Braylynn Palmer,
survivor of four open-heart surgeries, is
seeing her wishes come true
with the help of Zones, Inc.

Opinion | Passage of oil trains poses dangers to our valley [5]
BY JULIE LINN
For the Auburn Reporter
One recent afternoon, Braylynn Palmer was diligently cleaning crusty pizza sauce off the laminated card-board pages of a Disney Princess book.
Her boisterous personality and sharp replies to questions would
never suggest that at four years of age, she had already had four open-heart surgeries. But the pale, pink line peeking out of her “Frozen” T-shirt was the flesh-and-blood attestation to the trials that have already tested her young life.
Braylynn was born with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, a life-threatening condition in which one side of a heart
fails to develop. Doctors informed Crystal Palmer,
Braylynn’s mother, about the con-dition during her pregnancy and suggested an abortion. For religious reasons, and because of the difficulty she’d had conceiving, Palmer said no, and carried Braylynn to term.

Plans for center moving aheadBY ROBERT WHALE
In 2014, the City of Auburn scrapped its original plan to build a community center at the south end of the Les Gove Community campus when the project threatened to exceed its
budget.Now the City is moving full
speed ahead on its less pricey alternative at the north end, adjacent to the Activities Center – a community and youth center that will serve generations.
No longer a prospect, this one
is going to happen.On Monday evening, City
Councilmembers got an update from Stan Lokting, principal of ARC Architects, whose firm is designing the $9 million Auburn Community and Youth Center.

During a class at Auburn’s WorkSource Center late Tuesday afternoon, “Steven” laid out for the guest interviewer what it had been like looking for work over the past three weeks.
And the positive experience he’s had working with one of the center’s veteran representatives who has connected him with area employers looking for veterans like Steven with skills transferrable to a job position.
Though, so far, no luck.“That’s why I’m in the class
because I’ve been out of the civilian
loop for so long or have applied for a job,” Steven explained. “I know things have changed over the years. I am in this class so I can learn how to get into the interview process because this is all new to me.”
How are things different, the man wanted to know?
“… Sir, the military way is very cut and dry. They look at how you compose yourself, but in these job interviews it’s a completely different type thing because I am not moving forward from a job I am already in.”
His interviewer, who happened to be Gov. Jay Inslee on a brief trip to
Auburn center helping more people find work

Auburn, laid out his own plans to shake things up in Olympia to improve the prospects of Steven and others looking for work in of the toughest job mar-kets in decades.
“We’re trying to grow more jobs in this state, build more airplanes and create an environ-ment in which all kinds of businesses can grow,” Inslee said. “We want an economy that works for everybody, no matter where they are in the economic sphere. And we’ve got some work to do on that.”
Inslee said that he looked forward to working with legisla-tors during the coming months to improve prospects for job seek-ers and working people alike.
Such as working to increase the minimum wage, so that if a person has a job, he said, that person can at least keep a roof over his or her head.
And working toward making the Working Family Tax Credit a reality, so people at the lower end of the income scale could get some-thing of a refund from
the state to make up for some of the economic hardships they’d been suffering.
He said he would continue to work on health care reform to ensure that everybody has access to health insurance.
And he would try to find an alternative to paying for schools so that the tax burden does not fall so heavily on working people but on those who are in a better position to pay it. That solution includes increasing taxes on pol-luting industries.
Inslee asked if anyone in the room had en-rolled in any colleges or technical schools.
One woman said she had graduated from EWU in 2013 with a degree in economics, but told Inslee she was struggling to find work.
“The most important thing for me is just finding something that is going to fit with my degree or work into something in the field I have my degree in. Because going directly into economics is not as feasible as taking a stepping stone from an office position toward that field,” the woman said.

