Resident seeks license despite City’s 1-year moratorium on bidsBy ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Last November more than 55 percent of Washington state’s voters voted yes on

Initiative 502, legalizing recreational use of marijuana in the state.

The Auburn City Council on Sept. 14 slapped an initial moratorium of up to one year on the acceptance and processing of applications for business licenses, permits or approvals for marijuana, cannibis-related businesses inside city limits.

It would give them time, council mem-bers said after that vote, time to study the laws, time for council subcommittees to review all the issues that arise on contradic-tions between state and federal guidelines.

Lured by the promise of give-aways, celebrity meets and greets and prizes to be awarded to the first 1,000 people through the doors, curious shoppers came to see what changes Glimcher Reality Trust

had wrought to the shopping center formerly known as the SuperMall.

Hundreds of the faithful milled in front a speaking stand inside the main mall entrance last Thursday morning, waiting for the grand re-opening ceremonies to start.

Behind the stand, shielding the reworked concourse from prying

eyes, a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall black curtain.

Machine beats muscle in emergency preparedness exerciseBy SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

More than 20 first responders, including police officers from Pacific, Bellevue, King County, and firefighters from Bellevue, Buckley, East Pierce Fire and Rescue and the Valley Regional Fire Authority, partici-pated at Monday’s Take Winter By Storm emergency preparedness event in Pacific.

The exercise pitted a team of human sand-bag fillers against the King County Depart-ment of Emergency Management’s sandbag-ging machine to determine which could fill and stack the most bags in 10 minutes.

The machine edged out the humans, 120 to 104 bags.

Take Winter By Storm is King County’s program to raise awareness and help residents prepare for winter flooding and weather-related emergencies.

Perhaps more than any other of the four Pacific City Council seats being contested in the Nov. 5 general election, the race for Position No. 4 presents voters with a conundrum.

On paper, the race, pit-ting newcomer Vic Kave against Leanne Guier, a former councilperson now serving as Pacific’s mayor, seems simple.

Guier, whom the City Council appointed mayor after the recalling of former Mayor Cy Sun, gave up her seat to Katie Garberding, who was appointed to fill the seat until Dec. 31.

But because the City Council appointed Guier to the City’s top executive post after the deadline had passed for candidates to withdraw from the election, she couldn’t remove her name from the ballot.

Guier and Kave were the top-two vote getters in the primary, edging out Dave

Stookey and moving on to the general ballot.

Despite the presence of her name on the ballot, Guier insists, she has no intention to resign as mayor should she win the seat. That would leave the posi-tion open for an appointee to be selected by the city council.

“A vote for me is a vote for the council to appoint,” Guier said. “If you don’t know Vic, you still have a choice to let council ap-point someone to that seat. I think it’s important to have a choice.”

Vic KaveA 20-year resident of the

City of Pacific, Kave, 45,

said he has always known that he would step up and run for office one day.

“It’s something I’ve been interested in doing for a few years,” Kave said. “I had been waiting for my kids to grow up before I commit-ted to it, but when I looked at what the City was going through and what I could bring, I realized they could use my talent and skills now.”

Kave, a former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger and a combat veteran, and today a firefighter with the Valley Regional Fire Authority, said it was Pacific’s small-town atmosphere that first attracted him.

“I’m originally from West Virginia,” he said. “I met a woman from Auburn and wanted to settle down. I wanted to buy a house before I got married and get on with living the Ameri-can dream. Pacific was a nice, small town, and it had the small-town atmosphere that I’m used to. It seemed like a nice little community – no hustle and bustle, but still close enough to the big cities.”

Initially content to raise his family, which includes two teenage sons who attend Auburn Riverside, Kave – who has a bach-elor’s degree in business and associates degrees in fire command and admin-istration, technology and arts and science – said he

realized during the City’s tumultuous years under the Sun administration that he had something to offer residents of the city.

“You have to realize that you’re there for the people; they expect you to do what’s good for them, not what’s good for you,” Kave said. “And I can do that because I don’t have a personal agenda. I think I have a sense of genuineness that most people don’t. I con-nect with people. I have a knack for being able to put myself in their shoes. And, for lack of a better term, I have a strong sense of what is right.”

Among his strong points, Kave said, is his fiscal ex-perience. That includes not only his time in the Army but also his work with the VRFA, whose dive team he said he has helped to revive.

“Our dive team was out of service because they didn’t meet the standards,” he said. “We put plans into place, and now they’ve been recognized as one of the best. In the military, I man-aged a multi-million dollar arms room, managing ammunition and making sure every single round was accounted for,” Kave added. “I’m not a stranger to accountability and fiscal responsibility.”

All of which, he said, would be useful in help-ing to set the City’s budget straight.

“I think the biggest thing is getting a handle on their budget,” Kave said. “I think there is a confusion about what’s been spent and what it’s been spent on. We need to try and get where the budget is recognizable so everybody can see what is being spent where.”

Kave added that main-taining the city’s small-town feel is also a priority for him.

“It still has those ele-ments. Maybe a little has been lost, but that may just be the way our society is going,” Kave said. “I don’t know if you can fix that politically, but maybe we

need to embrace those values at the political level. We’ve become too divisive, too closed off and shut down. Nobody talks to their neighbors anymore; they might not even know them.

“I have committed my life to public service and have proven leadership experi-ences in building successful teams that are examples to be followed,” Kave wrote in his voter’s pamphlet statement. “As a council member, I promise to develop plans that make our city an example to be followed rather than a city to be ridiculed. Let’s get back to all that is good about being Pacific.”

Pacific City Council candidate Stacy May Knudtson answers a question at Tuesday’s Pacific Candidate forum at the Pacific Community Center gym. Candidates for three of the four contested council seats –

incumbent Councilmember John Jones, Stacy May Knudtsen and Vic Kave – participated, giving Pacific residents a chance to see where they stood on some of the issues facing Pacific, now and into the future.

Trash collecting tandem honored for their serviceBy ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Becki Myers Hill and her grand-son, Matthew Alexander, 7, like to visit Auburn’s parks, always have.

But sad to say, from time to time their eyeballs alight on trash befoul-ing his favorite play places.

Such urban offal offends this particular boy’s sense of right and wrong, down to the core. He takes it personally. It riles him up. So he and his grandma pick the stuff up and drop it into appropriate receptacles.

Matthew goes so far as to take home recyclables – including the tiniest paper clips – and deal with them there.

For all the right reasons, such activity was bound to bring the boy and his grandma to the attention of City employees.

At City Hall on Monday night, Au-burn officially recognized the duo for

their efforts, awarding grandma and grandson certificates of appreciation for demonstrating how, by their ac-tions, everybody “can make Auburn a better place.”

“Your City is very proud of your civic pride,” the verbiage on the cer-tificates concludes.

“We thought it was time to recog-nize them for their service,” Mayor Pete Lewis explained, “and thank them for what they have done.

“We also wanted to thank them for making this an awareness campaign of their own, part of what it means to be a good citizen. Not only do you not litter, but if you see some, take a moment to pick it up and put it in a receptacle,” Lewis said.

Ah, but the City had more than certificates to hand out Monday.

Grandma and grandson also got medallions, rarely given out and only to people who do special things for their city.

Finally, there was something just for Matthew. Something that really lit up his face – chocolate from Gos-

anko Chocolate Art.As the applause in the Council

Chamber subsided, Myers Hill ex-plained how it all got started.

