A survivor’s battle cry: Paddles up! By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Nancy Thomas’ approach to life and battling cancer three times can be summed up in an expression she learned from fellow dragon-boat team members: “paddles up,” she says confidently. “Paddles up is what we say when we get ready to go and paddles up is kind of a key word for women here,” Thomas said. The 74-year-old Renton resident first was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. She didn’t want to accept the bad news.
“I just didn’t believe it; I couldn’t because I’m healthy and I was tearful, but I was mad,” she recalls. When she had her first re-occurrence, she was just plain angry and by the third time in 2007 her husband Lew thought she was going to die, but Thomas said she wasn’t ready. Being the very strong-minded person that she is, she sought activities to motivate and strengthen her. In the process she discovered the sport of dragon-boat racing through a niece who lives in California, who also had cancer. Her niece, Rita Colonell, came up
to Washington for a dragon-boat race and encouraged Thomas to get involved. It didn’t take much to get Thomas hooked. She is naturally an athletic person, who wishes she had been born in a time when she could have done more athletic activities. This paired with a fondness for the water and she signed up with Team Survivor Northwest in no time. The dragon boat team started in 2000, when the team paired up with local club, Club SAKE, to comprise a team of just cancer [ more paddles up page 10 ]
FilmFrenzy turns lens on city this weekend By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
This weekend, don’t be surprised if you see a whole bunch of people running around Renton with cameras in hand. This is the weekend when 24 teams will film
their entries in Renton FilmFrenzy V. That number of teams ties with 2009’s roster for the most teams competing and is a jump of six over last year. “We are really excited about this number of entrants and the diverse array of competitors,” said Suzanne Dale Estey, the City of Renton’s
economic development director. The 50-hour competition starts at 5 p.m. today when the teams get their “Curveballs,” which are locations or pieces of dialogue they need to include in their four-minute films. [ more Film Frenzy page 13 ]
The commissioners of Public Hospital District 1, which owns Valley Medical Center, will take legal action against UW Medicine to resolve their contention the Strategic Alliance between the two medical centers is invalid. The commission vote Monday night was 3-2 on a resolution that authorizes commission President Dr. Paul Joos “to initiate litigation, if necessary,” to determine the validity of the year-old alliance. Voting yes on the resolution were Joos, Anthony Hemstad and Dr. Aaron Heide; voting no were Carolyn Parnell and Sue Bowman. Joos said a telephone survey of 500 voters conducted Sept. 10-16

showed public support for the commission’s position. “In taking this action the commission is simply following the will of the people,” he said. However, that survey came under attack just days after it was completed and again at the commission meeting for its questions. On Sept. 19, an attorney representing the alliance Board of Trustees asked the consultant to stop work on the survey because Joos didn’t have the legal authority to commission it. That authority rests with the alliance Board of Trustees, according to the attorney. The agreement to form the strategic alliance was signed on June 30, 2011, after it was approved by a 3-2 vote by the then-sitting commissioners. However, since [ more alliance page 13 ]

August 2011, in advance of a countywide vote on extending the veterans and human services levy. The stories of veterans and the support they receive or don’t receive were told in print and online at RentonReporter.com. Interviewed for print were veterans and their families served at the Compass Center in downtown Renton. In order to show the difference in how veterans were welcomed home after their service, four veterans told their own stories to the Renton Reporter in video interviews that appeared on RentonReporter.com. The veterans served during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the wars of the last two decades. Judges referred to “moving profiles of vets trying to find a place in the community.” There were about 2,200 entries in news, advertising and Web from 73 non-daily community newspapers across the state in the WNPA contest.

