Candidates square off

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Two mayoral candidates and six City Council hopefuls took the stage in a public debate last week, tackling everything from finding funding for road maintenance and construction to the acceptability of marijuana-

related businesses in Auburn, to the wisdom or folly of the direction in which the City is now headed.

The debate – a two-hour question-and-answer session sponsored by the Auburn Reporter and the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce at the Auburn Avenue

Theater on Oct. 9 – shed some light on the candidates’ views.

The general election is Nov. 5.

In an unusual debate format, candidates were provided with questions ahead of time and given 30 seconds to answer them. [ more DEBATE page 9 ]

Even a little fall of rain couldn’t squib the celebratory mood of the crowd that showed up to listen to officials go on about the project on Oct. 10 and to watch honchos toss a few symbolic shovels full of dirt after the tongues fell silent. [ more PROJECT page 8 ]

More than 200 volunteers from Delta Air Lines, the City of Auburn, the Auburn Food Bank, organizers from KaBOOM! and Auburn-area residents join forces on Saturday to build a new playground at Brannan Park, 611 28th St. NE. The new playground’s design is based on drawings created by children who participated in a design day event in August.

The new playground will provide hundreds of children in the community with a safe place to play. The existing playground at Brannan Park is more than 30 years old and in need of replacement.

The playground – the first built by KaBOOM! and Delta Air Lines – is one of more than 150 playground builds KaBOOM! will lead throughout the country this year in an effort to fulfill its vision of a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America.

Saturday's program kicks off with a ceremony and volunteer deployment at 8:30 a.m.

Construction is expected to be completed around 2:30 p.m. A ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the new play area is scheduled for approximately 3 p.m.

Mayor Pete Lewis and Mike Medeiros, Delta vice president, Seattle, are scheduled to speak.

TOP Food and Drug stores to close in Auburn, Kent Reporter staff

TOP Food and Drug stores in Auburn, Kent and Yakima will shut down within the next three months.

Bellingham-based Haggen Inc., announced the three store closures Tuesday in a media release as part of its long-term transformation plan to improve its overall business performance and strengthen its competitive position.

The Auburn store is at 1702

Auburn Way N., the Kent store at 26015 104th Ave. SE. “We continue to drive against our plan to transform all of our stores to deliver the best in quality and service to our valued customers.

Unfortunately, this transformation necessitates the closings we are announcing today,” said Clement Stevens, co-president and senior vice president of merchandising. “We are confident these changes will better position Haggen to deliver

Public invited to opening of Lea Hill Park Oct. 30 The public is invited to attend a special ribbon-cutting ceremony in celebration of the opening of Lea Hill Park at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30 at the new park site, the corner of 124th Avenue SE and SE 316th St. The new Lea Hill Park is a 7-acre parcel that the City of Auburn acquired as part of a land exchange with Green River Community College. The former park on SE 320th Street will become the new Green River Community College Trades Center Building.

on its commitment to its customers for the years to come.

“We realize how this difficult decision to close stores will impact many of our valued employees and their families. With the help of our local unions we are diligently working to place employees at other Haggen stores and other local retailers.”

Stevens added one more statement: “We greatly appreciate the pa-

tronage of our customers. We hope customers of the Auburn and Kent TOP stores will consider shopping at our Haggen in Lake Tapps. We also hope Yakima shoppers continue to shop at other independent grocers that support local farmers and food producers.”

Founded in 1933, Haggen operates 20 stores in Washington and Oregon under the Haggen Northwest Fresh and TOP Food & Drug names.

Time to heal the rift, support war memorial Thank you for publishing letters regarding the proposed Joint American/Vietnamese War Memorial. Most letters have been from American veterans, so I feel it is important to share the Vietnamese refugee perspective.

I am Lan Phan Jones, daughter of a South Vietnamese soldier and co-president of the American-Vietnamese War Memorial Alliance. I want Auburn residents to understand why we are proposing this memorial and what it means to Vietnamese refugees in this community.

First, the joint memorial honors the 58,000 American and 250,000 South Vietnamese and allied soldiers who gave their lives in the struggle for freedom in Vietnam. They deserve to be remembered and honored. The controversy surrounding the Vietnam War does not diminish their sacrifice or heroism.

Contrary to Ron Jacobson’s letter to the Auburn Reporter (“No need to redivide vets with memorial”, Oct. 4), there are good precedents for recognizing the South Vietnamese. The Korean War memorial in Olympia displays the South Korean Flag and inscriptions in the Korean language. The citizens of Texas, Florida, Kansas, California and Australia have built joint American-Vietnamese memorials, which can be viewed on our website – honorvietnamvets.org.

To the surviving American and Allied veterans, we Vietnamese want to say “thank you” for supporting South Vietnam’s struggle for freedom and democracy and against communist control. You are heroes to the South Vietnamese.

