Group says dog park needs more attention By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
A hidden gem of Federal Way is French Lake Dog Park, one of the few off-leash dog parks in the region. Created by a push from the non-profit group Park Pals, the park allows man, and man’s best friend, a place to play and get outside in Federal Way. According to a number of Park Pals members, the burden of much of the work for the dog park has fallen to their group, with the city taking a perceived backseat approach to the maintenance of what still is a city park. “This park is a vital part of our city and its people,” said Park Pals board member Ben Pittman to the Federal Way City Council during the council’s March 19 meeting. “This park needs to be a much bigger priority to this city because, as far as I can tell, this city doesn’t think our dog park matters.” Pittman said he believes the park could become a liability to the city — if the city doesn’t start taking a larger role in its maintenance. According to Pittman, the pond at the park has never been well kept, and has been a home to muck, insects and disease. “(The pond) could be a great thing for this park, but instead it’s simply a breeding ground for very [ more PARK, page 13 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

City wrestles with higher jail costs By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way’s financial commitment to the SCORE jail facility is running far over projected cost estimates for the past few years. However, the jail is still on the minds of city officials. Located in Des Moines, the jail is shared by a consortium of cities in the region,
but Federal Way pays nearly 25 percent of the total load. As Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest has alluded to in recent months, those cities tied into SCORE as “member” cities have been exploring options to market the jail to other agencies and entities throughout the region. As the agreement between cit-
ies sits now, those who send the most prisoners to SCORE end up shouldering a higher cost than those who don’t, and Federal NEWS Way had been sending a fair amount, resulting in the unanticipated costs. City finance director Tho Kraus gave a brief update on SCORE and what measures are being taken to alleviate the costs to

the city. In 2012, jail revenues were roughly $607,000, which has been adjusted downward a bit to $602,000, Kraus said during the March 26 Finance/Economic Development/Regional Affairs (FEDRAC) committee meeting. “For the first two months (of 2013), we’re up at $217,000,” she [ more JAIL, page 13 ]

Delaney Brown, a junior at Federal Way High School, got inside access to some of the celebrities and guests at We Day.
Nearly 1,250 students from Federal Way schools attended the U.S. debut of the star-studded We Day, held March 27 at Key Arena in Seattle. We Day is a youth-empowerment program that has been packing stadiums across Canada for years. More than 15,000 students gained admission to Wednesday’s event by performing a local and global act of charity. Federal Way was wellrepresented. The Decatur High School Jazz Choir sang “Will You Be There” with Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer Jennifer Hudson. In addition, Federal Way High School student Caleb Dawson shared his school’s success in embracing the We Day mantra through recordsetting Halloween food drives. Last October, the We Scare Hunger effort organized in Federal Way netted 12,562 pounds of food with help from 350 students. “That is the power of We Day,” Dawson told the crowd, which gave a standing ovation. As a surprise, the final act was Seattle-based rap duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, who whipped the crowd into a frenzy with the chart-topping single “Thrift Shop.” [ more WE DAY, page 12 ]

