City: Municipal park district could be beneficial By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

If a municipal park district ran Auburn’s parks and recreation program, costs and savings would result in a net benefit to the City

of Auburn of about $5 million. Freed from shouldering the cost of running the program, City Financial Director Shelley Coleman told members of the Planning and Community Development Committee this week,

Auburn’s leaders could then direct funds to other critical purposes, including streets. Councilwoman Nancy Backus wondered what extra park benefits or improvements voters could expect in return for the

extra tax money they would put out to support an MPD. Coleman presented the bones of the idea to the committee Monday. Municipal park districts are not uncommon in the state of Wash-

A superior court judge on Jan. 10 sentenced Aenoy Phasay to 15 years in prison for the 2010 shooting death of an Auburn man. A jury last month convicted the Kent man, 31, of second-degree murder for the shooting death of 48-year-

old Thomas J. Bennett Sr. in March 2010. The jury also made a finding for a firearm sentencing enhancement. Prosecutors said Phasay shot Bennett multiple times after a heated dispute in the parking lot of the north Auburn Top Food and Drug at 1702 Auburn Way N. and threatened [ more MURDER page 3 ]

Now that Pacific’s existence is ensured for another year, the political infighting in the city has nastied up a notch. At Monday’s City Council meeting, Councilmember Gary Hulsey called out Mayor Cy Sun for statements on his blog. In a recent posting at www.mayorcysun.blogspot.com, Sun questioned Hulsey’s military service Cy Sun record and his service as a Washington state commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). According to Sun’s blog, VFW Washington State Adjutant George “Corky” Berthiaume told him that Hulsey had never served as a state commander of the VFW. “What I have to say from my meeting with Corky, are the following,” Sun wrote. “Hulsey was not ever a state commander for any Veterans organization. He lied under oath and in Legislative session.”

Wandering Great Dane killed By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The homeless, wandering Great Dane that a friend of Patricia Cosgrove’s had offered to adopt and for which the White River Valley Museum director had put up a small reward, was hit by a car and killed Jan 10. Good Samaritans tried

to help the injured dog, but she ran off into the brush just south of a public storage building in the 1800 block of Howard Road. A call to Auburn Police brought an officer to the scene to find her in the dark but without success. Kelley Durham, director of the Auburn Valley Humane Society, wrote on AVHS’ Facebook page that

Grand opening: The Auburn Valley Humane Society hosts a grand opening Saturday of its community animal shelter, 4910 A St. SE. A ceremonial ribbon cutting is at 11:30 a.m. followed by an open house from noon to 4 p.m. The public is welcome. Donations are warmly welcomed. For more information, visit auburnvalleyhs.org.

Animal Control Officer George Winner found the dog Friday morning, dead of her injuries. The dog’s injuries were so serious that even a vet on scene couldn’t have saved her. “She was brought to AVHS and handled with great dignity,” Durham wrote. “She will be cremated soon, and we plan to have her ashes returned to us.” In the next few weeks, Durham added, the museum will set up a memorial fund. “In addition, we will have a memorial gathering to commemorate her crossing over the rainbow bridge,” Durham wrote.

