Pacific City Councilman to step down

80TH LONGACRES MILE

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

TWICE AS NICE

Stryker Phd stands tall in the winner’s circle after a second straight victory in the $250,000 Longacres Mile last Sunday. Only the fourth two-time winner in the 80-year history of the race, and the first at Emerald Downs, the 6-year-old

Pacific City Councilman John Jones will resign his Position 2 seat at Monday’s City Council meeting.

Jones, who is battling pulmonary fibrosis, or scarring of the lungs, said he also plans to medically retire from his job at The Boeing Co., sell his house in Pacific and move to Phoenix with his wife, Ruth, to be with his two youngest daughters and his three grandchildren.

Doctors diagnosed Jones with pulmonary Jones fibrosis in 2010, the year he first ran for a seat on the Pacific City Council.

“It’s slowly been progressing, and I’ve been taking medications to try to suppress it,” he said. “I’ve been seeing a lung specialist at the University of Washington, Doctor Ganesh Raghu, and we decided it was time to progress through all the preliminary stuff to a lung transplant.”

gelding was ridden by Leslie Mawing for trainer Larry Ross and owners Jim and Mona Hour. The victory, worth $110,000, pushed Stryker Phd’s lifetime earnings to $485,651. Story, page 12. COURTESY PHOTO, Emerald Downs

‘Bad’ intersection to get a roundabout

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The intersection of I and 22nd streets northeast in north Auburn has a reputation.

A bad one.

It is a wide, four-way-stop-controlled intersection, characterized by numerous approaches from each direction that create turning conflicts and sow confusion in the minds of motorists and pedestrians.

Such confusion, City traffic engineers say, plays a key role in the relatively high [ more INTERSECTION page 3 ]

Classic cars sparkle at Terry Home Show and Shine Auburn and Pacific, which care for young adults with traumatic brain injuries.

Cars ranged from tricked-out 1930s hot rods and classic 1950s iron to popular muscle cars of the late 1960s. There was something for everyone.

“It’s my dream car. Well, actually, I want a 1956, but it’s close,” said Bonney Lake’s Lacie Parrino, checking out Stan and Pam Pauley’s 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. The two-toned, red-andwhite Chevy classic was

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Sunshine was elusive at the 23rd annual Terry Home Show and Shine benefit car show last Saturday, but plenty of automotive beauty gleamed for spectators.

The event attracted classic hot rods and custom cars from throughout the state to Pacific City Park.

The show raises money for Terry Home’s residential treatment centers in

decked out 1950s style, with a drive-in theatre speaker, a boom-box blasting oldtime rock and roll, and a drive-up tray of malt and ice cream treats propped up on the driver’s window.

“We try to take anyone who looks at it back to the 1950s,” said Pam Pauley of Woodinville.

Another show-stopper was the 1936 Welcome to My Nightmare Auburn Boat-tail Speedster, with customized spooky paint honoring shock rocker Al-

ice Cooper. Built from the ground up, the car, which boasts more than $36,000 in paint alone, sold for $44,000 at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2012.

The Show and Shine offered a raffle, vendors, trophies, plaques and activities for the kids.

Next year’s event is already being planned. Mark the calendar for Aug. 20, 2016 for the 24th annual Show and Shine.

City official placed on administrative leave after arrest for DUI

Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Department Administration offices will move to a temporary location for the next several months to make way for construction of the new Auburn Community Center and the transformation of the administration building into the Youth/Teen Center at Les Gove Park on the Auburn Community Campus.

Scheduled activities in the Les Gove Park Gymnasium will continue without interruption during construction. The new administration offices will be in the Game Farm North Annex Building just north of Game Farm Park at the corner of Riverwalk Drive Southeast and R Street Southeast, at 2840 Riverwalk Drive SE. Main office hours will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the new location to accommodate walk-in customers, registrations and inquiries. Over-the-phone registrations and inquiries will have additional evening hours and will be accepted from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., MondayThursday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.

COMMUNITY’S ALL IN FOR AVERY REPORTER STAFF

The campaign to help 6-year-old Avery Huffman’s battle against cancer continues this weekend with two events Saturday.

