Poised and polished, Jacque Guyette returned to the bright stage to succeed where she twice had stum-bled.
This time would be dif-ferent for the 22-year-old Auburn woman.
Impressing the judges and wowing the audience, Guyette performed flaw-lessly to capture the Miss Auburn crown at the Auburn
Performing Arts Center last Saturday night.
“I’m overwhelmed, ecstatic,” Guyette said mo-ments after accepting the tiara, flowers and a flood of hugs and congratulations from contestants, family and friends. “I’m very surprised. I am thrilled.

The new Auburn High School is about 42 percent complete.
As district officials told the school board Monday night, rooms are be-ing painted, cabinets are in the walls in some classrooms, kitchen equip-
ment is in and there’s even a quarry tile floor down in the kitchen area.
The next milestone to look for — the red brick exterior.
“The brick is starting to go up on the south side of the building, the Main Street side, and they’re making great progress on that,” said Deputy Superintendent Mike New-man. “It’s going to be exciting to see that white mass now turn into the classic brick.”

Soon, Auburn residents won’t need a rabies certification to obtain a pet license.
That requirement, said City Councilman Bill Peloza, had been a downward drag on pet license sales, which are vital to keeping the Auburn Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter on A Street South-east in operation.
“We did it to help increase pet license sales,” Peloza, chairman of the Municipal Services Committee, said Monday.
While state law requires that pets be vaccinated for rabies every three years, the new rules eliminate the need to document the shots with King County and subsequently to provide paperwork to get the license.
The AVHS needs healthy pet licensing revenues to repay a $250,000 loan the City of Au-burn made it in 2010 to build the shelter.
“Our pet licensing in Auburn has been slow because we had that rabies requirement. Pet licensing is the life blood of the shelter,” Peloza said.
The City and the AVHS sell pet licenses.
Through November, City Finance Director Shelley Coleman said re-cently, pet licensing revenues were about $150,000.
“We’re not doing as well as the County did,” Coleman said.
Because King County Animal Control does not require the rabies certification, Municipal Services Committee members studied the county’s comparatively fatter pet license sales revenues, and com-pared them with what the City had achieved to date.
Committee members recently talked to veterinarians and shelter director Phil Morgan, who main-tained that eliminating the rabies certification requirement would pose a low risk to public safety.
The real rabies danger, veteri-narian Don Edwards, a founding member of the AVHS, told the committee, is infected bats.
“Your best way to ensure hu-mans aren’t exposed to rabies is to vaccinate your pets, because pets come into contact with bats more than people do,” Edwards said. “All rabies for Washington in at least the last 100 years have come from bats.”
Mary Hale, groomer at the Auburn Valley Animal Clinic, paints a Seahawk logo on Frankie Schultz, above,
during the clinic’s Seahawks Spirit Party for Canines last Saturday. The clinic asked pet owners to bring in their dogs to receive special team coloring – from painted
nails to logos and the No. 12 on the fur – in celebratation of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl meeting with the Denver
Broncos on Sunday. Hale, right, paints Pan’s claws. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

AUBURN DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION
By ROBERT WHALE
While a Dodge Ram pickup truck sat disabled on the shoulder of Highway 18 in the early morning hours of Jan. 14, its owner, waiting for help to arrive, slept in the front seat.
What the owner got in-stead, police say, was Mason Eubanks, mere hours after his release from the Clark County Jail, holding what appeared to be a weapon and demanding the vehicle.
Eubanks, police say, got the truck but didn’t get far.
Prosecutors on Jan. 30 formally charged the 22 year-old Sultan man with one count of theft of a mo-tor vehicle.
According to charging papers submitted by the Washington State Patrol, here is what happened.
The truck’s owner was eastbound on Highway 18 near the Auburn-Black Diamond Road that morn-ing when he ran out of gas.
He pulled to the shoulder, called his father for help and, waiting, fell asleep.
A knock on the window, according to court papers, awakened the owner to an ugly demand from a man holding what the owner believed to be a gun.
“Get out of the vehicle, or I will blow your brains out,” the man snarled, according to court papers.
The owner left the truck, gave the keys to the man, walked away and called 911, keeping an eye on the thief, according to court papers.
In court papers, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jason Rittenreiser wrote that Eubanks started the victim’s truck and drove it down the road about 100 yards before it stopped again. Eubanks then got out and walked away as his victim stayed on the line with police. A King County Sheriff ’s Officer later found Eubanks walk-ing along Highway 18.
According to charging
papers, while Eubanks sat in the back of the deputy’s vehicle, he told a trooper that “he had been hitch-hiking from Vancouver,” was “trying to get home to Snohomish County,” and that he “had been released from Clark County Jail” at 10 p.m. the previous day.
When the trooper asked Eubanks why he had wanted the truck, at first he allegedly responded that he “saw the truck with the lights on.” But when the trooper repeated the ques-tion, Eubanks answered, “What truck?,” followed by an admission that he had “some booze” in him, ac-cording to court papers.
As police subsequently learned, according to court papers, Eubanks and a friend had stolen a vehicle from the friend’s aunt in Vancouver and driven it to Auburn before getting in-volved in a hit and run near 148th Avenue Southeast, where they abandoned it.

Sentencing for ‘Red Cloud’ moved to Feb. 28STaFF RepoRTS
Last Friday’s scheduled sentencing of confessed mur-derer Bradley Courville has been continued to 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center.
“The defense attorney was out sick,” said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office.
Courville, 25, pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon en-hancement. Courville, who goes by the nickname “Red Cloud,” faces a range of 15 to 23 years in prison.
At about 1:18 a.m. on Dec. 24, 2012, Auburn police found 26-year-old Quinn Oliver dead at a home in the 4000 block of Auburn Way South. A woman at the residence told police that be-fore Oliver died, he had staggered inside and said that “Red Cloud” had stabbed him. Courville told police that the victim called him a name and he reacted by stab-bing him multiple times.
Courville also pleaded guilty to third-degree assault for assaulting an Auburn police officer after his arrest.
Prosecutors are expected to recommend that Courville spend 19 years in prison.

