Holman, Osborne leading City Council races

Dialysis patient ready to complete the full marathonBY MARK KLAAS

mklaas@auburn-reporter.comA determined Peter Phan vows to

go where few people with his condi-tion have gone.

Phan, a kidney dialysis patient for nearly 10 years, plans to cover

every foot of his fi rst 26.2-mile run adventure – the Seattle Marathon on Nov. 27.

"It's something I've always want-ed to do, and it's something I'm going to do," said Phan, a 26-year-old Algona resident who undergoes three four-hour dialysis sessions each week at the Auburn Kidney Center. "Not a lot of people with my condition are able to do this. I want to prove I can do this."

With many businesses nation-wide still struggling to emerge from the recession and regain their economic footing, there is hope on the horizon for Auburn, according to a new report released by City Economic Development Manager Doug Lein.

Th e report, compiled from information gathered from busi-ness license applications the City

received from January to October of 2011, touts an eye-popping increase of 140 new businesses and 719 new jobs in Auburn.

Although the report lists several high-profi le businesses, including OHL – a logistics company that accounts for 133 jobs – and Pick-Quick and La Quinta Inn, which added 40 and 20 jobs, respectively, Lein said a “fairly high percentage” of the licenses issued come from

rwhale@auburn-reporter.comTh e atmosphere at Zola’s Cafe on

East Main Street on Tuesday night was festive, as four of the six can-didates for Auburn City Council gathered with friends and supporters to await the verdict of voters.

And, as the fi rst numbers rolled in shortly aft er 8 p.m. and eyes turned to the various electronic devices scattered about the room, John Hayes Holman and Wayne Osborne found plenty to celebrate.

As of 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the

combined King and Pierce counties’ result had Holman beating incum-bent Virginia Haugen, Position 5, 54 percent to 46 percent, gathering 4,208 votes to Haugen’s 3,620 votes.

In the other contested race, Osborne was thumping Auburn locksmith Frank Lonergan by a con-vincing margin of 67 percent to 33 percent, or 4,963 to 2,480 votes.

Osborne and Lonergan were vying for Position 7, held by Lynn Norman, who did not seek reelection.

In a call to the Auburn Reporter at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Haugen threw

in the towel.“I’m conceding right now,” Haugen

said. “I’m fi ne, I have other plans. I, of course, would not run again, and I do believe there should be term limits.

“My heart is breaking, not for my-self, but for the city of Auburn. I am so sad about what has happened to Auburn,” she said. “It just breaks my heart. It’s politicians who spend a lot of money, having a good time.”

Holman was gracious, praising Haugen as “a very passionate person” who ran a good campaign. [ more ELECTION page 4 ]

Auburn City Council invited people to come in Monday night and say their piece about plans afoot to turn the Valley 6 Drive-In Th eaters site into a 70-acre, multi-phased, mixed-use residential and retail development, Th e Auburn Gateway.

But the only party that spoke up during the hearing was Los Angeles-based Robertson Proper-ties Group, the real estate arm of the family that proposes to develop the property it has owned for more than 50 years.

John Manavian, RPG’s execu-tive vice president of real estate, design and development, looked around the Council chamber and saw faces on the Council and in the audience he knew when the idea fi rst stirred more than 10 years ago.

“It’s been a diffi cult and interest-ing project because of the com-plexity of not only the mixed-use designation, but because we wanted to do the development agreement,” Manavian said. “For 70 acres, it’s go-ing to take us awhile in phases to be able to do a project like this.

“… All the projects in our portfolio of over 5 million square feet have a Gateway name to it,” Manavian said, “and this one to me is truly a Gateway project be-cause it’s at the northern bound-ary of the city, and we really want this to be a special, mixed-used development.”

Council members listened but took no action. A vote is expected before the end of the year.

Th e hearing had been scheduled for Oct. 17, but had to be delayed because the RPG spotted problems in its traffi c plan and needed time to address them.

At issue Monday: an ordinance and a master development agree-ment between RPG and the City of Auburn setting out guidelines for the development of the property.

Council approval would allow the RPG to begin off ering about 70 acres of property, that is, the Valley 6 site and several adjacent

properties at the city’s north end, for offi ce, retail and residential development.

Th e RPG buys private movie theaters and properties through-out the country and develops them into something diff erent than cinemas.

