CRIME BLOTTER | Thieves flee Victoria’s Secret, then assault elderly woman [5]
By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
Federal Way preacher, 109, chosen for African revival Federal Way resident Otis Clark, age 109, is the world’s oldest traveling evangelist. This week, a Pentecostal Christian church leader from Nigeria visited Clark to discuss a revival in Africa slated for January. The event is expected to draw one million people, according to the Rev. Mosy U. Madugba, who said Clark’s presence “will kickstart a wave of revival across the continent of Africa.” Clark was born Feb. 13, 1903, and is considered a key Pentecostal figure.

With gun sales around the country at an all-time high — and with Federal Way Police Department Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter one of the final five contestants on The History Channel’s shooting competition show “Top Shot” — it seems as though the time is ripe for a firearm range to be built in Federal Way. Local entrepreneur Robert Piel, who’s lived in Federal Way since 1996, is cautiously optimistic that he’ll be able to provide the range for local shooters. “I hope it works out, but I can’t promise anything,” Piel said. “I’m ready to go. We just need a building.” Piel said he envisions a facility that would be approximately 20,000 square feet. He hopes to include three classrooms for instruction, two “shop” areas for buying and selling firearms, and an area for a
metalsmith to make parts. He’s hoping to have 16 lanes for firearms, which would make it one of the largest shooting ranges in the state. Piel also hopes to welcome non-firearm weapons to the facility. “We’re trying to offer some different aspects to a range that hasn’t been done in the past. We’re hoping to have five archery ranges for people who want to practice with their arrows. They’ll have retrievable targets,” he said. The name of the proposed range has already been determined: Eco Family Range, LLC. Piel said he’s gathered a mountain of permits already, including seven federal firearm licenses and 10 others from local, state and federal agencies. The lack of a range in Federal Way has led local shooters far afield to practice their craft. For Piel, a retired police officer who [ more GUNS, page 12 ]

salmon into Hylebos Creek. Standing in 18 inches of water in the muddy creek, Federal Way surface water manager William Appleton and Ken Miller of the public works department released the salmon fry from their temporary plastic cups. Students had fun naming their salmon while watching from the safety of the boardwalk bridge at West Hylebos Wetlands Park. Dozens of juvenile salmon with names like Jack, Superman and Weirdo will begin their new lives in the Federal Way creek where they will grow, spawn and die. Aside from the salmon release, students learned about the life cycle of salmon through an interactive game. The students also got to see — and smell — a dead dissected coho salmon. Across the park, students planted cedar trees. The salmon released on Monday were raised in a giant water tank at Federal Way City Hall as part of the Salmon at City Hall program, which began in 2011. The City Hall project led to Storming the Sound with Salmon. Eventually, Federal Way students will raise their own salmon hatchlings. Federal Way school officials say the Storming the Sound with Salmon program suits the district’s science learning standards.

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR
THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.
When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning firm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new office and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-efficient office building in the Pacific Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certification and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and offices — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed. Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Many parents dread talking to their children about the puberty part of growing up. Perhaps it’s because we remember so fondly the rapid, strange and sometimes unwanted changes in our bodies. Or maybe it’s remembering the awkwardness involved in navigating increasingly complex social situations, the pressure to be a certain way, the absolute certainty no one else felt the way we did and the conviction that everyone was staring at us. How do you, as a parent, prepare your child for all that in a loving, positive way? Enter Great Conversations. Since 1988, founder Julie Metzger has been helping Seattle area parents navigate the murky waters of body changes and emotional shifts with their 10-12 year-old girls. Her business partner, Rob Lehman, MD, heads up the program for boys and their dads. Julie, Rob and their faculty (which I’ve recently been invited to join) help normalize the enormous changes that going through puberty brings to young people, their parents and families. They manage to do this with an informative, warm, humorous program that leaves parents and children feeling normal, listened to, and more often than not, laughing. Their programs also model the importance of parents, guardians and children talking together about these important topics, and open the door for future conversations. This spring, their signature program, “For Girls Only: A Heart to Heart Talk about Growing Up,” is coming to Federal Way. “Our primary goal is to provide important information helpful to understanding the experience of adolescence in a fun and engaging format with parents and youth,” says Metzger. “We believe that equipping families with the resources and tools they need to engage in conversations together will strengthen communication, provide a base of important health information for decision making, and encourage healthy relationships.” The two-part class is recommended for girls ages 10-12 along with a parent or trusted adult. The first class covers puberty changes, what girls experience during puberty, practical ideas and problem-solving common concerns of puberty, and tips on staying close through healthy communication in families. Class two, which happens about a week later, covers social, emotional and cognitive changes of puberty, how boys experience puberty, how babies are made, decision-making, relationships with friends and peers, and finding trusted resources to answer questions on growing up.

