Fairwood Elementary School will replace a section of its roof this summer to adhere to district safety standards. As part of the 2006 bond reallocation of $15.9 million intended to pay for the new Covington Elementary School, the roof maintenance project, estimated to cost $650,000, was one of six highly prioritized by the Citizens Bond Review Committee (CBRC). “We were getting roof leaks, which causes deterioration of the roofing and ceilings,” said Fred Long, director of facility services at the Kent School District. “When the board decided to reallocate those monies … we decided what (were) the highest priority projects we had on the maintenance list, and that

The milkmen are moving to a new home. After 93 years at the same location along West Valley Highway just north of South 277th Street, Smith Brothers Farms has decided to move to a larger dairy production facility a few miles to the east in Kent. “We love our old farm but we’ve simply outgrown it,” said Dustin Highland, director of revenue operations for Smith Brothers Farms. “We’re excited to put the stamp on our new facility and call it home.” Office workers recently moved to the new site at 26401 79th Ave. S. The milkmen, trucks and production facility are all expected to be at the new site by the end of June. The company employs 125.

It’s been three years since the stabbing death of Seth Frankel, a city of Kent employee and Auburn resident. The trial of William L.

Defense attorneys have been granted several requests from King County Superior Court judges to continue the trial date. Phillip has waived his right to a speedy trial. Prosecutors allege that Phillip, a former boyfriend of the woman Frankel dated and lived with, drove to Auburn to kill Frankel because he was angry that someone else was dating the woman. Phillip remains in custody at the county jail in Kent.
Kent Police arrested three Kent residents for investigation of thirddegree malicious mischief in connection with graffiti tagging that has plagued Kent’s Valley and East Hill areas for months. Ryan Faulkner, Jordan Holm and Kaylee Hance have collectively been charged with 77 counts of third-degree malicious mischief, according to a May 9 Kent Police media release. On March 26, a Kent officer received information about possible taggers vandalizing a large area of Kent. Upon investigation, the officer identified that three individuals who use the monikers “YUK�, “4HED�, “MOLD�, “BZAR�, and “DMT.�
Police first started to see these tags appear on public and private property in 2012. On April 9, Kent Police were notified that Covington Police, having an active investigation into the same graffiti tags, was serving a search warrant on an individual’s home. Kent’s graffiti removal program also obtained several photos of these monikers over time from local businesses who were victims of the vandalism. The graffiti damages have created much financial hardship and frustration among private property owners. “These arrests are a great example of residents, local businesses, and Kent and Covington Police working together to protect the quality of life in our community,�
said Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas. “Graffiti vandalism will not be tolerated in Kent and we will continue to make enforcement of property vandalism crimes and removal of graffiti a top priority.� Since 2008, the Kent Police Department has worked with other city agencies to develop an aggressive graffiti prevention program. It includes a graffiti hotline for reporting damage or providing tips on taggers, a community response team to help clean up graffiti, and enhanced penalties for persons caught “tagging.� The penalties can include a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. Residents can report graffiti incidents by calling the city at 253-856-GRAF.

www.kentreporter.com [ DAIRY from page 1 ] the Kent-based Carpinito Brothers purchased the nearly 240 acres. “Our plans are to farm the property and use the facilities for storage,” said Mike Carpinito, owner of the popular produce market along Central Avenue in Kent and part of a 50-year family business. “We farm on three sides of it (Smith Brothers) already. We’ll grow vegetables, pumpkins, corn and cabbage - the hand-harvested vegetables. We’ll eventually farm all of it in time.” The dairy cows left the farm in 2001 for a Smith Brothers-owned farm in Royal City near Moses Lake. But in 2006 the Federal government changed milk producer/handler regulations, so the company sold the Royal City farm and cows and now gets milk from select co-op Washington state dairy farms. The new headquarters doesn’t sit on a farm. But the building features 25-foot high ceilings compared to about 10 feet at the current site. And everything sits under one roof rather than spread out on the farm. “We’ll have the capacity for at least twice as much milk for storage,” Highland said.
Got milk? Jason Grinolds and the rest of the Smith Brothers Farms milkmen and milkwomen will work out of the company’s longtime location along West Valley Highway until late June before moving to a new headquarters a couple of miles to the east in Kent on 79th Avenue South. STEVE HUNTER, Kent Reporter Smith Brothers continues to deliver milk and other products to 40,000 homes as well as numerous school districts, coffee stands, restaurants and a few small grocery stores. “We’re moving to a new facility to help better fit our needs and to provide a sustainable future for the company, our employees, our customers and the communities we serve,” Highland said. “We can assure all of our current and potential customers that the move will not affect the wide range and high quality of services
Smith Brothers Farms has come to be known for during the last 93 years of being in business.” The company features 50 vehicles that deliver from farm to home within 48 hours. Smith Brothers delivers from Olympia north to Marysville and from Bremerton east to North Bend. “Business is going great,” Highland said. “We’re signing up a lot of new customers.” Benjamin Smith started the milk company in 1920 at its current loca-

