Signs show local economy remains on the upswing BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Single-family residential building permits, commercial building

permits, sales tax revenue – these are among the instruments the City of Auburn uses to assess the strength of its economy. Judging by these, City officials

say that as 2014 gives way to 2015, Auburn looks to be in good shape. At this time last year, singlefamily permits and commercial permits were about the same, but

sales tax revenue is up about 10 percent. With the new construction coming in 2015, City officials expect the numbers to keep rising. Here are some of the 2014 high-

lights on the commercial side of the equation that are ready to spill over into 2015. [ more ACTIVITY page 7 ]

Azrayella Montgomery didn’t eat up much clock reaching the $100 limit during the Shop With a Cop event at the Auburn Walmart last Saturday. After selecting a Monster High doll for herself, the Lea Hill Elementary School thirdgrader turned eagerly to picking out presents for her brother and her friends. “I'm always amazed at how

they want to get gifts for others over themselves,” said Terbinos Gebremariam, the Algona Police Officer assigned to help Montgomery. For the past three years, Auburn Policewoman Jody Howard has coordinated the Auburn Police Department’s and the Auburn Police Officers Association’s annual Shop with a Cop, which makes the Christmas season a little brighter [ more SHOP page 4 ]

Sen. Roach to continue leading Senate’s oversight of state-government operations FOR THE REPORTER

Sen. Pam Roach (RAuburn) has again been designated by the Senate majority to serve as chair of the Senate Government Operations and State Security Committee. The issues her committee Roach considers are elections, campaign finance, military and veterans affairs, and all state and local administrative issues. “I will continue to focus on open and accountable government,” Roach said. “People want fair, open, and responsive governance for the tax dollars they pay.

WHAT’S ON YOUR LIST? Kaylee, 9, and Evan Walker, 5, tell Santa what they want for Christmas during the Breakfast with Santa event at the Auburn Senior Activity Center last week. Guests, young and old, were treated to breakfast, crafts and live entertainment.

We all deserve that. I will continue a process that involves all citizens.” The veteran lawmaker from rural Auburn said she has a variety of issues lined up for the committee to study during the 2015 legislative session, which begins Jan. 12. “I am pleased to chair the Senate’s most voluminous committee and enjoy a broad range of responsibility,” Roach said. “This year will have the added emphasis of tribal affairs and cyber-security protections. “While I have several new areas of investigations and study for the committee, we will continue

our review of the Growth Management Act. These special projects are intended to determine whether legislative responses are needed,” Roach said. Roach has already led two committee hearings on land use. One discussed the Growth Management Act as applied to master planned developments in Black Diamond. The other reviewed the Shoreline Management Act and sought to defend the rights of property owners along Lake Tapps and other water bodies in the state. The Legislature has not revisited development laws that restrict how property owners may use their land since they were passed in 1990s.

Christmas is time of joy and many zippy yippees, except for boy-men who have to buy gifts for their wives or girlfriends. The solution for this Christmas conundrum has arrived – from me. I have decided to give the hapless males of the world my time-honored wisdom on buying the perfect package to express those queasy things inside that men never say out loud because all the words start with “F” and that is not allowed (except for exceptions). Let me begin with a few “do not” pointers. • Do not buy anything incredibly cool like cordless drills with every attachment known to humanity and speeds from slow to faster than “Space Balls” fast. The excuse, “Honeybunch, I will hang the new medicine cabinet that has been sitting in the bathroom for seven years.” • Do not buy a pneumatic nail gun and compressor set with three guns and extra hose. The excuse, “Sweetiepie, this will also work as a home protection device. If an evildoer comes near the house, I will shoot framing nails at him. And think of all the great storage boxes I can build for all your useless junk.” The above “do not” tips are examples of near-death Christmas morning experiences. A good rule of thumb is, if it seems like a great gift and really fun – run away. Because I have earned the self-appointed title, “Most Sensitive Male-like Creature,” I will pass my danger-dodging advice to the bucko dummies of the world. What follows is the formula for Christmas harmony and balance. • A real treasure your special girly will love is an eight-track cassette player. These are top Christmas gifts and are sure to show your true inside things we don’t say out loud because the word starts with “F”. • To go along with your tape player,

Obama’s divisive agenda President Obama, in one of the greatest unconstitutional power grabs in history, is giving amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens. What he didn’t say was that this wasn’t just about amnesty, but also giving food stamps, medical care, housing and a myriad of other free services not accorded to our own citizens. It is not only unconstitutional but unconscionable. Also, Obama convened a conference to hear words from on high from his lame duck Attorney General, Eric Holder. What Holder got out of the riots and looting in Ferguson was that the police do too much racial profiling. As a result he wants body cameras for all law enforcement. OK. A body camera would have backed up Officer Darren Wilson’s story. What about the riots after? Why wasn’t it mentioned that the looting is unacceptable? Not a peep,

FOR THE REPORTER

Tribes are doing everything from taking over the operation of some state hatcheries to buying fish food and making donations of cash and labor to keep up production at other state facilities. That is in addition to the 40 million salmon and steelhead produced annually at tribal hatcheries. Meanwhile, wild salmon populations continue to decline because of the ongoing loss of habitat that state government is unable to stop. The loss of wild salmon and their habitat has already severely restricted the tribes’ abilities to exercise our treaty-reserved fishing rights. Additional state budget cuts would only worsen the situation. Budget problems do not excuse the state from its obligations to follow federal law and uphold commitments made by the United States in treaties with Indian tribes. Our treaties and the court decisions that upheld them are considered the “supreme law of the land” under the U.S.

