Street conditions take a down turn in SOS report BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Pavement conditions of local streets are showing deterioration despite 10 years of efforts under Auburn’s Save Our Streets Program. That information is contained in “Save Our Streets, 2014 Year End Report,” compiled by the City’s engineering department and released this month. Street Systems Engineer Jai Carter explained to the Auburn City Council on Monday how that happened as he presented the latest pavement data available for local streets

Woman’s poetry branches out in ‘Tree Talk’ book BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
In the late spring of 2014, a publisher, editor and fellow poet tasked her friend, Cindy Hutchings, as follows: write a poem to a tree, every day for a month or so. Warming to her assignment, Hutchings picked a cedar across the street from her house in Auburn. And between June and July of 2014 she wrote 38 poems to that one tree, adding four more in January and one dedicated to her dad. Forty-two poems to the same tree? Hmmm … “I tried to work double meanings into them,” Hutchings explained this week with a laugh. Now Hutchings has released [ more POET page 7 ]

vis-a-vis the street preservation program. Carter explained what happened. “We had a pavement rating system called Streetsaver that we used for several years, and we used data points that we collected in 2006 and 2008 for annexed areas where we rated pavement throughout the whole city. In 2013 the City had another pavement rating company come on board, and it used a newer piece of software to manage the whole system,” Carter said. That software, Carter said, gave the City one
time to promote, encourage and support art and local artists. It hosts visual art shows and offers art classes. Before its closure, the gallery was inside the Ar-

According to Guier Mayor Leanne Guier, the City and its insurance carrier recently settled with five current and former Pacific Police Officers who sued the City after the

Army veteran finds a gift for art at Green River two-dimensional pieces, but an exception was made for Bunyan’s artwork which was three-dimensional. This was the first year for the Student Veteran’s of American art competition, which was started to recognize and encourage artistic talent among post9/11 veterans. Bunyan, who served in the Army from 1988 to 2002, plans to submit entries in next year’s competition. “I am looking very much forward to the next contest this coming year,” he said. “It was very well organized.”
BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
For U.S. Army veteran Tony Bunyan, discovering a love of art has been life changing. Bunyan, 51, of Enumclaw, enrolled at Green River College last year to study art. He said his wife, Jane McElroy, inspired him to pursue his interest. “I have always been envious of her abilities to paint and draw,” Bunyan said. “I never thought I had that kind of talent.” But through his art courses, Bunyan has discovered he does have a talent. He submitted three works of art to Warpaint, an art competition sponsored by Student Veterans of America. All three pieces were among the 30 finalists, finishing fifth, sixth and seventh. There were 67 submissions in the contest. Bunyan attended the unveiling ceremony in March in Washington, D.C. He was surprised to learn his pieces had been selected as finalists. “I was ecstatic,” he said. “I was incredibly honored. My art is beautiful to me. It is a reflection of me.” But Bunyan didn’t expect others to appreciate his art in the same way. “I didn’t feel like I was truly

Although each of the three pieces Bunyan submitted are unique, they have similarities. “I chose to go with the silhouette on all three pieces,” Bunyan said. “Aftermath” has the silhouette of a little girl with flowers on green background with an American flag and wooden cross draped with dog tags for John and Jane Doe.
“Larger than Life” features the silhouette of a saluting service member against the background of an American flag. For “100 Years, 100 Headlines,” Bunyan copied New York Times headlines from 1917 to the present day on velum paper, which serves as a backdrop for a silhouette of a battle cross, which consists of a fallen service member’s boots, gun and helmet. Contest rules called for
Bunyan is grateful to his instructors at Green River for encouraging him in his art. His instructors included: Brad Dinsmore, drawing; Matt Johnson, painting; Paul Metivier, ceramics; and Patrick Navin, photography. “It would not have happened without the professors I have in the art department,” Bunyan said. “Not only did they show me things I needed to do, they taught me that I could do it.” Metivier told Bunyan about the contest and encouraged him to enter. “I strongly encouraged Tony because his art work is particular-
ly in response to his experiences as a vet,” Metivier said in an email. “It seemed like a perfect fit for the show. At that time, I had only had Tony for a couple of quarters and I could see that he was developing quickly as an artist, developing skills quickly, and his artwork seemed to be a way for him to express himself without words. “Tony is a great student because he is successful with his course work and because he is a mentor to other student vets. He really cares for those who have had like experiences in the armed forces, and this passion for helping others seems to feed into his passion for art and expressing himself through art.” Dinsmore said it was rewarding to watch Bunyan discover his love for art. “As Tony’s drawing instructor, I saw a man dedicated to learning,” Dinsmore said in an email. “He didn’t just take a drawing class, he studied it. He didn’t just want to go through the motions, or want an easy or quick result. In a way, it looks like Tony fell in love with art. And it looks like art loves him back.” Art has helped Bunyan with his post-traumatic stress disorder and other physical ailments. [ more ARTIST page 3 ]

