City slaps hold on pot-related businesses

Local leaders fear more hardship with federal food aid cuts

By ROBERT WHALE

the federal government would allow Washington and Colorado’s new marijuana laws to go into effect. Last November, more than 55 percent of Washington state’s voters voted yes on Initiative 502, legalizing recreational use of marijuana in the state.

Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus said the reason for enacting the moratorium is to give Auburn’s council subcommittees time to review all of the issues centering on the laws that are still unreconciled between state and federal guidelines.

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn City Council on Monday established a one-year moratorium on the acceptance and processing of applications for business licenses, permits or approvals for marijuana, cannibis-related businesses inside city limits.

Council members emerged from an hour-long, closed-door meeting to cast the vote, which was unanimous.

Monday’s action came nearly three weeks after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that

The Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act Congress votes on this week would cut food aid by $40 billion over 10 years, affecting up to 6 million hungry families, say alarmed community advocates and people who depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. Wednesday morning, people with personal knowledge of what such a loss would mean to the people they serve, came together at the Auburn Food Bank to say no.

And to urge Congress, particularly U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Auburn, to say no.

New FEMA flood maps at least 5 years away Reporter staff

New Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps for the Green River Valley are at least five years away.

FEMA officials made clear at a recent meeting in Kent, in front of a crowd of about 120, that the likely scenario for flood-map adoption would be spring or summer of 2018 at the earliest, according to a King County media release.

How new federal flood maps could impact Green River Valley homes and businesses was the primary focus for residents who met with the members of the King County Flood Control District Executive Committee and FEMA representatives at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

The update concern’s residents and property owners because the maps help define special-risk areas that may affect insurance rates or building regulations.

A number of years ago, FEMA issued draft flood area maps that indicated additional areas of the valley lay within the floodplain. These draft maps left some in the valley under the impression that FEMA’s adoption of the final maps was imminent, which is not the case.

The Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sherman visited The Commons Mall in Federal Way on Tuesday to meet fans, sign autographs and help distribute school

supplies and clothes to 125 needy children – part of his foundation.

About 55 children from the Auburn area received backpacks, school supplies, clothing and shoes. Three nonprofit agencies – Auburn

Youth Resources, Auburn Valley Y, and the Auburn Food Bank – pulled together to help 55 area kids receive supplies. The Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department supplied transportation so that the kids could come to

the mall, pick up supplies and meet Sherman.

Sherman’s foundation, Blanket Coverage, also provided pizza and pop for the kids and their families.

Poulsbo RV and Macy’s helped with the donations.

Auburn Police host forum on preventing theft, burglary For the Reporter

The Auburn Police Department hosts a free community forum from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the Auburn Senior Activity Center, 808 Ninth St. SE. The forum is designed to educate residents on the best ways to prevent theft and burglary from their person, homes or vehicles.

“Most property crimes are crimes of opportunity,” said Sgt. Les Muterspaugh.

“If we can help people reduce the opportunity, we can reduce these types of crimes in Auburn.”

Auburn Police report that these types of crimes have been on the rise in

recent years, and then hope to provide useful, easyto-implement prevention strategies for citizens and neighborhoods to better protect themselves and their belongings from being stolen or damaged.

The forum will consist of a presentation from Auburn Police detectives, followed by a question-and-answer period to address further concerns.

“We want to let our citizens know what we are seeing out there and help them decrease their chances of becoming a victims,” Muterspaugh said. “The police department wants to ensure that all of our citizens and their belongings are safe.”

Registration is not required, but space will be limited.

Sept. 9 Grease fire: 11:10 a.m., (Auburn).

Firefighters hustling to a grease fire in a deep fryer at a grocery store deli discovered that somebody had already snuffed out the fire before they got there.

Sept. 10 Burn patient: 9:10 p.m., (Auburn). A man had been using a propane tank to light a barbecue when the valve assembly on the end of the propane tank hose came off, sending up a fireball that engulfed the man and a nearby pile of firewood. When firefight-

day by a neighbor who was checking on his welfare, looked through a window and saw the body.

Prosecutors allege that Phillip, a former boyfriend of the woman Frankel dated and lived with, drove to Auburn to kill Frankel because he was angry that someone else was dating the woman.

Detectives connected Phillip to the murder through a bloodstained towel found at Frankel’s house as well as cellphone records that put Phillip near the home the

night of Frankel’s death.

Frankel’s girlfriend told detectives that Phillip wanted a romantic relationship with her and spoke badly about Frankel even though he had never met him, according to charging papers. Phillip had seen a photo of Frankel that the girlfriend had and knew where he lived.

Auburn Police – with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service – arrested Phillip in December 2010 in Portland for Frankel’s death.

Mountain View Fire and Rescue has received three letters from the King County Public Health, Emergency Services Division, congratulating the department and specific firefighters who responded to cardiac arrest events and performed CPR, successfully resuscitating the victims in 2013. The patients, who were later discharged from the hospital, included a man, a woman and aboy.

