Rottles closes doors after 76 years

Excepting the last jackets, collars, shirts and cufflinks, scattered among empty racks, mirrors, tape measures and like fixtures, Rottles Clothing & Shoes was an empty shell.

Throughout Saturday morning and afternoon, customers kept dropping by to say so long to twins Jim and John Rottle and to scan what was left at the end of the store’s 3-month-long close-out sale.

Customers and friends, the Rottles boys knew ‘em all.

But when the big hand hit 4 o’clock, with a simple turn of a key, Rottles and its 76 years of service to Auburn passed into history.

Much to the regret of customers.“I’ve lived in Auburn for 25 years and

I’ve shopped here for 25 years,” said Auburn resident Lori Anderson. “It’s sad, and I’m going to miss them. They were so easy to work with. When I needed something quick, they were right there, nice and convenient.”

Susan, a longtime customer added: “It’s the end of an era.”

Too soon to talk about feelings, John Rottle said, looking around the store.

Plenty of time for that later. After cleanup, he said.

“It’s extremely bittersweet,” Rottle said. “For all the relief that we feel, the empti-ness that’s going to be presented by not serving the community is more strongly felt now than anything else.”

“Anti-climactic, quite frankly, but we achieved the goal we set out to do, and we’re ready to move on,” added Jim

An Auburn woman and her boyfriend pleaded not guilty June 25 to charges of second-degree murder for the alleged fatal beating of the woman’s three-year-old daughter in Auburn on June 9.

The defendants, Tatiana Baker, 21, and DeMarco Jackson, 24, entered the pleas at their separate arraign-ments shortly after 9 a.m. in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Baker and DeMarco remain in jail on $1 million bail.

The Auburn Police Detec-tive’s affidavits on which the charges are based allege that Baker and Jackson beat the child on June 9. Although in the early afternoon they called 911, they allegedly

misled police, medics, and firefighters as to their where-abouts, and over the course of the seven crucial hours that passed before medics and police could get to the child, failed to give her medi-cal aid.

According to the affidavits, they also allegedly lied to detectives repeatedly in the ensuing investigation.

When Auburn Police finally got to the child at 420 23rd St. SE, that afternoon, officers tried to revive the child via CPR before medics arrived and assumed treat-ment of the girl. The child was loaded into a medical vehicle for transport to a hospital, but medics quickly determined that the girl was dead, and had been possibly for some time, as her body was cold and showed post-mortem lividity.

Why an Auburn man lost his life after attending a Kenny Chesney concert in Seattle Saturday night is as yet unknown.

What people do know is that at about 9 p.m. in Seattle’s International District near 5th Avenue and S. Weller Street, Benito “Benny” Enriquez, a 31-year-old father of two young girls and a public health nurse in Auburn, sustained mortal head injuries during a fight with another man.

Family members later told King 5 News that by the time medics arrived, Enriquez had no pulse, and that he died later at Harborview Medical Center.

According to what family members told King 5 News, as the Chesney concert was ending, Enriquez announced he was heading out to buy T-shirts for his daughters and would meet them where their car was parked at 5th and King Street.

Before the assault, the un-identified suspect is seen

MISSING FIREWORKS?in police photos walk-ing with Enriquez and a woman. Enriquez was beaten on his way back to the car.

A K9 officer helped search the area, but the suspect was not found.

Police released photos Sunday and asked for help finding the sus-pect. He is described as possibly a Hispanic, Middle-Eastern or Pacific Islander man in his 20s, 5 feet 11 inches-to-six feet 1 inch tall, with a medi-um-to-stocky build. He

wore a black and white “trucker” style baseball cap, a white v-neck t-shirt and black shorts.

The suspect was with a white woman in her 20’s, 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build, possibly pregnant. She had long, straight blonde hair, wore a red, pink and white-patterned dress and car-ried a shoulder bag.

