Road bond measure losing Promenade

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn voters on Tuesday night were asked to render judgment on a $59 million bond measure that would repair 31 miles of aging

commuter and freight corridors and make improvements at key intersections throughout Auburn.

In returns from Tuesday night’s special election, the Save Our Streets Phase 2 measure, which the newly

formed Auburn Transportation Benefit District put forward in February to make up for monies the state and federal governments no longer contribute, got thumped. [ more ROADS page 3 ]

brings new look, possibilities

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The City of Auburn has never been shy about sharing its hopes for attracting new development to the downtown to expand its tax base.

But some vintage electrical and water systems under the City-owned blocks earmarked for development south of City Hall kept blunting the City’s appeal to developers. Some of the infrastructure dated to the 1930s.

Auburn’s leaders realized that if they were going to make developers salivate about building anything inside their 120-year-old city,

Now, five years from the first stabs at financing and designing the City’s answer to the problem, the South Division Street Promenade is open. Underground are some new, city-owned fiber conduits, storm drainage improvements, relocated sewer lines and enlarged, cityowned water lines. Workers replaced old clay pipes and buried aerial wires.

FAIRIES, MAGICAL FOLK SPRING T0 LIFE GRCC stages imaginative festival for make believers

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Fairies are shy folk.

Typically, the mythical, mischievous, mystical denizens of the forest – fairies,

dryads, nymphs, brownies and pixies – like to stay deep within the confines of their woodland homes and are rarely seen en masse.

However, the fifth annual Spring Fairy Festival at the Lindbloom Center at Green River Community College in Auburn last Saturday provided a rare opportunity for the fantastical fairy folk to gather and

celebrate the coming of spring.

For the past five years, Auburn resident Angela Wehnert – owner of Crescent Moon Gifts in Tacoma – has sponsored the event, encouraging fantasy enthusiasts to dress up in their finest fairy finery and enjoy a day with their peers. [ more FESTIVAL page 5 ]

Auburn High bond to be put on Nov. 6 ballot The Auburn School Board will place the $110 million Auburn High School modernization and reconstruction bond on the Nov. 6 ballot.

In the Feb. 14 special election, the bond measure came close but couldn’t quite muster the 60-percent

supermajority state law requires for bonds, finishing with 55.2 yes votes, 4.8 percentage points under the mark.

School officials say the 61-year-old high school is in disrepair and is no longer cost-effective to operate and maintain.

“People don’t know,” Herren said, “that Auburn High School is falling apart on the inside. … The bones

weren’t built to go over 60 years old.”

District officials say it is the right time for this project because school taxes will stay level. The district has refinanced previous bonds, saving taxpayers $3 million, and the bond debt for schools is at an all-time low.

Furthermore, district officials said, the project is eligible for $25 million in state matching funds.

Where a 60-percent supermajority was required for passage of the bond, the measure fell just short of even a simple majority, garnering 49.39 percent yes votes, (3,898), to 50.61 no votes (3,995) in the combined results of King and Pierce counties released just after 8 p.m. Tuesday.

To be considered a valid election, the measure required a minimum turnout of 6,060 registered voters. It got 7,893.

The measure was the culminating work and recommendation of the Arterial Streets Task Force.

Terry Davis, co-chair of the task force, called the results “just disappointing.”

RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Unkempt, weed wild, returning to nature, too many of Auburn’s landscape medians looked like crazy salads tossed in the middle of a street.

Councilwoman Sue Singer fretted it in the waning days of her last term of four in December, irked that she’d been making the upkeep plea for all of her 16 years in office, with so little to show for it.

Her message: an odd failing to have so many landscape medians gagging under scruff and scurf in a City so eager to attract business.

But things are getting better, Parks and Recreation Director Daryl Faber recently assured the City’s Municipal Services Committee.

“We got back on the plan that we had five years ago,” Faber said. “Honestly, (the medians) are looking really good. So we got back to that phase last year, and this will be our second year of that.

While I would say the appearance is not up to the par it was in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, it’s getting better again. This year it will be way better than last year.”

The difference between today and five years ago,

Faber noted, has been bodies, or, better, more of them.

