Proceeds will help the Huffman family cover medical costs for Avery, who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The community has rallied in support of the 6-year-old girl, a student at Lakeland Hills Elementary School. Her story has gone international, touching even celebrities, who have passed on supportive messages to Huffman. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

City officials break ground on new center BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
They lauded the Auburn Teen and Community Center to be. Recalled how it has taken almost 30 years to get the project to where it is. And waxed lyrical about the generations to come that will enjoy it. And when all the speeches were done, each City official grabbed a shovel and broke ground at the site on the north end of the Les Gove Campus on Wednesday. If everything goes right, the complex will open in time for KidsDay next June. On March 3, 2014, the City Council, citing concerns that the more ambitious community center project as it was originally conceived on the south end of Les Gove Park, might burst its budget, scrapped that plan. In its place, councilmembers later decided to go forward with the less pricey

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 What the City hopes to achieve with the 13,700-square-foot community center is create opportunities for public and private events, classes, a fitness room with cardio and resistance machines, city-wide celebrations, storage, offices, and work areas for Parks, Arts and Rec administrative staff. The community center is a from-ground-up project. Its heart will be a 3,500-squarefoot multi-purpose room, offering enough space for 200-275 people and dividable into three rooms. Shared spaces between the buildings are to include a lobby, some outdoor gathering areas and a teaching and warming kitchen, which the project realizes by renovating and expanding the kitchen. more story online…

City: water supply is fine, for now, but restrictions a possibility BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Ten groundwater wells, two springs and connections with Tacoma’s regional surface water system provide Auburn’s water supply. That’s all. Given the state brought on by last winter’s “snow drought” coupled with the recent spate of dry, hot days, the City of Auburn’s Water Utility has stepped up its
monitoring of the water supply from those wells and springs. While today the City has enough water to meet customers’ needs, should the monitoring detect a decline in available supplies, it may activate parts of its water supply contingency plan to encourage customers to cut back on their consumption. Tacoma Water, the City’s regional wholesale water supplier, has already initiated the next stage
of its water shortage response plan by asking its customers to ease up voluntarily on lawn watering. Because part of Auburn’s water comes from Tacoma, Auburn’s utility is also asking its customers for voluntary reduction on lawn watering. Given the region’s all-time driest May-July and in preparation of a potentially drier-than-normal fall, Everett and Seattle have also moved to this second stage of
their water shortage response plans. The voluntary stage has been enacted because the potential for a water supply shortage continues to increase. Tacoma, Seattle and Everett are working together to manage water supplies for people and fish during the drought and higherthan-normal water use. They are asking customers for their help by voluntarily reducing their water
[ AIRPORT from page 1 ] familiar issue. But City officials say they only recently learned coyotes were running about on the airport grounds when complaints began popping up about “near-misses” between the animals and aircraft. While coyotes are known to exist elsewhere inside the city limits, City officials say, this fresh potential for injury to persons or property warrants exemption from Auburn’s prohibition on firearm discharge. Beyond the recent reports of animal-aircraft near-encounters, the City has developed a factual basis and a plan for comprehensive wildlife depredation at the airport. At the request of the FAA, the City commissioned a Wildlife Hazard Assessment (“WHA”), which was in the fact gathering stage between November of 2013 and October of 2014. The City submitted its report to the
ASSISTED LIVING IS LIKE DANCING. YOU NEED THE RIGHT PARTNER.
FAA in February of 2015. When FAA Administrator Michael Huerta read the report, he determined that there was enough wildlife activity at the airport that the City needed to generate a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan (“WHMP”). The City’s FAA-accepted WHMP sets forth components and requirements that include training of personnel to conduct wildlife depredation and control habitat, to use wildlife harassment techniques and employ lethal force if necessary to complement nonlethal measures such as the use of loud fireworks. The City’s airport management contractor, the Aviation Management Group, has already sent its staff through FAA-approved training to perform wildlife depredation measures consistent with the WHMP and – relevant to migratory birds like geese – the City now has the necessary permitting from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Councilmember Largo Wales asked what kind of noise the airport’s neighbors would hear. “Typically, they are going to use a .22 caliber, but the preferred weapon with what they are doing is a silenced shotgun,” said Auburn Assistant Police Chief Bill Pierson. “It’s going to have some form of suppression on it to not gain attention.” Pierson disclosed safety measures the management group plans to take. “They don’t want to be shooting up at birds flying in the air and have the trajectory cause a round to go past the birds and into some neighbor’s property. So they’ll be cognizant of their backstop … and probably shoot more towards the ground,” Pierson said. “Again, it is a last resort; they have several other tactics they are going to use to try to get birds to leave the airport. But the birds that don’t learn, those are the ones they’ll need to perform depredation on.”

