Long, wide journey with music

Jake Nannery didn’t choose to make music his life, music chose him.

From an early age, the Auburn musician – who celebrates the release of his 7-song EP “S.W.” May 17 at the LUCID Lounge in Se-attle – was drawn toward all things musical.

“There was never a point where I just made a decision to do music,” he said. “It was just an obvious thing for me. Growing up, honestly, in Auburn there was always just a strong music community.”

Nannery, 35, said his first memories of music came via local music instruc-

tor Fred Strom and the Auburn School District.

“(He) had a personal library of musi-cal instruments he would loan out to students,” Nannery said. “He went from elementary to elementary.

“They used to bring the fourth-graders in to the high school music classes, and the kids would give a speech about their instrument and what it’s like to be in an orchestra,” he said.

It was the trombonist’s demonstration that hooked Nannery.

Therese Verzosa won’t soon forget the devastation, the sorrow.

The Auburn woman was part of a relief mission to

the typhoon-torn Philip-pines earlier this year.

“You would see ve-hicles, cars stuck on roofs. So much destruction … people living in tents,” she said of her January visit to the Philippines, reeling in

the aftermath of a deadly storm. “They didn’t have electricity, plumbing and basic necessities. … It was painful to see.”

Typhoon Haiyan’s fury packed a 147-mph punch when it struck the Philip-

pines in early November. One of the strongest storms ever recorded at landfall killed more than 6,000 people. Millions more were displaced when their homes were destroyed or washed away. And authorities today still struggle with the sim-plest tasks, such as clear-ing away debris, repairing houses and rebuilding infrastructure.

The city of Tacloban bore the brunt of the typhoon.

Verzosa saw it firsthand, the damage, as global aid poured in to help local officials put a shattered country back together.

“Even in the face of death, they are so resilient,” she said of Filipinos.

Recovery is slow. But Verzosa remains persistent in her pursuit of helping the country.

She and her husband, Jude, established a non-profit charitable organization – Empower Philippines – out of their Lakeland Hills home three years ago. It originated from the American-Filipino couple’s desire to help underprivileged children or those with special needs. The youngest of their two boys, Zach, is autistic.

The organization’s wide-spread network has since grown, gaining the support of many others. Its primary goal is to help improve the lives of Filipinos strug-gling with disability, special

needs and poverty, espe-cially in the aftermath of tragedy.

An immediate relief effort in late November distributed home improve-ment tools for men, cook-ing utensils for women and toys for children.

In January, Empower Philippines rendered services in the city of Palo, such as play therapy, educa-tional activities for children, counseling, spiritual ac-tivities, distributed hygiene kits, beauty makeovers, grooming and hair-cutting services. The team also ad-opted an elementary school in Palo as one of its future beneficiaries.

“There is no child, no person out there who has not been affected, who has lost a loved one or a family member,” said Jude Verzosa, who works on fundraising for the organization. “For us, it is a way to give back.”

Therese Verzosa and volunteers plan to make a return trip to the Philip-pines.

“Definitely. The team, a lot of them, have been touched, not because of the enormity of the loss but be-cause of how we saw people anchor life with hope,” she said. “If there is someone who can help them, that would be people like us.”

Latest red-light photo-enforcement numbers still show a reductionBY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

With one notable excep-tion, red-light, photo-enforced intersections and school zones continue to drop, though at a slower pace than in previous years, according to the Auburn Police Department’s latest report card on the program, “Photosafe Auburn, First Quarter Review, Jan.-March 2014.”

Assistant Police Chief Bill Pierson presented the Municipal Services Committee the latest numbers on the program Monday afternoon at City Hall.

The City spends about $180,000 every year to Scottsdale-Ariz.-based RedFlex Traffic Systems to keep it going. Today it is spending more money than it’s taking in.

The City launched the program on June 30, 2006 at two intersec-tions: Auburn Way South and 4th Street Southeast; and at Auburn Way South and M Street Southeast. It added Harvey Road and 8th Street in December of that year.

Today the program numbers 17 cameras throughout the city, including safety cameras for Mt. Baker Middle School and in the school safety zones of Chinook, Dick Scobee, Lea Hill, Lake-

land Hills and Arthur Jacobsen elementaries.

The data compare the first quarters of the years 2010 to 2014, showing the percentage of red-light violations, that is, the total number written by officers, as op-posed to actual infractions issued:

• Auburn Way South and 4th: southbound, -23.1 percent; north-bound, -23.5 percent;

• M Street and Auburn Way South: westbound, -13 percent, northbound, -12 percent;

• Eighth and Harvey, +105.3 percent;

• Total: -14.8 percent.Police Assistant Pierson at-

tributed the increase at Eighth and Harvey to the completion of intersection improvements at the intersection, including the instal-lation of two left turn lanes onto Eighth Street, which have added traffic, and completion to the south of the M Street underpass.

