Neighbors’ plea pushes big rigs off residential curb New law restricts where heavy trucks can park

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

For Antonetta Fioretti and her neighbors, life on G Street Southeast has been sweet.

Until, that is, the first commercial truck parked about three weeks ago on the quiet residential street, to be followed shortly thereafter by two of its big

cousins.

Much to the dismay of homeowners, some of whom had lived peaceably there for more than 50 years.

Residents fumed that the trucks were laying some serious

ugly on one of Auburn’s finer downtown streets. Plus, they said, the rigs posed a safety hazard, particularly to the generous sprinkling of older folk there who couldn’t always see around them.

“The way they parked showed they didn’t care about you driving out of your driveway,” Fioretti said.

“Plus, on this street the neighbors check on each other — they couldn’t see what was going on.” [ more PARKING page 11 ]

EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES Youth find value, career pathways with program

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Looking for guidance, discipline and skills, Auburn’s Keith Nichols found it working closely with a cop.

“I love it,” said the 19-year-old

Nichols. “I’ve gained confidence and self-worth.”

The South Valley Police Explorer law enforcement program isn’t for every young adult, but it’s a good prerequisite fit for those pursuing a career in public safety.

Nichols, an Auburn Riverside High School graduate, wanted something challenging to prepare himself for the next step. He is ready to enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard and ultimately would like

to work for the Secret Service.

The Explorer Program, open to career-oriented adults 14 to 21 in good standing, has been a part of the Algona Police Department for three years.

The program has been expanding, with Algona sharing resources with Sumner police to become the first Explorer units to combine posts in the state. [ more EXPLORER page 13 ]

Gidget makes the peremptory “woof ” and shuffles up, Frisbee clamped in her canines, eyes locked on yours.

Play, that’s what the blackand-white border collie wants, play, and no bones about it. Thing is, Gidget can be, well, a bit fuzzy about what to do with play when it actually beckons, said owner Patricia Cosgrove, director of the White River Valley Museum.

When the service-trained collie isn’t meeting or greeting visitors, or offering a toy or sniffing the air for

trending treats, she has serious doggie duties to attend to at the museum — delivering mail to the museum staff, by name.

Now, here’s something fresh to add to Gidget’s resume – she’s the spark of Cosgrove’s inspiration for WRVM’s latest photo exhibit: “Best Friends: Antique Images of Animals and Their People,” on display through April 15.

LOCAL Judge touts achievements of court

News tips: Robert Whale, or 253.833.0218, ext. 5052

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It’s easy enough to pass the Auburn Justice Center every day without a thought for what a hive of activity the Municipal Court inside really is.

How busy?

During his annual report Monday evening to Auburn City Council, Municipal Court Judge Pat Burns provided a reminder.

Last year, Burns said, the court averaged more than 119 hearings each day, or 29,635 in all. Some were trials without a jury, some were motions on issues like breathalyzer tests, searches of people’s homes and automobiles, orders issuing protecting domestic violence victims,

motions to close domestic violence cases and reunify families.

Some hearings addressed what to do about someone’s kid struggling with drug addiction, or a loved one moving toward mental illness.

Others were as mundane as speeding tickets or running a red light.

“Complaints are rare, received, and promptly resolved,” Burns said.

“Our court mandate is to provide a neutral forum in as courteous and professional a setting as possible. Out of the 29,635 hearings heard last year, fewer than a dozen resulted in appeals. “…Criminal behavior affects the safety of our streets and impacts the quality of life in our com-

munity. The challenges we have in Auburn are huge,” Burns said.

Among those challenges — that the percentage of citizens living below the poverty line and children receiving state services is amongst the highest in King County.

Auburn also receives Judge Pat Burns the most state funding in King Çounty outside of Seattle for mental health services and alcohol and drug treatment services.

“None of these factors by themselves necessarily has an impact on criminal activity,” Burns said, “but

taken together, the challenges to the community are undeniable.”

To meet those challenges, Burns said, the City provides the Municipal Court with a wealth of resources to supervise criminal offenders. The effective coordination of all the pieces has a tremendous impact on how effectively the City can combat criminal behavior in the community.

The court’s probation department supervises the most serious of the community’s criminal offenders, Burns said. Almost all of those offenders have drug and alcohol problems, mental health issues, multiple felony or misdemeanor and criminal convictions.

Burns said that on the average, 25 percent of the urine samples probation gets back returns positive results. The court focuses on what causes a person to commit crimes in Auburn and tries to give offenders an opportunity to change.

At any given time, Burns said, the department of probation supervises more than 700 criminal convicts, monitoring their compliance with alcohol and drug treatment, domestic violence and or mental health treatments.

