Passionate about the city she grew up in and deter-mined to take on its most difficult challenges, Nancy Backus says she is ready to serve Auburn as its next mayor.
“I want to help a city I love so much,” said Backus, who announced her can-didacy this week.
Backus, the deputy mayor and a 10-year City Council member, is the third candidate to commit early to the mayoral race, joining Scot Pondelick, an
Iraq war veteran, and lock-smith Frank Lonergan.
Pete Lewis has decided not to pursue a fourth term in office.
If elected in Novem-ber, Backus would become the city’s first female mayor. Backus – endorsed by Lewis and other city officials – says her credentials and extensive work in the community make her a good fit for the job.
“I’m real excited. It’s a lot of work,” Backus said. “My family and I have talked

If a man robbed a bank today and a red light photo enforced intersec-tion or a toll system snapped a photo of his car as he sped away, police and
prosecutors would not be allowed to use the images against him in any criminal investigation.
But a bill making its way through the Legislature aims to change that.
Where current state law says the
images can only be used to prove traffic violations, House Bill 1047 would make “the records, photo-graphs, digital photographs, micro-photographs, videotapes and other

The Pacific City Council will investigate in the coming weeks the option of changing from the cur-
rent strong mayor-council form of government to a council-manager.
Council members decided at their Tuesday workshop to form a committee to determine what the switch would entail for the City.
“I want to start a discussion of the City changing over to a council-manager form of govern-ment,” said Mayor Pro-tem and Councilmember John Jones.
If Pacific were to change its form of government, it would have to

about it for a long time. It’s really what we want to do, and I have their full support. I feel very blessed and very thankful that I can pursue something I feel passionate about.”
Backus was first appointed to the council in July 2003 after Jeanne Barber retired and has since been elected three times to the council. She serves as chair of the City’s Plan-ning and Community Development Committee, the Council Operations Committee and leads the Commit-tee of the Whole meetings.
Backus has worked for The Boeing Company for 24 years in finance-related roles. A manager in cost management, Backus also has held leadership positions in finan-cial accounting.
“My years of experience creating and analyzing financial statements and budgeting for Boeing definitely benefit our city – especially in these difficult financial times,” Backus said. “Auburn deserves a leader who can make the difficult financial deci-sions and keep us moving forward in a positive way.”
Backus says it’s important to maintain and grow levels of basic service in the community, even when there are fewer dollars to spend.
Lewis and the council have kept the City in good fiscal shape, surviv-ing the throes of a deep recession, Backus said. She wants to build on that.
“Auburn is in reasonably good
shape when you look at some of the cities around us. We have weathered the storm better,” Backus said.
Roads, parks among her priorities
Improving roads, maintaining and strengthening basic services and making way for strong economic development – not just in the down-town sector, but elsewhere – are among her priorities.
“Definitely roads are a big issue for our city,” Backus said. “We have not been unable to fund roads, and I know that’s one of the things Pete still wants to work on during the remainder of his term, and I’m fully supportive of that.
“I want to ensure that we main-tain and continue to grow our parks,” she said. “… You need qual-ity of life for the people who live in your city, and having good parks is one of the things that will bring other people and businesses to our city.”
Backus says she understands the importance of partnerships and intends to continue finding new partners and new ways to keep Auburn a great place to live.
“I appreciate the leadership pro-vided by Mayor Lewis over the past 12 years, and the partnerships he has created,” Backus said. “We may have different styles, but they work for us.”
Her goal is to engage more with the City employees and listen to their ideas.
“I don’t have all the answers,” Backus said, “but I know that working as a team and surrounding myself with great people is the way to learn more and make our City even better.”
Michael Hursh, advisor to the ma-jor, will serve as Backus’ campaign chair and former councilmember Lynn Norman will be her senior advisor.
In addition to her work with the City, Backus is on the board of the Valley Regional Fire Authority, actively participates in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, and has served with the National League of Cities Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Policy Committee, as well as a two-year term as president of the Washington Elementary PTA.
Backus recently retired as presi-dent of the Miss Auburn Scholar-ship Program after 33 years. The program has grown, with $400,000-plus being awarded to contestants during her tenure.
Backus, a 1979 Auburn High School graduate, earned her associ-ate of arts degree from Green River Community College in 1981 before receiving her bachelors of science degree in accounting a few years later.
Backus and her husband, Kemon, have been married for 15 years and have a 14-year-old daughter, Lucky.
“My family has made sacrifices to allow me to do what I do, and I love them even more because of that,” Backus said.
[ backus from page 1 ] put the option to a public vote. A change in form of government could be placed on a ballot by either a citizens’ petition or a city council resolution.
The move would take many of the responsibilities and authority held by Mayor Cy Sun away from him and put them in the hands of a professional city manager.
The committee, which includes Jones and Hulsey, will report its findings to the council at either the Feb. 4 or Feb. 18 workshops.
Pacific is among 228 Washington cities that oper-ate under the strong mayor-council form of government. In that system, the mayor – who is elected by the citizens of Pacific – operates as the city’s chief administrative officer, carrying out policy formulated and adopted by the city council. The mayor attends and presides over council meetings but does not vote, unless there is a tie. The mayor can veto ordi-nances, although a majority vote by council may override the veto.
In the council-manager system, a professional city manager is hired to take over the administration of the city, such as handling
personnel issues and direct-ing the daily operation of the city. The manager serves at the pleasure of the council, which is responsible for hir-ing and firing managers.
In this form, the mayor is recognized as the head of the city for ceremonial purposes but has no administrative du-ties. The mayor is chosen from among the serving coun-cilmembers by the council.
Should the City adopt the council-manager form, all current councilmembers would need to stand for reelection at the next general or special election.
In Washington State 52 cities now operate under the council-mayor form, including Fircrest, Fife and Edgewood.
One of the benefits of the switch for the City of Pacific would be having a professional administrator to handle the day-to-day opera-tions of the City, instead of an elected official.
“There have been a lot of issues and concerns about people getting out of hand,” Jones said. “This City has had a long, tumultuous relationship with mayors in the past, and this may be the way we deal with that.”

