A worker applies finishing touches to the exterior of the Green River College Trades Technologies building this week. The facility is expected to be ready for the start of fall classes. HEIDI SANDERS, Reporter

When classes begin Sept. 21, students enrolled in four programs at Green River College will use the new Trades Technologies building.

The 55,000-square-foot, $34.6-million project is on budget and schedule, said Sam Ball, Green River’s capital proj-ects director.

“Our schedule was to open for fall quarter, and we will make that,” Ball said.

Construction crews will

continue to put the finishing touches on the building over the next few weeks, and it will be ready for students when classes begin, Ball said.

College officials plan a rib-bon cutting for the new facility later this fall.

The building, which is across the street from the main Green River campus on the north side of SE 320th Street on Auburn’s Lea Hill, will house the automo-tive, carpentry, manufacturing and welding programs.

It has been five months since Brocc Snyder, an elder of Calvary Presbyterian Church in Enumclaw

who ministers in Auburn, pleaded with Auburn City Council to do something about homelessness.

That is, to renew the City's homeless ordinance, which he said would allow local homeless advocates to set up a tent city somewhere within City limits.

To keep the homeless safe, he

explained.Mayor Nancy Backus listened,

took notes, and announced her in-tention to pull together a mayor's roundtable on homelessness.

For months, a riled contingent of the City’s water customers has been complain-ing about high bills.

Complaints duly noted, City officials said recently.

“We’ve been through a very long, hot, dry summer, and there’ve been calls to the

utilities center and the mayor’s office, and maybe some of you as well,” Finance Direc-tor Shelley Coleman began at a recent study session of the Auburn City Council.

Given Auburn’s summer of discontent, Coleman went on to offer this primer on how one’s water bill gets to be what it is.

Ever since his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence Aug. 11, Michael Hursh, the City of Auburn’s Director of Administra-tion, has been on indefinite adminis-trative leave.

By the close of this week, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority expects to finish its report on the incident and forward it to the City of Auburn. The City is expected to use the report to make its decision on Hursh’s employment status.

Auburn Police arrested Hursh on suspicion of driving under the influence in a City-owned ve-hicle early Aug. 11.

Hursh was stopped at about 2 a.m. in the area of Southeast 304th and 112th Street because of erratic driv-ing, according to the Auburn Police Department. Hursh, a nine-year City employee who had served in the role since 2012, was booked into SCORE jail. After an Aug. 11 court appear-ance, he was released on his personal recognizance

On Aug. 12, Hursh was placed on indefinite administrative leave pending the results of a criminal and

internal investigation.The City of Federal Way is han-

dling the prosecution and the Wash-ington Cities Insurance Authority conducted the internal investigation.

According to the police report, Hursh admitted to having consumed alcohol that night.

“This is a very difficult situation for me,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “Michael is a good man who it seems made a terrible mistake. While I do not condone his judgment or actions, I trust both the legal and internal process to ensure there is no special treatment, and that

justice is served.”The director of administration

oversees all divisions that report out of the mayor’s office, such as facilities and property management, emer-gency management, communica-tions and multi-media, and econom-ic development. Hursh was heavily involved as well in human and veterans service work. He launched a nonprofit, South County Housing and Outreach, which provides hous-ing for women and children coming out of domestic violence. He served as chaplain for police and fire and for the City.

Try as it might, Wash-ington just can’t get this charter school thing down right.

For years, backers of this privately run, publicly funded model of educat-ing endured rejection by voters worried that divert-ing public dimes in this manner might sink the state’s school system.

The mood turned in 2012 when

billionaire believers of this education alternative put serious amounts of their money into helping pass Initiative 1240. An alliance of national experts hailed the measure as one of the best written charter school laws in the nation.

Until last Friday.That’s when the state Supreme

Court, in a 6-3 decision, struck

down the law as unconstitutional and began the countdown to the legal extermination of nine charter schools serving 1,200 students.

So now what?The Washington Charter School

Commission held a special meeting Wednesday for commissioners to ponder the path of what-ifs ahead of them.

