City could lose $3 million grant that feeds project Community center remains on the shelf

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Members of the Auburn City Council on March 3 said no, for now, to building a community center in Les

Gove Park.

The “for now” part left at least one big question hanging in mid air: the fate of the $3 million grant the State of Washington provided last year for the center.

Specifically, by what date does the City of Auburn have to commit the timesensitive grant money to its intended purpose before the state takes it back?

Councilman Rich Wagner, chair of the Les Gove Community Campus Committee and the center’s champion for years, answered that question at Monday’s City Council meeting.

“If we have not signed contracts for that project by June 2015, that grant will disappear,” Wagner said.

Wagner also noted the possibility that lawmakers in Olympia might

choose between now and then just to eliminate the grant as part of budget negotiations.

“It’s probably pretty safe from that potential,” Wagner said.

The March 3 decision shelved plans to start construction on the $9 million project this July.

Skills, Inc. benefits from jobs partnership

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn-based aerospace parts maker Skills, Inc. on April 30 celebrated its sparkling new partnership with AJAC, the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee, at its plant on C Street Northeast.

And there was a lot to shout about.

The partnership, formed to train precision sheet metal fabricators, is new in time and kind, representing the first time a business has hosted AJAC.

Sweeping success Volunteers gathered in downtown Auburn last Saturday for Clean Sweep, a communitywide effort that focused on cleanup and beautification efforts. Volunteers worked on general cleanup, landscaping, weeding and other projects at parks, trails and other

spots around Auburn. Mayor Nancy Backus, riding a Trojan horse made by the Auburn High School robotics team, joined Sen. Joe Fain (R-Auburn), to her left, and City and community leaders in the effort. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

Residents invited to I-502 discussion workshop For the Reporter

The City of Auburn hosts a public workshop May 20, part of its ongoing effort toward developing and implementing appropriate City code requirements in response to the passage of Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana.

The workshop runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Auburn City Hall, 25 West Main St.

Residents and stakeholders at the workshop can learn more about the legislation and share and discuss their position on the topic of statelicensed recreational marijuana uses in the city.

The goal of the discussion effort is for staff to understand and incorporate the opinions and preferences of residents and stakeholders to help guide the City’s decision-making process on how to best address recreational marijuana in Auburn.

At the workshop, City staff will present a brief presentation covering: what I-502 is; state I-502 regulations; jurisdiction comparisons; Auburn zoning; City regulation options; and an anticipated adoption schedule.

Skills, Inc., AJAC join forces to train precision sheet metal fabricators [ DEAL from page 1 ] For 50 years, Skills Inc. has made aerospace parts at the C Street North plant in Auburn.

AJAC, which is registered with the state of Washington, provides apprenticeship training throughout the state. Although it usually works with schools, it recently found itself in need of a partner, and Skills, Inc. offered its hand.

“We’re celebrating a type of apprenticeship called precision sheet metal fabrication,” said Todd Dunnington, CEO of Skills Inc. “That’s a core skill set in aerospace manufacturing. Some are called CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinists, but that’s a different skill set. Our interest here is aerospace sheet metal mechanics. It is a 40-year-old trade within The Boeing Co., within the supply chain. Many of those individuals are retiring, and that knowledge is disappearing, but it’s still needed to make airplanes and the tens of millions of sheet metal parts that go into airplanes.”

Founded in 2008, AJAC today has 256 apprentices working in more than 150 organizations throughout the state. This year the organization graduates 29 people, its largest class ever. It has 10 different occupations on its register of standards, including machining, said Demetria Lynn Strickland, interim executive director of AJAC. “We are celebrating the partnership of training and employers to increase the skills of the work force,” Strickland said. “Employ-

Miley Molestad, left, an apprentice for the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee, is training to become a precision sheet metal fabricator. With her is Tom Brosius, vice president and general manager of Orion Industries. AJAC has partnered with Skills, Inc. to train workers for aerospace manufacturing. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter ers need a skilled, trained work force, and Skills Inc. is a great partner. Not only has it provided the training facility for us to be able to conduct the training, it has also provided the instructors.”

It is a 4,000-hour program, split between on-the-job-training and some classroom instruction. The classes are credited and apply toward an associates degree. Graduates, Dunnington said, can walk out the door, go to Boeing and get a job.

“We’re interested in promoting our own employees through this apprenticeship program,” Dunnington said.

