Man charged in fatal assault at airport

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

A Federal Way man is facing first-degree manslaughter charges after he allegedly slapped a Korean Airline manager, who died when he hit his head on concrete from the blow on July 6.

Taumailelei Mapusua Jr., 27, is being held on $1 million bail because he is considered a flight risk due to having family in Nevada and Samoa.

“This was a selfadmitted, unprovoked assault on a coworker that resulted in death,” a prosecuting attorney said in the charging documents.

Victim Jason Keum and Mapusua got into an altercation at SeaTac Airport on July 5. The two apparently disagreed about which piece of equipment to use to stabilize a cargo plane.

Keum was the manager of Korean Airline and the suspect is a cargo handler employed by Integrated Airplane Services, the company Korean Airline uses to load and unload large body cargo airplanes.

Post-Miranda, Mapusua told police he slapped Keum on the side of the face, which caused him to fall backwards and hit his head on reinforced concrete tarmac, a material used for surfacing roads.

Keum lost consciousness and experienced a [ more ASSAULT page 3 ]

Judges rule Fred Meyer crosswalk legal school zone

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

F

ederal Way Municipal Court judges recently ruled that, yes, drivers of Federal Way can get a speeding ticket from traffic cameras at the Saghalie Middle School crosswalk by Fred

Meyer.

Unlike a ruling last August that allowed Federal Way resident Stephen Cramer to argue his way out of a $210 speeding ticket, judges David A. Larson and Rebecca C. Robertson corrected the misconceived notion that “the crosswalk near Saghalie Middle School is not a school zone” in an official

report on June 27.

In April, seven defendants challenged the city of Federal Way on speeding tickets they acquired at the crosswalk located at 21st Avenue Southwest between Southwest 338th Place and Southwest 339th Street. [ more CROSSWALK page 25]

Residents appeal High Point project Hearing tentatively set for July 28

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

Federal Way residents, city officials and a developer are gearing up to argue two appeals on the highly controversial Hight Point mixed-use apartment complex proposed for the former bus barn site.

Tentatively scheduled for July 28, the city’s Hearing Examiner will hear arguments on both sides of the appeals.

Federal Way resident Leah Boehm-Brady filed an appeal on May 1 of the city’s environmental threshold determination and an appeal on June 19 on the land-use decision for the High Point project. Both appeals were signed by more than 50 in support.

Boehm-Brady’s home is in the neighborhood that abuts the north side of the 9.8 acre property, located at 1066 S. 320th St. in Federal Way, across from Safeway.

“I’ve lived here three years,” Boehm-Brady said in an interview. “I moved into this quiet neighborhood because I loved it — the kids can play with their bikes, people watch out for each other. It’s a special little place and that’s being threatened now.”

The project includes 308 apartment units and 26,095 square feet of commercial and amenity space on the ground floor. The proposal calls for 15 buildings and a parking lot that provides 1.5 stalls per apartment unit.

Allowed under current city zoning, the apartment buildings will [ more PROJECT page 17]

Town Square Park opens Saturday Domestic FROM STAFF REPORTS

The wraps are coming off Town Square Park this Saturday and the city is inviting residents of all ages to the park for a community celebration and grand opening party.

“Town Square Park is a place for families and church groups to recreate, and a place for office workers to have lunch on a nice day. This park puts the center in our city center,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell, who announced the creation of a downtown park at his April State of the City address. “This day is a great opportunity for us to come together and celebrate a historic step forward for our community.”

Festivities begin at noon on July 12 at the park, which is located at 31620 20th Ave. S. — just across the street from the Federal Way Transit Center.

The event will include three live bands, a talented Elvis performer and refreshments will be available from food trucks and local vendors. The park opening will feature fun activities for kids and adults, including bounce houses, balloons, face painting, crafts, volleyball and field games. Chess fans will finally get a look at (and a chance to play) the new large-size chessboards, as well as tables with regular-size chess pieces.

For more information, visit www.itallhappenshere.org or call 253-835-6900.

cracked skull and internal brain bleeding, which the medical examiner determined as his cause of death.

Port of Seattle Fire Medics transported Keum to Harborview Medical Center for brain surgery but he died the next day.

When they arrived on scene, they found the victim lying on the tarmac being assisted by a coworker.

“His breathing was labored and blood was coming out of his mouth,” the charging documents state.

Mapusua’s coworkers told the fire department captain what happened and police officers soon interviewed Mapusua in a break room.

He told the officers “it was my fault,” the documents continue.

At the police station he later told a detective, after his Miranda Rights were read, that he lost his temper and slapped Keum with an open hand.

“He didn’t know he was seriously hurt until he saw blood coming out of his mouth,” court documents state.

A few days later, an autopsy revealed Keum had bruising to the left side of his face, a cut on the inside of his mouth on his left cheek, a fractured skull and internal bleeding on the back of his head.

Mapusua cannot have contact with Keum’s family or any employees at Korean Airline or Integrated Airline Services.

His arraignment is set for July 23 at King County Superior Court.

Violence Affects Us All

TOWN SQUARE PARK

A

t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things.

Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse.

Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it.

Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.

That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle.

I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year.

If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233.

ne of the first stories I wrote when I became editor of the Mirror last December had this headline: “Big changes ahead for Federal Way in 2014.”

The story featured a profile about new Mayor Jim Ferrell and his vision for Federal Way. The photo next to the story showed Ferrell sitting in the cab of a Public Works snowplow — a metaphor for the mayor taking the driver’s seat to steer Federal Way in a new direction.

Now, we are in the midst of those changes the mayor set out to make.

This week marks two significant changes for the city.

Construction crews began demolishing the former Toys R Us building on Thursday, signifying the beginning of the Performing Arts and Conference Center construction.

Across the street from that site, the city will open its first downtown park on Saturday.

The Town Square Park, located at the former AMC Theater site at 31600 20th Ave. S., will include a large grass area for event gatherings, chess sets and basketball courts. The park will serve as the new site for the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting.

Both sites are located on the northeast and southeast corners, respectively, of a blighted intersection at 20th Avenue South and South 316 Street.

But city officials hope these changes will stimulate downtown development. They hope the changes will send a signal to private capital that the city’s vision for downtown is starting to materialize.

City officials are also currently vetting candidates for a new economic development director, who will assist the city with this expected growth.

The director will seek ways for Federal Way to compete regionally and nationally for new businesses. The staff member will also reach out to local businesses and seek their input on the needs of the city’s economy.

“You’ve got to operate with a sense of urgency,” said Ferrell in that story last December. “We’re going to go out and find businesses and associations and private capital to invest in this community.”

I applaud Ferrell for steering the city with a sense of urgency and his desire to move the city forward.

Federal Way needs it.

We will see what kind of economic development [ more CHANGES, page 5 ]

Disturbed by Hobby Lobby ad in Mirror I was a bit disturbed to see a full-page ad in the July 4 edition of the Mirror.

Oh, it’s not that I’m naïve; I understood that it was a patriotic holiday, and those at the Mirror aren’t quick to question religious content (especially when the Hobby Lobby is paying for a fullpage ad). But what struck me was that Hobby Lobby was trying to make their grandiose case with claims of ultimate authority. If they say our Founding Fathers said it, well, it must be true, huh?

OK, it’s my turn. These are the facts as I’ve learned them as a longtime student of both history and of comparative religions. My quotes reflect

Candidates get early boost with ratings The 2014 legislative races are starting to kick into high gear as we pass the July 4 milestone.

Candidates have been out doorbelling and refining their stump speeches for future use. They hope to talk to as many people as possible and nail down key voters early. They are also raising money that will pay for signs, newspaper ads and direct mailing during the closing phase of the race.

For incumbents, like house members Linda Kochmar (R) and Roger Freeman (D), everything is aimed at creating momentum and a sense of the inevitability of their win. For their opponents, Greg Baruso and Jack Dovey, respectively, they need to demonstrate that they are serious contenders.

One of the key early opportunities to make a move is the independent Municipal League ratings. When asking groups for financial support, it is considered significant if the candidate can match the incumbent’s ratings.

Both incumbent Freeman and candidate Dovey got a “good” rating from the League. Dovey served on the City Council for many years and that may have helped. But it still establishes an equality of the candidates by an outside group.

