Assefa-Dawson appointed as new council member

Lydia Assefa-Dawson will fill the Federal Way City Council seat vacated by current Mayor Jim Ferrell. chris carrel, City of Federal Way by Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

t took two rounds of nominations and votes, but the Federal Way City Council eventually voted 4-2 in favor of candidate Lydia Assefa-Dawson to fill the seat vacated by current Mayor Jim Ferrell during a special meeting on March 1. AssefaDawson was nominated by Councilmember Martin Moore, with Council members Kelly Maloney and Susan Honda the dissenting votes. “I just wanted to say thank you very much for nominating me and electing me,” Assefa-Dawson

said after taking her seat behind the dais. “You know I’m going to need your help and I hope that you’re willing to work with me. And I will not let you down, and plan on (bringing) hard work as part of this team.” Assefa-Dawson was part of three nominees in the second vote, with Council members Bob Celski and Maloney nominating Don Smith and Gregory Baruso, respectively. The two votes for Smith and Baruso ended in 3-3 ties, following a pattern from the first round of nominations earlier in the afternoon. In the first round of

nominations, Baruso and Smith were nominated by Maloney and Celski, while Moore nominated Anthony Murietta. Murietta’s vote was a 5-1 no vote, with Moore the only yes. The other two votes split 3-3, causing the Council to reconvene for executive session for the second time during the afternoon. After a long and arduous process that lasted the majority of the day, Council members thanked the applicants for their time and energy. “I want to personally thank all of the applicants, and the family members too who are here, for giving up your Saturday,” said Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge. “And for taking such a serious interest in the future of this city to apply for these positions. Filling a council vacancy is a difficult task with making choices among so many qualified candidates, and we certainly had those today.” Burbidge added the Council’s goal was to conduct the process in as transparent as possible way, and that was also [ more COUNCIL, page 3 ]

City settles with man claiming police used excessive force By Carrie Rodriguez editor@fedwaymirror.com

The city of Federal Way has settled a civil rights

lawsuit filed by a man who claimed police stomped on his back and chained him to a bench for hours after detectives arrested him as a person of interest in a 2008 murder. The city will pay $130,000 in return for settling Randall Fontana’s lawsuit against the city, the

Federal Way Police Department (FWPD) and five police officers. “The Federal Way Police Department vigorously denies any wrongdoing by its officers when Mr. Fontana was taken custody as part of a murder investigation,” wrote Andy Hwang, interim Police Chief, in

an email. “I fully support the actions of the officers involved – the decisions by the officers were reasonable and lawful given the circumstances. The decision to settle the matter was strictly a business decision by the city’s insurance carrier.” The case stems from the 2008 murder of 75-year-old

Jane Britt, who was found dead in the trunk of her Mercedes-Benz at the Garden Terrace nursing home where her husband lived. Joseph Njonge, a nursing home employee, was later arrested and convicted of the murder. However, Federal Way detectives first focused on

Miloscia to run for 30th District Senate seat as Republican from staff reports

ormer State Rep. Mark Miloscia announced Thursday that he is running for State Senate in the 30th Legislative District, as a Republican, against Democratic Sen. Tracey Eide. “The hard-working people in the 30th District deserve a Senator who will work to make government efficient and accountable, from local classrooms to big government agencies,” said Miloscia, 55, in a press

[ POLICE from page 1] court documents. Detectives executed a search warrant on March 25, 2008, when Fontana walked out his front door to go to work. Officers arrested him at gunpoint, instructing him to get on the ground, according to court documents. Fontana said he informed the officers he needed some time because he had a bad shoulder and back. However, as he attempted to get on the ground, a detective shoved his foot into Fontana’s back and twisted his arms, while another detective used an arm-bar technique to take him down, the documents continue. Fontana said he suffered injuries as a result. He also claimed he was chained and shackled in a holding cell for several hours when police took him to the FWPD to obtain DNA samples. While at a temporary detention area, “an officer grabbed Mr. Fon-

