‘Death on the Supermarket Shelf’ tackles 1982 Tylenol murders

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

“You could be killed at any time.”

That was the mentality of a shocked nation after seven people died from taking potassium cyanidelaced Tylenol on Sept. 29, 1982, in Chicago.

Dubbed the “Chicago Tylenol Murders,” it was with this hysteria that Alan Bryce, the managing artistic director of Federal Way’s CenterStage Theatre, was confronted when he moved back to the United States from Great Britain that same year.

“To say it was like 9/11 is maybe to inflate it a litle bit, but it was a huge national story for weeks,” Bryce said. “And the difference… between this

City Council opposes Tacoma methanol plant

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council unanimously passed a resolution opposing a proposed methanol plant in Tacoma on Thursday night.

Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell called an emergency council meeting to hear from citizens, many of whom are against Northwest Innovation Works’ methanol plant.

About 180 attended the council meeting.

“The potential environmental health impacts this may have on our community could be severe,” Ferrell told the crowd. “While from a technical standpoint it is early in the process, we believe it is important for you to know that we are listening to your viewpoints… We share your anxieties and fears on the yetto-be determined impact on this proposed plan.”

Each member of the City Council expressed concerns related to the project. Earlier in the week, Councilwomen Susan Honda and Kelly Maloney testified at a public meeting in Tacoma on the

methanol plant.

Northwest Innovation Works has proposed to develop and operate the natural gas-to-methanol production plant on 125 acres leased from the Port of Tacoma. The project is still in its feasibility study phase.

But numerous citizens, both in Tacoma and in Federal Way, worry about the plant’s potential environmental impact and claim the transparency from the city of Tacoma and the developer

has been lacking. “[The] reckless decision by our port commissioners have compromised our human, our economic and our environmental securities for Tacoma, for our sister cities, Federal Way, Fife and Puyallup,” said Donna Waterss, who gave public testimony at the meeting. “We are at a crossroads in time where protecting our resources should be first and foremost with city politicians.” [ more PLANT, page 3 ]

[ GENNINGS from page 1] Commander Brett Hatfield said several detectives are actively investigating this case.

“Investigators believe this was not a random act primarily as the suspect(s) is/are believed to have been in the car with Wesley at the time of the murder,” Hatfield added in an email.

More than 2,000 people have shared a gofundme.com account that was created to help Gennings’ family with funeral expenses. At the time of this writing, more than 150 people have donated $8,690 toward the $9,000 goal.

Gennings was the only child of Lonnie Gennings Strothers and Reno Robinson, said gofundme.com account organizer Angela Marie Sterling, Wesley’s cousin.

“We ask that you keep our family in your

thoughts and prayers in our time of need, and we appreciate all the love an support that has been given to our family,” Sterling said, adding that Gennings was a “great kid with an infectious smile that lit up rooms everywhere he went.”

Dreaming of playing in the NFL wasn’t Gennings’ only aspiration, Sterling said. He wanted to take care of his mother and go to college as well.

“Tragically, this dream that he had for himself will not be filled,” she said. “We are all devastated with the passing of Wesley Gennings.”

And while Gennings’ death is generating reactions across Washington state, it’s hit home the hardest.

As a Decatur High School sophomore, Gennings’ death shook the Federal Way Public Schools community, many of whom

attended a candlelight vigil Sunday evening.

District officials released a statement Sunday stating the school district was “deeply saddened by the loss of one of our very own student-scholars” and that they extend their sympathies to Gennings’ family, friends and everyone impacted by his death.

“I had the opportunity to spend time with Wesley’s mom on Sunday at their home, and she shared with me that Wesley was the ‘apple of her eye’ and her love and pride in Wesley was apparent,” said Federal Way Public Schools Superintendent Tammy Campbell, adding that Decatur Principal David Brower said Gennings was a positive leader in the classroom and on the football field.

“Wesley was well-known, well-liked, loved and involved in his school community and beyond,” Brower said. “His smile always radiated kindness and optimism. He was a motivated student with a gift for introspection and kindness.”

Gennings attended Olympic View and Silver Lake elementary schools, Saghalie Middle School and Decatur High School, where those who knew him said he challenged himself academically.

Brianna Ward, Gennings’ academic advisor as part of his involvement with Decatur’s AP Academy, said Gennings “really flourished this year” academically and was determined to be successful in the classroom.

The Federal Way native maintained good grades in advanced placement world history, a college-level course, as well as pre-calculus, third-year Spanish and chemistry, all while participating in high school sports.

Gennings played football for two years at Decatur after playing for three years at Saghalie. He had to sit out most of his freshman year due to injury, but he was determined to get back on the field. He returned his sophomore year, telling others he was going to make it big.

