Labor Council issues resolution against Green River CollegeBY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

The Washington State Labor Council (WSLC) has taken action to re-establish shared governance between Green River College administration and faculty and staff and im-prove morale on campus.

The Labor Council approved a resolution at its annual con-vention on July 25, calling for the council to send a letter to Green River’s administration and Board of Trustees, and to “explore adding Green River College to the WSLC’s Unfair to Labor/Do Not Patronize list” if things do not improve.

The resolution comes at a time of high tension on campus, following the college’s decision on July 15 to cut two programs – auto body technology and geographic information systems – in the face of a budget deficit. The cuts eliminated two faculty positions, including one held by the faculty union president.

Faculty members claim the cuts targeted members of the Union Faculty

FOR THE REPORTER

An Auburn man and diehard Seahawks fan purchased a “We Are 12” Scratch ticket on July 24 from Safeway, 101 Auburn Way S., in hopes of winning big.

And win big he did.The man, who wants

to remain anonymous, scratched the ticket later that evening and realized it was worth $50,000.

“I called my wife right away and said, ‘Honey, you need to come home right now,’ ” the winner shared.

He said his wife came rushing home, and when he told her they had won $50,000, she almost col-lapsed in excitement.

“She couldn’t believe it. She kept looking at it, and eventually hid it in the closet,” he said jokingly.

The man told Lottery of-ficials he had purchased the Seahawks-themed ticket for a reason.

“Now, I’ll be able to af-ford season tickets. We’re also going to use some of the money for a down payment on our first house, which will definitely be

equipped with a Seahawks sports den.”

As for immediate plans, the couple said they are go-ing to celebrate over a nice dinner.

“We are thrilled with this win, and wish the Seahawks the same luck in the com-ing season,” he said.

Proceeds from Wash-ington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, which provides grants to college students statewide.

MASONIC TEMPLE ADDED TO REGISTERAuburn’s Masonic Temple,

10 Auburn Way S., has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Completed

in 1924, the two-story temple is historically significant for its

direct connections to the broad patterns of social history in

Auburn, according to the state’s Department of Archaeology &

Historic Preservation. The lodge, at one point, was an unusually sophisticated, urban

version of fraternal architecture for a town of less than 3,500.

It remains today the only fraternal hall in the city still in

its original use. Nala Walla of Harmonica Pocket performs during a Kids Summerstage outdoor music concert series at Les Gove Park last week. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

One drawing showed the building at 240 Au-burn Way S., its stairwells wrapped in cedar paneling, a brick layer screening its upper reaches.

“Reskinning” of the entire structure could start as early as next month, Lauren Flemister, an urban design planner for the City of Auburn, told City leaders on Monday.

And when Flemister put an artist’s conception of possible façade improve-ments to the Parker Paint Strip Mall, her audience gasped and oohed in pleas-ant surprise.

“Yeah, it’s a big change,” Flemister said.

Flemister was at City Hall to describe to council members just how far the Façade Improvement Grant Program has come since its launching in June. And, when possible, to show them where it’s all going.

Auburn has a lot of historic buildings, one-of-a kind buildings, family-owned and compelling buildings. And some of them could use a sprucing

up. By making grants avail-able to business owners, the City hopes to improve the appearance and feel of the City's commercial, pedestri-an-oriented core.

Flemister said the maxi-mum allowed to any one business is $30,500, limited to projects estimated to cost $50,000 or more, and one goal in the program’s first year is to achieve a bit bet-ter than a 50-50 match. She said the first $5,000 is “pure grant.”

To date, the City has re-ceived applications not only from the owners of the two buildings described above, but from: Hello Gorgeous, a beauty salon at 204 E. Main St.; the Masonic Temple at 10 Auburn Way S.; The Auburn Valley Barber Shop at 316 E. Main St.; Jason’s Coffee Shop at 129 A St. NW; Zola’s Cafe at 402 E. Main St.; the Home-plate Tavern at 144 E. Main St.; and Liberty Tax Service at 102 E. Main St.

“Theirs is actually re-ally small in budget, but I believe it will make a huge difference in how they are viewed from the street,” Flemister said of Hello Gor-geous’ application.

As for the Masonic Temple, which was recently added to the National Historic Register, its owners plan to restore the façade to its original condition.