Officers who review the video clips RedFlex provides may decide not to issue infractions based on a number of reasons, including unreadable or obstructed plates, emergency vehicles, inclement weather and an officer’s own discretion.

The first-quarter data for school zone speed enforcement is as follows:

• Dick Scobee, -50.9 percent;• Chinook, -38.2 percent;• Mt. Baker, -38.7 percent;• Lea Hill Elementary -41

percent;• Arthur Jacobsen Elementary

-91.2 percent;• Lakeland Hills, -99.2 percent.

THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY’S Floodplain Management and Control Competitive Grant Program has awarded the City of Auburn $532,000 for construction of the Mill Creek Wetland 5K Reach Stream Restoration project.Auburn was chosen along with 12 other jurisdictions to receive funding for projects that reduce flood risk and assist in managing floodplains.

The Mill Creek project in Auburn is a partnership between the City and the Seattle District of the Army Corps of Engineers to restore the portion of Mill Creek located largely within the Au-burn Environmental Park. The Mill Creek drainage is a flood-prone area with significant developments like the Emerald Downs thoroughbred racetrack, and infrastructure such as State Route 167, 15th Street North-west at risk.

REPORTER STAFF

King County prosecutors on April 24 filed a first-degree rob-bery charge against a man they claim robbed 16 banks in King, Pierce and Spokane counties between February and April of this year.

Among them, a Chase Bank in Auburn and banks in Kent, Cov-ington, Renton, Lakewood, Des Moines, Puyallup and Tacoma.

What’s more, prosecutors claim, during this span 31-year-old

Robert Adams tutored teens on the do’s and don’ts of his dubious vocation. But the teacher, authori-ties say, left his own fingerprints at the crime scene and didn’t bother to hide his face.

By analyzing prints on the notes and noting the robber’s habit of wearing similar or identical clothes during several of his rob-beries, investigators tied Adams to the crimes.

Adams is in jail on $750,000 bail. All told, authorities have six people in custody.

According to court papers, Adams swiped four Coach Bags worth $2,442 from an Auburn store at The Outlet Collection and brandished a pistol as he robbed a Subway sandwich shop in Kent.

Robberies in April throughout Pierce and King counties allowed police to connect them to three youth and two men.

Although the youth are 14, 15 and 16 years old, prosecutors have charged them with robbery as adults.

Kaution Starlin, 16, told police

that he wanted a piece of the ac-tion after his 15-year-old cousin, Josiah Lane, boasted about mak-ing money from the robberies. Lane got involved through his stepfather, 31-year-old Vincent Thompson, and Thompson’s friend, Adams.

The boys told police that Ad-ams taught them how bank tellers usually respond to robberies. He also said he would drive them to and from the banks.

The teens then brought the money to Adams, who returned a

cut to them, court records say.Cameron Bledsaw, 14, and

Jeffrey Black, 27, have also been arrested and charged in connec-tion with the robberies.

Adams had three warrants for his arrest in separate cases and at least 17 juvenile and felony adult convictions.

Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, said last Friday the department expects to file more charges against Adams.

King County prosecutors origi-nally charged Gonzalez, now 30, with vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment, and for felony fleeing the scene of an accident.

On April 23, after months of court delays and postponements, Gonzalez changed his plea to guilty, although only to vehicular homicide DUI to avoid a stiffer sentence on the other charges.

Gonzalez sentencing is at 2:45 p.m. May 9, at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The standard sentencing range for vehicular homicide DUI is 10-13.1 years in prison.

According to the plea deal, the prosecuting attorney is to recommend as follows: 13.1 years in prison followed by 18 months of community custody.

The state will agree to dismiss the other counts. Among other requirements, Gonzalez would also need to obtain a substance abuse evaluation with fol-lowup treatment, at-tend a DUI victim’s panel and comply with ignition inter-lock requirements.

The recom-mended sentence takes into account that Gonzalez is a convicted felon who spent 10 years in prison for second-degree assault and first-degree kidnap-ping.

Gonzalez, Combs said, should answer to all the charges.

“Oh, I’m angry, I’m really, really angry,” Combs said. “I mean, he

postponed 17 times, he’s been playing games and jerking every-body around. I don’t think he deserves any time off; he had just gotten out of prison. If he only gets 10 years, he’ll be 40 when he gets out.

Plenty of time to go out and kill somebody else.”

