County names preferred site for transfer station

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

King County has identified its preferred alternative for a new recycling and transfer station in South King County.

And it is neither of the two com-

mercial sites in Auburn that had caused so much concern last fall.

According to an email that Pat McLaughlin, division director of King County’s Solid Waste Division, sent to the City of Auburn last Friday, the preferred alterna-

tive is at 28721 W. Valley Highway S., northwest of the 37th Street Northwest and West Valley Highway intersection. King County records describe the site as 222,156 square feet of vacant, industrial land, north of Alaska Span Trans-

portation.

Mayor Pete Lewis said Monday the site has the City’s full support.

“There are things that need to be done there, but, quite frankly, there are things that have needed to be done there for a generation,

and with King County (locating it) there, those things will be done,” Lewis said.

King County put together a committee three years ago to examine and grade its [ more STATION page 7 ]

OPENS FOR TRAINING

Jockey Jennifer Whitaker, above, takes Wasserman, Emerald Downs’ all-time leading earner, for a workout last Friday, the official start of winter training at the Auburn track. Whitaker has been aboard the 11-year-old gelding literally thousands of times the last eight years – in 59 of 74 career races, including six stakes wins, and for virtually every jog, gallop and workout along the way. Whitaker knows Wasserman as well as anyone does. “He’s really happy, he loves it here,” Whitaker said. “He’d rather be here than the farm.” Some 60 horses were on the grounds on a recent foggy Friday morning.

Half-million dollar grant awarded to improve city guardrails The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has awarded a $502,275 grant to the City of Auburn to fund citywide guardrail improvements.

The grant from WSDOT’s 2013 Quick Response Safety Program will funds guardrail installation at the following locations: • Green River Road Southeast, along the west side of the road between the Auburn city limit to the north and 104th Avenue Southeast/ Southeast 304th Way. • R Street Southeast/Kersey Way Southeast along both sides of the road between the White River Bridge and 57th Street Southeast.

• Mountain View Drive Southwest along the south side of the road between West Valley Highway and 56th Avenue South.

The funds will help to advance planned public safety improvements in the city’s roadway system.

The city will advertise for construction this October.

Ambassadors needed for sister city program

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

The Kent-Auburn-Tamba Sister City Association is looking for a few good ambassadors.

Each year, several Kent and Auburn young people are selected to serve as ambassadors to the sister city of Tamba, Japan. The delegation travels to Tamba for 8-10 days in the summer, lives with host families and in turn, entertains its Japanese brothers or sisters back

home for a similar amount of time.

The association invites interested students – grades 8-10 – and their families to apply.

So far Auburn has had no applicants, said Patty Pedrini, youth ambassador chair.

“It can change throughout the years. Sometimes we get a great influx of ambassadors, sometimes there are few,” Pedrini said Specific travel dates are to be determined.

The association will share the

cost of the youth ambassador’s air fare to Japan. Ambassadorship is a two-year commitment for host families.

Youth ambassadors have the chance to experience a different culture while they visit their sister city and stay with their host family.

During this time youth ambassadors are often able to visit museums, see historical sites, participate in community festivals, do a little shopping and maybe even go hiking.

In the past, the international am-

bassadors have had a fun time seeing Washington’s national and state parks, biking, shopping, visiting local cities, and enjoying picnics, plays and sporting events.

Tamba is an agricultural community in the Khogo Prefecture, Hansai region north of Kobe. Kent and Auburn now share a sister city with Tamba after the original town of Kaibara was restructured.

For those interested in applying, contact Pedrini by email at jpjjjped3@comcast.net.

Reichert comes home to better serve citizens

[ from page 1 ] of his own staff who’d been waiting got a good laugh out of it.

Then Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis stepped forward to welcome a local boy home.

“Having an office here does make a great deal of difference to our citizens, so we really do appreciate it,” Lewis said.

Reichert said the new Auburn 8th District office is centrally located for convenient access to the whole community. The City rents the space to the Congressman for $75 a month.