“They want to put in wood store fronts,” Flemister said. “So, they want to take out all the improvements that have been made over time. They want to start on Auburn Way. They want to take out the storefront that’s at Hill of Comics and put in a wood storefront because they’ve found a design that matches the same era in which it was built. They’ve hired an archi-tect and an expert to ensure it is historically accurate.”

“With all of these appli-cations, do you see yourself running out of budget this year?” asked Councilman Bill Peloza.

“I think there’s a pos-sibility that we could run through the $100,000 this year,” Flemister answered, “But, of course, until these things are actually being built, I hesitate to say that. … Some of the project pro-posals we are getting are not insignificant,” she added.

As part of a fraud and identity theft ring, Junette A. Short victimized 44 indi-viduals in King and Pierce counties after obtaining sto-len personal and financial information that she used to make bogus checks and credit cards.

On Aug. 7 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, Superior Court Judge Laura Middaugh sentenced the 34-year-old Pierce County woman to seven years in prison for nine counts of identity theft to which she had pleaded guilty on June 30 and for possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, and an additional charge of identity theft from two separate cases that had been filed in 2014.

Among the many busi-nesses victimized were a Walgreens store and the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn.

When authorities caught Short in January of 2014. In the state’s brief in support of an exceptional sentence, Se-nior Deputy Prosecutor Mafe Rajul and Deputy Prosecutor Pete Lewicki argued for an exceptional sentence of 10 years in prison for crimes the state of Washington deems “a major economic offense.”

“The monetary loss was

substantially greater than the typical loss for iden-tity theft offenses. Short’s behavior involved a high degree of sophistication and planning, and the series of offences occurred over a long period of time.”

According to court records, as a result of Short’s behavior, one of her victims, since unable to obtain stu-dent loans, has been unable to return to nursing school.

According to court papers, Short’s boyfriend and other members of her ring – all of whom have since been arrested, charged and convicted – stole to obtain account information so that she could make fraudulent checks and credit cards. Most of the financial information and personal information stolen during Short’s three-month-long identity theft operation in 2013 and 2014 came from thefts of large residential mailboxes, from blue postal collection boxes in King, Pierce, Lewis and Thurston counties, and from vehicle prowls and residential burglaries.

Known amongst her as-sociates for “being good at making credit cards,” Short, according to court papers, had at her home a card embosser and an encoder, which she operated through her laptop, and a computer with a check-making pro-gram equipped with a laser printer that could print checks with magnetic ink.

According to court

papers, Short used the fake checks and credit cards at places like Fred Meyer, Tar-get, Costco, Walmart and the Muckleshoot Casino. Investigators found that between Nov. 22, 2013 and Feb. 16, 2014, Short made 26 fraudulent transactions using 10 different checking account numbers and eight different makers’ identities at Fred Meyer alone. The total loss associated with the 44 counterfeit checks presented at different retail-ers during that time was $7,473.91.

Telecheck reported $5,077.30 in additional fraudulent check transac-tions between Nov. 17, 2013 and Feb. 3, 2014. This figure does not include additional declined transactions of $15,307 or fraudulent credit card charges. The actual losses totaled $27,506, an average of $9,168 each month, according to court records.

When Short made the credit cards, she used one victim’s name and a different victim’s account information. In one case she used a vic-tim’s identity not only to buy items but to rent a car – she crashed it – and to identify herself to police.

On Jan. 22, 2014, officers following up a report of stolen mail contacted Short at home and found her with stolen mail belonging to 100 individuals.

A prolific identity thief sentenced to 7 years in prison Auburn Police responded to the fol-

lowing calls for service, among many others, between Aug. 3 and 10:

For around 28 years I have had the honor of serving this community through the commit-tee for Good Ol’ Days, Auburn Good Ol’ Days and Auburn Days, the original name from 100 years ago.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know four mayors, countless volunteers, community leaders and

top notch people who just seem to gravitate toward a place of positive influence and a welcome smile.

We have built leaders, con-nected people, assisted grow-ing businesses and taught youth the value of volunteer-ing. There are eight hours to

work, eight hours to sleep, and how you spend the other eight hours can change a life.

The committee’s motto has always been, “No biases allowed, and you must have fun or don’t do it.” We all play nice in the sandbox together no matter what because we throw a party for the Auburn community and its visitors.

In my first year I was a single busi-ness owner with two young children. I was invited to get involved by Gene Kasper, the Auburn Chamber of Commerce business manager. I

passed out flyers the first year, and at the critique meeting I shared some thoughts about parades, children and entertainment. Lesson learned.