Probation officers confirm offenders are taking their mental health medications and tries to confirm that offenders are not violating contact orders, aren’t involved in gang activities, aren’t driving without a valid license, are attending treatment meetings.

If offenders are homeless, probation tries to give them the tools and connections to the community that will get them off the street for good.

Last year the Municipal Court facilitated the release of 270 offenders to in-patient alcohol and drug treatment programs and another 66 offenders to mental health treatment programs. Auburn’s Municipal Court operates the only municipal mental health court and munici-

pal drug court in Washington outside of Seattle.

“We are in the process of trying to establish a veterans court and a community court,” Burns said.

“We anticipate converting to a paperless system by the end of the year. The court contributes to the community by requiring offenders to perform community service benefitting non profit agencies and the City.”

Burns said the court operates a day-jail program that gives people the option of confinement in the court in lieu of jail.

The probation department operates the elective home monitoring program.

Last year, it released 170 offenders from jail. What that means is that in 2011, instead of sitting in jail awaiting trial, 889 people were monitored out of custody by the probation department.

“We estimate that the various alternatives used saved the City jail in excess of $12 million,” Burns said.

Auburn man guilty of strangling wife awaits sentencing

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

A jury last month found Paramjit Singh Basra guilty of first-degree murder for the 2009 death of his wife, Harjinder, in Auburn.

Judge Brian Gain presided over the trial at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Basra, 53, could spend 20 to 26 years in prison. He will be sentenced at 9 a.m., April 20 at 9 a.m. before Gain.

Basra had been set to

stand trial for the seconddegree murder of his 39-year-old wife, but prosecutors had reserved the alternative of charging him with premeditated firstdegree murder if they could show intent at trial.

According to papers in King County Superior Court, Auburn police arrested Basra on July 27, 2009, after his hysterical daughter called 911 to report that her father had attacked her mother and was trying to kill her.

According to charging papers, the girl called 911 again and told the operator that her father, a truck driver, had just returned to the family home in the 29500 block of 125th Avenue Southeast, pushed his hands up against his wife’s throat and killed her. The girl said that one point her father had tried to kill her, too, but that she had locked herself in the master bathroom only a few feet away from where her mother was lying.

When officers arrived at the home, court papers say, they found the front door slightly ajar and Basra looking out at them. He closed and locked the door. An officer knocked, told him to come out, and he finally did.

As the officer placed handcuffs on Basra, he said in broken English, “Ahh … ahh … the problem is, I killed my wife. She’s in the room to the right.” According to the report, Basra appeared “very calm” as he

made this admission.

Police found Harjinder Basra lying on the floor by the foot of the bed in the upstairs master bedroom, warm, but unconscious.

She had no pulse. Medics restored a pulse and then rushed her to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

When police tried to question Mr. Basra, he asked for an attorney and the interrogation stopped.

On the way to the patrol car, court papers say, he said that he had “family prob-

lems,” “I killed my wife,” and “she has problems with men, so I killed her.”

Police later searched the Basra home and found no signs of a struggle, although they did see a car charger cord for a cell phone lying on the bed.

Harjinder Basra was declared brain dead on July 30, 2009. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office determined her death was “homicide due to asphyxiation caused by ligature strangulation.”

Local cake decorator stumbles on recipe for success

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

When Kathy Davis decided to try her hand at baking she had no idea where the icing trail would lead.

Initially interested in just baking with family, the 31-year-old Auburn resident and single, stay-athome mother of four was shocked at what happened when she posted pictures of her creations on the Internet.

“When I started posting pictures on Facebook, they started asking if I did baking for a living,” Davis said. “I said, ‘No, it’s just my hobby.’ After that, they wanted to order from me, so I said sure.”

Happy to make a little extra dough on the side, Davis – a native of the Philippines who was raised in the Marshall Islands and moved to the United States in 2005 – began selling her creations.

“After awhile it kept blooming, so I thought I should continue this,” she said. “And then I started advertising on Craigslist, and people started coming

Kathy Davis, owner of Kathy’s Cake Delight, shows off one of her frosted creations. Shawn Skager, Reporter back for more. I wasn’t expecting it to get this big.”

Completely self-taught with just a little help via the Web site YouTube where she learned to make

fondant icing, Davis makes goodies indistinguishable from cakes made at professional studios.

“It’s just my talent,” she said. “I bake at home and

decorate. I never took any classes.”

In August of 2011, after getting a couple of rave reviews on the wedding planning Web site weddingwire.com, Davis began doing business as Kathy’s Cake Delight.

She said the reaction was overwhelmingly positive, happy customers touting her skills and reasonable prices on Web sites like Yelp and Yahoo.

She designs, bakes, decorates and delivers about three to four cakes a week.

“I could make up to three cakes a day, but if it’s a bigger cake like a wedding cake it would take a day,” Davis said.