Anyone with informa-tion on the identity of the suspect, or of the woman, should call the Seattle Police homicide tip-line at (206) 233-5000.

STAFF REPORT

[email protected]

The Valley Regional Fire Authority’s recent decision to issue refunding bonds has locked in an estimated savings of $976,000 by lowering the interest on $9.9 million of its debt.

Eric Robertson, VRFA administrator, called that a win for taxpayers.

“It’s gratifying to be able to deliver savings to our taxpayers, who are a key pillar of support for the fire department,” said Robert-son. “A key goal of ours

is being good stewards of the funding our citizens provide us.”

The VRFA recently received a Standard & Poor’s Rating Services upgrade from ‘AA’ to ‘AA’ for its existing debt and for the Unlimited Tax Gen-eral Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2015. The rating has a stable outlook. The refunding bonds were priced by their bond un-derwriters and closed on June 10.

“It is our goal to prudently manage the resources our community

has entrusted us with, and refinancing debt at lower interest rates has helped achieve that goal,” said Algona Mayor Dave Hill, chairman of the VRFA Board of Governance. “Our timing in the market was very good, resulting in net saving of nearly $1 mil-lion in lower debt service between now and 2028.”

The strong credit ratings contributed to low inter-est rates of 2.18 percent when the VRFA’s bond underwriters marketed and priced the refunding bonds, Robertson said.

The bonds refunded $9.9 million of the VRFA’s UTGO Refunding bonds, originally authorized by the voters in 2008 when the VRFA formed in the amount of $19.8 million.

According to S&P. the upgraded rating reflects its view of the VRFA’s:

• Large and growing tax base;

• Good financial man-agement practices, includ-ing multi-year financial forecasting and a long-term capital plan;

• Strong cash positions;• History of voter sup-

port for fire benefit service charge and capital levies;

Strong available reserves that are likely to stay strong for the next five years; and

• Low-to-moderate debt, relative to the tax base.

The AA rating is one of the highest ratings S&P assigns to a special purpose district. Washington state has an S&P raring of AA+. The AA rating is defined as differing from the higher-rated obligations only to a small degree, meaning the authority’s ability to meet its financial commitment on its bonds is strong.

Lower interest on VRFA bonds saves taxpayers money

Rottle. “It was a win-win deal: people got good deals, and we needed to run out of everything.”

The Rottle family an-nounced the store’s pend-ing closure last April.

According to the broth-ers, Rottles, like other stores of its kind, had been struggling to keep up

with the larger, corporate, chain-heavy competition. The retail landscape of brick-and-mortar retailing had changed dramatically, they said, with the advent of Internet sales, big box stores and a general down-grading of dress codes.

“The fashion culture has changed,” Jim Rottle said in April. “Most of our key manufacturers are actually

competing against us with either outlet stores or sell-ing over the Internet. It’s making it harder for retail partners to survive. The intent may be to increase brand awareness, but they are taking the market share we helped build.”

The change in Rottles suppliers only added to the uncertainty. The store’s formal wear supplier in

Fife was about to close and the factory that pro-vided letterman’s jackets, a store tradition, was ready to shift its operations from Lakewood to Wisconsin.

The closure of the store ends a family tradition that began when Abdo, a Lebanese immigrant, opened a modest store in 1939, occupying 3,500 square feet, employing three.

When Abdo retired, his son, Don, took over the store in 1953. Nine years later, he moved the store from where the Auburn mini-mall stood to its cur-rent location. Over time, Rottles became the go-to apparel store, carving out a family-friendly niche with its customers in the teeth of larger competi-tion.

In time, the store underwent renovations and grew. Its inventory changed with the chang-ing tastes of its customers.

Just as Don did when he was young, John and Jim began to work for their father and learn the business from the ground up. As teenagers, they worked in receiving and swept floors. After each went off to school and

earned a business degree, they returned to help the family patriarch.

