Public Health clinic remains in limbo as talks continue BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Construction on the new Green River Community College Student Life Building has dominated a large part of the campus area next to the library. Seen in the distance is the new Trades Complex, which will house automotive and manufacturing skill courses. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter
GRCC’s new look taking shape Two projects right on schedule to open in 2015 BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com
Construction continues on Green River Community College’s two coming additions – the Stu-
dent Life Center and the Trades Complex across campus. According to Sam Ball, director of capital projects at the college, construction has been “typical,” without many delays. “The Trades project has been pretty clean because it was an undeveloped site,” Ball said.
“(The) Student Life (Center) has had more complexities because they found some things that were put in back in the ’60s when the college was first built.” Such infrastructure includes unmarked electrical, water and sewer fixtures that, because of much [ more PROJECTS page 6 ]
King County Executive Dow Constantine on Monday announced a partnership with the City of Federal Way to keep the Federal Way Public Health Center open, despite declining federal and state funding. Thanks to wage concessions by Public Health employees that will result in savings during the 2015-2016 budget, and additional funding from
the City of Federal Way, the clinic there will remain open for at least the next two years. Although there is no such deal for the Auburn clinic, one is reported to be on the table. “We are working with King County on a proposal to keep the Auburn clinic open,” said Michael Hirsch, director of administration for the City of Auburn. “We are taking the executive at his word that he [ more CENTER page 6 ]
Pacific buys more time to decide marijuana issue BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
The Pacific City Council on Monday voted to adopt the final piece of legislation to lock in place a six-month extension of an interim zoning ordinance that prohibits any marijuana businesses from opening in the city before Jan. 28, 2015.
By approving ordinance 2014-1875, the council agreed that the interim ordinance is needed to buy time to decide officially how to handle the effects of I-502, which made recreational marijuana legal in the state. The ordinance – which [ more PACIFIC page 9 ]
Her special touch is in the cards Woman finds her niche with heart-felt small business

For her day job, Charlotte Hemstock is a waitress at Auburn’s Rainbow Cafe and at the Clarion Hotel, where her radiant smile and sunny personality make her a customer favorite. But for years, on the side, the 27-year-old woman has been quietly building her own business, too.
A business so small that as of today, it literally fits into a shoe box, but for which Hemstock has big hopes. From that shoe box Hemstock produces a greeting card. She made it for a guitar player, she says, adding that the guitar’s strings make it too fragile for commercial manufacture or for sending through the mail. [ more CARDS page 9 ]

Connors steps from school board amid praise I would call reciprocal accountability … working together, not always making the right decisions but correcting it quickly and moving forward.” Connors has accepted a position as an executive secretary with the school district. The district must appoint someone within 90 days to complete Connors’ remain-
ing term or the Puget Sound Educational Service District board will step in and do it. At the expiration of Connors’ term, the appointed member may run for the position on his or her own right in November 2015. The selection process is free and open, and anyone may submit his or her name as a candidate for the position, Herren said. “We’ll present the process we go through for recruitment and announcement about the position and then the board’s process for selecting the new member at the next board meeting,” Herren said. Connors has lived in Auburn since 1997. She has three sons. In addition to the school

