Planning Commission recommends ban on pot businesses FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Federal Way Planning Commission met on Wednesday to hear city staff recommendation on whether marijuana-related businesses should be allowed in certain zones. Senior Planner Janet Shull presented to the commission that marijuana retail businesses be allowed in the Community Business and Commercial Enterprise zoning districts, while marijuana processing and production facilities only set up shop in the Commercial Enterprise zones. In all cases, marijuanarelated businesses would be subject to state separation requirements that specify marijuana-related businesses be located at least 1,000 feet from sensitive land uses, which include daycares, schools, playgrounds, parks, recreation facilities, public transit centers, libraries or game arcades. City officials said no one spoke at the public hearing but a citizen submitted a letter on behalf of a marijuana retail license applicant. The letter encouraged the commission to approve the proposed regulations. However, the commission voted 5:1 to ban all recreational marijuana businesses in Federal Way. The Mirror will update this report in a future newspaper edition as more information becomes available.

he Federal Way City Council received a standing ovation at Tuesday’s council meeting after they unanimously voted to spend $221,000 toward the Federal Way Public Health Center’s operating costs for 2015. Seattle-King County Public Health officials announced back in spring that four health clinics, Federal Way and Auburn centers included, could close in 2015 because of a lack of state and federal funding. The funding gap to keep the Federal Way clinic open is about $1.5 million in
the county’s biennial budget, or $750,000 a year. Council voted on the one-time expenditure — which will cover 30 percent of the operating costs to keep the Federal Way center open another year — with a tentative deal that King County will cover the remaining 70 percent, pending labor agreements, said Mayor Jim Ferrell earlier this week. Several community members, said to be nurses in Public Health, attended the meeting and thanked the Council for their efforts. Hanna Welander said [ more HEALTH, page 8 ]

I believe occurred, caused me so much mental and physical pain,” the manager said. He said he had a good working relationship with Moore but felt he was personally attacked during the trial, as he said accusations were falsely made against him. Dennis Shen, the Multnomah County deputy district attorney, recommended Judge Thomas M. Ryan give Moore 76 months of prison time with 60 months of formal probation. Shen said that it shouldn’t be ignored that because Moore was a seemingly good person, that he did not commit the crimes. “When I look back on

Reforms and efficiencies help King County save 150,000 hours of Metro bus service FROM STAFF REPORTS
Reforms, efficiencies and a decline in fuel prices have enabled King County Executive Dow Constantine to propose preserving 150,000 hours of Metro bus service that had earlier been assumed for reduction. “Revenues have remained stable since March, while we have worked to identify additional savings that would allow us to add back more service,” said Constantine. “Our halfdecade of continuous improvement is yielding ever-greater efficiencies, making it possible to further reduce the necessary cuts. It’s welcome relief, but as increased crowding on many buses attests, we need to be adding service just to keep up with rising demand.” The 2015/2016 biennial budget for Metro that the executive will propose on Monday matches expenditures to available revenues by reducing the system by 400,000 hours of annual service, rather than the 550,000 hours proposed last spring. The County Council has approved the first round of 151,000 hours of service reductions, which take effect Sept. 27. The second round of 169,000 service hours slated for reduction in February was approved Tuesday by a Council committee, and is awaiting full Council action. The remaining 80,000 hours of unfunded service would be pushed back to March 2016, when budget analysts will have new economic numbers and a better understanding of how Metro service can integrate with the launch of Sound Transit’s U-Link line. The executive’s continuous improvement and Lean initiatives, countywide and at Metro, have produced significant savings. With the county’s move to a biennial budget, the dollar figures represent savings over a period of two years. In response to a 2009 performance audit, Metro has identified ways to better align service with fleet needs, enabling it to purchase 40 fewer buses without impacting service, for an estimated one-time savings of $40 million.
David McDonald, Moore’s new lawyer, pleaded with the judge to allow Moore to forgo prison time and spend it instead on probation so that he could continue to work to pay off restitution. Furthermore, he was prepared to give the court $10,000 upfront and $2,000 a month if the court would allow. “Mr. Moore’s the soul operator and proprietor of his business,” McDonald said. “Since the incident, he’s continued to be part of that business. He’s been under the scrutiny of anybody who wants to look at him. And he has operated that business free from any accusations whatsoever that he’s done anything wrong.” McDonald said people have contin- Tony Moore and his attorney go over paperwork following Moore’s sentencing hearing, while the bailiffs wait to put him in handcuffs on Tuesday in Oregon.

