Friends, family fight for Stacy Teacher remains hospitalized after being struck by vehicle

By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

More than 17 days after a car struck Stacy Ankerfelt, co-workers, family and friends got together for a spaghetti feed fundraiser to support the beloved Kent teacher.

Ankerfelt, 28, was hit walking to her own car on July 19. As of Monday, Aug. 6, she was in

serious condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Samuel Cruz, the 25-year-old Bonney Lake man who allegedly hit Ankerfelt, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday.

The King County Prosecutor has charged him with vehicular assault for allegedly driving while under the influence of a prescription drug when he struck Ankerfelt.

But on Sunday, Cruz was far from the minds of Ankerfelt’s

family and associates.

Via email, Lynn Neubert, a co-worker of Ankerfelt’s at Scenic Hill Elementary, described the mood at the spaghetti feed as, “a total buzz of positive energy.”

At least 100 people came to the Log Cabin Pub in Sumner for the event, which offered a silent auction, a dart tournament, T-shirt sales and a raffle for donated items, all to raise money for Ankerfelt’s medical expenses.

Stacy Ankerfelt has been in intensive care since July 19, when she was struck by an impaired driver outside her home in Auburn.

The as-yet-unnamed park on Auburn’s West Hill probably won’t offer fields, baseball diamonds, basketball or tennis courts, or anything else like that.

Instead, City leaders say, the future park, north of Mountain View Cemetery, is likely to be preserved as a natural setting, something of a green chapel to stroll through.

And its crowning jewel is a small lake.

Auburn City Council on MonBackus day gave the mayor and city clerk authority to execute a purchase and sale agreement between the City of Auburn and owner Auburn Lakes Investment, LLC for the 9.2-acre site.

The purchase cost is $456,191, but as Auburn City Councilwoman Nancy Backus said after the unanimous vote, King County Conservation Futures is picking up half [ more PARK page 3 ]

[2] August 10, 2012 [ stacy from page 1 ] All told, the event raised about $13,000.

Staff at Scenic Hill Elementary had already raised more than $2,000 for Ankerfelt, while a “give forward” website had collected more than $25,000.

Several quilters on staff at the school pieced together a homemade quilt for the fifth-grade teacher.

Neubert, a partner teacher to Ankerfelt’s fifth- and sixth-graders, said that even

www.auburn-reporter.com though she is old enough to be Ankerfelt’s mother, the two hit it off instantly.

“Stacy is a relatively new teacher, but you’d never guess that when you walk into her classroom,” Neubert said. “She is capable, extremely compassionate and respectful of her students. Stacy has the most self-deprecating sense of humor. I think that’s what makes her so endearing.”

People wearing bright green and pink “United for Stacy” T-shirts packed the

party, Neubert said.

Marla Flannery, another teacher at Scenic Hill and one of Ankerfelt’s carpool buddies, described the event as energetic, optimistic and compassionate.

The week that Ankerfelt was hit car, Flannery said, Ankerfelt had been gathering supplies and organizing inspirational college-readiness gear. She wanted to start the year by talking to her students about college and motivating them to go, Flannery said.

“She brought sandwiches … over the summer to the apartments of students attending our school, worried that most of them probably didn’t have much food this summer,” Flannery said.

Ankerfelt’s impact on so many was evident in the number of people who donated to the online site and attended fundraising events, Flannery said.

Her peers and work associates hold her in high esteem.

Scenic Hill Elementary is planning a once-a-month program to recognize students who demonstrate characteristics and qualities that Ankerfelt possesses and to give them “A” T-shirts in honor of Ankerfelt, said Principal Danielle Pfeiffer.

“What I can tell you is that she was a teacher who

[ PARK from page 1 ] the tab, while grants that the City has already secured from the county are picking up the rest. Which means, Backus said, that the overall impact of the purchase on the City’s budget is zero. “… An opportunity presented itself,” Backus explained, adding that the people who own the property had decided over time that they did not want to develop it, so that by Monday the price had come down to about a third of the original $1.2 million.

The future park is made up of two parcels of vacant, undeveloped land, with scattered fallen trees that will be cleared away. A little more than two acres of the site is lake.

At this time there are two ways to enter the property, via W Street or off 56th, but at some point in the future, the City may choose to develop parking, depending on what side it makes the

access point.

According to the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department, the new park will be the city’s 39th.