And they made it work.“We’ve heard a lot from

customers, and they’ve all been extremely grate-ful, not only in what we meant to them but also in that they understood our position and wished us the best,” said John Rottle.

“Sad to see you go, that was overwhelmingly the most-frequently-made comment,” said Jim Rottle.

Employees were taking it hard.

“It’s hard knowing that you’re not going to have a job, but at the same time I’m excited that the boys get to retire,” said Cheryl Gorrie, who’d worked for Rottles for almost 10 years. “But I’ve done a little bit of everything here, and that should give me an edge on finding a new job.”

Another employee, close to tearing up, waved off questions.

The Rottle family hopes to sell or lease the two-story, 15,000-square-foot building to a “viable retail business” to serve the community and its grow-ing, downtown residential population.

• Unique cars for viewing at the festival’s car show.

Police Blotter

FOR THE REPORTER

As the holiday weekend approaches, City of Auburn officials urge all residents to obey the statewide burn ban and local fireworks regulations.

Given the sharp increase of brush and vegetation fires reported by the Valley Regional Fire Authority this week, the report of an injured child from fireworks two weeks ago and the annual increase in calls for service to the Auburn Police Department, there is cause for concern when it comes to the safety of Auburn residents.

“This is one of our busiest times of the year,” says Assistant Police Chief Bill Pier-son. “Not only do we get an increase in calls for firework, but for assaults as well.”

Pierson credits this to the warm weather festivities that are sometimes coupled with alcohol that may escalate aggressive behavior. “Our call load will double or triple from a typical day.”

The Valley Regional Fire Authority reported today that it has seen a 370 percent increase in brush and vegetation fires this June compared to June of 2014. In 2014, the VRFA responded to 10 brush and vegetation fires in the month of June. As of today that number is 47 and it will continue to climb with the continued forecast for hot dry weather.

The brush and vegetation fires have ranged in size from small smoldering beauty bark fires to large fields and road-side medians. Some of those fires can be

Time to sack plastic bags

I believe that the City of Auburn should ban plastic bags because they cause so many problems, not just for the environment and animals but for humans as well.

To begin, the pollution and environmental harm that come from plastic bags is tremendous. Plastic bags are produced from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource.

On top of the fact that producing plastic bags con-sumes our limited oil supply, it also produces considerable amounts of pollution. And the bags are almost impossible to get rid of once created.

Natural Environment reports that “approximately 100,000 sea turtles and other marine animals die each year because they either mistake

the bags for food or get strangled by them.” There is a “plastic soup” patch floating in the Pacific Ocean, twice the size of the United States. The Independent reports that, “80 percent of this patch is plastic.

In addition, plastic bags should be banned because

they can’t be disposed of. The Wall Street Journal explains that “the U.S. goes through an estimated 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually.”

It takes a minimum of 500 years for plastic bags to begin decomposing, and even then, they only break down into tiny pieces that stay there for more than a thousand ad-ditional years. That’s a lot of plastic taking up space in our landfills.

I say it’s time we introduce an alternative to plastic bags.

The moment is finally here for Auburn to join numerous other cities throughout the world in banning plastic bags. Cities like Seattle, Olympia, Mexico City, San Francisco, Portland and many others have completely banned the use of plastic bags. Howstuff-works states that, “plenty of other countries have chosen

Some may remember the infa-mous Seattle billboard: “Will the last person leaving Seattle turn out the lights?”

The billboard appeared in April 1971 after Boeing shed 60,000 jobs at its Puget Sound plants. The col-lapse spurred the state to diversify its economy. Seattle, in particu-lar, has since become one of the world’s hubs for software, health care and life sciences research.

One of the key ways to stimu-

late innovative life sciences research is the Life Sciences Dis-

covery Fund (LSDF).

