Board weighs fee to fund roads

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

No big secret, but Auburn’s streets are in bad shape, and the City doesn’t have the bucks it once had in the budget to fix the big ones.

Which is why the Transportation

Benefit District Board (TBD) expects on Monday to consider and possibly approve a $20 car tab fee and to mull possible options, strategies and actions for raising money to make sorely-needed transportation fixes within the district.

“State law authorizes the board to enact the fee, and it is expected to generate approximately $800,000,” Kevin Snyder, director of community development and public works for [ more CAR TABS page 7 ]

Schools brace for levy vote

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

The maintenance-andoperation levy comprises 21 percent of the Auburn School District’s funding.

That was the overriding message Superintendent Alan Spicciati conveyed during a Jan. 20 open house at the district’s headquarters to discuss the four-year renewal levy.

Ballots for the all-mail election must be postmarked by Feb. 9.

The levy, which was passed in 2012 with 59.75 percent of the vote in King and Pierce counties, expires

Newlun gets the nod to fill Pacific City Council seat

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Involvement.

That word was the overriding theme behind the appointment of Justin Newlun to the Pacific City Council on Monday night.

Newlun, who turns 33 in March, inherits Tren Walker’s Position 7 seat and term, which expires Dec. 31, 2017. Walker, who had served since 2005, resigned because he is moving out of the city.

Four City Councilmembers – Clint Steiger and David Storaasli were absent – selected Newlun over three other candidates, which included Howard Erickson, who served as Pacific mayor from 197684 and 2000-04.

“I feel Justin is very qualified,” Councilmember Katie Garberding said. “He has done a lot for the city and the residents. He has a rapport with the community. He’s an individual thinker and does his homework.”

Newlun said he decided not to run last year for a couple of reasons.

He was busy in his role as the City’s postmaster – a role he assumed in 2010 from his grandmother before the post office closed last May – and he liked the performance of the people on the council.

When Walker resigned, a resident asked Newlun to apply.

Newlun, is an office manager at Erickson Refrigeration in Auburn, served on the City’s planning commission and its parks board. Those appointments ended with his move to the City Council.

Being involved in the community is important to Newlun.

“My family has always been big with what we have, we share,” he said. “We help out those in need and less fortunate.”

Newlun, who does not identify as a Democrat or Republican, maintains an open-door policy.

“I listen to everything,” he said. “I stand up for what I believe in. What I believe in is the best thing for the community, even if it’s not the best thing for me.”

Newlun said that comes from

experience.

As a sophomore, he transferred from Mount Rainier to Lindbergh High School. But he said his records were lost in the transition, which resulted in him going to Black River Alternative High School in Seattle.

“When I showed up at the alternative school the first day, there were kids lighting pencils on fire and throwing them,” Newlun said.

“I thought it was going to be a typical, horrible, horrible experience, like you see in the movies. I figured everything was shot out of the water there.”

Instead, he said, he focused and was honored as King County’s Senior of the Year upon his graduation.

“It was the best experience I had, being in the smaller atmosphere and working with people that were on their last chances,” Newlun said.

“I got plenty of awards and worked with officials in King County.”

A role he figures to reprise in his latest endeavor.

By February 9th VOTE

Pacific Municipal Court Judge Stephen Rochon swore in Justin Newlun to the Pacific City Council on Monday night.

Newlun inherits Tren Walker’s term, which expires Dec. 31, 2017.

Research group calls Puget Sound Gateway project a ‘boondoggle’

City agrees to buy old Public Health building

BY ROBERT WHALE

FOR THE REPORTER

The state’s proposed Puget Sound Gateway project for Highway 167 and State Route 509 ranks as one of the 12 most wasteful highway expansion projects in the nation, according to a recent study by the United States Public Interest Research Group.

The new study details how despite America’s massive repair and maintenance backlog, and in defiance of America’s changing transportation needs, state governments across the country, including Washington state, continue to spend billions each year on new and wider highways, according to a Jan. 19 media release about the study.

The study shows how some of these highway projects are outright boondoggles.