For years, the City has negoti-ated with the RPG on future development of the acreage, touching on preparation of an environmental impact statement, changes to the comprehensive plan and zoning code to authorize a mixed-used commercial zone, and preparation of a draft devel-opment agreement and a draft planned action ordinance.

Th e Auburn Gateway Project site plan included in the MDA shows a multi-phased develop-ment of 720,000 square feet of retail, 500 residential units and/or up to 1.6 million square feet of offi ce space.

It also calls for an extension of I Street Northeast north to South 277th.

In the development agreement, which lays out development guidelines, the RPG has agreed that the layout and uses of the Au-burn Gateway Project will follow these strictures:

parking and access, no multiple family residential uses will be al-lowed on the ground fl oor of any building but only in upper stories of multi-story buildings.

service, sit-down restaurants than fast food, including drive-thru restaurants

service and parts business will only be built as part of a larger retail operation.

small home-based or Inter-net businesses.

Th e list also contains several already-established businesses that might have undergone reorganization of some sort requiring a new business license, Lein added.

Regardless, the City is optimistic about the growth.

“Over 1,000 new Auburn jobs is exactly the type of goal our City Council was hoping to achieve when they began launching various target initiatives,” Mayor Pete Lewis said in an e-mail announcing the report. “Auburn is open for business, and this is exactly the kind of message that resonates: looking forward, we can and do expect these numbers to grow.”

According to Lein, who

took the job as the mayor’s chief economic develop-ment advisor in January, that optimism is fi rmly grounded in several new programs and infrastruc-ture improvements aimed at attracting business and improving the profi tability of existing business in the city.

“We starting hosting a series of business assistance programs,” Lein said. “Th e idea is that a lot of these businesses are running lean and mean right now. You’ve got owners who half the day may be out on the plant fl oor. Th ey’re sitting at the desk paying bills and hiring and fi ring. Th ey’re trying to be good business people and running tight. But those folks need good information. Th ey want help and they want to do it quickly.”

Th e City began off ering free seminars, ranging from

loss prevention for retail es-tablishments to information on insurance requirements to advice on setting up the legal framework needed for limited liability corpora-tions.

“Th ese two- or three-hour programs are designed to be done here locally,” Lein said. “Th ey’re always free and on Th ursday aft er-noons. Th ey can get in and get out.”

In addition, the City began taping the sessions so those unable to attend can view them on the city’s website at www.auburnwa.gov/ecdev.

“Our goal and hope is that they’ll become better informed. Th ey’ll become more profi table and able to hire more people,” Lein said.

But he was already look-ing toward the fi rst City Council meeting in January.

“I’ll be doing an awful lot of reading,” Holman said. “I’ve got to come up to speed so that in January, time isn’t lost. A lot of times I’m going to have to check with the current Council to fi nd out what’s important, meet with the newly elect-eds to do what’s best for the city and collect input from citizens.”

Osborne, a retired air

traffi c controller, said he’d been telling well-wishers throughout the day that he wasn’t nervous or fright-ened.

“Scared is when you’ve got a whole bunch of air-planes, and you’re running out of airspace and ideas and time,” Osborne said.

Osborne then thanked the citizens of Auburn for “having faith in me. Th e work starts now.”

Largo Wales, Position 1, and incumbent Bill Peloza, Position 3, ran unopposed, but they were there to

monitor results as if they’d run hotly contested races. Wales will fi ll the seat now held by Sue Singer, who did not seek reelection.

“It was really fun, and the best part I liked was the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of the political system – public disclosure and those kinds of things,” said Wales, former director of ACAP Child and Family Services and a retired administrator with the Auburn School District. “My campaign managers, Debbie Christian

and Connie Dove, enjoyed that, too. Under the tutelage of my treasurer, Sue Singer, we just had fun.”

Incumbent Richard Hildreth held the early lead in his bid for a third term as Pacifi c mayor.

With only 29 percent of the all-mail-in ballots received by Wednesday aft ernoon, Hildreth had 268 votes or 35 percent of the count. Challenger John C. Jones, the City Council president, had 190 votes or 25 percent of the vote, according to King County Elections.

Write-in candidates had received 296 votes,

39 percent, of the ballots. It is unknown how many write-in candidates the vote represented. Cy Sun was among those who ran as a write-in candidate.

Only 774 ballots were cast of the 2,591 regis-tered voters in Pacifi c on Wednesday.

“It’s still too close for my comfort,” Hildreth said of the early returns, “but we’ll fi nd out once all the votes are counted and fi nd out who the write-ins were counted for.”