In the other house race, Kochmar received a “very good,” while first-time candidate Baruso

received a “good.”

The same theory applies in the open Senate seat. Mark Miloscia has been elected to the Legislature several times from this area and is almost running an incumbent-style race. He was previously elected as a Democrat and in an interesting twist, is now running as a Republican.

His opponent, Shari Song, used to live here, has moved back and is running as a Democrat. The Miloscia camp has made much of her moving. Since the district leans Democrat, if Song can keep the focus on policy issues and away from her residency, it is to her advantage.

In a surprise, both Miloscia and Song got a “very good” rating from the League. Even though candidates are not rated against each other in the League process, most observers would have expected Miloscia to have an advantage given his previous service in the Legislature and Song’s lack of having held public office.

The League ratings are only one part of the election puzzle. But at this point in the races they can play an important role for the candidates. Kochmar, Dovey and Song got the early benefit. But there is still a long way to go.

● LETTERS- YOUR OPINION COUNTS:

those of the very people Hobby Lobby are using for their own purposes. Sorry for the feathers I’m about to ruffle.

Historians long ago established the fact that our Founding Fathers were, collectively, Deists. That means a belief in God based only on reason and nature. Some of those founders were Atheists. To wit: Thomas Jefferson regarded Christianity as “the most perverted system that ever shone on man.” John Adams also rejected the Bible and Bible-based Christianity.

James Madison opposed linking Christianity with government as much as his predecessors. Madison felt so

strongly on the issue that he insisted that a Congressional chaplain would be a violation of the Constitutional separation of church and state. For the same reason he opposed paid chaplains in the military.

In 1774, Madison wrote to William Bradford, Jr.: “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.”

The Virginia General Assembly heeded Madison and rejected the call for supporting religion. Instead, it passed Jefferson’s Religious Freedom Act. Madison advocated the “total separation of the church from the state.”

From the famous interview with Jon Butler: “… The principal Founding Fathers — Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin — were in fact deeply suspicious of a European pattern of governmental involvement in religion. They were deeply concerned about an involvement in religion because they saw government as corrupting religion. Benjamin Franklin was even less religious than Washington and Jefferson.

Franklin was an egotist.

Franklin was someone who believed far more in himself than he could possibly have believed in the divinity of Christ, which he didn’t. He believed in such things as the transmigration of souls. That

is, that humans came into being in another existence and he may have had occult beliefs. He was a Mason who was deeply interested in Masonic secrets and there are some signs that Franklin believed in the mysteries of Occultism.”

I won’t beat the proverbial dead horse here, and it wasn’t my intention to offend anyone. I’m not openly advocating a “Godless society,” as no two people can agree on what that means anyway.

But when one attempts to spread religious/political/ ideological views by citing improper authority, it is one’s duty to stop that nonsense in its tracks.

Make up your own minds.

And don’t think that it “must be true” just because you read it in an ad in the paper. [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

Especially when there’s big money behind it. We are here because our European ancestors conquered or supplanted the native people, eradicated their belief system and forced their beliefs on them. Be careful what you’re proud of. We can be better than that.

David McKenzie, Federal Way

Fact check ads Once again, I wonder why I don’t simply put your newspaper directly in my recycling to use as a fire starter.

The final straw was the ad from Hobby Lobby. I know it is simply an ad but it bothers me that you are so eager to make money that you cannot fact check what is printed in that ad. If you simply Google the ad, you will see multiple sources that debunk the misquoted statements in the ad. As a new election season approaches, I feel it is absolutely imperative that you do the same with every editorial, or letter to the editor.

Where are the parents of these children?

After reading about the free lunches for these children in Federal Way, I wonder where are their parents?

Growing up in the ‘40s and ‘50s, my folks didn’t have much, and we, the five of us, ate a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Our family couldn’t afford hot lunches, but mom and/or

I also urge city officials to balance their enthusiasm and determination with a sense of prudence. Take moments to take your foot

dad always made sure we had our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I still enjoy my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to this day, at age 75.

But, for some reason, with this administration and those who sit on the Federal Way City Council, as well as the mayor, we the taxpayers are now responsible for feeding these children, and where are the parents, and why are they not responsible for their offsprings? Being retired, we don’t have the extra money for taxes. Our so-called “city government and federal government” don’t seem to have a problem taking our money away from us. And where are the parents of these children?

In the Redondo Beach area, I see mothers bringing children — I don’t know if all of them belong to one mom — for free lunches near the boat ramp. It appears these people don’t even live anywhere near where they are bringing these children, because they drive up in older cars and/or trucks.

Will these children really starve if there are no free breakfasts and lunches? I doubt it because the parents are too lazy to go to the food banks and/or wherever they can get free food and make breakfasts and lunches for their children. How much more can you take away from those of us who grew up during the end of the Great Depression but didn’t starve because our parents would take food from themselves so their children would be able to have something to eat?

Patsy Gee, Federal Way

off the pedal, slow down and reflect on the changes you’ve made and ones you’ve yet to make. Include residents, ask for input and don’t ignore the need for some process.

This is an exciting time for our evolving city and I look forward to more changes ahead. Let’s make them good ones.

3 PLAYERS NAMED TO ALLSTATE TEAMS FROM STAFF REPORTS

Three Federal Way baseball players were named to the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association “All-State” teams, with Scott Sunitsch from Todd Beamer and Decatur’s Jake Kolterman and Taylor Havlicek getting the nods to the prestigious teams.

Sunitsch was named to the 4A 2nd Team. The Beamer senior finished his high school career strong, posting a 2.20 ERA, striking out 53 batters across 41 innings of work during 2014.

Sunitsch, a first-team SPSL selection and SPSL All-Star and State All-Star game participant, was also incredibly strong on the offensive side of the ball.

For 2014, Sunitsch posted a .643 slugging percentage, while knocking in 23 runs and posting a .315 overall average.

The former Titan is heading to Washington State University next year, where he’ll be part of the Cougs rising baseball program.

Kolterman had a strong season for the Gators defensively and offensively. As a pitcher, Kolterman posted a 4-2 record with four complete games and one shutout, all while maintaining a 1.74 ERA. Kolterman was second in 3A SPSL baseball with 68 total strikeouts over the season.

The senior showed his skill on offense, posting a .410 batting average with four home runs and 31 RBI. His fellow Gator, Havlicek, had a strong season in his roles as catcher, infielder and pitcher.

Offensively, Havlicek had a .360 batting average, with a .455 OBP with 15 RBI and 21 runs scored.

odd Beamer High School dominates the Mirror’s 2014 All-City Softball Team after rolling into the postseason, with the Titans making its second trip to state in two years. The Titans lost to Woodinville in the second round.

PITCHER

Maddie Rogers, Beamer: The junior pitcher had another outstanding season, posting a 1.48 ERA and winning 21 games during the course of the season.

Those 21 wins accounted for 22 of Beamer’s total wins on the season — a testament to her durability. Rogers added 207 strikeouts, while holding opponents to a .230 on base average. In her 180 innings of work, Rogers also posted an incredible .886 fielding percentage. All of those impressive numbers added up to an All-SPSL 4A South First Team nod, as well.

Jaclyn Gillis, Federal Way: The sophomore earned an All-SPSL 4A South Second-Team nod, with a

National Little League Majors All-Stars send teams to state championships FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way National Little League will be sending three teams to the state championships on July 12, which are held in various venues. The teams set to compete in the state championships are the 9/10 Baseball All-Stars, the 10/11 Softball All-Stars and the 11/12 Baseball All-Stars.

If the teams continue their success, they’d find themselves in the Little League Northwest regional tournament in San Bernadino, California. That tournament consists of teams from Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, and the winner(s) of that tournament will move on to play in the Little League World Series later this summer.

The 9/10 team found their way to the state championships starting on June 14, going undefeated over the course of seven days and outscoring their oppo-

strong season both on the mound and in the batter’s box for the Eagles. She struck out nine in an 8-3 win over Spanaway Lake on April 25. In a March 17 win over Mercer Island, she went 3-4 with two runs scored, and looks to continue to be a powerful presence on the diamond for the Eagles in the future.

