City to follow state’s lead on marijuana requirements

Body found tied to bloody clues in Auburn

BY ROBERT WHALE

rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Authorities said a body found at a Puyallup home Monday evening may be that of a man whose blood and bone fragments were discovered off Peasley Canyon Drive, just inside Auburn city limits, on Aug. 13.

Evidence suggests the body is that Zomalt of 30-yearold Brandon Zomalt of Puyallup, said Pierce County Sheriff ’s spokesman Ed Troyer.

Pierce County deputies responding to a home in the 13000 block of Military Road E. for a welfare check Monday night found a badly decomposed body inside.

“There was flooring, and carpet and items missing in the house that match what was recovered up in Auburn,” Troyer said.

Auburn’s leaders Tuesday night chose to meet the challenge of marijuana businesses in the city by adopting locally enforceable state marijuana business licensing requirements and keeping the City out of any regulatory or permitting roles.

Also, the City decided to allow the moratorium on retail sales, permitting and manufacturing of marijuana in Auburn that’s been in effect for a year to expire next Tuesday, five days after the ordinance is published.

While Tuesday’s action clears the way for two state allotted retail operations and processing and manufacturing operations to set up shop in Auburn, it was clear that City Council members and the mayor harbor misgivings about I-502. Washington voters approved the initiative in November 2012 by a comfortable margin, legalizing recreational marijuana throughout the state.

What city leaders find particularly galling is that tax revenues generated by local marijuana sales

Pacific’s long-awaited road project gets under way

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

It was the day Pacific Councilmember Clint Steiger feared might never come.

Yet this past week, dignitaries from the cities of Pacific and Sumner actually took up shovels and pitched ceremonial dirt, officially breaking ground on the Valentine Avenue Southeast/136th Avenue East project and clearing the way for construction to widen and improve the heavily-used arterial shared by both communities’ commercial sections.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Steiger said. “With these two projects – Pacific is also widening the intersecting Stewart Road – we can improve our commercial area.”

More than a decade in the works, the $12.4 million project will widen the street – a mile-anda-half two-lane road heavily used by eighteen wheelers – to three lanes, with a center turn lane.

“It’ll make it easier for people trying to get out of their places or trying to make a left hand turn,” Steiger said. “It will be a 100 percent improvement.”

The improvements are to add

“They’ll put a production meter on to record everything that comes off the roof,” Alverson said.

mediately seized control of the City’s road projects, including the Valentine/136th project and the Stewart Road improvement.

“We kept asking him about the project and would never get any response at all,” Steiger said.

“One day I decided to make some phone calls. So I called Sumner and talked to (City Engineer) Mike Dahlem down there. He suggested that I get a hold of the Mayor (David Enslow).”

That conversation with Enslow revealed the worst, Steiger said.

“I found out that … they had made up their mind to scrap the project (at their next council meeting), and they were going to vote to back out,” he said. “And they were going to sue the City (Pacific) for non performance, which would have cost about $500,000.”

Even worse was that Sun knew about the impending pull-out and possible law suit.

“We were in the dark. They had informed Cy of this, but he never told anybody,” Steiger said. “The only thing he told Sumner was ‘go ahead and try, you can’t do that,’ or some smartass-type response.

He and Mayor Enslow couldn’t communicate at all.”

$40,000, so that’s a savings of about $3,500 in sales tax,” Alverson said.

Plus, he said, Puget Sound Energy plans to install what’s called a grid tie meter. The upshot is that on the days when Sun Break produces more than it uses, for example on Mondays when the restaurant’s closed, the meter will spin backward. And that night, when the restaurant’s

not using any solar energy, Alverson said, he gets to bring that energy back in free.

“It’s a win win for everybody,” Alverson said. “Plus, I use about $900 worth of electricity every month, and I should be able to generate a good percentage on an annual basis. So my payout is about 4½ years. All this is available through residential, too. We’ll recover all the heat given off by our air conditioning units, our refrigeration units and our ice machine. So, by using solar power to run the compressors for our refrigeration system and recovering that heat for our hot water, we will eventually become almost energy neutral.”

