Former Algona police officer charged with theft from youth programBY SHAWN SKAGER

King County prosecutors on Tuesday charged a former Algona police officer with first-degree theft and abuse of office for allegedly stealing from a multi-city Police Explorer program for youth.

According to charging papers issued by King County Superior Court, former Lt. Lee Gaskill will be arraigned Aug. 17 at the King County Re-

gional Justice Center in Kent.Court papers order Gaskill

not to communicate with any employees of the Algona Police Department, the City of Algona, any members, officers and direc-tors of the South Valley Police Explorer program and all wit-nesses listed in the case.

By year’s end the City of Auburn expects to launch the process of switching its 14,000 water utility custom-ers to the automated system. It should take about 2 to 2½ years for the vendor to install the hardware and

project, there will soon be 300-500 new residents downtown.

“It’s a testament to who we are that we are build-ing a vibrant – and this is really important – multi-generational downtown. It’s for everyone,” Mayor Nancy Backus said at the ground-breaking last spring.

In 2007, the Economic Development Adminis-tration awarded the City of Auburn a $2.2 million federal grant and a $7.2

million local revitalization bond to upgrade streets, sidewalks and utilities to support such construction downtown.

Teutsch Partners LLC, the Seattle-based real estate development firm that owns the block, is going to build for Merrill Gardens a four-story retirement community, offering 111 assisted-living and 16 mem-ory-care apartments.

Merrill Gardens will di-vide its 168,331 square feet of space between a below-grade parking level and

three stories of memory-care units above ground, a mixture of one-bedroom, one-bath studio and two-bedroom, two-bath apart-ments.

Teutsch Partners, LLC, is a privately-owned, region-ally-focused, commercial real estate services and development company.

According to its website, Merrill Gardens, a private-ly-owned, family-run com-pany, owns and operates 21 senior living communities in four states, with a focus on lifestyle.

software and replace the meters.

Citing the need for ad-ditional information about the changeover, the City Council had delayed for at least two weeks entering into the contract with Ferguson Water Works of Kirkland.

City officials say it will be a much more efficient way of collecting real-time, water-usage data that will help the City better manage its water resources and its customers better manage their own water use, so they can conserve, save money, identify new problems that they have and be better stewards of the environment.

The upshot is that, excepting rare occasions, when its all done, the City will no longer dispatch personnel to physically read meters. Instead, in a box next to the customer’s water meter, the vendor will install a small radio and its transmitter to send real-time water-use data to several anten-nae. These broadcast the information to a central-ized server. From there, the data makes its way to the City’s customer service

department for water-use analysis and billing.

Ironically, the change-over does not call for any shiny-new, 21st century technology, but a practical, tried-and-tested approach to asset management that provides qualitative and quantitative benefits. On the qualitative side, the new system promises to be much more efficient, provide better customer service and offer more real-time data.

The initial outlay won’t be cheap. And it will take 20 years to pay for itself.

On the other hand, City officials say there’s a lot of bang for the buck to go around:

• The City gets a more consistent revenue flow;

• When the changeover is complete customers may monitor their own water use on a City webpage; they will no longer have to wait for a meter reader to reveal a costly leak they didn’t know about.

• A cut in costs for the City, which will no longer have to send meter readers out;

• More efficient billing for the City, and real time, unauthorized-water-use detection capabilities;

• And the City gets help

in its efforts to conserve water.

“But we expect a return on the investment within 20 years,” Utilities Manager Lisa Tobin said recently. “And those are just the things that are hard numbers that we can quantify. There are intan-gibles that are priceless: in the level of customer service; in the amount of information we’ll be col-lecting; and in our being able to better manage our resources so we can plan future capital improve-ment projects based on our actual customers’ data. That’s information that we don’t currently have, and it will help us do our jobs much more efficiently.”

The City sold bonds in 2013 to pay for the initial implementation segment of this project, so there will be no rate increases.

The changeover will be accomplished in stages. In 2016 the vendor will do the first half of the cus-tomer meters and in 2017 the other half.

Puget Sound Energy has used the same system for 15 years. The City of Renton is a more recent customer.

interfere with orderly completion of the investi-gation by shredding large amounts of documents and removing other documents from his office after learn-ing of the administrative investigation (by the City of Algona),” the charging papers state.

Additionally, charging papers allege that Gaskill “wiped” his iPad, thereby destroying any retrievable data, and that “at least one witness was instructed by Mr. Gaskill not to cooperate with the investigation.”

The charges surprised Gaskill’s attorneys, Jim David and Alan Harvey of Northwest Legal Advocates, LLC. In their email reply to a request for comment on Tuesday, the two said that they had just learned from the media about the formal charges against their client.