Davis said she charges about $20 and more for small cakes, $2.75 a slice for wedding cakes, and up to $400 for her most elaborate creation so far, a Snapdragon-adorned masterpiece.

In addition to her traditional wedding cakes, Davis creates birthday cakes, cake pops and cupcakes and is skilled at designing 3D cakes from pictures, such as her Angry Bird cakes, based on the

popular video game.

“A lot of people comment about my Angry Bird cakes,” she said. “It’s just imagination. Some people will come in with pictures of what they want, and I’ll do little changes from the picture to make it more elegant.”

Davis said she’s drawing customers in from as far away as Lynnwood and Olympia and wants to open a shop soon, hopefully in Auburn.

“I’m looking for a shop right now. I’ve met some agents already,” she said.

“It’s tough when you’re talking with them because you need to know how much space you need and everything else. But it’s fun. Hopefully soon, I’ll get my own bake shop.”

City Council approves program to help small businesses

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It’s about helping small businesses expand, find fresh digs inside Auburn, and proliferate.

City Councilmembers recently approved the Auburn Small Business Development Assistance program, calling it the next step in local efforts to support business development, recruitment and retention.

In effect until Dec. 31, 2013, the program works by cutting the cost

of certain permits and approvals and applying different fee rates, computed at 50-percent of what they usually are.

New businesses, existing businesses that want to expand and move, and existing business that want to relocate to Auburn can take advantage of the free program, if eligible.

Businesses must have 20 or fewer full-time employees to be eligible.

The City’s Planning and Development director, however, can grant a

10-percent variance to this maximum, based on the businesses’ contribution to the city’s economic base.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our local and national economies,” Mayor Pete Lewis said recently. “Many of these businesses are still dealing with the effects of the economic recession that includes reduced or restricted access to financing that may challenge their ability to start, expand or relocate.

“The Small Business

Development Assistance Pilot Program offers an opportunity for the City to promote small business activity in Auburn by reducing costs of entry and allowing more money to be spent on business activities to help them succeed,” Lewis said.

In the past, the City has deferred the impact of fees and system development charges for residential and non-residential development.

It has also authorized a construction sales tax

exemption for building, redevelopment or expansion of certain types of commercial buildings in the Downtown Urban Center (DUC), Heavy Commercial (C3), Mixed Use Commercial (C4) zoning districts, Environmental Park (EP) District, Light Industrial (M-1) and Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning districts.

For more information, call Planning and Development Director Kevin Snyder at (253) 876-1982.

Cosgrove crisscrossed King County to find the 40, sharp, black-and-white images on display. In them, that far off sentimental world of animals shakes off the dust of a century and leaps to life, tail a wag, purring, even sometimes whinnying.

Among the photos a formal shipboard portrait of a sailing crew and its Newfoundland dog. There a pinafored girl enjoying a tea party, constellation of kitties in attendance. Here a small boy astride his prized steed.

The Knights of Pythias, in their dress best, and their little dog stare out of another photo.

you make a fool of yourself with him, not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too.”

Documented in the earliest books, paintings and even hieroglyphs, the tie between people and their furry, four-legged family members has been a source of wonder and delight since the dawn of human history. It’s no wonder, then, that people and their

pets remained popular subjects when photography began and are so today.

“As I’ve worked in museums a few decades, I’ve been able to browse through photo collections, usually looking for an image that might be really formal, a downtown scene, a portrait of a building. But what kept catching my eye were these closer-to-family snapshots during the Progressive Era from 1900 to 1920, somewhere in there. There were these sentimental, usually completely informal images of people and their pets. Just like we do when we pull the cat out and put it on somebody’s lap for a picture.

“You see those expressions when people had just started to move off of farms and began to have more of a pet relationship with animals. I guess I indulged and allowed myself to put together these images of things like that,” Cosgrove said.

The AARP also provides free tax preparation by appointment for those 50 and up at the Auburn Senior Activity Center on Monday and Tuesday mornings until April 12.

“We work very closely with partner organizations such as the AARP and the United Way to provide free tax preparation for the low income or elderly,” IRS spokesperson David Tucker said. “What our folks do is train volunteers who work at free sites across the state, and the nation.”

At the Auburn City Hall site, no appointments are necessary. Spanish and Tagalog translation is available.

“They should bring photo identification, valid Social Security cards for themselves and anyone else they are putting on their return,” Tucker said.

“They basically need to

bring all the different documents you need to file taxes.”

Citizenship is not necessary, but filers should have a bank account number, either savings or checking, to file their refund electronically and have it deposited into the account. The service is for basic tax returns only – no business taxes, rental income or sale of property or stock.

“It’s actually a very popular program,” Tucker said.

In addition, free tax filing preparations are available to members of the military at local bases.