REALTORS urge yes vote on technology levy for Auburn schoolsG U e S t e D I t O R I A L

REALTORS® voted to join other supporters of a Technology Capital Projects Levy for the Auburn School District, not only by unani-mous endorsement of the proposal, but also by pledging assistance for a “get-out-the-vote” campaign for the Feb. 11 election.
The funding request, for six
years, replaces a 2005 levy and follows recommendations of a 40-member Citizens Ad Hoc Com-mittee.
“Realtors know first-hand about the value of good schools and technology,” said Larry Chris-tensen, the 2014 president of Seattle KingCounty REALTORS® (SKCR),
in announcing the endorsement. That endorsement followed a presentation about the measure and discussion with members of the as-sociation’s Governmental & Public Affairs Committee.
The district’s committee deter-mined the levy is necessary to bring 21st Century learning tools into the
classroom. “Technology will be integral to
administration and teaching and learning to prepare all students for career, college, and life beyond high school,” the report said.

Time for an upgrade, support the tech levy
As a parent, a PTA president and a volunteer for the Auburn School District, I am writing to encourage Auburn voters to support the tech levy on the Feb. 11 ballot.
I believe if you consider some of the numbers and facts involved in the context of computer technology today, you will agree that this levy is worth supporting.
The last tech levy approved by Auburn voters was in 2005. To put this in some perspec-tive, a typical desktop com-puter purchased in 2005 may have come with a 100-gigabyte (GB) hard drive. The laptop computer used to create this document has a hard drive with more than 400 gigabytes of storage. Few households these days have a computer or video game device that is more than nine years old.
Chances are some of you are
reading this on a mobile device that is far newer and has more teaching potential than the computer equipment in our children’s classrooms.
Without the levy, the district will fall even further behind in its distribution and use of technology.
Another important fact: this money will go toward replacing existing equipment,
upgrading software, covering the costs of online services and much-needed professional development. Money from the tech levy will not pay salaries for district employees.
These tech levies are about our students and their everyday experiences in the classroom. Students benefit from a learning environment that takes them beyond dated textbooks.
Teachers bring new dimen-sions to their lessons through the use of tools like interac-tive white boards and online services.
In addition, not all students learn in the same way or at the same pace. Access to function-ing computers and tablets with current software and apps allows teachers to tailor lessons to fit students’ needs.
All students can progress in their learning when individu-als with different needs are ac-commodated in the classroom.– Michelle Rylands
Things turn nasty in Olympia over climate change
Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and Repub-lican Sen. Curtis King may have set down their poison pens but are no closer to forging agreement on a transportation funding pack-age.
Their exchange of stinging missives last week on low-carbon fuel standards contin-ues to punctuate negotiations and imperil chances of a bipartisan deal getting inked this session.
King, chairman of the Senate Transporta-tion Committee, is convinced Inslee will wait until lawmakers depart Olympia in March
then unilaterally impose tougher standards for the level of carbon allowed in fuel sold to motorists.
He insists this will drive up the price of gas, and he wants the governor to cat-egorically deny he would act in such a manner.
Inslee unquestionably views a low-carbon standard as a mechanism for developing cleaner fuels and a critical weapon in the fight against climate change which he’s made a signature issue in his first term.
But he said he’s not discussed adopting any specific standard nor proposed anything re-sembling what King calls a “carbon fuel tax.” In other words, there is nothing up his sleeve and thus nothing to deny.
What sparked the vitriolic scrap, especially when it seemed the sticking points between the House, Senate and governor were on things like what to do with the sales tax on road projects and the amount of money going to transit districts?
It is the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy signed in October by the governors of California, Oregon and Wash-ington, and the premier of British Columbia.
As documents go, this is a fine specimen of political speak, an iteration of lofty promises and an escape clause for leaders not to keep them.
In one section it says, “Washington will set binding limits on carbon emissions and de-

ploy market mechanisms to meet those limits.” Translat-ed, that’s a pledge for a cap-and-trade system, which is a very divisive issue in the
Legislature.In another part on reduc-
ing greenhouse gas emis-sions from vehicles, it reads “Oregon and Washington will adopt low-carbon fuels standards.”
No surprise King and his colleagues are inflat-ing much import to those words to keep the governor on the defensive about his intentions and derail any attempt at enacting new rules.
Inslee is doing what he can to deflate the sig-nificance of what he signed,
saying repeatedly there’s no proposals drafted and none will be pursued before studies are done and public hearings held.
Moreover, the pact itself seems to bolster his case by concluding with a clear statement that nothing in it is “legally binding” on Washington.
That disclaimer isn’t proving to be a calming influence in Olympia, where already slim chances of reaching an accord on a transportation funding package worsen as long as there are unresolved differ-ences between Inslee and King.
Ironically, moving
forward on a package is the one thing both men agreed upon in the nasty letters they sent each other.

