Couple fuels wish for young man with cancer Local couple brightens lives by fixing up cars

Young man, 18, gets Make-AWish fullfilled

avid Padilla smiled.

“I love it — it’s so sweet,” the 18-year-old said as his hands glided across the new ruby red paint of his 2006 Ford Mustang.

Smiles have become a rare occurrence for Padilla since he was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer in his knee, sarcoma, in October of 2012.

But on Wednesday afternoon, Bob and Linda Bjorneby presented Padilla with his biggest wish that he could dream up — a new and improved Mustang.

The Bjorneby’s took about three months to completely strip the paint from Padilla’s silver car, rip out the interior and make it over with new paint and accessories, including a new stereo system, sequential tail lights and a blacked-out dash with carbon fiber.

Padilla made his wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical

“It’s kind of like Pimp My Ride, but not as fast,” said Bob Bjorneby, a Federal Way auto collision repair specialist, when referencing his work with the Make-AWish Foundation over the last several years.

Bob Bjorneby, who owns his self-named CARSTAR Collision repair business in Federal Way, uses his skills to fix up the cars of young men who have been stricken with various illnesses, some serious, some not as, and some terminal.

“About four, five, six years ago, we got involved with Make-a-Wish … We were asked to do a rush wish,” he said. “A rush wish is one where there’s a life-threatening disease, and they’re probably not going to live much longer. We got into that, and did that one, and that took us about three months.”

According to Bob Bjorneby, Make-a-Wish gives people participating in these kind of projects a budget of $5,000. For that first one, Bob Bjorneby said [ more CARS, page 5 ]

Padilla was diagnosed with bone cancer during the middle of his school year, when he was a senior at Timberline High School in Olympia.

“He was a baseball player, so he was playing a lot of baseball games,” said his mother, Kari. “He got into a game and he hit a ball and he walked out of

have already enacted; or regulate, which Seattle and Des Moines have begun exploring.

“I think we need to look seriously at regulating, very seriously look at going to the state Legislature, to make sure the city gets

money,” Councilwoman Dini Duclos said. “I think that’s an important thing, we’re the ones dealing with any potential fallout, not the state. I think we should make that the top priority on our legislative agenda.” [ more COUNCIL, page 2 ]

“Even though the state may be licensing a business to operate within the city, it does not mean the city has to allow the business to operate, and the city can regulate where within the city that business can operate,” he said. Beckwith also noted that due to the presence of the gaming arcade in the Commons Mall, the downtown core of the city would essentially be off-limits to these kinds of businesses, due to the Liquor Control Board’s 1,000 foot buffer rule.

Beckwith presented a skeletal framework for regulation of these businesses to the Council, which the Council agreed should move onto the Planning Commission later this summer.

The city currently has a moratorium on such businesses until November.

Community rallies for girl with leukemia

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

T

he first sign of leukemia was the bruising that crept up 6-yearold Sienna’s legs.

Her dad and stepmom, Josh and Janette Braun, noticed it but chalked up the cause to bike pedals. She was learning how to ride.

But the second sign was what did it.

Two weeks after the bruising, Sienna went on a field trip to the zoo and Janette Braun was one of the chaperones.

“It was kinda odd because her exact words were ‘my body doesn’t feel right,’” Janette Braun said, adding that they figured it was just the flu.

Her family decided it was time to go to the emergency room after her temperature rose to 103.9 and her dad noticed little red dots on her arms called petechia - a symptom of leukemia.

There at St. Francis Hospital, the family would spend the hours of the night having Sienna do countless tests and blood work before being blindly sent to Seattle Children’s Hospital for more tests.

“We were [at Children’s]

for about two hours total before they finally told us what was going on,” Josh Braun said, noting the time was 5 a.m. “They told us she had [acute lymphoblastic leukemia].”

The next eight days were spent at Children’s trying to figure out the cause of the infection Sienna had caught. Doctors gave her a round of chemotherapy, steroids, antibiotics and she was given a port and a nasogastric tube.

“It was like five different medications twice a day that she was taking,” Josh Braun recalled.

But somehow during those eight days, before Sienna was allowed to go home, a family friend set up a gofundme.com account.

Her stepmom went to Silver Lake Elementary to let the office and teachers know Sienna wouldn’t be returning for the end of the year but she was surprised to find out they already knew. Not only did they know, but members of the PTA organized a bake sale during the kindergarten choir concert and all the funds would go to the family.

“Some lady baked 150

cupcakes and they had so much baked goods donated that just from the evening show of the kindergarten choir and after school the following day, they raised $1,990,” Janette Braun said in awe. “And then, to top that off, a third grade teacher matched it out of her own pocket - a third grade teacher wrote us a check for $1,100.”

The PTA also organized a coin drive at Buffalo Wild Wings where 10 percent of all sales (excluding alcohol) was donated.

Before they knew it, the community had rallied thousands of dollars to help them out.

“The financial help is amazing but what affects our family the most is how every single family and staff member has reached out in one way or another to show us support,” Janette Braun wrote in an email.

Silver Lake Elementary PTA co-president Julie Halpin said organizing the fundraiser to help the family was an obvious decision.

“It feels like a no-brainer to me in the sense that we are all at the school and we all have kids,” Halpin said. “I guess you just can’t imagine if it were to hap-

pen to your family or your children. You see somebody that needs help and your natural reaction is to help.”

Halpin said she sometimes substitute teaches and has been in Sienna’s classroom for a couple of hours before Sienna had to quit school. Also, her daughter was in kindergarten and would play with Sienna at recess occasionally.

“It just feels like if my family needed help, I would want somebody to step up to help too,” she said.

The Braun family currently has about $6,800 in donations.

The money allows Josh Braun, the primary breadwinner, to take time off work so he can be there for Sienna as she reclaims her health. It also pays for the thermometers, sanitizers, soaps, masks, air filters and the regular trips to the hospital - about $125 a week in gas for their V8 engine. Initially, Sienna had to go to the hospital every 48 hours to ensure her numbers were where they needed to be. Her blood platelets were under 10,000 - the normal count is about 150,000.

