By this late date in any election cycle, less than a week from the big day, almost everybody is eager to get it over and done with.

And perhaps none more so than the weary, footsore, sometimes bruised candidates themselves.

That’s true of mayoral candidates and fellow councilmembers Nancy Backus and John Partridge.

General election mail-in ballots are due Tuesday. The winner succeeds Pete Lewis who has decided not to seek a fourth term.

“Yes, I am looking forward to it being over,” Backus said Monday, after one of her City committee meetings. “It’s been 10 months. We announced in January. It’s time for it to be over.”

Partridge referred to “an exhausting,” seven day-a-week process.

“The fact is that life doesn’t stop just because you’re running a campaign,” he said.

“You still have a marriage, you still have a family, you still have an occupation. And on top of that, Nancy and I are both councilmembers, so we have all of our same duties in addition to what we’re doing in the campaign.” [ more ELECTION page 4 ]

Gov. Inslee sets Apple Cup deadline for transportation plan

By Brandon Macz Reporter Newspapers

Before an Apple Cup champion emerges on Nov. 29, Gov. Jay Inslee says he wants to see an approved transportation bill on his desk crafted through a bipartisan effort, identifying $10 billion in revenue sources needed to keep the state’s roads and bridges from failing.

“November is the month for action here,” Inslee told a room full of Sound Publishing editors and reporters last Friday. “Actually, April and May were the months.”

The governor said he is disappointed the Senate couldn’t come up with a transportation bill after six months, despite the House passed its legislation. Senate Republicans opted not to approve the House bill in favor of launching a listening tour in Washington to find ways to find savings through reforms before pushing for tax increases.

Inslee said there is a need for reform, which is already occurring within the Washington State Department of Transportation with the appointment of Lynn Peterson as head of the agency, and improvements under way to permitting processes, cutting fat from projects, streamlining maintenance and leaner management.

Latest red light photo-enforcement numbers still show a reduction

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Violations at red-light, photoenforced intersections and school zones have dropped significantly over the third quarters of the last four years, according to the Auburn Police Department’s latest report card on the program, “Photosafe Auburn, Third Quarter Review, Jan.-September 2013.”

Assistant Chief Bill Pierson presented the Municipal Services Committee the latest numbers on the program Monday afternoon at

Animal Control staying busy, as numbers show

City leaders got a look this week at what Auburn Animal Control has been up to ever since its launching in January.

Seems the animal shelter on A Street Southeast is crawling with kitties, owing

The City spends about $180,000 every year to Scottsdale-Ariz.based RedFlex Traffic Systems to keep it going. Today it is spending more money than it’s taking in.

The City launched the program on June 30, 2006 at two intersections: Auburn Way South and 4th Street Southeast; and at Auburn Way South and M Street Southeast.

It added Harvey Road and 8th Street in December of that year.

Today the program numbers 17 cameras throughout the city, including safety cameras for Mt.

“If you need a cat, they have some cats,” said City Financial Director Shelley Coleman told members of the Municipal Services Committee Monday.

“Oh, man, do you have cats,” Committee Chairman Bill Peloza said, eyeballing some numbers. At present, more than 100 cats reside at the shelter.

Dogs, not so many. Thing is, there just aren’t as many feral dogs out there.

The data compare the third quarters of the years 2009 to 2013, showing the percentage of red-light violations, that is, the total number written by officers as opposed to actual infractions issued: • Auburn Way South and 4th: southbound, -25.8 percent; northbound, -36.3 percent • M Street and Auburn Way South: westbound, -5.4 percent,

“They have such a tremendous turnover in dogs … People want to adopt the dogs,” Coleman said. Staff, Coleman added, have even fetched dogs from far away shelters in California for the sake of variety to answer the heavy demand.

One telling number: at the end of September, only four dogs were available at the shelter.

All of that has kept Auburn’s Animal Control Officer busy, catching critters on the loose, enforcing animal control ordinances,

Here is what the report has to say about animal control-related calls for service, comparing the first and third quarters of 2013: • 911 dispatched calls for service: 192, up 156 percent from the first to the third quarter.

• Calls residents make directly to the ACO: 112, -0.9 percent decrease from the first to the third quarter.

• Calls self-initiated by the ACO as he is driving around: 92, up 338.1 percent.

• Wildlife-related calls: 92, -50 percent.

• Calls for service by other police officers to the ACO: 0, down 100 percent • Deceased domestic animal calls: 12, up 20 percent.

• Total percentage of decrease or increase between the first and third quarters: increase of 76.4 percent.

As part of their presentation, prosecutors displayed a photo of Frankel on vacation in Hawaii taken by Johnson, a woman he initially knew from when he worked in California prior to moving to Kent in 2007.

[ ELECTION from page 1 ] Assessing her prospects on Nov. 5, Backus said, she’s taking nothing for granted, assuming nothing, despite her strong showing in the August primary.

“I’m not going to assume that’s the way it’ll be that night. I kind of run like we’re the underdog, and hope for the very best,” she said. “We’ve got lots of very diverse supporters. It’s proof we’re not there for special interest groups, but because a wide swath of people believe that I am the candidate to keep Auburn moving forward.”

Said Partridge, “I think I’m realistic, that I’ve got as good a chance as Nancy has. “I think we’re both very good candidates, we’re both qualified.

We just have different qualifications and styles. I think if people get out and vote – and I’m hoping for an excellent voter turnout – the better the turnout, the better my chances.”

Backus is proud of how campaign has stuck to its game plan.

“One of the things I have said from the very beginning to all of our volunteers is that we are not going to run a negative campaign, and we are not going to get in the mud,” Backus said. “That’s not who I am, and if that’s who I have to be to win, then I don’t want it. I think we’ve done a pretty good job of staying out of that mud.

