Early Tuesday morning, dozens of teachers drove to Issaquah High School, parked in the lot and filed indoors. Not an unusual for a mid-week school day.

Except on this day, no students would arrive and the teachers wouldn’t lead classes.

Instead, they met in the school’s library to come up with a different kind of lesson plan: how best to picket Front Street.

Issaquah School District teachers staged a walkout Tuesday in protest of state lawmakers’ continued failure to fund basic education. Teachers gathered at Issaquah High, Skyline High School and Liberty High School to picket downtown Issaquah, Sammamish and the Renton Highlands for two hours before taking shuttles to Seattle Center, where they joined teachers from Mercer Island and Seattle school districts.

• Various senior services • Senior products and demos • Massages and screenings • Giveaways and prizes

Tuesday’s protest was part of a larger campaign of 24 local chapters of the Washington Education Association union. Rolling walkouts have taken place since April 22 and more than 4,000 teachers and supporters gathered at the Capitol building in Olympia April 25.

The Issaquah Education Association announced its walkout last week, prompting the District to cancel school for the day.

“I cannot endorse this walkout and regret the negative impact to our students and families,” district Superintendent Ron Thiele wrote in a letter to parents May 14. “However, I do share some of the frustration that has led the teachers across the state to take this action.”

While picketing the four corners of Front Street and Gilman Boulevard in their red “It’s Time” t-shirts, teachers received a steady barrage of supporting honks. One truck driver pointed out his own red shirt before letting out a mighty bellow from his rig.

“My biggest hope is to send a message to the

The Klahanie annexation area will officially join the city of Sammamish, most likely by January 2016.

A large majority of Klahanie residents, 86 percent, voted in favor of annexing to the city during the April 28 special election. About 2,800 ballots were returned, a 46 percent voter turnout.

City Manager Ben Yazici presented two possible dates for annexation, July 31 or Dec. 31, during a presentation for the council at its Monday committee of the whole meeting. While both are possible, SEE KLAHANIE, 7

Sammamish City Council Competing for a seat on the council names next city manager Primary runoff will not be

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Following an executive session Tuesday, the Sammamish City Council unanimously named Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard as the next city manager, replacing Ben Yazici in 2016.

Howard will start March 1, 2016, pending contract negotiations.

“I’m very honored,” Howard said in an email.

“Sammamish is a special place with involved citizens, a strong city council and dedicated staff.

I strongly believe in LYMAN the community and HOWARD look forward to investing more time and effort to assist in building a firm legacy for current and future citizens.”

Howard was named deputy city manager in 2011 after joining the city as its finance director about a decade ago.

Yazici, who has been city manager for 14 years, an-

nounced his retirement at the April 7 council meeting and recommended Howard as his replacement at the April 21 meeting; the council voted April 21 to conduct an internal search.

Yazici recommended Howard because of his strong finance background.

Yazici pointed out the importance of having a city manager who has a firm grasp on the city’s contracts.

Sammamish partners with various groups to provide residents with services; for example, the city contracts with the King County Sheriff ’s Office to provide Sammamish with its police force.

“We are a unique city for how we deal with services,” Yazici said. “(Howard) understands the contract model of management.”

necessary for Sammamish City Council election

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

No candidate will run unopposed in this year’s Sammamish City Council election. The filing session concluded at 4:30 p.m. May 15.

Tom Hornish and Arul Menezes filed against incumbent Mayor Tom Vance, position No. 6, but Menezes withdrew to support Hornish. Parks Commission Chair Hank Klein will run against incumbent Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo, position No. 4.

TOM HORNISH Incumbent councilmember Nancy Whitten, position No. 2, said earlier this month that she will not seek re-election. Sammamish resident Christie Malchow and former Sammamish councilmember Mark Cross will run for the open seat.

Hornish is the president of the Sammamish Home Owners Inc., a residential group that recently filed suit against King County regarding the East Lake Sammamish Trail in February. He said he’s running against Vance because he aligns with Valderrama-Aramayo on issues like the trail or the initiative and referendum rights citizens showed they wanted in the April 28 special election.

While the trail initially peaked his interest in the government process, it is not why he’s running, Hornish said.

“I always felt I wanted to be in public office,” he said. “I want to ensure citizens have a voice and open communication.”

