AGO files fraud charges

Sisters nab two cars on ‘The Price is Right’

BY GREG ALLMAIN

FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Attorney General’s Office filed felony charges on Monday in King County Superior Court against a Federal Way man the state alleges fraudulently obtained more than $15,000 from the state and federal government in three different schemes involving Medicaid, food stamps and social security.

The state alleges that during 2011 through August 2012, when the Medicaid client for whom he worked passed away, Han-Bae Kim fraudulently billed Medicaid for care when the client was out of the country and after she passed away.

The state also alleges Kim fraudulently used his client’s food stamp card to purchase items at Costco when she was out of the country.

Kim also allegedly deposited his client’s Social Security benefits into his own bank account from June 2012 until January 2013.

The Asian Counseling and Referral Service referred the case to the Attorney General’s Office via a Department of Social and Health Services provider fraud report.

Prosecutors with the Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) charged Kim with one count of first-degree theft, one count of second-degree theft; one count of unlawful redemption of food stamps and one county of Medicaid false statement.

ederal Way resident Mimy Evans, along with her sister Tammy Tu, were big winners on “The Price is Right,” with the duo taking home approximately $49,000 in cash and prizes from the gameshow.

Evans and Tu’s episode aired Thursday and Evans said she’s looking forward to the episode so she can remember some of the details that became blurry in all the excitement of taking part in a cherished American tradition.

“They hold up my name, and my sister’s name, and we start freaking out, jumping up and down,” she said. “And we realize, ‘Oh my gosh, we actually made it.’ We freak out, we go to the front, barely able to collect our thoughts.”

Evans said she can’t remember what the first item they got to bid on was, but did remember they barely missed winning. She noted they were in the second half of the show, so with that first miss, they only had two more chances to make it on stage to meet Drew Carey and see where luck would take them.

“The next prize was a set of four watches, and we bid and we got them. We freaked out, we go on stage, we hug Drew from both sides. And we’re jumping up and down. It was kind of a blur [ more PRICE, page 17 ]

Federal Way singer on ‘The Voice’ inspires single moms Single mom Ayesha Brooks, also known as Music Box, eliminated from show that aired on Monday

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way single mother Ayesha Brooks battled it out with other singers on NBC’s hit show “The Voice” this season and was finally eliminated from the second Battle Round that aired on Monday.

But her purpose for being on the show was bigger than winning.

“I feel like everything I do is for my son; every decision I make is for my son,” said 28-year-old Brooks of her 2-year-old son, John Alex. “The whole reason I even wanted to go on the show was to show my son what it looks like to pursue a dream. That was the biggest platform that I’ve ever had and it’s not about winning; it’s about pursuing a passion and being a voice for single parents.”

Brooks — who fans know by her stage name Music Box — learned the tough lesson about

making a commitment to pursue her dreams from her own mother.

When she was 12 and knew she wanted to sing for a living, Brooks was asked to sing “Oh Holy Night” at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Tukwila. But there was a bigger crowd than she expected when she got to the school.

“I started crying and I just was like, ‘Mom, I do not want to go on. I am so scared. I don’t want to do it,’” Brooks recalled. “And she took me aside and she goes, ‘I know right now you’re going to hate me and you might not understand this, but you made a commitment and I’m going to make you keep it and if you don’t want to sing after this ever again, you won’t have to. But when you make a commitment, you have to do that so I’m going to teach you to overcome your fear.’”

Brooks sang that night and said she’s glad she did.

“Fear is really crazy how it can paralyze you and how it can make you doubt yourself and make you feel insecure,” she said. “But the second that you step outside of yourself, you realize how strong you really are and that you’re greater than fear.”

It took an alter-ego to help her get past her stage fright, which she still had when she was 18.

Cooper is looking to be adopted from Simply Paws in Federal Way. Cooper is a sweet 10-month-old Mainecoon boy with beautiful golden eyes.

Cooper was surrendered to the shelter because his owner passed away suddenly and the nice folks at Rescuing Animals in Need (RAIN) are now searching for that perfect home.

Cooper is a sweet and very mellow boy for 10 months old, he talks to his neighbor kitty Stitch and does fine with other cats upon a proper introduction.

He loves gazing outside through the windows and watching people come and go, and would do best as an indoor-only kitty.

He’s litter box trained, uses his scratching post and loves to cuddle with people. He is a mild tempered boy you will enjoy meeting.

City acquires Brooklake property Department or city of Federal Way if incorporated, and/or the King County Parks Department or the State of Washington Parks and Recreation Department for use of said property for public perpetuity.’”

Roe noted that in 1994, the various interests entered into another agreement, where the city’s interest in the property remained “expressly stated.” The need for the city to step in came just recently, when the Federal Way Community Center Association dissolved as an organization, and that association’s president Wendell Kuecker felt the time was right to transfer the property.

The payment of those delinquent taxes was one request of Kuecker and his organization, Roe said, along with the recognition of Vern and Vera Frease for their long-term efforts at preserving the property and the historic buildings on the property.

The city did its required due diligence, and found that regardless of some existing issues, it appeared the property acquisition would be a net positive for the city. Roe said the city would be able to connect the property to the West

Hylebos Wetlands park that is adjacent to it, and would hope to create an educational/learning center on the property.

