King County launches levee project By ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

King County kicked off the Red-dington Levee Setback project at Brannan Park on Tuesday afternoon, launching the largest flood-risk reduction project since the King County Flood Control District formed in 2007.

Affecting some 596 properties in Auburn, 321 residential and 275 commercial, the project will remove the existing levee and builds its replacement further west from the river. It will extend the levee 6,600 feet north from 26th Street at the southern boundary of Brannan Park to the northern boundary of Mon-terey Park.

According to King County of-ficials, the levee, built more than 50 years ago to provide flood protection to surrounding agricultural lands

Sheryl Comb’s eyes water, the words strain and trail off into silence.

One week after a man, allegedly drunk, ran a red light and smashed his SUV into a taxi at Auburn Way

North and East Main Street, killing cabbie Brian Love, 56, on impact, Combs still reels in a vortex of shock and grief.

She and Love had been together for more than seven years. Love was Combs’ fiancé. He was her world.

“He was a good guy,” Combs said,

next to friends Monday outside the Rainbow Cafe on East Main Street, Love’s downtown hangout for more than 20 years.

“I am numb. I keep expecting him to walk through the door,” Combs said.

With Cy Sun’s recall as mayor of Pa-cific officially certified by King County Elections of Tuesday morning, the City Council wasted no time getting on with the business of choosing the City’s

mayor for the next two years. At a special meeting that same

evening, council members separately interviewed then nominated John Jones and Leanne Guier as candidates, on Wednesday they hosted a public question-and-answer forum, and on Thursday were expected to choose

between the two council members. Results were unavailable as of press

time.Upon the official validation of Sun’s

recall, the final tally was 949 (65.4 per-cent) votes in favor of Sun’s recall, and 502 (34.6 percent) in favor of retaining the former mayor.

With 1,453 of the 3,016 ballots that had been issued counted, the official voter turnout was 49 percent.

Upon certification, Mayor Pro Tem James McMahan temporarily assumed the duties of mayor and issued his first

M Street SoutheaSt underpaSS

to open July 22The long-awaited opening of Auburn’s M Street Southeast

underpass is scheduled for Monday, July 22 after a ribbon

cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. The ceremony will be at the

intersection of 4th Street Southeast and M Street

Southeast. The public is invited to attend.

The project, which began construction in February 2012,

separates M Street Southeast from the at-grade Burlington

Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway’s Stampede Pass

rail crossing. “We know the closure of M Street Southeast has been a major inconvenience for

our citizens,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “But now, the road will be safer and more functional

for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as

alleviate traffic congestion well into the future.”

Funding for the project came from multiple sources, including contributions from

the Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, BNSF Railway,

the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), the Washington

State Freight Mobility and Strategic Investment Board

(FMSIB), the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund

Board, Federal grants, the King County Department of Natural Resources and

Parks-Wastewater Treatment Division, and local funds.

Total cost of the project is $22.3 million.

NEW LIFE FOR VAN

City leaders got a look this week at what Auburn’s animal control of-ficer has been up to since starting in January.

Among the things the stats in the report, Auburn Animal Control Second Quarter Review, reveal – more and more Auburn residents are calling 911 to request animal control services.

And that ACO George Winner has been one busy man.

“If we had to sit here and ask our-selves if there is a need (for animal control services),” Police Cmdr. William Pierson told members of the Municipal Services Committee Monday as they scanned the report, “There is most definitely a need.”

The ACO’s main responsibilities are enforcing animal control ordinances, assuring proper licensing of applicable animals and teaching residents about animal care and control.

Here is what the report has to say about animal control-related calls for service over the first six months of 2013:

• 911 dispatched calls for service: up 18.7 percent

• Calls residents make directly to the ACO: up 91.2 percent

• Calls self-initiated by the ACO as he is driving around: up 142.9 percent

• Wildlife-related calls: up 133.3 percent

• Calls for service by other police officers to the ACO: down 25 percent

• Deceased domestic animal calls: up 20 percent.

The report also details the number of animal control reports, citations and infractions issued, as follows:

• Contacts with residents in per-son, by phone or via e-mail: up 57 percent

• Police reports written: up 74 percent

• Animals impounded: up 78 percent

• Criminal citations issued to Au-burn residents: up 550 percent

• Number of infractions issued to Auburn residents: up 606 percent

• Written warnings: up 80.3 percent.

