Under a light patter of rain, Gov. Jay Inslee strolled along the west bank of the Green River through north Auburn’s Brannan

Park on Monday afternoon, get-ting his first look at the recently-rebuilt Reddington levee.

As Inslee made his way along, King County Senior Ecologist Sarah McCarthy directed his gaze to key features of the project, describing

to him the function of riprap at the river’s edge and that of the many new trees along the bank, planted, she said, to keep the waters cool for salmon restoration.

Mayor Nancy Backus, City staff, and Diane Carlson from King County Executive Dow Constan-tine’s office toured Auburn’s imperiled King County Public Health Clinic on Monday.

The group saw several clients with newborns who receive nutrition from the Women, Infant’s and Children (WIC) program, which gives women vouch-ers to get healthful food like fruits and vegetables, grains and dairy at a grocery store to maintain a healthy child.

The group also learned that, per employee, the Auburn clinic is the most effective and efficient of any of King County’s clinics in term of planning and maternity services.

“You know, 11,000 people visit that clinic every year, and what we heard today is that those people would not be receiving services for

the most part because those services would not be avail-able at the Kent and Federal Way clinics,” Backus said.

Given that financial sup-port from the state and feder-al governments has declined in the last few years, King County has said it may close the clinic, among others, by the end of 2014.

The King County Council votes on its budget Nov. 15.

In the meantime, efforts to keep the clinic open con-tinue to pick up support.

On Monday the Auburn School District passed a reso-lution to support its staying open. Valley Regional Medi-cal Center also has passed its own resolution.

The cities of Black Dia-mond and Enumclaw, which are in the service area of the clinic, have said they will support the clinic financially for the next two years.

Auburn officials are working with the Muck-leshoot Tribe on financial support, and John Tyson, CEO of Orion Industries,

is heading up a group of business owners working to keep the clinic open.

“I am very optimistic that we’ll be able to maintain our clinic. It’s not a done deal yet, but I’m very opti-mistic. We’ve been working really hard and gaining sup-port from a lot of different

jurisdictions,” Backus said.On Thursday of last

week, the King County Council had a budget hearing at the King County Regional Justice Center in Kent. Backus, flanked by all seven members of the Au-burn City Council, spoke on behalf of the clinic.

“We reminded the coun-cil that if it closed this clinic, there would be additional burdens on our 911 system and that a visit to the clinic is far less expensive than a 911 call,” Backus said.

“I don’t think the King County Executive wants to see it closed. When you go

into a budget, you start by looking simply at financial impacts, but you need to look at the social impacts as well. And sometimes the social bottom line is more important than the fiscal bottom line,” Backus said.

“… We all know that the preventive maintenance piece of anything is far less expensive than fixing it later,” Backus added.

Oct. 23Burglary: 7:10 a.m., 1600 block of Industry Drive Southwest. Employees reported a burglary to an undisclosed business overnight.

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…

Police Blotterhas identified them as 23-year-old Caleb Graham, 21-year-old Rehlein Stone, 31-year-old Andrew Tedford and 29-year-old Suzanne McCay.

Two other men – the driver and a man ejected from the vehicle – were transported to Harbor-view Medical Center in Seattle with life-threat-ening injuries, and are in stable condition, ac-cording to Cmdr. Steve Stocker, Auburn Police Spokesperson.

Police said one of the survivors at Harborview is a 38-year-old man who is believed to be the driver of the car. The driver, police said, faces the pos-sibility of serious charges, including vehicular homicide.

Stocker added that investigators are waiting

to talk with the survivors to determine if all of the persons involved in the accident were indeed in the car.

“It’s likely that six people were stuffed in this little car, but we can’t say with 100 percent certain-ty,” he said. “We believe they are all associated, but if they’re not, it’s possible that one or more were pedestrians. We just don’t know at this point because we haven’t been able to talk with (the survivors).”

A small dog, believed by Auburn Police to have been an occupant in the car, was found alive at the scene but was transported to a Sumner veterinarian and euthanized for its injuries.

The investigation closed Auburn Way South for several hours. The investi-gation continues.

What Inslee saw he fitted into the larger issue of cli-mate change, praising “vi-sionary leaders” throughout the state “with the courage to do more than talk,” he said, leaders who “actively embrace the future” by planning for changes in the hydrological cycle and preparing for floods at different times of the year owing to climate change.

“The bad news is that we are faced with these realities of climate change and the clear realities of the science. But we are responding to that with visionary leader-ship on the ground, where the rubber meets the road,” Inslee said, pointing to the levee project.

In 2013, as part of a larger overall flood manage-ment strategy for the lower Green, King County set the Reddington levee back along the west bank of the river, from the southern boundary of the Port of Seattle’s wetland mitiga-tion project at 43rd Street Northeast to Brannan Park. The work replaced a sub-standard levee with a new levee that today protects

from flooding nearly 600 properties, worth $680 million.

The work, which created a wider corridor for moving flood flows, and a wider riparian corridor with en-hanced ecological benefits, was designed to reduce flood risks to residents, businesses and infrastruc-

ture within Auburn and the Green River Valley.

The new setback levee lets the river channel migrate lat-erally and form new channel patterns in this area.

Future work is expected to extend the setback levee from just north of the River Mobile Estates to 43rd Street Northeast.

