Copper thieves strike 11 times in 2012

County garbage station sparks tug-of-war Potential site is located just outside city limits

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

As the county’s garbage and recycling transfer station at Algona

approaches the end of its useful life, the King County Solid Waste Division (KCSWD) has begun looking for sites to build a new, modernized transfer station.

The county narrowed the choice down to four sites in the south end. As it stands right now, two potential sites are being explored

in Auburn, one in Algona, and one in unincorporated King County on the boundary of Federal Way on 320th Street.

Residents and local elected officials gathered for an open house Sept. 27 to hear what the county has to say about this project — and to give blunt feedback regarding the

sites that are in consideration.

“I want to make sure you know that no decisions have been made about the siting, whatsoever,” said Polly Young of KCSWD, reminding everyone that the project is still in its earliest stages. “We’re still in the information gathering stage, and [ more GARBAGE, p. 28 ]

Dist. 30 candidate forums

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

With 11 incidents of copper wire theft recorded in the city in 2012 alone, and with those thefts totaling more than $100,000 in costs, Federal Way officials seek a strategy to combat the problem.

Public Works Director Cary Roe said the city hopes to lean on residents and businesses. The city will soon mail fliers on the issue.

“We intend to try and inform, and educate (citizens) to react to suspicious behaviors in the right-of-way and in the parks. We’re encouraging folks to help us keep those lights on in the parks and in the right-ofway,” Roe said at the Oct. 2 city council meeting.

People are asked to call 911 if they view a wire theft in progress or see suspicious behavior.

“We’d much rather have (people) call 911 ... versus not calling at all,” [ more COPPER, p. 28 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Judge’s comment: Photo and bold red headline jumps! You can’t miss it on the page.

comment: Eye catching and holds the interest. Great section.

Best news story (short) • First place: “Coyotes: FW resident wants to shoot them,” by Greg Allmain. Judge’s comment: A solid short story on an interesting topic.

As a reader, I would love to know more about this man and his problem with coyotes.

• Third place: “It’s OK to view porn at county libraries,” by Andy Hobbs.

Judge’s comment: Interesting issue that deserves more attention than allowed in this short story. On a side note, I will now think twice about bringing my 3-year-old daughter to the library ...

The Federal Way Mirror’s winning Father’s Day ad from 2011. Mirror file Best topical column Second place: “Sidelines,” by Casey Olson. Judge’s comment: You can really hear the writer’s voice in these columns. He gives his take, but not too much so that it’s an opinion piece.

Best online photo gallery, slideshow or video Third place: “Ron Paul greets rabid followers in WA,” by Andy Hobbs.

Judge’s comment: This video was well paced and included plenty of interviews. Some background by way of narration would have improved the package.

Two men died in a house fire that broke out at about 4 a.m. Sept. 28 in the 3900 block of South 238th Street on the West Hill in unincorporated Kent.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the men as Jan M. Van Allen, 69, and his grandson Patrick Van Allen, 19.

The examiner ruled the deaths as accidental and the cause as smoke inhalation.

King County fire investigators determined the cause as an electrical accident from an extension cord, according to an email from King County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Cindi West.

The King County fire investigations unit is part of the Sheriff ’s Office.

Patrick Van Allen was a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School in the Federal Way School District. Principal Liz Drake posted a letter to parents on the school’s website that included a statement about Van Allen.

“Because of his quiet demeanor, your student may not have known him well,” Drake wrote. “However, I suspect he may have made an impression on your student, as he did on me.”

The school also offered grief counseling to students.

Valley Com Dispatch Center received numerous calls about a fully involved house fire with people trapped inside, according to a media release sent by the Kent Fire Department on behalf of Federal

Way-based South King Fire and Rescue. The house sits in unincorporated King County.

The first firefighters reported heavy flames and thick smoke. Crews found two women in the front yard who had escaped the fire and who told firefighters that two men were trapped in the house.

Crews quickly attempted to enter the house to rescue Jan Van Allen and his grandson but were driven back by the flames, heat and thick smoke.

Minutes later, firefighters knocked down the fire enough that crews were able to enter the house.

They found both men dead.

Red Cross is assisting the residents who were displaced by the fire.

No damage estimate has been released.

Emergency units arrived from the Kent and South King fire departments. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries.

The house sits in an area known to firefighters as “Federal Way Island,” according to a Kent Fire Department spokesman.

The neighborhood is part of Federal Way’s fire district even though it is surrounded entirely by the city of Kent.

South King Fire and Rescue and the Kent Fire Department each respond to emergency calls in the neighborhood, according to the Kent fire officials.

Kent city officials refer to the area as the “West Hill Island.”

The Kent City Council proposed annexing the area in the early 1990s and residents of the area submitted a petition for the issue to go on the ballot. Residents of the area voted down the annexation and remain in unincorporated King County.

Sept. 30 in the 5000 block of SW Dash Point Road, a park patron called to inform police of a graffiti spree that had taken place inside Palisades Park. According to the report, the graffiti included “penises, 420, weed, KKK, swastikas, Federal Way sucks,” along with racist statements, and statements against the police and God.

• Starbucks trip is really expensive: At 9:52 a.m. Sept. 29 in the 33000 block of 21st Avenue SW, a woman reported that her car was broken into and a bag containing approximately $600 worth of personal belongings was stolen.

Sept. 29 in the 34000 block of 2nd Lane South, a woman contacted police to say she had been unable to get a hold of her husband for a number of days.

Garbage customers to receive refunds Mirror staff reports

The Federal Way City Council approved a $209,000 settlement with Waste Management for interrupted service during Waste Management’s eight-day driver strike in August.

“The strike inconvenienced thousands of residents and businesses, and in doing so, violated Waste Management’s contract with the city,” said Mayor Skip Priest. “We believe it’s appropriate for the settlement to go directly to the customers affected by the strike.”

