On any sunny Saturday, the skate park at Lea Hill Park is a happening place.

This past Saturday, how-ever, the click of polyurethane wheels and the clack of wooden skate boards against concrete

resounded for reasons other than pure recreation.

In fact, it was the Auburn Mountainview Adaptive Behav-ior Skate Club’s first ever skate competition.

On the ramps and concrete a couple dozen skaters per-formed, vying for a handful of

prizes, including skate boards and trophies.

“We put this together, we had parents donate all the food and All-A-Board (Skateshop in Puy-allup) donated all the items and prizes,” said Julie Sohlstrom, who oversees the program

Police explain tactics in report BY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Retired cop John Holman wanted to know what the Auburn Police De-partment’s policy was regarding the controversial “lateral, vascular neck restraint,” given that Auburn’s officers

used the technique 14 times on people in 2014.

Also, he asked, what sort of training and retraining do police get before they can use the restraint?

Claude DaCorsi wondered how the

department’s use of the Taser mea-sured up to that other jurisdictions and how many times it’s been used “is unique to Auburn.”

City Councilmembers directed questions at Police Cmdr. Steve Stocker on Monday evening upon being allowed for the first time ever to see and hear information contained in two annual reports: “The Annual Response to Resistance Summary” and the “Annual Commendations,

BUNNIES AND BLOCKS

BY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier admits she got a little emotional presenting the 2015 Pacific Citizen of the Year Award this past Saturday.

Guier honored Ann Smith for her efforts as president of Pacific Part-nerships at the Citizen’s Appreciation Dinner in the Pacific Gymnasium. Smith and her organization put on the City’s annual events, such as Pacific Days, the City Hall Tree Lighting and the Earth Day event.

“One of the things brought up in one of the letters that nominated her really choked me up,” Guier said. “It mentioned how when she was battling throat cancer (four years ago) and going to chemo-therapy, she only missed two days. I remember because I was her ride to chemotherapy (treatments). And it brought me back to how upbeat she was when she was going through that. She is cancer-free now.”

Smith, a founding mem-ber of Pacific Partnerships,

was chosen Citizen of the Year by a committee made up of City Councilmember

Stacy Oliveira, business owner Tracy Larson and Jeanne Fancher, last year’s

Citizen of the Year and community journalist.

“She’s played a huge role in events like Pacific Days,” Guier said. “In fact, she takes a week off every year to put that on, then recuperates.”

Smith said her “legs went weak” when she found out she was being honored at the dinner.

“I was totally shocked,” she said. “I had no idea I was even nominated. I had no clue at all.”

Smith was honored with a plaque. She also will serve as grand marshal for the Pacific Days Parade.

“I joked around with her because she’ll have to work on organizing the event while she’s riding in the parade this year,” Guier said.

Smith said she’s already working on that problem.

“I may have to take my bike to the park, get set up and then bike real fast down to Alpac Elementary (School), where the parade starts, to get ready.”

Smith, who moved to Pacific from Puyallup in 2003, said her work with Pacific Partnerships is an important part of her appreciation for the com-munity.

“Why I spend so much time (working) is Pacific is home to me,” she said. “I love the small-town feel-ing, and anything I can to promote what a wonderful place Pacific is, I want to do that. I want to make it the best place to live.”

Pacific Days returns July 10-12. Earth Day cleanup is April 25.

is chairman of the council study sessions, which as of Jan. 1, 2015 replaced the committee system, and a member of the Seattle King County Economic Develop-ment Board.

Underneath the titles, Holman is a careful scholar of all things city-related, brimming with facts and figures about what has worked and what hasn’t worked elsewhere.

“What inspired me to run in the first place was that we were in the middle of the great recession,” Holman said. “I have always felt that when you are in a depres-sion, that’s the time to start building public infrastruc-ture so that when inevitably you come out of the reces-sion, you are ready to go, you are leading the pack. Well, it took a lot longer to get out of the recession than anybody had thought, but we’re out now.”

