Beamer students sign ‘get well’ banner for teen who got stomped in the head

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Federal Way resident Connor Bone, 15, was skateboarding with two friends Saturday night near an overpass in Auburn when he saw what looked like a drunk man abusing a pregnant woman.

According to Bone, the man was in a heated argument with a pregnant

woman and had raised his hand as if threatening to strike her. Bone said he rode over to the woman on his skateboard and asked if she was OK. The man then asked Bone if he had a problem, and the last thing he remembers is turning around to walk away. That’s when the man clocked Bone in the head, then stomped on his head and body multiple times.

Bone’s friends, who were also as-

saulted, said the man and woman fled the scene in a car.

Bone was transported to Auburn Regional Medical Center. The ordeal left him with a concussion, a swollen eye, a busted lip and multiple bruises.

“I thought I was doing something right,” he said about checking on the woman’s safety. “I thought she was in trouble. She said she was fine.” [ more ASSAULT, page 31 ]

Grocery workers avoid strike Courtesy of the Kent Reporter

Grocery workers reached a tentative agreement Monday in contract negotiations with four major chains, just two hours before a scheduled strike. UFCW 21 announced the agreement Monday on its Facebook page. About 30,000 workers in King, Pierce, Kitsap and Snohomish counties are represented by unions UFCW 21, UFCW 367 and Teamsters 38.

“This tentative agreement has been

unanimously recommended by the union member bargaining team,” the statement said. “Details will not to be released until after union members themselves have had the opportunity to review the tentative agreement and vote on it.”

Workers voted in September to go on strike if a settlement could not be reached.

Unions gave 72-hour notice last Friday to the stores to expect a walkout. Stores had posted help wanted posters to hire replacement workers in case of a strike.

The Mirror hosted an election forum Oct. 23, featuring candidates for Federal Way School Board.

Candidates fielded questions from the audience.

The forum was moderated

by Dr. T.M. Sell of Highline Community College.

There are two contested school board races in the general election: • Position 1: Ed Barney (incumbent) vs. Geoffery McAnalloy. Barney was first elected to the board in 2001, while this is McAnalloy’s first candidacy for public office. Barney works as a job trainer for Deseret Industries. McAnalloy works as a post sales engineer for CenturyLink.

• Position 4: Carol Gregory vs. Medgar Wells.

Both are running for the seat vacated by Angela Griffin. In the Aug. 6 primary election, Gregory advanced to the general election with 44.2 percent of the vote, while Wells finished second with 38.3 percent. Gregory is director of Burst for Prosperity, a non-profit organization that helps low-income families become self-sufficient.

Wells is principal of Overcomer Academy, a private school on Military Road in Auburn.

School board candidates discussed their educational philosophies and addressed

Q: How will you hold the district accountable for failing to start a working grading system?

• Wells: That’s his top priority. Even as an educator, he found the district’s non-traditional grading system confusing. Parents must be able to understand the grading system.

• Gregory: Any system that parents can’t understand is wrong. The board must hold the superintendent accountable for making sure the system works.

An 18-year-old male died of multiple gunshot wounds Oct. 17 in Federal Way. The King County Medical Examiner identified the victim as Deshawn Boykin. The death was ruled a homicide.

Three adult suspects — one female and two males — were served with search warrants and apprehended Oct. 18 in Tacoma with the assistance of the Valley SWAT Team. The suspects were booked into King County Jail for investigation of murder, police said.

About 6:15 p.m. Oct. 18, Federal Way police and SWAT team officers confronted a fourth suspect near the 1400 block of South 320th Street.

The suspect, a white 35-year-old male from the Renton area, was shot by police while attempting to flee, according to police.

The suspect was taken into

custody and transported to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. No officers or citizens were injured in the incident.

The hunt for suspects began at 8:43 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17. Federal Way police were called to the area of 31500 1st Avenue South, near the Greystone Meadows Apartments, based on reports of gunshots. Officers arrived on the scene, and at first were unable to locate a disturbance or crime, according to police.

About 10 minutes later, police were notified that the 18-year-old male victim with gunshot wounds had been dropped off at St. Francis Hospital.

Police interviewed the victim’s brother, who had transported the victim to the hospital. Detectives worked through the night to locate the crime scene, interview witnesses, collect evidence and determine suspects, according to police. The Valley Investigative Team is conducting an investigation of last Friday’s officer-involved shooting.

One officer from Federal Way and one officer from Renton have been placed on paid administrative leave, based on standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.

This week’s…

Police Blotter Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Spread eagle at Safeway: At 8:14 a.m. Oct. 17 at 1207 S. 320th St., Safeway staff reported that a woman entered the store, ate food, then stripped naked. An officer arrived to find the woman wearing only an oversized shirt.

As soon as the officer stopped his car, the woman ran from the front of the store and jumped on the hood of the patrol car — naked and “spread eagle” on her stomach, according to the report. When the officer opened the door to the backseat, she got off the hood, entered the backseat of the patrol car and began masturbating. The woman was clearly intoxicated and uncommunicative, according to the report. She was arrested and involuntarily committed.

• Husband videotapes wife: At 11:03 a.m. Oct. 18 in the 1300 block of SW Campus Drive, police were called to a domestic dispute between a husband and wife. The wife was gone prior to the officer’s arrival. According to the report, the husband captured the argument on video, documenting how enraged his wife was. When asked what the argument was about, the husband stated, “she’s crazy.” The video showed the wife using her phone to videotape the husband,

and she is seen tapping his face with her phone. No injuries or arrests were reported.

• Mail theft: At 8:09 a.m. Oct. 18 at 30823 18th Ave. S., it was reported that an unknown culprit forced entry into the mailboxes at the Brookhaven Apartments and gained access to five mailboxes.

According to the report, the culprit used a pry tool to bend and disable the locking mechanism, then removed items from the mailboxes.

Mail was found scattered along the street, and was returned to residents prior to police arrival, according to the report. The amount of stolen/lost mail was unknown.