According to the Auburn Police statement of probable cause, at 5:51 a.m. on July 5, 2013, an Auburn police officer saw a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe moving very rapidly southbound in the outside lane in the 00 block of Auburn

Way North. The officer watched the SUV “punch the driver’s side door of the taxi” directly behind the officer’s vehicle, which was traveling eastbound on East Main Street on a green signal. The Tahoe rolled onto its roof, and when it came to a stop, the driver ran off westbound, leaving behind his injured girlfriend, Latasha Moses, in his overturned vehicle. She survived.

Officers caught up with Gon-zalez on South Division Street, where a witness identified him as the driver of the SUV. Post Miranda, according to the state-ment, the man, identified by that time as Gonzales, admitted he was the driver.

“Officers smelled an obvious odor of intoxicants emanating from the driver and believed he had been consuming alcohol

while driving,” according to the statement.

Before Gonzalez is sentenced on May 9, Combs wants as many people as possible to send letters, expressing their feelings, to the sentencing judge, William A Bowman, via the King County Prosecutor’s Victim’s Advocate at [email protected].

“They want me to get up and speak at the sentencing,” Combs said through tears, struggling to compose the message she intends to read. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life — trying to get it all out.”

Today she lives with only memories of the gentle man with the big, bushy beard, who should still be living but is not.

“Every day. I get up, kiss his picture, tell him I love him,” Combs said.

Hulsey said he first de-cided to run for the council in 2006, in the wake of flooding in Pacific.

“I could look out my front door and see the water rising in the park,” Hulsey, 66, said.

He took it on himself to start organizing neighbors, and after delivery of a load of sand and bags, began shor-ing up the city’s defenses.

“We got a big jump and managed to make sure noth-ing happened to any of those houses,” he said. “And (for-mer Mayor Rich) Hildreth

asked if I was interested in running for council.”

Hulsey ran and won a council seat.

“It was an opportunity to serve my community and make this city a better place to live though. Local politics is not a spectator sport. If you aren’t willing to roll up your sleeves and get to work, nobody is going to do the job for you.

“I hope I’ve left a legacy there,” he continued. “They do the Pledge of Allegiance at workshops now. That started when I was president

of the council.”Although, Hulsey said,

he’s not normally one to walk away from anything, at his doctor’s urging, he decided to resign a year and eight months shy of his term.

“I have heart disease and other things,” Hulsey said “The doctor says I need to take some time and enjoy the rest of my life.”

The Pacific City Council appoints a new council person to finish Hulsey’s term at the May 12 regularly scheduled meeting.

Early detection, intervention key to healthy mental development in childrenG U E S T O P I N I O N

[ more GUEST OP page 9 ]

We observe National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day on May 8. It is a day to celebrate the positive impact we can have on children’s well-being and healthy development.

According to the Center for Dis-ease Control and Prevention, every

year, about 20 percent of the children in the United States deal with diagnosed mental health conditions. Most common are attention deficit disorder, behav-ioral or conduct disorders, anxiety and depression.

Although these are not as rare as you think – 20 percent of all kids

are struggling – the need to con-tinue public awareness exists. Only about half of children aged 8 to 15 are receiving intervention. This is a problem, but there are answers, and most certainly, there is hope.

The facts about mental health conditions can be grim but are very important for you to know. Truancy and school drop-out, addiction,

health complications, homeless-ness and delinquency are problems children with untreated or under-treated mental health conditions can face. However, by identifying a mental health condition early and pursuing interventions, you can greatly reduce the chances of your

Possible demise of Big Daddy’s would be a big loss

Hello, Mayor Backus. While I was reading a newsletter I was hoping to find informa-tion on what we surprisingly saw in the Auburn Reporter last week: Big Daddy’s Drive In – along with other businesses and/or vacant properties – was in the process of being consid-ered for purchase by the City for possible future plans that may include a new entrance to Les Gove Park.

We usually don’t comment on anything, and just let the City do what it feels is best, but my family was completely shocked that Big Daddy’s may be going away. We were even more shocked that there didn’t seem to be any firm plans in place with details that Big Daddy’s might be going away for something the City “might” do with the land.

We love going to Big Dad-dy’s for a treat occasionally, or for a family meal together out,

and we’re sure there are many other people who would say the same thing.

We were wondering if Big Daddy’s wanted to be bought out? Or if they had no choice? We would rather see them stay, unless, of course, they wanted to take this opportunity to sell their business, instead of seeing a new entrance to Les Gove Park there. We don’t sup-

pose the new plans could work around them staying?

We just wanted to have some input. Since the board already approved this, and steps are being taken to see if all the environmental tests are passed, it looks like this may be a done deal.

Just know many people are going to be unhappy about losing Big Daddy’s Drive In. They’re coming to be a one-of-a-kind, as we don’t see drive-in restaurants around very much anymore, unfortunately.– Marie North and family

Prothero’s passion made it a fun ride for others

Courtney Eronemo stood on the water-splashed deck of the King County Aquatic Center, basking in the glow of her first state girls swim meet.