Jesse Jose’s letter to the Reporter (“War memorial has divided us”, Sept. 27) says he does not want to be reminded of his Vietnam War service. He says the proposed memorial stirs feelings of shame and guilt rather than pride. Most Vietnam veterans served with honor and pride, and no Vietnam veteran should feel shame or guilt for serving their country. [ more GUEST OP page 7 ]

Enough negative campaigning; Backus is the choice I’m frustrated with many of the letters regarding the mayoral campaign. It seems as though every week we are bombarded with the negative campaigning of John Partridge supporters trying to discredit Nancy Backus at every turn.

The continuous assault of twisted truths and half-lies is unacceptable to me. For example, the letters regarding the appointment of Scot Pondelick: Yes, it’s true he did not make it past the primary.

And yes, it’s true he was appointed to the City’s Planning Commission (a non-payinglots-of-work job) shortly after.

The letters made it sound like Scot’s appointment was a backroom, shady deal with money exchanged at the hands of Nancy.

Well, here are some more facts:

So, to those who have written half-truths in an effort to make your candidate look good, it’s not working. Here’s an idea: try writing a positive letter about your candidate without discrediting the other candidate.

Nancy cares about her community. She has been on the council for 10 years. She knows the issues and has had an active hand in making our community better.

I hope all of you get an opportunity to talk to her about her part in the M Street funding for the train overpass, the Save Our Streets program, the improved community outreach and funding for additional police officers. If you listen to her speak, you will hear the passion for her city.

their say.

That’s why I-517 is so important. I-517’s primary policy change is guaranteeing you the right to vote on qualified initiatives. With I-517, if the initiative qualifies, then the voters decide.

That policy is endorsed by the state supreme court.

In a unanimous ruling, they wrote: “Because ballot measures are often used to

www.auburn-reporter.com express popular will and to send a message to elected representatives, pre-election review unduly infringes on free speech.”

That’s what really moves me about I-517 – it guarantees that the people get to vote on qualified initiatives.

Whether the initiative is liberal or conservative is not the issue. What matters is this: did the citizens follow the rules and collect the

required number of voter signatures in the required time frame? If the answer to that question is yes, then I-517 guarantees a vote.

That’s how it works with state initiatives and I-517 simply applies that same protection to local initiatives. I strongly support that.

I-517 also gives everyone greater access to the initiative process. Since 1912,

F R A N C I S C A N F O OT & A N K L E A S S O C I AT E S

the number of signatures required to qualify for the ballot has skyrocketed almost tenfold, while the time to manually collect signatures has remained the same at six months. Oregon allows two years; Idaho allows a year and a half. I-517 simply matches the national average, which is one year to collect signatures. More time means grassroots groups can qualify without big money.

I-517 does one other thing that’s really important: it stops initiative opponents from bullying people who want to sign an initiative petition. Bullying – on sidewalks, walkways, and other public places – is

Backus has ‘the right stuff’ to be our mayor We all have heard of the term, “the right stuff.” Let’s put it into perspective. I’m talking about the mayor race here in the great city of Auburn. “The right stuff ” to lead this city into the future is our own homegrown Nancy Backus.

Nancy has the credentials for continuing street improvements. I heard about the recent debate at the Ave Theater, that she’ll promote putting the lower street speed limits back to where they use to be in our town before the road levy initiative was defeated. This is a sensible beginning when she starts her term as mayor. She is all for hiring 10 more cops for public safety to keep city crime down to a minimum for all citizens.

I’m not going to expound on her financial capabilities.

We all know she is capable of using her talents from her education and business background. Let’s focus on her dealing with people and decision making. She is compassionate, she values your concerns, she is a good listener, she doesn’t sway to anyone, she is willing to compromise to fix a problem and she loves this town.

This is why Nancy “has the right stuff ” to lead this town ahead into the future.

A lack of sports coverage Just writing to say that the Auburn Reporter’s lack of coverage of local high school sports over the last month in your printed paper is a bit of a letdown. Other than football, you have hardly even noted the accomplishments of the athletes who are participating in all the other fall sports.

As much as I love watching high school football, it would be nice if you could find some space in your paper to recognize how all the other teams are doing too.

Auburn officials establish ground rules for placing monuments on City-owned property Auburn’s leaders recently adopted new rules tooled to strengthen the City’s hand dealing with requests to place large monuments on City property.

While the backdrop is obviously the continuing debate over whether a Joint American/ Vietnamese Memorial should be built in Veterans Memorial Park, a stone’s throw from the existing memorial, City officials are adamant that the ordinance is not about that issue.

City officials were surprised to find out in the midst of the debate about the joint American/Vietnamese memorial that they had no process in place to deal with applications for larger

[ GUEST OP from page 5 ] For those who regret some personal action we have a special message: You are still loved for your willingness to serve. The war took your youth and innocence, and we honor that sacrifice. We are sorry for what you have been through. Nobody can change what happened to American and South Vietnamese veterans – we both lost. We cannot give you back your youth, pay back your service, or bring the dead back to life, but we can show our gratitude. We want your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and future generations to be proud that you fought for freedom in a far off land. Please, let your mind

monuments, other than to send the requests along to the Parks Commission.

At that point, they decided that purview should be with the City Council alone.

