City, merchants coming to grips with homeless problem BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Having arrived at work about 5:30 one recent morning, Giovanni di Quattro, owner of the Rainbow Café, found a man asleep at the back door of his
restaurant. Di Quattro woke the man and told him to leave. Cursing, the sleeper got up, stuck his paw in a nearby can and began to scrounge for his morning cigarette butts. “You need to leave; this is pri-
vate property,” di Quattro pressed. As the man was walking away, he snarled at di Quattro: “You know, I think I should just come back and pop you.” Recently, di Quattro continued, another man came in off the
street, and for no reason began elbowing patrons. He refused to leave until the police were called in. “We have a sign up that says, ‘restrooms for customers only,’ but they are constantly coming in and
using the restrooms. Just the other day, a guy came in, ran by us and went into the bathroom. I asked him to leave because he was not a customer. About two hours later, [ more HOMELESS page 7 ]
County removes one site for new transfer station REPORTER STAFF
King County has eliminated a site on West Valley Highway in Auburn from its list of candidates for a new recycling and solid waste transfer station in South King County. According to a press release, “review thus far has determined that a site located at 28721 West Valley Highway South in Auburn just north of the 37th Street West Valley Highway intersection is not a reasonable alternative, cannot feasibly attain the proposal’s objectives, and has been eliminated as a potential location for a new transfer station.” King County’s Solid Waste Division made the announcement as it issued a Revised Determination of Significance and request for comments on the scope of Environmental Impact Statement in [ more STATION page 5 ]

VETERANS DAY OBSERVANCE
SHOW OF PRIDE, HONOR AND CULTURE Auburn Sons of Italy shines in its work, role in the community

One day each November, Auburn’s Main Street shapeshifts into a sea of military might, a milelong parade honoring veterans of all stripes, a spirited 2½-hour march bursting with music, flags, salutes, tears and applause.
For those veterans who come unprepared, the experience can be overwhelming. Over the years, the Auburn Veterans Day Parade has blossomed into one of the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi. The 11 a.m. parade turns golden [ more SONS OF ITALY page 26 ]

Auburn man sentenced to 10 years for sex trafficking juveniles FOR THE REPORTER
A 44-year-old Auburn man who trolled neighborhoods in South King County looking for teenage girls to recruit into prostitution was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 10 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release for four criminal counts related to sex trafficking. A jury convicted Nathan Bonds in November 2014 of two counts of sex trafficking of a juvenile and two counts of transportation of a juvenile to engage in prostitution. CRIME

Police Blotter Auburn Police responded to the following calls for service, among many others, between Oct. 27 and Nov. 2:
Oct. 27 Burglary: 9 a.m., 107 W. Main St. Having broken a storage lock, burglars stole items undisclosed from five storage units. Escape: 9:48 a.m., 340 E.

At sentencing U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour said, “This is a serious case involving vulnerable children.” “This defendant preyed on vulnerable teens to enrich himself,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes in a media release. “He preyed on their homelessness, and their emotional and mental health challenges to lure them into prostitution. We thank the law enforcement agencies who work tirelessly to bring defendants such as this one to justice.”
Outlet Collection Way SW. Two pairs of sunglasses disappeared from the Outlet Collection Mall without exchange of greenbacks. Vandalism: 5:01 p.m., 400 block of A Street Northeast. Two boys, their identities and whereabouts at present unknown, spray painted graffiti on the sidewalk in front of a woman’s house. Animal problem: 3:20 p.m., 3502 Auburn Way S.

According to records in the case and testimony at trial, in April 2013, Bonds was parked outside a Kent convenience store when he spotted and befriended a 15-year-old Kent girl who had run away from home. Bonds let the girl borrow his cellphone and then let her sit in his car, out of the rain. Bonds manipulated the girl into accompanying him to a hotel room where he raped her. Over the next few days, Bonds coerced the girl into working for him as a prostitute, convincing her she had
man and woman that their behavior was too odious for the Golden Arches and thus, they needed to absent themselves and stay absent. Theft: 5:18 p.m., 3030 R St. SE. A woman reported her purse stolen from her vehicle, which had been parked in a field used for parking at Game Farm Park. Vandalism: 1:30 p.m., 700 block of 10th Street Northeast. Some yahoos flattened four tires on a vehicle.
Nov. 2 Commercial burglary: Overnight, 25 30th St. NE. Burglars hit a fenced storage yard at a commercial business. Theft: Overnight, 711 E. Main St. A teacher at Auburn High School reported that a student had used a school camera for a class project and a few days later claimed she couldn’t find the camera.
no other options. Bonds advertised the girl on backpage.com and made her give him all of the money she earned from prostitution acts. He also recruited the girl’s 17-year-old friend to work for him as a prostitute. On April 19, 2013, Bonds transported the 15-year-old girl and her 17-year-old friend, as well as a drug-addicted, homeless woman that he had also manipulated into working for him as a prostitute, to Portland to engage in prostitution.
The Auburn man forced the two teens to take sexually explicit photographs, and then used some of those photographs to advertise them on backpage.com. Ultimately, both teens returned to their families, and law enforcement identified Bonds as a sex trafficker. He was arrested June 5, 2013, and law enforcement recovered the computer and cellphone he used to conduct the prostitution business, both of which contained evidence establishing Bonds’ longtime involvement in prostitution.