Ferrell alters local politics again Jim Ferrell has been one of the most visible and intriguing public officials in Federal Way for over a decade. Like most people, he has many sides that contain different and sometimes competing thoughts and goals. It was that inner conflict over public policy, and his own future, that likely led Ferrell to officially switch to the Democrat Party this month. It is a switch that could dramatically alter local politics. Ferrell brings the intelligence and preparation to the public debate that you would expect from a prosecuting attorney. His skill was particularly evident in leading the questioning of Sound Transit staff on light rail. Ferrell can also be occasionally confounding to his peers — and those that lean toward the comfort of predictable stability — with his Huey Long populist streak that has sought to remake city government and suggests an ambition beyond his membership on the Federal Way City Council. This is most recently evident in his Quixote tilting of the windmills over term limits. The former University of Washington football player can be bold and assertive as he was in leading the effort to change the form of city government from a city manager system to one led by a strong mayor. He can also be surprisingly cautious, as he was when he ran for mayor against Skip Priest. Even though Ferrell felt the city needed a more active leadership model than Priest’s status quo style, he never really drew the hard stark lines of difference that are part of today’s political climate. This might have made the difference in the race. Ferrell and Priest came from the same
party, had many of the same friends and supporters, and those relationships appear to have weighed heavily on the strategy Ferrell chose. Even in his new role as deputy mayor with a ready-made pulpit, his policy disagreements with the Priest administration — and there are several — have been low key, understated and even hesitant. Ferrell started his political career at a young age by serving as a White House intern. He earned his political stripes as a local precinct officer and as a county party vice-chairman. He was a candidate for appointment to a vacant state Senate seat, and later ran for the state Legislature. He attended national conventions and considered running for Congress. He did this all as a Republican. But last week, it all changed as Ferrell acted on an emotional pull some had seen unfolding for more than a year. He resigned from the Republican Party and became a Democrat. Switching parties isn’t as uncommon as it once was and might have been treated with a shoulder shrug if it involved most other members of local non-partisan city councils. But Ferrell isn’t just another office holder. He has been elected to the city council three times, and is the second highest ranking official in one of the largest cities in King County. Jim Ferrell is perceived by many to have ambitions that far exceed the Federal Way city limits. In switching parties, Ferrell was moving to resolve the inner conflicts he felt in how Republicans and Democrats approached our nation’s needs in energy, the environment, global climate change and women’s rights.

South King Fire levy failure: The minority has spoken for us all The South King Fire and Rescue Levy did not pass. With 59 percent of our community voting in favor of it, it failed. In any other election, a 19-point margin would be a landslide victory. Here, we call it a “loss.” The minority has spoken. Something’s wrong.
In a country that champions representative government and “one person, one vote,” we have somehow managed to enfranchise a minority to speak for the majority. The majority has said that we should resource SKFR and enable them to do the job with which they have been entrusted. The majority has affirmed their performance and appreciated their sacrifices to ensure our safety. But
the minority has spoken. Unreal. Because SKFR is committed as an organization to protect and improve our quality of life, they will now endeavor to do more with less. The impacts of this vote may not be felt for a year or two, but they will be felt. Education programs have already been cut. Response times will go up. But more importantly, we have said to the men and women who serve us faithfully, “We aren’t behind you.” What does that do to department morale? [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

