Substitute shortage School districts scramble to fill the gaps, and empty classrooms

BY ROBERT WHALE AND ROSS COYLE Reporter newspapers

As the economy continues its upswing, school districts in South King County are seeing a decline in substitute teachers.

Since the beginning of 2014, the Kent

School District has managed to fill an average of 78 percent of its needs for substitute slots, according to district spokesman Chris Loftis. According to a Northwood Middle School teacher in Kent, who spoke about the issue anonymously, that number may be even smaller.

On any given day the Auburn and Kent school districts may each need as many as 300

City puts stop to red light photo cameras

Ron Claudon, president of Valley Buick GMC & RV in Auburn, is being honored for his work in the industry and for his contributions to the community.

They’ve been keeping an eye on key Auburn intersections, rain or shine, ever since June of 2006, clicking photos, making short video clips of red-light runners.

For violators, there were fines, even court appearances.

Later, the City added cameras to patrol speeds in school zones.

Many praised the red light photo enforcement system, many loathed it, deriding it as government overreach.

But the marked drop every year in the number of infractions that were being issued ever since the cameras went live, that the system was no longer paying for itself, and the message it sent to out-of-town visitors soured City leaders on its Arizona-based vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems, and as it turns out, the system itself.

By a 4-3 vote, the Auburn City Council on Monday said no to contracting with another vendor, GATSO, Inc. of Maine, which would have saved the City $100 a month per camera and offered extra features, including license plate recognition.

By so voting, and with no plans to re-up with Redflex, the vote effectively ends the eight-year-old red-light [ more CAMERAS page 8 ]

the years, and the efforts of Crockett and his partners, horse racing has struggled in an increasingly difficult state and national environment.

But Fraser said attendance was up more than 6 percent last season. The track, he said, has worked hard to market young families and different demographics in ways the Thoroughbred racing industry hasn’t approached before.

Crockett, 75, a millionaire businessman, has been the primary person responsible for keeping the Thoroughbred racing industry afloat despite hard economic times. Behind Crockett, Emerald Downs opened in June 1996, resurrecting Thoroughbred racing in Western Washington about four years after the Longacres track shut down, ending a six-decade tradition.

King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, who represents Auburn on the County Council, praised Crockett for his work and leadership.

“Ron Crockett not only saved the horse racing industry 20 years ago but he also saved thousands of family wage jobs for people working at the track, as well as farmers producing the hay and feed for horses,” von Reichbauer said in a statement released Nov. 13.

“There should be a statue of Ron Crockett at Emerald Downs commemorating his risk and commitment to save the horse racing industry in Washington state.”

Fraser said Crockett will remain a big part of Emerald Downs as the track makes the ownership transition.

“Ron has great expertise and knowledge,” Fraser said. “Having him still around and on board helping with the decisions is a benefit for both the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the success of Thoroughbred racing in the Northwest.

“He has no plans on slowing down, trust me.

He has no plans of walking away,” Fraser said.

Auburn Police arrest caregiver for alleged sexual abuse at adult family home

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Police arrested the owner of an adult family home on Nov. 13 for alleged sexual abuse of an 83-year-old resident.

Having responded to AA Adult Family Home at 2705 Forest Ridge Drive SE at 7:20 p.m. upon the complaint of the elderly woman’s family, officers began an investigation that led to the 67-year-old caregiver’s arrest and his subsequent booking into the SCORE jail for investigation of sexual assault.

The man was later idenHappy Thanksgiving!

tified as Laszlo Molnar, of Auburn.

“The victim in this case has either Alzheimer’s or dementia, so her communication is very limited,” Auburn Police Cmdr. Mark Callier said last Friday.

“We’re not sure if she was able to communicate what was happening, or if the family just felt that something was wrong. But the family placed a hidden camera in the victim’s room and then caught the suspect’s actions on video.

Once the family saw that, they immediately called police, and police viewed it and went on and made the arrest.”

“He (Molnar) was booked for rape in the second degree, but of course that’s just the investigation charge. Obviously, the investigation is ongoing, and once official charges are filed, more charges could be added,” Callier said.

Police removed 11 other elderly residents from the home and ambulances transported them to area hospitals, where they will be until arrangements can be made for their future care.

“The suspect confirmed to detectives what was on the video,” Callier said. “Whether he’s completely forthcoming or not we don’t know 100 percent. As of right now, we only have the one victim.”