Having said that, he produced from his pocket financial figures for 2014 that in tidy columns show that Auburn is within $20,000 of where it was at the beginning of the great recession, evidence, he says

of smart fiscal management unmatched by any other cities.

“We’re leading the pack, so it’s time to get on the front of that wave and capitalize on it,” Holman said. “When you want to measure the performance of a city, you measure it by growth, by how many jobs you create and by how innovative you are,” Holman said.

Challenges of growthGrowth, Holman said, is

about more than just num-bers, and as it is inevitable, the thing is to decide what kind of growth it will be: unorganized growth, or smart growth, wise growth, quality growth. What voters are likely to hear him talk about this election season is helping the City smartly manage its inevitable growth from the city of 74,000 people today to the 100,000-plus demographers expect within 10 to 20 years.

“I want to have a com-munity that my children and grandchildren will want to live in and work in. To get that, the growth has to be reasonable and enjoy-able, and the city has to be

a good place to live in, an interesting place to live in, a bit edgy, a place that makes your soul feel good. If your kids don’t have that, they’ll move away.

“More important, they have to have a good job. If they can’t work here, they’re not going to live here. It’s a lot like prospecting: we can go out and look for the gold mine business, the one in a million … It could happen, you should never dismiss the home run. But there’s also small ball, taking our existing businesses and let-ting them grow and become more prosperous, so that you take a business that em-ploys six people today and do what you can to make it an employer of 10 people … I want to be a champion of that.”

Superior Court in Kent last Friday but wasn’t charged with any crimes. He was released pending an ongoing investigation, King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office spokes-person Dan Dono-hoe said.

Gaskill allegedly took more than $7,000 from the Sumner, Pacific and Algona Police Explorer fund, ac-cording to Algona Mayor Dave Hill.

If charged and found guilty of theft in the first degree, Gaskill could face up to 10 years in jail and $20,000 in fines.

“About six weeks ago there were some matters brought to my attention, and we started an admin-istrative investigation (of Gaskill),” Hill said.

Hill said the City im-mediately demoted Gaskill from his position as interim police chief, which he had held from April 2014 to February 2015. A few days later, Gaskill, who has been a member of the Algona Police Depart-ment for more than seven years, was placed on paid administrative leave.

“It come to our attention that there were some ir-regularities in the funds of

the Explorer post that he had control of,” Hill said.

The Explorer Program, which has been active in Algona since March of 2008, is funded by dona-tions and staffed by volun-teers. It provides youth an opportunity to get a taste

of what a career in law enforcement is like.

One of the duties of Algona’s police chief is to serve as Explorer president, which includes ad-ministering the bank account.

Hill said he imme-diately contacted the KSO, which began its investiga-tion, that resulted in the arrest.

Although Hill said that Gaskill didn’t have access to any of the City’s other financial accounts, the KCSO investigation is ongoing, as is another investigation by a private investigator hired by the City.

Hill said the whole pro-cess started when a City employee informed him of alleged wrongdoing by Gaskill.

“They brought other things than the money to my attention,” Hill said. “It was in processing the in-formation that the money issue came forward.”

Hill declined to com-

ment on what the other items brought up by the city employee were but said they involved “admin-istrative rules not being followed.”

Hill added that since the investigation began several police department employees have also come forward with other in-stances of rules not being followed.

“If taken as a single incident, they all would be relatively minor,” Hill said. “It’s when you take them as a whole that they become a concern.”

Although Gaskill was initially placed on paid administrative leave, Hill said he’s also been on FMLA leave during the last six weeks, and his status is “uncertain.”

“(March 25 was) the culmination of six weeks of oversight on this inves-tigation,” Hill said. “The start of all this was a rela-tively innocuous concern. Then it turned into a new revelation each day.”

Hill continued:“What I’m really trying

to stress in meeting with all the press is the key message that we’re a very open City, and we’re not going to try to hide any-thing or avoid following through on this. We want to see it’s handled fairly and properly.”

