Police make arrests tied to arson spree BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Police and prosecutors say they’re confident they’ve got the people behind most of the 25 fires attributed to the arsonist who set the Auburn community on edge between September and early January. And on Tuesday, the King County Prosecutor formally charged 22-year-
old Michael Austin McGrath of Auburn with one count of first-degree arson and four counts of second-degree arson. McGrath’s arraignment is Feb. 1 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. He is in jail on $350,000 bail. Police arrested McGrath in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), the FBI, the Valley Regional Fire Authority
and other agencies and brought him into custody shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, hours after the reporting of two more north-end fires that had broken out within 15 minutes of each other. No one was injured in the most recent fires, which damaged a boat and an occupied home. [ more ARRESTS page 8 ]

Molly Venzke has personally helped Federal Way girls break the hold of sex trafficking. “I (recently) got a text from a friend of mine,” said Venzke, an Auburn resident who works at the Federal Way Christian Faith School. “A friend of hers was approached by a gentleman at work.” The woman’s low-paying job and lack of a work visa didn’t qualify her for the job this “gentleman” was saying she could get. “He started talking to her, saying he has a great opportunity for her,” Venzke said. “If she just comes with him, meets and goes to this location, there will be work for her. It was completely bogus.” Venzke said that if the woman had gone, she wouldn’t have been seen again.

Rolling oil trains raise local safety concerns BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Mile-long behemoths pulling tank cars freighted with millions of gallons of volatile shale oil from the fields of North Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming.
Every day, trains hauling the black, cigar-shaped cars clatter along the tracks through Auburn and other cities of King County, bearing cargo as flammable as gasoline, on their way to refineries up north.
While the odds of a derailment or explosion in Auburn, emergency personnel familiar with the issue say, are about equal to those of a person winning a Powerball, as

More rain and sun breaks are forecast for the valley this weekend. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
By February 9th VOTE
City leaders will sit down at their study session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26 to discuss and then vote on whether to purchase the old Public Health Building on Auburn Avenue North from King County. Administrator Dana Hinman said the purchase and development agreement is likely to land on the council’s agenda for its first meeting in February. If signed, it would then return to the King County Council for final action. Should the deal work out, the arts division of the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department will occupy most of the space. The City already has a grant application into King County’s 4Culture for up to half of whatever the purchase price would be for improvements. “So, it’s not only an opportunity to purchase but to have a nice outside cash flow to make the improvements we want. We are going to run some art space out of there,” Hinman recently told the
Auburn Reporter. The building started out life in 1937 as the Auburn Post Office. King County acquired it in 1963 when the new post office was built. In 2009, King County put the Carnegie building up for sale on the open market. Asking price – about $620,000. At the time, the City, in its determination to lease the building, consistently reminded county leaders why Andrew Carnegie had built and donated it in the first place, and what he intended it to stay in perpetuity – a general community benefit. That was a bit more than what the City was offering to lease it for at the time – the same one buck King County had acquired it for. Despite the chill that descended over negotiations with the county, City leaders kept at it behind the scenes. The City of Auburn late last year submitted a letter of intent to purchase. Auburn Economic Development Director Doug Lein has been in close contact with King County’s real estate division.

Using all the wrong words leaves me speechless I read a columnist somewhere last week and learned I am more out of touch with reality than my daughter, Katy, has led me to believe. I admit I don’t remember who the columnist was or where I read it, but I am sure I am not making this up, whatever it is, because I don’t understand it. Let’s delve into it. I have been using all the wrong words for longer than I can remember, which isn’t long, but it must be awhile – I think. I am trying to be very careful not to use the wrong word so this column may be very short – depending of course on … it, whatever … it … the bad word that is … is. Back to the subject, apparently there is a snotty, spit barrel full of words I have unknowingly been hacking up when I talk and write. The problem is I can’t say what the words are because if I do, an inappropriate word ticket will arrive in the mail with a picture attached of my infraction and my insurance rates will go through the … high thing over my head. I think the R-word was on the “if you say that word, we will all begin whispering about you” list. The columnist spewed out a docket of “do not dare say this or that” to be afraid of … and I am now duly afraid of … it … whatever it … the bad word that is … is. Earlier today, I was driving to the office in Covington and a song inadvertently came out of my radio. It was a hit song in the early ’60s when hair was popular. I heard the first line of the lyrics and panicked. I nearly drove off into a muddy field of prepositions without directional objects. After calming myself, I checked my rear view mirrors for the enforcement clauses. I appeared to have escaped a very close call. I decided it would be a good exercise to rewrite the lyric with the proper properlyness to help us all learn and be smiley. The song begins like this: Something I’m not suppose to say, something not suppose to say … “Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot”… more things I’m not suppose to say. The something I’m not supposed to say is easy pleasey. I’m pretty sure yellow polka dot is reason for uppity buckets of snorts and snarfs. Bitsy teenie weenie is likely going to make someone want to chase me with a 10-pound dictionary that has never been opened.