“I think it’s a great opportunity, falls right in the heart of the Hylebos watershed, and as you know, the Public Works Department and the Surface Water Management Division has a very active program with school children releasing salmon and learning about the salmon cycle and the impacts of the environment on that species of fish,” he said.

The historic preservation efforts were the only questions Council members had about the property, with both Councilmembers Susan Honda and Martin Moore asking what exactly is intended with any efforts at historic preservation.

“I don’t have a specific answer,” Roe said to Honda’s initial question.

“I know there’s a process and I think it would take some research on our part, to figure out what exactly is involved. Diana NobleGulliford is something of an expert in that area, and we hope to tap that knowledge and experience and bring it to bear on this question.

I think the buildings will

Where Federal Way began

There are few remaining sites in the city with as much historical significance as Brooklake. We are fortunate to have this opportunity to preserve the site as a park. Credit should go to former residents Vern and Vera Frease for maintaining the Brooklake site for so many decades.

Over the years, a long list of people have worked to bring Brooklake into the city, including King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, former Mayor Skip Priest, Jeanne and Jim Burbidge, Bob Kellogg, Chris Carrel and the Friends of the Hylebos and many others.

The final push was spurred by Wendell Kueker of the Brooklake Community Center, and Jerry Knutzen of the Historical Society, who approached me about the opportunity during the transition. Once in office, I reached out to Jerry and Wendell, and worked with city staff to quickly bring a proposal to the City Council. At its March 18, meeting, the Council authorized my proposal to accept the donation of the property and now

he Federal Way City Council unanimously approved the acquisition of the Brooklake property and to cover the costs of delinquent property taxes as part of the deal, during the Council’s March 18 meeting.

The historic property began in the 1920s as the Wagon Wheel restaurant and eventually became the Brooklake Community Center.

The cost of the delinquent property taxes was northward of $10,000, but previous arrangements, dating back to the mid-1980’s, meant the city had an interest in the property, according to Cary Roe, Public Works and Parks director who has since left the city.

“In 1983, Brooklake Community Center, Inc., leased the property to the Federal Way Community Center Association, a non-profit organization,” Roe recounted during the meeting. “In 1985, the Brooklake property was gifted to the Federal Way Community Association.

Both the lease and statutory warranty deed limit the sale or transfer of the property to the ‘Metropolitan Park

At my first City Council meeting in January as your mayor, I spoke about the importance of our community’s history and how it links us to the present and to our future.

I truly believe, as the historian James Burke noted, “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you are.”

That’s why I am so excited about the city’s recent preservation of the historical Brooklake Community Center that was donated to the city. Federal Way began as separate communities in places like Star Lake, Stone’s Landing and Redondo.

Over time, we coalesced into one community and have become the 11thlargest city in the state.

Brooklake is one of those places where Federal Way began to grow in the early part of the 20th Century. It began in the 1920s as the Wagon Wheel restaurant,

which soon faltered and entered a brief criminal career as a speakeasy. The place was rehabilitated as a community center after being taken over by a more community-minded group in the 1930s.

For decades after, the community center was organized by community groups like Rotary, Kiwanis and the Federal Way Historical Society. It hosted community events, dances, churches, weddings and spawned many significant public ventures.

On the building’s second floor, I found a 1940s photo of the building and on the back of the frame was handwritten, “Where Federal Way began.” Underneath that title, the text lists the site as the origin of the community’s first water district, first sewer district, first fire district and first community club. It was also the site of the first community library.

COMMUNITY

[2] April 11, 2014

The historic Brooklake property circa 1940. COURTESY CITY OF FEDERAL WAY qualify, but it’s a matter of what the process will be and the time frame associated with it.”

Roe added that it’s essentially a decision on how “formal” the city wants to be regarding historic buildings.

“I think there’s two levels here. One, the city can say we want to continue to preserve the buildings and maybe invest in them, so they don’t erode over time,”

he said. “That’s just a local decision that the Council could make. Stepping up to the historic register, it binds you a little more aggressively in regard to placement on the register and committing funds over the long run to make sure you’re preserving it, and as a result, being listed on that historic register. I see two levels there … I think it’s a formality in regards to the action.”

Brooklake truly belongs to the entire community.

The five-acre property sits near the corner of South 356th and Highway 99, on the southeast corner of the West Hylebos Wetlands Park. As a new city park, we will preserve Brooklake’s historical building and make the site more accessible to the public. Brooklake can easily be connected to the city’s ever-popular 120-acre West Hylebos Wetlands, with a small extension off the existing boardwalk. There is also an opportunity for the site to host a future interpretive center and environmental science classes for local students.

The future uses of Brooklake will be developed in discussion with the Historical Society, Friends of the Hylebos, the school district and the public. The first step in this journey, though, is inventorying and managing the site’s historical assets.

During my discussions with Wendell, he told me of an important artifact hidden in the Brooklake building. It was a 1940sera painting depicting

early Federal Way, which had been hidden away for decades behind a false wall.

Immediately after obtaining ownership, I had staff locate and remove the artwork.