Auburn Riverside’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics RAVE Team 5683 members, shown above, work on their robot at this past weekend’s Auburn Pacific Northwest District qualifying event at Auburn High School.

The first-year Auburn Riverside team finished 13th, earning a berth in this week’s 61-team Pacific Northwest Championships at Eastern Washington University’s Reece Court in Cheney. RAVE Team 5683 also earned the Rookie All-Star award.

Also qualifying for the PNW District was Auburn’s TREAD Team 3219, which

earned the District Chairman’s Award. TREAD was 18th overall.

Previously qualifying for the PNW District event was Auburn Mountain-view’s Team 2907 Lion Robotics, which made the cut at the school’s qualifying event on Feb. 26. Team 2907 is ranked 20th in the PNW District.

The FIRST Robotics competitions are an annual event that challenges high school students to become more involved in technology and science by designing a robot to perform a specific task.

This year’s game, called Recycle Rush, simulates litter recycling and pickup.

Natalie Eldridge, a fresh-man at White River High School, recently spent a week as a page for the Washington State Senate at the Capitol in Olympia. Eldridge was one of 14 students who served as Sen-ate pages for the ninth week of the legislative session.

Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, 31st District and president pro tempore of the Senate, spon-sored Eldridge.

“I thought it’d be really fun,” Eldridge said. “I liked being on the floor. It’s really cool to see how they make bills and I was surprised at how they were voted on.”

She said her favorite part was delivering messages to senators.

Students interested in the program are encouraged to visit leg.wa.gov/Senate/Ad-ministration/PageProgram/.

Special duty in Olympia

Feeling left out on linkup

I have lived in Algona for 25 years and have a problem with the CenturyLink phone company.

I get my computer hookup through them with a DirecTV package. They brag about eight gigabytes of whatever super power you get to help supply the DirecTV on demand and other key features to use. But I and others in Algona, Pacific and other backwood areas only get 1.5 gigabytes out here.

I’ve called them to find out when they will upgrade a link that’s maybe a couple miles longer than it is now. But they tell me they still don’t have enough demand to uplink this service to me.

I’ve been a customer a long time. I guess I should move to the big city of Auburn, so I will rate. They shouldn’t tell you one thing and not offer an-

other. Maybe they think I can’t read like the rest of us poor, powerless people of Algona.

I’m just trying to find some-one who might help us poor folk of Algona, Pacific and wherever their precious linkup ends.

– Jim Crosby

Reichert doesn’t represent us

The EPA Science Advisory Board’s mission is to provide independent evaluations of the scientific analyses so the EPA can make good regulations and decisions. The EPA members are not paid.

Our representative, Dave Reichert, voted to decrease the number of science seats and increase the number of corpo-rate seats and allow people with financial ties to EPA-regulated industries to serve on the board.

Great for polluting indus-tries; not so good for us or our environment.

Why would Reichert and Republicans do this? They are paying their debt to the industry money that helped them get elected. He is doing what he was bought to do. He is not representing us, he is representing the money.– Patti Larson

Smaller class sizes grows into big, costly issue

Five months ago voters said they wanted smaller classes in Washington public schools.

Seven months from now lawmakers will want to ask them, “Did you really mean it?”

In November, the electorate passed Initia-tive 1351 requiring fewer students in classes at every grade level in every school in every district in the state.

The measure contained no “ifs”, “buts” or “maybes”, just a directive to get it done in

four years.It also contained no

means of paying for the additional teachers and staff and classrooms needed to meet the demands created by the mandate. The price tag, for those who read the

voter’s pamphlet, is roughly $4.7 billion over the next four years.

This week House and Senate budget writers said the state can’t afford I-1351 and want a reprieve from the bulk of its require-ments.

They said taxpayer dollars should be spent on shrinking class sizes in kindergarten through third grade, where research shows students benefit the most, and is required of the state under a mandate from the Supreme Court.

House Democrats and Senate Republi-cans follow that blueprint in their respective budgets issued this week and want voters to endorse their approach this November. Leaders in the chambers are now tasked with figuring out exactly how to accomplish that.

