As architects design the new Federal Way High School, some educators want the future building to include a child care center. In fact, such a feature has the potential to reduce the dropout rate and teen pregnancy rates, all while supplementing education for the entire school. Sherry Kerr runs the Teen Parent Program at Federal Way High School (FWHS). Each day, Kerr works with more than a dozen teen parents — including dads — to help them graduate. One obstacle to attendance is the lack of child care. Without child care, these teen parents have little choice but to skip school. “Most have Grandma watch the baby. Otherwise, they stay home,” Kerr said, adding that her class has an allencompassing “whatever it takes to succeed” philosophy. “We’re here to graduate and move forward.” [ more CHILD CARE, page 4 ]

FRED: Big green buses deliver summer meals and enrichment By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Three big green buses with a friendly frog on the side will make the rounds throughout Federal Way this summer, in a joint effort between Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) and United Way-King County (UWKC). Named FRED by the district for Fun, Read, Eat, Dream, the three buses are part of the summer meals program FWPS has provided to all children ages 19 and under since 1989. The program also ties into a One Million Meals program that United Way is rolling out this summer. “In Federal Way itself, there are about 12,000 children who rely on the free and reduced lunch program,” said UWKC representative Michaele Szillat at the June 11 school board meeting. “Only about one in seven actually use the summer meals program which is available. That puts us near the bottom for our participation rate, about 40th out of the 50 states. So clearly there are kids who aren’t getting all the nutrition they need, they’re facing hunger, and they have a diet their family can afford but isn’t very nutritious.” Szillat said UWKC is still looking for volunteers. Visit bit.ly/meals4kidsFW or

Sound Transit addresses parking, bus congestion By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Sound Transit had three representatives on hand during the June 4 Federal Way City Council meeting to give an update on efforts to alleviate parking congestion at the Federal Way Transit Center. The regional transit authority is also trying to alleviate rider congestion on some of the more popular bus routes that begin and end in Federal Way. “We’re really working hard to kind of balance these competing needs from our customers for parking and service, as well as our financial situation,” said Chelsea Levy, a Sound Transit spokesperson for South King and Pierce counties. “We are evaluating opportunities to lease parking near the Transit Center to address this overflow issue we’ve been working through the past couple of years.” Levy said an actual lot has not yet been identified, but that it would be “within walking distance” of the transit center. “We plan to have this parking available to commuters this summer, and we really think this is a tangible way that not only you, as council members, but as adjacent property owners, will see results from this overflow parking issue,” Levy said. “We’ll be updating you and your staff as we move forward on implementing this leased parking over the course of the next several weeks and months.” Levy also announced that starting June 10, the 577 express bus will have an additional run during afternoon peak times. This will complement an added run during morning peak times that was implemented last year.
While those are some of the short-term solutions, parking continues to be a major issue for Sound Transit and its 23 parking facilities throughout the region, said Michael Miller, manager of customer facilities and accessible service. “Of these 23 facilities, 13 of them are at 94 percent capacity or higher,” Miller said. “The Federal Way facility has 1,190 stalls, and it is currently at 99 percent capacity. Two additional facilities are at 99 percent capacity…We are experiencing high parking volumes at all of our facilities.” Miller said data shows that the majority of people using the Federal Way Transit Center live within 4 miles of the facility. Rachel Wilch, associate planner for Sound Transit, shared some pilot programs that the agency hopes the board of directors will approve in the future to alleviate parking congestion. The goal is to increase the number of transit riders per parking stall at facilities, she said. The three pilot programs being explored include a parking permit program for “premium” parking spaces, a promotional program to get transit commuters to carpool to transit facilities, and parking monitoring systems, Wilch said. For the permit pilot program, Wilch said the permitted spaces would only be in effect during morning peak hours. If this idea were to become a permanent feature for Sound Transit, she said it’s been written into the plan to make sure there will always be some sort of non-permitted parking spaces at transit facilities. The parking monitoring pilot would allow the agency to provide realtime information to customers about parking availability.

