It’s Backus, Partridge for mayor

By Robert Whale rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The whoop went up just after 8:15 p.m., in the tiny, crowded backroom of Oddfellas Pub & Eatery, after one of Nancy Backus’ supporters announced the first King County results of Tuesday’s primary election to choose the two Auburn mayoral candidates for the Nov. 5 general election.

INSIDE: Two Pacific City Council races up for grabs; early returns, page 3

“… Backus 3,139, John Partridge, 2,460, Scot Pondelick 964,” the voice rose above an already rising din. …” That’s 47.63 percent for Nancy, 37.32 for Partridge, 14.63 percent for Pondelick.”

Twenty seconds of cheers and hol-

lering swallowed up the tail end of the summation.

Backus, a member of the City Council since 2004, overcome by the enormity of this moment in her life, let the tears flow freely.

If the results hold, Backus and fellow Councilmember Partridge will [ more PRIMARY page 3 ]

“They’re doing a phenomenal job,” Newman said of Lydig Con-

The City will soon augment its police force by hiring five new full-time officers, bringing the number of officers from 100 to 105.

Monday’s decision of the Auburn City Council is the product of lengthy Lewis negotiations between City officials and union representatives of the collective bargaining units representing the police.

“This is … the first time we’ve had a significant increase in our police force since 2008, and it’s because of the work of a good number of people in the City that we are able to increase that number,” said Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus.

Guier, Cave, Knudtson, Nitschke leading in race for 2 Pacific City Council positions

Pacific to vote on marijuana moratorium extension The Pacific City Council hosts a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Monday to consider comments from residents regarding a six-month extension of the moratorium on marijuana businesses in city limits.

At the regularly scheduled meeting after the hearing. the council will vote on the ordinance extending the moratorium, which prohibits any medical marijuana collective gardens, as well as any businesses that produce, process or retail marijuana in the city.

According to interim Public Works Director Ken Barnett, the moratorium is a stop gap to allow the city to draft an ordinance that will lay down the guidelines for any future marijuana businesses in the city.

The first tallies from Tuesday’s primary election are in for a pair of Pacific City Council races, with initial results indicating Mayor Leanne Guier and Vic Cave will move on to the general election in one race and Stacy May Knudtson and Gary Nitschke will move on in the other.

In the Position 4 race for the seat formerly held by Guier, Cave has a slim lead with 187 votes or 36.6 percent.

Guier, who would have to step down as mayor to accept her former council seat, has 167 or 33.2 percent of the vote, and Dave Stookey is the odd man out with 145 or 28.6 percent.

In the Position 5 race, Knudtson is the front-runner for Councilmember James McMahan’s seat with 183 votes,

or 36.51 percent of the vote. McMahan is stepping down after his term expires.

Nitschke is second in the voting with 167 votes or 33.67 percent. Stacy D. Jackson, Sr. trails with 141 votes or 27.79 percent.

The 538 ballots counted as of 8 p.m.

Tuesday represent about 18.44 percent of the 2,873 ballots sent to registered voters in Pacific. And with ballots still left to be counted, according to the King County Elections department, results could change in the tight races in Pacific.

State high court upholds man’s murder conviction Staff Reports

The Washington Supreme Court last week upheld the 2009 conviction of a man who shot to death an Auburn resident during an attempted drug robbery five years ago.

In 2009 a King County jury found Kirk Ricardo Saintcalle guilty of first-degree murder and of three counts of seconddegree assault for the slaying of Anthony Manzo Johnson at

his girlfriend Tamara Johnson’s apartment on Feb. 9, 2007.

Saintcalle was later sentenced to 48 years and three months in prison.

Saintcalle’s attorney argued before the justices that at the start of his client’s trial prosecutors had struck the only potential black juror from the jury pool.

Eight of the justices voted to uphold the conviction, although several of them said that,

conscious or not, race is often a factor in peremptory challenges to dismiss potential jurors from cases.

“Peremptory challenges are used in trial courts throughout this state, often based largely or entirely on racial stereotypes or generalizations. As a result, many qualified persons in this state are being excluded from jury service because of race,” wrote Justice Steven Gonzalez.

But Gonzalez was alone in

[ OFFICERS from page 1 ] to keep them. and Bill Peloza worked closely with staff of Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee, Finance Director Shelley Coleman, and Human Resources Director Brenda Heineman for almost a year to bring the City to Monday’s budget amendment.

The City found the $258,430 it will need for those hires by amending its 2013-2014 biennial budget ordinance.

