City examines possible annexation of 3 areas By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Three areas within the City of Auburn’s potential annexation area (PAA) remain for it to incorporate – the first two are on the King County side, the third is in Pierce County.
While Auburn completely surrounds the first two PAAs, the Klump/Thomas PAA, southeast of the old Thomas School flanking 85th Avenue Southeast on the east and west sides, it wraps municipal arms around only 85 percent of the third, the Stuck-Totem PAA, visibly plentiful in livestock as one
tools along A Street Southeast or 29th Street Southeast. Despite the persistent shadow of the thumping “get lost” verdict residents of all three areas rendered on annexation in February 2008 – only 21 votes “for” registered in all three of the areas combined – City officials this
week began looking once more at incorporating them. Much this time around rides, said Councilman John Holman, upon how the City promotes annexation, for example, whether resident’s taxes would go up, down, or stay the same, what the City says about water and sewer
rates, what it says about police response time, even whether people in Stuck-Totem with critters could keep them. “The more public outreach we do, the smoother this whole thing goes,” Holman told members [ more ANNEX page 8 ]

f the walls of Auburn’s Skate Connection could only talk, oh, the stories they could share. Tales of skaters young and old. Tales of figure skating, speed skating and indoor hockey on roller skates. Tales of Olympic speed skating gold medalist Apolo Ohno, who got his start on the maple wood floor of the Skate Connection. Tales of the heyday of indoor skating during the disco-mad early 1980s. Luckily, the walls don’t have to talk – they’ve got John Gustafson. In September of 1973, Gustafson, then 29, bought the Skate Connection from its original owner, Jack Watkins. “He used to own this whole block right here,” said Gustafson, now 69. “He inherited it from his mom.

Brewmaster Greg Fleehart likes to keep it simple. “I’d rather make a simple, quote ‘boring’ beer and make it as drinkable as I can, versus making a mediocre beer and putting a bunch of stuff in there to make it taste OK,” said Fleehart, 28, who plies his craft for Northwest Brewing Company. “I’d rather focus on quality and the process.” As the man in charge of the Pacificbased microbrewery’s beer formulation and production, Fleehart is usually happy [ more BREWERS page 9 ]

Watershed projects receive $1.2 million boost FOR THE REPORTER
Comedian Aaron Derrick, with the Chuckles for Children Tour, presents a $2,200 donation to Arlene Pierini, executive director of Communities In Schools of Auburn. The money will support students in need with clothing, back-to-school supplies and basic essentials. COURTESY PHOTO
Comedy tour benefits Communities In Schools of Auburn Comedians Aaron Derrick and Lukah G. have been touring comedy clubs throughout the Northwest this summer with a portion of the ticket sales from each show benefiting Communities In Schools of Auburn (CISA). After the last tour stop on
the Chuckles for Children Tour in Tacoma on Aug. 16, the comedy group gave CISA Executive Director Arlene Pierini $2,200 to help students in need with clothing, back-to-school supplies and basic essentials. “The group believes in giving back to the community and knew the organization would use the money to help students facing the challenges of poverty,” said Aaron Derrick, headline comedian. “We found audiences were very interested in helping students
in need, regardless of the community. Club-goers would often add donations of their own.” Pierini expressed her gratitude for the innovative fundraising help. “As school starts up, we are getting calls on a daily basis from school staff and parents worried about children not having even the most basic clothing, shoes and supplies,” Pierini said. “This donation will not only help this fall, but will help us continue support as the school year continues.”
Projects aimed at improving water quality, controlling flooding, protecting and restoring habitat, and supporting salmon recovery efforts in Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9) – which encompasses the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed – received a lift from the King County Flood Control District at its Monday meeting. The Flood Control District Board of Supervisors approved $1.2 million in Cooperative Watershed Management Grant funding for WRIA 9 to boost the clean water and salmon recovery efforts of local organizations. The cities that are part of WRIA 9 are: Algona, Auburn, Black Diamond, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Enumclaw, Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, Normandy Park, Renton, SeaTac, Seattle and Tukwila. “It is vitally important to protect our local water resources and habitats,” said Supervisor Reagan Dunn, chair of the Flood Control District Board of Supervisors. “I am pleased that the Flood Control District can partner with the 16 local governments and other agencies inside WRIA 9 and play a key role in helping to fund these projects.” “This funding will help restore and protect the beautiful watershed in South King County, which provides environmental and economic benefits to our community,” said Julia Patterson, vice chair of the King County Flood Control District. “I look forward to watching these dollars at work in protecting our South County resources.”

