That means Supermall Way Southwest will change to Outlet

Collection Way SW, Supermall Drive Southwest to Outlet Col-lection Drive SW, and Supermall Access Road to Outlet Collection Access Road.

Work had been expected to start Aug. 1, but Glimcher and the Washington State Department [ more STREETS page 8 ]

After plenty of speechmak-ing offered up by dignitaries under clear skies at the inter-section of 4th Street South-east and M Street Southeast Monday afternoon, Auburn City Councilmembers and other leaders piled into a Pirsch antique fire engine.

The engine pushed through a red ribbon, and Auburn’s M Street Southeast underpass was open.

It all happened before a perspiring but happy crowd of more than 100, and under the eyes of the workers who built it, a clutch of them watching from the top of the underpass.

Long-awaited M Street SE underpass opens to traffic

MultiCare Nurse Camp offers hands-on lessons in specialized health careBy MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Mariah McHenry appreci-ates good, friendly care on her frequent visits to the hospital.

“I go to the clinic across the street,” said McHenry, pausing to talk last Friday during a class-room lesson at the MultiCare Nurse Camp at Tacoma General Hospital. “They are always so kind, and so I always wanted to be a nurse.”

Doctors are treating the Auburn Mountainview High

School student for aplastic anemia, a rare blood disease. McHenry says she feels fine now. On the cusp of her senior year, her prognosis is good.

Soon McHenry will turn her attention back to that day’s lesson – learning to suture pigs feet.

County plans workshops on regional transfer system

King County’s Solid Waste Divi-sion will host three workshops over the next three months to review the Solid Waste Transfer and Waste Management Plan for upgrading

the regional transfer system.All of them on Mercer Island.The purpose of the review is to

determine what changes may be required to the Transfer Plan as a result of events of the last few years, including the decline in solid waste tonnage resulting from the eco-

nomic downturn and the possible changes to participants in the solid waste system after 2028.

The following workshops have been planned:

• Friday, July 26, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.• Thursday, August 22, 10 a.m. to

2:30 p.m.

• Friday, September 27, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

All meetings are at the Mercer Island Community Center, 8236 SE 24th Street, Mercer Island. Direc-tions to the community center can be found at www.mercergov.org/page.asp?navid=2014.

For the reporter

The Washington State Department of Trans-portation (WSDOT) will close lanes on eastbound State Route 18 between SR 167 and the Green River Bridge to replace pavement on the C Street Southwest exit approach and the roadway spanning the Green River (Neely Bridge) in Auburn.

Both sections will be replaced this weekend. Lanes will start closing at 8 p.m. Friday. WSDOT will reopen the lanes by 5 a.m. Monday.

All eastbound SR 18 lanes between SR 167 and C Street Southwest will be closed, and from Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road to just

east of the Green River Bridge.

The northbound and southbound SR 167 off-ramps to eastbound SR 18 also will be closed.

Eastbound SR 18 will remain open to local traf-fic only between Auburn Way South and Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road.

All lanes of westbound SR 18 will remain open.

WSDOT crews will not provide drivers with a signed, turn-by-turn detour; however, there are several ways to detour around the eastbound SR 18 lane closures.

The City of Auburn has provided WSDOT with two suggested alternate routes:

• From northbound and southbound SR 167:

Exit at South 277th Street and follow signs to SR 516.

Turn right onto SR 516 until you reach eastbound SR 18.

• From SE Auburn-Black Diamond Road exit:

Exit eastbound SR 18 and continue on SE Auburn-Black Diamond Road.

Turn left onto Kent Black-Diamond Road SE. The road becomes 152nd Avenue SE.

Turn right onto SR 516 until you reach eastbound SR 18.

For more information on the project, visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr18/greenriverbridgerhap.

eastbound State route 18 closes this weekend so crews can replace pavement

AdviSory: Now through Sept. 5, construction of roadway and utility improvements related to the Green River Community College expansion project will require lane restrictions for traffic on 320th Street SE from 120th Street SE and 124th Street SE. The hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays.

Floyd D. Gonzales, 29, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment July 23 to charges of vehicular homicide, felony hit and run, and reckless endangerment for allegedly causing the collision that killed popular Auburn taxi driver Brian Love in the early morning hours of July 5.

The King County Prosecutor

alleges that Gonzalez was under the influence when the SUV he was driving ran a red light and collided with the taxi, killing Love on impact.

Prosecutors tie the reckless endangerment charge to the allegation that, by speeding and failing to stop for a red light, Gonzales put his girlfiend and sole passenger, Latasha Moses, 21, at “a substantial risk of death and

serious injury.”According to court papers, the

force of the collision flipped Gon-zalez’ vehicle onto its roof and it slid to a stop just south of the taxi. Gonzalez, bleeding from his arm, immediately crawled out, accord-ing to court papers. Although a witness offered to help him to a curb, court papers say, Gonzales ran away westbound on foot, without first checking for any pos-

sible injuries to the occupants of either vehicle.

Police caught up with Gonzales at Second and South Division, and with the help of a witness, identified him as the driver of the SUV. There, showing obvious signs of impairment, according to court papers, Gonzales admitted that he was “intoxicated.”

