Supporters hold rally at Hartman Park for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act for Washington Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Ray Corona was 9 years old when his family moved from Mexico to Everett, and even at that age, he knew they’d arrived in the country illegally.

A dozen years later, he is still undocumented, but this hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his dream of going to college, and next month, the 21-year-

old will graduate from the University of Washington, Bothell.

Corona was enrolled in the Mukilteo School District and attended a high school that was part of the Achievers Scholarship Program, which allowed him to apply for scholarships despite his lack of documentation. The scholarships he received helped him finance his

post-secondary education, but not all undocumented students will have the same access to scholarships as Corona.

To help others with similar backgrounds as his, Corona was part of a rally at Hartman Park in Redmond Friday afternoon to encourage people to contact local senators — specifically Sen. Rodney Tom and Sen. Andy Hill of the 48th and 45th Legislative Districts — to pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act for Washington. The bill has already passed in

the Washington House of Representatives but has yet to even make it on the Senate floor.

“They deserve a vote,” said Redmond resident Krista Jensen. “These kids are all going to be in the work force…These kids are all our kids.”

Marcella Fogg, an officer with the Redmond Police Department (RPD), is filing a $3 million claim against the City of Redmond for ongoing harassment and retaliation since going undercover as a senior at Redmond High School (RHS) in 2010.

According to previous reports, the seven-monthlong undercover operation was part of a drug bust that resulted in the arrest of 11 students, who were involved in a variety of drugs including black tar heroine, ecstasy, cocaine and oxycontin.

Kathryn Reith, communications director for the Lake Washington School District, said the only person to know of the undercover investigation beforehand was RHS principal Jane Todd.

“I’d learned about it the night before they were going to go in and make the arrests,” Reith said, adding that the information was vague, only telling her that something big would be happening at the school.

KING 5 news reported that since Fogg completed the assignment — as a rookie — she received a chilly reception from fellow officers.

Court documents state that she couldn’t always count on them to back her up when she needed. This

included an incident in June 2011 in which Fogg responded to a domestic violence call while her partner returned to the squad car rather than stay outside in case she needed backup.

Fogg was also investigated for a hit-and-run accident by the Washington State Patrol after she brushed her side mirror against another car on Dec. 1, 2011 while she was pursuing a bank robbery suspect in Overlake, according to court documents.

RPD also hired the Bellevue Police Department (BPD) in August 2012 to investigate Fogg after she began mentoring a troubled 16-year-old RHS student.

Court documents state that the teen’s parents sent the RPD a letter praising Fogg and expressing their gratitude for counseling their son. This prompted speculation on Fogg’s relationship with the teen — including rumors that he was the father of her child, not Fogg’s husband — and RPD’s hiring Bellevue police to investigate.

“It’s just horrendous,” said Fogg’s attorney Bob Kim about the accusations.

One month later, BPD closed the investigation, stating the rumors were “unfounded” and that, “there was absolutely no evidence or even an original complaint that indicated the allegation was legitimate.” [ more city page 7 ]

nerve through — not a lot of room. If any of those structures get cranky from overuse, they can get inflamed and cause a lot of trouble. Massage can help soothe the inflammation, but nothing will beat some good old-fashioned wrist rest and maybe a hot Epsom salt soak or 15-20 minutes of ice (more than 15-20 minutes of ice anywhere can cause harm to your healthy tissue, so set a timer or use a bag of frozen peas, they usually thaw within 20 minutes).

You may also want to try a wrist brace to keep the wrist in a neutral position — bending the wrist in different directions can put pressure on the carpal tunnel and make you unhappy.

So the next time you get a massage for any reason, know that when your massage therapist asks questions about your issues, she’s trying to assess where to start. Most of us are actually not psychic, we just have training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and a few other –ologies — and we’re trying to get to the root of the issue so we can help you get better, faster!

Q: Does cooking food in a microwave cause nutrient loss?

A: Despite their popularity, many people are convinced that radiation from microwaves destroys nutrients.

Thankfully, research does not back this up. The primary determinants of nutrient loss are cook time, cook temperature and the amount of liquid used. In other words, any form of cooking can lead to nutrient loss, but microwaving is actually a BETTER option. Microwaves do a great job of heating your food very quickly, and microwaves

Q: I’ve never been the best sleeper. Is this having a negative impact on my overall health?