By ROBERT WHALE
River Mobile Estates residents know that the Reddington levee on the Green River north of Brannan Park in northeast Auburn isn’t up to snuff.
And lest they forget, the water that sometimes sloshes through the park when the river rises will be there to refresh their memories.
King County officials say that the levee east of the mobile park, built more than 50 years ago to provide flood protection to surrounding agricultural lands, and prone to seepage, is not up to today’s design and construction standards.
“The Reddington levee con-tains the 100-year-flood event in that channel as it is right now, but that’s about all it does,” said Steve Bleifuhs, manager of the River and Floodplain Management Section of King County. “In terms of its construction, we know it’s not adequate.”
The problem is that its builders put the levee on the river side of a former channel, which is a wetland today. So while the levee keeps the flood within the channel, it cuts off the wetland that stores the water at the same time, backing it up and flooding the adjacent mobile home park.
Devastating flooding impacts are possible if a flood exceeds the chan-nel capacity through that section of the river.
But this is the year that the King County Flood Control District, a special taxing district created by King County residents, rolls up its sleeves and gets busy on the levee’s replacement.
The project removes the existing
levee, while building its replace-ment further west from the river. It also extends it 6,600 feet north from 26th Street at the southern bound-ary of Brannan Park to the northern boundary of Monterey Park.
The second phase, in the early discussion stage only – would extend the levee beyond the northern end of Phase 1 to South 277th Street.
There is no money for Phase 2 – not yet. But City officials hope that by the time the first phase is finished, the KCFCD will have the money and be ready to roll on Phase 2. But even if this final phase is not built for years, City Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy recently told members of the Plan-ning and Community Development Committee, the new levee will stand on its own as a significant improvement for the residents of River Mobile Home Estates.
“It does provide for the mobile home park a tremendous benefit that we don’t have right now, which is they have a very seeping levee in front of them now,” said Dowdy. “The moment we get phase 1 built, all the residents of this mobile home park will be much better protected than they are today.”
While the project will widen the channel and provide increased flood protection, it will also provide ecological benefits. Without the existing levee and its underwater armoring, the river will be free to meander within a wider corridor, making it more free flowing and offering more natural ecological processes and benefits for fish.
Significantly, because the west-ward relocation of the levee will displace 16 mobile homes, addi-tional property must be purchased to replace what’s lost. Those mobile
homes also have to be replaced.For its part, the City of Auburn
has to do five things:• Change the comprehensive
plan designation of the replacement property to the south from public and quasi-public to moderate den-sity residential. The City Council did this Dec. 17.
• Change the zoning in that area to make it align with com-prehensive plan designations and change it from public use zoning to residential mobile home park zon-ing. This issue is scheduled for the City Hearing Examiners consid-eration in late January and could be brought to the City council by early February. King County will reimburse the City for all expenses it incurs for the project.
• Acquire the replacement area. The idea is to replace those 16 units and some RV parking as private roadways are extended in the mobile home park through the area. This will be subject to council approval in concurrence with the purchase price.
• Replace park land lost to the project. The new levee alignment will impact the eastern part of Brannan Park, that is about 2.99 acres of the developed park land.
“The levee is going to be close to the outfield fence, but what it will take is from the existing trail to the water’s edge,” said Daryl Faber, director of Auburn’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Department.
The City bought Brannan park in the 1970s using federal land water conservation funds. The grant requires that if parkland is lost, the same amount must be found else-where. The City must get permis-sion to do this.

