Pacific council weighs Reigning Miss Auburn future of pot biz in city reflects on past year

BY SHAWN SKAGER

sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Pacific City Council got an earful from speakers on both sides of the marijuana debate Tuesday at a hearing conducted to solicit input from the public before the council votes on the future of marijuana businesses inside the city.

At the Jan. 26 regular council meeting, Pacific’s leaders expect to vote on extending an interim zoning ordinance that temporarily bans any marijuana business in the

city. At that meeting, the council may also choose from five ordinances that would govern how the city handles marijuana businesses, with options ranging from licensing and allowing recreational processing and shops, banning just medical, or banning pot businesses altogether.

One ordinances allows for the processing, production and sales of recreational marijuana, another allows for only production and processing

[ REEFER from page 1 ] while banning sales, one bans all recreational sales while allowing production and processing, and a third allows recreational entirely.

A fourth ordinance would ban medical marijuana and the fifth ordinance would extend interim zoning regulations that currently ban any marijuana businesses.

The current ban expires on Jan. 28.

At Monday’s public hearing, the council heard opinions from residents about which ordinance the City should choose, as well as from nonresidents whose communities have been affected by marijuana.

Pastor Dr. Steve Koppleman from the Highland Park Baptist Church in West Seattle cautioned Pacific councilpersons about the potential pitfalls of retail marijuana stores.

“I’m here to talk to you about the marijuana issue because they set up a [recreational marijuana] shop within 30 feet of my church,” Koppleman said.

“Let me tell you what’s going on,” he said. “First of all, we have a huge traffic problem, evidently this drug, this marijuana thing is skyrocketing. So the

streets around my church are blocked from early morning until late at night.”

Koppleman also claimed that he had been informed that the store’s clientele were buying and then selling the marijuana on the street.

“Another problem is the people are buying are reselling it in front of the church,” he said. “People have told me that people who are selling it bought it at the shop.”

Koppleman said he planned to share his views with the Washington State Legislature in Olympia.

New Hope Lutheran Church in Pacific’s Pastor, Mark Gause, also urged the City not to allow any marijuana businesses.

“We’re not ready,” he said.

Gause continued: “The laws, rules, procedures about marijuana in this state are in a state of constant change,” he said.

“We don’t know what will be required or permitted tomorrow. We don’t have what it takes to get ready.

As community leaders, it’s on us to speak out on the welfare of our entire community.”

Pacific resident DuWayne Gratz saw the issue differently, however, and he urged city leaders not to

close the door on medical marijuana.

“Pot is going to happen in this town, and it’s happening no matter what you do tonight,” Gratz said. “We know anybody can get a hold of it if they really want to, and they have forever.

As far as individual access from younger people, I don’t know if this increases it, in my opinion. I would just vote for [allowing] it.”

Also coming out in favor of allowing recreational marijuana was Enumclaw resident Ian Wilson, an applicant for a Tier 1 production license.

“I am for allowing it with Ordinance 1861,” he said.

Wilson added: “As far as being sold, nobody is buying from a recreational store, getting charged 25 percent tax, and trying to sell it on the black market,” he said. “That’s not realistic. In the medical industry I could see that happening.”

Recreational sales are taxed by the state while medical marijuana is unregulated.

Pacific has four medical marijuana businesses in operation.

All five ordinances come before the council at next Tuesday’s meeting.

Downtown Association to host Chocolate Walk Jan. 31

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Chocolate, lots of chocolate, chocolate in myriad, wondrous forms.

Oh, and wine. Wonderful wine.

To go with that chocolate.

Yeah? Then you sure don’t want to miss the Auburn Downtown Association’s first-ever Chocolate Walk through the downtown, from 4 to 7 p.m., Jan. 31.

“Why not chocolate,” Sonia Kessler, owner of Zola’s Café, responded to a reporter’s goofy question. “Who doesn’t love chocolate? Chocolate’s divine.”

