Keeping bellies full during summer Auburn School District provides free lunches for children ages 1 to 18

BY ROBERT WHALE

rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Small craft breweries and distilleries, wine production facilities and tasting rooms can draw tourists, promote small business and boost a local economy.

The question that the Auburn City Council will have to answer in the coming weeks is whether it should allow these things in Auburn.

Members of the Planning and Community Development Committee on Monday approved sending to the Finance Committee and from there to the full Council a proposed ordinance calling for a number of changes to the City code that would make such facilities possible in Auburn.

“We’re not necessarily going to have wineries in Auburn … but we may have a manufacturing and production element here,” senior planner Hillary Taylor told members of the committee.

The PCDC first raised the issue last October, then directed city staff to do the necessary spade work.

Junilla and his mother, Aina, were among those who lined up at Veterans Memorial Park Monday to take advantage of opening day of the 2011 Auburn School District’s Summer lunch program.

“I really like it,” said Aina Akeang.

With variations, that same scene played out Monday at 39 other sites, including parks, schools, apartments, churches and community centers throughout the district. All of them will provide nutritious hot and cold meals Monday through Friday, June to August, free to all children ages 1 through 18 without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

The United States Department of Agriculture provides more than 2,000 meals a day at no charge to children in partnership with the Auburn School District and with community organizations in Algona, Auburn and Pacific. Registration is not required. All people need to do is stop by a site at the time listed for a nutritious meal [ more LUNCH page 13 ]

HUD awards $1.8 million for local community centers

The King County Housing Authority has been awarded $1.8 million to expand community centers at the Firwood Circle and Burndale Homes public housing complexes in Auburn under a Capital Fund Community Facilities (CFCF) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The program supports the development of youth education and adult training facilities for public housing residents.

The CFCF program was included in the HUD budget due to the efforts of Sen. Patty Murray. As a result, KCHA and nine other housing authorities across the country will be able to provide better opportunities and brighter futures for public housing families.

“These two facilities will support programs that help children succeed in

FORGET WHERE YOU PUT YOUR CIGARETTES?

Without question, cigarette smoking has been implicated in a host of disorders and diseases that make good arguments for quitting the habit. One of the adverse consequences of smoking recently discovered by researchers is that heavy smoking during midlife increases the risk of dementia. According to the study that tracked more than 21,000 people for 23 years, people who smoked more than two packs per day when they were in their 50s had more than twice the risk of eventually developing Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia than nonsmokers. This increased risk is not difficult to explain since smoking is known to raise blood pressure and stroke risk, make blood vessels less elastic, cause inflammation, and otherwise adversely affect the brain.

PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY is pleased to bring you interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. We encourage a healthy lifestyle amongst our senior residents. We provide a wide range of healthy activity options, and serve healthy meals and snacks to our “family” members. To learn more, contact us today at (253) 939-1332. We will answer your questions, and arrange a tour of our unique senior community at 2902 I Street, N.E. Learn how we earned our superior reputation!

P.S. The study mentioned above did not find any increased risk of dementia among smokers who quit the habit in their 50s.

City staff, however, recommended that at this time language requiring a tasting room not be part of the ordinance.

Planning staff also recommended that tasting rooms be an outright permitted use, that is, requiring no special permits.

“There’s been a couple folks in my life, in my professional career at the YMCA, and here at the college that are on my short list of what I call ‘legends.’” Frasier said.

“He’s one of them.”

A graduate of Lower Columbia College in Longview, Dr. Townsend earned a masters and a Ph.d from the University of Washington.

During his career, he channeled his many talents to fund development and leadership training. He

The National Council for Resource Development, an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges, recognized this fact when it selected GRCC as the 1992 model for its development program.

“When he started putting the GRCC Foundation together, foundation work was not something that was done at community colleges; it was a completely new gig,” Frasier said. “And now it’s a rare community college that

may include retail sales for off-premises consumption.

Local business leaders chimed in.

“Obviously, the Chamber supports business in general, and anything that could help the local economy is great,” said Nancy Wyatt, President and COO of the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce. “The city of Pacific has Trade Route Brewery, which is a wonderful microbrewery. It’s an excellent place with wonderful people. And it’s neat to be able to see people take stuff from the raw product to fruition.

“This has a tourism eledoesn’t have a foundation. I think you can put Clark at the forefront of leaders across the country who saw the value in having a private, nonprofit fundraising or development arm attached to a community college, just like all four-year schools have.”

