King County released its first Equity and Social Justice Report this week, with the findings of the report showing that inequities exist along the lines of place, race and income in the county. The report found that King County is increasingly diverse, with the non-white population of the county growing 13 percent from 1980 to 2010, with non-white residents making up 35 percent of the total population. That trend is only expected to continue upward because of the fact that 50 percent of King County residents under age 18 are now non-white. More than 100 languages are spoken throughout King County and 11 percent of county residents over age 5 have limited English proficiency, according to the county. The report looked at the 14 “determinants” of equity, which are described as “the conditions in which county residents are born, grow, live, work and age.” Baselines were established and areas where [ more INEQUITY, p. 22 ]

Michael Velling and Suzanne Altamare faced off in Quicksand, a 10-minute sculpting battle judged by the audience. Velling won with his version of a unicorn.
The wife of a wealthy Federal Way widower is accused of stealing part of the elderly man’s fortune. Juliana Min Cratsenberg, 59, faces first-degree theft charges. Her arraignment was set for Aug. 23 at the King County Courthouse (after press time). Prosecutors say Juliana Cratsenberg has no criminal history, according to charging documents. The alleged theft occurred from Sept. 2009 and Jan. 2011. Andrew C. Cratsenberg, 86, is a self-made millionaire who found success in commercial and residential real estate and developments. The
family business includes Cratsenberg Enterprises, formed with his sons, and Cratsenberg Properties LLC, formed with his late wife, Luetta, who died in January 2008. According to an investigation by Federal Way police, the elder Cratsenberg had been showing signs of dementia, possibly for years, before his “unexpected wedding” to Juliana in March 2009. His sons had learned of the marriage a week later through a friend, according to police. The investigation states that Cratsenberg’s sons took legal action to obtain a vulnerable adult protection order. The sons wanted [ more FORTUNE, page 22 ]

New AmeriCorps director has deep roots in Federal Way Mirror staff reports
Debbie McGee will be the new director for AmeriCorps, bringing a wealth of experience of both education, business and service to the position. The new director said she’s excited to be in her new position and hopes to continue to the work that Federal Way AmeriCorps has performed in the past. “The passion and commitment for service radiates from every AmeriCorps member and their desire to make a difference in the lives of our students is amazing,” McGee said. McGee was a marketing teacher and communications director for Federal Way Public Schools
The Federal Way AmeriCorps program volunteers consistently help residents in the Westway neighborhood. MIRROR FILE PHOTO (FWPS) from 1992-1999. She’s familiar with the unique make-up of Federal Way’s diverse student population. Along with that, McGee held executive positions at World Vision and Capital One, and has worked as a career and life coach. She has also worked as an AmeriCorps trainer. In her position as director, McGee will oversee a team of 60 AmeriCorps
members. The organization provides tutoring and other after school programs for Federal Way students at 33 schools across the district. One of the larger projects Federal Way AmeriCorps helped FWPS students create a public art display in Celebration Park. The theme of the art project was focused on anti-bullying efforts. McGee replaces Monda Holsinger, who has retired after serving as director of AmeriCorps since its inception in 1995. The program grew to become one of the largest in the nation. Holsinger and the Federal Way AmeriCorps program received the 2007 St. Francis Humanitarian of the Year Award, sponsored by the Franciscan Foundation. “The Federal Way AmeriCorps team has touched the lives of thousands of children and their families,” McGee said. “The impact of the team’s national service reaches across the U.S. through the member’s lives that have been impacted and the lives of the students who have gone off to college. I look forward to continuing the wonderful legacy that has been established here in Federal Way.”

Hubby goes on tequila bender CRIME
This week’s…

Police Blotter
Early morning Sunday, Aug. 19, a driver crashed through this gate on 17th Ave. SW in the Cascade Ridge Apartment complex in Federal Way. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror
Suspect crashes through apartment complex gate By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
Washington State Patrol troopers pursued a DUI suspect who crashed into a Federal Way apartment complex. Troopers called Federal Way police for assistance at 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, as they chased the driver through city limits. WSP had tried arresting the driver on suspicion of DUI and hit and run while the vehicle was stopped on Highway 18, police said. The driver allegedly fought with a state trooper and dragged him down the roadway as he was trying to make the arrest, according to police. The driver apparently crashed the vehicle through
a security gate at Cascade Ridge Apartments at 1900 SW Campus Drive. “It sounded like a bomb went off, it was so loud,” reported one resident who lives in the nearby Arcadia townhouses. The smashed vehicle was found outside building 29 in the apartment complex. The driver fled on foot. Federal Way police attempted a K9 track, and Guardian One helicopters circled overhead in search of the suspect. At 4:22 a.m., a resident in the 1500 block of SW 325th Place called 911 to report an unknown man knocking on their door, according to police. State patrol responded to the call and took custody of the suspect from Federal Way police.
The suspect was booked into King County jail with charges pending for DUI, two counts of hit and run, and eluding law enforcement. The hit and run incident took place at I-5 and South 320th Street in Federal Way, the state patrol reports. The suspect allegedly caused a two-car collision and continued driving, then pulled over on westbound Highway 18. The driver fell asleep while waiting for troopers to arrive, according to the state patrol. The suspect then led a “slow speed pursuit” along South 348th Street, eventually turning onto 17th Avenue SW and crashing through the gated entrance of Cascade Ridge Apartments.
Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Husband’s bender concerns wife: At 5:49 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 100 block of SW 307th Place, a wife contacted South King Fire and Rescue to have them come out and check on her husband. According to the report, the wife stated that her husband had been drinking tequila “24/7” for the last six days. The report notes that SKFR checked the husband out and that the husband was OK and not overly intoxicated. Also, according to the report, both husband and wife stated to authorities that they believe the other drinks too much. • Identity thief: At 10:55 a.m. Aug. 20 in the 1900 block of SW 318th Place, the victim reported that an unknown suspect had gained access to her Capital One credit card account, and changed all the relevant information for the account. According to the report, the unknown suspect also used the victim’s information to open two new credit cards, and had a new card from Capitol One sent to an unknown address. • Pellet gun bandits damage windows: At 11:38 a.m. Aug. 20 in the 1600 block of South 341st Place, the victim reported that unknown suspects had damaged 11 windows at their business. According to the report, it appeared
that the suspects had damaged the windows by shooting a pellet gun at them. The report notes that the estimated damage to the windows was about $16,500. • Stupid is as stupid does: At 10:42 a.m. Aug. 20 in the 1900 block of South Commons, the suspect attempted to purchase items from Macy’s using a forged/ stolen check. According to the report, upon a further search of the subject, drug paraphernalia, more stolen checks, stolen IDs and stolen credit cards were all on the suspect’s person. • Vehicle gets a double whammy: At 2:01 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 1300 block of SW Campus Drive, the victim reported that their vehicle had been vandalized. According to the report, unknown suspects had left scratches that ran the length of the vehicle. The report also notes that the vehicle was egged with an undetermined number of eggs. The victim believed they knew who was responsible, but could not provide any evidence to substantiate the claim. • Armed robbery for a tablet PC: At 3:07 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 2200 block of South Star Lake Road, the victim was robbed of a Samsung Galaxy tablet. According to the report, the victim had listed the tablet for sale, and three men had shown up and expressed interest in buying it. At one point, one of the suspects took the tablet from the victim and told the victim that the victim’s friend owed the suspect $50. The victim attempted to take the tablet back, at which point the
suspect flashed a handgun. The three suspects then left the area. • Storage facility raided: At 2:39 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 35000 block of Pacific Highway South, it was reported that multiple storage lockers at a commercial storage facility had been broken into. The report notes that the crime was likely committed by a known suspect, and an unknown accomplice. • Man gets assaulted by ex-girlfriend: At 11:25 p.m. Aug. 20 in the 31000 block of 1st Avenue South, the victim’s exgirlfriend showed up at victim’s residence, wanting to see their daughter. According to the report, the victim refused, at which point the woman assaulted him by hitting him on the head, biting his forearm and scratching his neck. The suspect left the area and was unable to be located by police. • Samaritan follows drunk driver: At 2:56 a.m. Aug. 19 in the 30000 block of 9th Avenue South, a witness noticed the suspect was driving erratically. The witness followed the suspect home to their residence, and then contacted police. According to the report, police found the suspect passed out in the driver’s seat and strongly smelling of booze. The suspect was cited for DUI. • Something seems fishy: At 7:46 a.m. Aug. 19 in the 30000 block of 18th Avenue South, the victim’s vehicle was broken into. Entry was gained by smashing out a window. According to the report, the victim’s iPod and ignition interlock device were stolen.