Briarwood reopens reshaped, refreshed By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
It’s a Friday afternoon at the recently re-constructed Briarwood Elementary School in east Renton and students are circling the building for a Parent Teacher Association walk-a-thon. The sun is shining, pop music from a stereo is pushing students forward and their Principal Drew Terry gives out fist bumps and high-fives, naming each student who passes. Briarwood opened its doors and campus to a whole new environment this school year, after replacing a 50-year-old building and reshaping its grounds. The school is off to a great start, Terry said during a recent interview and tour of the kindergartenthrough-fifth-grade school. “So our people have been waiting for a while and they’re just thrilled to have this brand new school,” he said. Construction started in April 2011 and took 15 months. The new building was built on land adjacent to the old building. At some of the other elementary schools in the Issaquah School District, to which Briarwood belongs, there has been some overcrowding with some schools more crowded than others, Terry said. “They built this school to handle about 580 (students),” he said. “So, we’re about 100 away from what they would consider to be interior capacity. That means without the portables.” Currently Briarwood has 470 students. The district built the new school with proceeds from a bond measure that passed in February 2006. This construction project is the last proj-
Thirsty students take advantage of water during a recent walk-a-thon at the re-newly constructed Briarwood Elementary School in East Renton.tracey compton, Renton Reporter ect paid for with this bond. With the new campus came new furniture, materials and design features. It’s a two-story structure with 28 classrooms in wings around the library, the hub of the school. The library plan is open with the ceiling opening to the floor above. Staff got to weigh in on the design and as a result were given custom workstations, a larger staff lounge and one of two outdoor staff seating areas in the district. Terry has taken advantage of the outdoor space, preparing barbecues for staff, which he said they really appreciate. The previous building did not
have interior hallways. The school was a series of buildings with classrooms that weren’t connected and only accessible from outside doors. Briarwood is a magnet school for science and technology and now has a broadcast room for fourth- and fifth-grade students to create their own productions of school announcements. “They’re actually going to have the ability to create newscasts to show the whole school,” Terry said. Typical classrooms have active boards with projectors and special pens to allow teachers to go over lessons in a whole new way. Windows have over-hanging shades and

there are energy-saving lights that conserve. On the third day of classes this year, Terry planned a special assembly for students to mark the importance of the new school. He invited a motivational speaker who told the students to never give up, encourage others and do their best. Terry coordinated the speaker’s message with his own yearly talk about the rules and goals for Briarwood. “I want to send this message out that this place is a gift,” he said. “And we want to take care of it, because it has to be here for 50 years like our last school.”

SPEEA members strongly reject contract presented on Sept. 13, put raises at or below the rate of inflation, significantly increased employees’ share of medical costs, eliminated the pension for future employees and were sprinkled with language that allowed Boeing to change important provisions at any time, according to SPEEA. Boeing typically does not comment on labor negotiations. The union’s Red Shirt Wednesdays continued this week in Renton, Everett and Seattle and and won’t end until negotiations are concluded. Dan Snyder, a technical designer at Boeing’s production plant in Renton, was out picketing Wednesday with several dozen other workers. “Well, I think a lot of SPEEA folks are pretty upset. The company’s making record profits and they want to gut our contract and give us hardly anything,” he said. Snyder said he feels that SPEEA has community support. He said the community was supportive in 2000, when the union went on strike. “I think we got the support; I’m pretty sure we do. We’re not militant folks, we just want a fair contract. That’s the bottom line here,” he said

Contract talks resumed this week between Boeing and the union representing Boeing’s engineers and technical workers after the initial company contract offer was overwhelmingly rejected. “Boeing negotiators acknowledged the overwhelming rejection of their contract offers and modified their positions on a couple of members’ issues,” said Bill Dugovich, spokesman for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace. Votes tallied Monday showed engineers in the Professional Unit rejected the offer by 9,770 to 454. Workers in the Technical Unit rejected the offer by 5,327 to 154. Votes were a straight reject or accept the offers; there was no strike authorization on the ballots. “We hope the vote results clear away the nonsense and allow us to begin substantive negotiations,” said Ray Goforth, executive director, said in a union press release just after the results were released. “Until now, meaningful discussions have eluded us because the Boeing negotiating team was convinced they understood the

