Auburn’s bloody mystery Police continue search, follow tips REPORTER STAFF

Auburn Police detectives and 15 members of King County’s Search and Rescue Team cleared brush and scoured a field near

the intersection of South 277th Street and 55th Avenue South last Saturday.

But if the search turned up anything, police are keeping mum.

“We are not discussing whether or not the search on 277th and 55th Avenue turned up anything,” Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman said Tuesday afternoon.

“We don’t want the suspect to

know this information.”

Last Saturday’s search was launched by credible tips from citizens about suspicious activity that may be related to the bloody items found on Peasley Canyon Road last week.

City leaders got a look at the baby stage of an alternative to the now-shelved community center project in Les Gove Park at a special meeting of the Auburn City Council Monday evening at Auburn City Hall.

Daryl Faber, director of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation and Kevin Snyder, Community Development and Public Works director, presented the draft concept of a project that calls for the conversion of the existing Parks, Arts and Rec administrative building on the north end of the park into a youth-teen center, and the concurrent development of a separate, two-story community center next to it. The youth center would tie into the recently-built gymnasium to the west.

The two men described preliminary plans for the teen-youth center, to include:

• dedicated hang-out space for kids; • a computer lab for homework help, SAT prep, resumé and job assistance, college and trade school applications, training and more; • shared game space; • a fitness room; • office space for teen staff; • an updating and remodeling of the kitchen to create a teaching kitchen for youth and teen programs, which would also serve the community center as a commercial kitchen option.

The community center draft calls for: • a large, 3-bay community room to accommodate events for about 300 people, addressing the demand for meeting and banquet space.

Along with physical support spaces such as storage and a warming kitchen, the commercial kitchen that is already there would be

Settlement reduces wells violations penalty FOR THE REPORTER

A Seattle construction company will pay a $12,000 penalty for illegally decommissioning groundwater monitoring wells in Kent and Auburn, putting groundwater at risk of contamination from polluted surface water runoff.

Scarsella Brothers Inc. also will require its employees to receive training on well construction laws

under an agreement with the Washington Department of Ecology.

In December 2013, Ecology penalized Scarsella Brothers a total of $36,000 for violating state well construction laws by removing and filling in groundwater monitoring wells in Kent and Auburn.

Scarsella’s workers found the wells while doing excavation work for King County. Their decommissioning of the wells was improperly

done and illegal because they are not licensed as well drillers.

Scarsella appealed the penalty to the state Pollution Control Hearings Board, but the company and Ecology ultimately agreed to resolve the appeal with a settlement agreement that specifies: • Scarsella will pay $12,000 to Ecology immediately; • The company will satisfy $14,400 of the penalty by having

60 employees receive training from Ecology on state well construction regulations; • Ecology will waive the remaining $9,600 of the penalty if the company makes its $12,000 payment within 30 days of the hearings board’s dismissal of the appeal and meets its training obligation within one year of the dismissal.

The popular Art Walk and Wine Tasting event is back for an evening of local art, fine wines and business. Auburn’s historic downtown comes alive from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, with artists displaying and selling their work in Main Street businesses serving as temporary galleries.

The Auburn Wine and Caviar Co. is coordinating the wine tastings. On the day of the event, a walking map, wine tasting tickets, a custom wine glass and an ID check will be available at the information booth at Sound Transit Plaza, 23 A St. SW, and the ADA office.

For more information, visit www.auburnartwalk.com.

Peasley Canyon Road on Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 13, spotted a fire in the woods. He stopped and got out of his car to put it out with an extinguisher when he saw a man next to a dark SUV, burning along the roadside what turned out to be blood-soaked carpeting, towels and flooring.

When the man saw the agent, according to police, he jumped in the SUV and fled westbound.

The agent was unable to read the license plate.

The Washington State Patrol crime lab determined late last week that the blood found on items at the scene is human, according to Auburn Police.

In the meantime, investigators continue to get tips from citizens and to track down viable leads.

Tips have led them to several locations throughout the city and into unincorporated King County.

“There are specific pieces of information that surfaced with both the Peasley Canyon scene and the area at 277th and 55th Avenue that hold credibility, and not what we want the public to know, unless they personally witnessed this activity,” Hirman said.

“We are working diligently to find other evidence and a possible victim.

These efforts have led us to other locations, based on the tips coming in … Red light cameras and traffic ITS cameras have been and continue to be looked at,” Hirman added.