Dr. Townsend also directed major gift campaigns, a grants program, planned gifts, annual fund drives and negotiated numerous real estate gifts. He developed and directed the management of endowment funds.

In addition to his development responsibilities, he had broad experience in labor contract negotiations, labor relations, conflict resolution and human resource man-

ment, and to add a tourism draw would be wonderful,” Wyatt added.

The proposed ordinance offers the following definitions, as well: • A microbrewery is a production facility that makes beer. It may sell beer of its own making at retail for on-and-off premises consumption and may act as a distributor for beer of its own production.

•A wine production facility may sell wine of its own production at retail for on- and-off premises consumption, and may act as a distributor for wine of its own production. agement.

Dr. Townsend spent 33 years in higher education as a faculty member, counselor, human resources director and then 26 years as assistant to GRCC’s president. In the last 10-plus years of his life, he worked as a fundraising consultant for community colleges and other non-profits.

Council for Resource Development.

In 1990, the Washington State Community College Administrators Association honored him with its Leader of the Year award. In addition, Lower Columbia College recognized him in 1994 for its Alumni Hall of Fame. He served as the 1996 National President of the National Council of Resource Development and held numerous other leadership positions in that organization.

Dr. Townsend was a past President of Auburn Rotary and chaired the district Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program. He served on the Kent and Auburn chamber of commerce boards and was a member of the Northwest Development Officers Association, the National Society of Fundraising Executives, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the National Council for Resource Development.

In 2007, Clark was recruited to help with the

establishment of the Puyallup Fair Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to educational, historical, and preservation elements of the iconic Puyallup Fair. Launched in April 2008, the Puyallup Fair Foundation in a short time raised $2 million in a highly successful founders campaign, which Clark directed.

Today, the Fair Foundation is a thriving nonprofit, a tribute to Dr. Townsends talent, determination and leadership in the field of fundraising.

Dr. Townsend also helped Harmony Hill, a cancer retreat center on Hood Canal, raise $6.5 million dollars to add additional buildings to their campus. He worked on this campaign as a volunteer.

Friends say he was known as well for his wit and his many puns.

He is survived by his wife, Pamela Townsend, his daughter, Kirsten Bell, his son, Dan Townsend, his sister, Ann Remy, his brother, James Townsend and six grandchildren.

There is plenty of love to go around in the White household.

Perpetually busy, Deanna and Paul White often scramble to meet the demanding needs of their growing children – all nine of them.

Each active, event-packed day is challenging and rewarding, planned and spontaneous, interspersed with occasional difficulties and frequent joys.

They would have it no other way.

For the Whites, the kid business means keeping them healthy, happy and safe. It is the family’s No. 1 priority – especially in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy that hit very close to home six years ago.

A summer drowning accident took the life of 2-year-old Paris White in the backyard swimming pool of the Whites’ Lea Hill home.

“It still feels very raw. My heart is broken,” Deanna said of the painful loss of her child.

“We have this amazing family with incredible children, but Paris is a missing part.”

Paris had an infectious smile, loved to dance with daddy, paint nails with mom, sing to grandma.

She has not been forgotten.

Galvanized by her daughter’s death, Deanna took it upon herself to do something to prevent such a horrible, traumatic accident from victimizing others. A month after the tragedy, she established the Paris White Foundation, which is part of the Washington State Drowning Prevention Network (WSDPN). The goal, Deanna

explains, is to help educate and inform people about how serious drownings, and near drownings can be.

“I couldn’t do nothing. I couldn’t sit back and just let what happened to my daughter happen to someone else,” Deanna insisted. “I had to do something. I don’t want this to happen to anybody else. I don’t want anybody else to have to suffer like I suffered.”

Drowning is the leading cause of death among children between the ages of 1 and 4, and the second-leading cause of death among children 1-15 years old, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

In addition, for every child who drowns, four more nearly drown, the CPSC says.

Deanna’s foundation and the WSDPN are

reaching out to get more families and followers onboard to practice drowning prevention. There are water safety methods and tips to follow, they point out, adding that it all comes down to using good common sense.

Not every family pool is equipped with fences or walls, but perhaps all should be, the foundation reminds the public.

The Whites permanently covered the family pool. It is now a large, shaded deck, with room for a basketball court.

Since its inception, the foundation has gone beyond a family back yard.

