Idle highway section in ruins

A section of West Valley in Algona and near Pacific remains closed with severe cracks and sinkholes.

SHAWN SKAGER,

Officials: Repairing road will take considerable time, cooperation, money

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Algona Mayor Dave Hill chuckles talking about the condition of the closed section of West Valley Highway.

Not that the indefinite closure of one of the main arterials through the Green River Valley is any laughing matter.

It’s just that the condition of the road – closed since a Feb. 17

landslide brought down tons of dirt, mud and debris from the west valley ridge – is so utterly preposterous, with deteriorating pavement, and cracks and [ more HIGHWAY page 3 ]

Man who killed Auburn cab driver receives 12 years

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

RUSH HOUR Children dart at the start of the Cats and Dogs 1K Fun Run at Roegner Park last Saturday. The Lakeland Hills Elementary and Mt. Baker Middle School PTSAs presented the first occurrence of what will be an annual event, with proceeds benefitting both

schools’ programs. A bake sale and raffle followed the run/walk.

Seahawks mascot Blitz was on hand to entertain and encourage participants.

RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

The man who crashed his van into Brian Love’s taxi in the early morning hours of July 5, 2013, killing the popular Auburn cabbie, learned last Friday he would be heading to prison for 12 years.

But probably not that long.

The reality is that with good behavior and for time already served on the vehicular homicide charge, 30-year-old Floyd Gonzalez could be on the streets again in eight years.

Friends and family of Love found the sentence Judge William A. Bowen had just imposed bitter, noting that, because of a plea deal, Gonzalez would not have to answer for reckless endangerment and for fleeing the scene.

“No, I don’t think that’s enough,” Cheryl Combs, Love’s fiancée, said outside Courtroom 3H at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent, after the sentence was imposed.

Woman shot, paralyzed from drug deal turned violent in parking lot; 2 arrested

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The King County Prosector on Tuesday charged Dustin J. Chase, 24, and Tauna Elaine Johnson, 38, each with one count of firstdegree robbery for their

roles in a drug deal turned robbery turned shooting last Friday morning in a south Auburn parking lot.

Medics transported the shooting victim, Joleen Villamor, to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with gunshot wounds to the

neck. According to medical staff, Villamor, in her mid-30s, suffered a severed spinal cord and is paralyzed from the neck down. As of Tuesday morning, she was still in critical condition.

It’s a Mardi Gras for cats, dogs and pets of all descriptions. It’s a celebration played out at a place fittingly named Game Farm Park.

Sens. Fain, Roach file for re-election FOR THE REPORTER

Auburn’s state Republican senators – Joe Fain (47th Legislative District) and Pam Roach (31st) announced this week they will seek re-election.

During his first term in

Fain

Roach

office, Fain said, he worked to change the way Olympia operates. By prioritizing education and demanding responsible budgets, Fain said, his efforts succeeded

in bringing an end to the state’s billion-dollar deficits while prioritizing existing resources for students without raising taxes.

Last year, Fain led a successful effort to add more than $1 billion directly into Washington’s K-12 education system while holding tuition flat at state colleges and universities for the first time in 25 years.

Roach, meanwhile, won

re-election in 2010 with 66 percent of the vote.

“I want to continue my work to protect taxpayers, defend constitutional liberties, and boost Washington’s economic recovery,” Roach said. “The concerns of the people are my priorities.”

Roach has been endorsed by her Senate Republican Caucus Leadership.

Friends and family gathered to honor Mark Prothero at the Kentwood High School Commons last Saturday.

Community celebrates the life of Mark Prothero REPORTER STAFF

A large crowd representing different facets of Mark Prothero’s life gathered at the Kentwood High School Commons last Saturday to celebrate the Kent man’s life.

Prothero – a prominent criminal defense attorney, civic leader, community volunteer and coach – died April 19 at his Kent home.

Prothero, who had battled cancer, was 57.

Prothero is best known as one of the lead defense attorneys in the high-profile case against Gary Ridgway between 2001 and 2003.

As co-counsel, Prothero brokered a plea deal that spared Ridgway the death penalty in exchange for the Auburn man confessing to 49 counts of aggravated murder.

“He was a fine attorney, a great man,” said King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, among the many legal and civic leaders at the open house. “He was an

absolute gentleman and one of the real good guys in the legal profession.”

John Holman, a Auburn City Councilman, worked with Prothero on the Washington State Forensics Investigations Council. He called Prothero a true professional, a gifted man.