SCAM ALERT: Typically in heavily accented English, the shysters on the other end of the line pretend to be agents of the Internal Revenue Service, demanding payment for bogus tax liens. And if you don’t cough up the dough right away, they threaten, federal agents will come out and bust you. So if you get a call from the number 202-609-7070, the IRS advises you, don’t answer the phone. “Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call from out of the blue, but through official cor-
respondence sent through the mail,” said IRS commissioner John Koskinen. “A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment. This is not how we operate. People should hang up immediately and contact TIGTA or the IRS.” The IRS says it: Never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone Never insists that taxpayers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations
Never requests immediate payment over the telephone and won’t take enforcement action immediately after a phone conversation. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies. The IRS says it has received 90,000 complaints to date about the scam and about 1,000 people have lost an estimated $5 million from the fraud. If you get a call you believe to be a part of this scam, the IRS urges you call 1-800366-4484 to report the incident. – Robert Whale
Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee recently uploaded a “crime map” onto the City of Auburn’s website, where it is available for anybody to see. To access the site, first go to maps.auburnwa.gov/crimes, click on a particular crime in a neighborhood – for example, Lakeland Hills or Lea Hill – close in on the desired area on the map and read the crime data for a particular day. A column to the left, “crime search” allows a user to search older data. For instance, by clicking on Case Number 14-19493, a simple assault that was reported at 6:07 p.m., Sept. 21, the program takes you to the map, which shows the location on Scenic Drive Southeast, south of the Auburn BlackDiamond Road, where the assault happened. “So, if a constituent asks what’s going on in my neighborhood,” Lee told members of the City’s Municipal Services Committee Monday afternoon at City Hall, “you could direct them to that website or do it yourself and get them the information.”
The information on the website is distilled from reports put together each Friday by Auburn Police Department Crime Analyst Joe Ryan. Having assembled the crime statistics, Ryan produces a report detailing the number of arrests made that week, the number of Valley Com cad calls, the number of traffic collisions, the number of case reports on domestic violence, and more. From that, Ryan also creates the two confidential reports. For the first, Ryan mines data to identify crime trends, auto thefts and burglaries in particular neighborhoods. The information then goes into a report, that is shot out to local and regional law enforcement agencies. The second confidential report is a daily report specific to auto thefts, burglaries, commercial thefts, thefts from vehicles, etc. This information is then shared with patrol officers at their daily briefings, giving officers an update on the goings on in their patrol districts. Ryan, Lee noted, is one of two people the Auburn Police Department has trained in the use of facial recognition software.

We need them.” “I am optimistic,” said King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, “that a partnership can keep Auburn’s public health doors open.” Von Reichbauer and fellow King County Councilmember Dave Upthegrove met this week with Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus before Constantine addressed the impact of budget cuts on public health centers. Backus said recently that the City is not only looking at a partnership with King County but also at partnerships with neighboring cities and other entities to keep the clinic open.

Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, King County Councilmembers Pete von Reichbauer, middle, and King County Councilmember Dave Upthegrove meet prior to the King County Executive’s Budget Address on the impact of budget cuts on Public Health centers. COURTESY PHOTO Hirsch drew a distinction between the Federal Way clinic and the others. “Federal Way is a different facility situation than Auburn and all the other clinics, where there is a rented facility,” said Hirsch. “King County chose to vacate its owned property and move into a lease situation, which is part of the issue they are facing at the moment. We are working on some of those concerns and finding a way to keep them here. “… The county chose to go down the path of preserving the Federal Way clinic, and we have passed
a resolution that supports the clinics of South King County remaining open, of which Federal Way is one,” Hirsch said. “But the geographic barrier of West Hill to Auburn and to our residents in southeast King County make it an impossible destination, given the recent Metro cuts and the vulnerable population that the clinics serve as a majority. “The Federal Way clinic remaining open doesn’t answer the call or the need of the 11,000 who are being told at the moment that their services will end by the end of year,” Hirsch said.

The Metropolitan King County Council’s Budget and Fiscal Management Committee is directing the council’s deliberation of the proposed King County budget this week. “King County continues to face a massive budget shortfall in our general fund, which limits our ability to make wise investments that will save money in the long-run. That’s why I’m pleased the executive announced that he will lead an effort to develop a levy to make the wisest investment possible – in our kids,” said King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, Chair of the Budget and Fiscal Management Committee. “I appreciate the hard choices Executive Constantine made while developing his budget. My council colleagues and I will now begin our review, continuing the executive’s efforts to ensure our government is running as efficiently as possible.” The proposed budget introduced Monday by Constantine is King County’s first biennial budget for all county agencies. After the budget is adopted, it will be updated as needed over the two-year period.

