Car tab fee proposal tabled, for now City reports fewer BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
One Lea Hill resident urged the Transportation Benefit District Board (TBD) on Monday not to impose a $20 vehicle license fee on Auburn residents because, he said, even that amount would create a hardship for people who are already
struggling to make ends meet. While the TBD did not say no to enacting the car tab fee, it did put off a vote on the issue until City staff can present to it more information about all of the district’s street needs, all the possible transportation projects that could be funded, project time lines, distinctions between
street classifications. And until members have had a chance to study and digest the information. “I would like to see a little more information about the mix between collectors and major arterials,” said board member Rich Wagner, noting the types of street maintenance [ more FEE page 8 ]

FROM VISION TO REALITY Former student sees completion of Green River College’s new student union building
BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
As a student at Green River College, Chelsea Fletcher wanted a space on campus for students to gather outside of the classroom. Ten years later, her vision is a reality. Fletcher took part in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Mel Lindbloom Student Union on Monday at the college’s main campus in Auburn.
“Nearly a decade ago, I had a vision of a place where every student had a place to collaborate and connect with each other, a place that fostered a great sense of campus community and allowed learning, creativity and personal growth to really take root and thrive,” Fletcher said during the ceremony. “It’s here. It’s today. It’s now, and this is truly your space.” [ more LINDBLOOM page 6 ]

Y’s Alive & Free program helping at-risk youth BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Without gyms, pools or exercise equipment, the YMCA’s Alive & Free program for youth in gangs and caught up in the criminal justice system is a far cry from what people usually have in mind when they think of the Y. But it is no less vital for that. In 2015, the YMCA’s Alive & Free outreach program in South King County served 60 youngsters in Au-
burn. In so doing, the program, which the Metrocenter Branch of the YMCA of Greater Seattle launched in 2012, connected half of those kids with services like education, employment, internships and drug and alcohol counseling. The other 50 percent, Jovi Catena, director of the Alive & Free program, informed members of the Auburn City Council on Jan. 25 at City Hall, is still working with an outreach worker. “Sometimes it can take quite a long
time for a young person to change, but we stay with them as they work their change process, and their outreach worker helps guide them to meet their goals and overcome their barriers,� Catena said. Although the program partners directly with the City of Seattle, since 2012 it has forged partnerships with the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila. [ more PROGRAM page 18 ]

City receives grants for road projects BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Welcome aboard King County District Court Judge Matt Williams, far right, recently swore in new Auburn Police Officer Drew Foster, second from the left. Also at the ceremony were, Commander Dave Colglazier, far left, and Mayor Nancy Backus. COURTESY PHOTO
THE SOUND TRANSIT Board of Directors on Jan. 28 restored funding for the Auburn and Kent Sounder Station Access Improvement projects, paving the way to build more parking, pedestrian, bike and other improvements at two high-demand stations. Sounder commuter rail service operates 10 daily roundtrip trains Monday through Friday
between nine stations in Pierce and King counties. The board’s decision to restore funding for Kent and Auburn station access improvements comes as the agency prepares to add three round-trip trains to accommodate ridership growth. Sounder south riders will see a new mid-day train this fall and two peak-service roundtrips next year.
Through the Washington State Department of Transportation, the federal government has awarded the City of Auburn three grants with required local funding match percentages. On Monday, the Auburn City Council authorized Mayor Nancy Backus to accept the grants, as follows: • $750,000 to finance the design, environmental permitting, and construction phases of the Lake Tapps Parkway Preservation Project. This grant requires a 13.5 percent local funding match. This project will patch and overlay portions of the pavement on Lake Tapps Parkway Southeast from the western city limits to Lakeland Hills Way; • $817,500 to finance the design, environmental permitting, and construction phases of the 15th Street Northwest/Northeast Preservation Project. This
By February 9th VOTE
grant requires a 50 percent local funding match. This project will grind and overlay 15th Street NW/ NE from the Right of Way line of SR 167 to Auburn Way N; • Grind and overlay Harvey Road Northeast from Auburn Way North to 8th Street Northeast. The work will include
upgrading curb ramps to meet current ADA standards, as well as remove unused driveway openings as an upgrade to nonADA-compliant pedestrian facilities. Funding has been made available in the approved City budget to meet the local funding match requirements of each grant.

