Farmers Market now open Wednesdays

Shannon Ford is finally able to sell her very own wild Alaska salmon in Federal Way. Every summer beginning in June, Ford and a two- to four-person crew catch salmon in Bristol Bay aboard her boat, Paul Revere. Ford sells some salmon to an Alaskan cannery, then brings the rest of the bounty home to the Puget Sound region, where she tours the local farmers market circuit.

Through her business, Two if by Seafoods, Ford sells her salmon at farmers markets in Mercer Island, Renton, Kirkland and Bellevue. On Sept. 7, she will make her debut at the Federal Way Farmers Market’s inaugural Wednesday Night Out, which runs 4 to 8 p.m. at 31600 20th Ave. S. (near the transit center).

Grades six through eight were the district’s rough patch. The district conceded that seventh- and eighth-grade students “saw overall stagnant or slightly lower scores.”

One group that took a step backward was seventh-graders in the areas of reading and math.

In 2009-2010, this group scored 62.5 percent on reading and 55.1 percent on math. For 2010-2011, [ more SCORES, page 13 ]

On July 19, 2010, Marcus Mukai and a young autistic teenager stopped at the Safeway on 320th Street to do some quick shopping.

Mukai was the young man’s DSHS-sponsored caretaker at the time. While they shopped, the teen got increasingly agitated because he was worried the two would miss their usual computer time at the Federal Way 320th Library.

Eventually, according to Mukai and his attorneys, the young man darted out of the store, taking a cart full of unpaid for groceries with him. Because of this, both Mukai and the young man were stopped by in-store loss prevention officers as possible shoplifters.

Mukai now faces a charge of theft in the third degree, which can carry a penalty of up to a year in jail or a $5,000 fine.

Mukai is slated to go to trial in late October.

The city prosecuting attorney’s office declined

to comment on the case of City of Federal Way v.

Marcus Mukai, citing concerns of contaminating any potential juror pool.

“We’re very disappointed, to say the least, that the Federal Way prosecutor has not taken a closer look at this,” said Steven Fogg, one of Mukai’s attorneys. “I don’t have any doubt that any jury that saw these facts would very quickly clear Mr. Mukai.”

Both of Mukai’s attorneys say their client may be the victim of company policies by Phoenix Protective Corporation of Spokane, the employer of the two loss prevention officers.

In depositions of the two Safeway loss prevention officers (LPOs) provided to The Mirror by Mukai’s legal team, a catch-22 is described for the officers within Phoenix. According to the statements of both [ more CHARGE, page 13 ]

Federal Way will host two 9/11 remembrances From staff reports

South King Fire and Rescue will host a ceremony at 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept.

11, at Celebration Park in Federal Way to honor the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Two South King Fire and Rescue firefighters crisscrossed the country this month to retrieve a steel beam from the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The public will be able to view the steel beam at Sunday’s ceremony.

The steel beam will become part of a memorial in Federal Way to honor the nearly 3,000 victims who died in the attacks.

The memorial will be dedicated Sept. 11, 2012, at fire station 64 at South 320th Street and Military Road. Over the next year, the fire district will raise money and collect dona-

tions to fund the memorial.

To contribute to the memorial, mail tax-deductible donations to South King Firefighters Foundation, 31617 1st Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98003.

FW churches unite for 9/11 remembrance A community 9/11 remembrance and prayer event will begin at 6 p.m.

Sunday, Sept. 11, at Sacajawea Middle School, 1101 S. Dash Point Road.

The free event is organized by a group of 15 pastors from churches across Federal Way. Jeff MacLurg, pastor at Our Savior’s Baptist Church, said the event is not a worship service, but rather a call to action for community service.

He hopes the gathering will inspire people to

emulate the heroic choices resulting from challenges created by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“We are asking people to make Federal Way a better place because we’re making choices to serve other people,” said MacLurg, who began planning the event in May. “Because there was such a spiritual response to 9/11, it would be appropriate for churches to take the lead in remembering it.”

The event will feature representatives from dozens of service groups, Federal Way police and the fire district as well as Mayor Skip Priest. South King Fire Chaplain Tim Klerekoper will be the main speaker.

MacLurg expects about 900 people to attend. He encourages the public to come and connect with like-minded service groups.

Call (253) 227-2081.

Argument results in damage at shop CRIME

This week’s…

alert

Police Blotter Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Who’s to blame?: At 2:55 p.m.

Aug. 27 in the 1200 block of South 343rd Street, police were called after a shop owner and a shop representative got into an argument after the rep came in to pick up his truck after having repairs done. Following the argument, the rep was backing his truck out of the shop when he ran over an air tool belonging to the business. The incident caused damage to the air tool and popped two of the rep’s tires, according to the report. The incident caused another argument over who would be responsible for the damages. The rep wanted the shop owner to pay for his tires and the owner wanted the rep to pay for the air tool, according to the report.

• Stolen purse: At 3:20 p.m.

Aug. 24 at Wild Waves Theme Park, a woman called police to tell them that her purse along with five credit cards, checkbook and driver’s license were stolen from her car while it was parked at the park. There was no damage to the car and it was still locked, as the woman had left it, according to the report. Police have no suspects.