tana’s testicles and squeezed them, causing him injury,” the documents continue. A week later, detectives matched Njonge’s DNA to the DNA found under Britt’s fingernails and arrested him for the homicide. After Fontana filed the lawsuit in 2011, U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Jones later found that Fontana made a “substantial showing” that a question of fact exists to whether detectives deliberately or recklessly made false statements to obtain the search warrant. In addition, Jones concluded on Sept. 25, 2013 that a reasonable jury could find that ordering Fontana to the ground at gunpoint, handcuffing him and shackling him to a bench for approximately four hours was “an objectively unreasonable manner of executing the search warrant for his fingerprints and DNA.” “Based on the facts pre-

of respecting constitutional boundaries,” Dan Fiorito III, Fontana’s attorney, told the Mirror. “There are limits to police power, and Mr. Fontana is a cautionary tale of what happens when that power is abused.” Fiorito added that the settlement “doesn’t make what happened to him go away, but it demonstrates that there was wrongdoing on the part of Federal Way. We just hope this draws light on a negative situation and what happened to Mr. Fontana doesn’t happen to anyone else in Federal Way.” However, the city’s attorney Ann Trivett said in an email the city “disputes Fontana’s version of events, strenuously denies any liability and stands by the lawfulness of its officers’ actions.” She said the insurer’s decision to settle took into account both the cost of taking the case through a lengthy federal trial, and the risk of paying attorney’s fees.

sented by the plaintiff, a reasonable officer would have known that handcuffing Mr. Fontana, transporting him to the station, shackling him to a bench, and keeping him there for approximately four hours in executing a search warrant for his fingerprints and DNA that should have taken less than 10 minutes was unlawful,” Jones said. He also noted a reasonable jury could find that the amount of force used against Fontana during his arrest was constitutionally excessive under these circumstances. The judge also 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. “At the end of the day, it took a lot of courage for Mr. Fontana to stand up against Federal Way and this demonstrated the importance

ast week in the Brigadoon Elementary School gym, more than 110 Federal Way residents turned out to talk to city officials and staff in our first-ever Neighborhood Connection. The meeting was intended to make City Hall more accessible and open to the voice of the people it serves. We’ll be bringing City Hall to five other neighborhoods this year and I encourage you to join us for one or more of these evenings. When I was knocking on doors last summer during the election, I enjoyed many doorstep conversations with residents. Although people spoke of significant concerns such as neighborhood speeding problems or crime, they often didn’t know who to talk to, or didn’t think the city would address the problem. I realized that we needed to make it easier for residents to access their city government, and so Neighborhood Connection was born. The Brigadoon meeting started with a brief introduction from Municipal Court Judge David Larson about dispute resolution services available to residents. Afterwards, I shared some of my priorities for the city, including plans to build a downtown park this year and the Blue Ribbon Panel working on the Performing Arts and Conference Center analysis. While the focus of the evening was neighborhoods, I wanted to share our direction on downtown development plans, “everybody’s neighborhood.” A healthy downtown will be essential to generating revenues that support services, such as public safety, in neighborhoods throughout the community. The meeting also offered the first opportunity to discuss a new direction toward supporting healthy neighborhoods. While we hear a lot about downtown development, neighborhoods are the backbone of Federal Way. We know there are problem properties in some areas. The community has an older housing stock, and economic challenges have impacted many property owners. Since the Great Recession, the city has seen a significant increase in citizen complaints about distressed properties. Until now, we’ve relied on a complaint driven system for code enforcement, but that relies on neighbors reporting other neighbors. We will be changing to a proactive approach that focuses on the city identifying problem areas, and addressing them in a timely manner. We recognize that in some cases, property owners may have health or financial challenges and the city and community will need to provide a hand up. However, the city Jim Ferrell

Time to proceed with PACC It is out of respect for the people of Federal Way and for the visitors to our city that we support the proposed Federal Way Performing Arts and Conference Center. Federal Way has provided many things that we are grateful for: well-kept streets, attractive planting and lighting, our parks and community center, our schools, state-of-the-art libraries and an outstanding police department. Looking back, and looking around,

