New medical pavilion takes wing By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

DEMO DUTY Demolition crews began to tear down the first half of the Business and Industry building at Green River Community College early last week, clearing the way for the construction of the 65,000-square-foot Student

Life Center. All materials produced by the demolitions are to be recycled. The new center, including a bookstore, stage and dining area, is expected to open in 2015. ROSS COYLE, Reporter

Of course, one of the big ideas behind St. Francis Medical Group’s new medical pavilion north of Auburn’s Fred Meyer is to bring its services into a community where they weren’t available before. But Peter O’Connor, chief operating officer of Franciscan Medical Group, said the 124-year-old company is equally determined to expand its reach between St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way and the Highline Medical Center. And to offer the Auburn community a “full palette” of services. “Family medicine and primary care is the foundation of all of our care, so we’re going to have a major presence here,” O’Connor said during a pre-opening day tour of the new facility. “We’re starting out with a few primary care docs, up to eight here, but we also have speciality care with cardiology and cardiovascular general surgery. We’ll be providing the services here.” Staffed by Franciscan Heart and Vascular Associates and eight primary care doctors, [ more PAVILION page 7 ]

Gentle Annabelle joins stable at Mary Olson Farm By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The young ’un fancies a scratch behind the ear, fine food, a good gallop, a cozy bed. Right now she’s about the size of a doe, and with those big brown eyes and white spots, even looks like one. One thing – beside stealing your heart, she’ll happily munch any sleeve that gets near her face and flicking

Man faces three charges in fatal car crash on Lea Hill Reporter staff

The King County Prosecutor’s office on Feb. 20 charged an 18-year-old man with one count each of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly driving the car that spun out of control in the 11300 block of Southeast 320th on Lea Hill Feb. 17, killing one of his passengers and injuring three others. Qiang Liu, an exchange student from China attending Green River Community College, remains in King County jail on $2 million bail. According to charging papers, two of Liu’s rearseat passengers, Zhenyu Yang and Weihao Zu, both 17, were thrown from the car during the accident. Yang was pronounced dead at the scene; Zu, who

According to police, the vehicle had been traveling westbound on 320th about 10:10 p.m. at a speed estimated of between 70 and 80 miles per hour in a posted 35-mph zone when Liu 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 at the base. “The right-rear passenger was killed, the middle/ rear was seriously hurt and isn’t doing well,” said Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman. As of Feb. 21, Zu remained in critical condition with internal injuries. Hirman said that all of

the young men in the car were in their late teens or early 20s, and all of them were students at GRCC. Doctors released the other two passengers on Feb. 17. When physicians released Liu from Harborview, police booked him into jail on suspicion of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. Liu made his first court appearance Feb. 18. In asking for the high bail, prosecutors noted that police had arrested Liu on Nov. 29, 2013 for trying to elude a police officer, adding that he “appears to be willing to endanger others with his reckless driving.” Lin is a Chinese citizen, with few ties to the community.

Theatrical wrestling looks to get off the mat

Hulk Hogan is returning to the moneymaking behemoth known by its initials, WWE, and its annual extravaganza of muscle-flexing, WrestleMania. You could almost hear cheers coming from the Shoreline home of Rep. Cindy Ryu when the announcement came out last week. Turns out her husband and mother-inlaw are “huge fans” of the wrestler whose bulging biceps, long blond hair, bright red bandana and propensity for ripping off his T-shirt following victories made him a fixture of the sport in the 1980s. We learned this about the representative’s spouse when she and other lawmakers considered pleas of wrestlers from the world of lucha libre who say they can’t get a whiff of the fame enjoyed by Hogan because the state’s red tape has them in a chokehold. Lucha libre is Mexico’s version of professional wrestling and arguably the country’s most popular sport behind soccer. It’s gaining attraction in parts of the United States and was even the focus of Jack Black’s comedy, “Nacho Libre.” But only a handful of competitions are staged in Washington each year, and that’s a problem lawmakers are getting asked to help solve. State laws regulate professional wrestling, including lucha libre, the same way they do with boxing and mixed martial arts. For example, there must be paramedics and an ambulance on site and minimum levels of security personnel. And there’s a promoter fee of $500, a fee of $25 for each participant and a requirement that a refundable surety bond is posted. Also, the state gets 6 percent of the gross admission receipts, plus $1 per ticket sold. Referees are required, and there’s a $25 fee for them too. [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Inslee is wrong on the death penalty So is this how Gov. Jay Inslee “energizes” his base – by suspending the death penalty? Inslee “walked through the steps of an execution.” So what? And he met with the people on death row. Again, so what? All he did was fortify a pre-conceived bias against the death penalty. Oh yeah, he “met with the victims families.” Likely just long enough to say that he met with the victims families. Inslee claims to be worried about the cost of prosecuting the death penalty. I recall candidate Inslee, who cost the state $1 million to have a special election a few weeks early. I don’t remember his concern then. How many prosecutions would $1,000,000 fund? These nine people on death row are the worst of the worst. Their heinous crimes deserve the death penalty several times over. And Inslee tries to claim

