The Auburn City Council on Monday cleared the way for Teutsch Partners LLC to buy the Southeast and Southwest blocks of Division Street in downtown Auburn.

City officials estimate the sale price of the two blocks is $1.75 million.

A call to end domestic violence Agencies, leaders converge to show support at Kent rally

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Every year, 11,000 victims of domestic violence in King County turn to the legal system for help, according to Dan Satterberg.

But, as the King County Prosecutor said last Friday on the sunny steps of Kent’s Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center, he can only wonder how many more people are too afraid to call or come forward.

Especially given that one of every three murders committed in King County every year is a domestic violence crime.

“We know that domestic violence is a vastly underreported crime,” Satterberg said.

“The reality is that many, many more people live every day under the threat of harm, and under the threat of death.”

Police officers from the King County Sheriff’s Office and from Auburn, Kent, Federal Way and other South

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg addresses the crowd during a regional law enforcement domestic violence awareness rally on the front steps of the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center last Friday. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter King County agencies, domestic violence advocates, treatment providers, survivors, attorneys from the King County Prosecutor’s Office and municipal prosecutor’s offices, attended the rally against domestic violence sponsored by the Auburn Domestic Violence Task Force.

Parked on the large sidewalk in front of the RJC entrance was a line of police patrol cars.

All of the officers who came

For community For Family Elections Matter

displayed the purple ribbon in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Satterberg addressed the efforts of law enforcement, legislators and the community response to the growing problem of human trafficking and its proliferation through domestic violence.

“The reality of domestic violence is that the greatest predictor of lethality is a prior act

of violence,” Satterberg said.

“Other risk factors out there … include chronic unemployment and access to firearms.

But the greatest predictor of domestic violence is a prior act of any sort of violence. And that’s why we take any sort of violence so seriously. We can’t predict which of today’s misdemeanors is tomorrow’s homicide, but we know that is a common denominator of all homicides.”

The Domestic Violence Unit of the King County Prosecutor’s Office also presented the 15th annual Norm Maleng Law Enforcement Award to King County Sheriff ’s Marshall Danielle Bentley and Detective Don Wittmer in recognition of their efforts to fight domestic violence.

“Domestic violence is only going to be able to be illuminated and eradicated with our whole team,” Satterberg said.

“But we especially honor you today, first responders, who have to come out every time one of those 11,000 calls per year is made. We’re counting on you in the first instance to bring peace to the community and to bring safety to victims.”

Auburn to form junior city council REPORTER STAFF

The City of Auburn is putting together a nine-person junior city council to get advice from the young folks on things like parks, recreation, entertainment, traffic, police, festivals, trails, environmental stewardship and other social issues.

Students will learn leadership skills, improve their chances for scholarships, learn how City government operates and see how they can influence government activities to make a positive difference in the world.

Interested youth who live in the Auburn city limits and attend Auburn schools in grades 8-12 grade are eligible to apply.

Deadline to turn in applications is 5 p.m.

Oct. 15. The nine-member council may include one member from other schools located outside of the city as long that student lives in Auburn.

“We are very excited about the possibilities for the students in our area,” said Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus.

City officials estimate that students will need to spend about two hours per week during the school year attending meetings, participating in City functions and studying for meetings.

Application forms are available for download on the City’s website – www. auburnwa.gov – or at City Hall in the City Clerk’s office, 25 W. Main St., or at their school principal’s office.

Joint memorial would be a good fit for Auburn Recently, we have seen in the Auburn Reporter letters and guest editorials speaking for or against a proposed joint Vietnam veterans memorial.

Some such letters say a majority of Auburn VFW Post members oppose the memorial, and say it is causing a division among veterans. There is a division. Some support it, others don’t. I am a member of Auburn VFW Post 1741 and I support the memorial.

Veterans from outside the VFW also support the memorial.

Those “against” the memorial said things like – it should not be located in Veterans Memorial Park; it would not apply to all veterans; it would cost public money; there should be no private monuments in City parks; it is dividing veterans; Vietnam was a waste of time; and the memorial would remind Vietnam veterans of things they want to forget.

My responses are as follows: 1. Veteran memorials ought to be located in Veterans Memorial Park. But if it is that important to keep Veterans Memorial Park for American veterans only, put this memorial in another park. Unfortunately, the VFW apparently opposes it going into any park.