Federal Way police offer free online crime data

Housing developer addresses wildlife By GREG ALLMAIN
From staff reports
gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
Crime prevention received a boost in Federal Way with a new web service that provides residents with free access to neighborhood crime data throughout the city. The police department is bringing CrimeReports. com to the community through the city’s website at www.cityoffederalway. com/crimereport. The new service offers free customizable email updates so that residents can monitor crime in their neighborhood. The online CrimeReports information is updated every morning and contains the past six months of crime data.
The Soundview Manor project is set to create 21 single-family lots on a 9.01-acre property near Dash Point Road and 44th Avenue SW. The project has some residents concerned about its possible impact on the environment in the area, which includes a small stream and wetlands that feed into the Dumas Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Local resident Marie Larrison is also concerned about the project’s impact on flora and fauna. “I think these guys (the city and the developers) are taking a very narrow view of the whole issue of the wetland and its impact
on the wildlife sanctuary,” Larrison said. “I don’t think they know what kind of wildlife use that area. It’s heavily wooded, so they’re going to have to bring bulldozers and who knows what else in there. We just think it’s going to have a significant adverse impact.” The city feels otherwise. The project has met a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) determination of non-significance for its impact on the environment, said city spokesman Chris Carrel. The SEPA decision was issued Aug. 3, 2012. Approximately 30 percent of the site will remain undeveloped in a combination of landscaped areas, wetland buffer area (for the off-site wetland) and open space,
Carrel said. “The wetland is actually located off-site, while buffer areas are on the Soundview Manor property,” he said. “SEPA provides for a thorough review of possible impacts to the local environment.”
Past controversy and petition The project, which was originally submitted in 2007, has had something of a rocky road in getting approved. At one point, the project’s scope was larger, with the initial proposal set to develop 28 single-family lots, and also create a connecting roadway between Dash Point Road and the Twin Lakes neighborhood. In 2008, more than 500 residents signed a petition and approximately 50 residents wrote letters in opposition to the road connection being part of the project. The developer and city have since dropped that part of the project, according to Carrel. Regardless of the determinations of the city, Larrison still feels the city and developer are missing the bigger picture. “I think somebody just looked at a map that shows streets and lots and parks,” she said. “There’s all kinds of wildlife that come here. Ducks, mallards, even sea otters.” The next step for the project, according to Carrel, is a hearing in front of the hearing examiner. The city
Local resident Marie Larrison is also concerned about the project’s impact on flora and fauna. GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror council will then hear the issue at a special meeting and issue a final decision on the Soundview Manor preliminary plat. According to the state Department of Ecology, the comment period for a SEPA determination of non-significance is typically 14 days, although that time period can vary. The date for the hearing examiner has not yet been set, according to signs placed on the property.
In a summary report provided to The Mirror by the city, the city touches on the issues of the stream and wetlands. The report notes that the developer is aware of both the stream and wetland issues, and has included mitigation in its proposal for any potential impact on either. The developer has indicated that buffers will be constructed to control drainage and stormwater runoff and maintain the wetlands.

Photo tickets: Shame on reckless drivers I’m very tired of reading from the poor people who have to pay a fine because they are speeding in school zones or hitting a red light. When you hit a red light, you put all the people who have green in a life danger situation and take the right away from other traffic members. Who do you think you are — to give you the right to do this? I never did. Speeding in school zones and getting a ticket from a camera — why do you complain? It never happened to me because I drive the speed limit. You are endangering the lives of

Congress incumbents are safe After redistricting, most of the congressional incumbents remained in the “safe” column. In the contested races with a candidate that might have a chance of defeating an incumbent, the primary serves the purpose of separating “real” candidates from pretenders. The big money groups and the national parties watch to see if a candidate can hold an incumbent under 50 percent. If they can’t, then they won’t get much outside help. Money always makes a big difference in who is going to win because the districts are large and money creates name familiarity. But this year two candidates, one from each party, have contributed significant amounts of personal money that has made them competitive. The redrawn 9th District, which includes Federal Way, isn’t one of those likely to be close. It became more Democratic and incumbent Adam Smith walked off with 61 percent of the vote against a weak field. Some of the local media endorsed Smith outright and didn’t even go through the pretense of endorsing a second candidate for the general election. Smith will win comfortably in November. In the 8th District, Auburn Republican incumbent Dave Reichert polled almost 51 percent. Reichert has had several close calls, but redistricting moved the district farther east, and he picked up more Republican territory.
Also, it doesn’t appear his disagreement with AARP over the Affordable Care Act has caused any backlash. The partisan voters in the district are about equal, but voters who “lean” Republican made a big difference as the Republican vote almost doubled the Democratic vote. Reichert’s November opponent will be Democrat Karen Porterfield, who won 28 percent of the vote. Porterfield is from Issaquah, but has a Federal Way connection. She helped with fundraising efforts when our Boys and Girls Club was raising money for the youth center. Reichert, the former King County Sheriff, is the likely winner. New Congressional District 10 takes in much of Pierce County and goes south to Olympia. There is no incumbent, but three well known candidates filed. Former Democratic legislative powerhouse Denny Heck is considered the front-runner, but 39.7 percent of the vote was lower than expected, although it may be misleading. Another Democrat picked up about 12 percent of the vote. Republican Pierce County Council members Dick Muri and Stan Fleming were in the race with Muri having an almost 2-1 vote advantage. Both Heck and Muri have run for Congress before and lost. Muri against Adam Smith in the old 9th District, and Heck ran against Jaime Herrera-Beutler in the old [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