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] But lucha libre isn’t about combat and conquest, it’s about acrobatics and entertainment involving folks with unsculpted bodies, cool masks and creative monikers. Promoters don’t have deep pockets. It’s theatrical and pantomimed violence in which wrestlers are “in cahoots” to entertain, and not hurt one another like in combative sports, said Rep. Zack Hudgins, D-Tukwila. House Bill 2573 gives

the department until Nov. 1 to come up with recommendations for regulating this form of theatrical wrestling. It sailed through the House and this week and was the subject of a hearing by the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. A few of the masked athletes attended. Lucha libre promoters testified that the existing requirements make it too costly to stage events. One said he had turned down an invitation to put on bouts during Seattle’s Bumbershoot fest last year

But they are not trying to pin the bill. “We would love an opportunity to look at it,” said Christine Anthony, DOL spokeswoman. Lucha libre wrestlers hope this will help get them off the mat and in front of audiences around the state. And maybe turn Representative Ryu and her family into big fans, too.

because it would have meant paying the state a percentage of revenue from all sales of festival tickets. “I’m not sure what level of regulation is needed,” Hudgins said. The bill is “to find out what level, if any, should be put on this activity.” The committee faces a deadline of 5 p.m. Friday to pass the bill or it will be set aside for the session. Department of Licensing officials say the laws on the books are intended to protect both the wrestlers and those attending.

We all lose, however, when we all have to pay for a disastrous corporate business model. Multinational chains pay their employees poverty wages and force them to be reliant on social programs. Walmart’s employees, for instance, are in many states the largest group of food stamp and Medicaid recipients. Full-time work ought to provide the opportunity to live decently, support a family, save for the future and fully contribute to the economic health of the community, without relying on public assistance. Every job should be an economyboosting job. Moreover, employee retention is something every business owner takes seriously. Small businesses need a stable workforce. Paying decent wages reduces turnover, cuts training costs and enables us to grow our companies. Policymakers should know that the wisdom is to be found on Main Street, not Wall Street. Mom-n-pop’s, small entrepreneurs and shop owners have always had a more holistic and a more realistic view of our local economy as it actually is, grown bottom-up and with consumer demand. Businesses succeed over time if they’re grounded

in communities of secure people who enjoy access to good health care, good education and genuine economic opportunity. I have always believed that running a business well and believing in the American creed of “We the People” makes sense. We all come together and make roads, bridges, water works, schools, emergency services and so much more to help make my business possible. Part of that infrastructure is also our collective responsibility to ensure that my neighbors receive living wages so they can be my customers and your customers. In public policy debates, the Us v. Them mindset sets in all too easily and closes the door on constructive dialogue. Raising the minimum is the right thing to do, not simply because it is good for small business. Common sense and decency also tell me that gradually raising the minimum wage to $12 hour will make a huge difference to thousands of my friends and neighbors. I eagerly look forward to more of them being able to be not only fellow community members but also my customers. My future depends on it.

