Metal thieves rob graveyard Mountain View Cemetery left with $10,000 in damages

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

A Mountain View Cemetery employee noticed something amiss at Centennial Viewpoint Park when he started work at 8 a.m. last Thursday.

He asked cemetery manager Craig Hudson to come and have a look.

In the parking lot gravel the men found a saw blade that metal thieves had used the night before to cut the doweling that fits into the gate hinge posts.

The posts were still there – the gates were gone.

Another unhappy find: sections of wrought iron above the cemetery’s sandstone masonry wall and above a sign were missing from the section of the cemetery directly across from the park.

Evidence showed that thieves had tried to take more of the fencing but the wall’s sturdiness at that point thwarted them.

“We noticed there was a tow strap on the end part of that fencing that had snapped and tire tracks in the landscaping outside the gates,” Hudson said. [ more CEMETERY page 4 ]

Book reveals many surprises about Auburn

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Desperado Harry Tracy’s ugly face leers at us down the centuries from photographs: menacing, mean, densely eyebrowed – and oh, those ears.

There’s plenty there about the railroad in Auburn, too.

And many a grainy image shows us Auburn’s dusty downtown and the wooden bridge that once spanned the White River at the intersection

of present-day East Main and Auburn Way. But who knew that a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan met in the Fraternity Hall above the old JC Penney building for a time in the 1920s, roused to pointy-headed opposition to the wave of Irish and Italian immigrants – read Catholics – then pouring into the country?

Or who remembers that for most of the Great Depression,

MEET THE AUTHOR

Veteran fighting for military women in book, on tour

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Sarah Blum sat down to write a book about the war experiences of military women.

But when some 60 women veterans disclosed – many willingly, some reluctantly – the sexual abuse they’d suffered while serving their country, she tapped a darker story.

And Blum realized she had something strong, sordid, impactful.

Something that had to be said.

Blum’s recently released book, “Women Under Fire: Abuse in the Military” (Brown Sparrow Publishing), seven years in the making, is an unflinching, steely-eyed examination of the extraordinary culture of violence and sexual abuse

within the armed forces.

“I never went in consciously to write about this subject,” said Blum, a decorated nurse, Vietnam veteran and practicing nurse psychotherapist specialist who lives in Auburn. “(But) once I worked through all my emotions about it … it became very clear.”

“It is time for accountability and justice for these women,” Blum said in her powerful book. “It’s about bringing justice. … Most of the public has no clue that this is going on, and it’s been going on for decades.”

Blum, 73, discusses her book at the Auburn Public Library on Saturday. The public can meet the author and purchase her book from 2 to 4 p.m. at the library, 1102 Auburn Way S. The book is part of Blum’s mission, which is to DONATE TODAY: Auburn Food Bank, 930 18th Place NE. For more information or to volunteer, call 253-833-8925 or visit www. theauburnfoodbank.org.

call on national, Congressional and military leaders to address and correct the problem. What’s more, she hopes to engage the public in influencing and forcing leaders to take a hard look at the problem and bring needed cultural change to the military.

“I really believe the military is not going to change unless the public insists that they do,” Blum said.

Blum says there is well documented failure in military leadership to address sexual assault cases.

Her book reveals how military leadership ignores and changes evidence of soldier and command rape to protect its image while destroying the health and careers of valuable women.

The book chronicles the rape, humiliation and retaliation against women who served in the military in an interval spanning World War II Iraq and Afghanistan.

As Blum discovered in her research, the perpetrator is often unpunished,

even protected. The victim, perhaps fearing retribution, is shunned, shamed and isolated.

To directly deliver the message, Blum spent time in November and December at a Washington, D.C., meeting with Congressional leaders, urging them to take a look into the uniform Code of Military Justice as it relates to sexual assault cases.

Blum personally delivered 108 copies of her book, each with a special note written inside, to members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committee.

Blum also has appeared on radio programs, including “The Doug Noll Show”, and written editorials for newspapers.

She recently gave a presentation to Inspire Seattle, a progressive policy group.

She plans to attend a national publicity summit in New York City next month to meet the media and pitch her book in an effort to propel the message to the masses.

Sarah Blum

Blum remains active in veteran’s affairs and has successfully lobbied Congress to study the connection between Agent Orange and birth defects in the children of women who served in Vietnam.

“It’s been slow in terms of getting the message out, reaching out,” Blum said of her latest campaign.