Heid The new ordinance takes to the mayor completely out of the decisionmaking process but leaves him or her with administrative tasks.

“The mayor specifically does not want to have control of the process, and all those sections were taken out,” said Mayor Pete Lewis.

Committee members also cut language that would have restricted council purview strictly to outdoor monuments and

be open to grieve with us and accept our thanks. You deserve a peaceful heart.

God bless.

The joint memorial is a lesson to the Auburn community and future generations. The Vietnamese know the price of freedom. We do not have a lot of words because our English is limited. When we display the yellow flag with three red stripes we need no words. That flag means we value freedom and we honor those willing to fight and die for freedom. And it means we are proud of Vietnam War soldiers.

We are not defeated because the love of freedom cannot be extinguished from the human heart. As the U.S. Declaration of Independence says, we believe

that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When we display the yellow and three red stripes flag we let the world know that we are willing to fight and die for these rights when necessary. The memorial honors all Americans and Allies who joined in that struggle.

VFW Post 1741 Commander Frank Bannister, Jesse Jose and Ron Jacobson have complained that the joint memorial is dividing the community. It is true that the proposal has stirred strong emotions and debate. But it is a healthy

dialogue touching wounds that must be aired to heal.

Out of the difference of opinion comes a better understanding.

Whether you supported or opposed the Vietnam War, I hope we can agree that those who served deserve our gratitude. We should not let the bitter emotions of a few prevent a joint memorial to honor all Vietnam veterans.

Auburn Parks policy has had plenty to say about City property vis-a-vis memorial trees, about commemorative plaques on benches, about stones, even about doggie poop bag dispensers ... the sorts of things people donate on behalf of a person or cause in which they believe. But as for larger monuments, memorials, even big art pieces and what their proponents have to do to get larger structures such as those approved for placement on City property, Auburn’s books until recently said nothing.

expanded it to include indoor monuments.

Where the original language would have created an individual approval process for each application, the new language creates a comprehensive approval process, said City Attorney Dan Heid. Heid said the rules will also give the City final say about the message the monument delivers.

“Everybody knows what free speech is, but there are times when, specifically with City property, the City Council gets to decide what the statement is, what the message is,” Heid said. “That’s what we wanted to do, that’s the reason this turned into an

I am really sad when Ron Jacobson compared South Vietnamese to German and Japanese. My father and the South Vietnamese soldiers fought side by side with American soldiers in the Vietnam War.

I want Americans to understand the difference.

region’s ports and boost maritime trade, manufacturing and tourism.

“It’s time for somebody to stand up and say, ‘This needs to be done, and here’s why,’” he said.

The Lewis-Creighton battle is one of four races for seats on the five-member Port board.

Lewis, who announced his candidacy in May, has picked up major endorsements, including the support of mayors of several regional cities – Kent, Renton, Federal Way and Tacoma. The Seattle Times recently endorsed Lewis, praising his “decorum and ethical leadership … and calm (demeanor).”

As Lewis sees it, with so much at stake, the Port needs to step up now.

The Puget Sound Region is under the threat of losing shipping business from competitors in British Columbia, Mexico and Southeast U.S. coastal cities because of the widening of the Panama Canal in 2015.

Furthermore, the Port of Seattle must negotiate and settle the possibility of a newly constructed sports arena in Sodo, and determine how a likely venue would affect area traffic, trucking routes and shipping costs.

The Port also must resolve how financially to complete and improve connecting infrastructure, namely finish State Routes 509 and 167 – critical freight links between the ports of Seattle and Tacoma and key distribution centers, warehouses and industrial areas in King and Pierce counties And the Port must contend with a push to move coal by rail to export terminals proposed in Longview and Bellingham.

Regarding global trade, the deep-water regional ports of Seattle and Tacoma stand to lose big if they don’t improve their own conditions, Lewis said.

Other locations, including Canada, are pouring

downtown.

“When they brought us this deal four years ago, we looked at it as a parking structure that we weren’t really sure what to do with,” McKenna said. “Subsequent to looking at this development, the City has gone the extra mile to provide us with the incentives that developers would like to see in order to develop in a community like this,” McKenna said.

Architect Charles Strizzara described the Trek Apartments as “a mixed-use community right on the 50-yard line in Auburn …

This is a good day coming.”

A patter of rain cut short the speechifying, driving officials toward the shovels sticking out of a mound of dirt trucked in specially for the occasion.

“Auburn, we’re on the move,” Lewis said. “And it might be considered” – here the crowd joined in – “more than you imagined.”

Work should get under way in about two weeks.

The Cavanaugh family was away at Washington State University and couldn’t attend the groundbreaking.

billions of dollars into their ports to lure shipping contracts.

“And we’ve done nothing,” Lewis said. “If we don’t fix it … and we’re running out of time … then we’re out of business.

“Either we show that we are going to fix the infrastructure or they start going to Prince Rupert or the Gulf (of Mexico) ports,” Lewis said. “We’ll end up with a bunch of 18-wheelers coming down I-5 and I-90 bringing goods here that cost 10 to 15 percent more than what we are paying today.”

