Lewis, Partridge say so long Mayor, councilmember look back on their many accomplishments By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Anybody who looked for the water sure to be misting Pete Lewis’ and John Partridge’s
eyes or the inevitable hints of sadness on their faces must have figured out right away that they were dealing with the wrong two guys. During the farewell reception at City Hall on Monday night and the council meeting afterward, the talk was upbeat, and the laughs, smiles and jokes frequent.
Outgoing Mayor Pete Lewis, left, and Councilmember John Partridge share a moment with well-wishers at their farewell reception Monday. ROBERT WHALE,
“People talk about mixed feelings, but I’m not really feeling that,” Lewis, Auburn’s mayor for the last 12 years, said of the end of his tenure. “I’ve gone through three wonderful, successful councils. We’ve done four vision maps that included everything we set out to do. [ more farewell page 3 ]

Jury to decide whether Phillip killed Frankel
Police have swift system for fingerprints
By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com
A King County Superior Court jury began deliberating Tuesday afternoon in Kent whether William L. Phillip Jr., stabbed to death Seth Frankel on May 21, 2010 in Frankel’s Auburn home, which he shared with Bonny Johnson, a woman each man loved. Family and friends of Frankel, 41, a city of Kent employee, were in court

From inky cards to electronic fingerprinting. A piece of new equipment has changed the way the Auburn Police Department takes fingerprints, yielding clean results, speeding up the process. Speeding it up a lot. And saving a few bucks. “That’s approximately $4,000 in annual savings we get by going to this,” Bill Peloza, chair of the Municipal Services Committee commented recently during Assistant Police Chief Bill Pierson’s presentation on the new fingerprinting system. “Hey, it’s tax dollars saved, man.” Auburn police collect fingerprints of suspects and take them of new police hires and people applying for concealed weapons permits. Under the old regime, a technician had to be physically present, once a week, and only between certain
Tuesday morning to hear closing arguments in front of the jury by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wyman Yip and defense attorney Anuradha Luthra. The trial lasted six weeks. Yip portrayed Phillip, 33, of Portland, Ore., as a man who wanted to return to a romantic relationship with Johnson and went so far as to kill Frankel in an effort to get back together with her.

A year ago the City of Pacific was in shambles. With its Association of Washington Cities (AWC) insurance cancelled, the City was staring at 2013 without it, thanks to the mismanagement of former Mayor Cy Sun. What a difference a year makes. Today, with nearly 365 days of high-cost, stopgap
insurance to its credit, Pacific hopes to rejoin the AWC risk pool. The City’s insurance had been set to expire at midnight on Dec. 31, 2012, cancelled by the Cities Insurance Association of Washington because of Sun’s mismanagement. In his first year in office, Sun had effectively gutted the City’s department head staff. [ more PACIFIC page 7 ]

New City Code section addresses problem of ‘inattentive driving’ Sometimes motorists get away with blindingly stupid stuff because state and city laws are silent about their particular misdeed. That includes inattentive driving, which is a real problem on today’s streets, roads and highways. Auburn City Council members on Monday night created a new section of the City Code to deal with this very problem. The new section provides a violation that addresses
instances when drivers are inattentive, a lesser violation than negligence or recklessness. The ordinance defines “inattentive driving” as operating a vehicle in a manner that: • Fails to maintain a careful lookout for persons or property in the direction of travel • Evidences a lack of attentiveness required to operate a vehicle and attentiveness that would permit the driver of a motor vehicle to observe anything

resting on, or traveling on, or entering the roadway in time to take appropriate action, as circumstances require. A violation of the new law constitutes a traffic infraction “punishable by a monetary penalty of $250, plus all mandatory court costs, fees and assessments.” City Attorney Dan Heid said in language attached to the ordinance that “it gives the police a tool that provides flexibility where the violation does not necessarily constitute action that is criminally chargeable, but yet should be addressed as a traffic infraction under City codes.”
[ FAREWELL from page 1 ] “Auburn is poised to accomplish so much in the upcoming years, so for me, I just get to watch from a different chair,” Lewis said. Partridge, chair of the Finance Committee, was a member of the Municipal Services Committee, chair of the Sound Cities Association Regional Law, Safety, and Justice Committee, and the National League of Cities Public Safety and Crime Prevention Steering Committee. Among his proudest accomplishments on the City Council, he said, was the key role he played in establishing the Auburn Valley Humane Society and the AVHS animal shelter on