Soon your mail-in ballot will arrive for consideration of a four-year Educational Programs and Operations Renewal Levy. This is not a new tax. It replaces an expiring four year levy. The local levy funds student-centered programs that include smaller class size, athletics and activities, the arts and music, technology like robotics, accelerated learning, specialized instruction, and extended day learning. It also funds maintenance and operations that protect the public investment in district facilities. 15,000 ASD students are relying on the continued tradition of public support for local levies. Three years ago, the State Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature is not funding schools at a constitutional level, and it continues not to do so, despite multiple court sanctions imposed on the Legislature. Consequently, local levies are even more essential to fund schools. Most of us have benefited from a public school education. It is time to pay it forward to the next generation.

My school tax bill remains level Jeanne Herold should have an answer to her comment on school taxes (“Enough: vote no on school levy”, Jan. 8, Auburn Reporter). I stated that voting for the replacement levy would not increase your school taxes. Here is a record of my school taxes for the last five years:
2010: $1,624.93 2011: $1,876.63 2012: $1,584.83 2013: $1,483.39 2014: $1,541.12 2015: $1,817.67. Thus, my highest tax year was 2011. Thus, the total school tax remains level. The amount of my tax is based on the assessed evaluation of my property. The rate for 2017 is $4.13 per thousand of the assessed valuation of my property. If the value of property taxes goes up or down, that determines your school bill. – Harold B. Valentine
Reichert acts quickly to support families With so much attention being given to the growing number of people with Alzheimer’s disease in Washington state, I’m grateful that our Congressman, Dave Reichert, has cosponsored a bill that will help them and their families. This is particularly important for me as I was diagnosed with Younger Onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2013 at the age of 52, and have been living with the increasing effects of this terminal disease ever since. This disease has taken away my ability to perform the work I love as a Physical Therapist, and will continue to have a devastating effect on my family. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] The HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act is a bill to provide better care coordination planning after a Medicare beneficiary receives an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

In fact, the Alzheimer’s Association last March released a report showing that only 45 percent of the people diagnosed with the disease are actually told of
Trains hauling crude oil from Canada and the Northern Plains are among the heaviest on the rails today, many extending more than 100 cars in length and weighing a cumulative 19,000 tons or more. Such trains have raised local concerns about rail and public safety. PHOTO COURTESY, Harvey Henkelmann volatile crude oil coming out of the shale. And if a train does catch on fire, they know now that it’s highly flammable, in fact, far more flammable than what crude oil used to be,” Gerber said. Information such as how many trains pass through a city like Auburn every day and when they will come through the railroads consider proprietary and something that needs to be hidden for public safety, said Auburn Traffic Safety Engineer Joe Welsh. According to the Association of American Railroads, some 400,000 carloads of crude oil traveled by rail in 2013 to the nation’s refineries, up from 9,500 in 2008, In the spring of 2014, the State of Washington issued its Marine and Rail Oil Transportation Study. Gov. Jay Inslee read the report, got on television,
and declared, “we need oil train safety.” The feds stepped in and said, “we need to start talking about rail safety and regulations.” There was talk of 25 to 30 more oil trains a day headed to refineries up north for off-loading, refining and shipping oil to overseas markets. Time out, said influential voices, including that of Auburn City Councilman Bill Peloza, we need to look at this. His attention was riveted to the issue by newspaper editorials in 2014 and by his own extensive research. What Peloza has done since is raise concerns about possible effects on public safety, water resources, the environment, the economy and traffic.