The University of Colora-

do, he said, has been testing the panels and has discovered that they should last through an 80-year cycle.

Alverson said he had been interested in solar energy for years, but the technology that actually makes it feasible was developed only in the last three to four years, and incentives are just now coming on line.

Two months ago, Alverson sat in on seminars about solar energy at an energy fair put on by Mother Earth News at the Washington State Fairgrounds, “I was on my way,” Alverson said. “Oh, boy!”

The work was to have been done by Wednesday.

HOMEOWNERS TAKE NOTE: Cascade has set MONDAY SEPT. 15 to begin this drawdown, during which the lake level will be reduced by up to a foot a day. Residents should note their own unique conditions in their locations and make the determination when to remove their boats from the lake. While the drawdown will begin after Labor Day, some areas may become too shallow for some uses more quickly than others and homeowners should gauge accordingly.

Steiger and Jones soon got together to convince Mayor Enslow and the City of Sumner to delay abandoning the project. “(Enslow) said he would talk to his people and give us a little time to get our feet on the ground and do what we could to try and save the project,” Steiger said. “He said he would help us and make his legal people available to us.”

After parleying with Sumner’s legal staff, Steiger and Jones received advice on how to take the project out of Sun’s hands and put it in the council’s.

“As a matter of fact, they assisted us in drawing up all the necessary paperwork to do this,” Steiger said. “This took us about a month or so to get it out of the mayor’s hands.”

Once the project was again under the council’s control, Steiger said, they realized that because of Sun’s decimation of city staff, which had left the City without a public works director, Pacific simply didn’t have the manpower to oversee the multi-million dollar project.

“It is an unfunded mandate that comes from the people, but there is no additional funding,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “And just because we haven’t had a retail presence in the City of Auburn doesn’t mean we aren’t experiencing crime or additional DUIs.” At the same time, Backus lauded city officials who have worked for a year and a half on the issue.

“The City Council took a great deal of time, the planning commission took a great deal of time. But surprisingly, during the workshops and the public hearing there were no comments against, and it was very lightly attended. It is what it is,” Backus said.

By adding to the City Code the requirement that marijuana businesses comply with state regulations the ordinance becomes enforceable by the City.

Failing to meet state requirements would constitute violations under City code, even though the City would not be the licensing agency.

City Attorney Dan Heid noted that the City Council made some adjustments to the ordinance before passing it.

“The definition of state law was tweaked a little bitty bit, in terms of which state law was plugged in and the definition of cannabis,” Heid said. “The reason for that is that there are hybrids that might have fallen through the cracks if you are too specific. In that

regard, it makes you wonder about the federal laws: are they too specific?”

In Auburn, 54 percent of the voters said yes to I-502.

Eighty percent of Auburn’s 61 precincts voted yes to I-502, a mere 12 said no.

In July 2013, the state used a lottery to grant two retail recreational marijuana businesses authorization to open in Auburn along with producers and processors.

To buy the City and planning commission time to study and address potential challenges posed by recreational marijuana businesses, the City Council on Sept. 16 2013 slapped a one-year-long moratorium on the manufacturing, processing and sale of recreational marijuana within city limits.

Although the City Council presented the Planning Commission with three options, the commission soon dropped the third option from consideration because of the legal risks it entailed.

Here were those options: • Option 1: outright banning the processing, producing and sale of recreational marijuana inside City limits; • Option 2: adopting the state’s enforcement tools but not adding any of Auburn’s own; • Option 3: would have added City regulations via licensing or additional zoning regulations.

The Planning Commission hosted a public workshop in May and a public hearing in the first week of August.

Recently, it finished its work by recommending that the City Council adopt Option 2, which it did Tuesday night.

Auburn Police reported last Friday that blood found at a crime scene along Peasley Canyon Drive nearly three weeks ago belonged to Zomalt.

The Washington State Patrol crime lab conducted DNA tests on the blood found on flooring and clothing items discovered by an off-duty federal agent at the scene, near West Valley Highway.

The DNA profile was run through the State Combined DNA Index System, matching it to Zomalt’s blood.

