Boy injured during shoot-out BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

A 14-year-old boy was shot in his shoulder during an apparent domestic shoot-out in Federal Way on Tuesday night. Police are searching for two suspected shooters involved in the incident that occurred in the 1800 block of S. 288th St. at around 9:24 p.m. The boy, who suffered from a gunshot wound to his right shoulder, was transported to Harborview Medical Center and is in stable condition, said Cathy Schrock, a Federal Way police spokeswoman. The boy and 17-yearold female suspect recently ended a relationship and both parties have made vandalism allegations against each other, Schrock said. Police believe a 30-yearold male suspect, who is possibly from Tacoma and associated with the 17-year-old, shot the victim. The man is also suspected of firing at two other juvenile victims from Federal Way, but did not strike them, police said. A second 24-year-old female suspect, of Federal Way, also fired a pistol at two female victims, police believe. They were not struck. Detectives found two SUVs near the incident that are associated with the crimes and police are attempting to locate the suspects.

South King Fire to host 9/11 memorial dedication FROM STAFF REPORTS

South King Fire and Rescue will host a public dedication to its newly constructed 9/11 memorial on Sept. 11, the 13th anniversary of this tragic day in American history. The ceremony will start at noon in front of Fire Station 64, 3700 S. 320th St. This unique site con-

tains elements from the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed. It is one of the few projects of this kind that brings together items from each of the 9/11 crash sites. Building the memorial was a community-wide effort constructed mostly by firefighters, along with generous donations from fire departments, service groups and individual residents. Area businesses provided donations of material and labor to make this project possible.

proved a South King Fire and Rescue bond since the early 1990s, according to a copy of the proposed bond. Throughout the years, the fire department transferred operating revenues from the general fund into a capital reserve account to fund capital equipment, apparatus and facility needs. But, according to firefighter officials, the Great Recession caused their capital reserve system “to be used only as absolutely necessary” and they experienced a 30 percent annual reduction in property tax revenue. The proposed 20-year bond, as it currently stands, would cost taxpayers 26 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation or $65 a year, $5.42 a month, for a house costing $250,000. Assistant Chief Ed Plumlee said South King Fire and Rescue, which serves Federal Way residents, parts of unincorporated King County and Des Moines, responded to 15,567 alarm calls in 2009, 16,408 times in 2013 and he anticipates a much

“We’re getting busier,” he said, adding that there are many housing developments planned for Federal Way in the near future. According to Plumlee, three apartment complexes, two senior living centers, one town home complex, a school and two businesses are in the works. He estimates Federal Way will have 1,330 additional multi-family units in the coming years. Because of this growth, responses are likely to increase as the population in Federal Way increases. But preparing for the future isn’t cheap. The replacement of five engine trucks will cost $3.2 million, one ladder truck will cost $1.2 million, five aid car replacements will cost $1.18 million, the Marine 67 fire boat will cost $750,000, the Hazardous Materials Unit Tow Vehicle will be about $40,000 and the battalion chief ’s command vehicle will cost $52,500. Staff vehicle replacements will cost $600,000 as the department needs four new administrative

vehicles, four prevention vehicles, three training/ fleet vehicles and three motor pool vehicles. “These are engines that cannot be second class,” Plumlee said, citing an example of a failed Seattle Fire Department engine. Church said this would only replace a little more than a quarter of their fleet and certainly does not constitute as a full vehicle restoration. South King Fire and Rescue currently has 54 fleet vehicles, including emergency response vehicles, a fire boat, staff vehicles, special operations apparatus and equipment trailers. “The fleet division is keeping up but an undersized shop and aging fleet makes it difficult,” said Plumlee, adding there’s a value in having the fleet on-site. The proposed bond suggested the department’s vehicle maintenance facility be attached and rebuilt with the new station, however, commissioners discussed moving it to property near Station 64.

reflect this wish, nor does it reflect the commissioners’ desire to look into whether solar paneling on the new station and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification would be viable options. What the bond does cover is $26 million in station renovation, upgrades and the construction of Station 60. Stations 61, 64, 65 and the new facilities need new generators, all of the stations need “immediate” occupancy improvements, as well as decontamination and bunker gear storage facilities. New roofing is required at stations 62, 63, 64 and 67, while fencing, security measures, maintenance and operational improvements for mechanical and electrical systems and fueling station upgrades are proposed for all of the stations too. The stations were built between 1964 and 1987, with the majority built in the 60s and 70s. Church said there will be between eight and 10 public meetings throughout the fire district to educate the public on the age of their facilities and apparatus as well as allow public input and comment on the bond. A tentative schedule for these meetings is set for October but is subject to change. For the bond measure to be on the February special election ballot — South King Fire and Rescue’s initial goal — the board of commissioners has until November to approve the bond so that it can be sent to King County no later than Dec. 26.