“Details will soon be available here and at AVHS.” King County Animal Control had previously set a trap but the wiley dog didn’t fall for it. The only other option would have been to corner her, which she wasn’t going to readily allow, or to use tranquilizer equipment. “It’s sad and disappointing,” Cosgrove said Monday.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ PACIFIC from page 1 ] Sun added: “Hulsey, what kind of Discharge did you get, a DD (Dishonorable Discharge), MD (Medical Discharge), CD (Convenience Discharge), or were you ever in the Service? Did you serve in Nam [the Vietnam War] or the Dominican Republic where we, the United States were in a combat skirmish? Did you receive the Purple Heart? If so, do you have documents to prove that you, indeed, received it? How about producing your DD214? That will prove everything what you said, you were and you did?” “You told several lies in your blog, flat out lies,” Hulsey told Sun at the meeting. “I want the city attorney to read aloud my DD214.” According to the document – read aloud by City Attorney Kenyon Luce – Hulsey served in the United States Marine Corps from April 27, 1965 until his honorable discharge as a sergeant on April 26, 1971. In addition the document states that Hulsey received a Purple Heart, a Good Conduct Medal, a National Defense Service Medal, a Vietnam Campaign Medal, a Presidential Unit Citation and a Vietnam Service Medal with stars. “It does appear to be a valid DD214 for the honorable service of Mr. Gary Hulsey,” Luce said. Hulsey also addressed the mayor, council and audience about his service in the VFW, insisting that he had proof of his service as a Washington State Commander. Berthiaume later confirmed in a phone interview that Hulsey had served as a state commander for the organization. He Sun must have “misunderstood” him. “I told him that Hulsey cannot speak as a commander for the VFW now,” he said. Berthiaume added that Hulsey also served as the state treasurer but was voted out of office. “He was working for free and they voted in someone who they had to pay a salary, if that tells you anything,” he

Bennett’s son, who had witnessed the killing. Phasay has a child with Bennett Jr.’s older half-sister. According to prosecutors, Phasay shot Bennett Sr., to death in front of Bennett’s son during a meeting that had been set up to resolve some long-standing differences. Auburn Police Detective Michael Jordan offered the following account of events in court documents. Bennett Jr. called 911 at 3:01 a.m. to report that his father had been shot. A second caller reported hearing three gunshots from the east side of the lot. The responding police officer found the mortally-wounded man lying on the ground just outside the open driver’s side door of a silver Land

Rover, one foot still inside the vehicle. The officer performed CPR until medics arrived, but 15 minutes later Bennett Sr. was pronounced dead at the scene. Nearby, officers found three spent shell casings and three unspent cartridges. Bennett Jr. identified the shooter as Phasay. Bennett Jr. told police that he had accompanied his father that morning to support him. According to charging papers, Bennett Sr. had asked Phasay to sit in the back seat, but the younger man refused, and the two argued. Bennett Jr. told police that his father got out of the driver’s seat, but that he, Bennett Jr., stayed in the car. Bennett Jr. told police that the two men got into a fight behind the car, and that

he tried to stop the fight. He said that his father got back into the driver’s seat of the car, but that as his father was doing so, Phasay approached and punched him in the head. At that point, court papers say, Phasay produced a black semiautomatic Glock handgun. Bennett Jr. immediately left the car, crawled to the rear and lay down on the ground. Bennett Jr. told police that he then heard several gun shots and that afterward Phasay walked around the car to where he was and pointed the handgun at him. Bennett Jr. told police that he begged Phasay not to shoot him, and that Phasay told him “don’t say a word” and took off running. Valley SWAT arrested Phasay that morning at his apartment in Kent.

ALSO: Sun found himself in the hot seat at Monday’s council meeting about an ad in the Auburn Reporter for a new City attorney. John Jones asked Sun why the ad was placed when the City has a contract with Kenyon Luce to provide legal services for the City. “Who directed the request for a City attorney’s services?” Jones said, adding that he didn’t “remember any council meeting that we have had a council conversation related to requiring new City attorney services.” According to Sun, he directed the City clerk to place the ad because his personal attorney told him “there is a possibility that we would have to hire a new attorney.” Back in June Sun tried to fire Luce, giving him 30-days notice. The council responded by passing Ordinance 12-1826, wresting control of the hiring and firing of the City’s legal representative from the mayor by switching the position to a contract employee position, which requires a vote of council for hiring and firing. Sun responded to Jones’ inquiry by telling the council that he doesn’t “consider Mr. Luce as my attorney for the City because we have an impasse.” “We have a problem,” Sun said. “And I don’t want to bring that into this council meeting. That’s something that is foreign and away from this council meeting.”

