Filings draw two races for Kent City Council BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Voters will pick from more than one candidate in just two races this year for the Kent City Council as three incumbents are running unopposed. Four people are running for the seat held by Deborah Ranniger, who decided not to see reelection. Her term ends in December. Councilwoman Brenda Fincher, who
was appointed last year to her position, faces challenger Toni Troutner in the Nov. 3 general election for the remaining two years on the four-year term. Nobody filed by the May 15 deadline with King County Elections to run against incumbents Les Thomas, Bill Boyce and Dana Ralph. The council seats are fouryear terms and the part-time positions pay $13,752 per year. The candidates to replace Ranniger are Bailey Stober, Rich Brandau, Hira Singh
Bhullar and Tina Budell. They will face off in an Aug. 4 primary. The two with the most votes in the primary will advance to the general election. This marks the third council race for Stober. He lost races in 2013 against Ken Sharp and in 2011 against Ranniger. He lives on the East Hill and works as a communications and marketing consultant for several small businesses and a political client. [ more COUNCIL page 8 ]

One race set for Kent School Board
Sister blames brother’s death on lack of help for mentally ill
BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
The Kent School Board will have one contested race in the Nov. 3 general election. Trisha Sanders is challenging incumbent Russell Hanscom for the District 1 seat. Board president Debbie Straus, District 3, and Karen DeBruler, District 2, are both running unopposed for re-election. Each position carries a four-year term. Filings closed May 15. Hanscom, 48, of Kent, was first elected to the board in 2011. He said he is pleased with the direction the district is headed and hopes to continue to serve on the board. “It’s important to me that we not only continue to build on our past success but continue to be innovative, ensuring all our students have the resources, structure and support to be successfully prepared for their futures,” Hanscom said in an email. Hanscom, the executive director for the Puyallup Tribe Elder and Vulnerable Adult Services, has three sons in Kent schools. [ more SCHOOL page 8 ]

Kent’s autistic savant artist is in great demand these days for his paintings. Through his attractive downtown gallery to his strong social media presence, the 57-yearold Tolleson is gaining a worldwide audience. “I’m a vessel that holds a gift. I cannot be credited for what I’m doing because it’s something that channels through the autism,” Tolleson said. “There’s a light within all of us. I didn’t find mine until my 50s. Who
Just two days before Kent Police responded to a suspicious death and found Ismail S.A. Mohamed dead, naked and with head injuries outside on a Kent hotel parking lot, his sister and parents had tried to convince a Yakima mental health treatment facility and a judge to keep him in custody for treatment. His family traveled to Washington from their home in Cairo, Egypt several days before the death of Mohamed, 31, a divorced father with two young boys. They came here because his sister reported Mohamed missing on April 14 after he failed to communicate with family members by phone as he typically did. The family tracked him down at the Bridges evaluation and treatment facility for the mentally ill in Yakima. A Washington State Patrol trooper had found Mohamed asleep and uncooperative in his vehicle along a Yakima street, according to Kent Police. Mohamed was admitted to Bridges on April 16 and discharged on April 17. Radwa Elfeqi saw a brief story on the Kent Reporter website about her brother’s death on the morning of April 21. He was found at the Crossland Economy Studios hotel. She called the newspaper to say there’s much more to the story than a man being found dead. She wanted the story known so other

Ex-treasurer pleads guilty to stealing $200,000 from Kent Little League BY STEVE HUNTER
shunter@kentreporter.com
A former Kent Little League treasurer pleaded guilty last week to stealing more than $200,000 from the organization. Kevin L. Baker, 50, of Maple Valley, faces a sentence range of 22 to 29 months and will be required to pay back $208,743 in restitution, according to the King County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office. He is scheduled to be sentenced at 1 p.m. on June 26 before Judge LeRoy McCullough at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Baker pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree theft (value of more than $5,000) and two counts of second-degree theft (value of more than $750) in connection with taking money from the youth baseball and softball group's bank accounts
during a 16-month period in 201213. He used some of the funds in an attempt to keep his newly acquired Benchwarmer Sports Bar and Grill in Kent afloat, according to charging papers. The bar along Russell Road has since closed. League president Greg Whitcomb discovered the financial shortfall after he tried to use a Kent Little League ATM card for a $20 purchase at Office Depot and the card was declined.

INSLEE SIGNS WHL BILL TO CLARIFY PLAYERS ARE AMATEURS Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill on Monday to clarify that Western Hockey League players are amateur athletes and not employees who should be paid minimum wage and fall under state child labor laws. The Kent-based Seattle Thunderbirds, who play at the ShoWare Center, were one of the teams to push for the legislation. Owners proposed the bill because of an ongoing investigation by the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) into whether child labor laws have been broken by the teams that feature players ages 16-20. Owners of the four Washington teams claimed they faced potential shutdown after a complaint filed with the state said players were professional athletes and therefore subject to certain wage and labor laws. To support the teams, Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, whose district includes Kent, sponsored a measure clarifying the amateur status of athletes in the WHL.
He learned in December 2013 that funds appeared to be missing from league bank accounts. He reported the alleged theft to the Kent Police that same month. Baker pleaded guilty to taking $9,200 and $9,571 from the league's bank account through cashier checks in May 2013; $20,129 and $20,000 in September 2012; $10,000 and $5,300 in July and August 2012; and $2,500 and $2,000 in June 2012. He also faced five other counts of theft that were dismissed in return for a guilty plea but money that he still must pay back. Baker was fingerprinted, booked and released on the same day after an initial guilty plea in January. He remains out of custody.

