According to the committee, 556 signatures from registered voters in Pacific were turned in. A minimum of 412 signatures are required to put the recall on a ballot. The Washington State Supreme Court denied Sun’s appeal of the

Auburn’s Tyler May greets Dr. Jill Biden, the Second Lady of the United States, as U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) looks on during the Golden Tennis Shoe Awards luncheon at The Westin in Seattle on Monday. Murray presented the award to the autistic

17-year-old Auburn High School senior for his work with Special Olympics. The awards honor individuals whose dedication and compassion have improved communities at home and throughout the state. Story, page 5.

Mayoral candidate Pondelick gets familiar with voters By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

As an Auburn newcomer and political outsider running against a couple of native borns

folks to remember his name, alongside those of councilmembers Nancy Backus and John Partridge. The three will vie in the

[ drive-in from page 1 ] Kieth Kiehl, the heart and soul of the theaters operation, employees say, died last December. The City Council approved an ordinance and a development agreement between the owners of the property, RPG, and the City in 2011 that allowed RPG to begin offering about 70 acres of property, including the Valley 6 and several adjacent properties at the city’s north end, for office, retail

and residential development. The Auburn Gateway Project site plan included in the development agreement shows a multi-phased development of 720,000 square feet of retail, 500 residential units and/or up to 1.6 million square feet of office space. It calls as well for an extension of I Street Northeast to South 277th. Mayor Pete Lewis put those numbers in perspective last year. “The last time the City did

“By taking all those funds and leveraging them to get state grants, we could use them to help pay for these different things,” Pondelick said As the City needs about $6.2 million for road maintenance, however, and with the state talking about making additional cuts to transportation funding, Pondelick noted, the City may have to include other options. Pondelick said another problem is the City’s communication, or lack thereof, with its residents. “There’s a lot of citizens I come across who say, ‘Yeah, we should have been told about things like — the waste transfer station or the courthouse changeover,’ “ Pondelick said. “Sometimes City people have to actually go out and talk to somebody. I’ve met people who have lived in Auburn for years and never met a candidate and never met anybody from the City doing anything.”

For almost a year, Pondelick has been bringing himself up to speed on City matters by attending all the meetings he has been able to, from meetings of the Auburn City Council meetings to meetings of the Public Works, Municipal Services, Finance, Planning and Community Development committees and recently the Les Gove Community Campus committee, the Transportation, Transit and Trails committee and the Auburn Farmers Market committee. “I look at it like a jigsaw puzzle: a puzzle with no picture for a reference and no defined shape of the pieces, but somehow they all work together,” Pondelick said. “Sometimes you hear the mayor say something at one meeting that references something else, and about two weeks later at another meeting you learn out what it’s tied into. I’m not in the know, but I can figure it out. So attending those meetings has been very helpful.”

something like this was the Lakeland Hills development, and this is on par with Lakeland Hills,” Lewis said. For several years, the City had negotiated with RPG on future development of the acreage, touching on preparation of an environmental impact statement, changes to the comprehensive plan and zoning code to authorize a mixed-used commercial zone, and preparation of a draft development agreement and a draft

Green River Community College hosts an open house and resource fair on Saturday with the goal of reaching out to prospective students. The Green River Open House and Resource Fair runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at Green River’s Auburn campus. Registration is free. “This open house highlights Green River’s many programs and services,” said Green River president Dr. Eileen Ely. “It will be an excellent way for people considering attending college to meet faculty, learn about programs and get help with the financial aid process.” The open house is designed for people who have never attended college or for students returning to college. Green River outreach staff will help prospective students through the admissions process, while faculty will be on hand to explain classes and programs. Staff from campus departments can give insight into the student services and campus life offered at Green River. Community-based organizations will also be at the resource fair.

planned action ordinance. In the development agreement, which lays out development guidelines, the RPG agreed that the layout and uses of the Auburn Gateway Project would follow these strictures: • Other than common areas, parking and access, no multiple family residential uses will be allowed on the ground floor of any building but only in upper stories of multi-story buildings. • It shall contain more full-

service, sit-down restaurants than fast food, including drive-thru restaurants • Gas stations and car repair service and parts business will only be built as part of a larger retail operation. When the original owners of the property sold to RPG a decade ago, they made clear that their decision was all about the sagging business for the outdoor theaters.

guilty to first-degree burglary. According to police, Suhr broke into the Denesha family apartment at Cobble Court Apartments in Pacific on June 1, 2012. Angry that Denesha’s older sister had recently broken up with him, Suhr stabbed the 13-year-old to death, stuffed his body into a closet and forced the older sister to write a note claiming responsibility for the death. Suhr then kidnapped the girl and took her to his house where he was later arrested.