Gaskill resigned from the

Algona Police Department on April 24, rather than face possible termination at a Loudermill hearing conducted by the City. A Loudermill hearing is part of the due process require-ment that must be provided a police officer before a firing or the imposition of discipline.

In a resignation letter delivered to Algona Mayor Dave Hill at the hearing, Gaskill said that he was resigning because he felt he was being denied due process in the employment proceedings.

An independent inves-tigator hired by the City wrapped up her work in April.

“The findings were that the accusations were sustained on three instances and exonerated on two oth-ers,” Hill said, declining to elaborate.

Gaskill allegedly took $7,000 from the fund,

according to the affidavit of probable cause, the document on which the prosecutor has based the charges.

Among the unauthorized purchases Gaskill allegedly made using the Explorer’s fund credit cards were: $43.70 at a gun store for a 20-round handgun magazine (Explorers are not issued guns); $426.01 at Fry’s Elec-tronics for a home theater speaker system; $71 at the Daffodil Bowl in Puyallup; $95 at a gas station; $104.27 at Blumenthal’s Uniform for brass insignia for chief of police; and $337.58 at Costco for a HO Sports Delta 3 Tow-able (an inflatable boating recreational device used to tow people behind a power boat).

According to warrant paperwork, authorities suspect Gaskill made many more purchases, among them unauthorized pur-chases at “numerous res-

taurants, doughnut shops, gas receipts and department stores.”

Additionally, after being informed he was being investigated in February, Gaskill – through his at-torney – notified investiga-tors that they could pick up Police Explorer-related items at his house.

Algona Police Officers then went to Gaskill’s house where they collected from Gaskill’s wife a popcorn maker, a hot dog bun warmer and cooker and four cashiers checks total-ing $19,206, all written in February after the inves-tigation began, and made payable to the South Valley Explorers, with the remitter listed as Lee J. Gaskill.

Gaskill served nine months as Algona’s interim police chief and had been involved in the Pacific, Algona and Sumner Police Explorers since its forma-tion in 2008.

Unfortunately, Se-attle Congressman Jim McDermott (D) was correct earlier this year when he said Canada’s West Coast ports are “eating our lunch!”

Washington and British Columbia are blessed with deep-water seaports that are closer to Asian markets than

are those in California, the Gulf states and our nation’s eastern seaboard. There is a rich trade tradition in the Northwest, and for many years, the ports of Seattle and Tacoma were preferred by shippers because they could move large volumes of cargo

rapidly.However, things have changed,

and the pace of those changes will accelerate in the years ahead. The gap will widen if our state and fed-eral governments don’t address criti-cal infrastructure needs – highways, ports, harbors, railroads and security – and expedite permitting.

Here’s why.Last year, ocean-going cargo con-

tainers grew by 11 percent at Prince Rupert, British Columbia as shipping

companies sought the fastest route to move goods to and from Asia. Even though Prince Rupert, the deepest natural seaport in the Northwest, is 1,000 miles by road north of Seattle, it is 68 hours closer to Shanghai by boat than Los Angeles.

By contrast, cargo volume at the Port of Seattle dropped 26 percent from 2010 to 2013; the Port of Tacoma’s volume is unchanged since 2008.

Preventing gang activity, giving youth the future they deserve

Criminal street gangs are a serious burden

in Central and South King County.Gang violence is not a new phenomenon

and needs to be addressed. The most fertile ground for the spread of gangs is the hearts and minds of our youth.

At a young age, our most vulnerable children are making decisions that could lead them to a lifetime of violence and criminal behavior. In order to address the problem, we must look to prevention and early interven-

tions.Gangs

recruit using the need for belong-ing and guidance, thriving on

a lack of social structure and support in chil-dren’s lives. They give young men and women a sense of identity and a feeling of power, however false it may be.

Research shows the most vulnerable chil-dren are from communities of color, in high poverty areas, and surrounded by violence or substance abuse. The symptoms of gang activ-ity are crime, but the illness is social and must be cured as a community.

A diverse coalition of state, city, law en-forcement and local leaders came together around a plan of action to make prevention and early intervention a priority in this year’s budget. With their support and guidance we secured $1 million for gang intervention targeted at vulnerable youth, garnering the backing needed in the House and Senate to make it a reality.

