Backus

Shooting at casino wounds 2; suspect jailed

Partridge

Backus holds edge in mayoral countdown

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Pierce County Elections reported no new votes in the Auburn mayoral race as of Tuesday afternoon. And when all 15 remaining validated votes in King County were counted Tuesday, Nancy Backus had picked up one more, extending her lead over John Partridge to 135 votes. What the numbers show is that as of Tuesday afternoon, time and the number of votes remaining to count in the close race to succeed Pete Lewis were about out. Backus, hoping to be Auburn’s first female mayor, had received 6,705 votes in the combined total of King and Pierce counties, 50.51 percent, to John Partridge’s [ more ELECTION page 2 ]

The man police say seriously wounded two men outside the Muckleshoot Casino late last Saturday night made his first court appearance at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent Monday afternoon on suspicion of two counts of first-degree assault. Because prosecutors have not formally charged the man, a 63-year-old Renton resident, with a crime, the Auburn Reporter for the time being is not disclosing his name. The court set bail at $500,000. The suspect’s second court appearance was Wednesday. The two victims, Brian Beasley and Daniel Mora, remain in serious condition at an area hospital. According to the determination for certification of probable cause filed by Auburn Police – an account largely based on what the suspect told police – the suspect had been driving with his wife through the parking garage of the casino shortly before 8:45 p.m. when Beasley and Mora, who had been walking near his car, confronted him. According to the police account, Mora walked over to the driver’s door and began swearing at the suspect. [ more SHOOTING page 4 ]

Restaurateurs, barbers to feed community By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Their grinders are such stuff as gustatory dreams are made on. They know just about everything there is to know about baking pizza pies and concocting succulent pasta dishes.

And for the second year, brothers Bill and Tom Contoravdis, owners of Athens Pizza and Pasta at 959 E. Main Street, are preparing to cook up and serve not pasta but lots of good old American Thanksgiving dinners for people who might otherwise go without.

“It’s going to be right here on Thanksgiving, Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and we’re going to serve our traditional Thanksgiving meal; turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, roll and pumpkin pie,” Bill said. [ more feed page 2 ]

What unites the members of this six-year-old organization is that none can keep still when need rages in the community. Its yearly calendar starts in May with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Juvenile Diabetes Walk, continues with car washing and ends with a coat drive in December in the parking lot between the Valley Barber Shop and the Justice Center. Their job in the present push is to get the word out. Bill decided in 2012 after years of thinking about it that he wanted to host an annual Thanksgiv-

Problem was that neither he nor his brother knew anything about promoting an event. Luckily the restaurateurs and the Barbers Against Hunger knew each other. Athens Pizza and Pasta had in the past allowed the group to post fliers for its annual food drive there. The restaurant had also set aside one Sunday during the drive to donate 20 percent of its receipts to Barbers to support that group’s good works. “Last year was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing, it was a little hectic,” Bill said. “This year people

are kind of expecting it. Donations are coming in through the roof, meeting our expectations. Whatever we have left over we’re going to donate to the Auburn Food Bank so they can stock up their shelves for the holidays.” Alex Green, an Air Force veteran, a carpenter and a member of Barbers Against Hunger, recently explained the hopes of everyone concerned. “We’d like to grow this thing until it’s too big for the Athens Pizza shop,” Green said.

The race for Pacific City Council Position No. 2 tightened as of Tuesday, with incumbent Councilmember John Jones maintaining a slim 28-vote lead with 459 votes (51.57 percent) to challenger Brice Erickson’s 431 (48.43 percent). In the Council Position No. 4 contest, Vic Kave leads Leanne Guier by 57 votes, with 476 (53.18 percent) to 419 votes (46.82).

Guier, who was unable to pull out of the race after being appointed mayor, has said that if she were to win the election, she wouldn’t take the position but would instead defer to the City Council to appoint a councilmember for Position No. 4. Appointed Councilmember Katie Garberding holds that seat. The No. 2 and No. 4 races could be subject to mandatory recounts if they remain close. Washington State law mandates a hand recount

when final results – which will be certified on Nov. 26 – are less than 150 votes and also less than one-quarter of 1 percent. In Pacific’s two other council races, Council President Tren Walker will retain his Position No. 7 seat with 572 votes (67.93 percent) to Ronnie M. Harris’ 270 votes (32.07). In the Position No 5 race first-time candidate Stacy May Knudtson is beating her opponent Gary Nitschke 571 votes (61.05 percent) to 349 votes (38.95 percent).

