Baden Schools face murky budget outlook Sports leaves NEWS quietly By GREG ALLMAIN
gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
This year is no different than recent years when it comes to the 2013-14 budget planning for Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS), although state education funding and politics create a murky picture of what’s ahead.
“Obviously, for those of us in McLean was referencing last the K-12 community, we believe year’s State Supreme Court decithat the Legislature’s response sion on inadequate education to the McCleary decision funding. “The question right EDUCATION now, that we all have, is will should be a significant factor in their budget developit be?” ment,” said Sally McLean, McLean noted that the assistant superintendent of state’s Economic Forecast business services, at the school Council had predicted a “$2 board’s Feb. 26 meeting. billion-ish” budgetary shortfall,
without addressing the McCleary decision. “So the state, even though we continue to see some modest economic recovery signs, will still have a $2 billion gap predicted in the (2013-15) biennial budget without addressing McCleary,” she said. In addition, Washington voters [ more SCHOOLS, page 12 ]

After 20 years in Federal Way, Baden Sports Inc. moved its world headquarters so quietly that city officials found out after the fact. The company specializes in sports equipment like basketballs, footballs, volleyballs, playground balls, baseballs and axehandled bats. In December, Baden upgraded to a bigger space in Renton, the city where the family-owned company first launched in 1979. Baden needed a larger facility and “couldn’t find one in the immediate Federal Way area that met our needs,” said Steve Thompson, chief operating officer. “We had basically outgrown the building there.” In 1993, Baden opened a nearly $3 million factory and warehouse in Federal Way with 70 employees. Annual revenue in recent years has been reported between $27 million and $36 million, according to online sources, and the private company employs about 90 people. The 60,000-square-foot Federal Way facility now sits vacant at S. 341st Place and 21st Avenue S., [ more BADEN, page 10 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Quick-thinking citizens save lives By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
When the 4-year-old boy stopped talking and went unconscious, his mother sought a neighbor for help. Lina Yefimchuk had just finished a CPR class the week before. The boy was turning blue and suffering seizures. Yefimchuk knew right away that he was choking. She performed the Heimlich maneuver and
dislodged a piece of sandwich from his throat. “He came alive,” she said, describing the moment she cleared the boy’s airway. Anatoliy and Oksana Korets, who live near Five Mile Lake in unincorporated King County, are grateful Yefimchuk was home to save little Brian’s life last July. “We’re blessed to have each other next door,” said Anatoliy Korets after his
neighbor was honored Tuesday by South King Fire and Rescue. “Thank God it was one of those times she was home.” South King Fire also recognized heroes in two other life-or-death situations from 2012. On Sept. 22, Buckley resident Donald Ymer was eating lunch at Old Country Buffet in Federal Way when he noticed a man choking. [ more HEROES, page 11 ]

From tighter security and more cameras to anti-bully awareness, Federal Way’s conversation about school safety in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy continues. Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) Deputy Superintendent Mark Davidson gave a security update at the school board’s Feb. 26 meeting. Davidson touched on what the district has been doing since the fateful events in Newtown, Conn., last December. Security audits have been taking place at all of the district’s elementary schools, and those audits are now being done for the secondary schools. Dave Remmem, safety and security manager for FWPS, is currently doing safety audits at each school, Davidson said. “He’s completed the audits at the 23 K-8 (schools) we have,” Davidson said. “He’s now working with the secondary schools, and once that’s completed, Federal Way Police Department, school security and each principal will be working together on the plans [ more SAFETY, page 12 ]

Korean nightclub madam sentenced in immigration case Mirror staff reports
The madam of a nationwide Korean prostitution ring headquartered in Federal Way was sentenced to prison on charges of immigration fraud. Auburn resident Miyoung Roberts, 42, operated the Blue Moon nightclub on Pacific Highway South. On Friday, she was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of supervised release, according to U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan’s office. Between 2009 and 2012, Roberts arranged illegal immigration for

more than 24 Korean women who traveled around the United States to work at similar nightclubs. According to the attorney’s office, Roberts had “earned a reputation for being a successful room salon madam.” Roberts also counseled the women, who served as “bar girls,” on how to avoid detection by immigration authorities. She set up apartments for the women and supervised some of the women’s prostitution activities, according to the attorney’s office. Roberts had gained U.S. citizenship through a fake marriage, and in an attempt to arrange a fake marriage for someone else, she recruited an undercover agent who was working on the case. Eight people were indicted in January 2012 for their roles in the prostitution ring. Chang Kim, the owner of the Blue Moon in Federal Way, will be sentenced this month. Kim faces five criminal counts involving $15,000 in bribes he allegedly paid the undercover officer in the case.