tion with one cow and a few customers. He named the company after his two sons, Dan and Howard. Benjamin Smith also had five daughters. Highland is part of the fourth generation of the Smith family involved in the business. His mother is one of Dan Smith’s four daughters. “My middle name is Smith,” Highland said. The landmark cow that stood for years at the south end of the property disappeared for a while last year before being found up
near Kentlake High School. Highland said the cow often became the target for high school pranks. He said the cow will be put up at the new site, but it might be inside the building rather than outside. As far as the new property owners, when the Smith family decided to seek a new location, they asked Mike Carpinito if he wanted the land. The two families have been friends for years. The Carpinito’s even lease some of the Smith property to grow their crops. “We were pretty excited about the opportunity to acquire something that big alongside of us,” said Carpinito, who also recently purchased the Schuler Farm in Auburn along the West Valley Highway on the south side of South 277th Street. “We are very happy that the land will stay in good hands with a local farmer in the Kent Valley,” Highland said. Smith Brothers looked at moving to other cities, but decided to stay in Kent. “We did look at other potential options, but our first option was always to stay in Kent in order to remain close to the community that we love and have had the pleasure of being a neighbor with during the past 93 years,” Highland said.
[ ROOF from page 1 ] was one of them because it was causing us the most problems.” The approximately 4,000-square-foot section of the roof to be replaced supports gas pack heating units raised about four inches off the roof. Over time, the material underneath the units deteriorated, causing a leaking problem for faculty, staff and students at Fairwood Elementary. “It’s leaked off and on for a long time,” said Patricia Hoyle, principal of Fairwood Elementary School. “It’s definitely impacting students and their safety.” According to Hoyle, main traffic areas like hallways, smaller classrooms and office spaces have been affected by the deterioration of the roof and that discolored ceiling tiles, whether currently experiencing leaking issues or not, are concerning. The district also plans to replace the existing heating units and construct a mechanical building around them to keep them dry. The original roof at Fairwood Elementary was constructed when the school was built in 1969 and replaced in 1987. The current project is to begin in June and finish before the start of the new school year.

PERSPECTIVE
“Should property owners along SE 256th help pay for street improvements?”
Michelle Conerly
?
Question of the week:
Multiple media sources last week reported Issaquah High School students once again hosting May Madness, an online tournament where male students vote for the sexiest female student. As a former high school student in that district, initially I wanted to post something sarcastic about our rival school. But as I continued to think about the issue, one alarming thing kept moving to the forefront of my mind: where was the indignant uproar from the female students demanding respect from their male counterparts? Where were the protest signs saying, “I am more than my looks”? Ladies, where was your self-respect? Maybe if they had known what this kind of behavior could lead to they would have spoken up. Maybe if they had peeled back the layers and analyzed the situation, these ladies would have seen how inherently wrong this competition is and say something. Maybe if someone had explained how dangerous things like this can get, they would have rallied or written a petition. Something. Anything. But they said nothing – not an angry word spoken in protest. Well, let me tell you exactly what silence means in our society. A 16-year-old girl was at a party in Steubenville, Ohio. She got drunk. She blacked out. She was sexually assaulted. A clear case of rape, right? Wrong. The defense attorney for one of the defendants argued that because “she didn’t affirmatively say no,” this young lady consented to having sexual relations with the young men on trial. Growing up, I was taught that yes means yes, and no means no. No does not mean yes or keep going – silence does not mean maybe or yes either. So when did the

Kent’s 256th LID is unfair
Letters policy
The recent article “Kent City Council searches for 256th Street funding options” (published May 10) is onesided with no attempt to report the opinions of the tax-paying citizens that would be burdened with this unfair Local Improvement District (LID) assessment.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Beware: An LID can happen to you BY MARY CROSS For the Kent Reporter
Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) are the city of Kent’s out-ofdate and unfair method of funding road improvements. They use LIDs to provide some of the finances needed to pay for road improvements. Beware – an LID can happen to
anyone in Kent who owns property. The city of Kent can come out of the blue to penalize property owners for being just that – property owners. It seems that our property taxes are not enough to pay for the roads right outside and near our homes. In the Kent Reporter on April 19 the headline read: “Kent property owners stop city’s planned fee to help pay for SE 256th Street project”.
Many of us read the article with pleasure because for the third time since 2009 – a supermajority of property owners within the district protested – and this time divested the city’s LID 364. In this case, “divested” means that the city’s plans to assess us were defeated by a protest vote of at least 60 percent of the assessment value. On May 6, at the Public Works
the last two years with higher property taxes largely due to the huge increase in the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority fee assessment. All of this during a time of recession in our economy. With much thought, and considering the community we live in and work in, we decided to sign the letter protesting LID funding for 256th. We simply believe that the costs of this project should be shared with a larger group of businesses and property owners. For instance, why not double or even triple the included LID area? Why not extend the LID area directly west towards Benson Highway to the shopping centers, the really large property owners, and maybe even the Kent School District (Kent-Meridian High School). These businesses and schools would benefit from the road improvement at least as much [ more LETTERS page 7 ]
Committee (PWC) meeting, Councilwoman Elizabeth Albertson said that she would like the city to form another LID and force us to go through collecting the signatures again because she thinks it is unfair that we divested LID 364. Unbelievable. Albertson inferred in the Kent Reporter on April 19 that an out-ofstate apartment owner was responsible for the defeat of the LID on SE 256th. Nothing could be further from the truth. There was an overwhelming protest against it by all the private property owners as [ more CROSS page 8 ]

