To annex? Auburn, Pacific plan for possibility By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Auburn’s mayor will sign a joint letter of intent with the City of Pacific to annex that city and send the letter to the Boundary Review Boards of King and Pierce counties. The hope, Auburn leaders said Monday night, is to buy the troubled City of Pacific time to solve its problems – that is, to acquire and keep its insurance so it can stave off disincorporation or annexation. “What we’re really hoping … is to continue to work on a pretty much daily basis with the City of Pacific to see if we can lend what aid and support we can to get them to have insur-

Pacific residents had an opportunity to voice their opinions about possible annexation to Auburn at a special City Council meeting Monday. Citizens packed the city gymnasium, where the council conducted a workshop and a public hearing on a proposed resolution asking neighboring Auburn to annex troubled Pacific, which could lose its insurance coverage come Jan. 1.

City seeks ways to fund streets
Two charged in connection with drive-by shooting BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The King County Prosecutor has charged an Auburn woman and her boyfriend with unlawful possession of firearms after a drive-by shooting in the late morning hours Nov. 28 that wounded her ex-boyfriend while he was parked in her driveway. King County Prosecutor’s spokesman Dan Donohoe said no decisions have been made to date about charging Tanya Jean Sarden, 34, or Jordan Parr, 23, with assault. Bail for is set at $500,000 for each. According to the Auburn Police affidavit for probable cause, which forms the basis for the charges, the terrified 5-year-old son of the wounded man and of Sarden hunkered down in the back seat of his father’s car as the bullets flew. He was not hurt. [ more SHOOTING page 4 ]

Money from the state and federal government that once helped cities like Auburn build local streets and maintain what they already had has dried up since the Great Recession hit in late 2008. This past April the City put forward a $59 million bond measure it had hoped would fill the gap left by the lack of state and federal revenue. And Auburn voters thumped the measure down. Today, as time and traffic continue to wear Auburn’s streets down, members of the City’s Municipal Services Committee are wrestling with
that big question – where to find the revenue? Members have been tinkering with various options for big city corridors: chip sealing or rebuilds here; thick or thin overlays there. As to revenue, they’ve been studying various combinations of fee increases on the residential customer side, of possible new taxes on the business side, combinations that strike the proper ratio between each. Committee members recently got a look at maps presenting two different build-and-fix scenarios showing what streets will look like five years on. [ more STREETS page 3 ]

“This is going to be a case of pay me now, or pay me later,” said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis. “We understand that, but the public doesn’t understand that,” committee member Largo Wales responded. “… We’ve got to figure out how to get the money.” Councilmember Wayne Osborne threw out a plan for consideration only. • Raise the public utility tax 1 percent above the current 7 percent: net, $500,000. Proceeds would go to arterial preservation. • Raise the cable television tax from the current 1 percent to the maximum 6 percent allowable by law: net, $850,000. Proceeds would go to arterial preservation. • A $20 car tab fee: net, $700,000. In 2011 the City created a Transportation Benefit District, which can levy up to a $20 annual car licensing fee without voter approval. On the business side, Osborne’s plan suggests regulatory licensing fees or a business and occupation tax to make up the remaining revenue. The City is authorized to levy a B&O tax of up to .2 percent on the gross income or gross receipts. Businesses eligible for the B&O tax include: extracting; manufacturing; retail; services and wholesale. Osborne’s math would net the City $2 million from residential and $4 million from commercial customers.
Although the vote on the resolution was pushed back to next Monday’s regular council meeting, council members and controversial Mayor Cy Sun got an earful from residents, most of whom opposed annexation. “I’m against the annexation,” Tom Halseth told the council. “I want the City of Pacific to remain to be the City of Pacific, and I’m proud to be here.” The council was quick to explain to citizens that the possibility of annexation was just that – a possibility. “One of the main reasons we brought this annexation forward, out of all our options, is we won’t have insurance after Dec. 31,” Council President Leanne Guier said. She explained that the City needs to get the ball rolling on the process, just in case the City was unable to secure either new insurance, or an extension on its existing policy. Without insurance, the city services, including police, would halt rather than expose employees to liability. Guier explained that even if the City passes a resolution
the option of considering actual annexation at a future date. Auburn City Attorney Dan Heid said it is critical for Pacific to acquire and keep insurance, as its council members have promised to resign without it, and for annexation to happen, there must be a corresponding City Council to deal with. The unanimous council vote to proceed with the letter of intent followed presentations by city directors