Most of the infractions fall within the $30 range.

On another matter, the City re-cently entered into a contract with the Sumner Veterinary Clinic to control animal control-related costs. Any time an animal is injured, taken in by a citizen or impounded by the ACO and the owner can’t be found, the City has to pay the costs. The instruction in the contract with the Sumner Vet-erinary Clinic directs that the animal be treated only for pain control and comfort.

“Of course, that’s fairly vague, and depending on the veterinarian, that could mean a whole lot,” said Au-burn Police Chief Bob Lee. “We were seeing some vet bills that were rather high and we probably wouldn’t be able to sustain that, so entered into an agreement with Sumner Vet where they would not exceed $150 per animal. That’s only in the event we can’t locate an owner.”

Lee said the City made the same offer to Auburn veterinarians, and they turned it down.

Report: More residents requesting City’s animal control services

and prone to seepage, is not up to today’s design and construc-tion standards.

Not that the residents in River Mobile Estates need to be told that the present levee isn’t up to snuff. The water that sloshes through the park when the river rises is a yearly problem.

The problem is that its mak-ers put the present 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 channel capacity through that section of the river.

The second phase – in the early discussion stage only – would extend the levee beyond the northern end of Phase 1 to S. 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. But even if this final phase is not built for years, City Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy told members of the Planning and Community Development Committee earlier this year, the new levee will stand on its own as a significant improve-ment 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 resi-dents 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 pro-vide ecological benefits. Without the existing levee and its under-water armoring, the river will meander within a wider corridor, making it more free flowing and offering more natural ecological processes and benefits for fish.

Significantly, because the westward relocation of the levee will displace 16 mobile homes, additional property had to be purchased to replace what’s lost. Those mobile homes also had to be replaced.

July 1Kitchen fire: 9:40 p.m., (Auburn). Firefighters responding to a report of smoke and flames in a mobile home found that the owner had already used a garden hose to snuff out a small fire in the kitchen area.

defibrillator had activated, and a private ambulance transported her to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup.

July 4Brush fire: 9:48 p.m., (Lakeland Hills). Firefighters used hose lines to keep a brush fire in check on a steep embankment in Lakeland Hills until they could climb down the hill to extinguish the fire. Fireworks were the likely culprit.

July 5Aid call: 8:19 a.m., (Auburn). Firefighters helped an older woman who’d been complaining of hip and abdominal pain and transported her to MAMC for more treatment.

July 6Unauthorized burning: 9 p.m., (Lea Hill). Firefighters responding to a reported backyard burn in a fire pit discovered that the owners had not acquired the proper permit for the recreational fire, so they schooled them in the methods for future recreational fires.

July 7Aid call: 11:23 a.m., (south Au-burn). Firefighters responded to an Auburn senior with chest pain, treated him at the scene, and trans-ported him in stable condition to a local hospital.

Every great cause re-quires a person to stop for-ward and make that dream a reality. Several years ago I had the pleasure of working with a leader in our town who underestimated her ability to make the dream of a critically ill young man come true.

In 2008 Cullen Steele was diag-nosed with pulmonary hyperten-sion, a disease that requires the

Kent boy to take a bat-tery of drugs, including wearing a backpack that administers medication intravenously at six-minute intervals. Cullen, then a third-grader at Holy Family School in Auburn, was told he

would eventually need a heart, double-lung transplant.

But before the specialists at Stanford University would put him

on the transplant list, his family had to raise $75,000 to help pay for expenses that wouldn’t be covered by his medical insurance.

Fortunately for the Steele fam-ily, there is an organization called the Children’s Organ Transplant Organization, COTA, that exists just for this purpose. The people at COTA met with the family and local volunteers to organize a one year fundraising campaign. At this point, Amy O’Donnell-Riley

stepped in to be the coordinator to help make Cullen Steele’s dream come true.

Amy had a worthy cause and dedicated volunteers to help. But the path was rough. There were people who questioned why the focus on one kid, when there were plenty of people in need. Her pitch to a group of local govern-ment employees was turned down in favor of another charity. And as the year progressed it looked more and more unlikely that we were going to achieve the $75,000 goal.

Community loses a ‘nice guy’

Regarding: Brian Love, the cab driver who died in a traffic accident in downtown Auburn last week.

