The King County Pros-ecutor’s office last Friday charged a 38-year-old Des Moines man with four counts of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault for the accident Oct. 25 on Auburn Way South that killed four young people and severely injured a fifth.
Police say Nicholas W. Anderson had taken a friend’s Nissan and, under the influence of alcohol, was driving it at least 60 mph in a posted 35-mph zone just before 2 a.m.
when he lost control, left the road, slammed into a tree and mowed down three utility boxes.
The accident killed Andrew Tedford, 31, Caleb Graham, 23, Rehlein Stone, 21, and Suzanne McCay, 29. James Vaccaro, 23, sus-tained severe head trauma and remains in a coma at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, facing what doctors have told authori-ties are dim prospects for recovery.
All of the victims were passengers in the Nissan. A dog that had been in the car

Police, fire and emergency re-sponders of all kinds rely on King County’s radio system every minute of every day to do their jobs.
But the system’s provider, the
Motorola Company, has already told King County that after 2017, it will no longer support the 20-year-old equipment that constitutes the county’s present emergency radio system.
Although King County expects
to put a bond issue out to taxpay-ers sometime next April to pay for up-to-date equipment – also to be provided by Motorola – it is too early in the game to say exactly how much the county will ask for.

The City of Auburn is giving up on its eight-year-old red-light photo enforcement system.
That much the City decided Nov. 17 when, by a 4-3 vote, councilmem-bers, having decided weeks earlier not to continue with the present vendor, decided against awarding a contract to a new vendor, Massachu-setts-based GATSO, Inc.
One question now – when will the vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems of Arizona, take away the cameras and pull out the underground sensors and wiring at all the photo-enforced
intersections?All anybody can say at this point
is, within the next month or two.“It’s the question I have,” said
Councilman Wayne Osborne of the interval when removal starts and finishes. “That’s a question that will be settled by the administration.”
“They had been waiting for the news of who would be awarded the contract, and hoping it would be them,” Mayor Nancy Backus said Monday of Redflex. “They’d hoped to replace the equipment that’s there now with their own new equipment. Now they know.”
Police Chief Bob Lee said as far
as the affect on his department is concerned, the patrol officer who has been coming in several hours a day to review video and photos of potential infractions will no longer be doing that.
“The officer will be on the street, patrolling,” Lee said.
The City launched the program on June 30, 2006 at two intersections: Auburn Way South and 4th Street Southeast; and Auburn Way South and M Street Southeast. It added Har-vey Road and 8th Street in December of that year. Today the program equips school zone safety cameras for Mt. Baker Middle School and in the school
safety zones of Chinook, Dick Scobee, Lea Hill and Arthur Jacobsen elemen-tary schools.
It was the marked drop every year since the cameras went live in the number of infractions issued – ironi-cally one sign of its success – that the system was no longer paying for itself, and the “unfriendly mes-sage” it sent to out-of-town visitors that soured City leaders on Redflex and turned them against the photo enforcement program.
The contract with Redflex expires at the end of the year. The City had paid the company $180,000 every year to keep things going.
Red-light camera system to be removed soon
THE GREEN RIVER COMPOSITE SQUADRON hosts an open house at 7 p.m. Dec. 4 in celebration of the Civil Air Patrol’s 73rd anni-versary. The gathering is at the Auburn Eagles Building, 702 M St. SE.
Mayor Nancy Backus will present the squad-ron with a proclamation declaring Dec. 1-7 as Civil Air Patrol Week in Auburn.
Cadets and senior members will be on hand to answer ques-tions.

