Lewis to run for Port of Seattle commissioner By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Pete Lewis made it clear in 2012 that he would not seek a fourth term as Auburn’s mayor.

But don’t expect the energetic Lewis to settle into the rocking chair. Sometime this week, during the official filing period for public office in Washington state, Lewis will have
dropped his name in the hopper for Port of Seattle commissioner, Position 1. “This is a very important position because it’s also a taxing district that encompasses all of King County,” Lewis

King County sets recall election for Pacific mayor
Plaza owner wants to buy space for health care organization In 2010, the City of Auburn bought space within the One Main Professional Plaza from Jeff Oliphant, its owner and builder. Now Oliphant, principal of Auburn Professional Plaza LLC, wants to buy back some of that space in the building just east of City Hall. Specifically, he wants to back Unit 380 on the building’s third floor. As Oliphant explained to City officials Monday, a health care organization wants to lease the entire south wing of the third floor overlooking East Main Street, including Unit 380.

Voters in the City of Pacific will be allowed to vote in a recall election for mayor on June 25. “King County Elections (on May 9) verified more than 415 signatures, the minimum number of petition signatures required for the recall election of Cy Sun, mayor of Pacific,” Cy Sun said Sherril Huff, director of King County Elections. The 415 signatures required for the recall election represent 35 percent of the total votes cast for the candidates in the mayoral race in the November 2011 election. Residents
submitted the petitions with 590 signatures to the elections department in late April. King County delivered a letter May 9 to Sun and to the sponsor of the recall petition, Don Thomson, chairman of the Committee to Recall Cy Sun, stating that the requirements to hold a recall election have been met, notifying them of the election date and affirming the synopsis of the ballot. “I couldn’t sit in my chair (when I got the letter), I was so excited,” Thomson said. “I can’t express my gratitude for the people who worked on this and the people who donated money.”

Between 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday, the American Cancer Society’s Auburn Relay for Life fundraiser returns to Auburn Memorial Stadium, inviting teams of people to camp out on the field and to take
Three file for mayoral race There is no shortage of candidates lining up to be Auburn’s next mayor when Pete Lewis finishes his third and final term. Or candidates vying to take their places on the Auburn City Council. All their names will be known by the end of filing week, May 13-17. As of now, mayor pro tem Nancy Backus, her fellow councilmember John Partridge, and Iraq war veteran Scot Pondelick compose the field of mayoral hopefuls. Because more than two candidates are vying for the mayor’s position, there will be an Aug. 6 primary to pare the field to two. Filing for City Council are Claude DaCorsi, who is seeking Position 2, Partridge’s present seat, and Yolanda Trout, Position 4, who will run for the seat now held by Backus. Incumbent Rich Wagner is seeking reelection to Position 6. – Robert Whale perilous implications posed by the reopening of the Panama Canal sometime around January 2015. Ports from B.C.’s Prince Rupert to the Port of Los Angeles, to the Port of Miami and the Port of Maryland are undergoing billion dollar

Registration is going strong. The opening ceremony begins at 6 p.m. Friday with
the posting of the colors followed by the singing of the national anthem and the survivors and caregivers’ laps. The official relay begins at 7 p.m., followed by a moving luminaria ceremony at 10. Organizers don’t require that a specified amount of money be raised to take part in Relay For Life. The American Cancer Society’s recommendation is that each participant sets a personal goal to raise $100.
it will lose out, with terrible economic consequences, Lewis said. “The only thing that counts is the number of days it takes to get the goods from your port to the City of Chicago. One of the biggest problems facing our port is a lack of infrastructure improvements. Trucks can’t get down to the valley where they do their original container loads,” Lewis said. That tale, Lewis said, needs to be told, and he intends to tell it everywhere he goes.

Lewis said he doesn’t have to work but is sure he can really accomplish something as a port commissioner. “My wife said if I were to take on a part-time job, I would not work any more than 40 hours a week, and she would be happy,” Lewis said. “She wants me to do something, but she doesn’t want me to take on another full-time job because I get too engrossed.” The primary is Aug. 6, the general election is Nov. 5.