“Wes was a great kid,” Decatur head football coach Levi Suiaunoa said. “He was always willing to help. He was kind of like the team psychologist; he was always doling out advice.

He was a really smart player and had come a long way in learning the game.

“It’s affected me a bit. As a parent, you just start loving your kids a little bit more.”

Gennings was a defensive leader for Decatur’s junior varsity football team this past season, playing well enough to earn time on the varsity squad as well. Suiaunoa said he was in line to replace the team’s graduating leading tackler at linebacker next season.

“His goal was to play football in college and eventually have a chance at the NFL,” said Decatur’s Athletic Director Korey Sites. “He also joined the wrestling team this year, wrestling on Decatur’s formidable junior varsity team.”

On Monday, the football team held a barbecue at the practice field where players were

able to reminisce about Gennings. Suiaunoa said his main concerns for now are helping the players and students cope with the loss and helping Gennings’ mother any way they can.

“It’s kind of like, ‘Why Wes?’” Suiaunoa said. “The young man did everything right.

He made some mistakes, but that’s a part of life. He always worked through stuff. The last thing I talked with him about was his grades.

Some kids in that situation don’t have a plan or they don’t execute it. If Wes had a plan, he was going to do it… We’re going to miss him quite a bit.”

Jeremiah Palaita, a 15-year-old freshman at Decatur High School, said he attended football summer camp with Gennings.

“He helped me a lot when I was in need, being a freshman on the team and everything,” Jeremiah said, adding that Gennings’ death has impacted Decatur tremendously.

“He’s a brother of ours, you know? A brother, a friend, a student, a teammate… it’s a loss of a family member, you know?”

Ashleigh Buckley, also a 15-year-old freshman, said Gennings was a good friend.

“I was in the middle of class and I started crying and he saw me and I was really sensitive at the time,” she recalled. “He took me out of the classroom and gave me a hug.”

Ashleigh said she was going through a lot at the time and didn’t have very many friends, but his simple words of, “Hey, I’m here for you,” made all the difference.

“Once he got older, he probably could have done a lot for not just us, but the Federal Way community,” she said. “‘Yeah, I’m gonna change the world one step at a time with my little pinky finger.’ I thought that was really cheesy at the time, but I guess maybe not.”

The school district provided grief counselors for students, as well as a crisis team that will be on site at Decatur High School and Saghalie Middle School to help students and staff deal with their loss.

Campbell said when events like this occur, it forces school leaders to reflect upon practices of knowing each student “so that we can be a support in their lives.”

“As a result, I have initiated conversations with key community leaders to discuss how we can find better ways to ensure the safety of our student-scholars,” Campbell said. “We will use this event as an opportunity to learn how we can continually provide the necessary supports our student-scholars need as they navigate the complicated path of high school.”

State trooper struck during traffic stop FROM STAFF REPORTS

A Washington State Patrol trooper was struck and injured on Wednesday in Federal Way while on a traffic stop on northbound Interstate 5 at 272nd Street.

Trooper Greg Ulrich was contacting a driver of

[ PLANT from page 1 ]

A self-described “recovering lawyer,” Janna Stewart has lived in Federal Way for four months and worries about the property values of homes near the plant. More important to her, however, has been the public process.

“The company and city of Tacoma have attempted to do what a gentleman called last night a ‘divide and conquer’ kind of an approach, which is to limit these EIS (environmental impact statement) projects individually rather than looking at them holistically,” Stewart said, adding that she has professional experience handling environmental issues.

Federal Way’s Community Development Director Michael Morales agreed that the city of Tacoma has left many Federal Way officials and local residents questioning key elements of the project.

“We want to see a comprehensive and holistic view of the project and its environmental impact, and we want to make sure that the review and the analysis does not just follow arbitrary lines for notice and public participation and comment,” Morales said.

“Environmental plumes do not recognize city limits.”

Ulrich, a 25-year-veteran of the state patrol, sustained injuries to his leg and back and was transported to

Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was conscious and alert during the entire episode.

“It will use the heat of the reaction to generate the methanol,” he said, adding that he is a chemical engineer who has reviewed the process flow sheet and is “convinced” it can be done safely.

Longtime Federal Way resident Jim Stiles encouraged the community to look at the facts and not be swayed by emotion, and he highlighted the potential positive environmental effects of the plant.

“I remember the aroma

of Tacoma, I remember the rendering plant, I remember the paper mill, the ASARCO plant, the ASARCO smelter.

I remember the joy in my heart the day that tower came down,” Stiles said. “And what a horrible thing that was. But remember this is not a smelting plant, this is not a rendering plant that we’re talking about; this is not a paper mill.

This is something that, what they’re trying to, whether you agree with it or not, they’re trying to substitute in China the production of this material from methane from natural gas from coal.”

