A year ago the City of Pacific was in shambles.

With its Association of Washington Cities (AWC) insurance cancelled, the City was staring at 2013 without it, thanks to the mismanagement of former Mayor Cy Sun.

What a difference a year makes.

Today, with nearly 365 days of high-cost, stopgap

insurance to its credit, Pacific hopes to rejoin the AWC risk pool.

The City’s insurance had been set to expire at midnight on Dec. 31, 2012, cancelled by the Cities Insurance Association of Washington because of Sun’s mismanagement. In his first year in office, Sun had effectively gutted the City’s department head staff.

Outgoing Mayor Pete Lewis, left, and Councilmember John Partridge share a moment with well-wishers at their farewell reception Monday.ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter

Anybody who looked for the water sure to be misting Pete Lewis’ and John Partridge’s

eyes or the inevitable hints of sadness on their faces must have figured out right away that they were dealing with the wrong two guys.

During the farewell recep-tion at City Hall on Monday night and the council meeting afterward, the talk was upbeat, and the laughs, smiles and jokes frequent.

“People talk about mixed feelings, but I’m not really feeling that,” Lewis, Auburn’s mayor for the last 12 years, said of the end of his tenure. “I’ve gone through three wonderful, successful councils. We’ve done four vision maps that included everything we set out to do.

Police have swift system for fingerprintsBy ROBERT WHALE

From inky cards to elec-tronic fingerprinting.

A piece of new equipment has changed the way the Auburn Police Department takes fingerprints, yielding clean results, speeding up the process.

Speeding it up a lot. And saving a few bucks.“That’s approximately

$4,000 in annual savings we get by going to this,” Bill Peloza, chair of the Mu-nicipal Services Committee commented recently during Assistant Police Chief Bill Pierson’s presentation on the new fingerprinting system. “Hey, it’s tax dollars saved, man.”

Auburn police collect fingerprints of suspects and take them of new police hires and people applying for con-cealed weapons permits.

Under the old regime, a technician had to be physi-cally present, once a week, and only between certain

A King County Superior Court jury began deliberat-ing Tuesday afternoon in Kent whether William L. Phillip Jr., stabbed to death Seth Frankel on May 21, 2010 in Frankel’s Auburn home, which he shared with Bonny Johnson, a woman each man loved.

Family and friends of Frankel, 41, a city of Kent employee, were in court

Tuesday morning to hear closing arguments in front of the jury by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wyman Yip and defense attorney Anuradha Luthra. The trial lasted six weeks.

Yip portrayed Phillip, 33, of Portland, Ore., as a man who wanted to return to a romantic relationship with Johnson and went so far as to kill Frankel in an effort to get back together with her.

MerryChristmas &

Happy New Year!(And a special thank you to those of you I was able to

serve in 2013!)

The first earth moving equipment arrived this week at the future site of the 5-story Trek Apartments project between South Division and A Street Southeast, also known as the former Cavanaugh block. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter

DIGGING IN

“Auburn is poised to accomplish so much in the upcoming years, so for me, I just get to watch from a different chair,” Lewis said.

Partridge, chair of the Finance Committee, was a member of the Municipal Services Committee, chair of the Sound Cities Associ-ation Regional Law, Safety, and Justice Committee, and the National League of Cities Public Safety and Crime Prevention Steering Committee.

Among his proudest accomplishments on the City Council, he said, was the key role he played in establishing the Auburn Valley Humane Society and the AVHS animal shelter on

A Street Southeast.“I feel fulfilled, honored,

and I learned a lot,” Par-tridge said of his four-year-term on the City Council. “It’s nice to know how the City works, and I am look-ing forward to seeing what the next four years bring.

“Auburn’s my home, my children are the fourth generation in our house. I’ve got a business to run, and I’m going to be devot-ing more time to it. I have a daughter – Devanni – to marry March 22, and my youngest is graduating. We’ve got a lot of family activities to focus on in the next few months” he said.

Partridge would not rule out more political involve-ment in the future.

Lewis, a former banker,

was elected to the Council and began his one term there on Jan. 1, 1998. In November of 2001, he was elected to his first of three consecutive terms as mayor.

Among the boards on which Lewis served were the Association of Wash-ington Cities Economic Development and Infra-structure Subcommittee, of which he was chair, the King County Regional Pol-icy Committee, the Puget Sound Regional Committee Executive and Operations Board, the Valley Commu-nications Board, the Green River Valley Flood Control District, the South County Area Transportation Board and the Sound Cities As-sociation.

Emcee Nancy Backus, who will succeed Lewis, set the audience laughing when she asked people how many present knew Lewis was an ex-banker, and almost ev-erybody stuck their paws in the air — Lewis was known

to invoke this part of his past at nearly every turn.

