Community center plans put on hold By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Everybody agreed Monday night that Auburn should have a community center. For educational, cultural, recre-
ation and social activities and large community and trade events. Also, to answer a significant need for the southeast King County area, where there are no multi-service, community gathering spaces. Some day, that is.
But by a vote of 5 to 2, the Auburn City Council decided that now is not the time to advertise for bids to build the multi-million dollar structure long planned for the southeast corner of the Les Gove Community Campus.
Councilmembers Largo Wales and Rich Wagner, the latter chair of the Les Gove Community Campus Committee and the center’s biggest proponent, voted yes. [ more CENTER page 2 ]

Man sentenced to 19 years for stabbing death By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Bradley Courville grew up with his cousin, Quinn Oliver, on the Muckleshoot Reservation. The two were tight as brothers. But riding a sleepless nine-day, methamphetamine-induced high, hearing voices, seeing what wasn’t there, Courville stabbed his 26-year-old cousin to death in the early morning hours of Dec. 24, 2012. At the time Courville told officers he had killed Oliver because his cousin

But at his sentencing for second-degree murder in Judge Leroy McCullough’s courtroom at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on Friday, Courville said, with the clarity offered by two years of newfound sobriety, he really does not know why. “I just want to tell this family that I am deeply sorry. … I didn’t mean to do it, and I still don’t know why I did it.

Man shot in abdomen at Days Inn, listed in stable condition Staff reports
A 28-year-old Auburn man was shot in the abdomen at the Days Inn on D Street in Auburn during the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 4. Valley Regional Fire Authority personnel transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he remained in stable condition as of Tuesday afternoon. According to police, the unidentified man had entered a room shortly after midnight, where he met with two men and a woman. An altercation broke out immediately, and at least one shot was fired. After jumping from or being throw out of the motel room window, the man made his way to the motel lobby, where he called 911. When police arrived, the suspects were gone. As of late Tuesday, police still could not say why the victim had met with the suspects at the motel. Detectives wrote a search warrant for the motel room and were to serve it Tuesday. “There are no suspects in custody at this time, but we are working leads to identify them,” Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman said in a release.
Residents invited to neighborhood workshops
The City of Auburn is convening six neighborhood workshops as part of its “Imagine Auburn” visioning effort. The neighborhood workshops will give area residents and employees an opportunity to share and discuss their vision and goals for the community over the next 20 years.

Heavy rains brought part of the West Hill down on this house on West Valley Highway north of Ellingson Road early Wednesday morning, cutting it loose from its moorings. The damaged house is vacant and nobody was hurt. West Valley Highway remains closed just south of this location because of a previous mudslide that deposited debris on the road surface.

Councilman Wayne Osborne said that the City may not have all the money it needs right now to build the center and didn’t like the idea of spending $83,000 – “a significant amount of money” – to put a project out to bid only to find out the City may not be able to afford it. “We had three consultants estimate what it would

Wagner’s own estimate was $9 million, he said. “We are asking to go out to bid at a cost of $83,000 so we can figure out the actual costs,” Wales said. “It’s time to look at it and compare construction costs.” Wagner argued that estimates are always going to come in high, but the

ing hours of Feb. 26. According to the WSP, the 34-year-old man eluded patrol officers when they tried to pull him over for a traffic violation at SR 167 and South 180th Street in Renton at about 12:50 a.m. As the suspect was leading troopers down southbound SR 167 into Auburn, a WSP trooper deployed a spike strip and the driver ran over
it, deflating his tires near 15th Street Northwest in Auburn. At that point, the suspect suddenly swerved towards the median, hit a guardrail and came to a stop in the median. When troopers approached the vehicle, they found the man inside dead from an apparent gunshot wound. – Reporter staff