According to court papers, Gonzalez is a convicted felon,

who was sentenced to more than 10 years in Thurston County for assault 2 and kidnapping 1 in 2001. He was released last Decem-ber but is on active community custody for those crimes.

A case setting hearing is at 1 p.m. July 31 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Gonzalez remains in jail on $1 million bail.

elect Backus as our next mayor

Nancy Backus is the person we need to bring our city into the next generation.

I served the City of Auburn as mayor for eight years. I know how difficult the job is and what it takes to hold that office. I can say with high cer-tainty that Nancy has all of the qualities and more to lead our city forward into the future.

There are many that are calling her “more of the same” or one of the “good ol’ boys,” which tells me that they don’t know Nancy or haven’t spoken with her to know that this is an untrue characterization.

I have watched Auburn campaigns closely and I have to commend Nancy for run-ning a positive, intelligent and professional campaign. I want to support and vote for a per-son that believes that Auburn is a great place to live and raise children.

She is a person that already has made and maintained the partnerships Auburn needs to improve our roads, bring in large and small business to in-crease our tax base and has the financial background to create funding to hire more police officers for our public safety. These are some of her priori-ties and I could not agree more that these objectives should be her focus as our next mayor.

I have heard some nega-tive statements about Auburn and Nancy in the media and it saddens me to hear these comments because this kind of divisiveness does not move the

city forward in these economic times. We all want a good qual-ity of life and the necessary city services to sustain Auburn into the future. We can do this by electing a qualified dedicated person such as Nancy Backus.

Nancy realizes there are opportunities that can be done to improve local govern-ment. Nancy is not adverse for change that will create more programs to help our citizens and businesses thrive. This tells me she is someone that is real-istic about the state of the city and is knowledgeable about what our government can do for the people of Auburn. She knows there are things the city already does well and should continue doing them. She will always seek to change those things that need improvement.

Auburn is “not broken.” My wife and I will be voting for the person who believes in our great 122-year-old city. We need a consensus builder,

a person who will stand with the citizens of Auburn and a person who will listen to the people of Auburn - and Nancy Backus is the qualified candidate to be Auburn’s next mayor.– Charles A. Booth

Backus gets my vote for mayor

This upcoming election will provide us an opportunity to look at three candidates to lead the City of Auburn. After reviewing the qualifications of all three candidates, I am excited to be supporting Nancy Backus to be the next mayor of Auburn.

Nancy has spent the last ten years on the city council and has served on a variety of committees. The last two years, she has served as our deputy mayor.

I first got to know Nancy when she was involved in Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound. While already a leader in so many places, Nancy still sought out oppor-tunities to improve her skills and become more familiar with local and regional issues. She was recognized by this organization in 2012 as the outstanding alumnus of the year.

Nancy's business experience as a long-time employee of the Boeing Company has also prepared her for the challenges of running a city.

our teachers getting a closer examination

Those wondering what public school teachers do all day are going to get an answer.

Tucked deep in Washington’s new two-year budget is money for a study to find out what a “typical work day” looks like for thousands of teachers toiling away in the state’s 295 school districts.

Lawmakers specifically want “an estimate of the percent of a teacher’s typical day that is spent on teaching related duties and the percentage of the teacher’s day that is spent on duties that are not directly related to teaching.”

They’ve asked Central Washington Univer-sity’s respected College of Education and Pro-fessional Studies to figure it out for a paltry $25,000.

Researchers there intend to use much of the next school year to collect details of

teachers’ daily lives in small, medium and large schools situated on both sides of the Cascades and in all corners of the state.

With logs, surveys, in-terviews or other means, they will try to reveal how

teachers pass the hours, a subject of much debate in an unending political inquest of public education.

“It’s an old question that no one has ever answered with data,” said Linda Schactler, director of public affairs for the Ellensburg-based university. “We’ve answered it with anecdotes. We think we know, but we haven’t actually done the research.”

It’s hard to not sit through a legislative hearing on the quality of Washington schools without a champion of education reform insisting the system is failing students be-cause teachers are not spending enough time teaching.

This is followed by a rebuttal from a teacher-type saying they can’t spend more time teaching because it is tied up on tasks required by the state like compiling reports and conducting tests.

Rep. John McCoy, D-Tulalip, proposed the study by the university because he was tired of listening to the back-and-forth in front of the House Education Committee on which he serves.

While he thinks teachers are weighted down by state-imposed chores, he wanted to find out if it’s actually true.

I can’t imagine a bet-ter mayor for the city of Auburn.

– Anne Baunach

Pondelick is right choice for mayor

I agree with the July 19 letter of Laurie E. Sison in the Auburn Reporter issue. It’s well said and she nailed it when she wrote that “Au-burn needs to be fixed.”

The residents of this town are indeed fed up and “tired of seeing the same old downtown that looks like a deserted ghost town.” And that this city needs “young business owners and young families to take over the reins of Auburn … to revitalize its growth.”

I also have lived in this town for over a decade, and I have grown fond of it and of its people through the years.

But unfortunately, what many residents of this town and I have seen, just like what Ms. Sison had seen, had been the deteriorating

looks of this town. I also believe that Scot

Pondelick, being the new guy on the block, has the right ideas and the plan on how to invigorate this city to the “next level.” And he truly listens to various “concerns” of the residents of this town.

