Veteran pushes for joint war memorial Dave Schmidt, a Marine veteran, supports the building of a joint American/ Vietnamese memorial in Auburn. ROBERT WHALE,

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn City Council meeting had reached that point where anyone in the audience with something to say is invited to come forward and say it. A thick set man with a gray beard,

leaning on a wooden cane, got up. The man gave his name: retired Marine First Sgt. David Schmidt, E-5. Served two tours in Vietnam between 1965 and 1969. Retired from the Corps in April of 1985. Suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Is 100-percent disabled.

Then Schmidt made a heart-felt plea to the council. “Let ’em have this,” Schmidt said. “This” is the memorial that former South Vietnamese soldiers hope to build in Veterans Memorial Park, [ more MEMORIAL page 8 ]

For 90 years, Boy Scout Troop 401 has been an integral part of the Auburn community, providing young scouts with the tools and framework needed to transition into the future leaders of society. The troop celebrated its anniversary with former scouts, members of the current troop and visiting dignitaries at Messiah Lutheran Church last Saturday. Keynote speaker and Eagle Scout Rob McKenna, former Republican state attorney general, gubernatorial candidate and board member of the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts, spoke about the importance of scouting.

Latest count solidifies Backus, Partridge By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Nov. 5 Auburn mayoral election will be a showdown between Auburn City Councilmember Nancy Backus and fellow Councilmember John Partridge. In the latest combined King and Pierce counties results of the Aug. 6 primary, Backus garnered 47.6 percent of the vote and Partridge 37.5 percent. Iraq War

veteran Scot Pondelick had 14.6 percent. Partridge said he was “very encouraged” with the primary returns. “Taking on an entrenched political establishment isn’t easy. Looking at the combined totals, over 51 percent of the Auburn voters marked their ballots for a change at City Hall,” he said. “I’d like to thank everyone who has supported this

campaign. Seeing these results and believing we can get it done, I will continue to work hard and share my vision. I look forward to having the opportunity to serve our community as the next mayor.” In the primary for Auburn Council Position 4, the contest will be between Yolanda Trout and Auburn locksmith Frank Lonergan. In the latest count, Trout was leading the field by a healthy margin in the com-

An ethics panel in the Legislature wants to know how often five Washington state senators have accepted free meals from lobbyists. And lawyers are collecting records to include in a presentation to the board in September, Mike O’Connell, an attorney with the Legislative Ethics Board, recently told the Associated Press. The panel can administer fines, admonishments or updated guidance. The ethics complaint focused on the top five recipients reporters had identified, all of them RepubFain licans: Sens. Doug Ericksen, of Ferndale; Steve Litzow, of Mercer Island; Joe Fain, of Auburn; Mike Hewitt, of Walla Walla; and Mark Schoesler, of Ritzville. The Associated Press and a group of public radio stations months ago found that the state’s 50 most active lobbyists had treated legislators to $65,000 in free meals in the first four months of 2013. Washington ethics law forbids public

officials from accepting free meals on more than “infrequent occasions,” but that rule is not clearly defined. One common complaint of those under the microscope – that the costs of the meals are reported in the aggregate, so that a legislator whose meal may cost $8 is averaged with another’s that may have cost $50. “There are a lot of inconsistencies in the way that these disclosure reports are generated, and that’s a problem,” Fain said. “And it’s one that I think the legislature should and will address in he next session …The thing that should come out of this – and I will push so it does come out of this – is that the system changes so it provides accurate information and greater transparency,” Fain said. Seattle salesman Richard Hodgin, who filed the ethics complaint, told the AP it was clear that lawmakers were violating the ethics law. Officials also were examining the issue of per diems. Lawmakers continued accepting full per diems even while they got free meals.

