The man whom King County Prosecutors say shot and killed two people in the parking lot outside the Sports Page Tavern two years ago pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday morning to two counts of second-degree murder.

Cleanthony Jimerson, 29, made his first court appearance at the Regional Justice Center in Kent after waiving extradition and agreeing to return to King County from the Texas jail where he was being held.

Jimerson, who himself was seriously wounded in the melee outside of the tavern, appeared in a wheelchair. Court records indicate friends of the two dead men, Nicholas Greer, 24, and Lorenzo Duncan, 23, shot Jimerson shortly after he allegedly stood above the men while they lay helpless on the ground and fired bullets into their heads and bodies.

His trial date is set for June 18 at the RJC. Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Berliner said that at trial she

[2] May 8, 2015 [ COLLEGE from page 1 ] parent-child education, the auto body technology, carpentry and geographic information systems programs could be eliminated to reduce a budget shortfall of $1.8 million to $5.2 million the college faces next year. Per their contract, faculty have 30 days to present suggestions that could save the programs.

During the 2013-2014 school year, it cost the college $36,615 to offer the parent-child education program. The college spent $88,332 on salaries, including a $6,773 coordinator stipend, while tuition from the program only brought in $51,716.

“Our whole goal was to see if we could find a model where we are operating in the black,” Brandes said.

Last week, Leslie Kessler, head of the parentchild education program, presented the college with

www.auburn-reporter.com a plan that would reduce program costs by offering fewer sections of the course while still serving the same number of participants.

Under the new operating model, six sessions of the course will be offered each quarter. In 2013-2014, an average of 10 sections were offered each quarter, serving a total of 451 students during the school year. Reducing the number of sections will bring the number of instructors needed down to two. At full capacity, six instructors taught the courses, Brandes said. With one retirement and having an instructor teach other courses in early childhood eduction, no instructors will lose their jobs because of the changes in the program structure, Brandes said.

“Due to some creative thinking and flexibility, we were able to make that work,” Brandes said. “I am very proud of (the faculty)

for coming up with a solution.”

Parent-child education is a unique program, Brandes said, in that it isn’t a typical degree program, but more of a community service the college provides to help

NOW OPEN! Act Now – Cottages Filling Quickly

equip parents in caring for and teaching their children.

The parent-child education program works in conjunction with cooperative preschools in the area. When parents enroll their child in one of the preschools, they also sign up for the course through Green River.

The courses teach parenting skills and set parents up to be involved in their child’s education. Kessler said many parents who have taken the class are actively involved in organizations like the PTA when their children get older.

Brandes said the col-

lege has received several letters each day from past participants attesting to the program’s value.

“Of all the proposed cuts, this program generated the most concern from the community,” he said.

“People did not want to see us let go of the program.”

This is not the first time Kessler has had to modify the program. She said that in 2011 she had to reduce the number of sections offered.

Parent-child education is a tuition-waived program, so parents pay a minimal cost to the college. The college receives state funding to cover some program costs.

Having fewer instructors for the program means that they will devote less time to working with the children in the preschools, Kessler said.

“While I am glad to save the program, I am not glad to have to cut back,” she said.

Other programs As of Wednesday, no other plans to save additional programs had been presented to college officials.

Kessler, who is a member of the college’s Instructional Council, said faculty are working together to try to come up with solutions.

Students, faculty and community members filled the Auburn City Council chambers Monday night in hopes of garnering support from the City to save the programs. More than 15 attendees, including Kessler, addressed the council during the public comments section of the meeting.

Following nearly an hour of public comment, Mayor Nancy Backus thanked the overflow crowd for attending the meeting and speaking on behalf of their programs. She said she was aware of the pending program cuts and has been in contact with college officials.

“We do not have any direct control over Green River Community College,” she said. “That does not mean, however, that we do not engage in conversations.”

She urged those present to take advantage of the 30-day period to come up with solutions to save the programs.

“I am available to help in any way I can with creative thinking,” she said. “I do encourage you all to be doing exactly what you did tonight and come together and work on creating ideas for keeping these programs going.”

Church elder: More needs to be done for homeless

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

In early April, Brocc Snyder, an elder with Calvary Presbyterian Church in Enumclaw asked the City Council to change an ordinance that he said would allow a tent city to be set up in Auburn.