NEWS
A construction company mistakenly ripped up the running track at the wrong middle school in the Federal Way district. On Monday morning, a grader operator from Lloyd Enterprises tore up 15 to 20 percent of the rubber track at Sequoyah Middle School, 3425 S. 360th St., Auburn. The project manager arrived and realized they had the wrong school. “He knew in his heart that it didn’t seem right because it looked like it was in pretty good shape,” relayed Rod Leland, facilities director for the school district. The construction was slated for Saghalie Middle School, 33914 19th Ave. SW, Federal Way. Crews are working at the site this week, and the new track will be finished in about a
Orion Industries breaks ground FROM THE Auburn Reporter
Since 1957, Federal Waybased Orion Industries has trained people struggling with barriers to employment, helping them land good jobs in the community. In 2012, the company provided more than 350 people with services, placing more than 110 of them in jobs in King and Pierce counties. That achievement, company officials say, is worth $3 million to the region. Today, Orion’s manufacturing enterprise supplies precision machined parts and sub-assemblies to aero-
• Vehicle prowl: At 7:05 a.m. June 9 in the 31000 block of Gateway Blvd. S., unknown suspects broke into the victim’s vehicle and stole two laptop computers and a bag of softball gear. • Lawn ornaments stolen: At 3:16 p.m. June 9 in the 100 block of South 361st Place, a woman reported that unknown suspects had stolen approximately $40 in lawn ornaments from her yard. The report notes the victim had a surveillance system, but there was no usable footage of the suspects. • Stealing from a charity shed: At 5:53 p.m. June 9 in the 2200 block of South 320th Street, the reporting party indicated four people were taking goods from a charity’s donation shed. One suspect was belligerent when approached by police, and was arrested. • Drunken assault: At 6:52 p.m. June 9 in the 33000 block of Pacific Highway South, a drunk man assaulted another man for no apparent reason, according to the report. space, automotive, marine and medical customers throughout the world. Orion was recently named a Boeing Supplier of the Year out of 17,000 suppliers in 52 countries. On June 6, President and CEO John Theisen grabbed a shovel, stuck on a hard hat and joined other dirt-throwing dignitaries breaking ground on a new 100,000-square-foot building at 1590 A St. NE. in Auburn. The site is 6.5 acres of undeveloped property west of the Auburn Municipal Airport, north of the Metro Park and Ride. Kathy Powers, Orion’s director of services, said the building will house corporate operations and the company’s growing manufacturing, contact center services, and training and employment divisions when it opens in February 2014. In Federal Way, Orion employs 225 people in its three buildings. With the move to Auburn, the company expects to add to its workforce.

As an extension of the state’s GRADS (Graduation, Reality, and Dual-Role Skills) program, Kerr teaches more than academic lessons. These teen mothers and fathers learn practical life skills such as parenting, nutrition, employment and time management. FWHS senior Allison Susedik, 19, retrieved lost credits and set the stage for graduation this month. Now she is preparing for a summer job search. “If I wasn’t in this program, I don’t know what I’d do,” said Susedik, whose original graduation date was 2012. As the mother of an 18-month-old son, Susedik relies on assistance from the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to pay for child care. Before she qualified for benefits, the lack of affordable child care meant missing months of school. “I missed a lot and was really behind,” she said. Susedik said child care at FWHS would be a big help, especially for students without reliable transportation or access to affordable care. Michelle Green, a teacher at South Lake High School in Seattle, lauded her school’s child care program. “My students would tell you that without the child care, they would be unable to attend school on a regular basis,” Green said in an email. “The child care or Parent Education Lab, as we call it at our school, is there to not only provide a much

needed place for the babies to go during the school hours, but also provide a place to foster breastfeeding, and help young mothers with one-on-one parenting skills.”
Moving forward Educators say on-site child care removes a critical barrier for teen parents. “If you give them on-site care and transportation, they stay in school and tend to return to school,” said Mary Nagel, program supervisor for family and consumer science education at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Nagel oversees 585 teachers across the state in 31 different courses, which includes GRADS. The state received a $6 million grant last year to improve the program. Federal Way’s program is one of two that lacks on-site child care. A child care facility in Federal Way could give the new high school a “learning lab” for other courses, Nagel said. In Sumner, for example, hundreds of students used the system to supplement their studies. Foreign language stu-