“Washington state continues to prioritize wasteful highway expansion projects that fail to effectively address congestion while leaving our roads and bridges to crumble,” said Bruce Speight,

WashPIRG Foundation executive director. “This in turn saddles future generations with massive repair and maintenance backlogs that only grow more painful and expensive to fix the longer we wait to do so.”

The Puget Sound Gateway project will cost an estimated $2.8 billion and expand Highway 167 in Tacoma and State Route 509 from SeaTac to Kent at Interstate 5.

According to the most recent federal data, 22 percent of major roads in Washington state are in poor condition. However, the state continues to focus on highway expansion, spending an average of 84 percent of available funding on expansion and only 16 percent on repair. At the same time, transportation behavior is changing.

“The last thing that Washington needs now is another highway boondoggle,” said Clark WilliamsDerry, a senior researcher with the Seattle-based Sightline Institute.

January 29, 2016 [3]

City leaders on Monday voted unanimously to purchase the old Public Health building on Auburn Avenue North from King County.

Now the purchase and sale agreement returns to the King County Council for final action.

The contract is for $350,000, with an additional $75,000 budgeted for studies and repairs. The building is about 8,000 square feet and Lein has 20 parking spaces.

“The timing that we have received from King County’s Real Estate Department is that we should be getting King County Council approval in the next 90 days, and should close within 30 days after that,” said Economic Development Director Doug Lein.

Lein said that after the City began negotiations to acquire the building, its parks, arts and recreation department put a grant application into King County’s 4Culture for $250,000 to effect interior remodeling and additional upgrading.

Should the county say yes to the deal, the arts division of the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department expects to occupy most of the

building.

“So, it’s not only an opportunity to purchase but to have a nice outside cash flow to make the improvements we want. We are going to run some art space out of there,” Director of Administration Dana Hinman recently told the Auburn Reporter.

The greatest need the old building presents is roof repair and or replacement, but until the City owns the building lock, stock and barrel, it won’t be allowed to put anybody up on the roof to get the complete picture. But most likely the building will require repairs or some sort of replacement to the pitched part of the roof out front, which covers perhaps 20 percent of the entire roof area. Windows will need a bit of work, but the original floor can be saved.

Lein said the building has been vacant for close to seven years, but King County has kept the heat, the lights, and the air conditioning in working condition throughout that span.

“There’s been no mold found, and it’s really in amazing shape,” Lein said.

“It’s pretty much just what they did to it over the years with tenant improvements through the ’80s and ’70s.”

“Do we know how much of this

area is going to be devoted to the arts center?” asked Councilman Bob Baggett.

“Not really,” Lein responded. “I’m sure a percentage of it will be … probably 50 percent, I would guess, but there have been a number of plans and requests for space come in from different parts of the city, so it’s all under study and review.”

The building, which is on the national and state historical registries, started out in 1937 as the Auburn Post Office. King County acquired it in 1963 when the new post office was built on 3rd Street.

In 2009, King County put the Carnegie building up for sale on the open market.

At the time, the City, in its determination to lease the building, consistently reminded county leaders why Andrew Carnegie had built and donated it in the first place, and what he intended it to stay in perpetuity – a general community benefit.

King County’s asking price at the time was a bit more than what the City was offering to lease it for – the same one buck for which King County had acquired it.

“As most of you know, it has been the desire of the City Council and the City to own that building for several years, but the price was prohibitive,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “It started out three or four years ago at $900,000, and that was just not palatable to any of us who were on the council at that time.

And over the course of the last four years, I won’t say that we wore them down, but we wore them down, and King County has been very gracious as of late to allow us this purchase price of $350,000.”

It’s a whirlwind. It’s an honor.”

Seifert replied: “It’s an honor. … From this (scholarship program) you learn so much more about yourself, who you want to be and what you aspire to be.”

Werden and Seifert automatically qualify for the Miss Washington Pageant later this year. The Miss Auburn program, sponsored by the Auburn Noon Lions Club, is an official preliminary to the Miss Washington and Miss America scholarship pageants.

