Kent pursues new FAA facility for downtown site Seattle among cities competing for large complex

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

City officials are making another pitch to bring a new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facility to vacant land in downtown Kent. Kent submitted an expression of interest on May 16 to the U.S. Gen-

eral Services Administration (GSA), which will oversee selection of a new site for a 300,000-square-foot facility to handle approximately 1,600 employees. The GSA plans to award a site in March 2015 and the new offices are scheduled to open in August 2017 as the FAA leaves its current SeaTac

and Renton locations that do not meet criteria for the larger facility. The new site will require about 1,200 parking spaces. “The competition will be strong but early indications are we will be competitive,” Ben Wolters, city economic and community development director, told the City Council on

May 6. “Downtown Seattle is going for it as well.” The city of Kent owns the Naden property downtown that it would use for the FAA offices. The Naden site is south of West Meeker Street and north of Willis Street. Its western [ more FAA page 5 ]

City, state clash on whether pot retail outlets violate buffer

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

State Liquor Control Board and city of Kent officials disagree about how many proposed recreational marijuana retail stores in town sit outside of the 1,000-foot state buffer requirement from schools, parks and daycare centers. Just three of the nine retail store applicants in Kent on the liquor board are outside of the 1,000-foot barrier, according to city officials. The state claims all nine are outside of it. Both the city and state say they use a geographic information system (GIS) to measure the distances. A GIS is a computer system that captures the geographic data.

mate in charge of a rapidfiring gun turret aboard the USS Idaho. The “Big Spud,” a sturdy and resilient battleship that primarily supported the fighting ashore with bombardments and antiaircraft fire, earned seven Battle Stars in its prime, he says with pride. “You heard of all the stories about the guys who were lost there. We saw this,” Hanson said from his East Hill home, where he has lived since 1968. “We were like spectators while guys were dying. “I’m not a hero,” he quickly added. “The guys who are heroes – and you will hear me say this again and again – are the guys who never came back.” Guys like “Thompson, from Iowa,” one of Hanson’s gun loaders, killed during a Japanese attack. Repeatedly put in harm’s way, the battleship sailed on to complete bombardment missions, to protect reserve convoys and precious transport areas and to provide all-important fire support for advancing Marines. Hanson and the USS Idaho sailed many seas. Among its many missions, the battleship played vital support roles in the campaigns for the Aleutian, Marshall and Gilbert islands. A few months after Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces in Tokyo Harbor, ending World War II, Hanson was among a group of sailors who visited Nagasaki on shore leave. With the exception of a few rein-

forced concrete structures still standing, they saw a city that had been reduced to rubble in a split second, the killing floor of an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 human beings. The sheer scope of devastation stunned the 22-yearold sailor. “I didn’t know what feelings to have,” Hanson said of that moment. “Still don’t.” Hanson would continue his duty overseas until early 1946, when a loading drill accident seriously injured him. Doctors told Hanson he was lucky to have survived the trauma of a severe compound skull fracture, an injury that continued to affect him for many years after the war. Today, he struggles with double vision. Medically discharged from the Navy, Hanson returned to his native Minnesota to farm. He went back to college, and in 1950, earned a degree in agriculture from the University of

North Dakota. Skilled with his hands, Hanson farmed for about 10 years, helping his parents and large family. When the farm eventually sold, he worked for a telephone company before a brother living in the Puget Sound Region persuaded him to come west and work with the airlines. He did, securing a job that lasted 20 years, loading freight and taking on other tasks at United Airlines. He and his first wife raised two sons. Today, with the help of a caretaker, Hanson lives to help others, notably the homeless, veterans and youth in his community. He is active with the VFW, various veterans organizations, his church and his extended family. He joined his three younger brothers for a reunion this month in Minnesota. He joins his other family, those he served with during the war, at frequent veterans reunions throughout the country. He participates in Auburn’s Veterans Day Parade and other events. “When I look back on it now … everything I’ve done … I am satisfied with what I’ve done with my life,” Hanson said. Today, the sailor from the past savors his connection with the sailors of the present. Hanson and 31 other veterans recently took a trip to Washington, D.C. – through the Puget Sound Honor Flight – to visit World War II memorials and other

landmarks. While there, Hanson met a young sailor. They embraced, a moment captured in a powerful photo. “After we saw the picture, we really thought it was important if we could find out who this young sailor was. We could get him a picture from Don with a note to say how much that meant to Don,” said Denise Rouleau with the Puget Sound Honor Flight, whose mission is to send surviving World War II vets in Western Washington on a trip to the nation’s capital. Through the power of social media, the young man soon was identified. “It was such an honor to be able to meet the veterans in attendance that day,” wrote the young sailor, Christian Suliguin. “As I was standing in line to greet everyone in attendance, Mr. Hanson immediately hugged me. What an incredible feeling to be able to meet a fellow shipmate. The stories and advice that everyone shared only inspired me even more to further serve our country.” Today, Hanson corresponds with Suliguin by letter. Hanson encourages youth to commit, serve and honor their country and community. His advice to today’s youth is simple, direct. “Have a goal in mind, stick to it, don’t let anybody divert you from it,” Hanson said. “You may fail, but pick it up and start again. Just keep trying … that’s what I did. “You could say, I’ve been there.”

City might form districts to pay for street/railroad grade separations Kent city officials will consider forming local improvement districts (LIDs) to help fund two major construction projects along South 212th and South 228th streets to separate street and railroad traffic. LIDs are additional property tax fees charged to property owners who would benefit from the street improvements. The LIDs

along South 212th and 228th streets would impact commercial property owners and not residential property owners. The state Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board once again has put the city on notice that it might lose previously approved grants from the board of $13.2 million for the projects along South 212th and 228th streets if the city doesn’t show it has a plan for local funding as well to help pay for construction.

The estimated costs for a grade separation along South 212th Street at the Union Pacific (UP) tracks is $27 million while the South 228th Street project at the UP tracks would cost about $25 million, said Tim LaPorte, city public works director. The city has numerous state and federal grants for the projects, but needs to raise about $16 million for 212th and $8.4 million for 228th. More state grants could reduce the LID costs. “We were asked by the freight

mobility board to give them an update and status report on where we are,” said Doug Levy, a state lobbyist hired annually by the city, at a May 6 City Council workshop. “There are a few different things we could do to show local commitment because the board really wants to know that there’s some local commitment to help fill out the funding packages.” The board has set aside a $3.25 million grant for the South 228th Street project and another $10

Councilman Thomas to run for Legislature BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent City Councilman Les Thomas wants to return to Olympia as a state representative. But he’s seeking a House seat as an independent rather than a Democrat or Republican. “I’ve been nonpartisan for 12 years,” Thomas said during a phone interview about filing for the District 33 House seat, Position 2. “When I get to Olympia I want to represent all citizens not just Democrats or Republicans.” Thomas was reelected to the City Council in 2011 for his third four-year term in the nonpartisan position. The race for the 33rd seat will loom as a showdown among council members from three South King County cities. Mia Su-Ling Gregerson, D-SeaTac, will run to retain her House seat. She also serves on the SeaTac City Council. Republican Jeanette Burrage, a Des Moines City Councilwoman and former King County Superior Court judge, also filed for the seat. The King County Council appointed Gregerson in December to the seat after Dave Upthegrove left the House to become a county councilman. Thomas, a retired gemologist who at one time owned a Kent jewelry store, said returning to the Legislature ranked pretty high on his bucket list. “One of my favorite times was when I ran before,” said Thomas, who served in the Legislature from 1994-99. “I loved it.” Any race with more than two candidates will be on the Aug. 5 primary ballot. The top two advance to the Nov. 4 general election.