“Everybody who has read the book has given me great feedback. … It’s just a matter of getting it out to a wider audience.”

Child lurings becoming more frequent in Auburn

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

SEW NICE Volunteers from Wesley Homes of Lea Hill, above, put in 600 hours of labor to cut, sew and press 350 pillowcases for the Auburn Valley YMCA drive for Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. The volunteer force celebrated the achievement by donating the pillowcases to the Y during its town hall meeting at Wesley Homes on March 13.

Christine Gifford (YMCA), near right, Amy Jahn (YMCA), middle, and project leader Helena Hanna show some of the work. The Happy Hands Club will collect the pillowcases and deliver them to Mary Bridge. Patients receive the pillowcases during treatment and can take them home.

The Y, at 1620 Perimeter Road, will continue to collect pillowcases until April 15.

RACHEL CIAMPI PHOTOS

In the latest, perhaps most ominous incident, a man tried to lure a 13-year-old girl into his car in the 1000 block of 22nd Street Northeast.

According to Auburn police, the girl had been walking to school between 7:10 and 7:30 a.m. March 3 when the man honked his horn at her, pulled over and began running in her direction.

The man gave up the chase, however, when the girl pulled out her cell phone and called police.

That is just of seven child luring incidents that have plagued Auburn since December 2013, according to Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman.

A Lea Hill resident described another at a recent community meeting at Wesley Homes. She said that her daughter and the daughter’s aunt, ages 12 and 13, were walking along 320th to put

a flower at a recent accident site, “when a man, 27 to 30 years of age, driving back and forth, stopped next to them and tried to talk them into getting into his car.”

The cases vary and involve different characters.

And it’s that very lack of a pattern or trend that has so far frustrated Auburn police detectives who are investigating the incidents.

For example, the vehicle descriptions are dissimilar, the suspects vary from Hispanic, to black to white, the locations shift from Lea Hill to north in the valley, downtown and south.

One incident involved two men.

“Even the victims are different genders,” Hirman said.

“The only commonality is the age of the victims varying from 11 to 14 years.”

If anybody has information that might be helpful to Auburn police, they are urged to call 253-931-3080.

Staff reports

An Auburn man who caused a car wreck that killed a friend last year was sentenced March 13 to more than 11 years in prison.

Brian Sicade, 23, had already pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle, attempting to elude police and driving with a suspended license in the Feb. 4, 2013 crash that killed 45-yearold Victor Allen.

According to court papers, here is what happened: On the night of the crash the owner of a Chevrolet Monte Carlo called 911 after he saw

somebody steal his car from an Auburn apartment complex.

According to court papers, police pursued the car southbound on I-5 at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour before Sicade lost control of the vehicle south of Port of Tacoma Road and struck a cable barrier and guardrail. Sicade and Allen were thrown from the car, and neither man was wearing a seat belt.

According to court records, Sicade was drunk and refused to talk to investigators, answering their questions with a raised middle finger.

“The defendant states he had been drinking heavily at a party with Wilson and stated he did not remember anything after that,” according to court papers.

Firefighters responding to an automatic fire alarm called in by an alarm company arrived at an apartment building to find water pouring out of the sliding glass door of a second-floor apartment. When firefighters got into the apartment, they found that the fire sprinklers had already drowned a cooking fire. After firefighters cleared the apartment of smoke, they helped the occupant find a place to go for the night. A later investigation determined that the cause of conflagration had been an accidental cooking fire.

Once firefighters and King County Medics responding to an unconscious man had determined that the cause was low blood sugar, they used IV therapy to normalize his blood sugar, enabling him to stay at home with his wife.

[ CEMETERY from page 1 ] “Someone had tried to pull some more of the wrought iron fencing down and damaged brick work in the process.”

Hudson estimates the damage at $10,000.

“It’s frustrating, especially knowing they are going to get pennies on the dollar for that, if a scrap yard will accept that somewhere.”

Hudson said of the metal thieves.

The City of Auburn has already filed an insurance claim, but there’s no telling how long it will take to process, Hudson said.

“We’re hoping to get the fencing back up and finished by Memorial Day,” Hudson said. “As for the gates on the park, I think

Mountain View Cemetery manager Craig Hudson said thieves stole gates and sections of wrought iron fencing. He estimates the damage at $10,000. ‘It’s frustrating,’ he said.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain

HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula.