Natasha Mayer, Reichert’s former communications director, explained recently why the Congressman picked Auburn for one of his three offices. The others are in Issaquah and Wenatchee.

“Auburn is the largest city in the 8th, so opening an office there provides better access and gives constituents yet another option for contacting our office. It’s really there to improve and expand outreach,” Mayer said.

City officials took advantage of Reichert’s proximity to bend his ear on matters of local and regional

Auburn City Councilwoman Largo Wales asked for Reichert’s help funding regional transportation projects, especially the extension of State Route 167.

Reichert noted that he has met many times with mayors in the valley and with regional business leaders to talk about SR-167. Given the importance of 167, especially to the Port of Tacoma, he said, taking some of the heat off of Interstate 5 and bringing it down into the valley where warehouses happen to be is “a wise vision” for the community.

Reichert said.

Ralph Ibarra, former diversity liaison for the City of Auburn, urged Reichert to take a leadership role in immigration reform.

“The issue has been languishing way too long,” Reichert agreed. “I think there is a recognition now that the time is right, that people are ready. There’s also a recognition that the entire immigration system is broken, so there needs to be a total reform of the immigration system.

“People need to know that there is a way to become a citizen, and they need to abide by that directive, that legislation and that law. I think there is a lot of agreement,” Reichert said.

The office is open from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Wednesdays.

possibility for funding: structuring language around legislation that would allow a broader use of the harbor maintenance tax, bringing it off of port property and applying it to the infrastructure surrounding the port property.

Doing so, he said, would benefit not only the Port of Tacoma but also the entire area.

The challenge, Reichert said, will come from other ports throughout the country, which have different ideas about how to use the harbor maintenance tax.

“So, we’ll have to push for an understanding of other port cities, that we may not need to dredge here – we don’t – but we have other needs for the harbor maintenance tax, so at least a dialogue is started,”

It’s the place they want to retire to, they’re getting to do this great economic development plan, and the job opening came up,” said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis.

“Good for him. He has done an outstanding job. He and his wife are going to be a real jewel for their community.”

Councilmember Nancy Backus, who as a member and now chair of the Planning and Community Development Committee worked with Sndyer for several years, said he will be missed.

“He’s always been someone that if you see the code and it says ‘x’, he doesn’t say ‘sorry, you can’t do it, this is what it says.’ Kevin is the kind of guy who says, ‘here’s what it says, let’s see how we can make this work.’ And that’s the forward thinking that he’s brought here, and I’m going to miss him so much,” Backus said.

The City will advertise the job nationally.

Before coming to Auburn, Snyder worked in Vancouver, Wash., where he was the director of planning services and principal planner for the consulting firm of Maul Foster and Alongi, Inc., starting the firm’s first corporate business line of service.

Car chase ends in rollover Staff report

Two auto theft suspects’ attempt to elude Auburn police morphed into a high-speed chase that ended with the rollover of the suspects’ vehicle in Fife early Tuesday morning.

Shortly before midnight, Feb. 4, Auburn police received a report of an auto theft in progress.

When the stolen car passed an Auburn officer at Highway 18, the officer followed the stolen car to I-5, waiting for backup officers to arrive.

At some point south of the truck scales on I-5 southbound, the officers turned on their overhead lights to stop the suspect car.

The drive accelerated to high speeds, lost control, and rolled the car in Fife.

Two people were in the vehicle. Their condition is unknown at this time.

The collision was a single car collision, but one other car was damaged from flying debris.

No other injuries or property damage was reported. The Washington State Patrol did not return phone calls for this article.

Well, folks, another Super Bowl has come and gone.

Somehow last Sunday the National Football League once again wedged a game into breaks between commercials to settle the annual question of who the best team is.

And just in case you’re one of those who use the breaks between million dollar commercials to refresh your drink or to pile another plate high with nachos, you missed quite a game, as the Baltimore Ravens fended off the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 to claim the Lombardi Trophy.