Sun, whose 18-month stint as mayor was marked by upheaval and controversy, was removed from office. About 65 percent of residents voted to recall Sun from office before the end of his term in June 2013.

Mike Hirman, suggesting a homicide. “(The) injury was so severe that not only was there lots of blood, but portions of (the victim’s) bones were there as well,” Hirman said. “I can’t even speculate on how the injury was caused.”

Zomalt, police said, has ties to Puyallup and surrounding areas based on his criminal records.

According to records, Zomalt has a criminal history in Puyallup and Pierce County, with 11 arrests involving harassment, threats to kill, assault in the first degree, reckless driving, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and negligent driving.

Progress abounds as we welcome a new school year The start of the school year is always an exciting time of renewal and opportunity.

As we begin the 2014-2015 school year, the Auburn School District continues an ambitious program for improving student learning through the ASD Strategic Plan 2.0, which lays out a plan for increased student achievement, family engagement and resource alignment for career and college success for all students.

The district is committed to the growth of your student as learner and citizen. Last year, we provided more than two million parent communications in multiple languages using electronic messaging, family access, e-news, websites and social media.

With the successful passage of the Technology Capital Levy and the progress of a new Auburn High Phase I, as well as continued completion of the Capital Improvement Levy, we are able to provide our students with world-class learning systems and facilities.

We have reason to celebrate the success of student learning. Over the last four years, our schools have received 52 Washington Achievement Awards recognizing the top 10 percent in performance and progress in the state. This past year, all three of our comprehensive high schools received Washington State Academic Achievement Awards. The number of students in Advanced Placement courses increased from 2,500 to 4,800 during the last two years. More than 5,000 students took the Readi-Step, Pre-SAT and SAT exams last year in preparation for college opportunities.

The district also was recognized by the CCER Road Map Project for the “Collective Impact Award” for building a system to close gaps and support young learners. With the implementation of full-day kindergarten at every elementary school, we are able to [ more HERREN page 6 ]

school system.

Teachers do not want to be evaluated on how well they are meeting the objectives of their job – namely the success of educating the children with whom they work. They argue that it’s not fair to them to apply the same standard to their work that you and I have applied to us. They say that there too many other factors … dysfunctional homes, economic disparity, the allure of electronic entertainment that affect a child’s ability to learn.

We all can say the same thing about our job performances, I suppose, because we all have full lives that put demands on us that might impair or work performance. Many of us have marital discord, health issues, or the demands of an aging parent that impact our job productivity.

But our bosses continue to evaluate our effectiveness nevertheless … and so they should. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

mercials as part of an “education” campaign dubbed “Background Checks Make A Difference.” The effort is set to end Friday.

The ads stress the value of background checks for enhancing public safety but never mention the ballot measure that its political self is promoting. What’s nice about this campaign finance nuance is it also allows the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep secret the source of its money.

Center spokeswoman Molly Boyajian noted in an email that the [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] nonprofit has received “gifts from local individuals, partner organizations, foundations, and our national partners.”

One of those partners is Everytown for Gun Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, the super rich ex-mayor of New York. He’s pledged to spend boatloads of money in every corner of the country to help enact tougher gun control laws and elect pro-gun control lawmakers. I-594 fits his investment profile perfectly.

While billionaires soak up attention for their prodigious checks, where is the National Rifle Association in all of this?

Is it possible the NRA, the established pulpit of the gun rights movement, will keep its money to itself in this fight?

The NRA does have a

political action committee to oppose I-594. But its coffers are pretty much empty. A significant infusion would be needed if the venerable organization intends to deliver a serious counterpunch.

The NRA did contribute $25,000 to its PAC in July, then spent most of it on staff, probably to have them survey the landscape. They couldn’t have liked what they discovered.

An Elway Poll in July found 70 percent of voters – many of them in the voterich Pugetopolis – “inclined” to back Initiative 594. Three months earlier, in April, an Elway Poll found the level of support at 72 percent.

Things could turn quickly.