more data point, but it was a crucial one. “The downturn in the pavement conditions we traced that back to the original program. It didn’t really do a good job of projecting the degradation of pavement over the years. And so what you have is the result of that, and a couple of other factors,” Carter said. The City established its Save Our Streets Program in 2005, but its history likely began five years earlier on the night voters throughout the state approved Initiative 695, the “$30 License Tab Initiative,” thus repealing the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax and replacing it with a flat $30 annual fee on private cars and trucks. Suddenly, the state said that it no longer had the funds it had once had to distribute to cities for local street preservation and construction. And as the City of Auburn’s local street needs began to bank up, the City found itself unable to address the problems. At its lowest point, the City had only $150,000 available for this purpose. About that time, City
Arterial streets: major streets built to support a large volume of traffic traveling to neighboring jurisdictions, to state highways and across the city. Collector streets: streets built to support a moderate amount traffic and connect neighborhoods and industrial-comercial areas to arterial streets or other areas. Local streets: intended to support a low volume of traffic and connect local homes and businesses to an arterial or collector street. More than half of Auburn’s streets are local streets. leaders began to field hot complaints from residents upset about the poor street conditions. In 2004 the Auburn City Council proposed, and voters approved, a program that allowed the City’s property tax levy to generate additional revenue to be used only for local street preservation and improvement. In the following years, Save Our Streets, or SOS, generated from $1.2 to $2.6 million. And things began to look up. In 2005, the City had about 59 miles of local streets that needed attention in one form or another, whether the local street needed reconstruction, overlay or other measures, this included streets that would be annexed in 2008.

I am feeling better about myself, more relaxed.” Getting involved in art has also encouraged him to pick up old hobbies. “All these things got me interested in playing guitar again,” he said. “That was
Since then the SOS program has improved the condition of 48 miles of city streets, though other streets in the network continue to age and deteriorate. City data show local street conditions trending up between 2004 and 2013. In 2014 alone, the City rebuilt three streets: 24th Street Southeast between M and R; K Street between East Main and 4th Street Northeast; and H Street between 17th Street Southeast and 21st Street Southeast. On Dec. 31, 2012, the practice of funding the program from property taxes ended. In 2013 the City Council earmarked sales taxes from new construction to dedicate to the program. All property taxes would henceforth be retained in the general fund.
something I lost a long time ago.” As a disabled, unemployable veteran, Bunyan is taking the classes to better himself. He enrolled in a degree program in order to use his veteran’s benefits. He plans to continue his art as a hobby and hopes to have an art studio with a ceramics kiln built in his new home in Everett, where he and his wife will be moving to be closer to their children.

Woman and her boyfriend arraigned for beating death of 3-year-old BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
An Auburn woman and her boyfriend were to have been arraigned Thursday on a charge of second-degree murder for the alleged fatal beating of the woman’s three-year-old daughter in Auburn on June 9.
The defendants, Tatiana Baker, 21, and DeMarco Jackson, 24, were scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, after this newspaper went to press. Both defendants remain in jail with bail set at $1 million. The Auburn Police Detective’s
Step siblings identified in murder-suicide BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the step siblings who died in an Auburn murder-suicide on June 7 in the 31300 block of 122nd Court Southeast in Auburn. Police say 23-year-old James Balcerak apparently shot 21-year-old Brianna Smith in the head and turned the gun on himself
The KCME said both persons died of single gunshot wounds to the head. Auburn Police said the father of one of the victims found Balcerak in the living room and Smith in a bedroom and called police. Police said the bodies had been there for some time. Smith was a cashier at Fred Meyer in Auburn and lived in the home. Balcerak lived in Kent.
Use fireworks with caution State Fire Marshal Charles M. Duffy said on Tuesday that given that 155 suspected fireworks-related fires in 2014 in Washington, it’s important to use fireworks carefully. Those fires accounted for an estimated loss of more than $320,000. When using fireworks, always remember to use the three B’s of fireworks safety, which can help prevent fires: • Be prepared: Have water nearby and put pets indoors • Be safe: Only adults should light fireworks • Be responsible: Clean up fireworks debris To learn more about fireworks ordinances in cities and counties and for other information regarding fireworks, check the fireworks safety website at www.wsp. wa.gov/fire/fireworks.htm.

“That was a big win for the City. It feels really, really good. When I first took office, I was so worried about these lawsuits and what the financial impacts would be to the City.” – Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier, on settling the last employee lawsuit from former mayor Cy Sun’s days in office.
GUEST EDITORIAL
How should community colleges respond to Charleston?
Our hearts are broken. How can words possibly respond to the ongoing butchering of precious black lives? The heartless and horrific terrorism visited upon our brothers and sisters at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., by a white supremacist invoked the historical rhetoric of lynching and the global signifiers of European imperialism. Dylann Roof is part of a movement and culture that is an integral part of the fabric, not just of America’s past but also its present. Roof ’s ideology and stated justifications reflect a virulent mix of white entitlement and resentment, male sexual anxiety, and the willingness to use obscene violence in response to Obama’s presidency and the demands for dignity and justice put forth by the profound “Black Lives Matter” grassroots social movement. Institutional racism: It is too easy to believe that racism is simply a matter of individual psychology, thereby allowing us to distance ourselves from the extreme and obvious racism of a figure like Roof while being blind to the operations and effects of structural institutional racism. The imbrication of Roof ’s values and feelings into the social, political, economic, and cultural fabric of the United States is evidenced most directly by mass incarceration, the criminalization of black youth, and pathological policing, but also by stark disparities in income, wealth, housing, employment, health, and educational access. Rather than seeking comfort and absolution by regarding ourselves as utterly outside Roof ’s racist universe, let us instead take seriously our own complicity in his violence by recognizing that his sense of entitlement, his anxieties and frustrations, and his sense of the diminished humanity of black people are an essential part of American culture and its institutions.

