Council approves funding for economic development director position BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council unanimously approved the funding for an economic development

director position during its meeting Tuesday and agreed that economic development continues to be of paramount importance to the city. According to Mayor Jim Ferrell’s Chief of Staff Brian Wilson, the designation of director means a qualified candidate would make between $112-148,000

ho knew our city is a mecca for garden enthusiasts, with a Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, PowellsWood Garden, a garden at the Federal Way Senior Center and others at schools throughout the city? As I’ve gotten out into the community over the past four months since I became editor, I’ve discovered a treasure trove of places like this, and things that make Federal Way unique. There’s the Federal Way Community Center that I recently toured and discovered it had the largest public recreational pool complex in the entire state. And top-notch schools, including Federal Way Public Academy, where students’ scores are through the roof. But I’ve also come across a host of issues the city faces. Take traffic cameras. How useful are they for reducing collisions at some of the city’s key intersections? And City Hall. Should the city move it to a more centralized location where people may have better access to their city leaders? How should the city re-brand itself to make Federal Way more attractive to potential businesses and residents who want to move here? What is our identity? Is the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center the game changer that will spur economic development in Federal Way? These are just some of the questions we face as the city moves ahead. It’s time to start talking, Federal Way. This week, the Mirror is launching a new monthly feature — the Federal Way Forum. We hope this feature will engage residents on different issues that are important to the community. The forum will offer different viewpoints on particular issues and offer residents the opportunity to respond, thus becoming part of the conversation. We invite you to fill out the survey included in the forum. The survey is available for you to fill out in print and mail it back to the Mirror, or you may complete it online at www.federalwaymirror.com. We will share your responses with city leaders for their consideration as they weigh in on the issues. Please also consider forming your own discussion group and chat over coffee, or have a conversation with your family at the kitchen table. The topic this week on page 5 will weigh the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center. We invite you to be part of the conversation that will move Federal Way forward and keep our city a special place. Carrie Rodriguez

Agencies should strive to do better job As the current president of the Lakehaven Utility District board of commissioners, I wanted to thank Matthew Jarvis for his recent column grading the local government agencies in this community. As providers of important local services and stewards of significant public resources, we deserve and should expect this scrutiny, both as a simple matter of accountability for the public funds

Change, controversy and more rumors abound What a month of change and controversy. The biggest change was Democratic state Sen. Tracey Eide announcing after 18 years in office she was not going to run for re-election. Insiders speculated she might not run for some time and Republicans were openly recruiting candidates by telling them they didn’t believe she would run. Eide’s skills and clout will be missed. Former Democrat state Rep. Mark Miloscia announced he will run as a Republican for Eide’s position. But the big question is, who will run on the Democratic side? Democratic state Rep. Roger Freeman would be the first choice of the party but he announced he will run for re-election to his seat in the House of Representatives. Freeman acknowledged that he viewed Miloscia as a mentor, which would have made running against him difficult. With control of the state Senate up for grabs an Eide-Miloscia race would have been the top race in the state. Now, Miloscia is the front runner and the Democrats need a credible candidate. Newly-elected Councilmember Martin Moore is thought to have bigger aspirations. But it might be too soon for him. Carol Gregory has run before and would be a good candidate, but she was just elected to the school board. Other names mentioned are Keith Tyler, who ran for the City Council a few years ago, Rick Hoffman, who has also run before, and school administrator Liz Drake. Roger Flygare was planning to join Greg Baruso and run against Rep. Linda Kochmar for the House, but now his plans may have changed.

With control of the Senate hanging in the balance, the Democrats cannot afford to lose this Senate seat, but they will if they can’t find a good candidate and provide them a lot of money. And Republicans are feeling so good about winning control of the Senate that they talk in terms of no longer needing Democrats Rodney Tom or Tim Sheldon in their caucus. Down in Vancouver, there are rumors that Sen. Don Benton, who got a new government job, will step down after filing so the seat will stay Republican. And speaking of rumors, Republican Steve McNey has moved to Federal Way where he has managed several successful campaigns. Could he be interested in a House seat? Or a Council seat next year? But the most interesting rumor? Democrat Shari Song who ran against Reagan Dunn for the County Council on the Eastside will move to Federal Way and run against Miloscia for the senate. She has relatives here. Will she actually move, and how will local Democrats react? And how will voters react? The rumors regarding Song may be the reason that Flygare is now eyeing a Senate bid against Miloscia. Will his move block Song? Could either one defeat Miloscia? Stay tuned, it is starting to get interesting. Over at City Hall, there was also some changes. A new finance director was confirmed by the City Council and longtime Public Works and Parks and Recreation Director Cary Roe took a job in Kennewick. Ferrell is likely to split the job in two Bob Roegner

While I only have direct familiarity with Lakehaven, I do believe, based upon my experience as a commissioner and as a member of this community, that each of the four agencies reviewed in the article make every effort to deliver services in a reliable, efficient and responsible manner. As Matt suggests, however, the public is not

always aware of the good work that is being done in local government. This may be because we are too focused on performing the job to recognize the need to communicate about it. Or, in a related sense, it may be that we fail to appreciate that the public wants to hear our story. Whatever the reason is, it is important that we make more of an effort to keep our customers informed about the important work we do. While I believe we are

all doing a good job, I also believe that we can, and should, find ways to do a better job. As Matt points out, the board and staff at Lakehaven take a great amount of pride in the fact that we have some of the lowest water and sewer rates in the state. We recently made a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce about the district. We included details comparing our rates to neighboring water and sewer service providers

and described the ample capacity we have developed in our utility systems to handle future growth. We know that it is important to get this word out. As the grade from Matt suggests, however, the Chamber presentation is only a start and we need to expand the circle of information sharing to better inform our larger customer base. The short of it is that we are taking Matt’s comments to heart at Lakehaven and are evaluating how we might better communicate with our customers. The [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

The Federal Way Forum is the Mirror’s new monthly feature to engage residents in the community and to bridge stakeholders with policymakers. Please fill out the survey below and return it to the Mirror. Responses will be relayed to city leaders.

Benefits of the Performing Arts and Conference Center meant for performance, instead of a church or a school multi-use room (flat floor lunch room with stage). Their audiences will have the opportunity to grow, and enjoy state-of-the-art sound and lighting. Touring performance groups could add Federal Way to their circuit. We’ve already had interest from some. There could be: Lectures, debates, conferences, corporate meetings, hobby shows, choral and dance competitions, talent shows, ballroom dances, receptions, weddings, bridge and chess tournaments, political gatherings, training classes, ethnic celebrations and festivals, science, health and arts fairs, garden shows and exhibits, trade shows, weightlifting and fitness competitions, historical exhibits, travel expos, a variety of fundraisers. Banquets for up to 425! Found anything yet? Does that sound like it’s “only for the elite?” That it will sit empty? Did you know that the nearest large performance hall, Auburn Joann Piquette

hy does Federal Way need a Performing Arts and Conference Center? There are many ways to answer that question, one being that there is nowhere in Federal Way to hold any kind of large event, from class reunions to service clubs’ major dinners and fundraisers. Because Federal Way needs downtown stimulus, this facility will kick-start economic development, energizing the area day and night with activities. The dual business model of housing both performance-based events and conference/business will be extremely attractive locally and regionally. The site, at the former Toys “R” Us store, will be a beacon of interest for the city, with easy access to the Transit Center. What kind of events could be held there? Our local performance groups will finally be able to present their concerts and fundraisers in a facility