“It’s one of the reasons I love local community lead-ers,” said Inslee, flanked by Muckleshoot Tribal Chair Virginia Cross, Mayor Nan-cy Backus, City Council-man Bill Peloza and others. “They aren’t wasting time arguing about this, they’re pitching in and rolling up their sleeves, and they’re doing something about it.”

The governor said he remains hopeful that law-

makers in Olympia will do their bit to reduce carbon pollution, which he said is what is causing the climate change problem in the first place.

“We’ve got to respond in two ways: we’ve got to re-spond to the climate change that’s occurring; and also stop it,” Inslee said.

Louie Ungaro, a member of the Muckleshoot Tribal Council and chairman of the tribe’s fish commission, described why projects like the Reddington levee mat-ter so much to the tribe.

“Salmon have been the backbone of our people for thousands of years, and sustained our way of life in salmon villages up and down this river, in this watershed, up into the mountains, to the lower vil-lages down below, when the White River connected to the Green River in the early 1900s,” Ungaro said.

“…This isn’t just a Green River thing, this is all of the estuaries around here that have been flooding. We’re going to have to work together. I hope and pray that we can take the lead on this system, which is so significant. Like your I-5 corridor, this has been our I-5 corridor for thousands

of years, and it is con-nected to all these river and drainages together from the south to the north Sound,” Ungaro said.

Backus praised the part-nerships that helped make the Reddington levee proj-ect possible, singling out the City’s partnership with the Muckleshoot Tribe.

“We co-exist, and we rep-resent the same people, and we have the same needs and desires, and we care about our rivers,” she said. “The Reddington levee and all of the work that’s been done does have a huge economic impact. There are more than 600 businesses with an estimated $680 million value, and if we didn’t do the work along the river, we could lose all that. And that would be almost impossible to recover from.”

ADVISORY: From Oct. 13 to approximately Nov. 26, a street pavement project will require the closure of 24th Street SE from M Street SE and R Street SE to through traffic for the replacement of water and storm drainage lines, and the reconstruction of curbs, gutters and the street. Access to local residences within the project area will be maintained during construction, but delays should be expected.

The late Billy Frank Jr., chairman of the North-west Indian Fisheries Commission, left us all many lessons during his time on this earth. One of the most important was also one of the simplest: “Tell the truth.”

But that’s not what the state of Washington is doing when it comes to salmon recovery. You wouldn’t

know it from what state government tells us, but the truth is that salmon recovery is failing.

At the center of that truth is the fact that we are losing salmon habitat faster than it can be restored. We cannot

recover wild salmon until we stop the bleeding in our watersheds and estuaries.

Another truth is that tribal treaty rights are one of the few things strong enough to stand between all of us and the extinction of wild salmon. We have demonstrated that time and again over the decades.

Most recently, we showed that truth with a victory in the culvert case. We then filed suit in 2001 to force the state to repair hundreds of failing, fish-blocking culverts. These blockages under state roads cut off

salmon from hundreds of miles of spawning and rearing habitat. The case was filed as a sub proceeding of the 1974 Boldt decision in U.S. v. Washington that upheld our treaty fishing rights reserved in treaties with the United States.

On March 29, 2013, federal dis-trict court Judge Ricardo Martinez confirmed those rights by issuing a permanent injunction. He ordered the state to repair more than 600 of its fish-blocking culverts over the next 17 years. He wanted to “ensure that the State will act expeditiously in correcting the barrier culverts

How are Boeing's $8.7B tax breaks paying off?

A smart group of ordinary folks, entrusted to advise state lawmakers on the merit of tax breaks, has a suggestion regarding the jumbo incentives enjoyed by The Boeing Co. and the rest of the aerospace industry:

Figure out how we’ll know when they stop paying off.

The five-member panel with a mouthful of title – the Citizen’s Commission for Per-formance Measurement of Tax Preferences

– recently concluded that Washington needs a clear means of measuring benefits received from $8.7 billion in tax savings Boeing stands to covet over the next couple of decades.

On a 4-1 vote, the commission recommended that the Legis-lature “establish specific economic develop-ment metrics and reporting mechanisms” for the tax breaks, which are intended to help the aerospace industry grow.

Commissioners didn’t spell out what they thought those “specific metrics” should include, cognizant of the difficulty faced by lawmakers in devising any degree of check on tax breaks.

They are counting on their broadly word-ed recommendation to spark a conversation in Olympia. The tax breaks are so big that they shouldn’t be given out unless their value can be justified with an objective measuring stick, commissioners said before the vote.

Leaders of two unions wanted the panel to be bolder – to endorse a requirement that Boeing maintain a minimum number of jobs to receive every dollar of tax savings.

Though that didn’t happen, representatives of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) and the International Association of Machinists and

Restaurant returns better than ever

Memories of delicious de-cades when Auburn firefight-ers dashed across the street for a Cubby burger, fires and a shake inspired our family to excitedly return to Serious Soul Café@Cubbies.

The décor is simple and fondly reminiscent of the good ol’ days. Rod, the owner/chef, is just as friendly as the beauti-ful Stella and Sterino sisters were back in the day, and the burger is twice as big and twice as juicy … even if not flame broiled.

