Rabies certification no longer required to obtain pet license By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Soon, Auburn residents won’t need a rabies certification to obtain a pet license. That requirement, said City Councilman Bill Peloza, had been a downward drag on pet license sales, which are vital to keeping the Auburn Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter on A Street Southeast in operation. “We did it to help increase pet license sales,” Peloza, chairman of the Municipal Services Committee, said Monday. While state law requires that pets be vaccinated for rabies every three years, the new rules eliminate the need to document the shots with King County and subsequently to provide paperwork to get the license. The AVHS needs healthy pet licensing revenues to repay a $250,000 loan the City of Auburn made it in 2010 to build the shelter. “Our pet licensing in Auburn has been slow because we had that rabies requirement. Pet licensing is the life blood of the shelter,” Peloza said.
SUPER DOGS Mary Hale, groomer at the Auburn Valley Animal Clinic, paints a Seahawk logo on Frankie Schultz, above, during the clinic’s Seahawks Spirit Party for Canines last Saturday. The clinic asked pet owners to bring in their dogs to receive special team coloring – from painted nails to logos and the No. 12 on the fur – in celebratation of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl meeting with the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Hale, right, paints Pan’s claws. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter
The City and the AVHS sell pet licenses. Through November, City Finance Director Shelley Coleman said recently, pet licensing revenues were about $150,000. “We’re not doing as well as the County did,” Coleman said. Because King County Animal Control does not require the rabies certification, Municipal Services Committee members studied the county’s comparatively fatter pet license sales revenues, and compared them with what the City had achieved to date. Committee members recently talked to veterinarians and shelter director Phil Morgan, who maintained that eliminating the rabies certification requirement would pose a low risk to public safety. The real rabies danger, veterinarian Don Edwards, a founding member of the AVHS, told the committee, is infected bats. “Your best way to ensure humans aren’t exposed to rabies is to vaccinate your pets, because pets come into contact with bats more than people do,” Edwards said. “All rabies for Washington in at least the last 100 years have come from bats.”

Police say ex-con swipes pickup truck from sleeping driver but doesn’t get far By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Above, Dr. Don Edwards, AVHS board president, left, joins Mayor Nancy Backus and John Partridge, AVHS supporter and former City Councilmember, to unveil the charter membership plaque.

While a Dodge Ram pickup truck sat disabled on the shoulder of Highway 18 in the early morning hours of Jan. 14, its owner, waiting for help to arrive, slept in the front seat. What the owner got instead, police say, was Mason Eubanks, mere hours after his release from the Clark County Jail, holding what appeared to be a weapon and demanding the vehicle. Eubanks, police say, got the truck but didn’t get far. Prosecutors on Jan. 30 formally charged the 22 year-old Sultan man with one count of theft of a motor vehicle. According to charging papers submitted by the Washington State Patrol, here is what happened. The truck’s owner was eastbound on Highway 18 near the Auburn-Black Diamond Road that morning when he ran out of gas.

papers, while Eubanks sat in the back of the deputy’s vehicle, he told a trooper that “he had been hitchhiking from Vancouver,” was “trying to get home to Snohomish County,” and that he “had been released from Clark County Jail” at 10 p.m. the previous day. When the trooper asked Eubanks why he had wanted the truck, at first he allegedly responded that he “saw the truck with the lights on.” But when the trooper repeated the question, Eubanks answered, “What truck?,” followed by an admission that he had “some booze” in him, according to court papers. As police subsequently learned, according to court papers, Eubanks and a friend had stolen a vehicle from the friend’s aunt in Vancouver and driven it to Auburn before getting involved in a hit and run near 148th Avenue Southeast, where they abandoned it.

He pulled to the shoulder, called his father for help and, waiting, fell asleep. A knock on the window, according to court papers, awakened the owner to an ugly demand from a man holding what the owner believed to be a gun. “Get out of the vehicle, or I will blow your brains out,” the man snarled, according to court papers. The owner left the truck, gave the keys to the man, walked away and called 911, keeping an eye on the thief, according to court papers. In court papers, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jason Rittenreiser wrote that Eubanks started the victim’s truck and drove it down the road about 100 yards before it stopped again. Eubanks then got out and walked away as his victim stayed on the line with police. A King County Sheriff ’s Officer later found Eubanks walking along Highway 18. According to charging

Sentencing for ‘Red Cloud’ moved to Feb. 28 Staff reports
Last Friday’s scheduled sentencing of confessed murderer Bradley Courville has been continued to 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center. “The defense attorney was out sick,” said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Courville, 25, pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement. Courville, who goes by the nickname “Red Cloud,” faces a range of 15 to 23 years in prison. At about 1:18 a.m. on Dec. 24, 2012, Auburn police found 26-year-old Quinn Oliver dead at a home in the 4000 block of Auburn Way South. A woman at the residence told police that before Oliver died, he had staggered inside and said that “Red Cloud” had stabbed him. Courville told police that the victim called him a name and he reacted by stabbing him multiple times. Courville also pleaded guilty to third-degree assault for assaulting an Auburn police officer after his arrest. Prosecutors are expected to recommend that Courville spend 19 years in prison.

– Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, on his defense’s task in facing the Denver Broncos in Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Things turn nasty in Olympia over climate change Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and Republican Sen. Curtis King may have set down their poison pens but are no closer to forging agreement on a transportation funding package. Their exchange of stinging missives last week on low-carbon fuel standards continues to punctuate negotiations and imperil chances of a bipartisan deal getting inked this session. King, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, is convinced Inslee will wait until lawmakers depart Olympia in March then unilaterally impose tougher standards for the level of carbon allowed in fuel sold to motorists. He insists this will drive up the price of gas, and he wants the governor to categorically deny he would act in such a manner. Inslee unquestionably views a low-carbon standard as a mechanism for developing cleaner fuels and a critical weapon in the fight against climate change which he’s made a signature issue in his first term. But he said he’s not discussed adopting any specific standard nor proposed anything resembling what King calls a “carbon fuel tax.” In other words, there is nothing up his sleeve and thus nothing to deny. What sparked the vitriolic scrap, especially when it seemed the sticking points between the House, Senate and governor were on things like what to do with the sales tax on road projects and the amount of money going to transit districts? It is the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy signed in October by the governors of California, Oregon and Washington, and the premier of British Columbia. As documents go, this is a fine specimen of political speak, an iteration of lofty promises and an escape clause for leaders not to keep them. In one section it says, “Washington will set binding limits on carbon emissions and deJerry Cornfield

Time for an upgrade, support the tech levy As a parent, a PTA president and a volunteer for the Auburn School District, I am writing to encourage Auburn voters to support the tech levy on the Feb. 11 ballot. I believe if you consider some of the numbers and facts involved in the context of computer technology today, you will agree that this levy is worth supporting. The last tech levy approved by Auburn voters was in 2005. To put this in some perspective, a typical desktop computer purchased in 2005 may have come with a 100-gigabyte (GB) hard drive. The laptop computer used to create this document has a hard drive with more than 400 gigabytes of storage. Few households these days have a computer or video game device that is more than nine years old. Chances are some of you are

Without the levy, the district will fall even further behind in its distribution and use of technology. Another important fact: this money will go toward replacing existing equipment,
upgrading software, covering the costs of online services and much-needed professional development. Money from the tech levy will not pay salaries for district employees. These tech levies are about our students and their everyday experiences in the classroom. Students benefit from a learning environment that takes them beyond dated textbooks. Teachers bring new dimensions to their lessons through the use of tools like interactive white boards and online services. In addition, not all students learn in the same way or at the same pace. Access to functioning computers and tablets with current software and apps allows teachers to tailor lessons to fit students’ needs. All students can progress in their learning when individuals with different needs are accommodated in the classroom.

REALTORS urge yes vote on technology levy for Auburn schools REALTORS® voted to join other supporters of a Technology Capital Projects Levy for the Auburn School District, not only by unanimous endorsement of the proposal, but also by pledging assistance for a “get-out-the-vote” campaign for the Feb. 11 election. The funding request, for six
years, replaces a 2005 levy and follows recommendations of a 40-member Citizens Ad Hoc Committee. “Realtors know first-hand about the value of good schools and technology,” said Larry Christensen, the 2014 president of Seattle KingCounty REALTORS® (SKCR),
in announcing the endorsement. That endorsement followed a presentation about the measure and discussion with members of the association’s Governmental & Public Affairs Committee. The district’s committee determined the levy is necessary to bring 21st Century learning tools into the
classroom. “Technology will be integral to administration and teaching and learning to prepare all students for career, college, and life beyond high school,” the report said. Sam Pace, a Realtor with Executive Real Estate and a housing [ more GUEST OP page 7 ]

GIVING BACK
Support the school levy, not the tech levy This letter is in opposition to the Auburn School District’s February technology levy. The levy raises $22 million to, among other things, provide a “laptop/tablet for every student.” I need to ask why every kindergarten student would need a tablet or laptop? And how often do we expect these devices to break? Can most 9-year-olds really be trusted not to drop and break a laptop? What skills can we expect a 6-year-old to learn from a tablet that they won’t learn from a workbook? I was part of the transitional generation. In grade school in the early 1990s, we were learning the basics from textbooks and chalk boards. By high school, computer courses had become standard, as well as research on the Internet. In spite of not having any computer education prior to seventh grade, I felt extremely well prepared for college and my career in engineering, which is entrenched in computer modeling, GIS research and electronic documentation. Our educational system seems to be focusing too much on technology and not enough on the basics which are necessary to understand, build, and use that technology, such as mathematics, science, language, and logic. Our students would be better served by a school levy, which provides students with more one-on-one instructional time, tutoring and smaller class

