A group of Revolutionary War reenactors marches in the 47th annual Auburn Veteran’s Day Parade this past Saturday on Main Street. The parade honors the men and women who have served their country in the armed forces. This year’s parade featured more than 200 entries, including 30 marching bands, local Junior ROTC units, honor guards, military units, drill teams and antique military vehicles. The event kicked off with a fly-over by a U.S. Air Force C-17. For more pictures see page 14. RAChel CiAMPi, Auburn Reporter

Auburn honors veterans

By ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

A fly over, bands playing, tiny flags snapping in the wind, whoops and hollers from specta-tors — tokens of appreciation and gratitude from Americans to Americans.

In its 40 years, Auburn’s Veterans Day parade has swelled into a two-and-half hour extravaganza of sight and sound, of tanks, guns, bands, bag-pipes, a magnet for veterans groups and spectators throughout the Northwest.

Just to march down Auburn’s Main Street on Saturday, however, the former soldiers and sailors of one veterans organization had to fight again, not in muck, mire and slop but in a courtroom.

The City of Auburn had denied the Veterans For Peace permission to march, selecting only those applicants that most closely met the purpose and goals of the parade. Late Friday a US District court in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order against the City, allowing the veterans to march.

Auburn high school bond topping supermajority

Proposition 1, the $110 million Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction Bond, has finally, on its third try, topped that high bar known as the supermajority.

As of Tuesday morning, the combined totals of King and Pierce counties stood at 61.9 percent.

If this keeps up, the district will build a new Au-burn High School, replacing the present structure, which has stood since 1950.

A large number of ballots remain to be counted, but from the first count shortly after 8 p.m. Nov. 6, the trend has been to add votes. As Superintendent Herren noted, post-election trends historically add a percentage point or two to election night numbers.

“The returns look favorable,” Herren said. “I’ve got a cigar in my hand, but I’m not able to light it.”

Whether or not the City of Pacific’s insurance carrier drops its coverage in the current turmoil and Pacific ceases to exist as a city, the Valley Regional Fire Authority will go on.

Residents of Auburn, Algona and Pacific es-tablished the boundaries of the Valley Regional Fire Authority by vote in 2006 to serve their cities, and regardless of a change in government involving any of the three member cities, the boundaries stay as they are.

“It doesn’t make any difference, the boundar-ies don’t change,” Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis said last week.

If the VRFA member in Pacific no longer ex-ists, the VRFA’s attorney would seek advice from the state on whether or not any other members

King County Flood Control District provides $41 million for 14 critical regional projects

By TRACEy COMPTON

[email protected]

A resource for the hun-gry will now be centered in South King County.

The Emergency Feed-ing Program of Seattle, King County is now operating their main warehouse out of the for-mer Greenfresh Market building in Renton.

The nonprofit orga-nization provides 2,000 bags of food a month to the hungry countywide. The program is leasing the space for two years from St. Vincent de Paul, which purchased the building last October to expand its services in the fall of 2014.

The Emergency Feed-ing Program has been open a couple of weeks and continues to facili-tate groups of volunteers to pack their bags of food.

Young people from a City of Mercer Island volunteer program re-cently donated their time to pack bags and orga-nize.They are just one of the many groups that routinely help the pro-gram with their efforts.

There is no direct client distribution from the warehouse. It is an assembly, storage and distribution site to other agencies that provide food to clients.

Last year in Renton, 1,650 emergency food bags were delivered to partners at Aging and Disability Services, the Renton Department of Social and Health Servic-es, St. Matthew’s Church, Harambee Church and Daystar Baptist Church. The program provided 513 bags of food to households in Auburn, and 1,408 to those in Kent through distribu-tion partners in those cities.

“The need out there in the community is pretty great, and it doesn’t re-ally go down ever,” said Brian Anderson, opera-tions director. “It’s pretty much a constant need for folks to make sure there’s enough food on the table for their families.”

About one in five households in the state are struggling in this situation, said Anderson about the last estimate he recalls.

The program expe-rienced a 56 percent increase in the number of people requesting food between 2007 and 2010, he said.

“Over the last couple of years, I got to tell you, it has been a struggle to keep up with those re-quests,” Anderson said.

The Emergency Feed-ing Program is different from a traditional food bank. The clients that are served through other agencies by the program, typically have other as-sistance.

These clients could be on food stamps or going to a food bank on a regu-lar basis. The Emergency Feeding Program satisfies an immediate need for food in a crisis situation.

The program also is customized to meet the dietary and cultural needs of the clients.

There are 15 differ-ent versions of the bags they distribute. There are small, medium and large bags for different household sizes. There are diabetic, vegan/lactose-intolerant and all liquid diet bags. There are three different types

of bags for people who don’t have access to a kitchen. There are two kinds of infant bags. And finally, there is a Latino, Asian and East African bag to fit the cultural needs of those new to this country.