I’ve got a business to run, and I’m going to be devoting more time to it. I have a daughter – Devanni – to marry March 22, and my youngest is graduating.

to invoke this part of his past at nearly every turn. Among the key accomplishments in Lewis’ term were the construction of the Promenade, the completion of the M Street Overpass and Booth Bridge, the founding of the Valley Regional Fire Authority, the establishment of the SCORE regional jail, the Save Our Streets program, and four annexations, the largest of them Lea and West Hill, which brought the population from roughly 50,000 to 74,000. Councilmember Bill Peloza said that Lewis “put Auburn on the map in South King County” and was highly respected for his leadership in bringing the cities of south King County together. He praised Partridge for his hard work on numerous issues, among them solid waste concerns and the founding of the AVHS.

hours, to physically roll an individual’s fingers in ink and complete the process. Each person to be fingerprinted required three cards. With the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), officers bring in the individual, press his or her prints against a glass screen and the computer does the rest, just as if the prints had been put on cards. But where the old system took a month or more to get word back from the FBI, the new system can yield results in a day or two. No longer do police run the risk of doing cards improperly, prompting the FBI to direct them to bring the person back to the station to be fingerprinted again. That’s because IAFIS won’t let police submit prints, Pierson said, unless they are perfect. That is, unless they can be read electronically. So far, so good. At the moment, however, there is one important limitation. “We’re not able (at this time) to have it in a secure location. We can’t bring a suspect of a crime into our police department whom we can’t identify because now we have to uncuff them, and we run the risk

of a fight ensuing and a suspect winning that fight and having a suspect running through the police department. The future is to find a way to use the machine in a secure location,” Pierson said. Pierson then turned to how the new system works for concealed weapons permit applications. “What we would typically do in the past with a concealed weapons permit is that someone would come in and fill out an application. The technician would fingerprint the person and send everything off, and sometimes it would come back a month or two later. We would get it, and if the person passed background, a specialist had to come in to type out the card. Then we would call the person in and give them the permit. “Now, we do it online,” Pierson said. “A person fills out an application and we put that pistol license right into the state system. … What we really get is better customer service and the ability to get these licenses to residents much faster,” Pierson said. According to Pierson, about 1,000 Auburn residents have concealed weapons permits. The fee for a concealed weapons permit is $50.

The Rupert Giving Tree continues to branch out and help others. What began six years ago in JB and Diane Rupert’s home has expanded into something much greater for those in need during the holiday season. “People used to bring bottles of wine and hostess gifts to our holiday parties,” Diane Rupert recalled. “So I said instead of doing that, let’s put something toward a needy cause — a giving tree.” That night the Ruperts collected $3,800 in donations from their generous friends, and a new charity was launched. It has grown considerably over time, becoming one of the Auburn area’s biggest relief efforts of its kind. In 2009, Rupert partnered with the Auburn Rotary Club and Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department. Partnering with Rotary has resulted in larger, taxdeductible donations and many new volunteers. The parks department coordinates lists of families in need through the various service agencies in Auburn. This year the drive has expanded, bringing in new partnerships, donors and possibilities. At last count, Rupert’s mission had collected about $40,000 in contributions for this season. Thanks to Rupert and her team of volunteers, as many at-risk children and needy families as possible are being helped. “We don’t discriminate, we take everybody,” said Rupert, whom the City of Auburn honored earlier this year for her dedication in gathering funds and gifts for local agencies and residents of Auburn. “Going on our sixth year … it has gotten huge,” she said of the program. “We buy every child a coat, we buy every child clothing, we buy every child toys. … We also take care of senior citizens in the local community.” This year’s efforts have brought out the best in businesses and individuals.

