Michael Hursh, the City of Au-burn’s director of administration, has resigned.

According to Dana Hinman, acting director of administration in Hursh’s absence, the resignation was effective

last Friday, Sept. 11. That was one month from the day

Auburn Police arrested Hursh on suspicion of driving under the influence in a City-owned vehicle. Hursh was stopped at about 2 a.m. Aug. 11 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 had served in the role since 2012, was booked into the SCORE jail. After an Aug. 11 court appearance, he was released on his personal recognizance.

According to the police report, Hursh admitted to having consumed

Gail Yamasaki smiled as children sang in the park on a sun-kissed afternoon.

It was a small but grand celebra-tion for Yamasaki, her family and the Marshallese communities of Auburn, Kent and elsewhere.

A vital state program has been fully restored – thanks to a budget agree-ment signed by Gov. Jay Inslee this summer – that will help put food on the table for many struggling, depen-dent immigrant families.

School’s first president marvels at college’s growth, successBY HEIDI SANDERS

A lot has changed on the Green River Col-lege campus since the first time Mel Lind-bloom visited the place on Auburn’s Lea Hill more than 50 years ago.

“It is amazing because at my first introduc-tion to this site, 124th Street ended in a big pile of sawdust,” said Lindbloom, who was the

college’s first president for 16 years. “There was nothing, nothing here other than forest.”

Lindbloom, now 90 and living in Lyn-nwood, returned to the college last week to attend the First 50 Breakfast, a kickoff event to the college’s 50th anniversary celebration. He reunited with friends and colleagues, toured a changing campus and took in the new student life center that will bear his name.

Spoons by the thousands bounce sunlight off the big penguin’s belly, neck and head into the bedazzled eyes of admirers.

At its webbed feet, a fat baby penguin, warm in its downy covering of forks, head tilted up, waits its next snack with open beak.

On Sept. 11, Greg Bartol, Debbie Drllevich and

Anita Schuler, leaders of a multi-artisan team in the Green River College Welding Technologies program, affixed the work, as yet without a name, to a pedestal at the corner of Riverwalk Drive Southeast and R Street, near Game Farm Park.

It will be there for a year, a celebration of local artisans and creative types, a landmark identifying the

temporary Parks, Arts and Recreation office.

To follow up the popular silverware Ostrich sculpture that was part of the Down-town Sculpture Gallery last year, members of the team challenged themselves to soar higher on their new artistic flight by making another flightless bird.

And if the horn-honkings from drivers and shout-outs from passersby were any

indication, the 10-foot tall penguin and its little one were an instant hit.

With the launching of construction on the new Community and Youth/Teen Center in Les Gove Park on Auburn’s Com-munity Campus, the Parks, Arts and Rec staff shuffled over to the Game Farm North Annex Building, 2840 Riverwalk Drive SE, where they will be until June 2016. The artwork, on loan from the artists, will be displayed during this time frame then returned to the artists.

“We do this work as a

challenge and a great learning exercise and just want to get it out there in the community” Bartol said. “We worked with the Seattle Symphony to feature the Penguin as part of their July ‘March of the Penguins’ concert and are really happy to have a local, temporary home that lots of people will be able to enjoy.”

City of Auburn Arts Co-ordinator Maija McKnight noted that the ostrich sculpture, until recently opposite Zola’s Cafe on East Main Street, was the People’s Choice. The City purchased the work and it is in storage until space can be found for it.

“We got a ton, a ton of positive comments on the ostrich,” McKnight said. “We received 600 votes for the People’s Choice, and more than 400 were for the ostrich.”

Bartol explained how team members thought it up.

“I’ve welded a lot of birds by making the feathers individually, and then we thought we’d try to use spoons to make the feath-ers. And there are tradeoffs because the spoons are a little smaller than some of the feathers we have made. But the spoons go nicely to make a nice smooth, bright, shiny image like we did on the ostrich downtown. There’s about 4,000 spoons on the front of this guy, and there are inner tubes on the back for the black feathers,” Bartol said.

Each sculpture is built around an interior steel frame.

“This is a great community collaboration, and we are thrilled to be able to show-case this great community created sculpture and help our patrons find our new temporary office location” said Daryl Faber, Parks, Arts and Rec director.

alcohol before his arrest.On Aug. 12, Hursh was

placed on indefinite admin-istrative leave pending the results of a criminal and internal investigation. The Washington Cities Insur-ance Authority conducted the internal investigation and the City of Federal Way is handling the criminal prosecution.

