Denesha Suhr

Pacific police arrest man for stabbing death of Pacific boyBy SHAWN SKAGER

The recent breakup between a 19-year-old man and his 16-year-old girlfriend, police say, appears to be what alledgedly pushed the man to kill his girlfriend’s younger brother last week in Pacific.

Brandon Suhr, an Algona resi-dent, allegedly stabbed to death 13-year-old Walter Denesha, 13, a seventh-grader at Mount Baker

Middle School, at the family’s apartment in the Cobble Court complex at 600 Ellingson Road on June 1.

Suhr is in custody at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on $1 million bail on suspicion of first-degree murder. He also is looking at first-degree

kidnapping and residential bur-glary charges for allegedly forcing the teen girl to leave the apartment with him against her will and for stealing three Japanese swords from the apartment Denesha shared with his sister and mother.

According to probable cause documents obtained from the King County Prosecutor’s office, Suhr got into the apartment by climb-ing to a second-floor balcony and breaking a window screen.

Once inside, Suhr later confessed to police, he grabbed a knife and stabbed Denesha several times. The King County Medical Examiner’s

Cy Sun’s recent sacking of John Calkins as Pacific’s chief of police has coun-cilmembers questioning the mayor’s communications with them.

“Our city has totally unraveled. I’ve never seen a situation like this before,” said Councilman Clint Steiger, who has served on the council for 15 years off-and-on. “Our attorney has never seen anything like this

before. Our insurance company has never seen anything like this. It’s just completely unraveled.”

The con-troversy cen-

At a recent meeting of Auburn leaders and the King County District Court, City officials estimated that the $3.8 million the City paid into the misdemeanant SCORE jail

in Des Moines in 2010 could swell to $7.1 million by 2013.

Determined to avoid an increase like that, City leaders have been eyeballing cost-cutting measures.

So far, so good, says Auburn Municipal Court Judge Pat

Burns.What puzzles the judge,

however, is why City leaders have trained their eyeballs on Auburn’s Municipal Court.

Why, Burns asks, are Au-burn’s leaders talking about

Office on Tuesday con-firmed Denesha’s identity and listed the cause of death as multiple stab wounds.

Court documents claim that Denesha’s older sister saw Suhr stab her brother and ran to help him, then struggled with her ex-boy-friend for 10-15 minutes before he choked and subdued her.

The teen girl added that she watched her brother crawl off the bed and into the hallway, where he died.

Suhr then allegedly forced her to take a shower and scrawl a note on the family’s bulletin board that said, “Mom I’m leaving and I’ve killed (Denesha), Don’t look for me and I’ll finish the job.”

In his confession, Suhr told police that they then stuffed Denesha’s body into a closet and he forced the boy’s older sister to leave with him, threatening to kill her if she didn’t. He also allegedly took three swords from the apartment, discarding one on the way to a home in Algona.

At 3:02 a.m. Denesha’s parents placed a 911 call to Pacific police after they returned home to find their

children missing, blood in the house and the note.

Police found the boy’s body in the closet.

At 3:24 a.m. Suhr’s moth-er called police to tell them that her son had showed up at home – in the 300 block of Pacific Avenue in Algona, less than two miles from the crime scene – with the teen girl and told her he had “harmed” Denesha. Suhr’s mother added that the girl told her that “Bran-don killed my brother and kidnapped her,” according to court documents.

Police later arrested Suhr after a brief standoff at a home in the 200 block of 2nd Avenue North in Algona. The girl was trans-ported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Suhr’s Facebook page lists him as a 2011 graduate of Auburn Riverside High School, but hints at a dark side.

Quotations on the page reference the “left-handed path” associated with “black magick,” the occult and Satan worship. In addition, Suhr posted on the website www.vampirefreaks.com as MasterDante666.

A few days before his alleged killing of Denesha, Suhr posted a novelty “Li-

cense to Kill” certificate on the page, captioning it “Got it to day so don’t ---- with me bitches.”

Prior to Suhr’s alleged killing of Denesha, the 16-year-old girl asked her mother about obtaining a no-contact order, according to the prosecutor’s docu-ments.

KOMO News has report-ed that police investigated Suhr last month for alleg-edly displaying a weapon, for disorderly conduct and for threats to do harm.

At the crime scene in Pacific last Friday, Byron Kidder, a neighbor, talked to reporters about his buddy.

“He was a really good friend of mine for several years from school,” said Kidder, a sixth-grader at Mount Baker. “We spent several hours at his house playing video games and having Nerf gun wars. He was a really sensible person and a really good percus-sion player. There is just a lot of talent wasted.”

The White River Valley Lions have set up memorial fund in Denesha’s honor. Donations to help the family with expenses may be made at any Columbia Bank.

The Undy 5000 5K Run/Walk to fight colon cancer comes to Emerald Downs on June 30.

Participants are en-couraged to run in their underwear as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the area affected by colon cancer.

The race starts at 9 a.m.“Last year, we had sev-

eral hundred participants run, which included over 10 colon cancer survivors,” said Todd Setter, National Undy 5000 event director. “We know this year will be better than last, and we hope we have tons more survivors, since that’s what this event is all about, after

all – early detection and surviving.”

The Seattle-Tacoma Undy 5000 features the Colon Cancer Alliance’s (CCA) Inflatable Colon, which is a giant, walk-through colon that shows the various stages of colon cancer, including descrip-tions about Crohn’s disease and Colitis.

The Undy 5000 is held in 16 cities throughout the country this year to edu-cate the public about colon cancer, promote screen-ings and encourage people to talk about the disease.

Instead of race day T-shirts, all registered

participants receive a com-memorative pair of Undy 5000 boxers.

It is a family-friendly event open to all ages.

In addition to the 5K, there is a one-mile fun run.

Registration fees are $30 advance, $40 race day for 5K Adult (14 and older) and $25 advance, $35 race day for 5K Youth (6-13). The one-mile fun run (all ages, Children 5 and younger are free) costs $20 in advance, $30 on race day.

Despite the rancor that marks American politics these days, despite the partisan scuffles and petty squabbling all around, State Sen. Joe Fain, will tell you that he hasn’t lost a drop of enthusiasm for the job that the people of the 47th Legislative District elected him to do two years ago.