FOR THE REPORTER

Eleven workers underpaid for their effort on the Auburn activities center will share nearly $43,000 in wages owed to them under a settlement between the state and the construction company involved. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), Attorney General’s Office and RJL Construction LLC reached the agreement on May 8, prior to an administrative hearing. As part of the settlement, RJL is barred from working on future public works projects. The Kent-based construction firm employed carpenters, iron workers, cement masons and power equipment operators, who were wrongly paid at the rate of general laborers. It was concluded that the

workers weren’t paid for overtime or the correct “prevailing wage,” the amount under state law the contractor is required to pay for specific work on a public project. The 11 workers named in the settlement will receive varying amounts depending on the total of unpaid wages, with one worker receiving more

than $13,000. The general contractor for the project, Christensen Inc., has agreed to pay the wages over the next 12 months. An L&I case filed in King County Superior Court will remain open until the settlement is paid. The city of Auburn has yet to formally accept the completed project.

[ BUFFER from page 1 ] The state used GIS as part of its prescreening process for the lottery in early May that showed nine qualifying locations in Kent. “We did an initial check on those locations for their proximity to exclusion zones, if an applicant was within 1,000 feet they were withdrawn from the lottery,” said Mikhail Carpenter, a liquor board spokesperson, in a Monday email. “In cases where it was too close to call by GIS our enforcement officers went out with a handheld GPS to verify.” City planner Katie Graves said based on the city’s data only Giving Tree, 8504 S. 228th St.; Heaven Bound 420 Cannabis Boutique, 1734 Central Ave. S.; and Herbal Choice Caregivers, 19011 68th Ave. S., sit outside of the 1,000-foot buffer.

S., sit within 1,000 feet of the city’s Kiwanis Tot Lot a public park/playground at 532 First Ave. S., Graves said. Three other applicants, Hazy Days, Happy Highway and Twisted Greens Corp., also used the 534 Central Ave. S. address and therefore violate the 1,000-foot buffer. Odyssey Smoke Shop, 24816 Pacific Highway S., sits within 1,000 feet of Salt Air Vista Park on the West Hill, Graves said. If the liquor board approves any of the applicants the city says violate the 1,000-foot rule, city officials will let the state know. “The city has not received official notification from the Liquor Control Board of the retail applications, but when we do get the notifications for ones within 1,000 feet of a park, we will be including sufficient maps and other GIS documentation and park information along with the city’s objection,” Graves said. The state rule reads:

The company focuses on installing high-end, USA-made products and manufacturing trailer hitches sold worldwide for electric, partial zero emissions vehicles (PZEV) and hybrid vehicles.

The city’s Land Use and Planning Board is looking at whether to allow the businesses in certain parts of town. The liquor board will issue a retail license if an applicant passes a criminal history and financial investigation even if a city has a ban. But the ban in Kent and other cities pushes those applicants to an approval later than the first retail licenses expected to be issued in July. “The first batches of

OUR TURN

“Do you feel safe in your neighborhood?”

Sherilyn Ulland

?

Question of the week:

I would like to take a moment to comment on two recent articles printed in our local newspaper. As the principal of Mill Creek Middle School, I have the honor to work with almost 1,000 wonderfully diverse students and staff every day. Mill Creek is filled with opportunities to learn, teach and grow as well as the very real challenges associated with such a large group of people coming together in a single place. But together, we do our best to work through those challenges and to take advantage of those opportunities. Our school has been featured on the front page of the last two editions of the Kent Reporter. On May 2, five of our students were featured with their designs for a school of the future. Their work won a state competition and it was nice to see some of our great students and teachers get the recognition so many Mill Creek Bulldogs deserve. The same reporter wrote a very different story for the front page in the May 9 edition where he editorialized that bullying was “unchecked,” and even repeated an angry citizen’s slur made against our student body saying the school was “full of thugs.” I am saddened to hear such negative and inflammatory reports about our students and about the folks that work very hard every day to make Mill Creek a safe and healthy place for our students. It is, and always has been, our number one goal to make sure all students feel safe and can focus on learning. As sad as I am to hear the name calling, I am sadder still to hear that someone’s Mill Creek experience would lead them to say those words. Obviously, there is some real work to be done here in our school, in our homes, and in our community. School safety is not just the job of school administrators and teachers; school safety is the responsibility of every individual, every organization, and every home in our community.

Taking matters to heart Let me be very clear – we take every report of bullying or inappropriate behavior very seriously and work with all concerned to find safe, fair and effective resolution of all reported conflicts. Because of state and federal privacy laws, I am not at liberty to discuss the specifics of every case with the public or the press, but I can say to you we are always focused on student safety, take intentional and appropriate actions when challenging events occur, and are committed to the continuous improvement of our operational systems in [ more ULLAND page 7 ]

Condo association acted unethically in calling out Cooke I was disappointed to see the Kent Reporter story used to disparage the personal character of Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke (“Kent Mayor Cooke fails to pay condo assessment fee,” May 9). The article read like a supermarket tabloid. As a former vice president of Fairwood Greens Home Owners Association, I was concerned about her condo association’s “spokeswoman” contacting the media to report the mayor’s personal financial, legal situation and the group’s plan to sue for a payment. Now, obviously, the mayor needs to pay the bill or come to an agreement of a payment of some type with her condo association and her lender. But my understanding of the state’s RCW’s on condos and homeowners associations do not allow an association to engage in malicious gossip against an owner or resident. It is one thing in the association meeting that other owners may hear certain information while in attendance, but the condo or homeowners association directors are responsible to not allow personal details about its dealings with an owner to be released to the general public.

mayor’s right to privacy and to be treated just as any other owner within the association. Instead, the “spokeswoman” has turned on an owner, in this case the mayor, herself a former president of the association. The person has gone to the media in order to personally embarrass and smear her reputation. There is simply no other way to read the article. It has been a well-known fact that Cooke’s late husband took his own life five years ago, and she had to file bankruptcy because the bills from his failed business were so high. This was not merely an attempt to collect the bill, which was 30 days late, but an act of punitive retribution. This is unethical behavior. It was explained in the article that Cooke was living with her mother, not at the condo at the time of writing. It may be that her condo is now in foreclosure due to her bank-

ruptcy of a few years ago. While I served as my HOA’s vice president and trustee, we were instructed by our association’s legal counsel to protect all owners’ privacy by not publishing the names or addresses of owners who were being fined, have liens on their property, lawsuits, tenant issues, etc., within the minutes that were made available to the homeowners and the public on our website or published in the Fairwood Flyer newspaper. Instead, this information is published in a code form to protect an owner’s privacy. This is a more ethical way to handle such a situation. – Erin Aboudara

Mayor Cooke is a positive presence in our community We heartily agree with the letter from Marianna Klon regarding Mayor Suzette Cooke (“Mayor Cooke deserves better than your attack,” Kent Reporter, May 16). At every community function we attend, she is present. Her smile and her interest in residents of all ages is genuine. Case in point – on May 4, five Boy Scout members of the same patrol in Troop 480 celebrated at their Eagle Scout Court of Honor. The recipients of the prestigious award, Nicholas Cresia, Austin Ingraham, Brian Kiehn, Neil McDonough and Logan Stoick, witnessed Mayor Cooke sincerely taking part in the ceremony.