Federal Way loves a good parking lot. Last Saturday, The Commons mall was transformed into the destination it was meant to be, thanks to surplus parking. The mall’s parking lot hosted a classic car show, a sand sculpting festival and a farmers market. The events claimed their own sections of asphalt that stretched from Sears to Macy’s. The Northwest Sand Festival continues through Sept. 3, and the Federal Way Farmers Market runs Saturdays through October. The three festivals combined last Saturday to test and prove the potential for the parking lot. What is that potential? The ability to attract a crowd. As a host for cultural and family activities, the mall adds another dimension to the city’s economy. The mall enhances quality of life by playing the role of a central destination — a common space where people come together to play and seek entertainment. Saturday’s steady crowd buzzed along with live music and announcements. Note the word “crowd.” The mall’s parking lot bustled with people of all shapes and sizes and incomes and interests. The mall has hosted such events for years. The parking lot is the de-facto town square, chosen by the people of Federal Way over the years, whether they knew it or not. Let’s pause for a moment and consider the empty AMC Theatres and Toys R’ Us parking lots located near the transit center. Those sites are mired in negotiations for ambitious developments. Last year, one of the giant empty parking lots became home to the Federal Way Farmers Market every Saturday. The Commons is a more visible and accommodating site for the market. However, the market and all these other events need a flat pedestrianfriendly promenade with easy public access. They are willing to settle for the striped asphalt in the mall’s outskirts. I have not discussed the following idea with the mall’s management. Nothing they can do about it anyway. Therefore, this plea goes to Steadfast Companies, the mall’s owner, which is headquartered in California. Please consider the potential for The Commons mall to become the top community destination in Federal Way. The mall can amplify its power as a people magnet by remodeling the outskirts of the parking lot. A landscaped promenade, for example, would equip the parking lot with the means to host and stage events all year long. Maybe the bricked walkways could lead more customers into the mall, but you’re more of an expert on that stuff. [ more HOBBS, page 7 ]

Le Moulin Rouge paints FUSION green
[ ROEGNER from page 6] 3rd District. Heck spent $100,000 of his own money in the primary and has to be considered the frontrunner as the Democratic vote was 52 percent to 44 percent. The 1st District up in the Snohomish County area is an open seat due to Jay Inslee’s decision to run for governor. It was one of the hottest races in the state as four well known Democrats competed for the right to face Republican John Koster. Koster is a county councilman and has run for Congress before. He polled 45 percent, which would appear to be a strong number, in a race for an open seat, where the Democratic leader Suzan Delbene only polled 22.5 percent. But that is misleading. The overall Democratic vote surpassed Koster by more than 12,000 votes, which suggests that if the Democratic vote unites behind Delbene in the fall, she could win. Delbene spent almost $2 million of her own money to secure the nomination and flooded the airwaves
as a changed person. If you’re in for hobnobbing with local socialites, then that’s the place to be. How about indulging yourself to an A-class cabaret-like treat? That, too, is the spot. Socially, Federal Way has been gradually inching its way to becoming a city with a robust and sophisticated palate. Coupled with a ton of bragging rights, it is spilling over with many of the affectations for which other noted cities the world over are known. Our fair city had to dance to the beats of many drums, culturally, to find itself. Nowadays it is a mecca for trendsetting. You don’t have to look long and hard to see some of the great things that are happening here. Steeped in diversity, top restaurants like Indochine, East India Grill, the Verrazano, among others, can compete with some of the best in New York City. We have Olympians. We have the state-of-the-art aquatic center. And we have Peggy LaPorte – the golden-hearted doyenne of chic, charm, and character. Le Moulin Rouge, which literally means the “red windmill,” is named for a famous nightclub in Paris. Josephine Baker and Patti LaBelle are two American women of note that have brought much interest over the years of that storied place. But while Baker was not at FUSION 2012 to perform her cancan dance and LaBelle singing, “Voulez vous coucher avec mo ce soir,” from her 1975 hit — “Lady Marmalade” — we Nandell Palmer

Americans are fascinated with Paris. And you can count on things Parisian to transform any run-of-themill soiree into one of glamour and conviviality should you be stumped for ideas. For ladies especially, Paris is among the top five must-see destinations on their bucket list. While the national economy is still in the “I-think-can” mode, many of us are forced to forego exotic vacations and settle for those closer to home. Creative minds have even willed international vacation spots to meet us where we are. The power of imagination! How else would you explain the annual FUSION shindig — the mother of all social events in Federal Way — that transformed the grounds of Dumas Bay Centre into the famed Moulin Rouge a few Wednesdays ago? And just who can ever fault that corps of gifted volunteers for pushing the envelope to the zenith? If your region’s topography boasts vast expanses of water, verdant fields and hills, complemented by blue skies, why not make the element your canvas? Who needs to go to Paris and Tuscany when they can come to you? Each summer, FUSION puts on a time-stopping event, one of the grandest highlights of our city. This benevolent organization has been changing women and children’s lives en masse for 19 years, and has made it an art form to tantalize our taste buds and give us a deeper appreciation for life. It’s impossible to go to one of FUSION’s events and not walk away
with commercials the past few weeks. Uniting the party might be the hard part, not money, as there is likely some hard feelings over some of the tactics that surfaced in the primary. If she unites the party base, she should win. If not, Koster will win. Democrat Norm Dicks held sway in the 6th District for 30 years and is retiring. It was expected to be an easy race for well regarded Democratic State Sen. Derek Kilmer as he cleared the field of any other Democrats prior to filing. And Kilmer did get 53 percent of the vote. But a late entrant, Republican Bill Driscoll, may make this a race. Driscoll spent $540,000 of his own money to secure the nomination. While he only got 18 percent of the vote and the Republican total was only 44 percent, Driscoll has the personal wealth, is a Weyerhaeuser descendant, and has the contacts to attract independents. Kilmer has to be favored and should win. Though he is a long shot, Driscoll could make it close if the Republicans get their voters
were kept entertained by dancers and live music throughout. To give off that Parisian feel, a few men donned tuxedoes and top hats, while a handful of women paraded about regally attired in red and black ensembles, finished off with boas. And what is Paris without its succulent food? Catered by Café Pacific, frommage station, which dotted the grounds, offered cheeses of all descriptions; herbed crustini, Boules de Picolat (meatballs in Bordelaise); assorted crepes with a béchamel, paired nicely with fine wines, had quite a rendezvous with the senses. Instead of painting the town red as Le Moulin Rouge is symbolically known, the windmill toned down that temptation and blew the color green all evening. The organization hauled in a record $137,000. It’s just a matter of time before FUSION becomes more renowned nationally and internationally. All it needs now are a few ambassadors and consuls among its estimable audience to give it that global flair. One telephone call to the Seattle’s diplomatic corps from LaPorte could usher in just that. Overlooking Dumas Bay as the sunset and the evening drew to a close, I felt the grand pampering of the event. The backdrop of colorful wild flowers that jutted above the waterway added to the ambiance that is unmatched by the Seine, the Eiffel Tower or the Champs-Elysées all put together.

to the polls. In other races the incumbents, as expected, ran well and do not appear to have any major problems in getting re-elected. In the 2nd District, up north, Democrat Rick Larson took 57 percent of the vote. In the 3rd District in the Vancouver area, Republican Jaime Herrera-Beutler took 56 percent. As a side note, watch her for the future. She is likely being groomed for bigger things by party leaders. In the 4th District, in the Pasco area, Republican Doc Hastings won 59 percent of the vote. Over in Spokane, Republican Cathy McMorris-Rodgers won with almost 56 percent. In the 7th District in Seattle, •
Democrat Jim McDermott took 71 percent of the vote. As the general election unfolds, watch Districts 1 and 10 with an occasional look at Districts 6 and 8. The others are pretty well decided. In the race for the U.S. Senate, Maria Cantwell took almost 56 percent to Michael Baumgartner’s 30 percent. Cantwell will coast. The Democrats “Get Out The Vote” campaign was strong statewide, but some hot button issues should help bring more Republicans to the polls. Watch for the turnout and where the special interest money goes.