Northwest Harvest appoints COO Eu-wanda Eagans recently joined Kent-based Northwest Harvest as its chief operating officer. Eagans, who lives in the Auburn area, has an extensive background in operations and program management through years of experience in manufacturing and engineering. Her work experience includes companies such as Energizer Battery Co. and General Motors Corp., as well as Washington State government. “I am very excited about being a part of the Northwest Harvest team,” Eagans said. “I have a strong desire to make a positive impact on hunger in this state, and the opportunity to work for Northwest Harvest has been a dream come true for me.”

Auburn Junior City Council takes shape By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Appointments to the various boards and commissions that serve the City of Auburn often glide by unnoticed, unheralded, a routine part of business. Not so the eight appointments made Monday night in the Auburn City Council Chambers: Sydney Campbell; Tyler Cushing; Anton Mahoney; Dalton Hands; Alison Hand; Mauricio Martinez-Torres; Mary Riel; and Olivia Thomas. And what makes these particular names so special? Well, the first seven students within the Auburn School District ever appointed to the Auburn Junior City Council happen

to answer to them. And there has never been such a thing as the Auburn Junior Council in the City’s history. The City formed the junior council, made this round of students from all high schools within the district, two middle schools and one home-schooler, to keep the Auburn City Council up to date on kidrelated matters, from the youth curfew to gang issues and beyond. Cascade Middle School’s Dalton Hands, sharp in a black suit only slightly oversized, and speaking with a poise way beyond his years, gave a sample of what Auburn residents may expect from members of their new

Junior City Council. “I wanted to talk mainly about our teens today and how we can get them off the streets and back into work,” said Hands, addressing the City Council. “I think if we provided more academic and after-school activities instead of just letting the children out of school, then I think we could get more of them into ideas like Auburn Junior City Council and maybe some sports, and just all around keep kids off of the streets and help them get their grades up.” Mayor Pete Lewis said the Junior City Council is not a feel-good gimmick. “This is not something that is just going to be cute – we really expect a body

Auburn ranks No. 7 among tech-savvy digital cities in the nation for its size, according to a new survey. e.Republic’s Center for Digital Government and the Digital Communities Program announced this week the top-ranked cities in the 2013 Digital Cities Survey. In the category of citizen engagement, policy, operations and technology/data of cities of less than 75,000 population, Auburn made the top 10 based on the strength of its use of technology in several key areas, including: • Access to free and public Wi-Fi for citizens • Fleet management with automatic vehicle locators and mapping capability • Use of QR codes to promote tourism and interactivity on Cityowned property • GIS and asset management • Mobile data collection for street condition analysis

count, “Beasley fell down and crawled toward a bush, crouched down.” The suspect then stopped at the bush and, from less than 3 feet away, according to the account, fired into Beasley’s upper back one shot that exited at the front of his throat. According to the account, Beasley then got up and ran off with the suspect in pursuit. About 30 feet on, according to the account, the suspect found Mora hiding in some bushes and fired at least one shot into his chest, collapsing his lung.

According to the account, the suspect started to drive slowly down the ramp but stopped at the exit when he noticed that Beasley and Mora were still following him.

these years.” – Bill Contoravdis, co-owner of Athens Pizza and Pasta, on serving up free Thanksgiving dinners to those in need on Nov. 28.

The call no parent wants to hear Seven years ago, I sped across the I-90 Bridge to Harborview Medical Center. As I did, I begged for God to take my life, “Take Me instead. Not Her!” Just 15 minutes before my drive across the bridge, my wife Mary Beth and I had received the phone call that every parent dreads. Our 17-year-old daughter, Mora, was in the ER at Harborview. All we knew was that she had been in a terrible car accident and that her condition was critical. Like any parent, I bargained and begged aloud for God to spare the life of my child. Since then, I’ve told our story about drowsy driving – over and over again. And I will continue to do so until people take drowsy driving more seriously. That frantic trip across I-90 was just one of the moments from that harrowing time that is seared into my psyche. There are other memories of terrible moments like that that stay with me and continue to push my family and I to carry on in our mission to talk about the dangers of of drowsy driving: • The sadness in the doctor’s eyes three days later as she took my wife and I over to a private corner after the morning consult was over. She told us that the trauma team was very disheartened. After being in a coma for three days, Mora’s brain was not showing any signs of response, and they were losing hope of her recovery or survival. • The devastation in my wife’s eyes as we approached our family in the trauma ICU waiting room. When we said it looked like Mora would not make it, our family closed around us in an elemental circle of love and shared anguish. Defiantly, my mother said, “Well, we’ll just have to pray even harder.” • The disbelief and anger we felt when we were told by the Washington State Patrol trooper that the driver of the car Mora was a passenger in had been awake for more than 20 hours before she got behind the wheel.