Hornish has a chemical engineering and law degree from Ohio State University. Between degrees he spent 22 years in the Air Force and served in the Persian Gulf War. He moved to Sammamish two years ago with his wife and two children.

Klein, who’s been on the parks commission since 2005, has lived in Sammamish with his family since 1988. Running against Valderrama-Aramayo, Klein said he doesn’t have a specific agenda, but hopes to benefit the community as a whole.

“I think I have a more positive energy than Ramiro,” Klein said. “And that’s what we need on the council.”

Klein, who taught elementary school for more than 20 years, is currently an overload teacher of music and physical education, as well as librarian, at Challenger Elementary School in Klahanie.

“While I live in Sammamish, I also consider myself a Klahanie resident because I work there,” he said.

He was also part of the committee that encouraged Sammamish citizens to vote yes on the proposition that supported the Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center, now under construction.

The general election is Nov. 3.

by outgoing councilor Joshua Schaer, may prove to be the most hotly contested race with four challengers and no incumbent candidates. Steven Bishop, Tim Flood, Daniel Johnson and Bill Ramos are competing for the seat.

Bishop, an Issaquah Highlands resident and security and facilities manager for technology company ARRIS, is running on a budget-oriented platform and told the Reporter he wants to see city government run like a business. He pointed to the cost of the upcoming Dogwood Street Bridge replacement — funded with a more than $2.2 million federal grant and $563,600 from the city — as an example of what he said were inflated costs.

“Private industry could do that cheaper, so I don’t see why things should cost orders of magnitude more when it’s the government,” he said.

Flood is a business analyst for Rosetta Stone and a volunteer for several local organizations such as the Issaquah Citizen Corps and the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park. He is also a resident of South Lake Sammamish, which Flood said has not had representation on the council since it was annexed into the city in 2006. Flood identified the development of pedestrian pathways and increased police presence in those neighborhoods as issues important to residents of south lake neighbor-

hoods. But Flood’s most publicized campaign platforms early in the race are conservation, traffic and the slowing of development.

“You have to pace development with infrastructure improvement and I think right now we’re developing as if we have that traffic improvement already,” Flood said. “Today, the people of Issaquah are suffering through increases of traffic due to development.”

Johnson is an IT support specialist for Costco Wholesale and has said he will run a no-budget race in which he’ll accept no donations and reach out to voters face-to-face or through social media. Education advocacy is prominent in his campaign platform — he told the Reporter he’s a supporter of the recent teacher union protests for state funding of basic education — and he’s identified city infrastructure and environmentally sustainable construction as important issues in his campaign. He said he would like to see the Issaquah Senior Center developed as a means of making the city “more open and accommodated to (its) senior citizens.” If elected, he will seek a spot on the council infrastructure committee, he said.

“I see myself as the underdog in this campaign,” he said. “I am the youngest candidate with the least amount of experience. However, I genuinely want to do something more for my community, and I want to remind people at [sic] this isn’t a career position, but a duty that anyone can take part in.”

Ramos may be the most familiar candidate to the current city council and city staff, hav-

Council signs off on amended middle school plan

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Following deliberations that lasted the better part of three hours, the Issaquah City Council on Monday signed off on the master site plan for a new Issaquah Middle School.

Though the resolution and its materials weighed in at more than 230 pages, during the quasi-judicial process councilors found themselves fixated on only a handful of issues: traffic mitigation for construction and the potential for noise pollution from the nearby gun range operated by the Issaquah Sportsmen’s Club.

“I note in the … materials that were given to us that it says the Issaquah Sportsmen’s Club gunfire noise can often be heard during school hours, but the classroom wing is buffered from the noise by the band room commons wing,” Councilor Tola Marts said, leading into a question about Environmental Protection Agency noise pollution standards.

“It’s my understanding that

the range uses up to .338 lapua magnum rounds, which pack quite the wallop in terms of noise. These are rounds that can take things out from more than a kilometer away.”

City Senior Planner Amy Tarce noted that the gun range could be heard to varying degrees throughout Issaquah’s Olde Town district. She said noise mitigation with gun ranges is challenging due to the requirements for proper ventilation to deal with lead and other gaseous discharge from firearms.

The school’s application passed unanimously with an amendment requiring the applicant to take care of noise and indoor ventilation requirements in constructing the campus.

