Which way to the mall? Streets to be renamed

“I go to the clinic across the street,” said McHenry, pausing to talk last Friday during a classroom lesson at the MultiCare Nurse Camp at Tacoma General Hospital. “They are always so kind, and so I always wanted to be a nurse.” Doctors are treating the Auburn Mountainview High

School student for aplastic anemia, a rare blood disease. McHenry says she feels fine now. On the cusp of her senior year, her prognosis is good. Soon McHenry will turn her attention back to that day’s lesson – learning to suture pigs feet.

Long-awaited M Street SE underpass opens to traffic BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

After plenty of speechmaking offered up by dignitaries under clear skies at the intersection of 4th Street Southeast and M Street Southeast Monday afternoon, Auburn City Councilmembers and other leaders piled into a Pirsch antique fire engine.

The engine pushed through a red ribbon, and Auburn’s M Street Southeast underpass was open. It all happened before a perspiring but happy crowd of more than 100, and under the eyes of the workers who built it, a clutch of them watching from the top of the underpass. [ more PROJECT page 10 ]

Eastbound SR 18 will remain open to local traffic only between Auburn Way South and Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road. All lanes of westbound SR 18 will remain open. WSDOT crews will not provide drivers with a signed, turn-by-turn detour; however, there are several ways to detour around the eastbound SR 18 lane closures. The City of Auburn has provided WSDOT with two suggested alternate routes:

Turn right onto SR 516 until you reach eastbound SR 18. • From SE AuburnBlack Diamond Road exit: Exit eastbound SR 18 and continue on SE Auburn-Black Diamond Road. Turn left onto Kent Black-Diamond Road SE. The road becomes 152nd Avenue SE. Turn right onto SR 516 until you reach eastbound SR 18. For more information on the project, visit www. wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr18/ greenriverbridgerhap. Advisory: Now through Sept. 5, construction of roadway and utility improvements related to the Green River Community College expansion project will require lane restrictions for traffic on 320th Street SE from 120th Street SE and 124th Street SE.

Man pleads not guilty to vehicular homicide in crash that killed cab driver Floyd D. Gonzales, 29, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment July 23 to charges of vehicular homicide, felony hit and run, and reckless endangerment for allegedly causing the collision that killed popular Auburn taxi driver Brian Love in the early morning hours of July 5. The King County Prosecutor CERT: The City of Auburn Emergency Management Office announces the addition of 11 new members to the area’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). The 11 new members graduated from the area’s 29th CERT course, which included 24 intensive hours of training over six weeks. The training culminated in a hands-on practical exercise simulating an earthquake. Graduates of the class were: Bill Bauman, Linda and Ridge Hottle, Tyler Kight, Brownie Kocher, Don and Kathleen Olson of Auburn, Trevor Carroll and Rebecca Hall of Burien, Rachel McGraw of Covington, and Byron Kidder of Pacific. The next CERT class is Tuesday, Aug. 20. Information and applications can be found at www.auburnwa.gov/ disaster.

That means the kids will be better behaved than when they’re waiting on the bus.” – Auburn School District Kip Herren, on the opening of the M Street Southeast underpass.

Our teachers getting a closer examination Those wondering what public school teachers do all day are going to get an answer. Tucked deep in Washington’s new two-year budget is money for a study to find out what a “typical work day” looks like for thousands of teachers toiling away in the state’s 295 school districts. Lawmakers specifically want “an estimate of the percent of a teacher’s typical day that is spent on teaching related duties and the percentage of the teacher’s day that is spent on duties that are not directly related to teaching.” They’ve asked Central Washington University’s respected College of Education and Professional Studies to figure it out for a paltry $25,000. Researchers there intend to use much of the next school year to collect details of teachers’ daily lives in small, medium and large schools situated on both sides of the Cascades and in all corners of the state. With logs, surveys, interviews or other means, they will try to reveal how teachers pass the hours, a subject of much debate in an unending political inquest of public education. “It’s an old question that no one has ever answered with data,” said Linda Schactler, director of public affairs for the Ellensburgbased university. “We’ve answered it with anecdotes. We think we know, but we haven’t actually done the research.” It’s hard to not sit through a legislative hearing on the quality of Washington schools without a champion of education reform insisting the system is failing students because teachers are not spending enough time teaching. This is followed by a rebuttal from a teacher-type saying they can’t spend more time teaching because it is tied up on tasks required by the state like compiling reports and conducting tests. Rep. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, proposed the study by the university because he was tired of listening to the back-and-forth in front of the House Education Committee on which he serves. While he thinks teachers are weighted down by state-imposed chores, he wanted to find out if it’s actually true. Jerry Cornfield