Charles William Jensen
Charles Jensen passed away at the age of 82 on September 11, 2012 in Renton, WA at home surrounded by his family. He was preceded in death by his parents Ann and Walter Jensen, and brother, Walter Jensen. Charles is survived by his wife Joan Jensen with whom he shared 59 years of marriage and his seven children including sons Bill (Sandi) Jensen and Sam Jensen and daughters Linda (Mickey Shattow) Jensen, Carol (Scott) Rose, Marge (Mike) McVeigh, Sarah Jensen, and Betsy (Joe) Pendleton. He was the proud grandfather to Cody and Shana Jensen, Genevieve and Madeleine Shattow, Terra and Max Rose, and Ryan, Jack and Anna Pendleton and great grandfather to Justus and Mason. He is also survived by his brother Warren, his wife Dorothy, and his sister-in-law Joyce Jensen. Charles was born in Duluth, Minnesota on June 24, 1930. After graduating from Duluth Central High School, he entered the Navy. Following his service, he attended the University of Minnesota and then later attended Purdue University for his Masters in Electrical Engineering. During his career, he worked mainly at the Bendix Corporation in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Boeing in Seattle,Washington with a focus on communication systems. His projects included the radio designs for the first experimental moon landing and for the lunar rovers on subsequent Apollo missions and work on the communication systems for Air Force One and on the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). He also worked at Peach Mountain Radio Observatory doing Radio Astronomy where he studied pulsars, quasars, and sun spots and storms for the University of Michigan. One of his favorite experiences was working abroad for the Boeing Company, where he and Joan spent two years living near Stuttgart, Germany. After his retirement in 1991, he and Joan enjoyed several trips to Europe and South and Central America including a cruise along the Panama Canal. His brothers Walter and Warren and their wives accompanied them on many of the trips. Charles was known for his integrity, intelligence, strong work ethic and sense of humor. He enjoyed being a tease and matching wit with family and friends. He excelled at cards and games, including bridge, backgammon, cribbage, and euchre and spent many hours playing with family and friends. While living in Ann Arbor, MI, he was a member of the TriCounty Terriers and played euchre competitively. His passions included woodworking, gardening and “puttering around the house”, but mostly he enjoyed spending time with his family. He was proud of his family and enjoyed their successes and was always ready to lend a helping hand whenever he could. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service for Charles will take place at Tahoma National Cemetery at 11:00 am on Friday, October 5, 2012. This will be followed by a “Celebration of Life” at The Barrel Room at Vino at the Landing (800 North 10th Place, Suite E, Renton) from 1 – 3 pm. Remembrances can be made to the King County Parks Legacy Program in honor of the many hours Charles and Joan spent walking along the Cedar River Trail in Renton. 684432

he will of the people is a powerful concept, used by politicians and other elected officials to give legitimacy to their agendas. Because of that, there’s a high standard to invoke that will. We don’t think that a poll of 500 registered voters in Public Hospital District 1, the owner of the Valley Medical Center, meets that standard. The hospital district commission hired a polling company to conduct a phone survey in September to get general impressions about hospital care at Valley Medical Center. Also asked were questions about the year-old affiliation between Valley Medical and UW Medicine and how Valley Medical is governed. Commission President Dr. Paul Joos invoked those results in arguing for a legal challenge to the Strategic Alliance. His authority to even commission the survey has been questioned. We are not faulting the opinions expressed by the responders. You can disagree with someone, but their opinions are never wrong. Nor do we have any reason to believe the survey wasn’t administered using accepted polling methods. But the issues raised in the poll are complex, not easily answered with a simple yes or no. Take, for example, the question: Should the hospital pay down some of its debt? Seventy-one percent answered yes. Yes, paying down debit is a worthy goal, unless it means the hospital wouldn’t have the cash to pay bills or maintain a cash reserve. Put in family terms, would you use up a big chunk of savings to pay off credit-card debt all at once if it meant not paying the utility bill or putting food on the table? So we find fault in a survey that didn’t give those responding enough information to offer an informed opinion on issues that strike at the future of Valley Medical Center and on an affiliation that went through an extensive public process and intense legal reviews.
I
t isn’t good policy nor in the public’s interest to base decisions on a 20-minute conversation by telephone with 500 voters with various levels of understanding of the Strategic Alliance. That’s 0.00357 percent of the district’s 140,000 voters. To see a stronger statement of public will, look at the 38 percent turnout in a vote in August that led to preserving the Cedar River library. And we are faulting a survey that has a political purpose, from three members who hold the majority vote of the hospital commission. The questions seem to come from the playbook of the two commissioners, Dr. Aaron Heide and Anthony Hemstad, who voted against forming the alliance, and now Joos. Without naming him, the poll asked whether it was time for the hospital CEO (Rich Roodman) to go, since he has served in that position for more than 25 years. Roodman has been a target for years by some members of the commission. Perhaps not knowing of that controversy – nor understanding that Roodman is one of the key reasons for Valley’s success – 68 percent of the respondents agreed it’s time to think about new leadership. We walk lightly here, too. Joos, Hemstad and Heide hold the majority vote by virtue of being elected to their posts. Fellow commissioners Carolyn Parnell and Sue Bowman continue to question why there is this continuing assault on the alliance. Maybe someone should ask, scientifically: Are you willing to pay your tax dollars or patient fees for a protracted legal dispute to answer a question already answered: Is the Strategic Alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine legal?