In the throes of the economic downturn that began in 2008 and the two rounds of City layoffs that followed hard on it, Parks lost one of its full-time employees and all temporary employees who had tended the medians. Between 2009 and 2011, maintenance fell to the busy maintenance and operations department.

“The appearance did go down noticeably,” Faber said.

Last year parks added some temporary employees, with positive results, Faber said. At this time, the City is without a horticulturalist.

Not all landscape medians on the City’s list receive the same degree of care. From center areas to street beautification areas, some receive ground cover pruning and others get leaf removal.

“I think the biggest issue, from my perspective, is that the ones that are gateways into town are the ones we should really be proud of, and that’s where the energy should go,” Faber said.

Faber explained why the City does not contract out all the work.

“We do contract out the large ones,” Faber said.

“The three that came on late are all done by Brinkman Landscape Company.

So we contract those out, and it’s now our City crews doing the main ones – Lake Tapps, 277th and B Street.”

Committee members have been studying a complete list of city medians, deciding what level of care each should receive. The idea is also to decide which should get the most attention.

“I look at a list this long,” said Councilwoman Largo Wales, “and I think maybe we should have 10, and maybe the others we should do something that requires no maintenance other than what a street cleaner would do, put the bang where the buck is and get rid of some of the others.

“I don’t know about getting rid of them,” Faber responded. “A lot of them are at a one-time-a-month level already, so if you didn’t do them at all, there would be blight.”

Committee members singled out for particular attention the train trestle on Auburn Way South, overgrown with rose of sharons and sticker bushes, and infamous for its ugliness. Once this growing season is over, Faber said, the City intends to pull out the vegetation.

“But if the people of Auburn don’t want their roads to be fixed and want to continue the patch-roof style, that’s what they’re telling me and the leadership that they want. It’s unfortunate, but it was a short window to get the message out. The bottom line is there’s no other money, and the problem’s only going to get worse.”

Nancy Wyatt, president and COO of the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, said she understands voter angst.

“Understanding the tough times we are in, I understand why people are not yet willing to invest in street repair,” Wyatt said.

“I would love to hear more from the citizens, though,

about how we are going to get the roads repaired. I still feel that the solution that was offered with the bond is the right direction to go, fair, equitable and truly gets to solving our problems.

“It’s not just trucks causing the damage, every single vehicle causes damage. We all use the roads, we are all interconnected.”

The Save Our Streets (SOS) Phase II – Keep Auburn Moving program built was on the voterapproved SOS local streets improvement plan, it aimed at ensuring that every dollar generated would be dedicated to specific road improvements and could not be spent on other general fund purposes.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ FESTIVAL from page 1 ] “This started as an event for my customers,” she said.

“I thought it’d be fun to throw a little fairy party for them.”

Wehnert said her expectations were modest at first.

She hosted the first event in the basement of Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, where her store was at the time.

“I thought it’d be a little party, but it turned into about 100 people the first year,” Wehnert said. “I thought, ‘Wow, there is something going on here.’

So I thought, ‘let’s make this an annual event.’”

The second festival drew more than 300 people, and the third attracted 500, Wehnert said.

After the third festival, she realized that the event had outgrown the basement.

“It just kept getting bigger,” she said.

Luckily, a phone call from college staff, offering rental of the Lindbloom Center, solved her space problems.

“I’m an Auburn girl, so it was close to home for me,” she said. “And it’s in between Seattle and Olympia and easy to get to.

They (Green River) want us here and are willing to work with us. We are going to keep growing, and we hope to make Auburn our home.”

Although the main purpose of the festival is simply to provide an opportunity for attendees to dress up – readily apparent from the myriad of colorful fantasy

came to support the musicians on the bill, including S.J. Tucker, Alexander James Adams and Tricky Pixie.

“I’ve followed many of them around the country,” he said. “It’s kind of bluesy, Celtic folk, just really great stuff. I’ve seen SJ Tucker in 11 different states and Vancouver B.C. I saw her last in Boston. She’s come to expect me to show up in the damnedest places.”

Although Chiaviello works during the week in an office as an administrative assistant, his real

passion is volunteering as a roadie for the musical acts.

