Community celebrates 100th birthday of historic Carnegie, now a dance and music center

Mandy Urwiler was only 13 and recently kicked out of her previous school because of her recent running away from home when pimps and drug dealers at her new school began pressuring her. “On my second day of school,” Urwiler recalled, “they asked me to be their whore and make them money … I didn’t want to sell my body. I said no, but they kept pushing.” Urwiler held her ground, and the young men finally, savagely, beat her. The night of the beating, Urwiler told her divorced parents what had happened. They pulled her from the school. “I was lucky, because, in this case, it was a situation I could get away

If the old Carnegie building could talk, oh, what tales it could tell. Ah, but heck, the librarians who once held sway in Auburn’s first standing library would probably have warned it to “hush up there” anyway. Yet from 12 to 4 p.m. Sunday there’ll be no shushing the celebration rolling the building, as festivities marking its 100th birthday, dip, pirouette and twirl into full swing. Today, just as it has been for nearly 50 years, the brown brick structure at 306 Auburn Ave., the one with the great trees out front and the distinctive blue doors at the top of the steps, is home for the Auburn Dance and Music Center. “We’re excited about the celebration, which has been a long time in the making,” said building and business owner Robert Smith. “In addition to the celebration, we have been completing a lot of preservation projects with the support of 4Culture and other nonprofit

auburn Schools teCH levy passing It’s certain, though not yet official. As of Wednesday morning, one week after the special election, voters within the Auburn School District were approving the district’s $22 million technology capital projects levy by a 55 to 45 percent margin. That’s 5,707 yes votes to 4,620 no. This tally represents 10,336 votes counted, a mere 27 percent of the total pool of 38,320 voters registered within the district, but success in this election requires only a simple majority. The levy provides six years of funding to take recommendations made by the 2013 Technology Citizens Ad Hoc Committee and set them in motion. It replaces the 2005 technology levy. Auburn School District officials have said that with the levy’s passage, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate will remain level. The next update was to be at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, after this issue had gone to press.

[ rates from page 1 ] increase all three utilities at its regular meeting Feb. 10. City staff recommended the higher rates in stormwater service to help the City keep pace with the “projected inflation of cost of expenditures” and “planned capital projects.” The increase is the first for the utility since Jan. 2009. The monthly service charge for stormwater service for a single-family residence or mobile home is to increase from $10.71 to $13.00 a month. The rate for other developed properties will increase $10.71 to

$16.00 a month. City officials expect the rate changes to increase city stormwater revenue by $45,000. City water rates also will see a bump, with prices increasing to help pay for treatment, maintenance and water utility operations. The monthly in-city base charge for typical residential customers – with a 5/8ths water meter – is $12, with usage billed depending on the amount of water used. The City will use a three-tier system, charging those using 1-7 CCF (one hundred cubic feet or approximately 748 gallons) $2 per CCF.

Those using 7.1-14 are to pay $3 per CCF, and over 14.1 will cost consumers $4 per CCF. The rate increases for commercial customers will vary with the size of meter. Consumers using Pacific city water outside city limits will pay a little more, $13.20, with usage charged at $2.20, $3.30 and $4.40 depending on usage. The rate increase, the first for the water utility since Jan. 2011, should increase the City’s water revenues by $15,000 a year. All rate increases go into effect on March 1.

from. But not every young person living in foster care or in a group home gets that chance,” said Urwiler, today 19 and considering a possible career in theoretical physics. Noel Gomez needed 15 years to escape the hellish world of sexual trafficking she’d been coerced into as a foster child and to which those human parasites called pimps staked her with violence. That’s a childhood lost before this young woman could get out from under the rapes and fear of death her pimps threatened her with, day-by-day, hour-byhour, minute-by-minute. Unhappily, those are typical stories. Urwiler, today employed by the Mockingbird Society, and Gomez, cofounder and director of survivor services for the Organization for Prostitution Survivors, spoke at a field hearing at Auburn City Hall Wednesday for the U.S. House Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Committee on Ways and Means. U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Auburn, and U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Seattle listened to accounts of the latest efforts in Washington State to prevent and address child sex trafficking. Testifying as well were King County Council member Reagan Dunn, King County Sheriff John Urquhart, Jean Kohl-Welles, state senator for the 36th Legislative District of Washington, and Dawn Rains, chief operating officer of Treehouse, a Seattle-based nonprofit serving youth in foster care in Washington State. All speakers came out fiercely, unequivocally for the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Improving Opportunities

