New transportation plan to bring relief to motorists BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
As of today, motorists trying to get through Auburn to the Muckleshoot Casino, the White River Amphitheatre, the city of Enumclaw, Mount Rainier or
other destinations to the east must often fight their way through horribly crowded Auburn streets. During the busiest hours of the day, automobile agglutination makes that a flat-out pain. But the new transportation package that passed out of the
state Legislature on Tuesday offers good news for beleaguered Auburnites. That is, $15 million for a new Highway 18 off-ramp to bypass the aforementioned mess before joining Highway 164 past the casino, and the completion of State
Route 167, which is part of the $1.5 billion Puget Sound Gateway Project. As the largest transportation project in the state, the Gateway project plans calls for the completion of not only of 167 but also SR 509.
Rep. Christopher Hurst, D-Enumclaw (31st District), has championed both projects for years, and was in a celebratory mood Tuesday. He noted that lawmakers of both parties wrote and [ more PLAN page 7 ]

Auburn’s leaders recently summoned to City Hall their three-member Main Street Urban Design Project team to hear what it has been up to lately. That is, what have they learned in meetings, what has their research revealed, what are some of their design ideas, and what have Auburn residents had to say in all the interviews about their city’s present and future. And the team responded with optimism. “You have a suite of assets that really positions you for an amazing future,” said Brice Maryman, project manager and a landscape architect with SVR Design. “A lot of communities are really hungering for exactly these types of things.” Things such as: Auburn’s proximity to Interstate 5, State Route 167 and Highway 18, a positioning, Maryman said, that nets the city, “300,000 400,000 eyeballs going right [ more AUBURN page 7 ]

Auburn Police have arrested a suspect and recovered a weapon in the shooting death investigation of two victims at Les Gove Park. The suspect, a 39-yearold man, has ties to Auburn and the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area, where the victims also are believed to have been from, police said. The man and woman who were shot to death late Sunday at the popular park were considered transient, had ties to the Coeur d’Alene area and were in Auburn to work
at a Muckleshoot fireworks stand through July 4, police determined. The 32-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were shot and killed at the park on Ninth Street Southeast near Auburn Way South around 9:29 p.m. The victims’ names have not been released.

Firework injures 2 police officers BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
An exploding firework injured two Auburn Police Officers behind the Muckleshoot Smoke Shop on the evening of July 4 as they monitored traffic overflowing from the discharge area of the Muckleshoot fireworks stands across Auburn Way South. Auburn Police suspect the explosion may have been a deliberate act aimed at the officers, and they are looking for who did it. According to Auburn Police Cmdr. Steve Stocker, at about 10 p.m., the two officers were behind the Smoke Shop grocery store, monitoring traffic when the firework went off right in front of them. “One of the officers was stunned and blown backwards and momentarily lost his hearing. The other officer received several small burns on his body and uniform,”

CONTRACTOR CREWS working for the Washington State Department of Transportation began replacing miles of worn and damaged pavement on State Route 164 between Auburn and Enumclaw this week. Crews from ICON Materials began work on the $3.9 million project to repave 5.5 miles between Hemlock Street Southeast and Southeast 408th Street. Crews will also upgrade three pedestrian crossings. The work requires daytime and nighttime lane closures during off-peak commuting hours, but drivers should still plan for delays.

