What’s in a name? Green River College to drop ‘community’ BY ROSS COYLE rcoyle@kentreporter.com

Green River Community College is dropping the “community” from its name, choosing to follow schools like Highline, South Seattle and Bellevue colleges.

The new name reflects the college’s increased focus on four-year possibilities through three new bachelor’s of applied sciences programs: two in information technology and one in marketing. The three programs are the first four-year programs

that have been offered at Green River ever since it was founded in 1965. Green River President Eileen Ely did not return phone calls for comment on the name change, instead deferring questions to new communications director

Allison Friedly. While there’s no timeline for implementing the name change, Friedly said, the school will work with committees to transition the college over to the new branding. Friedly said that the name change is in line with a host of

other colleges in the country, and that Green River will be the 19th community college in Washington to make the change. According to Friedly, the rebranding effort hopes to lend [ more CHANGE page 5 ]

Let the Olympia money chase begin. Gov. Jay Inslee recently met with Sound Publishing reporters and editors at the Bellevue Reporter office to discuss the executive branch’s 2015-17 budget proposal. Inslee’s office released the budget documents last month, which the Legislature will take up Inslee when the regular session convenes Monday. The coming session is scheduled to end April 27. The governor’s budget document states, “Our private sector is growing and unemployment is at its lowest levels since 2008. State revenue collections are rebounding,

City wanted to celebrate the literary arts and the artists in the community. The specific criteria for the appointment of the poet laureate were based on his or her involvement and commitment to the community, to literary excellence and to the continued pursuit of the craft. During the two-year term, each poet laureate is expected to share his or her love of poetry with the city and create occasional poems for specific civic events. Rommel’s term runs to the end of 2016. In forwarding its recommendation, the Auburn Arts Commission had the following to say about Rommel: “A catalyst for goodwill, the Arts Commission feels that Marjorie Rommel will represent the heart of our community in the honorary role of Poet Laureate. She is a graduate from Pacific Lutheran University (2007) with an MFA degree in Creative Writing/Poetry and her work has appeared in more than a hundred commercial and literary publications. She has deep connections with Auburn and is an active participant in many literary groups and non-profit organizations, both for the support of local poets as well as outreach to student groups. Her poetry is out of her own experiences and reflects her own spirit of generosity and emphasis on community.”

Rommel has been writing prose and poetry ever since she was little Marjorie Baker, growing up in the Auburn of the 1940s and ’50s. Today the list of her published works, literary activities and honors is its own page turner, a wake-up call to all literary shirkers, wienies, posers and backbenchers to get up and start writing. Rommel, now in her 70s, relies on a walker to get around these days, but the eyes are as bright as ever, the mind nimble as a cat, the humor radiant and infectious. But as to what’s expected of her, Rommel said, she’s still waiting to find out. “I don’t know what the responsibilities are just yet, I haven’t had a chance to talk to anybody,” Rommel said. “I’m not that good at writing on the fly.” What really worries her – being expected to fill the beloved and personable set of shoes Brugger left behind. “Couldn’t someone else have stepped in? I would far rather have seen Dick Brugger in there again. He’s not only funny, but he’s sometimes very, very serious, though he balances them. He’s also very much a common man. Everybody knows him. “All that aside, it really is an honor, it’s just that this is totally new territory to me,” Rommel said. The City Council created Auburn’s first honorary position of poet laureate in 2012, following up on a resident’s suggestion. By