“There’s been some finger pointing and things, but we’re trying to stay positive. On our website we even have a “Rumor Central” where we try to dispel any of those rumors or half-truths and let people know where they can go to find more information,” Backus said.

Partridge grades any campaign on the effort put into it and by its interaction with the community.

“I feel that we had an excellent opportunity to do what campaigns do, which is to listen to the public and be engaged.

I feel I had ample time and opportunity to do that, so I would assess the campaign as very successful in terms of engaging the public and getting the message out. I don’t feel that we could have done any better, as far as that goes,” Partridge said. “Obviously voters now have the chance to respond, and I feel like they’ve got the information they need to make a good decision.”

Both candidates said

the campaign has been “extremely humbling,” one long roller-coaster ride of emotions.

For Backus, it’s the first time she’s ever had an opponent.

“I didn’t have to do a great deal for those past campaigns. I was still out in the community because that’s what I like to do. But this has been really humbling. To be out somewhere and have somebody come up and say, ‘I’m behind you, I believe in you,’ it can be surreal at times. And I take every one of them to heart.

And if there is a criticism or a critique, I take that to heart, too.”

“We’ve been humbled by the level of community support both financially and with effort,” Partridge said. “You feel very responsible for that, when people trust you to that degree. And it makes you want to work all the harder. Really, a campaign is about the people, it’s about the community. It’s not about you, it’s about the people you represent.

I tell people this is about picking the person that best represents you and your interests and the future of this community.

I take that very seriously.”

One of the toughest trials, Backus said, has been to read things less than complimentary about oneself or one’s campaign in the local newspaper.

“When we first started this process, I probably would have been in tears reading those. Now, I’m a lot stronger. I still don’t like them. Nobody likes to read negative things or hear negative things said about them, but I can deal with it a lot better. It’s made me a lot stronger person.”

Backus said her husband, Kemon, and her daughter, Lucky — 5 years old when Backus first sat on the City Council — are especially keen to see this campaign to its close.

“I always wanted Lucky to have an understanding of the privilege and the responsibility of giving back to the community, and I’m proud to say she gets it.

She enjoys the volunteering. It’s not just volunteering with me, but she has also done volunteering work at her school. As for my husband, I don’t know if this would have been his ultimate choice for my career goal, but he’s supportive. He just doesn’t want to see me get hurt.

He’s not going to be the first dude of Auburn. This is my job.”

Time to place your vote on key measures A number of important issues are on the Nov. 5 ballot. Two statewide issues have drawn strong pro and con arguments. In addition, important votes will be cast on two countywide issues.

Here is our take on the four.

State I-517: Initiative gathering No. Our state has the initiative process to make sure that the public has a way to propose legislation that it finds necessary, but that the Legislature won’t consider. It works well here.

I-517 adds elements that not only aren’t necessary, but also would be costly to cities and counties.

The measure tries to make the case that people are at risk from attacks or retaliation for seeking signatures on petitions and would make doing so a crime. That’s hardly the case. In fact, former Secretary of State Sam Reed said most of the complaints his office handled involved signature gatherers being overly aggressive.

I-517 would make that worse by letting people gather signatures in any public space, like Safeco Field, Century Link Field, or even at a local high school basketball game.

Equally bad, the initiative would force cities and counties to put an initiative on the ballot even if its already been ruled illegal.

Taxpayers would be stuck with the bill for counting ballots for something that never could become law.

I-522: Genetically engineered foods No. Both the state and federal government are charged with keeping our food safe. I-522 would go beyond this by forcing our state to impose labeling requirements on genetically engineered foods.

Proponents say the public has a right to know what foods have been genetically modified. The problem? Not all genetically engineered foods would have to have the label. [ more GROSHART page 7 ]

Partridge doesn’t get enough credit I need to address a comment made by Nancy Backus, who has misrepresented John Partridge in his key role with the creation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society.

In her January 2013 newsletter, Nancy Backus wrote: “John Partridge is in his first term and devoted to the creation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society (AVHS). He was our Council liaison to AVHS as it was getting established and has spent numerous hours at meetings and events to promote the humane society. Our community has really come together to support our pets, and John has played a KEY role in that. I appreciate his work.”

John has never mentioned this letter. I found it by mistake. In fact, when John speaks of the creation of the AVHS, he has given credit to the Auburn veterinarians.

Backus answers the call for Auburn Nancy Backus is the calming oil that is sometimes needed by independently minded councilmembers.

In her role as deputy mayor, Nancy is the one who makes sure all are heard and all have equal opportunity to present opinion.

Nancy is not the leader who monopolizes, pushes, or craves the power derived from her position.

She is a true, respectful leader who avoids the spotlight while making sure all voices are heard.

Listen to her speak, it is an insight into her makeup and character. She is much more likely to give credit and praise to others than to clamor for personal recognition.

Nancy is a leader not because she has a title or position but because others want to follow her. That is the strongest type of leader.

All of us have strengths and weaknesses. Nancy is the type of leader who makes sure that we build on each other’s strengths and assist one another in areas of deficit. This is not a leader who takes advantage of natural human differences for political gain.

We all have recently witnessed national and regional examples of politicians publicly defaming one another for self-promotion only to achieve government stalemate. Nancy is the influence that maintains focus on the needs of Auburn rather than the individual. She finds compromises and produces results, all the while never belittling any individual.

Nancy is the leader who builds consensus in the council, which

Help Wanted?

Setting the record, my opponent straight There were a number of inaccurate “fact” statements made in a letter by Michelle Binetti, City Council Candidate, published in the Oct. 25 Auburn Reporter.

