TOP HIGH SCHOOL GRADS

Making the most of a second chance

In his freshman year at Auburn Mountainview High School, Iakeem Hogan was, he concedes, “a troublemaker.”

Hung out with the wrong crowd.

Got into scrapes. Didn’t care about his grades, society’s rules, what anybody else thought.

In plain terms, a young man without purpose, plans or hope, drifting slowly, inexorably toward society’s margins and failure.

Or, so it seemed.

“I was nervous about taking biology because I had heard they cut open frogs and dissected them.

But when I actually had to do it, it was a fascinating experience, and I just walked away from it going, ‘I did not expect that.’ But, oh my God, the smell from that formaldehyde!”

Elizabeth McClain, class of ‘98, recalled ruminating over “boyfriend trouble” with friends at a spot in some hallway, and about trying to find classrooms on the first day of school.

“Little sparks of memory,” McLain said.

One man remembered a friend who snuck into the women’s restroom in the music building and pasted in the stall a positive note about himself. And how deflated the friend was two weeks later to read numerous insults about himself.

Another man recalled watching through a window in 1964 when a powerful earthquake

More than one former student making his or her way to the old gym, called “The Pit” was heard to say, “Yep, same old smell.”

Auburn High School Principal Richard Zimmerman won’t miss the old building or its ancient boilers or ancient anything else – at all.

And no, he laughed, he won’t be throwing himself in front of heavy equipment or chaining himself to the building to stop it.

What’s next is that toward the end of June, he said, a company will come in and remove all the furnishings that aren’t attached to the building.

Then maintenance workers will clean everything out of the main building they need.

On July 1, the demolition contractor gets possession of the main building.

“That’s when they start the asbestos abatement in the building, and we don’t know how long that’s going to take,” Zimmerman said.

“Once that’s completed, we start demolition of the building.”

Because nobody knows how long the asbestos abatement will take, there is no firm demolition date.

Actually, Zimmerman noted, the first to be demolished will be the metal shop, wood shop, electronics and horticulture area.

“We’re actually starting to move their equipment on (Monday) because we need to get them out of there. The reason we have to do that so quickly is that the bus loop for the new school goes right through there,” Zimmerman said.

“We’re closing the gym up the last week of school.

Starting on the 16th, building maintenance is going to put plywood down in there, and we are going to be moving everything that’s going to the new school into the gym, and it’s going to be there for the summer, and it will be secured,” Zimmerman said.

The PAC closes at the end of June and will remain closed for a year for extensive remodeling.

Auburn Police to make some adjustments to fireworks patrols

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn Police Department fireworks-emphasis patrols leading up to July 4’s big bang should be about what they were last year.

With a few adjustments, that is, based on the number of calls received in June and July last year and hot spots the department identified in 2013, Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee told City leaders Monday.

The department’s 2013 fireworks “After-Action Report” identified three city areas with the most bang, flash and boom.

The upshot, Lee said, is that the department plans to take some patrol officers away from the Lea Hill area – which wasn’t the most active fireworks area – and deploy them in the top three hots spots, respectively: Forest Villa and the Forest Ridge Area; the stretch between 21st and 29th Street along

F Street; and 8th and I Streets Northeast.

“So we’ll focus some more deterrent forces in those areas,” Lee said.

Police begin staffing for fireworks June 23, Lee explained, because that is usually the day when complaints start picking up a head of steam. Staffing should continue to bulk up until Friday, July 4, when officers are expected to work roughly 60-hour shifts.

airplane parts. TCEs are known to be carcinogenic.

Last year, the DOE began the process of finding out the extent of contaminated groundwater, which likely originated on the Boeing-Auburn property.

“This phase of the investigation is to verify where the edge of impacted groundwater is at the site,” DOE Site Supervisor Neal Hines said. “Initially, the investigation was on the Boeing property. In 2011, wells were sunk by Boeing, and the story has been that the northeast portion of Algona has had some

impacted groundwater, but only the northeast corner.

So the focus of the wells is pretty much in that part of Algona.”

Boeing will pick up the tab for the entire project.

According to Hines, the testing already done

by Ecology, including groundwater, home air and surface water testing, has not turned up TCE in concentrations that would be harmful to humans.

