City’s financial forecast is good BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
City Finance Director Shelley Coleman took to the floor at City Hall on Monday night to present her preliminary 2015-2016 budget
update to the City Council. In 2009, she noted, year one of the Great Recession, the City of Auburn had $8.7 billion in assessed value. As might have been expected, over the next five years its
assessed value continued to drop, so that by its nadir in 2013, it was at $6.9 billion, more than a 20-percent-plus cumulative decline over that span. [ more BUDGET page 3 ]

It’s hard talk, a sensitive conversation and one King County and community leaders welcome. A public forum to discuss county
law enforcement’s relationship with the diverse neighborhoods it serves jammed the Tyee High School cafeteria in SeaTac on Sept. 10. [ more FORUM page 10 ]
The folks at Wesley Homes Lea Hill retirement community broke ground Sept. 10 on a $6.6 million skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, launching a nine-month construction process that should end with an opening day in 2015. Even though the capital campaign to pay for the state-of-the-art center on the Auburn campus is still $70,000 short of the $2 million needed to complete it, and the timelines to finish it are still tethered to
those remaining funds. Still, there was a partylike atmosphere under the hot September sky. “These are dreams that happen because of hardworking people, and people who catch the vision of what we want to have here on Lea Hill,” David Snow, Wesley Homes Foundation director of campaigns, told supporters. “When we first began on Lea Hill, we always knew that we wanted to complete the continuum and build a health center here, and today we’re making that happen.” Upon the project’s completion, the Wesley Homes will be the only [ more CENTER page 3 ]

City hails the work of Brugger, the poet BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
There wasn’t a person at City Hall on the evening of Sept. 11 who did not love Dick Brugger, each for reasons as varied and colorful as the old man himself. Even though they tried to limit their praises of the former Franciscan priest and later founder of Auburn Youth Resources as his 3-year tenure as Auburn’s first poet laureate draws to a close, other stuff kept bubbling up. As it always will, as it just can’t help, whenever Dick Brugger is the subject. Like that certain adjective. “The first time you met Dick, what was the very first word you heard come out of his mouth?” Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus asked the

Something friends. about writing poems “Wicked!” came for City events, she the unified response. told him, something It was a night about doing things to celebrate not for the greater good only the poetry of Brugger of the people of “wicked Dick,” as Auburn.

emergent poets to discover for themselves the power and romance of words, who don’t think they can do it. In a time when the art of poetry is often regarded as self-referential and gooey, Dick Brugger is anything but,” Rommel said. “And he’s more contagious than measles,” Rommel added with a smile. Josh Brugger talked about his dad and his own place in the Bruggerian cosmos, which in addition to his father, the poet, and his little sister, includes his artist mother, Lela. “There are two types of people,” Josh began. “There’s
the artists like my dad, my sister and my mom. And then there’s the other group, and that’s the beautiful subjects,” like himself, he said. … “I have one goal in life. I want people to bring their kids to museums, 300 years from now, because when I was a kid going to museums, I was bored out of my mind. … And I want kids, 100 years from now, to be bored looking at pictures of me.” Then, gripping a framed portrait of himself painted by Jessie, Josh set off at a dash, rounding the refreshment table, to the utter delight of the audience. “I’m also a sculpture,” Josh added after that romp to more laughter, as he circled the table again, this time with a fist wrapped around one of Jessie’s animation models of him. No, Josh said, he doesn’t mind sitting for his sister, or being the subject of his dad’s poetry because, he said, “There’s a chance 100 years from now, some darned kid is going to be bored out of his mind!” “My son, Josh, is ferocious,” Dick Brugger said, as he took his turn at the microphone to respond to all the kind things said about him. Ironically, the man who became Auburn’s first poet laureate once knew nothing about poetry and cared even less, when he, as he described himself then, “an illicit Catholic priest,” first