Among the key accom-plishments in Lewis’ term were the construction of the Promenade, the completion of the M Street Overpass and Booth Bridge, the founding of the Valley Regional Fire Authority, the establishment of the SCORE regional jail, the Save Our Streets program, and four annexations, the largest of them Lea and West Hill, which brought the population from roughly 50,000 to 74,000.

Councilmember Bill Peloza said that Lewis “put Auburn on the map in South King County” and was highly respected for his leadership in bringing the cities of south King County together. He praised Par-tridge for his hard work on numerous issues, among them solid waste concerns and the founding of the AVHS.

Sometimes motorists get away with blindingly stupid stuff because state and city laws are silent about their particular misdeed.

That includes inatten-tive driving, which is a real problem on today’s streets, roads and highways.

Auburn City Council members on Monday night created a new section of the City Code to deal with this very problem.

The new section provides a violation that addresses

instances when drivers are inattentive, a lesser violation than negligence or recklessness.

The ordinance defines “inattentive driving” as operating a vehicle in a manner that:

• Fails to maintain a careful lookout for persons or property in the direction of travel

• Evidences a lack of attentiveness required to operate a vehicle and atten-tiveness that would permit the driver of a motor vehicle to observe anything

resting on, or traveling on, or entering the roadway in time to take appropriate action, as circumstances require.

A violation of the new law constitutes a traffic infraction “punishable by a monetary penalty of $250, plus all mandatory court costs, fees and assessments.”

City Attorney Dan Heid said in language attached to the ordinance that “it gives the police a tool that pro-vides flexibility where the violation does not necessar-ily constitute action that is criminally chargeable, but yet should be addressed as a traffic infraction under City codes.”

New City Code section addresses problem of ‘inattentive driving’

hours, to physically roll an individual’s fingers in ink and complete the process.

Each person to be fin-gerprinted required three cards.

With the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAF-IS), officers bring in the individual, press his or her prints against a glass screen and the computer does the rest, just as if the prints had been put on cards.

But where the old system took a month or more to get word back from the FBI, the new system can yield results in a day or two.

No longer do police run the risk of doing cards im-properly, prompting the FBI to direct them to bring the person back to the station to be fingerprinted again. That’s because IAFIS won’t let police submit prints, Pierson said, unless they are perfect. That is, unless they can be read electronically.

So far, so good.At the moment, how-

ever, there is one important limitation.

“We’re not able (at this time) to have it in a secure location. We can’t bring a suspect of a crime into our police department whom we can’t identify because now we have to uncuff them, and we run the risk

of a fight ensuing and a sus-pect winning that fight and having a suspect running through the police depart-ment. The future is to find a way to use the machine in a secure location,” Pierson said.

Pierson then turned to how the new system works for concealed weapons permit applications.

“What we would typically do in the past with a con-cealed weapons permit is that someone would come in and fill out an applica-tion. The technician would fingerprint the person and send everything off, and sometimes it would come back a month or two later. We would get it, and if the person passed background, a specialist had to come in to type out the card. Then we would call the person in and give them the permit.

“Now, we do it online,” Pierson said. “A person fills out an application and we put that pistol license right into the state system. … What we really get is better customer service and the ability to get these licenses to residents much faster,” Pierson said.

According to Pierson, about 1,000 Auburn residents have concealed weapons permits.

The fee for a concealed weapons permit is $50.

Giving Tree program reaches all

The Rupert Giving Tree continues to branch out and help others.

What began six years ago in JB and Diane Rupert’s home has expanded into something much greater for those in need during the holiday season.

“People used to bring bottles of wine and hostess gifts to our holiday parties,” Diane Rupert recalled. “So I said instead of doing that, let’s put something toward a needy cause — a giving tree.”

That night the Ruperts collected $3,800 in donations from their generous friends, and a new charity was launched.

It has grown considerably over time, be-coming one of the Auburn area’s biggest relief

efforts of its kind. In 2009, Rupert

partnered with the Auburn Rotary Club and Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department. Partnering with Rotary has resulted in larger, tax- deductible donations and

many new volunteers. The parks department coordinates lists of families in need through the various service agencies in Auburn.

This year the drive has expanded, bringing in new partnerships, donors and possibilities.

At last count, Rupert’s mission had col-lected about $40,000 in contributions for this season.

Thanks to Rupert and her team of volun-teers, as many at-risk children and needy families as possible are being helped.

“We don’t discriminate, we take every-body,” said Rupert, whom the City of Auburn honored earlier this year for her dedication in gathering funds and gifts for local agencies and residents of Auburn.

“Going on our sixth year … it has gotten huge,” she said of the program. “We buy ev-ery child a coat, we buy every child clothing, we buy every child toys. … We also take care of senior citizens in the local community.”

This year’s efforts have brought out the best in businesses and individuals.

