always been a step ahead of the pack, academically and on the pitch.
“I’ve always been ‘The Young One’ on the team,” said Wall, who played varsity
soccer all four of her high school years, and was captain this year with two other seniors,

Auburn leaders scrapped their original plan to build a community center at the south end of the Les Gove Commu-nity campus last year when it threatened to burst its budget.
On Tuesday its less pricey alternative, at the north end, adjacent to the activities cen-ter – went out to bid.
“This is an important milestone for the City and for the design team of being
able to go out to bid. It has been a race to the finish,” Stan Lokting, principal of ARC Architects, whose firm began design work on the $9 million community and youth center only last November, told the Auburn City Council Monday.
Construction starts in August, and the center should be open next June in time for KidsDay.

Auburn’s Ilalko Elemen-tary is the only school in the state that has run a struc-tured physical education pilot program, directing two third-grade classes into P.E. Everyday.
That pilot program, which ended this week, paid off big time, said Ilalko P.E. teacher Dee Dee Goodspeed.
Demonstrably paid off in
better test scores and a lower total body mass index for the kids who took part in the program than they had when they started. Those kids also had better test scores and lower BMI than the students who did not participate in the program.
Students, parents and edu-cators are already singing the program’s praises.

AUBURN PARTIES
FOR THE REPORTER
Jim Blanchard, the executive director of Auburn Youth Resources, is retiring after 14 years with the nonprofit agency, it was announced today.
Blanchard had been contemplat-ing retirement for some time prior to making his announcement public.
“This was an unexpected oppor-tunity for me after my retirement from working overseas for almost 20 years,” Blanchard said in a news release. “This time at AYR, with all of you, has been some of the most rewarding of my life, and I thank all of you who have been a part of my journey.”
An AYR hiring committee is seeking candidates to replace Blanchard, who has agreed to stay on until a new director is hired.
Blanchard agreed to act as AYR’s interim execu-tive director on Jan. 22, 2001, while a permanent candidate was found. But Blanchard wound up
becoming the permanent leader in charge of one of the area’s most impactful agencies – a fully ac-credited, regional mental health counseling, sub-stance abuse counseling, youth and young adult
residential center serving South King and North Pierce counties.
During Blanchard’s tenure, much has changed at AYR. The agency has doubled in bud-get, in the number
of employees and added many programs to ad-dress community needs.
AYR also purchased three buildings and a multiplex, and is leasing two new buildings to ac-commodate the evolution and encourage continued growth.
“The board and com-munity are certainly ap-preciative for everything Jim has accomplished and contributed to the success of AYR,” said Kim Anardi, AYR board president.

The Seattle Seahawks’ Jermaine Kearse has made spectacular catches throughout his NFL career, but perhaps his greatest reception is captivating kids and helping families.
Those outreach efforts include his support of Junior Achievement.
Kearse visited Auburn last Fri-day to join the Junior Achievement of Washington’s JA World 10-year anniversary celebration and men-tion the launch of his nonprofit organization.
The 15 to 1: Jermaine Kearse Foundation supports and inspires youth in military families to work hard, persevere and find success through positive choices, experiences and opportunities.
Kearse, a former Lakes High School and University of Washington star, grew up in a military family, so he
understands how kids living on base can be cut off from everyday oppor-tunities.
His foundation, much in the same way as JA, hopes to open those doors to others in need.
“Kids on military bases sometimes feel isolated ... and they are not able
to branch out and have opportuni-ties that JA offers,” Kearse told the audience at JA World.
“When I first visited here, I said, ‘Man, I wish I had this when I was younger.’ ... This is a great opportu-nity. JA is a wonderful thing.”
Kearse is committed to com-munity work when he isn’t playing football. Such work is a byproduct of his mentality to never give up, especially in difficult times, and to do his job for the team.
The NFL is an example.Kearse caught the game-win-
ning, 35-yard touchdown pass in overtime, lifting the Seahawks to a
miraculous 28-22 win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game in January.
Seattle trailed 19-7 with about four minutes remaining and had been inef-fective on offense all game.