PACC represents a path forward for Federal Way The Federal Way City Council is to be applauded for taking a courageous step and voting to proceed with the design phase for the performing arts and conference center (PACC). A vote to design is not a vote to build, so as our representatives, they are being slow and deliberate
The election season is heating up everywhere but here. In Seattle, several candidates will try to unseat Mayor Mike McGinn — although the biggest name and likely front-runner, former King County Executive Ron Sims, has decided not to run. Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke will be challenged by former councilman Tim Clarke. In Auburn, there are four candidates running to succeed Mayor Pete Lewis, who is not running again. Two of those candidates are members of the city council. In Federal Way, Mark Koppang is only a formal announcement away from running against council appointee Kelly Maloney. But after 20 local residents applied for appointment to the council in January, it has been surprisingly quiet. Koppang ran for Federal Way City Council in 2011, and though he lost in the primary, he ran a good race for a first-time candidate. His candidacy was expected. Maloney and Diana Noble-Gulliford joined the council as appointees when Linda Kochmar and Roger Freeman were elected to the state Legislature. Jeanne Burbidge is also up this year. As a longtime incumbent and seasoned campaigner, Burbidge will be hard to beat. NobleGulliford has been active in many community groups and ran for the council previously, so she has campaign experience. Since Maloney is the least well known of the three incumbents, and hasn’t run for office before, it was expected that she might get a serious challenge. But after her appointment, she also said she wasn’t sure if she would actually run for the position. The lack of certainty may have provided encouragement to other candidates including Koppang. Maloney told The
Mirror she plans to run for re-election, but has made no formal announcement. Noble-Gulliford and Burbidge have not announced their intentions, but are expected to run. The biggest silence in Federal Way has been the mayor’s race. Everyone in town expects Mayor Skip Priest to run again, but so far, no announcement. As the incumbent, he can afford to wait a little while. Most have expected a rematch with Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell. Ferrell has positioned himself to retain his options. He switched parties from Republican to Democrat, and last fall, he convinced the council to add police officers even though Priest’s budget didn’t include them. Ferrell was also the only council member to vote against approving the design phase for the performing arts and conference center (PACC) recommended by Priest. Ferrell is concerned about the financing for construction and operations and the long-term fiscal impact on residents. Since his election as mayor, Priest has been very cautious about being out front on issues, and some City Hall watchers were surprised when he embraced the leadership of the PACC. A few thought it might actually be a signal Priest felt he might run unopposed. Will Ferrell run? Will Noble-Gulliford and Burbidge have competition? For incumbents with name familiarity and campaign experience, they can afford to wait. But if you are a first-time candidate and you want to run for mayor or the city council, you need to be making decisions now. Time is starting to run out. Bob Roegner

EDITORIAL
April is Sexual Assault Prevention Month, but since sexual assault waits for no month, let’s chat about consent now — and then you go chat with every young person you know about consent so we don’t have a replay of Steubenville, Ohio, right here in Federal Way. Consent is not just a lack of “no.” Consent is a real, clear, enthusiastic “yes!” You cannot truly mutually consent this way when you are drunk, or impaired by drugs, or thinking about having sex with your boss or your teacher or someone who has developmental delays. In Washington state, you cannot legally consent to sex if you are under the age of 16, and even then, there are a whole lot of caveats. “The biggest thing that young people told us in focus groups and individual meetings is that they see a lack of knowledge about sex as one of the main root causes of sexual assault,” according to 100conversations.org, a website put together by the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. The site encourages parents to have 100 conversations with their children, not just “the talk.” You can find conversation guides on the site for topics from friends to relationships to consent to bullying to media and technology. You can also download a “Consent Power” card with lots of useful information on it that can be carried in a wallet. Now, I’m a huge proponent of arming youth with knowledge about sexuality and pregnancy and disease prevention. But it simply isn’t enough. If we want things to get better for youth from Federal Way to Steubenville and beyond, we need to be having oodles of conversations with them — about sexuality in relation to relationships, consent, values, friendships, technology and more. Too many youth really think it’s OK to hurt one another with words and behavior, and even with sexual contact. It’s all of our jobs to talk to our children and other youth we know about stepping in if this happens. “All you have to do is say something like, ‘Dude, that’s not cool’ or something that lets the person saying something nasty know that it’s not OK,” said Magda Pecsenye, who writes about being a parent at AskMoxie.org. Bullying is tricky, and it’s not always safe for a bystander to say something. In this case, Pecsenye and I agree that you need to tell your kids to leave the room quietly and call you. We don’t care if you’re somewhere you’re not supposed to be, or not where you told us you’d be, or someplace that could get you in a lot of trouble. “You get immunity if you’re calling for help,” said Pecsenye. Sadly, it’s not just youth who are crying out for education and an understanding of true consent. Last year, a Federal Way nurse who sexually

They recognize there are a lot of fiscal hurdles that need to be understood and met before we as a city can proceed. For those who believe Federal Way’s best days are in its future, the PACC is a smart decision and will become a valued community asset. The PACC represents a path
forward. For many in Federal Way who love this town the way it was 20 years ago, or are just worried about their property taxes, please know that maintaining status quo costs money and represents a path down, not up. Also please note, if we do not build the PACC, our taxes go up to pay back the state.
So it really is in the best interest of all of us to get behind our mayor and the decision our council members made and work with them for the success of this project. If we work together and get the PACC fully funded, our tax exposure is greatly reduced, and Federal Way has a community resource that will serve as a catalyst for change and a better future.

