A recent increase in the num-bers of transients in downtown Auburn has become pebbles in the shoes of the merchants and people who work there.

One waitress cited daily incidents of transients rooting through cigarette receptacles out-side her place of employment. She recalled one man who walked into the business recently and for no reason began elbowing customers.

“One of our customers chased

him out and the guy went to an-other business and did the same thing,” said the waitress, who asked that her name not be used.

“We see so many more home-less people just walking around,” said a downtown merchant, who also asked that her name not

be used. “In B Plaza between us and Safeway, they’re congregat-ing, sitting around. I love getting panhandled walking into Safeway. You see homeless people camping out in the flower beds across from Safeway.

“I grew up here, and I’ve never

seen anything like it,” she added.Both comments come on the

cusp of Mayor Nancy Backus’ roundtable on homelessness, which City Officials say should begin meeting in October.

One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, the American Civil War thundered to a close, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s The-ater in Washington, D.C., and in Blooming Grove, Ohio, future president Warren G. Harding was born.

Lesser known, perhaps, is that 1865 was also the year R.C. Smith founded in the old Fawcett log cabin, in what was not yet even the town of Slaughter, the First United Methodist Church.

Auburn’s Siahna Im made it through the first round of blind auditions, securing a spot on Team Pharrell as NBC kicked off Season 9 of the hit show this week.

The show appears at 8 p.m. Mon-days and Tuesdays on KING-5.

At only 15, Im has travelled the world with her pilot father and mother.

In third grade, Im was introduced to soul music in her music class by a video of Ray Charles. From there, she took it upon herself to research other soul singers.

Im has started gigging around Seattle, but she hopes “The Voice” can open more doors to a career as a soul singer. COURTESY PHOTO

TEEN DAZZLES FOR THE REPORTER

Tamika Gunn of Au-burn made a recent stop at her routine convenient store, Dollar Plus, at 3930 A St. SE, in Auburn, and walked out, unaware she was holding in her hand a “Neon 5s” Scratch ticket worth $50,000.

“I waited until I got home to scratch the ticket and was in complete shock. Who knew I was

holding onto $50,000 be-fore I got home?” she told Lottery officials. “I first told my husband, then my mom, then my cousin … and pretty soon my whole family knew.”

When asked about her plans for the money, she said she was in the midst of planning a weekend getaway with her husband.

“We absolutely love Ocean Shores. A vacation

there is one of the first things on our bucket list, now that we’ve crossed off winning the Lottery,” she shared, jokingly.

Gunn said this is her biggest Lottery win to date.

“I’ve won $10 here and there, and usually mix up which games I play. I’ll definitely continue to test my luck in hopes of win-ning again.”

Sifting sootA fire heavily damaged a home in the 1100 block of K Street Northeast in Auburn last Saturday night, displacing a family of five, the Valley Regional Fire Authority reported. Neighbors called 911 to report the fire after seeing flames at the back of the house at about 7:20 p.m. Fire crews extinguished the fire quickly, but the approximately 1,200-square-foot home sustained heavy fire and smoke damage. The two adults and three children were not at home when the fire began but arrived later to see the damage, the VRFA said. The family is staying with relatives. The fire is under investigation. COURTESY PHOTO, VRFA

The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 182 calls for service between Sept. 14 and 20, among them the following:

Sept. 14Aid call: 8:29 a.m., (Algona). Firefighters and King County Medics treated a woman who was complain-ing of chest pressure and a private ambulance transported her to Multi-Care Auburn Medical Center (MAMC).

Sept. 15Burn complaint: 4:44 p.m., (Lake-land Hills). Word of a possible illegal burn complaint set firefighters on the trot to a home, where they found its owner out back burning pieces of an old fence. When the fire was out, firefighters let that home owner know about proper burning materials and procedures for requesting a burn permit.

Sept. 16Accident: 6:21 p.m., (Pacific). Fire-fighters responded to a two-car ac-cident and transported one man with minor injuries to MAMC for further evaluation.

Sept. 17 Aid call: 8:03 a.m., (Auburn). Fire-fighters treated a man all over for pain and weakness, and a private ambu-lance him to a local area hospital.

Sept. 18Aid call: 12:34 p.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters treated a woman who had suffered a seizure, and a private ambulance transported her to a local hospital.

Sept. 20 Dryer fire: 11:45 a.m., (Pacific). Firefighters responding to a reported dryer fire at Rainier Vista found the first floor charged with smoke and a dryer fire in the laundry room on the first floor. The building was evacuated and the crew’s quick attack on the fire kept it contained to the dryer. Firefighters ventilated the first floor with positive pressure fans to remove smoke.

So, when the would-be shoplifter exited the store without having paid for any of the stuff, security officers were ready and waiting outside. When the guy saw them, sure, he tried to skedaddle, but store security was more than a match for him on foot and in the wrestling phase. To shorten the tale, the store got its stuff back, and the guy ended up with a scrape on his head, a warning to stay out of the store for seven years or go to jail, and a ride to the slammer.

Barktoberfest, Rover Romp to invade park

Family Dog Training Center

All dog owners know barking is a form of ca-nine communication.

A few barks here and there are tolerated by most owners, but when, and how, can you stop excessive barking?

Barking at home:If Fido’s barking for

attention, think redirec-tion. Give him a chew bone or interactive toy. If he’s young and energetic, it may be time for a vigor-ous play session.

