Auburn to decide its call in new radio system BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Police, fire and emergency responders of all kinds rely on King County’s radio system every minute of every day to do their jobs. But the system’s provider, the
Motorola Company, has already told King County that after 2017, it will no longer support the 20-yearold equipment that constitutes the county’s present emergency radio system. Although King County expects
to put a bond issue out to taxpayers sometime next April to pay for up-to-date equipment – also to be provided by Motorola – it is too early in the game to say exactly how much the county will ask for. [ more SYSTEM page 6 ]

The King County Prosecutor’s office last Friday charged a 38-year-old Des Moines man with four counts of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault for the accident Oct. 25 on Auburn Way South that killed four young people and severely injured a fifth. Police say Nicholas W. Anderson had taken a friend’s Nissan and, under the influence of alcohol, was driving it at least 60 mph in a posted 35-mph zone just before 2 a.m.
when he lost control, left the road, slammed into a tree and mowed down three utility boxes. The accident killed Andrew Tedford, 31, Caleb Graham, 23, Rehlein Stone, 21, and Suzanne McCay, 29. James Vaccaro, 23, sustained severe head trauma and remains in a coma at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, facing what doctors have told authorities are dim prospects for recovery. All of the victims were passengers in the Nissan. A dog that had been in the car [ more CRASH page 7 ]

POSTE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS TREE STEWARD
Red-light camera system to be removed soon BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The City of Auburn is giving up on its eight-year-old red-light photo enforcement system. That much the City decided Nov. 17 when, by a 4-3 vote, councilmembers, having decided weeks earlier not to continue with the present vendor, decided against awarding a contract to a new vendor, Massachusetts-based GATSO, Inc. One question now – when will the vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems of Arizona, take away the cameras and pull out the underground sensors and wiring at all the photo-enforced
intersections? All anybody can say at this point is, within the next month or two. “It’s the question I have,” said Councilman Wayne Osborne of the interval when removal starts and finishes. “That’s a question that will be settled by the administration.” “They had been waiting for the news of who would be awarded the contract, and hoping it would be them,” Mayor Nancy Backus said Monday of Redflex. “They’d hoped to replace the equipment that’s there now with their own new equipment. Now they know.” Police Chief Bob Lee said as far
as the affect on his department is concerned, the patrol officer who has been coming in several hours a day to review video and photos of potential infractions will no longer be doing that. “The officer will be on the street, patrolling,” Lee said. The City launched the program on June 30, 2006 at two intersections: Auburn Way South and 4th Street Southeast; and Auburn Way South and M Street Southeast. It added Harvey Road and 8th Street in December of that year. Today the program equips school zone safety cameras for Mt. Baker Middle School and in the school

safety zones of Chinook, Dick Scobee, Lea Hill and Arthur Jacobsen elementary schools. It was the marked drop every year since the cameras went live in the number of infractions issued – ironically one sign of its success – that the system was no longer paying for itself, and the “unfriendly message” it sent to out-of-town visitors that soured City leaders on Redflex and turned them against the photo enforcement program. The contract with Redflex expires at the end of the year. The City had paid the company $180,000 every year to keep things going.

she had become suspicious that something bad was happening to her mother, so she hid a camera in the room and thus obtained video proof of the assault. According to charging papers, the video depicts Laszlo walking into the room and helping the woman up to a sitting position with her legs dangling over the edge. He pulls down his sweatpants, forces the reluctant woman to perform a sex act on him on him for about five minutes, pulls up his pants again and escorts her out of the room in her wheelchair.

Ulrey said. “The defendant has ties to the East Coast and appears to have ties to Russia and Hungary. … In addition, Auburn Police Department’s investigation has revealed that there may be more victims.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office on Nov. 19 charged the owner and caregiver of two adult family homes in Auburn with one count of second-degree rape for what it claims was his Nov. 13 sexual assault on an 83-year-old, fully-disabled female resident afflicted with advanced dementia. Laszlo Molnar, 67, posted $200,000 bail at his bail hearing last Saturday and was released from custody. Prosecutors, however, concerned that he posed a flight risk, persuaded the judge to increase the bail to $750,000 and officers booked him into jail the new bail amount on Nov. 18, KCPO spokesman Dan
Donohoe said. Upon Laszlo’s arrest, police removed all 12 elderly female residents from the two homes and ambulances transported them to area hospitals, where they are to stay until arrangements can be made for their future care. Auburn Police say there has been no activity at the adult homes since Nov. 13. According to the Auburn Police Department’s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause, on which the single charge is based, here is what happened: Having responded to AA Adult Family Home at 2705 Forest Ridge Drive SE at 7:20 p.m. upon the complaint of the elderly woman’s daughter, police learned that