[ AYR from page 3 ] what is important, she gets that and seems anxious to be a significant advocate for their well being,” Jackson said. “All in all, we are headed in a great direction.” Fuerstenberg previously worked for seven years as executive director of The Arc of King County, an advocacy, education and support organization for people with intellectual and development disabilities, and a leader in disability rights. According to Joshua Brothers, Arc trustee, Fuerstenberg was an “outstanding leader for our organization and a dedicated advocate for our mission and the people and families that we serve.” … She left the organization in a “much better place than when she arrived in 2008,” he added. Fuerstenberg means to help AYR take the next step. The agency is experiencing growing pains at a time of great need and limited federal, state and local financial support. “It’s a challenge. It’s a difficult time to be a nonprofit,” Fuerstenberg said.
Crews begin to demolish the old Liquidation Outlet! building, the last remaining dilapidated storefront on revitalized West Main Street. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter Frostad’s Rexall Pharmacy and the old Charlie Wong building. Private developers Levan Auburn Development, LLC, of Los Angeles, and Iounnou, LLC of Seattle,
purchased the building last spring from Washington Bank. Not just that property, either, they also bought the parking north of the Sun Break Café at 22 A St. SW,
and most of the parking lot east of the cafe. Purchase price: $990,000. The owners of the holdings have not yet filed development plans with the City of Auburn.
“Everybody is rethinking what they’re doing, with their money … all governments have been pulling back their funds really since 2008, ‘09, ‘10. That really hasn’t stopped. “People think the economy has recovered and money is flowing, and that’s not true,” she said. “The needs are greater and the funding streams are changing.” Fuerstenberg plans to do her part, ushering in a new era at AYR behind her strengths as a manager, supervisor and leader. In many ways, Fuerstenberg has come full circle. She began her career in youth and family services, a path partly influenced by her mother, a compassionate leader who was an elementary school teacher and a Head Start program director. But Fuerstenberg went off to school with the intention of becoming an environmental scientist. She spent time in the wilderness, affiliated with a life-andOutward Bound program as an instructor, working with adjudicated, troubled teenagers who had come
out of the court systems of Chicago, St. Louis and East St. Louis. Staff spent time with teens, up to six weeks at a time, in the wilderness as a therapeutic approach to helping them discover themselves and inspire their true strength of character. “From that experience, I decided it wasn’t the science and environment side that I was going for,” Fuerstenberg said, “it was really the social stuff that intrigued and motivated me.” From that point on, Fuerstenberg’s work centered on youth and families. She built an extensive career that took her to Manhattan and Boston, eventually to the Puget Sound area. She came to the Pacific Northwest with a newly minted masters degree in social work in hand, and interviewed for executive director jobs of smaller agencies. She studied management, group work and policy making, and wanted
to make an impact on a larger scale. That opportunity came at the Arc, and now at AYR. Fuerstenberg, a wife and mother of two grown children, took some time to have a hip replaced. She plays the guitar, sings, and enjoys reading, skiing and hiking. She looks forward to leading AYR into a new era at a time of great need. The challenge, she said, is to stay relative in the throes of complex times, changing demographics and few funding streams, and to “be proactive in our change and growth … ways to serve our community better.” It will take a collaborative effort to become more efficient and responsive as an agency, Fuerstenberg said. “We all do this together,” she said. “I’m so excited to be (here) at this time.”

