Local economy picking up WSDOT’s Gateway

Auburn’s economy is smiling for the first time since 2008.

Such was the message Auburn Economic Development Manager Doug Lein brought to the members of the City’s Committee of the Whole Monday.

And he had plenty of positive numbers to buttress his optimism.

According to Lein’s report, “What’s happening in Auburn, Mid 2013,” as of the end of August, the City had issued 314 permits either for construction of single-family homes or for additions and alterations to [ more ECONOMY page 7 ]

A massive rainstorm hammered Auburn and the rest of the Puget Sound region this week, bringing in urban flooding, thundershowers and even a tornado that touched down at Frederickson. The storm contributed to a record-

breaking September for rainfall with 6.16 inches, breaking the previous mark of 5.95 inches set in 1978. The fall’s first significant storm was not particularly powerful or destructive, but it was unusual for this time of year.

comedy adaptation of the classic Mel Brooks film. The Players’ production premieres Friday at the Auburn Avenue Theater.

“I just love the movie,” director David Cox said. “More than anything, it’s really fun, lots of humor

that is right up my alley. Mel Brooks just gets my funny bone.

And I thought it was something out of the ordinary for community theater.” [ more MUSICAL page 8 ]

Engineers began planning the first phases of State Routes 167 and 509 in the 1950s, and road crews built them in the 1960s — but from the start, the intention was that someday these corridors would connect to I-5.

Someday is now, John White, director of tolled corridor development for the Washington State Department of Transportation, told members of the Auburn City Council at City Hall on Monday as he laid out the guts of WSDOT’s latest mega construction proposal, the Puget Sound Gateway Project.

“The heart of the story is structured around finishing what you started,” White said. “There’s also freight mobility and local, regional and statewide economies in the story. … These corridors were not completed, and the result is that people who should have been using them to get more efficiently to their destinations can’t, so they divert to their local arterials, they divert to I-5. So, other roadways have taken on an extra burden by 167 and 509 not being complete.

“This helps bring people back

The Puget Sound Gateway Project brings together much-needed congestion relief projects between SR 167, SR 509 and I-5. Specifically, the SR 167 and SR 509 extensions will complete the missing highway system links to I-5, offering commuter and freight mobility benefits through added capacity and improved connectivity. COURTESY, WSDOT to those corridors where they were intended to be,” White added. [ more PROJECT page 8 ]

DAHLQUIST

DEAR NEIGHBOR,

AS YOUR 31ST DISTRICT LEGISLATIVE TEAM IN THE STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WE ARE HONORED TO CARRY YOUR LEGISLATURE. OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU IS TO ALWAYS FIND COMMON GROUND ON THE ISSUES IMPORTANT TO YOU AND OUR STATE. WHILE WE DON’T SHARE THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY, WE SHARE A GOAL TO ALWAYS PUT THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES AHEAD OF PARTY POLITICS. THE COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF CATHY’S TWO-TERM SERVICE IN EDUCATION ON THE ENUMCLAW SCHOOL BOARD AND CHRIS’ 25 YEARS IN PUBLIC SAFETY WORKING AS A POLICE DETECTIVE AND COMMANDER HELP US CRAFT COMMON-SENSE SOLUTIONS IN OLYMPIA. BELOW ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2013 LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS. VOICE AND VIEWS TO THE

New Investments In K-12 Education

This legislative session was remarkably slow and cumbersome but the end product was a major win for our kids and education.

We held the line on tuition increases for higher education for the first time in over 25 years, as well as making an additional $1 billion investment in K-12 education.

The state Supreme Court, in the McCleary v. State landmark education funding lawsuit, ruled that the state must follow the state constitution that mandates K-12 education to be the state’s “paramount duty” and be funded before other programs. This year’s budget takes a giant step forward to comply with the court ruling.

What does this mean to the students that reside within the 31st Legislative District?

The most exciting news is that now most all children entering kindergarten will receive a full day of education. Many districts offered a “fee based” all-day kindergarten classroom and now all children will receive the same education which is not based on if they can afford the extra time in the classroom. We feel this creates equity and raises the bar of excellence for all students.

Additional dollars were allocated to a program with the K-12 system called the Learning Assistance Program (LAP).