Auburn, valley cities launch non-emergency phone number FOR THE REPORTER
Auburn, Algona and Pacific residents will have a new number to call for non-emergency situations beginning Sept. 16. Citizens are now urged to call 253-288-2121 for circumstances that are non-emergent and do not require immediate assistance from police, fire or medics. Examples of a non-emergency
call may be – but are not limited to – reporting a nuisance, such as a noise or parking complaint; reporting a non-emergency crime involving stolen property; or vandalism (after the fact). Using the non-emergency number will help reduce the number of non-emergency calls to 911 operators and ensure that calls are being handled in the most efficient manner possible.
Both 911 and the 253-2882121 numbers will ring into the Valley Communications System. If an emergency is detected from a non-emergency call, it will be routed to the correct operator for immediate response. Examples of when to call 911 include: serious medical emergencies; any type of fire; any crime in progress; dangerous and/or life threatening situations; any
CRIME
The City of Auburn’s next Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Evening sessions are from 6:30 to 9:30 and runs through Nov. 12.

Study finds nearly half of state’s distracted drivers are texting For the Reporter
In the state’s first study to examine driver use of electronic devices, investigators from the University of Washington found that more than 8 percent of drivers were engaged in the use of devices behind the wheel, higher than previously estimated. Among those driving distracted, nearly half (45 percent) were observed texting. The study examined the behaviors of 7,800 drivers in six counties. Using randomized observations at controlled intersections, investigators recorded drivers engaged in a range of distracting activities, including texting and talking on the phone. Researchers found
that the most common source of distraction was a hand-held device such as a cell phone. Among the 3.4 percent of drivers who were talking on a handheld phone, half were holding the device near or under the steering wheel, a behavior considered high-risk since a driver’s attention is diverted from the road. The study has important implications for state public health and law enforcement officials. Motor vehicle injuries remain the leading cause of death for Americans under 35 years of age and estimates suggest that up to 28 percent of crash risk is attributable to cell phone use or text messaging in vehicles. While the use of cell phones in the U.S. has grown exponentially, enforcement of distracted driving laws has struggled to keep pace.

Memorial will heal, bring local community together
The Joint American-Vietnamese Honor Memorial is to honor all veterans from that war, showing respect and gratitude. It is a work in progress. Lan Phan Jones, the daughter of a South Vietnamese soldier, began the project in appreciation of American-born veterans who served in her country. The idea gained speed with input from Auburn veterans. Thus plans were made for a monument in Auburn. The Joint American-Vietnamese Alliance was formed later to support this project. This monument goes beyond a normal memorial’s portrayal of a combat soldier of a particular era. Auburn acknowledges the sacrifices of women and medics who cared for what was left of the bloody carnage. Future plans will allow individuals to memorialize those lost, with names such as Gary Holz of Auburn. This monument is to provide a place for all people, veterans and non-veterans of this region, to remember former comrades and mourn those who paid the ultimate sacrafice. It also is intended to be an educational tool, telling of sacrifices and history of that era, just as the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall has been for years while displayed at the present memorial park. In the 1960s and early ’70s, the errant news media was successful in turning the public against the Vietnam Conflict, which was really one part of the overall global “Cold War.” Vietnam was an effort to contain communism, a cruel form of government that [ more STODDERT page 6 ]

Joint memorial ramifications will divide community The City of Auburn has drafted ordinance 6840 in response to the Auburn VFW Post 1741’s non-support for the joint memorial project to honor allied veterans of the Vietnam War. The new ordinance basically gives City officials total authority to place any monument on City property that it deems appropriate. This ordinance came about due to numerous comments, letters and emails to public officials opposing the use of public property to honor veterans from other countries. VFW Post 1741 remains vocal in its objection because this issue will divide the community and has already generated strong emotions on both sides. VFW Post 1741 has taken two votes on this issue, and both by strong majority did not support the joint Vietnam-allied memorial on public property.
Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. Here is one reason why. America walked away from the Vietnam War in 1973 due to loss of public support for the war. Unfortunately, too many citizens turned their backs on returning Vietnam veterans, forcing them to find their own methods for coping with the wounds of war. Benefit programs to help them were
stalled for years, and those scars are still visible in many Vietnam veterans today. Vietnam veterans themselves are divided on this issue. VFW Post 1741 respectfully asks the City to consider alternatives that unite the city and help its residents. Two such projects are the Joint Veterans/ Human Resource Center and the Flag Pavilion proposed by City Councilmember Rich Wagner. The Flag Pavilion project can benefit all citizens of Auburn and offer fairness by approving projects equal in size and scope for private groups with a cause. VFW Post 1741 strongly objects to special interest politics that can divide the Auburn community. Approving the joint memorial may help a few, but will offend many. Please contact your City officials and encourage them to spend their time and energy on issues that unite the city, not on projects [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

