tavern killings due back in King County

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter

The man King County Prosecutors charged last week with two of the three killings at the Sports Page Tavern in Auburn in 2013 will soon be on his way back to stand trial.

“He waived extradition proceedings,” Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s office, said Monday of 29-year-old Cleanthony Jimerson, who waits in a Texas jail.

Arrangements are being made to have him returned to King County, he added.

Last week the King County Prosecutor’s office formally charged Jimerson with two counts of seconddegree murder for the deaths of Nicholas Lindsay, 24 and Lorenzo Duncan, 23, and, as a convicted felon at the time of the shootings, with one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Also killed in the early morning melee was Antuan Greer, 21. But according to the affidavit for determination of probable cause, the document in which Auburn Police lay out their case against Jimerson, a stray [ more JIMERSON page 7 ]

Gov. Inslee presents Gift of Life Award to Auburn family STAFF REPORTS

Gov. Jay Inslee honored the family of Rachel Givens, of Auburn, with The Gift of Life Award at an April 16 ceremony in the Capitol Dome.

Givens was one of 137 donors from the state honored in Olympia. Inslee honored each of the donors by reading their names next to a tributary vase of roses with messages from loved ones attached.

April is Donate Life Month.

“Organ, eye and tissue donation is something personally close to my life, and I am thankful every day that someone chose the Gift of Life when it came to my son,” Inslee said. “I am truly honored to be able to give this award to the family members of these generous Washingtonians.”

Inslee also presented a floral portrait, or floragraph, of Rachel to the Givens family.

The floragraph, which the family decorated with Rachel’s likeness, rode on the Donate Life Float on New Year’s Day in the Pasadena (Calif.) Rose Parade.

Rachel Lucy Givens was a sports star of court and field at Auburn Riverside High School. She returned home to teach at the Muckleshoot Tribal School, where she was a member, a para-educator and a coach.

A hit-and-run driver’s car struck Rachel as

Special honor: Gov. Jay Inslee, far left, presents a floragraph of Rachel Givens to her family during a Gift of Life Award ceremony in the Capitol Dome on April 16. Rachel Givens, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2013, donated her organs to help save the lives of others. COURTESY PHOTO, Cate Oliver she crossed the East Valley Highway in Sumner on Oct. 7, 2013. She was transported to Tacoma General Hospital in critical condition and died two days later. She was 23.

The driver of the vehicle – a small dark sedan or sports car heading north on East Valley Highway – still hasn’t stepped forward, nor has anyone turned him or her in.

Laura Givens said she doesn’t hold a grudge toward the unknown driver, and she doesn’t need to blame anyone for her daughter’s death.

“I don’t need that. That person lives with what she or he has done ... every day they have to live with what happened,” Givens said. “I

have no hate toward them because you can’t hate.”

It’s a lesson she learned from Rachel.

Rachel saved five lives through organ donation and helped countless others through the donation of her tissues and corneas, according to LifeCenter Northwest.

“Rachel’s giving nature really defined her life,” said Kevin O’Connor, CEO of LifeCenter Northwest. “The generosity exhibited in her life continues on through her organ, tissue and cornea donation. We are ever so grateful for Rachel’s gifts.”

Help Auburn celebrate Earth Day and participate in one of Auburn’s largest volunteer efforts.

Longhorn BBQ becomes golf course’s new concessionaire

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The National Arbor Day Foundation recognizes Auburn as a Tree City USA, which honors communities that effectively manage their urban forest and meet Tree City USA standards.

As part of Auburn’s Tree City USA designation, the City of Auburn Planning Department manages community grants that encourage citizens to apply for tree plantings in residential and commercial neighborhoods. In exchange for financial assistance, groups must commit to planting, watering and maintaining the trees.

For additional information about the grants, call the planning department at 253-931-3090.

A new restaurant concessionaire gets cooking May 1 at the Auburn Golf Course.

And on that day, the eatery, formerly known as Copper Falls, gets a new name – Bogey’s Public House.

Auburn City Council members on Monday night approved with Longhorn Barbecue Outpost, Inc., a seven-year contract, which goes into effect May 1. The concessionaire has operated for a month at the golf course under a temporary agreement.

“I am looking forward to great opportunities out at the golf course, which is already up and running under a temporary agreement.

This will remove the temporary agreement and put a contract in place facilitating opportunities for renewal,” said Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus.

