From soldier to civilian, the transi-tion can be a difficult one for today’s veteran.

Timm Lovitt should know. He

completed the mission, going from the battlefield to the working world, and now uses his experiences to help veterans help themselves.

“I’m trying to help them be suc-cessful … to help them explore and

understand what’s available to them,” said Lovitt, a former Army infantry-man, now the director of campus veteran resources and services at

First pot shop to open in AuburnBY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Without any inventory in the store, the nose is mostly woody.

Still, James Blankenship beams, point-ing to the wooden floors, and the massive slab of glossy wood that will serve as the front counter for The Stash Box, Auburn’s first recreational marijuana retail shop.

“The build-out for this took about two months,” said Blankenship, 31. “We started in September.”

On Oct. 30, when a Liquor Control Board inspection cleared the way for the official license, allowing the store to start acquiring inventory from a licensed Washington State marijuana processor, Blankenship’s dream took one more stride toward reality.

“We’re hoping to open up around Nov. 15,” said the Liberty High School gradu-ate and recent Auburn resident.

Blankenship’s journey began last year when he applied for a marijuana retail license, hard on the heels of voters ap-proval of I-502 in 2012.

“I just seized the opportunity to ap-ply,” he said. “I knew that what I was doing (as a parts salesman) wasn’t mak-ing me happy. And I wanted something that would allow me to take care of my family.”

Blankenship deliberated what region to apply for when he filled out his request for the Washington State Liquor Control

He was a quiet, unas-suming man who loved his wife and family, enjoyed his friends and supported his community.

A trucker, a longtime Auburn businessman, and an active volunteer who helped others, especially the underprivileged.

Joe Bartkowski was many things to many people.

But on Nov. 4, 2012 a

freeway crash cut short the life of this big-hearted man, who gave so much of himself and had so much more to give.

On Oct. 30, in a courtroom at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center, the man responsible for Bart-kowski’s death – Stephen Jamal Palmer – learned of his punishment for his careless actions on that day,

when he triggered a chain-reaction crash on south-bound Interstate 5 near Federal Way.

King County Superior Court Judge Julia Garratt sentenced Palmer, 22, of Renton, to

27 months in prison for vehicular homicide and reckless endangerment.

Palmer was driving un-der the influence of alcohol and marijuana at the time

of the accident, accord-ing to charging papers. He’d had no prior criminal convictions.

Palmer’s sentencing brought some closure to the Bartkowski family.

“It was justice,” Joe’s widow, Sharon Bartkowski, said afterward. “He made a mistake and needs to be held responsible for it.”

Earlier, describing to the court her husband of 40 years, Sharon Bartkowski choked back tears.

“My husband was every-thing to me. … He loved me more than anything. My heart is broken because Joe is not here with me every day,” she said. “Joe had a joyful spirit. He showed that to me every day. My life was blessed with Joe. My time with Joe wasn’t long enough. Nothing can bring Joe back, nothing can fill my emptiness,” she said.

She then turned to Palmer.

“I hate the choice you made that killed my hus-band,” she said.

Palmer later apologized to the Bartkowski family.

“I am truly, truly sorry for your loss … if I could bring him back, I would,” he said.

The State Patrol said Palmer was driving im-paired at 2:32 a.m., when he lost control of his Nissan Altima, struck a guardrail and came to rest on the freeway.

Palmer and three passen-gers got out of the vehicle and moved to the right shoulder of the freeway.

A Toyota Camry then hit Palmer’s car before

Bartkowski’s truck, carrying 9,000 gallons of aviation fuel, struck the Altima, swerved off the road and rolled down an embank-ment, where it collided with a soundwall and burst into flames.

Authorities said Bart-kowski was able to avoid hitting Palmer’s car and maintain enough control to keep his truck on the free-way before he left the road and slammed into the wall.

Four young adults sus-tained minor injuries. Bart-kowski, days from retire-ment, was killed instantly.

Senior Deputy Prosecut-ing Attorney Rod Scarr lauded Bartkowski for his quick actions.

“He truly was a hero,” Scarr told the court. “… Joe had to more or less thread a needle to get between those two cars, barely clipping one, and indeed, likely saved many, many lives.”

Joe Bartkowski was a big part of the Auburn commu-nity. He and Sharon owned The Print Shop in Auburn for several years before he returned to his passion —

FALL STROLL

BY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Since 2006, Redflex Traffic Systems of Arizona has had a contract with the City of Auburn to provide it with red light photo enforcement cameras and related services.