If the barking is directed at someone or something outside the window or fence, there are two options:

Work through the behavior by asking friends to help you with choreo-graphed training sessions, or eliminate the dog’s ability to see and hear whatever’s causing the barking.

With training and consistency, most dogs can learn to ignore what’s going on outside their home and yard.

Barking at strangers: If a visitor comes to

your home, your dog should be accepting and tolerant. Teach your dog that one or two barks when the doorbell rings are acceptable (if they are in your household), and reward with quiet praise.

After that, tell your dog to “sit” and use a com-mand such as “quiet” to advise your dog that barking is no longer per-mitted. Reward a quiet, sitting dog with treats.

Redirect and discour-age ongoing barking with techniques that are appro-priate for your particular dog, such as a spray of water from a plant mister bottle or the startling sound of a plastic shaker bottle.

The key is to remain

calm. Owners who sound excited and repeat com-mands inadvertently en-courage barking through their words and actions.

Fearful barking: Dogs with calm and

confident pack leaders will learn by example. Never force a dog to deal with more than he can handle. Use slow desensi-tization techniques to help the dog learn that there’s no reason to be afraid of a person, place or situation.

Treats are often a good way to change the subject, especially if the scary stranger ultimately be-comes synonymous with yummy food.

Professional guidance:Sometimes barking

issues are more severe and resolution requires the as-sistance of an experienced trainer or veterinarian specializing in behavior modification and problem solving.

What’s all the barking about? There’re ways to teach your dog

BARK FOR LIFE OF AUBURN, a benefit run/walk, is Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Sunset Park in Lakeland Hills, 69th St. SE, Auburn. Join the noncompetitive walk event for all the Fidos out there, their owners and friends to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society’s fight against the disease. The day includes demonstrations, contests and games. Register your dog at main.acsevents.org.

I hit the snooze but-ton way too often.

Last week I’m pretty sure my average times for resetting my alarm to a later time was six. Each morning I would wake up six times to reset my alarm, just to get five more minutes of sleep each time. That’s insane.

Sleep is important. Obvi-ously. I think we all know that. But so many adults these days don’t get enough quality sleep.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention, 30 percent of adults reported getting less than or

equal to six hours of sleep per day between 2005-2007.

The CDC also states insufficient sleep is related to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, depression and obesity.

But with the crazy busy go-go-go lives that most of us lead, it’s hard to get that required 7-8 hours every night.

Why is it so hard? Our brains are stimulated so much by our daily lives and what we need to get done that

it’s nearly impossible for us to shut everything down in a timely manner to actually fall asleep, stay there, and feel well rested enough to wake up on time.

Recently, I’ve made a few small changes that have greatly helped me gain control of my sleeping patterns. As a result, I find I’m way more productive, alert and willing to take on the day.

Vigorous vote expected in campaign ‘16

Spirited. Engaging. Tight. It’s what to expect in an election year as

candidates pursue big, powerful seats in office.

Secretary of State Kim Wyman knows as much.

The state’s chief elections officer and her staff have been busy behind the scenes, pre-paring the stage for voters in what promises to be an interesting and contentious 2016 campaign, nationally and locally.

Historically, turnout is high when an open-seat U.S. presidency is up for grabs. In

Washington, a probable two-horse race between the Democratic incum-bent, Gov. Jay Inslee, and Republican challenger Bill Bryant, should stoke a strong statewide vote.

“We’re going to see a huge year across the

board,” said Wyman, on a visit to the Re-porter office in Kent last week. “We expect a record-breaking turnout, which is exciting.”

But Wyman, a Republican who will be busy seeking reelection next year, is reluctant to endorse anyone right now.

For voters, the Republican race remains too cluttered, the Democratic race too tenta-tive.

“I’ve got a couple of front-runners (in mind), but it’s still too early,” Wyman said.

“Keep in mind, people, we’re four or five months out from (the) Iowa (Caucuses). It’s still early. … A lot’s going to happen between now and say, June.”

Between now and then, Wyman’s office will work to get the vote out, with the em-phasis on reaching the underserved masses, namely military personnel overseas, the minority language communities and those with special needs.

It’s a challenging process, but one Wyman’s office has improved in recent elections.

One thing that won’t change next year, however, is the positioning of the state primary.

Great music to fill new venue

Our wonderful Auburn Symphony Orchestra will be opening the remodeled Performing Arts Center in Auburn on Oct. 11.

I can’t wait to see the reno-vation and to hear once again the incredible music that this orchestra performs.

As usual, conductor Stuart Kershaw has gathered out-standing musicians, most of whom play in the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra and other orchestras around the Sound. And he has created a musical feast for the ears – Shubert, Saint-Saëns, Mozart, Bizet and even a little Brubeck.

I hope we can pack the place for this beginning of the musi-cal season.

Most South Sounders don’t seem to realize what a gem this orchestra is.– Elaine Swigart

Reichert’s rule of law injustice

Three times last week, more this week, likely even more next week. Congressman Dave Reichert has at every opportunity voted to set aside the rule of law and vote with

conscience.I speak, of course, of

Planned Parenthood funding. Now, this is not about whether you are pro-life or pro-choice. It is about the dogma of poten-tially shutting the government down for the second time in three years – this time on unproven and uninvestigated allegations.

