Man charged in ‘execution-style’ killings at tavern BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Cleanthony Jimerson stood above Nicholas Lindsay and Lorenzo Duncan as they lay helpless
on the ground and coldly fired numerous bullets into their bodies and heads, killing them. So numerous witnesses described to Auburn Police Detec-
tives the March 31, 2013 shootings in the parking lot outside of the Sports Page Tavern on Auburn Way North. This week the King County
Prosecutor’s office formally charged Jimerson, 29, with two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Lindsay, 24 and Duncan, 23, and with one
count of unlawful possession of a firearm. Also killed in the early morning melee was Antuan Greer, 21. [ more SHOOTINGS 7 ]
City to tackle issues with homelessness BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Auburn native Brocc Snyder recently asked the Auburn City Council to renew the City’s homeless ordinance, which he said would allow local homeless advocates to set up a tent city somewhere within City limits. It’s about keeping the homeless safe, he said. In the 10 days since Snyder, an elder of the Calvary Presbyterian Church in Enumclaw who ministers in Auburn, made his plea, the greater Auburn community has started to respond. Councilmembers said they have since received letters and emails from residents, some supportive, others adamantly against [ more HOMELESS page 4 ]

Ire over communal housing has led City to rewrite ordinance one on-site parking space for each resident. The proposed ordinance also allows each housing owner to provide an affidavit demonstrating that if a tenant doesn’t own a vehicle, no parking space need be provided. “We were pretty com-
fortable with that kind of concept because it’s not hard to investigate what exists on site – vehicles that are coming and going – to understand whether a property owner is able to provide full, on-site parking for all of its tenants. It says in there that if City staff ask
seven communal residence licenses issued before the moratorium, only the two above exceed four tenants. Hearing Examiner Phil Olbrechts approved those for a conditional use permit, but attached a number
for the affidavit, it should be provided on site.” Councilmember Largo Wales asked what would happen to the two existing communal housing arrangements approved by the hearing examiner that exceed four adults. Tate said that of the

When Lea Hill residents who’d worked with the City of Auburn to draft the original communal housing ordinance in 2013 wrapped up their labors, they said they had good reasons to trust that the regulations they’d sweated over capped the number of tenants at four at a time. In May of 2014, two conditional use permit applications from the same applicant to continue to operate communal housing on Lea Hill underwent a public hearing before the City’s hearing examiner, which established approval for up to seven residents. Riled neighbors showed up in mass and raised hell. One furious neighbor called the City’s action a “stab in the back;” a second labeled it “a betrayal.” Within weeks, the City slapped a year-long moratorium on the acceptance of applications for communal residences to allow staff and the planning commission to work out the kinks. Jeff Tate, assistant director of community development services for the City of Auburn, briefed City leaders Monday on the revised ordinance, which its framers say will seal up the gaps and along the way clarify a few things left fuzzy in the first ordinance. If adopted by the City Council, the ordinance would lift the moratorium and establish permanent regulations relating to review, licensing requirements and land-use standards for future potential communal residences. Here, Tate said, is what the draft ordinance would do: • Set the cap on communal residences to four tenants, eliminating that pesky conditional use permit option. • Preserve the right for an annual City inspection of communal residences, which was in the first version. • Clarify that other types of housing arrangements, such as adult care homes, are not to be defined or regulated in the same way as communal housing in the City code. “There’s language in here that’s intended to make clear that communal residences stand on their own, and that other forms of living arrangements stand on their own and are treated differently,” Tate explained.
“We wanted to do that especially because there are state laws, and there are court cases, and there are other licensing requirements for those living arrangements, and they are treated differently.” • Require that communal housing operators provide

anything smacking of a tent city. Given that response, Mayor Nancy Backus said Monday night she will put together a mayor’s roundtable on homelessness. What shape solutions may take, if solutions there are to be, is anyone’s guess. Councilmember John Holman said the kernel of the coming conversation will be finding the most humane way to deal with one’s fellow human beings. Homelessness, Holman said, is a regional, not just an Auburn, issue. That being true, whatever the City does must work in conjunction with what other communities are doing, and it must balance various competing internal interests, including where best to allocate the City’s limited funds, he said. “It’s a tenant of a lot of our own personal belief systems that we care for those who are less fortunate. But the other part of this balance is that if we make ourselves the most attractive city in the county for dealing with homelessness issues, we become a magnet, or a dumping ground, however you want to paraphrase it, for other cities,” Holman said. And if Auburn puts in a tent city and some other city closes its own, Holman argued, this community would see its homeless population expand in a nanosecond.