Now City leaders, unhappy with Red-flex and the $5,000 monthly charge for each camera, appear ready to go with another company, for fewer bucks.

The issue could land in the lap of the City Council on Nov. 17 for discussion and a possible vote. A yes vote al-lows Mayor Nancy Backus to enter into negotiations with GATSO USA, Inc. of Beverly, Ma.

Last week, members of the City’s Municipal Services Committee pored over the proposed contract with GATSO.

Given the marked drop in the number of infrac-tions that have been issued each year since the cameras went live on June 30, 2006, the thing is no longer

paying for itself, is in fact running in the red.

With input from a committee constituted of Auburn Police and the City’s engineering, legal, finance and information technology departments, the City recently put out a

request for propos-als (RP0). In other words, it advertised for new vendors.

Three vendors – Redflex, ATS, and GATSO – bit.

After reviewing the companies, the technology in-volved, the servic-es offered and each

company’s references, the committee chose GATSO. It based its recommenda-tion on the criteria that the RPOs identified, their importance to the City Council and the vision that the people responsible for public safety in Au-burn had for an effective system.

It then sent its recom-mendation along to the Municipal Services Com-mittee.

The contract proposes, among other things:

• An initial three-year contract

• A $3,900 cost per cam-era, per location.

• While the City gets to decide initially where the cameras go, if after three months a location does not produce enough revenue to pay for the cameras, the remaining balance would be zero, and the company would then have the right to consider new locations.

GATSO describes its cameras as portable, fully enclosed, capable of tracking speeds, red light running, able to read auto licenses and, ultimately to perform traffic counts for studies.

At the prompting of Councilmember Wayne Os-borne, committee members decided that as far as school camera sites are concerned, new camera locations would require a 30-day warning to motorists before they went operative. Exist-ing locations would not require such warnings.

Committee members agreed that the red light photo safe signs should be

THE KING COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT’S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS approved on Monday a 2015 budget of $55.6 million to pay for work underway along the Green River, Cedar River, White River and the Snoqualmie River basins. The district is funded by a property tax of 13 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation.Last year, the district began a

comprehensive look at each river corridor. This year the budget continues that commitment by allocating money to implement these corridor plans.“This is a budget that prioritizes and funds the district’s ambitious work program for the coming year,” said Flood District Chair Reagan Dunn. “We are committed to protecting King County residents,

businesses and infrastructure from flooding events ,and this budget continues to reflect that commit-ment.”By doing this, important work sites like the Boeing 737 production facility at the Renton Municipal Airport will be protected from flooding events.

His generosity was well known throughout the community.

At the sentencing, former Auburn mayor Pete Lewis spoke of the Bart-kowskis’ big hearts and unselfish ways.

“Everybody knew Joe and Sharon. Everybody knew that if they needed some help, they could go to Joe and Sharon and get that help,” he said. “Joe would be the first to volunteer, not to get credit. … He would get the job done and quietly leave.

“There are few people who make up a community, who make up the soul of that community, and Joe was one of those people,” Lewis said.

Show of Steele: Boy fights back from surgery

Colleen Steele remains hopeful that her resilient son, Cullen, gains the strength to come home.

It won’t be in time for Thanksgiving, she says, but maybe for Christmas.

After receiving a heart and double-lung transplant three months ago, the Kent boy is slowly on the mend.

Cullen, who turns 15 on Nov. 17, suffers from pulmonary hypertension, a rare, debili-

tating disease of the lungs that affects the function-ing of the heart and can lead to failure. His deteriorating condition, a six-year battle, neces-sitated a last-hour surgery at Stanford University’s Lucile Packard Children’s

Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif.At 6 a.m. on Aug. 6, Colleen got the phone

call she had long been waiting for. Doctors had finally found a donor.

She accompanied Cullen on the urgent flight down to the San Francisco Bay Area, where the following morning, surgeons stood ready to perform a six-hour transplant opera-tion to save the boy’s life.

Defying odds, Cullen pulled through.“He was declining rapidly, and those life-

saving organs didn’t come a moment too soon,” Colleen said of the excruciating ordeal. “The surgeon told me after the transplant that when they did the operation, his old heart and lungs were barely functioning. His old organs were wounded warriors.”

Let’s pay fair wages, provide health care

Your guest columnist, Don Brunell, is correct when he says the election is about jobs and wages (Oct. 24, Auburn Reporter).

Presidents Hoover, Carter and George Herbert Walter Bush are proof that it is the economy that hurts a presi-dent’s voter appeal.

Brunell is wrong when he says that the market should determine the wages of work-ers. Walmart pages low wages and restricts hours to limit health care when the family who owns Walmart is worth a reported $6 trillion.