This investment builds on work that started in 2012 to provide gang intervention grant funding to organizations with a successful and proven record of striking at the roots of gang activity. Street outreach workers who do the difficult work of intervention need reliable funding to maintain a sustained effort to

More spending enhances education

Ouch! Why was Liv Finne of the ultra-conservative Wash-ington Policy Center given top billing as a guest commentary? Her article, “More spending in schools doesn’t necessarily improve learning” (Auburn Reporter, July 31) was chock-full of incorrect information. Mainly it was a very political hit piece against teachers, prin-cipals, unions and the educa-tion system in general.

First-graders with 18 in a classroom do learn to read bet-ter than those with 28 in their classroom. And that does cost money.

She complains about teach-ers getting raises, the first since before the recession started. Tutors, para-educators, decent supplies, computers, all make a big difference to struggling students.

For our kids’ sake, please let us keep the politics out of education.– Wanda Granquist

Bill is way too highI live in Auburn and recently

received my monthly water

bill. Obviously, I’m voicing my complaint about the high cost of water in Auburn.

My bill has consistently been going up year after year and month after month. My biggest gripe is that everyone in Au-burn has to pay a water base, a city sewer base, a King County sewer base and a stormwater fee each and every month, as well as the water consumption itself.

It’s getting to the point where folks won’t be able to afford to pay their City of Auburn bill.

When I address our mayor on this subject I always get the same idiotic explanation. I have actually suggested that maybe she and the council brainstorm to come up with an answer on how to lower or off-set our bills in some way and possibly negotiate with King County to lower their charges.

regulating America’s in-ternational ocean trans-portation system, reports that roughly 87 percent of the containers received in Prince Rupert were hauled by rail to the U.S., mostly to Midwest states.

As more and more bulk cargo, such as wheat, coal, potash and refined petro-leum, is shipped overseas, those products are leaving the docks in British Colum-bia, not Washington and Oregon. That problem will worsen if planned U.S. proj-ects continue to languish in the permit approval process as Canada expedites build-ing new terminal capacity.

The bottom line is the growing volume of bulk cargo passing through Washington by rail won’t stop here. Those products and the jobs and economic opportunities will continue to shift north of the border.

Last December, the Wall Street Journal reported that port congestion at the Seattle and Tacoma ports, labor tensions at U.S. West

Coast docks, and America’s container tax spurred ship-ping companies to look to Canada’s ports.

While Congress and our state legislature debated needed highway and road funding, the Canadian gov-ernment spent $1.22 billion (U.S.) over the past decade to improve rail and road access and boost inspection capacity. The provincial gov-ernments and private sector sources kicked in another $2 billion.

Canadian National Rail-way Co. has invested nearly $3 billion since 2010 to cut travel times along its west-ern corridor and has added new container terminals in Illinois and Wisconsin to receive Midwest-bound goods.

Meanwhile, our federal harbor maintenance tax, which shippers say costs anywhere from $25 to $500 per container, is crippling American ports. The Federal Maritime Commission says it believes repealing that tax would likely allow U.S. ports to win back as much as half of the business now going to

Canada. On the brighter side,

the Canadian competition pushed the ports of Seattle and Tacoma to seek legisla-tion allowing them to invest in super docks to handle the mammoth Panamax ships, and the legislature finally passed a transportation funding bill to help relieve congestion. BNSF is invest-ing $189 million in railroad improvements this year.

The volume of cargo handled at British Colum-bia’s ports has jumped 46 percent since 2006, while our West Coast traffic grew only 3.8 percent, according to the American Association of Port Authorities.

That should be a wake-up call for us and prod our elected officials to act before it is too late and there is no lunch to eat.

To no avail.I’m just sick and tired of paying

these “extra” charges each and every month, and for what is all this extra money being used? I was told it was to maintain the pipes, etc. Hmm.

This year with the extreme heat wouldn’t you think the City could give us a break on the water so that we could keep our shrubs from dy-ing? Our yards are burning up and the fire danger is tremendous. But in a state with abundant water, we can’t use it for fear of not being able to pay our “water bill.”

combat the growth in gang activity. Grant applications for these services have soared across the state, exceeding the amount of available funding and leaving some communities without any meaningful support.

There are more than 12,000 documented gang members in King County alone, with ongoing gang activity in Yakima, Tacoma/Pierce County, Spokane, Snohomish County, and

southwest Washington. The continuing investments we make this year are targeted to cut off the supply of young people being drawn into the gangs through proven intervention and outreach. Research by the Washington Institute for Public Policy shows that “youth who spend their free-time in pro-social and constructive activities are at lesser risk of violence.”

