Fire board approves lawyer for firefighter

Loan application splits city council

By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com

South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) will retain legal counsel for a firefighter who is under investigation by the state Department of Health.

Firefighter Brandon Church — who is the son of Fire Chief Al Church — was disciplined by SKFR in 2012 after sending a Facebook message with “sexual innuendo” to a woman he treated during an emergency response earlier that day, according to documents. The content of that message has not been disclosed.

SKFR disciplined Church and charged him with professional misconduct. Until recently, the case appeared closed.

The investigation stems from a complaint filed in July with the health department by Jerry Galland, a candidate for SKFR’s board of commissioners in the general election. Galland said SKFR failed to notify the health department of Church’s misconduct as required by the Washington Administrative Code’s (WAC) mandatory reporting laws.

Pictured above: Michelle Ruckwardt sings during dress rehearsal as the cast of Friendship Theatre’s production of “The Music Man” performs a musical number at the Knutzen Family Theatre in Federal Way. Apostrophe, a concept developed by AWARE Inc. CEO Larry Noonan, advocates for people with developmental disabilities and gives them another way to advocate for themselves.

With a 4-3 vote, the Federal Way City Council approved moving forward with the application process for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 loan program.

Section 108 is a specific program that allows cities to borrow against their Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in order to fund capital projects — like the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) — or for economic revitalization efforts.

Using current numbers, what would essentially be a “balloon” payment would be made to the city for approximately $3.03 million, and would be repaid, if the city is the principle borrower, by diverting approximately $150,000 to $200,000 annually from the city’s CDBG funds over the term of the loan.

The dissenting votes were Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell and Councilmembers Susan Honda and Kelly Maloney. All three expressed reservations that the projected $3.03 million total that’s possible from the Section 108 program would go toward the PACC, and essentially means the city would pick up extra debt to finance the formative project.

PACC FACTS • Seattle-based developer Lorax Partners estimates that a 700-seat arts center with a 3,000-square-foot conference space could cost about $31.7 million. Preliminary designs include green landscapes, and an option to build a hotel.

• In 2010, the city bought the 4-acre site on 20th Avenue South with a state grant worth $5 million. As a condition, the PACC must be built within 10 years, or the city must pay back the money with interest.

• So far, Federal Way’s economic development department claims the city has access to nearly $16.3 million for the PACC project, including a recent state grant for about $2.3 million. The city hopes to make up the difference with a New Markets Tax Credit worth up to $7 million in a best-case scenario, along with about $6.3 million in best-case scenario fundraising through naming rights and grants.

• The city has promised to build the PACC project without creating debt because the funding plan requires raising the construction money upfront.

• According to the HUD website, Section 108 loans are not risk-free: “Local governments borrowing funds guaranteed by Section 108 must pledge their current and future CDBG allocations to cover the loan amount as security for the loan.”

• A 2012 study of the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program notes: “Though most guaranteed loans are repaid using an income stream from the activity assisted by the loan proceeds, borrowers can use CDBG grant funds (and program income) to repay the loans.”

Committee OK’s $82,000 for signs Sex offender program gets the green light

By Greg Allmain

gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way Parks and Recreation/Human Services/Public Safety committee approved an agreement for the making and installation of a number of “monument” signs throughout Federal Way parks.

The agreement would see the city spending approximately $82,000 on these signs in the near future.

The agreement will be approved or denied by the full city council during the council’s Sept. 3 meeting.

Steve Ikerd, parks and facilities manager for the city, highlighted a few places where these signs are already up, saying the city has been fabricating them itself in order to figure out what works best.

“We’ve built a few to try

and work through the bugs, because this was a selfdesign,” Ikerd said during the committee’s Aug. 13 meeting. He noted signs at Celebration Park, which has a 6-foot sign, along with a 2-foot sign at the BPA Trail.

“We’ve lived with these for a couple of years. (And we’re) getting the feel of how

they’d function, and we’ve tweaked them a little.”

Ikerd indicated that there’s approximately $39,000 in carry-over funds from previous budgets, and that approximately $42,000 would be used out of the parks department’s maintenance fund.

“We’ve still got a lot of old wood signs with the old logo still,” he said. “We’ve been getting a pretty favorable reaction to the new signs.”

Committee member Kelly Maloney asked if Ikerd had any timeframe for the completion of these signs.

Ikerd said he and his staff anticipate probably between nine months to a year.

“It will probably take us a while,” he said. “We’ve got to get a permit for each sign, and that just takes a while to get through that process. But if we get the

contract…(it will probably be) a year-long contract or nine months, and we’ll push to get them done as soon as possible.”

Maloney asked about the ability to modify these signs in case any major changes occur as the city works on improving its image in the region. Public works director Cary Roe was on hand for the Aug. 13 meeting, and said there is a degree of changeability in the signs.

“That costs some money but they’re not crazy expensive,” Roe said.

According to the staff report compiled for this, the city plans on doing 26 of these signs throughout the city, with 21 of those 26 signs being the 4-foot model. The costs for each type of sign are as follows: • 6 feet: $2,985/each • 4 feet: $2,443/each • 2 feet: $1,651/each

Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson got approval from the Parks and Recreation/Human Services/Public Safety committee for approximately $44,000 in grant money from King County as a means to support the city’s “check up” program on registered sex offenders who live in the city.

Depending on the offender’s level, they get a visit from Federal Way police officers anywhere between once and three times a year. This grant money helps cover a fair amount of costs for FWPD, Wilson said during the committee’s Aug. 13 meeting.

“We have over approximately 220 registered sex offenders in the city of Federal Way, and about 10 Level 3 (the highest risk to reoffend) offenders,” Wilson said. “This is important work, and tracking the data on these particular offenders in this registration program is important. Our capability to be reimbursed for

IN TANDEM WITH YOUR BUSINESS

our costs to go out and visit these individuals who are within our city, is important.”

Committee member Kelly Maloney asked if the approximate $44,000 covers FWPD’s costs for this particular program, with Wilson replying that it doesn’t cover the full costs, but that “it’s a pretty good amount to be able to do it.”

“I have a detective assigned specifically to the management of registered sex offenders,” Wilson added. The grant money is in addition to that detective and allows FWPD to be able to get out and check, he said.

Committee chair Susan Honda asked Wilson if there are any other eyes on these offenders throughout the year.

Wilson said that technically, no, there isn’t much contact with these offenders outside of these annual to quarterly checks. City staff present at the meeting also indicated that the state Department of Corrections has regular check-ins with the offenders, depending on whether they recently offended and other factors.

This item was forwarded to the Sept. 3 Federal Way City council meeting for the full approval of the council.

Federal Way resident Norma Blanchard was shut down during the July 16 city council meeting from making public comments about the investigation into an incident involving Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest and Councilmember Kelly Maloney.

At the time, city attorney Pat Richardson cited the council’s rules regarding conduct at the public comment podium.

Upon further review, Richardson issued an apology to Blanchard, indicating that she had acted too quickly during the July 16 meeting.

However, for Blanchard, the apology was not enough — and she let the council, Priest and Richardson know during the Aug. 6 meeting.

“At the last meeting, July 16, I tried to make some statements and I was stopped by our city attorney,” Blanchard said. “Since then, I’ve got a letter from the city attorney with two apologies in it…I’ve looked in the city council rules and procedures, and it says nothing about that, so how the hell are we supposed to know? My notes, I’ve still got them, had nothing to do with what the city attorney was saying.”

“This is the second time I’ve personally ran up against something that the city attorney did not understand. I would like to ask that she resign. We need to get another city attorney. She’s not doing the city any favors, she’s not doing a good job,” she said.

Priest interjected and reminded Blanchard of the rules of conduct for public comment, which prohibit members of the public from making personal statements about council members or city staff. Priest reads the rules aloud before every public comment period at meetings.

“You know, Ms. Blanchard, that personal comments about staff (are not allowed), as you know,” he said. “You’ve been here a long time.”

“I know I have and this is my time to speak,” Blanchard shot back. “You can speak after I’ve spoken. I’m totally ticked off about this.”

Priest attempted to mollify Blanchard, but reiterated the rules for public comment.

“I understand, Ms. Blanchard, I understand. But at the same time, this is not the appropriate place to make personal comments about our staff,” he said.

“Resign or fire her,” Blanchard said, before leaving the podium.

District: Lower registration costs From staff reports

Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) announced on its website that $735,000 in student fees have been eliminated for the upcoming 2013-14 school year.

According to the district, “the final budget adopted by the school board eliminates many of the student fees the district charged in recent years, and was made possible by state funding.” Among those costs eliminated for students and families are physical education uniforms, required workbooks and publications, technology fees, planner fees, instrument rental fees, and career and technical course fees. Costs that students and families will still be asked to take on include “athletics, traffic safety, tuition-based all-day kindergarten, preschool tuition and school lunches.”

3 schools integrate IB program

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program, a highly intensive rigor-oriented program at Thomas Jefferson High School, will now receive students who are familiar with the challenging program, thanks to the inclusion and certification of the IB’s Middle Years

Programme (MYP) at Kilo Elementary and Totem Middle School.

