Suspected exhibitionist snagged in Mexico By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
A Seattle man busted last spring for felony indecent exposure in the Supermall parking lot in Auburn was arrested by police June 21 in Mexico on a US fugitive warrant for rape,
indecent exposure and lewd conduct. Kenneth Libke, 56, who has a long criminal record for indecent exposure and lewd conduct in US cities, was picked up on the streets of San Felipe, Mexico at 12:55 p.m., according to the online site, La Voz de la frontera.
Libke had been seven times convicted of indecent exposure-related crimes prior to his arrest in the Supermall parking lot on June 2, 2011. King County Prosecutor’s Spokesman Dan Donohoe said Libke failed [ more fugitive page 8 ]

To audible gasps and tears from Josh Deraitus’ family, a King County Superior Court judge found Justin McLeod not guilty Monday of all charges related to a road-rage shooting in Federal Way two years ago that cost Deraitus his left eye. “The issue of this case and the evidence that must be viewed through the lens of the law is identity,” Judge Hollis Hill said in her decision. “Does the admissable evidence establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Or does the admissable evidence leave room for one, or several reasonable doubts of the truth of the charge that
this man, Justin McLeod committed this crime?” Prosecutors accused McLeod of shooting Deraitus in a road-rage incident at South 304th Street and Military Road South in Federal Way on Jan. 2, 2010. Deraitus, a 30-yearold Auburn man, said he was on his way to pick up his 4-year-old son when he inadvertenly cut off a black luxury sedan near Military Road South and South 288th Street. The car tailgated him for a couple of miles, trying to pass him on the left and the right on the two-lane road. At a redlight at South 304th Street, Deraitus said, the car pulled [ more verdict page 9 ]

Former Olympian, WNBA player Jones to appear in Auburn on the Fourth Reporter Staff
Marion Jones, former Olympian and world champion track and field athlete, is expected to make a special appearance at Auburn’s Fourth of July Festival. Jones will sign autographs in the Overcomer Covenant Church’s booth at 11 a.m. to noon and 2:30-3:30 p.m. at Les Gove Park, 1005 12th St. SE. The church is sponsoring the Freedom Stage that will present a lineup of live entertainment. One of the world’s the most celebrated athletes,

I ask for your immediate resignation.” After the meeting Sun downplayed the demands. “Those are the same people that ask me to resign every meeting I go to,” he said. “The same exact people. They want people to know they disapprove of my policies and my approach to the City government. Now let’s put it straight. I was voted in on a write-in. And the people were disgusted with the corruption that was going on. I came in and started cleaning up corruption. “I admit that I’m moving too fast, as to my knowledge of the Washington code and the City code. When I get to know them, I’ll backtrack and approach it the right way. I wouldn’t say lawful, but the right way,” Sun said. Most of the rancor centers on Sun’s controversial personnel decisions, which have punched gaping holes in the City’s staff roster. Since Sun took office, five of the City’s six department managers have quit or Sun has fired them.
Jones declined a spot on the U.S. Olympic Relay Team as a high school student, instead accepting a basketball scholarship and attending the University of North Carolina. Jones led the Tar Heels to the 1994 NCAA title and graduated with a degree in broadcast-journalism. She immediately returned to the track and, as a member of Team USA, won gold medals in the 1997 World Championships. After defending her 100-meter title at the 1999 World Championships, Jones went on to win five
medals, three gold and two bronze medals at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. In 2003, the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury drafted Jones in the third round. For years Marion Jones after her triumphs in the 2000 Olympics, allegations that Jones used performance enhancing drugs persisted. Finally, in October 2007, Jones admitted that despite never test-
The sixth, City Clerk and Personnel Manager Jane Montgomery, is on a leave-of-absence after filing a whistleblower complaint and an anti-harassment suit on June 11. Montgomery claims that Sun locked her out of her office in retaliation for blowing the whistle on his controversial personnel decisions. She says she acted out of fear that Sun’s decisions would put the City at risk, financially and legally. Not true, Sun said. “The reason I locked it was that I didn’t want any documents to be removed,” Sun said. Despite criticism of his management style and his decisions since taking office, Sun said he was confident he was carrying out the people’s will. “I was voted in to do what I’m doing right now,” Sun said after the meeting. “I’m doing what the voter has voted me in for.”
ALSO: The rotating door at Pacific City Hall continued to spin this week with the news of Sgt. Jim Pickett’s resignation as the acting police chief and Sun’s termination of the contract with City Attorney Kenyon Luce. Luce was given 30days notice... The council met in executive session with the City’s insurance carrier, Canfield Associates, to address concerns about potential litigation stemming from events that have occurred within the city in the last month, including an “investigation into the whistle blower protection violation,” Luce said. He added that there was also concern about some criminal conduct allegations. Both instances require action by the City, but according to Luce, the insurance carrier has no plans to cancel its contract with Pacific at this time.
ing positive, she had lied to federal investigators and, had in fact used performance enhancing drugs. As a result of her confession, Jones was sentenced and served six months in federal prison for lying to federal investigators. Jones voluntarily returned her five Olympic medals and publicly apologized to her family, friends and fans. Jones’ book, “On the Right Track” (Simon & Schuster), demonstrates how she has committed her life to inspiring others who face life-challenging situations. As a public speaker and author, Jones candidly,

articulately and passionately shares her life story. In March 2010, after being away from the game of basketball for 13 years, at the age of 34, Jones signed with the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock. After a success-

