• Jeers to the litterbugs who leave broken glass along Federal Way’s roads and sidewalks. This is a hazard for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and children. Please do everyone a favor and find a trash can for your empty beer bottles. While you’re at it, please bust a bottle over your head.

• Jeers to those who failed to vote in the Aug. 7 primary election. Double jeers to non-voters who complain about the results. Jeers to the weak “candidate gene pool” that challenged Adam Smith for his District 9 Congress seat. When it comes to connecting with voters, these challengers are miles outside the ballpark.

• Cheers to affordable entertainment in Federal Way, ranging from the free Summer Sounds Concert Series at Steel Lake to the affordable flicks at the Galaxy Gateway 8 movie theater.

• Jeers to the copper wire thieves who struck at Celebration Park earlier this week. Jeers to the scrap metal recyclers who keep paying these thieves in cash.

• Cheers to the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center for its role as a lynchpin in the region’s economy. The county reports the facility has an estimated annual financial impact of more than $7.5 million. In June, the 2,500-seat facility on SW Campus Drive hosted the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials — Diving. The event attracted thousands of out-of-towners to the area and generated nearly $2.3 million for the economy.

• Jeers to Sound Transit for even thinking about charging a daily parking fee at park-andride lots. The idea is to help reduce congestion at these parking lots, when in reality, the fee would unfairly penalize Federal Way commuters who need public transit the most.

Only humans have a problem with gays The true meaning of the word marriage is the blending or joining of two things.

Gay marriage isn’t about sex and religion. It’s about the legal rights of two human beings. It is the joining of two people in a legally binding contract that is recognized by the United States government that grants all the of the rights and benefits available under the legal title of marriage.

As the laws stand now, unmarried couples have no legal rights.

There are civil unions in some states, but those fall short of granting full protection and rights.

Ask leaders: Did the guns win?

In the aftermath of Aurora, Time Magazine’s Joe Klein did a cover piece titled “How Guns Won.” It’s a startling revelation. According to Professor Fox at Northeastern University, since the 1970s, we have averaged about 20 mass shootings per year.

Since some reports suggest that about 20 percent of the public suffer from some form of mental illness, they probably shouldn’t be able to get guns.

But they do — legally. And they use them. Under the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, the gun used in Aurora would have been illegal. Should the ban be renewed? According to Klein, there was only a marginal improvement while the ban was in effect. But what is saving one life worth?

A recent headline out of Colorado: “Gun sales surge after Colorado massacre.” A similar headline ran here.

The buyers are probably very nice people who are simply scared to death that if they go to a mall or a movie, they could be shot. But how many of these new gun owners have a mental illness? Gun owners would argue that if someone in attendance in Aurora had a gun, they could have shot the suspect and saved lives. What if 20 people in attendance were carrying guns that fateful night? How many would have actually hit the target?

In the gas canister-induced chaos, how many, even with training, would have known who the target was? And how many innocent bystand-

ers or other gun carriers would have been hit by 20 people suddenly opening fire? The well intentioned irony wouldn’t nearly compare to the grief.

One answer from gun advocates is that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” That trite repose forgets that guns seldom fire themselves. People fire guns.

Many gun owners want a handgun for household and self-protection, and also want a rifle for hunting season.

Does anyone really need a semi-automatic, or automatic gun, or an assault rifle? Or any gun that shoots 50 to 100 bullets in seconds?

As one local congressional candidate recently said of gun owners, “they don’t need a tank.”

While mentioned with a tinge of sarcasm, it does define a limit for debate. There is a line somewhere between the Second Amendment right “to bear arms” and tank ownership where we should consider limiting public access to weapons and ammunition.

Over the years, Congress has passed legislation to try and tighten up gun control. Not only does the killing continue, but it’s getting worse and more frequent. That suggests that previous attempts didn’t go far enough. And saying “if someone wants to get a gun they will find a way” ignores the problem.