By the time Matthew was 2 years old, Myers Hill said, she had gotten into the habit of taking him to a park near her home where he loved to play. One day he saw teens throw-ing wrappers on the ground, fouling his favorite park. That sight so fired up his tidy young soul that he began picking things up, using latex gloves and bags that she supplied.

“I got him a garbage picker upper. He wouldn’t share it. I had to buy one for myself,” Myers Hill laughed.

In time, she said, some teenagers noticed what the little boy was doing and began following his example.

Recently, Matthew took another cause under his wing: graffiti. The sight of it on one of his play things stirred him anew: he got the City to come out and take care of it.

“You can’t start too young,” Myers Hill said.

Surface water sampling set for Algona streets, yards

FOR THE REPORTER

Workers will visit parts of Algona starting next month to collect samples of water from City stormwater ditches, part of a continuing investigation into an area of contaminated groundwater that originated on property owned by The Boeing Co. in Auburn.

Later this fall or winter, owners and occupants of about 32 homes and lots will receive letters from Boeing’s environmental contractor, Landau Associates, asking whether water collects in ponds on their property. If it does, the company will ask permission to take samples of that water.

The Washington De-partment of Ecology is directing the investigation, which is carried out and paid for by Boeing.

The stormwater ditch study is to include streets bounded by 8th Avenue North, Boundary Boule-vard, State Route 167 and Chicago Avenue. Boeing took groundwater samples in this area earlier this year, which did not detect contamination in most locations. The 32 homes and lots are located in the northeastern portion of this area where ground-water sampling did detect low levels of groundwater contamination.

Algona has helped the study by arranging for the street-ditch sampling and other technical assistance.


Q: “How did Fox Plumbing & Heat-

ing get started?”

A : Virgil Fox started the

company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment

of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping ev-ery customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.

Q: “What plumbing services do you o� er? And do you do both repair and installa-tion?”

A : If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both � x ailing

systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in � xing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be � xed we � x it. We o� er a full range of plumb-ing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by o� ering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catch-ing problems early. We’re very excited to announce that

we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our sta� , provid-ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.

Q: “Do you guarantee your services?”

A : Absolutely, we have the best written war-ranties in the business. We provide our

customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experi-ence with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from cur-rent customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satis� ed customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.

Q: “In an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about a� erhours and on the weekends?”

A : Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks

and furnaces can’t tell time and o� en chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut o� videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we o� en get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we � x

the problem. A� er an emergency many of our custom-ers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great im-provements in their plumbing systems.

It’s All About

SERVICEFast. Professional. Friendly.

residents had to say about the moratorium. The public hearing was required within 60 days of the passage of the moratorium.

One Auburn resident spoke up.

“Within 30 days, Initia-tive 502 will allow you to apply for a license to operate a retail operation to grow or produce,” said Jeremy Reidt, a master gardener associated with Seattle-based Cloner’s Market. The Cloner’s Market’s website bills the organization as “Seattle’s First Locally Owned Col-lective Garden Made For Growers by Growers!” It advertises varieties of weed with colorful names like “White Smurf ”, “Platinum Girl Scout Cookies”, “Pit Bull” “Lavender Cheese” and “Connie Chung”.

“It’s a very small window, 30 days,” Reidt said, “and you guys having a morato-rium in place for one year would negate that one-year license that you would ap-ply for, and pay $1,000 for, just for the application. Are you guys going to have an-other hearing or reopen the issue within 60 days after 502 goes into effect and be-

gins handing out licenses? … I’m personally feeling the one-year moratorium is going to contradict what the state’s going to allow us to do in the next 30 days.”

The language of the mora-torium actually gives the City Council up to a year; it doesn’t mandate that it take a year. Council members could extend the moratorium, or they could decide to do something earlier than that.

“It would also auto-matically expire upon the (City’s) regulation being adopted,” Auburn City At-torney Dan Heid said of the moratorium.

The Council acted in Sep-tember nearly three weeks after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the federal government would allow Washington’s and Colorado’s new mari-

juana laws to go into effect. Deputy Mayor Nancy

Backus said at the time that “the state is saying one thing, federal laws are say-ing another, but they’re also saying that they will turn a blind eye at the federal level. We want to ensure that, as the City of Auburn, we are protecting ourselves and at the same time doing a full review in the com-mittees. We want to ensure that, if we allow the pro-cessing of applications for marijuana-cannibis-related businesses, we do so in such a manner as to allow for full review and information.”

The City also wants time to learn from other Wash-ington cities struggling to cope with the fallout from the passage of I-502, said Councilmember Largo Wales.

National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct. 20-26. This year’s theme is “It Takes Two: Shared Ex-pectations for Teens and Parents for Driving.”

As an automotive indus-try professional, I hear too many horror stories. Being a parent of three, just passed teen-age years, it helps me stay focused

on advocacy for safety education.

I hope parents realize that they are still the most important resource to ensuring their children’s driving safety.

In our state, drivers age 20 and younger were in-

volved in more than 23,000 crashes in 2010, resulting in 72 fatalities and

nearly 8,000 injuries, according to the Department of Transportation.

According to teendriversource.org, administered by The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), here are some ways parents can work with their teens with the goal of raising safe skilled drivers:

• Advocate for 65-plus hours of supervised driving practice. Keep a driving log and a driving lesson

timeline to ensure that young driv-ers get lots of varied practice and careful monitoring.

• Make sure parents teach their kids critical driving skills. A recent CHOP study found that 75 percent of serious teen crashes were caused by critical teen driver error, with the most common errors being exces-sive speed, distractions and failure to detect hazards.

• Develop house rules for the first year of independent driving. The teendriversource.org can help you

It’s time for a change at City Hall

The last two administra-tions in Auburn City Hall have been very good – very good at spending my tax money, that is. Mostly, it seems like, on outlandish projects.

There are cities and towns throughout the country that have street lights that are 100 years old or more. I may have lost count, but I believe that we are on our third set of street lights downtown since I moved to Auburn in 1979.

The SuperMall with all the tax breaks? Never was very super. Remember the park-ing slots for all the tour buses that were going to bring in the hoards of shoppers?

How about the curbs in town with the bump-outs that no one can park easily next to? I remember many small businesses that used to make Auburn look like a town instead of a parking lot.

The area around City Hall

looks ridiculous with all the pink concrete. The money spent on the “Welcome to Downtown Auburn” arch that almost no one drives through, whether they are coming in or going out of town, could have been put to much better use.

I have no reason to think that the deputy mayor won’t follow the same money-

spending path that the present mayor is on.

It’s time for a change. Au-burn is not “what I imagined.” My vote goes to John Partridge for mayor. – Bob Widener

Partridge votes ‘with his heart’

I will never forget the night the Auburn City Council voted for the Municipal Court to be taken over by King County.

The vote was 6 to 1. John Partridge was the only coun-cilmember voting no, and he simply stated he voted “with his heart.”

I truly believe John Par-tridge will represent the hearts of all Auburn residents.

Please join me in voting for John Partridge as Auburn’s next mayor in November, rep-resenting a city with a heart.– Rosanne Cundari

Transportation taxes, project reform debate need your input

Transportation infrastructure is critical to our state’s economy. As the assistant rank-ing Republican on the House Transportation Committee, I know that moving freight in our trade-dependent state and getting residents to work, home and other important destinations should be our top priorities when considering road and bridge projects.

