Man charged with attempted murder in stabbing of wife

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Joan Goodwillie said her husband told her he had met someone else, wouldn’t divorce her because he “wanted the money” and was going to kill her. According to court papers, the 78-year-old man then picked

up an ax handle, smashed his 67-year-old wife on the head several times with it, seized a knife she’d been holding to defend herself and cut her throat. Court papers say that Jerold Goodwillie pursued his bleeding wife outside and stabbed her three times in the back where she’d col-

The crash happened in the blink of eye, too quick for an awestruck spectator to react. “I yelled, ‘My God, he’s going to crash,” Don Rottle said. In a matter of seconds, Rottle – the retired general manager and owner of Auburn’s Rottles Department Store – went from being an onlooker at just another Reno, Nev., air race to being a witness to a tragedy that claimed 11 people, including the pilot, and injured dozens more on Sept. 16. “I was in the box seats with my friends and I watched the airplane above me, but he was

For now it’s merely a grassy, boggy bit of land off the beaten path at the end of A Street Northeast, accessible also by a trail behind Fred Meyer. But for 12 young adults living with traumatic brain injuries, this bare plot will soon be the center of their world, the place they call home. Last week supporters broke ground there on what will be Terry Home’s second sanctuary, 15 years after Mary Norman, family and supporters opened the first facility in Pacific to provide an alternative to a nursing home for her then18-year-old son, Terry, and other young adults who had sustained traumatic brain injuries. “It means we’ll be able to

The total cost of building and furnishing Terry Home 2 will be about $1.2 million, and the nonprofit has all but $100,000. The board has submitted grant applications to

help 12 more young adults who have survived a traumatic brain injury, and four of those are going to be veterans,” said Myla Montgomery, president of Terry Home’s board of directors. “We’re just so excited we’re going to be able to help them.” With a waiting list of 25 people, some of them on it for five years, Montgomery added, the board felt the time was right to start another home for TBI survivors. “It’s so hard for families to try and take care of a person who has survived, or to try to do it on your own. It’s also hard to see your loved one in a geriatric nursing home when they’re so young,” Montgomery said. In 1986, Mary Norman went looking for a home for her son, who had sustained a traumatic brain injury in a car accident on Green Valley Road that had left him in a coma for three months. He stayed in rehabilitation until the insurance money was exhausted. The only place for him at the time was a

www.auburn-reporter.com [ DEBATE from page 1 ] enforcement, the problem of downtown parking and what they believe the City’s priorities should be. Haugen, a California native who has lived in Auburn since 1964, described her love for the city, recalled decades of political activism that include work with the Auburn School District, a term on the City Council in the mid-’90s, and her past membership on the Neely Mansion Association. “I am about accountability and looking out for the guy who doesn’t always have a voice,” Haugen said. Haugen repeated her wellknown opposition to downtown redevelopment at this time when the City is cash strapped. She described red light photo enforcement cameras as a necessary evil and insisted that the City did not have a problem with gangs, it had a problem with families. Haugen opposes further borrowing of money or taxing of residents to pay for street repair and construction, insisting it would just drive more people from their homes. Asked to describe instances where she had demonstrated her ability to work with others, Haugen reached back 17 years to her term on the Council in 1994-

1995 and “tough decisions’ reached on Emerald Downs and the Auburn SuperMall. Throughout the event, Haugen returned to a recurring theme, variously expressed as, “Auburn is a mess,” and “Auburn is in Haugen Holman serious trouble, and “we’re in Osborne deep.” At the end of the night from a labor perspective on the job she dismissed most of the as a police officer and in Iraq workquestions as “irrelevant” because, ing with Shi’a, Sunnis and Christians she said, the City has no money. to form a police department in the Given the increasing number of middle of a civil war … My entire homeless and the alarming numbers life has been spent in public service,” of desperate unemployed, she adHolman said. monished city residents: “It’s going Holman said the solution to to get worse, folks.

City Council. He is a member of “My background, my success the City’s Planning Commission has been in negotiations, both and the Airport Advisory Board.