• Attempted kidnapping: At 1:39 p.m. Oct. 20 at 33645 20th Ave. S., it was reported that an unidentified Hispanic male attempted to kidnap a child at daycare between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. The report did not mention any suspects or arrests.

• Domestic dispute: At 1:56 a.m. Oct. 20 in the 1700 block of SW 311th Street, police responded to a domestic dispute. A man had broken a woman’s eyeglasses and pushed her to the ground. The woman refused to cooperate and denied being assaulted or injured, police said. The man had left the scene on foot before police arrived.

No arrests were made.

• Woman in the road: At 1:58 a.m. Oct. 20 in the 29200 block of Military Road S., an intoxicated woman was found laying in the road. She vomited. She was unable to tell police and fire personnel where she came from, or how she got there. She grabbed at police and fire personnel when not restrained, the report said. She was unable to answer questions, and was involuntarily committed.

• Intoxicated bus passenger: At 9:43 a.m. Oct. 20 in the 31600 block of 23rd Avenue South, an officer arrived to find a man asleep on the pavement. The man could not stand on his own, and his speech was slurred. According to the report, the officer could not understand what the man was trying to say, other than “I’m f---ed up.” The man had also urinated on himself. According to the report, a security guard assisted the man off a bus because he was unable to walk off the bus himself. The man was involuntarily committed.

• Robbery and heroin: At 12:43 p.m. Oct. 20 in the 30600 block of 1st Place South, a victim called 911 to report a robbery with a handgun by a known person. Upon police arrival, the victim told an incomplete account of the robbery several times. According to the report, the victim admitted he met with the suspect to purchase $100 worth of heroin. The suspect pulled out a handgun and demanded the victim’s cash. The victim told police he handed over $100, but kept $25, then left the scene. The report said the victim did not wish to pursue charges.

• Sick coyote: At 4:46 p.m. Oct. 19 in the 400 block of South 305th Street, an officer responded to a report of a sick and mangy coyote wandering the neighborhood. The coyote was identified by animal control as being terminally sick and hazardous to the community. The coyote was visibly sick, its fur was falling off, and it showed no signs of fear toward humans, according to the report. After receiving supervisor approval and finding a clear backstop, the officer shot the coyote with his patrol rifle.

Federal Way School board pos. 4: Medgar Wells Both candidates in this race would serve Federal Way students well. Medgar Wells gets the nod because of his lifetime of hands-on experience in schools as a teacher, principal and administrator.

Wells presents an open-minded view of education and seems willing to consider anything that helps children succeed. One of his priorities is reaching out to young students who are struggling. Early learning has been identified as a key component to helping young students succeed in Federal Way. As a principal, he interacts with today’s youth daily.

South King Fire and Rescue commissioner: Bill Gates Bill Gates is the stronger candidate because he is better suited to address the financial obligations of the fire district. That is the board’s priority.

Gates also gets the edge for his past professional experience in the finance field. His opponent, Jerry Galland, raises valid questions about the board’s actions, spending and transparency. However, Galland’s campaign has relied on negative portrayals of his opposition instead of presenting a compelling reason why he would be a better fire commissioner.

Lakehaven Utility District commissioner: Don Miller Don Miller has served on the Lakehaven board of commissioners since 1983. He faces an intelligent and capable challenger in Marie-Anne Harkness, who is eager to serve on the board and learn more about the water district. Either candidate would make a fine commissioner. However, Harkness does not present a compelling case for replacing Miller, who has been engaged with the water district and its projects for three decades.

Ferrell is candidate for change It wasn’t an easy decision for Jim Ferrell to run for mayor a second time.

While he felt the city was stuck in neutral with Skip Priest as mayor, nothing had really gone wrong, either. Would the public consider a change? And what was a compelling reason to run? He announced he would not run.

But then the Pinewood Apartment murders happened. In April, five people died in the worse mass shooting in Federal Way’s history. Could a different mayor have stopped it? Probably not. But it did shake up the city and put public safety on the forefront of public debate. And while a new mayor might not stop an individual crime, he might still make a difference.

The Federal Way Police Officers Guild had asked Ferrell to run before and he declined.

This time he considered it more seriously. Ferrell felt he could be that difference.

Jim Ferrell has always appeared to be a man in a hurry. Whether it’s a council meeting, taking care of his young son or just having a cup of coffee, there is a sense of energy about him. Like the football linebacker he once was, he seems to be in perpetual motion. But we were never quite sure which direction he was headed, and that caused questions in the community. Some thought he was a political animal and that Federal Way was a stepping stone to Olympia and maybe statewide office someday.

But Ferrell’s movements to change the form of government to a strong mayor system, and

then run twice for the job, seem to solidify that his goals are local. In between the two runs for mayor, Ferrell turned down another chance to run for the Legislature. Mayor isn’t usually a stepping stone — it’s a destination. Incumbent Mayor Skip Priest gave up his seat in the state House to run for mayor.

Ferrell is outgoing and friendly, with a ready smile and a firm handshake.

When talking to people, he uses terms like “buddy” or “pal.” That makes the person feel comfortable. He’s easy to like.

Even though his day job has been in the King County Prosecutor’s Office, his heart has been in politics and political change.

Ferrell is hard to categorize. He is a fiscal conservative, but has never fit the Republican mold. He switched parties to become a Democrat due to his views on social issues, but still carries an anti-tax fiscal side. He is mostly a populist. Opponents argue that he switched political parties so that he could attract Democratic votes while anticipating Priest would get the Republican votes. That may or may not be true, but it has allowed him more latitude in questioning Priest’s record in debates — something he was reluctant to do in 2010. Priest is usually good in debates, but he has appeared off-balance and on the defensive with Ferrell.

In a race for mayor, it is usually the incumbent’s record that warrants the most scrutiny.

Such is the case this year. Priest has allowed [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ]

EDITORIAL

Geoffery McAnalloy’s enthusiasm and passion for education will be a breath of fresh air for the Federal Way School Board. The incumbent, Ed Barney, should be commended for his willingness to serve on the board for the past 12 years.