head, face and neck.” Here, according to court records, is what happened. Police were called to 4023 Auburn Way S. shortly after 1 a.m. When officers got there, Quinn was unconscious and bleeding from a stab wound in the neck. Officers and medics tried CPR but pronounced him dead at the scene. A woman at the scene told police that Quinn had come into the residence from outside after being stabbed and told her that “Red Cloud,” Quinn’s cousin, Courville, had stabbed him. Shortly afterward, Courville emerged from some bushes and identified himself to officers. When detectives asked Courville what had happened, he said that he had been experiencing “a spiritual moment” when he grabbed a butcher knife from the residence and walked outside. While outside, Courville said, Quinn had called him a “bitch,” so
“But for once in my life I can say I’m done with drugs, and I am never going back to it ever again. And that’s a promise I can make to you guys, and to God especially,” Courville said. McCullough followed prosecutor’s recommendations and sentenced Courville to 19 years, which is mid range for his crimes. Courville, 26, pleaded guilty last December to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement and to thirddegree assault because of his struggle with an Auburn police officer at the Auburn Justice Center after his arrest. “The defendant admitted to stabbing (Oliver) in the neck simply because the victim called him a name,” said Senior Deputy Prosecutor John B.

he stabbed him in the neck. While detectives were interviewing Courville at the Auburn Justice Center he tried to escape by assaulting officer James Hamill, who was guarding him, and during the struggle Courville wrested Hamill’s gun from its holster. Hamill, however, disarmed Courville before he could do any more harm.
Calm proceedings Comments of relatives on both sides of the courtroom were remarkable for their restraint and compassion for the long-haired man in the dock, sitting slumped in his chair, long legs extended in front of him, often with head bowed. As they grieved the life lost they also pleaded for what leniency the court could grant Courville and for the system to help him. Oliver’s own father asked that a no-contact order that had been imposed on Courville be lifted so he could visit him in prison. “When this happened … I not only lost a son, I lost a nephew because I haven’t been able to see Brad. It is my wish that you lift that no-contact order so I can see him again,” Brad Martin told the court. McCullough granted the request. Others noted that Courville’s father had killed himself when the boy was
9 years old, and that as the years passed, he tried to blunt the edge of his deep depression and self-hatred with alcohol and drugs. Oliver’s mother, Sherry Gomez, wore a shirt with her son’s picture on it. “Losing my son was the worst thing in my life, and it was a great shock to all of us,” Gomez said. “Quinn was no angel on earth — he is now. He had his problems and his flaws. But he was a good, loving man. He was a great son and a great uncle. We all miss him dearly. And I just hope that Brad can get the help that he needs, so that something like this doesn’t happen again.” Leah Courville sobbed for Oliver and for her own son. “My son’s a good guy, and it was drugs, it wasn’t him,” Courville said. “There never was a day that went by that he didn’t tell me that he loved me. He always hugged everybody. Even the family on that side tell me they know it wasn’t him; it was the drugs. And they tell me they’re praying for him. He’s looking to God, and that’s what’s carrying us all through. “A big part of us is missing too with Quinn because we loved him, too. He called me auntie … I know Brad loved him,” Leah Courville said.

for full funding in 2018.” – Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, on the Legislature’s latest revenue package pitch.
A Golden opportunity to say don’t text and drive The message was succinct and appropriate. Save It Seattle. The messenger was Golden Tate, the man with soft hands and big-play ability for the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Tate appeared last week at Auburn Riverside High School, surrounded by students, faculty and staff pumped up in 12th Man spirit and graced in blue and green. Tate was a special guest, a sports celebrity amplifying the cause for a corporate-backed mission – stop texting and driving. “So many things can go wrong … so don’t do it,” Tate urged teens packed inside the gymnasium for an afternoon school assembly on Feb. 27. “If I can get you some advice, don’t do it. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for somebody else.” Tate’s visit was the grand prize for Auburn Riverside winning the second annual Verizon Wireless Save It Seattle contest. The company’s online-driven awareness campaign challenged students at seven South Puget Sound high schools to take a pledge against texting and driving. Auburn Riverside students made the commitment and then cast the most pledges. The schools were Auburn, Kentridge, Kentwood, Emerald Ridge, Decatur and Todd Beamer high schools. Last year’s contest winner, Roosevelt High School, received a visit from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson after collecting the most pledges. Last week it was Auburn Riverside’s turn. “It was pretty exciting,” said Levi Durr, a junior, who got the chance to rub shoulders and take a photo with Tate before the assembly. “He asked me how I was. For him to come here with the this message is important. I think it makes a difference.” For Tate, the appearance was a chance to give something back to the community.