Maple Valley resident Miley Molestad, for eight years a sheet metal technician with Orion Industries, is an AJAC apprentice.

“I started out in my two-year

program at Green River Community College to earn my associates degree in manufacturing,” Molestad said. “As time passed, the AJAC program came to Orion, and I said, ‘What the heck, I’ll do that, too.’ “… The more skills I can gain, the better off I will be, as far as I am concerned,” Molestad added.

“I want my employer to say, ‘Hey, Miley, can you go do this?’ and be able to go do it.”

“I have never seen anybody as determined to make something of themself and succeed as Miley,” said Tom Brosius, vice president and general manager of Orion Industries. “Orion and Skills have been partners in a lot of businesses for a long time. A lot of our work goes to Skills to get finished, and vice-versa. We have a close relationship.”

Community Campus.

Councilman Wayne Osborne said then that the City may not have had all the money it needed at that moment to build the center and disliked the idea of spending $83,000 – “a significant amount of money” – to put a project out to bid only to find out later that it could not be built.

Councilmembers Largo Wales and Wagner were the lone yes votes.

According to City officials, the center’s purpose would be educa-

tional, cultural, recreation and social activities and large community and trade events. Also, to answer a significant need for the southeast King County area, where there are no multi-service, community gathering spaces.

A significant number of people, however, responded to the council’s March 2 decision with letters to the Auburn Reporter calling the center “a want, and not a need,” and declaring that the City should not build it at all.

City working to resolve issues with communal housing

The City of Auburn and Auburn Downtown Association present the newest Streetscape at One East Main Street, featuring the artwork of Sarah Lovett, through June. The artist is allowing her butterfly to be on display in downtown Auburn as part of Streetscapes Auburn.

For years, Russ Campbell, Hank Galmish and their neighbors worried about the single-family homes that had been, or were being, converted to cramped student rental housing on Lea Hill near Green River Community College.

Without permits or official oversight, the group told Auburn officials.

Along with the peril that such makeshift, tiny living spaces and their potential jerry-rigged electrical systems presented to the overabundance of students trying to squeeze into them, the group said, came piles of garbage, parking issues and noise.

The City’s Planning and Community Development Committee, the Auburn Planning Commission and planners listened to what the group had to say, then for months worked on the wider issue of all communal housing within the City, emphasizing single-family residential neighborhoods near the college.

On Sept. 3, the Auburn City Council passed a communal living ordinance aimed at the problems Campbell and his neighbors had put under the microscope. Regulations that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

As Jeff Tate, assistant director of community development services, told the Planning and Community Development Committee on April 28, the City has to date received eight applications for communal residences — seven in the Lea Hill area near the college, one in the valley.

The City has approved four of those, one was withdrawn, and three are under review.

Two of the last three are headed to the City’s Hearing Examiner for conditional use permit hearings in May. Auburn requires a CUP (conditional use permit) if a property is housing more than four unrelated people.

Other than a few minor issues, Campbell told committee members, he’s “very pleased” with how things have gone.

“People will work within the rules, or they won’t. There are two CUPs coming before the Hearing Examiner (in May), and I hope there’ll be

participation by the community. I kind of feel like what this community did, and later what the council passed, was kind based on our neighborhood. And I see it as very appropriate to challenge it at this point. This is the process.”

Since Jan. 1, Tate said, City employees have been busy assembling a list of properties and compiling information to determine what, if any, communal activity may be going on at a given address.

City planners have turned to the following five primary sources of information to get what they need: • Green River Community College: GRCC has provided the City with student ID numbers attached to addresses.

Although all names remain anonymous, Tate said, the information allows Auburn to determine how many student ID numbers are linked to a property.

• Prior code compliance cases: properties that were already under City scrutiny in the past because of various complaints filed with the City.

• Permits issued in the past showing space converted and bedrooms added.

• Information from neighbors and residents who may have seen something going on and asked the City about a particular address.

• Advertisements for student housing about town, Craigslist, etc.

The ordinance set a Dec. 31, 2013 deadline for existing communal residences to become compliant with the new regulations, with no possibility for “grandfathering” in, pre-existing, unpermitted, student/rental housing. Also by that date, property owners were to have provided acceptable proof, such as a driver’s’ license, that they themselves were living at the student/ rental housing address, possibly in a separate, owneroccupied unit.

