Community Updates from Auburn Mayor, Pete Lewis, Auburn All Stars
Tonight we all gathered down at The Ave to watch our Auburn Little Leaguers. It was 4-0 for us then 4-3 and the tension mounted. We came back and it was 6-3 as we went into the bottom of the 5th and the room grew quiet. One out then two but a man on third a hit and it was 6-4. Oh, the tension kept rising and the other side loaded the bases. One run in and 6-5 and our kids struck them out. One more inning and no one left the room. Then we got 3 more runs and it was 9-5 as the other team stepped up to the plate bottom of the 9th. 3 outs to go. One strike out then two, a new pitcher and, and he's out- Auburn Little League wins 9-5!
Next game tomorrow night at 5PM against Texas. Keep those donations coming in Auburn, they need it.

Auburn to Host Final Regional Forklift Rodeo Competition
Professional forklift drivers in Western Washington are invited to Boeing’s Auburn facility, 2400 Perimeter Road, on Aug. 21 for the third and final qualifying forklift rodeo before the statewide competition next month.
The first two competitions were held in Richland on June 19 and in Spokane on July 17.
The top five winners from all three events will compete in the 13th Annual Forklift Rodeo to be held at the 59th Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Conference in Spokane on Sept. 29 and 30, an event that is co-sponsored by the Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Advisory Board and the Department of Labor & Industries.
The forklift rodeos typically draw the best forklift drivers from around the state with the Western Washington competition often filling up quickly with competitors. The rodeos have a limit of 30 drivers.
The competing forklift drivers must first pass a written exam and inspect a forklift before going on to the obstacle course, completing several tasks that include moving pallets, lengths of pipes and cartons, and driving backwards through a slalom course.
The top seven drivers in the regional competitions earn cash prizes ranging from $50 to $300. In the finals, prizes range from $100 to $500 for the top five drivers.
Visit www.wagovconf.org for registration forms or call 206-281-3842 or 888¬451-2004 (TDD users: 360-902-5797). The entry fee is $40 for competitors. Spectators are welcome and there is no admission charge.
Last year’s individual winners included drivers from Boeing and VersaCold, a cold-storage warehousing and distribution firm.