Carrie Rodriguez
orking in the journalism industry the past 10 years, I’ve seen my share of bad news. I’ve been on scene following stabbing and shooting murders, drownings, robberies and more. My email inbox is inundated daily with press releases that are sometimes so gruesome, I scan the dateline to ensure the news did not happen in Federal Way, and I quickly hit the delete button. This is a part of my job that I’ve come to accept over the years. Of course, sometimes certain breaking, investigative and other hard news stories pump my adrenaline. And most journalists crave this from time to time. But there’s another side of news that I also love, the kind that doesn’t always generate the highest ratings or website page views — good news. Being the editor of a community newspaper gives me the opportunity to witness, report and reflect on good news too. I get to meet people who do great things for Federal Way and who work tirelessly to improve our community. Some of these people are unsung heroes, who go about their day-to-day life without realizing the impact they have on us. And some of them are not moving mountains, but their small acts touch our lives so deeply that we will never forget them. This happened to me recently, while I was reporting on the city’s Inclusion Program. I went to the Federal Way Community Center to take photos of participants in a Fitness FUNdamentals class. Tina Pomeromtz immediately hugged me and called me her “buddy.” And Amy Novak shared one of her iPod earbuds with me, so I could listen to some country music with her. They embraced me and everyone else in the workout class and “inclusion” never had more meaning for me. While their kindness was a small deed, I went home that day feeling good and thinking about that day still makes me smile. These are also the kinds of acts that the Mirror would like to recognize in our monthly citizen of the month features. If you would like to recognize an unsung hero who did something, no matter how big or small, email your nominations to: editor@ fedwaymirror.com.
Q&A: Views on Weyerhaeuser, PACC and mayor I frequently get asked questions about the columns I write. Since other readers might have the same questions, here are a few along with my answers. Q. I read that Weyerhaeuser only contributes $31,000 in sales tax, so what’s the big deal about them leaving? A. Weyerhaeuser also contributes property taxes, and their corporate giving in support of our local charities and environmental issues has been outstanding. But, the biggest advantage to having them in Federal Way is that many of their 800 employees make good wages and live here or in surrounding communities. They pay property taxes, shop in our stores and eat in our restaurants. They benefit much of south King County and north Pierce County. Many of these people may now move out of the area. Weyerhaeuser leaving is a big deal. Q. You have mentioned in a column that we are still maturing politically as a city, what did
you mean by that? A. We have only been a city for 25 years, and we don’t have a road map of where we want to go. We don’t have a consensus on what kind of community we want to be. We have no long-range plan about our public and capital projects. Our downtown lacks definition. We talk about economic development, but what does that mean? What kind of businesses are we trying to attract? The change in the form of government to strong mayor may force the type of community debate we need to start establishing our priorities. But those races have also been hard on a community that isn’t used to more strident campaigns and the participation of special interest groups. We’ll get there but it will take time, organization and community participation by more residents than those who participate now. Q.You disagreed with the city attorney many times, are you glad she’s gone? [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Quibble about South King Fire’s justification South King Fire and Rescue is proposing a $45 million bond issue, noting as part of the justification the loss of property tax revenue from the housing market downturn. Here’s a news flash for South King Fire and all the other taxation authorities: there was no downturn. In wall street speak there was a market bubble followed by an inevitable correction.
Recognizing the bubble wasn’t particularly hard. Near doubling of housing values in a few short years was a clear indication that external, unnatural forces were at play. Equally obvious, at least to most of us, was that a correction was sure to follow. The only real questions were how high the bubble would go and how long would it last. Unfortunately, South King Fire (and most other government agencies) seem to have viewed the property tax windfall resulting from the bubble as the new status quo. Expenditures, budgets and capital project goals were all adjusted upward to the new higher revenue stream, without regard for the consequences of the certain reduction to follow. South King Fire is only the latest in a long list of government entities trying to maintain
operations and projects at the higher bubble level with a tax increase. The rational for the increase, as described in the Mirror, also looked and smelled to me like a crystal palace of the now-gone higher revenue stream. My message to South King Fire is twofold and simple. If you so much as mention housing downturn revenue loss as part of the justification, or if you fail to adjust your appetite to the current property valuation reality, I’m a no vote.