Support the school levy, not the tech levy
This letter is in opposition to the Auburn School District’s February technology levy. The levy raises $22 million to, among other things, pro-vide a “laptop/tablet for every student.”
I need to ask why every kindergar-ten student would need a tablet or laptop? And how often do we expect these devices to break? Can most 9-year-olds really be trusted not to drop and break a laptop? What skills can we expect a 6-year-old to learn from a tablet that they won’t learn from a workbook?
I was part of the transitional gen-eration. In grade school in the early 1990s, we were learning the basics from textbooks and chalk boards. By high school, computer courses had become standard, as well as research on the Internet.
In spite of not having any computer education prior to seventh grade, I felt extremely well prepared for college and my career in engineering, which is entrenched in computer modeling, GIS research and electronic documentation.
Our educational system seems to be focusing too much on technology and not enough on the basics which are necessary to understand, build, and use that technology, such as math-ematics, science, language, and logic.
Our students would be better served by a school levy, which provides stu-dents with more one-on-one instruc-tional time, tutoring and smaller class
sizes. Computers are not a necessity for our youngest students, and do not become essentials until later in grade school, after they have mastered the basics in mathematics and reading.
Vote no on Auburn’s tech levy.– Adam Braun
Project brings more congestion, problems
The City actually brags about what will become a travesty on the old Cavanaugh lot. It brags about bringing 500 more people to live in downtown Auburn as well as new retail businesses.
Right now, those street areas are the most congested in Auburn. Between 4 and 6 p.m., it frequently takes 10 minutes to travel approximately seven blocks. And that’s without an addition-al 500 people plus retail businesses.
In the middle of all the bragging, where is the word about the develop-er’s responsibility for street improve-ments to withstand the additional traf-fic and congestion? The amphitheater was required at least to expand some of its affected roadways, but nothing, nada, zilch for the downtown project.
Fellow taxpayers, when we are raving mad from traffic congestion because our City does not look ahead, who will get stuck with the street upgrade costs? The developer (who was even gifted by the City with a post-purchase discount) after they are done building and maybe even sell to another company? Or us? If, as methinks the latter, we will not only be out the discount already given to the
developer, and be out millions for road improvement because the developer’s profits are sacrosanct, but also we get to experience two-four years of hor-rendously worse traffic congestion.
Yay, City of Auburn, you sure have a right to brag. This lack of planning is as good as the millions you spent on the fancy red street and “Welcome” sign down from City Hall. We all know what a critical problem that project resolved.– Lana Inez Zielinski

With no regard for the residents, small business owners, customers and employees of businesses in down-town Auburn, I was told by one of the officers that a directive to the park-ing patrol was issued from the “top” to patrol the Safeway parking lot on Wednesday (Jan. 22).
Chase bank was recently issued 16 parking spots, leaving little for the Auburn residents who frequent the numerous businesses downtown. Of the 16 spots that Chase Bank has, 14 were empty as well as eight surround-ing its building.
Employees and customers, includ-ing senior citizens, were frantically moving their cars to different spots to avoid getting a ticket.
If this is the only solution that our elected officials can come up with, I need to remind them that they work for the residents of the city of Auburn.– Janina Coan

specialist for SKCR, noted the funding request encompasses infrastruc-ture, devices, professional development and support. He also said the committee did a thorough examina-tion of tax rates and costs to Auburn taxpayers as it considered options.
Pace said the quality of schools is often the first thing homebuyers ask about. “Buyers know that good schools not only help to define communities, they also support higher home values,” he com-mented, adding, “It’s not just families with school-age kids that are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home. Savvy buyers know that quality schools will be a factor in the sales price when it’s time to sell.”
In considering endorse-ment requests, Realtors look beyond statements of need, Christensen explained. Track records on academics and fiscal matters are also reviewed, he reported.
Auburn’s impressive
number of scholastic achievements and awards contributed to the favor-able endorsement, Chris-tensen said. High schools have doubled the number of students in Advanced Placement courses. Ad-ditionally, in the past two years schools have accu-mulated 31 Washington State Academic Awards and National Title Awards, plac-ing the district among the top 5 percent of academic achievement and top 10 percent in improvement statewide.
Realtors praised the Auburn district for of-fering comprehensive curriculum for its increas-ingly diverse population and for initiatives to close “preparation gaps” among students. “School districts need to be mindful of employability standards,” Christensen stated, add-ing, “Auburn is address-ing diverse needs with advanced placement and honors courses, career and technical education, and basic skills classes.”
If approved, the technol-ogy levy would enable Au-burn to use digital tools to
support its focus on high-yield strategies for learning. Along with providing tools and technology for 24/7 access to curriculum and coursework for students, parents and teachers, the funds would enable a ro-bust broadband infrastruc-ture, plus enhancements for safety and security.
With passage of the levy, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate would remain level. It is estimated to be $6.62 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2014 and $6.60 for the following year.
Bellevue Realtor Mi-chael Orbino, a member of SKCR’s Governmental & Public Affairs Committee and a mentor in the Bel-levue School District, com-mented on the importance of quality schools.
“Supporting school levies
is not a matter of altruism – it’s economics,” he said.
Pace, in his role as a housing specialist, reviews research on the relationship between home values and schools. Among several reports, he cited a January 2013 study published by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF), which found that overall school quality, as measured by test scores, is positively related to the price of housing.
Collateral Analytics, a Honolulu firm that special-izes in analyzing real estate data for financial institu-tions and investors, has examined connections between schools and home values. The company con-cluded that during housing downturns, “areas with exceptional schools tend to hold their value better than
the market overall.” More-over, homes associated with great schools generally sell faster, in good markets and bad, according to company president Michael Sklarz.
David Crowell, SKCR’s director of governmental and public affairs, said recommendations on school funding measures, such as Auburn’s, require a formal request from district officials, campaign representatives, or a Real-tor member.
At the December meet-ing of the Governmental & Public Affairs Committee, the association was asked to consider requests from six districts, an unusually high number, according to Crowell.
“One of the core values of our diverse and active membership is protecting
and improving the quality of life in our area,” Crowell said. “High-quality schools are an integral part of that, and a concern in every neighborhood we serve, so Realtors are keenly interested in creating and maintaining top-notch schools.”