According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions.

ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders.

ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502.

March 16 Stolen car: 7:49 a.m., 1200 block of 25th Street Southeast. When a man saw a red Toyota Corolla parked running in his neighbor’s driveway he called police. Turns out the car had been stolen from the 400 block of 25th Street Southeast.

Trespassing: 1:05 p.m., 1101 Outlet Collection Way SW. Management of The Outlet Collection showed a naughty man the exit and told him to stay on the other side of it.

glad that that portion stayed in. That fencing on top of that sandstone brick work down there, however, was loose enough they were able to pull it out of the wall.”

Hudson, recalling the theft not so long ago of the park deer sculpture, “The Long Look” – it has since been replaced – worries that the thieves may return to finish what they started.

“When we found out that the gates to the park were missing,” Hudson said, “obviously we called the police department, and they stepped up patrols over the weekend because we were a little worried about the deer that was stolen. It’s troubling. That park doesn’t have any eyes on it, and there are no houses there.”

[6] March 21, 2014 [ ‘IMAGES’ from page 1 ] Auburn residents had to drive to Tacoma or Seattle to conduct bank business because every bank in the city and in the area had folded?

Those are among the many surprises that await anyone lucky enough to pick up and gawk at “Images of America, Auburn,” a richly-illustrated, 127-page overview of the history of the area that is now called Auburn.

Written and compiled by Hilary Pittenger, curator of collections at the White River Valley Museum, it is one volume in Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series. Every book in the series, identifiable by its sepia-tone cover and rich vein of photographs, presents the history of one town or city somewhere in the union.

Arcadia Publishing, ever eager to fill gaps in its series, allows writers to submit proposals and actively solicits such proposals.

When it contacted WRVM director Patricia Cosgrove, she talked to Pittenger.

No, the museum couldn’t write the book, Pittenger said, but she, as a private author with generous access

www.auburn-reporter.com to information, could.

Pittenger settled on a chronological format that touches on the Coast Salish culture in the area before moving on to the earliest settlers, the days when the fledgling town was called Slaughter, when it changed to Auburn in the 1890s, its connection to the Klondike Gold rush, the rise of the railroad industry, World War II and the impact on the area of Japanese internments, and the aerospace industry,

‘How people were living’ “Once I settled on a format,” Pittenger said, “I just started poking around to see what great photographs we had to illustrate those little bits of the major portions of Auburn’s history, then fill it in here and there with a lot of social history.

That’s what I’m interested in – how people were living day to day, what their houses were like, what kind of jobs they had, what they were wearing, what they were eating, things like that.

“I also tried to do it as much up to the present as possible. A lot of history books peter off about 20 years before the present, and it’s so frustrating to

research them,” Pittenger added.

Pittenger anticipates some potential criticisms of the book.

“I covered as much I could about Native American history, but there are not a lot of photographs of pre-settlement times because they didn’t have cameras. And without any photographs, it’s hard to talk about history,” Pittenger said.

She was also disappointed to discover the relative lack of archival images of immigrants and minority groups in general, an unfortunate tendency of minority populations, she said.

On the positive side, Pittenger found plenty of photographs to illustrate the railroad era and the hop industry.

Above, World War I opened opportunities for women at home, including those in this 1918 photo at the Northern Raildroad’s roundhouse.

Left, motorcycle patrolmen at Auburn’s first separate police station.

COURTESY, WRVM “One of the fun things was finding images that explained what the hops industry actually was, because that’s something that most of us don’t get exposure to nowadays,” Pittenger said. “And how after

the hop blight, the whole hop industry transformed all those hop sheds to dairy sheds because cows were a lot more resistant to the blight than hops.”

“Images of America, Auburn,” is available for $21.99 at the WRVM gift shop, at

Barnes & Noble bookstores, and at Comstock’s Bindery & Bookshop, 257 E. Main St., Auburn.

Pittenger will sign books in April at the Covington Costco and in May at WRVM.

My plan with this week’s column was to write about something brainy, like free speech. You know, that First Amendment thing politicians and community cranberries throw around like a dayglow Frisbee?

Once I started writing, my brain began to hurt and images of buttermilk popsicles began dancing in my head. Here is the rub.

No one really likes free speech, unless it’s their unfiltered gossip. That is why we have a First Amendment (that apparently no one reads if they can possibly resist).