A: Unfortunately, yes, it probably is! There is a lot of emerging research revolving around sleep (or the lack thereof) and its associated health implications. There’s some data now indicating that those who get just one night of poor sleep end up with abnormal lab values indicative of pre-diabetes.

That’s right, pre-diabetes!

Folks with poor sleep cycles can end up with suppressed insulin secretion after a meal,

PAIN?

We’re here to help you get back on your feet!

Ever had wrist pain?

I think everyone just nodded. In our modern world, our wrists really do a lot — checking groceries, using the computer mouse, opening jars, gardening, chopping herbs, doing pushups — OK, well maybe not the pushups!

But our wrists are involved in a lot of things.

However, sometimes our wrist and/or hand issues actually stem from our necks. Or our shoulders. Or both, why not? Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my practice, it’s that the source of a client’s pain is generally not just because of one single issue. Our bodies are quite miraculous in what they can do — and they’re super complicated as a result.

So when we have general aches and pains, the reason is generally quite a few causes.

When I hear a client tell me he has pain, numbness or weakness in his hand, I ask where?

Knowing where discomfort is located is the key to helping me help you. If it’s half the middle finger, the ring finger, and pinky, I’m going to check your

shoulder. If your shoulder is OK, I’ll look at your neck. It’s possible the brachial plexus is being impinged by a cranky muscle, maybe pectoralis minor, maybe subclavius, maybe anterior scalene.

Don’t worry, I’m the one who needs to know where they are. But if you’re curious, you can Google them.

And then I’ll recommend you roll your shoulders back and listen to your mother — sit up straight!

Hunching over is a great way to get numb hands.

Another way is sleeping on your side without a pillow to support your arms (I call it a “huggy pillow”).

Generally, if your hands go numb and it’s due to pec minor, the simple act of rolling your shoulders back and sticking your chest out will help within 30 seconds. And about 80 percent of the time in my practice, it’s due to pec minor.

Pain, numbness or weakness in the thumb, forefinger and half the middle finger? It could be in the wrist. You have a carpal tunnel in each wrist (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is when you have an issue in your carpal tunnel).

There’s actually a tunnel formed by the wrist bones (carpals) and a ligament that connects a couple of bones (the transverse carpal ligament). The tunnel is really narrow, maybe a little more than a pinky width, but it has to allow nine tendons plus one

heat at temperatures that are lower than most other forms of cooking. The water-soluble vitamins, B-complex and C, are easily the most susceptible to heat, and are commonly found in beans, fruits and vegetables. Bottom line — use the microwave as often as you need to, but try to avoid using water in the cooking process to avoid leaching of those water-soluble vitamins.

which leaves them with elevated blood sugar levels for far too long. They also have lowered resting metabolic rates, which could ultimately contribute to weight gain, as well. Other researchers have discovered that hundreds of genes get disrupted after just one week of suboptimal sleep, thereby impairing the body’s ability to heal itself. Chronic sleep problems have been associated with heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and obesity for years, but now we’re starting to see direct observations in the laboratory setting. In the end, optimal sleep is just as important as your fitness level and your nutritional status when it comes to overall health, so try to get at least eight hours a night, and more when you can.

Q: I lift five days per week consistently, but my strength gains have flatlined. How do I continue to get stronger?

A: Despite not having much information to go on here, let’s see if I can provide some insight. First of all, there’s the distinct possibility that you’re working out too much. Maybe your volume (the combination of sets and reps) is too high — a common problem for those looking to gain strength as quickly as possible. And how long has it been since you’ve taken some time off to allow your body to fully recuperate from the stress of exercise?

Some much-needed rest may do the trick, and amazingly, people often come back even stronger. I also wonder if you’re changing up your workouts enough. Many people get into the habit of using machines or free weights, but then never gravitate toward other forms of exercise.

Cables, tubing, bands, kettle bells, medicine balls and even body weight exercises can all increase strength, so you should try to vary up your routine regularly. Lastly, you have to remember that strength doesn’t just increase exponentially on a continual basis. There is a threshold that you’ll reach at some point, and you could be there already. If you feel like you need help with your current program, talk to a certified personal trainer.