PACC was key to council appointment In what some observers may view as an upset, Lydia Assefa-Dawson was elected in a 4-2 vote to fill Mayor Jim Ferrell’s seat on the Federal Way City Council. Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge and Council members Bob Celski, Dini Duclos and Martin Moore supported Assefa-Dawson, while Council members Kelly Maloney and Susan Honda voted no. However, a closer look at Council members’ interests suggest what many insiders have suspected all along. AssefaDawson was likely the only candidate who could get four votes because she had something in her resume that held appeal to the majority. She supports the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), she is a minority female in a diverse community, where more than 100 different languages are spoken, and she supports social services. She is also a Democrat, but with ties to some groups and individuals other Council members are comfortable with. Celski, Burbidge and Duclos have always appeared to want to appoint a PACC supporter. Celski went so far as to ask most of the candidates the question point blank. If you had questions about the PACC, you were unlikely to get Celski’s vote. Based on his votes, Moore appeared to prefer a minority Democrat and voted for Anthony Murrietta and Greg Baruso in the preliminary rounds. When they were eliminated, it was easy for him to support Assefa-Dawson. Celski, Burbidge and Duclos supported con-

servative businessmen Mark Koppang and Tom Medhurst last time and were thought to be favorable toward them this time, thus making them the early front runners. But during the last few weeks, it became evident that Koppang wouldn’t get the critical fourth vote and he wasn’t nominated. Medhurst was a strong candidate but he fell out of the running when he expressed concerns about the funding for the PACC. He wasn’t nominated either. Businessman and Republican precinct committeeman Don Smith was nominated and received support from Celski, Burbidge and Duclos, but ran into the same problem, no fourth vote. The trio also opposed the nominations of Murrietta and Baruso in the preliminary rounds. As a sub-story to the days after he applied for the council seat, Baruso’s name has been coming up in political circles as a possible Democratic challenger to incumbent Republican house member Rep. Linda Kochmar. So his nomination as one of the finalists to the Council was somewhat of a surprise. If he is a serious possibility to run for the house, appointing him to the Council would be inconsistent with that strategy, which raised questions about Moore’s nomination. However, the nomination failed on a 3-3 tie. Kochmar probably would have liked to see him appointed and taken out of the running.

Gordon and Dana Turcott, Federal Way

Animal cruelty in Federal Way I want to let people know to watch out for their pets. At the absolute worst, we have a cowardly sick individual who is trapping

animals or at least we have an aggressive animal in the neighborhood. I live on 316th behind the old bus barn. On Feb. 15 a stray cat that I had been feeding came back with a severed paw and what looked like a hole in his head. The cut was diagonal on his right paw. I brought him in, fed him and cleaned him up. Getting up to take him to be looked at the next morning, he had already passed in the night. On Feb. 18 my cat

came home with a mangled right paw and I got him treated right away but still lost him. I filed a report with animal services but, because I did not get proof or pictures of the severed paw of the other cat, I have no pattern or history. Regardless, I cannot accept animal cruelty and feel the need to warn others so that they do not go through the same pain. Please report any problems or issues that you see.

Karen Bitz, Federal Way

Project will impact traffic My wife and I have lived on Southwest 312th Street for 24 years. In the past 10 years, we have seen the amount of traffic double. With just a two-lane road, the project proposed for this area with 98 units will be a large traffic problem. Can you imagine the traffic flow for just the senior housing alone? The city is not paying attention to residents who drive on Southwest 312th every day.

cannot ignore intentional noncompliance. A home is our biggest investment and we can’t allow a problem property to drag a neighborhood down. The highlight of the evening for me was when residents addressed their concerns directly to city officials. We heard about the traffic safety photo enforcement program and staff answered questions about this, along with questions about signal timing and coordination. We heard concerns about suspicious activity in the neighborhood that police will follow up on and requests for speed enforcement and traffic calming devices. The event reminded me of those conversations last year on the doorstep, except this time, people addressed their questions to the right staff person, got an answer, or a commitment for follow-up action. City government works best when it’s guided by the voice of the people. Whether you have a neighborhood issue that needs to be addressed, or want to share your thoughts on broader city policy, please join us at an upcoming Neighborhood Connection meeting.

eliminated, the tie opened the door for Assefa-Dawson’s nomination and appointment. Winners for the day were PACC supporters who acquired a fifth vote. The PACC now has solid support and may not receive the same level of scrutiny it has before. On issues other than the PACC, how Assefa-Dawson aligns herself could become an important factor. But she has the potential to have a big impact on other issues beyond the PACC.

