Community seeks closure in aftermath of shooting rampage

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council voted to approve a major traffic flow overhaul for the Westway neighborhood.

The plan would convert four roads — 23rd Avenue SW, 24th Avenue SW, SW 333rd Street and SW 334th Street — to one-way streets. The overhaul would also install two speed humps into the neighborhood, and provide for back-in angled parking in the neighborhood.

A separate agenda item, but directly related to the traffic improvement program for the neighborhood, was also approved during the council’s April 16 meeting. This measure will change the speed limit throughout the neighborhood from 25 mph to 20 mph.

Included in all of this was the council’s decision to exceed a $15,000 annual limit for traffic safety improvement projects, and instead spend approximately $30,000 for the project.

A memorial at Pinewood Village Apartments, located along South 333rd Street off Pacific Highway.

The victims were Justine Baez, Roland Scobee, Ceasar Valdovinos and Bradley Fischer.

Residents of the Pinewood Village Apartments are still in shock — and struggling for closure — after the deadliest shooting in Federal Way history.

Dozens of people packed City Hall on Wednesday for a community meeting just days after 27-year-old Dennis Clark III went on a homicidal rampage.

Around 9:35 p.m. April 21, Clark shot his live-in girlfriend, Justine Baez, 24, multiple times before killing three more people.

Clark was shot dead at the scene by Federal Way police after ignoring commands to stop reaching for a handgun.

One of the victims, 62-year-old Roland Scobee, was known among neighbors as an advocate who watched over the apartment complex. When the shooting broke out Sunday night, Scobee urged another resident to call 911. In an attempt to kill witnesses, the gunman breeched Scobee’s

door with a shotgun blast, then shot him.

“He used to walk me to the store to make sure I was safe,” resident Linda Phillips said of Scobee, who often chatted with folks outside when he smoked. “He was just a really good guy.”

Phillips and Mike Mellema have lived at Pinewood Village for four and a half years. They once lived in the same apartment unit where the gunman later resided, and had seen him around the complex.

Fear and sadness now ripple through the apartment complex in the shooting’s aftermath.

“I can’t see how a guy with that history can be allowed to have guns or rent an apartment,” said Mellema, concerned about criminal activity in the complex and nearby motels despite a steady police presence. “We were planning on moving when our lease was up. It’s a sure thing now.”

Details revealed in the days since the shooting have highlighted Clark’s [ more SHOOTING, page 4 ]

City approves $39,050 in tourism enhancement grants

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The Financial/Economic Development/Regional Affairs (FEDRAC) committee

approved $39,050 in tourism enhancement grants (TEG) for various events and organizations throughout Federal Way. The city received 15 ap-

plications totaling almost $132,000 in requested money. The total TEG budget is $45,000, with $40,000 able to go directly to event funding, while $5,000 goes toward non-event funding projects, such as brochures for the Historical Society of Federal Way. According to the city, the grants are aimed at “the promotion of cultural, arts, sports and community events as well as non-event programs that will enhance tourism activities in Federal Way.” A new event associated with the Farmers Market is the Apple Festival Run, scheduled for Aug. 24, and

Among the other events funded were the Northwest Women’s Open at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club ($3,000); the Desna Soccer Club’s “Desna Cup” ($2,000); Centerstage Theatre’s production of “It’s Only Rock and Roll” ($3,000); a men’s softball tournament ($2,000); a girls fastpitch softball tournament ($2,500); the Fiji Multi-Cultural Association’s Northwest Global Fest ($9,000); King Aquatic Booster Club Invitational ($4,500); Federal Way Knights Baseball and Softball Tournament

($1,500); the Federal Way Symphony’s production of “Holiday Time” ($2,000); and the Lions Club Car Show ($700).

Patrick Doherty, director of community and economic development, said the job of awarding these grants was an all-day process that went through two rounds.

With the recent success of the U.S. Olympic Diving Trials and the NCAA Diving and Swimming Championships, Councilmember Bob Celski asked if there’s anything being done to set aside money to try and attract those events again.

“We believe we are setting ourselves up to be on a four-year cycle between the women’s and men’s events,” Doherty said of the NCAA events. “We will be in a position to make a bid for the next one.”

As far as the Olympic trials go, Doherty indicated that the city’s next chance to host an event like that would be quite a few years down the road — although the city is still setting aside money to attract that kind of event in the future.

Councilmember Diana Noble-Gulliford asked about the U.S. Open, scheduled for 2015 at the

“We can...if we’re engaged enough, if we end up having a big enough block of rooms (at hotels), we could contemplate what we did last year with the banners,” he said, referencing a number of banners the city placed throughout the city during the Olympic dive trials. “So if people do stay here, they’ll feel they’re part of the fun here in Federal Way, as well.”

Hotel managers laud the swim competitions at the King County Aquatic Center. Out-of-town visitors pack the hotels and commonly ask about good places to eat in Federal Way.