For me, every Fourth of July is special. As far back as I can remember, and more so than with any other holiday, I’ve looked forward to celebrating the day our country declared independence from England. Unencumbered by any obligations, like buying gifts, the Fourth has always been simple. And in my hectic, complicated world, just being able to spend a day doing nothing except eating barbecue, drinking beer, blowing stuff up and watching baseball is a rare gift. This year, however, the Fourth of July has an added significance. This year my dad, John Skager, will be posthumously inducted into the Mandan, N.D. American Legion Baseball Hall of Fame. I grew up a Navy brat, courtesy of my dad’s 26-year career in the United States Navy. Although many of the Fourths in my youth were spent in far flung, exotic locales such as Greece, Australia and Utah, whenever we could, we returned to North Dakota – where I was born and my parents grew up – to spend the holiday with relatives. Now, I’ve heard many people brag about how good the Fourth of July celebrations in their hometowns are, and I’ve experienced a few as well. But let me tell you here and now — all of them pale in comparison to a Mandan Fourth. Typically, the festivities start around 10 a.m. with the Main Street Parade, followed by a host of activities such as the rodeo, the demolition derby, music in the park or just chilling with the cousins in a backyard, drinking beer and barbecuing. Paramount among the festivities, however, is the American Legion baseball double-header at the Legion Memorial Ball Park. In my extended family, baseball is like [ more SKAGER page 7 ]

Beware: a cat's bite can be dangerous I live in a wooded area by Lake Tapps within a stones throw of Auburn, and I thought this would be a concern to Auburnites and anyone who loves animals, particularly cats. There is a “neighborhood” cat that several neighbors feed, and one has taken the cat to get its shots. However, it is not licensed. The cat recently ambled up my driveway as it often does, got to me and rubbed up against my legs several times and rolled over on its back, then back to its feet. I stroked the cat gently. On the last stroke, before I could react, the cat was on my forearm and hand like a mountain lion on a crippled deer, biting and scratching. I have 20 punctures and two bad bites.

Ways to keep education as the great equalizer During his term as Washington’s governor, Gary Locke’s mantra was “education is the great equalizer.” Locke, now the U.S. Ambassador to China, was correct, but in our country, today education is becoming the great separator. Here’s the problem. First, far too many students drop
out of high school – nearly 7,000 each day. That adds up to about 1.2 million students a year who don’t graduate with their peers. The consequences are clear. Forbes reports that in 2009, the average high school dropout made $19,540 a year, 40 percent less than their classmates who graduate. The deficit continues into the work-

Due to the severity of the infection that I contracted, cellulitis, often referred to as “blood poisoning,” the doctor at the medical clinic and my attending doctor at Auburn Regional recommended that I contact Pierce County Animal Control to report this incident.

Lastly, we are failing to meet the growing demand for graduates skilled in math and science. Increasingly, jobs require skilled workers proficient in math and science, but a distressing 40 percent of students entering science, technology, engineering and mathematics tracks in college leave their programs in the first year. These disciplines require time, discipline and hard work to master, and it is difficult to find teachers skilled in those subjects. Too often, teachers who have mastered math and science leave public education for better jobs in business and industry.

