Officials urge drastic action to improve recycling habits Improved efforts needed to extend the life of county’s only landfill

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

King County’s 920-acre Cedar Hills Landfill in Maple Valley takes in about 800,000 tons of solid waste a year off the trucks hauling com-

pacted residential and commercial solid waste from transfer stations, and buries it. But as Pat McLaughlin, King County director of Solid Waste, told Auburn’s leaders recently, 78 percent of the stuff could be recycled, which

means Cedar Hills is filling up much faster than need be. By 2030, he said, barring drastic action, Cedar Hills will run out of room. When that happens the county, according to its 2001 Solid Waste Management Plan, will have to

contract with an out-of-county landfill for long-term disposal, for $10-to-$15 million more than it costs today. Higher costs it will pass on to customers. [ more RECYCLE page 7 ]

On July 20 the Auburn City Council was ready to vote on entering into a $5.4 million contract with Ferguson Waterworks to outfit Auburn and its 14,000 water customers with an automated metering and billing system. But, beset by questions about the system and the changeover, council members put off the vote to their first meeting in August to provide City staff time to Wagner hunt up answers. For instance, a response to Councilman Rich Wagner’s question: how much future capital would the City save with the new system? [ more METERING page 4 ]

Special visit Midshipman Shaun Meehan from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kingsport, N.Y., recently visited Congressman Dave Reichert (R-8th District) at his office in Issaquah. Meehan, son of Kevin and Marsha Meehan of Auburn, received a congressional nomination from Reichert to attend the academy. Meehan, who begins his second year at the academy as a 3rd classman, is majoring in systems engineering. COURTESY PHOTO

The sticking point, said Auburn Mayor and LTAC Chair Nancy Backus, is that Hops and Crops showcases not only a diverse marketplace of crafters, farmers and artisans, it serves alcohol, too, small samples of beer brewed by local microbreweries, for a buck. Backus noted that some committee members were uncertain whether the LTAC should support an alcohol-related event. Among other knocks against Hops and Crops: the donation should go to promote “Don’t Drive and Drive;” and Hops and Crops should have shuttles available. Backus recalled that Geocaching supporters at first had informed the committee that $1,000 would meet their needs. Then people started talking about how many people the event would bring in and how most of the Geocaching events have something going on the night before. [ more GEOCACHES page 17 ]

July 20 Vandalism: 12:01 p.m., 1002 Harvey Road NE. Some gink with a spray can sprayed graffiti onto a business’ fence. Dog bite: 9 p.m., 6821 Udall Place SE. A small dog bit a child.

July 21 Trespassing and vandalism: 6:30 a.m., 700 block of 12th Street Southeast. Having trespassed onto private property, a homeless woman got busy removing flowers and surrounding herself with them. Shoplifting: 1:10 p.m., 801 Auburn Way N. A man shoplifted stuff from Fred Meyer, then during his flight dropped a backpack with the goods inside. As employees

[ METERING from page 1 ] At the Monday study session, Wagner, optimistic, asked the question again. “My gut feeling is that it’s going to save us half a million bucks a year,” Wagner said, “but I wish somebody would (spend) a little more than five minutes on that to give us some idea why this is a good deal beyond the other (positives),” Kevin Snyder, director of Community Development and Public Works, said that the automated metering would definitely create increased operational efficiencies. After all, that is what advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is about, he said — and

[ PLEA from page 1 ] King County Prosecutors say Charles C. Petrich shot and killed Sara Arthur, 29, and Chaz Schmitz, 32, both of Auburn. If convicted as charged, Petrich could spend 33 to 49½ years in prison. His bail is $4 million. Auburn Police described what happened as follows: “Petrich and Sara Arthur and Chaz Schmitz were at Les Gove Park. … Petrich was witnessed in a dispute with Schmitz. He obtained a .22 caliber rifle from his white Chevy S-10. He then used the rifle to shoot Sara Arthur at the base of her skull. Petrich also shot Schmitz in the chest.” According to police, Petrich then fled in his truck. Schmitz died at the scene, and Arthur was transported

Next, more trespassing: 11:26 a.m., 400 Segale Hall Road. Police kicked two men and a woman from Puget Sound Energy property.

