The Pierce County Superior Court has ordered Pacific Mayor Cy Sun to begin the process of hiring for eight vacant City staff positions, and lift the hiring freeze on the Pacific
Police Department, or appear before the court on Monday to explain his refusal to do so.
An Alternative Writ of Mandate is-sued by the court last week also orders Sun to cooperate with an ongoing King County Sheriff’s office investigation into whether he destroyed City docu-
ments, to cease and desist any retali-ation or hostile behavior toward City employees and immediately provide required oversight and management of funded-City construction projects.
The City turned to the court last week, petitioning for the mandate to

Family, friends recall spirited woman, teacherBy SHAWN SKAGER
They came to remember and celebrate the life of Stacy Ankerfelt.
They came by the hun-dreds, packing the 400-seat Auburn Riverside Theater beyond capacity on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
They came to remember the 28-year-old Auburn Riv-erside High School graduate as a friend who had a knack for making everyone in her life feel special.
They came to celebrate the impact she had as a fifth-grade teacher at Scenic Hill
Elementary School in the Kent School District.
And they came to remem-ber her as a sister, a wife, a daughter, a friend.
“Obviously, with this hall this full, it’s a testament to how great of a gal Stacy was,” her husband, Jason Anker-felt, said at last Saturday’s memorial. “And how she’ll continue to be wonderful through us.”
On July 19, Ankerfelt was struck by a car driven by Samuel Cruz. Cruz, allegedly under the influence of a pre-scription drug, hit Ankerfelt as she stood alongside her car outside her Auburn home.
Ankerfelt was in intensive care at Harborview Medical

Two dates have come and gone for the A-B Street corridor to open, and it is not.
What gives?The holdup is Burlington North-
ern Santa Fe Railroad’s last-minute
demand for a fully-signalized railroad crossing over the spur between the parts of one company’s operation.
Twice a week, typically between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., Mohawk North-ern Plastics, which does business as AMPAC at 701 A St. NE, transports
loads of chemicals over a private railroad spur from one part of its plant to another.
The private crossing must be changed to a public crossing. At this moment, Mohawk Northern Plastics, which built its

Center in Seattle for a month after sustaining mul-tiple skull fractures, broken ribs and a cerebral hemor-rhage. She died Aug. 20.
Cruz has been charged with vehicular homicide and is in jail on $250,000 bail.
Last Saturday, however, nobody came to remem-ber how Ankerfelt passed. They talked instead about how she lived and how she will continue to live through the impact she
had on those who knew her.
After playing Ankerfelt’s favorite song – “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley, with it’s message of “don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be alright” – and a slideshow, friends, family and coworkers took to the stage to share their memories.
“It was immediately evident that there was something special and unique about Stacy,” Scenic Hill Elementary Principal Dani Pfeiffer said. “Stacy’s impact on students and her contribution to our profes-sion is incomparable.”
Pfeiffer talked about Ankerfelt’s dedication to her students, her drive to have a positive effect and
make the most of the learning experi-ence for each one. Most importantly, however, she spoke about how Anker-felt’s giving nature will continue to influence all who
knew her.“Our students, our staff,
her family, her friends and me, will be visiting her in-side or our heads, reminded or her thoughtfulness, her commitment to inclusion, her constant friendliness, her inquisitive nature and her caring ways, which manifested themselves in pure altruism,” Pfeiffer added. “We will miss her terribly, but it is in our head and in our heart that we will remember Stacy. And we will honor her by striv-ing to give as much as she so selflessly did.”

Sam’s Club awards Pioneer teachers
Sam’s Club has awarded 20 Pioneer Elementary School teachers with $50 reward cards to purchase classroom supplies that will help students start the school year off right.
As part of the Teacher Rewards program, the local educators were honored during an recent award ceremony.
In its fourth year, Teacher Rewards will have
donated up to $4.5 million to provide 90,000 teachers across the United States with reward cards that will help offset the cost of classroom expenses.
The funds come at a critical time, as the majority of U.S. teachers going back to school spend their own money to ensure their stu-dents have the supplies they need to learn throughout the school year.
“I would like to thank Sam’s Club for support-ing the community in this way,” said Debra
Gary, Pioneer Elementary School principal. “Pioneer teachers all enjoyed and appreciated the lovely breakfast that was sup-plied. I was excited for them to be recognized and rewarded for their hard work and dedication to students.”
The Teacher Rewards program is an extension of Walmart’s ongoing support of education initiatives that help students better prepare for their future.more story online…auburn-reporter.com