“We need to remain focused,” executive director Joshua Halsey

said before the meeting. “These are real schools. These are real kids that are being impacted by the decisions made by adults.”

Conversations are already occur-ring on how to keep schools open and fix the law.

But first, the Attorney General’s Office and lawyers for initiative backers will try to convince the Su-preme Court – or at least a majority – to reconsider and retreat from its original decision. That motion must be filed within 20 days of the ruling.

Because it’s highly probable the

State must navigate unchartered school watersT H E P E T R I D I S H

You can’t cherry pick facts and know whole story

In response to a Sandra Gill’s letter (“Listening to what Rodney King said”, Sept 4, Reporter):

Ms. Gill, I am not sure what your purpose is when you write letters like this to be published in the newspaper. However, I do know that when you cherry pick facts and as-sume that you have expressed the whole story you are only fostering misunderstanding.

There are around 50 million black Americans in the United States, and we are not mono-lithic in our thinking or the way we live our lives, much like all Americans of all per-suasions. Further, I’ll venture to say that 99 percent of the 50 million black folks in America have not shared space, nor

have they had a conversa-tion with Kanye West. So, the chance of him speaking for all of us is slim to none.

In your comments about Of-ficer Wilson, you left out the fact that Ferguson was the second police department that he was

fired from. You fail to consider that his employment history might be a contributing factor in his inability to be hired.

In the case of the outrageous murder of Deputy Darren Goforth, you must have missed the large procession of black and white citizens march-ing, singing gospel songs and carrying signs, saying “love thy neighbor.” Sounds like an evocation of sympathy to me. How many black people have you asked about how they feel about the murder?

It appears that you feel that the angst that black people feel in America is related solely to slavery. If that were the case, the whole issue of race in America could be wrapped in a nice little bow entitled “slav-ery ended a long time ago and you need to get over it.” That way, we can toss it to the side and stop talking about it.

All thumbs with this texting thing

I sense a move afoot to make me appear grouchy and less than Mr. Cool and up with the times.

How ridiculous is that … me … Mr. I am Sunshine.

Let me present the complaint without distortion or twisting any facts.

I have been using the texting feature on my magic talk box more late-ly because certain young women in my office who shall go unnamed, we will refer to them as Sarah and Rebecca, and my daughter, who shall

not go unnamed, Katy, and her little Yorkie from the underworld (apparently Katy’s demon Yorkie can use the stupid text thing better than me).

Complaint No. 1I forget to check my text messages. Like

I’m supposed to do this more than yearly. Katy said I had to set up some ear-throb-

bing sounds to tell me when to do what. OK, fine, I did as directed. The next day I

forgot what I did and suddenly got all befud-dled when foreign sounds starting pouring unannounced from my pocket. I thought I was Agent 86 and I tried to answer my shoe. Keep this information to yourself, please.

Complaint No. 2This is from me. How am I supposed to

know about all those special weird unknow-able things Sarah, Rebecca and Katy know and no one ever tells me?

I spend all sorts of time studying indeci-pherable old things like Greek, but I have no idea what a ‘:)’ means or a ‘:P’ or the million other things they use to talk. Where did this language come from, and why do they get to know and I don’t? Maybe they find out in some secret classroom where you have to know the handshake and everyone wears funny hats and sits in tall wooden chairs with no cushions.

Complaint No. 3 This is also me … not

that I’m whining. How come they can

punch things into their phone like lightning and it takes me 20 minutes to figure out how to write barf? It is so annoying. I feel like when I text I have to lock myself in a closet. I have even practiced speed thumb things, and all I do is end up writing a string of bad words.

RemedyIt’s not likely I can return

to my cranky wall phone (I still have the one we had on the farm) and it is probable that essential information will continue to be with-held from me because of a conspiratorial plan to make

me appear grouchy and as out of date as my lumpy buttermilk.

Well, my lumpy butter-milk is the secret remedy.

The magic potion for Mr. Sunshine is a glass of but-termilk, texturally lumpy, every day. It is the elixir of life the young do not know and have not discovered with all their fancy, speedy, texty things – whatever they are.

