RALLYING TO SAVE PUBLIC HEALTH BY ROBERT WHALE

If it should happen, said Nadia Bucio, she and other women like her will lose something vital. That dire possibility put Bucio, a mother of four in her mid-30s, out on a sidewalk in the stifling heat of an early August afternoon alongside dozens of other sign

wavers and petition gatherers last Friday, protesting against the potential closure of the King County Public Health Center in Auburn. “I’m out here because they are talking about closing the clinic,” Bucio said, on a patch of green under a tree outside the clinic at 901 Auburn Way North, trying to make her voice heard above the passing cars honking horns

in support. “It’s going to affect a lot of us.” Bucio relies on the services the Auburn clinic offers, such as family planning, the maternity support services program – is a home-visiting and clinic-based program that gives pregnant women and mothers

That if you have a staff of two doing certain things who have to drive across town to pick the carts up and drop them off before continuing to the work they had been doing, 45 minutes could pass,” Bailey said. “Since we are going to do away with billing for shopping carts,” Councilmember Wayne Osborne said Monday, “will we still have the cost of picking them up and taking them back?” “We’re looking at something else,” City Finance Director Shelley Coleman said, without elaborating.

Fire & Rescue Blotter The Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 215 calls for service between Aug. 4 and 10, among them the following:

Aug. 4 Aid call: 10:30 a.m., (Pacific). A woman was suffering from minor, post-surgery bleeding when firefighters arrived at her home to evaluate her. Ultimately, firefighters decided to leave her at home.

Aug. 5 Car fire: 9 p.m., (Auburn). Firefighters hustling to a car fire in the parking lot of a local business found flames in its engine compartment. The crew quickly extinguished the fire, saving the passenger compartment.

Hills). A woman was suffering severe back pain when firefighters arrived to help her. Later, a private ambulance motored her to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center.

Aug. 9 Service call: 8:21 a.m., (Lea Hill). While firefighters were investigating a column of smoke along the Green River, the column cleared.

Crews removing double white line along Highway 167 toll lanes REPORTER STAFF

Crews started work last Sunday to remove the double white line for easier access to the high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes along Highway 167 through Kent, Auburn and Renton. The state Department of Transportation (DOT) will change the double white stripes to one white stripe to allow drivers easier access to move in and out of the HOT lanes where they want rather than the limited access

and exit points with the two stripes. The highway features a single toll lane for about 10 miles northbound and southbound between Renton and Auburn. Drivers will see just one stripe and be able to enter and exit the HOT lanes nearly anywhere along the corridor, according to a state DOT media release. The HOT lanes will still be open to solo drivers with a Good To Go! pass and free to carpools, transit, vanpools and motorcycles.

Crews began at the south end of the northbound lanes in Auburn and will work their way north. Once the northbound work is complete, crews will switch over to the north end of the southbound lanes in Renton and work their way south. Construction is scheduled Sunday through Thursday nights, with striping scheduled this week and sign removal and installation on Aug. 17-21. A federal grant of

$520,000 is paying for the redesign. A University of Washington study for the state showed people violated crossing the double stripes to get into the lane because of traffic congestion. Drivers had to wait for gaps in traffic and access points were not convenient to reach exits. Double stripes will be kept in certain areas to prevent heavy weaving and at the ends of the systems so drivers don’t cut late into the HOT lanes.

I have officially become a fogey. How and when I slipped down that slope is a conundrum to me, but all the young reporters working for me have confirmed my fogeyness. I have hired young, talented and very smart reporters at the Courier-Herald and Covington Reporter. What was I thinking? I’m dumb and I hire brainy (palm hits my forehead). My drooling slide into ol’ fogeydom was gleefully pointed out to me last week when I told Mr. Ray Still (the new reporter in Bonney Lake) and Sarah Wehmann I planned to shoot a haying season shot for the front. I immediately began to think back to happy hay days on my family farm. Haying season was the hot time in the old town when I was young. I thought they would all be waiting on the edges of their chairs to hear my haying season tales of adventure. What follows is an accurate rendition of the dialogue between Sarah and I (with Ray secretly rooting her on) that has been carefully crosschecked with my imaginary friend (who always agrees with me). Sarah: “Is that a word?” Me: “Is what a word?” Sarah: “Hay … ing?” Me: “Haying? Sarah: “Did you make that up?” Me: “No I didn’t make it up. (My most haughty voice) Do you know when I was a kid, we never went to school in June because that was the beginning of haying season?” Sarah: “What is it?” Smash my forehead on my desk … twice. Me: “You know hay … haying … in bales … throw them around … get all sticky and itchy… look cool like that black and white movie where pretty girls sing songs and dance around with bouncy dresses and always want to kiss the guy who throws bales around and is sticky and itchy.” I got blank stares and sympathetic nods [ more BOX page 6 ]