Hospital Central Services Association began work this week on a $26 million laundry plant in Auburn.
When the business opens in 2013, the 144,357-square-foot plant next to the Costco warehouse at 1500 M Street Northwest is expected to employ up to 165 people to launder the region’s hospi-tals’ dirty laundry.
“It’s my understanding that they are mobilizing and doing a little bit of dirt work, and will begin faster, more intensive work start-ing [this] week,” said Devel-opment Services Manager Jeff Tate.
Seattle-based Hospital Central Services Associa-tion did not return calls for this article.
But according to its web-site, HCSA operates a large institutional laundry at 1300 E. Columbia St. near Seattle University that provides services to 11 hospitals in
Seattle. That plant, which moves to Auburn, processes 20 million pounds of laun-dry per year and operates 14 hours per day, 364 days per year. Linens such as sheets, towels, and surgical scrubs are cleaned at the laundry.
A February 2003 article in Healthcare Purchasing News cites HCSA as an example of how some hos-
pitals have formed “laundry consortia” to cut costs.
“One example of such cooperation can be found in Seattle, where the Hospital Central Services Association, a coalition of six hospitals that serves itself and seven others, has been quietly washing, drying, folding and saving for more than a quar-ter century” the article said.
The consortium, accord-ing to the article, processes some 2.6 million pounds of linen per year for Virginia Mason Medical Center, a 20 percent owner. Seattle’s Swedish Hospital is another major owner.
Repeated calls to Auburn Economic Development Di-rector Doug Lien were not returned for this article.

section of the A-B Street corridor first, is on the hook for the $350,000 tab to install that fully-signal-ized crossing.
The City and company officials are set to discuss these issues with the Utili-ties and Transportation Commission at a hearing later this month.
“Right now, the City of Auburn is taking the lead, and we are support-ing their efforts,” said Richard Shaw, gen-eral manager of Mohawk Northern Plastics doing as AMPAC. “That effort
is to be able to continue operating this rail spur in the manner that have been operating it.
“… We hope that the protections that we put in place prior to the opening are satisfactory to the rel-ative risk of servicing the factory at that time,” Shaw said. “We’re working with the state, with the owner of property we’re renting and with the City to come up with a scenario that works for everybody.
City officials are not as polite about the matter. Their response to BNSF was when traffic ramps up to the point where the
spur becomes a problem, OK, but until there is a problem, don’t make a problem, said Mayor Pete Lewis.
“A week before the opening,” said Lewis “and BNSF says it wants full bars and lights across this. I told them it’s dumb. … There’s a new person in charge of projects at BNSF in Seattle who doesn’t want to budge. Their ap-proach is ‘if there’s a new road and we say so, that’s what we are going to do.
“…This is not so much
costing money as depriv-ing the public of transpor-tation corridor that’s long needed,” Lewis added of the delay.
Gus Melonas, a spokes-man for BNSF, said Tuesday, “We hope to resolve this safety matter in a rapid fashion. The state’s and our position is that for safety reasons and with projected increased traffic that we would prefer to see the automatic warning devices included at this private crossing, flashers and gates.”

After a survey of Green River Community College students two years ago revealed a need for a more complete grasp of how dif-ferent cultures viewed the natural world, the school began looking for ways to provide a more well-round-ed education for its students.
That effort culminated last month in a $160,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to help establish a Humanities Cultural Center. The cen-ter will link Humanities courses with Green River’s professional-technical programs and facilitate collaboration with regional cultural institutions.
“We’re thankful to the NEH for the grant and excited for the next steps to build a world-class hu-manities cultural center, said
Green River President Dr. Eileen Ely.
The grant was awarded as part of the NEH’s Chal-lenge Grants for Two-Year Colleges, a capacity building grant which requires the Green River Community College Foundation to raise additional funds on a two-for-one basis.
“The humanities have a singular power to help people see bridges where they have only imagined barriers,” said Jaeney Hoe-ne, project director and English professor, “This center will bring together thousands of students, teachers and community members who will recog-nize and celebrate their shared heritage.”
To inquire about dona-tions, call the Green River Foundation office at 253-288-3330, email [email protected] or visit the foundation’s website.