Police ask anyone who saw the dark SUV or who knows anything about the bizarre find to call them at 253-931-3080.

Man pleads not guilty to sex trafficking charges

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

A 33-year-old Auburn man pleaded not guilty Aug. 1 to four federal counts involving the sex trafficking of two female victims, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle.

A federal grand jury in Seattle indicted John Henry Cyprian Jr. in late July.

His trial is in October. The Seattle King County Public Defender’s Office is defending him. At his detention hearing Aug. 5, he was ordered detained, Emily Langlie of the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Monday.

In June the Bellevue Police Department arrested Cyprian Jr., a.k.a. “Lucky,” and booked him into state custody following its investigation into Cyprian’s sex trafficking of two different women, in Western Washington and in Portland, Ore. The grand jury indicted Cyprian on two counts of sex trafficking through force, fraud, and coercion and two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution through coercion and enticement.

The charges are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Police arrested Cyprian at a condominium he was renting in Auburn, but the investigation revealed that between April 2013 and his arrest in June he had rented hotel rooms throughout the greater Seattle area as part of his prostitution scheme.

According to records filed in the case, Cyprian forced the women to work as prostitutes at hotels in SeaTac, Bellevue, Mountlake Terrace, and in Portland. To

advertise the women, he posted ads on Backpage.com and other adult sexual services websites. Cyprian allegedly controlled the women with beatings and threats as he forced them to give him all the money they earned as prostitutes.

“Traffickers prey upon vulnerable women – convincing them that they have nowhere to go, and even less value.

It takes courage to break the bonds an abusive pimp uses to keep his victims under control,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “We will continue to work closely with state prosecutors to ensure that violent sex traffickers cannot prey on the most vulnerable in our communities – whether they are juveniles or adults.”

“This case is yet another example of the Bellevue Police Department working with federal prosecutors to address the issue of human sex trafficking,” said Bellevue Police Chief Jim Montgomery. “We will continue to work hand in hand with our partners, both at the federal level as well as locally, to address this important issue.”

Sex trafficking through force, fraud or coercion is punishable by a mandatory minimum term of 15 years and up to life in prison and at least five years and up to life of supervised release. Transportation for the purpose of prostitution through coercion and enticement is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and up to three years of supervised release.

The Bellevue Police Department investigated the case with help from the Mountlake Terrace Police Department and the FBI. United States Assistant Attorney Kate Crisham is prosecuting the case.

It has been nearly three years since Washington began to build its state-based insurance exchange and profoundly expanded Medicaid.

It has not been an easily-defined road nor a smooth one. Nothing like it had ever been done before, which led to a number of challenges in budgeting, forecasting and other elements prior to the exchange’s launch on Oct. 1, 2013.

Now the exchange, known as the Washington Healthplanfinder (WHPF), has completed the open-enrollment period. The WHPF primarily offered only individual and family coverage, leaving smallbusiness coverage until the next open enrollment later this year.

We’ve learned a great deal and are already making changes for next year.

First, new Medicaid enrollment met expectations. In 2011, the projection was that Washington would see nearly 1.5 million people, new and current, enrolled on expanded Medicaid. During the actual open-enrollment period, however, the state saw more new enrollees than expected, but fewer re-enrolled.

Looking now to the upcoming open enrollment period, we on the WHPF board are still in the planning process. There are several major areas of planning, including Medicaid, the renewal process and expanding the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) statewide.

Like any startup organization, we focused on the core responsibilities of the exchange.

Now the exchange looks to reduce operating costs while improving various aspects of the consumer experience for Medicaid and private insurance enrollees.

In the case of Medicaid, we are looking to change the current approach where enrollees must simply accept the plan assigned to them.

Starting in April of 2015, we hope Medicaid [ more DYER page 6 ]

First she says, “A good portion of our energy comes from other sources that are not fossil fuels (hydroelectric power and wind energy).” If a good portion means 13 percent (7 percent for hydropower and 6 percent for renewables), then I suppose she is correct.

The point about the Keystone pipeline also requires a response. Seventy-five percent of the southern leg is complete, and the northern leg will be finished this year. Ms. Szot says only a handful of jobs for maintenance are involved here.

What she forgets is they are spending $2.3 billion just on the southern leg of the pipeline. That means jobs building pipe, transporting pipe and supplies, laying the route, putting it together, not to mention supplying housing, food, and all the rest along the way. After it is completed, there are tens of thousands of jobs on both ends, as well as in the middle to maintain and keep it flowing. High-paying jobs that we so desperately need.

is about 22 percent. In Washington, that number has approached 30 percent, well above the national average.