dents taught songs to the children, and journalism students prepared books to read to the children. Nagel said the program doubles as a de facto form of birth control because teens involved in GRADS have fewer repeat pregnancies, while non-parents can witness the work and commitment of raising a child. Mary Ann Yamaguchi is a health teacher in the Highline School District and a consultant for Federal Way schools. She has been involved with child care at the region’s public schools since the 1970s. She urged the Federal Way School Board last month to consider on-site child care in the new high school. “It’s not something you want to think about as a retrofit,” said Yamaguchi, noting the regulations for a toddler-friendly facility. “If we’re going to go forward with this, now’s the time to have the conversation.” Schools are typically reimbursed through DSHS, she said. Schools can host a child care center while a private agency handles the operations. That’s the case at Highline Community College, whose child care is run by Children’s Home Society. Located on the Des Moines campus, the facility serves students and staff, but is open to the public. Yamaguchi suggested that Federal Way could take a similar approach by providing the space for little or no cost, then partnering with a social service agency. Claire Wilson of the Federal Way School Board has spent her career in the education field, specifically in early learning. Wilson has worked with teen parents and praised the educational potential of a child care facility in Federal Way schools. Such a facility, she said, represents a logical extension of early learning programs in the state that reach preschoolers. “In our focus on early learning, those early learners include children of the children we serve in Federal Way,” Wilson said. “This isn’t about advocating for young people to have children, but we can’t negate the fact it has and will happen.”

Data: Same sex couples are 20% of marriages
By ANDY HOBBS
From staff reports
editor@fedwaymirror.com
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) released the first round of data on same sex marriage in the state since it was made legal with last November’s election. According to the DOH, nearly 2,500 same sex couples were married between Dec. 6, 2012, and March 31, 2013. These marriages accounted for nearly 20 percent of total marriages in the state for the same time period. In fact, 35 of 39 Washington state counties saw same sex couples tie the knot, with King County having the lion’s share of those marriages. In King County, onethird of all marriages for the December-March period were for same sex couples. The only counties not reporting same sex marriages are Ferry, Asotin, Garfield and Wahkiakum. According to the DOH’s statistics, the majority of the same sex marriages in the state were among women, accounting for 63 percent of the same sex marriages in the first few months of the new law’s
Next to rows of veggies and ripening strawberries at the Truman Community Garden is a new sensory garden, where nurture complements nature. With guidance from special education teacher Jennifer Babcock, the sensory garden was designed to be therapeutic and educational. Babcock works with students who have severe autism and developmental disabilities. These students have planted much of the garden through tasks that provide structure. The sensory garden is viewed as a stress-free zone. Kids and adults alike can walk the tranquil trails to decompress. They can explore hands-on activities with the therapy swing, sensory sandbox, a “quiet tent” and a sheeting water stimulus fountain. “If you have a brain,” said Carol Stanley, member of the Federal Way Community Gardens Foundation, “that garden is going to work for you.” On June 8, the Truman Community and Sensory Therapy Garden was of-
ficially dedicated. Located on the campus of Truman High School, 31455 28th Ave. S., the garden first broke ground in September 2010. In that time, the garden has generated more than 10,000 pounds of organic produce for hungry seniors and food pantries. The garden is maintained by the non-profit gardens foundation. At the Truman dedication ceremony, Franciscan Health System presented the foundation with a check for $10,000. The money will help further the foundation’s mission for spreading health and wellness in Federal Way. “Our goal is to make Federal Way a city of beautiful, productive gardens,” said Cynthia Kannenberg, a foundation member and manager of the Women’s Health and Breast Center at St. Francis Hospital.