At Village Green you can feel like you’re living on acres in the countryside, just steps away from the city. There’s no better time than Spring time to choose your little space in the country with special incentives during the month of March.
Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Son and daughter discover father dead: At 11:43 a.m. Feb. 24 at an undisclosed location, a daughter and son broke into their father’s residence after several days of not hearing from him. According to the report, the two discovered their father dead. The report notes that detectives were dispatched to the scene because of “suspicious circumstances.” An autopsy was conducted Monday and the cause of death has not been determined, according to a police spokeswoman. The King County Medical Examiner is awaiting toxicology test results. “The ‘suspicious circumstances’ are nothing specific other than when police are called to an unattended death,” the spokeswoman wrote in an email to The Mirror. “The initial investigation did not reveal anything suspicious.” • Suspicious vehicle: At 12:57 a.m. Feb. 24 in the 32000 block of 16th Avenue SW, police contacted the occupants of a suspicious vehicle. Upon contact, one occupant gave a false name until correctly identifying himself, at which point it was discovered that the occupant had two active warrants. The other occupant consented to a search of the vehicle, at which time stolen mail and a methamphetamine pipe were discovered. • Vehicle window smashed: At 3:07 a.m. Feb. 24 in the 36000 block of 9th Avenue SW, a man reported that the rear window of his vehicle had been smashed by unknown suspects throwing a rock. According to the report, the man was staying at a friend’s house and heard the window break, but was unable to identify any suspects or a suspect vehicle. • Counterfeit $50: At 5:18 a.m. Feb. 24 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway South, a suspect paid for a pack of cigarettes using a counterfeit $50 bill. According to the report, the suspect was contacted at the store, at which time he said he had received the fake bill from a private party whose car
he had worked on recently. • Fight over TV remote turns violent: At 9:14 a.m. Feb. 24 in the 35000 block of 25th Avenue SW, a man was struck in his face by his mother when they argued over the TV remote. According to the report, the mother was arrested for domestic violence. • Stupid thief: At 2:57 p.m. Feb. 24 in the 2200 block of South Commons, a woman was arrested for attempting to shoplift $119.94 worth of merchandise from the Target store. According to the report, the woman was also in violation of a trespass order, which stemmed from her previous attempts to steal merchandise from Macy’s. • Mother roughs up son: At 9:53 p.m. Feb. 24 in the 34000 block of 30th Avenue SW, a mother physically attacked her son and was arrested for domestic violence. According to the report, the son alleged that his mother had squeezed his throat twice, slapped him, and spit in his face. The report said the son had an abrasion on his arm from his mother forcibly pushing him into a wall. • 14-year-old plays White Knight: At 12:29 a.m. Feb. 23 in the 2500 block of South 286th Place, a young woman was being threatened by a young man. At some point, a 14-year-old boy interjected and fought the young man who was threatening the young woman. The report notes the young man showed visible injuries, but was uncooperative with police. • Drunk mom tries to get son in trouble: At 10:55 a.m. Feb. 23 in the 28000 block of Pacific Highway South, a woman alleged that her son had choked her during an argument. According to the report, the woman was heavily intoxicated and later recanted her allegation. Instead, a witness related the woman had tried to goad her son by poking at him, at which time he pushed her hands away. • Goes on Craigslist, finds his stolen car: At 10:04 a.m. Feb. 23 in the 35000 block of Enchanted Parkway South, a man reported that he had found his recently stolen car being sold for parts on Craigslist. The victim had initiated contact with the seller and turned those communications over to police.

Big Lots will close Federal Way store By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
Discount retailer Big Lots will close its Federal Way store. Located at 1211 S. 320th St. next to Safeway, the department store will close April 15 due to not being able to work out a leasing deal for the property, according to corporate spokeswoman Toni Fink. “They are in search of finding a new location in Federal Way,” Fink told The Mirror. “They’ve been out and they’ve been looking. It’s a matter of finding that right piece of property.” Merlone Geier Partners has owned the store’s current site since 2011, said Jim Alexander, the firm’s vice
Police arrest sex offender for grooming boys on Facebook Mirror staff reports
A registered sex offender in Federal Way is accused of flirting with local teenage boys on Facebook. Leland Alexander James, 19, faces two counts of communication with a minor for immoral purposes. He is being held on $100,000 bail and will be arraigned March 7. James was brought to the attention of Federal Way police by the mother of a 13-year-old boy. According to charging papers, the

Neither the Big Lots spokeswoman nor the store manager could provide details on the number of employees at the Federal Way location. Big Lots is a Fortune 500 company known for selling overstock and closeout merchandise as well as furniture. According to the corporate website, there are roughly 1,415 stores nationwide with an annual per-store sales average of $3.5 million. The company claimed 37,400 employees in January 2012, which would mean an average of 26 employees per store. Patrick Doherty, director of eco-
nomic development for Federal Way, provided the following statement to The Mirror regarding Big Lots: As for Big Lots’ search for a new location, our website offers an updated commercial building/site locator that any party can access and search for available locations on a customized basis – in addition to the efforts that presumably their commercial real estate broker or agent is conducting on their behalf. City staff can make themselves available on a moment’s notice to assist their effort to find a new home in Federal Way, recognizing that the commercial real estate brokers/agents will likely have more ready access to the commercial real estate marketplace than we may have.