After David Padilla was diagnosed, things “rolled really fast,” said his mother, noting he started chemotherapy in the same week.

Once doctors removed the tumor from David Padilla’s leg, his prognosis looked good as the chemo had killed 99 percent of the tumor.

Eight more months of chemotherapy followed, and that’s when David Padilla and his family discovered the dark side of cancer. They lived at the Ronald McDonald House across from Seattle Children’s Hospital and he had to drop out of school.

“It’s like a big hotel with big community kitchens,” Kari Padilla said of the Ronald McDonald House.

On Wednesday afternoon, David Padilla, his parents and his siblings got a break from cancer and laughed as they ate hamburgers at Bjorneby’s Federal Way CARSTAR.

“This is amazing,” said his father, Dennis, as the Bjorneby’s unveiled his son’s new car. “It doesn’t even look like the same car we bought him. It was worth it seeing the smile on David’s face.”

The current wish is for David Padilla, 18, who was diagnosed with sarcoma, a form of bone cancer in his leg. The 2006 Ford

Mustang he brought with him is the nicest car so far the Bjorneby’s have had to work with.

The car underwent a radical transformation in the months since it was handed over to the Bjorneby’s in early spring. Bob Bjorneby conceded that Padilla’s “wish-list” was pretty big, but said he felt confident in his ability to get the job done.

Both Bjorneby’s say they’ll continue to say yes to Make-a-Wish in the years ahead.

“I’ll do another one and another one and another one,” Bob Bjorneby said with a smile.

“We’ll never say no to Make-a-Wish. The things they do are great,” Linda Bjorneby adds. “Make-aWish has our hearts.”

n a world in which everyone seems to think almost everything is broken in some way or another, it’s good to find a piece of the world that still works as advertised.

For me, this rare working part I found in recent months is police detectives. On both a personal and professional level, I have reason to thank local detectives for the hard, ugly work they choose to do.

In late February, my friend David Peterson was murdered, leaving behind his lovely wife, Kim, and her son, the child he helped raise, Kenny. David was murdered because a 17-year-old kid named Byron White decided he wanted David’s cellphone. David actually successfully fought off White and kept possession of his cellphone, at which time David dialed 911 to report the attempted robbery.

It was this move, according to White’s own confession, that led him to kill my friend.

A fatal crime like this in a city the size of Seattle will often go unsolved, but, thanks to Seattle Police Department detectives Cloyd Steiger and Jason Kasner, White was apprehended at SeaTac Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Atlanta. I had the honor of meeting them after White’s arraignment in March, and there weren’t enough thanks that I, Kimberly, or any of our other friends could give them. They were humble, saying it was their job, and also saying they were glad they could bring White to justice.

So, thank you detectives, for showing that something still works in this broken world.

Here in Federal Way, the community has Federal Way Police Department detective Jeff VanderVeer to thank for the eventual capture of Bernard Bellerouche, the prime suspect in the May homicide of DeMario Washington.

VanderVeer, along with the help of the US Marshals service and the Kennewick Police Department, were able to locate and bring Bellerouche into custody. An allegedly dangerous man has been taken off the streets of this community I have the privilege of covering for work, and I am grateful for that.

These detectives, and their successful work, are an important reminder to me that there [ more DETECTIVES, page 9 ]

Elect Song for state Senator I am writing to encourage people to consider voting for Shari Song for state senator (for the vacancy left

by Sen. Tracey Eide). Song is a lifelong Democrat and sees transportation and education as priorities. This makes so much more sense than her opponent who is busy worrying about what a woman does with her body.

I very much appreciate a quote of Song’s, “Unlike my opponent, I believe a woman has a right to make her own reproductive choices. I want the government to stay out of our private lives.”

For the last two years,

Bumps in the road to appointing school board member When informed that the newest member of the Federal Way Public Schools board was Hiroshi Eto, many school district observers said “who?”

But to those who followed the interview process, his selection was not a big surprise. It was expected.

The school board took applications to replace Tony Moore, whose resignation from the board has been well documented. Moore, who is African American, was one of two minorities who recently served on the board. The other was Angelia Griffin, who did not seek reelection last fall.

After Moore’s resignation, the remaining four board members appeared to be looking for several different talents when they cut the initial list to five finalists to interview. Three of the finalists have engineering or strategic thinking backgrounds. Eto was one of those, as was Richard Champion, who is also well known in political circles as an active Democrat.

A non-engineer candidate highlighted her experience and involvement with one of the districts schools as president of the Parent Teacher Association. The other candidate, Shelley Ko, owns a local television station with her husband and is well known politically and in the Korean community.

While some candidates were aware of a few of the controversial issues that plagued the district in

the past year, no one appeared to have significant knowledge of educational policy, budget challenges or prior investment in district issues or committees. Since two board members have only two years of experience and the other two only a few months on the job, the lack of highly involved candidates was a surprise. Also of note was that some of the candidates moved here recently or had lived here several years ago and have moved back.

However, with four caucasians on the board representing a community where more than 100 different languages are spoken, most serious followers of the interview process felt the appointment would go to a minority, although board members were also looking for skills that would fit their long-term planning needs.

The early line suggested that Ko and Eto would likely be the frontrunners and Champion could be competitive, as three of the incumbent board members are Democrats and likely knew Champion.

At the interview process three weeks ago, all five candidates received the same questions but in a rotating order to help equalize the opportunity for well-rounded answers. The lack of knowledge and in depth involvement in school policy issues was evident among the candidates, but each was [ more ROEGNER, page 9 ] Bob Roegner

Senate Republicans have stalled any progress on the transportation bill. We certainly don’t need another Republican who might very well do the same. If Democrats are to take back the majority, we need to elect Shari Song.