By the close of last week, the WCIA Authority had forwarded its report on the incident to the City. The City had been expected to use the report to make its decision on Hursh’s employment status, but he

resigned first.The director of ad-

ministration oversees all divisions that report out of the mayor’s office, such as facilities and property management, emergency management, communica-tions and multi-media and economic development.

“As far as what happens next, I have been in the acting director role and will continue to do so until Mayor Backus decides what she wants to do next,” Hin-man said.

That is likely to include a formal search for a replace-ment, for which Hinman herself could apply.

Hinman added that to ensure that the City has access to information the former administrator can provide, if need be, about his office in the coming months, it will retain him as a consultant at least through October.

Hursh had been heav-ily involved in human and veterans service work as well. Years ago, he launched a nonprofit, South County Housing and Outreach, which provides housing for women and children coming out of domestic violence. He also served as chaplain for police and fire and for the City.

Senator questions high court’s string of recent actions BY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

The state Supreme Court “missed the mark” recently when it found the voter-approved initiative that cre-ated charter schools in the state unconstitutional.

In so doing, State Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, told mem-bers of the Kiwanis Club at its Sept. 17 luncheon at Longhorn Barbecue, the high court once again revealed a troubling trend toward judicial activism.

Speaking rapidly, seam-lessly, the two-term senator placed the recent 6-3 ruling within the context of other decisions, including that on the state minimum wage and the 2012 McCleary ruling.

While Fain said he “very much agreed” with the Mc-Cleary ruling, which found that the state was not living up to its paramount duty to fund public K-12 educa-tion, he is deeply troubled by a number of the court’s other decisions.

“This particular Supreme Court has really stepped out onto the ledge in terms of its level of activism,” Fain said. “I don’t say that as a pejorative, but this court has been much more philosophical in terms of the rulings it has handed down.”

After voters approved Initiative 1240, the Teachers Union, the League of Wom-en Voters, the NAACP, Centro de la Raza and other groups got together and filed a lawsuit suit against the state to invalidate the

initiative. By that time, Fain said,

the new law was already working. Within recent weeks of his speech, he noted, seven additional charter schools had come on line. Most such schools are chartered through the state, under the aegis of the Charter School Commis-sion.

“In its recent decision, the state Supreme Court overruled an earlier King County Superior Court decision, which had said that charter schools weren’t what’s called ‘common schools,’ but that didn’t necessarily invalidate them from receiving state money just like other programs do,” Fain said.

The crux of the matter, Fain said, is the meaning of “common schools” with respect to the three state funds that provide money for schools: the common schools fund; the state tax for schools; and the Com-mon School Construction fund.

Quoting from the state constitution, Fain read the “Legislature shall provide

for a general and uniform system of public schools. The public school system shall include common schools and such high schools, normal schools and technical schools as may hereafter be estab-lished, but the entire revenue derived from the common school fund and the state tax for com-mon schools shall be used exclusively by the common schools.”

He said the Supreme Court hung its hat on that last point.

The Common School

Construction fund is dedi-cated to capital construc-tion for common schools, and King County’s earlier ruling so agreed, he said.

But the recent Supreme Court decision, he said, declared that nothing from any of the three funds can go to charter schools.

“The reason I find it a little bit troubling is that under the original constitution, even high schools are not considered common schools. That creates a question about what the framers really in-tended by the term ‘common schools,’ ” Fain said.

The larger issue, Fain continued, is that the three funds add up to about $2 billion, but existing com-mon schools in the state get more than $7 billion each year out of the budget. If that $2 billion is restricted and can’t go charter schools, no problem, he said. All of the money, plus another $5 billion, is already flowing to existing public schools.

“In my opinion what the court is saying that’s really troubling is that it doesn’t believe that either the people, serving in their legislative capacity, or the legislators, serving in their representative capacity, actually have the constitu-tional authority to decide how money gets spent,” Fain said.

By invalidating the law, Fain added, the high court created a host of unintend-ed consequences for the many other programs that act like charter schools. He said Running Start could be at risk.

“That’s money that clearly doesn’t go to a common school by any definition, but it’s receiving these basic education dollars from the general fund,” Fain said.

Fain: ruling on charter schools ‘troubling’

Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, gives his take on several issues to Kiwanians last week. The state Supreme Court’s ruling that says charter schools are unconstitutional worries the senator. ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter

CRIME ALERT

This week’s…Police Blotter

BY ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

It’s the first time in living mem-ory that such a thing has happened at a high school football game at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

And then it happened again, next night: same thing, same place.