Quite the opposite, said Fain.“I like it more than I thought I

would,” Fain said during a recent swing through his South King County legislative district.

Fain is a practitioner of the that much maligned word, bipartisan-ship. He believes in putting politics aside to get things done.

“If you don’t work across the aisle when you are in the minority, you will never get anything done, and if you don’t reach across the aisle when you are in the majority, you set a ticking time bomb that’s going to explode,” Fain said.

During a sit-down with the Au-burn Reporter, Fain talked about some of the good, the bad and the ugly that marked the recent legisla-tive session.

Among the transportation traffic infrastructure projects that survived the final transportation budget were Fain’s top priorities for South King County, including the completion of the Federal Way I-18 triangle project and $3 million for the State Route 509 extension between I-5 and State Route 167. And while in the end lawmak-ers found enough money to keep those projects breathing, even in the grip of the economic down-turn, mere respiration doesn’t physically move things along.

“Mostly it was just to keep programs on life-support as a priority for our community,” Fain

said. “There was a continuation of the same level of funding for the completion of State Route 167-Port of Tacoma, which is an abso-lutely key corridor for South King County, and for Kent in particular. There was a cost savings because of a contractor bid on the north-ern portion of 405. There was $45 million for the 167-405 interchange project. But anyone who drives 167-405 this time of day knows that we don’t yet have a solution.”

As for government sustainabil-ity, Fain said, despite the hackles raised when three Democrats broke ranks to vote with Republi-cans at the midnight hour to pass the budget, the result was positive.

“That was a tense couple of days, and certainly a tense evening when Republicans took control of the floor,” Fain recalled. “But for all the acrimony and hurtful things that were said on the floor of the Senate that night … it was three Democrats and the rest of the Re-publicans voting ‘yes’ and all rest of Democratic caucus voting ‘no’ on all the bills that were brought up. After that evening, with the work that was put in, and the compro-mises made, and the good faith effort on both sides, we were able to find common ground.”

Fain said that the legislative process worked the way it was sup-posed to work, compromise was forced, and the upshot was that the state took another step toward a more sustainable budget. The original budget as proposed, Fain noted, would have been “out of whack by about a billion or more just next year.”

Fain also cited progress in education, including a budget that after two years of substantial reductions to K-12 and higher education made it through the grinder without those cuts.

“It’s a real step forward for public schools,” Fain said. “There was also a step forward for those who believe we need a more robust evaluation system for our teach-ers, and that pure seniority-based decisions on hiring, retention and transferring are not the most effective way to hire and promote professionals in the classroom. Yes, there is a role for that, but there is also a role for student achieve-ment, a role for evaluation, a role for other factors.”

As for the economy, Fain said, the state must get its spending under control first if it is to turn things around.

“Just looking at how to get more revenue doesn’t address the prob-lem. Maybe our spending curve is too steep. Unless we address that problem first, why should voters and the public, at a time when they are hurting, trust us with more of their money? And it is their money. That has been a priority that a bipartisan group in the Sen-ate has been trying to accomplish,” Fain said.

Part of the solution, Fain con-tinued, must include a relaxation of regulations such as “redundant filing requirements,” that he said

impede small businesses and make Washington an unattractive cli-mate to set up shop for companies the state would like to woo.

“In terms of what the State can do on economic recovery, there have been more and more studies coming out that show how Wash-ington is becoming less and less an attractive place to start a small business in particular. Obviously, we’ve got a B&O tax system that can be harmful for small upstarts, while larger companies have found an ability to work within the system. The majority of Washing-tonians work in small businesses, the majority of wealth is created by small business, but that doesn’t work if you don’t have a climate that can sustain a robust economy,” Fain said.

Despite a sometimes bumpy ride, Fain explained what keeps him going.

“People ask me why in the world would anyone want to do this with all the name calling and acrimony. But what you don’t hear about and don’t see is all these folks who work together with a lot of humor and respect and a good focus on what is best for the community. Then, it’s fun,” Fain said.

The City of Auburn will lower the speed limits on several key ar-terials to keep drivers safe, they say, from the fallout of aging, deterio-rating street surfaces.

City Council members on Mon-day agreed to lower the speed limit on selected corridors as follows:

• 37th Street Northeast-North-west, from 40 to 30 mph;

• From the south city limits to the intersection of Lakeland Hills Way and East Valley Highway, to 30 mph; and from that point north to 37th Street to 35 mph, for consis-

tency within both segments.The City will also increase the

number of 35-mph speed limit signs along Lake Tapps Parkway.

Reductions already in the pipe-line are as follows:

• West Main Street between West Valley Highway and the Interurban Trail — from 45 to 35 mph;

• West Valley Highway between 15th Street Northwest and West Main Street – from 40 to 35 mph;

• 37th Northeast and Northwest, between Auburn Way North and West Valley Highway – from 40 to 30 mph.

“This is for safety reasons,” City Engineer Dennis Selle told a recent

meeting of the Public Works Com-mittee.

“Speed is not going to change the deterioration of the pavement,” Selle added. “The amount of the trucks and the loading of the trucks is by far the overwhelming factor in the deterioration of the pavement.”

The City is also talking about setting the weight limit for trucks to 15 tons and allowing only local deliveries inside the City. The goal there, City leaders say, would be to preserve deteriorating roads as long as possible from wear and tear caused by the large trucks.

Trucks found to be overweight would be in violation of City ordi-

nance.If there is a question about the

truck’s weight the usual procedure would be for the City to have the State Patrol bring in a scale to weigh the truck.

The recent defeat of the $59 mil-lion road reconstruction and main-tenance bond was not mentioned during the meeting, although Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis has pre-viously cited the City’s lack of funds to address problems on its aging arterials as a reason for lowering speed limits and setting new limits on truck weight.

council, Steiger said.On May 21, KOMONe-

ws.com broke the story. In a letter released to the news organization, Sun said that Calkins’ 2009 investigation for misconduct, as well as an outburst this year after a Jan. 17 council meeting, factored into his decision. He added that he was con-cerned about continuing “negative, unsatisfactory, damaging publicity for the

City of Pacific.”For Steiger, Councilman

Josh Putnam, and other members of the Pacific council, the story was the first they heard about the termination.

“I can’t speak for other members of the council, but personally I first heard about the chief ’s termi-nation after our May 21 council workshop, when KOMO broke the story,” Putnam said via email. “The mayor somehow neglected

to mention it in his May 21 report to council.”