The free event includes live music, face painting, a bouncy house and activities for children, including the opportunity to ride in a police car. The street will be closed for the block party.

A police SWAT and VRFA fire trucks will be on display. Iden-tification kits will be available to families.

Hot dogs and refreshments will be served.

court won’t change its mind, the state’s attorneys also will ask justices to provide enough time for the com-mission to extricate the public’s fingers from these operations.

That also will give found-ers of the schools a chance to take their next step, which presumably will be to become private schools for the foreseeable future.

On that point, the Wash-ington State Charter School Association, a private group which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist the schools, is making sure money won’t be an issue. Its leaders vow to drum up the estimated $14 million

needed to keep every school open through June.

Meanwhile, figuring out how to legitimize charter schools will be much harder as it will require action by lawmakers.

Republicans in the House and Senate want to move swiftly to carve out a spot in state law for charter schools and spell out where funding for them will come from. Seattle Rep. Eric Pettigrew wants to act quickly along those lines as well.

They want Gov. Jay Inslee to call a special session for that purpose, but as of Wednesday morning, he had not indicated what he wants to do. Democratic leaders in the two chambers have been silent on the situation, too.

Without their buy-in, it’s a cinch this will be a debate left for the 2016 legislative session.

Jim Spady, a charter school supporter who has been on the front lines of this civic war since 1994, vowed the court action won’t be the last word.

“We are going to do whatever it takes,” declared Spady, an executive of Dick’s Drive-in. “We are having charter schools in Washington state. They are here. They are working. We haven’t come this far to be sidetracked.”

Well, there is a giant hole in that analysis. It does not come to grips with: black codes, vagrancy laws, chain gangs working plan-tations, poll tax schemes, Jim Crow laws, night riders, housing covenants, redlining, James Crow Esquire and more.

Further, it does not come to grips with the fact that slavery was an economic strategy that gave birth to the brutal system of bondage know as the American version of slavery. And, that slave economic system was the engine that drove America to become the economic power that it is today.

You say you don’t see the tie to present day Americans. Well, I suggest you read books other than the sanitized history text books taught in our schools. The book, “Empire of Cotton: A Global His-tory”, researched and written by Sven Beckert, a whiney white man (sarcasm), would be a good start to help see how history informs the present.– Richard Johnson

It closed out its active life as the Liquidation Outlet.

But Auburnites who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s may remember the building at 30 W. Main as the 88 Cents Store.

However one recalls it, the storefront on West Main opposite City Hall has been empty – indeed, ugly empty – for nearly 10 years, its owner, Wash-

ington Bank clinging on despite the building’s poor condition and, at one point, the City’s offer to raze it along with other buildings.

Now public records show that private de-velopers Levan Auburn Development, LLC, and Iounnou, LLC of Seattle, have purchased the build-ing from Washington Bank.

Not just that property, either, they also bought the parking north of the

Sun Break Café at 22 A St. SW, and most of the park-ing lot east of the cafe. Purchase price:$990,000.

In June, the same group put down $275,000 to buy from Gerald Honeysett the old Charlie Wong lounge site, which shared its west wall with the Liquidation Outlet.

The common wall, west of the Auburn Down-town Plaza, is a notorious eyesore.

A bit of history is at-tached to these proper-

ties.By a previous agree-

ment, the Stratford Group, a real estate devel-opment firm, which had at one time owned most of the block immediately south of City Hall – the exceptions being the Charlie Wong property and the Sun Break Café – had been required to notify the City by the close of business on April 1, 2009 whether it intended to proceed with its development plans. No such notification was received.

And when Strat-ford’s plans fizzled, the City bought the parcels back. Later the City sold the parcels to Washing-ton Bank.

City officials say the new owners of these holdings have not yet set a demolition date, and neither have they filed development plans with the City of Auburn.

Sun Break Café owner Bruce Alverson said he stands to lose use of all but a narrow strip of the parking lots around him. For that he blames former Mayor Pete Lewis for sell-ing the above-mentioned lots and others years ago.