Thefts in the home-side locker room during Auburn Riverside’s Thursday game (Sept. 10) against Gig Harbor and again on Friday during Auburn’s

game against rival Kent-Meridian.“We had some thefts, so we are

investigating, upping our security around the facility to ensure that nothing like that happens again,” Auburn Athletic Director Rob Swaim confirmed Tuesday after-noon.

Details, including how the thief or thieves got in – there were no signs of forced entry – what was taken, and a dollar figure for the losses were murky as of the time of Swaim’s comments.

The Ravens typically leave their

street clothes at Riverside High School but they may bring their headphones, cellphones and the like to the stadium and secure them in the locker room.

Memorial Stadium is Auburn’s practice facility, so there are set places for the players to lock up their belongings.

Before both games, Swaim said, security had checked to ensure the locker room was secured.

“It was discovered Thursday night, and we had outdoor security check the locker rooms, every cor-

ridor, those types of things,” Swaim said. “We went into the locker room to check the doors to the park, make sure it was all secure.”

While school investigators have possible windows of time for the thefts, Swaim said, he noted the district doesn’t have anyone sitting in the locker room during the games because teams typically don’t want somebody listening in on what’s said.

Throughout this week’s Auburn Mountainview versus Bonney Lake game, Swaim said, there

will be security in the park, in the hallways checking rooms, and Au-burn Police patrolling the parking area.

Given existing parking issues and ongoing high school con-struction, Swaim noted, people park their cars everywhere.

“With football season starting before school officially starts, you have all kinds of people coming around. We’re doing everything we can to deter it. In the years that I’ve been here, we have never had any incident like this,” Swaim said.

Ill-timed ruling disrupts our charter schools

It is appalling the ruling against charter schools was made three weeks into the school year.

The state Supreme Court had this case for almost one year, and that they waited until everything was in place and the kids were in class to announce their decision is shameful.

It is tragic to pull these kids out of their school for political reasons. The schools need to stay open until a special ses-sion of the Legislature is called or until the next regular one in January, so this can be settled in Olympia.

This school isn’t just about a STEM-based college prep education, it’s about kids who didn’t fit into a traditional school system. Listen to the other parents’ stories and you will hear many of them talk about their child being bullied, having continual illness to avoid school, being angry or withdrawn.

And now at Excel in Kent,

they are happy striving schol-ars.

What do you think will happen to these kids if their school is suddenly closed? How will they feel to return to a school that wasn’t working before, especially after being at a school that felt so good?

My intention is not to argue the merits of charter schools. This situation was set up in 2012 and the schools were allowed to open. It is only fair and right they be given a chance to regroup. It is hard

hearted to close them so abruptly without consideration to the effects on the families and the staff.

I encourage Gov. Jay Inslee to ask for a special session to be called to settle this matter with our elected officials and allow the schools to remain open until then. – Janet Hickling

Building fading away

Shocked and sad to see the deteriorating condition of a fine, old building in downtown Auburn.

What should be representa-tive of our founding families has been left vacant and un-cared for by King County.

Is it any wonder that I do in-stant recycle with all mail from King County politicians?

A group of homeless folks might be better at caring for our former Post Office next to the Auburn Avenue Theater than the overpaid people run-ning King County.– Virginia Haugen

LEARN ABOUT a proposed King County Charter Open Space Amendment update to add 4,000 acres of County-owned property to its High Conservation Value Property Inventory at two area public meetings – Sept. 22: 6-7:30 p.m. – Muckleshoot Public Library, 39917 Auburn Enumclaw Road SE (Council District 7); and Oct. 6, 6-7:30 p.m. – Maple Valley

Public Library, 21844 SE 248th St., Maple Valley (Council District 9)

The acreage that would be added in this proposed update is already owned by King County Parks and no new land would be purchased as a result of the proposed action.

In 2009, King County voters adopted

a charter amendment to preserve the conservation and passive recreation uses on 155,000 acres of King County-owned property interests that have high ecologi-cal value.

The meetings are in the King County Council districts where proposed additions to this inventory list would take place.

Parties jockey, size up 2016 race for governor

The decision of state Sen. Andy Hill not to take on Gov. Jay Inslee in 2016 has forced the Democratic Party attack machine to brake hard and return to the shop.

Its operators had invested much time into manufacturing salvos to launch at the Redmond Republican whom they presumed would be the Democratic governor’s op-ponent next fall. In recent months, these

Democratic operatives even test-fired a few in Hill’s direction.

Now they need to restock and reload for what appears to be a battle with a man they’ve mostly ignored – Bill Bryant, a mild-mannered and widely unknown

member of the GOP mainstream, who is an elected Seattle Port commissioner.

