Education, jobs, taxes and health care dominated a public forum that featured Federal Way area candidates for state Legislature. The forum, sponsored by The Mirror and Federal Way Chamber, was held Tuesday at Federal Way High School’s little theater. Eight total candidates are vying for District 30’s two seats in the state House of Representatives. The top two finishers for each position in the Aug. 7 primary election will advance to the general election in November. Voters in King County should receive their ballots by mid-July for the vote-by-mail election.

First-degree murder charges have been filed against a 29-yearold Federal Way man in the grisly death of his girlfriend. Kenneth “Kenny” Mace is accused of stabbing 20-year-old Melinda “Mindy” O’Meara more than 100 times on July 6 at the Camelot Square Mobile Home Park on South 288th Street.

UPDATE
The recent arrest of two alleged serial burglars in Federal Way has led to a dramatic drop in burglaries in the city, as highlighted by Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson’s report to the city council on July 3. One of the alleged serial burglars, Amanda W. Macklin, was put away with the help of watchful resident Carla Ackley, who noted Macklin’s presence in her neighborhood one day back in March. Ackley found Macklin’s behavior to be so suspicious that she even posted photos of the alleged burglar at her blog, www.federalwaywa.blogspot. com. Those photos ultimately helped put Macklin behind bars, according to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock. Ackley contacted police on March 23, 2012, about suspicious circumstances at her neighbor’s house, leading to the identification of two burglary suspects that were wanted on burglary warrants out of Spokane, Schrock said. One of the two women that Ackley identified back in March was the woman Chief Wilson referred to. After being arrested on the Spokane warrants, one of the suspects returned to the South King County area and continued to commit several burglaries a day, Schrock said. [ more BURGLAR, p. 21 ]

Man charged in fatal shootout at bar By CASEY OLSON colson@federalwaymirror.com
A 21-year-old Renton man was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder and first-degree assault after a shootout left one man dead at a Federal Way bar. Kenneth M. Sutton Jr. is accused of killing Kent resident Cloise Young, 23, at Johnny’s Famous Bar and Grill in a June 27 gunfight that left six others shot. Sutton is being held in jail without bail. Most of the victims were bystanders who were not involved in any confrontation during the chaotic scene. Each charge against Sutton includes a firearm sentencing enhancement. If convicted as charged, the sentence range is 30 to 40 years in prison, according to the King County Prosecutor. Arraignment is will be July 23 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.
Details revealed More details about the shooting were revealed Tuesday by the King County Prosecutor’s Office. According to the documents, Sutton allegedly instigated an argument by claiming gang affiliation
and yelling about being “Rolling 90s.” “A good majority of the individuals, including the suspect and victim, have prior gang histories and current gang affiliation,” Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson said last week, noting that other people present at the shooting had gang affiliations. According to one witness, before Sutton began shooting, Young showed a holstered gun to Sutton after the bar closed at 2 a.m. and told him that he doesn’t “bang.” Young had a concealed weapons permit and appeared to be lawfully armed, according to police. “We don’t believe the victim fired his weapon,” Wilson said last week. “We believe someone else fired his weapon.” When police arrived, Young was found with an empty gun holster attached to his pants, but no firearm was recovered from the scene, documents said. A witness claimed to have seen a Mexican male standing over Young after he was shot, trying to remove his watch and going through his pockets. When confronted, the man said that he was Young’s “partner”
and was just trying to get all his stuff, documents said. The witness stated that the man did not know Young. Federal Way detectives processed the scene and collected numerous items including five .45-caliber cartridge cases and 21 .40-caliber cases. The .45 casings were grouped around Young’s body, while the .40 casings were found all along the sidewalk area, stretching near the victim to about 130 feet to the east. Following the shooting, Sutton fled the scene, according to documents. He and another individual showed up at the Valley Medical Center in Renton seeking treatment for wounds three hours later. That’s where Sutton was arrested and booked into King County Jail for investigation of homicide. Federal Way detectives responded to the Valley Medical Center around 5 a.m. June 27 after Sutton and another 21-year-old male told staff that they had been shot in Federal Way at a bar. Sutton was shot in his right arm. When contacted by Federal Way police, Sutton was verbally abusive and uncooperative, and pulled the
bed covers over his head when an officer attempted to take his photograph. When transported from Renton to Federal Way for processing, Sutton continued to be abusive and began kicking the door of the police vehicle. After arriving in Federal Way, police observed Sutton masturbating in the holding cell while awaiting transport to the King County Jail, documents said. Sutton has five prior felony convictions, including unlawful possession of a firearm (2008, 2010), promoting prostitution (2010), violation of the Uniform Controlled Substance Act (2007) and possession of stolen property (2005). He had convictions for assault against members of his family and a police officer. Two of Sutton’s sisters had no-contact orders against him, stemming from criminal charges. He has misdemeanor convictions and pending charges for resisting arrest and obstructing a public servant. Johnny’s Famous Bar and Grill has been under its current ownership since 2006. Since that time, there have been few issues with the business, Wilson said. He said in recent months, there’s been an uptick in trouble at the bar. Officers assigned to patrol duty in the area have noted that people congregate in the parking lot and consume alcohol before heading into the bar. Police plan to review other bars and clubs in the city that may attract rowdier crowds, in order to deter the over-serving of liquor and other issues.

Driver in fatal crash Triangle Project: Flyover ramps on Interstate 5 open early in Federal Way faces tougher laws colson@federalwaymirror.com
Construction on the $112.5 million Triangle Project is moving along at a swift pace and ahead of schedule. Construction will be completed six months early and ready for the summer commuting season, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. The Triangle Project refers to the interchange in Federal Way where Highway 161 (Enchanted Parkway), Highway 18 and Interstate 5 all meet. The interchange has long held a reputation for being dangerous for drivers. Federal Way and King County officials have been working to fund the project for more than a decade. The WSDOT will host a ribboncutting ceremony Monday morning for the new flyover ramps on the project, which had an original completion date of April 2013. Mowat Construction broke ground on the project in August 2010, and completed 26 concrete columns that will support the flyovers on the
project. The Triangle Project is in the first of two phases. The opening phase eliminated the cloverleaf loop ramps and replaced them with the flyover ramps for westbound Highway 18 to southbound I-5 and eastbound Highway 18 to northbound I-5. Direct access will be provided to Highway 161 from southbound I-5 and westbound Highway 18 through the construction of new exit ramps at South 356th Street and South 359th Street in Federal Way. According to WSDOT, when the I-5/Highway 18 interchange opened to traffic in the early 1960s, its cloverleaf design was state of the art in freeway design. But the light traffic volumes during that time concealed the major flaw of the cloverleaf interchange: the weaving that occurs when traffic merges on and off the freeway. Weaving causes congestion and increases the potential for collisions. In the past five years, 604 accidents have occurred on Highway 18 near the I-5 interchange, said Paula Hammond, WSDOT secretary.