Approve Prop 1: Replace area’s outdated firefighter radio network There is a special election in King County on April 28 that will determine whether we are able to replace the dangerously outdated radio network that supports our firefighters locally. As president of IAFF Local 1747, I represent 233 firefighters of the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority. Every day, we have to work around this decades-old system to dispatch and respond to calls in and around Kent, Covington, SeaTac, and KCFD No. 37. We respond to more than 22,000 calls for service annually. We need to coordinate with police agencies and Medic One to ensure emergency services are available to the 62,000 residential units and 3,300 businesses who require them. Unfortunately, because of our aging radio network, our firefighters sometimes have to use separate radio channels from police and other emergency medical responders. This is absolutely unacceptable. Coordinating response should be something that occurs without us having to second guess whether we’ll be able to reach the right resources through our radio network. During fire or medical emergencies, seconds can make the difference in a lifethreatening situation. A vote to approve Prop 1 would replace the radio network used by first responders to communicate during crises, upgrade [ more GUEST OP page 6 ]

Fake trees for real ones? I have a problem spending $18,000 on a mural to paint a water tank (Auburn Reporter, April 10). Maybe those members who voted yes should pay for the project themselves since they do not think $18,000 is a lot to spend. If it was their personal money to spend, would they spend the money? Probably not, but since it’s the City paying for it then it’s a blank check. I also have another issue. I have lived in Lakeland Hills for eight years, and it wasn’t until I really looked for this water tank that I noticed it. If you’re not looking for it, you will not notice it. It’s also hidden partly by large trees, and if I read the article correctly, they want to cut down real trees to paint fake trees? Only government officials would think like this.

Local voters could decide fate of pot industry There’s a good chance marijuana will be in front of voters again this fall. This time, though, the decision will be whether to keep the industry out, not whether to let it in. A bill passed by the state House on April 10 would erase bans on marijuana businesses that have been locally enacted
by elected officials in Kent, Pacific and 56 other cities, plus a handful of counties. But the bill would allow voters a chance to impose a prohibition on marijuana growers, processors or retailers through passage of a local ballot measure – even in a city or county where the budding weed industry is blossoming.
owners arrived. Knowing there was a water tank there, they shouldn’t have anything to complain about. If the homeowners there are complaining about it, have them pay for it. Buy the way, the other tank in Lakeland Hills that is clearly visible from everywhere – and not real nice to look at – has the painted trees on it. It doesn’t look any better. I suggest that the members get up to Lakeland and take a look at both tanks and really decide which is better, nature or fake nature. – David Alexander

And another 50-plus cities and counties have moratoriums limiting the industry in some fashion. [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

His younger brother needed a little help, so when we arrived, we just basically walked him up.” Terhune that as of April 9 it was still unclear whether both, or only one of the brothers, slid. “The 7-year-old stayed near his grandmother. We helped him back. We assessed the grandmother. She has some minor injuries, nothing life threatening. We had to make some decisions if it would be safer to bring her back up or safer to take her down to the river bank and bring in a boat. So the decision was made to bring in a boat. We had one come from Kent and one from Renton. She said to our people that she only slid about 20 feet, but I think when you are sliding you might not know how far you’ve slid.” After reaching Holt at the
base of the hill, firefighters determined that, in addition to the initial slide, she had fallen approximately 20 feet off a vertical ledge. Because of the steep, difficult terrain, rescuers carried the injured woman in a stokes basket down to the banks of the White River, where a swift water raft team transported her to an awaiting ambulance, authorities said. Holt was ultimately transferred to a VRFA aid car and transported to Auburn Regional Medical Center in stable condition. She later was transported to Harborview Medical Center with back injuries. Fire departments from throughout South King County helped in the effort, among them Federal Way, Kent, Maple Valley, North Highline, Renton, Tukwila, and King County Medic One.

of conditions to it: one is that if the housing license remains in good standing, it is a grandfathered license. But the hearing examiner also included some performance conditions, Tate continued. “For the first three years, there are a number of things that the property owner has to do to ensure that it continues to fit into the neighborhood. I believe the hearing examiner was comfortable doing that because the owner
of the houses lives close and can keep a very close eye on what is happening on those properties. So the license is vested, but the conditional use permit creates an opening for what you do after three years.” Nearby residents originally approached the City because they were concerned that too many tenants, most of them students at nearby Green River Community College, were being crammed into houses that were built as single-family residences.
The 11-year-old grandson walked up the hillside on his own and cooly called 911. Crews rescued the younger grandson, who was not hurt, and left the boys in the care of their mother. Holt is recovering from minor injuries at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Kimberly Terhune, VRFA public information officer, said that the boy’s call came in to Valley Com at about 3:10 p.m. “He said that he and his little brother had been walking along with their grandmother and their dog, and that his grandmother had slipped and fallen and was possibly injured, and that she was talking to him and he needed help getting her out,” Terhune said at the scene. “He was able to walk out on his own

Sounds like they would not be allowed because they often do cause problems, so here we are with the situation on where do they live. Although there are a few who are willing to get a job, there are those who are able bodied but have said, “Why should I work? There are places here to eat every day. I get free medical, dental and clothing. Don’t pay taxes, etc?” I would like to see a place where the homeless could “hang out” besides the library and have a place to stay during the bad weather months.