In response to a letter to Reichert, he stated: “As a former Sheriff, and now as a member of Congress. … Just as I spent my career as a cop upholding the laws of our communities, I have the same responsibility as your repre-sentative in Congress, and that is why as more informa-tion about the videos and Planned Parenthood’s practices becomes available, I will care-fully review the facts to ensure our federal laws have not been violated.”

your ever-connected-to-the-web device that I know sits right by your pillow. The blue light from your phone stimulates your brain so you can’t actually fall asleep in a timely manner. If I’m laying in bed and my phone goes off and I “need” to check it, I turn on the lamp that sits next to my bed so I’m not over-stimulated by the bright light of my phone that is directly in my face.

2. Open your shades at nightI’m guessing you go to sleep

when it’s dark outside, right? Like most normal humans. So, when you go to bed, leave your curtains open. I’ve found the more gentle light of the sun (my bedroom faces west) helps me wake up easier and, more im-portant, in-between REM (rapid eye movement) cycles. If I’m in a deep sleep, the sun usually won’t wake me up, but during my light sleep, it does.

3. No caffeine right before bedI think that’s a given, right? Do I

need to explain this? Nah, I think you got it.

4. Make a to-do listChances are one of the things

that blocks you from going to sleep quickly is the list of things running through your head that you need to get done the next day. So, spend 10 minutes right before bed (with the light on) to make your to-do list for the next day. I try to do this, but it doesn’t always happen. The important part, though, is that you TRY.

I use an app called SplenDO (Android). But tons of people I know swear by Google Keep. If you’re struggling figuring out how to make a killer to-do list that

will keep you organized, I would recommend diving into this free 30-day challenge by Chalene John-son. I’m about half way through it and it has helped me immensely to get organized in a lot of aspects of my life. Although, I will always be a work-in-progress with organiza-tion.

5. Establish a night-time ritualWrite a few things down that

you always have to do before you go to sleep – brush your teeth, take a shower (if you take showers in the p.m.), get tomorrow’s outfit ready (if you do this every night,

you are my hero), write your to-do list, etc. – and do it every … single … night … until it becomes a habit. It might take a while for it to stick, but the ritual will help bring your mind some calmness and let it shut off in those few minutes that you’re doing all of these activities.

Now, get off the Internet and start implementing some (or all) of these things into your life.

Happy sleeping.Reach Rebecca Gourley, of the

Covington Reporter, at [email protected] or 425-432-1209, ext. 5052.

The primary – funded in the new state budget with bipartisan support – is scheduled for May 24 as an all-mail election. Ballots will go out nearly three weeks ahead of time.

Democratic Party rep-resentatives, announcing their state committee will stick with the caucus/con-vention process to allocate their delegates, blocked Wyman’s attempt to move the primary to an earlier date in March.

Democrats saw no reason to move the date earlier on the election calendar,

Wyman said. They remain steadfast, she said, deciding they will not use votes cast in the presidential primary for their nominat-ing process. Their caucuses are March 26.

But Wyman is pleased with the state Republicans’ recent decision to use the presidential primary to allocate all their delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next July.

Republicans will also hold precinct caucuses on Feb. 20, and county conven-

tions in March and April.

“This is a big win for the voters of Washington,” Wyman insisted. “For months, I have been urging both parties to use the presidential

primary results.”The presidential primary

was created as a citizen initiative to the Legislature back in 1989.

“The old caucus system run by the parties isn’t as convenient or effective in engaging voters as a statewide election for four million registered voters,”

Wyman said. “Our main goal should be giving a voice to the broadest pos-sible swath of the elector-ate.”

As Wyman sees it, voters win with the more inclusive primary election. From her perspective, the election is meaningful, and much more tangible than a poll or survey.

“This isn’t about the par-ties; this is about voters and giving them a voice to vote in a way that they are used to in an election,” she said. “It does mean something.

“What the parties do with the results is a second-ary thing. What matters is

that people have a voice.”

‘Beauty contest’Skeptics claim the

primary – which many deride as an $11.5 million beauty contest – won’t have much affect on how voters here choose a presidential nominee.

Wyman urged lawmakers to require the parties to – at least partially – consider results before funding the election, but her request was ignored. Instead, law-makers funded the election with no mandate that it actually count for some-thing – anything.

But the May primary stuck.

Wyman is optimistic the primary will be relevant late into the campaign season. Combined with late prima-ries in California, Oregon and Washington, there may be a greater probability of candidates visiting our state and talking to voters, Wyman said.

“We could have a couple of candidates on both sides still in play by May,” she said. “I know we have a his-tory by May that it’s already decided. … I don’t think you can make that assump-tion about ’16. I could be wrong.”

Well, the investigations have hardly be-gun, yet Reichert with his law background and legislative responsibility has decided to align himself with the ready-fire-aim mob rule; discarding his own statement to the contrary.

That’s right, these are as yet unproven allegations. Are they pervasive? Well, we know that the Kent clinic in Reichert’s own district does not perform abortions – yet he still votes to eliminate the entirety of federal funding for all PP clinics. So, we should persecute all clinics over the allega-tions against, at best, a few.

Brock Snyder, the lay minister from Enumclaw who this April suggested the City of Auburn sup-port or even start a home-less encampment inside city limits, came to City Hall on Monday evening to take up the homeless cause once more, and to dispel what he said were common misconceptions about them.