Vote online: redmond-reporter.com

Last week’s poll results: “Do you agree with Redmond’s 2030 comprehensive plan?”

Legislature must continue funding for proven drop-out prevention program Under the Washington state constitution, providing an ample education for all students is identified as state government’s “paramount duty.” Last year, the state Supreme Court ruled that the legislature had failed to meet that duty by persistently underfunding our schools. This year, the legislature is responding.

The governor and lawmakers of both parties agree that upwards of $1 billion in new funding needs to go to education. However, some lawmakers want to actually eliminate funding for one of our state’s most successful education programs: Navigation 101.

That program is scientifically proven to reduce drop-out rates. A total of 52 percent of all middle and high schools in Washington use Navigation 101 to help kids prepare for their future and graduate. Eliminating it now will make our state’s drop out problem worse.

We use Navigation 101’s curriculum and tools to help our students develop their core competencies in career and life planning, post-secondary option decision making, college admissions, the financial aid process and more. The program also provides tools for counselors, teachers and administrators to track and monitor student and school performance.

need very little help from specialized programs like Navigation 101. But for many others, targeted assistance is crucial. I have seen many kids stay in school, graduate and move on to successful futures because of Navigation 101.

It is hard to understand the rationale behind eliminating funding for this program. Years of data prove that Navigation 101 helps students succeed.

We know it isn’t expensive. The two-year budget to keep Navigation 101 available to all school districts is just over $5 million, not a large program in a budget of over $30 billion.

Nearly one in four of Washington’s students fail to graduate on time. Navigation 101 is designed

specifically to address this crisis. Why would we take this resource away from school districts that are using it to change lives right now?

The state legislature is working on a new two year state budget now. Several Eastside legislators, particularly Rep. Ross Hunter, and Sens.

Rodney Tom and Andy Hill, are crucial in this debate. They need to hear from you. Please call the toll free legislative hotline today at 1-800-5626000, and ask Hunter, Tom and Hill to support continued funding for Navigation 101.

From the Web: Redmond’s 2030 comprehensive plan (In response to Peter Rogerson’s guest column, “A voice against Redmond’s Agenda 21 vision for 2030”) • Peter, your arguments attempt to take on a “good old-fashioned conservative” approach, but instead come off as “I am personally annoyed.” Redmond’s apartment buildings are not centrally planned.

If a private company does not want to provide parking spaces, and instead wants to take a gamble on the idea that many of its residents will not need one, then who are you to tell them otherwise?

If you want, go live somewhere where you can drive your car and smoke in peace without bothering anyone. However, if people want to live in an area that is more pedestrian friendly and also allows people to not need to worry about second-hand smoke exposure, and they are willing to pay for this, then the free market has spoken and you lost this one. But, the beauty of free enterprise is that, if your price is right, there will always be someone available to meet your demand. It is your responsibility to go seek that

out for yourself.

Stephen Barr

• I am confused by your arguments. You say you want to protect “our precious liberties,” yet you imply that Redmond was wrong to allow a private company to remove the trees on a property the company owns? And I don’t understand how anyone in 2030 can force you to ride a bicycle? Or why you would choose an apartment with no parking when there are and will continue to be plenty of apartments in Redmond that do have parking? Or why non-smokers should have to put up with the stench and health hazards of another person’s smoke encroaching into their own homes? Whose liberties are being assaulted, and what, exactly, are you protesting?

Laurie Ladbury

• Honestly, I can’t comment on 99 percent of that other than the smoking-in-your-home point.

Personally, I’m am so annoyed by people that smoke in their apartment/home I can’t stand it. For one person’s pleasure, you inconvenience so many other people.

Smokers always go and light it up literally after I’ve open my window on a warm summer day. No joke,

it’s every time. I hate it so much and I would support any law that completely bans smoking all together.

Yes, I know there are tons of other things individuals do that inconvenience many others, but smoking is one of those things that is such a common recurrence it drives me crazy. So in summary, sorry Peter, bring on the non-smoking homes in Redmond, I 100 percent support them! I’m sure most of the city’s population would be on my side, as well.

