Rieger, School Board part ways over ‘differing viewpoints’ Both sides remain silent on specifics of split

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

A week later the community still doesn’t know what philosophical differences separated former Superintendent Merri Rieger from the Renton School Board and it appears the community may never learn the answers.

After repeatedly asking board members and the district to give further details, Randy Matheson, district spokesperson, had this to say via email: “As part of the amicable Merri Rieger decision for Dr. Rieger to resign, the Board and Dr. Rieger entered into an agreement to not discuss the matter.”

Meanwhile, the Renton Reporter website and Facebook page were lit up with posts

demanding more transparency from the district in this latest development.

School Board President Pam Teal stated that there were “differing viewpoints” between the two in a district release on May 13, the day the board accepted Rieger’s resignation. When questioned for further comment, Teal did not return phone calls or email on the subject.

School Board member Lynn Desmarais also did not return requests for comment.

Last week, Matheson offered that “their approach to the work was just philosophi-

cally different,” referring to Rieger and the School Board.

When asked for examples of how that played out, Matheson said he had none but maintained the separation was amicable.

Rieger did not respond to requests for comment May 14. Her last day in the office was May 12, which was made clear at the board meeting on May 13.

Rieger is to receive 18 months of her salary as settlement, according to Matheson.

A typical settlement is about two years or [ more RIEGER page 15 ]

Secretary of State stops in Renton to defend Pacific trade agreement

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Secretary of State John Kerry made a visit to Renton on Tuesday and defended the Trans Pacific Partnership treaty as good for Washington and the country.

With the Boeing 737 production facility as a backdrop, Kerry delivered a 50-minute defense of President Obama’s Pacific Rim trade package that has come under fire from opponents both outside and within the President’s own party.

“The reasons why it is important are straight-

forward and sensible,” Kerry said, urging Congress to put the legislation on the “fast track.”

“We’ve got to be engaged. We’ve got to lead,” he said. “Globalization has no reverse gear.”

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade agreement among 12 Pacific Rim nations that, according to Kerry, constitute 40 percent of the world’s economy.

Kerry called the TPP “historical” and a “21st Century Agreement,” concluding “This is not your grandparent’s trade agreement.” [ more KERRY page 8 ]

One Renton family has been chosen for the special honor of representing Washington State for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s fundraising efforts for kids with cancer.

The Gonzales-Pebworth family will be one of 50 Hero Family State Representatives around the country participating in a national fundraising weekend called Alex’s Lemonade Days, June 12-14.

will host a lemonade stand from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 14, at the CVAC Baseball Fields, 16840 116th Ave.

S.E., Renton. The event features appearances by the Seattle Seahawks’ Blitz, a Disney princess, Batman,

clowns, face-painting, bounce houses, dunk tank, a taco truck, a hair donation station, a blood drive, bake sale, raffle and of course, lemonade.

Antonio, a young cancer survivor in his 10th year of remission, was featured in a Renton Reporter story last year. He and his mother raised more than

$10,000 last year with the same event and have raised more than $50,000 during the past nine years to fight childhood cancer.

“Antonio thought it was really cool to represent Washington,” said Gonzales. “He likes that his story inspires others and that our events help other kids with cancer.”

The mom said it warms her heart to see how many people have been willing to help with a cause that means so much to them.

Renton’s shelters get nearly $94,000 grant

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches (REACH) was granted nearly $94,000 from United Way and the City of Seattle to expand the winter shelter at Harambee center to a year-round shelter.

The shelter has been renamed the extended overnight shelter because of the grant. It was originally an emergency severe weather and winter shelter that typically saw 45 to 50 people on a nightly basis.

The Harambee shelter is unique because the shelter puts up families.

Families include single moms and

dads with kids and there are even a few spaces for single women.

This past January, the plan was to keep the shel“There are some ter open for women-only shelters...but other three months, than that families until REACH in the past in South staff discovKing County didn’t ered the grant have a place to go.” and applied.

Since the extended overnight shelter has been open, five families have found jobs and six families are expected to move into long-term housing within the next couple of weeks, said Smith.

“And I think that’s all because they’ve been stable and they’ve gotten the kids back in school and they have a stable and safe community and a place to lay their head at night,” she said.

“Oh, I think it’s wonderful,” said Rev. Dr. Linda Smith, REACH Center of Hope director.

Families come from all over South King County, Smith said, as the shelter is one of few in the area.

It was good news when staff heard about the award because Smith said she didn’t want to have to turn at least 15 families back out to the street.

“There are some women-only shelters; there’s the ARISE program, but other than that families in the past in South King County didn’t have a place to go,” Smith said.

As teachers across the state participate in rolling strikes in different cities, Renton teachers have opted for a oneday protest of after school sign-waving on May 28 to bring attention to their frustrations.

According to Cami Kiel, Renton Education Association president, many teachers wanted to walk out, but they decided against a one-day strike so as not to hinder students’ schedule, she told the Renton School Board on May 13.

Instead teachers in the Renton teachers’ union, which numbers more than 1,000 members, will be waving signs at intersections after school on May 28.