Figuring out what’s really going on in those houses isn’t always an easy process, Tate said.

Campbell said some of his neighbors have watched students moving their belongings out of a house the day before a City inspection, only to move them back in the following day.

“People are wising up that there are regulations in effect,” Campbell said.

The subject this week is the seventh grade.

I remember seventh grade as the time the world ended.

In the seventh grade, girls suddenly decided I was surreptitiously swallowing snot.

I immediately defended myself and said, “No, no, it’s lumpy buttermilk.” Then I would limp and throw my right arm backward and claim I had been gored by a cow. Maybe if I had said a Spanish bull ran over me in Argentina I would have gotten their sympathy.

The great limp-cow gore whine always failed, no matter how many times I tried it.

The girls ran away and pointed.

That still happens when I enter a room, but it’s not girls anymore. It’s government officials – and everyone else.

Speaking of government officials and the seventh grade, after years of covering and following many city councils, commissions and government hopscotch, the images of seventhgrade cliques with pointing and giggling from across the dance floor keep returning to me.

With the 2014 political season officially breaking out of the gates, I have been trying to figure out the best method to choose a candidate for office.

If the candidates are new to the elected positions, most of the ideas they put forward will fall off the cliff once they take a seat.

Government is designed to be slower than a teenager cleaning his room and about as transparent – despite all the grand statements about being open.

If the candidate is an incumbent and states that he or she is not a politician, become nervous and check for a rash.

Ask the candidate if an alien with furry hands flew in from the planet Make Believe to pound signs into the ground.

I thought maybe the test should be to find out if the candidate has graduated beyond the seventh grade. [ more BOX page 7 ]

Support the effort for a nonprofit health center We are writing in regard to the April 25 article: “Campaign in full swing to gain support for health center at Wesley Homes Lea Hill” (Auburn Reporter, April 25).

Seven years ago we lost our mothers to lengthy illnesses.

Although facilities were available, our families found that skilled-nursing senior care centers were limited. As with many in our generation, we are beginning to recognize our population is aging and that there are still many needs that must be addressed to support our seniors in Kent, Covington, Auburn, Maple Valley and all of South King County.

We are concerned that there is no not-for-profit skillednursing and rehabilitation center in South King County.

In our experience, this type of nonprofit nursing home facility provides the best and trusted care for our loved ones.

For the followup, Nolte, now a mother of four children, ages 2 to 17, is basing the characters on those near to her.

“It’s called ‘Seasons Change, People Change,’” she said. “It’s about the main character finding out her dad is gay.”

Nolte said the concept is based on her relationship with her father.

“It’s my current life and my childhood intertwining,” Nolte said. “It’s a very sensitive subject,

so I have to be careful.”

As a Christian, Nolte said it’s important to find the midpoint between judgement and acceptance.

“I can’t judge. I can’t condemn and I can’t condone,” she said. “But it’s about letting people live their own lives and hope they make the right choices about their futures.”

Nolte also has the central storyline for her third book planned, again mining her personal life for stories.

“Me and my daughter are going on a mission to Guatemala,” she said.

To fund the trip, they are selling customized flip flop sandals.

A celebration of Mark Prothero’s life is Saturday at the Kentwood High School Commons, 25800 164th Ave. SE, Covington.

The open house is from 1 to 5 p.m.

Prothero – prominent criminal defense attorney, civic leader, community volunteer and coach – died April 19 at his Kent home with family at his side.

Prothero, who had waged a two-year battle with lung cancer, was 57.

Prothero is best known as one of the lead defense attorneys in the high-profile case against Ridgway between 2001 and 2003. As co-counsel, Prothero brokered a plea deal that spared Ridgway the death penalty in exchange for the Auburn man confessing to 49 counts of aggravated murder.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be sent to either the www.KentParksFoundation.org or www.HuskySwimmingFoundation.com.

HESCOs removed from entrances, opening Pacific Park for use

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Pacific Park reopened on April 28 with the removal of flood barriers that had blocked the driveways of the popular recreation destination during the winter months.

“The driveways are open, and the park is ready for use,” Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier said. “King County picked up the tab (about $40,000) on that (removing the HESCOs).”

The park is closed each year as a precaution against flooding of the White River.

In October, King County beefed up the HESCO – dirtand-rock-filled mesh containers – wall, adding a second row on the bottom and a row on top that brought the height of the barrier to eight feet.

