Pub pursues outdoor area

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Henry DeHoog hopes to open an extension of his Homeplate Pub on the south side of East Main Street – a year-round, outdoor seating area in the B Street Plaza just to the east of his establishment.

As such, it would be the first outdoor seating area in Auburn’s public right of way – the rest are on private property.

DeHoog requires a permit from the City to proceed, and on Monday presented his

Proposed Green River levee project increases safety, improves habitat King County is planning a major levee reconstruction project on the Green River in Auburn.

The project includes work along more than one mile of the river that would enhance flood

protection for hundreds of Auburn residents and nearly $700 million of residential and commercial properties, and improve fish and wildlife habitat.

The scope of work includes rebuilding, setting back and extending the Reddington Levee along the west bank of the Green River, from Brannan Park at 26th Street Northeast downstream to

43rd Street Northeast.

The cost of the project is estimated at $14 million, with $13 million coming from the King County Flood Control District and $1 million coming from the Washington State Department of Ecology.

While the project design is in the initial stages and construction won’t start until next spring, the

required comment period under State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is now open and runs through Sept. 6.

If approved, the project would: • Replace levees that do not meet modern structural design standards and have a history of seepage problems.

• Set back levees to reduce their susceptibility to scour, which is

Oh, deer: ‘Beloved’ bronze statue stolen

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

From its perch on a metal log at Centennial Park, across from Mountain View Cemetery, the bronze deer had kept watch over the valley floor since the early 1990s.

But on early Tuesday morning, Aug. 21, a thief, or thieves unknown sawed through the four legs and stole the deer, leaving behind only the four hoofs that had attached the artwork to its base.

Cemetery staff, realizing later that morning that the piece, called “The Long Look” was missing, called Maija McKnight, arts coordinator for the City of Auburn. She and other City staff have been working with police ever since to help the investigation.

“We’re very saddened,”

[ PUB from page 1 ] tables but customers would have to buy their alcohol inside the pub, walk through the door into the gated area and seat themselves.

Also under state law, the outdoor extension of the pub would become a nosmoking area, and because smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of public accommodations, the smoking boundary would move 25 feet beyond the outside boundary of the seating area.

Assistant City Attorney Steve Gross noted one wrinkle: B Street Plaza is a public right-of-way, and

McKnight said. “I think that sculpture in particular is very beloved. When I was filing the police report, even the officer whom I was talking to said, ‘Oh no, not the deer.’ ” Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis called the act “despicable.”

The Auburn Arts Commission commissioned the work in 1992 from Brad Rude, an artist then affiliated with the Walla Walla Foundry.

Before Aug. 21 the sculpture had survived several vandalism and theft attempts, the most recent of them in 2005. Park visitors called police on that occasion after they observed that somebody had sawn through two of the legs.

The City responded by welding the legs back on and putting “extra heft” in them, McKnight said. Staff state law still permits smoking while walking within a public right-of-way.

“It would be an interesting exercise to take the B Street Plaza, given the outdoor seating and all the other entrances to buildings, and try to figure out where in the plaza one would be allowed to smoke when you combine that with the provision of state law that says you’re allowed to smoke while walking on a public right of way,” Gross said.

Plans call for a fence around the area, but no permanent structures.

Another court ruling moves YarrowBay’s Black Diamond development closer to groundbreaking

‘The Long Look’: Thieves stole the bronze deer statue on July 21, leaving only its severed feet on a metal log at Centennial Park, across from Mountain View Cemetery. COURTESY PHOTO, City of Auburn also cut back bushes that had partially blocked the park from the road.

Theft, McKnight said, is an ever-present concern for of the City’s public art pieces.

“The art is in the public sphere, and part of the joy is that it’s out there where anyone can access it. At the same time, the danger is that we can’t protect it,

we can’t put it under lock and key. Our maintenance program checks in on them regularly to make sure everything is OK. “… I am guessing that to saw through the bronze took a really long time,” McKnight said.