Refunds will appear as a $10 credit for residential customers and as a $50 credit for business customers on their next billing statement. According to the city, business customers, who are billed monthly, will see the credit on their November invoice. Residential customers, who are billed quarterly, will see the credit appear on either their November, December or January billing statements.

Building a better community, making education a priority On Nov. 6, the Federal Way community will be asked answer two very important questions: Does the community believe that education is a priority? Is the learning environment critical to student success?

If your answer is yes to both questions, then supporting the capital levy is of utmost importance.

As a former Federal Way mayor and city council member, I have had many discussions with residents, business owners, service organizations and nonprofits regarding what makes a community.

GOP targets 2 vulnerable Dems The Republican strategy this election season was to concentrate on winning the governor’s office, the state Senate and the state House of Representatives because that is where the real power is.

As a result, most of the other statewide races are fairly predictable, as few Democratic incumbents drew strong challengers.

Two races to watch are the Secretary of State and State Auditor.

Republicans have held the Secretary of State’s office for several decades with moderate, experienced candidates including incumbent Sam Reed, who is retiring. Reed is supporting Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman to replace him. Wyman has held the position in Democratic Olympia for four terms and, other than the governor’s race, she is the Republicans’ best chance at emerging from the election with a statewide office holder.

The county auditor is responsible for county elections and is similar in job duties to Secretary of State. Wyman has the support of most other auditors around the state.

Wyman is being challenged by former state Sen. Kathleen Drew. Drew has put together an impressive campaign, outdistancing three other more well known opponents to win the Democratic primary.

Drew represented the Issaquah area while in the Senate and worked to establish a UW-Bothell campus. She also authored the states Ethics in Public Service Law. Drew has been endorsed by many influential women’s groups.

But a recent allegation by the Thurston County personnel director says that Drew’s husband, Thurston County Assessor Steven Drew, tried to use county staff to obtain information that may have been harmful to Wyman. The allegation has resulted in negative publicity that has marred an otherwise issue-oriented race between two good candidates. The Public Disclosure Commission will investigate.

It’s Drew’s “new ideas” versus Wyman’s “experience.” This is likely to be a Democratic year in Washington and conventional wisdom is that Drew should be the front-runner. But voters can cross over. If they do, this could be the race.

The other interesting race is for State Auditor to replace Democrat Brian Sonntag, who is retiring. There were four Democratic candidates in the primary, none particularly well known. But in a Democratic year, it appeared that whichever one prevailed would be on their way to an easy win as the Republican, James Watkins, was not well known either despite a previous run for Congress. Pierce County legislator Troy Kelley used personal finances to his advantage and ran ads in many local newspapers around the state to build his name identification. It worked, he won the Democratic primary, and he appeared on his way to winning in November.

But two changes have made this a tight race.

First, Watkins showed much better among [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

In the November general election, The Mirror editorial board unanimously recommends voting yes for the Federal Way School District’s capital projects levy.

If approved, the levy will fund the construction of a new Federal Way High School, along with new elementary school playgrounds and security cameras in the district.

This is a long-term investment with immediate gain. Residents have an opportunity to bring Federal Way’s flagship school in line with modern standards — and improve the learning environment for students.

Federal Way High School was built in 1929. The building shows its age. Poor plumbing, a leaking roof and years of water damage have taken their toll. With all the piecemeal expansions over the years, the deteriorating structure lacks the safety, security and energy efficiency of today’s schools.

The levy will cost taxpayers about $92 per $100,000 of assessed property value per year for six years.

Total cost of the project is $110 million, and the district has already saved $50 million to put toward construction.

If the levy passes, construction on the new FWHS would begin in 2014, and should last about three years. Some Federal Way homeowners may qualify for an exemption to the levy depending on age, disability and income.

To raise awareness of the levy and the condition of Federal Way High School, the school district has engaged the public all year long.

The public has had multiple opportunities to meet with architects and offer input on design. In past construction projects, the district has demonstrated good financial stewardship with taxpayer dollars. Projects have consistently finished on time and under budget.

Voters can expect the school district to continue that same responsible approach. Vote yes to build a new Federal Way High School that’s adequate for the students of today and tomorrow.

To learn more about the capital levy, The Mirror encourages the public to attend a free community education forum Oct. 18 at Todd Beamer High School. The forum is sponsored by CityVision. To learn more or register, call (206) 462-6644 or visit www.fwcityvision.org.

Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.

There are a few areas where we all agree including a good public safety system, good transportation and roads, a vibrant business community, a healthy economy and a great education system.

It is no secret that the whole country has struggled with an underperforming education system.

There are many reasons why we have fallen behind many other countries in producing a well-educated society. There are also many smart people who are trying to address these problems and implement the many solutions it will take

to fix our system.

In one way or another, we all share in this problem, and at the same time we can all share in the solutions. The Federal Way School District is doing its best to offer a quality education despite reductions in budget and staff over the last several years.

My personal experience is that the district is full of very passionate people who feel education is a priority. Spend some time in any school and you will feel the energy teachers bring to their work and the energy of the students who

are excited about learning. There are many great and innovative programs that have been launched in the district that have been created by enthusiastic and intelligent teachers and administrators.

These programs give Federal Way students the opportunity to succeed, build self-esteem, and prepare them for the future. A critical piece to a healthy, productive education system is to provide a quality environment — facilities that support current technology, adapt to current culture and allow students to feel valued.

A good education system is a critical ingredient in building a healthy community. [ more LETTERS, page 7 ]

Cost of fulfilling architect’s wish for new school After reviewing the Federal Way Mirror article that presents the findings prepared for public consumption by SRG Partnership Inc. spokesperson Jane Hendricks, I have to question the validity of her presentation.

Concerning the location of restrooms, a large number are not for general student use but in place for faculty and teacher staff use.