Last month, the King County Prosecutor formally charged 22-year-old Michael Austin McGrath of Auburn with one count of first-degree arson and four counts of seconddegree arson. On Monday, the Auburn man charged with setting a string of fires in Auburn between last September and early January on Monday pleaded not guilty to the crimes at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. Police arrested McGrath on Jan. 14 in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), the FBI, the Valley Regional Fire Authority and other agencies and brought him into custody hours after the reporting of two more north-end fires that had broken out within
15 minutes of each other. No one was injured in the most recent fires, which damaged a boat and an occupied home. Detectives later developed sufficient information to find probable cause to arrest a 16-year-old boy, who is McGrath’s cousin. Police said the boy was involved in at least six intentionally set fires, two of which targeted occupied residences. He was booked into the King County Juvenile Detention Center for first-degree arson. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to charge the youth as an adult. Both individuals worked together and separately on several arsons, police said. Auburn Police learned this information while trying to verify details obtained during McGrath’s arrest. Michael McGrath’s rap sheet includes past charges of second-degree burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, assault and harassment.

“Should the Transportation Benefit District impose a $20 car tab fee?”
COMMENTARY
?
Question of the week:
A Republican lawmaker wants to tax political campaigns and use the money to teach civics in schools and boost enforcement of the state’s election laws. The idea from state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, is to treat candidates, initiative campaigns and political committees — including those run by the Democratic and Republican parties — like small companies and require them to pay business taxes if they collect enough in contributions. He’s introduced Senate Bill 6232 to get it done. Eight senators, including Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, are cosponsors. “What better and more popular thing to tax than politicians”, Fain told the Senate education committee at a recent hearing. Fain didn’t get quizzed on whether it’s even legal to tax political activity in this manner. If somehow it could be done, however, this is a good year to make money in this manner. Elections attract big sums of money, especially this year when voters will cast ballots for a president, U.S. senator, 10 members of Congress and a governor. Also, every seat in the state House and about half of those in the Senate are on the ballot, though not Fain’s. Four years ago, contributions totaled $166.1 million, according to records compiled by the state Public Disclosure Commission. Candidates hauled in $61.5 million, and committees took in $104.6 million. The tally doesn’t take into account federal races, which Fain’s bill aims to do. Here’s how it would work. Washington imposes a business and occupation tax — B&O for short — on the gross receipts of business activities conducted within the state. Fain’s bill would apply the rules to campaigns and committees. There is a threshold. A company will owe taxes if its receipts — or contributions in the case of a candidate — exceed $56,000 in a calendar year. An analysis by the Department of Revenue estimates this would result in 2,000 new taxpayers, generate $937,000 for the state in the fiscal year that starts July 1 and $1.6 million in the next budget. Fain’s bill would steer part of the revenues to the Secretary of State’s office to develop a curriculum for teaching civics to students in secondary schools and colleges. “Why is this not an obvious one to do, especially when you can use the money to give us a civically literate society,” Fain said. Another chunk would go to the Public Disclosure Commission to bolster its ability to investigate campaign complaints. Though it seems unlikely this bill will reach the governor’s desk, it is still moving in that direction. There’s no organized opposition. Maybe that’s because, as Fain said, there’s not a more deserving group to tax than politicians.
O L ET TERS...YOUR OPINION COUNTS: To submit an item or photo: email submissions@auburn-reporter.com; mail attn: Letters, Auburn Reporter, 19426 68th Ave. S., Kent, WA, 98032; fax 253.833.0254.
Nothing ‘level’ about my taxes I really have to agree with the writer of the letter to the editor in the Jan. 29 issue of the Auburn Reporter titled, “Enough with tax increases, vote no on levy”. The school district says that the projected school tax rate will remain level. The key word is “projected” as from 2012 to 2015 the projections have been under estimated by about an 11 percent average resulting in higher taxes than voted on. It appears that “level” is a euphemism for higher. Out of the 20 school districts in King County, Auburn has the third-highest school property tax rate, helping to ensure that King County continues to maintain its record as having the highest property tax rate in Washington.
Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. In 2013, my school taxes were $1,026, in 2015 they were $1,308, about a 27 percent increase. Maybe the tax rate was supposed to be level but my tax is sure a lot higher, and with the property values surging the property taxes will
increase even more. To make matters even worse, Puget Sound Transit is considering a $15 billion transportation levy in 2016 that, if passed, would require a $.25/1,000 accessed value on property, a .5 percent increase in sales tax (we now pay 9.5 percent in Auburn) and a motor vehicle excise tax of $80 annually for each $10,000 of vehicle value. The transit levy hasn’t been finalized yet but the specter of these draconian additional taxes is looming over all Auburn residents. Remember, voters approved a $17.8 billion tax package for Sound Transit in 2008. Oh yeah, just read this morning in the Auburn Reporter that the City of Auburn wants to impose a $20 car fee tab for road repair. – Chester H. Wells Jr.
Fain honored Animals in Washington state have more protections today thanks to passage of animal cruelty prevention laws in 2015, sponsored by Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, who recently was recognized as Washington's Legislator of the Year by the Humane Society of the United States. “Animals deserve the same protection, respect and compassion that they provide us," Fain said. The Animal Cruelty Prevention Act went into effect in July 2015, and expanding first-degree animal cruelty charges, increasing protections against animal fighting and prohibition of the unsafe confinement of animals in cars while making it easier for first responders to rescue them.