Federal Way attorney dies after car plunges off overpass in Tacoma Mirror staff reports
A Federal Way man died around noon Wednesday when his car plunged off an overpass near downtown Tacoma. The Tacoma News Tribune reports that Scott Jablon, 58, lost control of his Ford Taurus on State Route 509 while on his way
www.federalwaymirror.com to meet a friend for lunch. The car plummeted 32 feet off the overpass and landed in Interstate 705, according to the report. Troopers suspect Jablon may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash, according to the report. The family is awaiting autopsy results. Jablon was an attorney who occasionally wrote letters to the Federal Way Mirror, most recently in July to support state representative candidate Linda Kochmar. Jablon was active in Republican politics in the Federal Way area.
...obituaries • Louella Rose CRANDALL • Louella Rose (Lockwood) Crandall passed away August 18, 2012 from pancreatic cancer. She was born November 23, 1933 in Tacoma, WA to Christian W. and Ruth (Eagan) Lockwood. Early in her youth Lou’s older brother Don left home to fight the war in the Pacific Theater while she took on the responsibilities of helping raise her two younger brothers, Raymond and David, and taking care of Multiple Sclerosis patients living in their home. By her late teens she found herself working in the emergency room and supervising nurses with the hopes of becoming a degreed nurse. This time began forming the foundation that embodied Lou’s philosophy of life – to fill the need and make it happen. She would hold true to this philosophy throughout her life with service to her family, friends and communities. On January 21, 1952 Lou married her sweetheart, Charles F. “Chuck” Crandall, with whom she would spend the next 53 years. As hotel managers they made multiple moves around the country before settling in Des Moines, WA where they began raising their two sons. Early in the 1960s Chuck’s career with The Boeing Company took the family to Alabama where Lou and Chuck became involved with Vista and the civil rights movement. Teaching sharecropper’s basic hygiene, repairing homes, digging wells, and transporting families for inoculations were part of Lou’s daily life in the South. She was most proud of the actions she and Dee Olson took which forced the Huntsville City Council to recognize the Federal law that provided meals to school children regardless of race. Today, Lou’s name is found on the Wall of Tolerance in the Civil Rights Memorial Center, Montgomery, AL, as her pledge to continue her commitment to work in her daily life for justice, equality and human rights – the ideals for which the civil rights martyrs died. Upon returning to Des Moines, WA Lou reacquainted herself with the St. Philomena community. Lifelong friends were made during the Crisio movement and Lou encouraged Chuck’s pursuit of spiritual growth with the Deaconate program. Later she would join Chuck with helping others pursue their spiritual growth by teaching RCIA (Right of Christian Initiation of Adults). Lou spent over 21 years working at Highline Community College. During that time, at the age of 63, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Human Services & Education at Western Washington University which enabled her to become the Nursing Program Coordinator. After retirement Lou continued service to her community working tirelessly to feed those in need at the Nativity House, distribute layettes for “crack babies”, volunteer at food banks, and numerous other service activities. After Chuck’s death and feeling a void, Lou met a family with two year old twins and newborn triplets who needed her as much she needed them! They would become her “kids” and form an everlasting bond. A memorial mass will be held on Saturday, September 1, 2012 at 11:00 AM at St. Philomena Catholic Church in Des Moines, WA. Lou was preceded in death by Chuck and her brothers Don and Raymond. She is survived by her sons Allen (Martha) and Stephen (Rebekah); grandchildren Joshua (Hallie) and JoAnna; great-grandchildren Taylor, Benjamin and Jensen; brother David (Carol); numerous nieces and nephews; and her “kids” Jackson, Xavier, Gillian, Ronan and Isaiah. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Pediatric Interim Care Center (PICC) at 253-852-5253 (e-mail: picc@picc.net; website: www.picc.net), Angels for Hope (e-mail: cindy@angelsforhope.org; website: www.angelsforhope.org), or Seattle Children’s Orthopedic Hospital at 800-635-1432 (web site: www.seattlechildrens.org).

Medical marijuana dispensary owners face prison time By STEVE HUNTER Kent Reporter
The owners of two different marijuana distribution enterprises in Seattle pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to drug trafficking, admitting they were selling large quantities of marijuana for profit, in violation of federal and state law. Brionne K. Corbray, 47, owner and operator of three G.A.M.E Collectives in White Center, Northeast Seattle and West Seattle pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office media release. Corbray operated a marijuana dispensary in Federal Way in 2010 and 2011 before the city ordered a moratorium on such facilities. Craig Douglas Dieffenbach, 61, and Jingjing Mo, 31, owners of Seattle Cannabis Cooperative with locations in the Rainier Valley and Greenwood, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Corbray is scheduled for sentencing by the Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez on Nov. 16. Dieffenbach and Mo are scheduled for sentencing by Chief Judge Marsha J. Pechman on Dec. 6. Both drug distribution companies were identified by law enforcement last October for selling large amounts of marijuana in violation of federal and state law. “These drug fronts had little to do with ‘compassionate care’ and everything to do with lining their own pockets,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “While we will not prosecute ill people or their true care providers, we also will not let common drug dealers masquerade as something they are not.” “These defendants have accepted responsibility for their illegal actions which exposes the truth of what is happening in our community,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Matthew
G. Barnes. “There is no accommodation in either state or federal law which allows marijuana storefronts to openly operate within the state of Washington. The United States Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that its distribution and sale is a serious federal crime. The DEA remains fully committed to enforcing federal drug laws throughout the Pacific Northwest.” According to the facts admitted in Corbray’s plea agreement, undercover agents were able to purchase marijuana at his establishments on multiple occasions without a valid medical authorization. At some of the locations agents purchased both hashish and marijuana. At the White Center location, Corbray encouraged customers to consume or smoke marijuana on the premises while also drinking alcohol. Corbary was also alleged to have promoted after-hours parties where both alcohol and marijuana were served. Corbray admits purchasing a 2007 Mercedes Benz E550W for $34,000 cash. The money was drug proceeds and the car is being forfeited to the federal government. In the plea agreements for Dieffenbach and Mo, each admits operating the marijuana stores for profit, selling pound quantities of marijuana to people who presented no medical authorization card. In her plea agreement, Mo admits offering to sell 25 pounds of marijuana for distribution across the country. The couple also admits laundering funds from the sale of marijuana to pay to modify homes for marijuana production. Conspiracy to distribute marijuana is punishable by up to 40 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Conspiracy to launder money is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The cases were investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Vince Lombardi.