“The idea is that it’s really not good enough to just give somebody something to eat,” An-derson said. “You want to be thoughtful about it. You want to give them something that suits their nutritional needs and takes into account their medical conditions and frankly their cultural preferences.”

The program was start-ed in 1977 and based on a study by a University of Washington nutritionist.

The study found that the quality of food at food banks varied based on the affluence of the community where food banks were located. It also recognized the dif-ficulty of a family to get nutritionally balanced food at a food bank in a single trip.

REPORTER STAFF

Preparing for a predicted wet flood season, the King County Flood Control District Board of Supervi-sors this week adopted a 2013 budget totaling $41 million.

They also adopted a six-year capital improvement program (CIP) that will guide the Flood Control District’s flood risk reduc-tion activities into the future.

The budget funds 14 major levee rehabilitation projects across King Coun-ty, provides over $3.7 mil-lion to 40 jurisdictions for local flooding and storm-water projects through the Flood Control District’s Opportunity Fund and improves flood awareness, response programs and facility maintenance.

Specific project examples across King County to be implemented over 2013-18 include:• Reddington levee

(Auburn): $12 million to construct a setback levee

that protects nearly 600 developed parcels with an assessed value of more than $680 million.• Levee improvements

(Kent and Renton): $30 million to make improve-ments to levees protecting dense commercial, indus-trial, and manufacturing areas in Kent and Renton.• Elliott Bay Seawall (Se-

attle): $28 million to help rebuild the failing seawall that protects Downtown Seattle.• Coal Creek Channel

Improvements (Bellevue): $8.5 million to reduce flood risks along Coal Creek.• South Fork Snoqualmie

Levee (Upper Snoqualmie): $8.7 million to reconstruct sections of the levees that protect residential and commercial areas of North Bend.• Home Elevations (Up-

per and Lower Snoqualm-ie): $6.2 million to acquire or elevate at-risk homes in and around the cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend and $2.3 million to reduce risks to home and

agricultural operations in the Lower Snoqualmie.• Sinnema Quale Revet-

ment (Lower Snoqualmie): Over $3.3 million to recon-struct a failing revetment that protects SR 203 and the Snoqualmie Valley Trail near Carnation.

“Since its creation in 2008, the Flood Control District has been work-ing to reduce flood risks, successfully completing 63 projects throughout King County,” stated Board Chair Julia Patterson. “Adoption of this budget ensures additional criti-cal levee projects will be implemented, protecting people, property, and the regional economy. These efforts would have taken over 20 years to complete without Flood Control District funding.”

Kathy Lambert, an ex-ecutive committee member, recognized district actions that have benefited her council district, the most frequently flooded area in the county.

“The District has com-

pleted 30 flood damage re-pairs, 40 buyouts of at-risk homes, 50 home and barn elevations, and provided support for 26 farm pads. These activities move residents and businesses out of harm’s way, and al-low farmers to safely move livestock and equipment to higher ground during flood events.”

In addition to flood prevention projects and ac-tivities, the budget provides $3.15 million in funding to

improve water quality, pro-tect and restore habitat and support salmon recovery efforts in four King County

watersheds.To learn more, visit

would be seated at the table.The upshot is that King County would

assume responsibility for collecting taxes in the newly unincorporated area.

“The tax base is still there, it would just change to the county having taxing authority upon the base. The county would collect all the county taxes,” Lewis said.

Calls to King County were not returned for this article.

With a Dec. 31 deadline for cancellation of Pacific’s insurance rapidly approaching, City officials there have been scrambling to find ways to stave off the City’s possible disincorporation.

If the City cannot comply with the requests of its insurance carrier – which demanded in a July letter that critical vacant City Hall positions be filled – then it would be forced to operate without insurance be-ginning Jan. 1. Without insurance, employ-ees and officials could be personally liable for City actions.

Mayor Cy Sun has fired many key person-nel since taking office in January. Despite the recent hiring for several key vacancies – including city clerk, finance director and community services director – the issue of disincorporation is still on the table.

Ultimately, city officials hope to conform to the insurance carrier’s demands and continue to operate with insurance or find another carrier.

Michelle Kinnucan, a member of The Greater Seattle Chapter of Veter-ans For Peace, noted that the group had participat-ed in the Auburn Veterans Day Parade since 2006

“Some of the leader-ship of the City of Auburn didn’t want us, and if you read the documents the City filed with the court, their main objection was that we are anti war and pro peace veterans. Anyone else is welcome to march in the parade, but

some veterans don’t like others who are anti-war and pro peace,” Kinnucan said.

Kinnucan said she heard a lot of applause for her group.

“There were a few people that weren’t happy, but in past years we always had a good reception, and we had another one here. I think that the City might be a little out of tune with the attitudes of people who live here,” Kinnucan said.

Other veterans had a different take.

“My understanding … was that they are an anti-war protest group, and that’s not what we are looking to do,” Scott Pondelik, an Iraq war veteran said, as the parade flowed past. “It’s more like honoring our veterans and honoring those who served … Yes, it is their right, but the timing of it is a little wrong.”