King County Sheriff John Urquhart, second from the left, gave local leaders at the recent Good Eggs Breakfast roundtable discussion the latest on issues confronting his department and law enforcement in general. Urquhart discussed with South King County leaders how important it is for law enforcement officials to build trust within the general community. “Public safety programs work through relationships built on trust,” said King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, first from left, who hosts the breakfasts. “During these challenging times and changing attitudes toward law enforcement officers, we need to encourage our officers to be visibly involved within their communities.” Posing at the gathering are, from left: von Reichbauer; Urquhart; Federal Way Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge; and Wild Waves CEO Jeff Stock.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“I’ve been fighting to finish this highway for years, so it’s tremendously satisfying to get that done for my friends and neighbors. This one is worth celebrating.”– Rep. Christopher Hurst, D-Enumclaw, on supporting a successful transportation plan that will complete Highway 167.
Finding the fountain of youth in music Once upon a time a Spanish explorer named Juan Ponce de León spent a great deal of time searching what is now Florida for the fabled Fountain of Youth. Because de León died after a poisoned arrow struck him at the age of 47 – the age I attain on Aug. 10 – I am assuming that he never found it. Although it can hardly benefit poor de León, who has been dead for 494 years now, I have actually been successful in the quest for the Fountain of Youth. And this past Sunday, I sipped again of its healing waters. Now, it should be noted that I’m not speaking literally here. Don’t go searching Western Washington for any magic fountain to keep you young. You won’t find it. If you do, however, please contact me. I’d like the scoop and maybe a sip or two. No, friend, my fountain is not water, it’s music, specifically live music. Even more specifically, the hard rock and heavy metal of my youth. Coming of age in the 1980s, I was drawn to heavy metal and hard rock. As the predominant genres of that time period, their appeal of distorted guitars, wailing vocals, pounding drums and high energy of bands like Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Metallica and the mighty Van Halen were undeniable. Like many youth of the period, I clung to those bands and their ilk, grew my hair long, donned the uniform of concert T’s and jeans, all while finding real solace in the lyrics and the music when teen angst begin to overwhelm me. I found a place to belong. Those bands became more than just music to me. They became the soundtrack of my life, and going to live shows was, for me, akin to going to church. While many of my peers eventually “grew up,” taking on careers and families and finding their way to the suburbs and more acceptable forms of music, like adult contemporary and John Tesh and Yanni – you know Shawn Skager

Auburn, what happened to you? I was raised in Auburn, spent 13 years in the Auburn School District and graduated in what I thought was a very nice community. I left for a short time and have been back for about four years, and the nice community that I once knew is no longer here, granted there are parts of the city that may or may not have the issues that I see. I won’t begin by saying that I know everyone’s problems or how to solve every issue the city is facing because I don’t. But I do know that, as a community, we can stand up against these issues and take back this city and become the community that we once knew it to be. The issues range from roads to drug use, violence, homelessness and human traf-

Locke had earlier identified spending priorities, Floyd believed universities needed to prioritize and focus on their core mission. Floyd took on that daunting task, which meant eliminating some [ more BRUNELL page 6 ]

Unwanted fireworks rattle our neighborhood July 4 is a wonderful and exciting celebration. Americans should be celebrating the day of our country’s birth with beautiful fireworks. But do we need fireworks going off in residential areas, where there’s always that chance they could start a house fire? Especially with those fireworks that shoot up into the air with the possibility that still-burning debris could land on rooftops and set a house on fire? This is dangerous. This practice should be truly against the law and not be taken for granted or ignored. Those caught breaking this law should be penalized or jailed to teach them a lesson. On one of the streets of Lakeland Hills where I live, fireworks were lit up by a neighbor continuously for about an hour and a half, from 10 to 11:30 p.m., on July 4. When the fireworks wouldn’t stop, I called 911, but I was told by the operator that there’s a “high volume of calls” regarding this matter and that my call would

“be answered in the order it was received.” And that I would “be put on hold, or I can hang up and call again.” I called four times, and each time I was put on hold. So, I finally gave up. Lighting up fireworks had been banned in our neighborhood. And from what I understand, there is an Auburn Police officer “hired and paid for” by our HOA that continuously patrols our neighborhood. May I ask, what happened to this officer, and how come he didn’t perform one of his duties in stopping the lighting up of fireworks in our neighborhood? – Jesse Jose
Let’s ban the boom At 10 p.m. on July 4, when all the dishes are done and the barbecue food is put away, it would be nice to relax and enjoy the evening. But no. Living by the Muckleshoot Reservation means a night of terror from loud mortar shells being shot into the night sky. In Auburn we have a law, “if it goes up and if it blows up, it is illegal.” One would be hard pressed to find a law more blatantly ignored and violated. In my neighborhood we are

removed a bit from the downtown core, so seldom is there a patrol to enforce this mostly unenforceable rule. My neighbor has been shooting off mortar fireworks now and then since sales began in May. There is a poof and a loud explosion that shakes the windows. This is a regular occurrence every year because the tribe can and does sell just about anything. And certainly there is a lot more “bang” for the buck these days. It is akin to suffering from PTSD with the constant loud explosions. Firecrackers are small potatoes anymore. These mortars are “going up” and certainly “blowing up.” Each year the products get larger and louder. One would argue that there is not much about celebration of our country here because if we honor our country, then we obey the laws. I long for the day when fireworks no longer are allowed at all in our community. Sponsored shows done by professionals are enough fireworks for most of us. I implore the Muckleshoot Tribe to end this yearly barrage. Honor the land you and I share, and bring back peace and quiet for good. – Nancy Schumaker