However, it’s time for a change. The school district will benefit from McAnalloy’s energy and ideas for engaging the community. He has children in the district and seems more in tune with the needs of Federal Way students. He also gets the nod for being willing to question the district’s grading system and administrative decisions.

How I learned to stop being afraid of Angela Davis She came. She spoke. Federal Way survived. Oh, and it was standing room only, a lot of laughs (often about her time in jail and being fired by Ronald Reagan), and began and ended with an ovation.

She spoke for over 45 minutes, and answered questions in detail for nearly an hour.

Many did not agree with Angela Davis’ ideas. I don’t

agree with many of her ideas.

I’m sure many did not agree with her tactics in the 1960s and 1970s, and much of her polarizing history that included membership in the Communist and Black Panther parties, and time in jail.

I know that some in our community did not want to allow her to speak here at all, in any capacity. The comments in The Mirror before she arrived had reached fairly ugly proportions. The commenters repeatedly called her a terrorist, equating her presence to

bringing in Klansmen and Nazis; they used labels including “blood drenched radical” and “murderer;” they linked her to a suggestion that our local Somali-American community was prone to terrorism; and of course attacked the Federal Way School Board for allowing her to speak.

There was also very emotional testimony last week during public comment that challenged the school board for allowing Davis to speak, and challenging that the First [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

Q&A with Mr. FW: How does the school grading system work?

Q: Mr. Federal Way, you have kids in Federal Way Public Schools. Do you have any idea how to read the standard-based education grading system?

A: Quick answer is that Mr. Federal Way has no idea how the district’s grading system works.

It sure would be a lot easier if Mr. Federal Way could go to the district’s website and see the actual “scores” on homework assignments, quizzes and tests. Like the “good old days.”

Mr. Federal Way wants to see that Mr. Federal Way’s kid got 91 out of 100 on a chapter test in chemistry, or 22 out of 25 on algebra homework.

Mr. Federal Way doesn’t want to try and wade through a lot of big words in an attempt to see this.

Here’s an example of one of the 12 grading categories in Mr. Federal Way’s kid’s French class: “Language Comparisons: Identify

[ ROEGNER from page 4] himself to become more vulnerable than you would expect of a seasoned politician. That has benefited Ferrell, but as he has appeared more electable, more voters have taken a closer look at his record and where he might lead the city.

In addition to the conversion from the council-manager to strong mayor form of government, Ferrell also led the change in the Federal Way Municipal Court from appointed to elected judges.

He has consistently argued for more police and has received the police guild’s endorsement. He was able to obtain agreement from the city council to support a COPS grant this year to add more police, even though Priest had not included it in his requests. Ferrell has supported downtown improvements similar to a Kent Station, over the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) endorsed by Priest.

Consistent with his populist view, Ferrell has urged a public vote on the PACC. Priest has not taken a position on a public vote. At its current price tag of nearly $32 million, and with questions about financing raised by businessman Jeff Stock, it seems unlikely the public would support the PACC at this time. Ferrell has consistently opposed the PACC as too expensive and believes the cost will harm city services.

Priest has not changed many staff positions at City Hall.

Ferrell would be more likely to take a serious look at city staffing, evaluate department head positions and expect additional

cultural characteristics of language such as formalities, levels of politeness, informal and formal language.”

Excusez-moi? Mr. Federal Way doesn’t comprehendo.

The district is hosting numerous forums at middle schools for parents to learn more about the new grade book and how grades are calculated.

Seems like a lot of extra work to explain something that shouldn’t be that hard to explain. Mr. Federal Way shouldn’t have to go back to school just to understand how grades are distributed, right?

Mr. Federal Way also believes the standards-based education grading system is equally hard to understand for the great teachers in the district. Mr. Federal Way assumes that calculating grades is a lot more time-consuming for teachers than it was five years ago. accountability. He would also review the city’s priorities and set public goals. Those close to Ferrell say he would be more of an activist mayor.

Last time the two met in an election, Priest was not part of city government and Ferrell was. But it was Priest who ran an incumbent status quo safe style of race, staying above the fray. Ferrell was the candidate of change.

The roles are the same for this race. But now Priest has a record to defend. Ferrell is more aggressive and has caught Priest in several mistakes, including using old crime statistics, misrepresenting Ferrell’s voting record at the Chamber of Commerce debate, and claiming credit for getting money from Sound Transit; that credit should properly go to King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer and State Sen. Tracey Eide.

Ferrell’s supporters argue that Priest represents the old guard and that a new generation offers change, new direction and a new leader in Ferrell. They believe Ferrell’s theme, “We can do better,” is more than just words. It is a challenge to the community to look forward and raise their expectations. It is the chance to create a vision for what the community can be when today’s children grow to adulthood. Jim Ferrell believes he can take them there.

The race is too close to call, although it appears Ferrell has the momentum.

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

Grades should be similar to statistics in sports. In baseball, it’s pretty easy to look up a hitter’s stats to see if they are having a good or bad season. That’s how Major Leaguers get paid. A player who hits .300 with 30 home runs and 100 RBIs makes a lot more money than somebody who hits .250 with 50 RBIs. The results are right in front of you, in black and white. Absolutely no guesswork needed.

If it’s not broke, why is the Federal Way School District attempting to “fix” it?

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what is the point of having an actual “landline” at your house? Is there anyone under the age of 70 who doesn’t do all of their communicating with a cellphone?

A: The only reason that Mr. Federal Way can think of for having a landline is because you like receiving a call from a radio station the second you sit down for a family dinner.

The landline is also a great tool during the election season. Mr. Federal Way doesn’t miss those

calls that start with a robot voice regarding a city council candidate.

Those calls always ended with Mr. Federal Way immediately hanging up the phone.

It still amazes Mr. Federal Way that there are people out there who pay for a landline.

The landline seems to be going the way of the yellow pages and the hand-written letter.