City officials said weeks ago the old Liquidation Outlet! building across from Auburn City Hall would be down in time for Saturday’s Veterans Day Parade. Indeed, by the end of last week, the building at 30 W. Main St., was nothing but a pile of rubble.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Community college: home of the new 4-year degree
MY TURN
Employers in need of well-qualified college graduates or who are struggling to expand the diversity of their work forces should look to local community colleges, home of the new four-year degree. Take Washington state. Fifteen of the state’s 34 community and technical colleges now offer bachelor of applied science degrees. By 2017, that number will increase to 23 colleges. The goal? Help meet Washington’s ambitious goal for increasing the overall number of bachelor’s degrees awarded to 42,400 per year. The rise of bachelor of applied science degrees, which blend general education with advanced, hands-on technical training, should catch the interest of Washington-based employers – from agile startups and established mid-sized companies, to globally-recognized corporations. We’re talking about new, exceedingly diverse pipelines of local talent. Green River College, for example, offers applied baccalaureate programs in software development, network administration and security, marketing and entrepreneurship, and aeronautical science, with forest resource management on the way, all of which target high-demand occupations in need of qualified college grads over the next 10 years. Small class sizes, project-based learning opportunities, flexible day and evening schedules, user-friendly entry requirements, as well as an industry-low cost of attendance, Andy Orr

FROM THE MAYOR I am convening a task force to help us create and activate a comprehensive action plan to reduce homelessness in Auburn. The end product of this task force will be a detailed action plan that we will implement with the help of the task force. I am looking for two residents to complete our task force. The task force will consist of about 15-20 people representative of nonprofits, business, faith community, schools, health providers, veterans, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, residents and more. If you are interested in serving on the task force, please complete an interest survey (surveymonkey. com/r/MayorTaskForce) and let me know. We will have the survey open until Nov. 13. Rest assured, whether you are serving directly on the task force or not we will be seeking input from all of our concerned residents, businesses, churches, agencies and others so your voice will be heard.

Let’s get together, help our homeless I’ve been an Auburn resident for 28 years. I’ve helped our homeless population too many times to count. Homelessness has become so prevalent here. We desperately need collaborative solutions to make Auburn a better and safer community for everyone. Drug addicts, criminals and mentally ill people are not “typical” examples of homelessness. Due to their antics, these groups are just more noticeable. These populations are the neediest, scariest and most difficult to help. Helping them requires so much more than handouts or a call to 911. State level effort is needed and should be provided to find consistent solutions for these populations throughout Washington. Many of our homeless have traversed devastating circumstances. Life is traumatic when you are very poor. We don’t need to be critical or judge them – this tactic is meant only to console selfabsorbed people searching for excuses not to help. As flawed as their lives may be, homeless people are human beings faced with an abysmal plight. We need to be morally responsible for doing whatever we can within our means to help our less fortunate citizens achieve self-sufficiency. I’d like to envision Auburn becoming a front-runner, focused on restoring lives by