THE PETRI DISH
Lackluster support for I-594 may have hurt Democrats Democrats are trying to sort out what went wrong in the election and why the presence of Initiative 594 on the ballot didn’t motivate more of their voters to turn out. Party leaders all along thought the popular measure requiring background checks be conducted on buyers of guns online and through private sales would spur some of those prone to skipping midterm elections to participate. They believed a small boost of proDemocrat voters in just the right places could swing a close race and maybe upend a targeted Republican. It didn’t play out that way. Democrats lost seats in both chambers – sometimes in communities where the measure was passing handily. Republicans picked up one seat in the Senate in south King County and four in the House, deposing three incumbent Democrats in the process. Those seats are in districts covering swaths of Pierce, Thurston, Clark, Mason and Kitsap counties. Initiative 594 is passing in all those counties, except Mason, according to data assembled thus far by initiative supporters. Precinct-by-precinct details won’t be available until next month when election results are certified. “I don’t think it hurt us but I don’t think it helped us to the degree that we thought it would,” admitted Adam Bartz, executive director of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee. One explanation is that in spite of polls detailing the measure’s popularity with voters, only a handful of Democrats associated themselves with the initiative. Only a few were like Sen. Marko Liias, D-Everett, who actively campaigned for it and went on to win with 54.5 percent. Most Democratic candidates steered clear of the measure as best they could. They feared any overt demonstration of support would trigger a reaction from the NRA like in 1994 when the national gun rights group helped defeat Democrats who endorsed an assault weapons ban. The NRA flexed its muscles again three years later by helping upend a statewide gun control-related initiative. Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, chairman of the House Democratic Campaign Committee, said he didn’t view I-594 as a “positive tool” and knew Democratic candidates avoided using it because of what the NRA did in 1994. Yet Hunt didn’t think it would have made a difference had they embraced it more strongly. Jerry Cornfield

Red-light cameras are needed Whoa! What’s wrong with this picture? Traffic citations are down over the past six years after Auburn deployed the “redlight running” cameras. Hello. That indicates the system is working, and yet the City Council has decided to discontinue the program. Of course, as a result of this success, citation revenue is down, but revenue was not the reason we deployed the cameras. Right? The total number of accidents has not significantly decreased over this period. The FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) states this is typical. But percentage wise, the types of accidents tend to significantly change from the more deadly side or (T-bone) accidents to the less serious rear-end type. FHWA analyses establish that this trade-off is beneficial in reducing injury and cost, as realized in reduced hospital bills, property damage to vehicles, insurance expenses, value of lost quality of life, etc. Statistically, their study reveals red-light cameras indirectly save society $39,000 to $50,000 per intersection annually. This assumes, of course, that the cameras were deployed correctly at carefully chosen locations where historical traffic problems have been a major concern. Kudos to Councilmember Bill Peloza and the two other councilmembers who voted to continue this program.
Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. If at all possible, we should continue this program. Our traffic continues to worsen yearly, and our lives and safety are worth the cost of supplementing the citation revenue. – Don Jensen
Thanks, council, for removing the cameras I want to thank the City Council for removing the red light cameras. Especially in these days of limited budgets, I see no reason for spending money when statistics show there is nothing gained in accident reduction. I am one of those drivers who have had the driver before me slam on the brakes for what I assume was fear of running a red light when they would have cleared the intersection if they had just continued at their current speed. – Dan Shields
College isn’t living up to faculty’s contract I would like to congratulate Dr. Eileen Ely and the Green River Community College administration on their recent victory. Through sustained and determined effort, and sparing no expense, the administration has been able to exploit a loophole to not pay faculty what the faculty contracts stipulate. But don’t worry, the raises for those in administration are safe. So call out a hearty “well done!” the next time you pass the Administration Building on the GRCC campus, though they may not be able to hear you over the sound of popping champagne corks. Sure, as a faculty member, I may feel slighted, but I have been assured that maybe I will, perhaps, be paid something someday, if they feel like it. Though my enthusiasm for staying at GRCC is dampened, I know – and I am sure the administration knows – that most faculty are reluctant to leave, if for no other reason than that we would lose what little job security we retain. I guess I’ll have to pin my hopes on getting an email from administration around Christmastime, telling me how valued I am. That will give me warm cuddlies in my tummy.

