City sued over fatal collision from 2010

The estate of Douglas Simmons III, a Fife man killed last year during a police pursuit on Highway 99, has filed a wrongful death case and is suing the city of Federal Way, the state Department of Corrections and the woman who killed Simmons.

Simmons was killed on July 26, 2010, after Virginia Ramsey collided with his vehicle while driving intoxicated. The suit alleges that Federal Way is partially at fault because at the time, a Federal Way police officer was in pursuit of Ramsey.

The lawsuit alleges that the Federal Way officer in question should have known police were in pursuit of a reckless and dangerous driver who was likely to endanger the public, and should have ended the pursuit before something happened.

According to the police report of the incident, the Federal Way officer spotted Ramsey’s car in a parking lot. As the officer drove into the lot, Ramsey’s car passed by and ran a stop sign as she drove onto South 356th Street. The officer followed the car as it proceeded south on Pacific Highway South. The report notes that Ramsey was drifting across lanes of traffic before she ran a red light at Porter Way in Milton and struck Simmons’ car, killing him instantly. The accident left Simmons’ passenger in critical condition, and also left Ramsey in critical condition. [ more LAWSUIT, page 11 ]

Georgia Roehrick Georgia Roehrick, 66, died September 10, 2011, at her home in Graham, WA. Georgia was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 24, 1944 to Maxine Katherine (Johnson) and George Edward Kottke. She attended Highline High School in Burien, Washington. On June 10, 1961 she married Duane Lee Roehrick at St. Philamena Parish in Federal Way, Washington. Together they had two children, son Kim Lee and daughter Cindy Liane Georgia loved camping and flying, which she began in her late twenties. It became her lifelong passion. She worked as a school bus driver for the Federal Way School District for 27 years, earning several “Safe Driver” awards. Her daughter, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews were her pride and joy.

Georgia is survived by her daughter Cindy Gua, grandchildren Erin and Adam Gua, sisters Barbara, Esther, Sue, and Pam, brothers Paul and Denny, and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son Kim, sister Karen, and husband Duane.

In lieu of flowers, Georgia would like donations made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in her honor.

Students in Washington had the highest math score of states with more than 50 percent participation, scoring a 529 on average. The state tied with New Hampshire for the highest average in reading, with students in both states averaging a 523 on that exam. The average writing score for Washington students of a 508 was the fourth highest average in the country.

“Results like these show our education system is working,” state superintendent Randy Dorn said in a Sept. 14 statement. “Our teachers and students are doing a tremendous job.”

Even in a time of good news, Dorn felt it necessary to remind the Washington State Legislature that these kinds of positive results are likely to disappear as the state and national budget crisis deepens.

Are you planning a college education for your children?

I ask that question to every

Examining the mayor’s power In 2009, Federal Way voters significantly altered the political and managerial structure of City Hall from council-manager to mayorcouncil. While the vote was not an overwhelming repudiation of one system or an embrace of the other, the majority voted to implement a strong mayor form of government.

In 2010, State Rep. Skip Priest defeated three other candidates to become the city’s first popularly elected mayor.

He assumed office in late November.

That started the actual transition of power.

In the strong mayor form, the day-to-day management of City Hall and much of the political leadership is transferred to the mayor.

The city council’s role shifts from supervisors of the city manager and policy/political leadership to providing a check and balance relationship to the mayor and city administration. The council still retains a separate political leadership role, but the mayor is the head of government and the leader of the city.

Now that we have elected the mayor, how is the implementation of the new form of government going? Has the city council transferred powers to the mayor, or has it been reluctant?

Is the mayor exercising his authority? What’s different?

I asked those and other questions of the mayor, council, city staff and community leaders. Not surprisingly, there are different points of view.

Citizens can change the structural relationship between the legislative and executive arms of government. Whether it is fully implemented may be more a product of personality and philosophy.

Today we compare Federal Way with cities of about the same size that have had a strong mayor form of government for many years.

