City approves Hylebos preservation deal By Greg Allmain gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council unanimously approved the continuation of the Hylebos Basin Conservation Property Acquisi-

tion Program, and to also accept $300,000 in grant funding from King County for the preservation program. Surface Water Management (SWM) division manager Will Appleton gave an extensive presen-

tation to the council at its May 15 meeting, outlining the program’s goals, history and future. The plans to preserve the city’s local watershed were started in 1990, when the city entered into an inter-local agreement with King

County to receive grant funding from the county’s Conservation Futures Levy Fund. In 1992, the first property purchase occurred, when the city bought the 42-acre Spring Valley [ more HYLEBOS, page 14 ]

Scout’s memorial honors fallen soldiers Tyler Stewart (right) of Boy Scout Troop 330 put together a “living war memorial” as part of his Eagle scout project. Stewart planted three oak trees at Saghalie Middle School park to honor the three soldiers from Federal Way who died in combat in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The dedication ceremony was held on Saturday, May 12. Those honored were: Army Specialist Dennis M. Williams, Army Private First Class Erin L. McLyman, and Army Sergeant Brandon S. Hocking. The families of the fallen were on hand for Stewart’s dedication, along with Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest. See more photos at federalwaymirror.com. GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror

Congestion fee begins for car tab renewals King County Metro offers free bus rides By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

As part of the battle over keeping King County Metro service at current levels,

the King County Council decided last summer that a $20 “congestion reduction charge” fee be applied to King County residents to help fund the county’s regional public bus system. According to the county, residents will begin seeing the fee with June car tab

renewals. The fee will be applied through May 2014. “This Congestion Reduction Charge will allow us to maintain our overall system over the next two years and make the best use of every transit dollar available,” said Metro general manager Kevin Desmond.

The fee came up as a solution for Metro as it faced severe reductions in service due to an anticipated budget shortfall of $60 million, even after a couple of years of attempting to trim the fat in its operations. According to the county, if the fee had not been enacted, 9 million

rides would have been lost and would have added an estimated 15,000 commuters onto local roadways. The fee is expected to generate about $50 million over its two-year lifespan, with the remaining $10 million to be funded from various [ more FEES, page 14 ]

WA students improve science scores, exceed national average By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

For the second consecutive year, Washington eighth-graders improved

their scores, and scored higher than the national average, for the science portion of the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP).

The NAEP also measures students’ abilities in reading and math — areas in which Washington state students also scored higher than the national average for NAEP

scores. According to the Washington State Office of the Superintendent (OSPI), one group that has shown remarkable improvement

over the past couple of years are Hispanic students who scored in either the 75th or 90th percentile. In 2009, Hispanic student’s average score at the 75th percentile was 154, and 169 at the 90th percentile. In 2011, those average scores jumped to 162 and 179, respectively. “Our kids are eager to learn about science,” said state Superintendent Randy Dorn, referencing a 2011 survey that showed that

two-thirds of Washington students indicated they like the sciences. “We need to maintain that interest and build momentum by providing opportunities to take their science learning to the next level.” According to OSPI, other groups that showed improvement in science scores included those that qualify for reduced or free lunch, students with disabilities, and students who are English language learners.

That’s simply wrong.” Over 200 people attended the ceremony, including prosecutors, judges, law enforcement officials and others, according to Eide’s office. Eide, who serves as the vice-chair for the Senate Transportation Committee, has been working on improving Washington’s driving laws since 1999, when a Federal Way constituent expressed their concerns to her over people driving and talking on cell phones. Since then, she’s worked to hold both distracted and drunk drivers accountable. HB 2216 was signed into law on March 30, and will take effect on June 7.

Bally’s closure still stings for local tennis community It’s been almost six months since the Bally’s facility closed in Federal Way. When it did, the closure shut down an active and vibrant tennis community, causing former players to disperse to locations away from the city or give up the game altogether. It’s hard to drive past the old location and see an empty parking lot without feeling a pang of

Gay marriage: Divider or uniter? For Democrats, one of the shining moments of this year’s legislative session was the passage of a law approving same-sex marriage. For some Republicans, the same moment was seen as one of the Legislature’s deepest failures. The approval immediately triggered an initiative to try and force a public vote on the measure this fall. So far, the opposing group has collected 70,000 signatures, about half of what they need, and it seems likely to make the ballot. Why do legislators care one way or another who marries who, and what does it actually have to do with governing? Taxes, education, public safety, land use, roads, mass transit — sure. But marriage? The answer, as you might expect, has far more to do with politics and elections than it does the art of managing our state government. While some legislators from each perspective care deeply about whether gays should or should not have the legal right to marry, more care because the people who elect them care. Democrats tend to view same-sex marriage as an equality issue and a personal matter between two people. They ask, why should the government stand in the way of allowing two people to marry if they want? We don’t tell heterosexual people who they can marry? Although some parents like that concept. Many Republicans view the matter more in terms of religion and moral values, and believe that marriage should be only between a man and a woman. This year, the Republicans have been the party with the higher energy level, and their conservative wing has been pushing their

