Local author’s novelon sex traffi cking makes it to big screen BY RAECHEL DAWSON
Molly Venzke has personally helped Federal Way girls break the hold of sex traffi cking.
“I (recently) got a text from a friend of mine,” said Venzke, an Auburn resident who works at the Federal Way Christian Faith School. “A friend of hers was approached by a gentleman at work.”
Th e woman’s low-paying job and lack of a work visa didn’t qualify her for the job this “gentleman” was saying she could get.
“He started talking to her, saying he has a great opportunity for her,” Venzke said. “If she just comes with him, meets and goes to this location, there will be work for her. It was com-pletely bogus.”
Venzke said that if the woman had gone, she wouldn’t have been seen again.

Police and prosecutors say they’re confi dent they’ve got the people behind most of the 25 fi res attributed to the arsonist who set the Auburn commu-nity on edge between September and early January.
And on Tuesday, the King County Prosecutor formally charged 22-year-
old Michael Austin McGrath of Auburn with one count of fi rst-degree arson and four counts of second-degree arson.
McGrath’s arraignment is Feb. 1 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. He is in jail on $350,000 bail.
Police arrested McGrath in coopera-tion with the Federal Bureau of Alco-hol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), the FBI, the Valley Regional Fire Authority
and other agencies and brought him into custody shortly before 2 p.m. Th ursday, Jan. 14, hours aft er the reporting of two more north-end fi res that had broken out within 15 minutes of each other.
No one was injured in the most recent fi res, which damaged a boat and an occupied home.

Pacifi c Mayor Leanne Guier has been elected to the board of directors of the Sound City Associa-tion (SCA), which represents 36 cities in King County.
It is Guier’s fi rst term on the 13-member board.
“We are excited that Mayor Guier has been elected to the board and will serve as the representative to the South Valley Caucus,” said SCA Executive Director Deanna Dawson. “Her par-ticipation will help in our

City leaders will sit down at their study session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26 to discuss and then vote on whether to purchase the old Public Health Building on Auburn Avenue North from King County.
Administrator Dana Hinman said the purchase and development agreement is likely to land on the council’s agenda for its fi rst meeting in February. If signed, it would then return to the King County Council for fi nal action.
Should the deal work out, the arts division of the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department will occupy most of the space.
Th e City already has a grant application into King County’s 4Culture for up to half of whatever the purchase price would be for improvements.
“So, it’s not only an opportunity to purchase but to have a nice outside cash fl ow to make the improvements we want. We are going to run some art space out of there,” Hinman recently told the
Auburn Reporter. Th e building started out life in
1937 as the Auburn Post Offi ce. King County acquired it in 1963 when the new post offi ce was built.
In 2009, King County put the Carnegie building up for sale on the open market. Asking price – about $620,000.
At the time, the City, in its determination to lease the building, consistently reminded county lead-ers why Andrew Carnegie had built and donated it in the fi rst place, and what he intended it to stay in perpe-tuity – a general community benefi t.
Th at was a bit more than what the City was off ering to lease it for at the time – the same one buck King County had acquired it for.
Despite the chill that descended over negotiations with the county, City leaders kept at it behind the scenes.
Th e City of Auburn late last year submitted a letter of intent to purchase.
Auburn Economic Development Director Doug Lein has been in close contact with King County’s real estate division.

He starts the conversation with a list of committees.
Human services. Technology. Finance. And Valley Regional Fire Authority.
Th ose were among the boards on which Pacifi c Councilmember Tren Walker, who concluded his tenure on Tuesday, served.
It also is why mayor Leanne Guier said Walker, who was elected to Position 7 in 2005, will
be diffi cult to replace.“He’s going to be truly
missed,” she said. “He’s been truly engaged with council. He’s sat in on just about every committee in the city. He’s done a lot of great things for the city.”
Guier said Pacifi c’s City Council interviewed six candidates to succeed Walker during Tuesday’s meeting. She expects the council to select a candidate when the council meets again Monday.
Walker, 40 said he would have liked to con-tinue to serve, but he is in the process of purchasing his parents’ house in Lake Tapps, and it needs to be fi nished “sooner rather than later.”
“I’m really bummed that I’m moving outside
town,” Walker said. “When there’s an opening on the park board, I would like to apply.”
He said his proudest accom-plishments on the council include
the formation of the VRFA, which he served on from its formation on Jan. 1, 2007, aft er the Algona, Auburn and Pacifi c fi re depart-ments combined, and “getting the city back onto its feet.” Walker was referring to former mayor Cy Sun’s tenure, which ended when he was recalled in June 2013.
Walker also is excited about the development of the City’s new website, which he said he believes will feature video from council meetings, among other items.
He is hopeful that development will result in more community engagement.
“Once the system is in, I prob-ably will watch them online,” Walker said.
He plans to participate in the process to select his successor and attend the meeting when that per-son is sworn in. Walker outlined some attributes he would like to see in that person.
“I would really like somebody who is kind of open to change,” he said. “I don’t want an argument, but I want someone who is open to debate. I would like someone to shake things up a little bit.”

