SAYING NO TO BIG MONEY

Ben and Jerry’s founder visits Issaquah shop in support of I-1329

BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

When the Supreme Court ruled in the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that corporations were people, it allowed businesses to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns as long as they remained independent from candidates and their parties.

The ruling opened the floodgates of big money in politics.

Tuesday, Ben Cohen, of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream fame, stopped at the Ben and Jerry’s in the Issaquah Highlands, which is owned by District 41 state Sen. Mark Mullet, to show support for state Initiative 1329. If approved, it would ask Congress to amend the U.S. Constitution in favor of limiting corporate campaign contributions.

The organization, wamend.org, has until the end of June to gather 240,000 signatures to get I-1329 on the November ballot. So far, 70,000 signatures have been obtained.

Although I-1329 is a state initiative, Linda Bock of Sammamish, who was gathering signatures at Ben and Jerry’s, said there are groups of citizens nationwide who want this issue to become the 28th amendment to the United States Constitution.

“Washington will join the growing number of states who have asked Congress to draft

A real dollar bill is stamped with the message not to give in to big money in politics. They are legal to use. LINDA BALL, Issaquah Reporter. the amendment,” Bock said. “Sixteen other states have already asked Congress to draft the amendment. They need two-thirds of the 50 states (33) to ask Congress to draft the amendment.”

Cohen said Vermont, where Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is headquartered, is the first state to declare a constitutional convention to get big money out of politics. Vermont is also the first state to pass mandatory GMO labeling on food, which didn’t pass in Washington state.

“If big money is going to keep GMOs from getting passed then we’ll get this (I-1329) passed,” Cohen said.

Cohen is the president and treasurer of People Power Initiative, a Vermont based nonprofit. The organization has created stamps that say either “Stamp money out of politics,”

or “Not to be used for bribing politicians.” The stamps are applied to actual $1 bills that remain in circulation. It’s legal. Stampstampede. org says “Every dollar you stamp will reach 875 people, if you stamp 5 dollars a day for a year, that’s over a million. Together, we can create a stampede that Congress can’t ignore.”

You can order a stamp at www.stampstampede.org.

Cohen had what he called the “switchblade” of rubber stamps, “the executive model” he quipped. It opens just like a switchblade.

April Atwood of Sammamish found one of the stamped $1 bills in her wallet last fall, which led her to the website. When she saw that Cohen was coming to Issaquah she decided to stop in to meet him. After all, everyone who came got a free scoop of ice cream of the flavor of their choice. Cohen was enjoying Berry, Berry, Extraordinary.

Cohen will be at the Northwest Folklife Festival today with the Amazing Amend-OMatic Stamp Mobile! People can put a dollar bill in the machine, and after it goes through an amazing journey, it spits out of the mouth of a politician. Then they have the opportunity to buy a stamp for $10. Although Cohen will only be there on Friday, the Amazing AmendO-Matic Stamp Mobile! will be at the festival all weekend.

LOOK INSIDE THIS ISSUE FOR PROUD MEDIA SPONSOR

A woman drove a SVU through her Lake Sammamish home late Friday night, killing her 70-yearold partner and 40-year-old son-in-law. Her daughter remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center.

According to the King County Sheriff ’s Office, the 68-year-old woman appeared to be moving her vehicle with her 3-year-old grandson in her lap. The 2014 Jeep then drove through her home on the 3400 block of East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane Southeast. B.J. Myers, spokesman for the Sheriff ’s Office, said the back wheels caught on the edge of the deck and the woman and her grandson were able to exit the car unharmed.

The woman’s partner was killed on scene and her daughter and son-in-law were transported to Harborview where they were listed in critical condition. The son-in-law died at the hospital on Monday.

The woman was arrested and then later released pending final charges.

Officers at the scene believed the woman might have been under the influence of some sort of drug, stating there was the strong smell of alcohol on her breath, but it will take up to three weeks before they receive a complete toxicology report.

If the woman was under the influence, she could be charged with vehicular homicide, resulting in a jail term of 20 years to life.

Sammamish strong, city manager says

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

At the May 14 Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, Sammamish City Manager Ben Yazici told community members that the state of the city is strong.

“Sammamish is kind of on a roll,” Yazici said at the Chamber luncheon.

Sammamish has 1.4 full-time employees per 1,000 people, which may seem low compared to neighboring cities, Yazici said, but the city relies heavily on contracts.

“We don’t need specialized services,” Yazici said. “If we need it, we can get it, but we don’t need it on a full-time basis.”

One area the city relies on contracting for is fire service. Yazici said that through negotiations with Eastside Fire and Rescue and partnering agencies, the city was able to lower the cost of fire services and they are happy with the end result. Sammamish’s new 7-year agreement with EFR will begin in 2015 and will save the city $400,000 per year.