We need to create an infrastructure to build selfsufficiency and self-esteem. This infrastructure needs to be established by our community businesses, churches, nonprofits, educators, life coaches, case workers, volunteers, etc. It really will “take a village” working together to have any major impact on our homeless population’s plight. To expand on my vision, I’d like to see someplace like the old drive-in theaters or a large abandoned farm turned into a permanent multi-resource center for the needy. Homeless people that want to use this resource will in return agree to abide by established guidelines, including keeping their children in school and doing some voluntary service work in exchange for the food, clothing, shelter and services.
This resource center should be capable of generating funds to offset the operational costs. I imagine: a large farm developed in Auburn’s fertile valley complete with housing and amenities. People living there could gain beneficial experience using farming and landscaping tools and equipment. They could grow plants and produce to eat and sell for profit. They could prepare meals, operate a coffee stand/ café and open it to the public. Others could do housekeeping chores, run their laundry service, operate a clothing bank and thrift store, sew and make alterations, provide daycare for each other and so forth, finding ways to meet each other’s needs. Teach them basic computer literacy and give them a place to study and develop social skills. Teach them how to budget. These things would help prepare them for many entry level employment opportunities. Desperate people really wanting help would be eager to sign up and thankful for the opportunity, appreciating a safe place to eat, sleep, bathe and do laundry without fear … and if they can gain a few skills, even better. The possibilities are many if we open our hearts and minds to these very real and extensive needs and then respond with enough provisions to complete successful transitions. We are capable of improving their quality of life significantly. The question is, Will we? – Pamela Basquez
www.auburn-reporter.com I had to call the plumber because he had flushed his underwear down the toilet,� di Quattro said. Up and down Main Street, business owners have their own stories to tell. Of people camped out in the B Street Plaza in blankets made into tents and using a barbecue there. What ties the accounts together is this. About a year ago, a new strain of panhandlers began showing up in Auburn. As seen nightly in the Safeway parking lot at 101 Auburn Way S., for example, these new arrivals today amount to about 15 to 20 men in their 20s or 30s. Riding BMX bikes and skateboards, they are aggressive, dogged, and, refusing to take no for an answer, they too often hound people all the way back to their cars. Given the frequency of car break-ins and the discarded needles and drug paraphernalia that began appearing when they started showing up, the common thinking is to link what’s happening there in
[ ORR from page 6 ] make Green River a logical destination for diverse south end students. And students are lining up. Applied baccalaureate programs broaden access to four-year degrees. They don’t require students to relocate, uproot their families, or take on extravagant amounts of debt, and are therefore a magnet for the place-bound, for career changers, for low-income members of the community, for veterans, and underrepresented minorities
some way to the use of illicit drugs. As owner of Creson’s Barber Shop at 222 E. Main St., Cheryl Creson said she has seen plenty through her window. “Customers who ride the bus tell me that just about every day somebody gets off the bus and says, ‘Where’s the library?’ They know to go to the library at Les Gove Park because they know they are going to get food there. And at night they hang out at Safeway and panhandle outside,� Creson said. “They are in our doorways every morning when we come in. There’ll be five to six men in their 20s, some in their 30s. There’s a few women, but I’d have to say by the appearance of the women, most of them have mental problems.� Creson described another phenomenon. “A guy comes in a black Chrysler 300, pulls up on this or the other side of Safeway, and these guys all surround the car on the passenger side window, and he’s handing them little packets with white powder in them. I don’t know what it is. Could be a lot of
things,� Creson said. One City official suggested a possible tie between such activity and a recent uptick in gang activity. Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee said that if what Ms. Creson or others are saying is true, they should call police. Fairly or not, many lump the recent arrivals in with the homeless people who are down on their luck or mentally ill, people who draw compassion from all interviewed for this story. “There are genuinely some people down on their luck,� di Quattro said. “One lady I know comes by, the sweetest lady, and she’s been homeless for three years that I know of, and I will give her a cup of coffee. She almost won’t take it from me, because she’s very proud, but she’s homeless. She needs a place to stay. She needs the community’s help. But then you have those that don’t want the help, they just prefer to do what they’re doing.� “Every city has a problem with homelessness,� said Doug Lien, director of economic development for the
City of Auburn. And of course, that’s true. According to the annual homeless count conducted by the Seattle King County Coalition on Homelessness, as of Jan. 23 and 24 of 2015, there were 10,047 homeless people in King County. Auburn accounted for 132 of them, 54 who were found sleeping in cars or trucks, 10 in city parks, 19 in structures of some kind, four under roadways, 31 in bushes and undergrowth, one at a bus stop, 11 walking around, and two whose situations were not identified. The 2015 count revealed a 21-percent increase in homelessness over 2014. But to Henry Dehoog owner of the Homeplate Pub at 144 E. Main, that’s not the whole story. “We’ve had issues with homelessness in the past, and they subsided. What I would suggest is this last year it has re-intensified. As far as the numbers and the types of people we’re seeing now that are homeless, they are much more aggressive,� Dehoog said. “There are issues with
— the very same audiences, notably, that diversity initiatives from some of our region’s largest employers are aimed at. In short, bachelor of applied science programs are where the diversity is. Green River College is just one example. The reality is much, much bigger. Fifteen colleges offering applied baccalaureate degrees in 2015. Twenty-three colleges by 2017. With the goal of helping Washington state award 42,400 bachelor’s degrees per year. And that’s just Washing-
ton. Twenty-one other states allow community colleges to award bachelor’s degrees, and many administrators believe that number will grow. Thus, we’re experiencing a paradigm shift in higher education, with Washington’s community and technical colleges leading the way. We’re creating the infrastructure needed to award more baccalaureates. Our programs produce
well-rounded, job-ready graduates. And our students? They have diverse backgrounds, come from all walks of life, and aspire to build careers right here in Washington state.