This certification and alignment is the end game of several years of work, according to Christine Baker, principal at Totem Middle School.

“We’ve been working on this for several years,” she said. “We were all candidate schools during

the process. Getting all the schools to work together, to understand the Middle Years Programme criterion, assessments, all the other parts of the program. It was a completely different way to look at teaching and learning and cooperation from sixth through tenth grades.”

The IB program’s website describes MYP as “designed for students aged 11 to 16.

It provides a framework of learning which encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers.

The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and to the real world.

It fosters the development of skills for communication, intercultural understanding and global engagement, qualities that are essential for life in the 21st century.”

“It’s really about transforming all three schools with a common goal of rigor and acceleration, and getting more students to become IB diploma students in 11th and 12th grades,” Baker said.

Baker added that the three schools’ work to be certified for this program should not have much impact on the district’s upcoming adoption of Common Core Standards, a federally mandated educational framework that will be rolled out over the next couple of years.

“What we’ve been doing, and will continue to do, is to make sure there are not two separate things going

on in the schools,” she said.

Margaret Peterson, principal at Kilo Elementary, said she feels the three schools’ inclusion in MYP furthers the district’s overall goal of making its students global citizens.

“You’re part of something that’s bigger than the school, the district or the state, because it’s global.

These are standards that are important and beneficial to kids because it helps our students to think beyond Federal Way,” she said.

The culmination of this project is also something fairly unique in her extensive career as an educator, Peterson said.

“In order to do this, we had to work closely with Totem and TJ. Our teachers are starting to get to know one another, and we’re achieving vertical alignment from grades 6-12. I’ve been in the district for 25 years, and I’ve never seen it happen yet,” she said.

“I think this is going to take all three schools a big step up to the next level.

(The MYP and IB are) just good preparation for life.”

Liz Drake, principal at TJ, also sees this most recent certification as an important step for making sure Federal Way students are well prepared for life beyond Federal Way. “With an IB diploma certificate, in some cases, they can get into a university as a sophomore,” she said.

“It’s very well thought of in universities. The students who are on this IB track are being prepared for that diploma program from sixth grade on.”

City shifts gears with new school zone signs

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council, during its Aug. 6 meeting, approved a change to its school zone enhancement plan.

The council approved the city staff ’s recommendation to purchase and install “variable readout” signs at a number of school zones throughout the city.

The plan had previously called for the purchase and installation of “blank out” signs similar to the ones encountered on I-5 outside of Seattle. However, that plan was scrapped after the city learned of a number of issues in dealing with the vendor of those signs, said Rick Perez, senior traffic engineer for the city.

The Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) experience with these blank out signs has not been that favorable.

“The vendor did not make their delivery dates, not by a long shot actually, and the equipment has not been terribly reliable,” he said.

Perez said the city of Renton had found another vendor for the blank out signs, but that the customer service experience with that vendor was even worse.

“That vendor had been slow to deliver, basically, what’s promised in two weeks ends up being closer to six months. The software has a few bugs in it, and the vendor has not been particularly responsive to resolving these issues,” he said. “And it has been particularly troublesome for (the city of Renton) in their photo enforcement locations.”

Perez noted that neither city staff nor King County

www.federalwaymirror.com

staff had been able to find another vendor of the “blank out” signs, which meant the shift to the variable readout signs.

“Basically it’s a speed limit sign that has a digital readout for the number, so it would read…20 mph when the school zone is in effect,” he said, noting that the message would change in most cases to indicate a speed limit of 35 mph for non-school hours.

Perez said installation of these variable readout signs would likely be completed by the end of October.

Along with this, Perez updated the council on the improvements being made to six schools in the city this summer: Saghalie Middle School, Spring Valley Montessori, Twin Lakes Elementary, Brooklake Christian School, Panther Lake Elementary and Sacajawea Middle School. The improvements being implemented at these schools include larger school zone signs, and advance warning signs that notify people there’s a school zone ahead.

There were also some retrofits that will upgrade the pedestrian crossings at Saghalie, Perez added, while school zone flashers are being added to Dash Point Road near Sacajawea.

“The rectangular flashing beacons for Saghalie and the school zone flashers for Sacajawea, in both cases the equipment has been ordered,” Perez said. “Delivery is expected in mid-August, and construction is to be completed by the end of August.”

The school zone enhancement plan is being carried out on a school by school basis, with an annual average cost of $215,000 a year, according to the city.

Mirror adds Little Nickel From staff reports

Beginning in September, Sound Publishing Inc. will combine the strength of its community newspaper readership and home delivery with the respected classified content and brand recognition of its Little Nickel products.

Little Nickel’s advertising will be delivered within the pages of Sound Publishing’s community newspaper products, including the Federal Way Mirror.

“Our Nickel advertising clients will certainly see the benefit of having their advertising message delivered directly to homes. And our readers will no longer

Coffee roaster and wholesaler Caffe D’arte will move to FW

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Coffee roaster and wholesaler Caffe D’arte will move its headquarters to Federal Way in 2014.

After 27 years in South Seattle’s Georgetown area, the company needs more room to grow, said general manager Joe Mancuso.

Founded in 1985, Caffe D’arte and its nearly 60 employees will move to the former Orion Industries building at 33926 9th Ave. S. Boeing supplier Orion is relocating to a new facility in Auburn and is expected

to vacate the premises in February.

Caffe D’arte expects to be fully operational in Federal Way before the end of June 2014.

The company’s principal owner, Jeff Stock, is also CEO of Wild Waves Theme Park and owner of Omni Properties. Federal Way was chosen for the company’s new headquarters because of Stock’s rich history of doing business in the city, Mancuso said.

“We’re excited about the move to Federal Way. We’re excited to be part of a community that will embrace

us,” Mancuso said. “It’s a big move for the company.”

Caffe D’arte buys and roasts green raw coffee from around the world.

The Federal Way facility will allow for more roasting and packaging capabilities, Mancuso said.

Caffe D’arte is strictly a wholesale brand that’s found in local restaurants, cafes, bakeries and hotels.

Well-known customers include The Lobster Shop in Ruston and Dash Point, and Pacific Grill in downtown Tacoma.

The primary election went according to form as the expected finalists made it through to November.

But there were some surprises in the numbers. In politics, if the incumbents attract less than 50 percent during the primary, then they are considered potentially vulnerable, as it serves as a bellweather for funding and support.

Above 50 percent, they are considered in good position, and it will be an uphill battle for their opponent.

Appointed incumbent Federal Way City Councilmember Kelly Maloney had the biggest number of the night at 51 percent against second-time candidate Mark Koppang, who had 32 percent. Third-place finisher Anthony Murrietta had 16 percent.

Maloney has only been on the council for a few months. She is not well known citywide, has never run for office before, and Koppang is a good candidate. Pre-primary estimates would have put her and Koppang at about 42 percent to 44 percent each. Maloney’s drawing over 50 percent is eye catching. And while both candidates are conservative, Koppang has held a position in the 30th District Republican party.

That’s relevant because Democratic voters will be looking for a candidate to vote for now that Murrietta is out of the race. They would seem more likely to go for Maloney.

But the big story the political types were watching was whether Maloney’s complaint about Mayor Skip Priest’s behavior would have

any impact on the election. Would there be a bounce-back that made her numbers drop below 40 percent? Would we see a mayoral race in the subset of numbers? It seems unlikely that anyone who will vote for Skip Priest will also vote for Kelly Maloney. If you’re voting for Priest, you’re probably voting for Koppang.

With Koppang finishing 8 percent below 40 percent, and Maloney finishing 11 percent above 40 percent, the numbers would suggest the voters found her believable. We may be in for a close mayoral race. Also, even though Maloney’s numbers are very good, don’t count Koppang out just yet.

The other notable surprise of the evening was that appointed incumbent City Councilmember Diana Noble-Gulliford ran second at 40 percent to Martin Moore’s almost 47 percent. However, that may be misleading as Noble-Gulliford is a Republican and Moore is a Democrat, and third-place finisher Ryan Miller is a Republican. Miller captured 13 percent, which will go to Noble-Gulliford in November.

This will be a close race.

In the race for Federal Way School Board, Carol Gregory had approximately 45 percent, newcomer Medgar Wells had 37 percent, and K. Lance Barton was at 17 percent. This will also be a very close race in November.

In Auburn, Deputy Mayor Nancy Backus ran an almost incumbent type race in her effort [ more ROEGNER, page 9 ]

Back to school is just around the corner, and many young people will be heading back with new smartphones, so let’s review some safety tips for your tweens and teens.

We only have to look as far as former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner to know what not to do.

Mr. Weiner resigned in 2011 after a scandal where he “accidentally” sent pictures of his private parts electronically to women who were not his wife. This is known as “sexting.”

To be perfectly clear, it would still be sexting even if he sent them to his wife. Now, in the midst of a mayoral candidacy in New York City, Anthony Weiner (I know, such an unfortunate name for someone with this problem) is back in the news because some pictures surfaced again — even after he apologized and was really, really sorry and was going to spend more time with his family.

