Green River proposes program cuts City hopes to stop ‘halfway house’ bid

BY HEIDI SANDERS

hsanders@kentreporter.com

Facing at least a $1.8 million budget deficit next year, the Green River College Board

of Trustees may eliminate four programs to save money.

College officials cited low enrollment in the auto body technology and geographic

information systems programs and the cost of running the parent-child education and carpentry programs as reasons for the potential cuts.

But members of the college's faculty union, United Faculty, said they think the [ more COLLEGE page 7 ]

CLEAN SWEEP

Volunteers gathered in downtown Auburn last Saturday for Clean Sweep, a community-wide effort that focuses on cleanup and beautification efforts. Volunteers worked on general tidying, landscaping, weeding and

related projects at parks, trails and other spots around Auburn.

Volunteers erected a new playground at Dykstra Park, thanks to a national grant the City received. See story, page 2. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter

No way.

Such was the City of Auburn’s response to a letter it received April 13, informing officials here of a Washington corporation’s offer to open for the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) “a halfway house” in Auburn, capable of housing up to 112 convicted felons who are within a few months of their release dates.

“We unequivocally oppose the siting of this type of service within our city, and that the location that they have identified was not zoned truly to even accommodate that kind of facility,” declares the City letter sent last week.

The April 13 letter from the Mukilteobased Rêver Corporation said it intended to submit a proposal to site the facility at One 116th Street Northeast, where the Comfort Inn is, after “modestly upgrading certain features,” of the hotel.

The Washington Secretary of State’s website identifies the Rêver Corporation as a forprofit corporation formed on March 2, 2015.

Its agent is Yongwan Seo. A spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s Office told the [ more FBOP page 7 ]

NEW PLAYGROUND

A new playground graces Dykstra Park, thanks to a national grant and the hard work of volunteers. City leaders joined a volunteer force to build the new playground at the park, 1533 22nd St. NE, last Saturday, part of the community-wide Clean Sweep effort. Dr Pepper, Snapple, and national nonprofit KaBOOM! awarded a $15,000 Let’s Play Community Construction Grant to the City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation to build the new playground.

[ CASINO from page 1 ] about 25 that are open now.

We weren’t the first then, but since then we’ve been the first to open with (gaming) machines in 1999. The first in the state. And we were the first in the world, the entire world, to open the entire floor with ticketin, ticket-out, cashless technology.”

Since then, Durban explained, other casinos from gambling meccas such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City have toured the Auburn casino to mimic the Muck-

leshoots’ move to cashless machines.

“They all realized that was where they wanted to be also,” he said. “They had to deal with coin, and it’s such a problem on so many levels. It’s dirty, it’s heavy.

You have L&I claims. You have to control it. It’s loose and hard to control.”

Durban said the casino’s innovation continues with the recent revamping of the facilities’ electronic gaming platform, a project that has been in the works for the past six months.

To highlight the upgrade,

the casino will present a series of promotions over the next four months.

“We’ve got eight new electronic gaming promotions we’re going to roll out.

We’re going to be the first and only in the state to do it,” Durban said. “We just did our first stress (test) on that, and it was successful.”

Among the promotions, interactive gaming opportunities will be available to all players at the same time.

“People will be sitting at their machines, and all of a sudden a promotion will show up on a screen,”

It’s a simple yet effective recipe.

First you fetch some potters, craftspeople, teachers and others, then mix ’em up really good with people throughout the community who think making handcrafted bowls for a good cause is the greatest thing since spice racks.

Then invite your guests to a simple meal of bread and soup in these very bowls.

Soup, organizers say, that is bound to warm the stomach – and the soul.

In exchange for a $15 cash donation, you ask your guests to keep a bowl, a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Then you donate all the money you’ve raised to a local organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

In Auburn, that organization is the Auburn Food Bank.