Fortunately for me, my neurologist was quick to make a clear diagnosis of Alzheimer’s after appropriate testing, but I know many others who have waited years for a proper diagnosis. One reason is that physicians are not properly reimbursed for taking the time to sit down with the patient and family to help them through this difficult news of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. This bill would cover that
time, and also launch an effort to educate physicians about the new coverage. Congressman Reichert wisely recognizes this is a problem and that Congress needs to respond. Now let’s hope the rest of the Congress approves this needed legislation in 2016. – Nancy Johnson

And we can partner with that.” As Gerber emphasized, the VRFA is a small town fire department, not a big city agency like Seattle or Tacoma. “So for us, we call upon all of our help around through our automatic mutual aid agreements, but that’s going to be exhausted the minute something big happens. And then we’re going to go to the county level, and they’re going to start allocating resources from all the different fire zones. We’re going to end up with hazmat teams and fire suppression equipment, and everything we can do in the initial stages to prevent whatever further damage is going to occur,” Gerber said. “We run an evacuation scenario in almost every exercise we do through Auburn’s Emergency Management Office or Pacific’s or anybody else’s. And the reason we do that is familiarity with evacuation plans is something that nobody ever practices. We want law enforcement and us to be on the same page when it comes to it,” Gerber said.

singer Elvis Costello famously noted, “accidents will happen.” In July of 2014 a runaway train carrying 30 cars of Bakken crude oil crashed and burned down the town of Lac Mégantic in Quebec, Canada, killing 47 people. In 2009 a train carrying ethanol derailed and blew up, killing one person in Cherry Valley, Ill. The National Transportation Safety Board declared that the design of the tank cars made them “subject to damage and catastrophic loss of hazardous materials.” On Dec. 30, 2013 a train carrying crude oil derailed in Casselton, N.D., causing violent explosions and a hazardous plume of smoke. Hazard by rail isn’t something new to the fire service — it has been a concern since train number one lumbered down the tracks. The new reality, however, emergency personnel in Auburn say, represents a sizable amplification of hazmat by rail. “What we’re talking about with the crude oil is massive quantities of a flammable product, moving through what are essentially urbanized areas, like downtown Seattle or through our corridor here,” said Valley Regional Fire Authority Chief Mike Gerber. “The difference of that versus the occasional train that goes through hauling an industrial chemical, or chlorine, or whatever is that these things are giant. They’re a mile long, full of millions of gallons of this
Cantwell. In 2014, the King County Council directed its office of emergency management to run a tabletop scenario to see what a worst-case, worst-place scenario would look like. The scenario was that a mile-long train, headed north on the tracks, had derailed at the boundary between Tukwila and Seattle along Interstate 5, just to the side of West Marginal Way where the Duwamish River runs through. “It became apparent quickly that nobody by themselves has the capability to respond to one of these large oil train disasters,” Gerber said. “You know, dozens of cars involved. And nobody ever will. It’s going to be a regional effort. It’s going to be an effort between public and private partnerships. “And that’s what we work off of today,” Gerber said of the City of Auburn’s emergency management plan. All the agencies involved in the exercise agreed that writing a plan for this specific incident may or may not be of value. “We said it’s hazmat by rail, it’s just a big quantity of it,” Gerber said. “If it tips and spills, it’s a hazardous material spill, and we’re going to have to bring in the Department of Ecology and
[8] January 22, 2016 Also, detectives late last Friday developed sufficient information to find probable cause to arrest a 16-year-old boy, McGrath’s cousin. Police said the boy was involved in at least six intentionally-set fires, two of which targeted occupied residences. He was booked into the King County Juvenile Detention Center for first-degree arson. Both individuals worked together and separately on several arsons, police said. Auburn Police learned this information while trying to verify details obtained during McGrath’s arrest. Auburn Police say McGrath, whom they suspect of setting at least 18 fires in Auburn since September, is “an admitted drug user,” whose drug use “makes him feel invincible, causing him to set structure fires.” Between October and November, 11 residential structures were intentionally set, according to VRFA reports. Non-structural fires were also intentionally set along the Interurban Trail or involved Dumpsters and flags. The occupied residential structure fire for which Mc-