Anyone with information about this crime should call the Auburn Police Department at 253-931-3080.

to cut a door through the eastern wall of his business.

And because of the expense he expects to incur doing that, with the concurrent need to recoup this investment, any permit covering a period less than five years would not work for him financially.

Planning and Community Development Director Kevin Snyder said accommodations would have to be made for other uses of the site.

Councilman and committee member John Holman said people he had talked to about the idea in

the last week told him that they didn’t feel the outdoor area wouldn’t be any more disruptive than any other alcohol-serving establishment.

Indeed, in his research, the only feared negative impact he heard about was “disruptive behavior” and that was expressed by people who were smoking outside the Homeplate.

“I asked their opinion of it, and kind of the only negative impact came from your customers themselves about, perhaps, boorish behavior because of other things,” Holman told DeHoog.

In the most recent ruling regarding developer YarrowBay’s master planned communities in Black Diamond, the King County Superior Court has denied a Land Use Petition Act appeal filed by project opponents.

The court’s action affirms the Master Planned Development (MPD) Permits approved by the Black Diamond City Council in 2010 for The Villages and Lawson Hills MPDs. In his ruling against Toward Responsible Development (TRD), Superior Court Judge Patrick Oishi said that TRD’s petition failed to meet required state code for granting relief and “is dismissed with prejudice.”

The decision also affirms the Hearing Examiner’s decision that the final DeHoog said he had “given the idea careful thought. We don’t want it to become a nuisance issue.

The decision is another milestone in a series of cases involving YarrowBay dating back to late last year.

College steps it up for veterans

Already known for having one of the state’s largest community college enrollments, Green River Community College keeps on growing with a healthy infusion of returning veterans ready to rediscover the classroom.

The needs of the returning vets are many: some are poised to continue their education in familiar fields; others want to retrain and launch careers in new territory.

More than 400 veteran students registered at GRCC last year, and many more are expected to sign up for classes this year.

Mary Yahne was one of those veterans who decided to give GRCC a try.

Yahne served overseas in the Army, including a nine-month tour of Iraq before completing her duty and returning to her Renton home.

She soon discovered that beginning civilian life and restarting her education were tougher than she had thought they would be. She didn’t know exactly where to begin and got a bit lost in the transition.

“When I got out, I came back home, but there was no information on anything,” Yahne told the audience at a Soroptimist International of Kent luncheon this week.

Yahne represents the GRCC Foundation’s mission under a new initiative to help veteran students with resources. “I didn’t know how to get the help I needed.”

Needing to pay the bills, Yahne delivered airplane parts and worked as a bartender and truck driver. She was laid off from every job.

She enrolled at GRCC to study business management, but given the stagnant economy decided to try something else.

With the help of the college’s veteransassistance resources, Yahne found answers and opportunities.

Today she participates in the college’s welding program, a trade with a future, she says.

There are many resources in place to help veterans, including the college’s VetCorps program, which helps ease the transition from combat to campus.

Doc has an agenda over health care I read with dismay Dr. Linda Petter’s article (“Healthcare Act will be a costly jolt”, Auburn Reporter, Aug. 17). The real “jolt” was reading a political piece thinly disguised as medical information, thus coming across as less a “doc for all” and more a “doc with an agenda.”

The “truth” is that the Affordable Care Act is having a positive impact on her patients and all Washingtonians. How? By providing new coverage options for young adults, making prescription drugs affordable for seniors, covering preventive services with no deductible or co-pay, providing better value for your premium dollar through the 80/20 Rule, scrutinizing unreasonable premium increases, removing lifetime limits on health benefits, creating new coverage options for individuals with pre-existing conditions, increasing support for community health centers, and the list goes on (when you take into consideration additional grants being allocated).

Additional info at Healthcare. gov – www.healthcare.gov/law/ index.html.

