Michael Kopp wanted to sell Auburn Flight Service.
Sparrow Tang hoped to buy Kopp’s building at Auburn
Municipal Airport and move his business there.
For the sake of financing his purchase, however, Tang needed a longer lease option than the 30-year option specified in the 40-year lease the original owner
signed with former Auburn Mayor Stan Kersey in February of 1978.
Extending the lease option was in the power of the City of Au-burn to do – indeed, it owns the land under the building, and the
agreement says it must first grant the owner permission to sell – so on May 4 the Auburn City Coun-cil made it a 50-year-lease option. The half-century clock begins to tick in May of 2018.
The upshot is that sometime
after August, when the sale is complete, Tang, owner of Cascade Helicopter Services at Boeing Field in Seattle, will start to call Auburn’s airport home.

AUGUST 29th, 2015 - 11:00AMOn Mother’s Day, Marilyn Oslin’s son, Kirk Little, took her to visit her parents former home on K Street in Auburn. He knocked on the door and asked if they could take photos in the back yard. The owners were very gracious.
The back yard is where the family planted and maintained a rhododendron garden for many years. Oslin’s father, Roy Bodine, planted the tall flowers and nur-tured them for about 50 years.
Bodine, a former Auburn street superintendent, had
grown rhodies for as long as he, or his family, could remember.
Bodine passed away in 1993. The home has had two owners since then.
Oslin, 83, pictured right, grew up in Auburn and moved to Enumclaw, where she raised her family.
“I was very surprised at how much they had grown since the home was sold,” she said.
Her maternal grandfather, Clarence West, was Auburn mayor in 1915.

Federal Way Mirror Editor
Police arrested a home invasion robbery suspect last Sunday night after he allegedly entered a Federal
Way man’s home, assaulted him and eventually stole a car, kidnapping a woman who was in the back seat.
The incident began at 4:13 p.m., when Fed-eral Way Police officers
responded to a home inva-sion robbery at 28900 28th Place S. in Federal Way. The victim told police an unknown male entered his house, assaulted him and stole his Mercedes, accord-
ing to Cathy Schrock, police spokeswoman.
There were no notable injuries to the victim, she said.
The suspect dumped the Mercedes near Auburn at
the Circle K gas station at South 288th Street and 51st Avenue South in King County. He then stole another vehicle, kidnapping a woman who was in the back seat. Police said there
was a gun in the trunk of that car.
Federal Way Police located the stolen vehicle at The Commons mall and initiated a pursuit, which ended in Milton when the suspect’s stolen vehicle slid into a ditch, Schrock said. The woman was unharmed.
The 24-year-old Auburn man was booked into King County jail, pending charges of kidnapping, rob-bery and auto theft.
The suspect has a prior felony conviction for taking a motor vehicle without permission, and a mis-demeanor warrant out of Federal Way for forgery.
The man was arrested on April 4 for allegedly stealing two vehicles, including a Mercedes. In that case, Au-burn police initiated a K-9 track of the suspect when a woman reported a suspi-cious Mercedes parked next to her home. As she passed the vehicle, a man inside the Mercedes ducked down, according to probable cause documents.
Police found the suspect walking southbound in the 400 block of the alley be-tween Pike Street Northeast and R Street Northeast in Auburn. He had the Toyota keys on his person and po-lice also found the keys to the stolen Mercedes nearby. In the April 4 vehicle theft case, the suspect was un-conditionally released from jail on April 14.
Home invasion, kidnapping end with arrest of Auburn man
HOMES PRICES in Auburn jumped 9.3 percent and home sales increased 2.8 percent in April compared to the same month last year. A total of 122 homes were sold at a median price at $299,900, according to numbers compiled by Redfin, a Seattle-based real estate company. The median home price was $300,500 for single-family homes.

Auburn Police responded to the fol-lowing calls for service, among many others, between May 9 and May 17:
May 9Vandalism: 12:10 a.m., 59th and Lakeland Hills Way. Two red-headed boys were busy defacing the Ashton
Homeowners’ Association Monument in Lakeland Hills by adding to it the medical name of the external male genitalia when a nearby homeowner interrupted them, causing the young crime wave to take to their heels and vanish into the darkness.
May 10Clean getaway: 2:35 a.m., 1402 Outlet Collection Way. A cashier at Elephant Chevron was preparing early morning java when a woman entered the store and shoplifted Tide, Dawn and Clorox bleach.

Vandalism: 12:33 p.m., 1700 block of K Street Northeast. As a male stepped outside of his parent’s home, he saw a female running from his car, which had sustained damage to its paint job. This female, claims the male, was the culprit.
Trespassing: 10:41 p.m., 2117 Auburn Way S. As night was firming up its grip on the city, a man entered the Muckleshoot Bingo Hall where his earlier bad behavior had gotten him barred, so police arrested him.