Letters to the editor Debate West Hill annexation against backdrop of dignity, respect Before residents of the West Hill community this fall is the question of whether to approve annexation of our unincorporated King County neighborhoods into the City of Renton. I’ll be voting “for.” Even so, among all the arguments I’ve heard, whether pro or con, I’ve found nothing that represents a distinctly faith-based position. The foundation for all Christian reflection on public policy questions is love – not the human kind with strings attached but the unconditional God kind that leads to dignity and justice for all people. I find this principle as helpful in reflecting on local questions as on statewide and national issues. West Hill is a richly diverse community, not just culturally but socio-economically. Skyway households at the top of the hill tend to be lower-income. As one travels down the hill, these steadily give way to higher-income “view homes.” Rainier Avenue South at the bottom of the hill represents more than just a main drag. It’s the local dividing line between “mere” prosperity and waterfront wealth. Among the questions I’ve heard discussed “taxes” and “public safety services” (fire and police) – usually in the context of “what I stand to lose or gain” – rise to the top of citizen concerns. What I have yet to hear is the question, “What do those with less privilege and power need and how can I help?” Skyway once supported a vibrant small-business community. Over years of steady decline under King County’s jurisdiction the neighborhood
today is known more for headline shootings. Early in the Genesis account Cain asks, rhetorically, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” The Divine response – “Yes!” – thunders through the whole Biblical narrative and into our own lives, challenging us to grow beyond animalinstinct “What’s in it for me and mine?” questions to a more fully human “How can I serve others – even when it’s not always in my self-interest?” A “yes” vote to annexation would be no magic cure for the ills of our West Hill neighborhoods. It might, however, signal to local leaders that the status quo is unacceptable and that privileged people share responsibility for, and stand in solidarity with, their less powerful brothers and sisters.

Everyone deserves chance to get married As a little girl, I worried that I would fall in love with a non-Catholic. I was taught the Catholic Church would say “no” to that marriage - unless my intended converted to Catholicism. We could still get a marriage license filed with the state, but there would be no Mass or sacrament of marriage for me. By the time I met the love of my life, a Presbyterian, the Church had become more flexible. So on May 25, 1974, I married Neil Brown at Christ the King Catholic Church. That was such a memorable day for my whole [ more letters page 7 ]

LETTERS [ letters from page 6 ] family! We are still together after 38 years. I would have been so upset if anyone had told me, “No, you cannot marry Neil.” Because of the separation of church and state that is guaranteed by the Constitution of this great nation, religious organizations will always be able to say “no” to a marriage. But my gay son does not have the other option I had. He cannot get a marriage license that validates his love and commitment. The government is saying “no” to him. He can only have a “domestic partnership.” I never thought as my son was growing up that someday he would fall in love and get a “domestic partnership.” I hoped that someday he would fall in love and get married. I still do. Please vote to approve Referendum 74. It means so much to our family.

When is a contract not a contract? The early retiree health insurance offer to SPEEA from Boeing management is absurd. In it, employees are offered a ‘non-contractual contract’, where the company can unilaterally change or cancel important benefits at any time. Who would buy a car from a dealer with a sales contract that allowed the dealer to take back the wheels and cancel the warranty at a whim? Would Boeing buy parts and supplies under such and arrangement? Would anyone? Would you?
Two Renton elementary schools have been recognized for continuous student achievement by the state’s Elementary and Secondary Act granted by the U.S. Department of Education. Benson Hill and Kennydale elementary schools performed in the top 10 percent on state reading and mathematics tests for the past three years.
The schools have been recognized by the state’s education office as “High-Progress Reward Schools” for sustained improvements in student achievement on state mathematics and reading tests. They are among two percent of schools statewide recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

A Renton man was arrested for destroying several of his fiance’s electronic items Sept. 18. Police responded to several reports of a woman screaming. They contacted the 24-year-old man and he said the two started fighting because of smoking. He admitted to throwing his fiance’s iPhone against the wall and breaking it. He said she then threw his laptop on the ground. He said she also threw his phone on the ground. Both were broken. This angered him, so he grabbed her iPad and smashed it on the rocks outside their apartment. The 20-year-old woman admitted that the man didn’t hit her but he did grab her arm several times. She said she only threw his phone on the ground because she was trying to call 911 and couldn’t figure out how to use it. She also said the man had previously broken two of her cell phones in fights. Police arrested the man for domestic assault.