While a $10 billion transportation tax package was debated and barely passed in the

House of Representatives at the end of the second special session (June 27), it did not pass the Senate. Many arguments for not passing the tax proposal at such a late date have merit. I believe holding off on the tax package was best

in order to allow lawmakers time to listen to constituents and craft a plan that could receive strong bipartisan support.

On Oct. 9, I participated in the Senate’s bipartisan transportation feedback forum in Tacoma. Of the dozens of residents who spoke at the forum, all but three supported a “revenue package,” which would mean increasing the state gas tax and other fees to fund current and future transportation projects.

However, as I listened to those testifying and groups they represent, I considered how 47th District residents offered strong support of bal-lot measures requiring a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to increase taxes and repealing the soda and candy taxes passed by the majority party in the Legislature. It concerns me that the voices I heard are not representative of our district as a whole.

I want to hear your thoughts, so I have cre-ated a short online survey for constituents. You can access it at this web address: www.survey-monkey.com/s/ZSDNZ6Z.

Clearly, we must complete Highways 167 and 509 to connect our ports, highways and warehouses. This is critical to Washington’s economy and would aid in job creation in

PUBLIC NOTICES

our communities. And, we certainly need to fix the Highway 167/405 in-terchange. However, before I can sup-port the Legislature taking more tax dollars from constituents, we must put in place common-sense reforms that address cost drivers in the transporta-tion system.

The reports on the faulty 520 Bridge pontoons, a ferry that lists due to design flaws, and an off-ramp on Highway 16 being put in the wrong place have eroded taxpayer trust. These errors are costing us hundreds of millions of dollars.

There are some simple solutions we can and should adopt in our state transportation system as part of any transportation tax package debate to lower the cost of projects and improve accountability. Here are some of the many solutions being considered:

Ensure accountability for tax dollars

by requiring the Washington State Department of Transportation (WS-DOT) to report engineering errors to the Legislature and find solutions to avoid making the same costly mis-takes again (House Bill 1986).

End the practice of paying sales tax on transportation projects, which diverts dollars meant for roads to the general fund to spend on non-transportation related programs and agencies (House Bill 1985).

Streamline the permitting process (House Bill 1236), making it more predictable to ensure projects are started and completed on time.

Address duplicate and costly land management studies required for large projects. For example, by allowing one exception to the Shoreline Manage-ment Act for the 520 Bridge project, the state saved $165 million.

The Legislature is also studying why it appears that the costs of transpor-

tation projects in Washington state are significantly higher than similar projects other states. We should have a better understanding before the next legislative session, when hopefully we will take necessary action.

Let’s have a debate on what reforms will work best to make sure citizens are getting the most bang for their buck. But, we cannot ignore the reality that more cost controls, accountability and common-sense changes must be made before we embark on new proj-ects that will ask taxpayers for more to fund them.

FOR ThE REPORTER

Brent King, North-west Chapter immediate past president of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), has been chosen grand marshal of Auburn’s 48th annual Veterans Day Parade on Nov. 9.

Ernie Butler, executive director of the Northwest Chapter of PVA, named King this week.

Auburn’s Veterans Day Parade & Observance is paying special tribute to the PVA, specifically the Northwest Chapter.

King served as an enlisted man and officer second lieutenant in the United States Army until he was medically

retired follow-ing a training accident in 1995. Since that time, he has continued to serve veterans and his com-munity regarding health care and benefits. He has served 18 years with the PVA’s Northwest Chapter in a myriad of roles from advocacy and legislation to sports and recreation.

King was instru-mental in bringing the National Veteran Wheelchair Games to Spokane in 2009. While King maintains an active face for the chapter in Eastern Washington, he also serves on U.S. Rep.

Cathy McMorris-Rodger’s Veterans Constituent Advisory Board and has been a member of the PVA National Advocacy/Leg-islative Team in Washington, D.C.

for many years.King resides in

Spokane with his wife, Jolie, and twin children, Chyenne and Skylar.

The National Veterans Day Committee and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have once again selected Auburn as one of the few regional sites for Veterans Day Obser-vance in 2013.

The observance includes an American Legion breakfast, a Re-membrance Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park, a Static Display & Exhibit Showcase on South Divi-sion Street, an Auburn Noon Lions Luncheon, one of the state’s largest marching band competi-tions, and more.

The City welcomes the return of The Wall That Heals, a Vietnam Veter-ans Traveling Wall. The half-scale replica of the Washington, D.C.-based wall will be open for

viewing Friday, Nov. 8 to Monday, Nov. 11 at Veterans Memorial Park.

The focal point of the Nov. 9 activities is the mile-long parade, which includes military units, veteran service organiza-tions, marching bands, honor guards, drill teams, community and scouting groups, as well as floats, antique cars, community groups and more.

The official start of the 11 a.m. parade is Main Street and E Street NE and proceeds west on Main Street to A Street NW.

Auburn Valley YMCA staff members’ Steven Bredl and Mike Teista have Patricia Amadeo, 7, left, and Gracey Rivera, 10, looking for candy in the hay during the Y’s Fall Fest last Friday. The spook-tacular event was filled with pumpkin decorating, carnival games, make-and-take crafts, healthy snacks, face painting and more.

RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

HAY NOWAuburn Mayor Pete Lewis and Greg Fleser, general manager of the Outlet Collection | Se-attle, appeared.

“At the risk of spoil-ing a very big surprise, I’m going to tell you what’s behind the curtain – over a mil-lion square feet of the Pacific Northwest’s larg-est, fully-enclosed outlet mall,” Fleser said, as a fresh breaker of applause swept over him.

“Citizens of Auburn, we have this brand new mall,” said Lewis, enfold-ing the renovated mall into a broader recount-ing of other building projects in Auburn.

“I have never been more proud,” Glimcher said, “to be a part of this community. Because I think as a company, as a community, as a munici-pality, everybody came

together. … Everyone we worked with here worked as if it were their mall, and ultimately it is your mall.”

Then, Glimcher hit “a giant pretend button,” the curtain rose, and the era of The Outlet Col-lection | Seattle officially began.

“Let’s go shopping,” Glimcher urged, as cus-tomers streamed into the concourse.

There to greet them, the culmination of the yearlong, $35 million redevelopment and rebranding project that spruced up the center with new flooring, light-ing, entrances, furniture, family restrooms, a new dining emporium and a children’s soft play area. An interior concourse connector was added so people could walk quickly through the interior of the shopping center.

The renovation at-tracted top retailers, including Coach Factory Outlet, Nike Factory Store, Michael Kors, J. Crew Factory, Brooks Brothers Factory, and H&M. These brands join the outlet mall’s existing designer fashion stores, including Tommy Hilfiger Company Store, Nordstrom Rack, Ann Taylor Factory Store, and Banana Republic Factory.

Vote Backus for mayor

I have been reading the letters to the editor and other literature regarding Ms. Nancy Backus cam-paigning for mayor. I was born and raised in Auburn and was associated with a longtime family business in the city. I have been very impressed with her council experience, education, core values and positive attitude in moving our 122-year-old city forward.

I am interested in my quality of life – the city has the tools, and coupled with Ms. Backus’s success in local government, I’m satisfied that she’ll lead and manage the City to greater expectations.

I urge citizens to mark their ballot for Nancy Backus for our next mayor.– Clif Bo Cavanaugh

Backus has the ‘chops’

I plan to vote for Nancy Backus for mayor and I think you should, too. Let me tell you why.