Elderly veterans exploited Exploitation of elderly veterans is happening throughout the Puget Sound region, most frequently in elder care facilities. Unscrupulous business people, usually from the financial, legal or some other related field, will appear as an advocate by telling veterans or their widows of a little known Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit that can help with medical expenses. They present themselves as patriotic, valuable members of the community, even wrap themselves in the Bible. They want to help veterans and widows apply for the Department of Veterans Affairs Pension Program and/or Aid & Attendance. What does the VA really have? There is, among several programs administered by the VA, a pension program for veterans or widows of veterans who are too disabled to work and have military duty during a period of war. The veteran does not need to have been in combat. Since the pension benefit was never intended for every veteran, the minimal financial worth requirement must also be met. This is usually about less than $80,000, and this is where the “Pension Poachers,” as they are called in the other Washington, come in. Agents from very patriotic sounding organizations want to help a veteran or widow make a claim for this program. Several things can happen at this point. They will attempt to sell financial products so as to reposition-lower (or as the VA calls it “hiding”) the claimant’s real financial worth. They may even charge the claimant a fee for legal or financial services. Affidavits collected by legitimate veteran service officers document how a lawyer and a financial planner (poachers) tried to sell an elderly Seattle couple products, making them very suspicious. This was during the course of filing a claim to the VA. When that failed, they tried to charge the couple hundreds for legal costs. There are many other problems generated by these so-called advocates. The first is that they put the veteran or widow into jeopardy with the VA for falsely appearing impoverished and receiving federal money that was not intended for them. The VA can put a lien on all future benefits and/or demand repayment. Worse, after working with these businesses, the claimant will most likely need Medicare within the next five years. The poachers used a loophole in VA law in that it does not have a “look back” period. However, Medicare has a five-year look back time in which it assesses the vet’s financial worth.

Partridge primed to lead Auburn into a new era The citizens of Auburn can be very proud, especially those who voted in the recent primary election, as it has been a long time since we had enough people willing to file for office, making a primary necessary. Four years ago, John Partridge broke the mold by running for City Council against a longtime councilmember, and winning. John believes, as do I, that our government system needs to be open, that qualified candidates should be encouraged to run for office in order to keep all levels of our government representative of our citizens. We no longer can expect that candidates will be “designated heirs” when a councilmember retires, or when a vacancy occurs mid-term, the appointee will automatically be chosen as the candidate. Thank you, John, for modeling the pathway for more citizens to serve our community. We all know that John was instrumental in gathering people with the common interest in establishing the Auburn Valley Humane Society, and his leadership has proven invaluable. He helped coordinate the community interests with the City interests, and we now have a place for homeless animals and our own animal control officer. A host of volunteers continues to make the humane society a viable part of Auburn. Thank you, John.

Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. One of the issues that John believes is vital to our community is having a local judge. Unfortunately, he was the only vote on the council to keep Pat Burns here as our local judge. It is so important for our local law enforcement and citizens to know that the judicial system is familiar with our citizens and their concerns. Now, rather than a local judge, someone from some part of King County, other than Auburn, makes judicial decisions about our citizens. I, for one, do not like seeing a King County officer smoking in front of our Justice Center, and should I have to go to court again, I would hope the Auburn citizens have a judge elected by the citizens. The majority of the 45 years we have lived in Auburn we have lived next door to some member of the Partridge family. We were delighted when John and Shirlee moved

next door, and it has been a privilege to watch their lovely daughters grow into such outstanding young women. We couldn’t have better neighbors. During the general election there is more than one candidate running for each local office. We urge all our citizens to get to know all the candidates and decide which one will bring the perspective Auburn needs. The preliminary results indicate that almost half the voters in Auburn welcome some changes in our City government. We believe John Partridge is the person who will lead Auburn successfully into a new era. – Kathy and Charlie Clarke

Support Backus for next mayor It is sometimes difficult to decide who to vote for if you don’t know the person, so get involved in Auburn, find places where you can volunteer and participate in programs offered … it’s helped me meet Nancy. I watched how she presented herself, how she worked and interacted with people. I learned that Nancy Backus was a gracious, giving person with a soft approach, kind words and a strong belief in what should and could work. Her manner in dealing with people drew them in to the issues, and with a team approach, worked on moving forward. Nancy listens – not to herself first – but to those around her. [ more letters page 6 ]

[6] August 16, 2013 [ LETTERS from page 5 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com

She believes that “we are all smarter together.” She believes change comes with consensus. She believes that the work begins and ends with her taking the first step. I have never seen Nancy frazzled. I’ve seen moments of frustration, then a deep breath, questions start, conversation ensues, a decision forms, tasks are chosen, a solution is found and accomplished. Nancy’s financial background brings strength to watch the “bottom line” and experience on balancing large numbers for large projects. Nancy is a negotiator. This is critically important for a city that has a second nation, a railroad contingent and a state entity that manages the highway