The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 238 calls for service between Sept. 3 and 9, among them the following:
Sept. 3Brush fire: 7:08 a.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters, a VRFA battalion chief, King County Fire District 44 and the Skyway Fire Department worked together to snuff out a brushfire at Green River Community College. The South King Fire Investigation Task Force looked into the fire’s origin and cause. Zone 3 Rehab 1 supported the effort. Nobody was hurt.
Sept. 4Aid call: 9:30 a.m., (Auburn). Fire-fighters helped a man who’d been complaining of abdominal pain and a private ambulance drove him to Auburn Regional Medical Center.
Sept. 5Accident: 2:30 p.m. (Algona). Finding a mother and her infant uninjured after a single-car accident in Algona, firefighters left them at the scene with Algona police.
Sept. 6Accident: 3:04 p.m., (South Auburn). As the only person out of seven hurt in a three-vehicle, rear-end collision, a teenage boy received treatment for minor facial injuries and a ride in a
private ambulance to ARMC.
Sept. 7Aid call: 6:57 p.m., (Pacific). Fire-fighters treated an Algona police officer who had been complaining of neck pain after a car accident and transported him to ARMC.
Sept. 8Aid call: 6:34 p.m., (Lakeland Hills). Firefighters and King County Medics evaluated a man who had fallen down a flight of stairs and medics loaded him on to a helicopter for a ride to Harborview Medical Center.
Sept. 9Service call: 7 p.m., (Lea Hill). Fire-fighters broke into a stalled elevator and rescued a female.
Auburn police responded to the following calls for service, among many others, between Sept. 2 and 10:
Sept. 2Assault with hands and fists: 8:32 a.m., 2014 I Street NE. Firefight-ers called police after realizing that a guy who’d earlier complained to 911 about having trouble breathing had actually been badly beaten. The injured man couldn’t tell police much about what had happened to him, and firefighters drove him to a hospital for more treatment.
Trespassing: 4:20 p.m., 1702 Auburn Way. Because he was such a pain, a man got the heave ho and the “don’t come back now” from Top Food and Drug.
Motorcycle theft: 11:45 p.m., 1500 block of O Street Southwest. Somebody stole a man’s motorcycle from his place of work.
Sept. 8Theft: 8:01 a.m., 2100 block of Au-burn Way South. A called his bank to cancel the credit cards in his missing wallet and learned that somebody had already used them.
Arson of uninhabited public property: 11:01 a.m., 30809 124th Avenue Southeast. Having started a camp fire in the wood line at Lea Hill Elementary, a group of kids had no idea that that old tire nearby would make their camp fire burn that much hotter and leap out of control that much more quickly. Firefighters extinguished the fire and forwarded a report to the Fire Marshals office.
Theft: 7:19 p.m., 700 E. Main St. A customer who’d been looking at a demonstration Motorola Droid Razor Max at Verizon Wireless suddenly commandeered the device, ran out of the store and disappeared. The phone retails for about $600.
Traffic offense: 7:40 p.m., 900 block of 8th Street NE. For reasons unknown, a motorcyclist left the street and ran into a tree, trapping

Git out!: 7:22 a.m., 1436 Auburn Way S. Even among that highly caffeinated, early-morning, java-slurping and guzzling crowd at Starbucks, a woman made such a distinct nuisance of herself that, well, she just had to go, that’s all.
Theft: 11:37 a.m., 600 block of L Place Southeast. Male accused female of stealing his phone, female denied stealing phone, male denied he ever accused female, phone still missing.
Sept. 10Vandalism: 5:34 p.m., 1450 block of 8th Street Northeast. Police arrest-ed a man by citation for malicious mischief after he damaged another person’s vehicle.
This week’s…Police Blotter
Fire & Rescue Blotter
put an end to the ongoing crisis in Pacific that has caused the departure of all of the City’s department heads and the impending cancellation of the City’s insurance policy at the end of the year.
According to the peti-tion, filed by City Attorney Kenyon Luce and signed by City Council President Leanne Guier, “Since taking office as the Mayor of the City of Pacific in January 2012, (Sun) has neglected his mandatory duties in ways that have had a devas-tating effect upon the city, its personnel, and its ability to conduct business and provide services to the city.”
The petition blames Sun for the vacant positions at City Hall – which include police chief (also known as the public safety director), finance director, public works director, city planner, city engineer and building inspector.
“Since taking office Jan. 3, 2012, nine employees have resigned, quit or been terminated because of or by (Sun),” the writ states. “In most instances (Sun) has failed to take the neces-sary and proper steps to hire replacements for these positions.”
By forcing Sun to begin the hiring process for the
vacant positions, the City hopes to stave off cancella-tion of its insurance.
In a letter sent to Sun from Cities Insurance As-sociation of Washington Chairman Wes Drago on July 2, the CIAW threatened to cancel the City’s insur-ance if “swift, concrete and verifiable deeds to bring a more stable and profession-al environment to the City of Pacific” were not made.
Additionally, the writ would provide relief for the Pacific Police Department, which has been unable to hire for vacant positions, by lifting the hiring freeze Sun instituted.
Since taking office in January, Sun has decimated the department by firing former Chief John Calkins and attempting to fire four officers who were involved in his arrest for trying to enter a locked city clerk’s office.
All four officers involved in the arrest continued to work, although one has re-portedly accepted a position with a neighboring police department and two others are actively looking to get out of Pacific.
That leaves the depart-ment without two patrol officers, a chief and an evidence technician.
According to Lt. Edwin Massey, the department’s ranking officer, the effect on
the force’s ability to do its job has been “tremendous.”
“When I have officers that go on vacation, that take leave or have to take care of their families in emergency situations, I have to bring other officers in,” he said. “But if I don’t have them I can’t bring them in. I have to find officers that are willing, or have to be ordered to come in and work overtime.”
As a result overtime hours have ballooned, according to the depart-ment. Between July 1 and Aug. 31, 2011, the depart-ment logged 84 hours of overtime. For the same time period this year, the hours jumped to 353.5.
Sun declined to com-ment for this story, but has reportedly allowed the department to begin the process of hiring a patrol officer and an evidence technician.
If Sun does not comply with the other require-ments in the writ, he must appear before the Pierce County Superior Court and explain why. If the court finds his reasons to not comply insufficient, it will issue a Peremptory Writ of Mandate. If Sun continues to refuse to comply, he can then be fined and jailed.

