Sometimes for special events Lisa Quam buys lottery tickets, which she gives out as gifts to fam-ily and friends.

But on Thanksgiv-ing Day, the Auburn native bought the first two Powerball tickets she ever had, at Haggen Foods in Lakeland Hills. At home, she stuck the tickets on the refrigera-tor door.

That Sunday evening she got around to check-ing the numbers: 13-24-30-42-48 and Powerball 27.

Everett Quam, just in from the outdoors, had already pulled his shoes off and was relaxing when he heard his wife yell from upstairs to him, and to everybody else in the house: “Come up here, come up here, right now!”

“I thought I was in trouble again,” Everett Quam recalled to laughter Thursday morning, Dec. 4, at the state Lottery headquarters in Olym-pia, where Lottery officials had just an-nounced the couple as

The Department of Corrections released Scottye Miller from prison on Oct. 15, 2012 after he had served part of a sentence for assaulting and threat-ening to kill his ex-girlfriend, Tricia Patricelli, 10 months earlier.

On Oct. 30, 2012, Miller killed the 33-year-old Auburn woman in her apartment, stabbing her at least 22 times in her neck, face, torso and back.

Miller is serving a 50-year prison sen-tence for the murder at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.

Now Patricelli’s mother, Cathy Harper, has filed a lawsuit against the

State of Washington, the Washing-ton Department of Corrections and Rhonda Freeland, the DOC employee assigned to supervise Miller. The suit alleges that the state miscalculated in releasing Miller before he had complet-ed his full sentence and that Freeland

The Pacific City Council voted unani-mously Monday to pass the City’s 2015 budget of $28,707,889.

“It’s always a good sign that we have a balanced budget to move forward into 2015 and are actu-ally meeting some of the

requests and needs of the City,” Mayor Leanne Guier said.

Among the major expenditures of the 2015 budget – which totals about $550,000 less than the 2014 budget – is funding for a new police officer position and the replacement

REPORTER STAFF

Civil Air Patrol Cadet 2nd Lt. Kath-ryn Graham of Auburn was honored for her service and achievements in a special ceremony Thursday at the Auburn Eagles Building.

Graham, who attends Auburn Mountainview High School, earned the Billy Mitchell Award for success-fully completing the second phase of the cadet program. The award is given in honor of Maj. Gen. William “Billy” Mitchell, former deputy chief of the Army Air Service and military avia-tion visionary.

Lt. Col. Paul Hansen, squadron commander and deputy com-mander for cadets at the Green River Composite Squadron, and Mayor Nancy Backus presented the award to Graham, who was accompanied by family and friends. The ceremony was part of the patrol’s 73rd anniversary celebration and the squadron’s open house.

To earn the award, cadets must pass a series of leadership, aerospace and

physical fitness tests and attend char-acter development training for each achievement from cadet airman basic through cadet chief master sergeant.

In addition, cadets must attend a military-style encampment before the award is made, and have maintained active membership in the Civil Air Patrol for at least 18 months since joining. About 15 percent of Civil Air Patrol cadets achieve the award.

Hearing Examiner reports on a busy yearBY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

The woman’s Jack Rus-sell Terrier had bitten her 2½-year-old granddaughter in the face and now, in late May at Auburn City Hall, she was appealing the City’s fine and penalties against her, grounded in Auburn’s nine-year-old, potentially dangerous-dog ordinance.

Auburn’s Hearing Exam-iner, Phil Olbrechts, listened carefully to the appeal, which set the woman not only against a City ordinance but against her own daughter.

After an emotionally charged hearing, Olbrechts affirmed the previous deci-sion.

“I wondered at the time, ‘what are we doing here? This dog has just savagely attacked your granddaughter?’ But it was very emotional,” Ol-brechts told the Planning and Community Development Committee Monday as he delivered the annual report of his activities. “Dangerous dog appeals are the toughest to resolve.”

It wasn’t only dangerous dog appeals, however, that kept Olbrechts up late in 2014, cudgeling his brains.

Indeed, the numbers show Olbrechts was busier in 2014 than he had been in several years. In 2012, he held eight hearings, in 2013 he held 10, and in 2014 there were 13. That breaks down to three rezoning hearings, three con-ditional use permit hearings, two preliminary plat hear-ings, one home occupation permit, one special exception and three dangerous dog appeals.