These LAP funds target students with the greatest gaps in their education by providing reading and/or math assistance.

Class size always seems to be a concern for teachers and students alike. As we prioritize spending at the state level we are ever diligent to use evidenced-based data when deciding where to put money. Funding was provided for reducing class sizes in K-1, increasing the instructional hours in grades 7-12, transportation, and materials, supplies and operating costs. We are proud to report we made huge gains in fully funding education at the state level.

Economy and Jobs

The state’s economy is slowly growing.

While it is still a fragile recovery, we are beginning to see our state’s unemployment rate move downward and tax collections growing by $2 billion, or roughly 7 percent, every two years. This year, we made meaningful policy changes to encourage job creation and retention by easing the cost and time burdens associated with doing business in Washington state.

Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and as a team we continue to work on reducing government regulation that limits job growth.

Even though Washington unemployment rate dropped 1.6 percent last year, we were part of a bipartisan effort to pass a budget that did not raise taxes on property, sales tax or business and occupation taxes.

It was necessary to live within our means so as not to imperil the recovery that is underway. At the same time, it was important to prioritize spending to ensure our most vulnerable citizens were not left out. In recent years, we have tightened up policies regarding those in need. While it is important to give people a hand up during difficult times, we eliminated programs that handed out cash. We created safeguards with accountability measures and fraud prevention. State electronic benefit cash cards, or EBT cards, that were being used in casinos and on cruise ships are no longer accepted. This is one example where we found efficiencies and did not raise taxes.

We know government does not create jobs, but it can create an environment

that encourages employers to expand operations and attracts new employers to our state. As a team, we will continue to support policies that put people back to work in good-paying jobs.

Public Safety and Protecting Our Vulnerable Citizens

The highlight of our work on public safety was the driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI) and child sex trade legislation. The state of Washington is now recognized as one of the two top states promoting innovative and effective legislation that crack down on child prostitution.

Early this year, there were several horrible stories about families being killed by drunk drivers. We worked together and sponsored legislation that tripled the sentences for drunk drivers that kill people in car crashes. We enacted legislation that will finally deal with repeat offenders and bar access to their vehicles after their second DUI arrest. We will continue working to keep citizens safe as public safety remains one of our top priorities.

In Conclusion

We work for you and are a unified team that, while sometimes differing in views on issues, always come together to do what is right for the communities of the 31st Legislative District and the state. Much is made of the partisan divide, but we are proof that common ground can be found by building a coalition from the middle outward.

We both supported the state budget this year, key job-creation reforms, educational outcomes and teacher support measures and a host of other bills. What is most important is that we sit down together as your team to find solutions that allow us to represent you to the best of our abilities.

Our hope is you will keep the two-way dialogue with us going and that you’ll call or e-mail us with questions, concerns and good ideas. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

U.S. DOJ grant to fund 5 Auburn Police officers For the Reporter

The Auburn Police Department is getting five new officers, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice grant under the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program.

Auburn is one of five police departments in Western Washington to be awarded the DOJ grants to fund additional officers, U.S. At-

torney Jenny A. Durkan announced last week.

The Auburn Police Department received $625,000 to fund the five police positions.

The Seattle Police Department received the largest grant – $1.25 million – for 10 officer positions.

Pierce County, Port Angeles and Sequim each received $125,000 to

fund the salary and benefits of one police officer.

This year’s grants are particularly focused on those departments developing school safety programs.

“Every additional cop on the streets helps community safety. These grants focus on needs identified by communities,” Durkan said. “We know that 10 new officers in Seattle

providers, survivors and citizens, to rally against domestic violence.

Police officers from King County Sheriff ’s Office, Auburn, Kent, Federal Way and other South King agencies will gather along with the King County Prosecutor’s Office and municipal prosecutor’s offices.

The rally will move from the outside steps to the third floor rotunda in the event of inclement weather.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and other local law enforcement officials will attend the rally.

Four police officers from the City of Auburn will be recognized for their efforts against domestic violence.

King County Prosecutors contend that a homeless man jailed on suspicion of stealing a gun from his former housemates also cut Auburn resident Wayne McCune’s throat Aug. 2 to steal his prescription medications.

Prosecutors last week charged 43-year-old Jason Gamache with McCune’s murder.

