Allegations, emotions flare in 31st District Senate race

BY DENNIS BOX dbox@courierherald.com

The Independence Day fireworks were little more than sparklers compared to the fiery battle raging in the 31st District Senate race between Republicans Pam Roach and Cathy Dahlquist.

Roach is seeking her seventh term in the state Senate, while Dahlquist, first elected in 2010, is a two-term member of the state House of Representatives.

Although Reps. Chris Hurst and Dahlquist, Roach’s seat mates in the 31st, supported her in 2010, they are now working together to

unseat the longtime senator.

The primary is Aug. 5. King County Elections has mailed ballots throughout the district. They must be postmarked by election day.

Lynda Messner, identified as a Democrat, is also on the ballot, but the two camps disagree whether she truly is a Democrat or was

placed in the field to help Roach.

Hurst and Dahlquist have said she is a “fake” Democrat. Roach said she had not met Messner prior to a recent encounter at The Seattle Times, but thought she was “a nice lady.” [ more RACE page 8 ]

City holds hearing on moratorium on communal housing applications

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Julia Short supports Green River Community College and education.

As it turns out, the retired GRCC teacher of nursing also backs the City Council’s recent decision to impose

a one-year moratorium on acceptance of applications and other licenses, permits and approvals for communal rental housing throughout the city.

“Some stuff has been getting out of hand,” Short told the Auburn City Council on Monday

Julia Short discusses her concerns about communal housing with the City Council. ROBERT WHALE, Reporter

At its regularly scheduled meeting Monday night at City Hall, the Pacific City Council takes the next step in the process of sorting out what the heck to do with all those marijuana stores.

Among the items expected to be on the agenda are three new ordinances that would add sections to the City’s municipal code to address the production, processing and selling of recreational and medical marijuana.

The first of the ordinances would add chapter 5.12 to the municipal code, laying out the regulations for recreational businesses in the city.

The new language would work hand-in-hand with the already established Washington State Liquor Control Board’s rules for recreational businesses, such as processing, production and retailing.

A second ordinance would add chapter 20.78 to the City code, requiring recreational businesses to obtain licensing from the WSLCB and the City, which would issue a business permit.

The third of the proposed ordinances would add chapter 20.79 to the City code, thus placing an outright ban on any medical marijuana [ more POT page 7 ]

Valley Regional Fire Authority had to extricate Goodnow and Holmes.

Smelling liquor on Goodnow’s breath, the first officer at the scene asked responding medics to obtain a blood draw.

The subsequent toxicology report from the Washington State Crime Lab showed Goodnow’s blood-alcohol content at the time of the accident to have been 0.16, twice the legal limit. The report also revealed that he had 56 milligrams of carboxy-THC in his system, proving that he had consumed marijuana at some point over the days leading up to the accident.

Goodnow is a convicted felon with a record of numerous criminal charges.

GUEST OP

Let’s change, be responsible in supporting cleaner energy “Every one of us in the Western world has contributed to climate change.”

– Bill McKibben, American environmentalist, author, and journalist Recently, I organized a couple of events with the goal of showing people how their choices and actions can make a real difference in the effort to end our dependence on fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

I hosted a movie about the Koch brothers at the Auburn library. Less than a week later, I went to Les Gove Park with a petition to the CEO of our regional power company, urging them to stop using coal and to move us decisively in the direction of clean energy.

Charles and David Koch are heavily invested in fossil fuels. They own 1.1 million acres of land in Alberta, Canada, land that could be exploited for the extraction of tar sands bitumen, the dirtiest fossil fuel known.

The Koch brothers would profit enormously from the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, and through such front groups as Americans for Prosperity, they spread lies and propaganda across the American heartland, promising lower gasoline prices and more jobs from this environmentally destructive project.

The truth is, of course, that the jobs created would be few and temporary, and the pipeline would pump more foreign oil onto the world market with the possibility of an upward effect on Midwestern gasoline prices, where there is already a glut of domestic Bakken crude.

I am involved with the NoKXL Pledge of Resistance, a group dedicated to opposing the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Do candidates understand K-12 education?

In this day and age of political beliefs, principals and given the polarization of politics, it is refreshing to hear that we have candidates who believe collaboration is one of the many ways to solve problems in our communities.

We recently had coffee with Chris Barringer (D), who is running for Position 1 in the 47th Legislative District. As we shared our expectations and concerns about K-12 public education, there were several areas that Chris voiced his common views about these same matters.