Visitors to Bogey’s will find new carpeting and a

PLANTING PARTY Sunshine and warm weather greeted City and community leaders celebrating Arbor Day April 16 at Les Gove Park.

City officials, along with volunteers from the Auburn Garden Club, Auburn Tree Board, Auburn Park Board, representatives from the state Department of Natural Resources and the Washington Community Forestry Council planted a Stewartia tree as part of the Arbor Day commemoration.

The Auburn Garden Club donated the tree.

Mayor Nancy Backus also proclaimed April 16 as Arbor Day in Auburn, encouraging citizens to support efforts to protect trees and woodlands and to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being of present and future generations.

“She made (the father and daughter) take hundreds of strikes with her fists, belts and electrical cords to protect the youngest children from being beaten,” the memorandum states, adding that, “she warned them that things would get worse for them and their siblings if they reported the abuse to anyone.”

According to court records, “The cycle of violence and fear led to lies and cover ups” that shielded Esquivel from scrutiny for almost two years.

“They either said they were hurt on accident or that some other unknown suspect hurt them or hired thugs at the direction of (the father’s) ex-wife or the daughter’s ex-boyfriend,” the memorandum states.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“They’re the heroes in this. They’ve contributed over $12 million in purses since they bought the land. They’ve invested and are going to invest more to enhance the experience here.” – Phil Zeigler, president of Muckleshoot Tribe-owned Emerald Downs, LLC

THE PETRI DISH

Presidential primary on the way out, for now You know the quadrennial quandary in this state about how to make the presidential primary meaningful?

There’s an answer for 2016: It won’t be, so it’s going to be canceled.

That will mean the vast majority of Washington’s 3.9 million registered voters won’t have a hand in narrowing the field of presidential candidates. On the bright side, canceling the primary will save taxpayers $11.5 million.

You can thank the state Democratic Party for clarifying the options and freeing up those millions of dollars for other uses.

On April 18, its leaders gathered in Pasco and decided to rely solely on precinct caucuses to apportion delegates to the national convention, where the party’s nominee for the Oval Office will be chosen.

That’s no surprise. Democrats cherish the caucus process to bring their truly faithful together.

“It encourages more active participation, with Democrats across the state showing up to caucuses and talking with their friends and neighbors about our presidential candidates,” state party chairman Jaxon Ravens said in a statement.

But Secretary of State Kim Wyman did try to persuade them otherwise.

Wyman, the state’s chief election officer, wrote party members a letter April 15 asking them to allot a portion of delegates based on primary results, a practice that the Democratic Party follows in more than 30 other states.

She said that if Democrats could find a way to do that, she’d get lawmakers to move up the date of the primary and make sure the Democratic and Republican parties got the names of every one who voted for their respective candidates.

“Our goals with this proposal are to engage as many voters across the state in the selection of the presidential nominees as possible, make the results of a presidential primary Jerry Cornfield

Fake trees? Let’s put the money in our streets I also live in Lakeland Hills for over a decade now. And I want to say that I totally agree with the letter, “Fake Trees for real ones?” of David Alexander (Auburn Reporter, April 17).

As he said, “Why not just leave the real trees, if the point is to give homeowners something nice to look at?” As he also said, those homeowners knew there was a water tank there when they bought their houses. They chose to live there.

And really, would painted trees on the water tank instead of real trees around it improve the scenario in that area of Lakeland Hills?

Austerity economics This theory says when times are bad, the solution is to cut spending dramatically.

The trouble is that these cuts have hurt basics that citizens need: schools, colleges, health care and highways.

The inheritance tax affects about 5,000 people nationwide. It is assessed on the very rich, and the first $5.4 billion is tax exempt. That’s right. If you are leaving less than $5.4 billion, there is no tax.

But Congressman Dave Reichert and the Republican house have voted to repeal it because it is too big a burden.

How do they intend to recover that revenue? They want to [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

If you look at history, austerity only leads to more austerity.

Instead of endless cuts, FDR helped get us out of the Great Depression by putting millions of people to work building parks, colleges, dams and bridges. We’re using those things today.

meaningful and respect the political parties’ rights of association in the process,” she wrote.

Wyman, a Republican, made the same pitch to her own party, but it wasn’t a hard sell. The GOP had already pledged to allocate half its delegates in that manner.

In getting Democrats on board, too, Wyman wanted to give meaning to a primary inspired by voters and created by lawmakers in 1989. The problem is the political parties aren’t bound by primary results, making it an expensive poll – one that was canceled in 2004 and 2012.