Here are my top five tips for you, in case you were thinking you could do a better job with this than Mr. Weiner.

1. Don’t think twice — think about 200,000 times — before clicking and pressing send. Think things like: “Could there be any circumstance ever, in the next, say, 50 years, when I might regret sending this picture to this person?” And “Is there any chance this person might ever find a reason to use this picture in such a way that would be unflattering to me?” And “What is the worst case scenario involv- Is there some ing this picture?” And “Is there other way I can convey what I’m some other way I can convey hoping to convey what I’m hoping to convey besides sending a picture of my besides sending a picture of genitals electronically, which automatically means the picture my genitals electronically? is out in the electronic-sphere forever?”

2. If you are under 18, sending any kind of pictures of your genitals or breasts is considered child pornography. Don’t do it. Just don’t. Not even this one time.

3. These are also good things to think if you are over 18.

4. If you’re in a relationship, remember that if your boyfriend or girlfriend is pressuring you to send him or her some pictures, you need a new boyfriend or girlfriend — or at least some new boundaries about what you will and won’t do in a relationship.

5. If you’ve been drinking, give your keys and your phone to a sober friend to keep for you until you can think like a sober person, or at least with the maximum amount of brain cells available.

If you want to let someone know you “like them that way,” try telling them straight up, or send a note, or a card, but not a picture of your privates.

Find out if the person returns your affections by asking, not by sexting. If they do reciprocate your feelings, talk in person or on the phone, not by texting. Find out what is OK and not OK with this person in terms of showing affection.

Private parts are private for a reason, and are best shared — you guessed it — privately.

Just because we have the technology doesn’t mean we should use it. Take a breath. Think carefully. Then take your finger off the send button and talk to your intended, privately, instead.

Shame on you for discrediting cop

www.federalwaymirror.com [ LETTERS from page 8] in a parking lot. Your article infers that you don’t believe Officer Crispin saved my life. Well, he did.

This punk slashed my arm down to the bone, severing the muscles completely and cutting an artery. Officer Crispin took one look on his arrival at the scene, got a tourniquet and applied it effectively to my arm. The orthopedic surgeon who treated me at Harborview credits Officer Crispin with saving my life. The punk who assaulted me with his “neck knife” and then fled the scene claimed that I was beating him up. He even had his brother give him a black eye to back up his story. How do we know Megan Graham didn’t acquire her black eye the same way?

Yes, the man acted stupidly in pursuing relations with other women, but you conveniently ignored the fact that the woman responded in kind, then developed a conscience. Shades of Monica Lewinsky! You cite the number of phone calls from Officer Crispin to her, but ignore her calls to him. He did not “abuse his authority” by forcing himself on her and I know first-hand that he wears his wedding ring prominently, so she knew he was married when she responded to him. Now we’re to believe that she sent him nude pictures of herself in an attempt to get him to stop? Calling Officer Crispin a pervert and a bully is like calling Bill Clinton a terrorist. But you’re not interested in publishing the entire story because then you could not enthrall your readers with yet another story of the misuse of authority by those “evil, perverted” police officers.

Well, that “evil, perverted” police officer saved my life and I thank him, as do my family, friends and co-workers.

Shame, shame, shame on you for misusing your privilege as a journalist in order to discredit those who work hard every day to protect and save our lives.

What’s the business plan for the PACC? Dear Federal Way City Council members, Here’s the information the public needs to know about the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) before spending their hard-earned tax dollars.

This is a basic business plan —

nothing more than any investor would ask before funding a startup business.

I hope the Federal Way City Council has received this information from the PACC proposal before borrowing or directing tax dollars to the PACC project. This information should also be available to the public.

• Evaluate initial startup costs.

• Establish the fundamental viability of the project.

• Define your services and customers and assess competitors.

• Map out the business model, the goals and strategy used to achieve them.

• Communicate clearly the business idea.

• Explain your service.

• Describe your target customer. Back up your evidence with reports and market research.

• Explain how much your customers will pay for each of the services you will provide.

• Explain how much service you can provide in a typical year.

Back this up with supporting evidence.

• Examine how much it costs to provide each service considering the overhead expenses, such as keeping the lights on or paying somebody to staff the front desk.

• Detail how much startup investment will be required and what you need it for.

• Explain why your business is viable and what evidence you have to support this claim. This will require market research to demonstrate that there is a viable market for your service.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

The strength of our community On Saturday, Aug. 3, 130 volunteers of all ages came together to invest in two local elementary schools.

Members of Grace Church Federal Way, South King Fire and Rescue, Communities in Schools, FWPS, Adelaide Elementary staff and families, Adelaide HOA, Roots Church and City Wide Christian Fellowship invested 520 man hours preparing the facilities and grounds for their students’ return next month.

Some of the labor was backbreaking or tedious — picking weeds, pruning undergrowth, moving 24 yards of gravel, 12 yards of bark and painting buildings. These servant leaders made an investment in children they

Councilmember John Partridge had 37 percent and Scot Pondelick had 15 percent. However, with Backus under the magic 50 percent mark, this may turn into a race if Partridge can attract Pondelick’s voters.

The strength of our community is found in large hearts and generous spirits. Organizations like SKFR, CIS, FWPD, FWPS and others are led by serviceminded men and women who are committed to investing in the lives of others, and that commitment secures the future of our city.

As elections draw near and much attention is given to what is “wrong with our leaders” or “wrong with our community,” I want to take this opportunity to thank those who faithfully and selflessly invest in our city. You make our city great.

Roegner’s column makes something out of nothing There he goes again. Political columnist Bob Roegner works hard to make something out of nothing, while also trying to incite dissension.

It starts with the heading on the front page of The Mirror (which is clearly anti-mayor): “Roegner: Mayor refuses to challenge council.” Oh really?

Just how did he “refuse?” What should he challenge them about?

Should he make up something just for the sake of it?

Roegner seems to have a “control issue.” He suggests some current council members are reluctant to implement things that would “reduce their power.” Has anyone heard them gloat about their “power?”

He refers longingly to the “bully pulpit” of the mayor’s office to get things done. The need for “power” and “bully pulpits” is all in Roegner’s mind. Maybe that’s how Mr. Roegner “ruled” when he was mayor of Auburn.

How did that work out? Federal Way doesn’t need “bullies.” What Mr. Roegner really wants is a dictator-mayor. Someone who will rule with an iron fist. He wants someone who will come in and fire all department heads, whether they needed it or not.

Roegner laments that since Mayor Skip Priest started, “only one department head has left.”

Could it be that the rest are doing [ more LETTERS page 10 ]

after his loss in last year’s Attorney General race.

Maybe not. Dunn finished at 56 percent. Appointed Councilmember Rod Dembowski in District 1 took 70 percent and looks safe.

Lastly, King County Executive Dow Constantine, as expected, rolled to victory with 76 percent.

Try and see as many candidates in person as you can. The Mirror will host debates on Oct. 9 and Oct. 23.

Mr. Federal Way’s Q&A: Kids, salaries, sexting Q: Hey Mr. Federal Way, why is it like pulling teeth to get my kids to go outside and play during the summer?

A: Mr. Federal Way has the same problem, and it’s truly an amazing phenomenon. Mr. Federal Way remembers being a kid a “few” decades ago and never wanting to come inside, especially during the summer months when there was no school. What has changed?

Mr. Federal Way knows the answer: video games and the endless television channels now available.

Instead of meeting up with your buddies and heading down to the neighborhood park to actually play a “real” game of basketball, baseball, football, tennis, kick-the-can or hide-andgo-seek, kids can do all that stuff on their XBox or watch it on high-definition TV. And that’s not a good thing, at all. It’s easy to see why there is a big-time problem with child obesity nowadays. Heck, there’s actual campaigns all over TV designed to get kids out of the house to play. Really? It’s unbelievable that you need to coax kids to get off the couch to go have fun outside.

But that’s exactly what Mr. Federal Way has to do these days.

There have been numerous times where Mr. Federal Way has been forced to physically turn off the TV and tell the kids to “GET OUTSIDE.” The end result in Mr. Federal Way’s mandate usually ends with the kids standing around in the backyard counting down the minutes until they are allowed back in the house.

It’s beyond frustrating.

But, Mr. Federal Way and the rest of the parents have to take some of the blame. Mr. Federal Way has been known to sit in front of the TV watching re-runs of “Duck Dynasty” or “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what do you think of the Federal Way school superintendent’s pay raise and global trips?

A: Obviously, Mr. Federal Way should have gotten into the superintendent business. Because penning a weekly question-andanswer column for the Federal Way Mirror is not putting Mr. Federal Way in the same tax bracket as the head of the schools in town.

Federal Way Public Schools Superintendent Rob Neu’s base salary will be $240,000 for the 2013-14 school year, an approximate increase of $42,000 from the

base salary of $198,000 he made for the past two school years.

According to The Mirror, Neu’s salary is the third highest for any superintendent in the state, behind only Seattle and Kent.

Neu also got a chance to take three separate trips to China, Indonesia and South Korea this summer, mostly on the district’s dime.