Chris also showed that he has good understanding of the issues that face our school district as well as our state, particularly in K-12 education, which is very important to us.

He was alone with no next of kin.

The hospital, having no information on any living relative, placed his body in the morgue. He had been living in Auburn with Annie Johnson, whom he had met at a counseling class several years earlier.

Alberti had been admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with pneumonia. That morning he called Annie to tell her that he thought he would be discharged that afternoon. When she arrived to see him, his bed was empty, and she was informed he had passed away.

Because Annie was not related to John, she was unable to make

Annie contacted her longtime friend, Tim Graves of Kent, for help. Knowing Alberti had served in Vietnam, they obtained his records. After reading through his record they discovered that Alberti had been a highly-decorated Navy SEAL. Alberti was born in Honolulu on Sept. 24, 1940. There is no information of John’s life between the bombing in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and his enlistment in the Navy in Santa Cruz, Calif., on

Sen. Pam Roach has wishy washed her way around this state long enough. Leaning this way and that way, anyway she has to, to get reelected.

It’s time for Roach to go off and rest somewhere.

I have voted Democratic most of my life, but I still hunt around for the rare Republican or independent who seems to see things to my way of thinking. Cathy Dahlquist is who I would vote for this go-round.

Lynda Messner is no Democrat. In my opinion, her leanings are more toward the Tea Party way of doing things.

his 17th birthday. At the time of enlistment, John was 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

He did not finish high school, but in the service he got his GED. John served his first four years and obtained the rank of GM2 E5.

He re-enlisted on Sept. 24, 1961 in Barbers Point, Oahu, and served another four years. He served a total of five years, six months and nine days at sea. [ more ALBERTI page 6 ]

Vote for Dahlquist; Roach must go I continue to read with interest every week the advertisements put out by Sen. Pam Roach, who claims that the East Coast Washington Post called her the most effective legislator in Olympia.

In fact, the Seattle Weekly called her the least effective legislator in the entire state, and the Seattle Times endorsed Rep. Cathy Dahlquist over Sen. Roach.

I’m not sure how you can be effective when your sanctioned by your own party and banned from your own caucus. All this because you have mistreated your own staff and verbally abused Republican staff. Now in the latest case, according to the Tacoma News Tribune and the Seattle Times, she recruited a fake “Democrat” to help her beat Rep. Cathy Dahlquist in the August primary.

Linda Messner is no Democrat and, in fact, may be even be too far right to be Republican. She claims

www.auburn-reporter.com that our president is not an American citizen and equates him with Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy.

That doesn’t sound like a Democrat to me, and I certainly haven’t ever heard my Democratic friends talk about the president that way.

Sen. Pam Roach will do anything to stay in power after almost a quarter of a century in office, and this latest scandal is proof of that.

The paper said that filing a fake candidate isn’t a crime but it certainly demonstrates an arrogance of power on Senator Roach’s part.

It’s time that the Democrats know that they don’t have a Democrat on the ballot and they should not be casting a vote for Linda Messner. It’s time to stop playing games. It’s time to vote for Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, and it’s time for Sen. Pam Roach to go.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ HOUSING from page 1 ] “Stuff ” is shorthand for negative activities neighbors link to overcrowded student housing in residential homes north of GRCC. Fed up by those problems, residents last year pushed for and got the City to adopt new rules that allow a maximum of four unrelated persons in a home.

But when it later turned out that the ordinance, which went into effect in January, would allow more than four persons via a conditional use permit process, neighbors suggested a moratorium to give the officials and residents time to craft better rules.

A recent decision of the City Hearing Examiner allows a Rainier Ridge couple, Shao Xia Zhu and her husband, Gary Kiefer, to operate a home for up to seven people via the conditional use permit process and under very strict conditions.

Neighbors say that in gen-

[ GUNN from page 5 ] The pipeline has been delayed again and again over the last five years by the concerted efforts of groups like ours employing tactics ranging from email petitions to civil disobedience.

Today the KXL pipeline has no legal route through either Nebraska (where the route has been challenged in a lawsuit) or South Dakota (where the permit has expired due to delays). These successful efforts show how regular people, working together, can oppose and win against extremes of wealth and entrenched political power.