School district hires new director of equity and achievement FROM STAFF REPORTS

Federal Way Public Schools announced the selection of Laura Davis Brown to head the Office of Equity and Achievement, a senior management position responsible for advancing the district’s commitment to equity in schools for students and staff. Brown brings more than two decades of

[ COLLEGE from page 1]

a college to the city. And last month, the Federal Way City Council announced it was seeking to attract colleges and universities downtown. The Intellectual Innovation Zone initiative was spearheaded by Councilwoman Kelly Maloney, who said bringing colleges to Federal Way would also attract Fortune 500 companies and other businesses that want to work in concert with the colleges by hiring graduates from programs, such as research and development. “I have been talking about this literally for years,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell, who noted that he has worked closely with Maloney on the initiative. He said city leaders recently met with representatives from Washington State University and got some suggestions on how to proceed with attracting colleges. The Council and mayor have also had conversations with representatives from Central Washington University and Highline College. There are many technicalities, such as

experience in various roles, which focus on equity and achievement, including serving as a school principal, counselor, social worker and family advocate. For the past six years she has been principal of Mirror Lake Elementary, Saghalie Middle School and Technology Access Foundation Academy in Federal Way. Prior to joining Federal Way Public Schools, Brown worked for 10 years as a counselor in the Seattle School District. “Improving opportunities of students to learn and become academically, socially, and emotionally successful is the cornerstone of education,” said Brown. conducting a needs assessment of the market, the city would have to wade through to bring a college here, he noted. “If we’re going to have a branch campus, there’s a lot that goes in there in regards to state funding.” Ferrell also said the Weyerhaeuser campus is an “ideal” location for a college. “I like the idea of pursuing and investigating whether what eventually occupies that space would be a higher education facility — that would dovetail the efforts that we’ve taken so far.” Maloney agreed and said if all goes well, locating a college on the Weyerhaeuser campus would fit in with the Intellectual Innovation Zone. “The initial concept was to locate the colleges in the downtown core to create synergy down there,” Maloney said. “That is still a good idea. But if Weyerhaeuser turns out to be a feasible location for this initiative, it could still create the economic development benefits that this initiative was created for. Everything’s on the table.”

scandal rocked England last week, when a report revealed that town authorities knowingly covered up the systemic abduction and rape of young British girls (and a few boys) in the town of Rotherham. The report showed that town officials knew this was going on for the better part of 16 years (19972013), but that no action was taken at any point during that time. The reason why? The officials and bureaucrats who were aware of the problem were afraid of confronting it because they feared being labelled racists. Unfortunately, this fear of being called racist was because the perpetrators of this horror were Muslim immigrants from Pakistan. In short, political correctness went horribly wrong in this case, and led to the continued abuse of at least 1,400 British children. (It’s believed the number of children abused is probably higher.) Some of the abuses the report revealed, beyond the sex slavery part, found that victims were threatened with guns and doused in gasoline and threatened with being set on fire. Truly horrible things, for anyone with an ounce of common sense. Political correctness’s ability to distort reality meant that, as the report revealed, at least a third of these cases were known to town officials and others. But, because of the pressures of multiculturalism and political correctness, no one could rightly call out the horror being perpetrated upon the children. The intent of political correctness played out perfectly in Rotherham. To control people, political correctness controls language and discourse. And in this instance, political correctness compelled those with the power to stop this horror into inaction. This, then, is the horror of political correctness. Another part of this tragedy falls under the idea known as “anarcho-tyranny.” This is a concept that describes situations within a society where the law is being flagrantly violated, while relatively minor infractions are punished with the full power of the state’s law enforcement apparatus. In coverage of [ more MY TURN, page 7 ]

Nero and Weyerhaeuser? What had been feared for many months jumped from rumor mill to reality last week as Weyerhaeuser announced it was ending its 40year relationship with Federal Way and moving to Seattle. At a time when the economy seems to be rebounding, the City Council just approved Mayor Jim Ferrell’s recommendation to build a new $32 million Performing Arts and Conference Center and recently announced plans to move forward on an economic summit, the news in the short-term is devastating. Residents and bloggers have raised questions on how Ferrell could have let this happen, and his rumored absence from City Hall during the crucial time will draw unfavorable comparisons to Nero and the burning of Rome. But is that fair? Could city officials have talked Weyerhaeuser out of moving to Seattle? Of course not. The executives that run Weyerhaeuser respond to pressures from national and

world events. Also, this is not the same local ownership that was invested in Federal Way or Tacoma previously. And the city does not have the resources to even play a role in the decision making of a company that size. But Ferrell and the city council won’t escape blameless either. During Ferrell’s race with incumbent Mayor Skip Priest last year, Ferrell was critical of Baden Sports and Orion leaving town on Priest’s watch. Fine companies, but neither is in the same league as Weyerhaeuser and this did happen on Ferrell’s watch. Ferrell was also critical of Priest’s administration for being unaware that Baden had left town and yet Ferrell says he only learned secondhand six weeks ago that Weyerhaeuser was leaving and then sent a letter. Mayors and council members get credit and blame for the things that happen while they are in office, whether or not they had anything to do with either. It goes with the job.