They did in 1995 when voters initially embraced a gun control-type measure then rejected it. Of late the state’s electorate has been in the mood for reshaping society in ways the government won’t. They’ve privatized

Last year, voters seemed primed to pass a food-labeling initiative until opponents shelled out $22 million to successfully defeat it.

The NRA can’t fork out that kind of money, nor must it. Neither can it hope to succeed on its reputation alone.

NRA leaders must decide whether it is worth trying to convince voters in one state in the far corner of the country to defeat an initiative, or focus on keeping members of Congress from changing the background check law for the nation. The next few days will be very telling.

www.auburn-reporter.com Only teachers and the system they help to create do not take seriously the evaluation of job performance.

Certainly, the teacher unions carry too much clout in the question of evaluations, but the school districts share the blame. Administrators – many of them former teachers themselves – do little to support the public’s demand for accountability in school and teacher job performance.

Who among us would not embrace the chance to set and evaluate our own job performance standards? It’s a little like telling a child she can set her own bed time, without the fear of a price to be paid for the exhaustion they would feel the next day after getting insufficient rest.

School leaders are putting a lot of energy and paid time – paid for by us, of course – into spin control over the “failed school” letters that will soon be arriving at our homes. They want us to understand that their schools, despite failing to meet measurable federal standards, are really not failing.

Yes, they are.

Teaching, like child rearing, is a really hard job. I know: we’ve had three kids, all educated in public schools. We know that teachers are fairly well paid, have always enjoyed superior benefits, and have job security. Yet they insist the key to solving the school failure problem is to simply give them more money.

Let’s try a new approach.

Clearly spell out for every teacher the goal of their job for the year.

Just like the salesman who has to meet his quota or the factory worker who needs to produce a minimum number of widgets, teachers need to have a goal. They need to educate the 30 or so kids before them every day, and help them become productive and

responsible adults.

If there are outside influences that make the job harder, that can be noted. They can be excused, perhaps, if the schools have taken aggressive steps – like expelling bullies and ordering underperforming kids into mandatory after-school study halls – to solve the problems.

Until schools, districts and teachers embrace the idea that, like it or not, they will be held accountable for how well they do their work, I will never vote for another school levy or bond as long as I live.

Educators are no better than the rest of us. They need to be ready to be evaluated on how well they do their jobs, and then required to meet reasonable standards that are set for them by their employer – you and me.

Thanksgiving holiday. His story was complete fabrication as his age, unit and supposed combat experience didn’t add up. Turns out he was an alcoholic who didn’t follow the Salvation Army’s rules about no drinking in their shelter.

But the best NGO relief agency on the planet had been smeared and no apology from the paper was forthcoming.

I gave the Reporter several sites and books written about what is now codified in federal law as “Stolen Valor.” There is no excuse for them not doing what is mandatory for any newspaper, no matter the size of the staff.

Especially when they were offered assistance.

The Reporter needs to apologize to its readers in general and veterans specifically for not doing even the most basic of story verification. Their recent article admitting to being duped is not enough.

It’s another cowardly deflection of responsibility for what is in their publication.

If you’re going to print stories that try to honor veterans I know, your readers would be thrilled.

It’s clear that several organizations got the history of John Alberti wrong and it’s because we want to believe the stories of battlefield glory, and honor “forgotten” veterans.

Unfortunately there are thousands of these phonies out there wearing medals and claiming honors they never earned.

There is no question the American Legion and Tahoma National Cemetery should have

spent five minutes online looking up this obviously flawed narrative.

Any thinking veteran would have known the history didn’t match the “facts” on Alberti’s DD214.

The document issued to all members of the service when they end their enlistment. The wild claims of a Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star Medal and five (yep … count ‘em … five) Purple Hearts before the war in Vietnam actually started should have pegged the bovine scat meter.

I read two lines of that story and knew it was false. It seems so did hundreds of other veterans from the online posts. It should have raised the suspicions of any first-year journalism student, too.

Especially someone associated with the Auburn Reporter, which has been burned at least twice before by phony stories of long ago valor and present-day PTSD. The staff at the Reporter was educated on how to spot this phenomena on more than one occasion and even offered help in vetting stories like this. Previously, they were fooled by a phony who wrote a book about his “secret” exploits after being recruited by the CIA to be a sniper. The CIA apparently recruits from the ranks of disgruntled E-1 aircraft mechanics because that’s what this fellas real DD-214 showed he was.