Durban said. “And it will be a horse race, and everybody in the casino is picking a horse. It will be a graphical display of horses, and they’ll pick the silk colors of the horse they want. They’ll watch the whole thing, the walk up to the paddock. It will be just like Emerald Downs. The race will go off on monitors at the same time for everybody. And the players will be able to continue playing, or not play, depending on what they choose. And if they pick the right horse, they’ll win a certain amount.

Celebrate with us!

Second or third, you’ll win a little less.”

Innovation is also alive and kicking at the casino in many of the new machines on the gaming floor.

Among them are newlyarrived machines offering a full sensory experience.

“The ‘Willy Wonka’ and the ‘Wizard of Oz’ machines feature a chair that will shake and surround sound,” Durban said.

“They’re exciting games.

They’ve been on our floor for a couple of months. We have more types of games on our floor than any other casino in the state, and we’ll continue to lead in that.”

Although there are no plans in the works for an actual expansion of the casino, Durban said, the tribe is always looking for bigger and better.

The success of the business side of the casino is important to Durban, who has worked for the Muckleshoot Tribe for more than 25 years, five of them

as comptroller, 20-plus as the casino CFO. Durban is most proud of the effect the casino experience has had on employees and customers.

“What’s most amazing is to walk in and talk to the employees and get a feel for how many lives have been touched by this building in two different directions,” he said. “One, it’s the building and the business as a whole that’s touched them, and the family lives, and what has gone on for them in the past 20 years. But it’s also about how they have touched this building by what they brought to the business. We really have folks who understand guest service. There is not a day that goes by that doesn’t have a problem, some kind of hiccup, that they have to figure out on the fly how to solve and correct. That comes with some incredible team members.”

For five years now, local artists, businesses and restaurants have made the Empty Bowls fundraiser part of Auburn’s spring landscape.

This year’s shindig starts at 11 a.m. and ends 2 p.m. Friday at Grace Community Church, 1320 Auburn Way S. Attendees may buy a soup bowl handmade by students and professional potters for that minimum donation. Customers have a choice of soup from among those donated by local restaurants and schools.

All told, the donation gets a body a handcrafted pottery or wood bowl to keep. All food – soup, bread, cookies and beverages – is donated by local restaurants and the culinary arts students in Auburn’s high schools.

Potters and woodworkers donate bowls, and the ceramics department at Green River College holds an annual “bowl throw” to supply bowls for the event.

Auburn man sentenced to more than 7 years for human trafficking A 33-year-old Auburn man was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 92 months in prison for two counts of human trafficking, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.

John Henry Cyprian Jr., aka “Lucky,” was arrested in June 2014, following a Bellevue Police

Department investigation into Cyprian’s sex trafficking of two women in Western Washington and Portland, Ore. Cyprian pleaded guilty to two counts of human trafficking on Dec. 15, 2014.

At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik imposed three years of supervised release and required Cyprian to register as a sex offender.

AN AUBURN MAN was arrested at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on April 22 on charges he criminally mistreated a man in his care at his adult family home. The victim has been hospitalized since Jan. 6.

The Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has charged Alfredo Tia with second-degree criminal mistreatment in King County Superior Court. The victim, a 69-year-old man, was a resident of Joportia Adult Family Home from July 11, 2014, until he was admitted to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center earlier this year with six severe pressure ulcers, at least one of which went to the bone.

A social worker at the hospital reported suspected abuse. The investigation was forwarded to the AGO Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, as the victim’s care was paid for by Medicaid programs.

Green River College is losing its focus on our community. The college recently removed “community” from its name. Faculty and staff learned of this decision over winter break from local television news.

This past week, President Eileen Ely announced her proposal to eliminate carpentry, auto body, parent education and geographic information systems. The faculty responsible for these programs learned of the decision via a letter from Ely, attached to an email from the Office of Human Resources and Legal Affairs.

Just like the decision to remove the “community” from the college’s name, this decision to eliminate traditional community college programs came as a complete surprise. And the cold method of delivery left faculty and staff speechless, and some in tears. Ely gave the faculty 30 days to defend their programs, as is required in their contract.

