A humbled, grateful Ariana Kukors stepped to the podium last Friday night.

Auburn’s celebrated Olympian hopes to step onto a different podium in less than three weeks when she competes for gold at the London Summer Games.

“Definitely, a medal … a medal, for sure,” Kukors said of her objective for the July 27-Aug. 12 Olympics in England. “I want to do well. I definitely can make improvements. I’m just so excited to be going.”

The Valley Regional Fire Au-thority and other fire agencies throughout the greater Puget Sound Region know a lot about beating back flames and saving lives.

But a recent uptick in the number of thefts of outside brass hose connections has cre-ated a new type of emergency that firefighters are hard pressed to handle.

More important, the absence of these connections, which support fire protection systems like standpipes and fire sprin-klers inside buildings, can kill.

To date in 2012, thieves have walked away with a total of 37 individual fire department con-nections (FDCs), compromising at least 34 fire suppression sys-

tems in the VRFA-service area.While a handful were the single

It was billed as an opportunity for representatives from the Teamster’s Local 117 union and Mayor Cy Sun

to clear away the City of Pacific’s logjam of building permits and find a temporary fix for the community’s vacant building inspector union position.

But Tuesday’s open meeting at City Hall also provided a chance for Pacif-ic residents to watch their controver-sial mayor in action, to what makes him tick, motivation and to weigh in

with appraisals of his performance.For Jack French – a longtime resi-

A Strong LeaderDuring his career as a 25-year veteran police offi cer and commander of a 15-city Homicide/Violent Crimes Task Force, Chris saw a disheartening amount of crime that resulted from not solving the problems with our education system. Chris believes that wise investments in education are the best insurance against kids becoming involved in drugs, gangs and crime. As Chairman of the House Public Safety Committee, he passed tough laws to keep sex and violent offenders locked up.

A Loyalty to Local BusinessesHis wife of 34 years, April, is a small business owner. She owns April’s Pet Salon on Cole Street in Enumclaw, where she grooms cats and dogs. Chris understands small businesses, and when Workers Comp and Unemploy-ment Insurance rates were about to rise last year, he overhauled these programs in Olympia to avoid rate increases which would have killed jobs in our local communities. Chris and April know fi rsthand that small businesses are the economic foundations of our local communities. Chris also improved our Buy Washington statutes that will give businesses in our state a competitive advantage, and because he believed it was important to share in the sac-rifi ce in these tough economic times, he cut his own legislative pay.

A Commitment to Returning VeteransAndrew Hurst, their son, is still in the Army, but is back home after serving three tours of duty in the Middle East as a member of the 173rd Airborne Infantry, where 69 soldiers from his unit were killed in action. Their nephew was also killed in Iraq, so you can understand why veteran’s issues are important to the Hurst family, and are ever-present in their minds. Chris passed important laws in Olympia to help our returning vets.

transplant and commu-nity activist who authors the Taking Back Pacific blog – the opportunity was eye-opening.

“People have the feeling that you aren’t hearing them,” French told Sun after being invited to speak during the meeting. “You need to slow down, and you need to listen to people. The coun-cil has the same ideas, too. They’re against you because you want to run the whole show by your own way. Cy Sun’s way. It’s either my way or the highway, that’s what I’m getting out of this.”

Despite his contentious approach to negotia-tions, Sun did manage to get approval from the union to allow the City to temporarily use Sound Inspections to issue and approve building permits (contingent on approval of the City Council, which has to OK any payments made to Sound) until a permanent solution can be found.

Sun also cleared out several pending construc-tion permits that were languishing in the permit-ting office.

But mostly, the meet-ing was about the mayor’s management style and the motivation behind his confrontational relation-ship with the City Coun-cil, none of whom were in

attendance.“(When I started)

nobody came up from the council and said you’re the new mayor, congratula-tions,” Sun said. “I just sat there, my wife and I. Then my wife started elbowing me and said, ‘They’re talk-ing about you.’”

According to Sun, his first interaction with the council focused on controversy surrounding his military record and set the tone for his future relationship with the councilmembers.

“I heard Gary Hulsey say to me (at that first meeting), ‘Tomorrow at 8 o’clock you will report to my house and present your credentials and your medals,’” he said. “And this is a councilmember talking. He said, ‘If you’re not there, I’ll have the FBI arrest you.’