Guier wins second term as Pacific mayor BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
The celebration started as soon as King County Elections released its initial results Tuesday night. Surrounded by friends in a crowded banquet room at the Northwest Brewery Company, Leanne Guier learned that she had retained her role as mayor over challenger Gary
Nitschke. Pacific voters on the King County side of the city cast 363 of 452 counted ballots (80.31 percent) in Guier’s favor. Nitschke held a 5-4 advantage in Pierce County. Guier, a pipe-fitter, has served as Pacific’s mayor since July 2013, when the council unanimously voted to have her serve the remainder of Cy Sun’s term.
That came after residents of the city recalled the controversial Sun. “The citizens of this city … really approve of the direction we’re going,” Guier said. “I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and am looking forward to the next four years.” She said she had worked the last two years to navigate through the City’s
issues that stemmed from losing “key figureheads” during Sun’s tenure – and the challenge to replace them – and with insurance companies to limit Pacific’s “risk” during that era. Now, Guier is hopeful that she can move past that and focus on completing projects, among them equipping City Hall, along with the community center,
COME SEE WHAT
REAL VALUE LOOKS LIKE
gymnasium and shelters with an emergency backup generator. “In the event of flooding, ice storms or anything we’ve had in the past, now we’ll have power,” Guier said. “People will know it’s a safe place to go.” Guier also is focused on several other projects, including the completion of the Interurban Trail through Pacific. Guier said the funding now is in place to finish it. She will navigate through her other objectives with a council that will return five of seven members. The terms for Kerry Garberding (Position 2), Vic Kave (Position 4), Stacey Oliveira (Position 5) and Tren Walker (Position 7) do not expire until 2017. In addition, Katie Garberding (Position 1) ran unopposed. Katie Garberding said she will continue to solicit feedback from residents in person or through other channels – her personal cellphone number is provided on the City’s website – as she works to develop priorities for the City. “I just want people to feel comfortable to come down, be able to voice their concerns and know they will be taken care of,” she said. “I
just look forward to serving the people, and I appreciate the fact that they have the confidence in me to allow me to see it through for another four years. I know I’m running unopposed, but it says a lot to me that people have the trust in me.” Clint Steiger also will retain his Position 5 seat with a 243-202 vote count between King and Pierce counties against challenger Brice Erickson. Steiger could not be reached for comment by press time, but said during an Oct. 15 community forum at the Pacific Community Center Gym that he had worked to secure funding for construction on Stewart Road and also collaborated with Sumner officials to “save” the Valentine Avenue Southeast/136th Avenue East project. While the budget is limited, Steiger said, he would work toward improvements on a section of Milwaukee Boulevard if reelected during that meeting. Only Position 6, where Joshua Putnam did not run for reelection, will feature a change. David Storaasli had a 246-196 advantage between both counties against Don Thomson.

Auburn Mountainview trio advance to state BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR
cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
AUBURN RIVERSIDE ADVANCES IN PLAYOFFS
Auburn Mountainview senior Christian Rotter was not about to let the torrential downpour affect him. He is experienced enough to know better. “They’re the conditions you’ve got to run in,” said Rotter, who finished fourth in 16 minutes, 56.6 seconds during Saturday’s Westside Classic at American Lake to advance to the Class 3A state cross country meet this Saturday at SunWillows Golf Course in Pasco for a fourth consecutive year. “We live in Washington. It’s hard not to expect it this time of the year. You can’t let that get in your way.” Rotter instead focused on strategy as he knew challenging Lincoln’s James Mwaura, who won the event in 16:18.2, would be difficult. “I knew realistically unless I had an amazing day or he wasn’t feeling it that it would be a long shot to get him,” Rotter said.“When he started to take off … the next three or four of us kind of established that group.” In another pack behind him was freshman team-
Four players scored a goal as Auburn Riverside won its Class 3A West Central District girls soccer opener with a 4-1 victory Tuesday against Mount Tahoma at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner. Cierra Enlow, Taylor Smith, Izzy Creighton and Talia Samuelson scored for the Ravens (11-6-0). Auburn Riverside played another loser-out game Thursday against Capital at Mount Tahoma.
Auburn’s Mountainview’s Samantha Goedde finished ninth in 20 minutes, 51.3 seconds during Saturday’s Westside Classic at American Lake Veterans Golf Course to earn a spot at this weekend’s Class 3A state meet in Pasco. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter mate Nick Wolfe, who finished 12th in 17:29.4. The top 30 placers advanced to state.
Auburn Mountainview’s Tim Tubbs, who coaches the program with Julianne Stricherz, said Wolfe has achieved success in spite of “a simple approach” to racing that comes with being new to the sport. Rotter can sympathize. He is committed to playing soccer next year at Western Washington University and considers that his primary sport. Even though he did not compete in cross country until he was a freshman, Rotter advanced to state that year. He saw similar potential in Wolfe. “At the beginning of the year, we knew he was going to be good after the first couple of practices,” said Rotter, adding that he looks forward to mentoring his teammate about the intricacies of the state meet. Rotter and Wolfe will be joined by sophomore Samantha Goedde, who finished ninth in 20:51.3. Lakes’ Tatiana Smith won the 3A girls race in 19:53. “I don’t think Samantha knows how good she is,” Tubbs said. “She just has to believe in herself.”
Goedde finished 93rd in 20:52.04 last year at state, but said she dealt with a side cramp during that race and can improve upon that placement. Rotter, who was 26th in 16:12.46 last year at state, eyes at top-15 finish in this year’s event. That would qualify him for Border Clash, which is the annual showcase of the top high school runners in Washington and Oregon at the 4,387-meter course at the Nike World Headquarters Campus in Beaverton, Ore. Based on experience, Rotter has a specific strategy for state. “You have to get out fast because after that first mile comes in there’s no one that’s going to be jumping 30 to 40 spots,”he said. Rotter has the 19th best time (16:03) in 3A this season. For that reason, Tubbs said Rotter will need a strong race to achieve his goal. “There are a lot of ingredients to success,” he said. “The race just has to make its turn in his favor. He’s right there.”