Imagine our delight when we also dug into flaky, breaded catfish, fat Idaho fries, crispy, mouth-watering fried chicken with potato salad, collard greens and hush puppies and finally, lemon pound cake for dessert.

We promised Rod that we’d be back very soon for the

brisket, pulled pork, gumbo, jambalaya and red beans and rice.

A warm welcome home to Auburn goes to the new, fantastic Serious Soul Café@Cubbies.

Some things do indeed get better with age, and dinner was more than we imagined. We just may have them cater

our family Thanksgiving with real comfort food.– Merry, Steve and Colby Shropshire

Gregerson’s questionable ways

Do we need ethical people in Olympia to represent us?

It seems a little scary to send Mia Gregerson to Olympia when she answers untruths in her campaign literature as “typo errors.” Is she going to proofread legislative bills the same way she proofreads her campaign literature?

The State Public Disclosure Commission fined her for misuse of public funds while working at the City of SeaTac. This is not a good sign if she will be working with taxpayers money in Olympia.

If you take time to read Jeanette Burrage’s prior job ex-periences, it seems she has the

Aerospace Workers (IAM) ap-plauded the commission’s recom-mendation.

“This is really the first look at the public’s evaluation of the tax preference legislation. As such, we find the commission’s recom-mendation an encouraging step toward accountability,” SPEEA spokesman Bill Dugovich wrote in an email.

Larry Brown, IAM’s political director, said the citizen panel is “trying to get closer to where we’d like to see the state when they give tax preferences. We appreci-ate the progress they’re making, but there’s more work to be done.”

The extent of that “work” will be the topic this week when union leaders meet with Gov. Jay Inslee.

Union leaders are crafting a bill dubbed the “Aerospace Tax Incen-tive Accountability Act,” which they hope will link the quantity and wages of jobs in aerospace with tax

preferences. They want to make sure firms can’t lay off or move workers – as Boeing has done to thousands of engineers in the past 18 months – without some finan-cial repercussion.

They’ve lined up a few friend-lies in the House and Senate, but the governor isn’t rushing to get on board.

The citizen commission’s recommendation could bolster their pitch.

“The intent of the Washington legislation was to grow our state’s aerospace industry,” Dugovich said of the tax breaks. “The commission’s recommendation is appropriate – the Legislature needs to ensure tax breaks build our state’s aerospace industry, and it’s done with jobs that adhere to established wage standards.”

which violate treaty promises.”Martinez noted that funding

for the repairs would come from the state’s separate transportation budget, not at the cost of education or other social services.

Judge Martinez clearly ruled that our treaty-reserved right to harvest salmon also includes the right to have those salmon protected so that they are available for harvest. And not only by tribes but by everyone who lives and fishes in the region.

It’s the same with tribal hatcher-

ies and the 40 million or so salmon they produce every year. Tribal hatchery production makes the pie bigger for all because everyone can harvest those fish.

Without the tribes, the salmon and its habitat would be in far worse shape than they are today. We bring to the table our treaty rights, traditional and scientific knowledge, funding, and a strong cultural commitment to recover-ing the salmon resource. Everyone benefits from the work we do.

Perhaps most important, tribes

and our treaty rights bring the rule of federal law to natural resources management. Federal law trumps state law, and treaties are protected under the U.S. Constitution as the “supreme law of the land.”

The truth is that tribes aren’t the only beneficiaries of treaty rights. Non-Indians benefit from them as well. Besides sharing the natural re-sources of the region with the tribes, non-Indians have homes, businesses and schools on lands ceded by the tribes in return for the fishing, hunt-ing and gathering rights tribes have

reserved in the treaties.But our treaty rights – and the

protection they give to all – are un-der constant, heavy attack by those who want to close our fisheries, shut down our hatcheries and de-stroy the salmon’s home. That puts treaty rights at risk for everyone.

We’re all in the same canoe, so let’s tell the truth: salmon recovery is failing. Tribal treaty rights are one of the few things that might keep salmon from disappearing altogether. The tribes will not al-low salmon recovery to fail. That

is why we must pull together to protect our natural resources and the treaty rights that protect those resources and all of us.

Being Frank is the monthly opinion column that was written for many years by the late Billy Frank Jr., North-west Indian Fisheries Commission chairman. To honor him, the treaty Indian tribes in Western Washington will continue to share their perspec-tives on natural resources management through this column. This month’s writer is Dave Herrera, a Skokomish tribal member, who serves as the tribe’s fish and wildlife policy advisor, and who also is an NWIFC commissioner.

Reichert works for usMay I have my say on that letter

to the editor, “Reichert’s voting record speaks for itself” (Oct. 10, Auburn Reporter), by Patti Larson?

If Congressman Dave Reichert “twice voted against pay parity for women, and voted 15 times for the government shutdown that cost taxpayers $24 billion, and voted 50-plus times to repeal Obamacare … and voted against increasing benefits for vets and their fami-lies and LBGT spouses,” why is it then he keeps getting reelected as Congressman of the 8th District of Washington for the past 10 years?

Are voters of the 8th District that naïve, or perhaps, that stupid?

I don’t think so.According to his resume,

Mr. Reichert is the founder and co-chair of the Children’s Health Caucus and a vocal advocate of the disabled, the elderly, victims of domestic abuse, children ... and veterans. To me, that’s awesome.