The administration’s decision to change the name of the college is final. While I do understand the reasons behind that decision, I opposed it and still do. In an all-campus email this past January, Ely stated, “Although the name is changing, the mission of the college will remain the same.” But her latest decision to terminate traditional community college programs proves to me that she is not being transparent.

One of the primary justifications for the name change was that Green River was adding new four-year applied degrees. Much of the momentum lately has been on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs. Believe me, I support these programs. As a mathematics teacher, I am the “M” in STEM. But not all students need or want STEM careers.

Targeting carpentry, auto body, parent education and geographic information systems is targeting the heart of the community college.

I should also mention that the administration [ more GUEST OP page 6 ]

They are building a beautiful new trades building across the street from the campus, state of the art for the five programs that have been operating since the college opened in the 1960s. It costs $28 million to build this building, and now the president, Eileen Ely, has decided on her own to shut down two of the programs (carpentry and auto body tech), even though the programs have full enrollments and people waiting to get in.

Two paint booths worth $100,000 each are delivered and waiting to be installed, as well as new hydraulic lifts and body straightening machines.

So less than three months

Bad timing? Legislators up for substantial pay raise State lawmakers are up for a raise in the next two years.

It looks like it will be a lot larger than what they’re considering giving thousands of state workers and public school teachers.

On May 13, the Washington Citizens’ Commission on Salaries

for Elected Officials is set to vote to give lawmakers an 11 percent raise. That would be more than double the percentage increase that those same legislators are considering for state workers and teachers.

Teachers know this and are incensed about it.

sion urging it to be less generous.

And they made their feelings clear when Gov. Jay Inslee spoke at last Saturday’s rally of 5,000 educators and supporters on the steps of the state Capitol.

higher education, and the bulk of it goes to turning out more white-collar workers. How much goes to helping people learn marketable skills who aren’t interested in working in an office? Is it too much to ask for a few programs for normal, hard-working people that want a decent life?

Several of the students are trying to find a skill set and occupation that will welcome people with a strike or two against them. Should society go out of its way to encourage this kind of effort?

Finally, what say are the politicians in Auburn, Kent, Enumclaw and Federal Way having in this decision, or the process that made it? They talk endlessly about income inequality, the need to raise wages, and here is a place where the normal person can improve their lot in life by learning hard, incomeearning skills.

percent in the next budget, he was briefly drowned out by a chant of “12 percent, 12 percent” – a slightly off reference to the pending doubledigit pay hike for lawmakers. Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4-percent raise.

To be fair, lawmakers aren’t involved in the process of setting their own pay. That’s the role of the commission, an independent panel expected to operate free of political encumbrances.

Commissioners derived their recommendations from a consultant’s analysis using something called the Willis System that tries to put a value to various duties associated with a particular job. In this instance, the consultant calibrated lawmakers’ responsibilities and earnings against those of nonunion state administrators and their wages and concluded lawmakers are underpaid.

Their last raise came in 2008. Commissioners in January proposed an 8 percent increase starting Sept. 1 and

another 3 percent on Sept. 1, 2016.

This would push pay for 143 lawmakers from $42,106 to $46,839. Leaders of the four caucuses have higher salaries. The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader would make $55,738 while the House and Senate minority leaders would earn $51,288.

Lawmakers aren’t the only ones in line for higher salaries. Commissioners are suggesting 4 percent increases for the governor, eight other statewide elected office-holders and every judge from district court up to the Supreme Court. For some jobs, the panel wants to add in a little more such as an extra 8 percent for the state treasurer and 3.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Under the proposal, Inslee would make $173,617 in 2016, up from

students who graduate from these programs are hired by local businesses.

Business and community leaders serve on advisory committees that inform the programs, making sure the curriculum is current and meets local needs.

At the very least, the community and these advisory committees should have been consulted before a decision was made to eliminate them. With the 30-day clock ticking, the community is now left with very little time to react. I hope it is not too late.