20,” he said.

Paulsen said he believes the methanol plant will provide a number of environmental advantages that will be revealed. He encouraged the city to speak with him or with the president of Northwest Innovation Works.

Mark Spaur, also a Federal Way resident of 25 years, said the rigorous public process “hasn’t been hidden.”

“It’s been available, it’s been published in the papers, so the resolution saying this has been done in an underhanded way, I just don’t agree with,” Spaur said. “I think it’s been very transparent. This

Mayor right to oppose Tacoma methanol plant When Tacoma’s ASARCO smelter was operating, the pollution went all the way up to Seattle, out to Maple Valley, and down to Olympia.

Candidates for Federal Way mayor 2017 We are in the middle of the 2016 elections for the major offices in our state and nation, but the truly active are already planning for the city elections in 2017.

Last week we looked at Mayor Jim Ferrell and his unannounced, but certain, run for re-election. No one is admitting that they are interested in running against him, but some are just being coy. Ferrell won’t be easy to beat, and if someone wants to run against him they will have to start early in gathering endorsements, raising money and minimizing mistakes.

Ferrell is most likely to run unopposed unless he continues to leave the door open with questionable moves. He has accomplished several of his goals but has also unnecessarily alienated several groups and individuals that could add up to an unpleasant surprise in the future.

The ideal candidate against Ferrell would be a female Republican who holds or has held prior political office or is a well-known business person. And we have at least three that people are speculating about.

Linda Kochmar is one of the most wellknown figures in town. She is a Republican state representative in her second term as a member of the legislature. She served on the City Council for several years and as the last mayor in the Council-Manager form of government. Prior to retirement she was a manager with Lakehaven Utility District. She is up for re-election to her legislative seat this year and won’t discuss whether she is interested in running for mayor. Re-election is her priority at the moment, as she does have an opponent.

But she maintains a close watch on city issues

and has been helpful in bringing home money to help with city projects including the Performing Arts and Events Center. But she has questioned several decisions in city hall, and if she wins re-election in 2016 her seat wouldn’t be up again until 2018. She could run for mayor in 2017 without having to give up her seat.

Kelly Maloney is in her third year on the city council. Her background is marketing. She had a small business and then worked for Orion Industries. She recently took a job as executive director of Aerospace Future Alliance and does some lobbying in Olympia.

The mayor’s salary would be a step down from her current job. Olympia is a very difficult place to work and learning how to get things done is not easy. If the Democrats retain the Governor’s office, the House and recapture the Senate she could find it even more of a challenge. City hall may look like fun after a couple years in Olympia.

Maloney would have to give up her seat on the council to run for mayor, as both are on the same election cycle in 2017. She saw Ferrell’s temper firsthand in a well-publicized exchange last year. She might find running against him interesting. But staying on the council has merit, as she could still protect her options should she get the Olympia bug and want to run for the legislature in 2018.

Susan Honda was just re-elected to the city council for a second term and ran unopposed.

Her council position won’t be up again until 2020. She could run for mayor from a safe seat.

Honda leaned toward being a Democrat when Bob Roegner

have discovered a hybrid species of human beings. They look like people, but they are of superior demeanor and intellect. There is magic in the force of their presence. They are gifted with a courtesy that cannot be taught, that only resides in the souls of the enlightened.

They live “outside of time and underneath thought.” They ask only that you be exactly who you are with no excuses, just gracious acceptance.

One such being is Federal Way City Councilman Martin Moore. He lives on the corner of kindness and strength. Just pushing 32 years of age, he has become the positive push our community needs. It’s no secret that I volunteered in his campaign for city council. I also worked with him to help elect and reelect former state Rep. Roger Freeman. He’s a hard worker and a tough campaigner.

In a recent meeting, we talked about the future of Federal Way. “I think Federal Way will become a destination place, a place where families will want to bring their kids,” he said. “ I see more businesses interested because we’re centrally located. I see people riding their bikes. I see people enjoying recreational life in Federal Way. This is an up-and-coming city where jobs will be created through medical companies and research. That’s my vision.”

According to Councilman Moore, the best is yet to come.

Changing topics rapidly: I visited Dr. Bryan Truong at Virginia Mason Clinic in Federal Way this week. I have to say, I love this guy. I was so sick last fall and now I’m healed. So, feeling grateful and always looking for a laugh, I told his assistant that I put my underwear on backwards that day. I felt like I was living in a parallel universe with the Kardashians. I was doing the Pampers “cowboy walk” when she looked at me, a little stunned. My daughters, Molly and Cailin, have warned me for years about telling stories to people who don’t know me. Apparently I can appear to be “the crazy lady.”