Mr. Federal Way can understand the yellow pages becoming extinct. Is there a worse feeling than coming home from work and seeing that plastic bag with the phone book inside of it? Mr. Federal Way compares it to a dog making its way onto the porch and taking a big poop on the “welcome” mat.

It’s basically the same thing.

When Mr. Federal Way sees the yellow pages, Mr. Federal Way utters a few words not fit for children’s ears, grabs the plastic bag and immediately throws it in the recycle bin.

Mr. Federal Way would have the same reaction if a pile of dog turds was deposited on the front

It’s kind of sad to see the handwritten letter go the way of the dinosaur. Currently, the only thing that sits in the mailbox are bills, and Mr. Federal Way becomes depressed when heading out to get the mail.

However, there is that rare occasion when, situated in the middle of all those bills, there is a letter from Mr. Federal Way’s grandparents or a hand-written “thank you” note.

Those are little things in life that bring joy to the otherwise monotonous routine of picking up the mail.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I got my ballot in the mail last week and was just wondering who you will be voting for in the Nov. 5 general election?

A: None of your business.

Got a question for Mr. Federal Way? Email mrfederalway@federalwaymirror.com “Not in Federal Way. The First Amendment rocks in Federal Way.

PACC analysis: Real support is a financial commitment I support Jeff Stock’s recent comments in The Mirror (“Businessman raises red flags over PACC’s financial analysis”) and add the following comments.

I have been in banking and managing investments for more than 50 years. This has also involved heading committees organized to design, raise capital and build multimillion-dollar projects for non-profit entities.

This weekend, I went online to the City of Federal Way’s website and reviewed the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) information. Having been involved on the lending side of loan requests over many years, I feel the information presented at this time does not support the development of this project.

There needs to be information that indicates the types of entertainment that will be available, including ticket prices for attendees. [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

Different kids have different needs. Whether it’s a pair or eyeglasses, someone who will listen or food for the weekend – CIS can help. Our School Outreach Coordinators work closely with students and their families, as well as school staff to identify and address the particular needs of students.

Through this model of integrated student services, CIS is surrounding students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school Geoffery M 1 Eigth.pdf 1 10/21/2013 2:53:28 PM and achieve in life.

Geoffery for School Board Director

As a parent of children in our district, I am committed to its success. I have been an active PTSA board member for five years and I was recognized as a FWPS Volunteer of the Year in 2011. I am devoted to building relationships between parents, teachers, principals, administration, and the community. I have three main initiatives: We need an inclusive success plan for ALL children. I want a more rewarding educational experience for all students, so each has an optimum opportunity to achieve.

We need improved parental engagement and community involvement. As parents, we need to know our choices at every step to ensure that each individual child is on the best educational path.

We need to provide funding to engage the WHOLE child. This includes programs that have been cut like elementary music, CTE, and performing arts while we reevaluate current expenditures. The 2009 statistics that 39% of students didn’t graduate from our district indicate that changes are needed.

I would be honored to receive your vote for School Board Director

Thank you…

Thank you for the opportunity to talk about the challenges in the Federal Way School District. This is the first generation to truly compete in the global economy. We need to do everything possible to ensure our kids can succeed.

That’s why I decided to run. I have experience as a teacher, an education advocate and in the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. I’m ready to put that experience to work to help make our school district one of the best in the state.

I’m excited to work with you to lower the achievement gap, get graduation rates up and ensure tax dollars are used wisely. As a former teacher, I’m ready to hit the ground running to get results for our kids.

What will rental rates be for using the facilities?

It needs to be made clear that this facility will be subsidized by Federal Way taxpayers. I agree with Stock’s comments that operating expenses will be much greater than what is indicated in the pro forma.

The council seems to be intent on going ahead on this project without really knowing if it has enough community (Federal Way and environs) support to make the project a success. Right now, we have verbal support from optimists, questionable support from realists, and those who will not support the project no matter what.

I would encourage the optimists to form a support group to raise funds from businesses and individuals to support development of the project, or for pre-payment of future attendance or use of the PACC. Real support is a financial commitment. This project, if not successful, could weigh heavily on taxpayers in the future. Having been in the financial business for many years, I know it takes more than optimism, which is only part of success in any venture.

Don Vandenheuvel, Federal Way

Concerned about school board

I am concerned about the Federal Way School Board and if they are the best choice for this school district to conduct its business fairly.

Is it fair that the community, parents and students are allowed three minutes to speak at board meetings? Do you want to hear what we have to say?

Is it fair that you spend thousands of dollars in other countries — when brown, rusty drinking water runs from some school faucets, and there are cold dirty restrooms, crowded classrooms, shared nurses, not enough teacher assistants, failing test scores, and the list goes on and on.

Is it fair that this district built a brand new administrabuilding, you. tion Consult withwhen us. schools need to be rebuilt? This school board does not have the children of this community’s best interest at hand and I am quite concerned.

Lawsuit accuses police of excessive force, false evidence Plaintiff was person of interest in 2008 murder investigation

ing home where her husband stayed. Nursing home employee Joseph Njonge was later arrested and convicted of the murder.

However, Federal Way detectives first focused on Randall Fontana, whose father also stayed at the nursing home.

According to court documents, detectives obtained a search warrant for Fontana’s car, home, and seizure of DNA and fingerprints.

On March 25, 2008, detectives executed the search warrant when Fontana walked out his front door.

According to documents, a detective pointed a gun at Fontana and instructed him to get on the ground.

As Fontana attempted to do so, the detective shoved his foot into Fontana’s back while another detective used an “arm bar” technique to take him down.

Fontana was transported to a temporary detention area where he was chained to a bench.

Fontana was detained for four hours. According to documents, just before Fontana’s release, an un-

identified officer searched Fontana and yanked on his genitals, “causing him considerable pain.”

About a week later, detectives matched Njonge’s DNA to the DNA found under Britt’s fingernails, and arrested Njonge for the homicide.

Fontana filed the lawsuit in 2011, and the city eventually filed a motion to dismiss the case. Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Jones refused to dismiss the lawsuit.