Thank you for the local pro-life vigil I would like to publicly thank all the 40 Days for Life Prayer Volunteers who gathered from Feb. 13 through March 24 in front of Planned Parenthood on 348th Street in Federal Way. These individuals came together with a quiet message — peaceful prayers of life and hope, for families and the unborn. They volunteered to stand for life, not to judge, but to support options that raise awareness, prevent regret and promote local resources for mothers and babies. Can we love both the babies and the mothers? We stood up to say “Yes.” We have represented the International 40 Days for Life Campaign, joining 300 pro-life vigils all across America and the world. We believe that from conception, each child is endowed with the spark of life and the divine opportunity to grow, thrive and make their mark upon this world. We believe that allowing a child to grow and to protect his or her right to live is the right thing for our community. Not a day went by without

The Czar’s 5-step funding plan for PACC The Federal Way City Council voted 6-1 to spend another $1 million toward a performing arts and conference center (PACC). This puts their total investment of taxpayer funds at approximately $7 million. While reasonable people can debate the merits of a PACC, the council has yet to outline a plan to pay for the $32 million construction cost, or the projected annual loss of $200,000 (I’m still betting $10,000 that says annual losses will be dramatically higher). The city has basically three options for funding the PACC: raise taxes, cut services, and/or get someone else to pay for it. Let’s start with getting someone else to pay for it. The city projects it will receive $7.5 million from various government agencies outside of Federal Way (e.g. state and county). While these are still tax dollars, spending these funds will not directly affect Federal Way residents. The city also projects it will receive somewhere between $7 million and $13.5 million from a variety of other sources including naming rights, private donations and selling a portion of the Toys R’ Us lot to a hotel. To me, these numbers seem wildly optimistic, so we will use the city’s lowest number of $7 million. This leaves the city short $17.5 million. Financed over 10 years, this $17.5 million will cost the city approximately $2.3 million annually. Because the city already claims to be running on a “no frills” budget, I’m going to assume that there remain no services that can be safely cut. After all, since 2010, the council has already cut 20 positions from the police department

and some $1.5 million from the road maintenance budget. This leaves us with tax increases. If the $17.5 million were financed entirely with property taxes, a $250,000 home would see their taxes increase by $80 annually. This is about onethird of the $228 annually voters recently approved for the new Federal Way High School. While one could make an argument against further raising taxes, even with this increase, our property tax rate would remain below that of our neighboring cities. Unfortunately, we have yet to see a financing proposal from an elected official or PACC supporter. The only indications we have are the comments from three council members stating that they are unwilling to raise taxes for the PACC. Without new tax revenues to pay for the PACC, the city will be forced to again make significant cuts to the police and infrastructure budgets. If I were Czar of Federal Way, here is how I would proceed with a PACC. First, I would ask every arts group in Federal Way to sign a 10-year contract to use the new facility. I would also push on every downtown property owner to commit to making simultaneous investments into their own properties. Second, talk is cheap, but money talks. I would call every PACC supporter and ask them to sign a pledge. Let’s start with the mayor and city council. I would also talk with local service groups to see how willing they are to raise funds for this project. If we can’t get $1 million of pledges, the deal would be dead. Third, I would commit to Matthew Jarvis
someone stopping to ask us about 40 Days For Life, and many shared personal stories — some of anguish and others of triumph. True life examples of the adage “Abortion stops a beating heart, and breaks many others.” People prayed with us, cried, and thanked us for being there. We are so grateful to live in a country where our right to stand up and speak is protected. It is an honor to stand with you, volunteers. We are grateful to our community for acknowledging us with so much awesome feedback. It has been a very successful campaign to promote a culture of life. Will you join us next time?