Catherine North, Federal Way

Vote out lawmakers who are NRA members The statistics are truly astounding. In 2011, the number of people who died

from a bullet fired from a gun was 31,940. Eight hundred fifty-one deaths occurred because people were stupid in handling guns. There were 19,766 suicides, many of which might have been prevented if it were not so easy to get a gun. There were 11,101 murders by gun, as well as 222 deaths from guns, for unknown reasons.

We don’t know yet what the statistics from 2014 will be, but the blood and bodies are already piling up because Americans are unable to be responsible with guns.

The extremely money-

larded lobbying of gun manufacturers and the money-engorged National Rifle Association are able to manipulate access to reliable gun violence statistics on the internet, even though internet users are supposed to enjoy “net neutrality” and we are constantly bombarded with pro-gun propaganda on American corporate media.

When a person kills another in the United States, 60 percent of U.S. homicides occur using a firearm, which is the 26th-highest rate in the world. In other gun-permeated countries, such as Finland (45.3 guns

per 100 people), only about 19 percent of homicides involve a firearm.

It is time for voters who care about public safety voters who care about being able to go outside of their homes to schools, universities, grocery stores, movie theaters, shopping malls, even churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship - it is time that voters who go to these places when they step outside of their door can visit these places safely without the fear of being shot dead by someone who has a gun and who definitely should not have a gun, because we are afraid of the National Rifle Association.

62 local students make their way to Hershey’s state meet FROM STAFF REPORTS

S

ixty-two elementary and middle school students will make their way to the Hershey’s State Track and Field meet on June 28 at Evergreen High School’s McKenzie Stadium in Vancouver.

This year’s meet will mark the last year of the event, both in Washington state and across the country, signifying the end of nearly four decades of positive experiences for the elementary and middle school students who have participated.

For this final event, Federal Way will be well represented, with Shyan Selah set to perform the National Anthem and be the keynote speaker for the meet. Selah is currently a recording artist and is also a former Hershey’s state champion.

“I am very honored and excited to be the speaker at this year’s state final meet,” Selah said in a press release from event organizers. “The Hershey’s Track and Field program was a huge part of my childhood … As a former standout athlete in both football and basketball, I can say there was nothing quite like what track and field taught me about life. This program provided an invaluable experience that reinforced the all-too-important attri-

butes of sportsmanship: self accountability, competition, discipline, teamwork … I can’t stress the importance of this sport and its unique culture for our youth.”

Barb Tight, who coordinates the state-level meet and has also been an integral part of the program here in Federal Way, said Federal Way will be well represented at the national meet in Hershey, Pa. later this summer.

“Hershey has touched the lives of many children in our community over the past 30 years,” Tight said.

“Several years ago we sent 21 athletes, out of 25 from our region, from both the elementary and middle school track programs to the national [meet]. We are hoping with the large numbers attending the state meet from Federal Way, a few of these young athletes will have the opportunity to compete nationally.”

Tight noted that taking first at state means the students move onto a regional section, which for Washington includes Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, British Columbia and Alberta. Competitors who make it out of the regional level are sent to Hershey on an all-expenses-paid trip to compete in the national meet.

Brigham said he’s headed to Arizona soon to get his official team physical, and then will head to Ogden, Utah to start playing Single A ball. The righthanded pitcher credited his success to his hometown of Federal Way, and all the baseball opportunities the city has to offer.

“I played National Little League, I got every opportunity I could from my coaches, and had a lot of good experiences,” Brigham said. “Coach [Mike] Church at Thomas Jefferson, he supported

me all the way along my career. Growing up in Federal Way made me the player I am today.”

In his final season at the University of Washington, Brigham was 7-4 with a 2.90 ERA. He began his 2014 season scorching hot, giving up less than one run each in his first six starts. He missed his 2013 season due to arm surgery, but appeared in 11 games in 2012, and 23 games in 2011 as a true freshman.

His final year at Thomas Jefferson he hit .447 with 18 RBI and 24 runs, while posting a .76 ERA, and was The Mirror’s “Male Athlete of the Year” for 2009-10.

We have to begin with our lawmakers at every level. If a lawmaker is a member of the association, they are unfit to serve the public and must be voted out. This is a beginning to ensure that public safety and the rights of people to live and be unharmed are not buried under the socalled rights of those who insanely believe that they have a God-given right to own a gun and carry a gun anywhere they please.

6 story building in an older neighborhood of one story homes was a ridiculous idea. The statements being made that this will not impact our already crowded schools or our privacy and safety including those who choose to live in those apartments are sadly mistaken and or misinformed.

On a personal note, I have worked years creating a peaceful and serene back yard that I can enjoy and relax in after working all day. Removing all of the trees that use to be an asset to the community as well as part of our mission statement when we decided to stand alone and become a city. The traffic impact alone on one of the busiest streets in Federal Way was stated as minimal. Really? Can anyone that lives in Federal Way believe that these units and retail are not going

to impact an already over used highway? I will be heartbroken to have to sell my home if what I believe to be our future comes to fruition with this project. I have researched online and found numerous negative comments and editorials as to the integrity of the projects and the longevity of the structures. There are many pictures of the before and now of these projects done by Devco. I truly believe that within 5 years this will look more like a run down tenement building than the pictures of pristine grounds and smiling people that we have been shown in the meetings.

At the end of the meeting, Ito seemed the most likely appointment. The board announced that it would go into executive session and meet a week later to finalize the appointment. At the next school board meeting a week later, there was a brief discussion about the process and a motion was made to appoint Eto and it

passed unanimously. However, in another surprise moment the board said Eto wouldn’t be sworn in until later in June.

After Moore left the board and Superintendent Rob Neu left town, the process to select a new board member had far too many bumps in the road to the appointment, suggesting Moore’s hand on the tiller the last three years may have been much stronger than some thought.

Decatur’s horticulture teacher retires

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Thousands of lawns and gardens are a little bit greener and brighter this summer, thanks to Justine McMullen.

McMullen, a horticulture teacher at Decatur High School, will retire this year after 28 years of service.

The generations of students who’ve taken her class in that time will carry a little piece of her knowledge for the rest of their lives – using it to make the world more brilliant.