Elect Backus as our next mayor Nancy Backus is the person we need to bring our city into the next generation. I served the City of Auburn as mayor for eight years. I know how difficult the job is and what it takes to hold that office. I can say with high certainty that Nancy has all of the qualities and more to lead our city forward into the future. There are many that are calling her “more of the same” or one of the “good ol’ boys,” which tells me that they don’t know Nancy or haven’t spoken with her to know that this is an untrue characterization. I have watched Auburn campaigns closely and I have to commend Nancy for running a positive, intelligent and professional campaign. I want to support and vote for a person that believes that Auburn is a great place to live and raise children. She is a person that already has made and maintained the partnerships Auburn needs to improve our roads, bring in large and small business to increase our tax base and has the financial background to create funding to hire more police officers for our public safety. These are some of her priorities and I could not agree more that these objectives should be her focus as our next mayor. I have heard some negative statements about Auburn and Nancy in the media and it saddens me to hear these comments because this kind of divisiveness does not move the

We all want a good quality of life and the necessary city services to sustain Auburn into the future. We can do this by electing a qualified dedicated person such as Nancy Backus. Nancy realizes there are opportunities that can be done to improve local government. Nancy is not adverse for change that will create more programs to help our citizens and businesses thrive. This tells me she is someone that is realistic about the state of the city and is knowledgeable about what our government can do for the people of Auburn. She knows there are things the city already does well and should continue doing them. She will always seek to change those things that need improvement. Auburn is “not broken.” My wife and I will be voting for the person who believes in our great 122-year-old city. We need a consensus builder,

a person who will stand with the citizens of Auburn and a person who will listen to the people of Auburn - and Nancy Backus is the qualified candidate to be Auburn’s next mayor. – Charles A. Booth

Backus gets my vote for mayor This upcoming election will provide us an opportunity to look at three candidates to lead the City of Auburn. After reviewing the qualifications of all three candidates, I am excited to be supporting Nancy Backus to be the next mayor of Auburn. Nancy has spent the last ten years on the city council and has served on a variety of committees. The last two years, she has served as our deputy mayor. I first got to know Nancy when she was involved in Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound. While already a leader in so many places, Nancy still sought out opportunities to improve her skills and become more familiar with local and regional issues. She was recognized by this organization in 2012 as the outstanding alumnus of the year. Nancy's business experience as a long-time employee of the Boeing Company has also prepared her for the challenges of running a city. [ more letters page 6 ]

[6] July 26, 2013 [ LETTERS from page 5 ] Finally, Nancy is just a great person. She is so approachable for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether presenting DARE awards at Chinook Elementary or talking about city growth, Nancy is a person that others want to work with. I can’t imagine a better mayor for the city of Auburn. – Anne Baunach

Pondelick is right choice for mayor I agree with the July 19 letter of Laurie E. Sison in the Auburn Reporter issue. It’s well said and she nailed it when she wrote that “Auburn needs to be fixed.” The residents of this town are indeed fed up and “tired of seeing the same old downtown that looks like a deserted ghost town.” And that this city needs “young business owners and young families to take over the reins of Auburn … to revitalize its growth.” I also have lived in this town for over a decade, and I have grown fond of it and of its people through the years. But unfortunately, what many residents of this town and I have seen, just like what Ms. Sison had seen, had been the deteriorating

