City places moratorium on communal housing apps BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The Auburn City Council on Monday resolved that for a year the City won’t accept applications for business licenses and other licenses, permits and approvals for communal rental housing. The idea is to give the City and residents time to craft better rules than the City has had in place since January. [ more HOUSING page 3 ]

Seniors from the Auburn High School Class of ‘14, above, toss their hats after graduation ceremonies at Memorial Stadium last Sunday. The class was the last to graduate from the school’s, 64-year-old building, which will be razed this summer to provide parking for the new high school set to open in September. Right, Maggie Elston, whom the senior class chose to speak at the ceremonies, addresses the audience.
There’s a King County park and ride just outside its front door and a Sounder commuter station a mile away, making its new Auburn-based headquarters easy to get to for staff and customers. Boeing, the bigger buyer of the aerospace parts its employees make, is less than two miles to the south.

Academy provides more than just kicks BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
The gym at Rainier Middle School resounds with the noise of martial artists at work. On the wooden floor more than 25 gi-clad students go through their paces, a shout punctuating each punch, kick and move. Senpai James Penor, of the Unified Shito-Ryu Academy, directs them, al-

ternating commands and encouraging words with the occasional stern admonishments. “We try to make it fun, but I try to be strict, also,” said Penor, a fifthdegree black belt in karate. “I don’t think you get that as much anymore. I don’t think they discipline them much anymore.” Every Tuesday and Thursday, the class meets at Rainier to learn from Penor, who himself learned karate
Sunday
from legendary sensei Soke Kubota. Penor started the Unified Academy in Bellevue in 1988. A few years later, he began teaching martial arts classes at Green River Community College. In the 25-plus years Penor has taught, his school has become known as the ‘School of Champions’ because of the success of its students, like black belt Charles Nguyen. [ more ACADEMY page 7 ]

it’s a mess.” Add to the noun “mess” the adjective “reeking,” as in “reeking, saturated carpet,” and you have a tidy grasp of the situation. Fortunately, Brugger said, thanks to a volunteer’s quick notification, artists rallied and got the paintings, pottery and metal components out of the water’s way the next morning, and no art was harmed. But the show itself had to be put off. And today, the 57 members of AVCA find themselves without a home to display their art. “It’s rough. We had that place for more than a year and a half. It’s been nice to have it for our shows and everything,” Brugger said. Neither has the AVCA been the only party affected by the ceiling collapse. State Sen. Joe Fain, R-47th, whose local office is across the hall from the AVCA’s, had hoped to be in there until the end of the year, [ more COLLAPSE page 3 ]

“We haven’t quite got the rules for it down yet,” said Councilman John Holman, chair of the Planning and Community Development Committee. The moratorium includes a work plan that accommodates an initial one-year moratorium. Shao Xia Zhu and her husband, Gary Kiefer, who already rent space to students in two homes they own within the Rainier Ridge subdivision north of Green River Community College, were the first to apply under the new communal housing rules. Their hope is to be allowed to rent to seven unrelated students in the homes they own, which is possible only under the conditional use permit process. The City’s Hearing Examiner is considering their application. Neighbors say they put up with four students per residence without a landlord present, which City regulations permit outright without a hearing. But allowing any more than that, they say, falls far short of what they and other proponents of new rules had expected from the ordinance they pushed for and the Auburn City Council adopted last September. Such packed housing in what the subdivision’s builders intended to be a single-family residential neighborhood, resident Russ Campbell told members of the PCD Committee last week, is wrong and would be detrimental to surrounding property values. The City must hold a public hearing on the moratorium within 60 days.
but the collapse forced his staff to find new digs on the double. “It expedited our move,” Fain said Tuesday. All tenants of the building, including the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce. were short-termers anyway. Teutsch Partners, LLC, which purchased the buildings on the Gambini block from the City of Auburn at the end of 2013, plans to demolish the structure shortly to make room for new apartment complexes. Tenants say the ceiling collapse just accelerated the move-out timetable. According to Nancy Wyatt, chamber president and CEO, the organization had been expected to begin the move to its new office at 25 Second St. NW, four blocks from the chamber’s present location, on Monday. “We are excited for our new location,” Wyatt wrote in her online message from the chamber. “It has a great layout, and we will be able to continue the valuable service as the leading regional chamber of commerce, visitor information center/tourism office that you have come to expect.” “We’re going to move and rent space from the chamber,” Fain said. Meanwhile, AVCA keeps on looking. “We’ve been trying to find a place. We’ve been talking to several people, and we’re waiting to see what happens,” Brugger said. “We’re looking for something that we can afford that we could move into. Even if it’s small at this point, we could expand later on.” AVCA member Ronie Schwend added: “If we get a place and clean it up and hang art, it’s a definite selling point to get people coming and going. That’s what happens when a place has something in it.” “We are very saddened by this turn of events, but our board and volunteers are very optimistic and already discussing plans for our future. If you have any ideas or happen to hear of any locations you think might be an affordable possibility for AVCA, we would love to hear about it,” read a statement on the AVCA website. Anyone who would like to help AVCA’s cause may call Brugger at 253-833-9181.

