Gateway development project gets back on course Suspect

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It was back in 2011 when the City of Auburn approved the Robertson Property Group’s plans to turn the Valley 6 Drive-In Theaters

site into The Auburn Gateway, a 70-acre, multi-phased, mixed-use, residential and retail development.

In 2013, the landmark Valley 6 sign was removed from its manyseasoned perch over Auburn Way North.

Ever since then, however – setting aside the fallen fences, the rich profusion of weeds and grasses, the guy recently caught camping under a tree – it seems that not much has been going on there.

But take a closer look.

A 39-year-old man has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder with firearm enhancements for the alleged fatal shootings of a 29-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man at Les Gove Park in Auburn on July 5.

The defendant, Charles C. Petrich, has also been charged with one count of unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree. If convicted as charged, Petrich’s sentence range is 33 to 49½ years in prison.

Petrich’s bail has been increased to $4 million from the $2 million set at first appearance.

In 2008, the Washington state Legislature passed a bill allowing small craft distilleries – hard liquor versions of micro-breweries that can produce up to 60,000 gallons of hard alcohol a year – to launch businesses.

Ever since then, in a state that now boasts more small liquor makers

than anywhere else in the country, it’s been boom city for Washington distilleries.

Now, courtesy of the newly opened Blackfish Distillers, Auburn has joined the ranks of communities with their own locally-produced hooch.

Auburn’s man of sole has reached the halfway point of his long-distance dedication on foot.

Tuesday. From Rugby, it’s about 1,500 more miles to Silver Springs, Md., the Pulmonary Hypertension Association headquarters, the walk’s final destination.

So far the walk has been methodical for Stevenson, who has followed Highway 2 across the northern part of the U.S. His wife, Loretta, drives a support vehicle ahead of him and secures overnight accommodations.

“Everybody has been nice to us,” Stevenson said.

“The walk has gone well.”

On May 16, Stevenson completed 500 miles, reaching Libby, Mont., in the unofficial start of his walk.

The head start increases the chances that the walk and return trip by car take place during good weather, with arrival at PHA’s Maryland headquarters by mid-September, Stevenson said.

Stevenson is dedicating his latest walk to Betty Mayfield, a friend and one of his church members,

Stevenson also is dedicating the walk to Dorothy Fitch, a friend who is struggling with PH, and to Cullen Steele, a Kent teen who recently received a double-lung and heart transplant and is making a strong recovery.

In 2010, Stevenson walked 1,200 miles around the perimeter of Washington state to help raise money for expenses related to Steele’s surgery.

Stevenson’s walk for PHA is his 20th since 1998 to raise money and awareness for medical causes he supports. He has walked more than 50,000 miles for various charities since 1998.

Long-distance walking became his passion after he retired in 1994.

County cracks down on unlicensed pot businesses in unincorporated areas

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Residents Danny Harbin and Jack Smith look on as Valley Regional Fire Authority firefighters work to put out a brush fire near Auburn Adventist Academy Air Field on Monday. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

Large brush fires extinguished in south Auburn STAFF REPORTS

Valley Regional Fire Authority firefighters were busy Monday afternoon putting out brush fires in south Auburn, both possibly set by juveniles playing with fireworks.

The VRFA responded to a report around 2:15 p.m. of vegetation on fire on a hillside at the Belara Apartments on Terrace View Lane.

Neighbors reported seeing kids with fireworks.

When crews arrived the fire was approximately 200-by-200 feet in size and spreading up a steep

hillside.

Crews from East Pierce Fire & Rescue, King County Fire District 44 and King County Fire District 20 helped the VRFA from the bottom of the hill at the apartments and up top to keep the fire away from homes.

A brush truck from Pierce County was brought in to help mop up after the fire was 100-percent contained.

Then at 5:16 p.m., firefighters contained a large brush fire near the Auburn Adventist Academy

Air Field.

Neighbors reported seeing juveniles with fireworks in the area prior to the fire. Fire crews arrived to find a 50-by-50-foot brush fire that was rapidly moving up an incline toward a number of singlefamily homes.

Crews from nearby agencies helped the VRFA contain the fire to approximately five acres.

There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters.

The causes of both fires remain under investigation.

