Plans for center moving ahead
GOVERNOR VISITS
BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
In 2014, the City of Auburn scrapped its original plan to build a community center at the south end of the Les Gove Community campus when the project threatened to exceed its
budget. Now the City is moving full speed ahead on its less pricey alternative at the north end, adjacent to the Activities Center – a community and youth center that will serve generations. No longer a prospect, this one
is going to happen. On Monday evening, City Councilmembers got an update from Stan Lokting, principal of ARC Architects, whose firm is designing the $9 million Auburn Community and Youth Center. [ more CENTER page 3 ]

Auburn center helping more people find work BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
During a class at Auburn’s WorkSource Center late Tuesday afternoon, “Steven” laid out for the guest interviewer what it had been like looking for work over the past three weeks. And the positive experience he’s had working with one of the center’s veteran representatives who has connected him with area employers looking for veterans like Steven with skills transferrable to a job position. Though, so far, no luck. “That’s why I’m in the class because I’ve been out of the civilian

I am in this class so I can learn how to get into the interview process because this is all new to me.” How are things different, the man wanted to know? “… Sir, the military way is very cut and dry. They look at how you compose yourself, but in these job interviews it’s a completely different type thing because I am not moving forward from a job I am already in.” His interviewer, who happened to be Gov.

Zones reaches community through heart of a girl BY JULIE LINN For the Auburn Reporter
One recent afternoon, Braylynn Palmer was diligently cleaning crusty pizza sauce off the laminated cardboard pages of a Disney Princess book. Her boisterous personality and sharp replies to questions would
never suggest that at four years of age, she had already had four openheart surgeries. But the pale, pink line peeking out of her “Frozen” T-shirt was the flesh-and-blood attestation to the trials that have already tested her young life. Braylynn was born with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, a life-threatening condition in which one side of a heart
fails to develop. Doctors informed Crystal Palmer, Braylynn’s mother, about the condition during her pregnancy and suggested an abortion. For religious reasons, and because of the difficulty she’d had conceiving, Palmer said no, and carried Braylynn to term. [ more ZONES page 4 ]

[2] February 27, 2015 the state to make up for [ VISIT from page 1 ] Auburn, laid out his own plans to shake things up in Olympia to improve the prospects of Steven and others looking for work in of the toughest job markets in decades. “We’re trying to grow more jobs in this state, build more airplanes and create an environment in which all kinds of businesses can grow,” Inslee said. “We want an economy that works for everybody, no matter where they are in the economic sphere. And we’ve got some work to do on that.” Inslee said that he looked forward to working with legislators during the coming months to improve prospects for job seekers and working people alike. Such as working to increase the minimum wage, so that if a person has a job, he said, that person can at least keep a roof over his or her head. And working toward making the Working Family Tax Credit a reality, so people at the lower end of the income scale could get something of a refund from

some of the economic hardships they’d been suffering. He said he would continue to work on health care reform to ensure that everybody has access to health insurance. And he would try to find an alternative to paying for schools so that the tax burden does not fall so heavily on working people but on those who are in a better position to pay it. That solution includes increasing taxes on polluting industries. Inslee asked if anyone in the room had enrolled in any colleges or technical schools. One woman said she had graduated from EWU in 2013 with a degree in economics, but told Inslee she was struggling to find work. “The most important thing for me is just finding something that is going to fit with my degree or work into something in the field I have my degree in. Because going directly into economics is not as feasible as taking a stepping stone from an office position toward that field,” the woman said.
SPECIAL NIGHT Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation presented the popular Daddy Daughter Date Night – for two evenings, last Friday and Saturday – at the Auburn Senior Activity Center. Above, Tom Hammond swings with his daughter Lily, 5. Left, Derek Martinson dances with his daughter, Morgan, 8. The event, designed for girls ages 4-10 years old, is an opportunity for fathers, grandfathers, uncles or big brothers to take their special little girl out for a night of music, dancing, food and laughter.