Hospice 101: Who, What, When, Where and How?
I find myself wondering what is going on at Green River College. We read in the paper of the possibility of shutting down the auto and carpentry shops because enrollment is down for the moment. We also read of the instructor concerns and conflict with the union that happens to have leaders from the programs with potential shutdowns. All that has me thinking about the leadership change at the school and wondering what has changed in the vision of the future since a new president was hired. I am aware that several administrative positions have changed hands unexpectedly, and I wonder why. Community has been dropped from the name because, I believe, of the move to being a four-year school. I do not object to a move to being a four-year school, but I would object to giving up the vision of the community college, one of supporting vocational education such as those programs mentioned above. I wonder if a vision change is what led to the departure of those administrators. At this point I think the board owes it to the Auburn, Kent

Thanks for the help My sincere appreciation and thanks to the young couple and their son who helped me on the afternoon of July 3 when my car died in the traffic lane on C Street Southwest. Lots of people passed me by, but you were the only ones to stop to try to assist me. Once my car started again, you even followed me the two miles to my house. I apologize for being so “bummed out” that I can’t remember your names. And by the way, the problem was most likely a vapor lock. Just remove the gas cap so pressure can be released. Problem solved. Thank you again, nice people.

pace for Washington State University and the state’s higher education system. Floyd was not afraid of a fight, and none was more challenging than the new medical school in Spokane. The University of Washington felt that, since it already had the state’s only medical school, it was destined to run the new Spokane campus. He took on the UW leadership and won with guts, determination and hard work. With his passing, there is a well-deserved move to name WSU’s medical school after Dr. Elson Floyd. “Floyd always made much of WSU’s role as a land-grant university – not an elite institution, but a university for common people and common problems – with programs in agriculture, engineering and veterinary science,” the Seattle Times editorialized. “This was the people’s university – he liked that,” said John Gardner, WSU vice president for advancement and CEO of the Washington State University Foundation. “He never wore it on his sleeve, but giving voice to those that have no voice – that was part and parcel of who he was.”
Floyd, whose family roots are in the south, became a Cougar and turned down several offers, including the top job at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Floyd loved students and if he knew of a student who was ill or having a hard time, he would step in to help – not with the cameras rolling for a news clip – but as a genuinely caring leader and friend. Mike Bernard, a WSU grad, small business owner and lifelong Cougar who rose to become Association of Washington Business Board chair, worked with Floyd on many WSU projects. “Elson Floyd just loved his job and loved the students,” Bernard recalled. “He was a deep-hearted guy with a disarming smile.” Being WSU president was not just a job to Elson Floyd, it was a way of life. That’s a tough act to follow.

by downtown Auburn every single day.” Among the other positives are the Sounder Commuter Train, the history that Auburn, unlike other cities, Maryman said, “hasn’t swept away,” and legacy business like Nelson’s Jewelry. Maryman praised as well the public sector improvements the City has invested in over the last 10 years, especially the many upgrades to infrastructure that are so attractive to the developers Auburn’s leaders want to attract. Maryman went on to describe “moments of surprise and delight,” either planned, he said, like the sculptures along Main Street, or unplanned. One downside, Maryman noted, was how the bed of the old White River as it once went through downtown Auburn continues to settle in places, for instance, under the B Street Plaza. Next to Maryman were SVR’s Managing Principal, Peg Staeheli, and Katie Idziorek, an urban designer with VIA Architecture & Urban Design. Over the course of recent months, these three

Also, how can the City makes its inventory of new and existing building stock more amenable to a public streetscape and a public life? “You have a lot going on that is really right, that really strongly positions you for the future,” Maryman said. “We often come to other communities and immediately see a lot of the issues. Here, we had to look beneath the surface a little bit to say, ‘OK, there are some places we need to tweak.’ Most important is that you are inviting people into downtown. We read in the paper today that the Trek Apartments are 25 percent pre-leased. The more people you get in the downtown, the better it’s going to be.” Councilman Rich Wagner aired a concern. “I agree with you that we have to get people downtown, and we want them to linger there, but there’s a fine line between lingering and loitering,” Wagner said. “The things that you propose for design I hope will take into account that difference, to emphasize the lingering and minimize the loitering.”