OPINION
www.auburn-reporter.com
– Lela Brugger, on Auburn Valley Creative Arts’ leaking, former home.
Traumatizing family vacations June, when schools release the future leaders of our country back to their parents is a happy time for students and teachers. Parents must accept at some point that, although your child has purple hair, wears hand-me-down clothes from a Martian and listens to music that sounds like barfing, they will eventually win. They will be smarter, cooler and able to make pink and green tech devices that work even God doesn’t understand. That war was lost the moment you decided to have a child. However, June 21 offers a little bit of solace. The first day of summer is the opening salvo in the generational vacation wars. Let me reveal a secret only known and admitted by parents past the age of child-rearing consent. Family vacations are not meant to be fun, joyous, educational, bonding experiences to teach life skills or broaden horizons and all the other nonsense shown on television ads. Vacations with children are designed for generational revenge. New parents, (parents who do not have children … yet), are easy to spot because they still know everything about child rearing. There are few adults more knowledgable about child rearing than a couple who have never had children, but are preparing to begin the happy journey. That was me. I had it all planned out. Then my daughter was born and the plan dissolved into particle chaos. I was at a conference recently and a woman I was talking to told me how her father and mother made her go to every boring museum from here to Bango Bango in their Aristocrat trailer. She emphatically said she would never do that. When I asked her where she planned to take her kids on summer vacation he said a new modern art exhibit in Wyoming. Heeheehee ... Dennis Box

It’s time to sack plastic bags The pollution associated with plastic bags is tremendous. Plastic bags are lethal, killing at least two million birds, whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions and turtles every year. Nearly 90 percent of floating marine litter is made of plastic: 100 million tons of plastic are polluting the world’s oceans. Every three years, the amount of plastic contributing to the pollution of the world’s oceans doubles. The average person uses around 500 plastic bags each year. Scientific studies show that plastic does not dissolve over time; it breaks into tiny pieces and stays there for 1,000-plus years.

Area 27 residential property values generally increased by 23.7 percent, but individual property values might vary. The Assessor’s Office will continue to mail out more than 600,000 residential and commercial valuation notices to taxpayers throughout the rest of King County between June and October. The King County Assessor’s Office annually revalues all properties and conducts a physical inspection on each property once every six years. The last physical inspection of the West Hill Auburn area was in 2012. Hara reminds all property owners to carefully review the information in the valuation notice. If you feel a mistake has been made in valuing your property, it is recommended that you contact the Assessor’s Office directly before filing an appeal at 206-296-7300 or assessor. info@kingcountygov.

Another battle on the frontline of the vacation wars. When my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, I took her to St. Ignatius, Mont. and the National Bison Range. Katy had the lucky chance to get up before sunrise and endure a slow trek through the bison range. The buffalo were so far away they looked like brown specks on the windows. Later that day, we decided to rush back from Helena and go through the range a second time, just making it at 6 p.m. before the gates closed. When we came over the top ridge, we were suddenly surrounded by the entire bison herd. They began using our car as a scratching post, blotting out all light inside. She yelled at me for stranding her in the middle of no-wheres-

As details get hashed out, the two political leaders may want to seek out former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton for advice, inasmuch as he served on the commission established after the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001. Citing that experience, Gorton suggested a commission should focus on getting the history right and not play the blame game. Set out what happened in the past and, based on what happened, determine what improvements might work in the future, he said. “You don’t say someone is at

It wasn’t until she was an adult that Katy realized I made her live through bison trauma, instead of going to Disneyland to see a three-fingered mouse. She claims I have scarred her for life by not taking her to Disneyland. (I think I know a couple of colluding reporters who would agree, but I am careful never to let them compare notes.)

