THE VALLEY REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY IS THERE FOR US. NOW,
Less than a year ago the RYO Filling Station cigarette rolling machines seemed to Jean Wood like golden tickets to financial stability.
Now, thanks to a recent fed-eral law that has made it illegal for Wood to sell cigarettes rolled in the machines without a manufacturer’s license, the two $35,000 machines are useless hunks of metal.
“Nobody wants these machines now,” Wood said. “I’m sitting on about $200,000 worth of inventory I can’t do anything with.”
Wood said she and her husband used money from his pension fund to finance the opening of Butts Tobacco, with locations in Auburn and Edgewood.
The business model seemed simple, foolproof.
Centered on the RYO Filling Station machine – each capable of spitting out 200 cigarettes made from pipe tobacco and pre-made tubes in about 10 minutes – the roll-your-own machines offered smokers a way around the high cost of pre-made cigarettes, which typi-cally cost about $70 a carton (200 cigarettes).
Paying anywhere from $21 to $35 for tobacco, tubes and machine rental, customers would use the machines to roll a carton of ciga-
rettes. The reduced prices would come primarily from lower taxes, as the state taxes pipe tobacco at lower rates.
The idea that she could be on the verge of going out of business less than a year later was never part of Wood’s plan.
Yes, Wood said, there had been rumblings of possible challenges from big tobacco at the start, but she insists that the machine’s dis-tributor, RYO Machines, LLC out of
Girard, Ohio, reassured her. Wood said RYO promised it would help back opposition to any regulations against the roll-your-own industry.
“We knew possibly something could happen,” she said. “But the distributors of the machines said they would fight anything (in court).”
Since the July 6 passage of the law designating RYO businesses as manufacturers, however, Wood said, she has been on her own.
“They’re (RYO Machines) just bagging it,” she said. “They’re spent financially.”
According to RYO Machines, which said it has sold more than 1,000 of the Filling Station ma-chines, the company no longer provides support for them.
“We are disappointed in the recent legislative initiative to limit our business model and hope that many of you successfully transi-tion into permitted manufacturers under the new law,” President Phil Accordino said in a statement on the company’s Web site.
Wood has already closed the doors at her Edgewood store. Meanwhile, her Auburn location is barely getting by selling supplies for roll-your-own cigarettes.
“I’m doing $200 a day if I’m lucky here, just selling tubes, tobacco and little hand-rolling machines,” she said. “People are just doing the same thing I was doing with these little machines.”
Wood said there is talk of obtain-ing an injunction against the law, but without the financial backing of RYO Machines, she’s skeptical it can succeed.
For now, she’s focused on just trying to squeak by until her lease expires in October.
“I’m sitting with one building completely shut down and the other struggling,” Wood said. “I’m going downhill fast.”
THE CiTy of AuBuRN has a new addition to its web-site in an effort to help citizens with unkempt, abandoned properties in their neighbor-hoods.
Officially known as Mortgage Holder Owned Abandoned Properties, the webpage functions as a “Wall of Shame” to highlight the owners of abandoned proper-ties in the city with contact information for the mortgage holders so that citizens can make phone calls, write a let-ter or send an email to encour-age the mortgage holders to clean up the properties and keep them maintained.
Because of legal require-ments, the City has to go through several steps to get action. The hope is that resi-dents’ efforts may push these mortgage holders to respond faster to take action their properties.
By working together, residents and City staff can effectively respond to and minimize the damaging im-pacts of abandoned properties on neighborhoods.
For more information on a specific property, to report an abandoned property in your neighborhood, or to learn more about the City’s code compliance efforts, please con-tact the City of Auburn Permit Center at 253-931-3020 or by email at [email protected].
feds shut down Ryo tobacco shops

Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a 25-year-old Bonney Lake man with vehicular assault for alleg-edly striking and criti-cally injuring an Auburn woman July 19 as she stood alongside her car at 901 1st NE, near her home.
Samuel Cruz will be ar-raigned Aug. 6.
As of Tuesday after-noon, the victim, Stacey Ankerfelt, 28, is making progress in her recovery.
According to police, shortly before 6 p.m. that day, Ankerfelt, 28, had
walked around to the street side of her car when Cruz, southbound on J Street Southeast, struck her, then continued into a car parked in front of her vehicle.
Witnesses said the impact threw Ankerfelt at least 30 feet. Accord-ing to the Valley Regional Fire Authority, firefighters found her on the road, unconscious and with life-threatening injuries.
Medics rushed her to Harborview Medical Cen-ter in Seattle with multiple skull fractures, a cerebral hemorrhage and broken ribs.
Ankerfelt teaches fifth grade at Kent's Scenic Hill Elementary School.
Cruz, police say, stopped and waited for police, fire, and medics to arrive. Police arrested him.
Investigators who spoke to Cruz noticed that he seemed to be under the in-fluence of drugs or alcohol because he was struggling to walk and keep his bal-ance when they took him to hospital for a manda-tory blood draw.
According to police, Cruz told investigators he takes a drug called Subox-one for opiate dependency.
Man charged with vehicular assault
“We just can’t let anyone get in there right now,” Massey said before the ar-rest. “There is an ongoing investigation.”
Before his arrest, Sun declared that the files were crucial to the operation of the City.
“He’s following the at-torney’s orders,” Sun said. “He’s not following mine. I’m supposed to be the boss. All of the files are in there, locked up. We can’t move without them. The City is at a standstill right now.”
Sun, aided by a lock-smith and several public works employees with hand trucks, tried to get into the office. After tearing off the police tape, Sun was handcuffed and transported to the Pacific Public Safety building, where he was
placed in a holding cell.After about 45 minutes
Sun was released without being charged. He was also given an email from Luce explaining the decision to seal the office.
“I want to make you aware that I have instructed the police department to ensure the personnel records of the City are pro-tected from loss or destruc-tion,” Luce wrote. “I made this decision because there is an ongoing investigation, and there have been recent incidents of destruction of City records...”
The email added that, should Sun require files from the sealed office, “a copy will be made and it will be provided to you. Please direct your request to the police department.”
After his release Sun
explained his actions at a news conference at City Hall. He said he had been trying to obtain “necessary files to run the City,” in-cluding those detailing job descriptions, possibly to fill vacancies as he reorganizes Pacific’s government.
Later July 19, King County Sheriff Steven Strachan confirmed that his department was investigat-ing the mayor.
“I was reached by phone by the Pacific Council Pres-ident Leanne Guier, who asked if she could request the King County Sher-iff ’s office could become involved in an investigation of criminal wrongdoing involving members of the City of Pacific,” Strachan said.more story online…auburn-reporter.com
Marcus Frounfelter was arraigned July 19 and pleaded not guilty to a charge of second degree murder for the stabbing death of 23-year-old Roger Roberts of Auburn on July 2.
Frounfelter, 24, of Seattle is scheduled for a case set-ting hearing on Tuesday, July 31 at the King County Courthouse. Frounfelter allegedly stabbed Rob-erts as the Auburn man tried break up a fight in which Frounfelter was not involved.
According to the Auburn police affidavit of probable cause, which forms the basis of the single charge, Roberts had intervened to break up a fight between a man and woman and was preparing to return to a friend’s house across the street when Frounfelter allegedly stabbed the un-armed Roberts in the chest. The King County Medical Examiner reported Roberts died of a single stab wound to the heart.
Frounfelter later told police that he had come outside because he had seen his youngest child in the street among the fighting adults. According to witnesses cited in the affidavit, however, none of Frounfelter’s children were outside at that time.
According to the affida-vit, the series of events that led to Roberts death started
with a verbal argument between Frounfelter’s aunt and her live-in boyfriend in their home at 909 6th St. SE. When the fight became violent it spilled into the front yard and onto the street in front of their house.
A group of friends in a house across the street, including Roberts, were enjoying a get together when they heard the noise and ran out to break up the fight. According to court records, a man who lives in that house held the male side of the fighting couple down to make sure he wouldn’t hit anybody, while another man restrained the woman and one of her female acquaintances.
According to the af-fidavit, witnesses told police that the fighters had calmed down and the neighbors were walking home when Frounfelter emerged from the house. Just as the neighbor across the street reached his front yard, he turned back to urge his friends, including Rob-erts, to return with him. Instead, he saw Roberts stumbling into the street.
According to the affida-vit, the man thought at first that Roberts was having a heart attack, which would have been consistent with previous medical problems, he said, but he soon real-ized that Roberts had been stabbed. The man told po-lice that he tried to stop the bleeding. He said he hadn’t seen the actual stabbing.
According to the af-fidavit, a female witness told police that after the fight was broken up she turned and saw Roberts ly-ing in the street. When she realized he’d been stabbed, she turned to Frounfelter, whom she knew carried a knife.
According to the affida-vit, the woman approached Frounfelter “who had wide eyes, and asked him, ‘what did you do?’ (She) stated that Frounfelter did not respond but looked down at his hands.”
Within minutes of receiv-ing the 911 call, police caught up with Frounfelter in a car with several occu-pants inside several blocks away, a bloody folding knife still in his pocket, accord-ing to the affidavit. Asked if he had stabbed anybody, according to the affidavit, Frounfelter allegedly admit-ted to police that he had “but didn’t know who he stabbed.” According to the affidavit, he admitted also that the knife on his person was the one he had used to stab his victim.
According to the af-fidavit, Frounfelter allegedly admitted to detectives that he had about five to six beers and a couple of hits of marijuana before the fight. He told detectives that he suffers from brain trauma, has undergone some 19 surgeries to correct the problem and has suffered a series of strokes.

various high schools in the area, including Kent and Auburn.
Throughout the course of the week students shad-owed hospital workers, listened to speakers and got information about the best schools and classes to at-tend to pursue their career goals.
“Some kids got to see Ceasarean sections, some got to see open heart sur-gery,” Santkuyl said. “They got to be in a clinical setting and follow the practitioner.”
This year’s week of activities is completely dif-ferent from previous years, Santkuyl said. The nurses pushed for the week of teaching to become more hands on and to force the students to think critically. At the end of the week, the
groups of students went from station to station putting the hands-on skills they learned into action through staged emergency situations, such as the base-ball game scenario Kroll participated in.
Kroll said attending the camp and participating in the various opportunities offered has reconfirmed her career goals. She applied to participate in the camp because she is interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. There are not many opportunities at her school or in her community that offer real world experi-ence. The camp gave her the opportunity to witness real medical procedures.
“I got to stay in the OR (operating room) and saw part of an open heart sur-gery,” she said. “It was cool to meet actual patients and
see real medical stuff.”While she is not sure
exactly what position she wants to have in the medical field, Kroll said she would like it to be in oncology.
“But the Nurse Camp really helped me solidify that that’s really what I want to do,” she said. “This is an amazing camp, such an amazing experience.”
For fellow Kentwood stu-dent Kate Kramer, going to Nurse Camp has changed her original goals. Initially, she wanted to become a physical therapist. But after job shadowing in the emergency room, Kramer said she wants to pursue a career as an emergency room nurse.
“I’ve gotten to see so much,” she said. “It’s not easy as you see in the mov-ies. In reality, it’s actually really difficult.”