delivery, exchange or bartering” of recreational and medical mari-juana from submitting business license applications.
After voting unanimously to move ahead with the ordinance at its regular meeting Monday, the council made the first reading of the ordinance during a special meeting at City Hall on Thursday.
A second reading is scheduled during a special meeting at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3, after which the coun-cil could vote on whether to adopt the ordinance. Public comment is allowed during the hearings.
According to Mayor Leanne Guier, the ordinance would buy the City more time to figure out how to deal with the coming influx of marijuana-related busi-nesses.
“Based on legal advice that we had received, it’s in the best inter-ests of the City to move forward with an ordinance,” Guier said. “By canceling the moratorium, we’re going to move forward with a special meeting regarding the ordinance, where the public can comment before the council votes on the ordinance.”
The ordinance is expected to better defend the City against any
possible litigation from potential marijuana businesses seeking to open up in Pacific.
The City had previously con-templated extending the morato-rium already in place – and set to expire Feb. 12 – but has cancelled the Feb. 3 public hearing on the issue, choosing instead to enact an ordinance.
The move follows hard on the heels of an opinion released Jan. 16 by the office of State Attorney General Bob Ferguson that leaves cities and counties free to decide whether to ban pot businesses.
“Under Washington law, there is a strong presumption against
finding that state law preempts lo-cal ordinances,” the opinion states. “Although Initiative 502 estab-lishes a licensing and regulatory system for marijuana producers, processors, and retailers in Wash-ington State, it includes no clear indication that it was intended to preempt local authority to regu-late such businesses. We therefore conclude that I-502 left in place the normal powers of local gov-ernments to regulate within their jurisdictions.
“While I-502’s drafters could have structured I-502 to require local governments to accept mari-juana businesses, they did not
do so. If the Legislature wants to change that, it can amend the law,” the opinion concludes.
In 2012 55 percent of Washing-ton voters made it legal to sell and possess marijuana in the state.
The two medical marijuana businesses – Pacific Green Col-lective and Chronic Solutions – already open in Pacific won’t be affected by the ordinance.
More than 19 applications to open marijuana businesses in Pacific have been received by the Washington State Liquor Board, which oversees the implementa-tion of I-502.

Newman praised Lydig Construction as “an excep-tional” contractor that does “amazing work” with its subcontractors. The upshot is that the project is time and on budget.
That means the new high school should be ready to welcome its first contingent of students this fall.
“It’s kind of the fun thing when you’re mid in a project,” Newman said. “If you think back to a year ago, we hadn’t even flipped any dirt, and now we’ve
got a 3-story building there, and in another eight months, we’ll have kids in the building with teachers and classrooms.”
District voters cast 18,678 yes votes in No-vember 2012 to approve the $110 million construc-tion bond on its third try.
One of the selling points then was that when the school opens in September at its new site facing East Main Street, nobody will have to shiver any longer in a drafty, 63-year-old building at the mercy of an unreliable, geezer boiler.
Auburn will then be
able to boast of four modern high schools, all high quality, up-to-date facilities, “where the will of the people,” Superin-tendent Kip Herren has stressed, not the ZIP code, determines just how good those schools are.
Students will then have access to classroom tech-nologies, modern science labs, a new commons area for student activities such as after-school clubs and multicultural fairs, and increased safety, all in one building under one roof with only two points of entry.

On Feb. 11, the Auburn School District sets a $22 million technology replacement levy before voters.
The levy provides six years of funding to take recommendations made by the 2013 Technology Citizens Ad Hoc Committee and set them in motion. It replaces the 2005 technology levy.
Auburn School District Deputy Superin-tendent Mike Newman said that if the levy passes, local taxpayers’ projected school tax rate would remain level.
“Our 2005 levy is over, so now it’s time to renew that levy,” Newman said.
The overall cost, Newman said, is no new taxes on the citizens. For example, on a $200,000 home, the school tax projected for the next year would be $1,320, and of that the technology levy would be $84.
“What we try to do across all the differ-ent propositions that we take before the voters to fund school levies is try to keep that tax rate as level as we possibly can. This one steps down two cents per thousand dollars of assessed value. So the actual levy piece to pay for this, we’re taking away 44 cents by retiring bonds and a reduction in the stepping down that we did in our plan-ning for the capital levy that was passed in 2009. This fills that piece back in so that we’re able to do the technology levy over the next six years.”
Here’s what district voters may expect for
their dollars.• 24/7 access to electronic resources for
students, parents and teachers that allows for differentiation of learning, programs and support
• Targeted 1:1 student device access rolled out during the course of the levy
• Wireless access in all buildings• Technology enhancements for safety
and security• Digital devices for students and teach-
ers to enhance high-yield strategies in the classroom
• Digital tools for teachers to use avail-able Learning Management Systems and electronic educational resources
• A comprehensive, embedded Digital Literacy and Citizenship K-12 curriculum
• Technology to facilitate group com-munication and collaboration learning by students, staff and administrators
Passage requires a simple majority plus one.
If voters don’t pass the levy this go around, Newman said, kids won’t have ac-cess to world-class tools. He said the board in that event would have to consider run-ning the levy again.
“My guess is, knowing the passion that’s behind it, the board would want to run it again,” Newman said. “But what I’m hearing is that people are excited that we’re moving in this direction, the direction of providing high-yield strategies for kids’ learning.”