High youth joblessness is not unique to America. In June, Pope Francis addressed the issue in a meeting with young people in southeast Italy: “We cannot resign ourselves to losing a whole generation of young people who don’t have the strong dignity of work.”

Recently, the Italian government reported unemployment in the Molise region, site of the Pope’s meeting, was 16.4 percent. But the [ more BRUNELL page 6 ]

Chronic high unemployment leads to civil unrest and rioting. Analysts found the 1972 riots in Liverpool, England were linked to long term unemployment, particularly among young people.

If youth unemployment is a worldwide problem, what’s the answer?

First, parents must encourage their children to stay in school and learn the basics: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Then people need to learn a set of skills to become employable.

Since we all learn in different ways, our schools must be more flexible in providing learning opportunities. For example, many students today want non-traditional forms of education, such as online courses and specialized schools like the Aviation High School in South Seattle. These alternatives pique students’ interest and give them

Jake Hanes, certified public accountant and owner of Action Tax Service in Auburn, recently rubbed shoulders with Gov. Jay Inslee and staff to provide the state with several Jack Hanes business tax-saving strategies, helping both the government and small business owner.

Inslee and his staff are seeking ways to help businesses and collect revenues for the state to help offset deficits, Hanes said. In a series of large forum meetings, Inslee’s team solicited ideas and examined solutions.

Hanes helped provide government leaders with different tax-saving ideas that would also produce revenues for the state.

As the economy continues to rebound, Hanes and other members of the Washington Association of Accountants hope government officials continue to listen and consider changing laws to collect and encourage compliance by business owners, and to help small businesses in the state succeed.

In addition, I am concerned with more than 75 percent of our enrollment work being Medicaid.

The exchange’s funding should be supported more from the Medicaid budget considerations by the legislature, as opposed to requiring the private marketplace to pay the major part of sustainability of the exchange.

Given the relative success of the Washington Healthplanfinder in the first year, I am optimistic that it will succeed in this first renewal year, providing more health care choices for Washington residents.

Improving the transparency of the plans on the exchange is one issue we will be discussing to ensure that Washington residents choose the plan that suits them.

Additionally, we are working to create a viable Small Business Health Options Program, with available issuers and plans. This program provides subsidies in the form of tax credits for eligible small businesses and those who are required to provide health care for their employees.

In preparing for the first renewal period for those who purchased plans on the exchange, we need to improve the way subsidies are calculated using income and family information.

Additionally, we need to improve the information available to those searching for a plan that best fits their health needs. Currently, it can be difficult to find out if a plan covers your medicines, your doctor and other details of the plan. As a result, some found costs were higher and access was

the nation’s lowest jobless rate at 2.6 percent.

The best opportunity for young people to find their first work is a parttime or seasonal job at a local business.

That first job provides the experience they need. There is no substitute for on-the-job training, and there is no more satisfying experience than cashing that first paycheck.

So here is one key recommendation for our elected officials who want to reduce youth unemployment. Remove barriers to employment and reduce costs so employers can offer hire people.

Work provides dignity and hope, a way to lift people out of poverty and despair.

Second, advanced and continuing education must also offer a variety of options. Not every student is interested in or can afford a degree from a four-year university. Many want a skill from a community college, technical institute or a specialized academy such as Vancouver’s Northwest Railroad Institute.

An increasing number of adults would like to earn a college degree, but because they have families and jobs, they can’t take a year or two off to go to a traditional college. An alternative for them is affordable, self-paced degree programs such as WGU-Washington offers.

However, a good education is only part of the answer. In the end, we need to create jobs — something which has been lagging significantly since 2008.

www.auburn-reporter.com A NEIGHBOR who reportedly spotted a fire while taking his garbage out Thursday morning, Aug. 14, is being credited for helping an 89-year-old woman escape from her burning mobile home in north Auburn, the Valley Regional Fire Authority said.

According to witnesses, the neighbor banged on the door of the double-wide mobile home to alert Jo-Ann Adams of the fire, which began around 6:42 a.m. in The River Mobile Estates, 3611 I St. NE. When Adams answered the door, he helped her safely outside, the VRFA reported. The neighbor reportedly saw smoke and flames coming from the home when he was putting his garbage out. The man left The River Mobile Estates campus sometime after helping Adams.