Todd Nappen

• UN treaty Agenda 21 was signed by GHW Bush — Clinton established a presidential commission that worked with the UN to write city and county regulations. These are introduced to city councils and planning commissions as ready-to-implement methods of protecting the environment by saving trees, maintaining green spaces and reducing the use of resources.

When cities adopt regulations written by federal and international bureaucrats, two things happen. 1.

It catches on and becomes selffulfilling. Other cities don’t want to be left behind, so they adopt the regulations, as well. We end up with cookie-cutter cities and lose the vibrant diversity and individual-

ism we used to see among cities. 2.

People lose freedom. You no longer own your land, you lease it and the city can tell you what you can do on it — you can’t cut down trees, you can’t shade the lake, you can’t plant certain types of plants, you have to process garbage a certain way.

Individually, the rules might not be too harsh, but taken together, they constitute an intrusion and diminution of your freedom to live the way you want.

The ultimate goal of Agenda 21 is for everyone to live in high-density housing blocks with all necessities within walking distance. The creators of A21 expect us to stay in these communities with little need to leave. We won’t need cars because we won’t go anywhere. It’s a vision of the future that I want no part of.

We should all demand that our councils and planning commissions do the work they are paid for and write regulations that are custom made for our cities, not just carbon copy what everyone else is doing.

The next time you’re told you can’t remove a tree or plant ivy, ask yourself how many more things you’re willing to give up for a collectivist vision of the “greater good.” Is it really good if everyone is restricted?

Alcott’s Awesome Assemblers to compete in international event

Alcott Elementary fifth-grader Sid Vijay makes adjustments on his car while preparing for the upcoming Destination Imagination Global Finals competition next week. Sid and his teammates will be the only team from Washington in the competition. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter Fourth-grader Patrick Pierson works on his costume for the upcoming competition in Knoxville. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

This week, six students from Louisa May Alcott Elementary School near Redmond and their families are traveling to Tennessee to participate in the Global Finals of the Destination Imagination (DI) competition in Knoxville.

The competition will be from May 22-25 and the Awesome Assemblers — made up of fourth and fifth

graders — from Alcott will be the only team participating from Washington.

“To make a long story short, I feel like a celebrity,” fifth-grader Sid Vijay said about having a chance to participate in something not many people have the opportunity to do.

Fifth-grader Ayan Gupta also acknowledged that competing in the Global Finals — which will have students from 49 states and

33 countries competing — is a big opportunity that they may not get again.

Alongside Sid and Ayan are fourth-graders Samarjit Kaushik, Patrick Pierson and Luke Jianu and fifthgrader Vedantha Venkatapathy. Together, they will compete in the Technical Challenge category of Elementary School Division at the DI Global Finals, which is the top level of an international tournament that celebrates creativity, according to the DI website.

DI is a nonprofit that

helps kids discover their creativity with challengebased programming that incorporates science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), the arts and service learning. The program is open to students

of all ages and teams can choose challenges in various categories.

Each of the Awesome Assemblers chose the technical category because they thought the tasks would be more challenging.

“Because it sounded cool and it was the hardest out of all of them,” said Patrick about why he chose the technical category.

The challenge is split into two tasks. First, students [ more alcott page 6 ]

Jingyu Yang, the team’s second coach, agreed that the “no interference” rule can be difficult, but said it is really rewarding when the boys figure something out and it clicks for them.

At 14, the Interlake High School freshman has participated in DI since fifth grade — spending three years as a competitor and two years as a coach. While she has been involved in the program for five years, this will be her first year going to the Global Finals.

“I’m really, really proud of them,” she said about the Awesome Assemblers’ success.

While everyone is excited for the upcoming competition in Knoxville, the trip is estimated to cost almost $12,000. To help cover the expenses, the Awesome Assemblers have created a website where people can donate money to sponsor their team. For more information, visit awesome assemblers.com.

Sid said the on-the-spot challenges have been his favorite part of DI because they have to think on their toes to perform them.

Ayan’s father, Deepak Kumar, is one of two Awesome Assemblers coaches and said DI teaches kids about collaborating, teamwork, leadership, problem solving and more — all the while encouraging them to be creative.

“They can think outside of the box,” he said.