“The office work isn’t important, I’d rather be identified as a volunteer roadie,” he said.

At the core of the event’s appeal, however, is the opportunity for participants to lay aside their regular, stress-filled, modern lives for a moment, and enjoy a little magic.

“I can’t speak for everybody, but I suspect that a lot of people feel the same as me,” Chiaviello said. “The world is a better place to live

in if there is magic. This is a chance to see magic in the world and get together and see it all at once, together.”

Wehnert agreed.

“I’ve always found that people are stressed out, they are paying bills, working nine-to-five, and they need a release,” Wehnert said.

“They need an outlet, and I think it’s a way to connect with the inner child and go back to the days when you didn’t have to pay bills, you weren’t stuck in traffic, and you could just come and play and enjoy yourself.”

costumes – Wehnert said it’s also about supporting local artists and vendors.

“We’re focused on music and dance and art, so we try to showcase local talent, handmade items and just support people in the community,” she said.

Talia Baker – dressed as the fairy Cynder for the event – and her daughter, Vinita Allen, drove all the way from Yelm to attend the event.

“For me it’s an opportunity to do something different out of the mundane day-to-day,” Baker said. “I get to dress up in something fabulous. I get to play and do some wonderful shopping. And hang out with other people who like to be adventurous and strike out from the norm.”

The festival is the second for Seattle resident El-

len Heath-Ulmer and her 10-year-old daughter, Shyan Ulmer, who dressed for the event and competed in the costume contest.

“We were trying to find something to do as a family, and so we went and checked it out and loved it,” HeathUlmer said. “It brought out all our creativity.

“The atmosphere is amazing. Everybody brings out their costumes, and nobody looks at you funny,” she continued. “Unless you’re on the freeway and they see you in the car, driving in costume.”

Her daughter agreed: “I just like dressing like a fairy because it’s fun, and I get to use my imagination,” Ulmer said. “It’s just fun to go and be a fairy.”

For some it’s about the music.

murder for killing Adrian Wilson, 16. The sentence range was 204 to 304 months.

Court officials, concerned that a large number of family members for both the shooter and the victim would appear in court to witness last week’s sentencing and that there might be some conflict during the victim impact statements, arranged for King County Sheriffs officers to stand by inside the facility, while Kent officers took charge of the exterior security. The hearing went without incident.

Auburn Police Detective Michelle Vojir’s account explained happened on that fatal day.

On May 22, 2011, 911 received multiple reports of shots fired at the Aspen Meadows Apartments at 402 21st St. SE. Police responded and found young Wilson dead on the ground in front of apartment No. 45.

Witnesses told police that Wilson and his family had been attending a community barbecue that afternoon in the common area of the complex.

Shortly before the shooting, Corey Branham, who lived in apartment No. 42, showed up with Mills, who was armed. After a few minutes, Adrian Wilson confronted Mills about the weapon. He was walking toward Mills when Mills pulled out the weapon and fired, hitting Wilson once in the head Branham told police he then ran into his apartment, and, when he looked out a short time later, saw people surrounding the fallen Wilson.

Medics later transported two other young

men, Steven Chehey and Robert Carro-Aguilar, to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening gunshot wounds, according to the police account.

They survived.

Branham and other witnesses identified Mills as the person who had fired the fatal shot, and police began to search for him, according to the police account.

Between 5 p.m., May 22 and 10 p.m., May 23, Auburn Police Department officers and detectives followed leads to track down Mills.

At about 10 p.m., May 23, two officers arrived at the apartment of Mills’ mother in Kent and watched as a thin, black female wearing sunglasses approached the door and knocked. When officers walked up to the female, she removed her purse, sunglasses and wig. When officers realized that it was Mills, they arrested him.

Mills later told officers that he had brought the gun to the apartment complex to protect his girlfriend’s mother. He told officers that the woman had issues with Adrian’s father, Gabriel Wilson, whom Mills called “a bully.” Mills told police, according to the account, that he had thought Wilson’s group was trying to provoke a fight by hosting the barbecue directly outside the woman’s apartment.

According to the police account, Mills said he had known that there was going to be trouble when he set out that afternoon, but that had not stopped him.