During the 1960s, the two major thoroughfares each carried less than a quarter of the traffic they do now, according to WSDOT. The existing loop ramps are substandard and are high-accident locations. The recent improvements will improve traffic flow and safety at this increasingly congested interchange. The project will modify the I-5/ Highway 18 interchange to eliminate weaving vehicle movements. The project is expected to improve existing and future traffic flow; reduce the number and severity of accidents in the vicinity of I-5, Highway 161 and Highway 18; and avoid or reduce the effects on the environment. Crews also will build a new weighin-motion station so truck drivers have the option of bypassing the weigh station on southbound I-5 in Federal Way. Approximately 3,600 freight trucks — many coming to or departing from Federal Way — use Highway 18 to access Interstate 5 daily, according to WSDOT. The flyover ramps will cut down on the time it takes freight haulers to complete their runs.

suffered minor injuries. The collision occurred on the first day that a pair of Washington state laws went into effect. The laws enact a tougher sentencing range for cases involving drunkdriving fatalities. The first law raised the prison sentence for the crime of vehicular homicide. The second law added a 12-month sentencing enhancement for having a child under age 16 in the vehicle at the time she caused the collision. Dittamore would be the first person in the state charged under the new sentencing grid, which increases a vehicular homicide (DUI) sentence from 31-41 months to 78-102 months, the same as first degree manslaughter, which is defined under state law as a reckless act that kills. She could also face the 12-month sentencing enhancement of 12 months, passed in the 2012 Legislature, for having her child in the vehicle. “The new law puts homicide by impaired driving in line with other acts constituting manslaughter,” said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg, who lobbied for the tougher sentence range and enhancement in the 2012 legislative session.

A 31-year-old woman pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide Monday for allegedly causing a head-on collision that killed 48-yearold Jana Lynn Berry last month in Federal Way. Michelle Dittamore’s case setting hearing is July 23 at the King County Courthouse. She remains in jail on $250,000 bail. The collision occurred about 11 p.m. June 7 in the 37000 block of Pacific Highway South. Police said Dittamore’s Honda S2000 was heading northbound on Pacific Highway with its lights off. The vehicle crossed the center line and struck the victim’s Honda Civic headon, causing the Civic to go airborne. The Civic landed sideways and was struck by a third driver. Dittamore’s car struck a second car, injuring the driver, according to county prosecutors. Police reported that she was intoxicated at the scene. According to police, Dittamore had no prior DUI convictions, although she was driving with a suspended license. She also had her 4-year-old son in the car with her at the time of the accident. The child suffered minor injuries. The third driver, an adult male,

Lawsuit claims hotel manager bullied women By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
A federal harassment lawsuit resulted in a settlement for employees at Best Western hotels in Federal Way and Tacoma. The general manager for both hotels is accused of threatening and degrading female minorities about religion, abortions, race and sex. He is also accused of illegally firing five women over their pregnancies. Two hotel ownership groups, Pacific Hospitality and Seasons Hotel, will pay $365,000 and provide preventative measures, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The commission enforces federal laws against employment discrimination. The general manager worked at the Best Western Evergreen Inn and Suites in Federal Way, and the Best Western Tacoma Dome. The EEOC reports that employees worked in an environment of “severe disrespect toward female employees.” The women were allegedly subjected to racial slurs, derogatory sexual comments and physical intimidation. One employee had a stapler thrown at her head. Another employee was allegedly told she was “nothing but a welfare mother” who should abort her pregnancy. Employees were constantly belittled for their religious beliefs, the EEOC reports, citing examples of the general manager telling employees to get abortions, then mocking them when they refused on religious grounds.

of the victims and change policies. They will conduct training, create a human resources department and streamline the process for employee complaints. “The allegations were focused on one employee and of course that employee is no longer there. There were no allegations of any such conduct by the owners,” said Jim Fowler, a Seattle attorney representing a co-owner of the hotels. “It’s
very clear in our settlement there’s no admission of wrongdoing.” Nizar Sayani, a co-owner of the hotels, said some of the employees had drug issues and used hotel rooms to entertain their own guests. The general manager “had some issues disciplining people and making sure they followed the rules,” he said. “These are simply allegations (the alleged victims) had.”

Q&A: Elected leadership buzz Many readers ask me questions either by email or when they see me. Since other readers may have the same questions, I like to share the answers in a Q&A column from time to time. I have shortened some of the questions. Q: You wrote a column about the Republicans trying to win the “big three” — governorship, House and Senate. Washington is a Democratic state. What are their chances? A: Washington has more Democrats then Republicans primarily due to the Puget Sound region, specifically Seattle. Neither party has more than 50 percent of the voters. The solid Democratic vote tends to be in the midhigh 30 percent range, and the solid Republican vote is in the high 20 percent to low 30 percent range. The rest are independents or those that “lean” in one direction. Democrats have fared better historically with this category. Republican Rob McKenna has consistently led in the polls for governor because he is more well known in King County than Democrat Jay Inslee. It will be hard for the Republicans to pick up enough votes to win the House, although state rep. position 1 here in Federal Way is on their target list. They don’t really have to win the Senate to control it, but they could, as there are several seats in play. If they can keep two or three conservative Democrats voting on their side on fiscal matters, and win a couple of seats, they can significantly influence the agenda.
Combine that with a Republican governor’s veto power, and while the Republicans may not have control, they could stop much of the Democratic agenda and force compromise. Q: You didn’t mention Mark Miloscia in your column about possible local 2013 candidates? A: Miloscia has always wanted to be state auditor, and is running a competitive race. If he loses, he might be a possible 2013 candidate for local office. But I can’t see him running for the city council or school board. Mayor? Maybe, but if he wanted to be mayor of Federal Way, he could have run last time, when most pundits were still expecting State Auditor Brian Sonntag to run for re-election. Miloscia didn’t run then, so running next year seems unlikely. But in politics, you never know. Q: Will anything happen with the Crystal Palace project to improve our downtown? A: We all keep hoping, but it doesn’t appear there is any movement. The city is helping ARCADD, the project’s developer, find financing. That’s not a good sign. The city does have a backup plan, but it is hard to tell if it is serious due to fiscal concerns. With Mayor Skip Priest and three members of the city council up for re-election next year, something needs to happen soon, or the issue could have political implications for them.