[4] April 26, 2013 [ SHOOTING from page 1] tendencies for domestic violence, even though the gunman had no past criminal charges. As a juvenile in Snohomish County, Clark faced assault charges for allegedly shooting a girlfriend with a BB gun after a breakup, but those charges were dropped when he turned 18.

Just last month, Federal Way police responded to a domestic dispute at another apartment involving Clark and a different woman. No charges were filed, but the police report notes that at the time, Clark was driving a car that belonged to Justine Baez, his girlfriend of five years who died Sunday of gunshot wounds.

At Wednesday’s community meeting, Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter praised the multiple apartment residents who called 911 after the first shots were fired. Calling 911 takes courage, he said, but more importantly, it was a sign that people were taking control of their neighborhood.

Sumpter also praised victims Ceasar Valdovinos and Bradley Fischer, whom police believe confronted the gunman in the parking lot before they were killed.

“For me, those people are heroes,” said Sumpter, referring to 911 callers as well as all four victims.

The Valley Investigation

www.federalwaymirror.com Team, comprised of detectives from local police departments, is handling the case. Sumpter expects the investigation to continue for several weeks.

Mayor Skip Priest offered condolences to the residents on behalf of the city, and vowed to overcome the tragedy.

“We are a strong city, we are a strong community, and as a city, I promise that we will do everything we can to ensure that in fact we achieve that goal,” Priest told the residents. “We will overcome.”

Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell lauded the efforts of police and first responders, along with the community members who tried to assist at the scene.

“I cannot even imagine the terror and the fear that must have gone through your hearts and minds as you were huddled in your apartments or watching the horror that transpired,” Ferrell said, relaying the notion that domestic violence tears at the fabric of the community. “We’re going to heal this community back. We’re going to bind the fabric of our community back up. And that starts today.”

More facts • The Pinewood Village Apartments are at 33311 18th Lane S., located near South 333rd Street and Pacific Highway South. Among those pro-

viding support at Wednesday’s community meeting were Grace Church Chaplain Jon McIntosh and Christian Faith Center Pastor Casey Treat.

• Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson noted that the department received multiple inquiries from media outlets around the world, asking if there was a link to the recent Boston Marathon bombing tragedies.

There is no direct link. However, at Wednesday’s meeting at City Hall, Wilson said the Boston and Federal Way tragedies demonstrate the impact that such an event can have on a community.

“There’s also the recognition that this could happen anywhere,” Wilson told residents.

“To the friends and neighbors in this apartment complex, there’s nothing else you could have done or should have done.”

• The gunman had a concealed pistol license. Two weapons were found at the scene: a .40-caliber Taurus semi-automatic pistol, and a pistol-grip Mossberg 500 pump shotgun with a four-round saddle.

• The eight Federal Way police officers who discharged weapons at the crime scene were placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard protocol. The Auburn Police Department and the Valley Investigation Team are handling the case.

COURTESY IMAGE

[ WESTWAY from page 1] provided the necessary impetus for this improvement program.

On July 22, 2012, Wayde Rodrigues-Fale was riding a bicycle north on 24th Avenue South when he collided with a vehicle traveling east on SW 333rd Street. At the time, several Westway residents voiced concerns about the speed limits and traffic in the neighborhood.

“Sometimes it takes a tragedy to make things change, and that did occur with the fatal bicycling accident,” said Rick Perez, senior traffic engineer for the city. “In particular, that fatality gained two points, (and the neighborhood) need(ed) three points minimum to qualify.”

The biggest problem Perez foresees with the

project is enforcement of the relatively drastic changes.

“There would be some significant enforcement necessary to ensure compliance with one-way street restrictions in order to minimize the potential for head-on collisions,” Perez said. “The police department has committed to providing emphasis enforcement to help with that transition.”

Perez said the city sent about 200 “ballots” to residents in the neighborhood, asking for input on the proposed changes. While the city received about 40 responses, Perez indicated that those who did respond favored the changes by a two-to-one margin. Those who were not in favor of the changes cited the change to one-way streets as their biggest issue.

Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson explained how most of the “education” will be done, noting there is a standard process for neighborhoods.

“We’d use a 30-day warning period,” Wilson said.

“Education materials for residents…Enforcement would be a last resort, after we have made sure that education piece occurs.”

Councilmember Dini Duclos suggested that the homeowners association in the neighborhood go doorto-door with information on the changes, something Perez said the city would ask the homeowners association to do. Perez also indicated that signage will play a major role in the “education” component of the project, and that the city plans on installing a large number of them throughout the neighborhood.

Swim-a-Thon puts swim lessons in reach for local families From staff reports

The third annual Federal Way Swim-A-Thon is just around the corner, running from April 29 to May 5 at the Federal Way Community Center.

The event raises money to help cover the costs for children’s swim lessons, in an effort to prevent drownings and other issues that can befall children when playing in or near the water.