www.kentreporter.com as our small business. After all, we are several miles away from the 277th Street corridor and were unresisting participants in that LID many years ago. I think it is simply shameful for some City Council members to pass judgment upon the hard-working, tax-paying citizens who happen to disagree with their uninformed opinions. The homeowners (some lifelong Kent citizens) that have led this protest have worked extremely hard and followed all of the rules regarding LID protests. Now it seems as if the council is not willing to not abide by its own rules. – Tom Reichert
People have spoken; council refuses to listen The Kent City Council needs a class on Civics 101. When the property owners near 256th got together, following the council’s rules, and submitted the required number of signatures (for the umpteenth time) to stop the Local Improvement District (LID) assessment, the council didn’t like it and decided that the rules don’t apply because they want to assess these few property owners with the burden of paying for that street’s improvement. The council set up the rules for property owners to collect the petition signatures needed within a short amount of time – and then, when the required

signatures were obtained, the council pulled a fast one. They decided that they didn’t like the result so they pulled the rug out from under the property owners. This kind of governance is reminiscent of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The council knows that everyone in Kent uses 256th but they want to punish the property owners right next to this street with the full cost of street repairs there. The council has a ready solution at their disposal: raise the business and occupation (B&O) tax and close the exemptions and loopholes for big businesses like Boeing. This ploy of forming another LID for the same street improvement is an attempt by the council to wear down the petitioners. The property owners will have to sign yet another petition to protest this LID assessment. It’s now perfectly clear that the council would do just about anything to avoid making businesses that do the damage to our streets and roads pay to repair those streets and roads. Just how beholden is the council to Kent businesses? How many protest petitions are required for the council to do the right and honorable thing? If the council was truly functioning as a moral entity, it would stop this ridiculous idea of imposing LID assessments in spite of the fact that property owners played by the rules of petitioning and gathered the signatures; nevertheless, the council members ignored these

Special needs students in one classroom? Again, the administration is trying to combine the Cedar Valley Elementary Support Center to become K-6 due to low enrollment. This is a disappointing decision to make for our students with special needs. Our children are in the center because they need support and are guaranteed an individualized education. Putting children of such a diverse age range in a classroom with only one teacher and only a few paras is irresponsible educating or, at best, simply a lack of understanding . The district is federally mandated to supply their children a free education that is tailored to their individual needs. I’d like to see
a curriculum plan for how this is going to happen for a classroom of children ages 5-12. You would never see a general education class combined over more than two grades. How is it OK to make our children with special needs be in a classroom that spans seven grades? Instead of making this change, I challenge the Kent School District to resolve this problem. We have three Title I schools within three miles of each other. A solution could be to have a K-2 program at one school and a 3-6 program at another. There are probably many other solutions available, but putting all of our students with special needs
in one classroom makes absolutely no sense. The reason I am writing this letter is because of my son, Nate. He has a diagnosis of high-functioning autism. He transferred to Cedar Valley four years ago for kindergarten. He spent most of his day in the support center while getting some time with a paraeducator in the general education room. Slowly over the years he has become fully integrated into general education and will probably move out of the SC program and into the IP program. This is an achievement that I have dreamed of for so long. There is no way that he

well as the businesses and apartment owners. We were united in our protest against the city’s unfair assessment proposal. In the same article it states that there are 107 single-family homes, 1,224 apartments, 82 condos, 17 duplexes and nine commercial parcels. Then in another paragraph, it reads that there are 370 properties financially impacted by the SE 256th Street LID. Both these statements are misleading in that the city’s proposed assessment list targeted only 225 properties for an assessment of more than $2.04 million. That’s an average of $9,108.36. For private properties, the range ran from a low of $1,100 to a high of $10,108; a median assessment of $5,224. This low number of properties,

225 to be assessed for this stretch of road – is the primary problem with the city of Kent’s plan – too few would be asked to pay for a road improvement that benefits thousands each day. But LIDs have always been a bad idea. And now with road construction costs having outpaced the rest of the economy – in part, due to the cost of petroleum products (used in paving materials), LIDs are an even worse idea for funding road improvements. Southeast 256th Street is not a residential street – it’s a main thoroughfare. And we believe that if the road is improved, the volume of traffic on it will only increase – along with the corresponding noise, dirt and pollution – and that the speed that people drive will only increase.