My contact with Brian was almost exclusively through my participation over the years with Auburn Good ‘Ol Days. For many years, I provided sound systems for the vari-ous entertainment stages and frequently would find myself handing over the microphone to Brian as he performed his announcing chores.

He was always dressed neatly, looking the part of the professional announcer or master of ceremonies that he was while imparting the information you needed to know with that wonderful voice that carried with it a quality that made you want to take a listen.

I am sad. He always interact-ed with me as an equal, always a friendly word and from my limited perspective seemed to me to be just a “nice guy.” I am saddened that our paths will not cross again.– Don Gardner, Green River Music

remembering ‘downtown guy’

I feel compelled to say that Brian Love was a unique individual who was a colorful, grass roots fixture in down-town Auburn.

Brian loved Main Street and to lose him there would be just too contradictory. He had a restaurant at Auburn Avenue and Main. He lived on Main and walked to and from his local stops downtown daily. He attended any event that was happening up and down Main Street for most of his life, and the Rainbow Café was his favorite spot.

Brian presided as announcer at the Auburn Days main stage and the grand parade for almost two decades. He started back when it was called Good Ol’ Days. His deep, velvety toned voice would resonate

let’s build a monument, a place to heal

The Auburn City Council will decide Monday whether to approve the proposed construction of a joint American/Vietnam-ese war memorial at Veterans Memorial Park.

The monument will honor not only Ameri-can veterans of the Vietnam War but also acknowledge and remember the sacrifices South Vietnamese soldiers made fighting alongside their allies.

Initial plans for the memorial call for a bronze statue of an American soldier and nurse helping a wounded Vietnam-

ese soldier, flanked by American and South Vietnamese flags.

According to propo-nents of the memorial, the intent is to remember those who fought and sacrificed fighting for freedom in Vietnam

and to provide an avenue for education and healing for those who still bear the physical, emotional and mental scars of the war four decades later.

That’s why it is mind-boggling that there is any opposition to its construction, especially in Auburn, with its rich tradition of honoring veterans.

Most of the controversy seems to center on the shared nature of the monument. It’s an opposition that comes as no surprise to those who fought to erect similar monuments in Arlington and Houston, Texas, as well as in Westminster, Calif.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Craig H. Man-deville served as executive director of the Westminister Vietnam War Memorial Committee.

For seven years, Mandeville – a decorated Vietnam veteran who served two tours of duty, receiving two Silver Stars, three Bronze Stars and three Purple Heart medals – led the planning and construction of the memorial, which is similar in purpose and scope to the proposed Auburn monument.


PUBLIC NOTICE

For more information about the Washington Expansion project, call toll free 888-892-8905 or email us at [email protected]

Please visit our website at washingtonexpansion.com.

On June 25, 2013, Northwest Pipeline GP (“Northwest”) filed anapplication with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”)requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizingNorthwest to construct, own and operate the Washington ExpansionProject in western Washington.

ABOUT THE PROJECTNorthwest has been asked by Oregon LNG to transport an incremental750,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas to an interconnect withOregon Pipeline LLC’s proposed Oregon Pipeline near Woodland, Wash.To accommodate this request, Northwest plans to construct theWashington Expansion Project, which will require the installation ofadditional pipeline and compression facilities on the existing Northwestsystem in the state of Washington.

The project consists of installing approximately 140 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline loop in ten segments along Northwest’s existingpipeline system in the I-5 corridor between Sumas and Woodland.Northwest will also upgrade its existing compressor stations at Sumas,Mt. Vernon, Snohomish, Sumner and Chehalis, Wash.

If the project stays on schedule, the work would begin on the pipeline inthe spring of 2017, with an in-service date for the pipeline and terminalin November 2018.

Construction and operation of the project will create jobs and producerevenues that benefit the state of Washington, which, in turn, benefitsthe overall U.S. economy. Local communities would benefit from theproperty taxes that Northwest would pay during the ongoing operation ofthe pipeline. These taxes are conservatively estimated to beapproximately $13 million per year.

WHERE TO VIEW THE APPLICATION Northwest’s full application with the FERC may be viewed at thefollowing public libraries:

Landowners may also review the complete application and discussalignment sheets with Williams’ land agents at:

In an email sent to Senior Vice Commander Mike Sepal of Auburn’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1741, Mandeville wrote about the resistance he encountered working on his city’s memorial, which was unveiled in April 2003.

