City chooses developer for arts center Agreement moves forward for vacant downtown site

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council has picked Seattle-based developer Lorax Partners to begin the first stages of work for the proposed performing arts and conference center (PACC) in downtown Federal Way.

Lorax Partners was chosen over ARCADD Inc., the Massachusettsbased company that proposed the ambitious “Crystal Way” project for another part of the city’s downtown core.

The agreement entered into by

the city during the Oct. 16 meeting is a “pre-development” agreement, meaning that in many respects, it’s an exploratory phase of the project.

The city could choose to opt out of working with Lorax Partners at the end of this pre-development phase.

Even so, council members expressed their pleasure at finally moving forward with the PACC. “I’m very happy we’re at this stage, and that we’re going to take this vote tonight,” said Councilmember Dini Duclos. “That’s the reason I came on the council [ more ARTS CENTER, p. 22 ]

Two men were charged with second-degree murder in connection with a late-night stabbing in Federal Way. Luis Garcia Caceras, a 34-year-old Seatac resident, was stabbed in the chest and abdomen following a bar fight Oct. 13. Caceras also suffered a head injury after he was allegedly hit by the suspect’s Ford Mustang.

He was pronounced dead at 2:44 a.m.

The next night, Federal Way police arrested Jorge Arturo Santos-Rocha, 24, outside an apartment in Kent. He and Santiago De La Cruz, 27, were charged Wednesday with second-degree murder. Arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 29 in Kent. De La Cruz is still at large, and a warrant is out for his arrest. Bail was set at $1 million for the suspects.

The altercation began inside Cafe Arizona 2012 S. 320th St., near the Federal Way Transit Center. Several men were removed from the bar [ more STABBING, p. 22 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Cancer Ninjas fight for cure

Meet the Cancer Ninjas: Federal Way residents Kate Olson, left, and her mother, Rose Jacobi, raise money for leukemia and lymphoma research.

So far, the team has raised about $5,300 for their cause.

“The ultimate goal,” said Rose Jacobi, “is to find a cure.”

By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com

To fight cancer, a Federal Way mother and daughter formed the Cancer Ninjas.

Rose Jacobi and her daughter, Kate Olson, have raised $5,300 so far to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The inspiration comes from their family. All his life, 22-year-old Jonathan Jacobi has struggled with medical issues. He has endured 58 surgeries, minor and major.

Immune deficiencies and related disorders make Jonathan Jacobi more susceptible to developing lymphoma, a blood cancer that targets white blood cells.

Jonathan’s mother and sister launched the Cancer Ninjas in anticipation of a lymphoma diagnosis. So far, he has escaped diagno-

sis, but the disease hovers over the family.

With that in mind, they want to help find a cure for cancer before cancer finds Jonathan.

In 2010, Rose and Kate’s team raised nearly $2,000 for the society’s Light the Night Walk. This past August, the Cancer Ninjas held a fundraiser and silent auction at LifeWay Church in Federal Way. The event

raised more than $1,800, and plans are under way for a similar event in 2013.

They have also raised money through car washes, and a penny drive will run through the end of 2012.

“Everybody has an experience where they’ve been touched by cancer,” said Kate Olson, who got the name Cancer Ninjas from a T-shirt. “I can’t just sit back and watch.”

Aside from raising money, the family holds an annual barbecue and support group for people affected

by Kabuki Syndrome, a rare congenital disorder.

Cancer Ninjas is a “pay it forward” effort, Jacobi said. Their goal is to get more people involved so that Cancer Ninjas can raise more money and help more cancer patients.

“The ultimate goal is to

find a cure,” she said. “Some people just need to know that somebody cares.”

new deputies in the coming months, using funds already available from the King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO) budget.

Strachan credited the ability for the new hires on “good budget management by his patrol operations command staff and sergeants.”

Their work has kept overtime costs down for KCSO, freeing up the funds for the new hires.

“In the past we have had to maintain a large number of unfilled vacancies in order to save money for unforeseen events and to balance our budget,” Strachan said. “Because of the good work of our people at the front lines responsible for managing day to day budgets, we can fill some of those vacancies and put cops on the street.”

King County Executive Dow Constantine, who has been trying to make county government more efficient and cost-effective since he took office in 2009, said he’s pleased to see KCSO taking that mission to heart.

“The key to our reform agenda is to engage employees in a process of continual improvement,” Constantine said. “I appreciate Sheriff Strachan and his staff - from patrol officers to command staff - for piloting a Lean project that cut the use of overtime, helped fill vacancies, and put more police on the street.”