Here in the Northwest, we face increasing train traffic as fossil fuel companies try to get land-locked deposits of coal and oil to markets in Asia. Burning coal anywhere in the world releases carbon into the atmosphere, carbon that was captured and placed into long-term storage millennia ago by natural processes.

Rapidly undoing the work that took nature millions of years in just a few decades has resulted in a completely unprecedented and unnatural spike in global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps the energy of the sun, warming the oceans and changing the pattern of our climate so that now sudden and violent storms are becoming the norm.

Storms and floods in one part of the world translate to intense heat and drought

eral they could put up with four students per residence without a landlord present, which City regulations permit outright without a hearing. But allowing any more than that, they say, falls far short of what they and other proponents of new rules had expected from the ordinance.

Rainier Ridge resident Russ Campbell asked for the moratorium in June.

Such packed housing in what the subdivision’s builders intended to be a single-family residential neighborhood, Campbell insisted, is wrong and would be detrimental to surrounding property values.

“I wanted to say that I appreciate how much work council members and the committee put into [Ordinance} 6477 last year,” Campbell said. “But we discovered that there were some flaws and the need for some finetuning of that. The moratorium helps that process along and allows that to be in others. Both extremes threaten agriculture, putting the global food supply at risk. At the same time, the human population is growing at an unsustainable rate.

Some of the damage and suffering caused by anthropogenic climate change cannot be prevented. But we can make changes in our daily lives that will make a difference and turn us as a society onto more sustainable paths.

It’s that sense of urgency that got me out of my house to host these gatherings.

I must have spoken to a couple of hundred people in just the past couple of weeks.

Many are not ready for the change, but others are, and I take hope from that willingness to see that up to now, we in the Northwest have been lucky to escape the worst depredations of the climate crisis. But that does not lessen our responsibility to be a part of the solution and to begin making our voices heard in the global effort to bring about an end to the era of unlimited burning of fossil fuels.

So what can we do?

First, stop buying products made by Koch Industries. Vote with your dollars and your feet. If your bank funds mountain-top removal coal mining, take your money to a local credit union. If your investment company sells funds including stocks from companies like Exxon and Monsanto, find another broker who sells a greener, socially responsible fund.

If your university or church has investments,

examined and for us to come back with a clearer idea of how to control rental housing in our neighborhood.”

Councilman John Holman, chair of the Planning and Community Development Committee, explained after Monday’s hearing where this particular issue is headed.

“I think it’s going to be a four-person maximum, but that probably will not pencil for someone to do,” said Holman, whose committee over the past year has done most of the work on the ordinance.

“If someone wants to buy his house and let his son or daughter use it with a couple roommates while they’re in college, fine and dandy …

The slippery slope we want to avoid is to start defining what a family is — you know, these families can live here and these can’t,” Holman said.

The moratorium includes a work plan that accommodates an initial one-year moratorium. urge them to divest from fossil fuels. Buy a more fuel efficient car, insulate and weatherize your home, plant a tree (plant 10 trees) and above all, when you have the opportunity to make a public comment on civic projects to build infrastructure for fossil fuel exports, make your voice heard loud and clear: no coal trains and no exploding oil trains should be allowed passage through the Great Northwest.

At the park on the Fourth of July, gathering signatures for the Sierra Club petition, I saw older, uninterested passersby, parents with teens or young adult kids, move past our booth as quickly as possible. But it was the young people with them who hung back, saying, “Sure, I’ll sign” or “tell me more.”

businesses in Pacific.It’s this possible outcome that concerns Anthony Gilbert, owner of Chronic Solutions, one of four medical marijuana dispensaries in Pacific.

“So basically the City is considering banning medical while allowing recreational,” Gilbert said.

“Where is the compassion? What are they doing? The reality is that the City of Pacific isn’t doing anything, they’re being controlled by lawyers and the insurance company.

It’s pretty sad in reality.”

Gilbert was a member of the city’s Marijuana Uses Advisory Workgroup, which released a report on April 22 looking at potential benefits, hazards and outcomes of recreational and medical marijuana businesses in Pacific. Gilbert said he’s concerned that the

That young people get this, more than anything else, gives me hope for the future.

Sometimes the older folks would look at me askance and say, “I don’t buy all this liberal crap. I’m a conservative.” Well, I’d say, “So am I. I think we have a really great planet here, and since there aren’t any other nice planets in this general vicinity, I’d really like to keep this one in good operating order, thank you very much. Now that’s what I call conserving your resources!”