Letters went out last week to the owners of 15 unlicensed marijuana businesses in the unincorporated areas of King County, informing them that they must close down because they do not have state-approved licenses to sell pot.

King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg and King County Sheriff John Urquhart announced the crack down on July 8.

“Unlicensed marijuana establishments have had ample time to come to grips with the passage of I-502,” said Urquhart. “The citizens of Washington State voted in 2012 for a legalized and regulated marijuana system.

With our actions today and going forward, we honor the will of the voters.”

Among the 15 unlicensed marijuana businesses, two have Auburn addresses: • Evergreen Canna Club (ECC) at 33301 Kent-Black

Diamond Road SE • Military Road Holistic, 34049 Military Road S. Initiative 502, which voters approved in 2012, requires that the state create a system for the licensed production, processing and retail distribution of marijuana, with no such requirement for medical need.

The State Legislature recently adopted amendments to I-502 that bring medical marijuana into the state licensing system and eliminate “collective gardens.”

Sales outside of the state licensed retail operations are illegal.

“These stores are illegal. They are unlicensed, untaxed, and they are undermining Washington State’s new law. How local jurisdictions deal with this issue may well determine the success of the entire law,” Satterberg said.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“This is a darn good budget for Washington that is sustainable, responsible and fair. Our economy is rebounding and so is our ability to invest in the people and programs that have made Washington the most innovative, forward-looking state in the nation.” – Gov. Jay Inslee, on the end of the 2015 legislative session.

Prepared to gointer, unveil new vocabulary with my koozie The Oxford English Dictionary announced in June that about 500 words have been added to its dictionary.

The article about the added words made me all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just opened a gift of eight-track cassettes of CSpan’s Book TV – the greatest hits.

I suspect 500 words is larger than my entire working vocabulary, unless growls, gasps and weird sounds count. And I think they do.

Here are a few of Oxford’s additions that caught my wandering attention.

• Carnap – stealing a car, (not what I do while driving). It was first used as a verb in 1937 in the Helena Independent.

• Gointer – It is a verb and one of my new favorites. Oxford said it is a colloquial expression for going to. Example: I am gointer regurgitate your so-called food.

Is this a great word or what? You say going to, I say gointer.

• Koozie – It’s a noun for a sleeve to keep drinks cold (or more likely concealed).

Sounds to me like the name of a hit parade ’80s rock band – Koozie and Krumb Topping.

• Stanky – a noun. It is the smell of a teenage boys locker room on a 90-degree day.

For me, there are few things more entertaining than looking up the meaning of words I will never remember or be able to spell.

As I scanned the list it occurred to me there are a number of words I know that for some reason are not in the Oxford dictionary.

I checked.

I have considered sending them a list of useful verbals and nounettes to add next time.

Here are a few.

• Whack-noodle – verb, adjective, noun, gerund, pronoun, interjection, conjunction.

Often heard during off-the-record phone conversations during political season.

It’s the same with salmon conservation.

We all value salmon, and we all must share the burden to protect and restore this rapidly

As the resource continues to decline, tribal and state fisheries are more regulated than ever before to sustain the resource, yet every day we are losing the fight for recovery.

Salmon populations are declining

because their habitat is disappearing faster than it can be restored.

Meanwhile, the hatcheries that were built to make up for fish lost because of damaged habitat are under increasingly heavy attack. Opponents want them all closed. They claim hatcheries produce genetically inferior fish that sometimes stray onto spawning grounds and pass along their genes to wild fish.

Our treaty-reserved rights include the right to have fish available for harvest. We did not give up nearly all of the land in western Washington so that we can put our nets in the water and pull them up empty time after time.

State government budget shortfalls and the effects of climate change are making things worse.

Because of the ongoing loss of habitat, we are becoming more and more dependent on hatcheries to provide salmon for harvest.

Today more than half of the salmon harvested in western Washington are hatchery fish.

was the solution to salmon recovery, we would have accomplished it a long time ago. That is because habitat – more than any other factor – determines the health of the salmon resource.

We have lost more fish to disappearing habitat than have been or ever will be harvested. If we want more fish, we have to protect the habitat that both hatchery and wild salmon depend on.