“I realized quickly that I could not get people to cover their pools up with a hard cover … but I could provide life jackets,” Deanna said. “In my [ more KLAAS page 6 ]

Ban fireworks in our state I’d like to see a statewide ban on fireworks, which only some cities have. Why not the whole state?

Enough people have complained, not just me.

Some people have to get up early to go to work; others have nerves and can’t handle it.

Does anybody even care? What about property damage and a big mess left at public places?

Do they ever get cited for littering?

We worry about bombs and terrorists yet provide a place to buy ammunition, i.e. “Times Square bomber.”

Funny how people complain about gas and food prices, yet spend hundreds of dollars on fireworks without complaining.

I’ll spend my money wisely, thank you.

City considered fireworks ban In addition to the Auburn Reporter’s June 24 article by Mr. Whale regarding fireworks, the Auburn City Council, Municipal Services Committee met on Monday June 13 at its regular meeting. The committee added a fireworks discussion item to its agenda

in response to citizen’s written complaints about a flurry of Fireworks activity on June 9 and 10 that was attributed to planned vendor fireworks demonstrations. The noise from the fireworks pyrotechnics on those Friday and Saturday evenings was extraordinary and delivered large “booms” into the late night. The fireworks percussions and large booms were heard as far away as the southeast Lea Hill area of Auburn.

The committee reviewed various options and even considered “banning” fireworks in the city except for planned permitted fireworks [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

Investing in high-growth businesses in Auburn Whether your small business is in the early stages of development or already thriving and seeking growth capital, you will need to determine whether venture capital financing is right for your company – and if so, how you get it.

It’s why the President announced the “Startup America” initiative to celebrate, inspire, and accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship in Auburn, the Northwest and across the nation.

Venture capital, also often referred to as equity capital,

is money raised by a business in exchange for a share of ownership in the company.

Equity financing allows a business to obtain funds without incurring debt, or without having to repay a specific amount of money at a particular time.

A key source of equity capital for new and emerging businesses is venture capital firms - high net worth investors who seek high returns through private investments

For the last two summers, the Whites have handed out life jackets at pools, rivers and lakes.

“Others are beginning to understand that it’s a good idea,” Paul said. “Now, everyone wants a life jacket.”

The Whites’ 17-year-old son, Skyler, is taking things one step further. With the guidance of his father, a general contractor, Skyler plans to build a sizable kiosk and hand out life jackets this summer at Issac Evans Park in Auburn as part of his Eagle Scout project.

They hope the kiosk will be open on July 14, the sixth-year anniversary of Paris’ death. The public can borrow and return life jackets at the center – all for the sake of safety.

“We talked about doing it for some time,” said Skyler, a Mountainview High School senior-to-be. “I feel like it’s honoring (Paris). It’s something she would want me to do. It’s also helping other people out, so they don’t have to go through a tragedy like we had to go through.”

According to Deanna, three other Eagle Scouts from around the state have asked the foundation for life jackets.

In fact, the foundation distributed about 250 life jackets alone last month. Statewide parks, county sheriffs departments, kids safety groups and various open-water organizations have joined the effort.

“Perhaps if we start with the public facilities, people will begin to realize how serious of an issue this is,” Deanna said. “If we can save just one life, our purpose will be fulfilled.

“Our goal is to have life jacket loaner boards, or any other life jacket loaner program at every open water or regulated facility in the state of Washington,” she explained. “This will help those people who

The committee’s discussion included the assistance of Mayor Lewis, who communicated with the citizens and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) the concerns of the committee. Following the Mayor’s communication,

Senator Roach led a delegation of national leaders to the Republic of China (Taiwan) last month. She represented the National Foundation of Women Legislators. She was elected delegation leader. No tax funds were used.

Already this summer, King County and nearby fire and rescue teams have responded to four rafters in trouble on the fast, cold and deceptively strong Green River.

All four ended up in life-threatening situations, and escaped. All four were without life jackets.

Officials have since made it mandatory for users of all major rivers in unincorporated King County to wear life jackets. The new ordinance goes into effect today.

A smart move, and one the Whites surely are nodding with approval. ==== For more information on the Paris White Foundation, visit www.pariswhite.com.

the MIT took action and re-enforced its fireworks ordinance the next day by distributing notices to all fireworks handlers and customers about the fireworks discharge area hours, Monday through Sunday, scheduled through July 6. This positive action by the MIT has helped control

the operating hours and noise level from the MIT discharge area. Further communication with the MIT regarding fireworks is planned in the near future.