Initially, Guier said, the City hoped to have the top

row of HESCOs removed from the entire frontage of the park during the spring and summer months.

“My biggest concern is drug activity taking place in the park,” Guier said. “When we were doing spring cleanup, they were finding syringes in the HESCOs. That frightens me. You can still drive by and see inside the park, but it’s not as open as it used to be. I just don’t want it to be a trigger for anybody’s misconduct.

“With the labor that it takes it wasn’t possible, though,” she added. “(King County) didn’t even give me an estimate, but we were probably looking at $70,000 just for the top row.

Plus, King County really didn’t want to remove the top row because it weakens the integrity of the wall and the base. It’s just not cost effective.”

With the HESCOs likely

King County workers install the HESCO barriers at Pacific Park this past October. Pacific Park is now open. Shawn Skager, Auburn Reporter to be in place for the next five years, or until work is completed on flood control levees on the east and west side of the White River, Guier said, the Pacific Police Department still had means to see inside the park and monitor potential criminal activity.

“On the east side of the park, where King County

bought up some of the trailers, they left a driveway where an officer can pull up and view everything inside the park,” she said.

In addition, the City has decided to keep the permanent restrooms closed.

Instead, it has placed a pair of portable toilets – one handicap accessible – for use

by park goers.

“With those bathrooms being closed, I feel it adds another level of safety,” Guier said.

The closure of the oftvandalized restrooms also saves the City money.

“It seemed like we were doing work out there everyday, painting doors, walls and unplugging the toilets,” she said.

In fact, according to the City, keeping the restrooms up – including cleaning, maintenance, repair, paper supplies and having a police officer lock the doors nightly – was costing the City $2,500 a month.

The portable toilets will cost the City just $400 a month, including cleaning and supplies.

Pacific Park, at 600 Third Ave. SE, is home to several City events each year, including Pacific Days.

Four candidates in running for vacant Pacific Council Pos. No. 1 seat

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Pacific City Council decides Monday who is to assume Gary Hulsey’s seat.

Hulsey resigned last week for health reasons.

The council interviewed three of the four applicants for the position and briefly discussed the selection in executive session at its workshop May 5.

Candidates for Council Position No. 1, Michael Hollenbeck, Katie Garberding and Howard Gustafson, were all there for the inter-

views. The fourth, Richard Woodall, was a no-show.

The winning candidate gets to serve out the 19 months left of Hulsey’s term.

First up was Garberding, who served on the council briefly last year as an appointee when current Mayor Leanne Guier vacated her position to become mayor.

Garberding, a five-year resident of Pacific, touted her previous experience on the council and her community involvement.

“If you would have me, I’d be honored to come back and help to move the

City forward,” she said.

“My previous experience was under five months, and I didn’t exactly change the world, but I learned how the City works and was proud to be part of such a group that has the ability to build and protect the community I have chosen to call home.”

She referred to her involvement as a volunteer at the senior center, her fundraising efforts and the other City functions she has performed.

The council also interviewed 40-year resident

“I was brought here through some unfortunate circumstances, but when I landed here, I was really surprised at what kind of a city you actually have here,” he said.

Hollenbeck said he hoped to work with the police department through the public safety committee and use his horticulture degree for the parks board and committee.

Green River Community College has been awarded a $77,749 College Spark Washington Community Grant.

The grant will be used over the next three years to develop and test the required use of an out-ofclass writing center service for students in remedial English. Students also will learn how requiring academic supports that are typically optional can affect the likelihood of successfully completing college level English courses.

The annual competitive, statewide Community Grants Program focuses on building the effectiveness of grantees working with lowincome students in middle, high school and college by funding new and promising practices that help students prepare to transition to college.

Green River is one of 12 grant recipients chosen from throughout Washington.

“We are very excited to work with College Spark Washington to create more visible pathways between our pre-college English classes and academic resources like our Writing Center and Career and Advising Center,” said Jamie Fitzgerald, Green River English faculty member and director of the Writing Center. “These enhanced classes will provide meaningful support for

developmental students, many of whom come from low-income backgrounds, in hopes of increasing their chances of earning their first credits in collegelevel English. Our goal is to equip these students with the tools to become better navigators of college campuses, and to help them transition more quickly towards degree completion.”