I spent an afternoon talk-ing with her, and I found a person who really listens and who loves Auburn. For my mayor, I want someone who will make judgments based on logic and princi-ple. Nancy will do that. She knows why she does what she does. I like that.

People who say she will follow the current mayor’s policies underestimate her. Nancy is a strong woman with her own values and priorities, and her style is collaborative and inclusive. I like that, too.

Auburn has never had a woman as mayor. The time has come. Five out of six of the other council mem-bers endorsed her bid for

mayor. Building on working relationships is how real progress is made.

Besides the chemistry, she has the chops. Only the most effective can survive as a financial manager at Boeing Defense, Space and Security. If she is elected, she will have to quit that good job. That’s commit-ment.

She has the education, training and experience to be a great mayor. She loves Auburn and wants to lead us. What more could we ask for? When I finished talking with her, I went away think-ing, “we need her. How can I help her get elected?”

Please vote for Nancy Backus for mayor.– Linda Bielejec

Backus is the choice for mayor

Vote for the right can-didate for mayor. Nancy Backus is that candidate.

My family has been embedded and actively involved in the Auburn business, political, and ser-vice communities for over 50 years. I have seen a lot of leaders and watched Au-burn go through a tremen-dous amount of change … and it is clear that the city is on the verge of yet another transformation.

This city needs a leader that is well equipped to lead and will take us to the next level. Nancy Backus is the leader who can make this happen in the most posi-tive, proactive and socially responsible way.

I could list her many accomplishments but her resume and endorsements from an amazing diverse set of supporters speak for themselves. Over the past 30 years she has used her natural leadership, business and community building skills to improve the Auburn City Council

and multiple community organizations as well as at The Boeing Co. where she works. Every organization she has touched has been better as a result of her participation and ability to build partnerships. We are lucky she has chosen Auburn as her home.

She has the right business skills to make the right decisions, a deep under-standing of the diversity of the Auburn community, great insight into the po-litical dynamics of the city, county, and state we live in, and most of all she is non-partisan, pro-people, pro-education, pro-community. Her only special interest is making Auburn the best possible place to live. For everyone. Her priorities of jobs, roads, and safety are the basic cornerstones of a community and quite frankly what every resident should expect and demand from their City. She will get it done.

So remember … your ballot is waiting for you. This is your year, this is your chance. Make the right choice. Do it for yourself, do it for Auburn, do it for the future. Elect Nancy Backus as the next mayor of Auburn. It’s just the right thing to do.– Julia Walters-Burns

City made a foolish decision

In 2012, Mayor Pete Lew-is, the deputy mayor and their supporters destroyed Auburn’s independent Municipal Court by turning it into an appendage of the King County District Court system. I was working at the Auburn Public Defender’s Office at the time.

The alleged purpose of the change was that the District Court would cost the City less than the Municipal Court did to operate. That wasn’t true. It would have been cheaper to keep Auburn’s Municipal Court.

The real reason for the change was the number of prisoners being held in jail. The cost of housing inmates had more than doubled, and the City wanted people out of jail and on the streets to save money. The reason the jail expense was so high was that Mayor Lewis’s ad-ministration made a foolish decision to join other South King County municipalities in building the new SCORE jail in Des Moines to house Auburn prisoners, instead of continuing to house them in the Auburn City Jail in the basement of City Hall. This was not in the

control of the Municipal Court, but was in fact the mayor’s and City Council’s decision.

When you send in your ballot in this fall’s elec-tion, don’t be fooled by the incumbent candidate telling you what a financial whiz she is. She supported build-ing a jail that more than doubled the cost of opera-tion and then destroyed a great municipal court so that the city could put more criminals on the street.– Donna Johnson

DaCorsi is the choice for council

I have known Claude DaCorsi since 1999 when he joined the King County Housing Authority, where I was working as a project manager in the Mainte-nance and Construction Department.

It soon became clear that Claude brought with him a wealth of experi-ence in the construction world both from the design, construction management and financing of projects of varying size and complexity and his ability to work with people.

Since he became director of the newly created Capital Construction Department, his abilities and experience in leadership and financial management proved to be invaluable. He managed a department that grew to 21 employees and completed $25 million of low-income housing in the City of Au-burn alone in the last seven years.

In managing many multi-faceted complex projects, Claude has gained a wealth of experience in developing a working relationship with all levels of government from the local to regional to the national level.

I strongly recommend that he be supported in his bid for Auburn City Council, Position 2, as I am sure he will bring his wide range of expertise to the table, including his sense of humor, for the benefit of the City of Auburn.

Working closely with Claude for over 10 years, finally as his Capital Con-struction manager, has been a pleasure for me. I have witnessed his skill in assess-ing a situation quickly and a desire to create a position where all parties feel heard and understood. A skill that I suggest is important where differing opinions are expected in local gov-ernment.– John Batstone

Let’s clarify, explain the facts

The recent article about the candidate debate (“Can-didates square off ”, Auburn Reporter, Oct. 18) contains some inaccuracies. First, my name is Michelle Bi-netti, not Marianne Binetti. Marianne is my cousin. She is content to be a horticul-turist and is not a candidate for office.

Another inaccuracy is the allegation that I “went on to criticize some of the City’s recent spending decisions.” I didn’t criticize anything; I cited facts. Facts are neutral. Whether or not you like a fact is up to you. That the City paid over 7.6 million dollars for the two City blocks it recently sold for $1.7 million is a fact. That the City incurred 30 years of bond payments of approximately 3 million dollars a year for a new jail is a fact.

It is also a fact that those bond payments are in addi-tion to the actual daily costs of keeping people in jail that is now 50 percent higher than before. Pointing out facts isn’t a negative. It is in the importance that the can-didates place on those facts that differentiates us.

Our priorities need to be public safety, good roads and taking ownership of our fidu-ciary responsibility, respect-ing the community’s hard earned dollar as we would in our very own household. We need to remember that it is a privilege to represent the best interests of the citizens of Auburn.

I am ready to serve in a greater capacity because I care about the future of Auburn and giving back to a community that has given so much to me.– Michelle Binetti, City Council candidate

Wagner’s expertise necessary, valued

Having served two terms on the City Council with Rich Wagner, I can attest to his value and dedication to the citizens of Auburn. His engineering background has provided the council with the expertise needed in the wide range of topics they address.

Rich has served as chair-man of the council’s Public Works Committee for many years and given that committee the stability and knowledge that others do not have. He has been and continues to be active in the development of facilities at Les Gove Park. He is very thorough and analytical of

all issues that come before the council.

I strongly support Rich to continue to serve on the City Council.– Fred W. Poe

Riker-Yap poised for the job

I am writing in support of Jodi Riker-Yap, who is running for seat 2 on the Auburn City Council.

I know Jodi personally and I know what a hard, dedicated worker she is. Her belief that elected offi-cials should be accountable to the people is critical in today’s world. She supports families and small busi-nesses as the core of our community.

If she is elected, I know she will bring these values, energy and ability to learn to her new position. Auburn will benefit from having her voice represent them on the council.– Ginny Leach

Port job should respect voters

I live in Auburn, but most of my career has been centered on Kent. I have concerns about Pete Lewis becoming a Port of Seattle commissioner.

I supported Lewis early on as the mayor of Auburn because of his business background – until about two years ago. At that time, Mayor Lewis heavily pro-moted a street maintenance levy for Auburn that voters defeated. After the election, Mayor Lewis came out and declared major arterials “unsafe” and dropped the speeds on those streets that increase traffic congestion. West Valley Highway was unsafe and dropped to 30 mph, and Main Street over Highway 167 was dropped from 50 to 35 mph. To me, this was a clear reaction to the voters saying no to something he wanted.