said. “He’s just not overly popular.” In addition to accusations regarding Hulsey’s service, Sun’s blog dredged up the councilmember’s 1978 conviction for second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his wife. Hulsey was sentenced to 20 years in prison and paroled eight years later. In 1992 the state Sentence Review Board determined he had fulfilled the terms of his supervision and parole and restored his civil rights. “It’s true. I spent time in prison. I took somebody’s life,” Hulsey said in the March 2 Auburn Reporter. “I don’t hide from it, but I’m not going to tattoo it on my forehead, either.” As far as the latest round of accusations goes, Hulsey said he doesn’t take it personally. “I’ve been in politics long enough,” Hulsey said. “I get up in the morning and shower with Armor All and go about my day. I feel like I’ve done a good job on the council, and I’m still an advocate for veterans and seniors. (Sun) comes off the wall with stuff a lot. I just figured it was more of it. He’s in a situation where he’s getting frustrated, and it’s all closing in on him and he’s striking out.”

We didn’t just witness it. We were called to confront it every day.” – Gov. Chris Gregoire, on her farewell state of the state address to the Legislature.

Shedding tears for a great season Last Sunday was an emotional day in the Skager household. For the last six months our Sunday routine has revolved around our beloved Seahawks. Now the ride that was the team’s 12-6 run – including a magnificent 24-14 come-frombehind playoff win on the road against the Redskins and an almost as glorious comeback at Atlanta that fell just short with a 30-28 loss – was over. After the loss my 14-year-old son and fervent 12th man Conner, was devastated. As I consoled him by pointing out how blessed we were to cheer on our home team as they BeastModed (hey, I’m a professional writer … I can verb a word if I want) their way through a slew of unsuspecting victims, slaying powerhouses like the 49ers, the Packers and the Patriots, the tears begin to flow from his eyes. I must confess that at first I was a little taken aback by the outpouring of emotion. I’m not typically opposed to an outpouring of emotion, it’s just that I’ve never invested that much in a team or sporting event. And trust me, growing up as a Broncos fan in the late ’70s and ’80s, I had plenty of opportunities to ball (five Super Bowl trips, five losses. C’mon! In fact, if there was ever a time I came close to crying it was in 1998 when Denver finally won the Super Bowl). I realized at that moment, watching Conner tear up over the fate of his team, that I just never had that passion when it came to sports. I just never let it all go, poured all my emotion into a team like Conner had this season with the Seahawks. Perhaps it’s what makes me a good sportswriter, the ability to step away from the emotion of the game, to observe in a detached way and report on the emotion I witness.

Trojans’ mighty run This season the Seahawks were not the only surprising football team I had the pleasure of watching. As I watched Conner cry I thought back to a day not so long ago in the Tacoma Dome, when the Auburn Trojan football team gathered on the turf after losing their 4A semifinal match 21-19 to Bellarmine Prep. There were tears then as well. “It hurts because of how much time you put into it,” Trojans coach Gordon Elliott told his team. Just a year removed from a 4-6 season, the warriors of Troy, much like the Seahawks, surprised everybody by making it further than anyone would have expected before the first game of the season. And although there is no denying that athletic talent and good coaching played a vital role in both teams’ seasons, it was the passion, the buy-in of the [ more SKAGER page 11 ]

Consider a village in our downtown Members of my family have lived in Auburn for six generations. I love our little city with its rivers, parks, schools, neighborhoods, college, museum, diversity, inclusiveness and all sorts of other attributes. Yet, I get discouraged when I drive down Main Street and see so many parcels of land empty of buildings. It seems to me that we do not need more retail space or restaurants; we have plenty. We don’t need another Kent Station; we have the Supermall. What we need is housing, a downtown condominium and apartment village. I’m not thinking two-story units, I’m thinking of well-designed buildings which are three or four stories high. Think of the amenities. People living in a downtown

citizens have repeatedly, strongly requested that these officers be hired, but Mayor Sun refuses to do so. He always uses the excuse that he is studying the issue but he never acts. This is deliberate stalling. He has no intention to adequately staff the police department. Ever. Has anyone else noticed that the police officers, who used to park in front of Alpac Elementary before and after school to deter speeding on Milwaukee Boulevard, have not been doing so for some time now? It is because there are no patrolmen available. Ask the crossing guard about the speeding cars kids have to dodge daily. She sees the difference from when there was daily traffic enforcement. The speeders know that they can get away with it as they race past the school and then Sun’s nearby house. Call Cy Sun. Ask him to please attend the next City Council meeting and DONATE TODAY: Auburn Food Bank, 930 18th Place NE.