How did council miss chiropractor scandal? I find it very disheartening that our city council and Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell apparently do not read our city newspaper (or the Seattle PI and Tacoma News Tribune). If they did, they would have known that Greg Summers was accused of sexual misconduct with his patients and would have made an informed decision before needing to call a special session within days of his appointment. It was in the papers on several occasions. How could they miss it? As for Jim Ferrell to be quoted as being “deeply disturbed” about the city staff not doing their job, I just have to say: I am deeply
Nandell Palmer
In what can only be described as a bizarre and controversial decision, City Attorney Pat Richardson stopped the investigation into the complaint filed by Councilmember Kelly Maloney against Mayor Skip Priest. The investigator, hired by Richardson, expressed a concern about the investigation being used for political purposes, and since it involved public employees and public money, felt that it might be assisting a campaign. The investigator makes that point in two ways. First, that Maloney told the mayor’s opponent about the complaint, and secondly, that the complaint was in the newspaper. In the structural alignment of the city council, Maloney was telling Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell, the leader of the council. While Ferrell may also be the mayor’s election opponent, that is who she is supposed to tell, and the city attorney should have told the investigator that. The mayor’s opponent declined comment on the issue. Maloney also declined comment until the mayor’s communications staff put out a press release quoting the mayor. Only then did Maloney give a quote. The complaint and completed report are within the public domain and were properly released after The Mirror requested copies. If any citizen knew they existed, all they had to do was ask for them. And with all the procedural steps and several interviews that are part of a investigation, there was never
any likelihood that this investigation would remain secret. And it shouldn’t — not if City Hall truly supports transparency. Under the investigator’s apparent reasoning, no elected official or appointed staff could investigate, or be investigated, or be prosecuted for misconduct, because the investigation might surface in a campaign. These are simple questions and should have been easily dismissed by the attorney’s office. For example, the city attorney didn’t question that the mayor used staffproduced police statistics in his re-election announcement. It’s the same principle. Then the mayor’s communications manager, Chris Carrel, issued another press release that said: “Due to the concern expressed by the investigator about a possible violation of state statute, the city attorney consulted with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) which confirmed that concluding the investigation probably prevented a violation of state law”. That’s not quite what they said. The commission’s written record of the conversation with Richardson says: “I explained the definition of normal and regular conduct and said that so long as the city staff ’s actions meet the definition, they don’t have to worry whether the other actors (candidates, media) might make political use of the city’s work product — e.g., [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ]

EDITORIAL
I still remember that Saturday morning some years ago when my family and I drove northbound on 1st Avenue from the library. I was blue in the face when the two older boys taunted their baby brother for his inability to spell his middle name. Refusing to go home, we drove around Federal Way until he was able to spell his name in its entirety that day. Ask me to explain what has happened over those years with my son’s less-than-sterling spelling record to his becoming a Cambridge student and the go-to guy on technical matters, and you would make a liar out of me. I’m still at a loss for word every time I have to call on his expertise to navigate a new phone, iPad, shortcut in texting, or creating a more favorable Facebook layout. Well, as the saying goes, “The little ones shall lead them.” My only fear now: what if he decided to get even with me one of these days for my drilling him to spell his name that fateful morning? What if he asked me to perform some basic algorithm on a laptop, which he deemed a basic task to all grown men? I’m prepared. Never in the history of mankind have we seen such role reversal like what we are witnessing today, particularly over the past 30 years. Parents were always counted on to teach their children like teachers instruct their students. But today, more and more, millions of parents, grandparents and teachers are looking to their children, grandchildren, and students for help. What must it feel like when a father has to consult his children on a particular subject where they’ve now surpassed Daddy’s elementary skill? What happens when a daughter outshines her mother in making a better pot roast than the woman who taught her? It must take a lot of humility and confidence to survive those realities. As parents, we stand to gain a lot if we would swallow our pride and learn from our children in the most organic way. We ought to relax the “Daddy/Mommy knows best” mantra, and start seeing the world through our children’s eyes. Scamper carefree through the park with them. Traverse the hinterland of play and be inspired by what excites them instead of wagging the correcting finger. While some parents perhaps have a hunch as to the kinds of children they’re raising, most of us don’t have the slightest clue. So, why not raise them like future millionaires or innovators? I doubt that Steve Jobs or Bill Gates’ parents knew that their baby boys would change the world in [ more PALMER, page 17 ]

D. Hagen, Federal Way
Investigator fails to find truth at City Hall So, has anyone actually read the statement made by Federal Way City Councilmember Kelly Maloney and compared it to the report
of the “independent” investigator? Reading the full statement will give the reader insight into one of her primary concerns: the hostile work environment at the city for city employees. Her concern seems to be: if the mayor treats elected officials badly, then how does he treat staff that have less power? Why are so many people leaving city employment? Is it because of the same type of conduct by the mayor? Yet, the “independent” report makes no mention of this most important issue and makes no attempt to look into the concern.
Instead, the scope of the investigation was limited to whether there was a threat to “personal safety.” I am not a lawyer, but a hostile work environment allegation does not need to be supported by a showing that someone’s personal safety is threatened; it is a much lower threshold than that. The investigator’s own words reveal the most telling flaw in the report. She states: “The primary difference in their accounts is how Mayor Priest’s behavior and purported anger was characterized.” Yet, when she had evidence handed to her that a staff member stated that “it got pretty loud in there,” in her own words stated that she “did not follow up with an [ more LETTERS, page 7 ]