Proceeds will help the Huffman family cover medical costs for Avery, who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

Running for Avery begins at 10 a.m. at Roegner Park, 601 Oravetz Road SE. The Regional Valley Fire Authority will be on hand for the benefit run. The Calvary Chapel South, a worship band led by John Monto, performs.

Monto, whose son

attends Lakeland Hills Elementary with Avery, is donating a portion of the digital market sales of his single, “Fill Me Up”, which he wrote with Philemon I. Ackon.

Also Saturday, the #AveryStrong Auction runs from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Lakeland Hills Community Center, 5801 Lakeland Hills Way SE.

Police arrested Auburn Director of Administration Michael Hursh on suspicion of driving under the influence in a City-owned vehicle early Aug. 11, according to authorities.

Hursh was stopped around 2 a.m. in the area of Southeast 304th and 112th Street because of erratic driving, according to the Auburn Police Department.

Hursh, a nine-year City employee who has served in his current role since 2012, was booked into SCORE jail. After an Aug. 11 court appearance, he was released on his personal recognizance Hursh On Aug. 12, Hursh was placed on indefinite administrative leave pending the results of a criminal and internal investigation.

The City of Federal Way will handle the prosecution and the Washington Cities Insurance Authority is conducting the internal investigation.

According to the police report, Hursh admitted to having consumed alcohol that night.

“This is a very difficult situation for me,” said Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus. “Michael is a good man who it seems made a terrible mistake. While I do not condone his judgment or actions, I trust both the legal and internal process to ensure there is no special treatment, and that justice is served.

“I hope that this is a lesson to each of us that there is no tolerance for drinking and driving,” Backus said.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: On Monday, Aug. 24 to Friday, Aug. 28, construction of the Auburn Way South Corridor Improvements project will require night work from 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. on Auburn Way South, from Dogwood to Hemlock, to construct utility crossings.

and to be in a position to go after future grant funding for construction,” Traffic Engineer Pablo Para recently informed City leaders.

Auburn installed its first roundabout in 2008 at the intersection of Southeast 304th Street and 124th Avenue on Lea Hill.

As City Councilman Rich Wagner recalled, the City OK’d roundabouts at that time only for moving traffic, not for pedestrians. He worried about the safety of students coming to and from nearby Cascade Middle School.

“I would ask you to be

sure to analyze the safewalking routes for students as you design this,” Wagner said.

Para said the City plans to coordinate the project with the Auburn School District and with the nearby community.

In fact, the grant the City actually has requires it to hold neighborhood meetings.

“There’s a lot of misconceptions about roundabouts in general, but they do actually have an improved safety record over the four-waystop control that is there now,” Para said.

Federal Way Public Schools placed Sunnycrest Elementary teacher Patrick Michael Belser, 44, of Auburn, on administrative leave when school district officials learned of the allegations – which do not involve students, according to charging documents.

Belser was arrested last week after three victims, one of whom is the teacher’s relative, told investigators that Belser had sexually abused them years ago.

Belser’s relative said the abuse started when he was 12 years old during a summer break he said he was abused every summer afterward, about five to six times. Now an adult, the victim said the last sexual assault occurred when he was 17 years old.

Belser’s arraignment is at 9 a.m. on Aug. 27 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

west. For private gatherings, you can pull a screen and close off the lobby.

Down the hall and around the corner is a mail center, and farther on a 24-7 fitness center for the use of all residents.

“A few people have asked us if they could join the gym.

We had to tell them its for residents only,” Strazzara said.

There are 68 parking stalls on the first floor, and 60 parking stalls in the parking garage building across the alley. The latter parking garage is a remnant of the defunct Project Ace, formerly proposed by the Cavanaugh family. Except for the portion of the garage that faces the alley, the structure now sports a red brick façade, matching the main building.

An outstanding feature is the large, central third floor courtyard, which offers an outdoor fireplace, an outdoor cooking station and deck.

There are six basic floor

plans, and the apartments are already about 30 percent leased, “about where we expected it to be,” Strazzara said.

Here are the floor plans: • Studio: 536 square feet, one bath, $1,149-$1,189 • Open: 543 square feet, one bath, $1,169-$1,269 • One bedroom and den: 687 square feet, one bath, $1,345 to $1,455 • One bedroom and den: 725 square feet, one bath, $1,375 $1,475 • Two bedroom: 821 square feet, two bath, $1,550$1,650 • Two bedroom: 856 square feet, two baths, $1,650-$1,750.