“Mark was very reasonable to work with … he was always about the truth.”

Prothero was also remembered for his tireless work in the community and how his gentle ways impacted others.

“It was a tremendous privilege to know Mark, to be his friend and his partner,” said fellow attorney Mike Hanis. “We’re going to miss him, we’re going to miss him very much.”

The family has asked that donations be made to either KentParksFoundation.org or HuskySwimmingFoundation.com.

RESIDENTS INVITED TO I-502 WORKSHOP The City of Auburn hosts a public workshop Tuesday, part of its ongoing effort toward developing and implementing appropriate City code requirements in response to the passage of Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana. The workshop is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Auburn City Hall, 25 West Main St. Residents and stakeholders at the workshop can learn more about the legislation and share and discuss their positions on the topic of state-licensed recreational marijuana uses in the city.

[ HIGHWAY from page 1 ] sinkholes more than 10 inches deep and 10 feet long.

“There is a grading system, called PCI, Paving Condition Index, and gravel roads rate higher than some of West Valley,” Hill said. “It goes from zero to a hundred: brand new road is a hundred, a pasture is zero.

Some of this road is nine or 10.

Gravel is 11.”

The scale, instituted by the Army Corps of Engineers, labels anything under 10 a failed road surface.

Although the road there is flat-out awful, not much has been done so far to begin the process of reopening it.

And the fault for that is a matter of history, funding difficulty and jurisdictions, Hill said.

“Technically. we (Algona) own half of the road,” Hill said. “The other half is owned by the county.

Our half has the sinkhole, and both halves have the landslide.”

Hill explained that King County owns the southbound side of the road, whereas Algona claims the northbound side.

The road itself runs through Pacific, which owns the land on the east side of the road. Pacific’s ownership of the road picks up at Third Avenue East and continues to the King-Pierce County line.

“In 1955 (Algona was originally) supposed to go all the way down to Third Avenue in Pacific, as it was drawn up,” Hill said. “Pacific hurriedly annexed that property so

Seattle-to-Portland Every year the Group Health Seattleto-Portland Bicycle Classic winds its way through the Green River Valley, using West Valley Highway as part of the 202-mile journey.

Not this year.

“They wanted us to temporarily open West Valley to let them through,” Algona Mayor Dave Hill said. “But you could lose a bicycle in some of those sinkholes.”

Instead, the route will turn into Pacific at Ellingson, winding its way down Frontage Road to Third Avenue, where it will again join West Valley.

Algona couldn’t incorporate it. In the process, the boundary review board, which sets the city boundaries, left one lane of road that would have been in Algona if we had incorporated all that area. But once it was annexed by Pacific, we couldn’t incorporate that. And it’s been that way since 1955. We own that lane from there until Auburn starts.”

The joint ownership of the road has made finding funding sources for repair a nightmare, Hill said.

“It’s next to impossible to get anything done on the road,” he said. “The county has no money, we don’t have a lot of money, and you can’t get grant money for half a road. So the county can’t get money for their half through their normal sources, and the city can’t get money for its half from any of the

sources we’d normally raise money from.”

According to Rochelle Ogershok, a spokesperson for the King County Department of Transportation, the key concern with West Valley right now is safety.

“King County’s first goal Hill is to keep people safe on the 1,500 miles of road and 180 bridges in unincorporated communities,” he said. “When heavy rain and an unstable hillside caused a landslide to cover West Valley Highway in March, the County and City of Algona closed the road to traffic to keep residents safe.

Hill agrees, pointing out a near miss experienced by a driver whose car was hit by the February landslide while driving on West Valley.

Although the driver was unhurt, Hill said, the incident was a chilling reminder of what could happen.

“We have to err on the site of safety,” he said. “And right now with the sinkholes – we’re not even sure we know were all of them are, to open the road we’d need to do a lot more studying and testing to make sure we know were they are – heaven forbid they are driving down that road and drop into a four-foot hole.”

Any solution to repairing and reopening the road will likely have to come in the form of an agreement between King County and Algona, and possibly Pacific.

“We’re in the middle of doing

design from our city limits to Stewart Road on West Valley Highway,” Pacific’s interim Public Works Director Ken Barnett said. “They’re done with the cultural resources portion of it, and now they can get in do the geo-tech and surveying. Once we get that we can go out for grants for construction. We’d like to partner with Algona and King County on that. It’s makes it better to get grants when you’ve got three municipalities and combined agencies. The hope is that we can all three get together and get the work done on the whole stretch.”