Project brings more congestion, problems The City actually brags about what will become a travesty on the old Cavanaugh lot. It brags about bringing 500 more people to live in downtown Auburn as well as new retail businesses. Right now, those street areas are the most congested in Auburn. Between 4 and 6 p.m., it frequently takes 10 minutes to travel approximately seven blocks. And that’s without an additional 500 people plus retail businesses. In the middle of all the bragging, where is the word about the developer’s responsibility for street improvements to withstand the additional traffic and congestion? The amphitheater was required at least to expand some of its affected roadways, but nothing, nada, zilch for the downtown project. Fellow taxpayers, when we are raving mad from traffic congestion because our City does not look ahead, who will get stuck with the street upgrade costs? The developer (who was even gifted by the City with a post-purchase discount) after they are done building and maybe even sell to another company? Or us? If, as methinks the latter, we will not only be out the discount already given to the

City needs to resolve parking problem With no regard for the residents, small business owners, customers and employees of businesses in downtown Auburn, I was told by one of the officers that a directive to the parking patrol was issued from the “top” to patrol the Safeway parking lot on Wednesday (Jan. 22). Chase bank was recently issued 16 parking spots, leaving little for the Auburn residents who frequent the numerous businesses downtown. Of the 16 spots that Chase Bank has, 14 were empty as well as eight surrounding its building. Employees and customers, including senior citizens, were frantically moving their cars to different spots to avoid getting a ticket. If this is the only solution that our elected officials can come up with, I need to remind them that they work for the residents of the city of Auburn.
– Janina Coan
That disclaimer isn’t proving to be a calming influence in Olympia, where already slim chances of reaching an accord on a transportation funding package worsen as long as there are unresolved differences between Inslee and King. Ironically, moving
forward on a package is the one thing both men agreed upon in the nasty letters they sent each other. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com. Contact him at 360-352-8623 or jcornfield@heraldnet.com.

After voting unanimously to move ahead with the ordinance at its regular meeting Monday, the council made the first reading of the ordinance during a special meeting at City Hall on Thursday. A second reading is scheduled during a special meeting at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3, after which the council could vote on whether to adopt the ordinance. Public comment is allowed during the hearings.
[ GUEST OP from page 5 ] specialist for SKCR, noted the funding request encompasses infrastructure, devices, professional development and support. He also said the committee did a thorough examination of tax rates and costs to Auburn taxpayers as it considered options. Pace said the quality of schools is often the first thing homebuyers ask about. “Buyers know that good schools not only help to define communities, they also support higher home values,” he commented, adding, “It’s not just families with schoolage kids that are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home. Savvy buyers know that quality schools will be a factor in the sales price when it’s time to sell.” In considering endorsement requests, Realtors look beyond statements of need, Christensen explained. Track records on academics and fiscal matters are also reviewed, he reported. Auburn’s impressive
According to Mayor Leanne Guier, the ordinance would buy the City more time to figure out how to deal with the coming influx of marijuana-related businesses. “Based on legal advice that we had received, it’s in the best interests of the City to move forward with an ordinance,” Guier said. “By canceling the moratorium, we’re going to move forward with a special meeting regarding the ordinance, where the public can comment before the council votes on the ordinance.” The ordinance is expected to better defend the City against any
number of scholastic achievements and awards contributed to the favorable endorsement, Christensen said. High schools have doubled the number of students in Advanced Placement courses. Additionally, in the past two years schools have accumulated 31 Washington State Academic Awards and National Title Awards, placing the district among the top 5 percent of academic achievement and top 10 percent in improvement statewide. Realtors praised the Auburn district for offering comprehensive curriculum for its increasingly diverse population and for initiatives to close “preparation gaps” among students. “School districts need to be mindful of employability standards,” Christensen stated, adding, “Auburn is addressing diverse needs with advanced placement and honors courses, career and technical education, and basic skills classes.” If approved, the technology levy would enable Auburn to use digital tools to

The City had previously contemplated extending the moratorium already in place – and set to expire Feb. 12 – but has cancelled the Feb. 3 public hearing on the issue, choosing instead to enact an ordinance. The move follows hard on the heels of an opinion released Jan. 16 by the office of State Attorney General Bob Ferguson that leaves cities and counties free to decide whether to ban pot businesses. “Under Washington law, there is a strong presumption against