CITY ACCEPTING COMMENTS ON PLAN
The City of Auburn is accepting comments on
its draft 2015 Stormwater Management Program Plan. Please submit comments in writing to the Water Quality
Programs Coordinator, Department of Public Works,
25 W. Main St., Auburn, WA 98001. Written comments must be received by close
of business March 16. There will be a public hearing at the March 16 City Council
meeting when comments will be accepted.
To download a copy of the draft plan, or to obtain more
information, visit www.auburnwa.gov
or call 253-931-3010.
“This is a firm budget,” Assis-tant City Engineer Jacob Sweet-ing assured the council. “All of the decisions that we’ve made during the conceptual design phase have kept the schedule and budget in line and within those constraints.”
That $9 million breaks down into a $3 million appropriation from the state Legislature and $6 million in City funds. The $3 million appro-priation has to be committed to the project by June 30, or the state takes it back.
At 30-percent complete, early design drawings show a total of 21,000 square feet of space devoted to educational, cultural and social activities, offering broad views on Les Gove Park.
Taking up 7,300 square feet, the youth center will be created out of the existing Parks, Arts and Recre-ation administration building. It will offer an arts classroom; a computer lab; youth center staff offices; room for structured programs like dancing and spoken-word events; a dedicated computer lab; an art room; and room for informal activities such as gather-ings, games, tutoring and socializing.
The 13,700-square-foot com-munity center will be built from the ground up. Its heart will be a 3,500-square-foot multi-purpose room, offering enough space for 200-275 people and dividable into three rooms. What the City hopes to achieve with the community center is to provide opportunities for public and private events; classes; a fitness room with cardio and resistance ma-chines; city-wide celebrations; stor-
age; offices; and work areas for Parks, Arts and Rec administrative staff.
Shared spaces between the build-ings include a lobby, some outdoor gathering areas and a teaching and warming kitchen, which the project realizes by renovating and expanding the kitchen.
Lokting said his team took what it learned from earlier meetings with the City Council, with the Junior City Council and with neighbors and community representatives then folded what it learned into several principles that will guide the design.
One of those principles calls for the preservation of open space, meaning that the project’s footprint must not encroach into the open area to the east of the existing buildings.
A second principle calls for con-nections to the park, so that when people first come onto the site they
have a primary gathering place and a point of connection between access to the community and youth center and access to the park.
Early plans show 69 parking spaces adjacent to the center and generous buffering to shield the surrounding neighborhood from the project.
Design work began in November 2014 and should be complete by June, at which time the City expects to put the project out to bid. It plans to award the contract in August, finish construc-tion in June 2016 in time for Kids Day and open in August 2016.
“I’m impressed,” Councilmember Yolanda Trout said at the end of the presentation, echoing what her peers were saying. “I like all the windows and the lighting. I think we’re going to have a nice center.”

Corps starts spring fill of Hanson DamFOR THE REPORTER
Water managers have begun slowly filling the res-ervoir at Howard Hanson Dam at the headwaters of the Green River.
As is typical, the Army Corps of Engineers slowly begins the annual spring fill of the reservoir in late Feb-ruary, allowing water levels to rise within the Hanson Dam’s reservoir. The dam helps protect the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton and Tukwila from flooding.
The process takes rough-ly three months to refill the reservoir. The current plan targets a maximum pool elevation of 1,167 feet above sea level. A 1,167 - foot elevation pool has been the spring refill target since 2007.
Water stored during the spring refill of the reservoir is used to provide water to the City of Tacoma and its water supply partners. Additionally, at least three-fifths of the reservoir’s supply is used to augment downstream flows to help endangered fish species.