Why hasn’t something significant been done to change the laws? [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

With no binding law, if one of the partners becomes ill or dies, their partner is turned away. Medical decisions fall to families that probably don’t know the desires of the sick person. Everything that couple built is now torn apart because of antiquated laws.

For centuries, marriage has been a tool used to develop bonds for reasons other than love and holy matrimony. Daughters were possessions and were given to the most powerful men that their fathers could find. It wasn’t about personal choice, it was about building strong

ties with other influential families, and producing heirs to carry on their names and build empires.

The arranged marriage had to be male and female to accomplish the goals of those families. We’ll never know how many homosexuals were forced into power marriages. How much sanctity is there in a marriage based on material benefits?

The very religious factions that are fighting against gay marriage today have stood by throughout history and watched and blessed the joining of couples that were using marriage for prestige and status.

Many male/female marriages are only for convenience, duty to family or the protection of assets.

Religions still stand by as aspirants to high political office marry in churches to form powerful alliances. Celebrities marry in churches to gain publicity, approval and the appearance of normalcy to further their careers. The participants in these marriages are using God for their own goals and making a mockery of a true spiritual union.

Today it appears that men and women can make their own choices, but they are expected to marry someone that will enhance the family status. There are homosexuals that feel they have to hide their true [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

www.federalwaymirror.com [ ROEGNER from page 4] Two reasons. The National Rifle Association (NRA) may be the most powerful lobby in the country, and we keep electing people that are afraid of them. Or we elect people that simply don’t want gun laws tightened. Some run on a platform of less government intrusion.

The founding fathers didn’t anticipate today’s world with the Second Amendment. They simply wanted a ready militia.

They also supported gun control, although it was in part racially and politically motivated, and they wanted to keep the public peace.

Gun violence happens every day. It used to be in far away places like Chicago, Atlanta and Cleveland. Now it’s also Seattle and Lakewood.

Without change, could Federal Way be added to the list someday? How many shootings have there been in Federal Way in the past two years? Should any of these people have had guns?

Have we reached the

point where it’s time to have a little of that government intrusion? Or have we reached the other end of the spectrum where we are so numb to violence that we think that is an acceptable price for individual rights?

Or, as the Time article questions, “are we in the name of individualism slowly lapsing into social anarchy?”

When you talk to candidates for public office about education, jobs and transportation, maybe you should add gun control along with more funding for mental illness. Both are now part of the public debate.

Even conservative columnist David Brooks, who isn’t in favor of gun control, says “The truly disturbed have always been with us, but their outbursts are now taking more malevolent forms.”

No individual knows what the correct answer is or where common ground might be found. Certainly the purchase of guns or ammunition over the Internet is a place for our congressional delegation

to start the dialogue, along with renewal of the assault weapons ban and increased funding for care of the mentally ill.

There has to be a better answer than what we have now, and a candid adult discussion, above the extremism of both sides, needs to take place. But is that possible?

For Republicans, gun advocates are an essential part of their political base, but Democrats, who used to be the party advocating stronger control, seem to have abandoned the issue.

Why? Certainly there is fear of the NRA. But we have changed as well. In the 1980s, Klein reports, a Gallup poll showed 78 percent of the public favored stricter control of guns.

That has now dropped to 43 percent. The NRA has done a good job recruiting and with its message spin.

And the decline in support for controls has further emboldened them. Politicians don’t feel a political pressure balance. They feel threatened by the NRA and no one pressures them from the other side, so they read

those numbers and go with the loudest voice.

I respect the fact that most gun owners are rational, intelligent, law-abiding citizens. That is exactly what makes them among the most knowledgeable people to start the discussion and be “part of the solution.” The deadly actions of a few, combined with allowing the NRA to use political power to intimidate Congress, undermines responsible gun owners’ credibility — and eventually will strain public patience.

Many responsible gun owners already recognize this.

If the dialogue is left to school yard gun bullies who categorize anyone wishing a discussion of sane gun limitations as a “Nordstrom shopper,” they will be relegated to “part of the problem” and their influence compromised, when the pendulum of public opinion swings back, as it

always does.