member of this committee, asked Tim LaPorte, city public works director, about the last traffic survey done on this road. We learned that there hasn’t been a traffic survey done since before the interchange was built with Highway 18. It is ludicrous that the city would be prepared to design and build a road – and bill us for the privilege – and they haven’t done a traffic survey in that many years. In the same PWC meeting, Albertson said “this is a social justice issue. Folks that are walking up and down on that road – who are living in those apartments – don’t have a voice, nor a vote in whether this street gets fixed except for by the seven of us (i.e., the Kent City Council).” She infers that we villainous property owners don’t care about our elderly and our children when we reject the LID.
In the courtroom, they are arguing for your silence to be taken as a yes, consenting and condoning all behavior done to you. So why, when there are so many platforms nowadays from which to raise your voices against sexism and exploitation, why would you choose silence, consenting to young men judging you based on looks and condoning all behavior done to you? Not only do we need to teach our young men that silence does not mean yes, we should simultaneously stress the importance of speaking up against issues like this to our young female generation. Because the only way to combat silence is with noise – lots of noise – enough noise to make changes to our disappointing society.

Brummel spent years locked away in regional and county jails in Washington and Oregon on drug-related charges, unable to shake his reckless ways, unable to stay clean. He had no one to turn to, nowhere to hide. “It’s very depressing,” Brummell said of his prison experience. “It gives you a chance to make an inner commitment to change. “I look back and see how a person doesn’t have anything realistic they would want to change to,” he said. “They don’t have a path, nothing to reach for. And that’s the way I was.” At a personal crossroads, Brummell, 49, recalls sitting in a King County Jail cell one day, staring into the cold eyes of a lengthy sentence for drug trafficking, when he had an epiphany. “The Holy Spirit came into my life, changed my

It seems that the city’s priorities are increasingly skewed to support business at the expense of the rest. To ask 224 property owners to pay over $2.04 million to improve a road is unfair. Other sources must be found. And we’re not just talking about the LID of SE 256th Street – but for all the roads within the city. After all, the city may launch an LID on any road – so beware.

THUNDERBIRDS SIGN CENTER EANSOR The Seattle Thunderbirds signed Scott Eansor to a Western Hockey League contract. Seattle general manager Russ Farwell announced the signing Monday for the Kentbased team. Eansor is a center/left wing from Denver who played for the Colorado Thunderbirds Tier 1 Minor Midget team last season. This is the same midget program that developed current T-Bird players Griffin Foulk and Danny Mumaugh. “I’m extremely excited to sign with the T-Birds. I am thankful for the opportunity to play in the WHL,” said Eansor in a T-Birds media release. “I came in and practiced with the team prior to playoffs last season. When I was here I loved the hockey atmosphere and the talent level of the team.” Seattle has signed seven players since last summer, including five who were selected in the 2012 Bantam Draft and one taken in the 2011 Bantam Draft.

With micro tears in his left hamstring, Abu Kamara of Kent-Meridian High School ran through the pain to advance to West Central District in the boys 300 and 110-meter hurdles at last week’s South Puget Sound League’s track and field meet at French Field. In order to prepare for the meet, Kamara sat out for nearly three weeks. Last Friday was his first race since the injury. He placed sixth in the 300 with a time of 40.58 seconds and third in the 110 in 14.45. After one more week of rest, Kamara’s hopes his leg heals enough to improve those times and he qualifies at district this weekend for the Class 4A state meet on May 24-25. Kentridge’s Kevin Hall has run pretty consistently all season long. Holding the number two slot in both the 110 (14.38) and 300 hurdles (38.53), he’s vying for the top spot in this week’s meet to advance to state. Bralen Westendorf, also of Kentridge, is no stranger to success in track and field. Named the SPSL North Division’s track athlete of the year, Westendorf hopes his hard work will pay off in the 100 and 300 hurdles and the 400 and 1,600 relays. Kent-Meridian is sending 23 competitors to districts while Kentridge is sending 14. Both schools have competitive relay teams, and know it’ll be a photo finish for whomever takes the top spot. A half dozen Kentlake school records fell at the SPSL meet while 12 athletes advanced to districts in individual events as well as two relays. Brandon Parks broke the record for javelin with a

