Proposition 1 going down to defeat BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

King County voters were rejecting Proposition 1 by a 55-to-45 percent margin, according to

results released Tuesday night by King County Elections. The no votes were 220,887 against, to 162,508 in favor. The measure would have charged $60 per year for vehicle

Man gets 25 years for raping 7-year-old girl at Goodwill Store BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Michael Lee Phillips was sentenced on April 11 to spend 25 years in prison for having dragged a 7-year-old girl from the sales floor of an Auburn Goodwill store in August 2011 and raping her in the store’s bathroom. That is the mandatory minimum for first-degree rape under the predatory sentencing enhancement. But before Phillips, 47, starts serving that sentence, he must first spend 10 years in federal prison for having and distributing child pornography, a rap that was already hanging over his head before he raped the child. “He must now go serve his time on the federal conviction first before starting this sentence,” said King County Prosecutor’s Spokesman Ian Goodhew.

A King County jury on March 21 convicted Phillips of first-degree rape of a child. The King County Prosecutor’s Office charged the Auburn man with the crime after investigators tied his DNA to semen and saliva found on the girl’s clothing and body following a sexual assault Aug. 23, 2011 in the men’s room of the Auburn Goodwill store, In March 2012, a federal judge ordered Phillips to submit a DNA sample as a condition of his release, and authorities entered it into a federal database as part of his federal plea agreement. According to court documents, the girl, her father and her younger sister had gone to the Goodwill store in Auburn that day to look for clothing. Her father let her stay in the toy section, while he and her [ more RAPE page 7 ]

USG of Auburn donates $25,000 to American Red Cross mudslide relief effort REPORTER STAFF

USG Corporation made a $25,000 donation last week to the American Red Cross’ ongoing mudslide relief effort. Tim Miller, USG plant manager, presented the gift on behalf of USG at the company’s facility in Auburn. Steven Greimann, chief development officer of the American Red Cross of Western Washington, was there to receive the contribution. The donation will help the Oso community recover from the March 22 massive mudslide that engulfed a rural neighbor-

hood, killing 41 people. Two persons remain missing. Mayor Nancy Backus joined USG officials at the April 16 ceremony. “I’m so proud to be the mayor of a town with businesses such as USG that show this kind of heart for their customers, their community and for each other,” Backus said. Justin Knop, Auburn plant service foreman, was among the USG employees at the ceremony. “You can’t help but to applaud the efforts of the American Red Cross and USG Foundation in providing those devastated by the mud slide in Oso, as well as those affected by other tragic disasters, with the help they desperately need,” Knop said. “It makes me proud to be a part of USG.” Curtis Larking, Auburn plant cornerbead production foreman, added: “We, as a plant and company, care deeply about not only our employees and families, but also our communities.”

county and cities within the county. Had it been approved, the proposition would have generated about $130 million annually, with 60 percent going to Metro and 40 percent to the county and cities for road and other transportation projects. Auburn would have received $1.7 million per year from the measure for street repairs, according to city officials. The amount distributed to each city was based on population. The County Council formed a Transportation Benefit District in early February to send the measure to voters. County officials were trying to avoid Metro service cuts of 17 percent because of a lack of revenue, most of which, they claimed, was the result of a drop in sales tax revenue. The Transportation

to go down to defeat, Osborne continued, echoing one of King County’s principal arguments in support of the measure, cash-strapped Metro would have to cut its budget by 15 percent over time. What puzzled Osborne was the timing of the City’s resolution. “I think it’s important that we are doing it at this time, but I would like to have seen it done earlier,” Osborne said. Osborne went on to vote for the resolution. Claude DaCorsi was the only councilmember to vote no. Although he acknowledged some of the benefits of Prop 1, his main concern was its potential economic effect on low-income people. “Poor folks already have a difficult time coming up with money annually for vehicle registration,” DaCorsi said.

