The latest stage in the overhaul of Auburn High School was unveiled last Sunday when the Auburn Symphony Orchestra filled the remodeled Performing Arts Center with classical music

during its season-opening concert.

About the only aspect of the facility, which was closed during the 201314 school year, that is unchanged is the square footage. But many aspects inside – and outside – received an extensive overhaul as part of the $80

million bond passed in November 2012 to build a new high school.

Jeff Grose, Auburn School District’s executive director of capital projects, said the entrance to the 22,000-squarefoot facility now is located on

Green River College is seeking input from faculty, staff, students and the community for its new program prioritization process.

The process will help the college improve its programs as well as save money as it faces a potential $4 million to $5 million budget deficit, said Derek Brandes, Green River’s

Man perseveres to earn degree

BY IRMA FRITZ For the Reporter

William Rima has been many things in his life: a son, a husband, a father, a U.S. Marine, a programmer, a schizophrenic and a homeless person.

Of all of these experiences, his illness and resulting homelessness had the biggest impact on his life.

And now, Rima is on his way to transforming himself once again – this time as a pastor who ministers to the homeless.

For Rima, it’s been a long road from his birthplace in Auburn to graduate school at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) in Berkeley, Calif., where he is beginning [ more RIMA page 7 ]

Man arrested for DUI, injuring several in collision

BY RAECHEL DAWSON Federal Way Mirror Reporter

WEEKEND OF FULL SR 18 CLOSURES NEAR TIGER MOUNTAIN, AUBURN Drivers who use State Route 18 near Tiger Mountain State Forest and Auburn should plan ahead for full directional closures and major detours this weekend. Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will close all eastbound or westbound lanes of SR 18 for several hours Saturday and Sunday mornings for paving, guardrail and tree removal work. All work is weather dependent.

Closure details: Saturday - Westbound SR 18 from I-90 to Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast will be closed from 4 to 10 a.m.

Saturday - Westbound SR 18 from Southeast 304th Place to Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road will be closed from 4 to 10 a.m. for tree removal work. The right lane will remain closed until 4 p.m.

Sunday - Eastbound SR 18 from Issaquah-Hobart Road Southeast to I-90 will be closed from 4 to 10 a.m.

A signed detour will be in place during all closures.

THE WHITE RIVER VALLEY MUSEUM is working on its upcoming exhibit schedule and wants some help from the public.

EmDowns shows big gains FOR THE REPORTER

Buoyed by larger fields and increased purses in claiming races, daily average handle soared 10.7 percent at the 70day Emerald Downs’ meeting that concluded Sept. 27, track officials said.

Average field size also showed a healthy increase – going from 6.27 horses in 2014 to 6.86 in 2015 –while ontrack horse population sailed beyond the 1,000 mark for the first time in three years, track officials reported.

Average total daily handle was $1,262,956, with a high of $2,421,017 for Longacres Mile Day on Aug. 16, officials said.

The Emerald Downs’ brand also grew substantially – showing a 16-percent increase in selling of its races in 2015.

First-year Emerald Downs’ President Phil Ziegler credited

the successful meet to the track’s strong financial foundation built by Ron Crockett, and the continued commitment from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, who officially acquired the track in March and have enhanced purses the last 12 seasons.

Said Ziegler, “The success we experienced this season would not have been possible without the support of our track founder Ron Crockett who continues to play a integral role at Emerald Downs, and the Muckleshoot Tribe who own our company and have invested over $13 million in purses since 2004.”

Last winter Emerald Downs announced a 20-percent purse increase for lower-level claiming races and also added several incentives to lower costs for horsemen. These enhancements resulted in several firsttime Emerald Downs’ trainers,

the biggest influx coming from Turf Paradise in Arizona.

Stakes races fared well, too, with an average field size of 8.0 for 27 Thoroughbred stakes, including an overflow field for the $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3), officials said. Jim and Mona Hour’s 6-year-old gelding Stryker Phd won four stakes races – becoming the first horse to win the Longacres Mile twice at Emerald Downs – and repeated as Horse of the Meeting.

On-track attendance also showed a slight gain in 2015, and fans on-track enjoyed a new 1,100-square-foot jumbo video screen atop the tote board in the infield.

In 2016, Emerald Downs celebrates its 20th anniversary meeting. Racing dates will be announced later this year.

Federal Way police arrested a 23-year-old Auburn man for driving under the influence after he caused a five-vehicle crash last Saturday, injuring several people.

The suspect was driving a black Chevrolet Cobalt with three other occupants when he ran a red light at the intersection of 16th Avenue South (Enchanted Parkway South) and State Route 18 at approximately 9:30 p.m.

His vehicle hit a Subaru Forester, which caused subsequent car accidents.

Several people were taken to the hospital for their injuries, including one with fractured ribs. Three of the five vehicles were impounded because of damages.

After obtaining a search warrant, the suspect was taken to St. Francis Hospital to have his blood drawn for a toxicology report. Once he was medically cleared, an officer arrested the suspect for vehicular assault.

“I noted that (the suspect) spoke with a thick slur and it was as if his words had no definite end or beginning,” the officer wrote in the police report. “I observed an odor of intoxicants on his breath and noted that the odor was stronger as he exhaled.”

Swaying back and forth, the suspect made his way to the patrol vehicle to be escorted to SCORE jail. But as he was searched, the suspect asked what happened. When told he was in a car accident, he questioned, “I was?” and replied “Hmm” when he learned several people were hurt.