INSIDE POLITICS
EDITORIAL
Webster’s dictionary defines brainstorming as “a group problem-solving technique that involves the spontaneous contribution of ideas from all members of the group.” Another definition for brainstorming: “try to solve a problem by thinking intensely about it.” However you define it, brainstorming leads to goals, and goals lead to plans of action. The following ideas resulted from The Mirror editorial board’s recent brainstorming session about improving economic development in Federal Way. Share your ideas for making Federal Way a better place to live, learn, work and play. • New businesses: The city government should be more proactive in encouraging new businesses to move to Federal Way. Rather than following the lead of realtors, the city should be actively mining prospects. If a business moves to Federal Way, aggressively follow up on whether other operations of that business can move here, too. Send these job generators a “packet” prepared in conjunction with the school district, police and fire to emphasize the good aspects of Federal Way. • Permits: Continue the laudable work on streamlining permit processes. Continue protecting the city’s environment, appearance, etc. • Communicate: The city and Federal Way Chamber must communicate. They must foster more collaborations between public and private enterprises. • Marketing: The city needs targeted marketing. Pick an industry-specific media outlet and advertise in it. Use a sniper approach rather than the current shotgun approach. Make a deliberate effort to attract more diverse businesses that represent the cross-section of Federal Way residents. • Listen: Figure out what we don’t have that the residents want. Do some community polling and focus forums to ascertain this. Do a topic of the night, break into groups, and toward the end of the night, report back to the whole on what the individual groups suggest. See what shakes out. • Vacancies: Are the vacant building owners being contacted by the city or Federal Way Chamber? What is the status of these buildings? • Housing: Restrict new multi-family developments and apartments, which generally become lower income housing. Encourage redevelopment of areas where housing stock is deteriorating. Put up housing designed for higher incomes. If you build it, they will come. • Tourism: Federal Way already attracts tourism for athletic events such as swimming, diving, baseball, softball and soccer. Federal Way needs to attract regional conventions: Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, unions, etc. To do that, we need a Performing Arts, Civic and Convention Center. • Name game: Come up with a new name for Federal Way, or else embrace it like cities such as Truth or Consequences, N.M., Hell, Mich., or Intercourse, Pa. Have a contest for the community or school district to come up with new signs and a new logo. Winner gets a free cruise or a trip to Disneyland. • Flag waving: How about a contest to redesign Federal Way’s presently generic flag? The contest will inspire amateur vexillologists (aka, people who study flags) to examine Federal Way’s history, role and meaning in the region. The contest will inject a dose of pride into the city. The more pride that people feel toward Federal Way, the more people will take charge and make Federal Way a better place. • Recruiting: Hit the road to recruit symposiums and trade shows for builders, contractors [ more EDITORIAL, page 7 ]

Matter of life and breath: Vote yes for the fire levy I had an asthma attack June 1 that was so severe that I could barely breathe. I pushed my Life Alert button and was told by the operator that the emergency team would be at my home soon. South King Fire and Rescue arrived in about five minutes, with ambulance service not far behind. This kind of quick response is costly and necessary. That’s
why I feel it imperative to vote yes for the South King Fire and Rescue levy on the Aug. 7 ballot. Tough economic times have affected everyone. But when it’s a matter of life and death, I want to know that I can have reliable emergency service. With property values declining, SKFR has lost nearly $6 million in tax revenue over the past few years. It is estimated that without a positive levy vote, another $2 million drop in tax revenue would occur in 2013. Since 2010, SKFR has cut 26 positions (16
percent of the work force). The levy would restore $3.5 million. At a cost of 29 cents per $1,000 of property value, this amounts to $58 per year for a homeowner living in a house valued at $200,000. The first $2 million would mean a break-even for 2013. An aide car can be put back into service for another million dollars. Of the four aide cars in SKFR, only two are in full service in the current budget. The remaining half-million dollars would go back into the severely-depleted capital fund. [ more LETTERS, page 7 ]
Q: How is the city budget looking for the future? A: Like most levels of government, not great. The city has had to cut back — and even turned down a grant for police officers because of the future financial commitment. The city just started the process of obtaining public input on what citizens see as the priority needs in the community for 2013-2014. The challenge of longterm financial sustainability is still there. SCORE, the jail constructed and funded by several cities including Federal Way, continues to be a major long-term financial concern. Some have questioned whether participation without Seattle was a prudent decision. One local leader even wondered if closing SCORE might be more cost effective. The costs are significant enough to affect other city decisions. What are
your priorities? Make your feelings known about what is important to you. Q: I read about things like a performing arts center, veterans memorial and a downtown park, and I think we don’t need them. Why do people keep pushing these ideas? A: Because they see the future that Federal Way can be. Balancing future goals with current dollars is always a challenge. Many cities around us are more than 100 years old and have been working on city improvements for many years. Federal Way is still a young city, but planning what we leave for the next generation is what building a well-rounded city is all about. Each generation benefits by the vision of the last one. And we need that vision.

Demand results for your investment. • Take care of blight: While on course for the 10-plus year project to get the Paldo site in force, erect a cedar fence at the top of the wall on the three street-facing sides. With the street angles, this will hide (mostly) the vacant buildings. Remove all of the vegetation, trees and everything along South 316th Street. Put down mulch to match the west side. Redo the sidewalks. Paint the entire wall gun metal grey. Invite local artists to paint murals of the city’s past. Install inscription plaques along the sidewalks to explain what was going on during these periods. • Vertical garden: See National Geographic magazine’s July 2012 edition about giant vertical wall gardens. One of these could become a landmark for Federal Way. • Carnival: Get the city’s heavy equipment over to the AMC Theatres site, then level it. Invite the Funtastic carnival to town for four or five weekends a year. Give people another reason to come downtown. Cap these nights off with a free outdoor movie. • Embrace the dirt: Give the AMC Theatres site to Federal Way Community Garden Foundation for a super large garden. Proceeds go to Federal Way charities and families Need a business in need — and perhaps to other communities, if there’s loan? We can help you. Consult with us. enough to share. • Change: Give the citizens a sense that you are working on their behalf and that change is a-coming.
If the levy fails, another 18 positions would be cut and one or more fire stations would have to be closed. If they close the fire station near me, another asthma attack could kill me. I’m voting for the SKFR levy as a matter of life and breath.