Benefit District is similar in structure to the King County Ferry District and King County Flood Control District, with the members of the County Council acting as the board. The board has the authority to acquire, construct, improve, provide and fund transportation improvements identified in the transportation plan of the Puget Sound Regional Council, the county or a city within the county. The Auburn City Council on Monday evening threw its support behind Prop. 1. But City of Auburn Resolution 5058 did not pass without a raised eyebrow and one vote against. Councilman Wayne Osborne said it was important to support a measure that had promised to add $1.7 million yearly to Auburn’s transportation budget. And if Prop 1 were

All four are members of Washington State Task Force 1, a FEMA Urban Search and Rescue team based in the Puget Sound region. The foursome travelled to Darrington on March 25, just three days after the slide, which, to date, is known to have killed 41 people. Two people remain missing. Team members sifted debris, combing areas identified by dog teams as a “possible rescue or recovery of victims” area. Personnel worked closely with community members, local volunteers and other emergency response personnel, who provided support for the heavy equipment operators, sawyers and loggers helping with rescue and recovery efforts. – Reporter staff

How to get a message across amid a disaster That venerable adage, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it,” came to mind Tuesday as President Barack Obama departed the Oso firehouse. Not because the communicator-in-chief had just provided three cringe-worthy moments with his tortured pronunciation of the town’s name. Rather it was Obama’s subtle acknowledgement that the emergency response to the deadly mudslide did not get carried out in letter perfect fashion. Families and neighbors of the deceased and missing encountered frustrations with first responders during those first days after the earth moved. “Some terrific lessons were learned in the midst of very hard times during this process, because almost uniquely, we had not just coordination between state, local and federal officials, but also coordination between volunteers and those officials,” Obama said to the crowd at the firehouse. “And I know that it required some improvisation and some kinks getting worked out, but it was important for the family members themselves and the community themselves to be hands-on and participate in this process — particularly a community like this one where folks are hearty and know how to do things, and take great pride in being selfreliant. “It was important that they weren’t just bystanders in this process, they were involved every step of the way,” he said. Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, might feel validated by his words. She made much the same point a month ago. But the freshman lawmaker, among those who met with the president Tuesday, expressed it far less diplomatically, and perhaps too soon, to be effective. Only four days had passed before she unloaded about a lack of common sense in aspects of the rescue and recovery efforts. She spoke of how residents embraced Darrington [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Rumbling, swift trucks pose safety problem I attend my grandson’s baseball games at the ballpark on 41st Street behind Albertsons on the back side of Mt. Baker Middle School. Since the season has started, not a person or player attending those games has not witnessed those big tandem gravel trucks rumbling down 41st at very excessive speeds. The school buses parked on the shoulder of the road are no deterrent to the driver setting speed records going by. It is very obvious that a vehicle this size requires a huge distance to stop, akin to an ocean liner coming into port.

That included the profitable gas station on the corner, another business the City didn’t need.

Until federal officials intensify their efforts to find and prosecute fraud – and until judges impose tougher sentences on these criminals – we can expect more of the same.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ PROTHERO from page 1 ] Prothero, who had waged a two-year battle with lung cancer, was 57. Prothero is best known as one of the lead defense attorneys in the high-profile case against Ridgway between 2001 and 2003. As co-counsel, Prothero brokered a plea deal that spared Ridgway the death penalty in exchange for the Auburn man confessing to 49 counts of aggravated murder. News of Prothero’s death jolted co-workers at his Kent law firm. “It’s a shock,” said Greg Girard, longtime friend, colleague and partner at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC. “It’s devastating, frankly.” Prothero had more than 30 years of experience in criminal defense. He was on the Washington Supreme Court’s panel of attorneys qualified to defend individuals faced with the death penalty. He defended men and women, adults and juveniles, accused of state and federal crimes, felonies and misdemeanors. Widely recognized for his expertise on scientific evidence, forensic DNA, mental state defenses and the death penalty, Prothero was an in-demand lecturer at legal education seminars. Attorneys who worked closely with Prothero described him as the ultimate professional – caring, focused, smart, unflappable. “He had a wonderfully generous spirit. It pervaded all aspects of his life – the way he practiced law, particularly in the way he treated his clients, who, let’s face