Grath is charged with firstdegree arson occurred on Jan. 13 at 1231 43rd St. NE. The four counts of seconddegree arson are linked to fires on Nov. 8 and Nov. 13, and two on Jan. 13. All of the affected structures were clustered on the north end of the city, where McGrath lives. Most of the fires were set between 6 and 11 p.m., and appeared to be random, investigators concluded. Nobody was hurt, but in some cases structures sustained significant damage. According to the Auburn Police Department’s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause, on which the prosecutor is basing its case, during the Nov. 8 fire, which was localized to a large detached garage, a police officer contacted a man in a camouflage jacket who rode up on a gray mountain bike. “The male verbally identified himself as Michael McGrath … Michael’s behavior was strange. He would not make eye contact with me, and when I asked him what he was doing or where he was going, he would not provide specific answers,” the officer reported. Auburn Police Cmdr.
Mike Hirman said that McGrath left an identifiable fingerprint on an automobile following a Nov. 19 fire that damaged a home and surrounding property. According to police, a warrant was written and served on Dec. 2 to begin collecting location data of McGraff ’s cellphone. An ATF agent offered police the general characteristics of a serial arsonist: an 18-28-year-old man, solitary and a poor communicator, who has engaged in minor crimes in their past – typically trespassing, vehicle prowl, burglary and minor sex offenses – has a hidden deformity that would lead to social insecurity, and has recently sustained an emotional triggering event.
‘Fits the profile’ According to what police wrote in the CDPC, “McGrath fits the profile of a serial arsonist. (He) grew up in the 2400 block of N Street Northeast and is presently believed to be transient in that area. Several clusters of fires are within a few blocks of 2400 N St. NE. Michael’s
girlfriend … (lives) within a few blocks of other fire clusters.” Also, his address and that of his girlfriend back up to the Reddington trail, a foot and bicycle path that runs along the west side of the Green River and is designed only for pedestrian and foot traffic, and McGrath is known to ride a bicycle, according to the CDPC. Police said they identified emotional events in McGrath’s life that triggered the arsons identified above, including conflicts with his girlfriend. At 2 a.m. on Jan. 14, having received the report of the two fires, a police officer reviewing the location data learned that McGrath’s phone placed him at both fire scenes even before they had been reported to the VRFA or to Auburn Police. “On one of those vehicles we lifted a print and found that the latent print belonged to one of the persons of interest that we had already identified,” Hirman said. “The difficulty, of course, was that it was on the outside of the car, and that could easily be

explained. We then set up, through the assistance of the ATF, electronic surveillance of this individual and monitored his movements and activities.” During the interview after his arrest, according to police, McGrath admitted to having set numerous fires spanning Sept. 19 and Jan. 14.
“We identified evidence that links that suspect to those locations, and we’re happy to say … we arrested that individual, and he is in custody at this time,” Hirman said. “We’re hoping that these fires stop now.” McGrath’s rap sheet includes past charges of second-degree burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, assault and harassment.

Auburn Goodwill sports a new look and more convenience for customers to find treasures. The retail thrift store and donation center, a community fixture for many years at 1519 Auburn Way S., reopened Thursday with a new design, part of the regional company’s push to improve the customer shopping experience. The 18,257-square-foot Auburn outlet is one of three Goodwill retail stores – Tacoma and Federal Way are the others – that opened this week with new signage, floor layouts and other shopper-friendly features. Other Goodwill stores will follow. The company’s new design will expand to stores throughout 15 counties in southwest Wash-
ington and the Olympic Peninsula over the next four years. “It’s been awhile since we’ve changed our look. It’s a whole different feel. It’s been long overdue in the (Auburn) community,” said Terry Hayes, CEO of Goodwill. “We wanted to have a store that’s more appealing to our customers, making it easier for them to find bargains and look at the merchandise that’s so unique. We felt that would be helpful to them and helpful to us in the process.” Goodwill’s new layout features more organization and visible non-stacked merchandise.