“Please acknowledge there are homeless people in the city that can be helped,” Snyder began. “I know when you hear about a tent city or an encampment it freaks people out. … I know a lot of people think ‘drug users, abusers and crimi-nals’, but actually a tent city encampment doesn’t allow that sort of activity

to happen.”No, Snyder said, anyone

who lives in such an en-campment has to survive a background check for warrants and to deter-mine whether they are sexual offenders. No alco-hol or drugs are allowed inside, though people can smoke cigarettes.

“A homeless encamp-ment or tent city is not a handout; it’s a hand-up for these people,” Snyder said. “These are not people running from the law; they are wanting to change their lives. They need some sort of stability in their lives. They need a place to sleep safely, to leave their things, to go off to work, maybe go off to school to enrich their lives and change their lives and become citizens.”

Diana Sandusky told council members she

has lived and worked in Auburn for 15 years, most of them happily. But she cited the rising number of homeless people as among the changes that have dampened her en-thusiasm for being here.

“In the last few years I have noticed a change in the city, and I have concerns about them,” Sandusky said, singling out “homeless transient individuals,” and the proliferation of “graffiti on buildings and fences.

“This is where I live and work, so this is where I shop. … A lot of us have fear, concern, and we don’t know what to do by ourselves. I know it’s go-ing to take everybody in the community together to make it a happy, safe community,” Sandusky said.

church at 100 N Street Southeast, which was built in 1963 upon the congrega-tion’s move from its second home near the site of the current Merrill Gardens construction on South Division Street.

For every one of its 150 years, the First United Methodist Church has been an active, vital part of the community.

A sampling of the con-gregation reads a bit like a who’s who of Auburn’s movers and shakers. Here are board members of ACAP Child and Family Services, board members of the Auburn Food Bank, present Councilman John Holman, former Mayor Chuck Booth and many educators, including former Auburn School District Su-perintendent James Fugate.

“It’s really surprising, that when you look around our congregation members, we have a lot of people who have fingers out into

all aspects of the Auburn community,” said Church Secretary Kim Baker.

“I’m always impressed when we start asking people what other organizations they are part of, how many people stand up,” added Crystal Goetz, Christian education and family life ministries director at the church.

Today, First United Methodist supports a number of youth organiza-tions, among them the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H and Campfire.

Every Monday evening for the last 20 years, it has been the site of the popular Auburn Food Bank-spon-sored Community Supper. As a complement to the program, a medical van rolls in every other week, providing free health care for people who otherwise could not afford it.

ACAP Child and Fam-ily Services, which was founded at the church in the 1960s, is now back at the roost.

Every Christmas, the church is the site of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots. The Corps collects the toys and brings them to distribution centers like the Auburn church and the DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) offices, where they are given as holiday gifts to needy children in the community. The DSHS makes a list of clients on public assistance who are active, pending or recently closed and provides that list to Toys for Tots. The Auburn church got involved five ago after DSHS asked if it would be willing to host a distribu-tion.

From 4:30 to 6 p.m. Oct. 25, as it does every year, the church will hold its Trunk or Treat event in the park-ing lot, letting local kids garner their goodies from the decorated and candy-stuffed trunks of vehicles.

It is among the few churches in Auburn that still has a church organ, and an organist to play it.

There’s vacation Bible School in the summer, and there are evening Bible studies.

On Sundays it offers the classic worship service, Sunday School, and finally a modern worship service that brings a more relaxed style with a band-leading program.

It also provides for the emergency needs of strug-

gling families.From 1 to 4:30 p.m.,

Oct. 10 the church plans to celebrate every single one the candles on its cake by offering the community a self-guided tour of its his-tory, in images displayed throughout the building. Videos, photos, entertain-ment and artifacts and opportunities to chat with church members will be

part of the event.A reservation-only din-

ner is at 5 p.m. after the open house, providing a delicious dinner, music, entertainment, and guest speakers. The cost is $10 per seat, and RSVPs must be made by Thursday, Oct. 1.

Green River College student fights fires in Eastern WashingtonBY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

Keith Beasley of Renton started his sophomore year at Green River College on Monday knowing that he had made a difference this summer fighting fires in Eastern Washington.

The 21-year-old specialist in the Washington National Guard spent 25 days in August and September as a squad boss of 24 soldiers on the front lines of the Lake Chelan complex fire. Last summer, Beasley was in Eastern Washington for three weeks fighting the fires, which gave him the experience to be in a supervisory role this year.

“I want to help people,” Beasley said of his motivation to volun-teer to fight the fires. “That was the main thing, just help people. I wanted to step up and do some-thing big. I figured this is my opportunity.”

Beasley shared his experience with about 200 incoming students at Green River’s Welcome Day on Sept. 17 and then again at the college’s Board of Trustees meeting

later that day. After his introduc-tion, board and meeting attendees gave Beasley a standing ovation.

I didn’t expect that,” Beasley said of the acknowledgment. “I did not expect that at all. I thought I was just a guy just doing his job. I didn’t know they saw it as someone being a hero.”

Beasley joined the National Guard at his father’s suggestion af-ter he graduated from Hazen High School in Renton in 2013.

“He (Beasley’s father) said, ‘It is a good benefit. Instead of going to school, why not serve at the same time and help people?’” Beasley recalled.

After attending bootcamp at Fort Benning, Ga., Beasley enrolled at Green River College, where he is now a two-sport athlete, compet-ing in cross country and track.

