The latest episode in the ongoing drama at Pacific City Hall played out July 19 as Cy Sun’s own police force busted the controversial mayor for trying to enter the sealed City Clerk's office.

Hours after Sun’s release, the King County Sheriff ’s department announced that it was investigating the mayor for destruction of City documents, at the request of Pacific City Council President Leanne Guier.

Sun, 82, was arrested about noon when he tried to enter the sealed office to move file

Feds shut down RYO tobacco shops “They’re (RYO Machines) just bagging it,” she said. “They’re spent financially.”

According to RYO Machines, which said it has sold more than 1,000 of the Filling Station machines, the company no longer provides support for them.

“We are disappointed in the recent legislative initiative to limit our business model and hope that many of you successfully transition into permitted manufacturers under the new law,” President Phil Accordino said in a statement on the company’s Web site.

Wood has already closed the doors at her Edgewood store.

Meanwhile, her Auburn location is barely getting by selling supplies for roll-your-own cigarettes.

“I’m doing $200 a day if I’m lucky here, just selling tubes, tobacco and little hand-rolling machines,” she said. “People are just doing the same thing I was doing with these little machines.”

Wood said there is talk of obtaining an injunction against the law, but without the financial backing of RYO Machines, she’s skeptical it can succeed.

For now, she’s focused on just trying to squeak by until her lease expires in October.

“I’m sitting with one building completely shut down and the other struggling,” Wood said. “I’m going downhill fast.”

A new federal law is extinguishing business for roll-your-own smoke shops throughout the state, including Jean Wood’s establishment in Auburn. REPORTER FILE PHOTO rettes. The reduced prices would come primarily from lower taxes, as the state taxes pipe tobacco at lower rates.

The idea that she could be on the verge of going out of business less than a year later was never part of Wood’s plan.

Yes, Wood said, there had been rumblings of possible challenges from big tobacco at the start, but she insists that the machine’s distributor, RYO Machines, LLC out of

Girard, Ohio, reassured her. Wood said RYO promised it would help back opposition to any regulations against the roll-your-own industry.

“We knew possibly something could happen,” she said. “But the distributors of the machines said they would fight anything (in court).”

Since the July 6 passage of the law designating RYO businesses as manufacturers, however, Wood said, she has been on her own.

Less than a year ago the RYO Filling Station cigarette rolling machines seemed to Jean Wood like golden tickets to financial stability.

Now, thanks to a recent federal law that has made it illegal for Wood to sell cigarettes rolled in the machines without a manufacturer’s license, the two $35,000 machines are useless hunks of metal.

“Nobody wants these machines now,” Wood said. “I’m sitting on about $200,000 worth of inventory I can’t do anything with.”

Wood said she and her husband used money from his pension fund to finance the opening of Butts Tobacco, with locations in Auburn and Edgewood.

The business model seemed simple, foolproof.

Centered on the RYO Filling Station machine – each capable of spitting out 200 cigarettes made from pipe tobacco and pre-made tubes in about 10 minutes – the roll-your-own machines offered smokers a way around the high cost of pre-made cigarettes, which typically cost about $70 a carton (200 cigarettes).

Paying anywhere from $21 to $35 for tobacco, tubes and machine rental, customers would use the machines to roll a carton of ciga-

The City of Auburn has a new addition to its website in an effort to help citizens with unkempt, abandoned properties in their neighborhoods.

Officially known as Mortgage Holder Owned Abandoned Properties, the webpage functions as a “Wall of Shame” to highlight the owners of abandoned properties in the city with contact information for the mortgage holders so that citizens can make phone calls, write a letter or send an email to encourage the mortgage holders to clean up the properties and keep them maintained.

Because of legal requirements, the City has to go through several steps to get action. The hope is that residents’ efforts may push these mortgage holders to respond faster to take action their properties.

By working together, residents and City staff can effectively respond to and minimize the damaging impacts of abandoned properties on neighborhoods.