But, in America, you are worth the amount of money that somebody will pay you. It’s kind of similar to the sports world. People are always complaining about how much money professional athletes are making, but a lot of those people are the ones who overpay for tickets and pay $100 for a jersey.

Obviously, the owners of those teams that pay millions for players are making enough money to sign these players.

The Federal Way School Board, whom Mr. Federal Way and the rest of the voters in the city elect, feel the $240,000 salary is justified.

But, the pay raise does raise the eyebrows of Mr. Federal Way. The people in the trenches get left out in the dark. Classified employees, which includes teachers, are the ones doing the hard work day in and day out.

It’s just the American way, however. The people who tell the people how to do their job — they are the ones who make the money. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, have you ever been caught sexting (aka, sending lewd photos of yourself via text message)?

A: No. Mr. Federal Way doesn’t understand the whole sexting craze. And it’s not just “dumb, immature” high school kids who are getting caught up in the sext world. Adults in power positions — like congressmen, firefighters and police officers — are sending lewd photos of themselves.

Shouldn’t they know better?

There is no way in the world that anybody in the world would find a Mr. Federal Way sext attractive. Mrs. Federal Way would still puke a little bit in her mouth if she saw a naked photo of Mr. Federal Way in her inbox. And Mr. Federal Way is fine with that.

There’s really nothing attractive about a naked, hairy man’s body.

Nothing.

As Elaine Benes from “Seinfeld” said, “The male body is strictly utilitarian. It’s for gettin’ around, like a Jeep.”

[10] August 16, 2013 other things. [ LETTERS from page 9] a good job and there is no need for them to leave or be fired? Could it be that replacing all the department heads without thinking just to have an ego trip would destabilize the city?

It galls Roegner that the mayor wants to work with the council for the benefit of the city, rather than stumble around slashing and bashing, trumpeting his superiority. Maybe for you, Mr. Roegner, but not for a reasonable man.

“Agree” is not a dirty word. Sometimes it’s a petty thing that upsets Roegner. He would have “The Mayor” sign all proclamations (after all, he is king) rather than share signatures with the council. Frankly, when volunteers and staff at my agency received a city proclamation, it meant so much more to see not only the mayor’s signature, but those of all the council members.

Roegner says: “The mayor and council haven’t been charged with getting along with each other. They have been charged with implementing a new form of government.” It’s like Roegner can’t separate the two. What does “getting along with each other” have to do with implementing a new form of government?

For him, a new form of government means someone wins and someone loses. It’s the people of Federal Way who would lose if Roegner had his way.

Get over it, Mr. Roegner.

Federal Way has a strong and reasonable mayor.

Transportation budget failed for good reasons The transportation budget in Olympia that failed to pass in “double overtime” failed for good reasons. Did you want to help Oregon pay for the CRC, the misdesigned Columbia River Crossing?

Did you want to send your Washington state taxes to the “out of money” Portland Light Rail Project? No! And yes, Washington state sure does have transportation projects that need funding. The point is that our state’s record on transportation efficiency and accountability is poor and needs to be addressed.

Did you think that the 10.5-cents-per-gallon was going to fund roads? The proposed budget contained lots of your dollars for bike trails, pedestrian paths and

Before we reach further into taxpayers’ pockets, we must confront the reasons that make infrastructure and new construction so expensive. We need to require WSDOT to report to the Legislature on engineering errors to avoid future problems.

I want to thank our State Rep. Linda Kochmar for her leadership, and guts, in successfully concluding this session. The Legislative session resulted in no increase in taxes and no increase in the gas tax. Taxes that had a “sunset” provision were ended. That means no increased water tax, no increased beer tax, Nno additional B&O tax.

No increase in tuition at our community colleges or our state colleges (for the first time in 17 years).

There is $1 billion in additional funding going to our schools.

This session was filled with critical decisions. And yes, our roads still need work. Next session will bring new proposals.

The near miraculous bipartisan Senate set priorities to live within our means and not raise taxes on already struggling families. The regular and “double overtime” sessions tallied 300 votes. Linda Kochmar, our 30th District representative, was there for all 300 votes.

Thank you, Linda. You represented us well.

Local sports courts will get a facelift

By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

A number of basketball and other courts will get a facelift in the near future, after the Parks and Recreation/Human Services/ Public Safety committee approved the go-ahead for a resurfacing project for approximately $49,600.

“The only court we’ve actually done since the city incorporated was Sacajawea (Middle School),” said Steve Ikerd, parks and facilities manager during the committee’s Aug. 13 meeting.

“So all these other courts have not been done. You can tell they’ve been loved to death, they’re really worn, especially the Saghalie basketball court.”

The courts that will be resurfaced include the aforementioned basketball court at Saghalie Middle School, the 312th Street Sports Courts, and the courts at Adelaide Elementary.

Public safety does matter The recent letter from Keith Livingston showed yet another attempt at political spin.

In the letter, he dares to suggest that a mayoral candidate who talks about public safety is “fear mongering.” He apparently wants the readers to forget the fact that public safety is the stated and agreed upon number one priority of our city government. Maybe safety doesn’t matter to him, but it matters to most of us.

And it should, considering the 25 percent increase in burglaries and 14 percent increase in car thefts in Federal Way, in just the past year. And we must not forget that Mayor Skip Priest has repeatedly cut the number of police officers in our city and rejected funding for three more in 2011 without input from the council.

Then, when announcing his re-election, the mayor used old numbers to try to claim that this is a safe city.

He simply assumed no one was paying attention.

Committee member Jeanne Burbidge asked public works director Cary Roe what the life expectancy is for these court surfaces.

“It depends on use,” Roe said. “Saghalie is probably the youngest of the group, and it’s probably the most worn. So, just time on the ground, isn’t the only parameter,” he said. “It’s really a function of use, how heavily it was used. And when you put it on a school site, that has an influence as well, because you have the school use during the day, as well as after school and the weekends…It’s really a variable you have to pay attention to over time, and you have to ask yourself, ‘Does it look good? Is it easy to play on?’”

The city will sign into a purchase agreement with the King County Directors Association and a contract with the FieldTurf/Beynon company, contingent upon council approval in Sept.

By the way, Mr. Livingston, the second priority of government is to provide infrastructure (roads, etc.) so that everything can work — not to spend all the tax dollars on an extravagant $32 million Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) project that a small group of citizens wants to force onto the rest of us.

Remember, it’s not just the cost to build the thing — it’s also the cost to operate it. And those dollars would come out of the same fund that pays for our police department. For those paying the bill, the $32 million PACC would be far and away the most expensive project this city has ever undertaken: twice the cost of our City Hall and 50 percent more that our Community Center, and we would be responsible for the salaries and any cost overruns.

I think Mr. Livingston has shown us very clearly why we need Jim Ferrell as our mayor. Ferrell won’t twist the facts and mislead us about the issues facing this city.

Desna Cup sports and culture festival returns to Federal Way

By ANDY HOBBS

editor@fedwaymirror.com

As one of Federal Way’s biggest sports and cultural festivals, the annual Desna Cup returns this month with soccer, volleyball, food and activities for the whole family.

Now in its sixth year, Desna Cup runs Aug. 16-17 at Saghalie Middle School.

Last year’s event attracted more than 3,000 people.

Russian immigrants Leonid Lisitsyn and Veronika Lisitsyna came to Federal Way 13 years ago. With the city’s ethnic diversity in mind, the couple started Desna Cup as a way to bring cultures together.

They named the event after the Desna River in their native country.

“We’re looking forward to seeing more nations represented,” Leonid Lisitsyn said. “Come and learn about the people that live around you.”

Soccer teams from Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Canada will compete.

Spectators can check out volleyball, tug-of-war and arm-wrestling competi-

Desna Cup runs 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 16 (music concert) and noon to 9 p.m.

Aug. 17 at Saghalie Middle School, 33914 19th Ave. SW. COURTESY PHOTO tions. A new exhibit titled “It’s a Wonderful World” will showcase the food, culture, history and traditions of countries that were once home to immigrants who now reside in the Puget Sound region.

Countries represented at this year’s event include India, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Albania and Montenegro.

Exhibits will display arts, crafts, costumes, souvenirs, photos, videos, ethnic foods, dancing and music.

Desna Cup also received a Tourism Enhancement Grant worth $2,000 from

the City of Federal Way. “This is an amazing group of people who are very appreciative of the United States and what they have here,” said Federal Way City Councilmember Susan Honda. “This festival has been around for six years and gets bigger and better each year.”

Desna Cup 2013 runs 7 to 9 p.m. Aug. 16 (music concert) and noon to 9 p.m.

Aug. 17 at Saghalie Middle School, 33914 19th Ave. SW. Admission is free. Food is available for purchase (cash only). Learn more at www.desnasoccer.org.

Globally-prepared students for an interconnected world recent report, Washington state ranks second in the country in the new economy that is knowledge-based, global, entrepreneurial and innovation-based. Foreign trade is the largest segment of our state’s economy. Throughout the world, Washington companies design, manufacture and sell aircraft and software, and produce and ship agricultural commodities.