A U B U R N˜253-833-0218
BY ROBERT WHALE
The King County Prosecutor’s Office on Nov. 19 charged the owner and caregiver of two adult family homes in Auburn with one count of second-degree rape for what it claims was his Nov. 13 sexual assault on an 83-year-old, fully-disabled female resident af-flicted with advanced dementia.
Laszlo Molnar, 67, posted $200,000 bail at his bail hearing last Saturday and was released from custody. Prosecutors, however, con-cerned that he posed a flight risk, persuaded the judge to increase the bail to $750,000 and officers booked him into jail the new bail amount on Nov. 18, KCPO spokesman Dan
Donohoe said.Upon Laszlo’s arrest, police
removed all 12 elderly female residents from the two homes and ambulances transported them to area hospitals, where they are to stay until arrangements can be made for their future care. Au-burn Police say there has been no activity at the adult homes since Nov. 13.
According to the Auburn Police Department’s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause, on which the single charge is based, here is what happened:
Having responded to AA Adult Family Home at 2705 Forest Ridge Drive SE at 7:20 p.m. upon the complaint of the elderly wom-an’s daughter, police learned that
she had become suspicious that something bad was happening to her mother, so she hid a camera in the room and thus obtained video proof of the assault.
According to charging papers, the video depicts Laszlo walking into the room and helping the woman up to a sitting position with her legs dangling over the edge. He pulls down his sweat-pants, forces the reluctant woman to perform a sex act on him on him for about five minutes, pulls up his pants again and escorts her out of the room in her wheelchair.
The daughter said she had become concerned several weeks earlier when she noticed her mother holding onto her hand longer and with a stronger grip
each time the daughter tried to leave, “with sadness in her eyes,” according to charging papers.
According to charging papers, the daughter told police that her mother, who had been at the home for the past 2½ years, can’t talk and “is physically disabled to the point that she is unable to perform any functions of daily living to include dressing, bathing or feeding. She is not ambulatory and must have others push her around in a wheelchair.”
Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Page Ulrey made the following comments to the court at the second bail hearing.
“The defendant has lost his income as well as at least some of his ties to the community,”
Ulrey said. “The defendant has ties to the East Coast and ap-pears to have ties to Russia and Hungary. … In addition, Auburn Police Department’s investiga-tion has revealed that there may be more victims. If convicted, the defendant faces a lengthy prison sentence.”
Ulrey added that Laszlo’s wife, Teresita Molnar, had failed to ap-pear for a meeting on Nov. 17 that had been scheduled with one of the victim’s relatives.
“The suspect confirmed to detectives what was on the video,” said Auburn Police Cmdr Mark Callier. “Whether he’s completely forthcoming or not we don’t know 100 percent. As of right now, we only have the one victim.”

Lackluster support for I-594 may have hurt Democrats
Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in the election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out.
Party leaders all along thought the popular measure requiring background checks be conducted on buyers of guns online and through private sales would spur some of those prone to skipping midterm elections to participate.
They believed a small boost of pro-Democrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican.
It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers – sometimes in communities where the measure was passing handily.
Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Demo-
crats in the process. Those seats are in dis-tricts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap coun-ties.
Initiative 594 is pass-ing in all those counties, except Mason, according
to data assembled thus far by initiative sup-porters. Precinct-by-precinct details won’t be available until next month when election results are certified.
“I don’t think it hurt us but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” admitted Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.
One explanation is that in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with vot-ers, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative. Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and went on to win with 54.5 percent.
Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure as best they could. They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994 when the national gun rights group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban. The NRA flexed its muscles again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative.
Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Commit-tee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994.
Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly.