The fire likely began in the carport and extended to the home, according to fire investigators. The exact cause is undetermined at this time, with the fire causing approximately $100,000 in damage. The home is considered a total loss.

Adams is staying with family members.

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] dependence on crazy, fanatical regimes with sketchy human rights and keeps our own energy prices lower. I’m not sure I understand the downside.

I won’t spend much time with her statement that solar energy is cheaper than fossil fuel. Government estimates put solar at 35 percent more expensive than coal, and 96 percent more expensive than natural gas, considering all the variables. Since it is only available about 20 percent of the time, it isn’t a very cost effective means to generate energy.

However, if the deck is stacked in favor of solar, when all the costs and subsidies aren’t considered, then yes, it does get close.

Finally, I’m curious about her statement that she doesn’t need a scientist to tell her that global

warming is real – she can see the effects from her 30 years in the area. To what visible effects are you referring? I’m a native of this area, with almost twice as much time here as you, and I haven’t seen these radical changes to which you allude. Mount Rainier has about as much snow as it always has, we get about the same amount of rain and sun as we’ve always had.

To say that I am “burdening” my grandchildren with a planet that is changing because I’m not convinced that global warming is understood is ludicrous.

If we are burdening our progeny, it is by handing them a $20 trillion deficit, an economy that is so overregulated that it can barely grow, and a lack of good jobs for normal people that aren’t programmers of some new iPhone app.

Giving our country the resources to deal with whatever problems face it in the future will be the key to survival.

I arrived at the corner just across from the Justice Center and met another runner (long after the race was over). As I was telling him about my plight, a small crowd gathered.

There were several folks there attempting to assist me when another runner (also from Auburn) showed up with her husband.

They suggested that they take me to my son’s residence just a few blocks from the start/finish line and this is where my story ends.

I was surely impressed by the several concerned Auburn residents who offered assistance. None of them had any reason other than compassion to help me.

In the meantime, I have some ideas about how to prevent a recurrence, but if one should occur, I hope it will again be in Auburn, where I am confident I will be in good hands.

Thank all of you so much.

to open a retail marijuana store – in accordance with Initiative-502, which in 2012 legalized recreational marijuana in Washington State – within the city of Fife, which has banned all marijuana businesses.

On Monday, the Washington Attorney General’s Office filed a brief with the court.

“This case presents a significant threat to the implementation of Initiative 502,” said Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “My office will continue to vigorously defend I-502 and uphold the will of the voters.”

Fife argues that under I-502, it is not required to allow marijuana businesses, and that if it is so required, federal law, which still lists marijuana as an illegal drug, preempts the initiative.

The AGO intervened in this case to defend I-502 and its proper interpretation, asking the court to “invalidate Fife’s ordinance” because it preempts the state’s authority to set penalties for violations of the controlled substances act.

According to the Revised Code of Washington 69.50.608, “Local laws and ordinances that are inconsistent with the requirements of state law shall not be enacted and are preempted and repealed, regardless of the nature of the code, charter, or home rule status of the city, town, county, or municipality.”

To protect the voter’s will, the ACLU of Washington has also entered the fray, intervening in the case as it has in others filed by marijuana businesses in Chelan

County, Tacoma and the City of Pacific.

“We are intervening in this case to ensure that Washington’s marijuana law goes forward as the voters intended when they adopted it,” said Alison Holcomb, ACLU of Washington criminal justice director and the author of I-502, the state’s marijuana law.

“Federal law does not preempt our state’s marijuana law, nor can individual cities opt out of state law,” Holcomb said.

The Pacific City Council is in the process of deciding whether to allow marijuana businesses or permanently ban them, which would block the efforts of the Downtown Cannabis Company. The Washington State Liquor Control Board granted the business a license to operate and its owners want to open a processing and production facility in the city.

On Monday, James Dusek, the principle for Downtown Cannabis Company, filed a declaration in support of the ACLU’s motion to intervene, writing, “I am very concerned that a ruling by this Court that cities can ban state-licensed marijuana businesses will push the Pacific City Council in the direction of adopting the new draft ban ordinance under consideration...”

The Pierce County Superior Court will hear cross-motions in the MMH, LLC. v. Fife case on Aug. 29.

The Pacific City Council hosts a public hearing regarding potential pot ordinances, including a possible ban, on Sept. 8.