Let’s put our energy behind a friendly planet I found Mr. Holgate’s response (“Clean energy, at what costs to us?”, Aug. 1, Auburn Reporter) concerning Mr. Gunn’s article very intriguing. He starts out mentioning how environmentalists and other groups twist and contort the information to get the results they want. He proceeds to do what he accuses others of doing. Hypocrisy at its best I don’t recall anyone ever saying that to power our TVs, smartphones, computers and iPads, to heat our water and to travel in cars or plane that fossil fuels are our only choice. Mr. Holgate seems to believe that without fossil fuels, we would be living in the Stone Age. A good portion of our energy comes from other sources that are not fossil fuels (hydroelectric power and wind energy).

oil companies like ExxonMobil, Shell or British Petroleum are all about making profits. They sell to the highest bidder, which right now is communist China. The demand for oil in this country is actually decreasing because we as a country and a state are exploring other means of generating energy that is not fossil fuel. As far as the Keystone XL Pipeline, it is not finished. The portion over the Midwest and over its major water source, the Ogallala Aquifer, still has not been built. It is a long way from being finished. Which brings me to the jobs part of his letter.

[ STODDERT from page 5 ] Sang Wynn, a Vietnamese veteran, spoke of his time in concentration camps. Though it was to re-educate him to the politically correct thinking of the Hanoi government, it was really punishment for having served his government and his community. Anthony Ton shared his experiences of separation from his family for 18 years because he was a pilot in the Air Force. A Vietnamese woman born in this country summarized it all. She once visited her relatives in Vietnam. She was aghast to learn her cousin never finished high school, she was expected to just marry and have children. A career or profession was not a choice given to her by the government. This AmericanVietnamese woman excitedly expressed

her joy for the simple freedoms taken for granted here. The last American speaker expressed his feelings that this country has much to learn from the Vietnamese community: they have come here legally, with nothing, prospered, and many have added to this country such as Nghia Do who earned a masters degree in Business and then worked for the University of Washington. The Vietnamese have never demanded benefits or cried “victim.” The average Vietnam veteran puts it this way: “We were sent, we did our job, we put up, we came home and put up, and it still continues with the ignorance of the real events. We never hurt innocent people, nor did the South Vietnamese forces fail to back up my unit in the A Shau Valley.”

For the Vietnamese, it was to share their side of the experiences we all held in common. They spoke openly of the dangers from a government that placed ideology before people. We must be vigilant that the United States never comes under the “political correctness” of a few. The Joint American-Vietnamese War Memorial Alliance would like to extend its gratitude to Holy Family Church, Lewis, Deputy Mayor Rich Wagner, Washington State Director of Veteran Affairs Lourdes E.

PRIMARY ELECTION

Roach, Dahlquist to square off BY DENNIS BOX dbox@covingtonreporter.com

The Aug. 5 primary narrowed the field of prospective political candidates in the 31st District and set up the high-noon showdown in the race for the district’s seat in the Senate. The intra-party primary clash between Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, and Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, R-Enumclaw, drew plenty of smoke and fire, and both will be on the November ballot. As of Tuesday, Roach was maintaining a narrow 281vote lead over Dahlquist, according to the Secretary of State’s website. Roach had a 156-vote margin on election night. In the weeks leading up the primary, Roach faced a series of newspaper reports from The Courier-Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and Seattle Times concerning some of her Senate expense reports payments over the past six years. Roach, who is seeking a seventh term in the