Performing Arts Center, turns away requests several times a week? That it often has three events per day scheduled? They would be delighted to refer some to our PACC when it’s built. What has been done so far to show this could be successful? There have been feasibility studies over the years, recently updated. They determined a 700 seat hall with 8,000 square feet of conference space was appropriate. Experts in the field of managing performing art centers have helped develop the pro forma. A Blue Ribbon Panel, consisting of nine people from a variety of backgrounds, has been appointed by the mayor to study the PACC project. They will be presenting their findings to the Council May 8. What about fundraising and community connection? Several presentations on the PACC have been offered during Council and other meetings. The Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts (FWCPA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding

with the city to raise $1 million locally. They helped develop and fund informational brochures, which have been distributed at various meetings, created a website, www. federalwaypacc.org, and presented a “Rally for the Arts” concert, featuring five of the member organizations, plus a Thomas Jefferson choral group. They raised more than $126,000 in one afternoon. More than $660,000 in pledges have been raised. A subcommittee of the FWCPA is researching and writing grants. Other aspects of the funding are being addressed through various sources. The next fundraiser will be “Concert for the PACC,” scheduled for May 31. Details soon. The construction of the PACC will take approximately 18 months. Let’s get started! Here’s to a more vibrant and engaging, pedestrianfriendly downtown, with the PACC at the center of it all.

Joann Piquette is the president of the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts.

City can’t afford to operate the Performing Arts and Conference Center nearby performing arts centers and see that the amount of public funds that have to be spent for the first five or 10 years is significant. The proponents of a PACC in Federal Way appear to be thinking with their hearts and not with their intellect. They believe that a building alone will improve Federal Way and create money in the community. They hope the PACC will help further development of the downtown. A building will do none of this. I can tell you this, if it was a great idea, a private developer would have built it years ago. With commercial real estate, a successful business rents a space

for a while. When the business grows, it rents a bigger space. When the business becomes even more successful, the owners will start looking for a property to buy. The advocates of a Federal Way PACC say, “Build it and they will come.” I would like to believe this, however, the logical part of my brain says this is not the way it will work. I believe that a public/private partnership is the way to proceed with this type of project. Here is how it could work: 1. The city of Federal Way and supporters of the PACC build the building. 2. A private operator, such as a Byron Hiller

the need for the city and our tax dollars to help pay for running the PACC. As a volunteer in numerous groups and charities in Federal Way, I can think of lots of things in Federal Way that need more support. Ask me to support more police. Yes. Ask me to support the homeless. Yes. Ask me to support the food bank (Multi-Service Center). Yes. Ask me to support another building that does not pay for itself. No. I personally love the arts and go to as many productions with my family as time and funds allow. I have seen all types of buildings used for the arts. Old schools in Portland and even an old power plant in Walla Walla. I have read the financials from

COUNTERPOINT

Does it seem strange to you that a commercial real estate broker is against commercial development in Federal Way? I have been a resident of Federal Way since 1972. I am a product of Federal Way Public Schools and graduated from Federal Way High School. I am also a graduate of Highline Community College. I am giving you this information so that you will know that I have deep roots in the community. My business is here and my family is here. Many people have spoken in favor of the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), which I believe would be a great addition to the community if it would just pay for itself. All of the financial data points toward

hotel or restaurant, agrees to run the center at no cost to the city for a five-year contract. What if we can’t find a private operator? That means that this project won’t work and it should not proceed. Please use reason and common sense when considering this project. I believe in the people of Federal Way and think they should have had a say in this from the start. Instead, our city government has pushed and prodded and finagled their way to this point. We have spent a lot of public money and still have the same problem: We can’t afford to operate the PACC.

A stand for mothers and their unborn children By conflating preference with morality, Amy Johnson tries to present as a good option the killing of an innocent unborn child, when in fact doing so harms both the child and the mother. Amy writes that pro-choicers support a woman’s rights to have an abortion, “even if it’s [a choice] we would never make nor want our children to make.” Here, Amy confuses preferences with morality. Suppose I cannot tolerate spicy foods. I can refrain from eating spicy foods, but I have no right to impose my dislike of spicy foods on others. This makes sense because my opinion of spicy food is a preference — it is mine and mine alone, and it is not prescriptive for others. Morals, on the other hand, are prescriptive. It would be ludicrous for me to say, “I support a man’s right to abuse his wife, even though it’s something I would never do, nor want my children to do.” That is absurd, precisely because spousal abuse is not a matter of preference, but a matter of morality. The same is true of abortion. If the slaughter of unborn children is moral, then Amy should have absolutely no qualms about procuring an abortion herself. But obviously she does have concerns about making that choice — she admits she would not do it. This suggests abortion is immoral, in which case Amy should not do it herself, nor should she encourage others to do it. While those praying during the 40 Days of Life campaign certainly adhere to this second view that abortion is dangerous, in no way do they oppose the women seeking the procedure. In fact, they are there to help the women know that they have choices. They do not have to undergo the invasive, dangerous procedure simply because their boyfriends or fathers forced them into the decision, or because they do not have the financial means to care for the child. Those people of faith want the women to know that they are loved, and that the precious gifts they bear in their wombs are not cancers to be eradicated but humans who deserve nurturing and compassion. We stand for the unborn children and for their mothers.

World Vison’s reversal of the reversal to hire homosexuals On March 24, Federal Way’s World Vision announced that after years of prayer it would employ homosexuals engaged in same-sex marriages. Then two days later, they announced a reversal of the reversal after negative feedback from donors threatening to cancel support and sponsorships. I don’t believe that it was necessarily the impact of the donors that encouraged the reversal by way of their pocketbooks and I don’t believe they put much effort into praying. The original decision to allow married gays employment was more lead by the pocketbooks of taxpayers, by way of government matching funds that amount to tens of millions of dollars. The second reversal was likely led by top-named Christian evangelicals, who have had partnerships with World Vision. World Vision has had homosexuals on their payroll in the past and still does today. Christians all over the net were condemning World Vision’s acceptance of homosexuals, calling them hypocrites and calling them sinners. I wonder if those same Christians have problems with World Vision employing divorced, remarried, overweight and heterosexual domestic partners living together. Those are sins in God’s eyes as well. Sin is sin. If a non-profit organization is going to pay people to do a job, or if they are going to accept government grants and receive IRS tax exempt status, they should not be able to discriminate based on ethnicity, age, marital status or sexual orientation. Times are changing like it or not. The first board member has resigned; we should expect more in the coming weeks and maybe the CEO. Someone is ultimately responsible for reading God’s answer to prayer wrong. Hopefully this misguided decision won’t cost our city another vacant office campus.

A comparison of school district ratings by Greatschools.com shows that Federal Way Public Schools rate a four on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being high and Bellevue has a rating of nine.