Even more boldly, in late April he asked that the City donate a piece of property where such an encampment could be built.

Snyder noted that he works with Community Outreach in Auburn, has a human services degree from

ROAD REPORT: HEMLOCK STREET

Highline Community College, has been for six months a volunteer intern at Mary’s Place in Seattle and has remodeled homeless day and night shelters.

“I know what works with homeless people. I don’t know everything, but I know some of the answers, and I would not propose anything I am not willing to follow up on and ensure that it works,” he said.

For 15 years, Snyder and his wife, Lynne, have helped run the Thursday night Auburn Community Feeding Program.

In that time, the husband and wife team say they have seen a steep increase in the number of homeless people that they feed.

People who are not safe at night from robbery or assault.

Lynne Snyder also addressed the council.

“We’ve seen the numbers go from a handful of people, maybe 10 or less 10 years ago, to maybe 100 every week that we feed every Thursday. … There are growing numbers, and they just don’t have shelter,” Lynne Snyder said.

She acknowledged that the City

of Auburn does do a lot for its homeless population, providing care and setting aside money in its budget. But the rising number of homeless presents a new challenge.

“Help us figure out what more we need to do,” Lynne Snyder said.

“The numbers are not increasing because we are a magnet (for the homeless) and we do so much; they’re increasing because of the increasing disparity between how much people make and how much housing costs.”

BRUSH UP

From Monday, May 11, to Thursday, May 14, construction work will require closure of Hemlock Street Southeast at Auburn Way South during work hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to allow for demolition and clearing of property at the intersection. Detour routes will be posted. For more information, contact the City of Auburn Community Development and Public Works Department at 253-931-3010.

Public art?

Taxpayers’ money not well spent In the discussion about spending $18,000 of taxpayers’ money to paint trees on a water tank, it seems City Council members and City staff have failed to address two important issues.

First, should taxpayers’ money be spent on public art that will be seen by only a few neighbors? Public art should be placed where many members of the public can view it. This is a terrible precedent in Lakeland Hills.

Is it now City Council policy to spend taxpayers’ money on public art specifically designed to benefit a few homeowners because they say they want it to improve their view?

Second, is this even allowable under the law? Since the $18,000 is part of funding for

Remembering mom on this special weekend Like millions of others, on Sunday, Mother’s Day, I will remember my own mother.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 22. 1929, she grew up in Oroville, Wash., one of four children of an apple orchard owner and his wife.

She died at home in Auburn of cancer on May 21, 2006.

Between those poles, Irene Whale lived a good life, had six children

(wanted eight) and enjoyed a passel of grandchildren.

As the years since her death continue to bank up, what strikes me more and more is how complex she was.

PERSPECTIVE

www.auburn-reporter.com Last week’s poll results:

Green River College has always been and remains to be a valuable part of the communities it serves.

There has been speculation that the recent change in the college’s name means that there has been a change in the mission of the school. The name change at Green River signifies the commitment the college has made to its students, community and business partners. This commitment is evidenced by the year-long process of consideration of the name change, which involved town-hall meetings and input from students, faculty, staff and community members.

As a community college, Green River has an open-enrollment policy. This means that the college educates community members from every walk of life.

The college offers a variety of programs, from trades to health care, aviation to business, and liberal arts transfer curriculum.

All of the offerings at Green River are programs that fulfill the educational needs of our communities, satisfying the demand for welleducated, highly-trained individuals. While the college strives to serve the greatest number of community members, from a financial standpoint, it cannot be everything to everyone.

Funding for public education remains a challenge at every level in the state of Washington, and Green River College is no exception. However, the administration has worked very hard to maintain staffing levels and grow the school while remaining responsible stewards of the public trust.

While other colleges within Washington’s community and technical colleges have closed more than 560 programs since 2009, Green River College has sustained programs.

Unfortunately, the college cannot continue to support programs that have high costs or low enrollments.

Things I once could have chatted with her about over lunch or a cup of coffee.

Some things my mother kept to herself, and that makes it harder to write about her than of my father.

Where he was effusive, emotional, and on the surface, she knew how to fold herself up as quickly and neatly as a tortilla.

The “do not tread” signs were kindly put up, but they were firm.

from using water or sewer rates to create “back door tax hikes” by boosting utility fees to raise money for uses other than maintaining the utility. I fail to see how painting pretty trees on a water tank is required to maintain the city’s water system.