The case will go to trial on March 3.

The judge found that Fontana “has made a ‘substantial showing’ that a question of fact exists with respect to whether detectives deliberately or recklessly made false statements” to obtain the search warrant.

One example refers to a detective’s statement that Fontana had previously assaulted his brother with a two-by-four, despite no evidence presented to back up that statement, according to documents.

Another example is an alleged conversation between Fontana and Britt that was cited in the warrant, but not

proven through evidence by detectives.

“The court notes that Mr. Fontana has presented evidence that challenges the statement in the affidavit that Ms. Britt ‘became upset’ with him,” according to documents.

The judge dismissed several claims in the lawsuit, including a claim that Federal Way failed to train its officers in serving search warrants, as well as a claim that police denied Fontana medical treatment.

The lawsuit alleges that Federal Way detectives lacked probable cause and violated Fontana’s Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. According to court documents, detectives presented no evidence of conducting a background check on Fontana before drafting their search warrant.

Detective Thaddeus Hodge testified that the process for collecting DNA and fingerprint evidence would take 10 minutes.

According to court documents, the detectives have not presented evidence to explain why Fontana was detained at the station for

four hours.

“The jury will get to hear how the police in Federal Way conduct their business,” said Dan Fiorito III, who is Fontana’s attorney.

“It’s a very unfortunate situation when there is an abuse of power of any sort. … We feel that Federal Way was out of line in this instance.”

The court documents note that a number of facts are in dispute, and that facts are summarized and addressed “in the light most favorable” to Fontana, who is the plaintiff.

FYI Joseph Njonge, the man convicted of murdering 75-year-old Jane Carol Britt in 2008, had that decision overturned in 2011.

The Washington State Court of Appeals found that Njonge had his right to a public trial violated when the court arranged seating for all potential 65 jurors during jury selection.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg vowed to appeal the case to the State Supreme Court, which was set to hear arguments this month, according to the Seattle Times.

Have you continued to talk with your child and teen about waiting to have sex? Safety in relationships? Using protection if you know or suspect they are sexually active?

Planned Parenthood has put together a great series of two-minute videos to walk you through sample conversations. Check them out at plannedparenthood. org/parents.

Talking about your values and expectations and listening to your child, even if you don’t agree, is one of the most important things you can do as a parent to promote healthy sexual development and healthy relationships in your child or teen. So talk today.

And don’t forget to change the batteries in the smoke detector.

Amy Johnson

Sex in the Suburbs

You know how they say to change your batteries in your smoke detector when the time changes from daylight savings back to standard time?

It’s a preventative safety measure.

You’re not planning to have a fire, but in the unlikely event there is one, you want to be able to get out alive, so you plan ahead and keep those batteries fresh in the smoke detector. The “change your clocks, change your batteries” thing is a reminder.

Here’s another reminder.

October is National Family Sexuality Education Month. Same idea. You’re not planning for your child to be abused, or for one of them to be involved in an unplanned pregnancy, or develop an eating disorder based on distorted body image, or contract a sexually transmitted disease.

But it’s time for a conscious check-up of your family preventative safety measures so you can make sure your child is equipped to handle things that may come his or her way.

Does your young child know the proper names for all the body parts, including genitalia? This is matterof-fact information for a 2-year-old — just more words they are learning. It’s also empowering for them to be able to name and emphatically protect these parts from unwanted touch.

Do your children know that the private zone for kids is where their bathing suits cover and that no one else should touch anything there without a good reason? Good reasons include: helping with diaper changing or toilet needs, bathing by a parent or caregiver, and physical exams by doctors.

Karen A. Poinier, 55, of Des Moines, WA passed away on October 9, 2013. She was born in Balboa, California on June 28, 1958. Karen graduated from West Seattle High School in 1976. She attended the University of Washington and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Society and Justice in 1981. Then she continued her education at Edmonds Community College and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Technical Arts with a Major in Paralegal Studies in 1983.

Karen worked as a paralegal for over 25 years with a special interest in personal injury and medical malpractice. Her most recent position was with Gehrke, Wegener and Doull in Des Moines.

Gardening was her passion and she enjoyed spending time nurturing flowers and vegetables. Animals were also an interest of hers, especially dogs. Karen recently became a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Karen is survived by her brothers, David (Sally) Poinier and Michael (Bonnie) Frederick. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Florence Poinier; her aunt, Anne Raymond and her brother, Thomas Poinier, Jr. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 26 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Moines.

Evelyn Buttram (nee Papulias) Evelyn passed from the mortal world on October 16, 2013 in Federal Way, Washington at age 86, due to complications of Parkinson’s disease which plagued her during the last decade of her life.

After her husband’s retirement in the 80’s, she enjoyed traveling with him frequently to maintain the longstanding bonds of friendship and family. Becoming a grandmother in the mid-90’s brought her great joy and she shared her gifts of love and caring in that role.

She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Alex (“Pappy”) and Ted. Her sister, Constance, still resides in Fresno. Surviving are her husband of 61 years, Tom; daughter, Karen, of Seattle; son, Tommy, of Enumclaw and granddaughter, Camille.

Local gang prevention gets boost with state grant Mirror staff reports

Gang activities create problems for public safety and economic interests in cities such as Federal Way. In response, the Washington State Partnership Council on Juvenile Justice has selected three programs to receive state grant funding for criminal street gang prevention.

Grant recipients are the Suburban King County Coordinating Council on Gangs Implementation Plan, the City of Tacoma Neighborhood and Community Services, and the Benton/Franklin Counties Gang Prevention and Intervention Project.

Each grant is worth $133,000. Later this year, the Suburban King County Coordinating Council on Gangs will release a comprehensive study of gang activity in suburban cities, with updated data from 2012.

The council’s goal is to reduce youth violence and gang activity by fostering better communication among local law enforcement and governments.

The council has buy-in from South King County law enforcement agencies including Federal Way. Retired Justice Bobbe Bridge founded the Center for Children and Youth Justice (CCYJ), which formed the gang council.