‘Invincible spirit’ to help others Tyler May has a heart of gold and an unshakable determination to help his fellow athletes. An “invincible spirit,” is how U.S. Sen. Patty Murray described him. On center stage at The Seattle Westin Grand Ballroom in Seattle on Monday, the autistic, 17-year-old Auburn High School senior stepped confidently to the microphone to share that spirit with a large audience, which included special guest Dr. Jill Biden, the Second Lady of the United States. “This goes out to every single Special Olympian in the state of Washington. This is to you. Thanks,” May said, hoisting the Golden Tennis Shoe Award. May, known for his compassion and dedication to improve communities locally and throughout the state, humbly accepted the honor on behalf of 10,000 Special Olympic athletes and 6,000 volunteers from his state. Also receiving Golden Tennis Shoe Awards were: Dr. Saul Rivkin, founder and chairman of the board for the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research; and Deborah Parker, vice chairman of the Tulalip Tribe, who took an active and prominent role in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. May’s remarkable story has been chronicled in these pages. Growing up, May participated in sports and did well. But his hypersensitivity to noise, especially in crowd situations, led him to the peaceful links of golf, a Tyler May hugs Sen. Patty Murray game at after receiving the Golden Tennis which he Shoe Award for his contributions immeto the community. COURTESY PHOTO, diately Red Fish Blue Fish Photography excelled. Family, friends and teammates embraced him. Golf became his sanctuary. “Every time he comes out to the golf course, it’s therapy for him,” said his father, Tom. “His therapy never stops.”

County cares for the environment when considering a transfer station In the interest of full disclosure, I am a truck driver who works for the Solid Waste Division of King County. I am also a 25-year-plus resident of Auburn. As I read a letter from Ms. Cummings, imagining the horror of a transfer station in Auburn (“Auburn, more than you imagined?”, April 26, Auburn Reporter), I couldn’t help but wonder if she was aware of the amount of money King County has spent and is spending on wetlands and “natural” areas around the county. I wonder if she has ever taken a load of refuse to a transfer station. I wonder if she was aware of the already existing transfer station in Algona, which is basically in Auburn. I wonder if she has ever sat and counted those thousands of cars, pickups and semitrucks bringing their garbage to Auburn. I wonder if she has examined the road for damage. I wonder if she has visited the new, state-of-the-art transfer station at SeaTac. I wonder if Ms. Cummings knows that King County will actually cite itself if the Solid Waste Division does not comply with all the rules and regulations for running a landfill/ transfer station. I wonder if she understands

It’s the homeowner or contractor who uses the station. The issues and concerns she raises are valid ones. But I know that King County has a love of the environment like no other. And before the first stake is put into the ground, all of her concerns will have been addressed. Humans make garbage, the county is tasked with disposing of it. A not-in-my-backyard approach isn’t something we need.

– Ritchie Reynolds

Not the response I had in mind Regarding my letter to the editor, “What about those eyesores?” (March 29, Auburn Reporter):

Nancy Backus responded and said she would “enjoy a chance to talk to me about my concerns” and that she can “be reached via email or cell phone.” I contacted her by email, but perhaps she got so busy with more important matters, like her campaign for mayor of Auburn, that my response to her about my concerns had become a trivial, insignificant matter. Or perhaps her response was merely lip service. My concerns and questions, as I wrote to the Auburn Reporter, are those “eyesores” on A Street that traverse the railroad side of that street. They’ve been there for over a decade. Those eyesores are really disgusting, and I think it’s a reflection of the political leadership of this town and of the condition of the town itself. These concerns of mine also were pointed out by some of the people in my neighborhood at Lakeland Hills. My questions to Backus were: Is there some kind of code enforcement in Auburn for these eyesores that are on private properties? Are those dilapidated buildings and rusting structures legal to stay on private properties? Are they here on a permanent basis as part of the overall scenery of Auburn? I really wish to know the answers. I chose to ask Backus because of the many “good things” written about her, that she would be the perfect mayor [ more letters page 6 ]