I am a Vietnam-era veteran, and from what we, veterans, are aware of and understand, Dave Reichert has gone the extra mile for active duty military, reservists, wounded warriors, and for us, veterans. He pushed for legislation of the Vet-eran Jobs Act and the Housing for Heroes Act that looked into the matter of unemployment and lack of housing for veterans.

For us, who have put our lives on the line for our country, that’s truly awesome and the least an elected public official can do.

I am again ready to vote for Congressman Reichert, and I am sure my fellow veterans are ready, too. Thank you.– Sofia Smith

Why not debate?As a voter it has come to my at-

tention that Jason Ritchie, Demo-cratic candidate for the 8th District Representative, previously sent a request to Congressman Dave Reichert requesting his participation in a debate. Reichert has not even shown the courtesy of a response to Jason Ritchie. That doesn’t say much about the character of Dave Reichert.

As the news media, and in the best interest of educating our vot-ers, I would request that you start asking the tough questions on why Congressman Dave Reichert clearly refuses to debate candidate Jason Ritchie on the issues and his voting record in Congress

The voting public deserves an opportunity to see where our candidates stand on the issues, and the media should be pressuring our candidates to debate the issues – that is the only way it ever happens.– Jacqueline Ruedi

provided adequate safe-guarding of public resourc-es,” the report stated. “The City also complied with state laws and regulations and its own policies and procedures in the areas we examined.”

In the accountability au-dit, the state examined the City’s handling of: billing and receivables; payments and expenditures; cash re-ceipting; open public meet-

ing minute taking; police property room procedures; payroll and personnel; and citizen hotline referral.

According to Algona Mayor Dave Hill, the audi-tor’s office took about a month to examine the last three years of the City’s books.

“They were there three or four days every week and then doing stuff behind the scenes at their offices the other days,” Hill said.

In addition to the City’s

general accountability, the auditor’s office examined its financial statements, in-cluding its compliance with “laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements which could have direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.”

The audit found that Algona’s compliance is “fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.”

The auditor’s office, however, issued an adverse opinion regarding the method of accounting the City uses.

According to the audit, Algona uses, “single-entry, cash-basis accounting” instead of the Gener-ally Accepted Accounting Principles, a more compli-cated system used by larger municipalities.

Because Algona’s popula-tion is under 5,000, and the budget is small compared to

other municipalities – just $10.5 million, $11 million and $9 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respec-tively – the City’s simplified system is legal.

“It’s less than a technical-ity. Under state law they are allowed to do it this way,” said Washington State Au-ditor’s Office spokesperson Thomas Shapley.

“I’m really proud of the professionalism and dedica-

tion and of our whole staff, especially Diana Quinn, who oversees all of that,” Hill said. “I think it’s a shining example of what you can do in a small city. A lot of small cities use the excuse that they are small not to do things, where we do it. We make sure every-thing is accountable.”

It all happened days before the fatal shootings at Marysville-Pilchuk High School, but the bloody events to the north last Fri-day certainly did nothing to ease the fears of parents of Auburn Riverside High students.

First some student as yet unknown wrote a mes-sage on a bathroom stall at the school, threaten-ing the safety of staff and students. The student also mentioned a date – Oct. 30, 2014.

Over the following days, social media made things worse, spreading rumors about the graffiti via phone and other electronic devices.

And as simmer ramped to boil in the halls, class-rooms and common areas, Principal David Halford sent a letter to parents explaining the “imma-ture act by one of ARHS’ students,” what the school

and authorities were doing about it, and what they were going to do.

“It is unacceptable,” Hal-ford wrote of the threaten-ing message.

Noting that safety is his number one concern, Halford said that ever since he learned about the mes-sage, he has been in talks with Auburn Police and the Auburn School District.

‘Writing on a bathroom wall doesn’t lend credibility to the note, nor does the school have information to substantiate the threat,” Halford wrote. “We can never be 100 percent sure, but we do feel this person is looking for reactions. The ARHS Administrative Team and Staff are taking this threat very seriously and following all district guidelines.”

To ensure the safety of students and staff, Hal-ford wrote, the school has beefed up security around the building, and extra security measures will be in place on Oct. 30 2014,

the date in the message.What’s more, Halford

wrote, ARHS is taking an active approach by continuing its investigation into who wrote the graffiti in the bathroom stall and why.

“As principal and parent of an ARHS student, I understand the concern for your son or daughter’s safety. At this time, I am confident in stating that they are safe here at school today and in the future. If

you feel the need to keep them home, I understand as well. Please be sure to excuse them through the attendance office.

“…It is always sad when the decision of one student can affect the entire culture

and community of the nearly 1,700 students that attend,” Halford concluded.

Anyone with informa-tion should call Halford at 253-804-5154, or the Auburn Police Department at 253-931-3080.

Weeks ago a Sikh family sat with school officials at Gildo Rey Elemen-tary School to let them know that their son would henceforth be car-rying to school a small, ceremonial dagger – a Kirpan.

The Kirpan, a symbol to Sikhs of social justice, is fundamental to the observance of the Sikh faith.

The boy’s parents agreed that the knife would be kept under his cloth-ing at all times.