Constitution. As salmon co-manager with the tribes, the state of Washington does not have the option of turning its back and walking away. Hatchery programs are especially important to fulfilling the treaty right that salmon must be available for tribes to harvest. Without hatcheries and the fish they provide, there would be no fishing at all by anyone in western Washington. We must have hatcheries for as long as natural salmon production continues to be limited by poor habitat. Further cuts to WDFW’s budget would be another step backward in our efforts to save the salmon. Gov. Inslee should look someplace else for the funding that the state needs. He should not try to balance the state budget on the backs of the fish and wildlife resources and the people who depend on them.

DOC TALK

Q: I have heard conflicting advice on when to start getting mammograms. Should I start at age 40 or 50? A: Age 40, and here are two reasons why: First, look at the graph: Notice the slope of the line is relatively constant from age 40 to 75. Nothing magical happens at 50 – the magic happens at age 40. That is where the incidence of breast cancer begins to climb at a steady rate for women in the United States. That is why we pick 40. Second, there is a ton of scientific evidence that the types of breast cancers women get in their 40s are much more aggressive, so catching them early is even more important. Plus these women have many more productive and valuable years to live. They are the cornerstone of their families. They want

more. Is this true? Answer: I recommend that a woman look at her overall picture of health. If she is in good health and has favorable prospects for the next 10 years, then it makes sense to continue getting mammograms. Many women live well until 85 or 90 these days, and that is why I don’t like applying the age 75 [ more ULISSEY page 16 ]

White River–Lake Tapps

Project Update December 2014

Cascade Water Alliance announces that its major rehabilitation activities along the entire White River–Lake Tapps project to update, improve, and enhance the system are underway and ahead of schedule. Cascade purchased the century-old 48,258 acre feet Lake Tapps from Puget Sound Energy five years ago for use as an eventual municipal water supply. During that time, Cascade has made significant improvements to enhance reliability and safety. This summer, Cascade began an overhaul of the entire system, eventually bringing the lake down to elevation 500 feet above sea level to perform critical tasks including: •

Sediment removal from the flowline;

•

Replace and refurbish the headgates;

•

Replace the last remaining sections of the timber flume (2,300 feet) with a concrete flume;

•

Dike 3 seismic improvements and stopping seepage;

•

Inspect and repair the tunnel intake/tunnel/forebay/ penstocks; and

•

Inspect and repair the powerhouse relief valves.

An assessment is being done of the lower conveyance system that brings water from the lake to the powerhouse below on East Valley Highway and back into the White River. Once that assessment is complete, necessary improvements can be made. The lake then will be refilled in time for summer recreation. For a look at the projects that are underway and that have been completed, as well as the latest information and lake levels, visit

www.cascadewater.org

Cascade appreciates the patience and understanding of the community during this time. With the progress Cascade is making it appears that the lake may be refilled on a fairly normal schedule this spring. Overall, this effort will result in a healthier lake that can be operated more efficiently and safely, and can be refilled with more reliability each spring. Normal refill is between 541.5 and 543 feet. With these improvements Lake Tapps will have stable recreational levels for the next 30 years.

The White Riverâ€“Lake Tapps improvement projects are underway, and the lake has reached historic low levels to allow Cascade to inspect, assess, and fix all conveyances and systems. The lake bed is visible and in many instances accessible. Cascade owns the lake bed and, while the public is allowed to recreate on the waters of Lake Tapps, the public is not allowed on the lake bed for any reason. Anyone on the lake bed is trespassing. Access to the lake bed on foot, with allterrain and other vehicles is strictly prohibited. Pierce County Sheriff and Bonney Lake Police officers will be patrolling to enforce against trespassing occurrences. The lake bed may have areas of instability, stumps and other protrusions, and soft areas where individuals and vehicles might be injured or become stuck. Parents should advise their children to stay out of the lake bed. In an emergency, call 911.

No Trespassing!

THE AUBURN FOOD BANK

[ ULISSEY from page 10 ] recommendation arbitrarily to every woman. If a woman in good health at age 78 gets breast cancer, we can still catch it early and make the treatment a speed bump in that woman’s life, instead of a major disaster. She can go on to live another 10 or 15 quality years. But likewise, if at age 75 (or any age) an individual woman has multiple medical problems, poor health, does not get around well, then yes, chat with your doctor and discuss the idea of stopping your annual mammogram. Even if you do get breast cancer in a few years, you are more likely to die with it, rather than from it.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

Speaking to a packed gymnasium, Shelton – a 6-foot-2, 332-pound defensive lineman, who is projected to be snatched up in the first-round of the 2015 NFL Draft - thanked God, his family and faculty for helping him realize his football and academic dreams. To honor Shelton, Auburn High School retired the number 71 jersey, his number during his prep years. Earlier this month, the College Sports Information Directors of America named Shelton to its Academic All-American first team, making him the only Pac-12 player to make the 24 player team and the first Husky to be named to the exclusive group ever since Ed Cunningham earned the honor way back in 1991.