One veteran grumbled, “They shouldn’t be in it. Next year it’ll be the Hell’s Angels or some other group.”

“Look, if they didn’t love their country, they wouldn’t have wanted to be in the parade,” a member of Inter Tribal Warriors Society said in passing.

Veterans For Peace (VFP) is a national organi-zation that seeks to honor the nation’s veterans and active military person-nel to promote peace and decrease U.S. military involvement in foreign conflicts. In its work, the organization works to honor soldiers by using

and guarding constitution-al freedoms that military personnel swore to defend in their oaths of enlist-ment and office.

“As the judge pointed out in her ruling, freedom of speech is one of the very freedoms that our veterans have fought to defend around the world,” ACLU-WA legal direc-tor Sarah Dunne said in a press release.

The ACLU-WA repre-sented the Veterans for

Peace.The court agreed with

the suit’s assertion that the City of Auburn was discriminating against VFP because of the group’s viewpoint. In sponsor-ing the parade, the City is creating a space for private groups to speak on the topic of veterans on the occasion of Veterans Day. VFP is clearly a veter-ans group, and the court found that its mission is not inconsistent with the

purpose and goals of the parade.

Further, the court agreed with the lawsuit’s contention that the City of Auburn’s rules governing which groups are allowed to march in the govern-ment-sponsored parade are unconstitutionally broad and vague. The rules impermissibly allow deci-sions about applications to be made on the subjective beliefs of an ad hoc group of officials and residents.

There’s a lot more votes to be counted.”

“Last year,” said Deputy Superintendent Mike New-man, “we began with 56.89 and ended up with 58.40, a net movement of 2,709 votes, from election night to certification.”

Certification is Nov. 27.The election night numbers

represented some 42 percent

of the ballots King County and elections officials sent out.

When the district first ran the bond in 2009, it garnered 46 percent of the vote, 14 percentage points below the supermajority.

District officials say the aging high school is no longer cost-effective to operate and maintain. Critically needed repairs include leaking roofs, poor air quality and ventilation

and outdated classrooms and labs. Those geezer systems are costing the district $250,000 more in energy costs per year than all the other schools combined.

“It needs replacing badly,” said Dr. Harold Valentine, who taught English at AHS for many years.

Plans for the new school show a construction footprint extending north from East

Main over today’s tennis courts and parking lot toward the Per-forming Arts Center. Accord-ingly, all community activities — ball park, pool, gym, the PAC and the stadium — would be clustered on the north side of the campus.

Buses would enter from East Main Street and load or unload entirely on campus, a safety improvement over the traffic that today spills onto 4th Street, tying up traffic and endangering lives, Herren said.

Plans call for the PAC to get a new lobby, one facing 4th Street. The lobby would provide handicapped access to the top floor, the stage and the upstairs bathrooms. All of the school’s music programs would be tied to the PAC.

The three-story, red brick school would be set 100-feet back from East Main.

Ultimately the district would level the old high school, replacing it with a 600-stall parking lot, 300 more parking places than are available today. Without the high school in the way of the PAC, people coming for a performance could spot the building more easily.

To the patter of drums and the blare of horns, the oom pa-pa of tubas and the thunderous roar of motorcycles, veterans with comrades at their sides made their way down Auburn’s Main Street Saturday to the approval of onlookers.

Some of the most frail among them, perhaps WWII veterans who could no longer walk Auburn’s Veterans Day Parade route, waved from cars and jeeps.

An image filled the eyes. Then the moment passed, the eye moved on.

It’s easy to forget that in their youths, as Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote of his Civil War generation, the hearts of the frailer ser-vice members “were touched with fire.”

Annie McDonald served 22 months as a nurse with the US Army, much of it in the European theater. Her service was one of the defining experiences of her long life.

McDonald, who as of Saturday, had reached 95 years, was content to sit in the passenger seat of a Jeep, a blanket over her legs to protect her from the bite of the November day.

After the Empire of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, McDonald was one among a group nurses at King County Hospital in Seattle who decided join the US Army and help the nascent war effort.

McDonald, then 24, and her fellow nurses took time getting organized but finally they got their stuff together and made their way to King Street Station in Seattle before heading off for 15 months of toughening at Camp Carson, Colo.

“Training, training, training,” McDonald recalled.

The drill sergeant under the direction of a Col. Buckner — McDonald has forgotten first name— put the greenhorns through the same sort of hardships that troops undergo on the front lines.

“We had to crawl under gun fire, and if you raised your head, too bad for you. You don’t raise your head. We’d crawl on our bel-lies until we got over to a little ditch, and we had to fall in that ditch length wise. We

Humorist Will Rogers once noted that “politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.” If he could only see it now.

Estimates put the cost of the recent presidential race at $2.6 billion. That means one side spent more than $1 bil-lion only to lose. We’d hope there was a lesson there – but we doubt it.