Cold weather plan is in place for the homeless I read with interest Alex Gasperi’s letter regarding cold weather plans for the homeless (Auburn Reporter, Dec. 13). I’m always encouraged when young people care enough about social issues to express their concerns. I need to point out though that Auburn does have a plan to provide shelter for homeless people during severe weather. Like most of the cities around us, a shelter is opened when temperatures are predicted to be below freezing for three consecutive nights, or when freezing temperatures are accompanied by snow or ice. There is also flexibility to open it at other times, when it might be needed. The City contracts this service through the Auburn Food Bank, which actually runs and operates the shelter. The shelter is typically open from 9 p.m.

Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. to 7 a.m. on the nights it is open, though occasionally, as Alex observed, it is sometimes opened later because the space is not available at 9. The shelter was open already this month from Dec. 2-10 and averaged 24 people per night, including some children. We are actively seeking a larger space to accommodate additional people, as we’ve had

What’s the plan as we shiver and sweat it out? This summer, the nation sweltered in a deadly heat wave. High temperatures hovered near 100 degrees, the heat buckled highways in several states, and firefighters in Indianapolis evacuated 300 people from a senior
living community when the air conditioning failed. Cities from New York to Seattle set up cooling centers as demand for electricity hit all-time highs. This fall, the nation froze in near-record cold. Temperatures in the upper Midwest recently plummeted to -31

degrees. Freezing temperatures and ice storms snarled air traffic across the nation. Overnight lows in the normally temperate Puget Sound region plunged into the teens and 20s — and stayed there for a week. Cities across the state opened public buildings during the night for the homeless, and electricity demand skyrocketed as homeowners pushed
as many as 31 people in the shelter at one time, which is pretty crowded. It is challenging, though, to find a facility able to accommodate that many people, with little notice and for indefinite periods of time, that meets the necessary access and utility requirements. Information regarding the shelter is published in many places, including on the Auburn Reporter website.

The store also provided discounts and donated wrapping paper, Rupert said. The Federal Way and Covington Costcos donated 158 turkeys to help the Auburn Community Supper program and Auburn Food Bank. Trapper O’Keefe, owner of Trapper Sushi restaurants, continues to be one of largest contributors to the program each year. The restaurant – with locations at the Kent Station, Covington, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Silverdale and Bremerton – donated $15,000 to the cause through raffles where 100 percent of the proceeds went to the Giving Tree. Costco in Federal Way raised money in a contest among department managers, totaling more than $3,200.

Auburn does care about its homeless Alex Gasperi, I love your heart. There is a plan. And because there is a plan – the homeless had a place to stay on the night you are concerned about. The cold weather shelter is operated by the Auburn Food Bank under the Emergency Management Division of the City of Auburn. The shelter is a “cold weather shelter” that opens when the temperature reaches 32 degrees and below. The shelter is operated by volunteers. Cots and blankets are provided by Emergency Management. Wonderful donors provide more blankets, food, hand warmers, socks and coats. The shelter was opened on Dec. 5 – beginning at 9 each night through Dec. 10 – except the one night you mention – when it had to open late. The buildings are public property and they are often rented by people wanting to have a meeting, or a birthday party or a

But renewables – wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower combined – produce only 12 percent of our energy needs. Yet even that is under attack in some quarters.

less, many activists want to severely restrict hydropower production because of the dams. They even push to tear down key dams. They have been successful to some degree. For example, our state law does not allow large utilities to include hydropower in their mandated renewable energy portfolio. Even environmentally conscious California embraces hydropower. If these anti-hydropower activists and their fellow
“no-fossil-fuel” warriors succeed, they will eliminate the source of 95 percent of our energy. What then? How do they intend to replace it? What is their plan? How will they ensure that we can heat and cool 135 million homes, businesses, grocery stores, hospitals and schools? They need to answer these questions, or we will freeze in the winter and swelter in the summer.