PACC proposal: What are they smoking? Reading the Feb. 22 Mirror about the performing arts and conference center (PACC) got me thinking. This was in the planning since we became a city, which we voted in November 1989, and became official in February 1990. And if I remember correctly, the economy was doing fine at that time. Now the economy is in the tank and getting lower every day.
Matthew Jarvis
Are you happy with our transportation system? Many businesses aren’t and believe it may be costing us jobs. Are you willing to raise your taxes to improve the system? Transportation, along with K-12 and higher education, rank as the most important financial and political issues confronting our state and South King County. Last week, State Rep. Judy Clibborn (D-Mercer Island) introduced a farreaching and expensive transportation bill. The bill would raise $9.8 billion over the next decade. There is a smorgasbord of fees and taxes included, along with a 10-cent gas tax that would come into play to spread the fiscal challenge around among taxpayers. The 10-year time frame will also ease in the burden. The plan introduced by Clibborn is one of many that has been discussed over the past year, and places the issue front and center for debate. As chair of the House Transportation committee, Clibborn is one of the most powerful people in Olympia. By bringing the package out now, she forces the debate before all the political chips get used up by the coming debate on education. There is little likelihood that two-thirds of both houses would vote to increase taxes, but there may be enough support to send the issue to the voters, although that is not a sure thing. Most of the current transportation funding goes to pay off bonds on projects already built or in progress, so there isn’t any funding for maintenance and new projects. As expected, Republican legislators are skeptical about the bill, but they are also in a bind because much of the support is actually coming from their constituents — business. Many of the most important businesses in
our state belong to the Washington Roundtable, which has been pushing a transportation package for several months. When Boeing, Microsoft and others start talking, legislators start listening. And if Clibborn can push the bill through the House, it will put pressure on the Republican leadership in the Senate. Remember the issue of whether Senate Democrats would take the Republicans’ offer to chair some of the committees in the Republican-controlled Senate? It was a difficult choice for 30th District Sen. Tracey Eide (D-Federal Way), who did agree to co-chair the Senate transportation committee with Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima). This is one of the reasons that Eide disagreed with her party leadership and took the offer. While some of the projects are in Spokane, Vancouver and other parts of the state, some of the key improvements are right here and would benefit this region — projects including I-5, State Route 167 and State Route 509, to name just a few. These enhancements would help the ports in Seattle and Tacoma who work with local businesses to move products and provide local jobs. And most of the cities and Chambers of Commerce in South King County include transportation needs in their legislative agendas. Almost everyone from both political parties agrees with the need, but many Republicans don’t want their fingerprints on anything that looks like a tax increase, even if it’s only to send the issue to the voters. But if they do, will you vote for it? Big needs equals big politics. Bob Roegner

Are you willing to raise taxes? INSIDE POLITICS
EDITORIAL
On Feb. 11, I joined dozens of interested citizens in attending a special meeting of the Federal Way City Council to discuss building a performing arts and conference center (PACC) on the old Toys R Us site. As I watched slides with beautiful renditions of possible PACC designs, I found myself thinking that maybe, just maybe, a PACC might be the very thing that could revitalize Federal Way’s downtown. I was pleasantly surprised to see the exceptional team of designers, architects and builders the city assembled - a team who is willing to personally guarantee against cost overruns. Such a guarantee could have saved the city millions on the Community Center and SCORE jail. My excitement faded, however, when I saw that the city has not yet figured out how to pay for construction, nor is there a viable operating plan. Furthermore, the city gave no indication on how this project will stimulate downtown redevelopment, nor could they explain how it fits into a comprehensive economic development plan. While a PACC has great potential, it could easily become yet another white elephant for our city. Let’s start with the money. Using the city’s own middle of the road numbers (which are optimistic), citizens of Federal Way will need to pay some $20 million to build a PACC. In rough numbers, this is equal to $700 per Federal Way household. If financed solely with property taxes, it would cost the average homeowner $60 annually for 20 years. This is about equal to what the average household is currently paying annually to keep the Community Center open and is only one-third the annual cost of the recently approved high school levy. One can only hope that the city will be unable to sneak this into the budget and will instead be required to put this up for a public vote. Construction costs aside, as Mayor Skip Priest has often said, getting it built is the easy part. Once built, who will pay to keep the doors open? The city and her consultants project that the PACC will require an annual taxpayer subsidy of approximately $200,000. Given the difficultly of accurately projecting operating costs, I did my own analysis of the numbers. In my professional opinion, the PACC losses/ taxpayer subsidy in the first five years will be at least double what the city has projected. So whose numbers should we trust? I’m willing to bet any PACC supporter, city employee or elected official $10,000 that my numbers are more realistic than the city’s. If anyone’s interested in taking this bet, give me a call and we can work out details. Regardless of whose number you believe, before proceeding, PACC supporters need to find a way to pay for construction costs, projected losses, and any cost overruns. [ more JARVIS page 5 ]