Your Authorized Ford Dealership

for Youth in Foster Care Act, which is now under consideration in Congress. Kohl-Welles said that, despite Washington State’s reputation for more than a decade as a national leader in efforts to end human sex trafficking, the problem remains. “Sex trafficking, as well as all forms of human trafficking, is a pervasive and ever-changing social problem,” said Kohl-Welles. “It occurs in a wide variety of forms, from mail-order bride trafficking, including two murders, to false advertisements for au pairs and to the coercion of minors and children being trafficked via the Internet. Unfortunately, though, 33 anti-trafficking bills over 11 years only begin to address this horrifying commodification of human beings. “…Treating victims of trafficking, especially children and minors, as victims, rather than (as) criminals, has been an important component of the laws we’ve enacted,” Kohl-Welles added. “Children are not prostitutes; they are victims. They are coerced or forced into this practice by criminals and need to be protected and assisted, not jailed.” Dunn said he appreciated the opportunity to “highlight and to develop additional tools to combat the vile crime of human trafficking. Only by using every means available to us will we be able to save future victims from these horrors,” Dunn said. Reichert, a former King County Sheriff, described how in his 32 years in law enforcement he had “seen first hand the tragedies kids face when they’re not cared for by loving parents, when they run away, and when they end up on the streets.”

One killed, four injured in solo car crash on Lea Hill By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

One person was killed and four others injured in a car vs. telephone pole accident Monday night in the 11300 block of Southeast 320th on Auburn’s Lea Hill, police said. The vehicle had been traveling westbound on 320th about 10:10 p.m. at a speed estimated between 70 and 80 miles per hour in a posted 35-mph zone when

its 18-year-old driver lost control, the car slid sideways down the north sidewalk and curb, and hit two power poles on the north side of the street, sheering one of them off. Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman said five people, all young men in their late teens or early 20s, and all of them students at Green River Community College, were in the vehicle, one in the front seat, three in the back seat.

Registration is open for the Auburn Police Department’s Citizens Academy, which begins March 5. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. The academy consists of 13 Wednesday evening class sessions from 6:30 to 9:30. Most classes meet at the Auburn Police Department, 340 East Main St., Suite 201.

Because the man has not been formally charged, the Auburn Reporter is withholding his name. His next court appearance is Feb. 20.

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 helps reduce the number of non-emergency calls to 911 operators and ensures that calls are being handled in the most efficient manner possible.

asked a question. Instead, let’s ask the citizen what would they do.”– Mayor Nancy Backus in her first State of the City address

G U E S T E d i t ori a l

It’s time to end the death penalty Some thoughts on why we should abolish the death penalty: Arbitrariness: Life and death decisions vary from state to state, county to county, prosecutor to prosecutor. There are no standards. One murder may result in a capital prosecution in one county, but not in another. Same state, same law, same aggravating and mitigating factors, but one defendant faces the death penalty and one does not. Capital punishment is applied arbitrarily, subject to the political decisions of a county’s elected prosecutor. Deterrence: The vast majority of research finds the death penalty is not a deterrent. Beyond the research and statistics, I have front line, real world experience on the issue. The nature of the potential punishment is simply not part of the equation when someone contemplates murder. There is no thought process that goes, “Well, I’d kill him if I only got life in prison, but since Washington has the death penalty, I won’t.” We are deterred by how we are raised, by our moral compass of right and wrong, by our respect for life and by the laws that govern our civilized society. A person committing murder is acting outside that realm of rational thought. Costs: A criminal justice system with a death penalty is much more costly to taxpayers than one without. It’s much more expensive to seek a death sentence than life in prison. Study after study has shown this to be true. Any other law that was so costly and so inefficient would be scrapped. A huge amount of money is essentially wasted in the name of vengeance, while other criminal justice needs go woefully under-funded, causing further problems and frustrations with the administration of justice at all levels. Race: It is a fact that there are a highly disproportionate number of people of color on death row, and not just in the Southern states. Statistically, a murderer of a white victim is much more likely to receive a death sentence Mark Prothero