He repeated the questions once in the police car and only seemed concerned when he learned that his car was totaled.

“Telling (the suspect) that the vehicle was totaled appeared to have more of an impact on him than when I had told him he was under arrest or that he caused an injury producing the collision,” the report continues.

The man then recounted his night to the officer. The last thing he remembered was having a Miller Lite beer at the bowling alley. He did not remember leaving the alley and when asked why, he replied, that he “drank too much.”

Remodeled center opens its curtains [ PAC from page 1 ] Fourth Street Northeast.

He said the change made it more visible than in the past when it was located in the middle of the high school campus and also improved the parking situation.

Grose said that is important because the facility has been “one of the busiest theaters in King County” since it opened in 1980. He said the parking lot adjacent to the theater has 400 parking stalls. Before, Grose said, there were 220 spaces.

Pam Smith, who has been the district’s theater director

for 18 years, expects that lot to be open in November.

The bigger parking lot is just one of several enhancements.

“I think the first big thing people will notice is the lobby,” Grose said. “Before it was a shared space with the student commons and cafeteria. Now it is a distinct lobby that is totally rebuilt.”

An elevator to the balcony was added along with restrooms on that level. Visitors to the facility, which has featured an array of uses ranging from body-building competitions to plays, will see many

Auburn’s new-look Performing Arts Center features a distinct lobby. RACHEL CIAMPI, changes inside. There is a new curtain, carpet, seats and sound system. Grose especially is pleased with the multicolored seats that “lean toward rich red.”

“Not every seat is the same,” he said. “All complement each other. It doesn’t look so plain. And when you don’t have a full house it doesn’t look so empty.”

For convenience, Grose said, a center aisle was added to make it easier for guests to exit. The only exit lanes in

the past were on each side of the theater. That modification reduced the theater’s capacity from 1,057 to 937, but Smith said it remains the largest PAC south of Seattle in King County.

Some changes might not be quite as noticeable to patrons. Grose said there were “a number of code-related upgrades,” including replacing wiring and the roof and other enhancements to meet the Americans With Disabilities Act.

THE PETRI DISH

I-1366 would force Legislature’s hand – or cut sales tax Tim Eyman’s latest ballot offering will gauge how far voters are willing to go to restrict state lawmakers’ ability to raise taxes.

If it passes Nov. 3, Initiative 1366 would trigger an economic consequence for the state unless voters are given the opportunity next year to put tougher rules for hiking taxes into Washington’s constitution.

The measure would reduce the sales tax by a penny unless a long-desired constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority of the Legislature to raise taxes without a public vote is put on the November 2016 ballot.

“This is not a new idea,” Eyman said, launching into a recap of all the times voters endorsed a supermajority requirement. “We have had five votes on it. I feel like after five votes, voters have earned the right to be able to make this policy permanent.”

The initiative gives lawmakers until April 15 to refer a constitutional amendment to the ballot. If they don’t, the state would stand to collect an estimated $1.6 billion less in sales tax receipts in the current two-year budget. That’s about the same sum of new money that’s been pledged for public schools.

Initiative opponents contend the measure is a misuse of the initiative process. They use terms like “blackmail” and “extortion” to describe the potential loss of billions of dollars if lawmakers don’t comply.

“We’re concerned because Initiative 1366 would lock in place our state’s upside-down tax system and make it even more difficult to fund education,” said Collin Jergens, Jerry Cornfield

Time to amend the Second Amendment I chuckled my approval when I saw that cartoon on the top page of the opinion section of the Oct. 9 Auburn Reporter.

I agree. Trash it. Amend, not amen to the Second Amendment.

The antiquated words on this amendment have turned present-day America into the old days of the Wild Wild West.

The NRA and its fanatic followers reasoned that we need to arm ourselves, so we can protect our families and ourselves from criminals, and from home invasion. But do we need battlefield weapons for that?

I think only morons have that kind of reasoning.

I am not totally against owning a firearm. I own a six-shooter, and to me that’s enough to protect my family and myself.

Also, it’s not really the so-called “criminals,” who perpetuates mass killings.

As we all know, it’s usually the mentally ill with access to weapons of mass killings.

Weapons that the NRA and its followers believe and endorse that anyone in this country of ours can own.

Because they – so wrongly – believe in the antiquated words and definition of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. An amendment

Support a levy that’s good for kids, families In response to the “Best Starts for Kids is our golden opportunity” (Reporter, Oct. 9):

In today’s society, education is viewed as a necessity to building a better life and creating a future for oneself.

Many of the reforms of the 1960s an 1970s were based on the recognition that students who are hungry, sick or worried about their families could not achieve as well as students who were free of these cares (National Association of Social Workers, 2009). Yet, the programs that are put in place to help such students are often the ones that are at risk for budget cuts when money is tight.

The Best Starts for Kids levy will provide an opportunity for the youth in our community to succeed and build a positive future, despite the struggles students may face. This levy recognizes the need for community collaboration; cultural awareness is also an important piece.

Families and students will benefit from strategies that are culturally appropriate and tools and support will be provided for families. When students do not receive much needed support, outcomes such as student dropouts may be a possibility.