www.auburn-reporter.com looks of this town. I also believe that Scot Pondelick, being the new guy on the block, has the right ideas and the plan on how to invigorate this city to the “next level.” And he truly listens to various “concerns” of the residents of this town. I’ve emailed my own concern to Pondelick, and my concern was about the rusting and deteriorating infrastructures on the railroad side of A Street. I specifically pointed out the rusting World War II Quonset huts on the property of Tyee Cedar and Lumber store. I told him that it’s an “eyesore,” as well as a “hazard to the public.” He immediately emailed me back and looked into it. He went there himself to investigate my concern. He said that because it sets on a private property, those rusting eyesores cannot be legally removed from the property, but evergreen trees and some bushes can be planted on the side of the street next to these eyesores to cover them from view. He provided a viable solution to my concern, and that tells me he would listen to every resident’s concern. I also emailed Ms. Nancy Backus about the matter. But it took her over a month to respond. And she reasoned that there’s nothing she can do about the matter, because it does not violate

Finding the Connection Since 1989

the enforcement code of the City of Auburn. And that those Quonset huts have got a “historical and military value” in them and that she would get them moved to a museum. When would that take place, Ms. Backus didn’t say. Time to fix Auburn. Let’s have the new guy on the block take its reins. He’s also an Army veteran, whose job then in Iraq was to look for IED’s that were planted on its war-torn streets and to defuse them. A job that I believe entails nerves of steel. And a trait that I also believe would make him the best man for the job as mayor of Auburn. – Jesse Jose

City needs to maintain property If you drive up Mill Pond Drive Southeast across from Auburn Riverside High School, you will see, or should I say, you can see, part of the monument that reads “Lakeland Hills North.” The grass has grown so tall it is now hiding the flowers that were planted in front of the monument. Whose responsibility is it? I have lived in the Mill Pond condominiums for the past seven years and this grass has always been maintained. That is until this spring and now summer. The Lakeland Hills Homeowners Association told me the property belongs to the apartments on 47th. The apartments say it belongs to the City of Auburn. Who should be mowing this now two-feet high grass that has now turned to seed? Mayor Lewis, you live off Mill Pond, do you not see this tall grass every day when you drive down Mill Pond Drive, or do you go the other way so you don’t

have to look at it? The City of Auburn could afford to spend a million dollars on a brick street to nowhere, but we can’t spend money to mow the grass? Come on, City of Auburn, this is a code violation on someone’s part. Find out whose and fix the problem. Or should we just buy a couple of goats? – Faye Cunningham

Enforce housing regulation, don’t debate ‘family’ Your July 5 front page article, “City debates definition of ‘family’ in wake of housing woes”, described properties that have jerryrigged student rental rooms inside houses. Apparently, these properties are “overcrowded, generate noise problems, don’t adequately dispose of garbage, and are creating health risks with numerous fire and electrical problems not to mention causing an increase in rat populations.” So, I ask myself, why debate the definition of “family?” Are not these electrical, construction, garbage and noise problems already covered by existing City regulations? If these problems are covered by existing regulations, why not enforce the regulations? If these problems are not covered, shouldn’t the regulations be updated? Why bring into the mix a factor (defining what is a family) that really should not be part of the solution but instead confuses the actual issues? It seems to me the real issues are not being addressed; that there is some other motive behind this misdirected debate. Is it no wonder the common voter gets confused, frustrated and then apathetic with the actions of government?

As for student housing, students renting a space to live should have the assurance they will not be exposed to electrical, construction, garbage and other health and safety hazards. When I was a poor student struggling with rent and other living expenses, never was I faced with such hazards as described in this article. One factor that insured adequate living space was the university required all single student housing be approved prior to allowing a student to register. So it seems to me there are already ways to solve these housing issues without debating side issues such as is the moon really made of blue cheese. – John C. Hales

Market has a great manager, team Thank you, market manager Joanne Macnab and your volunteer brigade, for making the Auburn International Farmers Market an outstanding asset to our community. The market offers something for everyone: a variety of vendors, fun events, entertainment and guest speakers. As a board member and president of Auburn Valley Creative Arts (AVCA), I have personal experience with the professionalism, responsiveness to concerns and welcoming atmosphere that Joanne and her team have created. AVCA is especially grateful for the welcome and encouragement we received from market personnel when we set up our first booth. That same attitude of helpfulness and friendliness is still there over a year later. We love sharing our art and connecting with the community on Market Day. The AVCA Board joins me in thanking you, Joanne and team, for all that you do.

