Emily Dunham finds comfort and completion in a workplace without parallel – the operating room. Being a part of a surgical team, the young nurse says, brings out the best of her skills. Recently, the Auburn woman pitched into an international relief effort, aboard a floating hospital
docked half a world away. Feeling the itch to see and meet new people, to experience fresh places and things, Dunham decided to do what she had always wanted to do – volunteer overseas. So, she saved her money, left her Seattle apartment and her job at Harborview Medical Center, where she had worked for three years in the OR, [ more NURSE page 8 ]

Representatives were, from left: Lance Newkirk (Public Works manager, City of Pacific; John Vodopich, AICP (Transportation Improvement Board); Clint Steiger (Pacific City Councilmember); Steve Gorcester (executive director, Transportation Improvement Board); Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier; Daniel Clark (construction manager, KPG); and Bill Brookhart (Public Works lead, City of Pacific).

[ PROJECT from page 1 ] contract was increased to $3.3 million to complete the project. Officials gathered at the intersection of Stewart and Thornton Avenue for a ribboncutting ceremony Dec. 16 to celebrate the completion of the project. “This project has been in the works for many years, and it is great to see it completed,” said Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier. “This is one of the most significant projects that we have taken on in recent years. The new road configuration will help ease congestion while improving traffic and pedestrian
safety and provide better access to businesses throughout the area. We thank all of our funding partners who helped make this project possible and give a special thanks to the area businesses and residents for their patience during construction.” The project included the following improvements: • One new through lane of traffic in each direction between State Route 167 and Valentine Avenue • Dedicated turn lane between Thornton and Valentine Avenues • New pervious sidewalk along the south side of the road
• A new 10-foot separated bike-pedestrian path on the north side of the road • A new traffic signal at Thornton Avenue • New street lighting on both sides of the road • Upgrading and replacing a water main • Stormwater drainage improvements • New landscaping Funding for the project came from several sources: Transportation Improvement Board; Public Works Board; Gordon Trucking Incorporated; Pierce County; and the City of Pacific.
Shortly after noon last Friday, a darkhaired young woman is chatting at the counter with Addie Horn, manager of the café half of The Green River Cyclery and Busted Bike Café. Lauren, paying her first visit to the new business, is grooving on the goodies and the vibe, at this moment a melding of a latte on the cusp of full foamery and the whine of a power tool over bike gears “This place is great,” Lauren said. “My husband is a cyclist, I’m not. I’m here for the coffee.” Kayla Forsberg, co-owner with husband, Josef, said business is brisk in the little shop on the southwest corner of the Trek Apartment building at 8 South Division. It opened on Dec. 5 “I’ve been so pleasantly surprised with how well it’s done, and people have had such great responses to all the products that we have,” said Horn, who sports a colorful “Halleluja” tattoo on her right arm. Here customers may not only buy bicycles, get their rides repaired and pick up bike-related accessories but also sip coffee, eat sandwiches and salads, sample beer and wine and plug in and work on their laptops.

Man accused of recording woman using toilet at college appears in court BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The case of a Kent man allegedly caught trying to record with his cellphone a woman using a bathroom stall at Green River College on Oct. 1 continues to wind its way through the legal system. According to a spokesperson for the King County Prosecutor, 37-year-old Anthony Lee Smith appeared in court on Tuesday, Dec. 22 in Seattle. Here is what happened, according to court papers. At about noon on Oct. 1, a woman called 911 to report that five minutes earlier a male had been in the bathroom taking pictures. Soon after that report, a school security officer notified 911 that

he was detaining a man for taking pictures in a women’s restroom, but that the man was not cooperating. Auburn Police responded to the school and arrested the man. According to the police report, Smith told detectives he’d entered the bathroom and sat in a stall for about two minutes before taking out his cellphone and reaching under the stall divider – however, he said, he had never hit the record button. According to the police report, the woman told police she’d seen the screen of the cellphone and noticed its recording function was on. The woman screamed and confronted Smith. Court records say Smith was on probation at the time for violation of a protection order and had been arrested for other probation violations and for gang tagging.
A particular favorite with patrons, a generous portion of them employees of nearby City Hall, is the Stumptown Coffee, served up hot or cold. “They like the coffee and they really like the sandwiches and salads we get from Molly’s,” Kayla said. “We even have some vegan options, which is great for any vegans in Auburn, which, apparently, there are.” The cyclery’s focus is on urban-, commuter-, touring-, and mountain-style bikes, with high-end road bikes thrown in for good measure.