Another piece of advice: the panel should be made of an even number of people to encourage collaboration and prevent breakdowns along political lines.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ ACADEMY from page 1 ] Penor credits Nguyen, who recently traveled to Europe to compete internationally, with the idea to start up the class at Rainier. “He wanted to start a school,” Penor said. “So I figured out how to do it. I had done some demonstrations here, and with the success of the Green River class, I guess my name was known. We started out with about 10 students two years ago, and we have about 30 in there now.” Unlike many self-defense classes that focus solely on fighting moves, Penor’s presents a more holistic approach. “They learn all the stuff they’re supposed to with discipline and confidence in themselves,” Penor said. “They learn to think for themselves without being led around. I think that’s the big thing.” Additionally, Penor said, teaching kids martial arts and the proper use of what they’ve learned helps them defend against bullying at school. “It’s really great to see,” Penor said. “When I was young, coming from an ethnic background, there

So, don’t tell the folks at Orion Industries’ that location doesn’t matter. It does.

seemed to be more picking on people and bullying. So I kind of wanted to make kids aware they can stand up for themselves and have more confidence as a person.” Penor added that participation in martial arts is a bonus for athletes who compete in other sports. “It’s the best supplement for any sport, I don’t care if it’s baseball, basketball, football, track, anything,” he said. The Rainier classes are filled with adults and children of all ages. “The best time to start is about age seven,” Penor said. “But I’ve had students as old as 77.” In fact, said Penor, who is in his mid-70s, age is no barrier to participating in martial arts. “I’ll never quit, I like to stay young,” Penor said. “Hanging around younger people helps. And I like to challenge myself and make sure I can still do it.” The students at Rainier come for different reasons. Eli Carson, 18, said his entrance was simply about having to earn a physical education credit at Green River. After earning that credit, how-

Jay Inslee and King County Executive Dow Constantine addressed the crowd. “We call ourselves a social enterprise because we run business enterprises — our contact center and our aerospace manufacturing division — to serve people with barriers to employment through training, education and successful business enterprises,” said Kelly Maloney, marketing manager for Orion Industries. Founded in 1957 as a vocational program for students with disabilities, Orion today also runs a training and employment division at its Auburn headquarters. Uriah Moore, supervisor
ever, he decided to stick with it and joined the classes at Rainier. “It was competitive, but also friendly,” he said. “It’s focused on control. Some martial arts don’t focus on the effectiveness of the attack. This is based on the effectiveness and the control of your own body. That’s what attracted me to karate, which gives you something to strive for and control.” He added: “There is a lot of great exercise, and it also helps with self confidence,” Carson said. “You learn to test the limits and get stronger.” Carson said he applies the lessons he’s learned in karate class to all parts of his life. “It’s a good way to exercise, but also the determination you have in karate can be applied in everything,” Carson said. “If you’re going to do good in karate, you have to push yourself, you have to get stronger. In other classes, if you’re going to do good, you have to push yourself. You can’t do just enough if you’re going to excel.” For Keagan Williams, 9, the class is primarily for self defense. “I’ve wanted to do karate for a while,” he said. “I wanted to learn self-defense and stuff.”
of the contact center, said that part of the company dates back to 2007. “Orion conducted a study that year to determine how it could reach different populations in the disabled community better,” Moore said. “It determined at the time that Orion was doing a great job as far as the manufacturing sector, but it was reaching more men with cognitive disabilities. And they wanted to improve their ability to provide opportunities to women with physical disabilities. So at the time the company decided that an outsource contact center would be the best way to make that happen.” That part of the business opened in 2008, taking on

Why is my mouth so dry?
Voted Best of Auburn
Four Years Running
Dr. Rich
Dr. Fields
.
.
Most of us have experienced the uncomfortable feeling of “cotton mouth” when we were really nervous, usually when having to speak in public. It’s not a comfortable feeling, and for most of us, is easily solved by drinking a glass of water. How would you like to have a dry mouth all the time? For many people, that is what they have to deal with on a daily basis. The technical term is xerostomia. Whatever it’s called, it is uncomfortable, and can result in an incredible amount of tooth decay in a short period of time. Saliva has a great protective effect, and buffers the acids in your mouth. It also lubricates the food you eat, making it easier to swallow and resulting in a lot less food debris building up around your teeth. When your saliva flow is greatly reduced, the acids in the foods and beverages you ingest attack your tooth enamel with much greater effect. Also, the bacterial plaque you have in your mouth gets much stickier and builds up on your teeth. The waste product of
all that bacteria is also very acidic. The end result is a much greater risk for massive tooth decay! So why do some people have plenty of saliva and others have mouths that feel more like Death Valley? There are many causes, including simple things like not drinking enough water. However, there are many other causes. Talk with your physician if you are on medications that seem to cause your mouth to feel dry. Sometimes there are alternatives. The most common classes of drugs to cause problems are those that treat depression and anxiety, as well as some cold and allergy medications that contain antihistamines or decongestants. Some pain medications and muscle relaxants also can cause a dry mouth. Smoking or using chewing tobacco can also cut down on your saliva production. Age can play a factor, as older people are often on multiple medications and may have other health conditions that can cause a dry mouth. They also tend Dr. Stuart Rich

