What’s lewd? City might set its own rules Pacific council approves new administrator

BY ROBERT WHALE

rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Lewd behavior may be something as mundane as an intoxicated person relieving himself in broad daylight on a city street and not caring who sees.

Or two people in a park enjoying

each other’s company, in the altogether and well, altogether too much, yards from where people are.

And a host of, ahem, other behaviors, some of which may fall into that infamous gray area.

A law working its way through Auburn’s various City subcommittees would

at last allow Auburn’s police to cite locally writen rules about what does and does not constitute lewd behavior.

Today, faced with a lewd act, an Auburn Police officer may only refer to state law. [ more LEWD page 7 ]

The Pacific City Council voted unanimously Monday to appoint Finance Director Richard Gould as city administrator.

“He’ll be the oversight over the department heads,” Mayor Leanne Guier said. “Basically, he’ll be the in-between, between me and the department heads.”

Gould began working for the City as an interim finance department employee on July 23, 2013. He was appointed the City’s finance director on Oct. 28, 2013.

Guier called Gould “instrumental” to the process of getting Pacific’s financial bookkeeping back on track after months of neglect under the administration of former Mayor Cy Sun. “He’s also worked with the personnel in the financial department,” Guier said. “We went through in rearranging some of the positions,

HURST For State Representative Issues That Matter June 25, 2014

An Independent Voice for the 31st District

Governor Inslee signs House Bill 2155 by Representatives Hurst and Dahlquist.

Dear Neighbors,

An example of how I do business is our response to the theft of alcohol from stores after the liquor Privatization Initiative. Some large box stores had theft rates as high as 50%, mostly by juveniles.

As chair of the Government Accountability and Oversight Commitee, I worked with my Republican seatmate, Representative Cathy Dahlquist, and we co-sponsored legislation that forced stores to more properly secure and monitor their alcohol, dramatically reducing their loss rates. That means fewer kids drinking, fewer drunk drivers and fewer fatalities on our roads, which makes all of us a lot safer.

That’s what happens when legislators from different parties work together as a team!

One of the greatest challenges we face today is trust in our representative form of democracy. People are weary of leaders that constantly divide us for partisan and personal advantage. I think there is a better way.

Sincerely,

CITY OF AUBURN TRAFFIC ADVISORY Starting this week and running through approximately July 14, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) construction will require lane restrictions for east-bound traffic on Auburn Way South from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and potential nighttime lane restrictions from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the replacement of a PSE gas main.

Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier swears in Richard Gould, the City’s finance director, as city administrator at Monday’s City Council meeting. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter Washington in 2011.

“I like his management style,” Guier added. “He has a real calm demeanor and he’s real easy to work with.”

Five out of seven council members voted to appoint Gould. Vic Kave and Clint Steiger were absent.

Gould has several years of experience working in municipal government, including stints as a staff accountant with the City of Shoreline and as finance director for the city of Carnation. He was the interim city manager for Carnation from June 2002 to March 2003.

Previous Auburn City Councils had big things in mind when they decided what sorts of buildings could be permitted and what sort of activities allowed in the environmental zone east of Auburn’s Environmental Park.

They had hoped the zone would be a magnet, attracting all sorts of green businesses, from solar power makers to wind generation manufacturers.

Unfortunately, the gold those earlier city leaders saw in all that green never panned out.

And here’s the killer stat: compared to the $158 million worth of development other areas have reported since 2006, the development in that area has been – zero.

Two weeks ago the City Council, recognizing the fact, changed the commercial and industrial zone rules to allow warehouse and distribution facilities in the M1 (light industrial) and EP (environmental park) zoning district.

The code as it was had prohibited warehouse distribution uses

in the EP zone and required that they have conditional use permits and land use approval in the M1 zones.

Now, warehouse distribution facilities are outright permitted in M1 instead of being conditional uses, and allowed in the EP zone if they were established prior to the imposition of the EP zone in 2012.

“I want to give the previous councils respect,” said Councilman John Holman. “It’s important to try things, and if they don’t work, to try something else.

