The young teenage girl and her boyfriend were at the door of the Public Health Center a half-hour before it opened at 8 a.m. on a Monday, Nurse Practitioner Carol Tanaka recounted to the Auburn City Council this week. Tests confirmed the young couple’s fears – the girl was pregnant. Given the beatings she had endured from her parents – the evidence was all over her body – Tanaka decided it would not be safe for her to go home. At that critical moment, Child Protective Services and Auburn Police were tied up. Tanaka got the girl involved with Maternal Support Services, with Women and Infant Child Services and convinced her to wait until more help could arrive. After two more calls, Tanaka said, Auburn Police came, gathered information and agreed it wouldn’t be safe for the girl to return home. It was 3 p.m. before

HURST For State House

For State Senate

Your Best Team for the 31st District. Voters in our district elected both of us, but we are from different political parties. We don’t always agree, but we’re tired of the partisan way of doing things in Olympia and in Washington DC. It’s time for something new. School funding, creating jobs, and keeping government accountable shouldn’t be partisan issues. We pledge to work as a team to do what’s best for the citizens. When we do disagree, we promise to do it respectfully and look for common ground. Isn’t that the way it should be?

Sincerely,

On May 21st and 27th, 2014 the Tacoma News Tribune reported that Linda Messner filed as a Democrat in the 31st District. According to the story, she has posted messages online that call for the impeachment of President Obama because she says, “He is not a citizen”, and says that Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted. In fact Messner called everyone in the White House “racists” and goes on to equate President Obama with serial killers Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. Senator Roach told the Tacoma News Tribune that she knows the person who filed Messner as a Democrat and thanked them for doing it to help her in her race. This is information you should know when deciding how to vote.

Public hearing set on Wesley Homes’ proposed nursing care, rehab center

[ HIGH SCHOOL from page 1 ]

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Washington State Department of Health’s Certificate of Need Program presents a public hearing Tuesday on Wesley Homes Lea Hill retirement community’s proposed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center. The meeting begins at 1:15 p.m. at the Algona-Pacific Library, 255 Ellingson Road, Pacific. The program is a regulatory process that requires certain healthcare providers to get state approval before building certain types of facilities or offering new to expanded services. The plan is to build a $6.6 million, 36-bed skilled nursing facility, offering skilled nursing services in private suites, “enhancing the spectrum of care available to Auburn residents and the surrounding communities.” The applicant, Seattle University, is the entity Wesley Homes is buying the beds from, according to Sue Singer, co-chair of the capital campaign, which is working to raise $2 million of the estimated $10 million construction cost through philanthropy. The campaign has raised $1.4

Wesley Homes’ proposed health care center, far right, would be attached by way of a sky bridge to the north end of the west wing of Eby Lodge, along 320th St. SE. COURTESY RENDERING, Insite Architects million to date. The state demands a Certificate of Need for construction, development or establishment of the following healthcare facilities: hospitals; nursing homes; kidney dialysis centers; Medicare or Medicaid home health agencies; Medicare or Medicaid hospice agencies; ambulatory surgical centers; and hospice care centers A decision is expected by Sept. 12. While the Certificate of Need is required, Singer said, “a public hearing on it is held only by request.” A Bellevue resident has asked for the hearing. “Hopefully it’s just a formality because it’s pretty obvious we need those beds,” Singer said of the hearing. According to the Washington State Department of Health’s website, a Certificate of Need process is meant to help ensure that facilities and new services proposed by healthcare providers are needed for quality patient care within a particular region or

community. According to Wesley Homes, the private suites design is intended to allow patients, caregivers and visiting families and friends to engage in private conversations and enjoy quiet times. The privacy and dignity provided in the new health center will be distinctive in a skilled nursing facility, especially one that is not-for-profit and is affordable. The Lea Hill Health Center will be certified under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nursing assistants providing aroundthe-clock care under the supervision of the resident’s physician. The facility will offer a leadingedge configuration of living areas in two “neighborhoods” of 16 to 20 individuals, with shared living space and kitchens. Personal caregivers are to staff the neighborhoods.

