Unfinished business: Guier declares for reelection

WALL COMING DOWN

Crews were busy removing temporary flood protection barriers along Pacific Park on Tuesday. The barriers, known as HESCOs, protected the city from the flood-prone White River during the wet winter season. The barriers were put up in October, and

director of community development for the City of Auburn, said that heavy equipment operators have been compacting the soil, laying the groundwork for the massive project, which gets under way this spring.

Although the City of Pacific has shown plenty of progress over the past 18 months in its recovery from the disastrous reign of former mayor Cy Sun, the woman chosen to replace Sun still feels her job is not yet done.

Back in July of 2013, after city residents recalled Sun, Leanne Guier’s fellow counGuier cilmembers appointed her as the new mayor, with the expectation that she would lead the City’s recovery efforts. Mere months earlier the City had faced the dire possibilities of being annexed into Auburn or dis-incorporating, owing to the loss of its municipal insurance coverage.

Now, with her appointed term set to expire at the end of 2015 and eager for the next step in the progress of Pacific, Guier recently announced that she will run for reelection.

Event organizers look to draw younger crowd to City’s birthday bash

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Phoenix Rising will provide Valley Cities with more room to house and provide services for homeless young adults.

COURTESY RENDERING

Valley Cities plans expansion STAFF REPORT

Blending housing, case management and life-skills development, Valley City officials expect their latest construction project will help young adults, ages 18-25 become responsible, productive and independent, enabling them to move out of homelessness.

Plans for Phoenix Rising describe 24 single-resident-occupancy units for homeless young adults whose income levels are below 30 percent of the area’s median income and who are in desperate need of housing.

Plans call for the construction of two, detached, 4,394-squarefoot, single-story residential buildings with 12 units per building, allowing room for the future development of two additional single-story residential buildings, also with 12 units each.

In addition, the project is to provide job training at the Recovery Café and behavioral health services at the adjacent Valley Cities Auburn office, 2704 I St. NE. Recovery Café is designed to be a 4,528-square-foot shared common space for young adults

living in the residential buildings. A place where they can gather for meals and participate in food-service, barista and custodial-services job training.

Valley Cities has provided quality behavioral health counseling and chemical dependency services to Auburn residents since 1965. It offers individual counseling, group and peer support, psychiatric and primary health care, access to vital social services and many additional support services, among them housing and employment assistance.

Three years ago a band of fun-loving Auburn residents decided to mark the city’s birthday, whooping it up, listening to music and having a great time with good friends in a downtown beer garden.

Modest though attendance at the annual celebration has been since then, drawing 300 to 500 people, for this goaround, festivity planners have thrown in some new things to draw more of Auburn’s party animals in to do the celebrating.

Auburn City Councilman John Holman, one of the members of the Auburn Downtown Association Committee that now is putting the bash together, said this year’s goal is to plump up attendance by enticing more young people.

So, along with music and that beer garden, this year’s shindig on Friday, June 5, marking 124 candles on the municipal cake, will offer a root-beer garden, with ice cream for root-beer floats.

“We’re trying to bring in more participation of school bands, to draw students and their parents in, to get people in the habit of coming downtown to celebrate special events,” Holman said.

“This is not about getting people downtown to buy things, this is about getting people in the habit of coming to downtown on a regular basis to have fun.”

Crews scramble to put out fires was moving up the hill, threatening Mountain View Drive – needed two hours to bring it under control. In that time, crews moved to the top of the hill near Mountain View Drive to focus on hot spots. As of 3:50 p.m. crews were still on the scene, mopping up spot fires.

Brush trucks from King County Fire District No. 20 and King County Fire District 44 provided help. The fire, which forced the closure of Mountain View Drive near Mountain View Cemetery, was not investigated, according to the VRFA. At 4:50 p.m., 11 firefighters responded to 295 East Main St. downtown to a report of smoke in the eaves of American Lighting.

From the perspective of firefighters, March 5 may not actually have been unusually busy.

But two fires, one raising a tall column of smoke from West Hill above Highway 18, another downtown, may have made it seem so to the public.

Just after 11:30 a.m. crews from the Valley Regional Fire Authority, South King Fire and Rescue and the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority responded with seven engines, two aid cars, two brush trucks, two command vehicles and one tender truck to a brush fire off westbound Highway 18, west of State Route 167.

minor, involving mostly burning insulation in the concealed space above the ceiling inside the store.

“It was mostly smoke damage.

There was very little fire,” Terhune said. “The investigator said it was accidental electrical faults. Firefighters did what is called ‘pulling the ceiling’ to access where most of the heat signatures were coming from. There was no water damage, it was mostly smoke from the paper backing on insulation.”

