Four bystanders helped a disoriented elderly man from his vehicle moments before a train struck and dragged his car down the tracks in Auburn late last Friday.

No one was hurt in the collision, the Valley Regional Fire Authority reported.

The four residents helped

the 76-year-old driver to a nearby home, where firefighters examined and treated him for non-lifethreatening injuries.

At 9:05 p.m., VRFA firefighters were dispatched to a serious car-versus-train collision on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks at Third Street Northwest.

Firefighters arrived to find one car that had been hit

and pushed approximately 150 feet down the northbound tracks.

The driver in the car was found on the front porch at a neighboring home in the 300 block of C Street Northwest.

Equipped with shovels, gloves and 700 plants, about 50 students from the Waskowitz Environmental Leaders School (WELS) in Burien recently spent a day replanting one mile of the western bank of the Green River in Auburn.

For the fourth consecutive year, WELS students coordinated with the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks under the direction of the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) to volunteer for the work as part of a curriculum that emphasizes environmental education and team building.

The site of the Nov. 23

planting event was the $17 million Reddington Levee Setback Project, completed in 2013 by the King County Flood Control District. “The Reddington Levee Setback Project was done to improve flood protection to hundreds of homes and businesses and is part of a larger overall flood risk reduction and corridor improvement strategy for the lower Green River,� said Flood Control District Chair Reagan Dunn. “We greatly value the environmental stewardship of the WELS students.� “The levee setback protects more than 300 residential properties, and 275 commercial properties, with a combined value of $680 million, plus

several major transportation corridors from Green River flooding,� said Flood Control District Supervisor Pete von Reichbauer. “The new levee increases the channel’s ability to move flood water and migrate within a broader corridor.�

Setting back the levee created a wider riparian corridor to form new channel patterns and complex salmon habitat that benefit from the vegetation planted.

The plants also control erosion along the bank, making it more stable and improving flood protection. An additional 3,200 plants will be planted by WCC crews throughout the entire project site this year.

SEN. PAM ROACH, R-Sumner, invites 31st Legislative District residents to join her Saturday for a town-hall meeting. It will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Sumner City Hall, 1104 Maple St. “There are a myriad of issues of importance to our communities,�

Roach said. “I always appreciate hearing from the public, particularly before a new legislative session.�

Additional parking, other new features come to high school

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn High School students were treated to a new feature when classes resumed Monday after Thanksgiving break.

A permanent parking lot.

Jeff Grose, Auburn School District’s executive director of capital projects, said the opening of the north lot has created 417 parking stalls and given the high school 618 spaces.

Before the project, there were 376 parking stalls.

In addition to providing more space for commuters attending events at the school’s Performing Arts Center and Auburn Memorial Stadium, Grose said the project comes with a variety of safety improvements and other amenities.

LED lights have been installed throughout the lot, and there are “definitive pedestrian parkways” leading to Auburn Memorial Stadium. Along with those enhancements, Grose said, disabled parking spaces have been expanded.

“We’re looking at a much safer improved parking lot,” he said.

Given the opening of the new lot, Grose said, the temporary parking facility along E Street Northeast will close. Grose said construction of eight new

tennis courts, to include a storage building, small bleachers, fencing, LED lights and a concrete practice wall, will begin at that lot as soon as the temporary parking lot is demolished. Because the coating used to seal those courts requires warmer weather, he said, that project is not scheduled for completion until next summer.

That is not the only project remaining at the school, which was rebuilt after voters approved a $110 modernization and reconstruction bond in November 2012. Synthetic turf is being installed on the high school’s baseball and fastpitch fields. A similar project is underway at Auburn Riverside High School.

Grose said baseball and fastpitch teams at Auburn and Auburn Riverside sometimes have had to play games at Auburn Mountainview, where synthetic turf fields were installed when the school opened in 2005, during inclement weather.

“Now, each high school has its own synthetic turf field,” Grose said. “They can get out there in any conditions and practice.”