Would your dog benefit from a little self-control?

The “go to your rug” exercise is a great way to give Fido a place to hang out when you’re home but don’t want him under foot.

Some folks use the rug exercise when company comes over or the family is eating dinner. It’s also a great way to dry your dog when it’s been raining outside.

Choose a room where you plan to spend a little time, such as the kitchen or family room. Pick a quiet corner where your dog can see what’s going on. Identify your dog’s spot with a rug, blanket or bed. Place a special chew bone or foodstuffed rubber toy on his rug. For control, do your first few days of training on leash.

Begin with Fido sitting beside you, a few feet from

BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center

Does your dog jump on people? Does your dog run out the door or gate? Replace Fido’s bad behavior with a Sit! With your dog on leash, nicely command your dog to sit, and use your hands to gently help him sit. Hold his collar with one hand and use your other hand to tuck his rear. If you prefer to use food, hold a treat above his head to lure him into a sit. Either way,

make sure he remains sitting until you say, “OK!” Be patient and consistent, and take care not to nag your dog by repeating commands.

When Fido is reliably sitting on command, teach him to sit instead of jumping on people. Ask a friend or family member to calmly help you perfect a sit for greeting.

Practice at the front door, in the yard, on a walk and when you come home from work.

Make sure your helper is calm and quiet, otherwise Fido will get overly excited.

Think of all the times throughout the day when it would be nice to have your dog sit:

The next time your dog displays a behavior you don’t want, replace it with a sit.

Stay close to Fido in case his tries to leave his spot before you give him the “OK!” command. If he moves off his spot, gently put him back and praise him. Keep him there for minute or two and then release him.

Repeat the sequence a few times a day. Before you know it, you’ll be able to increase the time your dog remains on his rug.

When he’s ready, introduce distractions, such as visitors, family meals, etc., but be sure to stay in “training mode” and follow through so Fido remains on his spot.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ CENTER from page 1 ] available for the community center and the youth-teen center; • a lobby lounge to be the main reception area for the community center and the youth/teen center.

During private center rentals, a separate entrance would provide access to the center. This area would be designed to serve all populations for social gatherings, informal activities, people waiting for transportation and registering for classes, activities and rentals; • an outdoor patio area into the park from the multi-purpose rooms; • two multi-use classrooms on the second floor available for rental and accommodating up to 30 people at a time for recreation, education and enrichment classes, birthday parties and senior classes; • office space for Parks, Arts and Recreation staff on the second floor, and offices in the youth/teen center for youth and teens.

Council members listened and later gave City staff permission to proceed with the planning process.

“I am pleased to see us move forward with a youth and teen center,” said

SHOW & SHINE

More than 500 spectators made the trek to Pacific City Park last Saturday to view 123 classic custom hot rods and other vintage vehicles at the 22nd annual Terry Home Show & Shine. Classic cars, motorcycles and trucks competed in 26 trophy categories, and more than $10,000 was raised for Terry Home, a nonprofit charity providing housing for young adult survivors of traumatic brain injuries.

SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

MARY OLSON FARM is looking for volunteers who might enjoy sharing the restored, historic place with others. The White River Valley Museum is recruiting volunteer tour guides in time to register for annual training session on Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to noon. No special skills are required, but volunteers with a knack for public speaking, a love for working with children and an ability to walk on uneven footing are preferred. Each year about 2,500 students tour the award-winning historic farm, where they learn about stream ecology and where their food comes from. The farm is home to seven historic buildings, a 100-plus-year-old orchard, a salmon bearing stream, deeply forested hillsides and meadows cut for hay. The farm’s ponies, cows, chickens, goats and cats are on hand to interact with visitors. If you would like to learn more, please contact Janet Wells, volunteer coordinator at 253804-5010, or jwells@auburnwa.gov by Sept. 19.

Upcoming 2014 Events

Councilman John Holman, noting that there are plenty of grants available for such concerns as anti-gang presentations. “There’s money out there not only for construction but for maintenance and operation.”

Councilwoman Largo Wales said she particularly liked the teen center idea.

She said she hoped the City would work with Communities In Schools of Auburn to provide after-school activities.

Last March, the City Council decided, given that the unknown costs of operating and maintaining the center as it was then designed had the potential to push it over budget, that for the foreseeable future the City would not build it.