The dangers of these fires are the possibility of someone getting hurt, killed, or losing their business,” Fire Chief Mark Peterson said in a press release.

The fire department is advising residents and business owners to take extra precautions aimed at reducing the likelihood of a fire being set near their home or business.

Tips include: • Do not store garbage, discarded materials or other combustibles near any structures; • Keep the exterior of your building lit during nighttime hours; and • Report any suspicious activities that you see occur-

“While many REA members wanted to walk out, just like their colleagues are doing across the state, it was decided by our teachers that we would be courageous in a different way,” said Kiel via email.

They will be protesting the “lack of ample funding to public schools as required in the McCleary decision, possible healthcare reforms, threats to teacher-evaluation, failure to even acknowledge the passage of I-1351 (class size reduction measure) by the voters and a general lack of progress on the budget,” she said.

When Kiel announced the REA’s plans, School Board President Pam Teal gave her support at the May 13 school board meeting and said she would be out among the protesters on May 28.

“I’m really proud of the teachers for doing that and not hurting families and still sending a message,” Teal said.

Two-term Renton City Councilmember Greg Taylor has opted not to run for a third term, creating an open seat on the council in this year’s election.

Taylor said in a press release his business as a “a consultant, specializing in personal and organizational development training through an equity and social justice lens” has expanded over the past few years and made it difficult to devote the time to his council duties as he would like.

“I can no longer devote the necessary time and attention to the job of councilmember that the residents of Renton deserve as the demands of my

business require more and more travel away from the region,” he said. “Thank you to all of the residents of Renton for the opportunity and privilege Greg Taylor of serving as your council member.”

Taylor was elected in 2007 and re-elected in 2011. He is currently chairman of the Utilities Committee, vice chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Public Safety Committee. He has also served on the Community Services, Planning and Development and Transportation Committees.

Grooming: Dogs Regular brushing, bathing, and nail care are essential.

Protect your puppy’s eyes and ears when bathing, and don’t allow the puppy to become chilled after bathing.

Your veterinarian may recommend that you do not bathe your puppy when it is younger than 10 to 12 weeks unless absolutely necessary (especially if your puppy is one of the smaller breeds).

Cats Cats do a good job of grooming themselves, but regular brushing to prevent matting of hair is important. Cats rarely need a bath, but one can be given if necessary.

Cats object to bathing in slippery tubs, so give your kitten something to cling to, such as a wood platform or a wire screen. Use a shampoo designed for cats and kittens, as some dog shampoos may be irritating.

Place cotton balls in the kitten’s ears to keep out water and use an ophthalmic ointment (obtain one that is safe for kittens from your veterinarian) in its eyes to prevent burning from shampoo. Towel dry the kitten completely and gently comb out any mats. Kittens’ teeth should be carefully brushed on a regular basis. Your veterinarian can provide you with an appropriate toothbrush, dentifrice, and instruction on how to perform this task so that your kitten learns to accept this as part of its daily care.

A time to remember vets This Memorial Day, there will be honor guards snapping to attention as flags ripple in the breeze. Amidst the green lawn and bright flowers of cemeteries throughout the state, lone buglers and mournful pipers will evoke a heartfelt tear.

On Monday, I hope we can all shut off our smart phones and pause from our barbecues and picnics and our busy lives. That we can take a moment to remember those who served in the military, who gave their precious lives for our nation, for our way of life and for our freedom.

Whether they died a century ago, or just last week, their sacrifice renews itself every single day as we who probably never knew them go William Shaw

Last week’s poll results: “Do you favor Gov. Jay Inslee’s cap-and-trade policies?”

I was settled onto the couch with my wife last Wednesday when I got a text from reporter Tracey Compton with the news from that night’s Renton School Board meeting: “(Superintendent Merri) Rieger resigned. Difference in philosophy with the board.”

It was 9:30 p.m. and I was already in my jammies after a long day putting the paper together, but I immediately sprang into action, posting that news to our Facebook page and waiting for a press release from the district with additional information.

It is now a week later and we still don’t know exactly why and no one is talking.

And that is unacceptable.

Though the decision came as a surprise to Tracey and I – and a lot of you apparently – it was not news to the board, which we later learned had been working on a separation agreement with the former superintendent for about a month.

When the time came, district spokesperson Randy Matheson was able to hand Tracey a printed version of the release that he put on Facebook (and we published on www.rentonreporter.com) soon after.

In the press release, board President Pam Teal was clear that there was no impropriety on the part of Rieger but simply “differing viewpoints” on how to provide every student with a meaningful education.

On one hand, this is a good thing. Dismissing a superintendent is not something to be taken lightly, especially after only two years on the job. The separation agreement, as well as the search for both Rieger and the next superintendent, are not cheap and right now we need all the money we can get put back into the classroom.

And it’s somewhat comforting to know that she did nothing wrong and this was simply an example of the elected representatives of the people deciding that the person they hired to execute their policy goals was not the right one.

That’s how it’s supposed to work in a civilized world.

But on the other hand, at least impropriety would make the decision easy to understand.