When I was asked to be the festi-val director, I politely declined, only to find that Gene had announced my acceptance of the offered position in the newspaper. That is how we did it “old school” in Auburn.

The City of Auburn and I have been working together, forming a transition plan for the festival for a few years. My gratitude for their

Teachers deserve better pay

Regarding: Liv Finne’s guest commentary (“More spending in schools doesn’t necessarily improve learning”, Reporter, July 31):

Teachers have not received a pay raise for five years. The cost of living has increased 10 percent in five years. Teachers are getting a 1½ percent raise this year. Thus teachers have received an 8 percent pay cut in the past five years.

Research has clearly shown that small class size improves learning for students.

Forty-five percent of new teachers leave the profession after two years. The job is too hard, and the pay is too little.

Teachers are required to pay for the expenses of the union negotiating team only.

If you want to improve teacher quality, do what you

would do in your business: in-crease the pay of your workers to attract more able workers.

The providing of funds for supplies means that teachers do not have to use their own funds to provide supplies for your students.

I believe the legislators got a

12 percent raise this year.– Harold B. Valentin, retired teacher

Politics, spending part of education

Wanda Granquist said: “Let us keep the politics out of edu-cation” in her letter to the edi-tor (“More spending enhances education”, Reporter, Aug. 7). Public education is 100 percent political. The only way to take politics out is to end public education.

Even if all education were private, there is often politi-cal maneuvering within the private school administration. I guess the only avenue left is home schooling, which is not practical for all families.

Ms. Granquist castigates Ms. Finne but offers no evidence that Ms. Finne is wrong.

Marriage, belief and change

I consider myself extremely lucky to have spent most of my childhood in an amazingly accepting and loving church environment.

Even so, many months and countless hours were spent in committee meetings and bending over the church charter, which expressly denied performing same-sex mar-riages. Eventually, the congregation decided the charter did not accurately reflect God’s

love, and my community joined the ever-increasing number of churches that believe the idea of mar-riage in the church is not as limited as we used to think.

Marriage is a concept that has followed count-less civilizations and cul-

tures throughout time and is one of the few that will continue to go hand-in-hand with homo sapien culture as we expand on earth and into the heavens.

There are few things more beautiful than joining two individuals as one, to bring them together in union in love and before their god(s).

But for hundreds of years (some histori-ans say around 800 in Caucasian Christian culture) we’ve repeatedly denied, legally and religiously, the holy matrimony of countless same-sex couples who express the same love for their other halves as different-sex couples.

So, like my ancestors of old, I look around and ask, “Why?” Because there must be a reason why we’ve persecuted countless souls who only want to spend their lives with whomever they love.

I’ve yet to find an answer that satisfies me.One I hear the most is, “it is against God’s

word/law/will,” for these people to be to-gether in any fashion.

But I was taught God created us in his im-age, all of our perfections and all of our flaws.

I was taught of a Son who said the greatest commandments were to love our Lord and to love each other, and how we can’t love God if

The goal is improved education of students, not pay or class size. The biggest funding improvement for all school levels is elimina-tion of the federal department of education and shrinking of the administrative overhead within the state.

Please compare the salaries of the federal administrators and teacher salaries. Also compare superintendent salaries to teacher salaries.

The administrators do not teach any students, and in some cases hamper the teacher’s ability to do so.

The proof of Ms. Finne’s point is comparison of spending per student by each school district across the United States, and the achievement level of the students in each district.

I am certain that some districts have a higher achievement level than other districts that spent more money per student. Com-pare spending on education in the U.S. versus other countries that have surpassed the U.S. in educa-tional achievement.– Bill Malinski

Let state regulate, license guns

Last year 10,000 Americans died from gun violence.

One solution? Let’s have state-run gun shops, just as we do for drivers licenses.

The state could then regulate and license guns, just as they do for cars.– Jack Sheppard

Act now to prevent wild fires

From one year to the next, we’re now seeing wild fires more de-structive and dangerous to homes and businesses, including the loss of life to wild animals and man.

As we’ve seen this summer, California is a tinderbox, and Washington state will be one, too, if we don’t act fast.

Install sprinkling systems in the forests and wooded rural areas that surround homes and busi-nesses. We’re wasting a lot of water from the Columbia and other rivers by letting it run out to sea. Let’s use that water and give the weary and courageous firefighters a hand.