selling the Dumas Bay Centre/ Knutzen Family Theatre once the PACC was completed. In addition to generating somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 million of capital, it would also free up $110,000 annually in the city’s budget (the school district used a similar strategy to help pay for the new district office and bus garage). Fourth, I would follow Seattle’s example and create a tax specific to the downtown business/property owners who should benefit most from this project. Let’s say this raises another $2 million over 10 years. This leaves us with a shortfall of approximately $10 million. My final move would be to run a ballot measure for a $47 annual increase in property taxes. While such a move will be regarded by some as “political cowardice,” nearly everyone I talk to calls it democracy. Without all five of these funding sources, I would scratch the project, sell the property and give the money back to the state. Now that you’ve heard my funding plan, what’s yours?
Corrections In a previous article, I stated that prior to construction, the Federal Way Community Center had been projected to cover its own expenses. While no fewer than three city council members are on record stating that the center would be (or currently is) largely self-sustaining, city directors Cary Roe and Tho Kraus kindly explained to me that the city staff had accurately projected that the Community Center would require significant subsidies. My apologies for the error.

Reach Out Rollermania was held March 25 at Pattison’s West Skate Center in Federal Way. The annual charity event raised more than $5,000 for homeless shelters and services, according to Nancy Jaenicke, executive director for Reach Out Federal Way. “I thought it was really cool to see the high schools so engaged,” Jaenicke said about the fundraising effort. “These youth understand and support the homeless in the community.” Students from Decatur and Thomas Jefferson high schools shared the winning trophy as the top two high
school fundraising teams at Rollermania. The top fundraising team overall was the City Hall Rollers, comprised of city employees. The largest team was Team Lolo. Federal Way Mirror sales rep Cindy Ducich, who fell and broke her hip at last year’s event, received an official I Survived Reach
Out Rollermania T-shirt. For the second year in a row, Allen Schauffler of King 5 News served as the emcee. Reach Out Federal Way provides shelter, meals and support for dozens of South King County homeless men and women. Learn more at reachoutfederalway.org.

Grants fund new soccer field in Westway Mirror staff reports
Westway has a brandspanking new soccer field thanks to several grants benefiting the Federal Way neighborhood. The work on a previously-unused field behind the Westway Community Center came from Franciscan’s Youth Violence Prevention Initiative. The Franciscan Health System sought and received enough grant funding to turn the unused area into a soccer field. The field will host a grand opening celebration at 1 p.m. April 6 at the Westway Community Center and will include a free soccer clinic for neighborhood kids at 1:30 p.m. put on by the Federal Way Boys and Girls Club. The community center is located at 33400 21st Ave. SW in Federal Way. Franciscan is also partnering with the Boys and Girls Club to offer a free spring soccer league on

Several grants helped fund the construction of a brand new soccer field behind the Westway Community Center in Federal Way. A grand opening will take place at 1 p.m. April 6.