If the City has $18,000 or more in surplus utility fee revenues not needed for system maintenance, then perhaps the City is charging us too much and council members might consider adhering to the spirit and intent of the law and reduce our water rates.

If the Lakeland Hills neighbors want to enhance their views and maintain their property values, I’m sure the City would welcome their personal donations to pay for decorating the water tank.

the Lake Tapps Community FACT: Since April 1, the available flows in the White River have dropped far below even the lowest historically recorded levels. Average historic flows have been above 1,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) above Mud Mountain Dam. This year the White River flows are at 700750 cfs, the lowest flows in 22 years of record keeping.

FACT: Cascade is legally permitted to only take water from the White River, the source of Lake Tapps, when flows exceed the minimum flow required in Cascade’s state issued water rights. This year’s historic low flows limit the amount Cascade can divert into the reservoir.

Our new flume can take up to 150% of what is allowed. At present, there is no excess water to divert.

FACT: Projections that the reservoir would be filled by Memorial Day were based on assumptions of less than average flow conditions, but nowhere near the extreme conditions now being experienced. In a normal year, the reservoir would have been filled by May 1.

FACT: We have our crews available 24 hours a day to divert as much available water into the reservoir as fast as possible. A typical day includes four to six diversion adjustments, many taking place between 9 pm and 4 am. Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating.

FACT: Such potential occurrences were even considered and included in the Cascade’s 2009 agreement with the Lake Tapps Community, which states “. . . operational variances may be required due to forecasts or available precipitation, under the terms and conditions of the Water Rights.”

FACT: Cascade is in constant discussions with regulatory and other partners to determine if there is any other option available for filling the lake. This includes working to restock the lake with fish once the reservoir is full. The drought has affected everyone.

FACT: Cascade will continue working hard, and do everything we can to refill Lake Tapps.

We value the friendships and relationships we have built with the Lake Tapps community over the years and ask for your continued patience and support.

An Open Letter to For the first time since 2007, when Puget Sound Energy still operated Lake Tapps, the reservoir will most likely not be filled to recreational levels by Memorial Day. As the owner and operator of the reservoir since 2009, we value our relationship with the community and we take our agreements with you seriously. However, this is an extraordinary year, and we appreciate your patience.

Cascade purchased the century-old, 12-mile long White River /Lake Tapps Reservoir project that takes water from the White River brings it into the reservoir and back out to the White River. Many parts were failing. The following facts provide you with an update about the system, its fixes and its future.

FACT: For the next 30 to 40 years, Cascade will be operating this system to provide recreational reservoir levels solely for your benefit while meeting regulatory and operational requirements.

FACT: The system included a failing timber flume and headgates. The facilities that release water from the lake needed to be assessed and repaired. A dike required a seismic retrofit. The Washington State Dam Safety Office requires that Cascade be able to take a certain flow rate from the reservoir and we could not assure that we could do that to protect homeowners in case of earthquake or emergencies.

FACT: If Cascade had not planned for and undertaken these projects, and if the headgates or timber flume had failed, Cascade would not have been able to divert water into the reservoir for a minimum of 18 months, resulting in the likely loss of two complete recreational seasons. This is a once in a 30 to 40 year repair project.

FACT: The design, planning and bidding for the 16 project $15 million upgrade began in December 2013 and was successfully completed March 16, 2015 ensuring long-term viability of the reservoir.

FACT: There has been historically low precipitation, which is required to fill the reservoir.

The situation is so severe that the Governor has declared a drought emergency in many areas of the state, including east Pierce County.

State funding at Green River College has steadily declined.

In the 2009-2010 school year, state funding accounted for 66.6 percent of Green River College’s annual budget. By this year, that percentage shrunk to 48.8 percent.

In 2011, the Legislature passed a two-year, 3-percent cut in compensation for state employees, including community college faculty and staff. Green River College made a decision during these difficult budget times to maintain programs and staff without layoffs. In fact, classified staff was the only employee group at Green River to take a salary cut, as mandated by the state Legislature.

Maintaining staffing levels was possible, during this period, because the college experienced a sharp increase in enrollment, from under 5,500 state-funded full-time equivalent students in 2009 to more than 6,500 in 2011.