Photos show Joanne Atkerson with her son, Blake, the first baby born 25 years ago at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way. Blake will graduate from law school this year. COURTESY PHOTO measuring 21 inches. “The whole experience was like a fantasy,” said Joanne Atkerson, fondly remembering the day. With her due date still a week off, Joanne hadn’t expected to be the one out of a dozen expectant mothers to deliver the hospital’s first baby. “Because Blake was the first baby born, we won a number of prizes, including a limousine ride home, diapers for a year, free formula, a crib mattress, clothes … there was so much. We donated some of the prizes to needy families in the area because we already had some of the items.”
Catching up “I ran track in high school and did fairly well,” Blake recalled with a laugh. “I’ve always thought it was an analogy about me that I always work hard to be the first.” St. Francis has much to be proud of in its First Baby. The Atkerson family lived in the area until Blake was six. When his parents separated, Blake and his mom, Joanne, moved to California. When Blake graduated from high school, he was named Most Outstanding Teen. This year, 25 years after his auspicious start at St. Francis, he will graduate from the University of California Hastings College of Law. “I have focused my attention on health law issues,” said Blake, who was inspired by his own health care experience. During his junior year in college, Blake hit his head and suffered a brain injury. After five days in ICU, the bleeding stopped, but his doctors predicted he would have learning disabilities and wouldn’t finish college. Instead, he went on to graduate with honors and continue on to law school. “During my first year of law school, I realized how little courts understood about how doctors make
decisions, how hospitals are run, and the role of scientific data,” he said. “It’s an attorney’s job to help them understand.”
Fond memories at St. Francis Although they lived in the area for only a short time, Joanne’s experience at St. Francis left a positive effect on the proud mom. “Everyone was incredible. It was the launching of the birthing suites, and they were like hotel rooms. It made it so special, even more so because this was my first and only child,” she said. “After I had Blake I wanted to give back, and did volunteer work at St. Francis for a couple of years at the hospital’s gift shop.” The family also attended many of the events hosted by the new hospital, including barbecues and annual Easter egg hunts. Joanne also encouraged Blake to become involved in volunteering at a young age. He helped out at senior centers and made soup for those less fortunate. “He has a heart of gold, and understands the value of giving to others,” she said. And what does Blake think about being the first baby born at St. Francis? “More props go to my mom,” he laughed. “Someone else was in labor at the time, but I was first. I’m still grateful to my mom, first for going through labor pains to have me and then never leaving my side after that. I’ve done a lot in a quarter century, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her getting me here.”
FYI: St. Francis St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way, which is part of the non-profit Franciscan Health System, opened on May 6, 1987. St. Francis was the first and remains the only hospital in Federal Way, and now has more than 1,000 employees.

Local artists earn honors at annual Seattle Tattoo Expo By JOSH NELSON For The Mirror
Two Federal Way tattoo artists brought home awards from the recent Seattle Tattoo Expo. Jose Camarillo won Best Portrait of the Year for his work on Melissa Brown and a picture of her father. Peter Dominguez won Best Tattoo of the Day for Saturday, with a skull warrior designed by Matt Dixon, placed on the inner bicep of Derrick Burke’s right arm. The expo ran Aug. 10-12 at Seattle Center. “It’s a little bit competitive there,” said Camarillo. “Sometimes if an artist loses they’ll get butt-hurt and accuse the judges of favoritism.” Dominguez agrees that the competition is usually heated, and said that there’s usually 30 or more entrants per category. In regards to Tattoo of the Day: “Saturday is the busiest day at the expo. It was intense because everyone is out to get Saturday’s award, it can get kind of stressful,” said Dominguez. While both artists received awards, the criteria for each was far from similar. In order to win Best Portrait, the desired tattoo must be completed and healed by the time the expo begins. A side-by-side comparison must also be made at the judging, requiring the artist to bring a photo reference. “Melissa’s tattoo took about three sessions. She chose a picture of her dad working with some parts he designed, which are now on the Hubble Space Telescope,” said Camarillo. Winning Best Tattoo of the Day is a little different. The piece must be started at the expo, and be turned in to be judged by 9 p.m. that day. “Derrick sat for seven hours, with only one 20-minute break. He was in a super awkward position the whole time,” said Dominguez. “Gotta give him props for that, because it’s something I could never do myself.” Although both artists are happy with their achievements, they didn’t go to the Seattle Tattoo Expo specifically to win awards. “I go there mainly to tattoo,” said Camarillo. “But when I was thinking about which pieces I wanted judged, I knew right away
which piece to choose.” Dominguez felt that there’s more to the expo than just winning. “Winning is nice, but it’s more to show off our skills,” said Dominguez. “To show that you can go down to Federal Way and get an awesome tattoo. We went to showcase our art and our abilities.”

The Todd Beamer Titans rolled into the quarterfinals of the state tournament a season ago, but head coach Joel Lindberg graduated nine seniors from that team. But that doesn’t mean the Titans don’t have a lot of firepower coming back. Leading the list is senior forward Jenny Hoefel, who led Beamer in scoring, was named the Most Valuable Player in the SPSL South and a first-team, All-State selection.

STUDY SKILLS :: COLLEGE PREP
Expectations are high around the Federal Way High School football program this fall. But that is just what goes along with returning 14 starters from a team that rolled through the South Puget Sound League unbeaten last season, including a handful of possible Division-I recruits for longtime head coach John Meagher. “Our goal is to win state,” said the 6-foot-2, 235-pound Rod Jones, who is getting looks from several college programs. “We want to be better than last year.” For what it’s worth, several preseason prognosticators have the Eagles ranked as one of the top-five teams in Class 4A and as the favorites to repeat their SPSL South title. Federal Way rolled through the regular season a perfect 10-0 before losing in the first round of the Class 4A State Playoffs to Eastlake. Jones is joined on the college recruiting radar by wide receiver Mike Tate, linebacker Albert Havili, defensive back D’Londo

...FALL SPORTS PREVIEW [ fall sports from page 16] finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists for the Titans. Decatur was the other district team to advance to the state tournament a season ago. The Gators won a penalty-kick shootout over Capital to qualify. Decatur returns several talented players, led by defender Maggie Hale and goalkeeper Ericka Budinich. The Gator defense finished the season with six shutouts. Jefferson came one win short of making the state tournament, but will be without Lindsay Dahl this year. Dahl finished with 28 goals in TJ’s 18 matches. Federal Way is looking to rebuild after winning five games in the SPSL South last year. The Eagles return sophomore Gabriela Pelogi, who led the team with seven goals last year.
Boys tennis Federal Way High and the state of Washington will be missing a big name this fall. Mitch Stewart is not turning out for school tennis, allowing him to concentrate more on national-level tournaments. Stewart, who won the Class 4A state championship a season ago, is turning out for the Eagles’ cross country team. Stewart, who is one of the top-ranked 16-year-olds in the country, is currently in New York City accomplishing the goal of every junior tennis player in the country. Stewart plays his first-round match today at the U.S. Open Junior Tournament. Earlier this summer, Stewart won the USTA National Clay Court championship. Jefferson returns another
deep team after winning the SPSL championship a season ago. The Raiders return several players, including state veteran Alex Lee, seniors Richard Ban, Abishek Murali and Tyler Hamashima, juniors Vivek Ramanujan and Zach Martin, and sophomore Cameron Martin.
Cross country As has been the case for the past 11 years, the Thomas Jefferson Raider girls were the dominant program in Federal Way again last season. During that stretch, the Raiders have qualified for the state meet as a team, last year finishing in ninth place overall. But TJ will be without its three top runners from a season ago with the graduation of Leah Kiyohara, Amanda Ditzhazy and Vanessa Church. So the Raiders will be counting on several newcomers this fall. The Beamer and Federal Way girls will also have a state veteran on their rosters this fall. Beamer features sophomore Paige Hallstrom, who was 60th as a ninth-grader, and Khiana Duncan was 78th overall for the Eagles. On the boys’ side, Beamer is shaping up to be the class of Federal Way. Last season, the Titans finished in 15th overall at the state meet and bring back their three top runners in juniors Haftom Tafere and Blake Hansen and sophomore Austin Jex. Tafere was the top finisher at the state meet last year in 58th place. Jex was 97th and Hansen was 100th overall. The only other boy from the district to run at state was Jefferson’s Yohan Ge-