About seven years ago I got my first opportunity not only to go to concerts but actually to take pictures at a concert at the White River Amphitheatre, photographing Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce and Mastodon at the inaugural Mayhem Festival. This involved standing between the front row barricade and the stage, snapping pictures mere feet away from the bands for three songs. It was like a drug; I was addicted immediately.

await the summer festival season at the Amphitheatre to get my music fix. I have been blessed to have taken pictures of some of my favorite bands, including such music heavyweights as Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Rush. This past Sunday, I got the opportunity to take pictures of Van Halen. Back in the 1980s Van Halen was the biggest band in the world, selling out arenas and stadiums and moving millions of records. Their shows were must-sees, and they often sold out in mere minutes. I was lucky enough to catch the band’s “1984” tour stop in Salt

The Muckleshoot Tribe, which owns the old Miles Sand and Gravel Pit. has agreed to donate the land and put some money toward the bypass project As Washington depends on international trade perhaps more than any other state in the nation, Hurst said the completion of Highway 167 is of enormous importance to the region Hurst and the state. “Highway 167 now dead-ends in town and sends semis onto city streets, which causes a lot of traffic and damage to local roads,” Hurst said. “Finishing the highway sends all those trucks directly to the port instead of onto local streets. I’ve been fighting to finish this highway for years, so it’s tremendously satisfying to get that done for my friends and neighbors. This one is worth celebrating.” “Locally, it will help just regular people,” Rep. Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn, said of the project. “It will help relieve congestion so regular people can get to their work more quickly. But it’s also really important for the state because it will ensure you can get your goods to and
Lake City when I was in the ninth grade at the tender age of 14. Many bands are all about business live, striving to provide as flawless a performance as possible. For Van Halen it was all about feel. As David Lee Roth, the band’s flamboyant frontman proclaimed, a Van Halen show was an intimate party with a few thousand close friends. That’s how it was in 1984, and that’s how it is in 2015, judging by the band’s smoking 2½, 25-song set. The band tore through a sampling of its catalog, tossing in a few deep-cut rarities and a pair of songs

have conferred with experts on Auburn’s downtown, with key stakeholders, and recently with customers at the Auburn International Farmers Market. The idea was to find out what residents think should happen to the downtown in the short and long term, whether there might be room for a continuous canopy of trees, for clustering similar land uses or for embellishing some storefronts with decorative canopies to enliven the streetscapes. “One thing (we have learned in interviews) was that people were pretty consistent in liking downtown. They actually like to come, but they don’t have enough reason to stay, and that was pretty consistent,” Staeheli said. “On the destination scale, places and programs for people to gather, things to do, whether it’s a playground or public art that’s maybe a different scale than we typically see along Main Street. … Having café seating or sidewalk sales. How do we make that place feel more like a defined, inclusive space where you are supposed to be, where there’s larger public art and people gathering?”

from the market a lot faster and cheaper.” Months ago the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma formed a historical alliance wherein they decided to stop competing against each other but to compete against California and Canada. Both of those ports are making large investments to attract business from Asia that had been coming into Washington ports. “With the pending widening of the Panama Canal, cities like Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., are investing in their ports to lure more of the West Coast business to go over to the East Coast. That means Washington state is facing national and continental competition that it hasn’t really faced before,” Stokesbary said. “This project is really important to just keep what we have. But if all goes well, we might be able to expand the amount of business that we’re bringing in.” Stokesbary said the funding covers design work through construction on 167 and 509, and “we shouldn’t need any more money to finish 167.” “The third off-ramp should relieve a lot of the pressure that is going out to where I live in south Auburn and definitely to all the folks living out on the Enumclaw Plateau. It will definitely take some of that pressure off of downtown Auburn and a couple miles down the road,” Stokesbary said.
never performed live – “Drop Dead Legs” from “1984” and “Dirty Movies” from “Fair Warning”, if you’re keeping score – putting to rest doubts about being able to deliver live at their advanced ages. Roth and Van Halen are both 60. In fact, I thought they played as well as they did the first time I saw the band. Most important for me, however, was the opportunity provided by the music and stage show to sip from the fountain again, and to shed a bit of the cynicism
and callousness that I’ve acquired over the past three decades. For a few precious moments, I was able to feel 14 again, and that my friend, is priceless. And with about eight shows left on the schedule at White River, including Def Leppard, Foreigner, Styx and Tesla coming up, it looks like I’ll be bellying up to the Fountain of Youth a few more times this summer. And I’ll have the pics to prove it. Cheers.