Although the subject of firing Calkins, who had been on paid administra-tive leave since Jan. 17, had come up at a May 14 execu-tive session, Steiger said no decision was made.

“We went into executive session and the attorney explained the options, and the mayor didn’t respond to anything,” Steiger said.

Legally, according to Pacific’s municipal code, the mayor is within his rights to terminate the head of po-lice, an appointed position, without the consent of the city council.

Steiger and Putnam, however, said the termina-tion caught them complete-ly flat footed.

“It was no secret that the chief had been placed on an extraordinarily long administrative leave by the mayor,” Putnam said in an email. “And it’s true the council had repeatedly asked to be informed of the chief ’s status and the mayor’s intentions. But Chief Calkins was very defi-nitely not terminated by the

mayor and council at the May 14 Council meeting.”

Steiger added that he felt Sun handled the whole af-fair poorly.

“Number one, the first thing he should have done is actually talk to the man and personally explain his concerns,” Steiger said. “That should have been his first step. He’s never talked to him in person and let him work this out.”

Steiger added that, as far as he knew, there has been no face-to-face discus-sion between Mayor Sun and Calkins regarding his suspension and subse-quent firing. He noted that Calkins told him his official notification of being let go came courtesy of a letter.

“Before he (Calkins) got the letter, the mayor had al-ready released the informa-tion to the press,” he said.

Sun has not returned calls or emails requesting comment. He replied to a May 25 email request for more information regard-ing Calkins’ termination with, “No! I don’t want to talk about it.”

contracting court services to King County District Court, even though, he says, Auburn’s court isn’t respon-sible for the jail or its cost increases?

In their laudable zeal to cost costs, Burns argues, City leaders have wrongly conflated the rising costs of the SCORE jail with the separate issue of Auburn’s court. The Auburn court budget, Burns claims, hasn’t increased significantly in years.

“I do not understand why they are lumping our court in with this,” Burns said. “They are well aware that the court doesn’t operate the jail, never has operated the jail. I don’t ar-rest people, I’ve never arrested anybody. I’ve never investigated a crime. My job is to take a look at the people in jail and figure out what the circumstances are

to release them and get them out of jail.

“… I confess,” Burns added, “this is all confusing to me.”

Further flummoxing the judge is that the least expen-sive method of operating Auburn’s Municipal Court, he said, may save the City perhaps $600,000 or $700,000 but wouldn’t amount to even a third of the $3.25 million the City hopes to make up.

Burns said he believes that the City would better serve its residents by maintaining local control of the court, not con-tracting it out. He bases his case upon the court’s demonstrated sensitivity to the community it serves and a 50-percent drop in the crime rate evidenced over the last 10 years.

“What we have been doing with the Auburn court is focusing on getting people to change their behavior to get the crime rate down, and

we’ve been really successful with it,” Burns said.

Burns cited poverty rate and crime indexes – measures of the socio-economic vitality of a community – showing Auburn at the bottom, or close to it, of the scale in King County.

“When you look at the indices and the crime rate, you might figure it would be a dif-ficult thing to get control of the crime rate in a community like that,” Burns said. “But we’ve been able to get control of that. A big part of how we’ve done that is by focusing on changing people’s behaviors.”

And that, he said, is where the court’s probation services come into play. Probation services, he said, account for the greatest difference in costs between what King County District is proposing to do and what Auburn Municipal Court does.

King County District Court, Burns said, has 26 judges but operates with the minimal staffing of 10 probation officers. Auburn, by contrast, has eight probation officers and is reputed to be the most aggressive depart-ment in the county.

What it nets the people of Auburn is extensive use of electronic home monitoring, enough staff to ensure that people report to their proba-tion officers twice a month, and that people with significant drug and alcohol problems undergo urinary analyses, including random UAs, two to three times a week.

That advantage, Burns said, enables Auburn’s court to focus on people with actual significant alcohol and drug issues and get them into private treatment programs or into in-patient-treatment programs.

In plain terms, he said, that means keeping people out of jail.

“We release 300 to 400 people to in-patient treatment programs and probably put another four or five times that into out-patient treatment programs every year,” Burns said. “We take a similar ap-proach for people with mental illness issues. In the last year we released 50 people to in-patient mental health treat-ment programs. We monitor a lot of others to make sure they are seeing their mental health providers and taking their medications, that they have a home, that they are not on the streets. That ability to monitor them and aid them in getting the resources they need is a huge advantage, and it’s the difference in how we can help people get off the streets and stop them from committing crimes.”

In recent meetings City leaders have expressed concern with what they say are comparatively longer, and therefore more costly, stays for Auburn inmates in the SCORE jail.

“It is the decision of the judge,” said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis. “It is a practice that the judge will have far more people out on probation. For instance,

in some of the neighboring cities a court sentence might be six months and the person will go to jail for six months. Here the judge may sentence some-body to a year and put them on probation, but if they offend, they go to jail for the full year. When you are dealing with somebody who has a drug or alcohol problem, the chances of them reoffending are far higher.

“There’s a decision the Council has to make,” Lewis said. “King County District Court put together its proposal and the judge put together his, but it’s a difference in philoso-phy. The Council’s really got to look at it.

“King County and our south end cities and SCORE are using what’s called ‘Swift but Sure.’” Lewis said. “In the first place, you’ve got 95 percent of the people who just do the right thing, automati-cally. So you’re dealing with about 5 percent of the people. The idea is that you don’t put those people in for a long period of time. You put them in jail, you show them why they don’t ever, ever want to do that again, and you get them out of there before they become acclimatized to being a criminal.

“That’s what King County has been doing and what the cities that contract with King County like Kent and Renton and Fed-eral Way believe has kept their rate down,” Lewis said.

Burns called the numbers “fallacious.” The real issue, he said, is that at any particular time, 30- to 40 percent of

the people sitting in jail are waiting to be released to in-patient treatment programs. The Auburn court’s response, in those circumstances, is to impose the entire sentence.

“Usually, it’s 30 to 35 days before we can get them into an in-patient treatment pro-gram. But for some people, like sex offenders, it’s really hard to find those guys a bed. They can be sitting in there 60 to 90 days before they get a bed date,” Burns said. “So we just impose a balance of sentence because it’s easier to do that than to impose a sentence of 10 days and set up another hear-ing and so on. That cycle of hearings just creates work for everybody. This is why that number is high, but that number isn’t reflective of the reality of how long people are sitting in jail.