Open downtown parking for the handicapped Regarding Chase Bank’s parking spaces in downtown Auburn: Not only does the bank have several parking spaces on the lot the building is on, and granted, owns 16 more spaces alongside Safeway, but why do they need seven more spaces opposite the Safeway spots? Also, there is a need for more handicapped parking spaces. Some that are marked “3 hour parking limit” could easily be marked “handicapped permit parking.” Those seven could easily be marked that way, as most of them and the 16 stand empty. If it is in the interest of the “community” to make it friendly for parking, then this idea should be definitely considered. As a handicapped person, I ask this. – MaryClaire Powers

This was almost an impossible feat as there is no other exit. At the intersection, traffic from the right is heavy with cars coming from the Walmart, theater and Outlet areas.

To drive across the intersection from Wendy’s to Red Robin is “running the gauntlet.” If one wants to make a right or left turn at the intersection, you are playing Russian roulette.

argue that when hatchery fish breed with wild fish, their offspring don’t survive as well. But research by the Nez Perce Tribe in Idaho has shown that’s not always the case. The bottom line is that we will need salmon hatcheries for as long as lost and damaged habitat prevents salmon recovery. We would prefer not to rely so heavily on hatcheries, but today more than half of the chinook and coho harvested by Indian and non-Indian fishermen come from hatcheries. We’ve become dependent on the fish produced in

hatcheries because we are losing the battle to recover naturally spawning salmon and their habitat. I think we are going to rely on hatcheries for quite some time, because salmon habitat is being lost and damaged faster than it can be restored and protected, and the trend isn’t improving. While we celebrate this year the 40th anniversary of the Boldt decision in U.S. v. Washington, we’re also marking the 40th anniversary of the federal Endangered Species Act. The ESA is supposed to help recover threatened wild salmon stocks, but that’s not happening because the law is not being used to protect salmon habitat and ensure that recovery plans are being implemented. That’s why we are also marking the 15th anniversary of the 1999 ESA listing of Puget Sound chinook, Hood Canal summer chum
and Lake Ozette sockeye. Puget Sound steelhead were added to the list in 2007. While some stocks of Hood Canal summer chum are showing signs of recovery, Puget Sound coho are now a candidate species for listing. Even closing all hatcheries and ending all fisheries would not bring back the salmon. That’s because fixing and protecting habitat are the most important components of salmon recovery. From the beginning to the end of the salmon’s life cycle, it is the overall quantity and quality of habitat that determine the strength of the resource. It’s one thing to restore salmon habitat. It is another to protect it. If we want salmon in our world to thrive once again, we must do both.