Applicants flood city for CAO, finance director jobs BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

A nationwide search produced plenty of applicants for two high-profile city of Kent jobs. Ninety-three people applied to be the new chief administrative officer (CAO) and 52 applied for the finance director job, according to city spokeswoman Michelle Wilmot. The applications were processed by the Olympia consultant hired by the city to help fill the positions. The application deadline for both jobs was May 9. “The recruiting firm will screen the applications and let us know how many actually meet the requirements of the jobs,” said Wilmot said in an email. “We

should have that information and the proposed timeline (for filling the jobs) by the end of this month.” The City Council voted 5-1 in March to hire Karras Consulting for up to $60,000 to conduct a nationwide search for a new CAO and finance director. Mayor Suzette Cooke proposed hiring the consultant. Cooke will pick a replacement for both jobs. Under the strong mayor form of government, she does not need approval from the council for the hires. “If all goes well, and there are applicants that meet the qualifications, Suzette will start conducting interviews in June,” Wilmot said. Wilmot said it’s uncertain at this time how many applicants might be inter-

Yes, we have bullies, but you know why? Because most of those people are probably being abused at home. They may be suicidal or self-harming, and they want people to feel their pain. Bullies are just people who are insecure about themselves, so they want to make others feel the same way. Sure, Mill Creek isn’t as welcoming as some of the other schools. But as soon as you meet some of the teachers, you feel at home. Well, that’s how I feel. Yes, we have lots of fights, but that’s why we have an amazing security guard named Mr. Fuller. Not only is he strong and tough, but he’s friends with a lot of us students. He’s kind, nice, trustworthy and helpful. Some of us kids are very close to him. In my opinion, our principal

viewed for each position. “We don’t have a predetermined number of people that will be interviewed … I don’t think we know enough yet,” Wilmot said. “That number could change given the number of qualified candidates or lack thereof.” Both jobs are filled by interim hires. Tom Brubaker has served as interim CAO since John Hodgson retired in May 2013. Brubaker is one of the 93 applicants. “Yes, I submitted my application,” Brubaker said in an email. “No comment other than that. I’ll let the process take its course.” Paula Barry is the interim finance director after Bob Nachlinger retired in January. Barry said she applied for the permanent position. The salary range for a new CAO is $121,200 to $169,668 per year, according to the city of Kent 2014 pay rate list. The salary range for a finance director is $106,776 to $149,496.

picked the right teachers to hire. We have amazing teachers. We have amazing counselors. They make it a safe place for us. From my point of view, Mill Creek Middle School is not a school full of thugs. At my school, most of the kids are there for each other, and the teachers are there to support us. I don’t appreciate you guys saying that my school is full of thugs and stuff. Maybe it’s not the safest place but at least the kids who need support get it at Mill Creek. – Sasha L. Reed

Kent Police arrest Saudi man for unlawful imprisonment and have sex with her. He told her, “You better make it a magical night.” Back at the hotel, Alharbi allegedly pushed her onto a bed at a room he rented and put his hands under her shirt and down her pants. She told him to stop because she needed to take a shower. When the girl came out of the shower, Alharbi had only a towel wrapped around his waist. The teen told Alharbi she was feeling sick and needed to get some medicine. As she opened the hotel door to leave, he pressed his hand against the door and closed it. He offered to get her medicine and told her not to try to leave. When he left, she waited a few minutes, called her father and then left the room. Police found her a few minutes later. Officers found Alharbi outside in the middle of the hotel complex. He said he rented a room for a friend but denied knowing anything about a 14-year-old girl. The teen identified Alharbi as the man who rented the room and gave her a ride in a black GMC Suburban.

Kent Police arrested a 43-yearold Saudi Arabian man for investigation of unlawful imprisonment with sexual motivation in connection with a 14-year-old runaway girl he took May 11 to a Kent hotel. Prosecutors filed an unlawful imprisonment charge May 14 against Abdullah Awad Alharbi, according to charging documents. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, May 28 in King County Superior Court in Kent, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Alharbi posted $20,000 bail and was released May 13 after two days in the county jail. Alharbi carried a Royal Saudi Air Force identification card with him after police stopped him at the Hawthorne Suites, 6329 S. 212th St., according to the police report. He told officers he was in town working for Boeing and staying at the hotel, which sits across the street from Boeing’s Kent plant. The incident began at about

2:33 a.m. when a father called 911 to report that his daughter who had run away earlier in the night had called him to say she was being held against her will and a man attempted sexual activity with her. Officers arrived at the hotel and saw the girl standing outside a building. She told police she had met Alharbi at a nearby gas station and that he agreed to give her a ride to Tacoma to meet some of her friends. He purchased beer and gave her one. During the drive, Alharbi reportedly reached over and touched the girl’s breasts and said, “So much better than Indian women.” They never found the friends. The girl had tried to open the car door to get out in Tacoma, but Alharbi had locked the door. Alharbi then took her back to the Kent hotel and rented her a room. He told her on the ride back that he was going to buy condoms

After police arrested Alharbi, he refused to answer any questions and would only say diplomat and embassy. Officers searched Alharbi and found receipts that night for condoms bought in Kent and beer purchased in Tacoma. Officers notified the Saudi embassy of Alharbi’s arrest. Officers returned to the hotel on May 13 for further investigation and found the man’s wife and three children staying in a room. Police asked the wife to talk to them but she eventually handed them a cellphone that had Alharbi’s defense attorney on the other end. She told police she did not want to speak to them. Alharbi had rented the room on April 28.

Reckless driving Officers arrested a man for investigation of reckless driving after measuring him driving 81 mph in a posted 35 mph zone on May 12 in the 9400 block of South 277th Street. A motorcycle officer used a laser speed measuring device to track a Toyota pickup speeding eastbound,

Police arrested a man for thirddegree theft after he allegedly ate a meal at about 1:11 a.m. May 12 at Shari’s restaurant, 24525 Russell Road, and left without paying for it. The restaurant manager called police to report the “dine and dash,” according to the police report. The man ate a meal of eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns and had a bill of $12.99. He left his table after eating to sit at a vacant table that hadn’t been cleared. He ate the leftover food at that table and then exited the restaurant without paying. Officers found the man walking near the restaurant. He said he forgot to pay for the meal. The man had no cash or credit cards on him to pay for the meal, so police took him to the city jail.

The SUV crossed all lanes and left the roadway to the right, rolled and came to a rest on its wheel. A 27-year-old woman passenger also suffered injuries in the wreck. She was treated for injuries at Samaritan Healthcare in Moses Lake. Dumlao was airlifted to Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee and later transferred to Harborview.

CrossFit regionals host athletes from near and far The ShoWare Center hosted the CrossFit Games regional competition May 16-18. The weekend featured men’s and women’s individual and team relays and races to see who could out-jump, outsquat and out-throw whom. Events ranged from pullups and dumbbell squats to medicine ball throws and rowing, and were divided into either endurance or speed workouts. Few athletes could even finish some of the endurance workouts, which included throwing a heavy medicine ball 10 feet into the air 50 times, then doing 50 reps of ring pushups, then doing another 50 medicine ball reps. Marisa Liepman, who trains at Rainier CrossFit in Sumner, said that it helps to break the repetitions into small, manageable sets of eight to 10. “I do sets of eight, and that’s a lot more manageable than one set of 64,� she said. “This is definitely one of those endurance events that tests whether you have an engine,� said Drew Barquist, of Lynnwood CrossFit. Barquist traveled from Seattle to compete, but other athletes came from as far as Montana, Wyoming and Alaska. The regional division includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska. With so many competitors from so many areas, many athletes view the day as a chance to reconnect with friends in the CrossFit community. Regardless of whether they came for the competition or to see old friends, they pushed themselves to the limit.