The “Lean project” Constantine referenced is an idea that the he borrowed from car manufacturer Toyota. Essentially, Lean is a focus on efficiency and cost-control at all levels of a particular organization.

According to the county, four of the new deputies were set to be hired this month and last. Five more will be added in November, and the final five will be added to KCSO’s ranks in January.

King County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert said these new deputies will be a boon to all of King County, especially the unincorporated areas.

“I commend our sheriff for managing resources to hire these deputies and keeping public safety in our unincorporated neighborhoods as a priority,” Lambert said.

“These deputies will be deployed in the filed, patrolling the large unincorporated areas and providing an increased presence of law enforcement that deities criminal activity in addition to responding to crime reports.”

Teen wins argument over drugs CRIME

This week’s…

alert

Police Blotter Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Teen gets the ultimate ‘I told you so’ over mom: At 6:43 p.m. Oct. 14 in the 30000 block of 22nd Avenue South, a mother and her teenage son were arguing, with the mother accusing the son of having drugs in the house. The son responded by contacting police and requesting a K-9 unit to come search the house for drugs. Police complied, and no drugs were found in the residence.

• Attends a party, gets assaulted: At 1:01 a.m. Oct. 14 in the 700 block of South 356th Street, a man was attending a party when he was assaulted by

an unknown group of individuals.

The man may have been hit with a glass bottle at some point in the altercation, due to a large laceration discovered on his head. The man was treated for a concussion and was unable to identify any of his potential attackers.

• Sexual assault: At 6:27 a.m.

Oct. 14 at an undisclosed location in Federal Way, a grandmother contacted police regarding her granddaughter. The grandmother found her teenage granddaughter asleep in a treehouse with two teen boys and another teen girl.

The granddaughter indicated that at some point, she was forcibly raped by a 14-year-old male. The report is unclear whether the aforementioned teen boys were being considered suspects.

• Child porn investigation: At 12:07 p.m. Oct. 14 in the 1400 block of South 348th Street, an employee notified police that he

may have found child pornography on a co-worker’s computer. According to the report, the reporting party was transferring data from the co-worker’s old computer to a new computer. During the data transfer, the reporting party discovered the possible child porn.

• Been caught stealing: At 2:38 p.m. Oct. 14 in the 1900 block of South Commons, two minors attempted to steal approximately $39 in merchandise from Macy’s, but were stopped by loss prevention officers. According to the

report, one of the minors also had a flask of alcohol on them at the time of the arrest.

• Child molestation: At 5:48 p.m. Oct. 14 at an undisclosed location in Federal Way, a woman called to report that her husband’s mother’s boyfriend had been sexually molesting her four-yearold daughter. According to the report, the woman learned of the molestation when her daughter complained of vaginal pain, and explained that the boyfriend would touch her in that area when he was around. The four-year-old also indicated that the suspect had molested another four-year-old child who lived in the residence.

• Tools stolen: At 5:11 p.m.

Oct. 14 in the 4000 block of SW 321st Street, a man reported that approximately $877 in tools had been stolen from his residence. The man said he believed his son may be responsible for the theft, but could not provide any evidence to substantiate his claim. The victim believed his son might have been responsible because the son has addiction issues.

Twists and turns in House race Federal Way City Councilmember Linda Kochmar and businessman Roger Flygare provide the public with a clear contrast in policies and style in the race to replace Mark Miloscia in the state House.

It has also become the most contentious matchup, although more so between supporters than the candidates.

Kochmar is a well connected Republican political insider whose name identification is among the highest in the district after serving on the city council for 14 years. She has a strong historical background in city issues. Her many years at Lakehaven Utility District, prior to her recent retirement, gives her a perspective on special purpose districts.

She has been active with the Suburban Cities Association and has the endorsement of many mayors and council members from surrounding cities. She has served as the council’s mayor and deputy mayor, and twice been selected as the Best City Leader in the annual Federal Way Mirror poll. She attends almost every public event in town and her personal favorableness would be very high in any poll due to her outgoing nature.

Kochmar mentions low taxes, building City Hall, the new Community Center, an improved permit system, and her support for transportation projects as accomplishments that prove she is ready to serve in the Legislature. She feels her experience is the major difference between her and her opponent.

Her detractors say she is more conservative then her primary campaign suggests because her strategy was to outflank two more conservative Republican candidates and appeal to moderates and independents.

They point to her endorsements from busi-

ness groups, and suggest that she has elevated her support for business issues at the expense of education, which had been her higher priority earlier.

