Community center draws closer to reality July 7 is target date to begin construction By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

This is the year that the Auburn Community Center in Les Gove Park starts to be a concrete, wood, stone and glass reality. That is the expectation voiced Monday night by City Council-

man Rich Wagner, the man who knows most about the longenvisioned community gathering spot. “The target date for construction to start is July 7 … And if we are able to start then, it would be completed in May of 2015,” said Wagner, chair of the Les Gove Community Campus Committee and the center’s unstinting champion for the last five years. The City put the $12 million

project out to bid four years ago, shelved it when the economy hit the skids and is taking it down. From then to now, Wagner said, not much has changed respecting the design and drawings: plans still call for a one-story, 20,100-square-foot building where the YMCA building once stood adjacent to the park, to include: [ more CENTER page 7 ]

King County reviewing 3 sites for new south end recycling and transfer station By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII championship wear awaits customers at Auburn’s Sports Authority on Sunday. Merchandise went on sale immediately after the Seahawks’ 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

Hawk fans flock to pick up gear Minutes after the Seattle Seahawks’ impressive 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl, local 12th Man fans flocked to the Auburn Sports Authority store to stock up on officially licensed champions gear. According to Sports Authority employees, the store had been sitting on boxes of hats, T-shirts,

sweatshirts, cups, pennants and other items for the previous three days in anticipation of a Seahawks’ victory. At the Auburn store, hundreds of fans stood in line in the chill for a shot to be the first to get their Seahawks-emblazoned championship gear. A larger selection of merchandise is expected to flood stores in the coming days. – Shawn Skager

Joe Citizen’s chance to say where King County should build its $80 million south end recycling and transfer station ended Feb. 3. As to the county’s environmental review of the three sites under consideration – at 901 C St. SW in Auburn, east of The Outlet Collection, 28721 West Valley Highway. S., in Auburn, or at 35101 West Valley Highway S., in Algona – that goes on. “We received a lot of comments fairly late in the public comment period, and we’re compiling those comments, developing answers to questions that were asked,” said Doug Williams, media relations coordinator for King County. “We’re hoping to get this all wrapped up within a month. We expect a final recommendation on the

overall transfer station plan to go to the county council in early March.” After the County decided in 2011 that the Algona station, among many others, was outmoded and needed to be replaced, its solid waste division began scouting the south end for land. The 15-acre site at 28721 W. Valley Highway emerged in the fall of 2012 as the county’s surprise, preferred alternative, much to the distress of West Hill residents, who came out strongly against a transfer station below them. Citing numerous reasons, including the truck traffic it would add to already burdened streets, the Auburn City Council declared in May 2013 that it did not want the transfer station anywhere inside city limits. The transfer and waste management plan is one part of the county’s overall

By February 11th VOTE

effort to update its solid waste management plan. “We’re in the final leg of our long effort to update our overall solid waste management plan,” Williams said. “This work includes updating our transfer station planning documents, which will help

inform any decisions about moving forward with any transfer station replacements and upgrades well into the future.” The plan may be viewed at http://your.kingcounty. gov/solidwaste/about/planning/comp-plan.asp.

The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win Sunday spurred a few thoughts in my mass of cobwebs. One was that I remember every Super Bowl, from Super Bowl I to Super Bowl XLVIII. That darn time keeps moving, in Roman numerals. I watched the first one with my dad when Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. Sunday with my son, I watched the Seahawks steamroll the Denver Broncos. It was a good day. It was fitting that Broadway Joe Namath flipped the coin at the opening of the game. I remember Namath beating the Colts and how torn I was to see a young, curly-haired quarterback take apart a team quarterbacked by Earl Morrall, with Johnny Unitas on the bench because of an injury. As a kid I was a big Johnny U fan, but I knew the Jets’ coach Weeb Ewbank, had the Colts and coach Don Shula figured out. Ewbank had one other ace – youth. A young Namath with a gun for an arm who was ready to unseat the champion. Namath knew that when you are in the ring, you can’t tie the champion, you knock him out. The Seahawks proved again that football is a young man’s game. Peyton Manning’s Roman numeral age showed and Russell Wilson’s youth did as well. Young legs and arms often spell victory, just as they did in 1969. The Seahawks captivates the young people around me in the office. The young women get all fan nuts over Russell Wilson. I think it is because he has curly hair just like Broadway Joe. I understand that some men are a bit delusional about their hair, or more directly, lack of hair. I try to be extra sensitive about this subject because I am known as Mr. Sweet and Sensitive. Many men are a little jealous of my mop of curly follicles (it takes a lot of product for me to keep it under control). [ more BOX page 7 ]

