As Pacific Turns: Council reconsiders decision, interim city clerk is outBy SHAWN SKAGER
The Pacific City Council met Monday to clear up the confusion that had enveloped the apparent confirmation of interim city clerk Sandy Paul on March 25.
And after council members reconsidered their earlier 3-3 vote, they voted 4-2 against the confirmation.
Paul – who had served as Pacific’s city clerk from 2004-2006 – said she was disap-pointed. She insisted that, despite her qualifications, she had lost her job because of her support for the mayor.

Cash honors the original ‘Man in Black’ with tribute showBy SHAWN SKAGER
The similarities go beyond the last name.
For Brandon Cash, whose tribute to music icon Johnny Cash rolls into the Auburn Avenue Theater on April 13, the connection with the “Man in Black” goes deeper than a glanc-ing resemblance and a rich, bass-baritone singing voice.
“I first met Johnny in 1991 in Binghamton (New York),” Cash
said. “It was incredible. He was just an incredible man.”
Not only did Cash get the chance to meet the legendary man he now emulates, he actu-ally got the chance to share the stage with his idol.
“I was more into Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, that kind of rock at the time,” Cash said. “I wasn’t really into country, but I switched over really quick after that.”

Neighbors of a potential transfer station that King County may build one day just off West Valley Highway in northwest Auburn expressed a resounding “no” to the idea at Auburn City Hall on Monday evening.
The standing-room-only audience that overflowed the council chambers and boiled into the hall was eager to lay it on the line for City leaders.
People gave reasons for oppos-ing the proposal: it’d be ecologi-cally unwise, it’ll reek, it’s poorly thought out, it’s crazy, West Valley Highway won’t bear it.
Kathleen Cummings, a resi-dent of the Meredith Hill area of West Hill, delivered a tidy sum-mation of the arguments.
“It just makes no sense to anybody who has been around that area – traffic congestion, children, habitat, wetlands,” she said.

Three killed, one wounded outside barBy ROBERT WHALE
A biting wind whipped foil bal-loons back and forth, softly lifted
and dropped flower bundles back into their places on the parking lot, harassed the flames of small candles burning fitfully outside the Sports Page Tavern in northeast Auburn.
Throughout the whole of a cold, gray Monday morning, people came, found their way to the three impromp-
tu memorials, spoke to each other in low voices, told stories, cried.
Some had been friends of the dead.
Others, including a woman named Shawn, had never met them but came out all the same.

For the reporter
Auburn High School senior Tyler May and other Special Olympians recently converged on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. to sup-port the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act.
May represented more than 10,000 Special Olympic athletes from the state. The bill would reauthorize the Special Olympics Sport and Empow-erment Act of 2004 and provide assistance to Best Buddies to support the expansion and development of mentoring programs.
Special Olympics Washington CEO Beth Wojick invited May to the March 6 event.
May and other Special Olympics representatives from throughout the na-tion had the opportunity to share the importance of Special Olympics with elected leaders, including U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D) and U.S. Representative Dave Reichert (R).
May also visited the Pentagon, the Washington Monument, the White House and Congress.
May says he believes individuals with intel-
lectual and developmental disabilities should have the opportunity to compete at the highest level of sport and be recognized for their efforts. As a young man with autism, May embraces
his disability and is unabashed to share his golfer’s handi-cap.
In fact, May has won back-to-back gold medals at the Special Olympics Washington State Golf Champion-ships and is the
record holder.In addition, May was in-
vited to play in the 2012 Jim Mora Celebrity Golf Classic alongside Mack Strong.
“The first hole was a par 3, 110 yards. I got out my gap wedge and put the ball within 20 feet of the pin. No one hit the green except me,” May said with a smile. “We mean business as Spe-cial Olympians.”
May also is the MVP of the Auburn High golf team. Earning a spot on the var-sity squad as a sophomore, May has led the team in skill and attitude.
Off the course, May ex-cels in math and science.
He hopes to pursue a career as a locomotive engineer.

Auburn locksmith Frank Lonergan has withdrawn his name from the race for Auburn mayor – to throw his support behind the candidacy of Auburn City Councilman John Par-tridge.
Lonergan made the announcement March 26 in a let-ter to the Auburn Reporter.
“It is with great relief and pleasure that I can honestly say: ‘I no longer need to run for mayor of the City of Au-burn,” Lonergan began.
Lonergan’s withdrawal leaves a field of three vying for the post: Partridge, fellow Councilmember Nancy Backus and Iraq War veteran Scot Pondelick.
Lonergan, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor four years ago, said he felt the need to try again because he did not see any other candidate who in his
opinion understood that a person holds public office to serve the citizens in the way they want to be served.
Then Lonergan took aim at Mayor Pete Lewis.
“Our mayor appeared to think that he knew what was best for us without consulting our opinions,”
Lonergan wrote, adding that he believed the people in power now took many of they ac-tions they did in part because they were unwilling “to humbly re-think” tough decisions.
He singled out the City’s decision last year “to cede our local municipal court system to King County” despite the standing-room-only crowd that appeared in the city council meeting chamber before the vote to tell City leaders to keep the court local.
“When so many of the people in this city got involved in the process, our
leaders needed to at least take a second look at what they were doing,” Lonergan wrote. “But our mayor and council stubbornly plowed ahead without creatively looking for an alternative. This kind of let-them-eat-cake leadership style prompted my belief that I could do better.”
Lonergan then threw his support behind the sole council member who voted against the court change that night.
“Of all the council mem-bers we currently have, only one has shown the under-standing that he serves the people and not his own interests. John Partridge has consistently demonstrated that he gets it. He under-stands it is his job to do what the citizens want, not tell the citizens what they want. He is a true servant of the people. It is my firm belief that in November, John Partridge will be the only real choice for Mayor,” Lonergan wrote.