“If you are thinking about opening a small business in downtown Auburn, and you think you will need parking for your customers, you had better think again,” he said.

Auto body technology was originally slated for the building before college of-ficials, citing low enrollment, cut the program in June. The space intended for the auto body technology is currently used as a staging area for equipment. College officials said the space will be used for another trades program.

Ball said the Trades Tech-nologies building provides the programs with state-of-the-art facilities and equip-ment.

The facility includes two automotive labs and class-rooms and a tool room.

The carpentry lab offers sections of plywood flooring, which will allow students to practice putting up walls. Ball said this feature was added at the request of the carpentry instructor.

“They (program faculty) all participated in the design process,” Ball said

A dust collection system vacuums dust from the carpentry lab and pipes it outside into large barrels.

“When the drums get full they take it out to recycle,” Ball said.

Across a covered walkway is a second building for the manufacturing and welding programs. The two programs will share a material storage area because they use similar materials.

Ball said two bridge cranes, which can be used to transport materials, have been added to the program. The welding lab displays a multitude of welding booths.

The Trades Technologies building brings most of the essential services students need to complete their pro-grams into one central loca-tion. Administrative offices, including that of the program dean, are on-site. There is also a general purpose classroom that can be used for general education courses such as math or English, so that students will not have to travel to the main part of campus. There is parking for faculty, students and guests.

A gallery area is equipped with large sliding doors that allow antique vehicles to be driven inside for display.

The facility includes a customer waiting room and secure vehicle storage for patrons who have work done by students in the automotive program.

The new trades build-ing replaces the Trades and Industry complex, com-prised of five aging buildings constructed in the 1960s and 1970s.

The old welding building was severely damaged by the Nisqually earthquake in 2001 and had to be rebuilt. That building will be renovated to house the college’s shipping and receiving department,

which is currently in the basement of an old building, Ball said, but the other trades buildings will be demolished since they are outdated.

“They would be a drain on maintenance,” Ball said.

Ball said the replacement of the trades complex has been in the works for a while.

“This project has been in some level of design for 10 years,” he said.

The school shelved the project indefinitely during the economic collapse that began in 2008. In June 2012, the State Board for Commu-nity and Technical Colleges, which provided $28.6 million for the project, informed the college that funding would be reinstated. The college finalized the design process, put the contract out for builders to bid on, and in fall 2013 secured Walsh Con-struction as the contractor.

Construction continues on a new student life center, which has been named the Mel Lindbloom Student Union. It will replace the aging Lindbloom Student Center. The new building will feature the campus book-store, stage and dining area, a computer bar, a fireside lounge, a fitness center and a multicultural center.

The $32.2-million project is being funded by the college and by a self-imposed fee voted on by the student body in May 2007.

convene such a panel as early as next month.

What shape solutions may take, if solutions there are to be, is anyone’s guess. But for ideas, Hinman said, the City is likely to seek the advice of a consultant who has worked with area cities like Edmonds that are presently grappling with the same issue.

“I just got off the phone with her an hour ago,” Hinman said Tuesday afternoon of the consultant, Karen Reed. “We may enter into a con-tract soon with her.”

Councilmembers have since received letters and emails from residents, some supportive, others adamant-ly against anything smack-ing of a tent city.

Last May Councilman John Holman summed up the sentiments.

“Some said that if we continue to advertise that we are helping the home-less, we’re going to bring in people with drug problems from other communities. Others have said it would

degrade their business, and ‘if you do that, I’m going to move my busi-ness.’ We’ve had that level of response,” Holman said. “We’ve also had the exact polar opposite, people say-ing, ‘We need to do more,

we need to take our abandoned houses and open them up to the homeless.’ Some have even offered suggestions that are not even legal in this state. ... To them we have to say, ‘Your heart’s

in the right place, but we can’t do that.’ Finding that sweet spot, that balance, that’s what we are looking for with homelessness,” Holman said

Holman said that the kernel of the conversation to come will be finding the most humane way to deal with one’s fellow human beings.