“The basic question is this: is that the kind of system Auburn wants? If they want that kind of system, I can only operate with the resources I have. But if they do that, what they are going to get is a lot higher crime rate,” Burns said. “In essence, the taxpayers are going to pay it through the taxes they pay the city, or they’re going to end up paying it when they get robbed. It’s a policy decision the Council has got to make – who do they want to foist the cost of the criminal justice system onto?”

Students come to the Washington Virtual Acad-emy, an online alternative K-12 public school, for differ-ent reasons.

But when it comes to prom, they’re all there for one reason – to hang out with friends, dance and have fun.

“It gives kids a chance to really get to know each other and know each other’s personalities,” said Rebecca Lagergren, 18, a WVA senior from Elma. “You get to see what kind of person they are and just have some fun.”

For most of the school year students at WVA interact with each other through the Internet, attending live classes and using teacher-monitored chat rooms to interact.

According to WVA High

School Academic Admin-istrator Deanna Kilga, the student body is extremely diverse and comes from all over the state.

“It is a broad spectrum. There are kids who need a flexible schedule for sports or work, like professional athletes and budding actors and actresses,” Kilga said. “We have students who have not done well in a traditional school, so they’ve chosen to go alternative. We’ve got students whose districts do not offer AP and honors courses. We have students who just got tired of being bullied or just got tired of watching other students get-ting bullied.”

For Lagergren, who began attending WVA halfway through her sophomore year, it was just a chance to get out of her crowded high school.

“I was just kind of tired of the brick and mortar and everyday life with kids who were just obnoxious and rude,” she said. “I wanted to get out and work indepen-dently and get better grades.”

For Lagergren, the switch paid off.

“My grades improved, I grew more self confident on what I did,” she said.

On Friday she’ll walk in the school’s graduation cer-emony at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall, to receive her diploma.

Even though most of Lagergren’s social interac-tions came online during the last two-and-half years, she said she doesn’t feel like she missed out socially.

“I felt like I had another family online,” she said.

This year’s prom, con-ducted at Emerald Downs

in Auburn, is the second the school has hosted. Unlike regular proms, this one was open to any student at WVA, regardless of grade.

“They came to me last year and asked if they could have a prom,” said Kilga, who used to teach in the Auburn School District. “I said ‘absolutely’. I love prom, I think it’s a great opportunity for kids. Especially for kids in an online school, who don’t have the same opportunities to interact with each other.

“It’s cool to watch,” she continued. “What you’ll notice is kids come and look for the name tags. They’ll

look and do that ‘aha’,” she said. “Or they’ll try to recognize each other from their Facebook pictures. It’s fun to watch that moment of recognition. It’s just fun to see them come together.”

And although most of the kids at the WVA’s prom were meeting for the first time in person, you wouldn’t have known it once they got out on the dance floor and the music started pumping. “The dancing part of the prom is so much fun,” Kilga said. “Last year, I didn’t see couples dancing, I saw groups of kids dancing and having a blast. If somebody was

there by themselves because they didn’t know anybody, somebody would go grab them and drag them to the dance floor.”

Lagergren, who came to the prom accompanied by 18-year-old Matt Hinderlie, a friend from Elma, said the awkwardness of meeting someone for the first time lasted just a moment.

“It was a little intimidat-ing at first, but once I started actually talking to people I talked to online all the time, it was amazing,” she said. “I felt comfortable. Everybody welcomed me in like they’d known me for years.”

Grant awarded to Green River English division

College Spark, a Seattle-based foundation that funds programs helping low-income students prepare for college, has announced that it will fund a Green River Community College startup program that will develop an English place-ment system for high school students.

The College Spark grant, along with funds from the GRCC Foundation, totals more than $68,000 over a two-year period.

“This program will

support a state-endorsed, multi-faceted approach to placement in English so students do not solely need to rely on the recommendations of a placement assessment,” said Joyce Hammer, the dean overseeing the English department. “This project will also help strengthen partnerships between Green River and the Auburn and Kent school districts who are participating in the initial pilot.”

The grant is designed to help Green River English instructors Marcie Sims and Amanda Schaefer design a program that takes high school students’ transcripts into account when placing

students into college-level English courses. It will be modeled after a math place-ment program the college implemented in 2004.

Accurately placing stu-dents into courses reflective of their abilities helps “move students more quickly toward a ‘tipping point’ of a college degree or credential” based on practices established by the state. Correct placement also translates to cost savings for students who would have otherwise been placed into an English class from which they had already advanced.

Green River is one of six community and technical colleges to receive a grant from College Spark.

Auburn police responded to the fol-lowing calls for service, among many others, between May 30 and June 4:

May 30Vandalism: 9:07 a.m., 620 37th St. SE. Somebody shot BBs at four out-side windows in three of Mt. Baker Middle School’s portable classrooms.

Shoplifting: 12:33 p.m., 101 Auburn Way S. A woman’s arrest for thieving from Safeway was just the start of her troubles. Because, not only did police uncover two warrants for the woman’s arrest, but a search of her person upon her ar-rest also turned up a shaved vehicle key and drug paraphernalia. Police booked the woman into the SCORE facility in Des Moines.

Wanted a speedy getaway: 3:46 p.m., 101 Auburn Way S. Police cited and released a woman for swiping three energy drinks from Safeway.

Theft: 4:35 p.m., 1501 Auburn Way N. Somebody stole a cell phone from a Chevron station.

Accident with injury: 5:56 p.m., 3200 A St. SE. An incident of road rage spun into a two-vehicle crash with injuries.

Shoplifting: 8:07 p.m., 101 Auburn Way S. By stealing multiple items from Safeway, a woman earned herself a citation for shoplifting, trespassing, and finally a place in the SCORE jail for a confirmed misde-

meanor warrant out of Federal Way.

Vandalism: 8:30 a.m., 103 C St. NW. An Auburn Water Department employee called to report a dam-aged water meter.

June 1Hit and run: 2 a.m., 27 15th St. NE. A driver backing up through an Arco gas station parking lot crunched an abandoned pole sign, then, so as not to answer for the sign crunch-ery, peeled out of said parking lot without telling anybody about the misdeed.