Food war rages on storefront
Like an extensive cable or satellite televi-sion guide, today’s grocery store outlet menu is rife with choices.
But in a soft, slow-to-recover economy, the wide-open market is banking up clo-sures, too.
And with the recent news that Albertsons – a long-established, reputable supermarket chain – is downsizing, more of the market’s casualties are rattling local communities.
SuperValu Inc., the store’s Minneapolis-based parent company owner, announced last week that it will close the only Albert-
sons store in Kent and one of two in Auburn – part of a 27-store shut-down in Washington, Oregon and Southern California.
Debt-troubled Super-valu is shutting down 60 “underperforming
or non-strategic” stores nationwide, an ur-gently needed move, it says to reduce costs and improve shareholder value.
Supervalu is considered one of the more troubled companies in the industry, yet rivals such as Kroger Co., which operates Fred Meyer, is considered to be a better operator.
“This is a downright shame,” said one mother, collecting bakery goods from the Albertsons on Kent’s Benson Highway. “This is a good store. This is where I like to go.”
Many of the stores are expected to close before Dec. 1. While the company isn’t releasing any sensitive information – un-derstandably so – layoffs are likely. Not all union workers will lose jobs; some workers could be transferred to other stores.
Still, it is a blow, symptomatic of the cost-conscious consumer in a wobbly economy.
More and more stores – of varying size and nature – are cutting into the grocery-buying business. That intense competition from rival stores has taken a big bite out of the community supermarkets ability to survive.[ more KLAAS page 6 ]
Emergency Preparedness is much more than just gath-ering a few essential items, throwing them in a backpack and calling it good. Prepared-ness requires some thought and planning, including un-derstanding what issues you might face and what you can do to survive those issues.
With September being National
Preparedness Month, it is a great time to reexamine your pre-paredness and assess what you are doing to prepare yourself, your family and your community to face a disaster.
Disasters can occur in many forms and at many intensities.
Some disasters are more likely to oc-cur but have a smaller impact on our lives; others might have dramatic impact but occur so rarely that we sometimes forget they are a risk.
In the Pacific Northwest, we live in a high-risk region where we can have almost any type of disaster. But with a little forethought and preparation, we can mitigate some risks and reduce the impact other
risks may have on our lives. But first, we need to know what we are up against.
I have always believed in the concept of all-hazards planning. That is, using a consistent approach to planning, training and prepared-ness, regardless of the type of disaster.
Having a greater understanding of what hazards you might face in a disaster and how those hazards might impact your life can help you more effectively prepare.
Are you equipped to handle an emergency? G U e S t e d I t O R I a l

Auburn’s meager Sunday market
While reading the Reporter I came across an article regard-ing the Auburn Farmers Mar-ket (“Our community thrives at the Sunday market”, Sept. 7).
I am shocked that John Pinsker is under the impres-sion that the Sunday market is thriving with growth. That is the furthest from the truth. The Sunday market has a lack of venders, a lack of people and a lack of growth.
Mr. Pinsker should want a market that reflects the Puyallup Market and know that’s a market people would be proud of.
People in Auburn should demand more from the market. Just a thought.– Mary Rividus
New leader needed in the 47th District
I encourage voters in the 47th District to send a new
representative to Olympia in November.
Andy Massagli has the busi-ness background and life expe-rience to help solve our state’s challenges – debt, businesses leaving and excess spending.
Pat Sullivan is a nice guy, but part of one-party rule that has put Washington into a deep
hole. He has voted against smaller government and less spending.
A new direction is needed, Andy is deserving of your vote.– Steve Altick

