City opts to outsource court services to County rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

More than 200 people crowded the City Council Chamber on Monday night to argue against a City plan to contract out Auburn’s court services to King County District Court.

No, said opponents, mingling humor with cool arguments, exasperation, anger, and even applause, they didn’t want it. They preferred to keep local control over the court.

More was at stake than saving money, they said.

A refrain of sorts even developed.

Why? “The Auburn Municipal Court can provide (a minimal services court). It can provide that service for $255,000 less than what the County can provide,” said Municipal Court

To keep these things from happening, the City must fill a number of critical, but now vacant, positions, including public works director, City engineer and building inspector.

Sun laid out his plan to forge an inter-local agreement with the City of Auburn to use its employees for those critical services. [ more PACIFIC page 3 ]

Dear Neighbor,

Most folks know about my career in police work and by representing you in the Legislature, but my first job was as a logger.

When Enumclaw unveiled the logging memorial in June of 2008, this picture of me speaking at the dedication ceremony ran on the front page of the local paper. Although it was fun to put on my old logging clothes for the event and talk to the old-timers, it’s also who I am and where I am from.

As a young man, I started my own logging company and quickly learned the value of a hard day’s work. I came to understand how important small local businesses are to our local economy. They always have been and always will be our economic backbone. I also understand this because my wife April is a small business owner here in Enumclaw as the owner of April’s Pet Salon.

That is why I am working to help local small businesses create jobs here at home, by keeping regulation and program costs down. I am also working to stop the outsourcing of jobs overseas and to bring jobs back home to America for Americans.

Committee to recall Mayor Cy Sun gets rolling in city of Pacific Reporter Staff

With the formation this week of the Committee to Recall Cy Sun, the effort to remove Pacific’s controversial mayor from office began to roll in earnest.

Now the organization

[ PARK from page 1 ] after presenting the results of her field survey recently to the Auburn Planning and Community Development Committee.

“We’re trying to bring in ideas about new business sustainability and bring in green aesthetics, which is the application of sustainability in a creative way, to Auburn,” Gonskey said.

Gonskey, 23, an Arizona State University graduate student in architecture, surveyed 50 residents, ages 30 and up, who came into the City’s Planning Department this past spring while she was an undergraduate student at Washington State University.

Gonskey divided her respondents into people who knew about the EPD and those who didn’t.

Here is some of what she learned: • Fifty-six percent of the people surveyed want more manufacturing in the Auburn Environmental Park District, but 14 percent of

needs to raise $15,000.

The committee seeks $5,000 to retain attorneys Tom Oldfield and Jeff Helsdon, who will represent the committee in the campaign.

In 2011, Helsdon and Oldfield represented the Committee to Recall Dale Washam, the those want only sustainable businesses there.

Gonskey said people told her they believed mixed-use zoning would be appropriate in the park district because it would provide direct application to the idea of a manufacturing village “and how we, under one roof, under one site, could place a variety of appealing functions.”

Gonskey conceded that the manufacturing question perhaps scared many people into saying no, because they “saw manufacturing and industry as something that’s ugly, and this project is about aesthetics and bringing beauty here.”

• Fourteen-percent said they wanted more small businesses to shop within the district, the same sorts of businesses found in the downtown.

• Ten percent supported residential areas in the district Gonskey also asked whether the size of buildings depicted in student designs submitted last year

and on display for those being surveyed to see were appropriate to the AEP District.

“A lot of it was split, 5050, with people pointing at different posters to say what they liked the most.

They saw the advantages of taller buildings with smaller buildings footprints, larger landscaping areas. People also worried that taller buildings would block views of nature and the area.”

A popular, “more Auburnesque alternative” Gonskey said, was a complex of scattered buildings but of minimal height.

Gonskey said the toughest question was how buildings with green aesthetics would improve the quality of life in Auburn.

“It’s a loaded question and very hard to answer…

I had a range of answers.