The Auburn School Board recently presented the Gold Star Volunteer Award to Hugh Hoover and Steve Ray for their work in the classroom. Bringing 80 years of computer programming experience with them, Hoover and Ray volunteer from 7:30 to 9 a.m. every day at Auburn High School in Scott McLaughlin’s Advanced Placement computer science course. Brought in through Microsoft’s Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS) program, Hoover and Ray agreed to a two-year stint to prepare McLaughlin to teach computer programming. “When we started last year, Scott couldn’t spell programming,” Ray joked. During the 2014-15 school year, Hoover and Ray taught the students and McLaughlin observed. During this school year, McLaughlin has taken over teaching while Hoover and Ray augment and help as needed. It’s a big time commitment in which both men strongly believe. The goal is to familiarize students with computer programming and provide the knowledge so McLaughlin can successfully teach without their

Dog flu may be on the rise in King County FOR THE REPORTER
Health officials in Seattle are warning that a new strain of dog flu, which has sickened at least 2,000 dogs in 25 states since last spring, may be in King County. Since it is a novel virus, all dogs, regardless of breed or age, are at risk of infection when first exposed. The virus is highly contagious, and dogs get sick easily. Symptoms include

This strain of canine influenza isn’t deadly, but it can cause a secondary infection like pneumonia, which can kill dogs. Just like with human flu, the virus can be spread by direct contact, contaminated objects such as hands, surfaces, clothing, etc., and through droplets in the air, which may travel up to 20

Boeing in Puget Sound
Boeing moves into its second century Staying competitive a key focus for 2016
B
oeing wrapped up a strong performance in 2015 with a record number of airplanes produced and many other accomplishments. But its centennial year will be challenging with a major focus on being more competitive seen as key to the company’s long-term success. Thanks to a tremendous team effort, in 2015 Boeing produced a record 762 commercial airplanes. In 2014 the company delivered 723 airplanes – the previous year, 648. Climbing this hill was not easy, and the entire company takes pride in this achievement, which leads the industry. Other accomplishments in 2015 include building the first 737 MAX, achieving firm configuration of the new 777X airplane design and celebrating the first flight of the KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker. Boeing also set a record for parts and services orders, expanded the 737 Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field and hosted China President Xi Jinping. It’s a different dynamic when it comes to new orders for airplanes. In 2015, Boeing booked 768 orders – a substantial number, but a 50-percent drop from 1,432 in the previous year. And Airbus recently reported they booked more than 1,000 orders – besting Boeing by nearly 25 percent.
NET NUMBER OF PLANE ORDERS IN 2015
1,036 768
AIRBUS
BOEING
In looking at the numbers, the important thing to note is that airline customers’ priorities have shifted. They are more focused than ever before on the prices they pay for airplanes. Price is what matters and Boeing must respond. “We build and support great airplanes – still the best in the world – but Airbus has improved its quality while
maintaining lower pricing – presenting a tough choice for even our longest-standing customers,” said Ray Conner, Boeing vice chairman and president and CEO of Commercial Airplanes. Boeing believes the competition with Airbus will grow more aggressive this year – especially since timing and external forces could affect large airplane sales. To ensure its long-term position in the market, in 2016 Boeing is sharpening its focus on designing and building quality while accelerating efforts to reduce costs. “This is the first time in our history where we are competing in every single market segment,” Conner said. “It’s head-to-head competition with Airbus, and we’re also preparing for future competition from China, Brazil, Canada and other countries.” The good news is that Boeing announced production rates will climb again this year as the 767 program moves to build two airplanes per month and the 787 rate climbs to build 12 per month. Meanwhile, the 737 program will lay the groundwork for next year’s jump from 42 to 47 jets per month. In July, Boeing will celebrate 100 years of worldchanging innovation.