July 23

This week’s…

Trespassing: 9:37 a.m., 299 12th St. SE. Police trespassed a man from Terminal Park. Trespassing: 4:30 p.m., 801 Auburn Way N. A woman whom the Fred Meyer store had trespassed in September of 2014 returned on July 22 to get herself busted for being a shoplifter of food, medicine, a bottle of booze and a bicycle helmet.

July 25 Tree theft: Overnight, 6700 block of Elaine Avenue Southeast. Somebody plucked up a small tree from a woman’s front yard and scampered away into the darkness.

Theft of vehicle parts: Overnight, 2900 block of Auburn Way North. Bad guys working the weehours-of-the-morning-thievery shift stole two sets of wheels from two vehicles.

July 26

Theft: 3 p.m., 900 block of 9th Street Southeast. A City of Auburn employee reported the theft of radios.

Vandalism: 9 a.m., 29600 block of 128th Court Southeast. A vandal painted hateful words onto the exterior of someone’s garage door.

Theft: 11:20 a.m., 32000 block of 104th Place Southeast. Somebody stole a canoe from a residential backyard.

those efficiencies may, he cautioned, result in capital cost savings. But no sure-fire thing. “If the city reduced its water consumption by 1 percent, that could equate to potentially up to a half-million dollars in cost savings, which could be repurposed back into capital construction,” Snyder said. “But we as staff did not feel that we could tell the council with any absolute certainty, without misguiding or misdirecting you in terms of what AMI is, that … there will be capital cost savings.” Wagner said he considered a 1 percent reduction in consumption a “pretty conservative” estimate, addto Harborview Hospital Medical Center in Seattle where she died from her wounds on July 6. According to police, Petrich is a convicted felon with second-degree assault on his record. Asking for the high bail, prosecutors had the following to say: “The suspect used a firearm to shoot and kill from point-blank range, two unarmed victims. He is a convicted felon with numerous failures to appear and is transient. If released, (he) would likely flee and potentially arm himself again, posing a substantial likelihood of harm to the community.” A case setting hearing is at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5, in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Fire & Rescue Blotter The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 217 calls for service between July 20 and 26, among them the following:

July 20 Illegal burning: 7:09 p.m., (Green River). Having responded to a report of a bon fire on a beach near the Green River, firefighters advised the group about a little thing called a statewide burn ban now in effect, and told them how to find rules for burning at the VRFA web-site. The fire was extinguished.

July 21 Aid call: 7:31 p.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters treated a boy whose feet a car had driven over in the parking lot of an apartment complex, and a private ambulance transported him to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center (MAMC) with minor injuries.

July 22 Aid call: 11:45 a.m., (Pacific). Firefight-

ing that he was confident it would happen. Wagner asked whether staff were confident there was enough money in the budget for retrofitting meters into “50-year-old receptacles.” Snyder said that staff had estimated those resource costs not only for the department of Community Development and Public Works but also for other departments, based on what they had to say about AMI. “We feel very confident in the numbers,” Snyder said. “We have a pretty

good overall feeling about the overall health and condition of our meters. We know that more than 25 percent of them are not in the best condition, and we know that those will probably take more effort. But we have had an ongoing program of changing out meters. “A lot of our efforts will be dealing with relatively new meter technology, which should help us with our efficiencies,” Snyder said. “But there will be some of our meter technology that will cause us some problems. In addi-

ers treated an unresponsive woman who was sitting in her car, and a private ambulance transported her to MAMC for further evaluation.

July 23 Aid call: 5:09 p.m., (Lea Hill). Once firefighters determined that an older woman with chest discomfort was having a heart-related issue, King County Medics treated and transported her to MAMC.

July 24 Mutual aid brush fire: 7:06 p.m., (Bonney Lake). Firefighters and East Pierce Fire and Rescue responded as mutual aid to a reported brush fire in a wooded area just south of Lakeland Hills, where they found what appeared to be a motorhome fully engulfed in flames and surrounding grass and brush on fire. A quick attack extinguished the fire, but the motorhome was a total loss.