Later, aware of the risks it might pose to her heart condition, doctors referred the little girl to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps make dreams come true for children with seri-ous medical conditions.
With help from mom and influenced by television advertisements, Braylynn made up her mind — she wanted to go to Disney World.
As she and her family moved from Arizona to Oklahoma and finally to Washington, where her father, Rick Wielebski, got a job in the Seattle area, her wish followed her.
Soon after the move, Make-a-Wish Alaska and Washington contacted the family, telling them that a local business – Auburn-based Zones, Inc. – was interested in adopting Braylynn’s wish.
Zones, founded in 1986, is a national provider of IT products, solutions and services that self-reports $1 billion in annual revenue. The company employs about 1,000 people, 600 of them in Auburn. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Zones ranked No. 10 in em-ployers of Auburn in 2014.
Few Auburn residents know much about Zones. But by investing in the community in a number of ways, the company is deter-mined to change that.
Cathie Fowler, Zones vice president of marketing, recently disclosed a number of the company’s charitable contributions, the most popular of which are to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. With Zones employees’ donations from its offices in the U.S., the company has been able to raise about $10,000, doubling the amount needed to make Braylynn’s wish come true. Money raised beyond that sum allows for a second wish to be adopted.
In addition to its Make-A-Wish contributions, Zones donates to the American Cancer Society, Wounded Warrior, the Auburn Food Bank, and Auburn Youth Resources.
“Our employees have em-braced a lot of excitement over giving back to the community,” Fowler said.
Despite its success as a business and its contribu-tions to several charities, Zones’ reputation as a fea-sible local employer is only now starting to spread.
Doug Lein, manager of the City of Auburn’s Office of Economic Development, attributes the company’s heightened interest in the community to its new president and CEO, Murray Wright, who joined Zones in 2013.
“Companies in strong growth patterns, like Zones, tend to forget about the rest of the world and focus on themselves,” Lein said. “I
think that’s what happened with the original president and owner; he was a very private man. (Wright is) the first outsider. He’s more aggressive and sees value in connectivity (with the com-munity).”
Lein noted that until recently, Zones had a his-tory of importing labor to meet its needs in Auburn. Now the company wants to cultivate local talent to fill those positions. Not only would that create jobs locally but it would also supply the company with employees having stakes in the community, who are therefore invested in long-term commitments.
Lori Stewart, Zones vice president of human resources, said the com-pany wants to hire people who are interested in sales. Degrees are still valued, but the emphasis now is on finding people combining interpersonal relationship and customer support skills.
The City’s Office of Economic Development re-cently started collaborating with Green River College to create a short-term sales certificate program, helping locals get a foot in Zones’ door.
According to Josh Clear-man, dean of the Technol-ogy and Trades Division at Green River, the program prepares students to work for an Auburn business in general even as it provides specialized training favor-able for employment at Zones.
“We want to be respon-sive to industry,” Clearman said. “It’s clear (potential
Zones employees) need customized training, and we want to try to deliver that.”
Lein said local labor sourcing will also reinvest in the local economy.
Simply having more locals earning competi-tive wages “make(s) a big impact on the local retail economy,” Lein said.
The bigger picture is that Zones, as a business, reinvests in Auburn’s local workforce and economy. The company, however, has already shown how much it values people.
When Zones adopted her daughter’s wish, Crystal Palmer said, she felt the community embrace her.
“Crystal’s exposure to Seattle has been a stress-ful move and a stressful situation with Braylynn,” Wielebski said. “And only a few months after that (was) Braylynn’s surgery. With stress at its highest level, this company reaches out to us and does so much.”
On Oct. 12, 2014, Bray-lynn had her fourth, and hopefully last, procedure. Her doctors say it usually takes at least a month to re-cover. Braylynn only needed two weeks. The probability of surviving the procedures is not high, but she has beaten those odds, too.
“She’s insanely strong and stubborn as heck,” Palmer said.
Braylynn recently started dance classes and can now keep up with her older brother, Isaiah. In April, it’s on to Disney World.
And when she returns, Zones is going to throw her a party.

It is Washington’s qua-drennial quandary.
Every four years, the conversation starts anew on how to make this state’s presidential primary meaningful in the process of electing the nation’s next leader.
And should an election even be held if it can’t be done? Conducting
a primary in 2016 will cost taxpayers an estimated $11.5 million.
The predicament is that voters desire one thing and the Democratic and Republican parties want something else, leaving the state’s chief election officer
to bring the opposing forces together.Republican Secretary of State Kim
Wyman thinks she can pull it off for 2016, though she needs the support of the Legislature and agreement from the Democratic Party.
More on her plan in a moment. Here’s the history:
Washington is first, and forever, a caucus state. At those caucuses, the truly faithful of the Democratic and Republican parties gather to choose the delegates to the national conven-
tions, where each party officially nominates its candidate for the Oval Office.
In 1988 a few voters got it in their heads that they wanted a say in the process. More than 200,000 people signed an Initiative to the Legislature calling for a presidential primary to give voice to a far greater number of the state’s voters.
In theory, candidates would take note of this new primary and make sure the trail of their campaign passed through Washington.