Fish consumption rate is unclear I think Billy Frank’s column in My Turn (“Time to move forward on fish consumption rate”, Auburn Reporter, July 7) is inappropriate to be published in your paper. Not because it uses inappropriate language or anything like that, but because it presents information that the general public cannot understand. Mr. Frank did not describe what the fish consumption rate is, and only a person who has been deeply involved in water pollution activities would know that. The rest of us would be clueless. I spent over two hours going through the Washington Department of Ecology site and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality site, and now I think I know what the phrase “fish consumption rate” means. I think it is the amount of seafood from local waters that a person can eat each day without getting a dangerous amount of pollution from the seafood. It is a measure of the amount of pollutants in the water. A higher number means that a person can eat more fish without danger, which means that the waters are less polluted. If this understanding is wrong, someone please correct me. After looking over the above sites, I tend to agree with Mr. Frank that the Washington Department of Ecology has been kowtowing to industry (to let industrial polluters avoid cleaning up their discharges) far too long, and the information Ecology needs to set a new and higher fish consumption rate is readily available. Get on with it, Ecology. You were hired to protect us. – Pete Beaupain

Q&A Q. Why are you running for this office? A. To serve the citizens of Auburn. My passion for service has increased and been fine-tuned over the 40-plus years that I have been volunteering, and for the past 10 years as an elected. Q. What are the top three problems facing the City of Auburn? A. 1. Jobs. The creation of jobs through economic development is critical. 2. Roads. We need to work at all levels – federal, state, regional and local to find the money. 3. (Public) safety. We could definitely be more effective and efficient with at least five additional officers. I am working to support the hiring of those five officers. Q. And how are your abilities a good match for those problems? A. I have a proven track record for working collaboratively – finding the important issues and concerns, bringing folks together and asking the difficult questions. I am a professional business person with a compassionate heart – willing to take responsibility and share in the success. It may be my name that appears on the ballot but I am working for Auburn. Q. What sets you apart from your opponents? A. Experience and passion. As the chair of the Planning & Community Development Committee (PCDC) and former chair of Finance, I have worked hard and had the good fortune of bringing forward ordinances and resolutions that can truly benefit Auburn and our Economic Development. Another obvious difference – I am female. I am not running on that platform, but it is a fact, and Auburn is ready for a female mayor – bringing a new perspective to leadership.

Statement I am proud and humbled to be endorsed by, among many others, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers - IAM Local 751, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Pierce County Republicans, Pierce County Young Democrats, Congressman Dave Reichert, State Rep. Chris Hurst, King County Councilmember Julia Patterson, Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, and former Mayor Chuck Booth.

Q&A Q. Why are you running for this office? A. We are standing at a key moment in the future of our city, a moment that calls for responsive leadership willing to listen to and serve the community. Four years ago, I was elected to the council. While I served, I learned the business of the City, brought fresh perspectives and gained understanding of its needs. I am ready and want to give Auburn the best third of my working career as your mayor. Q. What are the top three problems facing the City of Auburn? A. 1. Safety of our families and community 2. Securing funding for roads and walkways 3. Making sure your voice is heard Q. And how are your abilities a good match for those problems? A. In addition to my education and public service experience, I am a successful small business owner in the private sector. That role requires the ability to manage, serve, market, lead and ultimately produce results. To meet today’s challenges, we need a courageous, independent, innovative leader that is transparent, accountable, and trustworthy. This is what I will bring as mayor. A. What sets you apart from your opponents? A. Entrenched leadership tends to rely on itself, it supports and defends decisions made in the past, forgets who it is here to serve, and resists change. As mayor, I believe my experience and fresh perspective will better serve the interests of the people of Auburn. I will listen to our citizens, council members and staff and make City government empower Auburn to succeed.

Statement As a City councilmember, I demonstrated integrity and courage bringing fresh perspectives, accountability and balance to City government. After listening to the public and weighing all the facts, I stood alone and voted to maintain our local municipal court. When faced with sizable increases for diminished animal control services from King County, I led the effort to forge partnerships creating the Auburn Valley Humane Society. The result was better services, reduced costs, job creation and a premium animal shelter. I envision Auburn continuing to emerge as a destination for families and businesses. A vote for me is a vote for a better future for our community and its children. I am endorsed by your Valley Professional Fire Fighters.