July 25 Aid call: 8 a.m., (Auburn). Firefighters responded to a woman suffering a medical emergency associated with her pregnancy. The woman spoke with her doctor and was transported to a local area hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

tion, we will have those instances when, because of where meters are located or because of other factors … we may take a little bit more time with some cases.” Councilman Wayne Osborne wondered if the City had asked other communities that had brought in AMI and used it for a year about the sorts of savings they realized during that time span. Utilities Engineering Manager Lisa Tobin said staff had conducted an investigation through the American Water Works Association of utilities nation wide to see

July 26 Aid call: 3:28 p.m., (Algona). Firefighters responded to an infant who was reportedly choking. When firefighters arrived the mother told them the problem had been taken care of and she did not need help. 211 SYSTEM: The state Legislature included $1 million in funding for the statewide 211 system in the final budget. Funding will support the seven 211 regional call centers that make up the Washington Information Network 211 (WIN211). 211 is a free, confidential and easy-to-remember phone number that serves as a lifeline. With a call to 211, those in need receive information and referrals to essential health and human services such as: where to go for food and shelter; what to do if utilities are turned off; where to get free or low-cost health and dental care services; how to get rent or mortgage assistance; where to find job assistance and employment resources; how to get help with civil legal issues; and where to find services for veterans.

whether it could provide any information. “This is really focused on operational efficiency, better customer service through leak detection and on being able to use this data to analyze future water resources. So they really have not been able to provide us with any information,” Tobin said. “We reached out to our consultant, HDR, which is a multi-national firm that provides AMI assistance to utilities across the nation, and they were also not aware of being able to really provide the quantification.”

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“It changed me. It made me see how hearing can impact people’s lives. Now I want to work in audiology.” – Auburn’s Son Do, 15, who got a close-up look at careers in nursing and other specialties at MultiCare Health System’s 12th annual Nurse Camp.

GUEST OP

More spending in schools doesn’t necessarily improve learning After six months of debate and convening three special sessions, lawmakers in Olympia finally reached agreement on a state budget for 2015-17. The new budget voted on in July increases spending on K-12 public schools from $15.26 billion to $18.15 billion, an increase of 19 percent. Lawmakers achieved this large rise in spending with the natural increase in current revenues, without imposing new taxes on Washington families and business owners. Earlier, Gov. Jay Inslee broke a campaign promise and said he wanted to impose a capital gains income tax, saying it was essential to fund schools. Lawmakers of both parties rejected the proposal. The new budget funds class size reductions to 19-22 students in grades K-3, to 17-21 students in grades K-3 in high-poverty schools, expands all-day kindergarten and preschool, provides large increases in materials, supplies and operating costs, expands learning assistance and other categorical programs and increases the pay of teachers and other school employees. Republicans in the Senate pushed hard for education spending increases without raising taxes. Democratic and Republican lawmakers worked hard to fulfill the requirements of the state supreme court’s 2012 McCleary decision. Since then lawmakers have increased state spending on public schools by over $4.5 billion, a 32-percent increase in four years. The 2015-17 budget represents one of the largest one-time increases in public education spending in state history. While administrators and union executives will certainly welcome more public money in the system, funding boosts in past years show that more spending alone does not improve learning outcomes for children.

Reichert and the budget I want to make sure that everyone understands the GOP budget that Congressman Dave Reichert enthusiastically supports. It abolishes the ACA (Obamacare). It guts funding for education, research and infrastructure. It makes Medicare a voucher system. It cuts $260 million for higher education. It cuts the EPA by $718 million (who needs clean air or water?) It cuts food stamps by $137 million (let them go hungry). Best of all, it does not balance the budget. It does increase military spending, not for veterans or GIs, but for the defense companies that line your representatives pockets. This budget will be a disas-

did what any reasonable postcollege graduate would do: I went back to my pre-college food vending job. I dug down deep and worked the trenches at the Capitol Lake Fair in Olympia, serving roasted corn to thousands of hot, sweaty fair-goers, who, apparently, have ravenous appetites for butter-slathered

With a few days left in the 18-day primary election voting period, about 10 percent of the ballots have been voted and returned to county election offices. Five of the 39 counties do not require a primary this year. About 85 percent of the state’s registered voters received a ballot.