The girl later told police, according to court documents, that she had been in the toy section looking for clothes for her Barbie dolls when a man grabbed her hand tightly, said, “You shouldn’t be alone here,” took her into the men’s room and kept her there. The man then forced sex acts on her, according to court records. The girl later described her assailant as a younger white man wearing white Nike tennis shoes, blue jeans and a short-sleeved, white-and-blue-striped shirt. She recalled that the Auburn First United Methodist Church’s

it, were always in trouble,” Gruenhagen said. “He was always able to find positive, redeeming qualities in just about every human being he ever met.” Prothero excelled in a tough, sometimes emotionally-charged profession, maintaining a steady approach even to the most complex trials. “He was a very good trial lawyer who also was excellent at negotiating cases for his clients,” Girard said. “He understood the theme, the essence of the case and building a strength of the case as a defense. “A defense attorney can be a tough job.

You’re dealing with people with serious issues on a case. “His ability to balance his life with those stresses was something he was very good at,” Girard said. “And he often dealt with it with humor. He had a humorous slant on things, even in difficult times.” Prothero was a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Washington Defender Association, and the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, serving on its board of governors from 2003 to 2009. He was a judge pro tem in King County Superior Court and in Kent, Tukwila, Des Moines, and SeaTac municipal courts. In 2006, “Presumed Innocent” magazine named Prothero and his partner, Girard, Trial Lawyers of the Year. Prothero was also named a criminal defense “SuperLawyer” by Washington Law & Politics magazine in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The honor recognizes the top 25 criminal defense practitioners in the state, as voted on by other Washington attorneys. Prothero began his career in criminal defense in 1983, working as a public defender for the Associated Counsel for the Accused (ACA). He started off defending people in municipal and district courts accused of such crimes as DUI, shoplifting and domestic violence. He moved on to defend juveniles. In 1987, he joined the felony unit. While at ACA, Prothero

At the time, Phillips was living in Bothell.

participated in many pro bono projects. “I hold him in the highest regard. He was a terrific lawyer, a terrific mentor to younger attorneys while he worked here,” said Don Madsen, ACA director, who worked with Prothero for 25 years. “He gave back to the community. He cared about the clients he represented.” In his first murder trial, Prothero worked on Madsen’s team. “He was a hard worker,” Madsen said. “He had a sense of perspective that was a great help to him in trying to figure out what was the best thing for his clients and to represent them to the fullest.” In 2010, Gov. Chris Gregoire appointed Prothero to a position on the Washington State Forensic Investigation Council, which oversees the state’s crime labs. He was the first criminal defense lawyer appointed to the FIC. Prothero was deeply committed to community involvement. He served on several Kent School District committees and on the board of directors for the Kent Parks Foundation. He volunteered at local high schools and colleges, where he spoke about criminal law and law as a career. In 2003, Prothero co-founded the organization, Kent Citizens for Water Safety, in a successful effort to keep the Kent-Meridian pool open. In 2007 and 2008, he chaired the Citizens for Kent Recreation and Aquatics Future, which worked to have a new aquatic and recreation facility