“Swim lessons save young lives,” said Federal Way Public Works and Parks Directer Cary Roe. “The Swim-A-Thon puts swimming lessons in reach of families that might not be able to afford to learn basic water safety skills.”

According to the city, about 20 kids per quarter are unable to cover the costs of swim lessons. The money raised from the Swim-A-Thon is open to children from kindergarten to high school, who come from low-income families.

In two years, the program has allowed 55 kids to get swim lessons.

The goal for the 2013 Swim-A-Thon is to raise $2,500, which would pay for 50 lessons. The average cost of a swim lesson is approximately $50. Contact Christie Welsh at (253) 835-6944 or christie.welsh@ cityoffederalway.com.

State budget must consider people before politics The article “State House passes budget with more education money,” which ran in the Federal Way Mirror April 17, pointed out that I voted “no” on the House operating budget plan.

I voted “no” for one simple reason — the proposed budget relies on tax increases on hardworking

Last week, two announcements brought both clarity and confusion to the race for mayor in Federal Way. The first announcement — that incumbent Skip Priest would run for re-election — was expected and adds clarity.

However, the second announcement

by Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell that he would not run for mayor caught most political observers by surprise and added a note of confusion to Ferrell supporters, and others, who were looking for change.

City Hall watchers have anticipated a rematch of the two mayoral finalists from 2010 for many months. In the 2010 race, Priest won with about 52 percent of the vote, and some in the Priest camp thought the race was closer than they expected. Priest and Ferrell were both Republicans and had many common friends.

As a result Ferrell campaigned harder and spent more money, but he did not aggressively attack Priest’s record. The thinking around town was that it could be different this time.

While Ferrell had avoided public disagreement with Priest in an effort to put the 2010 election behind him, his maneuverings over the past two years signaled he would seek a rematch. Ferrell had switched parties to become a Democrat. He declined an overture to run for the state Legislature, a position won by council colleague Roger Freeman. He was elected deputy mayor by the council, which increased his status and visibility. Further, Ferrell was able to get two potential allies appointed to the city council. This would give him a majority of the council as endorsers over Priest, a powerful message to the public.

Ferrell had also courted support from the Federal Way Police Guild who appear unhappy with Priest. Lastly, Ferrell had not only not dis-

couraged talk of a run, but in recent weeks he had made several moves laying the foundation for a campaign.

That made his decision not to run all that much more stunning.

His announcement about spending time with the family, concentrating on his job in the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, and using his talents as a council member to better the community are all probably accurate. But there is more to it than that.

Ferrell is among the more ambitious and politically knowledgeable public officials, and is smart enough to know you only get so many opportunities to grab the brass ring. At this point in his political career, time is becoming more an enemy than an ally, but after six races in 10 years, the prospect of another allconsuming race may have weighed too heavy.

Ferrell has a young family and many demands on his attention.

But another consideration might have been that Priest hasn’t really done anything wrong.

There has been behind-the-scenes unhappiness from the police. Some members of the business community are concerned over the city’s economic development efforts and the loss of high-profile businesses such as Orion and Baden. And a majority of the city council seem unhappy with the mayor.

But in political terms, that is mostly insider politics that have not affected the general public. Communicating a platform of being a different kind of mayor might have been a difficult task for Ferrell.

But could Ferrell have won? It might have felt like an uphill battle for him, but yes, he could have won. He proved his ability to pull the big [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

INSIDE POLITICS

EDITORIAL

May 1 is the National Day to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Here are my top three tips for how to avoid unplanned pregnancies.

1. Don’t have sex. Having sex is the number one cause of becoming pregnant. In this day and age, there are actually other ways to become pregnant, which involve a lot of miraculous science, caring doctors, hormonal treatments, and amazingly committed people — but sex is still the number one cause of pregnancy.

2. If you have sex, use protection. While no method is 100 percent effective against pregnancy, using protection can help, well, protect you from pregnancy — and condoms can also help protect you from sexually transmitted infections, which are a good thing to be protected from. It’s not very pleasant to get pregnant without meaning to, then find out you have an STI on top of it. Having an STI can cause problems with the pregnancy, the birth and the baby, not to mention your health.

So, if you’re going to have sex, use a condom and some form of hormonal birth control for maximum protection. This applies not only to young people, but also those of you who are older and newly back in the dating scene. Condoms, people.

They are your friend. Yes, I’m talking to you.

3. If you have sex, and use protection, and it doesn’t work for some reason, like the condom breaks, or you missed a pill, or you were sexually assaulted, use emergency contraception — which might be harder if you work at Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby is currently involved in some complicated legal proceedings to avoid $1.3 million a day in fines beginning in July if they don’t follow the current law, which requires companies to cover contraceptive options for employees.

Hobby Lobby’s owner, David Green, doesn’t like emergency contraception. He thinks it causes abortions (www.newsok.com), which isn’t true.