I’ve emailed my own concern to Pondelick, and my concern was about the rusting and deteriorating in-frastructures on the railroad side of A Street. I specifi-cally pointed out the rusting World War II Quonset huts on the property of Tyee Ce-dar and Lumber store. I told him that it’s an “eyesore,” as well as a “hazard to the pub-lic.” He immediately emailed me back and looked into it. He went there himself to investigate my concern.

He said that because it sets on a private property, those rusting eyesores can-not be legally removed from the property, but evergreen trees and some bushes can be planted on the side of the street next to these eyesores to cover them from view. He provided a viable solution to my concern, and that tells me he would listen to every resident’s concern.

I also emailed Ms. Nancy Backus about the matter. But it took her over a month to respond. And she rea-soned that there’s nothing she can do about the matter, because it does not violate

the enforcement code of the City of Auburn. And that those Quonset huts have got a “historical and military value” in them and that she would get them moved to a museum. When would that take place, Ms. Backus didn’t say.

Time to fix Auburn. Let’s have the new guy on the block take its reins. He’s also an Army veteran, whose job then in Iraq was to look for IED’s that were planted on its war-torn streets and to defuse them. A job that I believe entails nerves of steel. And a trait that I also believe would make him the best man for the job as mayor of Auburn. – Jesse Jose

City needs to maintain property

If you drive up Mill Pond Drive Southeast across from Auburn Riverside High School, you will see, or should I say, you can see, part of the monument that reads “Lakeland Hills North.”

The grass has grown so tall it is now hiding the flowers that were planted in front of the monument.

Whose responsibility is it? I have lived in the Mill Pond condominiums for the past seven years and this grass has always been maintained. That is until this spring and now summer.

The Lakeland Hills Homeowners Associa-tion told me the property belongs to the apartments on 47th. The apartments say it belongs to the City of Auburn.

Who should be mowing this now two-feet high grass that has now turned to seed?

Mayor Lewis, you live off Mill Pond, do you not see this tall grass every day when you drive down Mill Pond Drive, or do you go the other way so you don’t

have to look at it?The City of Auburn could

afford to spend a million dollars on a brick street to nowhere, but we can’t spend money to mow the grass?

Come on, City of Auburn, this is a code violation on someone’s part. Find out whose and fix the problem. Or should we just buy a couple of goats?– Faye Cunningham

Enforce housing regulation, don’t debate ‘family’

Your July 5 front page article, “City debates defini-tion of ‘family’ in wake of housing woes”, described properties that have jerry-rigged student rental rooms inside houses.

Apparently, these prop-erties are “overcrowded, generate noise problems, don’t adequately dispose of garbage, and are creating health risks with numerous fire and electrical problems not to mention causing an increase in rat populations.”

So, I ask myself, why debate the definition of “fam-ily?” Are not these electri-cal, construction, garbage and noise problems already covered by existing City regu-lations? If these problems are covered by existing regula-tions, why not enforce the regulations? If these problems are not covered, shouldn’t the regulations be updated?

Why bring into the mix a factor (defining what is a family) that really should not be part of the solution but instead confuses the actual issues? It seems to me the real issues are not being addressed; that there is some other motive behind this misdirected debate.

Is it no wonder the com-mon voter gets confused, frustrated and then apa-thetic with the actions of government?

As for student housing, students renting a space to live should have the assur-ance they will not be exposed to electrical, construction, garbage and other health and safety hazards.

When I was a poor student struggling with rent and other living expenses, never was I faced with such hazards as described in this article. One factor that insured adequate living space was the university required all single student housing be approved prior to allowing a student to register. So it seems to me there are already ways to solve these housing issues without debating side issues such as is the moon really made of blue cheese.– John C. Hales

Market has a great manager, team

Thank you, market manager Joanne Macnab and your volunteer brigade, for making the Auburn In-ternational Farmers Market an outstanding asset to our community. The market of-fers something for everyone: a variety of vendors, fun events, entertainment and guest speakers.

As a board member and president of Auburn Valley Creative Arts (AVCA), I have personal experience with the professionalism, responsiveness to concerns and welcoming atmosphere that Joanne and her team have created. AVCA is especially grateful for the welcome and encourage-ment we received from market personnel when we set up our first booth. That same attitude of helpfulness and friendliness is still there over a year later.

We love sharing our art and connecting with the community on Market Day.

The AVCA Board joins me in thanking you, Joanne and team, for all that you do.

Fish consumption rate is unclear

I think Billy Frank’s column in My Turn (“Time to move forward on fish consumption rate”, Auburn Reporter, July 7) is inap-propriate to be published in your paper. Not because it uses inappropriate language or anything like that, but because it presents informa-tion that the general public cannot understand.

Mr. Frank did not describe what the fish consumption rate is, and only a person who has been deeply involved in water pollution activities would know that. The rest of us would be clueless.

I spent over two hours go-ing through the Washington Department of Ecology site and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality site, and now I think I know what the phrase “fish con-sumption rate” means.