THE PETRI DISH

Honey bees to mopeds: Much at stake for Legislature With the start of another year comes the promise of another session of the state Legislature and the prospect — no, make that a guarantee — of more laws. A lot more laws. Remember 2014 and seemingly nothing but irreconcilable political differences between the Democrat-run House and the Republicancontrolled Senate? The two chambers managed to agree on 229 bills to send to Gov. Jay Inslee. And remember how Inslee proclaimed it would be a “hold steady” year? He signed 225 of those bills into law. Already, nearly 100 pieces of legislation are drafted and in the queue for consideration when the 2015 session gets started on Monday. Here’s a sample of what may engage, and distract, lawmakers this year. Schools rule: Republicans are trying again to set aside money for elementary and secondary schools before giving any to the rest of state government. House Bill 1001 is better known as the ‘Fund Education First” bill. High bar for taxes: It’s back, the idea of amending the state constitution to require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to raise taxes. It was a law but the state Supreme Court tossed it out. Inserting it in the constitution might do the trick, but that’s unlikely to happen this year. Abortion rights: The Senate Democratic Caucus is united behind a bill to require coverage for abortion services in employerprovided health plans. Senate Bill 5026, with its 75-word title, is an upgraded version of the Reproductive Parity Act that’s failed before. Prime-time for pot’s cousin: With a legal marijuana industry in place, there’s a bipartisan push to do the same for hemp. Jerry Cornfield

Motorists, please beware of pedestrians

Letters policy

Reading in last week’s Auburn Reporter about the multiple pedestrian injuries, I realized how amazing it is that there are as few such injuries and deaths as there are. Having commuted on foot to my office for nearly 28 years now, not a day goes by that my right of way as a pedestrian is not violated multiple times by motorists. Despite the fact that pedestrians have the right of way at marked and unmarked intersections (RCW 46.61.235), I and my fellow pedestrians routinely have to wait for a break in traffic to cross, as long lines of cars, including Auburn Police cars and Valley Regional Fire Authority vehicles, pass by. The fortunate exception is at school crossings, especially those with flashing lights. To the very, very few who actually do stop and yield to

The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length.

Thankfully, most drivers are more tolerant than the one who recently laid on the horn and flipped me off because, less than a week after a recent knee surgery, I was unable to cross the unmarked intersection quickly enough to avoid forcing him to slow somewhat. Drivers regularly violate pedestrian right of way in

marked intersections controlled by traffic lights as well, turning right or left across occupied crosswalks in front of and behind pedestrians in violation of the law. I guess as long as there’s no body lying in the street, it’s all OK. Yet in my nearly 28 years of commuting on foot in Auburn, not once have I seen a motorist be ticketed for violating a pedestrian’s right of way. Studies have demonstrated that intersections that prevent motorists from turning left with a red arrow when pedestrians have the walk light, reduce the number of injuries and deaths. Yet at many intersections, Auburn has recently introduced the yellow left turn arrows that follow the green arrow. These are lit at the same time that the walk light is lit. Yes, yellow means to exercise caution; however, the fact that our state pretends that pedestrians don’t actually have the right of way means drivers have learned to ignore [ more LETTERS page 4 ]

MY TURN

State needs to invest responsibly in our road infrastructure Editor’s note: James MacIsaac was working on this piece at the time of his death on Dec. 6. The Eastside Transportation Association made the final edits.

Construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges should be the central focus of the state transportation funding package in 2015

without being held hostage to increasing Sound Transit’s light rail taxes. The Puget Sound region’s fragile highway infrastructure desperately needs significant investments now to protect what we have and to expand what we need.

“Will the 2015 state legislative session make an impact?”

No new road funding has been approved since 2005. The region’s crumbling roadways are at risk if the neglect continues. Current freeway capacity can barely carry the existing traffic demand, much less accommodate future growth. These urban roadways that carry the majority of our freight and commuters must be expanded to reduce

congestion and carbon emissions. Safety and congestion relieving road projects must be the state’s and region’s top transportation funding priority. Buses and vanpools also would benefit from these road projects, as they carry 90 percent of all regional transit trips on roads. [ more MY TURN page 4 ]

Despite the degradation of our roads, and frustration of the vast majority of the region’s commuters suffering from severe highway congestion, Sound Transit seeks an additional tax authority from the 2015 Legislature to fund its $15 billion Stage 3 light rail system. Why now? Sound Transit has not even finished building the light rail portion of Sound Move Stage 1 authorized by voters over 18 years ago. Stage 1 light rail has already cost taxpayers more than double the initial estimate, is years behind schedule and moves just over one-third of the 107,000 riders promised. Worse, ST 2 taxes have been collected since 2008, its construction has just started and it won’t be fully operational until at least 2023. This begs the question: “Why does Sound Transit’s board want such a massive increase in sales, property and motor vehicle excise taxes now?”