2. Although the proposed memorial would not apply to all veterans, why not support something that is valuable to some veterans?

3. The memorial would be built with privately donated money. City costs would be minimal, things like mowing the grass around the memorial.

4. There are already private monuments in City parks, such as park benches and trees installed and dedicated to loved ones. Larger monuments in parks can always be approved by the City Council.

5. There may be a division among veterans about the memorial, but some veterans would welcome it. The memorial intends to do two things of value: express gratitude for [ more HEID page 8 ]

Auburn should join other cities, welcome memorial I would like to comment on Jesse Jose’s guest opinion (“War memorial has divided us,” Auburn Reporter, Sept. 27) where he stated: “… the idea of building this war memorial at the Veterans Park is dividing us and creating bad feelings within our ranks.”

The correct name for this “Veterans Park” in Auburn is “Veterans Memorial Park,” with the emphasis on “Memorial.”

According to Webster’s Dictionary, a memorial is “something designed to preserve the memory of a person, event, etc., as a monument or a holiday.” The main purpose of the proposed joint American – Vietnamese war memorial is to preserve the memories of those who fought side by side for freedom and democracy in Vietnam.

Following the “Fall of Saigon” on April 30, 1975, the Communist regime, in a terrible act of retribution, desecrated the military cemeteries in South Vietnam. The desecration of these military cemeteries of the South Vietnamese armed forces is one of the reasons for establishing joint Vietnam War memorials in U.S. cities, since the war memorials and monuments in Vietnam today only honor those who fought on the communist side.

Hopefully, the City of Auburn, known for having the largest Veterans Day Parade west of the Mississippi, will join the ranks of other cities across the U.S. and approve the proposed joint American – Vietnamese war memorial, helping to ensure that the memory of those who fought for

For many reasons, I have chosen to commute on foot to my chiropractic office in Auburn for the past 26 years.

For 15 years, that commute has taken me along 105th on Lea Hill. It’s a treacherous route, with poor visibility and narrow shoulders that are often covered by storm debris for extended periods. Many motorists routinely drive on these narrow shoulders.

Concerned about this dangerous situation, I have called the City, seeking a solution many times over the years. Each time I’ve been told,” we’ll look into it,” with no results. I’ve even written, suggesting low-cost solutions and requesting a written response and gotten none.

Priorities do have consequences. There are measures that have been proven to save pedestrian’s lives when implemented; however, all require some investment. When priorities dictate that the available resources are spent elsewhere, these measures are not implemented.

John Partridge runs the routes that I walk and is concerned about this and other safety issues. As past chaplain of the Auburn Fire Department, and with his work with the King County Regional Law and Safety Committee, he is committed to public safety. He is dedicated to resetting the priorities of city government and, to shaking up the “standard operating procedures” of City government, making City government responsive to its citizens.

Our priorities and our choices often have unintended consequences.

Being concerned about pedestrian and public safety is important, as I’m sure both candidates for mayor

are. However, it takes more than concern about serious issues to make significant change.

John Partridge shares these concerns and he is committed to making the necessary changes in the City’s priorities and the ways it functions, necessary to make these changes.

Please join me in electing John Partridge mayor of Auburn.

ICLEI? A subversive organization Roger Hancock’s letter (“A need for local control”, Auburn Reporter, Oct. 4) accurately describes ICLEI as an organization that subverts local control. Our Auburn City Council, with good leadership by John Partridge and Pete Lewis, made the right decision Sept. 30 to cancel their ICLEI membership.

ICLEI (once called International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives) has lost many members during the last two years, and its website, www.icleiusa.org, no longer lists member cities.

The website now downplays as “conspiracy theory” its previously stated connection with the “U.N. Agenda 21.”

Fortunately, Washington state has strong public records request laws. A 2011 citizen request to Bellevue regarding ICLEI provided a humorous, if not concerning, result. The email chain included staff from ICLEI and several local cities. The subject was an effort to obtain “fiscal pledges” for a “Climate Collaboration” effort. A Bellevue staff member wrote: “Since we don’t have a strong mayor form of government, technically I have to take the question to Council and ask them to authorize our Mayor to sign.

I will be checking with the City Manager to see if there is some less laborious [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

Our city shines in many different ways Auburn is a great place to live, work and play. I know it’s cliché, but it is what I believe.