I think it is the amount of seafood from local wa-ters that a person can eat each day without getting a dangerous amount of pol-lution from the seafood. It is a measure of the amount of pollutants in the water. A higher number means that a person can eat more fish without danger, which means that the waters are less polluted. If this under-standing is wrong, someone please correct me.

After looking over the above sites, I tend to agree with Mr. Frank that the Washington Department of Ecology has been kowtow-ing to industry (to let indus-trial polluters avoid cleaning up their discharges) far too long, and the information Ecology needs to set a new and higher fish consump-tion rate is readily available.

Get on with it, Ecology. You were hired to protect us.– Pete Beaupain

Backus Work experience: Employed by The Boeing Co. for 24 years, 14 of them in benefits account-ing, seven in financial statements and two years in financial planning/operations.Education: Auburn High School graduate 1979; Green River Community College, A.A. in business in 1981; City University, B.S. in accounting; 1996; Leadership Institute of South Puget Sound 2007: Dale Carnegie Leadership Advantage 2007.Political experience: Auburn City Council-member for 10 years, elected unanimously by fellow councilmembers in 2012 to be the Deputy Mayor in 2012. Is serving or has served as chair of numerous committees, including: Planning & Community Development Committee (2011-pres-ent); Finance Committee (2004-2011); Council Operations Committee (2011-present); Commit-tee of the Whole (2011-present); Auburn Tourism Board (2011-present); member of Valley Regional Fire Authority Board of Governance (2009-present).Community service: Has been a volunteer in the Auburn community since elementary school. Worked with the Miss Auburn Scholarship Pageant Program for 33 years – most of those as president and executive director; volunteered with the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk and other causes.

Q & AQ. Why are you running for this office?A. To serve the citizens of Auburn. My passion for service has increased and been fine-tuned over the 40-plus years that I have been volunteering, and for the past 10 years as an elected.Q. What are the top three problems facing the City of Auburn? A. 1. Jobs. The creation of jobs through economic development is critical.2. Roads. We need to work at all levels – federal, state, regional and local to find the money. 3. (Public) safety. We could definitely be more effective and efficient with at least five additional officers. I am working to support the hiring of those five officers.Q. And how are your abilities a good match for those problems?A. I have a proven track record for working col-laboratively – finding the important issues and concerns, bringing folks together and asking the difficult questions. I am a professional business person with a compassionate heart – willing to take responsibility and share in the success. It may be my name that appears on the ballot but I am working for Auburn.Q. What sets you apart from your opponents?A. Experience and passion. As the chair of the Planning & Community Development Committee (PCDC) and former chair of Finance, I have worked hard and had the good fortune of bringing for-ward ordinances and resolutions that can truly benefit Auburn and our Economic Development. Another obvious difference – I am female. I am not running on that platform, but it is a fact, and Auburn is ready for a female mayor – bringing a new perspective to leadership.

StatementI am proud and humbled to be endorsed by, among many others, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers - IAM Local 751, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Pierce County Republicans, Pierce County Young Democrats, Congressman Dave Reichert, State Rep. Chris Hurst, King County Councilmember Julia Patter-son, Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, and former Mayor Chuck Booth.

AUBURN MAYORAL CANDIDATESPrimary election, Aug. 6 • www.kingcounty.gov/elections

Next weekA look at the Auburn City Council races

John T. PartridgeWork experience: Eighteen years as a small business owner: Partridge Insurance Agency.Education: Auburn High School, 1982; Multnomah Bible College, bachelor of science, 1997Political experience: Auburn City Councilmember – Elected Jan. 1, 2010; Regional Law Safety Justice Committee – member since 2010 (chair 2013); National League of Cities Public Safety Crime Prevention – member since 2011Community service: Auburn Fire and Police – Chaplain 1997-2004; Auburn Noon Lions Club – member 2002-2012 (Past President); Auburn High School PTSA – Founders Award and Charter Treasurer; Washington Elementary PTSA - member Backstretch Chapel - board member; Sons of Italy Lodge #1955 – member

Q & AQ. Why are you running for this office?A. We are standing at a key moment in the future of our city, a moment that calls for responsive leadership willing to listen to and serve the community. Four years ago, I was elected to the council. While I served, I learned the business of the City, brought fresh perspectives and gained understanding of its needs. I am ready and want to give Auburn the best third of my working career as your mayor.Q. What are the top three problems facing the City of Auburn? A. 1. Safety of our families and community2. Securing funding for roads and walkways3. Making sure your voice is heardQ. And how are your abilities a good match for those problems?A. In addition to my education and public service experience, I am a successful small business owner in the private sector. That role requires the ability to manage, serve, market, lead and ultimately produce results. To meet today’s challenges, we need a courageous, independent, innovative leader that is transparent, accountable, and trust-worthy. This is what I will bring as mayor.A. What sets you apart from your opponents?A. Entrenched leadership tends to rely on itself, it supports and defends decisions made in the past, forgets who it is here to serve, and resists change. As mayor, I believe my experience and fresh perspective will better serve the interests of the people of Auburn. I will listen to our citizens, council members and staff and make City govern-ment empower Auburn to succeed.