Welcome: The Seahawks’ Golden Tate enters Auburn Riverside’s gymnasium, prepared to break a banner before the start of an assembly. Below, Tate joins ASB president Drew Wallen, the emcee, at the assembly.
RACHEL CIAMPI PHOTOS
GOLDEN VISIT TO AUBURN RIVERSIDE Seahawk warns teens of the dangers of texting and driving [ klaas from page 5 ] The message was clear. “You can do literally everything on a Smartphone. That’s a temptation in itself,” Tate said. “But when it comes to texting and driving, it can wait. … Even a simple message can end badly. … Those are things we can avoid.” A 2011 study finds nearly half of U.S. high school students aged 16 or older reported texting or emailing while driving in the past 30 days. Texting while driving was also found to be positively associated with other risky motor vehicle behaviors, says the American Academy of Pediatrics. Texting while driving has now replaced drunken driving as the No. 1 cause of teenage deaths on the road in the U.S., new research has found. The study, undertaken by the Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York, found that more than 300,000 teens are injured and more than 3,000 die each year as a result of sending text messages while
behind the wheel. Tate warns teens to do the right thing when taking the wheel. “If it’s that important, pull over and text or pull over and make the call,” he said. “It’s easy to say, ‘No, I’m not going to text’ …. I know it’s tough, but it’s something everyone can work on.” Tate also hopes the Seahawks will work out a new contract when the free agency season officially begins Saturday. He was asked: Can Seattle save Tate? The four-year NFL wide receiver hopes so. The Seahawks face difficult roster decisions as the world champions wrestle with the salary cap. The team must decide whether to re-sign several young free agents, notably Tate, fellow wideout Doug Baldwin and defense lineman Michael Bennett. Tate is unsure about his future. He led the Seahawks with 64 receptions for 898 yards and five touchdowns in 2013. “I’m just enjoying being a world champion.
I have tremendous faith that everything is going to work out regardless if it’s here or somewhere else,” Tate said in a pre-assembly news conference at Auburn Riverside. “I really can’t worry about it because I did my part, the tough part, performing on the field. “Hopefully I can call Seattle home for a few more years, but we will see,” Tate said. “I know Coach (Pete) Carroll has expressed that he would like to have me on the team, and I’ve expressed I’d like to stay on this team because I see this team winning for a long time. We’ll see. Only time will tell.” Free agency has never been too kind to a champion’s roster. The Baltimore Ravens lost eight starters after winning the 2013 Super Bowl. “The sad part about the Super Bowl is looking in that locker room (and knowing) it’s never going to be the same. Never,” Tate said. “You’re going to lose coaches, lose players. It’s just the game. It’s tough, but it is what it is.” With negotiations loom-
ing, Tate has stayed busy in February. He recently joined teammates in Brazil to participate in a camp to teach children football fundamentals. He was honored in his hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn. When Verizon Wireless came calling, he gladly appeared in Auburn, spreading an important message. He basked in the glow, spent time high-fiving students, signing autographs and leading cheers. He handed out “Golden” Globes at the assembly, recognizing student and staff achievements. “This is important,” he said. “It’s a small way to give back.” Verizon Wireless officials hope to continue the awareness campaign next year. Elona Zadneprovoskyaka, a sophomore, came away impressed. “Having someone like him here makes you listen to what he has to say,” she said. “It most likely will have an effect on me.”

Instructor George Comollo said there is a growing need for pilots in the industries, and he used Boeing Aerospace, which produces one 787 Dreamliner every three days to meet a demand for more than 1,000 planes, as an example. “If you look at the demographics of the pilots, as George says, they’re getting older,” said Josh Clearman, dean of Green River technical programs. According to Clearman, airline companies realize that a large manpower gap is coming, as many pilots approaching retirement ages find their stock portfolios

Pilots aren’t limited to working for passenger services. One student may train on fixed wing craft to work for a major airline, whereas another may train on helicopters or commercial transport planes. Peterson, who hopes to work in Alaska, is training to be a bush pilot. GRCC offers training for the three different pilot licenses – private, commercial, and air transport – and side certifications for multi engine, instructor, and instrument ratings.