According to court records, when McCune’s wife returned home to their C Street Southeast duplex that day, she found her husband half buried under a filing cabinet. According to what she later told police, she at first thought her husband had killed himself because, she said, he suffered from debilitating ailments and had been looking for ways to take his own life.

But when the King

County Medical Examiner’s autopsy revealed defensive wounds on McCune’s hands, and wounds in the chest, neck and head, it became apparent he had not killed himself. He bled to death from a wound to his neck.

According to court documents Gamache had left Auburn suddenly Aug. 2, the day of the murder, without first informing the people with whom he had been staying. Discovering the 43-year-old transient sleeping in his car in the parking lot of the Snoqualmie Casino during the late hours of Aug. 7, police arrested and charged him with stealing a .22-caliber rifle from the home where he had been staying.

According to court records, Gamache also had prescription medication in his possession that matched what was known to be missing from McCune’s home.

Couple charged with overdosing infant on methadone

King County Prosecutors have accused an Auburn couple of giving their 6-week-old baby son methadone.

Stacie McKay, 28, and Darin Teeters, 26, were charged last week with second-degree assault of a child.

They are to be arraigned Monday at the Maleng Regional Justice Center

According to court records, on Saturday, Sept. 13, McKay put into her expressed breast milk a small amount of the prescribed methadone she uses and left the apartment.

Although the child started to have trouble breathing soon after Teeters fed him, according to court records, 25 to 30 minutes passed before his parents decided

Priorities?

Parties clash over campaign cash amid shutdown Nothing feeds a politician’s campaign coffers quite like a good partisan fight.

So it’s no surprise Democratic and Republican members of Congress across the country and here in Washington seized on Monday’s showdown then shutdown to raise campaign cash.

“Leadership is a privilege that House Republicans have done little to earn,” began an earnest email sent out by Democratic Congressman Rep. Rick Larsen of Everett. “This lack of leadership is about to result in a government shutdown.”

A few paragraphs later he concludes by asking for “$5, $10 or $25 to show the House Republicans that we’re fed up with their games and distractions. Stand with me, and let the majority party know that they need to earn the privilege of leadership.”

Fundraisers for Democratic Rep. Suzan DelBene of Medina struck a more strident note with the freshman congresswoman’s donors.

“You’ve seen how Tea Party Republicans are willing to shut down the government and threaten the full faith and credit of the United States to try to get their way — we can’t afford to give them a chance in our state,” reads her email. “We need your help right now to ensure Suzan’s seat stays out of Tea Party hands.”

As they and other members of Congress tried to cash in on the political brawl, a leader of Common Cause urged them to stand down.

“One would hope that every member would be so embarrassed by this breakdown that they would voluntarily suspend fundraising,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, senior vice president for strategy and programs for the nonpartisan political reform group.

Neither Larsen nor DelBene is facing a challenger in 2014. At least not yet.

Avenue Theater is losing endeavor for the City Regarding Robert Whales article (“City mulls Avenue Theater’s future, whether to renew lease”, Auburn Reporter, Sept. 27): While I find the article somewhat informative, there seem to be a few important facts left out.

The City agreed to lease a dilapidated building, with an assessed value of $195,000, for $66,000 a year for 15 years.

They also agreed, without even inspecting the structural integrity, to take responsibility for every aspect of the buildings costs, repairs and maintenance.

Who does that?

Immediately after signing the lease, it was discovered that the building was in such bad shape that it would need $100,000 in “emergency” repairs, thereby bypassing any bidding process and hiring a company of their choosing.

And the costs kept coming.

Even if the City’s numbers are correct, and theater goers actually spent an average of $23 per visit to local businesses, a number I find hard to believe, it still doesn’t begin to make a dent in the annual cost of almost $500,000.

Revitalize people and their needs Our City of Auburn is concerned about “revitalization,” especially of the downtown area. Although this seems commendable, citizens should ask what revitalization really means. It also should be asked if private economic and outside interests are pushing other agendas. I do not believe the proposed tax breaks should favor one segment of our population over another.

Real revitalization starts with the people of Auburn, their needs and goals. Senior citizens and young families are struggling to make ends meet.

They should not have to pay to provide favors to developers.