Chris Williams, a Decatur grad, takes over for longtime Federal Way coach Jean Licari. Licari died after a long battle with cancer last spring.
Volleyball Recently, volleyball wins have been few and far between for the four Federal Way high schools. During the past four seasons, the programs at Beamer, Decatur, Jefferson and Federal Way have combined to win a grand total of 13 SPSL matches, which averages to under one win a season for each team. Last season, Beamer and Federal Way both finished with 1-7 league records, while Jefferson and Decatur were both winless. The Titans might have the best returning talent of any team in Federal Way in juniors Aliya Ranis and the 6-foot-1 Megan Huff, along with senior Sophie Miller.

Also back for the Gators will be Amanda Lehman, who played at the state tournament. Jefferson will also have another title contender this season. The Raiders rolled to the SPSL 4A championship a season ago and bring back a bulk of that team.

[ football from page 16] ago in D.J. May, Uso Olive and Jordan Pulu. May and Olive are both playing at Wyoming and Pulu is at Eastern Washington. “We did lose three star players, so it’s going to be different,” senior Albert Havili said. “But I still think we are going to be better than last year.” Federal Way will count on its two thumping middle linebackers — Jones and Havili — as well as a fast defensive backfield, led by Tucker, J.J. McNeal and Aaron Persinger. The defensive line will be anchored by 6-foot-3, 295-pound junior Jay-Tee Tiuli. “We are going to be real good,” said Tucker, who was a first-team, All-SPSL pick last year, along with McNeal. “A real good defense.” The Federal Way offense should also be potent. Senior Evan Elliot will have plenty of weapons to throw and hand-off to. The most explosive will be Tate. The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder finished with nearly 300 yards receiving and three touchdown catches, but constantly required double

teams. As a sophomore, he caught 45 passes for 645 yards and four touchdowns. Tate already has scholarship offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Portland State. But the receiver isn’t planning on making any commitments before the season starts. “I took a few unofficial visits and plan on taking my official visits this fall,” Tate said. The Eagles’ offense also will count on Jones at fullback and a pair of speedy running backs — senior Zeek McNeal and sophomore Chico McClatcher. Tucker will also be a do-everything guy, playing wide receiver, quarterback and running back and Morris is also a deep threat at receiver. The biggest question mark might be the offensive line. Havili is the lone returning starter up front for Federal Way. The Eagles jump right into their SPSL South schedule with a home game against Rogers Aug. 31. Federal Way’s stiffest tests might come in Week 3 when they host Graham-
Kapowsin Sept. 13 and a season-ending trip to Curtis on Oct. 26. “We are going to shock the state with how good we are,” Tate said. “During my sophomore and junior seasons, we were looked at as underdogs.”
Jefferson For the first time in the history of the football program, the Raiders advanced into the postseason last year and finished the season 5-5. But head coach Dean Peck lost several of the key players from that team. Jefferson returns only four starters on offense and four on defense. The biggest of those losses will be K.W. Williams. Last year, Williams led the SPSL in rushing yards with 1,282 as a quarterback. He also became the third QB in SPSL history to rush and pass for over 1,000 yards. He finished with 1,111 yards passing and 11 touchdowns. In total, Williams accounted for 26 touchdowns in nine games. Junior Niko DelaCruz, who played tailback last season, will take over the

quarterback duties and also is one of TJ’s better defensive backs. Other returners include two-way starter Kyle Dougherty, who plays wide receiver and defensive back, 6-foot-2, 230-pound lineman Michael Burt, wide receivers Phillip Cuadros and Paul Pinkney, linemen Dabrian Taylor and Geoff Lucas and linebacker Shane Seuame. The Raiders open on the road against the defending SPSL North champion Kentlake Falcons Aug. 31 at French Field. Kentlake, along with Kentwood, Tahoma and Auburn, are early-season favorites to snag the North’s four postseason berths.
Beamer The Titans had a disappointing season last year, finishing with a 2-8 record in the SPSL South. But firstyear head coach Darren McKay has infused some life into the program after being hired by Beamer earlier in the summer. McKay comes to Beamer after coaching Gig Harbor for the past 12 seasons. Offensively, McKay brings back only two start-
Federal Way senior Rod Jones returns as one of the top fullbacks and middle linebackers in the SPSL ers from last season and will install his new speed offense. The Titans will be counting on three running backs during the season, including 5-11, 240-pounder Chris Fa’amalele, Brody Martinez and senior Caleb Waller. Wide receiver Adrian Shocks and tight end Meilo Tauala will provide yardage through the air and senior Milo Loving Williams returns on the offensive line for the Titans. Defensively, Beamer will be led by its linebacking corps of Loving Williams, Fa’amalele and Meilo Tuaula. Also returning
for the Titans’ defense are linebacker Archie Ioramo and defensive backs Marcus Schimmelfenning and Shocks. The Titans open their season on the road against the Puyallup Vikings on Aug. 31 at Sparks Stadium.
Decatur The Gators open up their season on Aug. 31 on the road against Wilson in a non-league game. Decatur finished the 2011 season 4-5 in the rugged SPSL 3A Division. No other information was provided.