However Yazici said that an area the city does need to improve in is revenue. In 2012, the city had $449 per capita in expenditures and $651 per capita in revenue. The same year, Issaquah had $942 per capita in expenditures and $999 per capita in revenues and Redmond had $1,404 per capita in expenditures and $1,540 per capita in revenues.

“Not only is it important to be efficient, we have to be efficient,” Yazici said.

Other discussion topics included the 68,000 square feet and $34.5 million Community and Aquatic Center, which will break

ground in June. The Center will be operated by the YMCA. Klahanie was also mentioned - Yazici said that while there are several important steps before actual annexation can happen, the city is hoping to put the issue on the 2015 ballot.

If Klahanie residents choose to annex to Sammamish, Yazici said benefits will include better services, lower taxes, better roads and regional cooperation.

Yazici also spoke about the Town Center.

Since 2006, the community has been in the process of crafting a plan for the center. The council adopted a vision statement on March 7, 2006 and also adopted a preferred alternative on April 17, 2007. These policy decisions by the council have guided the planning process to date. The Planning Commission is

now undertaking its review and listening to public testimony.

Town Center is roughly bounded on the north by East Main Street, on south by Southeast Eighth Street, on the east by 233rd Avenue Southeast and on the west by 222nd Street Southeast. The area includes the 30acre Sammamish Commons project, City Hall, the youth skate park, 20-acres of open space and a play area with trails and picnic facilities.

“We are getting some serious proposals,” Yazici said.

However, Yazici said there are still some serious issues with the project, such as property rights and environmental issues. National regulations that begin in January of 2017 will complicate project implementations, Yazici said, so they’re hoping to get everything going beforehand. These complications would require the city to establish a tight line, which is a solid pipe/wall designed to transport water, in order to bypass the wetland -- a requirement that is very expensive, Yazici said.

“We’re doing it to create a sense of place,” Yazici said. “Hopefully we’ll get something started soon.”

Yazici said that he thinks the city will have something going in about six months.

At the end of his presentation, those in attendance were able to ask questions, varying from power lines inquiries to concerns over the East Lake Sammamish trail project.

“As long as we have the council we have and as long as we have the citizens we have, I am very confident we will have a great city in the decades to come,” Yazici said.

Sammamish awards contract for community center Porter Brothers Construction, Inc. has been awarded a $25.5 million contract to build the Community and Aquatic Center in Sammamish. The award is contingent upon positive reference checks, said City Manager Ben Yazici, who was authorized by the City Council to grant the contract.

Porter Brothers had the second lowest of the bids received by the city. However, the low bidder, Commercial Structure, withdrew its offer.

The winning bid includes construction of a second gym, water slide, jogging track and the tiling of pool decks. Those items, described as “additive alternates,” were elements that could have been dropped if bids had come in above expectations.

“If our due diligence on the contractor goes well, this is great news for our community,” Yazici said. “This contract figure, together with other expenses, adds up to less than the last estimate we gave the City Council for total costs.”

Assuming the Porter Brothers bid stands, the City Council last night authorized the following expenditures: Construction, $25,574,285; 9.5 percent sales tax, $2,429,554.51; 5 percent contingency, $1,400,190.63, which increased the cost to $29,404,003.14. Additional expenses, included as part of the total project cost, include the following demolition of the Kellman house, $77,656.31; soft costs (design, permitting, utility connections), $3,003,436.56 for a total estimated cost of $32,485,096.01.

That figure is lower than the $34.5 million the council budgeted for the project.

New traffic signals coming to Issaquah area

Drivers will notice something new on traffic signals at intersections throughout Issaquah: a flashing yellow left-turn arrow.

The new signal is a traffic management tool aimed at keeping traffic moving and increasing safety while reducing delays and fuel consumption. The signal display more clearly indicates to drivers when it’s okay to make left turn across traffic. A flashing yellow means to turn with caution.

Work has started and is planned for completion by November. The majority of work will occur at night, with no daytime

lane closures planned.

As part of this project, seven signals will be converted to flashing yellow arrows: Front Street and Sunset Way (northbound and southbound left-turn signals); East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast and Southeast 51st Street (northbound and southbound left-turn signals); East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast and Southeast Black Nugget Road (southbound left-turn signal); Front Street South and Newport Way Southwest (northbound and southbound left-turn signals); Northeast

Park Drive and 10th Avenue Northeast (eastbound and westbound left-turn signals); Newport Way Northwest and Maple Street Northwest (northbound and southbound left-turn signals); East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast and Southeast Issaquah-Fall City Road (northbound and southbound left-turn signals). Some city traffic signals — including Southeast 56th Street and 221st Place Southeast and Fourth Avenue Northwest and the Issaquah Post Office — currently operate with the flashing yellow left-turn arrow.