Police Blotter
A Federal Way man was arrested after being caught on the street with burglary tools and acting suspiciously Sept. 24. Police responded to calls of a man hiding in the bushes and walking through properties near the 2100 block of Northeast 12th Street to find the 26-year-old man walking on the side of the road wearing entirely black clothing and black latex gloves. The officer recognized the man from earlier incidents and asked him if he was out prowling cars, since he had a history of breaking into vehicles and homes. The man said he was hiding in bushes while waiting for a friend to pick him up. When asked, the man opened his backpack to show its contents to the officer. It contained wire cutters, bolt cutters and pliers. The officer handcuffed the man when he reached for a bulge in his pocket. The bulge turned out to be a springloaded knife. The officer also found electrical tape, several small screw drivers, a punch and wire in the man’s pockets. Police arrested the man for possession of a dangerous weapon and possession of burglary tools. On the way to jail the man continued to insist his buddy was picking him up and even said the friend was following the police car. When the officer pulled over to let the friend catch up, the vehicle behind them was a white limo and not the friend.

breast cancer awareness
There’s no time to lose Basics of breast health
Cheryl Shaw
COMMENTARY
Every week, more than 100 women in Washington state are diagnosed with breast cancer. Being diagnosed with this disease is as scary as you can imagine. I would know. Two years ago, I was diagnosed. Because I had the unending support of my family, a great job with a compassionate staff, health insurance and – most importantly – an early diagnosis, I was fortunate. For far too many women – and men - in our community, this is not the case. I hear these stories every day. I hear about a woman in Renton, a single parent who received a breast-cancer diagnosis. Too sick to work full time, it is a challenge to just keep a roof over her daughter’s head, let alone afford her cancer treatments. A friend in Bellevue shared a story about her cousin who, lacking health insurance, couldn’t afford to pay for breast-cancer screenings. She has just been diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer. When I hear these stories it touches me personally, and it reinforces the urgency of Komen Puget Sound’s mission. Women and families in our community are hurting today. We need to stop this madness, provide the support that they need today and find a cure for breast cancer now. Lives are at stake. There is no time to lose. All of us at Komen Puget Sound bring this personal sense of urgency to the work we do every day, as we have for nearly 20 years. Ko-
men Puget Sound is the single largest provider of breast cancer services to women in Washington state and the largest private provider of free mammograms to low income women. Last year, Komen-funded mammograms resulted in a breast cancer diagnosis for over 240 women in our community. Our Komen Patient Assistance fund provided financial assistance to more than 500 local, low-income breast-cancer patients, covering their basic needs while they undergo treatment. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, I am even more mindful of all that still needs to be done. Too many of us have lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend to breast cancer. While we at Komen certainly had our share of setbacks early this year, the setbacks have only strengthened our sense of urgency. We refuse to be distracted. There is too much work to do and too many women who rely on our support. Most importantly many of our donors, sponsors and volunteers understand our urgency and continue to help during this critical time. But it is clear that we need increased support to ensure that every woman faced with breast cancer is not a victim of the setbacks we have experienced. Together we can win our fight and end breast cancer forever. To learn more about Komen Puget Sound and our mission, please visit us online at komenpugetsound.org. And please do so today. There’s no time to lose.

Every week, 100 Washington women are diagnosed with breast cancer, which continues to be the secondmost 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. Although this disease is more common in women over the age of 40, younger women can and do get breast cancer as well. If you are over 40 years old, have a mammogram. The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and Susan G. Komen all agree that women age 40 and older should have mammograms every one to two 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. 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. 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. You should know that most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Only five to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Other common misperceptions about breast cancer risk include underwire bras, abortion, plastics, deodorant use, breast implants, fertility drugs, hair dyes and trauma to the breast. Today, there are nearly three million breast-cancer survivors living in the United States. And I am one of them. If you have ever seen our Race for the Cure Survivor’s Parade, you would see many survivors living happy and full lives 30 years after their diagnosis or longer. 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.