See, in order to have an abortion, you have to be pregnant. Emergency contraception doesn’t affect pregnancies that have already occurred. It only prevents them. It’s like a super-duper dose of a birth control pill — like extra protection you’d need in an emergency.

Besides, Hobby Lobby isn’t a church or religious organization, no matter how religious their owner is, so it doesn’t currently get that caveat under the law that religious organizations get to not provide contraceptive coverage. What it does get is its case heard before a full federal court in May, which is unusual, but guess what? Another federal court recently ruled that emergency contraception has to be available to anyone without a prescription.

So if you’re under 17, you can get it now without a prescription — but you still have to ask the pharmacist for it. And, the full federal court is still out on whether your insurance will cover it if you work for Hobby Lobby.

[6] April 26, 2013

● L E T T E r S - Y o u r opinion C o u nts :

While the headline may lead some to think I do not prioritize education, nothing could be further from the truth. I believe that not only should we fund education, but we should fund it first, in its own separate budget and before we fund anything else.

The bipartisan Senate proved

with their budget that we can fund education, allocating more money than has ever been dedicated to it before, without reaching deeper into citizens’ pockets.

Many people in our district can barely put food on the table, and the House budget would ask them for more money. According to the state Employment Security Depart-

ment, at the end of 2012, there were more than 34,000 unemployed people in Pierce County and more than 76,000 unemployed in King County. The House Democrats’ $1.1 billion tax increase proposal will cost the people of South King County jobs and slow the economic recovery that has added $2 billion already in state revenue collections through increased employment.

Asking for more money from struggling communities is putting [ more LETTERS, page 7 ]

April 26, 2013 [7]

www.federalwaymirror.com [ LETTERS from page 6] politics before people.

I cannot in good conscience vote to take more from unemployed and underemployed residents, and I will always vote “no” on that. I am hopeful there will be a bipartisan budget that I can support this session and I look forward to voting “yes” on that budget.

I encourage you to write me, call my office or come to Olympia and tell me your opinion about the laws that we are creating here on your behalf. I am here to represent the people of the 30th District and share their voice.

Rep. Linda Kochmar, Federal Way

Senate passes bad budget Local resident Pam Ranch recently wrote a letter titled “Kudos to Senator’s vote on the budget” where she praised Sen. Tracey Eide for “her brave vote for a responsible budget proposal advanced in the state Senate recently.”

I wish to take exception to her statement because to say this was a “responsible budget proposal” is a misnomer to say the least.

The final vote was on the budget was 30-18, and 17 Democrats and one Republican voted against this budget proposal for a very good reason: in the words of Gov. Inslee, it was a bad budget and he urged both Republicans and Democrats to vote against it.

This budget proposes to spend $33.3 billion over the next two years, $1.1 billion less than the governor’s proposed budget. It includes raising $1.2 billion in additional tax revenue — to meet state Supreme Court demands for K-12 funding — by closing tax breaks and extending existing taxes.

It adds $1.5 billion more for K-12 education funding.

However, it repeals the voter-approved cost-ofliving increase for teachers.

The problem with the Senate budget is that it funds education at the expense of vital programs for the poor and disabled.

In the words of Sen. Ed Murray (D-Seattle), “it’s not

sustainable, it’s gimmicks.”

Sen. Jeannie Darneille (D-Tacoma) added, “this budget picks winners and losers pitting education against social services.”

The state’s Office of Financial Management wrote a letter that “raises questions about how the budget moves around some money, taps certain funding sources and may be overpromising on government savings. Some of the moves might be unconstitutional.”

The House’s budget proposal ($34.5 billion, which is similar to the governor’s proposal because the House is controlled by the Democrats) would increase K-12 education funding by $1.9 billion, with $1.3 billion dedicated in response to the state Supreme Court ruling.

Unfortunately, the House budget also eliminates cost-of-living increases for teachers. House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan said “the Senate proposal simply pushes some education costs to future years. We feel that we should actually fund that program right now. You can pay it now or you can pay it later.”

I did email Sen. Eide where I told her I believed she voted for a bad budget and the reasons why. I work for the public schools, and in the end, I hope the House and governor’s budget proposal prevails as it is the “more responsible” budget in my opinion.

Gary Robertson, Federal Way

Gun control bill was a bandage OMG! The latest bill dealing with so-called gun control has failed in the Senate. It will not be long before we begin to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the supporters of this bill and others. I would not be surprised if we did not see something in this paper very shortly in that respect. I do not mean to seem unmoved or unfeeling by these tragedies that have affected the people in Newtown, Conn., or other such events.

This bill was nothing more than a political bandage with appropriate smoke and mirrors from Washington, D.C. This bill

[ ROEGNER from page 6] upset when he defeated incumbent powerhouse Mary Gates to win his first election to the city council in 2003.