In the Auburn Youth Resources Dick Brugger Building on F Street South-east, the worker bees used to be so tightly packed that Jim Blanchard even had a joke about it.
“Hey, what’s the prob-lem with putting up tents and canopies and working outside?” AYR’s director liked to say.
Blanchard was kidding, but the tight quarters were a cheek-by-jowl issue to employees there, crimping a vital agency working on behalf of local kids in the throes of ever expanding need. The agency offers programs for homeless youth, places to go to stay out of trouble, a teen feed night, a drop-in center and drug and alcohol preven-tion services,
“Things got to the point where we were asking our-selves, ‘where do we have space, and how do we get there,” recalled Joe Hoch-
walt, a member of AYR’s board of directors.
Then, as if the sky had opened to drop the most golden of opportunities in AYR’s lap, Valley Medical Center in 2014 closed its medical clinic next door.
On April 30, AYR cut the ribbon on its new mental health therapy digs, threw open its doors and let people in to gawk at it all, two months after 15 thera-pists quietly moved in.
Turns out, the building is an AYR natural, dotted with former medical exam rooms, where therapists do their thing without crowd-ing elbows or bumping knees, their thing being performing individual therapy, conducting parent-child interaction training or doing art therapy.
“We use this as kind of the home base to go out and work with families, and we’re looking at this as our home commitment to Auburn for a long time to come,” said Blanchard. “It has almost doubled our
capacity, and we’re still doing some renovation; we’re not quite through. We’re still going after some capital dollars to make a big conference room in the middle of the building. We want to upgrade even some of the therapy rooms so we can split them and increase our capacity even more. And it’s a much better place for staff to be refreshed so they can go back and serve the clients.”
The purchase deal came together in less than six months, Hochwalt recalled with amazement.
“It sort of started off with a ‘I wonder if ’ at a board meeting, and from there it germinated to ‘well, we have a small shot,’ Barely three months later we got a deal structured. The bank wanted us to do a couple of things, and the meet-ing after that, we’re signing papers.”
Former Seattle Seahawk Michael Jackson, AYR’s de-velopment director, helped a lot with the fundraising.
“He (Jackson) brings a lot of energy to his job. When we go knocking on the doors of the Brinks Foun-dation, Gates Foundation, looking for funding, to have a guy on our staff say, “Hey, I’m Michael Jackson,’ and have the other guy say, ‘oh, you played football didn’t you?’ And all of a sudden you’ve got an immediate connection. We didn’t have that before. Now he’s got his foot in the door, and can make that elevator speech and we don’t have to ex-plain. He’s just really good at looking at these agree-ments and working with the state. He’s how we’ve gotten funding for some of the improvements we’re going to do, Hochwalt said.
“Even in the three years I’ve been on the board, our budget has grown tre-mendously, and the need continues to be out there. This need has shown there’s a big pie out there to serve a big population, and we’re a small part of it,” Hochwalt said.
what everyone at City Hall already knew – Auburn Junction is history.
As Kevin Snyder, Auburn City Community Develop-ment and Public Works director, explained, the Auburn Junction standards were closely aligned with existing downtown design standards and guidelines.
And that was a problem.
“We do have this ongo-ing tension of having two sets of design standards in our downtown, with no real basis for that,” Snyder said. “So, after compar-ing the Auburn Junction design standards and the downtown standards, staff feels very confident that the downtown design standards that are in effect for the rest of downtown can ad-equately provide guidance
and direction to meet the goals and aspirations of city councils both current and future.
“The downtown design guidelines and standards now in place will apply to the remaining two blocks that, hopefully, will be un-der redevelopment at some point in the future, and the goals and aspirations that the council has we believe will be more than adequate-
ly realized,” Snyder said.Here is what Auburn
Junction was to have been:• Condominium housing
– from smaller studios and one-bedroom units to units for families
• Lifestyle retail and entertainment – offering higher-profile restaurants, speciality retailers, and pos-sibly a theater complex
• Flexible commercial space – commercial uses of
office-flex space, lodging, educational settings and/or work-live potential on the ground floor and upper stories.
Plans also called for village green promenades to the north and northeast connecting to Main Street and Auburn Regional Medical Center and a green trail extending southeast to Safeway and south and west to the Sound Transit station.
An important feature was to have been a central open
space called Auburn Junc-tion plaza, with landscaped islands, a waterfall and a reflecting pool.
Meanwhile, Trek Apart-ments is already showing prospective tenants through its nearly completed apart-ment complex on the site of the former Cavanaugh block on East Main and Merrill Gardens breaks ground next week on its senior apartment complex on South Division Street.

The 75-year-old disabled man appreciates the re-pairs. The home, which has been in the family since 1938, holds many memories.
The project was part of National Rebuilding Day, which provides free home repairs and modifications for low-income residents – senior citizens, persons with disabilities, military veterans and families in need.
More than 500 Rebuilding Together South Sound volunteers joined Rebuilding Together affiliates nationwide on April 25.
A crew of about 20 volunteers from Seattle-based Walsh Construction repaired Swanson’s home. Sun-rise Plumbing put in the new shower.

?Question of the week:“Should Auburn welcome a helicopter repair business to its airpor t?”
Vote online:www.auburn-reporter.comLast week’s poll results:“Do you think the local economy is improving?”No: 55% Yes: 45%
There’s an old saying that people living in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks. The moral is that before criticizing others, you should make sure your own house is in order.
Companies, such as Kent-based REI, supporting Gov. Jay Inslee’s climate change legislation, should heed that advice.
REI is an iconic Northwest retailer of high-end outdoor gear, popular with nature enthusiasts and millen-nials.
REI has been a big booster of Gov. Inslee’s climate change agenda, which pits Washington businesses against one another. The company hosted the governor’s rollout of his proposals, and REI officials testified
in legislative hearings in sup-port of Inslee’s cap-and-trade program.
Inslee’s origi-nal proposal targeted 130 Washington
facilities – the so-called “Dirty 130” – which produce carbon emissions above a certain amount. Fuel sup-pliers have since been dropped from the list, paring the target list down to 80 or 90 facilities.
Under Inslee’s cap-and-trade pro-
posal, Washington facilities on his list would be required to purchase increasingly costly allowances to continue operating.
Those allowances, which op-ponents call a “tax on energy,” are estimated to cost our state’s employ-ers $1.3 billion per year in 2017, growing steadily to $2.2 billion per year by 2026.
Those new costs would put our manufacturers at an added disad-vantage to foreign competitors who