Services Committee. “I went by it yesterday, and it looked like hell.”
No argument from com-mittee members about that hell stuff.
While Daryl Faber, director of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation and Maintenance Supervisor Mike Miller, who is in charge of the medi-ans, are at work on a long-range plan to address the eyesore,
It’s the short term that’s really opened the steam valve in Peloza’s ears.
“For God’s sake, I can get out there with a hoe on a Saturday, and put some pansies in there! Something colorful. That wouldn’t cost the City anything,” Peloza
said.Too dangerous for you
to do that, Bill, said Mayor Pete Lewis.
As for flowers there, that’s a no-go, as they would be guaranteed a quick, awful death from
choking fumes and other hazards at the busy traffic corridor.
Beauty bark? Forget it. The wind would blow it off, said Councilwom-an Largo Wales.
Asphalt? Too spendy for a tem-
porary fix.What about gravel,
Peloza asked? Won’t work, drivers who sometimes forget that the median there is really a median would make quick work of the rocks.
“Look, Sue, you just have to be a little more patient,”
Councilwoman Largo Wales gently kidded Peloza, summoning the spector of former Auburn Council-woman Sue Singer, who championed sprucing up Auburn’s medians through-out her 16 years in office.
“We’ll call a special meeting, and we’ll get on it,” Wales added. “Let’s get a temporary fix.”
“You should,” Peloza said. “We cannot wait until fall.”
Councilman Wayne Osborne, who has noted the poor condition of many of Auburn’s medians as a real downer for business enticement, suggested red brick. No need for watering under the railroad trestle, he said.
Members of the Mu-nicipal Services committee agreed to meet with the Public Works Committee and Miller to decide on an action plan.

Officials expand AePPhase 2 of the Auburn Environmental
Park recently grew by more than 30 acres.A recent transfer and exchange between
the City of Auburn and the Washington State Department of Transportation of 48.24 acres west of State Route 167 and south of 15th Street Northwest caps two years of negotiations, and brings the total Phase 2 property to about 198 acres.
“Long time coming,” Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy told a recent meeting of the Planning and Community Development Committee.
According to City documentation, the WSDOT will keep some of the land for
future improvements to State Route 167. As part of its acquisition, the WSDOT agreed to bear the cost to move a City sewer line now on Auburn’s property, at a present estimated price of about $2 million.
The fair market value of the 34.04 acres of state-owned land the City acquired is $680,000, and the fair market value of the City-owned property the state acquired is $789,700. Based on the higher land value of the City-owned property, the State agreed to pay Auburn $109,700 to make up the difference.

Accused murderer of teen faces competency hearing
A competency hear-ing has been scheduled for July 30 for accused murderer Brandon Suhr of Algona.
Suhr pleaded not guilty in a King County Court-room on June 20 to stab-bing 13-year-old Pacific resident Walter Denesha to death.
Suhr, 19, is alleged to have broken into a Pacific apartment on May 31 and
killed the Mt. Baker Middle School seventh-grader with a sword.
Suhr reportedly hid Denesha’s body in a closet before forcing the boy’s 16-year-old sister to write a note claiming respon-sibility for the death and threatening to kill the rest of her family if she didn’t accompany him.
Investigators say Suhr was upset by the breakup of his and the girl’s rela-tionship.
Suhr is being held on $2 million bail.