Railroads move America’s energy safely, efficiently For activists intent on stopping all use of fossil fuel, train safety has become their cause du jour. After all, if you can block transport of fossil fuels, you can choke off their use. If they succeed, it’s not clear how we will heat and light our homes and schools, get to work,
run businesses, keep the hospitals operating, stock grocery stores or harvest crops – but apparently, that’s an inconvenient question for another day. America’s rail system has undergone a transformation over the last 40 years. In 1970, the once grand railroads of the Northeast were dilapidated;

the iconic Penn Central railroad was in collapse. The PC was losing over $1 million a day; poorly trained dispatchers literally lost trains throughout the system. When the flow of red ink became a flood, managers started deferring maintenance; derailments became the norm. To reduce accidents, speeds on large sections of track were reduced to 10 mph. Freight
traffic slowed to a crawl. It was the low point of the American rail system. Today, the picture is very different. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. trains carried goods and people more than 740 million miles last year. [ more BRUNELL page 7 ]

Pondelick’s changing alliances As a lifetime resident and longtime business owner in Auburn, I cannot help but respond to Mr. Pondelick”s letter (“Backus is my choice to lead Auburn”, Auburn Reporter, Sept. 6). He spent months campaigning on the platform that Auburn is broken and needs to be fixed. He came to my business many times and repeatedly stated that voting for his opponent, Nancy Backus, would only perpetuate this problem. Now he does some soul searching and decides that Auburn doesn’t need to be fixed? Knowing that he has spoken at length with both of the other candidates prior to the primary, you think maybe he would have taken time to evaluate his choices before running for mayor. I wonder how much money the taxpayers would have saved if Mr. Pondelick had thought about his alliances earlier and saved us the cost of a mayoral primary. Seems like a huge waste. It’s ironic that he now supports an administration that is famous
www.auburn-reporter.com for the wasting of Auburn taxpayers’ money. I hope his supporters also take some time to reflect on their choice for mayor. One more thought. I have to wonder if Mr. Pondelick is expecting some personal benefit to his choice to now support the same administration he was so against just a few weeks ago. – Jana Silberling
Support Backus for Auburn mayor It’s time Auburn promoted a competent, forwarding thinking, dedicated and conscientious woman who has served our city for the past decade to the leader of our city – rather than tossing away her experience and dedication. That person is Nancy Backus. Following a family tradition, I was honored to be appointed to the Auburn Planning Commission. In that role, I have watched Nancy grow in her role as a councilmember of the Planning and Community Development Committee into a strong and passionate leader. She listens to the citizens, asks the important questions of staff and brings in her financial experience in evaluating a problem or in researching new ideas. She clearly uses her personal knowledge in making decisions and is not swayed by other influences or individuals. There are

times when not everyone agrees with each other, but Nancy presents her views with respect to all, and I think of her as a consensus builder – getting people together on the same page. Please consider Nancy before you vote in November. Our growing city needs a mayor who has the longevity and experience of knowing the big picture, yet also keeps track of the fine details that are ever so important in running a city government.

bility while inspiring a lifetime of character and service. If you do not agree with some of BSA’s policies, please do not verbally bully children who have nothing to do with those policies. BSA recently changed policy and does not exclude boys from being Scouts based on their sexual preference – this decision was based on the response from current Scouts and registered parents of Scouts in a survey. Our Scouts deserve respect from the community they serve. A Cub Scout is learning about being a good person and the excitement of outdoor life.

a Vietnamese woman, also a nurse veteran, started a project to bring veterans together in Seattle. Although they were physically threatened, the gathering was a brilliant success. This was true for the projects in California, Texas, Kansas and Washington, D.C. The Joint AmericanVietnamese War Memorial intends to teach, enhance the quality of living and encourage commerce through tourism. However, the primary intention is for the future – to tell the story of the cost of freedom-democracy-self determination. There are many Vietnam vets who are pleading in tears to build it. The recent successful Vietnam Veteran Appreciation Dinner il-
lustrated this, one-hundred guests coming on short notice from both communities. It is our belief that if everyone who has a realistic concern over this project and contributes that concern, not in opposition, a greater project will be achieved. A win-win situation will be gained for all veterans, the City of Auburn, and the communities of Puget Sound. Think about what this says to the future. Thom Stoddert, SFC.