We can do more for our homeless Regarding the homeless in Auburn and South King County: A friend said, “First of all, what would Jesus say? He would say, ‘Come on in!’ Jesus sat and worked with those who were lowest in society – those who needed the help.” Providing stable housing, food and emotional support for people should reduce crime. The “tent city” term is misleading. The proposal, as I understand it, is not a freefor-all camp. The idea, as I understand it, is to follow the successful Nicklesville model. These communities have tiny, wooden homes and can look nice. But would Jesus care about what one’s safe shelter looks like? I believe the proposal is to have a Nicklesville-type tiny home or tent community next to a church, for some spiritual support. The Nicklesville community has rules, and everyone votes on who is allowed to be part of the community. This may be a first step toward permanent housing – it can be a staging situation. However, for some weakened by certain conditions, the wait can be several years to get even a small amount of disability insurance money to live on. A Nickleville-type tent city offers an affordable refuge and a chance at a better life.

Angered, outraged Life without parole would be too easy on the mother and boyfriend who beat the little 3-year-old girl to death. I suggest they each be tied to a post and let 100 or more angry parents each give them a hard punch. When they cry or whine, give them a second punch for whining. I have never been so outraged at an article. My heart bleeds for that poor little girl. – Dolores Nagle
Navigating our log cabin I have been a proud Auburn resident for about 49 years and in the last 10 years, a heavy user of the Post Office. I must admit I would rather drive the extra length to go to the Sumner Post Office rather than deal with the Auburn Post Office for the simplest of tasks. I look at the other Post Offices that have been built while the log cabin we call a Post Office continues to stumble along. It has been about five years since the mail drop inside the Post Office to the left has had a usable handle. Once the metal handle broke off, it went months without repair and then it was replaced with two wooden knobs that were not even installed correctly. The door binds and you can barely get it to open. The one on the right is always in service but gets overused because the great repair job never worked on the other side. The oversized rolling drum was broken for months before it was fixed. A while back, vandals and thieves broke into the drivethru box, and it was out of service for months.

[6] June 26, 2015 [ GUEST OP from page 5 ] Community college mandate: What conversations and actions are necessary at Green River College in Auburn, which is where I teach, and at the other 33 community and technical colleges in Washington state, in order to respond meaningfully to Charleston? I pose the question in this way to draw attention to ourselves as an institution and to insist that we have unique obligations as a specific sector, namely, public higher education. Higher education is the most important pathway to financial and professional advancement, which also makes it a crucial driver of economic development and community regeneration. For 50-plus years in Washington and elsewhere, community colleges, far more than public or private four-year universities, have offered open access to higher education, especially for those students who are the most marginalized and disadvantaged. The 34 Washington community and technical colleges educate approximately 400,000 students a year. Racial justice and racial equity: What must Washington community colleges do in order to acknowledge, reject and move beyond institutional racism? We must be prepared to address the role that community colleges, and other educational institutions, play
www.auburn-reporter.com in reproducing the racist practices, structures, and ideologies that are integral to American society. As publicly-funded institutions of higher education with a compelling social contract to serve our communities, community colleges can contribute to transforming society by joining the honorable fight for racial justice and racial equity. Let us begin by addressing these questions: As institutions of public higher education, what are the mechanisms of our accountability to black families and communities? How can community colleges provide for more equitable access and success for black students? How much money and political will is the system willing to devote to substantial and widespread anti-racist training along with equitable hiring practices and equitable professional advancement? How can community college faculty develop and enact anti-racist pedagogy and curriculum that gives students, the next generation of civic actors, the tools necessary to dismantle institutionalized white supremacy? Are community colleges willing to prioritize the hiring of faculty in all relevant disciplines with expertise in black studies and deep experience in black communities? Relevant disciplines for such hiring include criminal justice, history, English, sociology, fine arts, political science, education, among others.
Are we prepared to ask that some new faculty hires in all disciplines, including science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), demonstrate an understanding of the historical exclusions and current racial disparities within their fields, along with strategies and best practices for improved access, success, and equity? Are we ready to insist that some of our administrators and staff have demonstrated expertise in understanding and redressing the violence against black people? How can community colleges honor and empower the voices of black students in this work, especially through the network of black student unions? Governing for racial equity: How many black people have to be gunned down before community colleges say: “We cannot continue business as usual. We cannot just begin classes on Monday as though nothing happened.” The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) provides oversight and support for the 34 community and technical colleges, including distributing tens of millions of dollars from the state Legislature to each college. Each college has a president, and each college has a five-member board of trustees appointed by the governor’s office. Where is the leadership at each of these levels — SBCTC, college presidents, boards of trustees —
that acknowledges that responding to Charleston and racist police violence is also the responsibility of community colleges? Let us ask the leadership of Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges to adopt something like other public sectors have done, including the City of Seattle’s Race & Social Justice Initiative (RSJI) and King County’s Equity & Social Justice framework. Certainly, let each of us examine our hearts, minds and families for racial fears, privileges, anxieties, projections, hatreds, desires, antagonisms and fantasies. This is not a small exercise and would undoubtedly be a worthy effort. But as institutions of public higher education, let us examine the distribution of power, authority, money, resources and jobs, which is where institutional racism and institutional white supremacy must be diagnosed and addressed. Let us not hold vigils at our colleges. Let us not be consumed by grief and sympathy. Let us act.

ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, 800 youth or young adults are living on the streets of King County or at risk of it. More and more of those youth are people of color, who make up 54 percent of homeless youth, or LGBTQ youth, who make up 22 percent of the homeless youth population. The King County Council last week approved a motion supporting efforts to ensure that homeless youth of color and LGBTQ youth receive equal access to the services that can help them get off the streets. Today the county is part of a collaborative effort – the Homeless Youth and Young Adult (YYA) Initiative – working to prevent, and end, homelessness among young people by 2020. The motion addresses an update to that plan, calling on the agencies and governments that are part of the effort – King County, the City of Seattle, United Way of King County, and other local jurisdictions, funders, and providers – to ensure that youth of color and LGBTQ youth, who are over-represented among the homeless population, receive equal access to appropriate services. “We must continue to provide leadership and commitment to making people aware of the disproportionate impact of homelessness on LGBTQ youth and youth of color and ensure that services are available to all,” said Council Vice Chair Joe McDermott, who sponsored the motion. “Thank you to the Council and the communities who stepped forward in support of this important motion.”

James Rodgers, like Hutchings a member of Auburn’s Striped Water Poets group, originally contributed 30 black-and-white photos to the book, but later added 12 more. All of the photos in the book are his. Excited? Of course, Hutchings said. Nervous? Yeah, that too. “A little bit,” Hutchings said. “I wonder, will people like all these poems, or some of them? I have had poems published separately before, but it’s a little bit different when you have your whole collection out there. But it’s feeling pretty good, too.” Hutchings, a member of Northwest Renaissance and Striped Water Poets, finds inspiration in the outdoors. Since 1996, she has had 14 poems published

She has a degree in English and Women Studies from the University of Washington. Lana Hechtman Ayers, editor and publisher of MoonPath Press and a Striped Water Poet, thought up the assignment. Hutchings started out her assignment writing poems that followed each other. Then events in her own life and in the life beyond started to influence her work. The first poems in the book she described as “relaxing, unwindingtype poems” for after work. “One day I drove to my mother’s house along the Hood Canal. It was about mid-June, and the drive to and the drive back kind of inspired me,” Hutchings said. “I was admiring all the beautiful trees and thinking of my tree back home. After that, the poems just flowed

along with the different events that were happening that brought up things I was thinking about. “In January, (Ayers) asked me to find black-and-white photos and if (Rodgers) had any tree photography. I sent James the manuscript, and the next day he sent me 30 photos. Now there are 42 photos in the book, one paired with each poem. It’s amazing because the photos really match nicely throughout the book,” Hutchings said. Hutchings often writes poems on the train she catches every morning north to her job for a local fire department, and at home in the evening. According to its website, MoonPath Press is “dedicated to publishing the very best poetry collections by U.S. Northwest Pacific states authors – poets residing in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and extreme Northern California, north of San Francisco Bay.

any of us assume that domestic violence isn’t much of a problem. We think that it doesn’t happen in our communities or that we don’t know anyone who has been impacted by an abusive relationship. But, the numbers suggest otherwise. One in three women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. And, an average of one million people in the United States is physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year. Odds are someone you know has been impacted by domestic violence. With such a daunting problem, it can be difficult to believe that we can address the issues at hand. We aren’t all police officers, judges, hospital employees, or domestic violence advocates. But, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t all able to step in to intervene or to prevent violence in our community. It starts with acknowledgment, willingness to help, and a conversation about solutions. We can talk to our friends and family members about what healthy relationships look like. We can learn about the red flags of abusive relationships. And, in Washington State, we can contact a local domestic violence program in every community, like DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women’s Network) in South King County. Contacting a DAWN advocate is free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn more about intimate partner violence. DAWN Advocates and professionally trained volunteers are available 24/7 to talk about your concerns regarding safety and resources and to offer support. These services are available to those who are interested in supporting a family member or loved one who is experiencing abuse as well. To find support and to learn more about DAWN’s services, please visit dawnonline.org or call us at 425656-4305 or toll free at 877465-7234. We also invite you to join us on October 3rd, 2015 for DAWN’s annual Evening of Promise auction event. You can participate by volunteering, making an in-kind donation, or through sponsorship.