This summer, the nation sweltered in a deadly heat wave.

High temperatures hovered near 100 de-grees, the heat buckled highways in several states, and firefight-ers in Indianapolis evacuated 300 people from a senior

living community when the air conditioning failed. Cities from New York to Seattle set up cooling centers as demand for electricity hit all-time highs.

This fall, the nation froze in near-record cold.

Temperatures in the upper Midwest recently plummeted to -31

degrees. Freezing temperatures and ice storms snarled air traffic across the nation. Overnight lows in the normally temperate Puget Sound region plunged into the teens and 20s — and stayed there for a week. Cities across the state opened public buildings during the night for the homeless, and electricity demand skyrocketed as homeowners pushed

up the thermostat to fend off the bone-chilling cold.

The one constant in these two extremes has been a high demand for electricity. In suffocating heat or freezing cold, ample power supplies are literally a matter of life or death.

Yet, if some environmental activists get their way, the U.S. will eliminate almost 90 percent of its electricity.

The Sierra Club and others have mounted an aggressive national

Cold weather plan is in place for the homeless

I read with interest Alex Gasperi’s letter regarding cold weather plans for the homeless (Auburn Reporter, Dec. 13). I’m always encouraged when young people care enough about social issues to express their concerns.

I need to point out though that Auburn does have a plan to provide shelter for homeless people during severe weather. Like most of the cities around us, a shelter is opened when temperatures are predicted to be below freezing for three consecutive nights, or when freezing temperatures are accompanied by snow or ice. There is also flexibility to open it at other times, when it might be needed.

The City contracts this ser-vice through the Auburn Food Bank, which actually runs and operates the shelter. The shelter is typically open from 9 p.m.

to 7 a.m. on the nights it is open, though occasionally, as Alex observed, it is sometimes opened later because the space is not available at 9. The shelter was open already this month from Dec. 2-10 and averaged 24 people per night, including some children.

We are actively seeking a larger space to accommodate additional people, as we’ve had

as many as 31 people in the shelter at one time, which is pretty crowded. It is challeng-ing, though, to find a facility able to accommodate that many people, with little notice and for indefinite periods of time, that meets the necessary access and utility require-ments.

Information regarding the shelter is published in many places, including on the Auburn Reporter website. The information is also provided to 911, 211, MultiCare Auburn Medical Center, and all of the emergency response organiza-tions in the City, so that they will all know where homeless people can go to find shelter. People can also sign-up to receive this type of information directly from the City via email.

I encourage Alex and other young people to stay involved in issues like this. It takes a whole community to solve is-sues of homelessness. Though young people don’t meet the age requirement to help in

campaign to eliminate the use of all fossil fuels. They started with coal and quickly expanded their pu-rity crusade to all forms of fossil fuels, including clean-burning natural gas. Their “War On (insert-any-fossil-fuel-here)” targets anything related to the use of fossil fuels – from coal mining to gas exploration to power plant siting to pipelines to transmission lines to supply

trains to shipping terminals.But renewables – wind,

solar, geothermal and hydropower combined – produce only 12 percent of our energy needs. Yet even that is under attack in some quarters.

Hydropower is the single largest form of renewable energy, producing 6.7 per-cent of the nation’s electric-ity. Here in Washington, hydropower produces more than 75 percent of our electricity. Neverthe-

less, many activists want to severely restrict hydropower production because of the dams. They even push to tear down key dams.

They have been success-ful to some degree. For example, our state law does not allow large utilities to include hydropower in their mandated renewable energy portfolio. Even environ-mentally conscious Califor-nia embraces hydropower.

If these anti-hydropower activists and their fellow

“no-fossil-fuel” warriors succeed, they will eliminate the source of 95 percent of our energy.

What then?How do they intend to re-

place it? What is their plan? How will they ensure that we can heat and cool 135 million homes, businesses, grocery stores, hospitals and schools?

They need to answer these questions, or we will freeze in the winter and swelter in the summer.

Yes, we must embrace all practical forms of energy, and the use of renewable energy has increased signifi-cantly over the years. But that increase comes with a cost — a cost that has been subsidized by taxpayers.

According to the Con-gressional Budget Office, the federal government awarded $16 billion in en-ergy subsidies in 2013 — 74 percent of it for renewable energy and energy effi-ciency. Fossil fuels received 20 percent of the total, and nuclear power received 7 percent. We also need to realize that, as costs for al-ternative energy rise, so do our electric bills, hitting the poorest and most vulner-able families the hardest.

Finally, how will the

opponents of fossil fuels solve the massive job losses and economic collapse that would follow the destruc-tion of the U.S. energy industry?

The American Petroleum Institute reports that the oil and gas industry supports 9.2 million jobs in the U.S. and pays $86 million a day in taxes. How do the “no-fossil-fuel” purists plan to replace that?