John Calkins, who is on paid administrative leave, pending the results of an investigation into unspecified allegations of harassment and intimida-tion.
“I don’t know how long the investigation will take; I might take a week or a month,” Sun wrote in an e-mail. “That being the situation, I asked Annette Spicuzza to pinch-hit in the interim. Annette is hired as an interim Public Safety Director.”
Sun – who on March 22 placed Pacific Police Lt. Edwin Massey on paid ad-ministrative leave – declined to elaborate on the details of the investigation, except to write that he had put the of-ficers on leave for their own protection.
Spicuzza has more than 20 years of experience, including a stint as chief of the University of California, Davis Police Department.
In November 2011, she gained national notoriety when her UC Davis officers pepper sprayed several stu-dents protesting on campus.
A 190-page report investigating the incident was highly critical of the department’s handling of the protest, asserting it “should and could have been prevented.”
Spicuzza resigned from her post as chief in April 2012.
Although they had yet to be notified about the ap-pointment as of Wednesday afternoon, the Pacific City Council must approve Spic-cuza’s appointment.
“I have not been informed by the mayor about any inter-im police chief,” Guier said.

A 35-yeAr-old Auburn mAn was sentenced Monday to 15 years in prison and five years of super-vised release for being an armed career criminal in possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition
and possession and distribution of cocaine base. Michael Paul Grad-ney was identified and prosecuted as part of the “Hot Spot” initiative designed to combat street crime in the White Center area.

The father of a 16-year-old boy shot to death at a May 22, 2011 birthday barbecue in Auburn is scheduled to stand trial June 17 at the Ma-leng Regional Justice Center in Kent on charges of first-degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Prosecutors allege that after James Mills shot Ga-briel Wilson’s son, Adrian Wilson, 16, Mr. Wilson, then 46, fired at Mills and another young man he held responsible for killing him.
Mills, 17 at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty
in 2012 to second-degree murder. A judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
Auburn Police Detective Michelle Vojir’s account, the basis for the charge against Gabriel Wilson, is as follows.
Adrian Wilson and his family had been attending a barbecue that afternoon in the common area of the As-pen Meadows Apartments at 402 21st St. S.
Shortly before the shoot-ing, Corey Branham, a resident of the apartment complex, showed up at the barbecue with his friend, Mills, and Mills’ girlfriend. Branham and Gabriel Wilson
senior had a conversation about some issues between them, but their talk ended without incident.
Minutes later, Adrian Wilson confronted Mills about the gun Mills was carrying. He was walking toward Mills when Mills pulled out the weapon and fired, hitting Wilson once in the head, killing him.
Bullets also hit Steven Chehey and Roberto Carro-Aguilar, who survived.
Branham told police that at that point, he ran into his apartment with his mother and Mills’ girlfriend, order-ing both of them to get down because somebody was shooting. He told police that when he looked out of the window a short time later, he saw people around the fallen Wilson, and Wilson’s father round-ing the corner heading for the apartment, gun in hand.
Branham said he heard multiple shots being fired into the apartment, one nar-rowly missing his mother. As the shots were being fired,
Branham said, he heard Wilson yelling, “I am going to … kill you guys!”
According to the police account, officers were ap-proaching Gabriel Wilson when he rushed forward. An officer tried to stop him, but he slammed the officer to the ground before he was subdued and arrested.
Gabriel Wilson later told police that he had tried to follow Mills and Branham with a gun that he had picked up from the ground near where one of the wounded young men lay. Unable to find Mills and Branham, he said, he returned to the apartment complex and fired his gun into the apartment until he emptied the clip, 13 rounds in all, according to the police account.
When detectives later asked Wilson if had been trying to hit somebody in the apartment, his reply allegedly was: “They killed my ... son. What do you expect?”
Wilson, a documented member of the Nortenos, a criminal street gang based in Northern California, has a prior felony conviction for heroin possession, 4th-degree assault, resisting arrest and 3rd-degree theft and, as a convicted felon, was not al-lowed to possess a firearm.