Arden McCarthy was firstrunner-up, Angela Suresh took second runner-up and Whitney Van Vlett finished as third runner-up from a field of nine Miss Auburn contestants.

Werden sang a moving rendition of “There’s Always Me” from the American jukebox musical, “All Shook Up”. She also shone when she carefully answered a “wild-card” question picked from a bowl and posed by 2015 Miss Auburn Morgan Warren during the onstage interview segment.

Who will you vote for this presidential election, Werden was asked.

“I turn 18 in June,” she said.

“I am going with Dr. Ben Carson.”

Werden ran on the platform of breast cancer awareness, a crusade made personal because her two grandmothers have faced the disease. The prognosis is good for both of them, she said.

Werden, who graduates with honors this spring, plans to pursue a communications degree with the thought of some-

day becoming a tour director at a museum or national park.

Werden, daughter of Tina and Max Werden, was sponsored by Don Small & Sons.

“I thought my chances were good … any one of us could have won the crown,” Werden said. “My confidence and my faith (pulled me through). I have strong faith and morals, and I stick to what I believe.”

In the teen competition, which attracted 10 contestants, Alexis Florence was first runner-up, followed by McKenna Webb (second runner-up) and Skylar Erickson (third runnerup).

But Seifert stood out.

A classically trained soprano, Seifert sang a rousing rendition of a Puccini opera selection during the talent segment last Friday night. She has been singing and playing the piano since she was young.

She competed on the platform of combating teen depression.

Seifert, daughter of Barbie and Mike Seifert, plans to study psychology and business in college. Auburn Chevrolet was her sponsor.

Miss Auburn contestants were scored and judged the following way: private interview 25 percent; lifestyle and fitness in swimsuit 15 percent; talent 35 percent; on-stage interview 5 percent; and evening wear 20 percent.

McCarthy and Jayni Bohannon earned People’s Choice Awards in a two-night vote from the audience. Proceeds from the $1 ballots went to the Auburn Food Bank. All told, the award generated $3,395 for the food bank.

STARS SHINE Clockwise, from top, Miss Auburn and Miss Auburn Teen contestants gather on stage to perform during the evening wear segment of the pageant last Saturday night. Lollipops in hand, the Little Sisters dance to the tune of Maroon 5’s “Sugar”. Arden McCarthy, first runner-up for Miss Auburn, delivers a punch line during her comedic monologue. Angela Suresh completes an Indian classical fusion dance for her talent segment.

OUR CORNER

“Should Pam Roach be removed from the state Senate?”

Dennis Box

?

Question of the week:

Rules are a funny thing.

Rules, laws and all the things our mothers told us we had to do often bring out late stages of lunacy. That is certainly not the case with me.

When it comes to rules I firmly believe we must clearly understand each rule and enforce all rules come what may.

Let me describe a scene that happened to me recently to illustrate my point about following and enforcing the rules.

I was getting ready to leave for one of the newspaper offices where I spend my days aggravating everyone within reach. I was late, but I wanted to make sure I took some food for the road. For some reason, when I am driving, I get hungry. I was grabbing stuff from the refrigerator and tossing it my bag when Yodie, the demon Yorkie, sidled up next to me, acting like she was my loyal companion for eternity.

Yodie is my daughter’s dog. Katy allows me the privilege of taking care of Yodie when it is time for my daughter to do fun things. I think I may have done something fun once, but I’m not sure. The word fun makes me twitch and see squiggly snakes floating around in front of my right eye.

I found an old carrot in the back drawer of my refrigerator. Finding old food like that always makes me feel like a rule follower.

Instead of tossing things out, I eat them. It’s like cleaning up my plate. Even if it makes me throw up a lot, I’m following rules because it says to in the big rule book.

I was basking in this warm, fuzzy tidiness when the demon struck. I saw her run off into the living room and immediately knew she had stolen my carrot.

Before she could reach her hidey hole I swooped in and grabbed my carrot from the furry fiend. I rushed back protecting my carrot and hid it in my bag.