Grant funding for the field came from the Seattle Foundation, D.V. and Ida McEachern Charitable Trust, Catholic Health Initiatives and the Franciscan Foundation. The
Youth Violence Prevention Initiative is funded with a grant from Catholic Health Initiatives. Connecting youth to safe places to play and caring adults are two key components to helping youth be safe and successful, according to Franciscan.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ DOG PARK from page 1] nasty diseases, one of which my own dog contracted two years ago,” he noted. “There are many safety concerns that have never been addressed, and if we are not careful, this city will start having lawsuits filed against it for lack of care, maintenance and attention to this, our only dog park.” Park Pals President JoAnn Hugill reiterated some of Pittman’s points. Park Pals wants to keep the park in the best shape possible, but can only do so much as a small non-profit. “It’s a very pretty park. We want to keep it pretty. We had 22 volunteers two to three weeks ago helping clean it up, the branches from the wind storm, and pulling out the cattails from the pond,” she said. “We do need some more help. I know there are budget cuts everywhere. We’re on a budget too. We’re non-profit.” While not a direct member of Park Pals, Federal Way Petco general manager Michael Jankowski said that as an owner of three dogs, and with the rising popularity of the park, everyone should try and make sure the park is well maintained. “The park needs a lot of help,
it really does…There’s a lot of mud everywhere. Their (Park Pals’) hands are tied, frankly. Everything they want to do, from my understanding is, there’s red tape,” he said. “Even if they’re willing to pay for it, there’s red tape.” Jankowski made an appeal to the city to either have the Parks Department play a greater role in the maintenance of the park, or to free Park Pals of the perceived bureaucratic red tape. And even though the park has been around a couple of years, Jankowski said he’s noticing the community is realizing they have an off-leash dog park in their community. “Just recently I was there on a weekend, and it was backed up trying to get a parking spot. It was full. People were waiting for parking spots to get into that park,” he said. “It’s getting packed, and it’s not even summer time. They need your help, they really need your help. All the dog owners in Federal Way really need your help.” The city looks forward to further dialogue with Park Pals about priorities at French Lake dog park, said city spokesman Chris Carrel in an email. “Throughout the young history of this park, the Parks
[ JAIL from page 1]
Department has depended on and appreciated the work of volunteers, particularly Park Pals,” Carrel wrote. “Without the commitment and energy of volunteers, it would be financially challenging to operate the dog park. We look forward to continuing our partnership that has provided this benefit to the community.” According to a list provided by Carrel, the following improvements have been made: • Repaired and secured perimeter fence, and created 20-foot-wide planted buffer area along northern fence line. • Created separately fenced small dog area, and installed a fence around existing pond to restrict access when pond water quality is a concern. • Installed five pet stations for use by park patrons. • Resolved drainage issues. • Installed donated drinking fountain for park patrons and dogs (provided material and labor and paid Lakehaven Utility District water fees). • Installed park rule signs French Lake Park is located on 1st Avenue South between S. 320th St. and S. 312th St. For a list of maintenance projects as reported by the city, see this story at federalwaymirror.com.
said. “Our biggest contract is with the Washington State Department of Corrections, and they brought in a lot of people for the first two months.” Kraus reported that Federal Way has lowered its count of people it sends to the facility, but that Auburn has also done the same. Unfortunately for Federal Way, that means costs will continue to be an issue. According to statistics compiled by the city, in a year-todate comparison of average daily population (ADP), Federal Way has reduced its number from 99 in February 2012 to 76 this year. Auburn, on the other hand had an ADP of 123 in February 2012, compared to an ADP of 52 for February 2013. “With Auburn being down as low as they are…even though we’re reducing our population, we’re not necessarily going to be decreasing our own charges,” Kraus said. According to Kraus, one of the agencies the city and those involved in SCORE with have been talking to is the United States Marshal Service. “That contract is in progress,” Kraus noted. Kraus indicated the city has a new contract with the city of Fife, which should help the situation,

especially because Tacoma sends a lot of its jail inmates to Fife. Along with that, Kraus noted that Federal Way and a number of the other SCORE “member” cities are interested in having a financial consultant examine the facility’s financial model to see if it could be tweaked to reduce the cost burdens on all involved. Federal Way Police Department Chief Brian Wilson said SCORE is an excellent facility, and as those involved to continue to work on marketing it, things should get easier. “The services provided by SCORE are second to none,” he said, “and that is really the selling point to the agencies we’re talking to. The operational component of SCORE is very strong, and there are benefits to that, and we just need to market those services.”
Fast facts Opened in 2011, the SCORE jail serves Federal Way, Auburn, Renton, Tukwila, Seatac, Burien and host city Des Moines. In 2014, the facility will cost Federal Way about $3.75 million, with a one-time cost of $1.4 million associated with that year, according to the city. Federal Way is shouldering almost 25 percent of the total load for the facility, according to the city’s projections.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ LETTERS from page 5] approval, it’s the taxpayers’ responsibility to pay for any shortfall in construction costs and future maintenance and operating expenses. Currently, the operation of the community center has an annual shortfall in excess of $1,000,000. I have not heard what is being done to correct this situation. What is the maximum potential operating loss for the PACC? This project should be voted on by the Federal Way citizens, allowing ample time for community presentations and discussion before spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on schematic drawings. If the vote is favorable, step one should be an independent feasibility study to determine the viability of the project and whether it provide any momentum for developing a Federal Way city center. The development plan at this point appears to rely heavily on federal and state funding. Is this realistic? There should be more information provided on what level of performing arts we could expect to perform in this facility and what would be the range of admission prices. I am concerned that there is a level of optimism that “if we build it and they will come.” It takes more than optimism. It takes sound planning, a top-rated facility, hard work and dedicated supporters. Within a 30-minute drive of Federal
Way there are numerous facilities competing for the entertainment dollars.
Don Vandenheuvel, Federal Way
City responds to the letter above I’m writing to share a point of correction regarding the Federal Way Community Center’s financial operations, as described in Don Vandenheuvel’s recent letter to the editor. In 2012, the Federal Way Community Center’s operational subsidy was $425,000. The Community Center, like all parks, operates with support from other areas of the city’s budget, aside from direct facility revenues. The Community Center’s 2012 cost recovery is approximately 82 percent, which is well above the industry average, according to studies by LERN (Learning Resources Network, a leading recreation management and consulting firm ). The goal for the Community Center is to increase cost recovery to the highest level possible. The facility’s financial operations have been strengthened each year for the past several years as it has grown in popularity and membership. The facility recently surpassed 3,304 household memberships (representing 6,106 individual members, about 7 percent of the Federal Way population) and received more than 350,000 visits in 2012.