Those inaccuracies deserve a response with the true facts about the City of Auburn’s involvement in the new regional jail.

statements instead of parroting the false budget numbers put out by other candidates’ campaigns.

She would have found that instead of the “fact” where she claimed “the actual daily costs of keeping people in jail is now 50 percent higher than before,” that the true fact is that the City is paying less than before.

Until the new jail was built, most of Auburn’s criminals were sent to the Yakima jail and to the King County jail because the City Hall basement jail is far too small. It was built in the 1970s with a capacity for 35 prisoners a day, but there were over 100 people serving sentences from the Auburn Municipal Court each day. When Yakima raised its costs significantly and King County decided to stop accepting people convicted of misdemeanors (for example, driving violations and domestic violence), the new jail was built by a group of cities.

If Ms. Binetti had researched her statements, she would have found that her “fact” that “the City incurred 30 years of bond payments of approximately 3 million dollars a year for a new jail,” is not accurate. The City will actually pay 1.5 million dollars a year.

The bottom line however, is that when everything related to keeping Auburn’s criminals in jail is accounted for, including daily costs, the cost of bonds and the cost of operating the Municipal Court, the City will save more than 3 million dollars a year compared to before the new jail was built.

As a member of the current Auburn City Council, I always study the issues and make my decisions based upon factual information, not upon inaccurate statements put out by others.

– Rich Wagner, Auburn City Council candidate

Binetti comes through with her approach As a former councilperson I know all too well the dangers of talking facts when it comes to Auburn politics.

Auburn’s heartaches began with a mayor and a council that put pipe dreams and foolish spending

ahead of economic reality and fact finding.

It looks like to me that Michelle Binetti has been doing her homework. I wonder just how much time our other candidates running for public office in Auburn are spending looking at facts.

I like the lady who obviously has a smaller campaign budget but was able to offer some facts.

She’s getting my vote.

Trout understands, focuses on our needs Yolanda Trout, a candidate for Auburn Council Position No. 4, is worthy of your attention.

Having helped organize our area’s electronic Block Watch, I have known her since she became our neighbor a few years ago. I have been quite impressed by her energy and her dedication to creating and maintaining a quality sense of community, both here in Forest Villa and with the City of Auburn as a whole. She is a go-getter and a self-starter. She formed a strong Block Watch group and has been serving as Planning Commissioner for these past three years.

Her unique quality is the ability to reach out to other people, to work for a common solution for what we all want: a quality, healthy, and safe community for all. An example, critical not only to our local community but for all of Auburn, is a smooth working relationship with the Muckleshoot Tribe. We are blending into each other and are facing one another’s perceptions and misconceptions.

I have seen Yolanda, on her own, extend herself to open communications, working to understand and focusing on our common needs, as we need to. She, with her background, is bridging those cultural boundaries that sometimes have prevented us from working together. This is the quality of understanding.

This election has become cast as the “Outs” vs. the “Ins.” Yolanda is neither. She is one of us, a regular everyday citizen who is capable of working with anyone to make Auburn a better place to live and to raise a family.

personal and professional experience, has decided to refrain from supporting the legal businesses surrounding marijuana because they need another year to study the issue.

I do not use marijuana personally. However, I expect our leaders to govern and that sometimes takes courage as well as knowledge. I will submit they may lack the latter.

I recently tasked Auburn City Council candidate Yolanda Trout on why City leaders would chose to allow other governing bodies to take the lead on this issue? I was impressed with her commitment to lead courageously. I am not suggesting or implying her position on the matter is the same as mine, only that she possesses exceptional personal integrity and the desire to make Auburn excellent.

Thus I have decided to give my vote to Yolanda. I cannot stress how important it is to voters to support diverse candidates.

Yolanda represents the future of Auburn with a new perspective.

balances the power of the executive branch of City government.

Her leadership style is serviceorientated not positional or authoritarian. Yes, we will miss Nancy as a council colleague, but her management skill set will be put to good use as mayor.

She is a very smart person with a great background in professional finance and human resources.

In the mayor–council form of City government these are arguably the mayor’s most important job requirements. In our form of government the separation of powers dictates that the mayor proposes a budget, manages the budget and directs the employees of the City. The City Council balances this executive power by being the only authority to approve the budget and set City policy and direction.

There is one other mayoral obligation that needs to be addressed.

When things go wrong, when emergencies occur, when crisis erupts, the mayor is the point person. This is a duty a weak soul looks to send elsewhere. Remember the ice storm in 2012? The mayor was out of town. Many City employees were unable to get to work. Roads were blocked, electrical power lines were down and phones were out all over town. The airport was closed and the mayor was unable to return.

As deputy mayor, Nancy came into City Hall and began pulling the resources of the City together. For 24 hours, Nancy used radios, cell phones and what working land lines there were to begin coordinating the City’s first response to emergencies throughout Auburn. When citizens called into City Hall for help, the person answering the phone was often the deputy mayor, Nancy Backus.

Please join with us and elect Nancy Backus as the next mayor of Auburn.

www.auburn-reporter.com A 5K family fun Run/walk benefit has been organized to support paralyzed gymnast Jacoby Miles. The Nov. 16 race begins at 9 a.m. at the Bonney Lake Lowe’s, 19911 S. Prairie Road E. Proceeds will help pay for ongoing rehab expenses.

Lowes, the City of Bonney Lake and Fleet Feet are sponsoring the event.

“Although Jacoby can’t run herself, lend her your legs for 3.1 miles and make a difference,” said Melanie Roach, organizer of the event. “100 percent of the proceeds from this event are to pay for Jacoby’s ongoing rehabilitation expenses.”