candidates farther to the right on many “values” issues including same-sex marriage. They have somewhat reluctantly embraced Mitt Romney as their presidential standard bearer, but many fear he isn’t conservative enough. As a political matter, Romney would much rather talk about the economy because that is the issue he feels President Obama is most vulnerable on. Some politically savvy Republicans fear that highlighting same-sex marriage, along with abortion and women’s issues, may actually help galvanize Democrats. They may be right. Democrats have not had the same fire as they did in 2008. Some of their constituent groups have not been as active, particularly young people. While they might have liked the passage of the gay marriage act to just become law and be done with it, they knew that was not going to happen. They now actually see the debate as having the potential to bring back the passion and energy to the election cycle that has been lacking. While placing the issue on the ballot may bring out more conservative Republicans, they were probably going to vote anyway, as the Republican “get out the vote” effort will be high. It is the Democratic voter turnout that has been questioned. Gays tend to be liberal to moderate politically, and generally support Democrats, as do many minority groups such as blacks and Latinos. Republicans recognize that many blacks are conservative on the same-sex marriage issue and most Latinos are Catholic. The Catholic church is actively opposed to gay marriage.

Last week when I learned of the late Mirror columnist Walter Backstrom’s passing, I was speechless, to say the least. How could that be, I questioned myself over and over. My preoccupation with that ordeal ties in nicely with the scores of questions I have been asking myself over the past two months. One being: When do laws and ethics take dominion over common sense and kindness? Every profession has a built-in proviso regarding law and ethics. The police officer has the power to give a ticket for jaywalking or issue a warning. The same doctor that pledged the Hippocratic Oath at graduation will someday act counter to those words. Magistrates, too, have certain allegiances that follow the canons of the court, but should there be a need for kindness, some will slant their rulings for charity’s sake. So, in a nutshell, are all of us hypocrites at one time or another, saying one thing now and doing the opposite later? Far from advocating breaking our statutes, I have found that in certain situations, benevolence and common sense have the power to wipe our slates clean of laws and reasons. I watched in consternation once as fruit packers at a neighborhood supermarket dumped boxes of bananas because company policies forbade them to sell blemished fruits. Suppose a homeless and famished Backstrom had needed two of those bananas before they were dumped. Would they be given to him? Prior to becoming homeless, did Backstrom make a few telephone calls to a friend or two in a last-ditch effort to stave off eviction or foreclosure? As I get older, I am becoming far less judgmental, learning to talk less and listen/observe more. Statements like “I will never do that” are no longer part of my vocabulary because I just don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Will that distinguished professor ever pardon herself for giving up her virginity at 15 for a burger and a milkshake that Friday evening in 1972 after not eating for three days? How is the couple that once owned 22 luxury investment homes in the South feel now when they had to move into a one-room place two years ago, later dissolving their marriage? Catch me five years ago and I would wax heartily like Descartes, Hobbes, Locke and Socrates, explaining why a situation is this way or that. Time, I’ve found, is the greatest teacher. Until you have walked in somebody’s shoes, quite honestly, there’s no way you can judge that person. Why do we dodge away from the unkempt [ more PALMER page 5 ]

nostalgia. I miss the friends with whom I spent many happy hours since the late 70s and, at my age, it was satisfying to know I could still play the game, if at a slower pace. It would be wonderful if a mythical Daddy Warbucks or his equivalent would show up and reclaim the Bally’s facility and its tennis courts but sadly, there is no evidence that will happen any time soon. Tennis courts and the many

activities they foster are essential components of a city such as Federal Way. People came from all around to play and compete at Bally’s. Bally’s hosted many tournaments. High school and community college players came there to practice. Countless times I saw our youngsters receive lessons by the professionals and watched them improve as they got older and became competitive. Now, just like the cars in the parking

lot, all of that is gone. I wonder if we realize how much we’ve lost. It is my hope that someone or group with the proper resources will sense opportunity and bring tennis back to Federal Way. Bally’s was not just a building, it was one of our more distinctive institutions and one we could point to with pride. A reinvigorated Bally’s would be a great asset in our community.

Community comes together on a busy day in Federal Way Each year the Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club will have an opening day parade through the neighborhood and to the pool. This year, the parade was Saturday, May 12 (which was a very busy day in Federal Way). I am humbled and awed at how amazing this community’s elected officials, local businesses and [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

[ LETTERS from page 4] community groups are. We had four elected officials make time in their very busy schedules to make sure the neighborhood and children of Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club were made to feel as special as possible. We also have our local car dealership (Jet Chevrolet) donate the use of convertibles for them to ride in. Beyond that, we had the participation of South King County Fire and Rescue, Prudential Realty, Brooklake Community Church’s Motorsports group and several local neighbors with classic cars. This made for an amazing treat for the neighborhood. In this day and age, it is something like this that gives each person a true sense of community and a “small town” feeling in a larger city. I am grateful to each and everyone that was there to show our children how important community is. Without these sacrifices of time, children will never have the opportunity to learn this. The community effort made this an amazing start to the 49th summer season at Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club. I can’t wait to see what 50 will bring.