Urgency calls for federal, state and local leaders to come up with a plan to step in to extend those vital corridors, Lewis said.

Regarding a new sports arena, Lewis says a compromise must be reached, one that requires an enhanced corridor for the Port that swiftly and effectively secures freight traffic during business hours outside of commute and game traffic.

Lewis says coal trains

offer no economic benefit to the area or the ports.

He suggests solving the infrastructure problem “so that the railroads don’t need to use coal as a replacement for containers.” The ports, with this approach, would profit, he said.

As commissioner, Lewis said, he would bridge gaps between the competitive ports, promote the commissioners board’s transparency, improve its reputation, and encourage public engagement while saving and adding jobs to the industry.

“This competition between two ports 20 miles apart hurts us all so much,” Lewis said. “You have to be able to work with people.

“I look for points of agreement,” he added. “Is there one thing we can agree on? Is there two, is there three? Let’s do that. After we have done that, let’s go back and see if there’s more we can do. I’ve done that most of my adult life”, Lewis said.

Lewis says he’s more than qualified to handle a tough job like that. As mayor, Lewis says, he understands how state and local government work and how vital freight mobility and transportation are to the economy.

“I’m used to working

with tough situations. I’m used to going into full rooms of Type A personalities who all know that if everybody listened to them, everything would be OK,” said the 67-year-old Lewis, who opposes incumbent John Creighton for Port of Seattle commissioner, Position No. 1, in the Nov. 5 general election. “I know how to get things done.”

It is a critical time, Lewis noted, to make an impact, to set a course for the

Trek Apartments will be a five-story, mixed-use retail and residential building, wrapped in a smart, red brick façade. At the base will be retail space composed of large storefronts with ceilings 18 feet high from floor-to-floor, a gym, a media center and a lounge area. Above that, four levels of apartment community living split between one and two-bedroom studios and one-bedroom dens, and a rooftop terrace for residents.

Long time coming, speakers agreed, recalling the downtown revitalization effort that started in 2003 and 2004 and laid the groundwork for reanimating a moribund downtown.

“We are so thrilled, and as everybody has said, this has been a long time in coming,” said Nancy Wyatt, COO of the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our mission is promoting business, advancing the economy, connecting communities, and you see all that coming to fruition here.”

Mayor Pete Lewis recalled four years of conversations in

a recession-addled economy during which no projects could get financing and when every day presented a new obstacle, including the discovery of an abandoned oil tank under the site.

That revelation held things up for six months.

He praised the revitalization financing and funding support “engineered” by Rep. Pat Sullivan (D-47th District), which, he said, allowed not only for construction of the adjacent Promenade but covered the cost of rebuilt pipes and pumps and a storm water detention pond that allowed a project like Trek Apartments to come together.

Lewis singled out John McKenna Jr. and Brett Jacobsen, principles of Landmark Development as “an outstanding, far-visioning group that really understands the need of our downtown.”

“We’re talking about a fivestory building, retail on the base, residential above that’s going to change our downtown,” Lewis said. He predicted that within a few years the project would add 800 to 900 residents to the

www.auburn-reporter.com John Partridge, a City Councilmember who is challenging Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus for mayor, worked his campaign’s underlying theme into many of his responses, presenting himself as the political outsider with fresh ideas and painting his opponent as an insider tied to the apron strings of the current regime in City Hall.

Time and again, Partridge returned to his important role bringing to Auburn the Auburn Valley Humane Shelter and its animal control officer.

“My priorities are clear: safety for our families and community; funding roads and walkways; and making sure solutions to your interests are heard and addressed.

Leadership needs to listen and be responsive to those they serve,” Partridge said.

Backus said her 10 years on the City Council would be an asset, not a liability, to the people of Auburn. She said those years have shown her how things work at City Hall. She also cited her financial expertise as a Boeing supervisor, the numerous rewards for her leadership style she has won over the years, and her 33 years of service with the Miss Auburn Scholarship Program.

And she offered another reason to support her.

“My collaborative leadership style as a woman: it’s time. It’s really time that you have the first female mayor in Auburn. And I am that leader,” Backus said.

A sampling of where the mayoral candidates stand on some issues of the day: Partridge said that when enterprise funds, which are supposed to be self supporting, run into trouble as has happened to the Auburn Golf Course, “Help should not be

[ ORCHESTRA from page 1 ] And for others, it’s simply about the music.

On Sunday the big band strains of the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra come alive at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, with a matinee of standards from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s.

“We’re preserving the American icon of the music of those days,” vocalist Kathy Knorr said. “And those that come to see it are just loving it. We still have people from that era coming, although many of them can’t dance like they did. They can still listen though.”

Jimmy Dorsey, along with his brother Tommy Dorsey, were among the mainstays of big band music in the early part of the last century.

extended on a permanent basis …

Our City representatives need to have an open discussion with the public to develop plans and goals to represent the best interests of this community. We cannot make emotional or irresponsible decisions with public monies.”