Kent Police are getting closer to solving who shot and killed a 1-year-old baby girl on April 16 in Kent and have four persons of interest in custody. Malijah Grant was shot in the head while riding in a carseat in the backseat of her parents car, with her mother driving and her father in the front passenger seat. She died two days later. Grant lived in Kent with her parents. Police conducted a high-risk search warrant last Friday night at a Kent residence whose occupants are connected to gangs, said Assistant Chief Derek Kammerzell. “We recovered numerous phones – seized as evidence – and four guns, three which turned out to be stolen and associated with convicted felons,� Kammerzell said in an update on the case Tuesday night to the City Council. “Other significant case evidence also was located.� Four persons of interest connected to the case are in custody on unrelated charges and warrants. All four have hired lawyers and have not given any statements in connection to the baby shooting, Kammerzell said. “They are persons of interest right now, so kind of like suspects but we are still collecting more information,� the assistant chief said when asked during an interview for more details. Kammerzell wouldn’t confirm whether any of the four might have been in the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, the suspect vehicle from which shots were reportedly fired at the intersection of Lake Fenwick Road and Reith Road near the Lake Fenwick Estates apartments. Police found and impounded the Chevy Cruze earlier this month.
Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
Where Should I Store My Documents? Estate planning documents should be stored where it is least likely that they will be inadvertently destroyed, or otherwise damaged or misplaced. The most obvious location to protect against these factors is a safety deposit box at a bank. Some thought should be given to those who will have access to open the safety deposit box after death. If no one has been authorized, it will be necessary to petition the Court for an order to open the box for inspection. Then the original Will must be delivered to the Superior Court. If no one has a key for the box, then the bank will charge to drill open the lock. I have more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment. Committed to you and the community.

[ TOLLESON from page 1 ] knows when they find their’s? The thing is that the light within us is worth waiting for and recognizing and nurturing.” Tolleson’s paintings offer hope and inspiration to others in the autistic community. Appearing recently at a private showing in Santa Fe, N.M., Tolleson met two families who had travelled more than 200 miles just to hear him speak and watch him paint. “It’s humbling to know that’s something you have no power over has so much power in the world,” he said.
Tolleson takes in the tone of a landscape, a person or a situation, and in one hour or less exhales an inspiring piece. Acrylic, his medium of choice, allows him finish a work even before the paint has dried. The resulting oil-like painting is revealing, impressionistic. It’s a gift he struggles to explain. “I don’t even know what I’m doing,” he said. “When I start the canvas, I don’t know what it’s going to look like when I finish, but I know it’s always right.” Others have taken notice. Tolleson’s career has blossomed in such a short time, garnering national and worldwide attention from the
autistic art community. Galleries – local and beyond, including Polly’s Place in London – have embraced his emotion-based paintings. Tolleson was a guest at a celebrity-filled benefit, Temple Grandin & Friends, in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Grandin, a top scientist who has become an icon in the autistic community, invited Tolleson to paint live on the Club Nokia stage, with proceeds from his auctioned works supporting the Autism Works Now effort. Tolleson will speak and paint at the Autism Society National Conference in Denver in July. He also will appear at the Love & Au-
tism Conference in San Diego in September, when he will create a painting to be used as a backdrop for a wedding. Plans are to attend an autism event in Siberia in November. As popular as his work has become on the national and global scene, Tolleson would like to become a bigger presence locally. He recently painted at an event that benefitted the Communities in Schools of Kent. His gallery, with the support of his partner, Jack Carl Anderson, also an autistic artist, has become a classroom for others. People are always telling him,

he says, that his paintings give hope, inspiration and light to the autistic community, especially to youth and families living with autism. Tolleson has donated his work to numerous charitable organizations throughout the country. Such work, he hopes, opens more gateways and inspires more children with autism to believe that they can express themselves through art. “It’s not about the art, it’s what the art symbolizes,” Tolleson said.

Officers responded to the bar after an employee reported two men were refusing to leave the establishment, according to the police report. The two men were running through the parking lot when officers arrived. Police were able to stop one man, who appeared to be very intoxicated as he swayed from side to side, had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. The man voluntarily got down on the ground and put his hands behind his back, so an officer handcuffed him. The officer checked on possible warrants for the man and walked back over to him.

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

The morality of drone photography The proliferation of drones for civilian use has rekindled and complicated privacy and safety concerns, especially in public places, where recreational drone use is flourishing. A perfect example of this happened to me on Saturday, May 16. At Lake Meridian Park in Kent, my two daughters were playing on the playground. Shortly after, we arrived a group of three people began flying a large drone less than 20 yards from the playground, with a conspicuous camera pointed directly at the play area, which was full of kids. I approached the group and asked them what they were doing. They responded that they were taking pictures. When
MY TURN
People in glass houses There’s an old saying that people living in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks. The moral is that before criticizing others, you should make sure your own house is in order. Companies, such as Kent-based REI, supporting Gov. Jay Inslee’s climate change legislation, should heed that advice.
Letters policy
REI is an iconic Northwest retailer of high-end outdoor gear, popular with nature enthusiasts and millennials. REI has been a big booster of Gov. Inslee’s climate change agenda, which pits Washington businesses against one another. The company hosted the governor’s rollout of his proposals, and REI officials testified

I called the police to report
in legislative hearings in support of Inslee’s cap-and-trade program. Inslee’s original proposal targeted 130 Washington facilities – the so-called “Dirty 130” – which produce carbon emissions above a certain amount. Fuel suppliers have since been dropped from the list, paring the target list down to 80 or 90 facilities. Under Inslee’s cap-and-trade pro-