Established in May 2005 to help attract life sciences research to Washington, LSDF seed

money came from a portion of Washington’s share of the $206

billion tobacco manufacturers’ settlement with the states. Wash-ington was awarded about $4 billion, to be received in payments over time. That LSDF money then attracted $510 million in private contributions from corporations and foundations such as Bill and Melinda Gates.

So where’s the glitch? It is caught up in state budget nego-tiations in Olympia. Funding for LSDF is included in the House

budget, but it is missing from the Senate version, even though Gov. Jay Inslee supports its inclusion.

Funding for LSDF isn’t a budget buster; it amounts to just $19 million in a $40 billion spend-ing plan. That’s a fraction of one percent of the budget. It’s not that we’re short of money; state revenues grew by

Every year the VRFA responds to many calls for fireworks-related injuries. Many of those injuries are to children. On June 15, nearly three weeks before the July 4th holiday, a seven-year-old Auburn boy suffered injuries to his face because of a fireworks incident.

You can keep your family safe and still enjoy celebrating the July 4th holiday by at-tending a public fireworks display. The VRFA encourages families to visit public fireworks displays where the lighting of fireworks is left to trained technicians. There are many in the area. For a statewide list of fireworks displays and celebrations visit www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/docs/fireworks/fireshow.pdf.

If you choose to use fireworks, the follow-ing tips will help prevent injuries and fires:

Know and follow the fireworks laws in the area you will be discharging them. The cities of Auburn and Pacific only allow the dis-charge of legal fireworks between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4th. Algona allows discharge July 3 from noon to 11 p.m. and from 12 p.m. until 11:59 p.m. July 4, and from midnight to 2 a.m. July 5. Go to www.vrfa.org for more information on Algona, Auburn and Pacific fireworks regulations, including what fireworks are legal. Auburn has an additional resource at www.auburn.gov/fireworks.

·Read and follow all fireworks manufacturer instructions and safety recommendations. Choose a safe area to discharge them.

·Only adults should discharge fireworks. Keep children and other observers well back from the discharge area. Consider that sparklers burn at temperatures of about 1,200 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.

·Trim any tall grass close to buildings or fences. Clean all gutters and the roof. Move all burnable items away from homes.

·Keep garden hoses ready to wet down the discharge area and extinguish small fires. Have a bucket of water to place discharged fireworks in before disposal.

·Light one item at a time and move away quickly.

·Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse.

·Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

·Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

·Do no approach or try to re-light “duds.” Wait several minutes before disposing in a bucket of water.

Richard “Dick” RothRichard “Dick” Roth passed away

June 22, 2015 after a brief illness. He was born in Salem, OR on November 25,1930 to Marvin and Greta Roth.

He is survived by his wife Margy of 64 years, brother Ken Roth, children Ted and Louise, Gayle (Frank) Tissell, Stacie (Gary) Elliott, Bruce and Cindy, Candi (Jim) Ausbun, 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Dick had a resounding voice that led him to sing. He did so by harmonizing in Barbershop Quartets for over 30 years and directing the “Jet Cities” Sweet Adeline’s chorus for 15 years, winning regional multiple times and qualifying for the International show.

He was an avid Model Railroader and spent countless hours enjoying his hobby. Dick retired from West Coast Grocery in 1989 after 44 years and soon found himself wintering in AZ. He played golf daily, socialized, traveled the world and spent many seasons watching the Mariner’s spring training games. It was hard not to � nd him engaged in some sort of sporting event. We will miss him.

A Personal Call to ActionIn 1980, an African Amer-

ican woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes. Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal po-sition, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a bro-ken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft. 2” tall minister.

She remembered him put-ting his face close, his fists tight, as he knocked her to the ground. Her belly tight-ened with pain, fear, and dread for what he would do next. He yelled, “You little whore! Don’t you know I’m head of the house, and you have to do what I tell you! If you ever try to leave me again, I’ll kill us all!”

Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming. Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and re-sources she needed to be-come a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredi-ent in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right.