Tips to maintain proper food vendor etiquette During that fateful summer after graduating college, before locking down my career path, I found myself strapped for cash as friends more fortunate than I wanted to go out and celebrate their newfound status in society. So to keep up with the Joneses, I

Zea Mays. Not that I blame them – if I were shipwrecked on an island where only corn grows, and my ship was delivering an unlimited supply of cayenne pepper, garlic powder and Johnny’s Seasoning Salt, I would be a very happy Chuck Noland. And yes, on long summer days I would draw faces on my new starchy friends.

Secretary of State Kim Wyman has predicted an eventual 26-percent turnout for this offyear primary on Tuesday. That is the same as 2013, the last comparable election year without statewide races on the primary ballot. Ballots must be: postmarked no later than election day, Aug. 4; returned to a designated ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on election day; or returned in person to your county elections department by 8 p.m. on election day.

I didn’t realize how soft and squishy my college life had let me become until I stepped back into that yellow and green booth. I worked a 12-hour shift my first day and a 16-hour shift the second. In front of me, I faced hot asphalt and clear blue skies that allowed the sun to constantly assault my sensitive ginger skin. And behind me, I’ve got a roaring corn roaster that the devil himself would think twice about sticking his hands in to grab a delicious cob. [ more STILL page 6 ]

[6] July 31, 2015 [ STILL from page 5 ] So maybe it was the heat, or the blisters running the length of my foot or the lack of sleep I had during this venture back into the blue collar world, but I found myself barely holding back the urge to enact a “mandatory tipping fee” every time a customer deviated from proper food vendor etiquette. So if you enjoy those large fairs with rides that spin so fast they make you sick, drinks so large they make you sick, and where you can eat as much corn as you want until you make yourself sick… please consider these tips when you order your food. 1. Look at the stand you’re ordering food from. This seems like a no-brainer, but if I had a dollar for every time someone stood underneath the awning of the booth that advertises our roasted corn in green letters as large as my forearm and asked me if this is where everyone is getting their corn, I’d never need to shuck another cob again. 2. Know what you want. If it’s a slow day, please come ask us what an Arnold Palmer is, and what sort of free samples we have of those yummy, crunchy, cinnamon-glazed nuts we carry. It’s a great way to break out of the monotony, and I get to perform my well-rehearsed spiels about the food we serve. But if it’s a busy day and you are at the front of a line 204/7/15 people11:05 deep,AM 280945_4.75_x_6 please tell us what the beast in your

www.auburn-reporter.com stomach is craving and step to the side. 3. Give us your order all at once. Don’t parse out your order in three or four separate sentences because that makes it hard for us to keep a running total of corn and drinks to serve. 4. Have your money ready and out of your wallet. You’re about to partake in one of life’s greatest, albeit messiest, treats. Even if you pay with a $100 bill, just have it out in your hand and put your change in your pocket so you can grab hold of that delicious corn dripping with butter instead of trying to juggle your fancy purse or leather wallet with your large lemonade and weapon of buttery destruction. 5. Don’t fold your bills. This may be the cardinal sin of vendor shoppers, even worse than not having your money ready. Every time I have to unfold or un-wad a mess of one dollar bills, I want to club you with the corn that should rightfully be used as nourishment, not a tool for corporeal punishment. 6. Don’t ask for special treatment. I can’t roast the corn differently, shave the corn into a cup or MacGyver some sort of holding instrument for your food when I have a line of famished corn-ivores behind you. And if I do help you, because your kids are extra cute or you obviously need the help, keep us happy by putting your change into 1the tip jar. A dollar or two goes Page a long way in making sure every-