Kevin Snyder, director of planning and development, said Auburn Lakes Investment is a private investment group comprised of a consortium of owners. King County’s Conservation Futures program is aimed at preserving what land it can from residential or commercial development.

“It will secure that piece of property for the development of it as another gem in the parks system for the City of Auburn,” Backus said of the purchase … “It’s very exciting news. For one thing, there’s not a lot of park opportunities on the West Hill, aside from Jornada, which is a very small park on the top of the hill. This is part of the overall master plan of what we want to do in the city of Auburn.”

in Carbaugh’s original complaint, filed in July of 1970, Sun’s defamation suit does claim false and defamatory statements were made, alleging he “attempted to rape the said Margaret Carbaugh,” Carbaugh’s mother.

Cochran added the original case was “not dismissed on a motion or any legal basis,” but rather on a “settlement between Sun and the Carbaugh family.”

According to Sun, who is facing recall efforts by citizens of Pacific, he was

shocked when the case resurfaced last week.

“To tell the truth, I can’t remember her now,” he said. “It’s so long ago. The case didn’t last very long and they awarded me $30,000.”

Sun continued to deny that he had ever sexually abused Carbaugh.

“Hell, I hardly knew who she was, I had just moved there for three months,” he said.

“I want to be told that I am believed. That people understand and know that I am telling the truth about the essence of what he did.”

“It was the day and age, the atmosphere and the culture that existed,” she added.

“You needed to be hospitalized, to have visual wounds and injuries for someone to say, ‘OK, maybe.’ ” The case is scheduled to begin in Pierce County Superior Court on July 31, 2013.

“He looked hunched over, stooped, hard of hearing, and I am terrified of him,” she said. “I shouldn’t be. I should not be afraid of that man any longer.”

him in 1970, seeking $10,000 in damages, for “shock, fear and humiliation” and future medical expenses, according to documents obtained from the Pierce County Superior Court.

Sun countersued the Carbaugh family for defamation, seeking $1 million in damages.

After a jury trial in the Summer of 1972, Carbaugh’s case was dismissed and the jury ruled in favor of Sun for $30,000, which was later reduced to $1, according to court documents.

In October of 1972, both parties moved to have the cases dismissed with prejudice, meaning neither case could not be brought back to court.

Carbaugh’s attorney Darrell Cochran, however, said the new claim is valid because the original trial didn’t deal specifically with Carbaugh’s claims of abuse.

“The case did not involve our client or any sexual abuse claims by her,” Cochran said. “As we understand, the (original) claims arise out of a reported attack by Cy Sun on the mom.”

Man charged for shooting at police officers King County prosecutors on Monday filed two charges of first degree assault and one of first degree unlawful possession of a firearm against a Renton man whom they say fired a shotgun at two Auburn police officers early on Wednesday morning of last week.

At the request of prosecutors, Lawrence Jenkins, 23, is in jail on $1 million bail.

According to the Auburn Police Department’s affidavit of probable cause, which forms the basis for

www.auburn-reporter.com the three charges, at about 12:47 a.m. that day, an Auburn officer spotted Jenkins walking along the 1100 block of A Street Southeast and decided to contact him about a recent string of burglaries in the area. The officer turned his vehicle around and found Jenkins on 11th Street Southeast. Before the officer could get out of his vehicle, Jenkins allegedly shot at him, striking the windshield on the driver’s side before fleeing southbound on foot.

According to the affidavit, Jenkins went on to shoot at a second officer who responded to the area to help in 1200 block of A Street Southeast.

The second officer’s vehicle was struck on the driver’s door. The

second officer returned fire, with one round, as Jenkins allegedly fled eastbound.

Officers found Jenkins hiding in a yard in the 100 block of 12th Street Southeast and took him into custody without further incident.

Lying on the ground by his left hand, according to the affidavit, was a pistol-sized shotgun. Police also found a duffel bag in the bush with additional ammunition for the shotgun, according to the affidavit.

According to the affidavit, Jenkins said he had not fired upon the officers who finally captured him because he had known he was “outgunned.”

– Mayor Pete Lewis, on beginning the chore of removing flood control barriers in the Auburn area.

Ready for an Auburn revival?

Hope springs eternal at Auburn City Hall, or at least it seems that way judging by the anticipated benefits of Auburn’s new downtown promenade.

The decoratively paved street just begs for business to spring up alongside it. Benches on which shoppers can rest have been strategically and plentifully placed. Lush petunias dangle from the new sleek, black street lights recently installed. Young saplings are planted in metal grate-covered holes left in the sidewalk. Underground, new water, storm drain and sewer lines await. Ready for business.