Community center is a ‘want,’ not a ‘need’ Regarding Mark Silberling letter to the editor (“Auburn doesn’t need costly community center”) that appeared in the Feb. 14 issue of the Auburn Reporter: From the facts and figures presented, it appears that the community center project is a huge “want” as opposed to a “need” for the citizens of our community. Our mayor and City Council members are elected by the citizens to be good stewards of our tax dollars and to prioritize the needs of our community. In this case, it appears that neither is being done. I found it extremely interesting that a letter following Silberling’s and written by Jeanne Harold also complained about the increase in the City of Auburn’s water bills. In his letter, it was pointed out the “City has already spent over a million

I heartily concur that continued spending/planning for a community center needs to be decided by the voters, and/or the mayor and council need to revisit this item high on their “want” list. – Elaine Powell

The day we fight back: Taking a stand for privacy Edward Snowden’s revelations this past year have been astonishing. The first story broken by the Guardian, “NSA collecting phone records of millions of Verizon customers daily,” includes a FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) document forc-

I wholeheartedly agree with Mark Silberling. There are plenty of meeting/activity places all over Auburn. If such a place were really needed, there is an abundance of empty commercial buildings in Auburn. But we do not need such a place? Auburn keeps spending our money in the most foolish ways. For instance, did we really need the metal sculptures of crane flies along Main Street? No one notices them. They are a magnet for graffiti. They do nothing to beautify our city. What we need are replacement/repairs to our streets.

Thank you for watching out for me We hear so many horror stories in the news, I think many of us need to hear this. My neighbor called and asked me to join her for a concert at the Auburn Avenue Theater on Saturday night. I went but because it was snowing I decided to leave the show early. There was a man standing near the door as I left. As I neared the edge of the sidewalk to cross the street he came up beside me and offered his arm saying, “Please take hold, I don’t want to see you slip and fall into the street.” He walked slowly and carefully to my car, where he helped me clear the snow from my car windows and then quietly walked away. My initial thought was this kindness doesn’t happen much anymore. Yesterday I told my neighbor about it, and her reaction was exactly the same. This is why I want to say a public thank you to him. I do not know who

he is. This was simply a random act of kindness that we don’t see happen very often anymore, and I think we all need to hear and to encourage others to do these small acts for others. – Carolyn B. Denoyer

Auburn doing its part to enhance senior care As a longtime Auburn resident, I support the recent letter to the editor from Robin Dale, CEO, Washington Health Care Association. This is, indeed, “Time to support senior care” (Auburn Reporter, Feb. 14). It is obvious that our society is unprepared for the needs of our aging population. Rehabilitation and long-term care offered in a skilled-nursing facility is a critical part of the healthcare delivery system. That is why I am concerned that there is no not-for-profit skillednursing and rehabilitation facility in South King County. In my experience, this type of non-profit nursing home provides the best care for our loved ones and ourselves.

More than 80 percent of the rooms are projected for community usage. Together, we have raised more than $1 million toward our $2 million goal to help build the $6.6 million health center. The City, Auburn Rotary and a number of committed individuals are generously supporting the campaign. Interested parties may contact the Wesley Homes Foundation at 206870-1126. Don’t the valued seniors of South King County – our retired teachers, nurses, policeman, small business owners, homemakers – deserve a brighter and healthier future? Let’s work together to get the job done. – Sue Singer

[ MY TURN from page 5 ] cant reason. One thing is now abundantly clear: the American people’s privacy is being invaded by its own government. Nearly a year after these revelations surfaced, we still know very little about what’s happening or the controls in place to prevent abuses of power. So far the most “transparency” we have gotten is the director of National Intelligence lying to Congress about the existence of mass surveillance programs. James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, remains in power today. Some readers may wonder why they should care, especially if they have nothing to hide. Googling for “nothing to hide surveillance state” will turn up thousands of news articles on why you should care; however, I would like to emphasize one signifi-

The malleability of our system of government depends on privacy to allow its constituents the freedom to engage with laws and march our society forward. During the civil rights movement for example, thousands of laws were broken, and Jim Crow laws represented an unjust set of laws when viewed through the lens of modern society. If the NSA data collection programs existed in those days, it’s a tiny stretch to say law enforcement would have used the power to crack down on American citizens for crimes that had yet to be committed, or at the very least could have seriously disrupted the organization of the movement itself. A modern day example exists in the gay rights movement sweeping the nation. Do you believe