Among them, two hear-

ings on conditional use permit applications submit-ted by Shao Xia Zhu and her husband, Gary Kiefer. The couple wanted to operate two communal residences for up to seven students at a time on Lea Hill in the Rainier Ridge subdivision north of Green River Community College.

At the public hearing May 28 at Auburn City Hall, neighbors of the existing communal residences argued that anything more than four unrelated people – here, col-lege students – in a commu-nal housing situation would run contrary to what they had worked with City leaders for months to achieve, and what City leaders signed off on when they approved the communal housing ordi-nance in September of 2013 and put into effect on Jan. 1, 2014.

“They were probably the two toughest decisions I’ve ever had to issue, and I’ve held thousands of hearings,” Olbrechts told the commit-tee.

Partly what made the Zhu-Kiefer applications so flinty, what separated them from previous court cases, Olbrechts said, was that neighborhood testimony was grounded on historical impacts of student hous-ing in the neighborhood, as opposed to being mere speculation about what those impacts would be.

Also, that the applicants themselves had done a good job managing their hold-ings without disrupting their neighborhood.

And the possibility that a decision against them would perhaps stereotype students as inherent noisemakers and troublemakers, setting them apart from other renters, which state law does not allow.

Olbrechts decision, issued in late June, approved the couple’s applications. But, as he said, “subject” to such restrictive conditions that perhaps the couple would no longer be able to pursue their plans.

Dec. 1 Car accident: 1:30 p.m., (Algona). Having arrived at the scene of an acci-dent, firefighters found a broken power pole lying on a car and the driver out of the car, uninjured. Firefighters then contacted Puget Sound Energy to

failed to supervise Miller after his release, despite the obvious danger he posed to Patricelli.

Harper’s suit, filed Dec. 4, alleges wrongful death, negligence, loss and emo-tional distress.

“(The state’s) gross negligence gave Miller the opportunity to find Ms. Patricelli and complete his long-thwarted plan to murder her,” the suit alleges.

Harper is asking for damages in an amount to be proven at trial, includ-ing past and future medi-cal expenses and other health care expenses, pain

and suffering, mental and physical, past and future permanent partial dis-ability and disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, damages to property, past and future, special and economic damages, loss of income and earning ca-pacity, loss of consortium, damage and or destruc-tion of the parent-child relationship and other damages.

As the lawsuit states, the horrible sight of Patricelli’s murdered body was not spared her mother.

Harper was unavailable for comment.

purchase of three new patrol cars for the Pa-cific Police Department at $50,000 each.

The Public Works De-partment was also budgeted funds to pay for two new vehicle replacements to

upgrade its fleet.The budget allocates

more money for the City’s 19-plus acres of parks, allowing for an increased mowing schedule during the spring and summer.

“To make it very clear, the budget is a guideline

because the revenues projected are not in stone,” City Councilmember Clint Steiger said. “We always go through this, and the first quarter we need to be making budget adjust-ments. We need to stay on top of our revenues and our

expenditures because this is a tight and close budget. It’s very important we stay on top of them. We did a very poor job of doing that a couple of years ago. Luckily enough, we came through, but we had some real criti-cal areas.”

The votes are counted, but contributions continue flowing to participants in this year’s election.

Tens of thousands of dollars in political dona-tions have been reported to the state Public Disclosure Commission ahead of this week’s deadline for candidates and

party committees to reveal their receipts for November.

Early filings show that victors are reaping some nice spoils, especially on the Republican side of the aisle.

State Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who won re-election by

defeating a Republican state repre-sentative, collected nearly $10,000 from a fundraiser in Olympia put on by a cadre of longtime lobbyists.

And The Leadership Council, a fund controlled by the Senate Republican Caucus, had hauled in $127,550 through Dec. 1. That will replenish a cache depleted by the spending of $3 million to

defend incumbents and add a 25th member to secure the majority in the Senate.

A similar scenario is unfolding in the House, where Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, ran unopposed, yet five donors delivered unsolicited checks adding up to $3,250.