We have an immediate way to open the discussion.

Mayor Skip Priest and the Federal Way City Council can start the dialogue.

They can start by having a Town Hall style meeting that opens up an intellectual debate to gather citizen-inspired ideas from gun owners and non-gun owners, about what is acceptable in our community. Challenge the NRA to demonstrate a commitment to citizen safety like they did in the 1930s when too many criminals had guns. Thoughtful ideas, not political rhetoric.

The mayor and council could follow that by including recommendations to the state Legislature to allow cities to have more stringent gun control laws than the state currently allows. Shouldn’t cities be allowed to define their own standards?

The Old West was the visual depiction of an individuals right to carry a gun.

But most cities, including Dodge City, had gun restrictions within the city limits.

Do our political leaders have the courage to lead?

And if so, can they bring interested parties together to try and find a community solution? Don’t gun owners and non-owners want the same thing? To prevent mass murder? Can one community make a difference? And can we be that community?

Klein’s article suggests that the conversation is beyond both parties’ ability to discuss. Is it?

Pogo said “we have met the enemy and he is us.”

Representatives of SRG Partnership, the architectural firm tasked with the redesign of Federal Way High School (FWHS), will be available to the public from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 23.

The Meet and Greet will be held at the district’s Support Services Center, 1211 S. 332nd St., just south of Celebration Park.

The intent is to ensure that the community’s voices are heard regarding what they’d like to see in the new Federal Way High School.

Federal Way voters will be asked to approve a $60 million capital projects levy in November for the rebuild/ redesign of Federal Way High School.

Money from that levy will also be used to upgrade playground equipment throughout the district, and also standardize the district’s security camera systems.

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Centerstage Theatre and Central Washington University have teamed up for the 2012 Federal Way Summer Theatre Festival.

Six student interns from CWU in Ellensburg, Wash., will work with local professional actors and directors to produce two shows: “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” by William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin and “All In The Timing” by David Ives. The shows run Aug. 16-26 at the Knutzen Family Theatre in Federal Way. Scott Robinson, the theater department chairman at CWU, said the program is an excellent internship opportunity for his students — who rarely work with professionals on the west side of the mountains because of scheduling.

His department is supplying the costume and scenic lighting designers.

Most of the sets and props were built at the CWU campus and were hauled to Centerstage earlier this week. The students involved with the production are staying at dorms available at the Federal Way site.

Alan Bryce, artistic director at Centerstage, says audiences will appreciate this West Coast professional spin on the East Coast tradition of summer stock theater. “There are perhaps none like it in the area,” Bryce said of the inaugural Federal Way festival.

Money matters The festival is made possible by a $35,000 from Federal Way’s lodging tax fund, which was awarded to Centerstage back in March.

The goal is for the program to grow into a new major summer event that will encourage visitors to Federal Way, said city spokesman Chris Carrel. In addition, Centerstage recently renewed its contract with the city for rental/management of the Knutzen Family Theatre, 3200 SW Dash Point Road.

About the shows • “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

This Tony-Award winning musical celebrates the un-

likeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

• “All in the Timing” is a collection of six humorous plays from renowned playwright David Ives. The New York Times wrote: “There is indeed a real heart beneath Mr. Ives’s intellectual tomfoolery, which may explain why one leaves the theater without the slight pangs of emptiness that sometimes follow determinedly clever revues. There is sustenance as well as pure entertainment here.”

If you go: Tickets • Centerstage will host the inaugural Federal Way Summer Theatre Festival from Aug. 16-26 in collaboration with Central Washington University.

• The shows will run in repertory. “Spelling Bee” runs 8 p.m. Aug. 16, 22, 24 and 25, and 2 p.m. Aug. 1819. “All in the Timing” runs 8 p.m. Aug. 17, 18 and 23, and 2 p.m. Aug. 25-26.

• All shows take place at the Knutzen Family Theatre, 3200 SW Dash Point Road. Learn more at centerstagetheatre.com or call (253) 661-1444.