I have spent the last few months sitting silent, reading this constant stream of negativity toward my city, my elected officials and the people that live here. I, for one, will not speak ill of the town where I was born, raised, educated, and, for the better part of my adult life, earned a living.

I was educated in and taught in the Auburn School District – I would put our district up to any school district in the state, and it’s not far

reaching to say the nation. We consistently turn out young adults that go forth and make a positive impact locally, regionally and nationally. The district offers top-of-the-line programs and opportunities to all of its students in this most basic of benefits as an American citizen “a free and public education.” My former colleagues in the district are the smartest, most dedicated and passionate people I know and are truly doing the Lord’s work day in and day out.

We have nonprofit organizations in this town that give selflessly to help the hungry, poor and underserved. It is tragic and heartbreaking. I sit on the board for two of them and volunteer or give to others whenever I can – we are only as strong as our weakest link, and our fellow citizens need us. Demonizing the poor in this town is callous. It is not a crime to be poor, unemployed or homeless.

Our local government is doing its best to maintain a high level of service to its 74,000 citizens. I am one of those people doing their best each and every day to make every tax dollar spent on me

as an employee worth it, but I don’t work for a paycheck, I work for Auburn. The place I was born and raised. I do it because I love it here.

I’ve lived in other cities for a short time, but I always came back to Auburn, and this is where I will stay. I’m not a disgruntled employee, a lazy government worker or a corrupt City Hall insider. I’m a resident, a professional, and I work very hard for Auburn, as do my coworkers.

Like any city, we can certainly make improvements and try to make positive progress every day, and I believe we are well on our way. We have great schools, a growing business community, plenty of amenities and a local government that cares.

I try every day to leave Auburn better than I found it.

Where I see a need, I will try to help. If there’s a mess, I will clean it up. If I can buy it in Auburn, I will. I’m either part of the solution or part of the problem. I prefer the former.

My father admonished me many times, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” He was right.

– Dana Hinman

It’s just similar rubbish Molly Graece’s letter (“Let’s all do our part and clean up Auburn”, Auburn Reporter, Sept. 27) prompts this letter, but this is directed at the Reporter itself.

Several years ago I represented a person who literally lost her home due to City fines for not mowing her yard.

She had suffered a debilitating disease, leaving her bed ridden for months, unable to even answer her phone.

In my opinion, an unmowed yard does not a slum make.

The inference by proximity in Ms. Graece’s letter then is that Mexican mercados, i.e.

Mexican merchants, do create a slum. Such a reference is designed to distinguish a group of people by race and then to subject them to general outrage by the community.

While I defend Ms. Graece’s right to think what she might, I find the inclusion of it in our newspaper to be similar rubbish.

– John Torres

which affects us all.

And though this is an energy proposal, it’s even questionable how much energy sense it even makes. Consider, for example, the energy consumed in mining, loading and transporting the coal.

And regarding the trains, we are all expected to bear the daily costs of the gas and time we burn while waiting for them to pass. When these energy costs are factored in, it’s unclear how much net energy the proposal would even produce.

As a teaser, proponents point to the jobs the project would produce. However, relatively few would be permanent, they won’t be in South King County, and on the whole would amount to a mere drop in the bucket regionally.

And the upshot – the project would make it harder for those who already have jobs to get to them on time. While a few would benefit from the jobs produced, we are all being asked to foot a huge bill for them.

This is not the kind of economic activity we should be creating. We could, for example, mine the Washington Monument or State Capitol for marble. This would create jobs, but not ones that make us better off.

Let’s reject this proposal as the opportunistic, selfish money grab it is.

We had some tough tasks, but knowing that while we were facing enemy fire, folks back home were protesting against the war, made it even tougher.

I will never forget, when I returned home from overseas, being “greeted” at the airport with anti-war signs, hostile jeers, insults and profanity. Unfortunately, America abandoned the South Vietnamese much as it did the U.S. troops who served in Vietnam.

Remember, anti-war protesters said the people of South Vietnam did not want us there. Yet, think how desperate people would have to be to leave everybody and everything behind, departing in overcrowded boats heading for who-knows-where.

7. A recent guest editorial suggested that Vietnam veterans may oppose the memorial because of guilt they feel for horrid things they did, and because it would remind them of atrocities and their guilt and shame.

If American troops did shameful things, shame on them. But I submit atrocities would have been very, very few in number. I certainly saw nothing like that.