This year, Wyman crafted legislation that covered the offer she made the two parties. And she said that, absent their agreement, there’s no point in holding a presidential primary.

“I can’t support $11.5 million being spent on a beauty contest that means nothing to the parties,” Wyman said Monday in a public hearing on the bill

In reality, voodoo economics only padded the pockets of the Donald Trumps of the world while pushing more of the tax burden on average families.

Here are the facts: the wealthiest 400 families and biggest corporate giants are sitting on trillions of dollars, much of it overseas. They aren’t spending it to create jobs.

It’s time we put a stake in the heart of voodoo economics, once and for all, because it’s only hurt America.

Middle-class economics Listen to real economists, not politicians on television, and they’ll agree on certain basic facts: • 70 percent of our economy is based on consumer spending.

• That spending comes from the middle class.

• If average families can’t buy washing machines, pickup trucks and homes, our economy crashes.

City of Auburn 2015

AUBURN COMMUNITY

I say it’s time to give middle-class economics a shot.

We’ve given tax break after tax break to billionaires and they haven’t spent it to stimulate the economy. The jobs don’t trickle down. It’s a fantasy, because people who already own five mansions and a fleet of cars don’t have an urgent need to buy more things.

They’re just as likely to stash that money in stocks or in overseas, tax-free accounts.

Put more money into the pockets of the middle class, though, and they’ll spend it locally.

That’s why I’m supporting ideas that will grow our economy and give hardworking people a better shot at the American Dream.

Nobody who works full-time should be in poverty or getting food stamps. A higher minimum wage means taxpayers don’t have to spend as much on those things because people can stand on their own two feet.

After years of neglect, our country is falling apart. We need to put people back to work building things. Highways and bridges, schools and parks.

For too long, politicians have delayed

transportation and construction projects.

There are still too many men and women in hard hats who are out of work. Putting them back on the job will not only create jobs and help our local economy, it will build a better Washington for our kids and grandkids.

Finally, it’s time to raise our minimum wage to $12 an hour and give people time off from work when they are sick. Both of these measures have passed out of the House of Representatives, and I am proud to have voted for them. Unfortunately, these important bills that help hard-working Americans are stuck in the Senate. You should call your senator and find out why.

This won’t be easy. But nothing worth doing is easy.

Let’s breathe new life into the idea that the American Dream should be within reach of anybody who’s willing to study hard, work hard and follow the rules.

Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, the committee chairman, proposed changes Monday to require both parties to allot at least 75 percent of their delegates based on the primary results. It was a somewhat cynical move, given his party’s decision days earlier.

“I would like to hold out hope they would come to the decision that people who are disenfranchised by the caucus, who work on Saturdays, people who have children and cannot make the caucus, should still be able to vote and help select the most important person in the known universe,” Hunter said.

Lawmakers must still pass a bill to formally cancel the 2016 primary.

Then it will be another four years before they face this quandary again.

www.auburn-reporter.com the less pricey alternative at the north end, adjacent to the activities center – a community and youth center to serve the generations.

At a recent study session, City Councilmembers got an update from Stan Lokting, principal of ARC Architects, whose firm is designing the $9 million Auburn Community and Youth Center, and from assistant City Engineer Jacob Sweeting.

“We are approaching the 60-percent design stage, which brings us close to actually submitting for building permits,” Sweeting said.

“The plan is still on schedule. We will be out to bid this summer, construction starts this August, and the center will be open next June.

“Everything is tracking on budget, coming in under $9 million,” Sweeting added.

The $9 million budget breaks down into a $3 million appropriation from the state Legislature and $6 million in City funds. The $3 million appropriation has to be committed to the project by June 30, or the state takes it back.

Lokting said the design team has worked hard to stay true to the City’s original ideas, notably that the center should fit in well with the existing buildings on the Les Gove Campus, in particular with the gymnasium, which was built only a few years ago.

He went on to cite another important principle.

fresh paint job, but no structural changes.

According to the new contract, beginning May 1 Longhorn Barbecue Outpost begins paying the City $5,000 in monthly concession fees. By May 1, 2017 the fees will be $6,000.

According to the contract, either party can give 90 days notice to terminate the contract, without

Room to roam Design drawings show a total of 21,000 square feet of space devoted to educational, cultural and social activities, offering broad views on Les Gove Park.