A lot of people were very positive about green aesthetics improving the quality of life in Auburn.

They thought of it as bringing in new jobs and making the city more attractive. In

The committee must also collect more than 405 signatures, or 35 percent of the people who voted in last year’s Pacific mayoral election to qualify for the ballot.

In November 2011, 1,175 people voted in the mayor race. my opinion, I don’t think there was a wrong answer to this question. The problem people had with green aesthetics related to cost and they wanted to know and see where their dollars would be spent. I think that’s realistic.”

Councilman Rich Wagner said what surprised him most about Gonskey’s findings was that people didn’t give a clear answer as to whether they felt that residential development mingling with manufacturing in the AEP District would be a good idea.

“Do people want to live in a manufacturing district?

Maybe they don’t,” Wagner said.

“I’m getting that same thing,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “I was talking to some of the developers around here, and it kept coming back to me, ‘what you want doesn’t mean anything; it’s only what the market will bear.’ The reality is, unless it’s something really upscale, like a Microsoft-type thing, people don’t want to live there.”

his doubts about the plan’s feasibility.

“I’m somewhat skeptical of his proposed reorganization,” Putnam said. “Of course, he hasn’t given us enough details yet to know.”

Putnam added that as far as he knew, negotiations with Auburn to use their employees haven’t even started yet.

“I’m skeptical that we can actually outsource it for less than we pay for it ourselves.

We have lower taxes and pay scale than most of the surrounding cities already,” Putnam said.

Despite his concerns about the mayor’s plans as they stand, Putnam said he wasn’t opposed to working with the mayor and finding a way to close the rift between council and mayor so the City can find solutions to its insurance crisis.

“Whether I like his solution or not, if it will work to keep the insurance, that has to be our primary concern right now,” he said. “Keeping the City going past Dec. 31 is a growing concern. This isn’t about personalities.”

Although lacking details and hard numbers at this time, Sun said his plan would outsource services such as planner, engineer, public works and building inspection to Auburn employees.

Sun said he expected his plan would cost the City about $100,000 a year, as opposed to the $340,000 he claims it costs the City to pay its own employees in those positions.

“For instance, the building inspector, I might not use them for two weeks,” Sun said, “then when I see the need for him, I will call them up to work. The logic of it is that he’s not on the payroll, eight hours a day, 40 hours a week, for the whole month.

He only comes when I need him.”

In addition, Sun said he plans to roll the treasurer and City clerk/personnel director jobs into one position to further cut costs to the City.

Council member Joshua Putnam, along with fellow Council member Gary Hulsey, listened to what Sun had to say but said he has

July 8 Shoplifting: 9:13 p.m., 762 Supermall Drive SW. A man’s excuse for shoplifting — that he didn’t actually have any money to pay for the items he’d tried to pocket — failed to sway hard-nosed officers, who issued the allegedly out-of-pockets thief a citation, and a warning to stay away from the Walmart before letting him go.

You do represent those citizens. You know in your heart of hearts that that’s what the people of this community want.”

But more than an hour of pleadings from all sorts of people couldn’t sway the Council. By a vote of sixto-one, council members decided to dump the City’s 16-year-old municipal court and its locally-elected judge in favor of the less expensive alternative.

Councilman John Partridge, moments before voting against contracting out services, asked his peers for a year to study the issue.

No, said Councilman Rich Wagner, after many meetings on the subject, “we have enough information to make a decision.”

The only ones to speak in favor of the contract were King County District Court representatives and council members explaining what they were about to do before they did it.

Councilman John Holman said the current system is too expensive, and that in lean times, contracting with the King County District Court would save

Frank Lonergan, an Auburn businessman, told the City Council that outsourcing the Municipal Court to King Country will prove harmful in the long run. ROBERT WHALE, Reporter the City money that it could use to keep other services going.

Holman also rejected an argument that the court was responsible for a decline in the crime rate in recent years, noting that the crime rate has dipped in other Puget Sound cities as well.