one who needs special treatment receives it. 7. Be polite. Being a customer doesn’t mean you’re entitled to any sort of service or product, and I’ll gladly refuse to serve you if you bark orders at me or my coworkers. The corn will keep roasting, no matter who you are. 8. Don’t ask us where another food vendor is. Just don’t. 9. Don’t ask us if what we serve is organic. Looking for organic food at a street fair is like trying to find common sense in a Donald Trump speech. It’s not going to be there, and at the end of the day, you’re going to be swallowing a lot of crap anyways. 10. Don’t complain about our prices. We didn’t set them and we can’t change them. If you don’t want to pay, that’s fine – there are literally hundreds of other people who will. Working any sort of food vending job is hard. It’s intense work with long hours and little pay, so please, when you’re enjoying your next street fair, keep these tips in mind, and we will gladly reciprocate your kindness and genteel manner with the most delicious piping hot, buttered-up corn on the cob we can.

As the court ruled in McCleary: “Pouring more money into an outmoded system will not succeed.” Here are some of the structural reasons more spending alone doesn’t work: • Only 60 cents of every education dollar reaches the classroom; • The majority of school employees are not classroom teachers; • Seniority rules keep “lemon” teachers in the classroom; • Tenure rules make it hard to fire low-performing principals; • Good teachers cannot receive performance bonuses; • Teachers must pay union dues or be fired. Lawmakers did offer bills to end automatic seniority rules in layoffs and assignments, in an effort to raise teacher quality, but these improvements were blocked by union executives. The session again highlighted the state’s powerful teachers union, the WEA, as the primary obstacle to reform. Union executives closed schools

across the state in a series of rolling, one-day walkouts, yet the only message behind the strike action was more spending, especially pay raises for adults, not policy improvements to help children. In the years ahead we should not be surprised if the large increases in education spending do little to improve student learning. Large increases have been enacted before, while overall test scores remain flat, the dropout rate is about the same and the achievement gap has grown worse. The good news is lawmakers decided not to increase the financial burden they place on Washington families with a tax increase. Still, there is no reason to think a 19-percent increase in education spending without structural improvements in how the money is spent will produce better results for children.

King County built up the bones of the plan from successful practices already in use elsewhere in the country. That includes Northern California, which, McLaughlin noted, has achieved recycling rates 10 percentage points higher than King County has. County officials have

CITY OF PACIFIC SEPA NOTICE DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE FILE/S SEP15-005 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: Repealing of Section 19.08.047 - Alteration of Subdi-

through product stewardship programs to get smarter packaging and endof-the line ownership. “Obviously, we also need to work through our business partners to educate them on proper recycling at the curb,” he added. “But we’re doing that now, and we are still getting 78 percent resources brought into our facilities. We can’t turn our head from that. We need to be able to harvest those resources as well.” Gaisford said the county could take incremental steps toward achieving its goals, such as mandating that businesses and schools separate their food from the waste stream and put it into the compost cart. If businesses and schools were required to do this, he said, the county would see an increase of 4½ percent in its recycling rates county wide. Among other steps: recovering materials like paper, metal and food

that can be recycled today and which already have markets; and taking maximum advantage of existing infrastructure such as carts, which haulers like Waste Management already provide to the cities. “You’ll see that there are no silver bullets. We need to increase recycling for all four of our key waste generators: single-family, multi-family, non-residential and self-hauling. … As we’re able to rebuild our transfer stations into new facilities, we’re able to separate more of the materials and provide more recycling services to our self-haulers, which is a huge component of this — a need to increase their recycling rate as well,” Gaisford said. “… We don’t need to do all of this tomorrow. There’s some of these that are more ripe for action, such as single-family. They already have high participation rates, we just have to maxi-

mize the food recycling because we know that not a lot of food recycling is going on. As for multi-family, there are some issues going on. We need to know they have the right containers and space,” Gaisford said.