Other chains have been victimized.
Quality Food Centers, for example, closed its “under-performing” store in south Auburn two years ago.
Dollar stores, large discounters and big-box retailers are in a food fight with traditional supermar-kets.
One-stop Walmart, Target and Fred Meyer have been expanding ag-gressively into the grocery business in recent years, compressing profit mar-gins in an industry already plagued by low returns.
“None are direct com-petitors, none will take 50 percent of the busi-ness. But if you add 10 of them, and each one takes 1, 2, 3 or 10 percent (of the market), it certainly is more than enough to push a supermarket into the red,” said Jim Prevor, a food analyst at Perish-ablePundit.com, a website that follows the fresh food industry.
Prevor says the traditional grocery store has become something of a dinosaur, and it is up to food giants to evolve and keep up with the times.
Some have.
For costumers willing to pay a bit more, super-markets are reinvent-ing themselves, offering specialty brands, empha-sizing fresh meat, bread and produce departments. They promote quality, signature food, friendly service, pricier organic goods, heck, even their wooden floors.
Supermarkets, Prevor says, will continue to exist even if there isn’t one in every neighborhood. But there also will continue to be more outlets and choices – from warehouse clubs to convenience stops – for customers.
The farmers market, meanwhile, is becoming a viable option.
Walmart plans to open at least 20 smaller-format Neighborhood Market grocery stores in Califor-nia in the next year.
Where families go depends largely on income. For some, buying groceries is a one-stop adventure; for others it might be a coupon-driven, three-store mission, like shopping for clothes.
“Instead of just going to a local grocery store, people are saying, ‘well, this weekend, I’m having a big dinner party, I’m gonna go to Whole Foods.
I’m going to pay a little ex-tra to get certain things.’ ” Prevor said. “Other times, they are budgeting and shopping at a (discount grocery outlet).”
A bargain means different things to different people, Prevor added. Warehouse clubs offer the best bargain based on price-per-pound purchases. On the other hand, he said, that means more of a bigger out-of-pocket expenditure.
But getting everything in the right place at the right price at one location is a thing of the past, Prevor said.
“Consumers are diverse, aggressive. They go from here to there for best bar-gains,” Prevor said.”… And choices change based on economic situation.”
The new economy and the evolving supermarket industry is upon us.
What had been Goliaths in the grocery industry of the past now must share the food outlet territory with others, including the Davids.
Albertsons knows as much.

If you recognize what hazards you and your com-munity might face, you will be less likely to be caught off guard or unprepared to respond. To me, this is the first step in becoming truly prepared.
What types of hazards might you expect to see in your community and how would those occur-rences impact your life? Flooding might not seem so important if you live on top of a hill, but what if that flooding blocks your way in and out, or disrupts any of the many lifelines we have (food, water, utilities, school etc.)?
List all of these hazards and their impacts and rank them as to what is likely to occur but may have minimal impact, and those that may be a rare occurrence but could have a serious impact.
Look at what minor changes you could make that might mitigate some of the risk.
The homes that survived the recent fires in Central Washington are a great example of how what might appear to be a minor change can have great impact.
What training could
you get to better prepare yourself and your family? What should you have in your emergency backpack? When you know what you might face, you can answer those questions for yourself. There is a lot of information that is already done and available online concerning local disaster risk assess-ments. Look at your city, county or state emergency management plans.
I am sure that sometime in the past few years you have heard of the 3 Days – 3 Ways (3days3ways.org) pro-gram. This highly successful program instructs citizens to prepare themselves to be on their own for a mini-mum of three days and to prepare by building a kit,
making a plan and gaining training.
Once you know what you are up against, this website as well as the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org) and the many state and lo-cal emergency management websites all have valuable information.
How you choose to pre-pare is less important than the commitment you make to prepare. No matter if you are married or single, fresh out of school or a seasoned member of our society, you owe it to yourself and those who love you to survive.

Don Stevenson
with James and Nicholas Premo
addresses the post-walk
reception party at City Hall.MARK KLAAS,
Auburn Reporter
BY MARK KLAAS
Auburn’s 76-year-old ultra-marathon walker came home last Friday, completing a 1,508-mile journey halfway across the country for a worthy cause.
Don “Pacin’ Parson” Ste-venson walked far so that others might see, dedicating his latest walk to his friend, 12-year-old Nicholas Premo, who was born blind and developmentally disabled.
“I really believe in a few years he will be able to see,” Stevenson said following a reception at the steps of City Hall. “This was a good walk, one I dedicated to (Nicholas). … I love walk-ing and find it invigorating, inspiring and rewarding in many ways.”
The Lion Heart Walk-ing for the Blind took Stevenson across half the continent, originating June 11 from Rugby, N.D. – the geographic center of North America – and ending in the late-summer heat at Auburn last week.
Stevenson walked a part of the way blindfolded. He wore out five pairs of shoes during the three-month walk.
The walk alone raised more than $5,000 for the club and research for the blind and sight impaired. The Bonney Lake Lions Club sponsored Stevenson, who had no shortage of vol-unteers to join him along U.S. Route 2.
Stevenson helped bring awareness to the cause while helping the Premo family.
“We are humbled,” James Premo said of Stevenson’s generosity to his son. “It means the world to us.
“(Nicholas) knows some-thing big is going on. He doesn’t know what exactly.”
Stevenson said this might be his last extensive walk. He is considering taking time off to write inspira-tional books and do more work for his church.
This is not the first time Stevenson has walked this way.
The former Marine, pas-tor, teacher and truck driver has walked about 50,000 miles for various charities since 1998. Long-distance walking became his passion after his retirement in 1994.
Pacin’ Parson completes walk for Nicholas, charity