What appears to be escaping Yodie’s cruddy cortex is I am vertically higher in the air. This is known as the rule of verticality, which means I get to be in charge. It is in the big rulebook. I have pointed this out to her numerous times and all I get is the look that says, “Aren’t I just the cutest little princess you’ve ever seen? Better say yes and give me a treat or I’m telling Katy and then – It’s off to the pecan factory for you.”

After securing my orange stick of yummy in my food bag and placing it on the couch, I went to get my coat while keeping a vigilant eye on the evil one. She sat on the couch looking all innocent and hurt.

Enough with tax increases, vote no on levy I see letters pro and con concerning our upcoming school levy. According to supporters, the levy replaces an expiring levy and won’t raise our taxes.

My property taxes went up more than 16 percent last year alone. Voting against the levy means next year’s 16-percent increase could be slightly lower. With such a large increase, there is no shortage of funds. Our legislators need to take money from one pocket and put it in the other pocket.

They make the laws, they can change funding sources.

Old folks who bought their homes 40 years ago and live on fixed incomes cannot afford this. Who cares if grandma and grandpa have to choose between food or medicine, as long as Billy can play sports and Suzy can play the violin at school?

Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday.

I’m not telling renters that voting no on the levy means your rent won’t increase. It will still increase, just not as much.

Landlords pass on tax increases to renters, in addition to the rising rents.

I plan to vote no on the levy.

We have to control our taxes.

How many people got a raise this year? Can you afford to

constantly keep paying more? I live on a budget. I can’t go ask for a raise every time I want more stuff. We need to live within our means.

I can picture myself retired in a few years, living in Florida with cheap housing and low taxes, sitting on my porch at sunset, sipping a cold beer. On a quiet night you can hear the Auburn homeowners, 3,000 miles away, squealing like a pig when they get their property tax bills in the mail.

[6] January 29, 2016 [ LEVY from page 1 ] in February. That means the new collection rate would begin midway through the 2016-17 school year. A simple majority of more than 50 percent is required to pass the levy.

If the measure fails, Spicciati said, the school district likely would rerun it in the April special election.

Property owners would pay an estimated $4.13 per $1,000 of assessed property value during the first year of the levy.

Actual levy rates will depend on whether property value projections by the King County auditor come to fruition. Those projections were used in calculating levy rate estimates.

The levy will collect $40.7 million in 2017, $43 million in 2018, $45.4 million in 2019 and $47.75 million in 2020. The total tax rate will remain level.

Estimated levy rates in 2018, 2019 and 2020 are $4.23, $4.34 and $4.43 per thousand.

Funds from the levy are used for all athletics and activities, special education, textbooks, supplies, counselors, nurses, grounds, building maintenance, honors and Advanced Placement education and transportation.

“We don’t feel we could do a sufficient special education program without levy dollars,�

Spicciati said.

Thirteen percent of levy funding is dedicated special education. Athletics and activities receive the same amount. Many school districts use revenues generated from participation fees at the middle and high schools to defray costs to play sports.

ASD does not. School board president Anne Baunach said her colleagues have discussed that numerous times, but they concluded that a pay-to-play system would prohibit some students from competing.

The majority of levy funds – 59 percent – are dedicated educational programs and operations. That includes additional teachers for a variety of programs and additional textbooks and supplies, among other educational tools in classrooms.

Cindi Blansfield, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and operations, said the levy is a significant component of ASD’s budget, which is about $195.2 million this school year.

Among eight districts within the county with measures on the Feb. 9 ballot, they were the only group to partner with a realtor in seeking our support. Clearly, they are well organized and recognize the value of involving key stakeholders in this campaign for critical funding.

Realtors understand the importance of supplementing state funding for basic classroom needs, but as homeowners and taxpayers, we are also concerned about the “return on investment.� Track records on academics and fiscal matters are also considered.

Residents in the Auburn School District should be proud of the district’s accomplishments in adapting to demographic shifts, particularly in serving the growing segment of English Language Learners and those facing economic challenges.

We are also impressed with the District’s strong career and technical education programs and its achievements in having an unprecedented number of historically underrepresented students succeeding in Advanced Placement courses.