A change in leadership looms for followers of Thoroughbred and motorsports racing.

New ownership is coming soon to Emerald Downs, as the Auburn racetrack prepares for its 20th season next April, its first meet without Ron Crockett at the helm.

The track’s landlord, the Muckleshoot Tribe, will take control once the sale becomes official in the next few months.

Change also is on the horizon for Pacific Raceways, the historic multi-track facility between Auburn and Kent. The Fiorito family put the 320-acre motorsports venue up for sale in September, with the intention that a racing savvy soul would buy and take the track to the next level.

At Emerald Downs, the transition should be smooth. The tribe – as owners – should be a good fit.

Despite the anxiety of any change at the top, life will go on for the thousands of resilient people who work in the state’s horse racing industry.

In retrospect, the industry survived the closing of storied Longacres, waited four years for the emergence of Emerald Downs and overcame the effects of the Deep Recession.

Despite all that, the track remains relevant in a crowded market competing for the entertainment dollar.

“The mood is very good. People are happy,” said Bob Fraser, vice president of operations at Emerald Downs, after meeting with managers and employees last week when the sale was announced. “As far as the transition … it only makes sense the landlord takes over operations. They are already in the gaming industry. They are strong in economic power in South King County, so this acquisition makes a lot of sense in many different levels.” [ more KLAAS page 6 ]

The forecast for Emerald Downs appears much clearer than Pacific Raceways.

Crockett has built a first-class operation. But at 75, and having spent considerable time and money to maintain the sport he loves, Crockett simply wants to step aside and enjoy the trackside view. He wants others to give it a shot.

Intensely competitive, Crockett will remain at the track, no doubt with a few good horses in his stable.

Not everyone has supported Crockett’s ways, but the millionaire businessman has been the primary personality behind the survival of Thoroughbred racing as we know it here.

We should be thankful for his many contributions.

The tribe, meanwhile, should be commended for its support.

The Muckleshoots have owned the land under Emerald Downs since 2002 and have invested more than $11 million in purse enhancements at the track to stimulate the racing industry.

But the track has to settle its debt at some point and turn a profit. Business is down, necessitating a new approach.

The tribe intends to study the track’s performance and make improvements as staff continues to market to young families and the next generation of fans. Attendance was up 6 percent last season, track officials said, but the challenge remains to gener-

ate more revenue streams.

Slot machines, more concerts at the track? Perhaps. The tribe, a sovereign nation, isn’t revealing its hand, but all options are on the table as they pursue state sales-tax exemption status on revenue gaming.

Thoroughbred racing will stick around, and the tribe will make it work – just as it has with a popular casino and amphitheater on the plateau.

The industry must resolve other problems – breeding and building Thoroughbred racing populations. Horse numbers are down nationally as tracks compete to fill race cards.

Pacific Raceways also has its share of challenges. Wanting to expand within the boundaries of its campus, it has met resistance from bordering residential neighborhoods and environmentalists.

For a family passionate about racing, it has been a tough fight, and one requiring deep, deep pockets. Like Crockett, the Fiorito family has taken it as far as it can.

There are few, if any, Bruton Smiths around. The billionaire promoter and NASCAR track owner has built a successful empire.

Finding the right successor is crucial to the many generations of families and racers who call the track home. Pacific Raceways is the state’s fifth largest outdoor spectator venue, offering a road course, a drag strip, a motocross track, a go-karting center and

22,500 permanent seats.

“My family has held this asset and done an admirable job of maintaining it at a club level, and we’ve worked very well with King County to title the place and get it ready for commercial development, but we simply don’t have the resources to develop this property,” said Jason Fiorito, track president and owner. “We’ve teed it up very well for someone to come in and take over. After 54 years of ownership, we recognize that we have taken the project as far as we could.”

The track is trying to come up with a list of local, national, and international prospects. No asking price has been posted.

The property is zoned industrial and has legislation that will allow the commercial development of a certain portion of the racetrack surrounding real estate. The property has secured King County legislation and a master planned development that calls for 1.2 million square feet of commercial space for technology-based and racing related industry.

It has appeal. Now it’s a matter of time to find the right buyer willing to improve the track and appease those who share its borders. A compromise can and must be reached.

Without a big commitment from the track’s next owner, the region stands to lose a valuable motorsports venue and its ties to many sanctioning bodies, including the lucrative NHRA.