They were trying to do something that would attract green business, but for one reason or another, it didn’t work. So let’s adjust it.”

Property owners and managers like Kim Lorenz, owner of Sound Tire LLC, had complained to the City that the green restrictions, including environmental set asides, had limited his ability to do much of anything with his property or buildings, or to market and sell them.

Given the change in zoning rules, however, not only may [ more ZONING page 7 ]

3-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy.

According to the Auburn Police Department’s affidavit of probable cause, which is the basis for the charges, “officers noted that when they entered the unit, there was an immediate and overpowering smell of human feces and rotting food coming from inside the units. … (The boy) was not wearing any clothes, was crying, had a red rash on his genitals and was covered with feces on his buttocks, lower back and in his hair. (The girl) was

wearing soiled pants and a foodstained shirt,” and was not wearing shoes or socks.

According to the affidavit, there was no water for the children, and the only food was a bag of grapes left on a bed. According to the affidavit, there were piles of vomit and feces on the floor, and police had to bathe each child twice and change the bath water twice before handing them over to Child Protective Services.

According to charging papers,

officers in Cowlitz County had arrested Dennis five days earlier on suspicion of driving on a suspended license, but she allegedly failed to tell anybody that she had left her children at home alone, “thus depriving them of food, water, the ability to toilet, and, of course, subjecting them to the inherent danger of a lack of supervision for five days.”

Dennis had four warrants out for her arrest when police took her into custody.

Finding wisdom in political ethics in a bag of Doritos Amid the dialectic contours in Olympia, they are trying to figure out if influence can be peddled with a few bags of Doritos or a $12 meal.

A panel empowered to guide elected leaders along a righteous path is struggling to draw clear ethical boundaries for lawmakers when dining and drinking with lobbyists.

State lawmakers are allowed to “accept gifts in the form of free food and beverage on infrequent occasions” if it’s related to their official duties. But existing law doesn’t define “infrequent.”

Pressure to come up with a definition arose following revelations that a handful of legislators regularly dined on lobbyists’ dime during the 2013 session.

Several of them may have done so while collecting taxpayer-funded, per diem payments, according to research compiled by reporters for a public radio station and the Associated Press.

The Legislative Ethics Board, a panel of lawmakers and legal minds, is trying to provide clarity on the rules, but members are thus far unable to agree on whether “infrequent” should be defined in terms of a specific number of meals.

Also, they are wrestling with what exactly constitutes a meal and at what point must lawmakers report them. Right now, legislators must report whenever they are treated to meals worth more than $50.

That brings us back to Tuesday’s meeting of the ethics board and a confession from Rep. Drew Hansen, D-Bainbridge Island, that a bag of Doritos can be a meal for him.

He wanted to know how many bags of Doritos a lawmaker can accept from a lobbyist before it becomes a meal that must be reported as a gift.

The answer he got from the board counsel was that it’s not crystal clear, but if he gets $50 worth all at once, it likely needs to be declared. [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

The truth is that rail transportation is the safest, most cost-efficient and environmentally sound way – by far – to move freight.

The Auburn chapter of the Vesterdalen Lodge Sons of Norway hosted its annual Nordic Fest, a celebration of all things Scandinavian, last Saturday.

Open to the public, regardless of Norwegian ancestry, the event shares Norwegian and Scandinavian heritage, food and customs.

In fact, Marv Nelson, president of the Vesterdalen Lodge, said membership in the organization isn’t restricted to those with Norse blood.

“Like our brochure says, ‘you have to be Norwegian, be married to a Norwegian, know where Norway is or have an interest in Norway,’” he said.

This year’s Nordic Fest – celebrated at Messiah Lutheran Church in Auburn – marks the first time the Auburn chapter has presented the event on a Saturday.

“It’s technically always been open to the public,” Nelson said. “But it would be on a weeknight at our regular meeting, so maybe friends of members would attend.”

“And we didn’t advertise it as much as we have this year,” said Diane Fatland, volunteer and chapter treasurer.