Support our schools, vote yes on levy
Auburn, Algona and Pacifi c community members, please remember to vote yes for schools by Feb. 9.
Soon your mail-in ballot will arrive for consideration of a four-year Educational Programs and Operations Renewal Levy.
Th is is not a new tax. It replaces an expiring four year levy.
Th e local levy funds student-centered programs that include smaller class size, athletics and activities, the arts and music, technology like robotics, accelerated learning, specialized instruction, and extended day learning. It also funds maintenance and opera-tions that protect the public investment in district facilities.
15,000 ASD students are relying on the continued tradition of public support for local levies. Th ree years ago, the State Supreme Court ruled that the Legislature is not funding schools at a constitu-tional level, and it continues not to do so, despite multiple court sanctions imposed on the Legislature.
Consequently, local levies are even more essential to fund schools. Most of us have benefi ted from a public school education. It is time to pay it forward to the next generation.
For 36 years, I served the students of the ASD as a teacher, coach, principal and
superintendent. Th e ASD has a strong tradition of quality leadership from school board members, teachers, principals and administrators, resulting in a multitude of awards for academic achievement and fi scal excellence.
Please join me in voting yes for continued local support for our students and schools.– Kip Herren
My school tax bill remains level
Jeanne Herold should have an answer to her comment on school taxes (“Enough: vote no
on school levy”, Jan. 8, Au-burn Reporter).
I stated that voting for the replacement levy would not increase your school taxes.
Here is a record of my school taxes for the last fi ve years:
2010: $1,624.932011: $1,876.632012: $1,584.832013: $1,483.392014: $1,541.122015: $1,817.67.Th us, my highest tax year
was 2011. Th us, the total school tax remains level. Th e amount of my tax is based on the assessed evaluation of my property. Th e rate for 2017 is $4.13 per thousand of the assessed valuation of my prop-erty. If the value of property taxes goes up or down, that determines your school bill.– Harold B. Valentine
Reichert acts quickly to support families
With so much attention being given to the growing number of people with Al-zheimer’s disease in Washing-ton state, I’m grateful that our Congressman, Dave Reichert, has cosponsored a bill that will help them and their families.
Th is is particularly impor-tant for me as I was diagnosed with Younger Onset Alzheim-er’s disease in 2013 at the age of 52, and have been living with the increasing eff ects of this terminal disease ever since.
Th is disease has taken away my ability to perform the work I love as a Physical Th erapist, and will continue to have a devastating eff ect on my fam-ily.
Using all the wrong words leaves me speechless
I read a columnist somewhere last week and learned I am more out of touch with reality than my daughter, Katy, has led me to believe.
I admit I don’t remember who the columnist was or where I read it, but I am sure I am not making this up, whatever it is, because I don’t understand it.
Let’s delve into it.I have been using all the wrong words
for longer than I can remember, which isn’t long, but it must be awhile – I think.
I am trying to be very careful not to use the wrong word so this column may be
very short – depend-ing of course on … it, whatever … it … the bad word that is … is.
Back to the subject, apparently there is a snotty, spit barrel full of words I have un-knowingly been hack-
ing up when I talk and write. Th e problem is I can’t say what the words are because if I do, an inappropriate word ticket will arrive in the mail with a picture attached of my infraction and my insurance rates will go through the … high thing over my head.
I think the R-word was on the “if you say that word, we will all begin whispering about you” list.
Th e columnist spewed out a docket of “do not dare say this or that” to be afraid of … and I am now duly afraid of … it … whatever it … the bad word that is … is.
Earlier today, I was driving to the offi ce in Covington and a song inadvertently came out of my radio. It was a hit song in the early ’60s when hair was popular.
I heard the fi rst line of the lyrics and panicked. I nearly drove off into a muddy fi eld of prepositions without directional objects.
Aft er calming myself, I checked my rear view mirrors for the enforcement clauses. I appeared to have escaped a very close call.
I decided it would be a good exercise to rewrite the lyric with the proper properly-ness to help us all learn and be smiley.
Th e song begins like this: Something I’m not suppose to say, something not suppose to say … “Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot”… more things I’m not suppose to say.
Th e something I’m not supposed to say is easy pleasey. I’m pretty sure yellow polka dot is reason for uppity buckets of snorts and snarfs. Bitsy teenie weenie is likely going to make someone want to chase me with a 10-pound dictionary that has never been opened.

Th e HOPE for Alzheim-er’s Act is a bill to provide better care coordination planning aft er a Medicare benefi ciary receives an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
All too oft en we hear that aft er all the testing and diagnosis is done the physician gives the patient and family no guidance for what’s next.
In fact, the Alzheimer’s Association last March released a report showing that only 45 percent of the people diagnosed with the disease are actually told of
that diagnosis, versus over 90 percent of the time for the four most common cancer diagnoses.
Fortunately for me, my neurologist was quick to make a clear diagnosis of Alzheimer’s aft er appro-priate testing, but I know many others who have waited years for a proper diagnosis.