A veteran’s full story never told My family have been residents of Auburn since 1943. I watched my first veterans parade sometime in the late ‘40s, perched on my father’s shoulders. Even then it brought a lump to my throat to see the uniformed men from both World Wars march down Main Street with the flags waving and bands playing. I am now a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War, yet the same thing happens, all these years later, as I stand, sometimes in the same place, watching the parade, often with a grandchild on my shoulders. I have been pleased with the effort this city has consistently made to honor veterans of all the conflicts in which our nation has been involved.

I awaited both with great anticipation. I attended the Tuesday evening presentation by Ed Saylor,

a participant in the Doolittle Raid, and came away so grateful for having had the privilege of hearing the personal story of this valiant and humble veteran. Saturday evening I returned to the Auburn Avenue Theater with a full expectation of having a similar experience from hearing John Woolston, a survivor of the Indianapolis sinking. In this I was sadly disappointed. As that program began, a woman, who neither introduced herself nor the organization she represented, stood and took the microphone. I expected that she would follow the same format Mr. Fioretti had used at the Tuesday presentation by giving us some preliminary information, then introducing the guest of honor and allowing him to tell his story.

[6] November 22, 2013 [ SHAW from page 5 ] That she fell asleep while driving over Blewett Pass. • Or Mora’s first words over a month later ... whispered in pain and agony, trapped in a full-body cast and with an injured brain: “I hate this.” Or six months later, when, as an 18-year-old woman, she took her first baby step without a wheelchair, crutches or a scooter, knowing she would need multiple surgeries on her ankle for years to come. We cannot give Mora back the years that were taken away from

www.auburn-reporter.com her, or the pain that she continues to deal with. But we can try to spare others from suffering terrible, life-changing injuries like hers. And to prevent more easilyavoidable deaths from drowsy driving. Half of our mission is to promote drowsy driving awareness and prevention through education. In print, online and on television, we have warned about the dangers of drowsy driving. We have shouted about it from the rooftops and in our state Legislature’s House Judiciary

Committee. But prevention and education go only half way. For, as with drunk driving 40 years ago and wearing seat belts 20 years ago, perceptions about and laws and penalties against drowsy driving need to be changed.

Let’s get tougher If a person gets behind the wheel of a car who has not slept for 20-24 hours and causes an injury or death, there should be serious consequences to their actions and added teeth to the

current reckless driving laws. Before others are injured or killed by drowsy drivers, we urge our legislators to seriously look at tougher penalties and fines when a driver causes injury or death after falling asleep behind the wheel of a car. Mora has miraculously defied all the medical odds and is living her amazing life. But others have not been so “lucky.” If one person getting behind the wheel of a car thought first and took a nap, Mora’s life and many others like her would have been different. Others lives would

have been saved. Seven years later, as our governor proclaimed Nov. 11-17 Washington State Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, the Shaw family will continue to make noise about drowsy driving and its consequences. And we will never forget. William Shaw is regional publisher of the Bellevue Reporter, IssaquahSammamish Reporter, Mercer Island Reporter and Snoqualmie Valley Record.

secondhand, and I’m sorry to say, second-rate version of the story … when it was not hers to give. Equally disturbing was the fact that her deportment through it all was as though she, and not him, was the celebrity of the evening. After 45 minutes of listening to her, and with her showing no sign of tiring, I could endure it no longer. I got up and left. My disap-

instead began relating the story of the Indianapolis herself. I supposed that she would simply give a cursory summarization and then defer to Mr. Woolston, the man whom we had all come to hear. Instead she continued, in great detail, even using a carefully arranged slide presentation, to give her own full,