Hire workers in early spring to cut brush and grass and turn on the sprinklers to dampen the trees, shrubs and soil before the fire season begins.

Washington state is spending millions to fight these fires. There is no time to lose. We need to act now before its too late.– Gus Olivo

Allow college to embrace new trends

Local Motors can 3D print a car.Bon Vivant Elon Musk is

pushing new boundaries without combustion.

Google, Garmin and others have mapped just about every-thing there is to map.

Did it ever occur to an anti-quated, 19th century organization like the Labor Council that new technology is the way to go?

Why not let smarter people than labor bosses, who resist change, open up the curriculum to new trends offering exciting, new jobs and room for advancement? Look ahead, not back. Maybe it’s time to let go of old ways like auto body shop and geographic info systems.

You let go of the 8-track for something better. I know you did.

Then let Green River College President Eileen Ely position the col-lege by spotting industry trends on the upswing and burgeoning growth sectors with swathes of unfilled em-ployment slots. Let American inno-vators fill these with our graduates, not foreign-educated workers with visas who have the right skill set.

If the Labor Council so badly wants to maintain old technology, then let the Labor Council totally underwrite both programs. You’re rich.

If you love them so much, that seems far more reasonable than telling 400,000 union members to boycott the college in Kent and Auburn.

Instead, Labor Council big shots could warmly invite the 400,000 strong to pony up for auto body and geographic information systems since the communique seems like it’s being drafted.

I don’t know about you but I want to take a spin in something so creative Detroit couldn’t even dream it up or build it like it did in the good ole days. You’ll find me on the free-way of love next to the pink Cadillac.– Joy Etienne

we don’t love our neighbor.And I was taught that

above all, if God is per-fect, and God is love, then love is perfect, even with our human weakness and limitations.

So when the Supreme Court legalized all marriage

throughout the United States, given it was between two consenting adults, I finally saw our nation take steps toward accepting all love, legally and culturally.

The concept of marriage has followed us through-out the ages, and we’ve morphed this idea to fit how we see the world. Some

cultures have limited the definition of marriage to one man and one woman, despite humanity’s rich history of joining same-sex couples together in union before their laws and their gods.

But the issue surround-ing same-sex marriage isn’t just about the history of

marriage, or the history of religion. If changing culture were as easy as giving a small history lesson, there never would have been any controversy in the first place. What it comes down to is belief, and some people hold strong to the belief that marriage can only be between a man and

a woman.I strongly disagree.Any couple that comes

before God to be joined together in spirit, whether they be different or same-sex, are equal in every way, including God’s love.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s your privilege, and I think that’s totally chill. The legalization of all marriage doesn’t mean ev-ery American has to accept it straight away. It doesn’t even mean every church, pastor and priest has to per-form marriages that they don’t morally agree with.

The separation of church and state is a wonderful thing, and like President James Madison said, “Every new and successful example therefore of a perfect sepa-ration between ecclesiasti-cal and civil matters, is of importance. And I have no doubt that every new example, will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”

Long story short, govern-ment and religion function better when the two do not mix. The government’s job is to impart a legal and economic contract to those who want to be married before the law, and the church’s job is to present two people before their cre-ator to be joined together in love.

Sometimes the church and state agree, but not always.

So let’s at least have legal equality on Earth, and let God sort everything out later.

The only thing besides love that I believe is true, and will always be true, no matter how people feel, how they act or what they believe, is that we are all born equal.

And I believe He would agree.

consideration of carrying forward and keeping Au-burn Days safe for genera-tions to come is heartfelt. It is a big project.

The City has supported the event in so many ways over the years. There will be new ideas and energy for us to enjoy, and I will always be here to support the event in whatever capacity I am needed.

Their capable staff along with the festival volunteers will continue to give Au-burn a place to go in August

to meet their old friends, new friends, school chums and neighbors.

While I’m stepping down as director, I will remain a consultant for the festival. For me, it’s sad, but it’s time.

The www.auburndays.com website will remain as an ar-chive place to keep the history and photos of the festival. It will direct the event queries to the city website as soon as it makes sense. I will be forming a task force to help with the vast undertaking of posting old photos and such that relate to the community even beyond the festival.

See you there in the infor-mation booth at Main Street and Division this weekend.

Thank you one and all for the good times, fond memories and for the parts that you played making me a better person.