FOR THE REPORTER
A former Auburn adult family home operator pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges he criminally mistreated a man in his care.
The Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit charged Alfredo Tia with second-
degree criminal mistreatment in King County Superior Court. Tia was arrested at Seattle-Tacoma In-ternational Airport on April 22 as he returned from the Philippines.
The case represents the first time the Attorney General’s Of-fice has convicted a health care provider of felony-level criminal
mistreatment.“Elder abuse has no place in
Washington. If you mistreat Medicaid patients, my office will hold you accountable,” Attorney General Bob Ferguson said. “I’m glad we could deliver a measure of justice for the victim in this case.”
The office will ask for the top end of the sentencing range for a first-time offender, which is three months in jail.
The victim, a 69-year-old man, was a resident of Joportia Adult Family Home from July 11, 2014, until he was admitted to Multi-Care Auburn Medical Center ear-lier this year with six severe pres-sure ulcers, at least one of which went to the bone. He remained hospitalized for months.
A social worker at the hospital reported suspected abuse. The case was investigated by the AGO
Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, as the victim’s care was paid for by Medicaid programs.
Tia, who was the owner and residential care provider at Jopor-tia AFH, left the country as the Department of Social and Health Services was closing the home in January.
Sentencing has been scheduled for 2:45 p.m. Friday, June 19 in King County Superior Court before Judge Andrea Darvas.
Assistant Attorney General Yarden Weidenfeld prosecuted the case.

“I can’t imagine what you guys felt, but it was a roller coaster of emotions,” Kearse told the audience. “You can
get so low and you can get so high. ... Things are not always going to go the way you planned them. They are not always going to be perfect, but you’re going to
have to pull through with some bumps in the road. And that’s what we did.”
Kearse was one of the keynote speakers at the JA event. Kevin Mather, president and CEO for the Seattle Mariners, and Jim Shoemake, former superin-
tendent of Tacoma Public Schools, also spoke.
The event brought busi-ness leaders, teachers and community members to-gether to celebrate 10 years of JA inspiring the dreams and imaginations of nearly 170,000 youth throughout
Western Washington.JA announced new
partnerships along with substantial gifts that will impact its Growth Plus Sus-tainability Campaign, to be used to expand the number of students reached through its experiential learning programs, JA BizTown and JA Finance Park, at JA World in Auburn.
Allstate Insurance contributed $400,000 to JA of Washington. BECU
also provided a substantial lead gift and was awarded the JA’s Financial Literacy Legacy Award.
“Currently we are reach-ing 108,000 students, and while this is a great number, we need to be reaching one million students,” said Executive Board Chair Danielle Burd.
For 62 years, JA has been a part of Washington communities, working with schools and businesses, to build strong, viable part-nerships that serve young people.

In Olympia these days, lawmakers are high cen-tered in a second special session over the budget to operate the state for the next two years. The stale-mate has come down to the choice of raising taxes or funding government within the current revenues.
Gov. Jay Inslee and fellow Demo-crats call for a new 5-percent capital
gains tax they estimate will generate another $550 million. In addition, Inslee has proposed a new bil-lion dollar tax scheme on carbon emissions. On the other hand, Republicans believe the projected $3.2 billion (9.2 percent) in-
crease in revenue collections already expected over the 2015-17 budget cycle will suffice.
At our state capitol, nobody is talking about reducing taxes. In Kansas and North Carolina, how-ever, tax cuts implemented a couple of years ago are creating jobs and increasing worker wages.
In 2013, new North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) felt compelled to turn around the state’s sluggish economy. Lawmakers slashed the state’s top personal income tax rate to 5.75 percent from 7.75 percent,
which had been the highest in the South. The corporate tax rate was cut from 6.9 percent to 5 percent and the estate tax was eliminated.
The result: nearly 200,000 jobs have been added and the unem-ployment rate has fallen from the 7.9 percent to 5.5 percent. Most importantly, it has given people in rural areas where the jobless rate topped 20 percent a chance to go back to work.
In Kansas, lawmakers reduced the top rate on the personal income tax from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent.

Bryant ready to put GOP back in the governor’s seat
He has a common name, a busy agenda, and determination to end one of the coun-try’s longest losing streaks in state govern-ment.
Meet Bill Bryant, a Republican challenger to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016.
The GOP hasn’t occupied the governor’s mansion since 1984, when John Spellman was in office. Since then, Republicans have lost eight straight elections, the longest such
dry spell in the country for the party.
Bryant, 54, vows to change all that. The two-term Seattle Port commissioner, who grew up in Western Washington and lives in Seattle, announced last
month his intention to run for governor. His campaign will emphasize the need to create middle class jobs, protect and restore the environment, fund education and improve infrastructure for transportation.
“We have an incumbent who is not build-ing community. He’s very divisive, hyper-partisan, and we’re not getting anything done,” said Bryant, who visited Auburn and Kent last week on business matters. “Our truck routes are deteriorating, Puget Sound is dying, and our schools are languishing without a sustainable funding source. … This isn’t a Republican or Democrat agenda. This is just about getting some basic stuff done.”
As a port commissioner and a business owner, the fiscally-conservative Bryant is in the habit of making deals. His firm helps companies and organizations open, access and expand international markets.
His work on the waterfront is perhaps highlighted by the news that Seattle and Tacoma port officials have officially agreed to consolidate operations. All 10 port commis-sioners unanimously approved the alliance at Auburn City Hall last Friday.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance will unify the ports’ marine cargo terminal invest-ments, operations, planning and marketing