Companies and organizations that desire synergies of college-trained intellect may find Bellevue more attractive. Attractability is important to creating a positive economic climate. As a community, we have a hill to climb. If we continue on our current path we will not attract the type of jobs or residents that sustain economic growth and create broad based community wealth.

to provide better focus on both needs. Ferrell has already split Patrick Doherty’s job, allowing Doherty to concentrate on planning and hiring another director to concentrate on economic development. Also, Andy Hwang was appointed permanent police chief. He was serving as acting chief after Brian Wilson’s promotion to Chief of Staff. Hwang is well liked in the community and knows the department well. He also reflects the diversity that is part of Federal Way’s culture. There had been some thought in the community that with the recent allegations regarding police abuse, Ferrell might consider bringing in an outsider to ensure a fresh look was taken at the department. He decided to go with a known quantity. At the school district, the board is struggling with how to get along amid rumors that Superintendent Rob Neu may be looking for work elsewhere. And the Aberdeen School District announced it hired former Federal Way High School principal Lisa Griebel. Wonder if we will ever know the real story on that one? Lastly, South King Fire and Rescue released a complaint filed by Chief Al Church against Commissioner Mark Freitas alleging “harassment and hostile work environment.” It turned out to look more like elementary school playground issues than one worth $23,000 of taxpayer money. We hoped they could start to put the bad feelings behind them after the report was released. No such luck. Already a flare-up over an issue from the last budget cycle. Change and controversy. The year is off to a bumpy start.

The shortstop transferred to the Cowgirl program after playing as a freshman at Savannah State University in Georgia. This season for Oklahoma State, Patton has played in 22 games and is hitting .250 with seven runs, one home run and four RBIs. The Cowgirls are 19-14 on the season. Last year, as a freshman, Patton hit .329 with 42 runs and 22 RBIs at Savannah State.

Softball: Beamer looking for return to state Titans return every player but one on a team that finished eighth at state; TJ set to extend playoff streak BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Todd Beamer softball program played at the Class 4A State Tournament for the first time in the program’s history a season ago, finishing with an eighthplace trophy. The future looks even brighter for the Titans. Head coach Brian Hering graduated only one senior from last year’s team. “If we come and play like a team we will go far,” said head coach Brian Hering. “If we play as individuals, we won’t.” Leading the list of returners for the Titans is junior pitcher Madison Rogers. Last year, Rogers was dominant for Beamer both on the mound and at the plate. Rogers won all 23 games for Beamer on the mound. She had an earned-run average of just 2.26 in 204 1/3 innings. Rogers also finished with a school record 301 strikeouts. Opponents hit just .199 against her and she threw a no-hitter with 14 strikeouts during a 9-0 win over Curtis on April 22. At the plate, the first-team, All-South Puget Sound League South Division selection hit .302 with 26 RBIs, seven doubles, three triples and two home runs. Also back for the Titans are infielders Megan Jewett-Chan and Kelsey McDonnell and outfielders Jourdin Hering, Maddy Colson and Analee Scott.

McDonnell hit .340 with 26 runs, 17 RBIs and two doubles last year. McDonnell was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection and had 10 stolen bases. Colson hit .392 with two home runs and also had three triples, two doubles and 13 RBIs while scoring 27 runs. Colson finished with 13 stolen bases. As a freshman, Hering finished with a .271 batting average, but scored 32 runs with 19 RBIs. Hering led the team with 14 stolen bases and had three doubles and five triples. She was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection. Scott was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection after leading Beamer in hitting with an

The Titans opened the 2014 season with an 0-2 record with non-league losses to Woodinville and Kentridge, but have won their last three games in impressive fashion over Issaquah, Emerald Ridge and Federal Way. During Beamer’s 9-1 win over Federal Way Monday, Rogers finished with 15 strikeouts and Scott was 4 for 5 with three runs and four stolen bases.

District adding JV soccer, C-team volleyball Olson will leave Reinstatement of programs will allow numerous high school student/athletes to play; SPSL divisions set BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The four Federal Way high schools will be reinstating junior varsity boys soccer and C-team girls volleyball for the 2014-15 school year. “We are very excited,” said Vince Blauser, the executive director of secondary education for Federal Way Schools. “I’m one that believes that athletics play a significant role in students’ lives.” The momentum started building for adding junior varsity boys soccer this spring after the district received feedback from parents. The four Federal Way high schools got rid of JV boys soccer in the early 2000’s because of budget cutbacks. There is also a rule that allows each school to only keep 22 kids on their varsity team rosters, meaning

Olson is set to take over the program at Auburn Riverside next season. “Definite mixed emotions,” Olson said. “Very sad to leave Decatur, yet very excited for the opportunity at Riverside.” During his 14 seasons as the head of the Gator program, Olson finished with an overall record of 195-145.

Tennis: TJ in search of another unbeaten season BY CASEY OLSON

sports@fedwaymirror.com

The tradition of tennis at Thomas Jefferson High School just keeps rolling along. The Raider girls finished last season with a perfect 10-0 record to claim the program’s secondstraight South Puget Sound League Central Division championship. Head coach Andrew Buchan has built an SPSL dynasty during his 25 years at the helm of both the TJ girls and boys and this season shouldn’t be any different. The Raiders return five players who saw significant varsity time last season, including a pair of state-tournament veterans in senior

Cindy Park and sophomore Crystal Lee. “No team in the SPSL has the combination of state veterans and depth that TJ has,” Buchan said. “Thus, the Raiders should be the favorites once again to win league.” Park is shooting for her third appearance at the state tournament and is set to slot into the No. 1 singles position during the regular season. But Park will, most likely, team with Lee when the postseason rolls around. Lee and Park played doubles together last season and finished 1-2 at the state tournament. “They could compete for a state title this year,” Buchan said. Also back for Jefferson

district and U.S. Department of Education entered into an agreement after an allegation was filed that Federal Way wasn’t offering equal sports opportunities for girls. That complaint essentially led to the district adding girls-only wrestling and bowling to its roster of sporting opportunities. Now, Beamer, Jefferson, Decatur and Federal Way offer 12 sports throughout the year for girls. In contrast, 10 sports are offered for boys only. Before the 2012-13 school year, the Federal Way school district started offering girls-only bowling and wrestling, which helped close Federal Way’s gap of students participating in athletics. During the 2010-11 school year, Federal Way’s school population was made up of 51.4 percent boys and 48.6 percent girls. In contrast, the percentage of students participating in athletics was 40.6 female and 59.4 percent male at the four Federal Way high schools. Title IX states that the gender percentages of the overall student population should match the percentage of students participating in athletics, which means the Federal Way school district is out of compliance with Title IX.

