budgets fail to adequately fund schools under the guidelines set by Initiative 1351. The law, which was passed in November 2014, was meant to provide additional funding to lower class sizes for all grade levels, increase staffing, supplies and professional wages and benefits. Lowering class sizes and increasing staff have long been a concern for Washington state,

The Bellevue City Council passed the title of a Northtowne park from a sullied historic figure to a former councilmember and neighborhood advocate on Monday. The council decided in March to change Bovee Park, named for the city’s first mayor, Charles Bovee, after being contacted by Kasia Wilk a month earlier. Wilk claimed to be a victim of Bovee’s, the first mayor forced out of town over allegations of child molestation in 1959. Georgia Zumdieck served on the city council from 1992 until the time of her death in 1998, and was one of two public figures from Bellevue’s past recommended by the parks board to replace Bovee last week. Zumdieck was a strong advocate for her Northtowne community, and favored highly in an online survey conducted by the city. Parks board vice president Dallas Evans told the council Monday the board also noted a lack of public spaces named after female figures. “You won’t find hardly anything with any woman’s name on it of significance,” he said. “I can’t think of anything in this city named after a woman leader,” Mayor Claudia Balducci later added.

Around 800 educators, parents and students filled Bellevue sidewalks Wednesday, protesting the state Legislature’s stalled budget to fund smaller class sizes and increased school staff. “I grew up in a family of educators, so I know that the work teachers do is important, and it is better done in small class sizes,” said Kelly Bach, who protested

With the 2014-2015 school year quickly coming to a close and the state Legislature running out of time on a 30-day special session, neither the House nor the Senate have finalized a state budget. Caught in the struggle is increased funding for state schools. Educators statewide say both the proposed House and Senate

Newport Heights student takes three medals at Special Olympics BY CORRIN PONTE SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

A Newport Heights student is heading to the state Special Olympics state tournament on May 29, with help from his classmates. Sebastian Sagun is a member of Amy Stern’s 5th grade class at Newport Heights Elementary. He is also a student in the school’s life skills program, which serves students with special needs. Earlier this year, the life skills staff at the school formed a Special Olympics team, and Sagun decided he was going to compete. Upon hearing that their classmate would be participating in Special Olympics, Ms. Stern’s class formulated a plan to help coach him. They came up with ways to help Sebastian train for his three events: the softball throw, 100-meter dash, and 200-meter dash. Twice a week, Ms. Stern’s class, including Sebastian, went outside for training sessions. Students used their own knowledge of sports to assist. Students measured distances and marked them off, kept and recorded time during practices. Students ran with Sebastian to help him keep his pace and stay in a lane, while encouraging him along the way. After Stern emailed parents to let them know about the training program and the upcoming Special Olympics event, other teachers, para-educators, and staff at Newport Heights Elementary, Sherwood Elementary, Highlands Middle School and Interlake High School pitched in to help prepare the

Former BHS staffer SUV crashes into Bellevue apartment unharmed on other pleads not guilty to Baby side; driver not cited misconduct charge BY BRANDON MACZ

BELLEVUE REPORTER

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A former Bellevue High School staffer accused of inappropriately touching a 16-year-old student at his Medina home back in January pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree sexual misconduct with a minor. Leonard R. Wolfork, 24, is alleged to have invited a 16-year-old BHS student to his Medina home and given him alcohol. The student reported waking up around 3 a.m. Jan. 6 to Wolfork fondling him through his pants. The student shared the allegations with a teacher in a class writing assignment, according to charging documents. A Medina Police report states Wolfork denied the allegations, but there have been multiple discrepancies in his statements to law enforcement since the investigation started; he allegedly later admitted to providing the 16-year-old with alcohol. The report identifies other incidences of questionable contact with students and possible school policy violations, such as writing notes to students to get out of class without a legitimate excuse. Another student reported to police Wolfork sent him a Snapchat video of himself urinating in early February. Wolfork had been the educational assistant in charge of parking at BHS. He is also a 2009 graduate of the school, and former Wolverines lineman. He is set for a case setting hearing June 9 at the King County Courthouse.