I did meet a smart young man who took issue with our petition to get Puget Sound Energy to stop buying power from coal-fired plants in Montana. He denied that climate change was even happening, much less that it is caused by humans. He claimed that solar and wind are not able to supply our

more than 100 patients he serves daily at his dispensary, all card-carrying medical marijuana patients, will be the ones left out if a ban is instituted.

“Obviously, compassion doesn’t matter, money matters,” Gilbert said. “I was on the workgroup with the City, and they didn’t use any of my suggestions. They also didn’t even have the report online when they started this process. If they want to regulate it, let’s regulate it. But the bottom line is money.

This screams monopoly, money and insurance companies and lawyers.”

Gilbert, a lifelong resident, said he’s committed to continue fighting and advocating for medical marijuana in his community.

“I’m really disappoint-

power needs, and that we have to keep using fossil fuels because the industry employs so many people.

We showed him evidence that investing money in building solar arrays or wind farms creates more jobs than investing similar amounts of money into extracting fossil fuels. We talked about the fact that companies externalize the costs of cleaning up pollution and treating human illnesses directly caused by the extraction and burning of fossil fuels.

I explained to him that the U.S. has a policy of underselling coal leases on public lands, creating a hidden subsidy to coal companies, paid for by the American taxpayer, without their knowledge or consent, and that when the cost of coal includes fair prices for leas-

ed,” Gilbert said. “Being from the city, I’m not going to roll over, I will not sit back and let the City of Pacific willy-nilly do whatever they want.

We see 100 people a day, check their cards and help them. The people that are on the council are out of touch with the people in the city. There is a disconnect there.”

The City held a public hearing July 16 on the proposed ordinances.

At Monday's meeting, the council decides which ordinances to move on to the planning commission. The planning commission will then discuss the ordinances and decide whether to pass them back to the council for another public hearing and a vote on adoption.

The meeting begins at 6:30 at City Hall, 100 Third Ave. SE. ing public lands and the cost to repair damage to the environment and public health, coal won’t be economically competitive with renewable forms of energy. On top of that, wind and solar are ready and able to supply the planet’s needs. Germany has seen days when as much as 75 percent of its power comes from solar generation.

We can, too.

I don’t think I convinced the young man, but maybe I opened a crack of light into the dark bubble he’s living in. For the sake of his kids, I hope so.

state’s box.”

The senator said she receives personal, legislative and campaign mail, including checks, at P.O. Box 682.

“It isn’t a state mail box, but I’m charging them a little rent because they put mail in there,” Roach said.

“I am allowing the state to send mail to me. Sometimes the state gets to pay me rent because I’m letting their mail go there. That’s how I look at this.”

Roach also charges the state roundtrip mileage to the post office to pick up the mail, 22 miles, which calculates to $12.32 per trip.

“The only reason I go on a daily basis is because I have legislative stuff I know is there,” Roach said. “I go to Auburn for a lot reasons.

All you have to do is look at my poor car and look at the mileage on it.”

Multiple times during Friday’s interview Roach said her expense reports are not her responsibility; rather, it’s the responsibility of Secretary of the Senate Hunter Goodman and the staff that reimburses her for the expenses.

“If there had been a problem they would have said something to me,” Roach said. “(These) policies have long been established.

Everything is properly done.

The responsibility for this goes to the person writing the check.”

Roach added that she does not enter the expense items, her legislative aide does.

“I never see the report,” Roach said. “It didn’t used to be that way. Before, everything was electronic, I would look at it and sign it.”

Roach and Dahlquist said they do not receive mail at a post office box but at their district office.

Roach was questioned about an entry from Feb. 26 for two entries to a sportsman event. One listed as Sportsman’s Event Salem, 322 miles, $180.32, and the other as Sportsmen’s Caucus, 327 miles, for $183.12.

She added that if there had been a problem, a staff member working for Goodman would have called.

“That didn’t occur. I was doing state business, and there you go,” Roach said.

She called her aide and asked her to check the entry.

The next day the aide sent an email stating she made a clerical error and wrote to Goodman, “I owe the Senate $183.12 for the duplicate trip.” She added Roach does not review the reimbursement request.

Roach was asked through email how mileage is calculated and reported to her aide.

She wrote she did not know but believes Google is used, “figuring in the side trips if it is not a straight shot.”