Indeed, the event’s all about

bringing the world’s favorite confection to life and providing fun for all ages at 16 venues, with Sox Art creation stations for kiddoes, and six wine-tasting venues for grown ups.

Sip vintages provided by Devorah Creek, Cedar River Cellars and Mt. St. Helens, just to name a few of the vintners.

Mouth toothsome chocolate morsels provided by downtown Gosanko Chocolate Arts, Jason’s Coffee Shop & Bakery, the Rainbow Café and Zola’s Café.

Oh, and the Muckleshoot Casino Pastry Team plans to host a tasting spot where members will demonstrate dessert artistry.

“We’re doing hot, dark choco-

late,” Kessler said. “Jason’s Coffee Shop is doing little chocolate cupcakes.”

Tickets for chocolate only are $10 pre-event and $15 on the day of the event. Wine and chocolate tastes are $20 preevent and $25 on the day of the event. Tickets are available ahead of time at four places: • Gosney Motor Parts, 220 Auburn Way N. • Rottles Clothing & Shoes, 226 E. Main St. • Zola’s Café: 402 E. Main St., Suite 120, and • Valley Buick GMC Quick Lube, 3014 Auburn Way N. Attendees set forth on their delicious walkabout from the

Auburn Downtown Association office at 402 E Main ST, Suite 150 in downtown Auburn, where event maps, event passports and information will be for the taking. A passport encourages those attending to visit all venues, even test their luck in a drawing.

Auburn Valley Buick GMC plans to host an event shuttle in downtown along the event route and has included a free car detail in the passport drawings, and discounts on oil changes.

Proceeds will help to revitalize downtown Auburn, supporting event costs, façade improvements and community celebrations.

City ponders new water shutoff notification rules

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Too much work, and it eats up too much time.

To be specific, going out and placing notices of approaching water service termination on doors of homes whose residents haven’t paid their utility charges.

These are among the reasons the City of Auburn cited Monday night for potential rule changes related to notifying property owners their water service is about to be turned off and placing liens on their property.

In the main, the new rules extend the time water service customers have to pay up, as follows:

• Payment for water service charges would be due and payable to the City’s finance department office 20 days after the billing date on the bill, not 15 days, which is now the case.

• Twenty-five days after the billing date. the City would add a late fee to the billing, and 42 days after the billing date, the City would mail a shut-off notice to a premise’s address and to the owner’s address on file with the City.

• The proposed ordinance would change the placement of physical door tags to mailed notification from the time of billing to shut off from 43 to 49 days.

• Commercial and multi-family-service-class accounts will continue to receive at least a two-hour warning prior to service interruption.

Councilmembers had a few questions about the proposed ordinance, which will appear before them at their next meeting for final action.

“When we say ‘owner,’ that’s not necessarily the occupant, so the address to which you mail this, will it go to the occupant for or the owner, who may be in Phoenix. Ariz?” asked Councilman Rich Wagner.

“It goes to both,” responded Shelley Coleman, director of Finance for the

City of Auburn. “It goes to the occupant, the address of the property… and to the owner of record.”

The owner of the property is responsible for paying, Coleman said, but if the City has a form on file that allows it to bill the tenant, it will do that. The City, however, will bill the owner any time the tenant is delinquent, Coleman said.

“Increasing the time period to allow for mail delivery, is that the reason 20 to 25 days, and the shutoff from 43 to 49 days, is that to accommodate the US mail?” asked Councilwoman Largo Wales.

“Yes, and state law,” Coleman answered.

House Cleaners Needed!

The Auburn Downtown Association has brought events to downtown Auburn for more than 27 years. Among other downtown events the ADA and its director, Laura Westergard, host, the Auburn Art Walks in May and September and the City of Auburn birthday celebration on June 6. The ADA works with the City of Auburn, the Auburn-Area Chamber of Commerce and other organizations to enrich the city’s center.

“We need the community to come out and support this,” Kessler said.

Please visit www.auburndt. org for information on upcoming events.