Some help, please, or let’s hire some goats
Well, here it is, goat season once again.
This is the third year in a row that the grass around the Lakeland Hills North Monu-ment is not being maintained.
Also the grass on the sides of Mill Pond Drive Southeast, across from Auburn Riverside High School up to 47th South-east, is not being mowed.
Is it time to hire the goats, or is the City of Auburn or the Lakeland Hills Masters Asso-ciation going to step up to the plate and take care of this?
It is the growing season. The grass is getting tall, overgrown and is a real eyesore.
There are also three huge plastic bags that were left at the corner of 47th Southeast and Mill Pond Drive Southeast
by some work crew. They have been sitting on the grass for the past eight months. Does anyone have any idea who is responsible for taking them away?
I would love to see Mill Pond Drive Southeast
maintained to look as nice as Lakeland Hills Way.– Faye Cunningham
Drought affecting area water flows
The White River seems to be running at record low levels, less than 500 cubic feet per second, accord to the R Street gauge.
This seems mostly to do with last winter’s record low snowpack and a dry spring, but it also complicates refilling Lake Tapps, which was se-verely drawn down last winter for repairs to the reservoir and diversion flume.
Water is now being im-pounded at Mud Mountain Lake to help refill Lake Tapps this summer, and perhaps to help with late summer/fall salmon runs.

They also eliminated the income tax for small busi-ness owners who file as indi-viduals, a broad group that includes sole proprietors, limited liability partnerships and S-corporations.
Since then, hourly wages have grown by 3.5 percent compared with the national average of 1.9 percent, and the unemployment rate has dropped to 4.2 percent.
In contrast, Washington’s statewide jobless rate in April was 5.5 percent, with 80 percent of Washington counties reporting unem-ployment rates above the national average.
Do tax cuts really make a difference? One way to gauge that is to compare the economic performance of Kansas City, Kansas with Kansas City, Missouri, right across the state line.
Over the past two years, private-sector jobs on the Kansas side increased 5.6
percent compared with 2.2 percent job growth on the Missouri side. In the same period, hourly wages grew $1.22 on the Kansas side compared with $0.61 on the Missouri side.
While critics complain that the Kansas tax cuts have blown a hole in the state budget – $344 million in the 2015 fiscal year and $600 million in the next – the North Carolina reforms, which included changing the state’s unemployment tax system, generated a $400 million revenue surplus.
According to the Heritage Foundation, North Caro-lina’s former budget director, Art Pope, says one differ-ence between the two states is that, “we cut spending too. Kansas didn’t.” Kansas is betting that more private sector jobs and tax revenues from economic growth will produce the same revenue surpluses.
Cutting taxes is politically risky.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) was roundly criticized by liberals, who tried to convince voters that higher taxes are a price that must be paid for progress, yet he beat back Democrat challenger Paul Davis in last November’s election.
In North Carolina, McCrory faced armies of protesters when he proposed cutting taxes and reducing unemployment benefits. But the bottom line is reforms in both states are working.
As Brownback explains: “If your objective is to grow the economy, would you rather put more money into government, or leave it in the hands of small busi-ness?”
Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He retired as president of the Association of Washington Busi-ness, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at [email protected].