• All tickets come with a free pass to the Northwest Sand Festival, which runs Aug. 16 to Sept. 3 at The Commons Mall parking lot in Federal Way. Outof-town guests are eligible for discounts at the Best Western or Clarion hotels in Federal Way.

Really yummy pizza is all about the crust…no, it’s the sauce… oh, it’s the cheese. It’s the toppings… And so the debate goes!

Really yummy pizza is about all of these ingredients, their freshness and quality, plus the caring that goes into making each one.

Round Table Pizza, Federal Way, is part of a strong, qualityproud west coast regional chain. But it’s locally owned and operated by David and Olga Lundgren who live in the Browns Point area. David is passionate about pizza, always experimenting to find an even more yummy way to make it. Wherever possible, the ingredients are local, all are freshly prepared each day.

Dough is David’s pride and joy and he makes sure it is made from scratch each day with utmost care and attention to detail. Then there’s the salad bar…one of the very few left in the area, with a wide selection of freshly prepared toppings. And, let’s not forget, a beer and wine selection that is local . Yes, produced in our area.

Of course, there is more to pizza than pizza. There are the wonderful customers, many of whom have been visiting since the restaurant opened in 1986, in Ross Plaza on 320th and Pacific Highway. Parents visiting our new restaurant (next to Walmart) often reminisce about the sports banquets they attended as young folk. The tradition continues today.

Most of our customers live or work in the Federal Way community. Round Table Pizza is active in “giving back” by sponsoring teams, and donating to various fund raising events.

Stop by and say “hello” to our friendly, caring employees. Or catch David making sure everything is ready for you.

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

A lot has changed for Benson Henderson since he won the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight championship in February.

That’s when the 2001 Decatur High School graduate won a unanimous decision over former champ Frankie Edgar in Tokyo, Japan, to become the best 155-pounder in the world and one of seven UFC champions.

Henderson’s meteoric rise continues Saturday night at UFC 150 inside Denver’s Pepsi Arena where he will fight Edgar again with the lightweight championship belt on the line.

“We both always bring it and always have good entertaining fights,” Henderson said. “We always put on a great show and that’s going to stay the same in Denver.”

Henderson and Edgar did exactly that in Japan. The two fought a five-round war with Henderson winning a unanimous but somewhat controversial decision.

The biggest moment in the fight came late in the second round when Henderson broke Edgar’s nose with an upkick.

He also shut Edgar’s left eye by landing several jabs.

The Marine Hills Swim Team is turning into a swimming dynasty. For the second year in a row, the Marlins swam to the All-City championship in the Seattle Summer Swim League (SSSL) Tuesday at the Arbor Heights Swim and Tennis Club in Seattle.

Marine Hills dominated the competition against 16 other teams from around the Puget Sound area. The Marlins won 23 of the 72 races contested Tuesday night and set seven All-City records.

The Marine Hills combined boys and girls team tallied a grand total of 369 points to outdistance second-place Sand Point Robert Hughes, 14, swims the from Seattle, who tallied 257 breaststroke during the All-City points. Federal Way’s other Meet Tuesday in Seattle. summer swim team, Twin Lakes, finished up in 13th place overall with 84 points.

The All-City championship follows Marine Hills rolling through the regular season unbeaten. It was the second year in a row that the Marlins have completed the impressive double. In 2011, Marine Hills was undefeated during the regular season for the first time in the program’s history and won its first-ever All-City championship. [ more swim page 16 ]

boxing and movement, but Henderson used his size and strength to control the middle of the ring, landing the more powerful shots.

“I did think I won the fight,” Edgar said about the February meeting. “The fight was close and was controversial. I gave two rematches, I guess it’s my turn.”

“Frankie is obviously entitled to his opinion,” Henderson said. “I just think a little differently. I will beat Frankie again for the second time (Saturday).”

Edgar, who held the UFC lightweight championship for nearly two years, will become the first fighter in the organization’s history to compete in six consecutive title fights Saturday against Henderson.

Edgar granted rematches to B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard during his run.