The model for success in these efforts is the Alive and Free program operated by the YMCA of Greater Se-

attle. Based on a successful program transported from Los Angeles by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Alive and Free pursues the hearts and minds of youth and empowers them to take control of their individual destinies. By employing street outreach workers, many of whom have es-caped from gangs them-selves, the program meets youth where they are at and builds a positive social structure for them to find their way to success.

With the support of

South King County police agencies, including Kent and Renton, and a $200,000 investment from the state, Alive and Free has been working with as many as 85 youth a month to steer them towards positive social experiences and away from gangs.

In South King County, they serve children as young as 12 and up to 18 years old, three-quarters of which already have gang af-filiation. More than half are failing one or more classes at school and have prior involvement in the juvenile justice system. Alive and Free boasts a 92 percent

graduation rate among the young people they have served. Those are the kind of results we need.

Once a child is absorbed into gang culture there is a huge social cost that extends well beyond that individual: lost instruc-tional time, medical care, and incarceration costs add up quickly. A dollar spent keeping a child out of a gang is many dollars gained in reduced crime, healthier families and more success-ful students.

More important than cost savings is the immea-surable benefit that society and the individual receive

from ending violence and strengthening families.

The end of gangs begins with the rescue and protec-tion of vulnerable youth. By focusing on curing the illness of gang activity, we have a chance to stop its spread and give youth the hope and future they deserve.

And that is worth every penny.

Although he has long since aside his actual baton, as the Auburn School District’s new superintendent, Spicciati is still out in front, ears tuned to the blending harmonies and oc-casional dissonances of a very grand band indeed, expressing the core of a big-hearted, soft-spoken man who loves what he’s doing.

“I love seeing kids develop,” Spicciati said recently. “I love trying to find out where their potential is and help them reach it. It just has a very natural appeal to me, and I’m still doing that, just from a different part of the organization now.”

Spicciati succeeds former Superintendent Kip Herren, who retired in July after seven years at the post.

Gentle approachOne key principle that

guides Spicciati in these still-early days of his tenure is this: never roar into a new job and upend things just for the sake of upend-ing them, scrapping plans you didn’t bother to take the time to understand.

Better to quietly observe, he says, to learn about the people, and listen.

In his case that means taking the time to under-stand progress the district’s strategic plan, now in its third year, has made to de-termine whether the district should create a new plan for the 2015-2016 school year, or make modifications and finish what’s already in progress.

“I have seen situations where a leader comes in with the answers, and at that point it doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong because people aren’t with you,” said Spicciati, 44. “What I’ve observed of the Auburn School District, thus far, is there’s re-ally distributed leadership, and they’ve worked hard through the Teacher Lead-ership Academy to have not just one leader but to have many leaders. I want to un-derstand how that has come to be, and that’s the model I’d like to continue.”

He said he loves problem solving, especially helping others to find new ways of doing things.

“In my career I’ve been able look at our students’ skills and some of their data and find kids who are ready for higher-level courses, maybe algebra in the eighth grade, maybe it’s AP courses. A kid who has the skills, but who doesn’t look like a kid

we would assume capable of that,” Spicciati said. “And that’s always given me a lot of gratification, to know that I found somebody who deep within them has the ability, but maybe people haven’t

recognized that. “A bit of that, he

says, is his own story, an expression of his personality.

“I’ve never been the loudest one, the one to come on really strong, but I’ve tried to have core competence

and integrity. A lot of times those qualities in a student can get lost, especially in a school with a large popula-tion. But if you really take the time to know students, either by getting to know them personally or by be-ing really diligent with the data, you can find kids who have skills we really haven’t made the most of yet and put them in opportunities where they can really grow and succeed,” Spicciati said.

Small town boySpicciati grew up in

Malvern, a small suburb of Philadelphia. A city much like Auburn, he says: blue collar, fond of parades, older downtown. A resem-blance that helped attract him to Auburn.

His father taught at the Indiana School for the Deaf before he moved his family to Pennsylvania to teach at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf when Alan was young. He went into business for a time but spent the last 15 or so years

of his career as a substitute teacher of foreign language and history.

His mother was, briefly, an English teacher. After raising Alan and his brother, she became an editor, going to work for an insurance publisher that does the CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Under-writer) accreditation.

Beyond parental influ-ences on his career choice, there was music.

“In high school, it was band. I enjoyed working with younger kids, and with my parents being educators, I just had a career interest in being a teacher. I really idolized my high school band teacher, Lee Knier; he was clever and witty. He helped me really under-stand things that I didn’t know about myself. My best teachers did that, helped me see a potential in myself that I hadn’t seen,” he said.

A Little League coach, Don Reimenschneider, was another hero.