What “is� really means In response to the Auburn Reporters’ online article, “Governor’s Clean Air Rule order draws Senatebill opposition�, Jan. 20: In using the term “carbon pollution,� Gov. Jay Inslee is using doublespeak. What the MerriamWebster dictionary defines as “language used to deceive usually through concealment or misrepresentation of truth.� “Carbon pollution� really means carbon dioxide (CO2), an invisible, odorless gas on which all life depends.

This is more than just an academic point. It is an example of how misleading language has poisoned the climate debate.

Calling CO2 “carbon pollution� encourages people to think of it as something dirty, like graphite or soot.

Calling CO2 by its proper name would help people remember that, regardless of its role in climate change, a topic of intense debate in the science community, it is really an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis.

Green River graduate receives Transforming Lives Award

[ LINDBLOOM from page 1 ] with a ribbon cutting ceremony, cake and tours of the facility.

The student union, which is named after the college’s first president, replaces the Lindbloom Student Center, which had outgrown its capacity since it was built in 1971.

The $32.2 million project was funded by the college and by a self-

this year.

Started in 2012, the Transforming Lives Awards program gives community college and technical schools in Washington the opportunity to nominate a current or former student whose life has been transformed by pursuing higher education at their institution.

As a winner of the award, Gonzalez gets $500 from ACT. Green River College’s Board of Trustees nominated Gonzalez for the award due in part to the example she sets for other students.

“The board is proud of the thousands of graduates who have earned degrees at Green River Community College,” Board of Trustees President Pete Lewis wrote in a nomination letter for Gonzalez. “We know that

Students played an important role in helping design the building, from providing input on what it should include, to the finishes in the building, to naming areas of the facility.

Students can relax in the Mount Tahoma Lounge or grab a bite to eat from Gator Grill, which will serve cafeteria meals, or the Daily Grind,

there are countless students who had transformative experiences and have found success at universities and in the work place because of their Green River education.

Angelica has distinguished herself in deciding to follow her passion for serving and helping others by advocating for social justice.”

Gonzalez isn’t the first Green River student to receive the Transforming Lives Award.

In 2013 former student Donald Fleming was given the honor.

Gonzalez attributed part of her success in college to the personalized support she received at Green River.

“I believe if I would have went in to a bigger university, I wouldn’t have done as well,” she said.

They can work out using weights or cardio machines in the Recreation and Athletic Center or shoot some hoops on the basketball court.

The building will house offices, including student life, diversity, equity and inclusion, athletics, conferences services and food services.

Construction on the facility began in the late fall of 2013.

of those monies would not start for six months, and during that time the board would be required to work with the Department of Licensing and Department of Revenue to set up the necessary protocols and procedures.

“So, people wouldn’t necessarily see it show up as a charge when they are licensing their vehicles for a minimum of six months, per state law,” Snyder said.

The agenda of the TBD meeting calls as well for approval of the TBD’s 2015 Annual Report.

The funding mechanism for local streets, Save Our Streets, is an entirely separate entity from the TBD. Its schedule for residential street fixes in 2016 includes the following: • F Street Southeast, from East Main Street to 4th Street Southeast: rebuild street, drainage and water, .24 miles, total cost $704,000.

• 21st Street Northeast, Auburn Way North to I Street Northeast: rebuild street and drainage, .1 miles, $271,000.

• 25th Street Southeast (M Street Southeast to R Street Southeast): rebuild street, drainage, water and perform an LID survey for sewer, .25 mile, $872,000.

[ CAR TABS from page 1 ] the City of Auburn, said Tuesday. “And what we are proposing for the board to consider in terms of how to spend that money is to focus it on street maintenance efforts for appropriatelyclassified roads.

“Under state law, we can’t spend it on every road type in the City. It generally has to be … collector or higher arterial roads in our city. So the roads that take more of the traffic would be the roads eligible. By state law, we can’t spend it on residential streets,” Snyder said.

The meeting is at 5 p.m. at Auburn City Hall.