wedding reception, etc. The City owns the building and provides it as a shelter. Many nights we are able to open before 9 if there is no other function in the building. On the night you speak of, a private group had rented the building until 11 p.m. “Opening late” wasn’t the fault of someone “not caring.” There are many ways to find out about the shelter and when it is open. The City posts the schedule on its website. (Yes, homeless people can access the Web through computers at the library.) Signs are posted at the library, in our grocery stores, gas stations and at some of the major bus stops and churches. There is a meal every day in Auburn where homeless and those who need a little extra help can eat. Announcements are made at each of these meals. I have personally called those that have given me their phone numbers and told them when the shelter will be open. Auburn does care about the people who live here. This is a very giving city. Auburn is full of people like you who have seen a need and want to help. You have done one thing to help – and that is to care and to encourage others to care. There isn’t a person who has read your letter who doesn’t sense that. Thank you – on behalf of my friends – whose roof is a beautiful sky with stars that shine and sunrises and sunsets that are gorgeous. And even in the worst of weather – they are smiling and laughing and sharing what they have with others who they believe are worse off than they are. – Debbie Christian, executive director, Auburn Food Bank
Yes, we must embrace all practical forms of energy, and the use of renewable energy has increased significantly over the years. But that increase comes with a cost — a cost that has been subsidized by taxpayers. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal government awarded $16 billion in energy subsidies in 2013 — 74 percent of it for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Fossil fuels received 20 percent of the total, and nuclear power received 7 percent. We also need to realize that, as costs for alternative energy rise, so do our electric bills, hitting the poorest and most vulnerable families the hardest. Finally, how will the
opponents of fossil fuels solve the massive job losses and economic collapse that would follow the destruction of the U.S. energy industry? The American Petroleum Institute reports that the oil and gas industry supports 9.2 million jobs in the U.S. and pays $86 million a day in taxes. How do the “nofossil-fuel” purists plan to replace that? We need to have the answers to these questions before we lurch blindly forward on a campaign to eliminate the use of fossil fuels. Otherwise, we’ll all be left out in the cold. Don Brunell is the president of the Association of Washington Business (www.awb.org).

www.auburn-reporter.com Yip said the evidence of a towel found near the murder scene with Phillips DNA on it, cellphone records and text messages prove that he committed the crime. “We have a person high on adrenaline who was amped up,” Yip said about a phone call Phillip made to a friend after Frankel’s death. “(A friend) took it as being amped up about (Portland Timbers) soccer. I suggest to you he was amped up because he accomplished what he set out to do, to murder Seth Frankel. “His text message to Bonny later that evening (after the killing) bared that same mark, the mark of premeditated murder. He complimented her about how she sounded on the radio after killing her boyfriend.” Yip said “the defendant has to be found guilty because it’s the only conclusion that makes sense.” Phillip faces a first-degree mur-
[ pacific from page 1 ] The situation was so dire that City officials at one point considered annexing into neighboring Auburn or disincorporating altogether rather than operate without the liability insurance they needed to protect elected officials and the administration from lawsuits. A last-minute reprieve in the form of a new insurance policy saved the day, but at the same Guier time it saddled Pacific with a higher premium cost, about $250,000 annually. “Basically, it was catastrophic insurance coverage,” said current Mayor Leanne Guier, who, as council president, helped secure the City’s current policy. “The deductible is extremely high ($250,000 for liability, $500,000 for employee coverage), and we have to pay for a third-party administrator for everything. They review any claims that come against the City.” Although the stopgap insurance may have rescued the City, after voters recalled Sun in a special election, the current administration has made getting back into the AWC risk pool a priority. At the Dec. 9 City council meeting, Guier presented councilmembers with a proposed interlocal agreement between Pacific and the AWC’s Risk Management Service Agency (RMSA) that would, with several stipulations, allow Pacific to reenter the risk pool. “Basically, we agreed to
der charge. He pleaded not guilty to the charge in March 2011 after his arrest by Auburn Police in December 2010 in Portland. Luthra told the jury that the state was “trying to put a square peg in a round hole,” by blaming Phillip for the murder. “Not a single witness can put Mr. Phillip in Mr. Frankel’s house on the night Mr. Frankel was killed,” Luthra said. “Not a single witness can tell you that Mr. Phillip knew where Mr. Frankel lived or worked or even knew his last name. Not a single witness can give you a reason why Mr. Phillip would kill Mr. Frankel.” Luthra said the state charged “the wrong person,” simply because Phillip couldn’t be excluded from being in Auburn the night Frankel was killed. She said police failed to investigate other people who might have committed the murder. One of Frankel’s neighbors testified that a corner house was
it, but it’s not official until it’s signed,” Guier said of the agreement. “Council needed to see what they were asking from us, but it’s not confirmed yet.” (The ACW’s decision was announced Wednesday but the results were unavailable at press time.) Among the numerous stipulations the City of Pacific has to fulfill in the proposed agreement are: • complete claims training provided by the AWC RMCA for all clerks, secretaries and risk managers responsible for claims submission within six months; • complete AWC “Elected Officials Essentials” training for elected/appointed mayor, council members, commissioners and
a known drug house. Detectives didn’t talk to anyone at the house, Luthra said. “Maybe someone from the drug house that was high on meth came to the house and had a confrontation with Mr. Frankel and figures out he wasn’t who they were looking for, and they fight and there’s a tragic result,” Luthra said. “The police have said because nothing was stolen from the house so it must have been personal to Mr. Frankel. But there was a lot of evidence ignored. Maybe because they found the love triangle or love square intriguing so they ignored other possibilities.” Yip said cellphone records put Phillip in Kent on May 21, 2010 just before Frankel got off work from his job at City Hall as a video program coordinator. The records from cell towers also put Phillip in Auburn, just four blocks from Frankel’s home. “Miss Luthra likes to make a lot of movie and TV references,”
board members within six months; • complete AWC RMSA “Being an Effective Board Member” training for all civil service commission and park board members within six months; • contact the AWC RMSA before taking any personnel action that may result in the termination of any employee, supervisor or department head; and • submit the City’s “Personnel Policies and Procedures” handbook to the AWC RMSA. The agreement also calls for any Pacific employees who drive a City vehicle to complete a defensive driving course every three years, in addition to an Emergency Vehicle Operating Course mandated every three years for police officers.
Guier said the AWC is to provide training courses free to the City. Despite the long list of requirements, Guier said, the cost savings make the agreement a win for the City. “We haven’t seen what the final cost will be to the City, but it will probably be about half of what we’re paying now,” she said. “And they provide third-party management, which we have to pay for now. This is huge for us to get into the risk pool. We just have to do all the training and basically play by their rules.”

