City’s homeless plight: a complex problem Pat Bailey Auburn’s community healthcare consultant, is working with city leaders to find ways to help the homeless. ROBERT WHALE,
Task force goes to work as leaders look for answers BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
While compiling her recent report on homelessness for Mayor Nancy Backus, Pat Bailey heard a lot about what it is doing to Auburn businesses.
Auburn Reporter
How things have gotten much worse over the last few years. From the apartment manager, who, frustrated by homeless finding their way into his building at night despite security measures, threw
up his hands in exasperation and said: “I’m too old for this!” to the businessman who cut down the vegetation behind his store to keep people from sleeping there. Yet, as Bailey, the City’s community healthcare con-
sultant, knows very well, the affect the homeless population is having on business is only one facet of a multisided, complex issue. To glean more, a friend advised Bailey, get yourself to McDonald’s on Auburn Way South at about 6 a.m., and [ more HOMELESS page 4 ]

Prosecutors allege that Francisco Javier Escobedo killed 19-year-old Alize Gonzalez during an argument over drugs in the early morning hours of Nov. 10, then callously dumped her body alongside a road in Kent. The King County Prosecutor on Tuesday charged the 30-year-old Auburn man with second-degree murder while in the possession of a hand gun. Arraignment is at 9 a.m., Monday, Nov. 30 in Courtroom GA at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Bail is $2 million. “Given that the defendant killed a young woman and dumped her body on the side of the road during a drug-fueled encounter, the amount of bail requested is appropriate,” prosecutor Jessica Berliner told the court.

Auburn High theater students get a taste of Shakespeare BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
All the world’s a stage, and Auburn High School’s theater students are more than happy to be players. On Monday, that is exactly what they did as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival presented the works of the Bard in an
interactive workshop where attendees performed excerpts from the famed plays. When AuKerr burn theater teacher Warren Kerr first found out about OSF’s School Visit
Program, he was intrigued by the prospect of bringing it to Auburn. At almost 80 years old, OSF is believed to be the oldest of its kind in the United States, producing 11 plays in a 10-month season every year. “I said I can’t take my kids down there to see them,” Kerr [ more BARD page 16 ]

Pet owners appeal potential dangerous dog designation BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
SWAMPED
The week’s heavy rain led to areas of urban flooding throughout Auburn, including the closure Monday of 37th Street Northwest, east of West Valley Highway. More rain pelted the valley Tuesday, but the forecast promises a reprieve this weekend. ROBERT WHALE, Reporter
[ MURDER from page 1 ] Here is what happened, based on eyewitness accounts contained in the Determination for Certification of Probable Cause filed by the Auburn Police Department on Nov. 17. Gonzalez, Escobedo and two others had spent the day and night of Nov. 9 consuming illegal drugs in Escobedo’s apartment at 3312 I St. NE, according to the account. At about 2 a.m., Escobedo and Gonzalez got into an argument, she calling him names and cursing at him for not having provided
more drugs, according to what the two other people present later told police. According to the police account, at one point Gonzalez punched Escobedo in the face, but the blow did not appear to have done any harm because of the difference in size and weight between the two, he outweighing her by more than 100 pounds. At one point, according to what those present told police, Escobedo pulled a handgun from his pants pocket, pushed Gonzalez away,
pointed the gun at her and, within a foot of her head, shot her in the neck. According to the witnesses, Gonzalez immediately fell down against the wall in the corner, where she appeared to be dead. One of the witnesses told police that after firing, Escobedo picked up the spent casing and commented that he was going to leave to “get rid of the gun,” at which point the witnesses fled the apartment.