We are working with the Historical Society to determine the history of the painting, but it depicts an 1890s logging camp of the type that used to operate in Federal Way at the time.

We will have the painting restored so that it can be properly displayed in the future.

In addition to this rich history, one of Brooklake’s lessons for contemporary Federal Way is worth contemplating. Brooklake exists today as a community asset because a group of community-minded residents worked to make something special. The Federal Way of today is the accumulation of many, many similar acts of community building like this. More importantly, the choices we all make today determine the future community that we are building.

Jim Ferrell is the mayor of Federal Way.

hen someone in the community is charged with a crime, the Mirror publishes a story detailing who the person is and what crime was allegedly committed.

But after those initial reports, what happens to the court cases?

Several people have contacted me in the past few months, inquiring about “whatever happened with this case” and “was he or she sentenced yet?”

The answer is, our staff is following these cases — closely.

Each week, our staff pulls out our list of court case numbers and checks the status of each case in the court system. Most cases will go through several hearings before a trial is set.

Some cases seem to drag on forever.

Take Gregory Reed Summers, for example, who was charged in March 2013 with a felony sex crime. Last November, the state Department of Health suspended the chiropractor’s medical license.

After several continued court hearings, a judge set Summers trial date for Jan. 8. Or so we thought. But his trial was pushed forward. Our case log indicates that his next hearing is scheduled for April 18, with a potential trial date of May 7.

This date could change again, depending on whether Summers’s attorney or the prosecutor needs more time to compile legal details. In the meantime, our staff will keep monitoring the case and let residents know when there is new information to report, or when the trial date is set, hopefully the next time for good.

Others have inquired about former school board president Tony Moore’s case. Moore was indicted in Oregon on seven counts of felony theft last September. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

His case is more complicated to cover, as it is playing out in the Multnomah County Courthouse in Oregon. Due to budget cuts, the courthouse there has only limited hours when our staff can speak with a court clerk. Multnomah also doesn’t keep online court records, like King County does.

Nevertheless, our staff has been following this case closely as well. In fact, Moore’s next hearing, known as a status check, happens on Friday, April 11. If the judge determines that the court will have a judge and jury available, Moore’s trial could begin this Monday.

Stay tuned for coverage of that trial, and others, as our staff wades through the legal proceedings.

Survey was cart before the horse The Mirror’s community survey on the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) that appeared in your April 4 issue was “the cart before the horse.”

You asked people to answer questions about usage, cost and a different project. The public doesn’t have sufficient information to answer these questions.

As for “how often do you see yourself using the facility,” there’s no roster yet of activities that will be there.

So how can anyone decide

Ferrell fares well during city address The purpose of the mayor’s state of the city address is to give the populace a report card on the city’s accomplishments. Mayors want the public to know what is going on, although admittedly slanted to only good things, it gives the voters a barometer. It is important to show progress, but at the same time, not to raise the bar so high that public expectations are unreal.

Typically, mayors focus not only on the people in the room, but the people who will read the newspaper accounts later.

But when it is your first major speech as mayor, the tone almost carries as much weight as the message and the people in the room take on more importance as they will repeat what they saw and heard.

Everyone, friends and enemies, want to see how the new mayor comports himself. After a few years, the drama will wear off.

But not this year.

This was Jim Ferrell’s first state of the city address as mayor.

When the public leaves the room to go back to work, they will remember three to five items of importance. But what they will remember most is the tone. Did they feel comfortable and confident about what the mayor and city were doing? And more importantly, did they feel the right decision was made in electing Ferrell?

For his first state of the city address during the recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Ferrell did well. He set a good tone with humor and had the advantage of the economy being in much better shape than it was a year ago. Former Mayor

Skip Priest had been plagued by a down economy and his speeches were necessarily more about cutbacks. Hardly fun topics.

Ferrell’s intent was to convey action and a sense of urgency in moving the city forward. He understands that in politics, symbols have meaning and he reminded attendees of his efforts to recognize the Seahawks, establish a Key to the City, change the color of the police cars and add new programming for the city-held channel 21. He referenced new ideas that his administration already has put in place, such as reconnecting City Hall with its neighborhoods and the previously announced addition of a downtown police substation. In the long run, the neighborhood program will pay the biggest political dividends.

But he also had substance. He announced that a new town square city park would be open by July, although it would be closer to $200,000, rather than the $100,000 that was discussed at the city retreat. The park will start the effort to refocus on economic development by establishing a separate position to concentrate completely on job growth.

But the well-timed highlight of the day was the unveiling of a picture found at Brooklake.

Hundreds of people have been trying to get that property into public ownership for years. To finally achieve that goal was a significant success for Ferrell as it provides the community’s link between past and present. It is a notable accomplishment.

Your survey asked if $32 million is too expensive. The Blue Ribbon Panel on the PACC will be delivering their report on May 8. That report will have an analysis of the pro forma, evaluation of funding for the project and the economic development benefit to the city. Until this information is made public, there’s no way an informed answer can be given to your cost question.

The survey asked if there was a different project the

city should be pursuing instead of the PACC. You did not ask respondents to include funding sources, cost of maintenance and operations, or usage of the ”different project” they would request.