As a coach, Kumar is not allowed to interfere with the team’s work, which he said is the hardest part of his job.

Redmond woman pleads guilty to 2006 murder of ex-boyfriend

Redmond resident Janjira Smith pleaded guilty May 10 to seconddegree murder for killing her ex-boyfriend Roger Lewis with insecticide-laced Jagermeister in Kirkland in 2006.

Smith also pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree assault for poisoning a woman who was with Lewis.

The sentence range is between 144 to 244 months in prison.

Prosecutors will recommend 244 months when Smith, 58, is sentenced on June 28 at 1 p.m. before Judge Tim Bradshaw at the King County Courthouse,

RPD to take part in ‘Click it or Ticket’ patrols focused on texters and talkers

Between May 20 and June 2, motorists in King County can expect to see law enforcement patrolling city and county roads in search of unbuckled drivers and passengers and drivers using their cell phones during the “Click it or Ticket” campaign.

Last year, during this same time period, officers on routine and extra patrols statewide issued 3,171 seat belt violations amongst the 11,047 motorists who were stopped.

Similarly, last year during this time period, 1,059 cell-phone violations were written. However, taking a historical look, in 2010, (the same year cell phone use became a primary law in Washington), only 63 drivers were cited statewide.

In King County, the Auburn, Bellevue, Black Diamond, Burien,

Kim, who is based in Covington, said although the investigation was closed with BPD stating the rumors were unfounded, it has still been documented and is on record. As a result, Kim said it will be pretty much impossible for Fogg to find a job outside of Redmond.

“They have hosed her career,” he said.

This, in addition to the psychological damage and the physical toll on Fogg, is why she is seeking the $3 million, Kim said.

Smoke detectors wake resident of Redmond apartment

Just before 11 a.m. on Wednesday, residents of an apartment complex in the 9800 block of Avondale Road Northeast were awakened by the smoke alarm sounding in their second-floor residence.

reform and the DREAM Act, and was also at Friday’s rally. In addition to her and Corona, the rally also included members of OneAmerica, a nonprofit focused on advancing the fundamental principles of democracy and justice at the local, state and national levels by building power within immigrant communities in collaboration with key allies.

OneAmerica Organizing Director David Ayala said the goal of the rally was to make the public aware that the DREAM Act — which would allow undocumented individuals who arrived in the United States before they turned 16 (referred to as DREAMers) to apply for permanent residency and eventually, citizenship — is still alive.

With permanent residency or citizenship, DREAMers would be able to apply for financial aid and scholarships that are currently out of their reach due to their lack of documentation.

“The only option available to undocumented students is private scholarships,” Corona said, adding that there are not a lot of those readily available.

Corona said with tuition at a public college or university set at about $13,000 per year, it is almost impossible to attend without options for financial assistance. Both Corona, who is the director of educational initiatives for WDAC, and Jensen said with such limited options to pay for college, undocumented students are likely to give up in high school because they don’t see the point.

“There’s no hope,” Jensen said.

She said if the DREAM Act were to pass in Washington, it would open up opportunities for students and put them on an even playing field as their peers as they would be eligible to apply for the same scholarships and financial aid.

“Where would (the undocumented students) go if they knew they had a pathway to college that would help pay for the bulk of it?” Jensen asked of the possibilities.

Ayala said the DREAM Act would open up many opportunities to stu-

“There are these bright minds there,” he said, adding that the DREAM Act would encourage DREAMers to put those bright minds to good use.

Steve Miller from the League of Education Voters for Washington said they strongly support the DREAM Act as most DREAMers have grown up knowing no other country than the United States but are caught in limbo.

Like Ayala, Miller said making it easier for DREAMers to go to college and work in the state would be beneficial to Washington.

“These individuals have talents we can’t afford to waste,” he said.

Local golfers are ready for state action Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Ricky Olson and Morgan Cadigan know what it takes to compete in high-level golf tournaments.

Last week, the Bear Creek seniors earned medalist honors at their 2B district events, and next week they’ll both give their clubs a workout for the fourth straight year at the state tourney at Oakbrook Golf Course in Lakewood.

Last year at state, Olson took seventh while Cadigan notched fifth and led her team to a third-place finish.