Students need to know reality that awaits them
Not to state the obvious, but there is no single educational path that is right for everyone.
For some students, it will be attending a college or university, earning a bachelor’s degree and perhaps going on to a master’s, even a doctorate. For others, it might be community college or an apprenticeship. The options are as numerous and varied as the career paths they lead to.
There is a lot of talk in our local school systems about change and helping students to be successful once they graduate from high school.
The first question, I believe, that must be asked is how does one define success? By educational debt? By current income? By long-term earning potential? By life experi-ences and personal growth? By one of these
things? By all of them?I believe these are all
things students should keep in mind when they are considering their end goal and the best way to get there.
The bachelor’s degree has been getting a bad rap lately in America. The
recession and ensuing new reality that many 20-somethings are unemployed or under-employed has drawn criticism of the wisdom of teaching all students to aspire to college.
Now we’re seeing school systems shift to how to get students into the workforce and living wage jobs as quickly as possible. Our local systems are no exception.
Our local schools have visions of partner-ing with local community colleges and tech schools. Tahoma, for example, hopes to build a new high school around the idea of having different vocational tracks. Kentlake has plans to start a pre-nursing certification program in the fall.
I believe these programs will have good things to offer students and our communities at large. However, I also think that caution is in order lest we end up with the exact same problem, just in reverse.
Ultimately it comes down to this: students need to know the reality that awaits them when they choose a path.
Want to attend a university? That’s great. A university education often means that a student will acquire educational debt to pay for it. What kind of salary can they expect and how long should they plan to be paying off those loans? Want to be a psychologist or social worker? You’ll need a master’s. What are the long term outlooks for those fields?
On the other hand college isn’t for every-one, not every career requires a four-year degree. Technical schools and community colleges can be great options as well. Yes, they will prepare you for a job in a short

Partridge is the only real choice for Auburn mayor
It is with great relief and pleasure that I can honestly say: “I no longer need to run for mayor of the City of Au-burn.”
I believed I needed to run for mayor because I did not see any other candidate who un-derstood that one holds such an office to serve the citizens as they want to be served (in spite of ourselves).
Our mayor appeared to think that he knew what was best for us without consulting our opinions. I believed the actions taken by the current power structure were taken in part because they were unwill-ing to humbly rethink tough decisions.
For example, when a deci-sion was made to cede our local municipal court system to King County, a standing-room-only crowd appeared at the City Council meeting chamber to tell leaders to keep our court local. When so many of the people in this city got involved in the process, leaders needed to at least take a second look at what they were doing.
But our mayor and coun-cil stubbornly plowed ahead without creatively looking for an alternative. This kind of let-them-eat-cake leadership style prompted my belief that I could do better.
Of all the council members we currently have, only one has shown the understanding that he serves the people and
not his own interests. John Partridge has consistently demonstrated that he gets it. He understands it is his job to do what the citizens want, not tell the citizens what they want. He is a true servant of the people. It is my firm belief that in November, John Partridge will be the only real choice for mayor.
Therefore, I am withdrawing my name from the Mayoral race and putting my support firmly behind John Partridge. – Frank Lonergan
New mayor needs to trim travel costs
Regarding City Councilman John Partridge’s trip to Wash-ington, D.C. (letter to the edi-tor, Auburn Reporter, March 22): Partridge is not the only member of our council who attended the National League of Cities meeting there.
Prior to 2000, very few trips were taken by city administra-tors. As I recall, requests for travel were approved by the mayor in general meetings of the council, thus giving the full council a chance to discuss the advantages of requested trips.
With open communica-tion between our mayor, department directors, coun-cilmembers and county, state and federal officials, plus our membership to the National League of Cities, and Suburban Cities Association, the City ap-plied for and received a lot of grant money.
I would agree that Mr. Par-tridge better serves Auburn by remaining at home. But in the past three years, his travel expenses (per public record) have been very small compared to those of Mayor Pete Lewis.
When I consider the options I have on the Nov. 5 ballot for mayor, I consider myself fortu-nate, knowing John Partridge, Scot Pondelick, and Nancy Backus will try to distance themselves from the politi-cal “mudslinging” that some people cannot resist.
At the same time, I hope when a new mayor is elected, he or she will do some “belt tightening” in the area of travel.
As for people who write about politics, it would be great to hear those folks speak at City Council meetings.– Virginia Haugen