How do we make certain our kids will succeed? In addition to teaching the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, Federal Way Public Schools is in the early stages of launching our Global Learning Initiative. This initiative will ensure our students are prepared for a more competitive, diverse and interconnected world than the one we grew up in.

To prepare our students to communicate and collaborate effectively with people around the globe, our teachers, administrators and district leadership must develop, nurture and maintain a global mindset.

To this end, the school board and I have embarked on a series of study missions to other countries to learn firsthand from educators around the world and to develop Rob Neu

SUPERINTENDENT

Not since the Industrial Revolution has a generation of students faced such profound changes in what they are expected to know.

Dramatic shifts in demographics, an aging population, technology innovation, and economic globalization are realities for this and future generations.

To survive and thrive in the 21st century, our students will need to develop skills required of only a diplomat a decade ago. They will need to understand and embrace cultural differences and learn from the experiences of past generations. They must be prepared to speak several world languages and to employ culturally diverse communication skills.

They will need to develop higher level thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills.

Our students will work, live and thrive in foreign countries and work for and with foreign companies. Instead of jobs, their work will consist of projects. They will be asked to solve problems not yet created using technology yet to be invented.

Our students will define success in a global marketplace. According to a

Imagine elementary global language programs and a fourthgrader proficient in Mandarin Chinese having regular Skype sessions with their partner school in Beijing. global relationships. These visits have been eye-opening and transformative, and confirmed we are on the right track. In fact, we have established 20 Global Learning Initiative school partnerships from these trips; the first group of Chinese educators visited our district just this month.

Imagine elementary global language programs and a fourth-grader proficient in Mandarin Chinese having regular Skype sessions with their partner school in Beijing. Or a group of high school students spending the summer learning in Seoul and living with host families who have also sent their students to Federal Way homes.

And imagine our teachers working abroad and bringing these global experiences into our classrooms.

It’s about expanding our students’ horizons beyond our city limits and giving them the tools to interact successfully with cultures and people vastly different than here in Federal Way. Global education propels us beyond mastering specific skill sets we acquire in books or through online learning. It demands we come face to face with international partners; that learning no longer remains isolated. Global education must also include the literature and arts.

It is through the arts the journey of each culture has been recorded.

Across the district, we have begun implementing programs that support our vision. Sunnycrest Elementary is a terrific Spanish speaking immersion school. We have signed memorandums of understanding with Korea, China, Indonesia and Australia agreeing to develop student and teacher exchange programs.

Changing our schools from inward looking to a global perspective will require continual examination of our system. It will touch every aspect of students’ education from inviting foreign students to live and learn in our community, to sending our students and teachers abroad, to accelerating our language requirements.

Students across the world are learning to think and live in an interconnected world. Federal Way Public Schools will ensure our students have the education and experiences to be effective global citizens.

It is my privilege and responsibility to prepare our students for a global marketplace because the world is intolerant of the ill-prepared, but awaits with open arms those who have the skills, work ethic, and commitment to contribute.

Superintendent Rob Neu can be reached at rneu@fwps.org.

... Back to School 2013

Back-to-School reminder to “Drive 20” in school zones On August 26, the City of Federal Way will unveil the “Drive 20” campaign to remind drivers to exercise caution and obey school zone speed limits as thousands of Federal Way students return to school beginning Wednesday, September 4.

Despite greater public awareness, school zone speeding is still a significant problem threatening Federal Way’s schoolchildren. For example, during the first half of 2012, the Panther Lake Elementary school zone saw 9,853 school zone speeding violations - an average of one violation every 2.7 minutes during school zone times.

As part of the Drive 20 campaign, the city has begun upgrading the 23 school zones in Federal Way. Over the next year, the City will invest over $400,000 to install larger speed limit signs, variable speed limit signs at some locations, and upgrades to student crosswalks,

among other features.

Completing upgrades at all locations will take until 2017 and cost an estimated total of $1,071,000. Locations were prioritized based on speed studies, traffic volume, accident history and other factors.

Funds for the project come from traffic safety camera revenues, which are restricted for traffic safety efforts such as this.

In addition to school zone upgrades, the City maintains school zone traffic safety cameras at three of the school zones with high volumes of traffic and ongoing violation problems. Those are on S. 320th at Twin Lakes elementary, First Ave S. at Panther Lake Elementary and 21st Avenue South at Saghalie Middle School.

On average, more than 100 children are killed every year in America while walking to and from school, and about 25,000 are injured. And speed makes a huge difference in

severity of accidents. Research by the AAA reveals that a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 mph is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed as a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 30 mph.

Federal Way Police Department traffic safety reminders: • Pay attention to school zones and follow all traffic signs • Be mindful of children walking and bicycling to school, or waiting for buses • Use extra caution around school buses and be prepared to stop so passengers can load and unload safely • Be aware of extra police officers monitoring school zones • Call 911 if you see dangerous driving More information about Drive 20 and school zone safety can be found at www. cityoffederalway.com/drive20 (after August 26) or by calling the Federal Way Police Department at 253.835.7000.

New online gradebook and student information system Parents of students in Federal Way Public Schools will notice significant changes when checking their children’s online grades and records.

It’s all thanks to the current technology levy approved by voters in 2010, which provided funds for the implementation of a new student information system. The district’s IT staff conducted a thorough search for a replacement student information system. In the end, the district selected Synergy, which includes the new student information system (SIS) and a suite of related products.

Those products include an online gradebook, and parent and student portals, which will be implemented by the district this fall.

Many of the frustrations experienced by staff and parents in the past couple of years were due to the

The new Synergy suite of products provides tight integration between the SIS, gradebook and portals.

Parents will be able to view grades and other student information such as attendance history, and immunization status through a web-based portal called ParentVUE, while students will use StudentVUE. Many features will be the same between the two, but students will not be able to view their siblings’ information.

Kickoff a stress-free school year Morgan Griffith

Center Director, Federal Way Sylvan Learning Center

For many children, the first day of school not only means new teachers and new friends — it can also be a source of anxiety with homework assignments and tests just around the corner.

Starting the school year off on the right foot can help minimize a child’s stress level throughout the year.

Sylvan, the leading provider of tutoring to students of all ages, grades and skill levels, suggests parents help their children prepare for the transition to the next grade level and the new school year by encouraging a structured routine from day one and staying actively involved in their child’s education.

To help children get ready for the new school year and to minimize academic stress, here are some tips and ideas to make the transition from summer to school easier.

Back-to-School Tips • Get back in the routine. Ease transition from lazy summer days to the structure of the school year by re-establishing bedtime, mealtime, reading and homework routines.

Talk with your child about the importance of these routines and how they help ensure that he is not overtired or overly anxious about schoolwork or the next day of school.

• Set education goals. Whether it is striving for an A in reading, handing in all homework on time, or preparing for tests well in advance, setting goals can help set the routine for the new year.

• Develop a relationship with your child’s teacher. Take the time to meet your child’s teachers at the beginning of the school year. Teachers can be the best source for information about your child’s scholastic performance, and they can recommend ways to help your child or resolve any difficulties he or she is having.

• Homework routine and place. Designate a specific time and place for homework time and help your child discover a regular, quiet place where he can study.

Make sure that the area is free from potential distractions and that study tools are at your child’s fingertips to keep him focused on homework and studying.

• Stay on schedule. Your child should keep a schedule of all classes, assignments and key dates, such as project deadlines and test dates. As part of that schedule, your child should include specific times for studying, projects and extracurricular activities. The more thorough the schedule, the more efficient your child will be.

• Organization minimizes late nights completing homework assignments, cramming for tests at the last minute, and can ultimately reduce student anxiety about school. Em[ more STRESS-FREE, p. 18 ]

... Back to School 2013 [ STRESS-FREE, from p. 17 ] phasize organization. For some students, having color-coded binders for each subject helps them stay on track throughout the school year. Keeping notes organized helps test preparation later in the year, so work with your child to determine the best method.

• Encourage learning at home. Promoting learning outside of the classroom helps children perform better in school. To nurture reading skills, spend at least one hour per week — 10 to 15 minutes a day — reading with your child. To enhance math proficiency, try allowing your child to help plan the next family trip and encourage him to compute miles, cost of gas, expenses for food, hotel and entertainment.

Transition Year Back-to-School Tips (children starting kindergarten, first grade, middle school or high school): • Visit the school. If your child is changing schools with the new year, make a special trip together to visit the school before the first day of classes. Checking out the new classroom and the new teacher before school starts will help ease feelings of anxiety and help get your child into his or academic routine. If there is time, review the school map and walk around the school together so he is familiar with his new schedule.

• Discuss changes in routine. Talk with your child about how the routine for a new school may differ from the previous year.

It can be difficult for children to adjust

to changes in schedules and workloads.

Explain how the schedule may differ from last year. Will there be more homework assignments? Does your child have to wake up earlier? Will your child have more than one teacher this year?

• Provide extra support. Talk with your child about his fears regarding school and maintain an open dialogue throughout the year. Discuss what subjects he’s anticipating and any areas he finds particularly challenging. Don’t forget to talk about homework and tests.