As elated as the Democratic muscle is with not having to tackle Hill, it’s hard not to imagine them – and maybe Inslee, too – suf-fering a bit of a letdown as well.

They expected the governor would face as tough an election in 2016 as he did in 2012. Yet one-by-one, those with the seeming potential to mount such a challenge have chosen not to do so.

Rob McKenna, who lost to Inslee in 2012, signaled he wasn’t seeking a rematch. State Sens. Bruce Dammeier of Puyallup and Steve Litzow of Mercer Island have also said no.

Congressman Dave Reichert is still talking himself up for the race but seems unlikely to talk himself into it.

If Bryant winds up the Democratic Party’s chief target, it means he’s also the Republican Party’s torchbearer.

That’s going to take some getting used to for GOP leaders. Unseating Inslee is a top priority but they, much like Democrats, had kind of counted on having a better known personality taking on the governor.

Republican leaders must decide how much the state party will invest in a Bryant bid. There’s a risk that anything perceived to be less than all-in will be deemed a conces-sion that they don’t believe Bryant can win.

In 2012, the party contributed $2 mil-lion directly to the McKenna campaign and another $500,000 of in-kind contributions, according to campaign finance reports filed with the Public Disclosure Commission.

Nearly all of that arrived in the general election, so there’s plenty of time to watch how Bryant’s campaign evolves and political events unfold.

built in 1971 in his name. Students voted last spring to name the new center in his honor.

His work on behalf of the college began in 1962 when he was an as-sistant superintendent under Superin-dendent Hayes Holman.

“One of my jobs was to do the work to get the college going,” Lindbloom said. “Hayes had already developed a citizens’ committee of people interest-ed in the college. There was a matter of that committee and others to convince the Legislature to allow more commu-nity colleges to be built.”

Under state law, community col-leges, then called junior colleges, could not be built in a county where there was already a four-year university. In 1961, that law was changed, effectively paving the way for colleges like Green River. In 1962, the state authorized Green River Community College to open in the fall of 1965.

Tough go at firstLindbloom, who was named presi-

dent of the college in 1964, said getting the college started was no easy task.

“Ray Needham (the college’s first dean of instruction) and I, along with one of the architects, tramped through brush and found the corners of the buildings on the original master plan,” Lindbloom said. “I just didn’t think it is was going to happen. There was so much to do.”

Lindbloom recalled his opening comment to faculty: “Now what do we do?”

Since the college opened its doors 50 years ago, it has served thousands of students and conferred about 64,000 degrees.

“I say to Green River College, ‘You’ve come a long way, baby,’” Lind-bloom said during the breakfast. “The expansion of the college has just been amazing. I attribute that to the leader-ship of the college.”

Lindbloom is most proud of the col-lege’s commitment to serving students. One motto he took seriously during his presidency was “think student, then decide.”

“The element that I am really proud of is the commitment to the worth and dignity of students, and that has been proven over and over,” he said. “It is a

great place, and I am very proud of it.” Lindbloom, who served on a Navy

destroyer in the Pacific during World War II, advocated for students during the Vietnam War. Students could defer military service if they were attending college full-time.

Lindbloom recalled that one mother from Kent whose son had been killed in the Vietnam War, donated his $10,000 life insurance payout to the college’s scholarship fund.

Needham served as Lindbloom’s “right-hand man” during the creation of the college and for its first few years.

Needham and Lindbloom met when they were students at Washington State University, Lindbloom working on his doctorate, Needham on his master’s degree.

“We were just a few doors apart in the dorms together. I used to see Mel every morning when we were shav-ing,” Needham said.

A few years later they reunited in Auburn.

Needham left Green River in 1970 and went on to serve as president at colleges in Oregon and North Carolina before retiring from Tacoma Com-munity College. He attributes his success as a college president to what he learned from Lindbloom.

“I think I did a lot of things like he did,” Needham said. “He believed in people. He believed in students. He believed in being honest in the way he worked with the board. I watched him all the time that I was here.”

Lindbloom adhered to a hands-on leadership style, Needham said.

“One technique he taught me was administration by walking around, so I spent a lot of time during my presidencies just visiting faculty, going to the student center, listening to what students had to say …,” Needham said. “He (Lindbloom) usually taught a class in education, and I did that.”

Lindbloom retired as Green River’s president in 1980. James Chadbourne was the college’s second president before Rich Rutkowski took over the post in 1984. Rutkowski retired in 2010 and was replaced by current president Eileen Ely.

The college’s golden anniversary celebration continues with events throughout the school year. For more information on upcoming events, visit Greenriver50th.org.