So what positive actions can individuals take to help revitalize Auburn? Of course, we need to keep watch on our political process so that our elected officials fairly represent our interests. Discussion in our newspapers is an important involvement. But there are many other individual contributions we can make.

Grocery workers authorize strike; talks resume Oct. 10

By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com

Grocery workers in Western Washington gave a 98 percent approval to authorize a strike against Fred Meyer, Safeway, QFC and Albertsons stores.

Dave Schmitz, president of UFCW 21, announced the vote results Sept. 26. Workers in King, Snohomish, Kitsap and Pierce counties voted over the last several days about whether to

No need to redivide vets with memorial For the past couple of weeks, I’ve read, with much interest, the ongoing dialog regarding a proposed Joint American-Vietnamese War Memorial in a City of Auburn park. I’ve finally decided to offer my two cents worth.

As part of my 24 years in the military, I spent two

Management is still proposing a contract that would cut pay (including holiday pay) and cut benefits (including elimination of health care coverage for those working less than 30 hours a week), according to UFCW 21.

tours plus a few extra days in Vietnam. Geographically, parts of the country were very pretty but practically, it was two years I felt were wasted. While half the people seemed genuinely grateful that we were there, the other half was more than happy to take what we had to offer only to turn around and help the Viet Cong. Most of the time I found it extremely difficult to separate the two halves.

Now a lot of Vietnamese are in the “promised land,” and locally they want a “joint” memorial to a war neither of us wanted. I do not feel the need to be reminded of their participation, or lack thereof, and certainly don’t need a joint memorial to help me remember. If they want a memorial, let them purchase their own land somewhere and build their own memorial on it.

Scott Powers, the lead negotiator for Allied Employers, which represents Albertsons, Fred Meyer, QFC and Safeway, said in an email last week he expected

DaCorsi has a proven record I am writing to endorse Claude DaCorsi for Auburn City Council.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with Claude in his role as director of the King County Housing Authority’s Capital Construction Department. He has led the drive to increase and improve affordable housing for families throughout the county.

Under Claude’s leadership, tens of millions of dollars of capital improvements for housing for lowincome and at-risk families have been created in King County, providing a safe and stable environment for parents and children who have battled through the economic downturn. This work requires a detailed understanding of regulatory regimes, government funding programs, environmental and labor issues, public bids, and the regional political climate.

Claude has demonstrated an exceptional ability to

navigate these complex environments and get things done – as hundreds of families who now have improved affordable housing can attest. Creating this housing has also created over 200 family-wage jobs, increased public safety, improved public infrastructure and boosted local economic development.

Claude’s understanding of the real-life issues families confront in our communities is what drives his successful implementation of sustainable solutions, and his strategic vision and management skills will be invaluable in meeting current and future challenges in Auburn.

If I lived in Auburn, Claude would have my vote, because he has a proven record of delivering real improvements for the quality of life in this community.

A need for local control Citizens and elected officials are losing local control in some American cities.

Why? One organization encouraging this is “ICLEI” (once called International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives). The overall, yet stealth, ICLEI agenda is to shift transportation, land use and other decisions to unelected staff, and to county or higher level bureaucrats.

Public opposition has been voiced to Auburn’s liaison with ICLEI. As a result, Mayor Pete Lewis and Councilman John Partridge asked for a review by all council members. Mayor Lewis said ICLEI software was first used for a specific purpose but that was fulfilled a long time ago, and he wonders why we are still members ($1,200 for annual dues alone).

In the commercial sector, the City had issued 265 commercial permits as of the close of August, with a valuation of $112 million, compared to 182 to date last year with a total valuation of $55 million. The commercial valuation number does not include the future Trek Apartments on the old Cavanaugh block, any Green River Community College projects or any of O’Reilly Auto Parts several commercial projects.

“Those projects are probably north of $35 million, and they are close to being issued right now,” Lein said.

“We’re way ahead of last year in those areas.”

As of August, the City had issued 146 new business licenses, down from 196 for the same period in 2012.

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] Prospects of lawmakers passing a transportation funding package in a special session next month are dimming rapidly.

Republican senators are in no hurry to act on a $10 billion proposal put forth

by Democrats, and they haven’t been for some time.

It’s not what’s in it per se, though most members of the Senate Majority Coalition shudder at the inclusion of a 10.5-cent per gallon increase in the gas tax.