“I was just another kid, and he said, ‘No, I think you could be good at this, if you really applied yourself.’ Those kinds of moments have really stuck with me. I remember we had a pitcher with a sore arm, and it was a championship game and the kids wanted our friend, David, to pitch. Don said, ‘You know, a couple of years from now, nobody will remember if we won the game, but they will re-member if David got hurt.’ That kind of thing has stuck with me. I try to live with integrity, and I’ve always

slept well when I acted that way.”

A career in educationSpicciati began his teach-

ing career in New York state as a replacement for a high school band teacher who had taken a year off to com-plete a doctorate. In 1994 he and his wife, Shannon, — they’d met in college — moved to Washington, where she began work on a master’s degree in music at the University of Washing-ton, and he began teaching elementary band in the Highline School District.

He was with Highline for 21 years.

“I always thought I’d be a band director. I loved band, loved music. I played the euphonium – a baritone-voiced brass instrument like a small tuba – in high school and college. I thought I’d be a teacher my whole career. When I was looking at my master’s degree, I thought it would be interesting to explore school leadership. And you know, one thing just led to another over time.”

And so he rose from band teacher at Tyee High School to high school assis-tant principal to principal at Beverly Park Elementary to positions in central office. In 2008 he completed his doctorate at Seattle Pacific University and became the

district’s interim superin-tendent and chief account-ability officer.

“I feel I still like being close to kids, but I also feel like I have some skills that can help a community and really be a part of some-thing, as a leader and by myself,” Spicciati said. “One of the things I’ve done a lot over the last years is coach youth baseball. I love seeing kids develop. I love trying to find out where their potential is and help them reach it.”

His wife plays oboe with the Auburn Symphony Or-chestra and has played with the Seattle Symphony and Seattle Opera on oboe and English horn. She teaches at Pacific Lutheran University.

“I don’t play anymore, I wish I could,” Spicciati said. “Brass instruments are very physical, and it’s hard to keep up those skills. I played as long as I taught. When I moved into administration, it

left me. I always think some-day I’ll go back, but I haven’t had the time recently.

“We have two boys, Sam, 12, and Andrew, 15. They’re the joy of our lives, and they’re our hobby right now,” he said. “We don’t have time for a whole lot of other things. I love going to concerts, and I pay a lot of attention to baseball. A lot of my hobbies are living vicariously through (Shan-non’s) music.

“I was attracted to Au-burn because it’s very well thought of throughout the region. …I have a lot of energy for the job,” Spicciati said. “One the things I’m excited about is I have 21 years in education, I’ve got all my degrees, and I’ve got a lot of my career ahead of me. I feel like I have a lot of energy for the job.”

Lysne Nolte is a warm-hearted, generous woman, a fancier of flip-flops, a woman of sole.

Nolte designs and sells the colorful casuals from her Lakeland Hills home and then directs a portion of her profits to charity and other causes.

Her latest cause – the plight of a 6-year-old girl from her own neighbor-hood.

Doctors recently diag-nosed Avery Huffman, a student at Lakeland Hills Elementary School, with

an inoperable brain tumor. Her story has gone interna-tional, touching celebrities, who have passed on sup-portive messages to the girl.

The #AveryStrong cam-paign has hit home. The community is pitching in with a fundraising auction Aug. 22 at the Lakeland Hills Community Center. Proceeds from tickets sales will help the Huffman fam-ily cover medical costs.

Nolte, a mother of four, has also decided to do something. A portion of her flip-flop and other pre-order sales for August are going to go to the AveryStrong Foundation.

“She fighting, she’s fight-ing really hard,” Nolte said of Avery. “I want to help however I can.”

Nolte launched her busi-ness – SeaTown Sole – in 2014 to raise money for her daughter, who wanted to go on a mission to Guatemala for her 15th birthday.

Mother and daughter did bake sales, washed cars and used the proceeds from a children’s and family Christian book Nolte wrote as a first-time author.

Then a friend provided a photo of a flip-flop, and an idea came to Nolte: buy them in bulk then decorate and sell them to girls and

women.In only a few months,

the Noltes raised enough money for both to go to Central America, where they helped outreach teams build chicken coops, homes, a stove, and provided sanitized, filtered water to villages.

“It was an amazing op-portunity for my daughter to personally grow, and for myself,” Nolte said.

When Nolte returned she found she had more orders to fill. It was then she de-cided to start her own bou-

tique, secured a trademark and found a reliable factory source for flip-flops.

Many of her flip-flops bear the colors of the Seahawks with the iconic Seattle skyline; others are brightly decorated for schools.

Sunshine Lynch, the mother of Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, bought a pair.