Corps starts spring fill of Hanson Dam
[ CENTER from page 1 ] “This is a firm budget,” Assistant City Engineer Jacob Sweeting assured the council. “All of the decisions that we’ve made during the conceptual design phase have kept the schedule and budget in line and within those constraints.” That $9 million breaks down into a $3 million appropriation from the state Legislature and $6 million in City funds. The $3 million appropriation has to be committed to the project by June 30, or the state takes it back. At 30-percent complete, early design drawings show a total of 21,000 square feet of space devoted to educational, cultural and social activities, offering broad views on Les Gove Park. Taking up 7,300 square feet, the youth center will be created out of the existing Parks, Arts and Recreation administration building. It will offer an arts classroom; a computer lab; youth center staff offices; room for structured programs like dancing and spoken-word events; a dedicated computer lab; an art room; and room for informal activities such as gatherings, games, tutoring and socializing. The 13,700-square-foot community center will be built from the ground up. Its heart will be a 3,500-square-foot multi-purpose room, offering enough space for 200-275 people and dividable into three rooms. What the City hopes to achieve with the community center is to provide opportunities for public and private events; classes; a fitness room with cardio and resistance machines; city-wide celebrations; stor-
FOR THE REPORTER
Water managers have begun slowly filling the reservoir at Howard Hanson Dam at the headwaters of the Green River. As is typical, the Army Corps of Engineers slowly begins the annual spring fill of the reservoir in late February, allowing water levels to rise within the Hanson Dam’s reservoir. The dam helps protect the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila from flooding. The process takes roughly three months to refill the reservoir. The current plan targets a maximum pool elevation of 1,167 feet above sea level. A 1,167 - foot elevation pool has been the spring refill target since 2007. Water stored during the spring refill of the reservoir is used to provide water to the City of Tacoma and its water supply partners. Additionally, at least threefifths of the reservoir’s supply is used to augment downstream flows to help endangered fish species.
The schematic design floor plan for the Auburn Community Center and Youth Center features plenty of space, 21,000 square feet, for many uses. COURTESY DRAWING, ARC Architects age; offices; and work areas for Parks, Arts and Rec administrative staff. Shared spaces between the buildings include a lobby, some outdoor gathering areas and a teaching and warming kitchen, which the project realizes by renovating and expanding the kitchen. Lokting said his team took what it learned from earlier meetings with the City Council, with the Junior City Council and with neighbors and community representatives then folded what it learned into several principles that will guide the design. One of those principles calls for the preservation of open space, meaning that the project’s footprint must not encroach into the open area to the east of the existing buildings. A second principle calls for connections to the park, so that when people first come onto the site they
have a primary gathering place and a point of connection between access to the community and youth center and access to the park. Early plans show 69 parking spaces adjacent to the center and generous buffering to shield the surrounding neighborhood from the project. Design work began in November 2014 and should be complete by June, at which time the City expects to put the project out to bid. It plans to award the contract in August, finish construction in June 2016 in time for Kids Day and open in August 2016. “I’m impressed,” Councilmember Yolanda Trout said at the end of the presentation, echoing what her peers were saying. “I like all the windows and the lighting. I think we’re going to have a nice center.”

[ ZONES from page 1 ] Later, aware of the risks it might pose to her heart condition, doctors referred the little girl to the MakeA-Wish Foundation, which helps make dreams come true for children with serious medical conditions. With help from mom and influenced by television advertisements, Braylynn made up her mind — she wanted to go to Disney World. As she and her family moved from Arizona to Oklahoma and finally to Washington, where her father, Rick Wielebski, got a job in the Seattle area, her wish followed her. Soon after the move, Make-a-Wish Alaska and Washington contacted the family, telling them that a local business – Auburnbased Zones, Inc. – was interested in adopting Braylynn’s wish. Zones, founded in 1986, is a national provider of IT products, solutions and services that self-reports $1 billion in annual revenue. The company employs about 1,000 people, 600 of them in Auburn. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Zones ranked No. 10 in employers of Auburn in 2014. Few Auburn residents know much about Zones. But by investing in the community in a number of ways, the company is determined to change that.
Theft: 6 p.m., 400 block of 16th Street Northeast. A woman left her cellphone on the roof of her car while she was eating and somebody stole the device.