The CiTY Of AuBuRN’S contracted solid waste hauler, Waste Management, assumes collection and disposal of solid waste on Oct. 1 in the southeast portion of the Pierce County Annexation Area.
The area includes the communities of Portola, Portofino, The Reserve and Northlake. This area was an-nexed via Ordinance No. 5932 in 2005.
At the time, the area was annexed into the city limits of Auburn, Mur-rey’s Disposal had a G-Certificate to operate in the area. The law provides that existing franchises are in force for a period of at least seven years
following annexation. The franchise period has expired and Murrey’s Disposal will discontinue service on Sept. 30.
Residents in the Pierce County Annexation Area will be billed by the City of Auburn for solid waste services effective Oct. 1. Residents in the area now will have recycle col-lection at no additional cost (includ-ing glass bottles and jars), weekly compostables (yard waste, food and food-soiled paper) collection with subscription, and monthly billing.

sudsy offerings of several of the area’s best micro-brewer-ies might be the main attrac-tion of the festival – which runs from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday – Hops and Crops is also about ambiance.
It’s about getting in touch with the way things were. It’s about leaving behind the chaos and breakneck pace of the modern world for a little while and enjoying the 60-acre restored patch of 19th-century heaven that is the Mary Olson Farm.
The event is a fundraiser for continued restoration and educational program-ming at the farm, 28728 Green River Road, Auburn.
The festival offers a craft beer garden, live music, a
craft and farmer’s market-place and a kid’s activity area.
Gig ‘a perfect fit’When Rachel Burrum,
the museum’s educational programs and events coor-dinator, was booking bands for this year’s event, she looked to highlight South Sound bands whose music matched the retro feel of the farm.
“We wanted to go with an alternative, country/roots feel for all the bands,” she said. “We booked Science!, who are a folk duo, Jessica Lynne who is more tradi-tional country, Really Old Airplanes and The Fabulous Roofshakers, who are a blues band and The Cotton-
wood Cutups. They’re kind of almost a rockabilly band, but it’s all different genres that will sound great at the Mary Olson Farm.”
For bassist Ryan Rams-dell of The Cottonwood Cutups, a trio consisting of Ramsdell and brothers Jesse Hill and Joel Hill, the gig is a perfect fit.
“I wasn’t familiar with the event at first,” he said. “But I did some research and it seemed like a pretty cool event. So I talked to the guys, and they said ‘absolutely.’ ”
The Cottonwood Cutups got its start just a couple of summers ago, when Rams-dell and the Hill brothers decided to expand on their campfire jams.
“We’re all brothers,” Ramsdell said. “Joel is
married to my sister and Jesse is his brother. Joel is the guitar player and Jesse plays mandolin and banjo. We always go camping at the Cottonwood Campgrounds in the Hoh Rainforest (on the Olympic Peninsula) and we always brought guitars. About a year ago we officially formed and called ourselves The Cottonwood Cutups because of the campground.”
Initially content with just covering the music of bands such as The Devil Makes Three, Lucero, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash and Roger Miller, the trio soon began composing its own songs, filtering their disparate in-
fluences through their own experiences, Ramsdell said.
“We started finding our sound,” he said. “Our styles just kind of worked out.”
The Cottonwood Cutups close out the musical enter-
tainment at the Hops and Crops Festival, taking the stage at 5 p.m.

It’s 8 p.m. and 30-plus members of the Auburn Mountainview water polo team are going through the paces, practicing for the upcoming season, at the Auburn Pool.
The Auburn High team watches from the bleach-ers. Its numbers are not as impressive, just a handful of kids and a coach, waiting for their turn in the pool.
But for the Trojans, the representation is better than last year when they had no team at all.
After earning a fifth-place finish at the 2010 state tournament, the Trojans combined with Auburn Mountainview to field a team last season.
“They petitioned to join Auburn Mountainview because there were only five (players),” said Auburn coach Jim Isom. “And it didn’t help that the coach quit a week before the
season started.”This season, however,
thanks to the dedication of Isom and the handful of players and parents, there will be a separate Auburn team.
Isom, who started the Auburn water polo program in 1990, says the
program will participate this season, albeit with just nine members at this point.
“I had mixed feelings about them combining last year,” Isom said. “I think they just put off what we’re experiencing this year, the struggle. We’ve had to forfeit one game and re-
scheduled another because we didn’t have enough kids eligible. They didn’t have enough practices.”
Isom approached Auburn Athletic Director Bob Jones in May about the possibility of returning