Increase in oil trains poses a risk to our valley
My bedroom window overlooks the Auburn/Kent Valley where the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail yard is sited.
I often hear the trains switching at night. If you’ve ever heard a mile-long train change direction, you’d remember the sound: a long, low boom. I’m worried that one day soon, I might hear an even bigger boom, like the one that blasted the West Virginia town of Mount Carbon a couple of weeks ago.
What’s more, over the past month, an explosion occurred at an oil refinery in California, an oil train derailed in Ontario,
Canada, and no fewer than four oil spills were reported in North Dakota.
All these events should remind us of the derail-ment and explosion of an oil train in Canada in 2013 that tragically killed 47 people. A disaster like
that can happen right here in Auburn if we don’t take action now.
More trains mean greater risk. The Bak-ken oil rush has increased the number of carloads of oil to 435,000 per year in 2013. That’s 45 times the number of oil-by-rail tank cars moved in 2008. The oil compa-nies are not removing highly explosive gases such as ethane, propane and butane before shipping the oil in rail cars, making these tankers, even the newer CPC-1232 tankers that were involved in all three of the most recent derailments, nothing more than rolling bombs that pass through our cities near our homes, schools, hospitals and businesses.
The Interurban Trail runs through Au-burn next to the rail lines. When I ride my bike there, I’ve often seen a dad teaching his daughter to ride. The increased risk of the little girl getting asthma or cancer from die-sel fumes aside, if there were an explosion, in whose ledger would her death be an

n Weighing pros, cons of Obama’s free college plan
President Obama’s free com-munity college proposal may sound good on the surface, but is it?
1. Some people are more adept at the trades vs. college. Therefore, why leave out trade schools from being free?
2. School is mandatory up through high school — com-munity college is not. Should two years of community college or a trade school be mandatory and funded by the taxpayers’?
3. If a person has no skin in the game (e.g. it is free), they typically are less motivated to put forth their best effort.
4. We could provide cheap loans, e.g. one-quarter or one-half percent interest that must be paid back in a 5-15 years after completion of their edu-cation, Or give scholarships requiring effort to attain e.g.
tell why I want to succeed, my goals etc. Setup mentoring and measurable progress towards completion.
5. Do something that is not just another step toward an entitlement, which is one of the problems with our country now. Let’s stop that mindset and figure out how to help people succeed. As the saying goes – give a person fish, and
they will eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they will eat for a lifetime. Let’s teach people how to succeed in life so they can provide for them-selves, and not rely on Uncle Sam, who is already in debt over his head.
Here’s a solution: Solve basic problem vs. free community college.
1. Many young people are trapped in their environment. They have no tools, motiva-tion, nor resources to help them succeed in life, and have no self-esteem. We need to fix that first.
2. Gather the brightest experts in education who have developed programs in and out of the classroom who believe in young people and figured out how to motivate them to accomplish some-thing. Include sharp welfare and DSHS administrators/case workers who see what is missing in our system. Add unemployment administrators