The new Issaquah Middle School is planned to reach three stories in some areas of construction, add more than 131,000 square feet of space and is designed to accommodate about 1,100 students.

ing served on the Human Services Commission for the past seven years, as well as the Economic Vitality and Planning and Policy commissions. He has been planning to run for council for about a year, he said. He is the founder of Issaquah-based transportation and public transit consulting firm The Common Good LLC and, like other candidates, he also has his eye on traffic issues in the city.

“As … seen in the results of the recent citizen survey, a big concern of citizens is traffic,” he said. “There’s infrastructure that we need to have for the growth in the city’s plans.

“I’ve got a handle on the issues to where I can help Issaquah continue to grow.”

Council Position 6 Current Council President Paul Winterstein is the only incumbent seeking re-election in the 2015 race and he’ll face two challengers in the primary: Gregg Leinweber and Christopher Reh. A third potential challenger, Jennifer Regis, withdrew soon after filing for candidacy.

Leinweber is a certified nursing assistant and home care provider for ResCare. After volunteering on Seattle City Councilor Kshama Sawant’s campaign for office and 15 Now, he wants to promote a $15 minimum wage in Issaquah.

“I want to make the middle class more prosperous and I think (a $15 minimum wage) will push our democracy up,” he said.

“I think minimum wage advancements in the past have never been bad for the economy,

Page 3

they’ve only helped it grow.”

Leinweber is also an evangelist for the application of electronic democracy, better known as e-democracy, a political philosophy that advocates for the incorporation of the Internet into democratic practices such as voting, voter education and town hall meetings. He said he would like to see Issaquah become a testing ground for e-democracy in practice and a model for state government.

“This could be a real popular idea that could cross party lines,” he said.

Chris Reh, a management consultant for Slalom Consulting, harped on the frustration of being “stuck behind a line of dump trucks as they haul away large chunks of Cougar Mountain” as he described his frustration with traffic in Issaquah. As the filing deadline approached, his choices came down to moving, whining or trying to make a difference, he said.

“The last 3 to 4 years has seen a city that has not transitioned its thinking and approach from a small town to a growing thriving city,” he said. “Growth is being driven externally, and not managed. We see it in horrible traffic and ill conceived developments. That is not what I want for Issaquah.

“I believe that great cities do not occur by accident, they are the result of hard work, leaders with a vision and attention to detail on the execution of that vision.”

The primary election will take place Aug. 4.

Jubilation on the lacrosse field

BY SHAUN SCOTT

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

For the second year in a row the Issaquah girls lacrosse team reigned supreme in the most pressurepacked matchup of the season.

Issaquah’s squad, which is comprised of athletes from Skyline High School, Issaquah High School, Liberty High School and Forest Ridge, defeated Bainbridge 11-8 to win its second consecutive Washington Lacrosse Girls state championship on May 15 at Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish.

Issaquah finished the 2015 season with an overall record of 16-0. The lacrosse program has won its past 28 games in a row. Issaquah head coach Penny Moss was overcome with emotion following a clutch performance against a talented Bainbridge roster.

“I’m in shock. I know my girls are good but they’re incredible,” Moss said of the win. “They work so well as a team. They know what to do all the time. They know how to pull it all together. I’m so impressed.”

Sophomore Hannah Meier led Issaquah’s offense, scoring all three of her goals in the first half of play.

Meg Corscadden, Suzy Emerson and Nicole Victory added two goals apiece. Haley Johnson and Kameron Ramirez each scored a goal as well for Issaquah. Issaquah started off the game strong, building a 8-5 lead at halftime. Bainbridge closed Issaquah’s lead to two goals three separate times in the second half but

couldn’t get any closer. Issaquah sophomore goalie Katie Earll registered eight of her 11 saves in the second half, stalling Bainbridge’s comeback bid.

“That was absolutely the game of her life,” Moss said of Earll’s performance. “She saved the game for sure.

She absolutely, to me, is the MVP (of the game).”

Earll acknowledged she felt the pressure of the game, especially in the second half as the minutes and seconds trickled off the clock.

“There was definitely some pressure. As a team we pulled together, we just held them at a certain point in the second half. That’s what we needed to do to stop the momentum,” Earll said.