Owner Susan Smith watched events from across East Main.

“We just smelled smoke. I thought it was from outside,” she said.

Investigators estimated damage at about $10,000. There was no damage to Comstock’s Bindery & Bookshop next door.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“With more than 100,000 new jobs since January 2014 and continued growth in the labor force, Washington’s economy remains strong. We saw job growth in every industry, with the exception of one.” – State labor economist Paul Turek, expressing continued optimism for the state’s job growth and employment.

Newspapers will last with stories to tell I have been thinking a great deal recently about the multiple roles a newspaper plays in a community. I suppose all this thinking stuff has something to do with my job, or I am low on my buttermilk smoothies.

I am fortunate that I get to roam around to numerous newspapers owned by Sound Publishing and pester folks. This roaming has given me the opportunity to watch a lot of very talented writers crafting stories and many fine newsrooms putting out papers.

A newspaper is a different kind of a chicken. It is a business that carries the limitations and, most importantly, the responsibilities of First Amendment protection.

Most businesses are concerned about keeping the doors on the hinges and selling widgets smothered in cheese.

The intriguing part of producing a newspaper is the number of balls that must be kept in the air to keep the presses running.

I have read a pile of articles over the last few years from around the country about the future of newspapers. Many are either misinformed or in service of great and glorious Wizard of I Am Smarter than You. Most of the articles I have come across predicting the future of newspapers are authored by someone who is not producing a paper – although the writers often say they did once, or their parents did, or they knew a guy down the street who read a newspaper… once.

I learned long ago never to predict the future. I can barely predict where I will be in the next seven minutes, or remember where I am supposed to be in the next seven minutes.

The wonderful writers at my newspaper who are constantly telling me where I should be and pointing out that I am not there … wherever there is. Nothing like youth and a functional brain, complete with memory. I must have had that once, but I don’t really remember.

Here is my secret decoder ring forecast on the future of anything: No one has a clue – including those hair-piece wonders with beer Dennis Box

It’s startling to see that elephants will no longer be in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. We can chalk this up to a decades-long harassment campaign from radical animal-rights activists, who alleged elephant mistreatment, taking its toll.

We shouldn’t forget that activists had their day in court to prove their claims – and lost, spectacularly. A judge dismissed their case, finding that animal rights groups had covertly paid their key witness, who lied under oath, nearly $200,000.

Ringling’s parent company sued the activists for racketeering and bribery and collected $25 million in settlement money, including $6 million from the Humane Society of the United States.

Whenever I told people that I was interested in studying communications and broadcast journalism, I was always met with confused looks, followed by the statement “isn’t that a dying field?”

It is true that many wellknown forms of professional journalism have fallen on hard times, but they aren’t dying. It is just a transitional period.

This sort of transition has actually happened before.

General-interest magazines like Life once dominated the market, but when television came along, these formats faded, due to the new medium that did the job better.

However, magazines themselves have managed to survive by living off of niche audiences. They just had to evolve [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

OUR TURN

Orca Lift is a boost for people who depend on public transportation

BY LARRY PHILLIPS, LARRY GOSSETT AND JOE MCDERMOTT King County Councilmembers

King County’s new $1.50 low income transit fare, Orca Lift, went into effect on March 1. Orca lift gives residents a cheaper alternative to get to school, work, health appointments and key services they need.

This valuable program will help many residents in our region who are struggling to make ends meet.

Some in King County are starting to experience economic recovery from the Great Recession, but many in our region still struggle with rising housing and transportation costs.

For too many riders, high transportation costs present a stark option: deciding between having

enough money to ride the bus to get to employment or services and putting food on the table. They are riders that are still feeling the full brunt of the economic downturn; the unemployed and those working multiple jobs to stay above water.

Some people who, because they cannot afford to live near their jobs, are taking two or three buses to get to work.

In 2013, as we braced for the fifth in a series of proposed fare increases since 2008, the Council resolved to find some relief for those who depend on affordable public transportation. The opportunity to get to school, employment and services affordably provides pathways for residents to thrive. [ more OUR TURN page 6 ]

range of human service agencies, transit advocacy groups, and government agencies to explore the options available to the County. Their recommendation was to expand the One Regional Card for All (Orca) program to include bus riders who meet specific financial guidelines – such as having an income 200 percent or less of the federal poverty level as established by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.

Last February, the County Council unanimously approved the $1.50

fare, which will be available to adults who meet income and other requirements.

Eligible riders may enroll at specific social service agencies or through Public Health-Seattle & King County.