But I’ve got to say, there’s not much river left. It’s be-ing enjoyed by Game Farm and Roegner Park visitors and area residents because the current’s down.
Hopefully, it won’t be very much worse by the end of summer, and fall/winter rains and snow will be more normal, but I’m thinking it’s a sign of the times.
If future water flows are going to be more like this, local wells and the planned use of Lake Tapps as a regional source of drinking water will be impacted.– Damon Hill
What’s in our meat, poultry?
President Obama recent-ly directed federal agencies to serve antibiotic-free meat and poultry in government cafeterias.
The FDA will require animal producers to obtain authorization from a licensed veterinarian to use drugs to treat a specific disease, rather than just to promote rapid growth, as is current practice. As much as 80 percent of all U.S. antibiotics are used in animal agriculture
The moves come amid growing concern about the link between routine antibiotic use in animal ag-riculture and human infec-tions by bacteria that have
developed resistance to antibiotics because of their excessive use. The CDC estimates that antibiotic re-sistance causes two million illnesses per year in the U.S. and 23,000 deaths. It also adds $20 billion per year in health care costs and $35 billion in lost productivity.
While government agen-cies reduce antibiotics in animal products, the rest of us can do better immediately with wholesome vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains and a rich variety of plant-based meats and cheeses. All these foods contain all the nutri-ents we require, without the deadly pathogens, antibiotics, carcinogens, cholesterol and saturated fats. – Sal Sucher
to strengthen the Puget Sound gateway and attract more marine cargo for the region.
Bryant knows as much.The alliance, he said, will enhance the
Puget Sound market, and protect and add jobs.
But $700 million is needed to up-grade docks at Elliott and Commence-ment bays, Bryant pointed out, making it important for the ports to shoulder the improvements in a coordinated way.
And to allow for a greater volume of business and traffic, vital truck routes outside the port gates need improve-ment, he said.
“If we don’t modernize the docks for the next generation of ships, those ships will go to Vancouver (B.C.),” Bryant warned.
Other matters:On education: There is no single solu-
tion for funding education, Bryant said, but property tax equalization needs to
be part of a “tool box” approach to repair the problem. He stresses that education needs to be the spending priority out of the general fund, and that the education system needs to be reformed to meet the needs of students in the
21st century.On wages: Bryant is concerned about
a statewide minimum wage because the economies are so different. “What’s appro-priate in King County,” is not elsewhere, he said. Bryant opposed an immediate, absolute $15 minimum wage for workers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
On the environment: Bryant was criticized for supporting Shell oil rigs docking along Seattle’s waterfront in preparation for drilling off Alaska’s North Slope.
The Bryant campaign called the Shell fight “entirely symbolic” and defended the port’s environmental record.
Despite the controversy, Bryant insisted he has a reputation for being able to work with environmental and labor communities, protecting jobs and the Sound.
Bryant knows he has a fight on his hands. His is working to make inroads throughout the state, but perhaps none is more significant than swaying voters in King County.
Gubernatorial races are often decided here by the populous, predominately blue-blooded vote. Bryant knows he won’t be able to carry 60 percent of the vote in the county, as he did when he ran for port commissioner, but he’s trying to make more believers come late 2016.
“It’s daunting,” he confessed, “but I’m well known around the county. I’ve worked in Auburn, in Kent … in com-munities on economic development, transportation, small business and tour-ism issues.
“I’m very comfortable with where I am in King County.”

“We have been going through a whirlwind of de-sign, going through all the different technical specifica-tions and drawings to make sure we have a project that is beneficial to the commu-nity and can be constructed on time and budget,” said Assistant City Engineer Jacob Sweeting.
Bids open July 7. The council learns how the bids came in on July 20.
The $9 million budget breaks down into a $3
million appropriation from the state Legislature and $6 million in City funds. The $3 million appropriation has to be committed to the project by June 30, or the state takes it back.
Lokting said the design team has worked hard to stay true to the City's original ideas, notably that the center should fit in well with the existing buildings on the Les Gove Campus, in particular with the gymnasium.
He went on to cite an-other important principle: finding a color and material
palette that was neutral, natural and appropriate for the campus setting, a palette that was not only effective from a budget perspective but also from a maintenance perspective.
Where possible, con-struction will incorporate local building materials.
Design drawings show a total of 21,000 square feet of space devoted to education-al, cultural and social activi-ties, offering broad views of Les Gove Park.
Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, several school districts’ worth of school superintendents, even Blitz the Seahawk mascot, converged on a gymnasium full of students to celebrate the conclusion of the successful pilot program.
“Elementary children need P.E. Everyday,” Goodspeed said. “One in three children are obese or overweight. We need to stop
talking about it and do something about it.”
Goodspeed said she hopes that that “something” includes mak-ing P.E. Everyday not just a pilot program but also part of the daily school curriculum.
Inslee talked about the im-portance of exercise the next generation.
“Exercise is fun, and kids are more likely to continue exercising the muscle that is between their
ears as well as their biceps,” Inslee said. “We know that if you exer-cise regularly, you’re more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Being active, and eating healthy foods and maintaining a healthy weight are ways to avoid obesity. There are a lot of health problems associated with that.”
Unfortunately, Inslee noted, more and more obesity-related problems are showing up in today’s kids.
“Folks like Mrs. Goodspeed and principals like Mr. (Tim) Carstens are leading this effort right in this school,” Inslee said. “Everybody here in this gym is a champ. Your participation makes programs like P.E. Everyday successful in getting other kids involved in it. My hope is that when you’re no longer in Mrs. Goodspeed’s class, and you go on to middle school and high school and eventually graduate, you’re still going to be exercis-
ing and make it part of your life, every single day.”
Retiring Auburn School Dis-trict Superintendent Kip Herren said research shows that early literacy, good nutrition and physi-cal fitness play essential roles in student’s lives.
“We get a payoff all along the line in the lives of those students,” Herren said.