● L E T T E r S - Y o u r opinion C o u nts :
To submit an item or photo for publication: email editor@federalwaymirror.com. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length. But oh, we need a PACC. People are losing, or have lost their homes, jobs, and the ability to provide for their children. Now we have a group that just has to have a PACC. Also mentioned was McIntyre Hall in Mount Vernon and the Edmonds arts center. There was nothing about what
shows were showing closer to home. Just a vague mention about not being able to get on the schedule. At the Feb. 11 City Council meeting, there was a flier showing what was on the agenda at the Edmonds arts center but from nowhere else. A signature structure in downtown? Identifying attraction for
residents and tourists? They just made (marijuana) legal. Methinks somebody has been hitting it too hard. Like I said at the council meeting, if it is built at that location the city will be the laughing stock from Blaine to Vancouver. We don’t need a PACC. Not at this time. I for one do not want my property taxes raised to support something this frivolous.

And 30 percent of suicides are by LGBTQ youth, according to GLSEN. Bullying today includes relational aggression, as well as “traditional” physical aggression. Relational aggression is defined by the Ophelia Project as “harming others through purposeful manipulation and damage of their peer relationships,” including things like spreading lies, ignoring someone or purposefully leaving them out. When either type of aggression escalates, the target may consider harming himself or herself in order to stop the situation and pain. That’s why having a welcoming advisor, a GSA and organizations like GLSEN can literally save lives. Another organization providing support for LGBTQ youth in South King County is POW!, which stands for Proud, Out and Wonderful. The mission of this group is to “provide a safe space for LGBTQ and allied youth ages 13-21 to build community and promote social justice through empowerment, leadership and advocacy in South King County.” POW! is directed and facilitated by professionals in the mental health field who identify with the LGBTQ and allied community. They provide support groups, service projects, and social gatherings. Dr. Maya Angelou said, “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us - in the dreariest and most dreaded moments - can see a possibility of hope.” Go be a rainbow, people.
Sex in the Suburbs
Recently, I had the honor and privilege to attend a GLSEN Summit. GLSEN stands for Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Our state’s GLSEN chapter holds a summit each year, which provides an opportunity for Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) clubs from middle and high schools to gather and learn together. They provide a track for educators and other professionals to receive continuing education. Federal Way High School’s GSA presented two workshops on writing poetry, featuring students performing original and powerful poetry slam pieces. In addition, they hosted an open poetry slam event at the end of the workshop, during which students from different schools attended the event and showcased their original pieces, written at the workshop. Federal Way High School GSA advisor Alex Winninghoff creates an environment where all students are welcome, and she uses her skills as an English teacher to challenge students to tell their stories, “making every word count.” The results are poignant, raw, riveting and real. The students craft deep and invigorating expressions of their pain, exclusion and hope. As a result, they bond with one another, and find strength to deal with it all. Support from adults is crucial for youth who live on the fringes of what is common. Nine out of ten LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning) students experience harassment at school. Sixty percent of LGBTQ youth feel unsafe because of their sexual orientation.
lion from the roads budget. If you ignore the funding issues, and the lost tax revenues, and the lack of a comprehensive plan, building a PACC may be one of the best things to happen to Federal Way. As such, I thank the PACC supporters for their diligent efforts to make Federal Way a better place. In my next column, I’ll present my plan to pay for a PACC as part of a comprehensive plan. Until then, I
welcome your thoughts on this topic. Please remember that over the past 10 years, my family has supported almost every arts group in Federal Way, collectively to the tune of many thousands of dollars. In other words, I am not “anti-arts.” I just don’t want to see another white elephant that further erodes safety and infrastructure in Federal Way.