He said those projects should be finished Feb. 16.

The first day of practice for baseball and fastpitch teams is Feb. 29.

City abatement pending on four properties

THE AUBURN TOURISM BOARD is seeking applicants for 2016 lodging tax grants, which are available for marketing and operating expenses of festivals and events designed to attract tourists, capital and/or operating costs of tourismrelated facilities owned by the City, and operating expenses of tourism-related facilities operated by 501c3 and 501c6 nonprofit organizations.

If awarded, grant funds must be used for activities, operations and expenditures designed to increase tourism.

Deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Dec. 18.

For more information or to receive an application, contact Debbie Luce at dluce@auburnwa. gov or 253-876-1978.

Debris-littered, weed wild, public nuisances.

That about sums up the wretched condition of four residential properties over which City staff expects on Dec. 7 to ask the Auburn City Council for abatement authority.

Abatement authority grants the City permission to step in, cut down, remove, tidy up, and otherwise de-disgustify such properties so that the mess doesn’t morph into a hazard to the properties around.

Part of the authority allows the City to board up unsecured windows or doors.

Such action only takes place after repeated efforts to get an owner to effect cleanup have failed. If the owner can be found, the City presents the cleanup bill to him or her. Additional efforts to comply are still available before expending funds on cleanup.

All four of the properties listed below are vacant and without a local person who is responsible for them: • 901 8th St. SE: A notice to correct (NTC) issued on Nov. 19, 2015, notice of civil penalty (NOCP) on Nov. 30, owner living in China.

• 31897 118th Place SE: an NTC issued Oct. 30, 2015, NOCP on Nov. 30, owner deceased.

• 1101 Pike St. NE: an NTC issued on Nov. 16 and an NOCP on Nov. 30, 2015, owner deceased.

• 1615 M St. NE. an NTC issued on Sept. 11 2015, an NOCP on Oct. 12, owner deceased. The loan servicing company is the responsible party.

Jeff Tate, assistant director of community development services for the City of Auburn, addressed council members on the subject of prior notification at Monday night’s study session: “Even though some of the notices do fall on deaf ears at times, we continue with other enforcement actions at the same time,” Tate said, adding that other notices include daily fines, and those come with an initial $500 fine and a $100 per day fine until the violation is remedied.

“Those are still softer costs, but these are liened against the property under a different recorded document than the hard cost incurred if we do have to clean up these properties,” Tate said.

They’re coming home.

O Q U O T E O F N O T E :

“We must ensure our country’s transportation infrastructure is ready to handle the demands of a 21st century economy, and we needed a longterm bill to do that.” – Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, on a newly-agreed upon, five-year transportation bill to boost funding for infrastructure and public transit programs in Washington state.

GUEST OP

When a higher wage just isn’t

MY TURN

Don C. Brunell

The news is full of organized protests and street demonstrations demanding a $15 minimum wage. Several cities across the nation have passed or are considering big hikes in their minimum wage.

SeaTac was the first city in our state to pass the $15 minimum wage, followed by Seattle and the University of Washington.

Washington, D.C., now has the nation’s highest “state” minimum wage at $10.50, followed closely by Washington state at $9.47.

Supporters say a $15 minimum wage will improve the lives of low-wage workers and boost the economy by putting more money in their pockets to spend in the local community.

But workers may not see the promised benefit to their bottom line.

Consider the restaurant industry.

Some restaurant owners subject to the higher minimum wage are banning tips on the theory that tips, which formerly supplemented low wages, are no longer necessary or appropriate. That will put a big hole in workers’ pockets.

Atlantic magazine reports that food servers in San Francisco average $13 per hour in tips, in addition to their $12.15 minimum wage. That results in a $25 hourly wage.

A national survey of 15,000 food service workers found that servers in Miami, Boston and San Francisco reported the highest median tips per hour at around $13. The lowest — around $7 — were in Minneapolis, Detroit and Seattle.

There’s another problem.