In 2013, the Legislature allocated funding to restore the 3-percent salary reduction. Since classified employees had taken a 3-percent pay reduction in salaries, they received a 3-percent restoration last summer. But this was not new money. Instead, the restored funds brought the budget back to the 2011 baseline.

As more jobs become available, enrollment drops at community colleges. As cities and businesses across the nation have experienced during difficult economic times, Green River College has an ongoing responsibility to be fiscal stewards of taxpayer dollars and work within the confines of the budget.

The notice given about the possibility of eliminating programs was provided to programs with low enrollments, or those that cannot sustain themselves financially. While we all wait to see what the Legislature will decide on education, the fact remains that the college must make

Leslie Kessler, chair of the Green River College Instructional Council and Early Childhood Education faculty, met with Dr. Derek Brandes, vice president of instruction on May 1, and proposed a solution that will allow parent-child Education to remain open at the college and reduce the costs for the program.

[ SHOOTINGS from page 1 ] expects to amend the charges to two counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors have also charged Jimerson, a convicted felon at the time of the shootings, with one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

The King County Prosecutor’s office in late April formally charged Jimerson with two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Lindsay, 24, 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 bullet, fired by an as-yet unknown person, probably killed Greer.

Bail remains at $5 million.

Defense attorney Teri Rogers Kemp asked in court that the media not be allowed to photograph Mr. Jimerson in any way so as not to prejudice a poten-

tial jury pool. The judge, after weighing the request, finally allowed photos to be taken of the wheelchairbound Jimerson below the shoulders, leaving photographable the patch of his red jail shirt visible between the leather back of the chair and the seat.

Supporters and family of Mr. Jimerson reacted when Ms. Berliner claimed that he, Jimerson had admitted to shooting one of the victims.

“What? What?!” a woman’s voice cried out.

“She’s lying!” another said of the prosecuting attorney.

Rogers Kemp asked that the judge not consider the claim of admission.

According to what witnesses told detectives, the argument that led to

the fatal shootings started between two women on the tavern’s dance floor, one of them among the group that numbered Duncan, Lindsay and Greer.

The physical fight began outside in the parking lot, five minutes after closing, as about 100 patrons milled out and security got busy directing people to their cars to clear the lot.

Loud talk outside from one of the women involved in the previous argument led to a fistfight between 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 for real, 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 had shot and killed the two men.

“And when I look at the outcomes for children with autism when they entered the school system 20 years ago, and I look at what the outcomes are for those children when they’re in the program, it just inspires me to see the difference that early intervention makes. A big part of that is that they are with normally functioning peers.”

palooza festival is at Game Farm Park on May 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It kicks off with the Dog Trot 3K/5K Fun Run. The free event features live entertainment including, among others, The Parrot Lady and Northwest Animal Adventures.

Petpalooza includes pony rides, camel rides, the “Unleashed” Pet Contest, an agility area, demonstrations and more than 150 vendors.

Vendors will include nonprofit organizations and rescues, such as the Auburn Valley Humane Society, Wolf Haven International and Smidget Rescue.

You’ll also see a variety of local and regional handcrafted artwork, featuring an assortment of animal-related items.

Also to be seen are service vendors, such as veterinarians, groomers and trainers, such as Family Dog Training Center and All Dogs Training Services.

Attendees will see a variety of commercial vendors such as Pet Pros, Protec Pet Health and Sojos Pet Foods.

Offered throughout the event is a local competition of the 2015 Hyperflite Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships. Hyperflite’s

sponsorship of the Skyhoundz Canine Disc World Championship series is the largest disc-dog series in the world. There is no entry fee for competitors, and admission is free for all spectators (www.hyperflite.com/competition.html).

Back again is the widely popular 20-by-40-foot petting zoo, a Kids’ AG-Ventureland Activity Area, GASCAR Crazy Animal Racing and Farmyard Follies Shows, all contracted through the Great American Animal Entertainment Co..

The petting zoo is a different kind of petting zoo. There are no barriers inside the enclosure, and all the animals run freely with the public. The zoo includes a wide variety of animals, such as wallabies, llamas and exotic goats.

The AG-Ventureland includes goat and cow milking, corn and bean play boxes, pony saddling and more.

The exciting GASCAR races is inter-species animal racing like you’ve never seen before. Goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and other surprise animals wear racing silks as they hoof and waddle [ more PETPALOOZA page 13 ]