University, and took her first teaching job at Decatur in the 1980s. There, she grew the horticulture program from barely a seedling into a flourishing career and technical education program – among the most successful in the region, school district officials said.

When she arrived, McMullen recalls working in two portables and a small plastic greenhouse with a dirt floor. Only three classes were offered each semester. Thanks to her leadership and the support of an advisory board, today’s horticulture complex at Decatur has a classroom, workroom, two storage areas, a walk-in floral cooler, two large greenhouses, outdoor areas and computers.

I just wish to express yet again how inappropriate this development is for Federal Way. Yes, we want positive growth for our city. Yes, we want a vibrant downtown core. We also wish to retain the character of our existing community - as is stated in the city plan.

How do five- and sixstory apartment/multi-use buildings fit in with a neighborhood of predominantly one-story private homes? There are a few

two-story residences and the condos that immediately adjoin the property, but four-stories, let alone six, seems like a quantum jump with very little concern for keeping the neighborhood “flavor” intact.

Please consider other options for this property.

Our traffic on 320th has already deteriorated in the last month or so with the adjustment to the traffic lights at 11th Place South and 8th Ave South. I loathe the day when there are 300+/- more commuters trying to get to their apartment homes with only one road in or out - onto 320th at 11th Place South.

Now with the most recent approval letter (issued June 4, 2014), the developer is pursuing all sorts of “modifications” to his original plan that on paper benefit only the builder and proposed buildings,

There also appeared to be some disorganization coming from the district office regarding the sharing of public information, which caused confusion with the public, candidates and media. Considering she has only been on the board herself a few months, President Carol Gregory did as good a job managing the process to a successful conclusion as one could expect.

But there was also some

questions raised about the legal compliance with executive session laws after both executive sessions conducted by the board were completed.

These are correctable missteps, in fact under a new law, the Open Meetings Act, training is required for most government bodies, including schools, and they do need to be corrected.

But the most critical concern was that the board

many things that would fit the neighborhood and location in a much more positive way than squeezing a large complex into a small piece of land.

not the existing neighborhood. The privacy and security concerns of the current residents - many of whom have lived 40 or more years there - are being largely ignored by the developer. The pedestrian access to 13th Ave South is unsupported by the homeowners as well as the future “cut-through” road to the alley in back of Best Buy, Joann Fabrics, H-Mart, et al. Will the city simply declare eminent domain and take the two homes from long-term residents to push the new road through? That hardly seems like “preserving existing neighborhood [as] an important community value in Federal Way.” Please reconsider the proposed monstrosity slated for this property.

Habitat For Humanity completes two more Westway homes

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

V

olunteers and members of Habitat For Humanity have slowly rebuilt, reshaped and renovated the Federal Way Westway neighborhood one house at a time.

And this month, the community rejoiced as their 47th and 48th rebuilt houses in Westway were dedicated to the families that spent “250 hours of sweat equity” working to make those houses homes.

The last two completed the goal of 10 and were all built under a 2011 federal grant awarded to Habitat for Humanity by the city of Federal Way. “This is more than just a celebration of the two houses, it’s kind of a celebration of the whole project,” said Shelley Pauls, a longtime Habitat For Humanity volunteer.

Westway’s makeover began in 2002 when the Build a Bridge Community Coalition was formed by businesses, educational organizations and nonprofits. Habitat Seattle-King County, AmeriCorps, Franciscan Health System and the city were involved as well. Their mission was to “drive out crime and improve the living conditions in the neighborhood.”

Starting in 2005, 38 homes were repaired or renovated by 2011.

“It’s exciting to see the neighborhood growing again,” said Councilwoman Susan Honda, a longtime advocate of the project.

“There are young families moving in, kids playing in the yards, and the neighborhood association is getting stronger. Habitat For Humanity’s work in Westway, and their partnership with the city, is one of the reasons for the neighborhood’s resurgence.”

Prior to 2005, Westway homes foreclosed and many were left as spots for criminal activity, such as illegal dog fighting, assaults, gang activity, drug trafficking and reckless endangerment.

But city officials saw the success from the initial work - crime was starting to decline and was being replaced with a sense of community. In turn, they awarded the Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant of nearly $1.7 million to the local Habitat For Humanity organization for the 10 homes.

“It upgraded every neighborhood as a home was redone,” Pauls said of the foreclosed Westway homes. “All of that had to help.”

Pauls and her husband have volunteered with Habitat For Humanity since 2012 as members of the Overcomers Covenant Church in Auburn. They’ve helped every second Saturday of the month since then. Pauls said her favorite part is getting to know the volunteers and family members they help out.

“The relationships and the fun feeling of giving to the community has been a very positive experience,” she said.

Volunteers “completely

The two houses were dedicated to the families on June 7.

According to a Habitat for Humanity spokesperson Lisa Samuelson, David and Elizabeth Yonah, originally from south Sudan, recently moved into one of the last two Westway houses with their four children ages 3-12 years old.

Their country was “embroiled in a civil war that involved gross violations of human rights and serious violations of humanitarian law on a massive scale” when they left nine years ago.

The family arrived in

91 displaced after apartment fire

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

S

outh King Fire and Rescue firefighters battled an early blaze on June 13 at a Federal Way apartment complex, where 91 people were displaced and many residents were rescued from their balconies.

The two-alarm fire began before 1 a.m. at the Crestview West Apartments, at 27912 Pacific Highway S. Residents on the upper floor were forced onto their balconies by smoke and flames, said South King Fire Lt. Jeff Bellinghausen. He noted those residents could not escape via the stairwells in the apartment building because they were charged

Tug of war over Metro continues FROM STAFF REPORTS

The tug of war over King County Metro and its funding continued last week, as King County Executive Dow Constantine vetoed a King County Council measure that would have begun cutting Metro service in September, but had held off on further cuts in 2015 for the time being.