INFIELD

Megan Jewett-Chan, Beamer: Jewett-Chan was named the SPSL 4A North MVP on the season, and for good reason. The senior posted an out-of-this world .515 average and, accordingly, posted a ridiculous OBP of .525. Jewett-Chan rounded out her impressive offensive season with 39 RBI and 21 runs.

joined a number of her fellow Beamer teammates on the All-SPSL 4A South First Team as well.

Kelsey McDonnell, Beamer: The senior earned an All-SPSL 4A South Second Team nod from the league’s coaches while posting a .366 batting average, .438 OBP and 19 RBI and 26 runs scored.

Annalise Campbell, Jefferson: The senior finished out her career strong, earning an All-SPSL 4A North First Team nod. Campbell had some monster games offensively throughout the season, starting early with a 4-4 effort, three of which were triples. She also added four RBI in that early season win over Decatur. She had another romp at the plate on March 31, bringing in four runs in a 14-0 rout of Auburn, while adding a 3-3 effort in a 14-3 win over Auburn-Riverside on May 7.

Jourdin Hering, Beamer: The sophomore was a strong all-around player for Beamer in 2014, covering second base, along with duties in centerfield and right field. Offensively, Herring notched a .356 batting average and a .408 OBP, while bringing in 11 RBI and scoring 24 runs. Herring

Analee Scott, Beamer: Junior Scott had a

nents 48-11 while posting two shutouts. They rolled through the Steel Lake Little League All-Stars 10-0, followed by a rout of the South Hill Little League All-Stars 11-3, and the Kent Little League All-Stars 13-0.

The championship found the team facing off again with the South Hill team, with Federal Way securing the title with a 14-8 win.

The 9/10 team will head to Richland to make a run at the state championship on July 12.

The 9/10 team is made up of Ben Adams, Braden Bedell, Nate Cook, Luke Dalrymple, Brett Ellingson, Elijah Graham, Tyler Harries, Willie Hernandez, Payton Holloway, TJ Hurn, Cole Jackson, Aidan Mandina, Ryan Marino and James Turner. The team was managed by Derek Marino, with Phil Dalrymple and Jeff Haag helping out.

The team’s pitching combined for a 1.20 ERA and was led by Harries, Cook, Dalrymple, Marino and Hernandez. The team hit for 12 extra base hits during their run to the state championship tournament, and saw Mandia, Cook, Dalrymple, Ellingson and Harries carry the load.

The 10/11 Softball All-Stars followed up with an opening round loss to the combined team from Auburn, Kent and Soundview Little Leagues, but then proceeded to rattle off four consecutive wins. In that four-game win streak they eliminated teams from Chinook Little League and Bonney Lake-Sumner before facing off with the Auburn/ Kent/Soundview team again. They had to defeat the Auburn/Kent/Soundview twice over that weekend to take home the state title, and did so to bring home the hardware and advance to the state tournament on July 12 at Sunset Park in Auburn.

The team consists of Jesenay Agulto, Jenna Bettge, Chloe Barrier, Krailyn Guymon, Kaycie Haven, Christine Lee, Maclairen Magruder, Tiana McLarty, Peyton Miller, Faith Morris, Anna Swanson and Makena Togia. The manager is Tom Magruder and he’s assisted by coaches Jesse Agulto and Nevile McLarty.

Finally, the 11/12 Baseball All-Stars had a similarly dominant performance as the 9/10 boys on their way to the state tournament.

They too went undefeated over the course of the week

Overall, the 11/12 team outscored their opponents 45-13 and notched 12 home runs from seven different players, two of which were grand slams.

Long-time Gents barbershop offers fine grooming experience

T

hough ownership has changed hands and the name has been changed, 1634 Dash Point Rd. has been a barber shop for 50 years, and some original customers still drop in for a haircut or shave.

David St. John has owned Gents Fine Grooming for Men for 12 years, though when he first took over the shop he called it simply The Barber Shop.

St. John grew up in Illinois in a family of coal miners, and he knew one thing: “I didn’t want to be a coal miner,” he said.

For the last 34 years, St. John has worked to build relationships with clients and sharpen his barber skills.

“We’re very much about the relationship with our guests,” he said.

Gents has been recognized as the best barber shop in Federal Way for eight years.

Though Gents offers a more expensive service than a chain salon or barber shop, there is also more to the experience, he said. Clients can get a scalp massage, hair cut and a

shave, he said.

In addition to customers who have come to the same location since the 1960s, St. John also has customers who drive from Bellingham and Portland for a Gents cut, which speaks volumes about the Gents experience, he said.

“We have a niche business,” St. John said.

His team comprises employees who have a servant’s heart and are team players, he said. His team is essential to the shop, he said.

“You’re only as successful as your people.”

Though every business wants more customers, not every person is the ideal customer, St. John said.

But for customers willing to pay a little more for a good experience, people say Gents is the place to go.

Gents Fine Grooming for Men is located at 1634 Dash Point Road. It is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

ROUND-UP

Biz happenings

Low-income senior housing underway in Federal Way Construction is underway for a low-income senior housing complex on Pacific Highway and South 328th Street in Federal Way. The Celebration Senior Living Apartments will feature 380 affordable units in two 65-foot towers joined by a skybridge. A common building will also be built.

The project is headed by Senior Housing Assistance Group (SHAG), a nonprofit providing affordable housing for low- to moderate-income seniors.

The east building is in progress, and work on the west building is scheduled to begin this month.

First marijuana retailer licenses issued; Federal Way moratorium continues The Washington State Liquor Control Board issued the state’s first 24 marijuana retailer licenses this week, which were granted to businesses from Bellingham to Wenatchee to Seattle to Spokane.

Construction workers make progress on a low-income senior housing complex on Pacific Highway, right across the street from Burger Express, on July 1. ALISA GRAMANN, Mirror intern According to the board, “once approved for the license(s), producers and/or processors are able to file a required manifest for transporting to retail locations.”

The retailers “may begin selling marijuana at their discretion following receipt of product and entering it in to the traceability system.”

The board notes that these first 24 are drawn from 334 approved licenses.

The locations receiving the licenses “were selected by taking into account population, geographic dispersion and the individual

applicant’s readiness to be licensed.”

In Federal Way, the city is still exploring how to address the issue of retail marijuana businesses.

Federal Way was approved for three licenses within city limits, but has had a moratorium on the issue since last November. Last month, the city revisited the issue, exploring regulation and possibly banning such businesses.

“Nothing here is set in stone,” City Assistant Attorney Peter Beckwith said during the June 17 Council meeting. Beckwith

said the city could pursue three options: mostly doing nothing, which would leave the issue in the hands of the city and the mayor’s office; implementing a ban on such businesses, which Pierce County has essentially already done; or regulate, which are options that Seattle and Des Moines have begun exploring.

Councilwoman Dini Duclos was in favor of regulating, citing a desire for the city to be able to take advantage of the anticipated tax revenues from the new businesses, while Councilman Bob Celski thought the door should stay open to consider an outright ban because of the continued gray area in the interaction between the state’s law and federal law.

New gym to hold grand opening Saturday Temple Fitness is Federal Way’s newest addition to the fitness scene.

The new gym, located at 1600 SW Dash Point Road, will host a grand opening open house and barbecue from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 12.

The gym will offer group bootcamp classes, semiprivate personal training, senior programs, yoga and more. A variety of class times are available Monday through Friday in the morning at 6, 7 and 8 and in the evening at 5:30,

6:30 and 7:30. Classes are also offered at 10 a.m. on Saturdays.

Massage for Health celebrates 25 years Massage for Health and Day Spa in Federal Way is celebrating 25 years in the community this month.

In 1989, massage therapy was just beginning to gain recognition as an alternative treatment for sports injuries and medical strains/sprains. Shelley (Wingard) Mehner and Wendy Corlett started Massage for Health with the help of Leslee Jo Peterson and Cindy Graham. Massage for Health grew from a two-room facility that offered only relaxation and medical massage, to the day spa that it is today with six rooms, offering a variety of services.

Massage for Health and Day Spa played a key role in helping the city of Federal Way draft reasonable licensing rules for secondary health care professionals, according to business officials. In 2001, Corlett left to pursue teaching fulltime. Mehner reorganized the business, allowing the spa to grow into what it is today. For information, visit www.mfhds.com.