For more information on a specific property, to report an abandoned property in your neighborhood, or to learn more about the City’s code compliance efforts, please contact the City of Auburn Permit Center at 253-931-3020 or by email at permitcenter@ auburnwa.gov.

Seattle man pleads not guilty in stabbing death of Auburn victim

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Marcus Frounfelter was arraigned July 19 and pleaded not guilty to a charge of second degree murder for the stabbing death of 23-year-old Roger Roberts of Auburn on July 2.

Frounfelter, 24, of Seattle is scheduled for a case setting hearing on Tuesday, July 31 at the King County Courthouse. Frounfelter allegedly stabbed Roberts as the Auburn man tried break up a fight in which Frounfelter was not involved.

According to the Auburn police affidavit of probable cause, which forms the basis of the single charge, Roberts had intervened to break up a fight between a man and woman and was preparing to return to a friend’s house across the street when Frounfelter allegedly stabbed the unarmed Roberts in the chest.

The King County Medical Examiner reported Roberts died of a single stab wound to the heart.

Frounfelter later told police that he had come outside because he had seen his youngest child in the street among the fighting adults. According to witnesses cited in the affidavit, however, none of Frounfelter’s children were outside at that time.

According to the affidavit, the series of events that led to Roberts death started

“We just can’t let anyone get in there right now,” Massey said before the arrest. “There is an ongoing investigation.”

Before his arrest, Sun declared that the files were crucial to the operation of the City.

“He’s following the attorney’s orders,” Sun said.

“He’s not following mine.

I’m supposed to be the boss.

All of the files are in there, locked up. We can’t move without them. The City is at a standstill right now.”

Sun, aided by a locksmith and several public works employees with hand trucks, tried to get into the office. After tearing off the police tape, Sun was handcuffed and transported to the Pacific Public Safety building, where he was

with a verbal argument between Frounfelter’s aunt and her live-in boyfriend in their home at 909 6th St. SE. When the fight became violent it spilled into the front yard and onto the street in front of their house.

A group of friends in a house across the street, including Roberts, were enjoying a get together when they heard the noise and ran out to break up the fight. According to court records, a man who lives in that house held the male side of the fighting couple down to make sure he wouldn’t hit anybody, while another man restrained the woman and one of her female acquaintances.

According to the affidavit, witnesses told police that the fighters had calmed down and the neighbors were walking home when Frounfelter emerged from the house. Just as the neighbor across the street reached his front yard, he turned back to urge his friends, including Roberts, to return with him.

Instead, he saw Roberts stumbling into the street.

According to the affidavit, the man thought at first that Roberts was having a heart attack, which would have been consistent with previous medical problems, he said, but he soon realized that Roberts had been stabbed. The man told police that he tried to stop the bleeding. He said he hadn’t seen the actual stabbing.

According to the affidavit, a female witness told police that after the fight was broken up she turned and saw Roberts lying in the street. When she realized he’d been stabbed, she turned to Frounfelter, whom she knew carried a knife.

According to the affidavit, the woman approached Frounfelter “who had wide eyes, and asked him, ‘what did you do?’ (She) stated that Frounfelter did not respond but looked down at his hands.”

Within minutes of receiving the 911 call, police caught up with Frounfelter in a car with several occupants inside several blocks away, a bloody folding knife still in his pocket, according to the affidavit. Asked if he had stabbed anybody, according to the affidavit, Frounfelter allegedly admitted to police that he had “but didn’t know who he stabbed.” According to the affidavit, he admitted also that the knife on his person was the one he had used to stab his victim.

According to the affidavit, Frounfelter allegedly admitted to detectives that he had about five to six beers and a couple of hits of marijuana before the fight.

He told detectives that he suffers from brain trauma, has undergone some 19 surgeries to correct the problem and has suffered a series of strokes.

placed in a holding cell.

After about 45 minutes Sun was released without being charged. He was also given an email from Luce explaining the decision to seal the office.

“I want to make you aware that I have instructed the police department to ensure the personnel records of the City are protected from loss or destruction,” Luce wrote. “I made this decision because there is an ongoing investigation, and there have been recent incidents of destruction of City records...”