Connie Henke, the Auburn Days festival director, works and lives in Auburn.

the residential floors of the Trek Building, the five-story mixed use facility that opened this June on the site formerly known as the Cavanaugh Block on East Main Street.

Green River Cycle, a high-end bicycle-sale-and-repair operation, will be the first retail business to open on the Trek Building’s

ground floor. Lein said Trek’s owners have

told him they will also open a coffee shop on the first floor fac-ing East Main Street.

Commencement Bank has leased space in a new retail office building going in on Auburn Way North, just south of 272nd, anticipating a grand opening in the coming weeks.

In late July, Teutsch Partners,

LLC, began work on the Mer-rill Gardens Assisted Living and Senior Apartment Complex on South Division Street. Con-struction should take about 18 months.

Panera Bread, and Qdoba Mex-ican Grill plan to open shops on 15th Street Southwest, adjacent to The Outlet Collection.

Most, but by no means all of the news, was positive.

The number of single-family residential building permits the City of Auburn had issued by mid-2015 fell to 105 from the 164 the City issued in the first half of 2014. In monetary terms, that’s worth $8 million less than in the first half of 2014.

In the same time span, the number of commercial building permits issued rose slightly, from 205 to 207.

Meanwhile, the number of business licenses issued rose from 148 to 220, and sales tax revenue increased from $7.5 to $8 million.

Lein was optimistic that the number of single-family build-ing permits issued would rise by the end of the year. He said more builders are already going through the plat process, putting new product on the market that they had held last year.

and were an act of retaliation. Faculty and college representa-tives have been in unsuccessful contract negotiations for more than a year.

Ty Pethe, president of Wash-ington Federation of State Employees Local 304, which represents classified staff at the college, submitted the resolution to the Labor Council. He said morale and communication at Green River began to break down about five years ago when Eileen Ely took over as college president. There had been an atmosphere of shared governance and collabora-tion under previous leadership, Pethe said.

“She (Ely) came in, removed and turned away from that collec-tive decision making,” Pethe said.

Faculty filed an Unfair Labor Practice complaint with the Washington State Public Em-ployees Relations Commission in May and presented the Board of Trustees with two Vote of No

Confidence calls against Ely – one in 2013, the other in May of 2015.

According to the WSLC’s reso-lution, “The administration of Green River College has routinely ignored the voices of the students, staff and faculty of Green River College; further, by the advice of the administration, the Board of Trustees of the college has been complicit in silencing of students, staff and faculty.”

Pethe said he tried to improve communication between faculty and staff and administrators.

“I offered to try to work with administration to change it,” he said. “I tried to say we should go back to collective decision mak-ing.”

Pethe said the administration was not willing to work with him, so he asked the Labor Council to get involved.

“We felt we had to take an ad-ditional step,” he said. “We had to put more pressure on them.”

David Groves, communications director for the Labor Council, said in an email he expects the

letter to be sent next week. According to the resolution,

the letter will request “that Green River College honors the policy of shared governance, treat their employees with respect and dignity, bargain in good faith with the unions representing the employees, and support a posi-tive, collaborative workplace and will urge all of their affiliates to do the same.”

Allison Friedly, Green River’s executive director of college relations, said on Wednesday the college had not received any formal communication from the Labor Council, so she could not comment.

Pethe is optimistic that the letter from the Labor Council will open communication.

“I really hope they would reach out to me and work on it,” he said.

College officials announced in July they were developing a new prioritization process to deter-mine the viability of instructional services, student services and

institutional support on campus. Friedly said students, faculty and staff will be included in the pro-cess, which will be implemented this fall.

If college administration and the Labor Council cannot come to an agreement, the council’s ex-ecutive board could add the col-lege to its Unfair Labor/Do Not Patronize list, per the council’s constitution, Groves said.

“If no satisfactory resolution can be reached, Green River Col-lege would be placed on the list and the WSLC would publicize to our 600-plus affiliated union organizations, representing about 400,000 union members state-wide, that Green River College is unfair to labor and urge them not to ‘patronize’ the college by taking classes there, sending their children there or otherwise supporting the college until these grievances can be resolved to the satisfaction of the faculty and staff there,” Groves said.

[ RESOLUTION from page 1 ] Grant recipients must be prop-

erty owners or business lessees with written authorization of the property owner. All projects must meet code requirements, follow all local and state laws and all current design standards. Each site must be within the BIA and dues must be current, with no restrictions to site and no current code viola-tions.