Legally, Backus answered the enterprise fund question, the City has no choice — it must cover those liabilities and obligations.

“Those liabilities aren’t for the Golf Course, those liabilities are for the City of Auburn. What would we benefit by defaulting on our obligation? It’s the debt of the clubhouse that has caused the shortfall,” Backus said, adding that the clubhouse was built when the national and local economies were more robust, and that the golf course suffered through several seasons with above-average rainfall. She said she believes the improving economy will help the golf course pay its own way.

Asked how she would work with Sound Transit to ensure that the agency fulfills its promise to complete a second parking garage at the Transit Station, Backus said Sound Transit Director Joni Earl had assured her that the agency is aware that it owes that second garage to the City of Auburn and that the project is on ST’s list of priorities.

Funding is tight, however, Backus said, so the City of Auburn, under her leadership, would continue to work with ST to find ways to pay for the garage. Backus guaranteed that she would continue her working relationship with Earl while she works to find short-term solutions to the parking crunch.

Partridge said the City needs to continue to use its regional and state relationships to negotiate the completion of the second parking garage. As with all negotiations, he said, the City needs to find out what The brothers – with Jimmy on saxophone, clarinet and trumpet and Tommy on trombone – started out together with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, but splintered in 1935 after an onstage argument about the tempo of a song.

Tommy started the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, and Jimmy continued on with the Dorsey Brothers, eventually renaming it the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.

Over the next 20 years, both brothers found success on their own, with Tommy helping a young Frank Sinatra get his start and Jimmy releasing several chestnuts, including “Pennies From Heaven” with Bing Crosby on vocals, “Amapola”, “Green Eyes” and “I’m Glad There Is You (In This World

Sound Transit wants and continue to work toward a solution.

Asked whether she would continue the mayor’s current push to make Auburn an Amtrak Stop, Backus answered that it would not be a top priority in her administration. Her top priority, instead, would be to find money to fix the City’s deteriorating roads and streets. She added that she would quickly act to raise the recently lowered speed limits on West and East Valley Highways.

In the spirit of making the city a destination and not just a passthrough, Partridge answered, he would stay open to the opportunity of making Auburn an Amtrak stop again. But to make that happen, he added, the City would need fresh leadership and ideas, which he could supply.

“My goal is for Amtrak to pursue us, and not the other way around,” Partridge said.

City Council races Claude Da Corsi, who faces Jodi Riker-Yap in the contest for City Council Position 2, introduced himself as the director of capital construction for the King County Housing Authority, in which capacity he oversees an annual budget of $25 million. A New York native, he said, he has lived in Auburn with his family for nine years. He said he would bring to the position 40 years of business experience in the public and private sectors. He has a business management degree from Northwest University and a master’s degree in public administration from Seattle University.

Asked what he would do to address loitering in the downtown, DaCorsi said, “The objective is to provide good outreach programs and services to get people off the

streets. The same is true for our teens. We need places for them to go that are safe, economical, and we also need those facilities for our adult people, too. … It will take the combined efforts of our city officials, business people, our police and our not-for profit service providers.”

Riker-Yap – away attending her son’s wedding – sent a transcript of her answers.

Frank Lonergan, a locksmith who is challenging Yolanda Trout for a council seat, said he preferred to speak from his heart, and eschewed prepared notes.

“I am not a politician, I’m just a concerned citizen, and that’s why I’m running for Position 4,” Lonergan said.

Lonergan said the City is not doing enough to address its gang problem, and that it could do much more to improve relations with the kids of the community.

One step would be to provide open access to get them off the streets.

Trout, the product of a large family — one of 18 brothers and sisters — said her background taught her to negotiate very quickly. She recalled how, having lost her brother in a highway accident, she successfully lobbied the state to widen that highway from two to four lanes and to have anti-drinking and driving signs installed there. She has lived in Auburn for six years.

Trout said Auburn doesn’t have a gang problem, only “kids who are wannabe gang members.”

Marianne Binetti, hoping to unseat 5-term incumbent Rich Wagner, described herself as a 48-year resident of Auburn who has raised three sons in the community.

“I am running to give people the choice of whether they want Auburn to continue going in the same direction, or whether they want

Auburn to keep going in a better direction,” Binetti said.

She went on to criticize some of the City’s recent spending decisions, including the construction of the SCORE Jail.

She described her position on the role of the City with respect to business.

“The business world is a competitive, dynamic environment, where enterprises are constantly growing and shrinking to meet the demands of the market. Government should be leery of becoming involved in that process,” she said, adding, however, that it may get involved “to the extent that the government can help business without spending taxpayers’ money or waiving necessary rules or regulations.”

Wagner introduced himself as a retired research engineer and business development manager with the Weyerhaeuser Company, with time to devout to the City’s business. He has an engineering degree from Washington State University and studied business and finance at Seattle University. He moved to Auburn with his family 35 years ago and raised four children here.

He is the council’s representative on the Arts Commission, and a member of the Valley Regional Fire Authority. He is chair of the City’s Public Works Committee.

“We need to retain as many businesses as we can,” Wagner said.