The email added that, should Sun require files from the sealed office, “a copy will be made and it will be provided to you.

Please direct your request to the police department.”

After his release Sun

explained his actions at a news conference at City Hall. He said he had been trying to obtain “necessary files to run the City,” including those detailing job descriptions, possibly to fill vacancies as he reorganizes Pacific’s government.

Later July 19, King County Sheriff Steven Strachan confirmed that his department was investigating the mayor.

“I was reached by phone by the Pacific Council President Leanne Guier, who asked if she could request the King County Sheriff ’s office could become involved in an investigation of criminal wrongdoing involving members of the City of Pacific,” Strachan said. more story online… auburn-reporter.com

Officials expand AEP Phase 2 of the Auburn Environmental Park recently grew by more than 30 acres.

A recent transfer and exchange between the City of Auburn and the Washington State Department of Transportation of 48.24 acres west of State Route 167 and south of 15th Street Northwest caps two years of negotiations, and brings the total Phase 2 property to about 198 acres.

“Long time coming,” Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy told a recent meeting of the Planning and Community Development Committee.

According to City documentation, the WSDOT will keep some of the land for

future improvements to State Route 167.

As part of its acquisition, the WSDOT agreed to bear the cost to move a City sewer line now on Auburn’s property, at a present estimated price of about $2 million.

The fair market value of the 34.04 acres of state-owned land the City acquired is $680,000, and the fair market value of the City-owned property the state acquired is $789,700. Based on the higher land value of the City-owned property, the State agreed to pay Auburn $109,700 to make up the difference.

Auburn Riverside High School student Ashley Harrison, left, learns how to suture a wound on a pig’s foot during MultiCare’s ninth-annual Nurse Camp, which ran July 16-20 at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital.

Kroll said attending the camp and participating in the various opportunities offered has reconfirmed her career goals. She applied to participate in the camp because she is interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. There are not many opportunities at her school or in her community that offer real world experience. The camp gave her the opportunity to witness real medical procedures.

While she is not sure exactly what position she wants to have in the medical field, Kroll said she would like it to be in oncology.

“But the Nurse Camp really helped me solidify that that’s really what I want to do,” she said. “This is an amazing camp, such an amazing experience.”

For fellow Kentwood student Kate Kramer, going to Nurse Camp has changed her original goals. Initially, she wanted to become a physical therapist. But after job shadowing in the emergency room, Kramer said she wants to pursue a career as an emergency room nurse.

Pursuit continues to curb gang violence Last July, shots rang out and chaos ensued. It was a shocking wakeup call.

Gunshots were fired by several different people at a car show in Kent, just off of Pacific Highway, resulting in several serious injuries.

Almost a year has passed since that tragic day. Now, we would like to bring you up to date on the case, discuss the underlying root cause of

Case update Julia Patterson

www.auburn-reporter.com Last week’s poll results:

Auburn’s Nicole Kupfer is a source of strength – in more ways than one.

She helps kids every day as a therapeutic childcare worker for Childhaven in Auburn.

In the weight room and on the stage, the blossoming bodybuilder demands and gets the most from her diminutive self. “(You have) to have the will power and determination. … When I make up my mind to do it, I do it,” said Kupfer, 22, an Auburn High School and University of Washington Tacoma graduate, who competes as an amateur. “There is nothing that can make me stray from my diet or my training.”

For Kupfer, the best is yet to come.

As a relative newcomer to the sport, Kupfer has shown lots of promise. She took sixth in her class – those standing 5 foot 4 or shorter – at the Washington State Open in Auburn last year. From there, the 106-pound Kupfer topped her division (5-2 and under) in Vancouver, Wash., in March, then capped off the season in May by placing third out of 16 contestants (5-2 and under) in the Emerald Cup at Bellingham.

Now she’s determined to improve her physique – from muscle clarity to definition – and place higher for next season.

She plans to gear up for next spring’s Emerald Cup, then try her first national, perhaps the Junior USA competition in North Carolina.