Question of the week:
O L E T T E R S...Y O U R O P I N I O N CO U N T S: To submit an item or photo: the incident. When they arrived they had a brief conversation with the photographers and informed me that nothing they were doing was illegal. It is true that the right to privacy in public places is practically nonexistent. It is also true that it is perfectly legal to photograph children in public places without consent of the parents as long as it is for non-commercial uses. The question I wish to pose to the readers is, despite the legality of the drone pilots actions, was it moral, respectful and in line with the norms of our society? Laws are created to protect property, public safety and to reflect the morals of our society as a whole. In this day and age, should parents be concerned about strangers blatantly photographing their kids? Do our kids have a right to play in a public space [ more LETTERS page 7 ]
posal, Washington facilities on his list would be required to purchase increasingly costly allowances to continue operating. Those allowances, which opponents call a “tax on energy,” are estimated to cost our state’s employers $1.3 billion per year in 2017, growing steadily to $2.2 billion per year by 2026. Those new costs would put our manufacturers at an added disadvantage to foreign competitors who [ more BRUNELL page 7 ]

Keep in mind that companies manufacturing in Washington today are already operating under some of the most stringent state and federal environmental laws in the world. Gov. Inslee’s proposal would essentially change the rules and create more uncertainty. And while proponents characterize those on the list as “the state’s biggest polluters,” the targeted facilities include Boeing; the University of Washington Seattle campus and Washington State University at Pullman; and, WaferTech and REC Silicon, members of Washington’s vaunted clean high-tech industry. Taxpayers already pay to support the state universities. Under Inslee’s proposal, we would pay again in the form of higher tuition, home heating and electricity bills. State officials haven’t said how many thousands of jobs the targeted facilities provide or how adding $1.3 billion a year to their costs could affect Washington’s

There is certainly precedence for banning drone use in public spaces. The National Park Service has banned drone use in Yosemite and other national parks. Perhaps I was the one who was out of line by calling the police on harmless recreational photographers who just happened to mount their camera on a drone. It is obvious that, in this situation, no laws were broken.

existing levee and revetment along the east bank of the Green River between South 212th Street and Veterans Drive/South 228th Street. The meeting is from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Kent Commons Community Center, 525 Fourth Ave. N. The meeting will include an open house to review conceptual project unemployment rate, which remains stubbornly above the national average – with many counties suffering double-digit joblessness. Washington is already one of the cleanest and “greenest” states in the nation, and whatever we do will have very little impact on climate change. Remember threefourths of our electricity comes from hydroelectric plants, which do not generate greenhouse gases. Still, it has been relatively easy for some large retailers to jump on Gov. Inslee’s capand-trade bandwagon and testify in support of a $1.3 billion energy tax on “big polluters.” Those companies buy much of their merchandise from overseas manufacturers where many of their products are made in factories powered by coal-fired power plants. So, it turns out those companies are big polluters as well – just not here. And they provide thousands of manufacturing jobs – just not here. When it comes to criticizing Washington manufacturers, it’s easy to throw stones when your
Enforce our traffic laws If Kent suffers from lack of funds, as I assume, to the layperson, it seems simple to make significant steps toward solving that issue. 1. Ticketing speeders on 240th between 116th and 104th, and on James between 104th and Central. Cars, trucks and motorcycles many times throughout the day and night exceed 60 mph, some drastically. 2. Install red light cameras at the corners of 240th and 104th, and at 104th and 256th. You can’t sit at either intersection and not see at least one vehicle run a red light. 3. Enforce the fireworks ban within the city limits. It takes no effort to see and hear violations starting several days prior to the Fourth of July, and the sky and streets are full the day

Yes, the companies targeted by Inslee’s proposal emit carbon dioxide, but they also produce Washington manufacturing jobs. On the other hand, overseas suppliers often pay workers less, have fewer benefits, and their environmental, health and worker safety protections are weaker. Some retailers, like Walmart, are shifting back to the USA. In 2013 Walmart committed to buying $50 billion “Made in America” products in the next decade. Success of the campaign to bring jobs home will depend on productions costs here. Unfortunately, if Inslee’s cap-and-trade proposal doesn’t make it through the special legislative session, it may become an initiative on the 2016 ballot. Don C.

Stober remains under investigation by the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), which is looking into a January 2014

start by electing a diverse city council that reflects all of Kent. That’s why I’m running.” Budell was one of seven finalists picked by the council before it appointed Fincher in February 2014 to replace Sharp, who resigned after two weeks in office because of theft charges for stealing money from his mother. Budell has lived in Kent for eight years and serves as president of the North Park Neighborhood Council. North Park is just east of the ShoWare Center. Troutner, a market research analyst with a small business in Kent, is making her first run for an elected office. “As your councilwoman, I will bring new ideas and a fresh approach to the council,” said Troutner, who has lived in Kent for more than 15 years, in a press release. “Through my connections with the local PTA, the faith community, and through activities my children have been involved in over the years, I bring experience in building partnerships and working with diverse groups in our community.” Fincher, an administrative assistant at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, was required to run to keep her seat since she was an appointee by the council to replace Sharp. She plans an emphasis on public safety. “I want to make sure (police) are equipped with what we expect them to do and make sure they have what they need,” she said.

During his first term, Hanscom said the district implemented many new programs, including iGrad and the opening of the Kent Valley Early Learning Center. He helped change the district’s policy on evaluating school closures to include parent and employee input during the evaluation process instead of once the report is complete. He also advocated for a higher levy package that allowed the district to restore positions and programs that were cut. If re-elected, Hanscom said he would like students at the district’s elementary schools to wear uniforms and to have a soccer program at the middle school level. He said he would like to increase the number of late starts days from nine a school year to 15 early release days, giving teachers more time to plan and collaborate with other teachers.

