As the rain splashed down on the runners during the final race of the day, Susanna Smith gave it her all from start to finish. Sporting a multi-colored raincoat, she pumped her arms and legs to the hilt and closed out last Saturday’s Can-Do kids’ dashes with a smile that received a cheer from the crowd. Her dad, Eric, noted that his special-needs girl also participated in the 1-mile walk at the fourth annual Northwest Special Families (NSF) and Northshore YMCA event that took place at the Seattle Times building in Bothell. Also on tap were a 5K run/walk, a 10K run and a 1K youth run. “We’re so proud of Susanna, because she ‘can do’ it — she gets up every day and does a great job with all the things that she has to do,” said Eric of Edmonds. “It was good,” said Susanna, 9, who was joined at the event by her sister, Chloe, 12, who tackled the 5K and kids’ dash, as well. NSF’s Natalia Bynum estimated that more than 1,000 people participated in the event (1,442 registered), which raises

Bynum said they are on target to raise more than $22,000. “It was great to see everybody coming out in the rain. Watching people coming across the finish line, it’s really a community event celebrating what we all can
do,” Bynum said. Over at the Northshore Wranglers booth, Judy Gratton said the people with the nonprofit special recreation and services program backed all the runners and walkers during the event, which featured people with and without disabilities. “It’s gone very well — I am so proud of them,” Gratton said. “As the mother of someone with disabilities, I know how hard it is just to do day to day (tasks). So especially to bring those individuals out on a freezing-cold raining day and get them to walk or run this sort of thing is really a miracle.” Added Glennona Hoover of Woodinville, who cut tags off runners’ shoes as they concluded the 5K: “It’s just thrilling to see all that they do in order to support each other — it’s wonderful.” [ more CAN-DO page 7 ]

While the director and camera crew set up a scene, Edward Furlong brushed back his hair and gazed upward at the striking stainedglass windows inside the Bastyr University chapel in Kenmore. The actor may have been on hand to film scenes for Seattle-based Mirror Images’ “Matt’s Chance” on March 22, but the 34-year-old star of “Terminator 2” and “American History X” in the 1990s was fixated on the 54-year-old European-style building’s offerings for a few minutes before shooting resumed. “Quiet on the set” and “cue, dolly,” director Nicholas Gyeney said for the umpteenth time that day as the 30-person crew hushed and one of them gently pushed the cameraman — set on the wheeled contraption — toward Furlong and co-star Edi Zanidache on the altar. Furlong, who plays cowboy Matt, consulted with Zanidache, a priest, about what to do after he discovers his girlfriend is a cheater. They ran through their lines as the camera rolled. After a few tries at the altar
scene, they nailed it. And the silence that once ruled over the chapel was blanketed with a round of applause from the crew. Success. “They’ve hit it spot on every time, which is incredible. I mean, their lines are just perfect and (we) can’t ask for a better eight minutes than what they gave us,” said producer Nate Riley about the two actors. (Furlong also filmed a bank-robbery scene with Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch in Bothell recently.) Samantha Jones, the producer’s assistant, intern manager and marketer for the film, said that Day 3 of the film’s 15 days of shooting in Seattle was going well as the hours rolled on during the one day of shooting at Bastyr. “It’s an independent film — gotta get in, get out,” she said of the two-week schedule, which featured Lee Majors, Margot Kidder and Gary Busey acting at Seattle spots like the Acme Barber Shop, Dante’s bar and more. The Bastyr scenes provided an interesting exchange of ideas between cowboy and priest, Jones said. [ more MOVIE page 8]