Historically, a strong mayor appoints residents to city boards and commissions to provide advice and recommendations to the city council on city programs and policies. The city council then confirms or rejects the appointment. Citizens with an interest or talent in that discipline are usually appointed, but it may also be an appointment of a friend or political ally.

All cities surveyed and most others follow this traditional procedure.

In Federal Way, the council previously held both the appointment and confirmation authority in the council-manager form. When considering the issue last year, the council chose to retain both powers rather than relinquish the appointment portion to the mayor. When asked about it, some said they might consider reallocating that authority to the mayor if he asked for it. But the majority felt the council should continue to perform that function and would be reluctant to give it to the mayor. Currently the mayor has no role.

Interestingly, some citizen board members have felt like they are expected to be rubber stamps to the council.

Mayor Priest says he hasn’t given much thought to the power of appointments and has been focused on more important issues such as the budget.

Under the law, the mayor is the chief executive and all employees work for the mayor. Typically, city councils do not have their own staff. [ more ROEGNER page 8 ] Bob Roegner

GUEST

I remember growing up as a young boy looking forward to the fall season with much anticipation. Excited for a new school year to begin, raking up great big piles of leaves and running through them for hours on end. Counting down the days to Halloween and playing pick-up games of football in the park. Ah, those were the days.

There is no mistaking what time of year it is, but how different things are for me now. I no longer burst with excitement and anticipation for these fall and winter months. The school zones are now patrolled on a daily basis by officers in their shiny new motorcycles and radar guns. The days are beginning later and ending earlier, or so it seems, and those leaves I once played with are now clogging the storm drains on the city streets.

Halloween is no longer as safe as it once was.

And, rather than cheers coming from the ball fields, the sound of hammers fill the air as dozens of political signs crop up seemingly overnight, littering the streets as each candidate competes for the most visible piece of real estate.

That’s right. It’s not just “back-to-school” season. Or football season. No, it’s something bigger and more important than that. It’s election season. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year that many Americans have begun to dread.

It’s the time of year when mailboxes are stuffed on a daily basis as candidates strut their accomplishments like a peacock in mating season.

Doorbells ring throughout the neighborhood as candidates canvass an area drudging up votes.

It’s the time of year when you can’t turn on the radio or television without hearing smear ads and mud-slinging politicians taking aim at their political opposition. And, unfortunately, it’s the time of year when it’s difficult to separate truth from fiction.

However, as annoying as all of these ad campaigns and political signs can be, this is a most important time of year for America. Regardless of which side of the political aisle you stand on, this is your time to be heard. This is your time to exercise the vote that you are entitled to as a law-abiding citizen of America. This is your time to be a part of “We the People.”

Some say it is a right. I say it is an opportunity.

An opportunity for you to choose your representation, both in the “other” Washington and the Washington we call home. An opportunity to forge the future of the next generation. An opportunity for your voice to be heard.

The Federal Way School Board was made aware of the fact that Washington state is not very successful in the production of college graduates at a recent meeting. In fact we are tied for 48th in the nation.

When I ask most parents about college planning, I find that they assume that this is a process that they can defer until at least their student’s junior year of high

school. This often leads to some poor choices, one of the reasons for lack of success in college, or just plain outright rejection of the student’s application at the college of their choice.

The newspapers have been full of articles about the increased competitiveness for admission to the University of Washington, and this trend is likely to continue. Students with nearly perfect

GPAs, mostly from high schools that UW does not believe are rigorous, have been denied admission to the “U.” The university has established a rating system for each high school that sends more than five students to the “U” each year based upon how well these students do at the “U.” What about other colleges?

There is good news and bad news.

The good news, not well under-

stood by many, is that many of the finest colleges and universities in the nation aspire to have a “geographic diversity” in their student bodies, and the Pacific Northwest is the most difficult part of the country from which to attract enrollees. This makes for some unusually attractive incentives for those students who have cultivated a relationship with these institutions.

In fact, some of these schools are making offers to well qualified students before they even begin [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

November, consider the candidates family values.