Homelessness, Holman said, is a regional issue, not just an Auburn issue. That being true, whatever the City does must work in conjunction with what other communities are doing, and it must balance various competing internal

interests, including where best to allocate the City’s limited funds, he said.

“It’s a tenant of a lot of our own personal belief systems that we care for those who are less fortunate. But the other part of this balance is that if we make ourselves the most attrac-tive city in the county for dealing with homelessness issues, we become a magnet, or a dumping ground, how-ever you want to paraphrase it, for other cities,” Holman said.

And if Auburn puts in a tent city and some other city closes its own, Hol-man argued, this commu-nity would see its homeless population expand in a nanosecond.

“I’m not sure we even have the resources to ex-pand our homeless popula-tion beyond what it is. The City already spends upward of $2 million a year on the disadvantaged in the City of Auburn. We’re very gener-ous, and that applies to the generosity of our residents. … But there is a balance between funds that we have available and funds for things like patching roads,” Holman said.

residential and com-mercial water customers a monthly flat rate. For residential customers, the current base rate is $15.05 per month. Resi-dential water meters are read bi-monthly. While the City bills each water customer the same flat rate per month, it bills water usage, or con-sumption, every other month. And the latter is subject to tiered-rate billing.

There are 292 large meters within city limits that are read every month, and 13,939 meters that are read bi-monthly.

So, what’s tiered-rate billing?

In 2002, to encourage water conservation, the City paired its flat-rate with a block-rate or tiered system. So, if a customer “breaks through” a certain amount of water usage per month, he or she pays a higher rate, in addition, again, to the base rate.

Over a two-month span, the first seven ccfs used – a “ccf ” is 100 cubic feet of water – in terms of consumption is 1,400 cubic feet that counts toward usage.

Customers who use what the City here consid-ers an average amount of water benefit from the lower rate, whereas customers who use more water pay in the higher tiers.

Here are the monthly-tiered water billing rates:

• Tier 1: customers who use 0-7 ccf per month for two months pay $2.99 per ccf.

• Tier 2: customers who use 7.01-15 ccf a month over two months pay $3.65 per ccf.

• Tier 3: customers who use more than 15.01 ccfs a month over two months pay $4.15 per ccf.

In comparison, the City of Renton’s monthly base rate is $17.60. A customer rises from tier 1, 0-5 ccf, where he or she pays $2.54 per ccf, to tier 2 after exceeding 500 cubic feet

of water consumed in a month, or 1,000 cubic feet over a two-month period, which is $3.41 per ccf. Customers who exceed 10.01 ccf per month land in tier 3 and pay $4.30 per ccf.

The City of Kent’s base rate is $13.10. It has a winter rate, 0-7 ccfs for $3.12 per ccf, and a summer rate, 0-7 ccfs for $4.11 per ccf. Usage in excess of 7.01 ccf raises the customer to $4.22 per ccf at the winter rate and to $5.24 per ccf at the summer rate.

Coleman’s primer on water bills comes as the City begins the 2½-year process of replacing the 14,231 water meters within its 23-square-mile water service area with an automated meter reading system. The $5.4 million project, excluding tax, will not require a rate increase. Financing for work in 2015 will be from 2013 Revenue Bonds, whereas financing for work in 2016 and 2017 will be from future financing, as deter-mined appropriate by the City’s finance department and approved by the City Council.

The City expects a return on its investment in 20 years. The system vendor is Ferguson Wa-ter Works.

What’s aheadHere is the anticipated installation schedule:• 14,093 existing meters• 213 AMI meters to be installed in 2015• 5,415 AMI meters to be installed in 2016• 8,475 AMI meters to be installed in 2017

GUIDING LIGHT FOR THE RAVENSPREP VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

Leverenz stays true to her approach in leading AR’s successful programBY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Coaching volleyball is a careful balancing act.

Chris Leverenz knows all about it.

For 20 consecutive seasons – ever since Auburn River-side High School opened its doors – Leverenz has pointed the way for a successful program with her structured, no-nonsense approach to the game. But away from the court, she shares a softer side – congenial, fun, goofy.