It’s all the connections that I have with all the cities.” According to the Public Disclosure Commission’s website, Lewis’ rivals will be incumbent John Creighton III and Andrew Pilloud. If he is to be successful, Lewis conceded, he will have to do a bit of catching up in money raising. Where Creighton’s campaign war chest is already at $73,980, Lewis as of Wednesday had no money in the campaign kitty. What really decided Lewis on running, he said, was the situation the Puget Sound region will find itself in if it fails to respond to the
ture system around the Port of Savannah,” Lewis said. “The State of Florida is putting a billion dollars into the Port of Miami. Ports in New York, Michigan, Maryland are all doing the same thing. “They’re going after our contracts, our businesses and our jobs, and here in the United States what counts is how fast goods can be delivered to Chicago, which is the clearing house for the entire United States.” The state needs to fix the crumbling roads that impede passage of goods, or

Multiple media sources last week reported Issaquah High School students once again hosting May Madness, an online tournament where male students vote for the sexiest female student. As a former high school student in that district, initially I wanted to post something sarcastic about our rival school. But as I continued to think about the issue, one alarming thing kept moving to the forefront of my mind: where was the indignant uproar from the female students demanding respect from their male counterparts? Where were the protest signs saying, “I am more than my looks”? Ladies, where was your self-respect? Maybe if they had known what this kind of behavior could lead to they would have spoken up. Maybe if they had peeled back the layers and analyzed the situation, these ladies would have seen how inherently wrong this competition is and say something. Maybe if someone had explained how dangerous things like this can get, they would have rallied or written a petition. Something. Anything. But they said nothing – not an angry word spoken in protest. Well, let me tell you exactly what silence means in our society. A 16-year-old girl was at a party in Steubenville, Ohio. She got drunk. She blacked out. She was sexually assaulted. A clear case of rape, right? Wrong. The defense attorney for one of the defendants argued that because “she didn’t affirmatively say no,” this young lady consented to having sexual relations with the young men on trial. Growing up, I was taught that yes means yes, and no means no. No does not mean yes or keep going – silence does not mean maybe or yes either. So when did the [ more CONERLY page 7 ]

it from talking to voters, and we know it from polling. We also know it because last November, voters overwhelmingly approved Initiative 1185, which required a two-thirds majority vote for the Legislature to raise taxes. There are 49 legislative districts in this state. Out of those 49 districts, only five – all located in the heart of Seattle – did not vote for I-1185.
I support Nancy Backus for mayor of Auburn. Nancy has the best intentions for Auburn’s future. She is also the most qualified candidate. She also has a very comprehensive financial accounting background with Boeing which will help move the city in the right direction. [ more letters page 6 ]
The people clearly want a smaller, leaner government. The State Supreme Court later invalidated the will of the people, saying a two-thirds requirement is unconstitutional, but the mandate of tax restraint remains. In recent years, voters approved several other initiatives just like I-1185 only to have the Legislature invalidate them. And, in 2011, voters also struck down a state incometax proposal and a candy-soda tax that had been already been [ more ROACH page 6 ]

I have known Nancy for many years and I know that she will go above and beyond to make sure that Auburn is the best that it can be. Nancy is an Auburn High School graduate, has lived in Auburn most of her life and knows exactly what Auburn needs to be a highly successful city.

With her husband at her side, she has helped kick doors down for women and families who, for whatever reason, are trapped by poverty, fear, lack of education or just a bad choice or two. Thank you for the Rosies in Auburn who are willing to help others.