explain to the citizens why protecting us and our children is not a priority for him. It is for everyone else in this community. If there is an intruder alert at Alpac Elementary, how can our police department respond effectively with no patrolmen or seriously overworked patrolmen on duty? Think about this. The City Council and our police department staff want to protect the kids. The money for these officers was budgeted last year and is also in the 2013 budget. There is absolutely no excuse for Cy Sun’s deliberate inaction and complete lack of regard for public safety for the citizens of Pacific. Cy Sun usually leaves City Council meetings in an indignant huff when he is confronted by the citizens about his lack of action or when he is requested to explain his actions. He is truly afraid to have a backand-forth discussion with citizens in a public forum. When the going gets tough “there goes Cy Sun out the door and running for home.” Do not let that deter you from showing up and speaking your mind. – DuWayne Gratz

The next time your grandchild sits down to playa computer game, ask if you can play too. In addition to enjoying some quality playtime with your grandchild, you might also be doing yourself a favor by playing computer games. The fact is that computer games challenge the brain in ways that help develop new neural pathways. As a result, senior gamers may find that they preserve their brain power and stave off memory loss at the same time. There are brain fitness programs that can be played on computers that actually have been proven to improve seniors’ memory and language skills. Just like a muscle, the more you use your brain, the stronger it gets. Games played on the computer and with others stimulate the mind, and help keep it active. At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we encourage our seniors to participate in games, and we offer a wide variety to appeal to all levels and interests.

ARE YOU GAME?

State Sen. Pam Roach (R-rural Auburn) violated a Senate policy forbidding her to have direct contact with staff not long after she was allowed back into the GOP caucus last spring. So says a report compiled by a subcom- Roach mittee last summer to investigate incidents that involved Roach, who had been kicked out of her caucus three years ago on the heels of accusations that she had been mistreating staff.

Special visit

As reported by the Associated Press, the recent report says Roach verbally attacked a Senate Republican staffer whose job was to uphold sanctions that were to prevent her from having direct contact with staff. Roach said she could only speculate on what the committee was referencing as she had not seen the report. “I still have not seen it, nobody has transmitted anything to me, nothing,” Roach said Tuesday. “I have no written material at all. … It’s hard to believe that this is what’s happening in the Washington State Senate. It allows people to be kicked around without any recourse.”

Healthy Living Study: We live longer, but with unhealthy factors Americans are living longer due to several medical advances, but unhealthy behavior and preventable illness threaten quality of life, according to United Health Foundation’s 2012 America’s Health Rankings. While premature cardiovascular and cancer deaths have declined since 1990 by 18.0 percent, 34.6 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, Americans are experiencing troubling levels of obesity (27.8 percent of the adult population), diabetes (9.5 percent of the adult population),

The route to that public vote is a citizen petition or a city council resolution. A MPD may be inside or outside a city’s boundaries. If it’s inside, a city does not have to present its case to a county boundary review board. An MPD is its own taxing authority. It levies taxes, does its own financial reporting and has its

An MPD can go out and, by garnering a supermajority of the turnout in the most recent election, issue voted debt of up to 2.5 percent of assessed value.

one of the lowest smoking rates in the U.S. at 17.5 percent of the adult population; however, more than 900,000 adults still smoke.

A recent UnitedHealthcare report finds that, similar to every other state, Washington has its share of strengths and challenges.