www.kentreporter.com deaths connected with mental illness could be prevented. Elfeqi, a psychiatrist in Egypt, wanted people to know the struggles her family faced trying to get help for Mohamed, who she said battled bipolar disorder for years. She had hoped for more help from others in an effort to get treatment. “What is so hard to believe is we are all subject to this,� Elfeqi said during a recent interview at a local
hotel before she and her parents flew back to Egypt, just hours after sending Mohamed’s body home on an earlier flight. “This could happen to you, your brother, your son – how negligent many parties were to save my brother or to be there for my brother is beyond any sensible humanistic brain ability to understand or accept. “At the (Bridges) hospital, the (Yakima) county court, the law that handles mental health issues. The hotel staff. The neighbors who
relied on the hotel to call 911 instead of calling themselves. The police officer who answered me coldly that it is not a felony to not call 911.� When Mohamed’s family tried to get him to stay at the hotel they were at across town in Kent, Mohamed told them he wanted to remain at the Crossland Economy Studios on Pacific Highway on the West Hill, where he had stayed since February after he moved to town from California. Elfeqi and her parents asked
hotel staff and neighbors to call them or even 911 if any problems came up with Mohamed. “This is a story of a great man who died due to negligence and dismissal,� his sister said. “He was great and gifted. People we lose who are gifted, we need to change society and its flaws. When we dismiss and lose vulnerable people who are gifted, we lose the humanity of society.� When told details about Mohamed’s death, Ron Honberg, legal director for
the Virginia-based National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization, wasn't too surprised. “This sounds unfortunately like an all too common scenario not only in Washington state but around the country,� Honberg said during a phone interview. “We have

a perfect storm. There’s been a reduction of inpatient beds at hospitals and, at the same time, we are not seeing the development of community services. That is why so many people with mental illness fall through the cracks. “It’s a real problem, a real dilemma. I hear stories like this all the time.”
Body found Kent Police responded to the incident because Mohamed was naked and had obvious head trauma, according to police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson. Detective Angie Galetti and another detective investigated the case, which they closed shortly after looking into the details. “It’s been concluded that Mohamed either jumped or fell from the third story of Crosslands,” Galetti said in an email. “It was reported by other guests that he’d been acting erratically the previous day.” Mohamed, who had lived at the extended-stay hotel since Feb. 17, reportedly had been spotted by neighbors climbing naked up on a third-story railing the day before his death. Elfeqi had asked neighbors and hotel staff to call her or 911 about such incidents, but she or police didn't get any calls. “They let him be,” his sis-
ter said. “He tried to climb the railing on the balcony and went back to his room.” The next night, Mohamed went up on the railing again. Elfeqi said she knows he fell to his death and didn’t jump. “Everybody was negligent to him being in an episode where he is having delusions and hallucinations he is acting upon and this is how he hurt himself by accident,” his sister said. “This is not a suicide.” The hotel manager said her company, the North Carolina-based Extended Care Hotels chain, doesn’t allow her to talk to the media. She said she would refer questions to her corporate office for possible response but nobody returned a reporter's message for comment about the incident. The cause and manner of death of Mohamed are still pending, according to a King County Medical Examiner's Office spokesman on Tuesday. The examiner's office identified Mohamed on April 22 as the man found in the hotel parking lot. Elfeqi said she talked to the medical examiner's office. “They told me they endorse that he fell from the balcony, he was not jumping,” Elfeqi said. “They understand given the history of the case, they see possibly it could be acting out on
delusion but cannot be definite because that's not in the scope of what they can say.”
Yakima stop Mohamed ended up at the Bridges facility after a State Patrol trooper found him asleep and uncooperative in his vehicle alongside a road, detective Galetti said. He was later admitted to the treatment center before getting discharged on April 17 to his family. “(Bridges officials) thought he could be released, which was a huge mistake,” his sister said. “And they put him on more of a maintenance medication rather than a stronger or more potent anti-psychotic which should be able to abort the active episode he was in.” The family met with doctors at Bridges. “We explained his condition and that he should not be released,” Elfeqi said. “They didn't listen to us. They said the law doesn’t allow them to keep him.” Elfeqi said her brother was a smart man who knew how to act around doctors to get released from mental health facilities. She said he had been in and out of treatment centers while he lived in California for about eight years after moving there from Egypt to study sound engineering. “He knew what to say,” she said.

It frustrated Elfeqi that American law so strongly protects individual rights. “The law does not protect mental patients at all,” she said. Mohamed’s family tried to get a Yakima judge to stop his release from Bridges, but that effort failed as well. Elfeqi said the prosector and judge told them they understood the family's concerns but couldn't keep Mohamed confined if a doctor didn't classify him as being delusional. The Legislature in April passed a new law, referred to as Joel's Law, to go into effect 90 days after the session ends, that gives relatives a chance to keep someone with mental illness committed to a facility. Under Senate Bill 5269, relatives of mentally ill individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others would be able to petition the courts for involuntary commitment. The bill is named after Joel Reuter, who was fatally shot by Seattle police in 2013 during a bipolar disorder episode just weeks after being discharged from the hospital. Washington is one of seven states that currently prevents family members from petitioning the courts to review mental-healthcommitment determinations after a designated mental health professional decides not to detain a person.