I will never vote for Ferrell again It was interesting to read the column by Federal Way City Councilman Jim Ferrell in The Mirror (April 20). He gave us the news that he is switching from the Republican Party to the Democrat Party. He also tried to tell us why he is making this switch. Frankly, I think his reasoning is a bit fuzzy. He made a couple of critical comments about the Republican Party, but he had no comments about what was so much better in the Democrat Party. I wonder if there might not be some hidden reason that he is afraid to tell us about. It seems his major concern is the position of
the Republican Party on the issue of environment. He also complains that the “hard right” is influencing the party. Has he not heard that Mitt Romney will be the Republican presidential candidate and he is certainly not “hard right.” Has he not heard that the “hard left” has taken over the Democratic Party? Has he not heard that this “hard left” now controls the White House? Has he not heard that this “hard left” is making shambles out of our Constitution? Several years ago, I wrote a letter titled “The Day I Became a Republican.” On that day, I was 12 years old. I am now 90. In all those 78 years, there were many times that I was disappointed in the Republican Party, but there never was a time when Democrats presented a choice so much better that I would want to change parties. For me the choice between parties is simple. The Republican Party stands for capitalism. The Democratic Party stands for socialism. I prefer capitalism. I am glad that Jim Ferrell wrote that column. Now I know that I will never, ever vote for him again.

• Another run for mayor? This time he wouldn’t have to split Republican voters with Priest and could pick up Democratic voters. • A run for Congress in the new strongly Democratic district if Democratic incumbent Adam Smith were to retire or join President Obama’s cabinet in a second term. • Or what if State Sen. Tracey Eide decides not to run in two years? That could be a possibility. All three, of course, have notable hurdles to surmount. Or Ferrell could be thinking of something else. No matter what direction Ferrell chooses, he has altered local politics. Whether that is good, or whether it hurts or helps him, only time will tell. At the beginning of the year, Jim Ferrell was predicted to be one of Federal Way’s 2012 key newsmakers. What happens next may be even more newsworthy.

the local fire department? Read his posts and his comments and all you will see are attacks on South King Fire and Rescue’s leadership and commissioners.

FW Symphony beats Seattle’s I’m no music critic, but have pretty good knowledge of what’s good and bad, and the Federal Way Symphony’s performance of Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony on April 1 was just that: Titan. Interestingly, I attended the Seattle Symphony’s performance of the same piece a week later, April 7 at Benaroya Hall. Comparing orchestras probably is not fair either, but I have to admit I enjoyed the Federal Way performance more than Seattle’s, principally because the Federal Way orchestra played with soul, real feeling — while, as good they are, I had the feeling that to the Seattle players, it was another day at the office. When I first read the Federal Way ensemble was to perform the “Titan,” I was a bit skeptical that a community orchestra could do it justice. It’s a gigantic and complex composition requiring a large orchestra. Justice they did. While

Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Theft/assault at Victoria’s Secret: At 12:37 p.m. April 22 in the 1900 block of S. Commons, two suspects were caught attempting to steal merchandise from Victoria’s Secret. According to police, the two fled, and in the course of fleeing, one of them assaulted an elderly woman in the store. Both suspects were later found by police. • Pervert in a hot tub: At 12:20 a.m. April 21 in the 2500 block of S. Star Lake Road, an adult male was arrested for “touching a juvenile female in a sexual manner while in a hot tub at his apartment complex.” • The Great Beer Heist: At 2:12 a.m. April 21 in the 34000 block of Pacific Highway South, an unknown male entered a gas station and stole a pack of beer valued at $8. • Open container lands man in jail: At 4:23 p.m. April 21 in the 31000 block of 23rd Avenue South, a man was cited for drinking an open container of Mike’s Hard Lemonade while hanging out at the Federal Way Transit Center.
Maestro Brian Davenport may have imported a few key players and tweaked the score a bit to accommodate that to which he had to work, the overall effect was terrific. I particularly was impressed with the French horn section (all eight of them). As a former horn player, I know how difficult some of the passages are, and your guys and gals were every bit as equal to Seattle’s. Even more impressive was the work of Maestro Brian Davenport, who conducted the entire symphony without a score — an incredible feat, something Gerard Schwarz, the Seattle Orchestra Laureate
According to the report, a background check was performed on the man, which revealed he had an outstanding felony warrant. The man was taken into custody. • OxyContin stolen: At 7:30 a.m. April 22 in the 32000 block of 19th Place South, the victim reported that her 160-count bottle of OxyContin had been stolen. According to the report, the victim believed it may have been a friend who stole it. • Cellphone thieves: At 11:50 a.m. April 22 in the 30000 block of Pacific Highway South, unknown suspects entered a business and stole three “display” cellphones. According to the report, the employee who witnessed this was unable to get a good look at the suspects. The report notes there is no video surveillance available. • Bored thieves: At 1:09 p.m. April 22 in the 4700 block of SW 313th Pl., unknown suspects stole three pots, a doormat and a sprinkler from the victim’s front porch. • Strange men at 7-11: At 4:10 p.m. April 22 police responded to a report of two men offering to sell customers drugs as they walked into a 7-11 store. According to the report, one of the men had an outstanding warrant out of Seattle for indecent exposure. That man was arrested and transferred over to Seattle police.
Conductor, chose not to do. Bravo, Brian. Not to nitpick, but I wish Davenport had chosen not to interrupt the mood by splitting the four movements with an intermission, but that is a relative minor infraction. As I was leaving St. Luke’s church, I thanked a passing orchestra member for the performance. She turned and said with feeling, “It’s a beautiful piece,” which indeed it is, but seldom expressed by typical orchestra professionals. But then the Federal Way Symphony is not typical. Your community deserves a venue fitting a fine orchestra.

A 46-year-old Kent Police officer shot and wounded a 35-year-old Federal Way man after responding to a report of a man in a stolen car at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Arbor Chase Apartments, 1615 W. Smith St. The driver started to leave the area and was confronted by an officer, according to a Kent Police media release. At that time the officer attempted to stop the man and shots were fired by the officer. “He was shot once in each leg,” said Stan McCall, spokesman for Federal Way Police, which has taken over the shooting inves-
tigation since the incident involved a Kent officer. Paramedics transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was treated for a broken leg but is expected to recover, McCall said. After the officer fired shots, the man drove away and crashed into an occupied car near the apartments. The two people in that car were treated and released at a local hospital. The driver then headed about 1 mile north and abandoned the vehicle behind a warehouse in North Kent. Officers found the man and took him into custody. A records check showed the man has felony warrants for two counts of possession of a stolen vehicle. McCall said the man is under guard at the hospital by sheriff ’s deputies because of the warrants.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...
From dependence to independence Ada Francis has been an active, independent person, enjoying life and her 11 great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, in February 2012, Francis was hospitalized for congestive heart failure, and suddenly found herself totally dependent on others to care for her. Prior to returning home, Francis selected Garden Terrace of Federal Way for further nursing care and physical rehabilitation. In the beginning, the list of physical limitations seemed daunting for Francis. The need for oxygen to stand for even 10 seconds made her feel debilitated. Her inability to move out of bed without using a sliding board or
staff help was discouraging for this independent lady. With a weakened heart, progress was slow, but with her tenacity there was no letting up on her goals. Standing upright for five minutes without taking a break, getting in and out of bed by herself, walking 15 feet with a walker, putting her socks on, all done without the aid of oxygen, were milestones she joyfully celebrated. Francis wishes to thank the nursing and therapy staff for all their help and Ada Francis, independent never-ending encouragement. Returning home as an independent woman and enjoying life at 83! just in time to celebrate her 83rd birthday with her family meant everything.