But alas, the doctor does not want that to be the focus, nor the fact that 57 percent of the voters in Washington voted for President Obama and the very promise of healthcare reform.

Petter does a disservice by perpetuating (and inferring) things that are fundamentally untrue about the Affordable Care Act. After reading the

Affordable Care Act is beneficial I am a physician who has practiced at Auburn Regional Medical Center for more than 25 years. I strongly disagree with the contentions regarding the Affordable Care Act expressed by Dr. Linda Petter in her recent editorial.

As a hospital based physician, I see many patients from the emergency room that lack any health insurance. Over the years the number of these unfortunate individuals has increased steadily, along with a proportionate increase in

the amount of charity care provided by physicians and hospitals. It is no coincidence that my health care premiums have more than doubled over the last five years as the cost of care for the uninsured is “shifted” to those of us who are able to afford private health insurance.

It goes without saying that the Affordable Care Act, when fully implemented, would benefit not only the millions of Americans who currently are unable to afford basic health insurance but also physicians and hospitals who currently receive no reimbursement for charity care.

What is perhaps most disturbing about Dr. Petter’s editorial is not her misrepresentation of facts regarding our current healthcare system and the Affordable Healthcare Act, but her failure, as a physician, to express any compassion for the millions of Americans who are currently uninsured or to propose any solutions to address the complex healthcare issues confronting our nation.

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] City Council, the city clerk, the city attorney, the city cops and now the city associate planner, are closing in on their prey, Mayor Cy Sun, and are just about ready to devour him and have a feast.

The circling of the wolves began on Day One when Mayor Sun assumed his office and was told by council member Gary Hulsey to “come to his house and present his credentials and war medals.” And if he failed to do that, Hulsey would have the “FBI arrest” Mayor Sun. And the circling never seems to let up. There was even a choreographed arrest of the mayor, for breaking a locked door of the office of the City Clerk.

The Pacific City wolves have even solicited the help of another wolf from another city to bring up a “dismissed” sexual assault charge that happened 40 years ago.

bought from Aguilar and whom Aguilar suspected of snitching him out to law enforcement for the fire, had “better pray … that I don’t get yo lu (sic) before they catch me cuz I will catch a murder beef and I will send your punk ass to hell.”

According to the affidavit, the victim recognized Aguilar from surveillance video, though at first he could only identify him as “Mike.” Later he supplied police with “Mike’s” phone number and positively identified him in a photo montage derived from surveillance video from Auburn Way Storage in the period leading up to the fire and after investigators believe it began.

Several local, regional and federal agencies helped the VRFA and the fire investigators in the capture of Aguilar, including the Auburn Police Department.

So, what’s the next woe of Mayor Sun, and who’s going to be the next wolf?

Community of ugly yards Why do so many of the people of Auburn constantly show their lack of consideration for their neighbors?

For several years, there has been a rampant rise in the number of residential yards that are solid blankets of dandelions and clover. I constantly struggle to keep my yard free of your ongoing weeds (seeds blow into other yards, for heaven’s sake).

Your weed factories are ugly. You’re showing yourself to be extremely inconsiderate of others. You cause grief for those who are elderly or physically challenged.

No wonder Auburn has become such an unsavory place to live.

Re-striped streets are embarrassing Congratulations to the City for having Auburn Way North and South re-striped.

Only problem is that whoever they had do it didn’t think it through very well.

By not putting cones down to restrict cars from crossing lanes and driving on the not-yet-dried stripes, we now have multiple lanes within the existing lanes. Nice.

But there is a plus side to that. It just takes your eyes away from the disgustinglooking medians and weedy curbs in front of business establishments that line Auburn Way. Yes, Auburn, much more than I imagined.

Auburn’s VFW Post 1741, for instance, donated $500 – “a seed money” contribution – to the GRCC Veterans Emergency Fund. The fund helps student-veterans with relief-type payments while they attend school.