Lions’ defense helps secure home playoff date BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
Behind an uptempo spread offense, the scoreboard at Auburn Mountainview games sometimes moves as quickly as the dials on a slot machine. But without standout quarterback Gresch Jensen, the Lions had to rely on defense to secure a 21-17 win in their regular-season finale Oct. 29 against Enumclaw at Auburn Memorial Stadium. Junior Bitner Wilson, who rushed for three touchdowns in the first half, intercepted Scott Garvin on first down with the Hornets at the Auburn Mountainview 26-yard line and about 30 seconds left. “The interception just came into my hands,” said Wilson, who had touchdown runs of 5, 9 and 25 yards during the first half. “I was playing for the seniors because this is their last home game. I hope it made their night.” And coach Jared Gervais. He noted that a loss against Enumclaw could have dropped the Lions (7-2 overall, 5-2 league) to fourth place in South Puget Sound League 3A, which would have meant a road playoff game. Instead, he said they will host Meadowdale at 7 tonight. “We could’ve been traveling to Arlington,” Gervais said. “Now we have a home playoff game, which is huge. That’s pretty cool for these kids.” Jensen, who committed

Danny Waltman grew up supporting the Tacoma Stars indoor soccer team in the 1980s and ’90s, before the organization folded, so the Gig Harbor native was excited when the team made its return to the area this year, and even more thrilled for the opportunity to play for the Stars. “This is pretty much the greatest thing that has happened to me as far as my career goes,” the 34-year-old goalkeeper said. Waltman and the Stars will take on the Sacramento Surge in their season opener at 7:35 p.m. Friday at Kent’s ShoWare Center. The Stars replaced the Seattle Impact FC in the Major Arena Soccer
Auburn Mountainview’s football coach Jared Gervais, left, has guided the Lions to the playoffs, where they host Meadowdale at 7 tonight. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter to the University of Montana, was injured during Auburn Mountainview’s Oct. 23 win against Auburn. “That head injury kind of lingered from last week,” Gervais said. “Obviously, we want to be safe with all those kind of things these
days. He didn’t clear the concussion protocol.” Sophomore Talan Alfrey started in place of Jensen, who is expected to return for the playoffs. Alfrey completed 8 of 14 passes for 109 yards. “You’ve got to work around it,” said Wilson, referring to Jensen’s injury. “You can’t just depend on
the guy who is hurt.” Instead, the Lions leaned on Wilson to defeat the Hornets (3-6, 2-5). He rushed for 108 yards on 21 carries. “He played amazing. He’s a great player, he works extremely hard and he’s just a fun kid to coach. I’m happy he was able to have a great night. He deserves it.”

Boeing in Puget Sound:
A Century of Partnership
B
oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone. They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work. Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area. Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region. Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.
In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.
Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives. In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.
Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.
Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support. The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District. Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service. For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide. The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites. Boeing also supports military personnel and families. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month. Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support. With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth
C
hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial airplane market by 2030, creating opportunities worth billions for the Puget Sound region. The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, including apples, cherries, hops and wine. Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing. China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release. Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion by 2034, making them the company’s largest potential customer. While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus. The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the
competition with its Sept. 23 announcement to open a similar facility in China. The company’s 40-year business relationship with China, which helped develop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advantage to come out on top. An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework

for broader investment in U.S. and Chinese economies, according to previous reports. Supporters say, if signed, an agreement with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” according to The Daily Herald. The agreement would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonetheless, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement. With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be reduced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal announced Sept. 23 also involves delivering 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China. Despite the competition and obstacles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamentals as in others: relationships, patience and investment. For Boeing, all three are covered.

