Strong numbers: economy continues to pick up By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn’s economy is shuffling off the blues its felt since 2008. Such was the message Auburn Economic Development Manager Doug Lein recently brought to the members of the Planning and Community De-

velopment Committee. And he justified his optimism with plenty of positive numbers. According to Lein’s report, “What’s happening in Auburn, Mid 2013,” to date in 2013 the City has issued 207 permits either for construction of single-family homes or for additions

and alterations to existing structures, having a total valuation of $45 million. That compares favorably to the 145 permits the City had issued by the same time last year, having a total valuation of $32.6 million. In the commercial sector, the City has issued 134 commercial permits to

date in 2013 with a valuation of $92.4 million, compared to 96 to date last year with a total valuation of $12.6 million, according to the report. To translate those figures into brick, mortar, wood and glass, here are some of the commercial projects in progress [ more ECONOMY page 8 ]

Partridge vows to be different kind of mayor

Union worker Mark Walker from Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group joins the picket line. SHAWN SKAGer,

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Deeply entrenched leadership, said Auburn City Councilman John Partridge, relies on itself, resists change, supports and defends its past decisions – and in time tends to forget the very people it is there to serve. Just the sort of power structure, the Auburn mayoral candidate told supporters at a recent rally at the William Warren Building at Veterans Memorial Park, that he has smacked up against time and again in his four years on the council. But should Auburn voters elect him mayor this November, Partridge said, he would be a mayor of a different stripe: a leader bringing to the job an outsider’s fresh perspective and an unusual

Striking employees of Auburn’s Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group received a show of solidarity from their International Association of Machinist union-mates on Tuesday. Tom Wroblewski, the president of IAW District Lodge 751, visited striking members of IAW Local 79, pledging the support of aerospace machinists at Boeing and donating $1,000 to the union’s strike fund. “We’re here to support you whatever way we can,” Wroblewski said. “There are 30,000 members (at Boeing) standing right here behind

you, and there are 10,000 retirees we’ll mobilize if we have to.” The Belshaw employees have been walking the picket line since March 24, when 63 members of IAW Local 79 voted unanimously to strike. Belshaw Adamatic manufactures bakery equipment for wholesale and retail bakeries, specializing in donut fryers. “We tried to negotiate a fair contract with the employer,” IAW President Dan Morgan said. “The employer’s only offer was very weak economically, less than 2 percent. But our major issues are training of employees for promotional opportunities [ more STRIKE page 8 ]

‘Pacin’ Parson’ to complete walk for MS, sister mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn’s man of sole walks for many friends, many causes. But Don Stevenson’s latest ultra-walk hits closer to home. The 77-year-old “Pacin’ Parson” plans to complete a 23,000-mile walk to raise money and awareness for

during the week and follow various trails outside the park on weekends. Proceeds from the walk benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Like her brother the walker, Barry has dedicated her life to ministering to others, especially children. She is retired from Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. She is the

mother of three daughters and the proud grandmother of several grandchildren. “One of her favorite pastimes was ‘being a clown’ for children,” Stevenson said. “I can’t give much for the MS cause,” he added, “but what I do have I wish to give it all, namely my heart and my legs.” Stevenson, a former Marine, pastor, teacher and truck driver, has walked more than 50,000 miles for various charities since 1998. Long-distance walking became his passion after his retirement in 1994. To donate and to learn more, visit www.thepacingparson.com.

In his term, Partridge said, he has sat on three of the four principal city subcommittees: Planning and Community Development: Municipal Services; and the Finance Committee, which he chairs. He has participated in two budgetary cycles. And, he said, he has been keen to take advantage of regional and national opportunities to extend his connections and knowledge of legislatives issues concerning public safety. His leadership, he said, led to the formation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society, the City’s new animal shelter on A Street Southeast and Auburn’s procurement of its own animal control officer, after decades of contracting animal control services out to King County. “In 2010, when the City faced reduced service and

rising costs for animal control services, I realized that there was an opportunity to do what a council member is supposed to do — seeing the need, I created a vision that ultimately formed the AVHS. After the formation of the AVHS, it took just three years for Auburn to have its own animal shelter, its own animal control officer, and a place for people to gather and to serve,” Partridge said. “I believe we need to maximize our strengths by enabling these public-private partnerships and minimizing our debt and taxes by maximizing priorities to seek efficiencies. I believe that government needs to be big on the citizens and needs to be small on itself. It needs to be about business, but not in competition with business.”