[ BRUNELL from page 5 ] According to the Christian Science Monitor, test scores and graduation rates have climbed steadily in New Orleans. And while there are fewer public school students than before the storm – 43,000, down from 65,000 – the demographics are similar: 90 percent African-American (compared with 94 percent pre-Katrina) and 82 percent low-income (up from 77 percent).

Not all of RSD’s charter schools were successful. RSD shut down or did not renew the contracts of six charter schools that failed to meet standards, proving low performing charter schools are dealt with swiftly.

Charter schools are independent public schools that are free to be more innovative but are held strictly accountable for improved student achievement. Charter schools let parents “vote with their feet,” creating a market-based approach that promotes competition among public schools pushing them to improve.

Nationwide, only about 5 percent of public school students attend charter schools. But in Detroit, 51 percent attended charters in 2012-13, and in Washington, D.C., 43 percent, reports the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.

Another four cities topped 30 percent.

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., are already replicating some of New Orleans’ approaches, supported by a federal grant to turn around their lowest-performing

schools. Missouri’s Board of Education is considering a New Orleansstyle takeover of the troubled Kansas City schools.

It is a different story here in Washington, where a voter-approved charter school law is being blocked.

Initiative 1240 allows the establishment of up to 40 charter schools in our state at a rate of no more than eight a year. The initiative, approved by voters in 2012, specifies that low-income, at-risk students be given priority. Charter schools must meet the same rigorous certification and performance standards, and teachers must be certified, just as they are in traditional schools.

But the Washington Education Association wants the Washington State Supreme Court to rule that charter schools don’t meet the definition of “common schools” in the state Constitution, and therefore should not be funded with tax dollars.

Voters approved I-1240 because they want a choice, an alternative to our state’s traditional public schools. Since students learn differently, voters want to give charter schools a chance.

It is time for the opponents to throw in the towel and allow another approach. If charter schools can work in New Orleans and in 42 other states, they can work in our state, too.

Kent-Meridian substitute Shelly Falkner patrols her IB Spanish classroom to keep students on task and encourage study time. While Falkner knows little about Spanish, she’s needed at least to be an adult in the room and be there to answer questions students have about assignments. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter sub-pool that were looking for jobs, and they’ve gotten hired. Those things are just continuing to be a pull on staff, and of course it’s flu season from now until April,” Leighton said.

The Northwood teacher suspects the issue may be about more than wages and benefits; he said it may turn on another district concern — rotating education programming and, as Leighton said above, more teacher training days.

Part of the difficulty, he suspects, is the Kent School District’s practice of constantly introducing and changing educational programs, leading to more days when teachers are out of the classrooms and in training. Given the wealth of available substitutes in previous years, that was not a problem. But now that

the pool has dried up, it’s become a daily struggle.

“We have teachers, and I’m one of them, (and) my stress and anxiety level has gone through the roof,” he said. “From what I understand, the district hasn’t been actively seeking subs.”

Beth Raines, in her 27th year of teaching and today a support specialist for the Auburn School District, teaches, she says, “the gamut” at Scobee, first, second, fourth grades and more.

“Day to day, it’s a scramble,” Raines said.

planning time to cover a classroom even at a different grade level.

“We’ve also divided kids up, and that has an impact on other classrooms, especially if it’s a different grade level, trying to get things that will be powerful for their learning but then also you now have 30 or 32 students inside your classroom that you’re trying to juggle with your other class.”

“Their ability to do their original plan is really messed up,” Couch said of teachers.

For instance, a teacher teaching an English-asSecond Language writing assignment tailors it strictly to his or her class and each student’s needs, depending on his or her abilities.

as it should be,” she says. “It really is another career.”

“It gets really busy after the introduction of the school year,” says Falkner, “because of colds and flus.

Kids are notorious for sharing in that regard. So the need is there every day.”

Nevertheless, Falkner says, it’s a perfect job for people like her in “semiretirement.”

“You’re not in it for the pay, you’re in it for the passion of the kids,” Falkner says. “It’s the perfect job if you’re looking at being an educator and want to see if you’re good at it. It’s a good part-time job while you’re going to school.

I went and got my masters while I was doing this. If you are impatient and like everything perfect, it’s not the job for you.”

Part of the problem, Falkner says, is when substitute availability is low and teachers are thrown into any class. While she is a talented teacher for marketing and communications classes, she feels she is less useful in a foreign language class where a teacher simply prepares a student-centered lesson plan. To this end, Falkner suggests the district should recruit more industry retirees and people with the time and the skills to provide the missing links and lessons when a teacher has to leave the classroom.