“Persons who protest must keep in mind that the war is over. We are not talking about saying the war is right or wrong, whether the Vietnamese fought or did not fight, whether they are good citizens here or not,” Mandeville wrote.

According to Mandeville, who worked closely with the Republic of South Vietnam Army as an advisor during the war, much of the opposition to such joint American/Vietnamese memori-

als comes from the low opinion many American soldiers held for their Vietnamese counterparts.

“I hated the (South Vietnam Army) from my first tour with the 101st Airborne (1967-68),” Mandeville wrote. “I was a bat-tery commander and my unit was overrun. We found out that the local militia who was providing our security had let them in.”

During his second tour in 1972 as a regimental advisor, Mandev-ille said his opinion changed.

“I witnessed how they had looked at the war and saw first hand that they could and would fight as well, or better, than the U.S. Had I not had that tour, I would feel like many Vietnam vets feel about (them).”

Mandeville said he feels that a monument in Auburn will provide local vets, American and

Vietnamese, and their families a place to heal, much as the memo-rial in Westminster did.

“The end product will provide closure for the majority of those opposed, but more importantly, it will provide our vets a welcome home,” he wrote. “And for those who were killed, it ensures they will not be forgotten and help keep the focus on the (prisoners of war and missing in action).

“… For the Vietnamese, it protects their flag, which they lost when their country was lost,” he added. “We cannot ever feel the same as they do. They lost their country, something, thank God, we have never had to face. It is important to try to appreciate that loss, and we can help ease that pain when we have the flag of free Vietnam flying for them to see.”

over the crowd like a big smile was being sent your way. He was the embodiment of the “downtown” guy that knew the news on Main. He was like a portable “pickle bar-rel” when people used to meet at a general store to share tidbits.

When he began driving a cab his goal was to keep drunken drivers off the road. He would pop in and out to visit the festival and just enjoy it. But he couldn’t resist being the announcer when he saw me. He would do a full blown introduction just like he did on stage because he knew it would make me blush. He was a character.

Brian’s history goes back to being a DJ for KASY Radio (located on West Main) that brought the local news and sports to our Auburn radios to keep us informed at a community. He was a quirky, gentle, sauntering kind of guy that would show up at Auburn City Council meetings on a regular basis, just to keep things lively. You always knew that things would get interesting when Brian showed up.

We would like to invite anyone who loved Brian to bring a banner and have a “Don’t drink and drive” entry in the parade in his memory Aug. 10.

Fireworks are not what the Fourth is all about

Thank you, Muckleshoot, and all the morons who bought fireworks that shake the entire block when they go off.

Thank you, on behalf of my Downs daughter, who is scared to death and crying.

Thank you, on behalf of the 82-year-old neighbor lady, who is standing in her front yard shaking because she is confused and thinks a war started.

Thank you, for all the animals in my neighborhood that are scared to death and don’t understand what’s happening. Thank you, for three other neighbors with babies crying. Thanks, that in the morning I will have litter all over my yard and street. And I especially thank you, on behalf of all the veterans with PTSD who are flashing back to the worst time of their lives.

This is not what the Fourth is about.

I am so sorry, dear Muckleshoot Nation, that you don’t make enough money on the casino that you have to bring terror to my neighborhood.

Oh, and thanks for all those who had to get up in the morning, go to work and listen to this crap till 3 in the morning. Maybe if you lived here in Southeast Auburn you would only sell legal fireworks. It’s not just on the Fourth, but we have to listen to (the fireworks) from the time you start selling them in early June til 10 days after the Fourth. – Dr. Jim Brass

Just who removes campaign signs?

Campaign signs – we all love to hate them. They tend to clutter our streets and view, but they are the necessary tool to let all of us know who is running for office.

Yes, there are newspapers and other resources to alert us, but we don’t all read, so it seems these signs are the best way to know who is running for office.

What I find very disturbing is to see signs go up for the candidates - then you start noticing that just one candidate’s sign is slowly missing, or broken, or simply pulled up and left on the side of the road. This can’t be blamed on those who are walking by, as they would probably vandal-ize all the signs, not just those of one specific candidate.