How could West Valley Highway be unsafe after the election and not before the election?

Given the importance of the port commissioner position to the region’s business and workforce, I want a port commissioner who respects the voter’s decision and doesn’t react in a way that appears to be getting even with the voters.– Cliff Ridgway

Step away from Auburn’s noisy, busy East Main Street into Tribeca Professional Salon and you’re in another world

A world warm as a towel fetched from the dryer, mel-low as a Nora Jones’ tune, framed by images of a dozen New York City skylines under soft lighting.

Deeper inside it’s a 1,700-square-foot, full facility for spa work with four treat-ment rooms. In the couples massage room, couples may also enjoy two of any spa service, including facials.

There’s a selection of a retail and boutique items to support local artists.

“The spa industry is obviously one of our oldest healing modalities,” said owner Amy Dais. “I like to be a part of peoples’ lives, to have a place where they can come when they need healing, to offer a place they can come to when they want to create memo-ries with friends and family and go someplace that’s fun and modern. I really like being a part of people’s memories and to help them create memories.”

Auburn’s newest business celebrated its grand opening Oct. 10 at 510 E. Main St. between South E South F streets.

Tribeca represents something else new to Main Street – the first native-American-owned business there.

“I’m from Seattle,” Dais said. “We’re Muckleshoot Tribal members. We are very excited to be in Auburn.

“… Most of our native artists are independent, they do pow-pow work, they do tables at crafts and bazaars, and so they are more independent. But as a tribal member I’ve been able to take my education with business studies and figure out how do I really go out there and create a business and come down here into downtown Auburn and build bridges and be part of the city as a tribal member.”

Private parties may rent

the venue.“If people want to

celebrate sweet 16s and birthdays, milestone birth-days, bachelorettes, bridal showers, that kind of thing, they may book it privately for two to three hours,” Dais said.

It’s no coincidence that the salon took its name from a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, famed as a nest of creative and artistic talent.

“I’m a fan of New York,” Dais explained. “And I told my mom if I couldn’t live in New York, I’d bring it here. I adore the city. This neighbor-hood is artsy, and it represents

what I want to do. SOHO South is coming. She’s in the works. We’re gonna go all the way.”

Fashion trends come and go.

For 73 years, however, Rottles has been an Auburn constant, offering downtown shoppers an experience long on customer service, sky high in quality.

That’s a core commitment, and it’s key to the survival of a locally-owned department store in the age multi-nation-al, big-box super chains.

Nowhere is that commit-ment more on display than in Rottles women’s department.

There, Visual Merchan-diser Susan Vesser and Buyer Peggy Vertrees work together to offer quality, boutique clothing and personalized service.

“We’re everybody’s best kept secret,” said Vesser, a

40-year veteran of the fashion industry.

The recently redesigned women’s department, with its astonishing palette of colors, seizes the eye right away and doesn’t let go.

“One thing I refuse to do is drop the line on fashion,” Vesser said. “We’re going to keep the quality in the store that we’re famous for. I’m go-ing to keep all of our custom-ers beautiful. We’re bringing in new lines, comfy clothes, but we’re still carrying “Not Your Daughter’s Jeans” and the other brands we’re known for. At the same time, we’re bringing in some more con-temporary styles as well, so it’s updated and fresh.

“We never, ever want to lose the true customer that has always been Rottles’ backbone, and our founda-tion customers are the ones

we please first,” Vesser said. “And now we’re bringing in the edge because our base is from age 30 to more mature. And their daughters, surpris-ingly, we’re enjoying that as well.”

In addition to the quality of clothing it carries, Vesser

said, Rottles treats customers in a way that has become all too rare in retail today.

“A customer comes in as a guest, but she leaves as our friend,” Vesser said. “We want to make sure our custom-ers have a great experience. Every one of our ladies [sales

associates] are masterful wardrobers. So when a cus-tomer comes in, they get that touch of personal attention. You don’t find that anywhere you go anymore.

“Our goal every day is to make women walk out feeling more beautiful than they’ve ever felt,” Vertrees added. “And if they can have that experience, then we’ve done the job.”

With all the other options out there for shoppers – in-cluding the recently remod-eled SuperMall, now called the Outlet Collection | Seattle – Vesser and Vertrees hope that quality merchandise and customer service entice customers to come in and

check out the new women’s department.

“It’s an exciting time, [Outlet Collection] is bring-ing all these new people into Auburn,” Vesser said.

Vesser added:“I want people to know

we’re here,” Vesser said. “If you’re in Auburn, why not come over here? If someone comes in and I can’t help her, I’ll send her to the [Outlet Collection]. But I’m hoping that we can have this beauti-ful marriage of ‘Hey, we’re all in Auburn.’ Let’s all win. I am a big believer in ‘the big vil-lage, love the other stores and let’s take care of each other.’ That’s how business should work.”

Alpac, Dick Scobee, Ev-ergreen Heights, Gildo Rey and Lake View elementary schools in the Auburn School District have been named 2013 School of Distinc-tion Award winners.

The Center for Educational Effectiveness, the Association of Educa-tional Service Districts, the Association of Washington School Principals, Phi Delta Kappa-Washington Chap-ter, Washington Association

of School Administrators, Washington State ASCD and Washington State School Directors’ Associa-tion awarded the schools.

The award recognizes the top 5 percent of the highest improv-ing schools in the state for increased

reading and math-ematics achievement

over the past five years. The schools will be

recognized at an awards ceremony on a future date at the Puget Sound Edu-cational Service District in Renton.

triple trek a hitAuburn high School

DeCA’s trojans taking Charge campaign – in partnership with Action for healthy Kids – recently hosted the Au-burn Triple Trek, an event to increase awareness of healthy lifestyles.

The event included taste testing at the school and a 5K run and walkathon at Auburn Memorial Field last weekend.

According to Lori Jacobs, DECA advisor, the event was inspired by the school’s athletic director, Bob Jones, whose long-term goal is to provide an after-school pro-gram that allows students to be in the gym, weight room, track or field with adult supervision.

“With this event, as well as increasing aware-ness of the importance of a healthier way of life, we hoped to fulfill Jones’ wishes and raise enough money to kick off the after-school program,” Jacobs said in an email.

During school lunches last Friday, 10 vendors set up tables and conducted taste tests with new healthy food options. Students had the opportunity to vote for their favorite foods. In 2014, Healthy Snacks In Schools will kick in, which includes regulations for meals, snacks, beverages, fundraising and school parties.

The event raised about $1,600 of the DECA program’s goal of $5,000, and increased awareness

of healthy lifestyles. The campaign continues to raise money through sales of T-shirts, wristbands and com-munity donations. They hope to start the program in the second semester.

“I am very proud about how the event turned out,” Jacobs said. “It was empowering seeing community members, students and teachers come together to raise money for a cause that means a great deal to our school. It is important that adults and students realize the impact of eating healthy and exercising to academic performance and long-term health.”

Also ... Nearly 6,000 middle and high

school students in the district took

the College Board readiStep, pSAt or SAt tests on Oct. 16 at no charge. Funded through a federal grant and district funds, most stu-dents in grades 8-12 took the pre-college assessments. ...