Green River will measure results using at least one of the four following indicators of future college success: • Eighth-grade algebra: Increasing the number of students who take and pass Algebra by the eighth grade.

• Early warning indicators: Decreasing the number of middle school students who trigger two of three early warning indicators: five or more absences per semester; course failure; suspension or expulsion.

• Remedial education: Decreasing the number of students who require remedial education in college.

• College math and English: Increasing the number of students who earn their first college-level credit in English or math.

“We are supporting organizations across the state working hard and making progress on postsecondary access, persistence and completion rates for low-income students,” said Christine McCabe, executive director of College Spark Washington.

Saar’s Inc./Auburn Savers Market opened its doors last week in the old Top Food & Drug building on Auburn Way North.

Company officials and Auburn leaders cut the ribbon Wednesday morning for the grand opening of the general and specialty grocers’ Auburn store, which offers Asian, North African and Hispanic ethnic foods.

The Oak Harbor-based grocer submitted a building permit application to the City of Auburn on Feb. 24.

The company spent about $85,000 rearranging elements of the building’s existing floor plan. Shelving, cash registers, produce and meat departments have stayed where they were, though the company made minor layout changes to office space and to some of the cold cases. It installed new storage area doors and a new ceiling.

Saar’s, a privately-held company founded in 1998, operates stores in Lakewood, Oak Harbor, Port Orchard, Renton, Seattle and Tacoma.

The company’s reputation is to go where other grocers could not make a go of it, marketing its stores to dif-

Club doing its part to help community, and beyond

Today the community, tomorrow the world.

A service-oriented club at Mt. Baker Middle School is making a difference by helping those in need.

The End Zone Academy of 30 strong is empowering youth through community service opportunities and fundraising. The afterschool academy also has taken on a large philanthropic endeavor to raise $10,000 to build a one-room schoolhouse in South America.

“The kids get it,” said Susan Winter, a sixth-grade teacher and club advisor, on the purpose of the academy. “What we do makes a difference, and that’s really incredible.”

Through community service and fundraising efforts, students have gained some perspective and a greater appreciation of what they have as they extend a helping hand for those struggling with less.

“It has taught us life skills,” said sixth-grader Sophia Randall. “It has taught us how to help others who are hurting.”

The EZA provided volunteer support for the Auburn Food Bank, the Auburn Valley Humane Society and Terry Home, an assisted living

home for adults with traumatic brain injuries.

“It’s been an eye-opening experience,” said Janel Britten, a parent volunteer for the club. “(My son, Ben) has become appreciative of what he has by seeing what everybody else has.”

The club also participated in the We Day at Seattle’s KeyArena in March, an educational, inspirational event that calls for young people to lead local and global change.

The EZA furthered its reach by undergoing an extensive campaign through Free The Children to raise money and help build a school in South America. Free The Children, a nonprofit organization established in 1994, is working to build 200 schools in developing countries, part of its Year of Education initiative launched last September.

The EZA also enrolled the support of Cascade Middle School’s Builders Club and Ilalko Elementary School.

The club made morning announcements, put up posters and put out little schoolhouse donation boxes.

Lately, the EZA called upon par-

ents and the business community to support the effort.

To date, the campaign raised more than $2,300. The deadline to reach the goal is May 30.

“It’s going to take the village of Auburn to make this possibility into a reality,” Winter said.

AUBURN MAN OFF TO WEST POINT: Spc. Christian Ackerman, of the Washington National Guard, heads to the United States Military Academy’s Preparatory School in July.

“I want to continue to serve and improve,” said Ackerman, a geospatial imagery analyst from Auburn who is assigned to the Guard’s 81st Brigade Ackerman Special Troops Battalion.

Ackerman, an Auburn Mountainview High School graduate and Green River and High line community college student, joined the Guard two years ago.

“He is an outstanding young soldier who has a great plan for his future,” wrote Capt. Joseph Siemandel, Ackerman’s company commander.

Ackerman said that he is interested in the academy’s engineering program and would like to continue to work in the intelligence field.

Former LIon Brandon Williams named GNAC pitcher of the year Central Washington University junior pitcher Brandon Williams – an Auburn Mountainview graduate – has been named the Greater Northwest Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year. Williams posted a league-leading 2.04 ERA this season in 70 2/3 innings of work, finishing with a 8-3 record. He threw five complete games for the Wildcats and held opposing batters to a .217 batting average while striking out a conference-high 81 batters. Williams, a 6-foot, 225-pound righthander, transferred to Central Washington University in 2013 after stints at Washington State University and Mount Hood Community College.