Washington’s challenges

Washington’s strengths • Low prevalence of low birthrate: Washington had the lowest rate of low birth weight in the U.S., with 6.3 percent of live births considered low weight. • Low rate of preventable hospitalizations: The rate of preventable hospitalizations declined from 51.9 to 46.4 discharges per 1,000 Medicare enrollee in the past five years. • Low prevalence of smoking: Washington has for UnitedHealthcare Northwest. “By identifying the key opportunities we face as a state, we can pursue innovative solutions to

The important thing there, Coleman said, is that the 50-cent gap between the total statutory limit of $10 and $9.50 means that there is capacity for another junior taxing district. “I think that’s a very important thing to know, that there is capacity there,” Coleman said. Coleman said the City would lose about $2 million in revenue and about $7 million in costs, with a net benefit to the City of about $5 million. Coleman said her study of the subject had encompassed the entire

• High prevalence of obesity: Almost 1.4 million adults, or 26.5 percent of the adult population, are obese in Washington. • Low immunization coverage: Washington ranks 39th in the U.S. for immunization coverage, with 87.7 percent of children ages 19 to 35 months covered. • Children in poverty are on the rise: In the past 10 years, the percentage of children in poverty increased from 10.5 percent to 18.9 percent. It was 16.1 percent last year. to ninth in 2011 when compared with the health of other states. To learn more, visit www.unitedhealthfoundation.org.

Coleman said an MPD maintains the existing programs city residents want and maintains the parks as they are now. It also would create a vehicle to go out and issue debt for new facilities, if that’s what the people wanted. And it would free up funds for transportation improvements. “My biggest concern,” Backus said, “is that people are going to say,

‘I have that now, now you are threatening to take it away from me, or charge me to keep it.’ I am all for getting our roads done and maintaining our great parks, but I am having difficulties looking at this as a full positive.” “The bottom line,” said Councilman John Holman, “is that taxes would go up 75 cents per thousand.”

[ FILM from page 1 ] Portrayals and Participation, Onscreen and Behind the Scene” 7 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Auburn Library. The program is a conversation on how movies have shaped the public’s views on Native Americans. “This talk emerged from work I did in the American Indian studies department at the University of Washington,” Rhoades explained. “I teach film from the silent era all the way to the present, and what I’ve noticed is the presence of Indians throughout the history of film. And we see the pendulum swing from one stereotype to another. Very rarely do we see something closer to the truth.” In the first 50 years of filmmaking in America, beginning with the first silent movies, more than 25 percent of all films made were Westerns. During that time two main stereotypes pervaded the portrayal of Native Americans in movies. “One was the noble savage, the gentle wise man close to nature who admires

or respects one or two of the white people he encounters and shares his wisdom with them and often becomes somewhat subservient to them,” Rhoades said. The other common stereotype is the vicious bloodthirsty savage, an obstacle to the progress of white pioneers as they move west, Rhoades said. Once sound was added to movies in the 1920s, the stereotypes become even more embedded in Hollywood, Rhoades said. “Once people on the screen begin to talk, the Indian becomes a comical, guttural, pidgin Englishspeaking person, or someone who is screaming and yelling horrible war cries all the time,” he said. Rhoades added that until the 1960s Native Americans didn’t even portray themselves in most Westerns. “By the 1940s the practice of white actors wearing blackface (to portray African Americans) became distasteful,” he said. “But the practice of white actors portraying Indians

remained. We don’t find Indians playing themselves until the 1960s and ’70s.” In the ’60s and ’70s a new wrinkle in Native American stereotypes in films begins to emerge as well. “Then you have the ‘going native fantasy,’” Rhoades said. “With movies like ‘Little Big Man’ and later “Dances With Wolves’.” It isn’t until the independent film boom of the 1990s that contemporary portrayals of Native Americans in movies such as “Smoke Signals” – written by Northwest Native American Sherman Alexie and directed by another American Indian, Chris Eyre – begin to peel back the mask of the stereotypes. “These movies begin to feature Indians not only onscreen, but also behind the camera, presenting stories with authenticity lacking up until this point,” Rhoades said. “And it’s changing still as more and more Indians get behind the camera.” more story online…