Dahlquist said she uses MapQuest, and a legislative assistant enters the data, “Then I approve it. She could submit it without me seeing it, but I want to see it.”

Cell phone Responding to the cell phone allegation, Roach said, “We all know we have to be very careful, and I certainly am,” Roach said. “And so the point here is you can try to make sure everyone knows.

It’s never going to be foolproof, which is why the Senate allows something called de minimis use – not a major thing. I try the best I can.”

Neither Hurst nor Dahlquist have a legislative cell phone.

Dahlquist said she uses her phone for legislative, personal and campaign issues, and it would be a violation to charge the state.

Hurst said it is too difficult to separate cell phones.

“It isn’t worth it,” Hurst said. “If I make one mistake, I’m in violation of the law.”

Senate oversight Because Goodman was out, Buchholz answered an email to Goodman on Monday concerning the responsibility of members’ expense reports.

“The Senate operates on an honor system,” Buchholz wrote. “We receive members’ statements for reimbursements and review them for basic compliance with policy.”

Buchholz added the staff does not monitor campaigns.

“As we are prohibited from using state funds in supporting or opposing campaign activity, we be-

The City of Pacific rolls out the red carpet for the Always Brothers 100-Mile Seattle Memorial Run on Saturday.

The auction dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Pacific Gymnasium, next to City Hall, at 100 3rd Ave. SW. Proceeds benefit educational funds for children who have lost a parent in the Afghanistan or Iraq wars.

City Councilmember Katie Garberding organized the event.

lieve that we would quickly be accused of crossing that line if we engaged in monitoring activity,” he wrote.

Hurst and Dahlquist said they see and approve all expense reports before submitting them to the House.

Accusations Each campaign has leveled multiple accusations, from attempts to fix who is on the ballot to campaign contributions.

Most appear to be political rumors and inside Olympia talk.

When Roach was first called about the expense report allegations, she said the “real story” was Hurst.

Roach brought up an issue between John Torres and Hurst that she felt was the most important issue.

“I think the story should be that a member of the State House of Representatives repeatedly called someone and urged them not to run,” Roach said.

Torres filed a police report alleging extortion and harassment, naming Hurst.

An Auburn police report appeared to uphold Hurst’s side of the story and charges were not filed.

During the Friday interview Roach she had not read the police report, but said Torres filed a complaint with the Legislative Ethics Board that she delivered to Olympia.

Hurst said Roach’s approach with the Torres’ allegation is to use character assassination.

“Pam will attack and try to destroy anyone,” Hurst said. “If she can destroy my reputation as a (former) police officer, then she thinks Cathy (Dahlquist) and I can’t work together on the campaign. People will know the truth about Pam. I’m not afraid of her. Voters need to know who she really is.”

Roach countered, saying, “He is using the character assassination, as is usually the case in an election year.

In the last 12 years there has not been one of my opponents that has ever brought up a vote I’ve taken. It’s all about coming after me.”

Journey, Steve Miller Band just keep on rockin’ ‘em, baby

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Nearly 20,000 brave rockers toughed out brutal event traffic to attend last Saturday’s Journey and Steve Miller Band show, at the White River Amphitheatre, getting a lesson in how to rock from a band that started more than 40-years ago and a 70-yearold guitar god.

Opening act Tower of Power warmed up the sparse crowd – most of the audience was still fighting a brutal 2-3 hour, 8-mile commute from Auburn to the venue – with its brand of brass-tinged funk and soul.

The Steve Miller Band occupied the middle slot at the show, led by 70-year-old guitarist and vocalist Steve Miller.

With a minimal stage show throwing the emphasis on to the tunes, the band ripped through its impressive catalog of radio hits, including “The

Joker”, “Take the Money and Run”, “Rock’n Me”, “Jet Airliner”, and “Fly Like an Eagle.”

Capping the night off was multi-platinum selling Journey, which formed in San Francisco in 1973.

The band – fronted by vocalist Arnel Pineda who replaced original singer Steve Perry after founder and guitarist Neil Schon found videos of the Philipino singer covering Journey tunes on the Internet – provided the audience with a 16-song trip through the band’s 40-plus year career, heavily mining the band’s heyday from 1978 to 1987, when it released seven consecutive multiplatinum albums, including 1981’s “Escape”.

Pineda proved the perfect vocal replacement, matching Perry’s soaring vocals, as he ably prodded the crowd on with his energy and enthusiasm.