Mountain View Firefighter/ EMTs training includes an enhanced aggressive CPR method and use of defibrillators that are carried on all first-response vehicles. King County’s cardiac survival rate has increased from an aboveaverage 27 percent in 2002 to 57 percent today. Many other parts of the nation have survival rates of 10 percent or less. “We continue to set the bar for the rest of the nation. Cardiac survival is a key indicator of the quality of emergency medical response in the district and county,” said Fire Chief Greg Smith.

Obamacare in need of a remake

Summer is blockbuster movie season, a time when Hollywood releases its biggest productions.

In our nation’s capital, the political version of a blockbuster, “The Affordable Care Act: Obamacare,” is now making its debut. But early previews suggest it’s not quite ready for the big screen.

Case in point: In regulations quietly released on Friday during the July 4 holiday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) informed 16 state exchanges and the District of Columbia that they need not confirm that people seeking taxpayer subsidies for health insurance premiums actually qualify. This only serves to undermine the financial integrity of the Affordable Care Act. The rules say state exchanges may do only random income checks. In fact, comprehensive income eligibility checks are prohibited – banned – until 2015. In addition, states are not allowed to determine whether applicants already have coverage through their employer until 2015.

Critics say the rule is designed to bring large numbers of people into the program without confirming their eligibility and, once onboard, it becomes politically difficult to later remove them.

Unfortunately, by not confirming eligibility, HHS is opening the door to rampant fraud and abuse that will greatly increase costs for U.S. taxpayers. It also means those most in need of health care may come up empty-handed if the system is overloaded with requests from unqualified applicants.

The questionable HHS rule comes on the heels of a decision by the Obama administration to delay until 2015 implementation of the employer mandate, a central feature of Obamacare. The law requires that employers with 50 or more employees must provide [ more BRUNELL page 6 ]

I, and several other residents of H Street Northeast, invited mayoral candidates Nancy Backus and John Partridge to meet with us regarding the reconstruction of our street.

Partridge was the only mayoral candidate to respond.

It is apparent that John Partridge blends his political will for the City of Auburn with his will to be an advocate for the citizens of Auburn.

With Auburn’s mayoral campaigns getting a lot of attention lately, I’ve noticed some differences in the campaigns of Nancy Backus and John Partridge.

Backus has spent an awful lot of money on advertising, and many people are writing letters to the editor, urging people to vote for her. Though often lengthy and complementary, the letters fail to mention anything she has done to make her City government more efficient and Auburn a better place to live.

She was on the same committee when millions of dollars were spent on a downtown redevelopment project that forced numerous small businesses to relocate or close. Before she announced her decision to run for mayor, she conveniently left the committee she had been chairman of for several years.

Serving on the committee that oversees the operation of the golf course, Partridge saw clearly the liability a new clubhouse and changeover from private management to a City-run operation created. As a member of that same committee he also saw a need for effective animal control services.

As a frequent visitor to Auburn, I no longer see dogs running loose on city streets, and the animal shelter project he initiated seems to be a success.

John’s service on the finance committee does not appear to have influenced the fact that Auburn, like many cities, has spent too much money on things that don’t benefit most of its residents.

As a former resident who visits Auburn often and continues to follow Auburn politics, I would be very happy to vote for John Partridge for mayor of Auburn.

Backus is ready to be our next mayor When voting for a mayor, it is important to remember that governing a city is no different than selecting people to run a business.

The City of Auburn is a large business with a budget of more than $200,000 million. It employs over 300 employees and is responsible for providing services to over 72,000 residents.

Auburn has over 80 miles of residential streets, a full-fledged police force, many parks and recreation facilities to run and

Certain qualities are necessary for the people we elect to operate this business. The mayor, who in reality is the CEO, needs to have the background that prepares them to make the decisions that will give the citizens the best possible quality of life and protection they need.

My 12 years of public service on the City Council lead me to believe that among the candidates we have to chose from, I must support Nancy Backus for mayor due to her background and proven service to Auburn and for her many years of thoughtful and well-studied work.

Nancy is well qualified, honest and a dedicated public servant, and I urge Auburn citizens to cast their vote for Nancy Backus in the Nov. 5 general election.

I have known Claude DaCorsi for eight years. We served as board members for six years for the Sons of Italy, Piccola Italia Lodge No. 1967.

I met Claude when he was the president of our lodge. Claude served three terms as president, and I followed him serving the next four. During that time Claude exhibited excellent leadership qualities. Claude also headed up many different charitable functions supporting other groups and organizations.

Claude’s ability to be creative and lead a group of officers is outstanding. Even through some of our hardest years of activity with a failing economy and lack of support and interest from lodge members, he made a positive impact on our lodge.

In my experiences with Claude, he was a person for the people, a

their employer. The delay is widely seen as an attempt to avert a voter backlash in the 2014 mid-term elections.