• Strongarm robbery: At 3:23 p.m. Aug. 24 in the 1900 block of South 314th Street, a woman reported that she had been the victim of a strongarm robbery attempt, according to the police report. A white vehicle pulled up next the woman, who was the passenger in another vehicle, and a man attempted to take her purse off of her shoulder. The attempt was unsuccessful and the other driver left the area, according to the report.

• Stolen stereo: At 8:28 a.m.

Aug. 28 in the 28000 block of 25th Place South, a woman reported that sometime after midnight, the

passenger window was broken out and her stereo was stolen, according to the police report. Police have no suspects.

• Burglary: At 7:07 p.m. Aug. 28 in the 29000 block of 18th Avenue South, a woman reported that her residence was burglarized at some point during the last two months, according to the police report. The woman was in Korea and $6,000 worth of items, including a television and jewelry, were stolen.

• Burglary: At 8:27 p.m. Aug. 28 in the 500 block of South 323rd Place, a neighbor witnessed two black males banging on the window of an apartment, according to the police. The neighbor then heard noises coming from the apartment like somebody going through drawers, the report said.

The neighbor then witnessed two men leaving the apartment with a full duffel bag. Police found a window open with the screen out, according to the report. There were numerous items stolen, including a computer and iPod.

• Robbery: At 8:51 p.m. Aug. 28 in the 31000 block of 8th Avenue Southwest, police were dispatched to a man being robbed by an unknown Hispanic man. The man’s property was returned to him by two good samaritans, according to the police report. The man was, however, still missing a knife.

Police have no suspects.

• Theft: At 2:26 a.m. Aug. 27 in the 2100 block of SW 334th Place, a woman heard a noise and looked outside and saw an unknown male in her vehicle and the driver’s side window broken, according to police. The woman reported that a GPS system was taken.

• Argument: At 10:49 a.m. Aug. 27 in the 900 block of Southwest Campus Drive, a mother and daughter got into an argument over chores and money, according to the police report. The mother then began pushing the daughter and the daughter pushed her back, the report said. There were no reports of injuries and both agreed to seek family counseling.

Pacific Raceways asking county for help

By ROBERT WHALE Auburn Reporter

J. Dan Fiorito graded and paved a racetrack east of Auburn for a band of cash-poor investors in 1960 in exchange for a share of stock.

If his grandson, Jason Fiorito, is to expand Pacific Raceways, he’ll have to go through the King County Council over the angry and organized opposition of neighbors who say it’ll be too noisy and harm the environment.

Fiorito addressed the Auburn City Council to enlist the City’s support.

“I’m not asking King County to approve this site plan,” he said. “I’m asking it to amend the code in terms of the wetlands and the steep slopes to allow upgrades that are specifically tied to safety improvements on the road course and set forth a development agreement requirement between us and the county executive that would start the environmental review process.

“This is not an attempt to circumvent environmental review,” Fiorito added.

Council members listened but took no action.

Fiorito’s problem is that the operation of the current road course and drag strip don’t support the maintenance of the racing surface, neither do they support the debt service payments the family has been making on the $5 million loan it took out to pull the venue back from the brink of ruin in 2000 to where it can operate at a club racing level on the road course and a professional level on the drag strip.

Fiorito traced the track’s decline to a series of unfortunate lease agreements the then-operator of then-Seattle International Raceway entered into with lessees from the 1970s to the late ‘90s.

“By the end of the ‘90s, either my

family was going to take over operations, or it would go away,” Fiorito said. “Thankfully, I was able to convince my family it was an important community asset.”

The family tore down buildings, replaced bathrooms, began a deferred maintenance program to establish some safety-runout areas around the road course, rebuilt the grandstands, replaced many of the wooden seats with aluminum seats, paved some pit areas and cleaned up the property.

Present features are: • A quarter-mile dragstrip • A shifter-kart track amounting to a smaller version of the road course that caters to drifting cars, Go-Karts and motorcycles • A permitted motocross track, dormant for now • A permitted-and-under-construction, relocated drag strip.

Nearly 700,000 people set foot on the property every year, almost 100,000 of them showing up on just one weekend during the NHRA Nationals. But it is the club activities throughout the week that kick up most of the economic impact. Some of the larger events are on weekends, the track hosting close to 300 event days a year and operational seven days a week, May through August.

Pacific Raceways has worked with King County over recent years to relocate some of the racing surfaces, including the kart course, moving it “as far away from the neighborhood as we could get it, and then lowering it 30 feet into the ground, leaving an earthen berm between the noise generator and the neighborhood. This is the first racing surface to employ that technology, and it’s worked wonderfully,” Fiorito said.

The problem is that road courses and drag strips aren’t big money makers. If Pacific Raceways is to

remain competitive, things will have to change. Looking for a sustainable business model outside of the impossible scenario of hosting a NASCAR event, Fiorito decided to do as other track owners in his situation had done — build an associated industrial park.

By building and renting out industrial and commercial space for businesses tied to the racing industries, he said, he can keep things rolling and make the venue a world-class facility once again.