www.auburn-reporter.com Existing transit taxes are more than enough, since Sound Transit consumes nearly a third of all transportation revenues in our region. Light rail only carries about 0.23 percent (less than one-quarter of 1 percent) of the Puget Sound’s person trips today. Proponents of the light rail system expansion claim “If we build it, they will come!” However, this is not the case. PSRC data forecasts light rail ridership will be about 10 percent of daily transit trips, which is only 4.3 percent of the total daily person trips, by 2040. Peak period transit trips are forecast to increase to 5.4 percent. Additionally, only one-fifth of light rail riders are new to using transit, while the rest have simply moved from buses to rail. Sound Transit is asking for $15 billion to shift rail ridership from 0.23 percent to a paltry 0.54 percent (about one-half of

1 percent) of regional trips. Any new transportation taxes should focus on the 99½ percent of the region’s trips that will be on the roads. The road system’s major funding sources, gas taxes and weight fees aren’t enough to maintain, preserve or build new projects. Time is overdue for funding the state’s critical road needs. The I-405 and I-5 freeways have several costly hours of miserable congestion every weekday, exemplifying immense strains on our aging and seismically vulnerable road system. WSDOT has a long list of capacity projects that need funding, including two more lanes on I-405, completing SR 520 in Seattle, critical SR 509 and SR 167 extensions for access to SeaTac Airport and the Port of Tacoma and the US 2 trestle-widening in Everett, among others. WSDOT also has a vast number of preserva-

tion projects including reconstruction of the I-5 pavement through Seattle, pavement overlays and bridges all over the state and the court order to replace culverts for fish. Washington needs responsible investments in road infrastructure for the vast majority of us. Meanwhile, Sound Transit seeks to draw money away from protecting safety, commerce and environmental enhancements in the Puget Sound to support a tiny minority of regional travelers. This imbalance must end in 2015. James W. MacIsaac, P.E., was chair elect and a member of the Eastside Transportation Association’s board of directors and research committee.

Beal Gaither Rockey

Beal Gaither Rockey, age 72 of Auburn, Washington passed away early December 26, 2014 surrounded by his family. Beal was born August 28, 1942 in Kelso, Washington. He grew up in Kalama, Washington, until moving to Alaska at the age of nine in 1951. Beal moved back to Washington in 1953 and resided in Auburn for the remainder of his life. He graduated from Auburn High School in 1961 then attended Western and Lower Columbia Community College earning his AA degree.While attending college, Beal also worked with his dad in the family business known as “Glenn Rockey Construction” in Auburn, taking over the business after his father retired and for the next 30 years, worked in the greater Auburn area as a private contractor and operating engineer. Beal married his high school sweetheart in 1969, and subsequently had a full house with 6 children and many assorted dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and even a horse. He loved his family and cherished his friends, spending the rest of his life nurturing them all. Beal was active with coaching youth programs and supporting Auburn athletics, even after his own children had grown. His philosophy was not about the wins and losses but about mentoring and supporting each child as if they were his own, even giving shelter when needed. Beal had an amazing heart and ability to relate to people, to put himself in others shoes. He made you feel important and significant, that you mattered, and for this he was loved. He loved all sporting events and was a long time Husky and Seahawks season ticket holder. He enjoyed camping, as long as it included the Marriott. In retirement he could be found driving his grandchildren to Starbucks and school every morning, taking them to dentist appointments, taking and picking up his son Chad from work at Auburn Subaru, often bringing his dogs Casey or Cody along for the ride. Beal is survived by his wife Jan, sisters Elmira Ann and Glennel, sons Chad Rockey and Tom Rockey, daughters Shelly Griffin, Shannan Bartlett (Chuck), Carey Rockey and Sarah Rockey, plus 8 grandchildren, 11 nieces and nephews and two beloved Labrador retrievers. A memorial service in celebration of Beal’s life will be held at noon on January 10, 2015 at Messiah Lutheran Church, 410 H Street Northeast, Auburn, WA 98002. 1214538