So that leads me to wonder. One candidate’s signs are down, bro-ken, missing. The other candidate’s signs are still up and pristine. Who do you think damaged the first candidate’s signs? Surely, not the candidate. Perhaps that candidate’s “peeps” were charged with the task?

If that’s the case, I couldn’t and wouldn’t vote for a candidate whose “peeps” are the new thugs in town. We don’t need mafia technics run-ning our city.

I’m watching this kind of activity very closely, listening and reading when I hear the “peeps” of both sides talking about their chosen candidate. If the “peeps” aren’t reli-able, and working for positive and constructive solutions, neither will the candidate. Anger and mob prac-tices won’t “clean up this city.”

Voters, chose wisely.– Arlen Franklin

Vote Backus for mayor

When considering and compar-ing candidates for mayor of our

wonderful city, there has to be thought given to the strengths of a person in terms of human skills, technical and conceptual skills. Nancy Backus has those skills.

These skills are necessary to being a successful leader. Nancy Backus has displayed these skills while serving Auburn as a council person. And, important, she has displayed them in the many community activ-ities she has been a part of beyond her service as a council member.

The mechanics of operating our city are in place. We need someone with the experience and people skills ability to keep us going in the direction that benefits all of us. Our leader represents each of us as citizens. Nancy Backus, with her skills, along with her creditability and integrity, possesses the qualities that I feel good about.– Al Rossi

Vote Partridge for mayor

Elect John Partridge.Change is a transition toward

something different. Sometimes it’s necessary.

Vote for John Partridge.– Harold Dale Williams

Four reasons Auburn needs Riker-Yap

While driving through the area one day I was thinking that Auburn needs new leadership on the City Council. Jodi Riker-Yap is that person.

She does not belong to the elite club that runs the city currently. Jodi has the courage to stand firm in opposition to what she feels will not be of benefit to the community. She will require accountability before each vote.

Accountability. Approachable. Compassion. Integrity.

Get to know Jodi, and you will see what I mean.– Randall Smith

CorrectionsDue to reporter error the archi-

tect/artist for the proposed Joint American/Vietnamese War Memo-rial was misidentified in the July 5 issue of the Auburn Reporter. The actual artist is Jason LeTran.

The Auburn Reporter misidenti-fied Denis Law in his guest column in the July 5 edition.

As a nurse Vietnam veteran and local Auburn resident, I support the joint American/Vietnamese Me-morial proposed for Veterans Memorial Park.

I am not surprised that there is some opposition from veteran groups. That happened in 1985 as well.

Back in 1985 when I was focused on my own healing and that of my brother veter-ans, I connected with a Viet-namese hospital worker called Thu Van Nguyen who was also working on healing for her community of Vietnamese veter-ans. Together we began to share our passion for healing and our vision for how to do that.

We came up with a plan to bring all the veterans together at Veterans Hall at Seattle Center on Veter-ans Day 1985. We called it Recognition/Friendship Day. There was a lot of apposition from all of the American Veterans organizations. They were not yet healed and were still hurt and angry at what took place in 1975 and how they were treated when they came home.

I understood their reac-tions and believed they needed what we were pro-posing. I spent a lot of time supporting Thu Van Nguyen when she was frightened and wanted to back out. I stayed positive and trusted that it would all work out well if we could sustain ourselves and what we believed.

When the day finally arrived, it was one of the most healing and emotion-ally moving events that had taken place in support of our Vietnam and Vietnamese veterans.

The Veterans Hall was packed and had standing

room only. Every Seattle newspaper and TV station was there, and they had a lot to report on. We brought in the flags, and then I opened it up and shared my story of being a nurse at the 12th Evacuation Hospital, Cu Chi, Vietnam and my vision for healing for all of us, both American and Vietnamese veterans. Then Thu shared her story and vision. From

there, we alternated the sharing of stories, one American and one Vietnamese.

After the first set of soldier’s stories, the two men hugged each other and cried together, and that continued through-

out the event, story after story followed by hugs and crying. The men began to understand there was plenty of pain and suffering to go around. It was time to heal, and they began it that very day.

I went back to Vietnam in 1996 on the first Peacetrees Vietnam Trip and was able to return to Cu Chi. The one place I found a small replica of the flag of the Republic of Vietnam was a Catholic church. I took a picture of it. That flag is the one we as veterans know and remem-ber. We were there to help fight for that flag to continue to wave, for Vietnam to be a democracy so the people could be free.