Federal prosecutors have charged an Auburn man with receipt and possession of child pornography based on an investigation that began four years ago in the Netherlands. According to charging papers, Benjamin Gran participated in the now defunct forum for “boylovers,” www.BoyLovers. net. Two years ago, according to charging papers, agents caught him with child pornography at his Auburn home. Gran has not been jailed. The Amsterdam Police Department, the Dutch National Police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began “Operation Rescue” in 2009, in part to dismantle the online forum for its role in the transmission and dissemination of child pornography throughout the world. The investigation that snagged Gran focused on a network of 12 people within the forum, all of whom, according to charging papers, were personally involved.

‘John,’ he said, ‘always leave a place better than you found it.’“ – John Partridge, Auburn mayoral candidate

Voters must decide to blot out Sun The words read like prophecy. Just hours after losing his seat to Pacific Mayor Cy Sun in the November 2011 general election, Richard Hildreth released this statement: “Although I’m disappointed in losing to negative campaigning and the deception of our citizens, I know that as the truth comes out, the public will see the mistake that was made. I pray that mistake does not prove fatal to our city.” It nearly did. In less than two years in office, Sun – under the guise of fighting corruption he claims is rampant in city government – put Pacific on life support by dismantling city staff, fighting an ongoing battle that has decimated the City’s police force and instigated the loss of the City’s liability insurance by his refusal to adequately staff vacant department head positions at City Hall. Although the City was able to secure costlier, less comprehensive liability insurance at the last minute, the crisis forced the City Council to consider two stark options: ceasing to exist as a municipality, or annex into neighboring Auburn. Pacific voters will have the chance to decide Tuesday whether they made a mistake and if the damage done to the City under Sun’s administration is great enough to recall him, ending his term as mayor less than two years in. For months now the controversial mayor and the Committee to Recall Cy Sun have fought a pitched battle for the hearts, minds and votes of Pacific residents. And much like the campaign in 2011 that swept Sun, a write-in candidate, into office, negativity has been the main focus of the battle. In 2011, Sun benefited from a smear campaign – anybodybutrich.com – that focused on Hildreth’s alleged misuse of a City-issued credit card. The website, financially backed by local businessman Jerry Eck, had claimed Hildreth misused the card for his personal use and to advance his career in emergency management. Seizing on the Cy Sun wave of ill will toward Hildreth, Sun ran on a campaign that claimed the city administration was corrupt and he was the man to set the ship right. Sun won the election with 470 votes

Partridge: the catalyst behind humane society Contrary to former Councilmember Gene Cerino’s letter (“Setting the record straight on AVHS”, Auburn Reporter, June 14), I was on the City Council when John Partridge chose to bring together a group of local veterinarians to form a valley humane society. From day one, I supported John’s efforts regarding animal control and safety. As a member of the Municipal Services Committee, Mr. Partridge had every reason to be aware of the City’s needs for responsible animal control. Because of his sincere concern for the safety of residents, pets and, for that matter, all animals, he was instrumental in bringing together dedicated, professional and volunteer people to concentrate on the formation of the Auburn Valley Humane Society. I personally received scores of emails from citizens elated at the prospects of a new “animal shelter” in Auburn. I would remind taxpayers that what we do as a community for animals and their owners is a welcome addition to Auburn. As for John Partridge “showing the traits of a politician who wants to take credit for things that they had nothing to do with” simply to get elected: John Partridge was not solely responsible for the formation of the AVHS, but he was certainly the catalyst.

Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. As a former councilmember who worked with Mr. Partridge for two years, I can honestly say that taking credit for something that he has not really done is something John Partridge would not do. Conscientious elected official is the John Partridge I know. – Virginia Haugen

Kids will be kids At Fourth and M Street Southeast, the City is working hard to improve traffic flow and ease congestion in our community. Meanwhile, neighborhood kids are working hard at vandalizing the freshly poured concrete. As a resident and taxpayer in the neighborhood, I was pleased with the idea of having new sidewalks poured in my neighborhood. The night after Scarsella Bros. had the

concrete sidewalks poured, presumed kids preceded to write whatever they wanted in the fresh concrete. I witnessed a kid walk around the “sidewalk closed” sign and walk a good 15 feet down the sidewalk before he trampled out of it and wiped the concrete off his shoes. Someone else decided they would ride their bike through it. The other day a crew of several workers spent hours patching up and repairing the damage the vandals caused. As frustrating as it is for me to see this happen, I feel helpless. Kids will be kids. Maybe someday, once they start paying taxes, they will realize what all this damage costs. A sign or road cone isn’t going to stop these kids from vandalizing our sidewalks. We need to prevent them access to the tempting wet concrete. Scarsella, wouldn’t it have been much cheaper to rent a fence and encase the sidewalk rather than pay a full crew a days wages to patch the concrete? Hire a security guard? By the way, the bicycle tire tracks are still there. I guess us taxpayers are stuck with those. Thanks. – Ryan Georgi

Tips to alleviate back pain: 1. Ice or heat – use whichever is more comfortable. Typically an ice pack helps to decrease swelling, and a heating pad helps to dilate vessels and relax muscles. Use the “20/20 rule:” 20 minutes on, 20

minutes off, and repeat several times a day. 2. Consider an antiinflammatory (i.e., Ibuprofen or Advil, Aleve). These medications decrease inflammation and therefore decrease pain. Take them with food to avoid developing an ulcer. Do not exceed more than three tablets every eight hours, unless directed by a doctor. And do not take for longer than 14 days, unless directed by a doctor. 3. Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be used with anti-inflammatoryies to decrease pain. Do not exceed more than eight tablets in a day for three to five days, unless directed by a doctor. 4. Glucosamine/Chondroiten 1,500 milligrams (mgs) in a divided dose can decrease joint pain. Do not take with medication if you are allergic to Sulfa drugs. 5. Omega-3 fish oil 2,000 to 4,000 mgs a day helps

Walking and gentle stretching. 8. Consider massage therapy. If your back pain does not get better within one to two weeks, or your symptoms increase, be sure to see your doctor.

In addition, an outside investigation cleared Hildreth of any charges in “credit card-gate”. The ineptitude of Sun’s administration, however, has been well documented by local newspapers, TV stations and in courts in Pierce and King counties. On Tuesday, 2,943 Pacific voters will decide whether Sun should be recalled because of alleged malfeasance, misfeasance and violation of his oath of office

to Hildreth’s 385, with Councilmember John Jones receiving 302 votes of the 1,205 votes cast in the election. Although the recall election also focuses on allegations of corruption, the key difference between it and the 2011 race lies in the actual documentation of that corruption. Despite Sun’s nebulous claims of corruption during Hildreth’s administration, the Washington State Auditor in February declared the City’s books clean. “The results of our tests disclosed no instances of

in two instances: using the Pacific Police Department as his personal police force by directing it to investigate a matter clearly out of its jurisdiction; and jeopardizing the City’s insurance coverage by not filling vacant department heads. Unlike the claims made against Hildreth in 2011, the evidence against Sun is overwhelming and well documented. Now, citizens in Pacific will have chance to right the wrong done in 2011 by making a well-informed, educated decision on the future of their city. So get out and vote.

Why should we pay taxes or follow the law? The state is implementing the pot bill against federal law. The courts are silent. I called the offices of Sens. Murray and Cantwell about the pot bill. They said it is under study and they would call me back shortly. I am still waiting for an answer. Immigration enforcement is willy-nilly. The state and feds waste money. If I don’t pay my taxes, I get fined. If the state doesn’t get its job done on time, it gets overtime pay. No penalty. They say there’s not enough money for the troops’ medical problems. However, we have tons of money on foreign aid payable to places that hate us. It makes no sense to me.