[ LETTERS from page 6] interview with this employee because, based on Mayor Priest’s admission, I do find he spoke loudly to Ms. Maloney at times during this exchange.” What? The only thing he admitted was that he went into “direct mode.” He denied using the F word, denied “yelling” and essentially called Ms. Maloney a liar. Yet, the investigator chose not to talk to the very witness who actually heard how loud it was? Sounds like the fact finder did not want to find facts that would discredit the mayor’s version. The entire strategy of the mayor’s minions in this paper and apparently in this investigation has been to blame the victim. Do they really think we are that stupid? Despite the investigator’s veiled attempts to rise above politics emphasizing that her report was not political, she spent 10 pages playing down and discrediting Ms. Maloney’s accounts and spent no time trying to find the truth. She even consulted with the city attorney to stop the investigation even though more witnesses were being identified. When all else fails, follow the money. Who hired the “independent investigator?” The city attorney. Who authorizes payment to the investigator? The city attorney. Who does the city attorney work for and who does she depend on for her paycheck? The mayor. Case closed. Remember this when the hostile work environment lawsuits start pouring in and taxpayers are left to foot the bill for the mayor’s “direct mode.” At least Kelly Maloney tried to stop it. We will not be able to say the same for the city attorney or the investigator she hired to cover this all up and sweep everything under the rug.

Right here in Federal Way, we are preparing the ground for a robust cluster of technology-based companies. Early stage companies in medical technologies, clean technology, energy efficiency software, robotics and hand-held devices are being supported as they take their first steps toward viable commercial businesses. What’s our rationale? New businesses will play a core role in our economic growth as we emerge from the great recession — and protect us against the severity of future recessions. As King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer stated at the Federal Way Chamber’s Economic Breakfast: in Bellevue malls, there was little sign of economic downturn during the great recession. We can do that here too. We will build technology-

News media demonize FW police Well, here we go again, another article about “police brutality” and finding a way to give the Federal Way Police Department a black eye. Just never seems to stop — that is until a citizen needs the help of the Federal Way Police Department. After reading about that young woman’s altercation with two Federal Way officers, and if you read the whole article, you might wonder her reasons for calling the 911 operator, when the police cruiser pulled in behind her in the apartment driveway, with lights flashing and “Federal Way Police” clearly written on the side of his cruiser. She said she was being attacked and needed assistance, after the officer told her to stay in her car, but she did not. The picture of this young woman shows a very bad black and blue left eye, with facial bruising on the side of the left side of her face. After seeing the story on [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

Again, this raises the question as to why the city’s legal staff even raised the question. There had not been a violation up to that point. The city attorney then apparently made the judgment that continuing the investigation might jeopardize the process. If the city hadn’t committed a violation at that
point and they would be doing more of the same thing to try and find a conclusion, then it seems unlikely that a violation would result. However, the city points to a sentence from the PDC that says “extending the scope could violate state law.” The operative word is “could.” Of course it could, but the city controls the scope. They should be capable of avoiding directions that break the law. And the PDC advice was not direction or approval to stop the investigation. The city attorney made that decision. And the city didn’t tell us, or appar-

ently the PDC, what extension they might have been considering. The city effectively stopped an important investigation because they couldn’t scope an investigation of “the mayor’s behavior in the work place” without breaking the law. Richardson’s decision to end the investigation appears questionable, and her interpretation of the PDC language invites debate. Next week: faulty direction misses key complaint areas.

Often, novice business founders think that having a smart invention is 99 percent of their journey to founding a viable business — “build it and they will come.” The reality is that they need to expose their creativity to the brutality of the marketplace. They need to be smart in listening to feedback and to change course or design where warranted.