Q&A Q. Why are you running for mayor? A. Auburn needs a new direction, a direction that incorporates all the citizens and businesses. We need to work toward a better future, or be left behind. I want to ensure that Auburn not only grows economically but our community grows, too. By following my guidelines with the budget, economic development, and building community together, we can bring Auburn to a high economic standard that businesses and citizens not only need but deserve. Q. What are the three biggest issues facing Auburn? A. Budget – reduce losses with governmentowned businesses and reinvest savings into our roads. Economic development – Spur economic development by working with small businesses throughout the city and encourage new youthful businesses within our downtown. Building community – Create and expand innovative partnerships with the school district and local college to develop creative arts programs to promote a sense of community ownership through the arts. Q. Why are your abilities a good match for these problems? A. My abilities are a good match for these problems because of my unique ability to recognize issues and to find sensible solutions to those issues. By using common sense and outside-thebox thinking, I can effectively and efficiently find solution in a timely manner. Q. What sets you apart from the other candidates? A. What sets me apart from the other candidates is that I come with a fresh outlook. This being the first time involving myself with the political system, I can see the problems from an outside prospective and offer innovative solutions. I do not consider myself to be a “politician” but a concerned citizen trying to make a difference in our community.

Statement Over the years of my service, I developed leadership abilities that have been proven in combat, and I intend to use these skills and the skills I have learned throughout my life to bring my home town back to life. For over a year now, I have been attending all the committee meetings to fully understand the problems within our community and developing solutions to these problems.

In addition to increasing ethnic and racial diversity in health care, a growing number of young men are pursuing careers in nursing. MultiCare Nurse Camp encourages and supports that trend. “It is my hope that Nurse Camp students begin to visualize themselves as future nurses and become even more motivated to pursue this career path,” said Nurse Camp Director Jamilia Sherls, MPH, BSN, RN. “It would be great if these students returned to MultiCare one day as a nurse or another health professional.”

But he isn’t so naïve to believe the results will quell the debate on how teachers spend their time in the classroom. “You’ll still have the naysayers saying it won’t mean anything,” he said.

The cost to the City is expected to be minimal, limited mainly to administrative costs, Tate said.

[10] July 26, 2013 [ PROJECT from page 1 ] A snappy ending to a project whose realization was anything but. “So long in coming,” Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis said about the Freight Action Strategy for Seattle-Tacoma (FAST) Corridor project, which dates to the administration of his predecessor, Chuck Booth, in the 1990s. Those projects were designed to improve freight mobility by removing traffic chokepoints. The project, on which actual construction began in February 2012, separates M Street Southeast from the at-grade Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway’s Stampede Pass rail crossing. Without that

www.auburn-reporter.com separation, there would soon have been interminable backups, while traffic waited for anticipated mile - long trains to make their way along the tracks. “This makes a difference for our city, this makes a difference for the Puget Sound Region ... Burlington Northern Santa Fe having the ability to open Stampede Pass when it chooses,” Lewis said, praising every agency and board that played a role in making it happen and a City Council “that never, ever quit.” Funding for the $22.3 million project came from multiple sources, among them the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, BNSF Railway, the Washington State Transportation Improve-

ment Board (TIB), the Washington State Freight Mobility and Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB), the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund Board, federal grants, the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks-Wastewater Treatment Division and local funds. Rich Wagner, chairman of the City’s Public Works Committee, recalled one especially dark moment when the project, halfway through the planning stages but without good prospects for getting the necessary funding, stood on the brink of oblivion. “About halfway through this, the Public Works Committee actually con-