Sidelines: Special Olympics shows power of sport Special Olympics are sports at its purest form. It’s an organization all about real, true sports, and ultimately using the power of sports as a vehicle to inspire and change lives. As a sports reporter for the last umpteen years and as the father of kids participating in youth sports, I have seen the dark side from parents, coaches and kids. The “fun” of playing sports as a youngster is sometimes taken away from the kids. Too many parents are pushing their kids too hard for the ever-elusive college scholarship and certain “select” coaches are making fake promises
regarding those scholarships. I will let you in on a little secret. If your kid is good enough at a certain sport, they will get to continue their athletic career in college. It makes zero difference to a college coach how many articles have been in the newspaper or what “select” team they played for when they were 10 years old. All that drama is meaningless to Special Olympics athletes. They could care less about bad calls from a referee, only making the junior varsity or not getting their name in the newspaper. They just go out on the field with a smile on their face and play Casey Olson

Benson Henderson is coming home to defend his UFC lightweight championship belt. The nationally-televised UFC on Fox 5 will land at Seattle’s KeyArena for the upcoming Dec. 8 card featuring the 155-pound lightweight title fight between Henderson and Nate Diaz. It will be Henderson’s second title defense after he beat Frankie Edgar earlier this month at UFC 150 in Denver. The Decatur High School graduate revealed the news that he would be fighting for the first time in his home state on Twitter Tuesday
night. “Yes tweeps, for those who haven’t heard next dance is Dec. 8th at KeyArena in SEATTLE,” Henderson tweeted. “I still have my 253 area code, always (representing)…” The official news of Seattle hosting the Fox event was revealed during an episode of “UFC Tonight” on Fuel TV Tuesday night. In addition to Henderson’s headlining bout with Diaz, UFC on Fox 5 will also see Brazilian Mauricio “Shogun” Rua take on Swedish prospect Alexander Gustafsson, and former two-division champion and one of the UFC’s all-time greats, B.J. Penn, battle rising Canadian talent Rory MacDonald.
The last time the UFC appeared in Seattle was for UFC Fight Night 24 in March 2011. The card drew 13,741 people to KeyArena. Henderson (16-2 overall) is a perfect 5-0 in the UFC since moving over from the smaller World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) organization. Henderson held the WEC lightweight championship for over a year before having his 10-fight win streak snapped by Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in December 2011. Since the loss to Pettis and the eventual takeover of the WEC by the UFC, Henderson has steamrolled four of the UFC’s top contenders in very impressive fashion. He beat Canada’s Mark Bocek by unanimous decision in front of 55,000 fans in Toronto in April 2011. Henderson then stopped Jim Miller’s seven-match UFC win [ more henderson page 20 ]
Lamar Neagle is starting to make the impact the Montreal Impact thought he was going to make when they traded for him during the offseason. The Thomas Jefferson graduate was the key component during a trade last summer between the Impact and Seattle Lamar Neagle Sounders FC that sent Neagle to Montreal and all-star forward Eddie Johnson to the Sounders. Last Saturday, Neagle tallied his second goal of the season during a 3-1 Montreal win over the San Jose Earthquake. The goal was good enough to be nominated for the Major League Soccer (MLS) AT&T Goal of the Week award. With both teams down to 10 men, the 25-year-old Neagle was asked to move to the right flank. While he had not played the majority of a game in that role in almost a year, his rightmidfield reflexes came back to him straight away. “I’m right-footed, so I grew up kind of playing on the right,” Neagle told Montreal reporters on Tuesday. “I kind of switched late.

the game how it’s supposed to be played — for the fun of it. It’s awesome to see. Last weekend, I had the absolute honor of attending a Special Olympics fundraiser hosted by the Equinox Business Law Group in Bellevue, which honored teams from Federal Way and Bellevue. If you didn’t know, the Special Olympics is an international non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs to become physically fit, productive and instill in them a sense of accomplishment and a competitive spirit. According to the Special Olympics website, “children and adults with special needs who participate
in Special Olympics develop improved physical fitness and motor skills, greater self-confidence and a more positive self-image. They grow mentally, socially and spiritually and, through their activities, exhibit boundless courage and enthusiasm, enjoy the rewards of friendship and ultimately discover not only new abilities and talents but ‘their voices’ as well.” In short, the Special Olympics strive for everything that’s great about sports. They teach actual life lessons. Stuff like how to work as a team, leadership, don’t ever give up despite the score, and being a good winner and a good loser, among thousands of other things.

Sports briefs: Brandon Hall to skate at Worlds the 300-meter time trial.
By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way 19-year-old Brandon Hall has qualified for the United States’ 2012 Inline Speedskating World Team. The team is currently training at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., and will be competing at the 2012 World Championships in Ascoli Piceno and San Benedetto Del Tronto in Italy from Sept. 6-15. Hall, who skates out of Pattison’s West Skating Center in Federal Way, finished with the most all-around points in the track portion of the 2012 Inline Speed Skating Outdoor National Championships earlier this month in Colorado. Hall finished fifth in the Junior World Class 15,000 meters, fifth in the 10,000 meters, fourth in the 500-meter sprint and fifth in
I’m pretty comfortable. Being on the right is fine with me as well.” As his cracking goal hit the back of the net behind San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch, Neagle immediately turned to a visibly thrilled Patrice Bernier, who buried his teammate’s face in his shoulder not once, but twice. “This is a guy who hasn’t played a lot of minutes lately, yet he steps up and scores,” Bernier said. “He comes in and even though he’s been on the bench, he responds that way. He’s showing the coach that he’s there to play, and I’m happy for those guys, because you can see the work they put in at training.” Neagle has played in 19 games

for the Impact this season, starting nine. The start against San Jose on Saturday was Neagle’s first since July 21. He had played just three minutes in Montreal’s previous three matches. Neagle’s other goal this season came on June 16 during a 4-1 win over the Seattle Sounders FC, his former club. Montreal currently sits 11-133 in the MLS’s Eastern Conference, just four points behind D.C. United for the fifth and final berth into the playoffs. It’s the third week in a row that a Montreal player has been nominated for the MLS Goal of the Week. “It’s good, and it’s a credit to our streak as well as to what we’ve been doing,” Neagle said of
undertaking. One of those speeches came from Auburn High School senior-to-be Tyler May, who brought down the house with his passionate backing of the Special Olympics. May described how his participation in Special Olympics has changed his life and given him the confidence he lacked before signing up.

The midfielder is second on the team with three assists and third on the Kelyn Rowe Revs with two goals. Rowe has played in 20 games and started 13 for New England.

“I can now look people in the eyes when I talk to them,” he said. The autistic May was featured in the Auburn Reporter last year after he won the Special Olympics state golf championship and then made the Auburn Trojans’ varsity golf team.

on June 22. New England currently sits ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 6-13-5 record. The topfive advance to the MLS Playoffs. 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.
It was all part of the family’s efforts to make Tyler’s life as normal as possible, to treat his autism without giving in to it. Eventually the hectic pace of the games and the noise made it difficult for Tyler to enjoy the sports. That’s when Tyler turned to golf. “He’s been hitting balls since he was 7, but I couldn’t take him on the golf course because of his disability and anger management issues,” his father, Tom May, said. “It just wasn’t appropriate for me to take him out there.” In May 2010, however, Tom figured Tyler was ready and signed him up as a member of the Jade Green’s Men’s Club, just down the road from their home. That’s when things took

