Mayoral race going down to the last count

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn’s already close mayoral race tightened just a wee bit more as of the latest numbers at 8 p.m.

Tuesday.

City Councilmember and Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus holds the edge over City Councilmember John Partridge.

Backus, hoping to be Auburn’s first female mayor, has received 6,170 votes so far in the combined total of King and Pierce counties, 50.68 percent, to John Partridge’s combined 6,005 votes or 49.32 percent.

In King County, however, Partridge has overtaken Backus, 5,192 votes, 50.62 percent, to Backus’ 5,064 votes, or 49.38 per-

cent. Backus’ bulwark continues to be the Lakeland Hills section of

Auburn in Pierce County, where she holds a 858-to-563 vote advantage, or 60.36 to 39.64 percent.

Only 165 votes separated the two as of Tuesday’s last counts.

“It’s closer than I would have liked, but I’m cautiously optimistic,” Backus said Tuesday evening.

“I understand King County plans to be done with the majority of its counting by Thursday. I knew

Knudtson, Walker winning Pacific City Council races

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

If the trend holds in races for Pacific City Council Positions No. 5 and 7, it appears that Stacy May Knudtson and Councilmember Tren Walker will win their respective contests.

The latest batch of results in four Pacific City Council seats, released at 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday, show Walker – the council president who is running for his third term – speeding toward

a victory with 522 votes (69.14 percent) to his opponent Ronnie M. Harris’ 233 votes (30.86 percent).

“I’m looking forward to getting more stuff done,” Walker said. “It looks like we’ll have some money in technology, so it’s nice to get some of that stuff done, stuff we’ve needed for a long time. I’m ready to continue to work.”

In the Position No. 5 race, Knudtson leads with 495 votes (61.7 percent) to Gary Nitschke’s 308 votes (38.36 percent).

The two other races in Pacific, however, are much closer affairs.

In the Position No. 2 race, incumbent John Jones has a slim 34-vote lead, with 415 votes (52.14

www.auburn-reporter.com percent) to challenger Brice Erickson’s 381 votes (47.86 percent).

And in the Position No. 4 race, Vic Kave leads Leanne Guier by just 44 votes, 424 (52.74 percent) to 380 (47.26 percent).

Guier, who was unable to pull out of the race after being appointed mayor, said that if she were to win the election, she wouldn’t take the position but would instead defer to the City Council to appoint a councilmember for Position No. 4, which is held by appointed Councilmember Katie Garberding.

Results from the Nov. 5 general election are updated daily at 4:30 p.m. until they are certified on Nov. 26.

FLAGPOLE DEDICATION U.S. Army Chaplain Capt. John McDougall, above, plays ‘Amazing Grace’ on the bagpipes during Pacific’s flagpole dedication and plaque unveiling at City Hall on Veterans Day. Right, Mayor Leanne Guier helps unveil the plaque.

Led by City Councilmember Katy Garberding, the flagpole improvements – including lights and landscaping – and dedication plaque were paid for by community member donations and elbow grease from Boy Scout Troop 540.

The plaque reads “The American flag does not fly because the wind moves past it. The American flag flies from the last breath of all that have died protecting it.”

If there is no new money after Metro Transit’s two-year, temporary state funding from a congestion reduction charge runs out in mid-2014, it will blast a $75 million hole in what the agency has to have just to keep bus service as it is, King County officials say.

Which would leave the agency no option, officials conclude, but to slash service 17 percent by the fall of 2014 – in part by axing the Lakeland, north and south shuttle services on which so many Auburn residents depend.

That dire scenario, coupled with the fact that the City of Auburn pays King County $100,000 plus a year to keep just the Lakeland Shuttle going – it only runs during the day – has Auburn officials weighing alternatives to Metro Transit.

“We know that in the case of any budget cut to Metro Transit, Auburn would lose service,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “If you do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, there’s a definition for that … it’s called insanity.

“It just seems to me that if we know we are always going to be cut, we need to do something so we don’t have to depend on that service,” Lewis said.