It’s coming: Health reform 2014
Rail has once again become a major commuter option, logging more than 20.5 billion passenger miles in 2012. As technology and oversight have improved, the railroads have amassed a good safety record, even as rail traffic has increased. The FRA reports that in 2012 there was one derailment for every 582,167 miles traveled, one fatality per 82 million miles, and 2.65 accidents at rail crossings for every million miles traveled. Our state Department of Transportation notes, “Rail is a safe and

Ten essential benefits All of the new plans will include the 10 essential health benefits required by the Affordable Care Act, including ambulatory patient services; emergency services; hospitalization; maternity and newborn care; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management; mental health and substance use disorder services. How much you’ll pay for a health plan depends on the plan you choose. All plans sold in the Washington Healthplanfinder will have different levels of cost sharing. These are called the “metal levels” as mentioned previously to choose from. The difference between the metal levels is based on how much of the medical costs your health plan picks up and how much you pay through copays and coinsurance. For example, a Bronze Plan will pay 60 percent and you will pay 40 percent of medical costs. A Silver Plan will pay 70 percent and you pay 30 percent; Gold Plan will pay 80 percent and you pay 20 percent and the Platinum plan will pay 90 percent and you will pay 10

Just one oil terminal in Vancouver could generate up to 250 construction jobs and up to 120 permanent full-time positions, primarily from the local community. The bottom line is, if we don’t build the shipping terminals here, the trains will simply go through Washington to Canadian ports, taking the jobs with them. To enhance safety, railroads have invested heavily in technologies that provide advance notice of potential problems. Some of these technologies include wheel impact detectors, wheel journal detectors

The federal government also requires railroads to route hazardous materials on lines posing the least safety and security risk. Will all this guarantee that there will never be an accident? Of course not. But it’s important to keep things in perspective so we can make informed judgments about issues that are important to us all.

percent. The percentages you the consumer are responsible for will include deductibles, coinsurance and co-payments. Bronze plans have the minimal level of coverage you need to meet the requirement to have creditable health insurance. Out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles and copays, are limited to the same costs allowed in a health saving account (HSAs). The amount changes each year, and is currently $6,250 for an individual and $12,500 for a family. To help cover the cost of insurance, premium subsidies are available to those who qualify for financial assistance. These subsidies are available only to individuals, only when coverage is purchased through the individual exchange, only when employer sponsored coverage is deemed unaffordable and only when the individual’s income is below a certain threshold. If you are an individual or family earning between 133 and 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, you could get help paying your premium. This also changes each year, but today, this is $15,282 to $45,960 for an individual and $31,321 to $94,200 for a family of four.

and cannot offer advice about satisfying personal needs or recommending insurance, benefits or plans. Open enrollment: The individual mandate requires all Americans to purchase insurance beginning in 2014, if not already covered by a plan. For Americans who lack coverage, they may be subject to a fine, which starts at $95.00 in 2014 and increases to $695.00 in 2016. This is the time period where all Americans can buy a guaranteed issue health plan. The dates for open enrollment are Oct. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. If you do not buy during this time, you will not be allowed to buy a plan from the exchange until the next open enrollment, unless you have a life-changing event. Private carriers: Insurance companies writing health insurance with all the new reform rules. These carriers will offer four metal plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum). At this time, we don’t have rates on all the carriers, but we do anticipate the rates to be roughly 25-50 percent higher than current health rates. Rating of these policies will now be determined based on age, zip code, tobacco use and number of family members. Open enrollment outside the exchange: For enrollment in a health insurance plan outside of the exchange, individuals can enroll anytime up to the day Ron Copple
Quite possibly the most confusing mandate of our time is about to hit. The health insurance landscape has never looked more confusing. There are lots of rules and more changes are definitely coming down the pipeline. There are many decisions to be made when considering open enrollment in this new era of healthcare reform. It is important to be well informed. Exchanges: They truly provide a unique, new marketplace for individuals and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to shop for coverage. The big fundamental question is, “If you build it, will they come?” The key to success rests with the public’s buying behaviors and whether these exchanges will ultimately meet the public’s need. The public exchange is the only option for people to qualify for a tax subsidy based on income. Not all carriers will participate in the exchanges, and by visiting with your broker/navigator or going to the Washington HealthPlanFinder website (www.wahealthplanfinder.org) you can find the listed carriers and their respective plans. A “navigator” is a person certified to assist with the exchange programs and carriers. The navigator is not allowed to sell you a private health plan outside the public exchange

Along with the danger that such possible makeshift, shoesized living spaces present to students being shoehorned into them, residents told City officials, came potential jerry-rigged electrical systems and genuine piles of garbage, parking issues and lots of noise. The City’s Planning and Community Development Committee, the Auburn Planning Commission and planners worked for months on the broader issue of student/rental housing within the City, laying particular emphasis on the single-family residential neighborhoods near GRCC. On Sept. 3, the Auburn City Council passed an ordinance keyed to fix the problems cited by Campbell and his neighbors. “Safety is our number one concern here; that students and the neighborhoods are safe,” said Council member Nancy Backus. “Yes, parking impacts, yes, noise

method would be for the City Council to pass a resolution, that is, a notice of intent to annex, to send along to the King County or Pierce County boundary review boards. As long as another city or district does not invoke jurisdiction within 45 days, the boundary review boards would make their decisions, and provided they say “yes,” Auburn would then move on with an ordinance approving the annexation.