Orca Lift is a fare that acknowledges the need for providing transit access and mobility for those who would see the bus doors close on them without it.

Councilmembers Larry Phillips, Larry Gossett and Joe McDermott lead the King County Council in the development of the low-income fare program that has become Orca Lift.

to adapt to the new environment.

Of course, when people talk about the fall of traditional journalism, social media is frequently mentioned. Social media has created what is known as “amateur journalism.”

Despite its popularity, it isn’t able to provide the reliable sources and information that traditional journalism is known for. Even still, social media cannot be ignored, and it’s good to see most news outlets focus a lot of time and resources into social media to adapt to the times.

In an era where technology changes so rapidly, it’s easy to write off traditional forms of journalism as dead. However, it’s just an evolutionary process in how to best communicate news and information to people.

No matter what medium is being used – print, digital or something different in the future – the core principles of traditional journalism will stay intact.

Ever since the city voted overwhelmingly to recall Sun, Pacific has been on the rebound, with Guier and the council filling vacancies and reorganizing staff at City Hall.

Junior Katerina Zhuravel earned a spot at the national competition in the dramatic interpretation category. Her piece was titled “Multiple Personality Murder.” She compes at the state tournament this weekend. Senior Alex Geisen earned a second alternate spot in humorous interpretation.

The Auburn School District hosts the second annual Building Bridges event from 5 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, March 17 at Auburn High School, 711 E. Main St. The free event offers a dinner from 5 to 6 p.m., community resources and support fair, workshops and classes, raffles, robotics demonstrations and international performances. The event is designed for families with elementary and middle school students. Roundtrip transportation from all Auburn School District middle schools to the event is provided. Interpreters will be available. For more information, contact Denise Daniels, family engagement coordinator, at 253887-3928. …

Work is progressing as well on two crucial road improvement projects, Valentine Avenue and Stewart Road. Both projects were on life support during Sun’s administration but now have the potential to attract retail and commercial businesses to the city.

“It’s going to take a little time to keep nursing and massaging and getting it out there, and I want to keep working on that,” Guier said. “I’m excited about the two road projects that are going on. They are going to

The Auburn School District recently recognized Pilar Hunter, family engagement liaison at Olympic Middle School, for her outstanding service. Hunter’s goal is to facilitate for families anything kids need to be successful in school. She also is active in the soccer program, the Latinos Unidos service club and the Latino Educational Achievement Project. “Pilar never hesitates to help out, whenever asked, with whatever is needed,” said Elisabeth Daumit, Olympic para-educator. …

Auburn’s Kate Wallen was part of a student team from the Washington State University construction management program that recently took third place at the regional Associated School of Construction student competition, the largest construction management competition in the U.S. It was the fourth year in a row that the commercial team from WSU placed in the competition. …

be finishing up soon, and I want to work with staff and try to attract some real good businesses and get a revenue base, something that really compliments Pacific.”

Although Sun may have been in office for only 18 months after winning a write-in campaign in 2011, the effects of his tenure – which included the loss of most of the city’s department heads, either by firing or resignation – are long lasting, according to Guier.

take us about five years to recover from all the damage that was done in 18 months,” Guier said. “We keep uncovering things.”

But the City is heading in the right direction because of the spirit of cooperation between council and administration, Guier said.

“I think the majority of the council is real pleased about the direction,” Guier said. “And I wouldn’t want a council that were all yes men. I like the conversation and the debate that we have about different things we’re trying to do and move forward. But it’s a different feeling now then it was 19 months ago.

Guier cited her ongoing involvement in several regional committees, including the Sound Cities Association, as reasons for another term in the big chair.

“I want to be viewed by the people of Pacific that not only did I help move us out of all that, but that I also have a vision to keep the City moving forward,” she said. “It took all of us, the council, everyone to get out of that. And we need all of us to keep this moving forward.”

The real key to the continued recovery, Guier said, is continuity.

“There is always a start up and transition time,” She said. “I’d hate to see some of the things that I, staff and the council have worked on take a back seat, or take another course, or just drop off the map altogether.”

In addition to capitalizing on the City’s infrastructure improvements and beefing up the revenue base to move the City forward, Guier said should she win, she also has a couple of pet projects she hopes to complete.

“I’d like to create a walking park system that talks about the heritage of our city,” Guier said. “It’s an idea from our planning

Auburn Mountainview students Nicole Gaarder, Erika Son and Nolan Suko won gold at the regional Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) regional competition last month.

Their service project raised funds to support a local family in need.

SCHOOL The next phase of their project includes sponsoring a walkathon and a balloon event.