Making that happen will take a lot of cooperation among those entities. And of course, a lot of money.

The City’s Municipal Services Committee discussed the pending resolution Monday before forwarding it to the full council. “They’re replacing the police radios because Motorola is no longer going to support the radio system they have,” said Auburn City Councilman Wayne Osborne, a member of the committee. “They’re going to have to move into the next generation.

While I-594 is losing in several counties, it is passing on the strength of votes from Democrats, Republicans and independents where many of this year’s most contested legislative battles took place. “We demonstrated we can take on the gun lobby and win,” said Geoff Potter, spokesman for the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility that conducted the campaign. “That’s a message candidates could hear and legislators should keep in mind going into the next session,” he said.

I’m not that same person because there is always a sadness there. But God helps get you through those days. Prayer and people praying for me get me through it.” It also helps knowing that her daughter gave life to others as an organ donor. The Muckleshoot Tribal School – where Rachel was a member, a para-educator and a coach – and LifeCenter Northwest honored her with a ceremony on Nov. 19. Family and former students united to complete a floragraph portrait – a flower-shaped likeness of Rachel – that will be part of the Donate Life Float in the 126th Rose Parade on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, Calif. “I don’t know what it feels like for a person who loses a child

He was booked last Friday morning into the Maleng Regional Justice Center, where he is to be arraigned at 9 a.m., Dec. 1 in courtroom GA. His bail is $750,000. Here, according to the Determination of Probable Cause (DPC) prepared by the Auburn Police Department, is what happened: On Oct. 25 at 1:59 a.m., Valley Com dispatched Auburn Police officers to the 3700 block of Auburn Way South in response to multiple reports of a car into a tree.

She had just dropped Rachel off with friends when she got a phone call. “One of her good friends had called me and said that she got hit,” Givens said. “And that’s all they said. So I was, ‘What do you mean got hit? I just left her 10 minutes ago.’” The friend didn’t have With the completed floragraph of Rachel any details, but Givens Givens is, from left, Berne Givens, Rachel’s aunt, knew that Rachel was on Laura, Rachel’s mother, and Laura’s partner, Robert her had been to the Log Cline.

DPC, was a white Nissan facing northwest in an embankment on the north side of Auburn Way South, with “total catastrophic damage” to its interior and undercarriage. Only the driver’s seat had been spared. According to the DPC, the violence of the collision had uprooted a tree 18 inches in diameter that was lying on the ground. The vehicle had also knocked over three power boxes and dislodged two guy wires stabilizing a power pole. According to the DPC, the front end of the vehicle was separated from the trunk, with only the driver’s door lock holding the two pieces together. The vehicle’s entire interior flooring had broken apart. Bodies lay scattered on the ground. The officer found Anderson sitting on the ground amongst the bodies. According to the DPC, the officer caught a strong odor
of intoxicants on Anderson and found his speech slurred and appeared impaired. Medics performed a blood draw. According to the DPC, Anderson admitted to the officer during a post-Miranda interview that he had taken the Nissan from his roommate that evening and driven to Enumclaw to pick up Stone because she had called him for a ride, possibly to her mother’s house in Auburn. According to the DPC, at that point he said that he remembered nothing else and did not want to talk to the officer any more. According to charging papers, Anderson is a repeat DUI offender and a convicted felon. His history in Washington lists malicious mischief and reckless driving. Elsewhere his history lists a DUI in Eugene, Ore., a habitual traffic offender-moving violation in Ocala, Fla., and a DV arrest in Mobile, Ala.
away something was wrong. “It was like the movies where the mother runs up to the scene. There are police all around, and you’re telling them your daughter is in there,” Givens said. “And they let you through. And I was looking for her, looking for a car that flipped, anything else. Then you see your daughter on the ground with five EMTs working on her.” Rachel was transported to Tacoma General Hospital in critical condition and died two days later. The driver of the vehicle – a small dark sedan or sports car heading north on East Valley Highway that struck Rachel – still hasn’t stepped forward, nor has anyone turned them in, despite a hefty reward for information. Givens said she doesn’t hold a grudge toward the unknown driver, nor does she need to blame anyone for closure. “I don’t need that. That person lives with what she or he has done … every day they have to live with what happened,” Givens said. “I have no hate toward them because you can’t hate.”
It’s a lesson she learned from Rachel. “She never held a grudge,” Givens said. “One word that comes to mind was humble. People didn’t know that she was a two-time state champion (on the Auburn Riverside basketball team) or that she was featured in the Seattle Times (for her all-state performance as the Ravens’ soccer goalkeeper). They just knew that Rachel was fun and nice. They didn’t know any of that.” Rachel was also generous. “Rachel’s giving nature really defined her life,” said Kevin O’Connor, CEO of LifeCenter Northwest. “The generosity exhibited in her life continues on through her organ, tissue and cornea donation. We are ever so grateful for Rachel’s gifts.” Givens has received letters from recipients of Rachel’s donations. She hopes to meet them someday. “To know that heartbeat was once in my daughter, it’s surreal,” Givens said. “If I don’t have that, at least I know that the person is living because of Rachel.”