And the Reagan Fund, which Kristiansen and his fellow cau-cus leaders control, has garnered $47,500 since the election, in which

Hope found today in most unlikely places

There is hope for the modern world, dis-covered in the most unlikely of devices.

In the past, my cellphone has masqueraded as a demon device, suddenly calling strangers or refusing to ring when God is calling.

Despite what certain young women in the office say (never believe them), I know how to work my phone; it is the cellphone that turned on me when I yelled clean obsceni-ties at it. Unless I used just the right tone and poked it in the proper place, it suddenly went

dark and refused to speak or turn on the light.

However, in my hour of need I discovered hope.

At about midnight a couple of months ago I was driving to Anacortes to catch a ferry to San Juan Island for work.

I got lost somewhere on the outskirts of Enumclaw. It was dark.

I decided I would try one of those things (I know – it’s a stupid app) that mysteriously show up for no reason when I am trying to answer the ringing that is not in my head.

The thing is called “There” or “Go there” or “You’re lost forever” – something like that.

Anyway, I pulled over in the dark, began whacking my phone and suddenly a light asked me where I was going and where I came from, like some Philosophy 101 class I flunked.

Miraculously, the magic light in my phone figured out where I was going, and a woman in white began talking to me.

I couldn’t believe it. I had found a girl-friend in my shirt pocket.

Once we got rolling, every time I was going a mile or two over the speed limit, my new girlfriend started yelling at me.

After a couple of yellings, I started speed-ing just to hear her soothing critique, to see if she still liked me.

Then I took a wrong turn. That was nearly nirvana.

“Recalculating because you are a dummy,” she yelled.

I loved it. I started taking wrong turns

Shame on the City for removing red-light cameras

Shame on you, Mayer Nancy Backus, and the City Councilmembers who voted to do away with the red-light cameras. All because it costs the City $180,000 a year to have that service.

Shame on you for put-ting the value of a human at $180,000.

It’s disheartening to see the City abandon a proven system that could possibly prevent a serious accident that could result in a death because it’s not making money.

Just wait, as soon as they are removed, you’ll see more vehicles running those red lights, putting others in harm’s way. Instead, I would like to see more red-light cameras at all Auburn intersections.– George Rottle

Give the gift of comradeship

This holiday season why not send a gift to a veteran that thanks them for their ser-vice and provides them with membership in an exclusive Veterans Service Organiza-tion that serves those vets who served overseas in combat operations.

We have veterans who are seniors on fixed incomes and young veterans going to school to improve themselves so they can join the local job market. VFW membership provides all of its members with a network of comrades who understand the challenges veterans face every day.

VFW members get a monthly magazine, access to service officers who can help them with VA claims and sev-eral opportunities each year to do local community service.

Enrich a local veteran’s life and know that 100 percent of your donation will go to sponsoring an eligible new or existing member with a 2015 annual membership in Auburn VFW Post 1741.

IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

December 3, 2014 Muckleshoot Indian Tribe39015 172nd Ave SEAuburn, WA 98092253-939-3311 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Muckleshoot Housing Authority.REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about December 31, 2014 the Muckle- shoot Indian Tribe will submit a request to the HUD for the release of Indian Housing Block Grant Funds under Title I of the Native American Housing Assis- tance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 to undertake a project known as the Training and Main- tenance Facility. The project consists of construction of a

4,700 sq. ft. building and all infrastructure; The building will include a small workshop, storage, and training areas. The building is proposed to be located at 158th Avenue SE, Auburn, WA 98092.FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact State- ment under the National Envi- ronmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Addi- tional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Muckleshoot Housing Authority, 38037 158th Avenue S.E., Auburn, WA 98092 for review and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency dis- agreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, 39015 172nd Avenue S.E., Auburn, WA 98092. All comments received by December 31, 2014 will be considered by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Com- ments should specify which No- tice they are addressing.RELEASE OF FUNDS The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe certi- fies to HUD that Virginia Cross in her capacity as Tribal Council Chairman consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and au- thorities, and allows the Muckle- shoot Housing Authority to use Program funds.OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the Muckleshoot Indian’s certification for a period of fif- teen days following the anticipat- ed submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the RE; (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations

at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to HUD ONAP at Seattle Federal Office Building, 900 First Avenue Suite 200, Seattle, WA 98104-1000.