“This is the kind of greeting I got from the council on my first day,” Sun continued. “I sat there and got all the sneers, the bad looks, and the humili-ation was almost unbear-able.”

When Kringle sug-gested in the meeting that a mediator might help to smooth over relations between him and the council, Sun was swift to respond with a challenge.

“I tell you what, why don’t you people get together and conduct a recall on me?” Sun said. “I’d be glad to accept it. I

want you to get together and start the recall on me. That will solve all the problems. That way I can just go away. Let’s do that. That’s my decision. Have a recall on me. I’m waiting for a recall. And I’m wait-ing to quit and go home on a recall.

“I want to leave all this, and I’ll tell you why,” Sun said. “Every time I get a phone call from my kids (in Oregon) they ask. ‘Dad, what the hell are you doing up there? Get the hell out of there.’ My grandson called me after the meeting last night (Monday) and asked why I didn’t come home because they’re skinning me alive. But I can’t come home unless they recall me.”

When asked why he continued to act as mayor, despite wanting to leave, Sun’s answer was simple.

“Because the people voted me in, and I want the people to vote me out,” Sun concluded.

The City of Pacific has until the end of the year to get its house in order or risk losing its insurance.

On July 2 Pacific Mayor Cy Sun received a letter from Wes Crago, chair-man of the Cities Insurance Association of Washington, informing him that Pacific’s membership in the asso-ciation would be cancelled effective Dec. 31. Along with its membership in the association, the city was also informed that it would be dropped by insurance car-rier Canfield.

According to Pacific Councilman Gary Hulsey, the loss of insurance would be disastrous for the City.

“If we lose our insurance it will take us a while to get another,” he said. “That would mean that no official City vehicles or machinery would be able to operate. You need insurance to have them on the road. And

each employee and official would be personally liable for anything that went wrong. Effectively, we’d have to shut the City down. If I were a City employee, and we didn’t have insurance, I wouldn’t show up for work.”

According to Crago’s letter, the cancellation is in response to the city’s “failure to employ qualified person-nel” in positions that could expose the City to litigation.

Currently the City is without several key depart-ment heads, including: the city clerk and personnel director; the police chief; the community services di-rector; the public works and community development director; the City engineer and the building inspec-tor and code enforcement officer.

Canfield declined to comment on the specifics of it’s concerns, but Council-man Tren Walker said he believed the lack of a public works director and City en-gineer was one of the main

reasons for the insurance carrier’s concern.

“There is nobody in those positions, they’ve been gone the longest,” he said. “And we have two major road projects in the works. Luck-ily Sumner has taken the lead on the Valentine Road project, but there is still the Stewart Road construction.”

One option the City is exploring to satisfy Canfield is using an interlocal agree-ment with Auburn to pro-vide vital city services, such as building inspections.

According to Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, he met with Sun to discuss the pos-sibility of providing services to Pacific.

“We talked about the pos-sibilities,” Lewis said. “We already provide services to other cities around us, and they provide services to us.”

“It’s what we all do,” he said. “We talked about a number of things, but I told him that their attor-ney needs to talk to our attorney.”

Whatever remedies Pacific takes, they’ll have to come quick, according to Crago’s letter.

“The CIAW Board of Directors, through its administrator Canfield, is willing to reconsider this ac-tion, but we will need to see swift, concrete and verifi-able deeds to bring a more stable and professional environment to the City of Pacific.”

ALSO: The Pacific City Council took action Monday to ensure it will continue to have legal representation by passing an ordinance wresting control of the hiring and firing of the City attorney from the mayor.

Ordinance 12-1826 repealed the chapter in the Pacific Municipal Code that put the power of hiring and firing the City attorney and

City prosecutor in the hands of the mayor. The ordinance switched the positions to contract employee posi-tions, which would require a vote by the council to hire or fire the City attorney and prosecutor.

City attorney Kenyon Luce will continue to serve as the City’s attorney, negat-ing a 30-day termination notice he had received from Sun last month.

Pacific’s insurance will be cancelled if changes are not made by year’s end

CorrectionAn recent article on

the Valley Regional Fire Authority's fire benefit charge misstated the cu-mulative increase in taxes between 2008 and 2012. It should have read $5.57 a year on a residential homeowner.

Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent for alleg-edly killing Roger Roberts, 23.

Frounfelter is in jail at the Norm Maleng Re-gional Justice Center on $1 million bail.