AUBURN HEALTH FAIR: The Auburn Downtown Association, Turning Point (Fitness) Studio, American Karate, Corestar Pilates, Tribeca Day Spa, and MultiCare present the first Auburn Health Fair in downtown Auburn. The event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 28 at the cross
to drink less water as their mobility decreases, since it cuts down on trips to the bathroom. Cancer treatment can cause dry mouth issues, with chemotherapy drugs causing a temporary problem, and radiation treatment to the head and neck area often causing permanent damage to the saliva glands. Let your dentist know if you will be undergoing cancer treatment, as they may recommend special concentrated fluoride products and custom made trays to keep a protective fluoride gel in contact with your teeth for 30 minutes per day. The fluoride can remineralize and toughen up the acid-damaged enamel. Xerostomia can also be a consequence of some autoimmune diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome. If you notice you seem to be developing unexplained dry eyes and a dry mouth, you may want to consult with your doctor to be tested for this condition. Those of you who snore, or have a bed partner who is constantly elbowing you in the ribs to quiet you down or jumpstart your breathing, likely wake up with a very dry mouth. Snoring, morning headaches and a general feeling of waking up unrested are signs that you may have something called Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a lifethreatening condition much more serious than just a dry mouth! Your risk of a heart attack or stroke, among other issues, is much higher if this condition is left untreated. Ask your physician for a referral to a sleep medicine specialist or see a dentist specially trained to screen for the condition. Some of the worst decay I have ever seen in my practice is in patients who have abused methamphetamines. The term “meth mouth” was created by dentists to describe the horrifying damage to a person’s teeth that can occur in a relatively short period of time once someone becomes entangled in this form of drug abuse. It is caused by a combination of a significant reduction in saliva production, the acidity of meth itself, and the general lack

Lion grad ready to roar in collegiate lacrosse BY MIKE MCQUAID for the Auburn Reporter
Auburn Mountainview senior Nicole Burkhauser has a way of silencing her critics. Diagnosed with a genetic condition that causes hearing loss, Burkhauser was advised at an early age to stay away from contact sports. Instead of heeding the precautions, however, Burkhauser defied limitations to forge a successful lacrosse career with the Lake Tapps club - which includes student athletes from Auburn Riverside, Bonney Lake, White River, Sumner and Enumclaw high schools. Along the way the 5-foot-10 goalkeeper put her athleticism and tenacity to work, notching a .583 save percentage in goal while overcoming what most perceive as a disability to earn a NCAA scholarship to play for Division II Colorado State University – Pueblo. The chance to play at the next level makes her one of just two goaltenders out of 25 state high school seniors

Early on, the normally easygoing and affable Burkhauser bristled at her audiologist’s suggestion that she not play contact sports. “I decided to go out and try something because I love it, not to play it safe,” she said. “I don’t really care what other people think about what I should and shouldn’t do, I just do it.” It’s an attitude woven into Burkhauser’s life – and character.

Lucchesi to helm new Raven lacrosse program REPORTER STAFF
The Auburn Riverside High School Athletic Department has announced the selection of Lou Lucchesi to lead the school’s new boys lacrosse program. Lucchesi coached the Lake Tapps Titans, a high school club team, during a successful fouryear run in Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association Division I play.