The event catered to all things Scandinavia, from Swedish weaving and Danish rose painting to sampling Norwegian delicacies like lefse, a traditional soft flatbread.

“I would say that this is a place people can come and learn how to do things, like rose painting or Swedish weaving,” Fatland said. “Some people are going to be taking our genealogy

Kalma Christianson, 94, and her daughter, Karen Hebert, 64, were on hand with the family’s prim kjell, a large brass pot used by Norwegian cheesemakers. Kjell means pot in Norwegian, and prim is a soft, spreadable cheese made from cow’s milk.

According to Hebert, the large pot boasts quite a history, having made the journey from Norway, through England and Canada, and finally to America.

“The family loaded up their belongings in it, and with two children in

tow, carried it all the way,” she said.

The event provided an opportunity for those unfamiliar with Scandinavian cooking to try such staples and delights as rosette cookies, aebleskiver – a Danish pancake-like dumpling – and rice pudding.

According to Nelson, the Vesterdalen Lodge hopes to make the fest an annual attraction.

Nordic Fest celebrates heritage, customs

owners like Lorenz have and operate warehouses distribution buildings and manufacturing buildings, they may also, for example, subdivide their properties and store items outside their buildings, which is critical to many businesses.

“From a property owner’s standpoint, I think the important part is if you have a building that’s multiple use, anyone who wants to invest in that building, I think, deserves that right, and that’s what we invested in when we built those buildings,” Lorenz said.

“To have anything taken from us, then, substantially reduces the marketability or the value of that building. … The value of the building, if it can’t be used for warehouse, distribution and manufacturing, is zero. “… The reason (the City has) no investment in that zone is that anyone that wanted to come in, say, with a green business, still has to receive product, assemble product, warehouse product and ship product, and that’s not been allowed,” Lorenz said. “You had pretty

much taken out the ability of green manufacturing, whether we’re talking solar or wind generation, to survive.”

“The owners are looking for certainty,” said attorney Brent Carson of the law firm of Van Ness Feldman, LLC. “There’s nothing more certain than opening up the code and finding it has a P (permitted use) next to the use.”

Councilwoman Largo Wales said that area is “just the perfect place” for warehouse, distribution and manufacturing uses.

“It’s not in the center of town, it’s on the perimeter, it’s by a freeway. …

South of Main Street, that’s where we should be consolidating this stuff.”

Holman drew a clear distinction between the environmental park, which is still in development, and the now defunct zoning.

“The Environmental Park, in my mind is a gem in our city, but when it starts infringing on the ability of my fellow citizens of Auburn to conduct a business, I do have some difficulties,” Holman said. “An empty building doesn’t do anybody any good.”

The Key to Prevention

W

hen domestic violence is in the news, it’s usually after the worst has happened: a violent assault, an injured child, a murder. So it’s no surprise that when we think about domestic violence interventions we think about police, courts, and hospitals. But what about the role each of us can play? Many of us have either experienced abuse in our own relationships or know someone who has. And often we don’t know what to do about it.

Fortunately, in this community, and in every community across Washington State, there is a local domestic violence program: a place where anyone can call—privately and at no cost—to talk with someone about concerns, options, and safety. You don’t have to be the person experiencing abuse to call. Advocates are there to talk with friends and family, neighbors and c ow o r k e r s — a ny o n e — about how to be supportive if someone turns to you for help.

But what if we didn’t have to wait until things were awful to intervene? What if we could stop this violence before it started? Domestic violence is preventable and talking with people of all ages about relationships is a key part of prevention.

No one is too young or too old to think about what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late, to talk about how we deserve to be treated.

Conversations build expectations, and talking with our loved ones lets us in on what they’re going through.

Imagine how much easier it would be for our friends to turn to us for help if talking about our relationships was something we already did.

To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv. org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800787-3224 (TTY).

Growing Northwest Brewery serves up anniversary party

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The folks at Northwest Brewery have plenty to celebrate.