[ LETTERS from page 7] KOMO 4 news (June 9), it showed the young woman was seated in the back of the police cruiser, and yes her face, on the left, was scraped. But there was no black and blue eye, like in the picture in the Federal Way Mirror. Everything recorded on the 911 operator’s phone was not the whole story, at least from this perspective, since she was being stopped for an infraction, and that is why the officer followed her into the parking lot, right? But in the Federal Way Mirror, and on KOMO 4 News, these
two officers were over-aggressive and brutally beating up on her, at least according to her story and the story of her “eye witness,” her friend. So when is the news media going to stop demonizing the police departments, and stop listening to those who break the law and then yell “police brutality,” and the press jumps right on it? It’s getting to the point that these officers of the law are not allowed to do their jobs. I wouldn’t trade one Federal Way police officer for any lawbreaker who yells “police brutality.” The times I have interacted
with these men and women have always been pleasant. Since our neighborhood has been hit with break-ins, and these men and women have been there ASAP. So thank you, Federal Way law enforcement. You deserve a gold star, not a “black eye.”

for office, he cannot possibly be guilty of intimidation? That’s off limits? The investigator, at her own admission, chose not to interview a witness in close proximity of Mayor Skip Priest’s office who actually heard some of what was happening in that office. That’s outrageous and what’s more, that was not an investigation. It leads me to think this was an inside job. How dare the investigator, without any evidence, intimate that somehow Councilmember Kelly Maloney or Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell leaked the information of the investigation to The Mirror.

Mayor yelled at me Hey, Councilmember Kelly Maloney, don’t you know this is politics? And yes, Mayor Skip Priest is getting dirty. It’s called mudslinging. I saw his temper firsthand. I went down to City Hall to talk to him about the initiative process and the 90 days versus 180 days limit, which our city attorney did not understand. He yelled at me - will have to say he apologized. But that did not cut it with me. Also, a friend
of mine was telling me about being in a bookstore right behind Skip - he got upset and was rude to the clerk because she asked for ID. Watch your back.

Starting June 15, “The Art of Bamboo” and “The Art of Ink” will feature Japanese baskets from the Fitzgerald Collection and Japanese ink paintings by the Sumi Painting Group.

said. “Because, remember, from the very first moment of this season, everyone saw me limping along with an injury. He told me afterward that he was surprised to see me shoot so well.” Sumpter would end up having the second fastest time for the main competition this week, behind only Kent resident Kelly Barchand. Barchand, an expert long-distance rifle shooter, expressed some of his concerns about the competition. “Walking up to the line against Joe Serafini, I’m not exactly a pistol guy,” he said in an in-show snippet. “I’ve seen a couple people
do this, I know how this challenge works. I need to be quick, I need to be accurate.” Serafini himself was surprised at the ruthless efficiency Barchand showed in this competition. “I picked Kelly because I thought he was going to be an easy match, and he just smoked it,” Serafini said after their round. Unfortunately, the two competitors facing elimination this week were two of Sumpter’s Season 4 co-competitors, Chee Kwan and Gabby Franco. The duo faced off with a Schofield .45, and had to shoot six rows of targets of varying sizes. The difficulty in the
challenge comes in that any miss on a certain row resets the whole row. In the end, Franco won. For Sumpter, it was difficult to see his two friends from Season 4 in the elimination challenge. “It was like…I was the dad watching two of my family members going up against each other, with the intent of eliminating each other,” he said. “Not on a deeply emotional level, but on a friendship level. I wanted them to both do well, I wanted them to go deep in the competition.” “Top Shot All-Stars” airs at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on the History Channel HD (10 p.m. non-HD).