...Pampered Pets
A dog? For Christmas? Do some work Family Dog Training Center
Your child – or significant other – is already hinting about a puppy, or dog, for Christmas. Good idea or not? The quick answer: Probably not. Adding a pet to the family is a serious commitment, one that requires much consideration, discussion, research and planning. Dogs are not like computers
Holiday proofing your (dog) house BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center
Everyone with pets has humorous, and horrific, holiday stories to share. My first puppy was given way too much freedom. In one of his more active moments he managed to run through the living room, get tangled in the Christmas tree lights and topple the evergreen. That taught me to barricade or elevate the tree when there are
or gadgets that you choose based on looks or features, and discard when the next model comes out or your needs change. Dogs are a lifetime commitment. If your entire family is eagerly looking forward to a four-legged addition, and everyone is ready to help with housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, exercise, obedience training, household manners, poop patrol, veterinary
puppies in the house. The following year my now year-older German Shepherd managed to reach over the barricade surrounding the tree and eat his fill of candy canes hanging from the branches he could reach. Fortunately, he discarded the metal hangers. That taught me never to decorate with edible ornaments and to reconsider leaving an adolescent dog loose in the house while I was at work.

returned to their breeders or dropped off at shelters because their caregivers did not honestly evaluate their readiness for a canine companion, and this happens more frequently during the holidays. Do your research, both online and in person. If your family is truly ready to add a dog in December, plan for a long weekend or a week of vacation when your house is quiet. This will make the transition as easy as possible. Many breeders encourage their prospective puppy owners to wait until after the holidays to bring their new bundle of joy home.

The dream is still alive for David Paulson Ten weeks after being cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers – the team that drafted him with the 240th pick in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft – the Renton-born tight end, who played at Auburn Riverside High and the University of Oregon, signed with the San Diego Charger practice squad. “After I worked out, they told they were going to pick me up,” Paulson said. “I’m glad.

For the 25-year-old Paulson, who was cut after two seasons in Pittsburgh, playing for the Chargers is also another opportunity to learn from a veteran player, this time All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates. “It’s real fun to watch the things he does,” Paulson said. “He plays at such a high level.” Paulson said it’s similar to his situation in Pittsburgh, where he played behind All-Pro tight end Heath Miller and backup Matt Spaeth “I learned a ton in Pittsburgh,” Paulson said. “Heath Miller is a great tight end, and so is Matt Spaeth.

