Day for the dogs

3 newcomers join the race for City CouncilBY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Three political newcomers – Thomas Sauers, Jodi Riker-Yap and Michelle Binetti – have entered the race for Auburn City Council.

Last week Sauers filed alongside Yolanda Trout and Frank Lonergan for Position 4, held for eight years by mayoral candidate Nancy Backus. Riker-Yap filed for Position 2, mayoral candidate John Partridge’s seat, against busi-nessman Claude DeCorsi, and Binetti filed for Position 6 against incumbent Rich Wagner.

The Aug. 6 primary will pare the field for Position 4 to two. The general election is Nov. 5.

A closer look at the candidates:

THOMAs sAuERsA Kent native, Sauers wants to be on the City

Council so he can do something about rising crime, aging streets and the city’s anemic busi-ness climate.

As a young Navy machinist caught in the coils of World War II, Tony Mola looked his ter-

rifying enemy in the eyes more times than he cares to remember.

Danger, dismemberment, death seemed to await Mola and his fellow sailors at every turn.

But that day in 1945 aboard the USS William Seiverling, a destroyer escort positioned off the Japanese island of Okinawa in 1945, that day is in a class of

terror all by itself. Heading to the bow of the

ship to make some repairs that morning, Mola heard some-thing buzzing in the skies right over his head. He looked up.

“A kamikaze was coming at me. I could see the pilot. He was that close. Someone then yelled, ‘Look out, Tony, look out.’ … But fortunately, he didn’t hit us. He swerved and hit one of the destroyers …

It’s official – the City of Au-burn wants no part of the waste

transfer station that King County is considering building on an undeveloped, soggy, weed-wild parcel off West Valley Highway at the foot of West Hill.

That much the City Council settled Monday night before a chamber room packed with West Hill residents and others who loathe the idea of a transfer sta-

tion there.Opponents had earlier described

to the council what a problem it would be to let King County build an $80 million transfer station on

the site just north of the 37th Street Northwest-West Valley Highway intersection.

City dumps proposed north-end site for waste transfer station

CATCH ME

Sauers, a 1986 Kent-Meridian High School graduate, has lived in Auburn for 14 years. He was a Honda mechanic for more than two decades before injuries forced his early retirement. He enrolled in an unemployment training program at Green River Community College, from which he graduates next month with a degree in business man-agement. He hopes to work again in the automotive field as a manager or start up his own shop.

Sauers said he decided to run for City Council out of “deep concerns” for where the City is going.

“I’ve seen more crime, I’ve seen more drug dealing, I’ve heard gunfire, I’ve even seen what looked like prostitution on the street corners, and it’s getting down to where I live on 37th,” Sauers said.

“Stores are going out of business, we’ve got a lot of store fronts for lease or rent, property for sale. Nobody is attracted to do business in Auburn,” he said. “Somebody’s got to do something to get out us out of this. What we need is new leadership.”

The first order of business, as Sauers sees it, will be to fix the streets and do it right.

Sauers enjoys managing and coach-ing baseball, “loves to get involved” with youth sports programs, is the vice presi-dent of Norpoint Soccer Association and will coach boys soccer teams this year. He has two sons, ages 23 and 13.

Jodi RikeR-Yap Riker-Yap wants to spread the news

that councilmembers are approachable And the best platform for getting that word out is on the council itself, she said.

In the three years since Riker-Yap and her husband moved here from Arizona, she has attended City Council meetings and volunteered her time as president of the White River Valley Citizens Corps Council.

But she said it’s been harder than it should have been to find and talk to her elected representatives.

The City, which is the first real form of government that most people interact with, Riker-Yap continued, must make its leaders more available to talk.

Riker-Yap said that the City should also be doing better things with its money than spending thousands of dol-lars on sculptures at the same time that its road infrastructure is crumbling

She found it disturbing in 2012, for instance, to watch the City trying to get voters to support a road bond at the time its leaders were throwing dollars at public art.

“I agree that art is important, but if you can’t drive there, and you are hav-ing to realign your front end every six months because of roads with potholes, something seems lopsided. We need to get our priorities straight,” Riker-Yap said.

Riker-Yap, a former EMT paramedic-firefighter, spent her working days employed by ambulance services, fire departments and county governments in Arizona. That was before a truck crossed the center line and struck the ambulance head-on in which she was returning after a call.

“I wound up doing the windshield taste test, and it ended my career,” she said.

She and her husband have six grown children and hope to adopt another by the end of November.

Michelle Binetti Binetti wants to bring new leadership

to the city in which she grew up and still loves.