Mr. Hiller’s commentary on the PACC does not recognize a basic responsibility of city government. That is to provide parks and recreation activities that are rarely selfsufficient. There is always a city subsidy, especially in the early years, to support such

projects, despite a recovery ratio that could be as much as 75 percent. I also disagree with his statements that the PACC will not improve Federal Way or help further development of the downtown.

Such projects have done all three in city after city, from Eugene, Oreg., to Bellevue and New York City.

We are already in the public/private partnership mode he recommends, since the city owns the land and has hired the designers to build the performing arts

portion of the project. Now we are working to site a hotel adjacent to the performance space and that will be the “private” element. Lodging tax funds for people staying in local hotels can only be used to promote tourism.

Such funds would qualify for maintenance of the PACC. Fundraisers in the early years have also been held to develop a stable fund base for maintenance and operations. We are marshaling all resources to make the PACC a valuable, efficient feature of Federal Way’s future.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ MUSIC BOX from page 1] what to do, it’s business, time decided to name myself Music Box.” When she transforms into Music Box on stage, belting out her genre of soul and rock, she feels like a superhero.

“Oh my gosh, it’s helped so much,” she said of her alter-ego, laughing. “I would say that it really describes who I am on the stage and it kind of feels like I am Batman. He’s another person in the day, but when he puts on that suit, it’s like he knows

to work. So I feel like Music Box is just an alter-ego, a good superhero name.”

Brooks has lived in Federal Way since she was 5 years old. She received numerous awards as a classical and jazz vocalist while attending high school at Life Christian Academy in Tacoma.

“Singing kind of chose me,” Brooks said, noting her grandfather was in a singing group who opened for Elvis Presley.

She left Federal Way in 2008 to pursue a vocal per-

formance degree at Berklee College of Music. After she expended her scholarship, she tried to figure out who she was as an artist.

“And that’s when I started to realize, wow, I’m from Federal Way and I need to put that in my artistry,” she recalled. “So that’s when I decided to sing soul-rock music. I have a soul voice, but I love rock because of the city that I come from, which is a beautiful thing.

Not too many people do soul-rock. We have Lenny Kravitz and, of course, Jimi

Hendrix came from Renton, so I think that really influenced me as an artist.”

She eventually put her music on hold when she became pregnant with her son.

But after moving back to Federal Way, she joined a Fremont-based rock band called Imagine the Giant.

That’s when a producer heard her voice and invited her to a private audition for “The Voice.”

On the show, Brooks started out on celebrity coach Shakira’s team.

“The whole reason why I wanted to be on team Shakira was because she is a mom, and although she has a man helping her, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be a superstar internationally and be a mom,” she said. “So I wanted to be on her team to get advice from someone that is living the dream that I want to live.”

But during the first Battle Round, Shakira chose contestant Deja Hall over Brooks after they sang “Eternal Flame” by The Bangles.

Celebrity coach Usher

saved Brooks, who saw the move as a “second chance.”

However, during the second Battle Round that aired on Monday, Brooks was eliminated.

She said the best part about being on the show was sharing the camaraderie with her fellow contestants.

She’s also enjoyed hearing from her fans.

“People have really connected to my story and they’ve really connected to the heart of who I am and I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

BEAMER AND TJ TO PLAY SATURDAY AT CHENEY STADIUM IN TACOMA The Thomas Jefferson and Todd Beamer baseball teams will have the opportunity to play non-league games at Tacoma’s Cheney Stadium on Saturday.

Beamer will be taking on the Auburn Trojans at noon and TJ will play the Liberty Patriots at 3 p.m. Auburn is coached by Decatur graduate and longtime Beamer assistant coach Justin Mentink. Both teams had to sell 350 tickets each to be able to play at the home of the Class AAA Tacoma Rainiers. Tickets will not be available at Cheney Stadium on Sunday. But anyone wanting to attend is asked to call Jefferson head coach Joseph Townsend at (253) 882-8688 for more information. According to Townsend, TJ grad and ESPN anchor Kenny Mayne is slated to throw out the first pitch before the 3 p.m. game between the Raiders and Liberty.

Track: Federal Way set to defend state titles

BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way High School track and field programs made history last year. For the first time in the long and rich history of the programs, both the boys and girls proved to the best of the best in Washington.

The Eagle boys, who were dominant all season long and the prohibitive favorites, set a meet record with 90 points during the Class 4A State Track and Field Championships at Mount Tahoma High School.

It was far more dramatic for the Federal Way girls. The Eagles won the state team title by the slimmest of margins, 42-41, over divisionrival Curtis.

The scary thing is, both Federal Way teams might actually be better this season, especially on the girls’ side.

The Eagles return junior Mariyah Vongsaveng, who was responsible for 33 of the Eagles’ 42 team points at the state meet. Vongsaveng won the individual state title in the 100-meter hurdles and finished fourth in the 300 hurdles.

Vongsaveng ran on a pair of relays, including the state-championship in the 4x100. The team of Gabriela Pelogi, Ta’Mara Richey, Vongsaveng and Karis Cameron won the title.

The same foursome, who are all back this year, was second behind Curtis in the 4x200.