If the public were to believe the unending direct mail pieces flood-ing mailboxes, countless robo-phone calls, and an unconscionable number of vile “hit pieces” on television, they would conclude that the best candidate for the job

should have been “none of the above.” We suspect many people were sick of

the whole thing weeks before Nov. 6.The blame for a lot of this falls

on the “super PACs,” collections of groups outside a politician’s direct campaign that are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. The situation actually is worse since many groups don’t have to register with the Federal Election Commission because they say they are focusing on “educational,” not “political” activities. We’re calling – well, you know – on

that.This money-grubbing situation

isn’t limited to the presidential race. The cost of political campaigns nationwide is estimated to be $6 mil-lion. In our state alone, the race for governor is expected to reach a total cost of $46 million.

Despite this national effort, many voters say they don’t expect things to change much regardless of who is elected president.

We may not get the “best candi-date that money can buy,” but we’re certainly going to get one who is ridiculously expensive.

A disgrace to deny group’s march

I am outraged and ashamed to hear the Veterans for Peace were denied a permit to march in the Auburn Veterans Parade. This is un-American and a disgrace.

Of all people, our veterans, have every right to work for and promote peace. They know first hand what war is, the suffering and tragedy it brings.

We have seen 11 years of costly wars and countless deaths, and the mayor of Auburn thinks that promoting peace and diplo-macy is an act against Veterans. I find this unacceptable.

I will consider it my duty to make sure that everyone is aware of this injustice. I will write every newspaper, news station, send emails and talk to every person I know and ask them to do the same.

This unjust behavior will not go unnoticed.– Jean Matthew

Shame on City for not honoring veterans group

As a former longtime resident of Auburn and the wife of a disabled veteran, I was outraged to learn that the City of Auburn has chosen to deny the Veter-

ans for Peace (VFP) request to march in the annual Veterans Day Parade this year.

A spokesperson for the City of Auburn told me that the VFP does not fit with the city’s mission to “positively honor veterans and current service members defending freedom around the world.”

I am deeply troubled that the City’s definition of freedom around the world does not extend to Auburn’s Veteran’s Day parade.

I believe one of the most important indicators of whether a country (or city, in this case) truly respects “freedom” and “democracy” for all, can be seen in its response to freedom of speech. Shame on Auburn for suppressing freedom of speech and making the decision not to honor all veterans, but only those veterans who meet with their approval. – Michele Willson

couldn’t crawl in. From there on we had training and training.”

McDonald would go on to spend 26 months in the army, many in blood splat-tered battle hospitals in the European Theater, typically about a mile behind the front line.

“We had to move as the front line moved, and we moved a lot because the front line moved a lot. Finally we got to where we could stay in one place for a while, until the front line moved again and we kept moving. We called it leapfrogging over.

“We had somebody guarding our area over-night, and if he blew a whistle, we were supposed to go out in the foxholes, which were very shallow,

but we just never had to do that,” McDonald said.

Battle, blood fuses in her memory, blurring the names of individual battles.

“When a litter was brought in with a guy on it, we didn’t know if we’d find a leg shot off or what was under that blanket. Other than that, it was just everyday calamities.”

Amid those scenes of carnage, one scene in par-ticular scorched into her brain: a young man shot in the throat.

“The hardest thing I saw was a young, 21-year-old GI. He had a bullet through his neck, and it severed his spinal cord, and we couldn’t do a thing for him, just couldn’t do anything. That was the hardest thing to take,” McDonald said. “It was just terrible.”

City’s outrageous decision

I found it an outrage that the City of Auburn would prohibit a veterans group from marching in the parade because they support peace over war.

If anyone has a right to march in the parade, it is a group of veterans. The very people who put their lives on the line. The ones who know what war is really about.

The ones who lost good friends so we can speak freely are now told to shut up by my local gov-ernment.

There is nothing about honoring veterans who salute war. If there is, our minds are in the wrong place. This decision dis-gusts me.– Dan Shields

To the persons who broke into my car

You were probably pretty excited on Nov. 7,

when, after smashing my window in, you found an iPad in the bag you grabbed off of the front seat. What you probably weren’t so excited about was the backpack of my kindergartener, which was also in the bag. And those three stuffed dolphins? I’m pretty sure you threw those into a dumpster without an-other thought.

But let me tell you something about those dolphins and the boy you hurt when you took them. He is five years old and has bright red hair, a contagious laugh, and he is my son. He also has autism.

He has loved those

three dolphins most of his life. They have slept with him, comforted him, and helped him through difficult things like the first day of school and trips to the doctor. One in particular was chewed on, stroked, and loved so much that he became threadbare. I’m sure it was easy to classify this ratty stuffed animal as “garbage.”

Sadly, though, it was my son’s best friend. While I get to hear him repeating, “Dolphin all gone. All gone dolphin,” as he tries to sleep at night, I wonder if your conscience keeps you awake.

Maybe. Maybe not.