Instead, I felt proud, I am still proud, to have served in Vietnam and proud of the guys I served with. We tried to do things about which we could be proud. Some of my fondest memories of Vietnam are of Med Caps, where some Marines and Corpsmen (when not out on patrol) would go into rural villages with medical supplies to help people who probably never, ever saw a doctor. Their gratitude is something I will never forget and will always cherish. That is certainly not something that gave us feelings of guilt or shame.

This memorial would fit in Auburn, a city that strongly supports all veterans.

Between 2003 when the City of Auburn adopted its multi-family property tax exemption, and 2013, no proposed development projects qualified for the credit.

Too steep, developers said of the minimum required investment per unit of $200,000.

On Monday, however, the Auburn City Council lowered the minimum

investment per unit to $130,000, allowing two developers to carry their projects over the threshold.

The first, Landmark Development, broke ground Thursday on a five-story, 126-unit, mixed-use building, Trek Apartments, on the site of the former Cavanaugh Block.

The second, Teutsch Partners LLC, this week acquired from the City

The City was awarded a $2.2 million federal grant from the Economic Development Administration and a $7.2 million local revitalization bond that upgraded streets, sidewalks and utilities to support modern construction.

State Rep. Pat Sullivan (D) helped the City secure funds for the project.

“When we finished the promenade in 2012, this is exactly why we did it,” said Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus, who chairs the City’s Planning and Development Committee. “We worked hard to find the funding for that project to upgrade the infrastructure to

A 1994 graduate of Federal Way High School, Walker – who works for a national telecommunications company – is attending online classes for Walden University to earn his degree in instructional design and technology.

After winning his seat in the 2005 election, Walker quickly set about learning the ins and outs of city government.

“That first term was a blur, learning how government really works,” he said.

One of the things he does remember, however, was helping to form the Valley Regional Fire Authority, which combined fire departments from Auburn, Pacific and Algona into one organization in 2007.

attract the type of development that we can be proud of and that will have an impact.”

According to Economic Development Manager Doug Lein, the City’s commitment to rebuilding infrastructure is key to the current economic upswing in Auburn.

“Our City Council’s oversight through our economically challenging times is what made it possible to be ready for the marketplace and is allowing us to attract well-established and capitalized developers like Teutsch and Landmark,” Lein said.

City officials estimate the new developments downtown will result in 300-500 new residents in the downtown core and more than 100,000 square feet of retail space.

John Walker of Teutsch and Brett Jacobsen of Plan A Development were in the council chamber to thank the City Council for its support.

Groundbreaking for the Plan A Development/Landmark Development project on East Main Street was Thursday. The first of the three developments to get underway is to be a five-story mixture of retail on the base facing East Main Street and four floors of a high-end finish, high quality, market-rate apartment community. The building should be finished in the summer 2014.

Teutsch Partners, LLC was formed in 1987 as a privatelyowned, regionally-focused, commercial real estate services and development company. Since

“I was on the steering committee, and I’ve served on the board since its inception,” he said. “Just the advancements we’ve seen in the fire department since then are impressive. Pacific has a brand new fire engine. (It) would have been very difficult for us to afford (it) if we were just a City fire department. As a whole, the fire authority has purchased a ladder truck, two new aid cars and two engines and built two stations from the ground up and renovated one.”

Walker also credits the VRFA leadership for helping to reduce insurance payments for residents in its coverage area.

Walker said his time on the council has been enjoyable, but admits that having to deal with the turmoil that came with the

contentious Sun era was difficult.

“It took a lot of time,” he said.

“I’d take a vacation day from work, come down to check my mail and end up staying for four hours talking. I felt like everybody was comfortable coming to me.

I think I was that go-between.

But it took a lot of time. I was on the phone every day talking with someone trying to work through problems. It got pretty stressful.”

Now, with old rifts hopefully on the mend in the city, Walker looks forward to making progress on a few projects close to his heart.

“I want to see our police department accredited and make sure they’re fully staffed,” Walker said. “I think everybody’s priority is public safety, not just fire but police as well.”

Walker said he has parks at the

“I want to see a dog park, and I want to see a skate park for the kids,” he said. “And I want to help fund that by working to get grants to do that kind of cool stuff that we can do.”

Technology also is a top priority.