that layed out the pluses and minuses of annexation. Auburn Financial Director Shelly Coleman said it would require about $5.2 million to run the City of Pacific at Auburn standards, and Pacific has only about $3 million. Michael Hursh, Auburn’s human services director, said annexation would put additional pressure on Auburn’s already strained existing human services network to meet the needs of what census data show to be a poorer community.
Kevin Snyder, Auburn’s planning and community development director, said annexation would have a relatively mild impact on staffing levels in his department, which could accommodate the additional load. The significant challenge, he said, is the year it would take to deal with the administrative side, that is with files, the updating of internal systems, dealing with the overall coordination of clients and with building and code compliance. On the positive side,
said Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy, annexation might “add certainty” to the $4.7 million Stewart Road widening project – from Valentine Road to the State Route 167 ramps – which Pacific is managing. The state Transportation Improvement Board, Dowdy noted, has yet to release the grant funds, because of Pacific’s failure to meet six criteria. Dowdy said the disadvantages are much more numerous. For one thing, Pacific does not have the

approving the annexation, it can be cancelled if the City finds out before Dec. 31 that it will be able to continue to operate with insurance. Pacific residents also can overturn annexation with a petition signed by owners of more than 60 percent of the property in the city. The City has also put disincorporation on the table as a possible option. “Annexation is certainly not Plan A or Plan B, maybe Plan C,” Councilmember Joshua Putnam said. Pacific’s neighbor to the south, Sumner, also passed a resolution expressing the City’s desire to annex the Pierce County portion of Pacific. The two communities share funding on several road construction projects.

On the same November evening, a couple of hours apart, witnesses on Auburn’s West Hill and in Kent’s downtown claimed they saw the same thing, something awfully peculiar, flashing and darting across the heavens. A strange, low-flying object – a threeorange-red-light triangle – appeared for a moment, suddenly tipped upward, pivoted and zipped out of view. Witnesses had little time to record the visitor, yet they were willing to try to explain the unexplained. As one of the Auburn witnesses described that night to the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, one of the oldest and largest UFO investigative organizations in the country: “The lights pulsed repeatedly, but they looked nothing like anticollision lights on aircraft we have seen thousands of times in our area.” The same “three-light triangular object” description came from two witnesses who reported such a formation moving silently across the sky in Spanaway a week before. What gives? Was it just another in a series of unexplained UFOs, intriguing or confusing the stargazing public? Was it an unconventional aircraft, wayward satellite or NASA anomaly? Or was it something more than that? Little green men examining the Green River Valley? It’s James Clarkson’s job to find out more about such occurrences. Clarkson, a career investigator and state employee, served as a Military Police investigator with the Army then 20 years as a police officer in Aberdeen before retiring. As a young man, he was drawn to the mystery behind UFOs, and in 1987, joined MUFON to devote his quest of the unknown as a volunteer investigator, author and lecturer. Today, he represents MUFON as its state director in charge of investigating UFO events in Washington. Clarkson claims he is no kook, no conspiracy theorist, just a credible investigator who explores the UFO phenomenon Clarkson and provides information to those who are interested. Clarkson has not had a sighting or an experience with a UFO but is convinced the universe is much more complex and richly endowed with intelligence than “we are aware or that we are willing to admit.” He accepts and understands those who consider ufology a complete hoax. He continues his work despite the frequent ridicule, the constant challenges from a skeptical public, uncooperative government agencies, even doubting scientists. But the public has a right to know about [ more KLAAS page 12 ]