[ ROACH from page 5] approved by a politically tone-deaf Legislature. Could the voters have been more clear? Those of us in the Senate Majority Caucus (23 Republicans and two Democrats), are listening to the voters. We approved, with bipartisan support, a budget that is balanced and that does not increase taxes. We’ve been very straightforward with the people of our state. The SMC did the job the people wanted. We balanced a budget, funded education, and pushed reforms aimed at reducing costs. We could have avoided a costly, redundant, special session if the governor and the House majority not been insisting on a budget with $1.2 billion worth of tax hikes. Our Senate budget fits Washington’s needs well. The budget: • Includes no new taxes • Increases education funding by more than 10 percent • Holds down the growth of the rest of state spending by less than inflation • Preserves the rainy day fund • Enacts substantial policy reforms. Now that the special legislative session has begun, we Republicans are standing our ground and holding the line on a budget that lives within its means. We hope the governor and the House majority will stop insisting on new taxes and start negotiating in earnest with the Senate so we can have a budget that reflects the will of the people who put us in office. Sen. Pam Roach (R-rural Auburn) represents the 31st Legislative District and is chair of the Senate Governmental Operations Committee.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ oliphant from page 1 ] 2010 from Oliphant for $1,055,734, the agreement included a right for him to buy it back for $1,074,949. In addition to paying $20,000 above the City’s purchase price, Oliphant said, “probably double what theassessed value of space next to it is” and after making necessary improvements, “we’re probably paying triple for all that stuff.” But Oliphant said he is committed to the city and to bringing the health care organization downtown. By so doing, Oliphant said, he will keep it from moving elsewhere within the city or leaving Auburn altogether. “From a dollar standpoint on the portion we are buying from the City, we are losing money, but on the overall picture we are making money,” Oliphant said. Everything hinges upon the working out of a successful lease agreement. If that doesn’t happen, no sale.
It should be noted that the City doesn’t have an actual condominium in the building, Under the state’s condominium regulations, a buyer purchases space in a building, not a part of the actual building. The City’s planning, legal and finance departments have worked with Oliphant on the proposed purchase and sale agreement. Auburn Planning Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain said if the deal is successful, the City would have to move its employee breakroom and its GIS offices. Amendments will be needed to the condominium declarations to reallocate the third floor terrace, which is the limited common element to Unit 300, where the City has its Emergency Planning office. The City intends to keep the terrace. The agreement also calls for new arrangements respecting the allotments of the parking spaces at the site of the former Mel’s Lumber Yard.
[ dairy from page 1 ] “Our plans are to farm the property and use the facilities for storage,” said Mike Carpinito, owner of the popular produce market along Central Avenue in Kent and part of a 50-year family business. “We farm on three sides of it (Smith Brothers) already. We’ll grow vegetables, pumpkins, corn and cabbage - the handharvested vegetables. We’ll eventually farm all of it in time.” The dairy cows left the farm in 2001 for a Smith Brothers-owned farm in Royal City near Moses Lake. But in 2006 the Federal government changed milk producer/ handler regulations, so the company sold the Royal City farm and cows and now gets milk from select co-op Washington state dairy farms. The new headquarters doesn’t sit on a farm. But the building features 25-
foot high ceilings compared to about 10 feet at the current site. And everything sits under one roof, rather than being spread out on the farm. “We’ll have the capacity for at least twice as much milk for storage,” Highland said. Smith Brothers continues to deliver milk and other products to 40,000 homes as well as numerous school districts, coffee stands, restaurants and a few small grocery stores. “We’re moving to a new facility to help better fit our needs and to provide a sustainable future for the company, our employees, our customers and the communities we serve,” Highland said. “We can assure all of our current and potential customers that the move will not affect the wide range and high quality of services Smith Brothers Farms has come to be known for during
the last 93 years of being in business.” The company has 50 vehicles that deliver from farm to home within 48 hours. Smith Brothers delivers from Olympia north to Marysville, and from Bremerton east to North Bend. “Business is going great,” Highland said. “We’re signing up a lot of new customers.” Benjamin Smith started the milk company in 1920 at its current location with one cow and a few customers. He named the company after his two sons, Dan and Howard. Benjamin Smith also had five daughters. Highland is part of the fourth generation of the Smith family involved in the business. His mother is one of Dan Smith’s four
daughters. “My middle name is Smith,” Highland said. The landmark cow that stood for years at the south end of the property disappeared for a while last year before being found up near Kentlake High School. Highland said the cow often became the target for high school pranks. He said the cow will be put up at the new site, but it might be inside the building rather than outside. As far as the new property owners, when the Smith family decided to seek a new location, they asked Mike Carpinito if he wanted the land. The two families have been friends for years. The Carpinito’s even lease some of the Smith property to grow their crops.
Waxing Poetic by