Backus is our choice for mayor
My wife, Jan, and I are writing in support of Nancy Backus in her campaign for mayor of Auburn.
We feel she has the credentials and character to take Auburn forward in these trying times. Experi-ence as a councilmember and in life give her the strengths the job requires.– Patrick Cavanaugh
Qualified to do the job in Pacific
I am the immediate past president of the Wash-ington Municipal Clerks Association. I have my master municipal clerk cer-tification. I have 22 years of municipal government ex-perience, 10 of them as city clerk and much of the rest working with city councils, mayors and city managers. The Pacific City Council was ready to confirm me on March 25, and suddenly I am not qualified?
What changed? Am I too
old? Too fat? Too gray? Too female? Too supportive of Mayor Cy Sun?
On March 25, Coun-cilmember John Jones wanted to confirm me. Councilmember Leanne Guier said that confirma-tion was not necessary. The council’s attorney, Kenyon Luce, emailed them stating it was, indeed, necessary, to cast a confirming vote.
Why, suddenly, am I not confirmed?
I was acceptable by the council until I said I served at the pleasure of the mayor, as stated in their own Pacific Municipal Code, the law of their city.
I am more than qualified to do this job. I was illegally unconfirmed for political reasons.
The council is using their attorney to do work that city staff can do and are qualified to do, cost effectively. The council’s refusal to acknowledge and utilize existing staff or confirm staff is costing the citizens of Pacific exorbitant sums of money. The at-torney does not work in the interest of the mayor or the larger city, and Mayor Sun
finds himself without legal counsel.
Mayor Sun has tried to hire qualified people at a rate of pay lower than anywhere else and then having to wear several hats for that rate of pay. The council will not allow him to hire anyone who will not undermine him. He wants public servants to serve and not suck from the public purse. Mayor Sun is doing a lot of right things right. It is not dif-ficult to serve on Mayor Sun’s team.
The people of Pacific, the 6,580 who do not attend council meetings, should be very afraid of what their city council and the council’s attorney are doing to the City of Pacific. The legislative branch has silenced the executive branch. What the citizens have been led to believe they are get-ting, they are not getting at all.
The Pacific City Coun-cil has gone rogue and they have forgotten the oath they took to uphold the laws of the City of Pacific and the State of
Washington.This story is just begin-
ning.– Sandy Paul, former interim Pacific City Clerk
Damage to our parks is disturbing
Regarding the mainte-nance of our city parks: I have seen my share of van-dalism, graffiti and garbage dumping.
I recently confronted a man who was putting large bags of garbage into a Dumpster. I talked to him, thinking he didn’t realize he was breaking the law. He gave me a list of four-letter words and told me to mind my own business. I told him the park belonged to me as a citizen as well as to him.
I occasionally see many other large kitchen bags in the Dumpster. A couple of months later, I saw a couch left there, and later, an over-stuffed chair.
The Dumpster has since been removed. Surprise.
At times our building that houses our restrooms has been locked due to graf-fiti and vandalism. We had a portable outhouse. It also has been vandalized.
Many of the park partici-pants know each other, talk about these situations so they can be on the lookout for these criminals.
Possibly we should have a parks, police and citizens meeting so that concerned citizens can be informed, alerted and able to voice their opinions and sugges-tions.– Linda Howard
Say ‘no’ to all taxes
“We the People” have said before, “No, state income tax.” All taxes tax all the people.
Taxes become operating expenses of business. The business incorporates all expenses into prices. So, though you don’t see the tax, you’ll see higher prices. Taxes cause inflation, fur-ther stymying the economy. Taxes make it harder for business to succeed. Taxes cause unemployment.
All taxes tax the poor. Taxes on business tax the poor more than direct taxes. Taxes add to a busi-ness’ cost base, increasing the margin of profit. A $1 tax on business becomes $1.20. $1 tax to the poor is just $1.
Our Democrat-con-trolled government plans to implement a “new tax,” a state income tax and a host of other “new” taxes, in ad-dition to the high taxes you already pay.
How much will you take? How much can we take? Democrats do not want ef-ficiency and do not want to stop spending your money.
Some taxes are necessary, but where does it end? If government would become efficient, less tax would be needed. Government inef-ficiency costs us our hard earned money.
Government never stops wanting more. Say, “no” to new taxes. Say “no” to all taxes to force government efficiency.– Roger Hancock

“(The council has) for-gotten what their mission is, and they have forgotten what their oath of office is,” Paul said. “The only thing they’re trying to do is get rid of the mayor.”
Not so, said Council President Leanne Guier.
“It was based on the lack of professionalism she had shown in the short time she has been back with the City,” Guier said.
At the close of the March 25 meeting, the general be-lief was that Mayor Cy Sun, who had appointed Paul, had cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm.
According to City Attor-ney Kenyon Luce, however, after reviewing recordings of the meeting it was clear that Sun had not been allowed to cast his vote, which he should have been able to do, and that it had not been recorded.
Mayor Pro Tem James McMahon, to whom Sun had turned over respon-sibility for chairing the March 25 meeting, said he recognized that he had erred by failing to recognize Sun’s tie-breaking vote.
“As the person responsi-ble for chairing the meeting last week for this portion of the meeting, I think that the transcript the city attorney provided shows the council, and me in particular, were in error when I prevented
the mayor from casting the tie-breaking vote,” McMa-hon said.
To muddy the waters even more, councilmember Gary Hulsey notified the council and mayor on March 26 that he had cast his vote to confirm Paul in error. Hulsey, Joshua Putnam and Tren Walker originally voted to confirm, while John Jones, Leanne Guier and James McMahon voted against this past week.
“I was confused, I thought we were still on the amend-ment last week when I voted in the affirmative,” Hulsey said at the special meeting.
To straighten things out, Luce recommended that the council reconsider the motion to confirm, essen-tially starting the vote from scratch.
“Based on the record, it is my recommendation that the council takes steps to clarify the record on this issue and ensure the proper procedures are followed,” Luce said.
In the subsequent vote, Hulsey, Guier, Jones and Putnam voted no, while Putnam and Walker voted yes.
“Hopefully, (the mayor will) get the job posted and we’ll get someone put in that position,” Guier said.
Also The council voted
unanimously to disapprove a contract with Intravaia
Investigations to investigate whistleblower allegations made against the City.
Putnam said his concern was the City’s potential liability.
“When the investiga-tors were here, I had asked about their liability insurance and the City’s potential liability for any investigations they took for us,” Putnam said. “They said they had a bond, and that was sufficient. MSRC staff attorneys said there is not shelter available to us that would shelter us from the actions of a private investigator conducting an investigation on behalf of the City, and they advise against hiring an uninsured
contractor for this service.”McMahon agreed:“When I looked at this
company’s proposal to the City, I thought their contract was pretty un-prepared,” McMahon said. “I was also troubled that this company has been in business all of, I think it’s four months, four-and-a-half now. So I think they’re pretty inexperienced with this type of investigation.”
Hulsey added that he was concerned about a possible conflict of interest arising from one of the principals involved with Intravaia, who had interviewed but was not chosen for an opening in the Pacific Police Department.