10 years on our streets. I find myself a passenger now and did not realize I was using the steering wheel for a handle to hang on with. I can barely walk from the jousting after the drive. The corner of Tacoma Boulevard and Third is referred to as “Roller Coaster Corner.” Rather than fix the streets, maybe we could just get new signs such as “Grand Canyon Ave” or “Enter at Your Own Risk Blvd.” You get the idea. I suggest the City Council appoint one person to call the lawyer every day instead of all seven. That would save enough to fix the streets. Seems strange since the City Council is in charge of the money and they drive the same roads. The council’s lawyer just nipped us for over a quarter of a million dollars, so maybe that is a good place to start. We should be able to save on patrolling also. Unless it is one of the main streets, you would have to wear a white helmet and have numbers on the side of your car to go fast enough to break the speed limit without ruining your vehicle. Unless of course you ride Brahma bulls for a living. The silver lining is this. The 15-year-olds learning to drive don’t dare hit the shoulder of the road, or I take the new tire out of their al-

The employer seems to want to outsource their work rather than train employees.” The high cost of the company-sponsored health and welfare plan also played into the union’s decision to strike, Morgan said. “We offered them an opportunity to participate in (the union’s) welfare trust, which would save the employer over $18,000 a month for the entire bargaining unit,” he said. “They think that’s a good idea as long as they get to keep all that savings. They offered us a $1,500 one-time bonus for each employee and said they don’t recognize any savings beyond that.” Now, more than 85 days into the strike, Morgan said the company has hired permanent replacement

www.auburn-reporter.com

“They have said they’re going to keep them, whatever offer they give us,” Morgan said. “Our guys would only come back on an ‘as needed’ basis. We voted on a second proposal from the employer on May 10, and it really didn’t matter what was in it, beyond that. It could have had a $10 raise in it, the group was not going to accept any contract where all of them would not go back to work. Even though they had been on strike for 50 days at that point, they voted unanimously against that, which speaks volumes of the solidarity of this group.” In response to an email request for comment. Belshaw Adamatic released the following statement from President and Chief Executive Officer Roger A. Faw: “The management

team at Belshaw Adamatic Bakery Group sincerely appreciates and respects the interest shown by the press regarding the labor dispute we are involved in currently. At this time, we are respectful of the ongoing labor negotiations and do not think it is appropriate for us to discuss the issues on the table. We continue to bargain in good faith in an effort to bring resolution to this dispute.” Morgan added that he hoped a resolution to the strike would soon be found. “I hope at the end of the day we can find the common ground,” Morgan said. “This is not a solely economic strike. It contains a lot of work issues that, in my opinion, can be worked out if the employer would see some common sense and some common ground. I think we can find it.”

And the numbers listed above are only going to get better, said Jeff Tate, Auburn’s interim director of Planning and Community Development. “These are for permits that are issued. We have a couple hundred million dollars commercial valuation in process now, or that we know is coming in the door by the end of the month,” Tate said. Lein said Auburn is seeing many spaces that had been low-value distribution facilities undergoing conversion to office space. A prime example is Novinium, which recently turned a 21,000-square-foot

building with perhaps 10 people working in it into a structure housing 42 electrical engineers having an average salary of $80,000 a year. “When we looked at the impact of those salaries to the taxable, collectable sales, it’s just amazing,” Lein said. “And you can see why we are running at a rate of three times the state on taxable sales. The state just announced a 5.1 percent increase, and they’re real happy about that in Olympia. We’re running just south of 17 percent.” And when you talk about improvements to existing facilities, “that’s job retention,” Tate said. “So when someone spends a million dollars on an existing warehousing, distribution center or manufacturing building … that’s not just a million dollar construction valuation, or anything that goes on the tax rolls, it’s keeping those jobs here. It’s a commitment.” “I get excited about this because it’s directly transferable into jobs in our city,” said City Councilman John Holman, “good jobs, getting people back to work.”

Racing community rallies to aid Gallyn Mitchell The Emerald Downs racing community banded together to raise money for jockey Gallyn Mitchell, who suffered a heart attack in April. An auction conducted this past Saturday was expected to raise nearly $25,000 for Mitchell, once all sales are completed. The 50-year-old veteran, who has ridden all 17 seasons at Emerald Downs , said his ultimate goal is to return to racing . “You guys will see me again down (in the jockeys’ room,” Mitchell said. “I’ll be back.”