singer Elvis Costello famously noted, “accidents will happen.”
In July of 2014 a runaway train carrying 30 cars of Bakken crude oil crashed and burned down the town of Lac Mégantic in Quebec, Canada, killing 47 people.
In 2009 a train carry-ing ethanol derailed and blew up, killing one person in Cherry Valley, Ill. Th e National Transportation Safety Board declared that the design of the tank cars made them “subject to damage and catastrophic loss of hazardous materials.”
On Dec. 30, 2013 a train carrying crude oil derailed in Casselton, N.D., causing violent explosions and a hazardous plume of smoke.
Hazard by rail isn’t some-thing new to the fi re service — it has been a concern since train number one lumbered down the tracks. Th e new reality, however, emergency personnel in Auburn say, represents a sizable amplifi cation of hazmat by rail.
“What we’re talking about with the crude oil is massive quantities of a fl ammable product, moving through what are essentially urbanized areas, like down-town Seattle or through our corridor here,” said Valley Regional Fire Authority Chief Mike Gerber.
“Th e diff erence of that versus the occasional train that goes through hauling an industrial chemical, or chlorine, or whatever is that these things are giant. Th ey’re a mile long, full of millions of gallons of this
volatile crude oil coming out of the shale. And if a train does catch on fi re, they know now that it’s highly fl ammable, in fact, far more fl ammable than what crude oil used to be,” Gerber said.
Information such as how many trains pass through a city like Auburn every day and when they will come through the railroads consider proprietary and something that needs to be hidden for public safety, said Auburn Traffi c Safety Engineer Joe Welsh.
According to the As-sociation of American Railroads, some 400,000 carloads of crude oil trav-eled by rail in 2013 to the nation’s refi neries, up from 9,500 in 2008,
In the spring of 2014, the State of Washington issued its Marine and Rail Oil Transportation Study.
Gov. Jay Inslee read the report, got on television,
and declared, “we need oil train safety.” Th e feds stepped in and said, “we need to start talking about rail safety and regula-tions.” Th ere was talk of 25 to 30 more oil trains a day headed to refi neries up north for off -loading, refi ning and shipping oil to overseas markets.
Time out, said infl uential voices, including that of Auburn City Councilman Bill Peloza, we need to look at this. His attention was riveted to the issue by newspaper editorials in 2014 and by his own exten-sive research.
What Peloza has done since is raise concerns about possible eff ects on public safety, water resources, the environment, the economy and traffi c. At his urging, on April 1, 2014, the City Council passed a resolution requesting that agencies conducting envi-ronmental reviews study
the issues outlined above and asking that Auburn “be included in any environ-mental impact statements related to any project that may cause an increase in oil rail traffi c through Auburn.” It also asked that the federal government immediately implement safety regula-tions aff ecting older tank cars, train speeds and other identifi ed hazards associ-ated with fl ammable crude oil.
“We’re not going to stop the trains from running, but we can regulate things like speed,” said Peloza, who later brought the subject to the attention of U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria
Cantwell. In 2014, the King County
Council directed its offi ce of emergency management to run a tabletop scenario to see what a worst-case, worst-place scenario would look like.
Th e scenario was that a mile-long train, headed north on the tracks, had derailed at the boundary between Tukwila and Se-attle along Interstate 5, just to the side of West Marginal Way where the Duwamish River runs through.
“It became apparent quickly that nobody by themselves has the capa-bility to respond to one of these large oil train disasters,” Gerber said. “You know, dozens of cars involved. And nobody ever will. It’s going to be a regional eff ort. It’s going to be an eff ort between public and private partnerships.
“And that’s what we work off of today,” Gerber said of the City of Auburn’s emer-gency management plan.
All the agencies involved in the exercise agreed that writing a plan for this spe-cifi c incident may or may not be of value.
“We said it’s hazmat by rail, it’s just a big quantity of it,” Gerber said. “If it tips and spills, it’s a hazardous material spill, and we’re go-ing to have to bring in the Department of Ecology and
probably federal resources. Also, the vendor, which is BNSF or Union Pacifi c, whoever’s running the rail, is going to be obligated to bring their resources into that. And we can partner with that.”
As Gerber emphasized, the VRFA is a small town fi re department, not a big city agency like Seattle or Tacoma.
“So for us, we call upon all of our help around through our automatic mutual aid agreements, but that’s going to be exhausted the minute something big happens. And then we’re going to go to the county level, and they’re going to start allocating resources from all the diff erent fi re zones. We’re going to end up with hazmat teams and fi re suppression equip-ment, and everything we can do in the initial stages to prevent whatever further damage is going to occur,” Gerber said.
“We run an evacuation scenario in almost every exercise we do through Auburn’s Emergency Man-agement Offi ce or Pacifi c’s or anybody else’s. And the reason we do that is famil-iarity with evacuation plans is something that nobody ever practices. We want law enforcement and us to be on the same page when it comes to it,” Gerber said.

Also, detectives late last Friday developed suffi cient information to fi nd probable cause to arrest a 16-year-old boy, McGrath’s cousin. Police said the boy was involved in at least six intentionally-set fi res, two of which targeted occupied residences. He was booked into the King County Juvenile Detention Center for fi rst-degree arson.
Both individuals worked together and separately on several arsons, police said.
Auburn Police learned this information while trying to verify details obtained during McGrath’s arrest.
Auburn Police say Mc-Grath, whom they suspect of setting at least 18 fi res in Auburn since September, is “an admitted drug user,” whose drug use “makes him feel invincible, causing him to set structure fi res.”
Between October and November, 11 residential structures were intention-ally set, according to VRFA reports. Non-structural fi res were also intentionally set along the Interurban Trail or involved Dump-sters and fl ags.
Th e occupied residential structure fi re for which Mc-
Grath is charged with fi rst-degree arson occurred on Jan. 13 at 1231 43rd St. NE. Th e four counts of second-degree arson are linked to fi res on Nov. 8 and Nov. 13, and two on Jan. 13.
All of the aff ected struc-tures were clustered on the north end of the city, where McGrath lives. Most of the fi res were set between 6 and 11 p.m., and appeared to be random, investigators con-cluded. Nobody was hurt, but in some cases struc-tures sustained signifi cant damage. According to the Auburn Police Department’s Certifi cation for Determina-tion of Probable Cause, on which the prosecutor is bas-ing its case, during the Nov. 8 fi re, which was localized to a large detached garage, a po-lice offi cer contacted a man in a camoufl age jacket who rode up on a gray mountain bike.
“Th e male verbally iden-tifi ed himself as Michael McGrath … Michael’s behavior was strange. He would not make eye contact with me, and when I asked him what he was doing or where he was go-ing, he would not provide specifi c answers,” the offi cer reported.
Auburn Police Cmdr.
Mike Hirman said that McGrath left an identifi able fi ngerprint on an automo-bile following a Nov. 19 fi re that damaged a home and surrounding property. Ac-cording to police, a warrant was written and served on Dec. 2 to begin collecting location data of McGraff ’s cellphone.
An ATF agent of-fered police the general characteristics of a serial arsonist: an 18-28-year-old man, solitary and a poor communicator, who has engaged in minor crimes in their past – typically trespassing, vehicle prowl, burglary and minor sex off enses – has a hidden deformity that would lead to social insecurity, and has recently sustained an emo-tional triggering event.
‘Fits the profi le’According to what
police wrote in the CDPC, “McGrath fi ts the profi le of a serial arsonist. (He) grew up in the 2400 block of N Street Northeast and is presently believed to be transient in that area. Several clusters of fi res are within a few blocks of 2400 N St. NE. Michael’s
girlfriend … (lives) within a few blocks of other fi re clusters.”
Also, his address and that of his girlfriend back up to the Reddington trail, a foot and bicycle path that runs along the west side of the Green River and is designed only for pedes-trian and foot traffi c, and McGrath is known to ride a bicycle, according to the CDPC.
Police said they identi-fi ed emotional events in McGrath’s life that trig-gered the arsons identifi ed above, including confl icts with his girlfriend.
At 2 a.m. on Jan. 14, having received the report of the two fi res, a police offi cer reviewing the location data learned that McGrath’s phone placed him at both fi re scenes even before they had been reported to the VRFA or to Auburn Police.
“On one of those ve-hicles we lift ed a print and found that the latent print belonged to one of the per-sons of interest that we had already identifi ed,” Hirman said. “Th e diffi culty, of course, was that it was on the outside of the car, and that could easily be
explained. We then set up, through the assistance of the ATF, electronic surveil-lance of this individual and monitored his movements and activities.”
During the interview aft er his arrest, according to police, McGrath admit-ted to having set numerous fi res spanning Sept. 19 and Jan. 14.
“We identifi ed evidence that links that suspect to those locations, and we’re happy to say … we arrested that individual, and he is in custody at this time,” Hirman said. “We’re hoping that these fi res stop now.”
McGrath’s rap sheet includes past charges of sec-ond-degree burglary, pos-session of a stolen vehicle, assault and harassment.