• Transition into kindergarten. As a parent, you are your child’s first teacher. The skills that he learns from you — how to get along with others, follow directions and

listen to directions — will help him start the year off right.

• Transition into middle school and high school. Organization becomes even more important in middle school and high school when your child must keep track of multiple subjects, homework, teachers, classrooms and books. You can help him to reduce stress by giving him a calendar/planner to help him organize these new items and encouraging him to build good study habits.

August 16, 2013 [25]

www.federalwaymirror.com [ PACC from page 1] Much of the discussion during the Aug. 6 meeting centered on these concerns.

The affirmative voters and Mayor Skip Priest argued that the only thing being voted on was to move forward on the application process for the Section 108 program.

“No decision is being made tonight, in terms of any agreement, and the specifics of the proposal would be presented to the council (at a later date),” Priest said.

“Issues...raised, in terms of if it’s a loan, and whatever risk there is to the city, and the issue of CDBG being used to repay that loan, and other issues, would be provided to specificity at that time” after the application has been approved and projects could be considered.

Community and Economic Development director Patrick Doherty tried to allay some of the fears regarding approval of the application process.

“To be super, super clear, if the application is approved to move forward,

(it is a) request that HUD approve our ability to create this fund,” he said. “And then whatever project under that fund would be the second step. Whether that be the PACC or (an economic revitalization project in) Twin Lakes, or another idea in the city center we currently don’t have.”

Honda said she felt like approving Federal Way’s application for the Section 108 program was the city council getting ahead of itself.

“We haven’t approved this project yet, we haven’t gone over the financing for the project yet,” she said.

“I’m just really concerned this is a step that we’re not ready to take at this time.”

Ferrell said he saw the issue as though the city were applying for a credit card, and, like Honda, he doesn’t feel it’s a step that needs to be made at this time.

“This sort of feels like, we know we’re not putting it on the credit card, but we’re just applying for the credit card right now,” he said. “And we’re getting the credit card ready. It seems like we’re setting up, for

ourselves, the ability for debt capacity and then debt maintenance…I do think this is in preparation for taking that credit card out at some point and putting it on the counter, and putting $3 million on it. If you take the credit card out and use the entire $3 million, and use it toward that project, we would be on the hook, and so I am concerned about that, and I’m not convinced we need to open this credit account.”

Maloney said she felt, despite the counterarguments presented, that applying for the Section 108 program, and the funds it would bring, is all aimed at providing funding for the PACC. “I do have a big concern, as I’ve mentioned in the past…about going into debt, any amount of debt, for the Performing Arts and Conference Center,” she said. “And this does seem as if it could be positioned to be used for that. If we could disassociate that project (the PACC) from this, I would be happy to vote for it in terms of other projects, but in terms of debt for the

Councilmember Dini Duclos responded to Maloney, pointing out that the Section 108 program is unique, to say the least, in terms of borrowing and who would have to take on the debt load.

“We are voting to set up a program. It is not necessarily designated for the PACC, it can be made for other operations,” she said. “And it is paid back from money that comes from the govern-

ment. It’s not coming out of our operating budget. And I doubt that HUD would get away with eliminating these dollars. Too many states, too many cities, too many governments, too many non-profits, for that matter, get funding through this source. Right now, we’re just making the application. We’re not committing anything.”

Councilmember Jeanne Burbidge echoed Duclos’ sentiments, saying the time is right for the city to move

on this application process.

“I believe this program offers us a wonderful opportunity…and we are not voting on any particular project tonight,” she said.

“We will have a full opportunity in the future to decide any particular project that we would want to use this program for. I don’t want to see us shoot ourselves in the foot by not taking advantage of this program that makes so much sense for our city and our city’s needs.”

Kent boy dies after dirt bike crash at Pacific Raceways Stancil was speeding down a straightaway during a practice run on the motocross track at Pacific Raceways on Aug. 7 when the 15-year-old Kent boy went over a small bump, lost control and fell, according to racetrack officials.

A 19-year-old biker right behind Stancil had nowhere else to go, a track official said, and ran over the boy.

On-site medical personnel performed CPR before Stancil was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he suc-

His name was Chase – fitting for a fun-loving, adventurous boy who enjoyed racing.

Aboard a powerful, swift motorcycle, Chase Stancil was comfortable and competitive. He challenged many trails, honed his skills and eventually found his way to the local dirt track.

He raced against kids his own age, even those older, more experienced behind the handlebars.

cumbed to injuries.

Pacific Raceways observed a moment of silence for Stancil last Friday prior to the motocross races.

“Our entire Pacific Raceways’ staff and volunteers are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our racing community and our thoughts and prayers are with his family,” said Jason Fiorito, Pacific Raceways president, in a statement on the track’s website.

“We remain committed to keeping this sport as safe as possible.”

Also on the same night, a large turnout of family, friends and supporters assembled for a candlelight vigil on a football field at Kentridge High School.

They came to shed tears, exchange hugs and share stories about a boy who left an impression on those he touched.

Stancil would have been a sophomore at Kentridge.

He was a good friend, student and an athlete who was looking forward to putting on the football pads to begin practice this month.

His sudden loss stunned friends.

“He was a really good guy, funny. He was always joking around with some-

one,” said Emmitt Medina, who rode dirt bikes with Stancil. “It’s so scary because it could have been me. ... You never think it’s going to happen to someone you’re close with.”

Surrounded by friends, Chad Stancil stood numb, emotionally drained. He had difficulty describing his younger brother.

“He was my best friend.

We were so close,” said Chad Stancil, who will be a senior at Kentridge. “He died doing what he loved to do – riding his bike.”

Ryan Simpson – Chase Stancil’s eighth-grade teacher at Northwood Middle School – remembers a courageous, thoughtful, enthusiastic boy who looked to do the right thing.

When a handgun was found at the school, Chase Stancil reported it to the front office.

“It was that foresight, the ability to do the right thing to really stand up for others and make sure the people were safe and protected,” Simpson said.

His former student’s passing is the latest in a string of recent deaths of family members and a close friend for Simpson. Nonetheless, he spoke in front

[ FIRE from page 1] On Aug. 6, the board of commissioners voted 4-1 to retain law firm Patterson, Buchanan, Fobes and Leitch “to represent Brandon Church in his official capacity as a district firefighter in the pending Department of Health investigation.”

SKFR will pay for the legal representation although no specific dollar amount has been revealed or allotted.

Commissioner Mark Freitas was the dissenting vote. Freitas said firefighters should be personally responsible for defending their own emergency medical technician (EMT) licenses, which are required as a condition of employment, just like a driver’s license.

“I don’t think the public should be paying for that,” Freitas told The Mirror. “I didn’t think it was a wise use of taxpayer dollars.”

The investigation could take up to six months. Assistant Fire Chief Ed Plumlee, who is Church’s supervisor, said SKFR’s progressive discipline procedures have effectively improved Church’s behavior and therefore render the investigation unnecessary.

As part of his discipline, Church was suspended for a shift without pay. He also completed the terms of his disciplinary probation, which included extensive study of SKFR’s bylaws and monthly evaluations.

“I think it will validate the department’s actions,” Plumlee said of the

On Aug. 9, family and friends paid tribute to the late Chase Stancil with a vigil. Flowers and momentos are placed by one of Stancil’s motorcycles. MARk KLAAS, Kent Reporter of the crowd at the vigil, fighting back tears while describing a boy who wasn’t afraid to help others.

“He was one of a couple of students whose acts really motivated me to want to continue teach-

investigation. “If the Department of Health thought it was a serious offense, they would have pulled (Church) off the job.”

Ryan Herrera, president of IAFF Local 2024, said the union is looking at bringing in its labor attorney to work jointly with SKFR’s attorney.

“We believe we dealt with the matter locally and appropriately,” Herrera said. “We took it very seriously.”

Board chairman Bill Gates said this is the first Department of Health investigation of a firefighter during the fire chief ’s 37 years on the job.

In addition to the discipline for misconduct in 2012, Brandon Church was reprimanded in 2009 for lying to a supervisor and cheating on an exam, and was reprimanded twice in 2010 for lying and insubordination.

Gates said that even if Church were not the fire chief ’s son, he would still be employed despite past discipline.

“Brandon Church did not receive special treatment in no way, shape or form,” Gates told The Mirror, regarding the most recent disciplinary action. “We believe everything was done right by the books and so forth. … The matter was handled swiftly and promptly.”

SKFR has no specific policy related to nepotism, which is defined as favoritism on the job based on kinship. According to Gates and Plumlee, Chief Al Church has never supervised his son.

“Al is so far up the chain of com-

ing,” Simpson said. Visible in Simpson’s classroom is a Dr. Seuss quote: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

“He would want us to look back on the good times,” Simpson said.

mand that Brandon is never going to end up working for Al,” Gates said. “Al will be long retired before Brandon even becomes assistant chief. … Al is simply not in the loop for discipline of Brandon.”

Plumlee said there are two other father-son pairs of employees in SKFR. As per district policy, he said, the fathers have no direct supervision over their sons.