Among the highlights were the band’s opening block

of “Be Good To Yourself”, “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” and “Any Way You Want It”.

Journey closed out the show with its 1981 mega-hit “Don’t Stop Believing” which became the top-selling single of all time on iTunes in 2009 after the tune was featured in TV’s “The Sopranos”.

The band sent the crowd off to fight traffic again after an encore of “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’”.

Mission’s van helps Auburn homeless

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness accounted for 97 homeless people in Auburn in its annual One Night Count last January.

Since July 14, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission has responded to the need by driving its weekly Search & Rescue van to Auburn every Monday night.

Sharon Thomas, public relations manager for Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, said it’s all about bringing additional resources to many of those homeless men and women who call Auburn streets home, and helping them stand on their feet again.

The Mission has 14 Search & Rescue routes that

Church welcomes new bishop FOR THE REPORTER

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a new bishop for its Lake Holm congregation in Auburn.

White River Valley Musuem exhibit looks into 100 years of womens’ shoes

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Fashionistas and shoe lovers take heed, the White River Valley Museum has an exhibit for you.

“Sole Obsession: 100 Years of Women’s Shoes from Kitten Heels to Power Pumps”, running from now until Nov. 9 in the Key Bank Gallery of the museum, spotlights the evolution of women’s

dress shoes, from the lace-up “granny boots” of the early part of the 20th century up to the more fantastic footwear of the new millennium.

“A new pair of shoes makes a woman feel great, and they last longer than a box of chocolates,” wrote Christine Palmer, exhibit curator and historic clothing aficionado.

To illustrate the evolution, and the way the styles can sometimes boomerang from

era to era, the exhibit draws shoes from the museum’s collection, as well as from the Seattle Goodwill’s Vintage Fashion Collection, Supercalifragilistic Vintage Fashion Show Collection, the Seattle Children’s Hospital Bargain Boutique Vintage Fashion Collection, the Eastside Heritage Center, the Renton History Musueum and four private local collections.

“My mother and I marvel

at how she wore platform pumps in 1944, I wore them in a revival in 1974, and in 2014 young women are wearing them again,” Palmer wrote.

The exhibit breaks the shoes into decades, and matches the styles and materials used to put them in historical context.

For instance, the exhibit’s display from the 1940s illustrates how the demands for

material for American armed forces during World War II affected footwear. Because the use of leather was restricted to the war effort, women’s shoes began using different fabrics, such as canvas, and they were restricted to just six colors: black, navy, blue, beige, brown and white.

In the past, the museum has featured other exhibits showcasing women’s apparel, including undergarments, hats and swimwear, and staff hopes the popularity of footwear with women will provide a draw.

“Today most American women own at least 19 pairs

of shoes, some secretly, although they only wear about four pairs regularly,” Palmer wrote. “Approximately 15 percent of women have over 30 pairs of shoes.”

The White River Valley Musueum is at 918 H St. SE

by Les Gove Park in Auburn.

Hours are from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and from 6-8 p.m. every first Thursday. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children and seniors, with every first Thursday and third Sunday free.

For more information, call 253-288-7433 or visit www.wrvm.org.

Kids Wish Network grants wish to Auburn’s Kylie Latta FOR THE REPORTER

If you take a quick glance, Kylie Latta doesn’t look sick, but the 11-year-old Auburn girl has been fighting cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening illness, since birth.

With a shortened life expectancy, Kylie and her family know the value of a once-ina-lifetime adventure, like the tropical wish recently granted to Kylie by Florida-based children’s charity Kids Wish Network.

Kylie qualified for a wish with the organization. The genetic disease causes the body to produce mucus that’s extremely thick and sticky, affecting mainly the lungs and pancreas. Kylie was diagnosed at birth and has struggled to stay out of the hospital ever since. She receives therapy for her lungs multiple times a day and is home schooled as a preventative measure to limit her exposure to viral pathogens and other germs.

When Kylie was told Kids Wish Network was granting her a wish, she knew exactly where she wanted to go: tropical Hawaii. The charitable

organization sent Kylie and her family on an all-expense paid wish trip to the island paradise.

“My favorite part about my trip was swimming with the dolphins,” Kylie said. “They were really friendly and well trained. I was able to signal the dolphin to do a flip.”