July 22Aid call: 6:52 p.m., (Pacific). Fire-fighters hustled to Pacific Park to examine and treat a kid who had landed on his head after falling from an above-ground piece of playground equipment. A private ambulance carried the kid off to ARMC in stable condition.
Auburn police responded to the fol-lowing calls for service, among many others, between, July 14 and 23:
July 14Trespassing: 1320 Auburn Way S. Grace Community Church let a woman whom it held responsible for some undisclosed infraction know that she wouldn’t be welcome back at the church for five years.
Theft: 2:40 p.m., 5000 block of Auburn Way S. Somebody broke into a car and stole a medical bag with equipment and a biohazard bag.
booze offense: 7 p.m., 2400 block of Stuck River Drive SE. Two young persons got their mitts on alcohol before achieving the age at which such would have been allowed, so police criminally cited the duo.
Auto theft: 11:45 p.m., 7100 block of Lindsey Avenue Southeast. A business person told police that she suspected a client with a history of car
thefts of stealing her car while it was parked in front of her residence.
robbery by firearm: 11:35 a.m., 4100 block of D Street Southeast. Masked gunmen robbed a male of his back pack before they slipped away in their light metallic blue late-’90s Ford Taurus. Nobody was hurt. The bad guys are still out there.
July 15Vandalism: 9:29 a.m., 601 Oravetz Road SE. Somebody perhaps with a grudge against port-a-potties re-moved the roof of one and burned the John to the ground at Roegner Park.
July 16Disorderly conduct: 5:59 p.m., 802 45th St. NE. A fellow challenged rival gang members to a fight, got beat up, and called police.
Assault: 9:11 p.m., 12722 SE. 312th St. A woman allowed a boy to enter her apartment, but when she decided maybe the kid had better go he as-saulted and tried to strangle her.
July 17Arson: 3:50 p.m., 31800 108th Ave. SE. Somebody set a wooden park
bench ablaze.
July 19marijuana: 8:26 a.m., 435 D St. NE. What started out as a stop for a seatbelt violation turned into a bust for possessing marijuana.
burglary: Overnight, 815 Auburn Way S. Somebody stole a cash register with several hundred dollars inside from the King of Pho’ restaurant.
Assault with hands and fists: 7:12 p.m., 29000 block of Green River Road. One, or several persons, beat up a transient.
July 21Theft: 3 p.m., 2117 Auburn Way S. To get at a backpack inside, a thief shattered the back window of a white Honda Civic parked at the Muckleshoot Bingo Hall. A witness spotted the bad guy driving away in a black Honda Civic. The Casino handed surveillance pictures of the thief to police.
Assault with hands and fists: 1:45 a.m., 2802 Auburn Way N. Some-body assaulted a man at the Sports Page Bar, knocking him out.
July 22burglary: Overnight, 106 11th St. SE. Burglars broke a double-pane window to get into Tiki Tails Dog Salon, stuck their paws into some drawers but stole nothing, and left behind $300 worth of damage from vandalism.
Controlled substance: 12:28 p.m., 200 Auburn Way S. Police arrested a male and female – kids, teens, or adults, police offered no clues – he for obstructing a police officer, she for having heroin.
Shoplifting: 7:33 p.m., 762 Super-mall Drive SW. Police arrested two youngsters for shoplifting $88.18 worth of undisclosed merchandise from Walmart. The store got its stuff back.
July 23obstructing justice: 12:36 a.m., 2100 block of R Street Southeast. A man stopped for a traffic violation learned one of life’s major lessons: that running from a police officer is perhaps not the brightest of ideas, as the officer caught up and arrested him, compounding his legal woes.

Last July, shots rang out and chaos ensued. It was a shocking wakeup call.
Gunshots were fired by several different people at a car show in Kent, just off of Pacific Highway, resulting in several serious injuries.
Almost a year has passed since that tragic day. Now, we would like to bring you up to date on the case, discuss the underlying root cause of
gang violence, and what we’re doing to help address it.
Case updateThrough collaboration from vari-
ous law enforcement agencies and led by the Kent Police Department, five individuals have been arrested in connection with firing a weapon at the incident. Each has some gang involvement, and all come from the South King County area.
They are all in custody on various charges. Three other persons also
were charged, one for a drive-by shooting that occurred later that same day, and two for rendering as-sistance in the crime. The two who assisted others in the crime already have been convicted. All other cases are pending.
Root causesArguably, there are many factors
that lead young men and women to join criminal gangs. Evidence indicates that there is one thing that connects most, if not all the contrib-uting factors – limited opportunities.

The Firing SquadVoters sent Cy Sun to City
Hall.Uproot defrauders was their
call.Corruptor, glue your nose to
your desk.Someone’s breathing down
your neck.Whistle blowers beware.No one knows who is next.Everybody running scared,No place to hide.Kicked out, locked out, ran
out.Victims of the firing squad.But, he’ll fall victim to his
own mess.If he doesn’t learn a little
finesse.– Gerald A. McBreen, Pacific Poet Laureate
Let Sun do his jobIt’s very disturbing how the
members of the Pacific City Council have been mistreating
Mayor Cy Sun.Since upon assuming office,
the City Council have been hostile to him.
Where is the so-called “hon-eymoon period” that’s usually accorded newly elected public officials upon assuming office?
I have a strong suspicion that
the members of this council are the “good old boys” of the for-mer mayor and of the City of Pacific, and the presence of an outsider is anathema to them. Or perhaps it could be that the mayor’s name is Cy Sun and his ethnicity is Asian? Well, I hope not. But it seems, from my point of view, that those could be the reasons.
Also, if the former adminis-tration officials of this city were really a fantastic team, as they claimed to be, how come they were voted out by the people of Pacific, and Cy Sun won the position? In fact, he even won it as a write-in candidate.
From what I heard there were rampant corruptions, inefficiencies, and that a “good old boy” system prevailed in the former administration. And those were the reasons the people of Pacific needed to change their mayor.
Yet, they questioned Mayor