Harold Leroy Bay, 77, passed away peacefully, after a short battle with Cancer. Surrounded by his family and with the sun shining on him, Harold passed away at his home in Federal Way, where he had lived since 1967 with his wife of 55 years and two children. Born and raised in Selah, Washington, Harold grew up on a farm until he joined the Navy at age 18. After meeting Barbara in Yakima during leave, they married and moved to California where they lived briefly before returning to Washington to raise their two children, Sherry and Chris. Sadly, Chris passed away suddenly at the young age of 28. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; daughter, Sherry Bay Santiago and son-in-law, Michael; two grandchildren, Savanna and Devon; his beloved niece, Cyndi Allmendinger; and his three sisters, Wilma, Judy and Patty. Harold's life and spirit will be celebrated at a service held on Thursday, March 13th at 1pm at St. Vincent De Paul Parish in Federal Way. In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted and will go towards funding for a bench and plaque in his honor, to be placed along his favorite daily walking route the Redondo Beach boardwalk.

Council approves establishing loan program that could fund PACC, other projects

Director of Community and Economic Development Patrick Doherty at the Council’s March 4 meeting. “What we’re talking about this evening is the loan fund program.

It’s a loan

program. “Once that paperwork comes through, and the Council accepts those terms and conditions of the fund, then we have 12 months to have a project completely vetted and reviewed,” he said. This would also include holding a public hearing and final approval from the Council, Bennett added.

Councilmember Bob Celski asked Bennett if the money that would be pooled into this loan fund could be used for a number of different projects, or if it would be limited to just one. “It’s a $3 million pool. We’d be working … with the National Development Council to identify several projects that would be eligible,” Bennett replied. “So there’s flexibility with this?” Celski followed up.

Will it be great at state for Titans? Beamer blows by Bothell in Regional round Saturday to qualify for state

Staff reports

2014 Class 4A Boys Basketball Hardwood Classic

By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Basketball is a team game and the Todd Beamer Titans exemplify what a team is. The Titans (21-4) dismantled the Bothell Cougars Saturday evening at Puyallup High School, 77-41, at the 4A Regional Tournament to qualify for the program’s second-ever State Boys Basketball Tournament. Beamer opened the 2014 4A Hardwood Classic last night (after press time) against the GonTrey Burch-Manning zaga Prep Bullpups inside the Tacoma Dome as one of the final eight teams in the state. The Beamer-Gonzaga Prep winner will play the winner of a game between Richland and Wenatchee at 9 p.m. tonight in the state semifinals. The two losers will play at 2 p.m. today. Beamer’s first, and only, appearance at the state tournament came in 2009, where the Titans lost to Walla Walla and Redmond in their two games. Against Bothell, the Ti-

Beamer senior Bogdan Bliznyuk finished with 11 points during the Titans’ impressive 77-41 win over Bothell Saturday at the 4A Regional Tournament at Puyallup High School. The win qualified Beamer for the program’s second state tournament in the school’s history. casey olson, The Mirror tans’ team effort led to four different players scoring in double figures and eight different players hitting a 3-pointer during the win. Despite scoring an impressive 77 points during the game, Beamer was led by the 12 points of senior Trey Burch-Manning. South Puget Sound League South Division Player of the Year, Bogdan Bliznyuk finished with 11 points, as did Rayvonne Freeman. Giovanni Jackson was the fourth Beamer

player in double figures with 10 points. The Titans were deadly from beyond the 3-point line against Bothell Saturday night. Beamer was 10 for 18 from 3-point line (56 percent). They also finished 19 for 24 from the free-throw line. Quadir Williams also had an impressive all-around game at point guard, finishing with six points and eight assists. Beamer jumped all over the Cougars and never looked back. The Titans led

22-9 after the first quarter 40-23 at halftime. But it was the third quarter that really put the game away for Beamer. The Titans outscored the Cougars, 21-4, during the eight minutes to take a commanding, 61-27, lead into the fourth quarter. Bothell was led by the 19 points and 12 rebounds of Josh Martin, who has already signed to play next season at the University of Minnesota. Martin is a 6-foot-9 forward.