Let’s be clear; tech levy makes sense Election day is around the corner and like many of you, I read the voter’s guide to find out details on what I will be voting on. Reviewing the voter’s guide left me dismayed because of the falsehoods in the statement against the technology levy. The claim that the district allowed union officials to divert monies is completely false. This is not a new tax but is a renewal. It is not about teacher salaries, but a targeted capital project’s campaign to enhance and expand technology across the district for all students. Auburn has proven time and time again their financial prudence in managing their finances. This is how we can vote to renew a levy and see no increased tax rates. Districtwide, student success is up, and our students are achieving comparable, and in many cases better, test results than more affluent districts.

Mr. Peloza is a good man and a highly visible active member and leader of several civic groups of Auburn. He’s a tireless gogetter and very much aware and involved in the improvements of our community. I don’t know how a deputy mayor of our town is chosen from among the councilmembers. But I think Peloza should have been the one chosen for the position for the reasons that I’ve enumerated above. He would have been the ideal one as deputy mayor of Auburn.

Evaluation system broken Are evaluations ever going to be done in a timely manner so that inmates will not have to wait days and months? This is a serious problem in the court system.

On Jan. 30, 2014, Lynn Moberly from Mercer Island Municipal Court informed my that my son’s evaluation will be done on Jan. 31 or Feb. 3. Moberly told me to have “faith;” however, the evaluation never took place. My son is disabled with autism, Asperger’s syndrome, schizophrenia and neurological problems. Jail is not the right place for him. His public defender never has seen a case like this. My son hasn’t been convicted of a crime.

Co-management took giant steps forward. In 1984 the tribes and state started the annual joint season-setting process called North of Falcon. In 1985 the tribes and state worked together to develop the Pacific Salmon Treaty that governs shared U.S. and Canadian salmon fisheries. In 1986 came the Timber/ Fish/Wildlife Agreement that provided protection for fish and wildlife on private timberlands while ensuring a healthy timber

industry. Next came the 1989 Centennial Accord that further cemented the government-togovernment relationship between the tribes and state. All of these accomplishments clearly show the great things that can be done when we choose to work together. We can’t afford to lose that. That doesn’t mean we agree on everything. We don’t. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can’t come to an agreement. The case of fish-blocking culverts is a good example. After many months of negotiations failed, the tribes were forced as a last resort in 2001 to file a lawsuit against the

City to look into downtown parking problems By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

More than a month after City workers on Jan. 1 painted 16 spots in the lot north of Safeway with the words, “Chase Bank 1 hour customer parking”, the situation there keeps on ginning up bad PR for the City of Auburn. On Monday night, Giovanni Di Quattro, owner of the Rainbow Cafe, dropped at the feet of the Auburn City Council frustrations that members of the Auburn High School classes of 1949, 1956 and 1964 had expressed to him. Rainbow regulars all, said Di Quattro. And they got to be that way because, like virtually all of Auburn’s older residents, they know where the venerable downtown eatery is, he said.

zoning Ordinance 14-1855 before approving it. The decision buys the City more time to figure out how to deal with I-502, which legalized recreational use of marijuana in Washington with 55 percent of the vote. “I voted for the initiative to legalize,” Councilmember Joshua Putnam said. “I believe it is the best solution from a public safety standpoint. That being said, my concern here is our requirement that businesses operate in accordance with federal law.” Putnam continued: “There are many businesses that we do not have local laws against or about,” he said. “We do not have a city ordinance against child pornography. We do not have a city ordinance against moonshining. We don’t have a city ordinance against drug manufac-