Bellevue Police say a baby is fine after a car crashed into its nursery and partially collapsed the 9-monthold’s crib. Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said a 34-year-old Bellevue woman was receiving driving lessons from her husband around 11 a.m., when she accelerated into a carport at the Hampton Greens Apartments. The Toyota Rav 4 knocked down a beam from the carport before it jumped the curb, rolling down a small embankment and through a wall into the baby’s nursery. The car partially collapsed the crib. “It really was pretty miraculous that there was no injury,” Tyler said. “The baby was kind of resting on top of the debris.” The infant’s parents had him checked out by responding Bellevue firefighters. The entire wall of the bedroom came down in the crash, Tyler said, causing thousands of dollars in damages. The driver did have insurance, so settling the damages will be between her insurer, the apartment

landlord and tenants, who sustained personal damages. Tyler said the driver will not be cited for the accident, but a report will be filed and applied to her driving record. “In the past, when we’ve had cars into buildings and no injuries, we have not issued citations,” he said, adding the department was maintaining that practice with this accident.

which ranks in the bottom 10 percent for class size in the country. The legislation currently being proposed would only address K-3 class sizes. “At my school, we’re nearing 29 kids to a class. I’m a special education teacher, and I know that my students would benefit from smaller class sizes,” said Catherine Kelly of Newport Heights Elementary. Bellevue educators are additionally concerned about pay increases and cost of living adjustments. Salaries for Bellevue teachers are still below 2008 levels, according to Bellevue Education Association representatives, and there have been no cost of living adjustments or health insurance increases in the last six years. “In the Eastside and King County, it’s important for us to provide competitive benefits and salaries. It’s about being able to attract people into the profession. We hear anecdotally of many teachers who are leaving the profession to do something more lucrative,” said BEA President Mark Morrow. Educators protesting Wednesday also expressed concerns for statewide school standards. “It’s about changing education across the state,” said teacher and Bellevue Education

and Mercer Island school districts walked out of classes to protest the lack of progress in Olympia. In all, 60 school districts statewide are scheduled to protest by June 3. The Bellevue Education Association decided instead to protest on Wednesday, which was a pre-existing half-day intended for professional development. The Bel-

levue School District released a statement Wednesday supporting the teachers’ decision not to disrupt student learning, and stating the district echoes the educators’ concerns. “I’m thankful that teachers taught and came out to protest today. The teachers are getting their message across and did it in a respectful way. It really taught my kids a lesson,” said Bach.

A farewell celebration for old Enatai school Elementary coming down this summer for new facility BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Enatai Elementary is filled with more than 60 years of history, and it’s all coming down this summer to make way for a bigger and better facility. First, the district and community members want to give the old school a proper sendoff. The elementary school was constructed in 1953 for $485,000, receiving minor renovations in 1999. The school was necessary to take on the growing number of families crossing from Seattle to live in Bellevue after tolls were removed on Interstate 90 in 1949, said Sharon Pang, who is organizing Enatai Elementary’s farewell celebration next month. “As fast as they built (schools), they were

filling up,” said Pang, whose oldest son attended Enatai. She now has a kindergartner attending the school. “Enatai is one of those that was built very fast.” The student population is growing again — in step with the city — and the Bellevue School District plans to level the old school in July to construct a new two-story, 93,849-square-foot school in its place. The $30-million project is funded by the district’s Capital Construction bond, passed in February 2014. Pang said she wanted to do something to commemorate Enatai Elementary and give former educators, students and others connected to the school a chance to walk its halls one more time and share memories. “Before we tear it down, let’s give it a good farewell and represent its history,” Pang said. “Anybody who’s ever been touched by the school should come.” Pang has spent weeks searching archives to find historical photos and information

She said a Ms. Nelson, who taught at Enatai in 1955, will also attend the event, along with one of her former students. The school’s parent, teacher and student association is sponsoring the event. “I think Enatai is kind of known as a neighborhood where people come back to it,” Pang said.

Honor veterans

his Memorial Day, there will be honor guards crisply 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, picnics and our busy lives that we can take a moment to remember those that served in the military who gave their precious lives for our nation, for our way of life and for our freedom. Whether it was a century ago, or just last week, their sacrifice renews itself every single day as we —who probably never knew them— go about our day, as we work, play, raise our families and build our communities. For the men and women that fell in World War I or II, in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East or anywhere else – be they strangers, relatives or old friends, they are all our family. On Memorial Day, we remember those that gave their all for our nation. But every other day of the year, let us also not forget to honor and thank the military men and women that served at home and abroad in the past, and especially those that serve today.