It’s not like you have a slow educational process to get you to that level of knowledge and understanding.” Comollo said that the most successful pilots have a strong logical mindset that can process the methodical steps that flight schools require. One of the hardest classes, Peterson and Watson agree, is instrument reading, and they don’t expect it to get easier. Each class gets more in depth, says Peterson. For private license training, students only learn

what each instrument does, but for other classes, such as the instruments course, they have to learn precisely how the instrument functions on a mechanical and physical level. While flying can be an exciting career, prospective pilots shouldn’t jump into flying for the money. According to several sources, pilots may expect to make less than $40,000 a year in their first years of flying, whereas the average cost of training runs in excess of $80,000. The ratio of wages to the program’s high costs has turned many potential students away, and has contributed to the workforce shortage projected in the coming years. Still, for the chance to have an office with a window at 35,000 feet, the risks might be worth the rewards.

The Washington State Senate last week honored the Miss Auburn Scholarship Program in a resolution sponsored by Sen. Joe Fain (R-Auburn). Miss Auburn Jacque Guyette and Miss Auburn President Tamie Bothell visited the Capitol on Feb. 28 as Fain’s guests while the Senate recognized the program’s community outreach and scholarship opportunities for local students. “The Miss Auburn Scholarship Program does incredible good for young women in our community and serves as an example throughout
the country,” said Fain, who previously served as a judge for the competition. “Not only does the program provide increased opportunities for higher education but it also provides young women from South King County with the opportunity to become more civically engaged and develop leadership skills. I was pleased to be able to recognize Miss Guyette’s accomplishments here in front of the entire state.” Guyette, born and raised in Auburn, attended Auburn Riverside High School and is now a senior at the University of Washington.

On Jan. 24, Pacific residents who park RVs or trailers in their front yards got an ultimatum – move 'em, or face the consequences. The ultimatum came in the form of a letter, which Mayor Leanne Guier directed the City’s code enforcement department to hand deliver to 70 homes. The letters referenced a more than 40-year-old ordinance in the Pacific Muncipal Code that bans “motor homes, vacation trailers, boat trailers, camperettes and all other vehicles not in daily use” from being parked in front yards for more than 48 hours. One of those who got a letter was Councilmember Gary Hulsey, who parks his
motor home in his front yard. Soon after the letters went out, Husley said, he became a focal point for riled residents. “There have been about 15 citizens who have come to my door,” Hulsey said. “They are upset, and a couple have threatened lawsuits.” In response to the hubbub, the city council directed that the ordinance be sent to the governance committee for reworking and retooling and then brought back before the council. “It will not be enforced until we can do some revising of the code,” Hulsey said. “(The council) wants it to go back to the governance committee. Most of the council agreed it’s a bad ordinance.” The intial impetus for the letters reflected Guier’s concern that a large recreational
vehicle parked in front of a house might limit the line of sight for someone pulling out from a driveway and pose a safety hazard to someone walking or riding by. So, to stave off the worstcase scenario — an injury to someone that could result in a lawsuit against the City — Guier ordered the hand delivery of 70 letters. According to Building and Code Official Ken Barnett, the City's enforcement of the ordinance is nothing new. “It’s been enforced, we’ve just done it incorrectly,” he said. “It had been enforced on a complaint-by-complaint basis, but the [City] attorney made it clear that if you enforce it with one person, you have to enforce it with everyone.” After delivering the notices, the City informed
residents via its Web site and its informational TV Channel 21 that the violations would not be enforced until the council has had time to review the ordinance. For Hulsey, it comes down to a basic property rights issue and making sure the ordinance does not single out any class of resident. “I’m not sure how we modify that without it being arbitrary and capricious and not targeting a certain class of people,” he said. “It hasn’t been enforced before because it’s arbitrary and capricious. They’ll have to put in all kinds of obstructions, buildings, hedges, sheds, the whole shot. “And there has to be an objective issue; it can’t be something that might happen,” he added. “There has never been an incident
involving obstructed vision (in Pacific).” Hulsey said the ordinance also needs to be moved to the section of the Pacific Municipal Code that deals with health and safety concerns, rather than zoning. “If they’re claiming it’s a safety issue, it should not be in zoning and land use,” he said. “It needs to be repealed from the zoning section and modified considerably.” Hulsey said he hopes that residents of Pacific turn out at the March 10 City Council meeting to say what they think. “I would like to get some more input from the citizens,” he said. The Pacific City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Pacific City Hall at 100 3rd Ave. S.E.
Pacific residents voice concerns to Rep. Roger Freeman By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Pacific residents got to sit down and talk with 30th District Rep. Roger Freeman (DFederal Way) last Saturday as part of the Community Social Gatherings. Residents raised issues ranging from health and human service funding to transportation, but Freeman said he believes marijuana legalization is forefront on his constituents’ minds. “I think the biggest issue is marijuana, how it’s going to be regulated, how it’s going to be dispensed, how it’s going to impact local communities and whether the cities have a choice,” Freeman said after the meeting. “They want to know whether it will come
to their town. And that’s a concern for me as well. (The Legislature) is still in the process of ironing all those issues out. If we’re still working on it, I can understand why cities are concerned about the issue as well. For me, it’s my job to really understand the legislation and report back to the cities before we pass a bill.” Pacific has an interim zoning ordinance that temporarily bans the licensing of marijuana businesses in the community. Freeman said he understands the concerns of residents. “Most of the communities that have bans on marijuana are in south King County because we’re concerned who the clientele is going to be, who the producers are going
to be, and what the impact is going to be to police forces.” After the meeting, Freeman toured Pacific City Hall with Mayor Leanne Guier, getting a look at the building’s state of disrepair. “The people who are government, like the mayors, every mayor needs revenue,” he said. “The reason I’m taking a tour of this building (Pacific City Hall) is that I can see there are repairs that are not in the budget. So the mayors are really asking the state for assistance. And that’s why it’s important to grow the economy, so we can put money back into small communities. They don’t have the revenue to afford these capital improvements, and we have to answer to those concerns.”
Rep. Roger Freeman and his wife, Sonya Freeman, listen to Pacific resident’s concerns on Saturday. Shawn Skager Auburn Reporter