It’s the short term, and the “Some of them are using walkpotential loss of customers within ers, a lot of them are using canes,” that interval, that worries Di Di Quattro said. “One dear friend Quattro, who bought the restauI’ve known since the 1950s comes rant only last November. down from Everett, and he uses a “We know that Auburn needs cane, and he had to park quite a to grow.

turing. We rely on the provision that businesses must comply with state and federal law, so we don’t have to adopt all those state and municipal codes into our code and make it bigger than the federal code. It is a tricky situation for the City to be able to permit this violation of federal law without setting a precedence that requires us to license other violations of federal law. I happen to disagree with this federal law, but it is the law. As it stands now, I don’t see how we can exempt one type of business from federal law.” James Dusek – who plans to grow and process marijuana in Pacific under the name Downtown Cannabis Company – addressed the council before its vote and was disappointed by the decision. Dusek said he complied with the Washington State Liquor Control Board

(WSLCB) requirements, obtaining a lease before applying for his license and signing a five-year lease for a building in Pacific. He researched to make sure there were no moratorium or zoning restrictions in place that prevented him from opening. Dusek said he thought there was nothing standing in the way of opening a business when he applied for his license on Nov. 18. “If there was a moratorium or zoning ordinance in place in November 2013 when the 30-day window for licenses opened up, I would not have invested in this location,” he said. Dusek continued: “I assumed all was good, because they didn’t have any zoning restrictions,” he said. “Until last night (Monday).” Now, Dusek is looking at more than six months before he can start to work

around downtown, to get to the stores they need to get to, and to provide parking nearby,” Di Quattro said. Mayor Nancy Backus spoke to smooth ruffled feathers. “We are still looking at options for parking in that area,” Backus said. “It’s not a foregone conclusion that it’s going to stay the way it is. We’re still working on it.” Part of the complication, Backus added, is “the way the City owns” some of those properties. Some of the property, Backus said, “is considered a right of way, and you can’t lease out right-ofway properties… within that whole parcel where our property line is now. (The question is how) we could bring it all in perhaps as one parcel to better utilize that space. “

on recouping his $50,000 investment. “It’s going to take me four months after the six-month moratorium before I have anything to sell,” he said. “I’ve still got to grow the stuff.” Councilman Vic Kave voted for the ordinance in order to hold off legal challenges and buy the City more time to plan for potential marijuana businesses. But he was concerned about potential environmental and public safety impacts. “I voted for this 502 issue as well,” Kave said. “Just because I don’t use it doesn’t mean I think I have the right to discriminate against others for something I see as being just as harmful as alcohol, and alcohol is legal. Cigarette smoking is more harmful, and it’s been legal. We built this country on tobacco. The only reason I support

The City of Auburn in late December sold the spots to Chase Bank for the exclusive, one-hour use of bank customers. Until New Year’s Day, all of the spaces were free, three-hour parking slots for public use, and customers patronizing nearby businesses relied on them. City Economic Development Director Doug Lein told the Auburn Reporter recently that the City had a problem with the pending sale of a City-owned block, that Chase Bank had a problem that stood to cost it its parking and its tenancy, and that the new reality spray painted over those 16 parking spaces in the parking lot represents the solution to both problems. [ more PARKING page 11 ]

the six-month ordinance is so we can address concerns for the safety of the manufacturing process. If we can address the safety concerns, I fully support having some reasonable process for letting these businesses exist in the city.” According to Dusek, however, those issues were already addressed in the text of the I-502 bill. “I-502 is designed to bring those home grows that you are talking about in your community under one highly-regulated roof,” he said. Dusek pointed to SLCB’s stringent regulations on marijuana businesses, including criminal background checks, 24-hour video surveillance requirements and rigorous tracking of plants.