Taking up 7,300 square feet, the youth center will be created out of the existing Parks, Arts and Recreation administration building. It will offer an arts classroom; a computer lab; youth center staff offices; room for structured programs like dancing and spoken-word events; a dedicated computer lab; an art room; and room for informal activities such as gatherings, games, tutoring and socializing.

The 13,700-square-foot community center is to be built from the ground up. Its heart will be a 3,500-square-foot multi-purpose room, offering enough space for 200-275 people and dividable into three rooms. What the City hopes to achieve with the community center is to create opportunities for public and private events; classes; cause, or if there is a cause, the City has to give the concessionaire 30 days to correct the problem before termination.

What’s more, the City is granting its concessionaire the exclusive right to operate one or more beverage-snack carts on the golf course. The cart, or carts, may serve and sell alcoholic beverages, food items and sundries.

When the new contract goes into effect, such carts must be

operational on at least the following days, although not necessarily during bad weather: seven days a week from May 1 through Labor Day; and Friday through Sunday from the day after Labor Day through Sept. 30, Kava, LLC’s seven-year contract with the City ended last November. City officials said there were things they had wanted to see change at the restaurant, but the suggested amendments weren’t

bullet, fired by an unknown person, likely killed Greer.

In asking for $5 million bail, prosecutor Charles Sergis described to a superior court judge the alleged shooter’s lengthy criminal record, which includes prior adult convictions for assault and negligent driving and several juvenile convictions.

“Despite being a convicted felon, the defendant retrieved a gun from his vehicle in the course of a fistfight outside the Sports Page Tavern on March 31, 2013,” Sergis said.

“He then returned to the scene of the fight, where he shot and killed both Nicholas Lindsay and Lorenzo Duncan while they were on the ground, defenseless. … The defendant poses a significant danger to public safety, given the callous disregard for human life he displayed during these crimes. He is likely to fail to appear since he is facing a very lengthy prison sentence if convicted.”

According to what witnesses told detectives the argument started between two women on the dance floor, one of them part of the group that included Duncan, Lindsay and Greer.

The physical fight only

within the scope of what Kava wanted to do. They cited as well a lack of growth over the last seven years and a sense that the restaurant had stagnated.

“The City wanted to take it to a more popular level, especially with the golfers and active users.

showed its head outside in the parking lot, five minutes after closing, as about 100 patrons milled into the parking lot and security was herding people to their cars to clear the lot.

Loud talk from one of the women involved in the dance floor argument outside led to a fistfight between the men in the two groups, according to the affidavit. According to the affidavit, a few of the fighters went south of the parking lot and out onto Auburn Way North to fight and the rest began moving north through the parking lot, toward where the fatal shots were later fired.

Several witnesses told police that a woman first fired a warning shot into the air to break up the fight. Hearing that, a witness said, a man, perhaps believing that shots were being fired in earnest, ran to his car across the lot and grabbed a gun. An estimated 20-to-30 seconds after the warning shot, multiple individuals pulled out their handguns and began firing.

Although witness accounts of the fatal shootings vary widely, a number of witnesses identified or described Jimerson as the man who shot and killed the two men.

a fitness room with cardio and resistance machines; city-wide celebrations; storage; offices; and work areas for Parks, Arts and Rec administrative staff.

Shared spaces between the buildings are to include a lobby, some outdoor gathering areas and a teaching and warming kitchen, which the project realizes by renovating and expanding the kitchen.

Lokting said his team took what it learned from earlier meetings with the City Council, with the Junior City Council and with neighbors and community representatives then folded what it learned into several principles that are guiding the design.

One of those principles calls for preserving open space, meaning that the project’s footprint must not encroach into the open area to the east of the existing buildings.

A second principle calls for connections to the park, so that when people first come onto the site they have a primary gathering place and a point of connection between access to the community and youth center and access to the park.

Early plans show 69 parking spaces adjacent to the center and generous buffering to shield the surrounding neighborhood from the project.

Design work began last November.

“Finding a color and material palette that was neutral and natural and appropriate for the campus setting, that was not only effective from a budget perspective but also from a maintenance perspective, actually became a really important topic,” Lokting said.

Lokting said where possible, construction will incorporate local building materials.

Ethen shared his ideas and his company’s $16,000 remote-controlled aircraft with colleagues at the Unmanned Systems Spring Forum, Trade Show and Networking Event at Kent’s CenterPoint Corporate Park last week.

Fountainhead Northwest LLC and the City of Kent hosted the event, which brought in 200 business leaders and vendors from Washington and the North-

www.auburn-reporter.com west. The program included guest speakers from a wide range of UAV-affiliated fields. Groups toured the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab and participated in demonstrations at the Green River College flight simulator.