Personally, I don’t want persons working for me who do not get fair wages and some health care.

I do not go to Walmart. I also do not want a Keystone Pipeline, which moves Ca-nadian oil across my land to our southern coast, where it is refined and sold to the highest bidder that may not be the United States.

Workers deserve a fair wage, and the Affordable Health Care Act is a start for workers to get some health care insur-ance.

As long as Boeing builds some of the world’s best airplanes, which meet market demands, the Seattle area will prosper.

Boeing also pays good wages. Firms that do not pay fair wages and some health care should not prosper.– Harold B. Valentine

Rules of the roadIf you are traveling on a

multi-lane road, usually four lanes, and a school bus is pick-ing up or dropping off kids, you are not required to stop when traveling in the opposite direction.

This occurs on A Street Southeast in Auburn almost daily.

The bus is in the north-bound lanes in front of AutoZone and southbound traffic is in front of O’Reilly’s Auto Parts. Traffic southbound stops for the northbound bus on a four-lane street and causes to traffic to backup to Ellingson Road. This causes traffic at Ellingson Road to come to a complete stop when they shouldn’t have to. Traffic turning to southbound or traf-fic crossing Ellingson is now at a complete standstill when someone is afraid to pass the northbound school bus.– Vic Stevens

Let’s be safe, supportive

I wish I did not have to worry about being safe in my own home. But my “Auburn” has changed a great deal since 1964.

When we see a stranger in our neighbor’s yard and know he doesn’t belong there, we can call 911. When the footsteps we hear at midnight don’t sound right, we must call 911.

We can keep our doors and windows locked, even in sum-mer. We can keep our property well lit and our jewelry in safe places where the guy who breaks in won’t find it. If we have a gun, we can be trained to be safe.

Know our neighbors and care about them. Help us all to be safer and happier.– Virginia Haugen

Lawmakers or rule breakers?

We are a nation of laws. The politicians make the laws. The courts and police enforce the laws.

You can get a ticket for go-ing over the speed limit. You can go to jail for stealing. So why is it OK to sell pot, which is against a federal law? Why do the courts, police and law-makers refuse to enforce the mitigating laws?

Is it OK for me to break the laws like the courts, and lawmakers do?– Jim Koubele

Cullen, ever the fighter, is on the mend, but his recovery has been rough. His new organs are in “minor rejection,” which is normal in the first year of recovery, and anti-inflammation medications have led to seizures, migraines and other complications. But doctors are optimistic that Cullen will respond to treatment.

The transplant center, led by Stan-ford medicine faculty, is considered one of the nation’s finest facilities, supporting some of the highest survival rates in the country for children.

“He’s had some bumps in the road, but he’s doing well. Basically, his doctors say he’s doing well,” Colleen said. “There’s a lot to be figured out, but there’s so much hope. I mean, they’re going to figure this out. It’s just going to take time.”

To be near her son, Colleen left her secretarial job at Auburn’s Holy Family Catholic School and rented a studio apartment not far from the transplant center. The hospital is picking up the costs.

As mom stands by her son’s side, the rest of the family is staying back, more than 800 miles away. Brian, Cullen’s father, is a senior systems administrator. Aidan, 13, Cullen’s brother, attends school.

Despite the long distance, the fam-ily has reunited at the hospital.

“(Aidan) has given up so much over the years and has worried with-out end about his brother,” Colleen said. “This journey has been very hard on him as well, yet he rarely complained. He’s an amazing young

man, and Brian and I are so proud of his strength as well.”

Between treatments, Cullen tries to keep busy with books. He gradu-ated from the eighth grade at Holy Family last spring but has spent his freshman year taking classes at a school in the hospital.

“They’ve been very understand-ing,” Colleen said of the instructors at Kennedy Catholic, Cullen’s high school. “They even have sent him care packages and encouragement. They are really looking forward to the day when he can finally walk through their doors.”

Given the high medical costs, the Steeles are doing their best to make ends meet. Family and friends from Auburn, Kent and surrounding com-munities have organized creative fundraising events.

Amy O’Donnell Riley and COTA (Children’s Organ Transplant As-sociation) have been instrumental raising money to cover the cost of Cullen’s operation.

Colleen cannot thank the many supporters enough.

“We are fortunate to have amazing family and friends,” she said.

Colleen also is overwhelmed by the great gift of life that Cullen re-ceived by the donor and his family.

“We are so grateful to them, and our prayers are always with his fam-ily,” she said.