Their sacrifice renews itself in our lives every single day

To the editor Avoid food poisoning on Memorial Day What ever happened to the good old days when the worst things we had to fear on Memorial Day were traffic jams and indigestion? This year, it’s all about food poisoning by the nasty E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria bugs lurking in hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets at millions of backyard barbecues. The U.S. Meat and Poultry Hotline’s advice is to grill meat and chicken products longer and hotter. They fail to caution that hightemperature grilling forms lots of cancer-causing compounds. Do we really need to choose between food poisoning and cancer? Luckily, enterprising food manufacturers and processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety of healthful, delicious, convenient plant-based veggie burgers, veggie dogs and soy nuggets. These wholesome foods don’t harbor nasty bugs or cancer-causing compounds. They don’t even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs or pesticides. And, they are right there, in the frozen food section of our supermarket. This Memorial Day, let’s stay safe on the roads and safe at the family barbecue.

nity. 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.

Home Care workers deserve retirement

I’m proud to be a home care worker in Washington State, which means I provide care for some of the most vulnerable members of our commu-

viction of Dzhokar Tsarnaev reminded me of the pain I felt when I first heard of the Boston Marathon Bombing. It pained me to see the loss of the innocent lives of my fellow American brothers and sisters. It further pained me because the bombing is against the very essence

of Islam while the word Islam literally translates to ‘peace.’ The Holy Quran clearly states, “…Whosever killing of one innocent is like that of the killing of all of mankind…” I wonder how Dzhokhar and other terrorists acting in the name of Islam could possibly justify their actions using Islam when such verses clearly condemn violence.

The Low Income Housing Institute has filled more than half of its 57 units at the newly constructed August Wilson Place in downtown Bellevue, using a lottery to handle the demand for affordable apartment units in the city. Construction on the affordable housing building started last January and was completed in late March. LIHI began filling units in mid-April, having received more than 300 applications. “We had a lottery and did that, and we have just been signing leases, basically as many as we can do in a week,” said Brad Reuling, LIHI construction project manager. “We’ve kind of got the list full, if you will, however, people do drop off.” LIHI Executive Director Sharon Lee said the nonprofit names its buildings after people who were strong advocates for social and racial justice. Playwright August Wilson, who lived in Seattle from 1990 and worked with the Seattle Repertory Theater Company until the time of his death in 2005, was picked for the Bellevue apartment building. “He was just a fabulous artist, who wrote about the black experience in America,” Lee said, adding members of Wilson’s family will be present during an open house for August Wilson Place 10

Bellevue home and business owners will soon be facing penalties from police responding to false alarm activations in the city, under a new program that also comes with an annual fee for

approached the council last March with a proposal to correct an issue of faulty residential and commercial burglary alarm systems, by imposing fines to incentivize better maintenance of equipment and fewer tripped alarms. The city council on May 4 approved a four-year contract with

false alarm revenue of $75,000 this year, and $70,000 in 2016, estimated to go down due to alarm owners taking corrective actions. Because the program can’t be implemented until the last quarter of the year, 2015 revenue will fall short of its budget projection. The city will receive 71 percent of the first $75,000 in revenue from fines, alarm registrations and renewals in the first and second years of the program, and 81

percent after that. The remaining percentage goes to PSC for management of the program, using its proprietary CryWolf software. PSC is based in Waldorf, Md. Bellevue Deputy Police Chief Mike Johnson stated last March about 98 percent of burglary alarms were either caused by faulty electronics or being set off accidentally. The city reports an annual average of 3,300 false alarms and 3,871 occurring in 2014.

Longtime fugitive receives 12-year prison sentence State Farm refunds overpaid Robinett attempted to ram WSP vehicle in Bellevue in 2009 BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A longtime fugitive from justice who was finally taken into custody after five years on the lam was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Monday. Bradley S. Robinett, 46,

became an escaped fugitive when he failed to report to a Seattle halfway house, following his release from prison in 2009. Bainbridge Police attempted to stop Robinett while driving a stolen vehicle a month later, but the fugitive abandoned the

encountered Robinett at a Bellevue park and ride in November 2009, where he allegedly attempted to ram a trooper’s vehicle. Robinett was finally arrested last June in Hillsboro, Ore., when police identified a stolen vehicle parked at a local Fred Meyer store he had been driving, according to the release. On top of Robinett’s 12year sentence on Monday, U.S. District Judge James L. Robart also placed the felon on three years of supervised probation and ordered he pay $12,886 in restitution.

The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner fined State Farm Insurance $54,000 for overcharging its customers, after the company discovered its error last June. The commissioner’s office stated in a news release State Farm had been overcharging younger drivers — more than 1,000 Washington policy holders — who qualified for lower rates for more than eight years before noticing the error. State Farm refunded the premiums, plus 8 percent annual interest, totaling more than $120,000.