Red-light cameras are needed
Whoa! What’s wrong with this picture? Traffic citations are down over the past six years after Auburn deployed the “red-light running” cameras.
Hello. That indicates the system is working, and yet the City Council has decided to discontinue the program. Of course, as a result of this suc-cess, citation revenue is down, but revenue was not the reason we deployed the cameras. Right?
The total number of ac-cidents has not significantly decreased over this period. The FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) states this is typical. But percentage wise, the types of accidents tend to significantly change from the more deadly side or (T-bone) accidents to the less serious rear-end type.
FHWA analyses establish that this trade-off is beneficial in reducing injury and cost, as realized in reduced hospital bills, property damage to vehicles, insurance expenses, value of lost quality of life, etc. Statistically, their study reveals red-light cameras indirectly save society $39,000 to $50,000 per intersec-tion annually. This assumes, of course, that the cameras were deployed correctly at carefully chosen locations where histori-cal traffic problems have been a major concern.
Kudos to Councilmember Bill Peloza and the two other councilmembers who voted to continue this program.
If at all possible, we should continue this program. Our traffic continues to worsen yearly, and our lives and safety are worth the cost of supple-menting the citation revenue.– Don Jensen
Thanks, council, for removing the cameras
I want to thank the City Council for removing the red light cameras. Especially in these days of limited budgets, I see no reason for spending money when statistics show there is nothing gained in ac-cident reduction.
I am one of those drivers who have had the driver before me slam on the brakes for what I assume was fear of running a red light when they would have cleared the intersection if they had just continued at their current speed.– Dan Shields
College isn’t living up to faculty’s contract
I would like to congratulate Dr. Eileen Ely and the Green River Community College administration on their recent victory.
Through sustained and determined effort, and sparing no expense, the administra-tion has been able to exploit a loophole to not pay faculty what the faculty contracts stipulate. But don’t worry, the raises for those in administra-tion are safe.
So call out a hearty “well done!” the next time you pass the Administration Building on the GRCC campus, though they may not be able to hear you over the sound of popping champagne corks.
Sure, as a faculty member, I may feel slighted, but I have been assured that maybe I will, perhaps, be paid some-thing someday, if they feel like it.
Though my enthusiasm for staying at GRCC is damp-ened, I know – and I am sure the administration knows – that most faculty are reluc-tant to leave, if for no other reason than that we would lose what little job security we retain.
I guess I’ll have to pin my hopes on getting an email from administration around Christmastime, telling me how valued I am. That will give me warm cuddlies in my tummy.– Tim McDaniel

“We didn’t energize our base enough and the other side did,” he said. “I just think we got caught in the wave.”
Backers of Initiative 594 wonder if Demo-crats may revise their analysis when the final numbers are known for the election.
While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Demo-crats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place.
“We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign.
“That’s a message can-didates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.
And one that Demo-crats may wish they had paid more attention to in the election.

or social economics, all for the love of students and their future.”
“Auburn is blessed to have Dr. Herren as our superintendent, due to his focus on kids, staff and the Auburn School District patrons,” said Ray Vefik, president of the Auburn School District Board of Directors. “He embodies advocacy, role modeling, leadership, integrity, a hard-working attitude and is not
afraid to talk about change. “Dr. Herren represents the best in
a superintendent. Under his leader-ship, the Auburn School District is well on its way to fulfilling the aspirations of being a world-class education system,” Vefik said.
As winner of the state award, Herren is among the finalists for the 2015 National Superintendent of the Year award, which is to be announced in February.
Herren has been in education for 40 years, 35 of those years in the Auburn district, with seven served as the district’s superintendent.
Under Herren’s watch, the Auburn School District recently won the Road Map Collective Impact award for closing achievement gaps. During the last three years, Auburn schools have won 52 individual Washington State Achievement Awards owing to implementation of Professional
Learning Communities (PLC), a teacher leader academy, distributed leadership, data analysis for continu-ous improvement, standards-based teaching and reciprocal account-ability for learning, and systems innovation.
The district has 15,000 students with 56 percent poverty, 25 per-cent Hispanic and 2,500 English language learners from 65 different first languages.
[ HERREN from page 1 ]
In addition to new equipment, King County has talked about replacing today’s multiple networks with a single network, thereby putting all the groups now taking ad-vantage of King County’s Valley Com — that is, King County, the cities of Auburn, Bellevue, Fed-eral Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila – under one umbrella for the establish-ment, implementation and operation of the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network System.
Making that happen will take a lot of cooperation among those entities. And of course, a lot of money.
Auburn’s participation should come up to a vote before the City Council, perhaps as early as the first
meeting in December. A yes vote would authorize Mayor Nancy Backus to negotiate and execute the interlocal agreements.
The City’s Municipal Services Committee discussed the pending resolution Monday before forwarding it to the full council.
“They’re replacing the police radios because Mo-torola is no longer going to support the radio system they have,” said Auburn City Councilman Wayne Osborne, a member of the committee. “They’re going to have to move into the next generation. You gotta realize, Motorola is (in a powerful position here).”
City Attorney Dan Heid said recently that the pressing need is for all the user groups to agree on the details of the pending agreement to set up the nonprofit that is to run
the operational end of the new system, if there is to be one.
“We’ve set this up so the mayor can negotiate the final terms because we’re running out of time,” Heid said. “If King County really wants to be success-ful in getting this before the voters, time is of the absolute essence.”
Two boards would in charge of the nonprofit: an administrative board, made up of mayors and the chief executive officers of the different cities; and a technical board, constitut-ed of police and fire chiefs and other user groups.
All entities would par-ticipate, but there would be only one representative from the south side of the county, one speaking for the eastside cities, one for King County and one from Seattle.
[ SYSTEM from page 1 ] Humana, MultiCare Health System to launch Accountable CareFOR THE REPORTER
MultiCare Health System and Humana Inc., one of the country’s leading health and well-being companies, has announced a new Accountable Care arrange-ment and partnership focused on improved health for Humana’s Medicare Ad-vantage members in South King and Pierce counties.