A ticket and a lecture I recently met one of Auburn’s finest. While driving on 37th Street Northwest, I stopped at the light at West Valley Highway. A police car pulled up with lights and the siren going. I went across the road to a wide driveway and put my window down. He said on his P.A. system, “Don’t block the driveway.” I put my window up and proceeded to the only safe place to pull over (about one-third of a mile). He said he had been telling me to pull over on his P.A. system. I told him I was hard of hearing, deaf in one ear and 75 percent hearing in the other.

Rottles, you will be missed As a country girl growing up on a dairy farm between Enumclaw and Auburn and attending school in Enumclaw, I remember my mom buying me beautiful school clothes at Rottles. It was my favorite store. What a treat. My mom (1911-1991) was a true Auburn girl. She graduated from Auburn High School, and every Saturday she drove to Auburn to visit her mom and to shop. I remember Kaspers, the Rainbow Café, Nelson’s Jewelers and, of course, Rottles. If I was lucky, I would get a banana split at the Rainbow before leaving town. The last errand of the day would be stopping at Massey’s grocery store where she would buy groceries for the week. Rottles, you will be missed. Good luck to Jim and John in their retirement and to their father, Don. – Christine Fant

www.auburn-reporter.com State lawmakers began the 2015 legislative session determined to address the rejection of marijuana businesses. Many lawmakers did not support Initiative 502 but now want to ensure that those getting into the business are not prevented from doing so. Plus, this is a potential moneymaker for the state. Because of that, there’s general agreement in the House and Senate that the state should share a small piece of marijuana tax revenue with cities and counties – but only if they allow approved marijuana businesses in their jurisdictions. They hope such a financial incentive will encourage communities to drop their bans. But House members didn’t feel that would be enough to change behavior, so in HB 2136 they wipe out the bans and moratoriums and offer two paths to re-impose them via the ballot. Under one scenario, a voter can submit a petition signed by at least 30 percent of the registered voters of a community to the elected leaders of that city or county. The other is for members of a city council, or county council, to put it on the ballot. A simple majority is required to pass it. And a voter-approved ban cannot be altered or repealed for two years under the House bill. These elements of preemption and voting face an uncertain future in the Senate. Senators left them
But according to the affidavit for determination of probable cause, the document in which Auburn Police lay out their case against Jimerson, a stray bullet, fired by an unknown person, likely killed Greer. As of Tuesday evening, Jimerson was awaiting extradition in a Texas jail. In asking for $5 million bail, prosecutor Charles Sergis described to a superior court judge the alleged shooter’s lengthy criminal record, which includes prior adult convictions for assault and negligent driving and several juvenile convictions. “Despite being a convicted felon, the defendant retrieved a gun from his vehicle in the course of a fistfight outside the Sports Page Tavern on March 31, 2013,” Sergis said. “He then returned to the scene of the fight, where he shot and killed both Nicholas Lindsay and Lorenzo Duncan while they were on the ground, defenseless. Several witnesses describe the killing as ‘execution style.’ “The defendant poses a significant danger to public safety, given the callous disregard for human life he displayed during these crimes. He is likely to fail to appear since he is facing a very lengthy prison sentence if convicted,” Sergis said. According to what witnesses told detectives, events began to unfold hours earlier inside the bar, when two groups, one of them celebrating a going-away party for a relative of Jimerson who was to report to the Department of Corrections, got into a verbal dispute. According to the affidavit, the victim group,

earnest, ran to his car across the lot and grabbed a gun. An estimated 20-to-30 seconds after the warning shot, multiple individuals pulled out their handguns and began firing. Although witness accounts of the fatal shootings vary widely, a number of witnesses identified or described Jimerson as the man who shot and killed the two men. One witness recalled that as Lindsay lay on the ground, dazed and trying to stand up, he, the witness, heard the first gun shots. He said he then saw a man standing over Lindsay with a gun. The witness told detectives that while the man, whom he later identified as Jimerson from his clothing, was standing over Lindsay, it appeared he shot him twice, at close range, even though Lindsay had nothing in his hands, “like an execution.” According to the affidavit, as Duncan came up to help Lindsay, he suddenly wheeled around to run away, whereupon, the witness said, Jimerson shot him in the back then shot him again while he was on the ground. According to the affidavit, this account matched that given by other witnesses, as did the description of the shooter’s clothing. A friend later transported Jimerson to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center with multiple bullet wounds. Duncan, Greer and Lindsay were pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives who processed the scene found more than 16 spent casings, live rounds and five bullets from several different caliber weapons, including .9 mm, .45. .40 and .44 caliber.