Lion girls mauled by Grizzlies By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Auburn Mountainview pushed the state’s fourthranked Sunnyside to the brink before falling 61-45 in a 3A regional girls basketball playoff at Eisenhower High School in Yakima last Saturday. The Lions finished the season 20-6, a win shy of reaching the eight-team state tournament. The Lions found themselves in trouble early against the run-andgun Grizzlies (21-3) and trailed by as much as 16 points in the second half. But Auburn Mountainview mounted a comeback. A 14-3 run in the closing moments of the third period and the beginning of the fourth brought the Lions back to life and within four points of Sunnyside, 45-41. The Grizzlies, however, found their stride again in the final minutes, shutting down the Lions’ offense and posting a 16-4 run to finish the game. “We made a good run of it and cut it down to four points,” Auburn Mountainview coach Dustin DePiano said. “I thought we had the momentum. But we missed a couple shots and they made a couple shots. It was fun for the girls though. Sunnyside had a huge crowd so that

Auburn-area youth football players and cheerleaders have a new option this year with the formation of the Auburn Riverside Youth Football and Cheer organization. The group will offer five football teams and a cheer squad for local children from first to eighth grade beginning this spring. The teams will compete in the Nisqually Junior Football League along with teams from Puyallup, Fife, Kent, Auburn, Buckley and Tacoma. “We’re going to have five teams, divided into first and second grade, third and fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, and seventh and eighth grade teams, as well as a cheer squad,” said the organization’s president, Adam Martinson. The notion to form a new organization to offer football and cheer to Auburn kids started during last year’s youth football season, when Martinson was involved with the already established Auburn Youth Football. “I felt that there was a better way to teach youth football and bring family and community together all year round,” Martinson said.