District and school officials then checked all the rules at the state and

federal levels having anything to do with the observance of religious rituals. What they found were cer-tain exceptions to Washington’s zero tolerance for weapons policy, so they said … OK.

That was fine with many, but to one person, a school volunteer, it set a dangerous precedent. The woman went public with her displeasure, telling KING 5 News that respect-ing religion goes too far when it compromises student safety.

Kip Herren, superintendent of the Auburn School District, explained the district’s position.

“We have had a lot of growth in the Sikh population over the last decade, and most orthodox Sikhs probably have a Kirpan on them, and it’s never been a problem. They sew them to the inside of their clothing so they are not visible.”

What happened in this instance, Herren said, was that a family ap-proached the principal at Gildo Rey to let her know that their child had gone through a religious rite, and that he needed to have the Kirpan on him.

“We checked with OSPI — the Of-fice of the Superintendent of Public Instruction — and with state federal guidelines and recommendations regarding weapons and so forth,” Herren said.

“The Kirpan is not a weapon,” Her-ren said. “In this case, it is a 3-inch, dull, blunt ornamental and deeply-religious symbol of the Sikh religion, less dangerous than school scissors. The Sikh family was amendable to the assurance that the symbol will never be visible so as not to create a disruption for those who do not have the sensitivity or awareness of this individual religious practice.”

Chris Lyn has always had an eye for art, especially photography, the means to capture emotional and spontaneous moments.

“I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember … back when 35-mm film was all you could get. You shot 24 pictures and then prayed that they turned out OK when you got them

back,” Lyn said.It wasn’t until the birth

of her son eight years ago that Lyn decided to take her work a step further. She wanted to embrace those emotional, lifestyle

memories – the ones you can’t get back once the moment is gone – through the power of digital pho-tography.

Busy as a freelance pho-tographer, Lyn decided to set down roots in Auburn and open a downtown studio.

Chris Lyn Photography is a small, upstairs suite at 222 E. Main St., a home away from home where Lyn can focus on her work. She decided to quit her full-time, corporate office job to run her own shop.

“It was scary, but fulfill-ing as well,” she said of the move. “It’s super nerve racking but it’s also excit-ing.”

Born and raised in Ohio, Lyn looked for a fresh start and a new place. She found it in Auburn, where she and her husband are raising two boys.

Her work is an exten-sion of her own experi-ences and those of others. Lyn, the artist, spontane-ously captures memories and emotional moments, whether it be childbirth or a

senior’s milestone birth-day. She especially enjoys taking maternity images, prefers naturally lit photos and welcomes challenging portraits.

Her repertoire includes special events, corporate or family photos.

“Not everyone gets the chance to do something you are so passionate about and turn it into something you do every day,” she said. “I love what I do.”

For studio hours, or to make an appointment, call 253-326-3320.

Despite the increas-ing prevalence of chronic diseases, a majority of older Americans finds ways to manage life’s challenges and keep its indepen-dence, according to a study re-cently published in the American Journal of Public Health.

Unlike most previous studies of this kind, this one tried to take a more nuanced approach to issues of age-related disability and dependence on assistance.

Age-related disability is commonly defined as a reduced capability of performing everyday

activities like maintaining basic hygiene, getting oneself dressed, mov-ing around without help, or other routines like

shopping and cooking.According to the study,

which looked at 38 mil-lion older adults enrolled in Medicare, including residents of nursing homes,

about 12 million (31 percent) were fully able to manage on their own with-out any assistance; 9 mil-lion (25 percent) learned to cope with limitations by using devices like electric wheelchairs, walkers, canes, hearing aides, and by mak-ing adjustments to their homes; about 2 million (6 percent) were unaware of, or failed to acknowledge, their diminishing inde-pendence; 7 million (18 percent) found it hard to keep functioning without support but tried anyway; and nearly 8 million (20 percent) relied on caregiv-

ers, with about 1 million living in nursing homes.

Those who took pre-cautionary measures like downscaling their house-holds and simplifying their living environment were considered “success-ful adapters,” while others who either struggled to get through the day or depended at least part-time on outside help were found at the greatest risk of losing their independence.

Most seniors fear the loss

of independence and hav-ing to move into a nursing home more than they fear death, according to several studies on the subject. A vast majority (89 percent) hopes to die in their own home, and more than half are concerned about not being able to do so.

Most also don’t expect or desire to receive sup-port from their children or other relatives. Only 1 percent reported want-ing, or actually receiving,

financial aid.On the other hand,

especially now, retiring baby boomers are very keen on using technologi-cal advances like computers and other devices and ap-pliances in their homes to maintain an independent lifestyle.

But despite such un-precedented opportunities, health concerns do weigh heavily on today’s seniors.

Most seniors adapt well to reduced mobility, other ailments, survey finds

All together now: To address health concerns, seniors are encouraged to keep moving. Regular exercise and a good diet are lifestyle choices that help the elderly in the long run. COURTESY PHOTO

Because of rising rates of chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and others, older Americans are actually less healthy than the generations that came before them. This may have potentially devastating con-sequences for how well they

age, and so far the signs are not encouraging.

Other leading health concerns for the elderly are arthritis, osteoporosis, respiratory problems, and of course, cognitive decline like memory loss and Al-zheimer’s.