On Jan. 31 the Jazz and Jokes in January show – fea-turing the music of guitarist Michael Powers – swings into the Auburn Avenue Theater.
Powers, a Northwest-based musician who has released 14 CDs, including his latest “Passport”, has been playing guitar for more than 30 years.
“I graduated from high school early, I was 15,” Powers said. “And that summer I spent a lot of time skateboarding. I was really good at it down in the San Francisco area. I was com-ing around a corner and hit a patch of gravel — the skateboard stopped, and I kept going.”
The fall shattered his left wrist, forced him into a cast and subjected him to months of painful rehab, effectively ending his skate-boarding career.
Luckily, however, he found
something new to consume his time and energy.
“I was in the cast and I saw a film biography on Jimi Hendrix’s life and thought, ‘I’d love to play guitar,’” he said.
Powers began picking up a few pointers and tips from a friend who played, then moved on to master some actual Hendrix tunes.
“Then I went from emu-lating Hendrix to emulating Santana,” he said. “I also had a lot of rock/blues energy with some different chord changes and things. Then one night I was watch-ing Santana on a music show called “The Midnight Special” and he played with some guy named George Benson with a huge guitar.”
The smooth, jazz sounds of Benson struck a chord in Powers, who soon fused Benson’s style with his own.
“I’d already gotten a blues base from Hendrix and San-tana, and now my jazz base from Benson,” Powers said.
The defining moment of
his career came at age 17, however, after he moved to Federal Way.
“I was working at the Federal Way Senior Center, helping seniors,” he said. “I played guitar at the senior center when I could. When the funding for that program ran out, I found I was per-fectly qualified to do a job
that no longer existed.”Powers took advantage of
the chance to devote more time to honing his guitar skills.
“I realized that was my chance, and after I went on interviews I would play eight hours a day,” he said.
Soon he was proficient enough to eke out a living.
Powers continued to master his instrument, attending Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where he earned a four-year music degree.
“I could play by ear, but I wanted to learn how to read and write music,” he said.
To this day Powers con-tinues to refine his sound.
On “Passport” he contin-ues his musical journey with a set of songs inspired by his geographical journeys.
“It celebrates my travels over the years,” he said. “I’ve been playing full-time professionally since 1985. It’s about my travels around the planet. It’s tunes I wrote. I wrote one about being in New York City, San Diego, Chicago, London, one in Amsterdam. Some of the other songs are cover tunes that are more about the conveyance of how to get there and what to do when you get there. Like “Ease On Down The Road”, which is a great travel song. Another is “Over the Rainbow” because that has a connection to
Hawaii for me. The songs are either about the places or how to get there, like In the Clouds which is about flying.”
Power said he plans to spend about one-third of his upcoming gig playing tunes from the new CD, dedicat-ing the rest to his extensive catalog.
“It’s going to be a nice theater show with music from throughout my career and comedy as that other element,” he said.
Michael Powers takes the stage at the Auburn Avenue Theater as part of Auburn’s BRAVO Performing Arts Series at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31. Tickets cost $17 for regular admission, $15 for students and seniors.

Auburn Riverside high schools, flew out Thursday to New York. They will make several promotional appearances before they perform on the sideline Sunday of Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey between the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.
The Sea Gals are only known in public by their first names for security reasons. But sit down for a short conversation with the cheerleaders and the outgo-ing personalities makes it easy to know them on a first-name basis.
“Being from Kent it means a lot to me that I get to represent the city of Kent at the Super Bowl,” says Geraldine, in her third year on the team. “A small town girl makes it out to the big-gest stage in the world.”
As many as 300 women try out each year for the Sea Gals. A spot on the current
squad doesn’t guarantee another season as everyone must audition each year in the spring.
All have dance back-grounds. Some are col-lege students and work part-time jobs. Others work full-time jobs. They practice two evenings a week at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, the training facility for the Seahawks. The Sea Gals perform at every home game at CenturyLink Field and do a variety of promo-tional appearances.
Zoe, an Auburn Riverside graduate and a Portland State University student, is one of a dozen rookies on the team. She commutes from Oregon for practices and games. She says it’s worth the drive.
“I’ve transformed as a dancer and a person,” Zoe says. “It teaches you more than dance. It teaches you how to model, how to pose, how to speak well and how to represent a community.
It makes you a well-round-ed super woman.”
Laura, a 2006 Kentridge graduate and 2010 Wash-ington State University graduate, returns as a vet-eran Sea Gal.
“It’s my fourth season, so I’ve kind of watched as (coach) Pete Carroll has come in and made this what it is,” Laura says. “I’m just so happy to be a small part of this organization.”
The Sea Gals aren’t al-lowed to talk about how much they are paid, but they are paid. Each also receives two season tickets to give to family or friends. They aren’t allowed to frat-ernize with players.
But there’s no doubt these women are having the time of their lives.
“Nothing beats the type of thrill and adrenaline you get on game day, espe-cially getting the chance to do it with some of the most amazing women I’ve ever met,” Jacqueline says. “My teammates are very
beautiful, very intelligent and kind. We’ve become really close friends, so on game days I look at my teammates and it makes the experience that much more exciting because I experi-ence it with them.”
They make their family and friends proud, too.
“I talked to my grandma and she started crying and she’s not an emotional
person,” Zoe says about the reaction of relatives to her Super Bowl trip. “For her to be, ‘I’m so proud of you,’ just felt really good.”
In addition to beauty and dance skills, it takes a certain kind of woman to make the Sea Gals.
“Everyone’s very humble, has a good sense of humor yet works very, very hard,” Laura says. “We all have
that in common.”They also know which
team will win.“We’re going to win for
sure,” Jacqueline says. “I have a very good feeling about this game and this team. It’s kind of been a very magical season. A lot of great things have hap-pened. I feel it’s finally our year to bring home that Lombardi trophy.”