State-champion TJ leads the way with impressive lineup By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
F — Brandon Madsen, TJ The junior striker was the leading scorer for the Class 4A state champion Raiders. Madsen finished the season with 20 goals and five assists and scored at least one goal in all six of Jefferson’s postseason games, including the gamewinner during a 1-0 quarterfinal victory over Inglemoor. Madsen also had a hat trick against Kentwood and finished with seven goals during a threegame stretch in April. F — Odasson Pelogi, FW The senior had an impressive season for the SPSL South champions, finishing with 12
goals and 11 assists. Pelogi scored in nine different games and had both of Federal Way’s goals during a 3-2 win at the West Central District Tournament. F — Edwin Ortiz, FW The senior led the Eagles with 17 goals during the season and helped Federal Way to a 16-2-0 record during the season. The Eagles lost to Snohomish in the opening round of the state tournament. Ortiz had a hat trick during a 4-0 win over Rogers on April 3. Ortiz also had two goals in a loss to Jefferson in the SPSL Championship. F — Kelvin Horne, Beamer The first-team, All-SPSL South selection led the Titans in goals this season with seven. Horne also added four assists. He tallied two goals during Beamer’s 4-0 win over Rogers on April 25. MF — Isidro Prado-Huerta,
Jefferson The senior had an amazing season for the state champions. The midfielder was named the SPSL North Division Player of the Year by the league’s coaches after finishing with 14 goals and 16 assists for the Raiders. Prado-Huerta chose to not play for the Seattle Sounders FC Academy this season to concentrate on his grades and play with his TJ teammates, something that paid off with the 4A state title. He had five multi-goal games and five multi-assist games this season, including a seven-point game against Kentlake on April 27 when he had two goals and three assists. Prado-Huerta will play soccer in the fall at Highline Community College. MF — Luis Alvaro Osornio, Jefferson The senior teamed with [ more soccer page 14 ]
The dream of becoming a professional baseball player became a reality for Elliot Morris Friday. Just before lunchtime, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced they had selected the Federal Way High School graduate in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Draft. Morris is a 6-foot4, 210-pound right handed power pitcher who recently finished his sophomore season at Pierce College in Lakewood. “I’m so happy to be picked. It’s the perfect team,” Morris said in a telephone interview, minutes after learning the Angels drafted him. “It’s awesome.” Morris was the third product from Washington selected during the threeday 2013 draft. Kentwood senior catcher Reese Elliot Morris McGuire was taken 14th overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Gonzaga junior left-hander Marco Gonzales was taken 19th by the St. Louis Cardinals and Camas High School grad Taylor Williams was picked by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fourth round after pitching at Kent State. According to BaseballAmerica.com’s predraft rankings, Morris was the No. 5 prospect from Washington and the No. 227th in the nation. Morris said he was watching the live broadcast of the draft at home in Federal Way Friday, when he heard the Angels announce his name. “I ran to my mom and we hugged. She was watching, too,” Morris said. “My mom started crying. I was just super-excited. You’re just watching, watching and waiting. It’s so great.” The fact that Morris is even playing baseball was something that was in question after he graduated from Federal Way in 2010. Morris missed his freshman season at Pierce College after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2011. He tore [ more morris page 16 ]
FWNLL Cardinals win tourney title By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The Federal Way National Cardinals won the 12-under District 10 Tournament of Champions Tuesday in Enumclaw with a 6-0 win over Soundview LL. courtesy photo
The Cardinals became the first Federal Way National Little League baseball team to win the District 10 Majors Tournament of Champions since 1989 Tuesday with a 6-0 victory over the Soundview LL Elite in the 12-and-under title game in Enumclaw. “This is a special 12-year-old class of player that had the opportunity to play in three of the past four Tournament of Champions tournaments,” said head coach John Sugg. “They’ve had
a great run through their youth baseball experiences, and they will be players that will continue to work hard and compete playing at a higher level.” The shutout of Soundview completed a perfect 26-0 season for the Cardinals, who also beat the champions of Kent Little League and Auburn during the Tournament of Champions. In the title game Tuesday, the Cardinals got an epic game from Tommy Davis. Davis struck out 17 of the 18 possible outs and allowed only one hit during the 6-0 shutout. “It was one of the best pitch-
ing performances that you will ever see at this level,” Sugg said. “He had all his pitches working and had the batters guessing the whole game.” Davis also hit a three-run home run in the third inning, knocking in Connor Ellingson and Zak Gregg to give the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. Federal Way added two more runs in the fourth on RBI singles from Gregg and Nate Clow. The Cardinals finalized the scoring in the sixth on another RBI from Clow. Federal Way’s run started with [ more cardinals page 14 ]

He finished with five goals during the postseason for TJ, including a goal and assist in the state title win over Union. Osornio will join Prado-Huerta at Highline Community College. MF — Alex Lewis, Federal Way The senior was the Player of the Year in the SPSL South Division after another impressive season for the Eagles. Lewis finished with an amazing 17 assists during Federal Way’s 18 games and also contributed eight goals. Lewis had four multi-assist games, including four assists during a win over Bethel. After Federal Way was eliminated from the state soccer tournament this spring, Lewis played singles at the Class 4A State Boys Tennis Tournament the following week. Lewis was also a firstteam, All-SPSL South selection last year after scoring eight goals and dishing out nine assists. MF — Matthew Cruz, Jefferson The senior was a key cog during the Raiders’ postseason run. Cruz was able to control possession of the ball on the wing for TJ and also finished the season with six goals and seven assists.