Barton takes the plunge for the team By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Things were looking good for the Auburn Mountainview boys swimming and diving team coming into the 2012-13 season. Except for one little problem – no divers. Sure, the team boasted a strong core of returning swimmers – including Cameron Lindsay, the reigning Washington State 3A 100-yard backstroke champion – but with their top diver from last season injured, the Lions were looking at losing points in the diving competition at every meet. “Vitaly Borodulin suffered a concussion early in the year,” coach Justin Pritchard said. “He was practicing at the start of the year and then got hurt. We weren’t sure if he was going to come back this season at all.” Enter sophomore Max Barton. “We put the word out, and a bunch of swimmers that were just going to

place in our first meet, because he was the only diver. That was really exciting.” According to Barton, who turned out for swim-

ming for the first time this year just to get faster for water polo, it was simply a matter of helping out the team. “Our coach told us we were going to lose a lot of points without a diver, so a couple of my friends and me started diving to help the team out,” Barton said. “It stuck with me and I really liked it, so I kept doing it.” Barton said he immediately began working with Auburn Mountainview’s diving coach, Brandon Schreib, to get down the six dives needed to compete. Much to everyone’s surprise, Barton learned the six dives in just two days. “It was rushed but I was surprised by how hard it actually wasn’t,” Barton said. “I thought it would take me a couple of weeks.” Although Barton said he had messed around on the spring board before, taking the plunge just for fun, he’d never actually tried to flip or dive backwards. “At first it was easy with just front dive and front [ more diver page 11 ]

Morgan steps down as Ravens football coach Reporter Staff

Auburn Riverside football coach Bob Morgan has stepped down as head of the school’s football program. According to Auburn Riverside Athletic Director Doug Aubert, the search is on for a new head football coach. Morgan coached for 12 years at Auburn Bob Morgan Riverside, six of them as the head coach. During that time Morgan compiled a 21-34 record, with two playoff appearances. This past season, the Ravens finished tied for last place in the South Puget Sound League North 4A with a 1-9 record. Among the highlights of Morgan’s era was the [ more morgan page 11 ]

front flip. I could do those,” Barton said. “Then [Schreib] had me do a back dive and back flip, and I couldn’t do anything backwards, not even on a trampoline.” After mastering the backwards dives, Barton said, he began working on the more complicated dives. “Then I started working on more than one flip, like the forward one and a half,” Barton said. “I flopped a few times, but after a while it got easier with practice.” Barton said he threw himself wholeheartedly into the practice regime, putting in two hours a day polishing his technique when

there were no meets. “What he did was pretty big,” Pritchard said. “We were going to get rid of diving all together. Here we had a diving coach but no divers. But they all stepped up, and Max is the one that has gotten the furthest so far. I think (he can move on to postseason). We’ve still got a whole month.” Although Borodulin has now returned for the Lions, Barton said he plans to continue to dive. “Our school record for diving, according to the board, is 170,” he said. “And I’m looking to beat that record. My best is 124.”

I loved coaching these kids and I hope them the best of

success in the future. With that said, I will enjoy having more time to spend with my family.” Morgan will still teach algebra at the school. “In his years as head coach Bob has worked very hard to bring success to Auburn Riverside football,” Aubert said. “He finishes his tenure having had a great influence on our athletes and having been a valuable piece of our athletic program. Our thanks to Bob for his passion and service with ARHS football.”

Georgia Merle (Coen) Bollinger born November 16, 1917 passed away peacefully on January 8, 2013 to begin her new adventure hiking the mountains, fields and rivers above. Georgia touched many lives through her volunteer work with the senior center, meals on wheels, community dinner services and her years at Evans drug store. Georgia proudly reigned Pioneer queen of Auburn in 1999. Her greatest joys in life were her family and friends but a day would not go by that you wouldn’t find her with her camera in hand in the great outdoors. Georgia is survived by her two sons Michael and Patrick Bollinger, brothers Jack, Robert and Jerry Coen, 11 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild along with the many relatives that she so cherished. Georgia’s enthusiasm for life resulted in wonderful childhoods and fond memories that will be forever treasured, passed on and incorporated into a great legacy. Georgia will be infinitely missed. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 2pm at the Auburn Free Methodist Church, 1312 2nd Street SE. Online sentiments may be journaled at www.priceheltonfuneralhome.com