The Pacific-based brewery commemorates its second anniversary with a three-band, two-food truck extravaganza from noon to 10 p.m. on Saturday.

“What we normally do is make the whole parking lot a beer garden with a stage in the middle,” CEO Greg Steed said.

Business began in Pacific five years ago as Trade Route Brewing.

[ WINERY from page 1 ] “We named it after my daughter, Devorah, she is 7,” owner Joshua Neely said.

“The long-term goal is she eventually takes over the business and sends my wife and I a check while we sit on an island somewhere.

So far, it’s on track. She said she still wants to be a wine farmer, but last year she said she wanted to be a mermaid.

I don’t know where her career path is going.”

Neely, from Susanville, Calif., moved to the Northwest in 1995.

“I was from a small town.

It was kind of dead, so I came up here for opportu-

nity,” he said.

After a brief career in the computer software and hardware industry, Neely at age 26 decided to go back to school.

“I got tired and went back to school to get my master’s in Middle Eastern studies,” he said. “My focus was in international security and nuclear proliferation.

Nine-11 had just happened, and there was an intifada (a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation) in Israel.

Every day was really interesting.”

After earning his master’s in 2008 from the University of Washington, Neely was

lager – a nod to the Seahawks – and Bourbon Barrel Local Ink, a limited edition brew available at its tap room.

“We make so many beers now that our business is so diversified that we don’t want to chop one,” Steed said.

“They’re all doing well. Our business plan is to build each different brand, rather than just umbrella-ing them under Northwest Pale Ale or Northwest IPA. That game plan is really working for us.”

Northwest also is in the works to brew Whip Ale, a pale ale produced in collaboration with Michael Wilton, lead guitarist of legend-

preparing to work with the U.S. State Department when life changed.

“I was close to working in the field, and I got married about the same time,” he said. “Nine months later, we had a little girl. That kind of delayed that. My wife didn’t want to go live in Pakistan or Yemen, so she said I had to go find something else to do.”

That something became wine making.

At the time, Neely and his family were living on a 40-acre, former dairy farm in Enumclaw.

“We went to some wineries, and I saw this happy,

Steed and Dan Anthony took over the place two years later, using their extensive experience in the beverage industry to catapult the small brewery into the big time.

The brewery found its niche in the crowded craft brew industry on the backs of brands Hoppy Bitch IPA, Joker amber ale and Mango Weizen.

The company’s offerings are available in Oregon, Idaho and Washington.

ary Northwest heavy metal band Queensrÿche.

Northwest produces more than 500 barrels a month, about 6,000 a year, Steed said.

And there is growth on the horizon. In the works are plans to move their brands into the Arizona market and possibly into North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.

Anthony and Steed intend to stay rooted in Pacific.

“We’ve got a lot of vertical room to grow. We’re working with our landlord on how to maximize what’s here,” Anthony said.

little old couple with straw hats sipping on wine, and I thought I could do that,” Neely said. “The wine wasn’t great, but they were really nice and seemed happy, so we decided to give it a shot.”

Neely continued: “I suggested going back to school for a four-year grape degree, learning about oenology and viticulture,” Neely said. “My wife said, ‘No, you’re smart enough.

Get every book you can and read about it.’ So I did.”

‘Trial by fire’ Neely helped out at Woodinville’s Hollywood Hills Vineyard to learn the ropes, and in 2010, began making his own wine “with trial by fire.”

At first, Neely made wine with grapes imported from Eastern Washington, while growing grapes at his dairy farm for future use.

As his wines improved, Neely said the limitations of his location in Enumclaw became apparent.

“It was hard to drive through traffic down there,” Neely said. “We saw this property up for sale.

We’d always driven by and thought it’d be perfect, with pretty white fences and the pastures, view of (Mount) Rainier. It went for sale, went down in price, and we jumped on it.”

Neely renovated the stable into a tasting room, open to the public and available to rent, offering local art for sale.

“I don’t have to choose the art or what to hang on the walls, and I get to help local artists,” Neely said.