After that vote, Mayor Nancy Backus and City staff met often to talk about other ways to use a $3 million state appropriation, which was to have helped the City pay for construction of the $10 million-plus community center. As of today, the money must be committed to the project

by June 30, 2015, or the state takes it back. The City plans, however, to ask state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, to ask the state legislature to grant an extension of the timeline.

Faber said that from the mayor-staff discussions mentioned above, the alternative took shape,

which, with a few compromises, could be built within the maximum $9 million budget. One of those compromises, he said, would be to reduce the size of the center. That is, where the original center had been designed to accommodate 450 people, the new design would accommodate perhaps 100 to 150 fewer people. The exact number won’t be known, however, until planning for the project is more advanced.

Faber said City leaders decided to move the community center from the parcel that had been set aside for it on the site of the old Auburn YMCA to the park’s north end because they wanted to see “more things” for youth and teens.

“We also heard from seniors that they would like to see a fitness component there after seeing one at other senior centers,” Faber said. “And we wanted all the buildings to receive some energy from each other — teens, seniors, and the regular community at the north end of the park, sharing resources.”

Faber noted that the present Parks, Arts and Recreation building was formerly a senior center, and that it is sturdy, with much to offer.

“It has great bones, a commercial kitchen, dividable space for a computer lab. It can be a place for

youth to hang out because there’s no place like that in Auburn,” Faber said.

The plan takes advantage of parking that already exists on the north end of the park, but additional parking, perhaps in the park’s north meadow, would need to be designed and studied.

One benefit of the concept as it now stands, Faber said, would be that the large area once occupied

by ACAP and the YMCA, which was to have served as parking for the nowdefunct center, may “now be master-planned for other parks and recreation, openspace needs.”

That space, and ideas for the Herr properties the City acquired July 7 on the campus’ south end, are to be part of a package that comes before council during the 2015 budget process.

As far as the timelines for construction are concerned, Snyder laid out a schedule he called, “aggressive, but doable.”

“It will have constant momentum around it,” Snyder said. “Things would be happening frequently throughout the year if this were to go forward, with a goal of getting us out to construction by September of 2015 and opening by Kids Day of 2016.”

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

This past week, Longacres Mile winner Chum Salmon was inducted into the Washington Racing Hall of Fame.

A winner of seven stakes races at Longacres, predecessor of Emerald Downs, Chum Salmon is best known for his last-to-first victory in the 1985 running of the Mile, when he came from 15 lengths behind to capture the title for trainer Larry Ross.

“It was kind of cool (to see him inducted),” Ross said. “I think Chum deserved it. He basically got us going in the Northwest. You win the Mile, you get attention.”

Chum Salmon may have gotten him his start in training in the Northwest, but Ross looks to add to his success at Emerald Downs on Sunday with another Mile victory, this time in the 79th edition of the $200,000 Grade III race.

Ross, who trains with his wife, Sharon Ross, looks to fend off the

Leslie Mawing and Stryker Phd race to a first-place finish in the Budweiser Handicap at Emerald Downs. Stryker Phd is 2-0 in stakes races this season. ERIN PALMER, Emerald Downs invaders this weekend with favored Washington-bred Stryker Phd, who finished second in last year’s Mile and recently won the Mt. Rainier Handicap.

“For a horseman in the Northwest, it’s the one everybody wants to win,” Ross said. “It’s not an easy one to win, though.”

Despite a strong field in this year’s race, Ross said he likes his

chances.

“I wouldn’t trade my chances for anyone else’s, no matter who else comes up,” he said. “It’s the Mile, it's the race that everybody wants to win. But I guess our chances are as good as anybody’s.”

Ross got his start in racing in his native Canada, in the town of Hudson, Quebec.

“From about 10 years old, I was

working as a trail guide. People would come out, and we’d take them on horses on trails,” he said.

“We moved out to Hudson, about 40 miles outside Montreal, which was very much an equestrian area.

All the rich Englishmen lived there. They did fox hunts twice a week. So I exercised hunterjumpers.”

After working in the stables of the area’s steeplechase track, Ross began exercising yearlings for a local trainer.

In 1974 he obtained his trainer’s license at Suffolk Downs in East Boston and soon was training at [ more MILE page 13 ]

THE FIELD

“I first got him for a couple races two winters ago,” Ross said. “They sent him to Golden Gates to break his maiden, so I got used to him then. He was young. Then he went back.”

After last winter, the owners asked Ross to take over the training duties.

After finishing second in the Mile last year, Ross looks forward to seeing what his horse can do this year.