We may not be able to do much to control climate change, but we can do a lot more to stop the loss and damage of salmon spawning and rearing habitat.

Let’s start by enforcing laws already on the books to protect salmon habitat and stop the bleeding in our watersheds.

The burden of conservation must be better shared by habitat if we are going to recover salmon. Harvest and hatcheries have been carrying most of the weight for far too long.

effects of climate change are causing more harm to salmon throughout their entire life cycle. A record low snowpack, low stream flows and increasing water temperatures, combined with the results of ongoing habitat loss and declining marine survival, are forcing tribal and state co-managers to implement some of the most restrictive fishing seasons ever seen.

Salmon are in a spiral to extinction today, along with our treaty-protected fishing rights. Something has to change. That “something” is the share of the conservation burden carried by habitat. Right now, the treaty tribes are doing most of the work to protect and restore salmon habitat.

The tribes and state operate safe, responsible hatchery programs that are guided by the best available science. We will need these hatcheries for as long as habitat continues to limit natural production from our watersheds.

and flavored brandies at 420 37th St. NW., just a stone's throw away from Emerald Downs.

In addition to the distillery, Blackfish operates a small tasting room in the same location where customers can stop by to sample the latest batch, as well as buy liquor and merchandise.

“We give anybody who comes by a tour and a taste,” said owner and operator Michael Gifford. “They’re both free. We share our philosophy and show them what we’re doing. We’re pretty wide open.”

Talk awhile with Gifford and you’ll surely hear the word “local” pop up, and often. The distillery is a family affair. Blackfish's sons, Matt and Nate Gifford, and his father-in-law, Larry Brewer – the namesake of the company’s Doc Brewer’s Rye Whiskey – and family friend Tyler Strandjord run the business.

“We want to be the local distillery that is providing drinks you can only get in Auburn. Like the local donut store that makes the donuts for the local people," Gifford said. “We don’t have any plans to expand anywhere else.”

Blackfish may be Gifford’s first foray into distill-

ing, but the family’s lineage boasts a strong connection to liquor makers going back to the families' roots in England.

“The first one on record is John Gifford, who in 1670 joined the Worshipful Company of Distillers in London,” Gifford said. “I grew up on the family farm in Maine, which was a maple sugar farm. But it also had a grove of juniper trees hidden in the woods for making gin.

Many farms had stills, in fact a lot of them in this area (Auburn) still have them. It’s an agricultural business that our family has been in for years and years.”

Gifford's plan is to guide the company according to those homestyle-farm principles, using local products to formulate and produce his wares.

“We actually feel the seasonal effects as any agricultural business does,” he said. “The farmers around here are excited about this as well. They’re excited to share their cultural drinks, some of which have names I can’t pronounce. It was their idea to make the cherry brandy.”

Additionally, Gifford said, the company uses Washington state grain for the whiskey and sends spent grain off to local farms for use as feed.

Delicious apples were used in Blackfish’s recent Apple Brandy offering.

“Fitting into this community is a total surprise,” Gifford said. “When you first look at this community, it’s a huge industrial park. But there is an agricultural community that is still here.”

Aside from the draw of returning to his family's roots and what some of its members did before the advent of Prohibition – a national ban against the making, importation and consumption of liquor that was the law of the land from 1919-1933 – Gifford said the challenge of starting up a distillery from scratch appealed to the engineering part of his soul.

“The excitement and challenge of the engineering involved in this and also the opportunity to change careers was what drew us in,” he said. “We were inspired by our visits

to other distilleries but also by encouragement from friends. They said, ‘Mike, you’re always making different things, couldn’t you make moonshine?’”

Gifford said a visit to Dublin, Ireland and more to the point, the Guinness Brewery and Jameson Distillery, sealed the deal.

Gifford turned to his sons, Nate – formerly an underwater archeologist – and Matt – a former astrophysicist – and Brewer, a retired obstetrician and Blackfish’s secret weapon, according to Gifford.

“The final decisions are the taste decisions, and those are made by Matt, Nate and Larry to decide what we’re going to put our label on,” Gifford said.

It is those decisions, along with the emphasis on small batches, that separates the quality of Blackfish’s offerings from the bigger distributors.