Auburn Mountainview’s Competitive Cheer squad is headed to Florida to compete in the nationals on Feb. 8. COURTESY PHOTO
StAff reportS
Go, fight, win! Three words one com-
monly hears from cheer-leaders.
The Auburn Mountain-view High School Competi-tive Cheer squad will surely be voicing those very words on Saturday when it heads to the University of Wash-ington to compete at state.
After that, squad mem-bers compete on Feb. 8 in the National Competition in Orlando, Fla.
The 18-member squad, which is in the Non-tum-bling Co-ed division, has won every competition it has attended so far this year.
Shana Biggs is the head coach.
MVHS cheerleading is divided into two squads,
varsity and junior varsity. “Cheerleading isn’t just
an extra curricular activity, it’s our life,” says a message on the team’s webpage, mountainview.schoolloop.com/cheer. “This squad is about working hard, nail-ing stunts, putting on pep rallies, cheering at football games, basketball games, baseball games, and much more.
“We also go to many competitions and strive to be the best. We have late-night practices to show people what we are made out of. At the beginning the squad starts off as strangers, then we become friends, but at the end it turns into one big family. It’s an expe-rience of a lifetime that you don’t want to miss out on.”
Auburn Mountainview cheer team bounds to the national stage

“You always hope for the best,” she added. “But I like to be realistic and just do the best that I can and hope that my heart will get me there. And this time it did.”
Guyette finished out of the running in her two previous appearances in the Miss Auburn Scholarship Program, the largest of its kind in the country. But this go around, there would be no denying her.
“I came back much more mature and ready to take on the competition,” Guyette said. “You just keep going, keep trying. This is my third time. It doesn’t happen overnight. If you want it, go for it.”
Guyette outlasted 16 other contestants to capture the title, earning more than $7,600 in gifts, awards and scholarships after two nights of competition and automatically qualifying for the Miss Washington Pageant later this year. The Miss Auburn program, sponsored by the Auburn Noon Lions Club, is an official preliminary to the Miss Washington and Miss America scholarship pageants.
Guyette, an Auburn Riverside High School graduate, is a senior at the Uni-versity of Washington, pursuing degrees in dance and public health. An honors student, Guyette plans to earn a master’s degree in physical therapy, hoping later to specialize in helping patients, nota-bly dancers and athletes, recover from injuries.
Dancing is her passion. She began to dance when she was 3, and has since blos-somed into a gifted, accomplished per-former on the national level. She is also a ballroom dancing instructor at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Federal Way.
For her talent segment, Guyette performed a lyrical jazz dance to James
Morrison’s “You Make It Real.”“It spoke to me,” Guyette said of her
musical choice. “I thought the lyrics were beautiful, and I thought I could portray the song on stage.”
Her mother, Cecelia, couldn’t have been more proud.
“She’s my inspiration. She touches my heart every time she dances," said Cecelia.
Guyette competed on the platform, Heart Health and Women’s Cardiac Re-search. Auburn Chevrolet sponsored her. Haley Walker is her Little Sister.
De’Djuana Simpson was first runner-up, Jennifer Matson second runner-up, Morgan Warren third-runner-up and Alyssa Mesina fourth runner-up.
Vivian Dao, 13, a student at Olympic Middle School, won Miss Auburn’s Out-standing Teen crown, besting nine other contestants.
Evelyn Crisostomo was first runner-up, and Sylvia Jones was second runner-up.
“It feels so amazing to be able to repre-sent such beautiful and talented contes-tants. It feels so incredible. I still can’t believe it,” Dao said. “It’s a dream come true, something that I’ve prepared for for seven weeks now.”
Dao, daughter of Huong and John Dao, plays 10 instruments, piano being her favorite. She ran on the platform, Cyber Bullying, Throwing Punches Online. Her Little Princess is Amber Joss.
In addition to the awards, gifts and scholarship money, Dao qualifies for the Miss Washington Outstanding Teen competition.
Miss Auburn contestants were scored and judged the following way: private interview (on Jan. 18) 35 percent; lifestyle and fitness 10 percent; talent 35 percent; on-stage interview and evening wear 20 percent.

All the optimism crackling in the air for this one particular high school wrestling team seems a bit misplaced.
After all, Auburn Mountainview High School’s wrestling squad ended its regular season with an 0-6 South Puget Sound League 3A dual record.
Nevertheless, Auburn Mountain-view coach Adam France is high on his team as it heads into the post-season tourneys, which begin next Friday with the SPSL 3A sub-region-al tourney at Auburn Mountainview High School.
“We’re young but talented,” France said. “We feel like we’re at the begin-ning of a two or three year, pretty good cycle. We’re on the low end of it, but we’re pleased with a number of individuals.”
Last season the program struggled, moving only one wrestler – heavy-weight Dakota Weir – on to the Washington State Mat Classic cham-pionship tournament.
France expects a lot more this year.“I think we’ll take five-to-nine guys
to state,” he said. “We’ve got a couple guys that are right on the edge, that if they have the right tournament, can make it. We’ve got a couple guys in the middle that wouldn’t surprise me
if they do it, and won’t surprise me if they don’t. Then we have a handful of guys that should make it.”
Among the latter group is Weir, a 285-pound senior ranked No. 7 in