Trespassing: 2:04 p.m., 20 37th St. NW. A woman committed undisclosed, frowned-upon acts of badness at Complete Deburr, punch-ing her ticket for three years of total banishment from the cutting tool manufacturer.

Burglary: Overnight, 300 block of 37th Street Southeast. Somebody broke into a construction trailer and stole undisclosed tools worth unknown dollars.

Shoplifting: 8:52 a.m., 1231 Auburn Way N. A man entered a business in Auburn, went into a storage room, loaded up a cart full of booze and skipped out an emergency exit. Police suspect this may have been the same man who carried out a string of recent shopliftings in Renton and Issaquah because the appearance of the man and his method of operation line up.

June 2Fought the law and the law won: 12:52 p.m., 1200 29th St. SE. While firefighters were checking a

woman passed out drunk on a side-walk, the woman came to, turned nasty, balled up her fist and swung said fist at a fire captain. A police officer handcuffed the woman and busted her for third-degree assault, then, in the face of her vehement objections, hustled her off to the SCORE jail. There the woman spat in a correctional officer’s face, netting herself a grand total of three assault charges. The correctional officer and the firefighter weren’t hurt.

June 3Theft: 3702 Auburn Way S. A man, or woman, accused his, or her, ex-roommate of taking his, or her, cell phone, an undisclosed amount of cash, and a crib after moving out and then refusing to return the items to him, or her.

DUI: 9:10 p.m., 1700 block of E Street Northeast. A 28-year-old man found slumped over the steering wheel of a vehicle with the motor running turned out to be the driver, who had ingested black tar heroin and passed out. Police arrested the man for DUI/physical control and possession of legend drugs.

June 4Obstructing justice: 12:34 a.m., 3400 block of D Street Southeast. Police saw a boy and two girls, all part of a documented gang, down-ing booze. The kids fled from the law but the law arrested them for obstruction, for being in posses-sion of fermented beverages and for possessing a dangerous, albeit undisclosed, weapon.

For more informa-tion, contact the City of Auburn Emergency Preparedness Office at 253-876-1925.

Free workshop on emergency preparedness

THE CITY OF AUBURN has received a high rating from the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau regarding the overall effectiveness of its building codes for residential, commercial and industrial properties. Based on a rating classification of 1 to 10 with 1 being the highest, the City received effectiveness scores of 2 for its adopted building codes and its efforts to imple-ment them. The Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau is an independent insurance bureau that provides insurance underwriting and rating information to insurers. The

Bureau publishes the Building Code Effectiveness Grad-ing Schedule Classification that is used by property and casualty insurers to assist in their underwriting, insurance and premium development programs for residential and non-residential properties. Insurers can use the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule Classification to offer insurance premium discounts to eligible properties in a community. Auburn’s high scor-ing makes it more likely that these valuable discounts will be offered to property and business owners in the community.

Mall misses big with new name

The people have spoken.The renaming of Auburn’s Supermall to

“The Outlet Collection|Seattle” is a bad idea.One reader put it bluntly: “It’s a bit of a

slap in the face to people in the South End.”The South End is Auburn, a vibrant Green

River Valley city, a proud community that is very much its own and very distinct from Seattle.

“It makes no sense whatsoever,” another reader chimed in.

It might be just a name to a shopping cen-ter. It might not matter – in the long run – to

the masses, especially to sale-conscious shoppers, but it certainly makes little sense.

Simply, it doesn’t fit Auburn.

In the mall’s defense, the name came from the top. It came from corpo-

rate, remote Midwest.Columbus-Ohio-based Glimcher Realty

Trust, which has owned the mall since 1997, intends to change its Auburn holding from a hybrid mall to “a pure outlet center.”

Fine.The planned big-money makeover in-

cludes new flooring, renovated interior rails, light fixtures, new concourse furniture and interior signs, overhauled restrooms, a “four-star” family restroom, as well as new WiFi hotspots.

Great.The makeover also will bring new logos

and signage – along with a redevelopment of the interior and exterior to “modernize the aesthetic” and update the functional features of the mall.

Super.But the name?

Outsourcing our court services is a bad idea

When is water service like court services? When Auburn residents can’t complain to the City about them.

When I lost water service I found out that I needed to con-tact the City of Bonney Lake. Soon I may need to contact King County District Court if I have a complaint about the City court. In other words, the City of Auburn is farming out its responsibilities and thus, its sovereignty.

The voters are losing their voices because Auburn author-ities are not the folks to call.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe our City leaders are seeking a cost-efficient solu-tion. But democracy doesn’t come cheap. Ask any veteran or family of a lost veteran.

Using the analogy that we move everything up to the county, begs one question: Why not unincorporate and just use the county executive?

Moving the court services is not a good idea.– John Torres, attorney at law

Supermall’s new name off the mark

The Supermall project and its new name? It is the dumbest thing we have ever heard. It doesn’t even make sense, not even remotely.

Why would you put Seattle’s name on something that’s not anywhere near Seattle?

So someone in Ohio actually

got paid to come up with this, right? Are you going to change the name of the street, too?

Seriously, how does any-one think putting a different city’s name on something will promote tourism in Auburn? What would they be touring? We have nothing left. No bowl-ing alley. Now you’re ripping down the drive-in.

Wake up. There’s nothing here unless you count our “promenade” and arches lead-ing people into a downtown area that’s practically empty. I guess the tourists could go to the city cement park that looks more like a graveyard.

It’s all very sad.“The Outlet Collection/Se-

attle” is just not going to work. Maybe they should redirect that money and do something better for this city, like rebuild the drive-in so we have some-thing super cool that others don’t. There’s also the Dwight Clark Skate Center we could build.

It’s just so very sad to see this City ripping up stuff that we love.

Take off Seattle and put in Auburn and it makes more sense. It’s pretty obvious.

Please understand I love Auburn. Maybe that’s why this is so annoying to me. – Georgia Johnson

Mall’s new name dismisses Auburn

Well, it appears as though the new owners have too much money. Spend a couple hun-dred-thousand of dollars for an uplift and name change that people are going to wonder where in tarnation is the “The Outlet Collection|Seattle?”

Oh well, just another way to take the Auburn out of Auburn.