Mac and Scooter – my dashing Dachshund/Beagle brothers – and I walk downtown every day. They love to peek into the Comstock bookstore window on the chance of seeing one of the lovely cats that make their home there. They enjoy the attention they get from Lisa, the sidewalk hot dog vendor, and the smokers outside the Home Plate Pub. Their favorite downtown spot, however, is Auburn Station. It seems rabbits inhabit the grassy and bushy areas, and they feel rabbits are fair game wherever they live. If only they could catch one.

But Mac and Scooter don’t know what to make of the new promenade. They look for grassy, tree-shaded areas, where I could sit while they cool their busy feet, sniff for rabbits, or take care of other necessities.

However, the new city park is all brick and concrete, not a blade of grass to be enjoyed.

Mac and Scooter look for people to greet on the promenade, but it is all but deserted, just as is much of Main Street.

Main Street, sadly, is still littered with empty storefronts, though some are decorated with fascinating art by Julia Haack or paper dresses by Josie Davis of Argentina.

A lesson to us all The situation in the City of Pacific is a true lesson to us all. Many of the city's residents moved there for a small town, less government structure. They are now learning they really do need some structure and that it must be competent.

Mayor Cy Sun was voted in as a joke, protest, or spite – not consideration of competency.

Now Pacific residents are reaping the consequences of their refusal to actually do their part in maintaining their desired government. It has become apparent that they have taken for granted what they had without intention of accepting the necessary responsibility of also working as a community in maintaining their functioning government. It is a lesson to us all.

Pacific is in true, serious danger of losing its city-hood.

A previous letter writer asked why won't they just let Sun do his job. Well, he is. He is actively dismantling the city so that it will cease to exist.

Was that what the voters actually wanted when they voted for him? I wonder if either the cities of Auburn or Sumner supported his campaign because one of them will be the first to benefit from his actions.

One of them will annex Pacific if they get the slightest chance.

Pacific people, get your act together, choose what you really want, and do what is necessary to get it. Or, get ready to change your address.

Murals painted by local young people on the side of the bridge on Auburn Way next to Roegner Park recently have been damaged.

COURTESY PHOTO

Murals defaced I returned from a period of living overseas to live in our new home in Mill Pond last summer. An attraction to living there has been Roegner Park and the White River, and making use of the beautiful trails and park facilities.

I also was thrilled by the beauty and creativity observed in the murals that had been painted by local young people on the side of the bridge on Auburn Way next to the park.

This summer when I returned to Auburn I was utterly disappointed to see the destruction inflicted upon the murals through wanton defacement. I am so sorry for those who had put so much time, energy and inspiration into making the bridge a colorful attraction, and hope they know that many of us appreciate their contributions.

I hope the artists will take it upon themselves to repaint the mural and eliminate the destruction, and that perhaps a way can be found to protect it from the idiots who damage public art that the rest of us enjoy.

If the police have caught the culprit(s), or do so in the future, make them clean it up and assign lots of community service hours.

My wife and I would love to help repair the mural, either by buying the paint and/or helping with labor, or in some other way. If the original artists are still in Auburn, we can be contacted at lnchead@yahoo. com.

Post office aids private sector at expense of aged The inappropriate and condescending actions of Auburn Post Office staff have provided new customers for private package and letter delivery. By denying handicapped and aged patrons mail delivery, they have shown callous disregard for their own patrons and for their own regulations.

The postmaster has not provided a written explanation for the sudden and unannounced [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

[6] August 10, 2012 cessation of home mail delivery as requested. We have endured more than a year of harassment with onagain, off-again delivery, as well as blatantly inaccurate and misleading interpretation of postal regulations.

This has led us and a few others to use other means for packages and letters, whenever possible, regardless of cost. That service also happens to be significantly better.

Nice going postal

employees – UPS and FedEx surely appreciate the business you have given them. We wonder if you get a commission for driving customers their way.

It has been a trying year. Delivery was totally irregular, getting our mail to us about four-five times per week.

The gleeful response, “It ain’t gonna happen,” when we requested the return of our mail delivery, still rings loudly in our ears. How many others have suffered the callous discrimination

and have been similarly beaten down by the Auburn Post Office?