Richard and Linda Knowles say Katie Bergstrom’s Labrador retriever attacked and severely wounded their dog, Taffy, last summer. A month later, Auburn Police declared “Sue” a dangerous dog. That means if she is to keep her dog, Bergstrom must fulfill a number of requirements outlined in City ordinance, including registration of her’s as a potentially dangerous dog and the construction of adequate containment. Bergstrom has since appealed the designation, placing Sue’s fate in the hands of the City’s Hearing Examiner. Hearing Examiner Phil Olbrechts heard Bergstrom’s appeal Wednesday at City Hall after this issue went to press. Here according to the police account is what happened. On Aug. 23, Richard and Linda Knowles and their dog were returning along R Street
Southeast from a morning stroll through Auburn’s Game Farm Park. At 10:50 a.m., according to police, the couple were on a sidewalk, passing a back yard enclosed by a wooden fence at 1515 33rd St. SE, when a male Labrador retriever mix stuck its head through the fence, clamped its teeth around Taffy’s lower jaw and began to drag the terrified dog through. Taffy’s owners freed their bleeding dog and sped her to the Sumner Veterinary Hospital, where a veterinarian sutured the puncture wounds in her jaw. According to police, Bergstrom later told Animal Control Officer George Winner that she had been at home during the presumably noisy attack but hadn’t heard a thing. Moreover, she said, her dog, could not have been the attacker: the hole in the fence at that spot was too small for her dog to have poked his head through. [ more DOG page 5 ]

talk to some of the people who hang out there. “They were very talkative, very, very engaging,� Bailey said of the middle-aged man, the 18-year-old and the young couple she met. “They told me about living on the streets, the difficulties they faced, and what we don’t have here in Auburn. I wanted to know if there was a solution, and what the City could do to help.� The man said the homeless in Auburn fit into three broad categories. For starters, he said, there’s the chronic homeless person like him: has a job, makes enough money to pay for food and clothes but does not earn enough to pay for a place to live. And without enough overnight beds in Auburn, a person like that has nowhere to go. Next, is the acute homeless: the woman who has lost her job, her house, has no friends or relatives and is out on the street; the mentally ill; the teenager kicked out of the house, the abused. The third category is composed of 15 to 20 men, some of whom take and sell drugs, are violent and are known to harass others.
It’s ‘cool’ The young homeless man described a fourth category: people in their late teens to early 20s, like he is, who think homelessness is “cool.� What surprised Bailey was that the guy had a home and family in Seattle he could turn to. As she recalled, he said: “Yeah, I got beat up once and got my nose broken,� before adding that that was the “cool� part. “You get to tell people you live on the streets, and
that you got beat up and survived. That seemed rather strange to me,� Bailey said. But as Rebecca Roy of the South King County Homeless Coalition told Backus’ Task Force on Homelessness Tuesday evening, “Going from house to homeless, the No. 1 cause of homelessness that we know of, really, is the inability to secure affordable housing. A lot of times people say ‘affordable housing, affordable housing,’ but they don’t define what that is. But the most acceptable definition is anybody who is paying 30 percent of their annual income, 30 percent is considered affordable housing.�
Best ways Bailey also wanted to know what are the best ways to deal with a problem that is in no way limited to Auburn. “One thing many of the homeless said is if you just have a shelter at night and the facilities that go with it ‌ â€? The program Bailey found and studied, called Housing First, was established in 2004 in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Their philosophy is that if you can put something decent over people’s heads – not rat-infested, not crummy living, but something decent over their heads – and along with that, some services to help them get better, their demeanor and everything else changes. And they want to try to be better,â€? Bailey said. “Housing First told me that between 2004 and 2014, they reduced their homeless population by 78 percent. Now, I have to add that there was a lot of money donated in Salt Lake City, and that made a very big difference.â€?
Bailey studied other facilities in the area in terms of housing. Auburn Youth Resources is wonderful, she said, but because of some legislative issues they told her they can’t take care of anybody under 18 or older than 24. Vine Maple Place in Maple Valley is primarily for women and families and has a good reputation. She talked as well to people at the Tacoma Health Department who are working with the homeless. “They told me about Nativity House. It’s just up from downtown Tacoma in a residential area. It’s a brand new, rectangular building, takes up probably half a block, and one of the case managers gave me a tour. I said, ‘If we could bring this to Auburn, it would take care of a lot,’â€? Bailey said. “At the time I was there, although I think it’s increased in male beds, they had 117 overnight beds for males and 50 female and 51 bedroom apartments and along with this they have the social services. ‌ It seemed very efficient.â€?
Top priority Bailey said though some of the above ideas may not suit Auburn, Backus is serious about getting something done. “It’s a top priority on her list,� Bailey said. And that business owners want to be in on any solution. “You can just feel and hear and see the frustration on business people’s faces when you talk about it. But they want to help. That’s one of the things about the people of Auburn,� Bailey said. “I have worked here in Auburn for 37 years, and I have known a lot of people. The people of Auburn really want to help. It’s a ‘just-tellme-how-to-do-it’ sort of thing.�

Winds of change may be blowing in state senate

COMMENTARY
There’s never been a figure in Washington politics quite like Frank Chopp. Since 2002, the Seattle Democrat has served as speaker of the House of Representatives; a 13-year reign that stands as the longest anyone’s ever held the job in state history. If you add in the sessions he shared the gavel in a co-speakership with Republican Clyde Ballard – 1999, 2000 and 2001 - it means Chopp has had his hands on the levers of the legislating process in the Legislature since last century. It’s made him one of the most influential elected officials in Washington, at times seemingly more powerful than governors. That power is on display daily in Olympia at legislative sessions where lobbyists and lawmakers gauge a bill’s chances on “how Frank feels about it.” But it can’t last forever. Insiders in both parties are chattering louder-than-usual that just maybe by this time next year Chopp will be out and Republican leader Dan Kristiansen of Snohomish in as speaker. “It’s Frank’s to lose, and he just might do it,” theorized a veteran GOP insider. “He’s a smart cookie. Never count him out.” Chopp could be handing over the gavel and the Democratic Party ceding its majority in the House because Republicans keep adding to their numbers. They’ve picked up seats in each election cycle since 2008 plus a couple special elections, the latest coming Nov. 3 in a district that straddles King and Pierce counties. Republican Teri Hickel’s defeat of appointed Democratic Rep. Carol Gregory reduced the Democrats’ advantage to 50-48, down from the 63-35 margin it enjoyed in 2008. Several factors are fueling the Republican revival, starting with the recruiting of candidates. Of late, Republicans are doing a better job finding people to run who fit the political philosophy and temperament of their

Special day, and a grand parade I would like to thank the city of Auburn for the wonderful Veterans Day celebration on Nov. 7. Even though the weather was not good, there were still over 5,000 participants and more than 20,000 spectators. Highlights of the day began with a remembrance and lighting of the flame in Veterans Park. Then there was the parade. It was huge. It took more than two hours to pass the reviewing stand. There were many veterans groups and military vehicles. High schools had large groups of ROTC marchers. Most impressive were the high school bands. There were large numbers. Their uniforms looked great, and they came from as far away as Grants Pass, Astoria and Spokane. And I had the honor of riding in the first car with the

Question of the week:
O L ET TERS...YOUR OPINION COUNTS: To submit an item or photo: leaves a big question mark. Why don’t the long past retirees get COLA in their pension checks? We – including myself since 1992 – have living expenses that have risen with community prices going higher. But we still have the same amount of pension without raises. After all, it is, and was, the retirees who made Boeing prosperous in the first place. And to add to this, those who retired and received pensions who passed away, their money is no longer sent out. So, kick in a little of that amount to give the living retirees COLA. – M. Claire Powers

age of money. There are those who think too much is spent on mailers and television commercials, and not enough on contacting voters directly. This can be a big deal. Republicans’ pro-business, anti-tax message lends itself to such forms of communication. Democrats’ talk of creating economic equality, strengthening the safety net and combating climate change don’t translate as well on a mailer. Another challenge facing Chopp and the House Democratic Campaign Committee is a sense of entitlement or complacency among a few members, a product of

13 years of uninterrupted rule. If the Republican takeover in the state Senate didn’t awaken them to the evolving political balance of power, the very real threat of becoming the minority in the House might do the trick. Still, there are those in the caucus who rationalized Gregory’s loss as the result of a low turnout which favored Republicans. They point out 2016 will bring
a presidential election. Participation of Democratic voters will soar and enough victories, they figure, will be racked up to preserve the party’s majority once again.