I was that woman, and you too can make a difference in your own life, as well as others. We all have a respon-sibility to take action to end violence, so that no one has to suffer the pain of abuse ever again.

If you or someone you know needs help, find the domestic violence program in your community by visit-ing wscadv.org or calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

You can also make a differ-ence by raising money and awareness for domestic vio-lence prevention by register-ing for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

Isn’t it time to have the

conversation?

$425 million in the last quarter.

Remember, LSDF fund-ing is money that the state put aside from the tobacco settlement.

Another major problem — it is small and easily over-looked. Lobbyists are not pounding on doors at the state capitol to restore it.

But for diabetics like myself and people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s, funding for promising start-ups must continue so they can keep researching new treatments and medicines.

A company like M3 Biotechnology Inc. may not have located in Washington if not for LSDF. It is an in-novative, young therapeutics company with potentially game-changing drugs de-signed to treat diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and ALS.

This fund provides a financial bridge from the challenging period at a com-pany’s birth to the time when those companies are more attractive to investors.

Supporters who have identified 40 companies in the last decade that have benefitted from LSDF grants point out that it has gener-

ated more than $1 billion in statewide business activ-ity. They calculate the fund shows a seven-to-one return on the state’s investment and has created 3,500 jobs and $67 million in health care savings.

Some may argue that our state shouldn’t underwrite life sciences research, that we should let funding come from foundations and corpo-rations. But Washington has provided incentives before – and they work.

For example, in the 1970s, Gov. Dan Evans (R) and the Legislature embarked on an aggressive program to clean our air and water. They ap-proved a sales tax exemption to offset large private invest-ments in pollution control equipment.

Then, after the 1970-71 Boeing layoffs, Evans and the legislature passed legislation that allowed sales tax defer-ral for manufacturers who modernized their plants and hired or retrained workers.

When Washington started competing head-to-head with Oregon for semicon-ductor manufacturers, Sen. Al Bauer, D-Vancouver, worried that without a sales tax exemption for new manufacturing machinery and equipment, Washington would lose those plants to Portland. They passed legis-lation in 1995.

In 1996, the first year of the exemption, an Associa-tion of Washington Business survey found that 141 small manufacturers purchased more than $250 million in

new machinery and equip-ment, and SEH-America built a $4.5 billion plant expansion in Vancouver instead of Portland.

Today, with the strong, worldwide competition for life sciences research, Inslee and lawmakers should restore LSDF funds because a tiny shot in the arm could make a world of difference.

not to ban plastic bags, but instead to dis-courage them through financial means, such as fees and taxes.”

If we all could make a simple change and decide to use a reusable bag, we could signif-icantly reduce the pollution that we emit into our environment. People often get only four or five items at the grocery store and end up leaving with two or three plastic bags.

People found ways to transport things for well over 7,000 years before single-use bags were invented. If they could do it, why can’t we? If we ban plastic bags, and begin using more environmentally-friendly alternatives, the outcome will be a cleaner, healthier, and happier place to live. – Andrew Fischer

We need a better dealDave Reichert owes the people of the 8th

Congressional district and Washington state an explanation.

In a trade deal that was negotiated in secret by corporations, and where corpora-tions stand to benefit most, why is it that job losses created by the Trans-Pacific Partner-ship (TPP) would be paid for by raiding $700 million from Medicare? Corporations have no right using Medicare funds to hedge their bets, and the people of Washington State deserve better than the usual “no response” from Rep. Reichert.

Medicare is an earned benefit and is vital to millions of Americans. It should not be used as the personal “piggybank” for Reichert and the Republican Party.

I am pro-trade and pro-transparency and accountability. Demanding transparency and accountability doesn’t make one opposed to trade; it makes one an active participant in

our democracy. I oppose the TPP and stand with the middle class, environmental groups, and trade unions over corporations.