I don’t shop there anyway. Too expensive for me.

Come one, come all and shop at the mall, er, I mean The Outlet Collection|Seattle. Good fortune.– Rollyn Kidd

Auburn is important to us

I am all for the “getting a new look,” but I do have to agree with Councilwoman Backus, this is Auburn.

Capitalize on travel, tourism

In 2011, the U.S. travel and tourism in-dustry generated $1.2 trillion from domestic and international travel and supported 7.6

million jobs accord-ing to the Department of Commerce. In 2012, Commerce projects 65.4 million foreign travel-ers will visit the United States.

With the summer months ahead, small

businesses in Auburn and throughout Wash-ington should be prepared to capitalize on the expected increase in travel and tourism.

“This was no whimsi-cal decision. We spent several hundred thousand (of dollars) in marketing research and studies and demographer reports, and it was very, very impor-tant for this to succeed,” Greg Fleser, general manager of the Auburn Supermall, told City of-ficials last week.

Money well spent?“It says The Outlet

Collection|Seattle,” said Councilwoman Nancy Backus. “We’re Auburn.”

Fleser went on:“… While Auburn is

very important to us and we’re still in the commu-nity, the name itself has to speak to an entire regional attraction,” he said. “The premium outlets across the country are ever so rarely actually in the area after which they name themselves for that very

reason. We would be silly not to follow suit with something like that.”

Silly?Auburn and the South

End is a region unto itself. Auburn deserves better. It is a community struggling to find its financial feet in a down economy. It could use all the help to draw customers.

Mall leaders should play ball, and reconsider what it puts on its new sign.

Kudos for renovation, for stepping up with improvements.

But the name? “The Outlet Collection|Seattle?

Just a bad idea, joining the likes of the Edsel, New Coke and the $2 bill.

Try “The Outlet Collection|Auburn?”

And we didn’t have to spend several hundred thousand of dollars to come up with that.

[ KLAAS from page 7 ] changes, becoming “The Outlet Collection|Jersey Gardens.” This mall in Jersey Gardens gets to keep its name but our mall has to have its name changed to “The Outlet Collection|Seattle.”

Auburn is very important to us, and we’re still in the community. Auburn is a regional attraction.

Bold move in Pacific police chief ouster

Finally, the City of Pacific can move on from all the drama ex-Police Chief Calkins brought to this city.

Former mayor Richard Hildreth should have had the guts to let him go a long time ago, and his failure to do so – as well as plenty of his other actions and inactions – shows just how much of a typical politician he was and still is.

I commend Mayor Sun for taking care of busi-ness even while catching flak from this paper and elected/appointed leaders in this city. The majority in this city voted in a guy who would make the tough deci-

sions and not necessarily the most popular ones. And we chose this over political experience.

The status quo will continue to complain and call for his ouster, but the people who matter, the ones who are on the outside of the circle of power, should continue to give him a chance to do exactly what he said he would do.– Kevin Cline

Liquor with our groceries?

I am appalled at the greedy decision of our neighborhood grocery stores to begin selling hard liquor.

This new addition to their inventory is – at best – insensitive and – at worst –irresponsible.

Insensitive hardly describes their willingness to place hard liquor on the shelves, in the grocery bas-kets, and at the checkout. Having to work my way past the multiple displays of beer and wine has been bad enough, but grocery store ads are now bragging they are a one-stop shop to “save a trip to the liquor store.” I never go there.

Insensitive also applies to the feelings of the clerks and service personnel who will have to handle the hard stuff, if they want to keep their jobs, regardless of their attitude toward liquor.

Irresponsible is the best way to describe the stores’ greedy attitude, since it will now be so much easier for susceptible people to be more easily tempted to spend money on liquor instead of milk, meat or clothing.

Irresponsible is the only way to describe the decision to place hard liquor in front of the numerous children who regularly accompany parents on grocery-shop-ping expeditions. True, the bottles are sealed and it’s not a saloon, but the repeat-ed exposure implies (incor-rectly) that hard liquor is as acceptable and healthy as carrots and cheese.

Irresponsible is brag-ging about making the purchase of liquor so easily available that people cannot resist. Stores adding liquor are appar-ently looking only at net profit, but they have a responsibility toward the betterment of our commu-nity. If they make liquor increasingly available, they should be held morally (if not legally) accountable for the ensuing rise in DWIs, DUIs and acci-dents.

No, I’m not pushing for prohibition, but liquor should not be slapping us in the face every time we go for a loaf of bread.– M. Brunson

Realtors, owners have a responsibility

We live in northeast Auburn, where we came into a neighborhood with a house that’s boarded up and with its grass that’s grown knee high. Now, we have people doing their business in the yard, using it as a bathroom.

How about real estate

people with homes for sale clean up the yards, cut the grass and put in some color, like potted flowers? It might attract a buyer.

Did Auburn pick a city flower? Was it the dande-lion?

Let’s get these things under control in your yards.

This sure does not help our city, the parks or your neighborhood’s yard.– Claudia North

Punished for doing my part

Regarding Jeanne Herold’s letter (“Enough of these rising water bills,” Auburn Reporter, May 4): The rates on her bill go up so the City can buy computer upgrades, etc. and increase the employees’ salaries. Folks get a raise even though they are not consistently doing work above their job description, nor are they producing bet-ter and better work.

My problem is that the City punishes me for be-ing an acutely responsible “non-consumer.”

My weekly household trash output is just half a plastic grocery bag, or less. I have the smallest trash can the City “allows,” but it is still too large. I have no trees or real shrubs on my property, so I use the yard waste container once a month.

I don’t subscribe to magazines or newspapers; got the junk mail down to a manageable size and use the recycling container once every two months, but I still must pay for non-use.

I reduce, reuse, repur-pose, recycle everything. But the City of Auburn still insists on punishing me.

Greed – the religion of America.– Molly Graece

Last month, the Obama Administration announced its National Travel and Tourism Strategy, a set of policies, actions and recom-mendations proposed by the Task Force on Travel and Competitiveness, to promote domestic and in-ternational travel through-out the United States.

The goal is to attract 100 million international visi-tors annually who would spend an estimated $250 billion each year by the end of 2021. This could help the industry add an estimated 2.1 million to 3.3 million jobs, benefiting small busi-ness owners and helping to create an economy built to last.