Vojir then asked Mills why, if he knew there was going to be trouble, he didn’t just leave.

“I’m not gonna run away from my problems,”

Mills responded, according to the police account.

“I’m not getting punked, not gonna intimidate me.

I’m gonna stay right there and do what I planned to do.”

According to the police account, Mills told police that when Adrian Wilson and his brother walked up to him and started calling him names, he pulled the gun out of his waistband and fired two shots.

Mills said he then ran away, ending up at his brother’s house.

Wilson died of a single gunshot wound, which had entered his chin and lodged in his spinal cord, according to the King County Medical Examiner.

According to the police account, Mills is a documented member of the Marvin Gangster Crips, an established criminal street gang, and Gabriel Wilson is a documented member of the Nortenos, a criminal street gang based in northern California.

There is no known rivalry between the Nortenos and the Marvin Gangster Crips, Vojir wrote, but “beefs,” she noted, often result from direct contact and confrontations between gangs.

“The presence of gang members of unrelated gangs set together in one place is a volatile situation requiring the members to adequately represent themselves before their peers. This situation would normally lead to gang member arming themselves before expected contact with members of the other gang set,” Vojir wrote.

Mills was convicted in 2010 as a juvenile of second-degree assault and second-degree robbery.

He is also a beloved husband, doting dad, hands-on teacher and self-made businessman.

Auburn’s Thomas Schneider admits he is wired differently, but his disciplined, regimented past as a good soldier, specialist, recruiter and trainer has led him to believe he can move mountains and change the course of those living unhealthy lifestyles.

When he left behind a 20-year career in the U.S. Army – including duty in war-torn Afghanistan – Schneider decided to take the battle back home. Today he leads the fight against fat, training Everyday Joes to become G.I. Joes. He urges them to follow efficient, customized physical fitness routines and select smart menu choices at the dinner table.

“I grew up in the projects in Seattle and grew up on government cheese,” he said, “and everybody needs a helping hand once in awhile. I’ve always been that person who wanted to help people, and fitness, athletics, sports have been a part of my life.”

Combing his military, health and fitness and business experience, Schneider came up with an idea to run his own mobile brigade – Mad Dog Boot Camp Fitness – which deploys to outdoor playgrounds and gyms in Auburn. [ more KLAAS page 9 ]

Now that the fog has lifted from the three special sessions in November/December, March and April, and the regular legislative session that ran Jan. 9 to March 8, I’d like to offer my thoughts on the final operating budget and government reforms passed this year.

On Feb. 17, House Republicans offered the first balanced budget solution during the 2012 regular session. Our budget funded education first, in a separate budget, then prioritized services for the most vulnerable and public safety. We made tough decisions, but if we want to get our budget under control, programs we cannot afford today or tomorrow need to be reformed or eliminated.

While minority House Republican budget solutions were rejected by the majority party, I believed that in the absence of a House or Senate Democratic budget, it was important

Auburn Reporter ‘spinning’ letters, showing bias I’m not writing to debate the merits of “Save Our Streets.”

I am writing to critique your paper’s pandering and obvious attempt to “sell” SOS to your readers.

In the April 13 letters to the editor section, the letters chosen to be published were 4 to 1 in favor of a yes vote, including the two-page opinion of Mr. Klaas who elaborated in detail upon selling the bond issue.

Are you saying that the letters were coming in at a 4-to-1 (yes-to-no) ratio? I don’t think so.

The headings chosen for the published letters were all “soft sell closes.” “Time is now …”, “Let’s fix …”, “Keep Auburn moving ….” Even the one vote no letter was given the soft sell heading of “Some streets never repaired.”

It was obvious the vote no letter (by Becky) was strategically placed by the Auburn Reporter to be last in the order of letters. Obvious, because if the reader is skimming the biased titles for content, why bother to read one more that “appears favorable to the cause,” or does the stamina of the reader come into play?

In these times, we have enough carnival barkers touting their sideshows. “Talking heads” everywhere. Am I wrong or isn’t it enough that the print media print the facts objectively without “spinning or selling” some preordained agenda?

Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes.

Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically.