She said social services are just as important as law enforcement when it comes to gang issues. One area where communities can make a positive impact is education, Bridge said. Whether a student receives a high school diploma or a college degree, education is seen as a path out of poverty and away from the temptations of the gang lifestyle.

“Education is essential to successful lives and higher self-esteem,” Bridge said.

Gang members often grow up in dysfunctional households with a lack of positive role models and supervision. Gangs address the needs that aren’t met by traditional institutions such as churches and schools. By living under conditions that promote criminal behavior, young gang members are more likely to drop out of school or go to prison.

Bridge said programs like the Road Map Project are an example of how schools can leverage resources and pay attention to the kids who get overlooked. The project is a collaboration among seven area school districts to reduce the achievement gap among students. In 2012, the project received a $40 million grant from the U.S Department of Education’s “Race to the Top” competition. The money will serve more than 261 schools and 150,000 students. Of those 150,000 students, 36,000 are considered high-need students.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...

Comfort Keepers helping to lift spirits Hal and Alice Coleman have been married since 1984. They both lost their first spouses, and after all these years, they still truly enjoy each other’s company.

They have three daughters who live Portugal, Wisconsin and California.

Hal was born and raised in Georgia on a farm. While he was in the Navy during World War II, he received his education using the GI Bill and then went on to work for 30 years in the federal government within the health, education and welfare departments.

When he retired, he went to work in private industry.

Alice was born and raised in Seattle. She had a rewarding career as an accounting secretary. Hal states that she was always very motivated, hardworking

and efficient. She was very active in her church and a choir director for many years.

Alice is happy to live in the beautiful northwest as it brings her close to her family in the Federal Way area.

Hal and Alice retired when they were 60 years old and traveled all over the world. They took two trips every year and sometimes more, travelling to Australia, Paris and Egypt to name a few. Their library wall is lined with the photo albums full of their memories from their trips together. Just talking about those trips brings a wonderful smile to their faces. They couldn’t name their favorite trip over the years as they felt they were all fabulous.

Unfortunately Alice fell and broke her hip

Bill Gates, left, and Jerry Galland answered questions at a forum Oct. 23. Galland is challenging Gates, the incumbent, for South King Fire and Rescue board of commissioners position 1. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror

South King Fire candidates turn up the heat at forum

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

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 South King Fire and Rescue.

Gates was first elected in 2001 and re-elected in 2007.

He has been 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.

At Wednesday’s forum, Gates championed the fire district and criticized Galland for relentlessly birddogging the district and board of commissioners.

On the flip side, Galland said the district lacked transparency, and he accused the board of mismanaging public tax dollars.

Gates said the district has received 11 clean audits during his tenure. Another big accomplishment, he said, is the district’s coveted Class 2 insurance rating, which is considered the best in the state.

“You’re being served by one of the best fire districts in Washington,” Gates said.

In a letter posted on The Mirror’s website and distributed at the forum, Gates rebutted Galland’s contrarian positions and accusations on the district’s excess levy, severance package for the chief, legal counsel for the chief ’s son, and the district’s new training center.

He also criticized Galland’s penchant for making public records requests of the district, and filing a pair of “false police reports” against two commissioners.

Galland said he has not missed a fire commissioner meeting in four years, and believes he can add value to the board, if elected. He said his main interest is advocating for conservative finances on behalf of the public. He said someone needs to ask tough questions about the way tax dollars are spent.

“I try to give valid input,” Galland said. “It gets ignored.”

Neither candidate has previous firefighting experience. Gates said he has a “comprehensive view” of emergency services, and has had training in Fire Ops 101, CERT and integrated emergency management.

Another point of contention was SKFR’s recent excess levy, which generates

Girls Night Out

$3.5 million a year. The district told voters the money would go toward returning an aid car to service, and help bridge a funding gap.

The aid car was returned to service this summer. Gates said the levy addressed a shortfall of $2 million.

Galland said the board and district lacked foresight to plan for the debt, and based on his calculations, the levy ended up being “a $3.8 million mistake.”

“It’s very clear that we have problems,” Galland said in his closing statement, adding that the board is a rubber stamp for the fire district and chief.

In his closing statement, Gates told a poignant story about how the district recently presented a “purple heart medal” to Wynn Loiland, a firefighter who was severely injured in the line of duty. Gates said that at the board meeting when Loiland was honored, everyone in the room stood up to applaud except Galland. Galland said he didn’t remember it that way, and said he stood for Loiland.

Lakehaven board candidates have thirst for public service

By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

In the lone race for Lakehaven Utilty District board of commissioners position 2, longtime incumbent Don Miller faces challenger Marie-Anne Harkness.

Lakehaven commissioners set policies for the water district as well as oversee expenditures and a budget of nearly $30 million. Lakehaven provides water and sewer services for nearly all Federal Way residents.

Miller is a retired financial planner for Prudential insurance and a retired National Guardsman. He was first elected to the board in 1983.

Miller said he’s “on top of what we’re doing” when it comes to coordinating water and sewer issues with the city’s downtown development goals. Miller said he attends conferences and keeps up on the latest technology for water districts.

He says one strength is that he’s a “finance guy.”

Miller said he wants to stay on the board and finish what he has watched develop, such as a future

Don Miller, left, and Marie-Anne Harkness are competing for Lakehaven Utility District’s board of commissioners. Andy Hobbs, The Mirror filtration station on the Green River.

Harkness is a retired teacher-librarian and longtime community volunteer who’s running her first election race.

Harkness became interested in the Lakehaven position based on her efforts to stop a garbage transfer station in the West Hill of Auburn. Through the ordeal, she has learned about the ways of water and how government deals with water. She said her research skills and ability to “look outside the box” will bring a new perspective to

the Lakehaven board. She has been attending Lakehaven board meetings and learning all she can about regulatory issues and water treatment.