And, while fixing the window was inconve-nient, and replacing the iPad is a luxury that won’t occur for awhile, the real tragedy of the night for our family was losing those “worthless” dolphins.

They’re irreplaceable.

–Wendy Jones

Shame on uniformed parade goer

As a Navy and Marine Korean War Veteran, I went to the Auburn Veterans Day Parade Sat-urday and stood behind the Reviewing Stands. Again, I was made proud

by all of the participants and organizations that marched and helped. However, I was disheart-ened with something that unfolded right in front of me.

In the stands, just to my right, was an Air Force Colonel, able and active in his forties. Not once did he ever stand and or salute the col-ors as they went by, or stopped in front of, the reviewing stands. To my left was a Navy Rear Ad-miral, obviously retired and in his 70’s, a young Navy Rear Admiral Lower Half and a Marine officer. They were sitting apart from each other. Each and every time the American Flag passed and or stopped in front of the stands the three of them stood and saluted the colors. After about an hour and a half I could tell the elder Admiral was tired from the effort of rising every few min-utes, but he did not stop. What disrespect the Air Force Colonel exhibited. Shame on him. – Edwin R. Palin

Boy Scout Andrew Madrid knows firsthand that a bicycle helmet can save your life.

The Auburn boy con-tinues to recover from injuries he sustained when he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Auburn Way South on his bicycle in August.

Andrew shared his story at the Valley Re-gional Fire Authority’s third annual Scout Night at VRFA Station 33 on Wednesday.

“We are so relieved that Andrew is heal-ing from his injuries and delighted that he is willing to help the VRFA encourage others to wear safety helmets by sharing his story,” said VRFA Battalion Chief Rudy Peden.

Andrew got a chance to meet Peden and some of the firefighters who responded to his aid at the program, which attracted more than 220 Boy Scouts, as well as scout leaders and parents.

The Valley Profes-sional Firefighters and VRFA Administrator Eric Robertson present-

ed Andrew with a new bicycle donated by Cycle Therapy in Kent and, of course, a new bicycle helmet. The helmet comes from the same fund that provided the one Andrew was wear-ing when he was hit on his bicycle.

The Valley Profes-sional Firefighters and

the VRFA coopera-tively manage the helmet program. Donations by the Valley Professional Firefighters Union, the Auburn Area Fire Medic Fund and citizens fund the program.

On Scout Night, youngsters visited seven learning sta-tions designed to assist

them in increasing their overall safety knowledge and meet some of their scouting badge require-ments.

Scouts discovered ways to make their homes safer, practiced how to change the bat-teries and test smoke alarms, learned First-Aid for minor injuries, tied knots and became skilled in designing a home fire escape plan.

They also learned about disaster prepared-ness for individuals and families, and got a chance to see and touch the tools and equip-ment used by firefight-ers while learning more about a career in the fire service.

New this year was a bike safety station, where scouts learned basic bike maintenance skills and how to fit their helmets properly.

Custom fit bike helmets, like the one Andrew was wearing, are available.

A $5 donation is ap-preciated, with all the funds applied to the purchase of additional helmets.

To learn more, visit www.vrfa.org.

...HealtHy living

MultiCare Health System

Cholesterol and blood pressure play a major role in the overall health of our heart. High blood pressure and poor cholesterol num-bers are considered major risk factors for the develop-ment of heart disease and stroke.

It’s important for everyone to know their cholesterol and blood pressure number, and to stay within recommended goal ranges. We encourage everyone to work with their primary-care provider to evaluate and treat their risk factors for heart disease.

Below are a few com-mon questions we hear from patients. Or take an online “Heart Disease Risk Assessment” quiz (www.multicare.org/home/heart-disease-risk) to learn about some of your risk factors, then consult a primary care provider.

How often sHould I Have my cHolesterol cHecked?

Once every five years adults over age 20 should have a fasting lipoprotein profile – which measures total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides (another blood fat), according to recommendations from the National Cholesterol Education program.

You may need to have your cholesterol checked more often than every five years if one or more of these situations applies to you:

• Your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dl or more.

• You are a man over age 45 or a woman over age 50.

• Your HDL (good) cholesterol is less than 40/mg/dL.

• You have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and early onset of heart disease in your immediate family history.

• Your health care provider is treating you for high cholesterol or other heart disease risk factors.

wHat are Hdl and ldl, and wHy do tHey matter?

Cholesterol does not dis-solve in the blood. It has to be transported by carriers called lipoproteins. There are two types of these lipoproteins: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is known as the “bad” type of cholester-ol because of its ability to build up on the inner walls of the arteries of the heart and vascular system. This can cause narrowing in the arteries, leading to clots or blockages, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Too much LDL cholesterol in the blood can increase this risk. Optimal levels of LDL recommended are 100 mg/dL or less.

HDL is known as the “good” type of cholesterol because high levels of HDL seem to protect against risk of heart attacks. Medical experts believe that HDL helps to carry cholesterol away from the arteries to be broken down in the

liver and removed. The higher the HDL level, the greater the chance that the cholesterol is being removed.