Having just bagged a bronze medal in the individual medley and snared a silver in the butterfly, Eronemo, then a freshman at Kent-wood High, had plenty of it in which to bask on that 2002 November night.

But as Eronemo was glowing, Conquerors coach Mark Prothero approached her, his face

flush with a decidedly dif-ferent feeling.

“He was crying, and he came up and hugged me and said, ‘This is going to be a fun ride, kid,’” Eronemo recalled. “I could see his emotion, and every part of him was

invested in what he was doing.“I remember that phrase,” Eronemo con-

tinued, her own voice choked with emotion last week, just a few days after Prothero died following a two-year battle with lung cancer. “I think of that phrase in (coaching) club swimming and whatever else I need to do.”

For Eronemo, now finishing up her nursing degree at Pacific Lutheran University, Pro-thero’s prediction was prescient. She would go on to win five state championships, each of them in a different event.

So it was indeed a fun ride.But for hundreds upon hundreds of other

swimmers who never tasted a title, the ride was just as fun.

Mark Prothero made sure of it.He was just as passionate about the aquatic

advice he offered to his athletes as he was about the legal advice he offered to his clients.

Opposing attorneys respected him. Oppos-ing coaches did, too.

The courtroom was his love.So was the pool.“One thing I take from him – and I never

Best of

thought about it at the time – was when he would coach summer league and end a team meeting, he would always say he had two rules: Have fun, and swim fast,” said Chris Veraya, who won the boys state backstroke title under Prothero in 2003. “One leads to the other.”

Veraya did more than swim fast. He’s now an attorney, as was Prothero. While his former coach didn’t specifically push him toward that field, Veraya acknowl-edged that “It’s hard growing up with the man and not thinking in that direction, (at least) in an indirect way.”

In fact, Prothero would become best known as one of the lead defense attorneys for Gary Ridg-way, the Green River Killer. But in the midst of the high-profile, highly scrutinized case, Prothero acknowledged after a meet one af-ternoon that keeping his passions separated wasn’t always easy.

“You know, it’s kind of funny,” Prothero said in his usual articu-late, well-thought-out tone. “I’ll be standing on the deck thinking about the case. But then I can be at my desk in the office trying to figure out how we can beat Kentridge.”

One could almost see Dave

Wright smiling through the phone as he heard that story. Wright was KR’s head coach dur-ing a decade-long stretch when the South Puget Sound League North Division title usually came down to the dual meet between his Chargers and Prothero’s Con-querors.

“I always knew both of our teams were going to be good, and he was going to plan a meet as well as he possibly could,” said Wright, now the head girls coach at Tahoma. “I didn’t win ’em all,

and he didn’t win ’em all. But it was always friendly. It’s just amaz-ing when you think how the two teams stayed even-keel with each other the whole time.”

Wright also got the perspective of watching Prothero from a par-ent’s point of view. Daughter Erica Wright swam for Prothero as a Kentwood freshman.

“It was cool as a dad to watch him coach Erica,” Wright said. “The team was huge. But he knew everybody, he was fair to every-body, and he would acknowledge

everybody. Erica was JV at the time, and she went to the non-qualifiers meet. But she still got attention from him, and that was great.”

The swimming community, the legal community – and the com-munity at large – lost one of its gi-ants all at the very same moment when the 57-year-old Prothero passed away on the morning of April 19.

A giant because Prothero’s pri-ority was always someone other than himself.

He helped lead the successful drive to keep the Kent-Meridian Pool open when it was threatened with closure as King County got out of the swimming pool busi-ness.

He was there to congratulate and pose for a photo with Renton High’s Steve Sholdra at the 2010 state meet when Sholdra broke Prothero’s 36-year-old school record in the 500-yard freestyle.

Whether he was coaching a local club team or during his decade-long tenure at Kentwood, Prothero’s knowledge and guid-ance helped turn good swimmers into excellent swimmers, and excellent swimmers into state title contenders – and sometimes, state champions.

“He wasn’t worried about money, time, and all those other

issues,” Kent School District ath-letic director Dave Lutes said in a Reporter article about Prothero last week. “He was there for the kids.”

He was indeed.And Mark Prothero always

made sure it was a fun ride.Mark Moschetti is a former sports

editor and sportswriter for the Valley Daily News and King County Journal.

[ MOSCHETTI from page 7 ] Honoring Prothero

A celebration of Mark Prothero’s life is Saturday, May 10 at the Kentwood High School Commons, 25800 164th Ave. SE, Cov-ington. The open house is from 1 to 5 p.m.