Seattle author provides glimpse of life in Auburn area in 1800s

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Michael Schein is a published author, an awardwinning poet, a playwright, a teacher and a former trial attorney who enjoys describing history and explaining to the area why it matters.

In his second published novel, “Bones Beneath Our Feet” (Bennett & Hastings

Publishing), the Seattle man brings a part of Auburn’s past to life for readers in an engaging way. The historical, lyrical work of fiction explores how the “Boston” tribe of newly arrived American settlers conquered the Puget Sound in the mid-19th century.

The book describes events leading up to, during and following the Puget Sound Indian War of 1855-

1856. It recounts the true story of the fierce battle of wills between Nisqually Chief Leschi and Washington Territorial Gov. Isaac Stevens, and the war that followed.

Schein tells his tale with passion and feeling. In the end, all sides share responsibility for and bear the consequences of war-torn territorial gain, existence and settlement.

“Even more succinctly, it is about how we came to occupy this land,” Schein said. “I hope (the reader) gains a deeper appreciation for the land and the people who came before – and are still here.

“It’s good to understand where we came from, how we got here,” he said, “and the book helps you understand that.”

The book, as Schein explains, is not a conventional history, but a page-turning, part-fiction historical novel written as adventure, romance, conflict, intrigue – “all the juice of life squeezed out by the academic histories.”

Schein’s novel blends political intrigue, stormy intermarriage, betrayal, greed, cruelty, kindness and sacrifice.

To tell his story, Schein

Michael Schein’s novel “Bones Beneath Our Feet” is a part-fiction, historical novel. COURTESY PHOTO gets out of the way, putting the reader on the scene during an important part of local history, when settlers clashed with Native American Tribes to settle the

lands that comprise today’s regional landscape.

The book includes the conflicts on Connell’s Prairie, the White River Massacre and the Battle of Seattle. Of special interest to Auburnites is the retelling of events leading up to the death of Lt. William Slaughter, the U.S. Army officer, casualty of war and soldier from whom the [ more SCHEIN page 12 ]

Laatsch to retire from VRFA

VRFA Chief Stan Laatsch will retire after more than 34 years fighting fires. COURTESY PHOTO

After reflecting on his 34-year anniversary at the Auburn Fire Department and Valley Regional Fire Authority and contemplating for months when “the right time to go” was, Stan Laatsch made his intention to retire on June 30 official.

“June 16th is my anniversary date at the department.

I am happy, healthy, and content. Thirty-four years – it just seemed to be the right time for me,” Laatsch said.

“I have had a good career. It

has been a privilege to serve the community, an honor to serve as chief.”

“Stan has dedicated more than half of his life to serving the community, developing the modern fire service and building the department – he has earned and deserves a great retirement,” said Eric Robertson, Valley Regional Fire Authority administrator.

Laatsch began his service as a firefighter with the legacy Auburn Fire Department

at its one and only station, at 700 Auburn Way South, on June 16, 1977. During the course of his career, he served as a lieutenant, captain, battalion chief and assistant chief. He served in the department’s Special Operations Division for 13 years, including eight as the chief officer.

Laatsch was tapped as fire chief in May 2007, leading the largest division and all of the organization’s operational personnel.

Hanson Dam reservoir at full pool; engineers running tests The Howard Hanson Dam reservoir has reached an elevation of 1,167 feet above sea level, allowing engineers, geologists and other scientists to run a battery of tests to gather more data on the right abutment drainage improvements that are completed and under way.

At the end of testing, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will share findings with national experts and will determine prior to this November if the dam

can return to its authorized flood risk reduction operation.

The Corps is measuring seepage rates through the abutment, functionality of the new drains, as well as conducting other investigations during the next couple of weeks. That data then will be analyzed. The results of that data analysis will help determine paths forward for further interim measures, as well as any potential long-term repairs, to reduce the flood risk in

the highly populated cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila and unincorporated King County.

“As construction on the drainage improvement work continues, all indications are that the new measures will perform as intended,” said Rob Romocki, the Seattle District’s Dam Safety program manager. “Once the current improvement work has been fully completed, we will evaluate the effectiveness of those measures and

As of this release, inflows and outflows are roughly 1,200 cubic feet per second.

However, flows can change in a matter of hours, dependent upon weather, so caution is advised, the Corps said.

Flows downstream of the dam are expected to remain well below flood stage, the Corps said.