Along with providing tools and technology for 24/7 access to curriculum and coursework for students, parents and teachers, the funds would enable a robust broadband infrastructure, plus enhancements for safety and security. With passage of the levy, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate would remain level. It is estimated to be $6.62 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2014 and $6.60 for the following year. Bellevue Realtor Michael Orbino, a member of SKCR’s Governmental & Public Affairs Committee and a mentor in the Bellevue School District, commented on the importance of quality schools. “Supporting school levies
finding that state law preempts local ordinances,” the opinion states. “Although Initiative 502 establishes a licensing and regulatory system for marijuana producers, processors, and retailers in Washington State, it includes no clear indication that it was intended to preempt local authority to regulate such businesses. We therefore conclude that I-502 left in place the normal powers of local governments to regulate within their jurisdictions. “While I-502’s drafters could have structured I-502 to require local governments to accept marijuana businesses, they did not

David Crowell, SKCR’s director of governmental and public affairs, said recommendations on school funding measures, such as Auburn’s, require a formal request from district officials, campaign representatives, or a Realtor member.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain
HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

Auburn schools look to upgrade with tech levy By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The new Auburn High School continues to takes shape as exemplified by one of the building’s wings from the northwest corner of Main Street. School officials are pleased with the progress. The school is on schedule to open in September. COURTESY PHOTO, Auburn School District
[ PROJECT from page 1 ] Newman praised Lydig Construction as “an exceptional” contractor that does “amazing work” with its subcontractors. The upshot is that the project is time and on budget. That means the new high school should be ready to welcome its first contingent of students this fall. “It’s kind of the fun thing when you’re mid in a project,” Newman said. “If you think back to a year ago, we hadn’t even flipped any dirt, and now we’ve
got a 3-story building there, and in another eight months, we’ll have kids in the building with teachers and classrooms.” District voters cast 18,678 yes votes in November 2012 to approve the $110 million construction bond on its third try. One of the selling points then was that when the school opens in September at its new site facing East Main Street, nobody will have to shiver any longer in a drafty, 63-year-old building at the mercy of an unreliable, geezer boiler. Auburn will then be
able to boast of four modern high schools, all high quality, up-to-date facilities, “where the will of the people,” Superintendent Kip Herren has stressed, not the ZIP code, determines just how good those schools are. Students will then have access to classroom technologies, modern science labs, a new commons area for student activities such as after-school clubs and multicultural fairs, and increased safety, all in one building under one roof with only two points of entry.
Remember to VOTE
On Feb. 11, the Auburn School District sets a $22 million technology replacement levy before voters. The levy provides six years of funding to take recommendations made by the 2013 Technology Citizens Ad Hoc Committee and set them in motion. It replaces the 2005 technology levy. Auburn School District Deputy Superintendent Mike Newman said that if the levy passes, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate would remain level. “Our 2005 levy is over, so now it’s time to renew that levy,” Newman said. The overall cost, Newman said, is no new taxes on the citizens. For example, on a $200,000 home, the school tax projected for the next year would be $1,320, and of that the technology levy would be $84. “What we try to do across all the different propositions that we take before the voters to fund school levies is try to keep that tax rate as level as we possibly can. This one steps down two cents per thousand dollars of assessed value. So the actual levy piece to pay for this, we’re taking away 44 cents by retiring bonds and a reduction in the stepping down that we did in our planning for the capital levy that was passed in 2009. This fills that piece back in so that we’re able to do the technology levy over the next six years.” Here’s what district voters may expect for
their dollars. • 24/7 access to electronic resources for students, parents and teachers that allows for differentiation of learning, programs and support • Targeted 1:1 student device access rolled out during the course of the levy • Wireless access in all buildings • Technology enhancements for safety and security • Digital devices for students and teachers to enhance high-yield strategies in the classroom • Digital tools for teachers to use available Learning Management Systems and electronic educational resources • A comprehensive, embedded Digital Literacy and Citizenship K-12 curriculum • Technology to facilitate group communication and collaboration learning by students, staff and administrators Passage requires a simple majority plus one. If voters don’t pass the levy this go around, Newman said, kids won’t have access to world-class tools. He said the board in that event would have to consider running the levy again. “My guess is, knowing the passion that’s behind it, the board would want to run it again,” Newman said. “But what I’m hearing is that people are excited that we’re moving in this direction, the direction of providing high-yield strategies for kids’ learning.”