[ LETTERS from page 3 ] pedestrians. We are invisible. Fortunately, or not, most pedestrians seem to realize that despite the law, they don’t really have the right of way. So, when I read about all of the hand wringing by authorities about what can be done after a particularly gruesome pedestrian death, usually a child, an elderly person or multiple deaths, “Maybe we should put a flashing light there,” it’s no mystery to me. Maybe we could enforce the law, until drivers realize that yes, pedestrians do have the right of way at all intersections. Maybe our policy makers should be willing to require motorists to sit at traffic lights a few more seconds, prioritizing pedestrian safety with lights that protect them from motorists that are turning and “just didn’t see them” because they weren’t lit up like a Christmas tree. Changes like these will need to start at city halls around the state. The laws are already on the books, they’re just ignored by everyone. Until then, we will all share some of the blame for many of the pedestrian injuries and deaths and for the fact that many of the people who need to walk for their health, especially the elderly, just won’t feel safe doing so. In closing, if you walk, know anyone who walks or would like to walk, please get in the habit of being aware of the pedestrians out there. Their lives are in your hands.

Little help from homeowners association May I have a say about our neighborhood here at Lakeland Hills? It’s time again to pay my yearly fee of $310 to the homeowners association in my Lakeland Hills neighborhood. And if you’re late with your payment, there’s a credit card-like penalty of $35. I really resent paying this yearly fee to this HOA. I think it’s a rip-off. And that’s simply because the association hasn’t really done anything for us, homeowners. I’ve lived here in this neighborhood for over a decade, yet I haven’t seen any improvement done to our neighborhood. This neighborhood is supposed to be an “upgraded” community, yet the roads here are beginning to look like the gutted streets of the City of Auburn, especially at the entrance area from A street as you go up the hill. Lots of holes there. I know those streets belong to the City, but couldn’t the HOA at least bring something to the attention of the city leaders about “fixing” those holes? The last time I had personal contact with the staff of our HOA was to bring to their attention about “debris” from a neighbor getting blown into my front yard, driveway and front patio. The community association office manager for HOA said, “I don’t want to hear what you have to say.” Then one of her assistants added that if I have “neighbor problems,” then I should move out of the neighborhood and live in an area where I wouldn’t have any “neighbors around me.” Thank you for hearing what I have to say about my neighborhood. – Jesse Jose

Their bill, HB 1051, would turn judicial contests into partisan races and have justices state their party preference on the ballot. Free the foe-less: Voters could soon face fewer decisions in primaries. Today, all partisan offices appear on the ballot regardless of the number of candidates. HB 1023 says no primary would be held if only one candidate files for the position. That could free up space on the ballot. It also could enable incumbent lawmakers to spend less time campaigning and more time dreaming up legislation to introduce when next year rolls around.

The Auburn Mountainview boys basketball team ran their record to a perfect 5-0 in its South Puget Sound League 3A on Tuesday with a 73-44 win against league foe Lakes. The Lions, 9-1 overall, were led by junior Ryan Lacey’s game-high 15 points. Victor Daggs added 13 points and Tristan Miguel chipped in with 12 points. Auburn Mountainview is currently tied for first-place in the SPSL 3A with Peninsula (5-0, 7-1), whom the Lions face at 7 p.m. today in Gig Harbor.

