PICKING UP THE PIECES IN PACIFIC New mayor looks to put City back on track
By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Newly minted Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier found the atmosphere at last weekend’s annual Pacific Days celebration fantastic, hard to believe, unreal. Riding with councilmembers atop a Valley Regional Fire Authority fire truck during the Pacific Days Parade, with just two days under her belt as the City’s chief administrator, Guier said the reality of her new position set in. “That was a good feeling, it was a surreal feeling,” said Guier, whom the City Council appointed as mayor on July 11 after former Mayor Cy Sun’s ouster in the recall election became official. “That’s probably a moment I’ll never forget my whole life. It just felt good.” Now the hard work begins for Guier, 52 – and for the community of Pacific. For 18 months, the City struggled under Sun, whom

The King County Prosecutor last Wednesday filed vehicular homicide, felony hit and run and reckless endangerment charges against the man it alleges drove the SUV that struck and killed 56-year-old cabbie Brian F. Love in the early morning hours of July 5 in downtown Auburn. Floyd D. Gonzalez, 29, of Auburn, is in King County Jail on $1 million bail. The vehicular homicide charge alleges that Gonzales was under the influence of alcohol and driving in a reckless manner at the time of the collision. Prosecutors tie the reckless endangerment charge to the allegation that, by speeding and failing to stop for a red light, Gonzales put his girlfriend and sole passenger, Latasha Moses, 21, at “a substantial risk of death and serious injury.” Here, according to court papers filed with the charges, is what happened. At 5:5O a.m. on July 5, Gonzales, traveling at an estimated 50 to 60 miles per hour southbound on Auburn Way North in his girlfriend’s 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, blew through a red light at the intersection of Auburn Way North and East Main Street. Narrowly missing an eastbound Auburn Police patrol car that had just cleared the green-lighted intersection, court papers say, he slammed into the driver’s door of the red taxi just [ more CHARGES page 12 ]

Truth can be a moving target in political campaigns Here we go with another round of election races. This one probably will not draw the heavyweight fight crowd like the presidential battle of 2012, but there are always a few intriguing races and initiatives to watch. After covering political races for longer than I care to admit, I still try to follow one rule; I never call a race before the votes are counted. I often have a sense how a race will break, but I have been sucker punched enough to give up the practice of reading birdie innards to predict the future. I do believe when the voters of our country pay attention to a race, usually the best choice is made, although I may not agree with it at the time. Often when I look back it makes more sense, or it is at least understandable, why the voters made a choice that seems goofy. Sometimes it is goofy, and I think that is usually a lack of paying attention or worse, paying attention to self-appointed arm wavers with the world’s best interest at heart. My advice is to check the facts and figures of anyone, candidate or campaigner. Many of the most shrill like to hold a candidate to the truth, but their hair catches on fire when someone challenges their tilted universe of truth. Truth can be a moving target in campaigns. Elections are about paying attention and critical thinking by voters. It is a responsibility, and certainly, eating s’mores and sauerkraut is probably more fun. The political arena can be an unfamiliar environment for many. Candidates run with notions of community service dancing in their heads, and suddenly they are nailed between the eyes with a hostile campaign. It can be a shock to the system. Most candidates I have covered run for pretty good reasons. They really do want to help build a community. Sometimes, I admit, when I hear a candidate’s vision of building the community I want to hit myself in the head with a big rock. That comes from too many campaigns and too many arm wavers with fiery hair. Ronald Reagan was correct about one thing: “Trust, but verify” – although I probably fall into the category of “don’t believe anything until it is verified”, and even then be careful.

Pondelick would bring new ideas as our next mayor Why should the people of Auburn consider Scot Pondelick for Auburn mayor? We are tired of seeing the same old downtown look like a deserted ghost town. Auburn needs to be fixed. Scot has a plan to invigorate young business owners and young families who will take over the reigns of Auburn one day. It’s time to start now to show the younger set that they can make Auburn fit its tagline, “More Than You Imagined,” instead of what it is now, “Less Than You Bargained For.” I believe Scot can do that. Since I moved to Auburn in 1997, I have seen a decline in the vitality of this city. I have seen the downtown become a sad statement of a once prideful city. I really would like to see Auburn rival Kent, especially in the train/bus corridor businesses. Auburn has a right and an obligation to capitalize on the same businesses or similar businesses that make Kent Station so vivacious. I have listened to Scot and know he has plans to inspire, encourage and help develop plans to make Auburn vivacious by involving young business owners who can take Auburn to the next level. Scot is a lifelong Auburn resident. He attended Chinook Elementary, Olympic Middle School (where I teach) and Auburn Riverside High