Think of it!How musicians hold sound
inside their heads;
how they rev it up, pour it out––
a temperature inversion
blasted into the balconies.
What if you could see
Rachmaninof’s Variations
shimmering before you,
Ed Meyer raising havoc
with Giovanni Bottesini’s
Concerto in B Minor––
music made at this moment,
tweaked from the bridge
of a double bass, plucked
from the beard of the man
with the violin?
What if you could see
the fat notes rising, rowdy
corpuscles careening
through the veins of his arm
and into the concert hall
––a tapestry richer than
anything Croesus owned.
Wouldn’t it change your life?
Think how music slides into
our bodies, funnels down
through our intricately
folded ears––how we
cradle it deep inside––
and when the concert ends,
carry it into the rainy streets:
A hot front rising.

Auburn Goodwill sports a new look and more con-venience for customers to fi nd treasures.
Th e retail thrift store and donation center, a com-munity fi xture for many years at 1519 Auburn Way S., reopened Th ursday with a new design, part of the regional company’s push to improve the customer shopping experience.
Th e 18,257-square-foot Auburn outlet is one of three Goodwill retail stores – Tacoma and Federal Way are the others – that opened this week with new signage, fl oor layouts and other shopper-friendly features.
Other Goodwill stores will follow. Th e company’s new design will expand to stores throughout 15 coun-ties in southwest Wash-
ington and the Olympic Peninsula over the next four years.
“It’s been awhile since we’ve changed our look. It’s a whole diff erent feel. It’s been long overdue in the (Auburn) community,” said Terry Hayes, CEO of Goodwill. “We wanted to have a store that’s more appealing to our customers, making it easier for them to fi nd bargains and look at the merchandise that’s so unique. We felt that would be helpful to them and helpful to us in the process.”
Goodwill’s new layout features more organization and visible non-stacked merchandise. An electronic testing station, bilingual easy-to-read signage, an airy, lit atmosphere, and central, spacious fi tting rooms complement the
eff ort. Converting cashier locations from multi-line supermarket-style checkout to a single serpentine line ensures customers don’t end up in the slow lane and entices shoppers with ad-ditional merchandise.
While people are in line, the store can better inform them about Goodwill’s free job training programs and services for the unem-ployed, the company said.
And store pricing will not go up to accommodate store design, the company said.
Feedback from custom-ers helped usher the store redesign.
“Goodwill is so diff erent in some ways from a typical retail store because a lot of what we have is just one of,”
Hayes said. “You have to go out and fi nd that treasure, and our job is to make sure it’s laid out in a way for customers to fi nd them in our store.”
Th e new modern design will also appeal to a younger demographic and increase sales, the company said. Increased sales mean more store revenue to fund Goodwill’s four job training campuses and two satellite training offi ces in the region.
True to its mission, Goodwill store revenue funds free job training and job placement in a variety of career fi elds.
Auburn’s store hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Th e Auburn School Board recently presented the Gold Star Volunteer Award to Hugh Hoover and Steve Ray for their work in the classroom.
Bringing 80 years of computer programming experience with them, Hoover and Ray volunteer from 7:30 to 9 a.m. every day at Auburn High School in Scott McLaughlin’s Advanced Placement com-puter science course.
Brought in through Microsoft ’s Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS) program, Hoover and Ray agreed to a two-year stint to prepare McLaughlin to teach com-puter programming.
“When we started last year, Scott couldn’t spell programming,” Ray joked.
During the 2014-15 school year, Hoover and Ray taught the students and McLaughlin observed. During this school year, McLaughlin has taken over teaching while Hoover and Ray augment and help as needed. It’s a big time commitment in which both men strongly believe.
Th e goal is to familiar-ize students with com-puter programming and provide the knowledge so McLaughlin can success-fully teach without their
support next year. Last year, the fi ve
students who took the AP computer science exam scored high enough to get college credits.
Ray, who has a degree in computer programming, retired in March aft er 40 years at Th e Boeing Co. He began volunteering in the program before he retired.
Hoover retired two years ago, also, aft er a 40-year pro-gramming career, working for multiple companies and retiring from Microsoft .
Ray has four children, all Auburn School District grads, and two grand-children. His wife, Kathy, retired from Auburn High last year. In addition to vol-unteering at AHS, he vol-unteers weekly at Lea Hill,
where his daughter, Liz, is a second-grade teacher.
Hoover has three children, one an Auburn High graduate, the others a sophomore and senior at the school. Th is year has been especially rewarding for him because his son is enrolled in the AP com-puter science course.
Elsewhere The Auburn School District Board of
Directors also recognized Billy Dan-iels, day custodian at Mt. Baker Middle School, for his outstanding service.
Daniels is more than “just a custo-dian” according to Mt. Baker principal Greg Brown. He is friendly, person-able and truly gets to know the stu-dents. Known as Mr. Billy to staff and students, there is a long waiting list of students who want to be a teacher assistant for him.
Daniels received his plaque for 15 years of service to the ASD last spring. He has been at Mt. Baker for eight years. Prior to his time at Mt. Baker, he worked at Dick Scobee and at Boeing. He loves the people, staff and students at Mt. Baker. He likes to connect with kids. He remembers kids’ birthdays, asks them about their athletic events, gives them high-fi ves and just talks to them. ...
Rainier Middle School took sec-ond place in the America Recycles Day Challenge for Washington schools. The annual clothing recycling competition encourages students to collect cloth-ing for recycling and re-use. USAgain places and services collection bins at each participating school, which all receive revenue based on total pounds collected. Bremerton High School won the competition. ...
Chevron USA. Inc.’s Fuel Your School program recently generated $600,000 to help fund 736 classroom projects, including 306 focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The program will help connect real world experiences to classroom learning for 83,104 students at 226 King County public schools.
Among the Auburn school project fund recipients: elementaries, Alpac, Arthur Jacobsen, Chinook, Dick Scobee, Evergreen Heights, Gildo Rey, Hazelwood, Ilalko, Lake View, Lakeland Hills, Lea Hill, Pioneer, Terminal Park and Wash-ington; middle schools, Mt. Baker and Cascade; and high schools, Au-burn, Auburn Mountainview and West Auburn. …
Auburn’s Isaac Drewes, a per-formance and church music major at St. Olaf College (Northfi eld, Minn.), recently performed in the St. Olaf Christmas Festival, one of the oldest musical celebrations of Christmas in the U.S. Drewes is the son of Timothy and Cheryl Drewes and a graduate of Auburn High School. …
Auburn’s Robert Burdick (senior, natural resources, straight-A average) and Adrianna Parent (freshman, biochemistry and biophysics, 3.5 or better) made the fall term honor roll at Oregon State University. … Kamron Hamedi, a freshman premed/predent major of Auburn, was among ap-proximately 480 Bob Jones University students named to the fall president’s list, which recognizes students who earn a 3.75 or higher GPA. Located in Greenville, S.C., Bob Jones University is a biblically faithful, Christian liberal arts university. … Auburn’s Silas Gilliam was named to the 2015 fall semester dean’s list at St. Norbert College (De Pere, Wisc). A minimum
3.5 grade point average is required for academic eligibility. … Auburn’s Em-ily Reeves made the dean’s list for fall term at Eastern Oregon University’s. … David Olson of Auburn recently earned a master of arts in business and marketing education at the University of the Cumberlands (Williamsburg, Ky.). … Auburn’s Zachary Martin made the dean’s list for fall semester at Grand View University (Des Moines, Iowa). …
Incoming Pacifi c Lutheran University student Krista Vavrik, of Auburn, has been awarded a prestigious President’s Scholarship worth $25,000 a year – along with the opportunity to earn even more.