The senator repeatedly said the accuracy of her expense reports were not her responsibility, but the responsibility of the Senate administration. During the weeks leading up to the primary and after the expense reports stories broke in the media, Roach sent an email to The Enumclaw Courier-Herald stating she delivered a letter to the Public Disclosure Commission alleging Dahlquist violated campaign finance rules. The accuracy or validity of this allegation has

another would ban outright any marijuana businesses in the city. According to Guier — as mayor, she may advise but cannot vote on the ordinances — she is leaning towards the outright ban. “I don’t want it, none of it,” Guier said. “I cannot see one benefit it brings to the City. It brings no revenue to the City. I can only see the negativity it brings to the City.” Additionally, Guier said, she’s concerned that a possible influx of marijuana businesses would change the flavor of the community. “I think it just comes back to the unknowns and what is our vision for the future of Pacific,” Guier said. “For me, it’s this sleepy little community that people go to to get away from the big city atmosphere, where they go home and have a nice, quiet little community to raise their children. “The only people I’ve had tell me they think it should be in Pacific have a vested interest, like a business or a grow,” Guier said. “What I’m hearing from the community is ‘no, we don’t want it.’”

It is now labeled as a purple district, meaning that it is pretty evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. This year Ritchie has a good chance running a successful campaign against Reichert and his less-than-impressive congressional record/waning support among independents. This is an extremely winnable district for Democrats and with the growing urban areas, will yield a Democratic congressmen eventually.

Pacific residents will get another chance to voice their opinions about the future of marijuana business in the city Sept. 9 at a public hearing before the City Council. “My goal is to get as much public input [as possible], as many people letting the council know how they feel before they make any decision,” said Pacific Mayor Leanne Guier. At the regularly scheduled meeting after the hearing, the council expects to decide whether to establish another moratorium banning any marijuana businesses, recreational or medical, for an additional six months. The moratorium, which would last until the end of the year, would buy Pacific’s council more time to decide which of four ordinances to pass. The City’s planning commission is reviewing four ordinances that would regulate recreational and medical growing, processing and retailing operations. One would ban medical marijuana in the city, and

the support they need to have healthy babies – and WIC, a supplemental food program for women, infants and children. “I get WIC for my kids. I have a 3-year old, and I also come to family planning. It is very important,” Bucio said. It is, say county officials, but the problem is that financial support for public health services has been petering out for the last 10 years. And now, given an annual $15 million shortfall, they say they may have to close clinics in Auburn, Federal Way, Bothell and White Center. Although King County has not made any final decisions, its proposal calls for shifting services onto the shoulders of community organizations as they make reductions to services that have suffered cuts in federal and state funds. Hannah Welander, a former public health nurse and a nurse representative, was one of the organizers of last week’s protest. “King County Health Department has constantly had budget

motor vehicle excise tax that ended when Tim Eyman’s initiative went through, and the Public Health Department really hasn’t gone after cities to help support them, and we’ve encouraged them to do so. Our hope is that they will now start doing that, and I believe that is in process,” Welander said. “More than 10,000 families receive services at the Auburn clinic every year, so we feel that this is going to be a huge loss already. Many people that walked by here today said, ‘Yeah, I was on WIC’, my boy was on WIC, moms, dads, everybody. So we think that over 50,000 people will lose services if all of those clinics get shut down, and that’s too much. “…They might have to go to Kent, if Kent stays open. But we don’t know what next year will bring. It’s been slowly eroding and eroding and eroding. We used to have a lot of visiting home health nurses, and now they’ve been eroded away, too,” Welander said. According to a county press release, ever since voters repealed the major source of

www.auburn-reporter.com funding for Public Health 14 years ago, and a voter-approved cap on property taxes restricted the remaining source of local, flexible funding, finances for Public Health—Seattle & King County have been precarious, County officials say they had been able to patch the gap in recent years by “creating efficiencies, spending one-time reserves, securing outside grants and special funding, and reducing staff – including a major round of layoffs in 2009.” Now, however, they say, reductions to federal payments for administering Medicaid and other cuts, have them up against the wall. “We’ve run out of rabbits we can pull from our hat,” said Dr. David Fleming, director and Health Officer for Public Health—Seattle & King County. “To operate with a balanced budget, we may be compelled to reduce staffing and services.” If the King County Council adopts the reductions in November, those six centers could feel the blow. more story online… auburn-reporter.com