No, the units are not cheap, but as Strazzara noted, a twobedroom, 821-square foot, two-bath apartment in Seattle today rents for more than twice the rate.

“This 821-square unit we’re in here goes for $1,550. This unit in anything I’ve done on

Capitol Hill in Seattle would be $3,200 or $3,400, for exactly the same unit,” Strazzara said.

“So, you’re not talking about a little bit of a spread, you’re talking enough spread that it would affect someone’s lifestyle. Tenants are going to keep an extra $1,200 $1,500 in their wallets. That’s an extra $18,000 a year, enough to get people to come down from Seattle and live here. And that is already happening here.”

The demographics roughly reflect a mix of retirees, young urban professionals, and 50-somethings, men and women.

The overall idea was to create a young, urban-style project that would attract people to the downtown who may not have thought of being in Auburn before. And in that spirit, the building offers some surprising features.

to moving to Phoenix and spending some time with family and relaxing for the rest of the time I have left, which is approximately a year.”

In his five-plus years on the council, Jones made his mark by helping to save the Valentine Avenue and Stewart Road construction projects, which, despite being almost abandoned owing to mismanagement during former-mayor Cy Sun’s administration, are nearing completion.

“I’ve enjoyed the trials and tribulations,” Jones said. “I’ve learned a lot and taken the task of doing my civic duty seriously.

Between the Valentine and Stewart projects, I see

them as the shining stars of getting the City to the next level where residents can have good places to shop and the City can start to have a financial base.

Unfortunately, I won’t be around to see it, although I’ve done my part.”

Mayor Leanne Guier, who opposed Jones for mayor when the council was moving to appoint a replacement after Sun’s recall, said Jones contribution to the City has been vital.

“John sat on our civil service, and I first met him when we sat on the planning commission together,” Guier said. “Then he ran for council before I did. He has a very fair way of looking at things. When he makes

decisions or votes on something he takes into account how it will affect the whole city. He and Clint Steiger were instrumental in saving the Valentine project. If not for them, the City would have lost a lot of money and that project.”

The City is now taking applications for Jones’ soon-to-be-vacant seat.

The application period closes on Aug. 31.

“Provided we get enough applicants, the council will invite the applicants down, interview them, and the following week have an executive session to discuss and appoint somebody through 2017,” Guier said.

OUR CORNER

www.auburn-reporter.com Last week’s poll results:

The political racing season opened Aug. 5 with very few fireworks.

There are a handful of challenged City Council races in the cities I cover, but most candidates made it to the ballot without a battle.

Deciphering the message in the plethora of unchallenged seats is similar to reading tea leaves soaked in succotash and out-ofdate buttermilk. We can call it complacency, or euphoria, or say a TV show about lying teenage girls was on and couldn’t be missed to sign up for an elected office.

Platitudes are easy, truth likes to hide.

In challenged races I avoid forecasting the winners, losers and whiners.

I never predict the future of anything unless it involves a horse race.

I could handicap a political race if I could get reliable past performances from the Daily Racing Form like I do with the Longacres Mile or Kentucky Derby.

Past performances, or PPs, are charts and notes that describe how a horse ran in earlier races. PPs from the Form are not given the happy guy spin. They are facts and observations – straight, no chaser.

Here are some examples of PPs I dreamed up for political races: • Fell down at the half-mile pole because it was too darned hot and the sun was in his eyes; • Finished last because he ate two Big Macs and three orders of fries last night (Mmmm – those were the days); Dennis Box

Frank Jr. to be inducted into Wild Salmon Hall of Fame The late Billy Frank Jr., longtime treaty rights activist, salmon proponent and an Auburn Reporter guest columnist, will be inducted into the Wild Salmon Hall of Fame during an Oct. 10 gala at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton.

The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group’s Salmon Center is honoring Frank’s legacy. Billy Frank Jr.’s son, Willie Frank, will accept the award on his behalf.

The inductees to the Wild Salmon Hall of Fame are chosen for their contributions to saving wild salmon populations throughout the Northwest.