We lost that fight. Let us not lose the fight to heal our veterans and their families. From Veterans Day 1986 the Vietnamese soldiers have been marching with us in the Veterans Day Parade. Now our two flags can wave beside each other in Veterans Memorial Park, and it can be a place of healing for all of us.

At one point of great frustration Amy was talk-ing to me about whether or not she was the right person to lead this effort.

She said, “I must be the world’s worst COTA coordinator.”

I lamented with her, offered encouragement, and remembered the com-ment.

Amy and her band of believers stayed the course. Auburn pastor Don Stevenson walked 1,200 miles throughout the state of Washington to raise money for the cause. A Buddy Holly tribute concert at the Auburn Avenue Theater brought the community together, raised money, and spread the word about Cullen. Friends and classmates “donated their birthdays” by asking for support for COTA instead of gifts. A Brownie troop donated their part of cookie sales to the cause.

And during one par-ticularly low point, Leon Sanders, the father of one of Cullen’s classmates, walked into an organiza-tion meeting with three checks totaling more than $6,000 – the results of scrap metal contributions by local businesses.

As the good news piled up, I frequently had the chance to kid Amy by tell-ing her, “Not bad for the ‘world’s worst COTA coor-

dinator.’ ” But as the year wound down it looked like we would fall short of the $75,000 goal.

Amy rallied her team. Pastor Stevenson talked a local choir into a ben-efit concert that raised more than $10,000. Leon organized a community scrap drive, and in the end the “World’s Worst COTA coordinator” raised more than $79,000. Because we beat the one-year deadline,

COTA added $15,000 in matching funds for a total of nearly $100,000.

Sometimes success is showing up, recruit-ing fellow believers, and persevering through tough times. Fortunately for Cul-len Steele and his family, Amy O’Donnell-Riley was there to do that.

You can help CullenCullen Steele is now 14 and a priority candidate for the transplant

list. He now carries two backpacks to deliver critical medication on an around-the-clock basis. Getting on the transplant list depends on his ability to have transportation from his Seattle area home to San Francisco in four hours or less – at a moment’s notice.

If you can help in that area, please contact Dennis Brooke at [email protected]. If you’d like to make a tax deductible contribution to Cullen’s COTA fund go to cota.donorpages.com/Pa-tientOnlineDonation/COTAforCullenS/

You also can go to www.COTA.org and search for Cullen Steele. Keep in touch with his progress at his Caring Bridge Site: www.caringbridge.org/visit/cullensteele.

Pacific Days returns this weekend

For 25 years, the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusi-asts (SOVREN) has hosted the annual Pacific North-west Historics Races.

Every year the charitable event attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of enthusiasts and spectators to Pacific Raceways to raise money for the Seattle Chil-dren’s Hospital. To date, the event has raised more than $9 million for the hospital.

The annual event is a smorgasbord of automobile fun for spectators, with some of the region’s finest Porsches, BMWs, Alfa Romeos, Ferraris, MGs and more exotic road iron vying for the checkered flag on Pacific Raceway’s 2.25-mile road course.

In the paddock and pit areas, which are open to the public, fans can shop for auto parts and memorabilia and get close up to rac-ing cars most people only dream of seeing in real life, such as the Porsche 917 driven by Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie “Le

Mans”.For Auburn’s Tana Bryan,

known as “The Datsun Lady,” this year’s event is the 18th at which she has volunteered.

In that time, Bryan said, she’s done everything from flagging on the track to

guiding people around the massive three-day event.

“I wouldn’t miss this for anything,” she said. “I’ve always been into old cars, and it helps Children’s Hos-pital. It’s also a lot of fun. I bring one of my own cars to the car show every year. Every year I let somebody else drive my own car. This year I did the parade lap in

somebody else’s car follow-ing my car.”

Bryan, who runs a Dat-sun parts supply business, said she first caught the car bug in 1976.

“I got my first (Datsun) for free in 1976, and I still have it,” Bryan said. “It’s a 1968 Datsun Fairlady, and it has about 600,000 miles on it. I drove that as my

daily driver for many years, and I started buying parts cars for it. People wanted parts, so I started selling parts, and I’ve sold them all over the world since then. So I’ve been running that for about 25 years, and I’m the president of the NWDE (Northwest Datsun Enthu-siasts) club.”