As it was, all we had to go on was the phrase “differing views” with no details or explanations, and that was wholly unsatisfying, especially to professional questioners like those of us in a newsroom.

We were particularly eager to get the details because last week was also candidate filing week and as of meeting time, not a single person had signed up to challenge any of the incumbents on the School Board and time was running out for voters and potential candidates to decide if they still agreed with the philosophy of the current board or if they wanted new representatives.

Armed robbery attempt The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

A man pointed a rifle at an employee of the Chevron gas station on Northeast Sunset Boulevard at about 1 a.m. May 3, demanded cash and then followed the fleeing employee out the front door.

The employee was stocking shelves when the suspect walked in, demanding that the employee place money in a plastic bag. The employee asked the man to put down the

about 15 subjects who had been arguing and fighting at about 9 p.m. May 1 at Renton Transit Center downtown.

The man started to leave but then turned around and asked the officer whether he could speak with him. His $900 cell phone, backpack and jacket had been stolen. His hands were scraped and bloodied and he wreaked of alcohol.

His girlfriend agreed to help remove him from the transit center. He got as far as Logan Avenue, where he stopped traffic with his screaming and flailing.

Arrested on an outstanding warrant, he was taken first to Highline Medical Center for a medical checkup. That took about two hours. An X-ray would take another 90

rifle, then walked toward the register – and ran out the door without giving him any money.

The suspect crossed over Sunset, then ran east. The employee, meanwhile, was yelling for help.

The robber, about 30 years old, was wearing a dark gray hoodie, with the hood up, and black sweat pants.

‘CATCH A BODY’: An agitated 25-yearold Seattle man told a Renton Police officer he’s no snitch but he would “catch a body,” apparently a reference to his homicidal animosity toward the man who stole his $900 cell phone.

CELL STOLEN: A 15-year-old Renton boy was hit in the head and his cell phone stolen April 29 while he was waiting for a bus on Union Avenue Northeast.

The suspect, in his teens, hit the victim, who was able to knock the suspect to the ground with his own blow. The victim’s phone fell to the ground, which the suspect picked up; he fled in a waiting white SUV. The victim was treated at Highline Hospital.

The victim’s own research led to photos of the suspect on Instagram, wearing the same clothing as during the robbery.

message was simply that the United States must remain involved in world trade.

The Secretary of State was introduced by Patrick Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs for Boeing Commercial Division, who reminded the crowd that the 737, assembled in Renton, is the most widely used jet in the world, with one taking off or landing somewhere every 1.9 seconds. A total of more than 8,500 737 planes have been assembled in Renton with another 4,200 on order.

More than 12,000 people work at the Renton facility, turning out a completed 737 every 12 hours.

Shanahan also said the Secretary of State’s 757 was built here in Renton but joked “I think we should get you a new one.”

Kerry, a pilot since college, also joked about his plane, asking “Don’t you think I ought to be able to trade up?”

“I promise,” he said, “I’ll show it off all over the world.”

Mayor Denis Law was on hand for the visit, calling it a “pretty special moment for Renton” that Kerry chose the city to make his address on trade. The mayor also said that the secretary’s visit, combined with a visit to Renton Technical College by the vice president in October spoke to the up-and coming nature of the city and its economy.

“It’s really a good time for our city,” Law said.

We’re on a mission If you’re reading this message, you may feel as we do at Susan G. Komen Puget Sound: we’re on a mission. It’s so important that everyone have access to breast cancer screening programs, as well as equal insurance coverage for cancer treatments. The lives and well-being of our loved ones and all the women in our communities are at stake.

Everything we do is aimed at fighting this awful disease, and you can help. Educate yourself about breast health.

Encourage your loved ones to be screened. Be an advocate.

And don’t forget to join us for the 22nd annual Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® on Sunday, June 7 at Seattle Center. Together we’ll celebrate the strength and courage of breast cancer survivors while raising critical funds to battle breast cancer locally.

To save $5 and have your registration fee matched dollar-for-dollar, sign up in person at an Xfinity store from April 20 through Race day. Donations are accepted and matched as well; up to $35. Our thanks to Comcast for their generous matching program, which could bring in as much as $25,000 for our cause. Our appreciation also to presenting sponsor QFC and all the companies and teams who come together to make Race such a great experience each year.

Check out our website and fundraising app and be sure to sign up your friends, co-workers and family for Race for the Cure on June 7. Got kids? We’ll have plenty of fun for them and – for the first time – your canine friend!

If you’d rather volunteer – or just make a donation – we welcome your participation as well. After Race for the Cure, please check out our other upcoming events and opportunities. Together, we’ll make a difference against breast cancer and in our communities.

Yours in the fight, David Richart Executive Director Susan G. Komen Puget Sound

XFINITY STORES OFFER RACE FOR THE CURE REGISTRATION, DONATION MATCHES Comcast is matching Race for the Cure Puget Sound registration fees and donations up to $35 for those who sign up in person at participating Xfinity retail stores.

To double your donation, head to your local Xfinity retail store and look for the pink iPad display. Race registrations will be accepted and matched at Xfinity stores through Friday, June 5 and donations through Race day – Sunday, June 7.