It’s what’s missing: all of the 10 reforms of state transportation policy offered up by the coalition this summer.

Unless and until some of those proposed changes find their way into the proposal, they won’t be in the mood to pursue, let alone forge, an agreement.

“We’ve got to have some of these reforms,” said Sen. Curtis King, R-Yakima, the coalition’s point-man on transportation. “Not all 10 but at least three or four of them. If we don’t get a substantial number of the reforms, we won’t have

“The licenses that are being issued are multipleemployee type companies, rather than the trend that we had for a couple years before – a lot of one-person, home businesses that people started when they couldn’t find employment,” Lein explained.

Sales tax revenue was $9.2 million, up $900,000 over the $8.3 million at the same time last year.

The real estate excise tax collections were $1.3 million, compared to $883,000 as of August of 2012.

As of the end of August 2013, the City had applied for $4.2 million in grants and received about $5 million. No figures were available for last year.

To translate those figures into brick, mortar, wood and glass, here are some of the commercial projects in progress right now: • The Trek Apartments, groundbreaking at 2 p.m.

Oct. 10 on Main Street.

• The Outlet Collection |Seattle: Glimcher’s $34 million upgrade of the Supermall; the grand opening agreement on a revenue package because we won’t have enough votes to get it out of our caucus.”

King singled out three: streamlining the permit process, including rolling back state-imposed rules on environmental protection that exceed federal requirements; revamping the way the state builds ferries and allowing companies outside of Washington to build them; and redirecting sales tax collected on construction projects from the state’s general fund into transportation.

None of these are new issues for lawmakers, yet there have been few serious conversations on incorporating them into a final deal.

Part of the reason is King and his caucus colleagues are still busy traveling the state to solicit opinions on raising revenue and making reforms. Their listening tour wraps up later this month.

The point is to relieve traffic congestion and complete critical freight links between the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle and key distribution centers and warehouses in both counties. White said that doing so would support regional job and economic growth at the two ports and add 10-to-20 percent more capacity to I-5 through express toll lanes, thereby reducing congestion and travel times between Seattle and Tacoma.

And the project would support master land use plans and economic development plans of cities along the Gateway corridors The state’s plan calls for the 167 and 507 corridor projects to be bundled financially with proposed I-5 express toll lanes. Everything would be built at the same time, to create, White said, more of “a holistic, fair and equitable approach.”

Cost estimates for Phase 1 Plans show that the total cost estimate for the first phase of the Gateway project is $1.73 billion, divided as follows: $824 million for 167; $758 million for 509; and $140 million for the I-5 express lanes. The State House in 2013 passed a bill that adopted this plan, but the State Senate did not follow up.

The DOT is proposing to fund the project with $330 million in potential toll revenue and $130 million in stakeholder partnerships.

Given the $1.1 to $1.5 billion funding gap, the DOT will rely on new state revenue from the Legislature either in a special 2013 session, or in regular session in 2014, and apply to federal grant programs.

The largest source of state funding would be the gas tax.

“We’re looking to the Legislature

www.auburn-reporter.com and the governor’s office to hopefully take action,” White said, adding that, should all the funding be in place by 2014, and updates completed on the environmental impact statements (EIS) for both corridors, and designs updated, and all right of way acquired, construction could begin by 2017. And under that optimistic scenario, the work could be finished by 2021.

“We just don’t want to count on it right now,” White cautioned of that timeline. “Right now we have something of a play-it-safe schedule.”

Here is a summary of the work:

State Route 167 Extension of 167 from SR 161, where it now ends, and connecting the highway to 509 west of I-5, as follows: • A new lane in each direction between 161 at Meridian Street in Puyallup and Valley Avenue in Sumner and a second lane in each direction between Valley Avenue and 54th Avenue East • Replacement of the Porter Way overpass • Completion of the interchange at 161 • Replacement of 70th Avenue East from 20th Street East to SR 99 • New interchanges: 167 at I-5; to and from east at 54th Avenue East; to and from west at Valley Avenue; and to and from east at Freeman Road.