Mighty lady strikes a strong pose
Auburn’s Nicole Kupfer is a source of strength – in more ways than one.
She helps kids every day as a therapeutic childcare worker for Childhaven in Auburn. In the weight room and on the stage, the blossoming bodybuilder demands and gets the most from her diminutive self.
“(You have) to have the will power and determination. … When I make up my mind to do it, I do it,” said Kupfer, 22, an Auburn High School and University of Washing-ton Tacoma graduate, who competes as an amateur. “There is nothing that can make me stray from my diet or my training.”
For Kupfer, the best is yet to come.As a relative newcom-
er to the sport, Kupfer has shown lots of prom-ise. She took sixth in her class – those stand-ing 5 foot 4 or shorter – at the Washington State Open in Auburn last year. From there,
the 106-pound Kupfer topped her division (5-2 and under) in Vancouver, Wash., in March, then capped off the season in May by placing third out of 16 contestants (5-2 and under) in the Emerald Cup at Belling-ham.
Now she’s determined to improve her physique – from muscle clarity to defini-tion – and place higher for next season. She plans to gear up for next spring’s Emerald Cup, then try her first national, perhaps the Junior USA competition in North Carolina.
If all goes well, she might decide to secure her card and debut professionally.
Preparing for meets is a long, challenging process.
“For my shows, we do a 12- or 16-week prep following a strict diet and training regi-ment,” said Kupfer. Her own weight fluctu-ates from 115 pounds in the offseason to a well-tapered 106 pounds when she hits the stage for poses and quarter-turns.

Studies have shown that young people would not choose to engage in criminal behavior if more opportuni-ties were available to them. Young people who sense that they have a future and understand the door that they must pass through to get there do not join gangs. Scarce opportunities dimin-ish hope, leaving many young people to gain finan-cially through illicit means.
There is no panacea for this growing South King County issue. We must all lend ourselves to this effort: law enforcement,
local government, schools, community and human services organizations, and the broader community.
Initiatives that extend opportunities and mentor-ship are effective and have a substantial return of invest-ment. For example, pro-grams that intervene early in a child’s life and prepare him for school result in gang violence prevention.
Reports have shown that for every dollar we invest in early childhood pro-grams, we end up saving $7 in future criminal justice funding.
Tutoring programs that
help identify challenges in the classroom and provide an appropriate path for a high school diploma will keep kids from joining gangs.
Partnerships with com-munity colleges and local businesses that expose young people to careers and enable them to be finan-cially independent provide a sustainable alternative to selling drugs.
These are just some examples of the type of op-portunities we must expand for our young people if we are realistically going to ad-dress gang violence.
County responseIn the wake of the Kent
shootings, area police chiefs, the King County Sheriff ’s Office and federal agencies immediately began meeting and working in-tensely together. The result has been the creation of a South King County Gang Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to reduce violence by pursuing and arresting the gang members.
But enforcement is just one approach to reducing gang violence. It is a wide-spread belief within the law enforcement community and in local government
that we can’t “arrest our way out of this.” It takes a real commitment to prevention, intervention, and suppres-sion efforts working along with appropriate and clear enforcement.
Also in response to the shootings, the King County Council funded targeted strategies aimed at gang prevention and interven-tion. One of the projects re-ceiving funding is the South County Gang Project that works with gang involved youth helping them earn their high school diploma or GED and find jobs. This is a great example of a pro-
gram that expands options for young people, works with families to create bet-ter support, and partners with our schools to provide guidance and assistance.
Feeling safe in our com-munities is paramount. As King County begins its budget process this fall, we will continue to prioritize strategies to rid our com-munities of gang violence.