If all goes well, she might decide to secure her card and debut professionally.

Preparing for meets is a long, challenging process.

“For my shows, we do a 12- or 16-week prep following a strict diet and training regiment,” said Kupfer. Her own weight fluctuates from 115 pounds in the offseason to a well-tapered 106 pounds when she hits the stage for poses and quarter-turns.

gang violence, and what we’re doing to help address it.

the members of this council are the “good old boys” of the former mayor and of the City of Pacific, and the presence of an outsider is anathema to them.

Or perhaps it could be that the mayor’s name is Cy Sun and his ethnicity is Asian? Well, I hope not. But it seems, from my point of view, that those could be the reasons.

Also, if the former administration officials of this city were really a fantastic team, as they claimed to be, how come they were voted out by the people of Pacific, and Cy Sun won the position? In fact, he even won it as a write-in candidate.

From what I heard there were rampant corruptions, inefficiencies, and that a “good old boy” system prevailed in the former administration.

And those were the reasons the people of Pacific needed to change their mayor.

Yet, they questioned Mayor [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

Root causes Arguably, there are many factors that lead young men and women to join criminal gangs. Evidence indicates that there is one thing that connects most, if not all the contributing factors – limited opportunities. [ more GUEST OP page 8 ]

Mayor, council sell out Auburn citizens Once again, we witness how well our elected officials listen to their constituents. On July 16, the City Council voted to do away with the Auburn Municipal Court in favor of another soon-to-bediscovered fiasco deal with King County, a decision that we the people may well find to be much

[ GUEST OP from page 7 ] Studies have shown that young people would not choose to engage in criminal behavior if more opportunities were available to them.

Young people who sense that they have a future and understand the door that they must pass through to get there do not join gangs.

Scarce opportunities diminish hope, leaving many young people to gain financially through illicit means.

There is no panacea for this growing South King County issue. We must all lend ourselves to this effort: law enforcement,

worse than we imagined.

City officials seem to be pushing anything that requires work out to others to handle, with a shout that it will save us money.

Soon they will have nothing to do in the city, and we will be paying for them to go to meetings on King County committees instead of tending to City business.

At the meeting, council members cried out about how difficult a choice it was and the many agonizing hours they listened to people about the court issue to come to their conclusion. They did everything they were supposed to do, except they did not listen to the people. If you have more than 200 people (as was reported) taking time out of their lives to come to a City Council meeting and let you know what they want you to do, it might just be your job to hear them and fulfill their wishes, instead of your own.

A few things I have learned in my short 50-plus years: • When you are hired (being

local government, schools, community and human services organizations, and the broader community.

Initiatives that extend opportunities and mentorship are effective and have a substantial return of investment. For example, programs that intervene early in a child’s life and prepare him for school result in gang violence prevention.

• When I by shoes, I buy a good pair instead of the cheap shoes they sell in box stores because they are better for my feet.

My point is that the cheapest prices are not necessarily the best product. Spending a little more for a better product is the better value. It was a choice that we the people tried to tell you we were willing to pay more for. But once again, you did not listen and you aren’t listening still.

help identify challenges in the classroom and provide an appropriate path for a high school diploma will keep kids from joining gangs.

Partnerships with community colleges and local businesses that expose young people to careers and enable them to be financially independent provide a sustainable alternative to selling drugs.

These are just some examples of the type of opportunities we must expand for our young people if we are realistically going to address gang violence.

upon reading the headline, “City opts to outsource court services to County” (Auburn Reporter, July 20). Then after reading the subsequent article, I was even more so.

For those of us who do not live on one of the hills or in a community with a gate, Judge Burns had always had our backs. Now, that safety net has been taken away from us with this short-sighted, foregone conclusion of a vote by the City Council.

Pat Burns has been a tireless public servant. He not only understands the community as a whole but has always had the best interest of its citizens as his number one priority – all without the political grandstanding like we see now.

Thank you to Councilman John Partridge for insightful consideration and the courage of your convictions in not succumbing to the current bullying mentality.