San Diego Padres draft Green River’s Hebner

By SHAWN SKAGER

sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Cody Hebner had all the bases covered.

After two years pitching for the Green River Community College Gators, the 20-year-old right-hander and Auburn Mountainview graduate knew he was going to play baseball at a higher level – he just wasn’t sure how high.

Coming into the June 6 Major League Baseball amateur draft, Hebner had already hedged his bets and was entertaining a scholarship offer from Arizona State University.

When the news arrived, however, that he had been selected 143rd overall, in the fourth round, by the San Diego Padres, his choice was clear.

“I was told I’d go (in rounds) three to five, but you can never be certain, it’s just what the scouts tell

Cody Hebner on the mound for the Green River Gators baseball team. San Diego selected Hebner in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft. Courtesy photo you,” Hebner said. “So I was hoping, but I wasn’t banking on it. So it was a pretty big surprise when it came.

I had just gotten back from school and was sitting at home and my dad had the

draft up on the computer.

He was tickled pink and so was my mom, who was there, too.

“I had signed a letter of intent to Arizona State, but I’m going to take this

opportunity to play professionally and start this part of my life,” he continued.

For Hebner – who is expected to start his professional career with the shortseason, single-A Eugene

Emeralds – the selection by the Padres is the culmination of a lifetime of work.

After a stellar prep career playing ball for Glen Walker at Auburn Mountainview, where he was honored as the South Puget Sound League 3A Most Valuable Player his senior year, Hebner headed off to Green River to hone his skills.

“It was key,” Hebner said.

“I was around a good group of guys both years. The coaches really helped me to develop. After my first year as a freshman, I got my feet wet and understood what the hitters were like.

I expected to be able to compete this year because I did well as a freshman.”

Hebner did more than compete as a sophomore, he dominated, notching a miniscule 1.44 ERA with 95 strikeouts in 82 innings and finishing the season with a [ more hebner page 11 ]

He was selected as the 2011 GRCC male student athlete of the year and chosen for the All-Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges firstteam.

At Green River, Hebner said, he tried not to rely on his overpowering fastball alone. Instead, he chose to mix things up with his fivepitch repertoire.

“My fastball usually sits around 93 mph, but I got it up to 97 a couple of times this year,” he said. “I didn’t know it at the time, but they told me in the dugout, ‘you got it up to 97 that inning.’

And I said, ‘holy cow, that’s hard.’ At that level I could probably get away with using my fastball. But I like to approach like a major leaguer and work the batter and throw off-speed as well.

I throw a fastball, a seam splitter, a curve ball, a change up and a slider.”

Now that he’s committed to a professional career as a ballplayer, Hebner said he hopes to follow the path of fellow-Washingtonian and Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum, who also played for Walker.

“I’m a big fan of Tim Lincecum,” said Hebner. “I don’t really throw exactly like him, but if you break us both down, there are some similarities.”

Hebner added that he was pleased to have a chance to start his career in the Pacific Northwest, giving him a chance to play before friends and family, with possible games in the Tri-Cities, Yakima and Everett.

Regardless of what the future holds, Hebner said, he was just pleased to get a chance to put on a professional baseball uniform and prove that he has what it takes to make it.

“It’s always been my dream, and I’ve got a great opportunity with a great team,” he said.

[ GOINGS from page 5 ] in start-up companies.

Typically, venture capital investors invest funds unsecured by assets in young, private companies with the potential for rapid growth in the hope of profiting from their investment. Such investing covers most industries and is appropriate for businesses across the spectrum of developmental stages. Investing in new or very young companies inherently carries a high degree of risk.

But venture capital is long term or “patient capital� that allows companies the time to mature into profitable organizations.

Successful long-term growth for most businesses is dependent upon the availability of equity capital. Lenders generally require some equity cushion or collateral before they will lend to a small business. A lack of equity limits the debt financing available to businesses. Small businesses often

rely on venture capital to provide a fresh injection of equity, which can allow the company to seek new debt.

With President Obama’s “Startup America� initiative, venture capital can be leveraged with a match from the U.S. Small Business Administration to strengthen capital access for entrepreneurs and firms with high-growth potential. Through our Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Program, SBA will target more than $2 billion in new growth capital into companies located in underserved communities and emerging sectors such as clean energy, as well as in early-stage companies facing difficult challenges accessing capital.

Venture capitalists seek companies with high growth potentials, strong management teams, and solid business plans. They typically invest in ventures involved in industries or technologies with which they are personally familiar.