Sick and tired of all that airplane noise I don’t know how many families are getting sick and tired of the noise from the flights going over their homes in northern Federal Way, the Lakota neighborhood in particular, but I sure am. Especially being awaken at 5:30 a.m., and not being able to go back to sleep, because of the continual flights over our house on 12th Avenue SW. It appears there are more and more flights leaving to the south than either west and/or east, since the third runway opened, then flying north before getting to SW Dash Point Road. It starts anywhere between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m., and continues all day and into the night until sometimes 1 a.m. Most of these aircraft are not the little guys, but the big guys, about the size of a Boeing 777. After reading an article in the Seattle Times a few weeks ago, the Port of Seattle and the FAA are more concerned about the flights out of SeaTac upsetting the citizens of Seattle. In the article, it claims that 750,000 families are affected by the noise. I hardly think so, since the flights are not over that many homes. I know that citizens in Marine Hills are getting their fill of this. There doesn’t seem to be anyway to stop the Port of Seattle from expanding as far south as they want (i.e. Des
north, as long as it doesn’t encroach the Seattle city limits. I guess our only recourse is to just keep calling the Aircraft Noise Complaint line at (206) 433-5393, and just keep complaining and don’t let up. Mayor Skip Priest has tried all he can do, with other mayors, but it has fallen on deaf ears, the Port of Seattle.

Linda lights me up I knew Linda Kochmar in the 1980s when I was a sort of band-aid president of the St. Vincent de paul School parents club, and Linda was an over-qualified secretary. Politically, nothing lights me up more than to know that Linda Kochmar is running for anything.

drowning last month at Lake Tapps, I am having to ask myself how can the community help itself and help to watch our children or anyone for that matter when swimming this summer. First of all, whatever happened to the buddy system? I know that when I was younger, and I was with a friend or friends, we would watch each other’s backs. I think that people have just forgotten about the system and it’s so easy to explain to our kids and young adults. When you are swimming and your buddy has to leave the water for whatever reason, ask your buddy to get out with you because you care for them and you don’t want anything to happen to them while you are away from their side. Just remind each other that you are watching each other. When you’re swimming, stay communicating and watch each other. It just makes sense, right? This doesn’t cost any money. It just takes a little time to explain to your children how the system works and it also reminds them about how we care for each other. This is a very simple action to take and it just may save a life. I do understand that our young people today aren’t all huggy with each other like we used to be in the good old days, but the buddy system is really important in any outing when you are with friends. We know that when people go hiking, they usually have a buddy and they talk about safety procedures together. Let’s do the same thing when our kids head out to go swimming, either in a lake or a swimming pool. Just reminding them that they are each other’s keeper may help out a lot this summer and wouldn’t cost any money at all. It would be a small gesture, but the consequences are so valuable, as our children are.

Decatur grad finishes third State earns waivers for at national auto skills event education mandates By Greg Allmain
By GREG ALLMAIN
gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Recently graduated Decatur High School senior Gordon Sabin competed against 50 other students as part of the 2012 SkillsUSA National Automotive Service Championship — and came home with a third-place finish. The competition took place June 26 in Kansas City, Mo., and allows career and technical students to show off their skills on the big stage. Luke Thompson, Decatur’s automotive technology instructor, recounted Sabin’s path to the podium at the national competition in Kansas City, saying his student performed well every step of the way. “(Gordon) had started out at the regional contest in February, where he finished in second place. That qualified him for the state contest, in April, at South Seattle Community College,” Thompson said. “And that was the regional winners from around the state, about 25 to 30.” Sabin took first place at the statewide competition, giving him the opportunity to head to Kansas City and compete with the best of the best. Thompson recounted the wide array of tasks Sabin had to face over eight hours.
Randy Dorn, the state superintendent of education, announced last week that Washington was granted waivers from Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requirements. Washington is the 26th state to receive such waivers. ESEA is more commonly known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The ESEA involves federal standards that have been problematic for state education systems. The waiver is a win for school districts, according to the state superintendent’s office. Before the waiver was granted, districts faced the possibility of setting aside approximately $34 million in their budgets to pay for outside service providers. With the waiver granted, that money can now be spent by districts in the way they best see fit, as long as it falls within ESEA Title I rules. One component of the rules is Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), which is measured by student performance on standardized tests. Failure to meet AYP is one of the most oner-

“There were 13 stations set up, it was an eight hour contest, all day long,” Thompson said. “11 of the stations were skill stations, hands-on skills and different automotive tasks. One was a written test, and the last station was a job interview. All 51 students (one from Puerto Rico) do every station. They’re scored throughout, and at the end, Gordon took third place out of 51 state champs. It’s a big deal to finish that well.” Sabin pulled in some pretty nice prizes as a result of his high finish, including [ more AUTO SKILLS, page 16 ]

ous requirements of ESEA because of the penalties associated with not meeting standards — which can include a complete overhaul of a school’s staff. Instead, Washington will now be allowed to focus on “opportunity gaps,” a term that describes the differences between scores of different groups of students. Dorn noted that the waiver is a good first step in fixing education in the state, but still feels much needs to be done to rework ESEA to make it more manageable for educators. “This decision is welcome news that gives our state the opportunity to implement bold reforms around standards and accountability,” Dorn said. “It allows state and local educators to decide how to best meet the individual needs of students they serve. Current ESEA law is written in a way that narrowly defines ‘success’ based mainly on standardized test scores.” Gov. Chris Gregoire said the waiver gives state school districts and educators greater flexibility to ensure that students are getting the necessary education to be successful in today’s fastpaced world.

For a girl who is crazy passionate about cats, having a dog come to visit her house is, well, a bit different. But then again, Dresden, a yellow lab, isn’t just a regular dog. She’s a highly trained therapy dog who spends her days visiting hospice patients — old and young — and making them feel better. One of Dresden’s regulars is 8-year-old Kaylie Bergen, a cat fanatic whose family has fostered dozens of

cats and whose house is decorated with Kaylie’s feline passion. But Kaylie is willing to put all that aside when Dresden comes to visit. “Dresden’s leash helps me,” Kaylie said during a recent visit as Dresden pulled away while Kaylie held on to the leash and pulled herself up from laying on the floor to a sitting position. “Dresden’s smiling!” Dresden started visiting Kaylie about two years ago, when the Federal Way girl joined Providence Hospice of Seattle’s pediatric program. Kaylie was diagnosed
with a malignant tumor in the brainstem at age 5 and has been living with it ever since. Hospice nurses, social workers and physical therapists provide the human care Kaylie needs. Dresden provides the canine care. “We love Dresden,” said Kaylie’s mother, Christy Bergen. “To have a trained dog come to bring the ball back to you was amazing to Kaylie. To snuggle, give kisses, do whatever Kaylie says, she loves the visits. Dresden is a highlight of the day.” Therapy dog handlers go

through a training program offered by Pet Partners to learn how to train their animals to be therapy dogs. The animals are trained not only to follow the directions of the patients they visit and offer lots of love and affection, but also to stay calm in the face of otherwise enticing distractions — such as cats. That’s particularly challenging in a house like Kaylie’s, which always has several cats prowling around. “Dresden loves our cats too, as much as Kaylie does,” Christy said. “She gets excited and looks at them.” But she doesn’t chase. She’s been highly trained not to. “Because of Dresden’s training she’s able to go and be with Kaylie in a way that’s not overwhelming for Kaylie,” said Maureen Horgan, Providence Hospice of Seattle social worker and clinical manager of the Stepping Stones program for pediatric hospice patients. During visits from dogs like Dresden, patients often pet, hug, or talk to the dog, throw a ball for the dog to fetch, give commands to the dog to “sit,” “lie down”