One school of thought says that instead of re-upping with Metro Transit, the City should take the leap and create its own reliable home-town service.

“We thought, well, the Muckleshoot Tribe already has a shuttle. Why don’t we team up with our sister jurisdiction and talk about creating a shuttle system that works for Muckleshoot and Auburn both?”

The City wouldn’t have to run it, Lewis added, it could contract the service out and have the Tribe run it for the City.

City officials are also talking about creating a shuttle system just inside the City.

“I’m not sure we’d be looking at buses. We might be looking at something like modern trolly cars, maybe see if we can get some grants for it. We can get compressed natural gas vehicles or electric vehicles on a grant. They don’t have to go at high speed,” Lewis said.

Also, according to the county website, ever since 2009, “funding from property tax, gas tax and grants has declined by one-third… and continues to fall. An additional $50 million is needed for 2014 just to stabilize the declining county road system – and more is needed to maintain and rebuild the system.”

County passes budget; Auburn sees benefit for the Reporter

The King County Council on Tuesday unanimously approved its 2014 operating and capital budget.

The budget includes a $718 million general fund budget, of which 73 percent is directed toward public safety and criminal justice programs. The budget also preserves King County’s AAA bond rating by not using the county’s cash reserves or tapping its rainy day fund.

King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer

said that he was “happy that Auburn would benefit from this budget.” He pointed out in particular that the county, through its Youth Sports Facilities Grant (YSFG) program, was able to award $61,500 to Pioneer Elementary School in Auburn to help construct a new playground. Using funds from the car rental tax, the YSFG program provides matching grant funds to develop or renovate sports fields that benefit youth in King County.

“With a limited number of funds available, the grant process was very competitive, so it is a testament to our community that a facility right here in Auburn was able to receive this award.”

After passing out of the budget committee last week, the 2014 budget was approved by the full council and has been sent to County Executive Dow Constantine for his signature.

The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 181 calls for service between Nov. 4 and 10, among them the following:

Initiative 522 is failing to pass for more reasons than just the $22 million opponents shelled out to defeat it.

All those bucks certainly made a difference; it was the most money ever spent against an initiative in state history, so far.

Had those pushing the food labeling initiative done a better job seeding their message throughout the state and tilling the fields of voters, they could have harvested victory.

Rather, their pitch for requiring labels on foods with genetically modified ingredients lacked urgency, and their campaign inspired little excitement outside Seattle and urban pockets in Western Washington.

At times, it seemed those running the Yes on 522 campaign had not learned many lessons from the defeat of a nearly identical food labeling initiative in California in 2012.

As a result, the ballot measure, which 66 percent of potential voters endorsed in a September Elway Poll, is on track to finish with only 49 percent voting for it.

It is a startling but not shocking collapse of support, said political consultants, pollsters – and a noted chronicler of food labeling battles watching from the sidelines.

“Initiative campaigns are successful when they offer a solution to something the public perceives as a significant problem,” said consultant Sandeep Kaushik, who had a busy fall helping state Sen. Ed Murray’s campaign for Seattle mayor. “I’m not sure this initiative passed that test.”

While the public does see value in labels on food, they were not overwhelmingly worried about the presence of GMOs in what they eat, said Seattle pollster Stuart Elway.

That made them persuadable.

Advisers to the No on 522 campaign knew this too. They took a tack saying that, while there is nothing wrong with labeling food, Initiative 522 wasn’t the right way of doing it.

They cited their reasons – higher costs, new regulations, confusing exemptions – [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Congress should inspect, rebuild Obamacare In the midst of all the turmoil, confusion and partisan infighting over the Affordable Care Act, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s words have come back to haunt us: “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.”

Well, now we know.

Millions of people who buy their own health insurance are losing their coverage because their policies don’t qualify under Obamacare.

Contrary to the president’s repeated assurances, they can’t keep their policies or their doctors. And because Obamacare

one is able to see – insurance companies have done that for years.