New SPSL divisions set for 2014-15 school year The principals officially voted to realign the South Puget Sound League for the start of the 2014-15 sports season at their recent meeting, meaning all four Federal Way high schools will be in the same division for the first time since 2006. The vote by the principals came after the SPSL athletic directors voted in favor of realigning the two Class 4A divisions, with Federal Way, Beamer and Decatur joining Thomas Jefferson in the SPSL North. The new 10-team Class 4A North Division is set to include the four Federal Way schools, along with the four Kent high schools (Kentridge, Kentwood, Kentlake and Kent-Meridian), Mount Rainier and Tahoma. Both Auburn and Auburn Riverside, current members of the North Division, have opted to move down to Class 3A in the fall. Federal Way officials announced their in-

Oh and Hernandez-Tagoe will occupy one doubles’ team and Qualls will be playing with freshman Makaylie Moore. Other strong newcomers will be seniors Bethany Stellick, junior Erica Lee, sophomore Kayla Stellick and freshman Estella Kim. It looks like Jefferson’s main competition in the SPSL Central Division will be the Auburn Trojans. Auburn returns three-time state tournament veteran Lauren Thornquist. “Lauren has been the best player in the SPSL for the past two seasons and should win the SPSL

tentions to have all four schools in the same division in October when Decatur declared it would “opt up” to the 4A classification prior to the 2014-15 school year. Currently, Decatur competes in the SPSL’s 3A Division, while Jefferson plays in the 4A SPSL North Division. Federal Way and Beamer compete in the 4A SPSL South. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) finalized its classification figures Tuesday for the upcoming 2014-16 two-year enrollment cycle and Beamer (1,315 students) and Jefferson (1,281) both fell into the 4A class, which ranges from 1,252 to 2,099 students. Federal Way (1,139), along with Decatur (1,032), will have to officially “opt up” to 4A during the next two years. With each reclassification cycle, the WIAA strives for 17 percent (roughly 64 schools) in each of the state’s six classifications (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B and 1B). Having all four schools in the same division of the SPSL has been a long-standing battle between Federal Way and the rest of the league. Every other school district in the SPSL has always been grouped together in the same division. Since 2006, the four Federal Way schools have been shuffled around the league. Beamer was the first to move when, after a year-and-a-half of discussions, the school was shipped to the SPSL South in 2006. In 2010, Federal Way High School joined Beamer in the SPSL South, while Jefferson remained in the SPSL North Division. That is also when Decatur dropped to the SPSL 3A because of lower enrollment numbers. At the time, officials believed dropping into the 3A classification would have a positive effect for Decatur in sports. A portion of the school’s teams struggled during the last couple years as a 4A school, as well as the last two years in 3A, especially on the girls’ side. Officials are hoping that rekindling the rivalries with the other Federal Way schools will be a boon for Decatur. Having all four Federal Way schools in one division of the SPSL will create more of a sense of community, but also generate more money from ticket sales at the games because fans aren’t traveling as far to watch, Blauser said. It will also cut down immensely the money schools spend on travel expenses.

singles title for the third consecutive year,” Buchan said. “Auburn will be very competitive this year.” It looks like it’s going to be a rebuilding year for the Todd Beamer Titans and head coach Pat Nam. The Titans finished in second place in the SPSL Central last year with an 8-2 record. Their only two losses came to TJ. But Beamer lost its top-nine players from a season ago. The Federal Way Eagles are looking to improve on last year’s 0-10 season, but also return a fairly inexperienced lineup. Head coach Josh Agapalza lost

four solid players from a season ago in Lauren Lang, Mina park, Allie Bentler and Jessica Bone. The Decatur Gators should be improved in the SPSL 3A Division. Head coach John Cassens’ team started the league season with a 3-2 win over Lakes. The Gators won all three doubles’ matches, led by the No. 1 team of Maddy Bergstrom and Rebekah Kim. Decatur’s roster also includes Anna Jo, Jessica Garcia, Dayoung Chung, Hyerin Song, Camille Sessoms and Maria De Miguel.

Decatur will be returning its three leading scorers, including sophomores Deonte Smith (10.0 points) and Palofino Jatta (7.6) and junior Malik Wade (6.7). Decatur will be moving up to the Class 4A South Puget Sound League North Division next fall. The Gators have played the last four years as a Class 3A school. But Olson and Auburn Riverside will be doing the opposite in the fall. Auburn Riverside will be moving from the 4A SPSL North into the SPSL 3A. The Ravens finished 11-10 last season and were 8-8 in the SPSL North.

Council approves re-adding 4 staff BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

he Federal Way City Council unanimously approved the readdition of four positions in the Community Development Department during its meeting Tuesday, with the positions of development specialist, associate planner, building inspector/plans examiner and code compliance offer set to come back online in the near future. Patrick Doherty, community development director, explained the reasoning for these re-additions and also touched on the funding sources for these four positions. “Over the past year, permit application volumes and/or values have in fact risen substantially, with 2013 ending with approximately $1 million in permit revenue above the level budgeted,” Doherty said. This excess revenue will be one funding source, Doherty noted, but also shows the sharp increase in demand for the services the four positions will fulfill. According to statistics Doherty compiled, the 43 commercial building applications in 2013 were worth $18.1 million, compared to only 23 such applications worth $6.2 million in 2012. Permit applications for multi-family buildings were also up

significantly in 2013, with 71 applications submitted for projects worth $85.2 million. In 2012 there were only five applications with projects valued at $88,018. Doherty continued with the statistics, showing that last year the city issued 3,271 permits and collected $2.1 million in fees. In 2012, the city issued 3,115 permits, with $1.5 million in fees coming in to the city’s coffers. Similar upticks in code complaints are driving the re-addition of that position, Doherty noted. Finally, as far as the associate planner position is concerned, Doherty said Federal Way lags behind neighboring cities with the number of planning staff per 1,000 residents, with surrounding cities having a number of .12 planning staff per 1,000, compared to .04 per 1,000 in Federal Way. According to the documents Doherty compiled for his presentation, the developmental specialist position would cost the city $63,586 annually, including all benefits. There’s a small start-up cost of $2,500 for the position, essentially for equipment and materials. The associate planner position would earn $77,485 (all benefits included) and would also have a start-up cost of $2,500, while the building inspector/plans examiner would have an annu-

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO al cost of $79,240 (benefits included). The start-up cost for the inspector position is more considerable ($22,500) because that position would require a city vehicle. The code compliance office would also have that same start-up cost because of the need for a vehicle, and would have an annual cost of $73,757 (benefits included). Doherty noted the tab for the code compliance officer could be picked up by Federal Way’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. “We can use our CDBG money to help with that,” he said. “In census tracts where 51 percent or more

of residents are low-income households … they can charge one (full-time employee’s) worth of a CDBG staff person. That will be a real great assistance to us and just make a big difference overall, so not only will people feel like they’re having their calls responded to in a timely manner, they’ll see things getting improved without having to complain.” Doherty noted the code compliance officer costs should be covered by the CDBG funds. “The present forecast … is for continued robust permit application activity and large projects of higher valuation and greater complexity,” he

said. “There’s a lot on the horizon and we expect that the higher permit volumes should continue this year, and not just the volumes, but the valuations.” Councilmember Bob Celski thanked Doherty for the presentation, saying he thought Doherty did a commendable job of “not getting ahead of ourselves.” “I’m certain our citizens will be happy accelerating the process and reducing backlogs and complaints,” he said. “A self look is always a good thing. I also really appreciate the tenderness with which you’re doing this in looking at the budget.” “Looking with that eye of caution.”