Frank Jr. From his activism that helped lead to the 1974’s Boldt decision to his work as chairman of the Northwest Fisheries Commission, Frank fought for healthy streams, restoring estuaries, removing blockages and most important, protecting and sustaining the Northwest culture and way of life.

“We can’t overstate how long lasting his legacy will be,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “He pushed the state when he needed to push the state. And he reminded the state when it needed reminding. His legacy is going to be with us for generations.

My grandkids are going to benefit from his work.”

City needs to address its homeless problem I have lived my 54 years here in our town of Auburn, and if you have been here that long, you have seen a lot of changes, too.

Our small town has lost its beauty and, as we all know, our small-town shops. That said, I no longer have tolerance for our homeless population.

I live in the southeast area and take pride in where we had our roots. Our parks are loaded with this problem, and I thought in the beginning that things would be taken care of. It has only escalated in the past four years, and now when you walk down the street and see a man passed out on the sidewalk in plain view for three hours, it’s unacceptable.

I have personally called for a welfare check on people in the park, only in hopes that they are OK. Now, I feel it’s time for our City to really crack down on this problem.

Our children in this city do not need to be exposed to this, especially in our city parks.

They are supposed to be a fun and safe place for us all.

– Connie Love

Let’s not be choosy over marriage I totally agree with that piece, “Marriage, belief and change” (Ray Still, Our Corner

No, I am not gay.

And yes, I am a Catholic and I believe in the teachings of my faith. And as Still puts it, the “greatest commandment” of the Christian faith is to “love our Lord and to love each other”, and how we can’t love God if we don’t love our neighbor.”

Indeed.

True, there are passages in the Bible that say that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. But I don’t think the Bible should be read literally. Most passages in the Bible are proverbs.

No, I don’t profess to be an expert on the Bible.

To quote Mr. Still once again: “Any couple that comes before God to be joined together in spirit, whether they be different or same-sex, are

equal in every way, including God’s love.”

And, that reminds me of a scene in the Bible where when children saw Jesus, they all ran toward him, but Jesus’ disciples stopped them from coming near him. But Jesus said to his disciples, “Let them come to me.”

God loves us all. He’s not choosy.

– Jesse Jose

Fallacy in the thinking In response to Ray Still’s column: Ray and many others would have us believe that if we do something with love and sincerity that it is acceptable to God, in particular homosexual marriage. Therefore, we must accept it. There is fallacy in this thinking.

First, a couple of statements of understanding. I believe we are all children of God, and as such we are entitled to respect on that basis. Secondly, I do not deny that same-gender attraction exists.

If we follow Mr. Still’s logic, then incest, fornication and adultery are acceptable to God because the persons committing the act believe they are doing it with sincerity. (Not in all cases and rarely with incest, but I would guess there are cases where both parties are consenting.) [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

The 2015 Community Employment Alliance (CEA) Awards honor state businesses, government agencies and nonprofit corporations that have made exceptional efforts to employ people with disabilities, and who by their recruitment, hiring, retention and promotion policies are role models in their community.

The City employs three clients through Trillium employment services: David Delaune serves as a mail courier in the City’s Multimedia Division; Craig Daly works in the Community Development & Public Works department performing administrative duties; and Kasey Mayer is part of the maintenance

AUBURN DAYS Auburn Days returned to downtown last weekend with music and entertainment, arts and crafts, food and vendors. Saturday featured a grand parade along Main Street. MultiCare’s flower float, above, was a part of the show. A posse, below, makes its way along the parade route.

At the parade, Robert Lutz, with the Auburn Valley Humane Society, right, lets Tristan Taase, 4, pet Hoss, who is ready for adoption.

[ LETTERS from page 5 ] That we all have sexual attractions, whether it be heterosexual or homosexual, we violate God’s laws when we act on those feelings and use the procreative powers given us outside the boundaries God has declared. No number of court decisions overrule God. This leads to two more fallacies.

Sometimes we feel enlightened and seek to justify our actions by attributing to God that he has finally seen things correctly because we wish it and that because God loves us, he accepts our actions (not us, as the person, but our actions) even as they violate His commandments. This cannot be. How can God be God if he changes? How can I have faith in a God that may change his mind tomorrow?