In the back, he built a production warehouse where the wine is made and stored in imported French oak casks that sell for $1,500 a barrell and last three years.

About four weeks ago, he opened for business.

Neely has about three acres of Pinot Noir grapes growing at his vineyard. He hopes to plant another 12 acres by 2015.

He hopes that eventually

100 percent of his wines will be made locally from Puget Sound region grapes. Right now, about 30 percent of his wine is local.

“It’s a challenging area to grow grapes,” he said. “In Eastern Washington and California, they have the heat to ripen the grapes 99 percent of the time, unless there is some freak freeze or something. Here we have nice long, dry summers, usually three to four months, with no rain and nice temperatures, which the grapes actually like.

They don’t like the heat. The only challenge is the rainy season comes about midOctober, which is exactly when the harvest is. The grapes are most susceptible. They are the ripest, their skins are the thinnest.

They’re susceptible to rot and mildew.

“The determining factor of how good our harvest is when the rains come,” Neely added. “If it comes the third or fourth week, great. If it’s the first or second week, we’re in trouble. It’s totally a labor of love to grow grapes in the Puget Sound.”

Devorah Creek Vineyards produces 1,000 cases a year of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wine.

Although bottles are available for sale at Mosby Farms and the Auburn Wine & Caviar Co., Neely hopes people take advantage of having the vineyard in their back yard.

“We’re the small of the small,” Neely said. “We’re just a small boutique winery.

Mostly, I want to try and get people to come out here. It’s a better experience to get to talk with the wine maker about how the wine is made and see the vineyards.”

The Devorah Creek Vineyards tasting room is open to the public on Friday and Monday, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Wiemes crowned Queen of Auburn Days

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

After the home she had lived in Kent for 70 years burned down 10 years ago, Rose Wiemes moved to Auburn.

It didn’t take long for Wiemes to fall in love with her new city.

“I love everything about Auburn,” Wiemes said last Thursday.

She means it.

Wiemes made the comment on the night Auburn embraced her in turn, crowning her the 2014-2015 Queen of Auburn Days after a ceremony at the Auburn Senior Activity Center.

Wiemes’ two rivals for the throne, Ethel Craven-Sweet and Leola Beers, will serve as her court. As queen, Wiemes will promote the Aug. 8-10 Auburn Days Festival and Auburn by riding in area parades this summer.

Outgoing queen Marge Gordon placed the tiara on Wiemes’ head.

Was it tough for Gordon to give up all that regal prestige?

“Naw,” Gordon laughed, “one year of glory” and of loyal and loving subjects fawning all over her and throwing their jackets over puddles for her to cross was enough.

“Besides, everybody who’s been governor is still called the governor, so you can still address me as ‘your highness’ if you want to,” Gordon said.

“Works for me.”

“Oh, it was a tough one,” Wiemes said with a chuckle.

“But the two who were with me were as deserving as I was.”

The Jamestown, N.D., native moved to Washington with her family when she was a child and lived on Kent’s East Hill for many years. That’s where she and her late husband raised their children.

She worked at the Hyatt House for 20 years and earned her associate degree from Green River Community College. Before her retirement, Wiemes worked for the housing department of the Veterans Administration.

...Pampered Pets

Flea season is upon us While we all love the warm, sunny days of summer, we’re less thrilled with the fleas it brings to our fur babies.

Fleas are super breeders, and it’s been said that the fleas on an animal represent only 10 percent of the total flea population in the animals’ environment.

So that means beds, furniture, carpets, grass are all home to this pesky, prolific pest.

We recommend treating your animal every 30 days with either a topical or oral flea medicine.

Temperatures in Washington are so mild that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to treat your pets year round to prevent fleas.

If your pet does get fleas, in addition to treating the animal, it is advisable to treat the environment at the same time with a flea spray or bomb.

Be sure to treat between and under furniture every two weeks for one month.

Flea meds and sprays can be found at Tiki Tails Dog Salon, along with advice on how to get rid of these blood suckers.

For many dogs, the Fourth of July is a traumatic day, filled with flashes and booms.