A combination that con-nects with her players.

“She holds us accountable and works us real hard,” said Kiana Drumheller, a 6-foot senior stalwart for the Ra-vens. “But she has a fun side to her. She’s definitely a disciplinarian, and she knows how to coach us as a team but also as individuals.”

“Coach Lev” has been an influential part of Kasey Holand’s life since she was 12. Her club coach then, Leverenz demands more from

Holand now.“She knows how to push us,” said Holand,

a 6-foot senior blocker and hitter, who is in her fourth varsity season with the Ravens. “She’s a character, but she’s also a coach who knows how to get the most out of us indi-vidually.”

Holand and Drumheller are among a select few players returning from last year’s dream team, which went 36-0 and captured the state Class 3A championship, the program’s first.

Expectations are high this season,

Coach Chris Leverenz shares a light moment with her players during practice in the Auburn Riverside High School gymnasium. Leverenz, who enters her 21st season at the school, has shaped a consistent, winning program. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter

Auburn quarterback Gavin Strojan looks for an open receiver downfield during Saturday’s nonleague game against Mountain View of Vancouver at Husky Stadium. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

REPORTER STAFF

Auburn dropped a 32-21 nonleague opener to Moun-tain View of Vancouver amid stormy weather in the Emerald City Kickoff Clas-sic last Saturday at Husky Stadium.

Thunder and lightning delayed the game for two hours and 20 minutes.

The Trojans built a 21-8 lead in the first half before the Thunder rallied for the win.

Kevin Clay scored on runs from 10 and 5 yards out, and Malik Williams returned a kickoff 80 yards for Auburn’s third TD.

Mountain View struck back behind Preston Jones’ 80-yard kickoff return, which cut the Trojans’ lead to 21-15 at halftime.

Mountain View took the lead, 25-21, late in the third quarter on Troy Pacheco’s 26-yard TD pass from Colin Biggs. The Thunder

tacked on another touch-down at the end of the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

Mountain View had 276 total rushing yards. Jones accounted for 120 yards and senior Taj Albeck with 106 yards.

ElsewhereAt Marysville Getchell 29, Au-

burn Riverside 26: Gage Thomas’ 3-yard run with 1:31 remaining lifted the Chargers past the Ravens in a

nonleague season opener last Friday.Darrien Rivera ran 60 yards for a

score, Sam Braboy had a 5-yard TD run, and Dennis Beard returned an interception 52 yards for another score for the Ravens.

Quarterback Tiano Malietufa threw a 4-yard TD pass to Isaiah Prescott.

Malietufa, a sophomore, complet-ed 15 of 32 passes for 105 yards and ran for 70 more yards. Rivera finished with a team-high 84 yards rushing.

Auburn Mountainview 47, at Foss 14: Gresch Jensen threw for 294 yards and five touchdowns

– each to a different receiver – and Corey Barnes scored three TDs as the Lions opened with a rout of the Falcons in nonleague play last Friday.

Jensen completed 14 of 20 passes, hitting Barnes, Ki ‘Jan Weisinger, Bitner Wilson, Vaughn Daggs and Talan Alfrey for scores.

Barnes also ran for one touchdown and returned a punt 64 yards for another.

Weisinger finished with eight catches for 133 yards.

The Lions, who racked up 452 yards of offense, led 40-0 at halftime.

and understandably so.Leverenz, in her 21st

season as coach, said she knows her team will carry the weight of a crown.

“It’s a good and bad thing,” she said. “I think the kids feel a little bit of pres-sure, but I think pressure sometimes is good.

“The key for me is to convince them that it’s not the same (team),” Leverenz said. “I don’t have the same expectations. … We lost some amazing players, and we’re not going to replace them … but the other kids are going to be just as good. They’re going to be good in their own light.”

Noticeably missing is Carson Heilborn, who graduated and is off to the University of New Mexico, where the true freshman has been immediately pressed into a backup role for Hannah Johnson, the Lobos’ All-Mountain West Conference senior setter from Longview.