Water polo continues to grow

I was very happy to see the ar-ticle in the Nov. 28 Kent Reporter featuring the continued growth in interest in water polo in high schools in the area.

I played water polo for four years in high school in Honolulu and have happy memories of practices and games.

At the time there were only four high school water polo teams in the state, but over the past 32

years the sport has become very established and recognized.

I would like to wish the coach-es, players and their supporters the best of luck in developing water polo into a recognized mainstream high school sport in the area.

From my 50-year-old perspec-tive, the memories of the pain and agony of hours of eggbeater, but-terfly, shooting and tactical drills, scrimmages, weigh training and morning practice have all faded away, and I am left with happy memories of being a teenager play-ing water polo with my friends.

I hope that decades from now the current players will look back and have the same fond recollec-tions of a bygone youth that I do.– Finn Palmer

winners of the $90 million Powerball jackpot.

“We must have checked the ticket 25 times,” they said.

Theirs was the first winning Pow-erball ticket ever sold in Washington state.

“I am not a lucky person,” Lisa Quam said. “My husband says it’s just dumb luck.”

Now the couple have 60 days to decide whether to take their win-nings in one lump sum of $56 mil-lion, or as a 25-year annuity.

Most people would probably agree, as hard choices go, that’s got to be one of the best.

The Quams have lived in Auburn all of their lives.

“Such down-to-earth, hard-work-ing people,” said Jana Jones, public

records officer and director of legal services for the Washington State Lottery.

Perhaps a bit-less-hard-working from now on. Everett Quam has already retired from his aircraft en-gineering job at The Boeing Co. after 16 years, Lisa Quam retires from her labor relations job with Boeing on Dec. 16. She managed contracts for 25 years.

The couple said they’ll use their money to take care of the family, and that Lisa Quam has already made her first purchase – a Subaru Forester.

“She said beyond that, they just don’t know at this point what they’re doing to do,” Jones said. “They’re just trying to let it soak in. They said they are going to pay off their house and help their two children with their homes, if that’s what they want. And perhaps do a bit of traveling because they like to travel.”

Republicans gained four seats in the House.

One reason some lawmakers – not all – are out asking for money is that the rising cost of campaigns creates an insatiable need for it.

Also, state law bans lawmak-ers and statewide officials like the governor from political fund-rais-ing within 30 days of a legislative session. That’s inspired many to get what they can through solicitation letters and fundraisers before the freeze sets in Friday.

Why individuals and interest groups respond with post-election contributions is the other side of the equation.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a longtime supporter wanting to donate one more time, like a con-gratulatory pat on the back.

More often, if the donor is an active participant in politics and intends to walk the hallways of the Capitol during the upcoming ses-sion, it is prudent to acknowledge a lawmaker’s electoral success with a contribution.

Consider the action of Stand for Children in Washington, an influ-ential voice in the state’s education reform movement.

The group gave $950 to Roach on Nov. 21, even though it endorsed her opponent in the elec-tion. If the group did not want to see her win this time, why would it provide funds it knows will go to help jump-start her next cam-paign?

“Sen. Roach invited us to a post-election fundraiser, and we partici-

pated since she has been aligned with us most of the time over the years,” policy director Dave Powell wrote in an email.

And there’s SEIU Healthcare 775NW, the statewide union for thousands of long-term care work-ers in Washington. It spent nearly $450,000 in this election – most of it trying to elect Democrats.

The organization gave $20,000 to the Leadership Council in mid-October and $10,000 to the Reagan Fund on Nov. 21, its only contri-butions to the GOP committees this cycle. By comparison, it gave $162,500 to Democratic counter-parts in the House and Senate.

“We have over the years given financial support to all four cau-cuses as part of our ongoing efforts to build relationships with legisla-tors of both parties and to advocate for quality supports and services for older adults and people with disabilities,” spokesman Jackson Holtz explained in an email.