Families with multiple dogs often have unique issues related to jealousy and favoritism.
Problems may range from ag-gression to marking in the house or stealing the other dog’s toys and food.
To help prevent, or resolve, conflicts in multi-dog households,
follow these tips:Give each dog alone time –
alone with you (so each dog gets one-on-one attention) and time to be totally alone (to help prevent separation anxiety). Make this part of your daily or weekly, routine. Use this time to take a walk, practice a little obedience or teach a few tricks. Individual time helps with bonding and commu-nication.
Treat all dogs equally when they are together to prevent jeal-ousy. Many aggression issues arise when owners give preferential treatment to one dog (due to age, size, or other factors). When all the dogs are together, it’s best to treat all the dogs the same. Every dog gets equal attention and time. Every dog is expected to obey basic obedience commands to earn privileges.
Understand the needs of each dog. An energetic puppy will need more exercise, training time and supervision than an elderly senior canine. It’s not fair to expect the older dog to entertain or exhaust the youngster.
Exercise the youngster with a long walk or play session before putting the two dogs together. Both dogs will be much happier.
Never allow dogs to behave in a protective or aggressive manner when interacting with one an-other or human family members.
Even seemingly minor issues involving aggression can escalate to dangerous levels. Seek pro-fessional guidance from a dog trainer with experience in this area to set up a management and training plan.
Consider these helpful tips for multi-dog households
Dog flu may be on the rise in King County FOR THE REPORTER
Health officials in Se-attle are warning that a new strain of dog flu, which has sickened at least 2,000 dogs in 25 states since last spring, may be in King County.
Since it is a novel virus, all dogs, regardless of breed or age, are at risk of infection when first ex-posed. The virus is highly contagious, and dogs get sick easily.
Symptoms include
cough, runny nose, and/or fever. Sick dogs may be lethargic.
Dogs can come down with the flu within 24 hours of exposure. Some dogs don’t show symptoms but are able to infect other dogs for weeks.
This strain of canine influenza isn’t deadly, but it can cause a secondary infection like pneumonia, which can kill dogs.
Just like with human flu, the virus can be spread by direct contact, contaminat-ed objects such as hands, surfaces, clothing, etc., and through droplets in the air, which may travel up to 20
feet or more. The virus can live in the environment for about two days and on hands and on clothing for up to 24 hours.
If the virus enters a ken-nel or other closed group, a high percentage of the dogs becomes infected, and most will be symptomatic.
Once this virus gets a foothold in the community, there is a risk of continued transmission, especially at places where dogs con-gregate such as dog parks/beaches, dog daycare and boarding facilities, groom-ing facilities, and veteri-nary clinics.
Dog owners whose dogs
are coughing or showing other signs of respiratory disease should not expose their dog to other dogs, and should contact their veterinarian. Early veteri-nary evaluation is crucial
to identifying and stopping potential outbreaks.
A great website that has information for dog own-ers is doginfluenza.com. If you have a dog, check it out.
And be on the lookout for coughing, runny nose, or fever in your dog. If you see those symptoms, keep your dog away from other dogs, and call your vet right away.