Briefs: Henderson will fight T.J. Grant Aug. 31 Since joining the UFC, Henderson is a perfect 7-0 and 19-2 overall, including four victories in 155-pound title fights. Henderson took over the UFC 155-pound championship in February 2012 with a win over former champ Frankie Edgar in Japan. Since then, he beat Edgar in a rematch in August, won a unanimous decision over Nate Diaz in December 2012 in Seattle and beat Gilbert Melendez in San Jose in April. Henderson’s last loss came back in December 2011 to Anthony Pettis in

Decatur High School graduate Benson Henderson knows when and where he will defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight belt. It was confirmed last week that Henderson will take on Canada’s T.J. Grant in the main event at UFC 164 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The pay-per-view fight will take place Aug. 31.
the final bout in the smaller World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) organization. Grant was a middle-of-the-road 170-pounder after posting a 3-3 mark in the UFC. But since dropping to 155 pounds, he’s posted an impressive 5-0 mark, with wins over Gray Maynard, Matt Wiman, Evan Dunham, Carlo Prater and Shane Roller.

ted to Lewis-Clark State, a powerhouse NAIA baseball program in Idaho, but will most likely sign with the Angels. Pierce finished second in the NWAACC Tournament, losing to Everett Community College in the championship. It was the first time Pierce College has had a player drafted, Athletic Director Duncan Stevenson said. “It’s very humbling at this point. We’re just extremely excited for Elliot and the future potential he has as a professional athlete,” Stevenson said. “It’s a great day at Pierce College and for Raider Athletics.” During his senior season
at Federal Way, Morris was the ace of the Eagles’ pitching staff. Morris, along with Nick Tanielu, who led the Pac-12 in hitting this season playing at Washington State (.409), helped Federal Way into the state semifinals. Morris finished 7-2 on the mound for the Eagles. He also hit .333 with a team-best 20 RBIs and five home runs at the plate. He also scored 13 runs, had two doubles and stole three bases. “There is no ego with this kid at all,” Stevenson said. “He was an incredible student-athlete and a remarkable representative for us and the college and the local community.”

fourth inning and cut the lead to 4-3 on an RBI single by Spencer Sugg in the fifth. Down to their last three outs, the Cardinals got a single from Clow, which was followed by a clutch two-out double to tie the score at 4-4. The winning run was scored when Jordan Jones stole home. In the bottom of the sixth, Clow relieved starter Gavin Knapp and shut the Angels down in order. Knapp threw the first five innings, striking out six. “It was a great season for the team,” Sugg said.
“Our goals never included winning all our games. Our goals were just to work hard and get better each week and play our best baseball at the end of the season.” The Cardinals players include Tommy Davis, Gavin Knapp, Zak Gregg, Joey Mullarky, Jordan Jones, Nic Orr, Connor Ellingson, Adam Taylor, Cole Bakker, Spencer Sugg, Nate Clow, TJ Rincon and Elijah Bakam. They are managed by Sugg, who is assisted by Steve Pearson, Jim Knapp, Jim Ellingson and Bryan Bakker.

But things really started clicking this spring for Morris, who anchored Piece’s pitching staff. Morris finished the season with just a 4-3 record, but had a 1.76 earned-run average and led the NWAACC in strikeouts with 95 in just 66 1/3 innings. Morris throws in the low-90s and has touched 96 mph and projects, most likely, as a reliever in pro baseball. He is commita 12-1 win over the Kent Patriots Saturday.

[ PALMER from page 6] such impactful ways when the boys hauled home clunky junkyard spare parts inside their families’ garages. No doubt they encouraged their passions. I see my role in training our children as a symbiotic relationship. I am satisfied that we’ve always maintained a household dictated by “each one teach one.” Thus, it’s not uncommon for the youngest member of our family to pull out the white board inside the living room on any given evening and teach the rest of us something that we’ve not mastered. At the onset, the
older boys frowned on the concept, but I see now how all of us have benefited from such an arrangement. It is highly tempting to bask into the glow of Father’s Day, but for this year, it’s a shared effort. I’m quite aware that I couldn’t be an effective dad had my sons not assisted me in that monumental role. So when they say happy Father’s Day, it is only appropriate for me to say happy Son’s Day.