Consider their position on the things that matter most — the sanctity of life and of family. You can strip away my money, my dignity, my pride and my self-esteem, and if I have nothing left but I have my family, I would consider myself richly blessed. And I believe most people feel the same way.

So, family values really do matter when it comes to your vote. Either your candidate has them, or they don’t. Either they live according to a set of principles, or they meander through life as their political party pulls their string, supporting what they are told to support, rather than what they truly believe in.

This is our time. If we are going to turn the tide in our country and regain

their senior year. At least two highly competitive colleges are even offering admission to those who have finished their sophomore year of high school.

The bad news is that many parents, and students, are not aware of the admission requirements, ever increasing, that competitive colleges are demanding. SAT subject tests, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge, or demonstrated success in Advanced Placement exams are examples of this.

I know of several colleges today that will expect SAT subject test results with the student’s application. That means that the students will have taken these exams in their junior year!

When should college planning begin? There are many families in the Northwest who are starting this in the eighth grade. I ask students, “Who knows you at what college?�

the American dream and the American way of life, it’s going to start with individuals and families, and the values we place on those we love.

It doesn’t matter, really, whether your candidate has a D or an R behind their name, or is part of the Tea Party or some other organization. What matters is character and the values they cling to. Let that be your deciding factor when you choose your leaders this fall, not the number of political signs you pass on the way to work each day.

spends about 25 percent of their time on council business and the council is part time. Since the mayor has the authority to assign anyone he wants to assist the council, and determine if the council has any role in the process, this may be an issue at some point.

Priest says he isn’t sure how the evaluation will work.

Another area that was reviewed was assignment to regional committees. All cities follow the same process as Federal Way, and the eight elected officials work it out informally amongst themselves. The mayor by virtue of his position automatically serves on some regional boards. What committees the mayor serves on next year will help enhance his role in the region.

Similar to other cities, the council’s leader is the deputy mayor, who assigns council members to council committees. The council may or may not ask for the mayor’s input.

mittees in the discussion.

Interestingly, it is the mayor who has allowed the council to share one of his powers. The awarding of proclamations is a mayoral prerogative that honors worthy individuals and programs. Mayor Priest has continued the old process of council involvement and has them go through a council committee, and all council members sign them. This is a rare approach.

Overall, Federal Way is pretty close to other cities in their application of legislative and executive relationships.

However, in two of the most important areas, appointments to boards and commissions and council staff, the city council has been reluctant to relinquish authority usually held by the mayor.

Mayor Priest does not have some of the same powers his fellow mayors have. The fact that we are almost one year into the mayor’s term and these powers haven’t apparently been raised is surprising. In the big picture, these powers are small and usually get raised behind the scenes in the first month a new mayor is in office.

With so many other big problems facing city leaders, are these symbols of power worth a debate, since the council seems reluctant to change? That’s what makes the debate worth having.

Some council members acknowledged they don’t really want to change very much and note the mayor seems comfortable with the systems that were in place when he was mayor previously in the councilmanager form of government. And so far, everyone seems to get along.

Did we really change the form of government? Some observers suggest what we may have is a hybrid mixture of the two forms.

Next week, a closer look at policy relationships.

differs by jurisdiction. In some cities, it is called the deputy mayor or mayor pro temper. In most cities, that person is called the council president to differentiate from the administration.

Federal Way had both a mayor and a deputy mayor in the council-manager form and has retained the deputy mayor terminology to designate the head of the council.

In most cities, the mayor appoints major policy positions such as department heads, and they are subject to confirmation by the city council. The mayor’s personal staff such as executive assistant, public information officer and inter-governmental affairs are not typically subject to confirmation by the council, nor are staff positions that do not head a major department or function.

The confirmation process is a check and balance on the mayor to ensure qualified candidates are being hired.

It is not intended to be a political process, but can be at times.

Federal Way’s approach includes confirmation, but it is vague and we haven’t seen how it will actually work with a new hire.