Guitarist Michael Powers swings into Auburn Avenue Theater By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
On Jan. 31 the Jazz and Jokes in January show – featuring the music of guitarist Michael Powers – swings into the Auburn Avenue Theater. Powers, a Northwestbased musician who has released 14 CDs, including his latest “Passport”, has been playing guitar for more than 30 years. “I graduated from high school early, I was 15,” Powers said. “And that summer I spent a lot of time skateboarding. I was really good at it down in the San Francisco area. I was coming around a corner and hit a patch of gravel — the skateboard stopped, and I kept going.” The fall shattered his left wrist, forced him into a cast and subjected him to months of painful rehab, effectively ending his skateboarding career. Luckily, however, he found
[ SEA GALS from page 1 ] Auburn Riverside high schools, flew out Thursday to New York. They will make several promotional appearances before they perform on the sideline Sunday of Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey between the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. The Sea Gals are only known in public by their first names for security reasons. But sit down for a short conversation with the cheerleaders and the outgoing personalities makes it easy to know them on a first-name basis. “Being from Kent it means a lot to me that I get to represent the city of Kent at the Super Bowl,” says Geraldine, in her third year on the team. “A small town girl makes it out to the biggest stage in the world.” As many as 300 women try out each year for the Sea Gals. A spot on the current
something new to consume his time and energy. “I was in the cast and I saw a film biography on Jimi Hendrix’s life and thought, ‘I’d love to play guitar,’” he said. Powers began picking up a few pointers and tips from a friend who played, then moved on to master some actual Hendrix tunes. “Then I went from emulating Hendrix to emulating Santana,” he said. “I also had a lot of rock/blues energy with some different chord changes and things. Then one night I was watching Santana on a music show called “The Midnight Special” and he played with some guy named George Benson with a huge guitar.” The smooth, jazz sounds of Benson struck a chord in Powers, who soon fused Benson’s style with his own. “I’d already gotten a blues base from Hendrix and Santana, and now my jazz base from Benson,” Powers said. The defining moment of squad doesn’t guarantee another season as everyone must audition each year in the spring. All have dance backgrounds. Some are college students and work part-time jobs. Others work full-time jobs. They practice two evenings a week at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, the training facility for the Seahawks. The Sea Gals perform at every home game at CenturyLink Field and do a variety of promotional appearances. Zoe, an Auburn Riverside graduate and a Portland State University student, is one of a dozen rookies on the team. She commutes from Oregon for practices and games. She says it’s worth the drive. “I’ve transformed as a dancer and a person,” Zoe says. “It teaches you more than dance. It teaches you how to model, how to pose, how to speak well and how to represent a community.
It makes you a well-rounded super woman.” Laura, a 2006 Kentridge graduate and 2010 Washington State University graduate, returns as a veteran Sea Gal. “It’s my fourth season, so I’ve kind of watched as (coach) Pete Carroll has come in and made this what it is,” Laura says. “I’m just so happy to be a small part of this organization.” The Sea Gals aren’t allowed to talk about how much they are paid, but they are paid. Each also receives two season tickets to give to family or friends. They aren’t allowed to fraternize with players. But there’s no doubt these women are having the time of their lives. “Nothing beats the type of thrill and adrenaline you get on game day, especially getting the chance to do it with some of the most amazing women I’ve ever met,” Jacqueline says. “My teammates are very

Powers continued to master his instrument, attending Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where he earned a four-year music degree. “I could play by ear, but I wanted to learn how to read and write music,” he said. To this day Powers continues to refine his sound. On “Passport” he continues his musical journey with a set of songs inspired by his geographical journeys. “It celebrates my travels over the years,” he said. “I’ve been playing full-time professionally since 1985. It’s about my travels around the planet. It’s tunes I wrote. I wrote one about being in New York City, San Diego, Chicago, London, one in Amsterdam. Some of the other songs are cover tunes that are more about the conveyance of how to get there and what to do when you get there. Like “Ease On Down The Road”, which is a great travel song. Another is “Over the Rainbow” because that has a connection to
Hawaii for me. The songs are either about the places or how to get there, like In the Clouds which is about flying.” Power said he plans to spend about one-third of his upcoming gig playing tunes from the new CD, dedicating the rest to his extensive catalog. “It’s going to be a nice theater show with music from throughout my career and comedy as that other element,” he said. Michael Powers takes the stage at the Auburn Avenue Theater as part of Auburn’s BRAVO Performing Arts Series at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31.

person,” Zoe says about the reaction of relatives to her Super Bowl trip. “For her to be, ‘I’m so proud of you,’ just felt really good.” In addition to beauty and dance skills, it takes a certain kind of woman to make the Sea Gals. “Everyone’s very humble, has a good sense of humor yet works very, very hard,” Laura says. “We all have
that in common.” They also know which team will win. “We’re going to win for sure,” Jacqueline says. “I have a very good feeling about this game and this team. It’s kind of been a very magical season. A lot of great things have happened. I feel it’s finally our year to bring home that Lombardi trophy.”