And with the shifting political and community dynamics, a Priest-Ferrell race would have provided the public with two credible options. It would have been a good race. But now we won’t know who would

would have done nothing to save one child in Connecticut. This bill would have done nothing to stop any of the tragedies we have seen over the last decade. This bill was a pathetic joke by some politicians to placate gun control advocates and their supporters. Some gun control supporters will say, “but at least this is a beginning.” The question begs to be answered: a beginning of what?

The last time I checked, a beginning is usually followed by an end. So if this is a beginning, then what is the end game? This is a phrase I would be careful using around people who support the Second Amendment. These folks may interrupt this statement as not a beginning but the “first step” to a very slippery slope that may lead to further infringement on the Second Amendment.

Control of who can or cannot obtain guns is a very viable point that must be considered. But what about the mental health aspects of these tragedies? There have been a number of tragic events dealing with guns over the last decade. These events had two things in common. The first was that a gun was used, and even if a background check had been done, it would have made no difference. But second, we are finding that the perpetrators of these events all had mental health issues. The shooter in Colorado had been diagnosed as a person with homicidal tendencies, and his psychiatrist had even gone so far as to state that he was a danger to himself and others. When these facts were reported to police, his access badge to the school was revoked. I’m sure that made everybody feel safer.

If someone is drunk or mentally impaired, are they allowed to drive a motor vehicle? Absolutely not. We have laws to protect us from these people. But if the same person that is mentally impaired has a gun, or tries to obtain a gun, we have done very little to protect ourselves from this person. We would not allow a drunk to drive a car. Why do we do nothing to stop someone who is mentally

have won.

Or will we? Suddenly, crime has moved from the abstract East Coast to our more personal front porch, and behind-thescenes questions are being raised.

Could Ferrell be enticed into the race after all? Stay tuned.

Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, a former mayor of Auburn: bjroegner@comcast.net

incapacitated from obtaining firearms?

One badly written bill is not going to stop what I believe is our national tragedy. We have heard nothing from our elected officials in Washington, D.C., or Olympia. We have heard no dialogue or discussion dealing with the issue of mental health and guns.

I do believe that if we had as much serious dialogue and discussion on the subject of people with mental health issues and their ability to acquire guns, then I feel that we would have taken a serious step in the

right direction.

You might say that this was even a “beginning.”

Court Fraley, Federal Way

Rape n’ cameras The last issue of The Mirror had a column written by Amy Johnson. Her column is titled “Sex in the Suburbs.” This time she wrote on the subject of rape. I felt compelled to respond. I wrote a letter to the editor and decided to read it again before pushing the “send” button. I then realized that this letter would make half the people in Federal Way

mad at me. So I pushed the “delete” button.

Now I picked a different subject. Surveillance cameras. I have long opposed them. I have always felt that these cameras are looking at me every time I leave my house. Well, after seeing the success of these cameras in the Boston marathon bombing, I am beginning to change my mind. I am willing to give up some privacy in exchange for security.

But make no mistake. I am still opposed to cameras being used at traffic intersections.

Can aspirin prevent heart attacks?

By Nawang Sherpa, MD Franciscan Health System

You remember the old saying, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.”

For some people, a low-dose aspirin a day can help lower their risk of heart attacks.

For more than a century, aspirin has been used as a pain reliever for headaches and body aches. Since the 1970s, physicians have been prescribing low-dose aspirin to patients as a way to help prevent and manage heart disease and stroke.

Aspirin combats pain and inflammation associated with heart disease by blocking an enzyme called “cyclooxygenase.”

This causes the body to reduce its production of a substance called “prostaglandin” that triggers pain in the body. “Prostagladin” also causes blood platelets to form clots, and aspirin helps inhibits the formation of those clots. Blood clots can clog arteries that supply blood to the heart and increase a person’s risk of heart disease and stroke.

Aspirin therapy is not for everyone, and there are some side effects, including increased risk of ulcers and abdominal bleeding. Aspirin therapy may benefit patients who: • Suffered a heart attack or stroke • Have had a stent place in a coronary artery • Had bypass surgery • Suffer from pain due to coronary artery disease • Are at high risk for having a heart attack • A man over 50 with diabetes • A woman over 60 with diabetes A daily regime of low-dose aspirin can significantly reduce your risk of heart damage during a heart attack and reduce your risk of stroke. It’s important to always discuss the risks and benefits of any therapy with your medical provider. You also want to be sure to discuss any allergies and talk about other prescriptions you may be taking before introducing any new medications.

Most heart attacks occur when the blood supply to part of your heart or brain is blocked. Aspirin helps to “thin” the blood and prevent blood clots from forming. Who knew that a pill we take to stop a headache could also help stop a heart attack?

Preserve your aging joints Courtesy of Franciscan Health System

Many people over 40 have been tough on their knees, hips and other joints all their lives — jogging, playing tennis or racquetball.

In a quest to stay acDenise Wells, MD tive and reduce pain, an ever-growing number of people are now turning to joint replacement surgery.