“That wasn’t the plan at first,” Beasley said. “When I was in basic training people noticed I can run.”

Beasley, who ran track and cross country in high school, was en-couraged to get a track scholarship and run at the college level.

“I took their advice and decided to go to Green River, since it is the closest school that has a track program.”

Beasley missed the start of the cross country season while he was in Eastern Washington, but he said fighting the fires helped him stay in shape.

“They gave us heavy boots and packs to carry,” he said. “We did a lot of walking. We had to walk in the sand and in the dirt at 3,500 feet. It keeps you in good shape.”

Beasley said if given the oppor-tunity, he would like to run track or cross country at a four-year school. He said he plans to graduate with an associate degree from Green River in the spring and would like to transfer to the University of Washington to study communications.

Beasley said he has enjoyed his time at Green River College, especially the chance to meet new people.

“In order to change yourself, you have to change your surroundings and meet people you haven’t met before,” he said.

Lobster papardelle, linguini puta di mare, spaghetti and meatballs, la-sagna and steak dishes like bistecca alla Fiorentina.

All the dishes authentic, meticulously created from recipes belonging to Er-nesto Nardone’s mother and his late grandmother.

But two years after the Nardone family opened

Don Giovanni’s Ristorante Italiano and Wine Bar at 18 Auburn Way South, it has sold.

Family members made the announcement in their business’ e-mail newsletter Monday morning.

“We have enjoyed serving you for the last two years. We have made the difficult decision to sell our busi-ness,” the family wrote.“We have enjoyed making some

of our finest family recipes and sharing memories with all of you. We hope you feel comfortable enough to reach out with any ques-tions or just requests to touch base.”

No information was provided as to why, though customers with whom the Auburn Reporter has spo-

ken have consistently cited high prices.

No information was offered about the buyer, but Nardone has told his employees he expects to close up by Sept. 30.

The site that had been occupied by Ristorante Auguri and prior to that Flapper Alley underwent extensive remodeling before its spring 2013 opening to give it the feel of old Tuscan

villas with arches and all travertine flooring with tuscany tile.

The Auburn Reporter was unable to reach the family, but Ernesto Nar-done explained in 2013 why his family chose to open its second restaurant, in Auburn.

“Auburn was our choice because, number one, we have friend of ours named Al Rossi here, a good family

friend of ours, and he told us, ‘Hey, you guys, you wannna open up another one?’ ‘Cause we already have a restaurant in Is-saquah called Montalcino, which my brother runs. Al suggested we open a restau-rant here because people weren’t too happy with Auguri’s, and Auguri gave us an option to buy, and we bought it from him,” Ernesto said.

instructor Mark Millbauer, who recently accepted a buyout from the college to end his employment after college officials in July, citing low enrollment and a budget shortfall, cut the auto body program.

Millbauer, who served as president of United Faculty, the faculty union, addressed the board before he turned the floor over to the new union president, Jaeney Hoene.

“Today when I came to realize I was going to have this opportunity (to address the board) tonight, I thought about what does one say to their employer upon being dismissed,” said Millbauer, who worked at the college for 22 years.

“As I thought about that, I realized it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what I think. It doesn’t matter what I say. And therein lies the problem with Green River Community College. I think the signs on the wall back there (express-ing faculty’s frustration) are just a teeny bit of the evidence of the atmosphere of … malaise, low morale, distress and unrest. And it has been going on for about five years.

“You as a board always have, and you do have, the power to change that. You and only you. You have not done that at this point. ... You have a lot of challenges to face, and if you rise up to those challenges, you can change the atmosphere of this college.”

Some faculty members held up black-and-white pictures of Millbauer as he spoke or at any mention of the new trades building, which would have housed the auto body program in addition to other trades programs.

Tension on campus has been high ever since late April when the college announced the potential elimination of auto body and three other programs. Parent-child education and carpentry were spared when faculty came forward with cost-saving measures. Geographic information systems was also cut owing to low enrollment, but in-structor Sabah Jabbouri will remain at the college as he teaches out the program for students already enrolled.

Millbauer said he was ap-palled by the decision to cut the auto body program, just as the new trades building was slated to open.

“It was a gross waste of tax

payer dollars that went into designing the perfect auto body training facility and equipping it,” Millbauer said.

Four other trades pro-grams use the facility, and college officials have said they will insert another trades program into the space that the auto body program was to have used.

Faculty claim that the cuts targeted Millbauer. Faculty and college rep-resentatives have been in contract negotiations for more than a year.

In May, faculty filed an Unfair Labor Practice com-plaint with the Washington State Public Employees

Relations Commission. The complaint was with-drawn Sept. 14 as part of the agreement reached in Millbauer’s buyout.

Neither college officials nor Millbauer would dis-close details of the buyout, citing a confidentiality agreement.

“We came to a very satisfactory agreement,” Millbauer said.

In her first report to the board as union president, Hoene expressed her frus-tration with the board.

“Your lack of seriousness, your lack of abdication, your lack of scrutiny has allowed this and other acts of egre-gious mismanagement to persist at this college, despite attempts by employee groups and students to alert you to the serious problems plagu-ing our institution,” Hoene told the board. “The presi-dent of the college answers only to you, who she refers to as ‘her board.’ You are the college’s Board of Trustees. You are entrusted with hold-ing the president accountable where others cannot.”