Let’s work for a trade deal that grows our American middle class, protects our cur-rency, our human rights and environmental standards, and puts family needs above corporate profits.– Jason Ritchie

Uncle Sam closed the Pacific Post Officebecause, as I’ve been told, it has a fractured fraction for a zip code.Or was it because PostmasterGlenda insisted on an unlistedzip coded office.No more P.O. Boxes. Where’sour mail gonna go? Far awayfrom home I know. We’ll haveto stamp-peed to Sumner orAuburn and stand in line just tobuy a postage stamp. Oh my,I guess the “Forever Stamp”doesn’t apply to Pacific.Some patrons have had Post Office Boxes for so long they forgot they have a street addressand don’t even remember whatthe heck it is.Pacific has always been a healthyplace to live.

PUBLIC NOTICES

Most people know the Auburn Valley YMCA as a place to go to get a work out in, to participate in an exercise class, play some hoops, take a dip in the pool.

But for many, the Y is so much more than that: it’s a community gathering point, a central hub where you can take a class or plug into as a learning resource.

This past Friday, with the launching of its Family Fun Festivals featuring Latino culture, the Auburn Valley Y was also a place where you could learn about a different culture. Attendees were treated to traditional Latino food, music, danc-ing, a flag ceremony and a bit of soccer.

According to Kela Hall, the YMCA’s South King County Marketing and Communications Direc-tor, the event is part of

a planned series at the Auburn Valley Y.

“We’re doing different family fun nights at the Y, and every month we are having a festival, and this is the first of our series,” Hall said. “For this one, we wanted to celebrate the Latino culture and food. Especially in Auburn, there is a pretty high Latino population demographi-cally.”

Sandra Villarreal is part of that demographic. A program coordinator at the Y, she teaches an all-Spanish PEPS (Program for Early Parent Support) class.

She was among those eager to share her culture with festival goers.

“The purpose is really to get the community to enjoy and learn a little bit more about the Latino commu-nity, what we are, what we represent. It’s really to see a little about what we do and get together and enjoy.

At places like the Y, we see the Latino community and how large it is, but I don’t think everybody realizes how big it is; they don’t see us when we get together.”

Leadership Development Director Eddie Joseph added:

“We looked at all the different cultures at the Y, and we figured, people get to work out together and next to each other, but they don’t get to learn much about each other, so we thought we’d change that,” Joseph said. “We picked the Latino com-munity, which is usually pretty engaged, and in my experience really open to sharing their culture. They like presenting it.”

be attributed to fireworks, however, many are caused by carelessness with smok-ing materials, grilling and recreational fires. With a little extra caution and at-tention, many of these fires can be prevented, says the VRFA.

“We want Auburn to cel-ebrate the holiday and have fun,” says Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus. “We also want for everyone to cel-ebrate responsibly. I would

love it if our police and fire personnel were bored on Saturday.”

According to Assistant Chief Pierson, the 4th of July will be all hands on deck for the Auburn Police Department. Starting at 4 p.m., there will be 17 officers assigned to reporting dis-tricts handling 911 calls for service. In addition to those officers, there will be an additional 18 officers han-dling calls related to illegal fireworks, with an additional three traffic officers moni-toring traffic safety. Overall,

there will be approximately 35 officers working during the busy hours of 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.

City officials encourage citizens to leave the fire-works to the professionals and enjoy a public fireworks display. For a statewide list of fireworks displays and celebrations, visit www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/docs/fireworks/fireshow.pdf.

If you do chose to set off fireworks, the following tips to prevent injuries and fires are provided by the VRFA:

Know and follow the fire-

works laws in the area you will be discharging them. Auburn allows the discharge of legal fireworks between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4th. To view Auburn regulations and a listing of legal fireworks, visit www.auburnwa.gov/fireworks.

Read and follow all fire-works manufacturer instruc-tions and safety recommen-dations. Choose a safe area to discharge them.

Only adults should discharge fireworks. Keep children and other observers

well back from the discharge area. Consider that Spar-klers burn at temperatures of about 1,200 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.