“You’ll notice it’s probably the highest regulated business in your city, with the most opportunity for income to the City,” Dusek told the council. “Many of your concerns are also my concerns.” Despite the setback, Dusek said he’s committed to continuing to work with the City to make his dream a reality. “I think they’re (the council) good people,” he said. “I just feel they haven’t read the rules for I-502, so they can be comfortable with the tight regulations on what my business has to do. It’s all spelled out in there, so it’s kind of a kneejerk reaction. I want to continue to work with the City to come to a mutual agreement.”

Lin Rebolini McJunkin’s Riparian Totem – a fused glass and steel sculpture – recently was installed near the Auburn Justice Center on East Main Street. McJunkin’s work was the People’s Choice Award winner from the Downtown Sculpture Gallery contest. Votes were collected to determine the award. The artwork was purchased and permanently sited adjacent to the center, adding to the City’s public art collection. As an artist and science educator, McJunkin uses the heat of her commitment, and that of her kilns and torches to sculpt recycled glass and metal into work that celebrates and advocates for the health of the planet and its inhabitants. The Green River Community College Foundation’s Interurban Center for the Arts (ICA) hosts its annual Painting with the Stars fundraising event Feb. 27. The ICA provides training, materials and support for arts education in local elementary schools. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Lindbloom Student Center on Green River’s main campus in Auburn. Tickets are $15 pre-purchased and $20 at the door. For additional information or to purchase tickets, call 253-288-3330.

Kent’s ShoWare Center lowers losses in 2013 By Steve Hunter

King County seeks YSFG applications Whether it’s a rowing center, baseball field or skate park in communities from Federal Way, Shoreline or North Bend, King County’s Youth Sports Facilities Grant Fund (YSFG) Program has helped build or renovate hundreds of public sports amenities at minimal taxpayer expense. The YSFG Program provides matching grant funds from $5,000 to $75,000. Past grants have been awarded for athletic fields, playgrounds, sport courts and other amenities including many in underserved communities where access to sports facilities is limited. The Parks and Recreation Division of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks is now accepting applications from quali-

fied groups that partner with a public agency, such as a school district or city parks department, to develop or renovate sports facilities. The program is funded and sustained through a quarter of 1 percent of car rental taxes. It also receives interest earnings from the YSFG endowment established by the sale of a county building. Since its inception, the YSFG Program has awarded $12 million in grant funds benefiting youth athletics in King County. Applications for King County YSFG Program grants will be accepted until June 20, with letters of intent due May 2. For an application packet, visit kingcounty.gov/recreation/parks/partners/ysfg.aspx.

they had to have the portion of the parking lot that the bank owned directly across A Street Southeast and used by bank employees. Auburn’s contract with Teutsch specified that if the City were to acquire the Chase property on the west side of A Street Southeast, Teutsch had the option to buy it from the City at a preset price. Turns out that the City had lever-

age to acquire that bit of property, and it used it. As property records show, the Chase Bank property on the east side of A Street Southeast had been developed over its north property line 40-plus years ago. That meant that Chase actually only owned half of the parking lot it believed it had owned all along. The real owner of the rest was the City of Auburn.

ShoWare Center revenue losses 2013: $370,874 2012: $707,541 2011: $487,855 2010: $427,119 2009: $480,851 Total: $2.47 million

“We feel good about bringing this number down, but from a budget perspective when we put this together historically this is what we know.” Board member Lew Sellers asked Higgins what it would take for the arena to break even this year. “Probably four or five shows similar to Florida Georgia Line with capacity sold-out shows,” Higgins said. In other words, shows with crowds of about 7,000. Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director who helps oversee ShoWare Center operations, said even with larger crowds, arenas no longer make as much money from concerts. “What’s working against us on that is post-recession, and what I’m learning from SMG and other sources is show revenue is down one-third from what it was before in terms of net revenue after expenses,” Wolters said. The ShoWare Center has had to cut its rent in order to attract some concerts and shows, Higgins said. A long Western Hockey League playoff run by the Seattle Thunderbirds this season

As the City informed the bank, the bank stood to lose 16 of its remaining parking spaces, half of its driveway – legally the driveway could no longer exist because it failed to meet state guidelines – and as a consequence, its occupancy permit. Faced by such stark realities, Chase Bank ceded that portion of the lot to the City. The City sold it

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502.