That’s right. If you fell into a carbohydrate-induced coma aided by the comfort of that La-Z-Boy recliner during the morethan-30-minute power outage at the New Orleans Superdome and are just now waking up, the 49ers erased a 28-6 deficit and made it a game.

How about that?

After the game I was briefly hopeful that the competitive level of the contest would have been enough to erase a bit of the memory of the hype and hoopla that can overshadow the biggest football game in the world.

Now, however, mere days after the game, I realize that it is in part the hype and hoopla that make the game so memorable. In my earnest, pure football fan heart I wish this weren’t so, but let’s be real here — the circus that played out at this year’s Super Bowl was just too juicy to deny.

So, to appease my pure football fan heart and satisfy my need for sensational human interest stories, I’m going to list a few of the things that I’ll remember about this year’s game, on and off the field.

Grocery store’s departure is a big loss to community Progress? No. It saddened me greatly to learn of the Farmers Market grocery store’s closing.

It had been a fixture of Auburn Way South for just over 10 years and supplied a greatly needed grocery source for that part of town. Although it was small, it had great meat and produce prices. We watched it grow from a simple “dollar”type store to a real little gem of a grocery store that was fun to visit.

After the small QFC store closed up by the casino, it became a very important store for that part of the city. Its departure will now create a hardship for a number of residents and a great inconvenience for many others. There is no other full service, convenient grocery

Alabama, like South Carolina, is a right-to-work state.

Meanwhile, Boeing is opening a third plant in Utah to fabricate tail-section parts for the 787. The Salt Lake City plant will employ 100 people making an average of $65,000 a year.

That brings Boeing’s Utah workforce to roughly 700.

That’s small potatoes compared with the company’s 83,000 workers in the Puget Sound area, but it’s a trend Washington’s elected officials should not ignore.

Utah’s rise to economic prominence didn’t happen overnight. It has been a consistent long-term strategy initiated in 2004 by thenGov. Jon Huntsman and Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert.

Today, aerospace and

aviation companies in Utah employ more than 10,000 people who provide engineering, logistics support and maintenance for several U.S. Air Force jet fighter and cargo aircraft programs, as well as the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.

Janicki Industries, a family-owned cutting edge composite manufacturer headquartered in SedroWoolley, also located a $20 million aerospace plant in Utah to support the company’s work on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.

Janicki is exactly the type of aerospace company Utah targets to recruit because its high-tech precision molds are the future of aerospace.

Herbert, who succeeded Huntsman, cites three areas where his state has a competitive advantage: taxes, labor force and a favorable regulatory climate. Last year, Gov. Herbert initiated a review of the state’s nearly 2,000 administrative rules, eliminating or modifying 368 regulations Herbert

characterized as “a drag on the economy.” Among the other pluses for Utah: energy costs that are 29 percent below the national average.

The Forbes ranking found a clear separation between right-to-work states and those that are not. All but one of the top 10 states has right-to-work laws. Of the bottom 10 states, only one is a right-to-work state.

Washington is unlikely to become a right-to-work state. But to compete with states that are, legislators need to level the playing field by reducing Washington’s regulatory burden and lowering business costs.

Competition for Washington’s aerospace jobs will only intensify in the future, so state lawmakers shouldn’t assume that, just because companies like Boeing and Janicki are here now, they will be here forever.

for his involvement in the stabbing deaths of two men at a club in Atlanta in 2000 and eventually pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice – Lewis did nothing to change the minds of detractors leading up to this year’s game.

Lewis was accused of using deer antler velvet spray to speed his recovery from a torn tricep this season. Deer antler velvet spray is banned as a performance enhancing drug by the NFL. Deer antler velvet spray is also fun to type. Seriously, try it. Deer antler velvet spray. Anyway, Lewis responded by calling the allegations a “trick of the devil” designed to distract him from the task at hand.

Next time Satan should probably try harder. Lewis finished the game, his last as an NFL player, with seven tackles, four solo and three assisted, and, more important, a Super Bowl ring.