Mayor Pete Lewis said Auburn had also been set by the end of 2013, to lose five grant-funded police officers, but a recently awarded grant will allow it

“We were worried about going from 100 officers to 95, but we got in on the grant so that we could ask for these five grant-funded officers to be retained,” Lewis said.

“In addition, this gives us an authorization for an additional five officers we can look for right now.

And we can look for laterals to bring ourselves up.

“Our officers worked so hard, this is everything,” Lewis added. “Not only are the citizens going to see a result, but our officers are going to see the increased support by their City, City Council and citizens.”

Traffic revisions begin Monday, near the intersection of 17th Street Southeast and A Street Southeast in Auburn to enable King County construction contractors to install a new sewer pipeline.

Work is scheduled for weekdays between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and should last through Aug. 26.

During this time, 17th Street Southeast will be closed except for local access, with detours via F Street Southeast, 12th Street Southeast, and 21st Street Southeast. Traffic on A Street Southeast will be reduced to one lane in either direction between 15th Street Southeast and 21st Street Southeast.

Access to residences and businesses within the project area will be maintained throughout construction, but people should allow extra time for commuting and follow signage instructions.

It’s pretty mind boggling.” – Mike Newman, Auburn School District deputy superintendent, on the swift construction of the new Auburn High School.

Public transit: Why it’s essential, and upcoming changes in South King County Thousands of people throughout South King County ride public transit every day.

Many of these riders do not own cars and depend upon buses and trains to get to work and school and to access essential goods and services such as groceries and healthcare.

I have fought for quality transit for South King County throughout my career because of the many benefits that transit provides and the difficulties that our community would face without access to transit services. This op-ed explores the need for transit, highlights upcoming changes for South County riders, and warns of possible service cuts to King County Metro due to budget challenges.

Our public transit system is run by two governments – Sound Transit and King County – each serving distinct roles to provide quality service. Sound Transit provides regional long distance services throughout King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties, whereas King County Metro provides local transit options with more stops within King County. Together these agencies provide more than 470,000 rides in King County each weekday.

Without our transit system, many people would be unable to get to work and school, resulting in significant negative impacts to our economy. Transit also reduces traffic congestion and provides environmental benefits for everyone – not just transit riders.

Metro services take approximately 175,000 vehicles off our roads each weekday because people use transit instead of driving. Without public transit, these cars would squeeze onto our roadways, adding pollution to the environment and slowing the speed of traffic due to crowding.

There are changes coming designed to improve transit service and increase ridership. As vice chair of Sound Transit’s board of directors, I am particularly excited about two Sound Transit projects that have recently begun construction. Tukwila’s permanent Sounder station will open next year and replace the temporary heavy rail station that has existed for more than a decade. The station will serve the Green River Valley corridor, with approximately 1,300 boardings taking place each weekday.

Sound Transit is also building a new Angle Lake Link light rail station at south 200th street in SeaTac that will begin operation in 2016. This station will serve more than 5,000 passengers per day and benefit the entire community with businesses located on the ground level and a plaza for community gatherings.

All over town we now see speed bumps to control the speed of those who break the law. They are a great inconvenience to the many lawabiding citizens of our city and do nothing to catch or penalize speeders.

In addition, the many yellow signs warning us of these speed bumps are an eyesore. They certainly do nothing to enhance the looks of our city. Compare this to the wonderful scene of trees planted along the recently opened M Street underpass.

At one time Auburn was called “Little Detroit of the West” (an epiphany). Let us not change this to the “Little Speed Bump City of the West.”

The spread of powerful cameras capable of reading license plates has been in use in many countries for years. Much of the money for installing them may come from federal grants.

Invasion of privacy you say?

There are many safeguards.

Besides we are dealing with only minor offenses with possible serious consequences.

Nancy is one of the most dedicated, honest, hardworking public servants that I have had the opportunity to work with. She takes the time to learn about the issue at hand, form a well-rounded opinion by hearing both sides of the story and made a decision based on what is right, not what she is told. It is clear that she has a true passion for the community in which she lives and serves and the experience needed to take Auburn into the future.

As a “part-time” councilmember, Nancy spends countless hours of her personal time for the betterment of her community. As Auburn’s representative on various boards and committees Nancy fosters much needed relationships with other community leaders

and helps bring back ideas and opportunities to our community. As a board member with Valley Regional Fire Authority she has attended the Fire Ops 101 training designed to help policymakers understand the difficult jobs that our firefighters face everyday.

It is clear that Nancy puts her community at the top of her priority list, and that is why she has my full support to become Auburn’s next mayor.

How comfortable are we beyond our boundaries?