Time to pause, honor those who served, sacrificed
This Memorial Day, there will be honor guards snapping to attention as flags ripple in the breeze. Amidst the green lawns and bright flowers of cemeteries throughout the state, lone buglers and mournful pipers will evoke a heartfelt tear.
On Monday, I hope we can all shut off our smart phones and pause from our barbecues
and picnics and our busy lives. That we can take a moment to remember those that served in the military who gave their precious lives for our nation, for our way of life and for our freedom.
Whether they died a century ago, or just last week, their sacrifice renews itself every single day as we who probably never knew them, go about our daily lives, as we work, play, raise our families and build our communities. For the men and women that fell in World War I or II, in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East or any-where else – be they strangers, relatives or old friends, they are all our family.
On Memorial Day, we remember those that gave their all for our nation. But every other day of the year, may we also not forget to honor and thank the military men and women that served at home and abroad in the past, and especially appreciate those men and women that are serving today.

Post Office not keeping pace
I went to the Auburn Post Office drive-up drop box to send my granddaughters’ card, and the box slot was stuffed with mail sticking out. So I went into the Post Office counter and told them their drive-up needed immediate attention.
I dropped her card at the inside drop and waited outside to see if anyone was going to tend to the drive-up drop box. A worker came out and opened the box. The huge canvas mail catcher, like a big industrial laundry basket, was overflowing, with mail on the floor. The slot was completely stuffed.
No way was the mail being removed three times yesterday and at 9 this morning. No way are they doing their job and re-moving the mail at scheduled
times. Do we have any faith in public service anymore?
I said to the man, "I bet my son-in-law's birthday card is in there somewhere. No wonder he hasn't gotten it yet."
Perhaps the Postmaster General will see this. Perhaps someone will do something.
I have written this to tell my fellow citizens what I saw so they would be aware of this failure of public trust and to use caution when wanting to pay a bill or send a card timely.– Signe Markuson
Support home care workers
I’m proud to be a home care worker in Washington State, which means I provide care for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Last year, home care work-ers negotiated a contract that provided a modest retirement contribution so that home care workers would be able to save for retirement. But Senate Republicans are supporting a budget that says, “You can never retire!” by refusing the fund this retirement contribution.

supply outdoor clothes, hiking boots and tents to companies like REI.
Keep in mind that companies manufacturing in Washington today are already operating under some of the most stringent state and federal environmental laws in the world. Gov. Inslee’s proposal would essentially change the rules and create more uncertainty.
And while proponents charac-terize those on the list as “the state’s biggest polluters,” the targeted fa-cilities include Boeing; the Univer-sity of Washington Seattle campus and Washington State University at
Pullman; and, WaferTech and REC Silicon, members of Washington’s vaunted clean high-tech industry.
Taxpayers already pay to sup-port the state universities. Under Inslee’s proposal, we would pay again in the form of higher tuition, home heating and electricity bills.
State officials haven’t said how many thousands of jobs the targeted facilities provide or how adding $1.3 billion a year to their costs could affect Washington’s un-employment rate, which remains stubbornly above the national average – with many counties suf-fering double-digit joblessness.
Washington is already one of the cleanest and “greenest” states in the
nation, and whatever we do will have very little impact on climate change. Remember three-fourths of our electricity comes from hydroelectric plants, which do not generate greenhouse gases.
Still, it has been relatively easy for some large retailers to jump on Gov. Inslee’s cap-and-trade bandwagon and testify in support of a $1.3 billion energy tax on “big polluters.”
Those companies buy much of their merchandise from overseas manufacturers where many of their products are made in facto-ries powered by coal-fired power plants.
So, it turns out those companies
are big polluters as well – just not here. And they provide thousands of manufacturing jobs – just not here.
When it comes to criticizing Washington manufacturers, it’s easy to throw stones when your own interests aren’t at risk. Yes, the companies targeted by Inslee’s proposal emit carbon dioxide, but they also produce Washington manufacturing jobs.
On the other hand, overseas suppliers often pay workers less, have fewer benefits, and their environmental, health and worker safety protections are weaker.
Some retailers, like Walmart, are shifting back to the USA. In 2013
Walmart committed to buying $50 billion “Made in America” products in the next decade. Suc-cess of the campaign to bring jobs home will depend on productions costs here.
Unfortunately, if Inslee’s cap-and-trade proposal doesn’t make it through the special legislative session, it may become an initiative on the 2016 ballot.
Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver. He can be con-tacted at [email protected].
This is wrong, and any budget agreement has to fund the retirement plan that was agreed to. For home care workers, who receive poverty-level wages and are often elderly them-selves, this agreement is the only way to save for our own retirement.
Home care workers like me are holding up our end of the bargain, but the Legislature is threatening to go back on the state’s word. We negotiated our contract in good faith and reached a historic deal with the state without arbitration. Now it’s time for Olympia to live up to honor its agreement and help hard-working home care workers retire with dignity.– Daryll Johnson
Mural is a waste of moneyBruce Rommell's letter ("Public
art? Taxpayers’ money not well
spent", Auburn Reporter, May 8) certainly hit a nail on its head.
Speaking of heads, where are the heads for the six City Councilmem-bers who believe we should spend $18,000 on a mural on a water tank at Lakeland Hills?
Pretty is nice, but pretty is not always necessary. A tank is a tank is a tank. That trees are being removed is sad enough, but to spend a huge amount of money to "fake them" is even worse.
A tip of the ol' political hat to Bill Peloza. He may have done a little grandstanding on the painted tank issue, but he is aware of the waste of money. I appreciate his willingness to step up to the plate on an issue that has many rate payers in Auburn steaming.
If this sounds like an endorsement to reelect Peloza for City Council, it is.– Virginia Haugen
Four candidates’ names will appear on the ballot for Au-burn City Council this fall.
But if any political junkies out there were expecting deft jabs or verbal slap-downs at spicy candidate forums this election season from two people jealously eyeing the same seat on the city’s legislative body, they can forget about it.
Because when the smoke of filing week for statewide elective office cleared at 5 p.m., May 15, according to the
Washington State Public Dis-closure Commission’s website, there were no contested races for Auburn City Council.
That means City Council incumbents Largo Wales, Bill Peloza and John Holman will run unopposed. And in his first run ever at elective office, Rob-ert Baggett won’t have to battle anyone for Position 7. Wayne Osborne, who was elected to office in 2012, announced months ago he would not seek reelection to Position 7.
Likewise, there will be no contested races for the four seats on the Auburn School
District’s Board of Directors. Filing for election were: in-cumbents Ray Vefik and Anne Baunach; newcomer Robyn Mulenga, will run unopposed for Carol Seng’s seat; and Ray Quill is running to complete the two years remaining on the unexpired term of Lisa Connors, who stepped down two years ago to accept a posi-tion with the Auburn School District. The school board appointed Quill to fill Connor’s position after her resignation, and district rules say he must run to complete Connors’ original four-year term.