“I know how the City works,” Osborne said. Asked how the City should fund street and road repair and construction, Osborne demonstrated a quick command of what he had learned in those meetings. Today, Osborne noted, the City has the taxpayer-funded Save Our Streets program, which provides about $10 million for the residential streets, a 1-percent utility tax that provides $1.6 million for the arterials, and receives $400,000 from gas taxes. “Obviously, that’s not enough to bring the roads up to the condition we’d like to have them, so we’re going to have to find additional revenues from somewhere. That’s one thing as a councilmember I will work hard at is trying to determine where we find that money … The roads need to be brought up to a standard that is acceptable to all the citizens,” Osborne said. As for addressing merchant complaints about the downtown parking situation, Osborne noted that Sound Transit has promised to build a second parking garage west of the BNSF tracks, which it hasn’t done. He said the City needs to keep pressing Sound Transit to follow through. Osborne supports economic development. While some people say

the City should be not involved in economic development, he said it’s something the City should encourage incentives. In contrast to everyone else, Lonergan said he is a “relative newcomer” to Auburn, having lived her for about 10 years. In the 1990s, he said, he served four years on the City Council of Snoqualmie. He is a retired navy veteran. He said he worked well as a team member and is a hard worker and problem solver. He said he is dissatisfied with the current City government, and will not be a yes man on the Council. Lonergan was the sole person on stage to express dissatisfaction with Auburn police. “When a citizen has a robbery and calls the police department, they should rightfully expect to see a police officer at their door, they should rightfully expect a proper investigation, which includes fingerprinting,” Lonergan said. “I don’t know if our officers have the ability to take fingerprints on scene. I’ve never seen it, and I’ve had two break-ins, one of which stole some burglary tools. Did the police come out and try to get fingerprints? No. Did the police show up? No. When you call, you should get a response, and it should be a live person.” [ more DEBATE page 6 ]

[6] October 7, 2011 [ ROTTLE from page 1 ] The next moment the plane – manned by Jimmy Leeward, 74, an experienced air racer and pilot – banked left, then right and pitched up. According to the National Transportation Safety Board’s preliminary report, the “Galloping Ghost” reportedly lost a piece of the airframe, possibly an elevator trim tab that helps control the planes stability. It went through “roll and pitch variations” before descending in “an extremely noselow attitude and colliding with the gourd in the box seat area near the center of the grandstand seating area.”

www.auburn-reporter.com “You just heard the roar of the airplane coming down,” Rottle recalled. “I put my head down thinking he was going to crash into us, and when I looked Rottle up, it had hit and exploded. It didn’t burn, but it broke into a million pieces, like shrapnel. Thankfully it didn’t burn, there was fuel in there but it didn’t burn.” According to Rottle, who emerged unscathed along with those in his immediate vicinity, the crash happened a mere 200-250 feet away. “(My box seats were) No. 615 and 616, and the airplane crashed in No. 40,”

Rottle said. “They immediately roped it off. Everyone was just saying, ‘Oh, my God.’ They wouldn’t let people in there, naturally. The medics were wonderful. They did such a great job. They got the people who were injured off to the hospital.” Rottle and the remaining spectators were asked to leave the area. He and his friends complied, flying home the next day. The remaining two days of the race were cancelled. Although Rottle considers air racing no more dangerous than NASCAR, he expects the sport will make changes. “I’ve watched a few

crashes and some fatalities, but never have I seen anything like this,” Rottle said. “Whether they have races again, I don’t know. But I really think they’ll change the rules somewhat. … It was a freak thing, unfortunate.” The official cause of the crash is still being investigated. It could take six to nine months for the cause to be officially determined. For Rottle, however, the tragedy will remain with him much longer. “We were stunned, absolutely stunned, then we realized what happened,” he said. “Thankfully we didn’t get killed, I really thought that was it. I thought I was going to die. It wasn’t my time, I guess.”

The neighbor knocked on the door but heard no response and called 911. Police arrived to find a white pickup truck in the garage and a woman in the truck bed, bleeding profusely from stab wounds to her back. The woman told investigators that her husband had repeatedly stabbed her but that she had stumbled outside and fallen on the grass. According to Williams’ account, the injured woman said she had lain on the grass for some time before her husband returned, wearing rubber gloves and carrying garbage bags. She told police he tried to strangle her and place one of the bags over her head, but she begged him to let her die while she lay looking at the sky. “Jerold then sat down, lit a cigarette and began to drink coffee,” Williams wrote. “Joan stated that Jerold complained it was taking too long for

Joan Goodwillie said she lay still and he grabbed her and loaded her into the back of the truck. Ultimately she escaped and rolled herself down the driveway and onto the street, hoping someone would see her. When her husband picked her up, he took her back to the garage, telling her, “you’re going to die here.” When officers arrived they saw Mr. Goodwillie walk through a door from the house into the garage, wearing only pants and gloves, his arms covered in blood. In addition to at least three stab wounds on her back, one of which lacerated a lung, Joan Goodwillie sustained a deep laceration to her left thumb, which severed or severely injured her tendons.