[6] May 3, 2013 [ KLAAS from page 5 ] May has been involved with Special Olympics for two years, winning backto-back gold medals in golf. He is the first autistic athlete to receive an MVP award on any athletic team at Auburn High. A member of the Special Olympics Athlete Leadership Program, May speaks at community outreach and fundraising events on behalf of the organization. He recently took part in the Special Olympics Capitol

www.auburn-reporter.com Hill Day in Washington D.C., where he walked the halls of Congress and asked Washington State Congressional Representatives and Senators for their sponsorship of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act of 2013. May also joined Murray to promote a bill that would reauthorize the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act of 2004 and provide assistance to Best Buddies to support the expansion and T:4.8” development of mentoring

programs. Murray, one of the country’s leading Democratic senators, was impressed by the teen’s demeanor during their talks in D.C. “As a Special Olympian, Tyler believes that individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity to compete at the highest level of sport and be recognized for their efforts,” Murray said. “It is a belief he is willing to fight for.”

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] for the city of Auburn, so I thought she might be the right person to provide me and my Lakeland Hill neighbors with prompt and honest answers to our questions and concerns. But I turned out to be wrong with my assumptions. – Jesse Jose

Backus has skills to be our mayor It is important to know your candidates, and I have known Nancy Backus since high school. I have watched her for years volunteering and serving our community. Her willingness to give is priceless. She will be giving up a good career if elected, and I appreciate the sacrifice she will make in her personal life to give to her public life. We need a mayor with vision, integrity and the ability to be an independent thinker.

Nancy has always been able to see both sides of the story before making decisions. That is a necessary skill to be an effective leader. Nancy will be able to make Auburn the great place it can be. We all deserve a vibrant downtown, a thriving business community. Nancy will listen and get a better understanding on how to help the residents of Auburn solve important issues. Nancy already has the experience needed for the job serving on the City Council for years and has the financial skills working at The Boeing Co. needed to run the City. Auburn needs strong leadership, Auburn needs Nancy Backus. – Sharon Berend

Proud of our great orchestra The City of Auburn deserves to be proud of

many things, but we can really “pop our buttons” over the Auburn Symphony Orchestra. Stewart Kershaw, music director and conductor, has been the leader for the past 15 years and has inspired Auburn with music that would make New York envious if it ever heard the sounds coming from the Performing Arts Center. You don’t have to know a lot about the music because before each performance Stewart, in his charming way, informs the audience of what they’ll hear and why. And the musicians are brilliant. So citizens of Auburn, the next time you’re looking for something outstanding to experience, besides Mount Rainier, plan to treat your family to an exciting, thrilling evening with the Auburn symphony. Check them out now. – Florence Petheram

Pacific Police officers file suit against mayor BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

[ RECALL from page 1 ] recall last week, clearing the way for the committee to begin collecting signatures on April 26. “We got the word (April 25) that we could continue with our recall and get signatures and take it to the voters,” committee chairman Don Thomson said last Friday. “That was our sole goal from the beginning, to allow the voters to decide. Does he stay in office or leave office? And this is one more step in that direction. I want to thank our attorney, our volunteers and the citizens of Pacific who have stepped forward to say ‘we support you.’ I cannot say enough for them.” Over the weekend committee members canvassed Pacific, as well as collected signatures from a central location across the street from City Hall. According to committee attorney Jeff Helsdon,

a special election on the recall could happen as early as June. “The process is going to move much more quickly now,” Helsdon said. “When the signatures are turned in to King County Elections, the elections department will then canvass the signatures, matching them to the voter rolls and making sure we have the required number of signatures in order to verify the election can go forward. “I anticipate, based on our estimate, that we should have a special election on the recall of the mayor of Pacific sometime in the end of June, early July,” he said. If Pacific voters choose with a simple majority to oust Sun, he will have to vacate the office immediately. The City Council will select one of its members to serve as the next mayor.