Nolte entertains new looks. She plans to unveil new flip-flop styles for women and men next month and introduce slip-

pers in October.“It has been my priority

to focus on durability and high quality with fresh new styles,” Nolte said.

Nolte hopes to grow the business. Beyond online availability, SeaTown Sole products are sold at several retailers, among them four area MultiCare hospitals.

“I love it,” Nolte said of her work. “I feel very con-tent … and it’s fun.”

BOGEY’S

TRIBECA SALON & SPAAN SALON

BY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Setting your band apart from the more than 110 acts at this year’s rendition of the Vans Warped Tour, which wraps up it’s summer run Aug. 8 at the White River Am-phitheater, can be a challenge.

With nine music stages and tents going at once, the time available to grab a fans’ attention is short.

For Fit For A King, a Christian metalcore band out of Texas, the key to success is a set filled with brutal, heavy music and a little face to face time with the fans.

“We’re a pretty heavy band, there is a lot of screaming vocals and guitars, it’s hard to explain how heavy we are un-less you’re into heavy bands,” lead singer Ryan Kirby said. “Our goal is just to be the

heaviest band on Warped.”With just a few precious

on-stage minutes to grab festival-goers attention, Kirby said his band strives to cement any interest in the band with a little one-on-one conversation.

“We’re one of the few bands that have a member of the band at our merchandise booth the whole day,” Kirby said. “That differentiate us from the other bands who are there for set times. We hang out there all day.”

Founded in 2007, Fit For A King made a name for itself locally in the Texas metal scene, independently releasing two EPs and a full length LP.

The band gained national attention and was soon book-ing DIY (do it yourself) tours without the help of label money.

In 2012 the band took the next step in its growth, inking a deal with Solid State records and putting out LPs: “Creation/Destruction”, a re-recorded “Descendants” and 2014’s “Slave to Nothing.”

Although the idea of Christians playing fast, heavy-metal-style music may seem foreign to some, Kirby said most of the band’s peers and metal fans in general have no problem with Fit For A King’s faith.

“We’re not ashamed to be Christians,” Kirby said. “We meet a lot of people in bands that aren’t Christians, and a lot of times they are the nicest people we’ve met. I compare it to public school. Most of us went to public school and you make friends of all back-grounds and beliefs there. It’s like that on tour; you have to give respect to give respect.”

Kirby said the band will tour North American on its own during the fall of 2015 before heading to Europe for a run of dates in November. After that it’s back to the studio to record the next album, with the exposure of the Warped Tour hopefully adding a few more fans.

“It’s huge, but at the end of the day it’s how you use and what you make of it,” Kirby said. “If you go on Warped and sit in your van all day, you’re not going to do as well as if you sit at your merch booth all day talking with fans and all that.”

The 2015 Vans Warped Tour comes to Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre beginning at 11 a.m.

General admission tickets are $47.50 after service charges and available at www.livenation.com.

Rapper Wiz Kalif – also known as Cameron Jibril Thomaz – on stage at the White River Amphitheatre this past Sunday.Khalifa, along with reunited rock band Fall Out Boy, packed the Auburn venue as part of the Boys of Zummer tour. Also performing were Hoodie Allen and DJ Drama. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter

Gary Ermish and the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro he has been racing in since 1999. Ermish is currently first in the NHRA District 6 National Open Series Super Street point standings. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

Accelerating to the finishBY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

For more than 30 of his 67 years, Gary Ermish has been laying down serious rubber at Pacific Raceways in Kent.

But he’s never had a year like this one.

This season Ermish and his 1968 Chevy Camaro, loaded with a big block 496, have been cruising down the strip in record times, landing the Auburn driver in first place in the Na-tional Hot Rod Association (NHRA) District 6 National Ope Series Super Street point standings.

Coming into this week-end’s NHRA Pacific North-west Nationals, Ermish is sitting pretty with 95 points, just ahead of Don Paine and Justin Sibley, who have 94 points each.

Ermish doesn’t know exactly why it’s happening, and he doesn’t really want to know — he’s just enjoying the rides of his life.

“This has been just an exceptional year for me,” Ermish said. “I’m not sure why, but I’m not stopping too long to examine it. I’m just riding it as best as I can.”

Ermish, a South Dakota native, has been “riding it” as best he can since the 1970s.

While he’s always been in-terested in cars and working on them, it wasn’t until the 1970s that he started bracket racing.

“All I’ve ever done is what they call bracket racing. But I’ve been off and on with it; I’ll do it for a few years then lay off it for few years. Back in and back out and back in again.”