built in Kent. Prothero also was a successful swimmer in the 1970s. He was a record-setting swimmer at Renton High School. He was captain of the University of Washington swim team in 1977 and 1978 and represented the United States in international competitions in Rosario (Argentina), Amsterdam and Paris. He served on the board of directors of the Husky Swimming Foundation and on the Pacific Northwest Swimming Board of Review. Prothero was the successful swim coach at Kentwood High School from 1997 through 2007, earning State Coach of the Year honors in 2003. Prothero is survived by his wife, Kelly, and two grown children. Sean, a legal assistant, is the swim coach at Kennedy High School. Marley, a standout high school and collegiate swimmer and one-time assistant coach at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is the coach of the Kent Swim & Tennis Club. Prothero also is survived by his mother, Shirley Prothero, and brother, Blake Emery. A celebration of Prothero’s life is Saturday, May 10 at the Kentwood High School Commons, 25800 164th Ave. SE, Covington. The open house is from 1 to 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be sent to either the Kent Parks Foundation (www.kentparksfoundation.org) or The Husky Swimming Foundation (www.huskyswimmingfoundation.com).

Plans call for widening of the much-used thoroughfare – the main access road from state Route 167 to the Lakeland Hills subdivision, and a vital arterial that provides truck access to industrial and trucking businesses in Pacific and Sumner – from the SR 167 interchange to Valentine Avenue. There will be two driving lanes in each direction, and a two-way, middle turn lane. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks will be installed, signals upgraded and new water main and sewer pipe laid. At its inception in 1996, the project was to be part of the planned, four-phase, Lake Tapps Parkway-Stewart Road corridor. “Pierce County started this process,” Barnett said. “It was to handle all the traffic, especially the planned development of Lakeland Hills. That was when that was really getting started.”

Initially, with Pierce County as the lead agency, the larger project called for the replacement of the White River bridge and the construction of the Lake Tapps Parkway. Although the Parkway was completed, the rest of the project languished for lack of funding. In 1999, Pacific took over part of the project. “We finalized all of our annexation of that portion of Pierce County,” Barnett said. “Pierce County was going out for money, and it was easier for the City to go out for grants than it was for the county. At that point, it was a combined deal.” At the time, Barnett said, some preliminary design work had been completed, but, with Auburn, Pacific, Sumner and Pierce County all chipping in financially, the scope of the project was then much larger. “Originally, it was going to go under the railroad

[ PROJECT from page 1 ] assisted living, memory care and other services – in Southeast King County, according to Wesley Hill officials. “It really is us wanting to say, ‘This Lea Hill health center is a health center for all of South King County,’” said Scott Hulet, administrator of the Wesley Homes Lea Hill campus. The proposed 30,000-square-foot, 1½-floor care center addition is to feature a 36-private-room-and-bathroom design – offering privacy and dignity – that is Medicare/Medicaid certified and affordable, campaign officials said. So far, the campaign has raised $1.1 million of its targeted goal and needs additional philanthropic support from nearby communities such as Kent and Covington, officials said. Donations have come largely from individuals, but many businesses and organizations have greatly contributed, too. By securing 30 percent of the capital expenses from private and public sources, Wesley Homes can leverage otherwise absent dollars to finance the project, officials said.

tracks and end at the Sumner city line,” Barnett said. “But when we got the funding, we didn’t have enough money to get to the tracks, so we’re basically stopping at Valentine. “Originally, the funding was primarily coming from the state and the county, with just a small portion from the City,” Barnett said. “Now it’s all state, TIB (state Transportation Improvement Board) money and public works trust fund money, which is basically a loan. The TIB money is a grant. And there is a small portion from Pierce County.” In addition to delays incurred while the parties hashed out their financial obligations, the project took a recent hit when Pacific’s former-mayor Cy Sun tried to make himself its overseer. “The other hold up was just problems in negotiating. He (Sun)] didn’t understand the process; it all had to be

To learn more about capital campaign, visit www.wesleyhomes. org/foundation Tentative plans are to break ground late this summer, beginning a ninemonth construction period that culminates with a 2015 opening. That timeline, however, is contingent on raising the remaining funds, campaign officials said. As members of the Lea Hill Campaign Advisory Board concede, it’s a challenging sales pitch. The campus may be in Auburn, but the new health center would serve seniors throughout the area. “Most of the beds will be used by people from the surrounding communities,” said Sue Singer, co-chair of the campaign advisory board. “I’m a community person. It’s not about the people who live here but for the rest of us.”