presence of Lt. Massey.” The lawsuit also alleges that Sun had wrongfully accused members of the police department of corruption, bugging his phone, bribery and unlawfully tasing a Pacific resident. The lawsuit seeks damages for breach of contract, as well as emotional and professional distress, and asks that Sun be declared a “public/private nuisance and “prevent him from interfering with the city’s police department.” The suit also asks the court to mandate Sun uphold the Pacific Civil Service Commission’s order to return Calkins and Massey to duty. Calkins and Massey were placed on paid administrative leave on March 22. According to Sun, the decision was based on “an investigation into allegations of harassment and intimidation.” The suit, however, alleges

Also In addition to the many claims made by the Pacific Police Department officers against Sun, the court documents question the mayor’s identity. “Cy Sun’s citizenship and identity have been the subject of various inquiries as he reported to the former clerk that he assumed his name illegally. His true and correct identity and citizenship status to serve as Mayor of Pacific remains in question,” the suit states. DONATE TODAY: Auburn Food Bank, 930 18th Place NE.

Don Thomson, chairman for the Committee to Recall Cy Sun, was the first to sign the petition that will put a recall of the controversial Pacific mayor on the ballot. SHAWN SKAGer, Reporter

Five current and former members of the Pacific Police Department have filed a civil suit against the City and Mayor Cy Sun, seeking an order that would return suspended Chief John Calkins and Lt. Edwin Massey to duty as well as prohibit Sun from interfering in the City’s police department in the future. Calkins, Massey, Sgt. Michel Bos, Officer Josh Hong and former officer Jeremiah Schliesman filed the suit in King County Superior Court on April 21, alleging Sun had intimidated and defamed the officers and wrongfully placed Calkins and Massey on administrative leave. In court documents filed by attorney Joan Mell, the officers allege that Sun had repeatedly threatened, harassed and refused to support members of the department since taking office in January 2012. Among the claims stated in the suit are that Sun “threatened Lt. Massey stating he had ‘better watch out’ that he was in trouble. Mayor Sun also said: ‘I kill my enemies’ when he was briefing Sgt. Pickett in the

that Sun told Calkins that neither he nor Massey had done anything to provoke the suspensions, but were being put on leave because a citizen had a “dream about harming the officers” and that the citizen had applied for, and been denied, a concealed weapons permit. “In direct contravention to their safety, the Mayor required them to turn in their radios and weapons and all other equipment designed to keep them safe,” court documents stated. In a 911 call made to the King County Sheriff ’s Office prior to serving Massey and Calkins with leave papers, Sun asked for a deputy “to come down and escort me to deliver discharge papers to the police department. In other words, I’m going to fire the chief of police and a lieutenant.” The City’s Civil Service Commission – which also has filed a suit in King County Superior Court asking that Sun be forced to reinstate Calkins and Massey – ruled in favor of an appeal by the suspended officers on April 4. Despite the ruling, Sun has refused to reinstate the officers. Four of the five officers

involved in the suit – Massey, Bos, Schliesman and Hong – were previously fired by Sun in July after they arrested the mayor for trying to gain access to the locked city clerk’s office. The Civil Service Commission overturned the terminations. Schliesman has since left the Pacific Police Department. In addition to seeking orders demanding Sun reinstate Calkins and Massey and comply with civil service laws, the suit seeks damages for breach of contract, emotional and professional stress, as well as attorney’s fees and costs. Sun did not respond to an email requesting comment.

The spiritual dangers of irregular flossing

Doug Bursch

annual dental check-ups. My dentist and his dental hygienists were well aware of my unwillingness to heed their gum disease warnings. Consequently, every visit included some sort of verbal disciplinary action, frequently accompanied by graphic visuals of what my future mouth would look like if I continued with my floss-less life. I also wasn’t a big fan of the hygienist flossing my teeth. It just seemed humiliating, like having someone clean behind your ears or blow your nose. Actually, the whole process of regular dental checkups was less than empowering. The awkward guttural conversations; the gritty, pasty, tooth scrub, wax and buff; the saliva/ tongue sucker; the radiated x-ray snapshot; and the stop-time-in-its-place fluoride treatment. All of this leading up to a stern dental talk and the drumroll anticipation of discovered cavities. Of course, all this trauma was somewhat offset by the ability to pick a 10-cent toy from a faux treasure box. Maybe these less than ideal childhood memories are the reason I don’t regularly visit the dentist as an adult. It could also be my poor dental coverage. I think my plan only covers four out of five of my visible teeth when awkwardly