Lewis was last seen riding off into the sunset astride a mighty 12-point buck, waving the Lombardi Trophy in the air, hollering, “Take that, Beelzeebub!”

“No matter how you say it, domestic violence is wrong. We must promote public awareness about the resources available for domestic abuse victims.

We must work together as a region to stop violence in all forms.”

– Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer

head coaching brothers Jim (San Francisco) and John (Baltimore) squaring off in a Super Bowl. Here’s a bonus question for you: which brother is the youngest?

If you guessed Jim, based on the sheer amount of attention-seeking tantrums and headphone tossing on the sidelines, you got it right! Jim is 49, John, 50.

Joe Flacco. Before the game much of the tongue wagging about the fifth-year starting quarterback for the Ravens touched on whether he was an elite quarterback. In four games during Baltimore’s playoff run this season, Flacco earned a 117.2 quarterback rating, throwing 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. In New Orleans Flacco finished 22-of-33 in the air with three touchdowns, earning himself the Super Bowl XLVII Most Valuable Player award. Welcome to Club Elite, Mr. Flacco.

Out go the lights. Not exactly sure what happened here, but during the opening minutes of the third quarter half of the power at the Superdome went out. And

stayed out for an agonizing 34 minutes, delaying the game. Although the cause of the outage is still under investigation, reports are that an abnormality was detected in the power system, triggering an automatic shutdown. Personally, I’m thinking that the whereabouts of all employees of CBS TV – the network that aired the game – should be verified. With 30 seconds of commercial air time ringing up an average of $4 million, the extra commercial time must have been a boon for the network. Just saying.

Jacoby Jones’ return. The Baltimore speedster and kick returner made history with the longest return in the history of the Super Bowl. Jones took the opening kickoff of the second half on Bourbon Street and returned it 1.4 miles for a touchdown. OK, 108 yards, but that’s still a long, long way.

Ray Lewis. The final thing I think I’ll remember about this year’s game was the Saga of Ray Lewis. Always a controversial figure because of his troubled past – Lewis was indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges

[ letters from page 5 ] The students really made a tremendous impact in our community.

Their efforts resulted in only having a half a can of trash after serving dinner to the whole Auburn High cafeteria full of people.

They had four large

containers of compostable materials and one container of recycling. These students really made a difference in our community and in my own personal knowledge about how to compost.

Alaura Keith should be recognized for outstanding leadership as well as

teaching our students about the environment and the importance of supporting our global community. The students are truly blessed to have such a caring teacher.

Thank you, Lakeland Hills Green Club. You are amazing.

Maija McKnight, City of Auburn Arts coordinator, hangs artwork for February’s featured artists – John Breitweiser and Kathy Lobdell – in the City Hall Gallery, 25 West Main St. Auburn’s Parks, Arts & Recreation Department changes the City Hall Gallery every month to display the artwork of regional artists.

transfer stations. Its members examined the stations and stamped many of them “deficient.” The Algona station, built in the 1960s, was dunned for lacking space for vehicles to line up, extended wait times, inability to compact garbage, absence of recycling services and other “service deficiencies.”

King County’s Solid Waste Transfer and Waste Management Plan then called for the Algona station’s replacement.

King County’s list still includes the unpopular alternative of 1380 C St. NW east of the Supermall and southwest of the Longhorn Barbecue among its top three options. The other is 35101 W. Valley Highway S. in Algona.

All of the sites will require environmental review.

Auburn’s City Council last fall formally opposed both the site near the Supermall and another west of Lowe’s, northwest of Fred Meyer and south of the Auburn Day Care center.

The latter is no longer an alternative.

The preferred alternative site of the future transfer station is in the northern

that area sees that as a positive, as something that they are looking forward to, and as something that works out very well,” Lewis said.

Even though the West Valley site is the preferred option right now, its selection is by no means a done deal.

King County, McLaughlin said, will base its final decision on several considerations, among them the results of an environmental impact statement (EIS), an economic impact analysis, consideration of equity and social justice, comments from the public, from agencies and from elected officials and the site’s compatibility with regional policies. It will be subject as well to the regulatory land use permitting process of its host city, Auburn.