Cathie Fowler, Zones vice president of marketing, recently disclosed a number of the company’s charitable contributions, the most popular of which are to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. With Zones employees’ donations from its offices in the U.S., the company has been able to raise about $10,000, doubling the amount needed to make Braylynn’s wish come true. Money raised beyond that sum allows for a second wish to be adopted. In addition to its MakeA-Wish contributions, Zones donates to the American Cancer Society, Wounded Warrior, the Auburn Food Bank, and Auburn Youth Resources. “Our employees have embraced a lot of excitement over giving back to the community,” Fowler said. Despite its success as a business and its contributions to several charities, Zones’ reputation as a feasible local employer is only now starting to spread. Doug Lein, manager of the City of Auburn’s Office of Economic Development, attributes the company’s heightened interest in the community to its new president and CEO, Murray Wright, who joined Zones in 2013. “Companies in strong growth patterns, like Zones, tend to forget about the rest of the world and focus on themselves,” Lein said. “I

Zones employees) need customized training, and we want to try to deliver that.” Lein said local labor sourcing will also reinvest in the local economy. Simply having more locals earning competitive wages “make(s) a big impact on the local retail economy,” Lein said. The bigger picture is that Zones, as a business, reinvests in Auburn’s local workforce and economy. The company, however, has already shown how much it values people. When Zones adopted her daughter’s wish, Crystal Palmer said, she felt the community embrace her. “Crystal’s exposure to Seattle has been a stressful move and a stressful situation with Braylynn,” Wielebski said. “And only a few months after that (was) Braylynn’s surgery. With stress at its highest level, this company reaches out to us and does so much.” On Oct. 12, 2014, Braylynn had her fourth, and hopefully last, procedure. Her doctors say it usually takes at least a month to recover. Braylynn only needed two weeks. The probability of surviving the procedures is not high, but she has beaten those odds, too. “She’s insanely strong and stubborn as heck,” Palmer said. Braylynn recently started dance classes and can now keep up with her older brother, Isaiah. In April, it’s on to Disney World. And when she returns, Zones is going to throw her a party.
think that’s what happened with the original president and owner; he was a very private man. (Wright is) the first outsider. He’s more aggressive and sees value in connectivity (with the community).” Lein noted that until recently, Zones had a history of importing labor to meet its needs in Auburn. Now the company wants to cultivate local talent to fill those positions. Not only would that create jobs locally but it would also supply the company with employees having stakes in the community, who are therefore invested in longterm commitments. Lori Stewart, Zones vice president of human resources, said the company wants to hire people who are interested in sales. Degrees are still valued, but the emphasis now is on finding people combining interpersonal relationship and customer support skills. The City’s Office of Economic Development recently started collaborating with Green River College to create a short-term sales certificate program, helping locals get a foot in Zones’ door. According to Josh Clearman, dean of the Technology and Trades Division at Green River, the program prepares students to work for an Auburn business in general even as it provides specialized training favorable for employment at Zones. “We want to be responsive to industry,” Clearman said. “It’s clear (potential

Increase in oil trains poses a risk to our valley My bedroom window overlooks the Auburn/Kent Valley where the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail yard is sited. I often hear the trains switching at night. If you’ve ever heard a mile-long train change direction, you’d remember the sound: a long, low boom. I’m worried that one day soon, I might hear an even bigger boom, like the one that blasted the West Virginia town of Mount Carbon a couple of weeks ago. What’s more, over the past month, an explosion occurred at an oil refinery in California, an oil train derailed in Ontario, Canada, and no fewer than four oil spills were reported in North Dakota. All these events should remind us of the derailment and explosion of an oil train in Canada in 2013 that tragically killed 47 people. A disaster like that can happen right here in Auburn if we don’t take action now. More trains mean greater risk. The Bakken oil rush has increased the number of carloads of oil to 435,000 per year in 2013. That’s 45 times the number of oil-by-rail tank cars moved in 2008. The oil companies are not removing highly explosive gases such as ethane, propane and butane before shipping the oil in rail cars, making these tankers, even the newer CPC-1232 tankers that were involved in all three of the most recent derailments, nothing more than rolling bombs that pass through our cities near our homes, schools, hospitals and businesses. The Interurban Trail runs through Auburn next to the rail lines. When I ride my bike there, I’ve often seen a dad teaching his daughter to ride. The increased risk of the little girl getting asthma or cancer from diesel fumes aside, if there were an explosion, in whose ledger would her death be an [ more MY TURN page 7 ]