Kent and Auburn settle on boundaries for South 277th St. REPORTER STAFF

For years King County and the cities of Auburn and Kent have struggled with issues coordinating maintenance responsibilities, permitting requirements and development review on the South 277 Street project because parts of it are within parts of varying jurisdictions.

And for years, the two cities have dealt with the headaches together.

Now, at long last, comes a solution that should make everyone’s lives a bit easier.

On Monday the Auburn City Council passed a resolution, which, coupled with a pending sister resolution from the City of Kent, will bring the South 277th Street corridor project and the South 277th Street corridor wholly into Auburn’s jurisdiction.

“This is something that’s been in the works for quite a while,” said City Councilman Wayne Osborne …

Dancing is Guyette’s passion. She began to dance when she was 3, and has since blossomed into a gifted, accomplished performer on the national level.

“It’s exciting. It’s not something I’ve given up yet,” Guyette said. “(I enjoy) the artistry of the movement, how you can convey any kind of emotion or passion. ... You’re able to compete and explore, and everyone’s view on dancing is different.

That’s real exciting.”

Guyette will welcome two new queens on one new stage this weekend. She offers some advice to those competing.

“Don’t let the nerves get to you. Don’t be afraid to show the judges why you are here,

“This will bring the whole roadway within the city of Auburn so they can do all the work on the project.”

On Sept. 2, 2014, the Auburn City Council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Nancy Backus to execute an agreement with the City of Kent.

Not only was that agreement to define where the future jurisdictional boundaries and maintenance responsibilities of the two Cities along S. 277th Street would be, it was to define the future intent for the L Street Northeast signal and coordination of the corridor project.

“I think that our citizens will be excited to see that we’re moving forward with this project,” said Councilwoman Largo Wales.

“We need to have more complete access roads up on Lea Hill., and this is an alternative to Lea Hill Road. This will make the project doable after we get the funding.” why you deserve the job,” she said.

The job has been rewarding for Guyette.

“It gave me the opportunity that will take me further in life,” she said. “I know I have learned a lot through this program and a lot through who I am ... in growing this past year as Miss Auburn. This will open a lot of doors for me in the future.” ==== Admission is $40 for a two-night ticket (online only), $25 at the door each night.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“The laws, rules, procedures about marijuana in this state are in a state of constant change. We don’t know what will be required or permitted tomorrow.”– Pastor Mark Gause of New Hope Lutheran Church urging the Pacific Council to use caution on allowing the sale of marijuana in the city

Hawks help restore calm from chaos

By the time Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson threw his fourth interception of the game, the 12th Man jersey had been in a heap on the floor for at least 10 minutes.

On one end of the couch sat my 17-year-old son, Conner, eyes fastened to the screen, arms crossed, looking for all the world like he’d just lost his best friend.

I suppose in a way it looked to him like that was about to happen.

On the screen, the scoreboard was telling an ugly tale, plunging daggers deep into the hearts of the Seahawk faithful.

Green Bay 19, Seattle 7.

It appeared that Seattle’s magic had run out, just shy of Super Bowl XLIX in the National Football Conference, and Conner was feeling deflated at the prospect of the defending champs’ season ending anywhere short of another title. I was as well.

For the Skager clan, football, and more specifically, the Seahawks, are more than just a game, they are a passion.

For Conner, the emotions tied into this team run deep, encompassing his entire life. From the frustration of the late 1990s and early 2000s to the “we’re almost there” glory days of the Mike Holmgren era and into the present halcyon days of the franchise, we lived and died by the yearly fate of the team. In fact, the thread runs so deep that while my father was fighting esophageal cancer – which took his life on May 13, 2011 – it seemed the only good days during his several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment were Sundays, when we’d gather to watch the Hawks.

My dad was there when we watched the infamous “Beast-Quake” run during the team’s 41-36 Wild Card playoff win against the defending champion New Orleans Saints.