The City’s Economic and Community Development department is working with business and industry leaders and the colleges to explore potential partnerships to create a UAV technology hub in Kent.

According to industry leaders, the potential partnership would develop a “maker space” lab for the research, development and testing of UAVs in the hopes of enticing business leaders and industries to choose Kent and Auburn as

their business destinations.

The Kent/Auburn Valley already has a legacy in the UAV industry through Boeing’s space research and development, and advances made by other cuttingedge companies, like Blue Origin, which is working on launch vehicles to carry people to space.

“The talent and the technology are already here in the valley, and so are some of the buildings,” said Bill Ellis, a City of Kent economic development analyst.

“But the question is: how do we build that industry going forward?”

Traditionally, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been military tools designed to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

But with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) actively integrating these systems into the National Airspace System, the civilian and commercial use of drones should increase dramatically in the years ahead.

The market for small and medium drones likely will see the greatest growth in civil and commercial operations, industry leaders say. And Washington, like other states, stands to gain financially in job growth.

Industry leaders acknowledge that drones conjure up images of military use and war weaponry.

And despite the public’s concerns about security and privacy, especially with domestic drones, the multipurpose craft is here to stay, industry leaders say.

“The applications are unlimited by your imagination,” said Alex Kaiser, with the Sandpoint, Idaho-based xCraft, which designs small drones.

Count the ways UAVs of all kinds are being used in a wide range of roles.

They are ideal for crop monitoring, 3D mapping and imaging, surveying and surveillance, air quality control and pollution monitoring, and disaster assessment.

Agriculturally, UAVs can be an effective tool, Ethen said.

His company, NW

Aerial Perspectives, offers camera-equipped UAVs, including the one displayed at the show, which features a 10½-foot wingspan and supports enough battery life to power a 2½-hour flight.

Ethen’s company specializes in UAV-assisted, precision agriculture and aerial videography, providing ranchers, farmers and others a cost-effective managerial eye from the sky.

“We can get multispectral photographs to detect the health of the plant, whether there is too much or too little water, whether there’s leaks in your irrigation system,” he said.

Such data and photography can help farmers better treat and protect their crops, perhaps saving billions of dollars in costs, Ethen said.

“We can help people save money … money spent in pesticides, fertilizers and water for farming,” he said.

“If we can save them 1 percent, it’s a massive amount of money.”

UAVs also help monitor the environment, aiding in the protection of habitat and of estuaries throughout the world.

Drones also can act as aerial construction and repair workers, help fight fires, log forests, support disaster relief, fight crime in the neighborhood, inspect oil rigs and deliver goods.

TAKE A SURVEY: The Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Department seeks public feedback to help shape the future of city parks and open spaces. City officials are in the process of updating the Parks & Recreation Open Space Plan (PROS), which will provide a six-year plan and 20-year vision for Auburn’s park system.

Green River and the UW are preparing students for the UAV and UAS generation.

The UW has become a premier research institution with programs and expertise in UAS. At Auburn, the Green River Aviation Technology Department launched a program in April that introduces students to the requirements of operating a UAV. The two-year applied science program should to develop into a four-year degree option for students.

George Comollo, the aviation department’s senior instructor, is seeing a growing demand for UAV uses and for people capable of designing, building, repairing and running them.

Colin Nesbitt, who retired after 22 years in the Army, decided to return to college and get back into the aviation game. He was part of UAS surveillance missions in Iraq. After leaving the military, Nesbitt jumped at the chance to earn a UAS basic operator certificate at Green River.

By the end of summer classes, he expects to have airline dispatch and UAS degrees, making himself even more marketable.

FUN WITH BRICKS AND WHEELS

Lego-stocked shop brings in families, and collectors

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Two sorts of Lego builders stalk this world.

Aaron Fike, owner of Bricks and Wheels, a Kent store specializing in second-hand Legos, caters to both.

“Some of the parents come in and say, ‘Aw, my kid just builds by the instructions, I wish they’d use their imagination more,’ while the others come in and say, ‘My kid builds by the instructions, then smashes it and builds other stuff,’ ” said Fike, 33. “We try and tell people it’s all great. There is no wrong way.

Lego has so many educational and formative aspects to it.”

For nearly a year, Bricks and Wheels, which sells Hot Wheels cars too, has been the local spot for full sets of Lego fun, or for that special brick a builder needs to finish a creative project.