• The owner/landlord must provide the City with information, including the total number of bedrooms in the rental unit, the total number of occupants, proof that structural additions and modifications are properly permitted and inspected, that garbage and recycling will be properly managed, that adequate off-street parking has been provided for tenants, and that noise and other public nuisances are monitored and controlled. week the City mailed information about it to homeowners, information keyed to arrive before school starts at GRCC. The idea there, according to Mayor Pete Lewis, is to let people know, “we’ve changed the law, be on notice.” Senior planner Elizabeth Chamberlain said that the City has launched a website to educate people about the new ordinance. On Tuesday it mailed postcardsized notices to affected property owners and residents with information about the website, which

She said that the City will continue to work with the college on the issue of student housing. “(GRCC) has said they are willing to work with us on sharing some address lists with the City so we can start seeing — this goes into the code enforcement piece of this — if students are putting the same address down, say, five times,” Chamberlain said. “That will help us to identify those locations that haven’t registered through the program.”

We could be their savior in this particular case and save them a lot of money. I think it’s all in how we talk to our potential annexees, that this is a good thing. Especially for some of these that have commercial designations, this could potentially improve the value of their land.” Stuck-Totem, which abuts A Street Southeast, is zoned heavy commercial and the balance of it is high-density residential. This area varies from manufactured home parks to multi-family residences to the northeast before becoming single-family neighborhoods.
“Using the resolution method is fairly clean, and if we do a good outreach program, we may not even go to elections,” Holman said. “They have to solicit 10 percent of the last state election within that area. If we use the boundary review board to good effect, we may not (have to hold elections). If we do a good publicity campaign that shows it is to their benefit to come into the city of Auburn, we could also clear up some of the ambiguities we have about police response right now. This is the sort of handholding we need to do in our public outreach. I think this thing will sail through.” “I think that if we even hope to have a positive response to this, it has significant outreach. John, I am not as optimistic as you are … without significant outreach,” Backus said.