Backstrom told it like it was in his columns What I know about Walter Backstrom came through in what he wrote in the Federal Way Mirror. I never had the pleasure of meeting him face-toface before he died under humble circumstances at the Union Gospel Mission. I thought I would like meeting him and telling him how right on I thought his views were. At this juncture in our

culture where issues concerning race should have been wiped out by now but continue to present themselves for political, economic and personal advantage, Walter must have felt like a lone salmon swimming against the rapids. He had the guts to put his views in writing, while some of us read them and secretly agreed. Political correctness was not an obstacle for Walter’s pen. Mr. Backstrom told it like it was and is, like Bill Cosby tells it, like Walter Williams tells it, like Thomas Sowell tells it, and like Martin Luther King told it. He is among an elite group of truth tellers. Many a prophet died pauper’s deaths.

Matt Sato, Federal Way

Backstrom still owed me $20 Thanks for your thoughtful piece on Walter Backstrom. I had no idea he passed. I remember fondly the debate style conversations Walter often engaged me in. I think I enjoyed my disagreement with him on many issues more than he enjoyed our occasional consensus. I will miss his spark in our libraries. Fittingly, he died owing me twenty bucks. You win that round, Walter!

FW school zone cameras are cash cows A increasing number of people are complaining about the 20 mph school zone robotic cameras located on 320th at Twin Lakes Elementary and other locations. I noted Matt Sato’s continued saga (letters, May 17) on a third ticket at this location. Several people continue to write about similar tickets. It truly mirrors the

May 18, 2012 [5]

www.federalwaymirror.com shame of a “cash cow” [ ROEGNER from page 4]

caused by flashing 20 mph in school zones. The flashing light hours appear to vary and some people get mailed tickets even when the lights are not flashing. By the way, has anyone noted children crossing 320th? Everyone should be aware and obey signals to slow down in school zones. Robotic camera tickets are another creative process to accomplish this. Infraction photos are analyzed in Arizona and finalized by the Federal Way Police. The tickets are mailed out ranging in cost on the average of $200 to $400. This is dependent on how fast the violation speed was in the flashing light school zone. The violation amount is paid directly to the Arizona American Lighting Control company. American takes roughly 30 to 40 percent for maintenance of the lights. The City of Federal Way coffers get the balance. Annually, this adds up to a tidy million or two. An outsider of local government might think that there might be a better way to end this process? Okay, give this some thought. Why not hire more retired and at-home moms? Take for example the two people on Hoyt Road controlling traffic. They put traffic cones in the street and make certain the children get safely where they are going. This same situation happens on 348th just north of 22nd and Fred Meyer. The kids are escorted safely across the street at the flashing pedestrian zone. The process seems to work well. Unfortunately, the city traffic brains have studied this and continue to love those cameras at school zones. One has to wonder, is this procedure really for safety or for profit?

As a strategic matter, Republicans are hoping to wedge those two groups into their camp, while not alienating moderates from their own party or independent voters they are trying to win in November. How that strategy plays out could be significant. There are many moderates in the Republican party who support same-sex marriage. Four Republican Senators voted for the same-sex marriage bill in our state Legislature, and two gay Log Cabin Republicans are running for Congress — one in Arizona and one in Massachusetts. After President Obama went public with his endorsement of same-sex marriage, Romney did not come out guns blazing to oppose him. Neither did House Speaker John Boehner. And locally, Republican candidate for governor Rob McKenna’s opposition to same-sex marriage has been muted for months. Democrats will continue to try and pressure McKenna to make stronger comments, as will the conservatives in his own party. If he does, watch how that affects polling among independents. It may not be good for McKenna. Republican candidates use the issue

[ Palmer from page 4] boys when we refuse to offer them a care package of toothpaste, soap and washcloth? It’s not intentional when a drowning man is trying to pull you under water as you struggle to save him. The man is simply seeking a route of escape. At that time he will grab after a floating straw. Anything will do. The single mother who tenders a check, hoping that it wouldn’t be cashed until she’s paid the next day, should not be judged harshly. Employing law and ethics, she knows that it’s wrong. But survival skills kick in. Paying the overdraft fees, she reckons, is much better than paying a $500 repossession fee for

to fire up the religious and conservative party faithful, but to the general public, they are much more careful because the public mood has been slowly shifting for several years. A Washington Post-ABC poll in March found that 52 percent said gay marriage should be legal while 43 percent said it should be illegal. And if there is one thing politicians listen to, it’s polls. Polls reflect the public mood and its changes, and that affects who gets elected. Same-sex marriage probably won’t be an issue in a generation, and it will be generally supported. But it is still an issue now. The question is, how big of an issue is it? The difference in approach by the candidates is subtle for a reason. Keep the base, court the independents. Will a candidate’s stance on same-sex marriage make a difference in how you cast your ballot for governor? Locally, we have two seats in the state House of Representatives up this year. Will this issue play a role in which candidate you support? And if the issue of same-sex marriage is on the state ballot, as it likely will be, how will you vote?