With a three-goal lead in place as the final seconds of play withered away, Earll admitted she began her championship celebration a tad early on her side of the field of play.

“I actually started running out of the goal a little bit early. It was amazing. It took me back to last year (state championship in 2014) too. It was awesome,” Earll said.

The second state title meant more to Earll than the 2014 state title because of the challenges her team faced.

“I feel like this year is better because it shows who we are as a team since we lost of bunch of seniors last year. We came back and won it all again,” she said.

Poised pitcher leads Skyline Crusaders clinch state berth

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Skyline Spartans senior left-handed pitcher Sam Lawrence performed admirably in a loss against the Newport Knights in late April.

Lawrence surrendered just four hits and three runs in six innings of work in Skyline’s 6-2 loss to the Knights on April 24 in Sammamish.

“This was just one bump in the road,” Lawrence said after the game. “They’re a good team. We have a couple of tough opponents in Redmond and Issaquah ahead of us that we’re looking forward to playing. It will be a good way for us to bounce back and finish off the regular season. “We’ve had some close games where things didn’t go our way. We just keep battling.”

The Spartans, who finished the regular season with an 11-10 overall record, have risen to the occasion in postseason action. The Spartans defeated the Issaquah Eagles, Redmond Mustangs and Woodinville Falcons in the Class 4A KingCo tournament, clinching a berth in the Class 4A state tournament.

The Spartans will face Snohomish in the first round of the state tourney at 10 a.m. on May 23 at Everett Memorial Stadium in Everett.

Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Lawrence a few questions about his life away from the baseball diamond.

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

SL: The biggest pet peeve for me is when things don’t go as planned. That is probably the biggest thing for me. I like things to go as planned.

It wasn’t the Class 3A Metro League championship but the Eastside Catholic Crusaders will take it.

The Crusaders rebounded from a 5-1 loss to O’Dea in the Metro semifinals with a 4-2 win against the Garfield Bulldogs on May 14 in Seattle, clinching a berth in the Class 3A state baseball tournament. The Crusaders set the tone scoring three runs in the first inning of play. Eastside Catholic ace Billy Dimlow went the distance, allowing just three hits and two runs in seven innings of work. He improved his overall record as a starter to 9-0 with the win. Crusaders’ head coach Kyle Larsen was pleased with the way his ace performed with a state berth on the line.

“Billy did his usual thing. He pitched another complete game. He really cruised until he got to the seventh. He got into some trouble and gave up two runs but he got out of it,” Larsen said.

“He didn’t give up any big hits.”

Alec Baer went 1-for-3 with 3 RBI and Addison Hull went 2-for-3 in the win for the Crusaders.

Larsen said his team was downtrodden following the loss to O’Dea but got

back on track against Garfield.

“I could tell the guys were a disappointed we didn’t get to play in the Metro title game. I had to remind them last night about what they have all accomplished this year,” Larsen said. “I think once they got over the emotions of the tough loss to O’Dea then we were just fine. We get a chance to go play for a state championship.

We’re pretty excited about it.”

The Crusaders (20-3) will compete in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs at 1 p.m. on May 23 in Yelm.

The Crusaders will have had eight days off between their win against Garfield until they take the field for the first pitch of the state tournament.

“We will get a little bit of time off and it will give the guys a chance to kind of chill out, get our minds right, get focused and ready to go out and compete,” Larsen said in a phone interview on May 15. “We are in a pretty tough pod (bracket). Everybody we see from here on out is good. We got to be able to go out and battle. If you don’t do that you are going to get beat at this point of the season for sure.”

The Crusaders have won 11 of their past 12 games on the baseball diamond. Eastside Catholic’s only losses this season were to O’Dea (twice) and the Skyline Spartans in the season opener.

Making it legal

T

he way Washington pays for public schools is illegal.

But there’s no simple fix, and school leaders worry that state lawmakers are considering potential remedies that might not be better and, in some cases, could be worse.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers must meet a deadline to figure it out or face the wrath of the state Supreme Court.

Back in 2012, the court ruled in the McCleary case that the state is in violation of the constitution for not amply funding the public school system. It gave them until the 2017-18 school year to set things right.

Last year, justices found lawmakers in contempt for not producing a plan to meet the deadline. They delayed sanctions to give lawmakers another year to write one.