recorded images,” available to law enforcement officers who first obtain a lawfully-issued search warrant.”
Lawmakers wrote the restriction in to prevent authorities from misusing photos and footage in viola-tion of privacy rights.
According to a release from the King County Prosecutor’s office, the restriction, while well intentioned, is “too strict” because it prohibits the po-lice from seeking a search warrant, “which a judge would have to approve, to view the photos and footage in the course of a criminal investigation.”
Twice in the last year, according to the release, Seattle Police homicide detectives were prohib-ited from obtaining traffic control camera footage in the course of an unsolved murder investigation. Even if the police had sought and obtained a search warrant approved by a Judge, the re-lease states, the police could not have used the evidence to prove criminal wrongdo-ing at trial.
Auburn Defense At-torney Tom Campbell noted that the amendment keeps in place established constitutional guarantees of due process.
“As a defense lawyer, it’s really difficult to argue that people don’t have the protection of the Constitu-tion under this language,” Campbell said, noting that law enforcement still has the responsibility to take a warrant establishing prob-able cause to a judge or a magistrate before it can actually get those images.
“The images aren’t go-ing to be available to any other person,” Campbell said. “For instance, in civil lawsuits you couldn’t get to it, so it hasn’t opened up anything in that sense … The criminal defense lawyer in me, however, would be wondering why only law enforcement would have access. Certainly, if I wanted to establish a de-fense on my client’s behalf and thought that there were images favorable to the defense depicted on photo enforcement cameras, as a defendant I think I would be entitled to those.”
Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee did not respond to a request for comment.
The King County Police Chiefs’ Association, the Washington Association of the Prosecuting Attorneys and dozens of police agen-cies support the amend-ment.

Sonics are more than just a team
As I was making my coffee on Monday morning I received a surprising email.
It was a statement from King County Executive Dow Constantine regarding the sale of the Sacramento Kings to a Seattle business group led by Chris Hansen, a man well known for his efforts to build a new basketball arena.
The news of the sale wasn’t surprising to me, the fact that a press release from Con-stantine’s office about it was what caught me off guard. Rumors that the sale was all but finalized had swirled for close to two weeks. When they first began circulating I thought for sure that we were a mere 24 hours away
from the official an-nouncement.
Instead, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a holiday to honor the ac-complishments of a civil rights leader, one of the first things on my mind as I head out the door to
work is the return of the Seattle SuperSonics.Kind of crazy, right?First of all, I know the heartbreak for the
fans of the Kings. I became a Sonics fan at the age of 10. I remember two or three members of the team coming to my elemen-tary school when I was in fifth grade. I will never forget sitting on the floor in the gym, wearing my Girl Scout uniform, standing up to answer a question asked by one of the very tall players. As a reward for getting it right, I got a Sonics team poster autographed by the players who were there that day.
From that moment on, I was a loyal fan. As a teen, I recall watching Detlef
Schrempf train on the track at my high school during the offseason. I remember leaping to my feet and shouting when Shawn Kemp threw down a thunderous dunk, espe-cially when the Sonics were playing the Lak-ers. I was inspired by the play of Gary Payton for his ability to step into passing lanes, poke the ball away from unsuspecting opponents and score in transition.
And when the Sonics made it to the 1996 NBA Finals during my senior year of high school, I remember it as a glorious time.
Losing part of my pastSo when Clay Bennett moved the team
to Oklahoma City, as we all knew he would, it was like losing a part of my child-hood. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to share those memories with my daughter at a game.
Unfortunately, I know all too well what Kings fans are going through. But I’m selfish in some respects, and I want the team that thrilled me for most of my life to return. I want the Sonics to return, not just for myself but for all the fans here who felt scorned when they abruptly left.