Recipients must have no more than 25 full-time employees and cannot be in excess of 25,000 square feet of ground floor area.

The focus on the upgrades varies based on the category of the improvement, starting with improvements that can be done for less than $5,000, many of which do not require construction docu-ments provided by an independent architect or engineer and focus on immediate, eye-catching changes, such as painting, decorative lighting, signage awnings, permanent, af-fixed building decorative elements, enhancements or changes to trim materials of the building.

BY MARK KLAAS

When Delilah Jean Williams decided to weave environmental issues, sci-fi adventure, politics and corruption into a fictional story, she came up with something different, something new.

The Auburn woman spun a creative and clever, character-driven book that delivers many messages, one of which subtlety reflects today’s commentary on climate change.

“It’s environmental responsibil-ity and wildlife stewardship, and how they tie together,” Williams said of her recently released book, “Scorched Earth, Alien Wonders” (American Serengeti Press). “At its core, the book has a powerful mes-

sage on environ-mental responsi-bility and wildlife stewardship. … It’s a rich (book genre) field today.”

Williams, an en-vironmental jour-nalist, published author and political

activist, fused fantasy with ecology, scientific research with imagina-tion, into a futuristic, light-hearted, eco-adventure about hope, betrayal, love and enlightenment told from a non-human perspective.

The book asks the question: Can any evolved, intelligent race ever claim to be free of greed, cruelty and corruption?

As the story goes, Earth is a dying planet suffering from severe climate change and depletion of its resourc-es. Humans have colonized Mars in an effort to survive.

The journey is narrated by Cap-tain Stanley Memphis, who leads a small group of aliens masquerad-ing as pint-sized Earth critters as they embark on a mission to study how humans treat lesser beings in anticipation of man’s expansion into space, which is how morality is judged in their galaxy. But the routine assignment soon turns into more than alien interest in who might be living next door.

The cross-genre, sci-fi story, as Williams explains, appeals to animal lovers, science geeks, pop culture

fans and hopeless romantics of all ages.

Williams, a self-described “nature nut,” enjoyed writing a well-paced story line with a mix of intrigue, corporate greed, humor and unique plot twists that entertain and educate about the benefits of eco-friendly human and animal coexistence and cooperation.

Reviews have been good.“I’m really proud of the ending

because it kinda weaves everything all into together,” Williams said. “You have your corruption on both sides, and they kind of ask the question: can any civilized society, alien or otherwise, really claim to be free of greed and corruption and all those elements?”

think about whether I’ll be here or not be here.”

Jones has been a part of the community for nearly 35 years as a teacher, coach, mentor and leader.

On Saturday the com-munity honors Jones and his many contributions. He will be front and center as grand marshal in the Au-burn Days Festival’s grand parade that begins at noon on Main Street.

Jones has been a part of the Auburn High School staff for 34 years, having taught chemistry, biology and human survival for 12 of those years.

His career as the athletic/activities coordinator spans 22 years. He coached football for 21 years, 12 of which were at the helm of the Trojans.

He was also a member of the City of Auburn Parks Board for two years. He

has served as field manager for the Relay for Life – a fundraiser for the Ameri-can Cancer Society – for 22 years.

Jones has experienced the importance of cancer research first hand. He has been a warrior, fighting his own battle since he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on Oct. 1, 2013.

He continues to undergo chemotherapy every other week indefinitely.

“As of today, the tumors are under control, there are no new tumors, and I am doing pretty well,” Jones said. “Chemo treatments are hard, but I have learned to adapt, and they are a part of my new normal day.”

Despite his plight, Jones is upbeat.

“I learned to just focus on today, to take care of the things I need to take care of today,” Jones said. “As a result, I’m now 20 months into my fight.”

Longhorn Barbecue

BOGEY’S

TRIBECA SALON & SPAAN SALON

Sixty-six years later, the Auburn High School class of 1949 remains a tight-knit bunch.

Classmates – all well into their 80s – and their spous-es came together for their annual reunion on Aug. 6 at Longhorn Barbecue.

� e luncheon drew 26 from the original class of 132.

“It’s a wonderful group, one of the most loyal groups who have hung together,” said Bill Hollingsworth, a ’49er who lives in nearby Edgewood.

� e class is unique in many ways. � e ’49ers were

the � rst class to have an out-door graduation ceremony. All three schools they at-tended – elementary, junior and senior high – have since disappeared, torn down to make way for new buildings at the time.