Extremely frightened dogs may run away.

To keep pets safe, many professionals suggest the following: • Consult your veterinarian before the fireworks begin. Confirm that your pet is microchipped, and the contact info is current.

Obtain any medications that might be helpful. Be sure your pet’s ID tag is up to date, and you have recent, clear photos of Fido in the event your dog is lost.

• Exercise and feed your dog before the fireworks begin. Put Fido “to bed” early – with a new chew

• Do not take your dog outside during the fireworks.

• If your dog does need to go outside, make it a quick potty stop – on leash (yes, on leash, even in your own back yard) – and then back inside. You don’t want to have to chase a frightened dog around the yard ... and worse yet, you don’t want your pet to escape in panic.

• Do not take your dog to a public fireworks display. You may think your dog will be fine, but it only takes a moment for something traumatic to happen. You suddenly have a frightened dog who may try to escape or act aggressively out of fear.

The next morning be sure to walk your yard and pick up any paper, plastic and other debris that flew through the air and landed in your yard.

Have a safe and sane Fourth of July with your four-legged friends.

McGuffin takes over Lion wrestling

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Leaving the comforts of home to take on a new challenge can be daunting.

Sometimes, however, the prospect of a new place, new obstacles and new goals can better people.

Jay McGuffin knows this lesson first hand.

This summer McGuffin replaces Adam France as

Auburn Mountainview’s wrestling coach. McGuffin, 36, leaves Chelan High School, where he first built and for eight years sustained a heralded program.

It’s not the first time McGuffin has moved on.

Back in the mid-1990s McGuffin was a force to be reckoned with on the mat.

As a star wrestler for Cashmere High School, McGuffin captured three

state 1A titles with the Bulldogs.

Despite his dominance – a 101-1 record in three seasons – McGuffin decided to challenge himself his senior year, and left for Calvary Chapel High School, a private Christian school and national wrestling powerhouse in Costa Mesa, Calif. [ more LIONS page 16 ]

Trojan brothers get chance to play together for first time

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn High School graduates and brothers Marquis Prater and Kevin Henderson will finally get a chance to play together on the same team when they turn out for Idaho’s Lewis-Clark State College basketball team this fall.

Although the two grew up together, refining their games against each other, a three-year age difference prevented them from playing on the same team.

“He was always on varsity when I was on junior varsity,” said Prater, a 6-foot-3 forward who graduated from Auburn this year.

In his senior season, Prater helped led the Trojans to a 13-11 finish and an appearance in the district tournament.

For Henderson, a 2011 Auburn graduate who earned a basketball scholarship to the University of

Auburn brothers Marquis Prater, left, and Kevin Henderson will play for Lewis and Clark State College next season. SHAWN SKAGER, Newspaper Montana, the decision to attend and play at LewisClark comes after a year away from the game.

During his sophomore year with the Grizzlies, Henderson was stopped

by campus police and charged with a DUI for driving with a blood alcohol level over 0.02, the legal limit for drivers younger than 21. Henderson was 20 at the time.

“It was just a stupid move. Me being young and just not paying attention to what I needed to,” Henderson said. “Being older now and more wise, I know that stuff like that can get in the way of what I want to do in life, like play in Europe or even in the NBA, if I get the chance. At the end of the day, it was really just a stupid mistake.”

Henderson was suspended from the team for two games and his scholarship was withdrawn.

Faced with having to foot the cost of his education, Henderson elected to leave the program. Last year he attended Green River Community College, but in order to save his eligibility did not play basketball.

He said he jumped at the chance to play ball at Lewis-Clark in Lewiston, Idaho with his little brother and capitalize on his second chance.

“It was between a few schools, but the other schools just weren’t at the top of their league like Lewis and Clark is right now,” Henderson said.

“Plus, it’s a chance to play with my little brother.

That’s a plus.”

Prater agreed: “It’s kind of surprising. I’m more interested in getting on the court to play together because I’ve never done it before. I’ve never been on the same team as him.”