Corporations and business as-sociations are doing it, too. Alaska Airlines, for example, wrote its first check to the Reagan Fund after the election, and it was for $10,000. Farmers Insurance Group has writ-ten two checks, totaling $80,000, to the Leadership Council.

So while the season of giving to politicians might be drawing to an end, there seem to be plenty of people, and companies, hoping to receive something in return soon.

The City of Auburn officially kicked off the holiday season this past Saturday with its annual Santa Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting.

Revelers gathered on Main Street and in front of City Hall to await the arrival of that jolly old elf, Saint Nick, who arrived via antique fire truck, in lieu of the usual sleigh and reindeer.

After brief remarks from Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, somebody threw the switch to light the tree and the holiday season was on.

Trojan girls aim for return to glory daysBY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

When Jon Price attend-ed Auburn High School the Trojan girls basketball program was no ordinary program.

From the start of the program in 1974 through the 80s and 90s, the Lady Trojans were dominant, perpetual winners of the North Puget Sound League and South Puget Sound League titles and perennial state tourna-ment competitors.

In fact, prior to 2000 the Auburn girls appeared in the Washington State 4A or 3A championship tourneys an astounding 20 times out of 24 years, win-ning 16 league titles, three district championships and two state titles.

Since 2000, however, the Trojans have fallen on hard times, moving on to the state tourney just twice

in the past 14 seasons.Price, a 1992 AHS

graduate and the pro-gram’s new head coach, intends to change that.

“There are ways we’re going to try to make connections and link the past to the present,” Price said. “These girls don’t know that this was the preeminent basketball program in the state. Not in 4A, not in 3A, where they were at the time, but the state. They were the best program in the state under guys like Dennis Olson, Tony Higgins and Ed Bender. We need to get back to what they es-tablished here. Which was players that were as tough as nails, and smart.”

No small task for Price, the former Auburn Moun-tainview boys head coach coaching girls for the first time.

TYE DUTCHER POSTS DISTRICT TIMES AT MEET

Auburn Riverside senior Tye Dutcher posted a pair of

district qualifying times in his first swim meet of the season this pastTuesday. Swimming

against River Ridge at the Auburn School District Pool, Dutcher posted a 1 minute,

3.59 second time in the 100-yard backstroke and a 53.30

in the 100 freestyle – both good enough to qualify him

for the district meet Feb. 13-14 at the Hazen Pool in Renton.Also swimming to first-place

finishes at the meet were Tyler Smith, first in the 200 free with

a 2:38.46, and Garrett Rosin, first in diving with 198.10

points. River Ridge beat the Ravens 94-78.

Girls hoop previews AUBURN RIVERSIDE COACH: Derek Pegram, second yearLAST SEASON: 14-11 overall, 2-3 in postseason with an appearance in the district tournament.IMPACT PLAYERS: McKenzi Wil-liams, 5-foot-5, sophomore, guard; Olivia Denton, 5-7, sophomore, guard; Rachel Davey, 5-8, senior, guard; Ayanna Ford, 5-6, senior, guard; and Payton Dunne, 5-10, senior, forward.TOP NEWCOMERS: Faith Turner, 6-3, sophomore, post.LAST STATE APPEARANCE: 2011.OUTLOOK: Given the loss of four key players from last year’s squad, the Ravens may be a little light in on-court experience. Leading scorer Brittni Williams is gone, and Simona Allen, Dannielle Brickner and Emily Vaines have graduated. The Ravens look to their youth in the backfield to make headway in the South Puget Sound League 3A this season. According to Pegram, the sopho-more guard tandem of Denton and McKenzie Williams should lead the way. The duo has played together at Mt. Baker Middle School for Tree of Hope (select team), and now all the girls are starters for Auburn River-side. “We have good guard play led by two sophomores, (but we) also have some impactful post players,” Pegram said. The Ravens boast some height in the front court with 6-3 post Turner, 5-10 forward Dunne, and 6-2 forward Kiana Drumheller. “Having lost four significant play-ers from last season, this group of young Ravens looks to build chemis-try together and compete at the

top of the league and into the playoffs,” he said. KEY GAMES: The Ravens host the always-tough Enumclaw Hornets at 7 p.m. Dec. 16. The Ravens pres-ent their Holiday classic at Auburn Riverside on Dec. 29-30.