To the sinner Christ said, “Go and sin no more.” This applies to us no matter what our sexual orientation. Yes, God loves us but we might do well to try and orient ourselves to him rather than the other way around.

Hargrove must be held accountable While I have been at best dubious on Rep. Mark Hargove’s stances on many issues, this record is clear. He is a member of the Legislature found by the state Supreme Court to be in contempt, and on Aug. 13 found again to be in contempt and facing a $100,000-a-day fine for not adequately funding education.

All the while, Hargove remains a standing member of the House Education Committee.

For that record, and quite more, I intend to replace Mr. Hargrove in 2016 with a bias for action.

There must be accountability. I encourage you to think wisely and vote independently.

Punish criminals, not gun owners In response to Mr. Sheppard’s letter to the editor (“Let state regulate, license guns”, Auburn

Reporter, Aug. 14): I thought I had heard it all, but when I read Mr. Sheppard’s answer to gun violence, it was so out there that I had to laugh.

Mr. Sheppard and others like him do not understand that the Second Amendment was intended for the people of the United States to stand up to a suppressive government. Would Mr. Sheppard’s answer to gun violence be like putting the fox in charge of the hen house?

The fact is are guns are not the problem. The more gun laws we have burdened our law-abiding citizens with have created more violence by restricting the honest person to defend themselves.

The entitlement society that is being created in this country is the problem. We have special interest groups, media and our president who push their own agendas in total disregard for our country as a whole.

We have citizens being killed by people here illegally, and our government protects the illegal, not the citizen. We have people attacking the police and getting

• Ran off the track at the far turn because he wanted his peanut butter and jelly and cheese sandwich with the crust cut off like his grandma always did; • Got really tired and started whimpering when the gate opened because he stayed up too late watching Book TV (that would be me, in fact they all could be me).

Figuring out who wins and who loses in city races is a roll of the loaded bones.

In the years I have covered races, I have only seen one or two candidates with motives that were less than straight and cheery.

I believe most local candidates think they can do good, and they want to help their community. The question for a voter is: does a candidates’ vision of good line up with your vision – and more importantly, do you have an idea what is best for your community?

Many people, including me, kvetch about the various elected bodies and officials. Running for office to fix the kvetch is often not the zip-a-dee-doo-dah day most imagine, and once on the inside, elected officials find our government, by design, moves like a killed when the officer defends him or herself, and the government, media and president go after the officer before they know the facts. You do not need a weapon to kill someone.

Perhaps people like Mr. Sheppard should put their energy toward the real issues, like singleparent homes, drug abuse, lack of jobs, black-on-black crime and stop trying to make excuses for the society he and other like him have created.

Maybe we should use all of the existing laws we already have on the books and stop cherry picking the ones that fit our personal agenda.

Fire the politicians who don’t abide by the law, like the mayors of cities who harbor illegals. A person here illegally shows their total disregard for our laws and is a criminal.

All being said, punish the criminal, not the honest gun owner. If you haven’t heard, criminals don’t adhere to the law. That’s why they are called criminals.

“This just fits into our goals of diversity, inclusivity, and awareness at the City of Auburn,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “It just makes perfect sense that we hire people of all abilities in our City to make sure the job gets done.”

The City has partnered with Trillium for eight years, and Backus encourages other cities and organizations to consider using a supported employment program.

“It’s a win-win for everyone. All you need to do is give them a chance,” Backus said.

Finalists and award winners will be honored at an Oct. 8 luncheon at the Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie.

crabby iceberg.

So, for all our kvetching, it is best to remember, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars ….”

Local races may seem uninspired compared to the Trumpmobile, but a City Council race affects a community where it lives, drives and plays Yahtzee.

The happy news is the Constitution was crafted by the founders to protect us from the worst – and it has done its job well for a couple of hundred years.

Alexis de Tocqueville in his twovolume “Democracy in America” adroitly described the political system he observed in 1840.

“Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends. … Each partisan is hurried beyond the limits of his opinions by the excesses of his opponent, until he loses site of the end.”

OK, I’m not sure how that fits in with my rambling, but I like what Big Al wrote, and I don’t have a better way to end this column other than – vote.