[6] February 5, 2016 [ LINDBLOOM from page 1 ] The 65,000-square-foot facility replaces the aging Lindbloom Student Center. “I felt like the old building was a bit more constrictive,” Fletcher said in an interview. “Just the architecture of it and the capacity didn’t have that kind of feel any more. This (new building) is really just taking Green River into a new era.” After touring the new student union, Fletcher, who was chief justice for Green River’s student body while attending the college, said she was impressed. “It is more than I ever imagined when sitting down a decade ago with

I love that there are dedicated spaces for people to just gather and be together. “I am just incredibly impressed with all the hard work that went into this. I didn’t think that it would take off, and it did. Now that it is actually here, I am incredibly proud.” Fletcher, who graduated from Green River in 2007 and lives in Tacoma, said she wishes she were still a Green River student so she could use the new facility. “It does make me want to

Open for events Green River College’s Mel Lindbloom Student Union, which opened on Monday, is available to rent for weddings, corporate events, fundraisers and other functions. The conference services and food service offices have moved to the new facility from the Lindbloom Student Center, which had been used for events. The college hosts the fifth annual My Wedding My Way wedding fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 5, in the student union on the college’s main campus, 12401 SE 320th St., Auburn. The free event is open to the public and includes vendors, food tastings, entertainment and a man cave. For more information, call 253-333-6010 or visit greenriver.edu/conference.
come back and play a bigger role in the Green River community,” she said. The $32 million facility is funded by the college and a self-imposed fee on students. Students started paying the fee of $20 per quarter in 2007, which increased to $45 quarterly. “This truly is a building for students, built by students,” said Dani Chang, Green River’s dean of student life. Mel Lindbloom, the college’s first president and the student union’s name sake,
Room to play: Students fill the Recreation and Athletic Center gym, part of the new 65,000-square-foot Mel Lindbloom Student Union on the Green River College campus. The $32 million complex officially opened Monday. HEIDI SANDERS, Reporter attended the ribbon cutting. Lindbloom said he is honored the new building will carry on his name. “You folks, the Green River College community, have a way of making an old man feel proud,” he said. He said he was pleased by the students’ willingness to help fund a new student union. “In 1971 when we opened the student center, we finally had a place for students, student services, student activities, community activities,” he said. “It
served a tremendous need at the time.” The campus has changed a lot since it opened in 1965, Lindbloom said. “As I stand here and look around the campus, it is really hard for me to believe this all happened,” he said. “We had one building when we opened.” Lindbloom and Fletcher cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the new facility. Members of the Muckleshoot Canoe Family blessed the new facility. Following the ceremony, students, staff and guests