When I talk to him, I get the genuine caring and kindness when he talks about Auburn. I just feel that he has enough love for Auburn and the people who live here to make it matter to do the right thing, time and again. Scot is also a dedicated young man and he loves our country, our veterans. In my opinion, he will use the training of his eight years in the military – 38 months in deployment in the Army – to help create a solid, regimented and honest endeavor to his position as mayor. Scot has made an effort to connect with people. He will listen and he will be honest about what his plans are, what he can do and what he will have to work at. Scot is a great guy and a perfect choice for mayor. – Laurie E. Sison
Partridge would be breath of fresh air as mayor While I appreciate the many letters Nancy Backus supporters have written, all focus on Ms. Backus’ independence on Auburn’s City Council and as deputy mayor. However, any reader with a sense of curiosity would wonder where the evidence is that would support such claims. One writer, Mr. Hiller, claims that Ms. Backus had a record of “making objective decisions that are the best for Auburn.” However, he failed to provide even one example of such a decision. It appears to me that the deputy mayor’s “objective decisions” have consistently supported the mayor in whatever decisions he has made. I would argue that those decisions are neither always objective nor always best for all of Auburn’s diverse community. Another writer, Ms. Cutler, claims she “is her own person, with strong convictions, (and) the great ability to listen to all sides.” In fact, if she indeed listens to all sides, then why does she vote with the mayor virtually 100 percent of the time, rather than go with what the writer calls “strong convictions?” If she is indeed a “decisive leader,” then one would hope that her decisions would not always be in sync with those of the mayor. I also wonder what “fresh ideas” [ more letters page 7 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com of independent leadership would be if the deputy mayor supported a new survey to find out whether our community still wishes to spend this kind of money of the project. Clearly, much has changed since then, Auburn’s demographics included. In contrast, when Councilman Partridge questioned whether that project was still a priority for Auburn and suggested an updated survey, Ms. Backus, the rest of the council and the mayor proclaimed that they were elected to make decisions for the public, regardless of public opinion. Aren’t independent thinking and questioning exactly what we look for in our leaders? Real independence is a reflection of a willingness to talk to com-
Ms. Backus has brought to the table, as Ms. Cutler writes. It is my belief that it is any leader’s paramount responsibility to listen to its “clients,” that is, the citizens of Auburn’s diverse community. Only then can our elected leaders truly gauge what the community wants and fight for its interests. I expect our City Council members to embrace this kind of leadership, rather than “go along to get along,” which is, no doubt, easier. The deputy mayor, along with the mayor and Councilman Wagner, support the $12.7 million community center that is in the planning stages for Les Gove Park, based on an outdated survey eight years ago.

With three children, we frequent Auburn’s familyfriendly events throughout the year. And, with the many afflictions that affect our country at alarming rates, which are scientifically proven to result from sugar consumption (obesity, ADHD, heart disease, tooth decay, diabetes, cancer, just to name a few), as well as sugar allergies, I am surprised each time we show up to these events only to see nearly every booth passing out only sugar laden candy to every passerby. As information and studies surface about the dangers of sugar consumption, there are numerous others who, like us, are becoming

My brother, Gary L. Holz, and I grew up in Auburn and graduated from Auburn High School. We also served in combat in Vietnam, myself with the 4th Infantry Division as a 11 Bravo (combat rifleman). My brother served with the 1st Cavalry Air Assault Team as a door gunner on a Huey chopper. We served in Vietnam at the same time and fought alongside of the RVN (Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces) troops who lead us into the jungles and mountains of Vietnam. The RVN troops showed me strength and courage in combat, well protecting their country and assisting the American military with great pride and respect for our soldiers. My brother and I fought hard with the RVN troops. However, on Oct. 5 1967,
aware and are following a path to good health. Add to that the many who suffer from ailments, which keep them from consuming sugar, and I see no reason why it is still being peddled at these events as the only option for a “treat.” It also really amazes me to watch as my kids tell the candy pushers, “no, thank you,” only to see some who will still try and force (literally) candy into their hands. It’s frustrating when we go to Kids Day and almost all of the prizes are candy. It’s disappointing to walk down the booth aisles at the various other festivals and have candy as the only treat option for the kids. And it’s maddening when people don’t understand a simple “no, thank you.” As a patriot of this country, I certainly don’t stand by unconstitutional moves like those attempted in New York where citizens were told they can’t buy certain sized sodas or other unhealthy options. It’s not anyone’s place to tell someone what they can and cannot put into their own body. However, what about offering other alternatives? As much as kids like candy, they also love stickers, temporary tattoos, little prizes/ trinkets, etc., and many of these are just as cost effective as candy. Why be stuck in the misguided notion that candy is the only way to a kid’s heart? – Lisa McIntyre