He claimed to have been abused by his superiors and tortured by those same people. That story didn’t pass the smell test, either.

He had been outed by an organization a few years earlier, and five minutes of research would have shown that.

In another story, the Reporter did a feature on a supposed combat veteran (suffering from PTSD of course) who claimed he had been kicked out of a Salvation Army shelter during the

school and was proficient in English. Since her parents didn’t have the opportunity to attend school, my friend was their primary resource.

I really don’t like the idea of a mandatory official language. But unless families are allowed to attend classrooms with their children, it seems a difficult concept to address.

I often wonder if I had to go to a non-English-speaking country, for whatever reason, got off the plane and was expected to know how to communicate to others and it was mandatory. If their official language was totally new to me, how I would survive?

I work as a temporary worker during elections, and most of the silliness done to ballots is from people who were lucky enough to be born and raised here. I would much rather that people who may have a primary language different than ours but are grateful for the opportunity to vote, be able to understand fully what they are voting on with whatever is helpful to them.

Lions receive a ‘pot of gold’

BY MARJORIE GORDON For the Auburn Reporter

What does a “pot of gold” look like?

To the hungry, it would be filled with food. To the thirsty, it would overflow with clean water. To the vision impaired, it would be filled with eyeglasses.

The Auburn Noon Lions Club received a “pot of gold” at its Aug. 26 meeting – 15 cardboard boxes filled with 2,500 pairs of eyeglasses.

King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer delivered the large collection in a pickup truck and presented them to King Lion Ed Butler and members.

When he heard about the large number of unclaimed eyeglasses lost on Metro buses, von Reichbauer asked what became of them.

“When I was first elected to the County Council, I

[ PROJECT from page 2 ] only way they would work with us anymore was if we turned around and had the project headed by Sumner,” Steiger said. “The Council agreed, so that’s what happened.”

“It was just an incredible combination of people who worked very, very fast to get this done,” he said. “Up until the end, Mayor Enslow was calling us up every day asking, ‘are you sure you’re going to be able to do this?’

He was as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. They were looking at losing $500,000.”

Now in the hands of Sumner, nearly two years later the project is underway.

Costs are expected to exceed $20 million all told, once right-of-way acquisitions and design work are factored in, according to Sumner Assistant Public Works Director Ted Hill, who is in charge of

asked Metro what happened to the unclaimed eye glasses that are often left behind on their buses,” von Reichbauer said. “I was told that the unclaimed glasses were thrown away.

Since then I have collected thousands of prescription and sunglasses for donation to South King County organizations, helping families in need.”

Learning they are discarded annually, he determined to rescue and recycle them. He knew the Lions Clubs are equipped to process and distribute them to the needy locally and worldwide.

Years ago, Helen Keller challenged the Lions Club International to become “Knights for the Blind.” This became the primary focus of one of the world’s largest service clubs.

The gift of 2,500 pairs of glasses was immediately transferred to the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, the project.

“We’ve got funding sources from all over,” Hill said. “Both of us have local improvement districts set up. We have Federal highway money, we’ve got Ecology money. There is state Department of Commerce money. There are about six or seven sources, let alone our own utility money that’s going into from both jurisdictions. Knowing I’m charging the right thing to the right spot is going to be the big hurdle at this point.”

Hill urged commuters and anyone who uses the road to be patient.

“Any construction takes time and patience,” Hill said.

For Steiger, it’s just a joy to see the construction begin.

“I’m glad we saved this,” he said. “I was lucky – it wasn’t because I’m so intelligent this happened.”

The Lions Club is grateful for the compassionate stewardship of von Reichbauer, and extends its thanks to the anonymous donors.

The Auburn Noon Lions and King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, middle, have teamed up to ensure that those who cannot afford costly prescription lenses can still have a quality pair of eye glasses.