Her opponents question her leadership and say she side-stepped many of the hot topics at the recent debates by deferring to a public vote. She refused to take positions on same-sex marriage, abortion, and a two-thirds majority vote of the Legislature to increase taxes. Further, opponents say she didn’t provide any answers on what she would cut in the state budget to increase funding for education, and didn’t answer a question about whether she had read the state budget.

Kochmar has raised more than $70,000 for her race, including $25,000 from the House Republican Organizing Committee, which will likely spend more through separate channels to support her. Although she hasn’t done a significant amount of door-belling, she has upgraded her signs to include her picture, and has a good television commercial running.

Flygare is a longtime active Democrat, but has been somewhat of a political outsider in Federal Way prior to his unsuccessful run for the city council last year. He is friendly, but more reserved. He is a small businessman and understands firsthand the challenges small businesses face. He is also a strong supporter of unions and collective bargaining. He is knowledgeable about the Legislature and has worked on many pieces of legislation related to his business.

Flygare supports same-sex marriage and a woman’s right to choose. He opposes charter schools and the two-thirds majority vote of the Legislature tax requirement. [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Let’s talk about pink.

Perhaps you are already pinked-out this month from pink ribbons, pink candy, pink clothing, and pink accessories sported by NFL players.

Or perhaps you’re excited that the Susan G. Komen Foundation has teamed up with Seattle gun distributor Discount Gun Sales LLC to sell pink handguns.

Maybe you’re wondering where Komen draws the line. It’s with porn.

The foundation recently announced it would not accept a donation from Pornhub.com, even though the site’s owners were planning to give nearly $25,000 to Komen this month from views of certain “breast-related videos.” The rejection came in spite of Pornhub’s message: “Together we can give fundraising our breast shot!”

According to research from Cone Communications, four out of five consumers are likely to shift to a brand that supports a cause, if everything else is equal. Some would argue this is our free market economy at work, and it’s all for a good cause.

But is it?

Certain companies are selling pink products to support breast cancer awareness, when those same products contain cancer-causing ingredients.

Eli Lilly, which makes drugs to treat breast cancer, is now the only company to manufacture rBGH, an artificial growth hormone linked with breast cancer. What’s good about that?

The National Breast Cancer Coalition reports that breast cancer awareness campaigns have been successful at raising, well, awareness. They have not made a significant impact on lowering the incidents of women with stage 4 breast cancer or on deaths from breast cancer.

African American women still have a higher mortality rate from breast cancer than white women or women of other races. And while lowincome women may receive more mammograms because of raised awareness, treatment for them once they are diagnosed is still often out of their reach due to lack of health care coverage and cost.

Not only that, but recent research out of Washington University in St. Louis has identified four genetically distinct types of breast cancer, each of which responds to different treatments. This issue is much more complicated and multi-layered than pink ribbons, pink M&Ms, or pink anything.

Enter a growing cadre of women breast cancer survivors who are increasingly outraged that their horrific, life-threatening conditions are being fluffed over and pinkified. It’s like our “disease is being used for people to profit,” says one survivor, in a trailer for the movie “Pink Ribbons, Inc.,” which opened earlier this year.

More and more women “resent the effort to make breast cancer pretty and feminine and normal. It’s not normal, it’s horrible,” says another woman in the film. [ more JOHNSON, page 8 ]

Hold the schools accountable Alas, it is the middle of October again, and for the second year in a row, the students, families and staff

of the Federal Way School District do not have a functioning grading system.

Why is this happening again? Was the lesson not learned last year? Why is the school board not requiring the superintendent and district administration to be accountable for not having a functional grad-

ing system when school starts in the beginning of September?

No business can run effectively without a functional operating system.

And yet, the school district turned off the grading system on the last day of school in June and we still do not have a working system. This would not be acceptable in the business [ more LETTERS, page 8 ]

What struck me most

October 19, 2012 [5] council passed over Flygare for appointment to a city commission because he stated he had been a member of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce longer than he had. Flygare said it was a staff error that he corrected. Flygare believes the questions are over small details.

In a subtle reference to Flygare’s literature problems, Kochmar says “I’m the one you can trust.”

Both candidates oppose tax increases, but Flygare notes the city council including Kochmar raised property taxes in 2010 and 2011.

Flygare has received backing from several unions, including the firefighters union and Federal Way Police Officers Guild.

Flygare’s Municipal League rating was “Very Good,” as was Kochmar’s.

The police endorsement of Flygare likely comes with two meanings. It does reflect his historical support for unions, but it also may express the guild’s displeasure with Kochmar’s support for Mayor Skip Priest’s efforts to cut back police contract benefits.

That’s a gamble for the guild, because if Kochmar loses she will still be on the city council and still have a role in police contract and budget issues.