The Post took it a step further, establishing a $1,500 veterans scholarship at GRCC. Yahne just happened to be the first recipient of the scholarship.

Rover Romp raises funds for AVHS shelter

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Families and kids brought their furry friends to Roegner Park last Saturday for the inaugural Rover Romp, a 5K run/walk along the White River trail to benefit the Auburn Valley Humane Society.

Some 13 teams, 61 people in all, hoofed it with Fluffy and Rover.

In the weeks and months leading up to the race, the teams had already raised a little more than $7,000. By the time the romp was history, supporters had added $12,000 to the pot to furnish the shelter on A Street Southeast.

Donovan Brothers finished the remodeling of the future shelter two weeks ago and Veterinarians Don Edwards and Emily Purvis, founding members of AVHS, took advantage

of the day to lead the first public tours of the presently empty building.

“The goal was 200 charter members, at $1,000 a piece, and AVHS has filled almost half the charter member spots without even a program off the ground, just a concept,” said Auburn City Councilman John Partridge. “Now with the building done and charted to open Jan. 1, they expect to see more excitement, which I think this showed. “…The group has raised close to $100,000, and all this money is about the startup of the shelter, about furnishing the shelter, which is the computers, the desks, the cages, everything.”

The agreement with the City of Auburn was that the nonprofit AVHS would raise the dollars to furnish the building and the City would pay for the remodeling.

Several pet product vendors and local nonprofit rescue groups were on hand.

The shelter officially opens Jan. 1. It is expected to take in more than 2,000 animals each year. The romp allowed walk-ons and featured a raffle drawing.

When Auburn resident, businessman and musician Tory Mayfield first heard about the Taylor Bridge fire – a now contained forest fire near Cle Elum that scorched more than 28,000 acres and destroyed 70 homes – he knew he had to do something.

On Sept. 7 the Liberty Theater in Puyallup will play host to the Benefit Rock Show and Donation Drive for NW Wildfire Relief, featuring six local bands playing to raise money for victims of the Taylor Bridge Fire.

Although the fire raged almost 100 miles from his home, Mayfield – a real estate agent with Keller Williams, founder of The Team That ROCKS! real estate group and

drummer with local rock band High Noon Horizon – immediately leaped into action.

“When you hear about something like this it tugs on your heartstrings,” he said.

“Then that is replaced by ‘how do I help?’

I knew we had to put something together quickly and do something before the media attention shifted to something else.”

Mayfield immediately lined up a knockout bill of local talent that includes his band, as well as Blue Helix, True Holland, To The Glorious Lonely, Big Wheel Stunt Show and From the Sea. “People just jumped on board really quickly,” he said.

Mayfield said the historic Liberty Theater in downtown Puyallup was the first place he thought of when he started looking for a venue for the show.

“I thought this would be one of the most appropriate venues, and they instantly said yes,” he said.

After lining up the who and the where, Mayfield said, help continued to pour in.

“I didn’t expect it to get the momentum it did,” he said. “My company, Keller Williams, is all about helping people. They’re very involved in charity, and when I told them, they jumped on board immediately with monetary donations.”

In addition, Mayfield said, Alpine Mortgage in Auburn stepped up to provide donations.

“And Jägermeister has donated a case of Jäger, so half of every shot that is bought will go towards the donations,” he said.

Mayfield added that he’s courting several micro-breweries to donate kegs to the cause and has enlisted the help of Gallucci’s Catering.

“Why I am doing this is because it’s a fact that even though people care and feel for those affected by disaster, tragedy and hardship, that alone is not a call to action for the masses,” Mayfield said. “But creating an event through music and social interaction, within our own community that brings people together, enables us to be a part of something bigger than any one of us could do alone and within our individual means.

“We all know someone affected by the fires, we all heard about it or watched it, and it tugged at our heart strings, but most can’t just stop everything and go help put the fire out,” he continued. “But this night our community is going to help rebuild theirs.”