Coal trains pose risks to us and to our environment
I trust that many people will be writing about the adverse effects of coal trains passing through our commu-nity health wise and econom-ically, but it is imperative to remember that the coal train issue is a basic human rights concern.
I studied abroad for two semesters in China, including for a fall semester in Beijing when days passed where the air quality constantly exceeded 500 parts per million, and where I contracted an upper respiratory infection.
I am appalled that here in our valley and in the Pacific Northwest, whose residents have long considered themselves to be so advanced when it comes to environmental protection
standards, we’d be willing to turn a blind eye and literally passively allow governments on the other side of the world to continue to poison their own people in the name of profit for a select few in our region.
Imagine living in a city
where you look out the window of your apartment and cannot even see past your block because of the smog. Imagine living in a city where the healthcare system reflects even greater social dispari-ties than we see in the U.S., in which those forced to breathe this toxic air most are those least likely to pay for the medi-cal services they will need as a result of their time outdoors. Is this the kind of future and economy we want to support?
The coal trains will undoubt-edly harm not only our own citizens, but the fact that we are considering allowing ourselves to be culpable in the suffer-ing of people throughout the industrializing world should even further appall us into uniting into one resolute “not in anyone’s backyard.”– Kristiana Henderson

Bills deny public’s right to information
Two Bills making their way through the Washing-ton State Legislature aim to take away the public’s right to transparent government and review of public deci-sion making.
If your city or the state ever made a decision you
questioned, or if you joined a committee to have your city council members or state officials hear your side of a controversy, then write your senator and represen-tative immediately and stop House Bills HB 1128 and HB 1185.
Laws on our books protect a citizen’s right to information.
Yet HB 1128 is titled “Limiting Public Records Requests.” HB 1185 creates a cost environment wherein
those that ask to see “re-cords belonging to them as the public” will be charged fees up to the salary of government employee.
The public is already pay-ing the salaries to maintain and retrieve public records for the public, so this is asking citizens to pay twice in order to make it too expensive to ask to see the materials upon which deci-sions are made.– Karen Levenson

Losing weight is a popular New Year’s resolution. For many people, this can be a real chal-lenge, often met with frustration, disappointment and failure.
For most individuals, the key to a successful weight loss program is determination and consistency. It probably took months, if not years, to put the weight on, so be patient, as it may take weeks before noticing results.
Healthy weight reduction is considered one to two pounds a week, which translates to a 500- to 1,000-calorie decline each day.
In addition, every 3,500 calories consumed equals one pound in body weight.
The average man needs about 2,500 to 3,000 calories every day, women 1,800 to 2,000 calories. Initially, add up the daily calories you consume and begin your calorie reduction from this point. This makes it easier and less intimidating to begin your weight loss pro-
gram. Next, select foods to eat ev-ery day as part of a well balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, protein, cereal, milk; consume fewer sweets and carbohydrates (i.e., bread, pasta, rice, bread).
Additional weight loss tips:• Do not eat within 3-4 hours of
bedtime. Eating before sleeping is one of the best ways to put weight on.• Fifteen minutes prior to a meal,
drink 8 ounces of water or eat a green salad with low calorie dress-ing. This helps to start filling up the stomach so you do not eat as much. It helps with portion control.• Eat three healthy meals a day,
and do not skip meals. This helps prevent binge eating.• Get your protein: the average
healthy man needs 56 grams a day, women 46 grams. Examples of protein: nuts, cheese, yogurt, chicken, fish. Steady protein intake throughout the day helps
decrease snacking, as it gives you more constant and sustained en-ergy, and you feel less hungry.
Besides eating a healthy diet, exercise is the other important half of a successful weight loss and health maintenance program. Ideally, exercise 30 minutes, five to seven days a week.
If you are just starting out, go slow and make it easy and inviting for yourself: go for a five-minute fast walk daily, and add five more minutes a week. Before you know it, you will be easily walking 30 minutes or more daily with little thought or effort. If you do not have time in your day to go to the gym or walk around your neighborhood, buy a pedometer and clip it to your waistband; walk 10,000 steps a day.
Last, become accountable and honest for everything you put in your mouth. It’s your body, your image, your health – do not
worry about what others think. Be patient, but realistic.
If after several months you are still struggling to see results, make an appointment to see your doctor. Sometimes it is nearly impossible to lose weight if you’re on certain prescription medications (i.e., steroids, certain antidepressants) or if you have certain medical conditions such as a thyroid disorder or obstruc-tive sleep apnea.