Trojan heavyweights dominate REPORTER STAFF

Auburn heavyweight seniors Mario Luevano and Jacob Apodaca captured class titles at the All-South Puget Sound League wrestling showdown at Auburn High School on Saturday. Luevano defeated Kentwood’s Kyle Capperauld, 7-2, for the 220-pound win, while Apodaca stopped Kentridge’s J.T. Meier, 4-1, for the 285-pound crown. Also for Auburn, junior Drew Aplin dropped a 3-0 decision to Tahoma’s Nick Whitehead for the 120-pound final. Trojan senior Sam Lindsey defeated Curtis’ Jonathan Bridgeman, 6-1, to secure third place at 182 pounds. Freshman Cole Washburn placed

fourth at 160 pounds for the Trojans. Also placing for Auburn were: senior Balteer Rana, sixth at 120 pounds; junior Sjon Snitily, sixth at 138; junior Jarett Bishop, eighth at 152; senior Bailey Minnar, sixth at 170; and junior Kyle Gutherie, sixth at 195. For Auburn Mountainview, Dylan Foley took a 7-6 decision against Spanaway Lake’s Angel Coria for third place at 132 pounds. Lion sophomore Balteer Rana was fourth in the 120-pound class, and junior Joey Santos finished eighth at 138 pounds. Auburn Riverside senior John Coon finished eighth in the 285-pound division. Tahoma won the event for the sixth year in a row, with 229 points. Auburn was second with 192, and Auburn

Mountainview finished 22nd with 50.5. Auburn Riverside was 26th in the 30 team field with 29.5 points.

Auburn-area girls compete

Auburn Riverside’s Jessica Packer and Auburn’s Patricia Deleon came away from Saturday’s All-SPSL girls tournament at Puyallup’s Rogers High School with runner-up placings. In the 130-pound class, Deleon fell 5-2 to Kent-Meridian’s Xochithl Suarez in a 5-2 decision. At 145 pounds, Packer was defeated by Spanaway Lake’s Racquel Gray with a pin at 3 minutes, 9 seconds. Auburn was 10th with 40 points, Auburn Riverside 15th with 21 points and Auburn Mountainview 19th with nine points.

Outlook: The Lions return three lady grapplers with on-mat experience this year. Bowles said he expects Evelyn Aquilar, who competed at regionals last season, and Jasmin Aquilar, a fourth-year wrestler returning from a broken arm sustained last season, to make it to this year’s regional tourney. Hardin is a first-year wrestler who looks to garner experience quickly, and Le is back for her second-year on the mat. Key dates: The Lions host the Auburn Mountainview boys and girls tournament on Jan. 17 at the high school. The girls follow that up with the Jan. 21 Girls Duals at Bonney Lake High School. Girls duals typically are a multi-team event, to combat low numbers and provide as many matches as possible for the wrestlers. Typically, six or seven teams compete.

Auburn Riverside Coach: Shawn Martinson, second-year (5 years as co-boys head coach) Wrestlers: Two returners. [ more GIRLS page 7 ]

AYSA Auburn Blast U12 win Recreation Cup The Auburn Youth Soccer Association (AYSA) Auburn Blast Girls U12 are the Washington Recreational Cup winners for 2014. The Blast, made up of players from Auburn, Covington, Bonney Lake and Puyallup, defeated the Sammamish Dynamite in penalty kicks, capping a 210-1 season. After battling to a 1-1 tie in regulation, the Blast overcame the Dynamite 3-1 in penalty kicks. “It was interesting this

Outlook: On the mat Packer, a state-alternate last year, looks to set the tone for Chamberlain and newcomer Helmbrecht. “We have been hit with the injury bug this season, but are looking to build for the end of the year tournaments,”Martinson said.“Our strongest wrestler, Jessica, started wrestling last season and finished very well.”The Ravens will have to fight off some tough competition in the SPSL 3A to snag one of just three berths into the sub-regional tourney.