Report: false alarms decreasing; ordinance to remain as it is The Franciscan Medical Group has opened its newest medical pavilion, in Auburn. This stateof-the-art facility includes family medicine, cardiology, vascular surgery, general surgery, digital x-ray, a retail pharmacy and an on-site lab.

[ pavilion from page 1 ] the 37,000-square-foot medical pavilion opened Thursday, boasting 40 examination rooms and a downstairs lab and pharmacy. The first stop for patients will be second-floor reception area. From there, it’s on to either primary care in the East Wing, or to the West Wing with its cardiology and vascular services and rotating specialists. The company expects to bring those rotating specialists in soon. One special feature of construction: wide halls for patients that are separated from the staff hallways and all of their associated busyness and noise and bother. The idea there is to

Calkins said the machine will primarily help the police better respond to complaints about speeders on residential streets. “If we can, we send an officer out, but often there ends up being no violations,” he said. “Now, I can put this out without any message, and it will register speeds.

The Boeing Employees Credit Union expects to open a branch in the building about June. Dave Kessler, principal of Latitude Development, LLC, which built the pavilion, said his company is thick in negotiations with potential tenants. Latitude acquired the property in 2007. It started work in early 2013. “We thought it was a good price, and we liked the location,” Kessler said. “We were looking at office space at the time. There are not many in-

Also The City Council approved the purchase of two new police vehicles at its Monday meeting. The City will buy a new Dodge Charger patrol car to replace the one totaled during a police-involved shooting earlier this month. The City will replace an aging 2000 Dodge pickup truck in service with a new twowheel drive Chevy Tahoe interceptor.

fill lots like this left in Auburn. We just liked the proximity to the retail services, the proximity to the freeway, the proximity to the retail services, the proximity to 15th, the proximity to the hospital.” The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia founded the St. Francis Medical Group in 1890 in Tacoma. “There’s a lot of folks in the community that St. Francis in particular offers a hand to, but it helps anyone that needs care,” O’Connor said. The construction cost was $12 million. Tenant improvements were $7 million. The pavilion, at 205 10th St. NE, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.

False alarms were costing the City of Auburn and its police department a pot of money in 2007. In that year alone, 2,500 false alarms went off, Auburn police officers responded to 1,800 of them, and the City was out $550,000. Although the City got back $35,000 from fines and first-time license applications that year, it was a comparative drop in the bucket set against what it was spending, then police chief Jim Kelly argued. City leaders listened, considered, and in 2009, passed a highly-detailed, 24-page ordinance. The teeth of the ordinance imposed a charge of $100 for each false burglar alarm and $200 for each false holdup, robbery or panic alarm. The idea was to recover losses.

But it granted property owners one false alarm, and only one, before the hammer dropped. Citing a recent police report titled “False Alarm Prevention Program 2007 to 2013,” Auburn Police Assistant Chief Bill Pierson on Monday told members of the City’s Municipal Services Committee that between 2008 – the last full year before the ordinance was put in place – and 2013, false alarm calls decreased 63 percent. Nevertheless, one resident recently approached city leaders, asking them to consider allowing property owners one false alarm each year. That would not be such a hot idea, according to Pierson’s experience. He said he has seen far too many people pleading faulty equipment to avoid their fine.

Drop in Auburn youth obesity tied to public health investments For the Reporter

New findings published recently by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show youth obesity has dropped in low-income school districts that were part of a King County-focused obesity prevention initiative. The Auburn School District participated from 2010-2012 with

a Commit to Fit campaign. The report shows a 17-percent decline in youth obesity in King County after Public Health – Seattle & King County partnered with schools and community organizations to implement a two-year Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) obesity prevention initiative.

The Commit to Fit Campaign galvanized students to eat healthier foods and be more active. “We saw the entire district get involved in various ways with the initiative. We had over 6,000 students track their nutrition and physical activity changes,” said Auburn High School teacher Lori Jacobs.

While youth obesity rates fell significantly in CPPW initiative school districts, (Auburn, Highline, Kent, Northshore, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila) rates remained the same in districts not involved in the initiative and were also unchanged in the rest of the state. By increasing healthy food

choices and opportunities for physical activity, such as improving the quality of physical education, the initiative boosted healthy habits for middle and high school students. The results have promising implications for statewide and national strategies to improve community health.