Tips, which can amount to up to 70 percent of a server’s income, often go unreported to the IRS. In fact, the Internal Revenue Service estimates that $11 billion in tip income goes unreported each year.

As higher minimum wage laws shift servers’ income from tips to wages, that income will now be reported by employers, and Uncle Sam will get his cut.

Schools contest poses unequal playing field I was not surprised to see the headline, “Valley Christian School captures Earning for Learning competition” (Nov. 27, Auburn Reporter), as going back many years Valley Christian has always won The Outlet Collection-sponsored competition.

While I hold nothing against this well respected school, the Nov. 27 story read more like an infomercial, and it did not even mention the other schools who placed in the competition.

Even more troubling to me are the contest rules, which would seem to favor the wealthy. The contest is for the most purchases at The Outlet Collection during the period of the contest. However, the contest has what many believe

In addition to actual purchases from stores in the mall, Visa gift cards can be purchased from the mall, which can then be used anywhere Visa is accepted.

To win the contest each year, parents purchase large volumes of these cards, and then use

these cards to pay school tuition, or other non-school expenses. Those with the most money to buy these cards win.

This scenario plays out year after year.

Kudos to parents who figured this out, but it virtually rules out a winner from our public schools, where most parents lack the resources to buy these Visa gift cards, which do nothing to stimulate sales for The Outlet Collection.

This is a great competition for our schools and children, but it’s time for a change in the rules to enable an equal playing field.

Reichert doesn’t support vets Congressman Dave Reichert recently voted against HR [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

A special tribute to our veterans, military Auburn’s Al Anderson, a Vietnam and Korean War veteran, recently teamed up with Sam Shakhramanov, store manager of Auburn Lowe’s Home Improvement, to honor veterans in a special way.

Their joint venture helped produce an inlaid wooden plaque – featuring all five U.S. Military Branch of Service Seals – which was placed on the front wall at Lowe’s and unveiled

shortly before Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

Vyron Kuver, an award-winning woodworking artist, carved the symbolic plaque.

Anderson, 77, a member of the Auburn American Legion Post 78 and Lake Washington VFW, and Shakhramanov supported the project.

“It’s a great way for our community to honor veterans. It’s just absolutely

outstanding,” Anderson said.

Shakhramanov and his store have been longtime supporters of veterans. The store maintains and reserves four parking spaces in front for veterans only.

“It’s truly an honor,” Shakhramanov said of the honorary plaque. “It’s the least we can do to honor our veterans and military men and women.”

There is another underreported aspect of some new minimum wage laws: the union exemption. Many ordinances passed to date, including SeaTac’s, specifically exempt employers from paying the higher minimum wage if they have a union contract. Many analysts believe that supporters like the powerful Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are pushing the higher minimum wage laws specifically to leverage employers into signing union contracts.

But union membership comes with union dues, money the unions spend to increase their political influence and power.

Bottom line: those dues come out of the workers’ pockets.

And finally, to benefit from a higher minimum wage, you must first have a job. And for many untrained young people, the $15 hourly wage is an insurmountable barrier.

Look at it from the employer’s perspective.

The only thing that offsets the time and money it takes to train a young worker is they earn less than experienced employees. Once they get training and experience, they can move up the ladder and command a higher salary.

Beautiful Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree Mighty Christmas Tree when you hear that buzzing sound it means they will cut you down Please don’t fall on me crack my crown break my knee hear me scream

Why would an employer hire an untrained, inexperienced person for $15 an hour when older, more experienced workers are pounding the pavement looking for work?

The youth unemployment rate is more than double that of adults.

Mandating higher wages will only make that situation worse.

More than half the counties in our state have unemployment rates above the national average – 184,000 people are jobless. If they can’t find work at $9.47 an hour, how will they find work at $15 an hour?

Finally, we wouldn’t be talking about mandating a higher minimum wage if the economy were in better shape. In a strong, vibrant economy, employers compete for workers with higher wages and better benefits.