In Pierce County, Hil-dreth was leading Jones by a 75-to-25 percent margin.

Incumbent Joshua Putnam held a narrow led over Kevin Cline for City Council Posi-tion No. 6, 51 to 47 percent. Putnam led 64 to 35 percent in Pierce County.

Voters were rejecting Pacifi c’s Proposition No. 1 Levy Lid Lift for Street Improvements by a 74-to-26-percent margin in King County and by a 75-to-25-percent margin in Pierce County.

disease. He consistently puts in the long training miles, sometimes clip-ping off a 10-mile run to build the necessary strength and stamina to reach his goal – the finish line of a hilly, grueling Seattle course.

To refuel during the many miles, he frequently reaches for water and a secret snack.

“Gummi bears,” Phan said of the popular gelatin-based candies, which provide needed carbohy-drates without the potassium. “Ev-ery mile or so, I eat a handful.”

Doctors consider Phan an anom-aly. According to Northwest Kidney Centers’ research, he appears to be one of a few dialysis patients ever to run such a long race.

“I have tried many times to Google search for other patients who have ran marathons, or competed in endurance sports, and I have only found a handful of names,” Phan said.

One name that popped up was Shad Ireland, the first dialysis patient to complete one of the most grueling events in sports – the Iron-man Triathlon, a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race and marathon.

Ireland, who has been on dialysis for more than 25 years and experi-enced two failed kidney transplants, remains active in the fitness com-munity. He also established the Shad Ireland Foundation, an international nonprofit organization actively ex-ploring ways to further develop and expand its global impact on kidney diseases and their leading causes.

“I want to work my way up to do the same type of things he’s done,” Phan said of Ireland. “We are actually following each other on Twitter. He posts often on the training he does and the competitions he’s done.”

Phan’s background is cycling, his once-preferred mode of transporta-tion. He routinely would pedal to

work and dialysis.“Biking home after dialysis in the

dark wasn’t the easiest thing I’ve ever done, but I did what was neces-sary,” he said. “I must have biked ev-ery day for a year and a half through every crazy weather condition we’ve had here in the Northwest.”

Phan now drives to work, study and play.

He recently received the North-west Kidney Centers’ Christopher Blagg Rehabilitation Scholarship to attend the licensed practical nursing program at Highline Community College. He also works full-time on the night shift as a supervisor at the Car Toys distribution center.

Phan wants to be a registered nurse.

“I want to help people,” he said. “I feel it’s a way to give back to all those people who have cared for me in the last decade.”

That care began when Phan, then an 17-year-old Auburn High School

student, suddenly collapsed one day in the spring of 2002. He woke up in the emergency room.

“I just thought it was a bad flu,” he said.

Doctors discovered his kidneys had stopped. They immediately began treatment.

Despite frequent and time-con-suming dialysis, Phan maintains a positive outlook on life.

“I consider myself pretty lucky,” he said. “I’m pretty independent com-pared to some of the other patients.”

Phan enjoys the challenge and the freedom to run, a therapeutic outlet. He runs despite the fatigue that comes with his condition.

“I like to run, and I’ve set a goal for myself to do my first marathon here in Seattle,” Phan said. “My co-workers will be there to root me on.

“I really watch my potassium level, and I’m careful to drink a lot of water,” he added, “and so far, I’m doing OK.”

Peter Phan undergoes dialysis under the watch of Marlene Dulay, a nurse at the Auburn Kidney Center. Phan receives three four-hour dialysis sessions each week between training for the Seattle Marathon, going to school and working full-time. COURTESY PHOTO

A group of concerned resi-dents and seven Auburn vet-erinarians have put together a nonprofit group to establish a local animal shelter to care for the city’s lost, stray and abandoned pet population.

They have entered into a contract with the City of Auburn that calls for them to run the shelter, the City to tackle the animal control side of things. But the Auburn Valley Humane Society can’t do its bit all on its own.

The opportunity to help is at an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at 4910 A St. SE, Auburn. An article in last week’s Auburn Reporter gave the wrong start time.

Come get a look at the fu-ture shelter before Donavan Bros begins to remold it, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride around the neighborhood, listen to a live band.

And of course, feel free to donate to the cause.

The date for the shelter to be up and running is Jan. 1, 2013, just after the current animal control contract with King County expires.