Army Corps begins annual spring fill of Howard Hanson Dam

BUILDING FOR THE AGES

Water managers have begun slowly filling the reservoir at Howard Hanson Dam at the headwaters of the Green River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers slowly begins the annual spring fill of the reservoir in late February, allowing water levels to rise within Howard Hanson Dam’s reservoir.

CARNEGIE TURNS 100 The public celebrated last Sunday the 100th birthday of Auburn’s Carnegie Library, one of the city’s most historic landmark buildings and home of the Auburn Dance and Music Center, 306 Auburn Ave. The building, built by a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings in Washington, D.C. “The celebration … has been a long time in the making,” said Robert Smith, building and business owner, pictured right, sharing a moment with Mayor Nancy Backus. “In addition to the celebration, we have been completing a lot of preservation projects with the support of 4Culture and other nonprofit organizations.” At the open house, Easels displayed photographs of the building when it housed the Auburn library. Below, Jack Danner looks at vintage photos of the building.

The dam helps protect Kent, Auburn, Renton and Tukwila from flooding. It takes about three months to refill the reservoir, according to a Army Corps media release. The current plan targets a maximum pool elevation of 1,167 feet above sea level. A 1,167 foot elevation pool has been the spring refill target since 2007. Water stored during the spring refill of the reservoir will be used to provide water supply to

the City of Tacoma and its water supply partners. Additionally, at least three-fifths of the reservoir’s supply will be used to augment downstream flows to help endangered species of fish, including Chinook and steelhead. Project managers believe that the regulated downstream flows will aid spawning and other lifecycle events for the fish. The Corps operates the Howard Hanson Dam project.

Museum Director Patricia Cosgrove, then on the lookout for a new cow to complement the field-trip program, first laid eyes on Annabelle last Christmas at one of her favorite farm stands. Mere days old then, the calf had been outfitted with antlers, and kids were posing with her for holiday photos. Cosgrove fell in love with the bovine babe. The farmstand owners listened to what WRVM’s director had to say, and generously let her have the calf. “We needed something very young to raise,” Burrum said. “We had tried to have Libby inseminated, but it didn’t work out, so we had been looking for a calf. Since then, we’ve had Annabelle at the farm, and our cow loves her.” Burrum said Libby has

grown so attached to the youngster that she moans when museum staff take her away to tend to her. Libby has even started producing milk. “Even though Libby’s a heifer, she started making milk because the calf was around. They’re a great team together,” Burrum said. Annabelle is to receive a proper education at the Olson Farm School for Proper Bovine Deportment. OK, there is no such school, but Annabelle is going to hone her abilities at walking online, staying back, stopping and going, and more. “Annabelle is being raised so she has good manners to be around students,” Burrum said. “Every year we see thousands and thousands of children out there. It’s free to the Auburn School District, so we see every first-grader and every sixth-grader in the district. She is going to be a big part of the program.” While people tend to think of cows as plodding

creatures, Burrum said, Annabelle – who should weigh between 900 and 1,100 pounds when she’s all grown up – has what farm staff call, “beast mode.” “When she gets out in the morning, she is on her line and she runs and gallops,” Burrum said. “You’ve never seen something run this fast in your life. She’s just full of energy, but she’s super young and already loves being around people … Her life is going to be filled with good food, good shelter and lots of loving children who are going to learn that milk comes from cows.” Burrum said it should take about $1,800 a year to cover her expenses. “It’s not much, but for us as a nonprofit, it adds up,” Burrum said. Wanna help? Just go to www.razoo.com, key word search “Annabelle,” and there she’ll be. The site offers people a chance to contribute funds to things the calf needs, from a bale of hay, to a bag of milk supplement to vet visits.