ventured inside for cake and tours of the building. Students were eager to explore the student union. They made themselves at home, grabbing a bite to eat from Gator Grill or the Daily Grind Coffee shop. They gathered around tables and chairs, studying or talking to friends. Some played pool in the Evergreen Lounge while others shot hoops or played ping-pong in the new Recreation and Athletic Center gym. The Paper Tree Bookstore, student government and student life offices, as well as the office of diversity, equity and inclusion, have moved to the student union. The building features a gender-inclusive restroom, which has eight stalls with full-length, locking doors and six sinks, anyone can use it regardless of gender. There are also men’s and women’s restrooms in the facility. Second-year student Aiesha Morrison-Screen of SeaTac wandered around the new building on Monday. “It’s wonderful,” she said. Paying an additional fee each quarter to fund the facility doesn’t bother Morrison-Screen. “It is worth it to see my money at work,” she said. Morrison-Screen said she’ll probably spend a lot of time in the student union. “I kind of like people watching,” she said. The former student center, which is now called the Student Affairs and Success Center, will undergo two phases of renovations to become a one-stop shop for student services.

[ FEE from page 1 ] projects the car tab fee would be created to fund. Auburn’s five-year-old, state-authorized, City Council-created TBD is a quasi-municipal corporation to which the state has given authority to tax residents within its boundaries to fund transportation improvements without a public vote.
Although it is composed of the seven members of the city council and the mayor, legally speaking, the TBD and the city council are completely separate entities. Should the board implement the car tab fee, said Kevin Snyder, director of community development and public works for the City of Auburn, City staff expect it to raise about $800,000 an-
nually to help cover the costs of maintaining arterial and collector roads. Minus administrative costs, Snyder estimated that would leave about $750,000 to put toward transportation projects. “By state law, we can’t spend it on residential streets,� Snyder said. Today, the City of Auburn spends about $1.5 to $2 million
annually on its arterial street preservation program. Maintenance of residential streets, however, falls under the auspices of the separate Save Our Streets program. Should the board approve the car tab fee resolution, collection of revenue would not start for six months. 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. Later, the City could choose to subsume the TBD and take over management of such transportation projects as are funded by the car tab revenues or it could dissolve the board. more story online‌ auburn-reporter.com

Remembering a crew, a commander 30 years later “It’s really a remarkable collection, and the mural … it doesn’t feel like that history museum that was set in time,” Auburn School District Superintendent Alan Spicciati said. “It’s evolving and it’s alive. It’s a great connection of history and education in the future. “Commander Scobee probably was the most prominent graduate of our school district and has obviously inspired many generations now.”
True to its name, school honors astronaut’s legacy BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
While a hallway inside Dick Scobee Elementary displayed a collection of artifacts and artwork to commemorate its namesake, the focus was not on the 30th anniversary of his death. It was on his legacy. On Jan. 28, 1986, Dick Scobee and six other crew members were killed aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger, which suffered catastrophic booster failure during launch and exploded 73 seconds into flight. So every Jan. 28, the school in the city where Scobee spent most of his childhood hosts an open house offering tours, NASA memorabilia and student presentations, followed by a reception and a memorial video in the gym. Scobee’s younger brother, Jim, remembers his sibling as a goal-setter who accomplished his mission through determination and perseverance. “As far as I know, my brother is the only astronaut who has worked his way up through the ranks,” he said, noting that his brother served in the Air Force before he went to college and became a test pilot astronaut. “A lot of them … graduated from college, did their profession and then became an astronaut.” In a short speech last Thursday,
‘Eyes on the Stars’
Space history: Ryan Pate and his son Luke, 8, a student at Dick Scobee Elementary School, check out a model of the Space Shuttle during an open house at the school on the 30th anniversary of the Challenger’s disaster. Below, a portrait of Dick Scobee and one of his suits are part of a display. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter Scobee told students they also can be successful. “You are our future doctors, lawyers, astronauts,” he said. “You might be the one that cures cancer forever. Just remember whatever
you dream, you can accomplish; it takes hard work.” That also could describe the effort that staff and students at the school have invested into the hallway museum throughout the years. Two years ago, thirdgrade students colored a collage of Scobee.
Glenn Jenkins, a fourth-grade teacher at Dick Scobee, said his students have viewed footage of the Challenger disaster along with a short Internet cartoon of fellow astronaut Ronald McNair, which shows him as a 9-year-old visiting a library in segregated rural South Carolina. The video, titled “Eyes on the Stars,” narrated by McNair’s brother, Carl, details his interest in “Star Trek,” which helped fuel his desire to become an astronaut. Based on that, Jenkins said, all of his students agreed that McNair still would board Challenger even if he knew he would die. “They were able to see that it’s more about perseverance and being diligent and persistent, even though something typically would normally happen bad that
you would continue on,” he said. With those attributes in mind, Jenkins helped mentor four of his students to serve as tour guides through the museum. “It takes a lot of courage to stand up and talk with adults,” Jenkins said. “I’m really proud of them.” Lilian Siegel who was among the tour guides, said she has learned from studying Scobee and his colleagues. “It takes a lot of courage for an astronaut to go up into space because they usually know that they might not come back,” Siegel said. Scobee, who estimates he has only missed two assemblies honoring his brother over the years, said he appreciates the “incredible amount of work” that is invested into the event, which includes an afternoon version. “This school is absolutely wonderful,” he said. “It means a lot to the family because we also consider this school, the teachers, and the principal as extended family. They’re always welcome, and they always welcome us. “It’s all uplifting. There’s no downside other than he’s not sitting next to me.”