In bracket racing, cars are allowed a handicap between the predicted elapsed time of two cars over a standard distance, typically a quarter-mile.

Before each race, drivers choose a dial-in time for their cars, estimating how long it will take them to cross the finish line.

At the starting line, the starter adjusts the Christmas tree starting lights, so the car with the slowest time takes off first, and the fleetest gets a delayed green light.

This allows consistency and driver skill to determine races, rather than pure speed and the amount of money an owner can pump into a car.

Ermish has been running the same Camaro with the same big-block Chevy engine that he’s run since 1999.

“It’s had a couple of re-builds, and I’ve blown it up a couple times,” Ermish said.

Ermish said he wasn’t sure what first drew him to the sport except that he’s always had a thing for cars and motors.

“I think I went out a time or two in high school and just went from there,” he said.

He started out the 1970s in a 1957 Chevy Bel Air.

It was during that decade that Ermish infected his two sons, Troy, 49, and John, 48, with the racing bug.

“I like the people, it’s as much the other people

FOR THE REPORTER

Pending late mail, 23 horses have been nominated to the 80th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile on Sunday, Aug. 16.

The 80th running of the Grade 3 race will match top

middle-distance horses at the one-mile distance, featur-ing many of the sport’s elite jockeys and trainers taking on the best Emerald Downs has to offer.

No less than nine graded stakes winners are nomi-nated to this year’s renewal, led by Bayern, winner of the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic (Grade 1); Sahara Sky, win-ner of the 2013 Metropolitan Handicap (G1), and Warren’s Veneda, winner of the 2015

Santa Margarita (G1).Conditioned by hall of

famer Bob Baffert, Bayern held off Toast of New York by a nose in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and is 6-for-13 with lifetime earnings of $4,418,680. Warren’s Veneda, a 5-year-old California-bred mare, has earned over $900,000 in a 26-race career and would become the first filly or mare to start in The Mile since Have Faith in 1966.

Stryker Phd – bidding to become the first two-time Longacres Mile winner at Emerald Downs – carries top local hopes for trainer Larry Ross and owners Jim and Mona Hour. The 6-year-old Bertrando gelding carries a six-race winning streak into The Mile, and appears in peak form following after a six-length rout in the Mt. Rainier Handicap last month. In last year’s Mile, Stryker Phd rallied from last for a half-length victory in 1:33.67.

Other graded winners nominated are Alert Bay, Big Cazanova (ARG), G.G. Ryder, Majestic City and Mr. Bowling.

Alert Bay enjoyed a tre-mendous 2014 campaign for trainer Blaine Wright, win-ning six stakes and earning $596,407 for Peter Redekop of Vancouver, B.C. A 4-year-old City Zip gelding, Alert Bay has won graded stakes on turf and dirt, includ-ing three stakes wins Santa Anita.

Southern California trainer Peter Miller nomi-nated Appealing Tale and Big Cazanova. A 5-year-old Tale of the Cat gelding, Appealing Tale dropped a head deci-sion to Catch a Flight in last week’s San Diego Handicap

Carol E. DavisCarol E. Davis passed away on

Wednesday, July 22, 2015 in her home in Auburn, Washington. She was 77 years old, born May 11, 1938 to Walter and Vivian (Scott) Manginen in Ishpeming, Michigan.

She leaves behind two daughters, Sylvia J. (McClure) Watson and Brenda A. (McClure) Brown, and two sons, Edward B. McClure and Jamie A. Davis.

She was preceded in death by two sons, James A. McClure (Bennett) and Michael E. McClure. She has 14 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two soon-to-be born great-grandchildren.

Carol loved her family and friends and took great joy in her hobbies: her � ower garden and putting together puzzles. She was loved by many and maintained her independence to the very end. She will be greatly missed.

Services will be held to celebrate her life on Saturday, August 8, at 11 AM at Crossroads Church, 209 M Street N.E., Auburn, WA

Ronald G. Ware Sr. “Got New Legs!”

Ronald G. Ware Sr. left us on July 28, 2015 to go back home to be with his maker.

He was born in Auburn, WA. on May 9, 1941 to Dorwin and Dolly Jean Ware. He was a big guy, and started working at Oswald’s Packing Company at the age of 13, and continued to work at several meat companies throughout his youth before working for the City

of Auburn water department. In 1964, he married his wife of 51 years, Ruth, and started a family. In 1969, he opened a small butcher shop, Ron’s Meats, at his home in Auburn, and operated that business until he moved the business to the former Auburn Packing Company building on the Green River in 1982, becoming Green Valley Meats and Mini Market, where he made award-winning smoked meats until his retirement in 2003.