[ ALARMS from page 7 ] “I kind of have to politely remind them that this is one of the reasons we have this ordinance – that if you don’t maintain your equipment, you are creating an undue cost on the City,” Pierson said. The ordinance, Pierson said, is working just as it is because it holds people to task. “A lot of folks realize the importance of having an alarm system. And I think if we just went to the one (each year) and their equipment starts to go, they are going to be allowed to start that clock over again,” Pierson said. Police Chief Bob Lee noted that the ordinance requires alarm companies to train all of their operators in order to limit mistakes. It does this by requiring all alarm users or alarm companies to make two calls before calling 911: the first is to the location of the alarm; the second is a follow up to a second line or a cell phone to try to get Concerned about the increasing number of people found taking refuge on the streets of King County, United Way is committing $551,000 in crisis response resources and broadening the scope of its investments to more rapidly move people off the street. A total of $377,000 of the overall investment has been committed to Congregations for the Homeless, Auburn Youth Resources, and the Landlord Liaison Project at the YWCA. The remaining $174,000 is open for request for

hold of a person to determine whether the alarm is valid. “People need to keep their alarm company informed … so if you know it’s a false alarm, you can cancel that, and there’s going to be no charge,” Lee said. “There are some safety nets in there.” “There has to be some accountability,” said Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus. “If you are going to have an alarm, you have to be held accountable for maintaining it.” Committee Chair Bill Peloza agreed. “We are going to maintain the status quo,” Peloza said. The ordinance also: • Requires installers of new panels to incorporate new technologies into the control panels to cut the number of false alarms. It does not require a modification of existing panels. • Sets a $24 residential and commercial annual registration fee and a $12 senior discount. proposals in the coming weeks.

Freshman Brahm Trujillo led the way, capturing third at 120 pounds. After winning his first two matches by pin, Trujillo dropped a 6-5 decision in the semifinals to Sunnyside’s Jesse Barrajas, a four-time state placer and the eventual 3A champion. Forced into the consolation bracket, Trujillo responded with a 3-2 decision over Mount Spokane sophomore Alec Hoover and a 4-1 decision over Mount Si sophomore Eli Clure for third place. Sophomore Dylan Foley also made his mark in his first Mat Classic appearance, finishing fifth at 126 pounds. After a loss by pin to Shorewood senior – and eventual 126-pound champion – Matthew Floresca in the semifinals, Foley went into the consolation bracket, where he dropped an action-packed 19-13 decision to Decatur sophomore Leviticus Arizpe for fifth place. Auburn Mountainview senior Dakota Weir, a returning state competitor at 285 pounds, capped his prep career with a sixthplace finish in his weight class. After winning his firstround match by pin, Weir lost to Hanford senior Jeff Weyand by pin in the quarterfinals. In the consolation bracket, Weir defeated Lincoln’s J.J. Saili by pin

to secure his spot on the podium. “My goal my senior year was to place as high as I could place,” Weir said after his match with Saili. Also competing, but not placing, for the Lions were 138-pound sophomore Joey Santos, 152-pound junior David Boone and 220-pound sophomore Antonio Corea. Auburn Mountainview finished 16th in the team competition with 40 points. North Central earned the 3A team title with 108.5 points, and Decatur was second with 100.

Lions’ success this year, however, is rooted in the team’s finish last season. “I think ever since the end of last season we’ve had this in mind and knew how far we wanted to go,” said Samantha DePiano, a 5 foot, 4 inch guard. “I thought we’d get this far because we worked really hard over the summer,” Lion 5-7 forward Hammer agreed. “We only lost one

Former Seahwk Marcus Trufant to appear at Quarter Chute Reporter Staff

Former Seattle Seahawk All-Pro cornerback Marcus Trufant will sign autographs Sunday at the Quarter Chute Café adjacent to Emerald Downs. Appearing on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Washington/Alaska Chapter, Trufant will appear from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. For a $5 donation, fans can get autographed pictures of the former Seahawks star, and $1 raffle tickets will be sold for special Seahawks prizes. A Tacoma native, Trufant starred in three sports at Wilson High senior from last year, and she [Aly Carr] tore her ACL toward the end of the season. So we kind of started building this team then.” Auburn Mountainview cemented their team chemistry this season in December at the Surf N’ Slam basketball tournament in San Diego, where the Lions won their division with a 4-0 record. “There was a couple close