As a member of the task force, the U.S. Small Business Administration wants to ensure small busi-nesses in Washington have the tools and resources required to start planning a successful summer and tourist season today.

For example, hire seasonal workers. If your business counts on the summer season or tourist trade, then start planning for seasonal workforce now. If new to this pro-cess, or you have questions about hiring and compen-sating seasonal workers (for example, do you need to pay unemployment taxes for seasonal work-ers?) visit www.sba.gov for tips on hiring and working with seasonal workers.

The SBA can help finance seasonal working capital needs. If help is needed to meet short-term and cycli-cal working capital needs, such as building inventory for the season or paying workers, then consider a short-term loan or line of credit such as SBA’s CAPLines Program, which provides advances against anticipated inventory and accounts receivable to help businesses with seasonal sales fluctuations.

The program recently was streamlined to make it easier for small business owners to get financing even if collateral is tight. Last year, the SBA approved almost 1,800 loans worth $2.2 billion to travel and tourism-related small busi-

nesses. SBA also recommends

that a marketing strategy be developed to encourage past customers – travel-ers and tourists alike – to come back to your business. There are several other

things to do as well: get involved in local events/festivals, plan an event, or line-up summer giveaways.

This summer let SBA help to make sure your small business is prepared to support the growing

travel and tourism indus-try. It’s a win-win for small businesses and the econo-my alike.

For the reporter

Dr. Kevin Martin, a South Puget Sound family physician, has begun his one-year term as president-elect of the Washington Academy of Family Physicians (WAFP).

Martin, MD, assumed the role on May 11, at the WAFP Annual Scientific Assembly at the Sunca-dia Resort in Cle Elum.

During his year as president-elect, Martin will work with the board of directors, and automati-cally becomes WAFP president at

the close of the organization’s meeting in 2013.

Martin has a special passion for family medi-cine and values the primary care relationship be-tween physician

and patient.“I love the variety and the

consistency of family medicine because I get the opportunity to care for people across their life

span,” he said. “I see young couples as they become families and their grandparents as they look back on their legacy. The consistency is in these relationships.

“I have taken care of five genera-tions in one family and seen some of my patients for most of their lives,” he said. “I went into family medicine because I needed that balance in my life.”

As an extension of his passion, Martin has been a leader and active member of the WAFP since 1998. He has served on a number of

WAFP committees including the Practice Transformation Commit-tee, the Information Technology Committee, the Commission on Health Care Services, and the Com-mittee on Child and School Health.

Martin also is active in the Ameri-can Academy of Family Physicians.

Martin is a primary care practi-tioner at Sound Family Medicine in Bonney Lake. He joined the practice in 2010. He previously worked at Evergreen Enumclaw Health and Rehabilitation Center, Auburn Family Medical Center, and the North Auburn Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Auburn radiologist awarded prestigious fellowship

Dr. Gordon F. Greeman, a member of the depart-ment of radiology and past chief of staff of Auburn Regional Medical Center, recently was awarded fel-lowship in the American College of Radiology.

He is one of two radiologists in the state so honored this year.

The ACR fellowship is one of the highest honors for a radiologist.

ACR fellows demonstrate a history of service to the college, organized radiol-ogy, teaching or research. Approximately 12 percent of ACR members achieve this distinction.

Greeman is with the Van-tage Radiology & Diagnos-tic Services, PS, (formerly Valley Radiologists, Inc. P.S.), which staffs the Auburn Regional radiology department and outpatient center.

He joins his partner, Dr. Phillip Lund, as a fellow of the college.

With just one round left in the discus event at the Washington State 3A Boys Track and Field Championships, Auburn Mounta-inview senior William Mack was trailing his teammate and buddy, junior Nicholas Aumua.

Aumua had just made his final throw, 153 feet, 1 inch, smashing his previous personal best by more than eight feet.

“When I threw (Mack) was kind of getting mad, saying ‘I can’t let him beat me,’” Aumua said.

“I couldn’t let him beat me. He was up there, but I had to knock him down,” Mack added. “It’s my senior year. He can do it next year.”

Stepping into the throwing circle, Mack unleashed the final throw of his prep career.

“So that’s when he threw 155-08," Aumua said. "I was about to get second, and then he threw that and I got third.”

For Mack and Aumua, this season's second-and third-place fin-ishes cap a shared career that goes back two years when the duo first began throwing discus together for the Lions' track and field team.

Mack said he began competing in the event as a sophomore.

"I was turning out for track and field and the coach wanted me to try it," he said.

As a 6-foot-1, 245-pound line-man on the Lions varsity football team, Mack was no stranger to the

rigors of training to achieve proper technique. Still, he said, the work required to throw the discus prop-erly surprised him.

“There is a lot of technical work to learn. I think I did 75 feet when I first started throwing," he said.

It wasn't until his junior year that he began to get the hang of it.

"I just started taking it serious

and started getting it down,” he said.

While Mack was finally getting comfortable chucking the discus, his fellow lineman and friend, Au-mua, decided to pick up the discus as well.

“My first year I did pretty good,

FAMILY LAWAttorney at Law

Ask John at [email protected]

Attorney: Usually, during the divorce proceedings, the court will "freeze" assets and debts, including property or businesses. That is, the court will not permit a party to sell or dispose of an asset. The reason is because the family law court wants to preserve assets for trial or settlement. If parties were allowed to sell off assets and use the money, there would be nothing left to divide up at the divorce and one party likely will not be happy about any premature sale of assets, including businesses. If the sale of a business is an emergency, then you can often ask the family law court on a temporary calendar to get permission and require both parties (husband and wife) to sign off on the purchase and sale agreement, but it is an uphill battle. The court wants to make a fair and equitable division of all property in a divorce, and therefore, the court likely will require the business be evaluated by a CPA before permitting its sale.

Client: How do I sell my business during the dissolution? Do I need my wife's approval?

made it to sub-districts,” the 6-3, 240-pound Aumua said. “But I didn’t make it to the next round. I was still learning, though. Everybody around me was good, and I was trying to keep up, but I wasn’t ready for the competi-tion yet.”

Mack, however, moved on. He eventually snagged 16th at the 2011 championships with a throw of 120-8.

Coming into this season, however, it all clicked for Mack and Aumua.