“I think of all the Boeing engineers who are good at math ... and the kids love to hear about what you used to do in the real world and what’s out there,” Falkner said.

substitute teachers yet be able to find only half that number, he said.

What that means, a teacher at Kent’s Northwood Middle School says, is that too often the district has to pull teachers away from their break periods or combine classes.

Over the past two years, with substitutes finding better work in an improving economy, and teachers taking more time off for sick days or for training, the shortage has begun to bite.

The teacher said the shortage has forced his school to bring in other teachers or staff members to cover classes.

“The substitute pool is very small now,” he said, “small enough that on any given day, someone in the school is having to cover for someone else’s class.”

Kent is not the only district grappling with this problem.

In fact, it is afflicting school districts throughout the Puget Sound Region.

“Oh, there’s definitely a shortage,” says Adam Couch, principal at Dick Scobee Elementary School in Auburn. “Every week we have a number of sub jobs that go unfilled, and from my building one or two.

We’re on the low end, but that’s really impactful.”

Debbie Leighton, director of human resources for the Auburn School District, says the new teaching standards and the training required for them, the new teacher evaluation system and the training required for it, and the new class-size initiative have helped to create the vacuum.

“There were people in the

“If I am teaching fourth grade and I have six firstgraders coming in, I am all of a sudden forced to juggle and find something that’s meaningful for the first-graders and the four fourth-graders’ needs,” Couch said. “It can be dispiriting, especially if it’s last minute. If a teacher gets the flu in the middle of the day and can’t get a substitute, that’s just something we do, and we all kind of rally around that person.”

From the Northwood teacher’s perspective, the Kent School District must do more to deepen its pool of substitutes. Some teachers at Northwood, he says, have already covered another classroom 16 to 18 times this year.

A staff member at Northwood, who asked not to be named, also suggested that a low number of substitutes in the pool may relate to a bias that considers substitutes unprofessional.

Shelly Falkner, a teacher at Kent-Meridian High School, left a sales and marketing position 15 years ago and began a second career as a substitute teacher. Over that interval, she says, the work has been consistent but not terribly lucrative.

While Falkner agrees that many of the explanations offered for sub shortages are valid, for instance, pay, respect, and time commitment, she also suspects that the problem could be how people see the substitute’s role.

“I don’t know that the perception of the substitute’s job is as professional

member Largo Wales asked of the proposed contract with GATSO, Inc. “What message does it send to our community when there are warning signs at every major intersection? Looking at traffic outcomes, Auburn has seen a decrease in photo infractions and not a significant change in auto or pedestrian accidents.

“Talking to the Auburn School District Transportation Department,” Wales Wales added, “their empirical findings support the use of the solar-operated traffic speed indicators with the flashing lights in front of the schools. They report those to be more effective.”

Councilmember John Holman, a former police officer, said statistics just do not show that the cameras are effective.

“The purpose of photo enforcement is to reduce accidents, and I submit to you that in the eight years we had Redflex, it didn’t do anything for the accident statistics. We had the same number of accidents with and without, within one accident difference, and that’s not a statistically-valid

“Of all the donations of money, time and vehicle use, donating this time reading with a student has been the most rewarding,” he said. “Most of the students that I have worked with are missing a male role model. I am able to see them grow throughout the year, improving their reading skills while building a relationship with me personally.”

Claudon recalls a student he met more than 20 years ago while teaching an economics course one hour a week at an area junior high school. The young man, Brian, asked him for a job washing cars, and they forged a friendship.

“Brian went on to mentor all three of my children as a teacher at Auburn High School,” he said.

“My oldest daughter credits him with inspiring her to become a teacher. And Brian and his wife just recently bought another car from us for their growing family.”

reduction in accidents,” said Holman.

Holman noted that for the City even to take advantage of one of the prospective vendor’s added features, for example license plate recognition to catch criminals, the City would have to get past a state law that limits the use of photo-enforcement data to non-criminal activities.

And he recalled one accident the cameras could have done nothing about.

“As to the tragic accident we had at Auburn Way and Main Street, where a drunken driver at high speed killed a much-loved cab driver in the City of Auburn, photo enforcement would not have prevented that. That guy was going to run through that at highspeed anyway,” Holman said, referring to the July 4, 2012 accident that killed cabbie Brian Love.