Diagnosed with diabetes in 1976, he battled the e� ects of the disease for many years, ultimately losing both legs to diabetic complications, but it never slowed him down, and he kept his sense of humor through his travails, and he continued to enjoy � shing, hunting, car � ipping, and seeing his grandchildren. Though he was never able to walk much in his later years, you could always spot him riding around his little farm on his scooter, or hanging with his friends by the � sh pond, telling stories. He was a friendly, generous man, always willing to help out friends and strangers alike, and seemed to know just about everyone in town. He will be missed by the many people who knew him throughout his time here on earth.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth, his sister, Patsy, his children Ron Jr. (Sabrina), Laurie (Tim), and Cheri (Damon), as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A memorial service for friends and family will be held at the Auburn Senior Center, 808 9th St. S.E. In Auburn (next to Les Gove Park) at 2:00pm on Sunday, August 9th. A potluck will follow, so bring whatever you like.

In lieu of � owers, please send memorial donations to the American Diabetes Association.

Ray MusserRay Musser passed away

peacefully July 29, 2015. By his side was his best friend, con� dant, neighbor and guardian angel, RueAnn Larson.

Ray lived a full life and enjoyed hunting and � shing. While Ray wasn’t much on calling people (“the phone works both ways Ray”) whenever he did, he would re-tell the whole conversation with a big smile on his face. While he might say, “they talked forever” rolling his eyes, he too would talk to his daughter for almost an hour. This was usually when she was on her way over to visit him.

Ray lost his wife and hunting partner Erla in 2004 but kept her memory alive and close. He named his Shamrock plant Erla and would take extraordinary care of “her” and would not let anyone touch “her”. Ray was a unique man who may not have had the best communication skills, but loved, laughed and appreciated everyone in his life. His smile, sense of humor and the twinkle in his eyes will be missed by family and friends.

Ray did not want a funeral service but did want to have his ashes scattered in his old hunting grounds where Erla and many other of his hunting buddies are.

In lieu of � owers, please consider donating to the American Cancer Society.

Isn’t it time to have the

conversation?involved in it as the racing itself that keeps me racing,” Ermish said. “And having my son (John) into has helped keep me into it. They were both out there with me all the time, for as long as I can remember.”

Although he often gets the chance to race against John, who lives in Renton and often pits his 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle against his dad’s ride in Division 6 action, Ermish’s oldest son also has

motor oil in his blood.“My other son, Troy, lives

in Tracy, Calif., and races,” Ermish said. “He doesn’t drag race, but he does road course racing.”

Ermish said Lois, his wife of 14 years, also gets in on the action.

“She lived in Kansas when I first met her, but our first date I invited her to come up to Washington, put her in the tow car and went up to Canada to drag race,” Ermish said. “She had a history of watching drag

racing. She’s like my crew chief. She’s with me at all the races and helps me with everything.”

And with every summer jam packed full of racing op-portunity, that love of sport is crucial.

“There a couple of times during the season where we might have a couple of days off, but now, the next five weekends we’re out every weekend,” Ermish said.

After the nationals, which run from Friday to Sunday at Pacific Raceways, Ermish

said he has a divisional race, two races for point standings and a bracket champion-ship in Boise, Idaho on the schedule.

“(The races) are total night and day,” Ermish said. “At nationals, we take a back seat to the Top Fuel and the dragsters, who take the top bill. We are at their beck and call.”

(G2) at Del Mar, while Big Cazanova, a 6-year-old Argentine-bred, has faced many of Southern California’s top older horses and registered a 3¼-length victory in the Native Diver (G3) last fall at Del Mar.

Majestic City and Sam-my Mandeville also have competed in top events in

California. Majestic City shipped to Dallas for a front-running victory in the Lone Star Park Handi-cap (G3)and Sammy Mandeville is multiple graded stakes-placed, including a second in the Precisionist (G3) at Santa Anita.

In addition to Sahara Sky, Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer nomi-nated G.G. Ryder and

Southern Freedom. Co-owned by Hollendorfer and George Todaro, G.G. Ryder is 10-for-21 lifetime and is a graded winner on turf and synthetic.

Handicap weights for the Longacres Mile will be announced Saturday, August 8, with entries drawn Wednesday, Au-gust 12. If more than 12 horses enter, high weights preferred.

Their unique show has been gaining a loyal following ever since. Each member of the band brings a bit of humor by dressing like well-known iconic characters from the era.

one that will keep your toes tapping and make you want to dance in the aisles. Honoring the Day the Music Died will transport you to the late 1950’s when this music was fresh and new!