Fiorito’s plan calls for an industrial park capable of generating 1,000 jobs, with an estimated economic impact on the local economy of about $30 million per year. By surrounding the track with those buildings, he said, he can cut the noise. The plan also calls for replacing a grass field with a regional-size oval, which is the one additional racing surface proposed in the master plan.

His vision is to have five racing surfaces that can be operated on a regional level. In the event the raceway has a professionally-sanctioned road course or drag strip event, it can shut down the other four spectator-driven events and use their parking lots.

A lack of safety runout areas, he said, constrains the present road course. In 1960, there were few trees alongside the racing surface. Because of 30 years of lack of maintenance, trees have grown up right alongside the track, so that if a car leaves the racing surface, it will hit a tree. The solution is to remove trees, and that means getting into sensitive areas and removing vegetation to provide flat runoff areas, so that if a car going 150 mph plus leaves the track, it won’t hit a tree, and safety crews can get there quickly.

Fiorito claims his plan efficiently cuts but does not eliminate noise leaving the property.

Bloody suspect at collision leads Federal Way police to dead body From staff reports

Federal Way police discovered an apparent homicide while responding to an early morning vehicle collision.

At 6:54 a.m. Sept. 2, officers were dispatched to the scene of a minor collision in the 30400 block of 28th Avenue South, according to police.

A 19-year-old male at the scene who was believed to have caused the collision had dried blood on his body and clothing, according to police. The blood was not related to the collision, police said.

Officers drove to the address on the vehicle’s registration to check on the welfare of residents at that address.

Upon arriving at the residence in the 30600 block of Pacific Highway South, police discovered male who had been killed, apparently of multiple stab wounds, according to police.

The victim and suspect have not been identified as of press time. The 19-year-old suspect cooperated with Federal Way detectives and admitted during an interview to stabbing the victim, according to police. The suspect, an acquaintance of the victim, was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of murder. Federal Way police detectives are working the case. More information will be reported when available.

Justice lesson from a baseball

By JUDGE DAVID LARSON Federal Way Municipal Court

Guest

COLUMN

What exactly is justice? Is justice a condition of existence? Or, does it denote some action on our part? Is justice a result? Or, is justice the way we behave and how we treat each other?

It is amazing what we learn from our children.

I experienced an event with my son that provides a lesson for us all about what justice means.

My sons and I went to a number of Mariners games in the past. My oldest son’s main goal in attending games was to snag a foul ball or a home run ball. It was his obsession, and his disappointment was palpable each time he would come up empty. It would have been cheaper to buy him a few dozen baseballs, but it was not about having just any baseball. It was about catching a Mariners baseball at a Mariners game.

We learned that players warming up in the outfield during batting practice tossed balls that did not quite make it over the fence into the stands.

The chance of retrieving a ball hit over the fence was also much greater during batting practice.

We were able to stand at the outfield rail with some other people with the same idea of getting a baseball.

We were there for about 15 minutes when a player from the opposing team tossed a ball up to a 6-year-old boy standing next to my then 12-year-old son. It was obvious that the ball was intended for this younger boy. It glided right toward his glove, but hit off the edge, fell to the ground, and rolled right to my oldest son’s feet.

My son revealed a burst of character that made me swell with pride. He picked up the ball and handed it to the younger boy as its intended recipient. This was an especially good act by my son because the baseball he handed over would have been the very first baseball he would have ever received at a Mariners game.

I wish that were how this story ended, but the lessons we learned that day were not over. I will never know if the opposing player saw what my son did, but it seemed that my son’s deserved reward was on its way when the opposing player tossed the next ball he touched directly to my son. It was obvious this ball was intended for him. The ball was on a perfect trajectory to my son’s open glove when a man in his late 30’s thrust his glove over my son’s and took the ball right out of mid-air.

Some of the readers of this piece probably believe that my son deserved what he got (or what he did not get) because he should have just kept the first baseball. After all, “do unto others before they do unto you” seems to be the ethic of choice for many these days.

However, my son gained more by giving that baseball to the other boy than he ever could have [ more LARSON page 5 ]

Weird news outside of this city Well, here we go again. It’s 6 a.m. and time for another day on the treadmill. It seems to be staying dark later, and somehow that makes this daily agony even less enjoyable.

I read several different papers to try and pass the time more quickly, but I haven’t kept up like I normally do. The pile of unread literature is taller than your typical 5-year-old and seems ready to topple.

I write a lot about what’s going on here in Federal Way, so let’s see what’s going on in other cities. There must be something new and exciting happening out there.

East of the mountains, they celebrate the arrival of migrating birds with the annual Othello Sandhill Crane Festival. This year it has been canceled due to lack of volunteers. Hmm... how will the cranes know they have been canceled?

Won’t they still show up anyway? And with no one to greet them, how will they know where to check in? Or how to find a good restaurant? I wonder if they have a tourist bureau in Kennewick?

Next door in Auburn, one thief was easy to catch. He wheeled a stolen 50-inch television past the police department. I would imagine a television that big being wheeled down Main Street might get someone’s attention.

