Lea Hill residents voice concerns about speeding, safety By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

On Feb. 2, 2011, a fiery, single-car accident near 320th and 116th Place on Lea Hill killed Chengjing “Julie” Tan, 17, a Green River College Community student from China.

Then, just shy of three years later, on Feb. 12, 2014, GRCC student, Zhenyu Yang, died on the same stretch of road, in another single-car accident. A fellow passenger, Weihao Zu, sustained serious injuries. About both accidents, police

say, drivers Ying “Tim” Xie and Qiang Lu, respectively, were clearly speeding, Indeed, Auburn Assistant Police Chief Bill Pierson said last week, not only was Lu speeding, but physical evidence at the scene indicated that he was moving well

above 100 miles per hour when he went airborne, smashed into two power poles, spun and flung his two back-seat passengers to their bloody fates. For such an undulating stretch of road, residents say, speed like that, three times the posted speed

limit, is light years beyond stupid. Fed up, eager for a solution, more than 75 residents met with Auburn officials at Wesley Homes on Lea Hill last Thursday to talk and work out solutions. [ more speeding page 3 ]

And it will ease the process of billing.” [ more PACIFIC page 3 ]

Saar’s Marketplace to move into north Auburn By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Saar’s Marketplace will occupy the old Top Foods building on Auburn Way North. The Oak Harbor-based grocer submitted a building permit application to the City of Auburn on Feb. 24. According to planning documents, the company expects to spend $85,000 to rearrange

elements of the building’s existing floor plan. Shelving, cash registers, produce, and meat departments are to stay where they are, though the company expects to make minor layout changes to office space, to some of the cold cases, and to install new storage area doors and a new ceiling. Saar’s, a privately-held company founded in 1998, operates stores in Lakewood, Oak Harbor, Port

Orchard, Renton, Seattle and Tacoma. A company spokesman said the plan is to open the store in late spring. The company’s reputation is to go where other grocers could not make a go of it, marketing its stores to different ethnic mixes within neighborhoods after studying their demographics. Bellingham-based Haggen

Inc., announced in October that it would close its north Auburn store and stores in Kent and Yakima as part of its “long-term transformation plan to improve its overall business performance and strengthen its competitive position.” The company kept its Lakeland Hills store at 1406 Lake Tapps Parkway East but renamed it Haggen Northwest Fresh.

[ SERVICE from page 1 ] state, introduced the service in Auburn on Nov. 4 to help seniors 55 years of age and older and folks of all ages with disabilities get where they have to go. “We have a number of people that we see every week, every day, depending on their schedule,” said Saftich, a Maple Valley native. “We bring people from home to the senior center, we take them grocery shopping, to hair appointments, medical appointments...” “There aren’t many limits, as long as it’s a pick up within the city limits and a drop off within city limits,” Saftich added. There are no applications to fill out, no in-person eligibility screenings where prospective riders have to demonstrate their disabilities. All riders need do is register for service by phone at 206727-6262. And they may ask for service up to 30 days in advance along two routes in Auburn: one north of State Route 18; and one south, including Auburn city limits inside Pierce County. The shuttles are liftequipped for people like Kotenberg who have difficulty with stairs or who use a mobility aid. “Most of the people we see are at a point where they just can’t drive anymore,” Saftich said. “You can see they’ve got the spirit and the spunk, but they’re just like, ‘My eyes are worn out, I can’t see anymore, or I don’t feel comfortable anymore, so I’ve parked the car or the kids have encouraged me to park the car,’ and they found us to provide the transportation,” Saftich said. Kotenberg learned about the service from the Auburn Senior Center. “They knew all about it,” Kotenberg said. Although the shuttles are free, donations are welcomed. Senior Services operates the service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday in partnership with King County Metro. Senior Services’ Transportation Program has 38 shuttles on the road, serving cities such as Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Renton, Federal Way, SeaTac, Tukwila, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, the Snoqualmie Valley and Seattle. “Basically, we consider ourself as a personalized transportation alternative to public transportation,” said Cindy Zwart, director of Senior Services Transportation Program.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ SPEEDING from page 1 ] One resident argued that the stretch of road under discussion has turned into a raceway. “I have seen numerous people move 100-plus miles per hour and blow through the stop sign, usually about 1 o’clock in the morning,” he said, adding that he had seen actual races there. “This is a recurring event. Is there some way to do something about this … because it is going to lead to death,” the man asked. “Always remember this,” Pierson responded. “If we have a few individuals who just want to go well and beyond the speed limit, there is nothing we can do to the roadway to prevent that idiot from continuing to do those kinds of things, unless we absolutely catch him.” Another Lea Hill resident said in the two years she’s lived at the corner of 320th and 116th Place Southeast, she’s realized that the problem is a bit more complicated than fools with lead feet. “The reason 320th is