Optimal HDL should be above 50 mg/dL or greater.

How can I Improve my cHolesterol numbers?

Everyone can work to improve their cholesterol numbers and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease by eating a low fat diet, exercising regularly, losing excess weight and increasing fiber in their diet. You should consult with your health care provider to evaluate your cardiovascular disease risk and whether you may need medication in addition to diet and exercise.

How often sHould I cHeck my blood pressure?

Have your blood pres-sure checked every year. Optimal blood pressure is 120/80 or less. High blood pressure is considered to be 140/90 or greater.

If your blood pressure is 130/85 or greater, it should be watched closely and you should consult your health care provider.

wHat are tHe symptoms of HIgH blood pressure?

High blood pressure is considered the “quiet” disease because there usually are no symptoms. Knowing your numbers and seeking treatment when indicated can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Among the things that everyone can do to help improve blood pressure levels are weight loss, salt reduction, stress reduction, cardiovascular exercise and a healthy diet.

wHat can be done to reduce HIgH blood pressure?

We have seen patients improve their blood pres-sure and cholesterol levels through diet and exercise alone. In many cases however, patients may require medication to help

them reach their opti-mal numbers and reduce their overall risk for heart disease and stroke. Consult a primary care provider if you have concerns.

A day to shop at stores owned by our friends and neighbors and a day to do our part for the businesses that do so much for us. On Saturday, November 24, let’s get out and Shop Small.®

When Josh Bickford start-ed work at Auburn Regional Medical Center in 1996, he did not have nursing in mind as a profession.

Bickford was a 16-year-old boy, working part-time in the hospital kitchen.

“It paid better than working at a pizza or fast food place,” Bickford said. “I felt like I was making big money.”

In the two years he worked in food services he became acquainted with nurses and other staff working at the hospital and learned about their careers. After graduat-ing from Puyallup’s Rogers High School in 1998, he took a job as a transporter in the emergency department, tak-ing patients from the ER to various places in the hospital. That job led to his becoming a certified nursing assistant the following year and an emergency room technician the year after.

Bickford enjoyed his job as an ER tech and was content for awhile.

“I was earning a good living for a single person,” Bickford said, “and I was not anxious to return to school.”

After a few years, however,

his ambitions changed. “My friends were getting

married and starting fami-lies,” Bickford said. “The ones with higher education found it easier to get jobs that could comfortably support a family. I decided to attend nursing school and become an RN.”

In 2008, Bickford started school at Pierce College while continuing to work part-time as an ER tech at Auburn Regional. He graduated with his associates degree in June, and passed the licensing exam in July. His hospital badge now has

“RN” in big letters. “The blue scrubs feel

good.” he said, referring to the navy blue scrubs worn by registered nurses at Au-burn Regional.

Bickford has even bigger plans now.

“I am getting married in September and taking a year off school to make sure I get off to a good start as a husband and nurse” he explained. “Then I plan to go back to school.”

Bickford plans to com-plete a four-year degree in nursing, and then possibly pursue an advanced degree.

Multicare Auburn Re-gional Medical Center is a progressive 162-bed acute-care facility and medical center with a 24/7 Level III Trauma Center. It has been serving South King and North Pierce counties since 1921. Multicare Auburn Regional Medical Center’s community clinic system, Regional Medical Clinics, provides urgent care, fam-ily medicine, occupational medicine, and specialty care in Pierce and King counties.

Four times this season the Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview boys water polo teams had met.

Three times during the regular season the Lions had beaten their district rivals, narrowly besting the Ravens in tight matches.

This past Saturday during the Washington State Water Polo championships at the Curtis Pool it was Auburn Riverside’s turn, the squad squeaking by Auburn Mountainview with a 7-6 overtime win in a battle for fifth- and sixth-place.

“We did it when it counted,” Ravens coach Mike Van Eaton said. “Those other three games were really close. One went into overtime and the other two were just by a couple goals. But when it really mattered, we rose to the top.”

Auburn Riverside seemed firmly in control, with a 6-3 lead in the fourth period.

The Lions mounted a comeback, however, with senior Hunter Arnold find-ing the back of the goal with 2 minutes, 8 seconds left in the game. Auburn Mounta-inview junior Brady Gardner added a goal to bring the score to 6-5, and junior Riley King tied the game at 6-6 with less than 10 seconds left, pushing the match into

overtime.With less than a second

left on the clock, Raven senior Matty Benabid deliv-ered the victory, squeaking one past Lion goalkeeper Jackson Sulewski.

“It felt amazing,” Benabid said. “It’s nothing without my teammates, but scoring the winning goal is really

cool, especially against our rivals.”

“It feels real good, especially since we were so close in the last two games,” Auburn Riverside senior Thomas Henline said. “The first one (against Auburn Mountainview) went to double-overtime, and the other two were just one-

point losses that were really close down the stretch. It feels really good to finally pull one out like this.”