Oral care and its connection to pancreatic cancer Dr. Stuart Rich

than 46,000 people will be diagnosed, and almost 40,000 will die of the disease.

The pancreas is a small, pearshaped gland that sits behind the lower portion of your stomach.

Most of us are aware that the pancreas secretes insulin, the hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar. Poor blood sugar control and insulin resistance can lead to diabetes. The pancreas is also responsible for secreting enzymes that help digest food.

In our ongoing series of articles on the oral-systemic connection, we are looking at how the health of your mouth may be connected to pancreatic cancer.

Hormones and the risk of breast cancer hormone use.

The most common type of post-menopausal hormone therapy is estrogen only, and you must be on estrogen 5-10 years for it to increase your risk. If you stop taking hormones, you will soon return to normal risk.

DOC TALK

Dr. Blackwelder

Recently, a patient asked, “Do women who are on post-menopausal hormone replacement have a higher risk of breast cancer?”

The short answer is yes, but minimal.

It depends on the type of hormone and length of

Combined therapy with estrogen and progesterone, which is less common, carries a somewhat greater risk.

How do you categorize normal and high risk?

When health care personnel talk about breast cancer risk, it is most often in terms of lifetime risk. You have heard that one out of eight

In 2007, a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health of more than 50,000 men showed that those with a history of gum (periodontal) disease could be at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Even after the researchers adjusted the data for age, smoking history, diabetes, obesity, diet and other potential contributors to pancreatic cancer, they found that men with a history of gum disease had a 64 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared to men without a history of gum disease.

In 2012, researchers from Brown University, the Forsyth Institute [ more DR. RICH page 10 ]

women in the United States will get breast cancer during her lifetime, which means that lifetime risk is 12.5 percent. We speak of intermediate risk as lifetime risk of 15-20 percent, and high risk is lifetime risk greater than 20 percent.

How much does postmenopausal hormone therapy increase a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer?

got teeth?

A woman currently on estrogen replacement therapy will see her lifetime risk raised from approximately 12.5 percent to less than 14 percent, whereas a woman on combined estrogenprogesterone therapy will see her risk elevated to just over 16 percent. It appears that the increased risk for women on estrogen alone [ more BLACKWELDER page 10 ]

While it is the 12th most diagnosed type of cancer, it is the fourth-leading cause of cancer death overall. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, even when diagnosed early. It usually spreads rapidly and is rarely detected in its early stages. Symptoms often don’t appear until it is quite advanced, which severely limits options for successful treatment. Only one in five of those diagnosed in the early stages will still be alive five years later.

The American Cancer Society estimates that in a given year, more

DENTAL HEALTH

What do actor Patrick Swayze, Apple cofounder Steve Jobs and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have in common?

They were all diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Swayze passed away in 2009 at 57, and Jobs in 2011, at 56. Ginsburg, diagnosed in 2009, is now 82 years old and has survived longer than most victims of this aggressive cancer.

This type of cancer hit especially close to home in our office, when one of our own team members lost her father to pancreatic cancer last year.

Since more than 70 percent of the adult U.S. population has some form of gum disease, these studies further confirm that maintaining oral health through regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene is essential to your overall health. In fact, it may just help save your life.

and Harvard University found that high antibody levels against the oral bacteria p. gingivalis double the risk of pancreatic cancer. The body generates antibodies as a normal response to foreign invaders, like bacteria. Antibodies are part of our immune system’s normal defenses. They are in higher numbers in response to higher levels of bacteria.

Diabetes and obesity also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. A diet high in meat, especially processed lunch meats and bacon, also increases the risk. As you might expect, a diet high in vegetables and fruits reduces your risk. Like mom always said, “Eat your veggies.”

While you can’t do anything about your gender, race, age or genetics, there are a number of positive things you can do to decrease your risk of this and a whole host of other diseases through lifestyle choices, like quitting smoking, losing weight and eating a healthy diet.

occurs only for women with normal weight, not for those who are overweight.

However, women who are overweight have a slight increased risk of breast cancer from the weight factor alone, so the end result is about the same. Check back soon, as we will talk more about other risk factors in a future column.