“We’ve also expanded to military bases, so our sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines can take advantage of the free service also,” Tucker said.

For more information, call the United Way at 206-349-9337 or visit the office on the second floor of Auburn City Hall at 25 W. Main St. Appointments at the senior center can be made by calling (253) 931-3016.

“I was the 25th vote, and my caucus finally did the right thing.” – Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who joined Republicans to seize control of the state Senate last week and passed a GOP budget, partly in return for being allowed to rejoin the caucus.

As Pacific Turns, a new drama series Pacific City Hall provides few dull moments these cloudy days.

Controversy, awakened by what some consider the fumblings of a new administration, grips this small town in Auburn’s shadow.

True to his campaign promise, newly elected Mayor Cy Sun is cleaning house, having already removed some prominent staff, notably the public works and community development director and City engineer. He has also replaced the City attorney, dismissed the community services director and placed the police chief on paid administrative leave.

A noticeably frustrated City Council frets those vacancies as it tries to tend to critical business. Without a City staff to oversee ongoing projects, Pacific could lose federal funds it has to have to get those projects done.

Sun insists the work will go on, but not until he sets the tone and orchestrates his own game plan to fix matters. A highly decorated Korean War veteran, Sun, 81, makes no bones about doing things his no-nonsense way. He isn’t afraid of a challenge, nor will he duck from a fight when he sees something wrong. He vows to oversee business personally.

Sun, who has a mechanical engineering background, is keenly aware of the City’s worn infrastructure and systemic woes but is not willing to pay City staff handsomely to correct them.

He has summoned the support of young engineering minds from the University of Washington.

“Our water system, our sewer system are deteriorating,” Sun said. “But we don’t want to cover up the deterioration. We need to replace them.”

But it takes big money to make that happen.

Grant-funded road projects for Stewart, Milwaukee and Butte and a plan for the Valentine Road project are under way. The projects call for more than $4 million in taxpayers’ dollars.

Board adopts Cascade’s Lake Tapps plan The Cascade Board of Directors formally adopted the Lake Tapps Reservoir Property Management Policy at its Feb. 22 Board meeting. The policy addresses use of its property by third parties around the reservoir.

The policy states that any new improvements or modifications on Cascade property will require a license from Cascade, as well as the appropriate permits from state and local jurisdictions as required.

Existing structures or facilities on Cascade property may be “grandfathered” if Cascade determines that they do not pose an adverse impact on the operations of the Reservoir, or pose a danger to public health or safety.

“Our goal is to keep the property free of obstructions and unauthorized structures to ensure dike integrity, water quality, public safety and use are not compromised,” said John Marchione, chair of the Cascade Board of Directors.

E! ESTATE PLANNING FRE SEMINAR

as a voter, I could ever trust an ex-con who committed murder, especially against his wife, any more than I could trust a child molester as an elected official.

The owner of a daycare facility or the owner of a nursing facility would never forgive a person convicted of murder enough to hire him to work with vulnerable populations. I feel that the same level of trust applies when voting for and effectively as a citizen, hiring a city councilmember.

In light of all this, I’m announcing today that I’m starting a recall campaign to force out Hulsey. I will, on my own time and dime, work to collect enough signatures to force a recall vote and give the citizens of Pacific a choice on whether Hulsey should be allowed to continue his service to the City of Pacific.

I also will work out an advertising plan using a combination of Facebook, leaflets, advertisements, prerecorded calls and door knocking that will allow me to effectively reach out to as many Pacific voters as possible.

Do your part, clean up after your pet Thank you, Becky Prenovost, for your letter about inconsiderate dog owners who do not pick up after their pets.

Whether it is a public park, school grounds or street sidewalk, no one appreciates what your pet has left behind due to your laziness. I see a lot of dog waste every time I am in Game Farm Park and don’t understand it when the City provides waste disposal bags for your use – free of charge. Never have I been to that park and had the dispenser empty, so please

Estate Planning is not just for the rich, but is for everyone Protect your family and control your inheritance!* Attend this FREE seminar: Auburn Parks, Arts, & Recreation Administration Building 910 Ninth Street SE Auburn, WA 98002 (Near Les Grove Park)

show some courtesy for all park patrons by using them every visit – not just occasionally.

Part of being a good dog owner is taking proper care of your pet, and that includes disposal of their waste. I, too, walk my dog in Game Farm Park and love the surroundings plus interactions with children who love my dog.

It is disgusting to see the waste when there are so many children there for recreation and family fun – it is a dangerous health hazard. City Park staff are also at risk when they are mowing, cleaning, etc.

Believe me, those who do not clean up after their pet will not be reading signs nor obeying them because obviously they don’t think it means them. A few lazy people who are not considerate enough to clean up after their pet are threatening the places we good pet owners will be able to use in the future.