Some in Congress say the administration doesn’t have the legal right to change the law, but what Congress can – or will – do about that remains to be seen.

public servant with the ability to listen, think and bring options to the table that would benefit all people.

In my view there is no person better for the job of Auburn City Council. He is the one who can best represent the City of Auburn.

Claude’s background, education and many years in the public sector make him the right choice for the next City Council member.

He has my support and blessing.

– Dominic Engrissei

DaCorsi has a genuine servant’s heart In this crazy world of politics it’s hard to know, much less trust, our leadership.

I have always wished I could see behind the mask and know who I’m really voting for.

To have the offhand chance to chat with a friend, family member or coworker of a candidate to get a glimpse inside.

Well, your wish has come true, Auburn.

I know a man who wants to share his vast knowledge of business and government with the citizens of Auburn.

Refreshingly, Claude DaCorsi is a real person, a professional man, a boots-in-the-mud guy, a problem solver, a father.

His only agenda is to be a contributing member in his community by sharing his ideas that can positively strengthen Auburn.

Behind his mask is a genuine servant’s heart. So do yourself a favor, Auburn, support DaCorsi for City Council.

Do your part, vote I encourage those who may feel disenfranchised to vote, as only you can make a difference.

mayor. He ran his mayoral primary campaign on the slogan, “Fix Auburn.” His platform depended on claims that the present administration and council has broken Auburn and continues to make it worse. Therefore, they would need to be replaced. Apparently, that message did not resonate with voters, since he was eliminated in the primary with only 14 percent of the vote.

I personally wondered what his motivation could have been for endorsing the candidate that most represents the Auburn breakers he was campaigning against.

I thought perhaps Ms. Backus might have enticed him in some way; otherwise, the endorsement made no sense.

Then, lo and behold, at Monday night’s council meeting, Scot Pondelick was appointed to the planning commission. And who is the chair of the planning commission? Why, none other than Nancy Backus herself.

Councilman Peloza even exclaimed excitedly, “Scot, we got you!” Well, it doesn’t take much to connect the dots, so I will leave that to the readers.

Suffice it to say that the fishy smell surrounding Auburn City Hall is quite overwhelming.

Endorsements don’t mean much when they are the result of “enticements.” At least Scot will now be in a position where he can “fix Auburn” from his position on the planning commission.

feel they cannot make a difference, so why try?

Scott Pondelick’s recent endorsement could be interpreted as giving up to an entrenched political machine. Apathy by voters is surrender. Yet the power of the vote is greater than any political machine.

Please vote and make your vote count by voting for John Partridge. I also ask you to consider voting for Michelle Binetti, another agent of change. I have known her and her family for years. Michelle is enthusiastic, smart, wise and a strong advocate for the everyday citizen.

‘Know your GMO,’ vote for labeling On Nov. 5, the voters in Washington state will decide whether or not to require food manufacturers to let consumers know if the products they sell contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

In 2012, GMO’s comprised 88 percent of the corn and 94 percent of the soybeans produced in the United States. About 60-70 percent of processed foods contain GMO derived ingredients.

Before GMOs, herbicides used to be sprayed around food. Now they can be sprayed on food. Before GMO’s, insecticides used to be sprayed on food. Now they’re produced in food.

Roundup sprayed on food and used on many GMO crops has been found to get in the food.

Over time, it may create inflammation which may damage cellular systems throughout the body, according to one study.

The GMO producers have been advised to use the word “enhanced” rather than “genetically modified,” “high quality,” rather than “transgenic,” “natural” rather than “chemical,” and refer to “crop protection” rather than “pesticides.”

Nov. 5 is a chance to “know your GMO” by voting to support GMO labeling. Vote yes on I-522.

The cost of their care was supposed to be subsidized by premiums from younger, healthier enrollees – but that

logic may be flawed.

As the inherent weaknesses of the Affordable Care Act become increasingly clear, Congress needs to revisit the legislation. Either fix it or replace it.

[ MY TURN from page 5 ] the returning Vietnam veterans as well as scoffed at the South Vietnamese veteran, and here they were doing it again. Those residents who presented their arguments were persons in the community who were against the war when it was going on and had not changed.

In my opinion and supported by facts, many used the flag issue to cover up their prejudice against the Vietnamese. Others had a patriotic stance that no other flag should be on our soil or fly next to the U.S. flag. In fact, the former mayor felt that way in the beginning and now she is our strongest supporter.

After four years of discussions and five years of fundraising the city/county gave us 1½ acres. Those same arguments about taxpayer land, legal rights, upkeep, etc., all had been heard.

The City Council and the committee made a contract about construction timelines, ownership and maintenance.

Thank goodness we had lawyers working pro-bono on our behalf.

The flag issue surfaced many times when veterans groups and well-meaning patriotic Americans questioned why the flags would be at the same height. I had to research the regulations

to show them that were correct. Also, we decided to put one taller American flag over the whole park that helped squelch that issue.