“He’s maturing, he’s older now,” Ross said. “He’s doing everything right. He’s a very likable horse. His racing style is similar to Chum Salmon. He doesn’t get as far off the pace as Chum Salmon, he was a dead closer. I think Stryker, if the pace is slow, will be closer, and if it’s fast he’ll be farther back.

He’s a little more versatile that way.”

Regardless of the finish, Ross looks for a good run.

“I just hope it’s a good clean race,” Ross said. “I wish everybody the best of luck, and may the best horse win.

Pennsylvania’s Penn National Race Course. That was where he met his wife Sharon.

“She was in her last year at Western Maryland College, and I was at Penn National Race Course, and some guys came out from Seattle,” Ross said. “They were telling me about Longacres and how nice it was. After we got married, we went camping across Canada for three months, in an old Chevy hippie van. It was fun, great fun.”

The duo arrived just in time to see Longacres wrap up its 1979 season.

“I saw Longacres and I really liked it, it seemed like a promising place,” Ross said.

“But they were already done for the season so we worked on (Barbara and Bill Nelson’s) breeding farm.”

The next season Sharon and Larry Ross began working at Longacres, training at the Renton track until its closure in 1992.

“I worked for Martin Kenney and Sharon worked

Larry and Sharon Ross in the barn with Starbird Road. Larry Ross looks to capture his second Mile title this Sunday with Stryker Phd. COURTESY PHOTO for Craig Roberts then we worked for Marty,” Ross said.

“We talked with several of the clients, and they asked us about taking horses, and we did. One was called Devil Dog, a cool horse but a bit of a problem child. He had a really bad foot, constant quarter cracks, we had to wire it together. But he won a couple races for us.”

The couple caught another

break when their neighbor Jerry Schneider asked them to train Suzanne's Baby.

“It just kind of grew from there, that’s how we ended up getting Chum Salmon, through Jerry,” Ross said.

And the rest is history.

Nowadays Sharon and Larry Ross train anywhere from 20-25 horses, among them 5-year-old gelding Stryker Phd.

NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Walking Routes Available roars through Pacific Raceways In the final results from the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, held Aug. 15-17 at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Chris Demke, Tujunga, Calif., and Doug Gordon, Paso Robles, Calif., took home the wins in Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car, respectively.

Demke worked his way through the field and ran 5.348 seconds at 271.02 mph in his final round victory over Johnny Ahten, Santa Clarita, Calif., who clocked in at 11.602 seconds, 65.58 mph.

Off the line, Ahten was up in smoke, and Demke drove by him to take the win.

It was Demke’s fifth win of the season. He has scored two National and three Regional event wins and looks to continue his success the rest of the year and move towards the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series World Championship.

Gordon faced off against Sean Bellemeur,

Anaheim, Calif., and posted a winning run of 5.602 seconds, 256.11 mph in his ’12 Mustang.

Bellemeur drove to a 5.628 second, 255.24 mph lap for his runner-up finish.

The final round was a rematch between Gordon and Bellemeur from the nationals a few weeks back at Pacific Raceways. Bellemeur had the better light off the line, but Gordon had the better car down track to take the win. Gordon defeated Bellemeur for the second time this year at this track for his second Wally of the year.

Another racer who took home a Wally this weekend in Comp Eliminator was Jeff Lane, North Bend. He posted a winning run of 9.810 seconds, 98.48 mph. He faced off against Adam Bowdish, Vancouver, Wash., who fouled off the line. Lane has had much success running in the Comp Eliminator class in his career and picked up

his 19th win in Division 6 history.

Other racers visiting the winner’s circle this weekend were Rick McKinney, Richmond, B.C., in Super Stock; Dave Jung, Surrey, B.C., in Stock Eliminator; Mike Shannon, Kelowna, B.C., in Super Comp; Rick Cates, Canyon, Texas, in Super Gas; and Jerry Denton, Tempe, Ariz., in Super Street.

In the division’s RH Racecars Top Sportsman class, it was Mike Lucas, Fort St. John, B.C., taking the win while Nick Axtman Jr., Silverdale, won in the division’s Big Rig Rentals Top Dragster series. The Sportsman Motorcycle class presented by Harley-Davidson also competed at this event and taking home the win was Jon Jenkins, Richmond, B.C. Northwest Division racers head to Mission Raceway for their next NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event, Sept. 5-7.

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.