In lieu of those 16 spaces acquired by Teutsch Partners, the City gave Chase a permanent easement on those 16 troubled parking spaces next to the bank. And it sold the bank the 16 parking spots in the parking north of Safeway for $140,000, plus cash.

SHOWING THE WAY

Last year the ShoWare Center’s bottom line took its smallest hit last year since the arena opened in 2009. Kent’s city-owned arena still lost $370,874 in 2013, but that’a an improvement over the deficit of $707,541 in 2012 and losses of more than $400,000 in each of the first three years. “That’s our best year in five,” said Tim Higgins, ShoWare general manager, at a Jan. 30 meeting of the Public Facilities District board, which helps oversee operations of the $84.5 million arena. The arena had expenses of $2.57 million and income of $2.20 million in 2013, according to the ShoWare Center income statement. SMG, the company the city hired to operate the facility, estimated losses of $495,000 for last year. “We budget for what we know and what historically has happened,” Higgins said about the higher loss projection. “As the year progresses, through what we call hustling we’re able to find shows and make things happen.” The arena drew a record crowd of 7,129 for a Dec. 14 concert by the popular country duo Florida Georgia Line. It’s concerts like that that pump up the bottom line. Despite the stronger year in 2013, SMG projects a loss of $484,000 in 2014. “What we know going in is what we budget,” Higgins said.

also would boost revenue. SMG budgets for only the regular season T-Birds games, so any playoff home games mean more revenue. The TBirds have sold out (6,200 fans) two games so far this season. The City sets aside money each year to cover the anticipated losses at the arena, including $500,000 in the 2014 budget. If not needed for the arena, that money could be used to help pay for improvements to city streets, facilities and other capital projects. The arena also hosts a variety of community events, including 17 college and high school graduations scheduled for 2014. Higgins said the arena doesn’t make or lose money when it hosts a graduation. “There’s no question (that) the value of the facility to the community is far greater than the $370,000 loss,” Sellers said. “But when you look at the negative number, you wonder when it’s going to be zero.” Higgins said the sellout of the Florida Georgia Line concert has led more promoters to consider bringing shows to Kent. “We’re getting calls we didn’t receive before,” Higgins said. “I’ve always said success breeds success, and we’ve seen that every year. We get calls for holds, holds for dates. That doesn’t mean we get the show, but we’re getting recognized in the industry to hold dates for a tour. We haven’t seen that before. It’s a matter of time of getting recognized in this competitive market.”

Aerospace is critical to our state’s economy We faced our greatest challenge in decades last fall when Boeing announced their intent to move their production line of the next generation of commercial aircraft out of Washington state. This would have initiated a competitive bidding process between many states. The Governor called a special session of the Legislature last November and we passed legislation to help keep Boeing here in Washington. Rep. Hurst during House committee meeting.

The state operating budget The good news is that the state’s economy is growing. Our economic recovery is finally underway. State and local unemployment rates are dropping and, as consumers increase spending, tax collections are improving. There is reason for optimism. Consumer spending is proof that folks are feeling more confident about the future.

Engineering and aerospace machinist positions provide the livelihood for many of our friends and neighbors. For every job at Boeing, five more jobs are created at companies that contract with the aerospace business. Aerospace revenues in Washington state totaled $51.2 billion in 2012. Securing production of the

Our local economy As we continue to recover from the Great Recession, it’s important we recognize our personal responsibility to help improve our local economy by buying locally or American-made products. We can return manufacturing jobs home to America that were lost to China by buying products that are made here. Last year, we were contacted by Chris Lyons, an owner of the new Carbon Glacier Distillery in Wilkeson. Chris was seeking solutions that would make his local business more competitive with larger out-of-state and foreign companies that ship products here. We introduced House Bill 1149 to address his concern and help keep small businesses like his in our communities. We have also led efforts in the Legislature to reform our unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation programs to keep large rate increases from taking place during tough economic times. Without these changes we would have lost many jobs at a time we could least afford it.