Both projects are moving along and are where we expect them to be at this time.” “If we are able to hold to the schedule, we’re still planning to move into those new facilities next summer and have them ready for fall quarter.” The key, Ball said, will be the weather not impeding key points in construction, specifically when welding crews have to be operational. If they are delayed, that could impact the sequencing down the road. But Ball said that rain is something they anticipated when they first planned construction. He just hopes the weather stays out of the way. “Pray for rain at night, dry during the day. Do a rain dance, whatever works
for you,” he said. The new 56,000-squarefoot Student Life Center will replace the Lindbloom Student Center, which has outgrown its capacity since it was built in 1971. The new building is to feature a number of new areas, including those being moved from the Lindbloom Center. In addition to the bookstore, stage and dining area, the new building will have a computer bar, a fireside lounge, a larger fitness center and a multicultural center. The Trades Complex will allow students to be trained on modern technologybased industrial equipment, create teaching spaces that augment vocational laboratories and improve student access to programs.

engaged in flood protection plans and options affords us the opportunity to gather much needed feedback.” – Flood Control District Chair Reagan Dunn
Jennifer Knauer explains the King County Flood Control District’s plans to identify and improve the levee system along the Lower Green River at a public meeting Tuesday in Auburn. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
Valley flood protection takes SWIF-t approach Jennifer Knauer’s message at the public meeting at Auburn City Hall was simple, direct and effective — the Green River’s levee and revetment system is old, and the time to do what must be done to fix it is now. Knauer and her King County Flood Control District colleagues came to Auburn Tuesday morning to energize and learn from the public, especially homeowners and entrepreneurs who live and work along the lower Green River, with its 16-plus miles of mostly aging levees. They wanted to hear their concerns and ideas at a time when the district is working on a longterm solution. Indeed, a plan, the district’s Green River System-Wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) program, is already rolling. It is a multi-agency, two-year effort intended to produce prioritized flood protection projects and actions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working with the district on the planning process. As Knauer, the SWIF project manager, explained, the plan is complicated, ambitious and absolutely crucial for protecting the interests of many people and their livelihoods. Auburn, Kent, Tukwila and Renton are among the cities directly affected. And as the plan picks up speed, Knauer said, more people need to climb aboard. “We are working hard among many agencies to make sure we are planning for both future development and protecting the environment … and making sure that our businesses, homes, lives and property are protected,” said Reagan Dunn, King County councilmember and chair of the flood district’s board of supervisors. Dunn’s concerns are many. The aging levee system – composed mostly of levees and revetments built by farmers in the 1960s – was built to protect sparsely populated agricultural lands, rather than the present landscape of residential development and significant regional economic infrastructure.

Cost, effectiveness of education Regarding: Steve Krueger’s comments on teacher accountability (“Our schools, teachers should be accountable”, Auburn Reporter, Sept. 5): I was at age 27 assistant manager of a store that did $2 million of business each year.

Test results of these students would somehow be eliminated. To have an excellent school, you need a school like the private ones Bill Gates and President Obama send their

I graduated from Whitman College, which had all of the above characteristics. Whitman costs $48,000 a year. Whitman does have scholarships for students. An elementary school with all of the above advantages costs an estimated $15,000 a year and up. I do not believe taxpayers would be willing to pay for such a school.

[8] September 26, 2014 [ KLAAS from page 7 ] The likelihood of a widespread, damaging flood in the Green River Valley threatens an area that supports more than 100,000 jobs and generates billions of dollars in business. To date, the Corps of Engineers has strengthened sections of the Green River levees in Auburn and Kent. The recently completed Reddington Levee Setback Project is among the success stories, Knauer said. City officials now look to help Fenster Nature Park. Volunteers are needed to plant and mulch approximately 8,000 native plants at the park along the Green River – part of a larger levee setback project just completed in cooperation with the City and King County. The Oct. 11 planting project should improve salmon habitat and provide flood protection from the river. In Kent, crews are busy repairing the districtfunded, 2.7-mile BriscoeDesimone levee project, which protects portions of the cities of Kent, Tukwila and Renton from flooding. In 2009, crews repaired the Horseshoe Bend levee on the south end of Kent near South 262nd Street and Central Avenue, upgrading it to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standards. The levee protects a stretch of the valley that extends all