Decatur freshman pitcher Genevieve Summers throws a pitch during the Gators’ 15-0 loss to Enumclaw Monday afternoon. Decatur remains winless on the season. casey olson, The Mirror
Gators have won seven in a row, top-ranked Mountainview next; TJ softball still unbeaten By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The Decatur baseball team is officially rolling. After starting the season with two non-league losses, the Gators won their seventh game in a row Wednesday and sit atop the South Puget Sound League 3A Division. The Gators blew away the Enumclaw Hornets Wednesday night in just five innings, 15-1, to move to 4-0 in the SPSL 3A. Decatur pounded out 14 hits and Chris Carns allowed only two hits in his five innings of work on the mound, striking out nine. Carns also helped his own cause by finishing 3 for 4 at the plate with three RBIs and a home run. Isaiah Hatch also had a huge
day at the plate for the Gators, finishing 4 for 4 with five RBIs. The win over Enumclaw came a day after Decatur squeaked by Bonney Lake, 3-2. Hatch allowed just one hit on the mound and Derik Bontempo connected on a solo home run. Up next for the Gators is a home game against the No. 1-ranked Auburn Mountainview Lions Friday afternoon. The Lions (7-1) dropped their first game of the season Wednesday to Peninsula, 5-4. Beamer — The Titans (4-4 overall, 3-2 SPSL South) broke open a close game Wednesday by scoring four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to beat Bethel, 7-5. Taylor Davis had a huge game at the plate, finishing 3 for 3 with three runs and five RBIs. Kepa Sharpe was 2 for 3 with two RBIs. Blake Randazzo picked up the win on the mound. The Titans were beat in extrainnings Tuesday by GrahamKapowsin, 4-3. Jarred Prather was 2 for 3 with a solo home run and
Sharpe was 2 for 3 with an RBI. Federal Way – The Eagles (1-6 overall, 0-4 SPSL South) lost their fifth game in a row Tuesday to Emerald Ridge, 12-4. Derek Klaas finished 2 for 3 with a run and a double and Eduardo Peraza was 2 for 3 with a run. Jefferson — The Raiders (3-4 overall, 1-4 SPSL North) dropped a pair of SPSL North games to Mount Rainier and Kentridge. Against Kentridge Wednesday, Nathan Baughman finished 2 for 3 with three runs. Tuesday, the Raiders allowed Mount Rainier six runs in the third and seven in the fourth. Baughman and Jordan Price both had two hits and Hunter Henry connected on a solo home run.

“We return almost everyone and should be one of the better teams in the entire SPSL,” said Buchan. Leading the list is junior Cindy Park, who Buchan calls the second-best player in the league. Park was a state Kiele Bowman qualifier two years ago and was eliminated at the district tournament last season. Park will play on TJ’s No. 1 doubles team with freshman Crystal Lee, according to Buchan. Also back are district qualifier Michelle Lee, who will play No. 2 singles this year, and sophomore Rileigh Qualls, who will be the Raiders’ top singles player. Coco Hernandez-Tagoe and Gloria Oh are set to play No. 2 doubles.