Students who do not finish school and drop out often have bleak futures. On average, a dropout earns less money, is more likely to be in jail, is less healthy, is less likely to be married, and is unhappier than a high school graduate (Messacar & Oreopoulos, 2013). [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

Auburn’s job support for people with disabilities recognized statewide FOR THE REPORTER

Auburn residents are well represented when it comes to job support and training for people with disabilities.

The City of Auburn and state Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, were recognized by the Community Employment Alliance at the group’s annual meeting in Snoqualmie on Oct. 7.

The alliance is a statewide, nonprofit group working to create more successful job opportunities for people with disabilities.

Auburn was recognized as a 2015 Outstanding Employer. The award goes to businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations who are role models by making exceptional efforts to employ

people with disabilities.

“This fits into our goals of diversity, inclusivity and awareness at the City of Auburn,” said Mayor Nancy Backus. “It 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 employment services for eight years, and Backus encourages other cities and organizations to consider utilizing a supported employment program.

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

Fain was recognized as one of this year’s Outstanding Legislators, his second

year in a row. The award goes to legislators who have made exceptional efforts to support employment for people with disabilities.

During the 2015 session, Fain protected funding for the VIP Act, which funds employment services for 1,000 people with developmental disabilities.

“People with disabilities take great pride working in their community,” Fain said. “Providing the tools for both job seekers with disabilities and employers so they’re prepared to work together is critical. Auburn is also incredibly fortunate to have our city government setting an example for other employers in the city.

Every company in our community should reach out to organizations like Trillium to discover how they can benefit through hiring a worker with a disability.”

The Honorable Claudia Kauffman Scholarship will being given in recognition of Kauffman’s achievement in becoming the first Native American woman elected to the state Senate.

She served the 47th Legislative District.

“This is an honor, and I am hopeful this will inspire native students to continue to seek higher education at every opportunity,“ Kauffman said.

“We don’t think that legislating by blackmail is an effective way to govern or fund education.”

Eyman defended the tactic.

“You need to give people a choice and allow the choice to convince them which direction they want to be able to go,” he said.

“For every criticism of 1366 being really aggressive, if it’s this aggressive and voters vote for it that’s a pretty emphatic message that ‘Yes, we want it so much that we’re telling our legislators to either let us vote or allow us to keep some of our money.’ ”

Been there, backed that Five times voters have approved initiatives requiring a two-thirds vote of the legislature or majority vote of the people to raise taxes. The first time occurred in 1993 with passage of Initiative 601 and the last came in 2012, when 64 percent of voters approved Initiative 1185.

In 2013, the state Supreme Court struck down the restriction. They concluded such a change could only be made by the legislative branch and not by voters with an initiative.

“Our holding is not a judgment on the wisdom of requiring a supermajority for passage of tax legislation,” Justice Susan Owens wrote for the majority. “Such judgment is left to the legislative branch of our govern-

ment. Should the people and the Legislature still wish to require a supermajority vote, they should do so through a constitutional amendment.”

That’s the reasoning behind I-1366, Eyman said.

“We’re doing exactly what the Supreme Court told us to do,” Eyman said.

“They said you need to pursue a constitutional amendment. That’s exactly what we’re doing.”

How it works Under Initiative 1366, the state retail sales tax rate would drop from 6.5 percent to 5.5 percent on April 15 unless the Legislature refers a specific constitutional amendment to the November 2016 ballot.

That amendment must require any tax increase be approved either by a vote of the people or by at least two-thirds of the House and the Senate.

This amendment must also include a requirement for lawmakers to set the amount of any fee increases.

If the sales tax rate is reduced, the Office of Financial Management estimates the state would collect $1.6 billion less in this budget and $8 billion less in the next six fiscal years.

But there’s a plus side too. If prices drop because of a lower sales tax, retail sales could climb. The state estimates that could result in more money — $226 million — for local governments in the same six-year period.

Sense of privilege The main point of Jerry Galland’s letter to the editor (Auburn Reporter, Oct. 2) was not addressed in the response by David Hill (Auburn Reporter, Oct. 9), which was that the firefighters were illegally and aggressively panhandling on a public thoroughfare and doing so without consequence.

“It’s anti-democratic,” said state Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens.

“This really ties our hands.”

Foes worry it will hamstring the state’s effort to adequately fund public schools by 2018 as the Supreme Court required in its McCleary decision.

Lawmakers are wrestling with how to pick up the tab for a slew of expenses, including teacher salaries school districts now pay for with local property tax levies.

The additional cost is estimated at $3.5 billion per budget.

“Lawmakers face a growing array of funding challenges. Initiative 1366 does not give them any tools to solve them, and, in fact, it may cause further delays and challenges,” said Bill Keim, executive director of the Washington Association of School Administrators.

Rep. Hans Dunshee, R-Snohomish, put it more bluntly.

“It is a threat. It would destroy the quality of our schools,” said Dunshee, who is chairman of the House budget committee.

Even if voters turn this initiative down, Eyman said it won’t end his pursuit of a supermajority requirement. He’ll just have to find another method.

“There are many ways to make it tougher to raise taxes,” he said.

there are too many in all levels of government that behave as though they are above the law and can do as they please.

Hillary Clinton’s violation of the laws, regulations, and State Department policy and Obama’s lame attempts to legitimize his extra-constitutional actions are two notable examples.

I believe that a lot of people are getting disgusted with the hypocrisy and sense of privilege in the behavior of public servants.

[ COLLEGE from page 1 ] vice president of instruction.