Because the AVHS took on in the contract with the City the goal of furnishing by do-nation the equipment needed and the furnishings for the building, the initial estimate is it will need to raise about $200,000. It has divided that up into a limited number of $1,000 charter membership positions, allowing people to get in on the ground floor and forever be remembered as the community members and groups that can say they were a part of the opening of the shelter.

People can donate in several ways. Individuals or groups can write a $1,000 check. AVHS also can take monthly payments of $100 a month for 10 months, or $50 for 20 months to secure a corporate membership.

The shelter also will serve as a community education center where pets and people can come together, offering pet-related seminars from local veterinarians and staff, with topics ranging from grooming to diabetes, plus weekend dog-walking events, kitty-calming visits, service dog information and pet-related events.

How would you overcome state budget problems?

Washington, like nearly every other state in the country, is still feeling the economic drag that’s resulted from the worst recession our nation has seen since the 1930s.

Heading into the 2011 session last January, the Legislature faced a $5.1 billion budget hole for 2011-13 biennium. Before we adjourned, we passed a bipartisan budget that not only fi lled that gap but also spent nearly $750 mil-lion less that the experts predicted we would collect in revenue during the next two years.

But, against the expectations of the state’s revenue forecast council, our state has still not turned the corner toward a full recovery, and we are once again facing a sig-nifi cant budget shortfall. Gov. Gregoire has called a

special session of the legislature for Nov. 28 in order to address this problem.

We are already working on options for fi lling the hole as budget leaders from both parties, including myself, go through the two-year budget again, line-by-line, looking for additional cuts and effi ciencies. Th e process is going to be tough and painful because, aft er three straight years of deep cuts in vital services, including public schools, higher education, nursing homes, and public safety, we don’t have a lot of options left .

Here are just a handful of the major cuts we took earlier this year:

populations. Programs such as supported employment promote work for develop-mentally disabled adults by helping these individuals find and maintain mean-ingful employment in their communities.

DSHS is proposing to cut funding for supported employment. Approxi-mately 4,100 Washingto-nians with disabilities will lose their jobs from these cuts, not only affecting participants of the program, but members of the entire community. Employees of supporting agencies also will lose their jobs. Parents of participants will be forced to quit their jobs to take care of their disabled sons and daughters. Ad-ditionally, local businesses will lose an integral part of their workforce.

Supported employ-ment creates revenue. The program promotes diversity and productivity. Develop-mentally Disabled Wash-ingtonians, who otherwise would be isolated, unem-ployed, unable to contrib-ute, are active, taxpaying, members of society. Ac-cording to the Washington State Employment Report of 2010, Washingtonians with developmental dis-abilities in individual jobs earned more than $24 mil-lion in wages in 2009.

Cuts have to come from somewhere. However, cut-ting programs that provide jobs is not the way out of the recession.

We urge you to contact your legislator before Nov. 28 and advocate for continued funding for the supported employment program. www.leg.wa.gov/pages/home.aspx.– Toni Carnes, Anna Rittmueller, Amber Salzer, Heidi Warren

in communities all across the state. But, unlike Washington D.C., here in this Washington we have to balance our budget every year. While Congress fights and fusses over the debt limit, further eroding already lack-luster consumer confidence, in this Wash-ington we don’t borrow money to pay our operating expenses. So we are going to have to find even more cuts – close to $2 billion more.

So, I want to know what you think. What services do you think the state should continue to provide? What should simply be eliminated? The Legislature passed millions

of dollars in government reforms last session, including revamping worker’s compensation, consolidat-ing agencies and implementing pension changes. What additional reforms would you suggest? Should new revenue, possibly by closing existing tax loopholes, be part of the solution?

You can also send me your sug-

reigniting our economy is a huge challenge and it’s vitally important that we are respectful of all ideas, no matter where they come from. It’s going to take the best efforts of the whole state, pulling together, to reach a responsible, balanced solution to the current budget crisis and to emerge from this economic crisis with the kind of Washington we want to live in. I look forward to hearing from you.

existence of gangs are complex, and any attempt to reduce or “solve” the gang problem is similarly complex. Aft er some recent high-profi le gang incidents, it is attractive to look for an easy answer. Deport all the illegals, put everyone in jail, have more guns, have fewer guns.

Of course, the real solutions are not easy and will not show quick results. Also, the problem is not specifi c to any one area or part of our county. So, let’s discuss it honestly and thoughtfully.