Student input in superintendent selection I recently had coffee with a community member and the topic of the selection process for the new superintendent came up. Some points went back to coverage from Sept 14, 2011 by your opinion columnist Bob Roegner. However, one point of interest raised was the possibility of having students participate in the selection evaluation process. The idea seemed to have

many positive benefits to consider and highlighted the value of community input. People do not have a monopoly on good ideas by virtue of a job title so more brainpower is always better than a few. Any opportunity we can find to incorporate learning about real life while in school should be leveraged whenever possible. What a great opportunity it would be for the elected student body president and vice president at our high schools to evaluate and rank candidate resumes, develop recommendations for interview questions and sit in on the interviews to provide their evaluations and rankings for the school board for our consideration. They could contact student body representatives at schools or districts where candidates would

be coming from to supplement their assessment. This could provide a great insight into the world of personnel selection processes. They could learn a great deal about themselves and come to appreciate the value of diverse perspectives in arriving at better understandings on which to base their judgment. In many ways, it can also mirror the jury deliberation process and how people judge credibility and attribute characteristics to people regardless of what that person may have said or what credentials they might possess. Some organizations conduct “climate” surveys to help leadership set the course for the future. The Federal Way school district could conduct a community survey to get input on what the community wants to see in terms of future program

emphasis, personal qualities, future outcomes or key selection factors. The school board would certainly find this information useful and so would the panel of student body officials. Community survey inputs could help shape questions for the interviews and set criteria to narrow the pool of candidates for interviews. It could also be a great opportunity for the community to communicate and reconnect with their school district. On further examination of this concept, there came a peripheral point of interest. Many schools have traditional policies requiring that certain academic standards be met in order for a student to participate in student government. Students who don’t meet a particular academic standard, say a “B” (3.0 grade point average), are prevented from running

for student body positions. We have to wonder how many presidents of the United States would have been eliminated for lack of a college transcript showing a “B” average? The civics question then becomes, if a disabled student can try out for the wrestling team with a “C” (2.0) average, then why can’t that same student run for student body government? Good question for the Associated Student Body and the parents of children at our schools to discuss and consider.

Sammamish. This entity has absolutely no connection with a national group, Working Families, based in New York, which concerns itself with affordable housing, fighting climate change, reforming criminal justice, making higher education debt free, fair taxation, quality public education, accessible health care, a livable minimum wage, getting money out of politics, paid sick days for workers — the list goes on and on and is one that Jesus Christ the social justice advocate

www.federalwaymirror.com would recommend. However, the only purpose for existence of the Sammamish group is sending out ugly photochopped portrayals of Song that contain malicious lies about her. Here is what I know about Working Families in Sammamish: its location is a post office box, No. 104, at the post office located at 704 228th Ave. NE, Sammamish, WA 98074. It has a phone number, (206) 617-9762, the voicemail of one Jeff (Jefferson) Davis. Who knows what dark-moneyed political group is behind this malicious, hate-filled front.

It could be Iranian, it could be Russian, it might be the Koch Brothers or Karl Rove. We don’t know these things anymore because the U.S. Supreme Court says it is fine for dark and ugly campaign money vilifying decent candidates for office to be secretly sourced.

The issue based on the article is that a brat got out of control in the classroom and the teacher did what she considered appropriate steps to resolve it. I am sick and tired of everything charging racism. The young man ought to be spanked, either by his parents or the teacher.

The Mirror previously reported that voters passed a levy in 2012 that will take 60 cents per $100,000 in house value, to be put toward the construction, generating $60 million. That is inaccurate. Federal Way voters passed a levy in 2012 that will collect $10 million per year, at an approximate tax rate of 92 cents per thousand, for six years. For a home valued at $150,000, that’s equal to about $137 per year, or $11 a month. The Mirror strives for accuracy and regrets the error.