Denise Wells, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Federal Way Orthopedic Associates. In her 23 years of

practice, she has seen many patients with joint pain either from overuse, sprains, tendonitis, torn muscles or arthritis.

Some of the injuries are from over-exercising while trying to get back into shape or lose weight too quickly.

Her best advice for getting to a healthy weight: “Start exercising slowly with low-impact exercises, then make steady increases over time while being careful not to overdo it.”

Even though joint replacements have a high success rate, you should take alternative steps to protect your joints. The Arthritis Foundation and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggest the following:

• Maintain a healthy weight. Losing extra pounds reduces stress, and wear and tear on knees, hips, back and feet.

• Exercise regularly. Physical activity protects joints by strengthening the muscles that support them.

• Swap high-impact sports for low-impact activities. Instead of tennis or running, try swimming, walking or playing golf.

• Avoid repetitive stress. Alternating strenuous activities with rest puts less stress on sensitive joints.

• Use over-the-counter or prescription medications to control pain and inflammation. You can also receive injections of corticosteroids directly in the painful knee joints.

• Take part in physical or occupational therapy. This can increase joint flexibility, muscle strength and range of motion.

• Use mechanical aids. Braces, crutches,

walkers, or canes may offer some help.

In the best of circumstances, these lifestyle changes may be enough to improve function and control pain. But if you have the following signs, speak with your doctor about possible joint replacement: • Joint pain is disturbing your sleep • Non-invasive treatments, including pain medications, are not controlling your joint pain • Joint pain is limiting your ability to keep up a normal routine • Your joint pain makes it hard for you to get out of a chair, climb stairs or get out of bed Over the years, surgical techniques have improved and new materials have been developed for implants.

As a result, these surgeries have become one of the most dependable procedures performed today.

UFC: Henderson retains lightweight Wrap up: championship, also gets engaged Eagles, TJ

soccer on title hunts

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Decatur graduate Benson Henderson throws a punch during his UFC lightweight title defense against Gilbert Melendez inside San Jose’s HP Pavilion Saturday night on national television. Henderson won by a controversial split decision. lance giles, For The Mirror

Decatur graduate gets another controversial decision victory, his seventh in a row in UFC By casey olson sports@fedwaymirror.com

San Jose, Calif. — It was a fight Benson Henderson was supposed to win, and he didn’t disappoint. But it wasn’t easy in the slightest for the current UFC lightweight champion of the world.

In fact, a huge portion of the sold-out crowd at San Jose’s HP Pavilion booed the decision for several minutes after Bruce Buffer announced Henderson won by split decision after five, five-minute rounds Saturday night against topcontender Gilbert Melendez.

Henderson won 48-47 on two of the judges’ cards, while Melendez won 48-47 on the other card in the main event of the UFC on FOX 7 nationally-televised broadcast.

“I know how tough Gilbert is and how tough all those guys are,” Henderson said over the boos from the HP Pavilion crowd. “They bring it every single time.”

The boos actually subsided a little bit from the crowd after Henderson earned his second victory of the night when he got down on his knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Maria Magana, who accepted in front of the national television audience.

“There’s a lot more important things than fighting,” Henderson said. “Take care of other things that were important. Today, I decided to do it. Go through with it. Manned up and did it.”

Henderson, a 2001 Decatur High

School graduate, is the only fighter to ever headline a non-pay-perview card. He also defended his 155-pound title on the UFC on Fox 5 card inside Seattle’s KeyArena.

Saturday night’s fight with Melendez came down to the fifth and final round. When the final buzzer sounded, both fighters raised their hands in the air thinking they were the ultimate UFC champion. Both Henderson and Melendez did some damage throughout the 25-minute fight.

“I knew it was close,” Henderson said. “He won the first round and I thought I won the next four. It is what it is. I thought he did a great job of dictating going forward and making me back up. After the first round, I thought I did a better job of going forward.”

“After the fight, some people had it a draw, some people had Ben [ more henderson page 21 ]

The Federal Way and Thomas Jefferson soccer teams remained on top of their respective divisions of the South Puget Sound League with wins Tuesday.

The Eagles (12-1-0) beat Curtis, 5-3, and the Raiders (10-0-3) dominated Kentridge, 5-0. The two teams appear headed to a collision in the SPSL championship game, which is Isidro Prado-Huerta slated for May 8.

Federal Way actually clinched at least a share of the SPSL South championship with the win over Curtis. The Eagles lead Puyallup by nine points with three matches remaining. Federal Way takes on Puyallup Saturday at Sparks Stadium and can win the SPSL South outright with a victory or a tie.

Against Curtis Tuesday, the Eagles got a pair of goals from Alex Lewis and single goals from Handson Pelogi, Garrett Brewer and Edwin Ortiz.