which was there to celebrate a birthday, included Lindsay, Duncan and Greer. According to court records, the argument started between two women on the dance floor, one of them of the group that included Duncan, Lindsay and Greer. The physical fight only showed its head outside in the parking lot, five minutes after closing, as about 100 patrons milled into the parking lot and security was herding people to their cars to clear the lot, tavern owner Joe Mahoney told the Auburn Reporter shortly after the shootings. “On the dance floor in the building, there was no problem. They were arguing outside about a girlfriend dancing with another guy or something like that. Our security had no problems inside the building, none at all,” Mahoney said. Loud talk from one of the women outside led to a fistfight between the men in the two groups, according to the affidavit. According to the affidavit, a few of the fighters went south of the parking lot and out onto Auburn Way North to fight and the rest began moving north through the parking lot, toward where the fatal shots were later fired. At some point, a witness began filming the fight on his cellphone, but the video did not show conclusively from what direction the initial shots were fired. Several witnesses told police that a woman first fired a warning shot into the air to break up the fight. Hearing that, a witness said, a man, perhaps believing that shots were being fired in

out of a similar bill they considered earlier in the session. Should they emerge, it could create some interesting ballot dynamics. One might expect leaders of cities with bans to try to preserve them. That could force this year’s candidates for city and county offices, including county executive, to choose sides, knowing their decision could enrage enough voters to hurt them in an election. On Monday, the Legislature added another twist. A bill passed by the Senate and heading to the governor brings the medical marijuana industry under the regulatory structure of the recreational market. Soon, hundreds of dispensaries will have to abide the rules of the province where they operate. If it’s a city whose leaders and voters want to impose a ban via the ballot, those dispensing marijuana might need to respond with a campaign or be prepared to relocate. Then there are situations where residents frustrated by the presence of dispensaries in their neighborhood might try their hand at limiting or outlawing dispensaries via a ballot measure. So there’s great potential for not just one big battle over marijuana in Washington this fall but many small ones in communities throughout the state.

different mammograms Q. A friend of mine
capable of doing just that. To elaborate, standard digital mammograms essentially take a picture of a woman’s breast tissue using an X-ray, and from that, create a photograph that a radiologist evaluates to look for signs of breast cancer. Detecting breast cancer is more difficult for women with dense breast tissue. To illustrate, picture a photograph of a forest full of trees. If there are very few trees, it is easy to see a deer in the forest. However, if there are lots and lots of trees, it becomes more difficult. Breast cancer hiding in dense breast tissue is the same way – normal overlapping breast tissue can sometimes hide a cancer. 3D Tomosynthesis displays the breast tissue
said she had a 3D mammogram. What is the difference between that and the digital mammograms I get every year?
A.
There is mounting evidence that obtaining a mammogram with Tomosynthesis (also known as 3D) is one of the greatest advancements in the arena of early detection, for two main reasons: 1. Tomosynthesis detects small cancers at an earlier stage, especially for women with dense breast tissue; and 2. It significantly reduces call-back rates and false alarms compared to standard 2D digital mammograms. Very few medical tests ever have the ability to increase both sensitivity and specificity – in medicine this almost never happens – yet 3D has proven itself

cell carcinoma is known to present in a number of ways clinically. In later stages, oral cancers commonly spread to local lymph nodes, into the lymphatic system and may spread throughout the body. Other variants of malignant oral cancers include; verrucous carcinoma, which may appear as a cauliflower like mass; malignant melanoma, which can appear as a dark pigmented lesion; and several types of salivary gland carcinomas. Age, smoking, use of smokeless tobacco and excessive alcohol use have historically been the primary factors increasing the risk of developing oral cancer. Smoking and alcohol have a synergistic effect, causing those who both smoke and drink to have a 15 times greater risk of developing oral cancer than those who do not.

The appearance, location, relevant risk factors and history of a lesion will be taken into account, but the only way to definitively diagnose a suspicious lesion is through a biopsy. An oral pathologist will then examine the biopsied specimen under a microscope and diagnose the lesion at a cellular level. Multiple types of oral cancers exist, the most prevalent being squamous cell carcinoma. This variant accounts for more than 90 percent of malignant oral cancers, and is most frequently found along the side of the tongue. In early stages, a subtle white lesion, red lesion, or red and white mixed lesion that persists for 2 weeks or more may be present.