We need to have the answers to these questions before we lurch blindly forward on a campaign to eliminate the use of fossil fuels. Otherwise, we’ll all be left out in the cold.

donated a substantial grant, and the money was spent on gifts and food in the Auburn Walmart store and distrib-uted to local human services agencies. The store also pro-vided discounts and donated wrapping paper, Rupert said.

The Federal Way and Cov-ington Costcos donated 158 turkeys to help the Auburn Community Supper program and Auburn Food Bank.

Trapper O’Keefe, owner of Trapper Sushi restaurants, continues to be one of largest contributors to the program each year. The restaurant – with locations at the Kent Station, Covington, Bonney Lake, Tacoma, Silverdale and Bremerton – donated $15,000 to the cause through raffles where 100 percent of the proceeds went to the Giv-ing Tree.

Costco in Federal Way raised money in a contest among department man-agers, totaling more than $3,200. Rupert and her vol-unteers used the proceeds to purchase items and merchan-dise from the store, distribut-ing it to local agencies.

Costcos in Covington, Puyallup and Sumner played a part in raising money and donations.

The Tacoma Model T Ford Club raised $400 when its

member, Keith Lee, learned of the efforts where he works at the Costco Sumner Distri-bution Center.

For Rupert, the Giving Tree program touches home.

“It means everything,” Rupert said. “I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to be one of those kids. …

“We have been very blessed,” she said. “It is our responsibility to take care of people in our own back yard.”

Rupert is the face of the Giving Tree, but many people help to make this happen through their donations of time, money and expertise.

“JB and I want to thank each and every one of my friends and families, and business associates who have reached out to help all these families who have nothing.”

Auburn does care about its homeless

Alex Gasperi, I love your heart.There is a plan. And because there

is a plan – the homeless had a place to stay on the night you are concerned about.

The cold weather shelter is operated by the Auburn Food Bank under the Emergency Management Division of the City of Auburn. The shelter is a “cold weather shelter” that opens when the temperature reaches 32 degrees and below. The shelter is operated by volun-teers. Cots and blankets are provided by Emergency Management. Wonder-ful donors provide more blankets, food, hand warmers, socks and coats.

The shelter was opened on Dec. 5 – beginning at 9 each night through Dec. 10 – except the one night you men-tion – when it had to open late. The buildings are public property and they are often rented by people wanting to have a meeting, or a birthday party or a

wedding reception, etc. The City owns the building and

provides it as a shelter. Many nights we are able to open before 9 if there is no other function in the building. On the night you speak of, a private group had rented the building until 11 p.m. “Opening late” wasn’t the fault of some-one “not caring.”

There are many ways to find out about the shelter and when it is open. The City posts the schedule on its website. (Yes, homeless people can ac-cess the Web through computers at the library.) Signs are posted at the library, in our grocery stores, gas stations and at some of the major bus stops and churches.

There is a meal every day in Auburn where homeless and those who need a little extra help can eat. Announce-ments are made at each of these meals. I have personally called those that have given me their phone numbers and told them when the shelter will be open.

Auburn does care about the people who live here. This is a very giving city. Auburn is full of people like you who have seen a need and want to help. You have done one thing to help – and that is to care and to encourage others to care.

There isn’t a person who has read your letter who doesn’t sense that. Thank you – on behalf of my friends – whose roof is a beautiful sky with stars that shine and sunrises and sunsets that are gorgeous. And even in the worst of weather – they are smiling and laugh-ing and sharing what they have with others who they believe are worse off than they are. – Debbie Christian, executive director, Auburn Food Bank

Waxing Poetic by Dick Brugger

Auburn’s Of� cial Poet Laureate

A Time of Wonder

Scriptures and Traditions tell us ChristmasIs a hallowed time, the Word made � esh.

Our Auburn epitomizes this in many

Languages and tongues, our many wordsMade � esh. This yuletide, may we

Rejoice in who we are!

Dick Brugger Christmas, 2013

The situation was so dire that City officials at one point considered annexing into neighboring Auburn or disincorporating altogether rather than operate without the liability insurance they needed to protect elected officials and the administration from lawsuits.

A last-minute reprieve in the form of a new insurance policy saved the day, but at the same time it saddled Pacific with a higher premium cost, about $250,000 annually.

“Basically, it was cata-strophic insurance cover-age,” said current Mayor Le-anne Guier, who, as council president, helped secure the City’s current policy. “The deductible is extremely high ($250,000 for liabil-ity, $500,000 for employee coverage), and we have to pay for a third-party ad-ministrator for everything. They review any claims that come against the City.”

Although the stop-gap insurance may have rescued the City, after voters recalled Sun in a special election, the current administration has made getting back into the AWC risk pool a priority.