was later euthanized because of its catastrophic injuries.
Anderson had been at large ever since his release from Harborview Medi-cal Center until Nov. 20 when he was arrested in Port Angeles in Clallam County. He was booked last Friday morning into the Maleng Regional Justice Center, where he is to be arraigned at 9 a.m., Dec. 1 in courtroom GA. His bail is $750,000.
Here, according to the Determination of Probable Cause (DPC) prepared by the Auburn Police Depart-ment, is what happened:
On Oct. 25 at 1:59 a.m., Valley Com dispatched Auburn Police officers to the 3700 block of Auburn Way South in response to multiple reports of a car into a tree.
What the first officer found, according to the
DPC, was a white Nissan facing northwest in an em-bankment on the north side of Auburn Way South, with “total catastrophic damage” to its interior and undercar-riage. Only the driver’s seat had been spared.
According to the DPC, the violence of the colli-sion had uprooted a tree 18 inches in diameter that was lying on the ground. The vehicle had also knocked over three power boxes and dislodged two guy wires stabilizing a power pole.
According to the DPC, the front end of the vehicle was separated from the trunk, with only the driver’s door lock holding the two pieces together. The vehi-cle’s entire interior flooring had broken apart.
Bodies lay scattered on the ground.
The officer found Anderson sitting on the ground amongst the bodies. According to the DPC, the officer caught a strong odor
of intoxicants on Ander-son and found his speech slurred and appeared im-paired. Medics performed a blood draw.
According to the DPC, Anderson admitted to the of-ficer during a post-Miranda interview that he had taken the Nissan from his room-mate that evening and driven to Enumclaw to pick up Stone because she had called him for a ride, possibly to her mother’s house in Auburn. According to the DPC, at that point he said that he remembered nothing else and did not want to talk to the officer any more.
According to charg-ing papers, Anderson is a repeat DUI offender and a convicted felon. His history in Washington lists mali-cious mischief and reckless driving. Elsewhere his his-tory lists a DUI in Eugene, Ore., a habitual traffic offender-moving violation in Ocala, Fla., and a DV arrest in Mobile, Ala.