Cummings suggested the county take a fresh look at expanding the current Algona site at 35315 W. Valley Highway, and asked councilmembers to refuse to support the county in the proposal.
Council members lis-tened for almost two hours then passed a resolution asking King County’s Solid Waste Division to extend the comment period on the proposed recycling and transfer station site for another 30 days beyond the present April 5 deadline.
The resolution also asks King County to enter Monday’s testimony into its records.
Upon the completion of a study of its transfer sites in 2012, King County announced that it would replace a number of sta-tions, including the aging, outmoded, cramped and crowded transfer site in Algona, which was built in 1964.
Two other sites in Auburn, one on C Street Southeast and another
in north Auburn had been among the top three original alternatives but are no longer on the list, City officials announced Monday. The owner of the C Street site has indicated he does not want to sell, city officials said.
Late last year county of-ficials announced that the 28721 W. Valley Highway N. site, just north of the 37th Street Northwest intersection, was the new preferred alternative. A site, at 35101 West Valley High-way. S., in Algona remains among the top options.
West Hill resident Jon Lindenauer said he felt blindsided by the news, and he faulted King County for failing to communicate what was going on to the people who would have the most to lose should the county elect to build a transfer station at the site. The site is a wetland he said, and, as such, it should be protected.
Cindy Flanagan, a West Hill resident, drew a com-parison between the City’s negative reaction to the C Street site and the West Val-
ley proposal.“Like your arguments for
refuting a dumping station at C Street, the environ-mental impacts for 28721 W. Valley Highway are equally as serious,” Flana-gan told councilmembers. “How can the site be viewed by King County and the City of Auburn as a build-able site, when previously the same site was denied development because the property was declared more than 80 percent wetlands? It is public record that this site has three code viola-tions for tampering with a wetland.”
Strain on the roadTom Souply, COO of
Span Alaska Transporta-tion company south of the preferred alternative, said West Valley Highway’s two lanes, already carrying more than they can handle at times, could not accom-modate the additional daily traffic load of trucks and ordinary vehicles coming to the station.
One woman, noting that Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis
had spoken out in favor of the site and publicly made himself a booster of it before the City has even taken an official position, suggested that the proposed station be named “the Pete Lewis … garbage dump.”
Others complained that the stink would waft up West Hill, that the station would lower the value of surrounding properties and that it would irreparably damage a fragile ecosystem.
Sarah Juchems, 11, drew applause predicting that in-creased traffic, light pollu-tion and habitat loss would drive away the wildlife.
“I speak for the owls, they live here too. … This site is a wetland, and I don’t need a Ph.D. or to spend thou-sands of dollars to know that,” Juchems declared.
Kevin Kiernan, the as-sistant division director for King County Solid Waste, has said by the close of 2013 the county hopes to an-nounce the location of the new transfer station.

“Utterly senseless,” said Shawn, tears standing in her eyes.
The aftermath of a confronta-tion that started with a physical fight on this parking lot in the early morning hours of Easter Sunday and ended in a hail of bullets that cut down three young men and seriously wounded another.
The King County Medical Examiner has identified the dead as 23-year-old Lorenzo Duncan, 26-year-old Nicholas Lindsay and Antaun Greer, 21.
“It’s a very sad day for Auburn, the community, for the Sports Page, a very sad day,” said Joe Ma-honey, owner of the Sports Page, an eyewitness to events inside and outside.
A dispute between two groups, one of them celebrating a birthday, began inside with a verbal disagreement between two women.
“The dispute started between two women when one of them danced with a man,” said Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman in a statement issued late Sunday night, adding that some of the victims and suspects knew each other.
Mahoney said it had been an ordinary evening and that the physical fight “only showed its
head” outside in the parking lot, five minutes after closing as some 100 patrons filled the parking lot and security was busy herding people to their cars to clear the lot.
“On the dance floor in the building, there was no problem. They were arguing outside about a girlfriend dancing with an-other guy or something like that,” Mahoney said. “Our security had no problems inside the building, none at all.”
Several witnesses said a woman
first fired a warning shot into the air to break up the fight. Hear-ing that, the witness continued, a man, perhaps believing that shots were being fired in earnest, ran to his car across the lot and grabbed a gun.
An estimated 20-to-30 seconds after the warning shot, multiple individuals pulled out handguns and began firing, according to police.
Duncan, Greer and Lindsay were pronounced dead at the
scene. A fourth victim, as yet publicly unidentified, was struck multiple times and transported by friends in a private vehicle first to MultiCare Auburn Medicare Cen-ter, where doctors arranged for his transportation to Harborview Medical Center. His condition has since been upgraded to serious but stable.
Later Sunday, police arrested a person of interest on weapons charges unrelated to the incident.
“We recognized one of the men
as a regular patron, two of them we did not recognize,” Mahoney said.
Police impounded several cars and a judge issued warrants to search them.
The bar closed for Easter and to allow employees to “get through this,” Mahoney said. It reopened Monday morning.
Throughout Monday, po-lice continued to verify all the accounts of the witnesses kept looking for additional people who may have been involved.
Police have recovered several handguns. Based on shell casings recovered from the scene, they believe several different firearms were used.
Police in Federal Way and Kent stopped two vehicles that matched descriptions of cars leaving the scene of the shooting.
Those vehicles were seized, and their occupants were being questioned, Hirman said. The car stopped in Federal Way was riddled with bullets.
Meanwhile, the community continues to grieve.
“Always smiling, just happy all the time,” Crystal Spiegel, 28, said of Duncan, a friend she had known since high school. “I found out about this on Facebook on my way home from work. It just doesn’t make any sense.”