[ LITTLE from page 1 ] But the teen proved resolute, refusing to give up on himself. The turning point came when the 15-year-old boy found his mother unconscious, foaming at the mouth, with drugs nearby. His mom would recover, but Little had seen enough. He called for help. “CPS (Child Protection Services) told me there was nothing they could do for me,” Little recalled, “so they gave me the number for the Severson House.” A place Little would come to call home. The Auburn Youth Resources’ transitional living home gave him structure and the means to succeed in life. “They were instrumental in giving me shelter and discipline,” Little said. “They just showed me there was a different way of life. … Without them, I would have followed the wrong crowd. Without them, I wouldn’t be here where I am today.” With a stable foundation, AYR helped point Little in a new direction. Little, 27, shares his personal comeback story as the keynote speaker at AYR’s 25th annual AYR Valentine Breakfast Fundraiser at 6:30

AYR, a nonprofit agency, continues its important work today as a fully accredited, regional mental health and substance abuse counseling, youth and young adult residential center serving South King and North Pierce counties. “He’s our success story. This is what we can do,” said Michael Jackson, AYR development director. “With the proper resources, every child who walks through our door can be Chris Little. … If you don’t give up on yourself, if you do the things that are necessary, you can end up like Chris. He’s our shining example.” While his brothers stayed in a group home and later found their way, Little did one better. He excelled in the classroom and graduated from Auburn High
School. The Auburn man went on to earn a degree in microbiology from the University of Washington last June. He plans to apply for medical school in September. His mother, meanwhile, has reassembled her life through rehab. Little frequently sees her. “She’s still my mom,” Little said. “I don’t look up to her like a normal mother figure, but she is still a part of my life.” A life that includes dreams of becoming a doctor. Before returning to school, Little worked for airlines and travelled abroad, to impoverished countries where his saw his friends perform outreach. During those trips he saw doctors treat the less fortunate. “It helped me find myself and what I wanted to do,” Little said. He vows to help others the way others have helped him. “I know what it’s like to need that help and not have it,” Little said. “That’s a life goal of mine: just to be able to give back the way people have taken care of me.”