– Debbie Christian

Backus needs to bring fresh ideas I want to congratulate all the candidates who ran in the primary, whether it be for a City Council position or for mayor. By the results of the primary for mayor, it looks as if Nancy Backus is going to be Auburn’s next mayor. Let’s hope she’s up to the task. I’m personally hoping she has some fresh ideas and we don’t have another four years of “Lewis-type government.” She’s got to listen to what the people want and then apply that information to a practical means of achieving that goal. Despite the outcome of the primary, John Partridge has a chance, but he’s got to really get out there and give it his “all.” Who knows? He just

object, but the parents and adults were totally clueless to the point of being absurd, insisting they had every right to continue. If in all this noise and choking residue there was a glimpse of patriotism, I would be encouraged. Aside from the fact that homes are burnt down and property destroyed every year, the money spent is staggering. How much better to spend the time and money with live men and women veterans who have given up their jobs, families and their own personal freedoms to protect and defend your right to act like uncivilized fools pretending to celebrate with noise and destruction. How much better to spend time with your children touring a veterans hospital and thanking soldiers in person. How much better to contribute your money to any kind of support system for these vets coming home and leaving again and again to fight the battle. On a practical note: how about a statewide ban on personal fireworks? The professional shows are safer and saner, if there is such a thing. It’s easier for the police and fire departments to monitor and leave the rest of us – who by the way have rights, too – to celebrate quietly in our own way. Then when working citizens get up in the a.m. to go to work the next day, all of the firework folks can get back to driving too fast, talking and texting on their latest electronic gadget behind the wheel, tailgating and generally acting in every single way like the great American citizens they pretend to be.

running through town. Working with, and not against, these factors are key to Auburn’s success. Auburn can’t move if there is contention in the ranks of council, city staff, or even with the mayor. This doesn’t mean there aren’t “discussions”, but those discussions happen in committee meetings where the ideas get challenged and aired out. On the council floor, respect for the person, the people and the plan is displayed. Choose the independence of a servant leader who listens and brings together multi-faceted people and groups to accomplish a common goal. Choose Nancy Backus for Auburn mayor.

We hosted a National Night Out event at our house (on Aug. 6). And while we wish we had a better response from our neighbors, we could not be more pleased with the City of Auburn.

Garberding appointed to vacant Pacific council seat sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Pacific City Council is back at full strength with Monday’s appointment of Katie Garberding to fill Mayor Leanne Guier’s vacant Position 4 seat. The council voted 6-0 to appoint Garberding to the position, which became vacant when Guier was appointed mayor, replacing the recalled former mayor, Cy Sun, in July. Garberding, a regular at City Council meetings, was a vocal opponent of Sun.

[ STODDERT from page 5 ] After purchasing financial products, usually poor quality, from the poacher, the claimant appears eligible for the VA, but not for Medicare. So when the vet or spouse could have gotten help from the VA and Medicare, they are still left with only the lesser paying VA to help pay their medical bills. Experience has taught Joel Estey of King County Veteran Services and Cindy Kartes of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, both ethical service officers, that too often the business-person will try to qualify a veteran or widow for a VA pension,

A Boy Scout even carried the case of water to my car. We were honored to have Dan Heid, City attorney, Daryl Faber, director of Parks, Police Chief Bob Lee, and DARE Officer Jessica Smith as our guests. They were all friendly, courteous and easy to talk with. Even though there were 60 events going on citywide, they did not make us feel like they were rushing to move on to the next one on the list. They answered questions and directed us on where to turn for follow up. When someone is “just doing their job”, you can tell when they would rather be someplace else. But these officials seemed genuinely eager to hear about the things that were important to our neighborhood.

“The lady has shown up for council meetings and workshops and has been in attendance for the last year and a half or two years,” Councilmember Clint Steiger said. “She has shown great interest, and none of the other candidates who applied have been there as much as her. “It will be a short term, four or five months, so this gives her some exposure and experience working on the council, so she can decide if she wants to continue doing it in the future,” Steiger said. “The main reason

Stookey also was a candidate but was knocked out of the race with his third-place finish. “I feel they were all great applicants,” Steiger said. “We didn’t want to interfere with the voters, though. Appointing Kave would be like free advertising for his campaign, and the voters already knocked Stookey out.” Garberding’s appointment expires Dec. 31, after which either Guier or Kave will assume the position.