Sun’s credentials and war medals he had won in the Korean War upon assuming his office. And rudely and offensively, too.
The people of Pacific City have spoken: they elected Cy Sun as mayor. Let him do his job. The City Council should give its all-out support and cooperation to the mayor. That’s the way it should be and that’s the way it had been in every city all over America. – Jesse Jose
Mayor, council sell out Auburn citizens
Once again, we witness how well our elected officials listen to their constituents. On July 16, the City Council voted to do away with the Auburn Municipal Court in favor of another soon-to-be-discovered fiasco deal with King County, a decision that we the people may well find to be much
worse than we imagined.City officials seem to be push-
ing anything that requires work out to others to handle, with a shout that it will save us money. Soon they will have nothing to do in the city, and we will be paying for them to go to meetings on King County committees instead of tending to City business.
At the meeting, council mem-bers cried out about how difficult a choice it was and the many ago-nizing hours they listened to peo-ple about the court issue to come to their conclusion. They did everything they were supposed to do, except they did not listen to the people. If you have more than 200 people (as was reported) taking time out of their lives to come to a City Council meeting and let you know what they want you to do, it might just be your job to hear them and fulfill their wishes, instead of your own.
A few things I have learned in my short 50-plus years:
• When you are hired (being
voted into office is being hired) by a person or group of people to do a job, you do what they want you to do, not what you want to do.
• When I go grocery shopping, I buy Hunt’s Tomato Sauce rather than the house brand because it tastes better.
• When I by shoes, I buy a good pair instead of the cheap shoes they sell in box stores because they are better for my feet.
My point is that the cheapest prices are not necessarily the best product. Spending a little more for a better product is the better value. It was a choice that we the people tried to tell you we were willing to pay more for. But once again, you did not listen and you aren’t listening still.– Frank Lonergan
City turns its back on court, Judge Burns
It would be an understatement to say that I was dumbfounded
upon reading the headline, “City opts to outsource court services to County” (Auburn Reporter, July 20). Then after reading the subse-quent article, I was even more so.
For those of us who do not live on one of the hills or in a commu-nity with a gate, Judge Burns had always had our backs. Now, that safety net has been taken away from us with this short-sighted, foregone conclusion of a vote by the City Council.
Pat Burns has been a tireless public servant. He not only under-stands the community as a whole but has always had the best interest of its citizens as his number one priority – all without the political grandstanding like we see now.
Thank you to Councilman John Partridge for insightful consid-eration and the courage of your convictions in not succumbing to the current bullying mentality.
Referencing the ludicrous (if not corny) City motto, Imagine This: Mayor Pat Burns!– Elaine J. Powell
Vote no on Prop 1I urge everyone to vote no on
Proposition No. 1 concerning the Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA). Do not give the VRFA another blank check for the next six years.
When created, the VRFA pub-lished it would raise our taxes by $60 per household. They did raise our taxes and used the money to build two brand new stations (and abandon one) and, execute a complete remodel of a third.
On top of that, the VRFA spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a ladder truck that requires someone to fly in from Ger-many to complete warranty work. Surely, we do not need a repeat of those capital expenditures.
The authority was created because Auburn had raised the firefighters’ salaries so high that it was costing the city $1,000,000 more than it was collecting from the fire related taxes. It allowed[ more LETTERS page 9 ]
the city to get out from under this obligation but we, the taxpayers, put up the extra bucks.
Businesses were hit worse. Did you know the cement sprinkled park-ing garage that replaced the Cavanaugh property on Main Street was billed thousands of dollars for fire protection?
On top of that, another layer of management was created.
Now the VRFA needs this proposition so it can continue to exceed the very fair taxing limits imposed by state law. We learn about this proposition as we re-ceive our ballots in the mail so there is insufficient time to research how our monies are being spent.
Without a public process of review to determine what the public feels is neces-
sary for the future. This is wrong. Please control the VRFA taxing power by voting no on your Aug. 7 ballot.– Dan Shields
Disgusted with Comcast
I’m disgusted with the high cost of cable TV.
I recently purchased a new HD TV, but that’s not where it ends. I was told that it needed to be hooked up to HD, which meant going to Comcast to get the equipment and installing it myself. No easy feat.
I had a friend help me install the equipment, but was then on the phone for approximately 20 minutes just to get a picture on the TV. And to add insult to injury, I have to pay an ex-tra $10 per month, and the picture looks the same as it
did before the HD hookup. I have to return the old box as well.
Now I can’t use my DVD player because it isn’t com-patible.
What kind of deal is this anyway? We are paying more and more and getting less and less for our money. “Customer Service” is a thing of the past. The folks at Comcast just assume that all customers can do this. Wrong.
I am a senior citizen on a fixed income, and TV is my only entertainment. I’m not senile yet, but this new technology is ridiculous and it keeps getting worse.
Am I alone in this? I think not. When is this in-sanity going to stop? I think everyone out there who is disgusted with Comcast should unite and protest this insanity.– Jeanne Harold
[ LETTERS from page 8 ]
Kupfer trains diligently under the guidance of her dad, Darren Kupfer. The senior Kupfer, a champion body-builder himself, works as a personal trainer. Father and daughter train daily in the early morning hours. She also makes time for cardio work.
She follows a healthy lifestyle and competes drug free, natu-rally.
“You have to be very disci-plined,” said the younger Kufper, who works with an online trainer to monitor her diet and exercise. “You have to want to do this.”
Kupfer knows she must gradually im-prove her body to get that “martini glass” symmetrical shape.
On stage, she has held up well under the bright lights of the stage and the scru-tiny of the judges.
“I never really get too nervous when I’m on stage in front of the judges,” she said. “By the time you get to the stage, there really is no point in being nervous because you’ve done all the work you possibly can. I just like to go out there
and have fun. Being nervous can just totally change how your body looks.”
Darren Kupfer is proud of what his prodigy has achieved in such a short time.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better daughter,” he said. “She’s the perfect child … into total fitness … being persistent and consistent.”
With great genetics and coach-ing, Kupfer has great potential.
“Anything is possible,” dad said. “If she improves, it will happen.”
The Algona City Council recently recognized the South Valley Police Explorer Post (SVPE) and its leaders for exceptional duty.
Algona Officer Robert Stephens was awarded the Police Explorer
Advisor of the Year for 2011 by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and the Wash-ington Law Enforcement Explorer Advisors.
The WASPC and WLEEA awarded SVPE Capt. Keith Nichols as Explorer of the Year for 2011. Explorer Sgt. Tre’ Rosdahl received a $1,000 scholar-ship to a college of his choice.
The SVPE represent the communi-
ties of Algona, Pacific and Sumner. The program, open to career-orient-ed adults 14 to 21 in good standing, has been a part of the Algona Police Department for three years.
The Explorers accept donations and applications. If you are interested in either, contact the Algona Police Department at 253-833-2743 or the Sumner Police Department at 253-299-5680.