HOME PRICES IN AUBURN jumped 11.8 percent, but home sales dropped 4.1 percent in June compared to the same month last year. A total of 142 homes were sold at a median price of $313,000, according to numbers compiled by Redfin (www.redfin.com), a Seattlebased real estate company. The median home price was $320,000 for single-family homes and $186,250 for condos and townhomes. Auburn homes spent an average of 17 days on the market. The numbers only reflect transactions on the Multiple Listing Service, a local or regional database of available real estate for sale by member brokers.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ CAMP from page 1 ] health care professionals in various departments at MultiCare’s five hospitals: Auburn Medical Center; Tacoma General Hospital; Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital and Health Center in Tacoma; Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup; and Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma. The process is competitive, and this year the camp chose 109 of the 250 teens who applied. Do and his family came to the United States from Vietnam when he was 4. His mother, who could not speak English at the time, had chronic health issues requiring multiple hospital stays. Do said job shadowing an audiologist at camp helped him choose his career path. “It changed me,” Do said. “It made me see how hearing can impact people’s lives. Now I want to work in audiology.” Do hopes that when he graduates from college, specialists and registered nurses will be in great demand. According to RN recruiters at MultiCare, there is a demand for nurses now. The size and nature of the RN work force fluctuates, runs in cycles, they explained. Retirements and other factors play a part at any given time as to what’s available to those breaking into the specialized nursing profession. “There currently is a great demand for nurses. We are in the early stages of another nursing shortage,” said Kim Giglio, director of talent acquisition programs for MultiCare. “A lot of it has to do with demographics

Avry Freaney of Kent, right, and Kelsey Vanderhoof, an occupational therapist, middle, talk to a patient at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center last week. Freaney was a participant at MultiCare’s Nurse Camp, job shadowing Vanderhoof. COURTESY PHOTO, Patrick Hagerty … There was a period of time when nursing wasn’t at the top of the list of professions that people were choosing. They were choosing high tech or other fields. “And then, here in Pierce County, we did a really good job of building visibility for the career of nursing through events like Nurse Camp, working with the schools, educating students about the fact that nursing is a great career choice,” Giglio said. As RN recruiters point out, today’s nurse needs to be well organized, customer-service oriented, empathetic, flexible, and have good time-management- and problemsolving skills. RN recruiters say many Nurse

Camp participants go on to careers as RNs, some decide to become specialists, like imaging technicians or physical therapists, and still others choose medical school. Options like that intrigue Faatihma Nasheed, 17. The senior-tobe at West Auburn High School wanted to see for herself what Nurse Camp was all about. “I like fast-paced things. I’m outgoing and get along with everybody. I care about people. I didn’t know there were so many fields in the medical profession,” said Nasheed, who is exploring the possibility of becoming an obstetrician. “My grandmother was a midwife, and I’ve seen many births of my cousins and family. … I just think it’s beautiful.”

Avry Freaney, a junior-to-be at Kentwood High School, is debating between careers in medicine or nursing. The camp has provided a great opportunity to see if nursing is the right fit for her. “It’s really great exposure,” she said. “It gives you an idea of what you might like to do before you go into college.” MultiCare has long recognized the need to encourage a more diverse and well-prepared health workforce. It began its first Nurse Camp in 2003, graduating 30 students. Every year since, the camp has grown in popularity, with an increasing number of young men considering nursing careers, too. “The experience was phenomenal,” said Jared Luna, a Nurse Camp graduate and volunteer. “I was pretty sure I was going to go into nursing. … (The camp) was a great final stepping stone to confirm (my interest in) nursing.” Luna, of Tacoma, volunteers weekly in the emergency department at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way. He begins a four-year nursing degree program this fall at Pensacola Christian College, Fla., and has his sights set on a career as an advanced practitioner nurse. “I’m looking to specialize in either emergency or trauma (department nursing),” Luna said. “You’ve got to be flexible. You don’t know who or what’s coming in (for immediate nursing care).” More than 250 MultiCare staff members and volunteers and more than 20 sponsors from the local community made this year’s Nurse Camp possible.