According to the Auburn police affidavit of probable cause, which forms the basis of the single charge, Roberts had intervened to break up a fight between a man and woman and was prepar-ing to return to a friend’s house across the street when Frounfelter, who had not been involved in the

fight, stabbed the unarmed Roberts in the chest. The King County Medical Examiner reported Rob-erts died of a single stab wound to the heart.

Frounfelter later told police that he had come outside because he had seen his youngest child in the street among the fighting adults. Accord-ing to witnesses cited in the affidavit, however, none of Frounfelter’s children were outside at that time.

According to the af-fidavit, the series of events that led to Roberts death started with a verbal argu-ment between Froun-

felter’s aunt and her live-in boyfriend in their home at 909 6th St. SE then became violent and spilled into the front yard and onto the street in front of the house Frounfelter shared with them.

According to the affida-vit, Frounfelter allegedly admitted to detectives that he had about five to six beers and a couple of hits of marijuana before the fight. He told detectives that he suffers from brain trauma, has undergone some 19 surgeries to cor-rect the problem and has suffered series of strokes.

the “Siamese” model that lets firefighters attach one or more supply lines to provide sufficient water to firefighters when the flames are up, said Kim-berly McDonald, a public information officer for the VRFA.

The cost of replacing these devices can easily exceed $500 per unit, Mc-Donald said, in a release.

Until recently, thefts of FDCs were relatively rare events. But earlier this year, the VRFA’s Fire Marshal’s Office started to notice an uptick in FDC thefts at apartment complexes,

commercial businesses and hotel-motels. Busi-ness owners, fire system contractors, and firefighters going about their regular duties started to notice the problem, too.

The VRFA has since advised all victimized businesses to file a report with their local police. It has also notified all registered fire protection system contractors in its service area.

“The VRFA encourages the public to be on the alert for any person or persons trying to remove this life-safety equip-ment,” McDonald said. “We ask the public to

immediately call 911 and report it to the police.”

McDonald said legiti-mate contractors should have well marked vehicles and the owner’s permis-sion to be working on the system. Such contractors typically work or are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week because the nature of their business.

“They all carry identifica-tion and won’t be offended should police contact them about what they’re doing,” McDonald said.

Anyone with ques-tions about this or any other VRFA-related topics should call 253-288-5800 or email askthevrfa.org.

Loss of a good man, dear friend

Dave Watson was a kind and generous man who gave much of himself for the bet-terment of others.

Family, friends and students gathered at Kent Covenant Church on Monday night to remember the gregarious Kent man who was a devoted husband, a caring father of four children, a beloved Green River Com-munity College instructor and a warm host for international students learning English.

Watson also was an ordained minister and an adventurous man, fond of travel and learning, but, most of all, people.

Watson died July 4 when he broke through about 4 feet of snow in Mount Rainier’s Paradise area. He was swept 30 feet down the creek underneath the snow,

according to Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman Patti Wold.

Despite rescuers’ ef-forts, Watson later died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was 51.

“He was a good man and dear friend,” said Mark Dawson, who went to college with Watson and maintained a close friend-ship for 30 years. “He was caring, cheerful, generous and kind. … He loved others, he loved Christ.”

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Watson graduated from Wheaton College, where his father was a graduate of the class of 1936, and where his daughter, Leah, attends today.

He earned a master’s degree in religion at Westminster Theological Seminary.

Watson spent two years teaching English in China. He traveled the world and met his wife in South Korea. They were mar-ried in Seoul on Feb. 13, 1992, and again in Broomhall, Pa., the following Aug. 8 – two ceremonies, two families.

The Watsons raised four children.The family moved to Kent in 2002.

laas City should open

public defenders contract to bid

Several years ago I ap-proached the City of Auburn requesting they open the Office of Assigned Counsel (OAC) Public Defenders contract to bid.

The rate then paid to the OAC was approximately $22,000.00 per month. I ad-vised the City I could bid it at $20,000 plus provide additional attorneys. The City declined and renewed with the current firm first for $24,000, then again for $26,000 a month. That exercise cost the City approximately $240,000 in additional OAC compensation over my offer.