In a bipartisan effort, we funded an additional $1 billion for K-12 education last year. We bolstered higher education to allow for a tuition freeze at our state’s institutions for the first time in nearly 30 years, and funded support programs and services for our most vulnerable. The current budget projections are positive and we will not need to make major changes in this year’s supplemental budget. We are confident we can conclude our business on time.

777X will ensure tens of thousands of additional aerospace jobs for generations to come. We were also careful to add language in the legislation that will hold Boeing accountable. If they do not live up to their agreements with the state, billions of dollars in tax incentives will go away.

As a team, we will continue to support policies that put people back to work. Rep. Hurst hears testimony in House committee meeting.

New investments in K-12 education The end product of last year’s session was a major win for students, teachers and parents. The $15.1 billion we spent on K-12 education represents an additional $1 billion investment over the previous budget. We gave educators back the 1.9 and 3 percent pay they sacrificed when dealing with the realities of previous budgets. We also provided funding for fullday kindergarten, class-size reductions, pupil transportation and materials, supplies and operating costs. We put additional resources into the Learning Assistance Program, or LAP, which helps our most vulnerable students, among other investments that make a difference in our classrooms. The state Supreme Court, in the McCleary v. State landmark education funding lawsuit, ruled the state must follow the state Rep. Dahlquist reading to school children. constitution that mandates K-12 education to be treated as the state’s “paramount duty” and be funded before other programs. The current budget was a giant step forward in complying with the court’s ruling. An optimistic economic outlook gives us hope for the future, but a sound education system ensures that we will have an educated work force that keeps our economy moving, our crime and drug-abuse rates lower and employers bringing more jobs to Washington. More remains to be done as we work to reach our goal of full basic education funding by 2018.

Public safety, protecting our vulnerable citizens Last year’s focus was on the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI) and child sex-trade legislation with regard to public safety measures. The state of Washington is now recognized as one of the two top states promoting innovative and effective legislation that cracks down on child prostitution.

In conclusion We work for you, the citizens of the 31st Legislative District. We strive to bring your voice to Olympia and make a better Washington. Our doors are always open and we enjoy hearing how we can best represent you. Feel free to stop in during the legislative session for a visit and if you wish we can arrange for you to take a tour of your state capitol. The 2014 legislative session is underway here in Olympia and there are many important issues that we will be working on. Education, public safety and building a strong economy are our top priorities. If you have any issues that you would like to bring to our attention, please feel free to contact us. 974483

In fact, he has an edge in goals with 64. Following their official visit to Tampa in September, the Lucchesi brothers immediately felt at home with the Spartans offensive scheme. “I can see us working well together. We already know a lot of their systems,” Michael said. “We’ll have a leg up going into our freshman year.” For more information on high school lacrosse in Washington state, visit www.WashingtonHSLAX. com.

high schools received bids to play what became the fastest-growing NCAA sport during the 2012-13 academic year. “Since the eighth grade, our coach challenged us to compete with each other. He encouraged us to keep track of stats for bragging rights,” Joey said. And keep track they have. Beginning as kids playing for the Lake Tapps Lacrosse Club, the two made up backyard games, taking five shots on each other from just 12 yards out to perfect their reaction time. “You always had to win by two,” Michael said. “We’d play for hours on end. On and on for bragging rights, and then we’d move on to the next game.” The endless gamesmanship shows in their high school stats. Michael, who plays the attack position for

wait-and-see approach to collegiate lacrosse and instead will focus on theater during her senior year in high school and a path to veterinary school at Tampa. “I had an amazing opportunity to be asked to play at Tampa,” said Megan, who went through the recruiting process with Tampa women’s coach Kelly Gallagher alongside her brothers but opted to explore new horizons once in Florida. “Lacrosse is my passion, but a lot of people don’t know I danced for 12 years – ballet, jazz, musical theater,” Megan said. “Mom signed me up for everything. “You express yourself on the lacrosse field, but you express yourself in a different way in dance,” she added. That, coupled with the opportunity to go to school with her brothers, made the trip to Tampa too good to pass up.