Hill said Algona’s first choice would be for the road to revert to the county. “...but the county won’t take it, unless we rebuild it completely before we give it to them,” Hill said.

“We’d be happy to sponsor Pacific taking the road, but I don’t think they are in any position financially to take it either. You’re talking in the millions to rebuild it.”

Hill added that he’d be more than happy, however, to work with Pacific and King County on a solution.

“We’d be happy to cooperate with them anyway we can if they can find some funding,” Hill said.

“We’re in talks with King County on a regular basis. They’re concerned because the hillside is still moving, and we’re very worried about an Oso-type event. And that would be very bad.”

Prosecutors say Chase, a Lakewood resident, was the shooter. He is also charged with second-degree assault.

Both suspects are to be arraigned are at 9 a.m. May 22 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Chase is in jail on $2 million bail, and Johnson on $100,000 bail.

Here is what happened, according to the Auburn Police affidavit of probable cause, which is mostly based on what Johnson told police.

According to the affidavit, Johnson said she had met Chase only that morning through a friend. She told police Chase had asked her to help him buy an ounce of methamphetamine from Villamor, whom he knew.

According to the affidavit, however, further investigation showed that Johnson had had prior contacts with Chase about methamphetamine use.

www.auburn-reporter.com Chase in the parking lot, and as she closed in on him, he, Chase, standing near the front driver side of the vehicle, turned and fired at least two rounds at her. At least one of the rounds entered the left side of her neck and exited out the right side.

According to the affidavit, Chase and Johnson tried to flee, but police caught up with them several blocks away.

During a second interview with Johnson, she allegedly admitted that she had taken Villamor’s purse, run off with it and rifled it for methamphetamines and money before throwing it away one block from the shooting scene.

Also, according to the affidavit, Johnson and Villamor knew each other. According to the affidavit, several years earlier Villamor had a romantic interest with Johnson’s wife when all three were jailed together.

Chase’s criminal history includes convictions for possession of stolen property, vehicle theft, controlled substances, custodial assault and possession of a stolen vehicle.

According to the affidavit, Chase had arranged to have Villamor meet him in a vehicle in the parking lot near Eagle Leather in the 1400 block of Auburn Way South.

According to the affidavit, when Villamor met with Chase and Johnson at 9:40 a.m., Villamor asked Chase, then sitting in the front seat on the passenger’s side, to show her the money. At that point, according to the affidavit, Chase whipped out a handgun and demanded that Villamor give him the drug.

When Villamor refused, according to the affidavit, Chase shot at least two rounds into the floor and began pistol whipping her in the face.

During the struggle, according to the affidavit, Johnson jumped from the car and began to run as Chase grabbed the woman’s purse and began to leave the vehicle.

According to the affidavit, Villamor then drove toward

Richard knew a lot of people. The Gate was not his only hang out, nor were we who knew him there his only friends. He was a community man, and he belonged to the community.

More help, concerns for my native country In reference to the story, “Couple trying to make a difference in typhoon-tattered Philippines” (Auburn Reporter, May 2), I think that’s commendable of the Verzosa couple, Therese and Jude.

This typhoon, named Haiyan, was indeed a terrifying storm that left mayhem and destruction and death to thousands of people. It left on its wake millions of people helpless and homeless and thousands of children, diseaseridden.

And it has put the Philippines on the map because of this never-before-seen destruction in any country, much worse than that Hurricane Katrina when it slammed New Orleans in August 2005, or perhaps even worse than the tsunami that slammed Japan in March 2011.

Mother Nature can be so mean and spiteful.

How we became the ‘Princess and the Pea’ Let’s face it. We’re spoiled.

into a hot shower, get dressed and grab a cup of fresh brewed coffee before heading to work in our car or on the bus. On the way home, we stop at the grocery store to pick up a few items from the 40,000 choices offered there.

But where is that money now?

Did the money go to the victims? Or did it go into the pockets of crooks and thieves of the President Aquino government?

It seems like it. Because nothing much had been achieved in helping the victims. Many are still homeless and the destruction are still prevalent.

[ BRUNELL from page 5 ] But consider: The paper you’re reading was produced and transported using fossil fuel. Same goes for the clothes you’re wearing and the chair you’re sitting in, your food, your car, your house and your workplace. Look around you.