Rotherham, it’s been reported that two fathers tracked their children to the places their children were being held and demanded them back from the gangs that had stolen them. The result? They were arrested themselves, while police did nothing to the men committing the truly horrible crimes. Another part of the tyranny in the anarcho-tyranny aspect of this story was that in 2012, this same group of town officials and bureaucrats used their power to remove foster children from a Rotherham home. The reason for the removal? The foster parents belonged to Britain’s UKIP party, a faction analogous to our own Tea Party here in the U.S. This was during the time when over 1,400 children were being abducted for the purpose of sex slavery, and, just in case the point has not been made completely clear yet, the town officials knew this was going on. The terrifying thing about Rotherham is that many believe this dynamic has

been going on elsewhere in the U.K., but hasn’t yet come to light for many of the same reasons as Rotherham. Rotherham may be instructive closer to home as well. It can certainly be argued that the overuse of the word racist in England, whether warranted or not, led to the paralysis exhibited by the Rotherham officials and bureaucrats. What about in Federal Way? With recent allegations of racism bubbling up against Federal Way Public Schools, one can’t help but be concerned that the almost reflexive use of the word by so many in this day and age might not lead to the same sort of paralysis somewhere down the road. One can easily conceive of a situation where a bully might not be able to be properly addressed due to a fear by school officials of being called racist. (Add into this the recent push for addressing the disproportionate discipline issue, and it’s even easier to see such a situation.) This is the horror of political correctness, of thought and speech control. All this leaves one wondering: What exactly have we created here?

September 5, 2014 [7] [ ROEGNER from page 4] circles, Ferrell and Council members will get some blame. Worse, the actual move to Seattle, and all the likely media coverage about it, will occur just a few months before the next mayoral election cycle in 2017, when Ferrell and three Council members will be up for election. That leaves 2015 and 2016 to make a bad situation better. Some wonder why Ferrell didn’t meet with Weyerhaeuser his first week in office and talk to them about their plans, and at least show some interest in the community’s most visible corporation and the 800 people who work there. It would have made the current efforts at spin control more plausible. And while the executives might not have changed their mind, those 800 employees, some of whom might lose their jobs, would have known that somebody cared. Also, Ferrell and the Council have been pushing recruitment of new business and Ferrell’s choice for Economic Development director seems to share Ferrell’s, and some Council members’, preference for big high visibility ideas. In his campaign, Ferrell said if he were elected he would get on a plane and go recruit businesses to come here. The symbolism seemed catchy, but most economic development experts will tell you that you build your economic foundation on businesses that are already here. And Seattle Mayor Ed Murray accidentally rubbed a little salt in the wound when he referred to adding Weyerhaeuser to Seattle’s economic stable as a “game changer.” That is one of Ferrell’s favorite expressions and it couldn’t be more true. Seattle’s game changed for the better and in the short-term ours changed for the worse. Although city officials may not have been able to stop the move, they have left themselves wide open for second guessing about what they could have done, what their priorities are and their economic development strategy. Now they are scrambling to try and put a good face on a bad situation. Most of the ideas put forth so far sound good on the surface but are unrealistic. The number of people and corporations that have the capital to do something constructive with the property is a pretty short list. And the regulations for siting a public institution, such as a college, in addition to the taxpayer costs, make that concept a long shot at best. Some state legislators don’t want to fund basic education, despite a court mandate; another college doesn’t seem likely to get very far. Lastly, it’s Weyerhaeuser’s property, not the city’s. Profit will likely be their guide on the property sale. But there is opportunity in this situation if public and private leaders can move from a crisis reactive mode to one of thoughtful, deliberate planning. Leaders are judged by how they respond to crisis, now is the time for measured longterm-thinking leadership. But not too long, the political clock is ticking.

Council tables plan to add more amenities at downtown park BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

he Federal Way City Council and Mayor Jim Ferrell agreed to table a previous plan to install playground equipment at Town Square Park, following a lively discussion regarding the park’s future during a meeting Tuesday. “There had been an agenda item to possibly add some playground equipment to our Town Square Park,” Ferrell said as an introduction. “There [was a realization that there] needed to be a much more strategic vision moving forward with the park. We have the beginnings of a plan.” Brian Wilson, the city’s chief of staff, outlined some of the issues raised in previous discussions of Town Square Park’s future, noting that the main points boiled down to whether the park should remain four acres in size, whether the city would entertain any possible private development of the property the park sits on and where in the park permanent amenities should be placed. “First, should the Town Square Park remain a fouracre park? Our answer is yes. But we also want to keep Town Square Park at its current size, with the city remaining open to consider potential development that may be possible on the east and west portions of the park,” Wilson said during his presentation. As far as the permanent amenities are concerned, Wilson noted that Ferrell has “retained the services of Nakano Associates for planning of more permanent amenities on the site.” Nakano Associates was the firm the city contracted with earlier this year to get the park to its current state and with its current features. Wilson

Police deploy automated external defibrillators in patrol cars FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way Police Department has joined the coordinated effort to increase the chances of saving a life by adding 14 automated external defibrillator devices in police patrol cars. The purchase was approved in the 2012 Justice Assistance Grant program. Police officers are often the first responder for criminal and medical emergencies, so it makes sense to provide this equipment to benefit

the community, officials said. Early defibrillation increases the likelihood of survival. The 14 devices will be distributed evenly among the shifts for 24/7 automated external defibrillator coverage in the community. Federal Way officers will be dispatched along with medical personnel to calls involving high possibilities of cardiac issues. Due to the constant deployment of patrol units, these life saving devices will sometimes arrive on scene sooner and allow this highly effective device to be applied earlier and increase the likelihood of survival. Coordination between the Federal Way Police Department, local fire departments and EMS organizations, as well as Valley Communications will ensure proper