The balloon event is called Helping Other People’s Everyday Struggle (HOPES) and will raise funds to assist another family in need.

The students move on to the state competition March 24-27 in Wenatchee.

FCCLA is a nationwide, nonprofit career and technical education student organization that provides personal growth, leadership development and career preparation opportunities for students in family and consumer sciences.

the opportunities that have been afforded me. … My wife and I look forward to our retirement years with eight beautiful grandchildren in a community that we love,” Herren wrote.’

The district could fill Herren’s position by promoting from within or it could open up the process as it does when it hires a teacher or principal.

Vicki Alonzo, public information officer for the Auburn School District, said the school board will meet in a special executive session Saturday.

There is no mandatory retirement age for the office of superintendent.

The Auburn School District’s board of directors in 2008 chose Herren, then deputy superintendent, to succeed retiring Superintendent Linda Cowan.

Herren came to Auburn High School in 1979 from East Wenatchee Junior High School, and for the next 10 years taught economics, history and physical education there. In 1989, he became Auburn High School’s dean of students. He served as the school’s assistant principal from 1990 to 1992, and as its principal from 1992 to 1997.

Herren earned his doctorate in education from Seattle University in 1992.

From 1997 to 2001 Herren was assistant superintendent of the district. In 2001, he was named deputy superintendent, with overall responsibility for curriculum instruction and assessment and for supervision over principals.

A childhood polio victim, Herren wrestled in high school in California and at San Francisco State Univer-

sity. He was head wrestling coach at Auburn for 13 years, and his teams finished in the state’s top 10 nine times in his tenure. He was elected AAA Coach of the Year in 1986.

Among the signal accomplishments of his eight-year tenure as superintendent was leading the successful drive to pass the $110 million measure to build a new Auburn High School, which opened last September.

In November 2014, the Washington Association of School Administrators named him the Washington State Superintendent of the Year. The program recognizes the outstanding leadership of active, front-line superintendents and pays tribute to the men and women who lead the state’s public schools.

Under Herren’s watch, the Auburn School District last year won the Road Map Collective Impact award for closing achievement gaps.

Between 2011 and 2014, Auburn schools won 52 individual Washington State Achievement Awards owing to implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLC), a teacher leader academy, distributed leadership, data analysis for continuous improvement, standards-based teaching and reciprocal accountability for learning and systems innovation.

“Auburn is blessed to have Dr. Herren as our superintendent, due to his focus on kids, staff and the Auburn School District patrons,” Ray Vefik, then president of the Auburn School District Board of Directors, said at the time. “He embodies advocacy, role modeling, leadership, integrity, a hard-working attitude and is not afraid to talk about change.”

Stacking Association’s (WSSA) United States Sport Stacking National Championships at Auburn Mountainview High School.

For John Ansotigue, who has been involved with sport stacking since 1994 and has organized the regional competition, the national event is a very big deal indeed.

“We have had a very successful Northwest Regional competition for a number of years,” said Ansotigue, an Evergreen Heights Elementary music and physical eduction teacher. “The WSSA has decided to come to our area because we have such a strong base of sport stackers, so they decided to come out West. I’m excited to have it here and to have all the people I’ve known at tournaments throughout the years all over come here.”

Wayne Godinet, a program director for the Boys and Girls Club of Oceanside, Calif., invented sport stacking in the early 1980s. Sometimes known as cup stacking, the sport centers on sets of 12 uniformlysized cups, placed upside-down on a flat surface, stacked in one of three configurations and disassembled quickly. The goal is to complete a stacking cycle as fast as possible. In competitions, stackers record

“This team competed with a lot of heart, class and determina-

times in various events.

In addition to spurring the competitive nature of participants, Ansotigue said, sport stacking helps with the development of children who take up the sport. That’s why he has been teaching it at Evergreen Heights for almost 15 years.

“I liked the physical and physiological things that took place when the kids were learning the sport,” Ansotigue said. “Like the hand-eye coordination, the left-brain, right-brain development, called bilateral brain development, taking place. It’s also developing musical and athletic skills. The patterns in cup stacking help with mathematics. They’re finding through studies that kids who do this from an early stage do better in math because of the patterns that they’re learning. They also learn to read earlier because they’re training their brain to go from left to right. So reading and math ability have been approved.”

The nationals, which are expected to draw more than 200 competitors from throughout the country, run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

Winners at the event earn a chance to compete at the 2015 World Sport Stacking Tournament, April 11-12 in Montreal.

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Muckleshoot Library exhibit explores local native food traditions FOR THE REPORTER

The Muckleshoot Library presents a new exhibit from the Burke Museum, Salish Bounty: Traditional Native American Foods of Puget Sound.