The flag of Free Vietnam (yellow with three red stripes) seems to conjure up, for many, bad feeling/ memories and whether it should be in a park with other memorials. Our park is called the Sid Goldstein Park in memory of a local resident who won the Distinguished Service Cross in Korea. I know it is not quite the same as yours.

I wish I could speak before you on the importance of the flag of free Vietnam, its meaning in history and how important it is to Vietnamese-Americans – especially veterans and their families – as well as to those advisors like myself who fought side by side with the South Vietnamese.

Please try to put yourself in the place of the South Vietnamese who not only lost their struggle for a free Vietnam, but came here with nothing and lost everything to include their home. We cannot understand how they feel, but the one thing that reminds them of their home and a hope for a free Vietnam is their flag. I can attest that thousands of Vietnamese and their families visit the memorial and they feel uplifted by the sight of their

flag flying proudly next to the U.S. flag. It somewhat lessens the terrible memory of losing their country and allows history to stay alive with their families.

For those American veterans who have bad feelings and memories about the South Vietnamese, I can assure you I know the feeling. On my first tour in 1967-68, I was with the 101st Airborne and my battery was overrun. It turns out that the RVNs (ships of the Republic of Vietnam Navy) that were providing us security let the bad guys in. For sure, I left Vietnam on my first tour with a bitter taste. However, I was sent back to Vietnam in 1972 and was assigned as an advisor to a South Vietnamese infantry regiment. Needless to say, I was not happy and did not trust them. I quickly learned that I could.

One or two bad memories should not be a judge of all.

In communist Vietnam today there is no sign of the flag of South Vietnam.

They want to blank out the one symbol they fear the most. That flag is why we, as a country, went to war and why we, as Vietnam veterans, are proud of what we did to help keep that a free country.

It is appropriate to see the two flags together. When we approach such a memorial

“The state is saying one thing, federal laws are saying another, but they’re also saying that they will turn a blind eye at the federal level,” Backus said. “We want to ensure that, as the City of Auburn, we are protecting ourselves and at the same time doing a full review in the committees. We want to ensure that if we allow the processing of applications for marijuana-cannibisrelated businesses, that we do so in such a manner as to allow for full review and information.”

The City also wants time to learn from other Washington cities struggling to cope with the fallout from the passage of I-502, said Councilmember Largo Wales.

“We had a lot of debate about it. We wanted to make sure that it was kind of a neutral presentation of the issues, because we don’t want to associate any value judgements with it.

And then we really want a chance to study it in relayou are reminded of the over 58,000 Americans, over 250,000 South Vietnamese and allies who died fighting for a free Vietnam.

For those who opposed the memorial here initially, they are now our biggest supporters. It has caused healing and for many helped their issues with PTSD. When we started this, I had veterans at the Boeing plant where I worked who wouldn’t even talk to me. But after one trip to see the memorial and talk about it, their adverse feelings dissipated.

To me, it is imperative that such a memorial welcomes the South Vietnamese to our shores who are now Vietnamese Americans and show our respect for their homeland, their ancestry and the hardships they have endured. But also, that flag gives them hope for a free Vietnam one day.

September 20, 2013 [7] tionship to what it would do to assist or detract from our business community, our kids and safety, its impact on the police department and the different departments. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor what some of the other cities do, especially in light of what the federal government said it’s going to do. We don’t really trust that yet,” Wales said. “… We are really going to use this moratorium time to see what the position

of our community is, and then how to implement it.

We just don’t want to be out in front until we know what all the issues are and get public comment from our planning commission,” Wales said.

“We’re not going to outright ban it, because of, quite honestly, the way our citizens voted,” Councilmember John Holman added. “Let’s give it a fair hearing. We just don’t want to be on the bleeding edge.”

cut. I’m already running out of money. Our grants have been cut. Our food supply has coming in OK from some new and bigger business. But this is also summer. When it comes down to further cuts, this will decrease my purchasing power and increase the client need. If you double the numbers again, how in the world am I going to stretch that?”

James said he was appalled at the decisions “of our so-called leaders and politicians, who decide they want to take food out of the mouths of poor children in our communities.

“Your indifference is dangerous to our young people. Your friendship with the rich is an enemy to righteousness,” James said. “Don’t you know that the Brookings Institution has already defined South King County as a model for growing trends of poverty and hunger? Don’t you know that the least, the last, and the less live right here in this community? And you want to take SNAP and shut the door on hungry families and youth and children? Not on our watch,” James said.

Albertson, serving her third term on the City of Kent’s Human Services

Commission, noted that 52 percent of the students in the Kent School District are already on free and reduced lunch, and 14,000 people visit the Kent Food Bank every year.

“Poverty has grown by more than 80 percent in South King County in the last 10 years. South King County in particular … is one of the worst poverty centers in the country,” Albertson said. “And yet we have this disconnect.