I also walk my dog at a neighboring school where I always carry dog waste bags (that I buy). But again, it is a major issue. People allow their large dogs to leave waste on playing fields that our children use for baseball, track, soccer, etc.

It is a major health issue if a child gets feces into an open cut, scratch, or sore while participating in a school event. Your child only has to go through it once for you to become a crusader for clean grounds.

Offenders, please show a little respect for others by doing your part and cleaning up after your pet. All park patrons will appreciate your small sacrifice by bending over, taking five seconds to pick up and dispose of waste in one of the many trash cans that are everywhere in the park.

If you can’t do it, maybe you shouldn’t be a pet owner.

Thanks to all in Heart Health Screenings I wanted to thank you all for supporting us in providing the Heart Health Screenings for our community. We were able to screen 60 individuals, many of whom are uninsured and underinsured, including several staff members.

Thank you again, Hope Heart, Auburn Regional Medical Center, Screenpointe, Auburn Reporter, and our own dedicated staff member, Cheri Loden, for helping us run a successful screening event. This event would not have been possible without our collaborative efforts.

Not voting?

Far too many individuals complain about politics, yet don’t even bother to vote.

I was raised on the idea that if you have the ability to vote and simply choose not to use that option, then you forfeit your right to complain.

I am confident many people feel the same way.

– Jeff Swanson

Thank you, firefighters I would like to thank the firefighters for always doing such a great job helping us citizens.

People don’t understand what they do for us. They put their families aside and risk their lives to protect us.

I also would like to thank their families for supporting the firefighters and dealing with their sacrifice.

So thank you for putting their names out there for their service.

The City of Auburn is accepting comments on the draft 2012 Stormwater Management Program through March 19.

Please submit comments in writing to the Water Quality Programs Coordinator, Department of Public Works, 25 W. Main St., Auburn, WA 98001.

Written comments must be received by close of business March 19.

There will be a public

hearing at the March 19 City Council Meeting where comments will also be accepted.

The City was issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Stormwater Permit by the Washington State Department of Ecology on Feb. 16, 2007.

The permit requires the City to prepare and implement a stormwater management Program and to

update the program every year. The draft Stormwater Management Program update identifies how the City is proposing to implement the 2012 requirements of the permit.

The permit, which became effective Feb. 16, 2007 and was modified on June 17, 2009, authorizes the discharge of stormwater to surface and ground waters from Auburn’s storm drainage system.

What’s more, the City’s stormwater pond replacement project seems to have stalled, threatening millions of dollars in grant money.

Sun says the repairs will be effected, but several citizens aren’t so sure. The new mayor, in their observation, has shown a poor grasp of how agencies and public works operate.

Sun claims the City has not worked efficiently or openly in the past.

Richard Hildreth, the two-term incumbent whom Sun upset in the November general election, begs to differ. Upset with the mayor’s remarks at the Feb. 27 City Council meeting, Hildreth broke months of silence this week.

If we lose our ability to hunt, we lose an important source of traditional food, and we can’t afford to do that. Indian people evolved eating traditional foods like elk, salmon, clams and berries. These are the foods that are best for our bodies.

That’s why part of the hunting department’s mission is to help connect tribal members with sources for game meat.

Tribal hunters hunt for food, not for sport. They traditionally hunt not only for themselves, but for their extended families. It’s common for tribes to designate hunters to harvest wildlife for ceremonies, as well as for tribal elders and others

ing to my administration lying to the people and not representing the people,” Hildreth said. “I want him to explain what he is basing this on. During the campaign he made allusions to corruption, and although he has been asked four times to produce evidence of this, he has not done so.

“I do not wish to attack Mayor Sun or comment on how little leadership he has shown,” Hildreth said. “I am proud of what we accomplished when I was mayor and the economic condition our City was in when I left office. I will not allow him to blame his mismanagement and failures on me or anyone who worked for the City of Pacific under my administration.”

Hildreth said he left Sun’s office with a balanced budget and nearly $600,000 in reserve funds.

Moreover, the former mayor, deeply concerned about the recent string of firings, is hopeful that the who are unable to hunt for themselves.

Helping tribal members incorporate more traditional foods in their diets is also the goal of the Food Sovereignty Program at Northwest Indian College’s campus on the Muckleshoot Tribe’s reservation near Auburn. Food sovereignty is the right of people to eat healthy traditional foods that are produced sustainably and don’t harm the environment.

The program grew from a

More woes Sun is wrestling with other problems.

City Councilmember John Jones, for one, is demanding a written apology from Sun for what he claims were “slanderous” comments the mayor made at a Feb. 17 public meeting.

Sun organized the gathering as a citizen at the Pacific Community Center Gym to defend and prove his military record. He did so with medals and documents.