Auburn high School re-ceived a $4,000 grant from the Seattle thunderbird Commu-nity Sports Foundation to assist low-income students with athletic participation fees, required physical exams, required insurance and basic equipment needs. ...

Pioneer Elementary teacher Deanna holbrook received $1,000 worth of classroom sup-plies from OfficeMax as the winner of OfficeMax’s A Day Made Better advocacy program during a presen-tation Oct. 1. Office staff nominated Holbrook, who is involved with children in the Pioneer Walk-to-Read Program.

Why should you get a flu shot?Flu season usually starts in October and

lasts as late as May. During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population.

During a regular flu season, about 90 percent of deaths occur in people 65 and older. Obviously this includes most of our residents and some of our staff.

The flu is also hard on anyone with chronic health conditions, including respi-ratory problems and diabetes.

The flu vaccine each year protects against three viruses that research indicates will be the most common.

Anyone with a severe allergy to chicken eggs or who has had a severe reaction to the vaccine in the past should not be vaccinated. If you have an illness with a temperature, you should wait until you are healthy to receive the vaccine.

For the reporter

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America – and the older you are, the more likely you are to be diagnosed with this serious disease.

“There is good news for those who want to take control of their risk”, said Dan Zenka, senior vice president of communica-tion at the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF).

Recent research shows that eating right can help decrease the chance of

developing prostate cancer, reduce the likelihood of recurrence and slow the progression of the disease.

Here are 10 nutrition tips for men to stay healthy as they age:

1. Avoid empty calories by eliminating junk food. Snack on fruits, vegetables and nuts instead. Swap out soda and opt for water or natural juices.

2. Rely on herbs, spices and garlic for flavor, not sugar, salt and fat.

3. While fat is a nec-essary component of a

healthy diet, limit the amount you consume from red meat and dairy. Avoca-dos, olives, nuts, seeds and tofu are healthy sources of fat. Trans fatty acids found in margarine, however, should be avoided.

4. Avoid taking more than 1,500 mg of calcium per day. Skip the supple-ments and consume your calcium from leafy green vegetables, beans and fish.

5. Eat more fish. Evi-dence from several studies suggests that fish can help protect against prostate

cancer because it contains “good fat,” particularly omega-3 fatty acids.

6. A lack of vegetables in the diet is a risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer. Vegetables in the broc-coli-family are especially beneficial. Use olive oil for cooking for a maximum health benefit.

7. Avoid over-supple-mentation with megavita-mins. Too many vitamins, especially folate, may fuel the cancer, and while a multivitamin is not likely to be harmful, if you follow a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and healthy oils, you likely won’t even need a multivitamin.

8. Marinate meat and turn it frequently to prevent charring. Charred meat of any type can produce car-cinogens. Alternatively, get your protein from vegetar-ian sources.

9. No matter how sound your diet is, regular exercise is its perfect pair. Recent research has suggested that exercise may be one of the best natural antioxidants, eliminating inflammatory molecules that drive cancer.

10. While eating well and exercising may make a

difference in the long run, it doesn’t always eliminate your risk of having prostate cancer. Start talking to your doctor about your prostate health, and remember to get a prostate screening during your annual physical.

While cutting out your favorite foods may seem tough at first, there are deli-

cious ways to enjoy foods that are good for you. For recipe ideas, visit www.pcf.org/nutrition.

Nutrition and wellness go hand-in-hand. Taking control of what you put into your body is a great first step toward reducing your risk for prostate cancer and other dangerous diseases.

Rather than spend-ing all of their time fighting diseases, medical researchers should focus more on how we can enable an aging population to stay healthy for as long as possible, according to a study conducted by some of the country’s top universities.

Rethinking our priorities in terms of medical goals is becom-ing imperative, simply because of demographic developments, said the study’s authors.

Populations around the world enjoy prospects of longevity unheard of only a few generations ago. Yet, overall health conditions of the aging are not improving as much.

“In the last half-century, major life expectancy gains were driven by finding ways to reduce mortal-ity from fatal diseases. But now disabled life expectancy is rising faster than total life expectancy, leaving the number of years that one can expect to live in good health unchanged or diminished,” wrote Dr. Dana P. Goldman, a professor of public health and

pharmaceutical economics at the University of South-ern California and lead author of the study report. “If we can age more slowly, we can delay the onset and progres-

sion of many disabling diseases simultaneously.”

In 2009, the latest year for which data are available, the num-ber of Americans 65 years and older was close to 40 million. By 2030, it will be about 72 million, twice as many as in 2000.

If even a small percentage of the elderly could be kept in reasonably good health, it would make a significant difference, not only in quality of life but also in expenditures for health care and entitlement programs.

“Delayed aging could increase life expectancy by an additional 2.2 years, most of which would be spent in good health. The economic value of delayed aging is estimated to be 7.1 trillion over fifty years,” the study report concluded.

In their assessment, the re-

searchers emphasize that slowing the aging process, at least in parts of the population, is a realistic goal that should be pursued sooner rather than later. In place of combating individual diseases, they recommend large-scale mea-sures of prevention.

A greater focus on early preven-tion is also supported by many healthcare organizations, includ-ing the American Heart Associa-tion (AHA) and the Academy of

Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).In an article recently published

in the AHA journal, “Circulation,” the authors call on doctors and other healthcare professionals to include lifestyle changes more aggressively in their treatment regimens.

“We’re talking about a para-digm shift from treating biomark-ers – (e.g.) the physical indicators of a person’s risk for heart disease – to helping people change un-

healthy behaviors such as smok-ing, unhealthy body weight, poor diet quality, and lack of physical activity,” wrote lead author Dr. Bonnie Spring, a professor of preventive medicine and psy-chiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University.

Taking proactive steps for the prevention of chronic diseases is also recommended as the most effective and affordable method

Healthy aging could be next frontier of medical research, study suggests

of health care by the leading organization of dietitians and nutrition-ists, especially through dietary intervention.

None of these insights are new, of course. That “an apple a day can keep the doctor away” is an old adage. What seems to be increasingly chang-ing now, however, is the belief that healthcare only means treating illnesses after they occur. That wasn’t always the case. For example, in ancient

China, people paid their doctors as long as they were well, and stopped paying the moment they fell ill. That way, doc-tors benefitted from their patients’ health, not their sickness. Food for thought …

Tom O’Connell

has maintained the farm

his family established

more than 140 years ago.

MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter

A PIONEER AND HIS PLACEO’Connell legacy lives on with lasting family farm BY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

From his perch atop a small tractor, Tom O’Connell appears at peace, put-tering around his family’s enduring farm.

“I love this place,” said O’Connell, the patriarch of a family whose roots

in Kent can be traced back more than 140 years, and whose farm stands un-touched by surrounding commercial development.

Tucked away in the heart of the Kent Valley along the Green River, the O’Connell family’s 30-acre farm on Frager Road South remains timeless, preserved, one of the last of its kind in a changing landscape that supports Boeing’s empire, corporate warehous-es and other growing industry.

All of which doesn’t seem to bother the good-natured O’Connell, a third-generation farmer who once operated a producer-handler dairy outlet, a unique enterprise in the valley at the time. The large O’Connell family busi-ness – at its peak – managed as many as 100 cows daily – milking, bottling and selling fresh raw milk for families in the O’Brien community who would make the trip to the 85-acre dairy.

“We sold it right on the farm,” said O’Connell, a fit, witty, sharp man who appears to be younger than his age. “Somehow, we sold all of our milk. …

People would come here for their neighbors, you know, so they would only come once a month.”