oeing wrapped up a strong performance in 2015 with a record number of airplanes produced and
many other accomplishments. But its centennial year will be challenging with a major focus on being more competitive seen as key to the company’s long-term success.
Thanks to a tremendous team effort, in 2015 Boeing produced a record 762 commercial airplanes. In 2014 the company delivered 723 airplanes – the previous year, 648. Climbing this hill was not easy, and the entire company takes pride in this achievement, which leads the industry.
Other accomplishments in 2015 include building the first 737 MAX, achieving firm configuration of the new 777X airplane design and celebrating the first flight of the KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker. Boeing also set a record for parts and services orders, expanded the 737 Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field and hosted China President Xi Jinping.
It’s a different dynamic when it comes to new orders for airplanes. In 2015, Boeing booked 768 orders – a substantial number, but a 50-percent drop from 1,432 in the previous year. And Airbus recently reported they booked more than 1,000 orders – besting Boeing by nearly 25 percent.
In looking at the numbers, the important thing to note is that airline customers’ priorities have shifted. They are more focused than ever before on the prices they pay for airplanes. Price is what matters and Boeing must respond.
“We build and support great airplanes – still the best in the world – but Airbus has improved its quality while
maintaining lower pricing – presenting a tough choice for even our longest-standing customers,” said Ray Conner, Boeing vice chairman and president and CEO of Commercial Airplanes.
Boeing believes the competition with Airbus will grow more aggressive this year – especially since timing and external forces could affect large airplane sales. To en-sure its long-term position in the market, in 2016 Boeing is sharpening its focus on designing and building qual-ity while accelerating efforts to reduce costs.
“This is the first time in our history where we are com-peting in every single market segment,” Conner said. “It’s head-to-head competition with Airbus, and we’re also preparing for future competition from China, Brazil, Canada and other countries.”
The good news is that Boeing announced produc-tion rates will climb again this year as the 767 program moves to build two airplanes per month and the 787 rate climbs to build 12 per month. Meanwhile, the 737 program will lay the groundwork for next year’s jump from 42 to 47 jets per month.
In July, Boeing will celebrate 100 years of world-changing innovation. It’s a reminder that together with our local communities, we do great things – each and every year.

Boeing and
engineering union
reach tentative
agreement on
contract extension
Boeing and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace
(SPEEA), representing more than 20,000 employees, recently announced a tentative agreement on a new six-year contract extension, following several weeks of discussions.
“This tentative agreement recognizes the significant contributions of our engineering and technical workforce and reinforces Boeing’s commitment to the Puget Sound region,” said Boeing Vice Chairman and Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.
Highlights of the tentative
agreement include:
Market leading compensation
Expanded workforce stability protections relative to Puget Sound engineering work movement
A transition benefit to a new retirement program
Modest increases in employee contributions for market-leading health care
“These negotiations were possible because SPEEA and Boeing decided not to let our areas of disagreement prevent us from making progress on items where we do agree,” said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director in a news statement. “These contract extensions are the result of a lot of hard work and good will. Hopefully, this gives us a template for the future.”

Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright (#50) can be for-given if years from now he doesn’t remember everything he saw during a tour in late December of Boeing’s facil-
ity in Everett, Wash. That’s because his VIP tour of the Everett Flightline and factory ended with him on bended knee before his longtime girlfriend, Nathalie.
As two Boeing employees, wearing bow ties with their cov-eralls, unfurled a banner saying, “Nathalie – will you marry me?” down the side of a 787, Wright popped the question before his shocked girlfriend and her family who were visiting for the holi-days. Needless to say, the answer was yes!
Wright devised the unique proposal plan because his now-fiancee’s father is an aviation enthusiast who he knew would enjoy a tour of Boeing’s Everett site. Wright was joined on the tour by another notable guest – teammate Jimmy Graham – a registered pilot.
Linking up for the long game:
Boeing, Callaway fulfill need for speed
Seahawks linebacker pops the question
When engineers from Boeing and the Callaway Golf Co. got to-gether for a cross-industry col-
laboration last year, the knowledge and experience applied to airplanes on the runway resulted in a golf club that can drive a ball farther down a fairway.
An innovation by Boeing engineers to modify air flow around the club contrib-uted to what they have validated through testing as a faster driver — Callaway’s XR 16.
The project began last year when Cal-laway sought the expertise of the world’s leading aerospace company.
“We’ve made a lot of strides over the years to improve aerodynamic efficiency in our products, but we decided it might be a good idea to call on the experts at Boeing and ask, ‘could your expertise help us design a faster club?’” said Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of re-search and development at Callaway.
That simple question led to a special assignment for a small team of engineers led by Wayne Tygert, chief project engi-neer of 787 Airplane Development, and Jeffrey Crouch, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow, Aero Flow Physics, who saw it as an opportunity to learn from experts in other industries.
“Reducing drag, controlling air flow and improving aerodynamic perfor-mance is a critical part of airplane de-
sign and something we take a lot of pride in doing extremely well,” Crouch said. “I was very curious to see how we could translate our experience to golf club design.”
Newer team members like Adam Clark, an aerodynamics engineer in Flight Sciences, and Harrison Chau, a configuration design engineer in Air-plane Configuration and Integration, gained valuable experience on short-flow product development and innova-tion cycles.
Despite the collective knowledge of the Boeing and Callaway group, the project presented some unique chal-lenges, the engineers said. For ex-ample, unlike airplanes, drivers move through space with rapid changes in orientation.
Crouch, with Clark and Chau, deter-mined that the best method to increase the speed of the driver was to use a lo-cal air-flow modifier, called the Speed Step, on top of the club head. The Speed Step essentially alters the flow of air around the driver head enough to improve its speed from the top of the swing through impact with a golf ball. The increased speed upon impact can lead to greater distance for the driven golf ball — something every golfer of any talent level seeks.
“I love my job as an aerodynamicist at Boeing, but it’s always great to learn from engineers in other industries,” Clark said. “This was a great opportu-nity to push myself and grow my skills and experience.”