In his speech, Sun claimed that Jones and residents Reva Bryant and Audrey Cruickshank were part of a “hate seed in the City of Pacific,” and maintained they went to the King County Voting Commissioner to disqualify him from the mayoral race. project by the Muckleshoot, Tulalip and Suquamish tribes and the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. The museum developed a list of traditional foods that Indian people ate before nonIndians arrived in western Washington. The Food Sovereignty program helps tribal members make those foods – such as nettles, camas, huckleberries, salmon and wild game – part of their everyday lives.

The project reminds us

Jones says he went to King County Elections to point out an error regarding Sun’s birthday in his campaign registry.

The three may seek legal action if Sun does not apologize.

Jones denies being part of any hate group.

“I don’t hate you, I don’t hate you because you’re an Asian-American,” Jones told Sun at last week’s City Council meeting. “I don’t understand why you would say that I do. I’m an American, just like you.”

Despite all the rhetoric, amplified by the echo chamber of a small, divided town, Sun vows to fight on. He admits he has made mistakes and, at times, has grown weary of the public fight. He wants to move on but is facing resistance. Unless he gains the support of the council and the people, this battle will continue to rage. that to have traditional foods, we must continue to be good natural resources managers. Our treaties recognize that food is at the center of our cultures.

Indian tribes are sovereign nations, and part of that sovereignty includes access to the traditional foods needed to keep ourselves and our communities healthy and strong.

Maple SPAM doughnuts a hit for Auburn man Spamero uno, King of the canned meat heap — call the honor what you want, Jason Munson still can’t believe it.

After all, it’s not every day a guy takes first-place honors in the national Great American SPAM® Championship.

The Auburn man’s blue ribbon recipe at the Puyallup Fair catapulted the recipe to the national contest, and then he received word that his “Mini Maple SPAM Doughnuts” recipe had beaten out 800 other entries for top honors.

Munson, a 41-year-old home cook and aircraft mechanic for Alaska Airlines, won an all-expense-paid trip

for two to Hawaii. He plans to go in April, just in time for the annual SPAM JAM Waikiki food festival.

Munson had entered the SPAM contest for seven years before taking first place.

The inspiration for his mini doughnuts was a baconflavored pastry he ate in Oregon.

The winning bite-sized treats are baked with a buttermilk batter, paired with a fried SPAM ring then finished with maple icing and a sprinkling of diced SPAM Classic. They won for their taste, creativity and presentation.

“These scrumptious,

bite-sized doughnuts wowed the entire judging panel with their delicious flavor,” said SPAM brand manager Nicole Behne. “They especially stood out for their creativity and how easy they are to make.”

Munson calls cooking his “main hobby.” His son, Jordan, and wife, Lynn, are his top taste-testers. Once his recipes pass their “inspection,” he moves on to friends and coworkers.

Munson has competed in home arts contests at the fair for years, and all but one year in the SPAM category.

za, who suggested residents take their complaints to the Auburn City Council.

“Here they’ve been in this community 40 years, living in that area,” Peloza said of the homeowners, “and now all a sudden they got huge trucks sitting out in front of them. It’s an eyesore.”

Peloza on Feb. 28 sicced his Municipal Services Subcommittee on the problem.

City Attorney Dan Heid and Planning Director Kevin Snyder went off to write new rules that would allow the City to ticket those large trucks.

On Feb. 5, the City Council added new language to the City Code forbidding trucks of a certain weight, with certain exceptions, from parking in all residential zoning districts, as follows: • No person can park any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more along any street, alley, or public right of way in a residential zoning district.

• The restrictions don’t apply to pick-up trucks fall-

ing within the Class 3 truck classification with a gross vehicle weight rating 14,000 pounds or under.

• The new regulations carve out an exception for large recreational vehicles.

• The new rules don’t apply to parking on or along principal arterial or minor arterials, which is covered elsewhere in the City Code.

• The penalty for violations is $250.

The new law becomes effective March 17.

Residents who showed up to the Council meeting were beaming.

“He’s done a real good job, and a fast job,” Fioretti said of Peloza.

“There’s so many areas in Auburn that aren’t looking too good these days, and when we do have a street that looks good, we want to keep it that way,” Erickson said.

Fioretti’s neighbor, Carolyn Erickson, recalled her first encounter with one of the truck owners.

“I said, ‘You’re not going to park that on our street, are you?’ He said, ‘I sure am.’ I said, ‘You can’t do that, this is a residential neighborhood. You can’t park a commercial truck there.’ He said, ‘It’s no longer a commercial truck.

It’s a private truck, because I bought it from them, and it’s my truck.’”