At the Dec. 9 City council meeting, Guier presented councilmembers with a proposed interlocal agree-ment between Pacific and the AWC’s Risk Manage-ment Service Agency (RMSA) that would, with several stipulations, allow Pacific to reenter the risk pool.

“Basically, we agreed to

it, but it’s not official until it’s signed,” Guier said of the agreement. “Council needed to see what they were asking from us, but it’s not confirmed yet.”

(The ACW’s decision was announced Wednesday but the results were unavailable

at press time.)Among the nu-

merous stipulations the City of Pacific has to fulfill in the proposed agree-ment are:

• complete claims training provided by the AWC RMCA for all clerks, sec-

retaries and risk managers responsible for claims sub-mission within six months;

• complete AWC “Elected Officials Essentials” train-ing for elected/appointed mayor, council members, commissioners and

board members within six months;

• complete AWC RMSA “Being an Effective Board Member” training for all civil service commission and park board members within six months;

• contact the AWC RMSA before taking any personnel action that may result in the termination of any employee, supervisor or department head; and

• submit the City’s “Personnel Policies and Procedures” handbook to the AWC RMSA.

The agreement also calls for any Pacific employees who drive a City vehicle to complete a defensive driving course every three years, in addition to an Emergency Vehicle Op-erating Course mandated every three years for police officers.

Guier said the AWC is to provide training courses free to the City.

Despite the long list of requirements, Guier said, the cost savings make the agreement a win for the City.

“We haven’t seen what the final cost will be to the City, but it will probably be about half of what we’re paying now,” she said. “And they provide third-party management, which we have to pay for now. This is huge for us to get into the risk pool. We just have to do all the training and basi-cally play by their rules.”

Yip said the evidence of a towel found near the murder scene with Phillips DNA on it, cellphone records and text messages prove that he committed the crime.

“We have a person high on adrenaline who was amped up,” Yip said about a phone call Phillip made to a friend after Frankel’s death. “(A friend) took it as be-ing amped up about (Portland Timbers) soccer. I suggest to you he was amped up because he ac-complished what he set out to do, to murder Seth Frankel.

“His text message to Bonny later that evening (after the kill-ing) bared that same mark, the mark of premeditated murder. He complimented her about how she sounded on the radio after killing her boyfriend.”

Yip said “the defendant has to be found guilty because it’s the only conclusion that makes sense.”

Phillip faces a first-degree mur-

der charge. He pleaded not guilty to the charge in March 2011 after his arrest by Auburn Police in December 2010 in Portland.

Luthra told the jury that the state was “trying to put a square peg in a round hole,” by blaming Phillip for the murder.

“Not a single witness can put Mr. Phillip in Mr. Frankel’s house on the night Mr. Frankel was killed,” Luthra said. “Not a single witness can tell you that Mr. Phil-lip knew where Mr. Frankel lived or worked or even knew his last name. Not a single witness can give you a reason why Mr. Phillip would kill Mr. Frankel.”

Luthra said the state charged “the wrong person,” simply be-cause Phillip couldn’t be excluded from being in Auburn the night Frankel was killed. She said police failed to investigate other people who might have committed the murder.

One of Frankel’s neighbors testified that a corner house was

a known drug house. Detectives didn’t talk to anyone at the house, Luthra said.

“Maybe someone from the drug house that was high on meth came to the house and had a confrontation with Mr. Frankel and figures out he wasn’t who they were looking for, and they fight and there’s a tragic result,” Luthra said. “The police have said because nothing was stolen from the house so it must have been personal to Mr. Frankel. But there was a lot of evidence ignored. Maybe because they found the love triangle or love square intriguing so they ignored other possibilities.”

Yip said cellphone records put Phillip in Kent on May 21, 2010 just before Frankel got off work from his job at City Hall as a video program coordinator. The records from cell towers also put Phillip in Auburn, just four blocks from Frankel’s home.

“Miss Luthra likes to make a lot of movie and TV references,”

Yip said during a rebuttal to the defense attorney’s closing argu-ment. “This is real life. This isn’t about police putting a GPS tracker on the defendant so we can track every movement he makes. This is good police work. They got his phone numbers. These are records kept by multi-billion dollar com-panies. They’re not in the business of tracking, but these records are very helpful in the investigation.”

Yip’s movie and TV comment referenced to Luthra mention-ing the movies “Legally Blonde,” and “Full Metal Jacket,” as well as the TV show, “Modern Family,” during her closing. Luthra used “Legally Blonde,” as an example of an accused killer who didn’t testify. Phillip did not testify.

“You’ve heard his story through conversations with police and text messages,” Luthra said. “You have his voice and story. He had noth-ing to hide and nothing to prove.”