20th Season
When horse racing rose from ashes to win By Dennis Box
A
Enumclaw Courier-Herald
pril 18 marks the 20th year of Thoroughbred horse racing at Emerald Downs and another evolution for the sport in Washington that extends back to the opening day of Longacres Park in 1933. The historical timeline of Thoroughbred racing is a story of highs and lows with many wins and losses while the horses continued to travel around the one-mile oval track. The most recent turn came in November when the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe announced that an agreement was reached with Northwest Racing Associates to purchase the Emerald Downs racing facility.
PASSING THE TORCH For an outside observer, the change of ownership appears to be little more than a series of LLC corporate names and titles. Below those corporate names and titles are many people who worked, and, at times fought very hard, to keep Thoroughbred racing alive in this state. Topping that list is Ron Crockett. He was the president of Northwest Racing Associates, and ever since the opening day of Emerald Downs he has lead the day-to-day operations of the track and the industry in this state. On Sept. 21, 1992, Longacres Park in Renton closed its gates for the last time, ending a 59-year run. Longacres was sold to Boeing by the Alhadeff family, heirs of the track’s founder, Joe Gottstein. According to the 1992 Longacres Park Commemorative Year Book, Boeing paid the Alhadeff family an estimated $90 million. The day it closed many thought the last thoroughbred had raced in Washington. Crockett was not one of those people. A look back at the many articles written – beginning in 1990 when the announcement was made that Longacres would close, to 1996 when Emerald Downs opened – tells a complex story of many people working to keep racing alive, sometimes at crosspurposes. The inside story of the last days of Longacres and the founding of Emerald Downs is far beyond the scope of this article. The short version centers on Crockett – a 1957 Renton High graduate who in 1962 earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington. His passion for the sport is evident
Ron Crockett led the effort to preserve horse racing in the state as president of Emerald Downs and Northwest Racing Associates.
from this anecdote. He started going to Longacres when one of his college friends got a job working for the track. Crockett bought his first horse through a claiming race in 1974. The racing hook was set, but his first win did not come until 16 years had passed, with Saucy Affair in the 1990 running of the Tukwila Stakes. That 16-year period fired a love of Thoroughbreds in Crockett, and he would go on to become one of the leaders in a partnership that saved racing in the state. Crockett, with other racing enthusiasts and investors, formed Northwest Racing Associates. The partnership was able to follow a thread through a labyrinth of legal, legislative and land-use issues to finally build Emerald Downs and bring live racing back to Washington on June 20, 1996. Emerald Downs trainer Frank Lucarelli said, “There wouldn’t be any racing at Emerald Downs if it wasn’t for Ron Crockett. He’s the reason racing is here.”
NEW DAY The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe was involved in the state’s horse racing industry long before the ownership announcement
in 2014. In 2000 the Tribe planned to purchase Playfair in Spokane, but the deal was never completed. The Tribe purchased the 157-acres where Emerald Downs is located in 2004. When the Tribe took over the day-to-day operations of Emerald Downs, Muckleshoot Tribal Council Chair Virginia Cross said in a release, “The Tribe’s long-standing support of the state’s thoroughbred racing industry continues with this transaction. It is the Tribe’s goal to keep the thoroughbred horse racing industry as a viable part of our state’s economy. Emerald Downs sits in the center of the Tribe’s historical homeland, and this transaction makes it an important part of our economic development program.” After purchasing the land in 2004 the Tribe began contributing to purses and, according to a release from the track, the enhancements reached more than $11 million through 2014. Since assuming ownership, Phil Ziegler, executive manager and president of Emerald Downs Racing, announced a 20 percent increase in daily overnight purses along with a ship-and-run program paying a $400 bonus to owners in the first start for their out-of-state horses at Emerald. With the opening day Saturday, Director of Racing Bret Anderson said the number of horses on the grounds is already up from the previous few years. The 2014 winner of the Longacres Mile and Horse of the Meet, Stryker Phd, is training at Emerald with a repeat victory in sight for owners Jim and Mona Hour, and trainer Larry Ross. The 2015 jockey colony is shaping up to be one the strongest in years, with the 2014 leading rider Leslie Mawing back in the saddle along with the Emerald Downs’ all-time leading rider, Gallyn Mitchell, and two-time Mile winner, Juan Gutierrez. Crockett will serve as a consultant for the 2015 season. He still owns races horses. The first race breaks from the gate shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday. Once again, the horses will run, the crowd will cheer and pictures of the winners will be taken. Horse racing is back.

T
he marquee race each year at Emerald Downs is the $200,000 Longacres Mile, Grade 3. It is the topbilled race among a series of stakes featured at the Auburn oval. The 2014 winner of the Mile, Stryker Phd, will attempt to become the third horse in the 80-year history of the Mile to win the stakes back-to-back.
The most recent was Simply Majestic in 198889. Trooper Seven won in 1980-81. Stryker, a 5-year-old Washington-bred gelding by Bertrando, is trained by Larry Ross and owned by Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue. The Mile victory was the second for Ross, who won the race in 1985 with Chum Salmon. Ross said Stryker is in training at Emerald Downs and is pointing to the first
installment in the Mile series, the $50,000 Governor’s Handicap at 6½ furlongs May 17. The gelding has run two races since the 2014 meet at Emerald. He ran second by a half length in the one-mile $75,000 Big Bear Stakes at Santa Anita Oct. 30 to Regally Ready, winner of the 2011 Breeder’s Cup Turf Sprint, Grade 2. He ran third Nov. 30 at Golden Gate in the Grade 3 Berkeley Handicap. The 2014 Top Juvenile Male, Trackattacker, is working out at Emerald for five-time leading trainer Frank Lucarelli.