The Auburn Mountainview girls soccer program defines success differently.
Not content to merely strive for greatness on the field, the Lions program also pursues excellence in the classroom.
The Lions are known for their success on the field, including trips to the state 3A playoffs in 2006 and 2009, but it is the team’s three academic state titles in 2007, 2008 and 2009 that make coach Cary Davidson burst with pride.
“When I talk about team culture, for incoming fresh-man, that’s what I talk about,” he said.
Davidson said the program has been “blessed to have a bunch of kids who want to do well and pull the others along with them.” Emphasizing academics is crucial.
“The first thing is to get a kid to buy in that it’s impor-tant,” he said. “I try to do a big sales job all the time and let them know how easy it was to write those letters of recom-mendation for all the girls on those three championship teams. There is no way having that (academic title) hurt them when they applied for college.
“What I tell them is that adults who are going to be their bosses or allow them to go to this college or that col-lege, they see high academics as an indication of work ethic and discipline and being able to follow through,” Davidson said.
www.auburn-reporter.com [11]September 14, 2012
“They see it as an indica-tion of those good char-acter traits. We just feel like it shows a lot of their character to have that as an emphasis.”
Once the foundation is established, Davidson and the other girls strive to make sure those who need academic help get it.
“There is no disci-pline or punishment,” Davidson said. “We just try to use positive peer pressure. We just try to let them know there is a reward for doing well.
“We identify individual kids who may be strug-gling, and I check with
them and offer any help that we can,” he said. “We have girls on the team who are 3.5 or 4.0 students, who do well at science and math and other tough subjects. We make sure they all know they have help if they need it.”
So far, it’s worked out well for the team.
The 2007 squad won the Washington State ac-ademic title for 3A girls soccer with a cumulative 3.806 GPA. The 2008 Lions posted a 3.813, and the 2009 team notched a 3.788.
“This is who we are,” Davidson said. “We want to be known for our aca-demic success.”

outlook: Last year’s record was a reflection of how young the team was, often starting nine sophomores and freshmen. This year, however, those girls are a year older, with a lot of playing time under their belt. “We have a different attitude than we did last year,” Ladage said. “There is a sense of excitement in our pro-gram, and the girls have humbled themselves with expectations for each other and as a team. We are concentrating on doing everything with expectations, from how we practice and conduct ourselves off
the field to how we play in games. (On the field) we must score goals at a much higher rate than we did last year and mature defensively.” The Trojans look to Mizoguchi, one of the quicker players in the league, to key the offense. Karout, who was out for half of last season with a foot injury, also will make an impact offensively.
AUBUrn riVerSiDe rAVenS: AT A GLANCEcoach: Paul Lewis, eighth year last year: sixth in SPSL North 4A with 6-8-2 record Top returners: Lauren Crimi, ju-
nior, forward; Ashley Enlow, senior, forward; Emmi Seelbach, junior, defender; Ilona Snyder, senior, mid-fielder; Kathleen Guiterrez, junior, midfielder; Katie Baber, senior, midfielder; and Kristina Nelson, sophomore, goalkeeper. outlook: The Ravens finished just one point shy of making the post-season last season. Six starters are gone, including two first-team all-league players, and perhaps the best goalkeeper in the league. Lewis still is confident this year’s squad can succeed in the tough North. “With an adjusted formation the team will
have more room for creativity in the offense end of the field,” Lewis said. “Creative and unpredictable offense will be the strength of the team.” Lewis added that much of the team’s success of the is predicated on the defense improving throughout the year. “With a tough, intimidating sophomore goalkeeper and a back four that includes a freshman, a sophomore and two juniors, it is a group loaded with potential.” Look for Crimi, an all-SPSL North 4A second-team selection, and Enlow, an honorable mention, to provide offense.
AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW LIONS: AT A GLANCE coach: Cary Davidson, eighth year last year: first in South Puget Sound League 3A with an 8-2-0 record, 12-5-1 overall Top returners: Delene Colburn, junior, forward; Madi Clarkson, junior, midfielder; Abi Alfrey, senior, defender; Sophia Wagner, junior, defender; Emily Gordon, senior, forward; and Kellcy Emory, sopho-more, midfield. outlook: The Lions grabbed their first league title as a program last season. The team fell shy of the state 3A tour-
nament, losing to Columbia River 2-0 in the district final. This year the team will again rely on defense to keep it in games behind Wagner, a returning all-SPSL 3A first-team defender, and senior defender Alfrey. Both girls also lead the team as co-captains. In the midfield the Lions turn to Clarkson, a second-team all-leaguer from last season, and Emory, a sophomore who torched the SPSL 3A for 10 goals last season. Gordon and Colburn provide scoring. Between the pipes Anastasia Finney replaces all-SPSL pick Jessica McAllister. Beyond that, the Lions have several talented underclassman.
as the water polo coach. Isom, who guided the Trojans from 1990 to 2003, had coached the Auburn Riverside girls team the past few years.
When Jones offered Isom the job, he didn’t hesitate to accept.
“I said yes without think-ing,” Isom said. “This is my baby. I started the program. And even though it’s been awhile, I just couldn’t stand by and watch the program falter. I gave my baby up for adoption a few years ago and now I’m back.”
Initially, Isom had only five players to work with, two shy of the number to officially needed to field a
team.“We picked up four play-
ers last week … due to the parents and players recruit-ing,” he said.
Still, the team needs more time to build the program, Isom said.
“I’m looking two years down the line,” he said. “This year, I’m just trying to teach the game.
In order to build the program, Isom hopes to overcome the “football is king” culture at Auburn.
“It’s like football or noth-ing for these kids,” he said. “A lot of kids would rather be on the football team, even though they’re not playing. I have to figure out how to appeal to those kids who aren’t playing football
to get them to come out.“I want the kids who are
not unlike me,” he said. “I tried playing basketball, I tried track. But when I started playing polo I real-ized, ‘Wow, I can do this.’ For me, being that 15-year-old kid, I always wanted to be jock, but I never was until water polo. Then I had something athletically that I was good at.
“For me, it meant a lot. And it’s never too late to join, particularly for the underclassmen.”
And if potential team members are concerned they won’t have enough experience to play right away, Isom said that won’t be a problem.
“Since we don’t have the
numbers, they’ll play right away,” he said. “Sometimes they’ll play more than they want. If you want to play a sport, you’re not going to sit on the bench here.”
The biggest draw for turn-ing out, according to Isom, is just the chance to belong.
“Kids are more likely to finish school if they par-ticipate, whether it’s the Key Club, the French Club or any sport,” he said. “They’re more likely to stay in school and stay out of trouble. And I can say I’ve had kids who probably would have gone the wrong direction if they didn’t have polo. They had something to feel good about themselves. They had a group they felt they belonged to.”