Van Eaton, still sopping wet from his victory plunge into the pool, praised the play of his team during the tourney.

ChriS Young on fire with Sun DevilS

Former-Auburn football player Chris Young has found his stride as a linebacker with the Arizona State Sun Devils. Young, a junior

transfer student at the Tempe, Ariz. university, is one of the

best Division I linebackers in the country with 64 total tackles – including 13.5 for a loss – two

sacks and an interception. Young transferred to Arizona State after

two years at Arizona Western College, where he was honored as a first-team All-American as

a sophomore. Young notched 111 tackles, including 30 for a

On Saturday the Lions (16-5) accomplished their goal with a fifth-place finish, beating Glacier Peak 3-1 with scores of 25-18, 25-22, 21-25 and 25-21 to claim the trophy.

“The girls have been pretty good about keep-ing their eyes on the prize all season,” Claudon added.

For the Lions it all started at 8 a.m. this past Friday at St. Martin’s University in Lacey.

“It was an awesome game,” Claudon said. “The had so much energy. We were up and ready to go at 5 a.m. It was awe-some to watch them play such great volleyball.”

Auburn Mountainview easily swept past Stan-wood 3-1 with scores of 25-18, 20-25, 25-10 and

25-16, earning a second-round match against Prairie.

“We had an eight hour break between the games,” Claudon said. “I don’t think we showed up quite as well as we wanted to.”

Although the Lions had previously beaten Prairie – which went on to win the 3A championship – at the district tourney, the Falcons proved too much, defeating Auburn Mountainview 3-0, with scores of 25-11, 25-20 and 25-18.

“That was a little humbling,” Claudon said. “But it definitely gave us a little spark under our butts. We were able to refocus and remember the goal and to play as a team.”

On day two of the tour-

ney the Lions earned a shot to play for fifth- and sixth-place with a 3-0 win over No. 4 ranked Mount Spokane, with scores of 25-19, 25-19 and 25-19.

“That final game was pretty exciting,” Claudon said. “We had nothing to lose, because we knew we were getting a trophy. We were pretty excited.”

Claudon credits the play of South Puget Sound League 3A MVP Sam Odren for the team’s performance this season.

“She’s our four-year varsity center,” she said. “She’s our quarterback on the court.”

Also instrumental were sophomore hitters Molly Cichosz and senior Maya Williamson.

“Alexia Elliott-Free really stepped up and did a great job as an outside

hitter,” Claudon said. “She normally plays defensive specialist.”

The fifth-place finish is the highest placing ever for the Auburn Mounta-inview program, and the state appearance was the team’s seventh straight.

ALSO: The Auburn Riverside girls earned a seventh-place finish at the Washington State 4A Volleyball Championship tourney, with a 3-0 win over Richland this past Saturday. The Ravens (16-

6) defeated the Bombers 3-0 with scores of 25-15, 25-12 and 25-20. Auburn Riverside opened the tourney with a 3-0 loss to top-ranked Mead, 25-17, 25-12 and 25-15 and responded in the consola-tion brackets with a 3-0 blanking of Monroe with scores of 25-23, 25-23 and 25-16. On Saturday the Ravens opened with a 3-0 win against Skyline, with scores of 25-20, 26-24 and 25-20, setting up the match against Richland.

[ Lions from page 12] Ravens hoops opens nov. 30 at Kentlake

Auburn parade celebrates veterans past and present

Members of a U.S. Army honor color guard march in Auburn’s 47th annual Veterans Day Parade. The event featured more then 200 entries and lasted more than two hours. The event also included a flyover by a C-17 U.S. Air Force jet.

Auburn continued its 47-year old tradition of honoring war veterans this past Saturday with the annual Veterans Day Parade.

Beginning at 11 a.m. the parade, featuring more than 200 entries, wound its way west down Main Street, from E Street Southeast to A Street Northwest near Auburn City Hall.

The parade, one of the largest of its type west of the Mis-sissippi River, this year featured more than 30 marching bands and local junior ROTC units, honor guards, military units and antique military vehicles.

Grand Marshal John J. Hauff, Sr. presided over the parade.

Richard (Dick) Delroy BarnardRichard (Dick) Barnard of Browns

Point passed away on Wednesday, November 7, 2012. After a courageous battle with cancer, Dick spent his last days comfortably at home—surrounded by his family; sharing memories, prayers, music… some laughter, some tears before peacefully leaving this world and going home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Born on March 18, 1928 in Cheyenne, Wyoming; Dick moved west to Washington with his mother and six siblings in the early 1930s. In 1948, Dick joined the Air Force and served his country until 1951. He then started a business career that would span some 60 plus years, owning and operating several businesses in South King County.

Away from business, Dick enjoyed spending time with his family, RVing, being a handy man, and relaxing at home in Browns Point—watching ships pass by in the bay and sunsets over the Olympic Mountains.