Operating a successful dairy for decades was just one stage for a man who has lived a long and fulfill-ing life – a life of hard work, struggles, prosperity, duty, service and volunteerism. O’Connell, who turned 90 on Sept. 11, has so many people to thank, foremost his wife of 69 years, Margie, his six children, extensive family and many friends for

making it all happen.“You could say I have had

a good life,” said O’Connell, who celebrated his birthday with family and friends at a Sept. 7 bash. The O’Connells, long retired, enjoy 21 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren.

O’Connell, a Kent pioneer, still maintains the same farm today that his grandfather, an Irish immigrant, established in 1872, and the same farm his father inherited in the 1950s.

O’Connell hopes one day to pass the farm down to his two sons – Tom and

Richard – who practically live next door. His four daughters – Eileen, Barbara, Monica, Kathryn – also keep close.

“And I’m still living here, and I don’t know of any other farm in the whole valley that’s still under the same name,” he said.

Born in 1923 in Auburn, O’Connell attended O’Brien Elementary and Kent Junior High before graduat-ing from Kent High School in 1941 before the school merged with Meridian to become Kent-Meridian High.

Out of school, he went

right to work – on the farm and in the Seattle shipyards before serving in the Navy during World War II.

Following the war, O’Connell worked on the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Briscoe School dairy before opening a family dairy business that thrived for many years.

“(Farming) taught me persistence, not to give up,” O’Connell said. “If you had a job to do, you did it.”

From 1966-86, O’Connell worked as Kent’s postmas-ter and served on many state and national commit-tees before retiring.

O’Connell has been a part of the community through his work and vol-unteer efforts, namely with the Knights of Columbus, Elks, Rotary, and Toastmas-ters. He has done his share of hunting and fishing. He enjoys gardening and golfing.

Away from the farm, the O’Connells have travelled far and wide, seeing many parts of the country, as well as Canada, Mexico and other countries.

What’s O’Connell’s secret

to his longevity?“He has a good sense of

humor, very affable, person-able,” Margie said. “He has good temperament … and enjoys very good health.”

Good health from a good run at life, he insists.

“A wonderful wife … we’ve had a great life,” O’Connell said. “Great woman behind me, and a great family. They say it takes a village. Well, our family is a village.”

friends. Set up afternoon appointments with your grandkids where they can share the big news of the school day with you in real time, or read them a bed-time story from hundreds of miles away.

• Dig up the past: Get the family together to take a quick trip back through time and explore your fam-ily heritage. Discover the root of your surname and explore your history. You’ll spark great conversation, maybe even prompt a few funny stories from the past. Online software can help you create a family tree.

• Be artistic: Need a stress-relieving activity? Why not take up painting? But rather than get your hands dirty, try a free application, such as Windows 8 FreshPaint, which offers a realistic alternative to oil painting,

without the mess. And you don’t have to shell out for painting supplies.

• Be a chef: You may already have a collection of favorite tried-and-true reci-pes. But it’s never too late to enlarge your collection. If you have an Internet con-nection, use it to find new recipes and save them to a computer program, such as HP Recipe Box, which is an easy way to organize and store them.

• Take it easy: For those with arthritis or carpal tun-nel syndrome, or those who just like things to be plain and simple, a touchscreen desktop PC such as the HP ENVY 23 TouchSmart All-in-One can provide much needed relief. You can browse the web, play games, and keep in touch without

the need for a keyboard and mouse. More informa-tion can be found at www.HP.com.

• Play a game: From Scrabble to poker, you can play any of your favorite games even when you’re home alone. Either compete against the computer or play with far-away friends.

Irene Langness, a resident at Auburn’s Parkside Retirement Community, turns 104 on Dec. 17.

“I’ve been pretty lucky,” said Irene, part of the Parkside center for several years and a longtime Puget Sound area resident. “I don’t know if I have any secrets (to longevity). I just refuse to go. Being Irish, I’m so stubborn.”

A strong and independent woman, Irene enjoys pinochle, tea parties and her many friends. A gifted seamstress, she is famous for her cinnamon rolls,

her love of family, garages sales and dancing.

“She greets me with a big smile and many stories of the good ol’ days living in Seahurst where neighbors were like families,” said Auburn’s Vonnie Gooch, whose mother, Violet, shared a longtime friendship with Irene. “She still likes to get dressed up. Her sense of humor is still intact. … She tells me she is doing pretty darn good for 104, and I have to agree.”

STILL GOING STRONGCOURTESY PHOTO

For the rePorter

There may be some truth behind all those jokes about grandma behind the wheel. Even healthy adults with a safe driving record tend to make more driving errors as they age, such as failing to check blind spots, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association.

Most studies of older drivers have focused on people with dementia or other conditions that might impair their performance behind the wheel. This latest study was composed of 266 volunteers age 70 to 88 who showed no signs of dementia, lived indepen-dently and drove at least once a week.

Normal aging causes

distinct declines in brain functioning that could hin-der driving skills, including the ability to focus despite distractions on the road, make quick decisions, and avoid other vehicles or pe-destrians, the study found.

Study participants com-pleted a battery of cognitive tests and questionnaires about their driving history before they drove on a 12-mile route through city and suburban streets. A profes-sional driving instructor rode in the car, which was equipped with an extra brake on the front passen-ger side for safety. An oc-cupational therapist sat in the back seat and scored the drivers on various errors, including failure to check blind spots, speeding, sud-den braking without cause,

veering and tailgating. While men tend to think

they are better drivers, they didn’t fare any better on the tests than women. Blind spot errors were the most common mistake (among both men and women), followed by veering across lanes and failure to use turn signals. During the tests, 17 percent of the drivers made critical and potentially hazardous mistakes that re-quired the driving instruc-tor to hit the brake or grab the steering wheel.

The rate of critical errors during the driving test qua-drupled from the youngest group, age 70 to 74, which had an average of less than one critical error, to the oldest group, age 85 to 89, with an average of almost four critical errors.

Study finds driving errors increase with age

The idea that the Auburn Riverside football team would be in conten-tion for a South Puget Sound League North 4A title after finishing its 2012 season 1-9 may be

hard for some to wrap their minds around.

But not for the team’s first-year coaching staff.

“It’s not surprising to our staff, just to every-body else,” head coach Bryant Thomas said.

REpoRtER StAff

Caden Borden’s last-minute, 23-yard field goal lifted Auburn past Kent-Me-ridian 31-28 last Saturday at French Field, securing a South Puget Sound League North 4A victory and the Taylor Trophy.

The Royals (1-5 South Puget Sound League North 4A, 2-5 overall) fought back from a 28-13 deficit in the fourth quarter, with quarterback Quincy Carter scoring twice on the ground – once from 62 yards and once from a yard out – and adding a two-point conversion in the quarter to tie the game with less than five minutes left.

Auburn responded with a 76-yard drive that ate up the remaining clock time and resulted in Borden’s game-winning kick.

Auburn (5-2, 5-2) was paced by quarterback Brier

Atkinson who had two touchdown runs for 5 and 3 yards and finished with 162 yards on 19 carries. Halfback Kieo Buchanan added two rushing TDs and 110 yards on 16 car-

ries.Carter had all four

touchdowns for the Royals.The Trojans travel to

Federal Way (6-1, 6-1) at 7 p.m. next Saturday to take on the sixth-ranked Eagles

in a nonleague contest.Kent-Meridian travels to

Highline Stadium at 7 p.m. next Friday to play Mount Rainier (0-7, 0-7).