Camelot Elementary wins Green Ribbon award By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
Get a $ 20 Massage! Get a 60-minute* full-body massage for only $20!
Federal Way’s own Camelot Elementary School was named as one of four winners from Washington for the U.S. Department of Education’s Green Ribbon Schools Award. The award recognizes “schools that excel in the areas of environmental impact and energy efficiency, healthy school environments, and environmental and sustainability education.” Camelot was joined by Tahoma Junior High School, the Northshore Secondary Academy for Success, and Redmond’s Overlake School. They were the only four in the state to be nominated. 78 schools from 29 states received a Green Ribbon Award from the Department of Education. “Science and environmental education play a central role in providing children with a well-rounded education that prepares them for jobs in the future,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “Green Ribbon Schools demonstrate compelling examples of ways schools can
expand their coursework while also helping children build real worked skill sets, cut school costs, and provide healthy learning environments.” The Green Ribbon Award is based on three “pillars.” The first looks at whether a school has an “net zero environmental impact,” which deals with a school’s efforts to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, reduce waste production, and find alternative forms of transportation for the school. The second pillar is focused on improving the health and performance of students and staff, which includes an “integrated school environment health program” and having “high standards of nutrition, fitness and quantity of quality outdoor time.” The final pillar is aimed at making sure all of the students in a school are literate in the environment and the ideas of sustainability. This pillar is aimed at making sure a school’s curriculum is proficient in a number of areas regarding environmental education. Nancy Sutley, chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, says these schools are leading the way in educating students and staff on environmental conservation and preservation.

FW evangelist, 109, makes international impact By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
Federal Way preacher Otis Clark, the world’s oldest traveling evangelist at age 109, has been tapped to lead a revival that could transform Pentecostal Christianity across Africa. The globetrotting bishop was visited earlier this week by the Rev. Mosy U. Madugba, a Nigerian church leader and founder of Global Harvest Missions. Madugba invited Clark to speak at a revival this January in Lagos, Nigeria, in front of 10,000 church leaders from across Africa. It is possible that 1 million or more church adherents will gather to see Clark, Madugba said — and Pentecostalism may never be the same in Africa. “It will kickstart a wave of revival across the continent of Africa,” Madugba said, noting that the heads of Africa’s Pentecostal churches all want to meet Bishop Clark. “I was ready to make any sacrifice to come see him and discuss this with him.” Clark is seen by many as the modern spiritual leader for Pentecostalism. He is also a living witness of the denomination’s roots, which date back to the early 1900s in Los Angeles with the Azusa Street Revival. This revival, led by African American preacher William J. Seymour, is credited as the main catalyst for the Pentecostal movement. Clark converted to Chris-
tianity at age 25 while in a Los Angeles jail for selling bootleg whiskey during the Prohibition era. While in Los Angeles, Clark was heavily involved in the Azusa Street Mission and the first Pentecostal church in America. He was later given power of attorney to the Azusa mission, and worked to keep it open after Seymour died. Clark said he looks forward to the Africa revival this January, which will take place shortly before his 110th birthday. “I just want to wait and see how it works out,” Clark said of the revival’s potential impact. “I am blessed to see young folks taking over (Pentecostalism).” Nearly 11 percent of Africa’s population of more than 1 billion identifies as Pentecostal, according to a report by Glopent, a research firm on global Pentecostalism. The Hartford Institute for Religious Research estimates a worldwide Pentecostal following of 500 million.

Otis Clark was born Feb. 13, 1903, in pre-statehood Oklahoma. He left Oklahoma after enduring the 1921 race riot in Tulsa, considered the worst race riot in U.S. history.

For several years and counting, Clark crisscrosses the nation and world with his daughter, Dr. Gwyneth Williams, and granddaughter, the Rev. Star Williams. Upcoming trips include London in May, Ottawa in August, Dallas in September and Russia in the autumn. They recently finished stints in Texas, New York and New Jersey. Clark and family also preach around the Puget Sound region and ordain local pastors. It’s no surprise that Clark’s faith plays a key role in his longevity.