Trim any tall grass close to buildings or fences. Clean all gutters and the roof. Move all burnable items away from homes. One stray firework can easily ignite shrubbery or other combus-tibles.

Keep garden hoses ready to wet down the discharge area and extinguish small fires. Have a bucket of water to place discharged fire-

works in before disposal.Light one item at a time

and move away quickly. Maintain a safe distance from fireworks display area.

Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when light-ing the fuse.

Never point or throw fire-works at another person.

Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

Do not approach or try to re-light “duds.” Wait several minutes before disposing in a bucket of water.

FOR THE REPORTER

The Mary Olson Farm reopens for summer visits on Saturday and will be open each Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. through Aug. 30.

Often called the “best preserved historic farm in King County,” the 67-acre farm, at 28728 Green River Road SE, comprises much of the green, forested east hillside that forms the Auburn Valley. The farm features seven fully-restored historic buildings including: a two-story 1902 farmhouse; an 1897 Swedish-style hay barn; and outbuildings constructed

around 1910 such as a smoke house, a two-hole outhouse, a chicken coop, garage and a weaving house.

The fully restored envi-ronment forms a backdrop for summer picnics and walks. Olson Stream runs through the farm and is the site of four runs of salmon each fall. The 100-plus-year-old orchard is thriving, as is the new farmhouse flower and vegetable gar-den, planted to follow the selections a farm wife may have made in 1902.

The farm also features historic variety chickens, the Nubian goats, Maija and Peach, two burros, Daisy

Mae and Donny, and two of the most friendly cows you will ever meet, Annabelle and Libby.

The farmstead offers interpretive signs that tell the story of the Olsons, the farmland and about preserving the buildings and environment. Together, they take you on a nice introductory walk around the farm.

Admission to the farm is free, but donations are sug-gested at $5 for adult, $2 for children and seniors, or $10 for household.

Now that two of this season’s three major Crossfit competitions are in the bag, all that’s left for Kevin Si-mons is the big one: the 2015 Cross-fit World Championships that start on July 22 in Southern California.

For Simons, a 27-year-old gradu-ate of Thomas Jefferson High School who qualified by finishing seventh at the Crossfit Regional games May 29-31 at the Tacoma Dome, it’s all about getting ready for the world games — four grueling days of various exer-cises aimed at finding out who is the fittest all-around athlete of all.

“We do weightlifting, gymnastics, running, rowing, biking, strongman equipment, they can throw anything they want at us,” Simons said.

For Simons, a Maple Valley resi-dent who trains at Alpha Strength and Conditioning in Auburn, his own workout gym next to the Auburn Gymnastics Center, the road to Crossfit began back in junior high when he begin competing in gymnastics.

After graduating from Jefferson, he attended Washington State Uni-versity, where he studied kinesiology and began weightlifting.

After graduation, he began coach-ing gymnastics at Auburn Gymnas-tics, and four years ago transitioned into personal training.

“Slowly it got bigger, and I realized that this was what I wanted to do full time, so I passed off the gymnastics team to someone else (and opened Alpha),” he said. “We’ve been open about a year and a half.”

Not long after that, he began competing at Crossfit and this year finished first in Washington State in phase one of the season, the online

Open, which featured more than 209,000 competitors worldwide.

“I ended up in 21st [in the men’s competition], first in Washington and second in our region,” Simon said. “It’s an online competition where they release the standards, and you can either submit a video or

you can go to a Crossfit affiliate and have it judged. But if you’re going to regionals you have to turn in a video of one of the events.”

Next came the regionals, and now it’s all about the world competition.

Unlike the regionals – Simons said he knew which events he’d be competing in about six weeks before the actual competition – he’s going into the competition without knowing any of the events.

“We come in blind for that,” he said. “Sometimes they announce a few workouts early just to get

people interested. Typically they tell you and you have an hour to strategize and go do it. But it makes it fun because right now I get to train for everything.”