Garfield Bulldogs (24-1) The Bulldogs are the gold standard in the state, in terms of success on the boys’ basketball court. Garfield has won a staterecord 11 big-school state championships and features another extremely talented roster. The top-ranked Bulldogs beat Battle Ground in the Regional Tournament round Saturday, 69-51, to earn the trip to the Tacoma Dome. Garfield has a very Federal Way feel on its roster. Last season, Brayon Blake and DeeShawn Tucker led Federal Way High School to a second-place finish in the SPSL South. Blake, a 6-foot6 forward, led the Eagles in scoring at 14.5 a game, and Tucker, a 6-foot point guard, averaged 10 points a game. Garfield also features former Federal Way resident Jashaun Agosto, who is averaging 8.0 points. Agosto drew national acclaim back in 2008 when he displayed his basketball skills on the Ellen Degeneres Show and Good Morning America, among others. This year’s Bulldogs are led by Treamaine Isabell, [ more state page 9 ]

Déjà vu: Arlington eliminates Titans for second-straight year Beamer drops Regional game to Eagles, 35-33, after not scoring in overtime on Saturday By Casey olson sports@fedwaymirror.com

Beamer senior Megan Huff makes a pass during the Titans’ 35-33 loss to Arlington Saturday at Puyallup High School in the 4A Regionals. casey olson, The Mirror

For the second year in a row, the Arlington Eagles proved to be the roadblock the Todd Beamer Titans couldn’t get over. With a berth into the Class 4A State Girls Basketball Tournament on the line, the Eagles ended Beamer’s season with a 35-33 overtime victory Saturday at the Regional Tournament at Puyallup High School. The top-eight teams advanced to Thursday’s State Tournament inside the Tacoma Dome.

Beamer’s year ends after finishing a perfect 20-0 before losing in the South Puget Sound League Championship game to Mount Rainier. The Rams also beat the Titans (23-3) in the West Central/ Southwest District title game. After winning the SPSL South a season ago, Arlington downed Beamer in the same Regional Tournament round, 50-42. Arlington (20-4) jumped out to a quick 10-5 lead midway through the first quarter Saturday. But the Titans fought back to tie the game at 12-12 with three minutes to go in the first half and took a 17-16 lead at halftime. The game was back and forth during the third quarter with Arlington grasping a 23-22 lead at the end. The two teams then exchanged baskets during the fourth quarter with the game ending

regulation in a 33-33 tie. Both teams had costly turnovers during the final 30 seconds of regulation. First, Beamer was called for five seconds with 26.2 left in the fourth and then Arlington turned it over with 1.1 remaining on the clock. The Titans’ Nia Alexander missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, sending the game to overtime. The only basket during the fourminute overtime session came from Arlington sophomore Jayla Russ, who finished with a gamehigh 15 points. Beamer missed all of its shots during OT. The Titans’ Megan Huff and Quinessa Cayao-do tallied 25 of Beamer’s 33 points during the contest. Huff, a senior, finished with 13 and Caylao-do, a sophomore, contributed 12.

www.federalwaymirror.com who is averaging a robust 23.5 points a game, including a 47-point outburst during a Christmas tournament in Las Vegas. Jackson Wolves (23-1) The Timberwolves cruised to the WesCo League 4A title with a perfect record and feature the two-headed monster of Dan Kingma and Jason Todd. Kingma, a 5-foot-10 guard, is averaging 17.8 points a game and Todd, a 6-foot-5 guard, is scoring 17.3 points. Jackson’s lone loss of the season came to Lincoln on Jan. 20, 61-55. The Timberwolves showed what type of team they were by winning the ultra-prestigious MaxPreps Holiday Classic over Christmas in Palm Springs. The tournament wins came over California heavyweights HarvardWestlake, Long Beach Poly and Capital Christian. Jackson has won their four postseason games by an average of 30 points, including a 67-33 win over Stadium at Regionals.