The board, which the City Council formed in 2011, is composed of the mayor and members of the seven-person City Council, but under state law it is a separate entity from the City Council, with its own taxing authority, and the mayor is its chairperson. The boundaries of the district encompass Auburn’s current city limits.

Should the board decide to implement the $20 vehicle license fee, several steps would follow. That is, after the resolution action, the actual collection

Police arrest enraged Sohappy for burglary, assault

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Police say that after Muckleshoot Casino security ousted James Sohappy from the casino on Jan. 5, he burst into a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home near the casino, ran amok, assaulted the man, and later punched a police officer.

The King County Prosecutor on Jan. 8 charged the Auburn man, 24, with first-degree burglary and with third-degree assault of

a police officer.

Sohappy was arraigned Jan. 21 and pleaded not guilty. A case setting hearing is Feb. 3 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. In the meantime, Sohappy continues to cool his heels in King County jail on $25,000 bail.

Here is what happened, according to the Auburn Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause.

At about 11 p.m. on Jan. 5, Muckleshoot Casino

security asked a severelyinebriated Sohappy to leave. According to the police account, Sohappy then made his way on foot to the Green Tree Condos northeast of the casino and hopped the fence to get in.

Shortly afterward, according to the police account, a 74-year-old resident of the Green Tree Condos heard an unknown male causing a ruckus outside of a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment. The unknown male then pounded and kicked

Sen. Roach removed from task force REPORTER STAFF

State Sen. Pam Roach has been dismissed from a legislative task force on human trafficking after â&#x20AC;&#x153;numerous complaintsâ&#x20AC;? surfaced that she attacked and verbally abused victims of sex trafficking at a meeting last month.

In a letter sent Monday, Lt. Gov. Brad Owen said he was removing Roach, RSumner, from the task force after receiving complaints about her inappropriate conduct at a Dec. 14 bipartisan Human Trafficking Task Force meeting.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You attacked agency staff, persons both present and absent, stakeholders and persons who have miraculously survived being victims of trafficking,â&#x20AC;? Owen wrote in a letter obtained by the Auburn Reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Ś I am horrified that your abuse extended to the survivors of trafficking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among other fictions, you claimed that sexually trafficked and homeless youth are deliberately trying not to fit in with their families by tattooing their faces and getting pierc-

ings. Without any apparent basis you minimized the exploitation of sexually trafficked minors by alleging that they probably spend their money on drugs, and asked if the labor trafficked persons were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;illegals,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Finally, convinced that the guy outside was going to get in anyway, the resident opened the door and pepper sprayed him in the face to drive him back.

According to the police account, Sohappy burst in and ran around like a wild-

man, â&#x20AC;&#x153;damaging the walls and doors and puking.â&#x20AC;?

The unhappy resident later told police that Sohappy had assaulted him in some way when he was in the apartment, and that he, the resident, had struck Sohappy with a fire poker to incapacitate him.

Police received the residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for help at 11:45 p.m.

In the meantime, Sohap-

py returned to the casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage where a group of police officers was waiting for him. He tried to run away and assaulted one of the officers but was captured.

According to the police account, the elderly resident later positively identified Sohappy as the man who had burst into his apartment.

Sohappyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criminal history includes convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm, theft and possession of marijuana.

Guest conductor, composer join ASO for tribute concert

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Both have Northwest connections and worldwide reach. Both are humble, passionate professionals who enjoy sharing remarkable music.

Grammy-nominated guest conductor Alastair Willis and award-winning composer Daniel Ott come home this

weekend to join the Auburn Symphony Orchestra in a special, season-opening program that honors the city for its support of the symphony since its inception 20 years ago.

The orchestra – featuring Ott’s original score and Christina Siemens’ soloistic talent – performs symphonic concerts at the remodeled Auburn Performing Arts

Center, 702 Fourth St. NE. The concert, A World Premiere Tribute to Auburn, begins at 7 p.m.

Saturday and 2:30 p.m.

Sunday.

“The opportunity to work with musicians, not in the pit but in a concert situation, is something new to me,” said Willis, music director of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and

a frequent guest of Stewart Kershaw, ASO’s founding conductor and music director who retired last year after 19 years with the symphony. “I’m really excited. The music is terrific. … It will be a new old experience, I guess, when you consider the history and the musicians who I know and love so much.”