We have the wealthy east side, we’ve got a lot of money in Seattle. The Pacific Northwest is seen as this beautiful, wonderful place to live. And it is. But we have people here that are hungry and homeless.

Someone asked me a question about the working poor. Well, we have working poor here that are also homeless.”

Christina Wong, public policy manager of Northwest Harvest and co-chair of the Anti-Hunger and Nutrition Coalition, called the proposed legislation mean.

“When I first heard about this proposal to cut SNAP by $40 billion, I was shocked and saddened,” Wong said. “I can really think of no reason, other than mean spiritedness, that would result in any member of Congress voting yes on this bill. A yes vote means a deliberate decision to make people hungry. So, as I have continued to advocate against this bill, I have gone from being heartbroken to being outraged.”

Workers including sculptor Brad Rude, left foreground, reinstall The Long Look, a bronze deer statue at Centennial Park. The Long Look has been moved to a better location, closer to the road for better visibility.

That theft ticked off a lot of people.

Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis called the act “despicable.”

“Whenever something of yours gets stolen, especially when you don’t know who took it or where it went, it makes you angry and upset,” Rude said. “A lot of people, from what I’ve heard, really cared about that sculpture. It grows on people and becomes part of their daily routine.”

SNAP – also known as Food Stamps – is an antipoverty program that provides nutrition support to low-income people struggling to put food on the table and to middle-class families that are struggling economically because of the Great Recession.

In these tough times, advocates agreed, when one in six people in the state alone rely on SNAP, and more than two-fifths of those who receive benefits are children, it would be one cut way too many. Instead, advocates urged Congress to close corporate tax loopholes and make large companies such as Apple, General Electric and Verizon pay “their fair share” of federal taxes.

Numbers at the Auburn Food Bank, according to Christian, have more than doubled in the last five years. Today, more than 170 families come through the food bank’s doors every day. Today, the food bank serves some 650 individuals, and that number could double again.

Additional cuts, Christian, would be wrong.

“I think what I really need you to hear is that our families can’t suffer any more,” Christian said. “They’re already at a minimum in their income, they’re already at a minimum in their resources.

The stamina that it takes to stay on programs is just really tough for them.

huge warehouse filled with molds created by hundreds of artists through the years.

Each artist has his or her section there, stacked and numbered, he said. So when any of them wants to cast another piece from a previous date, they need only pull the mold out, make another wax copy and get to work.

At the City’s behest, that’s what Rude did.

When he arrived with his deer at 12:30 for the reinstallation, cemetery employees were ready with their front-end loaders to get the piece out of the truck. From removal to the final twisting of the final bolt, the process took about an hour.

So the Long Look is back – with a couple refinements.

The deer has been moved closer to the road from its former location in a west corner of the park.

“It’s in a better location, more visible from the road,” said Majia McKnight, arts coordinator for the City of Auburn. “People can see it and keep a better eye on it.”

There are new security measures in place, most of them hush-hush.

“Don’t tell the meth heads or whoever stole it,” Rude said.

Before last year’s theft, the sculpture had survived several vandalism and theft attempts, the most recent of them in 2005. Park visitors called police on that occasion after observing that somebody had sawn through two of the legs.

The City responded by

welding the legs back on and putting “extra heft” in them, McKnight said. Staff also cut back bushes that had partially blocked the park from the road.

“The art is in the public sphere, and part of the joy is that it’s out there where anyone can access it. At the same time, the danger is that we can’t protect it, we can’t put it under lock and key. Our maintenance program checks in on them regularly to make sure everything is OK,” McKnight said.

Rude got a reminder during the reinstallation of what the work means to people.

As workers were unloading the deer, he said, a man and a woman stopped by to see what was going on.

As daily drivers on the road, they explained, they remembered the deep anger and disappointment they felt when they learned of the theft.

“If we had seen these people, we would have tackled ‘em, jumped’ em, beat ‘em up, caught em’ red handed,” the couple said of the thieves.

They then described pictures they had taken of their 8-year-old daughter over the years, sitting on the deer, playing on the deer.

And how she had cried, at the grotesque, brutal sight of the hooves.

But it was all smiles for them last Friday.

“You have made our day.

We are so excited that it’s back,” they said.

On Nov. 11 the community of Pacific will dedicate the American flagpole at City Hall to honor Veterans Day. Led by Councilmember Katie Garberding, who recently installed a light for the flag pole. the ceremony is to include the unveiling of a plaque honoring those who have died in service to the United States.

“It’s just completing and finishing off (the flag pole project) and doing a dedication,” Garberding said. “We thought it would be awesome to host a community event. And what better day to do it than on Veterans Day?” A plaque will be placed under the flag pole, with wording memorializing those who have died in service to the flag.

“It will read: ‘The American Flag does not fly because the wind moves past it... the American flag flies from the last breath of each person who has died protecting it,’” Garberding said.

Residents and businesses, including Valley Recycling, Pacific Police Lt. Edwin Massey, City Attorney Kenyon Luce, Councilmember James McMahan, Garberding and the Valley Regional Fire Authority union, covered the $1,500 cost.