Councilmember Bill Peloza spoke for photo enforcement.

“I’m for prevention… I support the new company, I support signage that we are taking down. There’s both sides of the story,”

A member of the Kiwanis Club of Auburn since 1986, Claudon also has held board positions on the Auburn Valley YMCA, Communities in Schools of Auburn and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as serving on advisory committees for the local school district and community college. He donates annually to St. James Cathedral, the Auburn Food Bank, Auburn Youth Resources and Skills Inc., to name a few.

“Relationships with employees and customers over the years have been by far the most meaningful achievement of my career,” Claudon said. “I take pride in the 90-plus people that we employ and watching them grow and learn. Some leave to find other pursuits, others stay for a career.

Hopefully, all are part of our valley family.”

Claudon and his wife, Lorianne, have three children.

Peloza said.

Councilmember Claude DaCorsi recalled conversations he’d had with City residents about the program.

“Some people said, ‘Why wouldn’t I want it? It’s a safety issue.’ Others have said Auburn is the most unfriendly place in the Sound because we have these cameras.”

DaCorsi said that his own research into red-light photo communities across the nation found photo enforcement actually increasing the number of rear-end collisions.

“People know there’s photo enforcement, the light is quickly changing from yellow to red, they slam on the brakes, the driver behind them is not diligent enough, and the next thing you know you have a rear ender. That is not necessarily what we are experiencing in Auburn, but many cities across this nation have looked at the down side of photo enforcement, and others look at the plus side … I feel at this time that the red-light camera system is not what we should have,” DaCorsi said.

With input from a committee constituted of Auburn Police and the City’s engineering, legal, finance and information technology departments,

the City had recently put out a request for proposals (RFPs) from vendors. Three vendors – Redflex, ATS, and GATSO – bit.

After reviewing the companies, the technology involved, the services offered and each company’s references, the committee chose GATSO. It based its recommendation on the criteria that the RFPs identified, their importance to the City Council and the vision that the people responsible for public safety in Auburn had for an effective system.

The contract proposed, among other things: • An initial three-year contract • A $3,900 cost per camera, per location.

The City had paid $180,000 every year to Redflex to keep things going.

The City launched the program on June 30, 2006 at two intersections: Auburn Way South and 4th Street Southeast; and Auburn Way South and M Street Southeast. It added Harvey Road and 8th Street in December of that year.

Today the program equips school zone safety cameras for Mt. Baker Middle School and in the school safety zones of Chinook, Dick Scobee, Lea Hill and Arthur Jacobsen elementary schools.

Ravens cap perfect season with title

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn Riverside volleyball team’s journey to the state 3A title actually began last year.

Although the season culminated with the undefeated Ravens’ 3-0 sweep – 25-16, 25-23 and 25-20 – of Capital (30-4) in the championship match this past Saturday at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, its genesis was in November 2013, when the team failed to move out of the district tourney, losing 3-1 to Rogers of Puyallup.

“We fixed what didn’t happen

last year, when we were at Kentwood and didn’t qualify (for the state tourney) and we should have,” coach Chris Leverenz said. “We kept reliving that moment after it was over and trying to figure out what we did wrong. We gave up on ourselves, and we decided we would never give up on ourselves again.”

And they didn’t.

Playing with the onus of being the top-ranked 3A volleyball team in the state from the get-go, Auburn Riverside cut a swath through the competition this season racking up a 36-0 record, winning the South

Puget Sound League title outright and capturing the competitive Linda Sheridan Classic in Spokane.

At the state tourney, the Ravens brushed aside the competition, beating Seattle Prep (25-13, 25-17, 25-11), Mercer Island (25-27, 2725, 25-14, 25-17), second-ranked Columbia River (25-20, 25-23, 25-18) and No. 3 Capital in the title game.

In that title match, senior setter Carson Heilborn set the pace for Auburn Riverside with 33 assists and senior Precious Atafua added [ more RAVENS page 16 ]

Auburn Mountainview’s football season ended last Saturday with a 4122 first-round state Class 3A playoff loss to Shadle Park in Spokane.

The Lions (9-2) played without junior quarterback Gresch Jensen, who sustained a knee injury in the first quarter.

“He got his knee rolled up on in pile,” Auburn Mountainview coach Jared Gervais said. “Losing a quarterback for any team is tough, especially at this point.”