Richey finished third in the triple jump and 11th in the long jump at state.

Federal Way also brings back state-placer Audrey Shin, who finished sixth in the high jump.

But newcomer Hannah Cunliffe might be the best of the bunch. The

senior has already signed a national letter of intent to sprint at Oklahoma University in the fall after putting together one of the best youth résumés in the United States.

Cunliffe finished up in fourth place at the 200 meters at the 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships in Ukraine for 16-17 year olds.

During the 2013 outdoor season, Cunliffe ran a personal-best time of 11.38 in the 100 meters and ran a 23.10 in the 200. To put it into perspective, Curtis’ Kennadi Bouyer won the 4A title in the 100 meters in 11.96 and ran a 22.84 to win the 200 at the 2013 state meet.

Cunliffe will be the overwhelming favorite to win state titles in both the 100 and 200. She already ran an 11.40 for Federal Way at the ultra-prestigious Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin on March 29. The time is best in the state by over a second and was good for second place in Texas.

After being homeschooled, Cunliffe enrolled at Decatur as a freshman. But an incident with a Gator teammate ended with Cunliffe being spiked. She left Decatur and returned to being homeschooled as a sophomore.

Cunliffe returned to public school before her junior year, when she enrolled at Federal Way. However, the WIAA ruled her ineligible for the track season because of transfer rules.

On the boys’ side, the Eagles return a pair of individual state champions in Keenan Curran and Tyson Penn. Curran won the 4A title in the triple jump with a leap of 46-1.25 and Penn won the high jump. As a freshman last year, Penn cleared 6-foot-8 to set an all-time, ninth-grade record in the state of Washington. Penn has already cleared 6-9 this season.

Federal Way senior Keenan Curran returns for the state-champion Eagles after winning the 4A title in the triple jump during the 2013 season. CASEY OLSON, The Mirror Mitch Stewart is back for the Eagles after finishing in sixth place in the 1,600-meter run.

Following the race, Stewart and his parents drove to the Tri-Cities, where he won his second-straight Class 4A state singles tennis championship last spring. Stewart lost only one match during his high school tennis career, which came to Jackson’s Michael Chamerski in the singles championship during his freshman season. He will play tennis in the fall at the University of Washington.

Also back are throwers JayTee Tiuli, Jared Pulu and Eric Ah Fua, along with sprinter/jumper Chico McClatcher and sophomore Jason Palmer.

The track and field talent is also impressive at the three other high schools in Federal Way, led by

Beamer junior Chante Spotser.

Spotser came very close to claiming the 400-meter state championship at last year’s state meet, finishing just three-hundreths of a second behind Bellarmine Prep’s Hannah Derby in the final. Spotser ran a 55.87, compared to a 55.84 by Derby.

Another state title contender will be Jefferson senior Kaya Warrior in the throwing events. Warrior ended up fourth in the 4A girls discus with a toss of 123-3 and was sixth in the shot put at (38-10.25).

On the boys’ side, Beamer’s Kerson Lubin should be one of the top sprinters in the SPSL. The senior has league-best times this season in the 100 (11.18) and 200 (22.69). Jefferson is lead by senior pole vaulter Ryan Austria, who has already cleared 12-1.

According to the report, the 15-year-old victim’s teacher, a woman described as in her 40’s, “sat on his lap while he was sitting on a chair” and that when he attempted to avoid her, she kissed him on his lips. The report notes the victim recorded a number of voicemails from the woman, in which she calls him “her love” and at one point says, “And what position between me and you?

What we can do after, I don’t know.” The victim was then contacted by the woman’s husband, who said, “I’ll find you. Our guys will find you.

Get away from me Satan,” the report continues. The victim was primarily more concerned with getting in trouble over the incident, rather than any safety concerns that may have

As part of the settlement, the facility agreed to purchase safety equipment and place it near hazardous chemicals for use in emergencies. The company corrected the reporting violations and paid a $16,347 fine.

“First responders depend on accurate chemical storage information

from companies during emergencies,” said Kelly McFadden, manager of the Pesticides and Toxics Unit in the EPA Seattle office. “These laws are designed to protect communities and first responders from hazardous chemicals in an emergency.”

The hazardous chemicals the companies stored have known environmental and human health impacts.

Other companies that corrected errors in reporting hazardous chemicals include Thermo Fluids, Inc.; TruGreen L.P.; Fleischmann’s Vinegar Company, Inc.; and Targa Sound Terminal.

Faulty recalled part may have caused car fire SOUTH KING

This month’s…

FIRE & RESCUE

Fire Roundup

1010230

In the month of March, South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) responded to 1,482 calls for help, including 43 motor vehicle accidents, 28 overdoses and five car versus pedestrian incidents.

The following is a roundup of some of the calls that South King Fire and Rescue responded to: Planting soil used as ashtray: A fire on March 24 just outside the city limits displaced four families from their homes when a person used a planter full of planting soil on their deck as an ashtray. The dry potting soil smoldered for hours and eventually caught the wooden planter on fire. The flames spread up the side of the apartment and entered the attic, causing extensive damage to the roof but little damage inside the homes. The roof will need to be replaced so the residents could not stay in their homes.