Both candidates have money left for the closing

Flygare did identify a couple of small areas to cut in the budget that could be used for education.

He would favor stopping paychecks to legislators if they go into special session. while Dillard-Heron Flygare has sent out several mailers and, while his signs related her story was how don’t match Kochmar’s for people added value from visibility, they are effective. their lives to hers in a Flygare has raised traumatic period of her $114,000, including a life.

In a twist, Mayor Priest endorsed Kochmar, although Flygare’s son does work for M.J. Durkin, whom the mayor hired to do the city’s lobbying.

Flygare’s business background and knowledge of the Legislature are assets in this campaign. But questions about the accuracy of his material have overshadowed the race significantly.

While The Mirror endorsed Flygare, the paper’s editorial board did take strong exception to the accuracy of his statements and literature.

Flygare has been the most active candidate at door-belling. That brings him into direct contact with voters, and provides him a face to face opportunity to respond to their questions.

While Kochmar is one of the most well known political figures in town, conventional wisdom says this is a Democratic year and that should favor Flygare. But how voters react to the questions surrounding Flygare, particularly among independents, will have a major impact on the outcome of this race.

Best guess? The Republicans pick up a seat.

Kochmar wins.

‘We Day’ kickoff inspires food drives

By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Oct. 2 saw the launch of “We Day” in the United States, with a spirited and powerful assembly inside Federal Way High School.

Started by Canadian activist Craig Kielburger as an extension of his Free the Children organization, We Day has become a powerful tool of motivation for students in Canada. We Day gathers thousands of students together each year with the aim of inspiring them to be a part of the change they believe should happen in the world.

Decatur High School launched a “Gator Give” program on Oct. 17, as the Gators’ version of “We Scare Hunger,” one of the programs that has been successfully running under the Free the Children/We Day banner for a number of years now.

Federal Way High School will lead a We Scare Hunger collection drive Oct. 31. Teens will trick-or-treat for canned goods to benefit the Multi-Service Center Food Bank.

“One of the initiatives for Free the Children is We Scare Hunger,” said Shawn Simpson, professional development program administrator for FWPS. “And in fact, in that one day, Canada collects more food for people

Our kids have launched that campaign and are very excited about it.”

Deactur will hold an assembly on the food drive on Oct. 26, and also have plans to hold a dance where admission will be one can of nonperishable food, said Simpson.

All of this is leading up to the very first large-scale We Day event in the U.S., which runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

March 27 at Key Arena. Students have to commit to one “local” and one “global” action in order to be able to attend, although tickets will be limited.

“Many people say that when you experience a We Day, it gives you chills,” Simpson said. “The power of children in a room, belonging, believing and becoming something bigger. It’s so exciting it sends chills up your spine.”

[8] October 19, 2012 [ JOHNSON from p. 4] [ LETTERS from page 4] Before you buy anything else pink this month that seems to be associated with breast cancer awareness, ask these questions from ThinkBeforeYouPink. org: • Does any money from this purchase go to support breast cancer programs? How much?

• What organization will get the money?

• What will they do with the funds, and how do these programs turn the tide of the breast cancer epidemic?

• Is there a limit on the amount the company will donate and has this maximum donation already been met?

• Does this purchase put you or someone you love at risk for exposure to toxins linked to breast cancer?

• What is the company doing to ensure that its products are not contributing to the breast cancer epidemic?

Better yet, send a donation directly to the organization you support. Forget focusing on pink. Think before you buy. Think before you give. It’s what this month is all about.

world and it should not be acceptable for our students, parents and teachers as well. During a summer school board meeting, it was stated that there were 47 recommendations for the grading system. We have heard from staff that there are essentially no changes. The teachers will still not see what we as parents and students see at home on the GO2 system, so major confusion will continue when we, as parents, have questions.

It is disappointing to know that the school board does not have higher expectations for the administration and how our tax money is spent.

Mirror endorsed the wrong guy The Federal Way Mirror is still listed as having endorsed Roger Flygare for 30th District state representative.

Roger Flygare has apparently used his glib speaking ability to smooth over with the publisher and editorial board what The Mirror has ineloquently referred to as some sort of isolated “misstatement” regarding his brief military service. It is proving to be a lifelong misrepresentation of military service for personal and business gain, what some people call “stolen valor.”