Comcast has committed to support the matching campaign up to $25,000. The company will match one registration fee or donation per participant.

“Employees throughout Comcast participated in the Race for the Cure for years, and it’s exciting to take this support to a new level. I can’t think of anyone at Comcast who hasn’t been touched in some way by breast cancer through personal experience or family and friends. We are excited to partner with the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound and be a part of the solution to end breast cancer,” said Steve Kipp, Vice President of External Affairs for Comcast.

Washington State has the 5th highest breast cancer incidence rate in the U.S., according to a 2015 American Cancer Society survey. Breast cancer affects women and men across regions, ethnicities, and ages.

In 2015, there are expected to be nearly 295,000 new breast cancer cases and over 40,000 deaths in the United States.

For more information about the registration and donation match and a list of participating Xfinity stores, visit: www.KomenPugetSound.org/ ComcastMatch.

Breast cancer and family life Patients get well faster with family support.

Family is at the heart of everyday life for most people. Busy schedules are filled with work, school, daycare, and hobbies. Add to that all the shopping, housework, and a few other activities and suddenly you’re faced with overload. Such is life, vibrant and joyful, until the day when the unthinkable happens. Mom (or even Dad, although it’s more rare) develops breast cancer.

Even though breast cancer primarily affects women, men can also receive this diagnosis. A newly diagnosed person sometimes has to leave her job, either temporarily or permanently, to undergo the appropriate treatment. The family has to

reorganize and confront increased expenses and a reduction in income, especially if the parent has to be sent away to be treated. Indeed, oncology centers are usually located in large urban areas.

It is quite understandable that parents feel totally distraught at the thought of having to leave their children and suffer through this ordeal all alone.

Fortunately, many types of support are available. Common supports are loved ones, self-help groups, organizations and foundations that provide counseling, and accommodations near specialized oncology centers. With the Internet, webcams, and social media, it is now much easier to communicate from a distance and experience the support of family. It is important to stay in touch with children and stay involved in their daily lives; it helps make the long wait seem shorter, and it soothes everyone’s worries.

In happiness as in adversity, it is comforting to be able to count on a united family. Send a clear message to those treacherous cancer cells—the family will have the last word!

KOMEN ON A MISSION TO END BREAST CANCER

Founded in 1992 by local volunteers who shared a vision of ending breast cancer forever, the Puget Sound Affiliate has invested more than $28.6 million to fight breast cancer.

Funding from Race for the Cure and other Komen Puget Sound events support community programs, as well as groundbreaking science to find a cure.

Komen funds breast cancer early detection and education.

Here are just a few of the organizations that benefit:

Cancer Lifeline—

Patient Assistance & Treatment Support, helping low-income patients who are in treatment for breast cancer.

Washington State Department of Health—Komen Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnostic Program, lifesaving mammograms and diagnostic services to nearly 8,000 low income women

Franciscan Foundation—

Breast Cancer Navigation Program, screening, diagnostics and treatment for Asian, Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic, Native American and sexual minority women in Tacoma/Pierce County

South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency—

Native Women’s Wellness Program, providing breast health outreach, education, screening and support to women in rural tribal communities.

THE FABULOUS FOOBS

With a name like The Fabulous Foobs, the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure team co-led by survivor Dana Chambers would have a good story behind it. Indeed, “foobs” are the result of Dana’s own journey, which began in December 2013 with a needle biopsy and diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma.

Dana, married and “mom” to a quarter horse named Gunnar, was told to prepare for surgery, chemo and a long, difficult year. Determined to win the battle, she opted for a double mastectomy, and ended up having 16 lymph nodes out too.

Dana recalls a difficult recovery from surgery, followed by a surprising rebound during chemo. Though she lost her hair and experienced pain and fatigue, she took RV trips with her

Also, a minimum of 25 percent of the affiliate’s net income goes to breast cancer research. Here are just a few of the Komen Scholars funded in the past year: • Julie Gralow, M.D., of the University of Washington, is exploring whether there are features found on breast cancer cells at the time of diagnosis that make the cancer cells more likely to spread to the bone or other sites. Dr. Gralow and her team also test whether biophosphonates, a class of drugs that inhibit bone breakdown, can decrease breast cancer recurrence.

• Benjamin Anderson, M.D., of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, to continue his professional work in addressing breast cancer disparities around the globe.

• Mary-Claire King, Ph.D., of the University of Washington to screen for mutations in the non-coding regions of breast cancer genes that may regulate when and where those genes get activated, potentially identifying novel mutations and new mechanisms for inherited breast cancer.

Dr. King is well known for her discovery of the BRCA1 gene. Studies have shown that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (combined with other known genetic risk mutations) account for about one-third of hereditary breast cancers.

husband, rode Gunnar and made progress on her quilting projects. “I was not about to let cancer rule my life and take away the things I love the most,” she said.