SCHOOL BRIEFS

Auburn Riverside students honor Konkler with lily pads FOR THE REPORTER

Nick Konkler was an Auburn Riverside student who took woodworking and several other career and technical education classes. He also spent a lot of time in a children’s hospital fighting cancer. He lost his battle with cancer in February. To honor him, Konkler’s mother, Christina, approached woodworking teacher Jim Wickens with the idea to make lily pads for Mary Bridge and Seattle Children’s hospitals. Lily pads are circular pieces of wood made to fit around IV poles in the hospital. The lily pads provide children a place to ride while hooked up to the IV poles while in the hospital. Wickens loved the idea, and 64 students participated in various aspects of the project. Securing donated materials from the Auburn Lowe’s and the Washington Chapter of the See Ya Later Foundation, Wickens’ students completed 50 lily pads. It was a great learning experience for students to experience mass production, efficiency and quality control. After production, the lily pads were individualized with custom graphics by students from Christian Miller’s art classes and painted by students from Angela McCausland’s classes. Themes included animals, cars, flowers, sports images and cartoons. A contingency of those involved in the project delivered the lily pads to Mary Bridge and Seattle Children’s. “This was a great way for my students to honor and remember their classmate,” Wickens said.

Students shaped and decorated lily pads, the wooden platforms that slide over the wheels on IV poles so kids can ride around. COURTESY PHOTO

hey call it Intensity Night. Judging from the players’ faces at the NBC Basketball Camps at Auburn Adventist Academy, they are feeling it. Heads down, digging deep, running from station to station, spurred on by upbeat pop music throbbing over the gym’s PA system, girls rush through their basketball circuit training drills, Parents and family watch from the stands, shouting encouragement as the girls switch drills, again and again, getting a taste of what an NBC Camp is all about. It’s a peek into the basketball skills girls are learning to help them move their games to the next level. There are off-the-court lessons to learn as well. Those lessons, the product of the camps’ emphasis on imparting Christian values such as hard work, integrity and responsibility, hopefully will take root at the camps and bear fruit throughout the lifetime of the campers.

A pair of former players and one current Auburn Mountainview boys water polo player competed at the USA National Junior Olympics in Orange County, Calif., this past week. In the 18U championship division, the Pierce County squad, featuring alumni Tyler Arnold and Jonah Kathlean, finished 20th overall, going 1-6 against tough national competition.

AUDITIONS

it’s the 39th year consecutive summer he’s been involved with NBC Camps. Smith, vice president of NBC camps, has been the site director at Auburn Adventist for 25 years. He attended his first NBC as a camper in 1976 in Spokane, where legendary coach and founder Fred Crowell started the camps in 1971. “Kind of my claim to fame is that I started going to NBC when I was 9, and I’m 48 now,” Smith said. “I haven’t missed a summer. I’m one of the longest to have been with the organization.” On the court, the NBC Camps resemble other individual sports camps, providing instruction in basketball skills. NBC also offers soccer and volleyball camps. The company has more than 130 different sites, offering camps in six countries; the United States; Canada; the United Kingdom; Thailand; Italy; and Austria. “Number one focus is we’re going to have exceptional direct instruction of fundamental skills,” Smith said. But there is another element to the camp, Smith added. “We’re going to also provide them the opportunity to strengthen their character through developing life skills that will make them successful – for example, taking responsibility, being courageous in tough situations, learning how to make split-second decisions and choosing the right things,” Smith explained. “Our core

values are honoring family, honoring God and honoring community. And the core value for us is about servant leadership, based off our relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to help kids become not only better players but also better people.” Typically, 1,000 boys and girls, ages 9-17, go through the Auburn Adventist NBC site each summer. Several star players have gone through the camps — one went on to an NBA career — but Smith politely declines to name them, preferring to emphasize the camp. “Our big name is Jesus,” he said. A typical day for a camper starts with the 7 a.m. wakeup call. After breakfast it’s off to ball handling and team time. Campers then move on to two hours of individual fundamental instruction, including shooting, offensive and defensive sessions and speed and agility work, followed by game-sequence drills. All before lunch.