ORDER AND DETERMINATION BY THE DIRECTOR
Washington State is experiencing a drought emergency. We have record-low snowpack in themountains, and snowmelt through the spring and summer is what traditionally keeps rivers flow-ing, crops watered, and fish alive. We are starting to feel the pain from this snowpack drought.Impacts are already severe in several areas of the state.
More than 70 percent of the state's snow monitoring stations have record-low snowpack. As aresult, many of our major rivers are forecasted to have record-low flows - the lowest in the past64 years - between April and September. This shortfall is a serious threat to municipal anddomestic water supplies, irrigated agriculture, and fisheries throughout Washington.
With the concurrence of Governor Inslee and following consultation with affected Indian Tribes,I hereby expand the drought emergency to include all of Washington State.
Snowpack conditions across the state have continued to decline since the initial regional droughtdeclaration on March 13, 2015. Dozens of major rivers are at record-low flows for this date. Thelonger-term weather forecast is for warmer and drier-than-normal conditions for this spring andsummer. Conditions are likely to get worse.
Reduced snowpack creates risks to municipal and domestic water supplies. The Department ofHealth has identified numerous water systems throughout the state that draw water from shallowalluvial aquifers, which are dependent on groundwater recharge from snowmelt.
Agriculture faces a risk of crop loss throughout the state. Farmers in the Yakima and the WallaWalla basins are being curtailed, which could have devastating impacts on orchards and vine-yards. Curtailment is likely to occur in the Little Spokane, Nooksack, and Chehalis basins, andcould occur for the first time ever in the Colville Basin. Loss to perennial crops in these regionswould be a significant hardship to individual farmers and agricultural communities.
Throughout the state, there is a high risk that fish populations will experience hardship from ex-tremely low flowing rivers this year. Hatcheries will face warmer water, increased risk of disease,and potential loss of water supply. Tributaries and smaller streams may drop to levels wherestream channels become impassible to fish. Pools of water will become disconnected from otherpools, isolating fish and increasing the risks of predation and harassment.
Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.838.405, IT IS ORDERED that all ofWashington state is hereby under a drought emergency. This order is effective immediately andshall remain in effect through December 31, 2015, unless terminated prior to that date.
In accordance with the provisions of WAC 173-166-060, the Department of Ecology may, underthe terms of this order, take the following emergency actions: (1) Issue emergency permits forwater. (2) Approve temporary transfers of water rights. (3) Provide funding assistance to publicagencies to alleviate drought conditions. (4) Take other actions depending on future developments.
Other state and local agencies with authority to issue permits or authorizations related to thedrought emergency actions must provide a decision to an applicant within fifteen (15) calendardays of the date of application.
In accordance with the proclamation of the Washington Governor, dated January 3, 1989,(Centennial Accord), nothing herein shall impair or infringe upon the treaty reserved rights orgovernmental authority of any federally recognized Indian tribe nor shall this order be deemed anassertion of state authority over Indian reservation lands. The Department of Ecology intends towork cooperatively, on a government-to-government basis, with all affected tribes.
Further details about this order or the actions available under it, may be obtained by contacting:Jeff Marti, Department of Ecology, PO Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600; 360-407-6627;Email: [email protected]
Applications for emergency water permits or temporary transfers of water rights are available bycontacting one of the Department of Ecology's regional offices:• Northwest Regional Office; Bellevue, WA; 425-649-7020; Email: [email protected]• Central Region Office; Yakima, WA; 509-575-2597; Email: [email protected]• Southwest Regional Office; Lacey, WA; 360-407-6859; Email: [email protected]• Eastern Regional Office; Spokane, WA; 509-329-3541; Email: [email protected]