“Thank you, Kids Wish Network, for making this possible for my family,” said Kylie’s mom, Terri. “But as much fun as we had, it’s hard to forget how much cystic fibrosis stinks and impacts Kylie.”

Kylie struggles every day to stay ahead of her illness but continues to thrive and maintain a positive attitude.

Kids Wish Network and the Latta family thank all the sponsors that helped grant Kylie’s wish: The Sheraton Waikiki; Germaine’s Luau; Waikiki Aquarium; Dole Plantation; Dolphin Quest; Ruby Tuesday; Enterprise Rent-A-Car; Honolulu Zoo Society; P.F. Chang’s; California Pizza Kitchen; and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Playful Fido: a creature of habit

BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center

Dogs love and need predictable routines.

If your work, school or vacation schedule has given you more time at home with Fido this summer, follow these tips to ease him into your fall routine: Home alone. If Fido’s used to having company all day long but will be left alone for 8 to 9 hours a day in a few weeks, use this time to gently ease him back to a normal weekday schedule.

For many dogs, a sudden

change can result in separation anxiety or destructive behavior.

Gradual change is better.

If it helps, put Fido’s transition schedule on the family calendar.

Exercise. When the family is home all day, the dog’s activities are spread throughout the day. Fido may only get a 30-minute nap once or twice a day, in between all the family barbecues, walks to the park and camping trips.

Consider how you’re going to give your companion the same amount of physi-

cal exercise when you go back to work or school.

Set aside 30 minutes, twice a day, just for Fido.

Play ball. Go for a run. Take a walk.

Without proper exercise, dogs often become destructive when left home alone.

Mind Games. Dogs who interact with humans all day long become accustomed to the mental stimulation.

Look at summer through your dog’s eyes. Every day is entertaining, interesting and stimulating.

There’s always someone available to toss the ball,

Looking to adopt?

shake a paw, take a walk or rub your belly. Think of ways to exercise your dog’s mind during the Fall so he doesn’t get bored.

Set aside time every day to teach a new trick or practice obedience skills during your walk to the park.

Join a training class to learn new skills together, such as agility, or therapy, or rally-style obedience.

A little thought and advance planning can help Fido handle the changes when your family goes back to school and work this fall.

Auburn Little League Juniors are Dynamite!

Softball squad nabs state title, heads to regionals

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Before the season even started, Perry Azevedo and his Auburn Little League Juniors Dynamite all-star softball team knew it would be their last shot at Little League glory.

With all of the members of the squad either in high school or poised to start their prep careers next year, and their manager, Azevedo, ready to hang up his spikes after 12 years with the league, everyone felt the urgency.

“A lot of these girls we’ve coached before, some of them since they were seven or eight years old,” Azevedo

The Dynamite celebrate their state title on July 15 at the state tournament in Shoreline. The team is: Brianna Azevedo, Caitlyn Rhoades, Carly Ross, Emily Bartholomew, Geane Alcedo, Jillian Tinsley, Jordyn Judge, Laurel Tauzer, Megan Perius, Mindy Wanner, Riley Mehl and Taylor Hanson. Perry Azevedo manages the team. Dave Judge and Steve Rhoades are the coaches. PHOTO COURTESY DAVE JUDGE said. “A lot of them came up from the majors team from last year. And a lot of them are from my club team (the

Surge). They decided that, because it was the last year, they would do Little League this year, also.”

Now, a little more than a month since the Dynamite began tournament play, the girls are on the verge of

achieving the ultimate prize – a trip to the 2014 Little League Juniors Softball World Series — and a shot at the championship.

But first the team has to fight its way out of the Western Regionals, which begin July 31 in Tuscon, Ariz.

To earn its spot, the team captured the Little Washington State Juniors softball title on July 17 in Shoreline, the league’s first softball state title.

Coming into tournament play this summer, Azevedo said, he was confident about the team’s on-field talent, but he understood that it would take more than raw athletic ability to go the distance.

“You never know what’s going to happen when you bring them all together,” he said. “Before the district [ more SOFTBALL page 15 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ SOFTBALL from page 14] winning ways with a 12-3 tournament started, we knew they had the talent, we just wondered if they were going to have it between the ears.

They’re 14, so who knows?

But they just started coming together.”

After the team beat its first-round district tourney opponent, South Hill, 17-1, Azevedo said, he knew he had a group of winners on his hands.