AUBURN COACH: Jon Price, first yearLAST SEASON: 2-18 overall, last place in the SPSL North 4A.LAST STATE APPEARANCE: 2008.IMPACT PLAYERS: Sydney Dewitt, 5-8, sophomore, guard; Nylok Yat, 5-9, senior, post; Masar Hassoun, 5-6, junior, guard; Maria Rodriguez, 5-1, sophomore, guard; Keira Keine-Hoiland, 5-7, fresh-man, wing; Mickelle Howard, 5-4, junior, wing; and Maysen Tinney, 5-9, sophomore, post.

OUTLOOK: Jon Price means to return the Auburn girls program to glory. Over the years, the Trojans have won 16 league titles, nine dis-trict titles and two state titles. “The Trojans are rebuilding with a young team of almost all underclassmen,”

said Price, who previously coached the Auburn Mountainview boys. “Our motto is ‘better every day,’ and that’s what we are striving to do, get better every day. Auburn is a proud, storied girls basketball program, and we are working hard to rebuild it from the ground up.” With just one senior on the roster, Price said, the team looks to over-come inexperience and a lack of size with its “energy, heart tough-ness and coachability.” The team gets a boost with the transfer of Dewitt, who earned All-SPSL North 4A honorable-mention honors last season at Federal Way.KEY GAMES: Let the cross-town rivalries begin. The Trojans host Auburn Riverside on Jan. 13 and play Auburn Mountainview for the second time on Jan. 16.

AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW COACH: Dustin DePiano, second yearLAST SEASON: 20-6 overall, SPSL 3A champions, lost in first round of state regionals.LAST STATE APPEARANCE: 2014.TOP IMPACT PLAYERS: Brianna Zaragoza-Jones, 5-5, junior, guard;

Carlie Sahlin, sophomore, guard; Tanya Spatarel, 5-9, junior, post; and Sarah Bailey, 5-8, senior, guard.

STRENGTH: The Lions look to garner experience quickly in the SPSL 3A. With no returning start-ers – the Lions’ only projected returning starter Eli Alfrey tore her ACL playing soccer this fall – the team needs someone to step up on the court. “I could see us strug-gling early on while the girls adjust to varsity basketball,” DePiano said. Zaragoza-Jones, who was an All-SPSL 3A honorable-mention performer last year, returns. The Lions have four post players look-ing to play lots of minutes. “I think we have a decent amount of talent, and after some work we’ll be ready to compete in what’s become a tougher league with the addition of the other Auburn schools and Sumner.”

KEY GAMES: The Lions take on SPSL 4A Kentlake in the ShoWare Shootout on Dec. 20. Auburn Mountainview begins its second spin around the SPSL 3A in January, with home games against Auburn on Jan. 16 and Auburn Riverside on Jan. 20.

Last season the Trojans finished last in the SPSL North 4A with a 2-18 record.

According to Price, the change starts with mental attitude, not only in the program but school wide.

“We’ve got to change the mentality at the school,” Price said. “And we’re going to get there.

“It’s a process,” he added. “It’s not going to take a week, it’s not going to take a year, it’s going to take a lot of time. We’ve gone from zero youth kids playing in the program to 25, with two solid teams. That’s progress, and that will pay off down the road for us. I’m cautious-ly optimistic. We’ve just got to get kids committed. We’ve got four or five committed, but we need 25.”

To achieve the level of buy-in required to turn the program around, Price said, he relies on the leadership of his team co-captains, juniors Mikelle Howard and Sydney Dewitt, to guide the squad.

“He tells us how good they were when he was in school and how we need to build our program back up to that,” Howard said. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work, but we’ll get there.”

Howard and Dewitt agree that they will be working on team chemistry.

“We’re planning on doing team bonding and mak-ing sure we’re all together,” Howard said.

“It’s about just checking up on each other and mak-ing sure we’re all together and on the same page,” Dewitt said. “And helping whenever anyone is having a bad day.”

On the court it’s all about hard work for the team, which boasts one senior, three juniors, four sopho-mores and two freshman.