[8] August 16, 2013 [ MEMORIAL from page 1 ] a stone’s throw from the established memorial honoring veterans of the U.S. armed services. Not all of Auburn’s veterans agree with him. Many of his former comrades in arms, with vivid memories and passions of their own about that war, are dead set against the memorial there. They want no part of the defunct South Vietnam flag flying anywhere near the American flag. Some still bear anger and carry unhealed wounds from the war, insisting that too many betrayed South Vietnamese betrayed them. Such was not Schmidt’s experience. He described the bravery of the South Vietnamese soldiers he had known. Especially that of the radio operator whose head, mere inches from his own, was blown off by a shell in battle. The South Vietnamese lost their country in that war, Schmidt repeated: “Let them have this.”

[ 3-ON-3 from page 1 ] “We lost our first game by one point and then haven’t lost a game since,” said Jones, a former college (Bryn Mawr) and professional (Mexico City) basketball player. “(It) really stinks because now we have to fight our way through the losers’ bracket. So we have five games today.” For Jones, who helped organizers attract many of the female players for the event, the EmD 3-On-3 was a rousing success. “I love it, I wish they’d do it every year,” she said. “I didn’t want to promote it too much at first because I hadn’t experienced it yet, but I’d say now that this is as well organized as (the Spokane) Hoopfest. I hope it expands for next year and they do it annually. I think

www.auburn-reporter.com When he finished, tears stood in many eyes. At Veterans Memorial Park on Monday, two veterans, neither of whom knew Schmidt or his feelings about the memorial, asked him what he thought about it. Determined to avoid an argument, Schmidt listened in respectful silence to what they had to say. If the memorial is allowed, one of the men said, what would stop Germans, or Japanese or Filipinos or Koreans, or anybody else for that matter, from putting up their own memorial in the park? Let the South Vietnamese find their own ground, he said. If the memorial goes up there, the man said, many veterans have already vowed they will never set foot in the park again. Later, Schmidt explained to the Auburn Reporter why he feels so strongly about the memorial. “It’s because I understand what the (South Vietnam veterans) are

going through. Here you have these guys that spent years in a concentration camp after the communists took over. They’re living in the United States now. Where else can they go? The cemeteries in Vietnam, if you fought for the South, they pretty much don’t exist anymore, or are overgrown. There’s not much there, no place for them to go and grieve. “And it’s the same way for me. There’s a lot of opponents against this. But if it were here, in the park, I’d have a place to come, too. If that memorial was in the park, I’d be here a lot during the week, just to sit. And not just me. I know a lot of GIs that are adamantly for the memorial. As many people as are against it, I believe that there’s more people for it. It helps to heal wounds. The Vietnamese are coming up with their own money to do it, all they need is a space to put it up in. It’s time to move on,” Schmidt said.

there are a lot of players on this side that would be interested in playing. “The competition level is higher than Hoopfest for me,” Jones added. “I think part of the reality for us in the women’s divisions in a hoopfest is that it’s broken into so many smaller divisions. Here we’re all grouped together, so you’re seeing the best players in the area playing.” In addition to two days of top-level basketball, spectators were treated to live entertainment, sampled food from local food trucks and enjoyed a cold one at the event’s beer garden. All this was made possible by local businesses, including sponsors such as Regence Health Care, Doxon Toyota, Olympic Eagle Distributing, Les Schwab, the City of Auburn and the

Auburn Tourist Board, as well as Sterling Athletics – which provided the game balls for the tourney. “The idea is to bring the community together and grow this,” said event coordinator Bob Fraser. “All of the baskets were made locally by Miller Fabrication, which designed and built them. Each court was sponsored by a business. And Mark Doxon, of Doxon Toyota, donated $10,000 to the Auburn Valley YMCA. A donation also was made by the tourney to the Aaron Brooks foundation.” Both days kicked off with a breakfast offering all-youcan eat pancakes for just $5, sponsored by the Auburn Rotary.