a religion, ranking somewhere near the top with God, country and family. My grandfather, Melvin Skager, was a gifted semi-pro catcher, who played for the semi-pro Mandan Trainers after his return from fighting in World War II. My father kept up the family tradition in high school, winning two North Dakota state titles as the catcher for the Mandan Braves in the 1960s. According to my cousin, Michael Kaip, a manager for the current incarnation of the Braves, my dad still holds the record for being the youngest player to make the varsity squad, at 14. Although I never got to see him play baseball, I was lucky enough to have been the bat boy for my dad’s fastpitch team in the ’70s. Gifted with a rocket arm with a short release, courtesy of the time he spent behind the plate, my dad was legendary
for his ability to gun down ambitious baserunners from his spot in right field. In addition to his raw talent on the diamond, dad was also notorious for the way he played the game — all out, all the time. Giving it his all, that was his approach to life. He passed that template on to me, and even though he’s gone now, it guides me still. Baseball was also important for dad and me in my rebellious teen years. As we struggled to communicate with each other over simple things, baseball always provided common ground, especially talking about how the Minnesota Twins were doing. This past year, just a couple months after dad died from esophageal cancer, I got the chance to spend another Fourth of July in Mandan. It was everything I remembered. But the high point for me was talking with many of my dad’s high school friends while we
were out at the ball park. Being able to see my dad through their eyes, as they shared stories with me, was crucial to my grieving process. Just little glimpses, like an e-mail received from Bruce Toman, who played high school football with my dad, mean so much as I continue to deal with the loss of my dad. “Your dad was not a giant guy then, but he was one tough guy, and he had a heart to match,” Toman wrote. “What he lacked in size he doubled in courage and sheer guts.” It pleases me no end to know that other people saw the same guy that I saw, the man who was, and always will be, my hero. This Fourth of July, I’ll once again get to celebrate in my home state of North Dakota. But this time I’ll be celebrating more than a a holiday. I’ll be celebrating my father, John Skager. It’s going to be the best Fourth ever.

One solution is to pay math and science teachers higher salaries to keep them in education. Another is to teach teachers how to teach math and science. As a college freshman, my trigonometry instructor was an exceptional teacher. She could sense when students were not keeping pace and would provide extra help after class. If the whole class had a problem, she would stop, go back and review the material. As a sophomore, my professor had mastered calculus, but he was a poor teacher. He just went through the motions, moving forward regardless of whether we understood it. If we are to realize Gov. Locke’s goal of making education the great equalizer, we need to keep students in school, ensure they master their subjects before moving on, and find (and reward) teachers who can effectively teach the math and science skills students need to succeed in today’s high-tech world.

In the meantime another security officer found a second witness. This second witness later told police that during the course of the previous six months he had seen the same man cruising the parking lot, as though searching for something. That something the witness believed to have been women, whom the man would drive toward before slowing his vehicle. The witness wrote down the Jeep’s license plate number, and according to Weller’s account, he later positively identified Libke from a photo montage. Libke has a long history of sexual crimes, including convictions for public indecency at the Alderwood Mall parking lot in Lynnwood.in 2010, lewd conduct in 1993 and 1997, and indecent exposure in 1980, 1981, 2002 and 2006.

to appear for his Aug. 4, 2011 arraignment on the Auburn charge, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. “We know he is in US custody now in Imperial County, Calif,” Donohoe said. “We should know early next week about the status of his extradition to Washington.” According to Auburn Police Detective Anna Weller’s certification for determination of probable cause – the basis for the charge in the Auburn case – a mall security officer had been monitoring a surveillance video feed of the parking lot at 12:15 p.m. that day when she spotted a grey Jeep suspiciously parked outside of the Nordstrom Rack. The man at the wheel seemed nervous, as though he were preparing to shoplift,
the officer said. The officer trained the camera on the Jeep as it moved to the front of the store then zoomed in for a closer look. Through the windshield she saw a man in the driver’s seat, right arm and hand pumping up and down in a highly suspicious manner. At this point according to Weller’s account, a person walked past the Jeep, the vehicle moved forward and then turned, giving the officer a clear view into the front passenger compartment. There sat a man, naked from the waist down. The officer told police she nearly threw up at that point but pulled herself together, according to Weller’s account. Concerned that others might see what she had witnessed through the Jeep’s untinted windows, she called police.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ verdict from page 1] into the lane on the passenger side of his truck. “I looked because I wanted to see the guy who was tailgating me, and as I looked, he pulled up slow,” he said. “The first glimpse I got of him, he already had the gun out. He didn’t say anything or try to scare me with the pistol or flash the gun. He just fired one shot and basically hit me right between the eyes.” The bullet smashed through the passenger window of the truck and hit
Deraitus in the face, taking his left eye. Doctors would need more than half a dozen surgeries to rebuild his nose and face. “This is a case about that man’s suffering, Josh Deraitus brought upon him by a heartless, vicious, complete stranger, who evidently did not think for a moment or two about caus-
ing such harm, for no reason whatsoever,” Hill said in her verdict. “This is a deeply disturbing story.” According to Hill, however, there just wasn’t enough evidence to convict McLeod. Chief among her reasons was her belief that Deraitus didn’t get a long enough look at his shooter at the time of the crime, and that too much time – eight months – had elapsed between the shooting and Deraitus’ positive identification of McCleod. Hill said this, coupled with a lack of details in the victim’s
initial description given to police, was enough to “raise doubts as to the accuracy of the identification.” Hill also found reasonable doubt with the connection between McLeod and the black sedan used in the crime, as well as with the .40 caliber shell casing found at the scene. “So through the lens of law which this court is sworn to uphold, that is to require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, this court finds the defendant not guilty,” Hill said.