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing 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.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

In Loving MemoryEunice Hope Carlin
January 26, 1920 – September 6, 2012Walla Walla, Washington resident, Eunice H. Carlin, 92, passed
away September 6, 2012, at Regency at The Park, 420 SE Myra Road, College Place, Washington.
Eunice was born January 26, 1920, in Devils Lake, North Dakota, to Arthur and Ethel Cook Scofield. She attended elementary school in Devils Lake and graduated from Sheyenne River Academy in Harvey, North Dakota in 1944. On September 11, 1937, she and William D. Carlin married at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Devils Lake. After William died in 1975 in Auburn, for a period of time between 1977 and 1992, she worked as a personal caregiver, both in client’s homes and in her own home.
She and William were rock hounds, a hobby they shared with their sons Terry and Roger; and they also collected a beautiful selection of sea shells, as well as butterflies and stamps. An avid reader herself, she gave each of her sons books on their birthdays and holidays. She enjoyed growing lovely flowers, both outdoors and inside.
She moved to the Walla Walla area in 2006 from Auburn, Washington, where she was a member of the Auburn City Seventh-day Adventist Church, where she assisted in the Community Services area, and SAGE (Seniors in Action for God with Excellence).Years earlier in Southern California, she and William were long-time members of the Palomar Nature Club.
She is survived by: three sons - Keith Carlin of Walla Walla, Terry Carlin of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and Roger Carlin of College Place; her sister, Carol Foster; five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband; five sisters, two brothers, a daughter, Sharon, in infancy, and her granddaughter, Tambrey Tosk.
The graveside service will be 11:00 a.m., Sunday, September 23, 2012, at Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn, Washington. Pastor Terry Cassingham will officiate. Memorial contributions may be made to Maranatha Volunteers International through Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt, 1551 Dalles Military Road, Walla Walla, WA 99362.

Jennifer Paulett, assistant director
for Symetra community relations, presents a check and other gifts to elated
Valley Christian School teacher
Paula Lorence, right, a Symetra Hero
in the Classroom award recipient.
MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
RePoRteR staff
Symetra and the Seattle Seahawks honored Valley Christian School teacher Paula Lorence as a Symetra Hero in the Classroom on Sept. 5 during a school as-sembly.
Lorence teaches a range of subjects from English to math for grades 6-8 at the Auburn school.
“Paula Lorence is a dedicated, committed
professional who encour-ages every student to strive for excellence, recognizing each one’s unique strengths and areas for improvement,” said Gloria Butz, principal of Valley Christian School. “Walk into Mrs. Lorence’s classroom, and you’ll find students actively engaged in learning. She has been known to literally stand on her head to help her students learn the concept of ‘reciprocal’ in math.”
Butz nominated Lorence for the award.
“Mrs. Lorence makes a difference in the lives of students in many ways,” Butz said. “She also em-phasizes character-building qualities such as diligence, hard work, honesty, integ-rity and responsibility in her classroom. She is defi-nitely at teacher who will go to great lengths to help her students learn.”
The honor took Lorence by surprise.
“(It’s) humbling, shock-ing,” said Lorence, who has been teaching at VCS for 20 years. “I love this school. My children went to school here, and now I have a grandson in kindergarten.”
Lorence is one of 24 K-12 teachers across the Puget Sound area who will be honored for educational excellence in the Symetra Heroes in the Classroom program during the 2012 NFL season. Teachers are recognized in front of their students and peers at surprise in-school presenta-tions and receive a $1,000 donation for classroom books and supplies.
In addition, they receive tickets to a Seahawks home game and are acknowl-edged during on-field presentations at Centu-ryLink Field. Lorence will be recognized at Sunday’s game when the Seahawks take on the Dallas Cowboys in their home opener.
Teachers may be nomi-nated by their principal, district staff, student or stu-dent’s parent. The winners are selected based on their ability to make a real differ-ence in students’ lives; to go above and beyond in their day-to-day responsibilities; and to help students build life skills.