her only means of transportation. A recent television finding stated that men over 50 like Backstrom die at an alarming rate than women when faced with unemployment, divorce and depression. Not able to afford even basic food or medication, these men consider themselves an utter failure, and have simply lost the will to live. We cannot afford to lose hope. One beautiful acronym for HOPE is: Helping Other People Everyday. We must do our part, one person at a time. While we should strive to maintain a stellar reputation, we must also be prepared to have it besmirched at times for the greater good. There’s no way I would

drive past my neighbor’s wife, saddled with shopping bags, her walking home in pouring rain, if I can assist her with a ride. Who cares what others might think seeing a “strange” woman in my car? People who hid Jews during the Holocaust risked their reputation. Harriet Tubman’s white sympathizers risked theirs, too, to advance the Underground Railroad movement. In the spirit of Walter Backstrom, consider that some people are hurting and desperately need your help. Now! Save judgment for later.

Adderall remains popular ‘study drug’ for students By Rochelle Adams For The Mirror

For years, high school and college students have abused Adderall as an all-night study aid, putting themselves at an increased risk for heart attacks and seizures. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 6.5 percent of high school seniors have misused

Adderall, a brand-name amphetamine salts-based drug prescribed for people diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD and ADD). “I hear about it every year,” said Rodney Ehli, an administrator at LakesideMilam Recovery Center. “Doesn’t matter what school I go to or what school district I’m in, I hear about it every year.”

drugs, Ehli said. Giving away or selling pharmaceutical drugs is a felony. It is also a felony to be in possession of the drugs without a prescription. Drugs like Adderall are now being monitored within the state of Washington. “So when you go get a prescription, it goes in the database,” he said. “And if you’re going to multiple doctors, that won’t work anymore because you can get a certain allotment of pills per person, per month. So they’ve been cracking down on it more than they used to.” In addition to legal consequences, there are also medical consequences to misusing Adderall. For those diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, Adderall helps slow the person’s brain down, Ehli said. But for someone who does not have those disorders, the drug will have the opposite effect. Adderall can cause an increase in heart rate, a lack of sleep and a decrease in appetite, he said. Some who misuse the drug are

at risk of heart attacks, seizures and hallucinations. “Just like any drug, you can take it one time and end up dead,” he said. The drug isn’t just abused by high school or college aged students. “Sometimes at middle schools, I’ve seen kids just give it away,” Ehli said. “They don’t have a whole lot of knowledge about what it is, but there’s a lot of curiosity for some of these kids and they don’t have a problem sticking that pill in their body.” Ehli said parents should become more aware of the issue and lock up their medicine cabinets. “It’s a growing epidemic,” Ehli said. “It’s getting worse. And the parents probably don’t realize that this is going on.” In an effort to prevent drug abuse among students, such as non-medical Adderall use, Federal Way Public Schools attempts to educate students about the risks through health classes, said spokeswoman Diane Turner.

Marriage equality, Christianity and the president support same-sex marriage? Many pastors, formerly in favor if President Obama’s administration, are now stating they “cannot” give the president their support anymore, when in actuality, it’s still their choice. It’s a free country, after all. The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, a predominantly Black Christian church, responded this way: “The question that should be raised is, ‘Should all Americans have the same civil rights?’….The institution of marriage is not under attack because of the president’s words. Marriage was under attack years ago when men viewed women as property and children as trophies of their sexual prowess. Marriage is under attack by low wages, high incarceration, and lack of education. Marriage is under attack by clergy who think nothing of stepping outside of the bounds of marriage to sleep with ‘preaching groupies.’” Amen! Current marriage rates are at an all-time Amy Johnson

Sex in the Suburbs

It’s hard to come out. Recent events show that it can be a challenge for even straight allies — straight people who support LGBT rights — to come clean about our support for the LGBT community. I remember years ago, wondering how my peer group of young mothers would react if I became more vocal about my stance regarding homosexuality and other political issues. Obviously, I got over that. When President Obama came out publicly with his statement that people of the same sex ought to be able to get married, a firestorm of responses ensued: everything from “he’s made history” (abcnews.com) to “That position is not appropriate for the president because the Bible is strictly against that.” (reuters.com) One of the biggest political question marks around the the president’s statement is what predominantly black churches will do. Pundits are a-buzz. Will President Obama lose support in the African American Christian community because he chose to publicly

low, without any help from same-sex couples. On top of that, 1.1 million children live in a household where divorce has occurred in the past year, according to The Huffington Post. Straight people appear to have mucked up the institution of marriage just fine on our own, thank you. One president supporting LGBT rights is not the cause of the demise of marriage in our country. Reverend Dr. Moss goes on: “To hold that the President of the United States must hold your theological position is absurd. He is President of the United States…..he is called to protect those who are Jew and Gentile, male and female, young and old, gay and straight.” How quickly we forget. We pontificate about freedom, yet, at most, tolerate anyone who is not Christian — or not Christian like us. Some people send me Scripture and call me names and tell me I’m not a real Christian because of my views. You don’t have to share my views — our constitution guarantees free speech. However, I am not going to change my

beliefs because of yours. My Christianity is my business, and I am also guaranteed religious freedom under our constitution. “Gay people have never been the enemy,” says Reverend Dr. Moss. “Emmett Till and four little girls in Alabama did not die” (in a bombing in a church during the Civil Rights Movement) for a Sunday morning