[ PROTHERO from page 5 ] than when the victim is a person of color. This racial disparity is glaring and shameful evidence that capital punishment does not live up to our nation’s ideal of providing “equal justice for all.” Innocence/wrongful convictions: Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1973, 143 people in 26 states have been released from death row based on forensic DNA and other exculpatory evidence. Since 1989, the Innocence Project has utilized forensic DNA to exonerate 312 innocent individuals who were wrongfully convicted of their crimes, 18 of whom were released from death row. The exonerated spent an average of over 13.5 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. To those who argue there are too many appeals, this is another example of why we need a thorough and lengthy appeal process. Wrongful convictions occur everywhere and existed before the advent of forensic DNA. There is no doubt this has resulted in the execution of innocent people.

just that: the individual will die within the prison walls. Prior to 1983, a “life” sentence could have resulted in release in 13 years, 7 months. That is simply not the case anymore in Washington. Life means life. Lock ‘em up and throw away the key. Let them rot in prison dealing with what they have done until they die within those walls. Never get out. Never hear from again. Period. End the death penalty: As I studied and learned more and more about the death penalty and how the law was actually applied in practice, I came to see how it didn’t work. Mistakes can be made. Biases and prejudices impact life and death decisions. Human beings are making these ultimate decisions. We all make mistakes, and we all have biases and prejudices. I understand the argument made by families of victims – what if it was your

wife or child that had been murdered? To be honest, on an emotional level, I would want that person to get the death penalty. But public policy and what is best for society cannot be determined by the families of victims of heinous crimes. It is impossible, understandably so, to be fair and objective under those circumstances. And growing numbers of victims’ families are speaking out against the death penalty. Remove the emotion from the debate and it is clear to see that capital punishment is not a deterrent, is very expensive to implement, is arbitrarily imposed, and simply doesn’t work. It is time to end the death penalty. Mark Prothero is an attorney at law at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC, Kent. (www.hiplawfirm. com)

Every bit of it was on a shoestring budget. “I wasn’t really crazy about it. I thought it was a little bit too big at that time. But at first we checked it out to rent it. The place was a mess. At some point, the boiler must have blown up; there was soot from one end of the building to the other. We didn’t have a lot of money. But the parents of the students we had in those days were so devoted,” Smith said. While Smith was away on a trip to New York, the parents came in and scrubbed the building down. Where the old library had been a wall-to-wall affair, they divided the one room into separate rooms, and put in new floors. “This,” said Smith, tapping a desk in the entrance hall, “is part of the old library desk. Look, here’s the old hole that the cards

COURTESY PHOTO, White River Valley Museum used to fit into. We wanted to keep this desk, but unfortunately, we couldn’t keep the whole thing because part of the desk went into that other room. So we had to cut it off. People talked about moving it, but I said no.” Smith credits his late wife, the school’s pianist, for getting the building registered as an historic building. “Everything that’s happened to this building was thanks to her,” Smith said.

Smith estimates that over the years the dance and music center has put at least 10,000 dancers out into the world. “We still have people who come back and say, ‘This used to be like my second home.’ I think we have a nice homey atmosphere here. That’s what people have told me,” Smith said. Those attending the birthday party may enjoy refreshments, listen to a professional pianist in the

organizations. It is an amazing building.” According to newspaper clippings, the original library opened in February 1914, mere months removed from the first guns of World War I in Europe. The exact day and time when it happened, however, is still something of a mystery, Smith said. Auburn’s pioneer Ballard family, which lived next door, donated the land to the City of Auburn, allowing it to take advantage of the generosity of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie and his public buildings initiative. That the building still draws breath in this world owes everything to the commitment of Smith, his late wife, Mary Margaret Smith, center staff, and to the families who have supported the dance center from its

Smith came to Auburn in 1954, when the population was about 8,000 people. “We started off like every dance music school in what we called the fraternity hall above the old Penney’s,” he said. “Then we made a couple of moves, and at a certain point we grew and were looking for another building.” In the early 1960s, the people of Auburn passed a measure to build a new library, and the old one was shuttered. Some of Smith’s patrons seeing that the building had been vacant for two or three years, suggested he take a look at it. Smith said he can’t remember exactly what year he made the purchase, only that the building was in ghastly shape when he got it and a “major, major, major production” to whip into shape.