“I will bring fresh ideas and a differ-ent perspective to the City Council,” Binetti said. “As our streets deteriorate and traffic worsens, what we hear from City Hall is that nothing more can be done. Taxpayers have been increasingly saddled with subsidizing the golf course restaurant, the Auburn Avenue Theater and an excessively expensive jail.”

Only recently, Binetti noted, City Hall learned that King County had identified a potential waste transfer station site in Auburn’s city limits but it reacted to op-pose the station only after its potential neighbors protested.

“I believe we can do better, that we must do better,” she said. “I was born and raised in Auburn and have watched it change and grow over the years. I know what Auburn could be and if elected, I will work to build the coali-tion to put our city back on the path to fulfilling its promise of becoming a better community for all of us.”

Binetti, an Auburn High School graduate, attended Central Washing-ton University. She is employed by the Auburn School District, is a past PTA president and softball coach. She has completed training as a member of the Citizens Emergency Response Team and is a member of the Sons of Italy and the Auburn Valley YMCA.

Binetti and her husband have six sons. With five of her children grown, she said, she now has time to become actively involved in the decision making for “the kind of future we want for our city.”

we were lucky,” Mola said.“I’m no hero,” he said after

a pause. “I’m lucky. I’m alive today.”

Assigned to support vessels on many missions and on many seas throughout most of his 40-year Navy career, Mola often looks back at his wartime experiences. He is grateful to be where he is today – retired but still active at his shop, Utilities Service Co., Inc., a family-owned-and-operated business he established more than 45 years ago off East Mar-ginal Way South in Seattle.

The affable Kent man is fit and sharp, belying his 89 years. He stays busy answer-ing phones and managing operations, just as he did in the service as a chief machinery repairman skilled in mechani-cal and electrical engineer-ing. As if it were a sea-going machine and electrical shop, Mola’s company handles all types of repairs and installa-tions for pumps, compressors, motors and drivers.

Mola is like a machine that keeps on running — in good shape but not without a few repairs. He has survived his share of heart and other opera-tions.

“I’ve had a good life,” he said. “It was interesting. I enjoyed the duty, the camara-derie.”

Born in Easton, Mola was raised in Ravensdale and wherever the railroad took his family. His father worked on the Northern Pacific Rail-road for 30 years. His mother worked for Boeing on the first B-17 assembly line during the war before she joined other women on the railroad, replac-

ing the war-bound men.After graduating from high

school, Mola worked in a machine shop. When the Navy drafted him it tapped into his talents, sending him to the University of Kansas to study engineering.

Sent overseas, he was sta-tioned off the coasts of many countries and islands in the Pacific Theater, including Aus-tralia, New Zealand, Guadal-canal, Fiji, the Philippines and Okinawa.

Supporting ground troops or the Navy’s larger warships, Mola and the men often were under attack in those areas.

Off Guadalcanal, Mola was aboard the USS Zebra, a cargo vessel, when it was struck by a torpedo but refused to sink.

Off New Caledonia, Mola was assigned to a ship that installed anti-submarine nets around the harbors to protect ship from Japanese torpedoes. They encountered mines and even towed one out of harm’s way.

At Okinawa, Mola and the Navy met frequent fire while the USS Seiverling performed picket duty around the island – preventing the enemy from landing on the island and protecting U.S. troops by laying down a smokescreen so the Japanese couldn’t spot American ships.

Nighttime bombing raids were common.

“They were like bees. There were swarms of them,” Mola said. “If you were scared, you really didn’t know because you had a job to do.”

One night, a Japanese bomber swooped and dropped a flare on Mola’s ship, it’s tar-get. The enemy made another pass to drop a bomb but it missed the ship. Once the first

flare went out, the bomber made another pass to drop a second flare.

“He was going to get us that time,” Mola recalled, “but something happened. The flare hooked onto its tail. Isn’t that something? We were lucky.”

The bomber, illuminated by its own flare, became an easy target for the ship’s guns and was shot down.

Once the island was secure, the USS Seiverling did patrol duty, then joined the large Naval fleet as it entered Tokyo Bay to meet the surrendered Japanese. Mola and the ship were in the harbor alongside the USS Missouri, on which the peace treaty was officially signed on Sept. 2, 1945.

After the war Mola decided to stay on. He served but was never called to arms during the Korean and Vietnam wars. He served until he was 60.

In his lifetime, he married, helped raise two children and opened a business. He stays close to his fellow veterans, visits Auburn for Sons of Italy meetings and plans to rejoin his friends when the USS Seiverling celebrates its 49th reunion in South Carolina this summer. Mola is one the few remaining veterans alive today who served on the ship during WWII.