Referencing the ludicrous (if not corny) City motto, Imagine This: Mayor Pat Burns!

County response In the wake of the Kent shootings, area police chiefs, the King County Sheriff ’s Office and federal agencies immediately began meeting and working intensely together. The result has been the creation of a South King County Gang Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to reduce violence by pursuing and arresting the gang members.

But enforcement is just one approach to reducing gang violence. It is a widespread belief within the law enforcement community and in local government

Vote no on Prop 1 I urge everyone to vote no on Proposition No. 1 concerning the Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA). Do not give the VRFA another blank check for the next six years.

When created, the VRFA published it would raise our taxes by $60 per household. They did raise our taxes and used the money to build two brand new stations (and abandon one) and, execute a complete remodel of a third.

On top of that, the VRFA spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a ladder truck that requires someone to fly in from Germany to complete warranty work.

Surely, we do not need a repeat of those capital expenditures.

The authority was created because Auburn had raised the firefighters’ salaries so high that it was costing the city $1,000,000 more than it was collecting from the fire related taxes. It allowed [ more LETTERS page 9 ]

that we can’t “arrest our way out of this.” It takes a real commitment to prevention, intervention, and suppression efforts working along with appropriate and clear enforcement.

Also in response to the shootings, the King County Council funded targeted strategies aimed at gang prevention and intervention. One of the projects receiving funding is the South County Gang Project that works with gang involved youth helping them earn their high school diploma or GED and find jobs. This is a great example of a pro-

gram that expands options for young people, works with families to create better support, and partners with our schools to provide guidance and assistance.

Feeling safe in our communities is paramount.

Mountaineer, marathoner, mentor going strong at 66

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Archie Blakely is always up for a challenge.

Whether it’s the physical demands of climbing mountain peaks or running 26-mile marathons, the mental demands of helping special needs students as a para-educator at Auburn High School, or the challenge of coaching young Trojan athletes to give their all, Blakely is ready.

“Trying to get the best out of kids is a challenge,” he said. “If you can try and get them to pick up some of the learning, just one thing maybe, that’s good.”

Raised in Tacoma, Blakely, 66, graduated from Stadium High School in 1964. Although physically active growing up, Blakely said he wasn’t into organized sports.

After high school he enrolled at the University of Puget Sound, where he majored in history, with a minor in political science.

Just after his graduation from UPS in 1969, Blakely embarked on his first major physical challenge – ascending all 14,409 feet of Mount Rainier.

“I remember it well

because it was the same day we landed on the moon,” Blakely said. “After we came down, we listened to Neil Armstrong’s ‘one giant leap’ speech in the truck on the way home.”

The ascent was the beginning of a love affair that has taken him to Mount Rainier’s peak more than 10

times and pushed him up many other mountains in North America.

After graduating from UPS, Blakely said, he worked at Boeing, helping to build the 737 for awhile before finding his true calling as a case manager for the Washington Department of Social and Health

Services.

Eager to share his love of climbing, Blakely said, he turned many of the kids whose cases he was managing on to climbing.

In exchange, one of them turned Blakely on to marathon running.

“I started running with Randy Yoakum,” Blakely

Archie Blakely has run more than 100 marathons and climbed Mount Rainer more than 10 times.

Blakely is a para-educator with the Auburn School District. Shawn Skager, Auburn Reporter

said. “And I ran my first marathon in 1976 in Seaside, Ore.” It wouldn’t be his last. Although he said he’s lost the exact count, he estimates that he’s completed more than 100 marathons.

Not one to half step into anything, Blakely soon found a way to share his love of long distance running, helping Auburn track and cross country coach Joe Wilcox with the team.

When Wilcox decided to hang up his whistle in 1979, Blakely became the Trojan head cross country and track and field coach, positions he filled until the mid-90s.

Although team success eluded him for most of his coaching career, the 1985 cross country team did earn a berth at the state meet.