StatementAs a City councilmember, I demonstrated integrity and courage bringing fresh perspectives, account-ability and balance to City government. After listening to the public and weighing all the facts, I stood alone and voted to maintain our local mu-nicipal court. When faced with sizable increases for diminished animal control services from King County, I led the effort to forge partnerships creat-ing the Auburn Valley Humane Society. The result was better services, reduced costs, job creation and a premium animal shelter. I envision Auburn continuing to emerge as a destination for families and businesses. A vote for me is a vote for a better future for our community and its children. I am endorsed by your Valley Professional Fire Fighters.

Scot PondelickWork experience: Started as a grocery bag-ger at Safeway in Auburn at 15; dough master and trainer for Pizza Hut in Auburn; joined the U.S. Army at 18 and became an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (bomb squad); served eight years and three deployments to Iraq. Education: Chinook Elementary; Olympic Middle School; Auburn Riverside High School; A.A. from Green River Community College; attended the U.S. Army’s Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal.Political experience: Member of King County Veterans Advisory Board, subcommittees: pro-grams and finance.Volunteering: Auburn VFW Service Officer 2012-2013; co-founder and fundraising chair of the South King County Veterans Stand Down and Resource Fair; Washington Diversity and Veterans Foundation executive board member. Volunteered with the Auburn Food Bank and Auburn Meadows assisted living home.

Q & AQ. Why are you running for mayor?A. Auburn needs a new direction, a direction that incorporates all the citizens and businesses. We need to work toward a better future, or be left behind. I want to ensure that Auburn not only grows economically but our community grows, too. By following my guidelines with the budget, economic development, and building community together, we can bring Auburn to a high economic standard that businesses and citizens not only need but deserve.Q. What are the three biggest issues facing Auburn? A. Budget – reduce losses with government-owned businesses and reinvest savings into our roads. Economic development – Spur economic de-velopment by working with small businesses throughout the city and encourage new youthful businesses within our downtown. Building community – Create and expand in-novative partnerships with the school district and local college to develop creative arts programs to promote a sense of community ownership through the arts.Q. Why are your abilities a good match for these problems?A. My abilities are a good match for these prob-lems because of my unique ability to recognize issues and to find sensible solutions to those issues. By using common sense and outside-the-box thinking, I can effectively and efficiently find solution in a timely manner. Q. What sets you apart from the other candidates?A. What sets me apart from the other candidates is that I come with a fresh outlook. This being the first time involving myself with the political system, I can see the problems from an outside prospective and offer innovative solutions. I do not consider myself to be a “politician” but a concerned citizen trying to make a difference in our community.

StatementOver the years of my service, I developed leader-ship abilities that have been proven in combat, and I intend to use these skills and the skills I have learned throughout my life to bring my home town back to life. For over a year now, I have been attending all the committee meetings to fully understand the problems within our community and developing solutions to these problems.

“I got frustrated at the unfunded mandates,” he said. “During the session there were some folks try-ing to add requirements to the teacher’s work day. I said they’re full.”

He and two teachers who serve on the House panel – Rep. Monica Stonier, D-Vancouver, and Rep. Steve Bergquist, D-Renton – are going to help design the study.

A full report is due in December. However, lawmakers are likely to give them until the end of the school year to track time expended for testing, which happens in the spring.

McCoy hopes the final product brings clarity to one part of the conversa-

tion on education reform. But he isn’t so naïve to believe the results will quell the debate on how teachers spend their time in the classroom.

“You’ll still have the naysayers saying it won’t mean anything,” he said.

And the results may prove McCoy’s thinking wrong about teachers and become fodder for reformers.

“I understand that,” he said. “We have to get the information out there.”

Once lawmakers know how much time teachers are teaching, they can tackle the next question of how well they teach.

of Transportation have to synchronize their efforts to ensure that the signs throughout the city are replaced at the same time they are replaced along the state highways that guide drivers to the mall.

The Planning and Com-munity Development Com-

mittee expressed support for the change at its regular committee meeting May 28.

The City has agreed to notify the owners of all the affected properties and Glimcher will do its own outreach.

“The response we have gotten from police and fire is that not only will this be OK, but that it will work out

really well,” Jeff Tate, interim planning director for the City of Auburn said recently, add-ing that all the surrounding streets were named Super-mall Way in the original plans, and the change will allow for finer distinctions.

The cost to the City is expected to be minimal, limited mainly to adminis-trative costs, Tate said.

For a hands-on oppor-tunity to learn more about a specialized profession, McHenry, 17, and 99 other high school students from 31 cities last week par-ticipated in the 10th annual Nurse Camp at Tacoma General, Mary Bridge, Al-lenmore and Good Samari-tan hospitals.

The annual, four-day camp gives students an inside look at careers in the health care world. Students spend time in departments at MultiCare’s hospitals, visit local colleges and universities and participate in rotations throughout the hospital network.

McHenry came away impressed.

“Up until now I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I know it’s something in the medical field,” she said. “It’s exciting.”

Like McHenry, Auburn’s Sharnpreet Tung overcame health problems. As a child, she was hospitalized with a life-threatening illness.

Tung, too, has never forgotten the kind care she received at the hands of doctors and nurses.

“I know from a patient’s view how it feels,” said Tung, 16, a junior-to-be at Auburn Mountainview. “The nurses and everyone were really nice (to me), so this is what I wanted to do when I grow up.”