“A big company with a

big still can’t compete with an artisan who makes a decision on the spot that impacts those final flavors,” he said. “We’re treating each small batch as a different product.”

It’s also that artisan spirit that makes the company’s rye whiskey special, Gifford said.

“Once it goes into a barrel it ages to the appropriate time,” Gifford said. “Larry has a saying about when it’s time to take it out of the barrel. He says ‘You take it out when all the whisky has married with the barrel to get the right flavor.’ You don’t take it out sooner or later. There is no specific time for taking it out of one of our barrels. The little ones can be a one-night stand, while the bigger ones require a longer relationship.”

The methodology at Blackfish is paying off with

customers.

“We can’t keep that whiskey on the shelf, and we haven’t even told anybody about it,” Gifford said.

It’s also been a hit with other distillers.

“We just got back from Proof Washington (the Washington Distillers Festival, July 11 in Fremont) with 40 other distillers,” Gifford said. “And that was just a blast. It was a confidence builder; it was our first big event. We are in good standing with a lot of distillers around here, so we’re doing some really nice home cooking.”

Gifford said the company will soon be able to sell its products online in the state and host up to 12 events annually at the distillery.

“We were going to take them back with us, and we were going to leave the headstones as cenotaphs,” Nancy said.

Like other Americans of Japanese ancestry after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Togami family was removed to an internment camp, in this case Tule Lake, Calif. Kenji’s brother, Michael, was born in the camp. The family was among those that did not return to the Auburn area after the war.

Nancy and Kenji Togami looked on as Ogui, sensei of the White River Buddhist Temple, picked up his chanting.

The couple had come from California, hoping to return with whatever time had spared of the remains of Kenji’s sisters, Mihoko, still born, and Yoko, dead of a childhood disease.

Both girls died before Kenji was born 78 years ago on the family farm in the community of Thomas at the present day site of Emerald Downs.

It was one of many visits the

couple had paid to Pioneer Cemetery over the years – and it was to be the last.

The couple had hoped later to inurn the ashes at the Sunset View Cemetery in El Cerrito, Calif., where Kenji’s parents, three of his sisters and his brother, Michael, are buried.

But when Craig Hudson, administrator of Auburn Mountain View Cemetery, had had the headstones lifted days earlier to see what if anything was under them, there were no ashes — the inexpensive wooden boxes and what was in them had long ago melted into the dust.

“We are disappointed we don’t get to take the ashes back

2009, Circuit City and Borders Books, which were to have been the largest of Auburn Gateway’s tenants, folded.

Their exit prompted a change of focus away from leasing, for the moment.

Manavian said that the RPG is competing with other developers keen to attract major tenants to commercial sites that are along freeway arterials, which are more attractive to would-be tenants.

“We’ve also had many major tenants wanting to acquire pieces of our property, and we don’t want to lose control because we want this to be an integrative development,” Manavian said. “We’re very, very patient, and we’ll hopefully last out some of the desires of people who want to just pick off some property.”

Meanwhile, he said, the RPG is looking ahead, trying to figure out what’s

going to happen with retail markets and how potential major tenants are consolidating.

“I am not going to be apologetic about where we are with the leasing part of it,” Manavian said. “The infrastructure is critical for us. With 277th coming in, it will improve that edge and make a big difference in helping get this project off the ground.”

Manavian said the RPG has recently wrapped up several key land acquisitions, including one 4-acre parcel that will enable it to develop the north half and the south half of the project in a way to provide much-desired continuity.

“We want this development to be dramatic in a way so everybody feels like it’s a true mixed-use center, and not a hodge lodge of activities,” Manavian said.

“We see the north half of the property, up north

of 49th, as being where we want to put more of a lifestyle center that has not only hard goods but also soft goods and restaurants.

On the south, we would be open to larger, big-box tenants. Unfortunately, all of the big-box tenants want the north end. We don’t want to give up what we think is the best orientation for a project like this.”

Manavian added that he drove through the site Monday and was embarrassed by its condition.

He said the RPG has a third-party manager who looks after the project, and from now on the RPG will insist on once-a-week photographs.

“We have some fences that have fallen over, and now that we have all the edges, we’ll be better at controlling weed abatement and those sorts of things,” Manavian said.