Senate Republicans want to ask voters to support amending the original initiative to cover those four grades. House Democrats are toying with something a little more

Inquiries and Allegations of Misconduct Analysis.”

Police Chief Bob Lee said that until now the only per-sons outside of the police department privy to such information over the years had been the mayors.

Here is a sampling of data from the reports:

In 2014 Auburn Police officers responded to 89,350 computer-aided dispatch (CAD) incidents, com-pared to 71,512 in 2013, and completed 18,174 case

reports, compared to 16,321 in 2013.

Officers made 5,189 arrests, compared to 4,414 in 2013, and booked 2,940 of those arrestees into jail, compared to 2,293 in 2013. And in 2014, they issued 9,495 infractions-citations compared to 7,718 in 2013.

According to the reports, there were 96 use of force incidents in 2014, two less than in 2013. Of the 96 occasions to use force, 85 suspects were involved. Of those 85 suspects, 35 reported injuries.

“All injuries were minor scrapes, bruises, small cuts from going to the ground, K-9 bites, and one broken bone,” Stocker said.

According to the reports, Auburn Police officers were compelled to use force once in every 931 CAD incident in 2014, once in every 189 case reports completed, once in every 54 physical arrests, and once in every 31 physical bookings. Only 11 percent of the contacts resulted in a use of force.

In 2014, 32 traffic col-lisions involved APD

employees, and 22 of them were later determined to have been preventable on the officer’s part.

Sixty percent of the alle-gations that people outside of the department lodged against officers in 2014 resulted in a finding of mis-conduct, while 86 percent of the allegations that had come from sources within the department resulted in findings of misconduct.

In response to Holman’s questions, Stocker said his experience has shown that officers who use the lateral,

vascular, neck restraint tend to use it on people who are larger than they are, often upon realizing that “hands-on or fisticuffs” with some people just won’t work.

As to the training, Stock-er said, the department’s defensive tactic instructors have gone through the national certification and are eligible to teach the technique.

“And we do follow the national level of training,” Stocker said. “So, in order for officers to be able to use this technique, they

first have to go through the entire initial training, which is a practical test and a written test. And then they have to re-certify every year. We keep on top of that very strictly. So if an officer goes out of certification, his sergeant is notified, and the officer is told they can’t use that technique at that point. It is a technique that we do use, and it is effective.”

Responding to DaCorsi’s Taser question, Stocker said, “I do not believe that’s unique to Auburn. When the Taser first came out, the talk was about 80 to 85 percent effective. The reality, though, is that when we are on the street, about 50-50. In the area where we live, it’s colder most of the time, so when people have a lot of clothing on, heavy clothes on, we use the Taser, and it doesn’t work a lot of times. And then at the same time, depending on the circumstances, the officer has to actually hit the per-son with the probe, so you have a chance of that probe missing.”

Mayor Nancy Backus said she and Lee recently agreed that the information should be made public.

“We agreed that in the era of transparency that we are going to have we are going to provide this type of information. There is nothing to hide, the good, the bad, the in-between,” Backus said.

Discovery named one of the 50 best playgrounds in America

FOR THE REPORTER

Discovery Playground at Les Gove Park recently was named one of the best 50 playgrounds in America, according to Early Child-hood Education Zone.

The playground was ranked No. 36.

The park was praised for letting “children with disabilities play right alongside their able-bodied friends and siblings. Ramps, bridges, and trans-fer stations allow everyone to reach the highest deck of equipment. Sand tables, in-teractive walls, and activity panels are easily accessed by all. ...”

with fellow teacher Tyler Jourgensen. “We’re really surprised at the turnout for this. This is just our first event.”

Sohlstrom, who with Jourgensen took over the program this year, the pro-gram seeks to help Auburn Mountainview students with behavioral, social and emotional issues that make it hard for them to fit in with the rest of the kids.