However, facts are emerging that your continued endorsement of Roger Flygare is questionable to the many veterans that have honorably served our coun-

www.federalwaymirror.com try. Recently, Flygare admitted to having inflated his number of Vietnam tours for personal gain, and now he is also actively sanitizing all reference to his Purple Heart. While his Purple Heart was omnipresent in all campaign literature, voter publications, appearances and advertising, now it is mysteriously gone from view with no mention of such an honorable recognition. Why? While this newspaper’s continued endorsement for an admitted liar is abhorrent in itself, the investigations of numerous organizations established to defend the honor of our military and ferret out stolen valor are on the cusp of definitively exposing Flygare. Failure on the part of The Mirror to quickly make a public statement removing their endorsement of an admitted liar to elected office is condoning his lifelong lie, condoning stolen valor activities and paramount to complicity.

Is an admitted liar the person you want to represent us in any elected office?

Jerry Galland, uninc. King County

Thoughts about recent debates For all practical purposes, Federal Way is my city, but I live in unincorporated Kent and cannot vote in Federal Way. However, I am particularly interested in both of the House positions in Federal Way and am supporting two of the candidates.

Even though I can’t vote in Federal Way, for the first

time I attended the debates at the Little Theater at Federal Way High School, and frankly I was disappointed.

As little as that theater is, at least a third of the seats were empty, and most of the people present were middle aged (like me) or older.

Those empty seats should have been filled to capacity. Especially missing were young adults. If one does not get involved, one cannot complain. More important, how can uninformed voters make wise decisions?

Also, I thought Roger Flygare had a bad attitude when asked about his military service. He was presented a wonderful opportunity to apologize for his lies and exaggerations.

He should expect to apologize often and sincerely.

He came across as very arrogant.

Linda Kochmar had a golden opportunity to lambast him on that topic, but she didn’t. Instead she thanked him for his military service. What a lady! I also thought her definition of integrity was spot on.

Integrity is a decision of the heart. I will now step off my soapbox.

Debbie Willis, Kent

Asay is best pick for state rep.

Before the primary election, I received campaign literature from Federal Way City Councilman Roger Freeman, who is running for state representative position 2 against incumbent Katrina Asay.

The direct mail piece touts him as “your advocate in Olympia.” After going

to his website to obtain more information about his candidacy, I learned he is endorsed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Washington Education Association (WEA), and the Washington State Federation of State employees (AFSCMEWFSE 28) among others.

These organizations represent labor unions, teachers unions, and state workers unions and certainly don’t represent my values or interests in the state Legislature.

If a candidate is beholden to special interest groups such as the WEA or SEIU, how can the claim be made that he will be my advocate in Olympia? Also, he states in his direct mail piece that the last thing we need to do is raise taxes in tough economic times. If he truly believes this, then he should be in favor of Initiative 1185. Initiatives such as 1185 have been passed by the voters four times since 1993 and these initiatives require a two-thirds majority vote of the Legislature in order to raise taxes.

Unfortunately, the most recent one (I-960) was suspended by the Legislature in 2010. Where does he stand on I-1185? I’m not sure because nowhere could I find any information about where he stands on this initiative let alone the other initiatives and referendums that will be appearing on the ballot. It seems as if he is refusing to tell citizens his stance on these issues despite repeated requests.

Lastly, the Citizen Alliance for Property Rights (CAPR) gives him a “Fair” rating whereas his opponent, Katrina Asay, receives a “Good” rating. This would

Vote for the most private & public sector experience

seem to suggest that Asay is more of an advocate for the rights of the private property owner than Freeman.

Upon further review it looks as if Roger Freeman won’t be my advocate in Olympia, but will be just a shill for big labor, big education, and big government. My true advocate in Olympia is Katrina Asay and I urge all voters to reelect Asay to the state house for position 2.

Dan Miller, Federal Way

Milton voter likes Freeman We first met Roger Freeman when we were in the midst of organizing a spaghetti fundraiser for a friend who has cancer. Mr. Freeman offered to help make sauce for the event, but he didn’t stop there. He went above and beyond our expectations, donating items for the auction and working in the kitchen helping to cook and serve the dinner.

Prior to this event, we had never met Mr. Freeman and knew nothing about him. Now, what we know about him is that he is a generous man with a genuine willingness to serve. We know that he will continue that same level of caring and commitment as our state representative, position 2. He will serve us well as our voice in Olympia.

New greenhouse at Camelot Elementary School garden From staff reports

Camelot Elementary School in Federal Way is a 2012 recipient of the $5,000 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education grant. On Thursday, Lowe’s sent a team of employees and community volunteers to deliver and assemble a 6-foot-by-16-foot greenhouse for the school’s community garden.

Some of the grant money went to purchase the greenhouse. The rest will go toward shelving and potting tables for the greenhouse, class sets of garden tools for students, and tables and benches for an outdoor classroom. The Camelot community garden is used daily by students as young as pre-school up to fifth grade. The kindergarten class harvested a whole bucket of tomatoes the other day and had them for a healthy snack.