Offering some weight loss tips
The heartbreak of the team’s departure in 2008 has diminished – even more so today with the likely return of the Sonics.
I am not a part of Han-sen’s ownership group nor can I control the Maloof family’s actions. All I can do is celebrate the return of my beloved Sonics to Seattle, the building of a new arena, and the idea that a little piece of my childhood will always be there.
Bringing the Sonics back is not just about having another pro sports team in
our town. It’s about jobs, the economy, but most sig-nificantly to me, it’s about families and community.
Welcome back, Sonics. My inner 10-year-old is jumping up and down.

Auburn’s Allison Arthur, a student at Jefferson High School, topped a field of 11 other contestants last year to qualify for the Miss Washing-ton Teen Pageant.
The Miss Auburn Scholar-ship Program is one of the largest and most successful community-based scholarship competitions of its kind in the state. In 1997 the Miss Ameri-can organization proclaimed the Miss Auburn Scholarship
Program to be the largest in the entire Miss America local pageant system. It continues to provide more than $40,000 each year to local young women pursuing educational goals.
The Miss Auburn pageant, an official preliminary to the Miss Washington and Miss America Pageant, is open to young women of the Auburn community who are interested in serving in a leadership role that fosters community service.
The Miss Auburn Outstand-ing Teen Program was added three years ago.
The program will again sup-port the Auburn Food Bank. Those who donate $1 can vote for their favorite contestant on both nights. Votes will go toward a scholarship for the winning contestant, with all proceeds from the voting ben-efiting the food bank.

Raven girls healthy, focused on sprint to postseasonBY SHAWN SKAGER
The three Washington State title banners on the wall are a constant reminder to the Auburn Riverside girls basketball team.
“It sets our standards re-ally high,” said senior guard and co-captain Kendall Fos-ter. “It always has, and I hope it always will. We see those three banners everyday at practice, and that’s what we want to achieve.”
Despite changes to the program over the years, the winning tradition endures. Right now, the Ravens boast a 10-2, second-place South Puget Sound League North 4A record, 12-4 overall.
This year Auburn River-side came into the season coached by Tim Nelson, its fourth head coach in five years.
According to Foster, the resignation of former coach Terry Johnson – who led the team to a Washington State 4A title in 2010 – came as a shock.
“We were all surprised,” Foster said. “We thought for sure he’d be here for our senior year. We weren’t expecting it at all.”
Despite the shock, the team responded well to its new coach.
“It’s played out real well,” Nelson said. “I knew I had kids that played very hard and understood the game
well. The kids have been really good, they’ve adapted well and done everything I’ve asked them to do. Part of the reason I took the job was the kids played real hard and were respectful. They’re good basketball players.”
Foster said that the first thing the team had to get used to was Nelson’s gentler guiding hand, a striking con-trast to the style of former, and much louder, coaches.
“It’s completely different for us because we’re used to a coach that is yelling at us, but rightfully yelling at us,” Foster said. “He doesn’t yell. He gets it across in a differ-ent way.”
Senior Shantell Jackson, averaging a double-double, agreed:
“I’ve been coached by people who yell most of the time to get their point across. Coach Nelson is different.
He’s softer and mellow, so that’s a big transition for me.”
Jackson said the team’s style of play remains the same under Nelson.
“They like to get the ball up the court and run, that’s how Johnson was, (Adam) Barrett as well,” Jackson said.
“He’s focusing on the run-ning and getting shots up,”