The college has launched a website, grprioritization. org, to keep the community informed about its next steps. Green River has hosted two forums about the task and plans to have more.

The action the college will use is loosely based upon the research and recommendations from “Prioritizing Academic Programs and Services” by Robert C. Dickeson.

“I think there will be other factors when it comes down to budget,” Brandes said. “This is just one tool.”

As in the Dickeson model, Green River will divide the functions of the college into three pillars for evaluation — instructional services, student services and institutional support, Brandes said.

The College Council, which is made up of representatives from various constituent groups on campus, will name a steering committee to oversee the prioritization process. The council will also appoint pillar committees, one for each pillar.

Using rubrics, each committee will divide its programs into quintiles, with 20 percent of the programs falling into each quintile.

Quintile one will have the highest ranking programs and quintile five the lowest ranking.

“It is the quintiles that people have a hard time with because you are grouping them in rank,” Brandes said. “In higher education, the culture is that everyone is equal and we wouldn’t grade students that way.”

Leslie Kessler, Instructional Council chairwoman, shared faculty concerns with the new process during the college’s Sept. 17 board meeting, including comparing programs.

Brandes said quintiles will be used as one part of the evaluation process.

“Just because something is in one doesn’t mean it is automatically going to get more money,” he said. “Just because something is in quintile five doesn’t mean it is automatically going to get completely cut.”

The evaluation process isn’t just about making cuts, Brandes said.

“Although people focus on the cut part, a big part of it is how you allocate things to the things that you are doing really to help growth and a sustainable budget picture,” he said.

When Washington State University went through a similar prioritization process, Brandes said, the result was reallocating funds to the School of

Communications.

“They decided to put more investments in that (communications) and elevated it to a college within WSU,” he said. “Two other colleges they decided to combine and right size.

Instead of two deans they had one dean. Instead of two fundraising staffs they merged to one staff.”

Brandes said he hopes Green River can find similar solutions.

“Are there opportunities for efficiency?” he said. “I think they are all around us.

I am hoping that through collaboration as a campus community we are going to start seeing those. … Our objective is to strengthen the entire college not just specific programs and services unlike across the board cuts. We want to make sure the good things that we’re doing are fully functioning and operational. … My hope is that a lot of the gaps will be filled by the efficiencies and the ideas for revenue generation.”

Another concern faculty presented at the board meeting was the short time frame for the evaluation process.

The pillar committees are expected to finish their review of the programs by March so their findings can be turned over to a budget committee, which will

“I had a desire to help other homeless people, some of whom had been on the streets much longer than I,” Rima said.

From this ambition to help others grew an idea that became reality when he was accepted at Trinity Lutheran, a private fouryear Christian liberal arts college in Everett. In May of this year he graduated summa cum laude and was a proud speaker, giving the graduating class response.

He applied to graduate school at PLTS in Berkeley. Shortly thereafter, he learned that an anonymous donor had paid for his first year of studies.

In addition, he has already been offered candidacy by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) upon graduation from PLTS. Rima, who still carries his possessions with him in a backpack wherever he goes, has come a long way from homelessness to graduate student. He knows there is still a hard road ahead of him until he earns his master of divinity and can fulfill his ambition of ministering to the homeless.

While he said, “vita incerta est – life is uncertain,” he also believes that God performs miracles. “My own life is proof of that.”

his master of divinity studies this fall.

Rima was born in Auburn in 1974 and raised by his aunt and uncle on the Colville Indian Reservation in Eastern Washington. He married his high school sweetheart, and they had a daughter.

After eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including deployments to Okinawa and Korea, his marriage had ended and he left the Corps.

He remarried and found work with a leading Rima supplier of automated testing equipment in Southern California.

“Up until this time,” Rima said, “my life had not been so very extraordinary. But when I began to show signs of schizophrenia, it was like falling off a cliff. I lost my job, my wife and I separated and then I became homeless.”

Rima lived on the streets for three years, sleeping in woods, in homeless camps, in church doorways, and at shelters. He suffered much from isolation, exposure to the elements, and hunger. He subsisted on church suppers for the homeless, often

only one meal a day.

“Then a real-life angel appeared and referred me to Lutheran Compass Center,” Rima said.

He spent three months at the center while a counselor worked his case, coordinating with the VA and getting him moved to a veterans facility. Having achieved some stability, Rima took his meds regularly and began work as a vendor for Real Change, the progressive weekly street newspaper that provides employment for the homeless and poor.

When he received housing assistance for veterans, he moved back to Auburn and became a member of Kent Lutheran Church.

Kent Lutheran Church had a special place in Rima’s heart. It was one of the churches where he had slept – right under the pastor’s window – when he was homeless. The church had also fed him through their Kent Community Monday Night Supper Program. Rima applied for and received a food handler’s permit in order to volunteer for the very program that had helped keep him alive, as well as other community supper programs in the area.

[8] October 16, 2015 [ HOSPITAL from page 1 ] That’s the way it’s been at the Auburn hospital since MultiCare bought it in 2012, at least a three-year interval that has seen visits to the emergency department increase from 32,000 to 40,000.

“It’s old, its outdated, it doesn’t flow well for anybody – doctors, nurses patients, family, ambulance drivers,” David Nicewonger, chief operating officer at MultiCare’s Auburn Medical Center, said of the emergency department.

www.auburn-reporter.com Which explains why the Auburn facility is a major part of the $180 million investment the company expects to make in South King County – including in Covington – in the next three years.