In the pursuit of fair rates for ratepayers, one problem Harkness said she would address is the extra cost that results from the overlapping infrastructure between King and Pierce counties.

Q: Resignation?

One question asked candidates if they would resign from the board if facing multiple felony theft charges like current board member Tony Moore.

Barney said Moore is innocent until proven guilty, and if Barney was in the same situation and knew he was innocent, he probably wouldn’t step down. McAnalloy said Moore could have saved face for the district by resigning, but instead has taken the focus off the children. Gregory said she was concerned about whether Moore would have the time to serve while juggling his legal issues. Wells said, simply, that he would resign.

Q: Teachers union?

Gregory was asked about her history with the Washington Education Association and how that would affect her as a school board member. She said teachers should have advocates, but that subpar teachers do not belong in classrooms. The other candidates echoed those sentiments as far as ensuring that bad teachers don’t get a pass. In response to the question, McAnalloy added that there is a “complete disconnect” between the board, superintendent and building administra-

Candidate notes • Barney: When asked what he learned on a recent controversial three-week board trip to Europe, Barney did not answer the question. Travels for the Global Learning Initiative have made contacts that benefit the district, such as an opportunity to participate in a Global Partnership Program. He noted his longtime involvement in areas such as the PTA and elementary track and field program.

• McAnalloy: He says career and technical education (CTE) as well as extracurricular activities and auto mechanics are programs that keep more students engaged. These programs meet more needs for students in the district. Also key is engaging fifth- and eighth-graders to prepare them for the next levels. McAnalloy stressed his willingness to “take care of the whole child” at every grade level.

• Gregory: She has

Andy Hobbs, The Mirror chaired large boards and knows the role of a board, she said. Her experience will help her develop strategies and communicate with the public, and also make sound decisions on how the district uses its resources.

She would focus on spending money for teacher resources in the classrooms.

Football: Raiders shut out Rams Longtime

UW coach Don James dead at 80

TJ right in the playoff mix in SPSL after 41-0 win; Eagles continue to impress

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Thomas Jefferson football team gave their fans an impressive homecoming gift Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The Raiders shut out the Mount Rainier Rams, 41-0, to remain right in the playoff mix in the South Puget Sound League North Division.

The win over the Rams puts TJ in a tie for fourth place in the SPSL North with the Tahoma Bears. Both teams sit 4-2 in league play. Auburn Riverside leads at 6-0, followed by Kentwood (5-1) and Auburn (5-2). The top-four finishers in the SPSL North advance into the postseason.

The Raiders scored six touchdowns against Mount Rainier and they all came from different players. Senior quarterback Niko DelaCruz led things off with a 26-yard run and Tyrell Williams added an 18-yard touchdown run to give TJ a 14-0 lead after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, DelaCruz connected on a pair of touchdown passes to Lonyay Jones and Phillip Cuadros to put the Raiders up 28-0. Zach Grayson and Shane Seaume added second-half touchdown runs to finalize the 41-0 win.

Jefferson will travel to Kentridge Friday night to take on the 0-6 Chargers and will end the regular season with a trip to Maple Valley to play Tahoma. Wins in both games will guarantee the Raiders a

Seattle lost a legitimate sports icon Sunday when Don James died at his home in Kirkland. The former University of Washington football coach was 80 years old and had pancreatic cancer.

“The Dawgfather,” as James was known, was Seattle sports during his 18-year career at the helm of the Husky program.

During his tenure from 1975 through 1992, James established Washington as Don James not only the class of the Pac-10, but also a national power.

The Huskies won 10 bowl games and had a 153-58-2 record during James’ 18 years. At the time, only Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden had won more. James is currently seventh on the all-time Division-I coaching victory list.

James’ teams won four Rose Bowl titles (1978, 1982, 1991 and 1992), six conference championships and finished in the Top-20 in the national rankings 11 times. He had 109 players that were selected in the NFL Draft, including 10 in the first round.

But the highlight of James’ coaching career came during the 1991 season when a loaded Washington team finished unbeaten and shared the National Championship with Miami.

are legitimate, longtime fans who are actually upset with all the “wannabe” fans jumping on the Seahawks Express bandwagon.

It’s kind of funny, actually. As one of those “legit, longtime” fans, I say the more the merrier.

Why would I be upset that people are actually rooting for “my team?” Answer is, I wouldn’t. Jump on board, people.

Let’s ride this train all the way to the Super Bowl.

The fair-weather fans don’t bug me at all. It means that the Seattle Seahawks are winning football games, and that’s what matters.

Some hardcore fans say the sudden rise of the bandwagon isn’t a good thing. They say these fans are comparable to Pamela Anderson — fake.

Where were they when the Seahawks went 5-11 during the 2009 season?

These bandwagon fans are essentially slapping the longtime season-ticket holders, who go way back to the Kingdome days, smack dab in the face. They are jumping on board because the Seahawks are very, very good and they will leap right off if the Hawks happen to lose in the playoffs or a few years down the road,

SIDELINES

Hop on everybody. There’s plenty of room for everybody on the Seattle Seahawks bandwagon.

The bandwagon is making stops all over the Pacific Northwest, and the proverbial bus is getting fuller each week.

No more seats are available. In fact, the bandwagon is reaching a point of standing-room only.

The Seahawks moved to 6-1 on the season with a dominating 34-22 Thursday Night Football win over the Arizona Cardinals — and are widely considered the best team in the National Football Conference.

The Seahawks are a legitimate force to be reckoned with, and truly a favorite to bring Seattle the city’s first professional sports championship since the now-defunct SuperSonics won the NBA title back in 1979.

Everywhere you go around the Pacific Northwest, all you see are Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch jerseys.

There are also more Seahawks hats, sweatshirts and T-shirts floating around than coffee shops.

There is an underside to the success of the 2013 edition of the Seattle Seahawks. There

[ wrap up from page 20]

Seattle Seahawk quarterback Russell Wilson has led the team to a 6-1 record so far this season. courtesy photo when the team goes back to being mediocre.