Sometimes patients simply sit or lie quietly with the dog at their feet or by their side. Providence Hospice of Seattle currently has three therapy dogs like Dresden working with patients. The agency, which helps adults and children at the end of their lives, is always looking for more. “Studies have shown that interacting with animals can have significant physiological and psychological benefits for people,” Horgan said. “The presence of a friendly companion animal can help to lower blood pressure, reduce feelings of anxiety and isolation and foster a greater sense of well-being. In fact, simply
petting an animal can trigger the release of beneficial hormones that enhance mood.” Kaylie and her family have seen these benefits. Even Kaylie’s younger brother enjoys playing with Dresden when she visits. “Dresden is such a sweet dog. It definitely lifts Kaylie’s spirits to know she’s coming, to plan for when she’s coming, to do something special for her,” Christy said. “Animals are so good at that. When (Kaylie) wasn’t feeling good, we got Dresden on the couch and Kaylie pet her. Whatever she needs, Dresden does it.” To learn more about Providence Hospice of Seattle’s therapy dog program, or to volunteer, visit www2.providence.org.

[ TATTOO from page 1]
“It’s all for the end result,” Burke said. “Can you deal with being a little uncomfortable for a few hours to enjoy something for the rest of your life?” All Hope Aside Tattoo and Art Gallery co-owner Peter Dominguez said there’s a lot more that goes into tattooing than just filling in the lines. “Breathing, talking, laughing. Anything other than (the customer) lying there like he’s dead” makes the tattoo a challenge, Dominguez said. Dominguez, who has been professionally tattooing for more than 17 years, said multiple factors come into play when tattooing. “Keeping the skin and equipment sterile is important,” Dominguez said. “If the skin in a particular spot is thinner, I won’t push down as hard.” Skin condition can be an obstacle in the tattoo process. “Any kind of trauma to a mole has a chance of becoming malignant. It’s a speed bump in the session,” Dominguez said. Throughout the course of Dominguez’s career, he realized there is more to his job than just adding artistic expression to a person’s figure. “Sometimes people get a tattoo for a death in the family or to get over something,” Dominguez said. “It’s kind of therapeutic for some customers.” He’s glad to help them in that way. For Burke’s chest piece, Domiguez expressed his pleasure in tattooing the harpy.
“I like sci-fi and fantasy tattoos,” Dominguez said. “Anything like that I can really get into.” Dominguez pointed out that Burke is an ideal customer. “He is one of my favorite people to tattoo, he’s a champ,” he said. Burke expressed his enjoyment of the experience. “The conversations with Pete are my favorite part,” Burke said. “And my friends usually stop by and keep me company.” Burke said he was confident in Dominguez as both an artist and a tattoo professional. He’s also glad that Pete Dominguez is a bigger guy. “He keeps my arm from twitching and slapping him when he’s going over my collarbone,” said Burke, who is not immune to the discomfort of a tattoo. “I can tell when he is going over meat,” Burke said of his tattoo artist. “The sternum is the worst. I can feel the needle rattling against my bones. I’m a little unfortunate. I have a pretty bony chest.” As the session drew to a close, Dominguez could tell Burke had gone through enough. “I can tell he’s done,” Dominguez said. “By the way he’s reacting and how his body is moving.” Using a squeeze bottle full of surgical soap, Dominguez wet a paper towel and wiped down Burke’s chest for a final time. He then wrapped plastic around the tattoo and sent Burke on his way – the second of 10 sessions completed.

DISTRICT 30 STATE REP., POSITION 1 The candidates
Education reform Candidates frequently referred to “the McCleary decision,” a January ruling by the state Supreme Court that calls for reform to education funding. Kochmar called for changing the outdated funding formula so that “property poor” districts like Federal Way can receive adequate money. She advocates for the creation of a special budget for school funding “so it won’t get raided.” Macfarlane calls for finding more ways to generate revenue to ensure equitable education funding above and beyond the McCleary decision. Galland said lack of money is less of a problem than making sure the money is being used properly for education. Flygare called for redefining basic education in Washington and making sure “we’re teaching what we need to teach.” He noted the Puget Sound Skills Center as an example of a direction for education. Moore said the McCleary decision introduces more accountability to spending. That same level of accountability needs to be looked at by people who know education, he said, and that money follows in areas that get results. Another education topic that surfaced was charter schools. In November, voters will decide on Initiative 1240 and whether to allow private charter schools in Washington. Kochmar and Galland supported the idea of charter schools as a matter of choice, while Moore, Flygare and Macfarlane expressed their opposition to charter schools. Flygare said he supports the recent House Bill 1546, a governor-supported measure that allows more flexibility in creating innovative public school programs. All candidates said the focus should be on fixing public schools and reforming the current education system.
Taxes, businesses As far as business regulations, all candidates said regulations hurt businesses and called for fewer
regulations. The candidates criticized the Business and Occupation (B&O) tax as an obstacle to business growth. Kochmar proposed simplified regulations and taxes with sunset clauses. Moore proposed a review for any tax or regulation older than 20 years. Garnering mixed responses was the topic of Initiative 1185, a proposed measure that would require approval from two-thirds of the Legislature, or a vote of the people, to raise taxes. Moore supports it. “Revenue is not the issue. Priorities are the issue,” Moore said. “Cuts help you see priorities.” Flygare said the bill would hobble government: “When you hobble something, it doesn’t work well.” [ more CANDIDATES, p. 16 ]