RAVENS, LIONS CONTINUE WINNING WAYS Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview maintained the top two places in South Puget Sound League 3A play with dominant wins Tuesday night. The Ravens defeated Lakes 62-22 behind Olivia Denton’s 21 points. McKenzi Williams scored 17 points for Auburn Riverside (19-0 overall, 13-0 league). Meanwhile, the Lions beat Peninsula 66-34. No other details were reported for Auburn Mountainview (14-4, 10-3). Auburn guard Tyler Pray scores most of his points using his ability to drive to the hoop rather than by his outside shooting ability. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter
Consider it reverse psychology. At least that is how it feels when Auburn’s Tyler Pray removes his warmup gear to unveil a jersey that features No. 3 on his back. Even though coach Ryan Hansen selected that jersey for Pray – one that is synonymous with perimeter shooting threats – he wants his senior guard hoisting fewer basketballs from the perimeter. “Occasionally, he kind of falls in love with his shot a little bit from the perimeter,” Hansen said. “We want him playing to his strengths, which is getting to the rim. He has a knack for getting to the basket, and that’s kind of his strength. He’s a slasher type.” Pray has not resisted the plan. “I try to be unselfish and crash the boards,” Pray said. “Let the game come to me. Don’t force stuff. Drive hard and get fouls.” It is an offensive philoso-
phy that’s uncommon among shooting guards, many of whom prefer to show their prowess from beyond the arc, but it can be effective. Sarunas Marciulionis used a slashing style to build a Hall of Fame career before he combined that skill with an ability to convert 3-pointers at a stronger rate late in his career. Pray was not born when Marciulionis retired in 1997, but he is familiar with his play. “I can relate to him a lot,” he said. “That’s most of my game.” That does not mean Pray cannot convert the 3-pointer. Hansen just does not want it to be a staple of his game. “We’re trying to limit his 3s, and when doing that, he’s shooting a much higher percentage this year,” he said. Pray attributes some of his development to playing for Friends of Hoop Seattle on the AAU circuit. He said he was able to play against some of the best talent on the West Coast during a summer tournament in Las Vegas. [ more PRAY page 13 ]

Lions move into first place cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
The pregame festivities were reserved to honor the graduating seniors at Peninsula. But the celebration afterward was all about Auburn Mountainview as the Lions moved into sole possession of first place in South Puget Sound League 3A with a 59-41 boys basketball victory Tuesday night against the Seahawks. “It’s honestly a dream come true, especially to beat a good team like Peninsula,” said senior guard Ryan Lacey, adding that he knows Auburn Mountainview still must win Friday in its regular-season finale to secure sole possession of the league title. Tipoff is
[ PRAY from page 12 ] Unlike many of those players, Pray took a respite from the sport during the fall when he played tight end for the Trojans’ football team. Despite that, Hansen said it did not take long for Pray to regain his form. “Tyler’s having a really good year for us, and a lot of it has to do with his practice habits every day,” he said. “He practices really hard and it’s translating into games.” Hansen said Pray plays a valuable leadership role, even on a squad with 10 seniors. “He sets the standard with his practice habits,” he said. “Other guys kind of have to follow suit a little bit. He’s vocal and other kids respect him. He’s a third-year varsity kid for us now, and he kind of understands the expectations.” Pray hopes that experience continues. Auburn entered the week tied for
7 p.m. “For us to have the league title over them is amazing.” The Lions (18-1 overall, 12-1 league) made it look easy early. After Oregon State commit JaQuori McLaughlin opened the game with a 3-pointer, Auburn Mountainview scored 13 unanswered points, capped by a Lacey drive with 3:10 minutes left in the first quarter. Lacey, who finished with a game-high 28 points, said he was frustrated with his performance in a 58-40 loss Jan. 8 against Peninsula and vowed to get his teammates more involved in the rematch. “The first time we played them, I forced a lot things,” he said. “I tried to do a little too much.” There were other ele-
ments that worked in Auburn Mountainview’s favor. The Seahawks’ 6-foot-9 center, Jimmy Ritchie, was sidelined because of an injury. But Peninsula (17-2, 11-2) also hurt itself in a variety of ways. The Seahawks reduced their deficit to 25-21 at halftime, but they only converted 2 of 12 free throws during the first 16 minutes. Peninsula twice reduced its deficit to four points in the second half before the Lions took advantage of a pair of critical errors to rebuild their lead. The first came with 1:32 left in the third quarter when the Seahawks were assessed with an intentional foul on a Lacey breakaway. Lacey split the free throws and
the league’s sixth – and final – playoff spot with a 4-8 record in SPSL 3A. “It’s a really tough league,” Pray said. “There’s no slacking off. We’ve got to go hard every game.” Regardless of the outcome, these likely will be the last basketball games Pray plays for a school. That does not mean he plans to stray too far from the sideline. “I like being in athletics,” he said, adding that he plans to pursue a degree in athletic medicine at Wash-
ington State University. “I played so long that I want to still be around it.”