The good news is that at least some of these trends can be turned around through better diet and lifestyle choices, and for im-

plementing those changes, it is never too soon or too late. It would be surprising if Americans who have the most to lose could not find ways to protect what’s dear-est to them.

FOR THE REPORTER

Better health, increased energy and improved overall well being make up the silver lining of the new SilverSneakers Fitness Pro-gram at the Auburn Senior Activity Center.

Aimed at keeping seniors healthy and active, the program has evolved to become one of the leading senior exercise programs in the country.

The program is a unique exercise and socially-oriented program designed to encourage older adults to increase their levels of physical activity and mo-tivate them to continue to exercise.

It is documented that increasing physical activity levels in the older adult population can reduce the risk of disability and disease.

Class offerings at the center include SilverSneak-ers Cardio, an aerobics class that’s safe, heart healthy and gentle on the joints; SilverSneakers Classic, de-signed to increase muscular strength, range of move-ment and activities for daily living; and SilverSneakers Yoga, which features whole body movement through a complete series of seated and standing yoga poses.

And what if you could participate in this program for free?

For adults age 65 and up with Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement carrier plans and group retiree plans, the Silver-Sneakers Fitness Program is offered at no additional, out-of-pocket cost for most members. More than 65 major health plans offer the program as part of their coverage.

Silver Sneakers classes are still available to indi-viduals over the age of 50 at the center for a fee if the program is not covered by a participants insurance.

Enrollment in the pro-gram has been proven to reduce members’ high-risk, sedentary behaviors.

Sixty-nine percent of members report that their overall health has improved since joining SilverSneak-ers, 48 percent say their diet is healthier, and 39 percent say they participate in so-cial activities more often.

Nearly 41 percent of SilverSneakers survey par-ticipants report that they attend class to socialize, and almost 60 percent of mem-bers participate in classes with a friend.

The center offers a host of opportunities to keep seniors healthy and active.

BY VALERIE RAWLINSON, RD, CD

Wesley Homes Health Center Dietician

Organic, natural, free trade, local, humane – there is a long list of terms ap-plied to foods and drinks today that makes them sound more natural or earth friendly.

But how to choose? To help clarify, let’s go

over some major categories of foods or beverages. Hint: it’s not all about buying organic products or going totally vegetarian.

• Meat and dairy: Buying products that are certified USDA organic can reduce environmental impact because no pesticides, fertil-izers or antibiotics were used in the animals’ care. However, certified organic meat and dairy can be very expensive or difficult to find. Locally-sourced meat and dairy reduces the energy in

transporting it to you. You can also reduce your

impact and save money by choosing to use these products less often. Instead of dairy, try focusing on high calcium plant foods (broccoli, kale) or fortified orange juice or soy milk. Choose beans and legumes for protein instead of meat, eat meat only once daily or have a meatless day once a week.

• Poultry and eggs: Certi-fied organic or humanely raised are good options if available and not cost pro-hibitive. Just use these items less often to reduce your impact and save money. Instead of chicken, turkey or eggs a few times a week, go for nuts or beans for your protein in a meal or snack. Try a peanut butter sandwich instead of turkey, or have chickpeas on a salad instead of chicken.

• Veggies and fruits: The health benefits of eating more non-organic produce far outweigh the marginal risk of increased pollutant exposure. If organic isn’t available, don’t let that stop you from loading your plate! Keep in mind that almost all of the research that shows the tremendous health benefits of a high produce intake studied conventional (non-organic) produce. You can also buy locally sourced produce to reduce the energy used to transport it. Wash it, peel it and eat up.

• Water: Most experts con-cur that tap water is safe and preferable to bottled water. Actually, 25 percent of bottled water is tap water. Tap water saves packaging, saves money and isn’t transported long distances. Water bottles fill landfills and demand more than 1.5 million barrels of oil

annually. Another option is to buy a

simple filtration system like

Pur or Brita that fits on your faucet or uses a refillable pitcher. For water on the go,

treat yourself to an easy-to-wash bottle. You can refill it and use it for years.Consider earth friendly eating

HYDE SHUTTLES COMES TO AUBURN: Senior Ser-vices operates a van service in Auburn for seniors 55 years of age and older and people of all ages with disabilities.

Hyde Shuttles offers free, door-to-door service anywhere within city limits, transporting riders to the Auburn Senior Center, grocery shopping, the library, the bank, to visit a friend, medical appointments any local errands.

request service up to 30 days in advance. The shuttles are lift-equipped for people who have difficulty using stairs or who use a mobility aid. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The shuttles are free, although donations are accepted.

The shuttles are named after Lillian May Hyde, a Seattle resident, who bequeathed her estate to King County Metro in 2002 with the directive that it establish a van program in her community.

Corps of Engineers, City to join forces, restore Green/Duwamish River watershedFOR THE REPORTER

Officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle Dis-trict, have awarded a contract to partner with the City of Auburn on a joint ecosystem restora-tion project on the Green/Du-wamish River at Mill Creek in Auburn.

For more than 100 years, the Green/Duwamish River water-

shed was altered in a way that degraded its ability to provide clean, productive habitat for fish and wildlife.