Colleen intends to write a letter and send a photo of Cullen to the donor’s family. By careful arrange-ment, families have the option to read each other’s letter. They also have the choice to meet in the future. Colleen is entertaining that probability.

For Colleen, it’s been a tough go,

but even more so for her son.“It’s been hard in a sense that a

transplant really shouldn’t be the cure for PH (pulmonary hyperten-sion). You’re really trading one disease for another,” said Colleen, pointing out that November is PH Awareness Month. “It’s been re-ally hard watching Cullen struggle, which is to be expected. It’s hard see-ing him in pain and watching him go through the process of recovery. … Knowing that a transplant is a roller-coaster ride in itself, he will always have challenges.”

Cullen’s plight has been an emo-tional experience, testing the resolve of those around him.

“For a mom, the heartbreak never ends. It’s heart wrenching in many ways, but I also have so much hope for Cullen’s future,” Colleen said. “I try to take it a day at a time. I’ve learned to appreciate the small things. There’s no taking things for granted when you’re going through things like this.

“I look at Cullen now and, despite his current challenges, he looks so much healthier than he has in years,” Colleen said. “Day by day, he is getting stronger, and I can’t wait until he feels well enough to live life to its fullest. Every day I wake up and want to hug him and never let go because I’m so grateful he is still with me.”

Check the recordThe election will be over

by the time this is pub-lished. I wanted to respond to the people who ques-tion my facts by asking how Dave Reichert gets reelected.

The answer is you believe his rhetoric and do not check his record.

All the statements I made can be verified by checking his voting record. Your Congressman’s voting record is a matter of public record. I know he voted for the Democratic initiatives for veteran’s jobs and hous-ing. However, he voted for the Republican budget that did not fund these pro-grams and in fact slashed veteran benefits. I don’t call

that supporting veterans. For those of you have put your lives on the line for this country, I think you de-serve better than someone who just talks a good game.

I want someone who backs it up for you, and that person is not Reichert. In future elections I hope everyone will check their representatives voting record and not just accept everything they say as fact.– Patti Larson

Board lottery.“I just put in one application, I

didn’t try to stack the deck like other people,” he said. “I looked all around from Tacoma all the way to Tukwila.”

But familiarity with Auburn and a good deal on his current space decided him.

“The lottery was in May, and I had given up hope,” he said. “Then I got the word that I won, and I was excited.”

Potential investors from as far away as California contacted Blankenship immediately after he won.

“I wanted to keep it local,” he said.He settled on enlisting the financial

aid of friends from the Bonney Lake and Auburn areas to get the Stash Box up and running. Before they could officially begin work as The Stash Box, LLC., however, the state demanded extensive background checks on him and on the other three members of the corporation.

“We had to have background checks and a complete driving and traf-fic history, even,” he said. “And lots of financial paperwork. It was very intrusive.”

Having passed that first hurdle with no problems, Blankenship and com-pany smacked up against Auburn’s moratorium on marijuana businesses, which the City Council had approved in September of 2013.

“It was beyond frustration at first,”

he said. “The City had the morato-rium, and we didn’t know what to do. But I knew the store had to be here in Auburn.”

Blankenship said he then asked for the help of advisors from the National Organization for the Reform of Mari-juana Laws (NORML), which fights for the legalization and acceptance of marijuana nationwide.

“I started holding my own meetings at the public library and went to all the council meetings,” he said. “I just wanted to make sure everybody knew I didn’t have anything to hide.”

In September of 2014, the City de-cided to let the one-year moratorium

expire, clearing the way for work to began on The Stash Box.

“We want it to be like a cigar or tobacco shop, with a sense of the life-style involved,” he said. “We want it to be a cool place to be at, where custom-ers will want to come by, and come back, just to see what we have.

“We aren’t here to push this on any-one,” he said. “We want to help push the black market out of Auburn.”

So far, Blankenship says, the reac-tion from his neighbors and from city residents to the shop’s location at 3108 A St. S.E. Suite F, has been positive.

“I’ve really only had good reception from people, so far,” he said. “I want to thank the council and mayor for all the work they did. I’m really happy to be in Auburn.

“The biggest concern has been about the edibles,” he continued. “The packaging can’t look anything like candy or something that would appeal to kids. Even something named ‘cook-ies and cream’ can’t be named that be-cause that would appeal to children.”

Store security is a common topic. “This place is actually probably as

secure as most banks,” he said. “We have cameras that are recording 24/7, and we have to keep copies for 90 days. And we have logs for anybody that comes and goes.”

Blankenship said he’ll employ about eight people, full time and part time.