Gang issues exist in every re-

gion of the country and are oft en cyclical. Like crime itself, rises in gang violence are not directly linked to any specifi c trend, such as a bad economy or reduced social spending. Law enforce-ment can have a signifi cant eff ect on crime, and on gangs, but of course it is not the only answer. Enforcement deals only with the most extreme and advanced parts of the issue. You’ve heard the phrase, “We can’t arrest our way out of a problem,” and it is true. However, coordinated intel-ligence, aggressive and targeted law enforcement and strategic prosecution can have a signifi cant

eff ect on suppressing violence. It just won’t “solve” long-term gang involvement. We all know that takes a coordinated commitment to working with at-risk kids, the community making gang involve-ment unacceptable. We also need to stop celebrating and promoting the gang culture in movies and entertainment.

So where does that leave us right now? Th e fact is, law enforcement agencies in King County have been doing aggres-sive and coordinated enforcement related to gangs for some time. Th e recent events have brought more attention to the issue, and

the Sheriff ’s Offi ce is a partner with our municipal police depart-ments in tracking, identifying, ar-resting and prosecuting the worst of the worst off enders.

Our challenge is not to allow this enforcement eff ort, and the recent addition of more resources to the fi ght against gangs, to become the “fl avor of the month” and to forget about it once something else has our collective attention.

Th e heavy lift ing of work-ing with kids, preventing gang involvement and violence and getting members out of the gang life will continue, and we need

to remember that it is important, even when the attention fades.

Your Sheriff ’s Offi ce and our area police departments are work-ing together, but we are only part of the solution.

Let’s not overreact or underes-timate the problem. A thought-ful and long-term approach is the best way for us to keep King County a great place to raise your kids and grow your business.

Steve Strachan is the chief deputy at the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. He has 25 years of law enforcement ex-perience. Reach him at steve.strachan@kingcounty.gov or 206-296-4155.

I want you to know that I’ve been praying for you today.

I’ve noticed November some-times gets you down. Which is rather understandable, consider-ing the darkness, coldness and aimlessness that creeps into this corner of the calendar. I know you’re resilient and you’re not going to make a big deal about it, but I want you to know that I’m concerned about you. How you feel today matters to me. And I’m not just saying it … I actually really care about how you’re doing.

I wonder what November used to feel like, before we started worshiping the dollar with such a concerted effort. November used to feel like something. Now it’s a transition, a postscript for the fall, a prelude for the coming winter. Yep, it’s as if Thanksgiving is a one-day

placeholder to remind us that Black Friday is coming. It’s Trick-or-Treat and Deck the Halls in one hur-ried breath. And we do our best to make the best of less than ideal conditions. But sometimes … it just gets to be too much.

That’s why I’ve been praying for you today. I know, you’re not as negative as I am, and you do a better job of looking at the bright side of things. But I know it gets to you. This path we’ve chosen

is costly. It costs us time. We spend hours of our lives working for money that we trade in for things … things that rust, corrode and fade away. It’s not all shallow and meaningless, but so much of it is temporary and fleet-ing. Standing in Walmart, choosing between two similarly priced toys that will break and be discarded within the year.

And then there is the important stuff. The stuff that isn’t stuff at all. The relationships entrusted to our care. The people we love and the people we’re meant to love. I know you try really hard to connect and to make time for the relationships that matter. But it’s incredibly dif-ficult.

The kids grow up so quickly, their world is forever expanding as they pursue their God-given wonder-ment. And you try your best to be part of it. You give room for their wings to expand, but you stay close enough to help them navigate their first flights. Close enough to soothe, encourage and challenge. Close enough to see that they are becoming their own person … that someday they will need you in a different way.

I’ve been praying for the love in your life. Your parents, your family, your dearest sweetheart, your yearn-ing heart to be loved and accepted. I know you do your best to love those entrusted to your care. Even so, relationships can sometimes be lonely affairs. I know sometimes you

give more than you receive. I know sometimes your best efforts don’t translate well. What you mean to be love turns into another fight or lonely evening.

I know you sometimes find yourself late at night, trying to make sense of what it means to love and be loved. I’ve been praying for you, that when you find yourself in these lonely fields, these angry fields, these anxiety ridden fields, you would know you are not alone. No only are you not alone, you are dearly loved.

I know my words are prob-ably not enough. I know I talk a lot about my faith and my God. I know that gets tiring to you some-times. I can see it in your eyes. The last thing in the world I need right now is another sermon. But I can’t help it. I’m a preacher, so I tend to be a bit preachy.