So, should you encounter me at The Commons Mall or Weight Watchers (Oprah invited me back) or Fred Meyer or anywhere in Federal Way and I happen to tell you an inappropriate underwear story, please know that I’m harmless and my intentions are good. In truth, I think I’m so funny I can hardly contain myself. But frequently I find I’m the only one laughing. Perhaps, if we meet, you can force a polite laugh. In life, I think it’s truly all I need.

Tatianna at Virginia Mason Clinic, I think you are wonderful and absolutely professional. After all, what is one to do when a patient shows up thinking she’s the reincarnation of Joan Rivers?

In fact, the Geoduck fishery in the water west of us was rejected by China – for these same poisons, arsenic and lead.

Now we are at risk again.

The biggest methanol plant in the world is proposed in Tacoma, only a few air miles away. A plant for China. That benefits the Chinese. Not us.

All this risk for a handful of jobs and lots of money for BP and some rich folks who will never live nearby this risky venture.

It seems amazing, really, that any Tacoma/Port of-

ficials would sign off on a proposal that uses so much water, power, and puts more than a million gallons of waste into the Puget Sound every day!

I am so proud of our Federal Way council and mayor for standing up and fighting this. This proposal for the methanol plant is wrong on so many levels.

Still, I believe, it needs each one of us to write our own letter, to add to the scope of the comments, to build on our city’s fight, to kill this proposal “until it is dead,” to quote a Normandy Park leader.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Weed, Steel Lake and Sonny & Cher Q

: Mr. Federal Way, I had to giggle after I read your comment on shopping locally for marijuana — which you can’t do in Federal Way even though it’s legal. I turned a few pages in the Mirror and there it was: a big, half-page, full-color ad for the Stash Box recreational marijuana store in Auburn. Highlighted in large type was the blurb, “Only 10 minutes from Federal Way!” I chuckled at that and wondered how much cannabis revenue Federal Way is losing out to Auburn, Midway and Tacoma. Wouldn’t that make an interesting article?

A: Mr. Federal Way is sure that our moral, upstanding city leaders thought and prayed long on the issue of the demon weed before opting to not allow its sale within city limits. They probably clasped their hands together in a bar somewhere and spoke in tongues while engaging the moral, upstanding and pot-free patrons around them who gulped down 80-proof shots before their drive home, sipped beers to see how much it took before the OxyContin got really fun, stepped out to have some cigarettes, made a mental note to grab some Sudafed the next time they picked up their kids’ Adderall, decided that combining them with energy drinks would fix them right up and absentmindedly wondered if those incense-stinking “smoke shops” still sell all the wacky, legal party favors they did years ago (spoiler: they do).

Everyone, Mr. Federal Way has noticed, is in a strange social place with Mary Jane right now. You can get it just about anywhere (emphasis on “just about”), but no one is really sure how they’re supposed to feel about people actually using it. You can tell your boss, your mom and your congresscritter that you’re hungover this morning because you drank too

much last night and fought a nun and everyone laughs, says, “Yeah, I’ve been there,” and then gets back to what they were doing. But if you tell them you smoked some marijuana last night, watched Adult Swim re-runs, then went to bed early so you’d be wide awake and productive this morning you’ll be fired, disowned and accused of treason.

No one actually cares, of course. They don’t really give a word-they-wouldnever-ever-say about it.

But they feel like they’re expected to care; like if they don’t look like they’re really, really caring about it then people will assume that they too enjoy the wacky tobaccy, which is why you have to give Auburn your weed sales taxes. Because our moral, upstanding leaders need people to think they’re moral, upstanding leaders – even if it means taking made-up moral, upstanding positions on things they couldn’t actually give less of a pearl-clutching expletive about.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I lived in and grew up in Federal Way from 1960 on, so let’s see what you actually know about this city.

Can you tell us the history of Steel Lake (man-made or naturally occurring)?

And when did our lake become a lake?

A: Mr. Federal Way has a hard time believing that you “grew up” in the ’60s and yet remember anything about them. Either you growing up around smelly hippies is a lie or you remembering the obscure origin story of Mr. Federal Way’s favorite fishing hole is a lie. Frankly, anyone truly coming of age in the decade that made Sonny & Cher such megastars should have been too busy having a hard time purchasing their next nickel-bag of weed in this area – the more things change, the more they stay the same, right?

Speaking of memory loss, Mr. Federal Way can’t for the life of him recall when, [ more MR. FW, page 9 ]

Citizens Police Academy starts March 8 FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy will begin Tuesday, March 8.

The goal of the Citizens Police Academy is to create a better understanding and communication between citizens and police through education. The intent is not to produce civilians trained in law enforcement, but to help community members better understand the city’s police department. This is an opportunity for the citizens of Federal Way to know more about the men and women who are protecting their community and why they make the decisions they do.