explained. And that took time. He tried to take control of the project and Valentine. I thought for sure I was going to get fired because I kept butting heads with him. It cost us extra money and time because of what he wanted the engineers to do.” Barnett said Pacific will collect bids on the project for at least six weeks, to let any contractors interested in taking on the Stewart Road and Valentine Avenue projects at the same time submit their bids. “We’re trying to tie it in with the Valentine project, so we’re keeping it out a little longer than normal, but six weeks is the minimum,” he said. The City of Sumner is the administrator of the $8 million Valentine project, which has been designed to increase the two-lane road to one lane in each direction with a middle turn lane. It should go out to bid in the next couple of weeks.

Board members project that at least 80 percent of those using the new health and rehab center will be from the surrounding communities, not just Lea Hill campus residents, said J. David Snow, Wesley Homes Foundation director of campaigns. Snow said the project provides a “revolutionizing aspect”, that is, offering easy access to an on-site, multiservice health center. The purpose of the expansion is to become an exemplary, affordable center, fit for the regional senior community. “Wesley Homes is very committed to the Puget Sound area,” Snow said. “We are governed by a board of trustees, who are volunteers who meet monthly. These are people who come from key leadership roles in business, government, church and community life. We’re not building something to sell it to a multi-national firm, we’re building because there is the need. “We’re committed to this community, committed to staying here and committed to being a part of it.”

FOR THE REPORTER

State Sen. Joe Fain (RAuburn, 47th District) received the Bill Kyle Memorial Award for his elected service at the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce’s fifth annual Recognition of Service dinner on April 16 at the Muckleshoot Casino. “Sen. Fain has been a strong advocate for the Auburn-area business community,” said Nancy Wyatt, chamber president and CEO. “We are happy to bestow this award on such a well-deserving legislator.” According to Wyatt, the award recognizes the efforts, commitments and achievements of an outstanding elected official who has thoughtfully included the employer community when making decisions that affect Auburn’s livelihood, communities and citizens.

Before passing away in 2009, Bill Kyle lived in Auburn with his wife, Dolores, where he owned an insurance business and was heavily involved in the community. Kyle volunteered with the Auburn Food Bank, Auburn Rotary, South King County United Way and the Association of Washington Business, among other organizations. “It’s so fitting that this award is given in memory of Bill Kyle,” Fain said during the event. “While some might think of a chamber of commerce as a business association fixated on profits and the bottom line, Bill knew and lived his belief that businesses have a responsibility to build stronger communities. “The individuals and businesses in the Auburn Area Chamber demonstrate that commitment to all families in our community,” Fain said, “and I am honored to be included on the list with the deserving past recipients of this award.”

Previous award recipients include: Auburn City Councilmember Bill Peloza; former Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis; former Auburn Deputy Mayor Sue Singer; former Auburn City Councilmember Lynn Norman; and state Rep. Pat Sullivan (D-Covington). Dolores Kyle and her

granddaughter, Cristina Orsini, were on hand and personally presented the award to Fain along with chamber of commerce board chairman Byron Hiller.

Outlook on life may influence longevity, study finds

found that participants who considered themselves the happiest could reduce their mortality risk by an astounding 35 percent compared to their least happy counterparts. Five years into the study, the differences in terms of health status and mortality rates already showed. The happier people were overall healthier and aged better, even when taking other factors into account like gender, education, marital status and financial situation. What was methodically different in these two studies compared to others on the subject is that the researchers asked participants to rate their happiness level several times on one particular day, instead of having them answer general questions about their usual state of mind. By focusing on concrete situations and events and by observing specific responses, the researchers say they were able to discern attitudinal differences much better than they would have

including in terms of health and longevity. The least we can take away from these findings is that people should take their moods more seriously, said Dr. Laura Kubzansky, a professor for social and behavioral sciences at Harvard University. “I think people sort of undervalue emotional life anyway. This highlights the idea that if you are going through a period where you’re constantly distressed, it’s probably worth paying attention to how you feel – it matters for both psychological and physical health,” she said.