Heilborn was the Washington State Gatorade Volleyball Player of the Year and the South Puget Sound League’s Player of the Year last fall.

Also gone is Precious Atafua, the state 3A tourna-

ment MVP, who is playing at Casper (Wyo.). College. Roxy King, an All-SPSL middle hitter last year, is playing at Minot State (N.D.).

Despite the departed stars, the Ravens return plenty of experience and skill.

Drumheller, Holand and Calley Heilborn, a 6-1 sophomore and Carson’s sister, will provide plenty of punch up front. The younger Heilborn was a second-team all-league performer last season.

Clarice Buchanan, a 5-11 junior libero, and a second-team all-league selection last season, is considered the Ravens’ best all-around defensive player.

Lauren Smith, a 5-foot-10 junior, has emerged as the setter.

The pieces are in place for another league and district title run.

“We’re coming off a high from last year, so we have high expectations for this year,” Holand said. “We have that feeling from last year, so anything less is go-ing to be disappointing. … But we want to go as far as we can … and have the best season possible and just build for the next seasons to come.”

Leverenz’ Ravens have always been a highly regarded program. The state title only enhanced its reputation and raised the bar for the competition.

“The whole thing was just very dynamic, not just for our team but for our entire program and for our community here at Auburn Riverside,” Leverenz said of winning it all last season. “It’s just amazing.

“I didn’t realize how many people were there supporting us and how much it mattered to the community. I love that. That makes it all worth-while.”

ElsewhereAuburn Mountainview

brings back a strong team under second-year coach Telia Peterson. The Lions, who finished 14-5 overall last season, are loaded for a league title run this fall.

“We only graduated one senior last year, so we have the same squad coming back,” Peterson said. “In ad-dition, we have great senior leadership, versatility and depth with this team.

“We, as a coaching staff, believe that this team will compete at its highest level

in our competitive league.” The Lions return the

Davenports – Ali, a 5-11 senior middle hitter, and Casey, a 5-6 junior set-ter, both second-team all-league performers last season. Junior Kiley Lewis, a 6-2 junior outside hitter, was a first-team All-SPSL selection last year.

Seniors Izzy Pantoja (5-10 middle blocker) and Darby Deaton (5-6 outside hitter) and junior Lau-ren Friis (5-2 libero) also return.

Juniors Emily Marti-nez (5-8 outside hitter) and Savannah Klemetsen (6-1 middle blocker), and sophomores Haylee Hooper (5-7 setter) and Savannah Dodson (5-6 defensive specialist) are top newcom-ers. …

At Auburn, Shelley Davis welcomes back several starters and a vastly im-proved defense. Returning are seniors Alyssa Hinz (5-9 middle/right blocker); Kianna Ly (5-5 libero) and Simone Liu (5-5 defensive specialist); junior Celina Liulamaga (5-6 setter); and sophomore Leana Liu (5-7 outside hitter).

Mercedies Tootoo, a 5-11 sophomore middle blocker, is a top newcomer.

The Trojans, despite their lack of height, are poised to make a jump in the league standings and reach the district tournament.

“(There’s a) new spirit of work, fire and dedication

to go along with our new gym,” Davis said of her squad. “We’re doing it in honor of (athletic/activities

director) Bob Jones and his fight against cancer. Our season is dedicated to him and his fight.”

Show of power: The Ravens’ Kiana Drumheller, a 6-foot senior blocker, slams down a shot, with Calley Heilborn, a 6-1 sophomore, looking on. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter

If you ever get a chance to hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge, south of North Bend, right before dawn, do it. You’ll most likely be joined by a dozen or so other

sunrise-seeking hikers waiting for the blissful moment when the bright summer sun peeks over the distant mountains.

The hike is fairly easy: it’s four miles round trip and about a 1,100-foot elevation gain. To time your ascent with the sunrise, expect the hike to the top to take 45 minutes to an hour without many stops.

You might also be greeted by a daring and hungry chipmunk at the top. It’s clear the little guy frequents the ledge in search of meals to bum off animal-loving humans.