to play lacrosse at NCAA Division II University of Tampa. Even more remarkable is that older sibling, Megan, also a lacrosse player at Auburn Riverside plans to join them. “It’s an honor to be welcomed into the University of Tampa family,” said Joey, the youngest of the trio from Buckley, a suburban community just a few miles southeast of Tacoma. “Tampa is a great place to thrive as people and lacrosse players. We’re grateful for that opportunity.” Recruited by Tampa assistant Chris Burdick, who once guided Providence College to nine trips to the MAAC lacrosse tournament — including three titles in 14 years at the Friars’ helm before coming over to the newly-formed Tampa program — the Lucchesis will have an opportunity not only to stay close but also to help the now three-year old program compete for its first championship. Playing for head coach Rory Whipple, Michael and Joey are set to join a Tampa squad that has a great start, marked by back-to-back trips to the Deep South Conference lacrosse tournament and capped by an 11-6-0 record and title game appearance last spring. And they’ll be right at home, joining prep teammate and 2013 White River High School graduate Mikey O’Connor, who co-captained their Auburn Riverside squad last spring.

Playing with O’Connor and employing many of the offensive schemes they’d learned in the recruiting process, the Lucchesis thrived, helping Auburn Riverside finish first in the Division I South Sound Conference last spring before falling by a single goal to Bainbridge High School in the state quarterfinals. The Lucchesi brothers – both All-State selections in lacrosse with Michael’s 58 points (13 goals, 45 assists) and 47 ground balls earning second team honors at attack, and Joey’s 34 points (23 goals, 11 attempts) and 24 ground balls earning honorable mention last spring – put some muscle on their athletic resumes by helping Auburn Riverside football to a share of the SPSL 4A title this fall. Combined with GPAs hovering just below a perfect 4.0 and a highlight reel dominated by Lucchesi-to-Lucchesi feeds for goals, the fit was a natural for Tampa. “They really liked it,” said Michael. “Coach Whipple contacted both of us and told us he liked the connection. Obviously, being as close as we are off the field plays a big role.” And the closeness was a deciding factor for Megan, who also received an offer from the Spartans women’s squad after helping her lacrosse team to a third-place finish in Nisqually Conference play last spring. For the senior with a passion for theater who has danced since she was three, Megan is taking a

Peninsula’s (2-7, 5-13) Toni Helwig had a gamehigh 17 points. Although few at the beginning of the season would have picked Auburn Mountainview to win the SPSL 3A, rookie head coach Dustin DePiano said he’s not surprised. “I think other people might be surprised, but seeing the girls work hard every day in the summer, then in our practices to start the season, I expected them to do well,” he said. “Having eight seniors, seven of them returning varsity players, certainly

I wouldn’t trade jobs with anyone because of the girls I have this year.” The Lions still have one regular season game left, at 7 p.m. Friday at Decatur (0-8, 0-11). After that they prepare for the start of the postseason, which gets underway for the squad with a home contest at 7 p.m. Feb. 12 against the SPSL 3A third-place finisher. A win moves Auburn Mountainview on to a contest for the first and second seeds into the West Central District III tourney. A loss relegates the Lions to a battle for the third and fourth seeds. The WCD III district tourney begins Feb. 17 at Clover Park High School. DePiano said he believes his team is ready for the challenges that come with stepping up to

a higher level of competition. “I think we’re getting closer to being ready every day,” he said. “We’ve gotten a lot of experience playing in close games and finding ways to win. The girls are resilient, it’s them finding ways to grind out games that’s getting us a lot further than anything I’m doing. I think our confidence is high right now, and they are ready to see how far this thing can go. We’re a pretty loose team in terms of nerves and all that, so I think we just want to keep having fun and play together as long as possible.” The Lions wrap up the regular season at 7 p.m. Friday at Decatur. The SPSL/Seamount League 3A sub-districttourney begins Feb. 12.