ALGONA DAYS
Algona Days returned to Matchett Park for a community celebration filled with food, games and entertainment last weekend. Clockwise from above, Iris Sisco, a City of Algona employee, drives the train through the park, Olivia Reiter, a South Valley Police Explorer, pushes Ayeli Avelar in a hamster ball, Jim Rose cleans his 1935 Chevy at the car show, Roberto the Magnificent juggles fire on a unicycle, and Valeria, 5, and Gihianni Argotte, 6, ride the slide.
Whether it’s the physi-cal demands of climbing mountain peaks or running 26-mile marathons, the mental demands of helping special needs students as a para-educator at Auburn High School, or the chal-lenge of coaching young Trojan athletes to give their all, Blakely is ready.
“Trying to get the best out of kids is a challenge,” he said. “If you can try and get them to pick up some of the learning, just one thing maybe, that’s good.”
Raised in Tacoma, Blakely, 66, graduated from Stadium High School in 1964. Although physically active growing up, Blakely said he wasn’t into orga-nized sports.
After high school he enrolled at the University of Puget Sound, where he majored in history, with a minor in political science. Just after his graduation from UPS in 1969, Blakely embarked on his first major physical challenge – as-cending all 14,409 feet of Mount Rainier.
“I remember it well
because it was the same day we landed on the moon,” Blakely said. “After we came down, we listened to Neil Armstrong’s ‘one giant leap’ speech in the truck on the way home.”
The ascent was the begin-ning of a love affair that has taken him to Mount Rainier’s peak more than 10
times and pushed him up many other mountains in North America.
After graduating from UPS, Blakely said, he worked at Boeing, helping to build the 737 for awhile before finding his true call-ing as a case manager for the Washington Depart-ment of Social and Health
Services.Eager to share his love
of climbing, Blakely said, he turned many of the kids whose cases he was managing on to climbing. In exchange, one of them turned Blakely on to mara-thon running.
“I started running with Randy Yoakum,” Blakely
said. “And I ran my first marathon in 1976 in Sea-side, Ore.”
It wouldn’t be his last. Al-though he said he’s lost the exact count, he estimates that he’s completed more than 100 marathons.
Not one to half step into anything, Blakely soon found a way to share his love of long distance run-ning, helping Auburn track and cross country coach Joe Wilcox with the team. When Wilcox decided to hang up his whistle in 1979, Blakely became the Trojan head cross country and track and field coach, positions he filled until the mid-90s.
Although team success eluded him for most of his coaching career, the 1985 cross country team did earn a berth at the state meet.
“I remember we had to run three times at Ever-green High School, for league and district meets,” Blakely said. “And I had two runners who were top five at districts, Bert Foderer and Chad Beard. We didn’t do that well as a team at state, because we weren’t that deep, though. You have to have five strong runners.”

U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto, 3,650 to 3,185, in the high points race.
In this season’s first two races – the Indiana Gover-nor’s Cup in Madison and the Gold Cup in Detroit – Villwock notched wins, bring-ing his all-time victory count to 67, the best in the sport.
Now it’s time for Villwock to prepare for the Lamb-Weston Columbia Cup this weekend in the Tri-Cities, and the Seafair Albert Lee Cup Aug. 3-5 on Lake Washing-ton.
“Seafair has the most atten-tion, media wise,” he said. “It’s rough and demanding. And I’ve won it an awful lot. But my favorites are places like San Diego and the Tri-Cities. The water is calmer, and I don’t get beat up as much. Sometimes I feel a lot like a linebacker — you know you’re going to get hit, you just don’t know when.”
After Seafair, the H1 series wraps up stateside with an exhibition race on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho and the Bayfair in San Diego, both new stops on the circuit this year.
“It’s growing again,” Villwock said. “The competi-tion is strong, it’s always been strong, but having the Air Na-tional Guard sponsoring and
the television doesn’t hurt.”This season the Versus
Network is televising every stop on the circuit.
The success marks a resurgence for the sport of hydroplane racing, which was struggling only a couple years ago.
Villwock credits interna-tional interest in the sport for much of that.
“We’ve got China interested now,” he said. “They want to do a race there next year.”
The H1 boats already have a presence overseas with the Oryx Cup World Champion-ships, which wraps up the season on Nov. 8-10 in Doha, Qatar.
For more information on the H1 Unlimited Hydro-plane series, visit their Web site at www.h1unlimited.com
For Blakely, however, it wasn’t about the official results; it was about inter-acting with the kids.
After his retirement from coaching in 1995, Blakely began substitute teaching for the Auburn School District the fol-lowing year. Five years later, in 2001, he became a para educator at Auburn High School, working
one-on-one with special needs students.
“You just start to sort of believe in the kids,” he said. “The challenge is trying to get the best out of the kids. Their limita-tions can’t frustrate you, you just have to walk away thinking that maybe you’ve accomplished something, that they’ve picked up some of the learning.”
Blakely also keeps busy
running the clock and scoreboard at Trojan girls basketball games and helps out with track and field meets at Auburn Stadium.
“I’ll probably retire in the next couple of years, but right now I’m healthy, so I don’t mind coming to work every day,” he said.
Although his mountain climbing days are behind him, he still tries to lace up the sneakers and get
out for the occasional run, but nothing like the 6-7 miles he used to put in daily.
“I’ve gotten slower over the years, but so far I still can go out and run and not fall totally apart,” he said.
And he still challenges himself.
“I just did a 5K in Kent,” he said. “I will probably try to do some more in the fall.”