According to the Municipal Research and Services Center of Washington, state law does not address nepotism, but a number of municipalities address rules for employment of “immediate family” in some degree.

FYI: Candidates For the 2013 election, there is one contested race for South King Fire and Rescue board of commissioners.

Longtime incumbent Bill Gates will seek re-election to position 1 against challenger Jerry Galland, a resident of unincorporated King County and an outspoken critic of the fire district.

Gates was first elected in 2001 and re-elected in 2007. He has served as board chairman the past four years.

In 2011, Galland ran for the board of commissioners against James Fossos and lost. Galland regularly attends board meetings. He started a blog (southkingfire.net) to criticize fire district procedures and finances.

The general election is Nov. 5.

Shellfish warning from county health officials From staff reports

Taking children to the FW library is ‘cool’

By Joan Tornow, Ph.D.

A saltwater bacteria has sickened more than twice the number of people in King County this summer than typically is reported during this period – leading health officials to warn of the dangers of eating raw or undercooked shellfish.

During July, there were 13 confirmed or probable cases of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection in King County, compared to an average of four reported in that month in recent years.

Since the beginning of August, an additional eight cases have been confirmed, while typically King County would see six for the entire month.

“This is probably the tip of the iceberg.

For every case that is reported, an estimated 142 additional cases go unreported,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin of Public Health–Seattle & King County.

People typically get vibriosis from eating raw or undercooked shellfish, particularly oysters, that have Vibrio bacteria in them.

Those with pre-existing medical conditions or who take antacids regularly are at higher risk for illness from Vibrio infection. Cooking shellfish until the shells just open is not enough to kill Vibrio bacteria. Shellfish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for at least 15 seconds.

Symptoms of Vibrio infection can include moderate to severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills and headache. Vibrio bacteria also can cause a skin infection when open wounds are exposed to warm seawater.

Vibrio bacteria occur naturally in marine waters, and they grow more rapidly during the warm months. Vibrio levels in shellfish increase during the summer, and infections in humans normally peak in late summer.

Once water temperatures begin to cool in October, the bacteria decline.

The worst outbreak in recent years came in 2006, when Washington had 80 lab-confirmed Vibrio cases and King County had 36 confirmed cases. In 2012, King County had 26 cases of vibriosis for the entire year; so far in 2013, 22 confirmed or probable cases have already been reported.

Special to The Mirror

Not only is the Federal Way Regional Library a cool and pleasant place to spend some time during summer days, but it’s also a great place to introduce the very young to reading — and to keep school children up-to-speed on their reading skills.

Here are a few tips: • Help your child select “just right” books. Have your child read a page of a book. If he or she misses more than five words on a page, the book is too hard. A “just right” book is one the child can enjoy because most of the words are familiar. Being challenged by a few unfamiliar words is fine, but summer reading needn’t be a chore. And, readers of all ages enjoy an occasional “easy” book that can be read “like a breeze,” thus boosting confidence.

• Select books to read aloud to children. Children love being read aloud to, and this cultivates a love of books. Also, when children listen to a book being read, they are introduced to new vocabulary.

So, a healthy reading “diet” includes books that the child reads independently as well as books read aloud by a caring adult, friend, or sibling. Sharing books together as a family is a wonderful way to enjoy quality time.

• Talk to children about books. Invite children to tell you about the books they’ve read. Instead of asking “yes” or “no” questions, use open-ended questions such as, “Can you tell me about that book?” or “What do you like about that book?”

This is a great way to show how much we respect them as readers and thinkers.

system of the season with substantial clouds and some light precipitation reaches the Northwest coast. And it is happening right now. This system is rapidly falling apart and most of you won’t see much more than a few sprinkles and lots of clouds. But it is serves as our first warning of the upcoming fall.

Don’t get too depressed by this. Summer is not over and we often have glorious Septembers. But a change in the Northern Hemisphere’s weather pattern is now becoming evident, and we are leaving the optimal period of warmth and dryness that is so dominant the last week of July and the first week of August.

by Nilsen’s brother, Barry, and wife, Donna. The bar and grill off of 21st Avenue Southwest is a packed house on Sundays when the Seahawks play. The place has 15 high-definition televisions and actually raises a 12th-man flag before every Seattle game.

But that wasn’t enough for

Nilsen. He wanted to give Seahawks fans who made their way to Jersey’s Sports Bar a little more team pride.

So he came up with the idea of giving Seattle fans a beer that they could drink while watching their team play. That’s when 12 Man Pale Ale came to fruition.

“I got the idea for having something in the bar to have for a fan of the Seahawks,” Nilsen said. “We came up with this crazy idea and ran with it.”

The name for the beer comes from the name for the Seahawks’ fans. The franchise retired the

number 12 in 1984 and currently has the tradition of a former player, coach, fan or Seattle dignitary raising the 12th-man flag [ more seahawks page 32 ]

An overflow field of 13 runners was entered Wednesday for Sunday’s $200,000 Longacres Mile (Grade 3) for 3-year-olds and up at the Emerald Downs horse racing track in Auburn.

Until You won a shake with Assessment – both geldings were assigned 114 pounds – for the 12th and final spot in the 78th renewal of the Northwest’s most prestigious race The Longacres Mile, which is expected to begin around 5:45 p.m., was first run in 1935 at the since torn-down Longacres Racetrack in Renton. After Longacres was closed in 1992, the Mile was run for three years at Yakima Meadows before returning to Western Washington in 1996 with the opening of Emerald Downs.

Eastern invader Politcallycorrect drew the No. 3 post-position and was installed as the 7-to-2 morning line favorite by line maker Rob Rao. The evenly matched field includes runners from virtually all points in North America-East, Midwest, California, Canada and Washington.

Herbie D, impressive winner of the July 21 Mt. Rainier Handicap, drew the No. 10 post-position and is the 4-to-1 second choice. Herbie D, a 5-year-old B.C.-bred who bids to become the second straight Canadian horse to win The Mile, is 9-1-1 in 12 lifetime starts for trainer Robert Gilker. [ more longacres page 32 ]

Wrestling: Beamer’s Carpio finishes second at Pan Americans Junior-to-be won state championship last season with an undefeated record

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Arian Carpio made the most of her trip to Medellin, Colombia, last weekend. The Todd Beamer High School juniorto-be brought home a silver medal from the prestigious 2013 FILA Cadet Pan American Wrestling Championships on Saturday.

Carpio finished second in the 52-kilogram (114.6 lbs) division for 15- to 17-year-olds.

The Pan American Championships featured wrestlers from North, Central and South America. The countries represented were the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.

Carpio lost the gold-medal match to Colombia’s Andrea Gonzales after she won her first three matches. Carpio pinned Mexico’s Brenda Fernandez in the opening round and won in come-from-behind fashion in the quarterfinals over Peru’s Ana Cespedez Lugo, 4-2.

Carpio was trailing 2-0 in the final round before throwing Lugo to her back in the last 30 seconds. The three-point throw and one back-exposure

point gave Carpio the win. She then pinned Brazil’s Silva T. Lopes Da in the semifinals.

Carpio’s U.S. team edged host Colombia by three points to win the team title.

Four American women won gold, pacing the USA to 82 team points, while Colombia finished with 79 and Venezuela finished in third with 77.

Carpio has had a nearly impeccable two-year career on the Beamer girls wrestling team. Her only loss with the Titans came in the 2012 championship match at the Mat Classic state championships inside the Tacoma Dome as a freshman.

But Carpio got some redemption in February when [ more carpio page 32 ]

Nilsen moved to the Federal Way area nine years ago from New Jersey with his wife. That’s when he became a Seahawks fan and opened Jersey’s.

“The fanbase is just phenomenal,” Nilsen said. “It’s so huge. I just fell in love with the Seahawks.”

Nilsen and 12 Man Pale Ale got a huge boost when former Seahawks kicker Norm Johnson got involved in the project. Nilsen met Johnson at a charity function for the victims of Hurricane Sandy at Jersey’s. The October 2012 storm basically wiped out the town of Keyport, N.J., where Nilsen grew up.

Nilsen and Johnson trademarked the name, 12 Man Pale Ale, and have the beer brewed at a local brewery. According to the Facebook page for the beer, it “leaves a fresh taste in your mouth and doesn’t fill you up, but rather refreshes you with every swallow.”

“The next thing I know is other bars want to buy it,” Nilsen said. “Norm has

Beamer’s Arian Carpio finished unbeaten and won the Class 4A title during the winter for the Titans. file photo

been a big asset and a help in selling the brand. I leave the beer stuff in the hands of Norm. He is kind of a beer connoisseur.”

The 12 Man Pale Ale is currently only served at Jersey’s, but that is set to change Saturday. Nilsen and Johnson are hosting a kickoff at the Hawks Nest Sports Bar and Grill in Seattle on Saturday before the Seahawks host the Denver Broncos in preseason action. They are hoping to distribute 12 Man Pale Ale to bars across the state in the future.