[ groshart from page 5 ] Despite the scary sound of “genetically engineered food,” most of the food we eat is exactly that. And the federal Food and Drug Administration and most scientists say it’s entirely safe. In fact, many farmers who grow organic crops use genetically-modified resources.

Nevertheless, I-522 would mandate new labels for thousands of products while at the same time allowing thousands of other GMO foods to remain unlabeled. Supermarkets would be required to have GMO labels on food, but restaurants would not. Food from foreign countries also would be exempt.

So much for safety.

University scientists, former heads of the state Department of Agriculture, president of the Washington Farm Bureau and many others oppose this initiative.

Many initiatives written by the public are poorly drafted

The date of the race marks the one-year anniversary of the day the Puyallup native was paralyzed from the mid-chest down after landing on her neck on a routine dismount off the uneven/ parallel bars.

and ineffective. That’s the problem with I-522.

There is no formal opposition to the measure.

County King County Charter Amendment No. 1: Creating a county department of public defense Yes. Our Constitution says that people accused of a crime are entitled to a lawyer even if they can’t afford one. To meet this standard, King County has contracted with private, nonprofit corporations to act as these public defenders. Because the non-profits were seen as independent contractors, they didn’t receive county benefits even though the defense they provided was paid for by the public.

A class-action settlement made these defenders county employees.

This proposition creates the actual department of public defense. It would be within the executive branch, as are other county departments.

King County Proposition No. 1: Medic One Yes. Even if you’ve never had to use it, you know the county’s Medic One program is a lifesaver. In fact, it is recognized as one of the best emergency medical service systems in the world.

Proposition No. 1 keeps this in place by replacing an expiring property tax levy with a new one for the next six years.

The tax rate would be $0.335 or less per thousand dollars of assessed value. That’s just $100 a year for a house with an assessed valuation of $300,000.

That’s actually less than what the average homeowner paid in 2008 for these same services.

Any way you add this up, it’s a bargain.

[ BRUNELL from page 5 ] and benefits. In addition, the company spends more than $4.6 billion a year on purchases from 2,000 suppliers and vendors in the state. But over the years, Boeing has shifted engineering and operations and thousands of jobs out of Washington.

To stem that tide, Gov. Jay Inslee (D) convened a legislative task force to find ways to make our state more attractive for Boeing to build the 777X here.

The governor has reason to be concerned. At the Paris Air Show last spring, Boeing announced that the 777X and the newer, larger 787-10 might be assembled elsewhere. The prime candidate is South Carolina.

One big factor is the high cost of doing business in Washington. The governor asked lawmakers to find ways to address those costs and provide tax incentives to offset them.

Legislators are also asked to address environmental regulations, workers’ compensation costs, and education and training – expenses that impact all employers and local governments in Washington.

The 777X could determine our state’s role in future jumbo jet production.

Using 20 percent less fuel than the current 777, the 777X will be the first twin-engine jet able to fly longhaul routes with payloads comparable to the larger jumbos. According to Bloomberg’s News Service, that’s likely to accelerate airlines’ shift away from mammoth, four-engine

November 1, 2013 [7] fuel-guzzlers such as Boeing’s latest 747-8 and Airbus’s double-decker A380.

Boeing’s order backlog with 777s has swelled to nearly 350 while it has just under 60 747s yet to build.

So the preference is clearly in the 777’s direction.

The 777X will borrow composite technology from Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. That is good news for us because that technology has been perfected in Washington. But Boeing is maximizing its flexibility – and its options – by placing composite technology in South Carolina as well. Remember, the 787 is assembled in Everett and Charleston.

The location of the new 777X is also important because the winning site will have an edge as Boeing develops its future aircraft.

The stakes are high for Boeing as well, because global competition is getting tougher.

While Boeing and Airbus are going head-to-head today, in the future, Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Russian aircraft manufacturers will compete for a greater share of the commercial airplane market.

Boeing estimates that between now and 2031, the fleet of passenger aircraft will double.

If our state is going to keep those high-paying aerospace jobs, we need to take a serious look at the cost factors that Boeing, and for that matter, other manufacturers face in this increasingly competitive world.

Thirty years ago, this was a new concept in communities. Today, Trillium is a recruiting and training service to more than 250 businesses and supports nearly 400 individuals working to achieve their employment goals.

Companies in many industries and sectors are discovering the benefits of supported employment – from solving niche labor needs to increasing customer loyalty. Trillium’s employment consultants provide tailored support to each company, customizing the hiring, training and ongoing support services they provide to ensure success for the employer and employee.

For communities, supported employment means that now young people with disabilities are growing up with the expectation that they too will work as adults. Trillium partners with more than a dozen school districts to help students with disabilities find their first job when they graduate.

basis for policy decisions regarding health and safety, not politics and unfounded scare tactics.

Proponents of I-522 claim I-522 will not increase the cost of food to us, the consumers. Well, who will provide free labeling? Who will provide free monitoring? I-522 will create another bureaucracy tasked with monitoring tens of thousands of food labels at thousands of stores, farms and food processing facilities in our state. That is not going to be free.

Also, there will be costs farmers and food producers incur to comply with state law if I-522 passes. All additional costs that the state puts on them will inevitably be passed down to us. That means higher prices for our groceries.

A recent study showed that costs for a family of four would rise by at least $450 per year if I-522’s regulations were implemented.

We don’t need an increase in our food costs by slapping unjustified warning labels on safe foods.

Creighton, the strategic choice Why the choice for Seattle Port Commissioner is so important? Well, one in three jobs within our region comes from international

trade. Just read the election guide and you will see that John Creighton is the right choice. His education, background, past performance and oversees experience make him the best qualified candidate for this strategic position.