Top: Men and women perform in team competitions at the CrossFit regional competition May 16-18 at the ShoWare Center. Teams raced to be the first to complete a series of exercises, including squats and pullups. Top right: Women compete to finish pullup reps during the team competitions.

what’s at stake,” Councilman Dennis Higgins said. “We’re talking about $13.2 million worth of (freight board) grants that are immediately at stake. But if those grants are rescinded that means a total of $20 million goes away because of other commitments (from the railroads and other sources). “If we do pursue this, I feel strongly to make it successful we need to engage in an educational campaign with the chamber in particular but reaching out as broadly as we can to all business interests and the community at large to make sure they understand why we are going down this road.” A group of residents overturned an attempt by the council to form a LID last year to help pay for Southeast 256th Street

improvements. The council instead used $2 million in business and occupation (B&O) taxes to help pay for the $7.1 million project. Higgins said the LIDs for the grade separation projects represent a different approach. “That (256th) was a group of citizens living in condos and along some large apartment complex owners and it didn’t take very many signatures to get that overturned,” Higgins said. “Here we’re dealing with a broader base, similarly sized landowners. We still need to reach out to them and make sure they understand the benefits they will receive from these projects.” Councilman Jim Berrios said if the council decides to go with LIDs along South 212th and 228th streets, he wants more information

about who is paying for what. “One of the things in the communication that we have to be sensitive to is that when we look at this picture of the LID boundaries, those are the folks that are paying the B&O taxes already,” Berrios said. Funds from the B&O, which brings in about $5 million per year, also could be used to help pay for the grade separation projects. LaPorte said about $2 million from the B&O would go toward the 212th project and $1 million to South 228th. If the city does get funding for the projects, it takes about two years to construct a grade separation, LaPorte said. Crews would separate vehicles from trains by moving a street either over or under the railroad tracks.

Thank You for Caring If you are reading this special breast cancer section of the Kent Reporter, you clearly care about the impact of breast cancer on our community. Thank you. More women in Washington State are diagnosed with breast cancer than any other form of cancer. Indeed, our state has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in our country. Who knows why the incidence of breast cancer is so high in our state? One theory is it might be a relative lack of vitamin D. This is why I am excited about the Komen funded study on obesity and vitamin D that was just completed by Dr. Anne McTiernan, MD, PHD Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. This research is discussed in another article in today’s paper. It is one of eight local breast cancer research studies together totaling $3.7 million dollars in Komen global medical research funding spent right here in Puget Sound. Personally, I would like to see more study into the unique factors affecting breast health in our Northwest region. Beyond the statistics, we care about breast cancer because so many of us know someone whose life has been touched by this disease. It might be a mother, a daughter, an aunt, a sister, a wife, a close friend or you. For me, the matriarch of my family, my Aunt Judy, is a breast cancer survivor. And, now that I am a part of a Komen Puget Sound family, I have become close to the many Komen staff, donors and volunteers who have either survived breast cancer or are currently battling this disease. I am inspired by their stories every day, and they reinforce within me a personal sense of urgency regarding our mission. If a woman has to decide whether to pay for her family’s meals or her breast cancer treatments, she needs our support today. With 100 women in our state diagnosed with breast cancer every week, we need find a cure for breast cancer now. When lives are at stake, there is no time to lose. If you also feel this sense of urgency, I invite you to visit komenpugetsound.org and register for the Race for the Cure on June 1. Join me and others who share your desire to make a difference. We can win the battle against breast cancer. All we need is you. Thank you,

ST. CLARE HOSPITAL PRESIDENT NAMED BOARD PRESIDENT OF KOMEN PUGET SOUND Kathy Bressler, president of St. Clare Hospital, which is part of the Franciscan Health System, has been named president of the board of directors of the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen. Bressler’s two-year term began on April 1. “Everyone who knows Kathy Bressler is inspired and energized by her spirit,” said David Richart, Komen Puget Sound executive director. “She is a model leader and brings an impressive list of professional accomplishments to the critical role of board president.” “I am honored to have this amazing opportunity to be involved in the important and life-changing work that is the mission of the Komen organization,” Bressler said. “I am passionate about finding a cure for this disease and helping women become more proactive about protecting their health.” Bressler has served as president of Franciscan Health System’s Lakewood hospital since September 2006. A registered nurse who joined the Franciscan organization about 24 years ago, she has managed emergency services, medical-surgical services, the Ambulatory Care Center and burn-treatment services at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, as well as Franciscan’s comprehensive orthopedic and gastrointestinal services. Since its founding in 1993, Komen Puget Sound has grown to become the fifth largest among 120 local Komen affiliates across the country. During this time, the affiliate has raised and invested nearly $25 million to fight breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of these funds have been invested locally towards providing the Puget Sound community with breast health education, screening and treatment support. Twenty-fife percent of the funds have gone straight to global research into improved detection and treatment of breast cancer, and to ultimately curing this disease.

Some Things You Should Know about Breast Cancer

By: Elisa Del Rosario Director of Grants, Education and Advocacy Komen Puget Sound

Society, the National Cancer Institute and Susan G. Komen all agree that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Early detection is the key to survival. The five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early, is 99 percent. When detected at the latest stage, the survival rate drops to 23 percent.

Every week, 100 Western Washington women are diagnosed with breast cancer, which continues to be the second most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in the U.S., after skin cancer. We don’t yet know the exact causes of breast cancer, and many myths about breast cancer continue to exist. But probably the best way to prevent and survive a breast cancer diagnosis is to be informed. All women are at risk for breast cancer. Although this disease is more common in women over the age of 40, younger women can and do get breast cancer as well. To reduce risk, here are some things you should know. • If you are over 40 years old, have a mammogram. The American Cancer

The Boob Blog By Linda Ball Last September I published my first book. I called it “The Boob Blog” because it started out as a blog. I started the blog to keep family and friends up to speed on my progress and what was happening to me as I dealt with breast cancer. I realized what was happening was so unreal I had to expand on it — thus the book. When you’re given a diagnosis of cancer, it’s frightening. Emotions and thoughts swell up that are hard to explain. Why me? I’m always been very healthy. I work out. I eat pretty healthy, except when I crave sweets. I used to be a body builder (30 some years ago). How could this happen?

• Know what is normal for you. See your health provider right away if you notice a lump, swelling, changes in breast size or a new pain in one spot that does not go away. • Live a healthy lifestyle. Maintain a healthy weight. Add exercise to your routine. Limit your use of alcohol. Breastfeed, if you can. And, since we live in the Northwest, current studies point to maintaining a normal level of vitamin D as helpful. Above all, the best advice I can give is to ask you to take an active role in your own breast health. And if you are over 40 years old, and have yet to be been screened for breast cancer, do it today. There is no time to lose.