The public comment period on the scope of the EIS is Feb. 7-28. Those comments along with the scoping comments already received on the other two potential sites will play a role in determining the extent of the evaluation done in the EIS. King County records list the landowner as North Creek Capital, LLC.

portion of Auburn’s Innovative Partnership Zone or IPZ, McLaughlin noted, an area the City established in 2012 to foster economic development.

“It is the division’s understanding in working with the City of Auburn that Alternative 3 has more opportunity than the other two alternatives to attract ‘green’ economic development, and that a recycling/ transfer facility could be a key component of such development,” McLaughlin wrote.

Doug Lein, Auburn’s economic development director, said the owner came forward and said he would like to offer his site to King County’s Solid Waste Division.

“A developer was already down the development process on the property,” Lein said, “had a completed SEPA application already approved and wetland studies. There was a lot of activity already done, which would have to be done on the other locations.”

Lewis said the City had advised King County about the site last fall.

“I think it’s going to prove, as we’ve already seen, that everybody involved in

The most beautiful gift is time together

If you only have a few hours to spare to be together alone, many spas offer package deals that allow couples to relax with one another in baths, pools, and saunas. Massages and other body care treatments are also available to lovers who would like to spoil each other.

A romantic dinner for two at a good restaurant is another great way to highlight this special day. Chefs usually try to be especially creative for Valentine’s Day in order to offer couples delicious menus featuring aphrodisiacs and gourmet treats that they wouldn’t find at home. Your taste buds will fall in love again too!

If you have a bit more time, a stay at a pretty country inn, a charming bed and breakfast, or a chic hotel is sure to please any couple wanting to treat themselves to the luxury of time together.

Relaxation, sharing, happiness, and discovery are all on the program. Combine them with activities that both of you enjoy, such as walks or drives down memory lane, nature walks, or wine and chocolate tastings.

No matter how you do it, planning a romantic interlude will allow you to share some cherished moments that you and your loved one will remember for years to come.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is a favourite celebration for lovers around the planet. So much more than just another date on the calendar, February 14 is the perfect excuse to devote some time to each other.

West’s league title lifts Auburn

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn senior James West captured the South Puget Sound League North 4A 182-pound title at last weekend’s sub-regional tournament at Kent-Meridian High School.

West swept through the competition in his weight class, winning all three of his matches by pin, including the title match against Kentridge’s Zach Seibel.

West moved into fifth place alltime in pins in the 50-year history of Auburn wrestling, according to Trojans coach Dennis Herren. He has 24 pins with regionals and state matches remaining this season.

West’s performance helped Auburn grab fifth place in the team competition with 196.5 points.

Tahoma easily won the team title with 411 points. Kentwood was second with 291.5.

The Trojans also got second-place finishes from freshman Drew Aplin at 106 and senior Josh Tate at 152.

Also moving on to the regional competition for Auburn are sophomore Balteer Rana (fourth at 106), junior Tyson Gaillac (third at 132), senior Seth Mizoguchi (third at 160), sophomore Mario Luevana (third at 220) and sophomore Sam Lindsay (third at 170).

“It’s exciting that a freshman, Drew Aplin, made the finals and two sophomores also placed in the top three,” Herren said. “That was a big help from the underclassmen for the seniors. Almost every guy placed higher than he was seeded coming into the meet, and we’re moving on

Lions’ 200 medley relay posts state qualifying time Reporter staff

The records keep falling for the Auburn Mountainview boys swimming and diving team.

The Lions’ 200-yard medley relay team set a school record with a firstplace time of 1 minute, 42.99 seconds at the South Puget Sound League 3A swimming championships at Lakes High School on Saturday.

The finish qualifies the foursome – Cameron Lindsay, Jourdan Rogers, John Kyle Davis and Luke Lavine – for this week’s West Central District III 3A meet at the Hazen Pool in Renton, and the state 3A championships Feb. 15-16 at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. The Lions’ 400 and 200 free relay teams have already earned state berths with

qualifying times of 3:26.42 and 1:33.52, respectively.