Issue of ‘failing’ schools slips under the radar Public schools are not just underfunded by the state, as Washington’s Supreme Court has made abundantly clear. Most of them are also failing, according to the federal government. Parents of elementary and secondary students across the state are receiving letters this month explaining why their child attends a school deemed failing by the U.S. Department of Education. These letters, which already went out to school districts, offer parents a chance to transfer their child to a non-failing school in their district, if one exists, and to obtain tutoring if their family qualifies. Roughly 90 percent of the state’s 2,300 schools must send out these letters. It’s punishment for not complying with a provision in the federal No Child Left Behind Act requiring that every student meet state standards in math, reading and English language. This was all kind of a big deal a year ago and has not made as much a stir this summer. Remember Washington began 2014 with a waiver from the federal education law’s stringent rules. It then lost it. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had warned he would revoke the waiver unless state law was changed to require the use of student test scores in evaluating teachers. That set off a fierce fight involving lawmakers, Gov. Jay Inslee and Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn. Most Democrats and a few Republican lawmakers opposed the change. So, too, did the Washington Education Association, the powerful statewide teacher’s union. Inslee and Dorn met with Duncan in Washington, D.C. to gauge his resolve. They returned with determination to preserve the waiver, crafting what they hoped to be a compromise bill. It never earned a vote. After Duncan kept his word and yanked the waiver, 1,916 schools sent out the Jerry Cornfield

In response to “City needs to address homeless problem” (Auburn Reporter, Aug. 21): Connie Love, you are right about the growing homeless population in Auburn. I have lived near Les Gove Park for nearly 30 years and the homeless problem has become so bad that people are afraid to go to the park, library and senior center, day or night, especially after two homeless people were recently killed there. Homeless people hang out at the Sounder Transit Station every day. Homeless people live in the unmanaged thicket on the south side of the Eagles Hall. There used to be a clothing drop-off near this location that was removed. I believe it was because homeless people

Big deal: promoting spud consumption in China In China, the government has launched an “eat more potatoes” campaign – and Washington state could benefit as a result. China’s potato push is in part an environmental effort to provide more clean drinking water for its exploding urban population and offset its polluted water from factories and inadequate sewer treatment.
Home to more than 1.3 billion people, China has until recently enjoyed a decades-long economic boom that raised more than 600 million people out of poverty, according to World Bank statistics. Urbanization is expected to continue at breakneck speed, adding 300 million additional people to Chinese cities in the next 15 years

to create a total urban population of about one billion people by 2030. But 13 percent of Chinese city dwellers have inadequate water pressure, and 60 percent of China’s 661 cities face seasonal water shortages. Contamination of drinking water from feces is a critical health problem throughout the country. That’s where the potato comes in. Crops like rice and wheat, Chinese staples, are far more water-
hometown problem? All towns have poor and transient peoples among them. I can remember a few years back when Kent and Renton complained about Auburn sending our homeless to their cities to pan handle, etc. Auburn needs to step up and think of some new solutions to our burgeoning problem rather than deflecting the problem somewhere else. We all need to have a little more concern, compassion and a moral compass to guide us through the process. It is so disheartening that an average Joe will rescue an animal on the side of a road and not even make eye contact with someone in a desperate situation. I have helped and will continue to help do what I can. Everyone has a story. Not all homeless people are bad. [ more LETTERS page 9 ]
intensive than the low-maintenance potato. Even though China grows a quarter of the world’s potatoes, the Chinese frown on tubers. Spuds have traditionally been viewed as a poor man’s food, something to subsist on in times of famine, fed to hogs or thrown into simple stir-fries. The government wants to change that. Through marketing events and ad campaigns, it is promoting a new image for the lowly spud with slogans and catchy jingles like, “Potato, Potato, Potato” and “Our Potato, [ more BRUNELL page 9 ]

As lifestyles change and incomes rise among Chinese urbanites, so too does the demand for fast food – and part of the fast food menu is french fries, potato wedges and crisps. In the five years ending in 2014, the Chinese fast food industry grew at an average rate of 12.4 percent a year. In comparison, the mature U.S. fast food industry grew at just 2.5 percent.

Help Fido make a smooth transition to fall BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center
Dogs love, and need, predictable routines. If your work, school or vacation schedule has given you more time at home with Fido this summer, follow these tips to ease him into your fall routine: Home alone. If Fido’s used to having company all day long, but will be left alone for eight to nine hours a day in a few weeks, use this time to gently ease him back to a normal weekday schedule.