Valley ‘Y’ joins others in fight against diabetes
Jason Berry, Auburn Valley YMCA executive director, far left, moderates a roundtable discussion with a panel of experts at the Y’s symposium on diabetes prevention. The panel, included, from left: Wendy Bart, manager, vice president, membership and healthy living, YMCA of Greater Seattle; Pam Kozu, manager, Cardiovascular and Diabetes Services, MultiCare Health Systems; Charlotte Foster, chief nurse executive, Swedish Medical Group; Dr. Frances Broyles, director, diabetes and neuroendocrinology programs, Swedish Medical Group; and Blishda Lacet, program manager, chronic disease and injury prevention, King County Public Health.
REPORTER STAFF
It’s a call to action, a focus on prevention. The prediabetes rate continues to rise, and few South King County residents know they are at risk. That’s why the Auburn Valley YMCA brought together medical experts and health care professional together for a diabetes-prevention symposium Nov. 10. The panel of experts discussed the scope and scale of the diabetes epidemic, highlighted the economic and social costs of the disease, and discussed opportunities for collaborations and partnerships to support community-based prevention efforts. November is Bart National Diabetes Awareness Month. “The number of new people with prediabetes continues to rise, and with that the importance of helping residents of South King County understand what a prediabetes diagnosis means,� said Jason Berry, Valley Y executive director. “Type 2 diabetes affects not just the person but entire families as well. But the good news is that it is possible to reverse course – simple lifestyle changes reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, and the Y can help people make the necessary changes to improve health.� Business and community leaders, employers and other stakeholders
MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter
who have an interest in understanding and addressing the diabetes epidemic joined the symposium, posing questions to experts in a roundtable discussion. Statistics for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that one in four Americans (86 million people) have prediabetes, up from 79 million in 2010. Prediabetes is a condition in which a person’s blood glucose is elevated, but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. Only 10 percent of those with prediabetes know they have it, but with awareness and simple actions, people with prediabetes may prevent the onset of diabetes. Wendy Bart, vice president of membership and healthy living for the YMCA, says the risks are there, but so, too, are preventative programs, such as the Y offers. “(And) this program is working,� Bart said of efforts in lifestyle inter-
vention, diet, nutrition and exercise. “Those who are prediabetic need to be aware, understand the risks and be advocates (for change and prevention).� The YMCA’s program is part of a Centers for Disease Control-led National Diabetes Prevention Program. Individuals can assess their risk for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes by taking a simple test at YMCA.net/diabetes. Through this assessment, visitors may also learn how lifestyle choices and family history help determine the ultimate risk for developing the disease. Several can put a person at risk for Type 2 diabetes are race, age, weight and activity level. If a person is at risk, a diabetes screening conducted by a physician can confirm a diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis.

should have the ability to get mammograms beginning at age 40 on a yearly basis if they want to. How wishy-washy is that? Perhaps the most frustrating issue is that the ACS and the USPSTF state their reasons for changing their recommendations as
follows: women will suffer mental stress during the process of screening and diagnosing breast cancer. They treat women like they have some fragile mental psyche that can’t handle anxiety for a few days. I think this attitude is demeaning to women, and

they should object vigorously. Most women I have done breast biopsies on are a whole lot stronger than the men I have done prostate biopsies on. And that is no joke. Also keep in mind, these are women who have the most years to live, who may now miss important milestones of seeing their kids grow up, graduate, get married and maybe have kids of their own. The reason I recommend women begin mammograms at age 40 is because of research and outcome data. The earlier cancer is detected, the better chance that woman has for survival. If we don’t catch breast cancer before it has spread to lymph nodes or beyond, it will be a disaster instead of a speed bump. About 10,000 women per year ages 40-45 get breast cancer. If we follow the ACS guidelines, those very women will be diagnosed years later with a higher stage, more advanced cancer, and the ACS says those are acceptable losses. Women now hear a cacophony of confusion from so-called scientists. I fear that some will simply throw up their hands up in frustration and get a mammogram whenever they feel like it, which in my opinion would be a big mistake.