While the company already had free-standing clinics from Auburn to Covington on Oct. 1, 2012, when it acquired Auburn Regional Medical Center, Nicewonger recalled, the Auburn acquisition gave it the opportunity to tie everything together into a

full package of care for the community – including hospital beds.

Nicewonger said MultiCare’s assessment of the hospital immediately after its acquisition showed plenty of room for improvement, including an outdated medical records system and old equipment.

While MultiCare was effecting improvements in those areas, including installation of a new medical platform that would allow the clinics and the hospital to talk to each other and

training of personnel to use the system, it was assessing what needed to happen from an actual facilities perspective for the hospital to be a viable, long-term resource for the community.

“The result was that we went to our board of directors in August and proposed a total $180 million investment for South King County,” Nicewonger said.

Investment No. 1 – a new emergency department.

“We’ll have a third more rooms when it’s all done,” Nicewonger said. “The rooms need to be made larger, so every room will be fully private, instead of using curtains in-between beds. And they will be large enough for family or visitors to be there while patients are in the emergency department, which feels really important to us.”

There’ll be a better work flow, and smoother connections to the various departments.

“Right now, if you need an X-ray or an MRI as part of your emergency room visit, we have to wheel you through some public corridors to get you there.

This new layout will give us a straight connection to the imaging or operating rooms, whatever service might be needed,” Nicewonger said.

There’ll be a brand new ambulance bay and entrance, capable of handling at least four ambulances at a time. No more backing up onto North Division Street.

Nicewonger said MultiCare is already working with the City of Auburn to make improvements to off-street parking.

“For anything unusual that happens in the area, even if was just a major traffic accident with multiple injuries, this emergency entrance for the ambulances would be a little hard pressed right now to accommodate it without

backing up into the street,” Nicewonger said.

Construction of phase 1 is already in the initial stage right now, with plans to open the first phase by August or September of 2016.

When that work is done, the hospital’s entire face along North Division will be the emergency department. The current public entrance and the current ambulance entrance will change places.

“What’s going to happen during phase 1 is we are going to do all the construction that would be to the south of the ambulance bay and the emergency department while we work on the ambulance entrance,” Nicewonger said. “Once the ambulance bay work is completed and open, we will remodel the interior of the emergency department and connect the two. There will be a period of time when we move into phase 1 and are remodeling the old emergency department when we will actually be down three beds, but we won’t close down.”

Phase 2 of the emergency room construction begins early in 2017.

Nicewonger called this stage of the investment “stabilization of infrastructure:” it calls for the installation of new emergency generators, and stabilizing the whole to ensure the department will there as a community resource in case of an emergency.

Phase 3 will see construction of a new, four-story, 68-bed patient care tower, with work starting in the spring of 2016 and finishing up in the first half of 2018.

Where will the tower go?

“We have an open parking lot in front of the medical office building along Division, and we’re not going to have that parking lot anymore,” Nicewonger said. “On the first floor, we’ll just have some better public facilities: a

new cafeteria, a new public entrance; a chapel; some meeting spaces, things like that. On the second, third and fourth floors will be the 68 beds. Those will not be new licensed beds; we’re still going to be a 195-bed licensed hospital. What will change is all of our rooms will be 100 percent private.

Right now the emergency rooms are small, and most are semi-private, meaning you’ve got two beds and a curtain. So, this will give us larger rooms, all private, with room for a couch and sleeping space for the families. It’ll just be a lot more comfortable and a lot more accommodating for everyone.”

The fourth part of the $180 million investment calls for proceeding with the construction of the 58bed hospital in Covington.

“We wanted to make sure that what we built in Covington would complement this hospital in Auburn, and vice versa, so that we would really serve the overall region well,” Nicewonger said. “That construction is expected to start in December of this year.”

Nicewonger added that MultiCare recently applied to the state to change 20 of the beds in Auburn to adult psychiatric beds.

“There’s a real need in the community, really the whole state for that. The state is at the bottom in the country for in-patient psychiatric care. Right now the hospital does provide care for patients 55 years of age and older, primarily for dementia patients. So this will take care of patients age 18 to 55, particular those psychiatric patients who have what we call medical co-morbidity, meaning they have some other medical condition that really necessitates being in a facility where there are physicians and resources other than psychiatrists,” Nicewonger said.

Regular brushing and flossing, along with use of a Waterpik (a sort of miniature pressure washer for your mouth) can help you to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile, without multiple white spots, once braces are removed.

Increased levels of estrogen and progesterone when puberty begins can cause blood vessels in the gums to dilate when bacteria and plaque are left on the teeth. This can lead to increased swelling and bleeding when brushing and flossing. Without regular dental care, this gingivitis (bleeding and infection of the gums) can progress to periodontitis (where permanent bone loss around the teeth can occur).

In the later teen years, a recent trend toward oral piercings is a cause for alarm. Tongue and lip piercings can cause gum recession, cracked teeth,

Puberty. By the time you reach puberty, your baby teeth are likely gone and you now have a fresh set of pearly whites. Proper oral hygiene and wise dietary choices will help you to keep these teeth for a lifetime.

Many teens start to notice the appearance of their teeth as they are going through puberty. Some may start orthodontic treatment to straighten a crooked smile.