So, when government officials or the Sierra Club talk about eliminating fossil fuel, we should understand what that means.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than 90 percent of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels and nuclear power (another energy source the Sierra Club wants to eliminate – and they’re not crazy about hydropower either, which produces most of our electricity in Washington).

If we eliminate those energy sources, how will the Princess and the Pea fare without all her creature comforts? How will we?

And from what I heard and understand, the canned foods and relief goods meant for the victims have ended up being sold in flea markets, known as “ukay-ukay” stores in the Philippines.

These kind of things usually happen whenever calamities befell this native country of mine. The rich politicians become richer, and the calamity victims remain victims, homeless and hungry. So sad.

During power outages, newscasts are filled with images of miserable families huddled in cold dark houses. We think it’s terrible to live that way for a few days. Are we willing to live that way permanently?

It would be nice if solar and wind power could fill the gap but they can’t – and never will.

People who live a subsistence lifestyle have a very different view of fossil fuels.

The National Geographic series “Life Below Zero” follows several people who live near the Arctic Circle in Alaska. Some are 100 miles from the nearest town; no roads, no convenience stores, no Home Depot.

They haul water from a stream and heat with wood; they fish, trap and hunt for food.

But even so, their lives depend on fossil fuel.

They cook with wood – sometimes propane – and use gas to run their snowmobiles and the generators that power their lights

My point is this: because we have so much, we think little about it. Because we don’t realize how much we depend on fossil fuel, we imagine we can do without it.

Before we embrace public policies and campaigns that will eliminate 90 percent of our energy, perhaps we should spend a week living “Life Below Zero” to see how we like it. Hopefully, then we can focus on how to apply our knowledge and technology to use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently.

Pacific City Council appoints Garberding to fill vacancy

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The Pacific City Council voted unanimously on Monday to appoint Katie Garberding to the vacant Position No. 1 seat.

The appointment to the council is the second for Garberding, who was previously appointed to fill Mayor Leanne Guier’s vacant seat last August. Garberding served until Dec. 31.

Garberding, who works for an accounting firm in Bellevue, has been a Pacific resident since 2009.

“Having previously been ap-

[ SENTENCING from page 1 ] to the court, prosecuting attorney Amy Freedheim earlier noted that Gonzalez was only six months out of prison on a serious assault charge when he killed Love.

“His driving was egregious,” Freedheim said, describing the collision that City of Auburn cameras captured from beginning to end.

“His driving was at freeway speeds. A police officer had just cleared the intersection and looked to his left and saw the defendant traveling toward the intersection, and looked in his rearview mirror … and knew what was happening,” Freedheim said.

“The second car through the intersection on a solid red light was a taxi driven by 56-year-old Brian Love.

Mr. Love had no chance at all. He entered the intersection, and the defendant’s

car – no braking, no evasive action – plowed into the driver’s side of the car,” Freedheim said.

The van smashed into the taxi with such force, Freedheim said, it killed Love on impact and pushed his mangled cab east through the intersection.

The van itself rolled several times before coming to a stop upside down in the intersection.

Gonzalez ran off, not only without checking on Love but also leaving his own girlfriend trapped in the overturned van. Minutes later, officers caught up to Gonzalez at South Division Street.

“His first reaction was to say he’d been running from a bad drug deal, not ‘how is the victim?’ not ‘how is Latasha in my car?’ It was, ‘I was running from a drug deal,’” Freedheim said.

According to court records, Gonzalez had a

blood-alcohol level of .12 at the time of the accident, above Washington State’s .08 percent legal limit.

In June 2012, the state Legislature created a new law making vehicular homicide under the DUI prong equal to first-degree manslaughter, Freedheim said, arguing for a stiff sentence.

“It recognizes that nobody in the 21st century … gets into their car impaired and doesn’t know” that he or she could kill or injure,” Freedheim said.

In pleading for leniency, Gonzalez’s attorney, Gordon Hill, described his client’s troubled youth, the fetal alcohol syndrome from which he suffers, and the time he’d spent in custody.

Love’s sister, Karen LoveBrunheimer Brius, who came from Michigan to talk about her brother, described through tears what his death means to her.

“Both our parents are gone, and now my only immediate, surviving family member is also gone. Brian had no children. I have none, I have my husband

did something other than sitting on the sidelines. I just learned to become a voice in the community.”

Garberding said she intends to continue to be that voice.