such a raceway is that when they come, there is enough headway from the stoplight and there’s not a lot of cross walks for people. And there’s a little hump, and they go really fast, and when they hit the hump, it skyrockets them. And it’s not just racing. It’s that you have all these kids, and the school is growing and the environment is changing. We are getting more school kids and more transfer students, which is good, except that they are in a new area, and they’re ready to have fun,” she said. Another resident argued that it’s unfair to blame just college kids. “Right now there are kids coming down from Auburn Mountainview High School, and they come down through 118th, which is a rich street to go really fast on because it’s straight and bumpy. And they fly up, and it’s only a matter of time before some kid on a skateboard gets run over because they can’t see over the hill. … It’s just total disregard for other

[ pacific from page 1 ] Legal representation has been a key issue in Pacific for the past two years. After former Mayor Cy Sun tried to fire current City Attorney Kenyon Luce, the city council wrested control of the hiring and firing process from him, passing an ordinance to protect the position from the whims of the top administrator. Until then, the City attorney had been appointed by the mayor and served at his pleasure. Now, the council appoints the City’s legal representation.

people’s lives. You can’t just fix the road, you have to fix the attitude,” she said. Among the suggested fixes: speed bumps; a roundabout at 116th Place Southeast to stop the flow of traffic; and cameras. City Traffic Engineer Joe Welsh said that before a roundabout could be considered, studies would first have to find that a serious problem exists there. Engineers would have to drive the area, observe where the speed limit signs are, and determine whether people know what the speed limits are. “We would also look at radar information, collision history, and the geometry of the roadway, including the vertical geometry. Also, in residential streets it’s easier to put in speed cushions, typically because we don’t have school buses on them. With arterial roadways, with high speeds, high volumes and geometry problems, it’s completely different,” Welsh said. Another issue with roundabouts, said Plan-

Among the side effects of the Sun-era that are still being felt are the higher legal fees incurred by the City, a direct result of litigation against the City, much of it brought by former employees whom Sun had fired. This past year the City paid out more than $250,000 in legal expenses, and it has budgeted nearly the same amount for 2014. City officials expect a fixed price contract to ease the financial burden, Guier said. Additionally, the hiring of a firm or an attorney that specializes in municipal law should lower the City’s legal costs.

Auburn woman sentenced for fraud, claimed cancer diagnosis to steal more than $400,000 from elderly victim

ning and Public Works Director Kevin Snyder, is that the City would almost certainly have to acquire more land, whether with a house on it or a vacant parcel of property. The City may also have to hire a consultant to design the roundabout. Both would require dollars. And state law, said City Attorney Dan Heid, says that photo enforcement cameras can only be used when two arterials cross; they can’t be used on side streets. “When you are going 100 miles per hour, there are roads at Pacific Raceways that you cannot drive a car 100 miles an hour on”, Pierson said. “So imagine a city street. If somebody chooses to take a car, a 6,000-pound machine — Lu’s car was an Audi A6 with a 400 (horsepower) motor — that car, from what we can tell, from the time it first came down and made an impression in the road, by the time it landed and spun in a straight direction, it had traveled about 800 feet.”

For the Reporter

A 52-year-old Auburn woman was sentenced March 6 in U.S. District Court in Seattle to two years in prison and three years of supervised release for a fraud scheme in which she claimed to be a cancer patient, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. Between May 2009 and September 2012, Julie Anne Dahlquist convinced an elderly Auburn resident to support her financially by claiming the money he gave her would pay for her cancer treatment. In fact, Dahlquist had no cancer diagnosis and used more than $400,000 to support her gambling addiction, according to case records. Dahlquist pleaded guilty Nov. 15, 2013, to Social Security fraud. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez ordered her to pay $417,382 in restitution and said the crime was “no less than elder abuse – taking advantage of the victim’s good nature to steal his money.” According to records filed in the case, Dahlquist told the elderly victim that she had been diagnosed with cancer and had no medical insurance or any money for treatment. The victim, concerned for Dahlquist’s welfare, wrote her checks to pay for the