Jefferson remained unbeaten Tuesday with the win over Kentridge. Brandon Madsen and Isidro Prado-Huerta both finished with a pair of goals and Jamie Prado-Huerta netted TJ’s other goal. Luis Roman earned the shutout in goal for the Raiders. [ more wrap up page 22 ]

Eagles win prestigious Oregon Relays Federal Way boys, girls dominate track meet at Oregon’s Hayward Field, remain unbeaten in SPSL

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way’s Ta’Mara Richey set a school record in the long jump with a leap of 18-feet, 7.5 inches at the Oregon Relays. file photo

Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon has long been considered the Mecca of track and field in the United States. The historic stadium seats over 10,000 fans and has hosted events like the United States

Olympic Trials five times, the U.S. Championships six times, and also the NCAA Championships.

But, last weekend, it was Federal Way High School that shined the brightest on the hallowed Hayward Field. The Eagles won the prestigious Oregon Relays Friday and Saturday over other high school teams from all around the Western United States.

The Eagles, which included both boys and girls, finished with 132.5 points to blow away second-place Valor Christian from Colorado (87).

Eagle High School from Idaho finished third (86 points) and Oregon’s

Central Catholic was fourth (67). In total, 55 high school teams competed in Oregon.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” said Federal Way boys head coach Sam Beesley. “It’s our first time down here. We are in the holy land down here on the track and that seemed to motivate them.”

Senior Michael Tate was the only Federal Way athlete to win an individual event championship during the Oregon Relays. Tate, a wide receiver who is headed to San Jose State University on a full-ride, leapt [ more relays page 22 ]

Sidelines: How does it feel to get booed by 13,000 while proposing? Ask Henderson SIDELINES

Casey Olson

Benson Henderson’s nickname is Smooth, and that’s just what he was attempting to be Saturday night. I just don’t know if it actually worked out that way.

After retaining his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight championship with a controversial split decision victory over Gilbert Melendez inside San Jose’s HP Pavilion, Henderson asked his longtime girlfriend, Maria Magana, to marry him.

But the 2001 Decatur graduate didn’t employ the method that most men use to “pop the question.” Henderson did it in the middle of the Octagon in front of a live audience of 13,505 and a nationally-televised audience in the millions on Fox. Talk about confidence. But confidence is likely not a problem for a man that gets in fights to pay his bills.

“I brought the ring with me just in case I decided to go through with it,” Henderson said. “I was on the fence all week doing interviews and stuff. Then I was like, ‘OK I’m going to do it. I’ve got to man up and do it.’”

Things worked out just fine for Henderson. He beat Melendez, and Magana said, “Yes.” Seeing the proposal in person, it definitely wasn’t the most romantic thing ever produced. There’s no way Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will be starring in the movie version.

Henderson asked for Magana’s hand in marriage over a deafening chorus of “boos” from a vast majority of the 13,505 in attendance. The fans were displeased with the decision that went against Melendez, who lives and trains in the San Jose area.

“I’m very aware of how small fighting really matters in the grand scheme of things — wife, kids, family,” Henderson said. “Seriously, fighting. There are a lot bigger things in life. I’m able to keep things in perspective.”

Henderson really couldn’t explain why he picked the middle of the Octagon to get engaged and share one of the biggest moments in his life with the spectators in the building and TV watchers at home.

Henderson even asked permission from

the president of the UFC, Dana White (I have no idea if he asked Magana’s father, as well). According to White, he really had no idea how to respond. Romantic marriage proposals and the UFC really don’t go hand-and-hand.

“Henderson’s an interesting character, man,” is all White had to say after the fight.

After chatting with Henderson for 15 minutes, however, White checked with the Fox television production crew and gave him “permission” to pop the question.

Henderson took home $200,000 for his efforts at UFC on Fox 7, the highest of the card. Henderson received $100,000 for an appearance fee and a $100,000 win bonus.

In other news:

• Federal Way residents John Ansotigue and Ezekiel McDowell posted impressive finishes at the World Sport Stacking Association Championships April 6-7 in Orlando, Fla. The event is the pinnacle for international competitors vying for the fastest times stacking and unstacking plastic cups in various patterns. The event features individual, doubles and team competitions.

John Ansotigue Ansotigue, a physical education teacher at Evergreen Heights Elementary, who organizes local sport stacking events, made the most of his first time competing in the sport. He set a world record in the Ezekiel McDowell 3-6-3 team-timed relay.

Ansotigue also was first in the 3-3-3, second in the 3-6-3 and first in the cycle events for his age division. Ansotigue was competing in the senior 60-and-older age division.

McDowell competed in the 15-16 male category in Orlando. McDowell finished up in sixth-place overall in the 3-6-3 world sport stacking championships in a time of 2.499 seconds. McDowell also was sixth in the 3-6-3 team competition in a time of 16.835.

[ henderson from page 20 ] winning,” UFC President Dana White said. “All of his fights go to decisions and controversial decisions. It was a Ben Henderson fight.”