Free speech means someone has the right to annoy, irritate and infuriate someone else with political speech … whatever that is … I think … kinda.

My daughter, Katy, exercises her free speech on me all the time. I never knew I was such a dumbwad until she learned to free speech me when she was 2. Now I get free speeched all the time. My best attempts at suppression just seem to get me in deeper trouble. That may be the problem with daughters going to college and getting all smarty.

A week ago or so, Katy made me buy a new smarty-pants phone, which she picked out.

Yesterday, while I was writing this column, I had to take a picture with my new smartypants phone and send it to someone. I hit every button thing I could find and could not figure out where the dippy device hid the photo.

I finally caved out of desperation and called Katy to find out where my phone from the evil region put the photo.

It was cleverly hidden under photos. What sort of logic is that?

I got a lot of free speech from Katy for that one.

After being thoroughly annoyed by my phone, I decided to do something I was good at – cooking. I made some popcorn.

While it was popping on the stove, I became distracted with my hellish device looking at some recipe apps, and burned my popcorn. Fortunately, I have discovered a cure [ more BOX page 8 ]

Tell us: what other city of 74,000 people does not have a community center?

According to Councilman Rich Wagner, we have the money now, thanks in part to a generous grant from the state.

By waiting, the price will only go up.

There is a conservative group in town that wrote several letters to this paper against the community center.

Time and again, this group never wants to spend money on anything. They have no vision for our city. Their letters may have made some on the City Council uneasy, especially

Giovanni Di Quattro, owner of the Rainbow Cafe, is correct about the loss to his restaurant. Just this week he lost another four lunch customers due to our inability to park close enough, yet there are many unfilled spaces marked “Chase Bank 1 hour parking.” We are not very likely to try again unless the parking issue is resolved.

Maybe the City is not concerned about the revenue from these small businesses, but it certainly will not boost the local economy to have them close. The Rainbow Cafe has been in business in Auburn since 1929. The new owner deserves the chance to grow his business as well.

At 2:20 a.m., Dec. 29, 2013, Goodnow and his two passengers were traveling westbound in the 3700 block of SR 164 in a Ford Taurus. According to charging papers, Holmes, angry at the time because he could not find the house of somebody he was looking for, consumed several beers in front of the children.

According to charging papers, two people, one of them an Auburn patrol officer, the other a civilian, saw Goodnow speeding in the fog at about 80-90 mph hour in a posted 50 mph area.

Shortly after that, Goodnow lost control of the car on a curve on the north side of the highway, leaving 116 feet of tire marks before he struck a curb and went airborne. The car then smashed into a large tree, uprooting it, spun into a large boulder, spun counter clockwise and landed in a parking stall.

Goodnow sustained facial fractures and broken bones.

Although Brown crawled from a rear window, the Valley Regional Fire Authority had to extricate Goodnow and Holmes.

The first officer at the scene, smelling liquor on Goodnow’s breath, asked responding medics to obtain a blood draw before they treated him.

The toxicology report from the Washington State Crime Lab later showed Goodnow’s blood alcohol content at the time of the accident to have been 0.16, twice the legal limit. What’s more, the results revealed that he had 56 milligrams of carboxy-THC in his system, indicating that he had consumed marijuana at some point over the days leading up to the accident.

Zanes packs fun, participation into Gusto Hour

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Music is all about the shared experience for Dan Zanes.

The children’s entertainer and Grammy Award-winning musician looks to engage the audience in The Dan Zanes Song Gusto Hour at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, part of the Ave Kids Series.

Unlike many kid’s concerts, the Gusto Hour provides an opportunity for audience participation, with a songbook featuring lyrics and music available for download at www.danzanes.com. Concert goers are encouraged to learn the songs and bring their own instruments to accompany Zanes.

“It’s just another level of social music that I’ve been able to discover and bring to audiences,” Zanes said.

Zanes, who first gained notoriety as the Zanes lead singer and guitarist with the 1980s rock band Del Fuegos, began doing music for children and families in the late ’90s.

“I was trying to make it a shared experience,” he said. “I wanted to try and make it an updated version of the Folkways music I used to listen to.”

Such an attitude underscores why Inslee is looking forward to not having lawmakers around for a few

ers, who hope to capitalize on this opportunity to advance a mostly-stalled political agenda and leave his imprint on the state.