“We need a reliable way to pay for bus service - but until then, we shouldn’t spend money we don’t have,” Constantine said in a press release from his office. “We shouldn’t use onetime money to pay ongoing expenses, and decisions to save or cut service should be based on objective criteria and data, not on politics. This ordinance falls short on all counts. I must respectfully veto this legislation, and ask that the Council keep working on a solution that is responsible and sustainable.”

The Council ordinance, which passed 5-4, was characterized as “writing a big check without enough money in the bank” by Council Chair Larry Phillips.

“To operate the nation’s 10th-largest transit system, carrying 400,000 riders a day on 1,300 coaches, requires thoughtful planning and fiscal responsibility,” Phillips continued. “Unfortunately, while the legislation passed today strives to be thoughtful, it fails to be responsible. It is based on

with smoke, as the stairwell’s hallway doors were left open.

Bellinghausen could not confirm how many residents were rescued via ladder trucks.

One resident suffered an asthma attack from the smoke, however there were no physical injuries, Bellinghausen said.

Crews also evacuated a nearby apartment building because the fire was so close, he added.

Bellinghauser said 32 of those displaced residents were taken to the Federal Way Community Center, and the American Red Cross helped those residents find lodging at nearby hotels and other places. The other displaced residents found shelter

hopes and guesses, rather than on revenue that can be counted upon.”

Joe McDermott, who heads the Budget and Fiscal Management Committee for the Council, said the vetoed motion went outside of the scope of the Council’s strategic plan.

“Our strategic plan exists to take the politics out of bus route decisions.

The ordinance adopted today is irresponsible and takes us off this path and does little to immediately address Metro’s ongoing revenue shortfall,” he said.

“I’m hopeful we can find a more fiscally responsible path forward that keeps as many busses on the road as possible.”

In Federal Way, the September round of cuts was anticipated to only affect Route 152, which runs along 272nd Street. According to the city’s senior traffic engineer during a May 6 presentation to the city Council, Federal Way would start being impacted by the proposed Metro cuts in February 2015.

25th Annual Flag Day FROM STAFF REPORTS

King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer and the Federal Way Soroptimists hosted South King County’s 25th Annual Flag Day Celebration on Saturday at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

South King Fire and Rescue firefighters battled a blaze on June 13 at an apartment complex. COURTESY SOUTH KING FIRE AND RESCUE with family and friends.

American Red Cross volunteer Maggie Burke said the shelter would stay open until everyone affected by the fire has found a place to stay.

Investigators will deter-

mine the cause of the fire, which they said started in the kitchen of a third-floor apartment unit.

Bellinghausen said the entire 27-unit apartment building is a “total loss.”

For 25 years, this annual celebration has provided South King County community the opportunity to honor current and fallen military personnel, and the flag itself.

Three students read their winning essays about the importance of the United States flag and what it means to them. Fourth grader Caleb Johnson and seventh grader Linnea Johnson, both home school students, and seventh grader Cosette Clum from Sacajawea Middle School, were given awards for their essays.

Staff Sargent Armando Mejia, USA retired, was the keynote speaker. In 2004, he received a Purple Heart and was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge for actions in Operation Iraq Freedom and the Warrior Transition Battalion at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. He currently serves as fan development international outreach manager for the Seattle Seahawks and coordinates Seahawk player visits to military bases, including Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Mejia spoke about how the military changed his life and the importance of what the flag means to him. He described his struggles early in life, the pride of being a soldier, and the connection his name has with the military. Mejia explained the Spanish translation for his name, Armando, translates to “Soldier.”

Major Jeremy Nelson also gave a special address.

Nelson spoke about how meaningful the United

States flag is to him. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom until October 2003 as the rear detachment Battalion Commander. He joined the Washington State Army National Guard in April 2001 and currently serves as the 66th Theater Aviation Command Assistant G4.

“Freedom is not free,” said von Reichbauer, who served in the U.S. Army.

“And this day gives us the opportunity to honor those who have served in the military and to recognize public service. The American flag represents not just our freedoms at home and abroad … it represents the hopes and dreams of generations yet to come.”

Volunteer drivers needed FROM STAFF REPORTS

Getting to the doctor’s office can seem daunting for many local seniors.

Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving, limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus, taxis come with prohibitive costs and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help.

Yet, since 1975, Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation has served as a trustworthy resource for older adults throughout King County. With its force of reliable volunteers, the program provides the missing link between seniors and their necessary medical care.

You can help more seniors get “on the road” to improved health and peace of mind. More volunteer drivers are needed throughout King County.

If you have a reliable vehicle, clean driving record, and some weekday availability, this is the role for you. Call 206-748-7588, email Hilary at hilaryc@seniorservices. org, or visit www.seniorservices.org/transportation to find out more.

Local man takes product to Taste of Tacoma

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

W

hile his product seems a bit unusual for Taste of Tacoma, Federal Way resident Michael Garcia is hoping he’ll be able to sell all 3,000 of his “fun bricks” at the Taste, which runs from June 27-29 at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. Garcia’s fun brick is essentially a foam brick with a small digital sound device inside of it, one which he believes would be great for sports teams and other similar ideas. Garcia says the plan is to still use whatever revenue streams that can be raised from the Fun Brick to help out those most in need.

“We’re just trying to create a revenue stream to help single moms,” he said. “At the end of the day, whenever that day is, we want to start putting money into a fund to help single moms.”

In an interview with the Mirror last August, Garcia elaborated more on what the plan is for the Fun Brick. “”We see that there’s a huge need, in the economic downturn like we’re in now…The ones that get hurt the most, are always

We welcome your letters email us at: letters@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way resident Michael Garcia created Fun Bricks as a way to fundraise for single mothers. The brick is made of foam and has a small digital sound device inside. Contributed single moms with kids.

Because it’s either welfare, or they’re Section 8, or medical for the kids or for them, or schooling for them,” he said last August.

“Those are five things right there that affected them, and not one of those things affected me at all. (This) has been in our hearts all these years, and I thought a better way to do this is to create somewhere where it will sustain somebody. Because the state of Washington, they can only do so much.

And their hands are tied by all their rules and stuff like that. We’re not in this to make money for ourselves.”