Boeing and engineering union reach tentative agreement on contract extension
B
oeing and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), representing more than 20,000 employees, recently announced a tentative agreement on a new six-year contract extension, following several weeks of discussions. “This tentative agreement recognizes the significant contributions of our engineering and technical workforce and reinforces Boeing’s commitment to the Puget Sound region,” said Boeing Vice Chairman and Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.
Highlights of the tentative agreement include: Q M arket leading compensation Q Expanded workforce stability protections relative to Puget Sound engineering work movement Q A transition benefit to a new retirement program Q Modest increases in employee contributions for market-leading health care
Linking up for the long game: Boeing, Callaway fulfill need for speed Golf company calls on aerospace engineers to help design faster club
W
hen engineers from Boeing and the Callaway Golf Co. got together for a cross-industry collaboration last year, the knowledge and experience applied to airplanes on the runway resulted in a golf club that can drive a ball farther down a fairway. An innovation by Boeing engineers to modify air flow around the club contributed to what they have validated through testing as a faster driver — Callaway’s XR 16. The project began last year when Callaway sought the expertise of the world’s leading aerospace company. “We’ve made a lot of strides over the years to improve aerodynamic efficiency in our products, but we decided it might be a good idea to call on the experts at Boeing and ask, ‘could your expertise help us design a faster club?’” said Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at Callaway. That simple question led to a special assignment for a small team of engineers led by Wayne Tygert, chief project engineer of 787 Airplane Development, and Jeffrey Crouch, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow, Aero Flow Physics, who saw it as an opportunity to learn from experts in other industries. “Reducing drag, controlling air flow and improving aerodynamic performance is a critical part of airplane de-

sign and something we take a lot of pride in doing extremely well,” Crouch said. “I was very curious to see how we could translate our experience to golf club design.”
Newer team members like Adam Clark, an aerodynamics engineer in Flight Sciences, and Harrison Chau, a configuration design engineer in Airplane Configuration and Integration, gained valuable experience on shortflow product development and innovation cycles. Despite the collective knowledge of the Boeing and Callaway group, the project presented some unique challenges, the engineers said. For example, unlike airplanes, drivers move through space with rapid changes in orientation. Crouch, with Clark and Chau, determined that the best method to increase the speed of the driver was to use a local air-flow modifier, called the Speed Step, on top of the club head. The Speed Step essentially alters the flow of air around the driver head enough to improve its speed from the top of the swing through impact with a golf ball. The increased speed upon impact can lead to greater distance for the driven golf ball — something every golfer of any talent level seeks. “I love my job as an aerodynamicist at Boeing, but it’s always great to learn from engineers in other industries,” Clark said. “This was a great opportunity to push myself and grow my skills and experience.”
Seahawks linebacker pops the question
“These negotiations were possible because SPEEA and Boeing decided not to let our areas of disagreement prevent us from making progress on items where we do agree,” said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director in a news statement. “These contract extensions are the result of a lot of hard work and good will. Hopefully, this gives us a template for the future.” For additional information, visit www.boeing.com/speea.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright pops the question in Boeing’s Everett facility.
eattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright (#50) can be forgiven if years from now he doesn’t remember everything he saw during a tour in late December of Boeing’s facility in Everett, Wash. That’s because his VIP tour of the Everett Flightline and factory ended with him on bended knee before his longtime girlfriend, Nathalie. As two Boeing employees, wearing bow ties with their coveralls, unfurled a banner saying, “Nathalie – will you marry me?” down the side of a 787, Wright popped the question before his shocked girlfriend and her family who were visiting for the holidays. Needless to say, the answer was yes! Wright devised the unique proposal plan because his nowfiancee’s father is an aviation enthusiast who he knew would enjoy a tour of Boeing’s Everett site. Wright was joined on the tour by another notable guest – teammate Jimmy Graham – a registered pilot.