Jockeys Eliska Kubinova The jockey colony at Emerald teems with interesting stories of the riders’ lives. Eliska Kubinova is one of the more unusual. The 26-year-old Czech Republic immigrant gave birth to her daughter, Emilie, six weeks ago. Last Saturday the 5-foot 3-inch Kubinova was working horses and preparing to ride opening day. She began riding about three weeks after giving birth. “It feels good now,” Kubinova said. “It was not so much fun having her, but now is fine.” Last season at Emerald, Kubinova won 51 races, 18 percent, from 290 starts earning $519,594. Kubinova, who came to the U.S.

when she was 21, jumped on her first horse when she was a toddler. Beginning when she was about 5 years old, she did “gymnastics on horses. I have always loved horses and have always been around horses.” Kubinova said her mother, Naďa, first taught her how to ride and encouraged her to attend jockey school in Prague. Her mother rode show horses and jumpers and now watches all of her races online. Kubinova said every win is special to her. Last season she won the Barbara Shinpoch Stakes aboard Pippa Bou Peep for trainer Charlie Essex and rode Disruption
Gallyn Mitchell, the all-time leading rider for Emerald Downs in wins, earnings and stakes, will ride his last season at Emerald Downs and hang up the colors on the final day of the meet. The 53-year-old Enumclaw resident said after 34 years of riding and 2,710 winning rides, the time has come. “I still love the game,” Mitchell said. “This is my call. I don’t want to be forced or be broke up.” Mitchell has won 1,387 races at the Auburn oval, and in 2000 he rode 13 stakes winners. He has ridden five winning horses in one day four times, and he won the riding title twice in 1999 and 2000. Mitchell has been generally injury free except for the last couple of years. He had surgery on his thumb when a horse stepped on him and a heart attack at the beginning of the 2013 [ more RUN page 13 ]

season. He returned at the end of the season to ride and win a race aboard Chasing Pete on closing day. The victory continued his streak as the only Emerald jockey to win a race in every season at the track. Once Mitchell decided to retire, he said he told is wife and agent, Denise, “I’m going out with gusto. Since this is my last run, let’s go for it.” Mitchell said he has no specific plans to announce, except he will be spending more time with his two grandchildren, ages 1 and 4, when the final ride ends.
Leslie Mawing The 2014 leading rider, Leslie Mawing, will be the jockey to beat once again this season at Emerald. Mawing took his second title with 102 victories at 25 percent with $1,225,402 in earnings. He rode 11 stakes winners from 24 starts, which earned him the 2014 Top Riding Achievement award. Among those 11 stakes was his first win picture in the Longacres Mile aboard Stryker Phd. The 41-year-old Mawing took the riding title in 2011 with 129 wins.
For his career, Mawing has ridden 2,260 winners with $24,664,398 in earnings.
Francisco Duran Francisco Duran plans to ride the full meet at Emerald Downs for the first time since 2010. The 37-year-old Stockton, Calif., native has had a successful career riding in California. Duran said he came to riding in his mid 20s, later than most jockeys, but the saddle suited him well. He was third runner-up for the apprentice Eclipse award for the 2002
[13]
season after winning 202 races. Duran has won 1,354 races in his career with $21,680,349 in earnings. At the close of the 2010 Emerald Downs season, he finished fourth with 75 wins with total earnings of $745,721. “I did really good the year I was here,” Duran said. “You never stop learning in this business. You learn something new every day, and even the little things can help you along the way.” Duran said, “It is very difficult to explain, that winning sensation and crossing the wire first. It’s a natural adrenaline rush.”

he central nervous system of Emerald Downs is tucked away behind Sally and Joe Steiner’s Quarter Chute Cafe – the racing office. It may be the one spot least known to the public. Without the daily work going on behind the chesthigh counter, however the gates do not open either for the public or the horses. Bret Anderson has been the director of racing – often referred to as the racing secretary – for the past nine years. Prior to taking the director’s position, he worked as the assistant racing secretary, beginning in 1990 at Longacres Park. A race secretary’s job is filled with ad-hoc conferences, controversy and
finding ways to keep the peace in a highly competitive and emotionally – charged atmosphere. Anderson said his days are filled with a dizzying array of tasks. One of the most critical jobs is writing condition books for race days. Condition books list all the possible races for about a 10-day period. Anderson also is responsible for reviewing and approving all of the horses on the grounds. Emerald Downs has stalls for more than 1,200 horses. He grew up in Rainier Beach and began working at Longacres when he was 16. Anderson has spent four decades in horse racing. He began washing dishes in the cafe and later was a security guard and worked on the track maintenance crew. He got his first job in the
Bret Anderson in his office at Emerald Downs
race office from Longacres race secretary Glen Williams, who Anderson said was one of his “best teachers.” Coming up through the ranks has served Anderson well as director of racing. When trainers are entering horses for the upcoming races and the office buzzes with activity, Anderson is always right in the middle of the action. “I like to talk to the horsemen,” he said. “There is a better line of communication if I am out there
rather than in my office.” The job of a racing secretary is not without some controversy and criticism, but Anderson said he fell in love with the track as a teenager and the affair is not over yet. “When they offered me the job I said I would do it for one year, and if you don’t like me, I’ll go back to what I was doing before,” Anderson said. “I’m still here.” The race office takes a full staff to keep the operation running. The crew working with Anderson includes: 18-year track veteran Jan McDowell, administrative assistant; Rene Harris, assistant race secretary; horseman’s liaison Dana Claxton; Vern Baze, stable superintendent; and Jan Baze, horseman’s bookkeeper.