Q&A With Mr. FW: Marijuana moratorium, new police cars and traffic cameras Q

: Mr. Federal way, the city currently has a moratorium on retail marijuana businesses. Do you agree with the city, or do you think Federal Way has a permanent moratorium on common sense thinking?

A: Mr. Federal Way thinks the city is being prudent with the issue for the time being. While the Federal government has said it will stay hands off, Mr. Federal Way has his doubts, because, well, they’re the federal government.

Mr. Federal Way also remembers in 2011 when some legislation regarding marijuana was before former Gov. Christine Gregoire, and the Drug Enforcement Agency raided every dispensary in Spokane the day before Gregoire was set to approve COMMUNITY

and/or veto the bill. She eventually vetoed most of the bill, but did leave enough in it that the current medical marijuana collective gardens were allowed.

Mr. Federal Way thinks city leadership would probably be foolish to outright ban marijuana retail businesses. In a city that’s trying to find some source of economic revitalization and, like every other municipality in the state, trying to find ways to increase tax revenues, it seems silly for the city to turn its back on what’s anticipated to be a lucrative income stream for all involved.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I heard the mayor planned to have new paint on the city’s police cars by June.

Have you heard anything about this or, better yet, do

have any secret pictures of said paint you can share?

Thanks dude or dudette.

A: Mr. Federal Way has indeed heard some whispers that Mayor Jim Ferrell made it an early objective of his to repaint the city’s police cars. Why this is an objective, Mr. Federal Way couldn’t really tell you. And no, Mr. Federal Way doesn’t have any secret photos of the paint yet, mostly because Mr. Federal Way’s spy drone is in the shop right now.

But Mr. Federal Way did find out that the Federal Way Police Department expects to receive seven new police cars in the next few days. City officials expect

the process to detail the cars will take approximately 45-60 days before the cars will be completed and released into the fleet.

The new cars will be phased in during the city’s regular vehicle replacement schedule. In doing so, city officials are able to bring in the new car design without additional cost. Sounds like a fiscally conservative way to do things, in Mr. Federal Way’s opinion.

Q: Saw you guys ran another story on red light cameras. What’s Tim Eyman’s phone number?

We have got to get these repealed. This isn’t a safety issue; it’s a good old

fashioned money grab. By the way, I’ll bet no City Council member or city employee has ever had to pay this fine. These probably just “disappear.” That seems cynical, but likely accurate.

A: Mr. Federal Way thinks traffic cameras are quite the racket, for the most part. While the cities can counter that the cameras eventually do end up correcting behaviors at the intersections they’re installed at, Mr. Federal Way thinks everyone’s smart enough to realize these things become valuable revenue streams for the cities who use them.

Mr. Federal Way also knows that the traffic camera companies have had some questionable issues in the past, most notably in Everett in 2011, when it was

discovered a traffic camera executive was posting anonymously in the comments section of the Everett Herald, trying to drum up support to have the city adopt them.

Mr. Federal Way remembers that the executive in question was from the same company that runs Federal Way’s camera systems, and that at one point, 137 infractions from Federal Way were reversed because of a glitch in the company’s systems.

Mr. Eyman can be found at www.voterswantmorechoices.com, and Mr. Federal Way thinks you’re likely correct in your other observation.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what did you do for the Fourth of July?

A: None of your business.

States alone, food waste has increased 50 percent per capita since the 1970s, according to King County officials.

Each month, the average family of four in King County throws out about 25 percent of the food and drinks they buy, because they bought too much, didn’t store it properly or didn’t eat it in time. That adds up to nearly 400 pounds of food worth more than $1,500 per year.

Boxer, ‘Buddy Bandits,’ indicted on bank robbery charges

BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com

F

ederal Way professional boxer Vincent Gary Thompson was indicted for conspiracy to commit bank robbery and two counts of bank robbery.

A Pierce County Superior Court judge dismissed Thompson’s case on June 23, as he was indicted in federal court, the United States District Court for Western District of Washington, according to court documents.

Thompson’s alleged accomplices Robert C. Adams and Jeffrey D. Black were also indicted.

The three men, in addition to three juveniles, began planning the alleged conspiracy in early 2014 and together pulled off between seven and 10 heists in King,

Pierce and Spokane counties between March 3 and April 24, according to charging documents.

The group, called the “Buddy Bandits,” allegedly worked in pairs to rob the banks while other members waited outside.

The juveniles, including Thompson’s stepson, would allegedly go up to tellers with a note and demand money, saying they were armed, according to court documents.

Thompson pleaded not guilty to all charges. A judge ordered Thompson’s detainment due to his criminal record that includes previous robbery and weapons charges and a number of failures to appear in court.

A jury trial date is set for Aug. 18.

Police Blotter

The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: “Molotov cocktail” thrown at residence: At 5:20 a.m. on July 6 in the 31000 block of 28th Ave. S., it was reported that the suspect “threw a ‘molotov cocktail’ like device” at the balcony of a residence. The victim believed her ex-boyfriend, who she was in a relationship with for 10 years that recently ended, may have been responsible. The victim indicated she had been receiving threatening/harassing texts and phone calls from the ex-boyfriend. A witness saw a man matching the ex-boyfriend’s description throw the cocktail onto the balcony.

According to the report, officers discovered that two brothers were in a fight, with one brother the clear aggressor. That brother also destroyed a door by throwing a 10-pound weight through the door. He was arrested.

Daughter discloses secret during fight with mom: At 9:41 p.m. on July 5 at an unknown address, a mother called police to report that her daughter was raped by an “adult cousin” in the last two years.

Pit bull attacks owners: At

3:46 a.m. on July 4 in the 2000 block of S. 292nd St., A dog attacked two men after they attempted to extricate their dog from a fight with another dog.

According to the report, one of the men became trapped by his dog when it cornered him in a bathroom shower. Police killed the dog to allow the man to exit the bathroom. Upon arrival, the responding officer “walked in the open door and immediately saw blood all over the walls, hallway, back bedroom door and kitchen floor.” The report notes there were four pit bulls in the home, and that the incident began when the elder male pit bull, known as “Homie,” began attacking one of the younger male pit bulls after the younger dog had attacked a cat.

One of the owners then attempted to break up the fight between the two dogs, at which time Homie turned on the owner and latched onto the owner’s arm. The owner yelled at his wife to get a knife to stab the dog to get it to release.

The report notes that the owner’s wife stabbed Homie repeatedly in the neck and face to get the dog to disengage from his arm and that eventually the knife broke. Homie

eventually released the owner’s arm but then proceeded to trap the owner’s son in the shower before police killed the dog.

Women stabbed at gas station: At an unknown time on July 4 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., St. Francis hospital staff contacted police regarding a 23-year-old female stabbing victim. According to the report, the woman was stabbed at the Arco gas station at Pacific Highway and 272nd Street.

One of the victims said the “male presented a handgun, pointing [it] at the ground.” The suspect then demanded money, at which time the victim removed $120 from the till and tried to hand it to the suspect.

The suspect instructed the victim to put the money on the counter and then asked if there was any more money. The victim proceeded to take $7 from the tip jar and

added it to the $120. The suspect then asked if the victim had her driver’s license on her. The victim pretended to look for her license and managed to evade the suspect and fled out of the business.

Teen assaulted: At 8:46 p.m. on July 3 in the 28000 block of Pacific Highway S., a 16-year-old male was assaulted by a group of males, who took his cell phone. The victim was walking up the hill on South 283rd Street by Pacific Highway South when a black car pulled over beside him and the suspects exited the vehicle and assaulted him. The victim indicated that the males asked him what he had in his pockets and if he had any money.

One of the males proceeded to punch the victim on the left side of his face, at which time they stole his phone.

Bomb set off in woman’s front yard: At 12:21 a.m. on July 2 in the 500 block of SW 293rd St., a woman reported that unknown suspects detonated a bomb-like device in her front yard. The device only partially detonated but burned a small portion of her yard.

Upon further investigation, the device was revealed to be a “sparkler bomb” and the homeowner believed that they didn’t know anyone who would intentionally do this, but rather that it was “kids just acting up.”

SWAT standoff FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way Police are searching for a suspect wanted for assault following a five-hour SWAT standoff in Federal Way on Monday night.