It’s because cancer has its own agenda. And in the case of breast cancer, if you’re female, you are a target. Think of seven women you love dearly. One of them will get a diagnosis of breast cancer. I moved to Seattle over the Labor Day weekend of 2009 to start a new life, not really knowing anyone in this area. My diagnosis came one year and four months later. I was pretty much on my own, except when one of my friends from Alaska, my home state, or Idaho, where I moved here from, would come to help. I now realize how strong I was because I had to deal with this pretty much on my own, which I’ve come to learn, is not the norm. But I didn’t know any different. I dedicated “The Boob Blog” to survivors, current and future patients and anyone who has had their life touched by any kind of cancer. In the book I talk about how I’ve always had a pretty wicked sense of humor, and that is what kept me going. In chapter three, “Fact Finding,” I said “tomorrow is my brain scan. It will be interesting to see if there’s anything in there.” Well, there wasn’t (meaning, no tumors)! I talk about chemo. It’s hell. There’s really no other way to describe it. I did chemo first, which is called neoadjuvant therapy. You can’t think straight. You are tired all the time. And I thought, okay, at least I’ll lose some weight with cancer. NO! You gain weight because they give you steroids to counteract the side effects of the chemo, so you want to eat more, and you gain

FINDING THE SILVER LINING Jackie Jones

When I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in November, 2012, I was just 28 years old. Even though my family has a history of breast cancer, my aunt and cousin on my mother’s side, I was still shocked to be diagnosed at such a young age. My husband had left me and my boys the year before, and I was just starting to get my life back on track. I was attending community college full time. Then cancer turned my whole world upside down. I didn’t understand why I had breast cancer, but I believed there must be a reason why. I was determined to find the positive in this experience and to learn from it. I took medical leave from the community college I was attending. I had moved in with my parents after my husband had left me and the boys. It was there I found my silver lining. Breast cancer turned my whole world upside down, but it also brought my family closer together as a family. My parents moved quickly from a feeling of helplessness to providing me the loving support that sustained me through my treatments. Most importantly, they would look into the faces of my two boys, CJ (age five) and Jamison (age two), and they would tell them “momma is going to be all right.” Breast cancer taught me many life lessons, chiefly to live one day at a time and get the most out of living. I participated in the Race for the Cure last year, and I walked as a survivor. I had just completed my chemotherapy, and the walk was so exhausting. But it was also so amazing. We weren’t sad; we were celebrating – celebrating life! I met many new friends who had experienced breast cancer themselves, and they really understood my journey and all the emotions involved. I wish every cancer patient could experience the walk and the survivor’s celebration. You feel so much love and support from complete strangers. When the picture was taken with me and my boyfriend, Michael, I was filled with joy. Nothing could hold me down. That day at the Race, I felt I no longer had to battle anything I hadn’t already won. I am happy to share that last January I had a complete scan and found my cancer is now in remission. I am now back in college, and I am working towards being a registered nurse. I want to work in oncology and hopefully inspire others experiencing breast cancer, and give them the hope to fight this terrible disease. The other day, I met with someone who was diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to talk to me about it. I told her now you have to be strong, and you will surprise yourself by just how strong you can be. You have to focus on your desire to see tomorrow and find the reason for why you want to see tomorrow. For me, it was my two boys, CJ and Jamison.

weight. Great, I thought. Fat and bald. Then, for a little extra fun, when I had one of my first MRIs, a tech called to say there was a “spot” on my appendix. My oncologist told me not to worry about it. On the evening of May 25, 2011, I knew something was terribly wrong. You guessed it. Appendicitis. So, it had to come out. That set me back a little from the chemo schedule. I am very much a planner and in control of my life, so for me all of this was really hard because I was not the one in control. The disease was. Once I was back on track, I went into phase II of the chemo, which was the hard stuff. It was a combination of two drugs, adriamycin and cytoxan; adriamycin is also referred to as the red devil, and it didn’t take long to figure out why. That’s when my hair really started to go, and tired took on a whole new meaning. What made my journey unique is that I really did my best to try to keep it normal. I continued to do things I enjoyed as much as I could. I went zip-lining and kayaking after I had a uni-lateral mastectomy. And it kept me strong, physically and mentally. I don’t forget my medical team in the book at all. They were all so wonderful. My medical oncologist, Dr. Kaplan, my surgeon, Dr. Beatty, my plastic surgeon, Dr. Isik, and the oncology nurses and all the nurses were nothing short of angels. My final day of chemo was bittersweet, because I had to say goodbye to those wonderful nurses. Many women don’t bother with

reconstruction. But I felt I was still too young not to do it. I opted for a tram-flap, which was another long journey. The tram-flap is an amazing procedure, but had I known how painful it would be, I might have re-thought it. I was in rough, rough shape for a good month after the surgery. I had to have constant care for three weeks, so thankfully I had three different girlfriends come in week shifts to care for me. I am healed now, but I still have occasional twinges of pain, from nerves reconnecting I suppose. By December 2012 I moved into my very own little condo in West Seattle. I bought at the bottom of the market and I love my place. I have a view of Puget Sound, which was my priority. I love being able to sit on my deck in the summer and see the Sound and the Olympic Mountains and to walk along the shore. I participated in my first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure last June, and I will be doing it again this year. I’m also the PR chair for this year’s American Cancer Society, West Seattle, Relay for Life. The fight can’t end until cancer is eradicated forever. “The Boob Blog” is available on Amazon.com or for Kindle. It’s also available at the Issaquah Library, and at Swedish Medical Centers in Issaquah, Seattle First Hill and Edmonds in the cancer education centers. Sometimes reading someone else’s journey can help you make key decisions.

Friends share fight to beat breast cancer Women urge early detection, support of others to win the battle By Ross Coyle, Kent Reporter

W

hen Marisa Connors found a lump beneath her armpit five years ago, she was worried. When the doctor told her it was stage three breast cancer, she went through a series of emotions. Shock, disbelief, sadness, anger. Connors’ friend, Kelly Beckley, had a similar experience. She could tell by the silence during an ultrasound that the chance of her getting breast cancer was likely. “But it was still a huge shock,” Beckley recalled. “After I hung up I remember looking at my sweet husband (Dave) and he started crying. It was like, ‘Oh boy, this is real, now what?’” “And then it’s time to fight,” Connors replied. There weren’t any second thoughts for the Kent women who share the plight. Connors, 52, had a double mastectomy 10 days after her diagnosis. When she woke up, having to look at her disfigured body was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. Beckley took a similar road after discovering cancer. She had a double mastectomy within a month of the diagnosis. The women couldn’t be more different, but they’re united by this common crucible as survivors of breast cancer. Beckley, an author, has been cancer free for a year, and Connors, a business owner, just passed her five-year mark. With luck, she will be cancer free for the rest of her life. Beckley, with jet black hair, is outspoken and enthusiastic. She sits forward, festooned with skull jewelry and talks animatedly about her experiences. The platinum blonde Connors is resigned in her chair, speaks in a soft and measured tone. She is a mother of four and has nine grandchildren. Early detection is the key to surviving cancer, they say. Find it fast. After discovery and treatment, the road to recovery wasn’t easy for either of them. Beckley simply followed Connors’ examples, taking the same oncologist and processes that her friend used. It helped to have a doctor who could lighten the situation, too. Dr. Henry “Hank” Kaplan provided a friendly and optimistic bedside manner.