Adequate natural light can be introduced by skylights and solar tube skylights to any and all room locations.

Many of the cited entry points are not necessarily principle public use entry points. Most serve as emergency egress, which are required by the ICBO Building Code, the National Fire Code. Perhaps this concern could be addressed by increasing the size of the points of egress so that they conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. That would certainly be far less costly that tearing down a building to satisfy the desires of some architectural firm’s wish to create their own monolithic structure.

As all school structures are continually being upgraded on a yearly basis, seismic upgrades occur usually every year until seismic upgrades are satisfied.

At a time when our state and city is in need of tax dollar revenue, it would be prudent to refrain from providing an architectural firm city and state revenue for the purpose of fulfilling their own self-servicing desires to gain profit from public coffers.

[ ROEGNER from page 4] office in his race with skeptics — including some in his own party — in the primary and around the election circuit. Secondly, he raised questions with the media about Kelley’s past business practices and two lawsuits. Kelley has denied the allegations, but in a race for a position where voters demand a high level of candidate perfection, they appear to have had an impact. Kelley has countered by raising questions about Watkins’ audit credentials. The charges and counter-charges have frustrated many in their attempt to pick the best candidate.

Even the Association of Washington Business decided not to endorse either of the two businessmen. Since AWB usually supports Republicans, that may harm Watkins more than Kelley.

However, Kelley is still the front-runner and expected to win.

Democratic Lt. Gov. Brad Owen was on his way to another term in

Republican and former former State Sen. Bill Finkbeiner when issues surfaced about use of state resources to support a charity that his wife works for. Owen agreed to pay a fine. The issue didn’t get wide play, so it is hard to gauge the political impact.

With only a few weeks left, there is still time for the issue to be raised in a more pointed manner. Owen is well known statewide for his efforts in working with schools and students. Owen has built up a lot of name familiarity. Absent a well financed and aggressive media campaign from Finkbeiner, Owen will be re-elected.

Democrats Mike Kreidler (Insurance Commissioner), Peter Goldmark (Land Commissioner) and Randy Dorn (State Superintendent of Schools) all appear like easy winners. So does U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell.

Developer misses deadline City staff explores alternatives for downtown site

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

Crystal Way developer ARCADD Inc. missed another deadline in its dealings with Federal Way.

After Oct. 2 came and went, the Massachusettsbased company was unable to come up with $150,000 in earnest money as part of the purchase and sale agreement to develop the former AMC Theaters site downtown.

Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest gave an update at the city council meeting Oct. 2,

saying he had spent a long time on the phone with Dr. Hisham Ashkouri, the main architect for ARCADD and the man who had created the Crystal Way vision for Federal Way’s downtown core.

“I received a communication today, and in fact had a long phone conversation with Dr. Ashkouri, that he

was unable to receive the earnest money that we had hoped to have by today,” Priest said. “He remains extremely optimistic about the fact that the money will come, but the transfer of money from other countries, is, not surprisingly, a challenge in these times.”

Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell minced no words, saying he thinks it’s time to “turn the page” on ARCADD. “My perspective is that, I think at this point, we’re eight months past the original hard deadline of February. For me, I sort of feel like it’s time to turn the page completely,” he said. “I just don’t see that it’s fruitful to pursue this anymore.”

Other council members were not as adamant as Ferrell in the idea of cutting ARCADD loose. Ashkouri had said the $150,000 would be made available sometime in the coming week.

“It certainly does apply pressure to those who may think this is a lock, to get their affairs in order and come to the table in a really meaningful way,” council member Roger Freeman said, referencing an alternative plan the city has been developing since last winter.

Community and Economic Development Director Patrick Doherty presented that same plan during the Oct. 2 meeting.

“At this point, I’m willing to wait it out a little longer to see what is actually going to come forward,” Freeman said.

Council member Linda Kochmar made it clear that Ferrell’s sentiments weren’t necessarily shared by the rest of the council.

“Recognizing that we’re in the middle of a recession, it’s difficult to get development moving in the middle of a recession, and we’ve been trying for a very long time,” she said. “I just want to reiterate that we’re not closing the door on Mr. Ashkouri yet, because he could still come forward.

We’re just moving forward on other concepts.”

City’s alternative

Beginning last winter, Doherty and city staff had begun working on a number of alternative ideas for the AMC site, with a focus on an open/green space, combined with a mixture of residential and retail businesses.

Doherty elaborated during his presentation to the council on Oct. 2.

“We have come up with a concept, where roughly half the site, about 2 acres, is a public park or plaza, leaving the other half for development on a much smaller

scale than we’ve seen in these previous proposals,” he said.

The alternative concept will still revitalize, invigorate and activate that public space, he said, which means “shops, cafes, small stories, and at least a couple of stories to provide some sort of gravitas to the development, but not necessarily high-rise or mid-rise.”

Doherty said that if the council moves forward with the city’s alternative, a rough timeline would include: • A site visit for council and city staff sometime this month • A special session to deliberate more finely the pros and cons of alternatives in November • Selection of a concept in December • The issuance of a Request for Proposals for the private development portion of the project in January Priest reiterated that this alternative design is essentially still in its infancy, and that the idea could be applied to other properties in the downtown area that the city owns.

“There are a number of other locations in downtown, where we can use this concept to market to the private development community,” he said.

“What we’re trying to do is continue to be creative, continue to drive the train.

For us to sit back and not pursue the vision doesn’t do our citizens service, or meet our own responsibilities.”

All Saints celebrates 50 years Courtesy of Ed Englund

All Saints’ Lutheran Church is hosting a series of special celebrations to commemorate its 50 years of Christian service to the Federal Way and South King County communities.

For most of those years, at its conspicuous location on the corner of South 272nd Street and Military Road South, All Saints’ has served as the church home for thousands of Christian worshipers.