The Next Tier Richland Bombers (24-0) The Bombers enter the state tournament as the lone unbeaten team with a perfect 24-0 record. The only knock against the Bombers is they have played only teams from east of the mountains. Their lone game against an opponent from Western Washington came against Mount Rainier, who finished 3-17 in the SPSL North. Richland beat up the Rams, 95-62. Richland earned the berth into the state tournament with an 83-55 win over Moses Lake in the Regionals. The Bombers are led by Steven Beo, Jacob DeVries and Peyton Radliff. Beo finished with 28 points, Radliff had 16 and DeVries chipped in 14 during the win over Moses Lake. Beamer Titans (21-4) The Titans might have the deepest team at the state tournament. Beamer finished 15-1 to win the SPSL South and won the program’s first-ever West Central/Southwest District Tournament title. The Titans beat up Bothell at the Class 4A Regional Tournament Saturday, 77-41. During the win over Bothell, Beamer had eight players hit a 3-pointer, including four scoring in double figures. Beamer has been led all season by Bogdan Bliznyuk, who was the

South Puget Sound League South Division Player of the Year. Bliznyuk is averaging 19.9 points, six rebounds and 2.5 assists during the season. Fellow senior Trey Burch-Manning is averaging 14.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists, Charles Frazier is scoring 11.3 points and grabbing 4.6 rebounds and point guard Quadir Williams is scoring 7.7 points and 6.7 assists. Kentridge Chargers (24-1) The fourth-ranked Chargers suffered their only loss of the season to Beamer in the championship of the West Central/Southwest District Tournament. Other than that loss, the Chargers have been dominant, beating Arlington in the Regional Tournament, 65-61. The Chargers are led by Jawan Stepney, who is averaging 19.9 points a game. His lowest total of the year came against Beamer, when he scored only four points during the 51-36 loss.

Underdogs Gonzaga Prep (21-4) The Bullpups proved to be the best team from Spokane at the end of the season. After losing to Ferris in the district tournament,

Gonzaga Prep won four games in a row to qualify for state. The Bullpups beat Central Valley, Chiawana and Ferris, before beating South Kitsap at Regionals, 87-69. Gonzaga Prep is led by Sam Dowd. The 5-foot-7 guard is averaging 13 points a game. Ryan Alexander, Reed Hopkins and Brendan McClary are also averaging in double figures. Issaquah Eagles (18-6) Three of the Eagles’ losses have come against Garfield this season. But they dominated Bellarmine Prep in the Regionals, 64-46. The win over Bellarmine came after losing to Garfield in the KingCo League Championship game, 83-65. The Eagles are led by Ty Gibson, a 6-foot-3 guard who is averaging 15.6 points a game. Trevon Ary-Turner, a freshman, is second on the team at 10.6 points a game. Wenatchee Panthers (16-8) The Panthers earned the berth into the Hardwood Classic by beating the defending 4A champion Curtis Vikings in the Regionals, 59-58.

“Absolutely. It’s a loan fund pool, we just have to have one through the entire process, by the end of the 12 months,” Bennett reaffirmed.

to create the loan fund, $175,000 of that $600,000 would be diverted towards the loan fund. Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge noted that the city also puts significant funds towards human services issues outside of the CDBG funds. “We would still have the majority of the balance of (that) $600,000,” she said. “Since we became an entitlement city, we do have more resources and programs available to use and I believe we’re being

very prudent in our use and application of those programs. I personally believe we need to continue to broaden our economic base for our city. If we do not do that, we can be at risk in the future. That’s what this money was intended for, in addition to the human services allocation we make every year, in addition to using over $500,000 every year from our general fund for human services. I feel very confident that this is an extremely appropriate use

of this funding source.” Councilmember Dini Duclos agreed with Burbidge, saying the Section 108 program is a valuable and useful resource. “It is a wonderful source of funding and it does allow you to do things that you couldn’t normally do,” she said. “It’s a great resource, and I would hate for us to not have it available to us.” For more information about the PACC, visit www.federalwaypacc.org.

Firefighter investigation costs $21,000 By Carrie Rodriguez editor@fedwaymirror.com

An investigation into a South King Fire and Rescue firefighter who sent an inappropriate Facebook message to a woman he treated, will cost taxpayers nearly $21,000 in legal fees. The fire department’s attorney – Patterson Buchanan Fobes & Leitch, Inc. PS – billed the department

for more than 80 hours of work, at a cost of $185$225 per hour, according to the invoices. The fire department disciplined Brandon Church and charged him with professional misconduct in 2012, after Church treated and transported a patient to St. Francis Hospital while on duty Feb. 22, 2012.