The team averages about 50 people each year and during the 12 years, they’ve had about 300 individual women. “The paddling team is a very close-knit group of women,” said Alicia Supernavage, director of Team Survivor Northwest
via email. “The sport of dragon-boating is more about teamwork than brute strength.” “This allows women of all ages, all levels of recovery and fitness to work together to paddle well. The team is very much a support group for one another but not in the traditional sense, sitting around a room and talking.” The races, about four or five, happen in
the summer, but there are other opportunities with other non-cancer boat clubs to practice during the winter. Thomas’ new passion had her paddling all last winter. She’s been with the sport for two years now. Her team practices for about an hour and a half in Lake Washington off Leschi twice a week on Saturday and Tuesday nights. “The cancer boat itself, Survivor SAKE team, it lifts us; it encourages us,” Thomas said. “You never hear anybody discouraged; they’re always smiling and laughing.” There is no talk of canNancy Thomas cer on the boat, Thomas said. If members have questions and want to discuss them then that kind of conversation usually takes place off the boat. She’s watched team members care for one another after surgeries, rejoice together at good news and develop a close camaraderie. “I have found – I’m not here to brag about myself, but – cancer survivors are the strongest, most optimistic, most supportive, cheerful ever women that there are around,” Thomas said. Paddling teams have raced locally as well as in Taiwan and Canada. Thomas now calls paddling a lifestyle, more than just a workout and an accom-

But to overcome cancer three times took the support of her doctors at Group Health, a very strong family, a really strong belief in God, her strong-willed mind and drive to accomplish and finally the support of cancer organizations, she said. She advises anyone who’s been recently diagnosed to get to it early. Thomas had breast screenings because her mother Irene Taylor had breast cancer, but survived it. If you have apprehension about a diagnosis get a second opinion she says, do research and don’t give up. “A positive attitude is what reigns on the boat,” Thomas said. “It isn’t just cancer society, it’s life.

Funding research for hope By Chandini Portteus
You may be well aware of vitamin D’s part in building better bones, but did you know it might also help in prevention of breast cancer? Unfortunately, many of us in the Northwest are not getting enough vitamin D. Overweight individuals are at increased risk of low vitamin D levels, possibly because excess fat absorbs and holds onto vitamin D, making it unavailable to the body. With funding from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Anne McTiernan, M.D, Ph.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, has embarked on an important new study investigating vitamin D insufficiency and weight, two interrelated risk factors for
breast cancer. Many studies have shown that being overweight can result in an increase in risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Vitamin D may 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 creation of cancer in laboratory experiments. Dr. McTiernan’s study enrolled 218 women 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 also worked closely with a specialist to develop and maintain a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program. Enrollees were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of vitamin D or a placebo pill with no active ingredient. “If positive results follow,
it can translate into clinical and public health practice, and may provide women and physicians with additional options for reducing risk for breast cancer,” says Dr. McTiernan. Susan G. Komen is the largest non-government funder of breast cancer research in the world. Komen has invested over $2 billion into research and community health in its 30 years, providing $58 million in new research funding for

WHAT IS PROBATE?
Probate is the legal process that determines how a deceased person’s assets will be distributed. The Superior Court has jurisdiction to approve the decedent’s Will, and to appoint the person who has the responsibility to administer the estate. In the process, the rights of the estate’s beneficiaries, as well as the decedent’s creditors and taxing authorities are protected. The financial aspects of the decedent’s life are “wrapped up” and the assets are distributed in accordance with the decedent’s wishes. Protect your right to distribute your estate as you intend in a cost-effective manner. Consult an estate planning attorney today.

