OLD-SCHOOL PUNKS HEADLINE FESTSoCal’s The Offspring tops multi-band Pain In The GrassBy SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

For almost 30 years The Offspring has been at the top of the punk rock heap.

As one of the genre’s best-selling art-ists – with more than 40 million in record sales, including 1994’s “Smash” which is the

best selling independent record release of all time with 17 million copies sold – The Offspring has left its mark on millions of fans worldwide, with its catchy pop-punk anthems and high-energy live shows.

On Saturday the band headlines the an-nual KISW 99.9 FM Pain In The Grass festi-val at the White River Amphitheatre, featur-ing Three Days Grace, Chevelle, Candlebox, Royal Bliss, Witchburn and Sandrider.

On most days Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Her-ren sports a respectable suit – often, gunmetal gray, spiffy tie.

But lately Herren has been spot-

ted at public meanings in, shall we say, dress-down duds – a two-piece, wooden sandwich board slung over those spiffy threads. On one side of the board, images of 62-year-old Auburn High School, weary boilers, cracked ceilings, outdated electrical

systems, sundry wrinkles, age spots. On the other, Auburn High School as it could be a state-of-the-art, three-story building facing East Main Street, with a sharp red brick exterior and spanking new interior ventilation and heating systems.

“I ask kids I see what school they would like to go to, and they say, ‘that one,’” Herren said, pointing to an artist’s rendering of the proposed AHS, “but their parents went to that one,” he added, pointing to the present high school.

Court orders Sun to begin hiring City staffBy SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

A Pierce County Superior Court judge on Tuesday up-held an order demanding that beleaguered Pacific Mayor Cy Sun begin the hiring process for vacant City staff positions.

The Pacific City Council and City At-torney Kenyon Luce asked the court last week to issue a Writ of Mandate, ordering Sun to begin the hiring processes and lift a hiring freeze in place on the City’s police depart-ment or face fines and possible jail time.

Although Judge Ronald Cul-pepper declined to add several of the original writ’s mandates – among them, ordering the

For the band’s lead guitarist Kevin Wasserman, better known as Noodles, it’s been quite a ride.

The band formed in Orange County, Calif., in 1984 when lead vocal-ist Bryan “Dexter” Hol-land, bassist Greg Kriesel (Greg K.) and Noodles got together to pound out some punk songs in the vein of its influences, punk pioneers like the Dead Kennedys and The Ramones.

“The first 10 years, we just did it as hobby,” Noodles said. “We played on weekends and summer vacations.”

In 1989, after recording several demos, The Off-spring put out its self-titled debut album, following it up in 1992 with “Ignition.”

In 1994, however, the band hit the big time, when its third album, “Smash”, released on indie label Epi-taph, hit the stratosphere.

“It was a little scary, to be honest,” Noodles said. “It was cool and exciting, but a little scary. I was still working as a custodian for a school district and I had to give that up to tour. But I wasn’t sure, so I took a leave of absence instead of just quitting. I still remember when the three years of my absence had passed and I realized there was no going back.”

Not everyone, however, was that happy about the band’s runaway success.

Many in the tight-knit punk rock community accused the band of selling out, not staying true to the genre’s do-it-yourself, roots ethos.

“You have to take that with a grain of salt,” Noodles said. “Some people just don’t want to share their band with everybody

else. We didn’t change the way we did records when ‘Smash’ came out. We didn’t change anything about how we made records. And we’re still doing the same thing. It was mostly from the corners of the punk rock scene and new kids who didn’t want to share that with everyone else.”

Throughout the 1990s and the 2000s, The Off-spring continued to push the boundaries of its genre, retaining shadings of its punk rock roots while ma-turing sonically as a band.

“I think we started tex-turing the songs a lot more,” Noodles said. “There is a lot more deeper stuff in the songs that don’t stand out, that you have to listen close to pick out.”

Despite a bit of polish on its recordings these days, including its recently released ninth album “Days Go By,” Noodles still con-siders the band punk.

“It’s about breaking the rules, questioning what’s expected and just break-ing the rules,” he said. “It’s about bringing back the re-belliousness of the original rock and roll bands.”

And despite being on the edge of turning 50-years-old, Noodles said he can’t imagine not making music and playing live.

“It’s something I can’t imagine not ever doing. I can’t imagine quitting. It’s what I love to do,” he said. “I’m sure at some point it’s going to be ridiculous going out with a walker and trying to get my guitar to work, but I can’t imagine not doing this.”

The Offspring and Pain In The Grass kick off at 1:30 p.m. at White River. Tickets and more informa-tion is available at www.livenation.com.

Auburn-area members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in a National Day of Service on Sept. 15.

Among the many acts of service throughout the Auburn area was a project by the Lake Holm Ward that focused on the Historic Neely Mansion. More than 100 volunteers, young and old, made repairs, painted, restored significant landscaping and cleaned up.