To accomplish this, there is an expectation Inslee will rely on every available instrument of power and exercise every available ounce of authority allotted governors through the state constitution.

Bravo presents: Kim Diehnelt, music director of the Northwest Symphony Orchestra in Chicago, joins members of the Auburn Symphony Orchestra to delight the senses for Classical Connoisseur: Pairing of Music and Wine at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 5 at the Auburn Golf Course banquet room, 29630 Green River Road SE.

Initially, he said, he trotted out many of the classic folk songs by Leadbelly and other artists who inspired him.

“In the beginning it was much more about updating old songs,” he said. “I never felt like the world needed a whole CD of Dan Zanes songs,” he said. “A lot of those songs are really meant to be social and sung and danced to by groups of people.”

Although he eventually begin recording his own compositions, Zanes said, he still covers the chestnuts on his albums.

Then, about a year ago, he stumbled on the notion of the Gusto Hour.

“Part of it was a way to get to more places. It didn’t have to be as

expensive as bringing the whole band,” he said.

Zanes admits he didn’t know what to expect from letting the audience participate at first.

“It was a little scary. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s been great,” he said. “It’s incredible, better than anything I could have imagined.”

And passing along the idea that anyone can make music is the key for Zanes.

“Music is such a crucial part of early childhood,” he said. “Sometimes we tend to leave it to the professionals. But the songs I do really make a point. Everybody can do it. No only can we make music, but when we do, our lives are richer and more exciting because of it.”

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported an increase, the first in 40 years, in the number of preschoolers with cavities, in a study completed five years ago.

The study goes on to report that dentists are seeing more preschoolers at all income levels with 6-to-10 cavities, or more.

Sometimes the level of decay is so severe that general anesthesia or sedation by a pediatric specialist is necessary, because young children are often unable to sit through hours-long procedures while they are awake.

Such extensive and expensive treatment is largely preventable.

Dental cavities are the No. 1 chronic disease in children, so it would be wise to seek out prevention information early from your own dentist or the child’s pediatrician. Don’t wait until your child comes to you with a toothache to take them to the dentist for the first time.

There are a number of reasons more preschoolers are beginning to suffer from such extensive dental decay. Constant snacking, drinking juice or other sweet drinks at bedtime, municipal tap water that is not fluoridated (including Auburn) and not obtaining a prescription for supplemental fluoride drops if your tap water isn’t fluori-

Here are a few tips to keep your toddler cavityfree: In general, you should brush the teeth of children 2 or younger with a tiny bit of fluoride toothpaste twice a day. At 2, start to use a pea-sized amount. Fluoride is safe, like most other medications, when used in appropriate amounts. Do not leave toothpaste out where kids have access to it unattended. Young children have found and eaten a whole tube of toothpaste and had to be taken to the emergency room for treatment.

Reduce your child’s access to snacking. Eating any starchy or sugary food causes the acidity of the mouth to increase sharply, which is very damaging to enamel for as long as 20 minutes, until their saliva

dilutes the acid to more normal levels. The frequency of exposure to acid is actually more important than the sugar content of food and beverages.

Do not share eating utensils with a child at a meal, or “clean” a pacifier in your mouth before give it back to your infant. If you have active decay in your own mouth, you can literally pass the specific bacteria responsible for it to your children this way, putting them at increased risk for cavities themselves. The same thing applies to the specific bacteria that causes gum disease.

You should brush your preschoolers’ teeth for them. They really don’t have the dexterity or focus to effectively brush their teeth until they are at least 7 years old, in most cases. Since many young kids don’t like tooth-brushing, some timecrunched parents don’t push the issue. Honestly, it’s much easier and far less expensive to have a young child cry a bit while you properly brush and floss their teeth than when a dentist has to fill a cavity that could have been easily prevented with proper home care and diet.

With a reasonably cooperative child, most cavities that do occur can be treated in a dentist’s office with an injection of local anesthesia and some nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas” as it is often

dated are all reasons why the decay rate is increasing in children.

According to most pediatric experts, a child’s first visit to the dentist should happen by their first birthday. They may have only a few teeth, but it is important that they be assessed for their overall cavity risk. That is also a great appointment for the parent to get any clarification needed or clear up any misunderstandings about preventing decay in the future.

called. However, your dentist will usually recommend general anesthesia or sedation in a pediatric specialist’s office or hospital for preschoolers with extensive problems. This is especially true in cases where they will not even let the dentist take a good look or get the X-rays they need for diagnosis. The cost to parents for a dental restoration under general anesthesia for a child can easily be several thousand dollars.