Overhead, Old Glory waves.

faced life-and-death situa-tions almost daily.
He battles depression, anxiety and anger.
“They tell me I will be in a wheelchair when I’m 45,” said Pondelick, 30.
His story is not unique. Many veterans return from the battle zone burdened with serious physical and psychological problems. While many get answers and the help they need, other do not and tumble
into a black pit of despair.Which is where Pon-
delick and some of his friends are determined to make a difference – as vet-erans helping veterans.
For the third consecutive year, Pondelick and Algo-na’s Alfredo “Tito” Medina, a Navy veteran, are organiz-ing and directing a veterans resource fair. This year’s free event, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 30 at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Hall at 2727 East D St., is open to past and present
U.S. military personnel and their families.
More than 100 orga-nizations, agencies and nonprofits will be there to provide resource help for veterans and their families, and in a variety of ways: VA benefits; legal and com-munity services; home-less services; educational benefits; medical screenings and dental resources; jobs, apprenticeship, training and vocational opportuni-ties; housing and other transition and reintegration
services.This “everything fair”
has a single mission: to help veterans make direct connections to and get information about veteran-specific programs and resources.
Pondelick expects between 1,500 and 2,000 veterans, considerably more than the first fair he and a handful of others helped establish two years ago at Green River College.
The first fair drew 500 veterans, with many mak-ing the long trip to Auburn. Last year’s event attracted 1,013 veterans and family members.
“A homeless veteran bicycled from the base of the Space Needle to the college,” Pondelick recalled at the inaugural fair. “That story is very common.
“We come across veterans all the time who have been three to six months out of the Army, and are either homeless, being evicted, divorced, whatever is going on,” he said. “There’s always issues coming up.”
Along with raising money through donations and sponsorships, Pondelick and Medina have spent thou-sands of dollars of their own money to keep the event free and available to veterans.
Working on behalf of veterans has become Pondelick’s calling. His injuries have rendered him 100-percent disabled.
“Unemployable,” as he puts it.
Pondelick is chairman of the King County Veter-ans Advisory Board and president of the National Alliance to End Veteran Suicide.
Many veterans are not getting the help they need today. Pondelick knows as much.
“I want to help out other vets, but this is a way for me
not to go crazy,” Pondelick said. “Our goal is to help out the average veteran.”
The Department of Vet-erans Affairs, the National Alliance to End Veteran Suicide, Sea Mar, Military Veteran Solutions, the Washington State Depart-ment of Veteran Affairs, Humana, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, DAV, Tacoma Public Utilities and the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association are among the event’s sponsors.

Homer Fairfield, a Navy veteran, and Joe Audino, a Merchant Marine and Navy veteran, were the latest to visit the nation’s capital.
The Honor Flight Network recognizes World War II veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by flying them to Washington, D.C., at no cost. Individu-al donations and corporate support allow veterans the opportunity to make the trip and visit war memorials built in their honor.
Honor Flight hubs throughout the country have sent more than 1,000 veterans on this cathartic jour-ney.
Other Post 1741 veterans who have made the trip include: Don Hansen (Navy); Robert Wagner (Army); Dick Richards (Army) and Mike Lisle (Navy).