Potting soil is not actually dirt. It is organic matter and when it dries out it can burn.

If the soil is in a plastic or wood planter, the danger is increased as the planter itself can catch fire. Always use an ashtray and properly dispose of smoking materials.

Faulty part may have caused car fire: A car fire on March 10 may have been caused by a faulty part that was a part of a national recall that had not been replaced.

The truck was parked outside in the driveway and had not been driven for more than an hour. The car burned extensively but it was not in the garage or close to the house and no one was injured.

There are recalls for all types of consumer products issued on a regular basis and you can find them all at www. recalls.gov.

Vehicle crushes man’s leg: Among the 43 motor vehicle accidents last month, one involved a man in a parking lot in the

He was leaning onto the car engine compartment making some repairs when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward, crushing his leg between his own front bumper and a vehicle in the adjacent parking stall. Bystanders from a nearby coffee shop moved the

cars apart; firefighters treated and transported him to the hospital with a severely broken leg.

SKFR applauds those who see a need and take steps to help their fellow citizens by calling 911, learning CPR and offering assistance when it is needed.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Shari Song announced her candidacy for the Washington state Senate in the 30th District, joining Republican Mark Miloscia and fellow Democrat Roger Flygare in the race.

“I want to continue my community service by working for the values we all care about - educating our children, protecting our seniors and honoring our veterans,” Song said in a press release.

“In Olympia, I’ll fight for jobs and a stronger economy, improvements to our transportation system and bolstering women’s rights.”

According to Song’s campaign, she has some notable backers already, including long-time state legislator Sen. Tracey Eide, State House Speaker Frank Chopp and Federal Way City Councilmember Dini Duclos.

Song has already earned the endorsement of state Senator and Democratic Caucus Leader Sharon K. Nelson, who said that Song “is a strong candidate for the 30th District Senate seat and I am very pleased she is running to replace Senator Tracey Eide. She will be a strong voice for women, working families and small businesses in our community.”

Song and her family have lived in the area since the 1980’s, and raised their two sons in Federal Way, according to the press release.

While they’ve moved around the Puget Sound area in the time since, a need to be close to her husband’s elderly parents has them back in Federal Way and back in the 30th District.

Flygare believes the Legislature should embrace common sense policies and budgets.

“We need a responsible government as well as tolerance for all points of view. I believe in a free market system with sensible regulation and unobtrusive taxation.

Today, more than ever, we need a return of etiquette and civility in society and, more importantly, in the political realm. Washington’s Legislature needs more fresh sets of eyes looking at problems, both old and new.”

Flygare noted Miloscia served 14 years in the state Legislature and “during that time tax breaks for well-connected special interests continued to increase, while funding all trails lead to village Green for our children’s schools continued on a downward spiral.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed Rep. Roger Freeman’s bill into law last week that will give parents with disabilities the tools they need to keep their family together. WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES give parents with disabilities the tools they need to keep their family together.

If a parent with a disability is at risk of losing his or her child, House Bill 2616 will require the Department of Social and Health Services to give the case an extra look and

see if reasonable accommodation can be made to help parents keep their children.

The bill will also require the department to follow through and help parents come up with a plan to make sure they can access these support services.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Teaching kids the value of helping others

Q

: Mr. Federal Way, did you know that the Federal Way Public Academy (FWPA) is helping orphan kids in Kenya to receive an education? It’s such a great cause and such a great thing for the students of Federal Way to take part in.

A: Mr. Federal Way just read about the relationship between FWPA and the Crossroads Springs Institute in Hamisi, Kenya, on the Mirror’s website.

Talk about a worthwhile endeavor by the FWPA kids. Such a great thing.

Crossroads Springs Institute is a school for children who are impacted by the AIDS epidemic. It was established in 2004, and their mission is to provide care and support for orphan children, teaching them skills for eventual self-sufficiency.

The annual FWPA carnival raises more than $1,000 each year for the school. These donations have provided school uniforms, a water well, building materials for a new dormitory wing, physical education equipment, shoes, socks and school supplies.

Stuff like this is what school is for

— teaching life lessons and preparing students for the “real world.”

According to Mr. Federal Way, raising money for the Crossroads Springs Institute is way, way more valuable to producing a wellrounded student than any algebra test or standards-based grading could be. And that’s exactly what FWPA’s Community Service Learning program is doing.

FWPA has a steadfast rule that all of its students have to participate in the Community Service Learning (CSL) program, which is a pretty cool deal. Sixth graders must volunteer a minimum of 10 hours, seventh-graders have to give 20 hours and eighth through 10th-graders must volunteer 30 hours. They also have to complete a community service essay detailing what inspired them, the amount of time devoted and the impact of their efforts on both them and the community served.

Mr. and Mrs. Federal Way are always trying to teach our kids how lucky they are to be living where

they live. They take everything for granted, which is mostly the fault of Mr. and Mrs. Federal Way. This week’s spring break was a prime example. Mr. Federal Way had the unbelievable task of “forcing” the kids to turn off the XBox and go outside to play during the unseasonably sunny days earlier in the week. It’s so very frustrating.

