As of today, motorists trying to get through Auburn to the Muckleshoot Casino, the White River Amphitheatre, the city of Enumclaw, Mount Rainier or

other destinations to the east must often fight their way through hor-ribly crowded Auburn streets.

During the busiest hours of the day, automobile agglutination makes that a flat-out pain.

But the new transportation package that passed out of the

state Legislature on Tuesday of-fers good news for beleaguered Auburnites.

That is, $15 million for a new Highway 18 off-ramp to bypass the aforementioned mess before joining Highway 164 past the ca-sino, and the completion of State

Route 167, which is part of the $1.5 billion Puget Sound Gateway Project.

As the largest transportation project in the state, the Gateway project plans calls for the comple-tion of not only of 167 but also SR 509.

Rep. Christopher Hurst, D-Enumclaw (31st District), has championed both projects for years, and was in a celebratory mood Tuesday. He noted that law-makers of both parties wrote and

Design team on downtown: ‘You have a lot going on that is really right’BY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Auburn’s leaders recently summoned to City Hall their three-member Main Street Urban Design Project team to hear what it has been up to lately.

That is, what have they learned in meetings, what has their research revealed, what are some of their design ideas, and what have Auburn residents had to say in all the interviews about their city’s present and future.

And the team responded with optimism.

“You have a suite of assets that really positions you for an amazing future,” said Brice Maryman, project manager and a landscape architect with SVR Design. “A lot of communities are really hungering for exactly these types of things.”

Things such as:Auburn’s proximity to

Interstate 5, State Route 167 and Highway 18, a positioning, Maryman said, that nets the city, “300,000 400,000 eyeballs going right

Auburn Police have arrested a suspect and recovered a weapon in the shooting death investiga-tion of two victims at Les Gove Park.

The suspect, a 39-year-old man, has ties to Auburn and the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area, where the victims also are be-lieved to have been from, police said.

The man and woman who were shot to death late Sunday at the popular park were considered transient, had ties to the Coeur d’Alene area and were in Auburn to work

at a Muckleshoot fire-works stand through July 4, police determined.

The 32-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were shot and killed at the park on Ninth Street Southeast near Auburn Way South around 9:29 p.m.

The victims’ names have not been released.

Police and the Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to a report of multiple gunshot victims at the park. Firefighters and King County Medic One provided life-saving

Auburn celebrated the Fourth of July with an old-fashioned, hometown celebra-tion, including a kids’ bike parade, art, live music, food and a wide variety of enter-tainment at Les Gove Park last Saturday.

Free festival activities, including games, museum ac-tivities and face painting, were part of the fun.

More than 50 craft vendors offered hand-crafted goods, from jewelry and kids’ items to fine art and candles.

Clockwise, from top: Jenna Earnhardt, 7, enjoys the tram-poline; Matt Baker balances a bowling ball on his head for his Comedy Stunt Show; and classic cars fill the park for all to see.

CONTRACTOR CREWS working for the Washington State Department of Transportation began replacing miles of worn and damaged pavement on State Route 164 between Auburn and Enumclaw this week. Crews from ICON Materials began work on the $3.9 million project to repave 5.5 miles between Hemlock Street Southeast and Southeast 408th Street. Crews will also upgrade three pedestrian crossings. The work requires daytime and nighttime lane closures during off-peak commuting hours, but drivers should still plan for delays.

An exploding firework injured two Auburn Police Officers behind the Muckleshoot Smoke Shop on the evening of July 4 as they monitored traffic overflowing from the discharge area of the Muckleshoot fireworks stands across Auburn Way South.

Auburn Police suspect the explosion may have been a deliberate act aimed at the officers, and they are looking for who did it.

According to Auburn Police Cmdr. Steve Stocker, at about 10 p.m., the two officers were behind the Smoke Shop grocery store, monitoring traffic when the firework went off right in front of them.

“One of the officers was stunned and blown backwards and momen-tarily lost his hearing. The other officer received several small burns on his body and uniform,”

said Stocker.A Bingo Hall Emer-

gency Medical Techni-cian and personnel from the Valley Regional Fire Authority were close by and immediately attended to the two in-jured officers, who were transported to Auburn Regional Medical Center, where they were treated and released.

The officers were among 25 the City had working fireworks em-phasis on July 4, specifi-cally in and around the stands.

As in years past, hundreds of people were in the area in and around the stands, buy-ing fireworks and setting them off legally in the designated discharge area. The Bingo Hall and the Muckleshoot Smoke Shop at 2155 Auburn Way South are across the street from the stands. The parking lot area around these two busi-nesses was busy with

The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 373 calls for service between June 29 and July 5, among them the following:

June 29Accident: 7 a.m., (Lakeland Hills). Having responded to a report of a car into a light pole and finding the two occupants unhurt, firefighters sum-moned employees of the City’s Public Works Department to remove the light pole. Auburn Police stayed at the scene to provide traffic control.