Phillip traveled to Auburn from Oregon on May 21, 2010 just to

get away because he recently had lost a family member and friend, Luthra said. She said his best friend’s sister lived in Federal Way. She claimed the cellphone towers aren’t necessarily accurate and that Phillip could have been at an Au-burn bar or restaurant rather than Frankel’s house when cell records showed him in town.

Yip said it’s tough to believe the defense’s argument that Phillip just happened to be in Kent and Auburn on the same night that Frankel was killed because he took a drive from Oregon after being upset.

“He’s on his way to see his friend’s sister in Federal Way but he didn’t go to Federal Way, he goes to Auburn,” Yip said. “He must be the unluckiest man in the universe. And on the one day he goes to Auburn, it’s this day. And the one day he goes to Auburn, he travels to Kent first at the time that Seth Frankel gets off of work. That’s how unlucky he is.”

Auburnites get a chance Dec. 28 to kiss those holiday blues goodbye with a night of laughter courtesy of the Auburn Big Holi-day Comedy Show at the Auburn Avenue Theater.

“This year it is Pat Cashman, Jon Keister and myself,” said Brooks McBeth, a Renton native and nationally-renowned funny man. “It’s three wiseass men com-ing together.”

In addition to McBeth, Keis-ter and Cashman – stars of the Northwest’s own “Almost Live” and “The 206” comedy television shows – the night will feature stand-up

comedienne Michelle Westford, and possibly a surprise or two.

“It will be some traditional stand-up from Jon and I, then Pat will be doing his exploration into the holiday season,” McBeth said. “He’ll look at things like letters to Santa and Christmas gifts. And there will be a few surprises along the way. Whenever we get to-gether, there is no way of knowing what is going to happen.”

The show marks the annual reunion of Cashman, McBeth and Keister, who got their start on Seattle’s own “Almost Live” in the 1980s and ’90s.

In the years since that show ended, McBeth has hammered out a comedy career, opening

for the likes of Jack Black, Frank Caliendo, Drew Carey and Joel McHale – also an “Almost Live” alumnus and the star of TV’s “Community.”

“We try and get together at least once a year,” McBeth said. “Jon and I do a couple shows together throughout the year, and every-one is always yelling for us to put something together up here.

“We love the people in Auburn, and it’s our favorite place to play,” he said. “We just like making this a huge holiday event. We all love each other, and we’re just excited to do a huge show.”

Proceeds from the sale of drinks and concessions at the show go to the Auburn Kiwanis, and a dona-

tion will be made to the City of Auburn.

Music by the Fabulous Mur-phtones opens the show at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the 18-and-older show are $20 each and available by calling 1-800-838-3006, or online at www.brownpapertickets.com.

SAMPLER: A JOB WELL DONEThe Corestar Pilates’

fifth annual Thanksgiv-ing Day Sampler, an exercise program and nonperishable food drive, was a big success, according to event coor-dinators.

Corestar Pilates – in conjunction with the City of Auburn – or-ganized a two-hour exercise class for the public on Nov. 28 in the

Gymnasium at Les Gove Park. Proceeds benefitted the Auburn Food Bank.

“We had almost 60 people attend and raised $1,260 and two barrels of food,” said Ruth Stover, owner and operator of Corestar Pilates. “It was a great time. I am thrilled that we were able to reach so many people to encourage them to attend and in the end help so

many with these gener-ous donations.”

Participants were asked to make a $10 donation and bring non-perishable food.

The benefit has grown in size and support each year. The benefit at the new gym brought in more than 40 participants, rais-ing more than $700 and collecting a good bulk of food last year.

Unforeseen dental problems can range from the mild annoyance of a chipped tooth that is irritating your tongue, all the way up to an intensely painful abscessed tooth.

The chances of endur-ing the most typical dental emergencies can usually be prevented by having regular preventive dental visits that include a cleaning, examination and X-rays.

Your dentist usually can spot trouble during such and appointment long before it becomes a pain-ful emergency. However, when a dental emergency does strike, knowing how to temporarily alleviate the pain can feel like lifesav-ing information. Some

dental offices have reduced hours or are on vacation during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so this information is especially important to keep on hand this time of year.

So, what do you do if it’s the week-end, your dentist is out of town, or you are? What, if anything can you do to alleviate and stabilize things yourself until

you can be seen by your dentist? Actually, there are often things you can do. Read on to learn what to do about several common dental issues. You may want to cut out this article and keep it on your fridge for future use.

If your tooth has been sensitive on and off for a while but suddenly seems

to have gotten a lot worse, chances are the nerve in-side the tooth has become infected and swollen. Call your dentist. You have the beginnings of an abscessed tooth and likely have only two options: root canal therapy or an extraction.

If your toothache starts immediately after eating something that became lodged between your teeth, grab some floss and see if you can remove it, followed by swishing with warm salt water. If that doesn’t do it, avoid the temptation to use a paperclip or some other tool, since you risk making things worse. Popcorn hulls are the most com-mon culprit.