Public meeting Join representatives of the King County Flood Control District for a presentation about flood protection solutions being considered. The meeting is from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, at the Kent Courthouse Rotunda, 401 Fourth Ave. N. Project staff will be there to answer questions and solicit feedback. Speakers include King County Flood Control District Chair Reagan Dunn and King County Flood Control District Supervisor Pete Von Reichbauer. Please plan to arrive early at the Kent Courthouse, as you will need to go through building security screening. The entrance is on the west side of the building.
the way to Interstate 405 in Renton. Still, other levees remain weak, district officials said. “Our concerns from Auburn’s perspective are not nearly as severe as (downstream to) Kent and Renton,” said Auburn City Councilmember Wayne Osborne, who serves on the SWIF program advisory board. “However, one of our concerns is the back flow of Mill Creek and other areas … and what would be the situation in that case.” Osborne, whose home is about 300 feet from the river, said it is important to get the word out to the public, helping the district develop solutions to resolve long-standing flood protec-
tion problems. In essence, the district needs a suitable plan and a common vision. The plan would take into account many factors, such as environmental, ecological, economic and social impacts. “A lot of these levees are very, very old, and they need to be repaired, and they need to be looked at,” Osborne said. “What we are trying to do is what would be the best level of protection for the communities from Auburn downstream. That’s basically what they’re looking at because it’s completely changed – the property, the value and the economic benefits.” The board is in the process of determining alternatives for aligning the new and improved levee system, specifically in terms of the size, scope and nature of setback areas, and the river’s interaction with shorelines. The district is funding the project with a $300,000 grant from the state of Washington through Puget Sound Partnership. The district aims to finance the improvements while it seeks other revenue partners. Many agencies and industries have joined the effort.

Muckleshoots to be honored for their philanthropic efforts FOR THE REPORTER
The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Washington Chapter will honor the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe as an outstanding philanthropic organization at its Nov. 5 National Philanthropy Day luncheon. More than 1,000 donors, volunteers, leaders and other supporters of nonprofit organizations are expected to attend the luncheon at The Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle – making it one of the largest National Philanthropy Day celebrations in the nation. “It’s not often we have the opportunity to hear about the good things that are going on in our communities,” said Janet Aldrich Jacobs, president of the Association of
Fundraising Professionals Washington Chapter. “This is a day for the community to come together and be inspired by the very personal stories of people from all walks of life who work tirelessly to make the world a better place.” Since opening its Auburn casino in 1995, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has donated more than $17 million to hundreds of schools, churches, hospitals and charities throughout the state. As the tribe has become more prosperous, so has its philanthropic giving. Last year it donated time and money to nearly 250 organizations. It has been instrumental in supporting Native American students at the University of Washington, and for leading the con-
ception and building of the new “Intellectual House,” a long-house style gathering place to be opened in 2015. In 2012, following a major snowstorm, King County Executive Dow Constantine recognized the tribe for its emergency preparedness and response after numerous volunteers and staff quickly responded to a help more than 150 seniors and vulnerable people during the storm. “We’re truly grateful to the Muckleshoot Tribe for sharing the potlatch spirit that honors generosity, and giving for the common good,” said Shelley Rotondo, executive director of Northwest Harvest, which has received $105,000 from the tribe since 2009 to provide food to the poor and needy.

I was knitting and painting and dabbling, and I wasn’t too good at any of that, but I found I was really good at scrapbooking. “Honestly, the cards came about because I was too lazy to do a full scrapbook page! Because a 12-by-12 took too long, I thought, maybe if I do 5-by-7s or 4-by-6s …,” Hemstock said. In those days, whenever Hemstock finished a card, she recalled, she put it away in a box, its thera-

It contains testimony from several residents and city staff from a public hearing on Sept. 8. City Attorney Carol Morris, who provided the staff report at the public hearing, recommended the extension because the “City Council is in the middle of the process of deciding what legislation should be enacted on the subject of marijuana.” The council and the City
Planning Commission are bandying four ordinances about that would either outright ban any marijuana businesses, ban just medical marijuana businesses, or set up regulations within the city to officially license marijuana businesses. DuWayne Gratz, a resident and a member of the City Park Board, said at the public hearing that the City should not adopt the moratorium because it’s “taking up everyone’s time, and people’s livelihoods depend on it.” Four medical marijuana dispensaries are operating in the city under quasilegal status.