[14] January 31, 2014 [ MISS AUBURN from page 1 ] “You always hope for the best,” she added. “But I like to be realistic and just do the best that I can and hope that my heart will get me there. And this time it did.” Guyette finished out of the running in her two previous appearances in the Miss Auburn Scholarship Program, the largest of its kind in the country. But this go around, there would be no denying her. “I came back much more mature and ready to take on the competition,” Guyette said. “You just keep going, keep trying. This is my third time. It doesn’t happen overnight. If you want it, go for it.” Guyette outlasted 16 other contestants to capture the title, earning more than $7,600 in gifts, awards and scholarships after two nights of competition and automatically qualifying for the Miss Washington Pageant later this year. The Miss Auburn program, sponsored by the Auburn Noon Lions Club, is an official preliminary to the Miss Washington and Miss America scholarship pageants. Guyette, an Auburn Riverside High School graduate, is a senior at the University of Washington, pursuing degrees in dance and public health. An honors student, Guyette plans to earn a master’s degree in physical therapy, hoping later to specialize in helping patients, notably dancers and athletes, recover from injuries. Dancing is her passion. She began to dance when she was 3, and has since blossomed into a gifted, accomplished performer on the national level. She is also a ballroom dancing instructor at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Federal Way. For her talent segment, Guyette performed a lyrical jazz dance to James
www.auburn-reporter.com Morrison’s “You Make It Real.” “It spoke to me,” Guyette said of her musical choice. “I thought the lyrics were beautiful, and I thought I could portray the song on stage.” Her mother, Cecelia, couldn’t have been more proud. “She’s my inspiration. She touches my heart every time she dances," said Cecelia. Guyette competed on the platform, Heart Health and Women’s Cardiac Research. Auburn Chevrolet sponsored her. Haley Walker is her Little Sister. De’Djuana Simpson was first runnerup, Jennifer Matson second runner-up, Morgan Warren third-runner-up and Alyssa Mesina fourth runner-up. Vivian Dao, 13, a student at Olympic Middle School, won Miss Auburn’s Outstanding Teen crown, besting nine other contestants. Evelyn Crisostomo was first runner-up, and Sylvia Jones was second runner-up. “It feels so amazing to be able to represent such beautiful and talented contestants. It feels so incredible. I still can’t believe it,” Dao said. “It’s a dream come true, something that I’ve prepared for for seven weeks now.” Dao, daughter of Huong and John Dao, plays 10 instruments, piano being her favorite. She ran on the platform, Cyber Bullying, Throwing Punches Online. Her Little Princess is Amber Joss. In addition to the awards, gifts and scholarship money, Dao qualifies for the Miss Washington Outstanding Teen competition. Miss Auburn contestants were scored and judged the following way: private interview (on Jan. 18) 35 percent; lifestyle and fitness 10 percent; talent 35 percent; on-stage interview and evening wear 20 percent.

Lion wrestlers ready to roar into postseason By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
All the optimism crackling in the air for this one particular high school wrestling team seems a bit misplaced. After all, Auburn Mountainview High School’s wrestling squad ended its regular season with an 0-6 South Puget Sound League 3A dual record. Nevertheless, Auburn Mountainview coach Adam France is high on his team as it heads into the postseason tourneys, which begin next Friday with the SPSL 3A sub-regional tourney at Auburn Mountainview High School. “We’re young but talented,” France said. “We feel like we’re at the beginning of a two or three year, pretty good cycle. We’re on the low end of it, but we’re pleased with a number of individuals.” Last season the program struggled, moving only one wrestler – heavyweight Dakota Weir – on to the Washington State Mat Classic championship tournament.

Also looking to move on to the state meet is 120-pound freshman Brahm Trujillo (ranked No. 2 in 3A), who competed in a national tournament over the summer. “He’s been wrestling for quite a long time, so he’s got a lot of club experience with tourneys,” France said. “He can do some things during matches that other kids can’t just because he’s been in those situations so many times. He can slow down a match and control it when he needs to.” France said he’s also hoping the team can move on 152-pound junior David Boone (ranked No. 9 in 3A) and 132-pound sophomore Joey Santos, who also competed in national tournaments last summer. “The other thing that we haven’t had in a couple years is we’ve got three guys who competed in national