Tung and other stu-dents learned that nurses do much more than draw

blood and take tempera-tures.

“Wow, they do every-thing,” Tung said.

Students examined pig hearts and LVADs (left ventricular assist de-vices), learned to prepare pediatric patients for tests/procedures, practiced with c-collar/backboards and performed neuro checks.

Using robotic instru-ments, students performed “Skittle-ectomies” in the operating room, where they discovered other high-tech surgeries.

They also job shadowed various units and depart-ments at the hospitals.

Ten years ago, MultiCare recognized the need to encourage a more diverse, better prepared healthcare

work force. In 2004, Multi-Care began supporting the weeklong day camp, which is free to area students. In addition to increasing ethnic and racial diversity in health care, a growing number of young men are pursuing careers in nursing.

MultiCare Nurse Camp encourages and supports that trend.

“It is my hope that Nurse Camp students begin to visualize themselves as future nurses and become even more motivated to pursue this career path,” said Nurse Camp Director Jamilia Sherls, MPH, BSN, RN. “It would be great if these students returned to MultiCare one day as a nurse or another health professional.”

For the reporter

The Outlet Collection|Seattle, for-merly the SuperMall, has announced a new lineup of retailers coming to the center this fall, including Nike Factory Store, Michael Kors, J. Crew Fac-tory Store, Brooks Brothers Fac-tory Store, LOFT Outlet, H&M and Skechers.

With plans to open by October, these brands will join the outlet mall’s existing designer fashion retailers.

The new brands mark the next phase of the mall’s plan to revitalize 100,000 square feet of merchant space as a part of its transformation to become The Outlet Col-lection.

“Adding contemporary fashion retailers is key to our broader plans for the redevelopment of the entire center and in line with our commitment to providing luxury and value in a mod-ern, upscale environment,”

said Chantelle Herburger, marketing director of The Outlet Collection|Seattle.

A public grand-unveiling event is planned for Oct. 17-19 to showcase the renovation and welcome new tenants.

The renovation of the center began in

August 2012 and will be substantially completed upon the grand-unveiling

event. The center will remain open for business

throughout the duration of the construction.

In addition to new de-signer fashion outlet retail-ers, the renovation project includes all new flooring, modern colors inside and out, new interior rails and light fixtures, as well as new concourse furniture and signage.

Family restrooms have been added and Wi-Fi hotspots will be available throughout the interior. Ex-terior work includes a new design, name and branding at all vehicle and mall entry points.

A new Dining Emporium and interior concourse connector was added in February to improve the shopping experience.

The first two of five mall entrance renovations will be completed in July.

elsewhereSeventy area facilities that met

or exceeded wastewater discharge permit requirements this year earned environmental compliance awards from King County’s Industrial Waste Program.

Each year, the Industrial Waste Program, which operates as part of King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division, honors local facilities whose business practices contribute to regional pollution prevention goals.

The Industrial Waste Program presented a Gold Award to 46 fa-cilities – four from the Auburn area – for compliance with wastewater discharge regulations every month in 2012 with no violations. Those in the Auburn area were: Black oxide LLC; Boeing Commercial Airplane; tim’s Cascade Snacks; and tri-Way Industries Inc.

Auburn’s Accurate Industries was among 24 facilities that earned a Silver Award for having no King

County monitoring discharge viola-tions in 2012.

Since 1969, the Industrial Waste Program has required industrial facilities to pretreat wastewater before discharging it into the sewer to protect the County’s treatment system and its workers as well as the environment and public health.

In addition to applying federal, state and local environmental

regulations and monitoring facili-ties for compliance, the program educates industrial users about regulatory requirements and pol-lution prevention.

The program operates as part of the County’s Wastewater Treatment Division. For more information about the King County Industrial Waste Program, visit www.kingcounty.gov/industrialwaste. ...

A snappy ending to a project whose realization was anything but.

“So long in coming,” Au-burn Mayor Pete Lewis said about the Freight Action Strategy for Seattle-Tacoma (FAST) Corridor project, which dates to the admin-istration of his predeces-sor, Chuck Booth, in the 1990s. Those projects were designed to improve freight mobility by removing traffic chokepoints.

The project, on which actual construction began in February 2012, separates M Street Southeast from the at-grade Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway’s Stampede Pass rail crossing. Without that

separation, there would soon have been intermi-nable backups, while traffic waited for anticipated mile - long trains to make their way along the tracks.

“This makes a difference for our city, this makes a difference for the Puget Sound Region ... Burlington Northern Santa Fe having the ability to open Stam-pede Pass when it chooses,” Lewis said, praising every agency and board that played a role in making it happen and a City Council “that never, ever quit.”

Funding for the $22.3 million project came from multiple sources, among them the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, BNSF Railway, the Washington State Transportation Improve-

ment Board (TIB), the Washington State Freight Mobility and Strategic Investment Board (FM-SIB), the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund Board, federal grants, the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks-Wastewater Treat-ment Division and local funds.

Rich Wagner, chairman of the City’s Public Works Committee, recalled one especially dark moment when the project, halfway through the planning stages but without good prospects for getting the necessary funding, stood on the brink of oblivion.