Months ago I approached the City again and was told the City is considering bring-ing the position in-house. I recently read that employee

benefits equal approximately 30 percent of wages. Further, the City’s stated requirements to be a public defender are overly strenuous, probably more for liability sake then to protect the accused. So we can expect those “exceptional-ly qualified” employees to be

paid an additional premium.I encourage the City to

continue looking at efficiencies. I request that they begin by looking at their own practices. While we all want the best money can buy, sometimes the best we can afford is a better deal.

Having been a pro tem judge for the cities of Tacoma and Auburn, I have presided over thousands of cases, set bail, issued warrants, imposed sentences and sanctions, and dismissed cases. I do not take the OAC responsibilities lightly.

I ask the City of Auburn to please consider opening the OAC contract for bid but make the requirements such that zealous advocates are encour-aged to apply. I believe the City leaders can find adequate public defenders for less than the current annual $312,000.

Kukors took advantage of a small window to come home last week before she left last Saturday for Nash-ville, Tenn., to train with the U.S. Olympic Swim Team. She soon will be off to France for a week’s worth of preparation for the London Games. Team USA is scheduled to enter the Olympic village July 23.

The Auburn community – led by family, friends, coaches and supporters – threw her a sendoff party at the Performing Arts Center, the first of many fundraising functions that will help fund Kukors’ way.

“It means so much to me,” she said of the large gathering, “Normally we don’t have the opportunity to come home, so I really feel like I have a commu-

nity behind me, and that means a lot.

“No matter where I am

in the world, no matter where I’m training, this is home,” she said.

Kukors, a 2007 Auburn Mountainview graduate and Pac-10 champion at the University of Wash-ington, qualified for the Games when she rallied in the final 50-meter freestyle leg to grab second in a stir-ring 200 individual medley final at the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in Omaha, Neb., on June 28.

It is her first taste of the Olympics, having missed by fractions of seconds in a bid for the 2008 Games in Shanghai, China.

But this time, Olympic dreams finally came true for the 23-year-old Kukors.

“Relief and all those feelings. Relief is prob-ably foremost,” Kukors said of grabbing a spot on the roster. “They say

with our U.S. Olympic Trials, the only thing that matters is getting your ticket.

“I’m so excited to be going. I really love racing internationally, and I really feel like that brings out the best in me.”

The world record-holder in the 200 IM, Kukors’ time of 2:11.30 was 1.08 slower than winner Caitlin Leverenz, but 0.25 seconds faster than third-place finisher Elizabeth Pelton.

Kukors holds the world record in the 200 individ-ual medley (long course) and has won seven med-als in major international competition.

Kukors set the world record in the 200 IM (2:06.15) at Italy in July 2009.

Now comes the chal-

lenge of bringing family overseas. Team Kukors is large, tight knit and sup-portive.

“They give us two tickets for the parents, then we have to scrounge for everything else.,” said Kukors’ mother, Jaapje, a bookkeeper at Auburn Mountainview. “We’re still working on it.”

The fact that one of her three daughters – all decorated swimmers – has made the Olympics has yet to fully sink in for Jaapje.

“It’s still kind of surreal. It’s like, ‘wow, exciting.’ ” the proud mom said. “It was a relief. We were so re-lieved because she reached her accomplishment.”

Pete Kukors couldn’t be prouder of his daughter.

“It’s kind of fun when one of your kids actually has a goal and obtains it. ... This is a once-in-a-lifetime deal,” he said.

Kukors, the Olympian, plans to turn her attention to details, then dial up her drive for the Games.

“I’m going to bring my intensity up for about two weeks. I’m going to hit it hard. I’ve been run-ning, I’ve been back in the weight room,” she said.

“I’m pretty much going to work on everything. (It was) a disappointing time (at the trials). It wasn’t where it should have been in any way, shape or form. I know there’s a lot of room for improvement.

“They say the Olym-pics are like a breeze compared to the trials in terms of nervousness,” she said. “It’s definitely the payoff. I’m really ex-cited to take it all in.”

Did you know?Ariana Kukors is the first

Olympian from Auburn since Al Rossi competed in row-ing for the U.S. at the 1952 Summer Games.

Rossi was the coxswain of the American boat that won the bronze medal at Helsinki, Finland.

Bonney Lake’s Melanie Roach, an Auburn High graduate and former gym-nastics star for the Trojans, competed in weightlifting at the 2008 Beijing Games. Roach broke her own 10-year-old American record and finished sixth in the 53-kilogram weight division at Beijing.