Some thoughts on legalization of pot On Dec. 6, 2012, the State of Washington made history. Not just state history. Not just national history. I’m talking world history. Galactic history, as far as I know. The people of our state say it’s no longer illegal for an adult to smoke pot. Just as Prohibition of alcohol was a failed social policy, we have now said the same is true for the prohibition of marijuana. In December of 2009, I wrote an article about reducing costs in the criminal justice system (www.hiplawfirm.com). I advocated ending the failed war on drugs for a fairer, more reasonable and cost effective approach. By passing Initiative 502 on election night, the people of our state took a giant step toward this goal by legalizing marijuana. It’s only the first step in what will be an evolving social policy issue with several twists and turns sure to come. On the part of pot users, some discretion is still in order. “Legal” is qualified. Not everything to do with pot is legal. Like alcohol, you have to be 21. You can’t smoke it in public. If you do, you can receive a civil infraction. Outside of medical marijuana growers, you cannot grow it yourself. If over 21, you can have up to an ounce but
nobody can legally sell or give it to you. And you can’t give it to anyone else. That could technically be a “delivery,” which is different from “possession,” and “delivery” of marijuana is still illegal. During the preelection debate, anti-502 (but prolegalization) folks complained that one would be guilty of a felony for passing a joint to their friend. While that is technically true, that has always been the case. And in my years of defense work, I never saw anyone charged with “delivery” of marijuana for passing a doobie. Now that the item being passed along is legal, I think the threat of a felony is beyond realism. But, clearly, a medical marijuana patient cannot legally obtain pot and then share with or “deliver” it to his or her friends. That is still illegal, even after Thursday’s historic change. DUI marijuana. You cannot be operating a motor vehicle while high on marijuana. The police will still need probable cause to pull you over. But any traffic infraction will do, such as forgetting to signal a lane change or going 15 in a 40mph zone. But now, just like a .08 limit with blood-alcohol, there is a per se limit of 5

This per se limit does not take into account an individual’s tolerance and is unfair for the medical marijuana patients who smoke frequently to relieve pain and other symptoms of their disease or treatment. But the limit had to be set at some amount. If further research shows that the 5-ng level is too low, the Legislature could make adjustments. To prevent medical marijuana patients from getting caught in the crossfire, an exemption to the 5-ng per se limit should be carved into the law. [ more PROTHERO page 6 ]
[6] December 7, 2012 Besides potential driving impairment, to be on the safe side from a strictly legal standpoint, I would advise people not to smoke pot in their vehicles. The pungent aroma of some recently smoked Willie Nelson Purple Kush could reasonably lead to an officer’s suspicion and a blood test. A routine traffic stop could turn into a DUI, even if your driving wasn’t
impaired. The feds. The most obvious legal issue is the conflict with federal law. It is true that the federal response is yet unknown. Will the feds swoop in and start arresting and charging Washington pot smokers with federal charges, even though the people of our state say it is legal here? I doubt it. I think it’s fair to assume the feds will continue to bust major
grow operations, interstate transport and distribution, and major dealers acting in the void until licensing, regulation, and tax schemes are in place in a year. Hopefully, the feds will continue to leave simple possession alone and see how our social experiment evolves. The feds have already demonstrated their acceptance of medical marijuana cooperatives and dispensa-
ries that operate within the law. They aren’t just looking the other way. Several months ago, they came in and busted several Puget Sound area dispensaries that were allegedly distributing beyond the medical marijuana bounds. However, they left alone many more who were operating within Washington law, even though technically still illegal under federal law. On this point,