ecoming students for the day, a group of Puget Sound area teach-
ers participated in interactive exercises illustrating basic aerodynamic principles such as lift, thrust, drag and weight that they could take back to their classrooms during a recent day-long Airplane 101 class in Everett, Wash.
The program, hosted by Flight Servic-es Marketing and the Museum of Flight, is one way Boeing aims to build students’ interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). By bring-ing teachers in to experience airplanes up close and talk with experts, Boeing gives them a unique perspective on the principles of flight, which they can then share with their students.
Larry Seto, product marketing man-ager of flight training for Flight Services, led the teachers through the interactive exercises. Later, the lessons came to life when the group toured the Commercial Airplanes factory and the 787 Dreamliner static test bed, where they saw how Boe-ing simulates stresses on the airframe.
“I now can offer my students real-world examples of careers in aviation,” one teacher wrote in an anonymous evaluation of the class.
Another wrote, “I plan to use these teaching techniques and examples in my class.”
The teachers indicated that touring the production line — and taking aero-space knowledge beyond books — was particularly important to them. “I like hav-ing personal experience to refer to when teaching,” one teacher wrote.
As Boeing prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2016, preparing and inspir-ing future innovators is a key focus, and programs like this can help influence the education environment, according to Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services.
“Teachers play an incredible role in shaping our future workforce,” Carbary said “This was a great opportunity to give teachers the tools they need to in-corporate basic aviation principles into their curriculum.”

Situations like this, seem-ingly harmless opportuni-ties, that have contributed to the approximately 27 million people now being traffi cked around the world, a statistic from Th e A21 Campaign.
To create awareness and fi nd a way to donate to the cause, Venzke wrote the fi rst of three books called “Caged” in 2011. Her second book, “Caged No More,” came out on Jan. 4.
Nearly a year aft er “Caged” was published, she was contacted by movie producer Lisa Arnold, who had produced and directed “God’s Not Dead.”
Not only did she want to turn Venzke’s book into a movie, Arnold asked Ven-zke to write the screenplay.
Four years later, “Caged No More,” the movie, is set to release in 200 theaters nationwide Friday, with more to follow.
According to a news release, “Caged No More” highlights how complex it is to rescue those who have been traffi cked. Character Aggie Prejean (played by Loretta Devine, a “Grey’s
Anatomy” actress) is a Cajun grandmother who searches for granddaughters Skye (played by Cassidy Giff ord, an actress in “God’s Not Dead”) and Elle, who were kidnapped by their father, (played by Keven Sorbo, an actor in “God’s Not Dead” and “Hercules: Th e Legendary Journeys”). Th eir father takes them to Greece to be sold into the sex trade but Aggie is deter-mined to fi nd them. With help from the girls’ uncle, a New Orleans philanthro-pist, and his son, former Special Forces, a “global hunt ensues.”
“Th ey go on a hunt against the clock to be able to rescue the girls,” Venzke said, adding that while the movie is rated PG 13 for the topic of sex traffi cking, the fi lm itself doesn’t depict any graphic or scary scenes. “You leave that movie feeling empowered – we can stop this and make a diff erence.”
Venzke said churches and high schools are showing the fi lm, which was awarded “Best Feature” in October at the 2015 La Femme Inter-
national Film Festival in Los Angeles, Calif.
All of the proceeds from the novel and movie will be donated to nonprofi t Traf-fi cking Hope, an anti-traf-fi cking organization Venzke used to work for.
Venzke was the copy-writer for the organiza-tion’s website, which was launched in 2007.
“It was really, for me at the time, the only organiza-tion I knew of,” she said of the Louisiana-based non-profi t. “I remotely worked for them and did all kinds of stuff as a writer.”
Th en, as she started doing research on sex traffi ck-ing in the United States, it opened her eyes to how prevalent human traffi ck-ing is.
“I would write stories for the girls when they would rescue somebody,” she said. “It broke my heart, and I wanted to be more involved.”
According to Th e A21 Campaign, only 1-2 percent of sex traffi cking victims are rescued.
Living and working in the south King County area, Venzke has also heard local stories.
One in particular stands out:
“A young girl who was in high school right here in Federal Way met an 18-year-old boy, she was 14,” she said. “He came on the campus and was just hanging out in the parking lot, they didn’t know this guy wasn’t a student, and he was what you’d call a recruiter, a deliverer of the girls.”
Venzke said recruiters develop a relationship with girls and take them to a location where the actual pimps are, and leave.
“Th at happened (to this girl) and serious by the grace of God, four days later, she was found,” Ven-zke said, noting the details of what happened during those four days are unfath-omable. “Th is is happening.”
Outside of novels and fi lms, Venzke is helping pi-lot a project under Traffi ck-ing Hope called Students Against Traffi cking, or StAT. Th e project allows students to be involved with their peers in a fun way, while addressing the issue of sex traffi cking and how to prevent it.
“It’s really awesome because you get these high school kids and they take it through college,” she said, adding that if a man does not buy sex by the time he’s 25, the chances of him buy-ing it aft er the age of 25 are extremely low.
“Caged No More” will be playing in Tukwila at the AMC Southcenter 16, at 3600 Southcenter Mall, as well as at a theater in Lyn-nwood.
For more information, visit www.cagednomore-movie.com.
‘Caged No More’ is a feature fi lm that raises aware-
ness of human traffi cking, aids in connecting anti-traffi cking organizations, and equips par-ents, schools and churches to aid in traffi cking prevention. Starring Kevin Sorbo, Emmy-Award win-ner Loretta Devine, Alan Powell,
and Cassidy Giff ord with appear-ances by Kathie Lee Giff ord, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Natalie Grant. Premieres Friday. To see the trailer or obtain more information, visit cagednomoremovie.com.