Raven doubles nothing but trouble for foes

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

On Wednesday the Auburn Riverside girls tennis team wrapped up its regular season with a team victory over Federal Way. For the Ravens’ No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams – with senior Sydnie LaValley and junior Carson Heilborn at No. 1, and juniors Lindsey Sanborn and Jessica Fullford at No. 2 – the win marked the end of an unbeaten romp through the South Puget Sound League Central 4A division, each with 8-0 records.

“We knew coming in that they were going to be two good doubles teams,” said Auburn Riverside assistant coach Alex Barnes.

“I’m very confident that these two teams will be in the district tournament in a couple weeks.”

Not a bad showing for four girls whose main sports aren’t even tennis.

Heilborn said she’s been playing tennis with her family for fun her whole life, but she, and LaValley and Sanborn, are all

For Fullford, it’s soccer.

“I actually hadn’t touched a tennis racket and just showed up my freshman year and decided to play,” LaValley said. “I wanted to cross train for volleyball, to stay in shape and just for fun. I heard that the program was really good. I knew Coach North 4A tiebreaker game at Kent Memorial Park.

Sanborn said she got started on the court the summer before her freshman year when her best friend, Heilborn, talked her into it.

“I just stuck with it because I just loved it so much,” she said. “For volleyball, it’s a great cross-

over sport. A lot of the footwork is the same.”

For Fullford, her turnout came at the urging of her mother.

“My mom said I should play tennis, and I said OK,” she said. “I just wanted to try something new and didn’t want to play water polo.”

Coming to the end of the school year, the Auburn Mountainview coaching roster has a few holes that need to be plugged.

Among the vacancies are the boys basketball, volleyball and wrestling coaching positions.

After a lifetime spent around wrestling, 22 of them as a coach, Adam France recently stepped down to spend more time with his family.

France began the Auburn Mountainview wrestling program in 2005 with the opening of the new school.

Over the past nine years, the Lions had 37 state participants, 18 state placers, and 4 state champions.

Auburn Mountainview also had two top-10 and three top-20 team finishes in the state tournament.

Along with the on-mat performances, the past two seasons the squad received WIAA Academic [ more coaches page 19 ]

[ ravens from page 18 ] said. “Noah Freelund Freelund earned the win against the Falcons (4-11), giving up just three hits and striking out seven.

Cummings pitched an inning of no-hit baseball in relief, striking out two.

Senior outfielder Brian Darby went 2-of-4 with a run, a double and RBI for Auburn Riverside. Senior Andy Santos launched a solo home run. Junior Gavin Hettinger had two hits and scored a run, and senior Sam Gocken added an RBI. “We played a sound baseball game versus Kentlake,” coach Jon Aarstad

didn’t have his best stuff but battled his way through it, making good pitches when he needed to.

Our defense was as good as it has been all year, and it showed on the scoreboard with a shutout.

Aarstad continued: “I feel we are playing our best baseball of the season right now. Our kids have stepped up and played well in big games lately. We have some improvements that still need to be made in order to make a good run in the playoffs, but I’m confident we can get there.”

[ coaches from page 18 ] place to raise a family, and honors for achieving greater than a 3.0 GPA as a team and for having the the 120-pound Academic State Champion. FormerLion grapplers ahve also found success at the next level with seven wrestlers earning All-American honors at the national and college levels. France leaves the program in good shape, with five state participants, including two state placers back for next season.

Also moving on is boys basketball coach Terrence Johnson.

Johnson, who took over the Lions program in 2012 after three years as coach of the Auburn Riverside girls program, said he is moving to Tennessee with his family.

“I will be coaching boys and teaching at Centennial High School in Franklin, Tenn.,” he said. “We had several reasons for looking to move, but this is going to create a great opportunity for me to grow professionally. There is a unique environment in this part of the country with high school athletics. It is also a great school district with really high achieving schools. It is an incredible

we wanted to get our kids out there before they start schools.”

Johnson, who won a state title with the Raven girls in 2010, said the hardest part is leaving the kids.

“Not only are they going to have great success, but I really love those kids,” he said. “It helps me going knowing our Athletic Director Chris Carr will get a better coach than me that will take the kids to an even higher level than I would have. But I will miss them a lot.”