Periodontal disease and the oral-systemic connection
Stover finds her niche running a successful downtown Pilates studio
It’s just a cleaning … right? For many of us, the prime motivation to get our teeth cleaned is primarily to get the “Starbucks stains” off. However, recent medical research keeps uncovering more and more connections between the health of your mouth and your overall health. More than 75 percent of Americans over age 35 have some form of gum disease. Sadly, many people think it is pretty normal for their gums to bleed when they brush. It may be common, but it is not normal. Chronic gum inflammation causes the liver to produce a protein that is a better indicator of the risk for a future heart attack or stroke than high cholesterol levels. Multiple studies have shown that people who have moderate or advance periodontal (gum) disease are almost twice as likely to also have heart disease than those who have healthy gums. Gum disease can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 400 percent, and can even increase the risk of developing

pancreatic cancer by 64 percent. Additionally, there are other systemic issues that are connected to chronic inflammation in the body. Since gum disease is the most common chronic inflammatory process in the body, it is beginning to get more attention as a possible factor in other medical conditions. Historically, periodontal disease has commonly been overlooked as a cause for concern amongst the medical community, with the exception of orthopedic surgeons. I sign letters to orthopedic specialists routinely to indicate that our mutual patient is in good periodontal health and ready for surgery. Why? Because they don’t want to perform a hip or knee replacement on someone who has bacteremia, or significant pathogenic bacteria, circulating in their bloodstream. The bacteria can lodge in the newly placed joint and cause it to fail. All joint replacement patients should be cleared by their dental office before undergoing surgery. [ more DR. RICH page 21 ]

Turnovers doom Lions in state playoff loss BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
Statistics can be deceiving. Auburn Mountainview can attest to that after the Lions produced yards but were dominated on the scoreboard, 42-7, during the first round of the Class 3A state tournament at Eastside Catholic last Friday night. The explanation for the seasonending loss for Auburn Mountainview (8-3) was simple. After all, the defending state champion Crusaders (10-0), who advance to play Bonney Lake, did not need to touch the ball often. “You just can’t turn the ball over six times and expect to beat the No.
1 team in the state,” coach Jared Gervais said. The Lions were effective at moving the ball during the first half as they outgained Eastside Catholic 263-124. Despite that, the Crusaders led 21-7 at Jensen halftime. Much of that can be attributed to University of Washington commit Brandon Wellington. After Auburn Mountainview drove down to Eastside Catholic’s 29-yard line, Wellington intercepted Gresch Jensen and returned the ball for an 85-yard touchdown. Wellington also had a 9-yard touchdown run during the second
quarter. “Wellington is one heck of a player,” Gervais said. “He definitely deserves all those scholarship offers. As a Husky fan, I’m excited to see him play at UW.” The Crusaders’ other touchdown during the opening 24 minutes came late in the first quarter when another Jensen pass bounced off a receiver’s hands and was intercepted by Jonathon Webster, who returned it for a 40-yard touchdown. Jensen, a Montana commit, threw five interceptions, but three of those bounced off his receivers in the rainy conditions on the Sam-
mamish Plateau. Jensen completed 21 of 41 passes for 243 yards. Gervais said his team’s ability to drive down the field “showed they can compete with them,” but the Lions simply made too many mistakes to pull off the upset. The early deficit also forced Auburn Mountainview to move away from its plan to use junior running back Bitner Wilson, who played youth football with several members of Eastside Catholic’s team. Wilson had 116 yards on 21 carries. “This is a tough one for Bitner because he talked about going to [ more FOOTBALL page 15 ]