She was preceded in death on August 26, 2012 by her husband of nearly 68 years, Arnold E. Dluhosh. She is survived by her daughter Karen Dluhosh, her sons James A. Dluhosh and William H. Dluhosh, her granddaughter Burnley Converse Dluhosh, and son-in-law, Phil Converse. Miriam was a loving mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and gracious lady, always putting people at ease and finding the good in them. A kind word, a smile, asking after those who were most important in our lives. From an early age she played the piano; learning from her mother who was an excellent pianist in her own right. In the early 1940’s, before settling into marriage, Miriam attended Washington State College in Pullman, Washington for three years studying music. She spent over thirty years raising her family and teaching piano to many students of all ages. Singing in the Auburn Methodist Church choir was a joy for many years. Her passion for music (especially the piano), dancing and its pleasures she enjoyed to the end. She once wrote – “When I want to simplify my thoughts – I play Haydn; When I want to comfort myself and lift my mood, I play Mozart;When I need strength in my life, I play Beethoven;When I need strength and resolution of conflict in my life, I play Bach; and when I want to indulge … for about 20 minutes… I play Chopin.” We will remember the times she played for us with great warmth. Miriam’s family would like to thank the amazing staff at Auburn Meadows Memory Care services for the support and personal care provided during the past eighteen months of her life. We would also extend our thanks to the Franciscan Health System for their wonderful hospice services during these past few months. Private funeral arrangements are being made by Yahn & Son, Auburn,WA. In memory of their sixtyseven years of marriage, private memorial services are planned for Miriam and Arnold in 2013. 713253
Margaret S. Taylor
Margaret Taylor, 105, passed away peacefully at home on November 20, 2012. Margaret was born the fifth of six girls on October 20, 1907 to Miles and Tureen Stirewalt in Minnesota. Margaret attended a business college for one year, was a school teacher, and worked for the selective service during WWll. Margaret married Adelbert “Buck’’Taylor on June 16, 1929 in Steele, ND where they lived until moving to Centralia, and then settling in Auburn in 1947. Her beloved Buck passed away of Cancer in 1949 in Auburn. Margaret was the mother of two sons, John “Jack’’Taylor, who passed away and 1993, and James, who passed away in 2010. Margaret married Donal Bandy in 1970 until his death in 1983. Margaret also worked in various capacities at Boeing, until retiring in 1971. Margaret was proudly independant until age 96, and loved to travel, taking trips to the Holy Land, riding a camel in Egypt, and taking a family vacation to Norway to visit relatives, and the farm her family owned until immigrating to the U.S. Margaret was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Auburn for over 60 years, and involved in countless church activities and guilds. The Lutheran church was a very important part of Margaret’s daily life. Margaret leaves behind six grandchildren and three generations of great-grandchildren.

members of the Kent City Council, please take note and revisit your ban. The feds won’t mind. Even less so now that we’ve legalized recreational use for adults. From a legal standpoint, my advice is simple: Be smart. Don’t smoke it in your vehicle and don’t drive when you’re high. It’s only legal to possess if you’re 21 years old or older. Don’t smoke it in public. If you do, you can be fined.
The law will be evolving over the next several years, through the courts and legislatures of our state and country. We are progressing forward. If you want to get high, just be discreet. If you have any questions about the laws involving marijuana, contact a criminal defense lawyer. Mark Prothero is an attorney at law at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC, Kent.

Former Raven girls coach at helm of Lion boys By SHAWN SKAGER
Boys basketball team previews AUBURN RIVERSIDE
sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Auburn Mountainview’s new boys basketball coach is no stranger to Auburn. For the past three years Terrence Johnson has been the head of the Auburn Riverside girls basketball program, a tenure that included a state 4A championship in 2010. But after last season, Johnson said, he felt it was time to move on. “I’d never coached girls before,” he said. “And it was an awesome three years and I became a much better coach coaching them. And I miss those girls a lot. But I kind of felt that my place was coaching guys again. I felt those girls could do better than what I could give them at the time.” Johnson said he had no idea where he would land but tendered his resignation anyway, thinking he might help out as an assistant somewhere or maybe just spend more time with the family. “I didn’t even know this job was open,” Johnson said. “I didn’t really know anything about it,

COACH: Jason Brown, first year LAST SEASON: 2-18 overall, ninth in the South Puget Sound League North 4A with a 3-13 record TOP PERFORMERS: Derek Brown, junior, 6-1 guard; Cody Crawford, senior, 6-2 wing; Derek White, junior, 5-9 guard; and Drew Wallen, junior, 6-2 win. IMPACT NEWCOMERS: Trevion Jones, senior, 6-5 post. LAST STATE APPEARANCE: None.
Terrence Johnson in action at the Les Schwab Tipoff Classic. Johnson takes over as the Auburn Mountainview boys basketball coach after three years at Auburn Riverside. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter but enough people talked to me about it I became intrigued. It was an awesome opportunity.” Not wanting to miss his chance to return to the boys basketball ranks, Johnson applied and was hired as the head of the Lion program, replacing long-time coach Jon Price. Now it’s all about taking the program to the next level and making some noise, not only in the South Puget Sound
League 3A but also in the postseason. “We’re trying to establish a culture that’s based on two things,” Johnson said. “One is just improving every day. Regardless of good or bad, we want to make sure we’re getting better. We want to have focus in the little things. And we think once we get these kids giving their best effort in the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.
“We’ve talked to these kids about being a champion, and that’s not about hanging a banner or getting a trophy. That’s a nice part of it, but it’s doing everything every day to improve themselves.” Although Johnson’s plan for the program is long term success, it’s not inconceivable that the Lions could find their way into the postseason this year.