comment about the case. Honberg, from NAMI, said he didn't know enough specifics about Mohamed's case, but many factors go into whether someone is treated. “There are a host of factors,” he said. “And it’s hard to treat someone against their will. We place a lot of emphasis on civil rights if you don't want to be treated.” Many people do live and do well despite having bipolar disorder. “With the proper treatment, you can recover,” Honberg said. “I know people with bipolar disorder who are doing really well. But you have to manage the illness just like you have to do with diabetes or other illnesses.” The family of Mohamed is considering whether to file any lawsuits. “We are looking for contingency lawyers interested in taking the case of my brother, we have very strong negligence of him being released when he needed to be treated and detained,” Elfeqi said.
The brother Ismail Mohamed, whose father is a psychiatrist and mother a pediatrician in Egypt, moved to California from Egypt about eight years ago to study sound engineering in the San Francisco area and later in Southern California, his sister said. He got married, had two children but later became divorced. His wife and two boys, ages 6 and 4, live in Egypt. He moved to Kent from California for a chance at more job opportunities. He worked various jobs, most recently in retail sales in Kent, his sister said. “He was super smart if it was not to being incapacitated so frequently by the illness,” Elfeqi said. “He did mostly sales. Lately, he was doing retail business – I think on commission basis. He was trying to raise money so his wife would allow him to see his kids.” Mohamed also loved music and wrote songs. His sister’s Facebook page includes a video of her brother singing. His sister said they wanted him to stay at their Kent
hotel rather than Crossland after returning from Yakima. “He was insisting he needed to get back to work and he wanted to be left alone and focused….We knew he was not doing well, blocking his thoughts. The doctors said he was blocking thoughts but dismissed the fact he could be harmful to himself. This is what we were so worried about.” Elfeqi holds on to many fond memories of her brother and his accomplishments. “He was brilliant,” she said. “He was a composer. He was a fifth-year medical student in Egypt. He worked with hearing aids and people suffering from tinnitus.” It’s been a difficult loss for his family. “We still cannot believe he is gone,” his sister said. “Our tears do not dry. ... He is my only younger brother, and only son to my parents. He was warm, kind and exceptional is so many ways. It is not a crime to suffer from a mood disorder. Ismail did not deserve what happened to him nor my family. We went into a major trauma.”
Better treatment Elfeqi hopes by sharing her brother's story improvements will be made about how mental illness is treated in America. “Maybe this happened for a higher cause,” she said. “We want to prevent other people from dying the same way.” Every year, 2.9 percent of the U.S. population is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, with nearly 83 percent of cases being classified as severe, according to NAMI. Bipolar disorder affects men and women equally. Ismail Mohamed constantly struggled with bipolar disorder. And his sister believes a lack of proper treatment helped lead to his death. “It could be any one of us,” she said. “What happens to you is you become a burden. They let you out and you can die. This system pushes you to madness. “My brother was killed because of the negligences of human beings. Maybe we can save other people.”

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

KOMEN ON A MISSION TO END BREAST CANCER Founded in 1992 by local volunteers who shared a vision of ending breast cancer forever, the Puget Sound Affiliate has invested more than $28.6 million to fight breast cancer. Funding from Race for the Cure and other Komen Puget Sound events support community programs, as well as groundbreaking science to find a cure. Komen funds breast cancer early detection and education. Here are just a few of the organizations that benefit:
Also, a minimum of 25 percent of the affiliate’s net income goes to breast cancer research. Here are just a few of the Komen Scholars funded in the past year: • Julie Gralow, M.D., of the University of Washington, is exploring whether there are features found on breast cancer cells at the time of diagnosis that make the cancer cells more likely to spread to the bone or other sites. Dr. Gralow and her team also test whether biophosphonates, a class of drugs that inhibit bone breakdown, can decrease breast cancer recurrence.
Cancer Lifeline—
Patient Assistance & Treatment Support, helping low-income patients who are in treatment for breast cancer. Washington State Department of Health—Komen Breast Cancer Screening & Diagnostic Program, lifesaving mammograms and diagnostic services to nearly 8,000 low income women
• Benjamin Anderson, M.D., of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, to continue his professional work in addressing breast cancer disparities around the globe.
Franciscan Foundation—
• Mary-Claire King, Ph.D., of the University of Washington to screen for mutations in the non-coding regions of breast cancer genes that may regulate when and where those genes get activated, potentially identifying novel mutations and new mechanisms for inherited breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Navigation Program, screening, diagnostics and treatment for Asian, Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic, Native American and sexual minority women in Tacoma/Pierce County
South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency— Native Women’s Wellness Program, providing breast health outreach, education, screening and support to women in rural tribal communities.
Dr. King is well known for her discovery of the BRCA1 gene. Studies have shown that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (combined with other known genetic risk mutations) account for about one-third of hereditary breast cancers.
Breast Cancer Warning Signs Because to the use of regular mammography screening, most breast cancers in the U.S. are found at an early stage – before signs appear. However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography. Though warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women, the most common signs are a change in the look or feel of a breast or nipple, or nipple discharge. If you have any of the warning
signs described below, see a health care provider. • Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area • Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast • Change in the size or shape of the breast • Dimpling or puckering of the skin • Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple • Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast • Nipple discharge that starts suddenly