met his wife, a social worker, for dinner, at the top of the Hyatt hotel in Vancouver, B.C., away from prying eyes and possible scandal. “She said, ‘I’m going to recite some poetry,’” Brugger recalled, “and she did, and she went on and on. And it was beautiful, and all from her head. And she said, ‘Now, why don’t you recite some?’ I said, ‘I don’t know any poetry!’ “I still don’t know too much poetry,” Brugger added, “but I’m the poet laureate of Auburn, and nobody’s going to take that away from me!” He went on to read several poems, including “Sept. 11 Revisited,” a somber piece about the events that had shaken the nation, 13 years
earlier to the day. Finally, he thanked those who had given him the opportunity three years earlier and were there to celebrate his accomplishments. “They named me poet laureate. I didn’t refuse it, and I want to say thank you to the City of Auburn for the graciousness of everybody, and all these people here. I think I know 98 percent of you. It means friends are friends,” he said. It was, however, Lela Brugger, who had the final say. Meaning to invite everybody up to the Brugger home on Lea Hill afterward for fireballs, she invited them for “hot flashes.” She flushed and tried to recover herself, but her words were drowned out by laughter.

By securing 30 percent of the capital expenses from private and public sources, Wesley Homes has been able to leverage otherwise absent dollars to finance the project, officials said. Donations have come largely from individuals, but many businesses and organizations

have greatly contributed, too. The campus may be in Auburn, but, officials say, the new health center will serve seniors throughout the area. Board members project that at least 80 percent of those using the new health and rehab center will be from the surrounding communities, not just Lea Hill campus residents The purpose of the expansion is to become an exemplary, affordable center, fit for the regional senior community.

But things are finally looking up, Coleman said. In fact, 2014 is the first year since 2009 that the City has realized an actual increase in assessed value, an upward tick of 5.5 percent. “We anticipate in our budget talks about a 10-percent increase each year in 2015 and 2016’s assessed value. But I have been hearing that that’s really conservative, and that probably for next year it’s going to be 20 percent,” Coleman said. City leaders expect to have the final numbers from King County by the end of September, and for them to include new construction. The 2015 budget estimates $16.8 million worth of assessed value, about a $1 million increase, owing, again, to new construction. Although in the last year the City levied a property tax of just under $15.8 million, Coleman said, typically it budgets about 1 percent less than that, acknowledging that some property taxes will always be uncollectible. The 2015-16 budget levy estimates about a half a percent less in uncollectible revenues. The preliminary budget for 2015 estimates a property tax levy of about $16.8 million, a $1 million increase over 2014, Coleman said. City leaders propose over the next two years to add six staff members, five for public safety purposes, one to deal with

nuisances such as weed-wild lots. Those positions are as follows: • A new police department record specialist, the first such hire in about 10 years. • A major crimes detective. • A bike officer to patrol downtown. • An IT person, solely dedicated to the police department, to service technology at the East Main Street Police station. • A code enforcement officer to complement the two the City already has. • And an analyst to manage all the City-owned property. “We estimate the new staff will cost about $600,000 a year, and we need to find an ongoing revenue stream to support those positions,” Coleman said. “The budget contemplates adding about $600,000 in our property tax levy to fund those positions. The City does have, at this time about $20 million at the highest allowable levy, so at the end of 2016, there’ll be about $2.8 million remaining of our banked capacity.” To date, the Auburn City Council has met four times with staff and department heads, eight hours in total, to discuss the 2015-2016 biennial budget. They meet again on Sept. 17 and 24. After the City issues its preliminary budget document in October, it will hold a public hearing on Nov. 17, at which time it should adopt the property tax levy. The final budget is to be adopted at the first council meeting in December.

Gov. Jay Inslee talks to Sophia Sanders and Larry Ruffino, laminators and new hires, at Kent’s Hexcel Aerospace plant last week. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
Inslee makes it a point to grow valley business Like his policies or not, Gov. Jay Inslee is gaining credibility and making progress helping many long-term unemployed Washingtonians find work. To illustrate Inslee’s mission – to build and keep business at home – the governor and his team visited the Hexcel Aerospace plant in Kent last Friday. They met employees who have found a new start through a successful workforce initiative, Washington Work Start. Inslee wanted the program put in motion, and he succeeded, scoring a major victory when the Legislature gave it a shot after the last session in Olympia. Work Start taps into the governor’s strategic reserve fund, allowing the state to invest now and prevent the closure and loss of Washington businesses, including those beating in the heart of the Green River Valley. It’s a business-driven, workforce training program designed to provide new and existing employers with flexible, customized training in direct alignment with the state’s business recruitment and expansion efforts. Work Start targets key sectors, such as aerospace, clean technology, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, maritime, forest products, agribusiness, life sciences, information, communications and technology, and locally targeted industries.