OUTLOOK: The Ravens have yet to make it out of the district tournament and into the state playoffs. Brown, who coached many of the team’s players at Rainier Middle School, looks to change that.

AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW
Auburn Mountainview boasts a strong core of returning seniors, including Domenic Rockey, JJ Lacey, Aarun Rumbaugh and Keith Green, in addition to some talented new blood, including 6 feet, 9 inch freshman post Tristan Miguel. “I really think by the end of the season those four (freshmen) are going to help us have a chance to compete come playoff time,” Johnson said. What matters is growth, not how good the team is, but don’t be surprised to find the Lions in the mix come postseason. “We have a really good team,” Johnson said. “We’ve got 13 guys who are really a team.”
COACH: Terrence Johnson, first year LAST SEASON: 13-10 overall, sixth in SPSL 3A with 5-5 record TOP PERFORMERS: JJ Lacey, senior, 6-3 guard; Keith Green, senior, 5-11 guard; Aarun Rumbaugh, senior, 6-5 wing; Domenic Rockey, senior, 6-3 wing. IMPACT NEWCOMERS: Tristan Miguel, freshman, 6-9 post. LAST STATE APPEARANCE: None. OUTLOOK: With a new system, look for the Lions to take a few lumps before they find their stride. However, with strong senior leadership and a deep pool of talented underclassmen the Lions won’t stay down long.

[12] December 7, 2012 [ KLAAS from page 5 ] the mystery, and Clarkson makes no apologies for the purpose of the network. “It’s the greatest story never told. There is something very important going on that defies conventional explanation, and our job is to try and address it,” Clarkson said of his mission. Clarkson points out that many people are seriously dedicated to this field. MUFON’s purpose is to collect the most detailed data, capture and assess the
www.auburn-reporter.com soundness of the reports and look for “high strangeness combined with high witness credibility” in each logged sighting. Clarkson estimates there are about 15-20 reported sightings each month in the state but that seven or eight out of every 10 UFO events reported turn out to have a conventional or manmade explanation. “Investigating UFOs is really a lot like what I imagine panning for gold is like: You spend a lot of time sloshing the mud and the gravel, but
you do pick up the nuggets, and you always find something worthwhile or interesting,” Clarkson said. MUFON, as Clarkson says, takes a conservative, cautious approach. It is not out to convince the public that Earth is about to be invaded by alien forces. Yet there are those who think so. “We keep it logical, and we don’t make assumptions we cannot support,” Clarkson said. “We try hard to be fair and objective.” Many people who report a UFO sighting have little
understanding of the sky, Clarkson said. Witnesses come from all walks. “Pilots I know have reported sightings that would make the hair stand up on the back on your neck,” Clarkson said. While mainstream media, aviation officials and scientists tend to shun the UFO phenomenon, there remain a significant number of curious and inquisitive people who support the belief that intelligent life might exist elsewhere in the universe. In fact, many surveys

over time suggest that a good portion of people remain convinced that some form of alien life does exist in the wide, wide cosmos. Clarkson’s belief? “One way or another we are going to discover that life is just as abundant in the universe as it is here on Earth,” he said. “I honestly have come to the conclusion – and I can’t prove this objectively, I freely admit it – but if you ask me what I believe, I think that life is going to end up being the other force in the universe.

“… I mean, we keep stumbling over water everywhere we look (on other planets). It’s not a big leap to think that where there is water, there could be some kind of life form.” But what about intelligent life? Steven Spielberg introduced us to the imaginary “E.T.” 30 years ago. He went home, and hasn’t come back. Or has he? “If you want me to commit – based upon my entire research and my experiences, etc. – I do think we’ve been visited by something that isn’t human,” Clarkson said. Someday, Clarkson the ufologist insists, we will have that explanation. Believe it, or not.