He treasured his life in the Navy, and wouldn’t change a thing.

“The Marines got the glory, the Army did the work and the Navy had the fun,” he said with a grin.

“The minute I joined the Navy, it was frightening. Let’s put it that way,” he said. “But I enjoyed it. … All kinds of duty.”

And all kinds of experiences worth retelling.

?Question of the week:“Do you approve of the way Obama is performing as president?”

Vote online:www.auburn-reporter.comLast week’s poll results:“Should the City continue to use taxpayer money to support the struggling Auburn Golf Course?”No: 85% Yes: 15%

[ more THOMPSON page 6 ]

By rejecting proposals, City does a disservice to taxpayers

The City of Auburn doesn’t know a good thing when it sees it. Like other municipali-ties across our region, the City is strapped for cash. But when its own employees make proposals in bargaining that would save the taxpayers money, the City balks. What gives?

Earlier this year, the City rejected a proposal by Teamsters Local 117 to change City employees over to the Union’s compa-rable, less expensive health and welfare plan, a move that could save the City $197,000 annually.

The Union also proposed giving City employees the choice to opt out of the health care plan altogether, provided that they have other, comparable coverage. If only 5 percent

of represented City employees were to opt out – a modest estimate – the City would save up to $76,000 a year.

The City rejected that proposal as well.

The City also rejected a proposal to redirect

50 cents from its employees’ wages into a defined benefit retirement plan. The idea, which is extremely popular among City em-ployees, won’t cost the City a dime. In fact, the City would save money by trimming expenditures on overtime costs.

Taken together, these proposals would add, at the very least, a few hundred thou-sand dollars to the City’s depleted general fund. The City could use the savings to fill potholes, maintain streets, clean up city parks or beef up community policing. The City could stop outsourcing work to outside bidders, ensure the long-term maintenance of the Mountain View Cemetery and the City’s Golf Course, or spare taxpayers from utility rate increases.

So far, the City has given no logical reason for setting up roadblocks to more revenue. Officials have claimed that there is a “prin-ciple” at stake. What “principle” could be more important than the City’s obligation to taxpayers to use its resources responsibly, to maintain critical services, and to provide de-cent working conditions for its employees?

Other cities and counties have enacted similar proposals, and the results speak for themselves. In 2010, Pierce County negoti-ated a switch to the Teamsters Health and Welfare plan. The plan offered County em-ployees comparable benefits at a lower cost, and it ultimately saved the County $400,000.

At King County, a coalition of labor unions and the County collaborated to save

Golf course needs our support, appreciation

Regarding Jeanne Herold’s letter to the editor (“Wasting money on the golf course”, Auburn Reporter, May 10):

If she is going to rant about a golf course, she should get her facts straight first. I think her estimate of $35,000 for audio-video equipment was grossly exaggerated.

A-V equipment that can be hooked up to an already existing computer system, in no way, would even come close to such a stupid quote. It might improve tournament results and keep more golfers informed as to outcomes of different tournaments instead of cardboard billboards.

Auburn Golf Course is a credit to the City of Auburn. It has become beautifully mani-cured and is a great advertise-ment to the growing popularity of the sport.

It is a joy to play golf at this course and closing it would probably only make it another overrun housing project that Auburn doesn’t need.

Let’s try to get our youth involved in a sport of honor instead of being in trouble on the streets.

Any money spent on this course will only make golf-ers’ visit to the City of Auburn more enjoyable as the course keeps improving every year under new management and care.– Jan McDowell

Backing Backus for next mayor

Auburn residents will be making an important deci-sion this election season. We have the opportunity to vote for Nancy Backus as our next mayor.

It is a time of growth of both Auburn’s population and busi-ness base. Thoughtful and ex-perienced leadership is needed to guide that growth and build and maintain strong communi-cation with all Auburn citizens. Nancy has that experience, vision and leadership ability.

I had the honor of working with Nancy for eight years on the City Council and found her an independent thinker who could be counted on to listen, learn and make the tough decisions. Nancy has a talent for dissecting compli-cated issues, listening care-

fully to all sides and defining what is best for Auburn. She excels at encouraging citizen involvement and guiding people through the some-times challenging govern-mental process.

Nancy is well respected at both the regional and national level through her committee work at both levels. She’s there to represent Auburn’s best interests and return tax dollars to Auburn. As mayor, Nancy will serve Auburn with profes-sionalism, skill and dedication, and Auburn will be better for her service.– Lynn Norman

Win-win: vote for Partridge, Lewis

Support John Partridge for mayor of Auburn and Pete Lewis for Port of Seattle com-missioner.