Councilwoman Nancy Backus joined other council members in asserting that the decision had not been made on the fly but only after hard study.

“This was not an easy decision,” Backus said.

“We have reviewed reams and reams of information,” said Councilman Bill Peloza. “This has been a difficult task.”

Opponents said all along that contracting with the

King County District Court would mean living with a less effective court, a machine-like system tooled to process offenders quickly and return them to the streets without much thought to giving them the help they need to change.

Auburn resident Robert Hamilton asked the Council to delay any decision for two weeks so residents could learn more about what was going on.

“The plan will cost the City of Auburn and its residents $250,000 more dollars per year and result in the layoffs of 18 to 21 employees,” Hamilton said.

“I have just one question.

Since we know the plan obviously isn’t going to save money, what’s really going

on here? Please explain to all of us the real reasons you are supporting the county proposal. Produce the facts to support your position.”

Auburn business owner Mark Silberling wondered about a baffling “rush to judgement.”

“This Council spent more time talking about a farmer’s market than it has deciding the fate of a situation that will effect every member of the community,” Silberling said. “You’ve managed to fund your annex next door, the Promenade, the golf course, the theater, but you can’t find a way to fund the court?”

Auburn Attorney Kim Hunter, who in her practice has had extensive dealings with the Auburn Municipal Court, praised the probation department for its work with offenders.

“I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: you can’t put a price on public safety,” Hunter said. “The community has to come first.

The accountability in the Auburn Municipal Court is exceptional. I’ve had numerous defendants, too many to count, who have been monitored by probation and are thus held accountable for their actions and receive the valuable help that they need.”

Locksmith Frank Lonergan asked the Council to

consider the outcomes of its various dealings with King County.

“It may look good up front, but in the long run it’s going to hurt the City,” Lonergan said. “Think about it: do you want to feel good when you go to bed tonight because you saved us a nickel (and) in two weeks you wake up and find that now it’s going to cost us $5,000, $10,000, $20,000?

The price is not always what you look at. You look at what you get for your money. We have a good product. Keep it in town, please.”

Burns also had asked the Council to consider some of his own less costly alternatives, including a “minimal services” court.

“Frankly, it doesn’t make sense to me,” Burns said.

“I’ve been a part of City government for 26 years.

I’ve worked to make things better for our community.

I’ve always been cooperative with the executive and legislative branches, and I don’t see anything here that we can’t sit down and talk about and reach a satisfactory resolution.”

King County will have to set up its court system in Auburn, but the City has not yet determined an exact timetable for that.

... Healthy Living Why dieting is not the key to losing weight

New studio offers total package

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.cm

Having experienced a personal transformation to better health and wellness, Tracy and Joe Knutson decided to take it one step further.

The couple recently opened a group-exercise gym in Auburn to help others in their quest to get fit.

Together with co-owners Joshua and Marissa

Hughes, the Knutsons forged The Champions Edge, a training studio geared toward trifecta training – exercise, food planning and supplementation – to improve the lives of others, young and old, from all walks.

“We went through it ourselves … our own health journey,” said Tracy Knutson, who has discovered a rewarding second career as a certi-

fied personal trainer and bodybuilder. “We changed our own health first, and because we were able to do it and become physically fit and in better shape than what we’ve ever been in our lives, we wanted to be able to help others go through that same journey.”

With a healthy diet, it comes down to having a balance of proper food calories (energy from food sources) to maintain a healthy weight or body fat for your current age and height. To get the right balanced percentages of daily nutrients (carbs 50-60 percent, proteins 15-20 percent and fats 20-35 percent, along with other essential vitamins, minerals, water, and fiber) to make up the majority of your food calories, you have to know what these nutrients are and the foods they come from as follows: 1.

When you hear the word “diet,” do you run and hide?

Do you feel uncomfortable?