“I think we need to be sensitive to businesses wanting to communicate with us. I think we need good police protection.”

Wagner supports incentives to support small businesses. Binetti said she is not in favor of “using taxpayer dollars to support private enterprise.”

Gleason, where they introduced a young Elvis Presley to nationwide audiences, long before his appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

The brothers died within months of each other, with Tommy choking in his sleep in 1956 and Jimmy succumbing to throat cancer in 1957, right after he received his first ever gold record for “So Rare.”

Jimmy’s orchestra lived on, however.

Lee Castle took over musical leadership of the band for the next 40 years, with Jim Miller taking over from 1990 to 2002. In 2002, current music director Bill Tole took the helm.

Nancy Knorr, who owns the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra trademark and sings many of the songs

made famous by original female lead Helen O’Connell, came on board in 1991.

“I was a member of (vocal group) The Pied Pipers, which Frank Sinatra sang with, and had an opportunity to sing with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra,” she said. “I filled in and liked it, and that was history.”

The draw was simple, Knorr said.

“The songs, they tell a story.

It was a very difficult era during the 40s, when loved ones were separated by the war. The music was uplifting and provided people a place to go and dance and get away. It’s still uplifting today.

Jones, Erickson vie for Position 2 council seat on Nov. 5

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

With four seats on the Pacific City Council being contested in the Nov. 5 general election, each race is crucial to the future makeup of the city’s legislative body.

In the race for the Position No. 2 seat, incumbent Councilmember John Jones will attempt to hold off life long Pacific Resident Brice Erickson.

Brice Erickson Erickson did not return e-mail or phone requests seeking information.

According to his submission for the King County voter’s pamphlet, however, Erickson, an Auburn Riverside High School graduate, is a laborer specializing in concrete and asphalt.

“As a life long resident of Pacific, I’m very concerned about the direction the City is taking,” his voter’s pamphlet statement reads.

“Present council has been distracted with frivolous issues, neglecting to address important issues such as much-needed street repairs. We nearly lost our City when the council refused to work with the

mayor [recalled former Mayor Cy Sun] to fill vacant positions necessary to run the City effectively. The council showed a great deal of immaturity and were unprofessional Brice Erickson in their refusal to work with [Sun], who was duly elected by the citizens of Pacific.

I disagree with the recent discussions about changing the City’s government from strong mayor to city manager. This would take away the voices of citizens. A city manager would answer only to council members, not the voters. Pacific needs a fresh start. If elected, I promise to listen to concerns and suggestions from all citizens for the greater good of the City.”

John Jones In 2010, Jones, a Boeing employee who has owned a house in Pacific since 1993, first threw his hat into the ring for city council “It sounds kind of corny, but it was for civic respon-

sibility,” Jones said. “I’ve been very involved in the Masonic Lodge in Auburn, and one of the things you learn is to be responsible, to take accountability for your actions and to be involved in your community.”

“There was an opening running against Barbara Lourdes, and I decided to run against her,” he said.

“Surprisingly, I won, and I’ve spent the last four years doing what I think is best for the City.”

Among his achievements in his first term of office, Jones said, he’s most proud of his efforts in helping the Valentine and Stewart road projects stay alive when it appeared funding was in danger of running out under Sun’s administration.

“The one thing right now I’m proud of is saving the Valentine Road project and working with Sumner and the state to capture the monies we needed to complete that project and maintain our grants,” Jones said. “I’d say that was my biggest achievement on the council.”

Jones concedes that his first term was a learning

experience for him, adding that dealing with the council’s contentious relationship with Sun taught him many lessons about governing.

“I’ve learned a lot of lessons, probably more little lessons than big John Jones ones,” he said. “One thing I’ve learned is nothing is a given.

Under the last leadership of the city, in the last year-anda-half, I learned that our responsibility is to listen to the other side and learn to give-and-take. People will probably look at me and say ‘you didn’t give anything to him (former Mayor Cy Sun).’ But I’m looking at it the other way, watching him as someone who wasn’t willing to adjust or take into consideration other people’s points of view and be willing to recognize your own faults and errors and make adjustments. More than just the people who voted for him, (the council) is responsible

for all the citizens. About 450 people voted for him, but he was the mayor of 6,800 people, and I’m responsible for them. We’re all human, we all get a little temper or a little attitude. But you have to realize that sometimes you have to adjust, although sometimes it’s hard.”

If elected on Nov. 5, Jones said, he’ll be eager to help lead the city into the future.

“The competition of Valentine and Stewart, those two major milestones, are an adjustment for the City for future business,” he said. “Those two main thoroughfares will see a lot of modification for businesses, which will bring in a tax base for the City.

“The other aspect is for us to try and improve some of the communication aspects of the city,” he said.

“The council chambers, as well as how we communicate with the citizens, whether it’s Channel 21 or a Web feed on our Internet site, the biggest thing is just to make sure we’re moving forward, we’re taking care of our parks and taking care of our citizens.”