Faculty presented the board with two votes of no confidence in college president Eileen Ely, one in 2013 and one earlier this year. The board has stated it stands behind Ely.

“I will not address you as trustees,” Hoene told the board. “If you ever had my trust, you have lost it. Like me, a majority of faculty here has lost faith in your willingness to meaningfully take on the serious business of this college, the foremost

of which for you is the evaluation and oversight of the president.”

Hoene said the faculty decided to implement its own evaluation system for Ely, which will be con-ducted similarly to student evaluations of faculty.

“We consider this a criti-cal service to our member-ship and to the college itself, which deserves an honest, fair and thorough assessment of its leader-ship,” Hoene said. “I regret we had to take this step, but we saw no other alternative until such a time as you un-dertake to fulfill your duties as a Board of Trustees.”

Hoene ended her report to the board by stressing that faculty will not step down on this issue.

“And to be clear, you may believe that in removing Mark you have silenced this faculty, but me let me clear that where Mark once stood, the rest of have risen,” she said as faculty members stood up behind her.

Faculty concerns about prioritization

Despite the recent cuts, college officials anticipate additional cuts in the next year, as enrollment declines and the state changes the funding allocation for col-leges.

The college announced earlier this year that it would implement a new program prioritization process to identify areas where cuts can be made in three areas - instructional

services, student services and institutional support on campus.

Leslie Kessler, Instruc-tional Council chairwoman, shared faculty concerns with the new process dur-ing the board meeting.

“It seems to be an evaluation and ranking of programs with the end result being the elimination of programs and faulty and people in different depart-ments rather than being a process where we look at how to improve programs and to use the resources we have to help those areas that maybe aren’t doing as well,” Kessler said.

Kessler said faculty members are concerned the proposed time frame for the evaluation process is too short.

“We have found evidence that supports our feeling that six months is just not adequate to do a thorough job,” she said. “Most col-leges, the ones we have looked at, have spent at least a year, and some have spent two years to complete this process.”

Kessler said she and other faculty would like the college to take the time to do things correctly.

“Let’s use the expertise of the faculty, staff and adminis-trators on campus and make it a collaborative, collegial process that brings people together rather than pitting one program against another, which is a big concern of the faculty. And that is what we see this as, that you are competing against each other to not be in the fifth quintile, which you know you are in trouble if you are in that one,” Kessler said.

Ely responded during the president’s report later in the meeting.

“When you look at his new program it will involve people, Ely said. “I hope that faculty realize because there are pillars and one of the pillars is instruction, we are looking at faculty being intri-cately involved in identifying how that criteria is measured. It’s not that we are pitting one program against another; it’s that we are looking at the programs and doing program assessment.”

GETTING AROUND

Opening 17 miles of express toll lanes on I-405 between Lynnwood and Bellevue is a step to reducing congestion on the Eastside. The long-term vision includes a 40-mile express toll lane system between SR 167 at the Pierce/King County line and the I-405/I-5 interchange in Lynnwood. COURTESY MAP, WSDOT

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Starting Sunday, a 17-mile stretch of Interstate 405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood will join State Route 167 southward from Renton as two freeways where motorists can pay a toll to speed them on their way.

To get ready for the launch, starting Friday the state Department of Transportation will close two lanes in both direc-tions of I-405 between Bellevue and Bothell to finish striping the lanes.

Toll rates set by the Washington State Transportation Com-mission will adjust based on traffic congestion to keep the express toll lanes moving at 45 mph or faster.

The SR 167 HOT lanes – the state’s first-ever, high-occupancy toll lanes using the Good

To Go! pass – opened in May 2008 between Renton and Auburn as a pilot project to test whether variable tolling will make state roads more efficient and less congested.

Any existing Good To Go! pass will work to pay a toll in the express toll lanes on I-405, but only a Flex Pass will allow three-person carpools to declare HOV status and ride toll-free, according to the transportation department.

The toll minimum is 75 cents and the maximum is $10, though 90 percent of tolls will be less than $4, accord-ing to transportation officials.

“We need to be serious with our drivers,” said Craig Stone, the assistant secretary for the trans-portation department’s Tolling Division,

Information about purchasing a Good To Go pass or a free Flex Pass is available online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Tolling/405. If drivers don’t qualify for a free Flex Pass, they can still buy one for $15 at Good-ToGo.com or by calling 1-866-936-8246

State transportation of-ficials are urging motorists to use alternative routes to I-405 this weekend to avoid the striping project and the expected congestion.

“Nearly a quarter of a million people use I-405 every weekend, and we need every one of them to plan ahead before they get on the road,” said Lisa Hodgson, the transporta-tion department I-405 project engineer, in a news release.

“Whether they’re headed to a game at Husky Stadium or CenturyLink Field, driv-ers should plan for delays and use alternate routes to make sure they arrive before kickoff,” she said.

The closures of two lanes in each direction start at 11 p.m. Friday between I-90 in Bellevue and Northeast 195th in Bothell. The closures are expected to end at noon Sunday and the express-toll lanes will activate.

Here are the details:• All Northeast 6th direct

access ramps will be closed.

• All Northeast 128th direct access ramps will be closed.

• During late evening and early morning hours, I-405 may be reduced to one lane in each direction at SR 520 and SR 522.

• Drivers should plan ahead or reschedule trips to

avoid delays.The striping work is

weather dependent; a delay would affect Sunday’s opening of the express toll lanes. The latest informa-tion is available at the I-405 construction updates page, tinyurl.com/68bzjsf.