As a nation, we appear to be forever condemned to veer in foreign affairs matters between the equally unacceptable poles of Chicken Little and Pollyanna.

Shutting down scores of foreign embassies overseas is, depending on which of these fictional characters you wish to emulate, a decidedly wise move or else is an example of how shriveled up our global ambitions have become.

We bestrode the world with nearly-boundless confidence for the first few decades after World War II. Now, by way of contrast, Americans are carefully instructed to regard all foreign things (and even a few domestic things) with nearparanoid suspicion.

So what do we do to navigate our way through this maze that’s been thrown [ more letters page 6 ]

Garden”. The setting is an intimate living room over the same weekend.

Ayckbourn is best known for finding humor and true emotion in the unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and, at times, desperation of his recognizable, middle-class British characters.

“It’s a lot of fun to do a character in a different play or to do it again, even in the same one, because you find stuff that you didn’t know was there (before in performing the role),” said Brooks Farr. The seasoned actor portrays Tom, Annie’s next-door-neighbor.

Justin Hopkins returns to the role of Norman, a complex, emotionally damaged and stunted

man who wants everyone to love him but doesn’t know how to gain the affection.

“He has seven different emotions for every scene. The trick is trying to harness all of his energy and focus it in different directions at the same time,” said Hopkins, a 1996 Auburn High graduate who works today as a producer for KOMO-4 News.

To play the role of Ruth, Norman’s wife, Fouhy turned to his assistant director and company manager. Leilani Saper, who has been an actress since she was 8, earned her degree in theater at the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts and worked for three years with the Seattle Shakespeare Company.

[ PATTERSON from page 5 ] the Tukwila International Beginning June 2014, Metro will replace bus route 140 with the new RapidRide F-Line. This bus service will run between Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila and Renton, including servicing the Renton Boeing facility. RapidRide is efficient bus service that arrives at least every 10 minutes during peak hours with unique buses allowing passengers to easily get on and off. The RapidRide ALine – which runs between

Boulevard Station and the Federal Way Transit Center – is an example of RapidRide’s current success. Since the A-Line replaced route 174 in October 2010, Metro has seen a 57-percent ridership increase.

More concerning news regarding Metro pertains to potential route changes and eliminations due to a budget shortfall. Metro relies upon sales tax revenue, which drastically decreased during the Great Reces-

Justin Hopkins returns to play Norman and Leilani Saper portrays Ruth in the Auburn Mountainview Alumni Theater Company’s production of “Living Together”. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter Saper was eager to step into one of the leading roles.

“I absolutely love it,” Saper said. “(Ruth) obviously is very harsh, not very warm. … To find

The state Senate recently failed to pass a transportation package during the legislative session that would have alleviated these potential cuts.

that harshness with her and to balance it out with something that makes her appealing and nice (is challenging). There is some reason why Norman loves her, and there’s some reason why she hasn’t completely ostracized herself from her family.”

Fouhy and his cast plan to perform Ayckbourn’s complete trilogy next year, designating one play – “Round and Round the Garden”, “Living Together” and “Table Manners” – each night.

This is an indication that quality transit is important now more than ever.

The summer theater company is composed of actors, actresses and artists who graduated from Auburn-area high schools. The diverse cast, under Fouhy, assembles each summer to perform a benefit show.

Proceeds from ticket sales support the school’s drama students scholarship fund.

“It’s a really funny show. … I love the idea of these summer shows, getting back together with all these fun actors,” Hopkins said. “It’s a lot of time, effort and input, but it’s all for a good cause.”

Are we being manipulated cynically into accepting garrison-state precautionary measures, or are we on the other hand not nearly ruthless enough in our quest for Fortress America?

That such questions even need to be asked is bitterly unfortunate.

In partnership with official advisors, including staff from the US Departments of Education and Health and Human Services; and partners including CNN, The Anti-Defamation League, the Pacer Foundation, and nationally recognized academic experts, the bullying prevention campaign aims to put a stop to this common and serious problem.

The pro-social campaign is offering these tips for parents and kids to help stop bullying in their schools: • Tell an adult: When someone gets bullied, tell a parent, teacher or trusted adult. Talking about it isn’t tattling or snitching. It’s helping someone out.

• Be friendly: Bullying can make a victim feel alienated and lonely. Saying a few kind words to the person who has been bullied makes a huge difference.

• Volunteer: Your school’s bullying prevention program needs parents and students to help encourage everyone to speak up against bullying.

• Say it loud: Ask your school to fly or display the official Stop Bullying: Speak Up flag, which indicates that the school is a place where bullying actions will not be tolerated.