Despite granting the immediate rematch to Edgar, which he didn’t have to do, Henderson won’t be afforded the same opportunity if he loses Saturday night in Denver, according to UFC President Dana White.

“Of course, if Ben loses in the fight, he gets back in line,” White said. “So, definitely some pressure on Henderson for that fight.”

White told a throng of reporters last week that he wants to get the lightweight division moving again.

“It’s the unfortunate position that Ben is in,” White said. “Ben steps up and takes the rematch with Frankie, which I didn’t want it to happen, but Frankie came to me a million times. This guy has always stepped up, always been there for

us and I felt obligated to return the favor. So, Ben accepted.”

White has made it pretty clear that the winner of the HendersonEdgar fight will take on Nate Diaz in the next title defense.

“Dana White can say what he wants to say,” Henderson said. “I just want to win my next fight. I want to win my next fight, period.

Very badly. I don’t care about all the other stuff. I’m one of only seven UFC champs in the world.”

Henderson has thoroughly enjoyed his six months wearing the UFC lightweight championship belt. But there is a lot of things that go along with the ultra-elite title of being a champion. Things the normal fan wouldn’t even think about.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome,” Henderson said of his title.

“But in terms of time management, it’s been kind of rough.”

Henderson gives the example of being away from home for six weekends in a row following his win over Edgar in Japan.

“I was at different functions and doing different things,” Henderson said. “I would leave every Friday and wouldn’t get home until Sunday. I’m not a good traveller.”

But soft-spoken and humble Henderson has been able to concentrate on Saturday’s rematch with Edgar after letting the UFC brass know that he wouldn’t be hopping on any airplanes during his training camp.

“Once the fight gets closer, I told them I’m done traveling. I have to get into the gym.”

Henderson has also undertaken several business opportunities out-

side of the Octagon since exploding in the UFC. He has become an owner of the gym he has trained at for the last five years, The MMA Lab in Glendale, Ariz., and also bought a stake in Bueño Burger, a Mexican-American grill restaurant in Scottsdale.

“After winning the belt, we had a bunch of new guys show up at our gym,” Henderson said. “It’s been cool and fun to see a lot of different people. It’s nice to feel that.”

Henderson gets his entrepreneurial aspirations from his mother, Song, who owns and operates Peter’s Grocery, a small convenience store in Tacoma.

“I’m going to very much try and not change my mentality,” Henderson said. “But it’s hard for guys after winning. Even some of the best guys fight to not lose, instead of to win. I will be aggressive and go out there and do the same as I’ve always done.”

Henderson hopes Saturday night’s fight ends the same way his first fight with Edgar did — with his hand raised and the UFC belt around his waist.

“Frankie is a tough fighter. We all know he’s better in rematches,” Henderson said. “His coaches put together a great plan for rematches.

It’s about finding holes in his opponents. I know he’s going to be a lot hungrier.”

According to Edgar, motivation for Saturday’s fight isn’t going to be a problem. The New Jersey native obviously got pretty used to being the UFC lightweight champion.

“Wherever I go, people call me ‘Champ’,” Edgar said. “The fact that

the last fight, I wasn’t the victor gives me more motivation. The belt belongs to me.”

Henderson knows he’s going to get Edgar’s best shot and he’s ready for that. His MMA Lab teammates and coaches have been training in Flagstaff, Ariz. for the last several weeks. Flagstaff sits 7,000-feet above sea level, which is nearly 2,000-feet higher than Denver.

“Thankfully, I’m not afraid of hard work,” Henderson said. “I just want to be the best. The greatest of all time. At this level, fights are so close. A lot of times, it boils down to who shows up that night. For fighters, we have to be on top of our game “ Henderson, 28, began wrestling during his time at Lakota Middle School and continued at Decatur, where he competed under head coach Mike Bressler.

His prep career culminated with a second-place finish at the 2001 Mat Classic state wrestling championships inside the Tacoma Dome, losing to University’s Tommy Owen in the 135-pound title match.