Legislators are on track to provide the additional money required by McCleary to cover such things as materials, supplies, operating costs, buses and all-day kindergarten.

Now comes the hard part. They must unravel 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

To the editor Mayor allows another breach of protocol In the May 18 Committee of the Whole meeting, Mayor Vance allowed a yet another breach of meeting protocol that should not be duplicated.

Mark Cross, who should be well versed on procedure himself, having been Mayor at one time, asked to make a comment pertaining to the Klahanie annexation timeline well outside of public comment. Mayor Vance obliged Mr. Cross’ request, and allowed him to inject his commentary. Earlier in the same meeting, another citizen requested to make a comment, and was denied by Mayor Vance. Not only is this unprecedented break in meeting procedure unsettling, but is illuminating on what appears to be cronyism.

I would ask our Mayor to strictly follow procedure, respecting that it exists for order and fairness. Should candidates for Council feel they’d like to weigh in on subject matter in the future, there is a public comment period during meetings for which that can be done. Mid-stream in a meeting is not the time or place.

trict that has collectively bargained this typically assigns a weighting of state test scores below 1 percent of the overall evaluation process. That means out of 100 possible points, only 1 (or often less than 1) of those 100 evaluation points would be based on state test scores. This is a very minor but solidly valid compromise to maintain flexibility and control of $40 million dollars that our students count on.

Home care workers deserve retirement

I provide care for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Last year, home care workers negotiated a contract that provided a modest retirement contribution so that home care workers would be able to save for retirement. But Senate Republicans are supporting a budget that says, “You can never retire!” by refusing the fund this retirement contribution.

This is wrong, and any budget agreement has to fund the retirement plan that was agreed to. For home care workers, who receive poverty-level wages and are often elderly themselves, this agreement is the only way to save for our own retirement.

Home care workers like me are holding up our end of the bargain, but the Legislature is threatening to go back on the state’s word. We negotiated our contract in good faith and reached a historic detail with the state without arbitration. Now it’s time for Olympia to live up to honor its agreement and help hard-working home care workers retire with dignity.

the ideal date is a matter of how quickly the city can implement promised services to some 11,000 additional residents.

Yazici said the July 31 deadline could be a disaster, as it would likely result in costly solutions to compensate for the lack of available resources at the earlier date and it would strain existing equipment and an already busy city staff.

“What I don’t want to see happen, in the process of delivering services … sooner for our Klahanie residents, (is) we drop the level of service for our citizens here,” Yazici said. “That is my biggest concern if we rush this thing, because something is going to fall apart.”

Annexing too soon might also give a bad first impression of city membership, he said.

Though the council did not vote Monday, and they all expressed their desire to include city residents in the conversation as soon as possible, the majority favored the December date.

“Most of the residents (in the Klahanie annexation area) will be fine either way,” said Kristen O’Malley, head of Klahanie Choice. “It’s really important that when Sammamish comes on board that they do bring those services they promised during the campaign.”

If effective July 31: · The city will see an estimated $3 million in revenue by the end of 2015. · It is unlikely Sammamish would have the six additional officers it promised the area.

Sammamish Police were searching for a white male, in his 40s, who robbed the Pine Lake Bank of America Wednesday at 11 a.m., according to King County spokesman Sgt. Stanley Seo. Surrounding schools, including Pine Lake Middle School, were in lockdown for about an hour Wednesday afternoon.

Police used a K9 unit to track the suspect, who was last seen running east away from the bank, according to the department’s Twitter post.

As of press, Wednesday afternoon, the suspect was still on the loose.

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.

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

Superior performance and all-day ability.

Friday, May 22, 2015

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.”

Jerry Cornfield is the political reporter for the Everett Herald.

Beaver Lake Advisory Board seeks volunteers The Beaver Lake Management District Advisory Board seeks three volunteers for vacant seats.

The board examines projects and programs that affect Beaver Lake and determines which proposals are most benefiicial to the current conditions and overarching goals of the lake’s management district.

Applications are being accepted alongside required letters of intent and resumes. Inquire for applications by contacting Melonie Anderson, manderson@sammamish.us. Anderson will also accept completed applications.

legislature that they should be funding schools,” Instructional Technology Specialist Joshua Moore said. “The McCleary decision made it clear they need to figure it out and make it happen. The point of this is to let them know we’re watching them and they need to make it happen.”