“I would like to work to introduce technology that will help local government become more transparent and inviting for the citizens,” he said. “I would like to update the City website so residents can get updated information about what is happening in town. Eventually I would like to see council packets, minutes, audio recordings and eventually video recordings of the meetings online so more people can see what is happening at City Hall.

While continuing to provide corporate real estate advisory services to some of the Pacific Northwest’s prominent organizations, Teutsch Partners has developed a diverse portfolio of favorably performing commercial real estate assets.

Former AR star killed in hit-andrun accident Reporter staff

A hit-and-run accident killed a 23-year-old woman as she was crossing East Valley Highway in Sumner around 11 p.m. Saturday, Sumner police said.

The woman was identified as Rachel Givens, a paraeducator and coach at Muckleshoot Tribal School, media sources reported Monday. Givens was a 2008 Auburn Riverside High School graduate, where she starred in basketball and soccer.

Friends said Givens was about to join them inside the Log Cabin Pub on the highway when she was struck by a car while crossing the street. The driver then sped off.

According to investigators, a small dark sedan or sports car left the scene, heading north.

Givens was rushed to Tacoma General Hospital in critical condition. A hospital spokesperson said she passed away Monday.

Police ask anyone who sees a vehicle in the area with serious front-end damage to call the Sumner police tip line at 253299-5678.

The Auburn Riverside soccer team remembered Givens with a moment of silence before its game against Tahoma on Tuesday night.

I would also like to bring Channel 21 (the City’s public access channel) technology into the 21st century so we share information about events, meetings, and even emergency situations quickly. I think the technology committee will be getting very busy in the coming months.”

Ronnie M. Harris Harris did not return emails or phone calls requesting interviews and information. Harris, who originally filed for the Position No. 5 seat before withdrawing and throwing his hat in for the No. 7 seat, also has not submitted any Voters Pamphlet information with the King County or Pierce County elections departments.

“It allows the developer to take advantage of this credit,” Partridge added.

Bret Jacobsen, one of the principals of the Landmark Development Group, explained recently what getting the tax abatement would mean. “(It allows) us to build a better product than we might otherwise be able to bring to the table,” Jacobsen said.

The City also moved the period by which the applications for the abatement had to be submitted to a point prior to the issuance of building permits, rather than by the end of the year.

“The reason we extended that was that there were some requirements that we imposed, things we had to learn about with some standards and analysis that we wanted to be done, that basically made it impossible for some of the developers

White River Valley Lions club hopes to roar back

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The White River Valley Lions came into existence in 2008 with 26 members, poised and ready to serve the Pacific and Algona communities.

Five months after forming, the Lions went to work, filling sandbags and helping Pacific residents affected by White River flooding in 2009.

Now, almost five years later, the once mighty group – a part of Lions Club International, the world’s largest volunteer service club – has fallen on hard times.

“We’ve had a turnover

“When membership gets below 10 members, it’s really hard to be effective,” Fancher said.

The situation became so dire that the club considered folding, Fancher said.

The group, however, decided to use the upcoming National Make A Difference Day on Oct. 26 to announce its plans to soldier on.

“We’re in rebuilding status,” Fancher said.

“Our membership dues are paid up until December. We’re in good standing, so it’s kind of a rebuilding kickoff.”

Big technological changes could be coming soon to the City of Pacific.

At Tuesday’s City Council workshop, councilmembers met with Ron Tiedeman, director of Auburn’s Innovation and Technology

Department, which Pacific contracts with for technology support. They discussed ways to work on several of the City’s technology issues, including its website, Internet infrastructure and public address and recording system in the council chambers.

Councilmembers were informed that a newly designed website was actually paid for and completed. It is just waiting for the City’s OK. “The City of Pacific did pay for a website to be designed but never actually finalized

what type of option you wanted to move forward with, whether that hosting included our hosting and updates, general design changes, or whether that was simply a hosted site that the City of Pacific uploaded documents to,” Tiedeman said. “I think that’s first and foremost to discuss.”

A third party hosts the City’s website. If switched to Auburn’s control, Pacific’s technology committee will have to decide whether to recommend City employees

The group plans to fan out after lunch to help any resident of Algona and Pacific who can’t do simple household chores.

“There are lots of people in Algona and Pacific who might need those types of things done,” she said.

of members,” said Jeanne Fancher, Pacific resident and club secretary and treasurer.