“I’m really happy to be here in Au-burn,” he said. “I want to be a positive impact, not a negative one.”

us the opportunity to really explore the stratosphere with this and see what we can do differently.”

Among the ideas members of the Auburn Youth Council suggested was having a counselor on hand to help teens work through personal issues.

The youth council also talked about having an espresso bar for teens, giving the space a coffee house feel.

Auburn Parks staff en-

couraged that idea, noting the espresso bar could be used to train teens how to be baristas, perhaps giving them a head start on a job at a local coffee stand.

Daryl Faber, director of Parks, Arts and Recreation, said although the City may not want to get into the business of providing the counselor, for various reasons, a space for an organization such as Au-burn Youth Resources to come in and help could be created.

The discussion, led

by Stan Lokting, ARC Architects principal, was a precursor to the design phase of the project.

“With the gym, senior center, youth center and community center, we will have close to 60,000 square feet of real community center uses in one loca-tion, pretty central to the city,” Lokting said. “It’s not only a matter of designing it expertly but also getting

the word out about the op-portunities available there.”

Lokting added that he hopes the building can be completed by June 2016.

The project, as proposed, remodels the existing Parks, Arts and Rec offices on the north end of the park into a youth center and adds an adjacent com-munity center.

Discussions at Tuesday’s brainstorming session

centered on integrating the design of the new building into the existing sur-roundings of the park, and designing the project to meet LEED silver certifica-tion for environmentally-friendly construction.

Lokting explained that to stay within budget and prepare for the future, the building would be built with infrastructure that can accommodate the

addition of eco-friendly features, such as solar panels, in the future.

Additionally, the discus-sion revealed hopes that the center could become an ethnically-diverse, intergenerational meeting place, where all Auburn residents feel welcome and have the opportunity to mingle.

Waxing Poetic by Dick Brugger

Auburn’s Of� cial Poet Laureate

In times of Peace or War

A veteran’s service to our country is esteemed.What he or she has contributed is manifold,Sometimes measured in years of service or

By the endangerments in which they served.

All of us, the whole country, owe an immenseAppreciation to the veterans who served us inTime of peace or war. If they were not there,

Who would have been?

carving style of the Georgia Straits Salish, a small boat topped by a carved human figure hangs with its com-panion piece, an intricately-painted, Puget Sound Salish sea-style paddle.

These pieces and others, drawing inspiration from the Puget Sound Salish sea area to the north, express a small part of local artist, educator and historian Greg Watson’s enduring love affair with Native American culture, blending what he admires so much with his

own ideas.And as of last Tuesday,

all of the works are where anybody can see them, in the lobby of Auburn City Hall at 25 West Main St.

“It’s partly due just to love and admiration for the culture, but also because I’ve done a lot of work in Native American com-munities around here over the years,” Watson said. “I am influenced by things I admire. I’m not an Indian wannabe, but you can’t be as in love with something as I am with this culture and not be influenced by it.

“Even though these are not copies of any particular tradi-tion – I mean, this here is a pretty serious Puget Sound Salish paddle, but you would never have seen anything so elaborately decorated in the old days – most of these are just my interpretation,” Watson said.

As Watson was explain-ing his art, he and Maija McKnight, arts coordina-tor for the City of Auburn, were bustling about, putting to put the final touches to the collection of mounted clay forms, cedar plank figures, and one handmade,

deer hide drum – his own. “There’s something about

paddles that are salmon shaped, and they are both in the water, so that’s what made me think about put-ting on the paddle. This ca-noe here, I guess you could say has to do with the idea

of canoes as living beings, living things,” Watson said.

“...This is about friends and communities that have made me welcome and things that I’ve seen that have taken my heart over the last 30 years or so,” Watson said, singling out his dear friend and inspira-tion, the late Vi Hilbert, an Upper Skagit Tribal elder and one of the pioneers in the re-vival of the native languages of the Puget Sound region, another of Watson’s many interests.

Watson met Hilbert in 1984 when he was work-ing on his graduate degree in museum studies at the University of Washington.

“Somebody told me about this wonderful lady in

Indian studies who taught about languages. I walked into her classroom and be-came a student of hers, and I’m still there,” Watson said.

For Watson, who teaches in the Auburn school system and is active on the Auburn Arts Commission, there is nothing like carving something wonderful from wood, something shaped by the strength and dexterity of his own hands, molded by an age-old instrument, summoning soul stuff.

Stopping to admire Wat-son’s work, a woman gave the exhibit its first grade.