the state at 3A, according to the Washington Wrestling Report.
“It’s important having someone like him [a state participant] because no matter what you do as far as leading a team vocally, you have that status, which is good,” France said.
Also looking to move on to the state meet is 120-pound freshman Brahm Trujillo (ranked No. 2 in 3A), who competed in a national tournament over the summer.
“He’s been wrestling for quite a long time, so he’s got a lot of club experience with tourneys,” France said. “He can do some things dur-ing matches that other kids can’t just because he’s been in those situations so many times. He can slow down a match and control it when he needs to.”
France said he’s also hop-ing the team can move on 152-pound junior David Boone (ranked No. 9 in 3A) and 132-pound sophomore Joey Santos, who also com-peted in national tourna-ments last summer.
“The other thing that we haven’t had in a couple years is we’ve got three guys who competed in national
tournaments for the state,” France said. “Having that in the practice room is good too. That’s really been a good thing to fall back on — when they’re having success, they can show the other kids how they’re achieving success.”
Also on the cusp of mak-ing their presence felt in the postseason tournaments are 126-pound sophomore Dylan Foley, ranked No. 10 in the state 3A, and junior Zach Jones, a No. 11 ranked 170 pounder, whom France calls the team’s biggest surprise.
“He’s a wrestler who came to us as a freshman without a lot of experience,” France said.
France continued:“He’s not the smoothest
or most technical wrestler, but he’s got a great gas tank,”
France said. “You can never count him out of a match.”
This season, France said, Jones has stepped up, taking out five 3A- and 4A-ranked wrestlers in the regular season.
“We helped him change his view on competition and competing and figure out what he can expect of him-self,” France said. “Growing up, he kind of viewed him-self as that last-boy-picked-for-the-team-kind-of-kid. We had to help him visually see himself different.”
Jones, an alternate to re-gionals last year, agreed that it was all about changing the mental aspect.
“My mindset changed, my focus,” Jones said. “Last year I wasn’t quite where they wanted me to be, and I knew it. There was just one
thing that was missing, and I couldn’t figure it out. But I finally got my mindset right. They always were telling me about the fire in the belly, that drive to just do it. And this year I found that. I haven’t fully nailed it, I just keep trying to get it. Now I just try to focus on what I want to do to my opponent. I just come in wanting to kick my opponent’s butt.”
Jones added that he was he pleased with the progress his teammates have made.
“This team, this year espe-cially, I’ve noticed a change in all the guys,” Jones said. “All of us, especially the guys in my class, we all just de-cided to do it. Our freshman year we weren’t even ranked, we lost almost every dual. This year we came close with Enumclaw and placed well at tournaments. It’s really cool to see where we are now.”
Boone, who made it as far as regionals last year, said he was also pleased with the team’s progress.
“We’ve stepped up as a team, we’re able to compete with high caliber teams now,” Boone said. “This year there are a lot of guys that should make it to state. I feel like we have a pretty good chance of placing as a team at state, if the guys all work hard.”

Emerald Downs Presi-dent Ron Crockett was rec-ognized with one of Seattle’s most prestigious awards on Jan. 22 at Benaroya Hall.
Crockett was the win-ner of the 2013 Paul Allen Sports Citizen Award, given annually to an individual who has made a significant or compelling philanthropic contribution.
In addition to saving the state’s Thoroughbred
racing industry by building Emerald Downs, Crockett is a longtime benefactor of Seattle Children's Hospital. He also played a leadership role in raising $50 million for the renovation of Husky Stadium.
Former University of Washington basketball star Quincy Pondexter, whom Crockett mentored during his four years with the Huskies, and 10-year-old granddaughter Lauren Slavin, introduced Crockett,
who received a standing ovation while making his way to the stage.
A video tribute offered congratulations from a diverse list of subjects, including UW athletic director Scott Wood-ward, Washington HBPA president Ron Maus, Husky tailback Deontae Cooper and officials from Seattle Children’s Hospital.
In accepting the award, Crockett thanked his wife, Wanda, and talked about
growing up and attending Renton High School and receiving the McCurdy Scholarship that enabled him to attend UW, where he earned a degree in me-chanical engineering.
Crockett later founded and owned Tramco, which performs maintenance and modification of airliners, growing the company from five employees in 1970 to 2,500 employees by the time he sold it in 1988.
Crockett believes in philanthropy, and as a strong supporter of the UW scholarship program, gives back to his alma mater.
“I attribute my success to my early environment and heredity, thanks to my par-ents for that, and school-ing,” Crockett said. “Your greatest asset is your health, take care of that.”
Other winners were: filmmaker Warren Miller (Keith Jackson Award); Zack Lystedt (Seattle Chil-dren’s Hospital Inspira-tional Youth Award); and
longtime WSU baseball coach Bobo Brayton (Royal Brougham Legends Award).
UW Volleyball player Krista Vansant was voted Female Sports Star of the Year, Seahawks quarter-
back Russell Wilson was voted Male Sports Star of the Year, and the Eastlake Little League team of Sam-mamish won the Sports Story of the Year.