By “spinning” the letters to the editor with your bias, you do not give the reader a voice as much as giving you a forum with a means to stack and spin the letters according to your agenda. It serves only to define you as a “spinner”, or in this case, SOSS! – John H. Yorke, Sr.

from 22nd to 28th and M to U street. Soon there will not be any streets left. The asphalt is cracked and coming apart.

We have sink holes under the asphalt.

We have asked multiple times when, only to be lied to by the City. Our property values have gone down because of the way the City has let the streets fall apart.

Let’s build some more downtown or build more parks, so the mayor can say, “Look at what I have done.”

Auburn should have been taking care of business for years, and they would not have had this problem in so many areas of the City.

As far as me voting for you to repair streets that are driven mostly by people that don’t even live in Auburn, I don’t think so.

– Steve Martin

Why should we pay Focus on students, for worn roads? not a new building I am another one who has been told that the streets in my neighborhood would be redone by the mayor the year after the election, only to find out he does not know what he is talking about.

Once he was elected, I called to find out what the timing would be for them to start repairs and new streets, only to have him come back and say that our neighborhood was not even in the budget or on the list to be redone for some time.

If you want to see some streets that are in need of repair badly, look at the streets

I have walked through Auburn High School many times in the past few years and do not understand why the building needs to be replaced. It is warm, dry and very functional.

Student performance is going down at Auburn High School, and it has nothing to do with the building.

Would fewer classroom hours for students improve their performance? That is exactly what the Auburn School District did by making most Mondays a PLC (parent-led [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

[8] April 20, 2012 [ LETTERS from page 7 ] conference) day, which has all the students miss one hour of instruction on those days (about four days per school year).

There is now talk of the Auburn School District doing away with letter grades and replacing them with “power standards,” which is another way to obscure low performance. This grading system punishes highperforming students and does a disservice to those students planning to attend a four-year college.

Maybe instead of running focus groups on how to squeeze out another few hundred votes to replace the Auburn High School building, the Auburn School District should be running focus groups on how to improve student performance.

Let’s reexamine red light cameras In response to Stephen M. Sward’s letter (“Red lights are warranted,”

www.auburn-reporter.com April 6, Auburn Reporter), how could a rational person be in such blind support of such a questionable issue as red light cameras?

Yes, an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) report from 2011 showed that the cameras reduced fatal accidents from red light running by 24 percent. However, since many other studies have shown much smaller drops or even increases in accidents, maybe they deserve a second look. In fact, nine states prohibit them, and a Florida judge just ruled them unconstitutional.

Considering the opposition shown nationally and locally, I, for one, think it is showing great awareness and community support by addressing the red light camera issue by this City Council person.

The real question is: are the Auburn red light cameras saving lives or just creating an unknown amount of money for our city to use however they want because law-abiding, honest citizens like you and I don’t ask questions?

– Kaitlin Wolter

Drivers need to respect pedestrians’ rights I realize that many people are in a hurry to get to where they are going, but I really wish drivers would stop and realize that we pedestrians out there have places to go as well.

I have had many close calls with people who run red lights or turn against traffic while I am walking in the crosswalk. It is quite unnerving.

While recently crossing M Street Southeast and Auburn Way South, I was halfway through the crosswalk with a green light and a “walk” signal supporting me. But this lady in her big truck attached to a horse trailer turned right onto M Street Southeast from Auburn Way South, almost running me over while driving nonstop. She had the nerve to keep driving and honk at me as if I was in her way. She proceeded to yell at me still as if I was in the wrong.

I really wish people would remember the rules of the road and the rules

PLAY, LEARN, CONNECT

that pertain to pedestrians. I would love to make a rule where drivers are required to retake the written and driving exams every 10 years so their skills are refreshed, or at least have drivers who violate pedestrians’ rights to take a course in pedestrian safety.

As a pedestrian, all I can do is be careful and look both ways before crossing.

But it is also the responsibility of the drivers to mind their driving skills and be courteous of those walking about.

What if I was a child, or pushing a baby in a stroller?

Was she going to just run us over?

– Laura Hyatt

Speed camera is a moneymaker As one of those out-oftown “criminals,” I would like to share my own opinion.