Read the voter’s guide and you will see that his opponent has none of those credentials. His opponent is a seasoned politician who uses old school tactics and special interest issues to garner votes. Ask yourself will that work in a complex global economic environment?

Commissioner Creighton’s past performance has demonstrated he is a strategic and critical thinker focused on job creation that sustains a port and airport that can move freight, support tourism and is environmentally friendly.

[10] November 1, 2013 leaders and Mayor Leanne Guier were at Pacific City Park on Tuesday to announce the addition of 3,000 feet of temporary HESCO barriers to deal with possible flooding.

“We’re here today to announce aggressive emergency actions to protect the City of Pacific from what could be very significant flooding this fall and this winter,” said Reagan Dunn, chair of the Flood District Board of Supervisors. “The King County Flood District, combined with King County, the City of Pacific and with partnership from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are placing additional emergency flooding

measures (HESCO barriers) along three sections of the White River here in the City of Pacific, nearly 3,000 feet.”

Dunn said sediment buildup in the White River is higher than previously anticipated.

“It’s a glacier-fed stream, and a lot of sediment comes down the river and changes the dynamic bottom of the river, which can raise the level and increase flooding in a flood event,” Dunn said.

The HESCO barriers, provided at no cost by the Corps of Engineers, are to be placed in Pacific City Park, near Third Place Southeast and along the eastern edge of the White River Estates.

A King County work crew fills additional HESCO barriers at Pacific City Park on Tuesday. The King County Flood Control District, along with the Army Corps of Engineers, erected an additional 3,000 feet of the temporary barriers to help control potential flooding along the White River this fall and winter.

In addition to lengthening the HESCO barrier, King County workers are to widen the barrier and increase its height in places.

“It’s hard to imagine on a sunny day in October what happened here in 2009,” said Pete von Reichbauer, the Flood District Supervisor who represents Pacific on the King County Council. “We lost $5 million in residential cost and $10 million in commercial job loss in the region when we had the flooding in 2009.”

According to Dunn, the temporary project should take two to three weeks to complete.

In addition to the temporary barriers, plans are in the works for permanent protection for Pacific residents against White River flooding.

Jeanne Stypula, with the King County River and Floodplain Management Section, said two capital projects were under way to rework the levee system in Pacific.

The Right Bank Project is to move, and heighten, the levees on the west side of the river, increasing elevation to withstand a 100-year flood.

The County Line Project tears down levees along the east bank and allows future high water events to flow

into the undeveloped forest lands up to the railroad tracks.

“This will give the river more room to fan out during high flows, increasing the capacity of the channel to hold water and provide more area for gravel to be deposited,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine.

Each project is in the design phase, according to Stypula, with costs expected to be $14 million dollars for each. Funding is already in place for the projects.

“It’s all allocated through the flood district levy, 11.5 cents per $1,000 evaluation,” Dunn said. “That includes these projects.

They’re already budgeted and in the plan because they’re such a high priority and affect so many people.”

“We’re in a weather cycle that has traditionally produced some of our most devastating storms,” Constantine said. “So we need to do additional work now to protect the citizens of Pacific.”

Guier added: “It is important our citizens know that these protection measures will help but do not eliminate the very real threat of flooding. We need to take steps now to prepare for the possibility of floodwaters.”

Pacific hires finance director Interim director Gould gets unanimous OK from City Council

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Pacific City Council voted unanimously at its regular meeting on Monday to appoint Richard Gould as the City’s new Finance Director.

For the past three months Gould has worked for Pacific as its interim-finance director, helping to unfurl the City’s finances, which were left in disarray by the previous administration.

Gould, with help from City staff, recently completed financial reports for the 2012 fiscal year, and the third quarter reports for 2013.

In addition, Gould and his staff are preparing the city’s biennial budget for 2014-2015.

“He’s done an amazing job digging us out of the hole we were in, and he seems well qualified, with a good vision

for the development of the department,” Council member Josh Putnam said. “I’m confident he’s going to do a good job for us.”

Gould was previously the finance director for the City of Carnation and filled in as its interim city manager. Gould also worked for the City of Snohomish as an accounting Richard Gould supervisor.

He has a bachelor’s degree in management from City of University Seattle and took business courses at the University of Washington.

“After bringing him in as a temporary, and having him help with our financial struggles, he just dug in and started making sense of things and helped move things forward,” Mayor Leanne Guier said. “The conversations we have had about the vision of the City and moving forward, and the way he works with staff, I just think he’s a perfect fit for the City.”

Dec. 31. Because the City Council appointed Guier to the City’s top executive post after the deadline had passed for candidates to withdraw from the election, she couldn’t remove her name from the ballot.

Guier said she has no intention to resign as mayor should she win the seat. That would leave the position open for an appointee to be selected by the city council.

“A vote for me is a vote for the council to appoint,” Guier

said. “If you don’t know Vic, you still have a choice to let council appoint someone to that seat. I think it’s important to have a choice.”

In the Position No. 5 race, Gary Nitschke and Stacy May Knudtson are vying for cur-

rent Councilmember James McMahan’s seat. McMahan did not run for reelection.

And finally, in the Position No. 7 seat current Council President Tren Walker takes on Pacific resident Ronnie M. Harris.

NEW, SPACIOUS BOOKSTORE OPENS ITS PAGES TO AUBURN

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It’s light and airy in Auburn’s newest bookstore, Finally Found Books, and there’s lots of room between the many shelves to browse.

Co-owners Todd Hulbert and Jill Sena and their crew offer fresh gourmet coffee, piping hot from Camano

Island Coffee Roasters at the register. Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and Bessie Smith set a laid back mood on the PA system.

And there’s a comfy assortment of couches and chairs on which to read, chat and take it all in.