June 30Aid call: 11:39 p.m., (Pacific). Fire-fighters wrapped up their evaluation of a young woman with pregnancy

complications, and a private am-bulance transported her to a local hospital.

July 1 Aid call: 1:28 p.m., (Auburn). Fire-fighters treated a teenage girl who was complaining of a laceration to her scalp, and a private ambulance trans-ported her to Auburn Medical Center (MAMC) for further evaluation.

July 2 Brush fire: 5:10 p.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters from the VRFA, Mountain View Fire and Rescue, and the Kent Fire Department RFA responded to a 1.5-acre brush fire along Highway 18. Crews used multiple water tenders and fire apparatus to extinguish the blaze.

July 3Aid call: 7:41 p.m., (Pacific). After firefighters had evaluated a woman who may have suffered a seizure, a

private ambulance scooted her to a local hospital.

July 4 Rollover vehicle collision: 11:13 p.m., (Auburn). Firefighters and King County Medics responding to a three-vehicle collision with one rolled vehicle treated the man who had been driving the rolled vehicle before medics transported him to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Nobody else was hurt.

July 5 Aid call: 3:03 p.m., (South Auburn). Having responded to a baby boy who was choking and not breathing, firefighters learned that a piece of watermelon had gotten stuck in the baby’s airway. But a family member had slapped him on the back and dislodged the fruit. When firefighters discovered the boy was unhurt, they left him in good spirits with his family.

traffic as the lots were being used for over-flow parking, but the discharge of fireworks was prohibited on those lots.

“We are happy to say that both officers were released back to full duty with no last-ing injuries,” Stocker said. “The unfortunate part is that we believe that this large fire-

work was intentionally discharged towards the officers, either from a moving vehicle or someone in the parking lot on foot.”

Auburn Police are asking for help identifying who may have thrown or fired the device toward the officers. If anyone has information about this incident, they should call the Auburn Police tip line at 253-288-7403, or 911.

efforts to both victims. The man succumbed to his injuries at the scene; the woman, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in critical condi-tion with a gunshot wound to the head, and later died, authorities said.

Police said after shoot-ing the two, the assailant walked to his truck and drove off.

Around midnight Mon-day, Auburn Patrol officers came across the vehicle in south Auburn and found the suspect sleeping inside.

He was taken into custody without incident.

It appears that all of the subjects involved knew each other to some extent, said Auburn Police Cmdr. Steve Stocker.

At this time, police are not releasing a possible motive or details of what occurred leading up to the shooting since charges have not been filed. Police also are not releasing any infor-mation about the murder weapon at this time.

The truck the suspect was driving has been taken into custody and is being held, pending issuance of a search warrant. Police be-

lieve the weapon used in the crime may be in the truck.

Stocker said authorities will present the case to the prosecutor’s office this week, when charges are expected to be filed against the sus-pected shooter.

According to Stocker, po-lice officers and detectives have worked long hours, diligently followed up on leads and contacted possible witnesses. On Monday, detectives interviewed wit-nesses who were at the park during the shooting, and detectives were able to de-velop a profile of the suspect and identify the truck he was driving.

King County Sheriff John Urquhart, second from the left, gave local leaders at the recent Good Eggs Breakfast roundtable discussion the latest on issues confronting his department and law enforcement in general. Urquhart discussed with South King County leaders how important

it is for law enforcement officials to build trust within the general community. “Public safety programs work through relationships built on trust,” said King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, first from left, who hosts the breakfasts. “During these challenging times and changing attitudes toward law enforcement officers, we need to encourage our officers to be visibly involved within their communities.” Posing at the gathering are, from left: von Reichbauer; Urquhart; Federal Way Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge; and Wild Waves CEO Jeff Stock.

GOOD EGGS

A LARGE BRUSH FIRE snarled traffic on eastbound Highway 18 and threatened a residence in Auburn last Friday afternoon. Valley Regional Fire Authority firefighters were dispatched to reports of a brush fire south of the highway near Auburn Black Diamond Road at 1:39 p.m. The fire quickly grew as it moved up hill in

grass, brush and trees south of Highway 18. One resi-dence in the 1700 block of Auburn Black Diamond Road was evacuated as a precaution by Auburn Police, but was left undamaged due to the firefighting efforts. No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters. The fire ultimately grew to 20 acres before being contained.

Auburn, what happened to you?

I was raised in Auburn, spent 13 years in the Auburn School District and graduated in what I thought was a very nice community.