Thanksgiving My son Josh says Thanksgiving’s his favorite holiday. I can’t argue, I like it too, like The camaraderie it creates. Think Way back when I was a kid, FDR Fastened it down as a National Holiday. There’s always family, Friends and unexpected guests Providing a memorable zest My friend Father Godley says Dinner with friends is a sacrament. I believe that.

pointment mounted with each step as I walked back to my car for I knew that at some point she would probably relent and allow Mr. Woolston, who had been rescued from the jaws of sharks, to step forward and rescue the audience from her. In this I certainly came away the loser, for to hear the story, and look into the face of a veteran as he tells it is an experience to be treasured. On that night I did not get that experience. This woman, by inserting herself into the program, robbed us of the benefit of hearing the personal account exclusively from the man who had lived it. As good as it may have been, it was nevertheless to be unnecessarily tainted by a woman who lacked the grace to honor a true veteran by allowing the evening to be his and his alone. Shame on her. And shame on whatever organization sponsored that program if such insensitivity and poor taste is allowed to continue. – John Holliday

City debates red light photo-enforcement service Seven seconds of silence broken by the shuffling of papers followed. One of Osborne’s objections was that the City of Auburn shouldn’t “be tied up” with such a long contract. “I don’t think we’re getting out of it what we thought we were originally getting out of it,” Osborne said of the program. “If you look at it, the reduction in citations has gone down every year significantly. So if we continue with that same trend, we’re going to be down to almost zero citations at the end of the 10year period.” “Because it would be a horrible thing to be down

...obituaries Retired Auburn Police Captain Raymond E Sherman, Sr. passed away on November 17, 2013 at the age of 70. Born in Colcord, OK on Christmas Day, 1942, Ray was the oldest of 16 children born to Harold and Doris Faye Sherman. When he was seven years old, the family moved to Clatskanie, OR, where Ray attended school, excelling in baseball and basketball. After graduating from Clatskanie High School in 1960, he joined the US Air Force and was stationed in Okinawa, Japan for several years training guard dogs for the military. Married to Linda Engelhart for 35 years, they raised three children, Sherri, Ray, Jr and Robert. Ray began his 32 year career in Law Enforcement in Shelton, WA and joined the Auburn Police Department in 1969. He spent 28 years there, rising through the ranks from patrolman to captain, and in 1991 was one of the first APD officers to complete an 11-week law enforcement training course at the FBI Academy in Quantico,VA. After retiring from the Auburn Police Department in 1997, Ray began a second career at Emerald Downs Racetrack, serving as Director of Security for 13 years. He also spent more than 10 years as a part-time court officer and Sergeant with the Pacific Police Department’s Corrections Department. A member of the Auburn Noon Lions for more than 25 years, Ray served as president in 1992, and received the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award, the highest honor Lions International bestows, for his many years of community service and involvement. An avid outdoorsman, Ray loved hunting and fishing and enjoyed every minute spent in the woods with his son, Ray, Jr, son-in-law, Donnie and so many other hunting companions. Preceded in death by his parents, as well as his beloved canine companion, Lucky, Ray leaves behind his wife and partner of more than 13 years, Kathleen; three children Sherri (Donnie) Adcox, Raymond Jr and Robert; stepdaughter Brittany Hermansen; six beloved grandchildren Jenette, Jessica, Megan, Marcus, Matthew and Hailey; plus two very special great-grandchildren Jackson and Abbie. He also is survived by 15 brothers and sisters, faithful companions Buddy and Cooper and too many loyal friends and colleagues to mention. Services are scheduled at 2 pm on Saturday, November 23, at Messiah Lutheran Church in Auburn, with inurnment to follow at a later date at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent. 928625