Fike has been a fan of the building system ever since he was a kid.

“Me and my older brother had what we thought was all the Legos in the world,” Fike said.

“But looking back, most of my

customers have way more than we did then. But we had half of a tub and could do anything with them.”

Although most of the time Fike and his brother used their bricks with other toys, like G.I. Joe and Star Wars action figures, one particular set stands out.

“The biggest one we had by far was Victory Lap Racing,” Fike said, pointing to the already-built, 1988 Formula One racing set on a display cabinet.

“My aunt bought it for us. It’s nothing we would have gotten on our own. I built that so many times as a kid.”

Fike said his love for the toy continued into adulthood. It even captured the imagination of his four children, aged 11, 8, 6 and 5.

“They’re all Lego fans, so we had a lot in the house,” Fike said.

Until a few years ago, Fike had a solid career as a marketing consultant to local warehouses and distributors, but he wasn’t satisfied.

“Most of the companies were too big to appreciate what we were doing,” Fike said. “We would go save somebody tens

of millions of dollars, even if they had to change three types of paperwork to do it, and they wouldn’t do it. So I traded that for a completely different brand of customer here.”

Originally, Fike – who on the side buys the contents of abandoned storage units – planned to set up a combination thrift store-Lego shop in the space he leased at 12135 Southeast KentKangley Road. But soon enough it was clear what the shop’s real draw was – the bricks.

By last August, the thrift store offerings were on the way out, and the Lego Star Wars wing was open.

“There is more of it than anything else. It’s the strongest genre and saved the company when they had their trouble in the ’90s,” Fike said. “The super heroes are huge, too. There is a lot that’s huge for them. All of the different stuff has its fans, but Star Wars is definitely a formidable category. They’ve been doing it so long, there is so much out there. There is more of it than anything else.”

Even if the shop’s been open for less than a year, Fike said, it

has been a roaring success.

“Most of (the Lego hobby and specialty shops) are really geared towards collectors, but as a builder and a father, it didn’t offer a lot for me,” Fike said. “The secondary Lego market is gigantic. It’s multi-millions of dollars on Amazon and eBay and places like that. And if you’re

And at the end of the day, Bricks and Wheels is all about family.

Runners and their furry companions start the Dog Trot at Game Farm Park last year. The popular event returns to the park May 16. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

Are you expecting? Do you know someone who is?

Whether you’re a future parent, a grandparent or a good friend, bringing a baby into a household with dogs requires planning and preparation.

If you’re the parent, or anticipate caring for the baby on a regular basis, think through your daily routine as it relates to the resident canine.

What will Fido’s role be when the baby is sleeping, eating, playing and fussing? Does Fido know

how to go to a spot (such as a blanket, rug, towel or crate) and stay there until released? Any issues with separation anxiety or destructive behavior need to be resolved before the baby arrives. Aggression or resource guarding of toys or food are serious issues that must be corrected and may require the help of a professional.

As soon as the pregnancy is confirmed, buy or borrow some of the basic baby necessities, along with a baby doll, to rehearse your routine and accustom Fido to the sights, smells, sounds and activities associated with a newborn. Be proactive and give your dog little jobs to do as you go about your baby tasks.

Riverside’s Brittni Williams limbers for final stretch

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Riverside senior jumper and sprinter Brittni Williams is used to being at the top of the Washington State rankings in the long jump and triple jump.

In the long jump, where she has competed in the state meet ever since her freshman year, she has placed sixth, eighth and eleventh in her three trips to the state meet.

In the triple jump, where she has competed at the state championships ever since her sophomore year, she finished second at state last season with a 37 foot, 3 3/4 inch leap, and fourth in 2013.

As for the 100-meter dash, now that’s a different story.

Although she’s competed in the event ever since her freshman year, she’s never punched her ticket to state in the event.

This could be the year, however, when Williams finally comes into her own as a sprinter.

On March 26, at Harry E. Lang Stadium in Lakewood against Lakes High School, Williams ran a Washington State 3A best 12.34 second time in the event.

It was the first time this season Williams competed in the event.

“That surprised me a lot,” Williams said. “At first when I finished, I didn’t think I ran that fast. But it was good

Senior Brittni Williams competes for Auburn Riverside last month at the all-Auburn City Track and Field Meet at Auburn Mountainview High School. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter weather, and I do run better in good, warm or hot weather.”