HOT VS. ETLHere are the differences between the new Interstate 405 express-toll lanes and the SR 167 HOT lanes, as explained by the Washington State Department of Transportation.

• Carpool requirements: On SR 167 vehicles must have two people to use the HOT lane toll free. The I-405 express toll lanes require three occupants during peak periods from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and two-person carpools will be allowed to use the lanes toll-free at other times.• Photo-tolling: SR 167 solo drivers must have a Good To Go! pass to use the HOT lanes – we can’t take a photo of the license plate so we can’t mail them a toll bill. On I-405 express toll lanes, anyone will be able to pay a toll to use the new I-405 express toll lanes. Just like SR 520, if they don’t have an account, we will take a photo of their license plate and send them a bill in the mail.• Passes: SR 167 carpools don’t need a Good To Go! pass to travel toll-free in the HOT lane. To ride toll free in the I-405 express toll lanes, carpools must have a Good to Go! Flex Pass in HOV mode and an active Good To Go! account. The Flex Pass is the only pass a driver will need because it works to pay the toll on all facilities and will allow carpools to ride free in the express toll lanes and the HOT

Lanes. Customers who request or purchase a Flex Pass should reg-ister the pass with an existing or new Good To Go! account, remove their old pass from the windshield and they will be Good To Go!If you are an existing Good To Go! customer with a switchable pass, which was offered for carpooling on SR 167 HOT lanes, you can get a free upgrade to a Flex Pass. The switchable pass was designed with an on-and-off switch for the SR 167 HOT lanes. While it will work to pay the toll in the express toll lanes, it will not provide a free trip for carpoolers in OFF mode.

Machinists raise $12,000 for charity with go-kart raceFOR THE REPORTER

Machinists Union members raised more than $12,000 for charity with a recent go-kart race at PGP Motorsports Park at Pacific Raceways in Kent.

The Sept. 12 event, sponsored by Machinists Union Local Lodge 751-F, featured 17 teams of four drivers who hit speeds up to 50 mph as they circled

the course for two hours.“Our Karting Challenge is

always a fun event, thanks to our volunteers, our sponsors and the folks at Pacific Race-ways who help us put it on,” said Local 751-F President Robley Evans. “We had good weather and a great time, and raised a lot of money for a really great charity.”

All proceeds will support to Guide Dogs of America, a California-based charity

that provides service dogs and training in their use to people who are blind or have impaired vision from throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Local 751-F is affiliated with Machinists Union District Lodge 751, which is the No. 1 fundraiser for Guide Dogs of America. Over the past six years, the union has raised nearly $1.8 million for the charity.

New coach directs Lions’ showBY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Recognizing a great opportunity, Bryan Winkler seized it.

A high school soccer coach for 36 years, Winkler stepped away from the game temporarily but decided to give the pitch another try – this time at Auburn Mountainview.

“I initially said no … but they kept knocking on the door, and I think I threw my application in with about 15 minutes left,” Winkler said of the girls program opening. “A friend recom-mended me for the job here. … It’s a great opportunity to teach the game, and it has a great support system.”

Winkler, who starred at Capital of Olympia in the ’80s before playing for The Evergreen State College, most recently coached at Tumwater.

Winkler follows Cary Davidson, who started the girls program at Auburn Mountainview when the school opened 10 years ago. David-son stepped down after amassing a 111-54-14 record with two South Puget Sound League 3A champion-

ships, eight playoff appearances and four trips to state.

Winkler inherits a solid program.“Great kids, very supportive ad-

ministration, which you have to have to help a program continue to do what it’s been doing,” Winkler said.

“Coach Davidson did a great job.”

Winkler hopes

to continue the winning tradition with a different approach to the Lions, who return a good mix of returning seniors and young talent.

“He’s actually brought in new ideas and a good atmosphere to the team,” said Holly Hytrek, a 6-foot junior goalie. “He also let’s us have a say in what we are doing, instead of

Local talent fuels Ravens’ junior hockeyBY HEIDI SANDERS

[email protected]

The Seattle Ravens, a new U.S. junior hockey team in Kent, gives lo-cal players a chance to improve their skills by playing at a higher level.

Andrew Bell, 15, of Auburn, and Ben Lehfeldt-Ehlinger, 18, of Renton, are grateful for the opportunity to play.

“For me to play lo-cally is a huge thing,” said Lehfeldt-Ehlinger, a senior at Lindbergh High School. “I know I could have gone other places and played and done fairly well, but for me it is the friend group (here), and I love Seattle.”

For Bell, leaving the area to play isn’t really an option right now.

“I’m 15,” said Bell, a student at Auburn Riv-erside. “My parents are not going to send me away. It isn’t going to happen. There aren’t too many options to play this high of level locally.”

They fought visiting Bonney Lake evenly until Kelsey Lund’s goal in the 71st minute turned back the Lions 1-0 in a league play last Friday.

The Lions (1-2 league, 1-4 overall) broke through, posting their first win on Tuesday night, 5-2 over Peninsula. Ellie Ness had a pair of goals to lead the Lions past the Seahawks at Gig Harbor. Greve, Chloe Baquian and Maddi Tandberg also scored for the Lions, with assists from Leanna Harris, Katherine Setera and Emily Cookston.