Ravens, Lions bring volleyball medals home BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com
Stability. Auburn Riverside volleyball coach Chris Leverenz felt that attribute played a significant role in the Ravens’ ability to sustain success in the Class 3A state tournament. While her team did not repeat as state champions – Auburn Riverside placed third with a 25-23, 25-17, 19-25, 25-21 victory against Shorewood last Saturday at the Toyota Center in Kennewick – Leverenz said she was happy with the result. After all, she noted the Ravens graduated seven seniors off last year’s squad. “I’m really going to miss this group of kids,” she said. “I was very pleased with this group of kids. It’s totally great for my kids
[ FOOTBALL from page 14 ] Eastside Catholic,” Gervais said. “He grew up playing football with a lot of these guys.” Wilson’s lone touch during the Lions’ only touchdown drive came on a 23-yard run to the Crusaders’ 32. That possession culminated in a 7-yard touch-
to be third in state after everything we lost.” Auburn Riverside’s opportunity to repeat ended when it suffered a 25-19, 20-25, 25-18, 18-25, 15-10 setback in the semifinals against Kennedy Catholic. That was a significant improvement from the Ravens’ previous match against the Lancers, when they lost 25-19, 25-23, 25-21 during the Nov. 7 West Central District Tournament semifinals. “I said to my girls, ‘If we play them again, I think it will be a better match,’ ” said Leverenz, adding that she thought Kennedy’s powerful outside hitters overwhelmed her team during the district match. “I think it was a matter of us knowing what we were going to get.” This marked the Ravens’ third state playoff appearance in the last
four seasons. Auburn Riverside defeated Eastside Catholic 25-22, 24-26, 25-19, 25-19 in the first round. The Ravens then beat Holy Names 22-25, 25-8, 25-17, 27-25 in the quarterfinals. Leverenz said her assistant coaches deserve plenty of credit for the program’s success. Juniorvarsity coach Elis Arias has been on staff for four years and Jason Boyd, who guides the C team, has coached with Leverenz for several years during his two stints at Auburn Riverside. Leverenz said her assistants do a good job of preparing players before they advance to varsity. “I think that has meant a lot,” she said. “I think that’s part of the reason why we’ve had success with consistency.” Leverenz said her entire staff
stresses leadership development. Senior captains Kiana Drumheller, an outside hitter who had 19 kills and 13 digs against Shorewood, and Kasey Holand both attended Leverenz’s camp when they were 12 years old. Holand, a middle blocker who had 13 kills and 4½ blocks versus Shorewood, has signed with Dallas Baptist. Drumheller is headed to Chaminade University in Hawaii. “I’m super proud of them,” Leverenz said. “They’ve evolved into leaders. To me, that’s the most important thing we do at Riverside.” As for the future, Leverenz expects the roster composition to be similar to this season as the Ravens are not expected to have a large senior class. A third captain, libero Clarice Buchanan, is slated to return. She had 22 digs and four
aces during Auburn Riverside’s final match. Two other juniors – outside hitter Kaytlyn Heaslip and setter Lauren Smith – also played extensively during the state tournament. And sophomore outside hitter Calley Heilborn, who had 15 kills and 19 digs against Shorewood, has emerged as one of the area’s top players. Leverenz also won’t shy away from adding youth to the roster. “I’ve got a really good group of freshmen coming in,” she said. “I think it’s a matter of probably trying to blend those new pieces in.” Auburn Riverside finished with a 20-2 record, while crosstown rival Auburn Mountainview was 18-5. The Lions placed seventh at state after defeating Bishop Blanchet in their final match in the consolation bracket.
down pass from Jensen to Ryan Lacey. But that is as close as Auburn Mountainview would get. Wellington opened the second half with a 77-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He also scored Eastside Catholic’s final two touchdowns during the third quarter on an 18-yard run and a
24-yard interception return. Gervais believes the Crusaders are well positioned to repeat as state champions. “Absolutely,” he said, when asked if Eastside Catholic was the best 3A team in the state. “We haven’t seen anything like them. They have so many kids with Pac-12 offers.” The Lions only had one of
those. But wide receiver Gavin Robertson, who has committed to Arizona, remained sidelined with a cracked fibula. “Not having our Pac-12 scholarship kid hurts,” Gervais said. Robertson graduates along with Jensen and several other standouts. But Gervais, who has a 29-22 record with two state-playoff appear-
ances in five seasons, is excited for the opportunity to mold Auburn Mountainview into winners next year. “It’s a challenge to replace all of them, but we’re excited to move on,” he said. “We’re excited going forward to have a guy like Bitner – and Talon (Alfrey) – coming back.”