“In order to get them engaged and caring about school and their environ-ment, we tried to find the things that they really like, what makes them thrive,” Sohlstrom said. “This year it was skating.”

Sohlstrom said students came up with the idea to open up the Two Twenty Two Skate Shop at the school.

Students meet after school every day in room 222, offering repairs of broken skateboards and a place to chat about tricks and skating in general.

Among the students in-volved in the program are: freshman Jake Whitson, who designed the shop and has skated for 10 years; sopho-more Sam Sannes, who has skated for

nine years and designs skateboards – including one up for a prize in the skate competition – and sophomore Zac Cort.

“The kids are just really thriving,”

Sohlstrom said. “One of our students has made the honor roll.”

She continued:“This is a difficult

program to be a teach-er of, there has been a lot of turnover,” Sohl-strom said. “But we’re really excited about everything we’ve heard, and the compliments about the program and the kids this year.”

Sohlstrom said the goal is for the kids to work their way out of the program – which has nine students, six of whom are scheduled to join next school year.

“We want them to find out what they need to do in life to succeed,” she said. “We want them to find out how they can control their temper, frustra-tion and emotions so they don’t stand out in a negative way. So we want them to learn positive social skills and be successful and thrive in the commu-nity after graduation.”

Sohlstrom said the money raised by the competition and at the shop will be used for a team-building trip to Camp Waskowitz.

complex, linking a revised initiative with other education-related costs.

With the intention of lawmakers now clear, the question is will the Washington Education Association and its 84,000 members – mostly public school teachers – fight them.

Initiative 1351 is their handiwork. The WEA wrote it and the statewide teachers’ union, along with its locals and the National Education Association spent $5 million getting it on the ballot and passed.

However, the final result – 51 percent to 49 percent – and the margin of vic-tory – 40,000 votes out of nearly 2.1 million cast – indicates voters were split on the measure.

Lawmakers in both parties think voters will understand the cost of the initiative this November. They also want to avoid an expensive ballot battle with teachers. Neither political party is in the mood to spend millions of dollars in a campaign – especially not the Democratic Party with which the union is traditionally aligned.

Lawmakers hope putting billions of ad-ditional dollars into schools, including the first state-funded pay hikes for teachers in years, will help avoid a clash. It would help if Senate Republi-cans stop pursuing a bill detested by teachers that would require student test scores be used to evaluate their performance.

These steps won’t buy the union’s silence or ac-quiescence in the legisla-tive endeavor but it might keep its campaign coffers closed this fall.

Going back to the ballot is not without its risks – even if there’s no opposition.

If voters stick by their original decision, lawmak-ers would need to regroup and come up with the billions of dollars through spending cuts, higher taxes or both.

It’s a vexing challenge now and will be no less vexing later.

That’s why they want to ask voters if they really meant what they said.

Michael F. CalabreseDecember 23, 1938 – March 24, 2015

Born in Priest River, Idaho, to Michael J. and Elaine (Sherri� ) Calabrese, Michael grew up on both the east and west coasts. His family lived in Washington and California during World War II, but frequently returned to the Bronx, NYC, living with their large Italian family. He attended high school at the De La Salle Institute in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and after graduation returned to

Washington and enrolled at Seattle University. He joined the United States Air Force and was assigned to remote radio stations in Alaska, prior to statehood. Michael met his wife Barbara Jean Palmer while stationed at Schilling AFB in Salina, Kansas. They chose Auburn as their home and raised two daughters, Ann and Lisa. Michael had a rewarding career working in aerospace, military defense systems, and the composites industries. He retired early, establishing a consulting business, to spend more time with his wife and to be a full-time grandfather.

Preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife Barbara. Survived by daughters Ann (Dave) Cook and Lisa (John) Bragg; � ve grandchildren Amy, Andy, Alexa, Harrison, and Marissa.

Michael and his family appreciate the compassionate care provided to him during his recent illness by Dave Cook – his caregiver, his patient advocate and “the son he never had.”