According to its website, Cascade Helicopter Services (CHS) is “a comprehensive helicopter maintenance and repair facility, established in 1975 at Boeing Field in Seattle.” Specifically, it is an authorized repair station and authorized service center for MD helicop-ters and high-end turbine equipment.
Councilmembers got their first look at the lease extension proposal during a study session at Auburn City Hall.
Today Auburn ranks among the busiest munici-pal airports in the state, and about 50 percent of the activity involves helicopters, said City Finance Director Shelley Coleman
“That’s what’s driving this,” Coleman said.
Given all the high end helicopters that will need repairs, Mayor Nancy Backus noted the potential for sales tax revenues.
“We’re not talking about the price of a new car; we’re talking about the price of a car lot,” Backus said. “… It’s millions.”
“The new business will also require aviation fuel,” Coleman said, adding that at some point CHS may actually provide service for fixed-wing aircraft.
The airport is fully funded by airport leases and land leases, and by federal grants for whatever capital work is needed.
According to recent news reports, with the recent increase in activity at Boe-ing Field, King County is making it a more expensive place to do business, and as the county finds itself in a position to be more
selective, it is no longer renewing long-term leases, preferring instead month-to-month leases.
Councilman Rich Wagner said he is all in favor of a helicopter service business at the airport, but he objects to any helicopter training that might happen at the site in the future. Cascade is not certified today to provide helicopter training.
“All these things about sales, that’s great, and a complete airport is great. But helicopters that use up the runway space more than they should, in train-ing, to me is a big detri-ment,” Wagner said.
Wagner cited a recent report on congestion at Sea-Tac Airport, describ-ing its total lack of capacity over the next 25 to 30 years, to argue for at least some
limitations on the number of helicopter training flights possible in Auburn.
“They’re looking every-where to put other airplanes down on the ground. They won’t put big ones down here, but I think, eventu-ally, our airport will service some kind of business jets,” Wagner said. “And the more we allow our airport space to be used by non-paying, helicopter-training planes,
the more we diminish our chances to capitalize on that economic opportunity.”
There is a helicopter pad on the airport’s west side, built there to allow helicopter pilots – most of them part of Green River College’s aviation training program – to touch and go there instead of on the run-way. Two airport tenants have helicopters, too.
Wayne Osborne, a
retired air traffic controller, said that if there is to be a control tower at the airport – in fact, the airport has qualified for one for years – the physical presence of a controller, or controllers, would eliminate conflicts.
“I can see by 2068 – when the 50-year lease option expires – there would prob-ably be a control tower at the airport,” Osborne said.

THE CITY OF AUBURN hosts King County Assessor Lloyd Hara and other Department of Assess-ments representatives at a town hall meeting at Auburn City Hall, 25 W. Main St., on Thursday, June 4, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The town hall is an opportunity for South King County residents to learn about rebounding property values and how prop-erty taxes are calculated and distributed. Hara, Mayor Nancy Backus and King County staff will answer questions about property valua-tions, the property value appeal process, and property tax exemp-tion programs. Hara reminds all property owners to carefully review the informa-tion contained in the valuation notice, which will be mailed to residents starting in June.

We’re on a missionIf you’re reading this message, you
may feel as we do at Susan G. Komen Puget Sound: we’re on a mission. It’s so important that everyone have access to breast cancer screening programs, as well as equal insurance coverage for cancer treatments. The lives and well-being of our loved ones and all the women in our communities are at stake.
Everything we do is aimed at fighting this awful disease, and you can help. Educate yourself about breast health. Encourage your loved
ones to be screened. Be an advocate. And don’t forget to join us for the 22nd annual Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® on Sunday, June 7 at Seattle Center. Together we’ll celebrate the strength and courage of breast cancer survivors while raising critical funds to battle breast cancer locally.
To save $5 and have your registration fee matched dollar-for-dollar, sign up in person at an Xfinity store from April 20 through Race day. Donations are accepted and matched as well; up to $35. Our thanks to Comcast for their generous matching program, which could bring in as much as $25,000 for our cause.

XFINITY STORES OFFER RACE FOR THE CURE REGISTRATION, DONATION MATCHES
Comcast is matching Race for the Cure Puget Sound registration fees and donations up to $35 for those who sign up in person at participating Xfinity retail stores.
To double your donation, head to your local Xfinity retail store and look for the pink iPad display. Race registrations will be accepted and matched at Xfinity stores through Friday, June 5 and donations through Race day – Sunday, June 7.
Comcast has committed to support the matching campaign up to $25,000. The company will match one registration fee or donation per participant.
“Employees throughout Comcast participated in the Race for the Cure for years, and it’s exciting to take this support to a new level. I can’t think of anyone at Comcast who hasn’t been
touched in some way by breast cancer through personal experience or family and friends. We are excited to partner with the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound and be a part of the solution to end breast cancer,” said Steve Kipp, Vice President of External Affairs for Comcast.
Washington State has the 5th highest breast cancer incidence rate in the U.S., according to a 2015 American Cancer Society survey. Breast cancer affects women and men across regions, ethnicities, and ages. In 2015, there are expected to be nearly 295,000 new breast cancer cases and over 40,000 deaths in the United States.

A WORLD WITHOUT BREAST CANCER MEANS CURING THE DISEASE
My name is Lynda Weatherby and I’m a breast cancer survivor. Until a couple years ago, I thought I was an early detection success story – but as it turns out, I was wrong. Instead, I’m among the many women whose breast cancer has recurred and metastasized.
More than a decade ago, when I was in my 30s, I had early stage breast cancer; it was detected and treated early. Then came an awful day in May 2013, when I learned the cancer had fooled and foiled everyone. Twelve years later, it was back.
Right after Mother’s Day, I began radiation treatments to halt tumors that threatened my spinal cord. The most intense treatments involved Gamma Knife surgery to wipe out tiny tumors at the base of my brain and a larger, truly wicked tumor
that had formed on my main facial nerve.
Yes, the tiny cancer I had a dozen years ago with a minuscule chance of recurrence, came back into my life, this time as metastatic stage 4 disease. I couldn’t bear to say those awful words to anyone for nearly a year, and it’s still hard. I will likely be in some form of treatment for the rest of my life, taking meds, getting scans every few months, and balancing my fears with hope for a cure.
There are far too many women living in these circumstances. Last year the first report from the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance – of which the Susan G. Komen organization is a founding member – estimated the lifetime risk of recurrence at up to 30 percent for all breast cancers.
Breast cancer typically metastasizes to any of four places in the body. I’m blessed that mine had spread only to my bones and my brain, and that we have treatments available to deal with both.
Treatable – but not yet curable.
Susan G. Komen is funding research into new treatments for metastatic disease, so I am hopeful. But a 30 percent risk of recurrence? Those are sobering statistics for all breast cancer survivors. We need answers to how metastases happen. THEN we’ll be getting somewhere, and we’ll be able to save more lives.
In the 32 years since its founding, Komen has invested nearly $850 million in research, more than any other nonprofit and second only to the U.S. government. It’s research that has helped push breast cancer death rates down by 34 percent since 1990, and helped improve survivability.
Early detection and mammography programs save lives and must continue, but also, a world without breast cancer means curing the disease, and research is how we get there.
Lynda Weatherby lives in Issaquah with her family.