Town Square Park features a chess game with large pieces, as well as other amenities. File photo park has had so far. It’s rewarding to see that energy in the downtown. I too am concerned, though, about having that entire four acres dedicated to the park … I thought from the beginning it was supposed to be two acres of park, two acres of development … My concern is that it’s going to be an enormous amount of money spent on a park, where we should be spending some of that money on a marketing plan to market two acres for mixed-use development.” “That’s why we wanted Nakano’s help, to move forward in a way in which we could fully realize the benefits of a park, while not just simply waiting for some kind of development down the road,” Ferrell said in response to Maloney’s concerns. “This property has been sitting there for years, a pile of rubble, while we’ve been going back and forth waiting. What we want to do is activate that site … Stasis and leaving it where it is right now is not a path forward.” Councilmember Dini Duclos said she thinks developing the park more fully has the potential to be a spark for the outside investment the city is hoping will be attracted to the downtown core in the near future.

dispatching methods. Police officers are currently trained in the proper use of the devices. A device was issued to Officer Justin Wilson on Sept. 1, when he received his first 911 dispatch of CPR in progress. His arrival time was two minutes; he discovered a bystander performing CPR on a 63-year-old man who had collapsed while jogging on a nearby trail. Wilson immediately deployed his device and placed it on the patient. The device advised to deliver a shock, which he did. After the shock was delivered, CPR was continued and fire and medic personnel arrived continuing life-saving treatment, including two subsequent shocks. The patient was later transported to Auburn Regional

“I’m excited we actually have a park and are going to do something with it,” she said. “And I think that will actually help get development around it, maybe residential development, because they’ll have a park right there for children to play in … This is all very exciting and I’m glad to see that the Council is going to take action on it.” “I’m really supportive of this policy,” said Councilman Martin Moore. “There’s a huge opportunity for the future of Federal Way … My vision is to see people having lunch in the park because they’re coming out of their offices. I think there’s a lot of partnership opportunities in the future … I’m reminded of ‘If you build it, they will come.’” The Council tabled the motion to purchase playground equipment for the park, so Nakano Associates is able to do their work and present their plans to the Council at a later date. The proposed plan for the playground equipment would have seen the city spending up to $56,000 for the equipment. The motion that was tabled also included an item that would have the city spending “less than $20,000” on trees for the park.

Medical Center with a functional heart rhythm and stable blood pressure. “Federal Way Police Department is proud that this life-saving device could be utilized almost immediately upon the launch of the program, delivering a live-saving result in our community,” said Police Chief Andy Hwang.” Federal Way Police will track all deployments of the devices for potential expansion of the program in the future. According to King County Public Health, someone who has a cardiac arrest in King County has a greater chance of survival than anyone else in the world, according to the latest analysis by county officials.

When he took over as head coach, Zenisek had one of the best quarterbacks to ever step foot on the campus in Jon Kitna. “He was a very competitive young man,” says Zenisek. “He was fun to coach and watch. By his senior year he was so poised it was unbelievable. That’s what led him to have as long of a career as he had in the NFL. He was a great young man.” Some of the other coaches on Zenisek’s staff went on to bigger things later in their careers as well. Greg Olsen was the offensive coordinator of the team, the same position he now holds with the Oakland Raiders. The quarterback’s coach was Beau Baldwin, the current head coach of Eastern Washington.

The Seattle Impact FC has signed its first midfielder, Micah Wenzel. The Impact are the newest members of the 23team Major Arena Soccer League, the indoor game’s

top-tier division throughout North America Born in Federal Way, Wenzel is a former Bellarmine Prep High School and University of Puget Sound star. Wenzel played for indoor soccer teams in Tacoma from 2007 to 2013. During his three-year stint with Tacoma’s semipro team, Wenzel helped the Stars capture the 2010 national championship,

was done with coaching and took a break as his daughter went through high school. After her graduation, he got the itch to coach again. “I took a defensive coordinator job at Mercer Island and realized that this is what I was meant to do,” says Zenisek. “It’s my calling.” After one season at Mercer Island, he took the Tenino job that he held before coming to Jefferson. It was at Tenino last year where he achieved another first of his coaching career when they won a division title, something he had never accomplished. Zenisek believes that the team he built at Tenino was due to team unity. He aims to build the same type of chemistry and success with the Raiders in the coming years.