His recording of Ravel’s “L’Enfant et les Sortileges” with the Nashville Symphony and Opera for Naxos was Grammy nominated for Best Classical Album in 2009.

Born in Acton, Mass., Willis lived with his family in Moscow for five years before settling in Surrey, England. He received his bachelor’s degree with honors from England’s Bristol University, an education degree from Kingston University, and a masters of music degree from Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music.

Welcoming new patients at Franciscan Orthopedic Associates in Auburn!

CHI Franciscan Health is excited to expand its orthopedic services to the Auburn community.

Franciscan Orthopedic Associates and orthopedic surgeon, Leo Chough, MD, are now welcoming new patients.

Willis

1-year-old daughter live in Seattle, Willis’ adopted home for 16 years.

Asked to lead a reputable orchestra close to home, Willis jumped at the chance.

“I love working with musicians who are curious, open and eager and love what they do, which is the epitome of the PNB orchestra and the Auburn Symphony Orchestra,” Willis said. “What makes it extra special is when you connect with a community who’s also curious and open and eager to hear (the music).

And that’s what Stewart has created in Auburn.”

Willis and the orchestra welcome the opportunity to present the world premiere of Ott’s original score, “In Pieces”, which commemorates the city for its support of the arts. It is a pure, symphonic, 18-minute work performed in three movements. The work, which the Seattle Commissioning Club entrusted especially to the Auburn Symphony, is a reflective arrangement of optimistic and dark times in society.

Ravens clinch league title

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

RAVENS SECURE SECOND STRAIGHT WIN Quintin Bethea scored a game-high 24 points as Auburn Riverside won its second consecutive game, a 73-53 victory against Bonney Lake in a South Puget Sound League 3A boys basketball contest Tuesday.

Elsewhere: At Auburn Mountainview 52, Sumner 37: The Lions remained in a first-place tie in SPSL 3A behind 25 points from Ryan Lacey.

Auburn Mountainview (16-1, 10-1) hosts Lakes at 7 p.m. Friday before it plays again Tuesday at Peninsula in a contest that likely will determine the league champion. The Lions’ only league loss, 58-40, came Jan. 8 against the Seahawks.

At Auburn 72, Lakes 61: Tyler Pray and Jason Brown combined for 43 points as the Trojans remained in playoff contention.

HANG TIME

Auburn Mountainview’s Ryan Lacey scored a gamehigh 25 points as the Lions stayed in a first-place tie in South Puget Sound League 3A play with a 52-37 win Tuesday night against Sumner.

RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

As Auburn Riverside’s girls basketball coaches entered a silent locker room, they asked for more noise.

After all, the Ravens had clinched the South Puget Sound League 3A championship with a 50-24 win Tuesday night at Bonney Lake.

The mood inside might have appeared somber, but Auburn Riverside junior point guard McKenzi Williams, who scored a game-high 19 points, said that was only because a brief celebration already had concluded.

“Before he came in there, we were very excited,” said Williams, referring to coach Derek Pegram. “We had music going and were banging on lockers. We were super excited. We’ve been waiting for this moment all season.”

Pegram said it officially is the second consecutive league title for the Ravens (17-0 overall, 11-0 league) because the SPSL 3A does

not recognize head-to-head tiebreakers. That means that Auburn Riverside was the co-league champion last season with Sumner, even though the Ravens lost both games during the regular-season series.

Capturing the outright league championship against the Panthers (10-7, 8-3) was not as easy as the final score indicated.

Bonney Lake reduced its deficit to 22-20 midway through the third quarter on a basket by senior forward Emily Stonerock.

But Williams, who helped force 22 turnovers that fed steal-for-transition layups, helped Auburn Riverside finish the game on a 28-4 run.

“We started slower than we wanted to, but we always find a way to get it back,” Williams said. “We turned it up in the second half, locked down on defense and got it back.”