I left for a short time and have been back for about four years, and the nice community that I once knew is no longer here, granted there are parts of the city that may or may not have the issues that I see.

I won’t begin by say-ing that I know everyone’s problems or how to solve every issue the city is facing because I don’t.

But I do know that, as a community, we can stand up against these issues and take back this city and become the community that we once knew it to be. The issues range from roads to drug use, violence, homelessness and human traf-

ficking.What city doesn’t have these

issues? I am not as concerned about the roads so much as I am the other issues. I to-tally understand that drugs, violence, homelessness and human trafficking have been around way longer than most

of the people I know, but in recent years they have become more noticeable.

How do we, as a commu-nity, stop these things from occurring? We stand up for what is right and we tell these drug dealers and gang leaders and human traffick-ers, no more.

If you see something, then you better say something, which is the only way we can get the drugs off our streets, get the gangs out of our city, and stop people from being slaves to others.

I care too much about this community to see it lose a battle we can knowingly win. We can create a better and safer place for families to come and raise their children and grandchildren in.– Kyle Carrier

Dr. Elson Floyd leaves big shoes to fill at Washington State University.

He was just 59 when he died of colon cancer on June 20. From the day he stepped onto the WSU campus in 2007 he was determined to make big changes, and he did just that. In

his short eight years as WSU president, he pushed higher education along faster than universities are accustomed to moving.

He began by taking a page from former Gov. Gary Locke’s playbook.

In 2003, Gov. Locke (D) turned the state’s budget process upside down by establishing the

“priorities of government.” Rather than cutting programs equally across the board, Locke and Repub-lican lawmakers prioritized funding to the most vital programs. Locke learned that setting priorities is not easy, and it angers people whose programs are cut.

Floyd learned a similar lesson soon after becoming president of Washington State University.

After the Great Recession struck in 2008, state funding for higher education was eroding. No matter how hard the state’s university presi-dents lobbied the state legislature, the money simply was not there to fund all the programs the universi-ties offered. Just as Gov. Locke had earlier identified spending priorities, Floyd believed universities needed to prioritize and focus on their core mission.

Floyd took on that daunting task, which meant eliminating some

Finding the fountain of youth in music

Once upon a time a Spanish explorer named Juan Ponce de León spent a great deal of time searching what is now Florida for the fabled Fountain of Youth.

Because de León died after a poisoned arrow struck him at the age of 47 – the age I attain on Aug. 10 – I am assuming that he never found it.

Although it can hardly benefit poor de León, who has been dead for 494 years now, I have actually been successful in the quest for the Fountain of Youth.

And this past Sunday, I sipped again of its healing waters.

Now, it should be noted that I’m not speaking literally here. Don’t go searching

Western Washington for any magic fountain to keep you young. You won’t find it. If you do, however, please contact me. I’d like the scoop and maybe a sip or two.

No, friend, my fountain is not water,

it’s music, specifically live music. Even more specifically, the hard rock and heavy metal of my youth.

Coming of age in the 1980s, I was drawn to heavy metal and hard rock. As the pre-dominant genres of that time period, their appeal of distorted guitars, wailing vocals, pounding drums and high energy of bands like Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Metallica and the mighty Van Halen were undeniable.

Like many youth of the period, I clung to those bands and their ilk, grew my hair long, donned the uniform of concert T’s and jeans, all while finding real solace in the lyrics and the music when teen angst begin to over-whelm me.

I found a place to belong.Those bands became more than just music

to me. They became the soundtrack of my life, and going to live shows was, for me, akin to going to church.

While many of my peers eventually “grew up,” taking on careers and families and finding their way to the suburbs and more acceptable forms of music, like adult contem-porary and John Tesh and Yanni – you know

Unwanted fireworks rattle our neighborhood

July 4 is a wonderful and exciting celebration. Americans should be celebrating the day of our country’s birth with beautiful fireworks.

But do we need fireworks going off in residential areas, where there’s always that chance they could start a house fire? Especially with those fireworks that shoot up into the air with the possibil-ity that still-burning debris could land on rooftops and set a house on fire? This is dangerous.

This practice should be truly against the law and not be taken for granted or ignored.

Those caught breaking this law should be penalized or jailed to teach them a lesson.

On one of the streets of Lake-land Hills where I live, fireworks were lit up by a neighbor continu-ously for about an hour and a half, from 10 to 11:30 p.m., on July 4.

When the fireworks wouldn’t stop, I called 911, but I was told by the operator that there’s a “high volume of calls” regarding this matter and that my call would

“be answered in the order it was received.” And that I would “be put on hold, or I can hang up and call again.” I called four times, and each time I was put on hold. So, I finally gave up.