Auburn Days The community celebrated Auburn Days – a three-day festival – in the downtown last weekend. The traditional event celebrates the city’s life, music, love and laughter through its musicians, authors, poets, artists, athletes and future leaders. Above, members of the Auburn High School Class of 1963 march in the grand parade down Main Street last Saturday. Grand Marshall Bob Johnson, right, waves to the crowd from a fire truck. Other festival highlights included a Friday night Stampede Fun Run and Barbecue and a Good Ol’ Show and Shine Classic Car Show.

Troop 401’s oldest living Eagle Scout, Judge Eugene Otis, was born in 1923, the same year the troop was established. Otis earned his Eagle Scout rank in 1938. Also honored was Sherrill Clark, who has been active with the troop for 45 years and continues to help guide young scouts.

U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert (R-Auburn, 8th District) had originally been slated to speak at the ceremony but was unable to attend. Reichert, however, did send along a transcript of a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, lauding the troop. “On this momentous occasion I’d like to personally thank Boy Scout Troop 401 for its outreach to the community and its service to the Auburn area,” Reichert said. “Each time I return to my district, Mr. Speaker, I am reminded of the incredible work of the Boy Scout troops in our communities. “For almost a century, Troop 401 has helped make the future leaders of this

country by combining educational opportunities with lifelong values of service, and ensuring they have fun in the process,” Reichert said. “Investing in our youth is the key to building a more conscientious, responsible and productive society.” Reichert also sent an American flag that had been flown over the United States Capitol, in honor of the troop. Troop 401, in conjunction with its chartering partner, the Kiwanis Club of Auburn, has provided a scouting program since 1923 in the Cascade foothills community. It began as Troop 1 under Scoutmaster Harlan R. Stone more than 90 years ago.

Snoring can be deadly For the last year, I’ve been asking many of my dental patients a couple of unusual questions: “How do you sleep?” and “Have you been told you snore?” These are not questions most dentists ask during an exam. Why would I ask my patients about the quality of their sleep? Because a dentist, if properly trained, is in an excellent position to screen for a deadly condition that affects more than 40 million Americans. That condition is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). In fact, the number of people afflicted is likely far higher than 40 million. It is estimated that only about 15-20 percent of those who have the condition have actually been diagnosed. In other words, the majority of the people who have this potentially deadly condition are not even aware of it. OSA is not just about snoring, although a person

with the condition almost always does snore. OSA is a condition in which the tongue and tissues in the back of your throat relax so much during sleep that they collapse over your windpipe. When that happens, even though you are trying to breath, no air can get through. For those with OSA, it happens for at least 10 seconds or more, as many as 60-80 times per hour. The resulting lack of oxygen in your blood alerts your brain, which constantly wakes you up to move and reopen your blocked airway. Since the time spent awake is just a few seconds or minutes, most people with sleep apnea don’t even remember the disruptions the next morning. However, the constant wake-sleep, wakesleep cycle prevents you from achieving deep sleep. This typically results in a constant drowsy feeling during the day, and increases your risk Dr. Stuart Rich

for having a heart attack or stroke by 4-5 times because of the tremendous strain on your heart. To your brain, it is the same as if someone was trying to strangle you multiple times per night. The following may indicate the presence of sleep apnea. If you or your bed partner notice one or more of the symptoms below, you should request that your physician refer you to a sleep specialist for further evaluation and a possible overnight sleep study: • Loud snoring • Snorting or choking sounds during sleep • Waking up with a sweaty head and neck • Headaches upon waking in the morning • Falling asleep or extreme drowsiness during the day • Drug resistant high blood pressure • Having to get up multiple times per night to go to the bathroom [ more DR.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ DR. RICH from page 10 ] Obstructive sleep apnea is more common in men than in women, especially after the age of 40. However, anyone can suffer from sleep apnea, including children and young adults. Obesity is strongly associated with OSA owing to the extra fat and tissue deposits in the neck that further block the airway. Other risk factors include smoking, alcohol use within three hours of bedtime, taking sedatives or tranquilizers and a family history of the condition.

quences of untreated OSA. Most people are unaware that there is another treatment option. Since 2006, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine has recommended that a custom-made dental appliance be considered for the treatment of all early, and many moderate, cases of OSA. Although not as successful, it is also indicated for use in cases of severe OSA where the patient has tried and failed to use the CPAP machine. These dental devices have been used successfully on thousands of patients across the country.