“People were coming up after and saying, ‘Great job, coach.’ And I just thought, hey, this is easy. I’m just a cheerleader on the field.”

Riding the arms of No. 1 starter Kaitlyn Rhoades and closer Brianna Azevedo, and the on-the-field leadership of catcher Laurel Tauzer, the team tore its way through the field of opponents in the district tourney and then the state tourney.

Indeed, the Dynamite swept the state field at Meridian Park in Shoreline, opening with an 8-5 win on July 12 over the Bainbridge Island all-stars, and continued its

Washington Racing 2014 Hall of Fame inductees announced Trainer Ben Harris and jockey Ricky Frazier head a stellar field of inductees into this year’s Washing-

thrashing of the Woodinville National league team from District 8.

Auburn wrapped up play in the state tourney with two wins over the District 1 champs from Lake Stevens/ Granite Falls, with scores of 5-1 and 14-1 on July 15 and 17, respectively.

In addition to the efforts of his battery – all offensive contributors as well – Azevedo credits his team’s offensive output, including that of Emily Bartholomew, Megan Perius and Taylor Hanson.

Key to the team’s success, however, Rhoades and Tauzer say, has been chemistry and unity.

“It’s a lot of mental work,” Rhoades said. “We work hard as a team and don’t get down on each other. Before every game, we’ll get together and have a pep talk about how we need to get in the game mentally. Physically, too. We just always think, what can we do to get better? And we always say ‘why not us?’”

“We’re very together as a team, I would say,” Tauzer

added. “We have worked through some problems, and that has made us closer communication wise. We’re getting better at picking each other up, and that’s an important part of the game — knowing you’re together as a team and they are behind you. When we got to state, I really saw everyone focus because they really wanted it bad. I hadn’t seen that type of focus from this group of girls yet, and it impressed me.”

The double elimination Junior West Regional Tournament starts July 31 and ends Aug. 8 in Tuscon.

Auburn opens up with a 5 p.m. July 31 game against the Idaho state champs.

The winner of the regional competition moves on to the 2014 Little League Juniors Softball World Series, Aug. 10-16 at Everest Park in Kirkland, Wash.

...obituaries Winnifred Bitney Nelson

Winnifred (Winnie) Gale BitneyNelson passed away at her home on July 10, 2014 following a two year battle with cancer. She was born in Enumclaw, WA on July 30, 1953 and graduated from Enumclaw High School in 1970.

Winnie loved road trips and faraway travel, visiting Africa, Mexico, The Caribbean, Great Britain and Romania.

Her foremost love was her family, most of whom lived nearby.

Her grandchildren called her “Gaga”, which she loved, and they would often come and stay with her. She had a beautiful little cabin high in the hills above Omak and went there as often as she could. She did much of the work herself, with friends and families pitching in whenever they could. She was a kind and generous person who would help anyone in need and she was a great listener. She loved American Antiques and often went searching for them with her longtime very good friend, Curt Konoske.

She is survived by her brothers; Jim Bitney (Sandy) and John Bitney (Wendy) of Enumclaw; her sister, Cheryl Ogle (Larry) of Coupeville,WA; her daughters, Sarah Scott (Justin) and Emily Forrester (Clay) of Buckley and her son, Seth Nelson (Joan) of Auburn, WA. She had seven grandchildren; Sequoyah Gillis and Riley and Mckenzie Scott of Buckley; Spencer, Madison and Jackson Dudley and James Forrester of Buckley and Abigail and Josie Nelson of Auburn. She had two nieces; Jennifer Strapac of Snohomish and Courtney Whitish of Enumclaw, and two nephews; Anders and Conner Bitney of Enumclaw. Also surviving is Ken Nelson of Auburn.

They were married for twenty-eight years and, although they parted ways some years ago, he was her best friend of ffty years and fought her battle with cancer every step of the way. She also had many wonderful cousins. A mention must also be made of her little dog “Bob”, who never left her side.

A celebration of her life is planned for 2pm, Wednesday, July 30th, at Wabash Church in Auburn, located at 18325 S.E. 238th St., where she attended Sunday School as a child, and was married to Ken Nelson in 1971.This will be followed by an old fashioned barbecue at her home. In lieu of flowers, she asked that any remembrances be sent to the Auburn Valley Humane Society at 4920 A St. SE., Auburn or to the Franciscan Hospice at P.O. Box 1502,Tacoma,WA 98401.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