Turns out, police couldn’t ticket the truck owners because they weren’t doing anything wrong. Rules on the book respecting the parking of commercial and large vehicles forbid parking any with a gross vehicle weight of 16,000 pounds or more on any street, alley or public right of way, while exempting certain streets.

None of the trucks on G Street fell within the purview of the existing rules.

Thoroughly frustrated by now, Fioretti approached City Councilman Bill Pelo-

tata, Sunrise SPAMABELLA Quiche, and Kiss My Grits & SPAM Classic were just a few of the other finalist recipes.

The contest called for breakfast or brunch-type entries.

Nearly 800 people competed in the Hormel Foods-sponsored contest, which is hosted at fairs throughout the U.S. For Munson’s doughnut recipe and others visit www. spam.com.

Munson said he may consider entering another cooking/baking contest at the Sept. 7-23 Puyallup Fair.

Recipe entry information will be available in early May at www.thefair.com, under exhibit entries.

Training does not interfere with school, church or family activities.

The program’s primary purpose is to provide, through actual experience, a means to determine if young men or women would like to pursue a career in law enforcement.

But, as Algona Police Sgt. Lee Gaskill explains, the Explorer program is not a proving ground for future police officers.

“We’re not here to raise cops, we’re here to raise good citizens,” said Gaskill, a longtime supporter and advisor in the Explorer program. “I would say a very small percentage of them will actually be police officers in the future, but a bigger percentage of them will be firefighters, EMTs, paramedics. They will be dispatchers … they will have a volunteer heart.”

Gaskill says the program is about much more than exposing young adults to the police world. It is all

about mentorship, preaching old-fashioned values, providing good choices and building strong character.

Nichols, who has been with the program for 3½ years, has emerged as a captain in charge of younger cadets. While learning to take on a leadership role, Nichols has acquired many skills, including the responsible handling of a firearm.

“Most people are scared of guns,” he said. “I’m not scared of guns because I know what they can and can’t do.”

Explorer duty involves traffic stops, building searches, crowd control, event security, community outreach and assisting officers with paperwork. They are introduced to different areas of law enforcement, including investigations, SWAT deployments, crime scene work and other procedures.

They also go on ride-

Auburn girls basketball’s longtime statistician retires

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

For almost 40 years a familiar face has looked on at Auburn girls basketball games.

Priscilla Wood’s face.

From the program’s birth in 1974 – hot on the heels of the 1972 implementation of Title IX, mandating equality for female athletics in high schools and colleges – Wood has charted the progress of Auburn’s lady hardwood warriors.

In 38 years of keeping stats for the Trojans, Wood has just about seen it all – 16 league titles, three dis-

trict titles, 22 state appearances and two Washington State titles.

Not only that, she’s kept track of it all, too, charting the success of the teams in the “Big Book,” a hefty, 60page statistical history of Auburn girls basketball, updated at the end of every season.

“It’s fun, it’s a hobby,” said Wood, who taught business at Auburn High School from 1965 to 1995. “When I retired from teaching I would tell people that I had retired from my day job, but I kept my fun job. It just kept me involved.”

The wrestling tradition is firmly established in the Green River Valley.

With the Auburn and Auburn Riverside high schools programs entrenched as steady

powerhouses, grapplers on Lea Hill, especially those bound for Auburn Mountainview High School, sometimes can feel a little lost.

“Sure, we’re Auburn,” said Adam France, coach of the Auburn Mountainview and 3D Wrestling Club programs. “But the kids have a different affiliation with Auburn than the kids do down the hill.”

France and 3D, however look to change that.

Since Auburn’s newest high school opened in 2005, France has run a club program with a dual purpose – providing an opportunity for kids to learn and compete at wrestling and build a mat tradition for future Lions

Muckleshoot boys take 6th at 1B hoop tourney The Muckleshoot Tribal Wolves ended the season with a sixth-place finish at the state 1B boys basketball tournament last Saturday at the Spokane Arena.

The Wolves (18-8) were unable to come back from a 52-16 deficit after three quarters, falling 62-36 to fourthplace Sunnyside Christian.

Trevor Wagenaar’s game-high 33 points paced Sunnyside Christian.

The Wolves finished the season with an 18-8 overall record, 11-4 in the Sea-Tac 1B Conference, good for second to Mount Rainier Lutheran.

At the state tourney, Muckleshoot Tribal went 1-2, losing to King’s Way Christian 61-44 in the first round, then bouncing back with a 67-57 win over Moses Lake Christian in the consolation bracket.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ Wood from page 15] From an early age, Wood said, she embraced her role as a supporter and observer of sports, rather than a participant.

“I’m completely unathletic,” Wood said. “But I know all the rules and love to watch any sport.”

Her parents poured that passion into her when she was just a kid.

“My mother and father were diehard Husky fans,” she said. “They had season football tickets. I just grew up watching the games. I learned football in the old upper deck of Husky Stadium.”