Prothero – prominent criminal defense attorney, civic leader, community volunteer and coach – died April 19 at his Kent home with family at his side.

Prothero, who waged a two-year battle with lung cancer, was 57.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any dona-tions be sent to either the www.KentParksFoundation.org or www.HuskySwim-mingFoundation.com.

child facing these other life-altering factors.

It may be hard to digest, but one-half of all chronic mental illness starts by the time a child is 14 years old, and 75 percent of all chronic mental illness have an onset prior to age 24. As

parents, this statistic gives us chills – a nightmare that we pray we are spared.

Some parents hope or believe erroneously that their children’s behav-ior problems, quirks, or awkwardness, etc., will work themselves out in time. In some cases this may be true, however, we

know that 25 percent of the adult population in the U.S. experiences mental illness in any given year. Looking back, parents report seeing symptoms in childhood that they now recognize as early-onset symptoms.

The saddest statistic, I think, is that adults with mental illness, on average,

live 25 years less than other Americans largely due to treatable medical condi-tions. By impacting your child now with treatment, you can change this trajec-tory. You can help give her a longer, happier life.

Mental illness is not a choice but rather a chronic condition. It is not a result

of poor parenting. It is not a personal weakness or flaw. It is, however, a condition that requires intervention if a child is going to have a more positive experience in life. Mental wellness is essential for a child’s healthy development but tends to be overlooked or disregarded due to a lack of awareness and social em-barrassment. Luckily, there are many services available in our area to help children get the professional services they need to live a hap-pier, healthier life. You can make a positive and lasting impact on the well-being of your child.

Research has proven that early detection and intervention provide the best outcome for children. Education about the prob-lem, supportive services and therapies are available and contribute to successful management. Family par-ticipation in treatment is a key component for success.

Sometimes medication management is also needed for symptom control.

Without intervention, children with mental condi-tions will continue to have problems in schools, with peers, at home and put themselves at an increased

risk for substance abuse and delinquency and perhaps a shortened life span. With intervention, these children make more lasting friend-ships, do better academi-cally, have a lower dropout rate, can avoid homeless-ness, steer clear of legal involvement and manage their mental health symp-toms better.

If you believe that your child may have a potential mental illness, start by talking to your pediatrician, school counselor or a com-munity therapist.

They can help you start the assessment process.

If immediate crisis ser-vice intervention is needed, contact the King County’s Children’s Crisis Outreach Response System at 206-461-3222 or 1-866-4CRI-SIS.

The sooner you identify and continue to moni-tor your child’s needs, the better the outcome may be. There is help. There is hope. Help your child have the fullest, best life possible.

this issue to a vote in the House.

It is time that Represen-tatives in Congress know that immigration reform needs to happen now. Washington residents over-whelmingly support the passage of comprehensive

immigration reform with a path to citizenship.

Immigration reform will provide a boost in our economy. Reform is needed for U.S. military personnel who are serving our coun-try in foreign conflicts, tech workers who are creating wealth and jobs and farm workers who manage and

harvest the food we eat. All of these workers make a major contribution to U.S. society and our economy.

It’s time for the House Republican leadership to act. We need real reform that balances border secu-rity and a path to citizen-ship here at home.– Debra Hartmann

Dear neighbor,

With the close of the 2014 Legislative Session in Olympia, we want to take this time to update you on the work we did on behalf of the citizens of the 31st Legislative District. The best part of the legislative session was getting our work done and coming back to our district and local communities to hear from you and help folks with constituent problems or concerns.

We are pleased to report that for the first time in recent years the Legislature got its work done on time and there were no special legislative sessions. Although the two of us work very well together as a team, that’s not necessarily true of all of our other colleagues in the House and Senate in Olympia. As your State Representatives, we welcome the reduction in partisan bickering on the political landscape and greater collaboration.

We passed a bipartisan budget, enacted important public safety bills, put more money into education and continued to protect our most vulnerable citizens.

Our job is to bring the views and values of the citizens who elected us to the Legislature and fight to make sure those views are heard. Working together to turn your views and values into workable legislation is our goal.

Sincerely,

Cathy Dahlquist Christopher Hurst

Spring 2014

Supplemental BudgetEvery two years the Legislature passes a supplemental budget to make necessary changes to the two-year biennial operating budget. The bipartisan supple-mental budget we passed this year increased funding for education without raising taxes. This budget left $296.7 million in unrestricted reserves and $583 million into our state’s Rainy Day Fund. This is a fair and responsible budget focused on K-12 education, higher education, early learning, child care, long-term care, mental health and people with developmental disabilities. An additional $59 million was invested in K-12 education, giving schools flexible funding for books, supplies and technology. The developmentally disabled community also gained 5,000 new slots for services to protect our most vulnerable. The final sup-plemental budget also put an additional $5 million in funding to the State Need Grant and placed a freeze on college tuition increases, which is great news for folks who have friends or family members headed off to college this year. We feel that educational opportu-nities are crucial to the success of the next generation and important to our overall economic future.