FAIRLY SPIRITUAL

If flossing were truly important, half of us would be dying of gum disease. We’d be daily opening the obituaries, lamenting the loss of another fine upstanding citizen who’d succumbed to the inevitable consequences of irregular flossing. However, for the most part, we’re all surviving the effects of our flossing truancy. I’m well aware that people exist who truly follow the recommended flossing regiment, but I assume they are too busy doing all the recommended things in life to continue reading. Speaking of recommendations, what happened to all those commercials with four out of five dentists recommending the latest oral hygiene product? It always bothered me that the dentists could never find consensus. No matter how great the product, there was always one cranky, lone wolf dentist unwilling to give it the thumbs-up. I wonder if that naysaying dentist annoyed the other four. I think I read somewhere that four out five dentists are slightly annoyed with one out of five dentists. To be honest, my early dental memories are tainted by a fair amount of shame. I was not a big fan of brushing teeth, and flossing was a twice-annual event that corresponded with the morning of my twice

smiling. There’s a free yearly tongue scraping, but I always forget to bring the coupon. As a pastor, I sometimes think my admonitions for individuals to get involved in a local church come across in the same vein as suggested flossing. Even if one thinks it’s probably a good idea, it still seems like more of an awkward chore or a frustrating imposi-

tion. If I warn people of the dangers of churchless living, I begin to feel as if I’m threatening gum disease. To make matters worse, some individuals don’t have very positive memories when it comes to early childhood church visits. Others have been less enamored with their twice yearly, Christmas and Easter checkups. Sadly, for many people, church is a

theoretically good idea that they just can’t seem to put into practice. What do I say about this dilemma? Well, to be honest, I just want you to know that you are welcome to visit. But you are loved whether or not you visit. If we’ve made you feel uncomfortable in the past, I sincerely apologize. If you need a place to grow in the knowledge of why you exist, then I’ve got some great recommendations. In fact, I’m pretty sure four out five dentists would

find at least one of my recommendations worth pursuing. As far as that fifth dentist … well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. “Live from Seattle with Doug Bursch” can be heard 4-6 p.m. weekdays on KGNW 820 AM.

Auburn leaders plant a tree to celebrate Arbor Day Auburn recently celebrated Arbor Day by planting a Japanese Larch tree at Game Farm Park. The Auburn Garden Club donated the tree. City leaders, along with volunteers from the Auburn Garden Club, Auburn Tree Board, Auburn Park Board, representatives from the state Department of Natural Resources and the Washington Community For-

www.auburn-reporter.com estry Council participated in the commemoration. The National Arbor Day Foundation recognizes Auburn as a Tree City USA. Those communities are recognized for effectively managing the urban forest and meet four standards: 1, establish a tree governing body; 2, maintain a comprehensive community forestry program that spends at least $2 per capita on the urban forest; 3, maintain a tree care ordinance; and 4, hold an annual celebration related to Arbor Day. Mayor Pete Lewis proclaimed April 24 as Arbor Day in the city.

As part of Auburn’s Tree City USA designation, the City of Auburn Planning Department manages community grants that encourage citizens to apply for tree plantings in residential and commercial neighborhoods. In exchange for financial assistance, groups must commit to plant, water and maintain the trees. For additional information about the tree grants, call the City of Auburn Planning Department at 253-931-3090. For more information about Arbor Day or planting trees, call 253-931-3043.