Human services manager, interim finance director moving on from city BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell announced during Tuesday’s meeting that Human Services manager Jay Bennett and interim Finance director Bob Noland are moving on from Federal Way. Bennett, who’s been with the city since 2012, is heading to Zanesville, Ohio, while Noland, who has been

working interim positions for the past decade or so, will head home to Pasco, Wash. to begin his retirement. “Thank you so much for all your efforts,” Ferrell said to Bennett. “I think our only concern is continuing those programs in the manner in which you’ve shepherded them.” Bennett explained his reasons for taking a position

across the country, saying family was a big motivating factor. “It’s a town of about 28,000 residents, of which several are my brother, sister, family and life-long friends, and one 8-year-old who carries my name, my grandson,” he said. “The city has come at me a couple of times over the past couple of years, and this year they were able put a package to-

gether and, as the Mayor of Zanesville said, ‘I have your grandson.’ I get to go home and be with family and do good work as their public works and community development director.” Ferrell also thanked Noland, who he said has “shepherded” the city’s finances since previous director Tho Krause left somewhat unexpectedly in October of last year.

Noland said it’s time to get back to Pasco. “After living in a van down by the river for the last six months, it will be enjoyable to go back to our home in Pasco. The golf course is beckoning me,” he said to a round of laughter from Council members and those in attendance. Council members thanked Bennett, agreeing that his work was instru-

mental in recent years as the city transitioned to a “direct entitlement” city in regards to federal Community Development Block Grant funds. All also agreed that Noland did an exemplary job getting a good impression of the city’s finances and what needed to be done during the time the city searched for the new finance director, Adé Ariwoola.

Doctors’ Discovery Helps Diabetes

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy. In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com. Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502. Now at select

urgency. “The job of mayor is not just managing the city; it’s leading us towards the future,” Ferrell said. “If we want the Federal Way of the future to match our dreams of a thriving economy, with great quality of life, a place that businesses and families dream of moving to, then we have to build that future.” Federal Way will rise on what Ferrell referred to as the “power of now.” This means recognizing the opportunities facing the city, that the time for action is ripe and turning opportunity into results, he said. “Federal Way will be a city in which the economic recovery takes full root and takes off, we’ll actively recruit new businesses and retain existing businesses, we’ll stimulate an economic renaissance in the downtown that transforms the core of our city, we will devote the same energy to supporting our neighborhoods as we do on supporting business development,” Ferrell noted. For the past three months, he has spearheaded programs to bring city government and the community together. This includes the Neighborhood Connections program that brings City Hall out into the neighborhoods. And while he said the city has had fun engaging the public, they’ve also been energetic in engaging serious policy issues. “There is no issue needing the power of now more than the Performing Arts and Conference Center,” Ferrell said, noting he hopes the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel that he created will “move the PACC to a decision point this summer so that our downtown development can advance, one way or another.” The panel is currently assessing the financial plans for building and operating the PACC. They will report their findings to the Council on May 8.

Ferrell also discussed some new changes for the city, including the Town Square Park that is being built on the former AMC movie theater, or Town Square, site. The city is building the park for approximately $200,000 from its parks improvement funds. “The Town Square Park will send an important signal to private capital that our visions for downtown are starting to materialize,” he said, noting the park will open the weekend of July 4. “This park will provide an answer to the question: where is our downtown?”

STRONG ECONOMY

After weathering the impact of the Great Recession, Federal Way is on the rebound, Ferrell said. Children’s Hospital announced they will be opening a South Sound Clinic in Federal Way — a $15 million investment. The clinic will employ up to 70 employees and generate approximately 26,000 visits per year. The Children’s clinic, together with St. Francis and their physician partners, and new healthcare businesses, such as DaVita, are positioning the city “as a magnet for growth in the healthcare sector and a beacon of highquality medical services” for families, he said. At The Commons, a $27 million redevelopment is “bearing fruit” with the recent opening of Kohl’s department store and another mall anchor, Dick’s Sporting Goods, is being constructed. He noted that permit applications have increased across residential and commercial projects in the past year. The value of 2013 project applications is more than $136 million — a 75 percent increase over 2012, he said. With a strengthening economy, the city is adding the new position of economic development director. The new director will seek new and innovative ways to compete regionally and na-

The city is also making changes in the area of public safety. In addition to a new downtown police substation that will open next month across the street from the Transit Center, the city will also be changing the look of police vehicles to increase the visibility of its police force. “Beginning in June, you’ll begin seeing black and white vehicles replacing the older color, navy blue cars and SUVs,” he said. The new black and white vehicles will be phased in as existing vehicles are replaced, with 12 of the 60 vehicles in place this year. The city will also triple the Federal Way Police Department’s capacity of its hightech license plate readers to locate and recover stolen vehicles. These Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) scan vehicle licenses and search for matches with vehicles that have been reported stolen. An officer manually checking plates can recover three to four stolen autos per year, whereas an officer driving an ALPR-equipped patrol car can average between 50-75 stolen recoveries per year, Ferrell noted. “With the ALPRs, if a stolen vehicle passes our officer on 320th, for instance, they’ll get an almost instantaneous alert that the vehicle is stolen. Boom, on go the lights and siren and that auto thief will be facing hard time,” he said. “I spent two years on the auto theft task force and let me tell you, word of mouth is a big thing with these criminals and word will get out: if you’re an auto thief or you’re driving a stolen vehicle, stay out of Federal Way.” He said 2013 crime statistics shows an overall crime reduction of about 1 percent compared to the previous year. But Ferrell said the city will “never be satisfied” with any statistic. As the city enters its 2015/2016 biennial budget discussions this fall, he will propose to the Council to increase the number of police officer positions by four to six officers. If the Council approves these positions, the new officers will be placed in uniform specialty assignments, such as the Special Investigations Unit and Traffic. “This will enable us to

have a greater impact on auto theft, human trafficking, gang activity and reducing illegal drugs,” Ferrell said. “The increase in traffic unit officers will enable us to respond more quickly to peak hour accidents, as well as neighborhood complaints about speeding vehicles.”

NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM

The city will also strengthen its code enforcement program to protect neighborhoods from decline. “Federal Way’s neighborhoods are the backbone of this community,” he noted. “We must keep foreclosures

and problem properties from dragging down property values and quality of life.” He said calls to the city’s code enforcement hotline have grown fivefold since 2008, from 174 to a projected 1,000 calls this year. The workload of the city’s two code enforcement officers has significantly increased. But the city’s complaintdriven code enforcement system is also a challenge, as it “pits neighbor against neighbor,” Ferrell noted. “That means that a problem property doesn’t get on our radar unless a resident complains,” he said. “This has

led to an incomplete knowledge of where the problem properties and foreclosures are.” The city’s new approach will rely on code enforcement staff to identify distressed properties and work to address them quickly and consistently, he said. The city will also hire an additional code enforcement officer to deal with the increased volume of complaints. He said the three officers will also work to address the current backlog of complaints.

Police were also able to locate the vehicle, at which time the suspect attempted to flee/evade police. The report notes the suspect stopped the vehicle at one point and fled on foot, but police were able to locate the subject with assistance from a K9 unit. Mailbox break-in: At 8:51 a.m. on March 30 in the 1400 block of SW 304th St., a man reported that unknown suspects ripped the door off of his secured mailbox. The report did not indicate whether any mail was stolen, but did report that the estimated damage to the man’s mailbox was approximately $100. Helpful citizens: At 11:24 a.m. on March 30 in the 32000 block of 21st Ave. SW, citizens flagged down a passing officer to assist with a disoriented elderly woman. According to the report, the woman had gotten her wheelchair stuck in some grass and was being assisted by concerned citizens. The report notes the woman is a resident of a nearby adult care facility, and that she said she was trying to

report that a woman assaulted him for unknown reasons in a 7-11 parking lot.