“He is amazing,” Connors said. “He is the hardest-working doctor I have ever seen. You get tests in the morning ... but he’s calling you at 9 o’clock at night and letting you know what happened with the tests so you can sleep at night.” Kaplan manages to be realistic and light-hearted with his patients. “Even though it’s a horrible, horrendous cancer,” Beckley added. It’s difficult to handle cancer, they say, and knowing how to be a good friend to someone suffering from the disease can be tricky. Beckley said there are different levels of openness, from her doctor and husband to her acquaintances. The most important thing a family member or friend can do is remain positive, the women said. “I had a couple of really bad days,” Beckley said, “but (my husband) remained positive and happy.” Other friends made incredible sacrifices to help out. One of Beckley’s friends flew across the country in a day to be with her so she could help Beckley while her husband was away on a trip. “I talked to her that morning on the phone, she was on my porch that evening,” Beckley said. Making the effort and just being in contact can make a world of difference to a patient, Connors said. It’s not a single instance of kindness, “it’s the constant contact,” she said. or friends outside of the patient’s immediate family, both women understand that it’s difficult to know how much is too much. They say just offer and make sure the patient knows you’re there for them. And be prepared to follow through if they do ask for help. “It’s hard to gauge how much space to give somebody,” Connors said, “It’s very difficult because you don’t know how much you want to intrude on somebody’s horrible, personal journey.” Beckley’s neighbors provided food and delivered it on the porch. They gave her lotions, magazines and candles. “They would just take it upon themselves to just do it,” Beckley said. “It’s hard to negotiate those boundaries when you’re on the outside. But for the cancer person, just do it. I don’t have time to explain it.” Asking for help, and accepting help from others, is also difficult for many

F

Kent’s Marisa Connors, top photo, and Kelly Beckley are on the road to recovery. Ross Coyle photos patients when they start their journey. “You’ve gotta start learning how to ask for help. That’s huge,” Connors said. “Allow somebody to help you. So many women are independent, and we’re so used to doing things ourselves, and getting it done the right way and doing it our way. It’s difficult to come out and say, ‘Can you please come over and clean my house’ or ‘can you come over and hang with me for half a day so I don’t have to sit here by myself?’” Even with all the support and information from doctors, the women weren’t prepared for everything they had encountered. The radiation that burned, the sickness of going through chemotherapy. That’s why both agreed that anyone going through cancer treatment needs to take their health into their own hands and find out everything: get exams when you’re 40,

instead of 45, take the threat seriously and tackle it early. The disease changes a person, as evidenced by both women’s views on life and their feelings after treatment. “I think every person in the whole world, regardless of whether they had cancer before or not, fears their mortality,” Beckley said, looking back on her road to recovery. “But when you’ve had cancer it’s always right in the back of my mind. So that motivates me to enjoy every day, every moment.” For Connors, it’s given her a new feeling that she hasn’t known in almost five years. “I’ve reached the point where I see that milestone of five years now and I feel free almost for the first time,” she said. “And I didn’t have this sense or peace of mind until I had this last scan at five years. Free. What a great word.”

Extending Hope to Cancer Patients and their Families

W

hen Anna heard the news she was pregnant, she and her husband were overjoyed. Up to this point they had devoted their lives to providing a safe, nurturing home for foster children. While they had a large family of six foster children, they welcomed the news of another child in their lives. But then, shortly afterwards, Anna also received the news that she had breast cancer. After the baby was born, Anna underwent surgery to have the cancer removed, and then she began chemotherapy. Overwhelmed by the unexpected medical expenses, she turned to her mother who put her in touch with one of Cancer Lifeline’s financial navigator’s. The navigator worked helped with the application for aid from the Komen Puget Sound Patient Assistance Fund. Support from the Komen fund helped to keep the heat on in Anna’s home as well as provide meal support for her and her family. Once Anna’s financial situation was stabilized, she was able to address her medical needs and is now doing well. Both financially and emotionally, Cancer Lifeline helped Anna move from hopelessness to the survivor she is today. Forty years ago, Cancer Lifeline began service as a 24-hour phone line designed to offer information and provide emotional support to patients and families affected by cancer. Over the years of carefully listening to the needs of cancer patients and survivors,

the organization added other programs to provide all people touched by cancer with high-quality emotional, financial, and health and wellness services. For the past nine years, Cancer Lifeline has administered the Komen Puget Sound Patient Assistance Fund (KPAF) to provide low-income breast cancer patients like Anna with financial and emotional support to help stabilize their lives and allow them to remain in treatment. The organization is Komen Puget Sound’s second largest grantee, after the Washington State Department of Health. With the ongoing economic downturn, KPAF and Cancer Lifeline’s patient financial assistance program has been particularly vital for vulnerable breast cancer patients. It is one of the few programs in the Puget Sound area that helps patients at risk of losing housing, utilities or other basic essentials due to the expense of cancer treatments, loss of employment and/or insurance needs due to illness. “Cancer Lifeline has truly been a lifeline for patients who have nowhere else to go,” says Elisa Del Rosario, Komen Puget Sound Director of Grants, Education and Advocacy. “They meet a critical need for women and families in our community, with staff and volunteers who exhibit the utmost caring for patient’s wellbeing.” In addition to addressing the health and financial needs of cancer patients, Cancer Lifeline also

provides important mental well-being programs, including classes in artistic expression. These Creative Expression workshops are open to all people living with cancer – patients, survivors, family members, friends and co-workers. Lead by trained facilitators, classes may include card making, painting, collage, fiber arts or writing. By tapping into their creative skills, participants learn to cope while navigating through their cancer experience. “Our programs are based on the needs of people living with cancer,” said Joseph Yurgevich, Cancer Lifeline program director. “We offer you choices and encourage you to take control. Most of all, we provide the environment where you have the freedom to express feelings without being judged.”

Investing in Research to Find a Cure for Breast Cancer – Worldwide and Right Here at Home By Dr. Anne McTiernan, MD, PHD. Thirty years ago, Susan G. Komen was founded on a promise to end breast cancer forever. Since then, the organization has worked towards fulfilling that promise by investing more than $790 million into breast cancer research. That makes Komen the largest non-government funder of breast cancer research in the world. Did you know that Komen is currently investing over $3.7 million of their global breast cancer research program right here into active medical studies in the Puget Sound region? One Komen grant recipient is Dr. Mary-Claire King at the University of Washington. King is working to uncover new genes that will better identify women at risk for inherited breast cancer. Other Komen grant recipients include some of my colleagues at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. For example, one Komen grantee is working to uncover a simple, noninvasive blood test that, when done in combination with a mammogram, will significantly increase accuracy in detecting breast cancer at an early stage, when it is most curable. I am working at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on an exciting Komen funded study that looks at vitamin D insufficiency and weight, two interrelated risk factors for breast cancer. We have such an epidemic of obesity and lack of exercise in our country. This is why I believe a study into these areas can have a significant impact on better understanding these risk factors for breast cancer.