Some readers may have the mistaken idea that this is a socioeconomic problem limited to children from households of low income and educational status.

Although statistically those children do have higher rates of decay, the increasing decay rate is not limited to children from that group.

Developing a sweet tooth as a toddler only makes it that much harder to stay away from sodas, candy and the so-called “energy drinks” when they become teenagers. We owe it to our kids to educate ourselves on how to best care for them, including their teeth.

If it’s been a while since your child has visited the dentist, make an appointment today. Prevention is a much better strategy for your child’s dental health and it may just be one of the nicest things you can do for them, as well as your wallet.

Kids from financially stable, educated families are sometimes rewarded with snacks, fruit juice or other sweet treats throughout the day.

Some misconceptions about “healthy” snacks exist and have given some parents the idea that “natural” or “organic” means it is good for you. Fruit juices are more nutritious than things like High-C or Kool Aid, but they are also loaded with sugar and increase the acid attack on a child’s enamel in a similar way.

I’m not suggesting that parents forbid sweets entirely.

We all enjoy a little something sweet on occasion.

However, it should be occasional, not every day, and be followed up by rinsing their mouth out with water right away, and brushing their teeth as soon as possible to help prevent cavities.

TREAD 3219 earns Chairman’s Award at tourney

SCHOOL BRIEFS

Middle school students vie in math competition For the Reporter

Auburn School District students competed in the inaugural middle school math competition last Friday.

A field of 48 students competed as individuals and teams at the half-day event at Auburn High School. The Auburn Public Schools Foundation (APSF) sponsored the contest.

Participants took individual tests, mental math exams and competed as teams working algebra, probability and geometry problems.

Contestants were chosen for the competition based on a combination of test scores, teacher recommendations, aptitude and interests.

Teams were grouped by grade level and school.

Students received two points for a correct answer, zero points for a blank, and one point was deducted for incorrect answers.

The winners were: Individual, sixth grade, 1.

Zachary Botz (Mt. Baker), 2.

Jackson Conner (Cascade), 3. Alina Papirnik (Cascade); seventh grade, 1. Andre Hall (Rainier), 2. Teya Evans (Rainier), 3. Oscar Safsten (Mt. Baker); eighth grade, 1.

Hunter Whitlock (Rainier), 2. Conner Whitlock (Rainier), 3. Tim Bronitskiy (Mt. Baker); team, eighth grade, 1. Mt. Baker (Colby Tong, Jonathan Tran, Gobindroop Mann, Tim Bronitskiy); sixth grade, 2. Mt. Baker (Zachary Botz, Morgan Putnam,

Melaku Akalwold, Kimberly Gavin).

Individual winners received wooden plaques recognizing their achievements, and first place winners got graphing calculators. Team winners received plaques.

Elsewhere The Auburn Public Schools Foundation has made its first donation to the school district. APSF board president Peter Beckwith, along with other members, presented a check for $1,000 to the district on March 10. The first three programs identified for APSF support are the STEM/robotics program, musical programs and after-school tutoring.

Growth of the foundation will provide opportunities for support of additional programs.

The Auburn School District was awarded $445,722 as part of the Road Map Region Race to the Top grant. The funds are to be used for a North Auburn Parent and Community Partnership (NAPCP) program for intensive support to students at Dick Scobee Elementary School. The Race to the Top Deep Dive 3 Investment fund is to establish community-school partnerships. The fund is unique as it is intended to impact student outcomes and reduce the achievement gap through innovative and replicable partnerships between schools and community-based organizations. …

Auburn Mountainview High School is the recipient of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Safe Sports School award for its sports medicine program. The award champions safety and recognizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes. The award reinforces the importance of providing the best level of care, injury prevention and treatment.

When Auburn High School senior Ryan Hubbard looks at the banners decorating his school’s gymnasium – tributes to the success of Trojan teams past – he knows something is missing.

Hubbard, the CEO of the Auburn TREAD 3219 FIRST Robotics Team, hopes that one day his team’s banner – the Chairman’s Award won March 15 at a FIRST Robotics district competition in Mount Vernon, soon hangs with all the others.

“We want to be able to display that and show what we’ve won and how proud we are of what we’ve done with this program over the last six years,” Hubbard said.