Kentridge, Kentlake to compete in district fastpitch tournament REPORTER STAFF
The high school fastpitch softball teams from Kentridge and Kentlake will compete in the West Central District tournament on Friday and Saturday at Sprinker Field in Tacoma with shots at advancing to the Class 4A state tournament. Kentridge, the fifth seed out of the South Puget Sound League, hasn’t been to state since 2002. The Chargers finished second in the SPSL North regular season and earned a spot in the league tournament semifinal with wins over Puyallup and Rogers on the first day of the tournament last week before losing to Emerald Ridge
a new mark with a time of 50.82. Top league finishers for Kentwood included Brandon Stribling and Bailey Paladin in the 100 and 200, Terence Grady in 100 meter hurdles and discus, Mitchell Cox in javelin, Treyvon Floyd in high jump, Stribling in long jump, Amari Bradley in the 400 meters, Tessa Carlin in the 800 meters, Haley Larson in discus, Sara Roberts in javelin, Carly Horn and Brittany
Woke in high jump, and Sarah Toeaina in long jump and triple jump. Senior Beth Parrish won the pole vault for Kentwood with a height of 10-6. The Kentwood boys 400 relay of Derrick Bell, Ivan Semerenko, Paladin and Stribling finished second and broke the school record with a time of 42.65. The top three finishers in each event at districts will automatically be advanced to the state meet.
and Beamer on day two. In the first round of the district tournament, Kentridge will play Camas of the Greater St. Helens League. Kentlake, which earned the seventh seed into the district tournament, took two of its three games into extra innings in the league playoffs. First, the Falcons took Beamer to nine innings in the opening game only to lose 4-3, then handily defeated Thomas Jefferson 18-1 in the second game before narrowly losing to Puyallup 8-7 in eight innings in the third contest May 10. Kentlake plays the Greater St. Helens League No. 2 team in its opener Friday. Eight teams will advance to state from the district tournament. Tahoma and Mount Rainier also earned district berths out of the SPSL North. Other SPSL teams in the tourney include Puyallup, Beamer, Bethel and Rogers.
Kentridge and Kentwood will open the Class 4A baseball state tournament with games on Saturday. Kentwood’s roller coaster postseason is still on track as it plays Bothell at 10 a.m. at Everett Memorial Stadium in the regional round. Bothell was the third seed in the 4A KingCo baseball tournament then beat Ballard and Eastlake to punch its ticket to state and get into to the KingCo championship game May 10, losing 3-1 to Woodinville. Kentridge plays Richland at 1 p.m. at Richland High School. The Chargers earned a state berth with a 3-2 win over Gig Harbor in the West Central District tournament. After a narrow loss to Puyallup in the South Puget Sound League championship game – the same team Kentwood beat in the 2012 4A title game – the Conquerors punched their ticket to state with a 5-0 victory over Heritage in the first round of district May 7 and had a chance to get back to the district championship game. South Kitsap stood between Kentwood and the district title contest. While it was a matter of playing for seeding in the state bracket, the higher the place the better the draw, generally speaking. South Kitsap had Kentwood’s number, though, and knocked the Conks off 11-1 in five innings. Kentwood’s only run came early in the game when senior catcher Reese McGuire was able to score from first after the ball was fired past the first baseman into foul territory. Kentwood bounced back later that day, with a 9-4 victory over Skyview to secure the third seed out of the district into the state tournament. It wasn’t an easy win for the Conks, however, as they were down 4-2 before they exploded for seven runs in the seventh.

KOMEN PUGET SOUND
T
wenty years ago, gas was at $1.00 a gallon, a movie titled “Sleepless in Seattle” just premiered and a young mother named CJ Taylor-Day brought together a small group of friends and volunteers to establish the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Losing her mother to breast cancer at age 17, CJ was passionately committed to ensuring “no child should ever grow up without a mother because of breast cancer.” Since that beginning, Komen Puget Sound has grown to rank fifth out of 120 Komen affiliates nationally. As a result of this growth, the affiliate has been able to invest over $7 million into
medical research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. But the majority of the affiliate’s grants, over $19 million, have been invested right here in our community to fund breast health education, screening and treatment support. Komen Puget Sound continues to be the largest private provider of free mammogram support to low income and uninsured women. The Komen Patient Assistance Fund has provided thousands of breast cancer patients in our community with financial support for life’s basic needs, allowing them to continue their lifesaving treatments. Women like Kate B. from
Renton, Washington said: “I have been incredibly anxious because my treatments for breast cancer have meant missing work. I was SO thankful for the money I received from the patient assistance fund because it allowed us to catch up with my mortgage payments. Without the Komen fund, we would have faced the stress of possible foreclosure. I want to say thank you very much for your help.” The fight against breast cancer has come a long way in the last 20 years. Komen Puget Sound will continue this fight until Komen’s promise of a world without breast cancer becomes a reality.

But boy, was I wrong!” More than 3,000 women showed up in pouring rain for the first Race, more women that ever ran in a Seattle Race before. “Seeing all those people united together around breast cancer, this huge sea of pink, was so powerful! It made me cry,” says Tath. Jan was not only at the first Race for the Cure, but she also was responsible for organizing the whole race, as the Race Chair. “I attended my
first Komen Puget Sound meeting, and they asked who would like to chair the first Race for the Cure. I just raised my hand,” says Jan. “I was a runner back then, and I was really drawn to the idea of a race to benefit an important cause like breast cancer.”