Last year was no picnic for the Auburn Riverside boys soccer team. Although the squad did not lack for talent, finding the back of the net was a struggle, the boys scoring just 12 goals all season and finishing up with a 1-9-6 overall record. At mid point this season, the team has eclipsed that sum. Indeed, its leading scorer, Jordan Loomans, has already tallied 12 goals all by himself. Senior Adrian Correa, a four-year varsity starter, said the key this year has been the chemistry. “Offensively, we’re more creative and more of a threat,” Correa said. “And we play for each other more this year, we look for each other and combine more. We all work hard. Before we had individual talent, but nobody worked for each other. On the field we don’t argue with each other, we stay as one as a team. We’re always a team, not individuals.” The team has benefitted as well from the return of junior midfielder Brandon Gonzalez, who took his sophomore year off to play

Raven stars Adrian Correa, left, and Brandon Gonzalez, right, are helping power a resurgence by the Auburn Riverside soccer squad, which is in second-place in the SPSL 3A. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter with the Sounder’s Academy developmental team. “It’s pretty much like the top level youth soccer teams,” Gonzalez said. “It’s an MLS (Major League Soccer) academy, so we play teams all over the country like Los Angeles, San Diego, all over. So I didn’t get to
play for the high school last year. But this year I’m back.” Gonzalez said that as one of the youngest payers on the Academy’s U18 team, he didn’t expect to get much playing time, so he arranged to play for Auburn Riverside this year.

Lion, Trojan and Raven boys soccer previews at-a-glance Auburn Riverside
Auburn
Auburn Mountainview
Coach: Robyn Saarenas, 13th year. Last year: 1-9-6 South Puget Sound League 4A North, seventh place. Top performers: Adrian Correa, senior, mid; Brandon Gonzalez, junior, mid; and Jordan Loomans, senior, forward. Outlook: Last year scoring goals was an issue for the Ravens, who battled to a mind-boggling nine ties, scoring just 12 goals. This year Auburn Riverside has already eclipsed that total in just seven games, with a whopping 27 goals against opponents. Loomis leads the way with his 12 goals, with Gonzalez – who did not turn out for the Ravens this past season so he could play for the Sounders Academy – right behind him with six goals. According to Saarenas, senior Correa, who will play for Tacoma Community College next season, sets the tone for the team. Defensively, Auburn Riveside has been fierce, allowing just four goals in seven contests. The team is tied for first in the SPSL 3A with Peninsula, both at 6-0-1 with 19 points. Key dates: The Ravens host crosstown rival Auburn Mountainview for the second time on April 29. The team’s second tilt against Auburn is scheduled for May 1 at Auburn Memorial Stadium, and a May 4 contest against Peninsula at Auburn Riverside could decide the SPSL 3A title.
Coach: John Yorke, 22nd year
Coach: Jason Schrader, first year Last year: 7-3-0 South Puget Sound League 3A, second place. 12-4-1 overall. The Lions went 3-1 in the postseason. Top performers: Corado Flores, sophomore, center back, center mid; Eduardo “Duvan” Vaca-Trujillo, junior, center mid; Nick Hytrek, senior, goalkeeper; Erick De Anda, sophomore, striker; and Bharkaren “Karen” Kang, senior, defender. Outlook: The Lions return a strong group from last year’s team. The Lions scored a whopping 40 goals while giving up just 13 and hope to continue that ratio this season. Already the team is solidly in the top tier of league with a 4-2-0 league record, 4-2-0 overall. The Lions look to De Anda, who as the team’s highest scorer last season as a freshman, to provide the firepower. Vaca-Truillo and Flores will distribute the ball, with Hytrek and Kang looking to blank opposing offensives. According to Schrader, who takes the program over this season, the Lions boast “strong soccer skills throughout the positions, strong (midfielders) and slower, but solid defenders.” Key dates: Auburn Mountainview faces crosstown rival Auburn on April 23 at Auburn Memorial Stadium and travels to Auburn Riverside on April 29. The team closes out the regular season May 6 at Peninsula.
[ RAVENS from page 15 ] improve his chances to play at the next level. “I think this is probably the last year I’ll play high school,” he said. “The exposure is just much greater [with the Sounder Academy].” For this year, however, Gonzalez is applying his
Last year: 5-9-2 SPSL 4A North, sixth place. Top performers: Logan Jones, senior, defender; Ron Williams, senior, defender; Geo Barrientos, junior midfielder; and Noah McCabe, junior, midfielder. Outlook: Look for the Trojans to be a defense-first team this year as they make their way through the SPSL 3A. The team is 3-3-0 league, 4-4-0 overall, with 17 goals scored, and just 10 given up to opponents. A big part of that is returning defenders Jones and Williams the latter, an allleague first-teamer last season. Offensively, freshman Brian Ramos looks to provide scoring. So far this year, he leads the team with four goals. Barrientos also will contribute and has two goals so far this season. The team, with just three seniors, looks to gain experience quickly in the SPSL 3A. “We are young, and we will work hard, ” Yorke said. Key dates: Auburn hosts Auburn Mountainview on April 23 and Auburn Riverside on May 1. The team closes out the regular season May 6 at Sumner.
skills and the experience he garnered with Sounders Academy to his high school squad. “It’s helped a lot with my development as a player, playing at that higher level,” Gonzalez said. “Coming back here and playing with these guys just pushes you further to become a leader.”
Also stepping up to help lead the Ravens in its quest for the postseason is Correa, one of the team’s co-captains. “I just want to try to help the team and be a leader on the field,” Correa said. Although the addition of Gonzalez and the continued improvement of
Correa have helped spark Auburn Riverside this season, head coach Robyn Saarenas said the supporting cast has stepped up, too. “The supporting cast is absolutely amazing,” Saarenas said. “[Goalkeeper Andy Starkel] has been huge, he’s having the season of his
life, and he’s only a sophomore. And my two center backs (senior co-captain Nick Rogerson and senior transfer Charlie Gulotta) are solid as a rock. Add Loomans to that mix, and we have a good group.” And the success brought on by this year’s squad has translated into more support at games, Correa and