RACE FOR THE CURE • 5
THERE’S A SAYING THAT VOLUNTEERS DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE TIME, but they do have heart. If that’s true, then Susan G. Komen Puget Sound volunteer Barb Tiller has heart—lots of it. The 70-year-old Seattle native has been an active Komen Puget Sound volunteer for 20 years, beginning her involvement with the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1996. This year’s Race for the Cure brings Barb’s volunteer career full circle as she tackles the challenge of wrangling close to 500 helpers as the Race volunteer co-chair. “I’ve always loved Komen, ever since I started volunteering,” Barb says. That love was born of a chance meeting with a pair of breast cancer survivors, a meeting she counts as a transformational moment in her journey. “They were so full of life and happy,” she recalls. “They’d just gone through treatment and losing a breast, and I thought ‘How could they be happy going through something like that?’” Barb soon recognized
that it is the feeling of sisterhood among survivors that lies at the root of their joy. Since then, Barb has been an active Komen volunteer, providing support for everything from administrative work in the organization’s downtown Seattle office to greeting guests at events. Her volunteer work, she says, “is just something of a passion now. I want to continue to work with Komen and be a part of the cure.” As Race volunteer cochair, Barb is charged with managing a variety of roles required to ensure the event goes smoothly. However, her greatest joy in the role is in seeing all of the other who are also interested in finding a cure. She is inspired by these volunteers, many of them breast cancer survivors, who share her determination to bring an end to the disease.
WINNING THE FIGHT, HELPING OTHERS BEAT THEIR PLIGHT WITH CANCER When last the Renton Reporter spoke to breast cancer survivor Jennifer Teeler, she had put three years between her and her battle with the disease. Now at 50, she’s been in remission for six years and said she’s still experienced more joy in life than sorrow. Back in 2012, Teeler was into her lifestyle change, foregoing using a microwave and passing up fast food, eating vegetables and exercising. Today her house still does not have a microwave, something she and her family gave up because she thought it may have ill effects on their health. She’s also kept her commitment to use plastic bottles sparingly and limits processed food. “I’m still somewhat active,” she said. “But I don’t do either of those things as well as I did last time we talked,” she said of eating veggies and exercising. She tried to get her family to follow suit, but said that they eat more junk food as a reaction to her rejection of it, she thinks. Her husband Tony and her
WAYS TO SUPPORT A SURVIVOR It may be hard to know what to say or do when someone has breast cancer, even when you really want to help. Susan G. Komen has resources for “co-survivors,” along with suggested ways to offer support and take care of yourself during this difficult time. A co-survivor can be anyone who offers support, including family, friends, spouses, partners, kids, co-workers, healthcare providers, support groups and spiritual advisors. There are many ways to support a survivor. Thoughtful gestures big and small mean a lot, whether the person has just been diagnosed or completed treatment years ago. By giving support you show strength and love. There are three main types of support: informational, emotional and practical. Survivors may need different types of support at different times. Informational support involves learning all you can about breast cancer, because the more you know, the more you can help. You can learn common breast cancer terms and treatment options, make a list of questions to ask the
daughters Ellie and Abigail have been known to have a Big Mac from time to time. One thing that hasn’t changed is Teeler’s faith. It still defines her and has carried her through recent trials with family members. When she was diagnosed with cancer at age 42, her life had been pretty easy up until that point and she’d had no history of the disease in her family. Last year her sister, at age 45, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Soon after she finished treatment, their mom suffered kidney failure and is now on dialysis. If that wasn’t enough, last Christmas Teeler’s father had surgery on his carotid artery. “Everyone is doing well now, but dealing with my own diagnosis gave me the tools to help the rest of my family as we dealt with one dire situation after another,” Teeler said. “On the flip side though, God has also filled my life with a happy marriage, healthy children - one who is graduating from high school this year - family vacations, new nieces and nephews, lots of reasons to rejoice and much more joy than sorrow.” Teeler has the privilege, she said, of walking beside many women who are undergoing cancer treatment, as the volunteer resource manager for
doctor, or gather information for your loved one and share what you’ve learned. Emotional support means you’re aware a diagnosis of breast cancer can bring about a wide range of emotions including shock, fear, denial, sadness and anger. As your loved one goes through this, just listen. Let them express their feelings. Give them a hug if it will be of comfort. Practical support means helping with dayto-day tasks. You could offer to cook or clean, drive them to the doctor, deliver a hot meal, do laundry, send a note or watch their kids. Sometimes co-survivors need help too. Support groups are available for caregivers. You can also ask others to help so that you can take a break. By going to www.komen.org/cosurvivor, you can connect with others on Komen’s cosurvivor message board and create an online calendar to assist your loved one. If you’re a co-survivor in need of support or tips, visit www.komen.org/cosurvivor or call the breast care helpline at 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636).
Jennifer and Tony Teeler in March. the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen. She tries to impart to other women some of the peace and strength God gave her when she was on the same path. Time is still worth more than money to her, which is why she enjoys her work at the nonprofit. “Once you spend an hour or a day or a week, you can never earn it back,” Teeler said. “That’s one of the reasons that I so enjoy working with volunteers. I believe that it’s easier to give a dollar to a good cause than to
give an hour. Volunteers are generous people who believe so passionately in the organization they are supporting that they are willing to give their time to that organization.” Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® still has lots of volunteer jobs available for the race, June 7, at Seattle Center.

KENT REPORTER • MAY 22, 2015
Continuing the journey CHAMBERS LEADS THE FABULOUS FOOBS With a name like The Fabulous Foobs, the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure team co-led by survivor Dana Chambers would have a good story behind it. Indeed, “foobs” are the result of Dana’s own journey, which began in December 2013 with a needle biopsy and diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma. Dana, married and “mom” to a quarter horse named Gunnar, was told to prepare for surgery, chemo and a long, difficult year. Determined to win the battle, she opted for a double mastectomy, and ended up having 16 lymph nodes out too.
Dana recalls a difficult recovery from surgery, followed by a surprising rebound during chemo. Though she lost her hair and experienced pain and fatigue, she took RV trips with her husband, rode Gunnar and made progress on her quilting projects. “I was not about to let cancer rule my life and take away the things I love the most,” she said. She signed up for her first Race for the Cure and joined thousands of Komen Puget Sound supporters and fundraisers at Seattle Center last June. “At the end of the onemile walk I was so warm that I decided to remove my bandana in public for the first time,” she said. A photographer captured the moment when a friend kissed Dana’s bald head.

estrogen medicine along with radiation. With treatments and reconstruction still in her future, Dana works at maintaining a positive attitude, expressing thanks to God, family, friends and
a supportive medical team. “I’m going to the gym, walking, riding my horse and living my life,” Dana said. “And I’ll see all of you at Race for the Cure on June 7!”
Breast cancer and family life Patients get well faster with family support.
Family is at the heart of everyday life for most people. Busy schedules are filled with work, school, daycare, and hobbies. Add to that all the shopping, housework, and a few other activities and suddenly you’re faced with overload. Such is life, vibrant and joyful, until the day when the unthinkable happens. Mom (or even Dad, although it’s more rare) develops breast cancer. Even though breast cancer primarily affects women, men can also receive this diagnosis. A newly diagnosed person sometimes has to leave her job, either temporarily or permanently, to undergo the appropriate treatment. The family has to
reorganize and confront increased expenses and a reduction in income, especially if the parent has to be sent away to be treated. Indeed, oncology centers are usually located in large urban areas. It is quite understandable that parents feel totally distraught at the thought of having to leave their children and suffer through this ordeal all alone. Fortunately, many types of support are available. Common supports are loved ones, self-help groups, organizations and foundations that provide counseling, and accommodations near specialized oncology centers. With the Internet, webcams, and social media, it is now much easier to communicate from a distance and experience the support of family. It is important to stay in touch with children and stay involved in their daily lives; it helps make the long wait seem shorter, and it soothes everyone’s worries. In happiness as in adversity, it is comforting to be able to count on a united family. Send a clear message to those treacherous cancer cells—the family will have the last word!