[16] November 20, 2015 said, “(so) I’ll bring them up here to see a little tiny bit what it’s like.” That was half a decade ago. The timing this year was perfect, since Auburn’s theater department just wrapped up its fall play, “Romeo & Juliet.” “By golly,” said Kerr, who is in his 11th year at the school, “they need to see what this is about.” The program, which included two performances and a seminar for the students, cost $800, half of which was paid by an anonymous donor who, Kerr said, wants to ensure that schools in the Northwest get “quality Shakespearean education when they can.” Kerr said the effect was profound. “I’ve got some kids who couldn’t care less, engaged,” he said. “I love it.” Auburn senior Ty Ferguson said he enjoyed seeing the Bard’s works in a different light. He was a member of the “Romeo &

Jeremy Thompson, who performs with the program and spent the previous year with the company, said he realizes Shakespeare is “very challenging thematically in the language and the imagery that gets used.” “But it’s not meant to be just read,” he said. “It’s meant to be seen and heard. “If they’re just going along for the ride, just going along for the story, I think it lands a lot easier. I hope kids are getting that it’s active, alive and interesting in that way.” Omozé Ivehenre, who also performs with the auditors were investigating an anonymous complaint that Green River is not in compliance with the Clery Act. “We have not been given any additional information about their visit, at this time,” Friedly said. “I can,

Ivehenre performed in “The Comedy of Errors” and “Richard III” last year with OSF. “I think a problem with Shakespeare a lot of times is, because the language seems archaic, the kids feel like they can’t relate,” she said. “But it’s so beautiful to watch workshops and hear the words come out of their mouths just as they are. “You don’t have to even study Shakespeare to understand what it is.” OSF’s School Visit Program has reached more than 2 million students in 12 states since its inception in 1971. Between October and December, actors are bringing the Bard to schools in Washington, Oregon, California and Kansas. “It’s an education for us,” Thompson said. “We never stop learning from the kids.”

[ DR. RICH from page 11 ] Bacteremia is the technical term for infected blood. Untreated periodontal disease can lead to bacteremia. How does that happen? When the bacterial plaque is not regularly and thoroughly removed from the surfaces of your teeth, it settles into the shallow pocket of tissue around each tooth. Those tissues are very porous. Once the bacteria gains a foothold, your body’s immune system inappropriately and excessively responds, resulting in chronic inflammation and a loss of the “seal� in the tissues to keep bacteria out. The bacteria is able to get past the tissue barrier and inside the blood vessel system and circulate throughout the body. So what are the signs of CARING FOR SOMEONE with memory loss? Do you need information and support? Alzheimer’s Association family caregiver support groups provide a consistent and caring place for people to learn, share and gain emotional support. Meetings are on the first Tuesday of the month, from noon to 1:30 p.m., at Church of the Nazarene, 1225 29th St SE, Room 15, Auburn. For information, call Val Brustad, 253-854-7658.