For the past 12 years, success has eluded the Auburn Little League 12U fastpitch program. According to coach Perry Azevedo, who helmed the league’s 15-1 Lady Huskies team this season, 2001 was the last time a team from Auburn won the District 10 Tournament of Champions (TOC). That drought ended this year, however, as the Lady Huskies romped through the competition at the TOC, winning the tourney with a perfect record and averaging an impressive 17 runs per game. Although the season is over for the Lady Huskies, seven members of the squad begin play with the Auburn/ Kent Fastpitch All-Stars this weekend at Brannan Park, as they vie for a district title. “Our group has won districts at their level the last two years in a row,” Azevedo said. “So we’ve set the bar pretty high.

Spend a magical family night under the stars at Mary Olson Farm By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Folks at the White River Valley Museum are calling the midsummer night’s event at Mary Olson Farm event “Farm Snooze.” But don’t let the name fool you. Because long before any boys or girls or their moms and pops let a single lid droop or cut a single z, they’re sure to tucker themselves out with good ole’-fashioned campout activities, like scavenger hunts, field games and a wienie and marshmallow roast. So come, families, pitch a tent and spend a fabulous, unforgettable, magical night under the stars, from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m., July 21 and 22 at the Mary Olson Farm just north of the Auburn Golf Course on Green River Road.
“This is the first time we’ve done anything like this at the farm,” said Rachel Burrum, curator of education at WRVM. “We’re trying to have a family campout where families can get together and have a safe place for a camping experience.” REI will provide free gear rental for those in need. “If you don’t have a tent or a sleeping pad, we can make that happen,” Burrum said. “We’re also working with Green Trails Maps, which is going to provide a little lesson in hiking and orienteering, that is, showing kids how to use a compass if they are lost and how to navigate the woods.” All families are welcome. The cost is $25 per individual camper, and $20 per camper for groups of six or more.
Children under age 4 get in free. Register online at: http:// wrvmuseum.org farm_and_ museum_overnights.html. Please check the museum’s website for details. Porta potties will be provided on site. Parking is available in the farm parking lot just north of
the entrance. The setting for all this fun is the best preserved historic subsistence farm in King County and a county landmark with its own listing on the National Register of Historic Places. There’s lots to see, from an 1897 barn, a fully

Fifth annual Rockstar Mayhem Festival slams into White River Amphitheatre July 3 By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
On July 3 the fifth-annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival roars again into Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre, bringing a host of metal’s biggest acts to provide the backing music for the area’s headbanging faithful. Among the bands poised to rock the socks off this year’s lucky ticket-holders are behemoths Slayer, Slipknot and Mötorhead on the main stage, as well as support acts As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria, Upon a Burning Body, Betraying the Martyrs, I the Breather and Dirtfedd.
Also featured on this year’s lineup are thrash metal titans Anthrax, who will anchor the second stage with a 45-minute headlining set. The tour marks a return for the thrash metal innovators, who formed in 1981 and recently released their 10th album “Worship Music.” “We’ve done some big tours, with (Iron) Maiden, with Ozzy, with (Judas) Priest. We did plenty of cool tours,” he said. “We did Clash of the Titans (with Slayer, Megadeth and Alice in Chains). But nothing like this. It should be very interesting. This event is a great thing to be a part of. You’re reaching a large amount of people and getting that ex-

played it before. But that thrill never goes away no matter how many times you do that.” For The Devil Wears Prada, another up and coming metal band that recently released a live CD/DVD “Dead&Alive”, this year’s Mayhem Festival marks its first time on the tour. “We’re very excited about Mayhem, we’ve been talking about wanting to do it for the last three years,” said guitarist and singer Jeremy DePoyster. “It’s exciting because there are so many people that wouldn’t normally come to a club show just to see you. So they get a chance to see you.” Tickets and information about this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival are available online at www. rockstarmayhemfest.com.

In 2009 the band – hot on the heels of the release of their second album “This is Exile” – played the Hot Topic Stage at the Mayhem Festival. “That was the defining moment of whether we were going to fall off the face of the Earth or survive,” Bozeman

said. “That was the biggest exposure we had. You can go over good with 500 people in a room, but the true test is in front of thousands, where 80 or 90-percent don’t even know who you are. It’s by far one of the best ways for an up-and-coming band to get notoriety and recognition. I don’t know anything else that can beat that.” With much of their success owed to their appearance on the 2009 edition of the tour, Bozeman said they jumped at a chance to play Mayhem again. “It’s great, the atmosphere is just crazy,” he said. “There is so many people. It’s what bands strive for. It’s a party. Playing for 10,000-plus people. That’s what Mayhem is all about, we know, we’ve