Opinion drips with gender, race privilege Your reporter’s “My Turn” column in the Sept. 5 issue is correct in that the systematic non-response to years of child sexual abuse and rape
is “horrific.” The rest is a rant against “political correctness” that drips with gender, race and class privilege. In Mr. Allmain’s view, somehow the police and local authorities are the victims in this case — beaten down by “political correctness” to the point that they could not do their jobs. Saying the Rotherham crimes were ignored due to “political correctness” is a convenient excuse offered by politicians and police to cover up the real reason these horrific crimes were not prosecuted — class bias and misogyny. Yes, the British tabloids and various right-wing politicians in London have complained that the perpetrators were not prosecuted because they were South Asian and Muslim. But, if true, it would be a near first: In Britain, as in the United States, people of color are overrepresented in courts
and in prisons. Had Mr. Allmain taken the time to read more thoughtful coverage in England, or even the New York Times, he would have learned that both the victims and their attackers were poor and working-class, many of the girls from dysfunctional homes, their rapists taxi drivers, restaurant workers and the like. A writer for The Guardian reported some authorities saw the whole situation as “nihilism of the underclass” and not worth the response that would have been given in a wealthier, more middle-class area. A recent New York Times article on the crimes reported: “Some officers and local officials told the investigation that they did not act for fear of being accused of racism. But Ms. Jay (the investigator who brought this tragedy to light) said that for years there was an undeniable culture of institutional sexism. Her

www.federalwaymirror.com A: Pat Richardson was an honest caring public employee trying to do the best job she could for the city. My disagreements with her were on policy only. On a personal level, I liked her. I was very disappointed with a couple of web posts calling her names. The comments were inaccurate and not what I expect from our residents. Q: What’s your opinion of the Performing Arts and Conference Center? The Blue Ribbon committee says we can afford it. A: At $32 million, it divided, rather than united the community. It didn’t achieve a consensus as the most important project needed in our city at this time. If it had, the city would have gladly put it on the ballot. I am not persuaded that it will be an economic stimulus to the downtown area, although I think it will help. The financing plan appears fragile, and whether or not the city can afford it? The jury is still out on that one. That said, if the city had
actually put it on the ballot and asked me to vote to tax myself for it I would have voted yes and urged the city to use the money they set aside for the Performing Arts and Conference Center to move City Hall, the police station and the courts downtown. Then we would have had the framework for a true city center. Q. You need to quit criticizing Mayor Jim Ferrell and get on board with the new administration. A. That’s not my job. Nor is it the job of the newspaper. Ferrell has a well paid communications manager to do that. Ferrell has accomplished a lot since he took office, but there have also been several areas where things could have gone better. My job is to raise questions for public debate, make suggestions and try to tell the readers what is really going on behind the scenes, not just what City Hall wants you to think is going on. Also, different points of view are essential to balanced public debate; we get to think for ourselves.
Correction The Mirror inadvertently did not include the final paragraphs of Bob Roegner’s column in last week’s issue. The Mirror strives for accuracy and regrets the error. Here is the rest of his column: And while it is impossible to say with certainty who knew what was going on, the process of elimination suggests names that would have been happy to help Doherty, and in some cases might have liked seeing Ferrell embarrassed. But it is clear, key people within city government, or with very close connections to it, did know what was going on and chose not to tell Ferrell. That includes Doherty himself. Ferrell has since stated that even if he had known about the Edmonds job he would
Q.Where do you come up with your ideas on what to write about? A. I read newspapers, magazines, attend meetings, talk to public officials and listen to residents. I also get ideas in church from my minister’s sermons. But don’t tell her that. When she sees me start to write furiously I want her to think I’m taking notes on her sermon, not writing my next column. Shhh! Q.What do you think of our local governments? A. I think the school district is pretty well run with a lot of good staff and teachers. The past superintendent and some board members became too distant from voters’ and parents’ concerns, and made some mistakes. Current leaders are trying to make corrections. Lakehaven Utility District seems to perform well, although I still think it should be part of city government. South King Fire and Rescue doesn’t appear to have the type of checks and balances in its governing structure that are essential.
still have taken action, because he felt it was the right thing to do and it was time for Doherty to be replaced. That seems unlikely for a new mayor who was already fearful of getting a reputation for firing people. But after the fact, he is somewhat stuck with the position. But the bigger issue for Ferrell in this insiders game, is learning a painful lesson about who he can trust. Some key people with connections inside City Hall knew some very important information and his intelligence gathering advisors should have been able to get that information for him, but they didn’t. On a bigger scale, it is a reminder that to some either the last election isn’t really over, or the next one has already started.
I would like to see them be part of city government as well. It would help if they had to compete with other government services for dollars, although it would be hard to untangle the way South King Fire and Rescue is set up to achieve that outcome.