In addition to district solo titles, both golfers guided their teams to district crowns. Olson will be joined at state by sophomore Colin Diamond, and Cadigan will have seniors Kiersten Sprick and Sarah Witt and sophomores Gracie Matthews and Wendy Hsia on her side.

The keys to success for Olson are “just playing smart, limiting your bad shots and just having fun, too,” he said. Olson, who shot an 18-hole 81 at districts, was also medalist at the Sea-Tac League championships.

He’s been golfing for about seven years and feels that he’s constantly improving his skills. He’s excited for another shot at state and thinks a top-five finish could be in the cards.

Diamond, who competed at state as a freshman last year, also has the potential to place high, Olson said.

Cadigan first stepped onto a golf course six years ago, and her dad’s evaluation was, “’Oh, you have a natural swing, you might as well stick with it,’” she said, adding about her time on the course these days, “It’s

Bear Creek’s Ricky Olson and Morgan Cadigan will fire away at next week’s state golf tournament. Courtesy of Kathy Cadigan fun. You can’t stop improving, getting better and lowering those scores.”

Cadigan, who shot a 93 at districts, likes the competitive fire and confidence she sees in her Grizzly teammates and is hopeful that they’ll place in the upper echelon at state.

They’re all pushing each other to improve their scores each time out, she said, adding that they’re doing their best and never giving up.

Stevens won the

3,200-meter run in 9:05.62, breaking the 26-year-old meet record of 9:16.2, set by John Hill, the current Bellevue High coach who was at the meet. Stevens’ mark is a top-50 USA performance.

Stevens also won the 1,600 title on May 8 in 4:15.64.

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.

s volunteers Tath Hossfeld and Jan Slawson wrapped up preparations for the very first Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1994, the only thing left to wonder was “will it rain”?

“It was very nerve wracking because it rained the day before and throughout the night,” says Jan. “It was a new race, and I didn’t know how committed people would be.”

Tath agrees: “I was so worried that rain would keep people away from our Race. 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.”

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?

Linda Ball

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! Linda Ball is a staff writer with the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter. She can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052, or lball@issaquahreporter.com.

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.

Michelle lAng & Still WAter to Perform at the Race for the Cure

A

ward winning urban-contemporary and gospel singer Michelle Lang will be performing with Still Water at the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, Seattle Center, June 2, right before the Race begins.

Michelle was voted Best Gospel Female Vocalist for 2009 by Inside Tha Musik and awarded a Legacy Award by Seattle Pacific University.

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.

Cuadra: Working with Komen’s Por La Mujer Hispana Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

When Alexandra Cuadra began volunteering at Susan G. Komen in Seattle, the idea was that it would keep her busy until she found a job.

The former Redmond resident — who just moved to Bellevue earlier this month — now has a job working at the Millionair Club Charity in Seattle but continues to donate her time to the breast-cancer foundation on a regular basis.

“They are really nice people,” Cuadra said about the staff and other volunteers at Komen. “It’s fun. It’s something I really enjoy.”

As a volunteer, her duties have ranged from manning information tables at various events to educate people, to stuffing envelopes.

While educating people on breast cancer, one of the challenges she has come across has been getting the message through to younger women. Cuadra — who is 23 — said it is difficult to get them to understand the importance of getting screened because young

Alexandra Cuadra volunteers with Susan G. Komen Puget Sound and helps with outreach in the Hispanic community. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter people think they are invincible and will not get sick.

“That’s not the truth” she said.

Currently, Cuadra is working with Por La Mujer Hispana, a team for

Komen Puget Sound’s upcoming Race for the Cure on June 2 at Seattle Center. The event is a fundraiser with 75 percent of the money raised staying in the Puget Sound area to fund breast-cancer

screenings, education and treatment support. The remaining 25 percent will fund global research to better diagnose, treat and help cure breast cancer.

Cuadra said they had 132 people on the Por

La Mujer Hispana team.

Their goal for this year is to have 200 people and they are still recruiting members.

Before she began volunteering with the organization, Cuadra admitted she was not familiar with Komen. She had moved to Redmond in August 2012 from Peru and the nonprofit was just one of many organizations she applied with to be a volunteer. Komen Puget Sound was looking for a volunteer who could speak Spanish to help with outreach to the Hispanic community and Cuadra fit the bill.