Five candidates are competing for this state representative position, which is being vacated by Mark Miloscia, a Democrat running for state auditor. The candidates are: • Linda Kochmar, a Republican: Kochmar has served on the Federal Way City Council since 1997, including stints as mayor, deputy mayor and chairwoman of multiple committees. Kochmar is a risk manager at Lakehaven Utility District, where she has worked 33 years. In her opening statement at Tuesday’s forum, Kochmar said her regional connections are an asset and that she would be a representative people could trust in Olympia. • Roger Flygare, a Democrat: Flygare owns a small court reporting business. He has worked with state lawmakers to pass bills related to the court reporting profession, such as license requirements and protection of job performance. In his opening statement at Tuesday’s forum, Flygare said his experience owning a small business sets him apart. In his closing statement, he said he’d advocate for a “state bank.” • Tony Moore, a Republican: Moore was appointed to the Federal Way School Board in 2008, and currently serves as board president. Moore has been behind the recently-enacted accelerated academics and standards based education policies. He owns a tire wholesale business. In his opening statement at Tuesday’s forum, Moore said education reform is his main focus, but also to improve the economic environment for small businesses. • Thom Macfarlane, a Democrat: The political newcomer has a 27-year background in the information technology field, and once worked in the Oregon State Legislature. He promises, if elected, to advocate for job creation, economic development, education reform and veterans. In his opening statement at Tuesday’s forum, Macfarlane said he knows how the legislative process works, and that he would “stand up for the rights of working people and veterans.” • Jerry Galland, a Republican: Galland ran for
the other state representative position when it was an open seat in 2010. He also ran for South King Fire and Rescue commissioner in 2011. This longtime Boeing employee operates a blog that shares his views on the fire district. In this opening statement at Tuesday’s forum, Galland said he’d be an advocate for property rights and individual rights.

tools, a laptop computer from Toyota, and a number of scholarships. For Thompson, it was gratifying to see his student rank among the top in the nation when it comes to automotive skills. “He really wanted to do well at this, he worked hard for it, and he ended up finishing on the podium,” Thompson said of his four-year student. “It justifies all the work I put into it, when he can take the knowledge and skills he’s learned from me and do so well.” A few local businesses were instrumental in getting Sabin to Kansas City, Thompson said. Chief among them were Les Schwab and Discount Tire. Thompson hopes that Federal Way students and families recognize the importance of Decatur’s automotive program. “There’s a wide variety of students who are showing up every day to Federal Way schools, and the more different opportunities we can give them to help make them successful, the better,” he said. “We’ve got a number of students, when they leave the program, they enter the industry and are making a good wage and doing a respected job.” He added: “I’ve got three juniors in paid internships with local dealerships this summer.”
Galland supports the measure: “Just 50 percent saying yes isn’t enough.” Kochmar opposes the measure. She said the answer is to prioritize spending for education and public safety. “I will not raise your taxes,” she said. Macfarlane opposes the measure, calling it “a huge stranglehold on the legislative process.” Most candidates opposed the implementation of a state income tax, although Macfarlane supports the idea and Flygare is open to it. Macfarlane said the current sales tax is regressive and hurts people on low and fixed incomes, and that the real issue is tax reform.

Education is his priority, along with housing and jobs. “The value of a single human being needs to be respected,” Hoffman said of the most important issue he wants to address. “In Olympia, we seem to have cash funds that are more important than a human being.” • Roger Freeman, a Democrat: Freeman, an attorney for 17 years who works with parents dealing with Child Protective Services, was elected to the Federal Way City Council in 2009. His most notable accomplishment since taking office is reviving the city’s Martin Luther King Celebration. “Can I use one word to say education/ jobs?” Freeman said about his top priorities — funding education and creating jobs.

Leadership
• Katrina Asay, a Republican: Asay, a former mayor of Milton, faces two challengers. Asay was elected to the state representative seat vacated by Skip Priest, who became Federal Way’s first elected mayor in 2010. NOTE: Asay was unable to attend the July 10 forum. See this story online under “Elections” to read a letter from Asay.
The candidates were asked to cite examples of community leadership. As a city councilman, Freeman helped revive the Martin Luther King Celebration by securing city money. He has worked as a truancy attorney and said he founded the Coalition to End Truancy. In addition to representing Boeing scientists, machinists and engineers, Hoffman volunteered for three years as a tutor at Concord Elementary, a lowincome school in Seattle.
Education reform Both candidates assailed the state’s education funding formula. Hoffman called the formula “outdated,” and wants distribution of funds throughout the state from wealthier communities in order to achieve more equitable funding for all. “It didn’t take the McCleary decision for me to know that education funding was pretty sad in this state,” he said. When asked if he would support raising taxes to fund education, Hoffman said, “we do need to raise revenue. … from the 1 percent that benefit the
to fund our education.” Freeman said funding education is a matter of will, and that additional funding can come from an amended model. Freeman wants to distribute funds based upon the needs of communities, and will comb over the budget and find money for funding education because “kids deserve it.” Freeman opposes raising taxes for education. “It’s not a taxing issue, it’s a prioritization issue,” he said.
Business views While neither Freeman nor Hoffman have experience in running a business, both said they have other life experiences that will serve District 30. “I’ve spent my life volunteering in the community and advocating for folks,” said Freeman, adding that passing good legislation requires a sound mind and a commitment to the people being served. “We need different perspectives in the Legislature,” Hoffman said. “Having a business owner’s perspective is one of many.”
Medical marijuana Both candidates support medical marijuana in Washington. “Why would you deny someone medication they need to make their life tolerable?” Hoffman said, adding that he supports recreational use of marijuana. “It’s not addictive, yet we can go to the grocery store now and you can buy some Johnnie Walker (Scotch whisky).” Freeman supports the medicinal use of marijuana
and said legalization will help the state save money spent in the “war on drugs.” “I would vote to legalize it,” he said. “My only concern is that the federal government doesn’t recognize it (as medicine).”
Gay marriage “I am married to a woman. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, no doubt about that,” Freeman said. “The other thing is I know people can’t control who they fall in love with.” Freeman said he would make sure no laws discriminated or inhibited a person from “exercising their right to love someone.” Hoffman looked at the historical perspective. “I think everybody deserves the opportunity to go through the misery of divorce,” he said, noting that not long ago, interracial marriage was illegal in the U.S. In those times, he said, opponents expressed fears similar to those targeted at same-sex marriage. “It’s a matter of freedom, equality and liberty,” Hoffman said, “and they should

CHECK IT OUT
Two-thirds voting Both candidates addressed I-1185, a proposed initiative that would require approval from two-thirds of the Legislature, or a vote of the people, to raise taxes. Hoffman said the requirement leads to gridlock, as evidenced in the California Legislature and the U.S. Senate. “It doesn’t work. It’s minority rule,” Hoffman said. “It brings states and communities to their knees.” Freeman took a similar stance: “Having to convince two-thirds of the people to vote in favor of legislation really does hamstring the