Wood would grill her dad on the ins-and-outs of whatever sport they were attending at the time.

“He’d answer all my questions and tell me how the game went,” she said. “And of course, I was curious about how the games went and wanted to know about all the rules and statistics.”

Her passion for sports grew and grew during her years at Ballard High School, and later at Seattle Pacific University.

“The boys basketball team at Seattle Pacific was pretty good and went to nationals,” Wood said. “I think I tutored some of the players on the team.”

After graduation, Wood started her teaching career at Auburn High School.

Soon her love for sports found its outlet in the Trojan athletic teams.

“When I started there I was at all the football games, the boys basketball games, wrestling, you name it,” Wood said. “I followed the teams, but there weren’t any girls teams.

When they started adding the girls’ teams, I started following them also. One of the reasons I taught high school was that I loved sports. Teaching high school meant I could go to a lot of high school games for

spend doing it. And my husband (of 25 years, Dick Wood) and I are trying to downsize and move to Shoreline to a retirement community.”

Despite tending to the everyday compiling of stats for the program, Wood said she plans to stay involved with the team.

“I will not stay away from it completely,” Wood said. “I’ll still take the information and put it into the computer. I’ll probably still do the big book, because I don’t want that to disappear. I’ll go down and see some games, make some cards for the kids. I told this year’s juniors that I would make them senior cards. I don’t think I can go cold turkey.”

Although she may not be on the sidelines for every game, Wood will continue to be an inspiration, Ladage said.

“Beyond just basketball, Pricilla has been an inspiration to every child she has come in contact with,” he said. “She leaves an important legacy and one we can all learn from — it’s for the kids. And she embodied that every day.”

Former head coach Ed Bender agrees: “Priscilla’s commitment and effort to the girls program gave those teams a feeling of real importance at a time when girls sports often didn’t get much respect,” he said. “To have such a constant supporter of the girls’ efforts certainly made them feel special and motivated them to excel. Priscilla always kept a smile on her face, even through tough games. She was much better at that than the coaches were. She was an inspiration to us as well.”

Looking back on nearly 40 decades of service to the Auburn program, Wood said she was just happy to help.

“It was something that I enjoyed so much I just figured that it was something I was able to do, knew how to do and saw a need, and thought why not?”

“We want to have an atmosphere where kids from Lea Hill are excited about wrestling and going to Auburn Mountainview,” France said. “But we also want to make sure it’s open to everybody.

“Our name used to just be Auburn Mountainview, but we changed it so it wouldn’t get confused with the high school program.

We wanted more people to feel open to coming,” France said.

A parent suggested a name for the year-round club – 3D for discipline, dedication and determination.

The name stuck.

Open gym for children in grades 6-12 run from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. daily. Cost is $1 per day, $10 per month or $25 for a quarterly pass. The gym is also open for adults from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. Monday and Wednesday the gym features pickleball

features freestyle and Greco-Roman instruction, is open to wrestlers 5 and older, boy or girl, without any geographic boundaries.

France and assistants Jerry Bowles, Rick Buell, Chad Perry and Darrell King comprise the staff.

The club meets 6 to 8 p.m.

Mondays and Wednesdays at Auburn Mountainview High School.

Although open to all, France said the 3D club is geared toward wrestlers with some mat experience.

“We don’t do a ton of beginner stuff here,” he said.

“Most of them have had some club or freestyle wrestling. … Mainly it’s the more experienced kids who want to supplement their training.”

Club wrestlers compete in local tournaments, beginning

in February and stretching to May. After that, wrestlers step up to state, club and youth tournaments.

“I’ll go to whatever ones we have kids going to,” he said. “There are some for the younger kids, some for the high school kids. And there are some Greco-Roman tourneys.”

The club itself is free all interested wrestlers need to do is obtain a USA Wrestling card – available at www. themat.com – to compete.

“That allows them to go to all the tournaments,” France said. “The tourneys also have a fee, but they need the card to enter.”

The club carries a core of 20-30 wrestlers, including Lakeview Elementary’s Cameron Foust, 11, a second-year grappler who finds the club

“Wrestling is rough and tough, but it’s worth it,” he said.

France hopes the club will help develop good wrestlers and build a solid program on the hill for years to come.

“I don’t want it to seem like it’s just for Auburn Mountainview kids, but it’s going to be good for the program,” France said.

“The one problem we do have is that we lack depth to our tradition. Auburn High School has been doing it for so long. We don’t really have that. It just takes time to instill that feeling in the kids that this is their school.”

A: Think of it this way. Reasearch indicates that the average vehicle is driven about 12,000 miles a year. A car with a toe angle misadjustment of 0.34 degrees (only 0.17 inches) out of specification will drag its tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!