I have worked extensively with both on numerous proj-ects over the years. Auburn is on the precipice of exciting times. Auburn is wonderfully positioned for business and urban renewal with a new high school and downtown projects.

John Partridge is uniquely qualified to lead Auburn as the city landscape changes. He believes that city govern-ment should be limited and not be ever expanding. He reminds me of visionaries I have worked with in the past (Alan Mulally from Boeing comes to mind).

the County $75 million while at the same time setting aside a designated reserve fund of $25 million to provide afford-able health care and to control health care costs for County employees.

Public employees work hard to provide vital services to our communities. They clear our streets during snow

emergencies, maintain our roads, clean up our parks, and keep our communities safe. Instead of recognizing them for their service, the City of Auburn is inexplicably blocking its employees from attempting to improve their benefits and rein in health care costs, at a considerable cost savings to the City.

Contrary to the prevailing rhetoric, unions and em-

ployers can work together in the public sector to achieve creative solutions to difficult challenges that benefit both workers and taxpayers. Not so at the City of Auburn, which so far has been unwilling to think outside the box.

Job well done, Auburn Mountainview

I would like to con-gratulate the Auburn Mountainview girls wa-ter polo team on another outstanding season.

The squad cruised through league play undefeated, and for the second year in a row took fourth place at last weekend’s state tourna-ment.

In addition, several team members garnered personal accolades:

Avalon Lanz (first-team all-state, first-team all-league), Abby Janssen (second-team all-state, first-team all-league), Savanna Warner (first-team all-league), Taylor Lavine (second-team all-league), Lindsey Powers (second-team all-league), and Skyler Hall (honorable men-tion all-league).

The team will only lose two players to graduation, so we can expect another exciting run in 2014. Go get’ em, Lions.– Craig Powers

Behind the talents of student artists and supporters, Ameri-can Legion Post 78 of Auburn is putting art on display in honor of veterans.

The Auburn School District, City of Auburn and Post 78 are combining efforts to create a series of murals behind Auburn Memorial Stadium, facing Veter-ans Memorial Park.

The art project includes paint-ings of veterans and iconic war images from World War I to present day. Plans are to erect 22 eight-by-eight-foot murals along the 175-foot-long wall behind the

stadium. The mural is scheduled to be

erected in late June and officially dedicated during Auburn’s Veter-ans Day Observance on Nov. 9.

The project got a boost last weekend when culinary students at Mountainview High School donated $3,400 to help cover costs and see its completion.

A student crew from Auburn’s high schools is working inside the old Public Health building to complete the project.

Post leaders are seeking dona-tions to cover the cost of materi-als and construction. The public can send donations to: Ameri-can Legion Post 78, attention: veterans mural, at P.O. Box 668, Auburn WA 98071.

Ten candidates will vie for four Pacific City Council seats in this year’s election, according to the King County Elections Division.

Councilmembers Tren Walker, John Jones and Leanne Guier filed for reelection, but Councilmember and Mayor Pro Tem James McMa-han did not.

“I had decided not to run a

while ago and have been encouraging people to run for my seat,” McMa-han said by email. “I’ve enjoyed my time on the council but haven’t been able to put the kind of time and energy toward it that the City needs, especially now.

“In the end, my day job is still more than a full-time job for me,” he continued. “Between

that, council and the business that my wife and I own and run, I don’t have enough time to spend with my family. Our kids are 3 and 5, and they deserve to have their dad more involved in their lives.”

Stacy May Knudtson, Gary Nitschke and Stacy D. Jackson will run for McMahan’s Position 5 seat.

Jones will take on challenger Brice Erickson for Position 2. Guier will square off against Dave Stookey and Vic Kave for Position 4. Ronnie Harris will challenge Walker for Position 7.

The primary election is Aug. 6, the general election is Nov. 5.

Cameron Randall, who lives on South 298th Place, explained why it made no sense to him.

“This site should be preserved as part critical Mill (Creek) wetlands, just as you’ve done … on Main Street (with) The Auburn Environmental Park. … The property should be removed from the Innovative Part-nership Zone and preserved as a wetland. For the record, I support the initiatives of the IPZ, but not having this property there. It is confus-ing as to how this was ever included in the IPZ.”

Now Auburn’s thumbs-down goes to King County.

King County’s Solid Waste Division is scouting the county’s south end for land where it can build a new station to replace the nearly 50-year-old, outdated, outmoded transfer station in Algona when it closes.