Making a difference For Smith, a fifth-grade teacher at Woodland Elementary School in Puyallup, it’s more than basketball that keeps him coming back every summer. “For me, the number one reason I’m doing this is the opportunity to impact kids for a lifetime, to help them make decisions that are important for them to become successful people,” Smith said. “Another thing is supporting families. NBC Camps have come alongside families to support their core values and what they believe and how to keep kids doing the right things for the right reasons. It’s not always easy in today’s world to keep that

Campers have two more hours of individual instruction and more game drills in the afternoon before they move on to a special activity – like Intensity Night. The evening program is about delivering the camp’s message with a topic of the day. “We do fun stuff, too, like skits and team competitions, but that’s where we really hit our message,” Smith said. Before bed, campers have one more team session when they go through a workbook.

clearcut for kids.” John Soule, Auburn Adventist Academy’s new principal, said it’s that emphasis that makes offering the use of his school’s facilities to NBC an easy decision. “At this age, kids are starting to break with their parents and trying to get their autonomy,” Soule said. “At Auburn Adventist, we use the basketball camps to help parents, to provide a community where kids are positive. We reinforce that for our parents. We’re that gap for the parents, and we partner with them to produce a young man and woman who are positive (influences) in (the) community. And that changes culture to become positive. With all the stuff that is out there that our kids have to deal with every day, kids need something positive, something to help them be courageous and be who they are.” The approach is different with each age group, Smith said. “With elementary kids, we’re trying to instill good work habits,” he said. “With junior high (players), it’s about good decision making. With the high school, we’re going to focus more on being able to transform by being a leader and transforming your team and community by the actions that you do.” For Auburn Adventist and NBC, the combination has been a match made in heaven. “The neatest thing about NBC Camps and their philosophy is that we connect well,” Soule said. “It’s all about character. It’s such a good relationship because we believe in the same thing – building character with our kids. For more information, visit www.nbccamps.com and www.auburnacademy. org.

BenchMarks grace Auburn

[ GEOCACHES from page 3 ]

Be on the lookout this summer for a great place to sit. BenchMarks, Auburn’s newest community art program, sought community groups to paint, carve and otherwise artistically alter plain wooden benches into works of sitable art. The benches, built by the Green River College Carpentry Division, can be found throughout Auburn – in parks, along sidewalks and in neighborhoods where people gather. A number of community groups stepped forward to take on the challenge of modifying a bench and the results are diverse, interesting and fun. Two local high school art clubs – Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview – took on the challenge as did the after-school youth program of the Muckleshoot Tribe.

Julia Wood is the lead artist for the Auburn Noon Lions BenchMark that sits at East Main and D Street NE. COURTESY PHOTO Service clubs, including the Kiwanis (morning and noon), the Lions and community organizations, including the Green River College Interurban Center for the Arts, the See Ya Later Foundation, the Auburn Valley YMCA and the White River Valley Museum also created benches to reflect their organizations.

Each bench includes signage about its creators and a smart-phone mobile tour (www.stqry.com) revealing the locations of all the benches throughout town. For information on BenchMark, visit www.auburnwa.gov/arts or call 253-931-3043.

FOR THE REPORTER

“Probably, there’ll be more hotel spaces reserved for that event than for anything other than the Veterans Day Parade, which we also received an application for,” said Backus. To move an item to final action by the Auburn City Council, the LTAC must have a quorum and at least two hoteliers in attendance. Of the 10 people present for the vote, some had items for presentation for potential distribution of the lodging tax dollars. Patricia Cosgrove, director of the White River Valley Museum, was in a good mood. “We’ve never applied before this year. It would have been a new thing,” said Cosgrove. Groups that receive funds are invited to reapply during the next round, but they must return to update the LTAC to ensure that they used the grant received in the manner they had said it would be and to provide statistics on the number of rooms rented as a result.

“We have a healthy reserve, and the budget that was approved by council provided for basic allocations. Since we have a reserve, the LTAC will request council’s approval for a budget amendment that will allow for another round of funding this year in the fall, and then going forward on an annual basis,” said Auburn Tourism Manager Debbie Luce. As rules prevent the City from increasing the amount of lodging tax dollars allocated, only decreasing them, council members were left with no palatable options. “I really appreciate the time that these various committees put into this, they study this well and they know the value of things. I am not a proponent of changing what they’re proposing, I just want to share that I am a little disappointed, but I understand the time they spent,” said Councilmember Largo Wales, voicing the common sentiment of the council, which voted unanimously in favor.