Margaret Irene Thorp

We said our final goodbyes to our beloved mother, Margaret, on the afternoon of November 10th. Mom was born July 12, 1922 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Fred and Lillian Towner, but since 1925 had lived in Auburn,WA. She and our dad, Bill, enjoyed 70 years together until his death this past June. Mom was raised with her two sisters, Kathrine Hansen and Winnie Dinwiddie, and brother Mac Towner, all of whom survive her in Auburn. They were a lively, loving group, those Towner kids, and they all remained close as adults, even living within a few houses of one another for many of those years, along with Grandma Lil and Grandpa Fred. What a delight it was for all of us kids – growing up with a constant stream of family birthday parties, gatherings around our old oak dining table, or just popping in and out of one another’s homes to chat. We were very lucky. Mom spent her early married years as a homemaker, raising her three children: Julie (Darrel) Peeples, Bonnie Kavanaugh (Eric), and Jay (Peggy) Thorp. Later, she managed the local Peckenpaugh Hallmark store, which gave her a great creative outlet and where she made so many friends. Mom was a fabulous cook (even won a TV cooking show contest in the 50’s!), seamstress (made many of our clothes as we were growing up), and loved to garden. She also enjoyed her bridge club and was a founding member of the Dr. Frank D. Merritt Children’s Orthopedic Hospital Guild. Mom so loved her good friends and neighbors, especially Fran Calkins and Ruth Leslie, with whom she shared many happy, memorable times. Mom and Dad both shared a love of their La Conner cabin where they spent many of their retirement days. Mom drew much pleasure from looking out upon the bay, the trees, the flowers, and the many birds she fed at her feeders and marveled at the beauty of it all. Even though her last years were dimmed by dementia, she never lost that sense of wonder for the beauty in nature, her quirky sense of humor, her appreciation for the smallest of kindnesses, or her love for her family. Her heart was full when she left us – and so are ours. Thanks, Mom. Mom is survived by her siblings, her children, seven grandchildren: Andy (Tesilya) and Colin (Clayann) Peeples, Brynn (Jenn) and Sam (Sheila) Kavanaugh, Jenny (Ron), Matt (Ariel), and Margo (Blake) Thorp and five great-grandchildren: Jessica, Jaden, Noah, James, and Elyse. Please join us in celebrating Mom’s life on Tuesday December 3, from 1-3 PM at Wesley Homes Lea Hill 32049 109th Pl. SE Auburn, WA. 000000

the City for its expenses; and for all infractions to be filed with King County District Court. King County District Court, Coleman said, has a much better infraction collection rate than Redflex. The proposed contract length is six years, with two two-year extensions subject to City review and refusal. “We are confident that this is a contract that would be beneficial to the City,” Coleman concluded. Councilman Wayne Osborne could not agree. “I’ll be honest with you, I’m in favor of doing away with Redflex,” Osborne said.

Auburn’s red light photoenforcement program has worked so well at slicing the number of traffic violations in the seven years that have elapsed since it began that today it is running at a deficit. That is, with the number of citations dropping every year, the program now costs the City more to operate than it brings in. In 2012, the City spent $180,000 on administrative costs. Partly because of that new reality, members of Auburn’s Municipal Services Committee have been busy studying

various contract proposals with Redflex Traffic Systems of Arizona, which owns and operates all of the red-light photo enforcement and school-zone cameras. The current contract expires on May 31, 2014. City leaders at one time had considered putting a request for proposals out to rival vendors, but they abandoned that idea after getting a look at how much staff time it would eat up. According to Chief Financial Officer Shelley Coleman, Auburn recently asked for, and Redflex agreed to, the following: a cost-neutral contract: funds to compensate

zero, the administrative costs drop way down, too. Osborne then questioned why the City had cameras in school zones that are bus-only schools, citing “the Jacobsen Farm Road on 132nd”, where “it’s fully walk-to-school. Why are we giving citizens citations in school zones where there are no walking students?” It was the Auburn School District, Lewis answered, that had asked for cameras on the routes cited by Osborne. And the district, Lewis continued, made some adjustments on those routes in the last school year that have since dropped the number of complaints significantly. “And it isn’t bus only. There are kids walking around there at particular times, and the school PTAs were also involved in those discussions. … They are still concerned with safety in those areas. That’s why the cameras are there.” Osborne argued that intersections showing only 46 violations in a three-month period clearly didn’t need the cameras any longer.

House of Representatives

2013 Session Report

31ST District

State Representative

Cathy

DAHLQUIST

DEAR NEIGHBOR,

WE WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR ALL THE POSITIVE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED AFTER OUR LAST NEWSLETTER. PEOPLE WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES WORKING TOGETHER. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A BETTER WAY OF DOING BUSINESS IN AMERICAN POLITICS. AS YOUR 31ST DISTRICT LEGISLATIVE TEAM IN THE STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IT IS OUR HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT YOU AND CARRY YOUR VOICE AND VIEWS IN THE LEGISLATURE. WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING COMMON GROUND ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO YOU AND OUR STATE. IT’S IMPORTANT WE HEAR FROM YOU AND HAVE PROVIDED OUR CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WE CAN HELP YOU WITH, OR AN IDEA, PLEASE SHARE IT WITH US.