Also, in Auburn, City Hall found that clear communication with its residents is essential.

The deputy mayor felt compelled to send a letter to the editor of the Auburn Reporter to clarify a community misunderstanding. Some citizens were upset with city plans for “transient oriented development.” She wanted to clarify that it was “transit” oriented development. Glad we got that cleared up. Other cities might have seen

Auburn as a transient destination point.

Criminals in Issaquah make it far to easy for the police. One man reported to court on a charge where the judge sent him to jail. During booking, police found a bag of marijuana. His comment: “That was really stupid of me to go to court with it in my pocket.” Any disagreement? With cooperative criminals like that, Issaquah may be able to lower its police budget.

Not surprisingly, a picture of scantily clad young ladies on the front page of the Whidbey News-Times under the headline “Talk Derby To Me,” catches my eye. Oh... well that wasn’t quite what I expected. It was a story about their ladies roller rink team. Those folks on Whidbey Island have quite the sense of humor. But it is early in the morning and I am easy to fool this time of day. They must be pretty tough up there — that sport is brutal.

And though it isn’t exactly what I learned in political science, or church either, maybe God does have his limits.

One of the candidates for president says all the earthquakes and hurricanes are a message from God to Washington politicians for not listening. And we thought we were the only ones they didn’t listen to. Maybe God isn’t among the 14 percent who have confidence in Congress.

You just can’t make this stuff up, but it’s time to get off the treadmill and get back to interviewing candidates for the fall elections. Besides, it’s looking lighter outside and my knees are beginning to hurt.

Certainly it can be said that leaving an animal in an unattended vehicle for an extended amount of time, in hot weather and with the windows closed, can be dangerous.

Beyond that, the Federal Way Police Department is engaging in hyperbole.

Federal Way police go

on to assert that “consistent temperatures above 70 degrees have led to an increased number of calls related to leaving dogs in vehicles in an unsafe manner.” While indeed there might be an increased number of calls of this nature, the calls are in no way indicative of an increase of cases where an animal is

being confined in an unsafe manner.

In the first place, addressing weather above 70 degrees as hot or dangerous is a fallacy that could only occur in Washington state. This year has been extremely mild, and there have been only a handful of days this summer where the temperature has exceeded

80 degrees.

Based on my own experience, I believe that it is far more likely that the increase in the number of calls is indicative of a lack of knowledge on the part of the caller and an evolving phenomenon that I will describe as the personification of our pets. The bottom line is that a dog confined in a

car should not be the sole basis for a 911 call. In short, there should be a clear indication that the animal is in distress, and reasoned knowledge that continued confinement will harm the animal.

The Federal Way police then tell us that “city code allows Federal Way police officers to “enforce this violation as an infraction” with a first offense costing $100.

FW Community Garden is a delight to visit Over the weekend (Aug. 27-28), I had my first visit to the Federal Way Senior Center Community Garden. What a delight!

With my greatest appreciation, I extend my thanks to Mike Stanley and his crew for the many, many hours of voluntary services rendered on this fantastic show place. Not only is it beautiful, but it helps to feed many elderly and needy people in our community.

Also in need of thanks are all the businesses and anyone else who has donated to this worthwhile project.

Again, thank you one and all. If you have not visited this masterpiece, put it on your to-do list, as it is worth the time and effort.

Federal Way woman meets golf idol Fred Couples From staff reports

Federal Way resident Helen Laier, 91, had her wish granted to meet pro golfer Fred Couples, thanks to Brookdale Senior Living and Jeremy Bloom’s Wish of a Lifetime.

An avid golfer herself, Laier recently returned to the course on her 90th birthday after a series of serious medical conditions including a battle with breast cancer, having two knees replaced, recovering from a broken hip and torn rotator cuff, and undergoing numerous

other surgeries.

Laier stays physically active through her love of golf. She has played several times since her hip recovered and frequently watches professional tournaments on television.

Living in Federal Way for more than 60 years, Laier closely followed the career of her favorite golfer, Fred Couples, a local boy who worked his way to a successful golf career.

“Over the years, I kept thinking well wouldn’t that really be something to meet Fred Couples,” said Laier. “To me it’s an impossible dream. It would

[ LARSON from page 4] gained if he would have kept the baseball.

The baseball would have gathered dust and would have become discolored with age, but his character would remain clean and untarnished if he lived the rest of his life this way.

This story is symbolic of just about every choice we make when we interact with others. The man who took the ball from my son did nothing illegal, but something can be legal and still be wrong. This experience taught me more about justice and injustice that anything I had ever read in law books. Justice and injustice in this situation manifested as a microcosm of life in the stark contrast between how a 12-year-old acted and how an adult acted in a similar situation.

be a miracle. I can’t even imagine it happening.”

On Aug. 25, Laier’s lifelong dream came true. Laier traveled to the Boeing Classic Pro-Am in Snoqualmie to meet Couples. Laier accompanied Couples during a few holes of the course. She was also interviewed by Jay Radzavicz of the Golf Channel.

“Fred Couples is very handsome and charming, much more handsome in person,” said Laier, a resident of Foundation House, a Brookdale Senior Living retirement community in Federal Way.