[ BREWERS from page 1 ] fine-tuning the company’s more traditional offerings – including its flagship Hoppy Bitch IPA, Jetstream Lager and his own recipe, Three Skulls. Every once in a while, though Fleehart admits, he likes to experiment. “It’s OK to do (flavored, crazy beers) every once in a while to get energized,” Fleehart said. This Sunday beer aficionados get the chance to sample a couple of the brewery’s beers at the annual Hops and Crops Festival at Mary Olson Farm in Auburn. Among the beers on tap from the Northwest will be the company’s seasonal pumpkin beer. “It was a fun beer to brew,” Fleehart said. “We actually went overboard on some of the silly stuff.” Fleehart explained that he roasted two organic red pumpkins for the brew, adding cinnamon and sugar to the mash. Then he roasted the seeds and milled them into the mix. “Then I baked a couple of pumpkin pies - just the filling without the milk or anything like that - and added that” he said. “We just had a lot of fun with it. I drank a whole pint right out of the tank. It was gone before I knew it, so I knew we had a pretty good beer.” And Fleehart knows beer. Fleehart began brewing not long after graduating from Gonzaga University in 2007 with a degree in business administration and marketing. While in Spokane, Fleehart said, he was turned on to the flavor potential of craft beer during a trip to local microbrew Northing Lights Brewing Company (now NoLi Brewing). “I went there and tasted a 13th anniversary Imperial IPA, and it blew my head off,” he said. “It was so much flavor in a beer, and I had no idea a beer
could taste that way. I could barely handle it, because I was a novice. But I was really intrigued.” After relocating to the Puget Sound area, Fleehart parlayed his curiosity into a trip to Gallaghers’ Where U Brew, where he formulated his first beer, a nut-brown ale. “It turned our really great,” he said. “While I was doing it, I realized that was what I wanted to do for a living. So I really got into home brewing. And I kind of used that as a way to deal with the stress of working in marketing, which I was doing for a couple of years.”
Natural brewer It was soon apparent that Fleehart had a knack for brewing. “I won some home brewing awards and was doing really well,” he said. “Then I got some volunteer work with Gilligan’s Brewing Company, which was one of the first nano-breweries in the company, along with Schooner Exact and Two Beers. While I was there, I helped brewing and filling growlers and got a little experience working with those guys.” Fleehart soon was offered a chance to help out part time at Silver City Brewing in Silverdale. After losing his marketing job in 2009, he began brewing full time. “(My wife and I) just decided that I should see if I could make a living as a brewer,” he said. “We had nothing else to lose. I was promoted to lead brewer after about a year. Then I got a job here, back when it was Trade Route.” The commute from his residence in Bainbridge Island to Pacific proved too much for Fleehart, however, and he soon moved on to Fremont Brewing. After a year however it was back to Pacific. . With new ownership and a ramped-up capacity, Fleehart said, he jumped at
the chance. “It was a good opportunity for me to get back here,” he said. Fleehart, under the leadership of new owners Greg Steed and Dan Anthony, set about reformulating the brewery’s recipes and updating the production process. “The beer quality here when I was first here was mediocre because of our (technological) limitations,” he said. “So we put a little time and money and efforts into getting some of the basics down. It was frustrating, challenging, everything, to say the least. It was hard to make the best beer possible without the resources to do it. Over time we’ve added things to make it more like a real brewery. We’re still very manual in how we make beer, so it’s cool to see us winning awards with such a low-tech setup and things that shouldn’t actually work but do. It’s a little bit of baling wire and duct tape.” Judging by reaction in the beer community, however, the change is beginning to pay off for Northwest Brewing. “We did a Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Stout that won a silver medal at the Washington Beer Awards,” Fleehart said. “And Hoppy Bitch won third place at the Reno’s CanFest. It was a shock, but we were pretty happy with that.” Fleehart said he’s busy fine-tuning Northwest’s brewing process and working with his three-man brew crew to make sure they put out consistently tasty beer, despite the obstacles. “Our team is great. They do a lot of manual labor,” he said. “We have three guys who are passionate about making the best beer we can. We’re really fortunate. They’ve been instrumental in making better beer.” For more information, visit www.northwestbrewingcompany.com.
“I opened and managed the one in Puyallup, which is still open.” After trying without success to buy into the company, which at the time also operated a rink in Kent, Gustafson said he jumped at the chance to buy the Auburn Skate Connection, warts and all. “The floor that was in it was an absolute embarrassment,” he said. “It was parquet tile. We dealt with that until 1978, and then I put down a particle board floor. I put down what they called roller board. It was 4 by 8-feet sheets, and they weighed 155 pounds each.” In 1990, Gustafson added the current maple floor. “I bid for it out in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1989,” Gustafson said. “The city was selling the floor and buying a new floor, so they put this one up for bid, and I won. And they said ‘you’ have to come out and ‘get it, now’. I knew the Special Olympics needed a portable floor up in Special Olympics, so I contacted them.” Gustafson said the organizers agreed to come pick up the floor, store and then use it for the 1990 summer Special Olympics, before returning it to Gustafson to move and install in Auburn. “So they came and picked it up and moved it up to the University of Minnesota,” Gustafson said. “At their cost, they picked it up and stored it. Then they put it up for the special Olympics. Then I was supposed to ship it up here at
my cost, but the Target Corporation picked up the tab and drove it right out here. It took two tractor trailers.” In his 40 years at the rink, Gustafson said, he’s seen the ebb and flow in skating’s popularity. “There is always a seven-year cycle,” Gustafson said. “During the disco-era, in the 1980s, we just had to open the doors and we were packed. It was really the ‘in’ thing to do then.” In the 1990s, Gustafson said, inline skates sparked a renewed interest in skating. Inline skating came around in 1990 and became commonplace. “That company was responsible for that. Before that it was just quads,” Gustafson said. Although quads remain popular for activities that require more control, such as figure skating and roller derby, the increased speeds possible on inlines were part of the appeal, he said. “You can just do more tricks on quads,” Gustafson said, “but the inlines are so much faster.” The popularity gave rise to a new generation of speed skaters, including Olympian Ohno, whom Gustafson coached for three years. “He was here for three years, then moved to Federal Way (Pattinsons West) for five years, then switched to ice,” Gustafson said. “He’s just a wonderful
guy, a real nice guy.” Gustafson said today’s skating business is in the middle of a popularity peak, thanks, in part, to the resurgence of roller derby. “Derby has been a benefit to the popularity of skating,” Gustafson said. “The Dockyard Derby Dames practice here on Wednesdays and Sundays.” The rink even hosted a youth derby camp during the summer. The real key to weathering the ups and downs that come with any business, however, has been Gustafson’s emphasis on providing a family-friendly environment at the rink. “We cater to families,” Gustafson said. “We try and make sure everything is clean and neat, and that everybody who comes in can have a good time. It’s good, wholesome recreation, where the whole family can come in and enjoy some time together. I’ve got grandkids of the original skaters who used to come in coming in now. It’s just wonderful to see them coming in.” To thank Auburn residents for their support the past 40 years, Skate Connection will host an anniversary open skate on Saturday and Sunday, with free admission and $1.50 skate rental. “I just want to thank the people of Auburn for their continued support of the skating rink here,” he said. “They’ve been very supportive.”