The best thing about the ACA is that it puts some controls over what insurance companies can do and cannot do. They can’t refuse you because of a pre-existing condition, can’t drop you because you develop an expensive-to-treat disease, can’t discriminate on the basis of gender, and there are government subsidies on a sliding scale for low-income people.

Also, very important, there are minimum standards for the policies offered. Most people don’t even know what their current policies cover, and many don’t cover much at all.

Of course this is pretty much how it played out in California. This is why those pols not involved in the campaign wonder why initiative supporters weren’t better prepared for the tactics they encountered.

The Yes on 522 campaign lacked a convincing rebuttal on the need for labeling and how it wouldn’t bring a trove of troubles.

Supporters had money.

They spent $8 million – an impressive sum and only slightly less than their friends expended in California – yet could not get their response out often enough on television and almost not at all in the mailboxes.

Nor could they turn out their voters. Their plan called for winning at least 60 percent of the votes in King County, to pick up Snohomish County and to do respectably in the rural areas.

They are almost there in the state’s largest county. They barely got there in Snohomish

they are getting wiped out in the smaller counties of Eastern Washington.

Dan Flynn, a Denver-based writer with Food Safety News, believes rural voters are the reason I-522 went down.

“Indeed, the rural counties of Washington voted just like the rural counties of California did a year ago when they proved key to toppling Proposition 37,” Flynn wrote Sunday online. “When the medicine show behind the Prop. 37 campaign announced it was moving on to Washington state, I remember thinking, ‘Gee, a state with a larger rural vote than California.’ ” As of Wednesday morning, I-522 was getting rejected by 82 percent in Garfield County, 79 percent in Adams County, 75 percent in Grant and Franklin counties, 73 percent in Walla Walla County and 72 percent in Yakima County.

Those are impressive numbers, and are as much a reason for why voters put the kibosh on food labeling as the $22 million of opposition spending.

President Obama finds himself embroiled in several major controversies, of which the malfunctioning Affordable Care Act is central.

But as acrimonious as the politics of the early 1970s were, they didn’t stop Congress and the president from doing the business voters elected them to do.

At the time, I was an aide to Republican Congressman Dick Shoup. Although he was from Montana, Shoup found himself in the middle of drafting legislation to restructure the northeast railroad system. The once grand railroads of the northeast were dilapidated; the iconic Penn Central railroad was losing more than $1 million a day, and poorly trained dispatchers literally lost trains throughout the system.

Allowing the northeast railroads to collapse was not an option.

Shoup worked with Rep. Brock Adams (D-WA) to develop legislation to restructure the railroads and, just before he left office,

President Nixon signed it into law.

Their work created the Consolidated Rail Corporation, commonly known as Conrail. Conrail became the primary railroad in the northeast between 1976 and 1999. Today, as CSX, the system serves cities from Chicago to New York.

The point here is, despite the deeply divisive atmosphere, Congress and the administration still got things done.

Today, important issues such as immigration reform, affordable health care, and dealing with our mushrooming national debt are left hanging. Part of the problem is the way Congress works nowadays.

For example, President Obama and congressional Democrats rushed the 2,000-plus page Affordable Care Act to a vote virtually unread, with no bipartisan input or support.

In contrast, the Conrail legislation was meticulously drafted with bipartisan input. Utilizing information from staff and agency experts, lawmakers

negotiated everything in the final legislation, even the abandonment of a short, little used spur line in Little Silver, New Jersey.

Obamacare has some positive aspects, but they are overshadowed by a complex maze of mandates, qualifiers, rules and regulations that individuals, employers, doctors, hospitals and insurers must now navigate.

It is no wonder the law and the website created to implement it are mired in chaos and confusion.

Congress and the president need to put Obamacare on the back burner and dive into finding ways to make it truly affordable and workable without bankrupting America. Rebuild Obamacare using the same cooperative and painstaking process that Dick Shoup and Brock Adams did in restructuring the northeast railroads.