Police and the Valley SWAT Team responded to an altercation in the 32300 block of 26th Place SW at 5:51 p.m. on Monday.

No one was injured when the 22-year-old male suspect pointed a gun at a 29-year-old man living in the house. The man exited

and called 911 to report the incident. The altercation is suspected to have started over property the suspect stored in the garage, said police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.

Police immediately established a perimeter and called the SWAT team. No other homes in the cul-de-sac were displaced during the standoff. Police tried, unsuccessfully, to call out the suspect, Schrock said.

There is probable cause for the suspect’s arrest on the grounds of second-degree assault and violation of a no contact order with a 22-year-old woman, the sister of the 29-year-old man, Schrock said.

More than 300 run to raise funds for mesothelioma

BY ALISA GRAMANN

T

hree hundred and twenty-three people crowded outside the Federal Way Community Center at 8:30 a.m. July 4 to run the annual Miles for Meso 5k.

At about 8:45 a.m., kids lined up to participate in the kid’s dash around the Community Center.

With 10 seconds left until 9 a.m., Mayor Jim Ferell led the countdown and the runners took off.

The third annual 5k raises money and awareness for mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure.

“It’s so rewarding that

the community is coming out like this,” said Diana Stewart, one of the event’s organizers.

The race was dedicated to Irene Lund, Stewart’s neighbor and a long-time Federal Way resident who died last week of mesothelioma.

“She was hoping to be here,” said Cathrine Lund Martin, Lund’s daughter.

The Lund family participated in the 5k wearing photos on their chest. The photo was taken one year before Lund died. Lund fought for one year, but no long-term treatments are available, Martin said. “[Mesothelioma] is very rare,” she said.

Around 2,000 cases of mesothelioma are

6 private gardens to be featured in 15th annual garden tour FROM STAFF REPORTS

Flower fanatics can get their fill of floral landscapes during the Federal Way Symphony’s 15th annual garden tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 19.

Six private gardens will be included in the self-guided tour this year, as well as the Federal Way Symphony’s partners, the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden and the George Weyerhaeuser Bonsai Collection.

In addition to flowers, visual arts and crafts will be on display and Leon Christian, a local guitarist and music educator, will play live music from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Bianca Ponnetkani of Tacoma will play cello and flute from 2-4 p.m. Riz Reyes will speak about “travels of the young gardener” at 11 a.m. in a program tent at the Bonsai Collection courtyard.

Event organizers partnered with the botanical garden and the bonsai collection to draw a greater crowd and to

Other families affected by mesothelioma also came out. People ran or walked to support others they knew, such as race winner Mason Fletcher, who ran in memory of Dick Dyhrman, the late husband of Pat Dyhrman, another race organizer.

Fletcher and his family were close to Dick Dyhrman, he said, noting he is happy to support cancer research and a good cause. Fletcher has participated since the first Miles for Meso 5k in 2011.

Most of the private gardens were designed by landscape architects or master gardeners, Blacker said.

Master gardeners will be available to answer questions, and each garden will have a vendor or two selling art, she said.

The tour is a fundraiser for the symphony, specifically benefitting the free ticket program for youth and the summer youth music programs, said Anna James Miller, executive director of the Federal Way Symphony.

Between 100 and 200 tickets have been sold so far, she said. The symphony hopes to have at least 500 people attend, a number that has been reached in the past, Miller said.

Tickets are $20, available online at www.federalwaysymphony.org or by calling the symphony’s box office at 253-529-9857. Tickets are also sold at various places around town, including Branches Garden Center, Oriental Gardens, Watson’s in Puyallup and Marlene’s Market.

Couple celebrates 70 years

BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com

T

he year was 1944 and Robert “Bob” Morse was attending a USO dance in Oklahoma City with two of his Navy buddies when he saw three young women.

“He said, ‘I’ll take the short one,’” said Ann Morse, Bob’s wife of 70 years.

The Morses celebrated 70 years of marriage on June 19.

“Now we’re just growing Ann Morse old together,” Ann Morse said.

What attracted Bob Morse to his wife? “I know what it was — red hair. I got a good memory, boy,” Ann Morse says to her husband.

when she was seated behind a sewing machine and told to put a zipper on a leather jacket, she said.

After sitting for several minutes without doing anything, the supervisor approached and asked, “What’s the matter, carrot top? Can’t you sew?”

“No sir, I can’t,” Ann Morse replied.

“They didn’t ask me if I could sew when I went in there,” she said with a laugh.

“It was just something you had to learn,” Bob Morse added.

With the world in the midst of the second world war, the couple also worried Bob Morse’s name would appear on the list of men being shipped overseas, which came out every Wednesday.

“You lived from Wednesday to Wednesday,” Ann Morse recalled.

“Never a morning goes by where he doesn’t say, ‘I love you.’”

THE EARLY YEARS

Bob was born and raised in Auburn, graduated high school in 1943 and joined the Navy.

“I just got out of high school and boom, I was in the Navy,” he said.

Ann Morse corrects his memory, saying he signed up just before he graduated to avoid the draft. He also chose the Navy because he didn’t want to wear a necktie, which is amusing because once he left the Navy, after nearly three years of service, he worked at the U.S. Postal Service and was required to wear a tie daily, she said.

For the first three years of their marriage, the couple lived in a 100-square-foot Navy trailer in Maryland.

He worked at a highsecurity base in Washington D.C. and she worked on base in the sale loft. With a background and experience in credit, Ann Morse was in for a surprise her first day

MAKING MARRIAGE LAST

The trick to lasting 70 years is a good sense of humor and a deep commitment, the couple agreed.

“You don’t just holler, ‘I’m going to give up,’ at the first thing,” Ann Morse said.

“You make your marriage vows mean something.”

Bob and Ann Morse were married in 1944, against everyone’s wishes.

Bob Morse was visiting Ann Morse in Flagstaff, Arizona on leave when he said, “I don’t want to wait, let’s get married,” she said.

“When I went down to Arizona I thought, ‘What the heck am I doing down here?’ Then we got married and that was it,” Bob Morse said.

His brother, also in the military, advised Bob Morse, “Don’t get married while you’re in the service, it’ll never last.”

Ann Morse found the V-mail, or “Victory Mail,” with that advice when the couple prepared to move to Quiet Forest II, a gated retirement community in Federal Way. “I wanted to tell him, ‘Hey Ben, it’s lasted,” Ann Morse said of her brotherin-law’s advice.

The couple has enjoyed seeing their two sons, five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren lead successful lives.

“I feel like that’s the best legacy we could have,” Ann Mores said.

The great grandchildren call them “GG,” and GG never fails to have a sweet treat for the kids to eat when they come over. It may be to the parents’ chagrin, but the sugar makes the couple popular, she said with a laugh.

“We’ve just been blessed.”

FOR BETTER OR WORSE, IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH

But not everything in their 70 years has been easy.

When Bob Morse was 53 he suffered a severe stroke and had to retire. Doctors expected he had perhaps two years left.

“Not very many people have the rug pulled out from under them at 53,” his wife said.

But 38 years later, the couple is still together and crossing things off their to-do list.

The couple has visited every state in the U.S. They have also taken several trips overseas, including to England, Israel and Spain.

“The travel bug,” Ann Morse said, gesturing toward her husband.

Bob Morse’s favorite trip was England; she

liked Israel. But history is everywhere, which makes all their trips special, they said. The couple has also taken cruises, though after Bob Morse fell on the last two, they have given up cruising.

“I think we’re ready to stay home,” Bob Morse said.

“For a little while,” Ann Morse added.

Now the couple enjoys spending time with their family and volunteering at Steel Lake Church, where they have attended for 55 years. Bob Morse was an elder for nine years and Ann Morse was a deacon for six.

Bob Morse’s brain hasn’t fully recovered from his stroke. Sometimes his yes means no, hot means cold and freezer means the furnace, his wife said. “[But] I’m just thankful to have him,” she added. “I can read him like a book.”

Though their family doesn’t like them to say it, Ann and Bob Morse, ages 86 and 89, are waiting for the end, she said.

“The sad part now is that we’ve lost so many good friends,” she said.

The group of six from the USO dance in 1944 remained close friends. “[But] lots of them died,” Bob Morse noted.

“I’m the only lady left out of the six,” she added.