“I thought I won the first two (rounds) and the fifth for sure,” Melendez said. “I thought it was going to come down to the last round and I thought I won the fifth round.”

Melendez dominated the first two rounds, taking down Henderson twice in the first and connecting on a flurry of leg kicks while the crowd chanted “Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert…”

The second round ended with the two fighters exchanging punches in the middle of the ring and Melendez getting the better of it.

But things changed in the third round.

Henderson nailed Melendez with a huge leg kick, which resulted in quick knockdown. Henderson also scored a takedown onto the side of the cage and later connected with a left elbow. Henderson landed a big leg kick during the last 10 seconds of the third round and jumped on top of Melendez and hit him with several hammer fists as the bell rang.

“I took my foot off the gas a little in the middle,” Melendez admitted. “But I totally felt I turned it up in the fifth.”

Henderson continued to push the pace in the fourth round and connected on another leg kick midway, which dropped Melendez to the ground.

Melendez, 31, entered the match with an impressive 21-2 record during his MMA career and was the final Strikeforce

(a rival MMA organization) lightweight title holder, where he spent the last seven years of his career. Contractual champion clauses with the rival MMA organization kept him from making his long-awaited UFC debut until Saturday night against Henderson.

Henderson is unbeaten since coming over from World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) in 2011, winning all seven of his UFC fights. It’s the longest active streak among UFC lightweights and the second longest winning streak in UFC history.

It was also the seventh-straight UFC fight that ended in a decision. Henderson’s fights during his UFC career average more than 20 minutes, the longest average fight time in UFC history.

Henderson, 29, began his wrestling career during his time at Lakota Middle School and continued wrestling at Decatur. He went on to wrestle at Dana College in Nebraska and started MMA fighting a year after a dare from a couple of wrestlers.

Chronic pain is a growing health problem throughout our country. Most people who suffer from chronic pain find it difficult to obtain the care and treatment they truly need to relieve and manage their pain. Most physicians have little or no training in pain management. And well-meaning friends and relatives who have never suffered from chronic pain often dismiss its debilitating effects.

Acupuncture has been shown to relieve pain and many people experience a deep sense of relaxation during and after their treatment. My goal is to relieve your pain and encourage your body to return to its natural state of balance to prevent the pain from returning. We invite you to explore Acupuncture. You will be surprised at how painless and effective Acupuncture can be. We offer a free 15 minute consultation to answer your questions. I am ready to help. Are you ready to relieve your pain?

Briefs: Beamer dance team wins eighth state hip-hop title From Mirror staff reports

The Todd Beamer High School dance team is the gold standard in the hiphop division. For the eighth time in the last 10 years, Beamer snagged the hiphop title at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) Dance/Drill State Championships last month inside the Yakima SunDome.

Beamer blew away the rest of the competition in the Class 4A competition in Yakima. The Titans tallied 281.2 points to win the hip-hop category. Pasco followed with 273.3 points and Kentwood was third (270.6).

The Titans also went on the next week to finish second and third in their divisions at the USA Nationals 2013 Dance/Drill Championships, which were held March 29-30 inside the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, Calif.

The 21-member team is coached by Valicia Valiani and the team also won

the West Central District championship. Team captains include Dezmond Garcia, Madison Niksich and Sorelle Hardin, who are all seniors at Todd Beamer.

Other members of the team are Megan Aasen, Madeline Blauser, Justin Bowman, Sarah Clow, Kalena Corpuz, Sakile Fundisha-Bey, Layne Hardin, Laura Islas, Tyrik Jackson, Ha Young Kim, Nicki Marie Sainte, Breanna Mathews, Mia Newberry, Jhasmine Rabara, Natalie Smith, Juliana Song, Anna Yi and Adam Yoon.

The dance team’s season will officially end May 3-4 with their annual showcase, the Beamer Breakdown.

The Beamer Breakdown is a dance show that features their winning state and national routines, as well as other dance styles, including contemporary, jazz and ballroom. The Beamer Breakdown also includes performances by other award-winning guest groups, including professional dance groups as well as Illahee Middle School,

among others.

Beamer Breakdown ticket sales provide the primary source of funding for the team’s costumes and travel to events. Tickets are available at the door for $8 for students and $10 for adults.

For group discount rates or other ticket information, contact kellilauritzen@ comcast.net.

Omelia took home medallist honors on the first playoff hole when Johnson took his only bogey of the day.

Johnson’s 63 is the Todd Beamer High School graduate’s best ever round, topping an 8-under 64 he shot at Riverbend Golf Course in Kent during high school

competition.

Johnson was a two-time state 4A runner-up in high school.

He is also the defending Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges individual champion and will look to repeat this year at the championship tournament, which is May

19-20 in Walla Walla.

“This was a big confidence boost for me,” Johnson said. “It was super special. I knew I had to be aggressive to make birdies and make up ground.

Hopefully this will continue as we move forward as a team toward the May championships.”