Want better schools? Get parents involved Reporter Editor Craig Groshart asks, “Are school failing?” (Auburn Reporter, Aug. 29). Yes they are. They are failing to get the parents involved in their children’s education. According to Randy Dorn’s latest pronouncement, we have about 64 percent of our ninth-graders completing what we refer to as a “high school diploma.” Since there is no specific definition of what is required to achieve this moniker, one can suggest that the number of “graduates” who either have reached college admissions standards or have the skills to enter a living wage job might be significantly lower than 65 percent. Why? Unfortunately, either through ignorance or unwillingness, the home life of many of our children does not include a very high priority for learning. Learning isn’t fun is often heard

Replace the state’s gas tax, but how? The most significant issue the plan raises doesn’t involve concrete, steel rails or bridge trusses, but how the state pays for maintenance, operation and new construction in the coming years. The state’s gas tax, 37.5 cents per gallon, isn’t automatically adjusted for inflation and doesn’t account for the increase in the number of vehicles with improved fuel efficiency.

REPORTER EDITORIAL
Every five years, the Washington State Transportation Commission updates its 20-year plan, a document meant to inform state and local governments’ decisions on transportation spending and related issues. The commission is introducing its 2035 plan at a series of public forums. The draft plan and an opportunity to comment online are also available at wtp2035.com.
international competitors seem to have come to understand the importance of a quality education. Meanwhile, we are watching our flat screens and expecting our schools to be centers of gladiator training and to be fun without being boring. Quadratic equations? Boring and no fun. Fractions? The same. – Charles Hoff
With each passing year, the revenue generated by the gas tax pays for less and less. The transportation commission, in the draft plan, calls for a transition from the gas tax to a road usage charge, basically treating transportation in general and roads in particular as a utility to be paid for based on how much of the service each of us use.
Once again, the animal rights extremists with PETA are attempting to distort Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s record on animal care. Despite PETA’s claims, Ringling Bros. has never been found in violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act. The former employee they site in a recent letter was a witness in a lawsuit animal rights groups brought against the circus – [ more LETTERS page 6 ]
Actually, the commission couches its guidance in squishier language: “The commission recommends that the state continue to evaluate and Royer plan for a possible transition from the gas tax to a road usage charge.” But you get the picture. A subcommittee was more concrete, recommending that such a usage charge be assessed either [ more GAS TAX page 6 ]

[ GAS TAX from page 5 ] by charging a flat fee for an unlimited number of miles each month or year, a permile fee based on a vehicle’s odometer reading, a per-mile fee with mileage determined by a GPS-recording device, or a combination of two or more of those options. Charles Royer, the mayor of Seattle from 1978 to 1989 and current Transportation Commission member, knows that such a transition in funding will require a change in thinking for motorists and legislators. Oregon and California, he noted in a teleconference with The (Everett) Herald editorial board, are ahead of Washington state in terms of raising the issue and beginning work to implement a
workable system. Any system that uses GPS to determine how many miles are driven on state roadways will likely raise privacy concerns among many motorists, Royer acknowledged. And the gas tax, at least for the time being, remains the closet thing we have to a carbon tax, levying a higher tax on those who pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. “The gas tax is no longer a sustainable way to preserve and maintain our transportation system,” Royer said. As a funding source, the gas tax is running on empty. Now’s your chance to weigh in on what replaces it. Reach Jon Bauer, news editor/ content at 425-339-3102, ext. 205652, or jbauer@heraldnet.com.
[ KLAAS from page 5 ] Companies in Kent, Auburn and other neighboring cities are benefitting. The job training program was designed with schools like Green River Community College in mind. "To see this work is exciting," Inslee said while touring Hexcel with state and local leaders. "We have some really incredible people here. … It's a dream come true." Inslee approved Work Start funding to train 150 new employees at Hexcel’s composite manufacturing facility, allow-
planning services, and Public Health will continue to provide Women, Infant and Children and Maternity Support services for the next two years. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has committed $400,000 in 2015 to help keep the White Center clinic open though in a new location and preserve a variety of public health services. Partnerships with neighboring cities and other entities to keep those services available here are very much a possibility for Auburn, with or without King County, said Auburn Mayor