For anyone who visits

Garcia’s booth at Taste of Tacoma, they’ll be able to buy a Fun Brick for $10, which is a relatively reduced rate for the product.

Garcia also said that part of his next step for the project is to set up a page on the popular crowdsourcing fundraising site, GoFundMe. He’ll have different levels, with the basic level beginning at $25, which earns a person a single Fun Brick. The levels will increase, with some impressive rewards along the way.

Garcia is slated to be in vendor stall 50 at the Taste of Tacoma. For more information on the event, visit www.tasteoftacoma.com.

2014 GRADUATES

Federal Way graduates get big scholarships

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

T

he class of 2014 clearly brought the heat this year with a total of $11.2 million in scholarships earned by Federal Way students.

And while not all of that scholarship money will be utilized as students pick one college over others, the amount is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the six public high schools’ collective student bodies.

Some of the largest scholarship funds were accepted by Federal Way High School graduates Keenan Curran ($450,000 to the Air Force Academy) and Joshua Dawson ($200,000, renewable through his doctorate degree, to go towards the University of Washington), and Todd Beamer High School graduates Ben Hinkle and Blake Hansen (about $300,000 each for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point).

After getting phone calls from three Ivy League colleges - Princeton, Yale and Harvard - for football, Curran chose to utilize his $450,000 scholarship for the Air Force Academy.

“My uncle was in the Air Force, he’s retired now,” Curran said. “And my mom’s a single mom so I definitely focused in on getting an education and making sure I was secure financially and that when everything else is done, I’ll be good if football doesn’t work out.”

Curran ran track and played safety and quarterback for the Federal Way Eagles throughout his high school career. Although he initially committed to San Jose State University for football, he said the idea of being in the military and possibly

getting deployed are aspects he says are for a good cause.

The Air Force Academy has a 9.9 percent acceptance rate, something that Curran doesn’t take lightly.

“You always see athletes struggling in school, they don’t have a good SAT score to get into wherever they want to go,” Curran said, noting his 3.4 GPA in AP classes. “But in my case, it was, like, my school opened up opportunities that other guys didn’t have.”

Curran attributes his success to a lot of hard work on the field and studying in the classroom, but also to his mom and God. “One thing I never wanted to do was make excuses for the circumstances I’ve been in,” he said. “ … Nobody’s entitled to anything. Even if you’re having a bad day, somebody’s having it worse.”

Although Curran will be playing football and does have some aspirations of making it to the NFL, laying the foundation for a future family, even if football doesn’t work out, is his main goal.

Working toward a bachelor of science degree, Curran said he’d like to major in some type of engineering but is also attracted to law. Nevertheless, he does know he’ll be staying in the military for 20-25 years so that one day he can “buy a lake house, a boat or some jet skis” and be able to support his future family.

“When he was in sixth grade, he looked up the classes he needed to take to get admitted to the schools he wanted to go to,” said Curran’s mother, Shannon Curran. “It’s been amazing, this place is great. All four of my kids have graduated from here.”

Curran’s mom works at

the high school as a paraeducator for the socially, emotionally and behaviorally challenged students.

Curran also attributes his success to the opportunities Federal Way High School, along with the school district, has given him.

“I don’t think there’s another place like it in the state of Washington,” Curran said of his high school. “…

I know I can walk the halls and there’s teachers from classes I never had, and they’re saying ‘Congratulations for your accolades.’ It’s a community and family in itself.”

Dawson, also a Federal Way High School graduate, thinks highly of the school system for bringing him where he is today.

“There’s so much diversity in the school system and the teachers that are there truly want to be there,” said Dawson, the former Associated Student Body president of the school. “It’s just a beautiful thing to see that you don’t really find elsewhere.”

Federal Way High School staff supported Dawson’s efforts to expand We Scare Hunger, a Halloween event meant to combat hunger one nonperishable food item at a time.

Dawson’s brother started We Scare Hunger his freshman year of high school, but Dawson was able to grow the turnout his senior year.

Dawson said he used a lot of city and school resources, and 300 student volunteers to collect 10,000 pounds of food last Halloween.

The organized food drive led Dawson and his brother to WE Day, where they gave a speech on their efforts to 15,000 students. Other speakers included Martin Luther King, Jr. III, Edward Norton, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Russell Wilson.

“The energy was unbelievable,” he recalled.

Dawson has spoken at other conferences, such as with the Federal Way Rotary,

Hinkle said he’s interested in studying military sciences or engineering for his bachelor of science degree.

Hansen will also take advantage of the large scholarship and world-class education at West Point. After a veteran’s assembly had him “feeling patriotic,” Hansen applied with a nomination from Congressman Smith and Sen. Patty Murray.

“Right now, it hasn’t really hit me yet,” he said, adding that he’ll be the first one from his family to join the military. “I feel when I get out there the first day will be tough and I’ll be thinking why did I do this but it’ll be good.”

Hansen also believes his AP classes at Todd Beamer helped him prepare for college and it’s a “great school as long as you take the challenging route.”

Hansen hopes to study astro-space engineering.

The school was helpful in having a tutor come out to Sienna’s home before she graduated kindergarten.

“Her teacher jumped right all over it so she [was] coming twice a week along with other teachers,” Janette Braun said. “All these teachers keep sending messages, ‘Can we come see her,’ and they’re just so hands on, it just amazes me.”

With a survival rate of about 90-95 percent, Sienna is technically cancer free and in remission but there’s still two-and-a-half more years of treatment to catch the “hidden” cancer cells.

Josh Braun said the hardest part has been watching her go one day running around like his “typical little Sienna” and then later watching her have trouble go up and down the stairs because of low energy.

“She wasn’t a big fan of losing her hair, that was the hardest part,” Janette Braun said. “She’s been amazing, I don’t think I could have handled it as well as she has.”

Janette Braun said many of her daughter’s classmates also had a tough time seeing Sienna when she went to visit the school. “… Her classmates came in and a couple of them were really upset, a couple of them started crying,” she said.