The first band takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at the theater, 116 W. Main St., Puyallup. Donations of $5 or more are suggested at the door.

DOC FOR ALL

Dr. Linda Petter

A new recommendation released by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) last week urges adults to get tested for Hepatitis C. Specifically, adults who were born between the years of 1945 and 1965 should be screened.

Why? This age group accounts for 75 percent of Hepatitis C cases diagnosis in the United States.

This condition can be life threatening. Approximately 15,000 people in the United States die each year from Hepatitis C. Early on, most people infected with Hepatitis C don’t have symptoms or even realize that something is wrong.

Symptoms may not develop until decades later, and consist of: fatigue, muscle and joint pain, fever, poor appetite, nausea, flu-like symptoms and tenderness around the liver.

This virus is spread by coming in contact with contaminated blood, such as sexual contact, shared needles, or if a person received a blood transfusion prior to 1992. Additionally, others at risk include: healthcare workers, emergency medical personal, if you have injected illicit drugs, having HIV, if you have received a tattoo or body piercing in unclean/ non-sterile conditions.

Left undiagnosed, and therefore untreated, Hepatitis C can progress to cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver and cancer. However, if Hepatitis C is diagnosed early, medication treatment with anti-virals can cure 75 percent of adults.

Please see you doctor and have a simple blood test to screen for Hepatitis C. This could save your life.

Raven offensive line looks to key team chemistry

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable, says an African proverb.

Much like wood, the 2012 Auburn Riverside football team has found strength in unity.

For this team, unity begins up front with a returning core of lineman, from senior Joe Miles (6 feet 5 inches, 270 pounds) to juniors Shaun Meehan (6-3, 280), Larkin Williams (5-10, 290) and senior Skyler Harris (6-0, 200), who has switched to the backfield as the team’s starting fullback.

“Our O-line and D-line are key to our success as a team,” said head coach Bob Morgan.

“They are the guys who have the most experience. In a lot of our skills positions, we’re going to be counting on younger players to fill those shoes, so we’re going to be counting on these guys to be the leaders of the team and

Last season the Ravens just missed out on the postseason, finishing sixth in the South Puget Sound League North 4A with a 3-5 league record, 4-6 overall.

Although the team showed it could succeed at times during the 2011 campaign – notably a 30-23 win over district rival Auburn – team chemistry was an issue, said senior Joe Miles.

“Last year we had some

rocky moments in the season,” said Miles, a returning all-SPSL first-team lineman and one of the this year’s captains. “We just want to have a better team chemistry this season and get the team to play together.”

Hagans, senior, DB, 5-5/160; and T.J. Muao, senior, DB, 6-2/180.

• Impact newcomers: Brier Atkinson, junior, QB, 5-11/165; Harold Lee, senior, RB/DB/KR, 5-9/160.

• Outlook: After earning eight straight postseason berths as a program, the wheels fell off for the Trojans this past season. Don’t expect a Gordon Elliott led team to stay down long, however. This year the team will look to Shelton to step up and provide leadership on both sides of the ball.

Robinson, senior, WR, 6-3/170; Shaun Meehan, junior, OL, 6-3, 280; Salvador Greer, senior, RB, 5-11/200; and Larkin Williams, junior, OL, 5-10/290.

season - to set the tone for the offense.

Also on the line are juniors Williams and Meehan, who will join Miles in clearing holes for Harris, who moves into the backfield after playing O-line last season.

Thomson will get the nod at QB. Defensively, the line will again be a strength.

Harris will move from defensive line, where he was a second-team all-SPSL North 4A pick last year, to linebacker.