to live with that,” Givens said of her girl, her best friend and a gifted student athlete who graduated from Auburn River-side High School. “I tell people that I’m a different person than I was a year ago. I’m not that same person because there is always a sadness there. But God helps get you through those days. Prayer and people praying for me get me through it.”
It also helps knowing that her daughter gave life to others as an organ donor.
The Muckleshoot Tribal School – where Rachel was a member, a para-educator and a coach – and LifeCenter Northwest honored her with a ceremony on Nov. 19. Family and former students united to complete a flor-agraph portrait – a flower-shaped likeness of Rachel – that will be part of the Donate Life Float in the 126th Rose Parade on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, Calif.
“I don’t know what it feels like for a person who loses a child
that doesn’t do organ donation,” Givens said. “But I know for my-self, knowing that my daughter’s heart is still beating, knowing that my daughter has helped some-one walk without pain, knowing that my daughter’s letting other daughters and mothers and aun-ties see or hug their kids, all that is what I think about in those hard
times.”Givens vividly remem-
bers Oct. 7, 2013.She had just dropped
Rachel off with friends when she got a phone call.
“One of her good friends had called me and said that she got hit,” Givens said. “And that’s all they said. So I was, ‘What do you mean got hit? I just left her 10 minutes ago.’”
The friend didn’t have any details, but Givens knew that Rachel was on her had been to the Log Cabin Pub in Sumner.
“So I’m thinking … as I’m driving there that
she got hit in a car, or she got hit in a fight. I’m thinking all those things,” she said. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think it was going to play (out) like the mov-ies.”
But it did.As she approached the scene of
the accident, Givens knew right
away something was wrong.“It was like the movies where
the mother runs up to the scene. There are police all around, and you’re telling them your daughter is in there,” Givens said. “And they let you through. And I was look-ing for her, looking for a car that flipped, anything else. Then you see your daughter on the ground with five EMTs working on her.”
Rachel was transported to Ta-coma General Hospital in critical condition and died two days later.
The driver of the vehicle – a small dark sedan or sports car heading north on East Valley Highway that struck Rachel – still hasn’t stepped forward, nor has anyone turned them in, despite a hefty reward for information.
Givens said she doesn’t hold a grudge toward the unknown driver, nor does she need to blame anyone for closure.
“I don’t need that. That person lives with what she or he has done … every day they have to live with what happened,” Givens said. “I have no hate toward them because you can’t hate.”
It’s a lesson she learned from Rachel.
“She never held a grudge,” Givens said. “One word that comes to mind was humble. People didn’t know that she was a two-time state champion (on the Auburn Riverside basketball team) or that she was featured in the Seattle Times (for her all-state performance as the Ravens’ soccer goalkeeper). They just knew that Rachel was fun and nice. They didn’t know any of that.”
Rachel was also generous. “Rachel’s giving nature re-
ally defined her life,” said Kevin O’Connor, CEO of LifeCenter Northwest. “The generosity exhibited in her life continues on through her organ, tissue and cornea donation. We are ever so grateful for Rachel’s gifts.”
Givens has received letters from recipients of Rachel’s donations. She hopes to meet them someday.
“To know that heartbeat was once in my daughter, it’s surreal,” Givens said. “If I don’t have that, at least I know that the person is living because of Rachel.”