Volunteering is not anything new to Cuadra.

She said when she was in Peru, she volunteered with kids.

“All my life, I try to be involved with helping people,” she said.

Cuadra said in addition to educating people, she works to help people understand that Komen’s services are available to everyone, regardless of their age, race, socioeconomic status or any other factors.

“We help everyone,” Cuadra said, adding that

Komen’s outreach coordinator works with volunteers of various cultural backgrounds to reach as many people as possible.

Cuadra said her family does not have a history of breast cancer so she did not know much about the illness. As a result, she had to learn about it.

“First, I needed to educate myself,” she said about her first step before she began spreading the word.

In the time she has been with Komen, Cuadra said she has been inspired by her fellow volunteers — some of whom have been with the organization for about 10 years. She has also found inspiration with the Komen Puget Sound staff. She said there are only 13 people on staff, but they are able to put on large events such as Race for the Cure.

Cuadra has received thanks and praise for volunteering with Komen, but she brushes it off because she feels she gets more out of it. “’You guys saved my life because I was in my house doing nothing,’” she said about her response to the accolades.

Vovak: Bellevue woman forms Race for the Cure team KEEGAN PROSSER Bellevue Reporter

Lori Vovak has never had breast cancer — but it’s affected her in the most personal of ways.

Vovak’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996, and though she beat the disease the first time around, her cancer came back in 2003. After months of battling, Vovak’s mother lost her fight in November 2003.

That’s why she works as a volunteer with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

“I think that started me wanting to do something,” Vovak said.

On New Year’s Eve of that year, Vovak and her family committed to take part in the Race For The Cure. Nine years later, the team — which includes Vovak’s son and daughter — is still going strong.

“Our little group has been getting bigger and

Left, Christine Hoffmann, Norma Hoffman and Lori Vovak; right, Jennifer Hoffmann, Katherine Hoffmann, Lori Vovak and Christine Hoffmann. Courtesy bigger,” said Vovak, who has rallied more than 50 people from the Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle for this year’s race.

But for Vovak, raising awareness about breast cancer is more than participating in the race once a year.

“I think it was last year I just thought to myself, there’s got to be something more I can do than just do-

ing the Race for the Cure.”

At the time, Vovak encountered a new coworker, and breast-cancer survivor, and was working with the foundation. When Vovak showed interest in getting more involved, her co-worker connected her with the volunteer coordinators.

“It was just amazing timing,” Vovak said.

She’s since started volun-

teering with the foundation on a more regular basis — stuffing bags for the race, sending mailers and handing out fliers on the Eastside. And while she admits most of the stuff she’s been working on has been behind the scenes, she’s eager to get even more involved. In fact, she said its her dream is to work for the Susan G. Komen Foundation someday.

Volunteering her time for a worthy cause is nothing new to Vovak.

In addition to losing her mother to breast cancer, Vovak lost her husband to a rare blood disease in 1999. Vovak has been raising money and volunteering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for years.

“I just felt like — with losing so many people in

my family to breast cancer and cancer diseases — I just thought, there’s gotta be something more,” Vovak said.

As far as the race goes, Vovak said her team has rallied behind the moniker “Save The Tatas” — though she admits her daughter, Emily, 14, thought they should be called “Hakuna MaTATA.” “It’s fun to have fun with it,” Vovak said. “Because it’s sad, but you still have to keep moving forward and somehow have fun with it, too.”

Vovak said she doesn’t set a monetary goal for her team because she doesn’t want to put too much pressure on people. However, most people on the team set their own personal goals. Vovak’s personal best was $1,000.

“Which I know isn’t that much,” Vovak said. “But every penny counts.”

she is.

“In a way, I consider cancer as a blessing,” she said. “I was laid off halfway through my treatment, so I had time once I started feeling better to volunteer for Komen.”

Her work with Komen has taken her to large employers like the FAA and the IRS, and also a private school in Kirkland to talk to them about the importance of fund-raising for Komen. She found it gratifying to talk to high school kids.

“It’s being able to touch someone, to be able to talk to someone that age and make them see why this is important,” she said.

She was also the surprise speaker at Mammography Reporting System, which provides software for mammograms, breast MRIs, nuclear imaging and ultrasounds.

