-YLL [V )YLH[OL ;HJVTH Daughters honor their late mother at 5k run/walk and one mile walk to raise money for the National Lung Cancer Partnership By David Rose
A taxi driver was parked at the Tacoma Dome Transit Center on Aug. 29, when another cab driver parked behind him and started yelling at him for being a “terrorist” because he is Muslim born in Somalia although he is a United States citizen. The victim said the suspect driver had harassed him several times. The suspect driver denied the altercation happened, so police viewed security camera footage. The police later determined that no crime was committed and that the victim should seek a restraining order against the man. A man claimed a convenience store clerk had stolen his wallet at a gas station along the 1400 block of Sprague Avenue. The clerk called police when the man became abusive. The responding officer later arrested the man for threatening the officer with a piece of a mirror and for giving a false name. The man was booked into Fife jail, where officers recognized him from a drug charge earlier that day. The man had apparently swallowed the drugs and was taken to the hospital, where he escaped.

Lynn Osborne, a Tacoma mother of two, was 44 years old when she was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2008. She died this past February from the disease, one of 160,000 people who lose their lives every year to DAVID ROSE lung cancer. At 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Tacoma’s Ruston Way-Dickman Park, Lynn’s friends and family will take part in the Free to Breathe Tacoma 5k Run/Walk and 1 mile Walk to raise money for the National Lung Cancer Partnership, a non-profit organization focused on research, education and awareness programs. Cathy Schrock, who works as the public information officer for the Federal Way Police Department, was Lynn’s best friend. She says, “This year is the first memorial walk and I am filled with so much emotion. I want to help fight the BEAST that took our best friend and mother.” All cancers take a devastating toll but lung cancer is the leading killer in the United States, taking more lives than breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancers combined.
Police Blotter
In the Aug. 23 story “Old federal building could become new hub for arts,” it was incorrectly stated that the old federal building in Tacoma opened in 1901. The correct date is 1910. We apologize for this error.

LOVE IN ACTION. Emily Schorr (left) and Elise Schorr (right) will be helping to raise funds to fight lung cancer in memory of their mom Lynn Osborne (middle).
Only 15 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer will survive it. This is primarily because today the vast majority of lung cancers are diagnosed at a late stage. Schrock says, “After experiencing the tragedy of losing someone close to me, I made a promise
to Lynn and her family that I would dedicate my time raising the funds needed to fuel advances in early treatment and detection.” For more information on the event and to register to donate, visit www.FreetoBreathe. org/Tacoma.