...Pampered Pets
BY KATHY LANG
Family Dog Training Center
Your child – or significant other – is already hinting about a puppy, or dog, for Christmas. Good idea or not? The quick answer: Prob-ably not.
Adding a pet to the family is a serious commitment, one that requires much consideration, discussion, research and plan-ning. Dogs are not like computers
or gadgets that you choose based on looks or features, and discard when the next model comes out or your needs change. Dogs are a lifetime commitment.
If your entire family is eagerly looking forward to a four-legged addition, and everyone is ready to help with housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, exercise, obedience training, household manners, poop patrol, veterinary
visits and you have the finances to pay for all the associated expenses that come with owning a dog, that’s wonderful. You’re ready for the next step.
Answer these questions: What breed? Or combination of breeds? Young puppy? Adolescent dog? Adult or senior? Breeder, rescue or shelter? Base these decisions on your lifestyle. Is your family high energy, active and social? Do
you have young children? Do the adults work outside the home? Are the dog’s primary caregivers easy-going and laid back? Do you have a large, securely fenced yard? Is your vehicle equipped to safely transport your new addition when it’s fully grown? Anyone in the family have allergies? How much grooming and shedding are you willing to handle?
Way too many dogs are
returned to their breeders or dropped off at shelters because their caregivers did not hon-estly evaluate their readiness for a canine companion, and this hap-pens more frequently during the holidays. Do your research, both online and in person.
If your family is truly ready to add a dog in December, plan for a long weekend or a week of vacation when your house is quiet. This will make the transition as easy as possible. Many breeders encourage their prospective puppy owners to wait until after the holidays to bring their new bundle of joy home.
Holiday proofing your (dog) houseBY KATHY LANG
Family Dog Training Center
Everyone with pets has humorous, and horrific, holiday stories to share.
My first puppy was given way too much freedom. In one of his more active mo-ments he managed to run through the living room, get tangled in the Christ-mas tree lights and topple the evergreen. That taught me to barricade or elevate the tree when there are
puppies in the house.The following year my
now year-older German Shepherd managed to reach over the barricade surrounding the tree and eat his fill of candy canes hanging from the branches he could reach. Fortunately, he discarded the metal hangers.
That taught me never to decorate with edible orna-ments and to reconsider leaving an adolescent dog loose in the house while I was at work.
The next year my now adult German Shepherd ignored the tree but discov-
ered the bowl of nuts and the fancy nutcracker on the end table. While I was out for dinner, he helped him-self. The wooden nutcrack-er had been taste-tested and effectively destroyed.
Over the last 30 years my holiday decorating has var-ied based on the maturity of the four-legged family members residing in my household. I’ve learned to look at everything through my dogs’ and cats’ eyes. Puppies and kittens are naturally attracted to things that are new, different, shiny and smelly. A glass ornament hanging from the
tree looks like a fancy ball, inviting play. A real tree smells just like the one in the yard that the adolescent lifts his leg on. The wrapped package with the fancy
ribbon may hide the ap-pearance of the sausage and cheese logs, but they don’t hide the aroma from the skilled canine sniffer.
For many families, a
good, pet-friendly compro-mise is to limit the holiday decorations and gift place-ment to those locations that are safe from prying paws and claws.

Mawing finalist for prestigious jockey award
Leslie Mawing, the leading rider at Emerald Downs in 2014, is a finalist for one of Thoroughbred racing’s most prestigious awards.
Mawing is among five
riders named by Santa Anita as finalists for the 2015 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award. James Graham, Corey Nakatani, Mike Luzzi and Rosie Napravnik were also named.
The winner will be an-nounced in January and is usually presented with the award in March.
Held in conjunc-tion with the Jockeys’ Guild, and voted on by jockeys nation-wide, the
Woolf Award is presented to a jockey whose career
and personal character earn esteem for the rider and the sport of Thorough-bred racing. It is named in memory of the Hall of Fame jockey who suffered fatal injuries in a racing accident at Santa Anita on Jan. 3, 1946.
Mawing rode 102 win-ners at Emerald Downs in 2014 – 32 more than run-
ner-up Rocco Bowen – and notched his first Longacres Mile victory aboard Horse of the Meeting Stryker Phd. A 40-year-old native of South Africa, Mawing has 2,240 career wins and more than $24 million in purse earnings. Mawing is No. 4 at the track in all-time wins, 597, and stakes wins, 32.

The dream is still alive for David Paulson
Ten weeks after being cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers – the team that drafted him with the 240th pick in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft – the Renton-born tight end, who played at Auburn Riverside High and the University of Or-egon, signed with the San Diego Charger practice squad.
“After I worked out, they told they were going to pick me up,” Paulson said. “I’m glad. I like (San
Diego) a lot. The weather is awesome.”
Also known as scout teams, the practice squad allows the 6-foot-4,
246-pound Paulson to work out with the team but not participate in games unless he is signed to the active 53-man
roster. Practice squads players are free agents and may sign with any other NFL team’s 53-man roster. Scout team
players earn a minimum of $6,000 a week, with no limit on how much a team can pay them.
For the 25-year-old Paulson, who was cut after two seasons in Pittsburgh, playing for the Chargers is also another opportunity to learn from a veteran player, this time All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates.
“It’s real fun to watch the things he does,” Paulson said. “He plays at such a high level.”
Paulson said it’s similar to his situation in Pitts-burgh, where he played behind All-Pro tight end Heath Miller and backup Matt Spaeth
“I learned a ton in Pittsburgh,” Paulson said. “Heath Miller is a great tight end, and so is Matt Spaeth. I just followed those guys, worked out