“Luce currently has to bring in specialists on many things,” Guier said. The City began accepting proposals on March 4 and will continue to accept them until March 18. After that, the Governance Committee – composed of Gary Hulsey, Vic Kave and Stacy Knutdson – and the mayor will review them and recommend one for the council to appoint. Should the council approve the appointment, the City would contract with that firm or attorney until Dec. 31, 2015.

non-existent treatment. The victim wrote checks for as much as $9,000 about three times a month. In all, the victim wrote 190 checks to Dahlquist for more than $400,000. Dahlquist used the money for gambling and other expenses. She also defrauded the Social Security Administration is disability program. Dahlquist concealed the $400,000 in proceeds from her fraud scheme so that she could collect $8,000 in Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits from the Social Security Administration. Dahlquist also fraudulently collected more than $8,000 in food and medical benefits from the State of Washington. Writing to the court, prosecutors noted that: “This is a truly outrageous fraud that involved exploiting an elderly retiree’s trust and generous intentions. Julie Dahlquist recognized that (the victim) was a trusting and generous person, and because of those qualities, she chose to prey on him. Furthermore, defendant invoked the serious disease of cancer as part of her fraud. The psychological harm to the victim is acute: his family reports that he is “devastated to think that someone he was trying to help would take such extreme advantage of him.”

girl if she would be interested in working as a prostitute to make “easy money.” The girl said she was scared to work as a prostitute, but Bonds told her he would show her how to do it. He also asked her if she had any friends who might want to work as prostitutes. She said she knew a Kent girl, 16, who might want to do it. Bonds and the younger girl met her friend at a 7-Eleven store on April 13 in Kent. Police confirmed through store surveillance video that Bonds drove his white Cadillac to the store. On April 19, the Auburn man took the two girls to a Portland hotel to work as prostitutes, according to charging papers.

They drove around for several hours before Bonds reportedly took her to a SeaTac motel and forced her to have sex with him, according to charging papers.

– Dr. Stephen Flynn of Northeastern University, a professor and one of the world’s experts on disaster resilience

Are we well prepared for a disaster? Is the Puget Sound region – home to more than 4.5 million people – adequately prepared for a disaster? That’s a tough one to answer comprehensively, many emergency preparedness experts admit. While the “big one” may be tricky to predict, experts know for certain that the region is prone to natural disasters. And that for the Seattle area, fractured as it is with fault lines, earthquakes top the list. Overlooking the valley, mighty Mount Rainier has been dormant since its last eruption around 1100 AD. But its activity – combined with its proximity to Seattle and Tacoma – would make any eruption there one of the most dangerous in the world, according to the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior’s Decade Volcano list. Such potential events concern Dr. Stephen Flynn of Northeastern University, a professor and one of the world’s experts on disaster resilience. Dealing with disaster is sort of his business, and the source of his intense study. Flynn recently visited Seattle to talk with local leaders about the region’s readiness for a catastrophic event. Flynn, leading a major study in the aftermath of SuperStorm Sandy that will be presented to Congress and the Obama administration, is soliciting responses to his study from leaders throughout the country. Upon his review, Flynn says, Puget Sound area leaders are paying attention to the warning signs, but he concludes that the region, and notably its residents is no more fully prepared to deal with a disaster than are other parts of the country. Outside of emergency management professionals, too few of us spend any time considering how prepared our communities are, Flynn noted. “Your emergency management community is about as on top of it as anywhere in our country, in terms of understanding the kinds of risk and working to prepare for those risks,” Flynn said. “(But) your area, like much of the

Medical center gets five stars In January I was admitted to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center for a severe foot infection that ended with a three-toe amputation. I had my concerns since the Auburn hospital has had a bad reputation for poor quality care in the past. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, now that it’s MultiCare. The staff and the service were phenomenal – the best care I have ever received from a hospital. The entire staff treated me with the utmost care and respect as they did with all their patients that I noticed. This is a five-star quality care hospital now, and I think it’s important that everyone is aware. – Cindi Moen

I’ve also attended a Kent City Council meeting and the open house held by the Parks Department at the par 3 clubhouse. I have spent considerable time discussing the situation with several golfers. After thinking about all this, I have come to some conclusions regarding the options.