She signed up for her first Race for the Cure and joined thousands of Komen Puget Sound supporters and fundraisers at Seattle Center last June. “At the end of the one-mile walk I was so warm that I decided to remove my bandana in public for the first time,” she said. A photographer captured the moment when a friend kissed Dana’s bald head. That compelling shot – with Dana’s beautiful grin – graces this year’s Race flyers and ads.

Dana’s battle isn’t finished. Chemo ended, but her oncologist advised Herceptin infusions and an anti-estrogen medicine along with radiation. With treatments and reconstruction still in her future, Dana works at maintaining a positive attitude, expressing thanks to God, family, friends and a supportive medical team. “I’m going to the gym, walking, riding my horse and living my life,” Dana said. “And I’ll see all of you at Race for the Cure on June 7!”

THERE’S A SAYING THAT VOLUNTEERS DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE TIME, but they do have heart.

If that’s true, then Susan G. Komen Puget Sound volunteer Barb Tiller has heart—lots of it. The 70-year-old Seattle native has been an active Komen Puget Sound volunteer for 20 years, beginning her involvement with the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1996. This year’s Race for the Cure brings Barb’s volunteer career full circle as she tackles the challenge of wrangling close to 500 helpers as the Race volunteer co-chair.

“I’ve always loved Komen, ever since I started volunteering,” Barb says.

That love was born of a chance meeting with a pair of breast cancer survivors, a meeting she counts as a transformational moment in her journey. “They were so full of life and happy,” she recalls.

“They’d just gone through treatment and losing a breast, and I thought ‘How could they be happy going through something like that?’”

Barb soon recognized

that it is the feeling of sisterhood among survivors that lies at the root of their joy. Since then, Barb has been an active Komen volunteer, providing support for everything from administrative work in the organization’s downtown Seattle office to greeting guests at events. Her volunteer work, she says, “is just something of a passion now. I want to continue to work with Komen and be a part of the cure.”

As Race volunteer cochair, Barb is charged with managing a variety of roles required to ensure the event goes smoothly. However, her greatest joy in the role is in seeing all of the other who are also interested in finding a cure. She is inspired by these volunteers, many of them breast cancer survivors, who share her determination to bring an end to the disease.

WAYS TO SUPPORT A SURVIVOR It may be hard to know what to say or do when someone has breast cancer, even when you really want to help. Susan G. Komen has resources for “co-survivors,” along with suggested ways to offer support and take care of yourself during this difficult time.

A co-survivor can be anyone who offers support, including family, friends, spouses, partners, kids, co-workers, healthcare providers, support groups and spiritual advisors.

There are many ways to support a survivor.

Thoughtful gestures big and small mean a lot, whether the person has just been diagnosed or completed treatment years ago. By giving support you show strength and love. There are three main types of support: informational, emotional and practical. Survivors may need different types of support at different times.

Informational support involves learning all you can about breast cancer, because the more you know, the more you can help. You can learn common breast cancer terms and treatment options, make a list of questions to ask the

doctor, or gather information for your loved one and share what you’ve learned.

Emotional support means you’re aware a diagnosis of breast cancer can bring about a wide range of emotions including shock, fear, denial, sadness and anger. As your loved one goes through this, just listen. Let them express their feelings. Give them a hug if it will be of comfort.

Practical support means helping with dayto-day tasks. You could offer to cook or clean, drive them to the doctor, deliver a hot meal, do laundry, send a note or watch their kids.

Sometimes co-survivors need help too.

Support groups are available for caregivers. You can also ask others to help so that you can take a break. By going to www.komen.org/cosurvivor, you can connect with others on Komen’s cosurvivor message board and create an online calendar to assist your loved one.

If you’re a co-survivor in need of support or tips, visit www.komen.org/cosurvivor or call the breast care helpline at 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636).

Making healthy lifestyle choices Healthy lifestyle choices may help lower your risk of different types of cancer and other health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

Though not all these behaviors lower the risk of breast cancer, they are good for overall health.

• Eat at least 2 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables every day.

• Choose 100 percent whole grain foods (such as 100 percent whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, millet and quinoa).

• Be physically active (get regular exercise).

• Limit red meat and processed meat.

Choose chicken, fish or beans more often.

• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. (Survivors who are overweight or obese should limit high-calorie foods and beverages and increase physical activity to help with weight loss.)

• Limit “bad” fats (saturated and trans fats). These are found in foods such as red meat, fatty deli meats, poultry skin, full fat dairy, fried foods, margarine, donuts and microwave popcorn.

• Eat “good” fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats). These are found in foods such as olive and canola oil, nuts and natural nut butters, avocado and olives.

• Limit alcohol intake to less than one drink a day for women and fewer than two drinks a day for men.

Being physically active, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and to a lesser degree, eating fruits and vegetables may help lower your risk of breast cancer. Other factors are good for your overall health and may help lower the risk of other types of cancer.

Three years later and still fighting the good fight

Now in remission for six years, Renton’s Jennifer Teeler is using what she learned during her fight to inspire others

BY TRACEY COMPTON TCOMPTON@RENTONREPORTER.COM

When last the Renton Reporter spoke to breast cancer survivor Jennifer Teeler, she had put three years between her and her battle with the disease. Now at 50, she’s been in remission for six years and said she’s still experienced more joy in life than sorrow.