Volunteers honored for their work By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

They are the folks who provide the hot coffee and donuts for bystanders at the Auburn Veterans Day Parade, who turn the flapjacks and pick up dishes at community breakfasts. They are the men and women who cook up dinners for the homeless at Thanksgiving and Christmas, who help with the celebrations at Les Gove Park on July Fourth and make the Daddy Daughter Date Nights run smoothly. The people who volunteer their time just because they love doing it and because they get a kick out of doing good things for others. As Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis likes to say, if the City had to pay people to do all the things its volunteers do, considering all the uncompensated hours they put in, it simply couldn’t afford the expense. Last Friday, however, Auburn not only honored its volunteers with a lunch at the Auburn Senior Activity Center, it also brought in radio and television gardening personality Ciscoe Morris to keep ’em laughing. Among the many volunteers was Barbara Saelid,

a retired school teacher, a former supervisor for Federal Way-based World Vision and, for about 14 years, a volunteer with the senior center’s Wellness Team. “Oh, I love it,” said Saelid, catching a bite to eat between duties. “I just like to volunteer. Since I’ve retired I’ve made it my occupation to volunteer, and I volunteer at a number of places.” Lloyd Atkinson, also a member of the team that did all the shopping, preparation, serving and clean up for last week’s luncheon, explained what he gets out of it and why

he’ll keep doing it for as long as he can. “You get caught up in volunteering with the people and the camaraderie, and things like that,” Atkinson said. “It’s good for the soul, and you feel good about doing it.” “Basically I like meeting people and making things happen,” Ray Botti said. “I like to think I make a difference in their lives.” But it’s not all glamorous, said the retired mechanical designer, a member of the Wellness Team for almost 15 years. “Clean up is the worst part,” Botti said with a chuckle.

The Lions were paced by senior distance runner Chris Scharer, who has been perfect this year, finishing first in all of his SPSL 3A races in the 400-, 800-, 1,600- and 3,200-meter races this season. Scharer posted a 2-minute, 9.20-second mark in the 800 against Peninsula. His best time in the event this season

To date no one has whipped Auburn junior Lauren Thornquist on the court during the regular season. For the past three years Thornquist, the No. 1 singles player on the Trojan girls tennis team, has chewed up and spit out the competition in the South Puget Sound League Central 4A. And by putting away Todd Beamer’s Lindsey Tyson 6-0, 6-1 on Tuesday, Thornquist finished another regular season 9-0. “It feels good, but I still have to worry about subdistricts and districts and getting to state,” Thornquist said. “It’s nice to see all my lessons and tournaments and practice pay off.” Up next, the postseason and the road to the Washington State 4A Girls Tennis Tournament. Thornquist knows that particular road well. As a freshman and sophomore, she qualified for the state tourney, finishing 1-2 and 0-2, respectively. This year, however, Thornquist is poised for her best finish yet, said Auburn coach Crystal Wisness. “Her serve is way better,” Wis-

Lauren Thornquist swings into the postseason fueled by her third undefeated SPSL Central 4A regular season at No. 1 singles. Shawn Skager, Auburn Reporter ness said. “She’s got more variety and more power. She’ll just zip it right by you. She’s just stronger, more confident. As a junior she’s just found her groove. She doesn’t get shaken, she’s never really gotten shaken. She knows what to do now.” Thornquist agrees. She credits her sharper game to

her offseason training under head pro Allan Overland at Kent’s Boeing Employees’ Tennis Club “It’s helped me a lot mentally, strategic wise, and also with shot play and placement,” Thornquist said. “Especially when I transitioned from my sophomore [ more tennis page 13 ]

The Ravens overcame a one goal deficit to post the win with a 2-1 score. Mattias Guildman and Fidel Cabanas each had goals for Auburn Riverside, with Brandon Gonzales notching an assist.

[ Tennis from page 12 ] year to my junior year now. I feel like this year, skills-wise, I’m about the same. But I’m starting to think more strategically than I did last year, and I think that’s helping me more this year.” Wisness said that despite the grueling competition, she expects Thornquist to better her past finishes at the state meet. “The competition at state is tough,” Wisness

said. “It’s the top 16 girls in the entire state. I expect her to do better this year. She played a lot over the summer in tournaments. I think she’ll definitely fare better this year.” Thornquist said she thinks her tougher mental game will make the difference. “When you get up there you run into a lot of players who play year round,” Thornquist said. “At state I think I really need to think about where I’m placing

my shot. I need to work a little more on my skills, improving how I hit the ball and getting a lot of top spin on it.” Auburn heads into the South Puget Sound League Subdistrict tourney this weekend.