Van Halen rocks White River REPORTER STAFF
The White River Amphitheatre in Auburn played host to the return of the mighty Van Halen, which opened its 2015 North American tour at the outdoor Auburn venue this past Sunday. One of the biggest bands in the world at one time, Van Halen proved it hasn’t lost a step, running through a two-hour, 25-song set list

that included deep tracks such as “Drop Dead Legs” off the “1984” album, and “Dirty Movies” from 1981’s “Fair Warning”. Both songs had never been performed live before Sunday’s show. The band also dusted off classics opening the show with “Light Up the Sky” and playing “In a Simple Rhyme”, both from the“Women and Children First” album. It was the first time the band had
played the former since 1980, and the first since 1978 for the latter. Drummer Alex Van Halen and newcomer Wolfgang Van Halen on bass – guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s son, who replaced founding member Michael Anthony – held down the bottom end, allowing Eddie and frontman David Lee Roth to do their thing. The Kenny Wayne Shepherd band opened the show.

When he’s serious about his weightlifting, it’s all about competing at the highest national and international levels, like the National Youth Championships, June 25-28 in Bloomington, Minn. There, Maurus took home first place in the 14-15-yearold, 85-kilogram (kg) division, snatching 120 kg (264 pounds) and clean and jerking 155 kg (341.7 pounds), both American records.

Starting Young W
hen intimate partner violence occurs, its impacts are felt throughout the family. Between three and four million children ages 3-17 are exposed to domestic violence every year in the United States. Studies demonstrate the effects of this exposure resulting in difficulties with a child’s emotional and behavioral functioning as well as in their cognitive capacities and attitudes. It also undermines a non-abusive parent’s relationship with their child, causing undue stress and weakened authority through the eyes of the child. Exposure to domestic violence occurs in many ways: witnessing violence acts and their aftermath, hearing arguments and fighting, or even sensing the tension and fear felt by the nonviolent parent. Through this process, children internalize unhealthy and often violent tendencies for conflict resolution and relationship-building. Boys who witnessed violence during their youth are more likely to abuse their female partners as teens and adults than are those who were raised in nonviolent homes. Better access to resources can provide families the information needed to reduce impacts of violence. Children and their parents need safe options and practical tips. Local domestic violence agencies, such as the Domestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN), can offer this support throughout Washington State. It’s never too early to start a conversation about healthy relationships. Reaching out to a domestic violence advocate can provide you with information such as: helpful tips, relationship red flags, and empowerment-based listening skills. DAWN’s services are free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn about intimate partner violence. A DAWN Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team advocate is also available to provide mental health and advocacy services to children who have experienced violence at home. To find support and to learn more about DAWN’s services, please visit dawnonline.org or call us at 425-656-4305 or toll free at 877-465-7234. 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. Visit dawnonline.org/ get-involved/ evening-of-promise. To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register for the Goodwill Refuse to Abuse 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

Little League squads snag district titles FOR THE REPORTER
The Auburn Little League 10-11 All-Stars captured the District 10 tournament on June 28 to punch their ticket to the state championship. Auburn defeated Steel Lake, 5-4, in extra innings behind solid pitching from Colton Anardi and Conner Sloan and some extra-inning hitting magic from the top of Auburn’s lineup. After Steel Lake tied the game at 4-4 in the sixth, leadoff hitter Vicente Feliciano started the extra frame with a single to ignite Auburn. Anardi then singled to push Feliciano to third before Ethan Smetheram lined into centerfield to plate the winning run. After losing a close game to Steel Lake in the second game of the tournament a week earlier, Auburn had to fight its way through the losers’ bracket, playing nearly every day up through the championship. Auburn’s ace, Drew Berkley, set up the week-
end series against Steel Lake by pitching a nearcomplete game shutout against powerful Federal Way National Little League on June 26. Stellar defense supported Berkley, exemplified by Dylan Butler’s over-the-shoulder catch early in the game and Jay Mentink’s consistently solid fielding of grounders up the middle. Mentink was Auburn’s spark plug throughout the week on offense and defense.