Watson was ordained with the Christian Re-formed Church and served as pastor of Good News Fellowship in Kent from 2002-04. The Watson fam-ily has been a part of Kent Covenant Church since 2007, and Watson contin-ued to preach regularly in churches throughout the Seattle area.

“His heart was his ministry,” said the Rev. Rod Vanderly, pastoral mentor and friend.

Watson taught IESL (in-tensive English as a second language) classes at Green River Community College for the past five years, but he had been teaching the language to non-native speakers for decades.

“Mr. Watson taught English to about 300 international students since 2007, and hosted 22 international students as a host family before that,” said Ross Jennings, GRCC’s associate vice president of

international programs, in a statement. “In addition to his work with international students, Mr. Watson was a pastor and youth leader at Kent Covenant Church.

“Dave was very well regarded for his gener-ous heart, optimistic spirit and dedication to family, church, friends, colleagues and students,” Jennings said. “He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.”

Survivors include his wife, Jungsoon “Jamie” Watson, and children — Leah, David, Anna and Stephen.

“He not only was my dad, he was my best friend,” Stephen said.

A memorial fund has been established to sup-port the college education and other needs of the Watson children. Please make checks payable to the: David K. Watson Memo-rial Fund. Checks can be dropped off at the Kent Covenant Church office, 12010 SE 240th St.

Auburn School District voters twice elected Lisa Connors to the Auburn School District Board, � rst in 2007, again in 2009.

� ose � ve years taught her many things, from leadership skills to the absolutely vital role that education plays in every area of our lives, says the Auburn Republican.

But the state of Washington’s education cuts of recent years, which have so hamstrung and frustrated district sta� and administrators, taught her something else – that her place should be in Olympia, when and where lawmakers make those budget decisions.

� at’s why Connors is a candidate for the State House of Representa-tives District 31, position 2. To win, she’ll have to beat Rep. Chris Hurst in the general election come November.

“I’m running because of the continued budget cuts to education over the last � ve years,” Con-nors said. “It’s signi� cant to our school district, it’s signi� cant to our kids. � e cuts have strapped the district and gone way too far. It’s very di� cult to try and balance the needs of our kids with the � nancial constraints that we have.”

Unfunded mandates and reduced funding every year make it “incredibly di� cult,” Connors added, for sta�

and administrators to do the best they can for kids.

“To serve as an educa-tion advocate for all kids in Washington State and to � ght for some needed reforms, that’s my main priority,” Connors said.

Jobs and the economy and transportation top her list, too.

Small businesses being the backbone of the economy, Connors said, it’s essential to ease regulations and help businesses wherever possible.

“� ere’s a few areas that could re-ally help them right now. A small busi-ness B&O tax credit

is one that would help our smallest businesses, espe-cially the small businesses that are under � ve years, to stay open,” Connors said. “I talk to business people as I’m campaigning, and they are struggling every day to keep their doors open. In construction, I hope to help free up the permitting processes to get them through the system within 90 days. � at would really help people who are ready to put people to work and stimulate our economy.

Connors, formerly a project coordinator at a civil engineering � rm in Federal Way, said she understands the permit-ting process very well and knows � rst hand how long it can take to get anything done.

“� ose are companies that are ready to invest in our economy and hire

people,” Connors said.Connors and her three

teenage boys, Austin, An-drew and Anthony, live in the Lake Holms area east of Auburn. All of her kids have attended or are attend-ing Auburn schools. She has lived in Auburn 20 years.

Connors divided much of her own childhood between Cle Elum and Homer, Alaska. She gradu-

ated from high school in 1986, earned an AA degree in business administration from North Idaho College and then the University of Washington in Tacoma from which she graduated in 2010 with a BA in politi-cal science.

Connors is a member of the Auburn Youth Re-sources board of directors.

Connors to make run at House seat AUBURN JOINED SEATTLE AND SIX OTHER SOUTH KING COUNTY CITIES as All-America Cities chosen by the National Civic League last week based on the region’s ambitious plan to ensure that more children are reading at grade level by the end of third grade.

Chosen from a � eld of more than 100 entries, the proposal for Seattle and the cities of Auburn, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila was submitted by the Road Map Project, a cradle-to-college-and-career initiative aimed at improving education in South Seattle and South King County. The community was one of 14 recipients selected from 32 � nalists.