About 135 people still recently turned out to help them celebrate their 70th anniversary. Neighbors, church members, old coworkers and school mates all attended a party the couple’s sons organized to honor their parents.

The couple said they have had their share of struggles, including the regular battle Ann Morse waged against her husband’s Navy dress whites.

Sometimes money was tight and they had to get creative with material possessions. The couple used communal bathrooms and washrooms for three years during their marriage.

In addition, Ann Morse said during World War II when everything was rationed, women couldn’t get nylons, so they would use paint to make it look like they were wearing them.

She wore her nylons - complete with a straight seam with the help of a friend.

There is nothing the couple would change about their 70 years and there has never been a time when one or both wanted to walk away, Ann Morse said.

“Never a morning goes by where he doesn’t say, ‘I love you,’” she said.

And the great grandkids, when they are visiting, ask GG Ann if GG Bob said he loved her, just to make sure.

My top 5 issues if I were mayor and land use planning, code compliance, use of public funds and facilities for community development and events. It has a significant role but there are limits as well.

I’d say crime was an issue but the crime rate is low even though our boneheaded criminals are good at getting themselves in the news.

The Performing Arts and Conference Center was an issue but Council said build it, so it merits highlevel project status.

In the grand scheme of things, I think the way to approach the five issues challenge is to visualize Federal Way as the city we would like it to become.

Defining a result is easier to articulate than proposing a variety of steps without any specific end in mind.

To me, Federal Way needs to become a more sophisticated economic center that is attractive to the college educated millennial generation.

Currently, the urban scene is to their liking. But as they start down the path of raising families they will be attracted to many of the elements that made suburbia grow.

The difference now is they want high tech and touch combined with the feeling of urbanized sophistication.

They desire a more defined space with mobility by foot, bike, bus and light rail to work, shopping, entertainment and culture.

In a few years when the millennial adults of baby boomers start families in greater numbers, they will be seeking quality schools in a more urbanized suburbia with easy access to jobs, mobility, culture and parks.

Their parents’ desire for downsizing, need for onelevel homes or increased health care adds urgency to the transition and revitalization discussion.

So to get started, I’d focus Keith Livingston

MY PERSPECTIVE

A

t lunch a few days ago with a Federal Way friend, we were talking about the pros and cons of this city.

Some of the positives we talked about dealt with our ease of access to the airport, the absolute natural beauty of the area and that we are a great entrylevel value when compared to Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue.

So my friend smartly said being a great value may not be a positive if we are not attracting quality middle-toupper income homebuyers and new businesses to fill our vacant storefronts or office parks. We quickly realized that while we like living here, we needed to look at Federal Way with a different eye.

Then, his question to me proved to be an interesting challenge. He asked, if I were mayor what would be my five top issues?

Personally, I think Federal Way’s most critical issue is that our schools are not perceived as quality based on test scores and school ratings.

But that is not the mayor’s challenge or the direct responsibility of our municipal government. But improving our schools and increasing their value is paramount for this city’s future.

My-off-the cuff response was that our retail options aren’t inspiring.

When driving in this city, my eye sees a tacky hodgepodge of fast food dining, chain restaurants, discount retail and challenged shopping centers.

After more discussion we both realized the city has control over the commons — streets, rights-of way, traffic signals, parks, recreation facilities, city buildings or basically anything it owns directly.

But it also controls the heartbeat of the city with, ordinances, public safety and municipal resources, zoning

on: mobility at all levels; developing cohesive well defined and maintained neighborhood communities while constricting low-end affordable housing; community aesthetics and gateway entry points; improving and expanding parks, recreation and cultural resources; and

adding staff to city departments with the directive of making Federal Way the significant player in the South Puget Sound. Of course, the devil is in the details but no one said picking five issues for the mayor’s attention would be easy. What issues would you choose?

Fourth of July festivities FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way rocked the Fourth of July with a Red, White and Blues Festival that had something for everyone at Celebration Park.

A crowd estimated at 21,000-strong enjoyed blues, dance hits and classic rock from three of the Puget Sound’s biggest musical acts.

An enthusiastic group of dancers of all ages bopped to the beats in front of the main stage. A crowd of kids showed their patriotic fervor waving miniature American flags during the Kid’s Parade that wound from 324th Street to the entrance of the park.

The festival featured a host of fun activities for youngsters, including two bouncy

houses, an inflatable maze, the Power Jump, dodgeball and much more.

Emcee Alex Zerbe made his Red, White and Blues debut to the delight of festival goers of all ages, with a zany, high-energy performance, clean humor and fire juggling. After a stirring rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” on bagpipes, the lights went dark and fireworks rocketed into the air above the Celebration Park softball fields, exploding into multi-colored streamers. The 22-minute fireworks spectacular was choreographed to a crowd-pleasing medley of popular music that included Neil Diamond’s “America,” The Beatles’ “Birthday,” Pharrell’s “Happy,” and “God Bless America,” among others.

In addition, Mayor Jim Ferrell was the grand marshal for the 62nd annual North Lake Fourth of July parade.

range between 3-6 stories in height.

Boehm-Brady, a retired teacher, said that a project this massive doesn’t belong near a single-family home neighborhood because it will compromise its integrity.

She said her neighbors would severely lose their privacy if city officials allow the Bellevue-based developer DevCo to remove the trees and vegetation behind the houses directly behind the property, a violation of the city’s Comprehensive Plan, she says.

“The buffer on the north side is mature and will help mitigate the impacts of the apartments,” she wrote in her appeal. “The city bases its decision to allow all the vegetation to be removed on the north side based on one arborist report declaring that ‘23 of the 25 trees along the north property line are either dead, dying or in poor condition.’”

But after reading the report, Boehm-Brady said the same arborist said there’s several excellent quality English Laurel and healthy fir trees, which would be killed if the developer were to remove them.

Isaac Conlen, the city’s planning and division manager, said the buffer of trees and bushes isn’t city-owned, it is property the developer

would acquire if the property transaction goes through.

“We’re talking about everything on the developer’s property,” Conlen said. “Tall trees, most or all of the trees on the developer’s property would be removed. That would be replaced by fencing and new landscaping.”

There’s 10 homes near the project that have tall trees behind their backyard.

However, a six-foot-tall fence is not adequate, the appeal states.

“It is far too easy to climb a fence of this type,” BoehmBrady wrote in her appeal.

“We feel the developer should have to put in a solid six foot concrete ... fence to separate this city frame development from single family residential, with the design subject to the approval of the homeowners.”

And with only one-anda-half parking stalls per unit, Boehm-Brady worries that the pedestrian access near the back of the complex by her neighborhood will encourage people to park in that neighborhood if they can’t find parking in the complex.

While many are concerned about neighborhood privacy, Boehm-Brady and others also worry the density will make South 320th Street’s traffic much worse.

“The idea is that 320th is such a busy street and the bus barn moved because the traffic and because it was so

Leah Boehm-Brady is one of more than 50 residents who are appealing the controversial High Point project. RAECHEL DAWSON, the Mirror busy,” said Betty Bjorklund, a Federal Way resident who’s lived in the neighborhood for 45 years. “I can’t imagine putting that number of people and apartments in that small area.”

Francine Becker, a resident of the neighborhood for 44 years, said there’s “plenty of other property in Federal Way that DevCo could go to.”

“It doesn’t have to be in the downtown core, is my whole point,” Becker said. “There’s property that isn’t on the main drag.”

Becker said she remembers when South 320th Street was two lanes and quail and deer would cross the road every day.

“It was full of wild animals, now we just have squirrels and crows,” she said.

But Conlen said the traffic generated by the High Point

project along South 320th Street would be less than the traffic from when the bus barn was located at the site.

And the city currently doesn’t have the funds to put any additional roads or entry/ exit points on South 320th Street to deter traffic.

“They’re building a public road through their property,” Conlen said. “The reason it’s not connecting at this point in time is because it’s not the city’s immediate priority on the list of projects and there’s no funding for it yet. In the future, other improvements will be made.”

Boehm-Brady and other residents thinks the road should be constructed before the project is built.

“Residents should be able to drive down the hill, out the back of the property to connect with 14th,” she wrote.

“This will offer a much more acceptable configuration.”