Supplemental Capital BudgetOne sad note from this session was the failure of the Senate to pass the supplemental capital budget, which passed almost unanimously in the House. This hasn’t happened in 18 years. The biennial capital budget pays for important infrastructure projects like flood control, prisons, water systems, waste water treatment plants and schools. This budget passed out of the House with

a 92-4 vote yet Senators said this year’s supplemental budget was unnecessary. We disagree.

One item in the capital budget that we passed out of the House but which failed in the Senate, was more funding for flood control projects that could have possibly helped prevent flooding and erosion events like the Oso mudslide in Snohomish County from hap-pening here in the 31st Legislative District. Our public health and safety is put at risk when we don’t keep our infrastructure in good condition.

EducationThe State Supreme Court has tasked the Legislature with fully funding K-12 education by 2018. This year, we made additional meaningful steps toward achieving that mandate. As stated earlier, the sup-plemental budget added an additional $59 million on top of the $15.1 billion we allocated in the 2013-15 biennial operating budget.

The House also passed a number of important bills to ensure our children are ready to learn, but unfor-tunately few of them made it through the Senate. Bills like House Bill 2536 would have ensured our kids aren’t learning on empty stomachs. Many of our state’s less fortunate public school students are already eligible for free and reduced meals at school, but this program has left out the most important meal of the day — breakfast. As we work to meet our responsibilities of improving education, it’s import-ant to provide healthy and quality learning envi-ronments for our children. House Bill 2166 would have directed the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to collect data on students from military families; these students often move from school to school but it is our job to ensure that they still receive the best education our state has to offer. We owe it to the children of our veterans and current service members who have defended our freedom with their lives.

We are hopeful we will be able to advance both these, and many more important bills, in coming sessions and meet the goal of fully funding a world class, quality education system by 2018.

Public SafetyOne of our top priorities this year was to pass legislation to combat the theft of hard alcohol by juveniles from retail stores after the passage of the liquor privatization initiative in 2012. House Bill 2155 is legislation we sponsored which has been signed into law and will now hold retailers accountable if they allow liquor to get into the hands of those who are underage. Retailers who do not keep their spirits properly secured and out of the hands of kids will face sanctions up to, and including, the loss of their license to sell alcohol. This is an important public safety measure that will help protect all of us and reduce drunk driving fatalities and injuries related to juvenile alcohol abuse.

TransportationWith all the talk of a transportation tax package this year, we were surprised that little movement was made on important transportation reforms. Prior to the taxpayers considering more revenue, it is important to ensure gas tax dollars are maximized and the Washington State Department of Transportation addresses the many costly mistakes (Bertha shutdown, faulty 520 Bridge pontoons — including cost overruns, and waste in the ferry system). The supplemental transportation budget approved continues to support many construction projects throughout the state and supports over 47,000 jobs in Washington state.

In conclusionGoverning is not an ongo-ing epic battle between good and evil or political parties. Governing is about rational representation, collaboration and getting effective results for every-one. As Americans, we are all in this together and we need to work as a team.

As your two State Repre-sentatives for the 31st Legislative District, that is our vision and how we represent you. Being from different parties should increase the opportunity for constructive discussion and debate rather than be an impedi-ment to success. We respect your views and sincerely hope you like the work we are doing on your behalf.

If you have any issues that you would like to bring to our attention, please feel free to contact us.

Auburn earns WellCity Award

The City of Auburn was recognized by the Associa-tion of Washington Cities (AWC) Employee Benefit Trust as a 2014 WellCity Award recipient.

Auburn joins a total of 96 cities and public enti-ties that met the stringent WellCity standards which demonstrate a commitment

to employee health.All of the cities are part

of AWC’s Employee Benefit Trust, a health insurance pool that provides coverage to 14,000 city employees across the state. When an employer meets the Well-City standards, they earn a 2-percent discount on medical premiums.

“We believe in wellness for our employees because people do their best work when they feel good in their

workplace,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “The added benefit of the 2-percent discount – which translates to an approximate savings of $86,000 is a tribute to our employees and their dedica-tion to their workplace wellness and ultimately the citizens we serve.”

A complete list of the cities that earned the award can be found at www.awcnet.org/re-sourcesresearch/CityAwards/WellCityAwards.aspx

As the track and field season came on, nobody was quite sure what to expect from Auburn Riverside hurdler Josh Turner.