Troubled resident escapes again: At 12:26 a.m. on March 27 in the 2400 block of Starlake Road, a woman at an adult care facility was reported as missing. According to the report, the resident is difficult to control and “frequently sneaks out of her bedroom window while her caregivers are using the bathroom.” The report notes the woman has mental capacity issues, but is “well versed in the public transit system and rides busses while she is missing.” Along with this, the report notes the missing woman “seeks out prostitution activity” when she runs away, and has been known to become violent with police. A supplemental report notes the woman was located and returned to the care facility. Cell phone snatched from woman’s hands at mall: At 6:37 p.m. on March 27 in the 1900 block of S. Commons, a woman reported an unknown suspect stole her cellphone.

The report notes the suspect got into a “gold

four-door sedan, which drove away as she approached.” The report notes one of the mall businesses had surveillance footage of the incident, although it was difficult for police to ascertain the race of the suspect from the footage. Man assaulted by strangers who gave him ride: At 3:43 a.m. on March 26 in the 800 block of S. 312th St., police responded to an assault call. According to the report, police found the victim propped up against some soda machines in a grocery store parking lot, bleeding profusely from the mouth. The report notes the victim had a strong smell of alcohol on him and had difficulty relating what happened to him. Police were able to discover that the man said he had gotten a ride from a number of strangers at a 7-11 parking lot. The strangers took him into an unknown culde-sac and then asked if he was interested in buying crystal meth. When the victim refused, one of the suspects punched the victim in the face a number of times. The victim’s level of confusion was apparent, as he later told police that the suspect kicked him in the face, instead of punching him. The victim was able to describe the vehicle as a “2000 series, black with dark tinted windows.” Man brandishes gun at woman: At 9:06 p.m. on March 29 in the 1200 block of SW Campus Drive, a woman reported that an unknown male brandished a gun at her while driving by. The victim said she was walking along the street when what she described as a “an older model … white SUV that appeared dirty” drove by her and the driver brandished the weapon at her as he drove by. A police search for the vehicle was unsuccessful.

Man changes plea to guilty in fatal DUI crash FROM STAFF REPORTS

A Federal Way man who initially pleaded innocent to vehicular homicide charges in a crash that killed a man last December changed his plea to guilty March 28. Jeffrey Lowell Waterfall, 56, pleaded guilty to one count of vehicular homicide at the Maleng Regional Justice Center (MRJC) in Kent. His sentencing is set for 1 p.m. April 25 before Judge Amini in room 4H at the MRJC. Waterfall was charged with vehicular homicide after he drove his Ford Mustang into a power pole on Dec. 23, 2013 in the 28900 block of Redondo Way South. The crash killed 52-year-old Kurtis D. Nevin, of Tacoma, who was a passenger in Waterfall’s vehicle. Nevin died at the scene. Blood testing showed Waterfall had a blood-alcohol content of .232, according to charging documents. He is in the SCORE jail on a $600,000 bond and has a prior DUI conviction in 1979.

South King Fire investigation costs $23,000 in legal fees FROM STAFF REPORTS

The recent complaint filed by South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) Chief Al Church against SKFR commissioner Mark Freitas cost taxpayers $23,165 in legal fees, according to documents the Mirror obtained. Church filed a complaint against Freitas over a number of things, ranging from Freitas’s suggestion that Church should retire, to actions and behaviors by Freitas

that Church characterized as aggressive and threatening. While the investigator found that Freitas’s statement urging Church to retire was “unlikely to constitute unlawful age discrimination,” he recommended that the board inform the commissioner to refrain from discourteous and disrespectful public statements and behavior to district staff.

Principal leaves district for unknown reasons FROM STAFF REPORTS

Lisa Griebel, who had been the principal at Federal Way High School (FWHS) for the last seven years, quietly left the district recently. According to the Aberdeen Daily World, Griebel was named principal of Miller Junior High School in Aberdeen. Griebel had been on leave from her position at FWHS since August 2013 for undisclosed reasons. The Mirror requested to see correspondence between Griebel and district officials through a public records request. However, many pages of email correspondence were redacted due to attorney-client privilege. Marion Leach, director of employee relations for the district, also referred to a “possible preclaim case” regarding Griebel in the documents. “You are directed, effective immediately, not to discuss this matter, in any manner, with students, their parents or employees of the district while on administrative leave,” wrote Superintendent Rob Neu and Vince Blauser, executive director of Secondary Education for the district, in an Aug. 16, 2013 letter that informed Griebel that she was placed on administrative leave with pay. Blauser said the district hopes Griebel will be successful in her new endeavor.

10 newest schools meet state standards, report notes BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The rebuilt Valhalla Elementary opened its doors in September 2009. KAREN KIEST, Landscape Architects

en of the Federal Way Public Schools newest schools have met or exceeded state standards, according to the first report on the district’s Asset Preservation Program that the board of directors heard during its March 25 meeting. The district adopted the program in 2009 as part of a state effort for districts to

have a good “inventory” of their buildings and infrastructure to continue to be eligible for state funding for school construction, according to Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Sally McLean. “This annual submittal is now required for all districts in the state in order to retain our eligibility for school construction assistance, commonly known as state

match,” McLean said. The first round of building reviews looked at schools and facilities that were completed after 1993 and received that state match funding, McLean noted, meaning the district’s newest schools were reviewed first. Those schools include Rainier View, Green Gables, Meredith Hill, Saghalie, Enterprise, Todd Beamer, Truman, Valhalla, Panther Lake and Lakota.

They were reviewed under five metrics that looked at exterior and interior conditions, the buildings mechanical systems, safety and building code compliance and handicapped access. The scoring metric started out from 90-0 percent, although the state injected a 100 percent rating while the district was busy with the process, McLean noted. According to data McLean presented, the schools reviewed mostly were at or above the state’s “expected” score, which was derived from the state’s expectations for a building condition contingent upon its age. McLean said the next steps will include a review of all the buildings in the district. “We are completing … an internal review of all of our buildings, not just the ones that have been built in the last 20 years that received state funding,” McLean said. “In addition to that, you might recall that you recently authorized, through a board motion, a building conditions assessment via an outside agency. We’ll have our own internal study and a third-party building evaluation, so we’ll have the opportunity to review how our review is doing.” Board member Tony Moore wondered what this program was for, and what issues the district could face if there was something identified in a report, but not immediately rectified. “These are the things that need to be fixed at these schools in order for us to continue to get state matched?” he asked McLean. “What’s required is that we submit the building condition report,” McLean said. “What we want to do internally is develop a robust preventative maintenance system.” McLean said this program is much like the State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s (OSPI) “report card” for schools, where it allows for districts to have an established benchmark to compare themselves to going forward. But she said there is a bit of a stick and carrot routine with the system. “I think as with any public entity, we have an obligation to our taxpayers to wisely invest our tax dollars in these facilities and this is a level of accountability that has been introduced into the K-12 system, and the carrot attached to that level of accountability is state school construction assistance,” she said. more story online… federalwaymirror.com