Two hours later, Church sent the patient a message on Facebook that was “personal and included sexual innuendo,” according to SKFR investigation documents. The state Department of Health also placed Church’s emergency medical technician credentials on probation, until Jan. 30, 2015.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Why don’t Federal Way schools offer soccer? Q

: I hear that Centerstage in Federal Way has the honor of being the first theater on the West Coast to perform “Cuff Me: The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Fifty Shades of Grey.” Have you heard of this play and is this something that you and Mrs. Federal Way would see? A: Mr. Federal Way has heard of this play and the only reason stems from the fact that a poster for “Cuff Me” is hanging up in the front window of the Mirror’s office. Talk about an attention grabber. The poster features a buff dude without a shirt on and an attractive woman handcuffed in a shopping cart. According to Centerstage’s website, “Cuff Me” is a musical parody and brings the ultra-popular book “Fifty Shades of Grey” to the stage. “You’ll be dancing in the aisles at the hilarious spoofs of popular hits, from Madonna’s Like a Virgin to Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe,” the description

says. “Grab your girlfriends and get ready to laugh at this sexy, hysterical romp.” So, to answer your other question, Mr. Federal Way will take a pass on seeing the Centerstage production of “Cuff Me.” But that’s not saying Mr. Federal Way opposes the theater. Far from it. “The Theater” is just not Mr. Federal Way’s deal. Mr. Federal Way is very happy that our city offers different choices for different types of people. That’s the definition of a great place to live. After receiving this email, however, Mr. Federal Way will mention to Mrs. Federal Way about “Cuff Me.” Might make for a solid girl’s night out for Mrs. Federal Way and the rest of her buddies, which is a win-win for Mr. Federal Way. One of those rare girl’s night outs gives Mr. Federal Way the pleasure of laying on the couch without being

bugged by Mrs. Federal Way to put away dishes or to change a lightbulb. Q: I have two sons who play soccer in Federal Way, both at Thomas Jefferson High School. Every other school district in the area, including Kent, Tacoma, Bethel, Puyallup, Highline and Enumclaw all offer, at a minimum, junior varsity soccer. Some even offer a “C” team. So, why on earth does Federal Way Public Schools not offer at least junior varsity soccer? A: The answer is budget cutbacks in the early 2000’s, when the Federal Way school district eliminated the junior varsity soccer programs, which is a shame. The Federal Way school district has been a hotbed for soccer for a long, long time. Actually, it’s probably the hottest bed in the state of Washington for soccer, thanks to players like Lamar Neagle, Kelyn Rowe and

Sean Okoli. All three are currently on Major League Soccer (MLS) rosters. Also, the Thomas Jefferson boys program has won a state-record eight bigschool state championships, including the 2013 title. According to the emailer, during the last four years Thomas Jefferson has had at least 65 kids turn out on opening day. “Since Thomas Jefferson and Federal Way High School schedule their tryouts consecutively at Federal Way Stadium, I also get to witness the beginning or ending of the Federal Way tryout,” he wrote. “Federal Way also has at least 65 kids turn out. I have also been made aware that Todd Beamer and Decatur High School also have similar numbers of kids at their tryouts.” So, with Mr. Federal Way’s questionable math skills, that means a total of 240 boys are trying out for soccer at the four Federal Way high schools. There is also a rule that allows each school to only keep 22 kids on their roster.

That means a grand total of 152 boys are “cut” every year because the Federal Way school district doesn’t field junior varsity programs. That’s pretty sad and doesn’t happen in other non-cut sports like football or track and field. Mr. Federal Way is a big proponent of youth sports, especially at the highschool level. They teach great life lessons, including stuff like how to work as a team, leadership, don’t ever give up, despite the score, and being a good winner and a good loser, among thousands of other things. In short, sports make kids better citizens after they graduate into the real world. So, it’s a shame that 152 soccer players don’t get the opportunity to feel the pride that goes along with putting on their school colors and playing soccer. Like anything in life, the way to get changes to happen is to have your voice be heard. If you feel strongly that junior varsity soccer programs should be rein-

stated at the four Federal Way high schools, make some noise. There are school board meetings every other Tuesday nights and there is a sign-up sheet for citizens to speak. If you want junior varsity soccer back, sign up and make your case. Why couldn’t the four schools in Federal Way all field JV teams and just play against each other all season long? The cost associated with that would be minimal. Basically, it would be the hiring of four coaches, who make hardly any money to start out with, and the cost of referees. They could play all their games on fields owned by the school district. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what is your favorite book of all time? You are so good with words that you have to have some type of writing idol. A: None of your business.