[6] September 19, 2014 [ LETTERS from page 4] investigation heard that police referred to victims as ‘tarts’ and to the girls’ abuse as a ‘lifestyle choice.’” “In the minutes of a meeting about a girl who had been raped by five men, a police detective refused to put her into the sexual abuse category, saying he knew she had been ‘100 percent consensual.’ She was 12.” Your reporter describes the Rotherham situation as “anarcho-terrorism;” he is either uninformed of or is deliberately obscuring the meaning and history of that term. Far from being some neutral socio-political term, anarcho-terrorism was coined by Samuel Francis, a white supremacist, who wrote it means “we refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control
www.federalwaymirror.com the innocent (that’s the tyranny).” Some of Francis’s examples of tyrannical control of the innocent include taxes, seat-belt laws and multicultural school curricula. Some of his other beliefs include opposing “all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote nonwhite races over the European-American people through so-called affirmative action and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.” Francis also called for “white racial consciousness,” saying, “It is all very well to point to black cotton-pickers and Chinese railroad workers but the cotton fields and the railroads were there because white people wanted them and knew how to put them there. Almost
all non-European contributors to American history either have been made by individuals and groups that have assimilated EuroAmerican ideas, values, and goals, or have been conceived, organized and directed by white leaders.” Somehow your reporter conflates these horrific rapes with the Federal Way school district’s investigation of reported teacher misconduct and efforts to combat disproportional discipline by imagining that calling racist acts “racism” will somehow lead to school bullies not being disciplined. The undisciplined bully exists solely in Mr. Allmain’s head. I would be interested to know if Mr. Allmain is appearing on the editorial page as a Mirror employee or as a private citizen and if the Mirror endorses his beliefs. His editorial

Q&A with Mr. FW: ‘Crazies’ protesting in front of Decatur
: Mr. Federal Way, so the city was planning on installing a playground at Town Square Park but tabled that plan, according to a story that was recently published in the Mirror. What do you think about the plan? A: To be honest, the park’s all right. It’s not phenomenal. There’s a little lawn, a pea patch and a bunch of painted
pavement meant to be exciting, but let’s be honest, it’s painted pavement. The basketball courts are a good asset, even though there was some fear they would bring a bad crowd — whatever that means. Mr. Federal Way agrees with the City Council that it’s not best to spend a lot of money on something that doesn’t generate money if it can in
the potential future. But Town Square Park could probably benefit from some playground equipment. Mr. Federal Way doesn’t doubt that it would bring more people to the park and while officials said in that story that they were pleased with the energy the park has brought to downtown, Mr. Federal Way is befuddled because upon tak-
ing a stroll to the park one weekday during lunchtime, all Mr. Federal Way saw was an old person eating lunch at a table and someone sitting in their car in the parking lot eating lunch or something maybe more scandalous. Mr. Federal Way didn’t stare long enough to form a concrete opinion. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what was with the crazies out