Robotics brings bright young minds together to learn, promote teamwork and answer the call for bet-ter technology for tomor-row.
Claire Kerbs and Kyle Wuerch know as much.
The Auburn Riverside High School students are aspiring engineers.
Kerbs and Wuerch, two of the top seniors in the Ra-vens’ class of 2015, discov-ered the risks and rewards of working with robotics – in the classroom and on the competitive stage.
Such an exercise brought out the best in them. It ac-celerated learning beyond the syllabus.
“It’s hands-on work, not just from a book, and it is problem solving with others,” said Kerbs, who plans to study mechani-cal engineering and minor in music at Washington State University in the fall. “You’re rebuilding a lot. … You’re running into unex-pected problems.”
Nothing they can’t solve.Wuerch, for one, wants to
learn more. Like Kerbs, he is taking his act to college,
where he plans to study computer engineering at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, in the fall. He can’t wait to get started.
“What I like is you’re accepted automatically into the program,” said Wuerch, who wants to establish his own business some day.
Wuerch, son of Jayne and
Wes Wuerch, blossomed at Auburn Riverside. A 4.0 student, he excelled in math and science. He participat-ed in computer science club and SkillsUSA, a program that helps students become world-class workers, leaders and responsible citizens.
On the tennis court, Wuerch was part of the No. 1 doubles team and helped
manage the girls program.The sport rewarded him
in many ways.“Getting into the tennis
program was a good start for me,” Wuerch said. “It helped me get acclimated to high school. … It really teaches you respect with
others and to have integrity. … Good people play tennis. They’ve been role models who have helped me de-velop here.
“Everything seemed to work out for me,” he said of his experience at Auburn Riverside. “I enjoyed the culture of the school … and the opportunity to do a lot of things.”
Kerbs made the most of her time at the school.
She participated in mechanics and music, and shone in both. She also participated in cross coun-try, where she was a senior co-captain last fall, and ran track.
Kerbs, daughter of Chris and Rex Kerbs, is a 4.0 stu-dent and a gifted musician.
A classically-trained vio-linist who has played since she was 8, Kerbs was an all-state and all-Northwest honors orchestra performer.
“I like to play romantic things. It’s really soulful when you play into the string and get a rich tone sound,” she said.
Music and mechanics do mesh.
“Music is an artistic
outlet for me, but I really like to work with numbers,” Kerbs said. “I guess there is some overlay in the brain for that.”
WSU encouraged Kerbs to continue feeding her pas-sion for music.
“The violin professor there was the tipping point for me,” Kerbs said of her decision to go to Pullman to further her education.

Her favorite class has been DECA, which taught her everything she knows about business.
“It’s given me real-life experience and school experience, and it’s re-ally helped me narrow my choice, made me want to pursue business. It’s helped me speak in front of crowds, where I used to be really nervous. My teacher, Miss Jacobs, really helped me out. She’s driven to help kids in and out of school,” Wall said.
This year Wall was named Washington DECA member of the year
“There are 11,000 people in DECA in Washington, so being named the top person was pretty cool,” she said.
Her ambition is to be a buyer or purchaser at Nordstrom, or to run public relations for some sports team in the area.
That’s a lot of ambition.“My mother and father
didn’t go to college,” Wall explained. “I have an older
sister, and in raising us, our parents made it their mission to have us get good grades and go to college, and set a new example in our family. My older sister is the first person in my family to go to college.”
Indeed, her parents have been behind her every step of the way.
“They barely missed any of my soccer games over the past 14 years or so that I’ve played. They’re always there at award nights. They’re al-ways there to encourage me at anything they can go to. They’re always saying, ‘You can do it,’ and encouraging me when I doubt myself,” Wall said.
Wall said it’s been excit-ing to be a member of the first class to graduate from the new Auburn High School.
“It’s been an adjustment,” she said. “It’s been weird having things that work.”
Avery WadeFirst thing folks notice
about Auburn High senior
Avery Wade is his smile. Infectious, radiant, about
as constant as a smile can be.
Here’s a guy smiles even when he isn’t smiling, laughs easily, dances when he eats – “you just take a bite, do a little movement here and there” – practically glows.
Indeed, it would take some doing not to like Wade right away. And to keep from marveling how a guy can be so happy all the time.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” he said, smiling.
But beyond the smile is a young man driven to suc-ceed, one who has spent his high school years building up the academic and sports chops to make success happen.
On top of carrying a 3.98 grade point average he has been involved in basketball, football and track for all four of his years at Auburn High. He hopes, he said, to walk onto the University of Washington track team
next fall as a high jumper. “Sports are fun, but my
main focus is grades,” Wade said. “I’m very academically oriented. I love the labs that we do in chemistry, and the curriculum is great.”
He wants to study sci-ence, biology or chemistry in college.
“I want to be a pediatri-cian. Being in the medical field is my whole deal,” Wade said.
He credits his parents,
Danielle and Alphonse, for their support.
“My parents are very family oriented. Every-thing I do has always been oriented toward my family. They support me in all my academics and sports. They’re very strict when it comes to grades,” Wade said.
Wade’s only academic blemish, he says with rare regret, is the A-minus he received one quarter in
Spanish, the infamous mark that kept him from a perfect 4.0.
“My parents don’t like A-minuses. It stresses me out that we don’t have extra credits so I can’t raise my grade. My parents stress how important grades are to continuing my education in college, and they are very excited to see me start at the UW in the fall,” Wade said.