Jensen finished the season with an 82.9 quarterback ranking, racking up 1,819 passing yards on 143-of-263 passing, with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

With Jensen out, the Lions turned to senior backup quarterback Jason Sele, normally one of the team’s starting linebackers.

“We’ve never had to use him in a game, which is nice, but we’d been getting him ready just in case,” Gervais said. “He did a better job than we expected of getting everybody organized and going, especially in the first quarter.”

Sele – who finished the game with 12-of-26 passing for 177 yards and interception and a pair of touchdowns, along with a team-high 61 [ more LIONS page 16 ]

Auburn Mountainview boys water polo squad goes 2-2 at Washington State championships

REPORTER STAFF

Auburn Mountainview sophomore Christian Rotter capped his prep cross county running season with a 26th-place finish at the Washington State Boys 3A Championships on Nov. 8 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

Rotter, the Westside Classic district champion, completed the 3.1-mile course in 16 minutes, 12.46 seconds, despite battling illness the week before the meet.

Also placing in the boys competition were Auburn Riverside junior Corey Brinkman, who was 40th overall (16:27.32), and senior

Auburn Mountainview ended its season with a fifth-place finish at the Washington State Boys Water Polo Championships at the Curtis Aquatic Center in University Place last weekend.

The Lions, who won the East Division title during the regular season with a 9-1 record, went 2-2 at the state tourney.

After opening with a 19-3 loss to host Curtis, Auburn Mountainview beat division rival Kentridge 14-6 to stay alive in the consolation bracket.

On the second day of the tourney, the Lions fell 23-6 to powerhouse Mercer Island before beating Wilson 12-10 to take fifth.

Bellevue came out on top at the tournament, winning its fourth consecutive state title, with Curtis, Mercer Island and Roosevelt rounding out the top four.

Lions coach Justin Pritchard praised his boys for their efforts.

“Last year we had more talent.

Auburn Mountainview senior Tyler Arnold (white cap) guards Kentridge sophomore Jonathan Borte during the team’s quarterfinal match. TRACY ARNOLD, for the Reporter The skill was out of this world, but maybe the team attitude wasn’t there,” Pritchard said.

“This year, what we lacked in ability or skill we made up in teamwork. I think that’s been the reason for our success. The boys really get along very well. I go home and I’m happy at night. I don’t have to stress that some of the players aren’t getting along. It makes my job a lot easier.”

Pritchard continued: “It’s been a real good season for us,” Pritchard said. “We lost a lot of players last year but had nine seniors this year. But we look good for the future still. We’ll be tough for a few years.”

In the girls competition, Auburn Mountainview freshman Samantha Goedde was 93rd in a time of 20:52.04.

Lakeside of Seattle earned a one-two finish in the individual race, with Andrea Masterson taking first (17:40.90) and Sophie Cantine settling for second (17:55.73).

“I don’t think we fully appreciated how good he really is,” Gervais said of Rypien, the nephew of Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark Rypien.

Despite the loss, Gervais said, he was proud of his team’s season, which included the program’s first-ever playoff win over Glacier Peak, 45-22 on Nov. 7.

“It was great, it’s been a great year, and I’m super proud of everything the seniors accomplished the past four years,” Gervais said. “This is the first group to go all the way through the program.”

6/18/1993 – 10/25/2014

Barbara Lucile Leen (Lucy), 86, died peacefully, with her daughter by her bedside at Auburn Regional Medical Center on November 13, 2014.

She had three daughters with her husband of 60 years, Derald (Tyke) Leen who preceded her in death in 2007. Jeanne Coffey (John), Connie Nelson (Jim) and Barbara Kay Leen. She is survived by her oldest daughter, Jeanne Coffey, 5 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren as well as a brother in North Dakota and a sister in Renton, WA. Tyke and Lucy raised their family in Auburn where they lived in the same home for 56 years.

After retiring from First Interstate Bank, they became snowbirds and traveled in their motor-home to Yuma, AZ for 20 years. For the past 8 years Lucy had been volunteering at the Auburn Senior Center several days a week where she became very well known for her pinochle card game skills. Lucy was very blessed with family and friends who loved her and will always remember her.

Per Lucy’s request, there will be no funeral services.

[ RAVENS from page 14] 16 kills and 16 digs in the match.

Atafua and Heilborn were nominated for the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award, with Atafua winning the honor and Heilborn being named to the all-tourney team as a setter.