Mind games. Dogs who interact with humans all day long become accustomed to the mental stimulation. Look at summer through your dog’s eyes. It’s probably very entertaining, interesting and stimulating. There’s always someone available to toss the ball, shake a paw, take a walk or rub your belly. Think of ways to exercise your dog’s mind during the fall so he doesn’t get bored. Set aside time every day to teach a new trick or practice obedience skills during your walk to the park. Join a training class to learn new skills together. A little thought and advance planning can help Fido go with the flow as your family goes back to school and work this fall.

ration anxiety or destructive behavior. Gradual change is better. If it helps, put Fido’s transition schedule on the family calendar. Exercise. When the family is home all day, the dog’s activities are spread throughout the day. Fido may only get a 30 minute nap once or twice a day, in between all the family barbecues, walks to the park and camping trips. Consider how you’re going to give your companion the same amount of physical exercise when you go back to work or school. Set aside 30 minutes, twice a day, just for Fido. Play ball. Go for a run. Take a walk. Without proper exercise, dogs often become destructive when left home alone.

Jim Francisco
Wilva Edith Harron
Edith left this life peacefully on August 4, 2015 at the age of 102 years. Born December 2, 1912 in Grundy, Virginia, she moved to Washington with her family in 1914. Her early years were spent in logging camps in southwest Washington, where her dad was a logger and her mom a cook. At a young age, Edith served as a waitress in the log camp cookhouse, leading to many colorful stories shared over the years. After graduating from Centralia High, she married LeRoy Harron, a beloved music teacher. They were wonderful parent to their two children and to extended family members. The family moved to Auburn in 1958, where Edith remained until LeRoy’s death in 1987, finally moving to University Place. Ede loved spending time with family and friends (especially grandkids), playing bridge, doing crossword puzzles and crocheting afghans. The entire family treasured her wit, wisdom and spirit, as she was the matriarch for all. She remained active and played bridge until her hospitalization in July. Edith is legendary for her chocolate chip cookies and her great sense of humor. She was preceded in death by parents George and Grace Deskins, siblings John Deskins, Edna Rucker, Eileen Gesler, husband LeRoy and son Michael. She will be greatly missed by her daughter Christine Lucey (Robert), grandchildren Patrick, Kimberly, Michael (Kari), Nicholas (Katelyn) and five great grandchildren. Family services will be held at a later date. 1398138

Stryker Phd says yes to Washington Cup FOR THE REPORTER
Fans will get another chance to watch Stryker Phd at Emerald Downs in 2015. Assistant trainer Sharon Ross said Stryker Phd – the first horse to win the Longacres Mile twice at Emerald Downs – is a go for the $60,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic on Sunday, Sept. 13. At 1 1/16 miles, the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic anchors the Washington Cup, six stakes worth an aggregate $310,000 exclusively for Washingtonbreds. “Today (Aug. 20) was his first day back at the track for Stryker, and he’s doing great,” Ross said. “The Washington Cup fits the schedule.” In winning the 80th Mile on Aug. 16, Stryker Phd rallied from ninth for a one-length victory in 1:34.06 and earned a career-high 99 Beyer, two points higher than last year’s Mile and a point better than his previous best in the Budweiser Handicap two months ago. Following the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, Stryker Phd

could be shipped to Golden Gate Fields for the $100,000 Berkeley Handicap, a Grade 3 at one mile on Tapeta. Although the stakes schedule isn’t set, the Berkeley is usually run in late November. Such a scenario would allow Stryker Phd to be turned out in the winter before taking a run at a Longacres Mile threepeat as a 7-year-old in 2016. “He likes having those three months off,” Ross said. “It works well for him.” Stryker Phd’s seven straight stakes wins tie Ropersandwranglers for the second longest streak in Emerald Downs’ history, and a victory in the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic would tie Stopshoppingdebbie’s track record of eight straight stakes wins. In fact, Stryker Phd began his Emerald Downs winning streak with a 3¼-length victory in the 2013 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, running 1 1/16 miles in 1:40.99. He sat out last year’s race, mainly due to a short twoweek gap between the Mile and the Washington Cup.

Having championed the need for better health and human services in South King County for years, the Auburn Youth Resources board of directors has unanimously endorsed King County’s Best Starts for Kids initiative. The initiative, which will be on the Nov. 3 ballot, will improve the health and well-being of children, youth and families in King County by investing in prevention and early intervention strategies. “We are passionate supporters of Best Starts for Kids,” said Jim Blanchard, AYR’s executive director. “AYR has been advocating for additional funding to serve highrisk youth and young adults in our diverse South County region for years. The need keeps increasing and getting more complex so it couldn’t come at a better time. Kim Anardi, board president, added: “Best Starts is critically important for people like us at AYR who care so deeply about helping our young people grow to be healthy, productive members of our South King County communities.” AYR was established as a grassroots organization in 1973 to address the growing problem of drug use in the area.