get away because he recently had lost a family member and friend, Luthra said. She said his best friend’s sister lived in Federal Way. She claimed the cellphone towers aren’t necessarily accurate and that Phillip could have been at an Auburn bar or restaurant rather than Frankel’s house when cell records showed him in town. Yip said it’s tough to believe the defense’s argument that Phillip just happened to be in Kent and Auburn on the same night that Frankel was killed because he took a drive from Oregon after being upset. “He’s on his way to see his friend’s sister in Federal Way but he didn’t go to Federal Way, he goes to Auburn,” Yip said. “He must be the unluckiest man in the universe. And on the one day he goes to Auburn, it’s this day. And the one day he goes to Auburn, he travels to Kent first at the time that Seth Frankel gets off of work. That’s how unlucky he is.”
Yip said during a rebuttal to the defense attorney’s closing argument. “This is real life. This isn’t about police putting a GPS tracker on the defendant so we can track every movement he makes. This is good police work. They got his phone numbers. These are records kept by multi-billion dollar companies. They’re not in the business of tracking, but these records are very helpful in the investigation.” Yip’s movie and TV comment referenced to Luthra mentioning the movies “Legally Blonde,” and “Full Metal Jacket,” as well as the TV show, “Modern Family,” during her closing. Luthra used “Legally Blonde,” as an example of an accused killer who didn’t testify. Phillip did not testify. “You’ve heard his story through conversations with police and text messages,” Luthra said. “You have his voice and story. He had nothing to hide and nothing to prove.” Phillip traveled to Auburn from Oregon on May 21, 2010 just to