Wrap up: Playoff berths up for grabs Sounders By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Matt Bower has been virtually unhittable all season long. But the Beamer senior was literally unhittable Friday afternoon during a 5-0 Titan win over the Curtis Vikings in South Puget Sound League South Division baseball action. The 6-foot-5 University of Washingtonbound left hander didn’t allow a hit during the win, Matt Bower while striking out 15 and walking only one. Beamer sits 9-6 in the SPSL South and 11-6 overall. “He had a great game,” said head coach Jerry Peterson. “He has been lights out.” Lights out to say the least. On the season, Bower has a minuscule 0.56 earned-run average and has given up just three earned runs in 37 1/3 innings. To further illustrate Bower’s dominance, all you have to do is look at his last three starts, all complete-game victories. Along with the Curtis nohitter, Bower also beat GrahamKapowsin, 6-0, on April 12 and Emerald Ridge Wednesday, 10-2. He gave up just four hits in both starts. Despite the ultra-impressive stats, Bower is only 4-2 on the year. Bower lost to Curtis on March 30, 5-1, after giving up [ more wrap up page 16 ]

The newly-developed Sounders FC U-23 soccer club will have a big-time Federal Way feel during their inaugural season, which kicks off next month. So far, four Federal Way school district graduates will suit up for the under-23 squad, including Beamer’s Sean Ugo Okoli, Darren Sawatzky Brandon Brockway and Troy Peterson, along with Jefferson’s Chase Hanson. The foursome will be coached by TJ graduate and former Raider head coach Darren Sawatzky, who is also the director of youth development for the Major League Soccer (MLS) Sounders. “Coaching the Sounders FC U-23s is an exciting opportunity for me,” said Sawatzky. “It will be great to watch these players grow and compete at this level and chase the dream of playing at the top level. I look forward to getting started.” “Darren grew up in Federal Way and he has strong ties to the local soccer community,” said the team’s co-owner Lane Smith.

Trout beware: Lake fishing opens on Saturday around Washington
[ prep wrap up from page 14 ]
five unearned runs and Rogers shut out the Titans April 5. That is when Bower gave up his only earned run of the season. Bower has already inked his national letter of intent to pitch next season at Washington with head coach Lindsey Meggs. “Matt is a 6-foot-5, left-handed pitcher who has not yet even begun to develop,” said Meggs. “Matt is only going to get better and once he begins to add more size and strength to that 6-5 frame, well the sky is the limit. Matt’s best days are truly ahead of him and if all goes right, he could be a monster before it’s all over.” The Titans’ offense was led by Jarred Prather and Sam Kosbab against Curtis. Both finished 2 for 3 with a pair of RBIs for Beamer. Richie Apigo also finished with a pair of hits and scored two runs. Drew Hoefel also tallied a pair of runs for the Titans.

Time to pull out that over-stuffed tackle box inside the shed and untangle the fishing line on your rod and reel. Saturday marks the opening day of the 2012 lowland lakes season and anglers can expect to reel in trout that are decidedly bigger this year. With opening day approaching, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has released 3 million hatchery-reared trout averaging 11 to 13 inches – three inches longer than the fish that were released last year. Those fish will join millions of other trout that were stocked last year and have grown to catchable size around the state. Many of those lakes have also been stocked with triploid and jumbo trout weighing a pound and a half to 11 pounds apiece. “We have made some changes in our trout hatchery rearing programs in response to the feedback we heard from anglers who really enjoy catching larger fish,” said WDFW Director Phil Anderson. “With these fish, our state’s biggest fishing day of the year just got better.” At least 300,000 anglers typically turn out for the first day of the lowland lakes season, which remains open into the fall. Although many state waters are open year-round, the April opening marks the start of the state’s most popular fishery. To participate, anglers must have a current Washington freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2013. Licenses can be purchased online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov, by telephone at 1-866-246-9453 or at hundreds of license dealers across the state. For details on license vendor locations, visit wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/vendors/. Freshwater fishing licenses cost $27.50 for resident adults 16 to 69