“Like any organization or group, people have life events. And it seemed like every year has brought challenges and barriers to being a member of the club,” she said. “It just kind of happened that we ended up with low membership.”

The group has only two members, with three more expected to join soon. But Fancher said it’s not enough to help out effectively in the community, the core reason for the club’s existence.

Busted jaw not enough to stop Auburn pugilist in Super-Middleweight fight

By RICHARD BAKER for the Auburn Reporter

The quiet of the intensive care unit at Harborview Hospital was in direct contrast to the cheering crowds at Silver Reef Casino, during what could be considered the greatest boxing match ever seen in the Northwest. Tristan Todd broke Mike Gavronski’s jaw in the second round of their Super-Middleweight bout

PINK THE RINK

Sept. 21. Gavronski, the toughest prospect in local history, refused to quit and battled back in every round until he pummeled Todd to a TKO victory in the 8th round. Now Todd is fighting back, not for a minor title, but for his life.

Boxing is a severe sport. The more brutal the fight is, the greater the fan approval. This fight had the fans on their feet, a bloodlust they feel but do not really believe. They want to see a boxer hurt, pummeled, beaten, because they want to see how much punishment a person can endure and still prevail. They imagine they can take the same punishment. Boxing is a surreal experience. When the fight

is over the fans expect each fighter to immediately heal, as if the fight had not even happened, as if the punishment were a pleasurable illusion. The last thing they want is to see a fighter permanently damaged. Reality often trumps illusion, and fighters do get hurt.

There is no such thing as a minor title fight for a boxer. The inconsequential Global Boxing Organization Super Middleweight title was contested with fierce rivalry between these two warriors. To them the belt was as important as the world heavyweight title in the days when there

Trojans, Ravens nab wins; Lions lose SPSL 3A opener Reporter Staff

The Auburn Trojans ran past Kentlake 60-38 in South Puget Sound League North 4A action this past Thursday at French Field in Kent.

The Trojans (4-1, 4-1) were led by senior halfback Kieo Buchanan, who had 13 carries for 180 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Buchanan also returned a kick 87 yards

[ Fight from page 13 ] was only one heavyweight title and people uninterested in boxing still knew the name of the champion.

Gavronski (12-0-1), fighting out of Auburn, has caught the eyes of people who understand the qualities of a future contender, if not a champion. His greatest attribute is his determination.

He showed that determination after Todd hit him with a sledgehammer shot in the second round that broke his jaw in two places causing him him to swallow two teeth like gumdrops. Gav-

for a touchdown.

Junior Ercle Terrell also got in on the act, rushing 8 times for 87 yards and two TDs. Junior fullback Patrick O’Dell added two rushing touchdowns, and senior William Jefferies had five carries for 86 yards and a TD. The Falcons (0-4, 0-5) were led by Danston Kaunada’s three rushing touchdowns.

The Trojans host Jeffer-

son (2-2, 2-3) at 7 p.m. next Thursday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

Auburn Riverside turned to its ground game last Thursday, piling up 219 yards rushing with three touchdowns to

sweep past Jefferson 31-21 in South Puget Sound League North 4A action.

Cole Huckleby’s 92 yards on 15 carries, and a touchdown, led the Ravens (5-0 league, 5-0 overall). Senior

quarterback Kevin Thomson added 86 yards on nine carries and Joey Luchessi had six carries for 32 yards and a TD. Gavin Hettinger and Joey Galeno added rushing touchdowns.

Auburn Riverside’s defense also also contributed, with Artem Deyenka returning a fumble 80 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Ravens held Jefferson (2-3, 2-2) to 209 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers. Alex Riley also recovered a fumble, and Vinny Le snagged an interception.

Auburn Riverside hosts

ronski refused to quit and never took a backward step.

Todd, from Memphis Tennessee, was equally determined . Five of his eight wins have come by knockout.

He brought that power into the ring against Gavronski.

When two immovable forces collide, something must give.

For Gavronski it was his jaw; for Todd, his brain.

Immediately after the fight it was Gavronski, although the winner, who was thought to be the most physically damaged. The hospital Xrays revealed a shattered jaw, which doctors wired shut.

But it was Todd, who later

collapsed with a brain hemorrhage, who was rushed to the emergency room. Bleeding in the brain caused tremendous compression, and doctors operated to relieve the mounting pressure.