“They said, ‘When I think about Sienna at night I cry and it makes me sad,’ and I said, ‘That’s OK to cry, she’s going to be OK.’ They worry about her, they ask about her all the time and they all have these bracelets that we made that say Sienna Strong.”

Josh and Janette Braun say the family finds comfort in knowing Sienna’s aunt Margie is watching over as a guard-

HUD OKs $3 million loan fund to spark city’s economic development FROM STAFF REPORTS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved a $3.03 million loan guarantee which the city of Federal Way sought to establish a loan fund to assist catalytic projects that spark business growth, job creation and affordable housing opportunities.

The $3.03 million could be put toward a variety of projects in Federal Way, including the Performing Arts and Conference Center, according to city officials.

The loan guarantee is provided under HUD’s Section 108 Loan Guarantee Assistance program, which enables local governments to borrow money from private investors at reduced interest rates.

In return, the local government pledges current and future Community Development Block Grant allocations it receives annually from HUD to cover the loan amount, as security for the loan.

This is the first time that Federal Way, an entitlement community under HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program, has decided to use the Section 108 program.

The Federal Way Council was split on using the program last year, as some Council members feared the city would pick up extra debt to finance projects.

The Silver Lake Elementary community recently raised money for Sienna Braun, 6, who is battling leukemia. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO ian angel.

Margie Walter lost her battle with triple-negative breast cancer in 2012 when her liver started to fail while vacationing in Hawaii. Fortunately, she was able to fly home in a private jet with medical staff through $60,000 raised by friends and family.

She passed away the afternoon she arrived home surFederal Way now has 12 months to identify what projects the loan will fund. The city is currently working with the National Development Council to vet and review those projects.

This process includes a public hearing and final Council approval, said Jay Bennett, community services manager for the city, in a story the Mirror published in March.

“I am pleased to see HUD’s approval of the Section 108 loan guarantee sought by the city of Federal Way,” said Congressman Adam Smith. “By allowing cities to leverage their Community Development Block Grant dollars to invest in economic development initiatives that benefit low and moderate-income communities, the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Assistance Program has had inspiring success in many areas throughout the Puget Sound. I look forward to seeing Federal Way engage in this important public-private partnership, and I will continue supporting the program in Congress.”

A number of other communities in Washington state have made use of the program – the city of Seattle to launch a capital access fund for small businesses; King County to develop the White Center commercial center; Mt. Vernon to protect its downtown from Skagit River flooding; Tacoma to help finance the LeMay Museum of the American Car; Olympia, Yakima and Lakewood to start economic development loan funds.

Nationwide, the Section 108 program has generated $4 of private investment for every $1 in Section 108 guarantee.

“A Section 108 loan guarantee is a tool that significantly

“She’s watching over us,” Josh Braun said of Margie, his sister. “[Sienna] loved her auntie Margie. When she was losing her hair we were able to show pictures of her auntie with her bald head and we were able to show her pictures of her when her hair was growing back.”

Janette Braun said the situation has brought her large family of five children closer together.

“My oldest daughter, who’s 18, while Sienna was in the hospital, she was helping pick up and drop off the other two boys and fixing dinner and the boys were helping out around the house and they all just stepped up and I think it pulled us together,” she said. “If you have to find something positive about it, it pulled our family closer.”

Although shy to speak, Sienna’s looking forward to plenty of backyard camping and marshmallow roasting this summer with her dad, getting her custom real-human-hair wig, being able to hold her new bearded dragon pet and returning to school as a first-grader some time next fall.

And eventually, after she’s finished the two-and-a-half years, a trip to Disney World is a big possibility, which would be provided by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Braun’s next fundraiser will be from 4-10 p.m. on June 28 at Carriage Square Sports Bar and Grill in Kent.

Seahawks, Husky and Mariners tickets have been donated for the raffle, along with backstage tour and orchestra seats for the Nutcracker. A silent auction and Sienna Strong support bracelets will also be available at the event.

The Section 108 loan guarantee program permits Community Development Block Grant entitlement communities to borrow up to five times their latest block grant allocation for projects that either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons or aid in the elimination or prevention of slums and blight.

In recent years, Federal Way’s Community Development Block Grant allocation was approximately $600,000. The city will divert $175,000 of that amount towards the loan fund.

The funds generated by a Section 108 loan guarantee may be used for many things, including economic development activities eligible under the block grant, acquisition of real property and housing rehabilitation eligible under the block grant.

Sound Transit to hold public hearing in Federal Way FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Sound Transit board recently called for more public input on the future of mass transit as the agency published a draft supplemental environmental impact statement in preparation for updating the regional transit long-range plan.

The updated plan will serve as the blueprint for future regional mass transit measures after more than 30 miles of voter-approved light rail expansions are complete in 2023.

The region’s mobility and economy depend on moving more people on mass transit as its population climbs nearly a third by 2040.

Details on the draft statement, including the full document, are available at soundtransit.org/longrangeplan.

The comment period for the statement will extend through July 28. On July 8, Sound Transit will kick off a series of six public hearings and open houses around the region.

The public hearing in Federal Way will be from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16 at Truman High School, 31455 28th Ave. S. In addition to the public hearings, there are also several methods for the public to provide feedback through July 28: • Email comments to LongRangePlan@soundtransit.org • Mail comments to Sound Transit, Attn: Karin Ertl, 401 S.

Q&A With Mr. Federal Way: Town Square Park quirks and perks Q

: Mr. Federal Way, did you know the city bypassed the Parks and Recreation Commission process for the Town Square Park? If you didn’t, what do you think of that?

A: Mr. Federal Way had not heard that actually, but Mr. Federal Way doesn’t find it surprising.

As anyone who’s been paying attention in the last couple of years should know by now, city leaders are desperate to get the downtown core area finally moving.

City spokesperson Chris Carrel noted this in a response to the Mir-

ror regarding this issue, writing in an email that “ordinarily, a park project would start with the Parks Commission. While this isn’t a requirement, the commissions were established to enhance the opportunity for public participation in the process and their role is highly valued.”