In most locations, the flashing yellow will be part of a four-arrow display. At some locations, a three-section signal head may be used to display the flashing yellow arrow.

The flashing yellow arrow display gives traffic engineers the flexibility to use specific indications at different times of day. This means that the flashing yellow arrow or steady green arrow may not be seen every time a motorist approaches the intersection.

The new signal system can reduce wait times compared to traditional left turn signals.

Trees removed on Rainier Boulevard

BY LINDA BALL

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Three or more good-size fir trees were removed on Rainier Boulevard recently, which raised some questions, given the recent unpopular tree cutting in Talus.

Kerry Ritland, with the city’s public works engineering department, said the trees were removed to widen the Rainier Trail through this section, from 8-feet wide to 12-feet wide.

It’s part of the Rainier Boulevard Low Impact Development, which has been included in the city’s transportation plan for some time, he said.

The contractor, R.W. Scott Construction Co., will be tasked with 1,300 feet of roadway reconstruction with pervious asphalt pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping,

burying utilities, and 15-foot light poles, which is referred to as pedestrian scale lighting — the favored lighting in the Central Issaquah Plan.

This section of Rainier Boulevard fronts the new Confluence Park, which will get an additional 14 angled parking spaces along with parallel parking next to the trail.

The project was funded by grants, storm water utility funds and street improvement funds. The total cost is approximately $2 million.

The project is expected to begin during the first week of June, wrapping up by Salmon Days or sooner. This section of Rainier (between Dogwood and Holly streets) is heavily used during Salmon Days.

Cascade Water Alliance turns 15, celebrates collaboration

BY BRANDON MACZ

REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

The Cascade Water Alliance celebrated its 15th anniversary May 15 with a luncheon that highlighted the collaborative efforts of Eastside cities to ensure their water needs continue to be met decades into the future — the type of teamwork that has been needed in California to tackle a severe drought across the state.

"You can count on the fact that this is going to happen and we need to get ready for it," said Will Stelle, administrator for the Northwest region of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service and CWA keynote speaker. "… We're not ready."

Stelle said it was apparent 2014 would be a disaster for California in terms of drought by January.

"What you could hear was real fear, fear that they were going to lose control of the (Sacramento-San Joaquin River) Delta," he said.

California reservoirs are all at 50 percent or lower on average this year, with no snow pack in the Sierra Nevadas expected to alleviate the crisis. Wetter weather in February and March helped, but what Stelle said is critical in keeping ahead of drought is cooperation between fisheries, water service operators and water quality managers, and being able to change how the system is operated in real time.

"You don't have the luxury of time to fiddle around," Stelle said. "… Don't get into chasing errors because you'll spend a lot of time doing it."

While California had a 1,000-page biological opinion regarding joint operations for how to manage reservoirs, pumping rates, gate operations, salinity control and more, Stelle said in the face of a drought there is not much time for critical assessments.

Stelle said he took a lot of guff when looking at saving spring chinook salmon from dying off while also allowing temporary increases in water exports out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. He said its important that, even in the face of opposition, stakeholders stand by their decisions and be collectively prepared to take greater risks.

Elaine Kraft, communications director for Cascade Water Alliance, said Stelle painted a dire picture of what California is facing, but another message she received from his address is that the CWA is on the right path to ensuring it is prepared to meet future water supply demands on the Eastside, and lucky such a need won't be soon.

The Cascade Water Alliance bought Lake Tapps from Puget Sound Energy in 2009 for a future water supply and storage.

Member cities include Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Tukwila, and the Sammamish Plateau Water & Sewer District and Skyway Water & Sewer District. Kraft said those cities are not expected to have supply issues for decades, which means Lake Tapps will continue to be monitored for quality and used for recreation. The CWA is currently working toward setting future water rates.

"We're trying to stabilize our rates for the long-term," Kraft said.

County Council gets run of comments on transit cuts

BY BRANDON MACZ REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

A strong contingent of Bellevue College students and faculty amassed at Bellevue City Hall on May 15 to push the King County Council to reconsider rerouting Route 271 away from campus as part of a 16-percent cut in transit service to shore up losses in state sales tax revenue over the past five years.

The bus route is a key way for many students from the Issaquah area not only to get to the BC campus, but also to the University of Washington.

The council began taking public comment about the cuts and route revisions after Proposition No. 1 — a funding measure for the recently formed King County Transportation Benefit District — failed in April. The first round of service reductions is slated for September, cutting 161,000 hours in King County and another 56,000 hours in northeast King County in February. Two more rounds of cuts will occur in June and September 2015. The council is set to approve the cuts at its June 9 meeting.

Alex Clark, environmental and social responsibility representative for the Associated Student Government of Bellevue College, said students and faculty were happy when planned cuts were scaled back and Route 245 was spared the chopping block, but moving Route 271 away from campus will affect 900 daily riders.