Our local economy As we continue to, ever so slowly, recover from the Great Recession, it’s important that we recognize our personal responsibility and opportunities for improving our local economy. We need manufacturing jobs to return home to America from China. We can help that process by buying things made in America whenever possible. The exporting and off-shoring of American jobs in recent decades has led to a catastrophic decline in American manufacturing. Those jobs are starting to come back home because American consumers now realize our economic security depends on it. Equally important is shopping locally whenever possible. Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. As your two state representatives, we receive many calls from local businesses that need help from Olympia. Several years ago, Alan Gamblin of Gamblin Chevrolet in Enumclaw called us with a problem in a state law that needed to be changed to help out Washington state’s auto industry. We made that change and helped

keep car dealerships in the 31st District from going out of business when our economy was at its worst. Earlier this year, we were contacted by Chris Lyons, one of the owners of the new Carbon Glacier Distillery in Wilkeson. It is great to see entrepreneurs and small businesses starting up again in our local towns. Chris needed some help on a state law that would make his local business more competitive with larger out-of-state and foreign companies that ship products here.

We were able to change the law to keep small businesses like his in our local towns. This will, in turn, bring more money into our local communities and create more jobs. We are

pleased this legislation, House Bill 1149, passed with unanimous support in the House and that there were only ﬁve no votes in the Senate. In recent years, we led the effort in the Legislature to reform our unemployment and workers’ compensation programs to keep large rate increases from taking place during tough economic times. Without this legislation we would have lost many jobs at a time we could least afford it. Our most important job in Olympia is listening to and working with citizens and small-business owners. Quite frankly, that is where we get all our good ideas. On November 5, the governor called a special session in the Legislature to respond to a proposal from the Boeing Company to consider a deal that could guarantee the production of the next generation of passenger aircraft, the 777X, is built in Washington state. The 31st District is heavily-dependent

on jobs in the aerospace industry. Engineering and aerospace machinist jobs at Boeing provide the livelihood for many of our friends and neighbors. Additionally, for every job at Boeing, ﬁve more jobs are created at companies that contract with the aerospace business. In 2012, aerospace revenues in Washington state totaled $51.2 billion. Securing production of the 777X in Washington state would ensure tens of thousands of additional high paying aerospace jobs for generations to come. Although there are still issues to be worked out between Boeing and its unions, both of those parties made it clear that the Legislature had to act quickly. By Saturday, November 9, we enacted legislation to provide the business environment necessary to keep Boeing manufacturing of commercial aircraft here in Washington state. We also passed a bill that made major investments in our education system that will help train the next generation of workers in the aerospace industry.

In conclusion

The government shutdown in Washington, D.C. shows what happens when the partisan divide becomes so great that elected ofﬁcials forget who they are representing. Like we said last time, we believe there is a better way. We appreciate all the kind comments we received after our last newsletter. Whether its passing legislation to help a brand new business in Wilkeson or a car dealership in Enumclaw, or negotiating a new deal with the Boeing Company to keep aerospace manufacturing in Washington state; jobs, the economy and the education of our future workforce are our top priorities.

You’ve probably heard expressions like “60 is the new 40.” The truth is actually that anyone can be 68 going on 50. All you need is a motivational mindset. Then you, too, can start counting the calendar backwards at each birthday. Beyond good diet and exercise – which are critical for anyone at any age – getting motivated is the key to aging well. Here are five ways to adopt a motivational mindset, launch your own age rollback and engage the world at any age: 1. Change your WOE to WOW ratio. There’s nothing more de-motivating than living in a world of WOE (What On Earth). The world of WOE is dark and consists largely of finding fault and blame. WOE is like a leech that sucks the life spirit out of you. Its opposite, WOW (which means Wonderfully Obsessed with Winning)