Auburn’s Official Poet Laureate
[ CONERLY from page 5 ] definitions change? Probably about the same time that young people stopped voicing their opinions on important societal issues. In the case of the 23-year-old woman in India who was sexually assaulted with a metal rod and brutally gang raped to death late last year, she didn’t even have the choice to say yes or no. She was silenced and
stripped of her right to say no. Are we to interpret her silence as consent as well? So maybe you can see now why it doesn’t make sense to me that these young ladies in Issaquah would take that right away from themselves – why they wouldn’t choose to use their voices and make a statement. In the courtroom, they are arguing for your silence to be taken as a yes,
consenting and condoning all behavior done to you. So why, when there are so many platforms nowadays from which to raise your voices against sexism and exploitation, why would you choose silence, consenting to young men judging you based on looks and condoning all behavior done to you? Not only do we need to teach our young men that silence does not mean yes, we should simultaneously
stress the importance of speaking up against issues like this to our young female generation. Because the only way to combat silence is with noise – lots of noise – enough noise to make changes to our disappointing society.

KOMEN PUGET SOUND
T
wenty years ago, gas was at $1.00 a gallon, a movie titled “Sleepless in Seattle” just premiered and a young mother named CJ Taylor-Day brought together a small group of friends and volunteers to establish the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Losing her mother to breast cancer at age 17, CJ was passionately committed to ensuring “no child should ever grow up without a mother because of breast cancer.” Since that beginning, Komen Puget Sound has grown to rank fifth out of 120 Komen affiliates nationally. As a result of this growth, the affiliate has been able to invest over $7 million into
medical research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. But the majority of the affiliate’s grants, over $19 million, have been invested right here in our community to fund breast health education, screening and treatment support. Komen Puget Sound continues to be the largest private provider of free mammogram support to low income and uninsured women. The Komen Patient Assistance Fund has provided thousands of breast cancer patients in our community with financial support for life’s basic needs, allowing them to continue their lifesaving treatments. Women like Kate B. from
Renton, Washington said: “I have been incredibly anxious because my treatments for breast cancer have meant missing work. I was SO thankful for the money I received from the patient assistance fund because it allowed us to catch up with my mortgage payments. Without the Komen fund, we would have faced the stress of possible foreclosure. I want to say thank you very much for your help.” The fight against breast cancer has come a long way in the last 20 years. Komen Puget Sound will continue this fight until Komen’s promise of a world without breast cancer becomes a reality.

s volunteers Tath Hossfeld and Jan Slawson wrapped up preparations for the very first Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1994, the only thing left to wonder was “will it rain”? “It was very nerve wracking because it rained the day before and throughout the night,” says Jan. “It was a new race, and I didn’t know how committed people would be.” Tath agrees: “I was so worried that rain would keep people away from our Race. But boy, was I wrong!” More than 3,000 women showed up in pouring rain for the first Race, more women that ever ran in a Seattle Race before. “Seeing all those people united together around breast cancer, this huge sea of pink, was so powerful! It made me cry,” says Tath. Jan was not only at the first Race for the Cure, but she also was responsible for organizing the whole race, as the Race Chair. “I attended my
first Komen Puget Sound meeting, and they asked who would like to chair the first Race for the Cure. I just raised my hand,” says Jan. “I was a runner back then, and I was really drawn to the idea of a race to benefit an important cause like breast cancer.”