Trillium demonstrated to a team of surveyors during a multiday, on-site visit, its commitment to offering services that are measurable, accountable, and of

the highest quality. The surveyors interviewed key stakeholders such as clients, employers and funders, and in their report noted several distinguishing strengths such as: “Trillium is a respected organization in the community; has an excellent, positive image and reputation in its service delivery area; and is a valued member of

the community, evidenced by stakeholder feedback.” “The persons served are very satisfied with the quality, flexibility, and consistency of services provided to them.

Bond sales save taxpayers $3.2M For the Reporter

The Auburn School District has refinanced outstanding bonds, resulting in a total savings to taxpayers of $3,263,803 this past year. The district said it recently took advantage of favorable municipal bond market conditions and sold approximately $45 million of bonds for the Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction Project. The bonds were sold on Jan. 29 at an interest rate of 3.4 percent. Owing to favorable market conditions, the district also refinanced approximately $3.3 million of outstanding bond debt. Elsewhere: Kent’s Sophia Wagner, an Auburn Mountainview senior, has been named one of more than 3,000 candidates for the U.S. Presidential program. Inclusion in the program is a high honor, recognizing the student’s academic and artistic achievements, leadership qualities, character and involvement in community and school activities. Wagner, daughter of Daniel and Brigitte Wagner, scored 2380 on her SAT. In addition, Wagner earned first-team All-South Puget Sound League, The News Tribune and Seattle Times’ All-Area team honors for her play in soccer.

[10] February 21, 2014 [ backus from page 1 ] “I think Fiorello “Henry” La Guardia, New York (City) Mayor from 1934-1945, stated it best: ‘There is no Democratic or Republican way of cleaning the streets.’ Pretty simple concept. We just need to get it done.” As Auburn like other cities shuffles off the doldrums of a national economy that tanked in 2009, Backus said, it is poised for growth. Just two weeks ago, the City’s police force added three officers. What’s more, Backus said, Auburn has a kicking cultural arts scene, from a smoking Bravo Series, Comedy at The

ing tied to decisions made at the county, state and federal level that have reduced or taken money away from the local budget. “We have a significant number of brothers and sisters in Auburn that are struggling,” Backus said. “Some are long term, some have been the victims of a poor economy. Regardless of the reason, if there are children without food, elderly without homes or veterans unable to receive service, it is unacceptable. It is not a crime to be poor. I don’t have all the answers to this problem, but I do know that there are angels in our midst that are answering the call, like the Auburn Food Bank, Auburn Youth Resources, Valley Cities and Pregnancy Aid.” As to filling the funding gaps, Backus noted, since 1996 the City’s budget has taken collective hits of $51 million to its bow, tied to legislative or initiative action. Among the villains: Streamlined Sales Tax; the repeal of the motor vehicle excise tax; property tax limitations; and the loss of the liquor sales excise tax. Whether the people involved realized it beforehand or not, Backus said, when state and federal governments changed the rules or voters approved certain initiatives,

the result was everywhere and always the same: less money, fewer services. Locally, Auburn’s street and transportation system took the biggest hits. “This is the most expensive service that your government provides,” Backus said of the transportation system. “This … is a problem for which no one person has a solution. I can stand here and explain the economics of your local government. I can try and make a plea that it’s the cost of doing business. There are a lot of things I could say, but it would not solve the problem. It’s always about choices – if we spend money on “A” then we have to spend less on “B” – and each choice has a benefit and a consequence. My point is that there are no easy answers. And anyone that tells you that it is easy probably lies about other things, too,” Backus said. Backus promised to deliver three things to the City’s residents to provide them with the kind of service their local government owes them. The first is that her administration will provide more transparency through technology. “We have made a start on this, and I am seeking ways to do more. Your IT department has continued to add services to what I call our virtual City Hall. Tools that can help you do

your business with your City more convenient for you and more efficiently for us. We are also looking at more ways to help citizens find information. I am aware that finding data can be very difficult, and we as your government should decrease that difficulty as much we can. It’s your information, and you deserve to have access to it without bureaucracy,” Backus said. Second, she said, the City will increase citizen engagement through “nontraditional means.” “We know that technology can be the great equalizer – we can create or use more innovative online citizen engagement tools, and we can continue to find ways to increase access to your local government, so that we can hear your voice. I believe a quick response is critical – even if it’s simply, ‘I’ll get back to you.’ And then, we must get back to you,” Backus said. Along these lines, Backus noted, the City recently seated its first Auburn Junior City Council, with the goal in mind of providing more youth feedback to its leaders. The City, Backus said, will continue to be out in neighborhoods talking to people where they are. And last she said, the City means to break down some of the traditional ways that government does business. “We will be a disrupter of