People living in areas allowing them to bypass the “unfriendly streets” of Auburn, go out of their way to do so.

I suspect the cameras at the stop lights are catching more honest citizens than “criminals” and “scofflaws.”

There are studies showing the cameras actually cause more accidents (Los Angeles and Texas). You

can get studies to prove anything. I think Auburn obtained the studies justifying the cameras.

Were they actual Auburn experiences?

The speed camera at Chinook Elementary School, however, serves only one purpose: it collects money.

There is no justification other than that.

The school crosswalk is 357 feet from the road (state RCWs require this to be within 300 feet before a city can impose the 20mph speed limit). There are no crosswalks on State Route 164 where the 20mph speed limit is camera enforced. The playground is 360 feet from the building and is surrounded by a 6-foot high chain link fence.

We have sent four of our children through Chinook Elementary (pre camera) – all unscathed – and several grandkids. Teachers would have to “herd” their students the 350 feet up the side road to put them in harm’s way.

Each camera costs the City a minimum of $4,870 per month, increasing at increments of $1,000 depending on the number of citations issued.

“More than Than You Imagined?” You bet.

Coastal Farm & Ranches to open in May Coastal Farm & Ranch has finalized the purchase of the former Walmart building next to the SuperMall in Auburn, company officials announced last week.

Renovation is more than halfway completed, with a soft opening tentatively scheduled for late May, company officials said.

Coastal, which operates 10 stores throughout Washington and Oregon, is one of the largest farm and ranch companies in the Pacific Northwest. Nearby stores include Mount Vernon, Wenatchee and Yakima.

Coastal employs more than 400 people and will employ approximately 40 additional people in the new Auburn location.

Coastal is accepting job applications, which can be obtained by visiting the careers page at coastalfarm. com and then sent to jobs@coastalfarm.com.

When the House and Senate Democratic budgets finally appeared, there were serious flaws, including pushing $330 million in delay of payments to schools, which ultimately would have led to a $2 billion deficit in the next biennium’s budget.

The good news is that, in a rare development, a bipartisan coalition formed in the state Senate. This philosophical majority forced the debate on how we responsibly reform government to address long-term fiscal stability and balance the budget within reasonable tax collection expectations.

several much-needed, long-overdue government reforms, including: • Senate Bill 6378: is a pension reform policy that only applies to newly-hired employees beginning in 2013. The state’s pension system is among the biggest cost-drivers in state government. This reform is expected to save public employers and taxpayers approximately $1.3 billion over the next 25 years.

• Senate Bill 6636: This legislation requires budgets to balance across four years, meaning the current two-year cycle plus the next two years, before they are adopted. This requirement, thought to be the first of its kind in the nation, will force legislators to consider the long-term costs of their spending choices. This practice will stop budget writers from using gim-

micks, such as the delayed school payment Democrats proposed, to balance the current budget by pushing the problem to the next two-year budget.

While my seat mates, Rep. Pat Sullivan and Sen. Joe Fain, and I supported these reforms, I could not support the final budget.

The budget that passed was far better than the starting product, but tough choices were not made to reform programs that continue to make our budgets unsustainable.

Ariana Kukors aims for Olympic gold Auburn swimmer hopes to represent U.S. in Olympics

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

It’s only been four years, but 2008 seems like a lifetime ago for Ariana Kukors.

At the time the Auburn Mountainview graduate was 19 years old and just launching her international swimming career. Although already accomplished at the national level, Kukors had yet to make her presence felt on the world stage.

At the 2008 U.S. Olympic Swim trials in Omaha, Neb., she narrowly missed qualifying for the Beijing Olympics, having finished third by a fraction of a second in the 200-meter individual medley.

This June, however, Kukors gets another crack at qualifying to represent her country, this time at the 2012 London Olympics.

“I feel much better prepared this time around than I did in 2008,” Kukors said.

“I think I was trying to convince myself of something that I wanted to achieve in 2008, and I wasn’t quite sure I was ready for it yet, even

cific championship meets.

In 2009, Kukors set a world record in the 200 IM at the World Championships in Rome, posting a blistering 2 minute, 6.15 second finish.

But not without controversy.