Jones moved up from 170 pounds to 182 for the match. photo courtesy Adam France tournaments for the state,” France said. “Having that in the practice room is good too. That’s really been a good thing to fall back on — when they’re having success, they can show the other kids how they’re achieving success.” Also on the cusp of making their presence felt in the postseason tournaments are 126-pound sophomore Dylan Foley, ranked No. 10 in the state 3A, and junior Zach Jones, a No. 11 ranked 170 pounder, whom France calls the team’s biggest surprise. “He’s a wrestler who came to us as a freshman without a lot of experience,” France said. France continued: “He’s not the smoothest or most technical wrestler, but he’s got a great gas tank,”
France said. “You can never count him out of a match.” This season, France said, Jones has stepped up, taking out five 3A- and 4A-ranked wrestlers in the regular season. “We helped him change his view on competition and competing and figure out what he can expect of himself,” France said. “Growing up, he kind of viewed himself as that last-boy-pickedfor-the-team-kind-of-kid. We had to help him visually see himself different.” Jones, an alternate to regionals last year, agreed that it was all about changing the mental aspect. “My mindset changed, my focus,” Jones said. “Last year I wasn’t quite where they wanted me to be, and I knew it. There was just one
thing that was missing, and I couldn’t figure it out. But I finally got my mindset right. They always were telling me about the fire in the belly, that drive to just do it. And this year I found that. I haven’t fully nailed it, I just keep trying to get it. Now I just try to focus on what I want to do to my opponent. I just come in wanting to kick my opponent’s butt.” Jones added that he was he pleased with the progress his teammates have made. “This team, this year especially, I’ve noticed a change in all the guys,” Jones said. “All of us, especially the guys in my class, we all just decided to do it. Our freshman year we weren’t even ranked, we lost almost every dual. This year we came close with Enumclaw and placed well at tournaments. It’s really cool to see where we are now.” Boone, who made it as far as regionals last year, said he was also pleased with the team’s progress. “We’ve stepped up as a team, we’re able to compete with high caliber teams now,” Boone said. “This year there are a lot of guys that should make it to state. I feel like we have a pretty good chance of placing as a team at state, if the guys all work hard.”

Emerald Downs' Crockett honored with Paul Allen Sports Citizen Award For the Reporter
Emerald Downs President Ron Crockett was recognized with one of Seattle’s most prestigious awards on Jan. 22 at Benaroya Hall. Crockett was the winner of the 2013 Paul Allen Sports Citizen Award, given annually to an individual who has made a significant or compelling philanthropic contribution. In addition to saving the state’s Thoroughbred
racing industry by building Emerald Downs, Crockett is a longtime benefactor of Seattle Children's Hospital. He also played a leadership role in raising $50 million for the renovation of Husky Stadium. Former University of Washington basketball star Quincy Pondexter, whom Crockett mentored during his four years with the Huskies, and 10-yearold granddaughter Lauren Slavin, introduced Crockett,
who received a standing ovation while making his way to the stage. A video tribute offered congratulations from a diverse list of subjects, including UW athletic director Scott Woodward, Washington HBPA president Ron Maus, Husky tailback Deontae Cooper and officials from Seattle Children’s Hospital. In accepting the award, Crockett thanked his wife, Wanda, and talked about
growing up and attending Renton High School and receiving the McCurdy Scholarship that enabled him to attend UW, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering. Crockett later founded and owned Tramco, which performs maintenance and modification of airliners, growing the company from five employees in 1970 to 2,500 employees by the time he sold it in 1988. Crockett believes in philanthropy, and as a strong supporter of the UW scholarship program, gives back to his alma mater. “I attribute my success to my early environment and heredity, thanks to my parents for that, and schooling,” Crockett said. “Your greatest asset is your health, take care of that.” Other winners were: filmmaker Warren Miller (Keith Jackson Award); Zack Lystedt (Seattle Children’s Hospital Inspirational Youth Award); and

Auburn grad Epperson reaches 800 wins as Skagit Valley College coach Epperson
Steve Epperson, a 1969 Auburn High School graduate who lives in Stanwood, recently reached the 800-win plateau as coach of the Skagit Valley College
women’s basketball program. He attained the milestone with a 102-71 victory over South Puget Sound Community College on Dec. 20. Epperson has been the coach of the SVC women’s team since 1977. He has led the Cardinals to 25 seasons of 20plus wins. In that span, the Cardinals have won 20 NWAACC North Region
titles and four conference championships. SVC Foundation alumni and friends team up with the SVC Athletic Department to host a celebration of Epperson’s accomplishment on Saturday. The Cardinals’ game begins at 4 p.m. and includes a presentation honoring Epperson at halftime.
Game tickets are $2 per person. A free reception between the men’s and women’s games is at 5:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room, which is in the Gary Knutzen Cardinal Center. The event is open to all. For more information, visit www.skagit.edu/athletics.