Nilsen has not only taken his love for the Seahawks into the beer business, but he’s more well-known as being Santa Claus. For the past several years, Nilsen, who sports a long white beard, has worked as a professional Santa. And in the recent past, he has played Santa at CenturyLink Field, throwing out candy canes and posing for photos.

Instead of the normal red suit, Nilsen sports a blue suede getup.

“They kind of let me do what I want to do,” Nilsen

said of the Seahawks. “It’s just a blast.”

Nilsen has been featured on several NFL pre-game shows and “Prime Time” Deion Sanders even asked for a photo.

Nilsen is hoping to use some of the proceeds from the sale of the beer to help charities in the area. Jersey’s is a big proponent of doing benefits and donating money to disabled veterans and the Fisher House charities.

Fisher House Foundation is best known for the network of comfort homes built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers nationwide and in Europe. Fisher Houses are beautiful homes, donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs.

These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time - during the hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease.

The Fisher House has locations in Seattle and at Fort Lewis.

“It’s really a gateway for doing charity work,” Nilsen said.

He still holds Mariners single-season records for home runs (56 in two different years), RBIs (147) and extrabase hits (93).

“I am truly honored and humbled to be associated with these people here,” Griffey said during his speech that lasted longer than double the scheduled 10 minutes. “And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wasn’t going to speak this long, because I never prepare for anything.

I don’t have a speech. I just speak from the heart. I think that’s the most important thing.

SIDELINES

It sucks getting old.

I already realized that it was happening too fast after I turned 40 earlier this year.

But this is getting ridiculous.

Saturday night, Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Seattle Mariners’ Hall of Fame before their game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This is the same guy that I “grew up” watching during the 1990s in the Puget Sound region. Griffey was the definition of sports in Seattle, plus he was known then as “The Kid.” Pretty amazing that Griffey has now been retired from baseball for over two years.

There has never been another athlete in the history of professional sports in the city that could be called the best in the world. During the 1990s, he was, handsdown, the best all-around player in Major League Baseball.

Griffey spent 13 of his 22 years in the Majors with the Mariners and currently is working with the team as a special consultant. He ranks near the top of every

thing special. I just want to say thank you.”

He joins Alvin Davis (1997), Dave Niehaus (2000), Jay Buhner (2004), Edgar Martinez (2007), Randy Johnson (2012) and Dan Wilson (2012) in the Mariners Hall. All five former players were in attendance at Saturday’s pregame ceremony, along with Marilyn Niehaus, the widow of the Mariners’ Hall-of-Fame broadcaster.

In his Major League career, which also included stints with the Reds and White Sox, Griffey earned 13 All-Star selections, 10 Gold Glove Awards, seven Silver Slugger Awards and four American League home run titles.

He stands sixth on MLB’s all-time home run list with 630 and was the 1997 American League MVP. Griffey will eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 and is a surefire first-ballot inductee after a 22-year-career in Seattle, Cincinnati and Chicago. But Seattle was where, in his own words, “I became a man.”

In other Seattle sports news: The Seattle Seahawks

Ken Griffey Jr., who is being mobbed after scoring the winning run in the 1995 Division Series win over the New York Yankees, was inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame Saturday night. courtesy photo kicked off their season Thursday night with a win over the San Diego Chargers in an exhibition game.

And I, like everybody else, am hoping it was the start of a historic season.

There has never been a more anticipated season in the history of the Seattle Seahawks. Even before the 2004 season, which ended with the Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers,

there wasn’t this type of hype surrounding the team.

Las Vegas has the Seahawks as the third betting favorite to win Super Bowl XLVIII. And we all know that Vegas oddsmakers know a lot more than any football fan. Only the San Francisco 49ers (6/1) and Denver Broncos (13/2) have better odds than the Seahawks (8/1).

Coming off four con-

secutive seasons with a sub.500 record, the Seahawks surprised many people in the NFL last year when they went 11-5 and made the playoffs.

But, on the other hand, they won’t be sneaking up on anybody this season.

With all the Super Bowl talk, the Seahawks are going to have a fight on their hands every single week they take the field.

• Benson Henderson hopes revenge is sweet.

The Decatur High School graduate will get a chance to avenge his only professional mixed-martial arts (MMA) loss Aug. 31 when he defends his UFC lightweight title against Anthony “Showtime” Pettis.

The fight will be the main event at UFC 164 inside the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, which happens to be Pettis’ hometown. Henderson was supposed to defend his lightweight championship against TJ Grant in Milwaukee, but Grant was forced to withdraw Friday after suffering a concussion during a training session.

The Henderson-Pettis fight will be a rematch of their classic World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) title showdown in December 2010. Pettis won that fight by unanimous decision to take the belt from Henderson.

www.federalwaymirror.com

The loss was the low point of Henderson’s stellar MMA career. Following the fight, Henderson sat on a stage in front of reporters inside the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Ariz., weeping.

The heart-breaking defeat, which included a highlight-reel kick by Pettis and ended a 10-fight winning streak, looked like it would derail Henderson’s promising career.

But fast forward two and a half years and things couldn’t be better for Henderson. After moving into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) following the Pettis loss, Henderson’s career is back on the fast track.

Henderson won the UFC 155-pound title in February 2012 by beating Frankie Edgar in Japan. Since then, he has defended his belt three times with wins over Edgar in a rematch, Nate Diaz and Gilbert Melendez.

Since joining the UFC, Henderson is a perfect 7-0 and 19-2 overall.

Pettis was scheduled to face featherweight champion Jose Aldo in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 3, but had to pull out of the bout with a knee injury. But his knee began healing faster than expected and Pettis asked UFC officials to let him

Pettis (16-2) has won three fights in a row since losing to Clay Guida in his first fight in the UFC. He reclaimed the No. 1 contender position with a firstround knockout of Donald Cerrone on Jan. 26.

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.

“He’s the champion, he better be (excited). He’s the guy that everybody wants, he’s the No. 1 guy in the lightweight division. I don’t see him being too worried about it. I’m sure he’s confident, he’s on a winning streak, but I know that has to be in his head,” Pettis stated. “This is the last guy that beat him in my hometown. He’s either seeking revenge, or he’s worried; I don’t know which one it is.”

Peyton Miller, who plays for the FWFC Fireballs, attempts to control the ball during the girls’ portion of the annual Blast Off Tournament in Federal Way. The two-week tournament is 25 years old. casey olson, The

Letters: Family keeps Blast Off Tournament alive in FWay The annual Blast Off Soccer Tournaments got underway Aug. 2 around Federal Way with the girls’ portion of the tournament.

Over 150 teams made their way to Federal Way over the past two weekends.

The second weekend of the Federal Way Blast Off will be held on Aug. 9-11.

This is the boys weekend and the 25th year of the tournament that is held by the Federal Way Football Club. The story is partly in the youth soccer, but there is an equally compelling story in the dedication shown by a family to develop, grow, and run this event. Here are a number of facts: 1. Perry and Sharon Woodford have directed this tournament for the past 15 years. Both of these individuals have worked in a wide range of leadership positions for Federal Way youth soccer for as many years.

2. The tournament planning begins at the end of one tournament and begins with assessing what works and what doesn’t, and then methodically determines ways of making the next year’s tournament better.

3. The Woodfords likely have raised about half a million dollars over the 15

years for FWFC. They have more than doubled the number of teams participating in this tournament from 60 in 1990 to 149 in 2013.

4. This tournament does not just affect soccer players (the money is used for scholarships and club ops), but has a multiplier effect on the local economy in hotel stays and other businesses such as restaurants and stores.

5. Keep in mind the Woodfords have done this entirely on a voluntary basis.

6. Their daughter, Deserae, has long given up soccer, but the Woodfords have continued to extensively volunteer in a wide range of capacities for youth soccer. Perry has a board position for the state.

Sharon has also volunteered hundreds (possibly thousands) of hours in scheduling and logistics for the soccer club.

7. It’s important to note that the Woodfords don’t just “direct” activities, they “do.” They have handled all central activities related to getting teams registered and scheduled. Sharon has been remarkably successful in painstakingly researching the true capabilities of teams to make sure that true competition will occur.

Perry is legendary for driving his oversized pickup hauling equipment between his home, storage areas and fields.

8. Their leadership in this event and the club

has strong support from a core of volunteers who have worked this event with them in past and recent years such as George Pfeiffer, Jammie Hair, Sandy Bjork and Robert Lewis.

9. This year has been an especially poignant one for the Woodfords. As they were directing the tournament last weekend, they got word that their daughter had received a number of first place awards in horseback riding. One could hear Sharon rightfully wishing she could have been there.

10. The Woodfords have contributed their time so generously to the game. I always thought Perry has used the phrase “for the good of the game” too often when giving a basis for what we do. But in watching how Sharon and Perry have given the time to the game, I believe they mean to say “for the good of the kids” because that’s who benefits from these efforts.

11. Finally, these folks have given more than their share of themselves. Many of our volunteers on the boards will talk about the costs on personal lives and fortune that this work takes. Missed vacations, late dinners, anxiety from irate parents and impacts on health. The Woodfords have given everything to the game, and Federal Way should celebrate them.