Even if both Prater and Henderson are similar in size and play the same position, their games are completely different.

“He’s more crafty and smooth going to the basket, more explosive,” Prater said. “He likes to attack. He’s faster.”

“He’s more of a spot up shooter,” Henderson said.

“He can attack if he wants to, but he’s a real good shooter.” [ more HOOPS page 16 ]

Colburn named SPSL 3A MVP REPORTER STAFF

Delene Colburn, who will play for the University of Montana next season, was recently named the SPSL 3A MVP. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

[ LIONS from page 14 ] “It was pretty likely I would have been a (Washington) state champion again, but I couldn’t pass on the opportunity,” McGuffin said.

McGuffin credited his dad, Randy McGuffin, also a wrestling coach, for his decision to leave for Southern California.

“My dad was always such an influence on me.

Instead of looking at a half-empty cup, I saw a half-full cup,” he said. “It was just an opportunity to get to the next level.”

At Calvary Chapel, McGuffin placed fifth at 135 pounds at the state championships, earning the chance to wrestle in the U.S. High School Senior Nationals, where he finished seventh.

“We set a scoring record for the state of California,” McGuffin said.

“We were ranked second in the nation by Parade Magazine, and we won state as a team that year.

We had six seniors who all went Division I.” Including McGuffin, who earned a scholarship to wrestle at the University of Oregon.

After a successful two years as a Duck, including a third-place finish in the Pac-10 meet and a berth at the NCAA tournament, McGuffin transferred to

Boise State University where he ended his wrestling career.

“I just didn’t want to compete anymore,” McGuffin said. “When you get to that level, it’s all about how hungry you are to compete. I had that hunger since I was 5 and continued to stay hungry for that competition throughout college.

But I just didn’t enjoy Boise, and I just lost my hunger at that level. And you have to be hungry all that time at that level.”

McGuffin moved on to Central Washington UniJay McGuffin versity to finish his teaching degree.

“I just decided to focus on my degree and started going up to the wrestling room to help out,” he said.

“I was 23 at the time.”

After former Wildcats coach Kevin Pine resigned, McGuffin was approached to take over the squad, his first shot at a head coaching spot.

“The team said I should apply because they all respected me,” McGuffin said. “They thought I was a great technician.”

McGuffin got the job and led the Wildcats to

Auburn Mountainview senior Delene Colburn recently was honored with the South Puget Sound League 3A Most Valuable Player award.

Colburn, a four-year varsity player, helped lead the team to a 13-11 overall record, 9-6 in league, and an appearance in the West Central III/Southwest IV District Tournament.

Normally an infielder, Colburn switched from her natural position to help Auburn Mountainview in the circle, where ninth- and 13th-place rankings in NCAA Division II the next two seasons.

Although he was successful in college, McGuffin jumped at the chance to coach at Chelan High when the job opened up.

“I had grown up here (Chelan) and had a name here,” he said. “The old

she was the Lions number one arm.

Also honored were teammates Emily Martinez (infielder) and Zoe Collins (outfielder), both chosen to the second team.

Rylie Decker was chosen as an honorable mention.

Enumclaw’s Quinn Breidenbach was chosen as league Pitcher of the Year, and Mike Hawkins from Lakes was picked Coach of the Year.

Lakes won the Sportsmanship Award.

wrestling coach was now the athletic director. And I got the job.”

For nearly a decade, McGuffin coached four individual state champions. His teams earned four top-10 1A finishes at Mat Classic and garnered five regional titles. McGuffin also earned league Coach of the Year awards.

[ HOOPS from page 15 ] Despite playing on the same team at the same school, Prater and Henderson will not get the opportunity to be roommates, with Prater setting up in an on-campus dorm and Henderson electing to stay off campus.

Henderson, who has two years of athletic eligibility left, is happy to continue playing with two former University of Montana teammates who transferred to Lewis-Clark, junior forward Nick Emerson and Newport High School graduate Jake Wiley.

Auburn coach Ryan Hansen, who coached Prater and Henderson, said it will be exciting to see them play together.