We live today because of a man who believed in love over doctrine who died on a cross.” I hope you’ll consider joining me and Churches for Marriage Equality in believing in love over doctrine

were shared by Wilson. Sumpter has been in charge of firearms and deadly force training within the police department. He served as an investigations commander, a patrol commander, and currently, he has been selected by the Valley agencies, including the Port of Seattle, to be the commander of the Valley Officer Involved Shooting Team, which will begin providing service on June 1, Wilson said. The story of how Sumpter ended up on “Top Shot” was related by Wilson. The sharpshooting Sumpter saw the show in 2011, and felt

he should give it a try. “I was on the treadmill, and I’m watching ‘Top Shot,’ and I’m watching these exercises they’re doing doing, and he says, ‘Gee, I can do that, and I can do this. Maybe I should do something special for my 50th birthday.’ So he applies,” Wilson said. There were over 3,000 applicants for Season 4 of “Top Shot,” and they narrowed it down to 50. Sumpter was under a confidentiality agreement during the summer of 2011, and various members of the department kept pressing Wilson to reveal where

Sumpter had disappeared to. “There were times, where I was getting pressure from the our department members saying, ‘Hey you’re the chief, figure out where he is!,’” Wilson said with a chuckle. Sumpter’s leadership, which is a well appreciated commodity for FWPD, also shined through on “Top Shot,” something that Wilson was happy to observe. “He has tremendous leadership and integrity in every day he leads our members. And if you watched the show, you would see that leadership

come through,” Wilson said. “And ultimately, the red team winner…his final comments coming out of the show, said he couldn’t have done it without Kyle Sumpter’s leadership.” Sumpter advanced to just short of the goal line on the popular shooting competition show, finishing fifth out of the 18 contestants chosen. His red team protege Chris Cheng, an IT professional who shoots as a hobby, took home the top honors. The Federal Way Mirror reported weekly about Sumpter’s progress on the reality TV show.

In 2000, according to Appleton, the council formally approved the Hylebos program. In that time, the city has purchased three properties in the Hylebos wetlands, spending a total

www.federalwaymirror.com of about $1.2 million. Appleton noted that a significant portion of those expenditures were covered with grant funding from the aforementioned Conservation Futures Levy Fund through the county. As it sits right now, the city has approximately $1.3 million available for purchasing properties still privately owned within the Hylebos wetlands.

While some may worry about eminent domain seizures in this program, Appleton made it clear that’s not the case. “Any of these purchases would have a willing seller and obviously a willing buyer,” Appleton said. The city would like to purchase an additional eight properties scattered throughout the Hylebos, Appleton said, in order

to provide connectivity throughout the area and strengthen the restoration process throughout Federal Way’s natural wonderland. “When we fold this all together and look at the idea behind the conservation property acquisition program, it really is an investment, both in the present and the future. An investment that has some significant benefits,” Apple-

other sources available to Metro. While county residents will notice the additional $20 fee, there will also be an invitation to them for eight free rides on Metro. According to Metro, similar incentive programs in the past have helped increase ridership, and helped reduce congestion on regional roadways. “By providing an incentive that lets people save money by trying the bus, this program will encourage a new wave of bus riders to become everyday users of our system,” Desmond said. The incentive program will apply to households

that register at least one vehicle annually over the next two years. The free-ride tickets are good for use on more than 200 Metro bus routes, which serve 130 park-andride lots, garages, and 13 transit centers. To receive the free-ride tickets, residents must fill out a request form. Residents can also donate their free-ride tickets back to Metro, with those donated tickets going to help underserved populations in the region. The county notes that the free-ride tickets only apply to Metro, and cannot be used on any other regional or local transit systems. To learn more, visit metro.kingcounty.gov.

This occurred several times. At Albertson’s, she was able to purchase $133.50 worth of groceries for only $24.92. This is a savings of $108.58 or 81 percent. “Your paper is invaluable to finding great deals in the stores,” Smith said. “In fact, just yesterday I clipped a coupon from the front page of a past Federal Way (newspaper) for $5 off any purchase at Simply Paws. There was an 8-pound discounted bag of dog food for just $5.” The coupon usage was varied depending on each reader’s submission. Another reader sent in coupons from Macy’s, Winco and Safeway, and a number from Target. The Safeway savings averaged 100 percent, Winco averaged 93 percent, and Target was at 80 percent. The purchased items were equally as varied. Reader submissions had substantial savings on spices, allergy medication, raisins, soda, candy, baking items, health and beauty aids and salad dressing, to name a few. It is important to note that individual transactions weren’t large in nature. An old adage is that it takes money to make money. This is apparently not true when coupon shopping. Smith’s winning average transaction amount was only $23.11. So, what do you think? Is this a program that you would like see occur every month?