Special care in regards to oral hygiene needs to occur during this time to prevent cavities from forming while in braces.

If bacteria remain on the teeth, weakening of the enamel can occur, which often appears as chalky white spots. If left to progress, these weakened areas will break down, forming

mammography get their checkup yearly and both genders recommend yearly checkups to their patients, family members and friends.

As I reflect on why this is, I think it is because we, as doctors who specialize in early detection, see how well our patients do when we identify a small cancer and make it a manageable detour in her life, versus when we care for a patient who has not had regular checkups and now is faced with a poor outcome from a larger cancer that could have been caught earlier.

I think dealing with those scenarios on a daily basis drives physicians to practice what we preach.

Q. I was chatting with a patient about the American Cancer Society guidelines on yearly screening mammography and she asked me if doctors practice what they preach.

A. In the case of mammograms and early detection, the answer was an overwhelming “yes.”

Answering that exact question, a research article was published last June in one of the most respected Radiology journals, “American Journal of Roentgenology.” The researchers found over 98 percent of physicians who specialize in mammography recommend the test on a yearly basis to friends, family and patients.

The statistics held up regardless of whether the doctor was male or female.

Dr. Jennifer Fields

Numerous studies have shown that women are more likely to have cavities compared to men, yet overall dental health is better for women.

According to research in the Journal of Periodontology, women are almost twice as likely to have gone to the dentist in the past year.

This proactive approach leads women to have lower rates of gum disease, due to more frequent cleanings, and a higher percentage of retained permanent teeth, as women are less likely to take a “wait until it hurts” approach to dental care.

Routine checkups and cleanings are especially important for women, as changes in hormone levels may cause females to be more susceptible to dental disease. A lower flow of saliva is often found accompanying these hormonal changes. With less saliva, food and plaque may

DENTAL HEALTH

Who has better teeth, men or women? Are women genetically favored or disfavored when it comes to their oral health?

Surveys have shown that the average woman smiles 62 times per day, while the average man only smiles eight times a day.

It has also been demonstrated that women show their teeth more often than men when they smile.

It would be great to think that women are genetically blessed when it comes to their dental health; however, many are not.

A study done at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center in Berlin demonstrated that structural differences in teeth between men and women were not visible to expert eyes more than 50 percent of the time.

Environmental and systemic factors play a much larger role in determining dental outcomes between men and women.

Auburn Mountainview rallies past Lakes

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

As Auburn Mountainview’s Gresch Jensen guided the Lions into the red zone, he remembered the feeling of disappointment.

Three years ago, Jensen faced a similar scenario as quarterback of Auburn Mountainview’s C team, only to see the Lions turn the ball over on downs against Lakes at Harry Lang Stadium.

Last Friday night, a hobbled Jensen directed a different, satisfying ending by finding senior

wide receiver Vaughn Daggs on fourth-and-goal for the game-winning, 5-yard touchdown with 53 seconds remaining.

“It was a good, little revenge coming back (my) senior year and getting it,” Jensen said, following the No. 9 Lions’ dramatic 46-42 over the sixth-ranked Lancers in a South Puget Sound League 3A showdown in Lakewood.

On the game-winning drive, Auburn Mountainview’s coaching staff eschewed a short field goal and kept the offense on the field to punch it in. The Lions missed an extra point earlier in

the game.

“We were talking about it,” said Lions coach Jared Gervais. “A couple of guys wanted to do it; a couple of guys didn’t want to do it. We decided to go for it. The offense is playing pretty good, so we figured we would take a chance.”

It was a scenario that might not have come to fruition without Jensen, a senior leader and University of Montana commit who completed 24 of 44 passes for 379 yards, five touchdowns [ more FOOTBALL page 14]

Auburn Mountainview’s Rotter eyes big finish

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Mountainview’s Christian Rotter, right, hopes to achieve a top-15 finish during November’s Class 3A state meet in order to qualify for Border Clash, which is the annual showcase of the top high school runners in Washington and Oregon at the 4,387-meter course at the Nike World Headquarters Campus in Beaverton, Ore. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

Seniors often set a goal to place at the district or state meet.

Then there is Christian Rotter.

The Auburn Mountainview senior, who has run at state three times, has a loftier goal this season.

“I really want to get to Border Clash, which is the top 15 in state,” said Rotter, who was referring to the annual showcase of the top high school runners in Washington and Oregon at the 4,387-meter course at the Nike World Headquarters Campus in Beaverton, Ore. “I need to get there this year.”

Rotter thought that was an attainable goal as an underclassman. He came up a spot short when he finished 16th in 15 minutes, 50.81 seconds at the Class 3A state meet in 2013. But Rotter followed that up with a 16:12.46 effort to finish 26th at state last year.

A number of runners achieved personal-best times at state, and Rotter battled his own health issues.

“I had a cold and was sick the whole week leading up to it,” Rotter said. “I don’t think I was at my peak performance.”

Rotter is hopeful that health will not be an issue this year. But he knows the competition will remain

stiff.

“This year’s definitely going to be a challenge because there are a lot more guys running really well.”

Rotter will need to reduce his top time of the season, which was 16:03 during a regular-season meet Sept. 30, to qualify for Border Clash. His coach, Tim Tubbs, believes Rotter’s goal is achievable.

“It certainly is realistic,” he said. “He has a gear that I’ve seen on occasion that is shocking. Not shocking anymore, but surprising.