For five years, families, local leaders and anti-hun-ger advocates fought deep cuts in the State Food As-sistance program, claiming those cuts unfairly bur-dened immigrant families.

But those families spoke up. The Children’s Alliance – a strategic organization working for families and children – stepped in, as did other agencies, organi-zations and legislators.

“Without the Alliance, we would not have been able to get this done,” said Yamasaki, of Auburn, celebrating the victory at Veterans Memorial Park with family and friends, and local and state leaders last Saturday. “It looks like it’s really paid off. We really appreciate what they’ve done for us.”

People from the Marshall Islands are governed by an arrangement between the U.S. and their country that

allows them to live and work in America, generally without a visa. But under changes to welfare laws in the late 1990s, Marshallese immigrants couldn’t receive federal food stamps.

The state came up with the food program to sup-port the Marshallese and other groups who hadn’t been in the country long enough to qualify for food stamps. The program strate-gically leverages resources to make sure food stamps reach thousands of children in immigrant families.

But with program cuts of the past, especially those in the throes of the Great Recession, area families struggled to eat and meet basic needs.

But that changed with the 2015-17 state operat-ing budget, which makes significant investments in children and families.

Paola Maranan, executive director of the Children’s Alliance, thanked the

many voices who called for the full restoration of the program.

“Through those years, you have led the way, from parents, grandparents and youths who courageously spoke the truth about your own experiences, to grassroots organizations that stood in solidarity with families, to service provid-ers and food bank providers that spoke up for equity, to legislators who advocated among your own colleagues to right this wrong,” Ma-ranan said.

Northwest Harvest and the Auburn Food Bank were among the many advocates that joined the campaign.

Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, and Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, among others, made a push in the Legislature.

“From sitting in the Kent Library and listening to families and parents and kids talking about how

important this program is, it truly called me to action and to help get this done,” Fain told the crowd.

Sullivan applauded the efforts but said more work

needs to be done for strug-gling families throughout the state.

“We can’t stop here. We need to continue to push for programs and services,

whether it’s State Food As-sistance, whether it’s other human services, whether it’s health care, whether it’s education for our children,” he said.

Meanwhile, those guiding the Republican Governors Association are hashing through the same

kinds of questions.In 2012, the RGA made

its presence felt in Wash-ington when it shelled out roughly $9 million in ads and mailers against Inslee. RGA officials have yet to

signal a willingness to ex-pend that much again.

They, too, want to see if Bryant’s campaign can raise money and build an orga-nization capable of taking on – and taking down – an

incumbent governor in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 35 years.

Bryant on Monday picked up the endorsement of Dan Evans, a former three-term Republican governor. Backing from another venerable Republi-

can is due to be announced next week.

Bryant’s aides say the campaign is exactly where it is supposed to be at this stage.

Still, this is not how lead-ers of the Grand Old Party envisioned the campaign would be playing out.

Neither did the Demo-crats.

Our year-long look at the possible connections between oral health and overall health is once again on a topic that hit our office close to home this year.

My father-in-law, Charles, passed away in April with the double diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Charles was not able to travel to my dental office in the last 18 months of his life, so we did what we could to keep his mouth healthy during our visits.

Even as a trained dentist, it was sometimes difficult to get dad to understand why I needed him to open his mouth, and stay open, instead of biting down on his Sonicare toothbrush.

Later, as it became more and more difficult for him to swallow, it became impor-tant not to use much tooth-paste. Eventually, it seemed better to dip his brush in a little mouthwash, since it is anti-bacterial and doesn’t foam like toothpaste, which

was leading to choking at times.

As the disease progressed, we began to wet a baby washcloth with warm water and wipe out his mouth before brushing to remove

the food debris that he was no longer able to clear out with his tongue on his own. I was able to provide him with fluoride varnish treatments on a regular basis, and we were able

to keep his teeth and gums relatively healthy until he passed away, in spite of all the challenges.

Dental care for an Al-zheimer’s patient, whether at home with a spouse or in an institutional setting, can be a daunting task, on top of ev-erything else. As Alzheimer’s progresses, the person with dementia may forget how to brush his or her teeth entirely or forget why it’s im-portant. As a caregiver, you will eventually have to take a more hands-on approach.

Maintaining their oral health is necessary to

prevent tooth decay, tooth loss and periodontal disease, which will lead to eating dif-ficulties, digestive problems and infections that may spread to other areas of the body through the blood-stream.