The Green/Duwamish River Ecosystem Restoration Project is a comprehensive restoration program for the entire watershed, spanning the tidal estuaries to the spawning and wildlife habitat ar-eas in the upper basin. Mill Creek is a tributary to the Green River.

Project construction is sched-uled to begin later this year and finish in late 2016.

The Mill Creek Project spans

more than a mile of the creek in Auburn, extending from just downstream of the stream crossing at State Route 18 to the stream crossing at State Route 167. A large portion of the restoration project is located within the Auburn Environ-mental Park.

The project will provide multiple benefits, including the removal of existing noxious weeds and the re-vegetation of nearly 25 acres of the Mill Creek basin with native trees and plants.

...obituariesBruce Denny Schweikl

Bruce Denny Schweikl, 64, of Maple Valley WA, lost a valiant battle with brain cancer on October 19, 2014.

Bruce was born in Seattle to Marvin (Bud) and Joan Lochridge Schweikl. He was raised in Auburn and went to Auburn High School where he excelled in baseball and football. Shortly after graduation he married Tanya Bowen, who died of cancer just two years later. He then married Colette Witkowski,

with whom he had two children, Craig and Alisha. They later divorced. Bruce then met the love of his life and � shing partner, Ginny Schermele, while on a hunting trip to Montana and they were married in 1998.

Bruce worked commercial construction for over 30 years, � rst with Baugh Construction in Seattle, then McClone Construction in Maple Valley until his retirement in 2009. It was then he was able to fully pursue his passion of � shing and gol� ng with his wife, family and friends every minute he could.

Bruce is survived by his wife Ginny, son Craig, daughter Alisha (Johan) Sperling, both of Seattle, mother-in-law Doris Schweikl of Kent, WA, sisters Gail Nordeen and Lisa Mallory, and stepchildren Mike (Lori) Schermele, Keith (Bridget) Schermele, Chuck (Kathy) Schermele and Kris (Matt) Lane and 10 step grandchildren he loved dearly, all of Montana.

Bruce was preceded in death by his mother, father and sister Laurie.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 1:00 PM at the Edline-Yahn Funeral Home in Covington WA.

Gifts or memorials in Bruce’s honor can be made to the National Brain Tumor Society at www.braintumor.org

Bitner Wilson’s 1-yard touchdown with 31 seconds on the clock lifted No. 10 Auburn Mountainview to a 17-13 win over crosstown rival Auburn last Friday night at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

“It felt good, I have to thank the line for all that good blocking,” said Wilson, a sophomore. “It just felt good to win another ballgame.”

The win guarantees the Lions (5-1 league, 7-1 overall) second place in the South Puget Sound League 3A and district playoff home game in two weeks.

“It feels pretty good,” Lions coach Jared Gervais said, “beating Auburn, and doing it in that fashion. It was kind of sloppy both ways and neither team played their best game of the season. We were pretty lucky to come out on top. It’s pretty exciting.”

Auburn (4-2, 5-3), which also qualifies for the postseason, battles Lakes (3-3, 5-3) for third place at 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Lions got things started on the first play from scrimmage, with junior quarterback Gresch Jensen

legging it 56 yards to the Trojans’ 29.Kicker Devon Tandberg capped

the drive with a 40-yard field goal.Auburn’s first score came after

capitalizing on an Auburn Moun-tainview fumble, with the drive ending in Caden Borden 35-yard field goal.

On the next possession, the Lions recaptured the lead with an 8-yard TD pass from Jensen to receiver Vaughn Daggs.

Then things got a little sloppy.After forcing the Trojans into a

three-and-out, Auburn Mountain-

view looked intent on sabotaging its lead with penalties.

Two personal fouls against the Lions, one for roughing the punter and another a few plays later for roughing the kicker on a field goal attempt, allowed Auburn’s Avery Wade to punch it into the end zone on a 3-yard touchdown run.

Auburn Mountainview gave up 82 yards on nine penalites, with Auburn getting flagged six times for 65 yards.

The teams went into intermission tied at 10-10.

The Trojans snagged the lead on Borden’s 27-yard field goal in the

fourth quarter.Wilson, who finished the game

with six carries for 28 yards, then scored for the Lions.

Auburn’s attempt to come back was cut short by a Gavin Robert-son interception with less than 10 seconds left on the clock.

“It was just another football game. We just had to fight through,” Wilson said. “They got a lot of extra possession because of the penalties. We just had to work together, make sure we’re still together. We did all this hard work in the summer, and hard work pays off.

“For our kids, Auburn has been

the big, bad boy on the block for-ever,” Gervais added. “Even though most of them didn’t grow up with (the rivalry), they’re still Auburn in green and gold. Our kids were able to fight through some of the mistakes they made. It’s a pretty cool win for them.”

Jensen led the Lions offensively with 12 carries for 127 yards and was 10-of-18 through the air for 144 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Daggs’ four receptions for 54 yards and a TD, including a crucial first-down catch on the Lions’ final scoring drive, led Auburn Mounta-

inview recievers.Ki’jan Wiesinger added 54 yards

and three catches, and junior Ryan Lacey had two receptions for 37 yards.

Defensively, Wilson, Jensen and Antonio Corea all had sacks, with Chipper Ulugala-Sula notching a blocked kick.