RISING SHATTERED SUN TO ROCK MAYHEM FESTIVAL BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Life moves fast sometimes. That adage holds especially true for the guys in Shattered Sun, one of the bands that roars into the White River Amphitheatre on Tuesday as part of the annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, headlined this year by Slayer and King Diamond. “It’s all kind of a Cinderella-stars-all-aligning-in-the-right-placekind of story,” lead vocalist Marcos Leal said of the band’s rise. A six-piece metal band Texas-based Shattered Sun plays the Victory Records Stage for Tuesday’s Mayhem Festival at the from the South Texas oilWhite River Amphitheatre. The band is Marcos Leal, Daniel Trejo, Jessie Santos, Joseph Guajardo, Robert town of Alice, Shattered Garza and Henry Garza.

to ink a management deal with Breaking Bands LLC – a management company started by industry heavyweights Jon Zazula and Chuck Billy, Testament’s lead singer. “We got on the phone with Chuck and Jonny, who called us back that day,” Leal said. “It was just one of those things where something positive happens from something negative.” Since then Shattered Sun has toured with thrash metal legends Testament and Exodus, signed with Victory Records and earned that coveted slot at the Mayhem Festival. “That was huge,” Leal said. “All the hard work we put into the album and the long winding road, that was the arrival.” Despite the amount of recognition the band has garnered in such a short time, Leal said, he doesn’t expect any of the members to get rockstar attitudes or big heads anytime soon. “A lot of it has to do with where we come
from,” Leal said. “We’re blue-collar, family guys. We’re not that stereotype metal head that people who aren’t into heavy metal think of. “We all have families that keep us level, and we always remind ourselves that if it wasn’t for this music, we would all be working in the oil fields.” Instead of slaving away in the oil fields, however, the guys in Shattered Sun aim to get heads banging at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Victory Records Stage at Mayhem. “You can expect high energy, a lot of headbanging, and some beer drinking,” Leal said. “We want to show the rest of the world that heavy metal is not dead.” This year’s Mayhem Festival numbers performances by Slayer, King Diamond, Hellyeah, Devil Wears Prada, Feed Her To the Sharks, Kissing Candice, Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, Jungle Rot, Sister Sin, Sworn In and Code Orange.

Fourth of July tips for pet owners BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center
For many dogs, the Fourth of July is a traumatic day filled with flashes and booms. Extremely frightened dogs may run away. To keep pets safe, many professionals suggest the following: Consult your veterinarian be-
fore the fireworks begin. Confirm that your pet is microchipped, and the contact info is current. Obtain any medications that might be helpful. Be sure your pet’s ID tag is up-to-date, and you have recent, clear photos of Fido in the event your dog is lost. Exercise and feed your dog before the fireworks begin. Put Fido
Not coming when called? BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center
Nothing is more frustrating than a dog who won’t come when called. Whether Fido is loose in his fenced
yard or at the dog park, a reliable off-leash recall is a necessity. Follow these tips for recall success: Select one special word
“to bed” early – with a new chew bone or stuffed hard rubber toy. If your dog is crate trained, use it. If not, make sure your dog’s bed is in a room where you can close the windows, turn on fans, a radio or TV to block out the noise and flashes of light. Do not take your dog outside during the fireworks. You never
that means, “Come on the first command, regardless of the distractions!” If your dog has already learned to ignore your word, begin fresh with a new one. Remove the option of not coming. Use a leash or long line attached to Fido’s collar for recall training. Preface

...Pampered Pets know what might fly through the air and land in your yard or at your feet. If your dog does need to go outside, make it a quick potty stop – on a leash (yes, on a leash, even in your own back yard) – and then back inside. You don’t want to have to chase a frightened dog around the yard … and worse yet, you don’t want your pet to escape in panic. Do not take your dog to a public fireworks display. You may
the command with his name, give him one second to respond, and then use gentle pressure on the line to bring him to you. Be sure to have your dog sit when he reaches you. Reward him profusely with praise, petting and treats. Make coming a pleasant experience. Teaching a sit in front will help your dog learn to stop when he gets to you (instead of running past, playing keep away, etc.). Add distractions to simulate real-life situations. Give your dog permission to get distracted by a neighbor, toy, food, etc. that you have prearranged. During the distraction, call your dog
think your dog will be fine, but it only takes a moment for something traumatic to happen and suddenly you have a frightened dog that may try to escape or act aggressively out of fear. The next morning be sure to walk your yard and pick up any paper, plastic and other debris that flew through the air and landed in your yard. Have a safe and sane Fourth of July with your four-legged friends.
and use your leash to bring him to you. Have him sit in front. Reward him. Wait a few seconds and then give him permission to get involved with the distraction again. Your goal is for your dog to leave the distraction and come to you on the first command. A reliable recall can take many months of training, especially with adolescent canines. Be patient and consistent. Always reward your dog when he gets to you. The first step is several months of 100 percent reliability with a line attached. Only then can you test your dog by removing the line and training in a safe, fenced area.