Although enormous growth and dramatic changes have taken place throughout our community, All Saints’ has steadfastly endured. Most of us have no recollection that anything other than the All Saints’ church has ever existed at this prominent location.

It was at the historic Steel Lake Grange where services were first conducted. Some old-timers may, with nos-

In 1966, the church home moved to a new but modest

sanctuary that was built on the present site. Since that time there have been significant additions to the facility, culminating in the present larger and more modern sanctuary, which was dedicated in 1993.

The first event planned to celebrate this 50-year milestone is that of “remembrance” to be held at 11 a.m. Oct. 6.

Past and present members and former pastors will gather for special ceremonies followed by a luncheon hosted by the church.

Retired Pastor Elvin Bjork, All Saints’ first pastor, will be among those on hand.

dinner will be provided in honor of the Reverend Martin Luther, who championed the beginnings of the Protestant movement on this special day nearly 500 years ago.

Finally, on Sunday, Dec. 2, the church will celebrate a “rededication.”

It was exactly on that day, 50 years ago, that All Saints’ was officially commissioned under a charter of the Lutheran Churches of America. Following a Rededication Service by ASLC’s Pastor Jan Otto, there will be a social gathering along with refreshments.

All members of the community, as well as past church members, are invited to take part in this special “once in a lifetime” series of events. Call the church at (253) 852-4884 for more information.

EarthCorps leads restoration in FW

By Lina Rose EarthCorps project manager

Have you noticed positive changes in your local parks? Restoration is happening in Federal Way. EarthCorps/Friends of the Hylebos is leading community members in restoring Poverty Bay Open Space, West Hylebos Wetlands Park and Brooklake through funding from the City of Federal Way. EarthCorps is also managing a special yearlong grant at Dumas Bay Sanctuary from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation funded through FedEx. This grant awarded EarthCorps/FOH funding toward restoration efforts to improve the health of this important park, one of the few remaining stretches of native coastline connected to upland forest in the

In Support Of Cancer Awareness Jerry Galland

Puget Sound.

Nineteen-acre Dumas Bay Sanctuary also hosts a small colony of Great Blue Herons, along with many key bird species and native eel grass beds, which are important salmon habitat.

Juvenile Cutthroat Trout and Coho Salmon were found in Joe’s Creek with runs through Dumas Bay Sanctuary draining into Dumas Bay. Healthy wetlands and forests have many functions that they perform for a community like mitigate flood runoff, control erosion to protect neighboring properties, reduce noise, air and water pollution, provide wildlife with habitat and give people a place to go to recreate and enjoy being outside.

EarthCorps/FOH crews and community volunteers have worked to remove

In Support Of Cancer Awareness Jeffrey’s Jewelers

1.4 acres of invasive plants from Dumas Bay Park and have planted 325 native shrubs and trees. Volunteers have come from down the street and far and wide.

Partnerships have included: TAF Academy, Green Gables Elementary School, Youth Ecology Group, Decatur and Todd Beamer High Schools, Federal Way Public Academy along with local families.

In October, EarthCorps/ FOH will host a volunteer event for a group of exchange students from New Zealand, here in Washington through the Meeker Middle School New Zealand Exchange Program.

This grant continues through December 2012.

Be part of this special project by planting trees in Dumas Bay Park on Oct. 27. We can’t do it without you. Get involved.

Throughout the years, many dedicated community members through the Friends of the Hylebos have invested time and heart into helping these natural areas become healthier ecosystems. Join EarthCorps/ FOH and the City of Federal Way in improving the health of local forests and wetlands as we enter into planting season. Planting in the fall and winter assures that new plants have time in wet soil to establish their root systems thereby giving them a far better chance at survival.

People of all ages, schools and corporate groups are welcome at our volunteer events. You do not need any skills or tools, we provide all the training and materials. To sign up, visit our volunteer calendar at www. earthcorps.org/volunteer. php.

The victory moved TJ to 10-0 on the season and extended the program’s SPSL winning streak to 42 matches in a row under the direction of longtime coach Andrew Buchan. The Raiders have won the last four SPSL Central Division titles.

But Jefferson didn’t just breeze to the division championship this season, they blew away the competition. In total, Jefferson lost only one match during the league season.

The Raiders swept nine of their SPSL Central opponents by 5-0 scores. The only match loss came when TJ’s Alex Chan lost to Federal Way’s Mitch Stewart at No. 1 singles during a 4-1 victory over the Eagles on Sept. 20. Stewart is the [ more wrap up page 18 ]

Federal Way’s JR Celski clinched a spot on the World Cup team after sweeping the men’s races last weekend at the United States Single Distance Short Track Speedskating Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Celski, who won a pair of bronze medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, made an inside move with half a lap remaining to win the 1,000 meters Saturday and skated to an easy victory in the 1,500 that same night.

Celski skated for the Utah Olympic Oval’s FAST Team during the Single Distance Short Track Championships. He was one of 10 skaters to automatically qualify for the U.S. World Cup team. The athletes have until Oct. 7 to accept. Two discretionary picks won’t be named until after an arbitration hearing regarding a coaching abuse scandal concludes in early October.

The skaters have been competing on divided teams because of charges against Jae Su Chun, who has been placed on administrative leave by U.S. Speedskating after allegations of verbal, physical and psychological [ more celski page 20]

The second-ranked Federal Way Eagles continued their impressive play Friday night with a 63-20 blowout of the Chico McClatcher Puyallup Vikings.

The Eagles (5-0) were just too much for the Vikings dur-

ing a first-half scoring blitz inside Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The Eagles tallied an eye-popping 56 points during the first two quarters Friday night to remain atop the South Puget Sound League South Division.