Yet two months from the day Hulbert moved his

small, independent bookstore from Black Diamond to Auburn and opened it, too many locals still don’t know that Steinbeck and Shakespeare, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman and countless others are waiting for them, just the other side of those big windows.

Hulbert said the store’s former site in Black Dia-

mond, just down the street from the famed Black Diamond Bakery, was too far off the beaten path to make a go of it, despite some truly heroic efforts.

“The bookstore in Black Diamond had been there for 18 years. The previous owner actually closed it up,” Hulbert said. “I went in coming up on two years

ago and wanted to reopen the store there and give it a try. We spent a year and a half in that building prior to moving to Auburn.

“When I started looking for a building, I was trying to find the best market location. We figured that being down here in the valley, somewhere between Kent and Auburn, would give us a great locale. It was really sad to see Kent’s two remaining independent bookstores go this year.

But there are now only two independent bookstores left in this whole valley, Comstock and us. And we work together with Comstock to try and cross promote each other’s stores.”

Before getting into the book business, Hulbert said, he worked 15 years in online commerce. That got him started looking for books with a marketable value to sell online.

“I started buying up

these huge lots of books all over the place. I started going through them, and there just wasn’t enough we could pull out to make it worthwhile. We needed a retail exposure to make both sides of it work,” said Hulbert, a Spokane native and a longtime Maple Valley resident.

About 5 percent of what the store carries is new, from new best sellers to “stuff from a multitude of local authors,” Hulbert said.

The total inventory, including what’s in the warehouse, is about 120,000 books, making it one of the area’s larger collections.

The bookstore offers a lot of events – author signings, children’s days and poetry readings, to cite only the title page.

“We also bring in art from local artists on a rotating basis. We have up above [ more BOOKStore page 13 ]

Covey races her way into district meet

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

For Auburn Riverside senior Rachel Covey, this weekend is all about the number 35.

Covey – who qualified for this Saturday’s Westside Classic Girls 4A District Cross Country meet at American Lake Golf Course in Lakewood with a 13th place finish at the subdistrict meet last Saturday at Ft. Steliacoom – said she isn’t looking to run any specific times. She just hopes to be fast enough to finish in the top-35, which would send her on to the Cross Country State Championship Meet Nov. 9 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco for the second consecutive year.

“I’m just aiming for a 20ish (minutes) time,” she said. “Mostly, it’s just about that top-35.”

This season has been trying, Covey said. In addition to battling knee and iliotibial band issues, the Raven’s lead runner has had to deal with the loss of five seniors from last year’s state qualifying squad. [ more Covey page 18 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ Football from page 16 ] Coming into the game, the Ravens (6-1 league, 6-2 overall) needed to put away the Conquerors (6-1, 7-1) to win the North title.

Now the matter will be settled next week, with Kentwood needing a win against Kentlake (3-4, 3-5) to claim the division. A Conquerors’ loss and a Ravens’ win against Auburn (5-2, 5-2) next Friday earns the championship for Auburn Riverside.

“We can still win it,” Ravens coach Bryant Thomas said. “We need some help, but at the end of the day, what’s more important than that title is beating Auburn next week. That’s more important than any title. The Fugate Trophy is on the line. We got to win that game.”

On Friday, with 2,000 fans packed into Auburn Memorial Stadium for Auburn Riverside’s homecoming

[ Fugate from page 16 ] I was in seventh grade at Cascade Middle School, when I started playing football,” Auburn’s senior quarterback Brier Atkinson said. “We heard from our coach how big of a deal it was. He told us it was a longstanding trophy and we really had to win it. My first experience with the game was back in 2006, watching Kellen Kiilsgaard do what he does and win the game.”

festivities, the Ravens and Conks battled to the last second.

With 1 minute, 51 seconds left in the game, Kentwood’s Brandon Sytsma punched it in from a yard out to take the lead for Kentwood, 28-21.

Starting out on its own 20, Auburn Riverside drove to Kentwood’s 11-yard line in the waning moments of the game. But Conquerors linebacker Tim Angevine secured the victory by picking off a Thomson pass in the end zone with 30 seconds left on the clock.

“Our coaching staff got in an argument on Sunday night because we wanted this so bad for the kids,” Kentwood coach Rex Norris said.

“We threw out a lot of things and just decided that if we’re going to get beat, let’s get beat going really fast.

And the kids did a great job tonight doing that.”

receiver Drew Wallen said. “I didn’t really understood the caliber of the game and how into it the city gets. It’s really more than a football game.

Even the peewee football players will brag about it.”

For much of the rivalry, the Fugate Trophy’s residence has been at Auburn High School. Until 2011. That year a 3-5 Auburn Riverside team came in to take on a 3-5 Auburn squad, with the Ravens coming out on top 30-23.

Auburn Riverside senior quarterback Kevin Thomson was a sophomore on that team.

The Ravens were led by Thomson, who had 68 yards on the ground and was 21-of-44 in the air for 225 yards, two interceptions and a TD. Drew Wallen had 14 catches for 185 yards.

Joey Lucchesi and Cole Huckaby had 40 and 37 yards rushing, respectively. Each added a touchdown run.

“I have to give credit to my kids,” Thomas said. “They played hard until the last play. (Kentwood) just made a play, and we didn’t.”

Kentwood hosts Kentlake (3-4, 3-5) at 7 p.m. next Friday at French Field in Kent.

For Auburn Riverside, it’s the annual rivalry game with Auburn (5-2, 5-3) for the Fugate Trophy. Kickoff is 7 p.m. next Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

“We’ll be up for them,” Thomas said.

“I didn’t really know a lot about the game because I didn’t grow up in the Auburn district,” Thomson said. “But I think we had some really good athletes that year and good players, and they hadn’t pieced it together for the whole season. It just came as a big surprise when we did win.”