Flores, Corro find their way, excel at smaller schoolBY ROBERT WHALE
For some kids, the big three high schools in Auburn are too large, too crowded – too much.
And in those big pools, such kids can lose their footing and sink.
Such was the case for Claudia Flores and Alberto Corro.
“Bad grades, no motivation from teachers,” Corro, 20, recalled of his experience at Auburn High School.
“I was being dumb; I just didn’t
want to go to school anymore,” Flores said of Auburn Riverside High School.
That was before either had made the decision to try West Auburn High School.
On Saturday the duo accom-plishes what neither would have expected of themselves only a few years ago – graduation from high school.
The pride of their 2015 class. Each with dreams to pursue.
Flores is set on attending Green River College on her way to be-coming an occupational therapy assistant.
Corro plans to attend a com-munity college in south Seattle and become a mechanic.
Corro explained what West Auburn did for him.
“I looked at different opportu-nities, saw people going here. I got involved here. It was a big change. I saw my grades going up, and there was a lot of support from teachers,” said Corro.
“At Auburn High, the classes were bigger, and there was not much time for individuals. Down here, the classes are smaller, they have more time to help every student out. When I started here – I always knew I was good with my hands – I got into woodworking and automotive. And then I got further into math. I love every-thing about it. I love doing math,” Corro said.
Flores story is a bit different.“I started off at Auburn River-
side, and for some reason I was really quiet, and I didn’t talk to too many people, and I didn’t have many friends,” said Flores, 18. “I would just go straight to class. I ate lunch in the library. And I dropped out of school my junior year. I wasn’t doing so good at school anymore. I just wouldn’t
show up to class.”At one point the district told
her she could no longer attend school if she wasn’t go to show up for classes, so she had a choice: go to West Auburn or get her GED.
Flores, like Corro, had heard all the stories about West Auburn: bad school, bad kids.
Alberto Corro and Claudia Flores flourished at West Auburn.ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter

awkward, shy and quiet, but over the past four years I re-ally opened up and gained a lot of confidence,” said Lavine, who is bound for Washington State Uni-versity to study computer science in the fall.
“I feel a lot more com-fortable because of the environment that we have here,” Lavine said. “I’ve had a lot of great teachers who helped guide me. … They taught me a lot.”
High school also brought out the best in Shirley, who plans to attend Arizona State University to study business communication in the fall.
“I felt like I left my legacy here,” she said. “I did what I wanted to do while I was here. I got to the point where I was well respected by my peers and my teach-ers. I got involved in ways I wanted to.”
Lavine and Shirley rep-resent two of the very best in Auburn Mountainview’s class of 2015. Commence-ment ceremonies begin at 11 a.m. Saturday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.
Lavine, son of Angie and David Lavine, excelled in the classroom, posting a 3.9 grade point average in accelerated course work, and in the pool as a four-year varsity swimmer who
finished fourth in the state 3A 100-meter freestyle final last season.
A lifeguard, Lavine teaches swim lessons.
He also blossomed as a leader, working in student government and as a mentor for the Lion Crew program.
Strong in match and sci-ence, Lavine naturally be-came interested in comput-ers, where he understands and speaks its complex
language.One day he hopes to
bring a good tech idea to a small startup company.
The technology trade ex-hibits his sound, problem-solving skills.
“It’s trying things over and over until they work,” he said.
A well organized and resourceful leader, Shirley enjoyed her multifac-eted role in representing
students and the school. Shirley, daughter of Chris and Dan Shirley, is a 4.0 student who shone in student government, DECA and Lion Crew. She played four seasons of soccer, the last two on varsity, was named homecoming queen and helped organize and volunteer for many school and community functions.
Those business and orga-nizational opportunities will
serve her well as she pursues a career. She might one day become an event planner.
“Personally, I have a good vision for how I want things to look, and to look good. I want to bring that to other people and to help them,” she said.
Shirley appreciates what the school has done for her.
“I have had great mentors who really helped me get to where I am today,” she said.
[ MOUNTAINVIEW from page 1 ]
So she was nervous.But none of the bad sto-
ries turned out to be true.“It was different here.
Everybody seemed to know each other and get along. At a bigger school, you can only have a few friends, and you don’t know the rest of the people. Here, you know just about everybody. It made a big difference. As soon as I got here I got involved in ASB because some of the girls encour-aged me to get involved. It made me become a more open person. I’ve always en-joyed meeting new people, it’s just made it a lot easier. Academically, it’s also a lot easier. I can go at a slower pace. And if I miss school, it’s easier to catch up.”