Airplane 101: Teachers become students
A group of teachers from the Puget Sound area attended Airplane 101, hosted by Boeing as part of the company’s STEM outreach efforts.
As part of its STEM outreach efforts, Boeing gives teachers an interactive lesson about airplanes and aerodynamics they can take back to their classrooms
B
ecoming students for the day, a group of Puget Sound area teachers participated in interactive exercises illustrating basic aerodynamic principles such as lift, thrust, drag and weight that they could take back to their classrooms during a recent day-long Airplane 101 class in Everett, Wash. The program, hosted by Flight Services Marketing and the Museum of Flight, is one way Boeing aims to build students’ interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). By bringing teachers in to experience airplanes up close and talk with experts, Boeing gives them a unique perspective on the principles of flight, which they can then share with their students. Larry Seto, product marketing manager of flight training for Flight Services, led the teachers through the interactive exercises. Later, the lessons came to life when the group toured the Commercial Airplanes factory and the 787 Dreamliner static test bed, where they saw how Boeing simulates stresses on the airframe.
“I now can offer my students realworld examples of careers in aviation,” one teacher wrote in an anonymous evaluation of the class. Another wrote, “I plan to use these teaching techniques and examples in my class.” The teachers indicated that touring the production line — and taking aerospace knowledge beyond books — was particularly important to them. “I like having personal experience to refer to when teaching,” one teacher wrote. As Boeing prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2016, preparing and inspiring future innovators is a key focus, and programs like this can help influence the education environment, according to Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services. “Teachers play an incredible role in shaping our future workforce,” Carbary said “This was a great opportunity to give teachers the tools they need to incorporate basic aviation principles into their curriculum.”

To create awareness and find a way to donate to the cause, Venzke wrote the first of three books called “Caged” in 2011. Her second book, “Caged No More,” came out on Jan. 4. Nearly a year after “Caged” was published, she was contacted by movie producer Lisa Arnold, who had produced and directed “God’s Not Dead.” Not only did she want to turn Venzke’s book into a movie, Arnold asked Venzke to write the screenplay. Four years later, “Caged No More,” the movie, is set to release in 200 theaters nationwide Friday, with more to follow. According to a news release, “Caged No More” highlights how complex it is to rescue those who have been trafficked. Character Aggie Prejean (played by Loretta Devine, a “Grey’s

national Film Festival in Los Angeles, Calif. All of the proceeds from the novel and movie will be donated to nonprofit Trafficking Hope, an anti-trafficking organization Venzke used to work for. Venzke was the copywriter for the organization’s website, which was launched in 2007. “It was really, for me at the time, the only organization I knew of,” she said of the Louisiana-based nonprofit. “I remotely worked for them and did all kinds of stuff as a writer.” Then, as she started doing research on sex trafficking in the United States, it opened her eyes to how prevalent human trafficking is. “I would write stories for the girls when they would rescue somebody,” she said. “It broke my heart, and I wanted to be more involved.” According to The A21 Campaign, only 1-2 percent of sex trafficking victims are rescued. Living and working in the south King County area, Venzke has also heard local stories. One in particular stands out:

“A young girl who was in high school right here in Federal Way met an 18-year-old boy, she was 14,” she said. “He came on the campus and was just hanging out in the parking lot, they didn’t know this guy wasn’t a student, and he was what you’d call a recruiter, a deliverer of the girls.” Venzke said recruiters develop a relationship with girls and take them to a location where the actual pimps are, and leave. “That happened (to this girl) and serious by the grace of God, four days later, she was found,” Venzke said, noting the details of what happened during those four days are unfathomable. “This is happening.” Outside of novels and films, Venzke is helping pilot a project under Trafficking Hope called Students Against Trafficking, or StAT. The project allows students to be involved with their peers in a fun way, while addressing the issue of sex trafficking and how to prevent it. “It’s really awesome because you get these high school kids and they take it through college,” she said, adding that if a man does not buy sex by the time he’s 25, the chances of him buying it after the age of 25 are extremely low. “Caged No More” will be playing in Tukwila at the AMC Southcenter 16, at 3600 Southcenter Mall, as well as at a theater in Lynnwood.