Hexcel Corporation is a leading advanced composites company. It developes, manufactures and markets lightweight, high-performance composites for use in commercial aerospace, space and defense, wind energy and industrial applications. "It was a good investment. … You made my day," Inslee told newly hired workers at Hexcel.
Nancy Backus, who met last week with the interim director for King County Public Health. “They say they have a $30 million shortfall. Something doesn’t make sense. It looks to me that it costs $2 million to operate, and the revenue generated is $5 million or $6 million, so that’s not a business model I understand – that you wouldn’t spend money to make money. We are still looking at that, and we have another meeting on Thursday. We have not given up on any options yet, and in fact, we are looking at other partnerships.”
[ LETTERS from page 5 ] a lawsuit they lost so badly they agreed to pay us over $25 million to settle it. That witness, in particular, was found by the court to have no credibility and was actually paid by animal rights groups and their lawyers for his testimony. Everyone one with Ringling Bros. is very proud of our animal care, and the health and well-being of all our animals can be seen at every show in every city we visit. Rather than take what groups like PETA say at face value, area families can come and see for themselves how all the animals with Ringling Bros. are thriving in our care. – Stephen Payne
Slow ‘em down I would like to rant about the speeding that goes on between B Street and 5th Street Northeast and A Street and 5th. Last time I checked, it wasn’t I-5 or SR 167. We have kids now who are getting on and off buses and people hauling down our residential street just so they can cut their time in half. They have even gone around the buses if they were taking too long. Why can’t we get some four-way stops on 5th, or a few speed bumps, to slow these people down? I’m scared that someone will get hit by these people who don’t know the speed limit. Please, make them slow down. – Kelli Hefner

Auburn students have healthier food choices
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects large numbers of people in King County, but it often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. Now health care providers will be better able to identify and successfully treat people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) in King County, thanks to a $6 million grant recently awarded to Public Health – Seattle & King County. The four-year grant from the federal Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) will improve testing, treatment and cure of people with chronic HCV infection. The grant funds the Hepatitis C Test & Cure Project, which will provide training for clinicians on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of HCV and connect them to specialists. It will also enhance the ability to track patients through better integration of clinical and public health data systems.

Healthy changes to expect this fall in Auburn: • Farm to School – Through Farm to School, Auburn School District is partnering with Kent and Renton School Districts to buy large amounts of produce from local farms. The program is funded through the Community Transformation Grant (CTG) and coordinated by the State Department of Agriculture. • Updated nutrition and physical activity policy – Auburn School District’s Wellness Committee has updated
its nutrition and physical activity policy. The policy was approved in April by the Auburn School Board. • Nutrition standards – Auburn Nutrition Services is working closely with the DECA and the Culinary Arts Program to implement the strong USDA nutrition standards required for all foods sold throughout the school day. • Smart snacks – Find a list of Smart Snacks available at local grocery stores on the Auburn Child Nutrition website (www. auburn.wednet.edu).

Students throughout Auburn and King County have more options for healthy food this school year. From healthier choices in vending machines to more local produce in the lunch line, schools are rapidly becoming better places to nurture learning and good health. The changes are a result of new national nutrition guidelines and local efforts by schools and Public Health – Seattle & King County in the fight against childhood
obesity. About one in five students in King County are overweight or obese, increasing their risk of serious health problems in childhood and into adulthood. “Our partnership with schools is starting to pay off with a recent drop in youth obesity for the first time in King County,” said Patty Hayes, director of Public Health - Seattle & King County. “We know that access to healthy food in schools is not only critical for health but crucial for student learning.”

LIONS SWEEP DISTRICT TRIATHLON The Auburn Mountainview boys and girls aquatic teams swept the top-three places at the ninth annual Auburn School District Aquatic Programs Triathlon last Saturday. Starting off with a brisk bicycle ride from the Auburn Walmart to Veterans Memorial Park, participants ran a course through the park before finishing in the Auburn School District Pool. Winners in the boys competition were seniors Valen Hill, first, Jimmy McNab, second, and freshman Chase Murphy, third. In the girls competition, freshman Amelia Portin was first, with seniors Willa Richmond and Maddie Massagli taking home second and third, respectively.

AUBURN TROJANS • Coach: Shelley Davis, first year • Last year: 1-11 overall • Top returners: Katie Green, senior, middle blocker, 5-foot-8; Kelsie Green, senior, opposite, 5-7; Kianna Ly, junior, libero, 5-5; Simone Liu, junior, outside hitter, 5-6; Alyssa Hinz, junior, middle blocker, 5-8; Celine Liulamega, sophomore, setter, 5-6. • Impact newcomers: Leana Liu, freshman, outside hitter. • Outlook: The Trojans drop to the South Puget Sound League 3A along with Auburn Riverside. Davis works with a pair of returning starters in Ly and Liu. Ly looks to keep the team in the game defensively, with Liu setting the pace offensively at outside hitter. There is plenty of room for improvement, but it will be difficult competition. The new SPSL 3A features top-ranked Auburn Riverside and perennial powerhouses like Auburn Riverside. Key match: Everyone matters for the Trojans, but look for them to try and unseat either of their district rivals – the Ravens (7:15 p.m. Oct. 6 at Auburn Riverside) or the Lions (7:15 p.m., Sept. 24 at Auburn Mountainview).
AUBURN RIVERSIDE RAVENS
Telia Peterson, who takes over the Lions from Claudon, says this year will be no different. “That was the first thing I researched about the team,” Peterson said. “I knew that I would have to keep those expectations going, and that was something I wanted, that challenge. That’s something I want to accomplish. And I want them to compete at a higher level once they get to state.”
• Coach: Christine Leverenz, 20th year • Last year: 11-6 overall. The Ravens went 1-2 and were eliminated at the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 tournament. • Top returners: Carson Heilborn, senior, setter, 6-0; Precious Atafua, senior, outside hitter, 5-11; Kiana Drumheller, junior, outside hitter, 5-11; Roxy King, senior, middle hitter, 5-11; and Clarice Buchanan, sophomore, libero, 5-2. • Impact newcomers: Calley Heilborn, freshman, opposite, 5-9. • Outlook: Having the Ravens drop from 4A this season spells nothing but trouble for the new-look SPSL 3A. In fact, it’s nothing but trouble for the all the 3A teams in the state. The last time they played 3A in the late1990s, the Ravens grabbed second and third at the state tournament. Last year the Ravens were ranked No. 9 before being eliminated in the WCDIII/SW4 districts tournament. The Seattle Times have ranked the Ravens No. 1 in 3A. Auburn Riverside boasts an impressive core of returners, including Heilborn, a two-time All-SPSL North 4A first-teamer and one of the best setters in the state. Add in the offensive firepower and height of the team’s front line, including Atafua (first-team All-SPSL North 4A), Drumheller (honorable mention, All-SPSL 4A North) and King. The team would love nothing better than to deliver a state title as a 20th anniversary present for Leverenz. Big match: The Ravens typically play district rival Auburn Mountainview every season. This season, however, the match means something. Auburn Riverside hosts the Lions at 7:15 p.m. Sept. 22.

Originally from College Station, Texas, Peterson played her prep career for A&M Consolidated High School before heading north to Idaho to play for Boise State University on a volleyball scholarship. After graduating with a teaching degree in 2006, Peterson returned to Texas, this time to Houston, where she was an assistant coach at Wharton Junior College and a head coach and teacher at a local middle school. “(Coaching) was definitely always something I wanted to do,” Peterson said.

I want the girls to all be treated like this is their family. I know with my coaching style I’m happy all the time. I want to keep them motivated, and I feel if I keep my behavior consistent, that will help them. Sometimes you may see me joking with them because I want to keep that positive atmosphere going for them.” Peterson, who teaches special education at Auburn Mountainview, said she is confident she’ll be able to guide the Lions out of the SPSL 3A into districts and beyond. “I definitely feel confident we can achieve going to state again,” she said. “They work really hard and they’re young, and that’s the exciting part. I’ll have the same kids again.”