“We have to go through and clean it in the areas where the ceiling intersects with the walls,” Newman said. “When we did cleaning in the 1980s, we thought we took care of all that by shooting a sealant on. But in that sealant are some remnants of asbestos, so we have to abate different aspects of that.” While all that tearing down is going on, work continues on the construction of the new Auburn High School on East Main Street. According to school officials, the massive, $110 million construction project is on schedule. Lydig Construction, the principal contractor, is building the state-of-the-art school, which is on track to open for classes on Sept. 3. The main building of the old school won’t be razed completely in this phase of the overall project. The district plans to save the gymnasium and the space east of the gym, the latter for music classes while work starts on the new gymnasium on the back side of the Performing Arts Center. The new gym should be completed next summer.

Newman said a recent district cost analysis showed it would be more expensive to keep the gym where it is and do the necessary upgrades to make it compatible with the new high school than to tear it down. “The gym stays for this phase of the project while the new gym is being built between the Performing Arts Center and Auto Technology because we need it for P.E. and athletics,” Newman said. A couple of important dates: • Auburn High’s first home football game is Sept. 5, and the school plans to host an opening barbecue day before the game. • Saturday, Sept. 13 is the public open house and dedication. “There’s lots to get done inside to get it ready with desks and furniture setup. We got a temporary certificate of occupancy last week. That means we can go in and do the work necessary in there so they’ll be able to start setting up classrooms and office spaces,” Newman said. Teachers return in August.

City specifies, adopts its own rules regarding lewd acts BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Lewd behavior may be an act as mundane as a drunk man relieving himself in the full glare of daylight on a city street without giving a rip if anyone sees him. And a host of, ahem, other behaviors, some of which may be a bit too salacious for inclusion in a family newspaper.

This week’s…

July 3 Felony eluding: 5:40 a.m., 1000 Auburn Way S. Police got involved in the pursuit of a reckless driver.

That’s the night the Auburn City Council passed an ordinance that makes it possible for Auburn Police to cite locally-written rules about what does and does not constitute lewd behavior. “This will put it on the books

for the City, without an officer having to say, ‘Oh, we don’t anything on the Auburn code, we have to use state law,” said City Councilmember John Holman, a former police officer. Exposing one’s genitals or breasts, touching or fondling, masturbation or other sexual conduct now constitute lewd acts. The ordinance specifies that

Tire slashing: Overnight, 410 block of 7th Street Southeast. An Auburn resident complained that a homeless acquaintance slashed a tire on his vehicle after he, the resident, had declined to answer his door when the man came a-knocking, the latest episode in the fellow’s many-seasoned mooch for money.

of the administration and council at this weekend’s Pacific Days celebration, July 11-13, at Pacific Park. “We’ll all have a button on that says, ‘Ask Me’ with a marijuana leaf on it,” Knudtson said. “This is the time for residents to be heard. I really want to hear how people feel. This is the chance for them to voice their opinions. It’s going to be really interesting.” Today, the City of Pacific has a moratorium in place banning any marijuana businesses – retail or medical – from opening in the city. Taking advantage of various loopholes in the law, however, several dispensaries have found ways to open in the past two years. Pacific Green Collective and Chronic Solutions, medical marijuana stores adjacent to each other in a business complex on Stewart Road in the Pierce County portion of Pacific, have been operating for more than a year. Pacific Green Collective, a medical marijuana dispensary, obtained its business license during a lapse in the City’s moratorium, which has been renewed several times. Chronic Solutions, also a medical marijuana purveyor, opened in May of 2013, taking advantage of a loophole that does not require a business license for the city. Two other storefronts at the business complex also indicate marijuana businesses operating, or ready to