Self-interest is the lifeblood of a free society, but society decays if self-interest is not tempered with justice. Selfishness and injustice are close cousins. Selfinterest and injustice are incompatible.

Don’t confuse this with the type of “social justice” that defines justice in economic terms. True justice is found in our souls, not in our pocketbooks. This is not liberal or conservative, it’s just true.

Are we going to treat others as we want to be treated? Or, are we only going to just do unto others?

Justice is an action and a result. You create justice by how you treat others and by how you live your daily life. Sadly, the same is true for injustice.

The incoming freshmen across the district do not have to fear being knocked around the halls, stuffed into garbage cans or getting slammed into lockers anymore.

These myths are being put to rest in Federal Way with the institution of Ignite, a mentorship program focused on improving freshman performance and relationships in school.

Although Ignite began in the district many years ago at Federal Way High School, it has been picking up a lot of momentum around the four high schools over the past two to three years.

In Ignite, sophomore, junior, and senior leaders are chosen to be “mentors.”

They are given the responsibility of aiding a group of five freshmen throughout their entire first year of high school. Mentors meet with their freshman “mentees” on a bi-monthly basis and discuss lessons such as effective time management skills, studying strategies, tips on how to avoid social drama, and other obstacles presented freshman year.

“Freshmen worry about what to buy for lunch or what part of the hall to

youth can approach a Metro driver and simply say “I need a safe place.”

The driver will then call a youth service provider, who will meet up with the driver and youth, and get the youth to a place of safety.

King County will be the largest Safe Place partner in Washington state, with the combined efforts of Metro, YouthCare, Friends of Youth and Auburn Youth Resource helping ensure kids on the streets can have a chance to get away from them. King County joins 1,529 communities across the country in providing a Safe Place for youth.

Any youth who find themselves on the streets can also take advantage of a text message service associated with Safe Place. Kids can text the word “SAFE” and also their current location to the short code 69866. In King County, they will receive a reply almost instantly, giving them information on the nearest shelters.

Ignite was introduced). Ignite helped to foster school unity faster that it would have happened at other new schools.”

The initial intention to aid freshmen has not been forgotten. When asked what Ignite meant to him his freshman year, former mentee Carson Wright said, “It was really cool knowing that an upperclassmen besides my brother really cared about me.”

Considering all the positive changes, it seems that Ignite is here to stay.

See something, say something The King County Sheriff ’s Office is reminding residents that if “they see something, say something.”

The reminder came in response to a USA Today article, which highlighted that suspicious package calls across the U.S. are typically benign.

Local law enforcement officials worried that the article might have a chilling effect on people making such calls, and wanted to remind residents that it’s worth the time and trouble to ensure public safety.

“We’d rather respond to a hundred false alarms than miss the one real threat,” King County sheriff Sue Rahr said in a news release.

Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste re-iterated that the cooperation of the public on this issue is the most important factor in helping law enforcement.

“You know best what is normal in your neighborhood, your workplace or your local bus stop,” he said.

High school football season kicks off Talented Federal Way overcomes slow start to blow away GrahamKapowsin, 37-14; Three others drop openers

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The expectations are sky high for the Federal Way Eagles’ football team this season. Head coach John Meagher returns three preseason all-state selections and numerous other starters from a season ago.

But Federal Way didn’t look the part of South Puget Sound League South Division contenders during the early-going Friday night inside Art Crate Stadium. Graham-Kapowsin rolled out to a commanding 14-3 lead just minutes into the opening quarter of both teams’ SPSL South opening game.

It was the same Graham-KapowD.J. May sin team that had dominated the Eagles, 41-17, during the 2010 season opener and last year’s loss seemed to set the tone for Federal Way. The Eagles dropped their first three games of 2010 and failed to make the postseason for the first time since 2005.

D.J. May and the rest of the 2011 Federal Way squad weren’t going to let that same thing happen this year.

The preseason all-state running back and one of the faster players in the SPSL, erupted for two second-quarter touchdowns to get the Eagles right back in the game.

Federal Way eventually cruised to a relatively easy 37-14 win on Graham-Kapowsin’s home field.

The Eagles tallied 34 unanswered

May finished the first half with 100 yards rushing on just eight carries. The senior also scored on a 28-yard interception return early in the second half.

Junior wide receiver Mike Tate also had a big game for the Eagles.

Tate hauled in a 71-yard touchdown catch from first-year quarterback D’Londo Tucker to give Federal Way the lead for good in the second quarter, 17-14. Tate also ran in a two-yarder late in the first half following May’s second TD, to give the Eagles a 30-14 lead heading into the locker room. [ more football page 10 ]

Federal Way took an early 3-0 lead in the game on Koby Craig’s 27-yard field goal. But Graham-Kapowsin answered with two touchdowns passes from quarterback Drew Austin.

The senior connected with Kahil Dawson for 76 yards and Zack Mershon for 28 yards.

Austin completed just 18 of 43 passes for 250 yards and also finished with a pair of interceptions.

The Eagles will open their home schedule Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium against the Puyallup Vikings. Puyallup dominated Spanaway Lake, 56-7, in its opener.