“Dad, there’s nothing for us to do outside. We will go outside if you go buy us a badminton net. Can I take my iPad outside and watch a movie?”

Are you serious? Talk about firstworld problems.

Several FWPA students have had the opportunity to visit Crossroads Springs Institute students, who have shared their experiences with the FWPA student body. For more information on Crossroads Springs Institute, visit crossroadssprings. org.

Q: What needs to be done to stop all the rampant mail theft in Federal Way? The mailboxes at our complex are broken into on a weekly basis and now even the post office is closing early because of “security concerns.” The police have no authority since it’s a federal crime, so nothing seems to be happening to keep this type

of crime from occuring. These thieves are having their way in Federal Way and nothing is being done to stop them.

A: There’s not much more that Mr. Federal Way can add to your question. You pretty much said it all.

Mr. Federal Way doesn’t have a clue what to do about mail theft.

It is such a cowardly act to steal somebody’s mail. It’s an even more cowardly act when somebody steals your mail from a locked box. Talk about a wussy move.

According to the United States Postal Service, here are a few ideas to protect your mail.

• Use the letter slots at your post office to mail letters, or give them to a letter carrier.

• Pick up your mail promptly after delivery. Don’t leave it in your mailbox overnight.

• Don’t send cash in the mail.

• Ask your bank for “secure” checks that can’t be altered.

• Tell your post office when you’ll be out of town, so they can hold your mail until you return.

Mr. Federal Way knows these aren’t the answers you are looking for, but it’s all Mr. Federal Way has to offer. Good luck.

buffalo sauce, and now that I’m going to make the recipe, I cannot find it. Would you be able to email me the recipe?

A: Mr. Federal Way assumes you have zero access to the Internet?

But that can’t be the case because you asked Mr. Federal Way to “email” you a copy of the recipe.

In the future, you can search the Mirror’s website for past stories.

Just type in “spicy chicken wings recipe” and the old Mr. Federal Way story will pop right up on your screen.

But, as a favor, Mr. Federal Way will take valuable space and reprint the recipe just for you.

Place two cups of Frank’s Hot Sauce, 1/2-cup of margarine and one tablespoon each of dry parsley, dried onions, granulated garlic and ground sage in a pan over medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add five pounds of chicken wings to a 350-degree deep-fat fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Lastly, put all the wings into the sauce, dip in Ranch dressing and feel guilty after eating. You’re welcome.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, if you were being executed, what would be your last meal?

A: None of your business.

Coming out isn’t easy, World Vision or transgender, but who believes in equal rights for folks who do.

Imagine what it’s like for people who are gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender to come out to their family.

Their friends. Their employers. It’s unsafe, World Vision, as you discovered.

But sometimes people do it anyway, because it is true and right and they are tired of hiding and pretending to be someone they aren’t just because society doesn’t always embrace diversity.

And unlike you, it is not very feasible for actual, individual people to “undo” a coming out.

No wonder so many people still live in secret fear of publicly embracing who they truly are.

I’m disappointed, though. You see, our faith invites us to stand with people who are marAmy Johnson

ear World Vision, As you’ve recently (sort of ) experienced, coming out isn’t easy.

It takes courage. It is a risk that can open you up to ridicule and public shaming. It is certain to result in some people disagreeing with you, saying that you made a mistake in your choice of lifestyle, and even saying you are not really Christian.

These people could be your family, your friends — even people you thought might support you. This can happen even if you faithfully and prayerfully make the decision with the intention of creating more unity and less divisiveness in your world.

It can happen even if you’re “just an ally,” someone who doesn’t identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual

ginalized in our society — something a Jewish carpenter’s son did more than 2,000 years ago.

Jesus stood with the marginalized in his society over and over and over again. It got him more than ridicule; it got him crucified.

The prevalent religious leaders of his time loudly decried his audacity to defy their authority.

It’s possible, World Vision, to be a person of faith, a community of faith, even a faithful denomination, and embrace diversity as wholesome and good.

It’s possible, World Vision, to live and work in a spirit of love, and not fear.

It’s possible, even, for people to think for themselves and decide that continuing to sponsor a starving child across the world might be more important than religious politics.

In addition to the higher cost on the downtown park, adding two new highly paid director positions, and another permit staff, he also announced plans to potentially add six to eight police officers.

Some in the room were pleased with his follow through on campaign issues; others were busy totaling the cost of all the new programs and people.

Ferrell announced that the economy was strong and had provided approximately $1.6 million additional income.

That is close to the amount of new spending he outlined. And while the city’s economic picture is improving, suggesting it is “strong” may have been a little premature and overly enthusiastic, given Ferrell’s 91 days in office.

Also included in Ferrell’s emphasis on the city’s economic strength were several businesses that located in Federal Way during Priest’s tenure as mayor. It was only a few months ago Ferrell downgraded those same economic efforts.

Those were small errors in an otherwise very good performance. But political opponents keep track of things like this.

In his short time in office, Ferrell has made several improvements. Some were easy because of the improved economy. Some were harder and deserve more credit.

But it should also be noted that the city he inherited was much stronger financially than he expected.

He has done well so far, but these are the fun days for any new mayor.