To me, it’s a natural. The public wants to donate, they want to support a lot of people who like to volunteer for the organization but they don’t like to volunteer at the shelter because puppies and kitties make them sad.

shelter on A Street can do more for the creatures under its wing and for longer hours each day. “If it’s a success, it will allow us to expand our revenue and our hours,” Morgan said. “That means I’ll need another body because payroll is expensive. We’d like to expand to seven days a week at the shelter. We would like to launch a pets’ domestic violence program and a humane education program. Both of those involve payroll and costs. With such a tight budget, I can’t expand into those other areas without increased revenue some place.” If the store can generate about $250,000 to $300,000 a year, Morgan said, it should allow the addition of the two programs. The AVHS shelter has financially has reached its limits: it cannot do any more adoptions; it cannot do any more returns to owners, Morgan said. “So we are going to focus on animal licensing this year, and we are going to look at how we can help the City increase licensing. Our organization gets to keep all the licensing revenues the City generates. The City pays us $241,000 and change every year to house its lost animals.

tackle records, and they’re still intact. I had 578 total tackles for a year, 219 in one season, 29 in two games, and the most solo tackles, 20, twice in a game. Just a little bit of bragging,” Jackson said with a chuckle. In 1979, the 3-year-old Seattle Seahawks drafted him in the third round. He became a key player for coach Jack Patera and later Chuck Knox in the era of Jim Zorn, Steve Largent and Dave Brown, Dave Kreig and Sherman Smith, setting some records along the way. When his pro football career ended after the 1986 season – he took away more injuries than he could count, and has since had two knee replacements – the Kirkland resident became a part of Seattle’s corporate world, he said, going to work every day – and hating it. Seven years ago, increasingly restless in the reins, Jackson struck out in a different direction, hiring on with a non-profit, and finding, he said, “the most satisfaction I’d felt since football.” Yet soon, the old unhappiness was back.

Morgan said. Having a thrift store to raise revenue turned into a frequent topic at meetings of AVHS’ Board of Directors. “When we found out this site was available here, the board jumped on it. Everything just fit together so well, including negotiating the lease and the terms of the lease. It had to work out perfectly, or we wouldn’t have been able to do it. It’s a great location, and it’s something the community needs … We already have a good relationship with other thrift stores in town. People who go to thrift stores don’t just go to one, they do a loop, and I think we’re going to be within the loop,” Morgan said. Morgan said this particular thrift store differs from others in one important respect. “Others are just all thrift store, and we wanted to be a bit more than that. There’s not a lot of consignment shops in town, and I’ve got spaces you can rent, put your stuff in it. I provide you with a bar code so when your item comes up I can scan it and keep track of it, and at the end of the month I cut you a check for 70 percent of it, we keep 30 percent,” Morgan said. The assistant manager is Kelly Benson. There are four volunteers. The store’s hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. “I’d been noticing that my life had changed quite a bit, and I was thinking about what my life has meant to me and the world at large. And over the past seven years, it wasn’t very much, and I think I reached a point where I needed my life to mean something,” Jackson said. Fortunately, Jackson said, a friend told him that AYR was just at that very moment scouting for a development director. “I applied, and I think we kind of fell in love with each other,” Jackson said. “I didn’t grow up rich, and my kids didn’t grow up rich, but they grew up having an opportunity to do what they wanted to do in life. I think that the mission position of AYR matches with my mission in life: I want to see people do well. If you have the goal to do well, I think you should be given every opportunity to achieve that goal. “Catch ‘em young, if you can, And if not, I don’t think we ever give up on anybody. At AYR, we work with people from birth to 25. If you catch them at 25, great,” Jackson said.