The two teams exchanged touchdowns early in the first quarter on big play after big play. The Eagles struck first on a 61-yard touchdown run by senior Zeek McNeal. Puyallup [ more football page 19 ]

defending Class 4A singles champion and one of the best junior players in the United States.

“Last year’s team was the strongest TJ has ever produced and this year looks even better,” said Buchan, who has an amazing 235-42 record in his 22 seasons at Jefferson.

And that’s saying quite a lot. The 2011-12 edition of the Raider boys tennis team featured three solid players, including multi-time state placer Kainoa Rosa, who is currently playing tennis at Hawaii-Hilo University.

Also gone were state veterans James Lee and Russell Stelzer.

But the Raiders had plenty of depth waiting in the wings, obviously. This year’s team was led by senior Alex Lee, who finished 8-0 in singles play. Chan, a freshman who played most of the regular season at No. 1 singles, finished an impressive 5-1.

On the doubles’ side, the brother duo of Cameron and Zach Martin (8-0) at No. 1, seniors Abishek Murali and Tyler Hamashima (7-0) and Richard Ban and Vivek Ramanujan (6-0) were all unbeaten. Murali was the No. 1 singles player at Decatur in 2009 and ‘10 before transferring to TJ. He was forced to sit out last season at TJ. Next up for the Raiders, along with Beamer, Federal Way and Decatur, is the SPSL Tournament, which is slated to run Saturday through Tuesday at several locations around the league.

Unlike season’s past, the West Central/Southwest District Tournament will be held during the fall this year.

The district tournament, which has been held in the spring in years past, is scheduled for Oct. 26-27 with state berths on the line.

Jefferson (2-7-0) won its second game Tuesday over Kent-Meridian, 2-1. The Raiders got both of their goals from Chentay Warnes.

Tony Barnette is feeling right at home in Japan. The Thomas Jefferson High School graduate is currently in his third season playing professional baseball with the Yakult Tokyo Swallows of Japan’s Central League.

This is easily Barnette’s best season in Japan. He is currently working as the Swallows’ closer. On the season, Barnette is 1-2 with an impressive 31 saves and a 1.87 earned-run average in 55 appearances. He has given up just 44 hits in 53 innings, struck out 51 and walked only 11.

Barnette was even voted into the Japan League allstar series. The game is between players from Japan’s Central League and Pacific League. The two teams play a three-game series, which occurred in late July. Barnette’s Central League team won two of the three games and he threw one inning during the series.

Barnette, 29, originally signed a one-year deal with the Swallows on Jan. 7, 2010, after a steady rise through the minor league system of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization.

The Diamondbacks drafted the right-handed pitcher in the 10th-round in 2006 following a stellar career at Arizona State University. He started out in rookie ball in 2006, pitched in the Single-A Midwest League in 2007, the Double-A Southern League in ‘08 and spent the entire 2009 season playing for the Reno Aces of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

Barnette finished 14-8 with a 5.79 earned-run average for Reno before inking with the Yakult Swallows during the offseason.

Barnette’s 2012 is a far cry from how his journey to Japan began. In 2010, he was just 4-5 with a 5.99 ERA. He gave up 99 hits in 79 innings and struck out 70, mostly as a [ more baseball page 21 ]

Sidelines: Whiffle Ball perfect game is best of the best for any non-athlete What is the greatest athletic achievement in the history?

It’s a debate that’s been around since the beginning of sports, which, in my mind, happens to be Sept. 7, 1979. That’s the date ESPN broadcast its first-ever SportsCenter and transformed the way all sports were viewed around the world.

During ESPN’s 33-year history, the “Worldwide Leader in Sports,” has broadcast things like cup stacking, Scrabble games, competitive cheerleading, NASCAR, bass fishing, poker tournaments, darts, a classic car auction and the National Spelling Bee, among other things.

And since these things are aired on ESPN, they have to be legitimate sports, right? That’s just common sense.

So, with that in mind, I thought about some of the best athletic achievements in history. But not things like the 56-game hitting streak

by Joe Dimaggio, four world records

by Jesse Owens in 1935 or Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game. They have gotten plenty of notoriety and none of their games were on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN3.

I thought about guys like Takeru Kabayashi, Larry Nixon and my buddy, Marty, and the greatest athletic achievement in history by a “non-athlete.” That’s just how my mind works.

Everybody remembers Kobayashi for eating hot dog after hot dog. But what people don’t realize is the “Japanese Tsunami” overcame a debilitating jaw injury to down 63 hotdogs in 10 minutes at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest back in 2007.

Just seven days before the July 4 event, Kabayashi announced on his blog that he could only open his jaw “about the width of a fingertip,” far

too small to insert a hot dog and bun.

Miraculously, after hours and hours of physical therapy on his mandible, he not only won, but set a world record.

Next is Larry Nixon, a professional bass fisherman. While fishing, Nixon tore a tendon in his elbow, which required surgery, then developed carpal tunnel, which resulted in another surgery. His shoulder is now torn up, but he’s resisting surgery. Nixon can no longer “chunk and wind” (a fishing term, I guess), but has still won 14 pro titles and has earned $1.6 million during his career (for fishing?).

Both Kobayashi and Nixon can be very proud of their non-athletic accomplishments. Both have the heart of a champion. But, for my money, Marty’s non-athletic act of valor is stuff dreams are made of. I can’t believe Hollywood hasn’t come calling. You couldn’t script this stuff.

I have been friends with this guy for 25-plus years, so I’m a little biased to what Marty accomplished on a makeshift Whiffle Ball field on a small farm between Auburn and Enumclaw back in 1991. It was nothing short of miraculous.

People always describe the bodies of such athletes as LeBron James or Adrian Peterson as “being chiseled out of stone.” On the other hand, I would describe Marty’s body as “being chiseled out of a Taco Bell chalupa.”