Already on track to qualify for state in the long jump – with a state-3Abest 18-2 1/2 – and the triple – with a state-3A-fifth-best 36-2 – Williams is on track to compete in the 100, too.

“I was just going to focus on the jump for postseason,” Williams said. “I

may have to work on the 100 now.”

Given Williams’ work ethic, said Raven girls track coach Christie Rogers, her performance in the 100 wasn’t a surprise.

“It was a really good run for her,” Rogers said. “She’s such a hard worker we sometimes have to slow her down.

Even though she’s battling some inju-

ries [hip and shin splints], she’s still out there everyday, working hard. She’s out here everyday, sometimes longer than the other athletes. She leads warm ups and is in the first group running through.”

Williams, who hopes to compete next year at Sacramento State, said knowing it is her last year of prep competition provides impetus to make it special.

“It makes me want to work hard because I know time is running out,” Williams said. “I really want to do the best that I can do, get better marks, better times and just work hard.”

Injuries be damned.

“I just push through, I can’t really let it affect me,” Williams said. “I have work to do.

Among the tasks on her list this season — helping to set the tone for the future of the Auburn Riverside girls track program.

“She is quite the leader out there; she’s been our team captain for two years now,” Rogers said. “She works with the young kids and tries to motivate them and help them out.”

A leader by example, Williams said she hopes to inspire others to work as hard as she does.

“I think if you demonstrate, people will follow,” Williams said. “If you set a good example, they will follow it. I’m not real vocal.” [ more TRACK page 18 ]

NEW ERA BEGINS AT EMERALD DOWNS Businesslike president takes charge as track opens 20th season

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Phil Ziegler is all business.

For the most part.

As befits a former marketing director, Ziegler, president of Muckleshoot Tribe-owned Emerald Downs, LLC, sticks to the message on most points, lauding past ownership, explaining planned improvements and larger horse fields.

Get the 51-year-old Long Island, N.Y., native talking about horse racing, however, and not just the business end of it, and you get a different side of the man.

“It goes back to my dad,” Ziegler said. “Everybody has those memories of their day, whether it was going to ballgames, or whatever the activity was. For us, it was going to the track (Belmont Park) on the big days.”

Ziegler fondly recalls a golden age of racing.

“Oh, if anybody would remember these horses,” Ziegler said. “There was this one, Forgo, that would always run in the big races and every holiday. It was during a great era of racing – you had three Triple Crown winners in the ’70s when I was a kid.”

Perhaps it is those fond memories of the heyday of Thoroughbred racing in the ’70s, or the enthusiasm that fizzes over when he talks about the past, that inspired Emerald Downs’ new owners, the Muckleshoot Tribe, to hire him.

Ziegler began writing the next chapter in Emerald Downs racing last Saturday when Emerald Downs opened for its 20th season. He follows Ron Crockett, the track’s

Phil Ziegler brings enthusiasm and knowledge to Emerald Downs as president of the Muckleshoot Tribe-owned track. Ziegler will oversee some subtle changes to the track while maintaining efforts to bring more families and younger fans to the sport. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter founder and president for 19 years and president of the Northwest Racing Associates.

Racing resumes at 2 p.m. this Saturday.

Most likely it is a combination of Ziegler’s history with the tribe – he was marketing director for the Muckleshoot Casino for 10 years (19952005). He was also executive general manager and marketing director at Zia Park racetrack in New Mexico and for the past 7½ years, director of marketing at the Coushatta Resort Casino in Louisiana.

Whatever the reason for his hiring, Ziegler is poised to help the Muckleshoot Tribe further its investment in Thoroughbred racing in the Pacific Northwest.

“They’re the heroes in this,” Ziegler said. “They’ve contributed over $12 million in purses since they bought the land. They’ve invested and are going to invest more to enhance the experience here.

When you look at all they’ve done for the sport, and now they’re taking over ownership of the track, a lot of people are excited. It’s about them and not me.”

Among the changes coming to the track this season is the addition of a big screen monitor above the tote board, allowing for better viewing of a whole race, including the backstretch. “(It’s) really going to enhance the fan experience,” Ziegler said. “To me, the biggest difference with horse racing, against any other sport, is it’s the one sport where you bring your kid, and for the most part you can’t see, except for a few seconds of the race. Imagine [being] a kid, first time you’re on the rail, and you can’t see the race.”

Ziegler hopes the track can increase the number of horses in individual races.