That will restore confidence and trust in health care reform – and our federal government.

Despite losing bid for port job, Lewis not hanging his head

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Seems there’s no polite way to say it – in his recent bid for a seat on the Port of Seattle board of commissioners, Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis got thumped.

As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, incumbent John Creighton had garnered 69.65 percent of the vote, (259,275 votes) to Lewis’ 30.07 percent (111,929 votes).

Without a wince, Lewis Lewis last week conceded the obvious: it was a pasting.

“There’s not really another way to put it,” Lewis said. “But I’m fine.”

Lewis said he realized from the start, given his late entrance in the race and Creighton’s healthy campaign war chest, how hard it would be to win. He takes it as a point of pride, however, that by the end of things he had closed the financing gap between his campaign and Creighton’s to $10,000.

What he could not

[ MAYOR from page 1 ] Partridge, still optimistic, is not at all ready to throw in the towel.

“I’ve been counseled because of the trend of change – in one weekend I went from 346 votes down to being behind now by (165 votes), which is going to end up right in about the 1-percent category – to wait to take the results day by day,” Partridge said.

“I would need about 53.5

overcome, Lewis said, was the name recognition advantage Creighton had in Seattle after eight years on the board.

“That is a heavy, heavy load to lift, but I did everything I could,” Lewis said. “I tried to run a really good, positive campaign. It was an uphill battle all the way. I don’t think I could have done it in a different way. I am not at all distressed by my efforts. “… I knew the mountain I was facing when I decided to run late, when I’d already asked all the people I had ever worked with on every campaign to go work someplace else. And I knew that the probability was not great. But I am not one to go halfway in.”

His message – the need to do something to keep vital port business in the Puget Sound Region by fixing the aging transportation system so it could accommodate the rapid movement of goods and services.

“I hope that the port commissioners themselves percent of the remaining vote to swing in my favor to make the change, but the trend has been in my favor. There’s roughly 2,000 votes left to count. It’s been encouraging to see King County go in my favor.

Since the records show there are only about 57 votes left in Pierce County and I’m ahead in King County, and that’s a positive trend for me.”

will work toward some of the goals that I have set forth,” Lewis said.

Though the current Auburn mayoral contest remains close and officially undecided, it’s certain that either Nancy Backus or John Partridge is going to take over in January and Lewis will be a private citizen again. That will free up time for long

postponed travel plans with wife, Kathy – “we like land cruises” – and to give himself to his appointed role as Green River Community College Trustee – “never had so much fun.”

But politics?

“Everybody makes the assumption that I am going to do something else, but I have to tell you right now that I don’t have any plans.

You have to remember something, however – I’m a trustee at Green River Community College. I love that role. I have never had so much fun on a board or commission as I’m having at that. And there’s this magnificent library up there that I really love.

“It’s a totally different scenario from what I’m used to, and now I actually get

to go to the meetings and be fully engaged without anything else in the way and go to all the other meetings they go to, which I have not been able to do much of. So I’ve got two years left in my current appointment. I don’t know if I’ll be reappointed. I would certainly like to be. But I would love to be a good trustee at Green River.”

FINDING OPPORTUNITY AT THE RAINBOW Café under new ownership; some changes in the offing

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn’s Rainbow Café has new owners.

Linda Douglas, who has owned the restaurant for nearly three years, sold the business to Giovanni and Clarissa Di Quattro on Nov. 2 for an undisclosed price.

Douglas said this week she plans to hang around town for a while and help the new owners before setting out on the road to do some traveling.

“Obviously, I want him to be successful, but it’s very hard to leave it. I’ve had a few emotional days,” Douglas said “It’s just something personal inside of me. I want to do something different, but I don’t know what it is yet. There’s a big world out there.”

Di Quattro said he had had his eye on the Rainbow for years. The first opportunity was in 1986 but he didn’t have the money at the time.

He considered again buying just before Douglas purchased the restaurant in January 2011.