Interactive Caregiving®, our distinctive approach to in-home care—is at the very heart of Comfort Keepers. Comfort Keepers has been keeping seniors independent in their own homes in the Federal Way area for over 10 years. Back in 2001, when my own family was challenged with caring for our grandparents, one with Alzheimer’s and the other had suffered a debilitating stroke, our knee-jerk reaction as a family was“we have to move them to a nursing home.” After doing some research, we discovered the Comfort Keepers franchise and were eager to learn more about their philosophy of caring for the elderly in the privacy and comfort of home. The decision was made to open our very own Comfort Keepers office in our community of Federal Way. Over the years, we have built a wonderful staff of compassionate and dedicated caregivers, the special people we call Comfort Keepers®. We transform day-to-day caregiving into opportunities for meaningful conversation and activities that engage and enrich the lives of seniors physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Sometimes seniors need assistance with transportation or someone to help them get their errands done. Other times, they need help preparing healthy and nutritious meals, light housekeeping and laundry services. We also provide personal hygiene care when needed. This practice of Interactive Caregiving can contribute to longer, healthier, more purposeful lives for seniors—a fact proven by many research studies that point to the health benefits of active living in later life. For maximum effectiveness, Comfort Keepers tailors Interactive Caregiving to the personality and unique interests and abilities of each senior. Interactive Caregiving may, for example, include walks in the neighborhood or dancing to music; working together on household chores; discussing current events or personal interests; reminiscing while viewing photo albums; working on hobbies, puzzles or crafts; and going shopping or to church, senior center or civic group activities. To find out more, you can reach us at (253) 945-1400, 28815 Pacific Hwy. S., Suite 7A, Federal Way, WA, or visit our website at www.comfortkeepers.com.

Not giving up on dream just yet Federal Way’s Anderson wins IBL basketball title for the Bellingham Slam, named MVP in the final
MLS: Rowe suspended one game after hit By CASEY OLSON
By CASEY OLSON

Morris Anderson is still chasing the dream of playing professional basketball at the highest level. It’s not an uncommon aspiration. Every kid that picks up a basketball, laces up their sneakers and hits hundreds of “game-winning” shots in the driveway would give their right arm to get paid to play the sport. But most of us give up on the dream after high school. Not Anderson. Now 25, the former Federal Way High School star is still grinding toward that dream. “I just love playing basketball,” Anderson said. “I’m just trying to get my dream.” The 6-foot-3 Anderson recently played a humongous role in the Bellingham Slam winning the International Basketball League championship last week with a 142-109 victory over the Portland Chinook. Anderson was named the Most Valuable Player of the championship game after he led the Slam with 29 points, including a 4-for-5 showing from 3-point range. The IBL is a professional basketball league based in Vancouver, Wash., and includes teams from Washington, Oregon, Canada, New Jersey, Florida and two from Japan. Players only make about $50 a game. But basketball isn’t Anderson’s only love — far from it. Actually, the sport falls way behind the love he has for his family, which includes his wife, Jessica, and 6-year-old daughter, Jordan. Those are the two people who allow Anderson to chase that basketball dream. But that chase doesn’t come without sacrifices, and Anderson has made plenty of those.
Morris Anderson goes up for a dunk during the 2012 International Basketball League championship game on July 8 at Whatcom Pavilion. courtesy Jon Bergman, Bellingham Slam “For at least right now, I’m just doing whatever I can do to provide for my family,” Anderson said. For example, during the 2012 Bellingham Slam season, Anderson’s day started at 5:30 a.m. when he woke up and drove from his family’s Federal Way home to a warehouse in Auburn after saying goodbye to his wife and daughter. That’s where he worked his eight-
Sidelines: Penn State hid sex abuse to avoid bad publicity Casey Olson
The whole thing is just disgusting and, fortunately, Federal Way has never encountered such a depraved situation. Paterno, who died of lung cancer in January, is the same guy who sat in thousands of living rooms around the country, preaching to parents about sending their 18-year-old kids to play football at Penn State. Paterno told moms and dads that he would make their sons into men. What a joke. In my book, the definition of a “man” [ more sidelines page 27 ]
SIDELINES
They knew what was going on and did nothing about it. Period. You can’t defend it. Joe Paterno, the Hall of Fame football coach at Penn State, and three other top university officials, kept quiet about child sex abuse allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky for more than a decade. They feared bad publicity for Penn State and the school’s football program. They enabled Sandusky to continue to prey on young boys.

hour shift on an assembly line, putting parts together for semi trucks. After work, Anderson would jump on Interstate 5 and make the threehour drive from Federal Way to Bellingham three or four days a week for Slam practices and games. “At the start, it wasn’t real fun,” Anderson said. “It wasn’t real easy waking up at 5:30 every morning [ more anderson page 27 ]
Kelyn Rowe’s rookie season in Major League Soccer (MLS) has been put on hold for one game. The Federal Way High School graduate and New England Revolution midfielder was suspended one match by the MLS Disciplinary Committee Tuesday night. The suspension, Kelyn Rowe which included an undisclosed fine, came after Rowe ran into New York Red Bull goalkeeper Ryan Meara on Sunday. The punishments came for Rowe “endangering the safety” of Meara. The incident occurred three minutes from stoppage time and just a few minutes after New England had scored their second goal of the match. Rowe received a pass in the New York penalty area, and Meara sprung off of his line in an attempt to beat him to the ball. Meara slid in and obtained possession of the ball and Rowe, in a full sprint, ran into the top of Meara’s head with his shin. Match referee Drew Fischer did not issue a caution or even a foul following the collision. [ more soccer page 26 ]