year to see the 12-year-old girls work so hard,” said head coach Bob Kickner. “They wanted to win, and they wanted to work.” Kickner said the core of the squad has played together for the past four years. Last season the team was one win shy of the state title, losing 3-1 to Kirkland in the championship U11 game. “This year we went from playing mod soccer to our first year of full-sized fields and goals,” Kickner said. “It’s the first year of 11-on-11 soccer. Although it’s technically recreation league soccer, the girls and the parents have forged a hybrid approach to

competitiveness. “It’s a nice blend between social and competitive,” Kickner said. “The families have established that it’s okay to be competitive and have fun.” Four players from the Blast – Grace Edvalds, Angelique Cyr, Keilani Martin and Kimberly Ramirez – were named to the all-tournament team. The Blast are: Abby Glynn; Charlotte Baryo; Dayna Kickner; Peyton Anderson; Devyn Nelson; Lexi Alaalatoa; Cyr; Ramirez; Brielle Sherling; Mary Meines; Martin; Becca Eskers; Sidney Pitzl; Edvalds; Casandra Decker; and Brace Anderson.

wrestling tournament. Also back is Barnett, who participated at Mat Classic last season.“Auburn girls continue to build girls wrestling in Auburn,”Opel said.“The team has really come together. They have been working hard, and I expect us to be the most conditioned and disciplined wrestlers every time we step on the mat. I see a lot of growth in the returners and the younger wrestlers. I would expect Jazmine, Makayla and Patricia to make a run at state. I also see huge improvements in Anevay, and I think she may also push through to the Dome. Overall, it’s an extremely positive season so far with a busy schedule.”

Auburn Coach: Erick Opel, five years. Wrestlers: Four returners. Jazmine Sanchellanes, 135, senior; Makayla Barnett, 235, junior; Cinthia Carmona, 155, junior; Patricia Deleon, 130, sophomore; Anevay Avillia, 125, sophomore; R.J.

[ BUDGET from page 1 ] too – after several years of steady declines, revenue projections have increased in each of the past four quarters.” Inslee tempered that good news by noting the economy is rebounding at a “much slower pace than after previous recessions. The latest projections for the 2015–17 biennium indicate revenue growth will remain modest for the foreseeable future.” Looming over the budget and both the executive and legislative governing branches is the September contempt ruling by the state Supreme Court. The nine judges unanimously ruled the state has failed to fulfill its Constitutional duty to fund education. The constitutional clause cited by the court in the 2012 McCleary v. Washington is: “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.” The Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara A. Madsen wrote,”Sanctions and other remedial measures are held in abeyance,” to allow the Legislature to comply by the end

of the 2015 session. The governor’s document states: “The state is under court order to live up to its Constitutional obligation to adequately fund basic education.” Inslee’s budget allots $2.3 billion to its education plan. The budget cites funding for reduced class sizes and makes the statement his plan “fully funds basic education a full year ahead of schedule.” There is also a freeze on resident undergraduate higher education tuition. A statement released by state Superintendent Randy Dorn on Dec. 17 said, “Gov. Jay Inslee’s education budget proposal falls far short of what is needed to comply with the orders issued by the Supreme Court in McCleary v. Washington. If adopted, it would move this state one step closer to a constitutional crisis.” When asked about the court’s ruling and Dorn’s statement Thursday, Inslee said his budget was not written to satisfy “nine people in black robes” but for the children of the state. Inslee also said Dorn has come up with no revenue plans to “fund education for children.” The governor said he did not expect the court’s ruling to be appealed to

the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals because there is not a federal issue. Inslee said he practiced law for 20 years and thought if it was appealed it would be “highly unlikely” the Ninth Circuit would rule on the issue. Raising revenues is one of the critical underpinnings of the governor’s plan, and he spent much of the time Thursday advocating for his budget revenue goals. Inslee said the state cannot, “cut our way out to fund education…. Eventually we will follow the arithmetic. We can’t go backwards.” The budget calls for a new capital gains tax on the sale of stocks, bonds and other assets “to increase the share of state taxes paid by our state’s wealthiest taxpayers. The state would apply a 7 percent tax to capital gains earnings above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for joint filers, starting in the second year of the biennium.” Other revenue items: a tax of 50 cents per pack of cigarettes; and taxing ecigarettes and vapor products, raising an estimated $56 million. A market-based carbon pollution reduction plan is estimated to raise $380 million in new revenue.