Lighting up fireworks had been banned in our neighborhood. And from what I understand, there is an Auburn Police officer “hired and paid for” by our HOA that continuously patrols our neighborhood. May I ask, what happened to this officer, and how come he didn’t perform one of his duties in stopping the lighting up of fireworks in our neighbor-hood?– Jesse Jose

Let’s ban the boomAt 10 p.m. on July 4, when

all the dishes are done and the barbecue food is put away, it would be nice to relax and enjoy the evening. But no. Living by the Muckleshoot Reservation means a night of terror from loud mortar shells being shot into the night sky.

In Auburn we have a law, “if it goes up and if it blows up, it is il-legal.” One would be hard pressed to find a law more blatantly ignored and violated.

In my neighborhood we are

removed a bit from the downtown core, so seldom is there a patrol to enforce this mostly unenforceable rule.

My neighbor has been shoot-ing off mortar fireworks now and then since sales began in May. There is a poof and a loud explo-sion that shakes the windows. This is a regular occurrence every year because the tribe can and does sell just about anything. And certainly there is a lot more “bang” for the buck these days.

It is akin to suffering from PTSD with the constant loud explosions. Firecrackers are small potatoes anymore. These mor-tars are “going up” and certainly “blowing up.” Each year the prod-ucts get larger and louder.

One would argue that there is not much about celebration of our country here because if we honor our country, then we obey the laws. I long for the day when fireworks no longer are allowed at all in our community. Sponsored shows done by professionals are enough fireworks for most of us.

I implore the Muckleshoot Tribe to end this yearly barrage. Honor the land you and I share, and bring back peace and quiet for good.– Nancy Schumaker

What’s up at Green River?

I find myself wondering what is going on at Green River College. We read in the paper of the pos-sibility of shutting down the auto and carpentry shops because en-rollment is down for the moment.

We also read of the instruc-tor concerns and conflict with the union that happens to have leaders from the programs with potential shutdowns.

All that has me thinking about the leadership change at the school and wondering what has changed in the vision of the future since a new president was hired. I am aware that several administra-tive positions have changed hands unexpectedly, and I wonder why. Community has been dropped from the name because, I believe, of the move to being a four-year school.

I do not object to a move to being a four-year school, but I would object to giving up the vision of the community college, one of supporting vocational education such as those programs mentioned above. I wonder if a vision change is what led to the departure of those administrators.

At this point I think the board owes it to the Auburn, Kent

and Enumclaw communities to explain what the vision now is for the school and to see if that is what those communities desire.

I feel like big changes are taking place at the school, but they are sneaking up on the community, and that should not be.

– Dan Shields

Thanks for the helpMy sincere appreciation and

thanks to the young couple and their son who helped me on the afternoon of July 3 when my car died in the traffic lane on C Street Southwest.

Lots of people passed me by, but you were the only ones to stop to try to assist me. Once my car started again, you even followed me the two miles to my house. I apologize for being so “bummed out” that I can’t remember your names.

And by the way, the problem was most likely a vapor lock. Just remove the gas cap so pressure can be released. Problem solved.

Thank you again, nice people.

programs. It was not the easy path, but it made WSU stronger. It worked largely

because of Floyd’s charisma and determination.

As part of the state’s austerity program to deal with the recession, univer-

sity presidents were asked to voluntarily take salary cuts. It was an unprecedented move, and not all university presidents complied, but

Floyd was the first to do so, cutting his income by $100,000.

Those two early Floyd initiatives set the tone and

pace for Washington State University and the state’s higher education system.

Floyd was not afraid of a fight, and none was more challenging than the new medical school in Spokane. The University of Washing-ton felt that, since it already had the state’s only medical school, it was destined to run the new Spokane campus.

He took on the UW leadership and won with guts, determination and hard work. With his passing, there is a well-deserved move to name WSU’s medi-cal school after Dr. Elson Floyd.

“Floyd always made much of WSU’s role as a land-grant university – not an elite institution, but a university for com-mon people and common problems – with programs in agriculture, engineering and veterinary science,” the Seattle Times editorialized.

“This was the people’s university – he liked that,” said John Gardner, WSU vice president for advance-ment and CEO of the Washington State University Foundation. “He never wore it on his sleeve, but giving voice to those that have no voice – that was part and parcel of who he was.”

Floyd, whose family roots are in the south, became a Cougar and turned down several offers, including the top job at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Floyd loved students and if he knew of a student who was ill or having a hard time, he would step in to help – not with the cameras rolling for a news clip – but as a genuinely caring leader and friend.

Mike Bernard, a WSU grad, small business owner and lifelong Cougar who rose to become Association of Washington Business Board chair, worked with Floyd on many WSU proj-ects.

“Elson Floyd just loved his job and loved the students,” Bernard recalled. “He was a deep-hearted guy with a disarming smile.”