Q&A on
Boeing and China Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others - in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.
Q:
What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?
A:
Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.
Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs
T
he Seattle metro area has experienced an impressive 15.5 percent growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a September report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth during that same time period. Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a long-established presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are re-
sponsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employers over the past five years has been directly linked to the addition of thousands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, ensuring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintaining a healthy regional economy.
Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing production and employment in the United States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we produce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes valued at nearly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the entire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.
Q:
The Chinese economy seems to be struggling. Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?
A:
Our forecast for airplane demand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period. We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong growth over the long term.
Q:
What are the factors that determine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?
A:
First and foremost, Boeing has to deliver the best and most fuelefficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business
plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth. This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.
Q:
Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and delivery center in China?
A:
China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chinese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and delivery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese customers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will enable our planned production-rate increases in Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to collaborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.
Q: Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound? A:
No. This facility in China increases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers combined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 production rates on the 737 program in coming years.

In addition to career fairs, information sessions and factory tours, job offers are now presented more quickly to qualified individuals. Once hired, employees participate in a five-day enhanced orientation focused on quality and safety followed by hands-on training with Airplane Programs or Boeing Fabrication. The second wave of more than 30 new hires from high schools and skills centers start the program this month.
“The goal of the Pierce County Skills Center is to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Michelle Ledbetter, director, Pierce County Skills Center in Washington state. “Our aerospace manufacturing students are excited about the opportunity to start their careers in manufacturing at Boeing. These are viable, well-paying jobs with great opportunities for professional development and advancement.” Shevchuk echoed that sentiment. “I’m looking forward to starting my Boeing career and taking on some new challenges. And, at some point, pursue a college degree on the company.”

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning
B
oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million. The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers. Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack
of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education. “This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,” Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.” The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future, officials said. “It allows us to reach more kids, allows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dramatically to reach underserved audiences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s investment. “What we find in our immer-
sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up going into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.” Meanwhile, June Boeing represented her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match. “He cared so deeply about the educational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

Empowering local young people is part of Boeing’s long-standing commitment to giving back to the communities where employees live and work. “Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing is really a special way for us to recognize local students like you who are committed to school, demonstrating leadership, are active in your local communities and are setting a great example for your peers,” Conner said in the video. “That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that the youth-focused organization you are part of has been selected as one of our 2015 Legion of Youth recipients.” During each of the eight regular season games at CenturyLink Field in Se-
attle, 25 young people each will receive four game tickets and the opportunity to meet a former Seahawks player. They also are given concession vouchers and a Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing sweatshirt while at the game. “Legion of Youth is an outstanding program that recognizes students who make positive contributions in the classroom and in the community,” Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin said. “We are pleased to partner with Boeing to provide tickets for deserving youth to be among the 12s on game day at CenturyLink Field.” The Seahawks and Boeing select the community groups that receive the tickets.

Giving Back... Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.
Mary’s Place increases its reach
The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.
$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity
EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community. GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.
Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand
SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for homeless women. Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigerators replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support additional night shelters.
$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.
SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, oneday event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medical screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

...obituaries Robert Neil (Coach) Stone Bob passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, October 26, 2015 at the age of 86. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be missed dearly. He was born in Snoqualmie, Washington February 14, 1929. He spent the early part of his youth in Westfir, Oregon before returning to the Seattle area at the age of eight. He began his high school years at Garfield before transferring to and graduating from Highline High School in Burien. After high school he enrolled in the United States Navy and spent four years stationed in San Diego. While in the Navy he was noted for his athletic prowess, and based on a recommendation from a close friend, he subsequently enrolled at Western Washington University. While at Western he played four years on the basketball team, being named captain the last two years. He also met an attractive young coed named Beverly Pitner, and after a short courtship they were married on April 12, 1952. They were married for 63 years. After graduating from Western in 1955, the young couple moved to Auburn, Washington where he began a long career as an educator and coach in the Auburn School district. He moved to Auburn High School in 1960 where he remained until his retirement in 1985. He was a history and physical education teacher and coached a variety of sports, including basketball, where he made his reputation as a highly successfully junior varsity coach, and later as the head coach, twice leading teams to the state tournament. Upon retirement he spent many years working at Longacres and Emerald Downs race tracks. He also was a loving grandfather of Tara and Tyler and could be seen at countless sporting events, plays, ballet recitals and other activities. Bob was an avid golfer and loved playing with friends and family. He was a dedicated follower of local sports teams and, in particular, his beloved Western Vikings. He also loved poker and played frequently even in the last few months of his life.