“There is an atmosphere of joy and hope at the Race that is infectious,” says Jan. “When you are there, you find yourself among a happy community. The Seattle Center is this beautiful Tath chaired the first breast cancer Survivor’s park-like setting where you can feel you are Celebration at the Race. “It was so powerful away from everything. There is entertainment, to see so many breast cancer survivors in one room, nothing like that had ever been organized food, and sponsors giving things to everyone. People are smiling and walking around with in Seattle,” says Tath. “We were one large support group for each other. During the lunch, filled goodie bags. It is just a great day of fun! I’ve always enjoyed myself.” we asked every survivor to stand up. Then we asked first year survivors to sit back down. Then “One day, we will find a cure for breast cancer,” five year survivors were asked to sit down, then says Tath. “When that day comes, the very next 10 year survivors, and so on until there was thing a woman will hear after a breast cancer just one woman standing. When we asked her diagnosis is: ‘It’s OK, we now have a cure.’ I how long she has been a survivor, she told us 35 really do believe this is possible, because I have years. The whole room went crazy with applause seen how far we have come in the last 20 years.”

IT’S OKAY TO TALK ABOUT
CANCER
By Linda Ball Reporter newspapers
My favorite movie of all time is still the 1983 Best Picture winner, “Terms of Endearment,” starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger, Jeff Daniels, Danny DeVito and John Lithgow. The story centers on MacLaine’s character, Aurora Greenway, a widow, and her relationship with her daughter, Emma, played by Winger. Nicholson’s character, Garrett Breedlove, is a retired astronaut, a hardpartying lady’s man who eventually wins Aurora’s heart and vice-versa, in a very funny courtship. But it is Emma who steals our hearts, as she deals with her cheating husband, Flap (Daniels), and then discovers a lump in her armpit. For our Emma, who has three small children, it’s been caught too late. Other than this development, the movie really is a comedy. In one scene Emma is at lunch with her best friend, Patsy, and some of Patsy’s highbrow New York lady friends. These women all know that Emma has cancer, but they never say the word. Instead they skirt around the issue and make comments like how lucky her kids are to have such a wonderful mommy. After the lunch Emma is upset. When Patsy confronts her, she asks Emma, what do you want me to say or do? Emma says, “Tell them it’s all right. Tell them it ain’t so tragic. People DO get better! Tell them it’s okay to talk about the CANCER!” The next scene in the movie is hilarious, as a woman at a party comes up to Emma and says, “Patsy tells me you have cancer!” Patsy, standing nearby, hacks up an hors d’oeuvres when she hears this. Who knew that 28 years later I would get the diagnosis of breast cancer. Only, unlike Emma, I survived. Now that movie line has even more meaning to me. I find that some people are uncomfortable if I bring it up. Don’t be. It happens. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about one in eight. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about one in 36.
SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL TO SCREEN ‘DECODING ANNIE PARKER’ The Seattle International Film Festival will feature the true story of University of Washington geneticist Mary-Claire King and her world-changing discovery of the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. The special benefit screening will support the fight against breast cancer, and will be shown June 6 at 7 p.m. and June 8 at 1:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre in Seattle.
I have found that it has become a big part of who I am now. It’s not something to be ashamed of. At first I blamed myself – what did I do to bring this on? What didn’t I do that I should have? There is no good answer, other than that cancer has its own agenda. I’ve always exercised, and for the most part maintained a healthy diet, so I couldn’t understand why me?

On June 2, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, a 5K run/walk to raise money for breast cancer research.
Seventy-five percent of the money raised as a result of the race and fundraising associated with it, will stay in Puget Sound to fund screenings, education, and treatment support. The remaining 25 percent will fund global research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. It’s the least I can do, because I would very much like to see an end to this disease that robs so many women of years of their life while in treatment, or their entire life. It really sucks. But please know that talking about cancer to a survivor or even someone going through treatment is often what they need. Even though you can’t understand unless you’ve been through it yourself, lend a compassionate ear. Because it’s really okay to talk about the CANCER!

The film stars Helen Hunt and Samantha Morton and follows a 15-year war against this cruel illness, waged on both scientific and emotional fronts by a pair of women demonstrating extreme bravery under pressure. Annie Parker (Morton) has watched both her mother and sister succumb to breast cancer. When she herself is diagnosed, she struggles to hold her family together, displaying a force of spirit that belies the odds. Meanwhile, geneticist Mary-Claire King (Hunt) is researching the idea of an undiscovered link between DNA and cancer, a process that finds her scrambling for both funding and the support of her disbelieving colleagues. How the paths of these two women intersect is funny, irreverent and heartwarming without the burn. Director Steven Bernstein’s feature debut deftly balances the seriousness of the situation with the all-too-human response, finding unpredictable grace notes of beauty and wit during even the darkest of times. Bernstein will be at the Egyptian to talk about the film. In addition to Hunt and Morton, the supporting cast includes Aaron Paul, Rashida Jones, Bradley Whitford, and Maggie Grace. Bernstein’s film pays ample tribute to one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century as well as the people forever changed in its wake. Tickets are $25.