13 trustees oversee Valley Medical [ AllianCE from page 1] then Joos was elected to an open seat on the board and joined with Hemstad and Heide to press the governance issue. They maintain the elected hospital district commission in approving the alliance turned over management of Valley Medical Center to an un-elected Board of Trustees. The 13-member alliance Board of Trustees includes the five hospital district commissioners and eight members appointed by Dr. Paul Ramsey, CEO of UW Medicine. Following the vote Monday, Joos said the three commissioners have tried to resolve issues, short of taking legal action. However, he said, “UW Medicine has been completely unwilling to negotiate,” he said. Earlier this summer, UW Medicine addressed the questions that hospital district commissioners raised. Attorneys from the state Attorney General’s Office who represent the University of Washington met with the commission’s attorney Bruce Disend and Phil Talmadge, a former state Supreme Court justice who also questioned the alliance’s legality. In a letter June 29 to the five commissioners, Ramsey wrote, “This work has confirmed our previous conclusion that the Strategic Alliance is legal and is structured to further our shared missions of improving the health of the public in this era of rapid change in healthcare.” At the time, Disend said in an interview with the Renton Reporter: “I guess you could say there has been
dialogue.” The Renton Reporter attempted to reach Disend for additional comment. In an interview Tuesday, Ramsey said he has met with commissioners or sat with Joos on “a number of occasions” to talk about the “key needs” of Valley Medical. He pointed out the agreement to form the Strategic Alliance “was developed very carefully” by attorneys for the hospital district and the UW before it was signed. Ramsey agreed with the concerns raised by Lisa Jensen, chairwoman of the alliance Board of Trustees, about the survey and whether it was legally authorized. “Even though Dr. Joos is president of this body, he was an unauthorized agent in negotiating this agreement and any vendor who knowingly deals with an unauthorized agent Dr. Paul Joos does so at their own risk,” she said Monday night. Jensen also expressed the trustees’ concerns to the commission Monday night about “the substance of the survey as it contains potentially illegal and inappropriate questions. “It also shows a lack of respect for the public by asking opinions without sharing all relevant information,” she said, including a question about early repayment of the hospital district’s debt. The survey was done by Alison Peters Consulting. Alison Peters presented the results of the survey at
Monday’s commission meeting. “I am happy to say I will stand behind the survey any day,” she said in an interview Tuesday. She said she contacted Joos after receiving the letter from the Board of Trustees; he assured her the contract was legal. She also had the resolution adopted by the commission in July authorizing the survey. She said she respect’s Jensen’s opinion but there were few of the indicators that the questions were leading. She said she consulted with Joos, Hemstad and Bowman in writing the questions. However, Bowman said Tuesday she has never met nor talked with Peters. Bowman added Peters left her a voice mail but she didn’t respond. Survey results show the public supports the Strategic Alliance. Joos said the commission’s lawyers will “push for an early court decision.” The resolution the board adopted spells out two options: • Ask a judge to rule that the commission did not have the power to turn over its legislative responsibilities to an un-elected board. • Obtain an injunction to prevent the Board of Trustees from exercising the elected commissioners’ responsibilities. The resolution also asks that the Board of Trustees cover the hospital district’s legal costs. In the interim, Joos said, “we are willing to sit down and try to resolve these issues, rather than taking a risk the courts will impose a governance structure neither UW Medicine nor the commission supports.”

A nose for the goal
Renton’s Asia Brisco is off to a hot start, tied for the league lead in goals
By ADAM McFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
At 4-1, the Renton girls soccer team has already topped last year’s three wins. The Indians have been potent on offense too, scoring 35 goals. Much of the early success has been because of freshman Asia Brisco, a bubbly, confident forward with a nose for the goal. “She’s a prolific goal scorer,” said Renton coach Andrea Anderson. “That’s rare to have a player like that, that their main focus is getting the ball and scoring, not just shooting, but scoring.” Brisco, 14, has 17 goals through six games this season. She also plays club soccer for Crossfire. Brisco is brimming with confidence after her quick start to the high school season. “I’m fast, I’m strong and I’m clever,” she said of her attributes on the field. “My mentality is looking to score all the time.” Anderson said Brisco’s level of focus and intensity has also helped an Indians team that has many players new to soccer. One of the players that’s not new, senior midfielder Justice Perry, has been key to Brisco’s success. Perry made the first all-Seamount team last season and has six goals this season - including a hat trick against Tyee Sept. 11. “They play really well together and feed off of each other,” said Renton assistant coach Kim Irby. “It’s nice to have a player like Asia for Justice to feed the ball up to.” Sophomore Sydney Sept, senior Shara Tidwell and senior Stephanie Rivas have been holding down the defense. Renton had only allowed one goal before allowing nine

against Lindbergh Sept. 27. With 22 players, Anderson is hoping the group can grow even more and field a JV team for the first time she can remember next year. She said a big part of the surge in numbers is because the team’s eight seniors have been spreading the word around school. “Those girls have been through when there really wasn’t interest in the program and they’ve been a big part of building the interest,” Anderson said. Now younger players like Brisco are hoping to take the baton and help the program continue its growth. “It’s great to be a part of building

County harvests unhealthy trees at park The selective timber harvest on a portion of King County’s McGarvey Park Open Space has been completed, but King County Parks isn’t done with its work to restore this long-neglected forestland, according to a county press release. A contractor hired by King County has completed harvesting poor quality
maple, dying alder and cottonwood from about 77 acres of the 400-acre property, east of Renton. King County will use the proceeds from the harvested timber to improve forest health on public lands.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice! ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses. Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile. They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab. Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now! SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.
“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.” - Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient
Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...
Our risk free consultation will show you how.