Domestic violence strikes men

Women are not the only victims of domestic violence. Lisa Moore knows this from personal, painful experience. Her brother, 45-year-old Randy Ferguson, was shot to death by his wife five years ago, bringing a terrible end to years of constant verbal and emotional abuse. “I watched my brother suffer in shame for years,” Moore said. “It was hard for me. I introduced my brother to her. They seemed to have it all together in the beginning, but I quickly learned I had made the biggest mistake of my life. … She was controlling, manipulative and jealous.” And violent. Although physically half her husband’s imposing size, Angela Ferguson’s relentless harassment psychologically and emotionally reduced the man to nothing, Moore recalled. Beaten down, his self-esteem crushed, he watched all his hopes for salvaging his marriage crash in dust, smoke and ruins. It all ended in 2006 when the enraged woman shot Randy twice in the head at point-blank range at their South Hill home. The wife was later convicted and is serving 26½ years in prison for murder. The tragedy changed Moore’s life. She adopted and is raising her brother’s daughter, Alison, who was 4 at the time of the homicide. “Considering, she is doing well,” Moore said of the child, who is now 9 and a fourthgrader. “Alison forever will have those memories sketched in her head. She still can recall that night like it happened yesterday, unfortunately.” Moore, a wife and mother of three children, today shares the emotional and disturbing story of her brother’s death to help others who might be in similar peril. She has become a volunteer victim advocate, an impact public speaker who started a support

EDITOR’S NOTE

Question of the week:

● Q UO T E O F NO T E : ”(The) acquittal is a dramatic vindication for Amanda, her family and friends. (They) have been unrelenting in their pursuit of justice. After so much agony, their four-year ordeal can now come to an end.” – King County Executive Dow Constantine, applauding Monday’s reversal of a murder conviction of Amanda Knox and her release.

Time to act, help those with mental illness Mental Illness Awareness Week is Oct. 2-8. As a member of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) South King County Affiliate, I would like to ask Auburn Reporter readers what comes to mind when you think of an individual experiencing mental illness? What is your awareness of how they live out their lives? Of course, the media often portrays those with these disorders as

dangerous potential or confirmed criminals. And so the media should in some cases. But my challenge to us all is to also reflect on the vast majority of individuals with mental illness who walk shoulder to shoulder with us day by day … and live out their lives as responsible and productive citizens. Even I, as one who has studied mental illness for decades, was startled to discover a new statistic from

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This research reveals that about one-half of all U.S. adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime. In light of this reality, it seems fitting for us all to look around ourselves and be acutely aware of mental illness, for we are all very vulnerable to experience mental illness close to home … in ourselves, in our families and in our

abounded accordingly. Our generation is faced with a 19th-century Constitution in Washington state that proclaims “education is a paramount duty of the state.” However, the culture of the USA in the 21st century has changed. Our forefathers did not consider that programs of medical care, family assistance, etc., merited such distinction. The present generation, as exemplified by our state Legislature, places these programs on a par with education. Is it because the program benefactors vote? This presents an interesting problem for our generation. We must fund essential functions of state government – i.e., safety, police, courts, prisons, roads, etc. – plus education, [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

circles of friends. It then behooves us to respond with the utmost of compassion and concern. To assist us in awareness of mental illnesses, my NAMI South King County Affiliate purposes to meet the needs of patients who struggle with mental illness, as well as their families and friends, who live in the Auburn community. With our services offered nearby in Kent, NAMI South King County Affiliate welcomes all Auburn residents to avail themselves of our free services such as support groups for patients, families and friends, [ more GUEST OP page 9 ]