“� ose of us who are le� do enjoy chatting about the town of Auburn when we were kids,” said Harold Olson, a retired CPA. “We’re a real tight group.”

� e class produced many interesting and notable personalities. Hollingsworth went on to enjoy a 40-year career in show business as a host for a variety of televi-

sion shows in Los Angeles. Al Rossi was a member

of a U.S. four-man rowing team that took the bronze medal in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.

Clayton Lacey was part of the Ford-O-Matics, a popu-lar touring singing quartet at the time.

Classmates shared stories,

photos and laughter. � ey described Auburn, then a small town with Main Street, two signal lights and three movie houses.

“It was like Mayberry,” Hollingsworth said. “It was a gentler, kinder, slower time. It was the best time of our lives.”

– Mark Klaas

80th running of the Grade III Longacres Mile

Records fall, women rule at Northwest NationalsREPORTER STAFF

Although Jack “Fast Jack” Beckman made a splash on Friday by becoming the first Funny Car driver to break the four-second barrier on the 1,000-foot drag strip at Pacific Raceways, it was the ladies of Top Alcohol who made the most noise at last weekend’s NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Megan McKernan in Top Alcohol Dragster, and An-nie Whitely in Top Alcohol

Funny Car, posted wins in Sunday’s finals, McKernan defeating Garrett Bateman for her second win of the NHRA Mello Yello National Drag Racing Series.

In Top Alcohol Funny Car, Whitely won her third NHRA national event trophy, defeating Shane Westerfield in the finals with a winning elapsed time (E.T.) of 5.546 seconds, at a top speed of 265.43 miles per hour.

When Stryker Phd takes to the track on Sunday to defend his Longacres Mile title, he’ll have more than just jockey Leslie Mawing on board.

The 6-year-old gelding - owned by Larry and Mona Hour and trained by Larry Ross - will be carrying the hopes of the Washington-bred Thoroughbred commu-nity on his back as he vies to repeat against a field stocked with gifted invaders.

Last year Stryker Phd turned in a magnificent last-to-first finish in the 79th run-ning of the $200,000 Grade 3 Mile, catching and passing Oregon-bred Boyett to win by a half-length.

In that race, Stryker Phd flirted with a track record, posting a 1 minute, 33.67 second time, just off the 1:33 set by Sky Jack in 2003.

This year the field is thick with talented competition - 11 horses from Kentucky, four from California and nine graded stakes winners.

Top among them are: Bob Baffert-trained Bayern, win-ner of the 2014 Breeder’s Cup

Classic (Grade 1); Sahara Sky, winner of the 2013 Metro-politan Handicap (G1); and Warren’s Veneda, winner of the 2015 Santa Margarita (G1).

For Stryker Phd and Maw-ing, as talented as the field is, it’s just more horses to chase

down.“He’s got a closing style,”

Mawing said.“His style is he likes when

there are targets in front of him,” he continued. “His heart gets bigger and bigger. That’s just his style; he prefers those targets in front of him.

No race is easy. If they were, we’d all be winning every time. But as long as there is a lot of speed, which there should be, there are always going to be frontrunners. And as long as they are there,

PUBLIC NOTICES

BY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

When people find out what Winter Lily O’Bryan does when she isn’t rousing Trojan spirit as a member of the Auburn High School cheerleading squad, most are surprised.

O’Bryan, a 16-year-old junior, recently completed her first season as a member of the Rainier Lady Highlanders Junior Rugby team, capping her rookie season with a selection to the USA Rugby Stars and Stripes Camp for junior players.Alongside teammates Hannah Lewan-doski and Alaina Valenciano, O’Bryan traveled to Boulder, Colo. where she competed against 90 of the best junior girls rugby players in the country.

“It was really intense, it was so cool to be around other

people that are so passionate about the same thing you’re into,” O’Bryan said. “It also helped to push me and my rugby career further. It helped me set goals for myself. It wasn’t just about playing rugby there, we had meet-ings about our mindset and nutrition. I knew I needed to go further with playing and working harder, not just train-ing, but in my mind and in school.”

An ex-boyfriend got O’Bryan hooked on rugby.

“I just really enjoyed watch-ing it and decided to turn out for the 15s [15 players per side],” she said. “I started a little late, but I fell in love my first practice. The adrenaline got me and pulled me in. I’m kind of like an adrenaline junkie, and tackling someone, there is no better rush.”