Being WSU president was not just a job to Elson Floyd, it was a way of life. That’s a tough act to follow.

Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be contacted at [email protected].

REPORTER .comA U B U R N -

who you are, peers – I con-tinued to kneel at the altar of music.

Sure, I went to college also, honed my craft of writing, eventually got a career as a journalist and started a family. But I never abandoned my allegiance to the music. I’m the guy who still wears a concert T under his work shirt, the guy who wore his hair long way past the time my reced-ing hair line should have allowed. Look up skullet. It wasn’t pretty.

Beyond all the accoutre-ments of being a metal head and hard rock fan, however, was the music. I picked up the guitar, learned to pick a few of my favorite bands’

songs, and got out some aggression, courtesy of a Marshall amp turned up to about 8.

Most important, I went to shows. Lots and lots of shows.

About seven years ago I got my first opportunity not only to go to concerts but actually to take pictures at a concert at the White River Amphitheatre, photograph-ing Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce and Mastodon at the inaugural Mayhem Festival. This involved standing between the front row barricade and the stage, snapping pictures mere feet away from the bands for three songs.

It was like a drug; I was addicted immediately.

Every year since then, I

await the summer festival season at the Amphitheatre to get my music fix. I have been blessed to have taken pictures of some of my favorite bands, including such music heavyweights as Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Rush.

This past Sunday, I got the opportunity to take pictures of Van Halen. Back in the 1980s Van Halen was the biggest band in the world, selling out arenas and stadiums and moving millions of records. Their shows were must-sees, and they often sold out in mere minutes. I was lucky enough to catch the band’s “1984” tour stop in Salt

Lake City when I was in the ninth grade at the tender age of 14.

Many bands are all about business live, striving to provide as flawless a per-formance as possible. For Van Halen it was all about feel. As David Lee Roth, the band’s flamboyant front-man proclaimed, a Van Halen show was an intimate party with a few thousand close friends. That’s how it was in 1984, and that’s how it is in 2015, judging by the band’s smoking 2½, 25-song set.

The band tore through a sampling of its catalog, tossing in a few deep-cut rarities and a pair of songs

never performed live – “Drop Dead Legs” from “1984” and “Dirty Movies” from “Fair Warning”, if you’re keeping score – put-ting to rest doubts about being able to deliver live at their advanced ages. Roth and Van Halen are both 60. In fact, I thought they played as well as they did the first time I saw the band.

Most important for me, however, was the opportu-nity provided by the music and stage show to sip from the fountain again, and to shed a bit of the cynicism

and callousness that I’ve acquired over the past three decades. For a few precious moments, I was able to feel 14 again, and that my friend, is priceless.

And with about eight shows left on the schedule at White River, including Def Leppard, Foreigner, Styx and Tesla coming up, it looks like I’ll be bellying up to the Fountain of Youth a few more times this sum-mer. And I’ll have the pics to prove it.

Cheers.

supported the transportation plan.

“This project will be under way shortly and will dramati-cally reduce traffic in Auburn, Highway 18 and State Route 167,” Hurst said.

The Muckleshoot Tribe, which owns the old Miles Sand and Gravel Pit. has agreed to donate the land and put some money to-ward the bypass project

As Washington de-pends on international trade perhaps more than any other state in the nation, Hurst said the completion of Highway 167 is of enormous importance to the region and the state.

“Highway 167 now dead-ends in town and sends semis onto city streets, which causes a lot of traffic and dam-age to local roads,” Hurst said. “Finishing the highway sends all those trucks directly to the port instead of onto local streets. I’ve been fighting to finish this highway for years, so it’s tremen-dously satisfying to get that done for my friends and neighbors. This one is worth celebrating.”

“Locally, it will help just regular people,” Rep. Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn, said of the project. “It will help relieve congestion so regular people can get to their work more quickly. But it’s also really important for the state because it will ensure you can get your goods to and

from the market a lot faster and cheaper.”

Months ago the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma formed a historical alliance wherein they decided to stop competing against each other but to compete against California and Canada. Both of those ports are making large investments to attract business from Asia that had been coming into Washington ports.

“With the pending widening of the Panama Canal, cit-ies like Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., are investing in their ports to lure more of the West Coast business to go over to the East Coast. That means Washington state is facing national and continental competition that it hasn’t really faced

before,” Stokesbary said. “This project is really important to just keep what we have. But if all goes well, we might be able to expand the amount of business that we’re bringing in.”

Stokesbary said the funding covers design work through construction on 167 and 509, and “we shouldn’t need any more money to finish 167.”