Protect that precious smile with a mouth guard

THE CLINIC TO THE GYM

BY DR. Heather Woloshyn For the Auburn Reporter

Physician assistant puts his advice in motion as fitness trainer

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

It’s an extension of his work, a way to practice what he preaches.

Dan Hahn is a physician assistant in Puyallup responsible for a wide spectrum of patients with varying degrees of health and disease.

He treats their plights, frequently explaining to them the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Many of his patients are unmotivated, overweight and on multiple medications for many reasons – diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, even depression.

It’s a challenging, sometimes unfulfilling job.

“I know a lot of this stems from lifestyle, from the choices they make,” Hahn said of his patients.

Strong and ready: Dan Hahn works both spectrums of the health and fitness industry: as a physician assistant and as a certified CrossFit trainer. He recently opened a gym in south Auburn. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter “While in the clinic, I would repeatedly ask my patients to exercise and eat healthy but never had the time to show them how or where to start. They needed the tools to move forward that I simply could not give them in a 15-minute office visit.”

To take it a step further, Hahn went from the clinic to the gym.

Hahn is also a certified trainer who recently opened his first business, WCFT (West Coast Fit Team) CrossFit, an all-purpose gym in Auburn, off A Street Southeast . The center specializes in comprehensive,

full-range exercise and fitness programs for people of all walks, ages and abilities.

The physician assistant talks it, the trainer walks it.

“This can change people’s lives.

This is what gets people healthy, motivated, off medication,” Hahn said of his CrossFit shop. “I love it. I’m passionate about it, passionate about health and fitness.”

As Hahn explains, prevention is sometimes more effective than treatment. [ more CROSSFIT page 13 ]

When is the right time to wear a mouth guard?

Any time you play sports.

As we participate in school sports and other activities, autumn is an appropriate time to remind you about the importance of taking a few precautions to preserve your teeth and be protected from facial injuries, whether at a practice, at a game or simply enjoying some fun in the neighborhood. How can you play it safe?

Wear a helmet. Helmets absorb the energy of an impact and help prevent damage to one’s head.

Wear a face shield or protective eyewear. Hockey pucks, basketballs and racquetballs can cause severe facial damage at any age.

Wear a mouth guard.

Mouth guards can help prevent injury to a person’s jaw, mouth and teeth; and

they are significantly less expensive than the cost to repair an injury.

The American Association of Orthodontists, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the Academy for Sports Dentistry remind parents to make sure their young athletes play it safe and wear a mouth guard and other appropriate safety gear at every practice and every game.

Members of these organizations are frequently called to the emergency room to attend to a young athlete’s dental or facial injury. Yes, accidents can happen. But many accidents can be prevented by the simple act of wearing a mouth guard and other protective gear.

Although mouth guards are now generally considered standard equipment [ more WOLOSHYN page 13 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ WOLOSHYN from page 12 ] for football and hockey players, they really should be worn during any contact sport. “Contact sport” is not limited to one player knocking into another, but encompasses any sport in which the player is likely to have his or her face come into contact with the pavement or other hard object.

Kids who participate in soccer, extreme sports (BMX biking, skateboarding and in-line skating) and other common sports should wear a mouth guard and other protective helmets and equipment to protect them from injury.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than half of the seven million sports- and recreation-related injuries that occur each year are sustained by youth as young as 5 years old.

The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation says that athletes who do not wear mouth guards are 60 times more likely to sustain damage to their teeth. They forecast that more than three million teeth would be knocked out in youth

sporting events this year.

Parents and coaches are urged to make sure that mouth guards and safety gear are a consistent part of young athletes’ uniforms.

A mouth guard is a smart investment. Its cost is a fraction of the costs associated with emergency care of a broken or knocked-out tooth. Such costs can reach the tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime.

This raises a question: if mouth guards offer a simple and relatively inexpensive solution to help dramatically decrease the risk of oral and injuries, why aren’t more kids wearing them?

As a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, I want to help make sure my patients and their teammates are properly protected from sportsrelated injuries to teeth, mouth and face. Because orthodontists help kids and adults obtain healthy, beautiful smiles – the last thing they want to see is a patient get injured because they weren’t properly equipped.

While damage to braces can

[ CROSSFIT from page 12 ] “What’s fitness? It’s your ability to increase your work capacity over time across all domains of fitness,” he said. “And that is strength, speed, power, flexibility, stamina, coordination, balance. You don’t want to be just strong or fast, or have endurance. You want to be just strong enough, just fast enough, just enough endurance. That’s true

lengthen treatment time, it also can affect results, so contact your orthodontist for advice if damage occurs. If a child has braces they should always wear a mouth guard. Serious trauma can occur to the lips and gums if they are hit in the mouth with a ball or stick without the proper protection.

If a mouth guard is not worn and an injury occurs, follow these first-aid tips:

Broken teeth • Clean the injured area and put an ice pack on the lip or gum.

• Cover any exposed area with sterile gauze.

• Save the chip of the tooth (for possible reattachment) and call your family or pediatric dentist right away.

• Store the tooth fragment in water.