“Awesome,” she said.“Wow, never got an awe-

some before,” Watson said. “I’ll take awesome.”

Constantine said that he is working with the King County Council to find the additional funds needed to fully maintain services for the next two years while efforts continue to find a long-term solution.

“The Auburn clinic is going to stay open as a result of a number of partnerships and investments from a vari-ety of groups, including King County,” said Michael Hursh, director of administration for the City of Auburn. “Auburn led in a lot of the fundraising efforts to preserve services for the next two years, and now we’re looking at part-

nering with King County on funding sources going forward for the whole public health system.”

Given that financial sup-port from the state and fed-eral governments has been on the decline over the last few years, King County an-nounced earlier this year that it would close the clinic and others by the end of 2014.

As of Wednesday, the funding partners are:

• The City of Auburn: $220,000

• The Muckleshoot In-dian Tribe: $150,000

• Group Health: $100,000• Orion Industries:

$40,000• The City of Algona:

$10,000• The City of Pacific:

$10,000• The Valley Regional Fire

Authority: $10,000Some of the numbers could

change, City officials say.Although the Black Dia-

mond and Enumclaw city councils have passed resolu-tions supporting the clinic and indicated their interest in becoming financial partners, neither City has made formal commitments.

“This is a big deal,” Hursh said. “It goes to the preservation and the safety and health of all of South and Southeast King County, which have some of our most needy populations.”

A Salute to our VeteransGreen River Community College.

Lovitt found his way, but it wasn’t easy.

He saw combat with the Army Airborne’s 10th Mountain Division in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002-05. His patrol withstood many nerve-jarring suicide

bomb attacks and surprising episodes with improvised explosive devices.

One attack in particular stands out.

His unit was on a 12-hour patrol outside Baghdad on Sept. 14, 2005, when a car bomb explosion scattered the group. The blast shook the Humvee carrying Lovitt and three other soldiers like a “box of marbles.” It damaged the fortified truck, engulfed it in flames and left a crater in the ground.

Luckily, no one was killed in the explosion, but plenty of heads were left ringing.

Lovitt absorbed a concus-sion, one of several he says he sustained on two lengthy tours of duty, and was later diagnosed with a traumatic

brain injury.After serving five years in

the Army, Lovitt came home with invisible wounds. He struggled with migraines, memory loss and other cognitive problems.

“I would read a page, and by the time I got to the bot-tom of it I’d lost what I was reading,” he said. “At that point, I knew something was wrong.”

So Lovitt found treatment, eventually regaining his memory and rebuilding his cognitive skills.

Unsure of his future, Lo-vitt returned to school.

Peter Schmidt, a Veterans Training Support Center project director at Edmonds Community College, en-couraged Lovitt to deal with

his struggles and connected him to the right people and resources.

“He was encouraging and empowering,” Lovitt said.

Lovitt excelled in the classroom and began work-ing with student veterans. He chartered two student clubs.

“My experiences with campus activities helped me realize that, although my time in the military had ended, my service to my nation and those around me had not,” Lovitt said.

After graduating from Edmonds, Lovitt earned his bachelor’s degree in public affairs from Seattle Universi-ty and a master’s in business administration from West-ern Governor’s University.

Part of the first cohort of the Washington Department of Veteran Affairs, he later be-came its first traumatic brain injury field coordinator.

Today, 32-year-old Lovitt – husband, father of two and proud veteran – plans to pursue a doctorate degree while continuing his work with students at Green River.

Lovitt enjoys the challenge of getting veteran students back on their feet.

Green River has a long history of supporting veter-ans and continues to ensure student success through

comprehensive educational programs and support ser-vices.

“A good day for me is when somebody learns about our resources … and we’re able to help them,” Lovitt said.

Lovitt encourages student veterans to reach out, estab-lish relationships and find the necessary help. Veterans often can’t make it alone.

“People will guide you during your journey, give you a shoulder to lean on and help you laugh when you need it,” he said.

Veterans need help in many ways, Lovitt said.

“The reassimilation is really quick. The general public’s understanding or expectation is that the men and women who come out of the military go through this long, detailed transition process and that they are retrained and given the right tools to be successful. That’s not what’s happening,” Lovitt said.

“The everyday Joe who comes out of the military doesn’t know how to write a resume. They don’t know how to do a job interview. They kinda know how to network but not effectively for careers,” Lovitt explained.

A Salute to our Veterans

[ LOVITT from page 12 ] “Most of them have never

explored what they want to do. Now that they are out, they don’t realize the options.”