Many of you may be aware that vitamin D comes from the sun and helps build better bones, but there is evidence that it might also help in prevention of breast cancer. This is particularly important for us living in the Northwest where, unfortunately, many of us are not getting enough vitamin D due to a relative lack of sunlight, and other factors like body weight. Overweight individuals are at increased risk of low vitamin D levels. That’s possibly because excess fat absorbs and holds onto vitamin D, making it unavailable to the body. Vitamin D may be helpful in reducing the risk of breast cancer in a number of ways. It could reduce production of fat tissue, which would result in lowering breast cancer risk factors related to obesity. Vitamin D by itself has also been associated with a reduction in the initiation of cancer in laboratory experiments. We have recently completed a study that enrolled 218 women who were overweight with low Vitamin D levels in a year-long, nutrition and exercise based weight loss program. Participants met regularly with a study nutritionist to learn strategies for healthy eating and weight loss, and worked closely with our exercise specialists on a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program. As a part of this study, half of these women were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of vitamin D. We found that women whose vitamin D levels rose to what is considered a healthy level lost significantly more weight and body fat, and they lost significantly

more inches around their waist. This means that women should have their blood levels of vitamin D tested by their medical provider. If their levels are too low, they should work with their provider to ensure that any vitamin D pills they take are raising their vitamin D to a healthy level. These results were recently Anne McTiernan, MD, PHD is a researcher, Public Health Sciences, published in the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. To our knowledge, there are no prior studies on the effect of vitamin D and weight on breast cancer prevention. So, this study is highly novel. If positive results follow, as we hope, this research will translate into clinical and public health practices that will provide women and physicians additional options for reducing risk for breast cancer. In the meantime, there is one thing we do know. When it comes to breast cancer, exercise and weight control are like wearing a seat belt. They reduce your risk, and might even save your life.

www.kentreporter.com [ REVIEW from page 1 ] of the effectiveness of education practices relating to students with special needs, either linguistic or behavioral. The study, which has been ongoing for slightly more than a year, addresses some of the issues that parents and teachers raised at the meeting. Two outside assessment agencies – The Urban Collaborative and the OSPI Integrated State Mentoring services – conducted the study and returned several recommendations to the board. The review included an adjustment to the way IEP reviews are completed as well as two new programs for early grades to help manage students with develop-

mental issues. The IEP adjustments were streamlined more to fall in line with different student needs based on backgrounds. According to Kendra Johnson, the district’s chief academic and innovation officer, some students qualify for IEP programs with communication disorders but don’t speak English as a primary language. “We need to rule out language needs before we determine a potential communication disorder,� she said. Restructuring the IEP guidelines would allow the district to be more accurate in identifying if a student is struggling because of a developmental issue or sim-

ply a cultural difference such as language. Following the recommendations, the board will pursue hiring additional support staff for two programs, including the Primary Link Program and Primary Behavior Learning Support programs. The programs are designed specifically for early elementary school behavior management with autism and emotional disturbances in students as a way to handle these students at an early age. “It’s a tricky area to navigate,� said district spokesman Chris Loftis, “because sometimes you don’t know how far developmentally kids are, what’s abnormal

May 23, 2014 [11] behavior in kindergarten, first or second grades.� Loftis said that the district also will move forward to hire a counselor position. Each school principal will be able to decide among a behavioral health specialist, a counselor or an ELL specialist. Loftis said the program’s announcement reflects the fact that many times the school district is aware of internal issues but can’t always say that they have concrete solutions in hand until they are ready to present them. “This is not simply in response to parents and staff concerns expressed at a board meeting two or three weeks ago. We’ve been working on this for some time. The independent reviews hap-

pened last fall,� Loftis said. When discussing sensitive information with the public, Loftis said, it’s difficult to talk in specific terms because the district and officials are bound by privacy laws. Other times, the district wants to address the public when a program is completed, Loftis said, rather than when the district is in the middle of a review process. KENTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL educator Cecilia Stec was presented with the 11th annual James H. Maynard Excellence in Education Award. The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) and Golden Corral presented the award, along with a $5,000 cash prize, to Stec, a culinary arts teacher.

K-M’s Madden seeks state berth in hurdles

KENTRIDGE’S SEWELL WINS DISTRICT GOLF TOURNAMENT Kentridge High School golfer Stephanie Sewell qualified for the WIAA Class 4A girls golf state tournament on May 28-29 at Club Green Meadows in Vancouver. She advanced to state with her medalist win at the South Puget Sound League 4A District medalist tournament last weekend at Gold Mountain Golf Course in Bremerton. he shot two rounds at 8 over par to grab the victory.

Sara Madden runs fast and jumps far, and might just represent her school in the Class 4A state championship track and field meet if she can shape up her footwork. Madden, a Kent-Meridian High School hurdler, is set up for a potential state berth if she can shave another fraction of a second off of her time. The senior sprinter’s mark of 46.30 seconds ranks as the eighth seed in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles for the district meet Friday and Saturday at French Field. Her time is the 13th fastest in state. She’s been running since sixth grade, where she ran the 600-yard run, and progressed to hurdles when she was in the seventh grade as her coach, seeing her flexibility, put her on the hurdles. “My coach saw me stretching, saw I was really flexible and just threw me in the hurdles, and I was their number one hurdler for two years,” Madden says. She’s been running almost exclusively, largely because she’s never enjoyed anything else quite as much. “I tried playing basketball in middle school but I just didn’t have the heart for it,” she said. Madden also runs the 400 relay, 100 hurdles and cross country but feels that they support what she does

Kentridge’s Sara Madden will aim for a spot in the Class 4A state track and field meet at the West Central District tournament Friday and Saturday at French Field in Kent. ROSS COYLE, Kent Reporter in the 300. She says she gets to practice sprinting from the 400, hurdle technique from the 100, and her distance running helps with her endurance. But that doesn’t mean she’s completely confident about her chances at state. In particular she knows she has to work on her approach and dexterity, a trait that high level hurdlers develop. “The best hurdlers, I find, can switch legs really easily, especially in the longer races, because you don’t want to be stuttering, ‘cause that loses time,” she says. “I’ve been switching from the start,” she says, “but it’s

a lot harder for me to get over the hurdle as quickly as I can.” It doesn’t help that in the back of her mind, Madden has the memory of a freshman year accident, which while not career ending, was painful. When she cut a hurdle too close, she fell and punctured her shin on the obstacle. “Just that little voice in the back of my head I guess,” she

says, “whenever I’m running I think about it and try to attack the hurdle, but there’s always that little voice.” While she’s learning to become a better hurdler, Madden also passes on what she learns to both her immediate teammates at Kent-Meridian and summer team at the Federal Way Track Club. “They are just like my little sisters, and while they do distance and I do

hurdles they’re still on the same track,” she says. She enjoys the feeling of being a mentor to others, whether it’s high school or club track or cross country. “I really do love coaching, when I get older — on top of a career — I really do want to coach,” she says. “Probably the high school level. I’ve always loved being a mentor to younger athletes, younger kids, I just love helping others.” While she can’t single out a coach as a major motivator in her life, Madden says her parents have been very important, especially her father Steve, who competed in javelin and pole vault in high school. “My parents really do push me, because I’m an only child,” she says. Her father is constantly telling her how close she is to beating her competition and encouraging her to push herself. Madden is set to attend Western Oregon University in the fall, although she won’t have a track scholarship yet. The school requires athletes to compete for a year and gradually ease them onto an academic scholarship as they prove their abilities.