the status quo,” she said. “…Some tried to characterize me as one of the good ol’ boys” during my campaign — I’m not old,” Backus said, drawing laughter. “We have recently made some changes to our structure as I mentioned before. We have merged our planning and public works departments because their functions are so closely related and important to our upcoming development. We wanted to make sure that this function is operating at its absolute best, and I can tell you that so far, they are. “We need to hear what the citizens’ priorities are, not tell them what our priorities are; we will require that City staff stop defending when we are asked a question. Instead, let’s ask the citizen what would they do. We will drop the defensiveness and stop fighting and never allow the first answer to be no. We have decided that the way we have historically done business is dead. We will continue to develop more public-private partnerships. Auburn has some exciting opportunities ahead. We have the attention of those looking to locate their business in our city, as well as those looking to move their families here. The next few years will bring much change to our downtown, as well as to other areas within the city.”

Lions surge into state swim meet

Auburn Mountainview snags 3A Sub-district girls basketball title The Auburn Mountainview (18-4) girls basketball team captured the South Puget Sound League/Seamount 3A Subdistrict title last Friday with a 42-50 victory against Kennedy Catholic (17-5) at Auburn Mountainview High School. The Lions earned the No. 1 seed into the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A tournament and a 7:45 p.m. Tuesday game against Lincoln (13-4) at Stadium High School in Tacoma. Results were unavailable at press time.

The Auburn Mountainview boys swimming team qualified two relay teams and three individual swimmers to this weekend’s Washington State 3A Boys Swimming and Diving Championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. The Lions’ 200-yard freestyle relay team – composed of seniors Riley King and Colin Lempert and juniors Tyler Arnold and Luke Lavine – punched its ticket to state with a third-place finish at the West Central [ more swim page 13 ]

Lion grapplers punch tickets to Mat Classic

Troy grapplers reverse rough start By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The opening round of the Class 4A Region 3 Wrestling Tournament was unkind to Auburn. Of the 10 Auburn wrestlers competing for a berth to this weekend’s state 4A Mat Classic XXVI championships, only one Trojan – 195-pound junior Sam Lindsay – managed a first-round win. Despite the poor start, the Trojans recovered to qualify four wrestlers – Lindsay, 285-pound junior Jacob Apodaca, 120-pound sophomore Drew Aplin and 138-pound sophomore Sjon Snitily – for the state tournament at the Tacoma Dome.

“I was surprised and impressed with the way the Trojan wrestlers fought back,” Trojans coach Dennis Herren said. “We went onefor-nine at the beginning, and one of our captains, Mario Luevano, injured his ankle and was forced to withdraw from the tournament. If you lose like that in the first round, it is a long road back. “Some teams might have given up at this point. Instead, these Auburn wrestlers had a team meeting and rallied back to place six wrestlers in the top six,” Herren said. “Drew Aplin and Jacob Apodoca were able to avenge losses versus wrestlers who had beat them in the past. Everyone gave all they had against what

proved to be a tough (South Puget Sound League) South.” After losing a 7-6 first-round decision to Rogers’ Noah Howell, Apodaca fought his way back in the consolation bracket, pinning Federal Way’s Steven Crawford at 4 minutes, 46 seconds, and beating Kentlake’s Mason Johnson 8-3. The victories set up a battle with district rival Larkin Williams of Auburn Riverside for third place. Williams came out on top with a pin at the 2:06 mark, relegating Apodaca to fourth place. He starts his Mat Classic journey at 1:30 p.m. Friday against Central Kitsap junior Dominick Johnson.