In other action:

at Tahoma 38, Jefferson 31 — The Raiders had their chances Friday night in Maple Valley, but the Bears outscored Jefferson, 24-7, during the second half to snag the SPSL North Division victory.

Tahoma got on the board first on a 4-yard touchdown run from Zach Browne.

The Raiders’ Ian Tougher answered right back with a 2-yard touchdown run of his own. McKay Owsley followed with a 44-yard field goal for TJ to give the Raiders a 9-7 lead.

But Jefferson’s lead didn’t last long. Jason Smith returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards to put Tahoma back on top, 14-9, after one quarter.

Jefferson senior K.W. Williams took over during the second quarter. Williams returned a fumble 70 yards for the touchdown and also converted the 2-point conversion. Williams, in his third year as TJ’s starting quarterback, hit Rhithvik Lagisetti with a 12-yard pass later in the quarter to put the Raiders

up 24-14 at the half.

But the second half belonged to Tahoma. Jefferson’s lone score came on a 14-yard run from Williams in the third quarter. The Raiders host Kentwood Thursday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

Beamer’s Nick Bod opened the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Arjun Weherwatthager in first quarter to put the Titans up 7-0. But Emerald Ridge tallied the next two TDs to snag a 14-7 lead.

Beamer tied the score back up on a 1-yard touchdown run by Rafel Partida later in the second quarter to knot the score back up at 14-14.

was selected to the College Soccer News preseason All-America first team. He is the only underclassman named to the first or second team. Despite the honor, Rowe will not suit up for the Bruins this season. He is exploring his options for a possible professional career in Europe or in Major League Soccer.

“I want as many options as possible,” Rowe told the Seattle Times after training with Sounders FC in April.

“If I can’t make it with a European team, and all the leagues in Europe are very hard to get to, I would definitely love to come back here and play in MLS. I’m never counting that out at all.”

Rowe, a member of the U.S. Under-20 National team, was a third-team NSCAA All-American in 2010, as well as the Pac-10’s

Freshman of the Year. He led the Bruins with 10 assists last season, tying the school’s freshman record, and he ranked second on the squad in goals scored (seven) and points (24).

Rowe also had trials in Europe during the spring with the French club Stade Rennes and with German Bundesliga side, FC Cologne.

• The Tacoma Rainiers set a new franchise attendance record after a sell-out crowd of 7,590 fans packed Cheney Stadium to see the Rainiers take on the Fresno Grizzlies on Saturday.

The Rainiers 18th sell-out of the season pushed the club’s total attendance to 364,092 fans in 2011, eclipsing the previous record of 363,635 fans set at the end of last season. This season marks the third consecutive year the Rainiers have

set a franchise attendance record.

“It’s remarkable that the region supported the club like this,” Team President Aaron Artman said. “The park was built to be a local treasure, and the true community gathering place for Tacoma.

“But, you never know how things will turn out until you open the gates and throw a pitch. It’s special to see the people of Tacoma turn a beautiful building into an iconic ballpark.”

This season is the Rainiers’ first since Cheney Stadium underwent a $30 million dollar renovation during the 2010 offseason.

The 210-day facelift added amenities that include 16 luxury suites, a 4,000 square foot Summit Club and restaurant and a grass berm located along right field.

Tickets for the 2012

season are available now and may be purchased or renewed on the Cheney Stadium concourse during the Rainiers’ final two games of the season.

Sept. 10th:Vendor Appreciation Day

Federal Way native Ben Henderson had quite a week in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The Decatur High School graduate signed a new multi-fight contract with the UFC, according to First Round Management president and CEO Malki Kawa. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“I am excited that I will have the opportunity to continue to compete in the UFC,” said Henderson. “I want to thank the UFC for believing in me and my abilities.” “(This) contract extension shows the MMA world that the UFC values Ben Henderson,” Kawa stated.

Ben Henderson Henderson (14-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) recently thrust himself into UFC lightweight title contention with an upset and dominant unanimous-decision victory over former top contender Jim Miller. The win over Miller was Henderson’s second fight in the UFC, which came after his debut victory over Mark Bocek in Toronto.

The 155-pound Henderson entered the UFC after holding the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) title for well over a year. He is 12-1 over his past 13 fights, with the lone defeat coming to Anthony Pettis in the WEC’s final show.

The win over Miller puts Henderson right in the UFC lightweight title mix, along with Gray Maynard, Clay Guida and Melvin Guillard. Maynard is fighting champion Frankie Edgar in October. According to all indications, Henderson’s next match will be against Guida later in the year with the winner earning No. 1 contender status and a title shot, most likely.

“To be honest with you, I’m not really sure (where I rank),” Henderson said. “It’s not really my place to say, ‘Oh, I’m this guy – No. 7, No. 10, No. 21.’ It doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to get my hand raised. I’ll do my talking inside of the cage. I think the top guys are Guida, Guillard and myself. Miller was stated as the next guy in line for a title shot. Whoever. Whatever.”

Henderson’s two-match winning streak in the UFC came after losing his World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) title to Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in the WEC’s final event.