Thomas Jefferson High School will host the 2012 Raider Basketball Camp from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. from June 25-28. The camp will focus on team and individual skills with an emphasis on shooting and ball handling. The coaching staff from TJ, led by head coach Kyle Templeton, will run the camp. Campers will receive a T-shirt and basketball. The cost is $100 per camper, or pre-register by June 8 and it’s $80. Make checks payable to Federal Way Public Schools and mail to Kyle Templeton at Jefferson High School, 4248 S. 288th St., Auburn, Wash. 98001 or deliver in-person to TJ. You can register at the door on the first day of the camp. For more information, contact Templeton at (206) 5180503 or email kyle.j.templeton@ gmail.com.

Lake Stevens advances into quarterfinals after outlasting TJ in penalty-kick shootout By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

It’s not the way any coach or player wants to end a game. But the penalty-kick shootout is just a way of life during the soccer postseason in the state of Washington. The Thomas Jefferson Raiders (14-3-2) were on the short end of a shootout Wednesday night in the opening round of the Class 4A State Boys Soccer Tournament at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. After dominating a bulk of the

play during the 80 minutes of regulation play and 10 minutes of overtime, the Raiders were outshot by Lake Stevens, 6-5. Lake Stevens (13-5-1) advances into the quarterfinals with the 2-1 victory and the loss ends an impressive season for fifth-ranked TJ. The Raiders won the South Puget Sound League North Division championship, beat Puyallup for the SPSL title and advanced into the state soccer tournament for the 22nd time in school history. But Jefferson hasn’t advanced past the first-round of state since winning a state-record seventh Class 4A title in 2005. Despite rarely getting the ball over Jefferson’s midfield, Lake Stevens took a 1-0 lead just under 12 minutes into the second half on a goal by Jacob Scott. It was Scott’s

sixth goal of the season. But the Raiders fought back to tie the game at 1-1 with just over five minutes remaining in regulation on a goal from Beau Hepler. The freshman headed in a cross from junior Tyler Hamashima. The goal was Hepler’s second of the season and both have come in the postseason. Hepler tallied the game-winner during a 2-0 win over Kentridge at the West Central/Southwest District Tournament on Saturday. But after two five-minute overtime sessions, the game was forced into the penalty-kick shootout. After the two teams went back and forth, the Raiders missed their sixth-round attempt to give Lake Stevens the 6-5 advantage . The Raiders qualified for their [ more soccer page 22 ]

As a sophomore, nobody was going to confuse Matt Bower and Randy Johnson. Let’s just say Bower, a lanky senior left-hander for the state tournamentbound Todd Beamer Titan baseball team, wasn’t exactly making his catcher put any extra padding in his glove back then. “I remember we Matt Bower were playing a game at Rogers when Matt was a sophomore and he was maybe throwing 65 mph,” longtime Beamer pitching coach Justin Mentink said with a smile. “And I might be stretching it at 65.” Fast forward two years and the 6-foot-5 Bower has developed into one of the most dominant pitchers in Washington and was a huge part in allowing Beamer to qualify for its first-ever Class 4A State Baseball Tournament. The Titans open the 16team tournament against Jackson at 10 a.m. at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma on Saturday. Bower will start on the mound for the Titans, according to head coach Jerry Peterson. Bower is 5-2 on the season with a [ more bower page 21 ]

Softball: TJ continues run, wins 15th-straight game, SPSL title By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The goal of any team is to be playing their best at the end of the season, when the games count a little bit more. The Jefferson Raiders softball team is doing exactly that. The Raiders (20-3) won their 15th straight game Friday evening and with it, the coveted South Puget Sound League championship. Seventh-ranked Jefferson beat Emerald Ridge, 5-2, in the title game at the Kent Service Ballfields. Emerald Ridge won the SPSL South regular season championship, while the Raiders finished third to Kentlake in the SPSL North. Jefferson, however, did get its revenge on Kentlake during the semifinals in Kent. The Raiders got the best of the Falcons, 12-6. Kentlake handed Jefferson two of its three losses during the regular season. The SPSL title gives TJ the SPSL’s top seed into the West Central/Southwest District Tournament, which runs today and Saturday at the Sprinker Recreation Center in Spanaway. The Raiders will open play at noon against the winner of a play-in game between Puyallup (SPSL No. 10) and Union (Greater St. Helen’s League No. 3). The top-eight finishers at the 16-team district tournament advance to the state tournament, which will be held in Spokane. Against Emerald Ridge (163), the Raiders trailed 1-0 be-