Tandberg (junior), Har-ris (senior) and Baquian (sophomore) are among the key returners for the Lions.

also has a pair of sopho-more strikers in Sydney Carter and Lily Lavine. Avery Grant is back in ac-tion after recovering from ACL surgery.

“We have fantastic team chemistry,” Winkler said. “These kids really support each other. … We’re having a great time working together in efforts to play our best soccer, one game at a time.”

ElsewhereAuburn Riverside is off to a

4-1 start under coach Paul Lewis. The Ravens, who fin-ished second in the league race at 14-3 a season ago, are a young but talented bunch.

Key returners are: Izzy Creighton (senior forward); Moesha Parker (senior de-fender, first-team all-league performer in 2014, sat out last season); Abby Gooch (senior midfielder); Victo-ria Kendall (junior forward, injured most of last year); Hannah Schatz (junior defender); Taylor Smith (sophomore defender, first-

team all-league performer); and McKenna Boulet (sophomore midfielder).

Top newcomers include freshmen Talia Samuelson, Kylie Runsvold and Natalie Lake, and junior goalkeep-ers Katelyn Brown and Natalie Raum.

Creighton scored one goal and assisted on an-other as Auburn Riverside defeated rival Auburn 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Cierra Enlo, Smith and Schatz also scored for the Ravens (3-0 league). Runsvold and Jhordin Prescott each had an assist.

“This is the youngest group that I have ever had. This translates to a lot of energy and excite-ment,” said Wells, who has compiled a 95-53-28 record in 10 seasons at the school. “This team should improve every minute they spend on the field. This is a very strong defensive group … with speedy outside backs. … This team has the talent to compete for the league title and should be in the playoff hunt. Look for the

best out of this team in the second half of the year.” …

At Auburn, coach Chance Darling’s young Trojans continue to rebuild. Auburn lost four players to gradu-ation from last season’s 8-8 team, including Makayla Sonstelie, the SPSL 3A Offensive Most Valuable Player, who now plays at Seattle Pacific University.

The Trojans will turn to seniors Lucky Backus, McK-enna Robinson and Dani Mae Hutson, junior Anna Ybarra, and sophomores Hailey Sue Hunsaker and Jordan Blosser. Freshmen Francis Morrow and Kayli Koonce are top newcomers.

“We have a huge upside and continue to improve and grow every day,” Dar-ling said. “Although we, of course, are trying to win games now, we are intensely focused on the long-term growth of the program, and the byproduct of hard work and dedication to that task will be winning.”

About two-thirds of the Ravens roster is composed of local talent, said Ravens gen-eral manager Adam Speer.

“They come from every-where, from Puyallup to Seattle, Issaquah to North Bend,” Speer said. “They are really some of the best young players that grew up in our region.”

The Ravens take to the ice Friday for their opening game against the Eugene Generals at the Kent Valley Ice Centre, 6015 S. 240th St. The Ravens face the Gener-als again on Saturday. Both games start at 6:35 p.m.

Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students and se-niors and may be purchased at the door. Food and beverages will be sold at the On the Edge Cafe.

“This is a great, afford-able family night out,” Speer said.

Following the games, there will be a public skat-ing session, and several Ravens players will skate with their fans.

“Fans can get a chance to get to know them,” Speer said.

Speer said his team is ready for its first regular-season game. The Ravens beat the West Sound War-riors in Bremerton last Sat-urday night in a preseason matchup.

“The talent that we have should be very strong in the league, so we are looking forward to getting things going,” Speer said.

The Ravens are one of seven Northern Pacific Hockey League (NPHL) teams throughout Washing-ton and Oregon.

Lehfeldt-Ehlinger said the team is excited about the first game.

“I think the nerves will set in probably minutes before the game,” he said. “Right now we are not too worried about it.”

Lehfeldt-Ehlinger and Bell started skating and showing an interest in hockey at age 3.

“My older brother started playing and my parents would bring me to games, and I guess when I was 3 I could tell that I liked it so I strapped on the skates and took it up,” Lehfeldt-Ehlinger said.

When Lehfeldt-Ehlinger moved to the Seattle area from Indiana two years ago, he met Speer, who told him about the Ravens.

The Kent Valley Ice Centre has been Bell’s home throughout his hockey ca-reer. He played club hockey under Ravens coach Danny Lorenz.

“For the past few years,

Adam and Danny have talked about starting a junior team here, and it started to become a reality when our core group at Kent started getting older,” Bell said.

The Ravens is a develop-mental team similar to the

Seattle Thunder-birds but at a lower level. The NPHL is a Tier III league in U.S. junior hockey. The Thunderbirds play at the ShoWare Center and in the Western Hockey

League, a part of the major junior level of the Cana-

dian Hockey League, or the equivalent of Tier I U.S. junior hockey.

Tier III hockey is geared toward younger players who hope to develop their skills to go on to play at the college level or at a higher tier in the junior hockey system.

Lehfeldt-Ehlinger, a defenseman, hopes to play

collegiately after his stint with the Ravens.

Bell, a forward, wants to work his way through the junior hockey ranks,

“I would like to go play some junior hockey in Can-ada, B.C.,” he said. “I have some relatives up there.”

But for now, both young men are focused on making

the Ravens first season a success.

“I think an above-.500 record would be a pretty outstanding goal,” Lehfeldt-Ehlinger said. “It will give us a benchmark of where we could line up with other teams.”