Gary L. Holz and five other crew members were killed in action when their Huey went down. I was sent home after his death. I have the deepest respect for the RVN troops who helped me come home at a great cost to human lives on their side as much as ours. The RVN troops deserve to be honored alongside the American troops. We all fought together against North Vietnam for the same reason. We should be honored together as well. My family, myself and my brother who gave all would appreciate your support for this American/Vietnamese memorial (in Auburn).

munity members, to speak up for them, to vigorously question the “deciders,” and yes, to sometimes stand up against arbitrary decisionmaking – on principle, rather than to win a popularity contest. I strongly disagree with Ms. Cutler’s claim that “the best choice the citizens of Auburn could make is to elect Nancy Backus … and that we will all be the better for it.” I have seen no evidence that this would be true. In contrast, by electing her, we will vote for four more years of Mayor Lewis’s “same old, same old.” My vote is for a breath of fresh air, new ideas and a thoughtful independent thinker who is excited about Auburn’s future. That is why I support John Partridge for mayor of Auburn. He listens. He questions. He debates. He is the one candidate who will truly help Auburn become “More than you Imagined.” – Regina Hauptmann

www.auburn-reporter.com [ GUIER from page 1 ] healing the rift that split the city during Sun’s shortened term as mayor. To facilitate that healing, the city looks to Guier. The longtime community activist says community service is her lifeblood. “It’s a passion I didn’t know I had, it was just uncovered,” Guier said. “I was never a history or politics buff when I was in school. That stuff didn’t matter or appeal to me. I was not the most scholarly-type student. I had a bit of a shady background, I would say. I hung out on the wrong side of the tracks.” For Guier, who graduated from Spokane’s North Central High School in 1979, those forays to the wrong side of the tracks eventually led to a drinking problem. In 1985 she lost her mother, Carol Ann, to fatty liver disease caused by alcohol abuse. At the time, Guier was 30-days clean and sober. “That was my first attempt at sobriety,” she said. “And I lasted for about four years, then went back out for another four years.” It took the threat of losing custody of her only child, daughter Cariane, now 24, for sobriety to stick. “That was my bottom, that’s what got me thinking about doing things right,” Guier said. “About a year before I moved over here, I went to rehab and became clean and sober. It will be 19 years this October.” In 1995, Guier moved to Western Washington, taking up residence first in Renton then moving into the Cobble Court Apartments in Pacific.
67
“I really liked the area, the accessibility to Seattle, to Tacoma and to my work,” she said. Eventually, after making the switch from retail management to a career as a pipe-fitter, maintaining, assembling, planning and repairing mechanical piping systems, Guier bought a house in Pacific. She soon found herself involved with local organizations, beginning with her daughter’s Girl Scout troop. “That’s how I started getting involved in the community,” Guier said. Then came volunteering gigs with the local Lions Club and Pacific Partnerships. Soon, former Mayor Richard Hildreth tapped her to serve on the planning commission. “He came to my door and said there was an opening on the planning commission, and ‘I think you would be good at that.’” After four years on the commission, one of them as chair, Guier was appointed to the City Council in 2009, replacing Nicole Hagestad, who had resigned. Guier said things went well her first couple of years on the council. Then, in 2011, Sun, a write-in candidate, was chosen as mayor, unseating Hildreth and defeating City Councilmember John Jones. “I was concerned in the beginning because I’d only seen him at one council meeting,” she said. “So I wasn’t sure how experienced or how much knowledge he had about it. But the citizens elected him, so, as council president, it was my job to work with him.” Guier said issues between
City staff, including former City Clerk Jane Montgomery, and Sun began right away. “She (Montgomery) would come to my house and say, ‘You’re not going to believe what is going on.’” Despite stories of Sun’s questionable decisions regarding city staff, Guier said, she was helpless to do anything at the time. “I’m a council person; I just set policy,” she said. Then, in July 2012, letters warning of the potential loss of the City’s liability insurance began to arrive.
“There were so many things that we would try to tell him, to help him,” Guier said. “The perception in the beginning was that we were against the mayor, and that’s not true. There were only a couple members that were verbally and vocally against the mayor. There were four of us that were on his side. We would meet with him and tell him how to do things, how to go about getting things done. And we’d think he’d have it, and it wouldn’t happen that way, and he would do the opposite. Or do something that would just get us in trouble.
We would set policy, but it didn’t matter. We could put all the policies in place, but it didn’t matter because they needed to be adhered to, and weren’t.” Guier said that just getting through the past 18 months was tough. “To be totally powerless was hard,” she said. “We all got on the council to make a difference and help. We didn’t get into it for the money, and there is absolutely no power, there is no prestige. We do it because we care and want to make a difference in our community. To sit there
powerless and watch these things go on and on, it was tough to hang in there thinking we were going to see the other side of it. I wonder how many councilmembers would still be there if we hadn’t passed the recall?” Now, with Sun’s time as mayor over, Guier said, it’s all about moving forward. “We have a strong council, and we all have the same goals and interest to move the city forward and get everything back on track,” she said.