Lipstick on a pig Let’s recap. The City Council wants to spend $18,000 to paint fake trees on a water tank in Lakeland Hills. The rational for spending the money to cut down real trees, only to paint fake trees, is as quoted by the council, “It’s not a lot of money, and we will give the residents something nice to look at.”

I would like to add a couple more points against spending the

money. As an aspiring politician said a few years ago, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Paint the water tank whatever color you want to, put whatever design on it that you want, the fact is … it’s still a water tank. Also, has anyone asked the residents of that area if they even want fake trees painted on the tank?

Probably not, since the councilmembers have not been up to see the water tank, and I seriously doubt that any of those residents have been pounding on the mayor’s door complaining of the tank. Specially since they purchased the house when the tank was already there.

Finally, as I was once again trying to look for this tank because, as I pointed out earlier, it’s not that easy to see since its hidden mostly by real trees, I noticed what appears to be a lovely cellphone tower within a stone’s throw of this water tank. So again, to address the ugliness of the water tank only to have this cellphone tower in the same back yard, is pointless and a waste of money.

However, we all know the City is going to do what the City wants to do, no matter who or what anyone thinks.

The City is littered with bad decisions and history will continue to repeat itself. It’s lipstick on a pig, folks.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ COLLEGE from page 1 ] college is unfairly targeting the programs.

Eight employees, including fulltime and adjunct faculty, could lose their positions if the programs are cut, said Marshall Sampson, vice president of Human Resources and Legal Affairs for the college.

Key figures in the faculty union head up three of the endangered programs. The union has been in contract negotiations with college administration for more than a year, including mediation over the past few months, after having failed to come to an agreement, said Jaeney Hoene, vice president of United Faculty and English division chair.

“There has been lots of tension between United Faculty and administration,” Hoene said.

Mark Millbauer, head of the auto body technology program, is the president of United Faculty and one of three members of the negotiations team. Leslie Kessler is another member of the negotiations team and head of the parent-child education program. Glen Martin is carpentry program director and union treasurer.

“We don’t find the explanation (for the program cuts) to be very

congruent with reality,” Hoene said. “The possibility that these are targeted seems a bit more likely to many of the faculty.”

Allison Friedly, executive director of college relations, said the programs have not been targeted, and it is unfortunate that union leaders are the ones whose programs could be eliminated.

“It is completely coincidental that their programs are both outrageously expensive and have low enrollment,” Friedly said.

There are 18 full-time student equivalents enrolled in the auto body program, down from more than 30 in spring 2011. Geographic information systems has about 20 full-time student equivalents, down from 25 in 2011. Last spring, there were about 10 full-time student equivalents.

Typically, if the college considers eliminating a program, it goes through a review process, but it is not required in the current circumstances because of the college’s financial situation, Friedly said.

College officials anticipate at least a $1.8 million budget shortfall, but it could be as much as $5.2 million owing to legislative action, including a proposed tuition freeze and changes in how funds are allocated, Friedly said.

then and now, the FBOP neglected to inform the City of Auburn about what it was doing, though Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke acknowledged her City had received notification. “(April 13) was the absolute first we had heard of any of this,” Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus told a study ! City session of the Auburn Council on Monday evening.

“The City of Kent did receive notice from the department that it was seeking proposals, but that’s as far as it’s gotten. We have not heard whether any property owner in this community has submitted a proposal,” Cooke said.

In the April 13 letter, the

The deadline to respond to the FBOP’s request for proposals (RFP) was April 20. The FBOP has not disclosed how many parties responded to its RFP. According to Bureau of Prisons personnel, the RFPs went out in January, inviting interested parties to submit proposals to create would officially be called the Reentry Center Services and Home Confinement Services facility.

Except it appears that in the months between

College enrollment is down, too, she said.

“Enrollments are decreasing because the economy is getting better,” she said.

Friedly said the college has made extensive cuts on the administrative side, so now instructional programs face reductions.

“That is one area that hasn’t received any cutbacks,” she said.

Hoene said cutting the carpentry and auto body programs doesn’t make sense when those are two of five programs set to move into a new trades building this fall.