Q&A with Mr. FW: Fickle festivals in Federal Way and pickle-ball paddles Q

: Why does Federal Way not have a signature summer event? Should this be a part of the city or local arts group? How about making this a part of the Performing Arts and Conference Center’s duties if they want to build it? Parade anyone? A: Federal Way has tried several things over the years to get people into the city during the summer. But none of them have been very successful and numerous have come and gone. Summer events that are no longer running in Federal Way include Festival Days, the World Championship of Sand Sculpting, Subaru Women’s Triathlon at Steel Lake Park and the Han Woo-Ri Korean festival. All three of the massive events, which all received thousands of dollars from the city, have been cancelled in the last six years. The million-dollar question is what type of event would succeed as Federal Way’s signature summer event? Mr. Federal Way is not smart enough to know the answer. Obviously, the things that have been tried in recent memory haven’t worked. But there’s no doubt that Federal Way has the ability to put something together that will be successful. All you have to do is look at the other city’s around South King County and their ultra-successful summer festivals. Auburn has Good Ol’ Days, Kent has Cornucopia Days, Renton has River Days and Des Moines has the Waterland Parade and Festival, just to name a few. Why are those events huge financial boons for their cities, while Federal Way struggles to sustain any type of summer festival? Your guess is as good as Mr. Federal Way’s. But the answer has to start at the top. According to former City Manager Neal Beets in 2008, in general, execution of city-assisted community festivals has been difficult and burdensome because of fragmented leadership and a lack of

consistent, sustained coordination among festival supporters, sponsors and the city. Here’s a wacky idea: if the PACC is going to be constructed in Federal Way, why not make part of its duties to be in charge of organizing some type of signature summer event? That would take away the difficulty with the city’s leadership and lack of consistent coordination, wouldn’t it? Everything would run through the PACC, which has an estimated cost of $31.7 million and will include a 700-seat arts center with a 3,000-squarefoot conference space on a 4-acre site on 20th Avenue South. That would make the massive price tag a lot easier to deal with. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I see that the state Board of Education concluded that being suspended from school negatively impacts a student’s academic success. Seems like a pretty obvious point, right? How would you handle discipline in the schools? A: Great question and Mr. Federal Way will answer to the best of Mr. Federal Way’s ability. Mr. Federal Way thinks a little old school, in terms of discipline in schools. Although Mr. Federal Way doesn’t consider Mr. Federal Way old (born in the 1970s), Mr. Federal Way clearly remembers Mr. Federal Way’s elementary school principal wielding a pickle-ball paddle for disciplining. And Mr. Federal Way’s principal wasn’t afraid to use that paddle on a kid that was misbehaving. That’s just the way it was. And Mr. Federal Way can speak from experience, once that paddle, which featured air holes for better velocity, was pulled out and wielded on Mr. Federal Way’s backside, Mr. Federal Way thought a lot more about doing something wrong at school. After that happened once, there weren’t any more discipline problems at school, Mr. Federal Way knows that as fact. In-school suspension, out-

of-school suspension or expulsion didn’t even have to be discussed after seeing the pickle-ball paddle. If something like that were to happen at an elementary school today, the lawsuits would be flying around like a swarm of bumble bees. According to the Board of Education’s ruling last week, being removed from the educational environment through in-school suspension, out of-school suspension, expulsion, or other discipline practices has been found to negatively impact a student’s academic success. Really? Very insightful. In other news, the board also concluded that the sky is blue. Obviously, there are a lot more layers to the board’s vote to adopt a discipline resolution and it’s not nearly as easy as having principals being able to use a pickle-ball paddle. Mr. Federal Way realizes this and part of the board’s vote details that profiling needs to stop at schools. According to the board, Washington disciplined more than 59,000 students in the 2012-13 school year and students of color, lowincome students and special education students are suspended and expelled at higher rates. “We know that discipline practices affect students’ access to education and, ultimately, their success,” said board chair Dr. Kristina Mayer. “The data on student discipline indicates that certain student groups are being disciplined and excluded from the classroom at higher rates than other groups of students. We are concerned about the potential contribution of this disparity in discipline rates to the opportunity gap.” Q: Mr. Federal Way, who the hell are you anyway? Oh, oh, I almost forgot, none of my business. I think your Collum (Mr. Federal Way is leaving the misspelled question as written) sucks. A: You did ask for it, so here you go — none of your business.

has a proven track record of listening to the people of this community and acting responsibly on their behalf. She is especially interested in providing an environment in which small businesses can thrive, because we all benefit when small business succeeds. “It is a privilege to serve the citizens of the 30th District, and I would be honored to continue to do so in Olympia,” said Kochmar, R-Federal Way, adding “I have always worked hard to provide the best for our community by making fiscally responsible decisions. I am concerned about our families who are struggling to survive in this down economy, about our schools that are facing severe funding issues, transportation, and jobs.” Kochmar said she is a proven leader in the city of Federal Way, where she served as mayor, deputy mayor, chair of all City Council committees, and was elected twice by her colleagues as the chair of

the Suburban Cities Public Issues Committee. As a member of the House, Kochmar serves on the following state committees: Transportation, Technology, Local Government, Business, Insurance and Finance, as well as the Statewide Executive Steering Committee on Human Trafficking. Kochmar noted she can make the tough decisions needed to reduce government regulations, control spending, get the budget deficit under control and help create new jobs.

Freeman to seek re-election FROM STAFF REPORTS

Rep. Roger Freeman announced March 28 that he will seek a second term to the state House of Representatives in the 30th Legislative District. “It has been an honor to serve the people of the 30th District,” said Freeman, D-Federal Way. “It’s been

a fantastic experience to work on behalf of ordinary citizens and get things done on their behalf. When I ran for the Legislature two years ago, I said I wanted to be an advocate for regular people in Olympia and that’s exactly what I’ve tried to do.” Some of Freeman’s legislative accomplishments include securing job creation money to help build the Performing Arts and Conference Center in Federal Way’s downtown business core and important updates to Triangle Park to assist people with disabilities. Supporting first responders has also been a major focus for Freeman. Last session, he passed legislation to ensure firefighters and police officers who are catastrophically injured in the line of duty receive the necessary ongoing medical treatment that they deserve and this session he is working for tough new penalties for drivers who put the public at risk by alluding police.

man was diagnosed with cancer and has undergone aggressive treatment while performing his duties in the House. “No one wants to hear that news, but I have emerged as a stronger and better person because of it. The well wishes and prayers from family, friends, and community members were awe-inspiring. I am well along the road to recovery and I am thankful to God and the people of the 30th District for helping me through this difficult time. I will pay them back 10fold by working hard and standing up for them in the Legislature.” Freeman has worked as an attorney in King County for the last 19 years and is a former Federal Way City Council member. Freeman and his wife Sonya have two children attending Federal Way schools.