Contrary to popular belief, fighters have a mutual reverence for one another.

By attempting to beat each other senseless, they pound in the respect. The hug and handshake at the finish of a fight is heartfelt and not just a convention. They resemble soldiers throughout the world who fight hard but accept the fact that both are engaged in a deadly

endeavor, and seldom carry any animosity after the battle is won or lost.

When a boxer is badly damaged in a fight, the effect can be devastating for the winner. Emile Griffith never fully recovered after Benny “Kid” Paret died in their 1962 bout. Griffith always remembered the beating and pulled his punches when he realized his opponent was in trouble.

The reluctance to fight with full force after injuring an opponent has affected many fighters and ruined many careers. Sugar Ramos suffered doubts about boxing after Davey Moore died in the ring, even though Moore died, not from a punch, but because his neck snapped

when it hit the bottom rope as he fell. No one has suffered more than Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini after killing Deuk-Koo Kim. Mancini, a devout Catholic, has never recovered. Although he continued to fight after the death, he spent years in counseling and lost his ability as a great finisher.

Fighting is a risky business. So are many jobs. The chances of being injured or killed in logging are far greater than in boxing. Truck drivers run the risk of wrecks and fishermen the fate of drowning. Cheerleading is considered the most dangerous sport in the U.S. Living is a risk. The risk of injury in boxing just seems more intimate. The whole point

www.auburn-reporter.com [ ESTATES from page 1 ] with all the cutbacks (and uncertainty in health care),” Hendricks said between phone calls in her busy office. “This is just a small example of what I envision senior care should be – that they should be listened to … that their needs should be met.”

Cherished Acres Estates – by Cooper’s Corner – is an ongoing labor of love for Hendrickx, a licensed dental hygienist who left her work in private dental offices and nursing homes to establish the adult family care business nearly nine years ago.

“My husband said, ‘You’re crazy,’” Hendrickx recalled of her pursuit. “People stated that nobody would come. They said, ‘You’re out in the country. ‘ But they did (come). We were full in six months.”

In time, business and services grew. Jenny and Jeff Hendrickx ultimately bought three homes when they became available. One neighbor sold their home to the couple to retire in

Florida.

The houses, which connect triangularly but are separated, were subsequently converted, licensed into adult care use, and named Wisdom, Grace and Faithful.

The couple has since opened an activity center and is entertaining further expansion ideas.

Jenny Hendrickx, 45, remains the heart and soul of the operation, a “Jill-of-alltrades” who runs errands, solves problems, even cleans and adjusts many of her residents’ teeth from the comforts of a donated dental chair on site.

“She had a purpose in life. This is her passion,” Jeff Hendrickx said. “She’s the best.”

Jeff Hendrickx, a Port of Seattle firefighter, emergency medical technician and CPR/First Aid instructor, has helped shape what Cherished Acres Estates is today. The couple-owned and -operated adult care homes support 16 residents and a staff of 22 – from certified nursing assistants to

a registered nurse, from an administrator to a groundskeeper – providing a wide range of services.

Providing such a place for seniors was born from a sixth-grader’s imagination.

Jenny’s teacher had asked his students to write about what they might be doing in 25-30 years.

“I still remember it vividly,” she said. “I wrote about seniors and how I wanted to have a bus to take them on activities and to care for them.”

Heart for elders Hendrickx lived off and on with her grandparents growing up. She enjoyed listening to their stories. She wanted one day to provide for family and seniors as much, or even more than, what they meant to her.

She eventually would make that happen.

“It’s far better than I ever thought, but it’s a lot harder,” she said of her consuming, yet rewarding work. “This is so needed … they need the care.

“It’s not rocket science.

It’s about listening, I mean really listening to what they really like, want and need.”

Her story has come full circle. About five years ago, a gentleman came to Wisdom House, looking for a home to care for his father.

“I knew the voice but I didn’t recognize the person,” Hendrickx said of the visitor. “He toured the place, then he sat next to me … and I said, ’Mr. Miller, by chance did you teach at Renton Park El-

ementary sixth grade?’ And he just looked at me and said, ‘Jenny, is that you?’”

Just as she wrote in Mr. Miller’s class, Hendrickx was living the tale.

“I’m living my dream to do this,” she said. “(Mr. Miller) gave me hope as a kid … now, my goal is to give these seniors hope of what could and should be.”