"The stop that's proposed to be cut is in the heart of campus," he told the Reporter on Thursday.

Issaquah Chamber, Microsoft to help small businesses

The Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and Microsoft have come together to help support small businesses in Issaquah and the Eastside.

The chamber is the Microsoft Store’s Community Partner this month. Microsoft has also agreed to serve as one of the sponsors of the Issaquah Small Business Resource Center (SBRC), a platform of small business services and programs aimed to help support the local small business community.

“We are thrilled to announce Microsoft as the first of a number of sponsors for the IsMatt Bott saquah Small Business Resource Center and we look forward to helping local businesses connect with the company’s wide range of products and services to help our business community continue to thrive,” said Matt Bott, chief executive officer for the chamber.

“With so many of our businesses and local families uniquely tied to this leading Eastside company, we are very much looking forward to this partnership to help local small businesses access the technology tools that will help them succeed.”

As a part of this effort, the chamber, Microsoft retail store and strategic local Microsoft IT partners will provide opportunities for small businesses to receive hands-on

training and updates on the latest in Microsoft products, updates and services.

“The new Office365 technology from Microsoft really does offer local businesses an opportunity to reduce their IT spending and [access] tools that enable employees to be more collaborative and productive,” said Stephen Jones, of Issaquah’s Cohesive Logic, an Issaquah IT support firm and a Microsoft Partner.

“The Microsoft retail store at Bellevue Square is excited to be a community partner with the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce — providing technology and business solutions that will empower local small businesses to grow and operate more efficiently” said Hollie Ekornas, store manager at the Bellevue Square Microsoft retail store. “Our store is designed to serve as a great resource for small business customers in the Bellevue, Issaquah and Eastside areas by offering complimentary tech trainings, business-ready PCs, phones and more — it’s like having your very own IT department right in our store.”

The chamber’s membership consists of over 500 members, with the vast majority being employers with 50 employees or fewer, representing a broad cross-section of local industries.

To support the needs of local small businesses, the chamber is asking for feedback on which topics/programs local businesses are interested in relative to technology and productivity needs. The chamber has developed an online form to provide this feedback,

I

Free opportunities for summer learning

hated summers in eastern Washington where I grew up. I’d find respite in the cool basement of my parent’s house with a glass of lemonade and a stack of books. Some mornings, I’d leave the house for babysitting gigs, but most of the time, my adventures were confined within the pages of mystery and horror novels.

On the rare occasions I’d venture outside, it was to attempt a tan in the backyard.

Accompanying me on my beach towel was a walkman, a stack of cassettes from ’80s boy bands, a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic and a novel.

By late afternoon, I’d have finished my book and would wander into the kitchen with an empty stomach and a sunburn. I’d Darcy Brixey put together strange ingredients for snacks or experiments just to see what fizzled and bubbled, or what tasted good. It was fun stirring up ingredients in kitchen science experiments. It was all about learning, I just didn’t know that.

The library system recognizes that kids who continue to learn, read and experiment throughout summer break are better prepared for the next school year. What was once considered the summer reading program has expanded into a Summer Learning Program. Reading is still a prime component, but the library is encouraging kids to go a step further and try out some science experiments.

The summer themes this year cover learning and science: Fizz Boom Read for children and Spark a Reaction for teens.

Starting June 1, kids can start marking their reading goals of 500 minutes and the opportunity to complete an activity for different badges with STREAM topics (science, technology, reading, engineering, art or math). Soon a full list of programs for children and teens will appear on the KCLS website. Check www.kcls.org/kids/summer or www.kcls.org/teens/summer.

Reading is still strongly encouraged this summer, but we hope families will enjoy the science programs the libraries are offering. Whether your kids are reading at the beach, or downloading ebooks from home, enjoy. It’s a quick two month vacation, and if they’re having fun they may not even notice they are learning. Just don’t forget the sunscreen.

Darcy Brixey is a librarian with the King County Library Systen.

Total compensation key in wage debate

O

ne of the problems with the minimum wage debate is the name itself. If we want to ensure that we don’t hurt lower-income workers, we should consider total compensation, not just wages.

Case in point: Bill H. earns $15 an hour as a parking lot attendant.

Lisa W. earns $12.25 an hour at a fast food restaurant. But Lisa’s Don Brunell employer provides merit raises, paid vacations, health insurance, management training, education scholarships, childcare assistance and a 401k retirement plan.

Who is better off ? Would it help or hurt Lisa if she lost all her benefits, but gained $2.75 an hour in wages?

We need to consider that question as part of any debate about the minimum wage.

The truth is raising the minimum wage is not as clear or as simple as some would have us believe.