“It’s the most prestigious award given to a FIRST Robotics team at a competition.”

Originating in 1989, FIRST – which stands for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology” – hosts an annual series of robotic competitions where clubs assemble robots and program them to compete in a game with other member clubs.

And at every competition, the team that best embodies the message of FIRST is awarded the Chairman’s Award, Hubbard said.

“It’d be great to show that off to everyone,” he added.

Even greater would be the chance to hang that banner when TREAD 3219 hosts its own regional competition March 28-29 at Auburn High School.

The event features 35 teams from teams all over

For Hubbard, who plans to attend college to study electrical or aeronautical engineering after graduation, it all started three years ago, when he first turned out for TREAD 3219.

This year, Hubbard said, he decided to go all in and lead the team as CEO. “This year it’s been a little different; each year it’s a different leadership role,” he said. “I’m trying to take a new tack and try to appeal to as many people as possible and attract as many people as possible to the team.”

Mentink era begins for Trojan baseball

By SHAWN SKAGER

LIONS AT A GLANCE •COACH: Alicia Thompson, third season • LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 13-14 overall, 4th place in SPSL 3A (6-9) record. Eliminated on Day One of the Washington State 3A tourney by losing to Meadowdale (6-0) and Interlake (8-7) • TOP RETURNERS: Delene Colburn, junior, pitcher/ second baseman; Riley Decker, junior, catcher/third basemen; Savanna Gusman, junior, catcher/infielder; Cori Creveling, senior, first baseman/outfielder; Samantha Slagle, junior, outfielder; and Marissa Petrovich, sophomore, outfielder.

• OUTLOOK: “We are planning on another berth to the state tournament,” Thompson said. “We have our state tournament battery back (Decker and Colburn).

Add to that a ton of speed in Colburn, (freshman) Zoe Collins, Petrovich and Gusman. We also added two more catchers and another pitcher, giving us depth we didn’t have last year.”

sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Used to be the Auburn Trojan baseball squad was synonymous with success.

A perennial powerhouse in the South Puget Sound League, the Trojans were also once a fixture at the Washington State baseball championship tournament, qualifying for the big dance nine straight seasons, from 2000 to 2008. In 2005 and 2006, the team, under head coach Tim Kuykendall, played its way into the state title game, finishing second both times.

For the past five years, however, the program has been less than stellar.

Soon, however – if new head coach Justin Mentink has his way – the Trojans will reclaim their status as a force to be reckoned with on the diamond.

And for Mentink, everything starts with the intangibles.

“We talk about character and class all the time,” Mentink said. “It’s a challenge, but they’re starting to get it and figure it out. Once they do, they’ll be fine. Can’t predict any wins or losses, but we’ll change the way they act and play.”

Mentink grew up in nearby Federal Way, where he was a standout outfielder for the Decatur Gators.

After graduating, Mentink started his college baseball career at Lassen Community College in Susanville, Calif. Transfers to San Diego State and then to the Washington State University squad followed.

All the while he was playing baseball, Mentink knew that, someday, he’d be coaching the sport.

“My family is just a bunch of sports nuts,” he said. “All we know is

The Auburn baseball program looks to a return to dominance in the South Puget Sound League under new coach Justin Mentink. Shawn skager, Auburn Reporter sports. I’ve always known I’d end up coaching.”

For the past 10 years, Mentink has taught at Cascade Middle School while working as an assistant coach at Todd Beamer High School.

He learned at the start of this season that the Auburn coaching opportunity was open.

“It was a unique opportunity where I’ve known these kids, basically, since sixth-grade,” Mentink said. “I’ve been waiting for this job to open up, and it finally did. So it’s fun because I know the kids. I jumped at the chance.

“I’m in a situation where I’ll be able to help work with the kids in

middle school and get to know them and build a relationship,” he added. “It’s a chance for me to change the whole mentality of the program. From middle school up.

That’s what I hope to build.”

Although Mentink said he’s inherited a slew of talent from the previous year’s roster, the real work for him will be focusing on the intangibles.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Mentink said. “There are a lot of changes to be made. But once they learn how to work and learn how to work the right way and get the [ more Auburn page 15 ]

We are young with four freshman starters, however they all play select ball and are very hard-working kids that bring a lot of competitive firepower to our team. I expect the leadership I have in Delene and Rylie along with my junior and sophomore returners paired with the freshman energy, to put us deep into post-season play.”