in front of Decatur High School all day on Tuesday yelling through loud speakers? Signed, Agnostic A: Dear Agnostic, Mr. Federal Way has never heard of crazies out in front of Decatur High School, except for a couple of times when Mr. Federal Way nearly hit a couple of students darting across the street outside of a crosswalk. Nevertheless, Mirror staff contacted Federal Way Public Schools officials. District spokeswoman Debra Stenberg said the district is familiar with this group. They have protested in front of Decatur before and in front of a couple of our other schools last year. She said the district’s security director said the group also protests in front of schools in other districts and in various public places. The director thinks they may be from Bellevue but does not know if they are affiliated with a particular religious group or church. Stenberg said the sidewalks in front of schools are part of the public right-ofway. “For that reason, while we can ask them to stay off of our campus, we cannot keep them off of the sidewalk,” Stenberg wrote in an email. “The school resource officer asked the protestors to move to the other side of 320th, but they refused to do so and
were within their rights to stay on the sidewalk.” She noted a significant number of students who walk to and from the Decatur campus use the sidewalk in front of the school. This put them in close proximity to the protestors on Tuesday. The school’s principal and assistant principal, David Brower and Rex Tucker, as well as the school resource officer and district security officer went out during dismissal time to escort students through, she added. Call Mr. Federal Way bias, but Mr. Federal Way is all for people’s right to peacefully assemble. Mr. Federal Way is part of the media, after all. However, Mr. Federal Way thinks people yelling through loud speakers is hardly peaceful. Go ahead, exercise your first amendment rights, but can’t you move 100 feet up the sidewalk so you don’t disturb students? This week was fairly warm and Mr. Federal Way bets that some teachers had their windows open during instruction. This demonstration most likely distracted students from learning. While distracting students is not addressed in the Constitution, Mr. Federal Way thinks these protestors were discourteous at best. And doesn’t the Bible mention somewhere that you should do unto others? Q: Mr. Federal Way, boxers or briefs? A: None of your business.