operate. Knudtson said the City hopes to block unregulated stores from cropping up in the future. “We don’t want another moratorium,” Knudtson said. “We want rules in place so we can go forward as a City. We want some concrete rules.” Although the actual ordinance the council anticipates voting on this month was unavailable at press time, officials expect it will allow regulated retail shops and production and processing businesses. Medical marijuana businesses, however, which are unregulated, could find themselves outlawed. “I’m so torn because I legitimately see the benefits of medical marijuana,” Knudtson said. “My sister has lupus and benefits from it. I appreciate that, and that it’s more affordable for people who may not be able to afford it. But I don’t like that it’s unregulated.” Knudtson said the key to allowing retail and production/processing in Pacific is to cut down on the criminal element. Pacific unveiled its new proposed marijuana ordinance this past Wednesday at a special planning commission meeting. The ordinance was unavailable before press time. The council hosts a public hearing at 7 p.m., July 16 in the City Gymnasium at 305 Milwaukee Ave.

Many of us believe in all sorts of plots and conspiracies. Most may be goofy, but I have come across one directly aimed at me – evil little hairball Hal. It involves my cellphone, which apparently has a mind of its own; a smarter brain than mine (not a stretch). I was tipped off to the plot when my boneheaded phone made a call, for no apparent reason. This wasn’t the first time, and I never know to whom or when it will strike. I’ll be stumbling around and, suddenly, I hear a voice coming from my pocket. That’s a ball of fun. About a week ago the beast in my pocket started calling a number I didn’t even know was in my contacts. I just bought this dumb device, and it suddenly knows my history. I am certain it is reading my thoughts and making calls to squeal on me. It’s like carrying an annoying third-grader named Hal in my pocket. You know, the kid that sat in the front row, always raising his hand first, with the right, stupid answer. After recess, hairball Hal was always in a secret conference with my teacher, giving her the rundown on the seven deadly sins I’d committed. I am convinced it is Hal who is lurking in my pocket, still a third grader, and still annoying. At any moment this phone will suddenly pick someone to call, seemingly without logic or reason. But I think there is a pattern I detect, a hairball Hal pattern. Hal must have grown into a twisted adult and now sits in a windowless room, with pasty skin, devising a phone to squeal on my seven rotten sins. I’m pretty sure he has invented a new set of seven sins. All the things that used to be OK when I was in third grade, but since the advent of new math, a bunch of new bad has been invented. I suspect the only solution is to revert back to the one phone that always worked and [ more BOX page 6 ]

If it were, it is absolutely not by heavy metal (or any other music) but by larger forces, including environmental apathy, poor parenting, inadequate education/school funding, bigotry/ intolerance, abuse, corruption, lack of critical thinking, waste-

So when standardized test time rolls around, if a student doesn’t pass in grades 3-8 and 10, their school likely won’t show enough progress to quash the need to notify parents.

Responding to a June 20 letter to the editor (“It’s time to sack plastic bags,” Auburn Reporter), which expressed commonly misguided rationale for banning plastic bags. These justifications are misconceptions of environmental issues surrounding plastic bags – largely based on junk science. The truth is plastic retail [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

It’s a dilemma faced in just about every state. But Washington is the only state facing the letter requirement because the others snagged waivers from the U.S. Department of Education. This state had such a waiver, but lost it this year following a legislative deadlock on including student test scores in the evaluation of teacher performance. Dorn last month asked federal education officials to again waive the requirement to send letters. [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Construction on Auburn’s Fenster Levee under way FOR THE REPORTER

The City of Auburn and King County began construction of the second phase of the Fenster Levee Setback project at the Fenster Nature Park on Monday. The stream restoration project replaces approximately 520 feet of

bags are the best environmental option at the checkout. Environmental studies have proven that plastic grocery bags are simply not a major contributor to litter, across the United States. In fact, plastic bags make up less than 0.5 percent of the

municipal waste stream and traditionally a fraction of 1 percent of litter in most cities. Banning plastic bags forces consumers to options that increase greenhouse gas levels in our atmosphere. The process required to manufacture and distribute reusable bags is energy intensive and puts

public. During construction, nearby residents will notice the use of trucks and heavy construction equipment, which can generate increased levels of noise and dust. Trucks will generally enter the project area via 2nd Street Southeast and exit via 4th Street