As participants go through the academy, they gain a better understanding of the department’s decision-making processes,

how and why policies are created, as well as what an officer faces everyday. More importantly, citizens can also determine for themselves how effective the department is in serving the community.

Citizens Police Academy is a two-way educational process. While citizens are learning all about what police officers do on a daily basis, officers also are hearing how citizens feel about issues. The department gains an understanding of the concerns of residents and the perceptions they have of the police department.

Academy participants will meet every Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. for eight weeks from March 8 to April 26. Classroom sessions cover topics such as Patrol Operations, SWAT, K9 Unit, Criminal Investigations, Crime Prevention and much more.

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of President Lyndon Johnson to recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts.

In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.

she ran for the city council four years ago, but she has now become a Republican.

Ferrell was a Republican who became a Democrat to run for mayor. Could Honda be considering the same thing? That would be a fun debate. Honda is a nurse and has been among the most outspoken in support of Health Center funding and the day shelter for the homeless. She was also a critic of the PAEC funding scheme – to some degree that puts her on different pages than Ferrell and would establish different debate positions.

Behind the scenes Ferrell’s people are watching all three, but they appear more focused on Honda at the moment. Honda lost her leadership position in the new councilcommittee structure, even though she is third in seniority. Some city hall watchers wonder if Ferrell was quietly involved in that decision. By treating her as an opponent, could they inadvertently make her one? Honda has also been thought of as a

Any one of these women could run for mayor in 2017, the state legislature in 2018, or re-election to their current office. Or they could all be out of office within the next four years. It all depends on what happens to relationships at city hall, whether Kochmar is re-elected this fall, and if state Sen. Mark Miloscia vacates his seat by winning the state auditor’s job.

There is still a year until decisions have to be made and emerging political issues always play a big part. The hot issue right now is the proposed methanol plant in Tacoma. And the most visible public officials opposing the plant? Mayor Ferrell, council members Maloney and Honda, and state Rep. Kochmar.

pet of the week Buster is a 5-year-old

male Alaskan Malamute and Rottweiler mix (ID #A487226). Although about 60 lbs. now, Buster is on the thin side and will likely put on a lot more weight. This sweet guy is good on a leash and loves going for walks. He knows how to sit, lie down and speak on command. He simply adores having his chest and back scratched, and he loves being brushed! Buster does not like to share his food and can be protective of it.

Because of this he would do best in a home without kids and would need to meet any other dogs in your home before being adopted. Buster can be noisy when he wants attention and when he hears people, but he’s generally very quiet when he’s with his humans.

Because of this, he would probably be best suited for a home rather than

Beamer headed to state with big win over Bears

BY TERRENCE HILL

T

thill@fedwaymirror.com

odd Beamer’s girls basketball team continued to look every part a state title contender with their huge 67-21 win over Olympia on Saturday in the West Central District tournament.

The two teams met at Auburn Mountainview High School in a winner-to-state game.

Jenna Randich knocked down a 3-pointer just over a minute into the game to give the Bears a 3-0 lead. It was all Titans after that.

The next 27 points belonged to Beamer. They led 26-3 at the end of the first quarter and opened the second with a free throw.

Over their past three games, the Titans have made a habit of dominating their opponents early in the game with their agitating defense. They have outscored Curtis, South Kitsap and Olympia 71-5 in the first quarter during the postseason.

“We’re starting to click at the right time,” Beamer head coach Corey Alexander said. “These girls made a commitment to each other that we’re going to pick it up on defense, and that’s how

we win games. If we can play defense like this day-in and day-out, I’ll take it.”

Averie Stock put an end to the scoreless drought for Olympia with just over 6:30 to play in the second quarter. The second quarter would go on to be the best quarter of the night for the Bears, and they were still outscored 19-15.

Nia Alexander once again led the Titans in scoring with 21 points. She was efficient, shooting from all areas of the court and finishing with a field goal percentage over 50 percent.

Bria Rice, who usually assumes the role of a facilitator more than a scorer, also flashed her ability to shoot with a couple of 3-pointers.

She finished with 13 points and was the Titans secondleading scorer.

While Beamer’s defense was the highlight of the night, they were also able to showcase their depth.

Every member of the team played and every member of the team took a shot. All but two players scored in the game.

After leading 45-18 at the half, Beamer would hold the Bears to three points in the third quarter and none in the fourth. There was a

The Titans forced over 20 turnovers once again.

Makenna Woodfolk and Darion Brown both added eight points for the Titans.

Makenzie Bond finished with seven.

“This was one of our better games where we moved the ball a lot,” Corey Alexander said. “Everybody touched the ball. They didn’t come down and

We passed up some good shots for better shots.”

The win means the Titans (20-2) are headed to the state playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. They still have the opportunity to win their second consecutive district title as well.