After Decatur, Henderson went on to wrestle at Dana College in Nebraska, where he earned NAIA All-American honors as a senior after finishing in fifth place at 157 pounds in 2006.

Henderson’s performance helped Dana College win the NAIA national championship that year.

He actually started MMA fighting a year later after a dare from a couple of Dana wrestlers.

“I live this this,” Henderson said. “This is what I do. I live this lifestyle. I’m a fighter.”

Yohane Griffin finishes second at Hershey meet Yohane Griffin finished up in second place at the 2012 Hershey’s Track and Field National Championships last weekend in Hershey, Pa. The 12-year-old Lakota Middle School student ran a personal-best time of 26.72 in the Boys 11-12 200-meter dash.

Johnathan Thomas from Fresno, Texas, won the event in a time of 25.84.

In total, seven Yohane Griffin kids from Washington attended the national meet in Hershey. The 9- to 14-year-olds qualified with performances at the Hershey State Track Meet, which was held at Mount Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma on June 30.

To qualify for the national meet, Washington athletes had to have the top time or distance in the entire region, not just the state. Washington’s region also includes Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, British Columbia and Alberta.

Environmental Review: Based upon review of ampleted environmental checklist and other information on file with the City, it is likely that the City of Federal Way will determine that the project will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment and expects to issue a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for this project. The optional DNS process in WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be your only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request.

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

Permits Required by This Application: Master Land Use Process III (File #12-103388-UP) and State Environmental Policy Act Threshold Determination (File #12-103403-SE) Other Permits Known at this Time and Not Included in This Application: Building, ROW, and Electrical Permit Existing Environmental Documents: Geotechnical Report, prepared by LSI Adapt, Inc. and Environmental Checklist Relevant Environmental Documents Are Available at the Address Below: Yes Development Regulations to Be Used for Project Review Known at this Time: Federal Way Revised Code Title 14, ‘Environmental Policy’ and Title 19 ‘Zoning and Development Code.’ Public Comment & Appeals: Any person may submit written comments on the land use application or the environmental impacts of the proposal to the Director of Community and Economic Development by 5:00 p.m. on August 27, 2012. Only persons who submit written comments to the Director (address below) or specifically request a copy of the decision, may appeal the decision. However, any interested party may appeal the environmental threshold determination. Details of appeal procedures for the requested land use decision will be included with the written decision.

Issuance of Final Environmental Determination: The final Determination of Nonsignificance may be issued without a second comment period, unless timely comments identify probable significant adverse impacts that were not considered by the Notice of Optional Determination of Nonsignificance.

A copy of the Determination of Nonsignificance may be obtained upon request.

Availability of File: The official project file is available for public review at the Department of Community and Economic Development, 33325 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003-6325.

Hanson, Oh Boy! Oberto win third-straight Albert Lee Cup

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

On a postcard perfect Sunday morning in the Pacific Northwest, the final day of racing at the 2012 Albert Lee Cup at Seafair got underway.

When the waters of Lake Washington settled at the end of the day, Steve David in the Oh Boy! Oberto had won the fourth stop on the 2012 Air National Guard H1 Hydroplane tour and his third straight Seafair Race.

The crew chief of the Oh Boy! Oberto is Mike Hanson, a 1979 graduate of Federal Way High School. Hanson has been the crew chief of the unlimited hydroplane for several years after moving out of the cockpit.

Hanson is the only former unlimited hydroplane driver to take over as a boat’s crew chief.

He oversees the hydroplane’s setup and race strategy, and communicates with David. Hanson stepped into the crew chief position with the Miss Oh Boy! Oberto following the 2003

season after 23 years piloting a hydroplane.

Hanson drove for the Miss Budweiser, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, DeWalt, Jasper Engines and Jones Racing. In 2001, Hanson won the Gold Cup while driving the Tubby’s Grilled Submarines, his most memorable hydroplane experience.

In the final race on Sunday, David and the Oh Boy! Oberto snagged the inside lane and cruised to victory in front of a huge crowd on Lake Washington.