Why is Washington state not requiring a social security number to get a driver’s license?
Senate bill 5012 is sitting in the Transportation Committee in Olympia which could cut down on fraudulent licenses, but the co-chairs refuse to even bring the bill up for a hearing.
Come see the winners announced for the Best Of 2013 Date: Time:
Wed., March 13, 2013 Booths Open 5–7 p.m. Winners Announced 7–8 p.m.
Door Prizes • Free Food • Public Welcome
Federal Way Community Center
876 S. 333rd St., Federal Way
Please help pass this bill by calling your Governor Jay Inslee at 360-902-4111, and the co-chairs of the Transportation Committee Senator Tracey Eide at 360-786-7658 and Senator Curtis King at 360-786-7626. Tell them you support the bill and you want a hearing. Tell your friends to call! Thanks for your help! Senate Bill 5012 – Summary – “Requires persons obtaining or renewing their state-issued driver’s licenses or related identification to show proof of their United States citizenship or their lawful presence within the United States. Requires the department of licensing to: (1) Maintain records of the applicant’s status as a citizen or noncitizen; (2) Make the records available to the Secretary of State and state and local criminal justice agencies; and (3) Verify the status of an applicant through the systematic alien verification for entitlements program or through verification with the social security administration.” A Washington State driver’s license is used as proof of identity to obtain education benefits, DSHS benefits, government housing, medical and dental care (SEAMAR). Benefits to non-citizens are estimated to be $2.7 billion a year in Washington State alone! Please call Governor Jay Inslee at 360-902-4111 and Senator Tracey Eide at 360-786-7658 and Senator Curtis King at 360-7867626! Tell them you support this bill and you want a hearing!

Praying in front of Planned Parenthood I’m one of them - one of the 40 Days For Life volunteers, standing on the sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood business in Federal Way. We are praying for the helpless. The defenseless. Unborn babies. And, we pray for their mothers and fathers, too.
www.federalwaymirror.com We pray for guidance for those who are scared, worried, or feel they are in crisis. We also say prayers for the doctors, and the Planned Parenthood workers, and our community. Yes, we can love them all. We can help both baby and mother. Our vigil is part of the statewide, nationwide and worldwide 40 Days For Life campaign to raise awareness about the over 55 million babies whose lives have been taken in the United States alone, in the last 40 years. See www.
numberofabortions.com. We are called to stand for life. The problem is enormous. It is taking its toll all across our country, and right next door with our neighbors. The solution is not to end the baby, it is to end the crisis. The answer is knowledge, local resources and prayer. Many in our community are not aware of what is taking place right in their city of Federal Way. Our focus is to join together in loving unity and
bring hope and free help, to women. We peacefully pray, and try to keep from crying, though the loss of life can be overwhelming. Each time we are on the sidewalk, a woman has come to us and shared a story with words like these: “Thank you for taking the time to do this! Years ago, I was single and pregnant. Everyone was telling me to have an abortion. It was really a hard time for me. But I had my baby and am so glad I made that choice.” So we gather in love,
prayer and song to reach out to mothers and fathers because the joy of life is awesome, and the help available here in Federal Way is real. Their decision will be with them for the rest of their lives.

Patrick Doherty, economic development director for Federal Way, said city officials were unaware of Baden’s departure until a real estate broker inquired about the company’s empty building. “We were never informed by Baden Sports that they were considering leaving before they did leave,” Doherty told The Mirror, noting that the city would have explored options to keep Baden in Federal Way. “We don’t have as much industrial land and building supply as some of the other valley cities, but we certainly would have tried.” Further inquiries about company details were directed to Baden CEO Michael Schindler, who is on vacation this week and unavailable for comment.

King County Executive Dow Constantine, acting upon the recommendations of a citizens panel, sent a proposal earlier this week to the King County Council for a six-year, $360 million parks levy that would go before voters in this year’s August primary. According to the county, the levy would mean the 39 King County cities would see approximately $4.2 million a year to take care of parks and trail systems at the local level. The new levy would replace two expiring levies, and, according to Constantine, ensure the health and public’s access to county parks for years to come. According to the county, the proposed levy would mean homeowners of a home valued at $340,000 would pay $64 a year for the six-year life of the levy. If approved by the voters, the measure would fund “maintenance and operation of King County’s 200 parks, 175 miles of regional trails, and 26,000 acres of open space.” The levy would acquire or protect about 450 acres of critical open space per year, approximately 2,700 acres over the six years, for continued protection of local habitats. The levy would also fund planning and design work for two trail systems in East and South King County, which would
ultimately add 20 new miles of trail to the overall system. The levy would help repair or replace 14 bridges/ trestles on existing trail systems; complete missing links in the trail system; solidify connections to transit and civic hubs; and develop trailheads and parking lots to improve public access to up to 8,400 acres of existing parks and 140 miles of trails. The King County Council will decide whether to place the replacement measure on the ballot.
Ymer had learned the Heimlich maneuver years before in middle school. The process came flooding back to his mind, and he immediately knew what to do. After Ymer performed the technique for roughly a minute, a potato shot out of the 70-year-old man’s mouth, and all was well again. Ymer, 18, was in Federal Way that day on a tree removal job. The Mirror and South King Fire were unable to contact the man whose life was saved. On July 30, Jo Ann and Dan deLeon were working in their yard when he collapsed and went uncon-
Work progresses on damaged I-5 sound wall

Mirror staff reports
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reports that “some progress” is being made to the damaged sound wall along I-5 that was caught up in a tanker truck explosion that killed a Sumner man Nov. 4. According to WSDOT, “a cleanup crew has been busy excavating hundreds of cubic yards of soil contaminated by spilled aviation fuel.” Agency personnel are designing the replacement panels for the sound wall, and the agency is working with the tanker company’s insurance to help cover the costs of the cleanup and repair. The rebuild contract for the project is expected to be sent out in the future, although WSDOT was unable to indicate a specific timeframe.