King County Prosecutors on Wednesday charged a 28-year-old Renton man, a person of interest in Sunday morning’s deadly shootings outside the Sports Page Tavern in Auburn, with 1 count of unlawful possession of a firearm.
As a convicted felon, Troy L Neal is not allowed to have a gun. He is in the King County Jail.
Auburn police had also charged Neal with reckless endangerment.
A Superior Court Judge on Monday Neal’s bail at $250,000. Wednesday marked the 72-hour deadline for prosecutors to officially charge a person with a crime or to let him go.
According to the King County Medical Ex-aminer, two of the victims, Lorenzo Duncan, 23, and Antaun Greer, 21, died of multiple gunshot wounds, and Nicholas Lindsay, 26, died of a
single gunshot wound to the torso.According to the Auburn Police Department’s
affidavit of probable cause, which forms the basis for the charge, Neal told detectives Monday that shortly before 2 a.m., he saw several men fight-ing on the parking lot outside the tavern, one of whom he recognized as his friend, Lindsay.
After he saw a man whom he didn’t know shoot Lindsay, Neal told detectives, he retrieved his own pistol then fired five rounds toward the shooter and the surrounding crowd.
Neal admitted to detectives that he had been in possession of a .45 caliber handgun, according to the police statement. He was convicted in 2005 for possessing a controlled substance without a prescription and for controlled substance felony conspiracy.
Arraignment is April 15 at the Maleng Re-gional Justice Center in Kent.

Going naked in the garden means going natural - the way nature in-tended your garden to grow.
We live in one of the most naturally beautiful and green places in all the world. Loose your inhibitions because there is no need to over-fertilize, spray pesticides or over water to create a lush and lovely landscape.
You can become a naked gardeners just by peeling o� the layers of confu-sion and getting down to the naked truth.
Here‚ are three seminars that celebrate the truth about gardening naked:
You can have a Northwest Garden without a sprinkler system. Going Natural with Lawns and Landscapes
At the root of naked gardening is good soil that holds mois-ture and a mulch that seals in moisture. Instead of digging in pipes for a sprinkler system, dig in compost, bark chips and learn to layer your bare soil with grass clippings and other natural soil improvements.
Lawns can also look lovely without a sprinkler system. Just say no to the low mow, leave the clippings on the grass, aerate more o� en and use a slow-release lawn food that feeds the soil. Our soils are naturally acid so learn the naked truth about ap-ply lime and growing the right grass varieties for a more care-free lawn. Natural lawn care also means tips on using the right mower, how and when to cut the lawn and using the laws of nature to control the weeds.
Free seminar on “Northwest Gardens without Automatic Sprinklers” on June 1, 10:30am in Issaquah at Blakely Hall and Saturday May 4 at 10am at Skyway Water and Sewer District. Phone 201.772.7343 for more info)
Unbeatable Plants: Create Drama without the Drinking or Chemical Dependency
Going naked with no-fuss, no-water plants can make a dra-matic statement in the garden. � is means star-quality, focal point plants such as graceful Japanese maples, brightly-colored barberries and dramatically di� erent yuccas that make a real exclamation point even when contained in an urn or pot.
Not all stars have problems with drugs and drinking. Our local nurseries are full of pest-resistant plants that never need spraying and survive on rainfall alone. I can even promise you a rose garden without pesticides if you choose the right type of rose. Some of these diva plants also have fantastic � gures - with-out having to go under the knife for special pruning or be put on expensive diets. Learn how to use colorful nandinas, dwarf conifers and amazing foliage plants that o� er drama without the drinking and other demands of
constant care. It is time we honored these well-behaved, garden super heroes by planting them more o� en.
(Free seminar on “Unbeatable Plants” Tuesday, April 30, 6pm at Bellevue City Hall phone 425.453.1810 for more info)
Transform your Dry Shade into Lush Beauty: Nudity in the Dark
Large trees mean dry shade and our native � r and cedar trees suck the moisture away from traditional, shade-loving � owers. � is makes homeowners think they must add more water and more fertilizer to garden under trees. Not true.
Consider the bare fact that our forests are covered with lush growth under huge trees because Mother Natures wants a gar-den in the shade. Look to the natural beauty of native sword ferns, Oregon grape, huckleberry and even moss-covered boul-ders. � e rest of the world pays big bucks for our native plants and are delighted at how little water our native plants require and how well they thrive in the shade.
To light up the dark corners of your garden consider spring-blooming bulbs such as snowdrop, cyclamen and dwarf da� o-dils that bloom during dark winter days and grown into large healthy colonies when allowed to dry out during the summer. Hellebores, Japanese anemones and lamiums are other � owers that bloom even under the canopy of evergreen trees.
Naked gardeners know that shaded areas are the worst place to try and grown a lawn. Learn about lawn alternatives and you’ll have a garden in the shade that will be happy to go natural.