The exhibit, on display in the library through April 12, spotlights the

revival of traditional Coast Salish food, and explores the deep history of the area’s food traditions.

Salish Bounty is cocurated by Burke Museum archaeologists and Coast Salish advisors.

Salish Bounty – comprised of historic photo

images, map and informative text printed on freestanding banners – reminds us that food isn’t solitary; cooking and eating are things we do with other people and express our cultural history and values.

The exhibit includes a four-minute audiovisual

DVD, offering archaeological insight into Coast Salish food resources spanning thousands of years along the Duwamish River.

Knowledge of Coast Salish cuisine has been passed down from the elders and supplemented by archaeological and histori-

Contemporary Coast Salish cooks incorporate traditional and newlyintroduced ingredients, sharing traditions to create healthy alternatives for families and communities still struggling with loss of lands and waters, drastically changed lifestyles and imposed industrial foods.

Salish Bounty provides a local perspective on a myriad of 21st century food issues and how, as in many places around the world, the revival of Coast Salish food traditions embodies the reestablishment of more healthful and sustainable practices that honor land and community.

Amazon associates’ food drive benefits local food banks FOR THE REPORTER

The Amazon fulfillment center in Sumner recently donated nearly 2,000 pounds of food to two area food banks in Auburn and Kent.

Amazon associates organized an internal food drive contest to collect the donations. Each of these food banks provides

hundreds of meals a day to local residents and families in need.

“We so appreciate each and every person and business that chooses to help us fill the need for those here in Auburn,” said Debbie Christian, executive director of the Auburn Food Bank.

Nearly 850 pounds of food was delivered to the Kent Food Bank.

Janna Hoehn has been active in the national effort to find photos of all the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. COURTESY PHOTO

Faces Never Forgotten

Help sought finding photos of those soldiers from King County listed on Vietnam Veterans Wall

BY CRAIG GROSHART Bellevue Reporter

Six years ago, Janna Hoehn and her husband made their first trip to Washington, D.C. When they set out to see memorials, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was first on her list.

“The Vietnam War was going on while I was in high school,” Hoehn said.

“Even though I never knew anyone killed in Vietnam, I wanted a rubbing of one of the names.”

The name she chose was Gregory John Crossman, listed as missing in action.

When Hoehn returned home, she decided to research Crossman and find his family.

“In the event they were never able to go to the Wall, I would send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo with me of Gregory,” Hoehn said.

Unsuccessful at first, she enlisted her cousin, the family’s historian, and was able to find a college photo of Gregory after six weeks of searching.

Jump forward two years when Hoehn, a resident of Maui, Hawaii, saw a story about the “Faces Never Forgotten” for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

The goal, to put a face with every name that is etched on the Wall.

Missing Photos needed for Vietnam veterans from Auburn: Name, DOB-DOD Patrick E. Brower, 1947-1969 Henry A. Dye Jr., 1949-1969 Van L. Durham, 1949-1969 Ronald E. Fitzgerald, 1950-1970 Michael E. Linderman, 19461968 Kenneth E. Sargent, 1936-1965 Ronald L. Stoomer, 1945-1968 Douglas G. Wingert, 1947-1967

Hoehn sent in the photo she had of Gregory Crossman. Five days later she received an email from Jan Scruggs, the founder and president of the Vietnam Wall, saying it was the first for that soldier and asking her if she could help him find the photos for the 42 Maui County soldiers who were killed in Vietnam.

“I told him it would be an honor,” said Hoehn, adding that she had always hoped she could do something for the Vietnam veterans because of the way they were treated when they returned home.

“What I thought would be a very easy project, with Maui being so small, was anything but easy,” Hoehn said.

She combed phone books, calling every like name of each soldier

and found 10. Next, she searched archived yearbooks for every high school on Maui and found a few more soldiers. Finally, the Maui News ran an online story about her efforts, and over time she found all of the photos.

Next she turned her efforts to her hometown, Hemet, Calif., and eventually the whole state.

“I have collected over 1,200 photos since May 2013,” Hoehn said.

Now her search has turned to King County.

Hoehn has collected the names of soldiers from King County without a photo to link with the Wall.

“If anyone is related, a friend or a classmate to any of the young men on the list, I would very much appreciate hearing from you,” Hoehn said. “Even if you don’t have a photo, but know which school any of these young men attended, it would be so helpful.”

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has the names of 58,300 etched on its face. To date, only 39,500 photos have been collected.

Those who have photos or information can contact Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@gmail.com.

She also is seeking a volunteer to “do some footwork” in the community if all the photos aren’t found.