Also resigning is volleyball coach Nicole Claudon.

Claudon, a 2007 graduate of Auburn Mountainview, took over the successful program from Momi Bowles in 2012.

Under her leadership the Lions stretched their streak of state 3A tournament appearances to nine. Auburn Mountainview grabbed fifth in 2012.

“I am working on getting my teaching certificate and am moving out of state,” Claudon said. “Wish I didn’t have to resign, but life is taking me in a different direction right now. I plan to be back in Auburn someday and make time to coach volleyball some-

where again. I learned a lot as a volleyball player in the Auburn Mountainview High School volleyball program, but learned even more from the players when I was a coach at Auburn Mountainview.”

The school is reviewing applicants for the open positions.

ALSO: The Auburn Riverside wrestling program has hired Kyle Jones to take over its program from Steve Mead.

Jones is a graduate of Auburn Riverside, where he was a four-year varsity letterman and a two-time South Puget Kyle Jones Sound North 4A champion at 189 pounds.

He placed seventh in his weight class at the 2006 Mat Classic.

Jones has been an assistant coach for the Trojans wrestling program for the past four years. He teaches special education at Auburn High School.

He is the son of Auburn High School Athletic Director Bob Jones.

Sydnie LaValley returns a volley while teammate Carson Heilborn looks on. The duo finished the season 8-0. Shawn skager, Auburn Reporter LaValley said the secret is how the pair complement each other.

“Carson’s definitely quiet, and I’m more talkative,” LaValley said. “What I lack in skill I make up for in communication. I would say she’s a more skilled tennis player than I am. But I’m more talkative. So we complement and hold each accountable in all respects. It works really well for us.”

“We both like being aggressive and getting to the net, that’s our signature,” Heilborn

said.

Barnes agreed, adding that all four girls are fearless on the court.

“They’re all very aggressive, and they show zero fear, no matter who they are going up against,” Barnes said.

Sanborn and Fullford’s partnership began right before the spring tennis season began.

“Lindsay sat next to me in first period and said ‘you have to be my partner,’” Fullford said. “I told her that I didn’t know and that I wanted to

Ravens pitcher Noah Freelund on the hill earlier this season.

The Ravens beat Kentlake 4-0 this week to earn a berth in the South Puget Sound League 4A tournament. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter

None of the four players found the learning curve steep, and all four credit the guidance of Auburn Riverside’s coaching staff, including head coach Diehl.

“Tennis is a very easy sport,” Sanborn said. “And Coach Diehl is just a great coach. I give all the credit to him. ” LaValley agreed: “We have a really good coaching staff, so it was really easy,” LaValley said.

Last season Heilborn played No. 1 doubles with partner Brenna Bruil and earned a berth at the West Central District III 4A meet, while LaValley teamed up at No. 2 with Sanborn.

This season, Heilborn and LaValley decided to team up.

“This is our 10th season playing a sport together, between volleyball and tennis,” LaValley said. “We mesh really well together. And we were both voted captains for volleyball and tennis last year, so it made sense for us to come together. I was just below her on the ladder, so I just stepped in and took over Brenna’s spot.”

The duo’s chemistry on the court has been obvious, borne out by their undefeated record.

play singles.”

“I was set on Jessica being my partner,” Sanborn said.

Like Heilborn and LaValley, Sanborn and Fullford said the key is the way their skills complement each other.

“Our skills complement each other really well,” Sanborn said. “Jessica is good at ground strokes.”

“I’m good at staying at the baseline and lobbing,” Fullford said. “And Lindsay smashes everything.”

Both girls said they had no idea what to expect of the 2014 campaign.

“I was so nervous coming into this season,” Fullford said.

“I get nervous for every game,” Sanborn said.

Now, with the SPSL 4A tourney on tap for this weekend, the two are busy preparing for their first postseason tourney as a duo.

“We’re excited for the opportunity,” Sanborn said.

“It will be a great learning experience.”

“This will be my first experience at this level,” Fullford said. “But we’re just focusing on the SPSL tournament first.

We always take it one match at a time.”

For Heilborn and LaValley, everything comes down to making the big dance.

“We want to make it to state,” Heilborn said.

Orientation meeting will be held at: Auburn City Hall, 25 West Main St circulation@ auburn-reporter.com

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.

To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx