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AT HOME

491306

Seniors who want to continue living independent lives at home may avail themselves of a wide array of devices that may help them to do so. Going beyond the medical alert pendants of the 1980s, newer and more advanced devices can now track an older person’s movements in the home with sensors that are linked to computers that can issue necessary alerts. There are also computerized pillboxes that keep track of medication schedules. These and other devices may be of great interest to the 90% of seniors who responded to a recent AARP survey by saying that they might be willing to give up some privacy if it enables them to live in their homes longer. PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY is pleased to bring you interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. When it becomes necessary, or more appealing for a senior to reside in a senior community where they can benefit from such an environment, we can provide the venue. Let us show you how we can assist you or a loved one. Reach us today at (253) 939-1332. You are invited to tour our unique senior community at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972. We’re here for you! P.S. Children of seniors may also take comfort from the fact that GPS (global positioning system) technology now makes it possible to track someone with dementia who has wandered off.

group for male victims of domestic violence. She also oversees the Domestic Violence Impact Panel in Lakewood. Last Friday, Moore was a guest speaker at an Auburn Domestic Violence Task Force rally at the City Hall Plaza, ushering in the community’s observance of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. She works closely with victims of violence and homicide. She was there for the distraught and torn families of the slain Lakewood police officers. Her passion and mission in life is to work on behalf of domestic violence victims, specifically men, and

spread the word that professional help is out there. Society often associates domestic violence with women, but emotionally scarred men are victims, too. “Everything is geared to the man being the monster and the woman being the victim, and I get that,” Moore said. “Women are way more abused. I’m not denying that. But we have to acknowledge that men are victims also. A lot of them are losing their lives. “It’s getting them to come out of the closet. … Women don’t like to come forward and report (domestic violence). Men don’t either,” Moore added. “These men are often ashamed beyond what you

could even imagine. They are just ashamed that they have allowed a woman to do this to them. “Society needs to realize that women can be abusive. They can be manipulative, jealous, and just trying to get that across to society has really been a struggle for me.” Moore is trying to make a difference. She pushed to change a state law that protected relatives who had assisted in crimes. Two of Angela’s stepchildren helped dispose of Randy’s body, hide evidence and lied to protect their mother. Under lenient laws at the time, they were charged with only a gross misdemeanor and avoided jail time.

Lisa Moore, a volunteer victim advocate, speaks to the crowd at Monday’s Auburn Domestic Violence Task Force rally at the City Hall Plaza. Moore shared her story of her brother, Randy Ferguson (background), who was murdered by his wife. Moore, who has adopted and is raising her late brother’s daughter, Alison (inset photo, background), is raising awareness and providing help for male domestic violence victims. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter But Moore worked four years to change the law. Gov. Chris Gregoire did so last year, signing “Randy’s Law,” which makes it a felony for adult relatives to render criminal assistance, punishable up to 10 years in prison. Moore continues to spread her support for victims through her work. She also is developing a support website, randysplace.org, for victims. Her mission is to help others so they might never

experience the horror and loss her family did. “What’s most disturbing is the kids, the innocent victims who are left behind,” she said. “Alison lost both parents in an instant. … This is a burden Alison now bears, a burden no child should have to.”

expanding in an attempt to get away from “Dancing with the Stars,” otherwise known as DWTS to those enamored with C-list celebrity ballroom dancing. On many different occasions, I have clearly articulated and enumerated my reasons for disliking DWTS (DWTS can also stand for “Don’t Watch This Show!”). Just in case you haven’t read or heard my previous complaints, I will summarize briefly. DWTS is a show where C-list stars ballroom dance. And that is pretty much the reason I can’t fathom its perpetual existence on the television calendar.

To make matters worse, I am in the minority in my observations and convictions concerning the show. Its popularity is not only inexplicable to me but also rather alienating. How can I exist in a world where rhythmically challenged, sequined pseudo-celebrities garner the attention of the masses? It might be a small world, but an entertainment chasm exists between my neighbor and me … or is it my mother-in-law and me? I genuinely love my motherin-law. I love her sincere love, kindness and faith. She has been nothing but supportive of me and my relationship with her daughter. She is a great friend and encourager. I truly love my mother-in-law … I am less enamored with her television preferences. Namely, we see things very differently when it comes to “Dancing with the Stars.” By seeing things differently,

[ BURSCH from page 10 ] I refer to the fact that I’d rather watch a CSPAN2 rerun of a House Appropriations Committee subhearing concerning how to eradicate the proliferation of Myrtle Wood Dung Beetles than watch a single episode of DWTS. My mother-in-law is on the other end of the spectrum. For her, DWTS is must-see TV. Which would be perfectly fine, if we were not currently staying at her house. While our house is being temporarily “fixed up,” we’ve had the privilege of staying at my in-laws’ house. Which has been of great benefit, except for one irritant … one schmaltzy, Nancy Grace foxtrotting,

Chaz Bono waltzing, Kardashian twirling irritant. Did you know that DWTS is on more than once a week? As best as I can conjecture, it is aired between three and seven times a week. Besides learning of DWTS frequency, I’ve also learned that I dislike hearing DWTS just as much as I dislike watching DWTS. Hearing DWTS through muffled walls is akin to being forced to sit through a firstyear violin recital without knowing any of the students in the program. In search of solace and a DWTS free zone, I usually head upstairs early to search my iPad for other entertainment options. I’ve even downloaded an NBC television app that gives me access to some of the televi-

sion programs I’ve been missing in my DWTS exile. This has given me some solace. However, I’ve confronted other new irritants in my new media ritual. It seems NBC is new to streaming free television on the iPad and other tablet devices. Either new to it, or inept. This is demonstrated by NBC’s choice to repeatedly interrupt every single streaming program for the purpose of running the same two commercials over and over and over again. If you think my sentence is redundant, then you haven’t yet used the NBC television app. In the last two

The 7,000 might be an exaggeration, but it’s a figure that best represents the emotional toll of seeing the same two ads, for the same program, over and over again. … I have no idea if “Whitney” is a good show, regardless, I will not watch it.

Confidence pays off for Lions AMV turns back No. 10 Bonney Lake, 33-28, for first-ever homecoming win By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Mondays traditionally are not the greatest times for the Auburn Mountainview football team. More often than not in seasons past, the first day of the week meant explaining weekend losses to fellow students and grueling practice sessions full of penance for game day errors.

OCT. 15TH TUESDAY

OCT. 18TH

Last Monday, however, things appeared much brighter for the emerging Lions, who beat No. 10 Bonney Lake, 33-28, in a South Puget Sound League 3A showdown last Saturday for the program’s first-ever homecoming win and the school’s first win over a ranked opponent. “It’s a lot more fun winning and coming back to school on Monday off a win,” said senior running back Victor Korchemniy, who scored four touchdowns against the Panthers at Auburn Memorial Stadium. “And it’s a lot better not having to run at practice on Monday for punishment.” On Friday, the Lions (1-0 league, 4-1 overall) look to

keep on the winning track with a 7 p.m. game against Enumclaw (0-1, 1-4) at Pete’s Pool. Auburn Mountainview has made a rapid transformation this season for a team that went 4-6 last year. “To be perfectly honest, I didn’t expect it this quick,” first-year coach Jared Gervais said of the sudden surge. “I knew we could beat those teams, but I wasn’t really sure it would happen this quick. “This group of seniors are really good and they’ve really bought in,” he added. “They’re good kids and [ more football page 14 ]

Auburn Riverside has long been a hotbed of distance running talent. This season that legacy rests securely on the shoulders of Korey Krotzer, the defending District III 4A boys cross country champion. Krotzer capped his district championship run with a fourth-place state finish last fall, covering Pasco’s 5,000-meter course in 15 minutes, 32.2 seconds and helping the Ravens secure a third-place finish. This season the Ravens’ senior is one of the top 20 runners in the country, according to Auburn Riverside coach William Sumner. Krotzer follows in the swift footsteps of his brother, Kenny, a threetime state cross country championship qualifier for the Ravens who now competes at Stanford University. “Korey is running really well with some very high expectations for state and beyond,” Sumner said. “I believe that if he can run consistently, he has an excellent shot at winning state.” So far this season, Krotzer has posted the state 4A’s third-best time of 15:24.37, which he

Korey Krotzer on the course during the Ravens’ tri-meet against Auburn and Jefferson last week. Rachel Ciampi, Reporter ran at the Sept. 24 Nike Pre-National race in Portland. It was Krotzer’s second-fastest career time behind the 15:20.8 he ran to win last year’s Westside Classic district meet. Krotzer joins fellow senior Sam Bailey to pace the Raves this season. Bailey, who also competed in the state meet last year, has delivered a best time of 16:43.82 this season. “Sam is much more consistent than he was last year and already running as well as he did at the end,” Sumner said.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ runners from page 12] by junior Tyler Flannery, who Also returning for the Ravens is junior Trevor Love, another state-class runner from last season. Rounding out the team’s varsity squad are senior Edward Yakimchuk and sophomores Mattias Gildeman, Patrick McFarland and Nik Scorniakoff. “We are young but improving weekly. We are really expecting great things from our top four guys,” Sumner said.

TROJANS The Trojans hope an experienced squad of returners, including No. 1 runner and senior co-captain Cody McCranie, leads them to a berth in the Westside Classic. “We only lost one of our top seven from last year, and everyone has improved, so we’re definitely a better team,” coach Greg Isham said. “We’re aiming to make it as a team to districts, which we haven’t done since our school split to form Auburn Mountainview.” Last year the Trojans had just one runner, McCranie, qualify for the district meet. This fall the team is paced

posted a 16:37 at last weekend’s Tomahawk Twilight Invitational in Marysville. In addition to McCranie and Flannery, the Trojans look to seniors Cole Frampton and Ryan Ball, juniors Brennan Wallin and Bridger Deschamps and freshman Tyler Perrin to strike the right balance between chemistry and performance and power the team to a district showing. “The top runners are a close-knit group,” Isham said. “They all have a great sense of humor, so we have a lot of fun joking around and kidding one another. While being devoted runners, they are well-balanced individuals with a lot going on in their lives besides running.”

LIONS The Lions showed a glimpse of their potential at last weekend’s Tomahawk Twilight Invitational, taking home fourth in the multiclassification team competition. Junior Chris Scharer led the way, finishing seventh. Scharer, a two-time state 3A competitor, has posted a career-best time of 16:21.2,

the 24th fastest 3A time in the state this season. Close behind Scharer is senior co-captain Dylan Summerlin, who looks to make his fourth state 3A appearance. Summerlin, who was fifth at subdistrict last year, is trading spots at the No. 1 spot with Scharer this season. Brothers Ethan Rumbaugh, a senior co-captain, and Aarun Rumbaugh round out the returning runners for the Lions. “(They) are brothers with very different personalities but who share a common work ethic, coach-ability, and an incredible desire to compete to the point of collapse,” coach Tyler Nugent said. “They are team-first runners, and it’s a joy to watch them continue to improve every season. (All) these guys work so hard every day in practice and put it all on the line race day. I’m hoping they will lead our team to great things come postseason.” Newcomer Jonah Zucati, a promising freshman, is making a good impression, Nugent said. “He’s a hard-working, coachable kid who has consistently improved,” he

said. “He’s been a big help to the varsity team thus far, and I expect his times to keep com-

ing down.” Nugent continued: “I have very high expecta-

tions for this group,” he said. “So far, they look like the best team in school history.”

they’re having fun. They’re really starting to believe that even though these other teams have had success in the past, they really aren’t better than them.” Individually, the team has a core of talented players, led by Korchemniy, who has rushed for 508 yards in five games and accounted for 11 touchdowns – eight running, two receiving and one on a fumble recovery. Junior quarterback Domenic Rockey is 102-of167 passing with 1,435 yards, 10 TDs and five interceptions. The Lions also boast a crops of top receivers in senior Skyler White (38 receptions for 475 yards and two TDs) and junior Devin Bryant (23 catches for 409 yards and three TDs). Also contributing have been junior J.J. Lacey (14 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown) and sophomore Joey Cassano (12 receptions for 207 yards and 2 TDs). Another crucial part of the puzzle this season has been the team’s offensive line play,

run. I thought ‘uh-oh,’ but (our guys) acted like it never happened. That’s what we’ve been working on with them, having a short memory and getting onto the next play.” Rockey agreed. “We’ve been making big plays when it’s not going well. We haven’t been getting down on ourselves.” Now the Lions hope that confidence provides a foundation as they head into SPSL 3A games against Enumclaw on Friday, No. 5 ranked Peninsula (0-1, 4-1) on Oct. 14, No. 2 ranked Lakes (1-0, 5-0) on Oct. 20 and Decatur (1-0, 4-1) on Oct. 27. “It’s huge for us to finally beat one of those teams,” Gervais said. “Now they see that if we can beat Bonney Lake, we can beat Enumclaw. If we can beat Enumclaw, we can beat Peninsula. If we can beat Peninsula, we can beat Lakes.” For Rockey, who went 21-of-33 passing for 298 yards and three touchdown passes against the Panthers, it’s all about remaining confident. “We don’t play to the level of our opponent,” he said.

“One big thing for us this year has been Dalton (Keene) and Derek Sarrett, having them both sacrifice and play guard,” Gervais said. “Dalton wanted to play running back, and Derek wanted to play receiver, but we needed them to play guard, and they did it. Without them doing that, we’d be in trouble. We definitely wouldn’t have been 4-1 if they hadn’t done that.” Domenic Rockey But the final piece of the puzzle, according to Gervais, has been the team’s mental toughness and confidence during games, as evidenced by the Lions’ ability to bounce back after big plays. “They did a good job against Bonney Lake,” Gervais said. “After Bonney Lake stopped us a couple times, on their first running play a guy (Panther Joe Surber) broke through for a 56-yard TD

“We just play the way Auburn Mountainview plays. We don’t take anybody lightly and we don’t exaggerate how good other teams are. Lakes is beatable. Just because they are ranked No. 2 and undefeated doesn’t mean we can’t win. It’s the same for every other team. “Year’s past, everyone was wondering if we were going to win games,” Rockey added. “Now we expect to

win every game.” ALSO: Auburn (2-3 SPSL North 4A, 2-3 overall) looks to rebound from last Friday’s 24-17 loss – its third straight – to Kentwood (3-1, 4-1) when the Trojans host SPSL South 4A Curtis (2-3, 2-3) at 7 p.m. Friday. “The only thing we have to do is get better,” Trojans coach Gordon Elliott said. “All we have control over is us get-

ting better, and not focusing on other teams and other years. And hopefully we can do that.” … Auburn Riverside looks to continue the momentum gained in its 57-14 win over Mount Rainier last Friday and improve on its 2-2 league, 3-2 overall record with a 7 p.m. Friday road game against Jefferson (3-2, 3-2) at Federal Way Stadium.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â€™s a n d b u y e r â€™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 sellerâ€™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 c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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.

Volunteers help beautify Pioneer REPORTER STAFF

A professional painter, Auburn’s Israel Lopez picked up a paint brush to bring a fresh coat of color to Pioneer Elementary School last Saturday. “I wanted to help out. I wanted to make my son’s school look better,” Lopez said between brush strokes. Lopez joined parents, teachers, former students, Starbucks staff and customers – a volunteer force of 41 strong – to spruce up the school. Auburn-area Starbucks selected Pioneer as a recipient of a community service project, leading a volunteer beatification effort to

weed, prune and plant on campus, help construct a gravel exercise trail and paint classroom doors and walkways. “When you start an outreach, everyone wants to pitch in,” said Principal Debra Gary. “They went above and beyond … we had great results.” PGH Excavating, Inc., Quality Rock Products, Corliss Resources, Inc., and Ewing Irrigation/Landscape contributed equipment, materials and manpower toward the Walk-to-Walk (exercise) Path Project. Amy Walters, store manager of the Starbucks by the SuperMall, and company volunteers were delighted to help out. “We felt Pioneer would benefit the most from the

type of work we put in,” she said.

Jennifer Wren, a Starbucks employee, and her children, Josh and Rhiannon, spend their morning volunteering at Pioneer Elementary School during a Starbucks community service project. CHARLES CORTES,

Elsewhere Lakeland Hills Elementary School is participating in the Think Recycle program, which gathers unwanted cell phones, laptops, Mp3s and digital cameras from the community and exchanges them for money. Greentec, the company behind Think Recycle, then processes and recycles the products, keeping the electronic waste from entering local landfill sites. “Our usual fundraising activities are great, but the Think Recycle program directly protects the environment,” said Polly Fitzgerald, rebates coordinator.

Auburn Reporter

The public can drop off unwanted cell phones, laptops, Mp3s and digital cameras at the Lakeland Hills Starbucks, 1408 Lake Tapps Drive SE, Suite E101, Auburn, or arrange a pickup by contacting Fitzgerald at lherebates@ gmail.com or 253-335-9935. In addition, the Lakeland Hills Top Food & Drug will have a collection box.