BRIEFS: Henderson ready for Melendez clash By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
It’s obvious that Benson Henderson is getting comfortable being one of the best mixed-martial arts (MMA) fighters in the world. The 2001 Decatur High School graduate will defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight championship belt for the third time April 20 in front of a national television audience at UFC on Fox 7 at San Jose’s HP Pavilion. But Henderson has a lot more on his
list of goals in the UFC than just beating Melendez, the 155-pound champion from rival organization Strikeforce. Henderson has made it clear since he won the UFC title from Frankie Edgar in February 2012 that he wants to defend his belt a record number of times. Currently, superstar Anderson Silva holds the UFC record for title defenses with 10 in a row. Silva, who is recognized as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, is looking to extend that streak to 11 on July 6 against Chris Weidman. “I’m going to continue to work hard
to reach my goals,” Henderson told Bleacher Report. “Anderson is now at 10 title defenses, so my goal is to get 11. If he gets another title defense, then I’ll have to set my goal even higher. Those are the goals I set, and reaching that goal is not just about setting the record. Reaching that goal is about confirming I am the best fighter on the planet.” Next month’s fight against Melendez will be Henderson’s third title defense and he claims that he won’t be looking past him in San Jose, a fight that will be televised on Fox channel 13.

Henderson, the 155-pound champ, said he intends to request a super-fight against 170-pound champion St. Pierre following his title defense against Melendez. “I see all this talk about super fights and other fighters getting to dictate what weight classes they want to move up and down to in order to get title shots,” Henderson told MMAFighting.com. “I’m the UFC’s lightweight champion and I feel I should be allowed to make such statements myself. “Georges St. Pierre is one of the greatest fighters in our sport’s history. Of course I’d love to fight him, and I think the fans would want to see that fight too. It would be an honor to go up against such a great competitor, especially with a title on the line.” But Henderson’s bold claim of wanting to fight St. Pierre was quickly dismissed by UFC President Dana White. “That’s not going to happen,” White said. “He just won that title not too long ago. There are plenty of guys in the 155 division to defend that title against, and a possible fight with (Jose) Aldo if he moves up to 155... I don’t blame Ben Henderson for wanting to go to 170 that’s the big money fight.” Aldo is the current 145-pound champion in the UFC and is fighting Anthony Pettis Aug. 3 and the thought is if Aldo wins, he will move to 155 to take on the lightweight champion. Pettis is the last fighter to beat Henderson back in December 2011 in the final bout in the smaller World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) organization. Since

The pair finished 0-2 at state last year. “The key to the success of this team is how quickly they can figure out and hone their potential skills,” said Nam. “Much of this lies on mental strength and maturity of each player. In most part, the athletic ability and experience is there, but the fine tuning and polishing can be the difference between a win and loss and a season that ends in districts or state.”
then, Henderson (17-2 overall) is a perfect 6-0 in the UFC. Henderson held the WEC lightweight championship for over a year before having his 10-fight win streak snapped by Pettis. • Former Federal Way High School basketball star Morris Anderson will be back playing another season for the Bellingham Slam in the International Basketball League. Anderson, a 6-foot-3 guard, will be one of seven players returnMorris Anderson ing for the Slam, which captured the 2012 IBL championship last July. For the Slam, Anderson ranked second in scoring with 21.4 points per game and first in assists with 6.4. He captured the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award thanks, in part, to a league-leading 58 steals and was also an All-IBL selection. Anderson was also named Most Valuable Player of the IBL title game after scoring 29 points in the team’s win over Portland. The IBL is a professional basketball league based in Vancouver, Wash., and includes teams from Washington, Oregon, Canada, New Jersey, Florida and two from Japan. Players only make about $50 a game. Anderson graduated from Federal Way High School in 2005 and was the Mirror’s All-City Player of the Year as a senior.