But one day a friend saw the cards in the box, and, having concluded that someone just might want them, suggested she sell them. “I didn’t know what to do with them because mainly they were just for myself. And then I started selling them, and I found that people wanted them, and I wanted to make them for people. Then the whole idea of selling specific cards for specific people came about,” Hemstock said. Here’s how the process works. “Someone will tell me ‘I’ve got a birthday for a friend coming up, she’s turning 16, she just got a car.’ I’ll ask things like, ‘What’s your

And I either give the customer one or show them a couple and let them choose what they feel is most like the person. “It’s not like just going to the store and getting something that reminds you of somebody; it’s you getting a card made just for that person,” Hemstock said. The average price for one of Hemstock’s handmade cards is $7. The website is cheerycherryhandmade.weebly.com/.

state law did not specifically alter municipalities’ rights to decide which businesses to grant licenses to. The case is expected to be appealed to the Washington State Supreme Court, according to Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “It’s precisely the issue the state Supreme Court is likely to provide guidance on to the state,” Ferguson told the Seattle Times.

Adam Shane Terhune passed away unexpectedly in Kent on September 14, 2014. Born September 26, 1975 to Robert and Deborah Terhune, Adam was known for his huge heart and willingness to help others in their time of need. His absence will be felt in the lives of many. Adam was a seemingly quiet presence upon your first meeting, but soon the jokes would start flowing and laughter filled the room.Those who knew Adam quickly recognized the importance of family in his life and his dedication to those he loved. He rarely missed a family gathering or a chance to help out a friend. Adam loved children and went out of his way to make them smile and laugh. Roughhousing, thoughtful presents and a good dose of teasing were part of Adam’s unique charm. Adam reserved a special place in his life for his dogs and other animals; none had ever had it so good. Adam came from a long line of homebuilders and leaves many examples of fine craftsmanship behind. He was also a skilled landscape designer, creating beautiful areas around the homes of those who requested his services. Adam enjoyed gardening on a personal level as well, and spent much of his time in pursuit of his own. His favorite pastime though, was fishing, anytime and anywhere. Adam, a beloved son, brother and father was preceded in death by his father Robert C.Terhune Jr., grandmother Camilla Terhune Dorothy, and grandfathers Robert C. Terhune Sr., and John E. Brust. He is survived by his daughter Jordan, mother Deborah Compton, stepfather George Compton, grandmother Doris Lee, brothers Robert (Tara) and Ryan (Kimberly) Terhune, Scott (Heather) and Chad Compton, sister Katie (Cameron) Cowles, nieces Tahlia, Tiffani and Macie and nephews Robert, Jack and Luke. A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 27, 1 p.m. at the home of George and Deborah Compton. 1141381

RAVENS AND TROJANS PREPARE FOR BATTLE This year’s edition of the annual Auburn Riverside versus Auburn rivalry game comes a little early, with kickoff at 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium. This season both teams come into the match-up with 0-1 South Puget Sound League 3A records, with Auburn’s overall at 1-2 and Auburn Riverside still looking for its first win with a 0-3 overall. Last season the Ravens beat the Trojans 20-7 on the way to winning a share of the SPSL North 4A with Kentwood.

Trojan girls under new management BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Even though Chance Darling, Auburn’s new girls soccer head coach, grew up as a blue and gold Trojan instead of a green and gold one, the 2000 Fife High School graduate’s Auburn roots are deep. “My mother and her whole family went to Auburn High School and have enjoyed many of our home games at, as she calls it, Troy Field,” Darling said. Although it is now officially known as Auburn Memorial Stadium, and Auburn Riverside, Auburn Mountainview and Auburn high schools share it, Darling looks to rebuild a program that has only been to the state tournament twice, one of its appearances ending in a state title in 1982-1983. “I am very excited about this opportunity at Auburn,” Darling said. Darling grew up playing soccer at various levels, including varsity prep soccer with Fife and local club teams. “I played for Fife, but had surgery on my knee during my senior year,” Darling said. “I was kind of plagued with injuries. I also played on several local premiere clubs around the area here and there.” But the coaching bug bit early, he added. “I kind of started doing coach academy stuff when I was young, and it just kind of stuck,” he said. “When I got done with school, I coached my first young team. At times it’s been a full-time job, at times it’s been for fun. At times it’a been a part-time job. I’ve coached