Trying to make the presidential primary worthwhile It is Washington’s quadrennial quandary. Every four years, the conversation starts anew on how to make this state’s presidential primary meaningful in the process of electing the nation’s next leader. And should an election even be held if it can’t be done? Conducting
a primary in 2016 will cost taxpayers an estimated $11.5 million. The predicament is that voters desire one thing and the Democratic and Republican parties want something else, leaving the state’s chief election officer to bring the opposing forces together.

Let’s teach people how to succeed in life so they can provide for themselves, and not rely on Uncle Sam, who is already in debt over his head. Here’s a solution: Solve basic problem vs. free community college. 1. Many young people are trapped in their environment. They have no tools, motivation, nor resources to help them succeed in life, and have no self-esteem. We need to fix that first. 2. Gather the brightest experts in education who have developed programs in and out of the classroom who believe in young people and figured out how to motivate them to accomplish something.

More than 200,000 people signed an Initiative to the Legislature calling for a presidential primary to give voice to a far greater number of the state’s voters. In theory, candidates would take note of this new primary and make sure the trail of their campaign passed through Washington. [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ MY TURN from page 5 ] acceptable loss? Balanced against what? A few dozen jobs at an oil terminal? Oil company profits? Adjacent to the bike trail is a new Environmental Park. We’re trying to reclaim and restore wetlands damaged by excessive and poorly planned development in the valley. If tar sands oil spills into those wetlands, habitat for birds and fish will be irreparably damaged. Heavy tar sands oil (diluted bitumen, or dilbit) is as thick as peanut butter; dilbit sinks in water and cannot be completely cleaned up. A healthy ecosystem and beautiful lakes and rivers bring tourists and business to Washington State. Oil transport puts all that at risk. We can’t let multinational oil giants use Washington state as a doormat. They want
to run roughshod over us in the name of profit, selling dirty fossil fuels to China and the rest of Asia. Fossil fuels that modern climate science tells us are best left where they are: in the ground. The Oil Transportation Safety Bill (HB 1449) is making its way through the state Legislature. The bill won’t stop the trains and the tankers, but it would supply our towns and cities with the information they need (and the Auburn City Council has asked for) while training our first responders so that they are better prepared for a disaster. Financial responsibility for spills and infrastructure improvements must be assumed by the companies shipping these highly explosive and toxic fuels; taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the damage of an explosion or a spill. The bill ensures that
[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ]
shippers are adequately insured and increases the barrel tax on oil shipments to pay for preparation and training. Our firefighters and other first responders agree: HB 1449 is the LEAST we can do to make our communities safer. Please call or write to your state senator and tell them, “Protect your constituents, not oil company profits. Pass the Oil Transportation Safety Bill (HB 1449).” The legislative hotline is 1 (800) 562-6000. To comment on the bill visit: app.leg. wa.gov/pbc/bill/1449
It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four leading presidential candidates – Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley – campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations. But for the most part it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely. That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At this point that’s what it will do in 2016. The Republican Party, meanwhile, has allotted half its delegates based on the primary-election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016. Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office with a plan for dealing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running. She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super Tuesday binge of contests.

FUNDRAISER: The Sumner High School ASB hosts a benefit dinner and auction at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at Bonney Lake High School, 10920 199th Ave. Court E.

Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percentage delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats are not, yet. An earlier primary could lure the Democratic Party to sign on because that could give Washington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates. “The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” Wyman said Tuesday. If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick-a-party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates. If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 million. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presidential primary to mean something. This election is too important.”