The Hearing Examiner will also hear an appeal on the State Environmental Protection Act review decision, as residents claim the determination of non-significance was incomplete, false and misleading.

The residents hired Greg Wingard, an environmental specialist, who said contamination on the property is likely worse than what initial data has shown.

The property once hosted shop areas for hydraulic lifts, vehicle maintenance and fueling and “there are fairly good odds that once they remove the site structures and other improvements, that they will find additional, previously undiscovered contamination,” according to Boehm-Brady’s appeal.

The appeal claims that when a developer is “chomping at the bit to turn the developed property over for a profit,” it’s “foolish to rely on the developer to provide an adequate information base to assure the job was done right.”

Because of the potential unknown chemicals, residents call for more stringent levels for cleanup, as well as additional steps to ensure they don’t become a liability and leave cancer-causing materials for future tenants to become ill.

“We want the Washington state Department of Ecology, not a third party signing off on the cleanup,” the appeal states. “We want an open, transparent, public process to this cleanup, a public participation plan. A third party would not have the same responsibility to the community.”

Conlen said there are plans to remove the buildings and the plan calls for “tons of testing and sampling under the existing buildings,” it just won’t happen until they get the permits.

“It seems like the appellants are supposing it’s not going to be done correctly,” Conlen said, noting the Department of Ecology will be involved in the process.

The tentative date for the hearing is at 1 p.m. July 28 in the Federal Way City Chambers.

While the hearing is public, city officials want the public to know that only those entitled to participate in the appeal may provide oral comments directly to the Hearing Examiner during the public hearing or submit written comments.

Because more than 50 people signed both appeals, the Hearing Examiner will determine the number of appellants who can provide comment on the hearing date. For information, visit www.ci.federal-way.wa.us.

Family Safety Day to host free CPR training for first time FROM STAFF REPORTS

For the first time, South King Fire and Rescue officials will be offering free CPR training at the Farmer’s Market Family Safety Day on Saturday, July 19.

The two sessions will be held at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and will include a lesson in

www.federalwaymirror.com how to use an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, as well.

“In 20 to 30 minutes we can teach people to save lives,” said Jeff Bellinghausen, the community affairs officer with South King Fire and Rescue.

Bellinghausen said he hopes to see 100 or more participate. People will earn their certification cards after the training.

Bellinghausen said the class is aimed at adults, as participants need to be able

to compress someone’s chest about two inches.

“Eighty percent of people have cardiac arrest in their own home, so [it’s important] to be able to do that for loved ones,” he said, noting there’s no fee, books and only a brief lecture in the training.

Those learning CPR will practice on one of the 10 mannequins or eight simulators provided.

“South King Fire and Firefighters Local 2024 are committed to putting this skill in the hands of our citi-

zens,” Bellinghausen wrote in an email.

Family Safety Day, which is presented by the Kiwanis Club of Federal Way, the Federal Way Police and South King Fire and Rescue, will also include K-9 demonstrations at 1 p.m. with Roscoe and Kaiser. There will be craft projects by Home Depot, free helmet fittings, emergency preparedness information, emergency kits, neighborhood safety and crime prevention and Home Security will be onsite as well.

National Little League takes home Tournament of Champions title FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way National Little League Majors Cardinals repeated as the winner of the Tournament of Champions last month, taking home the title at the South King County ballfields.

The Cardinals started out their title defense with a 1-0 win over the Steel Lake Braves, champions of Steel Lake Little League. Connor Ellingson scored the only run of the game on a RBI single from Nate Clow. Adam Taylor, Spencer Sugg, Cole Bakker and Ellingson pitched for the combined shutout, giving up only one hit, while Braves pitcher Jaylon Sandlin gave up eight hits and the one run.

Next up for the Cardinals were the Auburn Pirates, who came into the game with an 18-1 record. The game was a back and forth affair, with the Cardinals jumping out to an early two-run lead on a home run from Clow. The Pirates answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the first. Clow put the Cardinals back on top with

a three-run homer, followed by a two-run homer from Ellingson to put the score at 7-3. The Pirates added a run to put the final score at 7-4.

Ellingson and Taylor had pitching duties against the Pirates, each pitching three innings in the win.

The semi-finals saw the Cardinals facing off with the Kent Warriors. Bakker and the Warriors Nate Anderson locked horns in a pitchers duel for the first few innings, with Anderson helping his own cause with a two-run homer in the third inning, putting the Warriors up 3-1.

Bakker shut the Warriors down the rest of the way, retiring 10 of the final 12 hitters he faced to hold the Warriors at three runs. The Cardinals opened the game up in the sixth inning, with seven getting on base in the inning.

Taylor and Bakker each had a home run in the sixth to put the score at 7-3 and send the Cardinals onto the final.

In the final, the Cardinals faced the Fife Hurricanes, taking home the title with a 9-6 win. Isaac Olson pitched a sterling game, going five

FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way National LIttle League Majors Cardinals recently took home the title at the South King County ballfields. Contributed photo innings while giving up five runs on 55 pitches. Sugg closed the game out to bring the title home. Offensively, the Cardinals put together a complete “team” victory, with seven players scoring runs and seven players recording hits against the Hurricanes.

Taylor contributed a home run, while Elijah Bakam, Payton Holloway and Ellingson all came up with big hits in tight spots in the game.

The Hurricanes did not go down quietly, loading the bases in the sixth, before the Cardinals were able to turn a 1-2-3 double play to end the threat and secure the title.

The Cardinals finished their season with a 26-3 record, winning the regular season Majors Championship for the Federal Way National Little League, along with the End of Season Tournament Championship, which punched their ticket to the Tournament of Champions. The team is managed by John Sugg and coached by Steve Pearson, Jim Ellingson, Bryan Bakker, Bob Beck and Scott Chow. The team is made up of Aidan McClaren, Olson, Clow, Bakker, Ellingson, Sugg, Taylor, Bakam, TJ Rincon, Oscar Rincon, Holloway and Ellingson.

Washington has had more measles cases so far this year than in the past five years combined. State health officials are sounding the alarm to remind people that vaccination is the best protection against the spread of this serious and preventable disease.

So far in 2014, there have been 27 measles cases in Washington, up from the five reported in 2013. The most recent cases reported in the past month have been in King County (11 confirmed cases) and Pierce County (two confirmed cases). This is the third measles outbreak in our state this year and the number of cases so far is the highest reported in any year since 1996. People can check the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department and Multicare websites for a list of places visited by cases while they were contagious. Anyone who visited places at the listed dates and times should find out if they’ve been vaccinated for measles or have had the disease.

Washington’s trend reflects the national trend. From Jan. 1 to July 3 of this year, the U.S. has experienced, the highest number of cases since elimination of ongoing measles virus circulation in the U.S. was documented in 2000. Almost all of these cases are attributed to 17 outbreaks.

The resurgence is linked to several factors — people not being vaccinated, and the fact that measles is still common in many parts of the world including parts of Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Travelers with the measles continue to bring the disease to the U.S. and it spreads when it reaches communities where groups of people aren’t vaccinated.

Measles is highly contagious even before the rash starts.

It spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes — if you’re not vaccinated, you can get the measles just by walking into a room where someone with the disease has been in the past couple of hours. About one in 10 children with measles also gets an ear infection, and up to one in 20 gets pneumonia. Of every 1,000 people with measles, one is likely to get encephalitis, and one or two may die.

The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is recommended for kids 12 months and older, health care workers, college students, adults born after 1956, and people who travel internationally. Pregnant women should not get the vaccine until after giving birth.

Children should be vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine, with the first dose between 12 and 15 months and the second at four to five years of age. Children aged six to 11 months who will be travelling internationally should receive one dose of MMR at least two weeks before departure. Adults should have at least one measles vaccination, with some people needing two. Anyone planning to travel should make sure they are immune to measles before leaving the U.S. A vaccine can be found by calling your health care provider or by checking the online vaccine finder for a location near you.

People who are unvaccinated, or aren’t sure if they’re immune, and develop an illness with fever and rash should consult a health care professional immediately. Call ahead to your clinic, doctor’s office, or emergency room before arriving to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.

Federal Way family designs airborne wind turbine

T

he side of one of two blue blimps reads, “Energy Shark” in white letters. The blimps rise into the air, pulling with them a 20 foot, 60 pound wind turbine, 18-year-old Alexander Anderson’s research project of three years.