He’s very competitive.”

In addition to last year’s performance at state, Rotter said he derives motivation from knowing his time as a competitive runner almost is over. Rotter, who maintains a 4.0 grade-point average and balances a course loaded that includes three Advanced Placement classes, has committed to play soccer at Western Washington University.

Rotter, who credits his parents for getting him involved with sports, said he plans to play soccer this spring for the Lions.

He still enjoys running, but wants to follow in his mother Stephanie’s path of competing in half- and fullmarathons.

“It got to the point where I think running now is just a hobby for me,” Rotter said. “I love it, but I want to do what my mom does. I want to run half-marathons and go biking sometimes on my own. I don’t want to get into the competitive level of it.”

Regardless of Rotter’s route, he will have an admirer in Tubbs.

“Christian is an outstanding person,” said Tubbs, who noted that he was taught by Rotter’s grandfather in junior high. “Everywhere we go the opponents [ more ROTTER page 14 ]

[ FOOTBALL from page 12 ] and two interceptions.

Jensen had replaced injured free safety Gavin Robertson during the third quarter. But Jensen was sprawled out on the field with a right ankle injury after the Lions’ game-saving stop on fourthand-3 at Auburn Mountainview’s 42-yard line. On that play, junior running back Yisrael Stephens was halted for a 2-yard gain.

“It was sore,” Jensen said of his ankle. “The trainers wanted me to tape my ankle and I said, ‘No, I’ve got to get back in there. The game’s on the line.’ I do it for my teammates, and that’s all it was.”

Junior defensive back Melvin Miller intercepted Jensen on the Lions’ previous drive, and Lakes appeared content to run out the clock with a 42-40 lead. The Lancers ran the ball on 13 of 14 plays during a 7-minute, 2-second

drive.

But Auburn Mountainview (5-1 overall, 3-1 league) regained possession with just 2:59 remaining at its own 40.

It was just another challenge for the Lions, who never led during the first 47 minutes. On three separate occasions during the first half, Lakes (5-1, 3-1) led by three touchdowns.

It looked like it might be a repeat of Auburn Mountainview’s 31-12 loss Sept. 25 at Sumner. But Gervais said he never lost confidence in his team.

“We just kept battling,” he said.

“It was awesome to see them fight the whole game like that.”

The Lions accomplished that through 26 unanswered points.

Robertson had a school-record 92-yard touchdown reception when he weaved past defenders with 29 seconds remaining in the first half to reduce Auburn

Mountainview’s deficit to 42-28 at the intermission.

Jensen then finished a sevenplay drive to open the second half with an 8-yard touchdown scramble. The Lions missed the extra point but cut Lakes’ lead to 42-34.

Auburn Mountainview’s defense, which surrendered 344 yards of total offense during the first half, needed just three plays to get the Lancers off the field on the next possession when linebacker Jackson Sele intercepted Jaiave Magalei at Lakes’ 45. Sele was not even listed in the game program.

“His brother played for us last year,” Gervais said. “He was living in Hawaii and his family just moved up here a few weeks ago.

He just finally got eligible to play this week.”

That enabled the Lions to build an 11-play drive that culminated

Rotter produced a five-page essay on whether the United States should provide educational and athletic facilities to third-world countries.

“We’re so fortunate to have what we have in the U.S.,” Rotter said.

“There are so many people who don’t have those benefits.”

Rotter said researching that topic helped him decide that he wants to join an organization to aid

people in third-world countries after he graduates from WWU. “I do think it’s important to help out others,” he said. “You can’t just always look at yourself.”

But those are long-range goals.

For now, Rotter realizes he just has little time to reach the top-15 benchmark he set as a freshman.

“I kind of let it get away from me last year,” he said. “I definitely want to get back up there.”

with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Jensen to 6-foot-4 senior receiver Ryan Lacey on third-andgoal. That moved Auburn Mountainview to within 42-40 with 5:05 left in the third quarter.

That sequence helped set up an improbable Lions comeback and put them in position to strengthen their playoff position with three weeks remaining in the regular season. Auburn Mountainview, which now owns a tiebreaker against Lakes, is in second place in SPSL 3A behind Sumner (6-0, 4-0). The teams with the top four records in the league advance to the district playoffs, which begin the first week of November.

“It’s a brutal league, so that’s a huge win for us,” Gervais said.

“That sets us in a really good position to get one of those four spots.”

Scout champions anti-human trafficking movement FOR THE REPORTER

Spencer Willden is receiving his Eagle Scout award for his work in educating others about the prevalence of the human trafficking trade in the Auburn area.

Willden, 14, worked with Shared Hope International in presenting three informational meetings to raise awareness and educate community members on how to identify and guard against human trafficking.

His age is particularly important because the average age targeted by traffickers is 13.

“The purpose of my Eagle Project was to inform those who attended about the horrors of human trafficking, and how to recognize the signs and potentially save somebody’s life,” Willden said. “I wanted to help prevent it, as

VRFA invites troops to Scout Night at the Fire Station The Valley Regional Fire Authority host its annual Scout Night at the Fire Station on Oct. 28.

The people who attended realized that they may have witnessed potential trafficking risks in the past, and will be able to help prevent or report it in the future.

“Many attendees com-

mented to me about how little they knew about this danger, and how they would be able to help prevent it in the future,” he said. “Approximately 50 different attendees came across the three sessions.”