with them and trained with them. They taught me a lot about playing at this level, especially how to take care of my body.”
During his time in Pitts-burgh, Paulson played in 32 games, starting nine and finishing with 13 catches for 153 yards.
Paulson said it was dif-ficult to deal with being cut by the Steelers.
“It was really tough,” he said. “I haven’t had to deal with that very often in my career playing foot-ball, so it was a different experience for me. I wasn’t
anywhere for a few weeks. It was tough.”
Preparing for life after football, Paulson said he and his wife moved back to
Auburn.“But I
was trav-eling ev-ery week to work out with teams,” Paulson said.
Luckily, the Chargers liked what they saw.
Paulson said his game is light years ahead of where he was when he graduated from Oregon.
“(I’m better at) every-thing. The mental part especially, I really under-stand football better the longer I’m at this level,” Paulson said. “I’m trying to improve my blocking the most. I think I’m a lot bet-ter than I was, but I’m still not 100 percent.”
Despite getting another chance at cracking an NFL roster, Paulson said the time off forced him to be-gin thinking about what’s next.
“I think about what I’m going to do when it’s over,” he said. “It’s hard because I’ve been doing football so long, so I want to stay
involved because I love it. But also I want to try something new. I’ve got a business degree, a masters in business. So maybe combining sports and the degree would be nice. But I’ve never had to have a real job, so I think about it a lot.”
Paulson starred in high school for the Ravens, where he played quarter-back his senior year, and shined at Oregon, where he finished his career with 67 receptions with 1,041 yards and 10 touchdowns and was an SI.com All-Amer-ican honorable-mention performer.

The Rainier Plateau Junior Rugby club is seeking female and male players for its spring session.
According to club spokes-person Andy Ramsay, the club looks to fill rosters on all of its teams, including U19, U17, U15 and the new U13 squads.
“The new season will com-mence in mid-January with a week of prospective player camps intended to offer a free-of-charge opportunity for boys and girls who may have an interest in finding out if they feel this is a sport they would like to participate in,”
Ramsay said, adding there was no commitment after the camps were over.
Once the regular season begins, team members can sign up, with practices tak-ing place twice a week in the evenings at local high schools, including Auburn and Sumner.
“This schedule allows students to continue their commitments to other after school sports or club activities,” Ramsay said. “Students currently involved in wrestling, basketball and other winter sports will be welcomed after those seasons conclude in February.”
Ramsay continued:“The rugby matches will
commence in late Febru-ary with the boys playing on Saturdays and girls on Sunday afternoons,” he said. “The season ends in early May with some byes around spring break. The girls team will be traveling to Van-couver Island, Canada for a two-game tour in April and will also be hosting teams from Oregon and Canada. The U17 and U19 boys team will have the oppor-tunity to travel to Oregon to an annual preseason tournament.”
The club will also offer a summer season, which last year produced the boys and girls U15 Washington State runner-ups.
The club hosts a series of informational sessions for prospective players and their children in December. For schedule and more infor-mation, visit the program’s website at www.rainierjunior-rugby.com, or at its Facebook page at RainierRFC.
“Rugby is a very inexpen-sive sport to play compared to other youth sports, which require extensive personal equipment and uniforms,” Ramsay said. “With rugby, the only real necessity is a pair of soccer or football cleats.”
Ramsay said aid and reduced fees were available for financially-challenged players.