Fifteen-year-olds can buy a license for $8.25, and seniors 70 and older can buy an annual fishing license for $5.50. Children 14 years of age and younger do not need a fishing license. “Our license fees are lower this year for youth, seniors and people with disabilities,” Anderson said. “So, whether you fish from the bank, a pram, or a boat, this fishery is tailor made for a great family outing.” Because of the popularity of trout fishing in Washington, WDFW put a higher priority on its troutrearing program over the past year, said Chris Donley, the department’s Inland Fish Program Manager. “For one thing, we invested in more hatchery feed to grow our fish larger,” he said. “We hope anglers see the increase in the quality of our catchable trout on opening day.” Hatchery crews also spent the past year stocking lakes across the state with more than 10 million fry and fingerlings, which have grown to eight to 12 inches in length. “With all of these fish ready and
waiting in statewide lakes, everyone has an excellent chance of catching some nice fish,” Donley said. “Come on out and join the fun of opening day.” The fishing should be solid at lakes around Federal Way starting Saturday. Steel Lake was stocked with 8,500 rainbow trout eight- to 12-inches long earlier this month, Lake Geneva got 5,500 rainbows, Five Mile Lake got 3,200, Lake Killarney received 3,500 and Lake Fenwick was stocked with 2,000 trout. Other area lakes that will be open Saturday will be North Lake, Lake Holm and Star Lake. Anglers parking at WDFW wateraccess sites are required to display on their vehicle the WDFW Vehicle Access Pass that is provided free with every annual fishing license purchased. The passes are transferable between two vehicles. Anglers who use Washington State Parks or Department of Natural Resource areas need the $30 annual or $10 daily Discover Pass.

Jefferson — The Raiders won a 10-inning nail-biter Monday over the Kentwood Conquerors, 2-1. Jefferson scored early and held onto a 1-0 lead until the bottom of the seventh when Rachel Burr hit the ball between first and second base that drove in the tying run for Kentwood. But, the pitching duel between Conqueror freshman Kendall Goodwin and Raiders hurler Rocky Hale continued, as the Jefferson defense was able to hold Kentwood. The Conks struggled to put down bunts in the bottom of the 10th when international tiebreaker rules come into play — a runner is on second base at the start of the inning — while an errant throw to third base at the top of the 10th pushed the Raiders into the lead. Bailey Rundle’s bunt moved Michaela Patton over to third base for Jefferson. Katie Jackson, who pitched the final inning in relief for Hale and picked up the win in the circle, bunted and was able to reach when a throw to third base went over Bailey Marshall’s head, which allowed Patton to score. Jackson finished 2 for 4 with an RBI and double. While everything came together for Jefferson, it all fell apart for Kentwood, explained Conks head coach Jason Wisor in an email interview. “I think yesterday was the perfect storm of what has been the perfect storm season,” Wisor wrote. “With all the rainouts and in-game cancellations this team has been frustrated that more games have not gotten in. The girls are working hard and getting better, it just so happens that yesterday we could not execute.” He credited Hale and Goodwin for pitching well. Wisor said with nine games left on the schedule, the team will need to focus. “Yesterday both pitchers pitched well and both teams struggled to adjust to the zone established by the umpire,” he said. “Our goal will be to continue to play the best game we can. We need to eliminate the errors and execute in situations when they happen. Our goals are still in reach and we fully intend to accomplish them.” The win moves TJ into third place in the South Puget Sound League North Division standings with an 8-3 record. Tahoma and Kentlake both sit with only one league loss.

Jefferson — The Raiders secured the SPSL Central championship with a pair of wins earlier this week. The wins moved Jefferson to 9-0 in the division, three matches clear of second-place Beamer with one match remaining in the SPSL regular season. The Raiders swept Auburn Riverside Tuesday, 5-0, and downed Auburn Monday, 3-2. Michelle Lee remained unbeaten in singles’ competition this season with a pair of wins. Lee (6-0) beat Riverside’s Carson Heilborn, 6-3, 6-2, and Auburn’s Nacole Schwoch, 6-0, 6-3. Jefferson’s other singles player, Cindy Park, lost her first match of the season Monday to Auburn’s Lauren Thornquist. The Raiders’ top doubles team of Breanna Ziccarelli and Krista Nakamura moved to 6-1 on the year with wins in the two matches, including a three-setter against Auburn.