during the public comment portion of the meeting that she and her colleagues have gone out during their lunch hours, attended city council meetings in the evening and sought signatures on a petition during the weekend at farmers markets and city fairs to ensure the Public Health Centers stay open. Earlier last week, 2,900 signatures were delivered to King County Executive Dow Constantine, she said. Additionally, she said the nurses have agreed to freeze their wages next year in order to save the services. “It isn’t about the jobs,” she said. Welander was joined by Denise Cobden, Amy Vince Cruz and Lori Ginther-Hutt who echoed the same need for keeping the clinic open. And one recipient of Public Health also addressed the Council. “My husband and I have always had good jobs, worked hard for our family,” Janina Schmidt said. “But three years ago, my husband’s work dwindled and I was let go from my job.” After Schmidt got pregnant and noticed her baby “failed to thrive,” she utilized the services, which provided her with a nurse who periodically checked in on the family. “Now, we’re blessed to have a son and he’s thriving,” she said. “It’s a wonderful program and I am doing well compared to some I represent here, speaking
Several Council members and the mayor recognized and thanked the efforts of the “ladies and men in red” and pointed out that this issue may not have gotten the attention it did without their support. “In my time on the Council, I don’t think I’ve seen an issue generate such widespread support as this one has for moving this issue forward on behalf of the citizens that have a need for this service,” said Councilman Bob Celski. “It’s just so nice to see a strong effort by the community coming together to keep this clinic open.” Before the Council voted on the expenditure, Councilwoman Kelly Maloney said she’d like to see an equitable distribution of costs across all of the municipalities that benefit from public health in the long term plan. Councilwoman Susan Honda, a former registered nurse, thanked South King Fire and Rescue and the Federal Way Public Schools Board of Education for passing resolutions in support of keeping the health center open. And Councilwoman Lydia Assefa-Dawson expressed hope that the support continues and not “lose momentum” after this temporary solution. “There’s a two-prong approach, first let’s make sure we keep the doors open for the first year,” Ferrell said in an interview on Monday.
“The longterm approach is something that [King County] Executive Dow Constantine is committed to working through, we as a Council and city government are committed to working through.” Ferrell said he and Constantine have been talking about a deal since midAugust in several phone conversations. Originally, Ferrell said they were thinking of incorporating a six-month emergency funding situation, but switched to year-long Jim Ferrell funding for labor considerations and so that there was more time to come up with a longterm plan. “The key point here is that we did not want to shut the doors on these 13,700 mothers,” Ferrell said, referring to the Federal Way Public Health Center’s annual clientele who take part in programs such as the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Supplemental Nutrition Program, Maternity Support Services and family planning services. Ferrell said talking to other mayors throughout King County for additional assistance will be a part of the longterm solution, as there was “simply not time
to do that at this stage.” “We have to be focused on saving the Federal Way clinic,” Ferrell said, adding that going to other mayors would be a structural change. “We will engage those mayors and those leaders going forward. That’s not part of the short-term solution, the longterm solution is a more regional approach.” Frank Abe, a spokesman for the King County Executive Office, said Constantine worked hard to keep public health clinics open year after year and kept the doors open despite declining funding and without adequate funding authority from Washington. “Public health services are funded largely by state and federal grants,” Abe wrote in an email. “And that’s why it was so unjust and unfair to see those funds cut again and again by the state and federal government — actions that were beyond our control here at a local level.” Already, the executive’s budget includes a proposal to keep the Greenbridge Health Center in White Center open through a partnership between King County, the city of Seattle and Planned Parenthood. The announcement was made on Monday.
“This is a new paradigm he has brought to King County: Not going it alone, but creating innovative partnerships across the range of responsibilities,” Abe said. “He will keep working with cities and community partners elsewhere in the region to develop similar partnerships to preserve Public Health.” The same sort of talks that led to that outcome are in process with the city of Auburn, city officials acknowledged Monday. “We are talking with the county, and have had an ongoing discussion with the public health office and Dow Constantine’s office,” Dana Hinman, communications director for the city of Auburn, told the Auburn Reporter, adding, “We don’t have anything definite on paper, yet.” Abe expects Constantine to speak directly to this agreement when he presents his budget proposal to the King County Council on Sept. 22. Ferrell said the city’s Finance Director Ade Ariwoola has indicated the city of Federal Way has the means to fund the one-time expenditure, but the city will not permanently budget the funding. King County officials have proposed impacts to the North Seattle Public Health Center and the Columbia center, with clinic closures in Bothell, White Center/ Greenbridge, Auburn and Federal Way. Centers in
downtown Seattle, Bellevue, Renton and two in Kent will remain open. According to city officials, more than 90 percent of the Federal Way clinic’s clientele have incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. For example, a family of four making $23,850 or less is considered below 200 percent of the poverty line, or a family of six, $31,970, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, 73 percent are people of color, 7 percent are homeless, 59 percent of family planning patients are uninsured, 20 percent of those who are pregnant served by the maternity support services are involved in drugs or alcohol and 11 percent require an interpreter. If a longterm situation can’t be reached countywide, Ferrell said he would then consider other partnerships, however, he is expected to continue the conversation with Constantine throughout the upcoming months to come to a “longterm structural solution countywide.” Abe said King County is interested in working with the city of Federal Way throughout 2015 and 2016, if needed, to find a way for the clinic to remain. Constantine and the Auburn mayor were unavailable for comment. For more information about Seattle-King County Public Health, visit www. kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/budget.aspx.
Saghalie kicks off Korean language program
through eight at Saghalie Middle School are beginning to learn the Korean language this year, thanks in part to a $14,000 grant from the Korean Ministry of Education. The Korean language program at Saghalie features Rosetta Stone curricu-
lum and will be supported by a Korean language para-educator. District officials hope to eventually expand the program to Decatur High School and Saghalie’s feeder elementary schools: Brigadoon, Green Gables, Olympic View and Silver Lake. The Korean
language para-educator will visit those schools throughout this school year to help build interest in the program. There’s a recognized need to increase the number of world languages taught in schools, but there are a couple of obstacles that
need to be overcome. The first is to have enough student demand for a subject to support hiring a fulltime teacher. The second is there are a limited number of Washington state certificated teachers available to teach world languages, according to district officials. This program helps overcome both issues. “We are excited to be part of this innovative approach to offering our students the opportunity to learn an important world language,” interim Superintendent Sally McLean commented. The new Korean language
program at Saghalie is one of several initiatives the district has undertaken in recent years in partnership with the Korean Ministry of Education. At Lakeland Elementary, students in grades three through five spent a year working with a sister school in Korea via Skype and hosting a visit to the school. And, on Sept. 2, the district welcomed its fourth cohort of Korean University student teachers for a threemonth experience working in the classrooms with the district’s finest mentor teachers.

City resources available to help residents prepare for emergencies from staff reports
There’s no time like the present to prepare your home and family for an emergency. That’s especially true in September, National Preparedness Month. The Greater Federal Way Emergency Management Program provides training and information to help residents with emergency preparedness. The program supports and promotes citizen education and neighborhood preparedness efforts. Programs offered include the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET). Both programs teach essential preparedness and response skills, such as light search and rescue, triage operations and disaster medical, all of which help make a safer and better-prepared community. Residents interested in learning more about the programs offered, or wish to have a preparedness presentation given are encouraged to contact Ray Gross at 253-8352712 or ray.gross@cityoffederal.com. Additional preparedness tips and resources are available at www.cityoffederalway.com/prepare. The Greater Federal Way Emergency Management Program is a partnership between the city of Federal Way, Federal Way Public Schools, Lakehaven Utility District, St. Francis Hospital and South King Fire and Rescue. These public agencies have made preparedness a top priority and are working every day to ensure the community stands ready to respond to and recover from any disaster or emergency. Basic preparedness, including an emergency 14-day supply kit, can make a critical difference in disaster recover at the family and neighborhood level and will help make the greater Federal Way community safer in times of disaster. To have a community that is able to respond to and quickly recover from a disaster requires teamwork on all levels from first responders, the private sector, non-profit organizations and families or individuals. Developing a family emergency preparedness plan is a great place to start, said city officials.