William “Bill” Julian, an Auburn High School graduate, recently took the title of RQC’s No. 1 Volkswagen Mechanic in the U.S. RQC is an annual Volkswagen challenge open to employees in VW dealerships throughout the United States and the globe. Julian, a service technician at Randall Reed Volkswagen of McKinney, Texas, will represent the U.S. in an international competition at a Volkswagen factory in Germany. Julian, who follows in his father’s footsteps as a service technician, began working on vehicles as soon as he could reach the engine. His love of cars has never stopped. At the young age of 20, he found his true calling as a Volkswagen service technician at Carter Volkswagen in Seattle. In 2012, he moved to Texas and joined the
Randall Reed Volkswagen of McKinney team. “We are incredibly proud to have Bill as part of our world-class family,” said Randall Reed, owner of the VW dealership in Texas.

Auburn’s Sam Lindsey, Mario Luevano grab state wrestling titles sskager@yahoo.com
Auburn and Auburn Mountainview battled to top-10 team finishes at this past weekend’s Mat Classic XXVIII state 3A wrestling championships at the Tacoma Dome. The Trojans, keyed by state title winners Sam Lindsey at 182 pounds and Mario Luevano at 220, earned a fifth-place finish with 78 points. Lindsey, a senior who placed sixth at 195 pounds last year, had no trouble working his way through the 182-pound bracket this year, knocking off Kennewick sophomore Ronny Loomis with a fall at 1 minute, 3 seconds in the first round, and blasting Stanwood senior Anthony Ortega 9-1 in the second round. In the quarterfinals, Lindsey powered past Shadle Park senior Kyle Vinson 8-1, setting up the title match with a South Puget Sound League 3A foe, Peninsula’s Luke Holsinger. “It feels pretty good (getting to the finals), though, but you can’t think of it like that,” Lindsey said. “It’s just another match. At this point, I’m just kind of wrestling so I can win, and the ref can’t beat me.” In the title match, Lindsay

“I wasn’t expecting there to be much competition because I was always told high school was easier than club,” Porter told The Olympian. “However, there was some pretty good girls here, and it made me work for what I wanted. It was a good thing. It didn’t make me seem like I was better than everybody, and I wanted to have somebody to compete against. That was exactly what I got.” Sammamish’s Nykaela Dodson finished first in the all-around with a 38.125. In the individual event competitions,

Alfred Earl Ellison
Alfred Earl Ellison was born in Minneapolis, MN on January 5, 1926. His family moved to Noonan, ND during the dust bowl years and as the oldest boy, at age 14 he took care of the family farm while his father went back to Minnesota to work. He joined the Navy near the end of WWII as a “radar man” on a wooden-hulled mine-sweeper, cleaning up harbors throughout the Pacific. Alfred attended Minot State Teachers College and the University of Montana. He married Rose Evon Wissbrod on July 25, 1948 and they moved to Coos Bay, OR where he started working for Weyerhaeuser and began raising a family. They later moved to Longview, WA and eventually to Auburn, WA in 1968, still working for Weyerhaeuser. He left them in 1977 and ran two equipment rental stores in Federal Way and Bonnie Lake until his retirement in 1996. Al moved to San Juan Island in the Spring of 2011 to be near family and made his home at the Village at the Harbour up until his death on February 20, 2015. He is preceded in death by his wife Rose, grandson Drew and by his son Leif. He is survived by sons Roger (Anita) of Friday Harbor, WA, Guy (Brenda) of Lake Tapps, Wa., Eric of Friday Harbor and grandchildren, Bjorn (Ethel), Clare (Tony), James (Niki), Bree and seven great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind a sister, Arlene and three brothers, Engvald, Robert, and Dale, and many nieces and nephews. Outgoing and gregarious, Alfred made friends wherever he went. He loved to travel and dreamt of returning to Norway, land of his fore-fathers on another cruise like the one he and Rose took. They were snowbirds for years, meeting up with family from North Dakota in Arizona each winter. Alfred was proud of his 300 bowling score, and his holes in one in golf. He had a big heart which at last, gave out. Please post remembrances at http://www.evanschapel. com/fh/obituaries/home.cfm?&fh_id=13141 1256007