PINK SCOUT PATCHES HONOR THOSE WHO BATTLE BREAST CANCER
over the spring and summer. Since the initial patch was created, the designs have become wildly popular. Last fall, he presented a $3,500 check to Komen Puget Sound, and he’s not done yet – he’s still selling patches and accepting invitations to speak about the project. From a young age, Yuasa was exposed to the unpredictable effects of breast cancer on his family, which he credits for teaching him some very important life lessons. Watching his loved one live each day without missing a beat – and continuing to go to work during chemotherapy and radiation treatments – led Taylan to his fundraising project.

Making healthy lifestyle choices Healthy lifestyle choices may help lower your risk of different types of cancer and other health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Though not all these behaviors lower the risk of breast cancer, they are good for overall health.
• Eat at least 2 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables every day. • Choose 100 percent whole grain foods (such as 100 percent whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, millet and quinoa).
• Be physically active (get regular exercise).
• Limit red meat and processed meat. Choose chicken, fish or beans more often.
• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. (Survivors who are overweight or obese should limit high-calorie foods and beverages and increase physical activity to help with weight loss.)
• Limit “bad” fats (saturated and trans fats). These are found in foods such as red meat, fatty deli meats, poultry skin, full fat dairy, fried foods, margarine, donuts and microwave popcorn.
• Eat “good” fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats). These are found in foods such as olive and canola oil, nuts and natural nut butters, avocado and olives. • Limit alcohol intake to less than one drink a day for women and fewer than two drinks a day for men. Being physically active, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and to a lesser degree, eating fruits and vegetables may help lower your risk of breast cancer. Other factors are good for your overall health and may help lower the risk of other types of cancer.

Duo, coach ignite Royals tennis revival BY HEIDI SANDERS
hsanders@kentreporter.com
KENTWOOD BASEBALL EARNS REGIONAL BERTH Mike Ciancio went 2 for 3 with a double, RBI and a run scored as Kentwood High downed Timberline 8-2 in the 4A West Central District playoffs at Kent Memorial Park last Saturday, clinching a spot into next weekend’s regional state tournament. The Conquerors, the district’s No. 3 seed, play Union in an elimination game at 1 p.m. Saturday at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma. Earlier last Saturday, South Kitsap downed Kentwood 3-1, in a district semifinal, dropping the Conks into the third-fourth seed game. Against Timberline, starter Chris Hastings and reliever Chaz Lopez combined on a four-hitter. Austin Holm, Ben Wadowski, Kramer Sims and Cory Wabinga each had two hits. Holm doubled and drove in two runs. Wabinga also drove in two runs.
For the first time in 13 years, a girls tennis doubles team from Kent-Meridian High School is heading to the district tournament. Karissa Vongkhamchanh and Gheremie Icban will represent the Royals at the Class 4A West Central District 3 tournament Friday and Saturday in Tumwater. Vongkhamchanh and Icban, both juniors, became friends in middle school while enrolled in the Kent Technology Academy at Mill Creek and decided to turn out for tennis their freshman year. “I know I didn’t want to do track,â€? Vongkhamchanh said. “In middle school, I did track. I wanted to do a spring sport because the weather is nice. I wanted to do something besides soccer, and then I thought why not give tennis a try. It looks fun. We (Vongkhamchanh and Icban) said we were going to do it together.â€? Both girls have athletic backgrounds - Vongkhamchanh plays soccer and Icban is a volleyball player - which has helped them do well in tennis, coach Maryann Thorp said. “I think there’s not that many girls on the team that have played other sports, “Thorp said. “But the two that have excelled, have gotten the furthest are the ones that have played another sport. They are used to competing‌ I think it really plays into that competi-
Kent-Meridian’s Gheremie Icban, left, and doubles partner Karissa Vongkhamchanh work on their game in preparation for this weekend’s West Central District 3 tournament. HEIDI SANDERS, Kent Reporter tive aspect of the game.� It wasn’t until this season that Vongkhamchanh and Icban played doubles together. “We always did doubles but never really together,� Icban said. “We wanted to do it last year, but they always put us in singles.� Even this year, the pair only played a few regular season matches together. “They are two of my strongest players,� Thorp said. “Sometimes you don’t want to put your two best in doubles. You might want to have one play singles and one play doubles so you have a chance to win two points instead of just one. I knew they were going to play postseason together cause I like to let the girls have a chance to play what they want postseason.� Icban and Vongkham-
chanh said they were both surprised when they found out they had qualified for the district tournament. The duo placed eighth in the subdistrict tournament. The top 11 teams moved on to districts. “At first I didn’t really know we qualified for districts,� Icban said. “I just knew that we won the last game (at subdistricts) and then it wasn’t until she (Thorp) was so excited and she was like jumping up and down and I was like oh I guess we are going to districts.� Thorp said she wasn’t surprised by the pair’s success. “We always preach 100 percent effort and attitude and that’s it,� Thorp said. “And so if you do those things, you have a shot. If you don’t control those things, like the attitude and
the effort, then you might not have a shot‌ You just have to believe. That has been another big slogan for the year, is just believing in themselves, that they can do it. They have been proving it all year long in different ways. It has been fun to watch.â€? This is Thorp’s first season coaching the Royals team, but she is no stranger to Kent-Meridian’s tennis program. She won the 1979 state singles tennis title as a student at Kent-Meridian in 1979. Thorp previously coached at Kennedy Catholic High School in Burien, but was excited to make the move to Kent-Meridian. “I knew coming in here that they had only won one match in 10 years,â€? she said. “It just sounded like a fun challenge. I just kind
of came in with the goals to have fun, to get the girls to improve and to get respect (for the team from other tennis programs). Those were my three big goals for the team, and it (the season) definitely exceeded my expectations.� The team won five matches this year, including three conference wins. Vongkhamchanh and Icban attributed their success and the team’s improvement to Thorp’s coaching. “It made us want to come to practice,� Vongkhamchanh said. “I was just talking to the girls (on the team) they were like, ‘I miss tennis season. It was so fun this year compared to the other years.’ That just makes people want to come back more. We saw girls playing (on their own) even when the season was over.� The team had fun off the court as well, with team bonding activities including a water balloon fight, a scavenger hunt and a potluck, that showcased the team’s diversity. The 35 girls on the team speak 23 languages and brought dishes from their respective cultures to the potluck. “I think it is very cool that we can learn something new from each other,� Vongkhamchanh said. Thorp said she looks forward to returning as coach next season. “We are only losing three seniors,� she said. “I believe we have like 13 juniors [ more TENNIS page 12 ]