“The third off-ramp should relieve a lot of the pressure that is going out to where I live in south Auburn and definitely to all the folks living out on the Enum-claw Plateau. It will definitely take some of that pressure off of downtown Auburn and a couple miles down the road,” Stokesbary said.

by downtown Auburn every single day.”

Among the other positives are the Sounder Commuter Train, the history that Auburn, un-like other cities, Maryman said, “hasn’t swept away,” and legacy business like Nelson’s Jewelry.

Maryman praised as well the public sector improvements the City has invested in over the last 10 years, especially the many upgrades to infrastructure that are so attractive to the developers Auburn’s leaders want to attract.

Maryman went on to describe “moments of surprise and de-light,” either planned, he said, like the sculptures along Main Street, or unplanned.

One downside, Maryman noted, was how the bed of the old White River as it once went through downtown Auburn continues to settle in places, for instance, under the B Street Plaza.

Next to Maryman were SVR’s Managing Principal, Peg Staeheli, and Katie Idziorek, an urban designer with VIA Architecture & Urban Design. Over the course of recent months, these three

have conferred with experts on Auburn’s downtown, with key stakeholders, and recently with customers at the Auburn Interna-tional Farmers Market.

The idea was to find out what residents think should happen to the downtown in the short and long term, whether there might be room for a continuous canopy of trees, for clustering similar land uses or for embellishing some storefronts with decora-tive canopies to enliven the streetscapes.

“One thing (we have learned in interviews) was that people were pretty consistent in liking downtown. They actually like to come, but they don’t have enough reason to stay, and that was pretty consistent,” Staeheli said.

“On the destination scale, places and programs for people to gather, things to do, whether it’s a playground or public art that’s maybe a different scale than we typically see along Main Street. … Having café seating or sidewalk sales. How do we make that place feel more like a de-fined, inclusive space where you are supposed to be, where there’s larger public art and people gathering?”

Also, how can the City makes its inventory of new and existing building stock more amenable to a public streetscape and a public life?

“You have a lot going on that is really right, that really strongly positions you for the future,” Maryman said. “We often come to other communities and im-mediately see a lot of the issues. Here, we had to look beneath the surface a little bit to say, ‘OK, there are some places we need to tweak.’ Most important is that you are inviting people into downtown. We read in the paper today that the Trek Apartments are 25 percent pre-leased. The more people you get in the down-town, the better it’s going to be.”

Councilman Rich Wagner aired a concern.

“I agree with you that we have to get people downtown, and we want them to linger there, but there’s a fine line between linger-ing and loitering,” Wagner said. “The things that you propose for design I hope will take into ac-count that difference, to empha-size the lingering and minimize the loitering.”

Van Halen rocks White RiverREPORTER STAFF

The White River Amphi-theatre in Auburn played host to the return of the mighty Van Halen, which opened its 2015 North American tour at the out-door Auburn venue this past Sunday.

One of the biggest bands in the world at one time, Van Halen proved it hasn’t lost a step, running through a two-hour, 25-song set list

that included deep tracks such as “Drop Dead Legs” off the “1984” album, and “Dirty Movies” from 1981’s “Fair Warning”.

Both songs had never been performed live before Sunday’s show.

The band also dusted off classics opening the show with “Light Up the Sky” and playing “In a Simple Rhyme”, both from the“Women and Children First” album. It was the first time the band had

played the former since 1980, and the first since 1978 for the latter.

Drummer Alex Van Halen and newcomer Wolfgang Van Halen on bass – guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s son, who replaced founding member Michael Anthony – held down the bottom end, al-lowing Eddie and frontman David Lee Roth to do their thing.

The Kenny Wayne Shep-herd band opened the show.

Maurus sets new American youth records

BY SHAWN SKAGER

[email protected]

Harrison Maurus’ class-mates at Auburn Riverside High School had nary a clue about the power lurking in the 171-pound sophomore’s average-looking frame.

That is until the world-caliber, 15-year-old weight-lifter decided he wanted to own a few of the school’s records in the weight room.

“I don’t think they understand what I do,” Maurus said. “You can tell them about the weight, but until they feel it or see it, they don’t understand. So I did go to the weight room once and broke a few school records. I broke the power-snatch record at 265

(pounds) and power jerked 300 (pounds) and squatted 475 (pounds). They were pretty amazed then; I shat-tered the old records.”

And that was just a bit of fun for Maurus, who trains at Alpha Strength and Con-ditioning in Auburn.

When he’s serious about his weightlifting, it’s all about competing at the highest national and international levels, like the National Youth Champion-ships, June 25-28 in Bloom-ington, Minn.

There, Maurus took home first place in the 14-15-year-old, 85-kilogram (kg) divi-sion, snatching 120 kg (264 pounds) and clean and jerk-ing 155 kg (341.7 pounds), both American records. His total weight of 275 kg (606 pounds) – also an American record – was more than 67 kg (147.7 pounds), above the second-place competi-tor.