Cyril H. Van Seluse

Cyril H. Van Selus formally retired on the morning of July 9, 2015 after a lifetime of loving support to his family and the community in Auburn.

Van spent his life focused on helping others, first as a medic during World War II, for which he won a Bronze Star, and later as a community leader in Auburn. He always looked to help those less fortunate, working to pay forward the opportunities he had been given. Throughout the years he spent selling furniture in Auburn, he also dispensed advice with a sparkle in his eye and a dash of humor. He strongly believed in taking care of family, and loved the Auburn community as an extended part of his family. He was engaged in many different parts of local life, serving as Elder in the Presbyterian Church for thirty-five years, Kiwanis Chairman, and American Legion President.

In addition, Van served as a mentor for many. He guided local youth as a founder of Auburn Youth Resources and as a member of the Juvenile Court Conference Committee for more than 20 years. His concern about youth extended to a focus on providing education for disadvantaged young people, leading him to campaign for school bonds, serve on the Foundation Board for Green River Community College, and form a scholarship at Green River. His wisdom came from a lifetime of involvement in the community. For his thoughtfulness and guidance, he was named a Citizen of the Year in 1994 and a Hometown Hero in 2001. Most of all, it was important to Van to take care of all the people in his life. He touched many lives with his advice, generosity, and warm smile.

He is survived by Nixie, his wife of sixty-nine years, as well as daughter-in-law Virginia Lowe, daughter Karen Carlson, son-in-law Richard Carlson, son Randy Van Selus, son Wayne Van Selus, daughter-in-law Sue Van Selus, seven grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Thursday, July 16th at 3:00 PM at First United Methodist Church, 100 N Street SE in Auburn. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Auburn Food Bank, Auburn Youth Resources, or Green River College Foundation. Arrangements made through Klontz’s Funeral Home.

[ SHOOTING from page 1 ] July 23 in courtroom GA of the Maleng Regional Justice Center.

The victims have been identified as Sara Arthur, 29, and Chaz Schmitz, 32. The suspect has ties to Auburn and the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area, where Arthur and Schmitz also are believed to have been from, police said. Police said Petrich has referred to himself as homeless.

In the statement for probable cause, Auburn Police described what happened as follows: “Petrich and Sara Arthur, and Chaz Schmitz were at Les Gove Park … Petrich was witnessed in a dispute with Schmitz. He obtained a .22 caliber rifle from his white Chevy S-10. He then used the rifle to shoot Sara Arthur at the base of her skull. Petrich also shot

Schmitz in the chest.”

According to police, Petrich fled in his truck.

Schmitz died at the scene, and Arthur was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where she died from her wounds on July 6.

According to police, Petrich is a convicted felon with the crime of seconddegree assault on his rap sheet.

Objecting to Petrich’s release, Auburn Police had the following to say: “(The suspect) used a firearm to shoot and kill from point-blank range, two unarmed victims. (He) is a convicted felon with numerous failures to appear and is transient. If released, (he) would likely flee and potentially arm himself again, posing a substantial likelihood of harm to the community.”

DOG DAY The Auburn International Farmers Market celebrated the Dog Days of Summer with a dog parade and contest last Sunday afternoon.

Owners and their furry friends strutted before the judges and competed for prizes in the Auburn Sound Transit Plaza.

Among the big winners were: Charli, a 3-month-old dachshund chihuahua mix owned by Auburn’s Maile Kohler, who won Cutest Dog; and Mike Sabrowsky’s Charlotte, a 3-month-old Burnese mountain dog, who took Best in Show.

Pet Pros, Dog Days Inn, Hound Dog Bakery and Petpalooza sponsored the event.

The market is open every Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., through Sept. 27, featuring fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables, a variety of foods, bakery products and handcrafted items.

To volunteer, call 253-266-2726. For more information, visit www.auburnfarmersmarket. org.

First, let me extend my sympathy to your friend.

I hope she is doing well, or as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

My response to your questions is two-fold. First, no test in medicine is perfect, so please don’t let this incident deter you from your yearly checkup.