Stars to come out for comedy show By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Auburnites get a chance Dec. 28 to kiss those holiday blues goodbye with a night of laughter courtesy of the Auburn Big Holiday Comedy Show at the Auburn Avenue Theater. “This year it is Pat Cashman, Jon Keister and myself,” said Brooks McBeth, a Renton native and nationally-renowned funny man. “It’s three wiseass men coming together.” In addition to McBeth, Keister and Cashman – stars of the Northwest’s own “Almost Live” and “The 206” comedy television shows – the night will feature stand-up
comedienne Michelle Westford, and possibly a surprise or two. “It will be some traditional stand-up from Jon and I, then Pat will be doing his exploration into the holiday season,” McBeth said. “He’ll look at things like letters to Santa and Christmas gifts. And there will be a few surprises along the way. Whenever we get together, there is no way of knowing what is going to happen.” The show marks the annual reunion of Cashman, McBeth and Keister, who got their start on Seattle’s own “Almost Live” in the 1980s and ’90s. In the years since that show ended, McBeth has hammered out a comedy career, opening
for the likes of Jack Black, Frank Caliendo, Drew Carey and Joel McHale – also an “Almost Live” alumnus and the star of TV’s “Community.” “We try and get together at least once a year,” McBeth said. “Jon and I do a couple shows together throughout the year, and everyone is always yelling for us to put something together up here. “We love the people in Auburn, and it’s our favorite place to play,” he said. “We just like making this a huge holiday event. We all love each other, and we’re just excited to do a huge show.” Proceeds from the sale of drinks and concessions at the show go to the Auburn Kiwanis, and a dona-

Members of the Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound visited Olympia on Dec. 11 as guests of Sen. Joe Fain (R-Auburn). The group toured the capitol campus, heard from leaders and elected officials from state agencies, and got a firsthand look at what it takes to pass legislation. The group included 28 members enrolled in the program, which prepares local private sector, government and community members for civic and business leadership opportunities. The institute accepts students from Auburn, Kent, Maple Valley, Black Diamond, Covington, Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac and Tukwila. “I’ve received great feedback from past attendees about the value of seeing firsthand how Olympia works,” said Fain, who represents Auburn, Kent and Covington in the state Senate. “These future leaders, whether in business, volunteer efforts, or government, are going to engage with elected officials and state government. Growing their awareness of the political process is essential for success. “

...Healthy Living Avoid dental emergencies with regular exams, prevention
The Corestar Pilates’ fifth annual Thanksgiving Day Sampler, an exercise program and nonperishable food drive, was a big success, according to event coordinators. Corestar Pilates – in conjunction with the City of Auburn – organized a two-hour exercise class for the public on Nov. 28 in the
Gymnasium at Les Gove Park. Proceeds benefitted the Auburn Food Bank. “We had almost 60 people attend and raised $1,260 and two barrels of food,” said Ruth Stover, owner and operator of Corestar Pilates. “It was a great time. I am thrilled that we were able to reach so many people to encourage them to attend and in the end help so
many with these generous donations.” Participants were asked to make a $10 donation and bring nonperishable food. The benefit has grown in size and support each year. The benefit at the new gym brought in more than 40 participants, raising more than $700 and collecting a good bulk of food last year.

dental offices have reduced hours or are on vacation during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so this information is especially important to keep on hand this time of year. So, what do you do if it’s the weekend, your dentist is out of town, or you are? What, if anything can you do to alleviate and stabilize things yourself until you can be seen by your dentist? Actually, there are often things you can do. Read on to learn what to do about several common dental issues. You may want to cut out this article and keep it on your fridge for future use.

Unforeseen dental problems can range from the mild annoyance of a chipped tooth that is irritating your tongue, all the way up to an intensely painful abscessed tooth. The chances of enduring the most typical dental emergencies can usually be prevented by having regular preventive dental visits that include a cleaning, examination and X-rays. Your dentist usually can spot trouble during such and appointment long before it becomes a painful emergency. However, when a dental emergency does strike, knowing how to temporarily alleviate the pain can feel like lifesaving information. Some
to have gotten a lot worse, chances are the nerve inside the tooth has become infected and swollen. Call your dentist. You have the beginnings of an abscessed tooth and likely have only two options: root canal therapy or an extraction. If your toothache starts immediately after eating something that became lodged between your teeth, grab some floss and see if you can remove it, followed by swishing with warm salt water. If that doesn’t do it, avoid the temptation to use a paperclip or some other tool, since you risk making things worse. Popcorn hulls are the most common culprit.