Along with team success,
individual players thrived in Lucchesi’s system. He coached two All-Americans and had 14 players recognized as all-league performers. Eight players have moved on to play college lacrosse during his tenure. “I am very excited to be Lou Lucchesi part of the inaugural season and to bring my experience as a head coach to Auburn Riverside,” Lucchesi said. Auburn Riverside has worked closely with WHSBLA
[ LACROSSE from page 14 ] rather than relying on others around her who may or may not have the ability to sign. “When I was in middle school, my principal told me I had to learn ASL because I was going to go deaf some day,” Burkhauser said with a hint of defiance. “At that age, we do the exact opposite of what people tell you to do. I think I’ve proven my point to him.” Where some would consider hearing loss to hindrance in the communication-critical position of goaltender, Burkhauser turned it around, like every other challenge tossed her way, instead encouraging her own team to communicate
representatives and Lake Tapps Lacrosse to develop the program at the high school. Ravens lacrosse athletes will have the opportunity to play for their school and earn a letter. “We are very fortunate to have someone of Lou Lucchesi’s experience and expertise to start our program,” said Doug Aubert, Auburn Riverside athletic director. “Having a coach of his caliber and his local connections will help make the transition from club to high school a successful one for one of the fastest-growing sports in our area.” Boys lacrosse will compete next spring.
[ COACHES from page 14 ] The Lions placed fifth at the 2012 state tournament under coach Nicole Thompson.
Boys basketball Thomas Ostrander takes the helm as coach. Ostrander comes to Auburn by way of Bonney Lake, where he was the girls basketball coach for six years. During that time, he led the Panthers to six straight postseason appearances and two state 3A tourney appearances. Ostrander was a three-sport athlete (soccer, basketball and football) at East Valley High School in Yakima and played football for Washington State University, including the 2001 Sun Bowl, the 2003 Rose Bowl and the 2003 Holiday Bowl.

Wrestling Coach Jay McGuffin takes over the Lions’ program next winter. McGuffin comes to Auburn Mountainview from Chelan High School, where he taught and coached wrestling for eight years. McGuffin earned Caribou Trail 1A League Coach of the Year honors three times. He was twice honored as regional Coach of the Year. Under McGuffin, the Mountain Goats finished in the top 10 four times at the Mat Classic, with four individual state champions. McGuffin started wrestling at age 5 and competed collegiately for the Universities of Oregon and Boise State, where he competed in the Pac-10 championships and NCAAs.
caught the attention of CSU-Pueblo coach Monica Potter after the accomplished coach discovered her while recruiting in the state. At Auburn Mountainview, Burkhauser wrapped up her spring schedule with academic challenges including AP literature, advanced algebra and trigonometry along with college-level Spanish – preparing her for her freshman year at college, and perhaps a career in medicine. But it’s her jewelry class that has provided the welcomed distraction from the stresses of the classroom and the field. In the class Burkhauser crafted a necklace that will show during May at the Bellevue Art Museum’s “Pass-
ing the Torch” high school jewelry completion. And as if school, jewelry and sports weren’t enough, Burkhauser finds time to volunteer with a cat adoption program at the King County Regional Animal Shelter and prepares and serves Sunday meals at Auburn’s Messiah Lutheran Church. She admits that striking off on her own to Colorado for college is daunting. But for Burkhauser, taking risks and exploring new frontiers is what it’s all about – whether in life or in goal. “There’s no one there to back you up. It’s all on you,” she said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s where I’m meant to be.”

Cyclist trims down, revs up for benefit ride Gabe Scott, a Mike Scarff Subaru sales and leasing consultant, will join Team Subaru in a 100-mile charity bike ride to benefit the American Diabetes Association this summer. The Tour De Cure race in Hillsboro, Ore., on July 26 will be the first event of its kind for Scott. “Live to ride ... ride to live,” a determined Scott said of his goal. Scott took up cycling two years ago as a 275-pound man after a friend successfully lost weight by getting on a bike. Scott soon became addicted
to the sport, losing 40 pounds as a result of his new exercise regime. Prior to discovering cycling, Scott frequently went to the gym and used elliptical or stationary bikes but grew bored with the monotony of indoor exercising machines. With outdoor cycling, Scott discovered it was possible to enjoy exercise. As a single father, squeezing in training rides to prepare for the race has been difficult for Scott, but he plans to increase his mileage over the next six weeks to prepare for the benefit ride. Scott trains as a member of the hill-loving Cyclopaths cycling club in Puyallup. Part of
Scott’s training includes riding a low-traveled road known by the club as “The Climb,” which ascends 1,000 feet in five miles. Until now, the farthest and most challenging ride Scott has done was a treacherous 103-mile event in Chelan that featured approximately 8,000 feet of climbing. If his schedule allows, Scott hopes to complete this route again in late June as part of his training. The Tour De Cure race offers multiple distances for all levels of cyclists. To sponsor Scott or to learn more, contact him at 253-7371345 or gscott@mikescarffsubaru.com.

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