After suffering his first defeat in an ESPN2-televised bout at Shelton’s Little Creek Casino on July 11, Auburn’s Mike Gavronski returned to the ring on Nov. 15 with fists burning.
The 163-pound Gavronski (15-1-1, with 10 knockouts) scored a unanimous decision over Houston’s Gerardo Ibarra (14-2-0, 8 KOs) in the 10-round main event of the Battle of the Boat 98 fight card at Tacoma’s Emerald Queen Casino.
The judges scored it 97-93, 97-93, 96-94.
Ibarra refused to take a back-ward step and did not disap-point. He was in the fight from the beginning and landed some vicious shots. His punches ap-peared harder than Gavronski’s, but Gavronski landed more to give him the hard-fought middleweight victory.
Gavronski brought the crowd to its feet. The venue erupted in cheers after the announced vic-tory, and Gavronski, swarmed by fans, had difficulty returning to his dressing room.
Gavronski, a local favorite and a rising national star, refused to discuss his one loss to Tureano Johnson, a fight in which he won the first three rounds but then seemed to tire. The past does not concern him, only the future, a future in which his fight name,
“Imagine,” contains a long line of victories.
Sam Ditusa is Gavronski’s trainer and manager.
Brian Halquist Productions staged its 98th boxing event at the Emerald Queen, with Gavronski as the main attraction. Gavronski brings in fans from throughout the state, eager to watch his rise in the
professional ranks.Newly-hired matchmaker Andy

Kelly wins finale; Shane takes titleFOR THE REPORTER
Bonney Lake’s J. Michael Kelly and U-1 Graham Trucking captured the Oryx Cup UIM World Cham-pionship last Saturday in Doha, Qatar, the final championship heat of the H1 unlimited hydroplane racing season.
Kelly shared the honor of the day with U-6 Oberto Beef Jerky driver Jimmy Shane of Covington, who placed second in the heat but reclaimed the series’ National High Point championship.
It was Kelly who pulled off the move of the day. With a low-setting Arabian sun blinding the drivers in turn one, Kelly cut the cor-ner prior to the one-minute mark to take the inside lane away from Shane in the championship final.
After a great start by the entire field, Shane was the first driver into the first turn. He powered his way to the front of the pack down the backstretch.
Even with a second-place finish, Shane had a big smile on his face.
“Our main goals coming in here were to keep the equipment together and win the championship,” Shane said.

FOR THE REPORTER
Claire Kerbs will play the violin in the All-Northwest Orchestra and Dan Tu will play the cello in the All-State Orchestra.
The Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA) selected the Auburn Riverside High School seniors to play in the prestigious orchestras in February in Spokane.
Students from Washing-ton, Oregon, Idaho, Mon-tana, Alaska and Wyoming auditioned for spots in the
All-Northwest Orchestra. Auburn High junior
Ethan Hinze also was se-lected as a bass singer to the All-Northwest Mixed Choir for the second year in a row. More than 5,200 students from the Northwest audi-tioned for the choir. Hinze is one of only about 300 students who made the cut.
“This is an amazing ac-complishment,” said Kandy Gilbert, Auburn choir teacher.
Hinze plans to major in music at college. He per-
formed in Disneyland twice as a member of the Auburn jazz choir and will perform there again in May. He has been a featured soloist for the Auburn chamber choir and was recognized for his solo at the 2013 Washington State University Choral Festival.
He also represented Au-burn and the region at the state solo-ensemble contest in the bass solo and mixed duet division during his freshman and sophomore years.
Mt. Baker, meanwhile, will send four students to Spokane in February for the WMEA Junior All-State Band and Orchestra gala.
Caroline Cooper will play tuba in the band and Melaku Akalwold, Elijah Blyden and Isaiah
Shin will play violin in the orchestra.
Nearly 1,600 middle school students from throughout the state auditioned for the all-state groups.
“This is a great op-portunity for these young musicians,” said Melinda Wharton, Mt. Baker orches-tra teacher.
ElsewhereAuburn High School
band students Mikah Loomis and Austin Clark recently participated in the Western International Band Clinic (WIBC) honor band at
the Sea-Tac Doubletree hotel. Loomis and Clark
represented Auburn as first clarinets in the Firebird Honor Band. Students from across the United States and international students audi-tioned for the event. …
The Auburn School District Board of Directors recently recognized Tanya Cicero, a fourth-grade teacher at Alpac Elementary, for her outstanding service. Cicero is in her 15th year as a teacher at Alpac, teaching fourth grade just about every year. ... The school board also recognized Titus Rambo, a fifth-grader at Gildo Rey Elementary, for being an outstanding student.

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.