Back in 2012, Teeler was into her lifestyle change, foregoing using a microwave and pass“Dealing with my ing up fast food, eating vegetables own diagnosis gave and exercising. me the tools to help Today her house still does not the rest of my family have a microwave, something she as we dealt with one and her family gave up because dire situation after she thought it may have ill effects anoother..” on their health. She’s also kept her Councilman Don Persson commitment to use plastic bottles sparingly and limits processed food.

“I’m still somewhat active,” she said. “But I don’t do either of those things as well as I did last time we talked,” she said of eating veggies and exercising.

She tried to get her family to follow suit, but said that they eat more junk food as a reaction to her rejection of it, she thinks. Her husband Tony and her daughters Ellie and Abigail have been known to have a Big Mac from time to time.

One thing that hasn’t changed is Teeler’s faith. It still defines her and has carried her through recent trials with family members.

When she was diagnosed with cancer at age 42, her life

COURTESY PHOTO had been pretty easy up until that point and she’d had no history of the disease in her family. Last year her sister, at age 45, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Soon after she finished treatment, their mom suffered kidney failure and is now on dialysis. If that wasn’t enough, last Christmas Teeler’s father had surgery on his carotid artery.

“Everyone is doing well now, but dealing with my own diagnosis gave me the tools to help the rest of my family

as we dealt with one dire situation after another,” Teeler said. “On the flip side though, God has also filled my life with a happy marriage, healthy children - one who is graduating from high school this year - family vacations, new nieces and nephews, lots of reasons to rejoice and much more joy than sorrow.”

Teeler has the privilege, she said, of walking beside [ more TEELER page 7 ]

Breast Cancer Warning Signs Due to the use of regular mammography screening, most breast cancers in the U.S. are found at an early stage – before signs appear. However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography.

Though warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women, the most common signs are a change in the look or feel of a breast or nipple, or nipple discharge.

If you have any of the warning signs described below, see a health care provider. If you do not have a provider, one of the best ways to find a good one is to get a referral from a trusted family member or friend. If that is not an option, call your health department, a clinic or a nearby hospital.

• Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area • Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast

• Change in the size or shape of the breast • Dimpling or puckering of the skin • Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple • Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast • Nipple discharge that starts suddenly • New pain in one spot that does not go away.

In most cases, these changes are not cancer.

For example, breast pain is more common with benign breast conditions than with breast cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to see a provider. If you have breast cancer, it is best to find it at an early stage, when the chances of survival are highest.

DID YOU KNOW? Washington State has the 5th highest breast cancer incidence rate in the U.S., according to a 2015 American Cancer Society survey.

Breast cancer affects women and men across regions, ethnicities, and ages. In 2015, there are expected to be nearly 295,000 new breast cancer cases and over 40,000 deaths in the United States.

KOMEN PUGET SOUND

many women who are undergoing cancer treatment, as the volunteer resource manager for the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen.

She tries to impart to other women some of the peace and strength God gave her when she was on the same path.

Time is still worth more than money to her, which is why she enjoys her work at the nonprofit.

“Once you spend an hour or a day or a week, you can never earn it back,” Teeler said.

“That’s one of the reasons that I

so enjoy working with volunteers. I believe that it’s easier to give a dollar to a good cause than to give an hour. Volunteers are generous people who believe so passionately in the organization they are supporting that they are willing to give their time to that organization.”

Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® still has lots of volunteer jobs available for the race, June 7, at Seattle Center.

www.rentonreporter.com [ EDITOR’S ‘S NOTE from page 6] So the next morning, with the comments asking about those differences already beginning to pile up on our website and Facebook page, Tracey set out to try and find what they were.

Unfortunately, all sides remained mum and despite our efforts, our Thursday story provided little additional insight into the board’s decision. Though by Friday, a pair of challengers had filed to run for seats on the board.

Tracey continued to push all parties involved, including members of the board.

Earlier this week, we heard back from Matheson that “as part of the amicable decision for Dr. Rieger to resign, the board and Dr. Rieger entered into an agreement to not discuss the matter.”

[ CORNFIELD from page 6] a half-century of legislative decisions on which the financing of public schools has built — illegally, it turns out.

Those decisions led districts to become too dependent on local tax levies to make up for the lack of state dollars to run schools and pay teachers. Fixing this isn’t as easy as passing a couple of laws and calling it good.

Consider the players involved and the dynamics of the political conversation.

There’s the Legislature. Its 147 members are hurtling toward a second special session due to disagreements over a new state budget, and now they’re under pressure to agree on a complete makeover of the rules for school financing and teacher salaries.

And there are the school districts. These are essentially 295 independently owned and operated enterprises. Each has different management teams, supported by different investors (taxpayers), and their workforce is mostly unionized.

Multiple approaches are getting floated as part of a potential grand bargain among lawmakers.

There’s an idea of a levy swap. This would raise the state’s property tax rate and lower districts’ property tax levies. This is envisioned as a dollar-for-dollar trade.