These individuals have given countless hours of their time instilling young people with the skills needed to succeed in all areas of life. The Washington Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame hosts a banquet at 2 p.m., June 14 at the Red Lion Hotel in Olympia to honor the inductees. A polio survivor, Herren went to college on a wrestling scholarship. He then coached in Wenatchee and at Auburn High, where he was named Washington State Coach of the Year and was inducted into the Washington Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame. “This is a great honor,” Herren said. “Wrestling has been a huge part of my life.” Gonzalez say. “We have more fans now,” Gonzalez said. “It feels good, we have more fans at games now than any other year,’ Correa said. Auburn Riverside (6-1-0 league, 6-2-1 overall) hosts Enumclaw (2-5-0, 3-5-1) at 7 p.m. April 22 at Auburn Riverside High School.

in thin layers, allowing the radiologist to detect a cancer that might have been hidden. About 10 percent of the time, women get called back for an additional evaluation of a potentially suspicious area on her mammogram, but in about 95 percent of cases, the suspicious area turns out to be a false alarm. Those recall evaluations may cause temporary anxiety for women and can be expensive. Tomosynthesis allows the radiologist to examine the suspicious areas more clearly and resolve if it is – or is not – potentially cancer. 3D mammography significantly reduces call
back rates and false alarms compared to 2D mammography.
Q.
I know you have mentioned not skipping years in between mammograms before, but my doctor still says it is OK to do so.
A.
Yes, I covered skipping years versus yearly mammograms in a previous article. Recently, new research published in a leading scientific journal found that skipping even one year gave that population of women a 2.3-fold increase risk in mortality versus the women who had not missed any years. In addition, there was a progressive risk in mor-

www.auburn-reporter.com [ FIELDS from page 10 ] cancer, more recently, the human papilloma virus (HPV16), which is sexually transmitted, has been associated with cancers of the throat and back of mouth. This is the same virus, along with HPV18, that causes more than 90 percent of cervical cancers. The HPV16 virus is rapidly changing the demographics of people diagnosed with oral cancer, as people who have the HPV16 variant of oral cancer may be young, non-drinkers and non-smokers. The fastest growing segment of the oral cancer population is now in non-smokers under the age of 50. HPV16 is found as the causative factor in an estimated 26-35 percent of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Fortunately, infection with HPV16 does not mean that a person will develop oral cancer. The immune system will often clear the infection before a malignancy has the chance to occur. HPV vaccines, such as Gardasil and Cervarix, are intended to prevent cervical and genital cancers. Based on the known mechanisms of action, HPV vaccines may also reduce the risk of oral cancers, though studies have not yet been performed to determine this. If a diagnosis of HPV16 positive squamous cell carcinoma is made, this variant, as opposed to the HPV16 negative squamous cell carcinoma, tends to have better outcomes. The difficulty lies in detecting the cancer in its early stages, as HPV16 positive squamous cell carcinoma may not have any visual signs, and instead may only be detectable by patient reports of prolonged difficulty with swallowing or hoarseness. In our office, we screen every patient for oral cancer as a part of the routine dental exam. The visual and tactile examination is combined with a diagnostic aid, called the VELscope. This non-invasive screening device does not replace the conventional examination, but it does aid in finding abnormalities that may not be visible to the naked eye. After evaluation of a suspicious lesion, if biopsy is indicated, a referral will be made to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon will discuss biopsy results, prognosis and potential treatment options with the patient. This treatment may range from active observation to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation involving the additional expertise of head and neck medical oncologists. Jennifer Fields, DDS, is a general dentist at Simply Smiles, a dental practice in Auburn. For more information, visit www. SimplySmilesAuburn.com, call 253-939-6900, or email info@ SimplySmilesAuburn.com.