At the meet, Kukors, along with several other swimmers, wore full body polyurethane suits made by Italian swimwear manufacturer Jaked. The suits allegedly helped with buoyancy, allowing swimmers to float higher in the water, leading to less resistance and faster times. In 2010 the sports governing body, FINA, banned the suits.

“It was something I’ve dreamed of achieving my whole life,” Kukors said.

“Unfortunately, the controversy of the suits came with that, so I have mixed feelings about it. I’m happy that the suits are in the past Ariana Kukors poses for a promo shot.

“It was a really great move for me,” Kukors said. “I know I have all the training I need. The months before the Olympics are really about fine tuning things and making sure mentally you’re in a good place. So I thought this move would help me stay relaxed and provide a great environment for me to be in.”

With her schooling out of the way, Kukors said she’s fully focused on her training, spending three-to-five hours every day in the pool, followed by an hour-and-a-half of weightlifting and an hour of pilates, both three times a week. She runs four miles

Raven girls hoop coach resigns

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Riverside girls basketball head coach Terry Johnson has stepped down, the school announced yesterday.

“Ultimately, I just felt it was the right time,” Johnson wrote in an e-mail to the Auburn Reporter. “I think we are leaving the program in a very good place, and I know the girls will be really successful next season.”

Johnson took the helm of the Raven program in 2009, replacing interim coach Ed every other day, too, “for no other purpose than I like to run.”

“I’m also big on recovery, and I think that’s helped with injuries over my career,” Kukors added. “I get a massage every Friday. And I take care of myself nutritionally.”

In 2008, Kukors had the luxury of the support of her older sister, Emily Kukors and younger sister, Mattie Kukors, both of whom competed at the U.S. Olympic swim trials.

Although Emily, along with her father, Peter Kukors, and mother, Jaapje Kukors, will be in the stands, only Mattie – who attends and competes

Business Sale During Divorce Client: How do I sell my business during the dissolution? Do I need my wife's approval?

Attorney: Usually, during the divorce proceedings, the court will "freeze" assets and debts, including property or businesses. That is, the court will not permit a party to sell or dispose of an asset. The reason is because the family law court wants to preserve assets for trial or settlement. If parties were allowed to sell off assets and use the money, there would be nothing left to divide up at the divorce and one party likely will not be happy about any premature sale of assets, including businesses. If the sale of a business is an emergency, then you can often ask the family law court on a temporary calendar to get permission and require both parties (husband and wife) to sign off on the purchase and sale agreement, but it is an uphill battle. The court wants to make a fair and equitable division of all property in a divorce, and therefore, the court likely will require the business be evaluated by a CPA before permitting its sale.

Last season, McAllister led the Lions to the South Puget Sound League 3A title.

“She is a 4.0 student and was on two of our academic state championship teams (2008 and 2009),” said Auburn Mountainview soccer coach Cary Davidson. “She grew into a great leader and was extremely coachable, just a joy to be around. Mac is the best shot stopper I’ve ever coached. I’ve never

seen a better youth (penalty kick) stopper, either male or female.

“She is leaving quite a big pair of shoes to fill, but West Point is gaining one of our state’s best kids.”

According to Deana Waintraub, West Point assistant coach, McAllister’s maturity on and off the pitch helped lead to her appointment.

“She’s a remarkable cadet in the way she carries herself. She’s very mature and forward thinking. Those attributes all attracted us,” Waintraub said. “As for her soccer ability as a goalkeeper, she’s good technically and a great shot stopper.”

Artist brings film to life through his work

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.con

The news that film photography is dead has yet to reach the ears of Zachary Kolden.

As proof of the continued vibrancy of the art, Kolden – a darkroom photo technician at Green River Community College – offers his display of black and white, silver gelatin prints currently on exhibit at the Auburn City Hall Gallery until the end of the month.

“People say film is dead, but it’s really not,” said Kolden, 29. “It’s just a smaller niche market now.”

Kolden, a native of Eau Claire, Wis., got his start in photography while still in middle school.

“We did pinhole stuff and I really enjoyed it,” he said. “But it wasn’t until college that I really found my niche in photography.”