The site is a portion of the NE 1/4 of Section 2, 20N, Range 4E, W.M on tax parcel numbers 042002-1062, -1044, -1015, -1050, -1066, and -1049. Description of Proposal: The proposed project is the expansion of the existing Gordon Trucking facility over a 10-year period starting in 2014. The expansion will include approximately 53,760 square feet of new
office space; 10,320 square feet of new warehouse space, and 22,955 square feet of new shop area. It will also include new paved parking areas, landscaping, water and sewer service extensions to each building as needed, along with other franchise utility coordination. One existing building will be demolished. All new stormwater runoff will be routed to the existing stormwater facility which has been sized to accommodate the Gordon Trucking facility and which was reviewed under a previous SEPA application and Stormwater Permit. The City will execute and approve a Development Agreement with the Applicant to allow for the vesting of the development rights of the 10-year Master Site Development Plan. SEPA MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE: The Lead Agency for this proposal has determined that this project does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment as conditioned. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C. 030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a complete environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. The information is available to the public upon request. This Mitigated Determination of Non-significance is issued under 197-11-350; the lead agency will not act on this proposal for twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of publication. MITIGATION MEASURES: To offset potential adverse environmental impacts, the applicant will implement the following mitigation measures: Earth. 1.Gordon Trucking will obtain a Department of Ecology General Permit to discharge Stormwater associated with construction activity, if required. 2.The project will comply with the City of Pacific requirements for erosion and sediment control plans (ESC). These measures may include structural BMPs (silt fences, straw bale barriers, and sediment ponds) and nonstructural BMPs (planning and design, routine inspection and maintenance). 3.A Geotechnical Engineering study will be required prior to obtaining building permits. All work will be implemented consistent with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Engineering study. Air. 1.Watering the ground will occur as needed before and during site construction activities to control dust particles. Vehicles that are not being used in construction activities will be shut off. Water. 1.The project will convey new stormwater to the existing approved storm drainage system in accordance with the City of
Pacific’s drainage requirements in effect at the time of the project application. 2.All work shall be implemented consistent with the SEPA Mitigation Measures and permit requirements for the recently constructed Gordon Trucking stormwater facility. Environmental Health. 1.To control environmental health hazards, the proposed expansion shall be included in the Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measure (SPCC) plan for the Gordon Trucking facility. Noise. 1.Measures to control noise impacts include limiting construction activity hours to between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday (City of Pacific Municipal Code Section 9.26.050(A)(8)(a)). 2.To mitigate general noise impacts during the construction phases, measures such as locating stationary equipment away from receiving properties, limiting construction hours to avoid sensitive nighttime hours, turning off idling construction equipment, requiring contractors to maintain all equipment, and training construction crews to avoid unnecessarily loud actions near noise-sensitive areas should be employed. Light and Glare. 1.Building and parking lot lighting shall be shielded and directed downward to reduce glare and avoid light spillage to adjacent properties. Historic and Cultural Preservation. 1.If cultural or archeological objects are found during site preparation work, the Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be notified, and appropriate measures will be taken. PUBLIC HEARING: The Pacific City Council held a public hearing on January 27, 2014. COMMENT/ APPEAL PERIOD: Any interested person may comment on the issuance of the Mitigated Determination of Non-significance (MDNS) no later than 5:00 PM, February 14, 2014. Following the close of the comment period, the proposed MDNS becomes final on February 21, 2014 unless modified by the Lead Agency based on comments and information received. You may submit written comments to the undersigned prior to the date stated above. Appeal of the Determination may be made by submitting a notice of appeal, together with the grounds for the appeal and $1,000 appeal fee to the City.

Explaining our new cholesterol guidelines
What are the new guidelines? They are recommendations for assessing, measuring and treating cholesterol levels with a statin medication (i.e., lovastatin, simvastatin, pravochol). Now
to begin statin therapy should be considered. A major concern is that these new recommendations will overestimate people needing prescription treatment, putting more than 31 million people on medication. However, we have a major health epidemic in this country. At this time, one in three adults will die of a heart attack, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

and ACC, if your 10year risk assessment is 7.5 percent or higher, statin treatment should be considered.

However, if your calculated 10year risk assessment is 7.5 percent or higher, a strong consideration

risk factors are directly factored into the decision (calculation) to begin this type of medication. Risk factors like high blood pressure, weight, age, smoking, family history of heart disease and the diagnosis of diabetes become significant. Certainly, if an individual already has heart disease or diabetes, they should already be on a statin. Rather, these new guidelines focus on decreasing the development of heart disease in healthy individuals, especially those ages 40 to 75, whose cholesterol values may be normal. Using a table established by the AHA
New guidelines for taking cholesterol-lowering medication were recently released by the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the American College of Cardiology (ACC). These new guidelines bring prescribing recommendations into the 21 century. They modify a recommendation that centered on the Framingham Heart study (dating back to 1948).

Prevention is really the focus and pure intention of these new prescribing guidelines, not making pharmaceutical companies more wealthy. The decision to begin statin therapy should be done on a case-by-case basis, as these are just recommendations, not rules. The decision to take a statin medication is truly an individual investment, financially and physically, with no absolute guarantee of long-term outcome and results.