Auburn Mountainview is sending six wrestlers and two alternates to this weekend’s Washington State Mat Classic XXVI 3A Wresting Championships. The Lions snagged two second-place finishes at last weekend’s 3A regional competition at Bonney Lake. Senior 285-pounder Dakota Weir earned his second trip to state, and 220-pound sophomore Antonio Corea punched his ticket to Mat Classic for the first time. Corea takes on Bellevue junior Alec Palander at 1:20 p.m. Friday at the Tacoma Dome, and Weir gets started against Kennedy Catholic sophomore Eddie Benge at 1:30 p.m. Friday. Also earning state berths for Auburn Mountainview is 120-pound freshman Brahm Trujillo, who was third at

Vikings bounce Ravens out of district tourney The Auburn Riverside girls ended their season with a 63-50 loss to Puyallup in the West Central District III/ Southwest District 4 4A basketball tournament Tuesday at Stadium High School in Tacoma. The Ravens finished the season 12-11. Despite the Ravens scoring a season-high eight 3-pointers, the Vikings (16-5) fended off Auburn Riverside down the stretch. “Puyallup’s experience came through in the end. They out-executed us down the stretch, so all credit goes to them,” said Ravens coach Derek Pegram. Payton Dunne finished with a team-high 13 points for Auburn Riverside, and Rachel Davey chipped in with 12. Emily Valnes and Brittni Williams had eight points apiece.

[ troy from page 12 ] Lindsay, who competed at 170 pounds at last year’s Mat Classic, defeated Graham-Kapowsin’s Tim Amadeo in the first round 8-4, then dropped a 5-2 decision to eventual 195-pound champ Joseph Meyer of Puyallup in the second round. A loss to Tahoma’s Cooper Thomas earned

Auburn Mountainview advanced four gymnasts to this weekend’s state 3A championships at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall. Senior Hanna Houck, a returning state competitor, earned the chance to compete in three individual events with her performance at this past weekend’s West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A meet at Mount Rainier High School.

The Auburn boys basketball squad ended its season on Tuesday, losing 52-38 to Curtis in the West Central District III/Southwest

District 4 tournament at Auburn High School. The Trojans (13-11) struggled out of the gate, scoring just two points in the first quarter and finding themselves down 30-11 at the half. Although the team came alive in the third quarter, scoring 18 points in the frame, they couldn’t catch the Vikings (20-4). JJ Ruffin led Auburn with a game-high 22 points, Marquise Prader added eight, and Jason Momi and Rio Paul had three points each. Dartrae Menster had two points. Ashanti Potts-Woods’ 18 points, led Curtis. The Trojans finished the regular season with a 10-6 South Puget Sound League North 4A record, good for fourth-place. Next season the team drops to the 3A classification so it will likely play in a revamped SPSL 3A division against Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview.

Snitily, who finished fifth at 138, starts Mat Classic with a pigtail match at 9:45 p.m. Friday against Lake Stevens’ Zach Cunningham. Aplin, who finished fourth at the regional meet,

takes on Central Valley sophomore Bryson Beard at 10:40 a.m. Friday in the first round at Mat Classic. Balteer Rana, a 120-pound junior, finished sixth at regionals, as did 160-pound junior Bailey Minnar. “I am absolutely pleased with this team,” Herren said. “They stand out to me. Even when things don’t go their way, these

Marissa Miller’s gamehigh 18 points and Addie Picha’s 16 led the Vikings. The Ravens finished the regular season with a 7-7 South Puget Sound League North 4A record, good for fifth place. The Ravens will lose just three seniors, Valnes, Simona Allen and Danielle Brickner, but return the bulk of their roster when they drop down to the South Puget Sound League 3A next year. “It was a good year for us. We have a lot to build on,” Pegram said. “We’re excited to move down to 3A to be in a league with all the Auburn schools.”

Curtis sends Auburn home with 52-38 loss

Houck scored an 8.625 on the beam, a 7.225 on bars and a 8.100 on the vault. Houck did not make the cut in the all-around competition despite a 32.475 score. Also moving on for the Lions is senior Kelly Watrous who will compete on the floor, vault and beam. Watrous had an 8.500 on the floor, an 8.100 on the vault and a 7.765 on beam. Senior Delaney Ralph also moves on to state with a 7.400 on beam and senior Emily Morgan qualified with a 6.300 on bars. Now it’s all about preparing for the final meet of the girls’ prep career,

Auburn Mountainview head coach Andrew Stranack said. “This week we run through their routines and fine tune the details,” he said. “The skill learning is over at this point so we need to do what we do and do it clean. Mentally I keep them from getting too stressed, keep them having fun. My goals for the kids at state are to do their best and have fun with it. They are all seniors so they need to make it a memorable meet.” Enumclaw won the district team competition with a 172.375 team score. Victoria Hernandez posted a first-place

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. 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.