is a 1:58 ran against Enumclaw, good for ninth in the state 3A ranks. Also keying the team’s success is senior thrower Nicholas Aumua, who has the third best discus distance in the state 3A ranks, with a 159-feet, 7-inch toss. Aumua finished third at the state meet this past season with a 153-1.00. Senior Devin Bryant is currently tied for seventh in the 3A state leader boards in the long jump with a 21-5.25. The Lions travelled to Decatur on Wednesday to take on the Gators, with results unavailable at press time. A win secures sole possession of first-place in league for

Auburn Mountainview. Also on track for a strong finish are the Lion girls team, who battled Decatur on Wednesday for secondplace in the SPSL 3A. Results were unavailable at press time. The Auburn Mountainview girls are led by junior Nicole Carter, who has the fifth best 100 time in the state in 3A with a 12.54. Sophomore Heaven Palaita is 10th in state 3A ranks in the discus with a 112-4.00 toss, and junior Rachel Greve is sixth in the javelin with a 118-7.00. Both the Auburn Mountainview boys and girls will compete at the SPSL/Seamount 3A subdistrict meet May 9 and 11 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.

South Puget Sound League 3A tournament at Auburn Mountainview. Leading the pack for the Lions, who finished the season in third-place in the SPSL 3A with a 6-3 record, is No. 1 singles Alina Bolshakova. Bolshakova, a senior, has earned a 1-3 record in No. 1 singles, and is 3-1 at No. 1 doubles. Also competing this weekend, Auburn Mountainview’s Celeste

Andriotti, who was 6-0 in singles, 3-0 in doubles this season. She teams up with Mariah McHenry in the tourney... Auburn Riverside finished the regular season with a 4-6 record in the SPSL Central 4A. The Ravens look to the No. 1 doubles team of Brenna Bruil and Carson Heilborn – 4-3 in league play – to move out of the league tourney and into districts.

We’re gonna have linguini puta di mare, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, and steak dishes like bistecca alla Fiorentina. And all of our sauces, Napolitano sauce, ragu sauce, will be made from scratch every two days,” said Ernesto. Just the briefest suggestion of what patrons can expect at Don Giovanni’s Ristorante and Wine Bar when it opens this month at the site formerly occupied by Ristorante Auguri at 18 Auburn Way S. “We hope to be open by Mother’s Day (May 12),” Ernesto said. Ernesto said his mother, Michelina, will help make the sauce, prep in the morning, make the tiramisu and the lasagna, just like mother taught her to do. “We’re also going to have a chef here with 14 years experience in Italian cooking helping us with that,” Ernesto said. The restaurant, offering enough seating for 100 diners, Ernesto said, will be furnished with dark walnut chairs sporting leather seats and backs, square tables in the restaurant and round tables in the wine bar. Ernesto said he will add live music later, after he’s had time to size up how the restaurant does. “It’s going to look like old Tuscan villas, all that color, the Tuscany colors. We’ll have arches in front, all travertine flooring with tuscany tile, that’s the look we’re going for,” said Ernesto. As of last week, all that remained to be done was to paint the walls and finish the floors. “We want to make sure we open the right way, that everybody is pleased, that everybody who comes in is impressed with the restaurant,” Ernesto said. Ernesto’s parents, Giovanni and Michelina, come from Caserta, a small town 20 miles from the city of Naples. Caserta, he said, enjoys a fine reputation for its excellent cheese. Ernesto got his first restaurant experience working alongside his cousins at his uncle’s establishment in New York City. “My father in childhood worked in hotels in the kitchen. Mostly what I did was sell wine. But I have a little bit of experience from working a little bit at my uncle’s,” Ernesto said. Ernesto explained why his family chose to open its second restaurant, in Auburn. “Auburn was our choice because, number one, we have friend of ours named Al Rossi here, a good family friend of ours, and he told us, ‘Hey, you guys, you wannna open up another one?’ Cause we already have a restaurant in Issaquah called Moltacino, which my brother runs. Al suggested we open a restaurant here because people weren’t too happy with Auguri’s, and Auguri gave us an option to buy, and we bought it from him,” Ernesto said.