However, Carrel noted, giving the Town Square Park to the Parks Commission likely “would’ve added another three to six months, which could’ve ended pushing the park opening into 2015.” Carrel added that Mayor Jim Ferrell, along with the

Mayor gives Key to the City to Mary Gates

from 1994 to 1995 and was involved in a vast array of projects, including the formation of the Federal Way Police Department, Celebration Park, Dumas Bay Center and the Community Center.

Gates is well known regionally for her expertise in transportation.

She served on the Sound Transit board for many years and was instrumental in Sound Transit’s plans to include Federal Way on the transit line and construct the downtown Transit Center.

In addition to her role as a city official, Gates has been deeply involved in community organizations vital to Federal Way. Her first prominent role was as one of the founders of the Friends of the Hylebos, which led to preservation of the West Hylebos Wetlands, now one of the city’s best loved parks, according to city officials.

After leaving the City Council, she led the growth of the Federal Way Symphony during seven years as the organization’s

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Former mayor, city council member and community builder Mary Gates received the Key to the City from Mayor Jim Ferrell at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

The award came in recognition of Gates’s depth and breadth of contributions to Federal Way over the past 40 years.

“Mary Gates is Federal Way’s indispensable utility player. She has played so many important roles in four decades that it’s challenging to find a corner of this city that she hasn’t turned her golden touch on,” Ferrell said.

Gates was a member of the citizens committee that worked for city incorporation, was elected to the first City Council and served until 2003.

During that time, she served as appointed mayor under the council/manager form of government

Council, “felt strongly that we needed to engage a process that led to a summer 2014 opening.”

In short, Mr. Federal Way will begrudgingly tip his hat to Ferrell for showing actual leadership in this political age of consensus and commissions, and actually following through on a campaign promise for once.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, did you hear about the features in this Town Square Park? Life-sized chess pieces? Really?

A: Mr. Federal Way has heard about the various features slated for the Town Square Park. Mr.

Federal Way thinks it’s a case of white-collar sensibilities of city leaders clashing with the blue-collar reality of many of the city’s residents.

Thankfully, Mr. Federal Way knows that the original plan included bocce ball courts, which, to Mr. Federal Way, would have been, well, absurd.

Mr. Federal Way is also leery of the idea of having these kinds of features in a place that the city knows

is already one of the areas where crime is concentrated in the city (See: police substation across from the Transit Center.)

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what do you think about the school board’s appointment of Hiroshi Eto? A: Mr. Federal Way thinks the bar is pretty low for Mr. Eto, in some respects. All Eto has to do is make sure he doesn’t get caught up in a criminal conspiracy that leads to

being found guilty of seven counts of felony theft and he’ll be good.

That being said, some of the board’s rationalizations for Eto’s pick did raise some alarms in Mr. Federal Way’s mind, but Mr. Federal Way will save that commentary for another time. For now, Mr. Federal Way hopes Eto can be a stabilizing influence on what’s been a fractious board for the last year-and-a-half or so.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, who are you picking to win the World Cup? A: None of your business.

significant contributions to building the community.

The first recipient was King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer.

Former Public Works and Parks Director Cary Roe received the second Key to the city.

Pets are not allowed at the parade or festival.

The festival will feature music, food, fireworks and fun.

The parade will stage at 7 p.m. at the north entrance of Celebration Park by the traffic signal at 324th and will begin at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Groups will walk through the park and end just south of the play area in the center of the park.

The Federal Way Police Department will close all roads to vehicle traffic and provide an escort for all the participants to ensure safety for all. The entire parade will take less than one hour.

Police, fire departments: fireworks are illegal FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way Police Department and South King Fire and Rescue are reminding residents that fireworks are illegal within the city limits of Federal Way. The Federal Way Police Department will issue civil infractions for fireworks violations.

The two agencies are collaborating and cooperating on community education and enforcement initiatives regarding illegal fireworks.

The police department will have special enforcement teams patrolling the city for violators before, during and after the Fourth of July holiday. Emphasis patrols will cover Celebration Park, Steel Lake Park and other parks, as well as neighborhoods throughout the city.

The police department reminds residents that: • Fireworks have been illegal in Federal Way for 21 years.

• The department will respond to citizen complaints regarding noise, safety and non-compliance with the law and regulations and enforcement is the priority.

• Specific neighborhoods and residents with ongoing or repeated violations will be targeted.

• Civil infractions will be issued with an emphasis on enforcement and confiscation of illegal fireworks.

Firework infractions carry a $100 penalty for the first violation, $200 for the second and $300 for the third violation. In all cases,

police officers will confiscate fireworks.

“As parents and adults, we have a responsibility to protect our children.

While most parents work year round to keep their children safe, if they shoot off fireworks just once a year, they are placing their children at substantial risk,” says Chief Andy Hwang.

“Safety is our number one priority.”

South King Fire and Rescue’s assistant to the Fire Marshal, Gordy Goodsell, warns against what he calls, “the continued injuries following the unnecessary use of illegal fireworks” that he has seen in past years.

Federal Way residents are encouraged to call 911 to report fireworks violations.

The city sponsors an annual Red, White and Blues Fesival on July 4. Entertainment begins at 4 p.m. at Celebration Park, located at 1095 S. 324th St. There is no entrance fee; however, there is a $7 charge for parking on-site that opens at 3 p.m.

donations made in their name totaling $1,000.

Julie Enges, current “tail twister,” was recognized as the Lion of the Year for her work and dedication to the club. Her role as tail twister includes bringing energy to the club meetings.

The club also installed several other leaders at the meeting. Bill Ellis will be the membership chairman; Dick Mayer will be

the “lion tamer,” who is responsible for the various flags and items present at each meeting; Roger Hershey, current president, will take over the role of tail twister; Bob Darrigan will be the club’s secretary and Dorothy Burt will be vice president.

The Lions Club meets at noon every first and third Tuesday at the Denny’s restaurant on 320th Street.