Needless to say, he was/is the definition of a non-athlete. His lack of muscle, or a lack of drinking milk as a youngster, shackled Marty with an amazing six broken legs before he turned 20 years old. He literally stepped in a pothole and his shin popped.

But it was the fifth of those broken

limbs that made for the Whiffle Ball miracle of 1991.

Just two weeks after the all-toofamiliar cast was sawed off his right leg, Marty took the mound in the championship game in the Auburn High School Summer Whiffle Ball League. You knew he wasn’t 100 percent when you saw him limp to his position on the mound to his personal theme song, “The Power,” by Snap, was blared on the ghetto blaster.

But as soon as he threw his first pitch, you knew you were witnessing something special. Marty’s sidearm, grass-hugging delivery with the Whiffle Ball was literally unhittable that faithful summer day. “The Lawnmower Man,” as he was so aptly nicknamed, won the championship with a perfect game.

People were swinging at pitches that rose from the ground to over their heads. That’s how nasty he was that day.

I recently contacted Marty to ask him about his one-legged perfect game back in 1991 and wondered where the “Lawnmower Man” pitch came from?

“It developed from skipping rocks at the ocean while on vacation with my parents as a young child,” he mused. “Throwing sidearm, almost underhand, like Dan Quisenberry or Kent Tekulve did back in the 1980s.

I found that putting the holes (on the Whiffle Ball) facing down and coming in sidearm/underhand, I could move the ball more, with better control.”

Wow, it was like hearing Muhammad Ali talk about how he came up with his “Rope a Dope” that beat George Foreman or the origin of Michael Jordan’s turnaround jumper.

Goose-bump material.

The greatest athletic accomplishment by a non-athlete? For me, it’s an easy choice.

tie after regulation, Auburn Riverside’s Kevin Thomson scored on the Ravens’ first overtime possession to take a 30-23 lead.

But Jefferson came right back and quarterback Niko DelaCruz connected with Kyle Dougherty on a 25yard touchdown. Instead of attempting the game-tying extra-point, the Raiders went for two and DelaCruz and Dougherty hooked up again for the win.

Riverside jumped out to a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter before a 13-yard catch from Josh Coleman cut the lead to 17-8. Jefferson added a pair of second-half touchdowns, including a 94-yard run

by DelaCruz and a 6-yard run from Dabrian Taylor to take a 23-20 lead. DelaCruz finished with 177 yards rushing on 20 attempts and 108 yards passing.

Riverside hit a 20-yard field goal to send the game into overtime with just 11 seconds left on the clock.

Casey Olson

countered on a 22-yard touchdown pass from Brendan Illies to Rob Howard to tie the game at 7-7.

Federal Way sophomore Chico McClatcher then tallied the first of his four touchdowns on the night by hauling in a 41-yard pass from Evan Elliot, which was immediately answered by a 28-yard Illies to Levi Jordan TD for the Vikings. The Eagles, however, blocked the extra-point attempt to lead 14-13.

Federal Way took control of the game with twostraight touchdowns later in the first quarter on a 63yard run from McNeal and a 9-yard pass from Elliot to senior Mike Tate to go up 28-13.

Puyallup’s last points of the game came on a Justin Janker catch late in the first quarter to cut the lead to eight, 28-20.

It was all Federal Way from that point on. The Eagles tallied 35 unanswered points during the second and third quarters and racked up a total of 542 yards of offense against Puyallup.

The Eagles’ scores came on a 1-yard run by Rod Jones, a 3-yard catch from Tate and three touchdowns from McClatcher, including a 31-yard run, a 53-yard pass from Elliot and another 21-yard run. Elliot finished with four touchdown passes.

The Eagles, who trail only Skyline in the state rankings after formerly second-ranked Mead lost to Gonzaga Prep last weekend, will take on Beamer Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

sliced into his left thigh at the 2010 U.S. Olympic Trials. The cut, caused by a skate, required 60 stitches to close.

But Celski acquired enough points before the injury at the Olympic Trials to qualify for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, where he won two bronze medals just five months after the injury.

Following the 2010 games, Celski took a year off from skating to complete a 90-minute documentary about the Seattlearea hip-hop scene. The documentary is set to debut at some film festivals later this year.

Celski returned to the ice in October 2011 and swept the American Cup 1 event in Missouri.

Celski’s skating career started as a 4-year-old inline skater at Federal Way’s Pattison’s West with his father, Bob, and two brothers, Chris and David. After numerous inline national championships, Celski switched over to the ice as a 12-year-old to follow in the skates of his idol, Apolo Ohno, who was also a former Pattison’s skater and Olympic gold medalist.

An arbitration hearing scheduled to start Nov. 1 seeks his permanent removal. Documents filed as part of the arbitration allege he directed skater Simon Cho to tamper with a Canadian rival’s skates during last year’s world championship.

Celski led a FAST team sweep in Saturday’s 1,000, finishing in 1 minute, 26.576 seconds, ahead of Kyle Carr (1:26.632) and Jeff Simon (1:26.787).

The points Celski earned Saturday coupled with his third-place finish in Friday’s 500 locked up the World

Cup spot.

“I am excited,” Celski said. “I know that this year is going to be a good year.

We have a lot of good, healthy and talented guys coming up and I think we are going to be a force to reckon with around the world.”

Celski is coming back from a broken ankle suffered last year, and said his summer training paid off.

“I put in a lot of hard work in day in and day out,” he said. “You never know what the results are going to be until your race and it feels good to see that I am doing OK.” This wasn’t the first injury Celski has had to come back from in his short career. As a 19-year-old, Celski had a 6-inch gash

Barnette was eventually released by the Swallows after the season and he thought his Japan experiment was over.

But due to a variety of reasons, Barnette was resigned by the Swallows on Jan. 12, 2011, for a second shot. The contract included a club option for 2012, which the Swallows picked up during the offseason.