[12] July 19, 2013 [ CHARGES from page 1 ] behind it, killing Love on impact. According to court papers, the force of the collision flipped Gonzalez’ vehicle onto its roof and it slid to a stop just south of the taxi. Gonzalez, bleeding from his arm, immediately crawled out, according to court papers. Although a witness offered to help him to a curb, court papers say, Gonzales ran away
www.auburn-reporter.com westbound on foot, without first checking for any possible injuries to the occupants of either vehicle. Police caught up with Gonzales at 2nd and South Division, and with the help of a witness, identified him as the driver of the SUV. There, showing obvious signs of impairment, according to court papers, Gonzales admitted that he was “intoxicated.” The excuse Gonzales gave officers for speeding, according
to court papers, was that he’d been coming from “a drug deal” gone bad and that he was fleeing “after being chased by some black guys.” He also mentioned leaving a party some time before the collision. Police obtained a search warrant for Gonzalez’ blood to check for intoxicants. The results of the tests are pending. Moses, who sustained serious injuries, had to be extricated from the vehicle. She was taken
to Multicare Auburn Medical Center, where she was treated and released the same day. She has declined to cooperate with the investigation. The extent of her injuries is unknown. According to court papers, Gonzalez is a convicted felon, who was sentenced to more than 10 years in Thurston County for assault 2 and kidnapping 1 in 2001. He was released last December but is on active community custody
for those crimes. Among his juvenile convictions are escape 1 (Grant County, Nov. 2000,) assault 3 (Grays Harbor, 1999), vehicle prowl-robbery 1 (Grays Harbor, 1999), assault 4 (1996 and 1998), theft 2 (1997) residential burglary (1997), two counts of vehicle prowl (1997), two counts of theft (1996) and using a cell phone while driving (April 2013).
Auburn man shot 16 times files $20M suit against DOC
F R A N C I S C A N H E A LT H S Y S T E M
A King County Sheriff’s detective and a Department of Corrections officer burst into Dustin Theoharis’ room on Feb. 11, 2012 and shot him 16 times as he lay in his bed. The officers later claimed Theoharis had reached in the darkness for what they thought was a gun. He was unarmed. Theoharis, severely wounded, has since undergone 16 surgeries to repair the damage. Despite a recent finding that the officers had acted in self-defense and the King County Prosecutor’s
refusal to pursue the case, the county agreed to pay Theoharis $3 million. Now the Auburn man’s family has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the DOC. “Without a warrant, you shoot an unarmed man while he’s in his bed 16 times,” Eric Heipt, one of Theoharis’ attorneys, told KCPQ 13. “I don’t know how you could possibly conclude that to be a justified shooting.” Reviewing a report demanding change in the King County Sheriff’s Office in the wake of the shooting Wednesday, King County Council members wondered much the same thing.

"It examines the logic of nonsense, love of friends and ideas, the literal power of poems, and gives a whole family – a borrowed one works – a delightful excuse to hang out with a picnic on a lark in a park for an afternoon," Holland said. Theater Simple created the show, a "variety of storytelling tactics mashed up with poetry, songs, puppets and an ample serving of sass," for all ages. For the Auburn performances, Holland said, the troupe will present a series of 10-15 pop-up performances with
July 19, 2013 [15] guitar interludes, rather than the entire, linear performance usually presented. "These adventures are for everyone with a curious mind, a generous heart and a playful love of words,” Holland added. The troupe will also perform the play this summer at the Ballard Locks on Aug. 3-4 and at the Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park in Kent at 1 p.m. Aug. 11. The same performance will be part of this year's Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. Performances are free, but donations to cover performance costs are encouraged.