been by conducting surveys on a wider range of issues and relying on recollections of participants over longer periods of time. While it remains undetermined whether positive emotions play a key role for longevity or are just one factor among others, there seem to be clear indications that how people feel about their lives at any given moment can have a significant impact. Of course, what constitutes happiness is not easily defined. Some may say that people who seem outwardly grumpy or melancholic may not necessarily be devoid of pleasure or satisfaction. It could be just a matter of individual personality or how they behave socially. How emotions are expressed can also depend on cultural particularities. One study from Austria found that more than momentarily occurring feelings, a deeper and lasting sense of contentment and gratitude that comes with growing maturity may produce the greatest benefits,

The study also found that the happier people were not necessarily younger, richer, or even free from illness. The influence of their state of mind on their aging process persisted independently of these other factors, although financial security did play a role, but only to a certain extent, according to Dr. Andrew Steptoe, director of the Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care in the Faculty of Population Health Sciences, and British Heart Foundation professor for psychology in London, England, and author of the study. These latest findings confirm those of another study he published in 2011. Back then, researchers Timi Gustafson

of 60. Those who reported having fun, doing things that gave them pleasure, maintaining an active social life, etc. were found to develop fewer impairments and showed slower declines compared to those who were less upbeat. In fact, differences in attitude seemed to produce remarkable results. People with a lower sense of wellbeing were three times as likely to end up with health problems as they got older than those whose outlook remained positive.

HEALTHY CHOICES

That staying physically and mentally fit is important for healthy aging is old news. But how our attitudes can also influence how long we live is not as well understood. Now, a new study from England concluded that being happy, enjoying life, or at least having a sense of contentment may play a much larger role in the way we age than previously thought. For the study, researchers from the University College London monitored physical and mental functions and also the emotional states of 3,200 male and female participants, all over the age

It’s a simple yet effective recipe. First, you take your potters, your craftspeople, your teachers and others, then you mix them together really good with people throughout the community who cotton to the idea of making handcrafted bowls for a good cause. Then, you invite your guests to a simple meal of bread and soup in these same bowls. Soup, organizers say, that is bound to warm the stomach – and the soul. In exchange for a $15 cash donation, you ask your guests to keep a bowl, a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Then you donate all the money you’ve raised to a local organization working to end hunger and food insecurity. In Auburn, that organization is The Auburn Food Bank. For four years now, local artists, businesses and restaurants have made the Empty Bowls fundraiser part of Auburn’s spring landscape. This year’s shindig starts at 11 a.m. and ends 2 p.m. Friday, May 2, at Grace Community Church, 1320 Auburn Way S.

Tyler Fox nearly perfect on the hill Lions fall 9-8 in

Safeco showcase against Puyallup

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

In high school baseball, it’s the pinnacle of pitching, the apex of excellence. The perfect game. No hits, no walks, no base runners. Three up, three down. Twenty-one batters faced, 21 retired. For Auburn’s Tyler Fox – Seattle Christian’s right-handed freshman ace – that rare accomplishment was in sight when the Warriors hosted Chimacum on April 15. In fact, the feat was just one pitch away for Fox, who carried a perfect game into the final inning with two outs before giving up a single to right field on a full count. “The first pitch was a ball, but it was questionable,” Fox said of the at-bat. “The second was definitely a strike, but called a ball. He fouled off the next pitch, then it was a ball. I got a strike and then he hit a blooper into right on a 3-2 count.” Although Fox got the next runner out, ending the game with a 1-0 victory for Seattle Christian, he admits he was a little disappointed. “There was nothing I could do about it,” he said. “But it