The one-year extension is worth 58 million yen ($718,330 dollars).

Last season, Barnette made the move into the Swallows’ bullpen and had an impressive year.

He turned into one of the best set-up relievers in the league, notching 22 holds and two saves and had a solid 2.68 ERA in 48 games.

He allowed only 43 hits in 47 innings pitched and struck out 54.

After graduating from TJ in 2002, Barnette moved on to pitch at Central Arizona Community College before a two-year stint at Arizona State, where he pitched at the 2005 College World Series.

We Day launches U.S. movement in Federal Way

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

At age 5, Michel Chikwanine was kidnapped by rebel troops in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The rebels forced the boy to become a soldier. They blindfolded him, drugged him, put a machine gun in his hands, and made him shoot his friend. This was Chikwanine’s initiation into the rebel army.

diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Only five to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations. Other common misperceptions about breast cancer risk include underwire bras, abortion, plastics, deodorant use, breast implants, fertility drugs, hair dyes and trauma to the breast.

One more thing. If you fear a breast cancer diagnosis is a death sentence, let me tell you that is also not the case. Today, there are nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors living in the US. And I am one of them. If you have ever seen our Race for the Cure Survivor’s Parade, you would see many survivors living happy and full lives 30 years after their diagnosis or longer.

Above all, the best advice I can give is to ask you to take an active role in your own breast health. And if you are over 40 years old, and have yet to be been screened for breast cancer, do it today.

In September, Federal Way resident Kay Anthony celebrated five years of living cancer-free. Anthony’s story of survival was profiled in The Mirror this past spring. In 2007, she walked the Seattle 3-Day Race for the Cure with a friend who had survived breast cancer. Just days after the walk, Anthony learned she had breast cancer. Anthony credits the care she received at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way for saving her life. Her husband also instilled an inspiring thought: “Fighting cancer is not a sprint.

It’s a marathon.” Nowadays, Anthony is focused on doing her part to find a cure for breast cancer. Every year, she and a group of friends hold an informal fundraiser that nets a few thousand dollars for Komen. She also participates in every Race for the Cure. MIRROR FILE PHOTO

ing, swelling or a lump, contact your doctor immediately. Most lumps are benign, but only your doctor can determine that for sure.

By performing a breast self-exam at least one time every month, you will become very familiar with how your breasts normally feel and look. This will help make it easier for you to detect any abnormalities.

The sooner breast cancer is detected, the more likely it can be successfully treated.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month – a great time to schedule a mammogram and begin regular selfexams if you are not already doing them. Talk with your doctor or professional health care provider.

Komen Puget Sound is the single largest provider of breast cancer services to women in Washington state and the largest private provider of free mammograms to low-income women.

Komen Puget Sound is the single largest provider of breast cancer services to women in Washington state and the largest private provider of free mammograms to low-income women.

Last year, Komen-funded mammograms resulted in a breast cancer diagnosis for more than 240 women in our community. Our Komen Patient Assistance fund provided financial assistance to over 500 local, low-income breast cancer patients, covering their basic needs while they undergo treatment.

While I am proud of what we have accomplished, I am even more mindful of all that still needs to be done.

Too many of us have lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, or a friend to breast cancer.

While we at Komen certainly had our share of setbacks early this year, the setbacks have only strengthened our sense of urgency. We refuse to be distracted.

There is too much work to do and too many women who rely on our support.

Most importantly, many of our donors, sponsors and volunteers understand our urgency and continue to help during this critical time.

But it is clear that we need increased support to ensure that every woman faced with breast cancer is not a victim of the setbacks we have experienced.

Together we can win our fight and end breast cancer forever. To learn more about Komen Puget Sound and our mission, please visit us online at komenpugetsound. org. And please do so today.

Vitamin D plays a role in prevention of breast cancer, according to local study

By Chandini Portteus VP, Research, Evaluation and Scientific Programs, Susan G. Komen for the Cure

You may be well aware of vitamin D’s part in building better bones, but did you know it might also help in prevention of breast cancer?

Unfortunately, many of us in the Northwest are not getting enough vitamin D. Overweight individuals are at increased risk of low vitamin D levels, possibly because excess fat absorbs and holds onto vitamin D, making it unavailable to the body.

Guns and the economy certain kinds of gun ownership by entering into a U.N. treaty or by administrative fiat.

It is also recognized that every time a mass shooting occurs, many people purchase weapons, often for the first time.

Can Federal Way learn something from Las Vegas and Bellevue? We now have our first indoor range in Federal Way, and another one is in the works. The Bellevue area hosts at least three indoor ranges, and a number of outdoor ranges, all within a short drive from one another. Where there are ranges, there are also firearms schools and other businesses that cater to gun owners. Gunsmiths, holster manufacturers and sales of optics are all examples of markets that Federal Way can tap into.

There are also many vendors that market to law enforcement. Some federal agencies in Federal Way will be utilizing the new ranges, bringing their colleagues to Federal Way for training sessions and spending money in our stores. Some of those vendors must be thinking about relocating to a city that is on the verge of becoming a mecca for law enforcement officers.

Federal Way can only gain by hitching our economy to America’s love affair with firearms — a love affair that shows no signs of receding.

Mark Knapp

FIREARMS LAWYER

Federal Way is positioning itself to enjoy some of the money generated by the firearms industry.

The United States is experiencing a historic wave of new shooters. Bellevue, Wash., and Las Vegas, Nev., are two cities that have attracted successful gunrelated businesses.

Las Vegas received funds from a sell-off of federal lands pursuant to a law that only applies to Nevada. Most of the revenue had to be used on parks, and $64 million has been spent on the Clark County Shooting Complex, located on 2,880 acres north of Tule Springs in the northernmost part of the valley.