Although mammograms can often pick up a breast cancer the size of a dot, they can, on rare occasions, fail to identify cancers the size of a walnut. This is not because mammograms are substandard tests; they are often excellent tests. Mammograms

are the only imaging studies that have been shown, by randomized-controlled trials, to significantly lower mortality for women who get them on a yearly basis. Despite the news you relate above, I strongly urge you and every eligible woman to continue getting yearly mammograms.

Without reviewing your friend’s mammogram, I can’t say for sure why her cancer might have not been identified. Often this can relate to dense breast tissue, a subject covered in recent postings and worth learning more about. An estimated 40 percent of women in the U.S. have dense breasts.

Secondly, without reviewing your mammograms and analyzing your risk factors, I cannot form an opinion on your mammogram results

of remedies that can help you to reduce the impact that these common forms of arthritis and autoimmune disease can have on your dental health.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and almost everyone over age 60 develops some form of the disease. It is caused by mechanical wear and tear on the joints, making everyday movements more difficult and painful.

Proper oral hygiene may become more difficult as the ability to grip a toothbrush becomes hindered. Mechanical improvements can be made to your toothbrush by wrapping the handle with tape to improve grip, or by placing a rubber or tennis ball on the handle to give you something larger to hold on to. Regular visits to your dental hygienist for professional cleanings are very beneficial.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The exact cause of RA is unknown, however researchers do know that the body’s own immune system becomes overactive, causing significant joint inflammation. RA is significantly less common than osteoarthritis, affecting one-tenth as many people. Multiple joints are

DENTAL HEALTH

Dry mouth, aching joints, jaw soreness, dental and periodontal problems.

You may just think you’re getting older and that these issues come with the territory, while in reality, you may be one of the 53 million American adults living with some form of arthritis.

A common misconception is that arthritis is “an old person’s problem.” While many arthritic diseases tend to present in the 40-50 year age range, they can affect any age group.

Arthritic disease is the No. 1 cause of disability in the U.S. Arthritis is a generic term that means “inflammation of the joints.” It is an all-encompassing label that includes more than 100 diseases, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Many arthritic diseases have an autoimmune component, meaning that the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy cells.

At times rheumatoid arthritis is associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as Sjögren’s Syndrome, a significant condition that can have drastic effects on the dentition. There are a number

affected, in a symmetrical fashion, and over time, the cartilage the lines the joint spaces becomes destroyed, causing varying degrees of pain and immobility.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement can be found in patients with RA, at times leading to bite changes after years of joint destruction. Eating a softer diet, and limiting gum chewing can help to reduce symptoms of TMJ pain.

Recent research has suggested an association between rheumatoid arthritis and gum disease, as both have similar inflammatory mechanisms.

One small study of 40 patients, at Case Western University’s School of Dental Medicine found that those patients who received treatment for their gum disease reported significantly more improvement in their RA symptoms than those who only received treatment for their RA. More studies are necessary to determine whether treating periodontal disease can help to prevent progression of RA, but overall, if you have a chronic inflammatory disease, improved oral hygiene is always a good idea.

Sjögren’s Syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting from inflammation of the glands that produce saliva and tears,

Patients with this condition may also have rheumatoid arthritis. The disease primarily affects women over the age of 40, although younger age groups and men may also be affected.

Dry mouth, or xerostomia, can wreak havoc on the dentition and can also cause bad breath. Saliva has many natural protective properties for the mouth.

It helps to wash away food and bacteria present on your teeth and also helps to neutralize acids in your diet that can cause cavities.

When you lack adequate saliva, you will need to compensate for that in order to prevent dental decay.

Use of a power toothbrush is helpful, as is stronger fluoride toothpastes, such as Prevident 5000 or Clinpro, available by prescription at your dental office. The extra fluoride can help to strengthen susceptible root surfaces, a common area for cavities in patients suffering from dry mouth. Don’t forget to brush your tongue, or better yet, use a tongue scraper to remove the bacteria deep in the crevices of your tongue to help combat bad breath associated with dry mouth.

Fluoride gel application in custom trays, made from molds of your teeth, is another great approach in cavity prevention.

Lamb of God to play White River Amphitheatre Aug. 23

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@yahoo.com

Lamb of God is alive and well.