Only one dog is permitted per adult walker registration.
Why We Race• One in eight women in the U.S. will be
diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
• Because every minute, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer.
• And because, breast cancer knows no boundaries—be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location.
We Race because at the current rate, 13 million breast cancer deaths around the world will occur in the next 25 years. When you participate and fundraise for the Race, we fight these statistics together. In 1980, the 5-year relative survival rate for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer (cancer confined to the breast) was about 74 percent. Today, that number is 99 percent! Komen has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer - transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. This progress was made with your continued support and together we can reach our vision of a world without breast cancer.
Join a TeamMultiply your impact, multiply your fun! Participating in the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® with a team increases the fun, the laughter and maybe even the tears you share on Race day.Did you know that every two minutes a new case of breast cancer is diagnosed in the US? Help us fight back by forming a team in honor or in memory of someone you know impacted or touched by breast cancer. Together you make an even greater impact than you could alone.Teams can be of any size and team members do not have to participate in the same event. There is no extra cost to form or join a team.
Make a donationEven if you can’t walk or run, you can lend your support to the breast cancer fight by making a general donation or giving to a participant or team. Visit the Race website to find out how.

PROUD MEDIA SPONSOR
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS – and help women get lifesaving breast cancer screenings. Join former Gov. Christine Gregoire in choosing these special edition license plates, now available through the Washington State Department of Licensing. Proceeds from the plates fund free breast cancer screening services and follow-ups for women in need through the state’s Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program (BCCHP), supported through a grant from Susan G. Komen® Puget Sound.
Gregoire, a breast cancer survivor, credits early detection for saving her life and is committed to raising awareness of cancer prevention and screenings, including mammograms.
The first 18 Washington State breast cancer awareness license plates were sold by online auction in October, raising $13,983 for the cause.
If you or a loved one need a mammogram but have no insurance or a limited health plan, contact the BCCHP to apply for a free screening. Call 1-888-438-2247 to find out if you may be eligible, or get more information online at www.doh.wa.gov/bcchp. Eligibility for the BCCHP is based on health insurance status, income and age.
Founded in 1992 by local volunteers who shared a vision of ending breast cancer forever, the Puget Sound Affiliate has invested more than $28.6 million to fight breast cancer. Funding from Race for the Cure and other Komen Puget Sound events support community programs, as well as groundbreaking science to find a cure.
Komen funds breast cancer early detection and education. Here are just a few of the organizations that benefit:
Cancer Lifeline—Patient Assistance & Treatment Support, helping
low-income patients who are in treatment for breast cancer.
Washington State Department of Health—Komen Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnostic Program, lifesaving mammograms and diagnostic services to nearly 8,000 low income women
Franciscan Foundation—Breast Cancer Navigation Program, screening,
diagnostics and treatment for Asian, Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic, Native American and sexual minority women in Tacoma/Pierce County
South Puget IntertribalPlanning Agency—
Native Women’s Wellness Program, providing breast health outreach, education, screening and support to women in rural tribal communities.
Also, a minimum of 25 percent of the affiliate’s net income goes to breast cancer research. Here are just a few of the Komen Scholars funded in the past year:
• Julie Gralow, M.D., of the University of Washington, is exploring whether there are features found on breast cancer cells at the time of diagnosis that make the cancer cells more likely to spread to the bone or other sites. Dr. Gralow and her team also test whether biophosphonates, a class of drugs that inhibit bone breakdown, can decrease breast cancer recurrence.
• Benjamin Anderson, M.D., of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, to continue his professional work in addressing breast cancer disparities around the globe.
• Mary-Claire King, Ph.D., of the University of Washington to screen for mutations in the non-coding regions of breast cancer genes that may regulate when and where those genes get activated, potentially identifying novel mutations and new mechanisms for inherited breast cancer.
Dr. King is well known for her discovery of the BRCA1
gene. Studies have shown that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (combined with other known genetic risk mutations) account for about one-third of hereditary breast cancers.
KOMEN ON A MISSION TO END BREAST CANCER
Gov. Christine Gregoire
Breast Cancer Warning SignsBecause to the use of
regular mammography screening, most breast cancers in the U.S. are found at an early stage – before signs appear. However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography.
Though warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women, the most common signs are a change in the look or feel of a breast or nipple, or nipple discharge.
If you have any of the warning
signs described below, see a health care provider. • Lump, hard knot or thickening
inside the breast or underarm area• Swelling, warmth, redness or
darkening of the breast• Change in the size or shape of the
breast• Dimpling or puckering of the skin• Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the
nipple• Pulling in of your nipple or other
parts of the breast• Nipple discharge that starts
suddenly
Washington State has the 5th highest breast cancer incidence rate in the U.S., according to a 2015 American Cancer Society survey. Breast cancer affects women and men across regions, ethnicities, and ages. In 2015, there are expected to be nearly 295,000 new breast cancer cases and over 40,000 deaths in the United States.
DID YOU KNOW?
KOMEN PUGET SOUND RACE FOR THE CURE • 5