“There is an atmosphere of joy and hope at the Race that is infectious,” says Jan. “When you are there, you find yourself among a happy community. The Seattle Center is this beautiful Tath chaired the first breast cancer Survivor’s park-like setting where you can feel you are Celebration at the Race. “It was so powerful away from everything. There is entertainment, to see so many breast cancer survivors in one room, nothing like that had ever been organized food, and sponsors giving things to everyone. People are smiling and walking around with in Seattle,” says Tath. “We were one large support group for each other. During the lunch, filled goodie bags. It is just a great day of fun! I’ve always enjoyed myself.” we asked every survivor to stand up. Then we asked first year survivors to sit back down. Then “One day, we will find a cure for breast cancer,” five year survivors were asked to sit down, then says Tath. “When that day comes, the very next 10 year survivors, and so on until there was thing a woman will hear after a breast cancer just one woman standing. When we asked her diagnosis is: ‘It’s OK, we now have a cure.’ I how long she has been a survivor, she told us 35 really do believe this is possible, because I have years. The whole room went crazy with applause seen how far we have come in the last 20 years.”

IT’S OKAY TO TALK ABOUT
CANCER
By Linda Ball Reporter newspapers
My favorite movie of all time is still the 1983 Best Picture winner, “Terms of Endearment,” starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger, Jeff Daniels, Danny DeVito and John Lithgow. The story centers on MacLaine’s character, Aurora Greenway, a widow, and her relationship with her daughter, Emma, played by Winger. Nicholson’s character, Garrett Breedlove, is a retired astronaut, a hardpartying lady’s man who eventually wins Aurora’s heart and vice-versa, in a very funny courtship. But it is Emma who steals our hearts, as she deals with her cheating husband, Flap (Daniels), and then discovers a lump in her armpit. For our Emma, who has three small children, it’s been caught too late. Other than this development, the movie really is a comedy. In one scene Emma is at lunch with her best friend, Patsy, and some of Patsy’s highbrow New York lady friends. These women all know that Emma has cancer, but they never say the word. Instead they skirt around the issue and make comments like how lucky her kids are to have such a wonderful mommy. After the lunch Emma is upset. When Patsy confronts her, she asks Emma, what do you want me to say or do? Emma says, “Tell them it’s all right. Tell them it ain’t so tragic. People DO get better! Tell them it’s okay to talk about the CANCER!” The next scene in the movie is hilarious, as a woman at a party comes up to Emma and says, “Patsy tells me you have cancer!” Patsy, standing nearby, hacks up an hors d’oeuvres when she hears this. Who knew that 28 years later I would get the diagnosis of breast cancer. Only, unlike Emma, I survived. Now that movie line has even more meaning to me. I find that some people are uncomfortable if I bring it up. Don’t be. It happens. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about one in eight. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about one in 36.
SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL TO SCREEN ‘DECODING ANNIE PARKER’ The Seattle International Film Festival will feature the true story of University of Washington geneticist Mary-Claire King and her world-changing discovery of the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. The special benefit screening will support the fight against breast cancer, and will be shown June 6 at 7 p.m. and June 8 at 1:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre in Seattle.
I have found that it has become a big part of who I am now. It’s not something to be ashamed of. At first I blamed myself – what did I do to bring this on? What didn’t I do that I should have? There is no good answer, other than that cancer has its own agenda. I’ve always exercised, and for the most part maintained a healthy diet, so I couldn’t understand why me?
Linda Ball
On June 2, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, a 5K run/walk to raise money for breast cancer research.
Seventy-five percent of the money raised as a result of the race and fundraising associated with it, will stay in Puget Sound to fund screenings, education, and treatment support. The remaining 25 percent will fund global research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. It’s the least I can do, because I would very much like to see an end to this disease that robs so many women of years of their life while in treatment, or their entire life. It really sucks. But please know that talking about cancer to a survivor or even someone going through treatment is often what they need. Even though you can’t understand unless you’ve been through it yourself, lend a compassionate ear. Because it’s really okay to talk about the CANCER!