The answer is not to mandate higher wages but to free private-sector employers from crushing taxes and costly regulations so they can expand and create the good-paying jobs millions of Americans want and need.

“In conjunction with other renovation plans for Les Gove Park, there’ll be new walkways and signs, and H Street will be extended beyond us. It’s all of a package.

It’s just fabulous timing that this unusually large granting opportunity became available.”

Dana Hinman, administrative officer for the City of Auburn, offered this update on the status of the City’s pending purchase of the old Public Health Building.

“We have a purchase-andsale agreement in hand from King County accepting our offer of $350,000,” Hinman said Tuesday. “That will be signed, sealed and delivered likely this week to the county,

Josef Forsberg, owner, president and partner in the business with his wife, Kyla, explained what they have in mind.

“We think we’re going to be a great stop for commuters headed for the train, which is just over there. It’ll be a great lunchtime place, a great place for recreational cyclists to stop on their way through town.

“We think it will be a great place to start your next adventure. A great place to come to on your way to work. And when you begin a bike ride, you can grab a cup of coffee or you can end up here when you’re finished and have a beer,”

so that will make it official; it will be our building. The Parks Department did receive the grant from 4Culture in the amount of $200,000, half of the purchase price, so that will go back into the building for tenant improvements. The Parks department is pursuing another grant, and all told with that grant, we’re in the neighborhood of $400,000 that will go back into the building.”

The unanimous vote allocates funding for maintenance, repairs, and preservation from the Building for Culture Program. Building for Culture, a partnership between King County and 4Culture, King County’s cultural services agency, uses bonds backed by the hotelmotel tax to build, maintain, expand, preserve, and improve new and existing cultural facilities.

It’s no secret, he said, that if a bicycle shop is to succeed today, it needs to offer something more than bicycles and bike accessories. And it needs, he said, to be community based.

“We want to be part of the community, a place for people just to come and hang out, talk about bicycles, whatever,” Forsberg said.

The cyclery’s focus will be on urban-, commuter-, touring-, and mountainstyle bikes, with a splash of high-end road bikes thrown in for good measure. It will offer, when possible, sameday service bike repair.

approved the creation of the Building for Culture Program, 4Culture put out a request for proposals to nonprofit arts, heritage and cultural organizations and eligible public agencies and owners of national-, state-, or local-designated or eligible landmark properties. 4Culture then convened independent peer panels composed of arts, heritage, and preservation professionals, and other community representatives to review applications and make the final selections.

Early retirement of the Kingdome debt makes the bonds supporting these projects possible. Part of a state law dating to 1967 requires that hotel-motel tax revenues King County collects this year after repayment of the Kingdome debt be directed to arts and cultural programs.

You get to meet different people every day, which I love, and I just love being creative making drinks.”

Forsberg, a 1996 Auburn High School graduate, comes to the business from 20 years in printing. The man under the racing cap, however, is also a lifelong cyclist with a history in bicycle advocacy. Kyla, whose background is in dog grooming, shares her husband’s passion for biking

Museum presents Small Works, Big Presents: The Gift of Art Each year before the holiday gift buying season, the White River Valley Museum mounts a juried show and sale of art by Northwest contemporary artists.

Now in its ninth year, Small Works Big Presents has attracted more than 40 artists working in a wide range of media.

From oil and pastel to sculptured plaster and textile arts, the spectrum is great. But the one thing they all have in common is their diminutive size: all pieces are 12 inches or less at their greatest dimension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With small scale art we find it easier for the modern collector or new art en-

thusiast to dive in and make a purchase of fine art,â&#x20AC;? said museum director Patricia Cosgrove.

Of the 248 pieces entered, 72 made it into the show selected by a jury composed of local practicing artist Mary Ellen Bowers, arts management consultant Miguel GuillĂŠn and Green River College photography instructor Gary Oliveira.

The City of Auburn Arts Commission and 4Culture provide monetary support, making possible the $1,900 in awards presented each year.