State Route 509 Extension of 509, which starts at the First Avenue South bridge in South Seattle and ends at South 188th Street, parallel to Sea-Tac Airport, as follows: • Adding one new lane in each direction between South 188th Street and 28th/24th Avenues south

• Adding a second lane in each direction between I-5 and 28th/24th Avenues south • Adding truck climbing lanes in each direction, as needed, where the grades are steep • Completion of the interchange at South 188th Street and 509 • Replacement of the interchange at SR 516 to include new I-5 collector distributor connections • A new southbound I-5 lane between 516 and South 272nd Street • New interchanges: at 509 and I-5; to and from east at 28th and 24th Avenue South; and to South 231st Way and the Auburn Valley.

As to phasing of the corridor projects, White said, “Everything is built around tolling.”

“The presumption for 167 and 509 is that both corridors would have all (HOV) lanes tolled – what we call variable tolling – the same story as for 520. During a peak period, you would pay more of a premium toll, when time is money, and your commute trip is valuable and there’s a lot of demand out there. During the offpeak periods, there would be a very modest toll,” White said.

I-5 Express toll lanes • Phase 1, conversion of the existing I-5 HOV lane to an express toll lane between I-90 and SR 16. In Phase 2 the state would add a second express toll lane between 509 and 167 and direct connections at the 509 and 167 interchanges.

“Would the toll eventually go away?” Councilwoman Largo Wales asked.

“I can’t give a definitive answer to that,” White said, noting that the Legislature “holds all the cards.”

Wales also criticized the plan for not asking enough from the business community.

Justin Hanson, as Young Frankenstein’s monster, rehearses the musical number, “Putting On the Ritz.”

SHAWN SKAGer, Auburn Reporter

[ MUSICAL from page 1 ] The musical, written by Brooks, features Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the original Dr. Frankenstein, who discovers he has inherited his grandfather’s castle in Transylvania. He travels to investigate the property and the musical hijinks ensue, with the young Frankenstein eventually creating his own version of the monster.

“Basically, what they did is take every joke that you love from the movie and turned it into a song,” Cox said.

The Auburn Community Players’ production of the musical features 25 cast members, eight behind-thescenes production people and three musicians providing the music.

Cox, a huge fan of the original film, which he has seen at least 20 times, said casting was a bit of a challenge for him.

“Because it’s such an iconic movie, there were some casting decisions,” Cox said.

“I just wasn’t sure if I was going to get what I needed to pull off the parts. I think the monster in the beginning was the hardest part. For one reason or another, theater people tend to be of average height. So finding a guy (Justin Hanson), who next to them seemed giant, was a challenge.”

Another huge part of Cox’s casting dilemma was detaching from his preconceived notions of what actors in the roles should look like, based on his love of the movie.

“I think Marty Feldman (as Igor) is the hardest to detach from, and after that Cloris Leachman (as Frau Blücher),” he said. “Luck-

ily, Carrie Sleeper-Bowers, who’s been a part of the Auburn Community Players in the past, auditioned, and she’s basically Cloris Leachman. We lucked out with that one.”

Another challenge for the production, which has been in the works for seven weeks, has been the set, Cox said.

“It’s one set essentially, but everything turns, flips or opens to do our set changes,” he said. “There are a few things that come on and off stage, but for this one I really tried hard to make sure that everything you see stays on stage. In the past we’ve had minuteand-a-half long set changes, which in show time is forever.”

Cox said the decision to put on the musical, which is more adult-oriented than the troupe’s typical fare, was a conscious one.

“We decided to do something that pushed the envelope in the fall, that would fall in line with Halloween, with the idea that our next show would be more family friendly,” Cox said.

Pacific City Park closed for season The City of Pacific closed Pacific City Park for the winter on Tuesday. The park is closed every year from Oct. 1 to April 1 to facilitate the placing of HESCO barriers – used to control flooding – across the entrances to the park.

More than 4,000 linear feet of barriers were placed in Pacific after the 2009 floods to help channel any floodwater into the park. Neighborhoods bordering the White River – which flows through the park – were flooded during a U.S. Corps of Engineers water release from Mud Mountain Dam in 2009. The park is located at 600 3rd Ave. SE.

With the recent loss of Pacific Partnerships’ nonprofit status, the City’s new administration looks to form its own 501(c) organization to fill gaps in funding for Pacific’s Parks Board and its senior and youth programs.