There was no question about the senior’s athleticism. He had already proven that during the Ravens football season, Turner’s first with the varsity. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound Turner was an exceptional performer on the kickoff and punt coverage units, earning first-team All-South Puget Sound League North 4A recognition.

Turner had also proven it on the basketball court, where he helped Auburn Riverside, con-tributing 6.1 points per game from his wing position.

The question was whether Turner could step it up in his technically demanding events – the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and triple jump.

“I know he’s a good athlete, I just didn’t expect him to pick up the hurdles this quickly this year,” said Auburn Riverside coach Bill Sumner. “All of a sud-den, from this year to last year, the first race I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, he is ready to run and compete.’”

Out of the gate, Turner

smashed his previous personal best in the 110 by .32 seconds, posting a 15.30 in his first race of the season. On April 5, at the Arnie Young Invitational in Renton, Turner ran a personal-best 15.09, the 10th fastest 4A time in the state.

At the same meet he ran a 41.86 in the 300.

Even more astounding has

been the triple jump, his first season competing in the event.

“That has just been an extra gift,” Sumner said. “I didn’t even pencil him in as being a big event for him. He’s really just picked that up this year.”

Turner’s personal record is

Wallen – and female recipient Jenna Moser of Colton High School – will each receive a $5,000 scholarship to the school of their choice.

“The 2014 recipients are a couple of amazing student-athletes,” WIAA Execu-tive Director Mike Colbrese said. “This

scholarship was intended to honor students who are well-rounded in not only academics, athletics and activities but also in community service and leadership. Andrew and Jenna went above and beyond the expectations of this scholarship in their efforts at their schools and in their communities.”

Wallen is a letter win-ner and a team captain in basketball and football and was named the South Puget Sound League North 4A Defensive Back of the Year. He was also a first-team selection as a wide receiver.

As a Raven, he set the school’s single-game re-ceiving yards record (244) to earn the MaxPreps Player of the Game Award,

an accolade he garnered three times. For his efforts on the gridiron, he was selected to compete in the East versus West all-star football game.

Wallen branched out of the athletics realm during his junior and senior years to participate in drama and music. The list of leadership responsibilities runs long for Wallen, as he served as class president

each of his first three years of high school, before tak-

ing on the respon-sibility of ASB Presi-dent as a senior. In addi-tion, he was the

student leader behind the “Save It Seattle, Don’t Text

and Drive Campaign,” which brought former Se-attle Seahawk Golden Tate to Auburn Riverside

In the community, Wal-len has volunteered his time at the Auburn Food Bank, assisted at youth football camps and was a member of the Oso Mud-slide Relief Group.

Wallen has committed to Central Washington University to play foot-

ball and study broadcast journalism.

Wallen and Moser along with the Class of 2014 WIAA Hall of Fame Inductees, will be honored at the WIAA Hall of Fame Luncheon, May 7 at the Renton Pavilion Event Center. Tickets for the event are on sale and may be purchased through the WIAA website at www.wiaa.com.

45 feet, 4 inches, the fourth-best distance in the 4A ranks this season.

Even Turner admits he’s surprised by his performance.

“I knew I’d have a little advantage because I started off jumping in the 40s. That’s not average for most people who just are starting out,” he said. “Once I got the technique down, I just rose to the occa-sion.”

Turner, a native of Mem-phis, Tenn., moved to Auburn in 2010 after his eighth-grade year.

Although he had played youth football and participat-

ed in kung fu as an elementary school student, he had yet to find his athletic niche.

“I just played piano and did my own thing,” he said.

Soon, however, his athletic prowess came to the atten-tion of Auburn Riverside’s coaches.

He turned out for basketball as a freshman but played little.

“I didn’t get that much play-ing time because I was new to the game,” he said.

As a sophomore, a pair of inguinal hernias requiring sur-gery hampered his progress.

“I had to overcome (them),” he said. “I had surgery my 10th grade year after the basketball season.”

Five schools earn state’s highest honor

Three Auburn high schools and two elementary schools recently earned the 2013 Washington Achieve-ment Award sponsored by the Office of Super-intendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education.

DOING HIS PARTDon Thomson deposits empty gallon jugs in the plastics bin during Pacific’s Earth Day event last Saturday. Pacific went green with its annual Earth Day celebration. Businesses such as Lowe’s and Puget Sound Energy were on hand to showcase LED lighting, recycling and other ways to become more ecologically and environmentally friendly. A drop-off center in the City Hall parking lot collected garbage, recycling and yard waste.MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter

EMERALD DOWNS hosts the 37th annual Washington State Chili Cookoff on Saturday, Aug. 16. The cookoff will be held in conjunction with live racing.Event producer Cynthia Stearns said more than 50 venues vied to host the competition. The International Chili Society officially sanctions the Washington State Chili Cookoff, with winners advancing to the World Championship in October. The ICS is the world’s largest food festival. At Emerald Downs, competitors will compete in three categories: chili red, chili verde and salsa. Winners in each category advance to the World Champion-ship (with minimum 10 competitors per category). In addition to live racing and the chili competition, sponsors and vendors will be on-site. There is sponsor/vendor space available. For more information, contact Event producer Cynthia Stearns at 360-589-7751 or [email protected].