AUBURN RIVERSIDE RAVENS • Coach: Bob Morgan, sixth year • Last year: sixth in league with 3-5 record, 4-6 overall • Type of offense: Pistol • Top returners: (six returning starters) Joe Miles, senior, OL, 6-5/270; Skyler Harris, senior, RB, 6-0/200; Michael

• Outlook: After making the postseason in 2010, the Ravens finished just out of the running last season, finishing sixth in the SPSL North 4A. This year the team will look to a massive offensive line anchored by Miles, a first-team all-SPSL North 4A selection at offensive line last

KENTLAKE FALCONS • Coach: Chris Paulson, third year • Last year: first in league with 8-0 record, 10-1 overall.

• Type of defense: 3-3 • Top returners: (four returning starters) Steffin Church, senior, LB, 6-1/195;

So far, Miles, Meehan, Harris and Williams have been laying that foundation.

“We’ve been working a lot harder at team chemistry,” Miles added. “It may be corny, but we’re family, it’s just there. And we’ve been lifting together and spending a lot of time together, just getting that team chemistry.”

“I feel like we all feed off each other, it’s just contagious,” Meehan added. “You see that in any football team: once somebody is pumped up, it gets everybody pumped up.”

The key to success, however, will be to couple that chemistry with on-field talent and leadership. Morgan says there’s lots of that around and it starts with Miles.

“Joe is a quick kid, he’s got great feet,” Morgan said. “He’s big and just one of those kids that is a great kid on the field and just flips a switch on the field and gets that nasty [ more ravens page 11 ] Mason Johnson, junior, DL, 6-3/315; Caleb Mathena, senior, DB, 6-0/190; and Nu’u Vaifale, senior, LB, 6-0/225.

This season the Ravens also expect to benefit from Harris’ switch from lineman to fullback, where his blocking skills will be crucial.

I’m excited. I’ve always wanted to carry the ball.”

but for the most part he’s a blocking guy.”

Morgan said that no matter how the team does during the season, up to this point he is just pleased with the players’ attitudes.

“There are absolutely no bad attitudes on the team,” he said. “They’re good kids. They do the right thing.

In fact, I just got word that none of our kids are academically ineligible to play. We’ve always had at least one that slacked off on grades. It’s just a good group of kids.”

Tedd E. FitzGerald November 12, 1929 - August 17, 2012 Tedd E. FitzGerald passed away peacefully on August 17, 2012. He was born in Auburn, Washington on November 12, 1929. Tedd graduated from Auburn High School in 1948 and went to serve in the Navy from 1948 -1952. He was a milkman for 18 years with Cloverleaf Farms.

Tedd is survived by Barbara his wife of 59 years, sons Mark and Mike (Paula) and daughters Gail (Dave) Pearson and Stacy (Bill) Youngs, and 11 grandchildren. He also survived by his sisters Rosita Smith, Louise Wolters, Christine Cavanaugh and Damaris Lowe. He was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Tilde, sisters Gertrude and Barbara, and brothers Walt and Bill.

Dad had a great sense of humor and was quite a jokester. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and his dog Maddie. We love you Dad! We would love to thank the staff at Canterbury House for their loving and professional care. There will be a celebration of Tedd’s life on September 9, 2012 at the Veterans Memorial Park in Auburn from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m.

DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE King County Water and Land Resources Division proposes to set back and extend the Reddington Levee along the left (west) bank of the Green River through a portion of the City of Auburn.

The Reddington Levee Setback and Extension project is part of a larger overall flood management strategy for the lower Green River. The project area is 1.3 miles in length and extends from the southern boundary of Port of Seattle’s wetland mitigation project at river mile (RM) 28.2 (43rd Street Northeast) to RM 29.5 at Brannan Park (26th Street Northeast). The project consists of removal of existing rock armor and levee fill materials, demolition of existing structures, utility construction and relocation, and construction of a setback levee. The proposed project is located in the City of Auburn.

The project extends from the southern boundary of Port of Seattle’s wetland mitigation project at river mile (RM) 28.2 (43rd Street Northeast) to RM 29.5 at Brannan Park (26th Street Northeast). Comments on this project must be received no later than September 6, 2012.