Study: Green River ranks among top associate degree producers nationally FOR THE REPORTER
Green River Community College was among the nation’s top associate degree and certificate awarding colleges in the 20122013 academic year, according to a recent study released by national journal Community College Week. Over the last 10 years, Green
River has made the top 100 list seven times. “The Community College Week study reflects what we at Green River strive to do every day: ensure student success,” said Green River President Dr. Eileen Ely. “Our vision is to be ranked among the very best in student completion and success and it is
gratifying to see that we are reaching that goal.” In addition to the top 100 associate degree-granting rank, Green River was recognized as 14 in the country among two-year colleges producing Natural Resources and Conservation degrees. The college is working toward creating a fouryear bachelor of applied science
degree for its nationally-recognized natural resources program. Green River also ranked in the top 100 colleges granting one-year certificates in all disciplines. It also ranked among the top 25 colleges in the country in total nonminority, African-American and Asian-American students earning one-year certificates. Among
American-Indian students receiving a one-year certificate, Green River ranked 60 nationally. A certificate is a short-term credential showing a student’s abilities within a more comprehensive degree. For more information, visit greenriver.edu.

Blum interviewed more than 55 women veterans over the past seven years to write the book. On tour she plans to
discuss the issue of military sexual assault, educate the public and inspire action from Congress to end the culture of abuse toward women in the military. “I can use my Social Security checks to pay my bills while I am traveling and need donations to pay for the travel expenses of airfare, rental car and hotels,” Blum wrote on her website. “Thank you for supporting my mission to bring justice to women in the military and women veterans.” To learn more or to donate, please visit www. gofundme.com/43om48.

Auburn girls look to return to postseason By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@yahoo.com
Last year was a magical season for the Auburn girls soccer squad. After a 30-year state tournament drought, the Trojans fought their way through the brutal South Puget Sound League North 4A and the district playoffs to earn a state 4A berth. “It was fun,” recalled third-year coach Adam Ladage. “It was an exciting time for them. We didn’t finish as well as we wanted to in league (fifth in the SPSL North), but we won the games when we needed to. The dog pile (celebration) after the game against Olympia, after they realized they were going to state, was just amazing.” This season, with the bulk of the team returning, the Trojans again look to make their way out of the rugged North and back into the state playoffs. “We have high hopes and expectations for ourselves,” Ladage said. “We play in a very tough league, with teams like Kentwood, Tahoma and Kentridge.

[ soccer from page 16] from 1-0 to win at Kentwood, our season just changed right there. It was a belief. “Not a single girl on my program had been on a winning Auburn team,” he said. “They just started to believe in themselves and each other then.” According to Robinson, the Trojans’ belief in their ability to knock off the traditional North leaders has carried over to this season. “We were terrified of teams like Kentwood, Kentridge and Tahoma last year,” said senior defender Kailey Robinson. “This year we’re ready to play them and make a name for ourselves again. We’re ready to go back (to state). We’re not scared.”
www.auburn-reporter.com AUBURN RIVERSIDE RAVENS
• Outlook: Coming into last season’s league schedule Auburn Mountainview looked to be one of the teams to beat, with a No. 3 ranking in the state 3A poll. Five injuries in the Lions’ first league game however hampered the team’s quest for postseason glory. . Despite the injuries, the Lions still qualified for the postseason with a fourth-place finish in the SPSL 3A. This year the Lions turn to Utah State-
bound senior midfielder Clarkson to key the team. Also back is midfielder Wagner, a first-team All-SPSL 3A selection last year. “We need to score goals,” Davidson said. “We’re always pretty good defensively, but we didn’t score enough goals last year. It was our lowest goal-scoring total in eight seasons.” senior team leadership looks to be a team strength. “I have five captains (Finney, Carter, Wagner, Newell and Clarkson). There are so many kids in that class, and everyone of them is an excellent leader. I think that might be the intangible that will help us this year.”
Robinson said the team is already further along in the chemistry department this year. “What is different is we’ve known each other for so long,” she said. “The chemistry was there last year. It was great. And all the girls loved each other and were hanging out together, bonding. And trying to get better at practice. The focus at practice and games was always there because we were always behind each other and accountable to each other. “This year we have the most seniors that we’ve ever had, so we’re an old team,” Robinson said. “We have new additions also, with two new freshman. I think once we play together for a while and get used to playing without the people
that we lost, we have the potential to be just as good, if not better, than last year.” Ladage expects the team’s senior leadership to make the difference this year. “Senior leadership (is our strength),” he said. “We have eight seniors, all of them on varsity for at least three years, most of them four years. So we have this core of players who have been together for a long time and believe in each other.” Ladage added: “We have a great senior leader in the back in Kailey. I think we’re probably a little farther along this year than we were last year. But we peaked so high at the right time last year, and that’s half of what it is. Can you play well at the right times?”
senior, forward; Nicole Carter, senior, midfielder; Anastasia Finney, senior, goalkeeper; and Madison Newell, senior midfielder.
• Impact newcomers: Robin Hood, junior, forward; and Jordan Harrison, sophomore, midfielder.
• Outlook: The Ravens graduated just three seniors off last year’s injurydepleted squad. With a seventh-place finish in the SPSL North 4A, Auburn Riverside was a much better team than its record indicated. Part of the problem last year was the team’s lack of goalkeeping; with the program’s only goalie, Nelson, spending the better part of the season sidelined with concussion issues. “When you’re pulling starters off the field to play goal, it’s hard,” he said. “If we can keep Kristina healthy, that will be huge.” The team also hopes to have the services of
Crimi, an All-SPSL North 4A first-team selection last season. Because she transferred out of Auburn Riverside then back in last year, she has to appeal to the WIAA to become eligible to play this season. Also key to the team this year is Seelbach, a first-team all-league selection at defender last season. Add in sophomore Hood, who had 23 goals for the Raven junior varsity last season, and a trip to the postseason could be in the cards. “If we don’t finish better than 5-9-2 this season, I’d be surprised and disappointed,” Lewis said.
With the intangibles, like leadership and chemistry in place, Ladage – who was named co-SPSL North 4A Coach of the Year last season – said the team just
needs to get its offense going early in the season. “We have to find a way to score goals,” he said. “We’ve struggled to score goals in the past. And we have to do
what we did last year, which is to get results at key times. There are going to be some key games where we know we need to get a result to be successful.”
• Coach: Paul Lewis, ninth year. • Last year: seventh in the SPSL North 4A with a 5-9-2 record. • Top returners: Emmi Seelbach, senior, defender; Lauren Crimi, senior, forward; Jewli-Ann Young-Holm, junior, forward; Kathleen Guitierrez, senior, midfielder; Kristina Nelson, junior, goalkeeper; and Megan Lucchesi, senior, midfielder.