Andrew Nowland Harron
August 11, 1924 to October 24, 2015 Andy was born in Los Angeles California, son of Andrew John Harron
and Adaline Scheler Harron. He was preceded in death by his parents and four siblings, Leroy, Pearl, Pat and Beatrice. As a member of the “Great Generation,” he joined the Army-Air Force at age 18.While training as an Air Force Cadet in Meadville, PA, he met his future wife, Janet Marie Whipple. After being promoted to Sergeant, he was honorably discharged as a disabled Vet after three years of service. Andy and Janet then settled in the Los Angeles area where Andy used the G.I. Bill to get his business degree. Because of his love of people, Andy became an extraordinary salesman. He worked for the Tappan Appliance Company for 32 years, managed up to 17 states, and was consistently a top salesman in the company. In 1959, Andy and Janet moved to Portland, OR with their two children, Linda and Tom.Their daughter, Laura was born there in 1960. In 1963, Andy moved his family to Bellevue, Washington. As a highly skilled and passionate fisherman, he discovered Alaska where he came to love the beauty of the wilderness. He returned to Alaska every summer for 50 years to fish for salmon primarily in Yakutat, where he developed close friendships with the local residents there. He was thankful to have made his final trip to this beloved place with Laura and her husband Stephen this last August. Andy and Janet have been living in Auburn for the last eight years and have treasured the friendships they have made here. Andy shared love, great stories, and humor with all he met. He leaves a legacy of integrity, honesty, humor, and love for his friends and surviving family members: his wife Janet of almost 71 years, children Linda (Pete), Tom (Elli) and Laura (Stephen), five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Family was the most important thing in Andy’s life; he adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and he will be greatly missed by all of us! Andy left this world for his next great adventure surrounded by loved ones. He lived a full and happy 91 years, spreading laughter and love wherever he went! A service with military honors will be held followed by a celebration of life attended by family members. In lieu of flowers, Andy’s family suggests donating to a cause close to his heart: preserving Pacific Northwest salmon habitat for present and future generations. You can contact Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition at www.wildsalmon.org or call them at 206-300-1003.

I just really believe in giving back. I was raised that way, and it’s really important to me,” Beyersdorf said of his contributions. For Natale Stella, 67, of Bonney Lake, the Auburn Sons of Italy is a special, tight-knit group willing to lend a hand. “When there’s something the community needs, our organization has always responded,” said Stella, who served in the Navy and did two tours of duty during the Vietnam War era aboard the carriers USS Enterprise and USS Ranger. Stella was 5 when he immigrated from Italy to the U.S. in 1953, one of five children. He went to school, learned the language and eventually joined the Navy as a way to get an education and learn a skill. After he fulfilled his service, Stella became a U.S. citizen, established roots in the Pacific Northwest and worked 36 years on diesel locomotives for Burlington Northern. Stella has never forgotten his native country, and today continues to serve the community and be a part of the

Veterans awards to be given in Auburn FOR THE REPORTER
Several Washington residents will be honored Saturday with Outstanding Service to Veterans Awards for their contributions to Washington State’s veterans and their families during the past year. The awards – cosponsored each year by the Governor’s Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee (VAAC) and the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs – recognize individuals who devote time and energy to improving the lives of Washington’s veterans. The awards are presented at a special luncheon in Auburn, following the awardees participation in the City’s annual Veterans Day Parade. Parade starts at 11 a.m. and luncheon begins at 1:30 p.m. The 2015 Outstanding Service to Veterans are: • Donna Lowery • Sharon Kirkpatrick • Sen. Christine Rolfes D-Kitsap County • Rep. Dick Muri, RSteilacoom
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 1741, Auburn, has been chosen as an All-American Post for the second time and was recognized at the VFW national convention in Pittsburgh. Post 1741 earned All-American Status under the command of Bill Peloza (2011-2012), far right, kneeling, front row, and Frank Bannister (201415), front row, next to Peloza. The group photo includes Vietnam era veterans. Jon Quackenbush, far left, second row, was the Post quartermaster for both awards and deserves much of the credit, according to Bannister. Only 2 percent of the 6,800-plus Posts worldwide earn the yearly distinction, Bannister said. “It takes a great deal of community support and participation in numerous VFW programs,” Bannister said. “Post 1741 set its sights on All-American status for the second time back in June 2014, as part of its plan to honor the City of Auburn for the excellent work City leaders do to make Auburn a vet-friendly city.” Post 1741 members are scheduled to march in Saturday’s 50th Auburn Veterans Day Parade.