A horse named Hope
www.auburn-reporter.com
By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Darrin Paul knew the filly was special from the start. Bought at the Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owner’s Association Yearling Sale in 2008, Cathy Z’s Hope, or simply Hope, however would prove to be more than special. Despite a shortened threesession career on the track at Emerald Downs, Hope became one of the most inspirational horses ever to race at the Auburn track. “This one has an amazing story,” Paul said. Paul, a breeder and owner based in Bothell, bought Hope less than a year after his mother-in-law, Catherine Zoe DeMatteis, lost her 10-year battle with ovarian cancer and died on June 10, 2007. “I thought it might be a good idea to name the horse after her,” Paul said of

www.auburn-reporter.com better,” he said. “It was a 60day process to get her better, and after the Fourth of July, she came back and resumed the normal life of a horse.” Initially, Paul said, he didn’t think Hope would ever be able to race. “I figured she wouldn’t be good for racing because of the collapsed lung but that she would potentially make a good brood mare,” Paul said. Despite his doubts, however, Paul turned Hope over to Lucarelli to prepare her for the track. “We just took it slow,” Paul said. “I kept expecting the call that she wasn’t going to make it. But she loved it. She loved to run. She would drag the riders to the track.”
In June 2010 Hope took to the track for the first time, three years after the death of her namesake. “It’s pretty amazing that she had the perseverance to fight through and live,” Paul said. “It was a victory of sorts for her just to have her on the track and racing.” In her first Cathy Z’s Hope outing, Hope ran a strong race, finishing third. Then Paul and Lucarelli decided to start running the horse in mile events. “It was amazing because when we started running her a mile in her next 12 of
14 races, she ran second or better,” Paul said. “She’s the only horse that I’m aware of that has come back from something like that and raced.” Before Hope’s retirement last season, Paul said he invited some of DeMatteis’ family and friends down to watch her run. “We also had some of the people from the Rivkin Center come down and watch,” Paul said. “There was a lot of energy around. She ended up winning. It was a very special and emotional time for a lot of people.” Now Hope is retired and set to produce the next generation of Thoroughbreds. “She’s actually in foal to Stevie Wonderboy, the win-
ner of the 2005 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile,” Paul said. He added that any offspring of Hope that make it to the track will also race to raise money for the Rivkin Center. “It was just such a wonderful experience, we’ve pledged that we’ll continue it,” Paul said. “We never could have imagined the heartfelt parallels with Cathy and Hope’s unrelenting will to live. None of us thought she would ever race with all the lung damage she had, but sometimes the unexplained reinforces the faith to never give up.”

...obituaries Vernon E. Mounts Vern was born May 11, 1936 in Auburn, WA to Neil and Maurine Mounts and passed peacefully on June 28, 2013 from a long and hard battle with kidney disease. He had been an airman in the Naval Reserves after graduation. He had worked for the railroad and Dray and Moore Auto Sales before hiring on at Boeing in 1958. Vern lived in Auburn his entire life and raised his family there. He retired in 1995 as a systems analyst after 36 years with the company. He was one of the founding members of the Green River Steelhead-Trout Club and loved the family outings and Saturday night potlucks. He had been a member of the Auburn J.C’s and chaperoned two Miss Auburns. Also, a member of the R.M.E.F., N.R.A., the F.O.E., High Cedars and Lake Tapps Mens Club. He coached peewee football, played in a mens fast pitch league as well as a Boeing slow pitch keg league. Vern was an avid fisherman and hunter, having taught firearm safety classes with Pop. He like to golf, garden and go camping. He took up intarsia when he could no longer do the outdoor things that he loved. Vern was predeceased by both parents; a brother Gary and niece Julie Ann. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Carlene; 3 sons, David (Cyndy) of Auburn, Steven (Hallie) of Keizer, OR, and Eric of Auburn; brother, William of Renton. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Dustin, Kehla, Dominique, Ashlee, Elena, Dillon, and Dakota; four great-grandchildren, Kadon, Karah, Bradlee, Kwynn and a very reliable source said he already met his 5th great-grandchild Gabriel who is due in August. Also surviving him are several nieces, nephews, cousins, wonderful neighbors, lifelong friends of the A.H.S. Class of 1954 and his ever faithful shadow Shelby. At his request there were no services. He was cremated and his ashes will be scattered where he and Pop hunted every year. The family requests any remembrances be made to the A.D.A. (American Diabetes Association).