She said it was helpful for them to put a human face on breast cancer.

Nudelman, who lives in Issaquah, plans to re-enter the workforce soon, but in the meantime she started fostering and rehabilitating dogs.

Along with a friend, they are starting a Shar-Pei rescue group called “Aleks Angels.”

She will be participating in Race for the Cure on June 2 in Seattle. Seventyfive percent of funds raised from Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure stay right here, and 25 percent goes to national research. The percentages flip for the 3-Day, with 75 percent going to national research and 25 percent staying in the Puget Sound area.

Construction set to take place on wildlife crossing on Novelty Hill about a year to complete.

At least 20 major collisions involving wildlife have been reported along Novelty Hill Road since 1999 – and it is estimated many more accidents have gone unreported.

Washington State Patrol receives reports of nearly 1,200 human injuries and two fatalities on average each year.

Development in the area surrounding Novelty Hill Road has been relatively sudden and intense. In the past 10 years, it is estimated an additional 10,000 residents — the equivalent of the population of both Duvall and Carnation — have moved to developments that encircle the crossing area. Additional traffic has accompanied that

growth and traffic engineers expect about 15,000 additional daily trips by 2030 on the busy roadway, making a solution to animal-vehicle collisions even more urgent.

“This project drew the most support of any grantfunded county road project in recent memory,” said Roads Engineering Services Manager Rick Brater. “And the data tell us conflicts between motorists and wildlife will only get worse as the area becomes more developed and traffic increases. This project gives us a way to protect drivers from unnecessary tragedy in the future.”

The safety project will involve construction of a concrete overpass and features that will provide a connection to undeveloped land to ensure access to habitat.

Fencing will be placed along the north and south sides of the road to prevent animals from entering the travel lanes. Other than the potential for brief weekend closures this summer, the project is not expected to significantly impact traffic flow.

The use of wildlife crossings is growing in popularity throughout the nation and world as travel patterns change and roads in previ-

King County is set to break ground on a federally funded project aimed at preventing serious animal-vehicle collisions on Novelty Hill Road near Redmond.

The federal grant covers 100 percent of the eligible costs for the design and construction of the public safety project.

Over the past few years, King County has amassed nearly 40,000 infrared images from 12 video cameras situated in forested areas along the Novelty Hill Road corridor. In addition to small critters, these cameras have captured images of several of the 175 different species that live in the area, including bear, deer, bobcat, coyote and cougar capable of causing life-threatening accidents.

Novelty Hill Road bisects an extensive 457-mile network of protected habitat that stretches from Enumclaw, north to Woodinville and east to the Cascades. Given the growing potential for serious accidents in the area, county engineers will construct a wildlife overpass between Redmond Ridge Drive Northeast and 234th Place Northeast. Work should take

ously rural areas become busier. The potential for human and economic loss has prompted scientists and engineers to consider a number of tools to mitigate conflicts between roads and wildlife.

The most recent example in this state is a Washington State Department of

Transportation project to add crossings along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate-90 from Hyak to Easton.

Hopelink President and CEO Marilyn MasonPlunkett said End Summer Hunger helps families continue to move toward self-sufficiency by ensuring they have enough to eat and are able to focus their energies on getting back on their feet.

“Food is essential. It is a building block. When families are hungry, stability is impossible,” Mason-Plunkett said.

“We know that consistent access to nutritious food enables our low-income families to direct their limited resources toward other basic needs — such as heat, transportation, and child care — without worrying about whether their children have enough to eat,” she said.

For more than 16,000 children in north and east King County, summer vacation means something other than a chance to spend the day outside playing with friends: it means no longer knowing for sure that you will have breakfast or lunch.

End Summer Hunger — running through August — is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign aimed at ensuring that local kids in low-income families have enough to eat while they’re on summer break. The fundraising drive brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide food for kids who receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Over the next several months, Hopelink is encouraging groups and individuals alike to get involved with the campaign.

The proceeds from End Summer Hunger will stock the agency’s five food banks for the high-demand summer months when kids

In 2012, Hopelink’s five food banks provided nearly 2.7 million pounds of food to more than 15,000 people in the community.