fore tallying four runs in the third inning. Emerald Ridge just couldn’t get anything going offensively against TJ senior starter Katie Jackson. The right-hander allowed just six hits and struck out six in seven innings of work. Offensively, the Raiders got a pair of hits and two RBIs from Lexi Goranson and Bailey Rundle. Michaela Patton finished 1 for 2 with an RBI and Alyssa Keyes was 2 for 3. Jefferson’s offense was even more potent during the 12-6 semifinal win over Kentlake. The Raiders’ pounded out 17 hits and tallied six runs in the top of the fifth inning to overcome a 6-3 Kentlake lead. Patton had another huge game for TJ. The Raiders’ shortstop finished 3 for 4 with four RBIs and scored four runs. Annalise Campbell ended up 4 for 5 with three runs and Keyes finished 3 for 3 with a double. Jackson got the win on the mound. The Raiders rolled into the semifinals with a pair of wins earlier at the SPSL Tournament. Jefferson cruised past Beamer 10-0 in the opening round at the Kent Service on a five-inning no-hitter by Jackson and a 9-8 win over Kentridge in the quarterfinals. Against Beamer, Patton led the TJ offense again, finishing 4 for 4 with three RBIs and a double. Rundle had a pair of doubles and Reno Whitcomb and Keyes both had three hits each. The Kentridge win was

Rails to Sails

a little tougher Thursday evening. Jefferson jumped out to an 8-2 lead before the Chargers made it interesting with four runs in the top of the seventh. Campbell and Patton both had a pair of hits and Jackson earned the win on the mound. The SPSL softball title continues an ultra-impressive spring sports season at Jefferson. The Raiders also won league championships in girls tennis, girls track and boys soccer during the spring. The only sports in which TJ didn’t win a championship during the spring are baseball and boys track.

Beamer

The Titans finished 1-2 at the SPSL Tournament to earn the league’s eighth seed into the West Central/Southwest District Tournament. After being no-hit by TJ in the opening round Thursday, Beamer downed Puyallup, 11-3, before losing to Tahoma, 11-9, on Friday in a seeding game. Morgan Jewett-Chan finished 3 for 5 with three RBIs and a double and Analee Scott was 2 for 2 with three stolen bases against Puyallup. Madison Rogers got the win on the mound and was also 3 for 3 at the plate. The Titans will open the district tournament at 10 a.m. at the Sprinker Recreation Center against Emerald Ridge, the second seed from the SPSL, Friday morning.

minuscule 0.57 earned-run average and throwing in the high-80s with a nasty curveball. In his 49 1/3 innings pitched during the 2012 season, Bower has given up just 27 hits, struck out 69 hitters and walked just 17. He has thrown four complete games, including a seven-inning no-hitter with 15 strikeouts during a 6-0 win over Curtis on April 20. In his last four starts, which have all come during Beamer’s push toward state, Bower was 4-0 with four complete games and only allowed two earned runs, which both came in a 10-2 over Emerald Ridge. “He keeps us in games,” Peterson said. “When we can get him a lead, it really changes the complexion of the game. Matt always gets us off to a good start, but getting an early lead is really important for us.” “Everything has just come together for us,” Bower said. “The team has been hitting since midway through the season. We really didn’t hit at the start and didn’t know how to play together as a team.” Everything has come together for Bower as well. After signing a national letter of intent in a public ceremony at Beamer to play next year at the University of Washington, the Huskies dropped Bower’s scholarship offer for an undisclosed reason. That’s where Mentink entered the recruiting picture. After Washington dropped Bower, Mentink contacted Washington State head coach Donnie Marbut. Mentink, a Decatur grad, played baseball for the Cougars in the 1990s and was a former roommate of Marbut. “Things changed and I’m going to Wazzu now,” Bower said. “It just didn’t work out at Washington.” In a very quick recruitment, Marbut called Bower on a Wednesday and that weekend he took a visit to the Pullman campus and fell in love with the school and program. “I really like the town,” Bower said. “It’s a nice area that is kind of secluded. It’s a place where I can push myself.”

MAY EVEnts

May 18, 2012 [21] Marbut has recruited several players from Federal Way over the years, including former Beamer players Matt Hart and Carsten Bocchi. The current roster includes Federal Way’s Nick Tanielu and Jefferson grad Mitch McQueen. The Cougars are currently 24-24 on the season and 9-15 in the rugged Pac12 Conference. “I don’t think that he’s sniffed his ceiling,” Mentink said. “He is just going to get better.” To illustrate the improvement just in the last year, all you have to do is look at Bower’s stats from his junior season at Beamer. The left-hander finished just 4-4 with a 3.90 ERA last year, striking out 46. Bower was a second-team, All-SPSL South Division selection. “I have just matured a lot this year,” Bower said. “This year, I kind of started getting in the weight room a little bit.” The rest of the Beamer team has also matured during the 2012 season. The Titans went through a stretch during the middle of the year where they lost four of five SPSL South games and seemed destined to underachieve. But after a 13-1 blowout at the hands of Puyallup, Beamer won eight of nine to qualify for the state tournament. “Our goal was to get to state and just to play hard,” Bower said. “But overall, our goal is to win state. If everyone plays hard and we keep coming together, we can do it.” The difference during the end-ofseason run was the Titans’ offense, which was pretty stagnant early in the year. The Titans’ offense has been led by Richie Apigo, Lawyer Braun and Sam Kosbab all season. The trio are the only Beamer players hitting over .300 with double-digit RBIs on the season. Braun is hitting .385 with 10 RBIs and has 10 runs, four doubles and three triples. Apigo is hitting .380 with 13 runs, 10 RBIs and a triple and Kosbab is leading the Titans’ with a .393 average with 14 RBIs, six doubles and a home run. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Peterson said.