Rod Call, one of the local LDS bishops, expressed his appreciation for all those who made a difference in their community. “It is hard to personally get to know everyone in a community, but we can still be connected through individual and community service to each other.”

Volunteers worked a total of 300 hours on the project. COURTESY PHOTOS

In August thieves sawed through the deer’s legs and stole it, leaving behind four hooves to testify that the bronze art piece, “The Long Look”, had ever graced Centennial Park across from Mountain View Cemetery.

Efforts to find the perps and get the piece back went nowhere.

Now the City of Auburn has commissioned the original artist, Brad Rude, to recreate the popular work, restoring its to its perch atop the log at the park across the road

from the cemetery and its watch over the valley floor.

City workers set things in motion Tuesday morning by removing the metal log with the hooves attached.

Majia McKnight, arts coordina-tor for Auburn’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Department, said the piece was insured, as are all art works on public display in the city.

“We’re working with the artist to determine when he will be able to come out here. He’ll take the log portion, which was secured in the concrete, back to his studio where he will recreate, not exactly the

same piece, but close. It should be ready by the spring of next year.”

The City will shift the location to ensure better visibility from the road and put in place unspecified security measures to deter future thievery and vandalism.

Before the recent act of vandal-ism and theft, “The Long Look” had survived previous attacks, the most recent in 2005.

The City responded on that oc-casion by welding the legs back on and putting “extra heft” in them. Staff at that time also cut back bushes that had blocked the sight of

the park from road.Theft, McKnight conceded, is

always a concern with the City’s public art pieces.

“It’s in the public sphere, and part of the joy is it’s out there where anyone can access it. At the same time, the danger is we can’t protect it, can’t put it under lock and key. Our maintenance program checks in on them regularly to make sure everything is OK.”

The Auburn Arts Commission originally commissioned the work in 1992 from Rude, an artist affili-ated with the Walla Walla Foundry.

FOR THE REpORTER

Historic Neely Mansion and its families are the sub-ject of a short-film series.

The filming of a series of five short videos depicting the histories of each of the five families who lived at the Neely Mansion began last week and continued through the early part of this week at locations throughout South King County.

The last of King County’s grand Victorian-era farm-houses, Neely Mansion was completed in 1894 and remains an iconic symbol of South King County.

Built by one of Washing-ton Territory’s earliest and most influential pioneer families, the mansion, and the surrounding grounds reflect their legacy and that of the Swiss, Japanese and Filipino tenant farmers who lived there.

One of the families built a Japanese-style bathhouse in 1930, the only one of

its type remaining in King County.

Funded by 4Culture, the cultural services agency for King County, and filmed by Hero Labs, shooting loca-tions include Neely Man-sion, Mosby Farms on the Green Valley Road Heritage Corridor, the Mary Olson Farm, Auburn and the Barker Cabin in West Hyl-ebos Park, Federal Way.

Local residents provided the use of vintage vehicles, and the part of pioneer Da-vid Neely, father of the man who built Neely Mansion, will be played by Green Valley Road resident Doug Cross.

Neely Mansion is a county, state and national landmark, listed on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places. It is located at 12303 Auburn-Black Diamond Road, Auburn, just east of the Highway 18 Auburn-Black Diamond Road exit.

Closing day

Herren slips into that sandwich board with pride because he wants everyone to know about the $110 million Auburn High School modernization and reconstruction bond mea-sure on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Wants them to know why it matters so much.

It matters, he said, because the aging AHS is longer cost-effective to operate and maintain. Critically needed repairs include leaking roofs, poor air quality and ventilation and outdated classrooms and labs. Those geezer sys-tems are costing the district $250,000 more in energy costs per year than all the other schools.

District officials realize that some supporters are wary of putting the measure on the fall general election ballot, where it will complete not only with the presidential election but with various referenda and initiatives.

“We’re figuring we want as many members of the community that voted in the last election as we can get. We want a big turnout. We figure this is the issue at the local level, and we want everybody to have a say,” Herren said.

Results of the two previ-ous attempts give support-ers hope. When the district first ran the bond in 2009, it garnered 46-percent of the vote, 14 percentage points below the superma-jority state law requires for bond measures to pass. In

the Feb. 14 2012 special election, it garnered 55.2 percent.

The plan and the district’s pitch to the public are about what they were last winter:

• School taxes will stay level.

• The district has refi-nanced it previous bonds, saving taxpayers $3 million.

• The district bond debt for schools is at an all-time low.

• The project is eligible for $25 million in state matching funds.

• The new school would save $250,000 annually in energy.

• Delay of the project will cost $3 million more annually.

• Construction prices are at a record low.

Meeting• What: A community meeting for the Auburn High School modernization and reconstruction project.• When: Monday, Oct. 1, guided building tours 5 to 6 p.m., meeting at 6 p.m. provides an opportunity for the community to hear details about the project and ask questions.• Where: Auburn High School Library, 800 4th St. NE. Visit the Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction website for more information about the project at ahsproject.auburn.wednet.edu.

CasCaDe Water alliaNCe will begin to drop lake levels on Nov. 1. This fall and winter, unlike previous years, Cascade will maintain the lake at approximately elevation 538 feet through the holidays. Lowering of lake levels during the winter is necessary to ensure pro-tection of dikes and the integrity of the lake. Cascade can maintain this higher than usual winter lake level because there are no dike repairs anticipated this season. However, if any issues arise that require attention and the lake must be drawn down further to address them, homeowners will be notified. Cascade expects to begin the spring refill as early as mid- to late-February, reaching recreational lake levels (minimum elevation 541.5 feet) no later than April 15.

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…

Police Blotter

At 2:15 a.m. Sept. 16, a burglar tore a door off the Sun Break Cafe, burst in, sized things up and leapt on his loot – a loaf of freshly baked banana bread and a refreshing carbonated beverage. When the alarm sounded, the desperado, banana bread in hand, fled into the early morning darkness. Owner Bruce Alverson, who arrived at his popular eatery 15 minutes later, put up this sign the next day and offered his version of events: “With the energy he got from the banana bread, the burglar made his escape. ... Our banana bread is very popular.” REPORTER PHOTO

mayor to cooperate with an ongoing King County Sher-iff ’s office investigation into Sun’s alleged destruction of City documents and stop-ping his alleged harassment of City staff – to the new or-der drafted on Tuesday, he ordered the mayor to begin doing his job by advertising for eight, vacant City staff positions.

“Mayor Sun, it’s not for me to tell you how to do your job,” Culpepper said. “But you have to do it.”

Sun has 30 days to prove that he is complying with the order and must reap-pear before Culpepper at that time.

Pacific City Council President Leanne Guier said she was satisfied with the court’s decision and that she hopes it will be enough to stave off the possible cancellation of the City’s insurance on Dec. 31.

“I feel like it’s moving in a positive direction,” Guier said. “That’s all council wanted is the mayor to perform his duties and hire these key positions so the City can keep moving for-ward. That’s all the council is asking for.”

At the hearing, Sun’s attorney, Tyler Firkins, ar-gued that there was no need for the writ because the mayor had already started

the process of hiring.“He’d previously under-

taken much of this,” Firkins said. “The mayor has actually appointed people that have been rejected by the council. We’ve filed a counter petition to ask that the council be re-quired to do their role, which is to approve and confirm those he appoints, which they haven’t done to this date. So we’ll see what happens. This is the first step.”

Sun posted the open positions for community services director, city clerk, city engineer, finance director and public works director on Monday.

“I hope he understands that the judge has indi-cated to him that (Sun) has certain duties, and hope-fully he’ll do it and we can get moving so that we can straighten the City out, pro-tect the citizens and comply with the insurance...” Luce said. “I’m very satisfied. We got exactly what we wanted. We had the mayor’s atten-tion drawn to something he’s neglected for many months, and now he must produce.”

ALSO: Sun appeared before an-other judge on Wednesday, this time in King County Superior Court, where the Committee to Recall Cy Sun has filed its petition to begin a recall of the mayor. The court was expected to approve the validity of the recall effort and finalize the ballot lan-guage for the petition. A final deci-sion was unavailable at press time.

Vote yes for schools by Nov. 6

As election day approaches, it is impor-tant to remember to keep a watchful eye on local issues, as well as the big issues, impacting voters throughout the state and nation.

An issue of vital importance for our com-munity and Auburn students is the recon-struction and modernization bond before voters this fall.

Teachers and students at Auburn High School daily address deficiencies in climate control and have very hot or cold class-rooms, have been subject to periodic pipe bursts that flood spaces and teach and learn in spaces not suited to 21st-century educa-tion and the full achievement our district’s students are capable of attaining.

The escalating maintenance and opera-tions costs – in key infrastructure repairs and elevated energy and operations costs – impact the district and take vital funds that could be better directed into supporting student learning and achievement. The new building will save more than $250,000 annu-ally in these expenses. [ more GUEST OP page 8 ]

[ more LETTERS page 8 ]

Let’s build a new school

We all want to get our money’s worth, so why are we willing to keep pouring our tax dollars down the money pit of the old Auburn High School building instead of voting to build a new school while con-struction costs, loan rates, etc. are at an all-time low and a $25 million state grant is available?

Auburn High utilities cost a ridiculous $250,000 per year and still the students roast in the spring and fall and freeze in the winter. That’s more than utilities costs at Auburn Riverside and Auburn Moun-tainview combined. The new school is designed to last twice as long and will be energy efficient, safe and designed around 21st-century teaching and learning.

Auburn High School has great programs, faculty and students, but shabby surround-ings don’t show them that we are proud of all their hard work. They shouldn’t have to live with a boiler that needs parts custom made when it breaks down and drip buckets in their classroom when it rains.

A well-educated population leads to low crime, a better tax base, etc., but we have to make the initial investment in our children’s education.

Times are hard, but a project like this will provide jobs for local families, show our students that we support their education and lead to a stron-ger city over all.

We need 60 percent so every vote counts. Support Auburn students and save yourself money in a long run.– Ken and Fern Valentine

Farmers market enjoys season under the sun

The record-breaking Auburn International Farmers Market (AIFM) season has come to a close.

This was my third season to participate as a proud advisory board member and active per-son dedicating more than 200 hours of volunteer time.

I helped the market obtain funding through sponsor-ships and donations, finding volunteers to provide all kinds of support, including free entertainment, created market-ing materials and showing up every Sunday from June

10-Sept. 23 at 7 a.m. until well after closing.

We provided local crafts, entertainment and informa-tion from a variety of com-munity nonprofits, beautiful flowers and fresh food from farm to table. Our vendors tell us that we are their favor-ite market. We know that is true since over half came for the entire season.

Joanne Macnab, our market manager, does an amazing job with a very small budget. Because of her expertise and passion, and the support of Auburn City Council, with council member Bill Peloza as the main cheerleader, we’ve been able to garner support from many local businesses and organizations.

We were blessed with a hand-washing station last year and a cooking demonstra-tion unit this year from Waste Management. Our first food demonstration was a tailgate lunch menu using produce from the market. The variety of entertainment has been done mostly by volunteers.

The AIFM has a regular fol-lowing of happy citizens that come every Sunday. Our sea-son was jammed with special events, including International Day, Kids Day, Dog Days of Summer, Senior Appreciation Day, National Farmers Market Week, Sister City Day and a chili cook-off between the Au-burn Police Department and Valley Regional Fire Authority, which raised donations given to the Auburn Food Bank for those in need.

Federal health care law will worsen doctor shortage

President Obama’s na-tional health care law, the Affordable Care Act, will extend health care cover-age to tens of millions of uninsured Americans.

But health care cover-age isn’t the same as health care.

The problem is a shortage of doctors. The New York Times reports that, just as the ACA is poised to add millions to the health insurance rolls, the U.S. is on the brink of a critical doctor shortage. The Association

As the many citizens who have recently toured Auburn High School can attest, the building’s vital systems and infrastructure are past their serviceable life.

Repairs do not upgrade the facility, nor give our students the learning en-vironment they need and deserve, but rather only preserve a building and infrastructure woefully in need of replacement.

With construction and borrowing costs at record

low levels, the district committed to keeping school taxes flat for the average Auburn hom-eowner and eligible state matching funds totally $25 million dollars, inac-tion this year will only cost more money in the future.

Don’t believe market’s rankings

In response to the letter by Bill Peloza about the Au-burn International Farmers Market (“Meager market, shame on you”, Reporter, Sept. 21), it sounded to me like another political partial truth we read or hear so much about lately.

As far as the AIFM being 12th best in the United States? I don’t think so. I went on the Web, and the only one listed in Washing-ton state was the University District in Seattle.

The statement about being one of the top 5 favorites in Washington state? I’m not sure who even knew about voting for that, but I did see there were a total of 32 votes for the AIFM. I suspect those votes were made by the market volunteers and the City Council.

I visited the market prob-ably three times this year and yes, I was disappointed and did not make a pur-chase. Maybe I just picked the wrong days to go.

It did not appear to me that there were more ven-dors or people attending it than last year.

I hope in the future it does better, but it will not be on my list to attend.– Becky Prenovost

Farmers market needs growth

I would think the Au-burn residents are thinking shame on you, Bill Peloza, for sitting on the City Council and being satisfied with the Auburn Farmers Market. You would think, you being the founder of the market, you would strive for growth, not mo-notony.

Instead of taking a defen-sive stand, take a hard look at the market and realize it has great potential to be amazing with an additional variety of vendors. After four years, the market has not shown any growth in

vendors or customers. The market needs

something that the people of Auburn would be proud to visit.– Mary Rividus

Applebee’s comes through

Thanks to Applebee’s restaurant of Auburn For making the Auburn Disas-ter Fair a “hive” of activity.

The loan of their mascot and Joey Martinez-Carlsen (to support the ‘Bee) made many people smile.

White River Valley Citizen Corps Council wishes to express our gratitude for all the support from Applebee’s and their employees.– Jodi Riker

Support R-74 I am writing in response

to Steve Altick’s letter (“Retain meaning of mar-riage”, Reporter, Sept. 21) concerning Referendum 74; the legalization of same-sex marriage.

Mr. Altick states that the issue is about a defini-tion of marriage that has “stood the test of time” and is not about rights because “gay couples have already

achieved the basic rights and have not been discrimi-nated against.”

I respectfully disagree. I would argue that any couple who desires marriage does so for very similar reasons, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. We all want to celebrate our commitment to the one we love. However, when one group of people gains “rights” (benefits such as child custody, medical de-cision-making power, access to family insurance policies, inheritance, etc.) through marriage while another group is denied those same rights and benefits based solely on sexual orientation, that is the very definition of discrimination.

Voting against Referen-dum 74 is voting to support this kind of discrimination.

It would be nice if those who profess to value marriage so much would stop being insecure about their own marriages being threatened and would instead be generous in shar-ing the joy of marriage with others who desire it also.

I think marriage is great. Therefore, I’m voting for Referendum 74.– Jeff Friend

of American Medical Col-leges estimates that by 2015, the U.S. will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed, a figure that will more than double by 2025.

Critics fear such short-ages will result in long waits for treatment, a problem that plagues universal health care programs. In Britain, the number of pa-tients waiting more than six months for inpatient treat-ment rose 43 percent in 2011, even as the National Health Service treated fewer patients.

The British Medical As-sociation said the situation was inevitable: “Given the massive financial pressures on the NHS, it was always likely that hospital activity would decrease and waiting times would increase,” said a spokesperson.

Massachusetts, which ad-opted universal health care in 2006, is having similar problems. The Associated Press reports that a survey last year by the Massa-chusetts Medical Society found long waits just to get a doctor’s appointment: an average of 48 days for an internist and 36 days for a physician of family

medicine – and more than half of primary care doctors are no longer taking new patients. To make matters worse, state lawmakers capped reimbursements for doctors and hospitals in a desperate effort to stem ris-ing health care costs.

Part of the problem is that the baby boom genera-tion is getting older.

“Older Americans require significantly more health care,” said Dr. Darrell G. Kirch, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges. “Older individuals are more likely to have multiple chronic conditions, requiring more intensive, coordinated care.”

But the national health reform law itself is creating challenges. The ACA will funnel millions of unin-sured into an expanded Medicaid program which is already suffering from a doctor shortage due to low reimbursements.

How will the program handle millions more patients when its current

roster of doctors is dwin-dling?

In addition, about a third of the nation’s doctors are nearing retirement. But the federal law may prompt even more doctors to leave the profession. A survey of physicians by The Doctors Company, the nation’s larg-est medical liability insurer, found that 43 percent of the respondents were consider-ing retiring within the next five years because of the federal law.

The future may not look much better. Nine out of 10 physicians who re-sponded to the survey said they wouldn’t recommend health care as a profession. One primary care physician commented, “I would not recommend becoming an M.D. to anyone.”

Dr. Donald J. Palmisano, former president of the American Medical As-sociation, warns, “Today, we are perilously close to a true crisis as newly insured Americans enter the health care system and our popu-

lation continues to age.” If current physicians leave the practice early because of the health law, the problem will get even worse.

Medical schools are gearing up to turn out more doctors, but it will take at least a decade to produce an additional 3,000 doctors, a tiny fraction of what’s needed.

The Affordable Care Act — and our state’s own health reform law — were supposed to increase preventive care and reduce costly emergency room use by the uninsured. But with a shortage of primary care physicians, preventive care will remain elusive, and our emergency rooms will stay jammed for decades.

So, our state and federal officials must answer this question: How will you ensure that people actually get the affordable health care you promised?

When Katelyn Cooper was 2 years old she was clicking photos from a film-loaded Fisher-Price camera.

“She was doing perspec-tive shots before her third birthday,” said her mother, Nicole.

Today the Auburn girl has become a blossoming artist, a precocious amateur photographer behind the

lens of a multi-faceted Canon.

Nature and wildlife capture the imaginative eye of 12-year-old Katelyn, a quick study with the shut-ter, whose beautiful images are on display in the Cheryl Sallee Gallery at the Au-burn Senior Activity Center through October.

“There’s something about nature and its beauty,” said Katelyn, a seventh-grader at Seabury Middle School,

an independent school for gifted children in Tacoma. “There’s nothing fake. It’s pure.”

Her photos – from crit-ters to rural-scapes - are genuine and intriguing.

“She sees things differ-ently,” said Katelyn’s father, Wes, a photographer him-self. “She takes angles that I don’t even consider.”

To hone her skills and build her technical founda-tion with a camera, Katelyn completed a photography class with the Mountain-eers, the first of her age to do so with the Seattle-area group.

Katelyn, who has been

selling her photography since she was 9, has won several photography contests, including a second place in a contest co-sponsored by National Geographic.

“It would be cool to be a National Geographic pho-tographer,” she said.

In March, she sold her photos, raising nearly $1,000 to help classmates’ cultural trip to France.

In May, she participated in Auburn’s Art Walk event, and has been asked to return for future art events in Auburn.

For Katelyn, photography is a passionate hobby she wishes to express artistically for many years to come.

Angels Without Wings Founda-tion of Monterey, Calif.

Competition is for American poets age 50 and up.

With this award McBreen has the unique distinction of hold-ing three poet laureate positions simultaneously. In celebration of its centennial year (2009), the Pacific City Council appointed him its poet laureate. A few

months later, Auburn Morning Toastmasters honored him with the same title.

Among his other awards he was named Poet of the Month in the summer issue of the online publi-cation, Irish American Post.

McBreen’s winning poem, “Fellow Traveler”, soon will be published in the anthology Golden Words 2012. McBreen

We have once again wrapped up the annual Best of Auburn readership poll and the winners are finalists are within the pages of today’s paper. The increase year over year of ballots both online and in-print is amazing. Thank you to those who took the time to vote for their favorites in Auburn.

It is so nice to see a community take such pride in their retailers, people and service providers that make Auburn the great city it is. There were multiple categories this year where we had ties

in the winner and finalist rankings. I would like to congratulate everyone who received votes and also thank the loyal readers of the Auburn Reporter for their support this year.

After many hours of counting votes and then bestowing the honor of drawing the winners for the great prizes donated by Rottles Clothing & Shoes and Oddfellas Pub & Eatery to my creative design manager, Julie Black, I am thrilled to present you the 2012 Best of Auburn as picked by the readers of the Auburn Reporter.

First of all I would like to thank my patients and the Auburn Reporter for considering me for this year’s Best Doctor of Auburn. It has been my privilege to serve my patients for the last 8 years and I truly enjoy what I do and the people I take care of in this community! I’ve come to know many of the families and patients on a personal basis. I am gratified by the enrichment this has brought to my life and hope that I have provided some of that same enrichment to my patients’ lives.

Thank you again for your consideration and I welcome your support for this nomination.

Wagner welcomes chance to skate at Kent showcaseBy MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

For Ashley Wagner, it’s more than just show and tell.

Events like the Hilton HHonors Skate America at the ShoWare Center on Oct. 19-21 bring out the best in the reigning U.S ladies figure skating champion.

She intends to compete and win, meeting her high expectations.

“For me, it’s so exciting because I worked so hard to get to this level of my skating,” said Wagner, a strong hopeful to make the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team. “So now that I’m at this level of my skating, I can travel around, per-form and compete.

“It’s extremely reward-ing. All the hard work is paying off.”

Wagner is one of sev-eral national champions who are expected to join a strong international presence for the showcase on Kent ice. Olympic champion Evan Lysacek –

who intends to defend his Olympic title at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia – is among the big names scheduled to ap-pear in Kent.

Other current U.S. champions – Jeremy Ab-bott (men’s), Caydee Den-ney and John Coughlin (pairs) and Meryl Davis and Charlie White (ice dancing) – also have been invited to Kent.

Hilton HHonors Skate America is the opening event of the International Skating Union’s Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series.

Such events enable the 21-year-old Wagner to remain sharp and focused

U.S. CHAMPION AIMS FOR THE ‘14 OLYMPICS

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Big-play Harold Lee returns for TrojansHarold Lee, right, scampers for yardage against Kentridge. Lee, a senior running, defensive back and returner, keyed the Trojans’ 42-7 win against Tahoma, with five touchdowns and 333 yards of total offense. RACHEL CiAMPi, Auburn Reporter

BY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Physically and mentally, last football season put Harold Lee through the ringer.

After a promising start to his junior year with the Auburn High School Trojans, the 5-foot-9, 160-pound receiver, de-fensive back and returner broke his leg in the second game.

No big hit, no cataclys-mic collision, but the mo-ment gouged itself a spot in Lee’s memory.

“It was against Mount Rainier, just a pass play going to me,” Lee recalled. “The ball was short, so I jumped off and twisted and my tibia snapped. I felt it snap and heard it. It

hurt. The trainer didn’t tell me that it had snapped, but I knew.”

The break forced him to the sidelines, where he had to watch the Trojans struggle to put together a 4-6 record and miss out on the postseason for the first time in a decade.

“Sitting on the bench was hard,” Lee said. “It wasn’t the biggest role, but I had to be there for the team. Up or down, I had to be there, let them know I’m there, just like every-body else on that sideline.”

The effects on the team were just as severe.

“We kind of anticipated him being a big play player for us last year, but we didn’t have him,” said Au-burn head coach Gordon Elliott. “And we lost a lot

of games last year by one score, so he probably could have made a big difference for us last year, if he was healthy.”

Now, Lee is back – in a big way.

In the Trojans’ last two games, Lee has helped drive lopsided victories against Kentridge and Tahoma.

In the teams’ 42-7 win against Tahoma this past Friday at Maxwell Sta-dium, Lee erupted for 333 yards of offense and five touchdowns, including two interception returns, a kick return, a rushing TD and a pass reception for a score.

“That’s a big game,” Elliott said. “Even my best teams that I’ve had out here, it’s been a real battle going out there. To have

that kind of margin, we’ve never done that out there. And they’re a good team, a playoff-caliber team. We just did some things they weren’t able to adjust to.”

“As a team we were focused on getting a W on the road,” Lee said. “Their quarterback decided to throw the ball, and it just kept landing in my hands. It’s a very big win. They made the playoffs last year. It’s another step for us to make the playoffs and go forward.”

At this time last season, the Trojans were in the midst of a five-game losing streak.

The big difference this year, Lee said, is discipline and commitment.

Local cross country runners on course

Trevor Love will look to return to the state 4A meet. RACHEL CiAMPi, Auburn Reporter

REPORTER STAFF

The youth movement is on for the Auburn Riverside boys cross country team.

This season the Raven boys head into the season with just three seniors on the roster.

As usual, however, the roster is deep with talented runners.

This year’s crew is led by senior Trevor Love, who was 53rd at last year’s Washington State 4A cham-pionship meet, posting a personal record time of 16 minutes, 23.5 seconds.

This year, he’s already bested that time by more than a second, running a 16:22.00 on Sept. 22 at the Bellevue High School Invitational.

Auburn Riverside also looks to juniors Trevor Gesell, Patrick Mc-Farland, Andrew Cooper and Isaiah Tiangson, as well as sophomore Nick Rogerson to contribute.

For the Auburn Riverside girls, junior Rachel Covey is making her presence felt with the 18th best 4A time in the state. Covey posted a 19:25.65 at the Bellevue Invitational, smashing her previous personal best of 19:45.8.

Last season Covey ran in the West-side Classic District Meet, but did not move on to the state meet.

Also back for the Ravens is senior Lauren Saunders, whose best time this season is a 20:38.4 set at the

Fort Steilacoom Invite on Sept. 15. Saunders looks to ramp up as the season progresses, aiming to break her personal best time of 20:11.5, which she set as a sophomore.

The Auburn Riverside girls also look to seniors Cheri Broch, Grace Wer-ran and Lisa Ngo and sophomore Claire Kerbs.

Next up for the Ravens is a tri-meet at Kentlake with Kent-Meridian on Oct. 3.

ALSO: The Auburn boys team will again be keyed by senior Tyler Flannery, who looks to punch his ticket to state for the first time this season. Flan-nery’s best time so far this year is a 16:58 posted against Auburn, Kent-lake and Tahoma earlier this season. Flannery is joined by senior Bren-nan Wallin, sophomore Tyler Perrin, juniors Nick Vale and Adam Stafford, and freshman Cameron Link... For the past two seasons, Auburn senior Anna deCarteret has made the cut for the state 4A girls championships. Although she has yet to get near the 19:15.4 personal best she ran as a sophomore at the state meet, she looks to make it three straight state ap-pearances this season. So far this year her best time is the 20:41.5 she ran on Sept. 12. Also on the roster for the Trojan girls are senior Anna Starr, juniors Kimberly Ander-son, Madeleine Jones and Ececia Tobin and sopho-more Denielle Wallin. The Trojans’ next meet is Oct. 3 against Kentridge and Kentwood .. This year looks to be a rebuild year for the Auburn Mountainview boys cross country team. Last year

the team made its third appearance at the Wash-ington State 3A champi-onship meet. Four of the team’s top-five runners from last season are gone, including Dylan Sum-merlin and Ethan Rum-baugh, who graduated, and senior Chris Scharer who chose to concen-trate on his studies this season. New coaches Tim Tubbs and Brandon Beck look to senior Aarun Rumbaugh to help pick up the slack this season... As always, turnout is a struggle for the Auburn Mountainview girls. This year’s roster boasts just five girls, Allison Ham-mer, Rachelle Kline, Avdeep Mangat, Caitlyn Hogencamp and Alyssa Rumbaugh.

“We’re more focused on discipline and our assign-ments and alignments in the game,” Lee said. “Coach will remind us (that we didn’t make the playoffs last year). When we have our senior meetings he’ll let us know that last year we weren’t a playoff team. This year, we’re more focused though, so getting to the playoffs is going to be our biggest goal going throughout the year.”

Elliott said Lee’s off-season work has been instrumental to the team’s success this year.

“He’s been around four years and he’s working hard,” Elliott said. “He worked hard this summer, balancing his

football and his basketball. He’s always been a basketball-first guy, football was just something he would do. But he did a pretty good job this summer of balancing that and getting all his football commitments taken care of. So that shows leadership in itself, doing the things you’re supposed to do and getting yourself ready for the season.”

Lee admits that this year’s decision to turn out for his final year on the Auburn football squad was difficult, especially realizing that a foot-ball injury could also impact his basketball career. Still, he said, he felt he had to exploit his ability on the gridiron.

“Family and friends criticize me for playing

both sports,” Lee said. “I’ve got some that say, ‘you’re a basketball player, you should do that,’ and then I’ve got the football family that think I should just play that because I’m good at it. I made my decision and I know I’m a good athlete.”

And regardless of where the Trojans finish up this season, Lee just hopes he continue his athletic career at the next level.

“I’m just hoping to go to a Division I college,” Lee said. “I’m a basketball player, but I’ll go wherever I get a scholarship, whichever sport. Hopefully both. But I’m just going to keep trying, doing what I can and keep working hard.”

Michael and Amy Feuerborn’s Class Included became only the second filly or mare to be honored as Horse of the Meeting as Emerald Downs an-nounced its season honors Sunday on closing day of the track’s 17th season.

Trained by Jim Penney, the ultra-consistent 4-year-old filly rattled off three stakes victories, compiled a 4-1-0 record in five starts overall, and fin-ished first in earnings with $112,575. A Feuerborn homebred by Include out of A Classic Life, Class Included has five stakes wins in two seasons at Emerald Downs and her career mark is 9-6-0 in 15 starts with earnings of $323,224. She now has won three titles at Emerald Downs: 2012 Horse of the Meeting, 2012 Top Older Filly or Mare and 2011 Top 3-Year-Old Filly.

Horse of the Meeting was hotly contested as Makors Finale and Win-ning Machine also received multiple votes. Neither went home empty-handed as Makors Finale, the meet’s only four-time stakes winner, received honors as Top 3-year-Old Male and Top Washington-Bred, and Winning Machine, who missed by a head to Taylor Said in the Grade 3 Longacres Mile, was voted Top Older Horse and Top Sprinter.

Tom Wenzel, trainer of Makors Finale, and Frank Lucarelli, condi-tioner of Winning Machine, enjoyed sensational meetings.

In addition to Makors Finale, Wen-zel trained Top Juvenile Filly Goin to the Window and multiple stakes-win-ning 3-year-old filly Exclusive Diva, and Wenzel’s eight stakes wins tied for third highest total in track history.

Lucarelli claimed his second straight Emerald Downs training title and fifth overall by a 43-40 margin over 10-time champion Tim McCanna. During the meet, 55-year-old Lucarelli joined Tim McCanna as the only trainers to win 700 races here and just missed winning his first Mile, as 6-year-old Winning Machine battled head-and-head with Taylor Said in the 77th running of the Northwest’s biggest race.

Winning Machine’s owners – Dr. Raymond Kwik and Paul Goldberg – also own Top 3-Year-Old Filly Cham-

pagneandcaviar, who emerged from the claiming ranks to win both the Washington Oaks and Kent Handicap for trainer Howard Belvoir. Both Win-ning Machine and Champagneand-caviar are Kentucky-breds out of the same dam, Dance With Carson.

The steady Juan Gutierrez captured his first Emerald Downs riding title by a 117-97 margin over defending champion Leslie Mawing, and the 43-year-old Gutierrez posted a track record 26.5 win percentage and was honored with Top Riding Achieve-ment. The 2012 meet marked the 11th straight year that Gutierrez finished in the top five in the standings, and he also moved into second place all-time with 995 wins at Emerald Downs.

Don Munger was tabbed for Top Training Achievement after saddling career-high 20 winners at age 88.

Munger and wife Wanda also were the meet’s leading owners with 20 wins.

Other awards went to 23-year-old Eliska Kubinova for a record 75 wins by an apprentice rider, and jockey Javier Matias and trainer Dan Markle were recognized with the Lindy Award and Durkan Award for achievement and sportsmanship.

between the long, hard regi-ment of training.

The 5-foot-3, German-born Wagner trains an average of 20-25 hours a week, just on ice. She also puts in long hours in the gym, doing cardio, running, hot yoga and swimming to enhance flexibility, endur-ance and strength.

All that preparation en-ables Wagner to produce a technically sound, compact eight-minute routine on ice. She has emerged over the past few seasons, adding a triple flip-triple toe to her short program, something she calls “a necessity.”

Wagner performed well in her short and free skate programs at the pressure-packed 2012 World Championships, where she finished fourth overall. She is the current Four Con-tinents champion and a two-time (2008 and 2010) U.S. bronze medalist. She has won five medals in the Grand Prix Series.

“The public might not know how just hard of a sport it is,” said Wagner, of Alexandria, Va., who trains under coaches John Nicks and Phillip Mills in South-ern California. “My job is to make it look perfect and easy. But at the same time, they don’t really know that we’re on the ice four hours, maybe even more, a day. … So much work goes into it.”

Wagner began to skate at age 5 in Alaska. She grew up in a military family, moving nine times in her younger years.

The frequent travel and changes matured her be-yond her years.

“It has made me very adaptable,” she said.

After Kent, there is more travel associated with a full schedule in front of Wagner as she prepares for the 2013 Worlds at London, Ontario,

Canada in March and the chance to qualify for the Olympics.

“I just don’t want to go to the Olympics, I want to go and be competitive,” said Wagner, who is ranked 12th in the world.

After her skating career, Wagner plans to pursue a career in sports broadcast-ing and remain in figure skating as an ambassador. She supports Classroom Champions, the Wounded Warriors Fund and Skate for Hope.

Wagner enjoys the op-portunity to visit Kent and perform for the audience.

“It’s great to be coming out to the Northwest. The fans are awesome,” Wagner said. “Everyone is going to be able to fill it up pretty easily and make it nice and noisy. It will make for a wonderful event.

“The audience can ex-pect great competition. We have some really top-notch skaters coming in,” she said. “It’s going to be an awesome event.”