“It’ll be fun to get out and watch these two guys playing with each other,” Hansen said.

McGuffin said he’s ready for the next challenge.

“When you have a traumatic event [like the death of my father] you start reflecting on what is important in life,” McGuffin said. “When my dad was here it was nice to be here. But my wife and I had always talked about

doing something different and new.

Richard McGuffin passed away unexpectedly in 2013.

“I look at it as an opportunity to do something different and have an adventure,” he said.

“You only have one life and I want to continue to live it.”

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.

Green River, VFW Post 1741 honor student veterans at Coin Ceremony

BY JESSE JOSE For the Auburn Reporter

It’s called the “Coin Ceremony.”

Actually, it’s a pizza luncheon, held annually at Green River Community College.

It’s more than a luncheon, however, it’s a celebration in honor of student veterans

of the college and Auburn VFW Post 1741.

“At this yearly event,” said Tim Lovitt, director of Veterans Affairs at the college, “we have some bigname speakers come and talk about the importance of military service … and to give all of the student veterans, who have not yet received a GRCC Challenge

Coin, (a thank you) for all they have given.”

Guest speaker was Bill Peloza, City Councilmember and former commander of VFW Post 1741. Special guests included the following VFW Post 1741 officers: Pete Lewis, former mayor; Bob Newman, the post’s historian; John Ely, the post’s service officer; Jesse Jose, the

A EVENT produced by the Kent Lions In partnership with the

The VFW 1741 officers/members who attended the ceremony were, from left: Joe Audino, a World War II and Korean War veteran; Mike Sepal, former post vice commander; Tu Nguyen, a student veteran who served in the U.S. Army; Bob Newman, the post’s historian; Jesse Jose, the post’s surgeon; and former Auburn mayor Pete Lewis. COURTESY PHOT0, Arild Lindland post’s surgeon; Mike Sepal, the post’s former vice commander; and Joe Audino, a World War II and Korean War Navy veteran.

Dr. Eileen Ely, college president, and Dr. Deb Casey, vice president of student affairs, also spoke at the recent event.

In attendance were 30 GRCC student veterans.

Lewis presented the ceremonial coins to veterans and thanked them for their service.

“It’s a great way for us,” Lovitt said, “to honor the men and women who have served. This year we thought it would be cool to combine the VFW 1741 pizza lunch with the ceremony and bring these groups together to celebrate the partnership we have and promote goodwill in this festive event.”

Lovitt, a former Army sergeant who saw combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, said, “VFW Post 1741 supports the student veterans in several ways.”

How? “The first,” he said, “is the annual scholarships the post sponsors. Each year the post sponsors two student

veterans, soon to be three, a scholarship that helps out with their books and other school supplies. The recipients are also offered a free membership to the post, and that has been pretty successful in drawing new members out to 1741.

“The second is that the post hosts a monthly pizza lunch for the student veterans. The first Friday of every month the Post buys several pizzas, and we encourage our student veterans to come and meet with each other. I provide a large space for the meeting on the main campus, and we draw about 30 people each time,” Lovitt said. “And this raises awareness about the current events and activities, as well as encourages the students to interact with VFW Post 1741.”

A partnership The Auburn post and GRCC have been partnering for the past three years, Lovitt said. However, the partnership has been seeing the fruits of its labor for the past nine months.

“During this time,” Lovitt said, “we have seen

new student veterans step forward as post officers, an increase in the number of scholarships awarded, the creation of a SVA (Student Veterans of America) chapter and more student veteran participation in post activities.”

“And that includes these pizza lunches,” he added.

The SVA is a national nonprofit organization created to provide help and guidance to student veterans organization in higher education. The relationship between the VFW and the SVA dates back to the founding of the SVA in January 2008, and was made official on Jan. 3, 2013, with a signing of a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the SVA and the VFW. The memorandum provides opportunities for the VFW and SVA to pool their resources and help veterans and service members to overcome many challenges, find strength in camaraderie, and provide expanded programs for veterans on college campuses nationwide.