Although, we may get the opportunity: a couple of department heads have recently been finalists for other positions.

I have written before about the two-year contracts that the council extended to department heads. Well intended or not, it was a highly unusual move and the net effect diminished the mayor’s ability to choose his own management team by a third of his term in office. The mayor chose not to challenge the contracts, which will soon run out.

As with other cities, the mayor does have veto authority as part of the checks and balances process, although that authority has not been exercised yet.

Setting the agenda for the council meeting is mixed.

In Federal Way, the deputy mayor sets the agenda, but includes the mayor and two council members who chair specific council com-

Ramsey, who had a history of convictions for drug possession, assault, theft and driving with a suspended license, had been in violation of her conditions of supervision the day of the accident. The lawsuit also alleges that the DOC failed to properly monitor her status and have Ramsey put in jail for her violations.

Ramsey, 37, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, vehicular assault and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle earlier this year. She was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison. Both public agencies declined to comment, citing policies on about pending litigation.

Eagles take control of SPSL South by snapping Curtis’ 28-game winning streak

BY CASEY OLSON

sports@fedwaymirror.com

The streak is over.

The ninth-ranked Federal Way Eagles snapped the Curtis Vikings’ 28-game regular-season winning streak Friday night with a 17-7 win in University Place. Curtis had won the last three South Puget Sound League South Division titles in dominant fashion.

But Friday’s win gives the Eagles the inside track at getting back into the postseason after falling short a season ago. Federal Way had qualified for the playoffs the four years prior.

Federal Way currently sits by themselves atop the SPSL South with a perfect D.J. May 3-0 record. Bethel is the only other unbeaten team in the division at 2-0. The two teams meet Sept. 30 in Graham.

Friday night, it was again the Eagles’ defense and the running of D.J. May which proved to be the difference against Curtis.

May tallied both of the Federal Way touchdowns Friday night, including the second with just two minutes left in the fourth quarter to ice the game for the Eagles. The two touchdowns were May’s seventh and eighth of the season in just three games.

May finished the night with 82 tough yards on 21 carries against the Curtis defense. May was over 100 yards the first two weeks of the season.

The Federal Way defense, led by Washington State-commit Jordan Pulu and Portland State-commit Uso Olive, was impressive again. After giving up an early touchdown to E.J. Deveaux, the Eagles held the Vikings scoreless in the final three quarters. In total, the Federal Way defense has given up a total of 34 points against three high-powered offenses in Graham-Kapowsin, Puyallup and Curtis.

Curtis’ only score came after the Vikings blocked a punt, giving them [ more FEDERAL WAY page 13 ]

Raiders beat Auburn for the first time since 1994 to get right into the unfamiliar postseason mix

It has been a year of firsts for the Thomas Jefferson football program.

Last week, the Raiders beat perennial powerhouse Kentwood for the first time ever.

Jefferson backed up that win by squeaking by another South Puget Sound League monster, the Auburn Trojans, Friday night at Auburn Memorial Stadium, 8-7.

The win was the Raiders’ first over the Trojans since 1994 and improved TJ to 2-1 in the South Puget Sound League North Division, [ more JEFFERSON page 13 ]

In the clash of the two South Puget Sound League South Division girls soccer giants, the first round went to the Todd Beamer Titans.

Beamer used a 35th-minute goal from junior Jenny Hoefel

to outdistance the Emerald Ridge Jaguars 1-0 Thursday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium to take early control of the SPSL South.

The Titans (4-0-0) and Jaguars (2-1-0) were the lone unbeaten and untied teams in the division entering Thursday’s match and have dominated the SPSL South over the last four

seasons. During that stretch, Beamer has won three league titles and Emerald Ridge one.

Hoefel’s goal on Thursday came on a pass from Janell Carlson and was her fourth in the Titans’ four league matches this season. Goalkeeper Meghan Graf earned the shutout, her third of the season.