Baruso announces bid for 30th District FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way Diversity Commission Chair and Port of Seattle Fire Department Captain Greg Baruso announced March 28 his candidacy for 30th District state representative Position 1, as a Democrat. The seat is currently held by Rep. Linda Kochmar, R-Federal Way. “I come from a long tradition of public service and it’s in that spirit that I have decided to run for state representative. I will speak for citizens who need a voice, serve for the benefit of others, and advocate for those in need,” Baruso said. Among the qualifications that Baruso brings to the job, the most important is his ability to listen. “I believe that as a lawmaker the ability to engage with constituents and truly listen to their feedback and needs is a critical skill,” said the candidate. “My regular interaction with the public as a captain in the fire service, experience on the Diversity Commission, and efforts as a community volunteer have given me the insight that the most important thing a leader can do is listen to the concerns of citizens and act on those concerns with honor and integrity,” he said. Improving schools would be a key focus for Baruso in the Legislature. “As the son of an immigrant and with children of my own, I know that a quality education is the cornerstone to success in this country.”

Decatur’s Dom Cooks advances into semifinals of USA TODAY contest MIRROR STAFF

Decatur High School senior Dominique Cooks is moving on. Cooks advanced into the semifinal round of voting in the 2014 Air National Guard USA TODAY High School Sports Inspiration contest. Cooks was one of 100 finalists for the award, which is awarded from fan votes on the national newspaper’s website. It is now down to the top-35 inspirational athletes in the semifinal round, which runs through Monday. Cooks, 18, was diagnosed with the tumor in the spring of 2012 and his infectious attitude has become a staple throughout the halls during the school year. The former football, basketball and track athlete was appointed as an ASB officer by the Decatur students and named Homecoming King in the fall. Cooks finished with 55,118 votes during the week-long first round of the contest to finish in second place in the Selfless Service bracket. A panel from USA TODAY High School Sports narrowed the submissions down to 100 athletes based on the stories and profiles. From there, the contestants were split into seven regions to compete for votes. Cooks was part of the Selfless Service Region, which has athletes whose last names fall between C and D.

son and seem to be in a very good position to make it 13. Head coach Chad Fahnlander returns a bulk of the lineup from a team that went 13-11 last year. Back are seniors Annalise Campbell, Rocky Hale and Bailey Rundle, along with sophomores Sam Simundson, Kyleigh Carbon and Brittany Leggett. Campbell will play shortstop for the Raiders after a stellar junior season. Campbell was a secondteam, All-SPSL North selection and finished 4 for 4 with four RBIs, three triples and a double during the Raiders’ season-opening 12-2 win over Decatur. She was also 2 for 2 with four RBIs during a 14-0 win over Auburn Monday. Hale returns as the Raiders’ pitcher and Rundle returns as a second-team, All-SPSL North Division selection as a utility player after several multi-hit games. Rundle was 3 for 5 with three RBIs during a win over Kentridge last year. Carbon was also a second-team, All-SPSL North pick a year ago as an

outfielder and she finished 2 for 2 during the win over Decatur on March 18. Leggett, a first baseman, was a second-teamer a season ago. Things are looking up at Federal Way High School. The Eagles won the program’s first SPSL South game on March 25 over the Curtis Vikings. Federal Way also beat Auburn Riverside and opened the season with an impressive 11-9 win over Mercer Island. The Eagles are led by Jaclyn Gillis, who will see a bulk of the innings this season on the mound for Federal Way. Offensively, the Eagles should be led by Jayme Scanson, who finished 3 for 5 with five RBIs with a double, triple and home run during the win over Mercer Island. Gillis finished 3 for 4 with two runs and freshman Payten Hurn also collected three hits, including a double. The Decatur Gators should be improved from a season ago under first-year head coach Sara Steinmetz. Decatur opened the season with a non-league win over Steilacoom.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM April 4, 2014 City of Federal Way 33325 8th Avenue South Federal Way, WA 98003

(253) 835-2401 REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about April 21, 2014, the City of Federal Way will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release FY 2014 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383), as amended, in the amount of $730,000 to implement the following projects identified in the City of Federal Way FY 2014 Action Plan: Single-Family Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation activities - $ 250,000 Commercial Exterior Improvement Program activities - $ 105,000 Commercial Loan Program - $160,000 Business Retention Program - $214,000 The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from the National Environmental Policy Act requirements. In accordance with §58.15, a tiered review process has been structured, whereby some environmental laws and authorities have been reviewed for the target area and other applicable laws and authorities will be complied with, when individual projects are ripe for review. Specifically, the target area has been studied and compliance with the following laws and authorities has been established: Floodplain Management, Coastal Barriers Resource Act, and Coastal Zone Management Act. The City will complete a Statutory Worksheet, in accordance with Sec. 58.35. Copies of the compliance documentation worksheets are available at the address below. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project, and more fully describes the tiered review process cited above, is on file at City of Federal Way City Hall, 33325 8th Avenue S Federal Way, Washington and may be examined or copied weekdays 8a.m. to 5p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the City of Federal Way, Office of the Mayor, 33325 8th Avenue S, Federal Way, WA 98003. All comments received by April 20, 2014, will be considered by the City of Federal Way prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Federal Way certifies to HUD that, Jim Ferrell, in his capacity as City of Federal Way Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Federal Way to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Federal Way’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Federal Way; (b) the City of Federal Way has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be submitted to: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Seattle Field Office, 909 1st Avenue, Suite 200 Seattle, WA 98104-1000. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Applicant: Rod Leland - Facilities Director, Federal Way Public Schools Project Location: 30611 16th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003. APN 082104-9001 Date Application Received: March 10, 2014 Date Determined Complete: April 3, 2014 Date of Notice of Application: April 4, 2014 Comment Due Date: April 21, 2014 Environmental Review: Based upon review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City, it is likely that the City of Federal Way will determine that the project will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment and expects to issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for this project. The optional DNS process in WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be your only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request. Agencies, tribes, and the public are encouraged to review and comment on the proposed project and its probable environmental impacts. Comments must be submitted by the date noted above. Permits/Files Under Review: Use Process III (File #14-101058-UP), Concurrency (File #14-101060CN), and State Environmental Policy Act Threshold Determination (File #14-101059-SE) Existing Environmental Documents & Required Studies: Wellhead Protection Area Map, Environmental Checklist, Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement, Preliminary Technical Information Report and Traffic Impact Analysis. Development Regulations Used for Project Mitigation: Federal Way Revised Code Title 14, ‘Environmental Policy;’ Title 16 ‘Surface Water Management;’ and Title 19 ‘Zoning and Development Code.’ Public Comment & Appeals: Any person may submit written comments regarding the land use application or the environmental impacts of the proposal to the Director of Community and Economic Development by 5:00 p.m. on April 21, 2014. Only persons who submit written comments to the Director (address below) or specifically request a copy of the decision, may appeal the decision. However, any interested party may appeal the environmental threshold determination. Details of appeal procedures for the requested land use decision will be included with the written decision. Issuance of Final Environmental Determination: The final Determination of Nonsignificance may be issued without a second comment period, unless timely comments identify probable significant adverse impacts that were not considered by the Notice of Optional Determination of Nonsignificance. A copy of the Determination of Nonsignificance may be obtained upon request. Availability of File: The official project file, existing environmental documents and required studies are available for public review at the Department of Community and Economic Development Department, 33325 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