Do you avoid that upcoming school reunion?

We’ve all felt like that at one point or another.

Whether it’s the media, family or friends, we are constantly reminded of our weight, how we should look, and begin thinking about ways to diet to lose that excess weight or body fat.

Many think losing weight is about some miracle in a bottle, because that’s what the supplement industry wants us to believe. The fact is the solution to losing weight has always been around and comes down to three simple facets – healthy diet, resistance training and cardiovascular exercise.

very clearly do not want to lose local control.” – Municipal Court Judge Patrick Burns, on the City’s decision to outsource court services to King County.

Taking a stand for big change When Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen stirred controversy in April by criticizing Ann Romney – wife of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney – for having “never worked a day in her life,” she fired up one stay-at-home mom from Auburn.

So much in fact that she launched a national campaign in support of the Romney camp.

“There comes a time when you have to get off the fence, figure out where you stand and get on board,” said Sharon Renee’, a wife and mother to three daughters.

Renee’, 53, is the founder of Concerned Moms and Dads of America, which she created out of the vision to see conservative, Christian values return to the country.

Renee’ stays politically active, moved by social issues.

To strengthen her mission, Renee’ went a step further, registering the all-volunteer organization as a Super PAC with the Federal Election Commission. The group is seeking donations, swaying votes and actively recruiting volunteers to organize rallies throughout the country.

For Renee’, it has been a daunting challenge to galvanize a force.

“To win this election, people have to get involved,” she said. “Has it been tough getting hundreds, thousands of volunteers? We don’t have those yet, but that doesn’t deter us. We just need people to step up and get involved, even in Auburn.”

Renee’ has Rosen to thank in part for triggering the cause.

When Rosen said Romney shouldn’t turn to his wife for advice on women’s issues and the economy, she ignited a “Mommy Wars” firestorm.

Renee’ chose to stay home to raise three girls. Ann Romney raised five now-grown sons.

In spite of the controversy about the roles

Public assistance program broken I am sure that we all can agree that the public assistance program in Washington State is broken. There are a number of people abusing the system (if you have doubts, go to the grocery store and watch the person in line to pay with food stamps talking on their iPhone).

Some states have taken steps to curb this abuse and been challenged in court. Let’s make drug tests mandatory to receive assistance. If you aren’t doing anything wrong, what is the problem with providing a sample? I believe that the public that is providing the tax revenue from which this assistance comes has a right to an assurance it isn’t being wasted.

For Washington, let's take it a step further. If you are receiving assistance and you get convicted for a criminal act, your assistance is cut off retro-

Hanging on to a piece of Americana kendejan@sammamish-reporter.com

Not a summer has passed without at least one trip to my hometown.

Sure, I drop by and say “hi” to the family, but I also go with the intent of visiting one of America’s endangered species – the drive-in movie theater.

I’ll continue the tradition this weekend when I head to Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox. I just hope it’s not the last time.

As one of Washington’s six remaining outdoor theaters, the establishment is facing extinction in a few months if it doesn’t come up with $80,000 to upgrade to a digital projector. All theaters are required to make the change before January

My hometown theater charges just $6.50 for adults, or $1 for kids, for, get this, two first-run films.

Good luck finding a single matinee price in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area anywhere close to that.

Drive-ins also eliminate many of the headaches that come with traditional theaters. My personal favorite, nobody can come one minute before the movie starts and ask you to move over.

If someone is being loud, you’d never know because everyone is blasting the exact same thing through their car stereos. As for the guy kicking your seat, well, that problem can be easily solved.

With just two weeks and one race left before the Albert Lee Cup, Aug. 3-5 at SeaFair in Seattle, H1 Unlimited hydroplane driver Dave Villwock is on top in the driver’s high points standings.

Villwock, an Auburn resident, leads Steve David 3,650 to 3,185 in the high points race.