Former Seahawks, volunteers help upgrade school playground BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

ormer Seahawks Steve Largent, Mack Strong and Warren Moon joined more than 50 volunteers and representatives of United Way of King County and Dairy Management Inc. to help uplift Federal Way’s Lake Grove Elementary playground on students’ first day back to school. As the second-oldest campus in the school district, volunteers renovated Lake Grove Elementary’s playground on a $20,000 grant by adding some “rock” play structures and painting hopscotch, four square and other activities on the pavement to create a “Peaceful Playground.” The project is one of many activities surrounding the 2014 NFL Kickoff leading up to yesterday’s game at Century Link Field. “I’ve always made a commitment to be involved in the community I’ve lived in,” said Largent in an interview, who was a Seahawks wide receiver for 13 years. “Seattle was a community I lived in for a long time and I still love Seattle. It’s fun to be back, to be part of this with the NFL, the people that are out here working today, and to show that it was important when I was a player and it’s still important today.” Largent said it’s encour-

aging to see athletes, such as Russell Wilson, have such dedication to their community and it’s great to be able to point his almostnine grandchildren in that direction. “I think it’s important that players have the opportunity to set a positive example,” Largent said. “They can set a real negative example as well, but they have the opportunity to set a positive example and sometimes that’s not heard as much as the negative but I think it’s more important.” Strong spent much of the time digging holes and pouring cement for a rock structure while Largent painted hopscotch squares. Doug Rutherford, the principal at Lake Grove, said at the end of the volunteer work, the playground will have 40 stenciled activities that encourage activity. “We feel very fortunate,” Rutherford said. “We’re in a community that’s very supportive of the schools and we want our school to be inviting and look good to our students.” Rutherford added the project was able to come together all because of physical education teacher Dana Henry. Each year, United Way and the NFL team together for the NFL Kickoff Community Legacy Project. “United Way of King County, the Seattle Se-

ahawks and the NFL all have a common goal and that is making sure that all kids have an equal chance at success,” said United Way spokesman Jared Erlandson. “That means we need kids to be healthy, active and have access to nutritional food so they can learn at school and excel in life.” Henry said she believes Lake Grove was chosen because of the school’s participation in the “Fuel Up to Play 60,” a program by the NFL and Washington State Dairy Council. “Our school worked really hard last year to have kids be more active before school,” Henry said. “We added some before school things and after school. We had walking club in the morning, we offered tennis, basketball, soccer and track after school and we did different things during the school day.” Lake Grove was one of 14 schools in the district involved in the “Fuel Up to Play 60” program last year. “For the first time since I’ve been in the district, the nutrition department sat down with P.E. people and we talked together about what we could do to support kids,” Henry said. “Half of the grant money we got from ‘Fuel Up to Play 60’ went to the nutrition department and they designed healthier menus for kids and they got a

that the suspect gave him a cup with soda in it. According to the victim, about 30 minutes later, “things went foggy.” The victim said that the suspect then told him they were going somewhere, and drove the victim’s car to a residence in SeaTac. Once at that residence, the victim said the suspect “used a needle filled with an unknown type of liquid and injected it into [the victim’s] arm.” This caused the victim to lose consciousness, and that during that time he was “sodomized multiple times against his will.” The victim indicated that eventually the drugs wore off enough “so that he could stand and flee out of the house.” Once outside, the victim realized the suspect had likely stolen his car because the car was gone. The report notes that the victim, when talking with Federal Way police, indicated “he wanted to think over his options (of pursuing any further action in either Federal Way or SeaTac) and mostly wanted to put the incident behind him.” Gunshot reported at fight: At 12:48 a.m. on Aug. 30 in the 30000 block of 17th Ave. SW, two callers reported a large group was in a fight and that a gun was fired sometime during the melee.

Todd Beamer locked down on students’ second day of school BY RAECHEL DAWSON

rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

odd Beamer High School was placed on lockdown for an hour Thursday morning, the second day of school. Federal Way Public Schools said the external lockdown, from 7:50-9 a.m., was due to police activity in the area and that students and staff were not in danger. Cathy Schrock with the Federal Way Police Department said the lockdown was done because police were searching for a suicidal 17-year-old, a former Todd Beamer student. “[Wednesday] afternoon, there was a call into our front desk from a counselor regarding a 17-year-old student who suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies,” Schrock said. The counselor and officer had a conversation centered on problem solving and the best course of action. However, when the same officer came in this morning, Schrock said there was a late telephone message

from the counselor who indicated the boy made more statements about suicide and that maybe he would die at the school. “From a law enforcement perspective, when a person is making comments about hurting themselves or others, they suggest an involuntary commitment,” Schrock said. Federal Way police officers tried to locate him and suggested the external lockdown in case he may have been at the school. They found the boy at a friend’s house and transported him

for a mental evaluation. “The student was never on campus [Wednesday], but we wouldn’t have known that until we went through the proper channels,” Schrock said, adding that the school district will likely be sending out something in writing to parents later on. District officials said parents and guardians should have received updates through their automated phone messaging system or could find them at www. fwps.org or www.facebook. com/fwps210.