With all that weight occupying space in our family’s emotional consciousness, alongside our love for the Hawks, it’s no wonder Conner was feeling so down. To tell the truth, I was, too.

I must confess that I have not always been the most shining example of sports-watching etiquette to my son. I’m a wear-my-emotions-on-my-sleeve kind of guy. When I’m happy or upset, people around me usually know about it. Not much seething under the surface emotionally, it’s usually Shawn Skager

Congressman Reichert supports me by voting for a 40-hour, full-time work week; he supports me by supporting the very people, our veterans, who stand on the front line, protecting us from those who would do us harm; he supports me by voting for the construction of the Keystone Pipeline, bringing much needed jobs to our chugging economy.

The “Never say die” Seahawks in overtime made one of their greatest runs.

The Ryan - Gillian TD was a surprise and it kept our spirits alive.

Sherman’s repeat interception led the team’s drive to give Green Bay a warm

Alaska took delivery of nine Boeing 737-900ERs (extended range) aircraft in 2013 and Boeing has firm commitments from Alaska for another 64 aircraft and options for 58 more in 2014 and beyond. Its 140 planes average less than 10 years old.

On the other hand, Delta, whose 780 aircraft are twice as old as Alaska’s, has begun replacing its fleet. In 2011, it ordered 100 Boeing 737-900s but recently, Delta began buying Airbus 321s, the Boeing counterpart that will be assembled in Mobile, Ala. So what’s the point?

The good news is the outlook for Boeing’s 737 is rosy. People like flying Boeing airplanes and one 737 takes off or lands every two seconds. The 737 accounts for 31 percent of all com-

www.auburn-reporter.com case with other more established production lines, particularly the 737. Whether we like it or not, airlines, like passengers, have choices.

Competitors to Seattle-based Boeing and Alaska Airlines continue to nip at their heels.

Operating costs and customer service matter more than ever. Fortunately, Boeing and Alaska have been prudent in both categories.

The future stakes are high for Washington. Boeing expects its customers to buy 36,770 new airplanes over the next two decades – a market worth $5.2 trillion, which means lots of work for the local companies that supply parts.

With that much at stake, other states will come calling on Alaska and Boeing to entice them to move. Washington’s elected officials must be vigilant to prevent that.

To meet demand, Boeing announced it would increase production in its 737 program to 52 airplanes per month in 2018. Boeing currently produces 42 on the Renton assembly line.

The challenging news is the price tag of aircraft matters for airlines where profits often rise or sink with the cost of fuel.

For example, Delta is trying to decide whether to buy Boeing 777s or Airbus 330s.

The list price for a Boeing 777-300ER is $320.2 million and the comparable Airbus A330-300 costs $245.6 million. At those prices, if Delta decided to buy 50 of the 777-300ERs, the tab would be just over $16 billion.

Any scheduling disruptions will have a large impact because the competition is keen. Strikes and delays in 787 production were costly to Boeing, but the 787’s unique technology edge saved the program. There was nothing like it on the market.

However, that is not the

team had me dreading the next few minutes, and trying to muscle down a growing anxiety inside.

Normally, my dad was the voice of reason in such circumstances, lending a calming influence to counterbalance both of our emotional outbursts. Since his death, we’ve been pretty lucky because the Seahawks have seen such success we haven’t had to deal with a soul-crushing loss like the one we were sure we were witnessing. Help with fending off the potential outburst, however, came not from my dad this time, instead it came from the very team struggling to come back.

Watching Russell Wilson calmly lead the team to a seven-play, 69-yard scoring drive with less than three minutes left in the game was just the ticket for me.

Watching the Hawks come up with an onside kick and capitalize on it with a 24yard TD run by Lynch had the effect of pouring water on the anxiety conflagration burning in my soul.

all right out there in the air.

In fact, when the Seahawks lost 27-33 in overtime to the Packers in the 2003 Wild Card Playoffs (the game where then-Hawkquarterback Matt Hasselbeck opened his big mouth, promising the team would score on the first OT possession), my beloved Cortez Kennedy jersey ended up swinging from my living room chandelier where I’d tossed it in disgust.