Last weekend Villwock snagged his 10th Gold Cup in Detroit, piloting the U-1 Spirit of Qatar 96 boat past David in the finals. The win was also Villwock’s fifth-straight Gold Cup victory.

“It feels great to get into double digits,” Villwock told The Detroit News after the win. “It’s an unbelievable [ more hydros page 13 ]

Majestics 12U earns berth at nationals

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

It’s been a heck of a ride for the Washington Majestics 12U girls fastpitch club team.

Since beginning the tournament season way back in the cold and gloom of February, the Auburnbased squad has forged a hot streak that has led it to a ASA Washington State title and spot in the ASA 12U National Championships, July 30-Aug. 5 in Moline, Ill. For head coach Steve Vandegrift, the team’s success comes as no surprise.

“These girls are very athletic and play multiple positions,” Vandegrift said.

“Their athleticism and their

drive and dedication has shown this season.”

Originally formed three years ago as the Acers 10U squad, Vandegrift said, the team decided to break from the Acers and start its own organization this season.

“We just felt it (the Acers organization) didn’t fit the way our girls worked,” he said.

After the 2011 summer tourney season, the team began play as the Majestics in fall ball. It wasn’t until February, however, that the team began the real climb to the top of the Washington State fastpitch heap.

“Our first tournament was in the snow,” Vandegrift said.

Despite the frigid condi-

tions, the Majestics won their first tourney, a portent of things to come for the squad.

During the next few months the team played in numerous tournaments, posting a 59-11 record in six months, with most of its losses coming at tourneys where the squad opted up to play against 14U teams.

Along the way the team grabbed several tourney titles, including the ASA Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan championship, where the Majestics went 5-0. At the ASA 12U Washington State tournament on July 9 the team added another title to its list of accomplishments. [ more majestics page 13 ]

Derby winner saddles up at Emerald Downs Mario Gutierrez signs an autograph for Allison and Gianna Mazukelli. Gutierrez, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes astride I’ll Have Another, rode in five races at Emerald Downs last Sunday, winning one and coming in third in both the $50,000 Seattle Slew Handicap and the Kent Handicap. Gutierrez also managed to find time to sign an estimated 1,200 autographs. “It’s been so nice to be back at Emerald Downs,” Gutierrez said.

[ majestics from page 12] “Even though we had success in the past, this was the first time we’ve been able to play in the state tournament,” Vandegrift said. “Before, you weren’t able to play in both the Seattle-Tacoma Metro Championships and the state championships.

Metros were for teams from this area, where state was for the rest of the state.”

The key to the team’s success this year has been the versatility and depth of the squad, Vandegrift said.

“Madelyn Carlson is our No. 1 pitcher and our third baseman,” Vandegrift said.

“And we have two other girls that get circle time, Maddy Besaw and Jen Kistner. It’s nice having three pitchers. They’re all serviceable, they all get in and get innings, and when you play late on a Sunday, that’s good. The deeper you go in the weekend the more innings you play. So it definitely helps.”

Offensively the team looks to leadoff hitter and second baseman Megan

Vandegrift, as well as Natalie Joyner, an outfielder who hits clean up.

“It’s hard to single these kids out because they’ve all done well,” she said.

Also key has been the team’s togetherness, Vandegrift said.

“They get along amazingly well,” he said. “It is a special group.”

The Majestics will get a chance to find out how special they are when they square off against the best 12U fastpitch teams in the country at the ASA Nationals.

“There are supposed to be more than 100 teams there,” Vandegrift said.

Currently, the team is looking to raise money for their trip to the nationals, which Vandegrift said will cost the team about $30,000.

In order to pay for all the players to go back, they are fundraising and hosting a raffle for luxury-seat tickets to a Seattle Seahawks game this season.

For more information visit the team’s Web site at www.washingtonmajestics.com.

We just had to run the boat off of (Lane) 3 to get out front and we did, so it was great.”

Villwock also edged out David on July 7 to capture first place at the Madison Regatta in Indiana.