Let’s leave aside for a moment the fact that no city or state has ever attempted to raise its minimum wage by 60 percent. Most experts agree that the more extreme and abrupt

the increase, the more economic casualties it creates — lost jobs and lost opportunities.

But as any employer knows, there is much more to employee compensation than wages. According to a March, 2014 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, private-sector employers pay an additional 30 percent on top of wages for employee benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, workers compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, paid leave, health care, retirement, etc.

For example, the BLS reports that, while the average service worker makes $12.17 an hour, their benefits bring their total compensation to $16.95 per hour.

Because Washington’s current minimum wage is the highest in the nation, employer costs — and employee benefits — are likely greater here.

Take Dick’s Drive-In, for example.

An iconic Seattle-area institution for 60 years, Dick’s Drive-in provides good wages and generous employee benefits. According to Jasmine Donovan, granddaughter of founder Dick Spady, employees start at $10.25 an hour, receive regular merit raises, health insurance, $22,000 in

scholarships over four years, childcare assistance, bonuses, paid vacations, a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50 percent employer match, and paid volunteer time at local charities.

These benefits push the total compensation for employees of Dick’s Drive-In above the targeted $15 per hour minimum wage.

But if the company is forced to bump wages to $15 per hour, it will not be able to afford the employee benefits it currently provides.

Donovan cautions, “Employees who earn higher taxable wages, but lose valuable tax-free benefits may end up worse off.”

The same is true for the employees of Burgerville restaurants. Founded in the 1960s, Burgerville operates 39 restaurants from Centralia, Washington to Albany, Ore. These benefits have value — value that must be considered in any discussion about raising the minimum wage.

When "Funny Girl" was being cast for its first run, producer Ray Stark searched far and wide for an actress capable of playing the talented and unconventionally beautiful Fanny Brice. That actress would turn out to be Barbra Streisand, who delighted Stark with her performance chops and horrified his wife with her thrift shop couture, as recalled in a later interview given by composer Jule Styne.

Sarah Rose Davis, the actress who plays Brice in Village Theatre’s production of Funny Girl, has to be exhaustively gawked up and geeked out by her costumers to match the woman described in “If A Girl Isn’t Pretty.” But by the time the show reaches “I’m the Greatest Star,” Davis proves beyond a shadow of a doubt why she’s there, bouncing from pushy to pleading to soulful to catty, bratty, soulful and back again. The first-time lead demonstrates a remarkable agility of performance and comic timing.

Good, because “Funny Girl,” despite it’s large ensemble, is a show that lives and dies on its Brice. Even the primary plot points of the vaudevillian’s fictionalized biography are mere vehicles to truck the audience toward the next song-and-dance spectacular.

The supporting cast and ensemble back Davis wonderfully, filling the set pieces with the peculiar Brooklish honk that can never seem to be over exaggerated, and believably recreating the uniquely in-your-face

intimacy of a New York circle of friends.

The fleet-footed John David Scott is a standout as dance director Eddie Ryan, the puppyish friend and man-in-waiting to Brice. His tap dance routine early in the show is a sight to behold and will leave you wanting more, even if you’ve never thought about tap once in your life.

The one dull spot on this practically Technicolor production arrives in the story’s driving romance between Brice and Nick Arnstein (Logan Benedict). It’s a shortcoming that’s hard to put into words.

Tall, dark, handsome and mustachioed, Benedict is a dead ringer for a dashing 1920s gentleman. His deep, resonant voice is period perfect and reminiscent of classic radio drama. He never falters, wavers or stumbles in his performance. All the pieces are there, yet they come together imperfectly. Arnstein’s love affair with Brice seems to simply go through the motions of “and then, and then, and then” until the next song-and-dance number arrives.

But what a song-and-dance it will be!

The journey’s all well and good but, in this show, it’s the destinations that matter.

OUR PRACTICE is a group of Board Certified physicians, Certified Nurse Midwives and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners. We are excited about the opportunity to provide comprehensive care to women of all ages.

Thank You for Caring If you are reading this special breast cancer section of the IssaquahSammamish Reporter, you clearly care about the impact of breast cancer on our community.

Thank you. More women in Washington State are diagnosed with breast cancer than any other form of cancer. Indeed, our state has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in our country.

Who knows why the incidence of breast cancer is so high in our state? One theory is it might be a relative lack of vitamin D. This is why I am excited about the Komen funded study on obesity and vitamin D that was just completed by Dr. Anne McTiernan, MD, PHD Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. This research is discussed in another article in today’s paper. It is one of eight local breast cancer research studies together totaling $3.7 million dollars in Komen global medical research funding spent right here in Puget Sound. Personally, I would like to see more study into the unique factors affecting breast health in our Northwest region.