After medics arrived, however, Dan deLeon was comatose for four days. Doctors told his wife he might end up brain dead. An experimental “freezing” treatment for cardiac arrest patients ultimately saved his life, said the 61-year-old resident of unincorporated King County. Seven months later, Dan deLeon jokes that his wife beat him up. He remembers nothing from the incident. In fact, after the heart attack, he somehow forgot that he smoked cigarettes. Before his heart attack, he was a daily smoker. Since then, he hasn’t craved tobacco at all, and his recovery continues. “I’m just lucky to be alive,” he said.

The effort to keep her husband alive was exhausting. “I just felt all alone,” she said. “Everything happened so fast.” King County Sheriff Deputy David Lyon arrived on the scene and used an automated external defibrillator (AED) on Dan deLeon. The combination of CPR and the AED were enough to save his life.

into police custody and has been expelled. The student’s name and the type of weapon have not been disclosed. “The situation was resolved with little to no impact on the school day for the rest of the students,” Griebel wrote. Griebel urged parents to watch for signs of alcohol abuse in their children. The school’s security has noticed a trend since the passage of a state law that allowed grocery stores to sell alcohol, she wrote. “There seems to be far more alcohol in young people’s possession than ever before,” Griebel wrote. “We can’t speculate the precise reason, but urge parents to be alert to signs of possible alcohol use by your children.”

A student at Federal Way High School was expelled after an unloaded gun was discovered in his backpack. In a letter to parents on Tuesday, Principal Lisa Griebel said the weapon was discovered at the end of the school day Feb. 22 during a search of some students’ lockers. The search initially began as an investigation into a potential violation of the school district’s alcohol policy. No ammunition was found in the gun, in the backpack, or in the student’s locker,

For example, the ten-cent gas tax that has been proposed to potentially fund K-12 transportation would require a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate in order to pass, McLean noted. “We all remember how hard it is to get a 60 percent supermajority for certain

legislative actions. Getting a 66 and two-thirds vote is even more challenging,” she added. It appears that this point may be a moot issue, with the State Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision on Feb. 28 that struck down the two-thirds provision. Another factor in this year’s round of budget planning is the fact the Legislature is on a “long” or 105-day session. Whether this will mean an emergency session is needed, as has been the case in recent years, is unknown at this time, she said. Along with that, the in-house politics of the State Senate, in which two members of the Democratic party, Rodney Tom and Tim Sheldon, have sided with Republicans, has also added another layer of uncertainty to the whole process, she noted. While the outlook is still murky, McLean did venture some predictions about the state budget. “When I think about
what I would expect to see on April 28, or potentially before,” she said, referencing the last day of the current legislative session, “is I would expect out of those 180 educational bills, approximately 20 percent or so will pass. That’s pretty standard, and that some of those will require new activities on the school district, or a change in our current activities, and probably most of those will come with insufficient or no funding to implement.” McLean said she expects the restoration of salary allocation reductions, which would be a positive in this case, because it would take furlough days off the table for the district when it comes to trimming the budget. Along with that, she said any other new funding would essentially be programmatic, meaning that it would be increased funding for specific programs. “In the meantime, we’re still planning,” she said.