Mercury toxicity: Are my metal fillings putting me at risk? affects the ocean and thus the sea life that call it home. If you have tried to find an old-style glass thermometer, you’ve likely found it difficult. Even some electronics, such as home thermostats and compact fluorescent light bulbs, contain small amounts of mercury. That’s why we are all encouraged to recycle those items appropriately and to keep them out of the regular trash. We don’t want the mercury from discard items ending up in the landfills, as it can eventually leach into the groundwater and contaminate our precious drinking water. I find it ironic that government agencies, like the FDA, continue to insist that metal dental filling materials that contain mercury,

A recent KING-5 HealthLink story explained how metal fillings could make you sick. We haven’t provided metal fillings in our practice for more than 12 years now. As the story explains, metal amalgam fillings contain mercury, a toxic heavy metal. Although not everyone agrees whether this is a health issue or not, it just makes sense to avoid. You have been advised for years now to not eat certain types of predator fish like tuna and swordfish more than a couple of times per week. The reason is simple: they eat other fish and thus tend to concentrate the toxins ingested by other fish in their own flesh. Mercury toxicity from various forms of pollution

are safe for human mouths. Yet, on the other hand, mercury is highly regulated by the same agencies, and it is considered toxic if it gets into the environment. What about the environment that is your mouth? As a dentist, I see patients every day who need to have old failing mercury fillings removed due to decay or fracture. In order to do that, we use lots of water and high-velocity suction to immediately rinse out the pieces of old filling and other debris as they are removed. Did you ever wonder what happens to all of that

Taking care of your skin should be a permanent part of your morning and evening routine. Here are four tips that will keep you looking healthy.

1. Cleanse: Cleansing morning and night is very important to healthy skin. Many clients ask why they have to use a cleanser in the morning when they haven’t worn makeup to bed. Your skin continues to produce oil and shed skins cells even when you are sleep. Also, many of us use anti-aging treatments at night that include acids to help with fine lines, pigmentation and skin texture. You need to remove the remnants of these products – and the oil production, dead skin and dust on our skin.

As Gill, a character in the classic Pixar movie, “Finding Nemo”, says, “All drains lead to the ocean, kid!” What you can’t see during your dental appointment is the sophisticated trap and filtering system that removes all mercury containing waste before allowing the remaining fluids to continue on down the drain. Periodically we pay to have a certified technician service the system. He removes the captured mercury debris and safely packages it for processing by a federally regulated and insured hazardous waste processor.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ STEPS from page 11 ] moisturizers for specific skin needs. I tell my acne clients that if they are skipping this step they are really doing their skin a disservice. Our skin needs moisture to keep it strong and healthy. Vitamin E, Jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid are a couple key ingredients to look for in moisturizers. 4. Protect: SPF during the day is an absolute must for healthy skin. Relying on makeup with an SPF in it is not enough. My rule is that the SPF in makeup is a perk of protection but not the only

line of defense. Use a sunscreen product under your makeup to provide the most protection. As the skincare market refines sunscreens, people with all skin types from super dry and irritated to cystic acne - can find a sunscreen that suites them. These tips should help you create a skincare routine that will benefit your skin. And if you have any specific concerns or want more information, you should make an appointment with a skincare professional.

[ DR. RICH from page 11 ] For something that is supposedly safe to use in your mouth, that’s a lot of regulation and required safety steps once it leaves your mouth. I made the decision over a decade ago to discontinue using amalgam fillings in my practice. Since I wouldn’t place mercury containing fillings in the mouths of my office team or our families, I couldn’t see offering it as an option to my patients. We use the latest generation of micro-mechanically bonded composite materials. Not only are they tooth colored, they also bond themselves to the remaining tooth structure, which adds much of the strength back to the area of the tooth that was lost when the decay was removed. That reduces the chance of a tooth frac-

turing in the future and requiring a crown. Metal fillings do have a few advantages. The materials are cheaper to purchase, easier for the dentist to place and are quite durable. However, as the filling material ages, it corrodes, like many metals. Have you ever noticed how rusty metal appears raised up or thicker than new metal? The same thing happens in your mouth. The metal expands as it corrodes. This expansion puts additional pressure on the remaining walls of your tooth. Eventually, one of those walls will fracture from the combined pressure of the expansion, as well as the heavy biting pressure we place on our back teeth. This is very similar to the metal wedge a person uses on a round log to split it into firewood-

less expensive and painful than waiting for it to actually fracture. If that happens, you’ll still need a crown and possibly even a root canal or an extraction if it breaks too severely. You wouldn’t drive on old tires until they were completely bald and went flat. Not only would it be dangerous to have a blowout at freeway speeds, it might also cause other damage to your car or involve you in an accident that would be far more costly than your tires. Don’t wait for your tooth to blow out either.