While attending the University of Wisconsin Stout in Menomonie, Wis., Kolden said he fell in love with the darkroom and the art of film.

“I started at the transition from film to digital,” Kolden said. “So we had to do film, and I just remember falling in love with seeing the image come up and the chemistry involved. Just that tactile, hands-on presence really held strong with me. I think

I’m just a person that gravitates toward the handmade. I just love it. I actually spend more time in the dark room than on any other assignments because I really enjoy it.

“Digital has its own thing, a look and feel,” he continued.

“But film really makes you slow down when you photograph, which gives you time to think about what you’re photographing as opposed to just pointing and shooting.”

Kolden’s well-thought-out approach and painstaking, darkroom mastery are evident in his City Hall exhibit, which features images he took in Scotland.

“This body of work deals with impermanence and change,” he said. “Lately my work has been about impermanence and change.

I believe that nothing in this world is ever permanent, and we’re always in this constant state of change. I could walk down that hall, go outside, come back and I’m not the same person.”

Kolden said he took 37 rolls of photographs in Scotland, focusing on the ruins, landscapes and cemeteries to illustrate the central theme of his exhibit.

Among his subjects were the ruins of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Fife, Scotland, which was built in 1158.

City Hall Gallery: Zachary Kolden displays photos of the Scottish landmarks he used to illustrate his overriding theme of impermanence.

SHAWN SKAGer, Auburn Reporter

“If it was still a standing cathedral, it would be the oldest in Scotland,” Kolden said. “When you look at a place like that you can just feel the amount of history and change that has gone on.”

Kolden said he’ll continue to work in film on his next series, but this time he’ll shoot in color.

“I’m actually doing a project on Tacoma entitled ‘City of Destiny,’” Kolden said. “It will be color, urban landscape stuff. I’m still

shooting with a medium format camera, but I’m doing color this time to try something new. I’ve been doing black and white for a really long time now, so I think it’s time to expand a little bit. It’s a different way of seeing.”

And it’s a vision that he is more than happy to see continuing with the younger generation of students he helps at Green River.

“Believe it or not, these younger kids think (film is) cool because

In addition, the District proposes to add approximately 17 new parking stalls to the site for a total of 77. Landscape improvements and new site lighting will supplement existing parking lot and bus drop-off improvements.

Stormwater control and treatment facilities will be provided throughout the developed portion of the site. New parking areas will discharge to the existing storm system while a portion of the existing parking surface will be routed to a new biofiltration swale for stormwater quality treatment.

A new stormwater conveyance system will be installed to route stormwater runoff to these new storm facilities.

LEAD AGENCY: Auburn School District No. 408 Note: Issuance of this threshold determination does not constitute approval of the permit. This proposal will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable King County codes, which regulate development activities.

The lead agency for this proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c).

This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for

15 days from the date below.

it’s old and they want to get into it,” he said. “There are five film classes offered, and they’re all full with 25 kids each. So it’s really good to see 125 kids into it. I’m happy there is still an interest.”

Kolden’s exhibit, along with the art of Thendara Kida-Gee, are on display at the Auburn City Hall Gallery until April 30. The gallery, at 25 W. Main St., is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and admission is free.

GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN? While even most vegetarians get enough protein from the food they eat, some seniors do not get enough protein in their diets to counter the effects of age-related muscle loss. It may be that they eat less or they experience difficulty chewing protein sources such as meat. In any case, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein for adults is 0.8 grams daily for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight, which translates into 56 grams of protein for someone weighing 154 pounds.

Unfortunately, it is estimated that 40 percent of individuals over the age of 70 do not get that much protein. If so, seniors should make concerted efforts to drink protein shakes or eat protein-rich foods.

PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY is pleased to present you with interesting and informative topics.

Mental and physical activities as well as a proper diet are critical to assisting seniors achieve and maintain their “personal best”.

We strive to provide a positive, stimulating and healthy environment for our senior residents. To learn more about us, reach us today at (253) 9391332. You are invited to tour our unique senior community at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been serving seniors since 1972. Learn how we earned our superior reputation.

P.S. Some research suggests that protein eaten at midday is best for muscle metabolism.