The event includes a tour of the fire station, fire safety practices, basic first aid training, cooking safety, knot tying, bicycle safety, forensics and information on how to be prepared for a disaster.

Scouts and their leaders can attend any or all of the 11 learning stations.

Firefighters and other subject matter experts will provide information on how to make their homes safe, change the batteries and test their smoke alarms, treat minor injuries, call 911 and

how to design and practice a home fire escape plan.

They also will learn emergency preparedness, tips for cooking safely and see firsthand the tools and equipment firefighters use while learning more about a career in the fire service.

To register or ask questions about the event, contact Public Information & Education Officers Kelly Tyson at 253-288-5882, or Kimberly Terhune at 253288-5881, or by email at public.info@vrfa.org.

[ ULISSEY from page 11 ] mammograms for women beginning at age 40, and I cannot for the life of me understand why the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force makes recommendations not supported by the facts. Maybe it is because not a single person on the force is qualified to read a mammogram. In my December 2014 column, “The importance of mam-

marked, “Spencer refused to take counsel from his fears as it relates to his Eagle project.

The topic (human trafficking) was a sensitive one, and fraught with difficulty in discussing with others or in influencing peers. But after learning about the potential project, he found his own conviction on it, and didn’t look back. Although he was open about his reticence to champion the topic at his school or in front of friends at church, he worked his way through those concerns and led the project anyway.

“It was a joy as a father to watch over the weeks he

carried out the project, as he went from a bit timid and hesitant, to a bold owner of the topic, openly exhorting one audience at a library what they needed to do to help protect youth from the dangers of trafficking. He really ‘owned’ the message and became a great voice .... ” Spencer attends Rainier Middle School. He passed his board of review at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Auburn. His Court of Honor is in November.

A TOTAL of 417 homeless cats and dogs found new homes during Pawsitive Alliance’s fourth annual Statewide Shelter Open House last Saturday.

Thirty-two shelters throughout the state participated, from Bellingham to Walla Walla, Spokane to Tacoma, Auburn to Yakima. An estimated 4,000 people visited the shelters during this one day event.

The goal of the event is to help the shelters grow their adopter, donor and volunteer bases while raising awareness of the good work they do on a daily basis for animals in need.

Since 2005, Pawsitive Alliance has helped more than 5,613 homeless pets find homes. To learn more, visit www.pawsitivealliance.org.

Menopause. Between the ages of 47 and 55, most women will go though menopause. During this time frame, women may experience oral changes such as a burning sensation in the oral tissue, changes in taste, and dry mouth.

After menopause, women have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis.

Many medications used to treat osteoporosis, such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, and Zometa, may cause problems with healing after dental extractions.

It is in your best interest to keep current with your dental treatment and to visit a dentist prior to starting these medications.

Women often avoid dental care at a time when they may need it the most.

A study published in the August 2015 Journal of the American Dental Association has shown that dental anesthetics show no harmful affects on developing babies at any stage of pregnancy.

Another study has stated that routine preventative, diagnostic and restorative dental treatment during pregnancy does not increase adverse postnatal outcomes. October celebrates Healthy Babies Month and Children’s Health Month, please remember to take care of

and orthodontic problems – including gaps that form between the front teeth.

Researchers examined the mouths of 52 young adults in a study published in the Journal of Periodontology and found that almost 50 percent of the participants who wore either long or short barbells (a type of tongue jewelry) for four or more years had fractured teeth.

The study also found gum recession, a problem that can lead to tooth loss, in 35 percent of those who had pierced tongues for four or more years.

Oral piercings can lead to swelling on the tongue and life threatening infections that may even close off the airway.

Pregnancy. You may have heard the old wives tale, of “gain a child, lose a tooth.�

This statement refers to the variety of hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy that may cause dental issues.

Many mothers-to-be suffer from morning sickness, which may cause them to throw-up frequently throughout the day. The acidic nature of vomit, and frequency that it is in contact with the teeth, can cause significant erosion of enamel, leading to cavities and worn-down teeth.

Resist the urge to brush your teeth right away after vomiting, as the enamel is temporarily weakened from the recent acid attack and may be abraded off by brushing. Instead, rinse with a mixture of baking soda and water, to neutralize the acidic environment in your mouth.

While pregnant, your nutritional needs and desires may change. Many pregnant women crave frequent carbohydrate snacks. The frequency of these sugary snacks is what will cause cavities to form. Better snacks include

cheese, yogurt, veggies and hummus, and nuts. During the third and fourth months of pregnancy, your baby’s teeth are developing, and research has shown a link between deficiencies in calcium, vitamins A and D, and protein in the mother’s diet to oral defects in the child. Yet another reason to focus on healthy snacks.

As a result of varying hormone levels, 40 percent of women will develop gingivitis sometime during their pregnancy, a condition called pregnancy gingivitis.

This is due to the body’s hyper-reactive response to plaque and bacteria left on the teeth and gums. Again, if left untreated, this can progress to gum disease and bone loss around your teeth. Research has shown a link between pre-term low birth weight babies and mothers with untreated gum disease. Keep your dental hygiene in check while pregnant.

If you notice a large isolated red or purple growth on your gums, often during the second trimester, you may have a pregnancy tumor. This is a non-cancerous inflammatory growth, appearing between your teeth and is thought to be related to excess plaque in the mouth.

Often pregnancy tumors