The event time has not been set, but Garberding has already planned a reception at City Hall afterwards.

“It’s a community event, anyone is welcome,” Garberding said. “I think it would be awesome to get a little community support out there.”

Auburn schools’ test scores outperform state average Auburn students continue to significantly outscore the state on 2013 measurements of student progress, high school proficiency exams and end-of-course assessments, according to results released by the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).

Auburn schools achieved increases in reading and literacy across grade levels, which includes testing in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. Scores not only improved over last year but also soared above the state average – in some cases by more than 25 percent.

“This is breakthrough academic achievement,” said Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren. “Our assessment scores continue to increase

www.auburn-reporter.com across grade levels.”

Additionally, students in English Language Learner (ELL) and special education programs outperformed the state average by double digits in reading and mathematics, making significant improvement over last year. In fact, state test scores in these special populations reveal some of the highest scores in district history.

The district continues to improve student learning and close achievement gaps.

In fact, Auburn schools are in the top 15 percent of highest performing schools in the state.

Over the last three years, 13 schools won a total of 38 state and national awards including the prestigious Washington State Achievement Awards and the National Title I Academic Achievement Awards.

State assessment scores for all Auburn schools are available on the OSPI report card at reportcard. ospi.k12.wa.us/.

... Healthy Living Senior Protect young athletes, raise awareness about concussions Auburn Center hosts a concussion, that’s a big problem.

One danger is post-concussive syndrome.

Essentially, this is like having a concussion longer than six weeks. In addition to headaches and other concussive symptoms, the athlete often struggles academically and may develop depression.

Another danger is second-impact syndrome. If a player takes a blow the head then returns to play and takes another blow before fully recovering – even a week later – the person can develop severe swelling in the brain, which can lead to death.

DOC TALK

Dr. Joshua Purses

As kids return to school and fall sports seasons get under way, it’s a good time for a reminder about the danger of concussions.

Here in Western Washington, parents and coaches are increasingly aware of concussions, thanks in part to education about the state’s Zackery Lystedt Law, which requires medical clearance before young athletes can return to play after a concussion.

For athletes of all ages, an increased level of awareness can make a huge difference. While more can be done to truly prevent concussions, it’s important to recognize when a concussion occurs so that the athlete can be removed from the game and avoid potentially more serious consequences.

If an athlete keeps playing after

If there’s any question, it’s always safer to assume it’s a concussion and pull the child out of competition, rather than ignoring it and going about your business.

Basically, a concussion occurs after a blow to the head or face, or even elsewhere in the body if the forces are transmitted to the head (like whiplash). The person might experience headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or just feel “not quite right.”

Only athletic trainers, physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are licensed in the state of Washington to determine when an athlete can return to play.

Most concussion injuries can be treated by following up with a primary-care provider, or with someone who is trained in concus-

sion management. More urgent evaluation would be needed if the athlete is unable to communicate, has a rapidly worsening headache or has a seizure. If a school has an athletic trainer, students should take advantage of that. Athletic trainers can help them decide if they need to receive further care or see a doctor.

In my office, we most commonly see concussions from football, followed by soccer. Other sports, such as lacrosse and hockey, have a high frequency of concussions, but fewer people play those sports, so we don’t see as many of those cases.

As far as prevention, there are a lot of questions about helmets and headgear in football and soccer. [ more DOC TALK page 24 ]

Auburn boys water polo looks to reestablish winning ways

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Just putting a team in the pool was a victory for last season’s Auburn boys water polo squad.

After one season (2011) without a team, the Trojans managed to pool enough players to field a

team in 2012, although not a very competitive one. Under Coach Jim Isom, who has coached Auburn water polo since he started the program in 1990, the Trojans went winless, finishing the season 0-14.

This year, with an influx of freshtalent augmenting

its returning senior core, Auburn hopes to take the next step in its resurgence and start winning some matches, Isom said.

“Last year most of the team was new to the sport of water polo and to swimming,” Isom said. “But most of the boys joined the swim team last winter.

So this year I expect to be competitive with most of the teams in the league.

Last year a few teams held some of their starters out against us. I’m hoping that the other teams won’t have to be as kind to us this year.” [ more water polo page 15 ]

[ more standings page 15 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com One of the keys to success this year is the return of senior Andrew Nordlie, who sat out last season.

“Andrew played as a freshman, but when the Auburn team folded a couple years ago, Andrew concentrated on his soccer career,” Isom said.

“Andrew is probably our fastest, most athletic, most active player.”

Joining Nordlie to pace the team offensively is returning senior Levi Golan, the team’s leading scorer last season.

“He is our hole set, which is not unlike a center in basketball,” Isom said. “The addition of Andrew should take a little pressure off Levi and should free up other players like (senior) Nathan Scholzen and (junior) Henry Estey, who have good outside shots.”