Gawk at the art. And, should you choose

to do so, sit on it.BenchMarks, a brand

new City of Auburn Arts Division program, will be busy between early July and October placing artistically-altered-yet-sittable benches throughout Auburn.

Majia McKnight, arts coordinator for the City of Auburn, said the program is about building communi-ty pride and getting people to make art.

Green River College’s Carpentry Division recently built 15 benches to be blank canvasses for selected com-

munity groups to paint, carve, whatever.

“We’re really leaving it up to the artists out there to take the bench and change it to how they see fit,” McK-night said. “What I envision is some people who might have more experience with woodcarving maybe taking one of the slats and carving it a bit, maybe adhering some other carved bits to it. I have heard of a person who wants to drill holes in one and fill it with differ-ent colors of resin. There’ll probably be a fair amount of painting of the surfaces. Part of the excitement is not knowing what people will create.”

All the benches will be sealed with an outdoor-acceptable surface.

Residents get their first look at the finished works during the Fourth of July celebration in Les Gove Park.

As yet nobody, not even the City, knows where the benches will go, McKnight said, but they are to be scattered throughout the community, in accessible outdoor places, and not just in the downtown core.

The City has issued a call to community groups and artists who would like to participate. Interested par-ties should visit the City of Auburn Arts website

(www.auburnwa.gov/arts). Applicants will go

through a selection process before they get a bench, which includes identify-ing a team leader and

determining a theme and method of transformation. The City wants the artists to share where they think the benches should go.

The application deadline

is April 13.For information on

this or other cultural arts programs, go to www.auburnwa.gov/arts, or call 253-931-3043.

Kids’ Art Walk, to grace downtownFOR THE REPORTER

The Auburn Downtown Association sponsors a Kids’ Art Walk from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, April 15 in downtown Auburn.

The free art walk is in partnership with the Auburn PTA Council’s Art Reflections Program.

On display will be 50 pieces of art from elemen-tary and middle schools in the Auburn School District. Viewing art submitted was part of an art contest.

The theme for the Art

Reflections Program this year is, “The world would be a better place if ….” Students were encouraged to work the theme into their art work.

There will be refresh-ments and art activities like paint bombing, pointillism and other fun.

The art walk begins at the Auburn Downtown Asso-ciation office, 222 E. Main St. Art walk maps and in-formation will be available. A passport will encourage those attending to visit all venues and participate in a drawing.

Please visit www.auburndt.org for more information.

There have been meager years for the Auburn girls water polo program.

Less than a decade ago so few students turned out for the team that it had to join forces with Auburn Mountainview and field a joint team.

“We were diluted by Au-burn Riverside in 1995 and by Mountainview in 2006,” said head coach Jim Isom.

Last season, Isom’s first year of his second stint with the team – he coached it for 10 years in the 1990s – the team finished in the base-ment of the East Division, earning just two wins.

Now the team has already matched that win total with a 2-2 record, and the num-bers are up, too, with 22 kids in the program.

“I took over last year, and our practice wasn’t right after school,” Isom said. “This year I made the com-mitment to practice after school, which is hard for me because I work in Seattle.”

Isom said there were just too many instances of kids unable to turn out because they had other commit-ments in the evenings.

“It became obvious that

we would have to have practice after school to get the numbers up,” Isom said. “And suddenly, we had 23 kids.”

Isom said having Mycah Birge – a health, physical education and leadership instructor at Auburn – as his assistant coach has helped a lot.

“They want and encour-age [having someone in the program at the school],”

Birge said. “I teach a lot of freshmen, so I’m able to get a lot of them to turn out.”

“Having somebody in house really helps,” Isom added.

Four-year starter and senior Brenna Tinsley leads this year’s team.

The team’s leading scorer said having a few more girls in the drink with her has paid off for her game and for

the team.Typically, Tinsley said,

she has had to shoulder the weight offensively for the team. With more girls, she’s able to spread it around more.

“It helps to be able to let the pressure off myself and be more of a team player,” Tinsley said. “I have the numbers now where I can trust my teammates to step up.”