PREP COACH OF THE YEAR

Hansen leads Troy boys to success

Two of Emerald Downs’ all-time greats, superstar gelding Noosa Beach and jockey Ricky Frazier,will be honored in a joint retirement ceremony at Emerald Downs on July 3. Noosa Beach will parade one last time before his numerous fans, and afterward the gelding will join Frazier in a final visit to the Winner’s Circle. In addition, Frazier will autograph full color Noosa Beach

No one expected much from the Auburn Trojan boys basketball team before the start of the 20122013 season. “The coaches’ poll came out and we were picked to finish seventh in our league,” said head coach Ryan Hansen. “Immediately, there was talk in our locker room from the guys that they felt disrespected. I figured we were better than finishing seventh in our league. But I didn’t think we were good enough to be competing for the league title like we did.” The team responded to the preseason dis, putting together a 12-4 second-place finish in the South Puget Sound League North 4A and fighting its way into the Washington State 4A regional tourney. There the boys ended their season just one game short of the state 4A tourney with a 16-10 record. “It definitely put a chip on our shoulder, and we talked about it during the season to stay focused and keep that chip on our shoulder,” Hansen said. “It really was a great season. I think in a lot of respects we really did overachieve this season. That speaks a lot to the character of the

Auburn Mountainview graduate Ariana Kukors, a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic swimming team, hosts the Dream Clinic beginning Monday at Auburn Mountainview High School. The three-week clinic for athletes ages 11 to 18, features classroom-style workshops for those interested in learning the mental tools Kukors used to achieve her dream of swimming in the Olympics. The workshops will not involve pool time. Several schedule options are available for participants, with 1 1/2-hour sessions beginning at 10 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. on June 24, July 1 and July 8 as well as 11:45 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m.

Themes for each session are Dreaming Big, Here Comes the Nerves, and Overcome Obstacles. “My story is not a fairytale,” Kukors said. “It is a tale of perseverance, belief, hard work and dreams.

I was just a little girl with a really big dream. And I believed in my dream for so long and worked so hard that it finally came true.

Frazier is officially hanging up his riding boots following a 30-year career in which he rode 3,469 winners, including 886 wins and five riding titles at Emerald Downs.

His success as a Warrior earned him a spot on the Eastern Washington University roster, where he helped lead the Eagles to a Big Sky Conference title his senior year. Although he suffered a serious ACL injury just a month after graduating from Eastern, Hansen traveled to South Korea to continue his playing career. “It didn’t work out, so I came back and had the opportunity to continue to look for playing opportunities or throw my name in the hat for (the Auburn coaching job),” Hansen said. “I didn’t really think I would have a good shot at it because I was 24 years

old with very little coaching experience.” Yes, Hansen was green, but Auburn Athletic Director Bob Jones took a chance and hired him for the job in 2003. “When the opportunity presented itself, it was just too good to pass up,” Hansen said. “But I had to really think hard about whether I wanted to continue to play or do something I knew I wanted to do, which was be a teacher and a coach.” Hansen said he threw himself headlong into his new gig immediately, with Jones’ support. “Bob just kind of let me do my thing,” Hansen said. “He’s always been there to answer questions for me, but he’s never told me how to do things. I really couldn’t ask for a better athletic director.

He’s been great to work with. “I was young and had lots to learn about managing a program, just about dealing with teenagers and parents,” Hansen said. Now 11 years in, Hansen has helped make the Trojans a perennial contender in the SPSL 4A, no matter what the preseason polls say. He’s led Auburn to state tourney appearances in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011. More important, however, he’s transformed the Auburn boys basketball program into more than just a sport — he’s turned into a family. “Our program is so much

From my wife working so hard behind the scenes to Tony Callero running my youth program and doing it the right way, to my assistant coaches who work so hard to my administrative staff that is always there to support me, and then finally to the hard work and dedication of my players, who continue to do everything I ask them to.