Ecology maintains a local phone line, 253-2197645, for people to call with questions.

Independence Day. Lee said what happens on July 5 and 6 has been the subject of numerous talks between tribal leaders and the City. There will be stand sales on those days, but no discharge on the reservation.

“Last year, the tribe’s assigned security officers didn’t show up to work on the 5th, which is really when many of the calls started coming in from people getting weary of fireworks,” Lee explained.

Under the supervision of the state Department of Ecology (DOE), The Boeing Co. began sinking 12 monitoring wells and 14 probes in northeast Algona this week to confirm the location and determine the impact of groundwater contamination by trichloroethene (TCE).

curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Signals will be upgraded and new water main and sewer pipe laid.

Planning for the project began in 1996, with completion slated for 2003.

Disputes over who would pay for the project, coupled with mismanagement by the Cy Sun administration however, delayed the project and threatened to bring it to a screeching halt.

“So it’s only about 11 years late,” Councilman Clint Steiger said. “Once the whole thing is done, this is going to be huge. The Gordon (Trucking) family has said in the past that they have huge plans for the property once the corridor is done.

“We’re talking about bringing some retail in here. They have some longrange definite plans for the property, which will all benefit us.”

Guier said she hopes that the improvements to Stewart Road prompt interest in the light-industrialand-commercially-zoned area, possibly from major national retailers.

“This project is going to help the city of Pacific immensely,” Guier said.

South King, VRFA weigh potential merger

BY RAECHEL DAWSON Federal Way Mirror Reporter

Public records indicate the potential for a South King Fire and Rescue merger with the Valley Regional Fire Authority should no longer be considered rumor.

“We probably started thinking about it several years ago,” said South King Fire and Rescue Chief Al Church. “Actually, many years ago there were talks between the Auburn fire department and District 39 before it was South King Fire and Rescue.”

But now, department officials are doing more than just talking.

On Dec. 23, 2013, a memo was sent to all department personnel with South King Fire and Rescue and the VRFA. The memo detailed a robust analysis of partnership opportunities within the entities.

It outlined goals, guiding principals, the process, the six committees that will analyze policy and governance, operations, labor, administrative operations, finances and an oversight committee to ensure it all runs smoothly.

Man killed, woman critically injured in crash REPORTER STAFF

A man was killed and a woman was critically injured Sunday morning in a singlevehicle crash, according to Auburn Police.

Auburn police identified

The oversight committee is also tasked with presenting the final reports to both department’s governing boards. It is made up of Church, VRFA Administrator Eric Robertson, one to two members of both the governing board and board of fire commissioners and union representatives from both departments.

While the timeline states the committee work started in January and would be complete by July 1, Church said they’re nowhere near the deadline they anticipated, and it’s “going to take much longer.”

“As we started delving into this, there’s significant differences, especially in the labor group,” Church said.

Differences in how the fire departments are funded and the fact that Valley Regional has civil services and South King Fire doesn’t are more discrepancies to analyze, he said.

South King Fire covers the larger area of Federal Way, Des Moines and part of unincorporated King County, while Valley Regional covers Algona, Auburn and Pacific.

Police said that the woman, in her early 40s, was driving southbound around 2 a.m.

Sunday in the 700 block of Auburn Way North when she hit a power pole.

The man, also in his early 40s, was not wearing

a seatbelt, died at the scene, and the woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center where she remains with critical injuries.

“The Traffic Section is investigating, and possible charges are being considered, mostly vehicular homicide,” said Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman.

– Iakeem Hogan, a West Auburn High School graduate

MY TURN

Area’s WGU emerges as an unconventional success story Imagine 350 college grads walking across the stage to receive their degrees in a ceremony with no valedictorian and no student honors. That is exactly what the 2014 graduating class looked like when WGU Washington held its third graduation ceremony earlier this month.

Sounds unconventional and non-traditional? It is, and intentionally so.

WGU Washington has no campus and the students are not required to attend courses in person. They do their coursework online with their mentors while they stay at home with their families. Most work, but all do their studies at their own pace, not the university’s or the instructors’. The average bachelor’s degree takes 30 months.

WGU stands for Western Governors University. Founded in 1997 by 19 governors, it came to Washington in 2011 when then-Senator Jim Kastama (DPuyallup) and Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney (D-Seattle) sponsored the legislation.

The university serves working adults and the 950,000 state residents who have started – but not finished – their college degrees.

The average age of the WGU Washington student is 36. Students come from urban, suburban and rural areas.

WGU Washington uses competency-based instruction that measures learning rather than time in a classroom. In other words, you need to know the information thoroughly before you move to the next level. It is a pass-fail system with no letter grades. The important thing is the student masters his or her work, so potential employers know they can do the job.

It doesn’t matter if you miss a class where important information was covered because WGU Washington is self-paced with mentors tracking progress and assisting students to master the materials.

And there’s another difference.

Typically, after the graduation ceremony euphoria wears off for graduates of traditional colleges and universities, students are faced with starting a new life away from campus, finding a job and starting to repay their student loans.

The cost of a college education is staggering these days, and 71 percent of grads are leaving college with loans averaging almost $30,000 – and the Federal Reserve reports that student loan debt has nearly tripled over the last decade.

That heavy debt weighs on students long after they leave college.

Does this mean that WGU will replace the traditional college campus?

No, but it offers working students and those who dropped out of college another affordable option.

hour, students may complete as many courses as they are able during a term without incurring additional costs.

Compounding the problem for the graduates of traditional brick and mortar campuses is the job market remains tight. According to an Accenture survey, only 11 percent of this year’s graduates are leaving college with a job offer in hand. And almost half of graduates from 2012 and 2013 report they are underemployed and working in jobs that have nothing to do with their college degrees.

Compare that to WGU graduates.

And Pew found that student borrowers carried almost twice as much other debt (car loans, credit cards, mortgages) than nonborrowers.

On the other hand, WGU Washington is affordable because tuition is charged at a flat rate of approximately $6,000 per 12-month term for most programs. Rather than paying per credit

Lois was the only daughter of Earl and Mary Wells. She married brother Bob’s friend, Harry Sully, in 1946. Moving to Lake Hills (Bellevue) in 1960, they raised Monica, Stephanie and Linda.

She sang of leaving her heart in San Francisco – in reality she gave her heart wherever she went. Lois used her myriad of talents as a room mother, scout leader, PTA board member, kitchen table counselor, garden advisor, gracious hostess and Lions Club supporter. She loved her daughters and was delighted when the family expanded through the addition of sons-in-law and grandchildren.

Lois will be remembered as the helpful “insurance lady” at Pacific Car and Foundry, the smiling sales clerk at Lake Hills Drug, and the friendly volunteer at Bellewood and Auburn Meadows. The last years of her life she shared her laughter, kindness and quiet faith with the staff and volunteers at BaileyBoushay House in Seattle.

This summer her life will be honored at a celebration by friends and her family: Dennis, Betty, Kyle and Chelsea Stover; Bill, Stephanie, Jeremy, Tiffany, Josh and Alexis Hedrick; and Steve, Lin, Arianna and Quinlin Peters.

And where she’s headed, this Auburn High graduate will need every bit of that heady stuff.

“I hope to become a doctor someday,” Anderson said.

Not just any doctor, it turns out, but a neurologist. You know, the brainy folks who study the human brain?

“I have had a lot of really great science classes here at Auburn High School, and I have always known I wanted to do something science related, whether that be as a teacher, or as a researcher,” Anderson said.

“It’s been a lot of work trying to motivate a bunch of students to a yearbook,” he said. “It helped me to become a leader.”

Baunach credits his friend, Andrew Cooper, for helping him find his way in school.

Together – as yearbook editors – they have grown through the struggles of put-

ting together a comprehensive yearbook that’s reflective of all students.

In debate, Baunach mentored students and even judged tournaments.

Baunach, son of Anne and Jay Baunach, will attend St. Olaf College, a private liberal arts school of the Lutheran church in Northfield, Minn., where he plans to major in mathematics. He eventually would like to attend grad school to study engineering.

Four years at Auburn Riverside High School taught Crystal Song and Jonathan Baunach many things, the most important of which is to believe in yourself.

Quiet and unassuming as apprehensive freshmen, Song and Baunach blossomed as leaders of the class of 2014. Both are straight-A students, representing the top 1 percent of the 375 graduating seniors.

“I feel like I’ve grown up so much … having to find my way into the crowd and finding my way out of it to better the community,” said Song, who made an impact as senior class president, varsity golf captain and National Honor Society officer.

“It’s allowed me to open up,” Baunach said of his experiences. “My freshman year, I would be scared talking to one person. … But as I got around more people, I learned to become more social and grow in ways I never expected.”

I had teachers who wrote recommendation letters and helped me with my resume. I got a job right there at the interview.

“I believe that if I hadn’t come here, I would be somewhere I wouldn’t want to be,” Hogan said.

Amanda Carlson Amanda Carlson had a lot in common with her good friend, Hogan.

Hanging out with the wrong crowd in her freshman and sophomore years, staying out late, doing “a lot of stuff ” she knew she

shouldn’t have been doing.

Luckily for her, at the start of her junior year her own inner voice shouted at her that she’d better change.

“One day, my mom and me came to the conclusion that it would be best for me to go to a smaller school,” Carlson said.

So, like Hogan, Carlson transferred to West Auburn High. And just like him, she found herself, thrived in the environment, dreamed dreams And began to think about her future.

“I learned that I really love math,” Carlson said. “I used to hate it. But when I took an accounting class, I came to the conclusion that I wanted be an accountant or marketing manager. A couple of years ago I didn’t care where I was going. I was just living the life and didn’t even know what I wanted, or who I was.”

She plans to attend col-

lege, although she may take a year off first, work and save money. Certainly she’ll ride dirt bikes just as she has been doing since she was 5 years old.

Carlson’s life today is worlds apart from what she had once expected.

She too had heard the stories about West Auburn – that it was the place where bad kids went.

“I was kind of happy about that at the time because I used to do some of that stuff,” Carlson remembers with a laugh. “But when I got here, after the first week, I realized that this school was not at all what everybody had been saying.”

Indeed, everybody there welcomed her in as part of the family.

“I loved how we didn’t get smashed with homework or overloaded,” Carlson said.

“It was smaller classrooms, and the teachers were more focused on the students.”

Today Hogan, a shy young man, despite his powerful 6-foot-3, 280-pound build, spills over with plans for a future he once, deep down, suspected he wouldn’t have.

“After West Auburn, I’ll be going to college and getting a criminal justice degree so I can become a DEA agent. I think criminal justice and business is what I’ll be taking a role in. I chose criminal justice because my family’s history has a lot of criminal background. I wanted to be the one to change that for my family, so that’s what I’m going to do.”

None of that was clear when he made the crosstown move.

“Man, I heard the stories, that West Auburn was all bad students, and that I really wouldn’t get along with anybody,” Hogan said. “But after a couple months, I felt that this was a good decision that I had made. The majority of people are here for the same reason: they’re trying to change themselves.

“We all come together as one here. We might have different issues and different belief, at one moment, but by the end of the week, we’re all together as one,” Hogan added.

Being at a smaller school, Hogan continued, forges much stronger connections with other people, students and teachers alike.

For Koehler, a 4.0 student with honors, that means Seattle University and the chance to study criminal justice.

“I’m ready for new things,” said Koehler, who excelled in advanced leadership class, mentoring and engaging students to work with staff in a variety of endeavors. “I’ve been given so many great opportunities. That’s something I will build upon at Seattle U, but something I will miss here, that connection.”

For Lipinski, a 3.9 student with honors, the next step takes him to the University of Washington, where he will join the heralded and ultra-competitive computer science program.

“I always like to challenge myself and do more difficult things,” said Lipinski, who aspires to be a computer software engineer.

Koehler and Lipinski are following their father’s footsteps. Koehler’s dad is a corrections officer, Lipinski’s a Boeing software engineer.

Koehler hopes one day to be an investigator, perhaps for the FBI. “I know that I alone cannot reform the system, but the opportunity to get myself out there and to make a difference in somebody’s life is important to me,” she said.

Koehler shone through her work with the Lions Crew, a leadership/mentorship program. She led many activities, including a donation drive for the Auburn Food Bank. She was a member of the National Honor Society for three years.

Lipinski, son of Phil and Debbie Lipinski, was a member of the calculus club and played a role in the school’s FIRST robotics club that advanced to the world championship semifinals in St. Louis, Mo. He also was a four-year letter winner in swimming and diving and played for two seasons on the water polo team.

From the moment they first picked up bat and glove as youngsters, Tyler Friis and Joey Cassano became inseparable teammates. As competitive, allaround good athletes, they formed the foundation of many of their teams – from Little League to the summer select season, from fall camps to high school, where they were part of Auburn Mountainview’s 3A state championship in 2013.

Their love for the game was a connection, a passion.

“When I was little, I remember telling my dad I wanted to switch teams and play with Tyler,” Cassano said.

[ BASEBALL from page 9 ] Friis and Cassano have come far in baseball. Once considered just average players, they blossomed with hard work, good coaching and family support.

“We weren’t real good until the middle of high school,” Friis said.

“In Little League, I was just the short and chubby guy,” Cassano replied.

“I wasn’t that good, either,” Friis added. “The start of select ball is when we started to get pretty good.”

“I grew a bit and thinned out, that’s what helped me,”

Cassano said.

“I started working harder and got better coaching,” Friis said.

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Friis, once the runt on the team, grew into a quick, fluid shortstop, with a solid bat and glove. Cassano, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder, is an explosive player with big-play ability.

Each leaves his mark on the Auburn Mountainview program, Friis wraps up his prep career with a .343 batting average with 55 varsity games played. In at-bats, Friis had 46 hits, with 24 RBIs, seven doubles and a triple. He

scored 40 times, stole 23 bases (including 18 his senior year) and finishes with a .839 on base percentage.

Cassano, who made the varsity team as a freshman, finishes with a .292 batting average with 29 RBIS, seven doubles, three triples and a home run. In 209 at bats he had 61 hits and scored 63 times. His on base percentage was .806.

Despite their impressive individual stats, Friis and Cassano point to the Lions’ magical title run last spring as the highlight..

“I think as soon as we started having a lot of comeback wins when the playoffs started, then you just knew,” he said.

“That team just fit together perfectly, everyone got along,” Cassano said. “It was like a family.”

“There was a lot of chemistry,” Friis added.

After clawing its way into the state title game with several come-from-behind wins, the Lions cruised to victory in the title game with a 7-1 win against Seattle Prep.

For Cassano, the win was the highlight of his career.

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.

Bella Donna, A Tribute to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac, plays Club Galaxy at the Muckleshoot Casino at 7 p.m. Friday.

Featuring a visual interpretation of the music of the multimillion-album-selling supergroup and the solo work of Nicks, the band has been plying its trade for more than a decade.

“We formed in December of 2002,” said Michelle Tyler, who interprets the visual and musical styles of Nicks on stage.

“My husband (Bella Donna guitarist Bob Weitz) and I have been playing together in different cover bands for years. We always did a lot of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks songs, and it always got the most response. People loved it.”

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to the tunes, Tyler and Weitz were wary of starting a tribute band.

“Twelve years ago the tribute scene wasn’t as big as it is now,” Tyler said.

The magic of playing the music was too much to pass up, however, and Bella Donna was born.

To give audiences as much bang for their buck, Tyler said, Bella Donna strives to faithfully recreate the music with a 10-piece band, including backup singers, and provide a visual element.

“If you’re doing a tribute, you really want it to be authentic,” she said.

That includes nailing Nicks’ distinctive style of dress on stage.

“That is actually one of the real pluses of doing this,” Tyler said. “With Stevie, she stayed pretty much true to her image through her career, and that’s great for us.

It’s really identifiable.

“People love the fact that I do so many costume changes,” she said. “I’ve incorporated all of that in the show. And that just couples with the songs everyone has known.”

Bella Donna has built such a faithful following that it has become one of the premier tribute bands in the country.

Tyler admitted that Bella Donna is also receiving a boost from the upcoming Fleetwood Mac tour, which reunites the band with keyboardist and singer Christine McVie. Despite the band’s success, Tyler said, the true impetus behind the band is sharing the music of Fleetwood Mac and Nicks with audiences.

“We are kind of emissaries spreading the word,” Tyler said. “A lot of people are big fans of this music. But there are people who aren’t as familiar with it, and they walk away feeling like they’ve had a special time. That’s because we play the music as authentic and accurate as possible.”