With a new album, “VII: Sturm und Drang”, set to drop on July 24, and a coheadlining summer tour with metal juggernauts Slipknot coming into Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre on July 23, things have never looked better for the band.

“We’ve just signed with Nuclear Blast outside of the United States, which has some record commitments to it,” bassist and founding member John Campbell said.

“So we’re planning on doing

this until the wheels fall off.”

That wasn’t the case just a couple years ago when the Virginia-based heavy metal band – which formed in 1994 as Burn the Priest – looked for all the world like the wheels were about to come off.

In May of 2010, while playing a club in Prague, Czech Republic, a 19-year-old fan, Daniel Nosek, died from head injuries suffered in a fall from the stage during Lamb of God’s set, pushed by lead singer Randy Blythe.

Unaware of the death at the time, the band left the country. When it returned in 2012, Blythe was arrested, charged

s k n a Th

with manslaughter and jailed for five weeks.

Although he was later released on the condition that he return in 2013 for trial, the future of the band looked uncertain, as did Blythe’s future freedom.

“It was quite a psychological shock to me personally,” Campbell said of the ordeal.

“But I never lost sight of the fact that it was not my child who had died. I was definitely getting the better end of the deal. There was a family that lost a son, a nephew, the plans of a lifetime. It’s a terrible tragedy, and unfortunately, we were involved in the tragic story of this kid’s life ending.”

for the wonderful Anniversary greeting!

A CENTURY OF HELPING OTHERS. HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

The trial court maintained that even though Blythe had thrown Nosek from the stage, the real fault lay with the lax security provided by the venue and with the promoters for allowing members of the audience to reach the stage.

Blythe was acquitted.

Regardless of the blame, Campbell said it’s impossible not to be affected.

“It’s like when you become a parent: everybody tells you how it’s going to be different, but it actually has no meaning until you actually become a parent,” Campbell said. “It’s almost pointless to tell people who haven’t experienced it what it’s like. There is no measuring stick for me to point to and show you the measurement of change. But it’s a psychological shock to go through.”

In 2012, after Blythe was released from custody in the Czech Republic, the band returned to the stage at Knotfest in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

“It was great having a chance to be back in the moment of what it is we’ve done forever and what I thought we may not ever be able to do again,” Campbell said. “That was at Knotfest, and they were kind enough to let us come play that one date, even though we had to cancel the tour that was booked around that because we didn’t know if Randy was going to be incarcerated or not. But it was an amazing feeling [to play live again].”

On the band’s upcoming seventh album, Blythe, the chief lyricist channels his experience in songs like “512” – the number of his cell in the Czech Republic – which opens with the verse, “Six bars laid across the sky/Four empty walls to fill the time/

Lamb of God, from left to right; John Campbell, Chris Adler, Randy Blythe, Willie Adler and Mark Morton. PHOTO TRAVIS SHINN One careless word, you lose your life/A grave new world awaits inside.”

“You can write about whatever it is you experience, and for Randy it was a brutal experience that he expressed as his art,” Campbell said.

With the ordeal – which Blythe chronicles in his book, “Dark Days: A Memoir”, and in the band’s documentary “As the Palaces Burn” – behind them, the band is ready to return to full strength with its first lengthy tour since the trial.

“We’ve toured with Slipknot back in 2004-2005,” Campbell said. “That’s where we got to know them, and then we’d see them over the years at festivals and different events. We’ve got to know them well, and we tour well together. I think they chose us because we were available and fit the bill and could add ticket sales.”

Campbell continued: “Going out on tour with Slipknot, or any band, our goal is always making it difficult for the other band to follow and share the same stage,” Campbell said. “That’s a chore with Slipknot. They bring some production and have nine guys out there. But we’ll be at the top of our game and pushed by their ferocity. It’s not something we planned,

but it’s a good side effect.”

Campbell added that Lamb of God is elevating the show’s production values to compete with the pyrotechnics and spectacle of a Slipknot show.

“Oh, we’ve got things,” Campbell said. “You can’t play in front of Slipknot without something. I’m not saying we’re bringing firecrackers and whistles, but we’ve got things.”