So, while there is a mild increased risk for some women who take post-menopausal estrogen, it may be a reasonable risk for you in order to relieve the symptoms of early menopause, and is reversible upon cessation of estrogen therapy. Rest assured that your physician will most likely weigh the risks and benefits carefully when recommending hormones for your health.

Stryker Phd repeats as Mile winner

BY DENNIS BOX For the Reporter

It was a weekend for records at Emerald Downs Saturday and Sunday.

Stryker Phd won the $200,000 Longacres Mile, Grade 3, for the second consecutive year joining a very small clique of three – Amble In, Trooper Seven and Simply Majestic.

Sunday was the 80th running of the Mile, which Joe Gottstein, founder of Longacres, began in 1935.

The consecutive win pictures for Stryker Phd was the first at Emerald Downs, which opened in 1996 four years after Longacres closed.

Director of Publicity Joe Withee noted at the Mile postposition draw Aug. 12 that more horses have won the Triple Crown than have consecutively won the Mile.

The 6-year-old gelding was ridden by Leslie Mawing at the high weight of 123 pounds. He ran the flat mile course in 1 minute, 34.06 seconds, and paid $4.60, $3 and $2.40.

Larry Ross, assisted by Sharon Ross, as the winning trainer for owners Jim and

Stryker Phd with jockey Leslie Mawing on board holds off Sammy Mandeville to capture the 80th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile. Styker Phd is the fourth back-to-back winner of the Mile. EMERALD DOWNS Mona Hour of Bellevue.

The horse was bred by Char Clark Thoroughbreds and Todd Havens.

Stryker Phd has a lifetime record of 21-8-5-5, with earnings of $485,651.

Along with the Longacres Mile record, 53-year-old Enumclaw jockey Gallyn Mitchell set a few riding

TURNING POINT STUDIO

records of his own while celebrating his birthday.

Mitchell guided Lady Rosberg to the winner’s circle in the $65,000 Emerald Distaff on Sunday.

“Today she broke, and was right with them, and I could have had the lead at any time,” Mitchell said.

“And I just talked to her, and she came right back, and I did anything I wanted

in the race.”

The 5-year-old mare opened up in the stretch and passed Sarahline for a 3-1/2 length victory for trainer Tom Wenzel and owner/breeder Karl Krieg of Oak Harbor, Wash.

Mitchell added another to the win column, riding Scat Daddybaby in the $25,000 Pete Pedersen Memorial Purse for 3-year-olds and

up.

The 5-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Scat Daddy is owned and bred

by Mike and Amy Feuerborn from Maple Valley.

Scat Daddybaby ran one mile in 1:34.17, 0.11 seconds slower than Stryker Phd’s winning time two races earlier in the Longacres Mile.

The gelding was bumped from the Mile during the postposition draw when there were three horses at the same weight for two spots. Scat Daddybaby was the odd-horse out.

Conditioned by Robbie Baze, Scat Daddybaby won by 3 ½-length victory over Remembertobreathe.

The gelding is 6-3-1 in 19 starts, with earnings of $99,439. The gelding finished fourth in the 2014 Mile after leading the field through six furlongs in 1:08.42.

Saturday was Mitchell’s birthday and he celebrated by winning the$50,000 Barbara Shinpoch Stakes for 2-year-old fillies aboard Princess Kennedy.

Mass., in a 10-round contest, The heavily-favored Gavronski didn’t disappoint, dominating from bell to bell. The Auburn boxer used his unique combination of technical ability and devastating power to land brutal hooks and equally dangerous jabs throughout the contest. Although the

more experienced fighter, Hammond was never able to find his rhythm despite landing more than a few hard shots.

In the end, Gavronski proved too much for Hammond, winning a unanimous decision and sending his hometown fans into the night happy yet again.

In the evening’s semimain event, blue chip prospect and Tacoma native Marquice Weston (6-0-1 2KO’s) took on Utah’s David Sanchez (3-2 1KO) in a fiveround bout.

The taller Weston enjoyed a significant reach advantage, using his length to keep Sanchez in range, never allowing his opponent to build momentum.

Weston took home a unanimous decision victory to keep his perfect record intact and continue his climb in the ranks.