“I started looking about a year ago and looked at two or three restaurants in Auburn, but when this

New in charge: Giovanni Di Quattro and his wife, Clarissa, recently bought the Rainbow Café in downtown Auburn. Di Quattro doesn’t expect to make many changes to the restaurant but plans to offer more dinner options. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter came up and Linda had decided to sell, I knew its history, I knew all about it,” Di Quattro said. “I think the first time I came into this restaurant was probably 1958. So I knew about it and how much work Linda had put into it. I decided to

go into it.”

Di Quattro explained what he intends to do.

“I’m not going to change it,” Di Quattro said. “It’s too big of an icon to do that. As for my plans, I’ve got to get the dinner crowd up, so I’m

going to do some changing as far as the dinner items. I’m going to put on a lot of specials and some Italian food. We’re going to give Don Giovanni’s a run with some of the food. But they’re high end – we’re more of a café-type deal. I want to put out café-type Italian food, spaghetti, lasagna, things of that sort that you eat at home and want to eat when you go out.”

Di Quattro, a native of Sicily, was a member of the first Italian family to immigrate to Auburn after World War II. A 1971 Auburn High School graduate, he has been in the food industry his whole life.

“I worked fast food while I was in high school, and then I went to culinary school. I’ve been traveling and have been a sous chef in the local area, a head chef, and was an in-house chef for a major food distributor in Seattle,” he said. “The last three years I worked as an executive chef for a large world-wide catering company on the North Slope in Alaska. But I got tired of being away from home.

“I want to continue the growth that Linda started. She basically brought a restaurant back to life that was ready to fold. Right now I’m getting my feet wet. As soon as I get it running smoothly, I’ll be back in the kitchen with the kitchen crew,” Di Quattro said.

Brinkman said. “So we’ve become known as a bar. We wanted to get our food back and change it back to what it was before.”

Although Brinkman watches the show frequently, she said, she was in the dark about how the process actually works.

“They don’t tell you anything,” she said. “It was our surprise to find out that it was going to be a whirlwind from the minute they set up tents to take over. They showed up on Oct. 27 and set up their tents. And then on the 28th, when Robert Irvine arrived, we had a meal service here.”

Brinkman admits the meal service was a bit of a “train wreck.”

“They tore me up,” she said. “He didn’t think I had any passion.”

Brinkman said much of the criticism leveled against her was from projects already started by the “Restaurant Impossible” crew, and not for the food.

But Irvine did ding her for the Monkey’s ice machine.

“They found black mold in the ice machine,” she said. “It looked like oil, and it had just been serviced, so that was hard for me to believe that it was in there.

Now, needless to say, our ice machine is spotlessly beautiful.”

Brinkman added: “Everything in here is 16 years old. Our kitchen is really clean, but there are things that look old. But it’s clean. They have to do that for the show, but at some point you’re like, ‘really, are you serious?’”

Transformed: The Food Network’s ‘Restaurant Impossible’ team used 36 hours and $10,000 to ‘flip’ the Spunky Monkey Bar and Grill.

REPORTER PHOTO

Some drama, too In addition to dealing with the business side of the restaurants, the show is also notorious for digging into the personal lives of their owners.

“Robert is exactly like he is on TV,” Brinkman said. “All the way around, from being a hard ass to being soft hearted, he was totally real. He knows stuff that you don’t know. And he digs deep into your personal life as well as your business life.”

A part of the show, Brinkman said, focuses on her personal relationship with Fox. “We worked together here, and that was becoming a bit of a problem,” she admits. “He saw that right away and dug right through it. And that’s also what the show is all about. So some roles have changed.

“They keep you crying through the whole show,” Brinkman continued.

“They wanted me to be sad through the whole show because I had built this place.

From the kitchen to the electrical to the plumbing to the decor to everything, I built it. I bought my first tool belt while here.”

Thirty-six hours after they started, the decor was redone, the menu completely changed and the Monkey opened its doors.

“Everybody loves the food and the service has been good,” Brinkman said.