Simons continued:“I’m one of the stronger

athletes in the competition, so I like the heavy events,” he said. “I like the more skilled events with gymnas-

tics, too. Don’t love the long workouts, but I’ve been working on that this year, trying to build my aerobics base. So it’s not as much of a weakness as it’s been in the past.”

Simons said he’s working out for six hours or more a day to prepare.

“I usually get to the gym around nine or ten,” Simons said. “Then I’m usually doing some type of intervals, whether it’s row-ing, running or biking. It’s about an hour and a half of that. I also do gymnastics skill work in the beginning there. Then it’s sleep, and

eat and come back and train with my heavy lifts from 2-4 o’clock. And then I do more conditioning at 6 o’clock and turn in about 8 p.m.”

Nutrition is also crucial, and Simons puts away about 3,500 calories a day.

“That’s about 400 and 500 grams of carbs, about 175 grams of protein, and somewhere between 60 and 90 grams of fat,” Simons said. “I track all my food, so that helps. I’ve always been heavy, so I’ve been trying to lean out this year. I lost a lot of weight before regionals, so that really helps out a lot.

I went from 95 kilos (about 210 pounds) down to 84 kilos (about 185 pounds). That was really helpful for the running and the gymnastics and all the body weight stuff.”

The Crossfit World Games begin July 22 in Hermosa Beach, Calif. and continue July 24-26 in Carson, Calif. For more information, visit www.games.crossfit.com.

stolen bases season record with 28 his freshman season. He needs a mere 11 stolen bases over the next two seasons to become the Spartans’ all-time stolen bases leader. And he is fourth on the school’s all-time triples record board with nine.

Casanova, who maintains a 4.0 GPA, majors in biology and was named to the Capital One Academic All-District 8 team this season.

A standout on the track, where he took second at the Iowa Intercollegiate Confer-ence Indoor Track and Field Championships 200-meter race with a 23.08 second time, he also helped set a school record in the 800 relay with a 1:29.19 finish.

Mayhem at the Amphitheatre

Above; moshers roam the pit at the Victory Records stage during Shattered Sun’s set at the eighth annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival at the White River Amphitheatre June 30. In addition to bands at the Victory Records Stage - they included Whitechapel, Jungle Rot, Sister Sin, Thy Art is Murder, Sworn In, Witchcraft and others - festival goers were treated to The Devil Wears Prada, Hellyeah, King Diamond and Slayer! on the mainstage. Right, Jessie Santos, guitarist for Texas-based sextet Shattered Sun, gets his headbang on.

REPORTER STAFF

Ian McFeron, a Seattle-based folk-rock singer-song-writer, and his band perform at the Auburn Fourth of July Festival.

The band plays from 3 to 4 p.m. at Les Gove Park, 910 Ninth St. SE. The event is free to the public.

McFeron will be joined on stage by longtime friends and musical accompanists Alisa Milner on fiddle, cello and harmony vocals, Moe Provencher on bass and harmony vocals, and Aimee Zoe Tubbs on drums and harmony vocals.

McFeron has released seven studio albums, with his most recent two, “Radio” (2015) and “Time Will Take You” (2013) having been

recorded at Studio G! in Nashville, Tenn., by Gram-my-nominated producer Doug Lancio (John Hiatt, Patty Griffin).

His musical style is a mixture of Americana, folk, and piano-heavy singer-songwriting.

In addition to guitarist Doug Lancio, personnel on the album are: pedal steel player Russ Pahl (Ray LaMontagne, Kings of Leon, Elton John), drum-mer Marco Giovino (Robert Plant, Nora Jones), bassist Chris Donohue (Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Ben Folds), pianist John Dedrick (Patty Griffin) and harmony vocalist Alisa Milner.

McFeron continues to per-form at more than 180 shows a year and travels extensively

throughout the country.For more information