• TOP NEWCOMERS: Taylor Poe, junior, shortstop/third baseman/catcher.

• OUTLOOK: Last year the Ravens struggled through a tough SPSL North 4A schedule that included third-place state finisher Tahoma.

The team did not make the postseason, finishing eighth out of 10 teams in the conference.

It was a brutal welcome for first-year head coach Bryce Strand.

If Auburn Riverside is to be successful this season the team will have to find an ace to lead them on the mound. Last year the Ravens relied on Boogard (1-6 with 35.2 innings pitched) who gave up 76 earned runs. Valnes (0-2 with 36 innings pitched) and senior Heather Prettyman (9.2 inning pitched, mostly in relief) did not fare much better. Hopefully, the experiences garnered last season make for a better, savvier staff this season.

Offensively, speedster Bedsworth was lights out from the left side of the plate, earning an all-league outfielder nod and winning the league slugging and on base percentage titles last season. She finished with a .471 batting average with three triples, eight stolen bases, 14 runs and 12 RBIS. Boogard contributed with eight RBIs, and Terrell chimed in with a

On the field, Mentink said he hopes to address the team’s lack of depth.

“Our numbers are down,” he said. “We’ve got a couple good, young pitchers that will help us out and allow us to be competitive this year.

At some spots we’re just filling in. In order to be

good, we’ve got to have 10, 11, 12 kids that can be good at playing high school baseball.”

Although success is often measured by the scoreboard and the statistics a team puts up, Mentink said, he hopes Auburn will be known for turning young men into ballplayers.

Recovery Family Wellness Retreat set for March 29 at Camp Berachah For the Reporter

Guided Pathways – Support for Youth & Families (GPS) hosts the Fly into Recovery Family Wellness Retreat, a community health forum featuring Paul Weatherly, director of the alcohol/drug counseling program at Bellevue

[ tread from page 13 ] Hubbard credits his work with FIRST over the past three years for helping him decide on a career path.

“I found out I wanted to be either an electrical engineer or an aerospace engineer,” he said. “Before FIRST, I had no idea I wanted to go into that field.

Thanks to this program, I learned how important math and science are, and how you can connect the dots between ideas and theories in your trigonometry or calculus class and put that towards building these really cool robots.”

Although TREAD 3219 has already earned a chance to compete for a regional Chairman’s Award on April 10-12 at Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum in Portland, the team also hopes to earn a chance to move on, based on its performance at the Auburn Districts.

www.auburn-reporter.com College.

The retreat is Friday, March 29 from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Camp Berachah, 19830 SE 328th Place, Auburn.

Kent-based Guided Pathways works to support parents and children struggling with emotional, behavioral and/or substance abuse challenges by providing one-to-one parent peer support, parent classes and family social events for King County children and youth, their

caregivers, parents and family members.

Weatherly has been licensed as an alcohol/ drug counselor since 1993, specializing in the care of adolescents. Over the past 40 years, he has studied marijuana from a user’s and a clinician’s perspective.

Families who want a better understanding of the myths and realities of marijuana are invited to attend Weatherly’s presentation at 2:15 p.m., in the Hillside Lodge, Mount Hermon

Room.

Recent data from the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) 2012 shows 10 percent of King County students in eighth grade, 24 percent of students in tenth grade, and 42 percent of students in 12th grade report using marijuana at least once in their lifetime.

According to the survey, kids whose parents had “favorable attitudes” toward marijuana use were five times more likely to have

PUBLIC NOTICES

Aerial Attack

AERIAL ASSIST is played by two competing alliances of three robots each on a flat 25-by 54-foot field, straddled by a truss suspended just over 5 feet above the floor.

The objective is to score as many balls in goals as possible during a 2-minute, 30-second match. The more alliances score their ball in their goals, and the more they work together to do it, the more points their alliance receives.

Teams try to maximize points earned by throwing balls over the truss, catching balls launched over the truss, and scoring in the high and low goals on the far side of the field. Alliances receive large bonuses for “assists,” which are earned for each robot that has possession of the ball in a zone as the ball moves down the field.ex

But that’ll take a little tinkering, Hubbard said.

“We haven’t even used the shooter,” he said. “We’re hoping to get it working so we can get a better alliance and do better in the competition.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