then made a 3-pointer to give Auburn Mountainview a 43-35 lead. The latter miscue occurred with 6:32 remaining in the fourth quarter when Peninsula senior center Josh Keough missed a dunk and hung onto the rim in an apparent putback attempt. Keough was assessed a technical foul and Lacey

[18] February 5, 2016 [ PROGRAM from page 2 ] Jovi noted that while Auburn has one outreach worker who is dedicated to working with young people, that person acts in partnership with other teams of outreach workers and with the Auburn School District and criminal justice system. Jovi said Alive & Free works with King County Juvenile Court to run a three-run program that’s all about preventing youth from becoming the subjects of warrants for their arrest. This program, in partnership with a federal grant, is aimed at young people who may live at some
www.auburn-reporter.com distance from court or who may not even know they have a court date, perhaps because their letter was sent to their former address. “We go out and locate the young people and let them know that they have a court date,” Jovi said. “We also support them and their family through that process, including arranging transportation for them. Young people in 2015 who participated in that program … have one-quarter fewer warrants than kids who did not. We have a treatment group and a non-treatment group because it’s an evaluative project. We’re really proud of our ability to help young
people stay out of detainment.” Alive & Free has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Auburn School District that allows it to find young people at school. “A lot of times when we are looking for a young person, that’s the first place we’ll try,” Jovi said. “Other times kids are truant, but working with schools has allowed us to receive referrals directly from concerned principals, or counselors, or teachers who have young people whom they believe are involved in gangs or violence, and they want some support in helping that young person.” Auburn Police Commander
Jamie Sidell said the programs and services Alive & Free offers appeal to police. “It’s long term and it’s ongoing; it’s not just a service-type program,” Sidell said. “Kids from Auburn, for example, who go to Renton, the services … go with that person. They don’t have to be reintroduced to a whole other set of services. That is very appealing to us because during that same process the outreach workers and the team involve the youth’s parents and guardians as well. It’s a holistic approach to get to the root cause of what’s going on.” David Lujano was involved in
gang related activity in his youth, which finally put him in jail. Today, Lujano has put his life on track. Having begun as an outreach worker with the Alive & Free program at its inception, he is today the supervisor for the program in South King County. “At first, as with any youth program, a lot of people had a lot of questions, but I think that we are rooted enough to prove that our program helps young people to move along in life and to stay in school,” Lujano said.

Jim Webb is all smiles at his 90th birthday party. Below, Webb holds a photo of himself, as an 18-year-old Navy sailor. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
Webb: ’I’ve lived a good life’ Jim Webb says he has no secret to longevity, only the overwhelming support of a large family and many friends. “I’m lucky to have a family like this,� Webb said at his 90th birthday party at the Auburn Eagles Aerie last Saturday. “I’ve lived a good life.� About 100 family members and friends gathered at the hall to share stories, laughter, food and drink and a big cake. Born in a log cabin on Feb. 1, 1926 in Belfry, Mont., Webb was raised on a farm during the Depression. He served in the U.S.
Navy from 1944-46, assigned to the South Pacific fleet during World War II. Webb lived in Auburn for more than 50 years. He worked at Boeing for 22 years, Smith Brothers Farms for 10 more. He also raised cattle and sold beef
and milk from his farm. He and Betty, his wife of 63 years, raised nine children, eight of whom are living today. He has 25 grandchildren, 26 greatgrandchildren and seven great-greatgrandchildren. Many of his immediate and extended family live in the Auburn area. “He’s full of life and he’s so much fun,� said Nancy Church, Webb’s daughter. “He loves all of us kids and grand kids enormously. I wouldn’t want any other dad. He’s just special.� – Mark Klaas