more carbon in the air than the process for plastic bags. American-made plastic bags are produced from natural gas, are 100-percent recyclable and emit far fewer greenhouse gases in their production. Although many believe reusable bags are more environmentally friendly, a recent Edelman Berland

study found that shoppers routinely forget them at home and use them far less frequently than intended. These bags pose health hazards as breeding grounds for bacteria, especially when consumers admittedly never clean them. Approximately 16.4 million Americans bring reusable bags into grocery stores each week that have never been cleaned. If Auburn were to focus on recycling plastic bags as opposed to banning them, we could promote environmental stewardship while

avoiding the undesirable path of regulation. – Philip R. Rozenski, American Progressive Bag Association

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] He also pledged to make sure parents are well aware of their school’s progress, and their options, which include transferring their child to another campus or receive tutoring. His chances of succeeding are far south of slim. It relies on the feds giving up what is arguably their most punitive tool against states which fall off the NCLB waiver wagon, as Washington did. The letters publicly shame individual schools and entire districts. Many parents will be quick studies on what’s really going on behind the scenes. Dorn

Clutter utterly dismays me My wife says daily, Richard, put your stuff away. I’ve done it on occasion more often than not until one day I realized it’s a losing battle as stuff magnifies on the spot. I’ve got more clutter than anything else I’ve got. I suggest, had we a smaller house: a room for her, a room for me, one for us, a kitchen, a tiny dining nook, a room to gather for friends and then that room bigger than all others, wholly for clutter, with a built-in conveyor belt that when you open the door you are met with a choo-choo train like cart, something resembling Noah’s Ark, you can fill with stuff and send it on its way. Clutter-less, wouldn’t life be simpler? Each day I would look at my wife and she at me, we’d smile at each other and state in equanimity: we thank the Lord we’re clutter-free.

is worried about consequences in the community if these bureaucratic badges of dishonor are sent out. “The letters’ misrepresentation that our schools are failing will erode public support for local funding — and, we think, will needlessly and dangerously distract Washington’s voters and lawmakers at a time when transparent, truthful information about our schools is most critical,” Dorn wrote to Assistant Secretary of Education Deborah Delisle. In the meantime, Dorn has drafted a model letter for districts that doesn’t specifically say schools are failing.

Rather, it explains in some detail the process of how the school did not meet one or more measurements for progress and are considered to be in “Step 1 of Improvement” – a term ripped from the federal law itself. And it closes by pointing out the fault is not with the school, but with the federal law. “Please keep in mind the only reason you are receiving this letter this year is because Washington state lost its waiver from NCLB requirements,” he wrote.

$631,456 project. The project will reconnect the river to nearly 2½ acres of its historic floodplain and provide for a more natural shoreline, while maintaining the existing level of flood protection for neighboring homes, streets and infrastructure. The project is the final segment of a larger Green River corridor restoration effort extending nearly two miles upstream from the Fenster Nature Park.

On Aug. 11, 2011, a group of Marines ran 100 miles – from Thurmont, Md., to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia – to honor a comrade, Capt. Tyler B. Swisher, and to raise funds for his family. After that first run, those Marines – all veterans of Marine Barracks 8th and I in Washington D.C., a unit tasked with ceremonial and security duties involving the President of the United States – decided to make their little jog an annual event. The run is intended to raise money and awareness for those who have lost family members in the line of duty. The Always Brothers’ 100-mile runs have branched out from that first one on the East Coast. This year’s 100-mile run in Washington state benefits surviving military family members by helping fund education for children of fallen warriors.

a CPS social worker drove in from Everett, saw the girl and deemed it would not be safe for her to go home. Authorities placed her in protective custody. This sort of thing happens perhaps more often than people realize, Tanaka told the council on Monday. “I saw 22 of your citizens today, 22, some have insurance, some don’t, but we don’t turn anybody away,” Tanaka said. “These could be your daughters, they could be your sons, your granddaughters, your grandsons, your neighbors, your co-workers … “ Now, however, there’s a possibility that the Public Health Center in Auburn may no longer be there. Ten years of dwindling financial support have taken their toll on King County’s public health services – and now, county officials say, a $15 million annual shortfall is forcing them to make difficult choices. Unfortunately, one of those “difficult choices” may be to close the Public Health Center in Auburn, along with centers in