As a great grandson of Ole and Anna Oie, Norwegian pioneers who settled on the East Hill of Kent in 1890, author Morris Willard Skagen’s dream of publishing the “History of the Soos Creek Plateau from 1860-1960” has been achieved. The book, aboout 450 pages in length, includes maps and early photographs of the area. All aspects of the development of the plateau are included, with major emphasis on farming, which was the main means of livelihood for plateau residents. A major focus of the book is on the settlers and families who lived on the plateau. Between
1860 and 1960, most of the plateau, which covers an area of approximately 70 square miles, was served by the Kent Post Office, including Covington and most of Lea Hill. Skagen grew up on the 70-square-mile area above Kent called the Soos Creek Plateau and graduated from KentMeridian High School in 1955. Combining that with an occupation as an accomplished librarian, his exhaustive research, together with scores of anecdotal stories and oral histories weave an appealing account of the rugged men and women who settled The Plateau. Morris’s love of the area and his encyclopedic

Ravens overcome slow start to remain perfect
LIONS CAPTURE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE VICTORY Auburn Mountainview overcame Auburn Riverside senior post Quintin Bethea’s 26-point performance to earn a 48-41 win Tuesday in a South Puget Sound League 3A boys basketball game. Senior center Tristan Miguel paced the Lions with 15 points. Miguel’s classmate, guard Ryan Lacey, added 12 points for Auburn Mountainview (14-1 overall, 8-1 league). The Lions, who play at 7 p.m. Friday at Bonney Lake, have won four consecutive games. The Ravens (8-7, 4-5) dropped into a tie for fourth place with Sumner in SPSL 3A with the setback. They play at 7 tonight at Enumclaw. Meanwhile, Auburn (8-7, 3-6) lost its second consecutive game, 73-67, against Enumclaw. Jason Brown scored 24 points to lead the Trojans, who play at 7 p.m. Friday at Peninsula.

Just call it a first-world problem. That is what an undefeated Auburn Riverside girls basketball program seems to be dealing with as the Ravens overcame another slow start to defeat Auburn Mountainview 52-35 on Tuesday night in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest. “That’s been a reoccurring theme,” said Auburn Riverside coach Derek Pegram, whose team also surrendered 10 unanswered points to start last Friday’s game at Sumner before prevailing 55-43. “All it takes is a steal and a bucket and it seems to wake us up.” That again was the case against the Lions. After both teams entered the second quarter tied at 11-all, junior point guard McKenzi Williams scored four consecutive points in the first 40 seconds of the period. Auburn Mountainview (11-3 overall, 7-2 league) never threatened again. “Mountainview hasn’t lost since we played them last, so I knew they would be coming in with a lot of confidence,” Pegram said. The Lions had an eight-game win streak since suffering a 60-37 setback Dec. 11 against the Ravens. Pegram noticed freshman Taylor Flores’ impact during that time and made it a goal to contain her. She finished with six points. “What we needed to do was really focus defensively,” Pegram said.

a pair of 3-pointers against Auburn Mountainview. “Autumn moved up, took that spot and she’s not letting it go,� Pegram said. “She’s been playing with a lot of composure and has been playing really well defensively.� Pegram, who is in his third season as Auburn Riverside’s coach, said he never has been apprehensive about playing freshmen. Williams moved into the starting lineup as a freshman and junior Olivia Denton, who scored 12 points against the Lions, played significant minutes in 2013-14, as well. “We love to have com-
petition,� Pegram said. “If you’re better than the next person, I don’t care if you’re a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, you’re going to start. That’s kind of what we live by.� He hopes that remains a motivating factor for the Ravens, who are pushing to reach the state tournament for the first time since 2011. And against that level of competition, Auburn Riverside might have more difficulty overcoming slow starts. “It’s crazy because at the beginning of the year we started out so well in the first quarter,� Pegram said. “We had four or five games
where we had a 10-point lead in the first quarter. “I’ll look at it and see if we need to start out in something else defensively to get them going or if we need to mix up some sets. I’m definitely going to look at it.� Williams is familiar with the program’s history – Auburn Riverside has won three state championships since the school opened in 1995 – and she is motivated to build on that tradition. The Ravens have only five regular-season games remaining. They host Enumclaw at 7 Friday night. “We want to get to state,� Williams said. “We’re not going to let anyone stop us.�
