Regarding the strength of the City of Auburn’s information security systems today: it’s good, very good.

To the 500 employees with sensitive information stored in

the City’s computer systems, be it Social Security numbers, driver’s license data, health care informa-tion, or even something as simple as an application for the Family Medical Leave Act, that’s very good news.

Good news alike for police offi cers who deal with extremely

sensitive information every day in their contacts with the FBI, the Washington State Patrol, the Cen-tral Justice Information Center and other state and federal agen-cies and who must follow strict security protocols to access it.

Good news as well for the City’s fi nance department, which

processes roughly 24,000 fi nancial transactions a month, including credit card transactions.

But as good as the City’s systems are now, there can be no resting on today’s laurels.

As David Haugan, Information and Technology director for the City of Auburn, recently told City

leaders, the way to keep things secure is to stay ahead of the guys with long, bony fi ngers lurking in the shadows beyond the fi relight.

Or in plainer terms, avid cyber thieves in Russia, China, the old Baltic states and elsewhere.

Stepping out of the shad-ows of her sister’s death, Denise Brown has found light and purpose.

She travels throughout the country – and the world – to speak about the ravages of domestic violence.

Last Friday, she visited Auburn, joining commu-nity and area leaders to discuss the problem and to remember her sister,

Nicole Brown, the ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, who was murdered along with her friend outside her Southern California home on June 12, 1994.

The pain of her sister’s death still stings today for Brown, who shared per-sonal, family photos of her late sister with the public for the first time.

“It just breaks my heart. It’s been 21 years and it still chills me. It doesn’t get easi-er, the tears get less,” Brown

told a large gathering at Grace Community Church for a community-sponsored domestic violence event. “We were so close. We were always together, always watching each other’s backs … always doing things together.

“She lived a nightmare,” Brown said, “and I didn’t know anything about that nightmare until we read her notes in her diary. … Nicole never talked about it. She never let us know that anything was wrong in her life.”

Shortly after her death, the Nicole Brown Foun-dation was established to provide urgently needed funding to battered women shelters throughout the country.

Reforms followed. Con-gress passed the Violence Against Women Act. Nearly every state in the nation passed laws to help prevent domestic violence.

The laws and increased availability of counseling and shelter programs are subsequently saving lives, according to experts, but the problem isn’t going away.

As Mayor Nancy Backus put it, “(Auburn’s DV) statistics are alarming.”

More work is needed, Brown said. She and her family remain committed

to the cause, immersing themselves in the education of the cycle of violence.

In the aftermath of her sister’s death, Brown stepped in. She channeled her grief over her sister’s death into advocacy for women who live the same kind of violence she says her sister kept hidden before her death. She is working to stop domestic violence, and tours and speaks throughout the country on the issue at shelters, schools, churches, hospitals and prisons.

“I realized there are more people out there who have been devastated by domestic violence,” Brown said, “and I wasn’t the only one determined to end the epidemic of domestic violence. There were so many people.

“A whole new world opened up to me,” she said. “I knew nothing about it, but I learned about it really fast. I learned it first hand, through my travels, talking to people and their stories.”

Brown learns something new at each visit.

The community, she said, must pull together to stop the problem.

“You need to spread the word … you can be strong and save a life,” Brown told the audience.

“I pledge to continue my

efforts, to speak about do-mestic violence, to cry for my sister, to share stories and pictures,” she said. “But I hope my education today will be your educa-tion tomorrow, and (that) you will be able to spread the word and share stories and what you’ve learned today.

“Everybody needs to be involved. If people are not involved, somebody could end up losing their life. And you know what? This is about not losing lives,” she said. “We want to save

lives and have communi-ties working together so we can put an end to domestic violence.”

NotesCity leaders and the

Auburn Domestic Vio-lence Task Force welcomed Brown to the valley on Oct. 15 and joined her in planting a purple rhodo-dendron in front of City Hall to honor Nicole. Purple is the hue that repre-sents domestic violence

awareness. … October is Domestic Violence Aware-ness Month. … The City’s task force, Coordinated Community Response Against Domestic Vio-lence (a nonprofit agency) and the Muckleshoot Tribal Council presented the event at Grace Church. … Proceeds from the event supported survivors of domestic violence. …

Guest speakers at Friday’s event included Lisa Moore, whose brother, 45-year-old Randy Fergu-son, was murdered by his wife, Angela, in 2006 in their South Hill home, bringing a terrible end to years of constant verbal and emotional abuse. “I watched my brother suffer in shame for years,” Moore said. “It was hard for me. I introduced my brother to her. They seemed to have it all together in the begin-ning, but I quickly learned I had made the biggest mistake of my life. … She was control-ling, manipulative and jealous.”

Moore become a volunteer victim advocate, an impact public speaker who started a support group for male victims of domestic violence. She also pushed to change a state law that protected relatives who had assisted in crimes. Two of Angela’s children from a previous marriage helped dispose of Randy’s body, hide evidence and lied to protect their mother. Under lenient

laws at the time, they were charged with only a gross misdemeanor and avoided jail time.

But Moore worked four years to change the law. Then-Gov. Chris Gre-goire did so in 2010, signing “Randy’s Law,” which makes it a felony for adult relatives to render criminal assistance, punishable up to 10 years in prison. …

FOR THE REPORTER

Mayor Nancy Backus will represent the City of Auburn and Sound Cities Association on the new 28-member All Home Coordinating Board.

The board is designed to analyze, strategize and ensure change, bringing a diverse body of stakehold-ers working to address the issues of homelessness and leverage the exper-tise and resources of the partners and the wider community in collabora-tive support of a strategic plan.

All Home – formerly the Committee to End Homelessness – is a part-nership to make home-lessness in King County rare, brief and one-time.

All Home brings to-gether local governments, religious institutions, nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, shelter and housing providers, the private sector and en-gaged citizens in a coordi-nated effort that responds to the immediate crisis of

homeless individuals and addresses the root causes of the problem in our region.

The board has begun implementing a new four-year plan to ad-dress homelessness in the county.

The new name is intended to emphasize that it takes a community-wide effort to tackle the problem of homelessness.

“It is not just the name change that will make the difference,” Backus said. “It is the renewed and pragmatic effort of the entire region that will. It can no longer be accepted that children and families are forced to live on our streets.”

According to officials, homelessness is a crisis in King County. In 2015 alone, nearly 10,000 people are experiencing homelessness on a given day, and nearly 40 percent are unsheltered.

“Every single day, every month, and annually the City stops thousands, if not more, viruses from malware and from people trying to get into the system,” Haugan said.

And while the City processes 100,000 or more emails every month, it re-jects 30,000 of those emails that come either from the bad guys or that enter the system in such a way that they can weaken it.

“So we already were doing a lot,” Haugan said. “The folks who built our perimeter security have kept us safe thus far. But they also recognize that we are not experts.”

Which is why the City has brought in experts to perform what Haugan called “a hard-wired, deep-dive security assessment” to ascertain, well, what the City should be doing that it isn’t.

“That’s everything, soup to nuts,” Haugan said of the assessment.

Today, the City of Auburn has three differ-ent security compliance requirements it has to meet every year, from:

1. The payment card industry (PCI)

2. The Central Justice Information System (CJIS). Compliance with CJIS pro-

tocols ensures that police officers will continue to have access to the Washing-ton State Patrol, the FBI and all the other information they need to do their jobs.

3. The Health Insurance Portability and Account-ability Act, or HIPAA.

It’s critically important that the City do so, he said, because information security is changing every single day. Last year hackers hit Home Depot and 58 million records were lost. Hackers hit Anthem Health and 170 million records were compromised.

“It’s gotten up to the point where the U.S. Army got hacked and lost 76 million records. And (recently) Apple Computer got hacked. That’s the gold standard in the IT world. Apple has been notoriously good about cyber secu-rity, yet even they got hit,” Haugan said.

“…We have a complex city here, one that is diversified, and it’s not going to get any less complex. We are dealing with an information security environment that is chang-ing on a regular basis, and we want to get ahead of the curve and protect it as much as possible. … There’s something we’re facing in the information security world, and that’s stuff all flows downhill – to little cities like Auburn,” Haugan said.

Fire destroys warehouse near academyFOR THE REPORTER

Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA) firefighters fought and doused an Auburn warehouse fire late Tues-day night.

There were no re-ported injuries.

According to the VRFA, the fire began at approximately 5:42 p.m. in a warehouse that houses the busi-ness Monster Metal. The large two-story, metal warehouse is located at 2809 Academy Drive SE, near the boys dormitory on the Auburn Adven-tist Academy.

The owner of the busi-ness and his dog were pres-ent when the fire began and evacuated safely before calling 911. No one else was in the building.

Two ladder trucks, five fire engines, a medic unit and a rehabilitation unit responded to the two-alarm fire.

The fire is under investigation.

STAFF REPORTS

An apparent drive-by shooting Tuesday left a 17-year-old boy dead and his father critically injured, Auburn Police reported.

The shooting happened sometime before 5:30 p.m. at a bus stop at 17th Street Southeast and B Street Southeast in a residential neighborhood off A Street, according to Cmdr. Steve Stocker with the Auburn Police Department.

Stocker said a man and

his two sons were sitting at a bus stop when someone drove up and opened fire.

Authorities said the son was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. The father, 41, was critically wounded and transported to Harborview Medical Center.

Police continue to gath-ering details.

The younger, unin-jured son, who witnessed the shooting, was being questioned by police. The family apparently lives in

the area.Late Tuesday, a blood-

spattered car was found abandoned in Tacoma. Police believe it to be the one used by a suspect or suspects who shot the boy and his father.

The Acura sedan has been reported stolen out of Federal Way and matches witness descriptions of the suspects’ vehicle.

Detectives are still trying to piece together a motive in the shooting.

JACQUELINE JOHNSON, a student in the Master’s in Com-munication: Native Voices program at the University of Washing-ton, received the Honorable Claudia Kauff man Scholarship at a ceremony on campus last Saturday.

The scholarship is in recognition of Kauff man’s achievement in becoming the fi rst Native American woman elected to the state Senate. She served the 47th Legislative District.

Johnson said this scholarship will help her fl ourish as a fi lm-maker and inspire others, especially women. She aspires to document lifestyles through the lens of her community, the Makah Nation, to spread and preserve knowledge. She is re-searching urban Native youth identity in the Pacifi c Northwest, and the various defi nitions of the term “urban Indian.”

The scholarship is intended to encourage other Native Ameri-cans to follow Kauff man’s example of community service.

“This is an honor, and I am hopeful this will inspire Native students to continue to seek higher education at every opportu-nity,“ Kauff man said.

Kauff man, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho, has long been dedicated to native youth and education. She serves as chair of the Seattle Indian Services Commission and is vice chair of the Green River College Board of Trustees.

Auburn shines as sustainable community

Th roughout my summer-long spell working as an intern with Waste Management’s Public Outreach and Education Team, I had the opportunity to meet with solid waste coordinators and staff from municipalities around King County.

I found the City of Auburn staff to very proud of its recy-cling program and extremely encouraging of my education and outreach work in their city. Aft er meeting with city staff , I was ready and motivat-ed to engage with multifamily residents and property manag-ers around recycling education and our services.

In conducting outreach, I was surprised to learn how many residents were excited about the household hazard-ous waste disposal facility in Auburn, where they could drop off their chemicals or fl uorescent light bulbs. I also had the opportunity to provide education and outreach at the Auburn International Farmers Market. Th e event coordinator was over-the-top helpful, and residents were very apprecia-tive that I was there to provide tips on recycling.

I hope that the City of Auburn and Waste Manage-ment continue to build a more sustainable community for years to come.– Adam Ellner, Waste Management intern

Rehab area greatly appreciated

It was interesting to read about the update to the Multi-Care Auburn Medical Center’s emergency area. I would like to know what happened to the hospital’s third fl oor rehab area? Went to visit there re-cently and it was “gone.”

Th is was the most wonderful rehab area. Staff and doctors were magnifi cent. Small, but extremely effi cient.

Aft er a prolonged stay in the hospital for double pneumo-nia, I was privileged to be accepted there for rehab, and if it wasn’t for their care – and in their words, “working my butt off six days a week” – I would probably be in a nursing home. I cannot speak more highly of them.

I was 79 years old at the

time, and there were those who wanted to give up on me. My daughter and the rehab prevailed. I am now 82 and back to my old self, going strong.– Rue-Ann Larson

Please budget for ordinary people

We hear the same com-plaints around Auburn.

Th e person who has a good job is oft en struggling to pay his utility bills.

Th is is not someone who has seven kids and a wife who are taking showers twice a day. He’s not the guy who’s watering a half-acre of grass. He doesn’t have a swimming pool and he doesn’t have a leak in front of his house that’s fl ooding the street.

He’s part of a family who uses an average amount of water each month.

When he talks to his friends who have homes in other states, no one ever mentions high water bills. Th ey never complain about any of their utility bills.

Do people in Auburn have a right to complain about their water bills? You bet they do.

A small group of people in Auburn have come with a solution to high water bills. In-stead of putting about $30,000 a year into artwork on streets that people don’t have the time or even the inclination to look

Freedom without order is just chaos

Freedom. What a wonderful power – or is it? I considered that paradox aft er speak-ing with one of my Chinese students from Shanghai. I had asked him what had struck him most about being in America. His answer was, “all the freedom we enjoy in this country.” It was such a contrast to his coun-try’s control under “socialist capitalism.”

Yes, we have freedom in this country, but like everything carried to an extreme, too much of it can be just as bad as too little of it. Let me illustrate.

I showed a segment of an Internet video called, “How to Run a Political Campaign: Campaign Strategy” to my Civics and Government class at Green River College. I showed my students the video because I wanted

them to know how it feels to run for public offi ce. I thought having that perspective would make the lectures and discussions about government more realistic and rel-evant. It had that eff ect.

One of the points the narrator in the video made was that politics is an area where there aren’t a lot of rules for what to do and what not to do. He went on to say that becoming a candidate is not for the faint of heart. Th e situation can change drastically with one misspoken word, or one decision not care-fully thought through.

Voters have little patience for a candidate who has not carefully considered why he/she is running and why they believe they

at, our mayor and City Council need to consider the pocketbooks of ordi-nary people.

If you take away expen-sive travel for the mayor and council, and the useless waste of money on com-munication systems, private council office space and perks for elected officials, it should be possible to put together a funding pack-age that will maintain all of Auburn’s water systems.

Why can’t people we put in office put together a budget that just benefits or-dinary people like us? The people we talk to believe our elected officials should

be putting at least $40,000 a year into a utility that will help subsidize our high water bills.

We all appreciate art, mu-sic and culture, but enough is enough.

Give us a budget that uses common sense and compassion for the residents. Stop making the utility rate payers victims of the mayor’s budget.– Virginia Haugen and Jeanne Herold

Delusional politics

You would think from Jerry Galland and W.

Riedel’s letters to the editor (Auburn Reporter, Oct. 2 and 16, respectively) that a bunch of scary, homeless firefighters were intimidat-ing motorists for money in order to go buy cheap booze or meth.

Of course, the truth is that they were volunteer-ing their time to solicit charitable donations. Were Galland and Riedel some-how robbed of their spare change?

Amazingly, Riedel even found a correlation between the firefighters’ activities and perceived “violations” by Secretary of State Clin-ton and President Obama.

I wonder what Mr. Riedel knows about any alleged

lawbreaking by Secretary Clinton that eight investi-gations, to date, have not revealed.

I also wonder how he feels about the fact that President Obama’s “extra-constitutional” actions (read: executive orders) number less than each of the totals signed by his two predecessors, and num-ber, in fact, within a very modest range compared to most presidents of the last hundred years.

Wasteful spending on a witch hunt

The truth about the Benghazi “witch hunt” finally came out.

The Benghazi commit-tee is a completely political entity to discredit Hillary Clinton. Eight previous Benghazi committees, at a cost of $4.6 million of your tax dollars, have been wasted on this witch hunt.

Nevertheless, when a vote came up in the House of Representatives as to

whether or not to pursue this wasteful, blatantly political frivolity, our very own Republican parrot, Dave Reichert, voted to continue to waste your money on continuing this committee.

I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, this poor decision is not in your best interest. Reichert continues to vote as the Republican party tells him to, and not in his constitu-encies’ best interest.

Do not vote for him.– Patti Larson

are the right person for the job. There is Donald Trump, though, who seems to defy this adage.

Trump has been blunt, honest, and politically incorrect, stating his true feelings about issues. As a result, early Republican voters have found his freedom to speak as he pleases refreshing. This seems to be counter-intuitive – to do the opposite of what is culturally and politically accept-able, and to be rewarded with soaring poll results and money filling Trump’s campaign coffers.

Trump’s sense of freedom has turned controlling cultural rules on their head, but has it made America a better nation, or one dragged back into historical stereotypes about race, women, and immigration? Is freedom a blessing or a curse in these cases?

While freedom is part of who we are, freedom also allowed a mentally ill person to walk into a classroom at Umpqua Community College and shoot and kill eight students and a teacher for no reason, and then kill himself. Freedom presents its hazards, too.

It forces the media to reconsider if the names of shooters should be published to prevent the fame and at-tention that the shooter attained from setting a negative example to others who crave notoriety.

Freedom by itself can be very de-structive. It needs to be melded with self-control, concern for others, and a sense of balance and perspective. Of and by itself, it, like any virtue, can turn ugly very quickly.

To prevent just such a thing from happening was the goal of the Found-

ers of our Constitution: to balance freedom with the need for order. The Constitution was written to protect individual liberty and at the same time provide structure to protect so-ciety from ruthless people who abuse their freedom. In the long run, their foresight has been highly successful.

My Chinese student was in awe of our freedom, as well he should be. The People’s Republic of China overemphasizes control and the result is corruption and poverty.

But we in America need to think about the negatives of liberty as well as its positives as we live our lives. Any virtue becomes evil without limits. Freedom without restraint can destroy us.

Residents only were able to hear from candidates of one of the City of Pacifi c’s three contested political positions during an Oct. 15 community forum.

About 40 residents attended the start of the session at the Pacifi c Com-munity Center Gym.

Pacifi c voters will deter-mine three City Council races, along with the may-or’s offi ce, on Nov. 3. But among the three contested races – Katie Garberding is running uncontested for Position 1 – both can-didates only showed up for Position No. 6. David Storaasli and Don Th omson are vying for that seat.

Storaasli, who works in waste management, has lived in Pacifi c for eight years. He said he initially considered running for mayor before several of his friends, who like Leanne Guier’s performance, encouraged him to run for council.

Along with Garberding, Storaasli lives in White River Estates and his home

was among many that were damaged when the rising White River waters fl ooded the area in January 2009. He said the area has not been the same since and blames offi cials at King County, whom he said have not kept promises to restore the area.

“I will be beating down King County’s doors,” Storaasli said. “I want my neighborhood back.”

Th omson, who is retired, moved to the area in 1990 and “found the people here

to be very warm.” One of Th omson’s major priorities, he said, would be to invest more into programs for youths and seniors.

“We don’t have many programs for our seniors,” he said. “We have to stimulate them and get them more involved.”

Several candi-dates noted that the city still is recovering from former mayor Cy Sun’s tenure, when Th omson said the city “spent (money)

on attorney fees that was earmarked for infrastruc-ture.” In an eff ort to address that, candidates were polled on whether they would sup-port selling bonds to raise capital.

“I think bonds are a won-derful idea, quite frankly, if we want to get some things done right now,” Storaasli said.

Th omson noted on multiple occasions during the meeting that he favored some inexpensive projects, such as repainting stripes on roads, to give the ap-pearance of progress. But he did not take a position on the possibility of selling bonds.

“If I am elected, I will look at all ideas,” Th omson said.

Both candidates also were asked about dealing with the issue of “explod-ing” homeless in the area, and an organization they might enlist to help Pacifi c

address it. Storaasli said he would solicit assistance from the Greater Council of Churches because of the work they do with the homeless. Th omson said many homeless are men-tally ill and do not want to live in homes.

“Th e City of Pacifi c doesn’t have the resources to deal with those prob-lems,” he said.

Storaasli and Th omson are running for the seat that is being vacated by Joshua Putnam, who elected not to run.

Meanwhile, Guier will at-tempt to retain her mayoral position. Th e City Council unanimously selected Guier over her opponent, fellow councilmember John Jones, as mayor in July 2013. Guier replaced Sun, who was recalled as mayor.

Guier, who is running against Gary Nitschke, touted some of her accom-plishments. She said public safety is her “No. 1 priority” and the City of Pacifi c now has seven offi cers on the street.” Guier said she also “got the ship righted” aft er Sun’s controversial tenure ended.

She said one of her priorities, if reelected, will include the completion of the Interurban Trail.

Clint Steiger also is running for reelection for Position No. 3 against Brice Erickson. He noted that he worked to secure funding for construction on Stewart Road and also collaborated with Sumner offi cials to “save” the Valentine Avenue Southeast/136th Avenue East project. Th e latter proj-ect, which was budgeted at $12.4 million, will widen the street – a mile-and-a-half, two-lane road heavily used by 18-wheelers – to three lanes, with a center turn lane.

While the budget is lim-ited, Steiger said he would work toward improvements on a section of Milwaukee Boulevard if reelected.

Americans are living longer. Home val-ues are up. And for many senior citi-zens, their home is their single biggest asset, oft en accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefi t from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Th ompson.“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Th ompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “Th ey’re simply an eff ective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Th ompson. Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater

protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefi t of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash fl ow, a huge blessing for those on a fi xed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefi t from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. Th at’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfi ed with their reverse mortgages. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

*If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments.

shape sidewalks and other elements along an eight-to-10 block reach. Th e eff ort is also looking at ways to activate and enhance connected properties, such as Plaza Park, and public parking lots.

“We’re looking at a re-imagining of Main Street itself. How can we freshen up the right of way along Main Street and a couple of the adjacent, publicly owned spaces … and position it to help make Au-burn a thriving place that we know it can be,” said Brice Maryman, project manager and a landscape architect with Seattle’s MIG SvR Design.

Maryman, his project advisory team and City staff were on hand at an Oct. 14 open house in the City Hall lobby to gather input from residents and business owners. Feedback has also been drawn from experts and key stakeholders on Auburn’s downtown, including cus-tomers, even public works, police,

fi re and public safety voices.More opportunities are planned

to gather public input, project lead-ers said.

Th e team is pitching two perspec-tives for sidewalk, curb and open space designs, both thematically tied to Auburn’s rich history. Th ey also are entertaining and testing new ideas in hopes of arriving at a community-backed and city-funded preferred plan by the end of the year.

One option explores Auburn’s railroad history, a plan that features curbless streets with mixing zones, inviting parklets and large trees. Th e other option is infl uenced by the meandering rivers that fl owed through the valley, including a channel of the Green River that once braided across Main Street near B Street Northeast. Th e pro-posal emphasizes organic forms, such as benches of overblown river rocks, more green spaces and fewer big trees.

“Both of them have really com-

pelling ideas that we are playing with,” Maryman added. “We’re re-ally keen on what the public has to say and how they respond to them.”

Once the alternatives propos-als lead to a preferred one, and the plan is offi cially approved, project and City staff can begin the funding cycle next year. Th e project will pursue grant opportunities.

“What people are seeing is the City is willing to invest to help make the downtown environment more engaging, more successful,” said Lauren Flemister, City senior plan-ner of urban design. “Th e mayor and the City Council are real sup-portive. We’re excited.”

Maryman has seen a similar project succeed elsewhere, includ-ing his team’s recent completion of Bell Street Park in downtown Seattle

“It’s all about changing the narra-tive of downtown Auburn,” Mary-man said.

enrolled in Running Start, does not attend classes in ASD all day. Th ere used to be a greater diff erence between the two counts, but all ASD kindergarten students, with the exception of some at Lakeland Hills Elementary, attend class for an entire school day.

Blansfi eld said growth was stable throughout the district.

“Th ere was no dramatic, explosive growth,” she said. “It was pretty steady and predicted.”

Th ere are provisions in ASD’s contract with the Auburn Education Associa-tion to maintain class sizes at certain levels. Because of that, the district might need to hire more teachers. Blans-fi eld said the district might have to do that for another reason, as well.

“I think what will happen is as the state is reducing class size … that has an impact on space in our elementary schools,” she said, adding that ASD offi cials might look into building two new elementary schools in the future. “As a district, we put together an ad hoc committee last year, given state-required changes in class size.”

Blansfi eld expects enroll-ment growth to continue. She said district offi cials use a variety of data, including birth rates in King and Pierce coun-

ties during the last 13 years, to project enrollment fi ve years into the future. For the 2020-21 school year, Blansfi eld said district offi cials expect more than 16,500 students.

About Blansfi eldBlansfi eld succeeded deputy

superintendent Mike New-man, who retired in June. She previously was the district’s executive director of career and college readiness. Th is is her second tenure within ASD. Blansfi eld was part of the original staff when Auburn Riverside High School opened in 1995 and taught business and marketing classes there until she was hired as a pro-gram supervisor at the Offi ce of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in August 2001. Th ree years later, Blansfi eld returned to the district as its director of secondary student learning.

“A lot of my experiences as a program manager kind of set that foundation for me,” she said. “It was an incredible asset coming into this role.”

Blansfi eld earned her bachelor’s degree in educa-tion in 1992 from Eastern Washington University, but she said she remained inter-ested in business because that was her original major before she switched as a junior. She also acquired her superinten-dent credential from Seattle University.

Rosella Mosby of Mosby Farms recently attended the ninth annual American Farm Bureau Women’s Communications Boot Camp.

More than 40 women applied for the opportunity and only 15 were accepted for the training session Oct. 13-16.

Th e group met elected offi cials in Washington, D.C.

“We could choose our subject matter, which included biotech-nology, clean water act or agricultural labor. I chose ag-

riculture labor because it hits close to home,” Mosby said in a news release.

Th e camp was open to all women

who are Farm Bureau members and want to enhance their commu-nication and leadership skills. Th e intensive training off ered sessions on public speaking, testifying, target-ing your message, working with the media and seeking elected offi ce.

Mosby has run a successful CSA (Community Supported Agricul-ture) program, a farm stand and community outreach. She also has worked with local chefs through her family farm in Auburn for years.

Chinook Elementary School received the KCTS/9 Pathways to Excellence Award, which recog-nizes schools making measurable progress and creating greater edu-cational opportunity for students.

Th e public TV channel – in partnership with the Washington State Board of Education – awards one elementary, one middle and one high school from the state.

Chinook’s goal is to have each child reading at or above his or her grade level. Instructors at Chi-nook have found that academ-ic success and improved behavior go hand in hand, so the curricu-lum includes constant checkups with students to make sure they are grasping key concepts.

Chinook’s story is featured on KCTS/9 at kcts9.org/programs/pathways-excellence.

Chinook is a State Title I Distinguished School, a 2014 School of Distinction and a 2014 Washington Achievement Award winner for high progress.

Top honorMt. Baker’s school newspaper,

Th e Canine Chronicle, is the best middle school newspaper in

the state.Th e Washington Journalism

Education Association (WJEA) recently rated the paper on six diff erent standards. Th e paper received fi ve superior ratings, one excellent rating and earned the 2015 All-Washington award.

Mt. Baker journalism students are committed to telling the sto-ries of their school in an engaging

publication that reaches a diverse readership. Th e Canine Chronicle is published six times per year by students in Peter

Warring’s semester-long journalism class.

Th e school submitted three editions of the paper from the 2014-15 school year for evalua-tion. Th e WJEA recognized only fi ve publications across the state.

“Our parents, staff , adminis-trators and students have done everything possible to support our newspaper,” Warring said.

In the six-year history of the paper, Th e Canine Chronicle has received “Special Recogni-tion” from WJEA in 2011, “Best in Show” second place at the 2012 National Scholastic Press Association national convention and “Best in Show” from WJEA in 2013 and 2014.

Wagner to lead bandMeghan Wagner, Auburn Riv-

erside band teacher, will conduct the Washington Ambassadors of Music band, beginning in 2016.

Th e band includes about 100 high school students from through-out the state who were nominated by their music directors.

Th e band will rehearse for three days at the beginning of the sum-mer and will then travel to Europe in July. Th e band will perform at outdoor venues in England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzer-land, Austria and Liechtenstein.

“I am very excited to be the conductor of this great group as we represent Washington and the United States,” Wagner said.

Wagner, who plays the French horn, is a nationally board certi-fi ed band teacher who has been at Auburn Riverside for 10 years. She earned her bachelor’s of music education from Pacifi c Lu-theran University and her master’s of music education from Central Washington University.

ElsewhereThe following students from Auburn earned undergraduate degrees at Washington State University: Sarah Virginia Amato (bachelor of science in psychology, cum laude); Alyson Irene Huckins (B.S., animal sciences); Michael

Sebastian Larosa (bachelor of arts, social sci-ences); Jessica Renee Long (B.A., human development); Michael Joseph Rieman (B.A., business administration); Courtney Liesbeth Else Stute (B.A., human develop-ment); and Hayleigh Linay White (B.A., social sciences). ... Auburn Mountainview junior Payton Strong spent time this sum-mer working with the Auburn School District Maintenance & Operations (M&O) department developing a unique, creative and memorable department logo. Strong is a student in Lonnie Chavez’s graphic design class. The logo is a

central part of the M&O department’s strategy to evolve, improve processes and better com-municate about the ASD schools and facilities. “We are so excited with the logo Payton created for us. It embodies the spirit of our department and showcases all of the groups in the M&O department,” said Randy Thomas, execu-tive director of M&O. The M&O Department manages maintenance, custodial, printing and safety services. Strong integrated the logo and department mission statement together to serve as a symbol and reminder of the depart-ment’s philosophy.

Stewart Kershaw, music director and conductor of the Auburn Symphony Orchestra, has announced his retirement, eff ective im-mediately.

Citing personal rea-sons, Kershaw decided to retire rather than continue through the 2016-17 season as previously planned.

Maestro Kershaw began the Auburn Symphony while he was music director and conductor of the or-chestra at Pacifi c Northwest Ballet in Seattle. He had created the PNB orchestra, acclaimed as one of the best ballet orchestras in America, and in 1997 with the Auburn Symphony, he fulfi lled his dream of fi nding a venue for those talented professional musi-cians to play from the sym-phonic repertoire on stage at the Auburn Performing

Arts Center.Aft er his retirement from

PNB in 2009, Kershaw re-mained as conductor of the Auburn Symphony Orches-tra. His creative program-ming, encyclopedic knowl-edge of composers and music, and a commanding and nuanced conducting

technique, brought a level of quality and brilliance to the Auburn Symphony concerts under his baton.

Longtime board member Nancy Colson summed up the sentiments of the symphony board:

“Stewart has been the face of the Auburn Sym-

phony for nearly 20 years. He brought us a great orchestra and deepened ap-preciation of classical music in Auburn and the Puget Sound community. We are grateful for the legacy he created and wish him the very best.”

Th e ASO season will con-

tinue as planned with guest conductors for the remain-ing concerts. Th e symphony board will immediately begin a search for Kershaw’s replacement.

Th e board plans to honor Kershaw for his contribu-tion to the community at a future event.

...Pampered Pets

BY KATHY LANG

Family Dog Training Center

Halloween is right around the corner. What’s a dog – or a cat – to do?

From a dog’s perspective, walking the neighborhood aft er dark can be down-right scary. Th ere are lots of strange-looking, short creatures running down the sidewalk. Th e crea-tures smell and sound like humans, but they certainly don’t look like normal chil-dren and adults.

Dogs and cats who re-main home as the trick-or-treaters arrive are exposed to the same sights, sounds

and smells as those out on the street. In some ways, it’s even more frightening since these aliens are invading the pet’s territory with constant doorbells, door knocks and “trick or treats!”

What’s a concerned pet parent to do?

Even if your dog has a rock-solid temperament and nothing bothers him, it’s still best to leave him at home on Halloween eve-ning. You never know when something truly unusual might happen resulting in a long-term behavior issue for your pet. Some frightened dogs will try to escape; they can slip out of

the collar or pull the leash out of your hand. Others will lunge and bite. Puppies and older dogs with fear issues should defi nitely stay home. Halloween is not the time to socialize or work through behavior problems.

At home, it’s best to confi ne your dogs and cats so they cannot slip out the door. Pets who have a dif-fi cult time coping with lots of noise and activity should be exercised, fed and put to bed before the fi rst door knock. A television or radio can keep your pet company and block out upsetting sounds.

If you do decide to leave

your dog or cat loose in the house, it’s best to have him wear a leash and stay back from the doorway. If he’s reliably obedience-trained, put him on a down stay in the foyer, or have a family member hold his leash each time the doorbell rings. If your dog will honor a baby-gate, that’s another way to keep him secure.

For added safety, be sure your pet is microchipped and wears a current ID tag attached to his collar or harness.

For especially anxious pets, talk with your veteri-narian about medications that can help. And always remember to keep the pets away from the candy.

RAVENS WIN SIXTH CONSECUTIVE MATCH Izzy Creighton scored three

goals as Auburn Riverside won its sixth consecutive match

with a 6-0 victory Oct. 15 against Auburn in a

Natalie Lake also contributed a pair of goals for the Ravens

That concentration seemed apparent toward the end of the third game, which the Lions (10-2, 9-2) led most of the way. Au-burn Mountainview twice had one-point advantages – 26-25 and 27-26 – and needed just another score to close out the game.

Friday’s games

Auburn at Auburn Mountainview, 7 p.m. Sumner at Bonney Lake, 7 p.m.Lakes at Enumclaw, 7 p.m.

It was a role reversal of sorts for Auburn Mountainview.

One week after a dramatic come-from-behind win against Lakes, the Lions could not sustain their early success last Friday night during a 34-20 loss at Peninsula in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest.

Auburn Mountainview, which overcame a trio of three touch-down deficits during the previous week, could not build on a 13-0 lead in the second quarter against the Seahawks.