“I remember we had to run three times at Evergreen High School, for league and district meets,” Blakely said. “And I had two runners who were top five at districts, Bert Foderer and Chad Beard. We didn’t do that well as a team at state, because we weren’t that deep, though. You have to have five strong runners.”

It’s just two races into the Air National Guard H1 Unlimited Hydroplane series and things are looking good for U-1 Spirit of Qatar 96 driver Dave Villwock.

“So far so good,” said Villwock, a former Auburn resident. “We’re ahead in the points, so that’s pretty good.”

U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto, 3,650 to 3,185, in the high points race.

In this season’s first two races – the Indiana Governor’s Cup in Madison and the Gold Cup in Detroit – Villwock notched wins, bringing his all-time victory count to 67, the best in the sport.

Now it’s time for Villwock to prepare for the LambWeston Columbia Cup this weekend in the Tri-Cities, and the Seafair Albert Lee Cup Aug. 3-5 on Lake Washington.

“Seafair has the most attention, media wise,” he said. “It’s rough and demanding. And I’ve won it an awful lot. But my favorites are places like San Diego and the Tri-Cities.

The water is calmer, and I don’t get beat up as much.

Sometimes I feel a lot like a linebacker — you know you’re going to get hit, you just don’t know when.”

After Seafair, the H1 series wraps up stateside with an exhibition race on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho and the Bayfair in San Diego, both new stops on the circuit this year.

“It’s growing again,” Villwock said. “The competition is strong, it’s always been strong, but having the Air National Guard sponsoring and

For Blakely, however, it wasn’t about the official results; it was about interacting with the kids.

This season the Versus Network is televising every stop on the circuit.

The success marks a resurgence for the sport of hydroplane racing, which was struggling only a couple years ago.

Villwock credits international interest in the sport for much of that.

“We’ve got China interested now,” he said. “They want to do a race there next year.”

The H1 boats already have a presence overseas with the Oryx Cup World Championships, which wraps up the season on Nov. 8-10 in Doha, Qatar.

“You just start to sort of believe in the kids,” he said. “The challenge is trying to get the best out of the kids. Their limitations can’t frustrate you, you just have to walk away thinking that maybe you’ve accomplished something, that they’ve picked up some of the learning.”

“I’ll probably retire in the next couple of years, but right now I’m healthy, so I don’t mind coming to work every day,” he said.

Although his mountain climbing days are behind him, he still tries to lace up the sneakers and get

out for the occasional run, but nothing like the 6-7 miles he used to put in daily.

“I’ve gotten slower over the years, but so far I still can go out and run and not fall totally apart,” he said.

And he still challenges himself.

“I just did a 5K in Kent,” he said. “I will probably try to do some more in the fall.”

CIS working to replace what it had lost in fire

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Students must look their best when they meet folks at the annual Career Conference who might hire them.

That’s a no brainer. But the sad truth is that many Auburn families don’t have the money to provide their kids what they need to make the all-important first impression.

For years, Communities in Schools (CIS) of Auburn has helped kids in this dilemma, supplying them with suits and jackets and ties and dresses and shoes donated by the Auburn community.

By leveraging its clothing donations with cash, CIS can supply three adult-sized students with professional business attire for only $52.

But the arson fire that swept a self-storage unit on Auburn Way North on July 11 reduced the tennis shoes, jackets, books, toys, diapers, sweaters and ties to piles of ashes.

“We got out one week after the fire to see the actual damage for the first time,” said CIS Executive Director Arlene Pierini. “We are very near the epicenter.”

Last week the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce sent out a four alarm email on behalf of CIS. And in a very big way, the Auburn community responded.

“Since the information went out, there’s been an outpouring from the community, pledges in cash and pledges in donations and we are extremely grateful for that.

While the loss of items for students in need from the storage unit has caused us difficulty, support from our caring community will help us recover.”

Pierini knows that others who

The Treatment to open for KISS/Mötley Crüe Growing up in England, Matt Jones was a huge fan of American hard rock icons KISS and Mötley Crüe.