Bryant Thomas-era begins for Ravens with 41-13 win at Mount Rainier Reporter Staff
Auburn Riverside opened the 2013 season under new head coach Bryant Thomas with an emphatic 41-13 South Puget Sound League North 4A win at Mount Rainier. The Ravens wasted no time making their pres-
ence felt offensively, running the score to 34-0 by the end of the first half. Auburn Riverside would add another touchdown in the fourth quarter before allowing Mount Rainier to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Senior quarterback Kevin Thomson got things

Picture your pet as the next AVHS calendar star For the Reporter
The Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS) is launching its inaugural Pet Photo Calendar Contest, giving pet lovers everywhere an opportunity to show off their lovable pets while raising money for the homeless and abandoned animals at the shelter. While the contest is a way for pet owners to have a little fun bragging about the cuteness factor of their favorite pet, it’s also a serious opportunity to raise awareness about the need for local support to help them continue to fulfill their important mission. Pet owners are urged
to submit a photo of their favorite two or four-legged friend to the contest from now until Sept. 30. How to enter? Fill out and submit an official AVHS 2014 Pet Photo Calendar Contest entry form, which can be found on the website at www.auburnvalleyhs.org, or by stopping by the shelter. • Provide a digital color photo in horizontal layout, 8-by-10-inch in size, on a compact disc with that single photograph saved to the highest resolution as a .jpg file. • Write a brief description (75 words or less) of how your pet has improved
your life. • Pay the $10 entry fee. • Next, ask your friends and family to vote using the link found at www.auburnvalleyhs.org. Each vote is $1. Vote as many times as you wish. Every vote is tax deductible.
Voting ends at midnight, Sunday, Oct. 20. Winners will be announced Oct. 22, and placement in the 2014 AVHS Pet Photo Calendar will be awarded to the top 12 receiving the most votes. The single entry with the most votes/do-
nations will be awarded the cover of the calendar and one month in the calendar. The monthly assignment of the remaining 11 finalists will be determined by AVHS staff. All 12 finalists also will receive a complimentary copy of the calendar. All
other contestants’ photos will also be used throughout the calendar pages as graphic highlights. For a complete listing of contest rules, participants can visit the shelter at 4910 A St., Auburn, or go to www.auburnvalleyhs.org.

Grace Baker walks her dog, Karma, in the dog show. Baker won for having the Cutest Dog at the Wiggles, Wags, N’ Whiskers Pet Event in Kent last Saturday. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter
Pet community comes together, supports cause Local vendors and support organizations converged at the Kent Senior Center last Saturday for the Wiggles, Wags, N’ Whiskers Pet Event. Girl Scout Troop 44180 and M&M’s Critter Cottage hosted the event to raise money and awareness for Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) and the cottage to support efforts to care for the medical needs of animals brought in for care before they can be placed for
adoption. The event served as the troop’s silver project through educating the public about animal rescue organizations and animal resources available in the community as well as an information table with handouts related to animal topics. The event also included food, a raffle, and a pet contest sponsored by M&M’s Critter Cottage to raise money for the organizations.