COMMENTARY
“Have you donated money or items to charities this holiday season?”
Reen Doser
?
Question of the week:
Our public schools rely on more than 25,000 paraeducators – school employees who work under the supervision of teachers in the classroom – in all facets of education, especially in programs designed for at risk students. Yet paraeducators receive virtually no training from the state, and there are no state standards for who may be hired. That is troubling. Our most vulnerable students should be taught by highly-trained professionals. Every student should have that right. That’s just common sense. Next year there will be proposed legislation in Olympia to solve this problem, and your representative, Pat Sullivan, D-Covington (District 47), will be critical in that debate. SB 5179 will solve the problem by creating a system of licensing and minimum standards for paraeducators, a training program, and a career ladder. It will also require more training for teachers in how to supervise paraeducators. SB 5179 is supported by Superintendent Randy Dorn and is based on the work and recommendations of the Paraeducator Standards Workgroup; an expert panel created by the legislature. This bill passed the Senate last year, but stalled in the House because some wanted to refer the issue to another group for more study. We don’t need more studies. We don’t need more delays. We need to move forward now to make sure our kids are being taught by professionals who have been well trained. Paraeducators provide more than half of all instructional time to kids who are struggling and need extra help. In our state and federal programs designed for students who are at risk of dropping out, or don’t speak English as their first language, more than half of all instructional hours are being provided

King County just a few years ago wasn’t even half of that, about 60 percent.� None of the success would have been possible, Morgan noted, without the 76,887 hours volunteers have put in cleaning kennels and cages, feeding and caring for cats, walking and training dogs, greeting customers, answering phones, providing foster care, doing mobile and off-site adoptions, helping at the AVHS Thrift Store that opened a year and a half ago and helping at fundraisers and other events.
toys), enlist the aid of a professional trainer. Leash walking. If your dog pulls or lunges when you take him for walks, make this a priority. Be consistent with your commands and expectations. A basic obedience class can help you find the techniques that work best for your dog. Something new. Dogs, like people, love to learn new things.
None of this was true just a few short years ago. For decades, Auburn contracted with the King County Animal Shelter to shelter its homeless animal population: In 2010, however, budget shortfalls forced KCAC to substantially jack up the contract cost and cut services to the City. Auburn residents were on the verge of losing community animal control services and control of their financial future and quality of the care for pets. Local veterinarians and residents formed the hu-

mane society to address the needs of the local animal population and shelter management. For the next several decades, it would partner with the City to provide licensing services, a shelter facility, and an animal control officer. The AVHS became a recognized 501c3, nonprofit organization in March 2011. All Auburn veterinary clinics and 17 members of the community put it together. A building was found at 4910 A St. SE and a remodeling plan was secured with the City.
Operational budgets were established and endorsed by the partnering humane society. On Sept. 19, 2011, the City entered into a professional service agreement with the AVHS. The City agreed to pay the AVHS $240,000 a year – to provide sheltering and licensing sales for the lost and abandoned animals for the City. The agreement runs until Dec. 31, 2019 and has a seven-year option to continue the services. “We’re looking very happily forward to continuing our relationship,� Morgan said.

The effort infuses hope and heals the poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwide, one nation at a time. For nine weeks, Dunham handed scalpels and retractors, clamps and forceps, to doctors from other nations. English was the working language, interpreters the vital voice between doctors and patients. Many of the surgeries were life-changing operations such as cleft lip and palate repair, cataract removal, orthopaedic procedures, plastics surgery, maxillofacial reconstruction, and obstetric fistula repair. The work was steady, rewarding. “We worked hard and put in a lot of hours, but it’s work I enjoy,â€? Dunham said. “It was amazing how well we were able to work together because everyone does everything a little bit different at home, but everyone was giving something to be there ‌ great teamwork.â€?
[ NURSE from page 1 ] for a change of scenery and adventure. “I love culture and travel,â€? said Dunham, 25, a graduate of Auburn Mountainview High School and the University of Washington School of Nursing. “I wanted to take my skills where they were needed. ‌ I wanted to help people overseas some day, those who don’t have access to care.â€? On her own dime and time, Dunham worked with an all-volunteer, international team assigned to the good ship, Africa Mercy, one of the world’s largest private hospital vessels. The ship, which sat in port off Madagascar, a large, rugged island nation off Africa’s southeast coast, accommodated a staff of 400 volunteers from more than 40 nations. Ever since 1978, Mercy Ships, a global charity, has operated a fleet of hospital ships in developing nations.
The experience gave Dunham a deeper appreciation for and an understanding of what many Americans have, and what other struggling nations do not – fundamental health care and education. Dunham saw how diseased and afflicted Malagasy are shunned and deserted, and how a basic, cosmetic surgery can change a person’s disposition and impact their outlook on life. She and her patients shared the unforgettable healing process and stories. “Being there, I realized how these people are exactly the same as me, same as my family, my loved ones, and yet they are living with this disease that can cause them to become a social outcast, or they can’t function,� Dunham said. “It was really eye opening to see how much it affects their lives. It just made me realize I want to keep doing this. I want to keep helping people