Chris Flores (second from left), a senior at Federal Way High School, was chosen as the Federal Way Rotary Club’s “Student of the Year.” Also pictured are Federal Way Public School officials. courtesy of fwps when he came into high school four years ago, he wanted to do something that would let him “make my mark on high school.” He found that avenue by learning videography and being a constant presence at FWHS sporting events and other events. “I would make these videos and everyone seemed to just love them,

and I’ve been doing them for as long as I’ve been in high school,” he said. “It’s been amazing and I just love having this opportunity to be at school, to be with all the people there and to share the amazing education we all get.” Flores said he’s planning on attending the University of Washington, although he hadn’t yet de-

cided whether it will be at the Tacoma or the Seattle branch. He plans to major in computer science or engineering, but said he plans to continue with his videography as well. For more information about the Federal Way Rotary Club, visit www. federalwayrotary.org.

Kyoto STEM leadership trip passed here at a board meeting a couple of months back. It was very exciting, but it was a lot of work.” Steinmetz said for the first trip, FWPS students are going to “lead a STEM leadership program at an international school.” The theme of the STEM conference will be clean water and students will have the chance to put their brain power to the complicated but important issue. Along with this, Steinmetz and her colleague, Emily Orillon, are hoping the trip will “provide an opportunity for TAF Academy students for international relationships and experiences that will carry on into their university or career path, and connect global learning to real life.” It’s also aimed at immersing the students in the Japanese language more fully. “(The students) are very excited about it,” Steinmetz said. The second trip is part of the Kakehashi Project, where students from the US and Japan will switch places for a 10-day stretch.

The program is sponsored by the government of Japan, and its objective is to “promote deeper mutual understanding among the people of Japan and the United States, enable future leaders of Japan and U.S. exchanges to form networks and help young people develop wider perspectives to encourage active roles at the global level in the future.” “(The Kakehashi Project) is very different from the Kyoto STEM trip,” Steinmetz said. “It’s very formal and a lot of exchanges take place. It’s all about the exchanges, and they hope the young people from Japan and the young people from the United States will develop together and keep their relationships and their interest in each other.” FWPS students will head to Okinawa, Japan for 10 days, from June 10-19. The Japanese students will visit Federal Way and FWPS in mid-November. According to the district, there is no cost to the district for either of these trips. For the Kyoto trip, the funds were raised by TAFA’s

As part of Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) Global Learning Initiative (GLI), students from the Technology Access Foundation Academy (TAFA) will participate in two trips to Japan in coming months. The first trip is tentatively scheduled for April and will see eight students from TAFA traveling to Kyoto, Japan, as part of a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) leadership program. According to the district, the trip in April is still pending approval from the Japanese government. The second trip is set for June, and is part of a larger student exchange program, wherein 2,300 students from Japan and the United States will switch places for approximately 10 days. “We’ve been collaborating on these trips for about three years,” said Shan Steinmetz, a Chinese language teacher at TAFA, during a presentation to the FWPS board on Feb. 25. “This fall, it happened.

When you change your clocks forward one hour, take time to change and test the batteries in your smoke alarms. “Smoke alarms most often fail because of missing, dead or disconnected batteries so maintenance is a simple, effective way to protect you and your family,” said state Fire Marshal Charles M.

Japanese Club. The government of Japan is covering nearly all costs for the Kakehashi Project. “Students will be personally responsible for passports and incidentals,” district spokesperson Deb Stenberg wrote in an e-mail to The Mirror. “There is no cost to students or school.” “It’s so exciting to see this and to see opportunities for students because this is what the whole Global Initiative is about,” said board member Claire Wilson. “This is what needs to happen for our kids to be successful and save us from ourselves.” Board member Tony Moore said these trips are what the district envisioned with the GLI. “The hope was to see students actually getting out and around in the world, and learning that the world is bigger than Federal Way,” Moore said. “We’re excited to see kids, and a diversity of kids, getting this opportunity.” To learn more about the GLI, visit www.fwps.org.