• Learn more: Free online resources can help you learn how to deal with bullies. Visit www.StopBullyingSpeakUp.com to access public service announcements, two 30-minute documentaries and tips sheets for parents and teachers that offer a step-by-step guide

[ SCHOOL from page 1 ] District voters approved the $110 million construction bond last November, the district’s third attempt to pass the measure.

Among the project design features are: • A new and prominent front entry on East Main Street.

• Direct access to and easily visibility of the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and main gymnasium from 4th Street Northeast.

• Expansion of on-site parking stalls from 315 to more than 600.

• A large parking lot adjacent to the main gym, the PAC and Auburn Pool, directly across the street from

Auburn Memorial Stadium.

• An off-street bus loading area.

• New synthetic turf baseball and softball fields.

• All buildings under one roof.

• Improved energy efficiency.

• New classroom and building technology.

• A large student commons.

• A modernized PAC with a new front entry plaza and drop-off area, a new lobby and delivery area, new theater seats, upgraded

lighting and sound systems, improved access for the disabled, seismic upgrades, and more restrooms.

The aging high school is no longer cost-effective to operate and maintain.

Today, its replacement is out of the ground. Perhaps as early as the close of this week parts of the roof could be up on the first part of the structure, the section nearest to the PAC. “It’s a concrete block, but they just really went to town on it this past week,” Newman said. “It was

exciting to see that. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing steel standing up later this week.

They’ve been delivering it for a week now.”

Lydig has told the district that it expects that by the end of October the project will be “buttoned up” with the roof on. Work will continue without a break until next September.

“Here’s the scary part,” Newman said. “A year from now, on Sept. 3, 2014, we’ll be in that new building for the first day of classes. It’s pretty mind boggling.”

Derby camp gets youngsters rolling

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

For young athletes looking to make their first forays into traditional sports like football, basketball or baseball, the choices seen endless.

Potential baseball, softball, football and basketball players have a myriad of starter leagues and instructional opportunities available locally, all providing a gateway into their chosen sport.

But for youngsters looking to strap on a pair of quad skates and try their hand at roller derby – one of the fastest growing “fringe” sports nationally – the choices are a bit more constrained.

Although Seattle’s Rat City Roller Girls and Tacoma’s Dockyard Derby Dames provide youth leagues in their respective cities, there has be no place for beginning derby prospects to go.

Until now.

This summer the Junior Roller Derby Summer Camp for Boys and Girls has offered instructional classes at Auburn’s Skate Connection, helping to inspire youngsters to try their hand at derby, and

“I’ve been skating since I was three,” he said. “Basically, my whole life has been rolling.

I’ve been doing derby for four years now and coaching for two and a half years.” the baskets are made locally

by Miller Fabrication, who designed and built them.”

Additionally, Mark Doxon, of Doxon Toyota, will donate $10,000 to the Auburn Valley YMCA. Both days kick off with a breakfast featuring all-youcan eat pancakes for just $5, sponsored by the Auburn Rotary.

“It’s going to be quite a event, we’re very excited about this,” Fraser said. “Our goal is to make this grow into something special and we’ve got a great start right now.”

According to Grout, started coaching when his 8-year-old daughter expressed an interest in the sport.

“She would watch me, and there really wasn’t but one youth program around the area, which was Seattle,” Grout said. “So I started the Kitsap Tootsies, which is basically the PeeWee level of the sport, the entry level.

“Roller skating is one of

those things where you’re teaching someone balance and confidence,” he added.

“Whether they do derby a day or their whole life, you’re giving them a gift by teaching them. You’re giving them something they can use in the future, anyway they want to. I think what it comes down to is giving kids a positive environment they can flourish in.”

Boy Scout Troop 401 celebrates 90 years For the Reporter

Great Places to Eat!

Troop 401, one of the longest-running Boy Scout Troops in the council and in Washington state, is celebrating 90 years on Saturday.

The anniversary celebration begins at 1 p.m. at Messiah Lutheran Church, 410 N St. NE, Auburn, with a reception following. Featured guests include many of the 81 Eagle Scouts who have been part of the troop’s long history of youth development and community service.

Troop 401, in conjunction with its chartering partner, the Kiwanis Club of Auburn, has provided a scouting program since 1923 in the Cascade foothills community. What began as Troop 1 under Scoutmaster Harlan R. Stone more than 90 years ago, remains as strong and visible in the Auburn community today.

Troop 401 of today is 50 strong under Scoutmasters John Wilson, Chris Cushing and Gordon Bair. The year-round program is filled with activities and service – from camps and hikes, work parties to special tours, fundraisers to cleanup detail.