Ferrell’s success will be decided by the hard decisions that still lie ahead.

you said you prayerfully considered for a year before publicly declaring. I’m sorry this divisiveness in our faith is affecting people in the world who are just trying to survive each day.

I pray for you and your leaders to have the strength to choose love and acceptance over exclusion and fear.

FUSION to open new Decor Boutique April 15

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

O

ver the years, FUSION (Friends United to Shelter the Indigent, Oppressed and Needy) volunteers have had to get creative about where to store surplus home decor items.

The non-profit organization maintains 17 homes in Federal Way and Northeast Tacoma for homeless families. Each of the homes are fully furnished before families move in, using items donated to the organization.

Volunteers have stored surplus decor items throughout several locations, including people’s garages.

“We noticed we were turning away a lot of great merchandise because of lack of storage,” said Peggy LaPorte, FUSION founder.

But the organization’s new Decor Boutique, set to open on April 15, will help solve this storage issue as the new store will sell these items. All proceeds from sales at FUSION Decor Boutique will also help fund the organization’s mission.

“The new boutique is a way to grow the organization, as well as a way to store surplus decor,” said Bob Wroblewski, FUSION board president.

LaPorte said their mis-

sion to get the boutique in operation was a two-year process, beginning with finding a good location.

The new business is located at 31823 Gateway Center Boulevard, next door to Marlene’s Market and Deli in Federal Way. LaPorte said the building’s owners worked with FUSION, so the length of the boutique’s lease is open.

“It’s been a journey,” LaPorte said. “We’re doing a lot of things we never had to do in the past. It’s amazing how volunteers came forward to assist just when we needed them.”

Volunteers stepped up to renovate the 5,700-squarefoot space, including painting walls, plumbing, placing tiles and creating panels to store artwork. FUSION volunteer Bob Favors also donated a truck to the organization that they will use to collect donations.

In fact, the new Decor Boutique is completely volunteer-run, said Karen Garvey-Zimmerman, boutique volunteer manager.

Volunteers work in fourhour shifts while the store is open, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The store is closed on Sunday and Monday.

Local companies have also chipped in to help, including Federal Way’s CTM Granite that donated tile and granite, and TNW, Inc., which donated commercial

grade epoxy floor paint.

The upscale boutique features decor items, ranging from lamps, antiques, art work, beds, antique chests and other furniture, tea cup sets and more.

LaPorte urges residents to call FUSION if they have decor items to donate and officials will schedule

a pick up. Volunteers have driven as far as Bellevue and Gig Harbor to pick up donations. People are also welcome to drop-off donations on Mondays.

“We need a constant flow of things coming in,” LaPorte said, noting the organization hopes to see an $80,000 net profit in the

Evans said they got to play the “Ten Chances” game.

In this game, contestants are given the opportunity to correctly guess the price of three prizes in 10 tries, with the final prize being a new car.

In Evans’s case, the new car was a Dodge Avenger.

Evans recalled that her sister immediately handed her the writing board and pen and she struggled with the game.

Her first prize to guess on was a pizza maker that it took three tries for her to get the price correct. The second prize was a karaoke machine, and it seemed as though some divine intervention took place, Evans recalled.

“This person … who’s in charge of the game in the back, he did something where he was supposed to move something over, and the card magically fell down and it displayed the real price of the karaoke

machine, so they gave it to us,” she said, disbelief still tinging her voice. “We’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is great.’”

Evans said that left them with three guesses on the car, and she took two guesses but was unable to nail the price of the car.

“We had one last try left, I’m looking at my sister in a panic, and she takes the pen from me, and she said she zeroed in on somebody, and she feels it was like a divine calling, that she knew what it was. She took the pen from me and wrote down some numbers,” she said.

“He pushes the button, and we got it right. And it was insane, and we just go crazy.

We actually won a car on ‘The Price is Right.’”

Evans and her sister’s run of good luck continued, when it came time to spin the big wheel to see who went to the Showcase Showdown.

On their first spin, they got .45 from what Evans can recall, and then on their second spin, hit .55, giving them $1 and adding $1,000 to their total haul.

In accordance with §58.15, a tiered review process has been structured, whereby some environmental laws and authorities have been reviewed for the target area and other applicable laws and authorities will be complied with, when individual projects are ripe for review. Specifically, the target area has been studied and compliance with the following laws and authorities has been established: Floodplain Management, Coastal Barriers Resource Act, and Coastal Zone Management Act. The City will complete a Statutory Worksheet, in accordance with Sec. 58.35. Copies of the compliance documentation worksheets are available at the address below.

An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project, and more fully describes the tiered review process cited above, is on file at City of Federal Way City Hall, 33325 8th Avenue S Federal Way, Washington and may be examined or copied weekdays 8a.m. to 5p.m.

All comments received by April 20, 2014, will be considered by the City of Federal Way prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Federal Way certifies to HUD that, Jim Ferrell, in his capacity as City of Federal Way Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Federal Way to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Federal Way’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Federal Way; (b) the City of Federal Way has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or in-

curred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be submitted to: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Seattle Field Office, 909 1st Avenue, Suite 200 Seattle, WA 98104-1000. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