periodontal disease? Red, swollen gums. Bleeding of any kind when you brush or floss your teeth. Gums that seem to be shrinking or pulling away from your teeth. A bad taste or pus when you push on a swollen area of gum. Loose teeth or pain when you bite down or chew. These are all signs of an active periodontal infection. In this situation, there is oral bacteria circulating in your bloodstream, which means that anywhere this infected blood travels, including the lining of your heart and blood vessels, your joints and brain tissue is exposed to disease-causing bacteria and prone to infection. The treatment for gum disease is relatively straightforward. Typically, the inflammation is the body’s response to bacteria and calcified debris that has attached itself to the root surfaces of the teeth. We call the calcified material “calculus.� You could smear antibiotic cream on it or even take systemic antibiotics but it wouldn’t do any good. You must remove the calculus and toxins both above and below the gum line in order for your body to heal the area. That process is done over two or more appointments, with local anesthesia
to keep you comfortable. In order to keep the infection at bay, and your body’s immune system calmed down, typically you need to return to the dental office every 3-4 months or the condition may reoccur. Your dental office team will help you develop a prevention program that is tailored to your specific needs. Mouthwashes and antibiotics will not solve the problem any more than they would solve the problem of an infected splinter. The good news? Regular dental cleanings and exams allow us to evaluate your periodontal condition and head off more painful and expensive care down the road. Dental treatment is now proven to literally help save lives and smiles. “Just a cleaning�? Hardly. If it’s been awhile since you have seen a dentist, schedule an appointment. Your overall health depends on it. Stuart Rich, DDS, is the owner of Simply Smiles, a general dental practice in Auburn. He also assists sleep specialist physicians in providing an alternative to the CPAP machine for those with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

A GUIDE TO SAFETY & PREPAREDNESS IN SOUTH KING COUNTY
EASY, AFFORDABLE AND SMART WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM WINTER WEATHER EMERGENCIES (BPT) - Snow and ice, high winds, bone-chilling cold, heavy rains and flooding - no matter where you live, some form of weather-related crisis may put your home, family and belongings at risk this winter. Before the worst of it arrives, it pays to take some vital steps to ensure you’ll be protected throughout the season. Americans filed insurance claims that totaled nearly $2 billion in insured losses during 2013, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Weather-related power outages cost $25 billion to
$70 billion per year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. To ensure your home and family are protected through winter, take these easy, affordable and smart steps to prepare: • Create a family disaster plan so everyone knows what to do if severe weather hits. Your plan should detail whether everyone should remain inside the house if they’re home or where to find appropriate shelter if they’re out. • Prepare a home emergency kit. Your kit should include a set of warm clothes for every family member, blankets, bottled water, nonperishable foods, necessary medications, first aid supplies, a battery-operated radio with extra batteries, a flashlight, matches, a list of emergency contact numbers, and a solar cellphone charger so you can stay in communication without power. • Inspect your home to ensure it’s ready for winter. Look at critical areas that may bear the
brunt of a storm, such as the roof, windows and doors. Check the insulation in your attic to ensure it’s adequate and in good condition, and have your furnace and water heater professionally inspected to confirm proper functioning. • Install a backup generator to protect vital home systems - such as heat, lights and refrigeration - in case of power outages. Standby power is an affordable way to protect your home from the damages that can be associated with a power outage. A standby generator permanently connects to a home like a central air conditioning unit and automatically turns on when power is lost. Companies like Kohler are starting to offer more compact-sized, affordable standby generators that are ideal for smaller homes, cabins or situations requiring less power. An 8, 10 or 12 kilowatt standby generator will power a few key items during an outage, such as a refrigerator, lights and sump pump. This will help keep your home up-and-running and will protect
those who are most vulnerable during a power outage, including seniors and young children. Visit www.kohlergenerators.com to learn more. • Bookmark the National Weather Service’s mobile website on your smartphone so you can check official weather reports. Check with your mobile service provider to ensure your phone is set up to receive severe weather alerts. While winter storms are unavoidable, with some preparation it’s possible to avoid many of the damages and risks associated with severe weather - and keep your home safe and your family comfortable.
BE PREPARED.