Federal Way, Northshore in Bothell, and Greenbridge in White Center. No final decisions have been made to date, and Tanaka urged the City to tell the King County Council not to close the center. “There are many homeless youth, homeless folks, homeless women, at-risk youth in our population, women infant and children, and my specific job is to provide family planning services,” Tanaka said. “I see a lot of social issues as well. I am not sure you are aware how many actually live in this community. I live in this community, and I’m passionate about the patients I see.” King County’s proposal calls for shifting some services onto the shoulders of community organizations and making reductions to

cause. “Jerry Eck from Valley Recycling is paying for the water, and AutoZone is providing the cleaning supplies,” Garberding said. Garberding will be in a booth at the Auburn Farmers Market on July 20 to sell more tickets and provide information about the organization. “I just decided what they do is so spectacular and that we had to do something this year to show our support,” Garberding said. “We don’t take enough care of the families of our military men and women. Back in 1944, my mom was 5 months pregnant when her husband was killed in France. At the time, she received her husband’s Purple Heart, a flag, 150 bucks and a telegram. Sad to say that 70 years later they don’t receive much more.” For more information, please contact Garberding at imadaisylady@aol.com

pushed the agency past the tipping point. “We’ve run out of rabbits we can pull from our hat,” said Dr. David Fleming, director and Health Officer for Public Health– Seattle & King County. “To operate with a balanced budget, we may be compelled to reduce staffing and services.” If the King County Council adopts the reductions in November, those centers could feel the blow. While the Northshore Center would close, one of its satellite clinics would remain open. County officials say they made the site-closure proposals with the goal of maximizing services to as many clients as possible. While support services for pregnant women and children and for family planning may

According to a county press release, ever since voters repealed the major source of funding for Public Health 14 years ago, and a voter-approved cap on property taxes restricted the remaining source of local, flexible funding, finances for Public Health– Seattle & King County have been precarious, County officials say they had been able to patch the gap in recent years by “creating efficiencies, spending one-time reserves, securing outside grants and special funding, and reducing staff – including a major round of layoffs in 2009.” Now, however, they say, reductions to federal payments for administering Medicaid and other cuts, have

t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it.

be lost at these locations, they would continue to be offered at six other locations in King County, including Kent, Renton and Eastgate, Fleming said. More broadly, reductions would impact a range of core public services – such as reducing the capacity for disease investigations, and curtailing Public Health work on tobacco and obesity prevention. “This is painful and, like you, I’m concerned about our clients,” Dr. Fleming wrote in a message to staff. “We’ll work with our communities to try to find ways to mitigate some of these cuts, but at the end of the day, this is likely to result in a loss of services for some of our clients.”

Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.

That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle.

Former Lion grappler wraps up collegiate career

Morgan earns all-state nod

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The highlight came just a few matches into wrestler Tyler Peretti’s senior season at Central College in Pella, Iowa. With two wins by major decision already under his belt at the NCAA Division III Tournament at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, the 149-pound Peretti needed just one more win to punch his ticket to the division title match. “In high school, if you hadn’t heard of a wrestler, there was a pretty good chance you were going to beat them,” said Peretti, a 2010 Auburn Mountainview graduate. “In college, you just never knew how good they were going to be.” So, Peretti said, he knew he had his hands full as he locked up with his opponent, Greg Sanders from Concordia University-Wisconsin. After dueling to a 0-0 regulation finish, the pair went to overtime, when neither grappler was able to gain an advantage, again finishing 0-0.