The 15-acre site at 28721 W. Valley Highway emerged last fall as the county’s surprise, preferred alterna-tive. Of several sites earlier under consideration within city limits, only the one east of the mall is still on the county’s list.

King County will make its final decision in 2014.

Opponents, who wanted an unequivocal haymaker of a no, got some but not all of what they had hoped to get from the City.

While the City Council struck a number of confus-ing “whereases” and “where-fores,” at the beginning of the resolution opposing the site, it left intact language that would leave West Hill residents responsible for mitigating stormwater drainage onto the site.

Senior Nick Brooks’ walk-off RBI single lifted top-ranked Auburn Mountain-view past Decatur 9-8 in the state 3A baseball quarterfinals at Centralia last Saturday.

The Lions (24-3) play Kennewick at 1 p.m. Friday in the state semifinals at GESA Stadium in Pasco. A win puts the Lions into the title game at 4 p.m. Saturday against the survivor of the Mount Si-West Seattle

semifinal, which is set for 10 a.m Friday.

“We have the talent, the focus, the ability and the desire to win two games this weekend,” coach Glen Walker said. “We are confident in our abilities as a group and will compete until the end. We expect nothing less than a state championship!”

Against Decatur, Auburn Mountainview, as it did in the district playoffs, pulled out another win in dramatic fashion.

The Gators (17-11) had taken an 8-6 lead into the seventh inning, but the Lions responded.

Brice McCulloch led off the bottom of the seventh with a double. Matt Ander-son singled before shortstop Tyler Friis tied the game on a clutch two-run single up the middle.

The Lions then loaded the bases on a walk, single and fielder’s choice, setting the stage for Brooks, the South Puget Sound League 3A Play-er of the Year, who connected on the game-winning hit.

Raven senior Rachel o’Neil competes at the district meet. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter


a loser-out game against Highline the Lions (13-12 overall) have been on fire.

On Monday, Auburn Mountainview finished sixth in the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A tourney with a 2-2 record, including wins in two loser-out games.

On Friday the Lions begin play in the state 3A tourna-ment with a noon game against Meadowdale at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.

For Lions coach Alicia Thompson, the team’s chal-lenging SPSL schedule was a

crucial part of its success in the postseason.

“The SPSL 3A is the toughest league in the state,” Thompson said. “The top four teams in our league – Enum-claw, Peninsula, Bonney Lake and us – all earned state berths this weekend. Compet-ing against these teams all year and hanging in most games – most of these games were close, we were in every game – prepared us well. My girls are fighters. We faced a lot of adversity this year. They continue to give their all and never give up.”

Thompson credits the team’s senior leaders, includ-

ing ace Delene Colburn and infielder Quierra Bradford.

“Delene stepped up big af-ter we lost our other pitcher,” Thompson said.

Colburn, a first-team, all-league selection who is hit-ting .494 this year, switched from catcher to pitcher at the beginning of the season to give the Lions the best chance to win.

“She hasn’t been able to (play catcher) this year and has been selfless and never complained,” Thompson said. “She keeps up the intensity when the team is down. She has a competitive fire that the team feeds off.”

Bradford, another all-league first-teamer who boasts a .447 average this year, also has made an im-pact for the Lions.

“Quierra demands a lot from herself and her team-mates,” Thompson said. “Her teammates look up to her.”

Thompson continued: “I have been telling my

kids all season to work hard and don’t be disappointed. We just need to get through league play, then postseason is going to go well for us.

“Coming in as the 12th seed into districts, teams underestimated us. We’re peaking at the right time.”

“This team continues to prove that they are one of the best teams in the state of Washington,” Walker said. “There is a ‘never say die’ attitude among every single player. They love playing the game.

“There were times when it seemed like our season was going to end, but as Brice McCulloch said to us (the other day), ‘I knew that that was not going to be my last at-bat as a Lion,’” Walker said. “This team finds ways to score runs and consis-tently responds positively when placed into a dire situ-ation. I love this team.”

The win was the Lions’ fifth in six meetings against their SPSL rivals this season.

Senior Kekoa Nahaku finished the game with a 5-for-5 performance.

Friis had two RBIs and a double and senior Jeffrey Morgan added two RBIs and a double, as well.

Auburn Mountainview junior Joey Cassano earned the win on the hill with 3 2/3 innings of relief.

Decatur shortstop Isaiah Hatch, who played for Au-burn Little League during its dream season in 2010, homered twice in the game.

Auburn Mountainview opened the state regional at Ed Wheeler Field in Centralia with a 2-0 victory against Glacier Peak. Brooks threw a complete-game shutout, striking out 10.