FAMILY LAW Attorney at Law Ask John at jstocks@vansiclen.com

Summer Visitation and Vacations Client: I have a Parenting Plan with my 2 kids that says I can schedule 14 days of vacation, but only during the summer. My family has an important wedding in September that will take the kids out of school for 3 days. My ex won’t agree to this because it is past the summer. What do I do?

Attorney: You usually have 3 or 4 options with a Washington Parenting Plan. First, I would ask in writing in an e-mail asking for this special time and offer make-up time for the other parent’s missed time. If that doesn’t work, then second, I would hire a lawyer to write a letter or make a few phone calls.

Third, look at section V. of your Parenting Plan – it should be called “Dispute Resolution.” Often you can engage this provision to resolve the dispute. Some attorneys would object saying this is not a dispute, but a modification. Therefore, fourth, you can ask the court through a motion or modification to permit this one time trip, showing the court copies of your pleasant e-mails to and from the ex about this trip.

Is it fair to expect a person in poverty to also be subjected to a drug test?

Would we as a nation deny a person in need of food just because they didn’t pass a drug test? I would hope not.

Does a person’s drug addiction negate their need for sustenance?

We as a society need to recognize the growing disparity amongst ourselves.

Everyone wants to have the chance to work and provide for themselves and their families. Declining wages and lack of good paying jobs are compounding this problem. Poverty is growing, and we as a nation need to find ways to reverse that.

for whatever reason, find themselves in need of public assistance. No one wants to be confronted with that reality. But it happens more and more these days, and it happens to people who work and have families and are trying to live their lives as best they can.

More than one in five children in America live in households that struggle to put food on the table. That’s 16.2 million children. Hunger is rooted in poverty.

We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet, yet 15.1 percent of people living here live in poverty. It must be demoralizing to find oneself in need of public assistance.

New coaches for Raven boys and girls hoops teams SPSL veteran Tim Nelson to lead Raven girls

Jason Brown gets first varsity gig with boys

By SHAWN SKAGER

In the South Puget Sound League basketball community, Tim Nelson is a legend.

For seven years, from 1992 to 1998, Nelson helmed the Enumclaw girls basketball program, guiding the Hornets to six state tournament appearances – including a second-place finish in 1998 – and a 14735 win-loss record.

This winter Nelson will guide the Auburn Riverside girls basketball program, taking over from Terry Johnson who stepped down this past spring after three years as the Ravens head coach.

“Coach Nelson is an outstanding coach who brings a great deal to the table,” said Auburn Riverside Athletic Director Doug Aubert.

“His experience and success coaching girls basketball

Jason Brown knows that success on the court starts with a simple recipe.

And for the Auburn Riverside boys basketball team’s new head coach, it begins off the court.

“I don’t really think about things that are out of my control,” Brown, 36, said. “I think about building relationships with these young men, teaching them how to be hard workers and building a family atmosphere.

The rest will come.”

For the past eight years, Brown refined his coaching philosophy as the head coach of the Mt. Baker Middle School boys and girls basketball teams.

Brown attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where he played basketball for his mentor, Dave Hunter.

After graduating in 1995, he moved on to Western Washington University, from which he graduated in 1999. [ more Brown page 9 ]

[ Brown from page 8] Soon after that, he started his basketball coaching career at Port Angeles High School as the junior varsity coach. Brown was also the junior varsity coach at Kentridge High School, but quit, he said, to concentrate on raising a family and on his gig at Mt. Baker as a history teacher and coach.

“During that period, me and my wife kept hav-

and how much we enjoyed the journey.”

Although Nelson retired from coaching high school basketball in 1998, he said, Enumclaw girls head coach Beth Madill, a former teammate and classmate of his daughter, enticed him to return last season.

“I sat on the bench with her all season and it kind of lit a fire under me,” Nelson said.

“So when this job came open, I thought I might like to try it again.”

The fact that he had retired from teaching in the Enumclaw School District three years ago also factored into his decision.

“I can put my whole heart into it,” he said. “And this place has a nice tradition of winning, and Dave (Principal

Dave Halford) and Doug have made me feel real comfortable here. And the girls are great kids and they like to work hard.”

And despite the high expectations that come with taking over a program that has won three state titles Nelson said he hasn’t felt any pressure.

“Honestly, I don’t really think about that,” he said.

“How I equate success is bringing a great experience to the kids down here in the community of Auburn Riverside. I believe I can get that done. If that equates to wins, great. But I know that when they get done playing here they’ll say, ‘wow that was a great experience, we accomplished all we wanted to accomplish.’”

ing kids, and the family kept growing,” he said. “I realized then I needed to lighten the load a little bit, so I just focused on middle school.”