Beyond the statistics, we care about breast cancer because so many of us know someone whose life has been touched by this disease. It might be a mother, a daughter, an aunt, a sister, a wife, a close friend or you. For me, the matriarch of my family, my Aunt Judy, is a breast cancer survivor. And, now that I am a part of a Komen Puget Sound family, I have become close to the many Komen staff, donors and volunteers who have either survived breast cancer or are currently battling this disease.

I am inspired by their stories every day, and they reinforce within me a personal sense of urgency regarding our mission. If a woman has to decide whether to pay for her family’s meals or her breast cancer treatments, she needs our support today. With 100 women in our state diagnosed with breast cancer every week, we need find a cure for breast cancer now. When lives are at stake, there is no time to lose.

If you also feel this sense of urgency, I invite you to visit komenpugetsound.org and register for the Race for the Cure on June 1.

Join me and others who share your desire to make a difference. We can win the battle against breast cancer. All we need is you.

Thank you,

David Richart Executive Director, Komen Puget Sound

Sammamish resident celebrates cancer free 10-year anniversary

By Kelly Montgomery Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter

Judy Buerke of Sammamish was in her mid-20s when doctors told her she had very fibrous tissue, and would have to get mammograms every year.

“It was never a problem,” Buerke said. “But in the back of my mind it was always, ‘One of these days, I’m going to get that phone call.’”

Buerke, now 62, said that she had had a few scans and sonograms over the years due to suspicious mammogram results, so the idea of cancer was always something that crossed her mind, but it wasn’t until her annual check-up in the spring of 2004 that cancer was detected.

“Fortunately for me it was a very slow growing cancer and my lymph nodes were not involved,” Buerke said.

Buerke said her treatment consisted of a lumpectomy, followed by seven weeks of radiation, five years of an Arimidex regimen, and many, many follow-up visits to her doctors.

“It was such a learning process because I had no idea how much went into even the pre-surgery treatment,” Buerke said. “That was almost more overwhelming to me then the surgery.”

At the time of her diagnosis, Buerke

The Boob Blog

By Linda Ball

Last September I published my first book. I called it “The Boob Blog” because it started out as a blog.

I started the blog to keep family and friends up to speed on my progress and what was happening to me as I dealt with breast cancer. I realized what was happening was so unreal I had to expand on it — thus the book.

When you’re given a diagnosis of cancer, it’s frightening. Emotions and thoughts swell up that are hard to explain.

Why me?

I’m always been very healthy. I work out.

I eat pretty healthy, except when I crave sweets. I used to be a body builder (30 some years ago). How could this happen?

was teaching kindergarten in north Texas. Her daughter was approaching graduation at TCU and her son was a freshman at UC Berkeley. One of the hardest parts for Buerke was figuring out how to tell her children she’d been diagnosed.

“It’s just a mom thing. Its like, how do I tell them? I knew I would be fine, I just felt that. But how do I tell them and reassure them I’m going to be okay?”

Buerke said. “It was an emotional time for all, but I had a great deal of faith in my doctors and tremendous support from family and friends.”

Buerke said the major difficulty came when seeing other people at the cancer treatment center that weren’t as fortunate as her. It makes you think about what you’ve been through and what you will face ahead of you, she said, and taught her to appreciate the little things in life and look at the big picture.

“It turned out to be a good thing for me,” she said. “Because it really makes you stop and think and approach things differently…do your best day to day.”

At her five-year marker, Buerke and

her husband moved to Seattle. While it was hard leaving her medical team, Buerke said she is thankful for her doctors here.

“Even when I go now, there’s that haunting worry that it will be back,” she said.

But with her support system, along with events put on by the Susan G. Komen organization, Buerke has continued to stay positive throughout her entire experience. She is currently volunteering at Margaret Mead Elementary School to give back and keep her brain going, she said. And she

continues to go in for checkups, making sure she is cancer-free.

“You have to be your own best advocate,” she said.

And since her diagnosis, Buerke has been participating in Susan G. Komen events throughout the country.

“It’s reaffirming. Everybody is just so positive,” she said. “It’s very satisfying knowing you’re helping someone else, but it’s also a reminder that we’re all in this together.”

It’s because cancer has its own agenda.

And in the case of breast cancer, if you’re female, you are a target.

Think of seven women you love dearly.

One of them will get a diagnosis of breast cancer.

I moved to Seattle over the Labor Day weekend of 2009 to start a new life, not really knowing anyone in this area. My diagnosis came one year and four months later. I was pretty much on my own, except when one of my friends from Alaska, my home state, or Idaho, where I moved here from, would come to help. I now realize how strong I was because I had to deal with this pretty much on my own, which I’ve come to learn, is not the norm.

But I didn’t know any different.

I dedicated “The Boob Blog” to survivors, current and future patients and anyone who has had their life touched by any kind of cancer.