Tips, ways to be safe on Halloween

Halloween can be a spooky time of year for motorists and pedestrians as trick-or-treaters walk in and near roadways. In fact, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that Oct. 31 is one of the deadliest nights of the year for pedestrians.

AAA urges motorists to slow down and drive with caution, especially in low-lit neighborhoods between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight when pedestri-ans are most vulnerable. Also, if you plan to attend a Halloween party, arrange a sober driver to avoid the risks of impaired driving.

“Halloween can be a fun night for spooky celebra-tions and pranks, but im-paired driving is no joke,” said Jennifer Cook, senior manager of corporate communications at AAA Washington. “Many vehi-cle-pedestrian crashes and fatalities can be prevented if drivers don’t get behind the wheel after drinking.”

Tips to keep safe:• Avoid driving through

neighborhoods. If possible, avoid cutting through resi-dential streets where trick-or-treaters are likely to be.

• Watch for children in the street. Trick-or-treaters may not pay attention to cars and cross mid-block or between parked cars.

• Slow down. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian is more than twice as likely to be killed if they’re hit by a car traveling at 35 mph compared to 25 mph.

• Drive sober. Always designate a sober driver if you plan to drink.

Keep trick-or-treaters safe: • Check costumes. Choose

disguises that don't obstruct vision, opt for non-toxic face paint instead of masks, and add reflective material or tape to keep kids visible.

• Trick-or-Treat together. AAA recommends that parents accompany young trick-or-treaters.

• Make a plan. Review trick-or-treat safety precau-tions and plan your route ahead of time. Remind children never to cross the street mid-block or from between parked cars.

• Buckle up. Use appropri-ate seat belts or car seats. Have children exit, enter on the passenger side of the vehicle.

AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW fell 24-19 to Lakes on Friday in South Puget Sound League 3A action at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Lions (0-3 league, 1-6 overall) enjoyed a 13-10 lead after three quarters but were undone by a pair of Lakes (3-0, 3-4) rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Sophomore quarterback Gresch Jensen finished the game with 21-of-40 passing for 333 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions for the Lions. He

also had 70 yards on the ground on 17 carries.

Senior Ray Hardaway had seven receptions for 41 yards and carried the ball seven times for 29 yards.

Senior Joey Cassano had six catches for 176 yards and a touch-down, and senior Demetrius Wilbourn had five receptions for 48 yards and a TD.

Junior Devon Tandberg had two field goals.

The Lions visit Decatur (0-3, 1-6) at 7 p.m. next Friday.

Kellcy Emory (six assists, three goals for the season) also had a goal in the contest.

Mia Fornelius notched the Hornet’s (4-3, 8-5) only goal in the contest.

Auburn Mountainview and No. 4 ranked Bonney Lake (6-1-0, 11-1-1) are tops in the SPSL 3A with 18 points apiece. The Panthers hold the edge in overall points, 34 to the Lions’ 33.

Auburn Mountainivew played Decatur (1-6-0, 1-7-0) on Thursday,

with results unavailable at press time.The team finishes up its league

schedule with a road game against Lakes (0-6-0, 2-8-0) next Tuesday and a home game against Peninsula (3-3-0, 7-4-0) next Thursday, both with 7 p.m. start times.

ALSO: The Auburn (5-5-3) girls continue to fight for the fifth and final postseason berth out of the SPSL North 4A with a 6-0 blasting of Kentlake (2-9-1) Tuesday at Auburn Memorial Stadium. The Trojans play Kentwood (6-3-3) at noon Saturday at French Field and host Mount

Rainier (4-9-0) at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday. They wrap up the season against Auburn Riverside (6-4-2) at 7:30 p.m.next Thursday... Auburn Riverside fell 3-0 to first-place Ken-tridge (9-0-4) on Tuesday. Currently in fifth-place in the SPSL North 4A, the Ravens hosted Jefferson (6-3-4) on Thursday, with results unavail-able at press time. Auburn Riverside plays at Kentlake (2-9-1) at noon on Saturday and travels to Kentwood at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday, before wrap-ping up the season against Auburn next Thursday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

“One of the reasons we took this job is we saw the talent that was there. We knew there was a good group of kids here.”

This week the Auburn Riverside football team looks to shake off its first loss of the season, a 49-22 nonleague defeat this past Friday at the hands of Curtis, and prepare for Kentwood, a game that will decide the league champ.

“What we’ve got planned right now is just focusing on us,” Thomas said. “Part of our problem last week (against Curtis) was we focused more on what they did instead of what we do. Now we’re focus-ing on what we do and getting better at the things that we

weren’t as solid at last week. With that emphasis on us, it’s going to make us better when we play (Kentwood).”

Against Curtis, (5-1 SPSL South 4A, 6-1 overall) the Ravens (6-0 league, 6-1 overall) couldn’t overcome the Vikings 28-22 first-half lead.

Curtis scored 21 points in the second half while blank-ing the Ravens in the final 24 minutes of the game.

Auburn Riverside drew first blood in the contest when quarterback Kevin Thomson connected with Drew Wallen for a 52-yard touchdown with just 1 min-ute, 12 seconds elapsed on the clock.

Curtis responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, capped by Donnell Diego’s 1-yard

TD run.The Ravens closed out the

first quarter with a 13-play, 73-yard TD drive that saw

Thomson score from a yard out with 1:15 left in the frame.

After a pair of touch-downs by the

Vikings – a 32-yard TD strike from Scott Wismer to Hasani Childs, and a 38-yard run by Childs – Auburn Riverside scored its final TD of the game when Thomson found Wallen from 42 yards out.

Curtis would score four more times in the contest,

Carter McKay and Wismer hooking up for TD receptions of 42 and 25 yards, and Childs scoring twice on the ground, from 6 and 18 yards.

The Vikings bottled up the Raven running game in the contest, holding the team to just 57 yards rushing.

In the air, Thomson was 10-of-29 for 210 yards, with a pair of TDs and two intercep-tions.

Wallen finished with seven receptions for 155 yards.

For Curtis, Childs finished with 103 yards on 10 car-ries with three TDs. Diego chipped in with 86 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown.

Wismer was 16-of-19 for 321 yards and three TDs.

McKay added seven recep-tions for 175 yards and a pair

of TD catches.“Basically, Curtis’ coaches

put together a great scheme, offensively and defensively, that we had a hard time han-dling,” Thomas said. “They outplayed us up front.”

At first, Thomas said, his players took their first loss of the season hard.

“But they also understood that it’s just one game and you move on,” he said. “And that’s the way they took it and the way the coaching staff took it. We move on, we’ve got bigger fish to fry. We’ve got a league championship this week and that became our focus imme-diately after that game.”

This Friday, the Ravens will look for a win against Kentwood (5-1, 5-2) for the league title. They’ll have their

hands full with a Conqueror team ooking to rebound from two straight losses.

“They’ve got a real good running game and one of the top receivers in the league in Terrance Grady,” Thomas said. “It just makes it tough, but we’ll be ready for them.”

Bryant continued:“People are going to think

I’m crazy when I say this, but our expectations were always to win the league champion-ship,” Thomas said. “And to be able to do it, we’re fortunate to have that opportunity. And like I told the kids, opportuni-ty only knocks once. There is only one time you can be 7-0. Now that is passed. Now we have the chance to be league champs. Let’s take advantage of it.”