Last spring, with the youngest of his five children turning three years old, Brown said, he realized that he was ready to go back to coaching at the high school level.

“I can go back to my dream,” he told himself. “I

kind of put it on hold for the family.”

Initially, he accepted the Auburn Riverside boys junior varsity head coaching position. But after the resignation of Shawn Kilgallon – after three years as the Raven boys head coach – he was offered the varsity job, his first chance to lead a program at the high school level.

“Jason Brown is an outstanding coach who brings

a great deal to the table,” Auburn Riverside Athletic Director Doug Aubert said.

“His passion for basketball and connection to the community are tremendous assets.”

Brown said the job opened at the perfect time.

“I jumped at it,” Brown said. “It was God’s purpose; I can see his handwriting all over it.”

So far, just a couple of months into his tenure,

Third straight victory for David at Seafair

series high-point standings as the tour shifts to Mission Bay in San Diego on Sept.

14-16, followed by the season finale in Doha, Qatar on Jan. 10-12.

David joins Dave Villwock and the late Bill Muncey as three-peat Seafair winners.

In the final heat, David got the jump, flying around the contenders on the outside, timing his arrival at the score-up buoy perfectly. He then established more than the legal overlap and moved over to the inside lane and wired the start at full speed.

Jimmy Shane, driving the U-5 Graham Trucking hydro, was second.

Villwock, a former Auburn resident, and the U-1 Spirit of Qatar 96 were third.

Steve David and the Kent-based U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto captured the 63rd Albert Lee Cup – his third straight Seafair win – on Lake Washington Sunday, the fourth stop on the Air National Guard H1 Hydroplane Tour.

“Winning three straight is incredible,” said the 58-yearold Floridian, who took his fourth Seafair win in the past six years. “Considering that only a couple of other guys have done that – and who they were – it really hasn’t sunk in yet.”

With the win, David takes a 193-point lead in the Brown said, things are going just great.

“It’s beyond my wildest dreams,” Brown said. “I threw out a huge, rigorous summer calendar. I’m opening the gym four days a week, with two-a-days twice a week. And I’ve had almost perfect attendance.

I’ve got fourth graders all the way up to seniors, all invited to work out. And the gym will be full of 4050 guys.”

And if hard work, effort and team unity have any bearing on a team’s success, then Brown is confident his team will be successful.

“They are working so hard, and my high schoolers are setting the example,” he said. “It almost brought a tear to my eye. I didn’t cry, but I could feel it in my chest. This is what God has put me in charge of. What a fun journey this is going to be.”

“I always kind of wanted to coach,” he said. “And there was an eighth-grade boys basketball coaching job open at the junior high school. So they figured out how to get me out of the elementary school on time and get me to the junior high school. And the following year I moved to the junior high school. I coached baseball at the school also. And football. I coached almost all the sports when I was there.”

In 1984 Nelson’s daughter, Molly, was born. Soon after, he began coaching girls sports, starting off with the head girls softball job at Enumclaw.

“I took that job and that got me going into girls sports,” he

said. “It wasn’t a hard change at all.”

In 1992, Nelson took over the Enumclaw girls basketball program, turning it into a perennial SPSL powerhouse.

“I was fortunate to have some really good kids,” he said.

The key to his success – and the recipe he hopes to bring to the Raven program – is what he calls the “PLU” way. Based on the “doublewin” philosophy of legendary Pacific Lutheran University football coach Frosty Westering, Nelson said he emphasizes enjoying the journey and working hard as a team.

“We didn’t talk about winning a lot (in Enumclaw), we just enjoyed the journey,” he said. “The wins were the result of how hard we worked

It’s Artrageous Auburn’s Artrageous art festival took to the street last Saturday. Main Street, that is.

After years of hosting the annual event – which features local artists, hands on arts activities,

strolling performers and entertainment – at Les Gove Park, Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Art Coordinator Maija McKnight said it was time to change it up.

“At the park, it was a

great location, but the festival as we envisioned it, we didn’t want it to just be a kids event, and that’s kind of what it’s become,” McKnight said. “We were seeking ways to grow it into an all-ages event.”

EZ Wheel makes inroads with multi-service center

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter

Determined to bring back old-school customer service and offer a wellstocked inventory under one roof, Eran Zantkovsky wanted to open his kind of tire and wheel center in Auburn.

Something different, but still based on basic principles.