In the book I talk about how I’ve always had a pretty wicked sense of humor, and that is what kept me going. In chapter three, “Fact Finding,” I said “tomorrow is my brain scan. It will be interesting to see if there’s anything in there.” Well, there wasn’t (meaning, no tumors)!

I talk about chemo. It’s hell. There’s really no other way to describe it. I did chemo first, which is called neoadjuvant therapy.

You can’t think straight. You are tired all the time. And I thought, okay, at least I’ll lose some weight with cancer. NO! You gain weight because they give you steroids to counteract the side effects of the chemo, so you want to eat more, and you gain

weight. Great, I thought. Fat and bald.

Then, for a little extra fun, when I had one of my first MRIs, a tech called to say there was a “spot” on my appendix. My oncologist told me not to worry about it. On the evening of May 25, 2011, I knew something was terribly wrong. You guessed it. Appendicitis. So, it had to come out.

That set me back a little from the chemo schedule. I am very much a planner and in control of my life, so for me all of this was really hard because I was not the one in control. The disease was.

Once I was back on track, I went into phase II of the chemo, which was the hard stuff. It was a combination of two drugs, adriamycin and cytoxan; adriamycin is also referred to as the red devil, and it didn’t take long to figure out why. That’s when my hair really started to go, and tired took on a whole new meaning.

What made my journey unique is that I really did my best to try to keep it normal. I continued to do things I enjoyed as much as I could. I went zip-lining and kayaking after I had a uni-lateral mastectomy. And it kept me strong, physically and mentally.

I don’t forget my medical team in the book at all. They were all so wonderful.

My medical oncologist, Dr. Kaplan, my surgeon, Dr. Beatty, my plastic surgeon, Dr. Isik, and the oncology nurses and all the nurses were nothing short of angels.

My final day of chemo was bittersweet, because I had to say goodbye to those wonderful nurses.

Many women don’t bother with

reconstruction. But I felt I was still too young not to do it. I opted for a tram-flap, which was another long journey. The tram-flap is an amazing procedure, but had I known how painful it would be, I might have re-thought it. I was in rough, rough shape for a good month after the surgery.

I had to have constant care for three weeks, so thankfully I had three different girlfriends come in week shifts to care for me.

I am healed now, but I still have occasional twinges of pain, from nerves reconnecting I suppose.

By December 2012 I moved into my very own little condo in West Seattle. I bought at the bottom of the market and I love my place. I have a view of Puget Sound, which was my priority. I love being able to sit on my deck in the summer and see the Sound and the Olympic Mountains and to walk along the shore.

I participated in my first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure last June, and I will be doing it again this year. I’m also the PR chair for this year’s American Cancer Society, West Seattle, Relay for Life. The fight can’t end until cancer is eradicated forever.

“The Boob Blog” is available on Amazon.com or for Kindle. It’s also available at the Issaquah Library, and at Swedish Medical Centers in Issaquah, Seattle First Hill and Edmonds in the cancer education centers.

Sometimes reading someone else’s journey can help you make key decisions.

Extending Hope to Cancer Patients and their Families

W

hen Anna heard the news she was pregnant, she and her husband were overjoyed. Up to this point they had devoted their lives to providing a safe, nurturing home for foster children. While they had a large family of six foster children, they welcomed the news of another child in their lives. But then, shortly afterwards, Anna also received the news that she had breast cancer.

After the baby was born, Anna underwent surgery to have the cancer removed, and then she began chemotherapy. Overwhelmed by the unexpected medical expenses, she turned to her mother who put her in touch with one of Cancer Lifeline’s financial navigators.

The navigator worked helped with the application for aid from the Komen Puget Sound Patient Assistance Fund. Support from the Komen fund helped to keep the heat on in Anna’s home as well as provide meal support for her and her family. Once Anna’s financial situation was stabilized, she was able to address her medical needs and is now doing well.

Both financially and emotionally, Cancer Lifeline helped Anna move from hopelessness to the survivor she is today.

Forty years ago, Cancer Lifeline began service as a 24-hour phone line designed to offer information and provide emotional support to patients and families affected by cancer. Over the years of carefully listening to the needs of cancer patients and survivors,

the organization added other programs to provide all people touched by cancer with high-quality emotional, financial, and health and wellness services.

For the past nine years, Cancer Lifeline has administered the Komen Puget Sound Patient Assistance Fund (KPAF) to provide low-income breast cancer patients like Anna with financial and emotional support to help stabilize their lives and allow them to remain in treatment.

The organization is Komen Puget Sound’s second largest grantee, after the Washington State Department of Health. With the ongoing economic downturn, KPAF and Cancer Lifeline’s patient financial assistance program has been particularly vital for vulnerable breast cancer patients. It is one of the few programs in the Puget Sound area that helps patients at risk of losing housing, utilities or other basic essentials due to the expense of cancer treatments, loss of employment and/or insurance needs due to illness.