Here are a few more tips on how to best help a loved one who has more advanced Alzheimer’s and is no longer able to independently care for their mouth:

Keep your instructions short and simple. Break it into steps. Simply say-ing “brush your teeth” is unlikely to be effective anymore. Instead, walk them through a step at a time. “Hold the toothbrush.” “Put a little toothpaste on it.” “Brush the top teeth.” “Brush the bottom teeth.” “Spit in the sink.”

You may have to actu-ally put your hand over the person’s hand, gently guiding the brush. If the person seems agitated or won’t cooperate, don’t force it. Postpone brushing until later in the day.

Ideally, you should brush the person’s teeth at least

twice a day, with the last brushing after the last food of the evening. If they need a nighttime liquid medica-tion, make sure you at least rinse thoroughly afterward, as many of them can cause tooth decay.

Make sure you allow plenty of time and find a comfortable position if you must do the brushing your-self. If they are in a wheel-chair that has a reclining feature, or they spend time in a recliner, that can work very well.

Brushing does not have to occur in the bathroom, especially if you use very small amounts of toothpaste. Consider using one of the inexpensive elastic band headlights you can find at most hardware stores, and place the toothbrush in the person’s mouth at a 45-de-gree angle so you massage gum tissue as you clean the teeth. If the person wears dentures, rinse them with plain water after meals and brush them daily to remove food particles.

FOR THE REPORTER

Breast Diagnostic Centers encourage women to take charge of their health while sup-porting a local nonprofit in October, Breast Can-cer Awareness Month.

Empowered for Life: Women Standing Up for Early Detection is a month-long event cre-ated to educate women on the value of annual mammograms begin-ning at age 40 and raise awareness for the im-portance of early breast cancer detection.

The theme is not just an annual message at Breast Diagnostic, which opened in 1980. Drs. Tim Blackwelder and Mike Ulissey reiter-ate the critical impor-tance of early detection on a regular basis. Both doctors speak to com-munity organizations and business groups as part of the company’s education and outreach program.

“Early detection saves

lives. Yearly mammo-grams save more lives,” Ulissey said.

Breast Diagnostic was the first center in the region to offer 3D mam-mography to all patients and leads the industry in patient-focused care.

Empowered for Life runs Oct. 1-31 at Breast Diagnostic’s Federal Way and Auburn offices. Patients who come in for any exam during the month will be entered to win a prize for taking a proactive approach to health.

Additionally, paper dolls will be available for purchase to either honor or remember a loved one who has faced breast cancer. Paper dolls are $1 to display in a Breast Diagnostic office or $5 for a feature on the company’s web-site and social media channels.

All proceeds will be donated to Valley Girls and Guys.

Each night, remove them and soak in a cleanser or mouthwash. Then, use a soft toothbrush or baby washcloth moistened in warm water to clean their gums and tongue.

While caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is fraught with challenges in its later stages, there is another component to this subject that should catch the attention of people of all ages.

Studies have found that people with poor oral hygiene or gum disease could be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s later in life, compared with those who have healthy gums.

Researchers from the Univer-sity of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom, discovered the presence of a specific bacteria usually associated with chronic periodontal disease in the brain tissue samples of patients who had dementia when they were alive.

While a direct cause and effect link has not yet been proven, stud-ies do indicate that it is biologi-cally plausible for oral bacteria to make their way to the brain via the bloodstream, and either cause an infection or make an existing infec-tion worse.

Another theory is that the bacteria do not actually physically infect the brain, but instead cause a systemic inflammatory response that can lead to injury of healthy brain tissue through the inflam-

matory response of the body to the bacteria.

No matter which mechanism, or a combination of the two may one day be proven correct, the result is the same. It seems clear that, like many things in life, prevention and early intervention in regards to chronic inflamma-tory conditions like periodontal disease are critical to reducing your risk of a whole host of health problems later in life, including Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease, and has been called “the long goodbye.” Let’s do all we can to say goodbye to the increasing numbers of people being diag-nosed with this disease by fighting it in every way possible.

Auburn falls to K-M in Taylor Trophy classic; Peninsula nextBY MARK KLAAS

[email protected]

Two tough games, two difficult losses.

But Auburn coach Gor-don Elliott sees progress in his young football team as it steps into South Puget Sound League 3A play on Friday.

Next test? Defend-ing champion Peninsula. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Gig Harbor’s Roy Anderson Field.

“I’d much rather (play good teams) than play two cupcakes and not know where you are,” Elliott said af-ter his Trojans gave up a late touchdown to rival Kent-Me-ridian in a 41-36 nonleague loss last Friday night.