Job well done: Workers who built the M Street Southeast underpass watch the official grand opening ceremonies from the top of the underpass Monday afternoon. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter sidered terminating it,” Wagner recalled. “We were in such a bind for funding, and having people like the ports and others step forward, and the (state Transportation Improvement Board), they really pushed it over the top and made it happen. … There are hundreds involved in making this happen, and they all deserve credit.” Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren explained why this particular project matters so much to the district’s 15,000 students and to its buses, which put in almost 1.2 million miles every year. Before Monday, school buses would line up all the way through the lights north on M Street Northeast. “The wheels on the bus

can go ‘round, and we can make more efficient stops. We won’t spend as much time at the lights, so we’ll save fuel. That means the kids will be better behaved than when they’re waiting on the bus. It means there’ll be better stops along the way for all of our students and families,” Herren said. Some 600 trucks per day cross M Street, and the underpass project eliminates daily closures that can add 15 minutes to a truck’s trip, said Dan Gatchett, chairman of the state Freight Mobility-Strategic Investment Board, which contributed $6 million to the project. He said FMSIB’s mission is to eliminate freight chokepoints and mitigate freight impacts to the communities. “At $60 an hour for the

trucking industry, it doesn’t take long for FMSIB’s investment to pay off,” Gatchett said. The M Street underpass is the last of the FAST Corridor projects. Among them is the 3rd Street Southwest grade separation. “Fast Corridor was an idea that we could begin to put together a number of transportation projects from the port of Seattle and across the Cascades,” said Port of Seattle Commissioner Bill Bryant. “Today we are celebrating not just opening the M Street underpass but the completion of that corridor, which is going to allow us to keep jobs here in Washington State.”

Raven makes his way home Former star player returns to Auburn Riverside as girls basketball head coach

For the Reporter

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

It may very well have been the millionth time he'd fired a basketball at one of the rims inside the Auburn Riverside High School gymnasium. And watched his shot hit nothing but net. “I’ve lived in this gym since 1995 when I was a ball boy,” Derek Pegram explained. Pegram, a 2004 ARHS graduate and star player, will be spending a lot more time on that court – now as head coach of the vaunted Ravens girls basketball program. “Getting to take over not only the program at the school that I went to and played for but also the program that has been so successful, I couldn’t ask for a better first varsity head coaching job, because this is the best varsity job in the state," Pegram said. Getting back to where he started has been quite the journey for Pegram. From 2000 to 2004, Pegram [ more PEGRAM page 13 ]

WA Cup gets a financial boost

In a familiar gym: Derek Pegram, who played basketball and graduated from Auburn Riverside, is back as the new coach of the heralded girls program. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

With five new title sponsors on board, a rejuvenated Washington Cup will feature six stakes races – each worth $50,000 – on Sunday, Sept. 8, at Emerald Downs. The new sponsorships have raised Washington Cup’s aggregate stakes purses to $300,000, a substantial raise from the $215,000 offered the last several years. Contributing $15,000 each are: Northwest Farms, Daily Racing Form, Comcast SportsNet, Jim Beam and Pegasus Training & Equine Rehabilitation Center. “We’re thrilled to announce these sponsorships,” said Sophia McKee, Emerald Downs director of marketing. “It’s gratifying to see so many people step forward [ more CUP page 13 ]

The Cup features two stakes apiece for 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and older horses. Washington Cup has been a showcase for several of the state’s all-time greatest Thoroughbreds. The list of Emerald Downs’ champions to win WA Cup races includes Noosa Beach, Wasserman, Atta Boy Roy, Queenledo, Ladyledue and Music of My Soul.

[ PEGRAM from page 12 ]

Telling himself that if he really wanted to "get into it", he had to finish his degree, however, Pegram left for Lewis and Clark State (College) in Idaho one year later and enrolled in the school’s kinesthesiology program. Soon he was invited to help out with the school’s girls basketball program. “I didn’t realize at first how good they were,” he said. “We were really good, ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation in the NAIA (National Association of Interscholastic Athletics) Division I. We made it to the national tournament and the sweet 16 in Jackson, Tenn.” Despite his foray into coaching collegiate athletics, Pegram missed coaching at the prep level. “I feel like you have more impact at the high school level, not just their basketball lives but in growing them up," Pegram said. "To me it’s just more fun. In college you get 12-15 kids; in high school you get a varsity, a JV, a freshman team. So you’re dealing with 30 or 40 kids every single year. To