Jefferson 4, Mt. Rainier 2

The Raiders (1-2-0) picked up their first win of the season thanks to a hat trick from senior Lindsey Dahl, which all came in the second half Thursday. Dahl scored in the 42nd, 72nd and 76th minutes against Mount Rainier.

Kristine Coranado scored TJ’s other goal. [ more WRAP UP page 13 ]

one game back of unbeaten Kentlake (3-0). Auburn had won two of the last three SPSL North championships.

“Words can’t describe it,” said TJ senior quarterback K.W. Williams.

“Honestly, coming out here, we were a little intimidated because they’ve been a powerhouse for I don’t know how many years. They’re a great team, we’re just happy to get out of here with a win.”

Williams and the rest of the Raiders hope their year of firsts culminates with the program rolling into the postseason for the first time in school history.

But Friday night, the Raiders needed every inch of the turf at Auburn Memorial Stadium to snag the season-defining victory over the Trojans.

After slugging it out for four quarters and trailing 8-7, Auburn (2-1) found themselves at the Raiders’ 4-yard line with just seconds remaining on the clock.

“The decision was should we go for a field goal or run it in,” Auburn coach Gordon Elliott said. “And our field goal kicking is an adventure at best, so I decided I’d rather put it in the hands of our offense. It’s a do-or-die situation, and I thought we had better odds of doing that at that point, rather than going with our kicking game.”

With no time outs and the clock running down, the Trojans put it in the hands of junior running back Darnell Hagans, who fought his way through the Jefferson defense before being stopped just an inch shy of the end zone.

“I thought we could get it in, and it looked like we did,” Elliott said. “But I guess we didn’t.”

As usual, the Raiders were led by Williams. The senior finished with a game-high 166 yards rushing on 28 carries. Williams also threw for TJ’s lone touchdown, finding senior Gunner Sonnenfeld from 2 yards out with 6:41 left in the fourth quarter to cut the Auburn lead to 7-6.

The Trojans tallied their lone score

the third quarter. Ryley Dozier’s PAT late in the third quarter made it 7-0.

But the Raiders and head coach Dean Peck didn’t hesitate in their decision to go for the 2-point conversion and the lead after the Sonnenfeld touchdown.

There was also no hesitation in who would have the ball in their hands. Williams took the shotgun snap and rolled around the Auburn defense into the corner of the endzone for the conversion and the 8-7 lead.

Hagans keyed the Trojans’ final drive of the game, which began at the Raiders’ 42-yard line with just 1 minute, 42-seconds left in the game.

The first half was back-and-forth, despite being scoreless. Auburn took the opening kickoff and marched 87 yards to the Jefferson 5-yard line. But Williams tackled the Trojans’ Chandler Link for a 4-yard loss on third down and Auburn missed the 26-yard fieldgoal attempt.

Jefferson had a long Williams touchdown run called back because of a holding penalty later in the first half and also had a 43-yard field goal blocked by Auburn.

The Trojans struggled without the services of senior lineman Cory English, a Pac-12 recruit, who suffered a minor knee injury against Mount Rainier last week.

“He could have helped us out there,” Elliott said of the final play. “They’re (Jefferson) pretty physical up front and not having our most physical lineman playing hurt, on both sides of the ball.”

Things don’t get any easier for the Raiders. Jefferson will battle the unbeaten Kentlake Falcons at 7 p.m.

Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. A victory would mean the Raiders would sit atop the SPSL North Division halfway through the season.

The seventh-ranked Falcons have beat Auburn Riverside (49-7), Kentridge (30-22) and Mount Rainier (55-0) in their first three games of the season.

DECATUR 4, TIMBERLINE 0

the ball on Federal Way’s 24-yard line to take a 7-0 lead. Deveaux scored four plays later.

The Eagles and May came right back by scoring their first touchdown of the game on a 15-yard run to tie the game later in the first quarter. Federal Way kicker Koby Craig gave the Eagles a 10-7 lead when he hit a 37-yard field goal early in the third quarter.

Eagle defensive back J.J. McNeil clinched the win with an interception with just over a minute left in the game.