That followed a recent trend of slow starts. On Jan. 15, the Ravens faced an [ more HOOPS page 18 ]

[18] January 29, 2016 [ HOOPS from page 17 ] early 10-point deficit before rallying to defeat Sumner 55-43. Auburn Riverside also struggled from the outset against Auburn Mountainview before winning 52-35 on Jan. 19.

“We’ve got to get it out faster,” Williams said.

“We’re really good at finishing games, but we’ve got to pick it up from the start.

We’ve got to come out with more energy and lockdown from there.”

Pegram said he conveyed the importance of a fast start because it was the final regular-season game for five Bonney Lake seniors.

“My thing is when you go to someone else’s place and it’s senior night, you’ve got to jump on them early because it’s emotional,” he said. “We had a really good opportunity to do that because they had 14 points at halftime. We could’ve been up by a lot more. We had to go in there at halftime and

www.auburn-reporter.com rally them up a little bit.”

Even though the Ravens started slow after the intermission, Williams felt that was a turning point.

“I would say halftime was the most prominent one,” she said. “We just came in there before coach. It’s our choice if we want to win or not. We wanted to be backto-back champs, so that’s what we went out and did.”

Pegram and Williams agreed that started on the defensive end. Auburn Riverside held the Panthers scoreless in the fourth quarter.

“She plays amazing defense,” Pegram said of Williams. “She’s the most athletic kid on the court every time she steps on it. She makes really good passes, too. When our kids get open shots most of the time it’s because McKenzi got them that way.”

Or finished it herself.

Williams has always possessed elite speed – she was a sprinter on the Ravens’

track team as a freshman – but Pegram said she has learned to better use that advantage through experience.

“She really has improved with her left hand,” he said. “She gets girls twisted both ways, and she’s done a great job of finishing this year. When she goes to the bucket, in my mind, it’s two points without a doubt.”

And when Williams was not there to finish, 6-foot3 junior center Faith Turner was. She finished with 10 points. Pegram said Turner has improved significantly on the offensive end.

Williams agreed with that sentiment.

“With a big post like her and such a small guard like me … I know where I can find her,” she said. “I always know where she’s going to be. We’ve got very good chemistry because we’ve been playing together so long.”

Pegram said Turner has

a difficult task on one side because the Ravens play a 2-3 zone defense, which forces players to drive to the basket. Despite that, he said Turner plays “dynamite” defense and does a good job avoiding foul trouble.

Auburn Riverside has just three regular-season games left, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday at Peninsula.

They open the postseason on a to-be determined date at home against the sixthplace team from either the SPSL 3A or Narrows 3A. “It’s a comfort thing,” Pegram said. “We love to have our home crowd.”

Elsewhere Auburn Mountainview 64, at Sumner 45: Taylor Flores scored a game-high 18 points as the Lions (12-4, 8-3) moved into a tie for second place with Bonney Lake with the victory.

Lauren Short scored 10 points for Auburn Mountainview.

Auburn 41, at Lakes 39: Keilani Songcuan and Rebecca Thareek each scored 10 points as the Trojans (4-12, 1-10) earned their first league win.

WIAA honors Auburn Mountainview’s Flores as its athlete of the week The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has selected Auburn Mountainview freshman

Taylor Flores as one of its Athletes of the Week for her achievements in basketball.

Flores led the Lions with

a game-high 19 points Jan. 12 against Enumclaw.

Each week throughout the school year, the WIAA

recognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications.

COLLEGE BOUND Auburn Mountainview’s Malia Brudvik and Emilee Greve signed Jan. 22 to play soccer for coach Kanyon Anderson at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, the top-rated Northwest Athletic Assocation of Community Colleges team.

Brudvik and Greve, pictured bottom left and right, respectively, started playing soccer in second grade and have participated in the sport together for all but two of the past 11 years, when they competed for different club teams. Both athletes are four-year lettermen in soccer at Auburn Mountainview. In club soccer, Brudvik and Greve were voted Best XI in state cup.

Brudvik and Greve celebrated with, top from left, Auburn Mountainview principal Terri Herren and girls soccer coach Bryan Winkler.