They played Gig Harbor (15-6), who defeated Curtis in a winner-to-state game, after the Mirror’s publishing deadline on Thursday.

The winner of their game will play for the district

championship against the winner of Bellarmine and Kentlake.

Raiders eliminated from postseason with loss to Yelm

BY TERRENCE HILL

A

thill@fedwaymirror.com

fter making the district tournament for the third time in four years, the Thomas Jefferson boys basketball team hoped to make the regional round of the state tournament for the first time since 2013.

They fell short of that goal as they were beaten by Yelm 66-60 in a loser-out game on Friday night.

“I’m a little disappointed that it ended this quickly because I think we’re far more talented than we showed,” Jefferson head coach Kyle Templeton said.

Yelm’s Christian Davis stole the show with a 35-point night. It was an allaround effort for the senior as he worked from the paint and beyond the arc.

“This year has been the best defense, statistically, since I started at T.J.,” Templeton said. “Tonight [Yelm] seemed to make everything, and that kid Davis was just pretty special tonight. I don’t now if anyone scored more than 25 against us in a game this season, but that’s what happens in playoff basketball.”

After a slow first quarter where he only scored 4 points, Davis caught fire for the rest of the game. In the second quarter, he made all three of his 3-point attempts en route to an 11-point quarter.

Jefferson’s Darius Anderson tried to keep pace with Davis, scoring 13 in the first half. The Raiders still trailed 34-27 at halftime.

The second half started exactly the way the Raiders wanted as they scored the first six points of the third quarter, pushing their run to 9-0 and cutting the Yelm lead to one.

Nine of the next 16 points scored by both teams belonged to Davis as he kept the Tornados’ lead intact.

Akashpreet Singh and Alex Sommerfeld hit backto-back threes late in the quarter as the Raiders made another push. Tarence Taylor closed out the third quarter with a three-point play when he was fouled driving in for a layup.

For Jefferson, it was the best third quarter they’d had in a while. They struggled in their past five games at the opening of the second half.

Yelm led 45-44 after three quarters.

A couple of Davis 3-pointers to open the fourth quarter pushed the lead back to seven for the Tornados.

The team was 7 of 11 from the floor in the fourth, making three of their five 3-point attempts.

The Raiders tried to answer as best they could, but the 21-point quarter for Yelm proved too much to overcome.

Despite creating a lot of second-chance opportunities in the fourth quarter, the Raiders still only shot 21 percent from the floor as they were 4 of 19. They were just 2 of 12 from 3-point range.

It was a disappointing end to an up and down season for Jefferson. They lost four of their final six games.

Still, the team and its 12 seniors finished second in league standings, their highest finish in over 30 years.

“This senior class has won more games in a four-year span than any class in school history,” Templeton said. “It’s been an unbelievable class and an unbelievable group of kids. It’s hard, with all of those kids that you’ve seen every day for four years and then it’s just over. That’s the tough part of being a high school coach.

“I’m very proud of them.

I love them very much; they’ve accomplished a lot.”

The Raiders finish the season with an 11-13 record.

indy and Corey Lewis, owners of the Anytime Fitness in Lakewood for six years, opened a second location on Jan. 18 in Federal Way at 1614 SW Dash Point Rd. “We’re a boutique gym, open 24 hours,” Mindy Lewis said. “We get the nicest equipment that Precor makes.”

Anytime Fitness, considered to be one of the world’s fastest-growing health club franchises, now has more than 3,000 gyms worldwide. Members are able to access their local gym any time of day with their own personal key fob.

“You’re not bumping into hundreds of people,” Lewis said. “It’s a familyfriendly facility. We have panic buttons on the wall that go directly to the Federal Way police, with a full security system in place.”

With plenty of treadmills, cardio machines and free weights and the ability to access the facility at all hours of the day, Lewis said members never complain about waiting

for equipment.

Cardio machines each come with a touchscreen that includes hundreds of television channels to choose from. A 500-square-foot studio space is available for members to take classes in a group setting or on their own. Lewis said the Federal Way facility will soon have a kiosk where members can select from a variety of individualized classes. When a member chooses a class, a large television screen will lower down and project the workout session.

“It allows you to take classes 24 hours a day,” Lewis said.

The Federal Way Anytime Fitness evokes a comfortable atmosphere.

As members arrive, to the right inside the entrance is a living space with couches and chairs.

The color palette on the walls varies from yellow to green to orange. The bathrooms include vanity tops.

Lewis said the decor was selected to help members feel welcome and relaxed.

The Rotary Club of Federal Way is proud to support the Federal Way community!