School and was a fouryear starter at cornerback for Washington State, including first-team AllPac-10 on the 2002 team that played Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl. Selected No. 11 overall by the Seahawks in 2003, Trufant starred for nine seasons with the Seahawks, playing on the 2006 Super Bowl team and was an All Pro selection in 2007. The Quarter Chute Café is at 2828 Emerald Downs Drive, Auburn. Open to the public, the Quarter Chute is connected to the backstretch and affords patrons a view of morning training. games, but we really came together as a team,” Coach DePiano said. “We were together as a team for five or six days, really just having fun. We went to Disneyland and the beach. Things like that. We became a team at that point, and we knew we could win some games.” “We got down there, and it was a really good experience because it was the first time we were able to just focus on being a team and coming together,” Hammer said. “We didn’t play well the first or second game, but everything came together in the championship game. That’s when we realized if we worked hard, we could reach our full potential.” “Winning in San Diego made the dream real, I guess,” said Samantha DePiano.

Marcus Trufant signs autographs at the Quarter Chute Cafe from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. this Sunday at Emerald Downs. Courtesy photo The Lions battled their way though the SPSL 3A regular season, finishing first with a 9-1 league record and moving into the postseason. “That was definitely a goal,” Coach DePiano said. “As the season went on, it become something we could do. At this point it’s easy to say we expected it. But I’m really impressed by them, so I don’t want to downplay it by saying it was expected. I’m really impressed by what they did to get to this point.” Although team chemistry played a crucial role, the continued improvement of several of the team’s athletes also played a part, Coach DePiano said. “We don’t talk about it a ton, because we like to stick to the concept of team, but their individual improve-

ment has been huge. There are a couple of kids that are absolutely better basketball players than they were last year at this time. The work they put in, it’s not just that we’re a great team in terms of chemistry, we’re becoming a great team with a lot of talented players.” This week the team enjoyed a rare break. After playing three games a week, sometimes more, the Lions have a week to concentrate on preparing for Sunnyside. “It’s a nice break to give our legs a rest,” Hammer said. “After playing Wednesday, Friday and Saturday they needed a break.” “It’s weird, it definitely makes the anticipation even greater, but I think we’re all ready and focused,” Samantha DePiano said.

Two old women forlorn sit on a park bench hewn of rough wood. Some brittle brown leaves make click click sounds, Flurry about, hug their booted feet. The women, tightening their shawls, huddle close together. The sun’s not shining; the skies severe grey. I like a deciduous tree winter day. The air’s clear cold voice: from far off a lone dog’s hard bark. Some man, shuffling along, claps his gloved hands, jumps up and down, Tries to tramp out the inveterate cold.

DOZEN SWORN IN AS U.S. CITIZENS Reporter staff

Amid inspirational music and motivational speeches, a dozen people representing 10 nations were sworn in as U.S. citizens last week. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did the official honors in a hour-long special naturalization ceremony last Thursday, a first for the Auburn Library. “We were always feeling connected, but now it’s official,” said an elated Ronny Zahavi, who joined his wife, Ruti, both of Israel, in becoming U.S. citizens. “I am proud to be an American citizen.” Ronny Zahavi’s parents came to the U.S. when he was a boy. His parents were training with a U.S. company in the software and hardware business at the time. “From the age of 6, I wanted to return and become a U.S. citizen,” he said. After living in other parts of the country and in Canada, Ronny Zahavi and his family found a home in the Pacific Northwest, where he recently launched his own software business. They are indeed happy in their new surroundings. “We came here for a better

the winter.” The Zahavis joined a group of individual immigrants representing China, Jamaica, Lithuania, Mexico, Russia, Slovakia, Thailand, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Two of the new citizens sworn in are active in the U.S. military. Dave Hill, Algona mayor and special guest, welcomed the new Americans. “I am honored to be here with you today,” Hill said. “We welcome you … we urge you to become active in your community.”

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.