“Everything we do is for the customer,” said Zantkovsky, owner and CEO of EZ Wheel, a 25,000-squarefoot, one-stop service center for cars, trucks and other vehicles. “We make sure the customer is happy, and we make sure we appreciate them.”

Business has been brisk, so brisk in fact that Zantkovsky and his staff introduced tires to the trade about six months ago.

“We’re rocking, we’re doing well,” he said.

EZ Wheel stocks more than 5,800 wheels, along with treads of many makes.

EZ Wheel does business with 215 dealerships in the Northwest, from Portland to Bellingham.

The store, which supports a 3,000-square-foot showroom, provides a wide range of services, including shocks and struts, alignments and oil changes.

We’re open • Business: EZ Wheel • Address: 1604 15th St. SW, Suite 101, Auburn (across from the SuperMall).

• Specializing: One-stop center for wheels, tires, brakes, alignment, lifting and lowering cars and trucks, shocks and struts, custom lighting, leather and exhaust, window tinting, oil changes.

• Information: 253-9298215, 1-800-381-8344 (toll free); www.ezwheelusa.com.

• Benefit: “Wheels for Meals”.

Portion of sales to benefit the Auburn Food Bank. Cash donations also accepted.

“The probability of us doing it here is much higher than any other shop,” Zantkovsky said. “Every place else they will have to order it, where we stock our own,” Zantkovsky had been in the car business for 17 years, but he eventually sold his operation and pursued other interests. He and “30 other guys” established EZ Wheel in 2009.

The reviews have been good, Zantkovsky said.

“We’re local people and we want to keep our business local, too,” he said of the center’s convenient location, just off the Valley Freeway in Auburn.

Jill Christine Buicy

You live your life only once, but if you live it right, once is enough.

Jill loved Swap-meets, auctions, Beanie Babies, Jelly Bellys, QVC, shoes, shopping, fine clothing, manicures, purses and the FrogPrince Slot Machine at the Emerald Queen Casino.

She put her all into everything. She treated people with respect and lived her life full with no regrets. She will be with us all. Her love for her husband and daughter was total and complete.

She is a true angel.

Mom was a fighter. I learned so much from her. She was a kind, giving heart. There are too many greater qualities to list.

I love her honesty, humor, smile and “get up and go”. She always presented herself with pride and dressed to a “T”. My mother treated herself as should be a queen.

The list could go on forever, everything she was, an outstanding mother, wife and a great friend to so many. She is with me everyday of my life, everywhere I go. My Angel.

My Gem. Jill and I found each other early in life. She was 14 and I was 16. We never parted from that day on. Our love for each other was that of a true love story. Wherever Jill went, I went. It didn’t matter. I would go to T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or the grocery store with her. For me, she would go to bowling tournaments and Spanaway Raceway with me. I would watch Jill’s favorite shows on T.V. and Jill would watch Nascar with me.We never made a decision about anything without talking about it together first. I will always say that the best thing that ever happened to me was finding Jill.

She gave me 50 years of love and happiness freely. I will also say that the true love that I received from Jill only a few people will ever feel. Jill told me that when my time comes she will have a place prepared for me, that will be warm and bright and full of her love. So that I feel right at home. I love you Jill so very very much.

Your loving husband & Daughter.

Crews begin sandbag removal The City of Auburn has awarded the contract to remove flood control barriers to Henderson Partners LLC, a Gig Harbor-based company, beginning this month.

The barriers were installed

in 2009 to provide extra flood protection after the announcement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that severe flooding was possible due to a damaged Howard Hanson Dam embankment.

The Corps announced last fall that it is once again operating the dam at full capacity. Removal

www.auburn-reporter.com www.auburn-reporter.com

begins in August, and completion is expected by the end of the year.

Henderson Partners LLC’s bid came in at $995,524.73 (with taxes). The project will be paid for through the King County Flood Control District property tax levy.

The flood control district will pick up 75 percent of the cost, and the remaining 25 percent will

use the City’s portion of the King County Flood Control Opportunity fund.

The King County Flood Control District approved more than $5 million dollars in May to offset costs of removal for the county and the cities after FEMA denied the joint request for reimbursement for flood preparation.

www.nw-ads.com The contractors will be removing the giant sandbags and either selling, reusing, or properly disposing of sand, gravel and other materials used to construct the flood fighting walls.

There are approximately 29,668 linear feet (5.62 miles) of various temporary flood control barriers in Auburn.