because, in my mind, that could so easily be me, born in a country where I didn’t have access (to health care). “It was amazing to be a part of something and give people a normal life.� Dunham said. “I have huge respect for them, how they became normal people again. They were inspiring. “I discovered a love for people I didn’t know I was capable of,� she added. “It was incredible to be walking alongside and interacting with these people. They are the most wonderful, grateful
and strongest people I’ve met.� A surgical nurse needs certain qualities to excel, and Dunham has them. “Nurses are either drawn to the OR or they’re not,� she said. “I just found my home in the OR, and I love it. I love working right along the surgeons. I like that you get to see so much. I like the responsibility that comes with it. You really are the eyes and ears of your patient because they are under anesthesia, and they can’t talk or speak up for themselves.
You really have to have that trusting relationship with your OR nurse.� Given the chance, Dunham would return for another volunteer mission or travel nurse assignment. For now, she is back home, looking for work and a chance to help change people’s lives for the better. “It was hard to leave,� she said of the overseas experience. “It’s like a family. You develop these relationships with those you work with.�

PAIR OF LIONS HEADED TO WESTERN OREGON Auburn Mountainview standout Ryan Lacey announced Dec. 17 via Twitter that he verbally committed to play basketball next season at Western Oregon University. Lacey, who is aiming to become the first Auburn Mountainview boys basketball player to score 1,000 career points this season, will be joined at WOU by teammate Tristan Miguel, who signed with the program earlier this month. The 6-foot-10, 220-pound Miguel averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game last season. The 6-3 Lacey averaged 18 points per game last season for the Lions. His older brother, JJ, a 2013 Auburn Mountainview graduate, plays basketball at George Fox University in Oregon.

Auburn’s ‘Feast Mode’ returns home BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
Seattle has “Beast Mode.” Cleveland has “Feast Mode.” Or, as the latter is known to the more than 20 friends and family who watched him Sunday at CenturyLink Field, Danny Shelton. The 6-foot-2, 339-pound Auburn High School and University of Washington graduate returned to the area where he spent most of his life to start at defensive tackle during the Browns’ 30-13 loss against the
Seahawks. Shelton finished with seven tackles. “It’s awesome,” Shelton said during a phone interview last Friday. “It’s everything I could wish for. Playing in the NFL and starting. Being able to come back to Seattle and see my family is everything I could’ve wanted.” It has been another difficult season for Cleveland. The Browns’ 3-11 record is tied for the worst mark in the NFL, and coach Mike Pettine’s job security has been questioned by several media outlets. Cleveland
has lost double-digit games in a season 13 times since the Browns’ franchise was resurrected in 1999. But Shelton said he doesn’t think about that. “Not at all,” he said. “We’re a team. We obviously haven’t had the season we wanted. They’ve learned to block everything out. We’re really just focused on playing (Seattle) and winning every week.” Shelton, who was the No. 12 overall selection in April out of the UW, instead is focused on fulfilling his potential.
“It’s the NFL,” he said. “It’s everything I ever wished for. I always dreamed of playing in the league. This is where I was chosen to be and this is where I’m going to set my legacy. I know it’s going to take time, but this is how it is.” Shelton hopes to accomplish that through a draft class surrounded by familiarity. He was the first of seven players Cleveland selected from Pac-12 programs. Two of those players – Nate Orchard (Utah) and Xavier Cooper (Washington State) – play
on the defensive line with Shelton. “This team is filled with some top-notch Pac-12 guys,” Shelton said. It also has led to some banter. Shelton said Orchard, who lives in his neighborhood, teamed up with another Utah alum, Paul Kruger, and talked trash after the Utes defeated the Huskies in November. Shelton said he and kicker Travis Coons, who also played at UW, similarly had fun with Cooper after the [ more SHELTON page 11 ]