“It was definitely special, just being part of something no other class had done,” Wallen added. “It was pretty incredible.”

This year the game is about more than bragging rights. This year, there are

McClatcher scored on runs of 76 in the first quarter, 17 (third) and 39 yards (fourth). He also scored on a 90-yard pass play from quarterback Keenan Curran in the third quarter that triggered the Eagles’ 26-point second-half explosion.

For Auburn, Ercle Terrell scored on a 25-yard run, and Brier Atkinson ran 12 yards for another for Auburn, which held a 20-3 halftime lead. Terrell led the Trojans in rushing with 115 yards on 14 carries.

playoff implications on the line. The Ravens come in with a 6-1 South Puget Sound League North 4A record, 6-2 overall, and a guaranteed spot in the postseason.

The Trojans, however, will be fighting for their season.

With a 5-2 SPSL North 4A record, 5-3 overall, there is no guarantee for Auburn.

A win against Auburn Riverside earns the team a spot in the postseason.

A loss muddies the water for the Trojans, forcing the team to rely on Tahoma (4-3, 5-3) beating Jefferson (5-2, 5-3) and Kentlake (3-4, 3-5) beating Kentwood (6-1, 6-2) to help them secure one of four seeds out of the SPSL North 4A “Riverside has an excellent team,” Elliott said. “They have a quality senior class, and the new coaching staff has done an excellent job of installing their program.

They have proven to be one of the best teams in the league and are deserving of their playoff berth.”

“It’s going to be a high intensity game,” Thomson said.

“We know we can beat any team if we play our game. I feel pretty good about the game and I’m excited to play it.”

The game kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium, Auburn is the home team.

[18] November 1, 2013 me speed-wise, they’re [ Covey from page 16 ] “Mostly the difference this year has been that we had five of our top girls graduate last year (including Lauren Saunders and Cassidy Brown), and I just haven’t had as many people to run with and push me,” she said.

“Hopefully though, I’ll get that time back down.”

Last season at this time she was finishing races with times in the mid-19-minute mark. At the subdistrict meet this past Saturday, she dipped below 20-minutes for the first time this season, shaving off 15.96 seconds with a 19:52.98 finish.

“It’s important [to run with other good runners], it pushes you,” she said.

“When you’re on your own, it’s easy to relax. I’ve really had to concentrate on being mentally tough and focusing on my own goals, as well as the team’s goals.”

Although her teammates may not be able to keep up with her on the course, Covey said, their support has been a help throughout the season.

“I knew I had an amazing group of girls — even if they couldn’t run with

an amazing group of girls support-wise,” she said.

“They’ve got my back. So that was nice.”

Despite her being the only Raven girl runner competing this Saturday, Covey said the team will be in Lakewood to cheer her on.

“That will be nice, but it’ll be lonely without them,” she said. “Plus, the major difference will be the start, because normally we’d be all together in the middle at the start line. But the individual qualifiers without a team will be on the far right, which adds almost another 100 meters to the race. That’s the part I’m a little worried about.

“This is crunch time now and (Fort Steilacoom) is just an awesome course,” Covey continued.

“It’s coming down to crunch time and physically my conditioning is back where I want it to be, and hopefully I can get back to that level I was at last year.”

Covey, a 3.91 GPA student who hopes to attend Baylor University in Texas next year, said it’s unlikely that she’ll run in college, so she’s cherish-

“It’s pretty sad,” Covey said. “It’ll hit me more once I’m done with track in the spring. It’s been an amazing time here, I’ve loved every minute of it. I can’t imagine not going out every day and Rachel Covey running with my team. It’s going to be a rough transition.”

November 1, 2013 [19]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ RAID from page 1 ] by pulling off the surprise bombing raid of the Japanese homeland.

Such a feat did much to steady a nation still reeling from Japan’s devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. The United States’ retaliatory, daylight strike proved Japan’s vulnerability and provided a vital morale boost for a resilient nation thrown into battle.

“Some say we changed the course of the war. I guess we probably did, to some degree,” said Saylor, of Enumclaw, at 93, one of only four original “Raiders” living today. “We did what we had to do.”

Saylor, a sergeant flight engineer on plane No. 15, known as “TNT,” shares his story of duty, survival and honor at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Auburn Avenue Theater, 10 Auburn Ave. The free program is part of the City of Auburn’s Veterans Day Observance, a prelude to Saturday’s parade down Main Street.

Saylor, who grew up on a cattle ranch in Montana, enlisted in the U.S. Army Air

The crew of the No. 15 plane ‘TNT’: 89th Reconnaissance Squadron, Lt. Donald G. Smith, pilot; Lt. Griffith P. Williams, co-pilot; Lt. Howard A. Sessler, navigator/bombardier; Lt. Thomas R. White, flight engineer; and Sgt. Edward J. Saylor, flight engineer. U.S. Air Force photo Forces to learn a trade and to serve his country.

The call of duty lured the young airman to volunteer for a special mission designed by Lt. Col. James “Jimmy” Doolittle.

“We didn’t know what it was all about. We had no idea,” Saylor said. “We thought probably we were going to go some place where there were short runways to fight the war … but it turned

out to be Japan.”

Saylor soon discovered it would be a dangerous flight, a daylight raid without an escort.

“I didn’t expect to survive the mission. The odds were too great,” he said. “The more I think about it, the more amazing it becomes. At the time, we were well trained … the war was on. It’s just what you do. … We went into the front door of the enemy.”

Saylor was aboard one of 16 twin-engined B-25 Mitchell bombers that launched from the flight deck of the USS Hornet, climbing into a 30-mph headwind to reach a cruising altitude of just under 1,500 feet over the deep Western Pacific Ocean.