Friedly said if those programs are cut, the trades building could be reconfigured to house other programs.

“We are not at the point where the interior is complete,” Friedly said.

Faculty received letters on April 20 outlining the proposed program cuts. Per faculty contract, any time positions could be eliminated, there is a 30-day comment period during which faculty may submit suggestions for saving the programs.

College officials are hopeful that faculty can come up with viable suggestions.

“We have not found that way on our own with the abilities we

Rêver Corporation discloses that FBOP’s estimated requirements are 25 beds for men and six beds for women at the beginning of the contracting term, increasing incrementally to 48 beds for men and 12 beds for women.

The goal is to offer offenders the chance to find a job, a place to live and to re-enter the community through “a structured, supportive environment.”

A spokesperson for the City of Renton said she was unaware of any such notice.

By the date the City of Auburn got its letter, the comment period had passed,

have…” Sampson said. “A lot of times faculty members will know how costs can be saved.”

Any decision to cut programs would require action by the college’s Board of Trustees.

“They are not easy decisions,” Sampson said. “They are not decisions we take lightly.”

Board chair Pete Lewis did not want to comment on the issue since it is still going through the administrative process. He said, however, many colleges across the country face similar enrollment declines and financial shortfalls.

Lewis referred calls to college President Eileen Ely, who did not respond by press time.

“It is important to note that, at this time, no final decision has been made as to program closures,” college officials said in a memo on Monday. “The college is eager to review the proposals brought forward, in order to retain as many programs as possible. However, given the current financial situation of the college, the proposals will have to result in a savings to the college in order to retain all programs. The college, first and foremost, must be fiscal stewards of state funds and do what will best serve students.”

without any prior notification that there was to be a comment period, regarding a proposal the City knew nothing about.

In the April 13 letter, Jeremy Seo, Rêver’s chief financial officer, explained to Lee the reason for the letter.

He said the law required that the local jurisdiction be notified of Rêver’s intention to build there.

Although the date to comment had passed without any notification, the FBOP told Lee that it would still accept the City’s comments.

The Auburn Reporter tried to contact David Kwok,

Hoene said the union is concerned that the college may act during the bargaining process.

The faculty contract expired last June, but it remains in effect while negotiations for a new contract continue.

Hoene said the only part of the contract changed by the expiration is that grievances raised by faculty can no longer go to arbitration.

“We don’t have the option to go to arbitration,” she said, “which in this situation, does tip the balance.”

Friedly said she understands how stressful the situation is for students and faculty.

“Green River is a campus that thrives on their very rich history,” she said. “When something like this hasn’t happened (in the past), it is very upsetting.”

Students have not been officially notified of the potential program cuts, and, until a final decision is made, they won’t be, Friedly said.

But many students have learned of the possible cuts through their instructors.

Dozens of students, many enrolled in the programs facing elimination, picketed in front of the new trades building on Wednesday, hoping to garner support to save the programs.

owner of the Comfort Inn in Auburn to determine if he was aware of the proposal, but he was away from his office Wednesday.

“In our opinion, hopefully, it is a done deal,” Backus said. “We wanted to make sure everyone was aware that we are in no way advocating for this type of facility in the city of Auburn. The Bureau of Prisons RFP was to site this type of facility in South King County. We don’t know how many proposals they have received … The whole process is, in our opinion, more than a bit flawed.”

“I understand the need

for these kinds of facilities, but this location is very, very bad in my view,” said City Counclman Rich Wagner, adding that the City should work with the Muckleshoot Tribe, “because if these guys are going around our corners, they’re probably going around the Tribe’s corners, too.”

Councilwoman Largo Wales said the situation reminded her of the City’s recent efforts to prevent King County from siting a waste transfer station in Auburn.

“I just feel, once again, we are dumped on,” Wales said.

Volunteers spruce up Pacific

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

City of Pacific volunteers chipped in last weekend, donating labor and a Saturday to help clean up their community in honor of Earth Day. The event, which Pacific Partnerships organized in conjunction with the City’s park board, drew volunteers to collect trash, weed, clean up and otherwise beautify the City’s 13 parks and numerous trails.