Teachers were also concerned about funding for smaller class sizes as mandated by Initiative 1351, passed in November.

Ellen Hayes, a Spanish teacher at Issaquah High who said she teaches a class of 34, came to the district from Washington, D.C., where unions were able to demand smaller class

sizes. She said she was surprised education wasn’t a higher priority in Washington state.

“It’s been a lesson in local government,” Hayes said. “I thought (funding for education) was such a slam dunk. It’s been disappointing to find out that’s not the case.”

The state legislature entered special session in late April after failing to come to agreement on issues including a state budget or a legislative response to the Supreme Court’s 2012 McCleary decision, which found the legislature was failing to fund public education as required under the state constitution.

The legislature was on its 21st day of special session Tuesday. Special sessions are required to last no longer than 30 days.

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.

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.

We Race because at the current rate, 13 million breast cancer deaths around the world will occur in the next 25 years.

When you participate and fundraise for the Race, we fight these statistics together. In 1980, the 5-year relative survival rate for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer (cancer confined to the breast) was about 74 percent.

Today, that number is 99 percent! Komen has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer - transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. This progress was made with your continued support and together we can reach our vision of a world without breast cancer.

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!”

RACE FOR THE CURE • 5

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 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).

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

DID YOU KNOW?

Thinking about tutoring?

There’s a longer-lasting alternative.

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.

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

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.

My name is Lynda Weatherby and I’m a breast cancer survivor. Until a couple years ago, I thought I was an early detection success story – but as it turns out, I was wrong. Instead, I’m among the many women whose breast cancer has recurred and metastasized.

More than a decade ago, when I was in my 30s, I had early stage breast cancer; it was detected and treated early. Then came an awful day in May 2013, when I learned the cancer had fooled and foiled everyone. Twelve years later, it was back.

Right after Mother’s Day, I began radiation treatments to halt tumors that threatened my spinal cord. The most intense treatments involved Gamma Knife surgery to wipe out tiny tumors at the base of my brain and a larger, truly wicked tumor that had formed on my main facial nerve.

Yes, the tiny cancer I had a dozen years ago with a minuscule chance of recurrence, came back into my life, this time as metastatic stage 4 disease. I couldn’t bear to say those awful words to anyone for nearly a year, and it’s still hard. I will likely be in some form of treatment for the rest of my life, taking meds, getting scans every few months, and balancing my fears with hope for a cure.

There are far too many women living in these circumstances. Last year the first report from the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance – of which the Susan G. Komen organization is a founding member – estimated the lifetime risk of recurrence at up to 30 percent for all breast cancers.

Breast cancer typically metastasizes to any of four

places in the body. I’m blessed that mine had spread only to my bones and my brain, and that we have treatments available to deal with both. Treatable – but not yet curable.

Susan G. Komen is funding research into new treatments for metastatic disease, so I am hopeful. But a 30 percent risk of recurrence? Those are sobering statistics for all breast cancer survivors. We need answers to how metastases happen. THEN we’ll be getting somewhere, and we’ll be able to save more lives.

In the 32 years since its founding, Komen has invested nearly $850 million in research, more than any other nonprofit and second only to the U.S. government. It’s research that has helped push breast cancer death rates down by 34 percent since 1990, and helped improve survivability.

Early detection and mammography programs save lives and must continue, but also, a world without breast cancer means curing the disease, and research is how we get there.

I hope everyone reading this will consider joining the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, either as a participant or volunteer. In doing so, you’ll not only be funding help for women in need right here

A Step in the Right Direction Join QFC and the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure as we raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Ensuring that all women have access to breast cancer early detection and quality treatment support is the ultimate goal, and QFC is committed to seeing this happen.

Understanding the facts about the disease and knowing the warning signs can help protect you and your loved ones. Here are some useful tips: • Talk to your family and learn about your family health history • Complete monthly breast self-exams • Be alert to any changes in your body • Notify your doctor immediately if you notice any changes or have any concerns • Have yearly check-ups and mammograms, as recommended • Spread the word by talking and sharing with mothers, sisters, family and friends.

Love and knowledge are powerful weapons in this battle.

QFC is proud to be the Local Presenting Sponsor of this year’s Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure. We will see you at Seattle Center on June 7th!