The film stars Helen Hunt and Samantha Morton and follows a 15-year war against this cruel illness, waged on both scientific and emotional fronts by a pair of women demonstrating extreme bravery under pressure. Annie Parker (Morton) has watched both her mother and sister succumb to breast cancer. When she herself is diagnosed, she struggles to hold her family together, displaying a force of spirit that belies the odds. Meanwhile, geneticist Mary-Claire King (Hunt) is researching the idea of an undiscovered link between DNA and cancer, a process that finds her scrambling for both funding and the support of her disbelieving colleagues. How the paths of these two women intersect is funny, irreverent and heartwarming without the burn. Director Steven Bernstein’s feature debut deftly balances the seriousness of the situation with the all-too-human response, finding unpredictable grace notes of beauty and wit during even the darkest of times. Bernstein will be at the Egyptian to talk about the film. In addition to Hunt and Morton, the supporting cast includes Aaron Paul, Rashida Jones, Bradley Whitford, and Maggie Grace. Bernstein’s film pays ample tribute to one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century as well as the people forever changed in its wake. Tickets are $25.

The goal of the Sista’s team is to promote Race participation by African American women and families and to increase awareness of the high breast cancer mortality rate among African American women. “We need to find cures for cancer because no one should have to suffer the loss of a mom, or a sister or daughter,” says Michelle. “This is why I have chosen to join the Sista’s Race for the Cure team and support Komen Puget Sound’s Race for the Cure.” The Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure will provide an opportunity to celebrate survivors and remember those who have lost their battle to breast cancer. This service will occur on June 2, from 7:30-8:15 a.m. in the Seattle Center Pavilion. To learn more about the Race for the Cure, go to komenpugetsound.org.

Resilient Simpson vows to ‘kick cancer’s butt’ By Michelle Conerly mconerly@kentreporter.com
D
onna Simpson sits at her computer, logs onto Facebook and starts to write a very stern, very powerful letter for all to read. “Dear Cancer,” she writes, “The chemotherapy I started on Monday may be kicking my butt and making me really sick, but I have the doctors to help me. You have no one. The worse I feel physically, the better I feel mentally knowing that you are being attacked and have nowhere to hide. You will die, and I will be just fine. It’s only a matter of time. Donna.” Simpson’s doctor diagnosed her with breast cancer the day before Thanksgiving of last year. But save her lack of hair, no one would know she was fighting the battle of her life. It’s been a hard journey. When staff at her doctor’s office first learned about the lump, they scheduled the wrong type of mammogram. Add to that the chemo medicine that makes her so sick she could retreat to her bed for days, the multiple surger-
ies and a port in her chest that keeps flipping out of place, there’s no doubt few would be strong enough to handle it. But as far as Simpson’s concerned, all those mountains are just “speed bumps” on her road to healing. Simpson credits the overwhelming support of friends and family for her positive attitude. “I have a huge support system,” she said. “I don’t know how somebody does it without (that). I’ve never gone to a treatment alone. Our family is really close, so if one of us is going through something, we’re all there.” Simpson’s children - even the honorary ones - have been at her side from the start. Daughters Noelle and Jamie were the first to learn of her diagnosis. And when the time came to choose the right type of surgery, both girls were at her side. But with limited knowledge, neither Simpson nor her daughters knew which option to choose. That’s when Jessica Allen, dear-friend-turned-family member, stepped up.
“ (The doctors) put in my medical records that my daughter, Jessica, came in to ask questions. That’s where we say ‘it’s official, she’s a Simpson.’” Seeing how positive Simpson is, even on her worst days, Allen is not only grateful to be a part of her journey to getting better but has also learned a lot about herself and life. “It’s really humbled me,” Allen said. “She’s Donna Simpson just got such a great presence and attitude. (Her) story and (her) Allen, a physician liaison motivation stick out so at Rainier Cancer Center, strong to me, it’s incredible.” met the Simpson family at a Simpson has inspired the Relay for Life walk months people around her with the before the diagnosis.

needed it in our family, we hope somebody would relay for us.” Simpson likes to tell people that cancer picked the wrong person to mess with. Allen has a slightly different take. “In my opinion, I think it picked the right person,” Allen said, “because (she’s) the person that’s going to fight back. (She’s) the person that’s going to follow directions to the tee. (She’s) the person that’s not going to give up when you have a hard day. It’s just going to motivate her, more and more.” Simpson has one more round of chemo before her radiation treatment begins at Rainier Cancer Center in Tukwila. With the help of Allen and the staff there and with her family at her side, Simpson is ready to “kick cancer’s butt” and pick up on life right where she left off. “Cancer needs to know that its days are numbered,” Simpson said. “I’m 46, and I haven’t even begun to live.”