A domestic disturbance call at a Hilltop home Sunday afternoon had Bellevue Police searching the rest of the day for a man believed to have been wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a machete. Bellevue Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said officers responded to a call on the 5900 block of 152nd Avenue Southeast around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, where a family had been having an argument with their 25-year-old son. The man reportedly left before police arrived. “When we arrived, family advised it’s possible he may have been carrying a machete and may have had a bulletproof vest on,” Tyler said. A K-9 unit and King County’s Guardian One chopper responded to the wooded area around Coal Creek Parkway to assist with the search Sunday, but could not find the man who is still being sought by Bellevue detectives. Tyler said the suspect is believed to have left the area and is not being considered a threat to the public. “This was a subject known to the family. It was a family disturbance,” Tyler said, adding the suspect’s family didn’t sustain any serious injuries. “It wasn’t any kind of random act.”

There is already a park bench named after Zumdieck, but councilmembers agreed her contributions to the neighborhood were deserving of greater recognition. The parks board also recommended historic Northtowne resident Roland “Rody” Burrows, who was born in 1907 and lived in a cabin on what is now 112th Avenue Northeast. His grandfather was a Bellevue pioneer, and donated land to the city for its first school. The council agreed there were already landmarks in the city recognizing the Burrows family, including Burrows Cabin and Burrows Landing. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said renaming Bovee Park after Burrows would cause geographical confusion, as Burrows Landing is near Chism Beach.

A local man who aided police in two mail theft arrests was among three citizens honored alongside officers at a Bellevue Police award ceremony held at city hall on May 13. According to a police spokesperson, Patrick Hill installed an alarm on his mailbox last year after becoming the victim of mail theft. Since then, on Nov. 29 and Dec. 23, Hill called the police in response to alarms, enabling officers to arrest two separate suspects with large amounts of stolen mail in their cars. In the latter incident, the car being driven by the suspect was found to be stolen. Police awarded Hill with a Citizen Law Enforcement Merit award. That award was also given to Bruce Oberg and Marianna Lalayev, both of whom administered CPR to unconscious bystanders until police or Bellevue Fire Department personnel could arrive on scene.

Plan ahead for closures along I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass It’s time to start planning ahead for trips over Snoqualmie Pass on Interstate 90. A number of road improvement projects will cause delays for drivers this spring and through summer as the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) improves sections of roadway from the summit of Snoqualmie Pass to Vantage at the Columbia River. WSDOT and contractor crews have already begun work on a number of projects that will add lanes, build and paint bridges, repair cracked sections of pavement, install fencing and plant vegetation for roadside restoration. Several locations east of the Pass will have single-lane closures and rolling slow-

downs, which will add to travel time. “It’s going to be another busy summer of construction on I-90,” said Don Whitehouse, WSDOT regional administrator. “Drivers will need to add extra time to their east-west trips.” Crews will resume work on a $551 million project that builds a wider, safer and more reliable stretch of I-90 from Hyak to Keechelus Dam. In June, crews along the five-mile-long project will resume blasting along the rock slopes east of Snoqualmie Pass. Drivers need to plan for hour-long closures, Mondays through Thursdays, starting an hour before sunset. Also in June, crews will be repaving deteriorating concrete near Easton from mileposts 67 to 70 and near Cle Elum from mileposts 84 to 87, and break ground on the next two miles of the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East project by building new lanes, bridges and the first wildlife overcrossing in the I-90 corridor. Drivers can find information on multiple websites, including the What’s Happening on I-90, Snoqualmie Mountain Pass and Traffic Alerts pages. Drivers can also follow the action on Twitter @snoqualmiepass and @wsdot_east, or sign up for email updates.

Vikings capture district title on soccer pitch BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Photo courtesy of Dave Westburg

The Bellevue Christian boys soccer team celebrates after defeating the Klahowya Eagles 1-0 in the Class 1A West Central District III championship game on May 14 at Orting High School.

When it was all over, a sizable number of players made a beeline for Bellevue Christian Vikings goalie David Postma for a celebration of epic proportions. Postma, who corralled a multitude of saves in the district title game against the Klahowya Eagles, made a difficult save in the last five minutes of regulation, diving to the ground on the lower left side to deflect a Klahowya shot on goal. The Vikings were able to fend off the frantic Eagles’ rally and held on for a 1-0 win in the Class 1A West Central District III championship game on May 14 in Orting. The Vikings clinched a berth at the Class 1A state soccer tournament with the victory. Bellevue Christian team captain Bennett Close broke a scoreless 0-0 tie in the 70th minute with a shot from 30 yards out, giving his team a 1-0 lead they didn’t relinquish for the remainder of the game. Bellevue Christian head coach Dave Westburg said Close’s shot past Klahowya goalie Kasey Trask was a thing of beauty. “He hit right over the top of the best goalie we have seen all year,” Westburg said. “Bennett is an MVP player and that was an MVP goal. He put the team on his back and said we’re going to win this.” Close credited the Vikings’ stingy defense — led by Dylan Parsons (defender), Ricky