Villwock, who won the high points race last year, is the sport’s winningest driver. Last year he surpassed legends Bill Muncey (62 wins) and Chip Hanauer (61).

ful for inflammation.

3. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) – just in case, for an allergic reaction.

4. Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate (bismuth subsalicylate), or Imodium (loperamide) – use for unexpected diarrhea.

5. Tums – for an upset stomach, or heartburn.

6. Cortaid (topical hydrocortisone cream) – helpful for skin irritation or rash.

7. Dulcolax – stool softener for constipation.

For those individuals on prescription medication, here are four important travel tips: 1. Always take a full prescription bottle of your medication with you (at least 30 tablets), just in case you are

DOC FOR ALL

Preparing to leave for a summer vacation? Be sure to prepare for the unexpected.

Nobody likes to go on vacation only for it to be spoiled by unexpected diarrhea, a cold, rash or injury.

Therefore, always pack the basic over-the-counter medications, so you are not left scrambling to locate a drug store while camping in a national park, driving in a desolate location, or struggling to communicate your needs in a foreign country.

stranded or delayed.

2. Always place your medication in your carry-on luggage, not in checked luggage. Why? Luggage may be temporarily lost, or stolen.

3. Never purchase prescription medication in Mexico. Why? The name on the package may not be what is contained inside. As a result, the product may be ineffective or unsafe.

4. Always keep medications in their original container or package. Do not mix medications.

Kenneth Dale Knight was called home on July 8, 2012. He was born November 6, 1921 in Montesano,WA to Rev. Nelson Thurman & Hattie Belle (Ray) Knight.

In 1944 he joined the Army and while home on leave from WWII met the love of his life, Cleo Johnson. They married on March 25, 1945 in Harrisburg, PA after a six week courtship. After being discharged from the Army the family settled in the Auburn area where Ken worked for several Auburn car dealerships before taking a position with the City of Auburn Maintenance & Operations facility, retiring in 1984.

Ken enjoyed retirement, traveling with family and spending winters in Yuma, AZ. He had a great sense of humor, a kind heart and overwhelming love for his family.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Cleo of Auburn, daughters Elaine (Al) Austin of Puyallup, Yvonne (Fred) Coffey of Yuma, Debbie Lamb (Scott) of Auburn and Pam Knight of Seattle. He also leaves behind 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren.

Ken has joined his parents, siblings and a great-grandson in heaven. His strong constitution and loyalty was like no other. We continued to learn from him even through his final days. There’s no way to measure this man or how much we will miss him. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend.

The family would like to express their love and gratitude to Dorothy Schlimmie of Dorothy’s Angel Haven along with caregivers Hannah, Henry and Grace for the amazing care, love and compassion they provided.

A memorial service has been scheduled for 1:30 pm Thursday, August 23 at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Group Health Foundation Hospice, PO Box 34015, Seattle, WA 98124-4015.

IS LONGEVITY IN THE GENES? At the heart of the “nature versus nurture” debate is the question: Which plays a greater role in determining how long a person will live, genes or healthy habits?

To find out, populations of people containing more than their share of centenarians have been interviewed. As it turns out, many of these 100-year-olds drank slightly more alcohol and exercised less than average. Yet, they still lived to be a ripe old age.

This has led experts to conclude that a person can indeed inherit genes that help him or her overcome unhealthy habits. On the other hand, those of us not so lucky to have been born with so called “longevity genes” should do all we can to lead healthy lives.

PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY hopes you found this topic to be interesting and informative.

Advances in medicine have helped assure that we will be living longer, more active lives.

We understand that our seniors’ needs can change - even overnight.

We treat our senior residents as individuals, and address their personal needs. To learn more, reach us today at (253) 939-1332. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting and tour of our senior community at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972. Our seniors are our #1 priority.

P.S. As a general rule, remaining active both physically and intellectually helps to promote longevity.