After the game Leverenz reflected on the season and the championship, her first.

“Surreal, is that a good word?” Leverenz asked.

“You kind of walk yourself through it beforehand.

‘What if I win the state championship, what’s it going to feel like?’ Then when it’s 23-20, and our crowd starts chanting,

I’m like, ‘Oh no, not yet, not yet.’ Then we get to 24 (match point) and my heart dropped, in a good way, and the emotions came out.”

For senior hitter Roxy King, it was all about the joy.

“It feels amazing. We’ve been working so hard for this all season long,” she said. “It’s an amazing feeling to finally win it all.”

“I know I’ll never again in my life have a team that is like this, physically, emotionally, mentally and the chemistry,” Leverenz said.

“I’m going to remember Precious and how much she’s matured and gone from a kid I could barely count on to be at practice to a kid who leads the team. Who would have ever thought?” Leverenz said. “I’ll remember Carson Heilborn, who came in as a freshman and said she didn’t want to lead, that she wasn’t a big talker. And then we got to watch her grow. That’s why I coach, and that’s why I teach.”

yards and a TD on the ground – helped lead his squad back from a 21-3 deficit to capture the lead at 22-21 in the second quarter.

The Highlanders scored to close out the quarter, putting the game at 27-22 at intermission.

“In the second half, we had some negative plays,” Gervais said. “It’s hard to win when it’s 3-and-13 and they know you have to run.”

It’s also hard to win when you have to deal with Washington’s top prep quarterback in Shadle Park senior Brett Rypien, who is closing in on the state’s career prep passing yard record.

Rypien and the Highlanders posted 14 third-quarter points, stretching their lead to 41-22, with the defense shutting down the Lions.

Rypien finished the game with 40-of-

goals on 11 attempts and 38 point after conversions. But the cupboard will be far from empty next season.

“We’re pretty excited about the future and where this is going with all the juniors and sophomores who have playing time this season,” Gervais said.

Among the returners are: Jensen; junior Gavin Robertson, who led the team in receptions with 44 for 588 yards and six TDs; junior Ryan Lacey, 35 receptions for 463 yards; Ki’jon Weisinger, 34 receptions and six TDs; Vaughn Daggs, 28 receptions and six TDs and sophomore Bittner Wilson who had 58 carries for 396 yards and five TDs. More important, however, is the team’s newfound confidence, Gervais said.

“This year, for the first time, instead of hoping we could win games, we expected to win games,” Gervais said.

Auburn Symphony Orchestra to perform weekend concerts FOR THE REPORTER

The Auburn Symphony Orchestra is taking its act on the road.

The orchestra presents Old World Masters, its first chamber concert in Kent, on Friday. The concert begins at 7 p.m. at The First Christian Church of Kent, 11717 SE 240th, Kent.

The concert is sponsored in part by the Kent Arts Commission.

Four members of the Auburn Symphony offer standard works that are at the core of the chamber repertoire.

Also known as “The American Quartet,” Dvorak’s String Quartet in F Major was written when the composer was in the United States in the early 1890s.

Haydn’s String Quartet in D Major is primarily referred to as The Lark because of the violin’s high, bird-like melody at the beginning.

And Mozart’s String Quartet in B Flat Major is known as The Hunt because the music in the first movement is said to evoke the sound and the mood of the chase.

In addition, the orchestra kicks off its chamber series Sunday, featuring six of its outstanding musicians performing major works by Mozart and Schoenberg.

The concert, A Lot of Night Music, begins at 4 p.m. at St. Matthew Episcopal Church, 123 L St. NE, Auburn.

Mozart’s famous, light-hearted Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is “supreme entertainment on an artistic

level that only Mozart could attain” while his Viola Quintet in G Minor is “startlingly dramatic and vivid in both personality and form.” Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht is based on a poem of betrayal, acceptance, and forgiveness

by Richard Dehmel.

Founded in 1996, the fully-professional orchestra is led by Stewart Kershaw, internationally-renowned conductor and former music director of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra.

The concert is sponsored in part by the City of Auburn and the GarneauNicon Foundation.

For tickets, call 253-8877777 or purchase online at www.auburnsymphony.org.

throughout the Northwest. Jurors selected 77 works of art from a field of 400 or so pieces for the exhibit.

Sizable cash awards will be announced at the show opening, and during the first two weeks visitors are encouraged to cast their vote for the People’s Choice Award.