“He took off the slide of his trombone and showed how you could use it to blow spitballs,” Nannery said. “Then he showed out you could use it on the flautist in front of you to hook their flute. I was pretty much sold at that point. More than anything, though, it was the com-munity in Auburn around

music and the kids around there. It’s always just been an integral part of my life.”

He began writing his own songs at Auburn High School, from which he graduated in 1997.

“My dad had a wild idea,” he said. “He was worried that I was playing too many video games, so he talked me into trading my 8-bit Nintendo for an Ibanez Strat copy and a

tube amp. I took chord charts out of an old piano book my parents had. And I just remember glomming off the stuff that I learned from the Auburn music programs.”

Several of the “grunge” bands that were gaining traction in Seattle in the early 1990s also influenced him.

“It was hard not to be influenced by a lot of

the stuff coming out of Green River Community College,” he said. “KGRG was putting on shows with Mudhoney, Seaweed, Presidents of the United States and Diamond Fist Werny. It was hard not to be influenced by all that rock and roll. We just have such a great culture of music in the Northwest.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

It’s great to be a part of it.”Nannery said the influence of the music

his parents played while he was growing up also filtered in.

“My parents listened to Tom Waits, Simon and Garfunkel, Peter, Paul and Mary and the Mammas and the Papas,” he said. “I can re-member my first albums I ever bought, Pearl Jam’s ‘Ten’ and a Dizzy Gillespie live concert. It was pretty eclectic.”

Funk and ska, jazz and Celtic music did their number on him, too.

“You just put all that through your filter,” he said. “Then, later in college, I found my own voice, and I found that Springsteen/Americana sounds just natural for me.”

Coupled with a gravelly voice, the byprod-uct of a childhood throat injury, Nannery found his niche.

It wasn’t until he spread his wings, left the Northwest and experienced the world, however, that it all come together.

After getting a degree in Communications Art from California Lutheran University during his second stint at the Los Angeles-area school, Nannery said, he came back north to work as a contractor at Microsoft.

“I realized I didn’t like the person I was becoming,” he said. “I had some big-boy decisions to make and decided I wasn’t ready to be that guy.”

Unwilling to settle down and become an-other worker drone, Nannery took to the road on two wheels, touring the United States and Mexico, putting more than 12,000 miles on his motorcycle.

During his trek, a chance encounter at the Grand Canyon youth hostel provided a shot at another adventure.

“I met this guy, Alastair Rowan,” he said. “We went to a local pub for a few beers, and the next thing I know I’m interviewing with the general manager of a five-star restaurant in New Zealand.”

Nannery soon found himself on the other side of the planet.

“The motorcycle trip alone was pretty life altering,” he said. “But the trip to New Zealand, I got to focus on my music. It gave me a chance to broaden my horizons and exposed me to more people. I was flat-broke but had a really good time. I worked really hard.

“Being a bit of a roustabout, I was there legally, but not a citizen or anything, but you have to be on point,” he said. “There was no safety net, and I learned a lot about counting on myself. If you didn’t have work, then you would have to find your way back home.”

After a year-and-half, Nannery returned to the Northwest to take up his musical career in earnest.

This past summer he started recording with renown engineer and producer Bubba Jones at Critical Sun Studio in Seattle.

Along with the Wooden Nickel Brass Band – bassist Ramon Salumbides and Auburn buddy and drummer Mike West – Nannery knocked out 32 songs.

“We recorded 16 with full band,” he said. “We went and just knocked it out. Mike and Ramon are just consummate professionals. It was a cool experience. It wasn’t punch in, make music and punch out. It was come have tea, chat and then get to work. Bubba and I negotiated a deal where we weren’t on the clock. There was a real kind of explor-atory sense and liberty to the session.”

Nannery said the trio also recorded 16 solo acoustic tunes and four tunes with vo-cals, an upright bass and an acoustic guitar.

He said the plan is to release the songs slowly as four EPs, with ’S.W.’ being the first batch. That way, he said, the band can con-centrate on touring and live shows.

More information about Nannery may be found at www.jakenannery.com. Samples of his music may be heard at soundcloud.com/jake-nannery/sets/swfulldownload/s-o1E7d.