Even so, I need you to know that I’m writing this with the best of intentions. Lately, I’ve been praying for you. Lately, I’ve been crying for you. I’ve

been trying to find a genuine way to let you know how much you are loved and how much I genuinely desire God’s best for your life.

I hope this doesn’t all sound too weird. But I’m trusting you’re getting my heart in all of this. I’m trusting that God will help you where I cannot write the right words or do the right thing.

The angels rejoice when you smile. The heavens rejoice when you em-brace the goodness and grace of the day. And to be honest, I gain great meaning in letting you know that you are dearly loved by God.

Oh yeah, one more thing … go out and take an aimless walk among a bit of nature. Embrace this cold, dark, beautiful November. Pray for me and I’ll pray for you.

Although injuries and illness ham-pered the Auburn Mountainview boys cross country team’s fi nish at last Saturday’s state championship, there was still plenty of glory to go around for the Lions in Pasco.

Among the highlights of the team’s third trip to the state meet were junior co-cap-tain Chris Scharer’s personal-best time of

16 minutes, 16.1 seconds – good for 35th in the 5,000-meter race – and junior Will Faria’s personal-best 101st-place, 17:12.01 time.

Despite continued improvement by many of the team’s runners, however, the Lions fi nished last in the 16-team fi eld.

“Th is season’s top fi ve was the best we’ve had in all the seasons I’ve coached,” coachTyler Nugent said aft er the meet.

Junior Hunter Arnold had three goals in the contest, with senior John Kim, sophomore Jackson Sulewski, senior Stephen Creed and sophomore Colin Lempert all adding a goal apiece. Curtis was led by senior CJ Chapple and junior Porter Sale, who each had three goals.

“I’m really happy with the way everybody played,” team co-captain Creed said

the state tournament.In pool play on Thursday, the

Lions got off to a fast start, defeat-ing Rogers 13-10 and Peninsula 15-11.

On day two of the tourney, the Lions defeated Puyallup 8-5 to qualify for the semifinals on Satur-day, where they lost to North Puget

Sound powerhouse Newport, 10-8.“This is the best we’ve ever done,”

coach Justin Pritchard said.Last year the squad captured

seventh at the state meet.“It’s been a good finish to the

season,” he said. “Going in we had hopes of winning the whole thing. We all wanted to win for the south end. I think we surprised a lot of people.”

For Kendall Ray, an Auburn senior, the win was just as sweet as last year’s fourth-place finish by the Trojan squad.

“I’m happy, because this is my team now,” he said. “Last year we (Auburn) got fourth in state, and this year we got it with this team. I’m glad to be part of this team. Moun-tainview hasn’t gone very far in the last couple years, so it was nice to be

part of this first for their school.”Plans are currently in the works

to find a new coach for the Auburn players, who hope to play as Trojans next season.

At the state games, the Lions also were honored with selections to the tournament all-star teams, with junior Drew Sleezer earn-ing a first-team nod. Creed was selected the second-team squad

[WATER POLO from page 12]

“After that group, we dropped off significantly in terms of experience. It was great having a couple of new runners contribute and develop this season, but our lack of depth hurt us when it came to the postseason. A couple of nagging injuries and illnesses contributed to disappointing finishes at district and state.”

Among those on the walking wounded list for the Lions was senior Dylan Summerlin, who finished 108th overall with a 17:18.9, well below his best time of 16:35.68.

According to junior co-captain Aarun Rumbaugh, Summerlin was battling ill-ness the week before the race and had not fully recovered in time for the state race.

Rumbaugh also struggled, finishing 131st with a time of

17:51.7.“I was coming off a rolled

ankle and wasn’t able to train all week,” Rumbaugh said. “And I started getting a sharp pain in my stomach during the race. I started off good, but I probably didn’t eat right that day.”

Senior Ethan Rumbaugh was 109th with a time of 17:19.2 for the Lions.

Despite the team’s woes at state, Nugent is optimistic about next year’s squad.

“I am encouraged by the group of guys we have com-ing back next season, led by our three strong juniors,” he said.

Scharer added that success next year was dependent on the team’s incoming class.

“We need some more runners if we want to get back to state,” he said. “There are some eighth-graders who are looking

really good, already running sub 5-minute miles.”

ALSO: Auburn Riverside senior Korey Krotzer capped his prep cross country career with a fourth-place finish in the 4A field.