In addition to being able to get her classic car fix and show off her Datsuns, Bryan said she has a personal rea-son for coming every year.

“My daughter was a pa-tient at Seattle Children’s,” she explained. “She has a very rare disease, sclero-derma, an auto immune disease.”

For Erica Lange, SOVREN’s secretary, the event is still new.

“I love the raising money for Seattle’s Children Hospi-tal part,” Lange said, clear-ing spectators out of the way of McQueen’s Porsche as it took to the track. “I’m not as up on all the racing stuff.”

Still, she said, she enjoys the event and the opportu-nity to help lure in the next generation of car enthusi-asts.

“It’s great for the families to get out and just look around,” she said. “We want the public to learn about racing. We need to build interest because we want people to learn about these cars and vintage racing and get involved.”

Among the several clas-sic cars on display at the track was Jack and Bobbie Berg’s 1956 MGA convert-ible roadster.

“It’s basically all origi-

nal,” said Berg, an Au-burn resident. “It’s been painted but it’s never been restored.”

As he buffed the car’s paint into a higher level of shine with a cloth, Berg shared how he and his wife became the second owner of the British-made gem, which has just 55,778 original miles.

“The original owner is a friend of mine, we sail together,” Berg said. “And we were at his house for dinner one night, a whole group of us, and he

hauled this out and said, ‘Is anybody interested?’ Of course I said yeah. My wife said no.”

Berg said after a year of persuasion and an out-ing to an MG Northwest Centre car club meeting, he finally got the go ahead from the wife.

“Now if I was to leave her or something like that, which wouldn’t happen because we’ve been mar-ried 41 years, she’d take the car and give me every-thing else,” Berg said. “She loves the car that much.”

Berg said he and his wife attend several car shows and events ev-ery year, but this one is special.

“This is a charity event, all the profits go to (Se-attle) Children’s Hospital and that’s why I’m here,” Berg said. “I love to go to car shows and talk to car people. I don’t want to say car people are the friendliest people in the world, but as a rule they are. I’ve taken this to hot rod shows and been accepted, with all the big chrome V8s with 400 or 600 horsepower. This one, though, is a neat event with all the money going to the hospital. It’s really important.”

Floyd Gonzalez, the driver of the SUV, made his first court appearance Saturday. King County prosecutors charged the 29-year-old Auburn man Wednesday with vehicular homicide and for felony fleeing the scene of an accident. Bail is set at $1 million.

According to the Auburn Police statement of probable cause, at 5:51 a.m. on July 5, an Auburn police officer saw a 2002 Chevro-let Tahoe moving very fast southbound in the outside lane in the 00 block of Au-burn Way North. The officer watched the SUV “punch the driver’s side door of the taxi” directly behind the officer’s

vehicle, which was travel-ing eastbound on East Main Street on a green signal. The Tahoe rolled onto its roof, and when it came to a stop, the driver ran off westbound, leaving his injured girlfriend, Latasha Moses, behind in the vehicle. Her condition is unknown.

Officers caught up with the man on South Divi-sion Street, where a witness identified him as the driver of the SUV. Post Miranda, according to the statement, Gonzalez admitted he was the driver.

“Officers smelled an obvious odor of intoxicants emanating from the driver and believed he had been consuming alcohol while

driving”, according to the statement.

Whatever happens to Gonzalez, Love’s friends are left only with vivid memo-ries of the gentle man with the big, bushy beard, a man who should still be living but isn’t.

It is a hard loss for ev-erybody who knew Love to accept.

“A down-to-earth hippie, a mentor of Auburn,” said Vince Cuddy, Love’s friend for some 20 years. Cuddy’s father hired Love eight years ago to drive for Cuddy’s Taxi, and Love was in Cuddy family-owned Tim’s Taxi when he was killed.

“A person well liked by everyone,” Cuddy said. “He

never argued with anybody, unless you were wrong. … Everything he did he enjoyed, except not making money. And he was always a people person. We lost an icon of Auburn.”

In his younger days, friends said, Love was a disc jockey and an ice cream salesman, among many other things.

Later he owned Tory’s Pizza at the southeast corner of the now vanished Cavanaugh block at Auburn Avenue and East Main.

Jennifer Campbell, a waitress at the former Rail Tavern across East Main from Tory’s Pizza, called Love “a loving, caring, giv-ing person.”