infuses every moment with excitement about the world. WOW is that frame of mind that motivates you to fully embrace whatever you’re doing. No, you can’t get rid of WOE — it’s part of the human condition. But you can choose to minimize the presence of WOE and focus on WOW; the key is to become more aware of WOE’s presence and to consciously opt for WOW. Try it. Set a goal to focus on WOW for 15 minutes as you start your day. 2. Get curious. Many studies have shown that the more you flex your mind as you age, the healthier your mind will be. In addition to engaging in brain-cell building activities like puzzles, ask questions about how things work and why things are. Nothing motivates like a good question. Find a headline story each day that you want to learn more about. Find a topic each week that you want to research through books or

by using online resources. Adopt the curiosity of a child. The more new things you learn, the more you’ll be motivated to discover new areas of interest. 3. Invest in the moment. It’s so easy to look back with regrets or nostalgia that we forget to see the joy of what’s happening in the present. Ditto for spending time gazing into the future with apprehension or fear. Try an experiment: every day, spend five minutes focusing on the here and now, and allow yourself to feel totally invested in whatever you’re doing, whether it’s work or play. Be conscious that you’re in the moment. 4. Let go and take a higher perspective. When you were younger, you were probably in the mode of striving for more – more money, more status, more security or more attention. More anything. As you age, that pressure starts to diminish. But if you’re like most of us,

you still likely cling to the notion that you’re in some kind of a race that you must win. Let it go. When you stop competing against others, you’ll be motivated to appreciate those things that really matter and you probably already have. 5. Do things that put you in a good mood. Good moods don’t just happen. They come about from doing things that make us feel happy, things that we enjoy. When we were younger, it was easy to feel good because we weren’t shy about letting our hair down and having fun. You can recapture that habit now. Incorporate at least one thing a day into your routine that puts you in a good mood whether it’s taking a walk, completing a puzzle, or pulling out a board game or a deck of cards with friends. When you’re feeling good, you’ll likely be more motivated to try new things.

Kessler caps prep career with 4A title

Lions fall to Bellevue 2-1 in state tourney By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Hailey Kessler was golden this past weekend. Competing in her second Washington State Girls Swimming and Diving Championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, the Auburn senior captured the Class 4A diving title – posting a 387.30-point total to edge Skyline senior Erin Taylor, who had 373.40 points. “She probably wasn’t the best athlete or diver out there, but she was by far the best competitor,” said Trojans diving coach James Southerland. “She pulled it out when she needed to.” Not bad for someone who has only been diving for three years. Kessler first took to the 1-meter springboard as a sophomore. “I started as a swimmer, and when I found out they needed divers, I thought I’d give it a try,” Kessler said “I thought it would be fun, and I’d done dance and gymnastics for a few years, so I knew how to point my toes.” Kessler said most of her sophomore year was spent just picking up the basics. “At the beginning it was pretty easy,” she said. “I finished the year 12th at districts. I was very happy with that at the time.”

Hailey Kessler, in the air above the pool at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Kessler, an Auburn senior, is the state 4A diving champion. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter Coming into her junior year, however, Kessler said she got serious about her training. “Last year I had to start learning real dives and how to execute them correctly,” she said. She joined the Southerlandcoached Pacific Northwest Diving

club team and ratcheted up her training. The hard work paid off at last year’s state meet in an eighth-place finish with 309.10 points. The finish inspired her to step up even more. “After last season I started diving [ more diver page 12 ]

For a few minutes Auburn Mountainview girls soccer coach Cary Davidson dared to believe. After tying up the score at 1-1 in the second round of the state Class 3A tournament contest against powerhouse Bellevue (16-3) Saturday, the Lions (17-4) seemed poised to send the game into a shootout. “It was going our way,” Davidson said. “We had the ball most of the time in the last few minutes. Things were looking good. And there is no question we would have beat them in [a shootout]. Our keepers are much better, and goalkeeper is Bellevue’s weakest spot. “Then she (Bellevue senior Clarice Bruch) hit a one-in-a-million shot,” he continued. “It went in the upper corner of the goal, the only place Rachel (Fieser) couldn’t reach it. It was shocking, unbelievable. It was like slow motion, like the end of a movie.” Although the loss ended Auburn Mountainview’s season, Davidson said he was proud of the way his team battled.