Another idea would create a capitalgains tax on Washington’s wealthiest 7,500 residents to generate a pot of money that could displace some of those local levy

As I said, that quite frankly is completely unacceptable and I hope voters make that known during this election season.

Honestly, School Board member is a pretty thankless job. It’s a lot of work and a lot of extra hours (remember, this news came at 9:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and the meeting was not yet over…). There’s no money in it and less prestige.

But it is important. Very important, in fact. School Board members, like any other elected officials, are supposed to represent the electorate of the district or city they serve.

Because these offices are non-partisan, we vote not for party, but for the person or people with whom we most agree, who will most represent our voice and our issues while on the dais.

But how are we supposed to know if we

dollars.

Complicating matters is an absence of trust in lawmakers to deliver on pledges they make. Not only are there doubts among the education establishment, many lawmakers worry about breaking promises and winding up in front of the Supreme Court again.

Tuesday morning a group of superintendents and school finance officers huddled in Redmond to assess differing and evolving proposals sprouting in Olympia.

Similar gatherings are occurring around the state and on the Capitol campus almost daily.

“We’re trying to figure out what they really mean,” said Everett schools Superintendent Gary Cohn, who was in Redmond.

While no one intends to harm students or the schools they attend, Cohn said there’s concern lawmakers will settle on a “collection of deals and bargains and compromises that creates an unintended consequence.”

“Our worry is that there won’t be a series of solutions that is adequate time-wise and that’s ample funding-wise to be able to maintain programs while the state takes its responsibility,” he said.

“It is very difficult for them to come up with a simple answer in a short period of time,” he said, “yet we don’t have a lot of time.”

Contact Everett Herald political reporter Jerry Cornfield at 360-352-8623 and jcornfield@heraldnet.com.

Some Some people people talk talk about about doing doing great great things. things. Others Others just just do do them. them.

agree with the board when they will not tell us the philosophical differences that led to the superintendent’s ouster? How are we supposed to know if the person whose name is on the ballot still actually represents our views and philosophy of education if they will not tell us what theirs is?

And the fact that this happened with only two days left for potential candidates to file to run is particularly grating. Now, I am not suggesting that it was done intentionally to prevent other candidates from filing. I believe this was put on the agenda for the next meeting after it was all worked out and that meeting just happened to fall during candidate filing week.

Like them with Rieger, I see no impropriety on the part of the board.

But as a taxpayer and a voter, I feel they owe it to me to explain their decision. I might agree with it. But I might not. And I should have had the opportunity to vote for someone else if that is the case.

But unfortunately, we just don’t know.

Elected officials of all stripes have a responsibility to their constituents to explain their decisions and to face the court of public opinion on those decisions in November.

Maybe we agree with the board. Maybe we don’t.

But not knowing is unacceptable.

...obituaries Robert Jay Wixom

Robert Jay Wixom, 89, passed away peacefully on May 12, 2015 in Renton WA. Bob is remembered for his gentle spirit, his kindness and generosity, creative talents and dedication to family.

Bob was born in Columbus, North Dakota on October 3, 1925 to Robert Sr. and Alma Wixom. He graduated from McHenry High School in North Dakota, then joined the navy and served during World War II. Bob’s family moved to Renton, where he met his love, Josephine Ruffalo, and was married in 1950 at St. Anthony Catholic Church. They spent time together traveling, playing cards and attending art and music events. Bob was an involved member of his church and Renton communities. We will admire his many creative projects and paintings for years to come. He began his 30 year career with Boeing in 1959 as a Technical Illustrator. Bob’s artistic talent and passion as a water color artist touched the lives of many. He loved art, music nature, and all people.

Bob is survived by his wife Josephine of 65 years; daughters, Janet Wixom, Rita Berg (Gary); grandchildren, Lauren Gordon (Evan), Ryan Lukjanowicz, Jordan Berg and Alexa Berg; sister, Carvel Eaton (Jim), brother, Larry Wixom (Grace), and many nieces and nephews.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Renton on May 29 at 11:00am followed by a reception. Burial will take place at Greenwood Memorial Cemetery at 2pm.

Viewing is at the church before the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Kline Galland Hospice, 5950 6th Ave S. #100, Seattle, 98108.

RTC board names next president Renton Technical College on Wednesday announced the Board of Trustees has selected Dr. Kevin D. McCarthy to lead the institution starting July 1.

McCarthy, who is currently the vice president of instruction at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, will replace President Steve Hanson, who

will retire at the end of June. “The feedback we heard from students, faculty, staff, and alumni confirmed the board’s decision,� said Board Chair Susan Palmer in a release.

McCarthy was the dean of Health Sciences, Education and Wellness Institute at Bellevue College from 2010 to 2013. He also served as the associate vice president of instruction at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, Ore., from 2007 to 2010.

McCarthy received his Ph.D. and

master’s degrees in American history from the University of Mississippi. He worked as an educator and administrator at Colorado Rocky Dr. Kevin McCarthy Mountain School, (CRMS) in Carbondale, Colo. He also served as an instructor at the University of Mississippi, and a visiting assistant professor at the University of Georgia.