“Field sizes were down last year and the horse

population. That’s an issue throughout the country and the breeding industry, and it’s going to take some time to hopefully turn the corner and get that back,” he said. “We’ll see it’s a long-range deal.”

Ziegler said the Tribe has kept Crockett on as a consultant to continue to help guide the track’s fortunes into the future.

In addition to the racing, Ziegler said, the track plans to increase other uses for the facility, which include meetings, conventions and special events such as proms.

But the prime reason for coming out will always be racing and the family atmosphere.

“The whole season is going to be fun,” Ziegler said. “The nice part about Emerald Downs is the crowds and the families. They still come out.

It’s one of the few tracks in the country where they still do very well with live attendance.”

[ TRACK from page 17 ] Despite the fact that Williams’ prep career comes to an end next month, the 17-yearold intends to compete in club and USA Track and Field competitions this summer, just as she has done since elementary school.

Now all that’s left for Williams and her prep career are a handful of South Puget Sound League 3A meets and, hopefully, a trip to the postseason.

“I need to work more on technique and practice a lot more,” Williams said. “And be consistent.”

ALSO: Although the Ravens are far removed from the 2012’s state 4A runnerup squad, the cupboard is not bare, Rogers said. Aside from Williams, the team looks to senior thrower Jessica Packer to build momentum going into the postseason.

“She’s coming along right now and has been posting PR’s like crazy,” Rogers said.

This season she’s posted a personal record 31-3½ in the shot put, and a 91-6 in the javelin.

The SPSL 3A/Seamount 3A league meet is May 15-16 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.

The West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A meet is May 22-23 at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.

The prep season wraps up May 28-30 at Mount Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma.

Auburn Mountainview For the Lion girls, senior Tiffany Pott leads the way with her 5-2 high jump, third best in the West Central District 3A ranks and tied for sixth in the state 3A. Also looking to move on to the postseason is sophomore hurdler Molly House, who has the seventh fastest 300 hurdles time in the state 3A ranks with a 47.09. Her 100 hurdles time of 16.62 is fifth best in the West Central District 3A. The Auburn Mountainview 800 relay team is continuing the Lion girls’ relay winning tradition with the seventh fastest time in the state 3A with a 1:48.59.

Auburn Mountainview senior Heaven Palaita is in the top 10 in the shot put and the discus, with a 10th-place 36-11 and a seventh-place 113-9, respectively.

Auburn Freshman Rebecca Thereek has made the most of her first year of high school competition for Auburn with the third fastest 300 hurdle time in state at 46.37. Thereek also ranks in the top 10 in the high jump with her 5-2, which is tied for sixth-place.

Eileen Lucretia (Kurth) Sanders

Eileen Lucretia (Kurth) Sanders, 77, of Princeville, Hawaii, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2015 in Bellevue, WA. Eileen was born on September 4, 1937 in Almira, WA to the late William and Audrey (Peddicord) Kurth. She attended Grand Coulee High School and graduated in 1955. She went on to earn a teaching degree from College of the Puget Sound in 1959 and married George L. Sanders that same year.

Eileen worked as an elementary school teacher in the Puyallup, Washougal, Camas and Federal Way School Districts for 27 years, and retired in 1987. Throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s, the family enjoyed many extended camping trips exploring national parks across the Western US and Alaska. In the ‘80s, the Sanders discovered boating and continued their passion for exploration on the waters of Puget Sound and the Canadian Inside Passage. Also during this time, the Sanders became enthusiastic Washington Husky football fans and eagerly looked forward to Saturday afternoons tailgating with their many dear friends at Husky Stadium and around the country.

After retirement, the Sanders relocated to Princeville, HI, in 1992 where they lived for 20 years.

In addition to being an avid reader, Eileen developed an extraordinary talent and dedication for hand quilting, donating countless hours and stunning quilts to charities, friends and family members.

Eileen is survived by her husband George Sanders of Bellevue, WA, sister Charlotte (Kurth) Cooper of Gig Harbor,WA, brother Donald (Judy) Kurth of Redmond, WA; sons Marc (Maureen) Sanders, Gary (Amy) Sanders; and four grandchildren Thierry (Becca) Sanders-Brillault, Brett Sanders, Kyra (Will) Ketchen and Dana Sanders.

Private services and burial will be held in Palouse, WA on Saturday, April 18, 2015 through Kramer Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, North Tower, 100 West Harrison Street, N200, Seattle, WA 98119. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the caring staff of the Bellevue Rose Adult Family Home for their support in her final days.