Small Works, Big Presents: The Gift of Art is on exhibit now through Dec. 20.

Sampler collects record totals STAFF REPORTS

The Corestar Pilatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eighth annual Thanksgiving Day Sampler, an exercise program and nonperishable food drive, was a big success, raising a record $1,150 and collecting two barrels of food donations, according to event organizers.

Corestar Pilates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in conjunction with the City of Auburn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; organized the two-hour exercise class on Nov. 26 at the Gymnasium at Les Gove Park. Proceeds benefited the Auburn Food

Most of all, a very big

thank you to our wonderful Corestar teachers, who are always there bright and early with a smile on their faces and a heart filled with joy to share what they love to do.â&#x20AC;?

Participants were asked to make a $15 donation and bring nonperishable food.

The benefit has grown in size and support each year.

Stoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio on Main Street attracted about 15 people and raised less than $50 in its first year.

Auburn Mountainview’s Ryan Lacey, who aims to become the first 1,000-point career scorer in program history, works with coach Thomas Ostrander during a recent practice.

RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

Leading guard Lacey sets sights on Lions’ records

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Motivation is not an issue for Auburn Mountainview senior Ryan Lacey.

He just thinks about his brother.

Through the first 10 seasons of the basketball program’s history, JJ Lacey ranks among the Lions’ career leaders in scoring and rebounding. Now, the 6-foot-3 guard aims to surpass his brother in both statistical categories.

“I’ve learned a lot from him,” Lacey said. “I owe a lot of the player I am to the type of person he is.

He’s taught me and he’s always pushed me. He’s set the bar for me to beat all of his records and accomplishments.”

Second-year Auburn Mountainview coach Thomas Ostrander thinks the younger Lacey could do even better.

“I think he’s got some natural motivation there just with the family rivalry,” Ostrander said.

“I think his brother would be the first one to cheer him on (because) he wants him to break his record.

He’s going to do it for sure.”

Lacey is a three-sport athlete

for the Lions. A standout wide receiver, he also plans to compete in baseball or track during the spring. But he considers basketball his primary sport.

Lacey’s father, Jeff, coached him and several other Auburn Mountainview players beginning in fourth grade. Lacey also got to practice against his brother, who graduated in 2013 and now plays basketball at George Fox University in Oregon.

If that were not enough for Lacey and his teammates, they only need to look at one date: Nov. 13. That is when Lacey and four teammates saw Auburn Mountainview’s football season end with a 42-7 setback at Eastside Catholic.

Lacey dreamed of helping the football team reach the Gridiron Classic at the Tacoma Dome. Now, he aims to get the basketball team into that venue in March.

“I think we have the pieces,” said Lacey, whose team finished with a 19-5 record in 2014-15. “It’s just a matter of if we execute it.”

That might not be an unrealistic proposition given that Auburn Mountainview captured the South [ more LACEY page 13 ]

Steiner named a finalist for prestigious award FOR THE REPORTER

Joe Steiner received wonderful news Monday when the 51-year-old jockey learned he is among five finalists for one of Thoroughbred racing’s most prestigious awards.

Steiner, Joe Bravo, Javier Castellano, Victor Espinoza and Gerard Melancon are the 2016 finalists for the Santa Anita George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award. Presented annually, the Woolf Award recognizes those riders whose careers and personal character earn esteem for the individual and the sport of Thoroughbred racing.

The winner will be announced in February following a vote of jockeys nationwide.

FOR THE REPORTER

Moose Jaw defeated Seattle 3-2 in overtime last Saturday night, snapping the Thunderbirds’ nine-game home winning streak at the ShoWare Center.

Noah Gregor scored the game-winning goal for the Warriors on the power play at 1:14 of overtime. Gregor beat Seattle goalie Logan Flodell from the right circle with a wrist shot. Dryden Hunt and Brett Howden had the assists.