Defensively, the Trojans will again rely on junior goalie Jacob McInerny between the pipes.

“Last year he had a lot of practice blocking one-ongoalie shots,” Isom said. “This year, with nearly everybody joining the swim team, we should be better able to keep up with the rest of the teams in the league.”

Corrections Auburn Mountainview soccer player Madi Clarkson has committed to play at the University of Utah. The Auburn Reporter gave the incorrect university in its Sept. 13 edition.

The Reporter misspelled Delene Colburn’s name in its Auburn Mountainview soccer preview.

Also returning from last year’s starting squad are senior Jesse Unzen and sophomore Dylan Beauprey.

Beyond his starters, Isom concedes, the cupboard starts to look a little bare. The team, he said, will have to adjust for that.

“Overall, we are lacking in experience outside of our starters,” he said. “If we can play a deliberate and conservative half-court offense and stay away from an up-tempo game, we’ll do well. We just don’t have the numbers or the swimmers to do well if we get in a ‘swim meet.’”

With all the players in place to field a competitive team, Isom said, his biggest task now is “changing the mindset of the boys and our expectations.’

“Last year we were just happy to have a team; this year we need to believe that we can be competitive, so we will continue to work hard,” Isom said. “We have to recreate a winning tradition.

The Trojans play in the Auburn School District Boys Water Polo Tournament this Saturday and Sunday at the Auburn Pool.

ALSO: Last season the Auburn Riverside boys water polo team snagged a fifthplace finish at the Washington State championship tourney with a thrilling 7-6 overtime

win over district rival Auburn Mountainview. Despite just three returning starters from last year’s 18-2 squad – seniors Steven Summers, Jace Davey and Tristan Narnajo – 10th-year head coach Mark Van Eaton expects the Ravens to compete again. “(Our) team strength is always team chemistry and all the players having the same goal – learning the game and improving our play,” Van Eaton said.

“Team leadership is always a strength.” In the water, Van Eaton said, the team will be keyed by the defensive play of Naranjo as well as the offensive play of Davey and senior Zac Johnson. Add in sophomore newcomer Daniel Godfrey and Auburn Riverside should be in the mix come postseason... Auburn Mountainview finished the season with a sixth-place finish at state after reeling off a 13-1 regular season. This year, with the bulk of last year’s team returning (the team graduated just three seniors), the Lions look again poised to make a run at the state tourney. Among the keys will be the team’s leadership, including seniors Colin Lempert, Riley King, Brady Gardner, Jackson Sulewski and Jourdan Roberts. And with a program that now boasts more than 30 players, the future looks bright for the Lions.

www.auburn-reporter.com To prepare for Ironman Canada, Norton-Bredl kept her old bike, her weathered wet suit – and invested in a coach.

“Stephanie is hardworking and tough. She pushed through pain in her feet she knew would require surgery after Ironman,” said Alissa Anderson, a coach, personal trainer and physical therapist with Raise The Bar, an organization that manages a multi-sport team, provides training and produces events in the Puget Sound area.

Anderson drilled Norton-Bredl, and she promptly picked up the pace. Norton-Bredl became a better triathlete than she’d been in her late-30s.

“She got me to push myself outside my comfort zone,” Norton-Bredl said.

Training peaked to the tune of five hours on the bike, three hours in the pool and short runs on trails during the week.

Weekends meant a 100mile bike ride and a 20-mile run. To cut the pounding on her feet, Norton-Bredl ran in the pool.

“She was willing to listen to me and trust me when I told her she needed to replace some of her running volume with extra cycling and some deep-water running in order to protect her feet for race day,” Anderson said. “A lot of Type A Ironman athletes would have a hard time letting go of the need to log a lot of running miles … and deep-water running can be drudgery.”

When August arrived, Norton-Bredl was ready.

[ DOC TALK from page 13 ] In football, there is no perfect helmet that prevents all concussions. It just doesn’t exist. Parents should be wary of such claims. The key is to have a newergeneration helmet that has been properly fitted.

In soccer or other sports, there isn’t any convincing medical evidence that protective headgear truly prevents concussions, so it’s not recommended at this time. In soccer, concussions are usually caused by collisions – either head-to-head or falling to the ground. If a player has good technique while heading the ball, it’s not supposed to cause concussions. Younger athletes may be more prone to have bad technique, which could be detrimental.

A baseline test conducted before the season can be used for comparison if an

And this time, she finished strong.

“It felt great,” she said.

A good fit Endurance sports are Norton-Bredl’s niche.

Growing up in the Seattle area and participating in sports at Decatur High School, she considered herself a “below-average” athlete. But what she lacked in skill she made up in effort.

“I can go all day, I can go for a long time. … That’s where my talent is,” she said. “It’s not in my speed, it’s my ability to keep going.

What is a concussion?

A concussion is most often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump to the head. However, it can also occur as a result of an indirect blow to a different part of the body. Brain injury is the leading cause of sports-related death to children.