Tennis: Stewart, Rosa, two teams go to state By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

As expected, Federal Way High School sophomore Mitch Stewart will play at the 2012 Class 4A State Tennis Tournament. Stewart rolled into the semifinals of the West Central/ Southwest District Tournament with a pair of easy wins at Game Farm Park in Auburn on Saturday. Stewart will take on Union’s Alex Wallace at 10 a.m. at Auburn Riverside High School on Saturday. Stewart, who finished as the runner-up in the singles’ competition as a freshman last year, shut out Union’s Tanner Blake in the opening round, 6-0, 6-0. Stewart then earned the automatic berth into the state tournament with a 6-1, 6-0, win over Gig Harbor’s Ryan Anderson in the quarterfinals. Stewart will be joined at state by Jefferson senior Kainoa Rosa, who will play in the other semifinal at 10 a.m. Saturday against Skyview’s Kent Andreason. Rosa has placed at the last two state tournaments on a doubles team with his older Brother, Makoa. Rosa beat TJ teammate Vivek Ramanujan in his district opener, 6-0, 6-1, and dominated the top seed from the Narrows League, South Kitsap’s Dakota Giddings, in the quarterfinals, 6-0, 6-3. On the doubles’ side, the TJ pair of Alex Lee and James Lee were ousted in two-straight

matches after finishing second at the South Puget Sound League Tournament in the fall. Another TJ pair, Russell Stelzer and Zack Martin, also lost their first two matches. In girls’ action, two doubles teams also advanced into the semifinals at the West Central/ Southwest District Tournament last weekend and onto state. Federal Way’s Lauren Lang and Mina Park and Beamer’s Jenny Hoefel and Kiele Bowman both won a pair of marathon matches to qualify for the state tournament, which will be held in the Tri-Cities over Memorial Day Weekend. Lang and Park beat a pair from Union in their opener, 6-1, 6-1, before winning a three-setter over Bellarmine Prep’s Ashley Yates and Meesha Sundarum, 6-7 (8), 7-6 (7), 6-4. Lang and Park will take on SPSL champs Tess Manthou and Maddie Belmondo at 11:30 a.m. at Auburn Riverside Saturday in the district semifinals. Hoefel and Bowman also had a long road into the semifinals. The sixth seed from the SPSL beat a Kentwood team in the opening round, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-2, before needed another three sets to beat Kentridge’s Katie Ly and Karissa Lau in the quarterfinals, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. Hoefel and Bowman will play Kentridge’s Katelyn Overland and Kyana Esber in the 11:30 a.m. semifinal Saturday in Auburn.

Beamer lost a heart-breaker to the Tahoma Bears in the district semifinal in extra innings, 8-7, at Heidelberg Park before beating Puyallup, 7-2, in the third/fourth game later in the day. The Titans will take on the Jackson Timberwolves (15-9) at 10 a.m. in the regional round of the Class 4A State Tournament at Tacoma’s Heidelberg Park Satur-

day morning. The Timberwolves beat Ballard, 10-3, in a playoff game between the No. 3 seeds out of the Wesco and KingCo leagues. Jackson lost in the state title game a season ago. “Jackson is a very good team,” Beamer head coach Jerry Peterson said. “I saw them play Ballard and was impressed.” Aside from Jackson, the other two teams in the Titans’ regional are very familiar. Rogers will take on Tahoma in the other loserout game at Heidelberg. The two winners will play at 1 p.m. with the regional championship between the two winners immediately following at 4 p.m. Beamer has played both Rogers and Tahoma twice this season, splitting with both teams. Rogers (15-9) finished right behind Beamer in third place

Decatur

The improbable postseason ride came to an end for the Decatur Gators (6-18) Saturday with a 12-4 loss to the Peninsula Seahawks in a winner-to-state, loser-out game at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma. The Gators led 2-1 before the Peninsula scored eight in the fourth. It was Peninsula’s fourth win over Decatur this season. Offensively, the Gators were led by first baseman Jim Sullivan. The 6-foot-3 junior finished 1 for 1 with a solo home run. Mitchell Ciotta was 2 for 2 with an RBI.