Dick is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Marilyn and their children: Becky Metzler, Brad (Sue) Barnard, Rick (Jana) Johnson, Steve (Wendy) Johnson, Karin (Jeremey) Greenway; 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and his sister, Carol Capps… He was a very special man, husband, father, grandpa, friend and more. We will miss him dearly but look forward to joining him again someday and—we look forward to celebrating his life with a memorial service at 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 25th at Christ’s Church Federal Way, located at: 941 S Dash Point Rd Federal Way; reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society. Condolences to Marilyn and the family may be left online at www.bonneywatson.com .

“So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross… and exchange it someday for a crown.”

Auburn Memorial Stadium.After a scoreless first half

the Trojans (9-2) turned to their dominating ground attack, torching the Wild-cats’ (8-3) for 347 yards rushing.

Auburn junior Kieo Buchanan finished with a game-high 116 yards on 10 carries and senior Darnell Hagans had 61 yards on eight carries.

Defensively the Trojans held Eastmont’s star run-

ning back Darin Hargrove to just 99 yards on 17 car-ries, only the second time he has been held under 100 yards this season.

Quarterback Brock Grams notched Eastmont’s lone score, a 2-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.

If Auburn wins on Saturday they will advance to the state 4A semifinals Nov. 24 at the Tacoma Dome and play either No. 4 Bellarmine Prep (10-1) or No. 6 Gonzaga Prep (10-1).

Mike van eaton enjoys a post game dip with his team after the Ravens’ fifth-place finish at state. Shawn SkageR, Auburn Reporter

“We had a strong group of seniors that have spent four years preparing,” he said. “We had our ‘A’ game the entire tourna-ment and we did it here.”

Henline added:“It felt like it was [our

game to win],” he said. “It felt like we just missed on chances in our other games and just couldn’t capitalize. In this game

we did, even though we missed some. We defi-nitely made the plays we needed to and stepped up our defense a lot. It’s good to go out on a win in our senior season.”

Henline, Benabid and senior Adam Benabid all were named as all-tournament honorable mentions, with Auburn Mountainview’s Hunter Arnold and Brady Gard-ner also honored.

Main Street Thrift

Pam Johnson opened up her resale shop four years ago in April at 504 E. Main St. in Downtown Auburn. She also has a store in Burien called Frenzi’s at 218 SW 153 St.

She worked at Nordstrom for 17 years before deciding to start a business and have a balance with her family while offering low prices on previously owned brand name clothing and accessories. With her fashion background, Pam said she has a store where “all the weeding has been done for you!”

Main Street Thrift was the winner in the “2012 Best of Auburn” contest for Resale Shop and also received � nalist status in the Clothing Store and Antique/Collectibles Shop categories.

Along with a vast selection of women’s and men’s clothing, the store also has antiques, books, records, glassware and other collectibles. Main Street Thrift is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 pm to 5:30 pm.

Program started with just three different bag types and later moved to address different dietary and cultural needs.

They purchase roughly 70 percent of their food and get about 30 percent from donations.

They also get funds from the cities of Seattle, Renton, Kenmore, Bellevue, Federal Way and Tukwila. Money from the state’s Emergency Food Assistance Program, private donations, grants and

support from faith communi-ties rounds out the funding.

The program has one large truck, a van, a paid staff of four and two alternatively funded staff to carry out their mission. Volunteers help a great deal. Last year volun-teers logged more than 2,300 hours in their warehouse.

Although they would like to have a permanent space or long-term lease agree-ment, their primary concern is feeding people right now, Anderson said.

On Sept. 22, the Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hun-

gry, the community helped the program and others like it to feed the hungry.

It is a grocery store based food drive for area food banks, pantries and organi-zations like the Emergency Feeding Program.

Last year the day brought in 26 and a half tons of food for the Emergency Feeding Program alone.

For information on assis-tance or volunteer opportuni-ties, contact the Emergency Feeding Program at 206-329-0300 or visit www.emergen-cyfeeding.org.

[ FEED from page 3] Victorian Farmhouse Christmas at Neely Mansion

Victorian Farmhouse Christmas at Neely Man-sion – a benefit for one of the valley’s treasures – is Dec. 2.

Tour the historic Victorian Classic Revival farmhouse, decorated for the holidays, with docents in period dress and enjoy light refresh-

ments and explore the gift shop.

Proceeds go toward operating expenses and the continuing restora-tion of the county, state and national landmark, built by one of Wash-ington Territory’s – and South King County’s – earliest and most influ-ential pioneer families.

The house and grounds reflect their legacy and that of the ethnic tenant farmers who lived there through the 1970s.

Tour times are 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Cost is $15 per person.

Advance reservations are required. To register, call 253-850-2777.

The Neely Mansion is located at 12303 Auburn-Black Diamond Road, Auburn, just east of the Highway 18/Auburn-Black Diamond Road exit.

Visit www.neelyman-sion.org and the Neely Mansion Association Fa-cebook page for further information.