The camaraderie also ap-

pealed to her, O’Bryan said. “The sisterhood is great,

they’re all by your side,” she said. “Going in for a double-tackle or scoring a try [grounding the ball inside the opposition’s goal area], there is nothing like it. It kind of

changed my life and gave me something to wake up and do every day.”

After the season, she earned a berth on the North-West Logger All-Star team, where she caught the eye of Team USA scouts.

“I didn’t know about [being picked to the Team USA Stars and Stripes camp] until we were at a tournament,” O’Bryan said. “My coaches just told me some people were looking at us to invite us to the camp.”

The invite was also a first for Valenciano, a senior at Fife High School, and a newcom-er to the sport as well.

“One of my friends who is on the team asked me to come out when she saw me after wrestling practice one day,” Valenciano said.

No stranger to organized sport – she’s a veteran of eight different ones, including swimming, soccer, wrestling, track and field, power lifting and Brazilian jiu jitsu – Va-lenciano said rugby struck a chord with her.

“In the other sports there is not as much contact,” she

said. “Until I did wrestling and rugby. I didn’t realize you could actually tackle other girls.”

After her senior season, which begins after the New Year, Valenciano said, she hopes to continue playing at the next level, either at Life University in Georgia, Dart-mouth University in New Jersey, or Central Washington University, which competes at the NCAA Division I level in women’s rugby. Last season, Central finished as the national runner-up.

If she settles on being a Wildcat, she’ll again be the teammate of Lewandoski – a White River High School graduate – who begins college and rugby at CWU this fall.

This season was Lewan-doski’s fourth with Rainier Junior Rugby.

Have you ever thought of pre-planning your funeral?

Prior to Sunday’s finals, however, it was Beckman in the Funny Car division who was the talk of the track. He broke the track record on Friday, becoming the first Funny Car driver to post a sub-four-second finish at Pacific Raceways.

On Saturday night, Beck-man reset the track and NHRA record with a blister-ing pass of 3.912 seconds.

But in the semifinals on Sunday, Beckman suffered a mechanical breakdown – his engine dropped a cylinder – allowing Tommy Johnson Jr. to make the finals.

Beckman earlier won the series’ two previous stops at Denver and Sonoma, Calif..

“I started as a freshman,” she said. “I played football in eighth and ninth grade and a football coach told me to turn out for rugby.”

No stranger to contact owing to her years as a guard on offense and defense, Lewandoski took to the sport immediately.

“I love contact,” she said. “And getting those pads off was good. The pads are so hot and sweaty and gross. I felt like losing them made it easier to breathe, and you could run more and didn’t have to carry a whole bunch of stuff on you.”

Lewandoski, who wrestles and won the 190-pound Washington State girls title last year, was chosen this year to the Stars and Stripes camp for her third time.

She’ll wrap up her juniors career Aug. 18-23 at the USA High School All-American camp, where she’ll compete against the Canadian all-star junior team, along with

Valenciano.“I just keep trying my best

and putting in work,” Lewan-doski said.

The Rainier Junior Rugby club accepts players from all three Auburn schools, as well as from Enumclaw, Bonney

Lake, Buckley, Fife, Pacific and Algona.

we’re going to run a good race.”

Stryker Phd comes into the contest carrying a six-race winning streak, includ-ing a six-length rout in the Mt. Rainier Handicap.

And as good as he ran in

last year’s mile, Mawing – who has ridden the horse for Ross since last season – says he’s even better now.

“He’s definitely big, and he’s bigger this year,” Mawing said, “He’s very confident and very quirky. It was really just a matter of getting along with him and

finding the right rider. You need a little patience with him. If you get impatient, he’ll pull his tricks with you and freeze up and back up. So you have to be a little patient. I guess I was just the right fit with him.”

Mawing continued:“I know how far to push

him and when to let up. ‘He’s 1,200 pounds, and I’m 115, so I’m not going to win that fight when it comes to it. So I just try to go along with it.”

In addition to praise from most track insiders, Stryker Phd has become a fan favorite, even boasting

his own Facebook page.But none of that really

matters. It all comes down to

what happens on the track, and according to Mawing, Stryker Phd is ready to de-fend his crown and become the first horse to repeat in

the mile at Emerald Downs.“I like our chances,”

he said. “I’m 150-percent confident in myself and his ability.”

The 80th running of the $200.000 (G3) Longacres Mile is this Sunday at Em-erald Downs in Auburn.