If you have had a filling or a crown come out, there are products like

Dentemp available at most drugstores and pharmacies that allow you to temporarily re-cement crowns or even make temporary fillings by mixing it into a thick paste and pushing it into the space with a damp Q-Tip. In a pinch, even sugarless gum can be used as a temporary covering for a sensitive tooth. Just chew it up until soft and then mold it into the area with your tongue for tempo-rary relief.

What if someone has knocked out a tooth from a blow, a fall or a sports ac-cident? Rinse off the tooth with water or milk. Avoid handling the root itself and do not scrub it, as you will damage the critical liga-ment tissue that will help it reattach to the bone. Gently insert it back into the socket if possible, or store it in milk, water or even the injured person’s mouth between the cheek and gum. In any case, do not let it dry out. Getting it back into the socket within

30 minutes will improve the success rate. Get to the dentist ASAP for stabilization and antibiotics.

If you receive a blow to your front tooth and a large piece fractures off, attempt to locate the fragment and bring it with you to the dentist, stored in water. It may be able to be reattached.

The above information should prove useful in about 90 percent of the typical things I see on a monthly basis in my office. Again, many of these scenarios can be avoided by regular exams. Don’t put them off and your chances of having your vaca-tion or another special event ruined by a toothache are slim.

Prevention is always more cost effective than emergency care, and more comfortable for everyone.

City honors Parks as Tree Steward

The City of Auburn Urban Tree Board has recognized the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Depart-ment as a Tree Steward for preserv-ing the Alaskan Cedar tree at 910 Ninth St. SE.

Daryl Faber, parks director, was presented with a proclamation and

certificate during the City Council meeting on Monday.

Additionally, the Alaskan Cedar Tree will be designated as a Heri-tage Tree in Auburn.

The preservation of the tree hap-pened during the planning stages of the new gymnasium at Les Gove Community Campus.

The project involved redesign-ing the parking lot where the tree

is rooted. When parks staff realized the plans required removal of the tree, the department stepped in and required that the architectural drawings be redone and the parking lot changed in order to keep the tree standing tall. It is estimated that the tree stands at about 70 feet and could be nearly a century old.

“This was a good save,” Faber said.

This summer University of Washington junior Dan-ny Shelton took advantage of a rare opportunity.

Shelton, an Auburn High School graduate and a starting defensive line-man for the Huskies, was among 11 UW student-athletes who participated in a study-abroad class in Tahiti, an extension of a Pacific Islander studies class Shelton took as part of his anthropology major.

For Shelton – also Poly-nesian, of Samoan descent – the 10-day stay was an eye-opener.

“We were able to work with elementary students and in the community and learn about their culture and how family-oriented they are,” Shelton said. “And that gave me more insight into my culture, because it’s similar.”

In addition to work-ing with the students at Punavai Plain E’cole E’le’mentarie, several members of the class – Shelton included – helped out with some of the nascent football teams sprouting up in Tahiti, where soccer and rugby are king.

“It really just opened our eyes, and we remembered how important football

is,” he said. “Despite all the hardships, they still show their love for football, and that was shocking for us. We’re at the point where we have been playing football for most of our lives. It’s become a job. But seeing how fun they take it reminded us how fun it is. It gave us a mindset that playing for the other guys,

the team, is what matters.”Shelton said that lesson,

that newfound love for the game, helped him weather the storm that kicked up after the last regular season game, when head coach Steve Sarkisian announced he was leaving for the University of Southern California.

“We found out the same

day that everybody else did,” said Shelton, who was recruited by Sarkisian. “It was out in the media before the team met. I felt just like any other player, disappointed and a little angry. But in the end, you’ve just got to move on. I learned that my freshman

The topic, “who is the best basketball player in Auburn’s Callero family” raises a bit of controversy.

Pose that question to dad, Tony, 44 and his three sons Josh, 17, Max, 15 and Trey, 11 and all four quickly raise their hands to claim the title.

“I clearly have the best jump shot,” Tony says.


“We’ve had multiple shooting contests and they never come close. Round the World or three-point contests.”

“You stopped doing that when I was seven because you knew I was going to catch up,” Max retorts.

The Calleros are a family steeped in basketball tradi-tion stretching back more than 50 years.

Family patriarch Vern Callero, Tony’s dad, played for Seattle Prep and helped the team place sixth in the state tournament in 1951.

Thirteen of Tony’s 16 brothers and sisters played basketball for Enumclaw High School, as did Tony. Most notable is his older brother, Joe Callero, who coached for several years at Seattle University and is the head coach at Division I California Polytechni-cal University in San Luis Obispo (Cal-Poly). Younger brother Marc Callero is an assistant at Pacific Lutheran University.