“I grew up with posters of both bands on my wall,” he said. “I had one of KISS and one of Mötley Crüe. I used to listen to them all the time.”

So when Jones, the lead singer for The Treatment, found out his band had been picked to open for KISS and Mötley Crüe on their 43-date summer tour – which swings into the White River Amphitheatre on Aug. 18 – he and his bandmates were thrilled.

“We were actually travelling back from another show in Europe, so we were all in the van together when we got the call,” he said. “We just started cheering and high-fiving each other. It was such a crazy moment. It was unreal.”

Formed in 2009 in Cambridge, England, The Treatment – which released its debut album “This

Might Hurt” this month – is a perfect fit for a tour featuring two bands that got their start in the 1970s (KISS) and the early 1980s (Mötley Crüe).

Although most of the lads in The Treatment aren’t even old enough to buy booze in the U.S., the band’s sound hearkens back to the hard-rock sounds of the 70s and 80s.

“We’ve all grown up listening to AC/DC, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, all of those classic bands,” Jones said. “I think it’s natural for us to play music that sounds like it’s from the 70s and 80s because our parents raised us listening to that kind of music. It’s natural for us.”

For Jones it’s all about the energy of the classic hard rock sound.

“Rock from those days had a kind of pureness and energy about it,” he said. “You can listen and picture the stories in your head. And when you watch it live, there is a raw energy about it. And that’s

what we try to do with our shows, we try to put as much fun and as much excitement into it as possible.”

Jones said they’ve tried to pack just as much fun and excitment into their debut album.

“We worked on it for a year,” he said.

Jones said band members fine tuned the songs on the album in their home studio before heading into Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris’ studio to finish the album.

“He’d actually come in when we were there and listen and give his seal of approval,” he said.

“That’s huge for us, being such big Maiden fans.”

The Treatment are hoping to get a seal of approval from U.S. fans on the tour as well.

“It’s huge, it’s massive exposure for us,” he said. “Every show is for 10,000 people or more. For us to come out to a place we’ve never been and play for that many people is fantastic for us.”

“Our thoughts are with those fire victims who lost irreplaceable items,” Pierini said.

Communities in school began in 1985 as the all-volunteer Auburn School Lunch Program. Its first mission was to ensure that kids at the middle school level, which did not then qualify to participate in the federal lunch program, would not go hungry.

Client: My question might not be family law, but it relates to my family. My neighbor is harassing me, including throwing debris/garbage in my yard, his trees hang over into my yard, and I caught his wife throwing animal poop over my fence into my yard. What do I do, legally?

Attorney: The old phrase, “Fences make good neighbors” comes to mind, but you mentioned you have a fence, so you might want to consider a “legal fence” or wall. The first wall, which is the hardest, is to ignore them and hope it stops. This usually does not work and I recommend that you involve a lawyer; he can politely write a letter to the neighbors, warning them about their misconduct, asking them to cease and desist, and explaining how the conduct could result in court action, such as an anti-harassment order or a criminal citation for trespass or littering.

Another “fence” is to go to court and ask for an anti-harassment order; this is a civil remedy. You have to be able to show, in short, that the neighbors have directed conduct at you which seriously alarms, annoys, harasses, or is detrimental to you, and which serves no legitimate or lawful purpose. There is also possible criminal remedies as there is malicious harassment criminal laws, trespass and nuisance laws. If ignoring the neighbors does not work, and moving is not an option, go see a lawyer to help you.

I’m a bearded one, surmise some look askance at me. Hippy, methinks they say. Way back when I was a kid, only one red bearded man in the neighborhood. Communist, we’d say. Only other in my recollection a full-fledged white bearded actor, Monty Wholly.

Gave him celebrity, we’d say. Could he act?

Don’t recall.

In my latter adolescent years shaved sometimes twice daily, dark brown hair, very fair complexion, used to say, Had a five o’clock shadow at 3 pm.

Then, sensitive to being clean-shaven. Today stubble on a young male on a Banana Republic ad’s in.

Now, at my age, beard and all, could be mistaken for a sage.

I can live with that.