One option is to build a three-hole par 3 course. Although this may benefit children’s programs, such as First Tee and Douglas Youth Group for their lessons, I see issues with this option. I don’t know of anyone who would want to drive into Kent just to play three holes of golf. As far as going around three times to get in nine holes, the backup would be troublesome. Another option is to put forward tees on the 18-hole course. The reasons seniors and kids golf at the par 3 are the course length and difficulty (no bunkers or water hazards), cost and duration of playing time. Putting forward tees on the 18hole course would not alleviate the distance. Players would still need to get to those tees. They also would have to contend with bunkers and water hazards. This would make for a longer time period of play. I’m sure the cost would also be higher than at the par 3 course. [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

Flynn said he believes the lessons learned from SuperStorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina can help our region better prepare for such an event. But it remains a challenge. While cities, such as Kent and Auburn, are equipped to mobilize in the event of a more isolated flood or mudslide, the region as a whole needs to better

prepared for a widespread disaster. Flynn hopes the country, region by region, broadens its commitment to become better prepared for these events, both in terms of negating the risks and recovering quickly from a crisis. It’s not a matter of “if ” disaster strikes, but when, Flynn says. “It will happen. We will have a major disaster in the Puget Sound area. It is almost certainly going to be a major earthquake,” he said. “I state that out front because, to the larger extent … every part of our country has gone through a disaster. “We wait until they happen, and we cope well when they happen. … But what we know is they are less frequent than we often presume them to be, and there’s a lot more we know about them now and what we can do about them in terms of reducing their impact.” Regions need to better prepared for a disaster,

considering the geographical dependency on infrastructure, the power grid, water, communication and extended transportation, Flynn cautioned. The Seattle area is a global leader in technology and advanced manufacturing, as well as a major military hub that depends on the reliable operation of critical infrastructures in the energy, transportation, communications and IT sectors. A major disaster has the potential to endanger millions of lives, cause major disruptions to our communities and businesses, and undermine the capacity for the U.S. military to carry out its national security mission, Flynn noted. “(For instance) Seattle and Tacoma are the umbilical cord to Alaska in terms of all its logistical needs,” he said. “If you get knocked down, then Alaska will feel it.” Yet, in the aftermath of a disaster, we somehow recover. “I can always find things

that I wished we had done up front to basically reduce the mayhem that was caused. But I always marvel at our capacity to work our way through these things and get back on our feet,” Flynn said. “My message is we just try to do both. We should spend equal measures and efforts to anticipate and prepare and reduce the cost of these events as well as pat ourselves on the back about how quickly we bounce back.” Beyond the professional community, residents need to take more personal responsibility for emergency preparedness. Not everyone is risk literate, Flynn acknowledges, but it’s a civic duty for those who are physically able to become trained, ready and willing to help their neighbors in troubled times. “They will almost certainly happen,” Flynn said of disasters, man-made or natural. “We just hope they don’t happen tomorrow.”

McBreen poetry The Leprechaun of Pacific wears a tuxedo and top hat as emerald as the Isle he’s from. He is seen now and then by those whose eyes are as quick as his wit. A fellow I know saw him along Pacific Park surfing the River Stuck. Another says he was prancing in the rain around the Senior Center under a maple foliole. Ladies see him in our parks. Children spot him on playgrounds. Some claim he flies around on the back of an albino raven, blowing four leaf shamrocks all over Pacific City Hall. I’d like to see him just once under a rainbow with his pot of gold.

Auburn hosts regional sports stacking competition By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn High School gymnasium resounded last Saturday with the rapid fire, click-clack of plastic stacking cups, as competitors from throughout the Western States and Canada participated in the Northwest Regional Sports Stacking Championships. For the past nine years, regional stackers have vied for world, national and personal-record times in various events, all featuring timed stacking of a set of 12 uniformly-sized cups, placed upside down on a flat surface, stacked in one of three configurations and disassembled quickly. The goal is to complete a stacking cycle in as little time as possible. Winners at the regional competition earn a berth in the U.S. Sport Stacking Association’s National/Kansas City Open championships on March 29 in Kansas City, Mo. From there, stackers can take it to the next level at the WSSA World Sport Stacking Championships on April 26 in Jeonju, South Korea. For more information, visit www. thewssa.com.