For nearly three years, Pacific Partnerships – a community volunteer organization that lost its nonprofit standing in August – acted as the point organization for Guier grants and banking for the Pacific Senior and Youth Center, as well as for the Pacific Parks Board.

“Basically, they were where the grants flowed through,” Mayor Leanne Guier said.

“They facilitated all the grants.

Once upon a time, the senior center had a committee that did all that over there.”

But in 2010, after a rift developed between the City and members of the PacificAlgona Community Center Nonprofit Board over alleged theft of kitchen utensils, the board moved its permanent home to neighboring Algona.

The loss left a void in the funding mechanism for the City’s senior and youth centers, making it impossible for the organizations to apply for grants or offer tax deductions for donations.

“Partnerships stepped in and filled that void,” Guier said.

According to Ann Smith, volunteer and spokesperson for Pacific Partnerships – which organizes many of the town’s community events, including Pacific Days – her organization took over banking for the groups, and for the Pacific Park Board. It also oversaw the application and distribution of several grants,

including the funding for the senior center’s Stone Soup Monday free lunch.

In August, however, Pacific Partnerships received a letter from the IRS informing the organization that accounting and reporting errors over the past three years had cost it its nonprofit status, Smith said.

“I have a CPA working on that, and we’re going through banking information through here to get everything the IRS needs,” Smith said. “I feel it’s important that our citizens know that we haven’t just let it slide, and that we’re actively looking to reinstate our status.”

Smith added that she expects the group’s accountant to be done filing the information with the IRS within a couple of weeks, and a reinstatement to follow soon after.

In the meantime, the senior and youth centers and the parks board are unable to apply for grants and cannot grant tax write-offs for donations, that could cut into food commodities received from the federal government and aid received from organizations likes World Vision.

Despite the likely reinstatement of Pacific Partnerships’ nonprofit status, Guier said, she feels the time is right for the City to step up and form a nonprofit to oversee donations.

“It really should have been done sooner,” she said. “We should have formed another 501c3 to oversee the senior and youth centers to ensure those grants. With everything that was going on, though, it kind of fell through the gaps and never got looked at. It really isn’t Partnerships job to facilitate that. That’s not what their role in the city is.

“With this happening, I feel that this forces us to move

on something the city should have done a long time ago,” she added.

Guier said she has asked the City’s Human Services Committee to form a board with a councilmember, a pair of city staff members and four citizens that will form a new nonprofit to keep grants and donations flowing.

“I’ve asked the committee to start working and moving forward on that,” she said.

“That way this organization can take care of all the grants that normally go toward nonprofits to help our citizens,” Guier said. “This just forced our hand at doing something that should have been done a long time ago. We can’t leave it on the back burner now.”

Despite the loss of funding for some programs, Guier said, most of the programs, including the daily lunches, will continue.

Guier also emphasized that Pacific Partnerships is not to blame for the loss of funding.

“Partnerships have done so much for the city. Their people have done so much for the city,” she said. “I don’t want to paint them in a negative way.

There has been concern and a lot of disgruntled feelings about it. But they should have never been put in the position to facilitate our grants. Thank heaven they did though.”

Pawsitive Alliance, Humane Society join forces to boost adoptions, raise awareness

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Some 40,000 to 60,000 adoptable cats and kittens, puppies and dogs are put to death in the state each year – because there is no room at the shelters.

By increasing adoptions, by supporting spay and neuter programs and by improving pet retention throughout the state, Pawsitive Alliance hopes to end these euthanizations.

You can help.

Come to the Auburn Valley

Humane Society’s animal shelter between noon and 6 p.m. Saturday for AVHS’ celebration and Pawsitive Alliance’s second annual Statewide Shelter Open House Event.

The goal is to shine a light not only on AVHS but also on other animal shelters throughout the state and the homeless animals in their care.

For the event, Pawsitive Alliance is working with more than a dozen animal shelters to promote and help them grow their adopter, donor and volunteer bases – and to raise awareness of the good work that they do on.

Animal welfare organizations

involved in the event are: Auburn Valley Humane Society, Auburn Homeward Pet Adoption Center, Woodinville Humane Society of Skagit County, Burlington Metro Animal Services, Sumner/Puyallup Regional Animal Services of King County, Kent Thurston County – Joint Animals Services and the Olympia Wenatchee Valley Humane Society in Wenatchee.