Auburn’s Flannery captures Palestine Half Marathon Auburn’s Marissa Flannery, a Northwest University (Kirkland) student studying abroad in Jerusalem, was the first woman to recently finish the Palestine Half Marathon. Flannery, a Middle East studies program student and junior cross country runner at NU, finished ahead of more than 150 female runners in the April 11 race through the streets of Bethlehem, Palestinian Territories. Flannery’s time of 1 hour, 42:14 minutes for the 13.1-mile course was more than a minute ahead of her closest competitor. The race was only the second of its kind and was offered as part of a global initiative called Right to Movement, which promotes the health of Palestinian women, and guarantees women’s right to participate.

A total of 3,200 runners from 39 countries participated in the 10-K, halfmarathon and marathon. “It was great being out there with other girls who are willing to work hard,” Flannery said. “They don’t care if they’re going to get first, second, third or last, but they’re going to go out there and achieve something. It’s women showing that we are going to work hard to make that change and push ourselves and do whatever it takes to achieve equality.” Flannery was able to participate in the groundbreaking race during her semester studying the contemporary religion, culture and politics of the Middle East on the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities’ Middle East Studies Program (MESP). Throughout the semester, MESP students become immersed with the people and places of Israel and Palestine. They study the

Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a nonpartisan perspective, live with local families during a weeklong home-stay, journey to historical sites like Galilee, and participate in various service projects. Flannery viewed this race as another opportunity to engage with the local community. “A lot of the people that surrounded you were locals – the majority of the people handing you water, cheering you on, the policemen – were all locals and having them cheer you on and all join together over one cause … it felt like I belonged

there,” she said. The race, offered in the final weeks of Flannery’s semester, is one of the many MESP activities that bring students closer to the people and cultures of the Middle East. “I’ve learned that things are not always just black and white. Everyone is going to experience everything differently,” Flannery said of her experience. “You have to encounter people on a one-on-one basis. You can’t just initially count one as right or wrong. You have to go to that person and understand their experiences and understand what they feel and believe what they say they feel.”

It’s been a long road back for jockey Felipe Valdez. But after more than three long years of rehabilitation, the 35-year-old Mexico City native is back where the doctors said he’d never be again: the Winner’s Circle. Despite long odds and a lengthy recovery process from a devastating back injury, Valdez earned his first victory since November 26, 2010, when Strawberry Dawn romped in a $18,900 feature race at Emerald Downs on April 13. As an encore, Valdez and the three-yearold filly were all alone in the stretch, drawing off to win the feature race by a widening 8½ lengths. “Well, it was all business coming down the lane,” Valdez said. “I wanted to make sure I won the race first, but after the wire, I was a little emotional. It’s been a long road.” Only days following his previous November victory, Valdez sustained two fractured vertebrae during a nasty spill at Hollywood Park. Unable to walk and barely able to move, Valdez’ riding future appeared bleak. He never wavered from his resolve to return to the saddle, regardless of what the doctors said. Reduced to using crutches and

canes for support, Valdez gradually gained momentum in his comeback. After a successful surgery last October to fuse vertebrae, Valdez disposed of his cane in January and there was no stopping his forward thrust. As part of his physical therapy, Valdez spent six to eight hours in the gym everyday to train his body back to his days riding at Hastings Racecourse, where he was a top-10 rider for several years. Already motivated, Valdez said those closest to him pushed him. “Even when the first doctor told me that I might never walk again, I still had riding on my mind,” Valdez said. “My family and friends gave me the support I needed to keep working hard. They were my strength.” Today, Valdez hopes to use Emerald Downs as a springboard to reestablish his riding career. By his side is venerable agent Keith Drebin, who carried Valdez’ book in 2001, when Valdez captured the Portland Meadows riding title. “I had been talking to Keith throughout my rehab,” Valdez said. “He told me that when I’m ready, to make my way up to Emerald Downs, and here I am. My plan is to continue to work hard and do the best I can.”