of that amount coming from City coffers and the rest from Pacific’s insurance company. “That was a big win for the City,” Guier said. “It feels really, really good. When I first took office, I was so worried about these lawsuits and what the financial impacts would be to the City.” The lawsuit was the last of nine brought by employees whom Sun harassed or fired. City residents recalled him in July of 2013. Also at the meeting: Council members voted unanimously to raise the speed limit on Frontage Road from 25 to 30 miles per hour. After a mudslide in the spring of 2014 temporarily closed a portion of West Valley Highway, the Council lowered the speed limit between Ellingson Road and Third Avenue Southwest from 35 to 25 miles per hour and detoured traffic onto Frontage Road. “Knowing traffic was going to be rerouted, there was a concern about pedestrian safety,” Guier said.
[ AVCA from page 1 ] to leave was partly based on a lack of money being produced to pay the rent. “The current location at the Arcade is hemorrhaging money,” Tanner said. “What led to our closure was basically the current gallery doesn’t make any sales. It’s hard to be an art gallery that doesn’t sell any art.” Not only does the organization suffer from lack of sales, so do local artists. “We have unbelievable artists in Auburn, but they aren’t selling any art in Auburn,” he said. Tanner wants to change that perhaps by relocating to an area with more foot traffic. “If our art gallery was somewhere where people walked by, it would be easier to make sales,” he said. The space was also very limited for AVCA, with only enough room to display art. “The space that we are looking for is a little bit larger, where people can have a place to work and have multiple artists working at the same time,” he said. AVCA also wants to find a new home where business owners might be more
After that portion of West Valley Highway reopened, the City commissioned a study to analyze speed data and collision reports, and from it determined that 30 mph was a safe speed for the road. Although the final vote for the ordinance was unanimous, Councilmember Vic Kave introduced a motion to amend the ordinance to return the speed limit to the previous 35 mph. The motion went down to defeat, 4-3. “There was lots of discussion, but it ended up staying at 30 because of pedestrian traffic and the lack of sidewalks in the area,” Guier said. The change will cost the city $300 for new speed limit signs. In other action, Council members voted unanimously to approve the acceptance of a $106,000 King County Community Development Block Grant to reroof the City’s senior and community centers. Guier said the grant will also fund the re-roofing of the awning covering the walkway that connects the senior center to city hall. willing to work with their nonprofit organization status. As a 501(c) nonprofit organization, landlords can cut the organization’s rent, then claim it as a donation. The amount would be fully tax-deductible. Until AVCA can find a business owner willing to work with the organization’s nonprofit status, Tanner said, there are other opportunities for them, such as becoming a traveling art gallery. “It’s fairly common in the Northwest. It’s something we are interested in doing until we find our new home,” said Tanner. AVCA will continue to teach demos at City Hall on the second Wednesday of every month. The closure of its doors may also lead to an increase in classes throughout the month. “We will have more of an opportunity to teach the community a little bit more,” he said. Despite not having a home, AVCA is here to stay. “Auburn Valley Creative Arts isn’t ending. We’re not leaving. We will still be an artist co-op, we just won’t have an Art Gallery,” Tanner said.

Tattoos and the military featured in museum’s latest exhibit FOR THE REPORTER
SERVICE INK, Veterans’ Tattoos and Their Stories opened at the White River Valley Museum on Wednesday and runs through Nov. 15, continuing its tradition of unique and engaging exhibits. SERVICE INK is composed of photographs and stories about 40 individuals’ military inspired tattoos acquired through a community call. It honors veterans, provides a setting for appreciation and discussion, and celebrates the vigor and storytelling inherent in the art of tattoo. “Viewing this exhibit is a real honor because the participants have graciously invited us into their lives through their tattoos and personal testimonials,” said Patricia Cosgrove, museum director and exhibit curator. “Though the exhibit does include some tough and sometimes sad topics, I think our visitors will find this exhibit remarkable and truly uplifting. You can’t help but ponder the images and want to discuss their stories. So we moved a couch and coffee machine into the gallery for guests to sit and discuss.” All participants reside in Washington and include active duty and veteran members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Reserves. Tattoos acquired during the Vietnam War are the oldest, and some are still works-inprogress. Each entry is displayed
on a graphic panel of photos with a short story. The messages they portray vary greatly. Nine are memorials for husbands, sons and fellow military members. Several honor the service of others, family military traditions or specific units. One entry expresses feelings associated with being dishonorably discharged in the 1980s because of sexual orientation, another with sexual harassment and rape while in the military. Some of the tattoos were selected and acquired to help cope with PTSD – often by honoring a spiritual connection to nature, peace and beauty. Many show pride and patriotism. The exhibit debunks the stereotype of military tattoos as intoxicated rites of passage to reveal a culture of deep symbolism steeped with personal growth and healing. Some of the stories may break your heart. “He signed up for the toughest service, the Marines, the toughest job, Marine Corps Infantry, in the most dangerous places in the world, Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2008 he deployed with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines to Afghanistan and was killed along with three other Marines when his Humvee struck an IED,” recounted proud father Michael Washington of his son, Michael T. Washington. Some of the entries are humorous and engaging. “My buddy had his tattoo gun and supplies sent to