“There are many issues facing the city, and I look forward to any suggestions and/or ideas from residents and business owners,” Garberding said. “We all have a stake in decisions made at the dais. With community input and support, we all can take part in improving the city that we have made our home.

“I also encourage the com-

and that is it. I am alone now,” Brius said. “I ask that you give the maximum sentence allowed, Brian was a good man, a kind soul, and a decent human being who cared for others before himself.”

In his address to the court, Gonzalez could not escape a terrible irony: that Love, a generous man known for giving taxi rides to alcoholically-impaired people, should lose his life at the careless hands of a drunken driver.

“I have learned that he was there for people who were impaired, such as myself,” Gonzalez said. …

“I can only apologize and ask for forgiveness.”

The sentence recognized that Gonzalez was a convicted felon who spent 10 years in prison for second-degree assault and first-degree kidnapping.

Gonzalez must obtain a substance abuse evaluation with followup treatment, attend a DUI victim’s panel and comply with ignition interlock requirements.

Auburn bookstore helps turn pages for Northwest authors

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It is 1901, and those great pioneers of electrical invention, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, are still walking about.

In that time and place, when the harnessed use of electricity is so new and exciting, a fellow named Benjamin Bradshaw teaches electrical engineering at the University of Washington.

After being wrongly implicated in a murder-by-electrocution case, the professor develops a side interest sleuthing fatal electrical mishaps.

Whenever electricity kills a person, Bradshaw is the guy police turn to to puzzle out that old conundrum: accident or foul play.

Such is the premise on which Pacific Northwest author Bernadette Pajer has built “The Professor Bradshaw Mystery Series”, an intriguing world of who-dun-its that interweaves the actual history of the UW with electrical invention and the Pacific Northwest.

At the center is Professor Bradley, a recent widower with an 8-year-old son, a crotchety live-in housekeeper – whom he adores – and a bicycle he pedals everywhere from his home on Capitol Hill.

“They’re sort of fast-paced, traditional, who-dun-its,” Pajer said of her books. “There’s no graphic language, no sex and no violence. The stories are very character driven. You learn through the series about some personal baggage Bradshaw brings with him. But the character develops this interest, he finds he enjoys it, and that really surprises him.

“He’s fictional,” Pajer added, “but I try to get all my facts straight. I love to do research.”

Pajer was in Auburn recently, signing copies of her books at Finally Found Books. Once a month, the store, its newsletter and its Facebook Page feature a PNW author.

Pajer grew up near the city of Burien, attended St. Bernadette’s Grade School there and later studied at the UW. She was 20 when she married

The couple later moved to the East Coast for several years before making the return trip to Washington State.

Of note – her husband works for the Snohomish County PUD. “So, I’m married to a lineman,” Pajer said with a laugh. “A lot of people wonder, does that have anything to do with why I have an electrical engineer as my sleuth? At one time I didn’t think so, but you know, there’s got to be something behind the fact that I’ve been married 30 years to somebody who works daily with electricity.”

Pajer describes herself as “a born daydreamer and story teller.”

“I often miss details of the real world because my brain goes off and starts making up little stories. But I didn’t actually start writing until right before we left Orcas Island. I wrote my first manuscript. It was a romance. I didn’t sell it, but I got an agent from

Auburn gears up for Relay for Life STAFF REPORTS

Auburn’s Relay for Life starts at 6 p.m.

Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium and ends on the following afternoon.

At Relay For Life events like Auburn’s, communities across the world come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight a disease that has already taken too much and too many.

Relay For Life teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long.

In more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries, Relay For Life events comprise the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Each Relay For Life event is special to its community, but the movement’s true power lies in the combined commitment of thousands of participants, volunteers, and supporters to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer Every year, the movement raises more than $400 million.

that one. That begin my writing journey, all those many years ago.

And no, we’re not going to add up the decades! “ Pajer soon put herself on a onebook-a-year schedule – and learned to write by writing.

“I think it was a great way to do it,” she said. “And after I’d written many manuscripts – we were back in Washington State by then – I took a course at the UW for the Creative Writing Certificate. It was fabulous. There I’d be, and all these other writers who had written but never completed a manuscript were taking notes, saying, ‘OK, OK, I think that makes sense.’

And I ‘m sitting there going, oh yeah, all of that is so true. I knew it because I’d learned it the hard way. Then the teacher put everything down in little writing nuggets I could revisit, which was also fabulous because you have to keep relearning the same things.”

She described some of the choicest lessons.