the successful passage of the school levy last fall. “We’re working on a camera plan. Thank you voters, again,” he said. The plan includes additional cameras where needed, replacing digital video recorders with network video recorders, making the entire system digital, and connecting the entire system to the city of Federal Way’s Safe City system. Davidson said the district will educate students and staff on being aware, and also on anti-bullying efforts and similar ideas, to stop any potential violence before it ever starts. “This is one of the most important things we do. We continually stress the vigilance of staff members, students, and the communities surrounding our schools. Because, frankly, being aware is probably the best thing you can do for yourself,” he said. “We have an emphasis on (prevention of) harassment, intimidation and bullying at all schools, helping all students understand…and talk about that.” Davidson said the district will continue to address the balance between safety and openness at schools. “Ten-foot fences around our schools with a single gate would, quite frankly, be safer,” he said. “I don’t believe any of us want to work, or send our children, to that kind of place. It doesn’t help the future of teaching people how to deal with these things and reducing violence.”
that prioritize needs and address the issues identified in the audits.” Board Vice President Angela Griffin asked Davidson if the results of the audits will be shared. “How are we being transparent with our parents and guardians and students, around the work we’re doing in each individual school?” she asked. “We will want to communicate very clearly. Now obviously we won’t want to communicate some of the weaknesses we find, because it can, unfortunately, give the bad guys information they can use,” Davidson replied. “I will be expecting that each principal addresses their school community with what’s happening, what we’re able to do, even what we’re not able to do, because some of those things can have tremendous costs, and we have to prioritize and determine what makes the most sense to be the safest.”
Cameras and anti-bully efforts
Davidson noted that Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson and officers met with FWPS officials, and various school and staff administrators recently, to talk about how things should proceed in case of an emergency or violent event like Sandy Hook. The deputy superintendent touched on the new security camera system the district was able to get after

Basketball: Beamer, TJ boys lose, as do Titan girls

There were no free trips to the Tacoma Dome for the Todd Beamer or Thomas Jefferson boys or the Beamer girls. The three basketball teams lost last weekend at the 16-team Class 4A Regional Tournament. The Titan boys lost a heart-breaker to Spokane’s Central Valley in overtime at Rogers High School, 61-55, and the Raiders, who were making the program’s first appearance in the final 16 since 1974, were beaten up by the Curtis Vikings, 61-48, across town at Puyallup High on Saturday. The Beamer girls were beaten by Arlington Friday night, 50-42, also at Puyallup. On the boys’ side, fourth-ranked Central Valley (22-2) overcame a pesky effort from Beamer. The Titans (18-8) even had a chance to win the game at [ more regionalS, page 15 ]

It’s been a long time coming for the Federal Way-based Christian Faith Eagles boys basketball program. For the first time in 19 years, the Eagles are playing at the 1B State Basketball Tournament, which will run through Saturday at the Spokane Memorial Arena. Christian Faith qualified for the tournament last weekend with a win over Cedar Park Christian. During the

Pac-12 Swimming and Diving championships start six-day run Federal Way’s KC Aquatic Center will host men’s and women’s events through Wednesday By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center is a very busy place. Over the next six days, the Federal Way pool will host the best swimmers and divers from around the Pac-12 Conference.
The Aquatic Center is currently playing host to the 2013 Pac-12 Conference Women’s Swimming and Men’s and Women’s Diving Championships, which started Wednesday. The competition will run through Saturday in Federal Way and will be immediately followed by the Men’s Swimming Championships, which run March 3-6. The Pac-12 Conference announced earlier this month that Federal Way would host the Men’s Swimming Championships. The massive meet was originally scheduled to take place at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool in Long Beach, Calif., but was
moved to Federal Way due to an emergency closure of the facility. Typically, the men’s conference meet takes place the weekend after the women’s meet to better mesh with the NCAA championship calendar, but the Pac-12 commissioners thought it was the easiest transition to hold the events concurrently in Federal Way. The Belmont Pool is currently closed due to a draft structural analysis that concludes the facility is seismically unsafe in the event of a moderate earthquake. The seismic issue recently came to light as a result [ more pac-12, page 16 ]

Talia Walton — The Federal Way grad is currently playing her redshirt freshman season at the University of Washington and having a huge year. Last year, as a true freshman, Walton played in one game before deciding to redshirt after injuring her knee. The 6-foot-2 forward has started all 25 games this season for the Huskies and is second on the team, averaging 13.9 points and 7.1 rebounds a game. Washington is 19-8 on the season. Walton had knee surgery a month before the season started. Walton was also named the Pac-12 Talia Walton Freshman of the Week earlier this month. Walton averaged 15.5 points and seven rebounds in Washington’s weekend split with UCLA and USC on Feb. 7 and 9. It was the third Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honor for Walton, all coming during conference play. She also won the award after sweeping the Arizona and Oregon schools at home. This award is for the week of March 4-10. While at Federal Way, Walton was named the Associated Press Class 4A Washington Prep Girls Basketball Player of the Year after leading the Eagles to the state title game. Walton averaged 17 points and close to 13 rebounds per game.