The loss to Pettis was Henderson’s first loss since 2007.

He won the WEC lightweight title with a decision over Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone on Oct. 10, 2009, and held it until losing to Pettis on Dec. 16, 2010.

Henderson, 28, began wrestling during his time at Lakota Middle School and continued at Decatur, where he competed under head coach Mike Bressler.

www.federalwaymirror.com those scores dropped to 56.5 percent and 49.2 percent, respectively.

Seventh-graders did score higher than the state average in reading, while eighth-graders were above the state average in both reading and math.

All school districts must meet Adequate Yearly Progress, in which schools are judged on their successful instruction overall by standardized state testing. Since its enactment, the required standard has been incrementally increased over the years, with 2010-2011 being an especially difficult year for schools, as many of the required marks for AYP increased 10-20 percent.

A number of Federal Way schools made significant gains in areas, but were unable to meet the standard for AYP because of the “sharp step up in the bar.”

However, 13 schools in Federal Way were able to meet AYP in all categories, according to the district.

Those schools are Adelaide Elementary, Brigadoon Elementary, Enterprise Elementary, Federal Way Public Academy, Green Gables Elementary, Mark Twain Elementary, Meredith Hill Elementary, Merit School, Sherwood Forest Elementary, Support School, Technology Access Foundation Academy, Twin Lakes Elementary and Woodmont Elementary.

[ CHARGES from page 1] men, LPOs for Phoenix are not required, but it’s strongly suggested, that they make two “stops” per shift, meaning they have to successfully detain two shoplifters per a 10-hour shift.

However, there’s a fine line, the documents reveal, because if LPOs make a “bad” stop, they face quick reprimands and possible termination.

“What this means is that the loss prevention guys know two things,” Fogg said. “They’ve got to make a certain number of stops per shift, or they (can) lose their job, but they also know if they make a mistake, if they admit they make a mistake, they’ll be fired. In fact, not just fired, but the company will leave them hanging in terms of any civil liability.”

Outside of that, the deposition statements show there are five elements needed by Phoenix LPOs to make a “good” stop. Those elements are to “watch the subject enter the store or aisle,” “watch the subject select the merchandise off the shelf,” “watch the subject conceal, consume or damage the merchandise,” and “maintain surveillance at all times and then watch them exit the store or bypass all points of sale.”

In Mukai’s case, the depositions of both LPOs reveal that they did not achieve all five of these elements when it came to

either Mukai or the autistic child he was watching that day, meaning that neither Mukai nor the autistic boy should have been detained.

According to the deposition papers, neither LPO saw the autistic boy select or conceal merchandise, and Mukai did not leave the store with the merchandise.

Fogg and Zach Wagnild, the other attorney representing Mukai in this case, said there is a lack of video surveillance to either corroborate the stories of the two LPOs, or to back their client’s narrative of the events of July 19, 2010.

“The surveillance tape was never looked at by anybody, and we don’t have it now because it’s been recycled,” Fogg said.

The depositions of the two LPOs indicate that surveillance tapes are a tool that can be used by Phoenix LPOs. However, the tapes most often are not used because of complications of requesting the tapes or acquiring the tapes from the companies that contract with Phoenix.

One other detail Mukai and his lawyers have taken issue with is the manner in which reports are filled out

by Phoenix LPOs. According to the depositions, the men readily admitted that they used the same report for both Mukai and the autistic boy, and just cut and pasted to change the names, so they would get credit for the separate “stops.”

The deposition statements show the LPOs were

made aware of Mukai’s presence by a Safeway employee, who became concerned with Mukai’s behavior when she saw him grabbing empty bags before he started shopping.

For Safeway and Phoenix LPOs, this is a red flag for potential shoplifting, with the logic being someone will take the empty bags, place products in them and walk out of the store, creating the impression they had paid for the groceries because they’re bagged.

Wagnild said grabbing bags before he starts shopping is something Mukai does because of his cultural background.

“Mr. Mukai has never denied that he got the shopping bags before he started shopping. In Asian families, they often times shop for multiple people, so when they do that, they have to have a way to keep things separate,” he said.

“They often ring things up separately too, so there’s a receipt for everyone.”

Fogg said he hopes some common sense will come into play soon for his client.

“I can’t imagine the Federal Way prosecutors office...that this is a trial they would want to expend resources on,” he said. “My client, at each step of the way, kept thinking, ‘This will get straightened out, the mistake will get fixed.’

I would hope they revisit the charges, but so far they haven’t, and we really have no choice but to pursue it in court.”

“When they contacted us about a Wednesday market we were interested.

I was pleased to see something in my hometown,” said Ford, an area resident for 22 years. “I very much enjoy the farmers market outlet because I actually see the people who are going to eat my fish.”

Aside from farmers markets, Ford generates business through direct sales and custom deliveries, even shipping her salmon nationwide.

“This is what I do year round,” Ford said on earning a living through salmon.

“I tell people, all fish all the time.”

Ford has been fishing in Bristol Bay her entire life. The annual fishing season, which runs June through early September, has also given her a few tales to tell. She is involved with environmental advocacy, specifically against a company that wants to create North America’s largest open pit gold mine near Bristol Bay. Last summer, Ford and her crew escaped death after their boat sunk during a nighttime storm.