They are small, effective and don’t require any electricity. However, many physicians have had no experience with them or don’t know of a properly-trained dentist in their area to refer patients to who may benefit from this treatment option. If you suspect you have OSA, or have further questions about how a dental device may successfully treat your OSA, please give our office a call. The device does require a prescription from an MD, as well as documentation of your OSA from an overnight sleep study. It is cov-

ered by most medical (not dental) insurance plans, even if you have already tried CPAP treatment. If you want further information, feel free to give our office a call or email us, and we will mail you a brochure that further describes this treatment option. If any of the symptoms described earlier in the article apply to you, please don’t wait. Snoring is no joke. It could be your body’s way of sending you a “wake-up call” that may just save your life.

The treatment for sleep apnea traditionally has been limited to instructing the patient on the use of a CPAP machine. A CPAP is a small, electrically-powered air pump connected to a hose and mask that the patient must wear while they sleep. It works very well if the patient is able to tolerate the mask and air being blown into their nose and mouth all night. Although most are able to adapt to the device, some find it too claustrophobic or uncomfortable to wear, and abandon its use, despite the serious health conse-

Exhibit captures changing world of teens and their cars in 1950s, ‘60s By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

stuff to know more about the GEAR LORDS, which formed to be a car club “for the good”, as opposed to rowdier car clubs like The Sheiks. “They were the good boys, they were not the drinking club, the carousing club,” Cosgrove said. “They had a band that traveled with them, The Epics, and they put on dances. They had a rule whereby if someone was stranded, they had to stop and give them (a GEAR LORDS’ card) and help them out.” Museum staff wondered if there would be enough to make an exhibit? Happily, surviving GEAR LORDS stepped forward with memorabilia: their gray blue jackets; a roster of names and photographs; calling cards. From there, Cosgrove said, the idea morphed to teens and cars, and “that whole change in dynamics that happened when you became ever-so-much-more independent in your dating experience and more private, and a different experience altogether when you had a car,” Cosgrove said. Grease Was the Word is on display through Nov 10.

A group of KentAuburn Tamba, Japan youth ambassadors got a taste of South King County life. Six students visited Kent and Auburn last week, part of a 10-day cultural and educational exchange – a long-established traditional program celebrated among the cities. The youth contingent visited the Kent and Auburn city halls, met and exchanged pleasantries and gifts with mayors and other leaders, toured city facilities and viewed other points of interest. In keeping with the spirit of the program, Tambaarea students stayed with host families in Kent and Auburn for a week filled with activities, including a visit to

There’s the frontispiece from the 1966 Auburn High School yearbook. In this night shot, the school’s front windows ablaze with light, are teenagers out in front of the school, dressed to the nines, escorting dance dates from a Jaguar and a Thunderbird. Vinyl records capture the era when songwriters began to compose music especially for teens, and teens themselves began to form bands and play music themselves. One single on loan displays art work proclaiming one former teen’s love statements to the Beatles. The exhibit includes a collection of never-before-exhibited artifacts from the GEAR LORDS, which flourished in Auburn from 1962 to 1969, disbanding only when Uncle Sam drafted most of its members to fight the war in Vietnam. The idea for the exhibit began with an appetite among museum

Call that bathing beauty va va va voom, or perhaps yowsa, circa 1955. Or if you prefer, Hilda (Hemmingson) Meryhew, director today of the Neely Mansion Association. “No, not a wild kid,” Meryhew chuckled of her teenage self, photographed by her father one sunny day in the Jantzen bathing suit she had just bought for high school water ballet. It’s memorabilia and images like these, younger versions of friends, neighbors and parents, perhaps just people one sees about town, that make White River Valley Museum’s latest exhibit, Grease Was the Word, more than worth the trip. Patricia Cosgrove, museum director, summed up what it’s about: a look back at high school car clubs, driver’s education, the teenage dating scene, and how music influenced what teens drove and how they lived their lives in America and right here in Auburn during the 1950s and ’60s. Grease was the Word rocks, rolls, revs and dances in its celebration of the world inhabited by that generation of teens.