played hoops for Tom Adams at ARHS. After graduation he moved on to North Seattle Community College to continue his playing career. But life on the hardwood as a player wasn’t in the cards for him. “Since I was a kid, I always wanted to coach. I never had the dream of playing in the NBA," Pegram said. After graduating from North Seattle, Pegram came back to ARHS to help Adams with the incoming freshman class. “He asked if I wanted to stay on and be a varsity assistant that next year,” Pegram said. “Then Doug (Aubert), who was the (junior varsity) coach, got the athletic director job. The chance for me to be the head JV coach at the age of 20 was too much to pass up.” In 2010, after three years with the Raven boys JV program, Pegram moved to Franklin Pierce High School to be a varsity assistant with Deon Moyd and Stan Harris. The team made it to the state tournament.

MAKING A SPLASH Four-time USA Water Polo Olympian Ryan Bailey, second from the left, was on hand at the Auburn Pool this past weekend hosting a clinic for local prep athletes from Auburn, Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview.

me that’s awesome. That’s what this is all about.” After a season helping the Lewis and Clark women's program, Pegram returned to coaching high school ball, taking over the junior varsity program at Lewiston High School. On the verge of graduation from Lewis and Clerk with a bachelor’s degree, he started looking for a high school varsity program in need of a head coach. “This job came open,” Pegram said of ARHS. “I knew that I wanted a head coaching position, and that I was graduating, so I drove over for interviews. Twice. During finals week. That was stressful. And I had biology finals too. That really sucked.” Pegram not only got a call back from Aubert but also a job offer. When he was making up his mind about applying for the ARHS job, Pegram added, the final decision was always going to turn on whether he wanted to live in Auburn again. Fortu-

nately, he said, he's a big fan not only of the program but also the community. "I’ve lived here most of my life, and I feel now is the time to for me to come back to Auburn in a way that I feel could be successful," Pegram said. Pegram was also excited that his mother, Shelly Pegram, stat keeper for the girls varsity program, would get the chance to see him coach every game. As for jumping right into leading a program that has not only been highly successful but also notorious for its corps of vocal and involved parents, Pegram said he welcomes the challenge. “People have warned me that I’m going to face parent issues. But you’re going to face parent issues wherever you go. I faced them in Idaho. As a first year varsity coach, I’m excited to deal with it, to be honest. Because I’m all about being the best coach I can, and if I have to deal with tough decisions right away, then good, I’ll learn quicker. I

Sally Joe Parry, 80 years young, passed into glory at her home in Auburn, Washington early on Sunday morning, June 30th, 2013. After years of bouncing back from pulmonary fibrosis, Sally’s generous heart quietly stopped in her sleep. Sally entered this world on March 13, 1933 in Ballard, Washington as the second youngest of six daughters born to Hattie Mittendorf and Archibald McCune: Janie Christoperson, Hazel Jobe, Leona Chestnut, Carol Backus, Sally, and Marilyn Breon. Sally attended Ballard high school, where she was known for her sense of humor and enthusiasm for dance and baton twirling. While working as an expediter at Boeing Aircraft Company in Seattle, Sally met Mark Parry, the love of her life. Sally and Mark were married in November of 1959 and bought a house in Auburn, where they raised their two children, Joyce and Doug. Together, their family enjoyed camping, music, art, and Husky games. After Mark was taken suddenly by cancer at the age of 54, Sally devoted her life to the church, to volunteering at the local hospital, to her senior center, to her kind and loving neighbors (many of whom called her “grandma”) and to her own children and grandchildren. A former opera singer and current Episcopal priest, Joyce gave Sally five grandchildren (two by birth and three through marriage) – Ariana Moore, Chris Frey, Emily Harvey, Peter Moore and Kiersten Bomford-Moore – and four great-grandchildren – Joel, Kale, Liam and Elena. A successful painter in Seattle and New York, Doug is Associate Professor of fine arts at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Doug tenderly cared for Sally during these final years of her life. Sally also loved all of her many nieces and nephews, and was especially close to Carol and Gus’ children, Steven, Christine and Kemon and their families. Sally loved animals and especially cared for her garden, the “park” on Pike Street.