Federal Way will host Emerald Ridge (2-1) Thursday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

DECATUR 20, AT YELM 14 The Gators improved to 2-1 on the year with the non-league win over the Tornadoes Friday night in Yelm.

Things couldn’t have started out better for the Gators. Decatur returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown to take a quick 6-0 lead. Yelm came right back to take a 7-6 lead on a 6-yard TD run by Jacob Swilley, but the Gators tallied the next two scores to take a commanding 20-7 lead.

Decatur quarterback Abraham Ferrell-Logan hit Drew Thompson on a pair of touchdown passes.

The first was a 71-yarder in the second quarter and the second was from 35-yards out. Thompson finished with six catches for 175 yards.

The Gators will take on Foss Saturday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium in another nonleague contest. The game will be dedicated to Robert Harris, the Decatur junior who drowned at Lake Tapps on Sept. 10. Fans are asked to wear black to honor Harris.

AUBURN RIVERSIDE 48, AT BEAMER 13 The Titans fell to 0-3 on the season with the non-league, home loss to the Ravens Friday night at Federal Way memorial Stadium.

Auburn Riverside took the lead in the first quarter on a 42-yard field goal from Joe Miles. But Beamer came right back when quarterback Arjun Weherwatthage hit Willie Roach on a 34-yard touchdown pass later in the opening quarter. The Peter Lee extra point gave the Titans a 7-3 advantage.

But the Ravens tallied the next 43 points to run away with the game.

Roach finished with five catches for 62 yards.

Nick Bod led plethora of Beamer rushers with 64 yards.

Ashley Graves recorded a hat trick Thursday during the shutout of Timberline in the non-league contest.

Graves gave the Gators a 2-0 with with a pair of first-half goals and scored again just after halftime. Lyla Lusnik scored Decatur’s other goal and Abby McFaul finished with three assists. Allison Lewis got the shutout in net.

FEDERAL WAY 1, G-KAPOWSIN 1 The Eagles played to the tie Thursday. Federal Way (1-1-1) got its goal from Gabriela Pelogi in the 48th minute.

Golf

The Beamer boys slipped by Federal Way Thursday at Sumner Meadows, 60-59. Nate Smith led the way for the Titans by earning medalist honors and 15 team points. Gage Scarpello had the low round for the Eagles.

On the girls side, Decatur and TJ continued to be ultra-impressive.

The Gators remained unbeaten in the SPSL 3A with a 132-111 win over Peninsula Thursday at Canterwood.

Defending Class 3A state champion, Rachel Lewis, fired a 2-under 35 to earn medalist for Peninsula.

Alexus Song shot a 37 Thursday to lead TJ to a 117-46 win over Curtis at Meadow Park. Sarah Yu fired a 40 and Jiny Lee and Hannah Yi both shot 43s.

Cross country Jefferson’s Leah Kiyohara ended up in fifth place overall at the prestigious Fort Steilacoom Invite Saturday, which included over 50 teams.

Kiyohara finished the course in 19:17.

Mount Rainier’s Jordan McPhee won in 17:46.

Peninsula won the team title and TJ finished up in fourth place. Beamer was 16th in the team standings.

Existing site is a collocation on a water tank owned by Lakehaven Utility District; associated upgrades to equipment cabinets within existing lease area are also included.

Applicant: Becky Todd, Pacific Telecom Services, on behalf of AT&T, 568 First Ave S #650, Seattle, WA 98104 Project Location: 28405 Military Road South, Federal Way Date Application Received: August 26, 2011 Date Determined Complete: Sept. 16, 2011 Date of Notice of Application: Sept. 21, 2011 Comment Due Date: Oct. 5, 2011 Environmental Review: Based upon review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City, it is likely that the City of Federal Way will determine that the project will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment and expects to issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for this project. The optional DNS process in WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be your only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request.

Agencies, tribes, and the public are encouraged to review and comment on the proposed project and its probable environmental impacts. Comments must be submitted by the date noted above.