Family Dog Training Center
Seattle’s version of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is coming March 7-8 to the CenturyLink Field Event Center.
If you love dogs, head to the show between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. both days. You’ll get a chance to see dogs from throughout the coun-try, including South King County, struttin’ their stuff.
Conformation: More than a beauty contest, this is where breeders and owner/handlers present their dogs for evaluation based on structure, movement and
temperament. After earning enough wins over competi-tion, dogs may achieve their American Kennel Club (AKC) breed championship title. More than 100 dif-ferent breeds of dogs, and more than 1,000 total dogs, are presented each year.
Agility: Like all perfor-mance events, agility is open to mixed breed dogs who have registered with the AKC. Cheer for your favorite dog and handler as they race through tunnels, jump over hurdles and weave through the poles. The fastest dog in each height category wins the blue ribbon, but every dog
that qualifies takes one step closer to an agility title.
Obedience: From the en-try-level classes, where dogs work on leash, to the most advanced utility competi-tion, all dogs and handlers are judged on teamwork and accuracy. Heeling, hand signals, jumping, retrieving and out-of-sight stays are just a few of the exercises you’ll see assorted dogs perform.
Rally: Some folks think of rally as a cross between agility and obedience. Handlers are judged on speed and accuracy as they navigate a course with stations that require the team to perform specific maneuvers.
Meet the breeds: Many local breed clubs and breed-
ers will be on hand, giving attendees a chance to meet their dogs and learn more about each breed.
Vendors: Dozens of pet-related vendors offer items for sale. Dog food, treats, artwork, clothing (for humans and dogs), fancy collars, leashes and
hundreds of cool items only found at dog shows will be on display.
Entertainment: The dem-onstration and performance rings begin at 10 a.m. with a skit and dance routine featuring the Family Dog Training Center from Kent. Ten dogs, along with
Amy the Pig, will perform, followed by herding, nose work, police K9 units and musical freestyle dancing demonstrations throughout the day.

acceptable loss? Balanced against what? A few dozen jobs at an oil terminal? Oil company profits?
Adjacent to the bike trail is a new Environmental Park. We’re trying to reclaim and restore wetlands damaged by excessive and poorly planned development in the valley. If tar sands oil spills into those wetlands, habitat for birds and fish will be irreparably damaged. Heavy tar sands oil (diluted bitumen, or dilbit) is as thick as peanut but-ter; dilbit sinks in water and cannot be completely cleaned up. A healthy ecosystem and beautiful lakes and rivers bring tourists and business to Washington State. Oil trans-port puts all that at risk.
We can’t let multinational oil giants use Washington state as a doormat. They want
to run roughshod over us in the name of profit, selling dirty fossil fuels to China and the rest of Asia. Fossil fuels that modern climate science tells us are best left where they are: in the ground.
The Oil Transportation Safety Bill (HB 1449) is mak-ing its way through the state Legislature. The bill won’t stop the trains and the tankers, but it would supply our towns and cities with the information they need (and the Auburn City Council has asked for) while training our first responders so that they are better prepared for a disaster.
Financial responsibility for spills and infrastructure im-provements must be assumed by the companies shipping these highly explosive and toxic fuels; taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the damage of an explosion or a spill. The bill ensures that
shippers are adequately in-sured and increases the barrel tax on oil shipments to pay for preparation and training. Our firefighters and other first responders agree: HB 1449 is the LEAST we can do to make our communities safer.
Please call or write to your state senator and tell them, “Protect your constituents, not oil company profits. Pass the Oil Transportation Safety Bill (HB 1449).”
The legislative hotline is 1 (800) 562-6000. To com-ment on the bill visit: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1449

[ MY TURN from page 5 ]
It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four leading presidential candidates – Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley – campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations.
But for the most part it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely.
That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At this point that’s what it will do in 2016.
The Republican Party, meanwhile, has allotted half its delegates based on the primary-election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016.
Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office with a plan for deal-ing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running.
She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super Tuesday binge of contests.
Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percent-age delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats are not, yet.
An earlier primary could lure the Democratic Party to sign on because that could give Washington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates.
“The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” Wyman said Tuesday.
If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick-a-party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates.
If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 million. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary.
“I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presi-dential primary to mean something. This election is too important.”

FOR THE REPORTER
William “Bill” Julian, an Auburn High School grad-uate, recently took the title of RQC’s No. 1 Volkswagen Mechanic in the U.S.
RQC is an annual Volkswagen challenge open to employees in VW dealerships throughout the United States and the globe.