The greenhouse will extend the garden’s growing season and provide many more opportunities for active, hands-on learning.

Instead of having to pay a delivery fee and a separate installation charge, the Auburn Lowe’s sent a team of managers, employees, and volunteers to deliver and set it up free of charge.

According to Camelot

teacher Darcy Borg: “This is just another way that local businesses and schools work together to provide better learning opportunities for students and improve community relationships.

Light of Christ Church dedicates community garden bodied and the disabled are all welcomed to participate in the management, building and harvest of the garden.

Community participation and improvement are primary objectives.

The garden has been built, planted and harvested by individuals, families and groups in our community. There are five Eagle Scout projects from BSA Troop 336 throughout the garden and four memorials.

There was a late start in building and planting due to a cold, wet spring. In spite of these challenges, numerous individuals and families have been helped on a regular basis along with community reach out programs receiving fresh, organic produce from the gar-

On Sept. 16, 2012, the Light of Christ Community Garden, located at 34249 21st Ave. SW in Federal Way, had their garden dedication and ribbon cutting.

In attendance was Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest, many of the city council members and many individuals and families from the community.

The goal of the garden is to cultivate the spirit of community, neighborhood and diversity by growing food collaboratively and sustainably.

Cut back on buying a variety of liquor by serving a holiday punch or signature drink, such as candy cane martinis. If champagne is in order, try fresh pomegranate seeds in a champagne flute, add pomegranate juice, then fill with champagne.

Paper plates, napkins and plastic cutlery can actually cheapen the occasion and add to your costs. Add a touch of class with real plates – they don’t have to match! Using vintage handkerchiefs as napkins, can make the ordinary, extraordinary!

Use clippings from evergreen shrubs or trees to make garland and wreaths. Use real fruit with greens for a festive centerpiece. No need for expensive store-bought potpourri simmer apple cider, fresh cloves and cinnamon on your stove.

Unbeaten Federal Way will take on Auburn and Curtis next two weeks, who are a combined 12-2 this season

by CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The second-ranked Federal Way football team hasn’t played a close game all season long.

In fact, the Eagle starters haven’t played a lot of football during the third and fourth quarters this year.

That just comes along with starting the season 7-0, while beating their South Puget Sound League South Divi-

sion opponents by an average score of 50-16.

Even more stunning is the fact that games haven’t even been that close.

In total, Federal Way has outscored its opponents, 285-55, during the first half. In contrast, the Eagles have only tallied 63 points in the third and fourth quarters, compared to 57 by their opponents. [ more game of the week page 17 ]

The coming-together of politicians and a private investor to build a publicly-funded arena in Seattle was a pipe dream five years back.

“While we still have a long way to go, this is the most significant step the region has made to bring back the NBA since 2008,” said King County Councilman [ more sidelines page 16 ]

SIDELINES

It looks like the hardest part of constructing a new, publicly-funded sports arena in Seattle’s Sodo district is complete.

But now comes the “icky” part — stealing a team from another city.

Seattle-native Chris Hansen has convinced the area’s politicians to approve his plan to build a $490 million basketball/hockey facility with $200 million in public funds.

Another year, another league championship for the Thomas Jefferson boys tennis team. The Raiders won their second consecutive South Puget Sound League Tournament title Tuesday at Auburn Riverside High School.

Jefferson, who were unbeaten during the SPSL Central season, outdistanced Kentridge to win the championship.

Kentridge, who won the regular season SPSL North title, ended up 10 points behind TJ, 45-35.

The Raiders Mitch Stewart will be sending a pair of singles players and three doubles teams on the West Central/Southwest District Tournament, which will be held Oct. 26-27 at the Capitol City Court Club in Olympia.

Alex Chan lost in the championship to Federal Way junior Mitch Stewart, 6-1, 6-0. Stewart is the defending Class 4A singles champion and is looking to qualify for his third-straight state final. He finished second as a freshman.

Stewart will be joined at the district tournament by his teammate, Alex Lewis. Lewis finished sixth after losing to Kentlake’s Derek Welch, 6-1, 6-0, in the third/sixth match Tuesday.

Tracking the grads: Girls soccer players excelling in college

Holland Crook — The 2010 Beamer grad is playing her junior season at Arizona State University. Crook, a midfielder, was an all-state selection three times in high school, as well as the state player of the year.

Crook scored the first goal of her career on a penalty kick in a 3-0 win over Loyola Marymount Sept. 14 and followed with another goal against

Florida International on Sept. 16 at the Cats Classic Tournament in Tucson. For her performance in the two games, Crook was named to the All-Tournament Team.