For Tony, who coached

Auburn High School for three seasons in the early 2000s and now runs the Trojan youth basketball programs, the coaching bug bit early and deep.

“I coached my first undefeated season when I was in sixth grade. It was my brother Marc’s fourth grade team,” Tony said. “I thought that was pretty cool. I always played with kids whose dads were coaches.”

After his playing career as a guard at Enumclaw, Green River Community College and Central Washington University, from which he graduated in 1993, Tony began his teaching and coaching career.

“I found I had a lot more control of the game as a coach than I did as a back-up point guard,” Tony said.

After stints in Kelso and Dayton, Tony jumped at the chance to move back to King County and coach at Auburn.

“Tim Cummings was the district AD, and a former coach here asked me to apply for the job,” Tony said. “Out of respect for him, I

,decided to apply for the job and was hired.”

Tony continued:“This was before Auburn

Mountainview opened, so Auburn was one of the largest high schools,” he said. “They had a lot of success in the playoffs. They had always been really big. I would come down here,

and it was like the University of Auburn for an Enumclaw kid. The district playoffs were always down here. I’d been in this gym when it was jam packed from the time I was four or five years old, coming down to the playoff games. The chance to be the head coach at that school was pretty exciting.”

Tony coached the team from 1999-2002 before he resigned to take a job as an assistant at Seattle University with older brother Joe.

“He came and asked me

to come coach at Seattle U as an assistant coach,” Tony said. “I was leaving for practices on Saturday morn-ings with baby Josh and baby Max and a pregnant wife, and Joe gave me a chance to be part time.”

After the birth of Trey – “we ran out of names so we started numbering them,” Tony said – Tony took a year off from coaching before taking over the youth program for Auburn coach Ryan Hansen.

“It seemed natural for my

kids, if they had an interest, for me to coach them,” he said. “They picked it up in-stantly. As early as they could walk, they were dribbling.”

Josh, now a point guard on the varsity team, said playing for Auburn was ingrained.

“For me, it was about seeing all those guys playing each year,” Josh said. “From the time I was really young, I just wanted to be just like them. Seeing my dad coaching just got me closer to that.”

As for playing for dad as they came up through the youth programs, Max – a freshman guard on the Trojan C-team – said it was natural, and at times fun.

“One time he read in a parenting magazine that your kids should call you coach, not dad, when you’re coaching them,” Max said. “But I still called him dad.”

“During basketball he’s coach, but at home he’ll talk to me about basketball like he’s my dad,” Josh said.

As for who is the best all-around hoopster in the family, the answer is still up for grabs.

“I know when Trey and I are on a team against Max and Josh we have a hard time beating them,” Tony said.

year when my defensive coach left. I had to talk with the older guys and decide whether I wanted to stay. In the end I stuck it out and gave the new coach a chance.”

Shelton continued:“Football is a game of

business. (Sarkisian) has to what he has to do, and we have to do what we have to do as a team. That’s kind of what we’re doing. We’re talk-ing with the younger guys and just getting it into our heads that in the end you’ve got to just keep pushing and doing what you do on the field.”

On Dec. 27 the 8-4 Hus-kies take on the 8-4 Brigham Young University Cougars in the Fight Hunger Bowl at AT&T Field in San Francis-co, with Marques Tuiasosopa as interim head coach.

“I think Coach Marques is doing really good,” Shelton said. “He’s emphasizing fun for the young guys. We’ve all been through a lot this year, and he’s doing a great job making it fun and not pushing us too much. We’ve built a trust with him, and we want to work for him. It’s a hard time for the coaches as well, and they’re just do-ing what’s best for them and their families.”

In addition to Tuiasosopa, defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and defensive-line coach Tosh Lupoi should be on the sidelines for the Fight Hunger Bowl. And although rumors continue to circulate about which of the coaches will remain after new Husky head coach Chris Peterson takes charge, Shelton said it

doesn’t affect his preparation for the game.

We’re just going to keep playing and working togeth-er as a team,” Shelton said.

And after the game, the Peterson-era begins.

“We got to talk with (Peterson) the Friday after Sark left,” Shelton said. “First impressions mean a lot, and I think he did a great job with that. I feel like the team likes him. We don’t know what to expect from him, but we’re just going to be coachable. We’ll be ready after the bowl game. One thing is that he’s been around practice, watching us and how we work. And that says a lot about him.”

Regardless of how the Huskies finish the season, Shelton said, he’s already looking ahead to the work he needs to put in for his senior season.

“After the season it’s work-ing on more technique and speed drills for pass rushing,” Shelton said. “I felt that I was used more as a run stopper and gap stuffer. I want to improve and do more pass rushing.”

Shelton added:“I want to finish my

degree and see what my chances are in the NFL,” Shelton said. “That’s my plan.”