Loosened teeth • Apply an ice pack to the injury.

• You may attempt to gently push an extruded tooth back into

the socket.

• Call your family or pediatric dentist for immediate attention.

Early stabilization is the best chance for the tooth to reattach itself.

Knocked out permanent tooth – time is critical • A tooth might be saved if cared for properly and reimplanted as soon as possible.

Timely treatment may improve the chances of reattaching an injured tooth.

• Call your family or pediatric dentist for immediate attention.

• Locate the tooth; hold it by the crown, not the pointed root end.

• Remove large pieces of debris, but avoid rubbing or touching the root.

• Rinse the tooth. Do not scrub.

If using a sink, be sure to put the plug in the sink so that the tooth will not go down the drain if it is dropped.

• Attempt to gently put the clean tooth back in its socket.

As a seasoned trainer, Hahn offers comprehensive workouts, varied in aspects of fitness.

“You don’t need to be an elite athlete to benefit from our program,” Hahn said. “Our classes are open to all fitness levels from the beginner to the advanced athlete. …

We support you during every step as you develop all-around physical preparedness for any sport or situation life throws at you.”

Cover with gauze or tissue and bite down to stabilize it or hold the tooth in its socket until seen by the dentist.

• If the tooth cannot be put back into its socket, store the tooth in liquid until you see the dentist. Put the tooth in milk or sterile saline solution (contact lens solution with no preservatives).

Do not soak or store the tooth in water because water will kill the cells on the root that are vital for successful re-implantation. If milk or saline solution is unavailable, the tooth can be stored in the cheek where saliva will help provide vitality to the root surface.

If stored in the cheek, be careful not to swallow the tooth.

• Do not let the tooth dry out.

Protect that precious smile with a mouth guard. Get into the mouth guard habit – wear one at every practice and every game.

Year in, year out the Auburn Mountainview volleyball team has been among the most successful 3A programs in the state.

Every year since the school opened in 2005, the Lions have qualified for the state 3A tournament.

This past year, the first under new coach Nicole Claudon, the Lions achieved their highest level of success, placing fifth at the state tournament and bringing home the program’s first trophy.

“It felt so incredible

just to make that happen as a team and not just as individuals,” senior Maya Williamson said.

“I still remember every minute of that day.”

“It truly felt amazing,” senior Molly Cichosz added. “We’ve gone to state year after year, but to be able to bring something home was great. Our school is really supportive of sports ,and to be able to show them what we got was really exciting.”

The Lions are on track for another return to the state tourney this season with a [ more lions page 15 ]

season with a 5-0 league record, 8-2 overall through Oct. 16.

According to Claudon, a big part of the team’s success this year rests squarely on the shoulders of Cichosz and Williamson, the team’s offensive forces.

“Molly and Maya have been playing together for about seven years, in school and club (with Puget Sound Volleyball),” Claudon said.

“They’re pretty different off the court, but on the court they’re definitely our two best players and will do anything to win. It’s fun to watch them. It’s a good life lesson for them. They both work well and have the same end goal in volleyball, even if they don’t have the same friends and hobbies outside of vollyball. It’s cool to see that.”

On the court, Cichosz and senior Savanna Cappa provide leadership.

“Molly brings some awesome energy to the team,” Claudon said. “She has a great sense of humor but also a lot of intensity. We have to tell her to back off some time, depending on the match. Every bone in her body is competitive, and she brings that to the court.

Auburn Mountainview fell to 1-5 on Friday with a 17-10 South Puget Sound League 3A loss to Peninsula in Gig Harbor.

The Lions (0-2 league, 1-5 overall) had a 7-0 lead after the first half but were unable to fend off the Seahawks (2-0, 3-3), who scored all their points in the second half.

Senior Ray Hardaway notched Auburn Mountainview’s lone score in the game, returning the opening kickoff 83 yards for a touchdown. Hardaway also led the team in rushing with 26 yards on nine carries.

Sophomore quarterback Gresch Jensen finished with 24-of-40 passing for 176 yards with one interception.

Senior Joey Cassano had nine catches for 89 yards, and junior Jess Weathers caught eight for 40 yards.

Junior Jason Sele had nine solo tackles, an assist and one tackle for a loss. Hardaway chipped in with seven solo tackles and four assists.

Devon Tandberg added a 36-yard field goal for the Lions.

Auburn Mountainview will host Lakes (2-0, 2-4) at 7 p.m. Friday.

“Maya’s a little more of a silent leader on the court,” Claudon said. “She’s what I call a really creative player; she’s great at making plays and changing it up. Last year she was extremely successful at tipping during games, even though she’s got a great arm and power.

She’s really aggressive, but also good at seeing the whole court and those open spots to chip and tip in.”

Cichosz also praised Williamson.

“She’s a great player, and great players help any team.

It’s great having someone that you know is always going to be there,” she said.

“She puts up a great block, and she can hit the ball pretty hard. It’s nice to be able to run a fast middle, especially in high school, you don’t see that too much.”

“We’ve been through thick and thin,” Williamson said of Cichosz. “I love her