According to Martinson, his dissatisfaction with AYL was mirrored by several other parents. “I felt it was better to start something different and not change what was there,” he said. “My mission for this organization is for it to be a better organization than any other out there.” Martinson added: “I respect what they do, I think we just have a different way of coaching and teaching,” he said. “It’s not always about winning a championship, it’s about teaching the kids to love the game of football.” Martinson, who grew up playing football in the Bothell area and for Inglemoor High School in the [ more Ravens page 15 ]

But he’s consoled by the fact that this year’s senior group has set a standard for the talented class of freshman who will carry the banner next season. “These seniors showed what chemistry and hard work can do,” he said. “Not too many people would have said they were a talented team before. But they worked hard and became a talented team. The younger kids will benefit by seeing how well we got along and the fun we had while working.”
[ Ravens from page 14 ] 1980s, said he hopes to share the love he gained for the sport with youth in the Auburn area, which he says is underserved. “There are 14 grade schools in the Auburn district and four middle schools,” he said. “In the Dieringer district there are two grade schools and a middle school. There are almost 10,000 kids in these schools.
DePiano named SPSL 3A Coach of the Year By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Dustin DePiano, who led the Auburn Mountainview girls to a league title and the regional playoffs, has been named the South Puget Sound League 3A Coach of the Year. In his first season with the program, DePiano’s Lions captured the SPSL 3A title with a 9-1 record, 20-6 overall, and guided them to within a win of the state tournament. “I was at the meeting so it was good to hear, I was excited,” DePiano said. “I think of it more as a team award, though. Having a talented team makes getting that award much easier. And having all the assistant coaches helping out, it’s really more of a team award, and looking at it that way I’m really glad.” The SPSL 3A also honored seniors Samantha DePiano and Allison Hammer, with first-team all-league selections. Seniors Kaitlyn Jensen and Maddie Taylor were named to the second team and sophomores Brianna Zaragoza-Jones and Elli Alfrey were chosen as honorable mentions. To only have 150 kids playing for one organization is not enough.” Martinson said he’s hoping to field teams with 35-40 kids per squad and attract up to 80 participants for the cheer squad. The organization hosted the first of several parent meetings this past Friday at Auburn Riverside High School, and Martinson said 38 kids have already signed up.

“Anyone can register online and we’re going to have some other registration dates soon,” he said.

of their assistant coaches, Rodche Miller the JV head coach and linebacker coach, is our vice president.” Martinson said he also believed the success of the Auburn Riverside varsity program and the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks would help boost numbers for the new organization. “Football is on everybody’s mind,” he said. “We didn’t know how their (the Ravens’) season or the
Members of the Auburn and Auburn Riverside girls basketball teams were honored this past week with selections to the All-South Puget Sound League North 4A teams. For the Ravens, 5-foot6 senior guard Brittni Williams was selected to the league’s second team. Williams led the Ravens in scoring with 9.3 points per game. Named as honorable mentions from Auburn Riverside were 6-0 senior forward Simona Allen (8.3 ppg), 5-5 freshman guard McKenzi Williams Seahawks’ were going to go, but both of those have played into this. We’re getting parents who are saying, ‘We never even knew our kid wanted to play football before this year.’” The organization will charge $350 per player to participate this season, with $50 refundable after turning in pads and helmet. The jerseys, with players names on back, will be the players to keep, Martinson said.
(8.4 ppg) and 5-7 senior forward Emily Vaines (5.0 ppg). The Ravens, under firstyear coach Derek Pegram, finished the season with a 7-7 league record, good for fifth place in the SPSL North 4A. The Ravens played through the third round of the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 4A tournament, finishing the season with a 12-11 overall record. For Auburn, 5-6 senior guard Seandalynn Faleagafulu (7.0 ppg) was an honorable mention. The Trojans finished the season with a 2-17 overall record, ninth in the SPSL North 4A. Cheer will cost $300 per participant and includes a cheer pack including skirt, pompom and bag. Martinson said payment plans and financial arrangements can be made for players in need. The key, he said, is to attract players. “I just want people to know there is a good youth program and cheer organization to be a part of,” he said.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.