Hebner climbing ranks in the minors By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Cody Hebner’s minor league baseball career has been a textbook example of upward mobility. Since being drafted out of Green River Community College by the San Diego Padres, with the 143rd pick in the fourth round of the 2011 Major League Baseball amateur draft, the 6-foot, right-handed pitcher has been steadily climbing the ranks of the organization. After stints in all three of the Padres’ Single-A affiliates – the short-season Eugene (Ore.) Emeralds, the Fort Wayne (Ind.) TinCaps and the advanced Lake Elsinore (Calif.) Storm – Hebner reported this past week for spring training in Peoria, Ariz., with the Triple-A El Paso (Texas) Chihuahuas. “You always have to come and earn a job,” Hebner said. “You want to be practicing in spring training with a team that is two levels higher than the one you last played with. You can’t read too much into anything in spring training, but it was nice to see my name on that list training with El Paso.” A glance at Hebner’s stats through his first three seasons makes it clear why he’s where he is. In his first season with Eugene, Hebner went 2-2 as a starter with a 3.35 ERA in 37.2 innings pitched. Hebner had 39 strikeouts and walked just 15 batters for the Emeralds before getting the call up to the TinCaps.

Baseball previews RAVENS AT A GLANCE

• COACH: Jon Aarstad, third season • LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 14-10 overall, third in the South Puget Sound League 3A (11-6 record), qualified for the district playoffs. • TOP RETURNERS: Brady Cummings, senior, pitcher; Brian Darby, senior, outfielder/pitcher; Gavin Hettinger, junior, catcher/outfielder; Joey Galeno, senior, first baseman/pitcher/outfielder; Kevin Thomson, senior, third baseman/first baseman/pitcher; Noah Freelund, junior, shortstop/pitcher/third baseman; and Skyler Erban, senior, catcher. • TOP NEWCOMERS: Andy Santos, senior, third baseman/pitcher. • OUTLOOK: Last year the pitching of inning-eaters Freelund, Darby and Cummings, and the offense of Chris Minteer and Austin Marty fueled by the Ravens. The good news is that the core of the Ravens’ pitching staff is back; the bad is that the team has to look elsewhere to make up the run production of Minteer (19 RBIs) and Marty (26 RBIs). The Ravens look to Galeno (17 RBIs) and Thomson (13 RBIs) to step up and fill the void. Freelund was 5-1 with a 1.63 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 38.2 innings of work. Darby was 2-1 with 19 strikeouts in 24.2 innings and

pitcher/rightfielder.. • OUTLOOK: “We bring back a solid defensive core of players, and with the addition of our new players, we will again be very good defensively,” Walker said. “We have five seniors on this team, some moving up from junior varsity last year, and some returning from the 2013 varsity team. We have added many key components to our team and these new players will fill key roles in keeping us strong defensively. So far this spring, we are looking much stronger offensively than we ever have been. We have a good combination of speed and power in our lineup and hope to score a lot of runs this year.” Walker continued: “Our team’s success ultimately is going to come down to our ability on the mound. I believe that pitching will once again be the deciding factor in how we finish this year. We have four or five quality pitchers who have the ability to be very good. If they compete on the hill this year, we will be tough to score runs against.” • MARK YOUR CALENDAR: All three of Auburn Mountainview’s losses last season came in SPSL play. The Lions lost twice to Peninsula and meet the Seahawks for the first time this season on April 4 in Gig Harbor. The Lions also fell to Decatur, who they host on April 2 for the first time this season. The Lions also play again at Safeco field, at 4 p.m. April 19 against Puyallup, which participated in the state 4A playoffs last season

Look for O’Grady (18 RBIs, seven doubles and two home runs last season) to lead the way, with McCoy (nine RBIs) and Atkinson (nine RBIs) chipping in. On the mound, Sloan and Manning shouldered the load with more than 30 innings of work last year and should be the workhorses again this season. Sophomore Xavier West also ate innings to the tune of 21.2 last season. • MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Trojans will be put to the test early with back-to-back road games against the third- and fourth-place teams from the 4A state playoffs last year, Kentridge and Kentwood, respectively. Auburn Riverside takes on the Chargers at 4 p.m. April 9 and the Conks at 4 p.m. April 10.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