The awards were handed out at the conclusion of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading conference in Denver. Awardees will compete again in 2016 based on results obtained from e� orts to improve third-grade reading.

Objectives of Seattle and the South King County cities’ plan include building and sustaining a major regional commitment to improving grade-level reading and developing broad public awareness e� orts to make third-grade reading a regional priority.

Richard Hildreth is about to serve the people again – this time, the people of Kenya.

An electrician by trade and a former two-term mayor of Pacific, Hildreth plans to join Habitat for Humanity on a Global Village mission to the impoverished East African nation to build homes.

Hildreth is part of a Seattle-area contingent that will work with native families and laborers in Af-rica to construct hand-made-brick homes.

The team of 15 strong from all walks and backgrounds – a police officer, architect and contractor, for

example – will build houses alongside people who need a decent, affordable place to live.

“From what I’ve heard, the homes are really spartan,” Hildreth said. “We are there to help, to

build brick homes.”Hildreth is excited about the Aug.

31-Sept. 8 visit. He has done consid-erable work in past regional projects for the organization. Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County invited Hildreth to make the outreach mission.

“This is a great opportunity to

show the people of Kenya what Americans are all about, and I look forward to the experience,” Hildreth said. “This is going to be an excep-tional experience. I hope to do more of these in the future.”

Habitat for Humanity Kenya was formed in 1982. In rural areas, most families live in mud daub houses with thatch roofs. The houses are difficult to maintain and provide a breeding ground for insects, ter-mites and rodents.

Habitat is building houses in Kenya by using the resources avail-able in local areas, constructing with timber or stabilized soil bricks, depending on the location.

Teams traveling to Kenya usually

stay in a school, church or commu-nity center. Sleeping bags are usually needed and mosquito nets will be provided by the affiliate. In most cases, breakfast and dinner will be provided where the team is staying. Lunch is usually provided on site by the homeowner.

To get there, Hildreth’s union, International Brotherhood Electrical Workers (IBEW) No. 46, has do-nated money to cover his airfare. But Hildreth is raising funds to help cover other costs, such as food, lodging and transportation. All donations can be made directly to Habitat for Humanity and are tax deductible.

You can donate online at www.habitat.org.

Memories tend to bump and jostle for space in the mind and heart of a veteran coach.

For Auburn Riverside’s Christine Leverenz, who after 16 years has stepped down as the Ravens fast-pitch coach, many memo-ries bubble up instantly.

The best of them even leave her a bit misty eyed.

Like seeing players such as Hannah Melick and Brooke Bray mature into team leaders.

Or looking on in awe at the sheer grit of an immov-able Amanda Fitzsimmons.

“I have a couple of mo-ments,” Leverenz laughed. “I get emotional about them. I watch kids grow and change and mature into these incredible kids. I watch them go through struggles, athletic and other.”

Though she will continue to coach Riverside’s volley-ball program – a position

she’s held since the school opened in 1995 – for the foreseeable future, leaving her baby is tough.

“It’s a bit bittersweet,” Leverenz said. “Because I built this and know I have to watch someone else take it over. I’m going to try not to be territorial, because it’s not about me … I’m grow-ing and other things are becoming more important. Being a head coach in two sports for 17 years defi-nitely takes a chunk out of your personal life. And it’s becoming more demanding every year, with having to work and run camps in the summer. I always tell my kids that family comes first, but I’m not sure I’ve always displayed that.”

Leverenz, a Federal Way native, was a three-sport athlete in track, basketball and volleyball at Thomas Jefferson High School. Back then, softball was not an option for female prep athletes, so Leverenz played club ball as a youth.

After graduating in 1979, Leverenz moved on to Washington State Universi-ty, where she played varsity volleyball for two years. She graduated with a degree in physical education in 1983 and returned to the South Sound to begin her teach-

ing and coaching career.“I knew PE was always

something on my horizon,” Leverenz said. “I knew I always wanted to stay involved in athletics in some way. When I looked at the possibilities I figured that was the best way to do that. And after I did that I thought I’d like to coach. Even back when I was younger I was – I don’t want to say bossy – but the leadership type.”

Leverenz did her student

teaching at Auburn High School.

Her coaching career also started at Auburn as an assistant on the school’s volleyball and slowpitch softball teams for Nancy Zehnder.