Not bad for someone competing in a heavier weight class than his usual 77 kg (171-pound) division.

“I knew my numbers were much higher than

anybody else in that session (77 kg),” Maurus said. “So I bumped up a weight class to be more competitive.

Fifteen-year-old weightlifter preps for Pan Am games

Harrison Maurus, an Auburn Riverside sophomore, practices weightlifting at Alpha Strength and Conditioning. Maurus, who recently set three American youth weightlifting records, will compete in the Pan Am Games in September in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter

Starting YoungWhen intimate partner vio-

lence occurs, its impacts are felt throughout the family. Between three and four million children ages 3-17 are exposed to domestic violence every year in the United States. Studies demonstrate the effects of this exposure resulting in difficul-ties with a child’s emotional and behavioral functioning as well as in their cognitive capacities and attitudes. It also under-mines a non-abusive parent’s relationship with their child, causing undue stress and weak-ened authority through the eyes of the child.

Exposure to domestic vio-lence occurs in many ways: wit-nessing violence acts and their aftermath, hearing arguments and fighting, or even sensing the tension and fear felt by the nonviolent parent. Through this process, children internal-ize unhealthy and often violent tendencies for conflict resolu-tion and relationship-building. Boys who witnessed violence during their youth are more likely to abuse their female partners as teens and adults than are those who were raised in nonviolent homes.

Better access to resources can provide families the informa-tion needed to reduce impacts of violence. Children and their parents need safe options and practical tips. Local domestic violence agencies, such as the Domestic Abuse Women’s Net-work (DAWN), can offer this support throughout Washing-ton State.

It’s never too early to start a conversation about healthy re-lationships. Reaching out to a domestic violence advocate can provide you with information such as: helpful tips, relation-ship red flags, and empower-ment-based listening skills. DAWN’s services are free, confi-dential, and available to anyone looking to learn about intimate partner violence. A DAWN Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team advocate is also available to provide mental health and advocacy services to children who have experienced violence at home.

To find support and to learn more about DAWN’s services, please visit dawnonline.org or call us at 425-656-4305 or toll free at 877-465-7234. We also invite you to join us on October 3rd, 2015 for DAWN’s annual Evening of Promise auction event. You can partic-ipate by volunteering, mak-ing an in-kind donation, or through sponsorship. Visit dawnonline.org/ get-involved/evening-of-promise. To raise money and awareness for do-mestic violence prevention, register for the Goodwill Refuse to Abuse 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.Stevie KimmetVolunteer and Outreach CoordinatorDomestic Abuse Women’s Network (DAWN)206-651-2849, [email protected]

Last year’s event drew more than 6,000 specta-tors, who watched 1,000 players on 250 teams compete on 30 courts in the north parking lot at the racetrack.

This year’s event features youth catego-ries from third to ninth grade, in addition to high school, college, adult, 40 and older, and co-ed divi-sions.

The tourney also offers

a 3-point shootout to raise funds and awareness for local charities.

Entry fee is $150 per team, with a maximum of four players. All teams are guaranteed a minimum of three games. Each player gets a T-shirt, with cham-pionship shirts awarded to the winner of each division.

Deadline to register is July 26.

I was competing at 85 kg, instead of 77 kg.”

Maurus, who also owns American records in the 77-kg 14-15 division, credits his work ethic and time spent at the gym.

“It’s a lot of time and dedication, a lot of time in the gym,” he said. “I’m usually in (the gym) six days a week. One of those is a core day where I do all the accessory work I don’t get to do on the other days. Normally, I’m here for about two hours a day. I’m putting in de-cent time.”

Now, with the nationals behind him, it’s time to prep for the 2015 Youth Pan Am Championships in San Luis Potosí, Mexico on Sept. 15-20.

“I’m going to compete at 77 kg,” Maurus said. “I bumped up to 85 just to set some records.”

Maurus said he’s head-ing back to the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center, the epicenter of Team USA weightlifting, to train with resident

coach Zygmunt Smalcerz, a retired Polish weight-lifter who won gold at the 1972 Olympic games in Munich.

“It’s fun and definitely helps and gives me a reason to keep going,” he said. “It’s a good boost.”

Maurus, who main-tained a 3.95 GPA as a fresh-man and is aim-ing for a career in sports medi-cine,

said his goal is the Olym-pics.

“I’ll probably make a bid in 2024, that’s the best shot I’ll likely have,” he said. “It’s quite a few years out, nine years. I got awhile. Mid-20s is normally the best time for weightlifters. It’s a long run, but I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon. I just like competing and love the sport, you have to keep coming back.”