“When it came to this year I had experience,” Aumua said. “I brought everything I learned from last year to this year. I was expecting to come ready and come focused. I came in confident and had faith that I could do well. If I ever have a bad throw, I’d just shrug it off and compete. My first throw was pretty long,

but it was out of bounds."“My mindset and experi-

ence was better," Mack added. As the pair tore through

the regular-season competi-tion in the South Puget Sound League 3A, they fed on their shared competitive spirit to spur each other on.

“We’re pretty good friends,” Aumua said. “It helps a lot. We help each other out a lot on things we need to work on. We crack jokes and just have fun, but most of all just help each other out. We compete, we each try to grab first place, but we'll make fun of each other. Whoever gets first place will tell the other, “Yeah, you’re not that good.’”

“It’s always good to make improvements from last year, and to have Nick there with me meant a lot,” Mack said.

At the state championship meet, that competitive drive proved crucial, according to Mack.

“Nick said, ‘You’re not going to beat me this time,’” Mack said. “But I came up, changed my mindset on the last throw.”

“I was telling him he got lucky,” Aumua said. “If he wouldn’t have had that throw,

I would have had second.”With Mack graduating and

planning to join the Army in just a few weeks, it will be up to Aumua to find his own motivation next year.

“I want to go No. 1 next year,” he said.

athletes move on to college football.

The organization hosts the annual Tanoa Bowl, a showcase of high school football talent from as far away as Alaska and Utah. This past weekend, Ultimate Edge presented the inaugural Northwest Premiere All-Stars Tournament, featuring the cream of the seventh and eighth grade football crop in Washington State, showing off their skills on the turf at Auburn’s Memorial Stadium.

After moving to Auburn from Orange County, Calif. in 1995, Strickland said, his sons, Justin and Jordan, decided they wanted to play football.

“My oldest wanted to play,” he said. “I told him it was hard and a huge commit-ment. It’s not easy.”

Familiar with the demands of the sport from his days playing high school football in Orange County, Strickland set about enrolling his boys in the Auburn junior football league but was told there were no openings on the rosters.

“So for five years I took my kids to the Kent Knights,” he said. “We lived right by where they practiced junior football in Auburn, and for five years we drove right by it on the way to the Kent Knights. But it was a great experience, there was some great people. But the greatest thing that happened was my sister up in Renton wanted to bring her kids down to play with my kids.”

Seeking to enhance the experience for his sons and his nephews, Strickland began Ultimate Edge.

“We just started work-ing with our kids and it just started growing,” he said. “It went from our kids to 10 kids to 50 kids to where it’s at now. Ultimate Edge sports is just a unique football club we use to help the kids. Not just football, but academically. We just try to help out.”

The organization’s success was immediate.

Strickland’s nephews, Ever-rette and Jason Thompson, earned scholarships to play Division I football, Everrette as a defensive end for the University of Washington Huskies, and Jason as a quar-terback for the University of Wyoming.

In addition, many local kids, including Auburn’s Chris Young (Arizona State),

Cory English (University of Washington), Danny Shelton (University of Washington) and Alphonse Wade (Air Force), have taken advantage of the guidance of Ultimate Edge and moved on to play collegiate ball.

“We’re very proud to have so many good kids come through our program,” he said. “We found through our own kids that keeping them busy and keeping their minds occupied helped keep them focused on doing some posi-tive and achieving their goals. They focused on school, getting to college. Some of the guys we work with are in a tough situation. Fortu-nately with us we have a great group of people. It’s basically a family.”

Now Ultimate Edge is expanded to offer opportuni-ties to middle school football players, Strickland said. The organization’s Washington Warrior select football team competes in tournaments across the country and recently placed second in the nation at an eighth grade tournament in Florida.

“These are kids from all walks of life, all different types of kids,” Strickland said. “They’re just passionate about football and we want to show them how to use that to help them in the future and become positive role models in their community.”

Strickland added that by reaching down and helping younger kids, it lets them not only achieve on the field, but

also in life.“With a lot of these kids,

by the time they get to high school, they’re already in trouble,” he said. “They’re already hurting with their grades. It’s a lot more than just the football, with success on the field we’ve got to have success in the class.”

Now, more than 10 years into his journey with Ultimate Edge, Strickland said he’s still amazed and humbled by the kids.

“I never thought it would get to where we’re at,” he said. “But as you progress, you just find more ways to help. It’s amazing, we’re very honored by these kids. We’re honored to help them on their path. We can help them, but they’ve got to want to do it.”

Gaye L. TurnerGaye L. Turner passed away at her home in Auburn,

Washington on May 19, 2012 after suffering a short bout with pancreatic cancer. Gaye will be laid to rest at Mountain View cemetery in Auburn.

Her parents, John and Dorothy lived on a remote ranch out of Laredo, Texas. Before it was time for the twins to be born, they traveled to McAllen, Texas where Gaye’s maternal grandparents lived so that there was available medical care. Gaye was born in McAllen in 1937, just a few minutes before her twin sister, Kaye.

Gaye’s childhood was spent on several different ranches as her father moved in search of good pasture for his herd of cattle. This created a wonderful variety of childhood experiences. But an apartment or house in town was always available so the girls could have the best education possible, then out to the ranch for the weekend.

Gaye graduated co-valedictorian of her high school class with her twin who had identical grade point averages. Following high school, Gaye attended the University of Texas in Austin with a major in pharmacy. She graduated SUMA CUM LAUDE from pharmacy school with additional special high honors.

While attending the University of Texas, she met her soul mate, C. Warren Turner. They married in 1961 and moved to Seattle, Washington where they eventually raised their two boys. Warren worked as an engineer, while Gaye worked as a pharma-cist for Group Health.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, Gaye was a talented seamstress, cross country skier, outdoor adventurer, quilt maker, artist, traveler, and a wonderful mother. She was active with the Kent Seniors and a member of Kent United Methodist Church.

Gaye was preceded in death by her parents, John and Dorothy and by her husband, C. Warren Turner. She is survived by; her sister Kaye, her sister June, her brother Bay Clifton, her son William, her son Stephen, and four grandchildren.

Memorial service will be held 2:00 P.M. Sunday, June 10, 2012 at the Kent United Methodist Church, 11010 S.E. 248th St. Arrangements by Yahn & Son Funeral Home, Auburn.