but they do have heart. If that’s true, then Susan G. Komen Puget Sound volunteer Barb Tiller has heart—lots of it. The 70-year-old Seattle native has been an active Komen Puget Sound volunteer for 20 years, beginning her involvement with the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1996. This year’s Race for the Cure brings Barb’s volunteer career full circle as she tackles the challenge of wrangling close to 500 helpers as the Race volunteer co-chair.
“I’ve always loved Komen, ever since I started volunteering,” Barb says. That love was born of a chance meeting with a pair of breast cancer survivors, a meeting she counts as a transformational moment in her journey. “They were so full of life and happy,” she recalls. “They’d just gone through treatment and losing a breast, and I thought ‘How could they be happy going through something like that?’”
Barb soon recognized
that it is the feeling of sisterhood among survivors that lies at the root of their joy. Since then, Barb has been an active Komen volunteer, providing support for everything from administrative work in the organization’s downtown Seattle office to greeting guests at events. Her volunteer work, she says, “is just something of a passion now. I want to continue to work with Komen and be a part of the cure.”
As Race volunteer co-chair, Barb is charged with managing a variety of roles required to ensure the event goes smoothly. However, her greatest joy in the role is in seeing all of the other who are also interested in finding a cure. She is inspired by these volunteers, many of them breast cancer survivors, who share her determination to bring an end to the disease.
THERE’S A SAYING THAT VOLUNTEERS DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE TIME,
It may be hard to know what to say or do when someone has breast cancer, even when you really want to help. Susan G. Komen has resources for “co-survivors,” along with suggested ways to offer support and take care of yourself during this difficult time.
A co-survivor can be anyone who offers support, including family, friends, spouses, partners, kids, co-workers, healthcare providers, support groups and spiritual advisors.
There are many ways to support a survivor. Thoughtful gestures big and small mean a lot, whether the person has just been diagnosed or completed treatment years ago. By giving support you show strength and love. There are three main types of support: informational, emotional and practical. Survivors may need different types of support at different times.
Informational support involves learning all you can about breast cancer, because the more you know, the more you can help. You can learn common breast cancer terms and treatment options, make a list of questions to ask the
doctor, or gather information for your loved one and share what you’ve learned.
Emotional support means you’re aware a diagnosis of breast cancer can bring about a wide range of emotions including shock, fear, denial, sadness and anger. As your loved one goes through this, just listen. Let them express their feelings. Give them a hug if it will be of comfort.
Practical support means helping with day-to-day tasks. You could offer to cook or clean, drive them to the doctor, deliver a hot meal, do laundry, send a note or watch their kids.
Sometimes co-survivors need help too. Support groups are available for caregivers. You can also ask others to help so that you can take a break. By going to www.komen.org/cosurvivor, you can connect with others on Komen’s co-survivor message board and create an online calendar to assist your loved one.
If you’re a co-survivor in need of support or tips, visit www.komen.org/cosurvivor or call the breast care helpline at 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636).
WAYS TO SUPPORT A SURVIVOR
WINNING THE FIGHT, HELPING OTHERS BEAT THEIR PLIGHT WITH CANCER
When last the Renton Reporter spoke to breast cancer survivor Jennifer Teeler, she had put three years between her and her battle with the disease. Now at 50, she’s been in remission for six years and said she’s still experienced more joy in life than sorrow.
Back in 2012, Teeler was into her lifestyle change, foregoing using a microwave and passing up fast food, eating vegetables and exercising.
Today her house still does not have a microwave, something she and her family gave up because she thought it may have ill effects on their health. She’s also kept her commitment to use plastic bottles sparingly and limits processed food.
“I’m still somewhat active,” she said. “But I don’t do either of those things as well as I did last time we talked,” she said of eating veggies and exercising.
She tried to get her family to follow suit, but said that they eat more junk food as a reaction to her rejection of it, she thinks. Her husband Tony and her
daughters Ellie and Abigail have been known to have a Big Mac from time to time.
One thing that hasn’t changed is Teeler’s faith. It still defines her and has carried her through recent trials with family members.
When she was diagnosed with cancer at age 42, her life had been pretty easy up until that point and she’d had no history of the disease in her family. Last year her sister, at age 45, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Soon after she finished treatment, their mom suffered kidney failure and is now on dialysis. If that wasn’t enough, last Christmas Teeler’s father had surgery on his carotid artery.
“Everyone is doing well now, but dealing with my own diagnosis gave me the tools to help the rest of my family as we dealt with one dire situation after another,” Teeler said. “On the flip side though, God has also filled my life with a happy marriage, healthy children - one who is graduating from high school this year - family vacations, new nieces and nephews, lots of reasons to rejoice and much more joy than sorrow.”
Teeler has the privilege, she said, of walking beside many women who are undergoing cancer treatment, as the volunteer resource manager for
the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen.
She tries to impart to other women some of the peace and strength God gave her when she was on the same path. Time is still worth more than money to her, which is why she enjoys her work at the nonprofit.
“Once you spend an hour or a day or a week, you can never earn it back,” Teeler said. “That’s one of the reasons that I so enjoy working with volunteers. I believe that it’s easier to give a dollar to a good cause than to
give an hour. Volunteers are generous people who believe so passionately in the organization they are supporting that they are willing to give their time to that organization.”
Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® still has lots of volunteer jobs available for the race, June 7, at Seattle Center. If interested, visit pugetsound.info-komen.org/site/PageServer?pagename=SEA_TR_volunteer .