AUBURN ADVENTIST BOYS WIN DISTRICT TITLE
The Auburn Adventist boys hoops team is one game away
from a berth in the Washington State 2B Hardwood Classic,
courtesy of a 52-37 win over La Conner in the Northwest 2B District Tournament title
game this past Saturday. The Falcons (21-2) play a loser
out, winner-to-state contest at 8 p.m. Saturday at Puyallup High School against Onalaska,

Lions and Trojans finish in top-10
BY SHAWN SKAGER
Auburn and Auburn Moun-tainview battled to top-10 team finishes at this past weekend’s Mat Classic XXVIII state 3A wrestling championships at the Tacoma Dome.
The Trojans, keyed by state title winners Sam Lindsey at 182 pounds and Mario Luevano at 220, earned a fifth-place finish with 78 points.
Lindsey, a senior who placed sixth at 195 pounds last year, had no trouble working his way through the 182-pound bracket this year, knocking off Kennewick sophomore Ronny Loomis with a fall at 1 minute, 3 seconds in the first round, and blasting Stanwood senior Anthony Ortega 9-1 in the second round.
In the quarterfinals, Lindsey powered past Shadle Park senior Kyle Vinson 8-1, setting up the title match with a South Puget Sound League 3A foe, Peninsula’s Luke Holsinger.
“It feels pretty good (getting to the finals), though, but you can’t think of it like that,” Lindsey said. “It’s just another match. At this point, I’m just kind of wrestling so I can win, and the ref can’t beat me.”
In the title match, Lindsay
squeezed out a 2-0 victory to take home the state title.
Also snagging gold for the Trojans was senior heavyweight Luevano, who beat Meadowdale senior Tim Smith 2-1 in a thrill-ing, triple-overtime final match.
“It feels amazing, the hard work paid off,” Luevano said.
Luevano, who missed out on last year’s Mat Classic, owing to an injury suffered at the regional meet, powered his way to the fi-nals match with an opening match 5-3 win over Alec Boyd of Mount Spokane, and a second-round pin of Ballard’s Brandon Scott. In the quarterfinal match, Luevano out-lasted Rogers of Spokane’s Markus Robinson 3-2.
Also placing for Auburn was senior Jacob Apodaca, who fin-ished third at 285 pounds with a
5-2 decision over Kamiakin’s Nick Little in the title match.
Sophomore Drew Aplin fought his way to a seventh-place finish at 120 pounds, beating SPSL 3A rival Levi Norton from Enumclaw 4-0 in the seventh-eighth place match.
Senior Balteer Rana rounded out Auburn placers with an eighth place at 126 pounds.
Auburn Mountainview eked out a top-10 team placing with a seventh-place, 76-point perfor-mance.
Third-place finishes from juniors Dylan Foley and Antonio Correa led the way for the Lions.
Foley grabbed third at 132 pounds, besting Prairie’s Kodi Walls 6-3. Correa pinned Lincoln’s

Also placing for Auburn Mountainview were junior Joey Santos, who was sixth at 138, and sophomore Yayha Mirzaei, who finished fourth at 120.
Mirzaei battled his way to the quarterfi-nals before losing 3-2 to Mount Spokane’s Alec Hoover, the eventual state champion.
“I went three overtimes with him,” Mirzaei said. “Next time I think I can beat him, but this time I lost and had to wrestle for third place.”
Mirzaei fell 9-0 to Enumclaw freshman
Quinton Southcott in the match for third-fourth place.
Enumclaw came out on top in the 3A team com-petition with 110 points.
Five SPSL 3A teams finished in the top 10 of the state 3A competi-tion, including Auburn, Auburn Mountainview, Peninsula, Enumclaw and Bonney Lake.ALSO: In the girls

[WRESTLING from page 9]
“I wasn’t expecting there to be much com-petition because I was always told high school was easier than club,” Porter told The Olympi-an. “However, there was some pretty good girls here, and it made me work for what I wanted. It was a good thing. It didn’t make me seem like I was better than everybody, and I wanted to have somebody to compete against. That was exactly what I got.”
Sammamish’s Nykaela Dodson finished first in the all-around with a 38.125.
In the individual event competitions,
Porter took first in the beam (9.700). She finished third in both the floor and the bars, with a 9.260 and a