Gives me a week to work harder.” So far this season, Rowe has played in 14 of the Revolution’s 17 matches and has two goals and one assist. He is second on New England with 15 shots on goal. The Revolution is currently in sixth place in the MLS’s Eastern Conference with a 6-7-4 record. New England is 5-1-3 at home and just 1-6-1 on the road. The Revolution took Rowe with the third overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft following his sophomore season at UCLA. Rowe was the Pac-12 Player of the Year after leading the conference in assists with 10 last fall. Rowe also tallied six goals and led UCLA to the semifinals of the NCAA College Cup. This offseason, Rowe made his camp debut with the United States under-23 National Team after earning six caps on the U-20 squad. He finished his UCLA career with 13 goals, 20 assists and 46 points in 46 games.
Former Sounders player Neagle gets back on field for Impact Thomas Jefferson graduate Lamar Neagle saw his first action on the field for the Montreal Impact in nearly two weeks Sunday. Neagle played 71 minutes during a 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew. The winger wasn’t used in Montreal’s previous two matches, both losses to Kansas City and DC United. Neagle was traded in February from the Seattle Sounders FC to Montreal for Eddie Johnson. Neagle was signed by the Sounders on March 2, 2011. The winger/forward finished with seven total goals for Seattle, including the club’s second-ever hat trick. The three-goal performance against the Columbus Crew earned him MLS Player of the Week. By the end of last season, Neagle was playing in every game for Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid, mostly off the bench. The Sounders showed even more confidence in Neagle when they protected him in the recent MLS Expansion Draft. The
Jefferson grad Lamar Neagle tallied his only goal of the 2012 season during a 4-1 Montreal win over Sounders FC. file photo team was only able to protect 11 total players. Neagle did get a little revenge on the team that traded him during the offseason when he scored his only goal of the season in the 88th minute during a 4-1 win over the Sounders on June 16. Neagle recovered a ball in the box and beat the goalkeeper to his right with a hard, low shot. On the season, Neagle has played in 15 of the Impact’s 19 matches and has started seven times. He also has two assists and 15 shots.

Kentucky Derby winning jockey Mario Gutierrez returns to Emerald Downs for Sunday’s $50,000 Kent Handicap. Gutierrez has the mount on Regal Betty in the mile and one-sixteenth event for 3-yearold fillies. Gutierrez, 25, stunned the racing world in May with flawless rides aboard I’ll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, as the colt captured the first two legs of the Triple Crown before being retired with a tendon injury. Twice the riding champion at Hastings Racecourse, Gutierrez is based in Southern California with veteran agent Ivan Puhich, who said Gutierrez plans to ride the remainder of the summer in Vancouver before returning to California for the fall meet at Santa Anita. A native of Veracruz, Mexico, Gutierrez has 16 career mounts at Emerald Downs with one win, four seconds and three thirds. The victory is among the more famous races in track history, as Holy Nova and Mario Gutierrez deadheated with Elusive Horizon and Juan Gutierrez in the 2009 Boeing Handicap for fillies and mares. The riding champion at Hastings in 2007 and 2008, Gutierrez relocated to Southern California last winter and made headlines with victories
aboard I’ll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby and Robert B. Lewis Stakes. Shunning offers from other riders, owner Paul Reddam and trainer Doug O’Neill stuck with Gutierrez, and the jockey rewarded their faith by turning in masterful rides aboard I’ll Have Another in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. • Federal Way Public Schools is seeking nominees for the fifth Athletic Hall of Fame class to honor past employees who have made a major impact on the district’s athletic programs.

[ sidelines from page 25] is being a protector who doesn’t back down when others are in danger. Paterno did the exact opposite. He essentially tucked his head in the ground while unspeakable atrocities were being committed. While Paterno was selling the “We are Penn State” attitude, he was also enabling a child rapist. Paterno, along with Penn State president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley, were involved in a decade-plus cover-up of a monster, Jerry Sandusky. The former defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions was recently convicted of 45 counts of child abuse. According to a scathing 267-page report issued Thursday by former FBI Director Louis Freeh after an eightmonth investigation and more than 400 interviews, the leadership at Penn State “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse.” During a news conference Thursday, Freeh basically said the actions
by the most powerful men at the university were horrifying and sad. The disregard they showed for the children whom Sandusky victimized was “callous and shocking.” Freeh said the motivation of Penn State’s powerful four-man oligarchy was to not suffer the consequences that would go along with the bad publicity. They wanted to cover up Sandusky’s atrocities to protect the football program and donations to the university, among other things. The scandal led to the firing of Paterno and Spanier. Curley and Schultz are awaiting trial on charges of lying to a grand jury and failing to report abuse. Both have pleaded not guilty. According to the report, the four Penn State leaders allowed the convicted child rapist to attack potential victims by giving him continued, unencumbered and unsupervised access because of his affiliation with the football program. His continued access to the vaunted Nittany Lion football team provided Sandusky with a humongous carrot to attract troubled boys, whom he
preyed upon. Freeh said Paterno and his cronies had opportunities in 1998 and 2001 to step in and report Sandusky’s actions to the authorities — and the sexual abuse might have been prevented. They could have easily banned Sandusky from bringing children onto campus after a 1998 complaint by a woman whose son came home with wet hair after showering with Sandusky. Schultz was worried about opening Pandora’s Box back then. Then, in 2001, after assistant football coach Mike McQuery saw Sandusky in a locker room shower with a boy, officials barred him from bringing children to campus, but decided not to report Sandusky to child welfare authorities. “There’s more red flags here than you could count over a long period of time,” Freeh said. They knew what was going on and did nothing about it. All those wins on the football field for JoePa over the years are not going to be remembered. His legacy now is this cover-up. Very sad.

and not getting home until 11:30 or midnight. Then have to get back up at 5:30 again. But I kind of got used to it.” Jessica and Jordan do make it to a lot of the Bellingham Slam’s to watch Anderson play. And, according to Anderson, Jordan’s favorite thing to do at the games is dancing during timeouts to earn free ice cream the Slam gives away. “That’s what she likes doing,” he said. Anderson is hoping that his play with the Slam catches the eye of a scout or coach in a bigger professional league. He has also tried out the last two years for the Boise Stampede of the NBA Developmental League but fell short. “I feel that you gotta know somebody,” Anderson said. “It’s pretty tough going to a gym and trying out with 150 other guys. The most likely way to get noticed is to get in touch with the right people, who know people on the team.” Anderson’s road to the Bellingham Slam has been a long and winding one. While at Federal Way High School, the 6-foot3 point guard was the Mirror’s All-City Boys Basketball Player of the Year following his senior season in 2005. Anderson scored an impressive 16.2 points a game, and also led the Eagles in assists, 3-pointers and steals. Despite the success in high school, there weren’t many college offers for Anderson following his Federal Way career. So he went up the road a little bit to play at Highline Community College. While at Highline, Anderson earned firstteam Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges Western Division all-star honors as a sophomore and helped the Thunderbirds win the NWAACC championship during his freshman season. The play earned Anderson a scholarship to Western Washington and was a first-team, All-Great Northwest Conference selection both years. As a freshman, he scored 12.9 points a game, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 6.3 assists a game. As a senior, Anderson finished with 14.7 points, 5.2 assists and 2.5 steals. So, for now, Anderson will continue chasing that basketball dream driving three hours to Bellingham during the spring and spending plenty of nights at LA Fitness in Federal Way playing with his buddies. “Now that the season is over, I usually play four or five times a week with everybody from high school.”