“About halfway through this, the Public Works Committee actually con-

sidered terminating it,” Wagner recalled. “We were in such a bind for fund-ing, and having people like the ports and others step forward, and the (state Transportation Improve-ment Board), they really pushed it over the top and made it happen. … There are hundreds involved in making this happen, and they all deserve credit.”

Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren explained why this par-ticular project matters so much to the district’s 15,000 students and to its buses, which put in almost 1.2 million miles every year.

Before Monday, school buses would line up all the way through the lights north on M Street North-east.

“The wheels on the bus

can go ‘round, and we can make more efficient stops. We won’t spend as much time at the lights, so we’ll save fuel. That means the kids will be better behaved than when they’re waiting on the bus. It means there’ll be better stops along the way for all of our students and families,” Herren said.

Some 600 trucks per day cross M Street, and the underpass project elimi-nates daily closures that can add 15 minutes to a truck’s trip, said Dan Gatchett, chairman of the state Freight Mobility-Strategic Investment Board, which contributed $6 million to the project. He said FM-SIB’s mission is to eliminate freight chokepoints and mitigate freight impacts to the communities.

“At $60 an hour for the

trucking industry, it doesn’t take long for FMSIB’s investment to pay off,” Gatchett said.

The M Street underpass is the last of the FAST Cor-ridor projects. Among them is the 3rd Street Southwest grade separation.

“Fast Corridor was an idea that we could begin to put together a number of transportation projects from the port of Seattle and across the Cascades,” said Port of Seattle Commis-sioner Bill Bryant. “Today we are celebrating not just opening the M Street underpass but the comple-tion of that corridor, which is going to allow us to keep jobs here in Washington State.”

King County’s Green Schools Program recently recognized four Auburn schools for successful con-servation practices.

The program has three levels that involve students and staff in learning about and practicing conser-vation of natural resources.

Arthur Jacobsen and Lea Hill elementary schools were among 13 schools in the county that completed Level Two by engaging in energy con-servation actions, such as turning off lights in unoc-cupied rooms.

Auburn High School and Gildo Rey Elementary were among 21 schools that completed Level One by expanding recycling prac-tices and focusing on waste reduction strategies, such as decreasing paper use.

Schools that complete

Level Three learn about and engage in water con-servation and pollution prevention practices.

“Staff and students at these 39 schools have em-braced recycling, reducing

waste and other conser-vation actions, with

assistance from the County’s Green Schools Program,” said Dale Alekel,

program manager.The program has

served a growing number of schools each year, with 100 schools participating in 2009-10, 120 in 2010-11, 154 in 2011-12, and 174 in 2012-13.

The program assists school districts as well as schools, with 12 districts participating in 2012-13.

The award-winning program provides hands-on assistance, recycling containers and stickers, and the ongoing support schools need to engage stu-

dents and staff in conserva-tion actions.

In addition to providing schools with the hands-on help they need, the Green Schools Program offers a website, www.kingcounty.gov/GreenSchools, with helpful tools and resources.

Raven makes his way home WA Cup gets a financial boostFoR the RepoRteR

With five new title sponsors on board, a rejuvenated Washing-ton Cup will feature six stakes races – each worth $50,000 – on Sunday, Sept. 8, at Emerald Downs.

The new sponsor-ships have raised Washington Cup’s aggregate stakes purses to $300,000, a sub-stantial raise from the $215,000 offered the last several years.

Contributing $15,000 each are: Northwest Farms, Daily Racing Form, Comcast SportsNet, Jim Beam and Pegasus Training & Equine Rehabilitation Center.

In a familiar gym: Derek Pegram, who played basketball and graduated from Auburn Riverside, is back as the new coach of the heralded girls program. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

Former star player returns to Auburn Riverside as girls basketball head coachBy ShAWN SKAGeR

[email protected]

It may very well have been the millionth time he'd fired a basket-ball at one of the rims inside the Auburn Riverside High School gymnasium.

And watched his shot hit nothing but net.

“I’ve lived in this gym since 1995 when I was a ball boy,” Derek Pe-gram explained.

Pegram, a 2004 ARHS graduate and star player, will be spending a lot more time on that court – now as head coach of the vaunted Ravens girls basketball program.

“Getting to take over not only the program at the school that I went to and played for but also the pro-gram that has been so successful, I couldn’t ask for a better first varsity head coaching job, because this is the best varsity job in the state," Pegram said.

Getting back to where he started has been quite the journey for Pegram.

From 2000 to 2004, Pegram

MAKING A SPLASH

played hoops for Tom Adams at ARHS. After graduation he moved on to North Seattle Community College to continue his playing career. But life on the hardwood as a player wasn’t in the cards for him.

“Since I was a kid, I always wanted to coach. I never had the dream of playing in the NBA," Pe-gram said.

After graduating from North Seattle, Pegram came back to ARHS to help Adams with the incoming freshman class.

“He asked if I wanted to stay on and be a varsity assistant that next year,” Pegram said. “Then Doug (Aubert), who was the (junior varsity) coach, got the athletic director job. The chance for me to be the head JV coach at the age of 20 was too much to pass up.”

In 2010, after three years with the Raven boys JV program, Pegram moved to Franklin Pierce High School to be a varsity assis-tant with Deon Moyd and Stan Harris. The team made it to the state tournament.