This is the same thing that happened to the Seattle Mariners following the magical run from 1995 through 2001.

The Kingdome and Safeco Field were packed every night during that time. Mariners memorabilia was flying off the racks, and players could do no wrong.

After 12-straight seasons of not making the playoffs, Safeco Field is now a barren wasteland during the spring and summer.

But, that’s just how things work. I’ll let you in on a little secret: It’s not fun to spend your hard-earned money to

drive to downtown Seattle, pay to park your car, pay for tickets, and pay $10 for a beer to watch a team get boatraced.

Wouldn’t you rather spend all that money and go watch a Seahawks game where the crowd is super fired-up, yelling their lungs out, leading to a victory? That’s fun and that’s reality.

So, even if you are a “new” Seattle Seahawks fan or remember the days of yore when Jim Zorn and Steve Largent were wearing blue, let’s just enjoy the ride.

Jump on board and let’s ride this bandwagon all the way to the Super Bowl.

“I don’t know if there’s a more iconic figure in Seattle,” current UW head coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday.

James started his coaching career at Kent State, where he coached future Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert. He also coached Nick Saban, now head coach at defending national champion Alabama, plus Gary Pinkel, currently the coach at fifthranked Missouri.

“He was a special man and meant the world to me,” Saban told the Associated Press Sunday night. “There aren’t enough words to describe not only the great coach he was, but how much he cared for people and the positive impact he made in the lives of everyone he came in contact with. Coach James was my mentor and probably did more than anybody to influence me in this profession.”

Sunday night, Pinkel posted a statement on his website that said, “It’s hard to put into words how much it hurts to lose a man like Don James. He was my coach, my mentor…”

James is survived by his wife of 61 years Carol, their children Jeff, Jill and Jeni, and 10 grandchildren.

James gave his annual preseason speech to the current Washington squad in August and attended the first game at the renovated stadium on Aug. 31 against Boise State.

It was shortly after that his health took a significant turn.

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1997 and the UW Hall of Fame in 1993.

Locally, Federal Way Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell walked-on to the Husky football team, playing four seasons under Coach James

in the mid-1980s. Ferrell suffered a devastating knee injury at the end of his second year.

“My fondest and most precious memory of him was his visit to me in my hospital room after my knee surgery in 1986,” Ferrell posted on his Facebook. “I was a walk-on linebacker, destined never to be a starter. But he sat in that room with my mother and I and brought cookies that (his wife) Carol had made. He was a great man that truly cared. I will never forget his lessons on perseverance and determination.

I was truly fortunate to have him as a mentor and a friend.”

The Federal Way Football Club (FWFC) Wolverines girls under-12 finished in first place in their division at the 2013 Apple Cup soccer tournament in Wenatchee. The Wolverines won all four of their matches, including the championship, 5-1.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ briefs from page 23 ] my journey and I would not be able to succeed at my dream without the support of friends, family and sponsors, like Liberty Mutual Insurance, who help me rise up to reach my goals.”

In addition to highlighting Liberty Mutual Insurance’s “Rise” campaign, these videos are designed to engage Americans in celebrating the power of human persistence as well as rallying support for these inspirational members of Team USA. • The Seattle Thunderbirds got goals from six different players Saturday night to skate to a 6-3 victory over the Swift Current Broncos at the ShoWare Center.

Riley Sheen, Seth Swenson, Branden Troock, Roberts Lipsbergs, Jared Hauf and Justin Hickman had goals for the T-Birds.

Seattle (9-3-0-1) goalie Justin Myles stopped 24 of 27 shots to get the win and improve his record to 5-2-0-0.

The T-Birds are at the Tri-City Americans at 7:05 p.m. Friday.

They are at home this Saturday for a 7:05 game against the Vancouver Giants at the ShoWare Center.

• The Pacific Cup of the women’s Legends Football League (LFL) returns to the ShoWare Center in Kent at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, when the Seattle Mist plays the BC Angels.

The Kent-based Mist beat the Angels in the first Pacific Cup last year at the ShoWare Center.

“Since 2009, we have enjoyed incredible fan support for the Seattle Mist at ShoWare Center,” said LFL chairman Mitchell S. Mortaza, in a media release. “The annual Pacific Cup creates another great opportunity for the Mist fan base to see their team in a unique USA vs. Canada setting.”

The Federal Way Football Club (FWFC) Wolverines under-12 girls soccer team recently won the 2013 Apple Cup Tournament in Wenatchee. courtesy photo Tickets are $85, $55, $35, $25 and $1.

Tickets are currently on sale and are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the arena box office, 625 W. James St.; by calling 866-973-9613 or at ShoWareCenter.com.

The Mist have won the LFL’s 8th Man Award (Best Fan Base) for two consecutive years because of the environment Mist Nation creates packing the ShoWare Center.

The LFL features play in the U.S., Canada and Australia and plans to expand in 2015 to Europe.

Bone described the man as a thin-built Pacific Islander in his 20s who was wearing a button-up shirt. He and his family have not received word on Connor Bone whether the man was caught. The incident occurred about a block away from the Auburn Eagles club off M Street, he said.

Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman said no suspect has been identified, but that independent witnesses have backed up Bone’s story. Police searched for the suspect at a nearby reception after the assault.

“The suspect turned his anger and frustration on this Good Samaritan, and that’s unfortunate,” said Hirman, noting that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

To cheer up Bone, several dozen classmates at Todd Beamer High School signed a “get well soon” banner. Darci Huffman, 16, led the effort Monday and said fellow Beamer students are rooting for her friend’s recovery.

“I felt really bad because I couldn’t really do anything to help,” she said.

A doctor said Bone needs to rest at home and refrain from hand-to-eye coordination activities such as reading, TV and video games until he is cleared Oct. 28, according to his mother, Shannon Dagley.

When she received the call that her son was in the hospital, Dagley said her mind went in several directions.

“When I saw him, it was pretty shocking,” she said, relieved that her son was going to recover. “I don’t think I’ll leave his side after he gets cleared.”