Hatate (defender) and Postma — for the victory. “I think our back four did great. Dylan and Ricky were just awesome in the center of the field. They are so physical and solid back there. Dylan was outrunning their forwards all game long. That really helped us,” Close said. Parsons said the Vikings were prepared for Klahowya’s “kick and run” style of offense. “What Ricky (Hatate) and I tried to do in the back was stagger ourselves,” Parsons said. “One of us would pressure the ball high and the other one would play the through ball. We were able to stop everything right there. It was all about trying to stay aggressive, put pressure on them and let them make mistakes that we could capitalize on.” The Vikings are looking forward to the Class 1A state tournament. In 2014, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. “We’ve been pumped about this (state tournament) since our season ended last year,” Parsons said. “The team camaraderie is amazing. We are all super tight. We know nothing is going to be given to us. We’re going to work hard and see what we can do.” The Bellevue Christian team motto, “1-130” is still completely intact. “We got the ‘1’ for first in league, we got the ‘1’ for winning districts. Now we are gunning for May 30,” Westburg said. May 30 is the day the Class 1A state soccer championship game will be played.

Bellevue Christian goalie David Postma has surrendered just four goals in 15 games this season. The Vikings have put together an overall record of 14-0-1. BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

With everything on the line, Bellevue Christian Vikings goalie David Postma came through in the clutch against the Klahowya Eagles in the Class 1A District III championship game. Postma made a plethora of saves through the duration of the game, including a diving deflection to the lower left side after Klahowya uncorked a shot on goal from five yards out with five minutes left in regulation, preserving Bellevue Christian’s 1-0 win against Klahowya in a winner-tostate game on May 14 in Orting. “We scored with 10 minutes to go. I knew those last 10 minutes were going to be the longest minutes of the game, that is for sure,” Postma said. “We had the lead and they were going to come after it. We just kept doing what we were doing

and that is what paid off for us.” Postma has allowed a mere four goals in 15 games this season. Bellevue Christian defender Dylan Parsons said Postma’s instincts between the posts are off the charts. “DP (David Postma) is the man. He just knows where the ball is 10 minutes before it’s even kicked. He is like a robot,” Parsons said. “His magic glove just extends and he will stop anything that comes his way. It’s definitely comforting for our team seeing David Postma back there.” Close concurred with Parsons’ sentiment. “David is a great goalie. He gets down to the ground so fast and just gets his hands on everything,” Close said. Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Postma a few questions about his life away from the soccer field.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time? David Postma: I’m going to go with three. I love “Rudy,” “Miracle” and “Hoosiers.” BR: What is your dream vacation spot? DP: I like Alaska. The scenery is really nice out there. BR: Who is your pick to win the NBA Finals? DP: Since we have nobody to root for, I just like watching good players. I like watching Golden State and Cleveland, for sure, but I don’t want to sound like a bandwagon fan. BR: How many text messages do you send per day? DP: I’m not really sure the number, but maybe between 10 to 15.

LIFEPLANNING SEMINARS FOR TAXABLE ESTATES For estates with a networth of $2 million +

Please join us for these vital seminars and get answers to the critical questions about the new changes in the tax laws and their impact on your taxable estates: • In 2013, the state legislature effectively made estate tax planning with a QTIP Trust obsolete. How does this affect your estate plan? • Radio star Casey Kasem publicly and tragically discovered that having resources does NOT guarantee your needs will be met as you age. How can you avoid the same situation? • In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that your IRA is not a protected asset in the hands of your heirs. How does the change effect your estate plan? • 70% of estates lose money due to family feuds! How can you guarantee that your heirs don’t fight over your estate? • How do changes to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2013 affect your tax planning? • How can you create “Divorce-Proof” and “Creditor-Proof” inheritance for loved ones ? • If you’re a widow or widower entering into a second marriage or relationship, how do you protect your estate?

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 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).

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

A WORLD WITHOUT BREAST CANCER MEANS CURING THE DISEASE 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

RACE FOR THE CURE • 7

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 in our community, but you’ll show everyone you want to help Komen learn how to stop advanced breast cancer as much as I do. Lynda Weatherby lives in Issaquah with her family.

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!