Apparently, that’s a trait I’ve passed on to my son.

The aforementioned jersey lying on the floor in a heap was his. He had deposited it there in a fit of rage after a Seahawk offensive miscue.

With things looking to keep going south for the team, I anticipated more histrionics from the boy. The thought of dealing with an emotionallywrecked teenager, distraught at watching his team’s season come to an end, and of coping with my own frayed emotions tied in with the

Although the team was playing with passion and emotion, there wasn’t a lot of anxiety to the way they were going about their business, despite facing an uphill climb to victory.

Soon, I found my anxiety loosening up, replaced with a confident assurance that everything was going to be alright.

And with this newfound calmness filling me, I was able to provide a better example to my son, whose attitude swiftly changed once Wilson found Luke Willson in the end zone for a twopoint conversion.

By the time the teams met at the 50-yard line for the overtime coin toss, every negative emotion tied into this game for me was replaced with a calmness that spread from me to Conner.

It’s nice to see that, even at my advanced age of 45, I’m still able to glean a lesson or two from sports.

Now I’ve just got to keep it together for one more game this season.

Go Hawks!

Lake Tapps improvements and overhaul ahead of schedule FOR THE REPORTER

Cascade Water Alliance has announced that its major rehabilitation activities along the entire White River Lake Tapps project to update, improve and enhance the system are under way,

and ahead of schedule.

This past summer, Cascade began overhauling the entire system, eventually bringing the lake down to elevation 500 feet above sea level to perform critical tasks, including sediment re-

moval from the flowline, replacing and refurbishing the headgates, replacing the last remaining sections of the timber flume (2,300 feet) with a concrete flume, Dike 3 seismic improvements and stopping seepage,

inspecting and repairing the tunnel intake, tunnel, forebay, and penstocks, and inspecting and repairing the powerhouse relief valves. An assessment is being done of the lower conveyance system that brings water from

the lake to the powerhouse below on East Valley Highway and back into the White River.

Once that assessment is complete, necessary improvements can be effected. The lake will then be refilled in time for summer recreation activities.

Cascade officials say they appreciate the patience and understanding of the community during this time. With the progress Cascade is making, it appears that the lake may be refilled on a fairly normal schedule this spring. Overall, this effort should result in a healthier lake that can be operated more efficiently and safely, and can be refilled with more reliability each spring.

Normal refill is between 541.5 and 543 feet. Given these improvements, Lake Tapps should have stable recreational levels for the next 30 years.

At times during the improvement project,

the lake bed is visible, and in many instances accessible. Cascade owns the lake bed and while the public is allowed to recreate on the waters of Lake Tapps, it is not allowed on the lake bed for any reason. Anyone on the lake bed is trespassing. Access to the lake bed on foot, with all-terrain and other vehicles, is strictly prohibited. Pierce County Sheriff and Bonney Lake Police officers will patrol to enforce against trespassing. The lake bed may have areas of instability, stumps and other protrusions, and soft areas where individuals and vehicles may be injured or become stuck.

Parents should advise their children to stay out of the lake bed. In an emergency, call 911.

Take a hike! Enjoying the trails with your pooch

BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center

Living in the Northwest means long, grey winters.

But that’s no excuse to stay indoors, especially if you own a dog. For some, a hike is a multi-mile adventure in the woods.

For others, it’s a walk around a local lake. No matter your preference, here are some tips for including your favorite

canine companion.

Begin with a physical evaluation of your dog, which may include an appointment with your vet.

Make your first few walks short and easy, especially if your dog is older, overweight or simply out of shape. As your walks become longer and more challenging, include warm-up and cool-down routines for your dog.

Evaluate your dog’s

walking/hiking equipment. Make sure your dog is wearing the proper collar(s) and/or harness with current identification, rabies and license tags. A microchipped dog is easier to return to its owner. Check out some of the great new GPS tracking devices made specifically for dogs. Many of them are in the hundred dollar price range.