CELEBRATING EARTH DAY
Each year, Earth Day - April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal conse-quences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. “Environment” was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. Although mainstream America remained oblivious to environmental con-cerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment for the modern en-vironmental movement, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries and, up until that moment, more than any other per-son, Ms. Carson raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and public health.
The idea came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, he realized that if he could in-fuse that energy with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair; and recruited Denis Hayes as national coordinator. Hayes built a na-tional sta� of 85 to promote events across the land.
As a result, on the 22nd of April, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast ral-lies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been � ghting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Leaky Toilets Waste Water — Test Yours Todayhousehold leaks, which can significantly raise a homeowner’s water and wastewater bills. One of the most common types of leaks, a leaking toilet, can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day. this is a type of leak that can usually be easily fixed, and finding the leak is the first step in fixing the problem.
Your local hardware store can help you find an easily installed toilet flapper which will stop your leaks and save you money.
• Create a plan to fit your site. identify plants that will thrive with little maintenance in each situation.
• Give plants a good start. prepare your soil with compost, plant properly, mulch and follow healthy watering practices.
as part of national Fix a Leak Week, march 18 – 24, Cascade Water alliance recommends this free and easy way to test the toilets in your house for leaks. Just squeeze a few drops of red food coloring into the tank of the toilet and wait an hour without flushing. When you return, if the water in the toilet bowl is pink, you have a leaky toilet, wasting water and costing you money.
the average american home can waste more than 10,000 gallons of water every year due to running toilets, dripping faucets, and other

Turn your “waste” into a wonderful soil builder!Do Compost: Grass clippings, leaves, stalks, dead plants, twigs up to pencil diameter, and most weeds.
Don’t Compost: Weed seeds and invasive weeds like ivy (they resprout!), diseased plants, pet waste, clippings treated with weed or bug killers, or food waste.
Yard waste composting systemsThese include simple piles, holding bins made of plastic, wood, or wire, and multiple bins where you move and turn the compost regularly to speed up the process. It takes 6 to12 months for soil creatures to change most yard waste into finished compost.
Secrets to successFor faster composting, keep your pile as moist as a wrung-out sponge. Chop up stalks and twigs. Mix “green” materials like grass clippings with “browns” like fall leaves and stalks.

Williams sisters on track for success in 2013
Auburn Riverside’s Brittni Williams, left, and Brandi Williams, right, will look to drive each other, and the Raven track and field team, to the state 4A meet. shAWn skAgeR, Auburn Reporter
Riverside track looks to dominate
Last year the Raven girls were a force. The team snagged second at the state 4A meet.
This year the team looks to be just as dominant with a strong core of re-turning state competitors.
In addition to the Williams sisters, Auburn Riverside returns senior Rachel O’Neil, the defend-ing 4A 100-meter hurdles champion. O’Neil has the sixth best time in the state at 15.54 seconds. O’Neil’s winning time at state last year was 15.02.
The Ravens also boast a strong group of distance runners in seniors Lauren Saunders and Cassidy Brown and junior Rachel Covey.
Saunders has the fastest 800 time in the South Puget Sound League 4A with a 2:23.84.
Brown is second in the SPSL 4A in the 1,600 with a 5:51.53 and third in the 800 with a 2:25.62. She is also in the league’s top 10 in the 3,200.
In the field events, senior Lori Hansen has a top 10 state 4A mark with a leap of 5 feet, 2 inches in the high jump and is 10th in the SPSL 4A in the javelin and triple jump.
Sophomore Ayanna Ford is in the top 10 in the league in the shot put, discus and javelin.
The Auburn Riverside boys squad looks to senior Trevor Love to set the pace in the distance events. Love is in the top five in the league in both the 400 and 1,600.

By SHAWN SkAGER
Last year’s Washington State 4A Track and Field Championship provided a number of special mo-ments for Brandi and Brittni Williams.
Not only did the Auburn Riverside sisters contribute to the Ra-ven girls second-place team finish but they also garnered individual ac-colades, senior Brandi snagging her second state title in the long jump and sophomore Brittni grab-bing sixth place in the same event.
Best of all, however, was having the chance to compete together at the pinnacle of prep athletics in the state.
Having her older sister there was crucial, Brittni said.
“It helped me a lot because she guided me through it, when I didn’t know what was going on,” Brittni said. “When there were pressure situations, she told me to get a good mark and get it through.”
The Williams began their track career in elementary school.
“Our mom told us we were doing track, so we did,” Brittni said.
Although both showed a knack on the track and in the jumping events, neither focused entirely on the sport.
For Brandi, it was a foray into gymnastics and basketball.
She soon found her
way back to the track however, and by the time she hit high school it was exclusively track. That focus paid off for Brandi, who recently signed her letter of intent to com-pete at the next level with Boise State.
“It makes it easier this season because I know where I’m going,” she said. “I’m just more re-
laxed about everything.”For Brittni it was bas-
ketball, a sport she con-tinues to play and excel at for the Raven varsity girls basketball team.
For this track and field season, both girls said, they are focused on just getting better in their events, Brandi looking to repeat as state champ in the long jump, Brittni
climbing the 4A ranks in the triple jump, where she has the eighth best distance in the state with a 36 foot, 7.50 inch. Brittni also has a top-ten long jump this season with a 17-3.50.
Both also hope to bet-ter their times in the 100- and 200-meter dashes as. Last year Brandi snagged medals in both races, with a second place