KR makes state baseball tournament

Kentwood reaches final 8 in boys state soccer tourney BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a healthy teetertotter of perspective on the Kentwood High School boys soccer team. On one side, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach Aaron Radford, who, in his ninth year, has led his athletes to third place finishes in state twice. He never enters a game feeling confident or at ease with how his squad is playing. The other side features a group of Conks teenagers, who sprinted into the first round of the state tournament as optimistic underdogs that shocked the conference with consistent winning. And then winning some more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bradfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude is smart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; having that slice of humble pie,â&#x20AC;? said senior center midfielder Garrett Rudolph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that attitude balances out well with that attitude of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna win.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The expectations for the

2014 Conks team were limited. Stay near the top and hope for a state birth. Yet, after winning the North division with an 11-2-3 record, Kentwood capped its improbable run with the 4A West Central District title, shutting out both Gig Harbor and Skyview, 1-0, during district tournament play on May 15 and 17, respectively. The Conks beat Garfield 1-0 in the first round of the single-elimination state tournament on Tuesday. They advanced to the final eight and a game against Gig Harbor with the date and time still to be determined at the Kent Reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press deadline. The Conks failed to make the postseason in 2013, let alone prime themselves for a state run. But the veteran group, which consists of 10 seniors, has found cohesiveness to be key. Rudolph said this is the most fun team heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever played on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the best players around the

state, what will carry a team to state is chemistry; how long can you deal which each other,â&#x20AC;? Rudolph said. Radford was not so convinced early on, but has been amazed by his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive to succeed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty surprised,â&#x20AC;? Radford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought back to where we were in the beginning of Marchâ&#x20AC;Ś I was optimistic that if we could play well and be a good united team, we could make things happen.â&#x20AC;? Brandyn Bangsund led the Conquerorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense this season, notching 12 goals and six assists, while Mason Rudolph added 11 goals and dished an assist. Goalie Admir Kucalovic allowed only 12 goals in 18 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I have the best goalkeeper in the state,â&#x20AC;? Radford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I might be a little biased.â&#x20AC;? The Conks also finished with some impressive team numbers, outscoring opponents 37-12, with 11 shutouts.

REPORTER STAFF

Senior Garret Rudolph and the Kentwood boys soccer team won the SPSL 4A North division crown and advanced to the Class 4A state tournament. ERIC MANDEL, Reporter But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always pretty. After flying to a 9-0-2 start, the group lost backto-back matches against the divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams, Tahoma and Thomas Jefferson, and then tied Mount Rainier. It forced the squad into must-win games to close out the regular season. Then came district play against a strong Gig Harbor group and a Skyview team that Radford believed to be the best of the bunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting two wins was above my expectations,â&#x20AC;? Radford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking

a win and maybe a tie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very, very pleased with the way things have played out.â&#x20AC;? Kentwood has never won a soccer state title, though they won the league title in 2011 and finished third in state that year. While the coach and outsiders didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect greatness coming into the season, Rudolph said he had his sights set high from the start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was never one that was skeptical about our abilities,â&#x20AC;? said Rudolph, who was a freshman on the 2011 state placing team.

Kentridge High School won a pair of games in West Central District baseball playoff action last Saturday to advance to the state Class 4A final field of 16. The Chargers (17-8), who finished third at state last year, open play at 1 p.m. Saturday against Eastlake, the KingCo champion, at Art Wright Field in Kent. The Chargers defeated Tahoma, 5-1, early Saturday at Puyallupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heritage Field behind Joe Wainhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monstrous home run and four RBIs. Wainhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th homer of the season, the 24th of his high school career, was a 400-foot, three-run bomb in the fifth inning. Ryan Schroeder went six innings, striking out four to pick up the win. In the second game, the Chargers exploded for 20 hits in a 22-4 demolition of Gig Harbor at the same park.

Color your garden blue A. I am sure granny never told a fib – but she could be mistaking Monkshood or Aconite for the delphinium. Both have tall spires of blue and purple blooms but only Monkshood will flower well in a shaded spot and return year after year without replanting. Delphiniums come in more intense shades of purple, white and blue and are known as “short-lived” perennials. This means they are like Rose mallow and many other tall perennial plants – happy to blossom for two or three summers and then these drama queens retire and fade quickly back into the soil.

Q. I know all the tips for growing delphiniums. I start my plants indoors from seed that I order from England. I coddle the seedlings in a greenhouse and don’t set them outdoors until May. I add plenty of compost and also Osmocote as a slow release plant food. I surround the plants with slug bait and support the weak stems with tall cages of twine and planting stakes. I do love my delphiniums but here’s the problem. I can only get the plants to grow well for two or three years. Delphiniums are supposed be perennial. How do I keep mine producing

well for decades without having to replant? My grandmother claims her old fashioned delphiniums bloomed in the shade for twenty years without replanting – and my grandmother does not lie. B.C., Auburn

should be at least one inch deep but two inches better. Do not pile the mulch up around the neck of the shrubs. Fertilize your blueberry plants in spring (or now if you forgot) using a rhododendron and azalea fertilizer. Prune out any dead brown wood and any tip growth that looks wayward and out of control but otherwise, blueberries do not require a lot of pruning.

plentiful rainfall. If you are trying to grow blueberries in a container be sure to add two shovels of peat moss to the potting soil. Peat moss makes the soil more acid and also helps the potting soil to hold more moisture. Make sure the crown or base of the plant is not buried too deep. It should be just half an inch under the soil. Add a mulch of compost or wood chips on top of the roots of your blueberry plants now to keep them cool and moist. The mulch

A. The best blue blooms are on cool season alpine plants such as the rock garden gentians and the best place to see these wonders of the plant world is at the Bellevue Botanical Garden in their spectacular rockery. Admission is free and this voluptuous display and education garden also features one of the best perennial borders this side of the Atlantic Ocean. But I digress. If you don’t have a rock garden then grow with blue forget-me-nots and blooming sprays of blue flowers from brunnera in the spring, as well as true blue corydalis varieties such as “Blue Panda” and “China Blue.”

THE GARDENER

Q. I want a garden with more blue flowers. Can you help me with some plants (other than delphiniums – they are hard for me to grow!) that have true blue flowers? P.L. Renton

Summer blooms from lobelia in either the trailing or more compact upright varieties are easy to grow in an area that is shaded from the hot afternoon sun. There are also the blue balls of blooms from agapanthus and flowering onion and tall spires of purple blue Monkshood in late summer. Blue iris, blue balloon flower, blue century plant, and blue lupine are easier to grow perennials – if given the right location. Marianne Binetti

The fourth week of May is a time of exceptional color in Western Washington gardens but also a time when many local gardeners are singing the blues – and enjoying blue blossoms.

Family resource center has a new home BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Since the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, the Auburn Family Resource Center has been at 4338 Auburn Way N., in that familiar, old brick building, which started out life during the Great Depression as Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home, an orphanage. Last week, the center packed up and moved north. On Monday, it reopened its doors at 212 Fifth Ave. S. in Kent, under a new name: the South King County Family Resource Center. Informally, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just south of Mexico Lindo restaurant, across the street from Kent City Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outgrown that space,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman Janica Lockhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Auburn building is quite old now, and we wanted to give our staff a little more room so we could serve more kids and families in South King County.â&#x20AC;? At its new site, the center continues to run Early Head Start and home-visiting programs among its services supporting school readiness. Early Head Start sends trained educators into homes and provides support services to parents with children up to 3 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, an educator goes into the home and works with them, gives them parenting tips, nutrition tips, and also works on brain development, so it helps them with their kids,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart said. Another program, Parents as Teachers, preps kids for a successful future by helping parents from pregnancy through age 3. This home-visiting program includes play, parenting education and a passle of resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also offer family support services, for example, parenting and nutritional classes. When we hold those classes, we typically offer childcare in the facility,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart said. Program manager Melanie Krevitz said the new digs include a family resource area, where parents may come in and wait with their children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a public health nurse in the building who meets with families and helps them get diapers and food donations, if we have them,â&#x20AC;? Krevitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be any number of things going on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still getting set up, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a computer lab.â&#x20AC;?

At the Auburn location, Auburn Family Resource Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-45 staff members served 5,600 children and families in 2013, Lockhart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really just hit capacity at what we can do at that location,â&#x20AC;? Lockhart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Specifically, most of the families we serve are from Kent and Auburn. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen our numbers just increase in the wake of the economic downturn, where more families are turning to us in South King