Lovitt says the college has stepped up. Green River keeps growing with a healthy infusion of returning veterans ready to redis-cover the classroom. The college served more than 500 student veterans last year, and has helped more than 300 VA-supported student veterans so far this year, Lovitt said.

The GRCC Foundation

is doing its part. Its Veter-ans Educational Transition (VET) Fund covers gaps in student veterans’ education benefits.

Auburn’s VFW Post 1741 and the Kent Rotary Club are among those organiza-tions that have contributed greatly to the college’s vet-eran fund programs.

There are many other resources in place to help veterans, including programs that help ease the transition from combat to campus. The Washington State Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs developed the new GI Bill education benefits programs

for post-9/11 veterans, providing a supportive environment and easier ac-cess to other benefits, such as academic advice, financial aid, career counseling and peer support.

Lovitt is determined to succeed and lead the college’s efforts to help more students find their way. Much more work needs to be done.

“My professional goal is to have the highest reten-tion and completion rates of our student veterans in the state,” Lovitt said. “To move the needle … to have more student veterans graduating here.”

Flight has taken Bill Anderson to greater heights and many adventures throughout the world.

He commanded fighter jets over hos-tile skies in war and piloted all types of planes over friendly skies in peacetime.

Flying brought out the best in the Auburn man, long since retired from his extensive duty with the Air Force and his managerial work at The Boeing Co.

“There’s just something about it, something special,” said 81-year-old Anderson, reflecting on his military and

civilian career, which spanned 43 years. “You’re up in the sky. There’s freedom. You’re in charge and you deal with a lot of problems.”

Flight first gripped the Kent boy grow-ing up in the Green River Valley in the 1940s. A wide-eyed youngster occupied the seat next to the pilot of a small-craft airplane as it took off from a small valley airport tucked next to a rural highway.

The boy was hooked. Flying became his passion.

“I never forgot that flight,” he said.What followed were bigger airplanes

and complicated missions throughout a

21-year military career.Anderson, a 1951 Kent-Meridian High

School graduate, earned a degree in pro-ductions management at the University of Washington, where he was commis-sioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force through the ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) program.

He served as a pilot, instructor and aircraft commander at air bases sprin-kled throughout the country and abroad during the Cold and Vietnam wars.

When called upon in 1968, Major Anderson went to Southeast Asia.

This season the Raven girls soccer team has been downright stingy.

Through 16 games Auburn River-side has given up just five goals total and never more than one goal in any one game.

The team, led by senior Kristina Nelson, the South Puget Sound League 3A Goalkeeper of the Year, has also notched 11 shutouts, result-ing in a 14-2-0 record and second place in league. The Ravens regular season success has led to a berth in the district tourney, where the team played SPSL 3A rival Bonney Lake (4-8-1) at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner in a loser-out contest. A win moves Auburn Riverside on to a winner-to-state, loser-out match against either Enumclaw (7-8-1) or Wilson (3-4-1) Saturday at Highline Memo-rial Stadium in Burien.

“We’ve just been playing tremen-dous defense,” Lewis said. “It’s really been the strength of the team. It all starts with the goalkeeper, and Kristina has been huge for us. She not only has all her shutouts, but we’ve also been in three shootouts and won every one. There has been some great shooting in those, but shootouts come down to goalkeep-ing, and she has been great in those. You get a couple saves and that

helps. She’s just confident and that gives the other kids confidence.”

In addition to Nelson’s play between the pipes, Lewis singled out the defensive play of freshman Taylor Smith, also an SPSL 3A All-League selection.

“She’s been really solid,” Lewis said. “She’s a dominant player. As a club player she plays offense, but for us she plays defense. And she has

three goals from there. From the back, she and Kristina have led it. Our focus as a team has been great. We just have a solid defense. And if you can hold onto zero, it gives you a better chance. We’ve got good of-fensive players, but I think defense is where it all starts.”

Defense may be key, but the

REPORTER STAFF

Auburn Mountainview junior Christian Rotter punched his ticket to the state 3A cross county meet by capturing the Westside Classic 3A District meet at American Lake Golf Course in Lake-wood last Saturday.

Rotter finished the 3.1-mile course in 16 minutes, 13.16 seconds to edge Columbia River senior Austin Blakenship (16:13.95), the defending race champion.

It was Rotter’s third top-five finish at the Westside Classic. He was fourth in 2012 and third last year.

Rotter’s personal-best time is 15:50.81, set last year at the state race, where he finished 16th.

Also qualifying for Auburn Riverside is junior Corey Brinkman, who finished sixth with a 16:33.92 and Dax Tate, a senior who finished 20th with a 17:00.52.