“I think one of the early things was probably the power of leaving things out of your story, of not overwriting.

You leave room for the reader to feel the emotion without telling them the emotion that the character is feeling. The readers actively participate because, when you allow them to provide the thoughts and the questions, they say, ‘Oh, I bet I know how he’s feeling,’ or ‘No, don’t go down that hall!’ You let them provide the thoughts and questions. It’s something that I evolved into a workshop I teach called Trigger Writing. The idea is that you, as the writer, don’t have to write the whole story.”

On Saturday, June 21, Finally Found Books brings in a writing team that goes by the pen name Waverly Curtis, actually Waverly Fitzgerald and Curtis Colbert.

“They’re not a couple, they just write together and swap chapters. He does one, she does one and they play off one another. Their stories are based on this dog Pepe, a Chihuahua,” said store owner Todd Hulbert.

Faith lifts Seahawks’ Gresham to greater heights

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Football is a snap to Clint Gresham. Overcoming doubt takes time.

Blessed with the gift of handling a specialized job in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks’ long snapper admits he struggled with some uncertainties early on in his career. That was until he found peace and solidified his faith.

Gresham, a Christian leader and Super Bowl XLVIII champion, follows Xs and Os during the season, but his preferred playbook is the Bible.

Here’s why: “I struggled with a lot of insecurity as a young person, and I really carried that into my walk with God,” Gresham told the audience at Calvary Chapel South in Kent last Saturday night. “I brought this insecurity and this lack of understanding of who I was in Christ, (not only) into my relationship with God but into my career on the football field. Because I had this insecurity and this doubt, I struggled with the fear of man. “(But) if you believe about yourself (the way) Jesus believes about you, you will be unstoppable in every single area of your

life,” he said. “Jesus thinks awesome things about you. That’s just the truth, man.”

Gresham said his renewed commitment to Christ has brought better, brighter days. He brings that passionate message home to others in his travels as an inspirational speaker.

Kent was the latest stop, an opportunity for Gresham to tell his story, “The Making of a Champion,” replete with oratory, amusing anecdotes and a short film starring teammates and coaches.

A gentle giant, the 27-year-old Gresham performs ministry during the offseason, including summer camps for kids. He lives on Mercer Island, where he shares his home with five other leaders of Young Life, an outreach ministry that serves youth.

During the season, Gresham leads the Seahawks Bible study groups.

Speaking engagements are just an extension of Gresham’s faith-filled calling, a belief deeply rooted with family in Texas.

Given his size and temperament, athletics, notably football, came naturally to Gresham.

The New Orleans Saints took a chance, signing the un-drafted free agent out of Texas Christian

The Seahawks’ Clint Gresham speaks to the audience at the Calvary Chapel South in Kent last Saturday. Gresham explained how important faith and family is to him as he builds his NFL career. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter University in 2010. But the Saints soon waived him, and the Seahawks, well, snapped him up.

Gresham handles an anonymous but critical job – repeatedly making accurate snaps to the punter positioned 15 yards back from the line of scrimmage. He also triggers the ball back to the placeholder on critical field goals and extra-point conversions.

It’s a repetitious role that has little room for error.

Gresham typically makes an

average of eight snaps a game, but practices the motion throughout the game along the sideline. All told, Gresham estimates he takes about 200 snaps on game day.

At first, the job came with some occupational hazards. The long snapper was prone to punishment as soon as he released the snap on kicks.

“My first year, I got clobbered every single game because I was so vulnerable. I’m already the smallest guy on the line,” said the

6-foot-3, 240-pound Gresham, who often struggles to maintain his weight. “When I get down, I have my head between my legs and I’m trying to make sure that I get the ball back in the right spot.

And, as soon as I moved the ball, I’ve got this 390-pound dude just undercutting me.”

But new rules today protect the center on kicks.

“You can’t do that anymore.

Praise the Lord,” a grinning Gresham said of the immediate blows he absorbed on kicks.

Gresham hopes to hold onto his job for as long as he can. Efficient long snappers are hard to find, and when they blossom and stay healthy, they usually stick around the NFL for many years. Just ask Trey Junkin, who played 19 seasons in the NFL with six different teams, including the Seahawks.

Gresham said he is comfortable with his life, his career and his faith. It’s also great to be a part of a wonderful group of teammates who accomplished something special last season.

“The idea of winning a Super Bowl is so crazy,” Gresham said.

“To think that we were the first to actually do that in Seahawks history is pretty amazing. It’s so cool.”