The rebounding total ranks first in the West Coast Conference and his scoring average is ninth in the league. San Francisco is 13-15 on the year and 6-9 in the West Coast Conference.

the end of regulation, but a 3-point attempt from center Bogdon Bliznyuk rimmed off at the buzzer with the game tied at 53-53. Beamer tallied the first bucket during the fourminute OT session, but it was followed by a 7-0 run by the Bears to finalize the score. Trey Burch-Manning paced Beamer with 19 points, while Juwan Flowers added 14. Central Valley looked like they were going to run away and hide early on. The Bears led 25-10 with 4:25 left in the first half before the Titans cut the lead to seven, 30-23, at the half. Central Valley held on to the seven-point edge after three, 45-38. The fourth quarter was all Beamer. The Titans’ pressure defense led to numerous turnovers and a 3-pointer by Flowers with 1:35 left in the fourth quarter gave Beamer its first lead of the game, 53-51. Adam Chamberlain, who scored 13 points for the Bears, tied it at 53 with a pair of free throws with just over a minute remaining. Both teams missed attempts during the last minute of regulation, leading to the four-minute OT session. Austin Rehkow scored 19 points and hauled down 13 rebounds and Beau Byus added 16 points to lead Central Valley, last year’s 4A state runner-up.

Jefferson senior point guard Danny Park dribbles against a Curtis defender during the Raiders’ loss Saturday. casey olson, The Mirror bolted out to a 26-5 lead before the Raiders closed the half on a 12-3 run to tighten the score to 28-17. Jefferson (14-12) got within eight points on four occasions in the second half, but the Vikings were always able to answer. It will be fifth time Curtis has played at the Tacoma Dome in the last eight seasons. Senior Daryon James, a first-team All-SPSL North selection, led all scorers with 22 points. Deonte Anderson was the only other TJ player in double digits with 10 points. Andre Lewis scored 18 points for the sixth-ranked Vikings (24-2). The future is bright for the Todd Beamer Titans girls basketball program. But the future will have to wait until next season. The Arlington Eagles ended the Titans’ dream season Friday. The Regional Tournament included the final 16 teams in Class 4A. It was the furthest any
Beamer team has advanced in the history of the school. Beamer (20-6) just couldn’t muster enough offense to take out Arlington, the second seed from the Northwest District. The sixth-ranked Eagles (20-4) jumped out to a quick 13-9 lead after the first quarter and led 24-15 at halftime. Arlington extended the lead to 11 points after three quarters. Junior Megan Huff and freshman Nia Alexander both finished with 15 points each for Beamer. Jayla Ross and Winter Brown were the only Eagle players in double figures. Ross had 15 points and Brown finished with 10. Arlington advances to the Class 4A Hardwood Classic at the Tacoma Dome as one of the final eight teams still playing. The Titans will essentially return their whole team next season. Beamer, which won the South Puget Sound League South Division title, starts three freshmen.

of the analysis currently under way related to the revitalization plan for the entire pool complex, which opened in August 1968. There is an amazing amount of talent inside the King County Aquatic Center. Eight 2012 Olympians, including four medalists from the London Games, are slated to compete at the 2013 Pac-12 Women’s Swimming and Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. The Pac-12 had six teams ranked in the latest national poll, including four of the top six. The league features a number of Olympians and NCAA standouts. The University of Southern California is the nation’s top-ranked team and is poised to bring home the program’s first Pac-12 women’s swimming title. The Trojans are led by senior distance freestyler Haley Anderson, a 2012 NCAA Champion and Olympic silver medalist.

Forbes is also now just two games away from the school record of 119 career games played. Forbes has started 21 games this season and is averaging 6.3 points. Eastern is 9-18 on the season.

conference titles, dealt USC its only loss and notched convincing victories over previously unbeaten UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State. Senior and eight-time All-American Andi Murez leads a talented group that features four swimmers who posted top-15 finishes at the 2012 NCAA Championships. Two-time defending national champion California is led by reigning Pac-12 Swimmer of the Year and Honda Sports Award winner Caitlin Leverenz. The senior took home a pair of NCAA titles and swam on the Bears’ national champion 200- and 400-medley relay teams last year. On the diving boards, Arizona junior Samantha Pickens and UCLA sophomore Emma Ivory-Ganja lead a strong women’s field. On the men’s side, Arizona State senior Harrison Jones has won both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard events in every meet this season. Stanford sophomore Kristian Ipsen is the defending 3-meter champion and a bronze medalist at the 2012 Olympics. The King County Aquatic Center is no stranger to conducting national and international events. It was
constructed to house the swimming and diving portions of the 1990 Goodwill Games and has since been the home to more than 50 competitions annually. The Aquatic Center hosted the NCAA Men’s National Swimming and Diving Championships in 2008 and again last year to rave reviews. The pool was also home to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials — Diving in June. The trials qualified 11 men and women for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London and was broadcast to a national television audience. A recent economic study conducted for King County measured the financial impact of these events on the region in excess of $7.5 million annually. Both meets will be carried on tape delay on the Pac-12 Networks. For more information on the Pac-12 swimming and diving championships, visit Pac12.com. Tickets for the 2013 Pac-12 Conference Championships are $30 for an allsession pass for adults and $20 for students/children/ seniors. A one-day pass is $15 for adults and $10 for students/children/seniors.