“Out of respect we’ve kept everything on the menu for two weeks.”

The only concession to the Monkey’s old menu has been the reappearance of the Caesar salad and Caesar burger, the restaurant’s signature items, Brinkman said.

“That’s mainly what we sell,” she said.

Other changes from the makeover may also be rectified, Brinkman added.

“They took out the pool table, dart boards and

karaoke,” she said. “Now we’re trying to figure out how to bring back some of our entertainment without impeding on our dining.”

Brinkman said she’s grateful for the experience and the makeover and would do it all over again – with one slight change.

“I would want to have a little more knowledge on how I could organize the end result,” Brinkman said.

“Giving it back to us was awesome, but we couldn’t find our bananas for about a week. We still have a few bananas that are lost. We didn’t even have phone lines. They cut the phone lines, they cut the cable. We just found our TV a couple days ago. But they are probably the most amazing group of people I’ve ever worked with in 30 years of being in business on my own.”

Brinkman said the show chose her restaurant after her partner, Shannon Fox, applied.

“They just happened to be looking for a restaurant on the West Coast, and they pulled the Spunky Monkey out of a hat,” Brinkman said. “They called and said,

Impossible’,’ and we about crapped our pants. It was unbelievable and just a godsend, to not just us but the community in general.”

Originally opened as a small, 22-seat café in another location, the Monkey has operated mainly as a bar at its location, 124 Second St. NE. “In the last four years since the economy (went bad), we’ve been more of a bar than a restaurant,”

I’m not suggesting that your dentist is from Mars. However, is he or she doing all they can to minimize the impact of their work on the environment?

This is not a typical dental health article like I’ve written in the past.

This is about a bigger “ecosystem” than the one inside your mouth … the entire planet.

All businesses and homes generate waste and must use at least some chemicals and supplies. Some generate more waste than others, and some of that should not be thrown out with the regular trash. Chemicals and bio-hazardous waste are two examples of things that require special disposal.

Dentistry is incredibly safe when all the required universal precautions are taken, like sterilizing instruments before using them again, wiping down all surfaces with an approved disinfectant and using disposable supplies and covers for all hard-to-clean surfaces. All of these steps are necessary to make sure your treatment is safe and efficient. However, did you ever stop to think about where all of those plastic covers and disposable supplies ultimately end up? Just where you likely guessed … in the landfill.

Multiply that by all the offices in your town, let alone the country, Dr. Stuart Rich

Here are a few of the things our dental team has been doing to reduce the chemical and paper waste that we put into the trash stream each day and to reduce our overall impact on the planet. Some we have been doing for many years, and some we started recently as part of our ongoing process to become a certified five-star EnviroStar business.

1. Implemented instrument containers that can be sterilized and reused, to minimize the number of disposable paper sterilizing pouches we throw away.

2. Switched to a newer cold sterilization solution that is equal or superior to the old one and easier on the environment when it must be disposed of.

3. Replaced old Chemiclave sterilizers with computerized autoclaves that use only distilled water, pressure and steam. The old Chemiclave solution contained toxic Formaldehyde. The only thing that comes out of our current sterilizers, besides sterile instruments, is sterile water vapor.

4. Installed an amalgam separator on the suction system to trap the mercury and other metals that make up the old silver fillings we take out each day. This filter is serviced on a regular schedule, and the metal scrap is recycled safely off site by a hazardous waste company. This keeps the toxic metals from ultimately entering the ocean and preserves resources. As they said in the movie Finding Nemo, “All drains lead to the ocean.”

5. Discontinued putting in any new amalgam fillings in our patients teeth, because of the mercury con-

neurotoxin. While it has not been proven to cause any harm when used as part of an amalgam filling, there are other options available that contain no mercury, bond to your tooth like an epoxy glue and are tooth colored.

6. Contracted with a licensed and certified medical waste transporter to remove all bio-hazardous waste, including used needles, scalpels and other “sharps.” They are ultimately incinerated, reducing them to a harmless ash.