At the league meet, Auburn Mountainview also captured the 200 individual medley, with Lindsay swimming to a 1:58.99 finish.

Lindsay already has earned a state berth in the event with a 1:57.80 time posted earlier this season.

Lindsay, the reigning state 3A 100 backstroke champion, qualified for state in that event earlier this season with an All-American consideration time of 51.29.

Also finishing first at the league meet was Davis, who delivered a time of 57.34 in the 100 butterfly.

In the team competition, the Lions finished third with 404 points. Enumclaw was first with 453.5, followed by Peninsula with 424.5 points.

The district meet begins at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Finals start at 5 p.m. Saturday.

How to treat, prevent the stomach flu

Great Places to Eat!

The stomach flu, or officially viral gastroenteritis, is very common between November and April.

This year the norovirus is especially virulent, causing widespread infections. Each year about 21 million people contract this illness, and of this amount about 800 will die.

This virus is highly contagious. Exposure to just 10 viral particles will make you sick (infected body fluids contain 100 million particles). You can contract the virus by direct contact with an infected individual, by touching a contaminated surface (i.e., countertop, door knob, shopping cart), or by ingesting contaminated food or water.

Symptoms develop quickly, and consist of: stomach or intestinal pain, nausea, projectile vomiting and watery diarrhea. You are contagious at the first signs of symptoms and for up to two weeks.

Since this illness is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not help. Treatment consists of fluid replacements, as excessive vomiting and diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration.

Once the nausea subsides, begin sipping clear fluids (i.e., water, juice, flat 7 Up, Gatorade) and gradually increase.

The typical healthy man needs three liters of water a day, women 2.2 liters a day. Next, try soup; chicken noodle soup is great, as it contains a naturally antiinflammatory. Thereafter, try eating bland foods (i.e., toast, rice, potatoes).

If you are not better in one or two days or are unable to keep any fluids or food down, see a doctor (Primary Care physician, Urgent Care, local hospital emergency department) as you may require IV fluids and anti-emetic treatment. Again, dehydration can be a serious medical condition, especially for the very young and old.

Prevention is the key to avoiding contracting this illness and passing it on to others. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly throughout the day. A good rule to follow is to just keep your hands away from your face to help prevent inoculating yourself.

This virus can withstand freezing temperatures and heat up to 140 degrees.

Therefore, disinfecting surfaces is very important: use one-third cup bleach in one gallon of water for wiping down smooth surfaces (i.e., countertops, sinks, toilets, door knobs). And, one tablespoon of bleach in one gallon of water for disinfecting stainless steel surfaces and non-cloth toys.

Since this virus also can be found on fruits and vegetables, thoroughly wash these foods before consuming, and cook shellfish completely.

No More Pain, Just Elation

4 YEARS

STRAIGHT

A retired teacher, Elizabeth now enjoys a parttime job at a large home improvement store.

However it’s physically demanding work: carrying paint cans, walking miles on cement floors, lifting merchandise and stocking shelves. Over several years, degenerative arthritis caused Elizabeth’s knee to bow, requiring a brace, increasing her pain and diminishing her world. Everything was a burden, even the job she loved. After knee replacement at The Joint Center, Elizabeth is thrilled. Back to work, her new knee allows easy movement. “I’ve already forgotten the pain. Aesthetically my leg is straight and I have great range of motion. I’m so excited!”

With more than 11,000 joint replacement surgeries performed, Washington’s first joint center is also the state’s best, according to HealthGrades® for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013—and has received its Five-Star Rating in Joint Replacement for eleven consecutive years.

State-of-the-art surgical techniques and implant selection, all-private rooms on a dedicated floor in our South Tower, attentive care and personalized therapy, and the success of nearly 1300 surgeries performed just last year make The Joint Center your top choice for joint replacement.