City honors Parks as Tree Steward The City of Auburn Urban Tree Board has recognized the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department as a Tree Steward for preserving the Alaskan Cedar tree at 910 Ninth St. SE. Daryl Faber, parks director, was presented with a proclamation and
certificate during the City Council meeting on Monday. Additionally, the Alaskan Cedar Tree will be designated as a Heritage Tree in Auburn. The preservation of the tree happened during the planning stages of the new gymnasium at Les Gove Community Campus. The project involved redesigning the parking lot where the tree
is rooted. When parks staff realized the plans required removal of the tree, the department stepped in and required that the architectural drawings be redone and the parking lot changed in order to keep the tree standing tall. It is estimated that the tree stands at about 70 feet and could be nearly a century old. “This was a good save,” Faber said.
30 minutes will improve the success rate. Get to the dentist ASAP for stabilization and antibiotics. If you receive a blow to your front tooth and a large piece fractures off, attempt to locate the fragment and bring it with you to the dentist, stored in water. It may be able to be reattached. The above information should prove useful in about 90 percent of the typical things I see on a monthly basis in my office. Again, many of these scenarios can be avoided by regular exams. Don’t put them off and your chances of having your vacation or another special event ruined by a toothache are slim. Prevention is always more cost effective than emergency care, and more comfortable for everyone. Dr. Stuart Rich is a dentist in Auburn with more than 27 years of experience.

Husky Danny Shelton still playing for fun By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
This summer University of Washington junior Danny Shelton took advantage of a rare opportunity. Shelton, an Auburn High School graduate and a starting defensive lineman for the Huskies, was among 11 UW studentathletes who participated in a study-abroad class in Tahiti, an extension of a Pacific Islander studies class Shelton took as part of his anthropology major. For Shelton – also Polynesian, of Samoan descent – the 10-day stay was an eye-opener. “We were able to work with elementary students and in the community and learn about their culture and how family-oriented they are,” Shelton said. “And that gave me more insight into my culture, because it’s similar.” In addition to working with the students at Punavai Plain E’cole E’le’mentarie, several members of the class – Shelton included – helped out with some of the nascent football teams sprouting up in Tahiti, where soccer and rugby are king. “It really just opened our eyes, and we remembered how important football

www.auburn-reporter.com [ calleros from page 14 ] “We’ve had multiple shooting contests and they never come close. Round the World or three-point contests.” “You stopped doing that when I was seven because you knew I was going to catch up,” Max retorts. The Calleros are a family steeped in basketball tradition stretching back more than 50 years. Family patriarch Vern Callero, Tony’s dad, played for Seattle Prep and helped the team place sixth in the state tournament in 1951. Thirteen of Tony’s 16 brothers and sisters played basketball for Enumclaw High School, as did Tony. Most notable is his older brother, Joe Callero, who coached for several years at Seattle University and is the head coach at Division I California Polytechnical University in San Luis Obispo (Cal-Poly). Younger brother Marc Callero is an assistant at Pacific Lutheran University. For Tony, who coached
Auburn High School for three seasons in the early 2000s and now runs the Trojan youth basketball programs, the coaching bug bit early and deep. “I coached my first undefeated season when I was in sixth grade. It was my brother Marc’s fourth grade team,” Tony said. “I thought that was pretty cool. I always played with kids whose dads were coaches.” After his playing career as a guard at Enumclaw, Green River Community College and Central Washington University, from which he graduated in 1993, Tony began his teaching and coaching career. “I found I had a lot more control of the game as a coach than I did as a backup point guard,” Tony said. After stints in Kelso and Dayton, Tony jumped at the chance to move back to King County and coach at Auburn. “Tim Cummings was the district AD, and a former coach here asked me to apply for the job,” Tony said. “Out of respect for him, I

All three boys play for the Trojans, with Josh at varsity, Max on the C-team and Trey in the youth program, coached by Tony. shawn skager, Auburn Reporter ,decided to apply for the job and was hired.” Tony continued: “This was before Auburn Mountainview opened, so Auburn was one of the largest high schools,” he said. “They had a lot of success in the playoffs. They had always been really big. I would come down here, side hitter Talia Bruton and sophomore libero Kiana Ly all chosen as honorable mentions. Kentwood’s Lauren Hackett and Kentridge’s Mae Thungc were named league co-MVPs, and Kentwood coach Bill Callier was chosen as Coach of the Year.