7. Installed outside light timers and set-back thermostats so things are only on when we need them.

8. Replaced our X-ray system, with its required toxic film developing solutions and lead foil wrapped X-ray packets, with a completely digital process.

No more chemicals or lead in the waste stream, and 70 percent less radiation for our patients.

9. Replaced, where possible, incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent or LED bulbs to reduce electricity use.

10. Started a recycling program to separate out recyclable paper, cardboard and plastics. All papers containing patient information are shredded first to ensure privacy.

11. Reviewed all dental materials to ensure that none of our tooth colored filling materials contain Bis-phenol A (BPA), due to cancer concerns when the chemical leaches out of the plastic used in some beverage and food storage containers.

12. Encouraged staff members to carpool when possible to save gas and reduce traffic congestion.

The EnviroStar program was started in the mid1990s in King County. If you have a business and would like to find out what you can do to become more environmentally conscious, go to www.envirostars.org to learn more. You may find some easy to implement ideas that will get you well on your way to becoming an EnviroStar business yourself. Some custom-

Correction for the statistic in the Sleep Solutions Northwest ad in today’s paper. It should have read:

ers are quite interested in supporting environmentally -conscious businesses and will seek them out to do business with. Like all good habits, it may seem a little harder or inconvenient at first to implement change.

However, just like flossing, the results are worth it!

Feel free to share this article by cutting it out and asking your own dentist if there is anything on this

list that they might not have thought to do yet.

Little things, done by many people, can have a great impact. And one more thing.

Cascade clips Ravens 31-28

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Riverside’s dream season came to an end last Friday with a 31-28 first-round playoff loss to Cascade of Everett at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

Throughout the game the Ravens (8-3) and Bruins (10-1) traded blows, but in the end Cascade won out, courtesy of Spencer Bowlden’s last-second 33-yard field goal.

“We made too many mistakes,” Ravens coach Bryant Thomas said. “When you’re at this level, you can’t do that.”

The Bruins drew first blood with a six-play, 60-yard drive capped by quarterback Josh Smith’s 1-yard touchdown run.

Auburn Riverside responded in the waning moments of the period, capitalizing on a Cascade fumble and scoring on a Kevin Thomson 10-yard TD run.

The Bruins put together two scoring drives in the second quarter, with junior running back Malik Rackliff pulling in a Smith pass for a 33-yard TD and running in another from 9 yards out.

Senior Joey Lucchesi scored the Ravens’ lone second quarter touchdown with a 39-yard run.

Cascade led at halftime 21-14.

Auburn Riverside opened with an eight-play, 64-yard drive topped off by Cole Huckaby’s 2-yard TD run to tie it up 21-21.

Cascade responded on its next possession with Smith finding a seam through the middle of the Raven defense for a 30-yard touchdown.

In the fourth quarter, Auburn Riverside knotted the game at 28-28 with a Joey Galeno 2-yard TD run, but the Ravens were unable to hold off the Bruins in the final two minutes of the game. [ more football page 18 ]

Rotter’s time in the 3.1 mile course at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco set a personal record for the sophomore runner, shaving more than 30 seconds off his previous best this season of 16:37.88.

Rotter, who also competed in the state meet at Sun Willows as a freshman, said this year’s course was virtually unchanged.

“This year was a lot more relaxing and easier because I’ve already run

the course and knew where the turns were and where they went,” he said.

“Also, I had a better idea of myself.”

Lion junior Jonah Zucati also competed in the meet, coming in with a 17:12.93, 89th-place finish.

The race was the fastest ever for a boys 3A state meet, with Tanner Anderson from North Central coming in first with a 14:44.83, and Seattle Prep’s Joe Hardy snagging second with a 14:45.16.

“It was a pretty fast race,” Rotter said. “I don’t know how it affected the runners behind, because they were behind me and I don’t look back. I just tried to keep my eyes on the top-two and not let anyone pull away from me. Because once they pull away from you, you’ll never catch them.”