Realignment could impact Auburn high schools BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
Three Auburn high schools appear entrenched in the 3A classification. But that does not mean they will be there when the 2016-17 school year begins. Rob Swaim, athletic director for the Auburn School District, said his schools could remain in 3A or “opt up” to 4A. “There’s pros and cons with each,” Swaim said. “It would be nice for proximity purposes to be back with our Kent schools. We’ve been late to a few of our contests because of traffic. It’s brutal.” Swaim, who expects to have more clarity on the issue when the South Puget Sound League athletic directors meet Jan. 5, said some of the uncertainty relates to the tenuous future of the Narrows League. The (Peninsula) Gateway first reported Dec. 10 that Gig Harbor likely would reclassify and join rival Peninsula in SPSL 3A.
That change alone would not affect the composition of the eightteam league because Sumner is expected to move to 4A. But the five Tacoma Public Schools, which, along with Bellarmine Prep and South Kitsap, are charter members of the Narrows from 1979, could be mulling a move to the SPSL, according to Swaim. Tacoma Public Schools athletic director Sam Reed could not be reached for comment. “Everyone in the West Central District are waiting for someone else to make a move,” Swaim said. “The rumors are just ridiculous right now.” If the Tacoma Public Schools and Gig Harbor join the SPSL, the Narrows would have a maximum of 10 teams between its 3A and 4A divisions. In 2011, South Kitsap athletic director Ed Santos said six members in the 4A Narrows was too small to remain a viable league. That supplied the impetus for South Kitsap and four others – Bellarmine Prep, Central
Kitsap, Gig Harbor and Olympia – to seek admission to the SPSL. The league’s 4A division stabilized at the time when Yelm moved from 3A. Swaim said he hopes to learn those Narrows schools’ plan before ASD officials decide which classification they want to belong to. All three Auburn high schools have competed together in SPSL 3A since 2014 and Swaim said a top priority is to keep those programs in the same league. “We’ve really enjoyed being together,” he said. “It’s nice that we’re all together now. We want to all stay together.” The next consideration, Swaim said, is to minimize instructional time lost through travel and transportation expenses. Schools with the top 16 to 17 percent enrollment are recognized as 4A. But the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s preliminary number could fluctuate if smaller schools elect to play in a larger classification.
In that case, Swaim said one of the smaller SPSL 3A schools, such as Bonney Lake or Enumclaw, could move down to 2A when the WIAA certifies its numbers. Swaim said Bonney Lake (971.72) had the smallest enrollment based on the latest figures he had seen, while Enumclaw (974.75) was second from the bottom. Those numbers, he said, are based on the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s freshman through junior enrollment count during the 2014-15 school year and this year’s numbers for students in 10th through 12th grade from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1. But Swaim cautioned some schools have appealed those numbers with the hope that they can avoid a move to a larger classification. Based on the latest count, Swaim said Auburn (1,202.75) was the largest high school in the district, followed by Auburn Riverside (1,179.16) and Auburn Mountainview (1,095.09).
Auburn Riverside’s Maddy Thompson and her teammates likely will continue to compete against Auburn and Auburn Mountainview in the future, according to school district athletic director Rob Swaim. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

[ SHELTON from page 9 ] Huskies’ Apple Cup win. While Shelton, who was born in Sacramento, Calif., grew up as a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, he also came to appreciate some Seahawks, such as former linebacker Lofa Tatupu, and respects the franchise’s accomplishments during the last decade. Shelton, who has 33 tackles this year, said he already knows where his greatest growth needs to occur during the offseason
That is because Shelton was with his brothers, Gaston and Shennon, during a confrontation in 2011. Shennon was fatally shot. A bullet hit Gaston in the chest. “Every day I always have time to think and reflect on my life,” he said. “I always think of how he would feel in this situation. Being able to come back home, I feel close to my brother because he’s buried in Auburn.” It is just one reason “Feast Mode” often has his hometown on his mind.

by paraeducators, not teachers. In just the completed 2014-15 school year, Title 1, bilingual and special education students received over 18 million hours of instruction from paraeducators. The opportunity gap facing these students is a real problem in Washington state. There’s a significant gap in achievement between different racial groups, and one out of five of these students is dropping out. We can, and must, do better. Our students deserve our best. It’s time to create professional standards and a training program for paraeducators. By making paraeducators true professionals, we will create a system in which
teachers supervise highly trained educators. Promoting the use of paraeducators will also help lower class sizes by putting more adults in our classrooms. At the end of the day, our students are the ones that benefit. School districts need additional tools and resources to bridge the opportunity gap and improve student instruction. The cost to develop the standards, training, and career ladder will be minimal in comparison with what the state currently spends to try and close the opportunity gap. By licensing paraeducators, we are enabling them to be the bridge between parent and community expectations and student achievement. By helping to bridge the opportunity gap, they are giving every student the best chance to succeed.

There are state standards not only for a teaching certificate but also to drive a bus or operate a boiler. The state should be equally concerned that those providing instruction meet quality standards. If we don’t create these standards for instruction now, we will never close the opportunity gap and lower the dropout rate. Again, your Representative is critical to this issue.

Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots. He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging.