“I think we got a little bit nervous,” Auburn Mountainview coach Jared Gervais said. “I think we did a little of what Lakes did last week. Things got off to a really good start. Then things started not going great and I think we got a little nervous; a little antsy.

“We started taking too many shots offensively and not getting first downs like we should be. It just kind of snowballed on us and we just couldn’t get it back under control all game long.”

After senior quarterback Gresch Jensen, who completed 23 of 46 passes for 383 yards, two touchdowns and three intercep-

tions, helped guide the Lions to touchdowns on two of their first three possessions, Auburn Moun-tainview did not gain another first down for the remainder of the

first half.Peninsula had no such prob-

lems.The Seahawks, who lean

heavily on a physical running

game, rushed for a pair of touchdowns to tie the score, 13-all, at halftime.

The Lions (5-2 overall, 3-2 league) scored once during the third quarter when Ki’Jan Weisinger broke several tackles en route to a 60-yard touchdown recep-tion from Jensen. But that was sandwiched between a pair of touchdown runs by Peninsula junior Kenny Easton, who finished with 185 yards on 41 carries.

“Those backs are big and their linemen are big,” Gervais said. “I think they thought they could run the ball on us. They were able to grind it out and grind it out and grind it out. They were able to stick to their game plan.”

Easton’s scores left Au-burn Mountainview with a 27-20 deficit entering the fourth quarter. But the Lions’ next two possessions ended with a punt and an interception.

The Seahawks (3-4, 2-3) took advantage as Easton scored on an 8-yard run with 3 minutes, 3 seconds remaining.

wanting every point. We can always simu-late that in practice.”

The Lions also lost in four games Sept. 24 against Auburn Riverside. But both coaches felt Auburn Mountainview played better in the rematch.

“I think overall we played well,” Peterson said. “We played competitively. I think if we continue to play at a high level like that, it will be a great thing for us in the district tournament in a few weeks.”

Leverenz, whose team will travel to the Nov. 6-7 league tournament at Auburn Mountainview, said she looks forward to again competing against the Lions.

“What a great match,” she said. “We al-ways have that sort of crosstown rival with Mountainview. They give us things that we haven’t seen all year – some big hitters in Kiley Lewis and Ali Davenport. Their setter does a great job of mixing up the ball and they play great defense.”

Ravens junior outside hitter Kaytlyn Hea-slip, who had 13 digs and two aces, also felt

the contingent of raucous crowds from both schools played a role in two of the four games requiring more than 25 points to win.

“It was awesome,” she said. “I loved the crowds. I think it really brings up the mo-mentum of the game.”

Sophomore outside hitter Calley Heil-born, who had 11 kills, 10 digs and 1 1/2 blocks, shared similar sentiments.

“It was so fun with all of the crowds cheering,” she said. “It was so hectic and so much fun.”

Auburn Riverside navigated that envi-ronment with a youthful roster. The Ravens only have three seniors. But two of them – middle hitter Kasey Holand, who had 12 kills, 11 digs and two blocks, and outside hitter Kiana Drumheller – made significant impacts. Drumheller finished with 19 kills, 11 digs and two aces.

“I think Kasey and Kiana stepped up as always and lead this team really well,” Leverenz said. “Kaytlyn Heaslip is another one. They have been there and done it.”

And focused.

Auburn’s Brian Thornquist was named the South Puget Sound League 3A’s singles player of the year. Thornquist won the league singles

tournament with a 6-3, 6-1 victory against Sumner’s Zylan Jacobson. He now advances to the Oct. 30 district tournament. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

League champ

[ VOLLEYBALL from page 17 ]

Auburn Mountainview had one more possession, but Jensen’s pass on fourth-and-2 at Peninsula’s 42-yard line fell incomplete and the Seahawks were able to run out the clock.

Gervais said it is a good lesson for his team about preparation as they head to-ward the playoffs. The Lions still can secure second place in SPSL 3A if they win their final two regular-season games. Sumner (7-0, 5-0) clinched the league champion-ship during Friday’s win against Lakes. The top four teams in the league qualify for the playoffs, which begin during the first week of November.

“Our goal is the playoffs,” Gervais said. “Like I told them, ‘Nothing’s changed.’ Everything that we want to do moving forward is still able to be done.”

It starts with a rivalry game against Au-burn (2-5, 2-3). Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Memorial.

“That’s going to be a huge battle for both teams,” Gervais said. “City bragging rights on the line and it’s a big deal for these kids.”

ElsewhereMalik Williams scored three touchdowns

in Auburn’s 37-20 South Puget Sound League 3A loss to Bonney Lake on Oct. 15 at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Panthers improved to 3-2 in league, 4-3 overall, while the Trojans dropped to 2-3 and 2-5.

Williams scored on a 45-yard run and hauled in TD passes of 20 and 55 yards from Justin Ioimo.

Ethan Koepke ran for three TDs and Marcus Hamilton ran for two more for Bonney Lake.