None of the B-25 pilots, including Doolittle, had ever taken off from a carrier.

Crews had just enough fuel to reach their military targets in Japan then continue westward to land in China.

The raid met little resistance, caused negligible material damage, but it succeeded in its goal of helping American morale and casting doubt in Japan on the ability of the Japanese military leaders. It prompted Japan’s military leaders to withdraw the nation’s powerful aircraft carrier force from the Indian Ocean to defend their home islands. The raid also contributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s decision to attack Midway in the Central Pacific, where the U.S. Navy routed the Imperial Japanese Navy.

After the attack, the bombers, running low on fuel and facing deteriorat-

ing weather, tried to reach intended bases in China.

Fifteen aircraft made it to the Chinese coast, where their crews crash landed or bailed out. One crew flew to the Soviet Union.

All but three of the crew survived, but the aircraft were lost. The Japanese Army captured eight crewmen in China and executed three.

Thirteen entire crews, and all but one crewman of a 14th, returned either to the United States or to American forces.

Saylor was one of the survivors. He survived a splash landing along the China coast, avoided capture and hitch-hiked westward to West Africa, where he found his way home.

He and his wife, Lorraine, were married for 69 years before her passing several years ago. They raised three children.

Saylor made the military his career. He retired in Tacoma a lieutenant colonel after 28 years with the Air Corps and its successor, the Air Force.

“It was an obligation,” he said of his service. “(Looking back) I’ve had good luck and a good life.”

Auburn High School’s 27th annual Veterans Day Marching Band Competition is Saturday, Nov. 9 from 1 to 9:30 p.m. at Auburn Memorial Stadium, 801 Fourth Ave. NE. The event, hosted by the Auburn High School Band and Choir Parents, features some of the best high school marching bands from Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Twenty-six high school marching bands will appear in Auburn’s 48th annual Veterans Day Parade beginning at 11 a.m. Nov. 9 on Main Street, which constitutes preliminary marching competition.

Mayor Pete Lewis and his wife Kathy, Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren and Auburn High School Principal Richard Zimmerman will present trophies following a full-band retreat on Troy Field at 9:30 p.m.

Tickets for all-day admission are $15 for adults, $10 for students (ages 6-18) and $12 for seniors (62 and older) and military with ID. Proceeds from the competition benefit the Auburn High band program.

Amy Stevenson-Ness City Clerk Published in Auburn Reporter November 1, 8, 2013. #909163 REVISED NOTICE OF SEPA DETERMINATION MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE City of Pacific – Stewart Road Roadway Improvements THE PROPOSAL: Stewart Road is a critical eastwest commercial and public transportation corridor providing local access to SR 167, a state highway providing regional access to I-5 in Tacoma/Fife, SR 18 in Auburn, and I-405 in Renton.

Its two-lane capacity is restricting movement of freight and

goods and causing congestion.

The project proposes to widen approximately 0.5 miles of Stewart Road from the SR 167 ramps to Butte Avenue SE. The roadway will be widened from two lanes to five lanes including a two-way center turn lane. It will also include the installation curbs, gutters on both sides, a 5foot sidewalk on the south side of the road, and a 10-foot multiuse trail with a planting strip on the north side of the road.

Two hundred feet of the south leg of Thornton Avenue SW will also be widened to include one through lane in each direction and a center left turn lane. The northern leg of Thornton Avenue SW will be widened up to the City’s proposed right-of-way limits so that it aligns with the widening of the southern side. A traffic signal will also be installed at the Thornton Avenue SW / Stewart Road intersection.

Tie-in improvements will occur at the intersection of Stewart Road and Valentine Avenue SW. Sidewalks, curbs, and gutters will be included with the improvements on Thornton Avenue SW. Other work will involve upgrading the existing water main along Stewart Road from Thornton Avenue SW, which will extend and connect to an existing water main along the east shoulder of the West Valley Highway.

Additional work will include illumination, signage, utility relocation, and stormwater detention and conveyance system upgrades.

This project will occur in two phases: Phase I: State Route 167 to approximately 330 feet east of Valentine Avenue SW Phase II: Valentine Avenue SW to the west boundary of Butte Avenue SE Lead Agency: City of Pacific Case Number: SEPA-12-002 Location of Proposal: The proposed project is located within

Initiative 522 – badly written, costly and misleading Consumers would pay higher grocery prices “Economic studies show I-522 would increase grocery prices for Washington families by hundreds of dollars per year.”

Dan Newhouse, Former Director Washington State Department of Agriculture

Many food labels would be false and inaccurate “Initiative 522 is so badly written it would require some foods to be labeled as genetically engineered, even if they're not. It would give consumers misleading information.”

Ken Eikenberry, Former Washington State Attorney General

I-522 won’t give consumers what they’re looking for “Initiative 522 isn't based on sound science and wouldn't give consumers accurate or reliable information. I-522 would not make our food any safer, but it would make our food more expensive.”

Dr. Nancy Auer, Former President Washington State Medical Association*

“Washington voters and consumers can serve their best interests by voting No on I-522.”

Seattle Times Editorial, 10/5/13

“I-522 doesn’t live up to its own truth-inpackaging claims.”

Tacoma News Tribune Editorial, 10/6/13

“Labeling needs to be done the right way, and I-522 falls short.”

Everett Herald Editorial, 10/16/13

“Exemptions for everything from dairy and beef products to restaurant foods render much of I-522 meaningless to consumers.”

The Spokesman-Review Editorial, 10/22/13

“[I-522] would confuse rather than inform, so voters should reject this poorly worded and deceptive initiative.”

The Olympian Editorial, 10/22/13