said senior co-captain Ilona Snyder. “I like it because it feels like I’m getting more shots.”
Now, with just a handful of games left in the regular season, the Ravens hope they are over any adjustments and ready to peak heading into postseason play.
“I just had to wait for a couple of kids to come back from injuries,” Nelson said. “Kendall and Tessa Van Diest both had ACL injuries. But we’re getting over all the injuries and everybody is practicing.”
On Tuesday, Auburn Riverside cemented its hold on second-place with a 71-59 road win over rival Kentwood (10-3 league, 11-4 overall).
“I feel like we’re peaking,” Foster said. “We’ve been playing really well the last few games. When the whole team is together, it feels good. I think if we’re playing well and on the same page we can beat any team. Our team strength is our chemistry.”
The Ravens put their strength to the test Friday when they travel to Mount Rainier to play the No. 1 4A ranked Rams (14-0, 17-1).
“I think we’re able to beat teams like that,” Jackson said. “We’ve all been together since the sixth and seventh grade, so we have that mentality. Having them (Mount Rainier) in the league just sets the bar higher. We have to work harder because we know we’re better than that team, we know that we can beat that team. It all just brings us closer and we get to work harder to bond as a team. Because that’s how you beat teams like that — you play together.”
Jackson added:“I feel like we’re playing our best ball as
a team right now. Sometimes when we don’t play as a team, we’re up and down. But when we play like a team, we’re unstop-pable. It’s awesome.”
The Ravens play Mount Rainier at 7:30 p.m., Friday.

Patsy Ruth SpencePatsy Ruth Spence (Pat) passed away on
January 16, 2013 surrounded by family.Pat was born in Doniphan, Missouri on
March 9, 1933. Pat married her childhood sweetheart, Harold Spence, at age 16, and they settled in Auburn in 1959, where they raised three children. Pat and Harold celebrated 63 years of marriage this past September.
Pat is survived by her loving husband, Harold Dean Spence, their three children, Ronald Alan Spence (Ron) and Rebecca Susan Spence (Becky) of Auburn, and Randal Dean Spence (Randy) of New York. Also grieving Pat’s loss are her brother, Tom Crook of Federal Way and sister, JoAnn Blanchard of Yakima, and many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews.
Pat was an active mother and wife, choosing not to work outside the home. She took pride in having completed her high school education at Green River Community College. Pat was an avid reader, enjoyed country music, container gardening and ‘the hunt’ for collectibles. Basset hounds and cats were also a passion. Quilting and crafting kept Pat busy in her later years and her creations are treasured family heirlooms. Her friends knew Pat as a ‘tell it like it is’ kind of gal. Her sage wisdom, guidance and love will be infinitely missed.
A private memorial is planned. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association and online sentiments may be journaled at www.price-

THE TEDDY BEAR RUN for MultiCare Auburn Medical Center – a large motorcycle ride designed to collect and bring the comfort of stuffed animals to the hospital – returns Feb. 10. The South King County Chapter of Alky Angels presents the annual ride.
Riders will gather the South King Alano Club,
1317 Harvey Road, Auburn, and depart at 12:30 p.m. for an eight-mile leisure route to deliver new stuffed animals at the hospital. Once they get to the parking lot, a drill team performs. Riders will drop their stuffed animals in collec-tion barrels and enjoy a hosted lunch.
The stuffed animals will go to the hospital
for emergency room, surgical, obstetrics and dementia departments. Last year’s ride gathered more than 1,200 teddy bears that were distrib-uted throughout the year.
For more information, call 253-939-6541 or contact Laura Gavin, event coordinator, at [email protected].

Seeking a fr iend from 1951: Seeking the name of a divorced man in his late 20’s in 1951, who lived in the nor theast cabin of the Wilson Cot- tages at Lake Meridian Resort in Kent, Wash- ington, for 6 weeks in June-July of 1951. His neighbors worked for Boeing and may know his name. He was un- employed at the time, and m ay have been looking for work. He was the only single per- son who l ived in the complex of cabins then. I have pictures of the cottages and resort of that period. His name is important to my family history, so if anyone has information that might lead to him or his legacy, please contact Lloyd at 360-518-1296 in Van- couver, Washington.