This season, she has played in all 15 Sun Devil matches and has the two goals and two assists. Arizona State is 6-8-1 on the year.

Last year, Crook played in all 20 of Arizona State’s matches and had a pair of assists. She also earned Pac-12 AllAcademic honorable mention honors.

Jenna Peterson — The Decatur graduate is playing her senior season at Concordia University in Oregon.

The defender was forced to redshirt last season after a foot injury. As a junior in 2010, Peterson was named second-team NAIA All-American after Concordia’s defense gave up just seven goals on the season.

This year, Peterson has started all 13 matches and Concordia is 11-0-2.

Peterson has two assists. Concordia is [ more tracking grads page 18 ]

The Sacramento Kings are on top of the plucking order for Hansen and Seattle to steal. The Kings seem like a brand-new Mercedes sitting in an abandoned parking lot with no lights, windows down and keys dangling from the ignition.

They are just asking to be stolen.

The Kings and its owners, Joe and Gavin Maloof, have had a rocky relationship with the city of Sacramento for more than a decade.

Things seemed to improve in March when the Maloofs agreed to a deal with Mayor Kevin Johnson on a new arena deal. But weeks later, the owners pulled out.

It seems the only obstacle between Hansen acquiring the Kings and moving them to Seattle are the Maloofs, who seem unwilling to sell the team. Reportedly, they turned down a $400 million offer last year.

Other possible candidates to relocate could be the Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets or Minnesota Timberwolves.

“The return of the Seattle SuperSonics would enrich our region,” said King County Councilman Joe McDermott, who sponsored the legislation. “I am pleased we are moving forward.”

The $200 million public investment would be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena. If that money falls short, Hansen would be responsible for making up the rest.

Under the deal, the arena proposal will undergo an environmental review that could take a year. The review will also look at whether other sites, including Seattle Center or Bellevue, should be considered for the new arena.

Seattle fans know all about the hatred that went along with Clay Bennett and his cronies, who moved the Sonics from Seattle to Oklahoma City in July 2008.

Fans remember the feeling of disbelief that followed.

How could a franchise with 40 years of history and the only major sports championship in the region’s existence just up and move? How could Oklahoma City and its fanbase accept a team that they stole from Seattle?

We will find out how it feels soon enough. It looks like the only way Seattle will get an NBA franchise is to “steal” one. Hansen will have to buy an existing team and move it to Seattle because the NBA has no plans to expand beyond 30 teams.

I don’t know how it’s going to feel. Most likely, I wouldn’t care one bit about stealing another city’s NBA team. And eye for an eye, I guess.

But there is a part of me that will feel a bit bad for the fans who are losing a team to Seattle. I clearly remember exactly where I was when I heard the Sonics were moving to Oklahoma City. And that’s saying a lot, because I was in Las Vegas at the time on a three-day bender.

I couldn’t believe Bennett could look himself in the mirror after buying the Sonics with the intention of moving them to his hometown of Oklahoma City. I couldn’t believe Howard Schultz, the former owner, would sell the team to Bennett knowing he wanted to move them out of Seattle.

I also couldn’t believe that I wouldn’t be able to claim Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook as my own, like

Eagle sophomore Chico McClatcher picks up scholarship offer from UW

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Despite being only a sophomore, Federal Way scat back Chico McClatcher already has college football programs knocking down his door.

Last week, the 5-foot-7, 165-pounder picked up his second full-ride scholarship offer. This one came from the hometown University of Washington Husky football program, according to scout.com.

“I was very excited, very excited,” McClatcher told the recruiting website. “It shows they are really interested in me. I am just going to keep working hard in school and grades, that’s all I got to worry about.”

McClatcher also has a scholarship offer from Portland State and is getting a ton of interest from schools like UCLA, Washington State and Oregon State, he said.

As of this moment, it looks like the Huskies are his favorite, but it is way too early to speculate on where he will be playing football in three years.

“I talked to coach Sark (Steve

Sarkisian) and it just went from there,” McClatcher told scout.com. “I want to wait, but Washington is close to home and I want to stay close to my family and friends.”

The shifty all-around back leads the Eagles with 13 touchdowns on the season, including nine scores of 30-yards or more. He has also returned three punts for touchdowns for 7-0 and second-ranked Federal Way. Washington cannot make a written offer of a scholarship until Sept.

1 of McClatcher’s senior year of high school and college coaches cannot comment on players until they sign their letters of intent.