Mindy Lewis, owner of Anytime Fitness in Federal Way, said members will enjoy the hundreds of television channels to choose from while doing cardio. ANDREW FICKES, for the Mirror Fitness since April 2009, said she plans to start frequenting the Federal Way location. She said she loves the atmosphere that Mindy and Corey Lewis have created and the support and encouragement they give to their members.

“The type of staff Mindy and Corey hire creates a ‘welcome home’ gym atmosphere,” Yates said. “It’s not stressful.

You’re not fighting for equipment. It’s like a little piece of heaven.”

Yates joined Anytime Fitness because she wanted to get in shape and lose weight. At the time she joined she was 309 pounds.

“I couldn’t walk up and down the stairs,” she said.

“I couldn’t walk from one end of the hallway to the other without leg cramps.

I was completely out of breath. I was breaking out in sweats. I couldn’t do a push-up or a sit-up. My sense of confidence and self-worth was gone.”

Yates said Lewis encouraged her and suggested she start training with their trainer Alex Seal.

“In the first 10 months the transformation was unbelievable,” Yates said.

“I went from not being able to do anything to running CrossFit, doing 5Ks and Olympic weight lifting,” Yates said. “As of last December, I took home three national records in power lifting through the United States Powerlifting Association.”

Several years ago Yates, along with her trainer, was named Anytime Fitness’s National Member Success Story. Yates was awarded a lifetime membership to Anytime Fitness and was featured in Woman’s Day magazine.

Yates, who today is an independent fitness trainer, said she owes her success to Mindy and Corey Lewis and Anytime Fitness.

“When I go into Anytime Fitness, I know I’m home in my gym,” she said.

As a grand opening special, Anytime Fitness in Federal Way is offering memberships starting at $29.95 per month with no enrollment fee. Key fobs are also free.

The play relies heavily on information in author Scott Bartz’s novels “Tymurs” and “The Tylenol Mafia: Marketing, Murder and Johnson & Johnson.”

Bartz is a former employee of Johnson & Johnson.

But the play is also based on the real-life account of Michelle Rosen, formerly Reiner.

Rosen, played by Cora Pearlstein, was there the day her mother, Lynn Reiner, played by Melanie Hampton, was killed from taking the Tylenol only six days after giving birth to her sibling.

Titans’ season ends with playoff loss

BY TERRENCE HILL

thill@fedwaymirror.com

odd Beamer’s boys basketball’s oncepromising season came to an end on Friday as the team fell to the Emerald Ridge Jaguars 71-66 in a loser-out game at the West Central District tournament.

“We fought hard to the end, I just wish we’d have

come out with some effort,” Beamer head coach Brent Brilhante said. “Patrick [Kennedy] said before the game that all things happen for a reason, and maybe this just wasn’t our time.”

Sharp shooting by Emerald Ridge in the second quarter put the Titans in a hole that they could not recover from.

After an even first quarter that ended with the game tied at 11, the Jaguars got hot in the second. They hit four 3-pointers in the quarter as they outscored Beamer 22-15.

They ended the quarter with an 8-2 run that featured two 3-pointers by Chase McGuire and a buzzer-beating layup by Daniel Gregory.

The Titans did not go down easy, however. Gio Jackson was consistent in both halves, scoring a gamehigh 23 points. He had 11 in the first half and 12 in the second.

Amari McLemore also helped lead the charge to get the Titans the lead with a stellar 15-point second half.

The third quarter was a bit more even, but the Jaguars were able to hold on to their lead. Raeshon Scales hit a couple of big 3-pointers late in the quarter to keep the Titans’ deficit at eight points.

Beamer’s Deonte Wilkinson left the game in the third quarter after taking an elbow to the face while defending Emerald Ridge’s Matthew Benjamin. He did not return to the game after it was confirmed that his nose was broken.

The Titans cut the lead

down to a one-score game late in the fourth quarter.

With under a minute to go, Jackson brought Beamer within two with a quick score after a turnover by the Jaguars.

Beamer had to intentionally foul to try to get more possessions, but Emerald Ridge’s Andrew Boston and Jason Cassens both came through at the free throw line.

Boston made his two free throws after being fouled following the Jackson basket that cut their lead to two points.

McLemore missed a 3-point attempt and was forced to foul Cassens, who also converted both of his chances from the line.

Jackson missed a 3-pointer the next time down the court, but it was his teammate Patrick Kennedy who came down with the rebound. He too would miss a 3-pointer, but the ball was knocked out of bounds by an Emerald Ridge defender.

McLemore quickly scored after the inbounds pass to bring the score to 68-63.

McGuire made his two free throws to push the score back to 70-63.

Again, McLemore had

It looked like the Titans were going to be able to force the turnover on the inbounds, but instead, Kennedy was called for a technical foul.

Boston missed both, but the Jaguars were able to get the ball to Raeshon Scales.