Auburn opened with a 32-21 loss to Mountain View of Vancouver in the Emerald City Kick-off Classic on Sept. 5 at Husky Stadium. Thunder and lightning delayed the

game for two hours and 20 minutes.

“We played two really good football teams and hung in there with them,” Elliott said. “I think that will help our inexperienced kids.

“We get one more week to get better. We obviously have to get better.”

Last Friday, in a back-and-forth, penalty-marred affair, the big-play Royals (1-1) overcame the Trojans to retain the Taylor Trophy.

“It’s a pretty big deal ever since we got competitive again the last couple of

years,” Royals coach Brett Allen said as his jubilant players hoisted the storied trophy after their last-min-ute win at Auburn Memo-rial Stadium. “The games

Stryker Phd captures Cup thrillerFOR THE REPORTER

Stryker Phd was handed a tough assign-ment last Sunday in the $60,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic at Emer-ald Downs.

But once again, the champion would not be denied.

Tested the length of the stretch by Noosito, Stryker Phd showed his mettle with a hard-fought three-quarter length vic-tory in 1:40.75 for 1 1/16 miles. Ridden by Leslie Mawing at 124 pounds – six more than his four rivals – Stryker Phd paid $2.40, $2.10 and $2.10.

Noosito, ridden by Juan Gutierrez, took a brief lead while three-deep into the stretch, but was immediately tackled by Stryker Phd, and the two Washing-ton-breds locked horns to the wire, with Stryker Phd a tad better.

have been good, so the rivalry has been re-energized a little bit.”

Kent-Meridian had endured a 15-game losing streak to Auburn in the state’s second-oldest series before it snapped that skid with a 42-39 overtime win at French Field last year.

The Royals overcame another drama in the rivalry last week, evening the series, which began in 1908, at 50-50 with six ties.

Behind a quick-strike offense and Shamar Malik Woolery’s powerful running, the Royals were able to get it done.

“We beat an unbelievably good Auburn team,” said K-M junior quarterback Ben Woods, who passed for 290 yards and a pair of long touchdowns to Emmanual Daigbe.

Woolery, a jitterbug of a running back, did his part, rushing for 90 yards and a personal-best four TDs. The 5-foot-8, 155-pound senior blasted up the middle from 25 yards out to score the game-winning TD with 57.3 seconds left in the game.

Woolery overcame cramps, bumps and bruises to give the Royals’ spread offense some ground support. He also scored earlier from 6, 17 and

33 yards out.“Pound for pound, he’s our stron-

gest player,” Allen said of Woolery.Auburn had taken a 36-35 lead on

Caden Borden’s 23-yard field goal with 1:31 left on the clock before the Royals countered quickly, with Woods directing the show.

Woods found Woolery for one reception that covered 26 yards to Auburn’s 40-yard line. He then hit

Daigbe for 15 yards to the 25. On the next play, Woolery vaulted up the middle to score the game-winning TD.

Auburn’s playmakers shone in the loss.

Malik Williams returned a kick-off 95 yards for a touchdown, ran for one score and caught another. Quarterback Justin Ioimo ran for 120 yards and two TDs and passed for 172 yards and another TD.

Kevin Clay had 108 yards rushing.

Auburn scrambled back from a 21-7 deficit behind Ioimo’s 1-yard scoring keeper just before halftime to pull within 21-14. William’s 2-yard run midway in the third quarter cut K-M’s lead to 21-20. The conversion failed.

After Woolery’s third TD run, Williams returned the ensuing kickoff for a score, keeping the

Trojans close at 28-26.However, the Woods-to-Daigbe

scoring connection covered 69 yards, giving the Royals a 35-26 lead.

Ioimo’s 1-yard keeper brought the Trojans to within 35-33 with 7:35 left in the game, setting the stage for a wild and furious finish.

“We just ran out of time,” Elliott said. “(K-M’s) a very good team. It’s

tough to outscore that kind of team because they have weapons. We got into that kind of match with them. Nor-mally, that’s not our style of football. We got into a situation where we had to outscore them. We almost got it done.”

Noosito paid $2.40 and $2.10.

With the victory, Stryker Phd tied Stopshoppingdeb-bie’s track record of eight straight stakes wins, a streak that began two years ago with a victory in the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, and includes the last two Longacres Miles.

A 6-year-old gelding by Bertrando-Striking Scholar, Stryker Phd is 9-5-5 in 22 career starts, and earned $30,000 to leapfrog Captain Condo into No. 8 all-time among Washington-breds with $515,651. Larry Ross is the winning trainer for owners Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue.