FOR THE REPORTER

The Auburn Little League 10-11 All-Stars captured the District 10 tournament on June 28 to punch their ticket to the state championship.

Auburn defeated Steel Lake, 5-4, in extra innings behind solid pitching from Colton Anardi and Conner Sloan and some extra-inning hitting magic from the top of Auburn’s lineup.

After Steel Lake tied the game at 4-4 in the sixth, leadoff hitter Vi-cente Feliciano started the extra frame with a single to ignite Auburn. An-ardi then singled to push Feliciano to third before Ethan Smetheram lined into centerfield to plate the winning run.

After losing a close game to Steel Lake in the second game of the tournament a week earlier, Auburn had to fight its way through the losers’ bracket, playing nearly every day up through the championship.

Auburn’s ace, Drew Berkley, set up the week-

end series against Steel Lake by pitching a near-complete game shutout against powerful Federal Way National Little League on June 26.

Stellar defense sup-ported Berkley, exempli-fied by Dylan Butler’s over-the-shoulder catch early in the game and Jay Mentink’s consistently solid fielding of grounders up the middle. Mentink was Auburn’s spark plug throughout the week on offense and defense.

In addition to his great hitting, Feliciano set up the winner-take-all finale with a great pitching per-formance in Auburn’s 15-2 rout of Steel Lake in Game 1 of the championship weekend on June 27.

With Matthew Dublins-ki hitting line drives, Mark Olson striking doubles and Logan Conner capping everything off with an inside-the-park home run, Auburn was firing on all cylinders.

Auburn’s bench came up big. Maclane Watkins and Richard Rodriguez played key roles through-out the week, helping keep

the powerful Federal Way and Steel Lake offenses in check.

The team now moves on to the 2015 Washington State 10/11 State Tourna-ment July 18-26 at Mill Plain Park in Vancouver, Wash.

ALSO: The Auburn Little League 11-12 Majors All-Stars captured the Dis-trict 10 title, posting a 4-0 record. The team – man-aged by Kai Nahaku, and featuring players Brodie Beilke, Blake Deshler, Ja-von Forward, Brett Harvey, Giovani Parascondola, Ian Middelburg, Jackson Con-ner, Wyatt Nelson, Grant Harris, Evan Jilbert, Ka-mana Nahaku, Rhett Stein and Brayton Eilenberger – plays in the 2015 Wash-ington State Little League Baseball State Tourna-ment July 25-Aug. 1 at the Northshore Athletic Fields in Woodinville, Wash. The state champion moves on to the Northwest Region Tournament Aug. 9-15 in San Bernardino, Calif.

FOR THE REPORTER

The Auburn Noon Lions Club installed new officers for the coming year on July 1 at the Auburn Golf Course.

The outgo-ing officers were recognized for their contribution during the last year and several awards were presented.

Yolanda Trout-Manuel, an Auburn City Councilmember, was installed as 2015-2016 presi-dent, and will serve as the charitable organization as chief executive for the year.

Along with Trout-Manu-el, a full slate of club officers were installed by Past Presi-dent Pete Lewis, the former mayor of Auburn.

Heidi Harris was pre-sented the Melvin Jones Fellow Award, named after the Lions Club Internation-al founder, by past recipient Ron Bohlman. The award, which is the highest form of recognition, embod-ies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lionism. The recipient of the award is considered a model Lion because of the exemplary service to the local club and community in which he or she serves.

Harris, an Auburn resident, who is an associ-ate superintendent with the Auburn School District, has served in several leadership positions, but is best known for her tireless work coor-dinating the Lions Club’s Students of the Month recognition program and the annual dinner auction, which supports the organi-zation’s sight and hearing programs.

The Lion of the Year Award was presented to Candee Smith of Auburn. The award recipient was voted upon by her peers in recognition of her ºsignificant contribution to the advancement of the clubs goals and objectives for that year. She has been active in building club membership and lead-

ing the donation of a park bench for the community.

Outgoing President Ed Butler awarded Julia Wood

the President’s Choice Award for her service and continued develop-ment and volunteer coordination of the club’s backpack meals – helping the Auburn Food Bank pack and deliver food to children and

families in need during the school year.

Lions Club International is the world’s largest service organization, with over 46,000 clubs and 1.4 million

members. The charitable arm of the Lions Club aids people in need, specifi-cally the blind and sight impaired, the hard of hear-ing and deaf and the youth in our community.

The Auburn Noon Lions has nearly 50 members and is one of the most active service organizations in the greater Auburn area.

Community members interested in joining the club are invited to attend a meeting.

The Auburn Noon Lions meets every Tuesday at noon at the Longhorn Barbeque, 635 C St. SW, in Auburn.