For Auburn, senior quarterback Nick Kaatz was 4-of-5 passing for 28 yards. Senior Avery Wade led Trojan rushers with 13 carries for 79 yards, and junior Kevin Clay had 11 rushes for 79 yards. Senior Patrick O’Dell added 11 carries for 44 yards.

One-hundred years of shoes highlight women’s historyBY JACKY GRAHAM

For the Auburn Reporter

The White River Valley Museum’s latest exhibit, “Sole Obsession: 100 Years of Women’s Shoes from Kitten Heels to Power Pumps,” features a variety of shoes from 1910 to 2010.

More than 100 pairs of shoes are displayed, representing the evolving changes by the women who wore them.

Pam Salsman, the docent who answered visitors’ questions about the vintage collection, said shoes are an important part of women’s history.

“They made a statement about one’s position in the community – in life, “ she said.

A small description appears with each pair of shoes. For example, stilet-tos are explained as “covered with rhinestones, ankle strap 2-inch plat-forms, 6½ stiletto heel, 2013, Steven Madden label.” Rachael McAlister, a museum staff member, wore them at her wedding.

Most of the shoes are fashion-for-ward for their time but also represent the history of their era. Each decade has a separate shelf of 10 different pairs of shoes.

“Shoes used to be a fashion acces-sory. They aren’t so much anymore because at one time shoes were a big part of the way women dressed up,” Salsman said.

David Johnson was among the many intrigued visitors.

“As a guy, we maybe have a few styles of shoes, and coming here

seeing literally a giant variety of shoes is quite amazing,” Johnson said. “Women have been constantly changing their styles and continuously keeping up with fashion. How do they do it?”

Christine Palmer is the collection’s curator.

Donors are: McAlister; the Eastside Heritage Center; Dana Heston; Mary Kay Lewis; Kaye Ostgard; the Renton History Museum; Seattle Children’s Hospital Bargain Boutique Fashion Collections; Seattle Goodwill Vintage Fashion Collection; Lorraine Weeks; and Lynn Gough.

Gough, of Supercalifragilistic Vintage Fashion Shows, has a distinct passion for historical items and has visited the exhibit several times. She is a member of the Seattle Vintage Clothing and Textile Club, a group that meets monthly to discuss all things vintage. She donated shoes to the exhibit as a way of giving back to the community.

“I was willing to loan a number of my shoes because when they are not in use, they are sitting on a shelf,” Gough said. “People might as well enjoy them and experience the life of women years ago.”

For Gough, shoes are a magical

part of educating people.“From my fashion shows, people

tell me they learn so much from my shoes. I don’t want my collection to own me, but be a part of everybody. It is a living museum,” Gough said.

One interesting part of the exhibit – seeing yesterday’s styles reborn as today’s trends. For instance, open-toe shoes that were popular in the 1930s are again in style today.

“I always try to tell people styles recycle,” Salsman said.

Johnson agreed.“I can definitely see some trends

that women enjoy wearing today from back in the day, such as the open-toe shoes that are still trendy,” she said.

Gough said the exhibit is compel-ling and nicely put together. But she would have preferred less focus on the fashion and more emphasis on the realistic fashion of hard-working women.

“I wish they showed shoes that really reflected the Depression era be-cause that was a very important time to women’s history,” Gough said.

The exhibition continues until Nov. 9 at the museum, 918 H St. SE, Auburn.

with the doubles team of Dane and Dave Miller taking home the 4A title three years straight from 2001-2003.

He’s even been written up in the Sports Illustrated magazine Faces In The Crowd section, for his team’s 2002 regular season where the Ravens shut out every opponent in their 15-match season, winning all 79 matches and the South Puget Sound League North 4A title.

This year, however, is different.“I’ve never got this many kids to districts before,” he

said. After putting together a 14-0 league record and win-

ning the SPSL 3A outright, the team pushed two singles and two doubles teams out of the league tourney, con-ducted last weekend, to districts which begin Friday.

Freshman Colby Tong led the way with his first-place finish in the singles competition, with brother Adrian Tong, a junior, grabbing fifth-place.

In doubles action, the team of Aaron Nguyen and Con-ner Airis as well as Kyle Weurch and Gustavo Racy, both moved on to districts.

Diehl said the key to the team’s success is the addition of several new players.

“We lost a lot of kids, but we added two new kids (Racy and Colby Tong) who automatically strengthened the top of our team,” he said. “That moved kids down that were strong and that just strengthened the team. Plus our ju-nior varsity team was really strong last year. A lot of those juniors moved up to varsity. So it was just a perfect storm.”

Chemistry also played a big part Diehl added.“These kids love to play with each other. If I cancelled

practice because of rain they would be angry, hanging around my room asking why we aren’t practicing. ”

Adrian Tong, a team co-captain, said experience was the key to this team’s success.

“I think this year because we have more experience and are able to pull everything together at matches and play better under pressure,” he said.

Weurch, a senior co-captain, agreed:“I think we have a lot of people that have been on the

team for more than a year,” Wuerch said. “Last year we had a lot of fresh people who had never played varsity before. Now we’ve got more players with experience.”

The Ravens will compete in the district tourney begin-ning Friday and continuing Saturday at Sprinker Tennis Center in Tacoma. The top five placers qualify for the state 3A tourney, which is May 29 and 30 in Pasco and Kennewick.