LIONS TURN TO STOUT DEFENSE Strong trio leading the way this season for Auburn Mountainview

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Ever since fourth-year coach Jared Gervais took over the Auburn Mountainview football program, the Lions have been known for their high-powered, spread offense.

Loaded with talented wide receivers and strong-armed quarterbacks, the Lions typically looked to put up as many points as possible, with the defense just hoping to bend, not break.

This year there is a change in the air with the Lions’ defensive unit.

On offense, Auburn Mountainview returns just four starters, including receiver Ryan Lacy and quarterback Gresch Jensen.

On defense, however, the Lions bristle, with nine returners from a squad that got better and better as the season advanced. At the top of the list of returners is the team’s trio of linebackers – seniors Aeron Watson and Jason Sele, and junior Antonio Corea.

SEATTLE IMPACT FC SCHEDULES PLAYER TRYOUTS, DANCE TEAM AUDITIONS

Seattle Impact FC – a new indoor pro soccer franchise – is scouting for talent.

The club hosts player and dance team tryouts at the ShoWare Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 6-7.

Interested persons may obtain tryout/audition information on the team website at SeattleImpactFC.com.

Impact FC will play all 10 home games at the ShoWare Center, beginning with a Nov. 8 date with the 14-time indoor champion San Diego Sockers.

“We improved a lot at the end of last season, so this defense is pretty tough,” Gervais said. “It took them a little while to figure it out last year, but hopefully we're back this season where we left off.”

And it all starts with Watson, Corea and Sele.

“Aeron is our starting middle linebacker and is the heart and soul of our team,” Gervais said. “He calls the plays on defense and breaks the huddle.

Auburn Mountainview is in good hands on defense this season behind the leadership of, He's undersized (5from left: Antonio Corea, junior; Jason Sele, senior; and Aeron Watson, senior.

The type of kid that if gave up a whopping 217 points, heavy on defense this year,” you could put him in a 6-4 body, including blowout losses to 4A Gervais said. “Obviously we’ve Camas (69-24) and SPSL 3A rival it’d be awesome. got our three starting linebackers “Jason is just an amazing athEnumclaw (55-28). back.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ LIONS from page 12 ] “Antonio is a junior, started last year as a sophomore. He came in our second game and just started doing a great job.”

As for Watson, a senior, he welcomes the leadership role.

“We have to come out heavy everyday,” Watson said. “It used to be the offense that set the tone; this year it's the defense at practices. We just have to come out and get everybody pumped. I've always been the team vocal leader, so I feel it just falls right into what I do.”

On the field, the Lions rely on speed to make plays.

“We're very aggressive, and we all fly to the ball,” Watson said. “We all like to get in on the action.

Our weakness would be our reads. They're not the best right now, but that comes with real game experience.”

Sele, also a senior, said he enjoys the added attention and responsibility as well.

“I like it way better now because everybody was always looking down at us as a defense,” he said.

“They were always saying, 'Who is this school?

They've done nothing.'

But now they know what

we can do because of the end of last year. But this year, we're always together. It's a chemistry thing. We work together well. If we're off, if one player falls down, another is going to pick them up.

It's a family, togetherness.”

Corea added: “It seems like the past couple years the team was a little more offensive. But this year we've got a little more defensive mind set.

The past couple of years people would run over us and think of us as one of the bottom defenses. This year we've got some good guys on varsity. All the summer conditioning and passing leagues have got us ready for the season and got our mindset.

Everyone is on the same page. Our defense has improved so much over last year.”

This season the Lions play in a revamped SPSL 3A, with Sumner coming up from 2A, and Auburn and Auburn Riverside dropping down from 4A. “We're just really excited to get to play Auburn and Auburn Riverside, to have the rivalries going on in the city again,” Gervais said. more story online… auburn-reporter.com

AUBURN FOOTBALL GLANCES AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW LIONS Coach: Jared Gervais, fourth year Last year: Fifth in the South Puget Sound League 3A with a 2-3 record, 3-7 overall with a loss in the district playoffs.