The T-Birds tied the game 2-2 at 18:27 of the third period on a coast-to-coast goal from Mathew Barzal. Jared Hauf passed the puck from behind the Seattle net to Barzal in the right circle in the Seattle zone.

surroundings are familiar.

Lacey, who has an offer to play next season at Western Oregon, expects Auburn Mountainview to benefit from the “continuity” that comes from returning all but two players who graduated.

But if the Lions are going to achieve their goals, Lacey knows they will need more than that. While

Barzal carried the puck up the ice and split the Moose Jaw defense at the blue line. Barzal deked left and slid the puck under Moose Jaw goalie Zach Sawchenko for the tying goal.

Seattle (16-7-2-0) took a 1-0 lead at 5:33 of the second period on a power-play goal from Ryan Gropp. Barzal passed the puck from the right hash marks to Gropp in the right circle. Gropp took a wrist shot that beat Moose Jaw goalie Zach Sawchenko over the blocker. Ethan Bear had the second assist on the opening goal.

Moose Jaw (13-9-4-1) tied the game 1-1 at 11:57 of the second. The Warriors took a 2-1 lead at 6:10 of the third

Lacey credits his father for helping him develop strong decision-making skills on the court, he has had to work on driving to the basket.

“Ryan’s a complete player,” Ostrander said. “He’s an outstanding shooter and can rebound. We’ve worked a lot on him getting to the rim more and the free-

period on a power play goal.

Flodell had 20 saves and his record is now 10-4-2-0.

Sawchenko made 32 saves, improving his record to 105-2-1.

Gropp also had a goal and two assists, and Barzal had three assists to lead the T-Birds to a 5-3 win over the Vancouver Giants last Friday night at the ShoWare Center.

Seattle goalie Taz Burman had 21 saves on 24 shots.

The T-Birds’ next game is 7:05 p.m. Friday at the Spokane Chiefs. They return to the ShoWare Center on Saturday, December 5, to face the Tri-City Americans at 7:05 p.m.

throw line. Those are just easy ways to score points.”

Ostrander also praised the leadership qualities of Lacey, who maintains a 3.5 gradepoint average while taking three Advanced Placement courses. He said that sets an example for others to follow and enables Lacey to maximize his talent.

And become the first boys basketball player at Auburn Mountainview to score 1,000 career points.

“One thing that I really like about Ryan is he works extremely hard,” Ostrander said. “Everything that he’s gotten up to this point has definitely been earned.”

Puget Sound League 3A title with a 13-1 record last season. It was the first league championship in program history.

In addition to Lacey, the Lions return four other senior starters: guards Elijah Johnson, Ki’Jan Weisinger, and Robbie Wilson: and center Tristan Miguel.

“We’ve got a good core group coming back,” Ostrander said. “We’re excited for it. We’re ready.”

Regardless of where the Lions finish, the big stage is unlikely to faze Lacey. That is because he and Wilson were members of the Auburn team that advanced to the 2010 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. “I got to play seven nationally televised games,” said Lacey, who also visited Gettsyburg, of Civil War lore, with his family during the trip. “I played in two

state football games. I’ve played in big games, and I think all of that has shaped me as an athlete and person to excel in moments like we’ll see this year.

“That was the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Playing in front of 200 people in a small gym isn’t much.”

“Out of 13,000 jockeys in the country, I’m one of the five they picked,” Steiner said. “I was so surprised. What Steiner an amazing honor.”

Steiner has enjoyed an eventful year. Returning home to the Northwest after several years in Southern California, Steiner flourished at Emerald Downs, finishing fifth with 41 wins, including his 1,000th career victory on April 19.

Off the track, Joe and wife Dagmar celebrated the birth of son Jonah Michael Joseph in July, and the family has a new residence in Tacoma.

Steiner rode briefly this fall at Golden Gate but is back home and looking forward to the 2016 season at Emerald Downs.

“I feel great, and I’m having more fun now than I ever have in my whole career,” he said.