In his last eights starts at Emerald Downs, 8-8-0-0 with $386,180 in earnings.

“He’s a very special horse, no doubt about it,” a tearful Sharon Ross said in the winner’s circle.

Other Cup racesKama’aina Thoroughbreds’ Madame

Pele etched her name in the record book last Sunday, becoming the first horse in the 13-year history of the event to win three Washington Cup races. Bursting to the lead in deep stretch, Madame Pele scored a 2¼-length victory over Among the Stars in the $50,000 Comcast SportsNet Stakes for older fillies and mares. Lady Rosberg, the prohibitive 3-to-1 favorite, staged a late rally and edged Citizen Kitty for third place. Ridden by Juan Gutierrez, Madame Pele ran 6½ furlongs in 1:15.69 and paid $10.40, $5.60 and $2.60. In fact, all of the winning connections are No. 1 in Washington Cup wins – Jim Penney is No. 1 among trainers with nine, Gutierrez is tops among jockeys with 18, and Madame Pele is the only horse with three wins. …

In the day’s biggest upset, Redsolo-cup got a rail-skimming ride from Jose

Zunino and held off Absolutely Cool for a half-length victory in the $50,000 Chinook Pass Sprint Stakes for 3-year-olds and up. Redsolocup ran 6½ furlongs in 1:14.52 and paid $49.40, $13.20 and $6.80. Jeff Metz is the winning trainer for Tim Floyd’s Warlock Stables….

Invested Prospect opened a long early lead and held off Cape Grace for a neck victory in the $50,000 Northwest Farms Stakes for 2-year-old fillies. Invested Prospect ran six furlongs in 1:10.26 and paid $3.80, $2.80 and $2.20. Blaine Wright is the winning trainer for owners John and Janene Maryanski and Riverbend Farm. …

Running the fastest six furlongs of the meet, Mach One Rules scored a dominating 4¾-length victory in the $50,000 Captain Condo Stakes for 2-year-old colts and geldings. Unde-feated in three starts with two stakes wins, Mach One Rules ran six furlongs in 1:08.31 – besting the previous season mark of 1:08.33 – and paid $5, $3 and $2.20. The winning connections – Maw-ing, trainer Frank Lucarelli and owner R.E.V. Racing – also won the race last year with Trackattacker.

FOR THE REPORTER

Lea Hill residents have teamed up to help the fami-ly of Justin Lazara, a 3-year-old boy who is undergoing chemotherapy for rare malignant and aggressive brain and brain-stem cancers.

TeamJustin recently completed a project to pro-vide Justin with a worry-free, secure backyard to play in while he is in treatment. Residents also have organized fundrais-ing events to help Justin’s family cover the costs of his treatments.

Justin has primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), rare and malig-nant forms of cancer that usually occur in children. He faces six months of on-off chemotherapy at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where doctors will harvest his stem cells to be used for treatment.

Justin’s father, Adam, said doctors will treat Justin

with proton radiation ther-apy, which precisely targets tumors without damaging surrounding tissue. They hope to shrink the tumors so they can eventually oper-

ate on two of Justin’s three tumors.

“We have a tough battle ahead of us,” said Adam, an out-side sales executive for a large provider of Internet, phone and video services. “Justin’s cancer is surreal – it’s

devastating. I try to remove myself. It’s like a one-in-a-million chance, so why us?

“Justin has a really great attitude. He’s a happy boy, with an ‘I’m-never-going-to give-up attitude.’”

April has left her job as a nurse at a local correctional facility to help care for her son.

“I’m not the type who asks for help, but in this case, I think it would be wise to embrace it for the benefit of my family,” Adams said. “If nothing else, (it’s important) to raise

awareness that there are kids and families out there figuring out these battles.”

A Just for Justin bake sale is Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the Ar-thur Jacobsen Elementary School gymnasium, 29205 132nd Ave. SE, Auburn.

The sale, sponsored by the Willow Park Home-owners Association, will include baked goods provided by concerned Lea Hill-area residents and local businesses. Donors include the Gene Juarez Academy cosmetology schools in Federal Way and Mount-lake Terrace, the Auburn Mountainview High School cheer squad, Seattle’s Favorite Cookies, Legend-ary Doughnuts, MyHOA-Online.com and Arthur Jacobsen Elementary.

In addition to the bake sale, the Gene Juarez Acad-emy has donated 100 free shampoo-haircut-and-blow dry cards to benefit the family.

To purchase cards before the event, to donate to the cause or to obtain more information, email [email protected].

Donations also may be made at any Chase Bank Branch to the Justin Lowell Lazara Donation Account.