Last season as a ninth-grader, McClatcher finished with 350 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

If he were to give a non-binding, verbal commitment, McClatcher wouldn’t be the youngest player this year to pledge to play at the University of Washington.

In July, 14-year-old San Diego eighth-grader, Tate Martell, said he would be signing with the Huskies

Chico McClatcher has scored 13 total touchdowns this season for the Eagles. to play quarterback beginning in the fall of 2017.

McClatcher isn’t the only Federal Way player to receive scholarship offers. Linebacker Albert Havili has offers from Montana State and Eastern Washington, wide receiver Mike Tate has offers from Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Portland State and defensive back D’Londo Tucker has received offers from Eastern Washington, Portland State and Idaho.

Miss WA Teen USA contestant represents Federal Way in a pageant this weekend From staff reports

This year’s Miss Washington USA and Miss Washington Teen USA pageants will showcase contestants from all across the state, providing them with nearly $900,000 in prizes, scholarships, cash and life-changing opportunities.

The 2013 pageants will be held Oct. 20–21 at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien.

Among the contestants for Miss Washington Teen USA is Federal Way resident Imani Blackmon, 17. She is a senior at Todd Beamer High School.

Online voting for the Miss Photogenic and the People’s Choice Award is available until Oct. 20 at misswashingtonusa.com.

Whoever receives the most votes in the latter category will make the semi-finals of the competition.

Imani Blackmon is a senior at Todd Beamer High School. COURTESY PHOTO This weekend’s winners will go on to compete for the title of Miss Teen USA and Miss USA. The winner of Miss USA will go on to compete for Miss Universe.

originally. I was worried about our downtown and I wanted to see economic development get started down there. And this is one great way to get it started.”

Councilmember Jeanne Burbidge echoed Duclos’ sentiments. She feels Lorax Partners is a good fit for the city’s plans downtown. “(The PACC) can serve a very useful function not only in providing the services that the name implies, but also in forming a kind of anchor for downtown,” she said. “And it can also provide some really significant synergy that will result in additional development that we’re all looking forward to and will benefit our city in terms of civic health, and also the very much needed economic development that we’ve been work-

ing so hard to provide as a foundation for the city.”

The proposed performing arts and conference center would be built at the former Toys R’ Us site on 20th Avenue South near the Federal Way Transit Center.

Lorax Partners provided three initial ideas for the PACC project, said Patrick Doherty, the city’s director of economic and community development.

“One was just a standalone performing arts center. I’m not sure that’s where we want to go, but this idea just showed how it could fit on the site and leave the remainder of the site for future development,” Doherty said. “They showed a full program with the PACC and a hotel. And then they just showed, for purposes of illustration, that if we didn’t go that way, urban residential could be brought (here).”

Lorax Partners wants to make sure the PACC project is a true partnership.

“They’re positioning that this is our facility, and it should be designed in conjunction with our input,” he said. “As opposed to designing something and hoping that it meets our objectives.”

This first phase would be about three months long, and would include a concept design, a “baseline programmatic design concept,”

functional planning, 3-D massing models, a site plan, and alternative building configurations and parking, Doherty said.

The agreement entered into by the city is not permanently binding.

“The first phase does not obligate the city to enter into the ultimate development agreement.

It’s obviously a first step in the direction of that partnership, but it does not obligate,” he said. “We can receive that information and that concept design and stop here if we choose to.”

This first stage would cost approximately $255,000, Doherty said, and would “accrue” to the $750,000 redevelopment/design account from the City Center Redevelopment Fund.

The Lorax Partners team for this project will consist of LMN Architects, Mortenson Construction, CBRE Hotels and Columbia Hospitality. LMN Architects is a firm that the city is familiar with already, and one that Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell wondered would fit in this project.

Previously, the city received some cost estimates from LMN Architects for the PACC in the range of $40 million. A concurrent study at that time from a smaller, less prestigious architectural firm, Westlake Associates of Colorado, could do the project for approximately $20 million.

Ferrell wondered if LMN’s presence would once again mean a spike in costs.

Doherty said that those cost issues would probably not arise this time around, because part of the agreement between the city and Lorax Partners would be a guaranteed maximum price for the PACC. What that guaranteed maximum price would be is still undetermined at this time, Doherty said, although there is a general sense of the cost being in the range of $25 million to $30 million.

[ STABBING from page 1] by security for fighting. According to police, two of the men ran eastbound away from the bar. Two more men caught up to them near Denny’s and continued fighting. Two suspects fled the scene in the green Mustang, which had struck another man involved in the fight, according to police.

The incident stemmed from alleged rude remarks by the victims about a suspect’s mother, according to charging papers.