Isom said the numbers help to foster a sense of competitiveness amongst the girls.

“Last year everybody was so new, and there were so few that a lot of girls got to play right away,” he said. “I think some of them took that for granted. Now we’ve got so many girls that are fighting for playing time that it’s much more competitive. It really benefits everybody. You have to work to get minutes and a starting position.”

Right now, with so many first- and second-year play-ers who are still learning the intricacies of the sport, Birge said the emphasis is not on winning.

“We don’t really focus on winning,” Birge said. “We focus on what the girls did

right, or better, than they did previously.”

Isom added:“If we lose, we try and

look at things like what was the score this year versus last year and what did you do right this time,” he said. “Winning really helps because for us as coaches it’s easier to make them work harder when they see the benefit. It makes it so it’s not just ‘we’re going to lose ev-ery game, let’s just have fun.’ They start thinking they can beat some of these teams. The wins will come, they’re already coming this year.”

For Tinsley, the winning is important, but not as important as helping to lead the team and building a cohesive program.

“Different girls learn dif-ferent ways,” Tinsley said. “You have to help them by showing them but you also have to be pretty vocal about talking them through what they’re doing. We have a lot freshman who had never played water polo. But this is great because these girls will only get bet-ter, and the team will only improve.”

Tinsley continued:“Most important is acting

like a team, and if we’re not

ahead, staying positive,” she said.

Isom said he also hoped that one of the side effects of building a successful program would be ‘chang-ing the culture’ about water polo as an activity and not a sport recognized by the Washington State Interscho-lastic Activities Association (WIAA).

“A couple of years ago it was considered an activity,” he said. “It’s not sanctioned, but you have to approach as it more than an activity if you want to be good at it. You have to participate every day at practice. And I think we’re getting there.”

FOR THE REPORTER

Auburn’s Mike “Imagine Me” Gavronski delivered a sixth-round techni-cal knockout of Maurice Louishomme in a 10-round super middleweight main event in Battle at the Boat 100 at Emerald Queen Ca-sino on Saturday night.

Gavronski improved to 17-1, 11 by knockout. Lou-ishomme is 8-2-1, 4 KOs.

Each fighter scored a knockdown in the second round. But as the fight advanced on, Gavronski began to find his groove, landing stiff jabs followed by huge right hands to the head. After wobbling his opponent to end the fifth, Gavronski ended things in the next round, sending Louishomme to the canvas for the final time.

The fight marks Gav-ronski’s third win in row, all coming in Battle at the Boat events.

In the semi-main event, undefeated Buckley native Jeremy McCleary (6-1) was unable to keep his unblemished professional record alive as he took on heavy-handed Oregonian, Marcello Gallardo (5-1-2 2KO’s.)

McCleary was quick on his feet and fluid with his hands, but was unable to fully recover after taking multiple hard shots from his opponent. Eventually, the hard-charging style of the more experienced Gallardo proved too much for McCleary, as the referee was forced to step in and stop the fight only 11 sec-onds into the fourth round.

According to coach Mike Van Eaton, who is in his second year at the helm of the Raven girls – he also coaches the Auburn Riverside boys program – this season is the culmination of four strong years from the senior class.

“We have Mollie Ridge in hole set and Cha-rissa Dorn as a perim-eter shooter, and they’re doing huge things,” Van Eaton said. “Then we’ve got Stori Freeland, Sarah Lee and Paige Moskowitz all doing great things in support. And our goalie, Drew Warren, is help-

ing. It’s just a huge team effort. They’ve been playing for four years together, so we’ve got a great senior squad look-ing to do great things.”

For the Ravens, however, strength goes beyond the seniors, with a strong core of freshman already chipping in and ready to continue moving the program forward.

“The girls with experi-ence are playing really well together, but then we have a huge fresh-man class, eight of them, that are learning the game,” Van Eaton said. “A couple of them are strong prospects and coming in off the bench to help

out. And Grace Dorn, a sophomore, is a huge help off the bench.”