Type of offense: spread Top returners: Gresch Jensen, junior, QB, 6-2/195; Ryan Lacey, junior, WR, 6-3, 170; Kaleb Bailey, senior, OL, 5-8/205; and Trevor Jensen, senior, OL, 6-3/225.

Type of defense: 3-3 stack.

Top returners: Aeron Watson, senior, MLB, 5-8/195; Jason Sele, senior, OLB, 6-2/215; Antonio Corea, junior, OLB, 5-9, 210; Caleb Arciaga, junior, DL, 5-11/260; Trevor Jensen, senior, DE, 6-3/225; Abenego Kondiano, senior, DB, 5-8/165; Nate Hardin, senior, DB, 5-7/175; Gresch Jensen, junior, DB, 6-2/195; and Vaughn Daggs, junior, DB, 5-9/160.

Impact newcomers: Gavin Robertson, junior, WR/ FS, 6-3/185; Ki’Jan Weisinger, junior, WR, 5-10/170; and Bitner Wilson, sophomore, RB/LB, 5-8/215 Outlook: Usually the Lions come into the season with an offense-first mentality. This year’s emphasis has shifted to the defensive side of the ball. With nine returners, led by an experienced core of linebackers in Watson, Sele and Corea, the undersized Lions will use speed in their 3-3 stack defensive to contain the high-flying spread offenses prevalent in the new SPSL 3A. They’ll have their hands full with teams like Peninsula and Lakes.

Offensively, the team boasts an experienced signal caller in Gresch Jensen (24 passing TDs in 2013).

Although he won’t many experienced targets, the cupboard is not bare with Lacey and newcomers Robertson and Wiesinger. Offensive lineman Bailey and Trevor Jensen will keep their quarterback safe and clear running lanes for the team’s one-two punch of Wilson and Harding.

Key game: The Lions play rival Enumclaw in the last game of the regular season on Oct. 31. Expect a bit of nastiness. These two teams don’t like each other much. The Lions play Auburn Riverside on Oct. 3 and Auburn on Oct. 24.

AUBURN RIVERSIDE RAVENS Coach: Bryant Thomas, second year Last year: First in the South Puget Sound League 4A with a 7-1 record, 7-3 overall with a loss in the district playoffs.

Type of offense: Pistol Option Top returners: Gavin Hettinger, senior, WR, 5-11/185; Cole Huckaby, senior, RB, 5-11/190; John Coon, senior, OL, 6-2/250; Kyle Sutrick, junior, QB, 6-2/170; Dennis Beard, junior, WR, 6-2/170; and James Baldwin, junior, RB, 5-10/210.

Type of defense: 3-3 stack.

Top returners: Hettinger, senior, DB, 5-11/185; Vinny Le, senior, LB, 5-10/205; Baldwin, senior, LB, 5-10/210; and Gerardo Cisneros, senior, LB, 5-10/200.

Outlook: Last year head coach Bryant Thomas inspired a talented Raven team to overcome any of its previous notions about underachieving, with the team knocking off rival Auburn and taking home a piece of the SPSL North 4A title (with Kentwood).

Many of last year’s leaders on offense are gone, including quarterback Kevin Thomson, standout receiver Drew Wallen and the bulk of the team’s offensive line. This year the team looks to junior Kyle Sutrick to drive its fluid pistol option. He’ll be aided by Gavin Hettinger who had 15 catches for 257 yards and two TDs last year, despite playing in only five games because of an injury. The Ravens plan to use Hettinger on the ground. Last season he had seven rushes for 70 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The bulk of the team’s running load should rest on the shoulders of Cole Huckaby, who won second-team All-SPSL North 4A honors with 859 yards and six TDs on the ground.

The real key to the team’s offensive success is on the O-line, where the team looks to its sole returner, John Coon, to set the tone.

Defensively, the Ravens are engineered to stop the spread offense run by the bulk of the teams in the new SPSL 3A. Hettinger, despite his time sidelined last year, still had three interceptions. Linebacker Vinny Le had 32 tackles, with five sacks and three interceptions last year. James Baldwin will slide into a linebacker slot from corner back. Again, the key will be finding the beef to stop the run and pressure the QB on the defensive line.