Raven girls water polo punches ticket to state
The Auburn Riverside girls water polo team advanced to the state tournament with a 3-1 performance at the Wildcard Tournament last weekend at Lakes High School. The Ravens opened with a 10-7 overtime win over Peninsula last Friday. They defeated Bellevue 9-6 in the second round last Saturday before stumbling to Puyallup, 6-2. In a loser-out game last Saturday, the Ravens earned their trip to state, beating Emerald Ridge 6-5. Auburn Riverside began state play Wednesday night, with results unavailable at press time.
Lions snag district title, move on to state Trojan, Raven
track prepares for 4A district meet
By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Junior Joey Cassano’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the eighth inning powered secondranked Auburn Mountainview to an 8-9 win over Peninsula on Saturday, earning the Lions the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 title and a No. 1 seed into the state 3A tournament. The district title is the first ever for the Auburn Mountainview baseball program, and Coach Glen Walker said it gives the team a crucial boost heading into the state tourney. “I’m very confident that they think we can win,” Walker said. “They have the swagger and confidence. Winning the district tourney and giving us the first championship we’ve ever had helps that. The best thing about this team is they know, no matter where we are, we have a chance to win every game.” After falling into an 8-0 hole by the top of the third inning, the Lions (22-3) narrowed the gap, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the third. In the seventh, Auburn Mountainview senior Josh Minton smashed a pinch-hit double to right center, sending in the tying run to push the game into extra innings, setting the stage for Cassano’s game-winning home run. Senior Nick Brooks finished 2-of-3 from the plate with a home

Auburn Mountainview track teams head to 3A bi-district meet in Shelton By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
The Auburn Mountainview boys and girls track and field teams will compete at this weekend’s West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A meet at HighClimber Stadium in Shelton. “Overall we had a decent sub-district meet,” Lions coach Joel MacDougall said. The girls finished third in the team competition with 107.5 points at the South Puget Sound League/Seamount/Olympic 3A subdistrict meet last weekend in Sumner. “Senior Abi Alfrey had a very nice sub-district meet,” MacDougall said. “She won the triple jump and set a school record in the process, and then came back to place fourth in a really good long jump field.” Alfrey took home the triple jump title with a 34-foot, 8 1/2-inch mark and was fourth in the long jump with a leap of 16-7 3/4. She also led the Lions’ 4-by-100 team – with Noami Maya-Mendoza, Nicole Carter and Alena Starverova – that finished second with a time of 50.88.
“And again, she’s dealing with a tight quad that is keeping her from competing at her best,” MacDougall said of Alfrey. Carter is moving on in the sprints. The junior posted a fourth-place, 12.94-second time in the 100 meters and a third-place 26.46 in the 200. Senior Maya Wagers qualified with fourth-place finishes in the hurdles, running a 16.88 in the 100 and 50.16 in the 300 intermediates. Junior Viktoriya Vasina was fifth in the triple jump (33-0 1/4) and sophomore MayaMendoza moves on with a fifth in the 200 (27.17). Rachel Greve won the javelin throw with a 108-11. She also qualified in the shot put (sixth, 32-0) and discus (sixth, 97-9). Sophomore Elli Alfrey was second in the javelin (105-3), and sophomore Heaven Palaita was second in the shot put with a (35-2). Junior Maddy Taylor was first in the high jump (5-2), and freshman Tiffany Pott was fifth (4-6). The 4-by-200 relay team, with Maya-Mendoza, Kelly Brudvik, Carter and Starvero-