“Cancer Lifeline has truly been a lifeline for patients who have nowhere else to go,” says Elisa Del Rosario, Komen Puget Sound Director of Grants, Education and Advocacy. “They meet a critical need for women and families in our community, with staff and volunteers who exhibit the utmost caring for patient’s well being.”

In addition to addressing the health and financial needs of cancer patients, Cancer Lifeline also

provides important mental well-being programs, including classes in artistic expression. These Creative Expression workshops are open to all people living with cancer – patients, survivors, family members, friends and co-workers. Lead by trained facilitators, classes may include card making, painting, collage, fiber arts or writing. By tapping into their creative skills, participants learn to cope while navigating through their cancer experience.

“Our programs are based on the needs of people living with cancer,” said Joseph Yurgevich, Cancer Lifeline program director. “We offer you choices and encourage you to take control. Most of all, we provide the environment where you have the freedom to express feelings without being judged.”

Eastlake girls win golf title; Issaquah, EC get state qualifiers A trio of Eastlake golfers are headed to Club Green Meadows in Vancouver for the 4A girls golf state tournament May 28-29, after capturing the KingCo and District championships at Snohomish Golf Course last week.

Sophomore Ashley Fitzgibbons shot 69-69-138 to claim the individual conference and district titles, just in front of teammate and senior Jamie Midkiff, who fired 70-70-140.

Maddie Nelson was the final state qualifier and top-five finisher for the Wolves, shooting 74-73-147 to earn her state tournament spot and conference crown.

“We really talk about preparation,” coach Pat Bangasser said. “Their play and performance was based on the hours they put in year round.”

Fitzgibbons and Midkiff were also named first team All-KingCo selections, while Nelson was a second team honoree. Helen Maslen earned honorable mention distinction for Bangasser, who picked up coach of the year honors in the conference.

Each of Eastlake’s three 2014 state competitors finished in the top-15 last season at state. Fitzgibbons was seventh, Midkiff tied for tenth and Nelson tied for 12th.

Katie Chun missed the cut by two strokes.

Eastlake will send a pair of golfers to the boys state tournament at Camas Meadows Golf Club, as senior Spencer Weiss will try for a title alongside Scott Nielsen.

Bangasser said Weiss, who finished in a tie for eighth place at last year’s state tournament, has the potential to bring home the individual crown.

“He has a great mentality about golf,” he said. “He is really poised and stays focused on the positive.”

Nielsen did not play for the high school team during his freshman season, after initially being uncertain of his potential to make the cut on a team annually rife with district and state competitors.

But after watching him shoot a seven under-par at Willows Run during his tryout round before this season, Bangasser knew he had found something special.

“He has one of the best swings in the whole league,” he said of the southpaw. “He has no idea how good he can be.”

Kent at 1 p.m. May 24, with an afternoon quarterfinal spot against either Lake Stevens or South Kitsap on the line.

Head coach Kevin Agnew said he and his staff have kept things light in preparation.

“We have a ping-pong table in the locker room,” he said. “There are constant battles going on right now.”

Mick Vorhof will get the start in the opener at state, and Agnew said he has all the faith in the world in his senior ace.

“I’d put Mick up against anybody,” he said. “He wants the ball in big time situations.”

Issaquah, Skyline bounced Issaquah ended its season one game short of a winner-to-state crossover, surrendering five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning in a 7-5 loss to Redmond in the third place game of the tournament.

The Eagles, which were dropped 6-1 by the Mustangs in the opening round, bounced back with a 4-3 win over Newport and 13-3 victory over Bothell to keep their season alive before falling in their third straight loser-out game.

Skyline was knocked out by Redmond in a 13-3 loss.

The district track meet concludes May 23 at Lake Stevens High School, with state spots at stake. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah Reporter.

ISD wins girls title The Issaquah School District girls lacrosse team is state champions, after a last minute goal from Skyline High School senior Katie Bucy gave them an 11-10 win over Lake Sammamish May 16 at Islander Stadium.

In a back-and-forth affair that saw six ties, it was ISD that left with the state title trophy, led by five goals from Suzy Emerson and

two each from Nicole Victory and Meg Corscadden.

Bucy’s only tally of the night came in the biggest moment, providing the game-winner on a free position shot just after another goal was disallowed on a shooting space violation from Lake Sammamish.

“That’s the biggest goal ever,” Bucy told U.S. La-

crosse Washington. “It was hit or miss and this one was a hit.”

Lake Sammamish, which includes four players from Eastlake High School, tied the game at 10 apiece before Bucy’s decisive strike in the waning seconds.

“Our seniors fought so hard for this one,” coach Tony D’Alessio said. “It was going to come down to who had the ball last.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