CHAMBERS LEADS THE FABULOUS FOOBS
With a name like The Fabulous Foobs, the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure team co-led by survivor Dana Chambers would have a good story behind it. Indeed, “foobs” are the result of Dana’s own journey, which began in December 2013 with a needle biopsy and diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma.
Dana, married and “mom” to a quarter horse named Gunnar, was told to prepare for surgery, chemo and a long, difficult year. Determined to win the battle, she opted for a double mastectomy, and ended up having 16 lymph nodes out too.
Dana recalls a difficult recovery from surgery, followed by a surprising rebound during chemo. Though she lost her hair and experienced pain and fatigue, she took RV trips with her husband, rode Gunnar and made progress on her quilting projects. “I was not about to let cancer rule my life and take away the things I love the most,” she said.
She signed up for her first Race for the Cure and joined thousands of Komen Puget Sound supporters and fundraisers at Seattle Center last June.
“At the end of the one-mile walk I was so warm that I decided to remove my bandana in public for the first time,” she said.
A photographer captured the moment when a friend kissed Dana’s bald head.
That compelling shot – with Dana’s beautiful grin – graces this year’s Race flyers and ads.
Dana’s battle isn’t finished. Chemo ended, but her oncologist advised Herceptin infusions and an anti-
estrogen medicine along with radiation. With treatments and reconstruction still in her future, Dana works at maintaining a positive attitude, expressing thanks to God, family, friends and
a supportive medical team. “I’m going to the gym, walking, riding my horse and living my life,” Dana said. “And I’ll see all of you at Race for the Cure on June 7!”
Dana Chambers, cancer survivor and co-leader of the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure team.
Continuing the journey
Breast cancer and family life Family is at the heart of everyday life for most people. Busy schedules are filled with work, school, daycare, and hobbies. Add to that all the shopping, housework, and a few other activities and suddenly you’re
faced with overload. Such is life, vibrant and joyful, until the day when the unthinkable
happens. Mom (or even Dad, although it’s more rare) develops breast cancer.
Even though breast cancer primarily affects women, men can also receive this diagnosis. A newly diagnosed person sometimes
has to leave her job, either
temporarily or permanently, to undergo the appropriate treatment. The family has to
reorganize and confront increased expenses and a reduction in income, especially if the parent has to be sent away to be treated. Indeed, oncology centers are usually located in large urban areas.It is quite understandable that parents feel totally distraught at the thought of having to leave their children and suffer through this ordeal all alone. Fortunately, many types of support are available. Common supports are loved ones, self-help groups, organizations and foundations that provide counseling, and accommodations near specialized oncology centers. With the Internet, webcams, and social media, it is now much easier to communicate from a distance and experience the support of family. It is important to stay in touch with children and stay involved in their daily lives; it helps make the long wait seem shorter, and it soothes everyone’s worries.In happiness as in adversity, it is comforting to be able to count on a united family. Send a clear message to those treacherous cancer cells—the family will have the last word!
Patients get well faster with family support.

Memorial Day reminders for your dogBY KATHY LANG
Family Dog Training Center
The first long weekend of spring is upon us. Whether your plans include a picnic at the park or a backyard barbe-cue, here are some tips for pet owners:
Exercise your dog before you leave or the guests arrive. A tired dog is a relaxed dog.
If you’re headed to the park or a friend’s house, it might be best to leave Fido at home. If you are taking him along, plan for those times where he needs to relax and you need both hands free. Bring a travel crate or exercise pen.
If other families are bringing dogs, plan ahead for ways to manage your dog. Only allow your dog to play with other dogs that are safe, and be sure to
monitor him at all times. If your dog is not good with other dogs, leave him at home for everyone’s peace of mind.
Practice good manners, even with friends and family who say, “Oh, I don’t care if he jumps on me.” Insist on a sit-for-greeting first, and then tell your dog it’s OK to go visit.
Always monitor dogs and children. Even the most tolerant dog can react in fear or aggres-sion.
When your dog has had enough, allow him to take a nap in his crate or a quiet place, especially if festivities include fireworks. If your dog has a diffi-cult time coping with chaos, talk to your vet about medications to help him relax.
Beware of the dangers of the barbecue. Charcoal, lighter fluid, matches, hot surfaces, raw meats, smelly marinades and dogs definitely do not mix.
Prevent tummy upset, or worse. Insist on a no-people-food-for-Fido policy. Monitor the food table, leftovers and gar-bage so a sneaky canine doesn’t ingest chicken bones or other unsafe items.
TRUPANION, a company in Seattle that offers medical insurance for cats and dogs, recently visited the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) in Kent, bearing gifts. More specifically, a check for $5,000 and a portion of their pet-treat award for winning The Bark’s Best Places to Work Contest. The company was awarded a year supply of Zuke’s treats for more than 227 pets that come into its office each day. But the company decided to donate them to animal shelters for homeless pets.
Auburn's award-winning Petpalooza, the local mardi gras for animals, invaded, fittingly, Game Farm Park, last Saturday.
The organized and domesticated zoo, a furry festival for Fido and friends, attracted thousands of pet owners from throughout the area.
For one day, pet owners and their leashed dogs, cats and other critters roam and rule the park and bask in the spot-light of a uniquely designed event devoted exclusively to them.
The event kicked off with a Dog Trot 3K/5K Fun Run and featured an animal-related entertain-ment stage, Skyhoundz Disc Dog Championships, pony rides, the Unleashed pet contests, agility areas, a noon pet parade and more than 150 vendor booths, giveaways and activities.