Use caution as you plant your vegetables The third week of May is when you may be tempted to plant everything into your vegetable garden, and it is true that tomatoes, squash, beans and basil will survive if planted into the ground in mid May. But hold on. In past years in Western Washington, we still can be hit with cool night temperatures that dip below 50 degrees and these chilly nights will not mean death to the warmth loving veggies but it could stunt their growth. Experienced gardeners wait until the first or even the second week of June before leaving basil outdoors overnight and unless you have a raised bed or a hot spot against a west- or south-facing wall your tomatoes will do better if you delay planting until June. Planting the seeds of corn, beans and squash this week is also a gamble. The seeds may sprout but a cool night could send the new seedlings into a dreary funk with little growth. If you wait until the second week of June, the seeds will sprout sooner in the warm soil and without the worry of cool nights the new sprouts will quickly catch up with any seeds that were planted in May. This means you have extra time to prepare the soil by removing the
weeds, adding compost or other organic matter and working fertilizer into the soil where you will be planting vegetables. Coleus is another plant that hates cool nights. If you plant coleus outdoors grow it in pots so you can move the plants close to the house at night until mid June.

coming back. We have a lot of juniors. The next year after that, we might be a little depleted. We are working on the farm team. We’ve got some good freshman.� Icban said she is excited by the prospect of having Thorp as a coach again next season. “We have had different coaches (each year) since freshman (year),� Icban said. “Now I just feel more comfortable, more familiar.� Icban said she plans to focus on tennis during the off season. “That includes working out in the summer and then fall and then winter, so come tennis season, I am more prepared and feel more confident,� she said. Vongkhamchanh said her goal this season was to make districts, so she is setting her hopes higher for next year. “Next season I hope that we (Vongkhamchanh and Icban) will play more together, like more matches, so we can more practice to move past districts before I graduate,� she said.

Q. I want to start growing my own vegetables but deer are a problem in our neighborhood. What do you recommend to keep deer away from my vegetable garden? K. Email
A.
A fence is the best defense for deer. They are browsers and will taste anything but using deer repellent sprays on your food crops is not recommended. You do not need to spend a lot of money fencing off a deer-free zone. Farm and home center stores now sell black plastic webbing on a roll made to create an almost invisible deer fence. You just supply the sturdy fencing posts using metal rebar or stakes that will rise 7 feet from the ground and attach the flexible fencing material with plastic ties or stables. You will need to construct a gate or leave a flap that can be opened up and closed in the fence
line. As an added bonus the webbed plastic disappears from a distant view and if secured to the ground with pegs will keep out raccoons, cats and dogs.
Q.
If you were to recommend some vegetables for a child’s first edible garden, what would you suggest? I will be helping with the garden but am not that experienced at growing food myself. G.G., Buckley
A.
Welcome to incredible edibles and my first suggestion is to plant what you both like to eat. Radishes are quick to sprout and a harvest can be had in as little as 30 days, but most kids don’t appreciate the sharp bite of a fresh radish. You may want to grow with bush beans and cherry tomatoes instead. Don’t forget you can plant nasturtium seeds now for summer long color and the leaves, blossoms and seed pods are all edible and fun to add to summer salads or as a pickle substitute inside a hamburger. Some young gardeners prefer fruit to vegetables and strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are all crops that do especially well in the cool summer climate of Western Washington.
Q.
I am tired of green tomatoes at the end of the summer. What varieties that taste better than

“Early Girl� will ripen up and turn red before the end of September? I already grow my tomato plants in the sunniest spot of the garden. S.M., Renton
A.
Look for orange or yellow tomatoes with small fruit if you want to have plenty of flavors from ripe tomatoes. Yellow pear tomatoes, Husky Gold, Gold Nugget and any of the small fruited cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100 or Sweet One Million will have a sweeter flavor than the early ripening Early Girl or Early Cascade varieties. You may also want to make this the summer you use a hoop house of clear plastic or spun polyester over your tomato plants to capture the heat and protect them from cool nights. If you only want a few plants, grow your tomatoes in heat-absorbing black plastic pots that sit against a west- or south-facing wall. Growing them near a mass of concrete from a driveway or patio will also help to raise the night temperature and encourage early ripening of the fruit.