Successful Communication Tips & Strategies DEtoDCommunicate with Someone Affected by Memory Loss TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2:00 PM

Key game: The Auburn Riverside versus Auburn game takes place early this season, with the Ravens hosting the Trojans on Sept. 26. The Ravens and the Lions meet for the first time on Oct. 3.

AUBURN TROJANS Coach: Gordon Elliott, 13th year Last year: Third in the South Puget Sound League North 4A with a 5-3 record, 6-4 overall.

Type of offense: Jet Sweep Top returners: Patrick O’Dell, senior, FB, 6-0/190; Demetreus Taua, junior, OL, 5-10/255; Mario Luevano, senior, OL, 5-8/250; Jacob Sanow, senior, OL, 5-10/240; and Payton Polly, senior, OL, 5-10/275.

Type of defense: 3-3 Top returners: Justin Ioimo, junior, DB, 6-2/200; Sam Lindsey, senior, LB, 5-10/200; Dillon O’Grady, junior, LB, 5-9/210; and Demetreus Taua, junior, DL, 5-10/255 Impact newcomers: Malik Williams, junior, RB/DB, 5-8/160; and Jacob Apodaca, senior, DL, 5-11/272.

Outlook: In a league filled with teams running the high-powered spread offense, the Trojans are an anomaly. For years Auburn has relied on the misdirection and multiple ball carriers of the Jet Sweep, leaving defenders to guess who’ll have the ball and where they’ll come from. Pounding the ball down defenders throats is what Auburn does best. Don’t expect any different this season. The team returns the bulk of its offensive line from last season, with Taua, Luevano, Sanow and Polly looking to clear the way for fullback O’Dell and halfback Williams. Don’t expect this team to take to the air often.

Defensively, the Trojans will have to contend with the prevalent spread offensive, but traditionally the team has had the push up front and a core of talented D-backs to deal with this. This season looks no different. Couple in an aggressive linebacking corps led by returners Lindsay and O’Grady, and the Trojans look to have the pieces to slow down the new SPSL 3A’s high-powered passing attacks.

Key game: Auburn gets an early test when it hosts the defending SPSL 3A champs from Peninsula (8-4 last season) on Sept. 19. The big rivalry games against Auburn Mountainview and Auburn Riverside are Oct. 24 and Sept. 26, respectively.

each month.

Participating folks can choose from a variety of food items – bread, milk, eggs, meat, fresh produce, canned and dried products, and cereals – according to their needs, based on the number of people in the family.

About a dozen smiling volunteers of all ages line

up under canopies, to give out quality food.

“All the food items were bought this morning at the market. They are fresh,” said Ken Shou, a member of FOL board. He is busy putting gallons of milk on the table. No old, outdated, stale, or bargain products are allowed.

The atmosphere is good.

A lot of greetings, smiles and hugs. There are several volunteers at the end of the line, including a couple of pastors who pray for the families.

“Every month we serve over 450 people from 100 families,” said Paul Eun, CEO of FOL. “We are open to everyone. ... You need to register so that we can figure out how much grocery shopping we have to do for that day. We don’t keep food in the pantry.”

Most of the people in waiting line are pre-registered this way. There are about half a dozen families who did not register, but they end up getting their share by waiting at the end

of the line.

“They are such a blessing to me and my family,” a lady carrying two bags of grocery said. “I come here every time. I brought my aunt’s family today.”

The process takes about an hour.

“We are pretty efficient from two years of experience. We don’t want folks to wait too long in the line,” said Steve Kim, a volunteer and board member of FOL. FOL recently started a school in Uganda to equip people to take care of themselves. It is a big project.

“But this grocery distribution in our neighborhood is the first activity we started as an organization.

We will always be here,” Eun said.

FOL’s door is open for those who want to volunteer.

Cash donations are always needed. Grocery vendors are welcome to donate their products.

To register for next month’s distribution, visit www.folfoundation.com or call 253-394-6372.

The parking lots of Auburn Skate Connection, 1825 Howard Road, and Rite Aid, 2131 SW 336th St., Federal Way, are distribution sites.