To learn more, call 206-486-4738 or visit www.pawsitivealliance.org.

Visit www.AuburnValleyHS.org to view the animals that are available for adoption and help save lives.

Open house When: Noon-6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5.

Where: Auburn Valley Humane Society, 4910 A St. SE, Auburn What: AVHS shelter opens its doors to host an open house and bring community members in as honored guests – and the animals will be forever grateful as they are adopted out to their forever homes.

Theme: “Black is Back”.

Any animal with black will be eligible for a 50-percent reduction of the adoption fee.

Fun events: Hourly drawings, raffle basket drawings, freebies, and much more.

AVCA fundraiser is on Oct. 19 Auburn Valley Creative Arts will stage its autumn auction benefit, Just Desserts, on Oct. 19 at Copper Falls Restaurant on the Auburn Golf Course, 29630 Green River Road SE.

Metz added: “The trainer title (means a lot) just because that’s about consistency over time,” Metz said.

Metz added that it also parlays into more work with local owners.

“The last month some local Washington owners have called,” he said. “Most of the horses I’ve been training are from owners in California and Arizona. So this opens doors with the locals. Some of them are actually going to send horses down T:4.8333” to me at Turf Paradise.”

Coming into Emerald Downs’ 2013 session, trainer and owner Jeff Metz had modest aspirations.

For years a fixture at tracks in California and at Turf Paradise in Phoenix, the Californian just completed his first season in the Pacific Northwest.

“I was just hoping to be in the top three, so people knew we were there, so they knew there was a new face in town,” he said.

This past weekend Metz proved he was more than just a new face at Emerald Downs, by snagging three coveted season honors, including: Trainer of the Year, with 42 winners saddled; Owner of the Year with 20 wins for his stable Saratoga West; and Best Older Filly or Mare for E.Z. Kitty, which he trains for owner Bruce Maller.

“I never would have thought I’d do this good,” Metz said.

For much of the season Metz traded leads in the trainer race with perennial contender Frank Lucarelli, who finished with 39 wins.

“I knew some guys had bigger barns, so I was surprised,” he said.

“But we stayed steady the whole season. Some trainers started hot, and some finished hot, but we were consistent the whole time. We were first and second in the standings the whole time.”

The See Ya Later Foundation hosts its third annual auction and dinner on Saturday at Emerald Downs in Auburn.

The events starts at 5 p.m. with dinner service at 6:30.

Guest speaker is Ariana Kukors, an Auburn Mountainview graduate and a Pac-10 champion at the University of Washington who competed in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.

Kukors, Auburn’s first Kukors Olympian since Al Rossi competed as a member of the bronze medal-winning men’s rowing team in 1952, placed fifth in the 200-meter individual medley in London. She set the world record of 2 minutes, 6.15 seconds in Rome in 2009.

Tickets are $50 per person.

Proceeds benefit the SYL Foundation, a nonprofit, faith-based and nondenominational organization designed to help families fraught by medical crises and to provide college scholarships to local youth who are making an impact in the community.

For more information, please contact event coordinator Brian Williams at 253332-5144 or brian.williams@seeyalater. org.

Auburn Symphony Orchestra presents Triumph of Tchaikovsky

Kukors to speak at SYL Dinner and Auction benefit

Auburn Symphony Orchestra continues its 2013-14 season performing one of Tchaikovsky’s best, Symphony No. 4, on Oct. 12, 13 at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, 206 E St. NE. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 13.

Gone is Tchaikovsky’s youthfulness in a work that pushes the boundaries of defiance, hope, resignation and triumph.

Seattle-based pianist Mark Salman returns for his third appearance with the Auburn Symphony, performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, a work known as one of the greatest in the genre of solo keyboard with orchestral accompaniment.

The program also features Beethoven’s dramatic Coriolan Overture.

Prior to the performance, conductor Stewart Kershaw and KUOW host Dave Beck will give a pre-concert lecture, focusing on the composers and their works.

The concerts are sponsored in large part by the City of Auburn.

Reserved seats are $34 adults, $27 seniors and $10 students. To order tickets, call 253-887-7777, or purchase online at auburnsymphony.org.