In addition to performing at the Race for the Cure, Michelle is also serving as a co-chair for the Sista’s Race for the Cure team. The goal of the Sista’s team is to promote Race participation by African American women and families and to increase awareness of the high breast cancer mortality rate among African American women. “We need to find cures for cancer because no one should have to suffer the loss of a mom, or a sister or daughter,” says Michelle. “This is why I have chosen to join the Sista’s Race for the Cure team and support Komen Puget Sound’s Race for the Cure.” The Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure will provide an opportunity to celebrate survivors and remember those who have lost their battle to breast cancer. This service will occur on June 2, from 7:30-8:15 a.m. in the Seattle Center Pavilion. To learn more about the Race for the Cure, go to komenpugetsound.org.

Resilient Simpson, her supporters vow to ‘kick cancer’s butt’ BY MICHELLE CONERLY mconerly@kentreporter.com
D
onna Simpson sits at her computer, logs onto Facebook and starts to write a very stern, very powerful letter for all to read. “Dear Cancer,” she writes, “The chemotherapy I started on Monday may be kicking my butt and making me really sick, but I have the doctors to help me. You have no one. The worse I feel physically, the better I feel mentally knowing that you are being attacked and have nowhere to hide. You will die, and I will be just fine. It’s only a matter of time. Donna.” Simpson’s doctor diagnosed her with breast cancer the day before Thanksgiving of last year. But save her lack of hair, no one would know she was fighting the battle of her life. It’s been a hard journey. When staff at her doctor’s office first learned about the lump, they scheduled the wrong type of mammogram. Add to that the chemo medicine that makes her so sick she could retreat to her bed for days, the multiple surgeries and a port in her
chest that keeps flipping out of place, there’s no doubt few would be strong enough to handle it. But as far as Simpson’s concerned, all those mountains are just “speed bumps” on her road to healing. Simpson credits the overwhelming support of friends and family for her positive attitude. “I have a huge support system,” she said. “I don’t know how somebody does it without (that). I’ve never gone to a treatment alone. Our family is really close, so if one of us is going through something, we’re all there.” Simpson’s children - even the honorary ones - have been at her side from the start. Daughters Noelle and Jamie were the first to learn of her diagnosis. And when the time came to choose the right type of surgery, both girls were at her side. But with limited knowledge, neither Simpson nor her daughters knew which option to choose. That’s when Jessica Allen, dear-friend-turned-family member, stepped up. Allen, a physician liaison at Rainier Cancer Center,

met the Simpson family at a Relay for Life walk months before the diagnosis. So when they needed help deciphering medical jargon and choosing the right option, Allen, who happened to be in the same area when the Simpsons were choosing, dropped everything to sit beside Simpson’s children, becoming an invaluable source of information for the family and an official Simpson daughter. “Jessica knew all the questions to ask,” Simpson said. “ (The doctors) put in my medical records that my daughter, Jessica, came in to

ask questions. That’s where we say ‘it’s official, she’s a Simpson.’” Seeing how positive Simpson is, even on her worst days, Allen is not only grateful to be a part of her journey to getting better but has also learned a lot about herself and life. “It’s really humbled me,” Allen said. “She’s just got such a great presence and attitude. (Her) story and (her) motivation stick out so strong to me, it’s incredible.” Simpson has inspired the people around her with the muscle in her fight, not only for herself but for others
lungs and ultimately to her brain. It kind of went fast at the end. Her dying was very shocking.” Five years ago, at the age of 39, Unland lost her battle with cancer. Baker said she had walked in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure before her sister’s death, but the grieving process spurred her to become more involved and form the Kim’s She-Ra’s race team, named in honor of her sister’s battle. “No matter what she was going through, chemo or surgery, she would always say, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll be there. I’m She-Ra, I’ll be there. I know I’m having surgery, but I’ll be there, I’m She-Ra, I can do anything,’ ” Baker recalled. This June Kim’s She-Ra’s will walk
as well. Even on the days when she can barely walk across the room, Simpson, co-chair of her local Relay of Life team, attends committee meetings, showing her dedication to the cause. “We always said we relay for other people in the community that need help and can’t relay for themselves,” Simpson said, “and if we ever needed it in our family, we hope somebody would relay for us.” Simpson likes to tell people that cancer picked the wrong person to mess with. Allen has a slightly different take. “In my opinion, I think it picked the right person,” Allen said, “because (she’s) the person that’s going to fight back. (She’s) the person that’s going to follow directions to the tee. (She’s) the person that’s not going to give up when you have a hard day. It’s just going to motivate her, more and more.” Simpson has one more round of chemo before her radiation treatment begins at Rainier Cancer Center in Tukwila. With the help of Allen and the staff there and with her family at her side, Simpson is ready to “kick cancer’s butt” and pick up on life right where she left off. “Cancer needs to know that its days are numbered,” Simpson said. “I’m 46, and I haven’t even begun to live.”
in the Race for the Cure for the sixth time to raise money and awareness. “For me, it’s really important. I’m very passionate about breast cancer prevention and awareness,” Baker said. “All my friends know that if I haven’t seen them in a while, the first thing I’m going to ask them is, ‘Have you got your mammogram lately?’ “The goal is to find a cure, so without fundraisers like this there isn’t going to be the research grant money for the scientists,” Baker said. “I think one of the great things about his event is the day of the walk. It really is inspirational. You have thousands of people, men and women of all ages, all getting together for the same goal.” To donate to Kim’s She-Ra’s, go to pugetsound.info-komen.org/site/TR.