Make sure your leash is strong and working properly. Take a spare leash, a long line or a retractable leash to use in quieter or more open areas. You might get a pack for your dog so he can carry his own water, a collapsible bowl, some treats, a retrieve toy and those always-necessary poop bags.

On narrow, heavily traveled trails, keep your

dog walking next to your leg on a 4-to-6-foot leash.

Use a different command, and teach your dog to walk on either your right or left side so it’s easy to move your dog back and forth as needed. If you see an out-of-control dog approaching, step off the trail and have your well-mannered dog hold a sit stay until the chaos passes.

Where the trail widens,

or you stop to enjoy a meadow, switch your dog to a long line or retractable leash for a potty break, a drink of water and a short game of retrieve. Use care and caution in areas that allow off-leash dog play. Even the best trained dogs can be tempted to chase wildlife or be lured into a dangerous area. Always keep your dog in sight and under control.

Tips on keeping your dog calm during veterinarian visits

If your dog gets a little stressed going to the vet, here are some things you

can do to make the experience more pleasant: Many waiting rooms are relatively small, filled with anxiety and nervous energy.

Your dog will take his lead

from you and your demeanor, so be sure to remain calm. Calm body language includes deep breathing, slow speech patterns and movements. Make sure

Auburn big men, Apodaca and Luevano, ready for tourneys

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Coming into this season, the Auburn Trojan wrestling squad was chock-full of talented wrestlers.

Picked the second best 3A team in the state by washingtonwrestlingreport.net’s preseason ranking, the expectation for Troy wrestling is high.

For the team’s top heavyweights, 220-pound senior Mario Luevano and 285-pound senior Jacob Apodaca, the bar is especially high.

Last season Apodaca finished fifth at Mat Classic in 4A at 285.

For Luevano, last year’s postseason was a bit more rocky.

A sure bet to move on to Mat Classic out of the regional tourney, Luevano suffered a high sprain during a match, ending his season shy of the state championships.

“It felt pretty bad,” he said. “At the time it was hard to deal with. I could’t deal with it, I was bawling. I had to regain myself. I just spent a lot of time by myself, getting it together.”

Coming up just short of the state meet, Luevano said, drove him

Auburn heavyweights Mario Luevano and Jacob Apodaca are poised to help the Trojan wrestling squad make a splash at the Washington State Mat Classic XXVII wrestling championships. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter during the offseason.

“I set the goal of being a hard worker and a state champ, one of the best wrestlers there,” Luevano said.

Apodaca’s goal is just as lofty.

“I want to be a state champ and beat some big-time names,” Apodaca said. “Like Tate Orndorff [top-ranked grappler from Univer-

sity].”

Apodaca and Luevano say their daily workouts against each other help them in their quests.

“We’re wrestling partners, so we always wrestle against each other,” Luevano said. “He’s good, so it’s hard to beat Jacob.

But it makes us better.

“Apart from just being strong, period, he’s got good hips,” Luevano said.

“He’s good at defending and takedowns. He’s good at bottom, too, and can just slip out. You won’t even be expecting it, and he’ll come at you.”

“Mario scrambles a lot better than most heavyweights,” Apodaca added.

“He keeps really good head position and gets out from the bottom just like that.”

Both wrestlers have

benefitted and grown from challenging each other daily in the Trojan wrestling room, said Auburn coach Dennis Herren.

“We knew they would be both be horses this year, but even I could not have predicted what good scramblers they would become,” Herren said. “They both simply refuse to concede points to opponents. Mario dominates both the tie up and the mat game.

He has terrific balance and a powerful center of gravity. “Jacob puts unrelenting pressure on his opponent and controls the tempo, whistle to whistle.

Herren said he’s also impressed by the duos work ethic.