“We’ve always done the parks in this,” park board member DuWayne Gratz said. “The last few years we’ve done more with vendors and stuff being out here. This year it’s just us and the City. It’s more old school, how we did it years ago.”

Volunteers gathered at the Pacific/Algona Senior Center before being divided into teams and sent out to the parks to pick up trash, weed and perform a little upkeep on the recreational spaces.

Gathered trash was then transported to a Dumpster near City Hall, where it was collected for disposal.

The event featured a contest to see who could pick up the most trash.

Volunteers were treated to a free lunch after the morning’s labor.

On hand was City Engineer Jim Morgan, representing the Public Works

“The parks board and the City are just here to help and provide facilities,” Gratz said. “The whole thing is really being run by (community activist) Jeanne Fancher. She’s been going gangbusters organizing all this.”

“It’s as much a community get-together as anything,” Fancher said. “More important, it’s socializing, having

lunch together and building community and relationships. Hopefully, the people who had fun here will tell their friends. They may not come to Earth Day next year, but they may be more inclined to vote, become involved in the community and maybe come to a park board meeting. It’s also an opportunity for the park board to talk about parks.”

basketball club team championship run in the fifth-grade division at the King James Shooting Stars Classic tournament, April 2426 in Akron, Ohio.

The event, sponsored

by NBA superstar Lebron James, features the best club hoops teams in the country, including 72 teams in the 11U, fifth-grade division.

Among the 72 teams

in the division were 12 of the top-20 ranked teams in the nation, including six teams ranked in the top-10.

The Stars went 7-0 at the tournament, defeating the No. 2-ranked team – the Colonial Capital Basketball Club of Virginia – and the No. 4-ranked George Hill squad from Indiana, and vaulting into the No. 4 spot nationally.

“They all push each other and have a lot of fun.

And yet we work hard.”

Second on the team’s to-do list this season, finding success in the postseason.

Lorrain said the team is already beginning to fit together combinations

of doubles and singles teams that would have the most impact in the postseason tourneys.

“Now we work on strengthening our one and two doubles and solidifying who we’re going to put in singles,” Lorrain said. “We like to look beyond districts and on to state.”

Beyond the No. 1 doubles team of Andreotti and Kearney, nothing is set in stone.

The team has a corps of young players capable

ALSO: Auburn Riverside is in third place in the SPSL 3A, with a 7-3 league record, 8-4 overall. No. 1 singles player Jessica Fulford and the No. 1 doubles team of Carson Heilborn and Lindsey Sanborn lead the team. Auburn is in fourth-place in league with a 5-6 record. The Trojans are led by No. 1 singles Alyssa McMahon and the No. 1 doubles team of Kelsi Green and Mikah Loomis.

The Lions wrap up the regular season at 3:30 p.m. May 7 at Auburn Riverside High School.

The West Central District III 3A tournament is May 22-23 at the Sprinker Recreation Center in Tacoma.

For most of the season junior Leanna Harris has played at the No. 1 singles spot, but Lorrain said she is considering teaming her up with junior Sierra Silva, who competed at the state tourney last year with doubles partner Victoria Bolshakova, who is not with the team this year.

“At this point we’re looking at the postseason and where we’re going to put kids,” she said.

“Sierra was in state last year, but losing Victoria as a partner, we’re trying to decide whether to put her in doubles with someone else, or into singles. We have to look at the rest of the league and the south, those Vancouver teams. We have to spy on them. It’s all strategy and what the kids want too. It’s not all my decision. I ask them what they feel like they should do.”

Lorrain said she’s confident the team will make noise at the state level this season, and even more confident the team will hang its first banner in the Auburn Mountainview gym.

“We’re in the gym a lot, and I keep score for basketball and volleyball,” Lorrain said. “And the singer comes along, and we’re all looking up at the flag. And right next to the flag is the tennis