Auburn Mountainview’s Jeffrey Morgan has been named to the Washington State Baseball Coaches Assocation’s 3A All-State first team. Morgan, a junior outfielder, led the Lions with 23 RBIs this season. He hit .378, scored 23 runs and had two doubles, a triple and two home runs. Morgan Jeffrey Morgan also led the team in stolen bases with 21 in 24 attempts. In the field, Morgan committed just two errors in 38 total chances, with 32 putouts and four assists. Auburn Mountainview finished the season 15-10 overall, 11-4 in the South Puget Sound League 3A. The Lions were eliminated in the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 tourney. Lakeside’s Dana Papasedero was named 3A Coach of the Year by the WSBCA, and senior Lakeside pitcher Adrew Summerville was chosen Player of the Year.

Tyler Peretti, a 2010 Auburn Mountainview graduate and Washington State wrestling champion, grapples with an opponent at Central College in Iowa. COURTESY PHOTO In double overtime, Peretti and Sanders notched escapes, putting the score at 1-1, forcing an extra overtime period. “I clinched it after wrestling for about 12 minutes (with a 3-2 decision),” Peretti said. “I was pumped and ran off with my adrenaline just rushing. Our coach had a rule that we had to run sprints after matches. I was in the hallway running when one of the assistant coaches came up

and told me I had just knocked off the defending national champion.” Although the upset is foremost among Peretti’s wrestling memories, it’s just one of Tyler Peretti many he garnered over more than 10 years of competitive wrestling. In his senior year, as a

prep athlete, Peretti led the Auburn Mountainview program, winning the 130-pound title in 2010 in his second straight Mat Classic state 3A appearance. Peretti said at first he was unsure what to do after high school, althogh he was considering attending and wrestling at several Northwest colleges, including Highline College, Simon Fraser [ more PERETTI page 16 ]

versity in Canada and Oregon’s Clackamas Community College. “I didn’t make a decision until June, right before high school graduation,” Peretti said. Instead of remaining close to home, Peretti said, the appeal of a little college in Iowa was too great. “On my visit they had nice facilities,” Peretti said of Central College. “They just hired a new coach (Eric Van Kley) before I got here. He turned the program around. They had a tradition in the past of being excellent, but it was going downhill.” During Peretti’s time as a member of the Dutch wrestling program, the team qualified at least one wrestler to the national tourney each year. “I could tell he (the coach) was doing great things,” Peretti said, “and the fact that it was a small college and there would be more opportunities to get help if I needed it helped.” During his freshman year, Peretti said, two things became apparent immediately. First was the step up in competition from prep high school. “I had national exposure as a high-schooler, so Reach

Wrestler Tyler Peretti manhandles an opponent during his senior year of competition at Central College in Pella, Iowa. COURTESY PHOTO I expected a big step coming in,” he said. “Going from being a Washington state title winner to out here, I realized very early on you had to take every opponent serious.” Second, Peretti learned that wrestling in Iowa is a very big deal. “I got to go to the Iowa state high school tournament, and every wrestler

should experience that,” he said. “My roommate at Central my junior year was from Iowa. When he went to state, everyone from his town came to watch him wrestle. They canceled school for two days so they could come and watch him. It was just a great experience.” Although Peretti didn’t start his freshman year, he cracked the roster as

a 141-pound sophomore and earned the team’s Most Improved Award that year. As a junior, he again competed at 141, stringing together a 16-9 record with three pins and five major decisions. His senior year he jumped up to 149 pounds, and, as a team captain, went 23-11. Peretti graduated from Central with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and finished his collegiate career with a 70-40 record. Although many wrestlers want to compete for as long as they can, Peretti welcomes a new challenge – getting a job and moving on with his life. “No matter what, I’m going to miss wresting and being a part of those teams. I’ve loved all of them,” he said. “But I was ready for it. Personally, I put in all the effort I could, 110 percent, and did all the little things. So, I was kind of ready for the next step of my life. And finding a job is the next step.” Although his priority is to get started with a career, Peretti said, coaching wrestling in the future is a possibility. “I definitely want to coach in the future, just not the immediate future,” he said.

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

Dear Neighbors, I have a private life that I have been living which my political enemies will contort and try to use against me in this campaign. They have failed at most of their own efforts, so they lash out at my successes. So here is my hidden life: I help people around the world. I represent America, to the best of my ability, wherever I go. Sincerely, ZAMBIA