Norton-Bredl has completed seven marathons and her share of half-marathons, foot races and bike rides, short and long.

Despite the injuries and ailments, Norton-Bredl has stayed active.

Soon, Norton-Bredl will undergo surgery to realign the bones in her left foot, which were damaged by a bus that ran over her left foot when she was a girl.

Surgery also will remove painful bunions on both feet.

Norton-Bredl plans to take some time off, heal and perhaps prepare for the next race. A triathlon in New Zealand is on her “bucket list.”

Despite the injuries, Norton-Bredl can smile after her latest accomplishment.

Considering its length and scope, it was no easy feat.

“I’m not a super athlete.

I’m just an average girl,” she said. “I think, honestly, a lot of people can do it. … It just takes a lot of preparation.

“Not everybody is motivated to do it, and that’s OK, too, because I kind of enjoy challenging myself in that way,” she said. “But for some people, just running a 5K, just getting to the gym, is challenging enough.”

She likens her immune system to that of a newborn baby’s.

“All my immunizations have been washed away and I must start from the beginning,” she said.

Padgett has also lost about three inches in height.

In intense pain on May 17, 2012, she went to the emergency room, where doctors discovered a tumor on her spine that had caused four discs to collapse on top of each other. Such bone compression is one of the symptoms of the cancer.

The surgery went well and the pain is gone. She went from 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-4½. Her upper body “got squashed,” she said, but her pants still fit.

Washington State Trooper Renee Padgett of Renton is headed back to work, her cancer in remission and her strength returning.

She planned to return to light duty this week part-time and could resume work full-time in March, depending on how well her immune system rebuilds from a stem-cell transplant.

Initially, she’ll do office work for her division, but her goal is to get back on the road.

“I love my job,” she said.

For 15 years Padgett has worked closely with local agencies in her role as the state patrol’s wrecking-yard inspector in King County.

She’s part of patrol’s Commercial Vehicle Division.

Through her efforts, an innovative new program called Homeward Bound was started, designed to help locate and bring home some of the approximately 23,000 children who are reported missing in the state each year.

The program is a partnership with Gordon Trucking of Pacific.

In May 2012 Padgett, 45, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called multiple myeloma, which is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white-blood cell in bone marrow.

For her two children, Gedeon, 11, and Olivia, 7, the seriousness of Padgett’s illness hit home when she lost all her hair right before the stem-cell transplant at

ing Gordon Trucking. The idea is to place posters of children who are missing on the side of trucks. New posters are on order, so four or five new children will be added to the program.

Thursday she was to go to Gordon Trucking for a driver-appreciation event.

Though her months of treatment she’s stayed positive and has had the support of friends, family, wrecking yards and police and fire departments – and the state patrol.

“I am very thankful the department has bent over backward to help me,” she said.

Milfoil Treatment Continues on Lake Tapps This August and September Cascade Water Alliance, owner of Lake Tapps, continued its multi-year program begun in 2010 to address dense growth of Eurasian water milfoil. Milfoil is a non-native and invasive aquatic plant that spreads rapidly, crowds out native plants and forms dense surface mats in Lake Tapps.

Herbicide treatment was performed in the summer of 2010 and 2011, with diver handpulling in 2012. this year, boat surveys were conducted, and, together with information gathered by last year’s divers, revealed some dense milfoil infestation in a couple of areas located around driftwood point.

milfoil. this year’s treatment will cost about $100,000. Herbicide treatments were performed mid-august through mid-september milfoil is often brought in by boats that have previously been in milfoil infested waters. in addition, homeowner’s use of fertilizer contributes to milfoil (and native plant) growth as the nutrients used on lawns feed milfoil’s growth as the runoff goes into the lake. native vegetation will not be treated as it is beneficial to the lake’s health and its removal is regulated by the department of Fish and Wildlife.

Fall Garden Tips: It’s Time to Mulch!

Why mulch this fall? mulching your plants year round helps save water and reduces weeding time. Here’s a reminder of why mulching is important in your yard and garden. mulching: •

Helps retain moisture: mulch can reduce moisture evaporation from soil anywhere from 10 to 50 percent. it also plays a key part in retaining dew and water drawn up from the subsoil from escaping.

•

Reduces weeding time: studies show that weeding time can be reduced by almost two-thirds when you mulch.

When mulch is applied appropriately, the need for weeding can be nearly eliminated.

How to mulch: always be sure your mulch is weed-free and applied correctly. Use mulch that’s light and permeable enough to allow water and air to pass through yet dense enough to inhibit or eliminate the growth of weeds.

When spreading mulch — whether you mulch with leaves in the fall, grass clippings in the summer, or wood chips — always keep it two to three inches away from the base of the plant to deter insects from making their home in your plants. also, don’t put mulch of any kind closer than four inches from a tree trunk for the same reason. a thick layer of mulch too close to trees and shrubs can create the perfect moist environment that plant-eating insects love.