Inclusion Program empowers the disabled By Carrie Rodriguez editor@fedwaymirror.com
T
ina Pomeromtz doles out hugs to participants as they file into the hallway at the Federal Way Community Center on a recent Wednesday afternoon. “You’re my buddy,” she says to several people she recognizes as they wait for the weekly Fitness FUNdamentals class to begin. She’s also quick to tell them, “I love you so much.” Other class participants inquire about newcomers’ names before embracing them too. Pomeromtz, 25, comes to the center once a week and says she enjoys participating because “it’s just so much fun.” The fitness class is part of the city of Federal Way’s Inclusion Program, which provides an opportunity for people with and without disabilities to participate together. Before the dozen or so participants hit the workout machines, they circled the indoor track to warm-up. Amy Novak, 41, listened to songs by singers such as Kenny Chesney and Faith Hill on her iPod as she walked. She beamed when she spoke about the various country singers and her favorite songs, including Hunter Haye’s “Wanted,” and offered one of her earbuds to other participants. Novak, a lifelong Federal Way resident, has participated in the various Inclusion Program for as long as she can recall. “Yesterday I did arts and crafts,” Novak said. “I just like to be with my friends.” Soon after warming up, Novak’s roommate, Heather Leuty, smiled as she worked out on one of the machines. “I’m here always,” said Leuty, 38. “On Mondays, I go bowling, on Tuesdays, I come and do arts and crafts and on Wednesdays, I do workouts.” Her favorite activity? “Everything,” said Leuty,

Two Federal Way students recently attended a remote school in Nagappatinam, India that was established to provide an education to
wearing a T-shirt featuring characters from Disney’s “Frozen” that says “Family Forever.” “It’s fun to be with people. It’s fun to be with friends.” Kevin Hutchinson, the Inclusion Program coordinator, has been involved with the program for six years. King County began the program nearly 20 years ago as a way to provide employment assistance for people with disabilities, he said. Over the years, Highline College administered part of the program and two years ago, the city of Federal Way took it over with funding through a Community Development Block Grant, Hutchinson said. Now, the program provides life skills, social and recreational programs for over 300 participants every year. “We call it inclusive programs because we try to integrate people with disabilities in the community and all of our programs are open to all people,” he said, noting between 90-95 percent of participants have disabilities. He added, “We try to get them out in the community and do things that they otherwise might not have a chance to do.” He said it is difficult for many people with disabilities to maintain a social network after they graduate from high school, so the program provides social clubs on Friday nights and trips every Saturday that offer people opportunities to socialize. Other popular programs include Special Olympics sports, a therapeutic drumming class and Friendship Theater. One of Hutchinson’s biggest goals this year is to raise funds for a scholarship program to benefit low-income program participants. The city is partnering with the Kiwanis Club of Federal Way and will host an Ocktoberfest fundraiser dinner on Oct. 24 at the Community Center.

the athletic and Friendship Theater programs, said the program also benefits staff, instructors and volunteers. She said though her work is “trying at times,” it’s rewarding when she sees participants transform and flourish. “Personally, it’s just the satisfaction that a group of people who probably wouldn’t have these opportunities, gets to have an opportunity to do these things, whether it be sports, or whether it be theater and that they have their time in the sun like everybody else, they get to shine,” Boyle said. “That’s why I do it. That’s what gives me satisfaction is maybe a smile on their face if they accomplished a goal or after the play is over and they’re standing there just beaming and taking more bows, even if it’s a small thing …” She noted one girl who participated in Friendship Theatre’s performance children from 3 years of age to the sixth grade. Devin Cole, a seventh grade student at Sacajawea Middle School and Jessica Lam, a recent graduate of Federal Way Public Academy, taught a class about airplanes. Cole defined in detail the parts of an airplane, using a Lego airplane as a model. He completed his demo by
of “The Little Mermaid Junior” in June was initially unsure of herself. The girl questioned everything: Am I doing this right? Are you sure I’m doing this OK? “But at the end of the play she walked off the stage and said to me, ‘I did really good, my family is clapping like crazy for me.’ She finally realized that, hey, I’m doing it. I can do this,” Boyle said, crying. “So those are the
kind of moments that just tear at my heart. This was so worth it because now she’s got a little more self confidence so she can go do whatever else it is that she wants to do.” For more information about the city’s Inclusion Program, visit itallhappenshere.org or contact the Federal Way Community Center at 253-835-6900.