The ex- pansion will include approxi- mately 53,760 square feet of new
office space; 10,320 square feet of new warehouse space, and 22,955 square feet of new shop area. It will also include new paved parking areas, landscap- ing, water and sewer service extensions to each building as needed, along with other fran- chise utility coordination. One existing building will be demol- ished. All new stormwater runoff will be routed to the existing stormwater facility which has been sized to accommodate the Gordon Trucking facility and which was reviewed under a pre- vious SEPA application and Stormwater Permit. The City will execute and approve a De- velopment Agreement with the Applicant to allow for the vesting of the development rights of the 10-year Master Site Develop- ment Plan.SEPA MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE:The Lead Agency for this propo- sal has determined that this project does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment as conditioned. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C. 030(2)(c). This deci- sion was made after review of a complete environmental check- list and other information on file with the lead agency. The infor- mation is available to the public upon request. This Mitigated Determination of Non-signifi- cance is issued under 197-11-350; the lead agency will not act on this proposal for twen- ty-one (21) calendar days from the date of publication.MITIGATION MEASURES:To offset potential adverse envi- ronmental impacts, the applicant will implement the following mitigation measures:Earth.1. Gordon Trucking will obtain a Department of Ecology Gener- al Permit to discharge Stormwa- ter associated with construction activity, if required.2. The project will comply with the City of Pacific requirements for erosion and sediment control plans (ESC). These measures may include structural BMPs (silt fences, straw bale barriers, and sediment ponds) and non- structural BMPs (planning and design, routine inspection and maintenance).3. A Geotechnical Engineering study will be required prior to obtaining building permits. All work will be implemented con- sistent with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Engineering study.Air.1. Watering the ground will oc- cur as needed before and during site construction activities to control dust particles. Vehicles that are not being used in con- struction activities will be shut off.Water.1. The project will convey new stormwater to the existing ap- proved storm drainage system in accordance with the City of
Pacific’s drainage requirements in effect at the time of the project application.2. All work shall be implement- ed consistent with the SEPA Mit- igation Measures and permit re- quirements for the recently con- structed Gordon Trucking storm- water facility.Environmental Health.1. To control environmental health hazards, the proposed ex- pansion shall be included in the Spill Prevention Control and Counter Measure (SPCC) plan for the Gordon Trucking facility.Noise.1. Measures to control noise im- pacts include limiting construc- tion activity hours to between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday (City of Pacific Municipal Code Section 9.26.050(A)(8)(a)).2. To mitigate general noise im- pacts during the construction phases, measures such as locat- ing stationary equipment away from receiving properties, limit- ing construction hours to avoid sensitive nighttime hours, turning off idling construction equip- ment, requiring contractors to maintain all equipment, and training construction crews to avoid unnecessarily loud actions near noise-sensitive areas should be employed.Light and Glare.1. Building and parking lot lighting shall be shielded and directed downward to reduce glare and avoid light spillage to adjacent properties.Historic and Cultural Preservation.1. If cultural or archeological objects are found during site preparation work, the Washing- ton State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be notified, and appropriate meas- ures will be taken. PUBLIC HEARING:The Pacific City Council held a public hearing on January 27, 2014.COMMENT/APPEAL PERIOD:Any interested person may com- ment on the issuance of the Mit- igated Determination of Non-sig- nificance (MDNS) no later than 5:00 PM, February 14, 2014.

Auburn grad Epperson reaches 800 wins as Skagit Valley College coach
Steve Epperson, a 1969 Auburn High School graduate who lives in Stanwood, recently reached the 800-win plateau as coach of the Skagit Valley College
women’s basketball program. He attained the milestone with a
102-71 victory over South Puget Sound Community College on Dec. 20.
Epperson has been the coach of the SVC women’s team since 1977. He has led the Cardinals to 25 seasons of 20-plus wins. In that span, the Cardinals have won 20 NWAACC North Region
titles and four conference champion-ships.
SVC Foundation alumni and friends team up with the SVC Athletic Department to host a celebration of Epperson’s accomplishment on Sat-urday. The Cardinals’ game begins at 4 p.m. and includes a presentation honoring Epperson at halftime.
Game tickets are $2 per person. A free reception between the
men’s and women’s games is at 5:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room, which is in the Gary Knutzen Cardinal Center.
The event is open to all.For more information, visit

New guidelines for taking cho-lesterol-lowering medication were recently released by the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
These new guidelines bring prescribing recommendations into the 21 century. They modify a recommendation that centered on the Framingham Heart study (dating back to 1948).
What are the new guidelines?They are recommendations
for assessing, measuring and treating cholesterol levels with a statin medication (i.e., lovastatin, simvastatin, pravochol). Now
risk factors are directly factored into the decision (calculation) to begin this type of medication.
Risk factors like high blood pressure, weight, age, smoking, family his-tory of heart disease and the diagnosis of diabetes become significant.
Certainly, if an individual already has heart disease or diabetes, they should already be on a statin. Rather, these new guidelines focus on decreasing the development of heart disease in healthy individuals, especially those ages 40 to 75, whose choles-terol values may be normal. Using a table established by the AHA
and ACC, if your 10-year risk assessment is 7.5 percent or higher, statin treatment should be considered.
Criticism over these new guide-lines are valid, as statins should not be
prescribed for everyone. Clinical judgment, along with a review of individual risks, should be reviewed by your doctor.
Certainly lifestyle changes are still important as a first step: blood pressure, weight control, healthy diet and regular exercise. However, if your calculated 10-year risk assessment is 7.5 percent or higher, a strong consideration
to begin statin therapy should be considered.
A major concern is that these new recommendations will over-estimate people needing prescrip-tion treatment, putting more than 31 million people on medication. However, we have a major health epidemic in this country. At this time, one in three adults will die of a heart attack, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
If lifestyle changes are not effective in a reasonable pe-riod of time to lower a personal calculated risk, statin treatment should strongly be considered to potentially avoid a shortened life expectancy.
Prevention is really the focus and pure intention of these new prescribing guidelines, not making pharmaceutical companies more wealthy. The decision to begin statin therapy should be done on a case-by-case basis, as these are just recommendations, not rules.
The decision to take a statin medication is truly an individual investment, financially and physi-cally, with no absolute guarantee of long-term outcome and results.

Michael J. Ulissey, MD, medical director and vice president of the Breast Di-agnostic Centers of Auburn and Federal Way, will be inducted into the American College of Radiology as a Fellow, one of the highest honors the ACR can bestow on a radiologist.
ACR Fellows must demonstrate a long history of ser-vice, teaching and research before they are nominated.
Dr. Ulissey’s innovative work in the medical field includes speaking interna-tionally about the early de-tection of breast cancer and being a previous director of the large University of Tex-as/Parkland Hospital Breast Cancer Center in Dallas. He also received
international accolades for a landmark research paper involving computer-aided detection of breast cancer in mammography.
Dr. Tim Blackwelder, breast imaging specialist and president of the Breast Diagnostic Centers, also par-ticipates in interna-tionally recognized research and was the founder for World Class CME, a renowned medi-
cal education organization for physicians.
Ulissey and Blackwelder are sub-specialists in the field dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer.
Demonstrating their leadership in innovation, in early 2012, Ulissey and Blackwelder installed the first 3D Mammography system in the region.