FOR THE REPORTER
As a great grandson of Ole and Anna Oie, Norwegian pioneers who settled on the East Hill of Kent in 1890, author Morris Willard Skagen’s dream of publishing the “History of the Soos Creek Plateau from 1860-1960” has been achieved.
Th e book, aboout 450 pages in length, includes maps and early photo-graphs of the area.
All aspects of the de-velopment of the plateau are included, with major emphasis on farming, which was the main means of liveli-hood for plateau residents. A major focus of the book is on the settlers and families who lived on the plateau. Between
1860 and 1960, most of the plateau, which covers an area of approximately 70 square miles, was served by the Kent Post Offi ce, including Cov-ington and most of Lea Hill.
Skagen grew up on the 70-square-mile area above Kent called the Soos Creek Plateau and graduated from Kent-Meridian High School in 1955. Combining that with an occupation as an accomplished librarian, his exhaustive research, together with scores of anecdotal stories and oral histories weave an appealing account of the rugged men and women who settled Th e Plateau. Morris’s love of the area and his encyclopedic
knowledge of its places and hard-working ancestors is refl ected in his writing. His historic collection of artifacts, photographs and ephemera residing in the Heritage Cen-ter at Soos Creek Botanical Garden has served to inform this fabulous compilation
depicting the rich history of the pioneers of Soos Creek Plateau.
Th e History of the Soos Creek Plateau is published by the University of Wash-ington Bookstore Press. Th e cost of researching, writing and printing of the book
has been underwritten by 4Culture, the King County organization that provides grants for a variety of art and history projects.
Th e book is priced at $25. Sales proceeds support the Soos Creek Botanical Gar-den and Heritage Center.
For more informa-tion and to order a copy of the book, email [email protected] or call the Soos Creek Botanical Garden and Heritage Center at 253-639-0949.

AUBURN Ravens overcome slow start to remain perfect
Just call it a fi rst-world problem.Th at is what an undefeated
Auburn Riverside girls basketball program seems to be dealing with as the Ravens overcame another slow start to defeat Auburn Moun-tainview 52-35 on Tuesday night in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest.
“Th at’s been a reoccurring theme,” said Auburn Riverside coach Derek Pegram, whose team also surrendered 10 unanswered points to start last Friday’s game at Sumner before prevailing 55-43. “All it takes is a steal and a bucket and it seems to wake us up.”
Th at again was the case against the Lions. Aft er both teams entered the second quarter tied at 11-all, ju-nior point guard McKenzi Williams scored four consecutive points in the fi rst 40 seconds of the period. Auburn Mountainview (11-3 over-all, 7-2 league) never threatened again.
“Mountainview hasn’t lost since we played them last, so I knew they would be coming in with a lot of confi dence,” Pegram said.
Th e Lions had an eight-game win streak since suff ering a 60-37 setback Dec. 11 against the Ravens. Pegram noticed freshman Taylor Flores’ impact during that time and made it a goal to contain her. She fi nished with six points.
“What we needed to do was really focus defensively,” Pegram said.

LIONS CAPTURE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE VICTORY
Auburn Mountainview overcame Auburn Riverside senior post
Quintin Bethea’s 26-point performance to earn a 48-41 win Tuesday in a South Puget Sound
League 3A boys basketball game.Senior center Tristan Miguel
paced the Lions with 15 points. Miguel’s classmate, guard Ryan
Lacey, added 12 points for Auburn Mountainview (14-1 overall, 8-1 league). The Lions, who
play at 7 p.m. Friday at Bonney Lake, have won four consecutive
games. The Ravens (8-7, 4-5) dropped into a tie for fourth
place with Sumner in SPSL 3A with the setback. They play at 7
tonight at Enumclaw. Meanwhile, Auburn (8-7, 3-6) lost its second
consecutive game, 73-67, against Enumclaw. Jason Brown scored
24 points to lead the Trojans, who play at 7 p.m. Friday at Peninsula.

“We put a lot of focus on Flores. She’s been doing a really good job.”
Auburn Riverside (15-0, 9-0) also accomplished it with a diff erent lineup than usual as senior forward
Kiana Drumheller came off the bench. Pegram said Drumheller missed the Sumner game because she participated in a volleyball tournament in Missouri.
“Just coming back we thought it was best that she come off the bench,” he
said. “It was fair to the other kids. Going forward we will reassess it and who deserves that spot.”
Meanwhile, freshman guard Autumn Lee has be-come a fi xture in the Ravens’ starting lineup since New Year’s Day. She converted
a pair of 3-pointers against Auburn Mountainview.
“Autumn moved up, took that spot and she’s not letting it go,” Pegram said. “She’s been playing with a lot of composure and has been playing really well defensively.”
Pegram, who is in his third season as Auburn Riverside’s coach, said he never has been apprehen-sive about playing fresh-men. Williams moved into the starting lineup as a freshman and junior Olivia Denton, who scored 12 points against the Lions, played signifi cant minutes in 2013-14, as well.
“We love to have com-
petition,” Pegram said. “If you’re better than the next person, I don’t care if you’re a freshman, sophomore, ju-nior or senior, you’re going to start. Th at’s kind of what we live by.”
He hopes that remains a motivating factor for the Ravens, who are pushing to reach the state tourna-ment for the fi rst time since 2011. And against that level of competition, Auburn Riverside might have more diffi culty overcoming slow starts.
“It’s crazy because at the beginning of the year we started out so well in the fi rst quarter,” Pegram said. “We had four or fi ve games
where we had a 10-point lead in the fi rst quarter.
“I’ll look at it and see if we need to start out in some-thing else defensively to get them going or if we need to mix up some sets. I’m defi -nitely going to look at it.”
Williams is familiar with the program’s history – Auburn Riverside has won three state championships since the school opened in 1995 – and she is motivated to build on that tradition. Th e Ravens have only fi ve regular-season games re-maining. Th ey host Enum-claw at 7 Friday night.
“We want to get to state,” Williams said. “We’re not going to let anyone stop us.”