sized pieces. By hitting the metal wedge repeatedly with a sledge hammer, it is driven down into the wood, resulting in a split. If you’re lucky, it splits it completely in half. However, if it’s your tooth instead of the firewood, the results are catastrophic and the tooth must be extracted. I am not suggesting that you have all of your mercury fillings removed. If the tooth shows no signs of decay, excess corrosion or cracks, it’s probably fine to leave it alone. However, I recommend that you consider not having any more silver fillings placed, and ask your dentist to check for any fractures that may be developing on teeth with large old metal fillings. Although your dentist may recommend a crown if they find any, it’s far

They sold bottled water.” Fraser said the number of local sponsors for the event also grew, from 34 last year to 52 this year, resulting in more money raised and a bigger gift for the Auburn YMCA. “The local YMCA received a large donation from Doxon Toyota,” Fraser said. In addition to a higher turnout aiding contributions, this year’s event featured a handful of celebrities, a trend Fraser said he hopes will continue. “Aaron Brooks and Drills and Skills ran the 3-point shootout,” Fraser said. “And KJR radio did a simulcast with Jamal Crawford.

The Washington State Little League Junior Softball champion Auburn Dynamite wrapped up its season this past weekend with a 9-2 loss to the Fontana, Calif., all-stars in the West Regional Tournament in Tucson, Ariz. The Dynamite ended the double-elimination tourney in fifth-place, with the allstars from Sunnyside, Ariz., taking home first-place and a berth in the Little League Junior Softball World Series. After opening the tourney on July 31 with a 3-0 win against Fontana, Calif., the Dynamite found themselves on the losing end of a 13-1 game against the all-stars from Alaska in round two before losing to Fontana in the final game. “Finishing fifth at Western Region was no small feat,” team manager Perry Azevedo said. “Our last two losses we jumped on

Auburn’s Dennis Brooke provided a preview of the ticket for the Huskies’ Sept. 20 home game against Georgia State.

Bob Fraser had been hoping for big things for the second EMD3on3 basketball tournament this past Saturday and Sunday at Emerald Downs. Given the 236 teams, some coming from as far away as Sandpoint, Idaho and Bellingham, Fraser got his wish. It was what happened off the courts, however, that has Fraser buzzing “It went really well,” said Fraser, the event coordinator. “Where we really had growth this year was in a couple different areas. We had about 1,000 more spectators.

People were calling up all weekend wanting to know if they could come watch and whether it cost anything, which it didn’t, being free, of course. “The volunteers and community involvement were way up,” Fraser added. “Last year we had about 20 volunteers. This year there were more than 60.” Fraser said community involvement in the event also ratcheted up this year, and the Auburn Rotary’s pancake breakfast really came up big. “They absolutely killed it,” Fraser said. “They raised more than $2,000 in revenue. The Kiwanis did a barbecue also and did quite well, as did Auburn Youth Resources.

Campfires prohibited in all state parks Washington State Parks announced Tuesday that campfires in all state parks are prohibited until further notice to help prevent human-caused wildfires during the hot, dry season on both sides of the Cascade Mountains.

The prohibition on campfires in state parks complies with the announcement Monday by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which notified the public of a ban on all outdoor burning on lands protected by DNR through Sept. 30. Campers in state parks will be allowed to use devices that allow for control of combustion, including: • Propane and liquid

www.nw-ads.com gas stoves appropriate for camping and backcountry use • Propane barbecue devices that do not use solid briquettes • Propane or pressurized white gas warming devices that have a shield or base • Lava rocks or lava logs may be used in propane grills and barbecues • Solid fuel citronella or other candles in a metal bucket or glass container