“Usually big guys are known for gasping and walking during team sprints,” he said. These two are near the front of the pack during the most painstaking moments of team conditioning. They push one another day in and day out. As a result they have the ability to turn it up in double and triple overtime and they both step on the mat with the special confidence of [ more WRESTLING page 10 ]

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.

Avian-themed art roosts at White River Valley Museum A variety of renowned bird species endeared to avian aficionados and casual nature lovers calls the Pacific Northwest home.

And if you prefer staying indoors to admire the feathered beauties, Auburn’s White River Valley Museum is just the place for you.

Its latest exhibit, “Of a Feather: Artists, Birds and the Northwest,” which opened at the museum on Jan. 14, occupies one room but threatens to burst the walls with 26 works of art from 16 Northwest-grown artists.

The intimate gallery is an exemplary space to showcase the work of exclusively Pacific Northwest artistry united by a common theme, said Patricia Cosgrove, director of the White River Valley Museum.

“I’d like to position the museum midway between Tacoma and Seattle as a go-to place for fine arts and heritage learning,” Cosgrove said.

The “Of a Feather” installation should hold the interest of advanced art enthusiasts and anyone new to the museum or to the art world, Cosgrove said.

Guest Curator Kenneth Greg Watson, a seasoned character in the local museum world for the past 30 years, assembled most of the exhibit, which is comprised of items borrowed from local galleries and artists.

In addition to teaching classes for the Auburn School District and Muckleshoot Tribal College, Watson is responsible for seven WRVM exhibits in the past 15 years.

"Nihon/WA: Japanese Heritage, Washington Artists,” an exploration of Japanese artistry from the Puget Sound Region, ran in the spring and summer of 2013.

Watson described three themes he sees at work within “Of a Feather”: birds as subjects that inspire admiration and reflect the beauty of the natural; birds as a metaphor for the human longing for freedom; and birds as a symbol of spiritual connection with the metaphysical world.

The exhibit symbolizes how humans often project their emotional selves onto birds and other creatures to reconnect with nature. Birds are the best, “active agents for self-reminding,” Watson says. “[They] can represent stand-ins for ourselves and

“Great Raven Crosses” by Hib Sabin is among several avian-themed pieces at the White River Valley Musuem. EMILY MUIRHEAD, Reporter our aspirations.”

Either clearly depicted or more abstract, these themes overlap in each of the bird-themed works of art. The variety of mediums employed includes paper mache, stone sculpture, feathers, jewelry, polymer clay, wood carving and even a t-shirt with a Coast Salishstyled Seahawks logo - the last one in stock from Seattle’s Stonington Gallery, Watson says. Puyallup Tribe member Shaun Peterson designed the shirt, which was selected as an example of artwork from Native American tribes of the Seattle-Tacoma region.

“It’s important to recognize and admire what we have

here,” Watson said. “I think that the endangerment of regionalism goes hand in hand with needing to honor cultural diversity.”

Watson said that a large majority of the Native

that small coffee cup placed in the forested background of the piece. She said the positive intent in the original giving of the gift cards informs and inspires her work, also.

“All these cards were given in joy, thanks, or positive emotions,” Bowers said. “It’s fun to imagine these occasions.”

The exhibit offers work from the 1950s to the present day, and organizers hope it inspires a feeling of connectedness with nature and the life around us in the great Pacific Northwest.

“Of a Feather” ends June 7, 2015. Museum admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children and seniors.

Admission is free every first Thursday and third Sunday of the month.

American art to which local people are exposed comes from tribes as far away as 100 miles. He wants to bring more local influence to the museums’ patrons, exposing them to the wonderful, culturally-saturated art closer to home.

Another piece titled, “Heron on Conner Creek”, a mosaic-style depiction of a blue heron standing in water and reeds, was made entirely from upcycled Starbucks gift cards by Auburn artist Mary Ellen Bowers.

Bowers said she realized the artistic potential in repurposing pieces of plastic that are meant to be disposable but that actually stay around forever. She enjoys hiding traces of their former purpose within her artwork, like