Detectives will send bullets to the Washington State Patrol crime lab to match the bullet found in the dead man with the gun fired by the store owner. Crime results can take weeks to get back. “We are 99 percent certain,” Police Chief Ken Thomas said during a phone interview about whether Fleming was the man involved in the armed robbery. “We are waiting for evidence from the crime lab to match ballistics and confirm the gun.” Two customers and two employees were in the store when a man entered the store armed with a gun. “He came in with a gun and wearing a mask, and there was an exchange of gunfire between the business owner and the suspect,” Thomas said. “The suspect then ran out of the store.” A few hours later, police found a man dead from a gunshot would on a bench near an Auburn business. Thomas said it is unknown how the man ended up in Auburn or if he might have had anyone else who helped him get away from the store. “We’re investigating that possibility,” Thomas said.
Masked man: A masked man armed with a handgun enters Bonaci Fine Jewelers in Kent on the morning of May 4. COURTESY PHOTO Officers who first arrived at the jewelry store learned that a man had entered the store with a gun in his hand, confronted the owner who was armed and gunshots were fired. The man then ran out of the store and fled in an unknown direction. It was unknown if he continued on foot or left in a vehicle. He was armed with a handgun. Police did not release information earlier this week about the dead body found in Auburn until detectives figured out it appeared to
be the same man suspected in the robbery. Thomas said detectives needed to be sure the man wasn’t connected to a separate shooting. Thomas said it remains to be determined exactly how many shots were exchanged at the jewelry store but the armed man fired at least one shot. Police used interviews with witnesses and video evidence to help figure out details of the shooting. “I’m just happy innocent citizens were not injured based on the dangerous

actions of an armed robbery suspect,” Thomas said. Once detectives finish the case, they will turn over the information to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, which will make the final decision about whether to file any charge against the jewelry store owner. “Self defense will be considered,” Thomas said. “Prosecutors make the filing decision.” According to state law, it is considered justifiable homicide when “there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished.”

TEAMS FROM KENTLAKE AND KENTRIDGE high schools competed at the state-level Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Challenge. Team Kentlake, comprised of students William Miller and Ryan Sorge, under the instruction of David Lewis, finished second in the hands-on state competition at Renton Technical College. Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent provided the team with a 2013 Focus SE to prepare for competition. Kentridge – students Tanner Zeiler and Steven Johnson with instructor George Sichting – was eighth. Scarff Ford in Auburn helped the team prepare for competition by providing vehicles and equipment. The teams, one from each school, completed an initial online exam earlier this year to qualify for the state competition. Team Kentridge took first in the knowledge (online) portion of the competition. Johnson was fifth and Zeiler ninth in the nation. Two students from Kennewick’s Tri-Tech Skills Center won the competition. Eder Samaniego and Gerardo Rico each earned more than $23,000 in scholarships and will advance to represent Washington in the national finals at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., June 9-11.

For more than 20 years, Paolo’s Italian Restaurant has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Whether it’s bruschetta (grilled bread with tomatoes, garlic basil and olive oil), cioppino (tomato-based seafood stew), or the old standards of pizza or spaghetti and meatballs, Paolo’s has been serving a loyal following of customers from its warm, spacious locale at 23810 104th Ave. S.E. Paul Raftis, founded Paolo’s after growing up learning to cook alongside his mother Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen because he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing “It smells so good in here!” Paul feels honored each time a guest walks through the door. Raftis, a marathoner, also is living proof you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, Fettuccine Paolo, was featured in Runner’s World magazine, for its low-fat, flavorful appeal. “It’s one of the dishes I developed,” he said. “It has no cream in it, no butter.” It’s a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes and artichokes. In addition to a full lunch, dinner and dessert menu, Paolo’s also features a four-course meal for $20.99, weekly wine specials, and cooking classes every six to eight weeks. “We can get 12-15 people in each class,” he said.