...HEALTHY LIVING

Toothbrushes: A history Toothbrushes are one of those modern conveniences that we take for granted.

Today they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, bristle designs, colors and modes of power.

The predecessor of the toothbrush was a simple twig that had been chewed on to fray the plant fibers into a kind of brush.

It first appeared in ancient Egypt and Babylonia as far back as 3000 B.C. There are still some people that use this type of tooth cleaning aid today in the rural parts of the southern United States.

When I served as a volunteer dentist in Kenya several summers ago, that is what I commonly saw being used by the local people there.

Most had never seen the modern toothbrushes we were handing out.

By 1000 A.D, the Chinese were making toothbrush handles out of bamboo or bone with boar’s hair bristles. The first mass produced toothbrushes did not appear until the late 1700s in England, and it took another hundred years for mass production of these now common health aids to make it to the United States.

In fact, the practice of brushing your teeth daily was not common in the United States until after World War II. Soldiers returning from the war brought the daily practice, required of them as part of their overall health regimen, home to their families. As a result, the number of decayed and missing teeth in the general population has decreased significantly since that time.

Leaving food particles lodged on and in between your teeth is not a good idea. It feeds the sticky

DENTAL HEALTH

bacterial plaque that causes tooth decay, called strep mutans, causing them to reproduce and give off acidic waste. The acid erodes the hard enamel coating of your teeth.

Other acidic foods and beverages also greatly contribute to the acid attack in your mouth.

Some of the worst offenders are soft drinks, even the diet variety.

Energy drinks can be even worse for your teeth, as they are often very acidic.

Sour candies and even seemingly healthy things like juice and red wine are all acidic, too, so be conservative in how often you introduce those into your diet.

Sodas soil teeth Multiple soft drinks per day is an almost certain way to end up with a diagnosis of multiple decayed teeth at your next dental visit.

If you are going to enjoy those things, remember to at least rinse your mouth with water afterward, and consider using a stronger fluoride toothpaste than the ones you get from the grocery store. Your dentist can write you a prescription, and some even have it in their offices for your convenient purchase after your visit. Prevident 5000 is an example of this prescription strength toothpaste.

There are also prescription fluoride rinses and gels, which are wise investments if you are having issues with tooth decay or sensitivity due to the acidity of your diet.

Flossing is also critical, as the most common type of cavity I see in adults in my practice is in between the teeth, where a toothbrush can’t reach. On back teeth,

you miss almost 40 percent of the surfaces if you just use a brush alone.

The first electric toothbrush was invented in Switzerland in the 1950s, and one of the most popular and effective electric brushes today, the Sonicare, was invented right here in the Seattle area.

Most studies show that more plaque is removed with an electric brush than a manual one. The latest Sonicare oscillates at 31,000 brush strokes per minute and is demonstrated to be several times more effective than a manual toothbrush, so it’s worth the investment, as it costs much less than it does to repair a cavity.

In 2003, the humble toothbrush was selected in a survey of U.S. Americans as the No. 1 invention they could not live without.

While today they might choose their cell phone, I’ll bet that the toothbrush still ranks high as something most people would not want to give up.

Colburn’s steady leadership, play guide Lions

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Ravens beat Conks 3-2 in extra-innings REPORTER STAFF

Delene Colburn is rock solid.

On the softball field and in the dugout the Auburn Mountainview senior’s playing and leadership skills are such stuff as programs are made on.

Next season Colburn, a threetime all-league selection at infield and pitcher, will be among six players signed to begin the University of Montana fastpitch program.

According to Lions coach Alicia Thompson, it’s a role Colburn is already familiar with.

“She’s just been part of the foundation of the program,” Thompson said. “In reality, it’s our eighth year of the program, and she’s been there for half of them. This is what she’s built. It’s a great legacy she leaves behind.

“She has amazing, competitive drive, that competitive spirit that gets our team going and keeps us going,” Thompson added.

“Whether we’re down in games, up in games, she keeps the team alive in the dugout or out in the field.”

Colburn began playing at age 5, following the footsteps of older sister Deanna, who was a standout softball player at Auburn Mountainview.

“We actually played together a couple of times, but not in high school,” Colburn said.

Marsden throws gem to beat Prairie 8-4 REPORTER STAFF

Colburn parlayed her Little League experience into a standout club career, most recently with the Washington Ladyhawks Gold team.