“He used to emcee the Good Ol’ Days Parade and a lot of other functions to raise money. He emceed the Red Hat Ladies’ show. When I worked at The Rail, we bought pizzas from him, and they were great pizzas,” Campbell said.

Campbell recalled a quiet side to her friend.

“I remember he kept a spiral notebook in his pocket. He’d be sitting deep

in thought, and all of a sudden, out would come that booklet. He’d adjust his glasses and he’d sit and write for a long time. I never said, ‘What are you writing, Brian?’ But I sure wanted to know.”

Poet Paul Nelson met Love in 1997 at the Spoken Word Lab (SPLAB) on South Division Street. Love volunteered his time to SPLAB for seven years and was a poet in his own right.

“This is unspeakably tragic,” Nelson said. “You couldn’t have asked for someone more supportive, easier to get along with and more willing to do any task, no matter how menial, than Brian Love. … One thing about Brian that stands out is that he never ran anyone down. He never talked trash about anyone.

“Obviously, he was also a guy who preferred being in the background,” Nelson added. “I’ve looked through hundreds of pictures, and I can’t find one with him in it.”

“He was actually the nic-est guy you ever met,” said Linda Carson, owner of the Rainbow Cafe. “He was

friendly to everybody and never got angry.”

Combs wants to bury her fiancee but cannot: because she and Love weren’t mar-ried, she has no legal rights to claim his body for burial.

What Combs needs is an attorney but she can’t afford to pay for one.

“I’ve been trying to get the legal documents so I can bury him and take care of his truck and his stuff, but the medical examiner won’t release the body. They were going to, until they said they had to check and see if he had any other family elsewhere. I doubt if he does. He never talked about family except for an estranged sister.”

Unless Combs can straighten things out or the medical examiner finds a relative, Love’s body will remain at the Medical Exam-iner’s Office at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

“I’m not worried about me,” said Combs, “I just want to get him taken care of.”

Anybody who would like to help should contact Linda Carson at the Rainbow Cafe at 253-833-1880.

official statement, address-ing the mayoral selection process and urging the community to unite to put the beleaguered City back on track.

“I hope today can mark the beginning of a new ap-proach in Pacific – one that is inclusive, positive and selfless,” McMahan wrote. “I look forward to our new mayor leading the charge for that new approach.”

At Tuesday’s special meeting – a continuation of Monday’s regular meeting – Guier and Jones emphasized the need to assess the City’s financial state – the council has not received a financial report since October, Guier said – and to move forward. Both also underlined the

need to heal the rift that has polarized residents and City staff since Sun’s 2011 campaign for mayor.

“Realistically, the biggest healing I can think of is stability and doing your job and doing it the best you can,” Jones said. “Again, how do you make somebody that thinks differently or opposes you feel good about what you’re doing if they’re op-posed to it? I think by trying to bring people together as far as citizens’ committees and input.

“Some of it’s not going to be healed,” Jones conceded. “Some people may lose their jobs. You can’t look at that and say it’s all going to be all fluffy and hold hands and sing around the campfire. It’s just not going to work. It’s a City and a government, but

it’s still a business, and we have to move forward with that business. Sometimes some feelings will be hurt. But hopefully, in the long run, if we’re doing our jobs right and the citizens are reaping the benefit of that, then hopefully that will bring some calmness.”

Guier agreed that the priority will be mending the community.

“I think the rift you talk about, or the divide, is pretty deep,” Guier said. “And I think a lot of us feel it in our own neighborhoods. It’s a matter of – I don’t want to talk about the past. Here’s today, here’s a clean slate, let’s move forward.”

Guier added:“We’re all in this together;

we care about Pacific. The employees that are here

now, that stayed, they care about Pacific, they obviously love this community. They stayed, they got through it, and whoever becomes the mayor needs to foster those people and those feelings and build on that and bring everybody together. I always joke about just building a fire out in the parking lot and singing “Kumbayah.” It’s not a reality, but I think about it.”

Guier and Jones weren’t allowed to vote in the mayoral selection process, leaving the selection to the remaining five councilmem-bers.

Pacific’s new mayor will serve out the remainder of Sun’s term, which expires Dec. 31, 2015.

[ PACIFIC from page 1 ] Pacific candidate forum is July 16