The Natural Choice for Senior Living

September 5, 2014 [15]

www.federalwaymirror.com

Q&A with Mr. FW: City officials should check the Seahawks’ game schedule : Mr. Federal Way, the school district had an all-employee rally at the Christian Faith Center on Tuesday. Too bad our high schools are apparently not good enough for the school district to use any of them for this rally and would rather give our educational dollars to a religious organization to rent a facility. Ridiculous! What are your thoughts on this? A: Mr. Federal Way thinks Christian Faith Center was chosen for exactly the reason the district gave: it’s the only facility large enough to hold the number of people who attended. Mr. Federal Way notes that the district employs 2,688 people, with 1,246 of those employees being teachers. When Mr. Federal Way thinks of the four high schools in Federal Way, Mr. Federal Way cannot envision a space in any of those schools large enough to hold nearly 3,000 people. As far as the money goes, Mr. Federal Way is unaware if any money was actually paid out by the district to Christian Faith Center for use of the facility, and even if it was, Mr. Federal Way, at least, has no problems with that. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I would like to know your thoughts on Weyerhaeuser Corp. moving out of Federal Way. I live not far from the corporate location and we love the open space there for walking our dog and the open fields. I really hope

that we don’t end up seeing houses built there. I would like to see some of the trails and open space left alone. A: Ahh, the company so many Federal Wayans identified as theirs is abandoning ship — tis a little thing called life, Mr. Federal Way thinks. While Mr. Federal Way cannot predict what will go there in the far future, it likely won’t be housing because there’s a little thing the city needs to abide by called “zoning code.” The Weyerhaeuser property is currently zoned CP 1 (Corporate Park), an office zone, meaning houses cannot go there. However, citizens, developers and your mom have the ability to request a change in zoning, so long as they go through the correct process set forth by the city. Several public officials have voiced their desire for a college at the site, which would probably allow you to keep walking your dog around the area if there’s some sort of track. But, if not, Mr. Federal Way suggests you take a look around your city because there’s 19 neighborhood parks in the city of Federal Way to choose from. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I’m so torn between going to the city’s public meeting to meet the city attorney candidates and watching the kickoff for the first Seahawks game of the season — NOT. But still, why would the city hold this meet-

ing during something you know every true Washingtonian will be watching? A: You know how the Mirror has this new “Letter of the Week” business? Well, Mr. Federal Way thinks you deserve the “Question of the Week” award. Mr. Federal Way is

dumbfounded that the city thought of hosting a public meeting for the city attorney candidates on Thursday. When you put the Seahawks up against a city meeting, it’s a no-brainer. Nevertheless, Mr. Federal Way does have to commend city officials for hosting a public meeting

in this case. It’s great that they recognize the value in connecting taxpayers, or community members, to those who they’ll be paying, or depending on, to keep this city as great as it is. Mr. Federal Way just feels bad for the candidates and the city officials

who were actually forced to be at this meeting. Q: Mr. Federal Way, does the Mirror pay you per column or per hour? A: None of your business.

One of them is to be in an economic redevelopment zone. What we’re asking Council is to classify this area as a redevelopment zone, so that we can qualify, or businesses that are

Kent police arrested a Federal Way man for investigation of reckless driving after the man reportedly hit estimated speeds of 80 to 90 mph driving a motorcycle along Pacific Highway South while eluding an officer. An officer initially spotted the motorcyclist near the 27100 block of Pacific Highway South on Aug. 25 going about 56 mph in a 45 mph zone southbound on Pacific Highway South, according to the police report. The motorcyclist then pulled into the driveway near the police vehicle and sped through a strip mall parking lot before returning

to Pacific Highway. The officer activated his siren but the motorcyclist kept driving southbound on Pacific Highway, swerving in and out of traffic and moving from the far left lane to the far right lane, hitting estimated speeds of 80 to 90 mph near the 28000 block. With many vehicles on the highway, the officer terminated his pursuit after only a few blocks. But he had the license plate of the motorcycle and tracked the man down at a Federal Way home. The man told police he had seen the patrol vehicle but didn’t stop because he couldn’t afford another ticket. Police arrested the man for investigation of reckless driving as well as cited him for speeding, expired tabs and not having a motorcycle endorsement on his license.

ing for the federal program has been a learning experience, and attributed the misstep to that. “We’re getting better at knowing the key elements that make the difference between success and not success,” he said. “And oftentimes, it’s the little stuff that gets that done.” Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge agreed with Wilson’s assessment. “Our city has not worked with New Markets Tax Credits previously to this project. The more you work with this kind of process, doing the research and bringing on people who do have experience with the process, the more you learn and the more effective you become with the application,” she said. Maloney wondered if approving this designation would have any

unintended consequences that could block potential outside interest in the area in the future. “I don’t see any downfall or adverse effects,” Ariwoola replied. “And [that assessment] is based on conversations with our lawyer also.” Honda raised concerns with language in the motion regarding the powers being delegated to Mayor Jim Ferrell, and also how a current moratorium in the area would be effected. Interim city attorney Amy Jo Pearsall said the mayor’s powers weren’t being expanded in any way, and that the motion would have no effect on the current moratorium.