The complex will see another $3 million spent to build a facility for shooting clay pigeons.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas has acres of indoor gun ranges all competing for the wave of enthusiasm for shooting activities in and around the strip.

In Washington state, the number of concealed pistol licenses is up by nearly 64,000. Other states are reporting similar increases in concealed weapons permits. Gun rights advocate Dave Workman says the number of gun owners in Washington who have concealed pistol licenses is 358,335. The number has never been so high.

The best estimates of gun sales are based on the number of NICS background checks, which have been soaring right along with the numbers of CPLs. This trend can partly be explained by fears that President Obama will bypass Congress and ban

Teamwork at annual arts festival benefits FUSION’s mission Dear Friends of FUSION, Those who attended the 19th annual FUSION art event, “Moulin Rouge,” on Aug. 1 at the Dumas Bay Centre knew from the moment they stepped under the beautiful red windmill that they were in for a very special evening.

The Paris-themed benefit was set for a fabulous garden party where approximately 650 guests enjoyed a spectacular evening of entertainment, food, wine and merriment.

With the creative and dynamic leadership of chairpersons Lorna Chirilla and Karen Garvey, and the help of more than 100 volunteers, 52 event sponsors, and hundreds of community supporters, FUSION hosted an art soiree that successfully raised a net profit of $135,000 to support their transitional housing program for homeless families.

Keith Eldridge, KOMO 4 News reporter, and wife, Jan Eldridge, along with Angela King, former TV news reporter, presided over the evening’s festivities that included an art walk, local artists, entertainment, a raffle, and silent and live auction. Guests were entertained by can-can dancers from the Federal Way 9th Avenue School of Dance under the direction of Christine Vandenberg with choreography by Tesee George. French-inspired

[28] October 5, 2012 [ GARBAGE from page 1] location away from local that’s why we need to hear from you. … This is exactly why we’re here. To get your input.”

More than 80,000 tons of garbage is collected annually in the King County solid waste system, said Eric Richardt of KCSWD. Garbage and recyclables are collected at eight transfer stations and two drop boxes, which are dispersed throughout the county. The garbage is transported from those locations to Cedar Hills in Maple Valley.

Richardt said a study was done in recent years highlighted the need for the county’s transfer stations to be modernized. Some of that modernization has already taken place in Shoreline and Bow Lake.

In reviewing the Algona transfer station, the county found a number of deficiencies, he said.

“The existing facility at Algona was built over 50 years ago,” Richardt said. “It lacks vehicle cueing space, recycling services, the ability to compact waste, and also lacks space for waste storage in the event of a regional disaster.”

Richardt said modern transfer stations are typically enclosed, which means that odors, noise and dust are not really noticeable side effects for residents nearby. He cited the Shoreline facility, which is located in a residential area of that city, saying there have been few complaints since opening in 2008.

The county had criteria in narrowing down the number of potential sites.

The county was looking for lots 15-20 acres in size, with proximity to arterials, correct zoning, and a

floodplains.

The four chosen sites, with descriptions, can be found at http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste.

FW connection Two local politicians, Federal Way City Councilwoman Dini Duclos and Auburn Mayor Peter Lewis, made it clear that there is going to be some noise from their respective cities regarding these site choices.

Duclos said Federal Way’s largest concern with the 320th Street site is the potential impact on traffic, and how that may affect a new facility South King Fire and Rescue is building nearby.

“It’s very close to the city, right off I-5 and 320th, which is a major entryway for access into the city and has major congestion already,” Duclos said. “There’s a huge concern about safety.

Because the fire department is right across the street, and when that alarm goes off and there’s a traffic jam and there are trucks out there, and they’re delayed to getting wherever they have to get to, the liability costs will be astronomical against the county.”

Lewis said the city of Auburn was uninterested in having a facility located at either of the two proposed sites within that city. Lewis gave notice that he and the city council would draft a resolution in opposition to the proposed sites within Auburn at the next city council meeting.

Update

The Federal Way City Council voted in favor of sending a second letter to King County Executive Dow Constantine, signed

A proposed site for a garbage transfer station is on S. 320th St. just east of Interstate 5 in unincorporated King County. Courtesy image by the council as a whole, expressing the council’s shared concerns over the possible siting of a garbage transfer station on the outskirts of the city, off of South 320th Street.

Rob Van Orsow, solid waste/recycling coordinator for the city’s Public Works department, explained that the criteria the county used to find potential sites: • 15-20 acres in size; • proper zoning; • site within a half-mile of a major arterial; • property cost within budget; • screening for critical areas, such as wetlands.

The impartiality and somewhat odd selection of some of the sites is a result of how the county identified potential sites, Von Orsow said.

“They basically fed these parameters into a computer with parcel data, and it came up with sites that met these criteria as far as highway access, property cost, zoning and size,” he said.

Von Orsow said a decision is expected to be made sometime next year, with the final decision resting with Constantine.

Duclos reiterated her concerns, saying that the site is just a bad choice for Federal Way.

“The location is a poor location for Federal Way because of the traffic ... there could be an impact to the fire department, and there are three wetlands on that property,” Duclos said.

“It’s a bad location.”

Duclos said the early consensus is that the new transfer station will stay in Algona.

“I think everybody believes, since they already bought property in Algona, and I know the mayor of Algona is pretty sure it’s going to end up there. Otherwise, why would you put the money out? They didn’t buy the property here. They didn’t buy the two properties in Auburn. They only bought one,” Duclos said.

Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell said one thing he felt should be addressed with the county and the potential siting of the transfer station would be the possible impact to economic revitalization efforts in Federal Way. “One of the things I don’t think we’ve fully explored is…the tremendously bad effect that this will have on our economic development efforts downtown,” he said. “The mere suggestion of this, in my opinion, is outrageous.”

Beyond a public outreach campaign, Roe said the city is taking steps to foil the thieves at the point of contact.