streak in August before winning another unanimous decision over Clay Guida in November at UFC on FOX in Anaheim. He then beat Edgar at UFC 144 in Japan to win the UFC 155-pound title and won the rematch Aug. 11. Diaz earned No. 1 contender in the lightweight division with three-straight wins over Jim Miller, Donald Cerrone and Takanori Gomi. Diaz is 16-7 during his mixed-martial arts career. Henderson will get a lot of home cooking when he returns to the Puget Sound area in December. Both Henderson’s mother, Song, and his brother, Julius, still live in the Federal Way area. Henderson credits his mother with instilling his hard-working attitude. As a single mother, she owned three businesses during his childhood and worked 17-hour days, six days a week. Sundays were her easy day. She “only” worked 14 hours. Song Henderson now owns and operates a small convenience store, Peter’s Grocery, in Tacoma. Henderson, 28, began his wrestling career during his time at Lakota Middle School and continued wrestling 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 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 after a dare from a couple of Dana wrestlers, but has never fought in Washington.
off for Tyler. “It was pretty tough at first. The coach told my teammates about my disability, so they understood what was going on,” Tyler said. “They are probably the best teammates to play with. They are really very kind people.” “Every time he comes out to the golf course, it’s therapy for him,” Tom said. “His therapy never stops.” That’s some pretty powerful stuff and quite a testimonial for the benefits of Special Olympics and sports in general. Federal Way has always been on the cutting edge of allowing students with disabilities to participate in sports. Federal Way Public Schools is one of a few districts in the state that offers students with disabilities a chance to get out and play.
There are currently about 100 student-athletes participating each season. The program is free for students attending kindergarten through 12th grade within the district. Participants build self-esteem and fitness while gaining the opportunity to participate in an extracurricular activity at school and meet new people. Federal Way offers bowling, basketball, soccer and track. For more information about the district’s Special Olympics athletic programs, contact Sharon Boyle at (253) 945-5576 or email sboyle@fwps.org.

[22] August 24, 2012 [ sports briefs from page 20 ] The organizer of the twoday festival, the Desna Soccer Club, hopes the festival “unites people of different backgrounds, different ages, different nations under one idea of love for the sports, passion for people, respect for coaches, team unity, healthy lifestyle”. The Desna Cup was started five years ago when Ivan Lisitsyn, Leo Listisyn (of the Desna Soccer Club) and the head of the Federal Way parks and recreation department, John Hutton, secured fields and sponsors. Federal Way City Councilmembers Linda Kochmar and Susan Honda welcomed attendees on Saturday and encouraged good sportsmanship. • Kelsey Learned, a 5-foot-8 senior defender for the U.S. Naval Academy’s soccer team, was selected captain for the fall season. Learned, a 2009 Thomas Jefferson graduate, succeeds 2012 Navy graduate Kate Herren – a 2007 Auburn Mountainview grad – in donning the captain’s
armband. Navy has opened the season with a 1-1-0 record. “I’m really excited about this season and we have a great group of girls,” Learned said. “It felt great knowing that my squad voted me as the team captain and I feel like I have a responsibility to give as much back as I can to this team.” Learned attended the inaugural Naval Academy Team Captain Encounter in Gettysburg, Pa., along with the rest of the Academy’s team captains for the upcoming academic year. “The Gettysburg trip was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from the rest of our school’s captains,” Learned said of the two-day trip. “It was a conference of great minds and Gettysburg was a great setting to have it at. We had a fantastic staff that gave us input and challenged our ideas and it was a great learning experience.” Learned played just seven games in 2011 due to an injury, but she is healthy entering preseason camp.

Read the death threat to Obama Mirror staff reports
(Warning: contains graphic language) What does a death threat to the President of the United States look like? Federal Way resident Anton Caluori, 31, is accused of emailing such a threat to the FBI on Aug. 21, resulting in his arrest that same day. Below is the text of the email, according to U.S. District Court documents: I will kill the president!!!!! “I” Don’t give a (expletive) … But You Know That!!!! PHYSICAL (expletive) ADDRESS… COME GET ME… “I” WON’T FIGHT AGAINST YOU… “I” WANT YOU TO COME AND GET ME AND DUMPT [address redacted] “i” BETTER GET YOUR AUDIENCE OR THIS (expletive) HITS THE (expletive) FAN REAL FAST… YOUR WORLD WILL CHANGE FOREVER… You Have 7 days… get me to Alcatraz now… you can’t afford to call my bluff…
Dieing Isn’t frightening… it’s peaceful… you will see… [address redacted] GET HERE… NOW!!!!! Or (expletive) THIS PLANTE… HARD!!! Cop killing spree… just over the hill (sic) According to documents, a Secret Service officer and a Federal Way police officer knocked on the door. The suspect opened the door and was wearing a black bandoleer at chest level with 12-gauge shotgun shells around his torso, according to documents. The suspect allegedly pointed a pump-action shotgun with a pistol grip at the officers, documents show. The officers were able to disarm the suspect and take him to the ground after several commands to drop the gun, documents show. When asked if there was anything in the residence that could hurt law enforcement officers, the suspect allegedly replied, “There are things that go boom.” Apartment complex residents were evacuated. A bomb squad found no explosives.
www.federalwaymirror.com [ THREAT from page 1] Two weapons were confiscated in the arrest. The police department’s bomb unit conducted a sweep of the apartment complex after receiving reports of explosives, Schrock said. The suspect lives with his mother. A woman claiming to be his mother stood outside with other apartment complex residents, including a neighbor who was evacuated from an upstairs unit while police searched the scene. The neighbor, who did not want to give her name, said the commotion from the arrest sounded like it came straight from a TV crime show. She described the suspect as a quiet and courteous man who didn’t bother anyone. A woman at the scene, who said she was the suspect’s mother and did not give her name, said she was unaware of her son’s actions at the time of the arrest. “I hope he’s going to get evaluated,” the woman said, noting that her son stays close to home and rarely goes out. “Just because he said something doesn’t mean he’s going to do it.” While watching the news helicopters circle overhead,

The Federal Way Police Department’s bomb unit searched the Panther Ridge Apartments on Tuesday afternoon after a report of possible explosives. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror she added: “He’s a human being who made a mistake.” Obama was campaigning in Ohio at the time of the threat. Caluori’s arrest comes on the heels of Brandon Raub’s arrest in Virginia last week. Raub, a 26-year-old former Marine, was taken into custody after local and federal authorities became aware of some of Raub’s postings to his Facebook page. One of Raub’s posts, cited by the ABC News Legal blog, said “Sharpen up my axe; I’m here to sever heads.” Those words are credited to the band Swollen Members and its song “Bring Me Down.” Raub was questioned by the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and the Chesterfield County Police in connection with his Facebook posts, and was taken into custody by the
Chesterfield County Police. Raub has been ordered held for 30 days for a mental evaluation on the former Marine. Facebook posts were at the center of a story from May 2011, when a then seventh-grader in Tacoma was interrogated by the Secret Service for posts about President Obama. Vito LaPinta, the young man in question, had posted to his Facebook that he hoped the president would “be careful because there could be suicide bombers” in the wake of the Osama Bin Laden killing that month. In that instance, the controversy centered more on the fact that LaPinta, then age 13, was questioned by the Secret Service without his parents present. In July 2011, a Federal Court of Appeals reversed
a ruling against Walter Bagdasarian regarding an online rant Bagdasarian posted on a Yahoo.com financial site in October 2008. In the rant, Bagdasarian indicated he felt thencandidate Obama would “have a .50 cal in the head soon” and that someone should “shoot the (racial epithet).” Bagdasarian was originally sentenced to time served and put on supervised release for two years. He was also put under a prohibition to possess a firearm for his drunken rant in 2008. Threatening the president is punishable by up to five years in prison, and assault of a federal agent is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