“We had taken on some water at shore,” she said. “We flipped over and the three of us spent an hour and a half in the water before finding a line.”

She said the water was so cold that their

Color trends

When cool fall weather drives us inside, we often start to feel the urge to redecorate our homes. Before spending your money on interior paint and new couch cushions, take some time to consider the trends in homedécor colors for 2011-2012. Choosing a new color scheme is the most inexpensive way of transforming your home, but if you don’t choose wisely your home will soon have an outdated look.

Over the last few years, neutral colors have been popular for interiors, especially browns, beiges, and ligh­ter tones of grey. These days, however, more colorful shades are moving in, such as dark reds, various shades of blues and greens, as well as rich earth tones, including gold and clay. Sunny yellows are

also making a noticeable splash. Another trend is towards the use of blocks of color on walls. This consists of creating square, rectangular, or round shapes on the walls, usually with the aim of highlighting a specific architectural element.

Do your research: good paint stores have take-home pamphlets containing the latest creative ideas. Remember that you should never use more than three different colors in one room. When planning your paint décor, keep in mind the “60-30-10” rule: the dominant color should take up 60 percent of painted surfaces, the secondary color, 30 percent, and the accent color, 10 percent.

Eliminate wasted space

You’d like your child to have a desk in his or her room, but there’s nary an inch of space to spare? Don’t worry! You can transform a bedroom closet by removing the door, installing a flat working surface inside, and putting up a few shelves. Add a chair and a reading light and you’re all set.

Even if you don’t need a desk, the storage space in a child’s closet is often under utilized and can be put to other uses. Because kids’ clothes are short, you can lower the hanger rod, giving you enough room to install shelves for extra storage space for toys or for off-season clothes belonging to the rest of the family.

If your linen closet is always in a mess, here are a few tips

Transform your child’s closet into a work and creativity space by removing the door and installing a flat working surface topped by a few shelves and a good light.

to help you solve the problem.

Organize the closet, storing articles according to their use (bed linens, towels, tablecloths, etc.), then by room (master bedroom, bathroom, etc.). Put a label on each shelf with the name of the person they are used by. You could also allocate a color to each member of the family: candy pink for mom, crimson red for dad. It makes putting away clean laundry easy and everyone will always know where their towels and bedding are.

To un-clutter a front hall, put in a coat rack stand and a large pot in which to store umbrellas. Just a few such touches will result in a more inviting atmosphere and a tidier home!

...HOME & GARDEN Revamp your decor

Dare to combine lemon yellow and electric blue, the ultimate anti-depressant cocktail!

The major decorating trend in 2011 is to opt for bright colors and use lots of creativity in restoring old furniture. Tired old color combinations, such as forest green and burgundy, are being traded in for blends never before seen, such as lime green and turquoise, or lemon yellow and electric blue. The idea is to show no hesitation in mixing styles and textures, although neutral colors are still the recommended standbys as a background for trendy color accents.

Painting one wall in a room in a fashionable color is enough to add life to a neutral decor and is a stylish way to dress up a space. You can be trendy and environmentally conscious by shopping around for paint that is free of

volatile organic compounds (VOC).

To create visual interest in a room by dressing an old sofa in brightly colored upholstery.

A less expensive alternative is to cover some throw cushions with geometric or floral designs and combine them with others in plain colors or broad stripes.

Dining room furniture can also benefit from a facelift. If you love contemporary style, place transparent or white plastic thermoform chairs at your old dining room table. Or for a more rustic feel, place at your table a selection of mismatched chairs which all have common proportions. Or, paint each chair in a different color — this adds a touch of spice to the room and conversation.

Trends in today’s kitchen counters Experts on the subject will tell you that trends in the kitchen counter industry have evolved significantly in recent years.

Formica and other laminate surfacing products are making way for elegant quarried rock, which brings durability and upto-date style to any kitchen.

Quartz is the material preferred by a majority of home owners because of its similarity to granite. But where granite can be permanently stained by oils and cooking fat, quartz is quite resistant. Counters made with tiles composed of glass, ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, such as slate, are also popular. Tiles allow you to really personalize your kitchen, thanks to the huge range of textures, colors, and patterns available on the market.

For those with ample budgets, a section of marble in a

...HOME & GARDEN

kitchen counter layout represents sheer luxury. Even though this material is ideal for rolling pastry, marble is relatively vulnerable to stains, shocks, and scratches. That is why many people prefer to keep this type of counter for the bathroom. Stainless steel counters are long-lasting, hygienic, and are resistant to heat and rust.

They can also be an environmentally friendly choice, as some counters are manufactured from recycled steel.

Always available, of course, are the less expensive highpressure laminate counters. They are resistant to stains, shocks, and heat but are vulnerable to scratching and humidity. Whatever budget home decorators fix, the choice for kitchen counters today is wide. All it takes is some planning and shopping around for the look and cost that best suits them.

Personalize your kitchen with a huge range of textures, colors, and patterns‌