Krotzer, who also finished fourth at last year’s 4A championships, notched a personal best 15-minute, 18.5-second 5,000-meter finish.

Wenatchee’s Jacob Smith posted a 15:03.00 to take home the boys 4A title.

Raven junior Trevor Love captured 53rd place with a personal-best 16:23.5 time.

In the girls 4A competi-tion, Auburn Riverside senior Rachel Atwood finished seventh with an 18:33.1 time and Auburn junior Anna deCarteret was 80th with a 20:00.9 time.

FAMILY LAWAttorney at Law

Ask John at jstocks@vansiclen.com

Attorney: The short answer is at least every 2 years. People often think that the child support they receive is the final amount for several years. It is not. The law in Washington is intended to deal with current incomes and ages only for a short time, and then it should be changed every 1-2 years. When incomes increase, child support should increase. When children get older, they change "brackets" under the schedule and worksheets, which provides a higher support amount. When children turn 12, the primary parent should see a lawyer right away. Before children turn 18 and before they graduate high school, the parent should see a lawyer.

Client: When should I change my order of child support?

Bob was a man of few words but was blessed with a dry sense of humor that was at times entertaining and disarming. He was a loyal Mariners and Seahawks fan although at times he cussed them. Bob liked to watch any Husky sport and when the Cougars weren’t playing the Dawgs, he rooted for them also.

BY C YNTHIA FLASH

For the Auburn Reporter

It’s been 11 years since Shirley Harney Taylor’s 16-year-old son, Brandon, died suddenly in a bicycle accident.

She started July 31, 2000, as a professional woman and mom. Th e next day she was mourning the loss of Brandon.

In the fog of that day, when Taylor had to deal with such a loss, she made a life-affi rming decision that has carried her through the past 11 years. Th e Auburn woman agreed to donate Brandon’s organs and tis-sues – priceless gift s that have given life and quality of life to 52 others.

Brandon attended Auburn High School and was about to enter his junior year. He was active in sports, including cross country, swimming, water polo and track and fi eld.

Her 11-year journey to overcome grief and fi nd new purpose is a case study in resilience and service to inspire people everywhere. It’s a comfort to Taylor, who

has spent countless hours since Brandon’s death talk-ing about the importance of organ donation and giving back to the region’s organ procurement organization – LifeCenter Northwest.

Taylor will talk to Belle-vue business women about the life lessons she’s learned since Brandon’s death at the eWomanNetwork lunch meeting on Nov. 17 at Mag-giano’s Little Italy, 10455 NE 8th St., Bellevue.

“Shirley has brought her passion for donation and the importance of growing the donor registry to com-munity groups across our region and beyond,” said Megan Erwin, LifeCenter Northwest vice president. “She has been active as a leader on the national and local donor family councils – making her a valuable

asset to our organization.”It’s been a long and

arduous journey for Taylor, a single mother who also lost an infant at birth. But she has persevered and has many lessons to teach oth-ers as they face adversity in their lives.

“I’ve become more con-scious of the fragility of life, what we take for granted, knowing that tomorrow is not always there,” said Taylor, who has worked hard to see the positive from her tragedy. “When God closes a door, he opens a window. It’s the gift that Brandon left me. It’s my opportunity to get involved in this and to give as a person and to meet the people I have met.”

LifeCenter’s impactTaylor is especially

gratifi ed to know that in the fi rst nine months of 2011 LifeCenter Northwest has saved and improved the lives of 212 organ recipi-ents and more than 13,500 tissue recipients. And since Brandon died, the nonprofi t organization has helped save the lives of more than 5,000 organ recipients.

“I have been blessed that part of my journey over the last 11 years has included LifeCenter Northwest. Th e dedication they have to making sure these critical gift s of life and of sup-porting the donor families through the process has been truly inspiring. Th e impacts of these gift s given at such a diffi cult time are the miracles that come from our tragedy and they would not happen if it weren’t for LifeCenter,” Taylor said.

Now is an especially signifi cant time in Tay-lor’s life as she prepares to be honored – along with Brandon - at the Jan. 2, 2012, Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on a fl oat to bring greater awareness to the impor-tance of organ donation. All fl oats are made of natural materials, and as such, Tay-lor will create a “fl oragraph” of Brandon’s face out of 100 percent natural materials that will be part of the fl oat.

Taylor, a BECU man-ager, will put the fi nishing touches on the fl oragraph at an event at BECU in Tukwila on Dec. 8.