Lions exit early at state 3A tourney By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

[ soccer from page 11 ] “Bellevue is a good team, they’ve got a couple of national team players and they’re just highly skilled,” Davidson said. “But like every game we’ve been in this year, we just worked. We weren’t about to quit. (The team) worked and worked and held them scoreless until 25 minutes left in the game.” Bellevue’s Isabelle Butterfield notched the Wolverines first goal of the game at the 55 minute mark. The Lions responded when senior Sophia Wagner tied the game up at 1-1 with four minutes left in the match. Auburn Mountainview’s appearance was the team’s third state tourney appearance, and the first time the

team has made it past the first round. Auburn Mountainview converted all five penalty kicks to beat Shorecrest in a shootout, 1-0, in a first-round state match at Auburn Memorial Stadium on Nov. 13. Delene Colburn, Kellcy Emory, Emilee Greve, Madi Clarkson and Sophie Wagner made penalty kicks for the Lions, who won their first state match in school history. The loss eliminated the five-time state champion Scots. “We had a great season,” Davidson said of this year’s squad. “We won the SPSL 3A convincingly. The only teams we lost to this year were all ranked teams. We had 17 wins. The most we’ve ever had before was 13. It was an outstanding year.”

Auburn Mountainview ended its season Friday with a two-match appearance at the state Class 3A volleyball tournament at St. Martin’s University in Lacey. The Lions (21-7) opened up the tourney with a 3-1 loss to Shadle Park (23-6). Game scores were 25-22, 25-19, 26-28 and 25-19. In the consolation bracket at Timberline High School, the Lions lost 3-1 to Kennedy Catholic (22-7). Game scores were 25-23, 25-21, 24-26 and 25-22. “It was hard not finish-

[ diver from page 11] four days a week and practiced all summer,” Kessler said. “Coming into this season I felt a lot more confident about where I’d be at the end of the year and about my diving abilities in general.” During the regular season Kessler swept through the South Puget Sound League North 4A and punched her ticket to state with a first-place finish at

ing as high as we could have finished, but the reality is that in the finals you can’t get away with not bringing 110 percent,” coach Nicole Claudon said. “Maybe it was nerves, maybe it was just an off day, but I know that if we played those teams again, the outcome would be different.” Claudon continued: “I’m proud of the girls for their hard work all year long, and how we finished doesn’t take away any of that,” she said. “They deserved to be there, and I hope they can remember that it was a great run! As a player, I experienced what they

went through – losing out on the first day of state. As a coach, I felt a little bit of what parents probably feel, wanting to protect the seniors from that feeling. It was hard to see them go through that, but I know the younger girls now understand the sense of urgency they need to have at the State tournament. We’re going to miss our six seniors, but we’re already planning for next year.” The state appearance was the ninth straight for the Auburn Mountainview program. The Lions won the South Puget Sound League 3A title this season.

districts. During the two-week break between districts and the state meet, Kessler said she ramped up her training even further, adding a difficult reverse one-and-a-half twist dive to her repertoire. “The key is the takeoff, if you don’t get a good takeoff it’s hard to make,” she said. Kessler credits her gymnastics experience with helping her nail the dive. “I think it was very crucial,” she said. “It gave me body awareness, and

it taught me where I am spatially when I’m in the air and flipping. It all contributed.” Southerland said he figured Kessler would do well at the state meet, pegging her among the top three or four divers in the competition. “I put her in the top group, as one of the ones that could win it” he said. “She just kept her attitude, and I think it was her attitude that won it for her.” Kessler, who is a Running Start student at Green

Lions, Ravens place in state water polo The Auburn Mountainview boys water polo squad earned a sixth-place finish at this past weekend’s state tournament at the Curtis Aquatic Center. The Lions defeated Puyallup 8-6 for sixth place. All told, Auburn Mountainview went 3-1 at the tourney, opening with a 14-8 win over Enumclaw before being relegated to the consolation bracket after a 7-2 loss to Roosevelt. An 8-7 win against Bainbridge Island earned the Lions a shot at sixth. Also placing at the tourney was Auburn Riverside, which beat Lakes 11-1 to take home ninth-place. River Community College and hopes to dive collegiately while pursuing a degree in nutrition and exercise science, credits her work with Southerland for her success. “He’s one of the best coaches I’ve had in any of the sports I’ve done,” Kessler said. “He always believed in me and he keeps me positive and on the right track. I would have done miserable without him.”