After the Auburn and Federal Way school districts got a chance over several years to assess her skills as a substitute teacher, both offered her permanent positions. She turned down the full-time position in

Federal Way for a part-time gig with Auburn.

Turns out, Leverenz had fallen for the district.

“I love the Auburn School District, so I de-cided to stay here,” she said.

In 1993, when AHS changed from slowpitch to fastpitch, she took over as Auburn’s softball coach.

“And then when Auburn Riverside opened, I didn’t even originally apply for the job,” Leverenz said. “I had nine seniors (at Auburn), and I just couldn’t see leav-ing them. I felt horrible leaving them as seniors.”

Riverside principal Bruce Phillips, however, talked her into accepting a teaching job and the Raven head volleyball coaching position.

“So my first year here at Auburn Riverside I taught and coached volleyball, while coaching Auburn fastpitch,” she said. “And the district let me do that, which was nice. They un-derstood my commitment to those kids (at Auburn).”

Since taking over the program in 1996, Leverenz helped set a standard of ex-cellence for Raven fastpitch

that numbers six trips to the state tourney, includ-ing a third-place finish in 2004, and a fourth-place finish in 2009.

“As I look back it’s probably been the best experience in my life,” she said. “Looking back at it, I was just a baby. It was 16 years ago and I was just learning. Fastpitch was always home for me, so that was never out of my comfort zone.”

In volleyball, her teams

have also found success, earning eight trips to the state tourney, including a second-place finish in 2007 and a third-place in 2009.

She calls her time as an assistant with Zehnder at Auburn “crucial” to her development as a volley-ball coach.

“I took a little bit of her and a little bit of me, and that’s how I started the team over here,” she said.

Now, it’s time for Leverenz to concentrate solely on volleyball, with

the Ravens and the Lake Tapps club team, for which she coaches begin-ning players.

Leverenz said she also plans to concentrate more on building a career in school administration.

“I got my masters in that this past year,” she said. “I like admin, I like the administrative side of schools,” she said. “I think that maybe I will take another path, and I need to clear my life to do that.”

But she will always

have those memories.And at the top, Fitz-

simmons, who earned a scholarship to the University of Washing-ton and is now a junior pitcher for Idaho State University.

“Amanda, by far, has been the most intense, focused, team-oriented, passionate young lady who ever played for me,” Leverenz said. “When she was a junior, she had a cyst on her tailbone.”

On the eve of the Ra-vens’ first game of the 4A

state tourney, Leverenz said, Fitzsimmons had the cyst removed.

“So they go and they slice this thing up and leave it open,” she said. “They pack it, and she’s at the team meeting lay-ing there medicated. I’m looking at my assistant coach and saying, ‘this isn’t going to happen.’ And we all knew back then we rode on Aman-da’s arm.”

The cyst, however, was no match for Fitzsim-mons.

“I’m watching her warm up, and the kid has no pain expression on her face,” she said. “I’m watching to see if she’s just faking it, and she’s just being tough. And she goes out and pitches the game of her life.”

Fitzsimmons’ perfor-mance on the mound in the tourney, despite her injury, helped the Ravens’ grab fourth in the tour-ney.

“I’ve never been so moved by anything in my life,” Leverenz said.

weeks ago, a slim chance remains.

The team, which includes several players from the Auburn Little League Lady Huskies Tournament of Champion winners, began play in the Majors tourney this past Friday at Everest Park in Kirkland, losing its opener against Gig Harbor.

The team played a conso-lation bracket game to stay alive on Wednesday, with results unavailable at press time.

The Auburn/Kent Huri-canes begin play in the U11 tourney at p.m. Sunday at the Northshore Athletic Fields in Woodinville.

For the U14 Auburn/Kent Phantoms, the Junior tourney begins at 3 p.m. Saturday against Battle Ground at La Center Com-munity Park in La Center.

Carolyn Eileen Erickson9-2-1931 to 6-30-12

Eileen was born to Thomas O’Neil and Carolyn Mesher in Auburn, WA. She matriculated through the Auburn school system graduating in 1949. While in high school, she was in several theatrical productions and active in the chorus. Upon graduation, she attended Seattle University and later worked for the GSA in Auburn. In 1952, she married Dan Erickson and moved around the country as he rose in his career with St. Regis Paper Co.

Eileen enjoyed family activities and hosted many holiday festivities enjoyed by her extended family.