5 reasons you shouldn’t have sex every night

recent Huffington Post article entitled “5 Reasons You Should Have Sex With Your Husband Every Night” (www. huffingtonpost.com/megconley) is making its way around social media — though it seems like it might fit better with Cosmo than Huffington Post. After reading this admittedly “20-something” point of view along with a bunch of comments by friends who’ve posted it and shared it with me, I’d like to share “5 Reasons Not to Have Sex with Your Husband Every Night.” 1) Let’s start with the obvious: You do not have a husband. Even though the post was in Huffington Post’s wedding section, the article assumes you are a woman, that you are or are going to get married and if and when you do, you will have a husband. This is a heterosexist and sexist view. Many women

are not married, and some women are married, legally, to other women. Assuming that all women marry or want to marry, and all women marry men, and all women who marry men should have sex with them every night is ignorant, excluding, and demeaning to women, men and relationships in general. 2) If you do have a husband, he might not want to have sex with you every night. Consent doesn’t go away with marriage vows. Unfortunately, neither do stereotypes about women’s and men’s sex drives. A truly loving, committed relationship relies on two people agreeing on sexual behavior together. 3) Intimacy requires more than sex. If you want a close relationship with your partner or spouse (if you have one), you need to do more than play with body parts. Intimacy requires emotional sharing, caring, risk-

taking, listening, reciprocity and vulnerability. Sometimes, those go along with sexual intercourse, and sometimes, the two are totally separate. 4) Orgasm is not always the point of sexual behavior, as implied in the original article. Some people have never had an orgasm and some are physically unable to achieve this sensation. If you set up every sexual encounter to be good (we both had an orgasm) or bad (one or both of us didn’t), then you are missing a huge part of the joy possible with sharing your body with someone else in such an intimate way. Don’t get me wrong — orgasms can be wonderful. However, there are lots of ways to be physically intimate without that being the goal. 5) Sexuality is so much more than having sexual intercourse. Sexual behavior is about what we do. Sexuality is about who we are. Explore your senses together or alone; develop

intimacy with someone; cultivate health in your body; care about your reproductive health, choices, and rights; celebrate your sexual identity; stand up against double standards and inequity in relationships. Maybe you have sex every night and maybe you don’t. That is a personal choice between you and your partner. Just remember the bottom line: Being a sexually healthy person takes much more than having a lot of sex.

Immunization rates for state youth improve FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Immunization survey was released this month, and found that 71 percent of Washington state children under three years old got a “series of recommended vaccines” in 2013, which was up 6 percent from the immunization rate in 2012. The Washington state Department of Health notes that while this improvement is a positive step, it still falls short of the “Healthy People 2020” goal of 80 percent immunization rates. According to the department, the center’s data shows that for “all vaccines counted, rates increased across the board except for DTaP, the vaccine that prevents pertussis (whooping cough).” The department notes that this “especially concerning” given the whooping cough outbreak the state experienced in 2012. They point out that whooping cough “goes in cycles and tends to reappear about every three

to five years.” State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Loft said increasing the vaccination rate for whooping cough is important in these down years, because they may help prevent future outbreaks. “Even though our state’s whooping cough epidemic is over, we still have cases and this disease will always be in our communities,” she said. “We mustn’t let our guard down when it comes to whooping cough. This and other vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, are a plane ride away.” According to the department, immunization rates for the whooping cough vaccine actually decreased 4 percent from last year. Other vaccines, such as the Hib vaccine, which protects against diseases such as meningitis, and the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine exceeded national rates, although the department notes those rates “didn’t meet state or national goals.” However, immunization rates for polio, chickenpox, and measles exceeded the state and national goals of 90 percent, which is characterized as “good news” given recent outbreaks of measles in the state and throughout the country this year. Very few children are completely unvaccinated, but some parents choose to skip or delay getting their child some vaccines, which leaves kids at risk for serious diseases. Here in Washington, all recommended vaccinations for children through age 18 are provided by the state at no cost. While some health care providers may charge an office-visit fee and administration fee for providing vaccines, a family that can’t pay those fees can ask to have them waived. The Department of Health recommends residents contact their local health agency or call the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588 for help finding a provider.