RACHEL CIAMPI, Newspaper everyone from eight-year-old kids to college players, boys and girls.” For the past 15 years he has coached throughout the Puget Sound region, including stints as girls head coach at White River High School, as a girls assistant at Fife and as an assistant on the girls program at Pacific Lutheran University. Darling coaches at the club level, too, currently with the Rainier Soccer Alliance in Puyallup. “I love competition, so for me, coaching is a way to still be involved in all that,” Darling said. “And obviously, I love the ability to
AUBURN RIVERSIDE RAVENS • COACH: Paul Lewis, 10th year. • LAST YEAR: 9-6-3 overall, 8-5-3 fifth in SPSL North 4A. Lost in second round of West Central District III tourney. •TOP PERFORMERS: Six returning starters. Kellie Jensen, senior, defender; Jewlie-Ann Young-Holm, senior, midfielder; Kristina Nelson, senior goalkeeper; Patricia Phithamma, sophomore, forward; Calli Millang, senior, midfielder; Izzy Creighton, junior, midfielder; Taylor Smith, freshman, defender. • OUTLOOK: Last year the Ravens snagged the last spot out of a brutal SPSL North 4A, and rode all the way to the district tourney where they fell 2-1 to Union in overtime. This year the team plays in the SPSL 3A, but don’t expect the road to be any easier. In addition to last season’s SPSL 3A champs Auburn Mountainview, Auburn Riverside has to deal with Sumner, who won the state 2A title last season. The team returns six starters, including Nelson – who had five shutouts last season and all-SPSL North 4A selections Jensen and Young-Holm. “We have a very strong midfield, we have created an average of 23 shots per game already this season,”Lewis said.“There is a lot of team speed, and the girls are determined to play an exciting brand of soccer. We feel that we should be competing for the league’s top spot, building upon our run in the playoffs last year. “Phithamma is having a breakout year after a pretty quiet freshman campaign,”he continued.“Her teammates are determined to work through and off of her tremendous runs. She and Creighton are stepping in to replace graduated second team all-leaguers.

be able to affect a kid’s life through sports. Your role often becomes more than just a coach; it’s helping kids through life.” Darling continued: “It’s been a while since I coached high school,” Darling said. “I’ve been kind of looking to get back into it but wanted to wait for the right situation.” He found out about the job through his friendship with Auburn coach John Yorke, who is also from Pacific Lutheran University.
• COACH: Cary Davidson, 10th year (100-48-13 overall record) • LAST YEAR: 17-4-0 overall, 9-1-0 first in the SPSL 3A. Lost in quarterfinals of state 3A tourney 2-1 to Bellevue. •TOP PERFORMERS: Rachel Fieser, senior, goalkeeper; Quinn Ramsay, senior, defender; Malia Brudvik, junior, defender; and Kelly Brudvik, junior, defender. • OUTLOOK:“We lost an amazing group of seniors in terms of soccer, athletic ability and attitude,”Davidson said. Among those were five now competing in college, including Madi Clarkson (soccer, University of Utah), Sophia Wagner (soccer, University of Chicago) and Viktoriya Vasina (soccer, Central Washington University). “There are certainly big shoes to fill this season,”Davidson said. Add in the injury bug, which has sidelined Elli Alfrey (ACl), Kaelyn Hanson (knee) and Emilee Greve (broken ankle) and four starters who didn’t even play on varsity last season and it could be a tough road for the Lions. Davidson said the team looks toward seniors Nicole Gaarder, Sarah Bailey and Josette Lake; junior Leanna Harris; sophomore

Darling, who has attended several colleges since graduating high school, including the University of San Diego, Seattle Pacific University and Western Governor’s University, said he hopes to earn his teaching certification this year. On the pitch, given a roster stacked with underclassmen, Darling said the definition of success has many meanings for the Trojan program this season. “(What success means)

for us at the varsity level here at Auburn is that winning is part of it,” Darling said. “It’s not all of it, but it’s a big part of it. You also want to grow a program, numbers-wise, from year to year. I think that’s success. Also, moving kids up from junior varsity to varsity year-to-year, that’s part of it, that’s successful. But at the end of the day, it’s about the kids enjoying themselves. “I think we can get top-five and go to the playoffs,” Darling said. “When we started the season, that was our goal, top-five. It’s still our goal. Do I think that’s feasible? Absolutely. We play every game to win a championship.”