GOING THE EXTRA MILE Auburn Riverside grad shines on the run, in and out of classroom BY SHAWN SKAGER
Auburn Riverside’s Dax Tate, far right, battles the pack at the All-Auburn cross country race last fall.
sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Dax Tate is one busy guy. A mere glance at the recent Auburn Riverside graduate’s college entrance resume is enough to make your standard overachiever look as lazy as a sloth. And if the sheer volume of his activities isn’t enough, Tate excels at pretty much anything he does. Academics? Tate, who has carried a 4.0 since fifth grade, graduated first in Auburn Riverside’s Class of 2015 while carrying a full load of AP and honors classes. He is a member of the National Honor Society. Athletics? Tate, captain of the Ravens cross-country and track and field team this past season, wrapped up his prep career as a distance runner with appearances at the state meet in both sports. A national-level water skier,

he competed in swimming for the Auburn Valley YMCA. Volunteer work? In addition to the hours he spends volunteering with Calvary Community Church, Tate has helped lead a cleanup of Flaming Geyser Park, tutored middle and elementary school students, hosted the annual Tacoma Point Easter Egg Hunt and built a disability ramp for the North Tapps Middle School outdoor stage.

Teen to compete at elite football camp BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com
At 6-foot-3 and 315 pounds, Conner McArthur is an unmistakable, imposing man-child. Fun-loving and still growing, the Auburn boy just turned 14. He towers over family and friends, but where he really stands out is the football field, where his blocking and tackling along the line
of scrimmage helped Cascade Middle School capture the Auburn School District title last season. USA Football, a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing and developing the sport, recently selected McArthur to represent his country at the U.S. National Development Games in Canton, Ohio, on June 29-July 5. McArthur will
compete against, and play alongside, some of the best players his age in daily practices, jamborees, and fullcontact regulation games throughout the week at Walsh University. For McArthur, the U-14 camp is an opportunity to develop his leadership, character, and football skills by learning from some [ more CAMP page 17 ]

[16] June 26, 2015 Music? Tate has that covered, too. Ever since fifth grade, he has played the flute, including auditioning into the Auburn Riverside Wind Ensemble, with which he has performed at festivals and competitions in multiple states. Well-rounded just doesn’t begin to encompass all the 18-year-old has achieved, let alone what Tate – who is enrolled in the Honors Program at the University of Washington – plans to do with his future. Running grounds Tate and paves the way for his success in other things. “It seems like the running would take away from my time, but I don’t know if I would be able to do half of what I do without it,” he said. Whether it’s running days with training jaunts of up to 10 miles, or ordinary workout days with shorter runs, Tate said, he uses the time running to organize his life.

“I go through my day, my week or my year while I run,” he said. “The first thing I do is sort through that day and figure out what I have to do when. I kind of plan and organize while I’m running. Tate It definitely helps with time management. Also, there is a de-stressing element in it, there is a chemical involved.” It’s a trick he’s used even since he first began running competitively in fifth grade. “Fifth grade was when I figured out that I wanted to get the school mile record,” he said. “It was actually shorter than a mile, but they called it the mile. I got 6 minutes, 20 seconds, and the record was actually 6:15. But I did a lot of training for it, so when I went to middle school I turned out and I was pretty good at it.” A product of the Dieringer School District, Tate first ran competitively for North Lake Tapps Middle School, before moving on to Auburn Riverside, where McGuire, Gilbert, 64, June 8 McMasters, Viola, 88, June 16 Moore, John, 90, June 11 Moreno, Luke, 26, June 16 Olson-Greco, Helen, 87, May 30 Oswald, Duane, 91, June 3 Paddock, Elizebeth, 92, May 26 Pool, Lonnie, 90, June 15 Richardson, Johnnie, 46, May 25 Sahlin, David, 50, May 28 Schnoor, Donald, 74, June 11 Skelton, John, 40, May 31 Smith, Brianna, 21, June 7 Swanson, Terry, 67, June 10 Sweem, Elsie, 93, June 2 Wegener Jr., William, 58, June 13 Yi, Chun, 68, June 7