Tucked inside the rainbow aluminum tubing, an AIR-30 wind turbine turns wind into energy.

[ CROSSWALK from page 1]

“Wind turbines work by creating a pressure drop across the blades that turn the generator,” Anderson said. “Adding an augmenter speeds up the wind and increases the drop in pressure, giving more power.

Anderson’s goal was to provide Americans in low-wind areas with a renewable energy source that didn’t break the bank, he said.

His patent-pending design, called A-PEGASUS, costs about $4,000 and can

The crosswalk is adjacent to Fred Meyer on the opposite side of the school but is clearly marked as a school speed zone.

The defendants brought forward an August 2013 Federal Way Mirror article as their defense, which detailed the decision on the previous case by a pro tem judge, Mary E. Lynch.

The alleged speeder, Cramer brought a Google map image of the area that showed Saghalie Middle School was 1,090 feet from the designated school zone on 21st Avenue Southwest.

Because of the location, Cramer stated it couldn’t be a school zone because the law states school speed zones “may extend 300 feet from the border of the school” and therefore he should have been driving in a 35 mph speed zone.

He was allegedly going 28 mph on May 6, 2013, according to the traffic camera.

The defendants tried to use the same August 2013 argument: Acquiring a speeding ticket during an active school zone at that location was illegal, according to RCW 46.61.440(2).

City officials conceded while the crosswalk is greater than 300 feet from the school boundary, the school zone is legal under RCW 46.61.440(1) because there is no provision requiring that the school speed zone be within 300 feet of a school boundary.

Noting that the decisions of other trial court judges do not set legal precedent binding other judges, Larson and Robertson conducted a legal analysis outlined in 11 pages.

The judges’ findings of fact and conclusions of law determined the crosswalk, which was built in 1995 after a child was struck and killed by a car in that area, need not be within 300 feet of a school to be considered a school speed zone.

Emphasizing the word “may” in RCW 46.61.440(2) that a school or playground speed zone “may extend [300] feet from the border of the school or playground property,” the judges stated it is “logical for the Legislature to provide for the creation of different types of speed zones to provide flexibility based upon the geography near the school.”

That “flexibility” includes situations where a commercial facility is between the school and residential area served by the school, such as Fred Meyer, and if students cross a busy street, 21st Avenue Southwest, that is more than 300 feet from a school boundary to get to and from the school.

But Federal Way attorney Herman C. Brewer, IV disagrees with how the judges interpreted the law.

Brewer said he interprets that if there is a crosswalk within the school zone, then subsection 1 of the RCW should be applied. If there’s not, then subsection 2 is the law that pertains to that situation.

“In our scenario at Saghalie, since there is a crosswalk on 19th Avenue, in our scenario we should probably be using subsection 1,” Brewer said. “In reviewing the brief, they’ve taken a whole complete different meaning of the RCW as it’s defined.”

Brewer said the judges’ interpretation that the school speed zone can extend if a residential area is nearby is wrong because then there would be no need for subsection 2 of the law.

“Another flaw in doing that is there’s a Fred Meyer and the Fred Meyer is just loaded with 300 cars,” he said. “The children have to walk across that school zone, the indicated school zone they’ve placed there, only to have to walk across a Fred Meyer parking lot that’s filled with cars.”

After determining the city could use the area as a school speed zone of 20 mph, the judges analyzed whether it is legal

be assembled in a garage over a weekend.

His research began with a desire to increase efficiency of wind turbines.

After his first prototype lived up to his calculations and expectations, he began thinking on how to match cost with efficiency. Support structures for wind turbines can be expensive. A flying turbine would eliminate the expensive support and be even more efficient, as wind speed increases with height, he said.

Tacoma Power and the American Public Power Association partnered with Anderson to help finance a 400-watt, lighter-than-air augmented turbine. The American Public Power Association established its Demonstration of Energy and Efficiency Developments program in 1980.

The competitive program funds research initiatives.

Once Anderson got the grant, he needed a public utilities sponsor and the city of Tacoma got on

to use traffic cameras as photo enforcement.

Explaining that different parts of the law use different terms - school crosswalk zones versus school speed zones - Larson and Robertson wrote that “the issue is whether the Legislature intended to exclude school crosswalk zones created under [the law] from the photo enforcement provisions … when it referred to photo enforcement only being allowed in ‘school speed zones.’

“Courts are bound by the language found in statutes as they are written by the Legislature,” the judges wrote in their report.

“They cannot substitute its judgement for the judgement of the Legislature … This is one of those cases. Anyone aggrieved by the courts’ decision in this case should consider asking the Legislature to clarify RCW 46.63.170.”

Therefore, the judges also determined that if the school zone was marked and officers could control the area, catching speeders, traffic cameras can too.

They wrote the answer rests with the “rules of statutory construction.”

“The court’s purpose when interpreting a statute is to enforce the intent of the Legislature,” they cited. “… If the statute is subject to more than one reasonable interpretation, it is ambiguous, and the court may resort to aids of statutory construction, including examining legislative history.”

Moreover, another Washington law permits that local legislative bodies should have the authority to analyze areas of need in the local community and provide for photo enforcement in “school zones” where heightened enforcement was needed to maximize the safety of children.

Emphasizing the city and police department are not representative of the judges’ decision in the matter, city spokesman Chris Carrel said providing safety for students getting to and from school is a paramount duty of local governments.

“The judges’ findings provide a clear explanation of that legal authority and the validity of the Saghalie school zone,” Carrel said.

Federal Way Police Chief Andy Hwang said city officials thoroughly researched the traffic safety program when it was first considered in 2008. “… We have carefully thought out each of the three school zones that were selected, based on volume of traffic, numbers of ongoing violations and the risk to students,” he wrote in an email. “… As police chief, it is my hope that the drivers focus on practicing safe driving through the Saghalie school zone as all of our school zones to keep our school children safe.”

According to city data, the city issued 2,346 citations in the Saghalie school zone in 2013 and 2,783 in 2012.

Brewer said overall he doesn’t have anything against the photo systems when they’re legally placed and functioning properly.

“I do believe that it’s beneficial for the citizens and the police,” Brewer said. “It does allow for police officers to work elsewhere but at the same time the city has to make sure the systems are working correctly.”

Brewer said he’s yet to have anyone hire him for an appeal but if so, there’s always the possibility of appealing the ruling to Superior Court, which would then set a precedent for the citizens of Federal Way. “I agree that these infractions, the judges at the municipal court [level], oftentimes they can have different rulings on the same issue,” he said. “But I believe that out of fairness for taxpaying citizens, there really should be some consistency across the board on the matter.”

Alexander Anderson works on his airborne wind turbine, which took him three years to build. Contributed photo board, said Patrick McCarty, the city of Tacoma’s representative for the

Anderson for progress meetings, and also helped connect him with the right people, such as the plant manager at Wild Horse Wind Farm, where the turbine took its test flight, McCarty said. “[Alexander] is an extraordinarily bright young man,” McCarty said. “It was a pleasure working with Alexander and his team.”

Anderson will now pursue a master’s degree in power systems engineering, “which will come in handy in testing the autopilot and hydrogen systems of APEGASUS,” he said.

Future models of his turbine will use hydrogen instead of helium and will come with an electrolysis system, which sends electricity through water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. Work on these implements began when he paid off his $1,000 helium bill, he said.

Anderson’s design is one of only a few airborne turbines.

“The technology is still in its infancy,” he said.

The association is pleased to support research and innovation through the grant program, he said.

“We congratulate Tacoma Power and Alexander Anderson from Saint Martins University on successful completion of our grant program,” Hyland said.

When he returns to school, Anderson will look into grid connection possibilities. He is also working on a renewable energy

generator, for which he is currently filing patent paperwork. The generator will go to the Jikawa province in Papua New Guinea, Anderson said. He and his parents also recently finished building a water harvesting and distribution system for the province.

“Inventing is easy when you keep in mind that a dream or an idea ultimately must serve a higher goal and address a need,” he said.

Anderson’s parents pursued degrees in engineering with their son, starting at Green River Community College when he was 12 years old. The family graduated from Saint Martin’s University in May.