“We definitely work hard, we just need to work on execution,” Howard said. “We pressure really well. We don’t always have good attitudes, we need to work on that.”

Dewitt agreed:“As a team we show a lot

of effort, we put 110 percent out there,” Dewitt said. “We need to work on our mental attitude. We need to know

in our heads when we’re down that we’ve got this game, and that we can get back up.”

According to Price it’s all about doing the small things and taking small steps.

“What we’re talking about is ‘better every day,’” Price said. “We need to be better today than we were yesterday. Better tomorrow than we were today. It’s in-cremental, but we’ve just got to be better. What I want is effort for 32 minutes every night. I think we’re getting that, for the most part.”

Price continued:“I’m proud of the girls

right now,” Price said. “They say perception is reality, and the reality is we need to get better right now. And that’s my perception.”

Senior Sam Lindsey also finished first, pinning team-mate Kyle Guthrie at the 3-minute, 21-second mark in the 195-pound title bout.

Auburn got a one-two finish in the 285-pound heavyweight class with Jacob Apodaca knocking off Mario Levano 4-2.

Second-place finishes went to Drew Aplin (120)

and Alex Murry (182). Earning top-four finishes

were: Balteer Rana, fourth at 126 pounds; Bailey Min-nar, third at 182; and Luke Walker, third at 220 pounds.

Auburn Riverside finished eighth in the team standings with 32 points, with A.I. Shackleford snag-ging fourth at 113; Jose Juarez finishing fourth at 160; Scott Esparsa grab-bing fourth at 220 and John

Coon taking home fourth in the 285-pound division.

Tahoma finished first at the 10-team invite with 214.5 points.

After Auburn’s second-place team finish were – in descending order: Kelso, 98.5; South Kitsap, 87; Vashon, 85.5; Todd Beamer, 83; Kentridge, 74; Auburn Riverside, 32; Cascade Christian, 11; and Kentlake 0.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) 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 quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a 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.

Maritime artist takes People’s Choice Award at local exhibitBY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Austin Dwyer sees beauty and mystery through mist.

It’s a powerful technique, a method the award-winning maritime artist uses to draw people to his paintings.

Such an engaging work is “Winter Respite,” an oil painting that captured the imagination of onlookers and the People’s Choice Award at the recently com-pleted Small Works, Big Presents: The Gift of Art exhibit at the White River Valley Museum.

As its title suggests, the painting shows a small but powerful tugboat taking a break, tied to a dock in a fog-shrouded harbor.

“When you have a mist, you get that illusion of depth or distance, which the artist is looking for,” said Dwyer, 76, of Mukilteo, who has painted and taught art for many years in the Northwest. “When you look at the painting in the mist … you have a strong focal point and then after that, things begin to disappear in space. I think that’s what’s exciting about mist. It makes people look more into the painting, to

get more involved in your painting.

“And there is something about a tugboat that’s so romantic.”

For winning the exhibit’s People’s Choice Award, Dwyer received a $400 cash prize and the opportunity to have “Winter Respite” grace next year’s invitation.

The juried art show and sale closes Sunday at the museum, 918 H St. SE, Auburn.

Dwyer’s style is all his own, impressionistic and realistic. He enjoys paint-ing all things on high seas and gentle waters but also shines creating landscapes, “plein air” outdoors and portraits.

Painting brings out the best in him. Dwyer calls it

an obsession, yet his devo-tion to his craft hasn’t kept him from spending time with family and friends. He

and his wife, Mig, raised eight children, and dote on 22 grandchildren.

Through his art, Dwyer

is able to give something back. He teaches art to small groups and continues to guest lecture at universi-ties. He is frequently asked to jury shows and conduct workshops.

Born in County Tipper-ary, Ireland, Dwyer traveled extensively before landing in the United States to join the Air Force. After being

discharged in 1961, he arrived in Seattle a proud American citizen.

Dwyer is a fellow and past president of the Puget Sound Group of North-west Painters. He is also a signature member of the American Society of Ma-rine Artists and member of its board of directors.

Austin Dwyer’s oil painting, ‘Winter Respite,’ received the People’s Choice Award at the Small Works, Big Presents: The Gift of Art exhibit at the White River Valley Museum. COURTESY