In the girls race, Auburn Mountainview freshman Samantha Goedde earned a berth at the state meet with her 20:52.25 finish. Auburn Riverside junior Amanda Bunger just missed out on

qualifying, finishing 27th with a personal best time of 21:30.44.

The state meet is Satur-day at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

Auburn Memorial last Friday.

The Lancers (3-4 league, 5-4 overall) found the end zone first when junior quarterback Robert Re-iten connected with junior Xavier Weston for a 53-yard touchdown.

Auburn (6-2, 7-3) re-sponded with the next three scores, two runs by senior running back Patrick O’Dell in the first quarter – one for a yard and one from 9 yards out – and Masai Matthews’ 5-yard run in the second quarter.

In the second half, Au-burn posted 21 points, with junior Kevin Clay rushing for a 47-yard TD and junior Malik Williams adding a 17-yard run for a touchdown. O’Dell scored his third touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter with a 30-yard run.

The Trojans finished the game with a whopping 539 yards rushing, with three players gaining more than 100 yards in the game.

O’Dell finished with a game-high 150 yards on 15 carries with three TDs. Wade added 113 yards on eight

carries with a touchdown, and Clay had eight carries for 110 yards and a TD.

Auburn feasted on Lakes turnovers, recovering three fumbles and intercepting the Lancers once.

Defensively, the Trojans held Lakes to just 55 yards on the ground, while allow-ing 299 passing yards.

The win earns the Trojans a 7 p.m. district game Friday against Meadowdale (7-2) at Edmonds Stadium. The winner advances to the first round of the Washington State 3A playoffs and a contest on either Nov. 14 or

15 against the winner of the Lakeside (5-3) versus Penin-sula (9-1) game. Details to be announced.

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 quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

He flew 158 missions, 58 of which were over North Vietnam, primarily in a search-and-destroy role to disrupt the enemy and its supply lines running from North to U.S.-supported South Vietnam.

On three occasions, Viet Cong-fired 37-millimeter shells struck Anderson’s F-4 fighter jet. On one of those missions, enemy flak crippled his plane, but the seasoned pilot was able to nurse the jet back to base.

Anderson was lucky. He came home. Some of his friends did not.

“I was very, very fortu-nate,” Anderson said.

As a senior command pilot with more than 4,300 flying hours, Anderson received several military awards and citations. He retired as a colonel in 1979.

Anderson worked in management at Boeing for 22 years before retiring.

He and his wife of 62

years, Donna, have made Auburn their home since 1979. They raised a son, Jeffrey, and two daughters, Sheri and Lori, and have seven grandchildren.

In retirement, Bill Ander-son stayed active in the com-munity, serving on boards for Green River Community College and the Auburn Mu-

nicipal Airport. To this day, the couple travels and enjoys the company of family and many friends.

“He’s a good guy,” Donna said. “He’s hard working. He’s always been dependable. He loves the challenge.”

And the ability to com-mand the skies.

Ravens have mustered enough offensive firepow-er to tie the school record for wins in the regular season wins at 14, Lewis said.

“After seeing the team at tryouts, I knew we’d be good,” he said. “I thought we’d be better offensively, but we’ve been good enough.”

The team has posted 30 goals in 16 games, for a 1.875 goals-per-game average. Senior midfielder Calli Millang has led the way with six goals and six assists on the season.

Chipping in has been senior Robin Hood, who leads the team in assists

with eight and has con-tributed five goals. Sopho-more Patricia Phithamma has added five goals and an assist.

Also aiding the team in its quest for a state tourney berth have been the team’s co-captains Kellie Jensen, Jewli-Ann Young-Holm and Izzy Creighton, and the team’s senior laden roster.

“Anytime you have that many kids (8) that are experienced, that have a good amount of skill, you’re going to have suc-cess,” Lewis said. “They’re composed all through the season, so you don’t have as many ups and downs as a predominately younger team.”

The Ravens look to move on to the state tourney this week, and tie the season-win record for Raven girls soccer by winning their 15th game of the season.

ALSO: The Auburn Mountainview girls soccer team has earned a berth in the district 3A tourney with a third-place finish in the SPSL 3A with a 10-4-0 record, 10-5-1 overall

The Lions played North Thurston (10-6-0) on Thursday in a loser-out contest. The winner moves on to a winner-to-state, loser-out contest at 2 p.m. Saturday at Highline Me-morial Stadium in Burien against either Prarie (8-6-3) or Capital (10-3-2). The state tourney begins Nov. 10 at various locations.