and it was like the University of Auburn for an Enumclaw kid. The district playoffs were always down here. I’d been in this gym when it was jam packed from the time I was four or five years old, coming down to the playoff games. The chance to be the head coach at that school was pretty exciting.” Tony coached the team from 1999-2002 before he resigned to take a job as an assistant at Seattle University with older brother Joe. “He came and asked me
to come coach at Seattle U as an assistant coach,” Tony said. “I was leaving for practices on Saturday mornings with baby Josh and baby Max and a pregnant wife, and Joe gave me a chance to be part time.” After the birth of Trey – “we ran out of names so we started numbering them,” Tony said – Tony took a year off from coaching before taking over the youth program for Auburn coach Ryan Hansen. “It seemed natural for my
kids, if they had an interest, for me to coach them,” he said. “They picked it up instantly. As early as they could walk, they were dribbling.” Josh, now a point guard on the varsity team, said playing for Auburn was ingrained. “For me, it was about seeing all those guys playing each year,” Josh said. “From the time I was really young, I just wanted to be just like them. Seeing my dad coaching just got me closer to that.” As for playing for dad as they came up through the youth programs, Max – a freshman guard on the Trojan C-team – said it was natural, and at times fun. “One time he read in a parenting magazine that your kids should call you coach, not dad, when you’re coaching them,” Max said. “But I still called him dad.” “During basketball he’s coach, but at home he’ll talk to me about basketball like he’s my dad,” Josh said. As for who is the best all-around hoopster in the family, the answer is still up for grabs. “I know when Trey and I are on a team against Max and Josh we have a hard time beating them,” Tony said.

[16] December 20, 2013 In addition to his success on the field, for which he was named an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention for his play on the defensive line this season, Shelton was honored with his second All-PAC-12 academic First Team nomination. Shelton, an anthropology major, has a 3.47 GPA.
doesn’t affect his preparation for the game. We’re just going to keep playing and working together as a team,” Shelton said. And after the game, the Peterson-era begins. “We got to talk with (Peterson) the Friday after Sark left,” Shelton said. “First impressions mean a lot, and I think he did a great job with that. I feel like the team likes him. We don’t know what to expect from him, but we’re just going to be coachable. We’ll be ready after the bowl game. One thing is that he’s been around practice, watching us and how we work. And that says a lot about him.” Regardless of how the Huskies finish the season, Shelton said, he’s already looking ahead to the work he needs to put in for his senior season. “After the season it’s working on more technique and speed drills for pass rushing,” Shelton said. “I felt that I was used more as a run stopper and gap stuffer. I want to improve and do more pass rushing.” Shelton added: “I want to finish my degree and see what my chances are in the NFL,” Shelton said. “That’s my plan.”

year when my defensive coach left. I had to talk with the older guys and decide whether I wanted to stay. In the end I stuck it out and gave the new coach a chance.” Shelton continued: “Football is a game of business. (Sarkisian) has to what he has to do, and we have to do what we have to do as a team. That’s kind of what we’re doing. We’re talking with the younger guys and just getting it into our heads that in the end you’ve got to just keep pushing and doing what you do on the field.” On Dec. 27 the 8-4 Huskies take on the 8-4 Brigham Young University Cougars in the Fight Hunger Bowl at AT&T Field in San Francisco, with Marques Tuiasosopa as interim head coach. “I think Coach Marques is doing really good,” Shelton said. “He’s emphasizing fun for the young guys. We’ve all been through a lot this year, and he’s doing a great job making it fun and not pushing us too much. We’ve built a trust with him, and we want to work for him. It’s a hard time for the coaches as well, and they’re just doing what’s best for them and their families.” In addition to Tuiasosopa, defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and defensive-line coach Tosh Lupoi should be on the sidelines for the Fight Hunger Bowl. And although rumors continue to circulate about which of the coaches will remain after new Husky head coach Chris Peterson takes charge, Shelton said it