By the time she turned out for the Auburn Mountainview program as a freshman, Colburn was already a highly-touted infielder.

Circumstance intervened,

Junior Justin Marsden’s two-hitter complete game on the hill keyed Auburn Mountainview’s 8-4 victory over Prairie Tuesday in a loser-out, first round game in the West Central District III/Southwest District 4 3A baseball tournament.

Marsden finished the game with 7 innings of work, with 11 strikeouts, two walks and four unearned runs.

“Justin was exceptional on Tuesday night,” Lion coach Glen Walker said. “He pounded the zone right from the first pitch of the game and was cruising into the seventh inning with a 2 hit, 69 pitch outing. His fastball was electric, and his breaking ball kept the Prairie hitters off balance and at times even made them buckle in their stance. Justin pitched like he is capable of pitching last night.”

“I was a natural leader right away, so that kind of helped develop my attitude toward the sport right away,” Colburn said.

When she was just 9, Colburn played in her first softball all-star game for Auburn Little League after setting her sights on a collegiate career.

Funny Car fever

The Vibrance and Hart Breaker Funny Cars, top photo, square off at last Saturday’s Northwest BB Funny Car Association points race at Pacific Raceways in Kent. The association opened up its season with a nine-car showcase. In the final, reigning points champion driver Kim Parker – driving the Hell On Wheels car – posted a 6.79-second, 203.65-miles-per-hour quarter-mile run to edge Matt Driscoll, who posted a 6.61 at 213.20 mph in the Wildside car. Association race drivers strive to get as close to a 6.75 time on the strip, with the winner being the car and driver closest to that time. Founded in 2008, the association races throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Canada.

however, and she was asked to shoulder the pitching load for the Lions.

“I started at shortstop then I moved to pitcher because we needed a pitcher in high school,” Colburn said. “My best positions are second or third, though.”

“She’s made the sacrifice to throw for us,” Thompson said.” It may not be the No. 1 thing she wants to do, but she never complains, just gets up there and throws her heart out.”

Colburn said that, although she was happy to help the team any way she could, assuming the No. 1 pitcher role was difficult.

“You have to just suck it up,” she said. “But it builds character, I guess.”

And for Colburn, it’s built character as sturdy as a brick house, Thompson said.

“Her maturity this year has been huge, where she’s

er Skyler Erban advanced Hettinger and Galeno to third and second base, respectively, setting the stage for junior shortstop Aaron Nguyen, whose hit to the shortstop was misplayed, earning an error and a run.

Auburn Riverside took at 3-1 lead in the inning with Byran Darby bringing in Galeno on a squeeze play.

The Conquerors (14-6) responded offensively in their half of the inning, drawing a pair of walks, followed by a fly out to centerfield and a strikout by winning pitcher Brady Cummings.

With two-outs, Cummings walked the next batter to load the bases for Kentwood.

Conks pinch-hitter Shane McGuire responded with an

RBI base hit to left, scoring the player on third base and sending the player on second home for the tie.

Leftfielder Hettinger responded with a bullet to home to beat the runner and secure the win.

The win earned the Ravens a loser-out contest on Wednesday against Tahoma (15-6).

Junior Mason Cerillo chipped in with 3-for-2 hitting with two runs scored and a double.

Junior Mason Cerillo chipped in with 3-for-2 hitting with two runs scored and a double and junior Josh Swanson had a double and two RBIs. Senior Tyler Friis addded

a double and Marsden and junior Hudson Byorick added an RBI apiece.

The win earned the defending state 3A champion Lions a second-round district contest this past Wednesday against No. 6-ranked Timberline (20-2), with results unavailable at press time.

A win over Timberline

keeps Auburn Mountainview in the hunt for the district title, with a 10 a.m. Saturday game against the winner of the Mountainview versus Bonney Lake (14-8) game.

A loss and Auburn Mountainview will have to win two loser-out games in the consolation brackets to earn a return ticket to state.

come since she was a freshman to senior year,” Thompson said. “She’s just really supportive of the freshman, the JV program and my sophomores and juniors.

She’s really encouraging and not the snotty senior who is above everyone. I’m really impressed by how she welcomes everybody in and wants them to improve.”

Colburn agreed: “I’m more vocal, but with a positive attitude towards the girls,” she said.

“I encourage them to come out and work hard and do their best. That’s what I see my role as. My dad (Lions assistant coach Ken Colburn) always said to be positive toward others.

This year, the goal is go to further.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