He was fouled and only made one of his free throws, but by then it was too late for Beamer to mount a comeback.

Kennedy’s final 3-pointer bounced off the rim and the buzzer sounded.

“I’m proud of my kids,” Brilhante said. “We’ve got nine seniors that are graduating. Taking the job over with nine seniors, I knew it was going to be a struggle

to get them to totally buy in to what I wanted to do and how I wanted them to play. They bought into us as coaches and they treated us with utmost respect. Fifteen wins in a high school season is really good.”

“They all passed their classes and they’re taking the student-athlete thing serious. We didn’t have anybody ineligible, and I’m proud of that for our guys. That’s a hard thing for high school athletes. You just see the camaraderie of the Federal Way school district after TJ lost their game and our guys are hugging them and giving them handshakes. They’re good kids and I’m gonna miss them a lot.”

The Titans ended the season losing seven of their last 11 games. They finished with a record of 15-9.

Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and own a home in the U.S. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

For many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some people think that reverse mortgages simply sound “too good to be true.” You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have

to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In 1988, President In fact, reverse Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortmortgages took hold gage bill into law. when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in their homes. They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which

“I now have paid off my credit cards and have money in the bank and still have my home.”

- Margaret Tennant, Summerfield, NC

frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM reverse mortgage lender, found that 96% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

Reverse Mortgage Company

*If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. Borrowers must also occupy home as primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan must be paid off when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or does not comply with the loan terms. Call 1-(800) 661-3756 to learn more.

A HECM Reverse Mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). American Advisors Group (AAG) works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.

Simple ways to not talk about sex

Amy Johnson

A picture is worth a

thousand words.

privacy is important, but it’s not necessary to scare or shame children in order to do so.

• Love is love. Teaching that different types of people love each other reinforces the important part of this scenario: love. Children generally get this concept really quickly and easily.

It’s the grown-ups with all the baggage that have the problems.

• You are loved and valued. Teens who believe this are more likely to make decisions regarding their bodies and behavior that reflect that they are lovable and valuable. They are more likely to be safer in their behavior and stick to their own values.

I am here when you need someone to listen. When you have preschoolers, this may mean listening to 5,000 questions about why the sky is blue. However, establishing yourself as a safe person to go to with curiosity and questions can have big payoffs down the road when those questions are about relationships and sex.

There are lots of ways to talk to your children about love, relationships, respect and communication.

And that’s what healthy

sex is all about.

your child’s wedding night (after they are 45 and have their Ph.D.) to sprinkle magic dust with all the knowledge they’ll ever need to be a well-adjusted, loving life partner to their spouse (also 45 and with a complementary Ph.D.), this article is for you.

Jaime Kenney of Romper.com says that teaching kids to have positive attitudes toward sexuality “is part of a larger life philosophy that believes all people are entitled to happiness and respect.”

Here are some of her brilliant ideas about how to talk to your kids about healthy sexuality – without talking about sex: • Your body belongs to you. Teach your children that no one gets to touch their body without permission. Practice this in non-sexual situations, like tickling or grabbing, so they believe it when the stakes are higher.

• Use correct anatomical names for body parts. This teaches that “none of our body parts are anything to be secretive or ashamed about.” Teaching about

SEX IN THE SUBURBS

ecently, I was at UW Tacoma for a presentation by my colleagues Marshall Miller and Lindsay Fram of “Sex Discussed Here!” It was funny and profound, and I was excited to find another friend from Federal Way there.

After frank discussion about body parts and orgasms to this mostly collegeaged audience, Fram said, “We encourage and support children when they are learning to walk, we teach them how to get dressed, how to drive…We teach them all kinds of things.

But when it comes to this really important part of our lives, parents are like–” and here she paused to put a hand on her lovely hip– “’Good luck!’”

While it’s safe to say most parents want their children to have healthy and fulfilling sex lives as grown-ups, it’s also safe to say many parents don’t want to have to talk to their kids about how to do that.

So if you’re a parent who secretly wishes there was a fairy who would appear on

MSC seeks name for housing project FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Multi-Service Center is seeking community input on a name for their $13 million veteran’s housing project, which will benefit homeless veterans and their families. Name suggestions

www.federalwaymirror.com include those that reflect the help, hope, and change this project will bring to the community. The name should both represent our community and recognize the sacrifices and dedica-

tion of the service men and women that will soon call this building home. Suggestions will be vetted by a staff committee and final selection will be done by a committee of veterans and/

or veteran representatives.

Located on Pacific Highway, the project is expected to be completed by August 2016.

The roughly $13 million housing facility is being

developed in partnership with Shelter Resources Incorporated.

Submissions are due at www.mschelps.org/getinvolved/vhp/ by March 4.