Jeff Metz may be a new face at Emerald Downs, but the 46-yearold Thoroughbred trainer is no stranger to horse racing. This season, after more than 20 years plying the Southern California and Phoenix horse racing circuit, the California native made the move north, bringing his string to Emerald Downs for his first season at the Auburn track. “The last three or four years I’ve been going to (Turf Paradise in) Phoenix. I had a second string there and every year has gotten better,” Metz said. “This year has been my best season there, and I decided to come to Emerald. I thought the horses would fit here and I could make an impact with the kind of horses we had. So I was hopeful that would work out.” Metz’s plan has worked out beautifully so far. He ranks second in the latest trainer standings for the meet, behind Frank Lucarelli, with 31 first-place finishes in 169 starts. And this Sunday, Metz looks to cap his first season in the Northwest with a win in the 78th running

Life in horse racing: Trainer Jeff Metz is managing just fine, working horses at Turf Paradise in Phoenix and now, Emerald Downs. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter of the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3) with his entry, Why Not Be Perfect. Metz got his start in racing at a young age. “I grew up around it,” Metz said. “My parents had horses in Northern California, where I grew up. And then one summer when I was about 14, we went down to Del Mar and I said, ‘That looks like fun. I want to do that.’ ”

Metz soon was working out horses at Del Mar. At age 22 he began working as an assistant trainer for Bruce Headley and Dan Hendricks at Santa Anita. Metz took a break from training to get his degree in kinesthesiology and work as a teacher and coach at a middle school in San Dimas, Calif. “I did that for three years, then the horses lured me back,” he said.

“What I like is the competitive nature,” he said. “I love the animals and trying to figure out what makes them happy, what makes them tick and trying to bring out the best in every individual. I like the challenge of that.” This season, after wrapping up his best season at Phoenix, Metz made the move to Emerald Downs, shipping in 25 horses to start the 2013 meet. “I came for a visit in March and April and met everybody and kind of had a look around,” Metz said. “I really liked what I saw. I was surprised. The people, the facilities, it’s all been really nice. The people have been welcoming. They were [ more METZ page 16 ]

happy to see a new face and group of horses. A lot of times if you come in and things go really well for you, people really frown on it. But they’ve been different here, they’ve been really welcoming. Usually the target is on you when you’re doing well. But I’ve had a good meet so far, no complaints.” After the Emerald Downs session ends on Sept. 28, Metz plans to ship his string back down to Phoenix for the track’s Oct. 5 opening. He hopes to continue to race Phoenix and Emerald Downs in the future. “I think it’s a great mix,” Metz said. “There is about a two-week overlap at the end of Phoenix, but by that time you’re ready. That’s my plan for next year.” But first there is the little matter of the Mile. “I’ve been aware of the Mile,” Metz said. “A friend of mine from Southern California, Craig Dollase, has run in it with Awesome Gem (who won the mile in 2011). I’ve never really focused on it that much because, with the caliber of horses I had, I never really had one that was ready to go in a $200,000 race.” Until Why Not Be Perfect. “He won three stakes in Turf Paradise, one of them being in dirt at a mile,” Metz said. “He’s worked well on the track. He’s run third and fourth in some

He can show speed or he can stalk, so I’m hoping that will play in his favor. “It’s one of those races where you bring the sprinters and the routers all together for a fast in-between race, a pretty quick mile,” he added. Why Not Be Perfect will go into the Mile in the No. 9 spot, with a 118-pound weight allowance, right in the middle of the pack. The 6-year-old from Whywhywhy and Perfect Time, and owned by J.C.

does, I think we’re sitting right where we want to be,” Metz said. “The biggest race I’ve won is a $45,000 stakes race, that was my first stakes race. Then Why Not has won three stakes for $35,000. I’ve run in some races that were bigger, but if we were to win the Mile, it would be the biggest by far. It would really be a cap to the season.” Metz added: “I hope we can finish out the meet on a positive note, and obviously the Longacres Mile would be the pinnacle,” he said. “But as long as we just keep going the way we’re going, it’ll be a success. I think it was well worth coming and it worked out.”