With the future secure in the hands of the younger Raven squad members, the upperclass-men are free to continue their quest for glory at the state tournament this year.

“Their goal is to go as far as they can at state,” Van Eaton said. “They fully expect to do better than they did last year at state, hopefully top-four. But they really just want a strong senior year and to have their best year after four years. I’m just doing my best to keep up with them.”

Avalon Lanz, and just three returning seniors – Julie Howe, Skyler Hall and Natalie Hayes – the youth movement is on for the Lions.

“It’s a rebuilding year, but with 15 freshman that are just excited about wa-ter polo, I have no doubt in my mind that we’re going to be strong in the future,” said Pritchard, who also coaches the Lion boys water polo squad. “In my second year, to have such a big group is a

great way to start. I would have loved to have had them last year. I wouldn’t trade these girls for any-body.”

Pritchard said an influx of freshman is already paying off for the Lions.

“We’ve got two girls that are going to be real good polo players,” Pritchard said. “We’ve got Autumn [Hilderbrand] and Amelia [Portin], they’re both incoming freshmen, but they’re go-ing to be good down the road. And our goalie is a freshman, Katelyn Coo-

per. Between those three players, they’re playing almost every single min-ute of every game. All the girls are getting a lot of playing time.”

To allow the girls to develop and, hopefully, blossom into good water polo players, Pritchard said he is keeping expec-tations low for the girls with respect to the win-loss column.

“We just want them to have fun, come to prac-tice every day,” Pritchard said. “They work hard and come to practice.”

FOR THE REPORTER

Dr Pepper Snapple and na-tional nonprofit KaBOOM! have awarded a $15,000 Let’s Play Community Construction Grant to the City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation to build a new playground at Dykstra Park.

Volunteers will build the new playground at the park, 1533 22nd St. NE, in con-junction with Clean Sweep on Saturday, April 25.

“I could not be hap-pier after discovering this organization in Washington,

D.C. several years ago,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “Since we have been a part of the KaBOOM! Playful City USA program, the City of Auburn has been the recipient of over $120,000 from KaBOOM! and we have been able to build, rebuild or improve four parks so far.”

The grant is part of Let’s Play, a community part-nership led by Dr Pepper Snapple to get kids and families active nationwide. Unstructured, child-directed play has proven to help kids

develop physically, emotion-ally, socially and intellectu-ally, yet today’s kids have less time and fewer opportunities to play than any previous generation of Americans.

As a result of expanded Let’s Play grants and projects, more than one million kids will benefit from new or im-proved playgrounds around the nation between 2014 and 2016.

“We will continue to work with the community to create opportunities and spaces for play,” said Daryl Faber,

Auburn Parks, Arts & Rec-reation director. “The City of Auburn is in the design stages of a new Youth/Teen Center and new Community Center at Les Gove Park and continues diverse recreation programming that encour-ages opportunities to play in Auburn.”

In 2014, the City of Auburn was designated by KaBOOM! as a Playful City USA for the sixth consecu-tive year. It is one of only four cities in Washington to earn the designation.

City earns grant to build playground at Dykstra Park TAKE A SURVEY: The Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation De-partment seeks public feedback to help shape the future of city parks and open spaces. City officials are in the process of updat-ing the Parks & Recreation Open Space Plan (PROS), which will provide a six-year plan and 20-year vision for Auburn’s park system. It will outline goals and objectives, implementation strategies, capital improvements and investment programs for the city’s parks, recreation and open-space system.

The final plan, to be adopted by the City Council, will provide guidelines and direction for the City in terms of acquiring, developing and preserving property, accepting property dona-tions, and identifying potential funding sources and other actions enabling the City to respond to opportunities in a timely fashion. The plan will identify the action steps needed in our park and recreation systems to ensure that these systems are an integral part of the City’s economic development strategy.

The survey is available at www.surveymonkey.com/s/5TLD2WJ. For more information, contact Jamie Kelly at 253-931-4011 or via email a [email protected].