Also featured in a fiveround bout was Vancouver, Washington native Jason Davis taking on David Lo-

the race. A Kentucky-bred

Community says goodbye to a true matriarch: 100 years an Auburn girl If Auburn were to ask for a symbolic matriarch, Clelia “Clel” Ungherini Stevens would certainly have been a popular choice.

Her family was among the city’s immigrant pioneers and earliest residents.

And except for briefly working and living in Olympia and Tacoma, she lived in Auburn her entire life.

Clelia, who turned 100 years old on Dec. 18, passed away peacefully on Aug. 1.

Like so many others seeking a better life near the turn of the 20th century, her family sailed from Italy

Clelia Stevens to America before passing through an East Coast port.

Her mother, Emilia Montecchiani, and her father, Fabio Ungherini, and their families soon found their way to the mining towns of Minnesota, where other family members were already at work.

Emilia and Fabio got married then headed to

That’s what she met her husband of 74 years, Fred Pierce Stevens.

Foreigner invades White River Amphitheatre with Kid Rock Sept. 5

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

If you have listened to FM radio at any time during the past 30 years, you know who Foreigner is.

You may not be able to pick out the band members in a crowd, as only one – founder, guitarist, and chief songwriter

Mick Jones remains from the band’s formation in 1976 – but you know the tunes.

Hits such as “Feels Like the First Time”, “Double Vision”, “Cold as Ice”, “Jukebox Hero” and “I Want to Know What Love Is” have been staples of album-oriented rock format stations for decades. Over that time the band has released 10

multi-platinum albums, sold more than 75 million albums and produced 16 top-30 singles.

And on Sept. 5 at the White River Amphitheatre, the band will showcase its hits as the support band for Kid Rock’s Cheap Date Tour. “(The songs) still sound good, I like them all,” said

Tom Gimbel, the band’s multi-instrumental secret weapon on saxophone and guitar. “Every song we play I still adore. The quality is in the song writing itself, but Mick was also very wise when he recorded the albums.

They’re not overbearing.

When he plays the guitar he’s not blazing... he’s playing very tastefully.”

He continued: “He’s closer to a Jeff Beck than a Jimmy Page. I think that in itself helps. Mick is such a genius musician and songwriter, he’s in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

We’re talking about a real gift, but that also extends into his guitar playing. He’s a master craftsman of those guitar parts.”

In addition to Jones’ knack for crafting the band’s music, Gimbel said, Jones is altruistic by nature, a fact that shines through live when ever the band performs, “I Want To Know What Love Is.” On each stop of the tour the band selects a high school choir to sing the choir parts of the 1984 hit on stage with the band. Foreigner donates $500 to the choir – in this case from the Muckleshoot Tribal School – and allows choir members to sell Foreigner CDs at the show. Proceeds go to The Grammy Foundation, which donates money for music education in schools.

“We’re just happy to be

Foreigner, clockwise from left: founder Mick Jones, bassist Jeff PIlson, Tom Gimbel, Chris Frazier, Michael Bluestein, Bruce Watson and Kelly Hansen – comes to Auburn Sept. 5. COURTESY PHOTO able to help out some of the schools that are just having their music budgets chopped,” Gimbel said. “We were feeling bad about that and wanted to do something. And Mick came up with the idea.”

Gimbel, a graduate of the prestigious Berklee School of Music, said the cause is close to his heart. “[Music education] was huge for me,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons I looked forward to going to school. I was a bad kid, so if it wasn’t for music, I probably would have been cutting class.”

Tickets for shows on the Cheap Date tour are just $20 plus a service charge for everything in the venue except the first two-rows. Additionally, the shows feature $4 beers and food specials.

So far, Gimbel said, the

shows have been a mix of Kid Rock fans and a smattering of Foreigner die hards.

“It’s a nice combination of 20-year-olds all the way on up to our contemporaries,” he said. “It’s a great combination of age groups that you see this music spanning across. And people that love Kid Rock and don’t really remember Foreigner come out and go ‘oh yeah, I remember all these songs’. There is really a nice benefit to having had these songs played on the radio since they were born. We’re always kidding Mick Jones about having too many hits.

What a problem to have. We can’t play them all, there are so many.”