Hazen soccer makes state tourney, but falls in opener

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

After winning three games in five days to make the state tournament, the Hazen Highlanders playoff run came to a halt Tuesday night with a 1-0 first-round loss to Interlake.

Interlake, currently ranked second in the state, scored in the 35th minute and was able to keep Hazen out of the net all night.

This was the second meeting of the season for the two teams as Hazen also opened its season with a 5-0 loss to Interlake, but Coach Ken Matthews said he was proud

of how much his team had grown since their first meeting.

“I hope they’ll look back in a few days and realize how far they came from that first game,” he said in an email in which he called this a “great and memorable year.”

Prior to Tuesday’s loss, the Highlanders had come off an impressive win streak, including three games in five days.

The run began with a 2-1 victory over Prairie in a district play-in game May 12 at Highline Stadium and was followed with a 2-1 win over Capital May 14 in a loser-out match at Mt. Tahoma High School.

In the Capital game, Reyes Gar-

Hazen’s Hart named girls track Athlete of the Week

Lindbergh boys season comes to an end In other soccer news, the Lindbergh Eagles also won their first district game but saw their season come to an end in the semi-finals.

Lindbergh beat Orting 4-1 on May 14 at Renton Memorial Stadium to advance to the next round and a match-up with North Kitsap.

But the Vikings proved to be too much for the Eagles, who fell 2-1 May 16 at Franklin Pierce Stadium.

No statistics were available for either game.

Lindbergh finished the year with a 9-6-3 overall record. cia and Zach Quesnal each netted a goal and got the assist on the other’s scoring chance.

On May 16, the Highlanders earned their spot in the state tournament with a 3-1 over Shelton.

Garcia had two goals in the game (both off assists from Ethan Kem).

Drew Wilson scored Hazen’s other goal in the match.

Hazen ends the year with a 14-5-1 overall record.

Patriots soccer wins district, stays alive at states

Hazen’s Sarah Hart has been selected as the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association’s female track Athlete of the Week.

Hart, a junior, won the 800- and 1600-meter races at the All-City Track meet on May 8 and also took fourth place in the 3200 meters to help the Highlanders take home the AllCity Track trophy for the first time since 1995.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate.

Winners are also posted to the WIAA website.

The Liberty Patriots Boys soccer team is in the midst of an impressive postseason run that has already led them to the second round of the state tournament.

On Tuesday, the Patriots needed penalty kicks to get by Anacortes 3-2 after the teams were knotted at 2 at the end of regulation.

Ethan Diaz and Tyler Jensen scored the goals for the Patriots in the 31st and 41st minute, respectively to give Liberty a 2-0 lead, but Anacortes rallied back, scoring two in the last two minutes of play to send the game into penalty kicks.

Liberty outshot Anacortes 10-3 in the game.

The win set up a second-round matchup with the winner of Wednesday’s R.A. Long - Archbishop Murphy game (results were too late for this edition of the Renton Reporter).

Liberty earned their spot in the state tourney with a 3-0 win over Tyee on May 16 at Franklin Pierce Stadium. Nate Steenis, Noah Anderson and Michael Daly scored for the Patriots and Griffin Lockhart had two assists.

When asked if there were performance issues, Matheson said, “No, these were just differences in philosophy about pursuing our work and pursuing our goals.”

According to Matheson, the School Board has been evaluating Rieger – similar to how teachers are evaluated – for the two years that she’s been in office. For the past month or so, the board and Rieger have been in negotiations about her separation.

All the while, according to the spokesperson, Rieger worked continuously for the students of the district and the board worked with her on different initiatives.

“The board hires superintendents and then it’s their job to evaluate superintendents and then it’s their job to work with the superintendent to have her or him move forward with the district,” Matheson said. “And then the board, as an organization, and the superintendent, as an individual, can decide this isn’t a good fit.”

That’s what happened here, according to Matheson.

Also on May 13, the board appointed Dr. Art Jarvis as interim superintendent, effective July 1. Jarvis is a former superintendent of the Tacoma and Enumclaw school districts.

Sheryl Moore, assistant superintendent for Human Resources, has taken over as acting superintendent through June 30. At the May 13 School Board meeting, she said her top three goals are to serve Renton’s scholars, provide daily and transparent communication to the board and make a smooth transition for leadership to bring Jarvis on board.

Reaction on social media has expressed

Merri Rieger meets with a young student during an event last summer. FILE PHOTO COURTESY RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT

sadness and curiosity at Rieger’s departure. At the May 13 School Board meeting, board member Todd Franceschina said he thinks that Jarvis can lead the district during this time.

“I believe in this district and the staff in this district,” said Franceschina.

This development is a first for the Renton School District. The previous superintendent, Mary Alice Heuschel left the position because she was hired by newly elected Gov. Jay Inslee. The two prior superintendents Dolores Gibbons and Gary Kohlwes both retired out of the position.

The district will actively begin its search for the next superintendent starting next school year. A search firm will be hired and candidates will go through staff and community review as was the case with Rieger’s hiring, Matheson said.

Jarvis is expected to lead until July 1, 2016.