helps, too. Even if we didn’t finish last year as we had hoped, these girls did gain a lot of experience, which has helped us along the way.” DePiano credits his team’s unity on and off the court for its success this year. “I’ve never been around a group that was more of a team than these girls,” he said. “They work hard on the court, hang out off the court and we have an insane amount of fun together as a team. They trust each other, play well together, and have never created even the slightest drama that can hurt a team. I don’t think there are many teams like us around, and we’re trying to make sure not to take that for granted. I genuinely think I’m the luckiest coach in the state, and

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx

Childhood obesity has lasting consequences, study finds

Auburn Soroptimists invite the public to celebrate 20 years of community fundraising at their Cupid’s Caper on Saturday at the Meridian Valley Country Club, 24830 136th Ave SE, Kent. The program, themed Cupid Goes Platinum, celebrates 20 years of Cupid’s Caper, from 6:30 to 11 p.m. The fundraiser supports struggling women and their families through the Shelter for Sisters and Women’s Opportunity Award pro-

young children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The percentage of obese children aged 6 to 11 years in the United States increased from 7 to 18 percent; similarly, the percentage of obese adolescents aged 12 to 19 years went from 5 to 18 percent over the same time period. In order to curb these dismal trends, parents, healthcare providers, schools and policy makers must work together to create a health-promoting environment from the start. “It will take a groundswell effort from all partners to make a lasting impact on getting kids to eat right,” says Jill Castle, a registered dietitian who specializes in pediatric nutrition. Parents are bombarded with information about nutrition for their young ones, but it is a hodgepodge of ever-changing and sometimes contradictory advice, which leaves them more confused than educated, she says. It is up to pediatricians and other healthcare professionals to fill in the gaps and help parents better understand the extraordinary importance of nutritional well-being at a young age. Parents need to lead by example, meaning that their own actions matter greatly when it comes to cultivating good eating habits at home. That starts with making healthy choices at the grocery store. All kids can find in the fridge or pantry is what parents put there. At least as long as their children are too young to buy their own food, parents function as gatekeepers – and they should take that job seriously.

HEALTHY CHOICES

Parents of overweight children may think that a little baby fat is harmless and will disappear over time as their kids grow older, and often that is indeed the case. However, according to a new study, kindergartners with weight problems are four times more likely to become obese as adolescents than their normalweight peers. The sad fact is that certain tracks are set early, and they can lead to struggles with weight and related diseases for a lifetime. “A lot of risk may be set by the age of 5, so you really have to focus on those very young ages,” said Dr. Solveig Cunningham, professor of global health at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and lead author of the study report. “What we are seeing is, among the kids that become obese, a lot of that happens the first few years in elementary school,” she added. Even an excessively high birth weight may be associated with obesity risk, said Dr. Cunningham. Her research found that obesity rates at kindergarten age were twice as high for babies weighing more than 8.8 pounds at birth compared to those whose birth weight was lower. The findings confirmed previous studies on correlations between obesity during childhood and throughout adolescence and adulthood. All concluded that the earlier children become overweight, the harder it will be to overcome weight problems and undo health damages later on, which can include diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cancer. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in

grams. Shelter for Sisters provides crisis help to women who need a one-time donation to get into secure housing or relocate away from an abusive situation. The Women’s Opportunity Award provides scholarship money to women heads of household who have overcome a life challenge and are pursuing a career to provide for their families. Purchase tickets or arrange to make a donation by contacting event chair, Sarah Miller, at sarah@ beeze.com, or 253-293-5781.

Schools also play a major role, and much more work needs to be done here. Despite of increased legislative efforts to improve the nutritional quality of school lunches, not enough funding is made available to make a real difference. Especially children from

low-income families desperately need these meals, which are oftentimes the only food source they can depend on all day. Last but not least, as a society, we must come to a clearer understanding that millions of overfed and undernourished children are

a concern for all of us. As the First Lady, Michelle Obama, once put it, “Childhood obesity isn’t just a public health issue, or just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well.” Timi Gustafson R.D. is a registered dietitian, newspaper columnist, blogger and author