Attorney: The old phrase, “Fences make good neighbors” comes to mind, but you mentioned you have a fence, so you might want to consid-er a “legal fence” or wall. The first wall, which is the hardest, is to ignore them and hope it stops. This usually does not work and I recommend that you involve a lawyer; he can politely write a letter to the neighbors, warning them about their misconduct, asking them to cease and desist, and explaining how the conduct could result in court action, such as an anti-harassment order or a criminal citation for trespass or littering. Another “fence” is to go to court and ask for an anti-harassment order; this is a civil remedy. You have to be able to show, in short, that the neighbors have directed conduct at you which seriously alarms, annoys, harasses, or is detrimental to you, and which serves no legitimate or law-ful purpose. There is also possible criminal remedies as there is malicious harassment criminal laws, trespass and nuisance laws. If ignoring the neighbors does not work, and moving is not an option, go see a lawyer to help you.
Client: My question might not be family law, but it relates to my family. My neighbor is harassing me, including throwing debris/gar-bage in my yard, his trees hang over into my yard, and I caught his wife throwing animal poop over my fence into my yard. What do I do, legally?
The Fence is Not Tall Enough

Students must look their best when they meet folks at the annual Career Conference who might hire them.
That’s a no brainer. But the sad truth is that many Auburn families don’t have the money to provide their kids what they need to make the all-important first impression.
For years, Communities in Schools (CIS) of Auburn has helped kids in this dilemma, sup-plying them with suits and jackets and ties and dresses and shoes do-nated by the Auburn community. By leveraging its clothing donations with cash, CIS can supply three adult-sized students with profes-sional business attire for only $52.
But the arson fire that swept a self-storage unit on Auburn Way North on July 11 reduced the tennis shoes, jackets, books, toys, diapers, sweaters and ties to piles of ashes.
“We got out one week after the fire to see the actual damage for the first time,” said CIS Executive Director Arlene Pierini. “We are very near the epicenter.”
Last week the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce sent out a four alarm email on behalf of CIS.
And in a very big way, the Au-burn community responded.
“Since the information went out, there’s been an outpouring from the community, pledges in cash and pledges in donations and we are extremely grateful for that. While the loss of items for students in need from the storage unit has caused us difficulty, support from our caring community will help us recover.”
Pierini knows that others who
lost have not been as lucky. “Our thoughts are with those
fire victims who lost irreplaceable items,” Pierini said.
Communities in school began in 1985 as the all-volunteer Auburn School Lunch Program. Its first mission was to ensure that kids at the middle school level, which did not then qualify to participate in the federal lunch program, would not go hungry.

Growing up in England, Matt Jones was a huge fan of American hard rock icons KISS and Mötley Crüe.
“I grew up with posters of both bands on my wall,” he said. “I had one of KISS and one of Mötley Crüe. I used to listen to them all the time.”
So when Jones, the lead singer for The Treatment, found out his band had been picked to open for KISS and Mötley Crüe on their 43-date summer tour – which swings into the White River Am-phitheatre on Aug. 18 – he and his bandmates were thrilled.
“We were actually travel-ling back from another show in Europe, so we were all in the van together when we got the call,” he said. “We just started cheer-ing and high-fiving each other. It was such a crazy moment. It was unreal.”
Formed in 2009 in Cambridge, England, The Treatment – which released its debut album “This
Might Hurt” this month – is a perfect fit for a tour featuring two bands that got their start in the 1970s (KISS) and the early 1980s (Mötley Crüe).
Although most of the lads in The Treatment aren’t even old enough to buy booze in the U.S., the band’s sound hearkens back to the hard-rock sounds of the 70s and 80s.
“We’ve all grown up listen-ing to AC/DC, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, all of those classic bands,” Jones said. “I think it’s natural for us to play music that sounds like it’s from the 70s and 80s because our parents raised us listening to that kind of music. It’s natural for us.”
For Jones it’s all about the energy of the classic hard rock sound.
“Rock from those days had a kind of pureness and energy about it,” he said. “You can listen and picture the stories in your head. And when you watch it live, there is a raw energy about it. And that’s
what we try to do with our shows, we try to put as much fun and as much excitement into it as possible.”
Jones said they’ve tried to pack just as much fun and excitment into their debut album.
“We worked on it for a year,” he said.
Jones said band members fine tuned the songs on the album in their home studio before heading into Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris’ studio to finish the album.
“He’d actually come in when we were there and listen and give his seal of approval,” he said. “That’s huge for us, being such big Maiden fans.”
The Treatment are hoping to get a seal of approval from U.S. fans on the tour as well.
“It’s huge, it’s massive exposure for us,” he said. “Every show is for 10,000 people or more. For us to come out to a place we’ve never been and play for that many people is fantastic for us.”

Jack retired in 1984 after 25 years of working at the City of Auburn, first as a building inspector and later as the Director of Public Works. He was an avid gardener and a prolific painter. His dozens of landscape, still life, and marine paintings were a source of great pride for him and they will be forever cherished by the family he leaves behind.
Jack died on July 20, 2012. He is preceded in death by brothers Bill and Harry S. Lange, and grandson Steven St. Germain. Wife Roseclara preceded him in death just six short weeks ago, after almost 66 years of marriage.
Jack is survived by his children Roberta (Dennis) Craughan, Harry L. (Jean) Lange, and Richard Lange; grandchildren Marie-Claire St. Germain (Jeremy) Wehmeyer, Jason (Britt) Ferrell, Jeremy Ferrell, Tanya Lange, Brian (Christine) Lange, Margaret Craughan; and great-grandson Steven Wehmeyer.
Rosary will be held at Price-Helton Funeral Home on Thursday, July 26 at 7pm. Funeral Mass will be Friday, July 27 at 11am at Holy Family, Auburn. Interment at Gethsemane Cemetery in Federal Way.