Telling himself that if he really wanted to "get into it", he had to finish his degree, however, Pegram left for Lewis and Clark State (College) in Idaho one year later and enrolled in the school’s kinesthesiology program.

Soon he was invited to help out with the school’s girls basketball program.

“I didn’t realize at first how good they were,” he said. “We were really good, ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation in the NAIA (National Association of Interscholastic Athletics) Division I. We made it to the national tournament and the sweet 16 in Jackson, Tenn.”

Despite his foray into coaching collegiate athlet-ics, Pegram missed coach-ing at the prep level.

“I feel like you have more impact at the high school level, not just their basket-ball lives but in growing them up," Pegram said. "To me it’s just more fun. In col-lege you get 12-15 kids; in high school you get a var-sity, a JV, a freshman team. So you’re dealing with 30 or 40 kids every single year. To

me that’s awesome. That’s what this is all about.”

After a season help-ing the Lewis and Clark women's program, Pegram returned to coaching high school ball, taking over the junior varsity program at Lewiston High School. On the verge of gradua-tion from Lewis and Clerk with a bachelor’s degree, he started looking for a high school varsity program in need of a head coach.

“This job came open,” Pegram said of ARHS. “I knew that I wanted a head coaching position, and that I was graduating, so I drove over for interviews. Twice. During finals week. That was stressful. And I had biology finals too. That really sucked.”

Pegram not only got a call back from Aubert but also a job offer.

When he was making up his mind about applying for the ARHS job, Pegram added, the final decision was always going to turn on whether he wanted to live in Auburn again. Fortu-

nately, he said, he's a big fan not only of the program but also the community.

"I’ve lived here most of my life, and I feel now is the time to for me to come back to Auburn in a way that I feel could be successful," Pegram said.

Pegram was also excited that his mother, Shelly Pegram, stat keeper for the girls varsity program, would get the chance to see him coach every game. As for jumping right into lead-ing a program that has not only been highly successful but also notorious for its corps of vocal and involved parents, Pegram said he welcomes the challenge.

“People have warned me that I’m going to face parent issues. But you’re going to face parent issues wher-ever you go. I faced them in Idaho. As a first year varsity coach, I’m excited to deal with it, to be honest. Because I’m all about being the best coach I can, and if I have to deal with tough decisions right away, then good, I’ll learn quicker. I

want to have a long career coaching, I want to impact kids lives for a long time. And I feel like if I can deal

with issues that might make some people uncomfort-able, that will just make me better," Pegram said.

with commitments to support Washington-bred horses.

“The end result is that our horsemen will be running for more money, and bigger purses help the state’s breeding industry.”

Founded in 2003, Washington Cup annually celebrates the state’s long and storied tradition for producing talented Thoroughbreds. The Cup features two stakes apiece for 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and older horses.

Washington Cup has been a showcase for several of the state’s all-time greatest Thorough-breds. The list of Emerald Downs’ champions to win WA Cup races includes Noosa Beach, Wasserman, Atta Boy Roy, Queenledo, Ladyle-due and Music of My Soul.

Sally Joe ParrySally Joe Parry, 80 years young,

passed into glory at her home in Auburn, Washington early on Sunday morning, June 30th, 2013. After years of bouncing back from pulmonary fibrosis, Sally’s generous heart quietly stopped in her sleep. Sally entered this world on March 13, 1933 in Ballard, Washington as the second youngest of six daughters born to Hattie Mittendorf

and Archibald McCune: Janie Christoperson, Hazel Jobe, Leona Chestnut, Carol Backus, Sally, and Marilyn Breon. Sally attended Ballard high school, where she was known for her sense of humor and enthusiasm for dance and baton twirling. While working as an expediter at Boeing Aircraft Company in Seattle, Sally met Mark Parry, the love of her life.

Sally and Mark were married in November of 1959 and bought a house in Auburn, where they raised their two children, Joyce and Doug. Together, their family enjoyed camping, music, art, and Husky games. After Mark was taken suddenly by cancer at the age of 54, Sally devoted her life to the church, to volunteering at the local hospital, to her senior center, to her kind and loving neighbors (many of whom called her “grandma”) and to her own children and grandchildren.

A former opera singer and current Episcopal priest, Joyce gave Sally five grandchildren (two by birth and three through marriage) – Ariana Moore, Chris Frey, Emily Harvey, Peter Moore and Kiersten Bomford-Moore – and four great-grandchildren – Joel, Kale, Liam and Elena. A successful painter in Seattle and New York, Doug is Associate Professor of fine arts at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Doug tenderly cared for Sally during these final years of her life. Sally also loved all of her many nieces and nephews, and was especially close to Carol and Gus’ children, Steven, Christine and Kemon and their families.

Sally loved animals and especially cared for her garden, the “park” on Pike Street. Like her quirky expressions (“For corn’s sake!”) and her collection of John Wayne movies, Sally’s flowers will remind us of her bold presence forever.

Services will be held at 11 am on Saturday, July 27 at Auburn First United Methodist Church, at 100 N St Se, Auburn, (253) 833-3470. Those wishing to donate in Sally’s memory should direct funds to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, for children’s pulmonary disease research, at