She reached out to him. He needed a volleyball coach, and I was in the process of moving out in this direction.” Although Peterson didn’t officially move to Washington until midJune, she said she had already flown up to meet the team. “And then all summer they’ve been attending camps and working really hard to get ready for this season,” Peterson said.

of Ferguson and events like Ferguson that happen all across the country, the thought is, ‘Is this the day I’m going to be shot?’” asked Dr. Edward Donalson III, an author, entrepreneur and thought coach who serves the Kingdom Family Worship Center in Kent. “Until we reestablish a connectivity between police and the community – places like churches and community centers, high schools, etc. – we’re always going to have that tension. “… Communities are not convinced that law enforcement is in place to protect and to serve and (how it) relates to people of color.” Residents and law enforcement leaders admit more work needs to be done to build and improve those relationships. Darlene Anthony, of Des Moines, asked what conversations or initiatives are being taken to make law enforcement and minority communities work better together. Urquhart said having an open discussion is an important first step. “I’m here,” Urquhart said. “… I have to wonder, did Ferguson, Missouri ever have a community meeting like this? I doubt it. And you have to wonder, would the
events in Ferguson, Missouri have happened if the police department there had listened to the community? I don’t think so. I don’t think it would have been as bad if they did.”
Work to be done But Urquhart admits his department can improve in many ways, notably working to recruit, train and hire more minority deputies. Officers also need to become more visible, accessible and sensitive to the people they serve, regardless of race, he said. “The biggest mistake, detriment to community policing … was the invention of the patrol car,” Urquhart said. “What my officers do now is drive around in their air-conditioned offices on four wheels … with their cellphones … and computers at their fingertips. They never get out. There is no way to interact with the public. “If I had my druthers, I’d have nothing but beat cops walking the streets like we used to,” he said. “We can’t afford it. That’s why we don’t have it.” The audience also brought up enforcement tactics, including the use of neck restraints, “choke holds” – a deadly police move that the NAACP has condemned

Barbara Grace Robinson Gregory
Barbara was born on December 2, 1924 in Springfield, Mass. and died on September 8, 2014 in Willard, Mo. after a short illness. Her parents were Wilfred Stanley Gallup and Ruth Evelyn (Dansereau) Gallup. She married Earl Sanderson Robinson in 1942. In 1949 they moved to Sumner, Wa. where they lived until 1965, raising two daughters. She was a loving, patient, and devoted stay-at-home mother, later working as a caretaker, and lived her life giving to others. She had a generous, warm spirit and always had a positive word for everyone. Her interests were reading, sewing, nature, crossword puzzles, and birds. She married James Gregory on March 29, 1996 in Auburn,Wa. Her final years were spent at an assisted living facility in Willard, Mo. near her younger daughter. She was preceded in death by her husbands Earl S. Robinson and James Gregory. She is survived by her brother Lester James Gallup and his wife Loretta of New Lebanon, NY, and three nephews Larry, Lance and Lyle Gallup; and her two daughters Bonnie Lee Glover of Willard, Mo. and Candace Lena Berner of Lacey, Wa.

– and concerns about a militarized police force. “The Sheriff ’s Office will no longer train on LVNR (Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint), neck restraints or choke holds,” Urquhart told the audience, reversing the controversial practice the county force has used. Urquhart also added, “We’re not going to let the police department become militarized like Ferguson, Missouri. Simple as that.” Body cams are also a possibility, says King County Councilmember Dave Upthegrove, who hosted the forum. Upthegrove announced that he had introduced legislation last week to begin the process of equipping deputies with body cameras and to develop appropriate privacy policies for their use. County officials also are in the process of replacing Charles Gaither, the first director of King County’s Office of Law Enforcement Oversight (OLEO), who left the job on Sept. 5 after what he describes as “difficult” years. Gaither said it wasn’t until the Sheriff ’s Office implemented a policy to reinstate LVNR training after a 10-year hiatus that he decided to leave his post. Forthcoming changes will help, authorities said, but the reality of the situation remains – how does law enforcement handle the many issues related to race in growing, diversified communities? “How do I deal with a Sikh cab driver who gets killed during a robbery? How do you deal with those communities when there’s language, cultural and ethnic barriers?” said Jim Graddon, recently retired SeaTac police chief who had worked 34 years with the King County Sheriff ’s Office and now serves on the advisory panel to OLEO. “One of our officers was involved in a shooting the night before Ramadan was to begin in a mosque in the City of SeaTac. How do you deal with that? “If you don’t have some element in your back pocket to help you deal with that, you are going to misstep. It’s not a matter of if you’re going to misstep,” Graddon said.

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. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