Rainier Plateau Junior Rugby club seeks players sskager@auburn-reporter.com
The Rainier Plateau Junior Rugby club is seeking female and male players for its spring session. According to club spokesperson Andy Ramsay, the club looks to fill rosters on all of its teams, including U19, U17, U15 and the new U13 squads. “The new season will commence in mid-January with a week of prospective player camps intended to offer a free-of-charge opportunity for boys and girls who may have an interest in finding out if they feel this is a sport they would like to participate in,”
Ramsay said, adding there was no commitment after the camps were over. Once the regular season begins, team members can sign up, with practices taking place twice a week in the evenings at local high schools, including Auburn and Sumner. “This schedule allows students to continue their commitments to other after school sports or club activities,” Ramsay said. “Students currently involved in wrestling, basketball and other winter sports will be welcomed after those seasons conclude in February.” Ramsay continued: “The rugby matches will

commence in late February with the boys playing on Saturdays and girls on Sunday afternoons,” he said. “The season ends in early May with some byes around spring break. The girls team will be traveling to Vancouver Island, Canada for a two-game tour in April and will also be hosting teams from Oregon and Canada. The U17 and U19 boys team will have the opportunity to travel to Oregon to an annual preseason tournament.” The club will also offer a summer season, which last year produced the boys and girls U15 Washington State runner-ups.
The club hosts a series of informational sessions for prospective players and their children in December. For schedule and more information, visit the program’s website at www.rainierjuniorrugby.com, or at its Facebook page at RainierRFC. “Rugby is a very inexpensive sport to play compared to other youth sports, which require extensive personal equipment and uniforms,” Ramsay said. “With rugby, the only real necessity is a pair of soccer or football cleats.” Ramsay said aid and reduced fees were available for financially-challenged players.

“(I’m better at) everything. The mental part especially, I really understand football better the longer I’m at this level,” Paulson said. “I’m trying to improve my blocking the most. I think I’m a lot better than I was, but I’m still not 100 percent.” Despite getting another chance at cracking an NFL roster, Paulson said the time off forced him to begin thinking about what’s next. “I think about what I’m going to do when it’s over,” he said. “It’s hard because I’ve been doing football so long, so I want to stay
involved because I love it. But also I want to try something new. I’ve got a business degree, a masters in business. So maybe combining sports and the degree would be nice. But I’ve never had to have a real job, so I think about it a lot.” Paulson starred in high school for the Ravens, where he played quarterback his senior year, and shined at Oregon, where he finished his career with 67 receptions with 1,041 yards and 10 touchdowns and was an SI.com All-American honorable-mention performer.

Auburn fighter responds with unanimous decision
Kelly wins finale; Shane takes title
BY RICHARD BAKER
FOR THE REPORTER
for the Auburn Reporter
After suffering his first defeat in an ESPN2-televised bout at Shelton’s Little Creek Casino on July 11, Auburn’s Mike Gavronski returned to the ring on Nov. 15 with fists burning. The 163-pound Gavronski (151-1, with 10 knockouts) scored a unanimous decision over Houston’s Gerardo Ibarra (14-2-0, 8 KOs) in the 10-round main event of the Battle of the Boat 98 fight card at Tacoma’s Emerald Queen Casino. The judges scored it 97-93, 9793, 96-94. Ibarra refused to take a backward step and did not disappoint. He was in the fight from the beginning and landed some vicious shots. His punches appeared harder than Gavronski’s, but Gavronski landed more to give him the hard-fought middleweight victory. Gavronski brought the crowd to its feet. The venue erupted in cheers after the announced victory, and Gavronski, swarmed by fans, had difficulty returning to his dressing room. Gavronski, a local favorite and a rising national star, refused to discuss his one loss to Tureano Johnson, a fight in which he won the first three rounds but then seemed to tire. The past does not concern him, only the future, a future in which his fight name,
Bonney Lake’s J. Michael Kelly and U-1 Graham Trucking captured the Oryx Cup UIM World Championship last Saturday in Doha, Qatar, the final championship heat of the H1 unlimited hydroplane racing season. Kelly shared the honor of the day with U-6 Oberto Beef Jerky driver Jimmy Shane of Covington, who placed second in the heat but reclaimed the series’ National High Point championship. It was Kelly who pulled off the move of the day. With a low-setting Arabian sun blinding the drivers in turn one, Kelly cut the corner prior to the one-minute mark to take the inside lane away from Shane in the championship final. After a great start by the entire field, Shane was the first driver into the first turn. He powered his way to the front of the pack down the backstretch. Even with a second-place finish, Shane had a big smile on his face. “Our main goals coming in here were to keep the equipment together and win the championship,” Shane 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 agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