For anyone on the fence about whether to buy tickets to see the two bands this summer, Campbell had this to say: “I’m one to let someone make their own decision, but if you’re sitting around trying to decide whether to see this show, or not, I can’t imagine how awesome your life is that you have something going on better than seeing two heavy bands that are top international touring bands, coming through your town in the beautiful summer weather.

What else you going to do, sit around in your inflatable pool sipping tropical drinks?”

KISW’s 2015 Pain In the Grass show, featuring Slipknot, Lamb of God, Bullet For My Valentine and Motionless In White comes to the White River Amphitheatre on Aug. 23. For more information or to buy tickets, go to www. livenation.com

But winning is only one of the team’s keys to success.

“Sure, it’s nice to see you’re in second or first place,” said Coach Ezra Hendrickson. “But as long as we are developing and the players are getting better and improving, that is more of our concern because of the nature of the team.”

The purpose of S2 is to recruit and prepare top soccer players for a spot on Seattle Sounders FC1 – the first team – or as professional sports go, on another Major League Soccer team.

“We think we have brought in a group of very talented young players,” said Hendrickson. “So we’re happy with how it’s been going so far.”

The proof the system works and that hard work pays off for players was the signing June 26 of S2 forward Andy Craven to a first-team contract. He was S2’s leading scorer.

Sounders 2 players are professional athletes; they’re paid and the job is full-time.

As professional athletes, they’re developing relationships with fans who line up for autographs after a match, when walking around the Starfire campus, and when they go into schools in

www.auburn-reporter.com South King County to talk and teach soccer.

S2 general manager Andrew Opatkiewicz is working with small businesses in Tukwila and beyond to form partnerships with S2.

Tukwila and the area around it is “tremendously diverse” and there is a “ton of people” who love soccer, he said.

“We can bring professional soccer to that community,” he said, in an environment that’s “special and fun.”

The Tukwila community is embracing the team, with loud crowds at home games at the 3,200-seat Starfire Stadium. If you become a member of the Sounders Community Trust, you can own a piece of the team with others in the trust and have a say in league operations.

Besides developing soccer plays, the Sounders are also developing a fan base for S2 and building a community with those fans.

“When they come here, they are going to see an entertaining brand of soccer,” said Hendrickson, and the fans will see “aspiring professionals” working hard.

“They are soaking up everything that we are trying to teach them,” he said.

“And they are going out and executing our game plans on game day.”

But, more so, in practice

they are putting in the effort, he said, which makes them better prepared for game day, physically and mentally.

Last year, Major League Soccer told its first teams, such as the Seattle Sounders, that to develop players, they needed to affiliate with a USL team or form their own developmental team.

The Sounders chose to form Sounders 2, the second team. There are now three tiers to the Sounders’ organization FC1, FC2, and the Sounders Academy, which produces homegrown players competitive at all levels of the sport.

Duncan McCormick, a former Sounders Academy player, and team captain Amadou Sanyang were the first two S2 players, signing contracts in February.

Going into Sunday’s home game, S2 was 10-6-2, a record that would also put it in first place in the Eastern Division. The team had lost only one game at Starfire.

S2 gives the players competitive playing minutes, close to home and in front of a large crowd – and where they’re very visible to firstteam coaches.

The choice, said Opatkiewicz, was “obvious.”

Sounder Academy players get playing time, too, with S2 and first-team players are “loaned down.”

Duncan McCormick

is a product of the Seattle soccer community and the Sounders’ player development program in the Seattle Sounders FC Academy. He couldn’t play soccer for his high school, Seattle Academy, because of the risk of injury, but in doing so, he said, he missed out on high school sports, a bit part of the community’s culture.

“It’s a sacrifice that I made, and a lot of kids make it now,” he said.

After graduation, he committed to play soccer for Wake Forest University but he signed with S2 instead.

“I want to stick around here and play and pursue this career and following whatever happens with the Sounders or wherever I may go, for sure, college is definitely in the back of my head and something I want to get in the future,” he said.

McCormick’s father, Richard, played for the Sounders in the 1980s, was a Sounders coach and today coaches the under-18 team for the Sounders Academy.

Duncan McCormick says he could go on for two hours about his dreams.

“But right now my major goal is to make the first team. Make that step, much like Andy Craven just has.

And get that MLS contract.

And from there the sky’s really the limit,” he said.