meet. In cross country he finished 66th overall, with a personal-best time of 16:50.94. In the 3,200 meters he was 13th at the state track meet, with a 9:50.88. He calls his senior season a “success” and said he is considering trying to walk on at UW. Away from the athletic realm, Tate keeps busy with his academics, music and
activities. “Freshman year I auditioned into the wind ensemble at Riverside,” Tate said. Tate said his musical career has rewarded him with friendships with his bandmates and a chance to play such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall. He said he plans to continue to play, just not full time.
Excellence in school Among all the things Tate does, however, the one thing that he probably does best is academics. “I’ve had a 4.0 for as far back as I can remember, at least back to fifth grade,” Tate said. He credits his mom and dad, Wendy and Greg Tate,
for encouraging him to achieve. “I have my mom and dad telling me how amazing it is (carrying a 4.0),” he said. “But it’s not like they’re telling me I’m grounded if I get an A-minus. There’s not a lot of parental pressure – encouragement yes, but not pressure. That’s pretty much internal.” Also crucial has been the competitive element, which comes via his friendly rivalry with buddy and fellow Raven Kyle Wuerch, who also maintains a 4.0. “We’re both competitive. We’ve competed in little things since we met in the fifth grade, and he has a 4.0,” Tate said. “So I had to keep it at least for that.” Next fall Tate heads off to the University of Wash-
ington, where he plans to major in medical science, although, he admits, he’s not 100 percent sure of his choice. “I only have anatomy and biology classes under my belt, as far as those sciences,” he said. “So I’m still going to test the water a little, take some classes in that, maybe some computer science, then decide.” To prepare for the grind of next season, Tate said he plans to take it easy over the summer. “I didn’t plan a whole lot on purpose,” he said. “I’m going to France with my mom, but other than that, I’m taking it easy.” Which for Tate probably means a whole lot more activity than your average teen.

Ernest Olstad, 93, died peacefully in his sleep on February 13, 2015 in Mesa AZ. He was born October 17, 1921 in Rushford, MN, to Carl and Hilda Olstad. He was one of three boys with five sisters. He spent his early years on the Rushford MN farm, which is still owned by his oldest sister, Martha Ferden. While still a teen he moved to North Dakota where his grandparents homesteaded near Ypsilanti, ND. He farmed with his father and at age twenty joined the Navy Sea Bees and served in the South Pacific from 1942-1946. He returned from war to continue farming. In his spare time he liked to build things and received third place from the North Dakota Inventors Congress for a new type of ski sled. He also designed and built a haystack mover and, with friend Dick Kupferschmidt, moved haystacks for local farmers. Along with Floyd Orr, Ernie fashioned a ski lift using a farm tractor and in the winters of the early ‘60s they operated a ski hill behind what is currently Two Rivers Inn West in Jamestown. Ernie met Orlene (Toots) Reich at the Parkway Cafe and married in 1956. A daughter, Patricia, was born in November 1957. Sadly, Orlene died of Hodgkin’s disease in 1959. Ernie farmed until 1967 when he joined a construction company as a welder working throughout the state. In the mid ‘70s he moved to Fairbanks Alaska where, on one job, he was paid in gold nuggets. He retired from the DEW (Defense Early Warning) Line in 1990 after being in a serious car accident. Nothing made Ernie happier than dancing. He was a member of the Eagles, Elks, Moose, Legion, and any organization that had dances. He went on several polka tours and cruises featuring Frankie Yankovich and traveled in Europe with Patty while she was stationed with the US Army in Germany. Several years ago Ernie asked Roger Gallagher to visit him in AZ and that began a long friendship with many trips between Washington and Arizona, and several side trips to Alaska, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Mexico.Wherever they went the duo managed to find fun and friends. Ernie spent 30 years in Alaska. For 25 years Mesa was his winter home with summers in Fairbanks. The last 10 years he spent summers in Auburn WA with daughter Patty. Ernie is survived by his daughter Patty deCamp, son-inlaw Dan deCamp, and grandson Danny deCamp. Four sisters also survive him: Martha Ferden (Bemidji and Rushford MN), June Eskelson (Winona),Vye (Emil) Wieland (Jamestown and Fargo), and Lillian Larson (Jamestown). Predeceasing him are his brothers, Clifford and Roger, and sister Ruth. A memorial will be held in Jamestown ND. Ernie will be buried with his late wife Orlena Olstad at the Ypsilanti North Dakota Cemetery. 1350679

McArthur, son of Jeff McArthur and Bettie Ogden, is a freshman-to-be at Auburn High School. “I strive to be an ambassador of American football around the globe,” McArthur said in a statement. “To have the chance to play while representing the greatest country in the world, in the birthplace of my sport, on the birthday of my country … is truly an honor, that with your help, I will realize, experience, cherish and respect for a
lifetime. “I have loved this game of football for my entire life, and one of the many things I have learned along the way is this: football is the ultimate team sport, and without a full team working as one, you simply can’t play, or furthermore, play to win.” McArthur not only helped the Spartans win the district middle school crown, he also was a member of Northwest Cougars 2014 Tanoa Bowl championship and 2015 spring league teams. Off the field, McArthur volunteers at Northwest Harvest, the Auburn Food Bank and his
school’s Builders Club. Jeff McArthur said his son has come far in such a short amount of time on the gridiron. “He’s played for only two years. He has a lot of stuff to work on, but to be selected (is an honor),” he said. “Coaches see enough potential that they want to continue to work with him. … I just want to get him the best possible coaching available.” Team McArthur has set a fundraising goal of $5,000 to cover registration, training, travel, gofundme fees and other expenses.