in the 100 and a third place in the 200.
“I want to improve on my jumping and hopefully get 20 feet. I’m really working on that,” Brandi said.
Her personal best is the 19-6.50 she set at last year.
“I definitely just want to improve and hit 19 (feet) this year in long jump,” Brittni said. “And I want to place in state in my running events (the 100 and 200).”
For both sisters, the pres-ence of the other on the track during meets and practices has been critical in their growth as athletes.
“We’re very competitive,” Brandi said. “We don’t like it if one of us is doing better, but we try to help each other. We encourage each other to get our PRs. We help each other if we have to learn new things. If we see a jump and see something wrong with it, we’ll tell each other.”
Hopefully that will be enough to drive both sisters to the 2013 state meet, perhaps the last time they’ll compete together on the same track.
“I’m thinking things will be a lot different next year,” Brittni said. “I’ll be on my own at the meets. I won’t have her to warm up with or compete against in the events.”
Junior Trevor Gesell is third in the SPSL 4A in the 3,200 with a 9:55.35 and se-nior Devon Larson is fifth in the league in the 110 hurdles with a 15.23.
Senior Joe Miles looks to earn a state berth in the shot put and sophomore Mar’Yea Harris is in the top five in the league in the 200.
The school’s 1,600 relay team of Brady Lewis, Mitchell Blanchard, Sean Kierce and Matt Saunders should also make some noise.
Auburn turns to throwers, distance runners
The Trojan boys’ strengths lie in the arms and legs of their distance runners and throwing corps this season.
On the track Auburn looks to senior Tyler Flannery, who will run for Seattle University next year, to lead the way. Flannery is tops in the SPSL 4A in the 1,600 with a 4:28.34 and second in the 3,200 with
a 9:50.30.Senior Kevin Shelton
made it as far as the district meet last year in the discus and shot put. Already this season Shel-ton has notched personal bests in both events, with a 48-10 1/4-inch shot put throw and a 140-7 discus mark.
For the Trojan girls, senior Anna de Carteret looks to return to the postseason in the 3,200. She is seventh in the SPSL 4A with a 12:10.30. Her personal best time in the event is a 11:51.14,
set in 2011 when she ap-peared at the West Cen-tral District 4A meet.
Lions look to relay teams to stay competitive
Last season the Lion girls and boys found suc-cess at the state 3A cham-pionships, finishing ninth and 13th, respectively.
This year Auburn Mountainview’s boys look to seniors Chris Scharer and Nicholas Aumua to
set the tone.Last season Scharer
finished 15th in the 800 at state. This year he has already posted a personal best in the event, with a 1:58.82 at the Kent-Meridian Invitational on March 30. Scharer’s time is the seventh-best 3A 800 in the state.
In 2012, Aumua took home third in the discus at the state meet with a toss of 153-1. Already this year Aumua has bested that distance by chucking a personal-best 159-7.00 against Auburn
on March 20. The Lions’ 400-relay
team with Devin Bry-ant, Elliott Pelfrey, Ray Hardaway and Andrew Korchemniy should also compete for postseason berths.
On the girls side, junior Rachel Greve is fifth in the state 3A ranks in javelin with a 114-4 distance.
Auburn Mountain-view’s 400- and 1,600-re-lay teams should also be competitive in league and beyond.

According to Cash, the approval of Johnny Cash set him firmly on the path to his current tribute career.
“That’s part of the reason why I’m doing what I do now,” he said.
Over the years, Cash said, he got the chance to perform with Johnny Cash several times.
“I learned his show, the way he did it, and so now I try to do it just like he did,” he said. “I do a whole list of his songs spread out throughout his years. I change it up from time to time, but I do all the originals like ‘Ring of Fire,’ ‘Walk the Line’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues.’ I do some of his other stuff like ‘Wreck of the Ol’ ’97’ also.”
In addition to perform the time-tested chestnuts from Johnny Cash’s catalog, Cash slips a few of his own compositions into the mix.
“One, ‘Jack Daniels and Me,’ gets a pretty good response,” he said. “My stuff still has that click-clack sound
like his, but it’s more like the blues, like Louisiana-style blues. That’s more my style.”
Although it’s been almost 10 years since the death of Johnny Cash, his musical legacy still seems to resonate with audiences, Cash said.
“He had a song for everybody, that’s what I believe. Everybody likes something he’s done. A prisoner might like one song and somebody with a drinking problem might like another. But there is something there for everyone.”
Tickets for the 7:30 p.m., April 13 Brandon Cash tribute to Johnny Cash at the Auburn Av-enue Theater are $20 each, $18 for students and seniors and available by calling Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation at 253-931-3043 or online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