Family, friends, former coaches and teammates honored Danny Shelton with a party at sun-splashed Au-burn Memorial Stadium last Saturday.
Shelton, the former Auburn High and University of Wash-ington standout, was the No. 12 pick in the April NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. The 6-foot-2 , 339-pound defensive tackle signed a four-year, $11.7 million contract with a $6.7
million signing bonus in May.Shelton is the first Husky to
earn first-team Academic All-American since 1991. He led the nation in fumble recover-ies with five and had 16 tackles for loss in 2014. He finished second on the team with 93 tackles.
At the party, there were guest speakers, tributes, music and dance.
True to his Samoan heritage, Shelton participated with oth-ers in a traditional dance.

Lewis George ZahradnekLewis George Zahradnek passed away
peacefully in his sleep on May 14, 2015, at his home in Auburn, WA. Born to Margaret and Albert Zahradnek on November 23, 1941, he lived in Auburn, WA for his whole life. He graduated from Auburn Senior High School in 1960 and married Kathryn Wehmer in 1961. He worked for the Boeing Company as a technical aid in the Engineering Department. He retired after 42 years of service.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Albert Zahradnek, and his wife, Kathryn Zahradnek. He is survived by his children, Natalie (Marty) Smith, Doug (DeeDee) Zahradnek, and Jenny Zahradnek; his grandchildren, Laura (Mike) Shore, Mandy (Ben) Wheeler, and Matthew (Kayla) Smith; and his great grandchildren, Makenna Shore, Cooper Shore, Josiah Smith, Jacob Smith, and Lily Wheeler; his sister Ruth (Jim) Fletcher, and many nieces and nephews.
Lewis in his younger days loved the outdoors. He loved bowling, softball, hunting, � shing, and to go camping with family and friends. In his later years, he was Kathryn’s caretaker and taxi cab. Although we are very sad at his passing, the family knows that he is back again with Kathy. Lewis was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and a friend to many and will be greatly missed.
At Lewis’s request, there will not be a service.1344288
Robert Elmer Lee CoveyRobert Elmer Lee Covey, a resident
of Auburn, WA passed away on June 4, 2015 at the age of 87. He was born on February 14, 1928 in Oroville, WA.
Bob served, after being drafted, during WWII in the Army Air Corps and was again drafted to serve in the Army during the Korean War.

FOR THE REPORTER
Valeria Moskalenko, an eighth-grader at Rainier Middle School, designed an eye-catching, fun rendering of children basking in the sun, but doing so safely.
Her design was selected among the thousands of entrants throughout the state as the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2015 Washington State SunWise with SHADE Poster contest
winner.Moskalenko’s image
shows children frolicking in appropriate attire, and Washington-resident orcas getting into the action.
As the winner, Moskalen-ko received sun safety kits for her school. Her design will grace the EPA’s website for years to come.
Moskalenko’s winning design was celebrated at a pep assembly.
“Well, I had an idea and I kept working at it,” Mos-kalenko said. “I got it to where I was satisfied, and then I wanted to be sure. So I asked Mr. (Luis) Chavez for advice, and he made a few suggestions on how to make it better. I worked at it one more time, and submitted it.”
Chavez is the school’s renowned art teacher who was recently honored for 30 years of dedicated service to the district and the arts. He is revered by students,
past and present, staff and families.
“We are thrilled with the outcome of the work by our teachers and our students this year,” said Ben Talbert, Rainier principal. “The EPA’s SunWise with SHADE Poster contest is a wonderful program. We had over 40 students participate in the contest, and over 120 partake in the EPA’s sun safety program. The quality of our entrants work far exceeded our
expectations. Our winning designer and design is a reflection of our school’s unique sensibility to mold art with science.”
The EPA has an an-nual contest that encour-ages students and teachers throughout the country to teach skin cancer risk and sun safety. The contest
invites young artists from all around the United States to submit thoughtful, hand-drawn posters that portray the essence of what the EPA calls, “Being SunWise.” SunWise is about being sun safe – and is the Shade Foundation’s, a subsidiary of the EPA program to pre-vent childhood skin cancer.