Federal Way education leaders applaud Supreme Court’s contempt ruling by Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Washington State Supreme Court has declared the state in contempt of court for failing to take adequate steps to fully fund education by 2018. At the moment, the Supreme Court indicated that “the question remains whether sanctions are immediately warranted,” because the “state has assured the court that education funding is the state Legislature’s top priority and that the Legislature is determined to (and the state expects it to) take meaningful action in the 2015 budget session.” If that’s not met by the end of the 2015 legislative session, however, the state Supreme Court warned that “the court will reconvene and impose sanctions or other remedial measures.” Although the court’s contempt ruling is currently something of a symbolic
action, education leaders at all levels across the state said they were pleased the court made the move. “The court got it right,” said Federal Way Public Schools interim Superintendent Sally McLean. “Our state legislators must uphold the constitutional mandate to make sure all our students can attend adequately funded schools. We urge legislators to find dependable funding to comply with the McCleary decision. We look forward to working with them and the governor to make this happen.” State Superintendent Randy Dorn also said he was “pleased” with the court’s contempt ruling. “It should come as no surprise: Very simply, contempt means that the state has refused to comply with a direct order of the court. In January 2014, the court told the state to produce a plan to achieve full funding. The state failed to do that,” Dorn said in a press release from
his office. “I think it’s clear, however, that contempt means something more. The state is continuing to violate our constitution.” Dorn noted that Article IX, Section 1 of the state constitution “states clearly that an ample provision for the education of all students
is the state’s ‘paramount duty.’” “Thirty years ago, the court ruled that the state wasn’t meeting that requirement. And the court reaffirmed that two years ago in the McCleary decision,” Dorn added. The state’s superintendent
said he agreed with the court that the Legislature deserves the 2015 legislative session to attempt to meet the requirements of McCleary and the state constitution. “The state needs to get to work. It needs to make significant gains in funding to meet the 2018 deadline.
I hope that happens,” Dorn concluded. To read the court’s contempt ruling, visit www. courts.wa.gov/appellate_trial_courts/SupremeCourt/. For more information from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, visit www.k12.wa.us/.

Public exposure to measles at Federal Way hotel, Sea-Tac Airport
“I care for the whole person.”
from staff reports
Local public health officials are investigating a confirmed case of measles infection in a traveler who was at a Federal Way hotel and Sea-Tac airport during the contagious period. The traveler was likely exposed to measles outside of the United States. Before receiving the measles diagnosis, the traveler was at Sea-Tac airport from 8:10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 6 in the north satellite terminal, satellite transit inter-terminal train and baggage claim. In addition, the person with measles was at the The Bistro in the Courtyard Seattle Federal Way from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Sept. 6. If you were at either of these locations during those times and are not immune to measles, the most likely time you would become sick is between Sept. 13 and Sept. 27. Most people in this area have immunity to the measles through vaccination, so the risk to the general public is low, according to Public Health — Seattle and King County. However, all persons who were at the locations around the same time as the individual with measles should find out if they have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously, and call a health care provider promptly if they develop an illness with fever or illness with an unexplained rash between Sept. 13-27. To avoid possibly spreading measles to other patients, do not go to a clinic or hospital without calling first to tell them you want to be evaluated for measles, Public Health officials warn.

Thomas Jefferson baseball team takes in Seattle Mariners game from staff reports
M
etropolitan King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer hosted the Thomas Jefferson High School varsity baseball team at Safeco Field Sept. 13 for a Seattle Mariners batting practice and game versus the Oakland Athletics. As part of his continuing community outreach program, von Reichbauer rewarded the Raiders baseball team with a unique opportunity to see their sports idols up close and personal. The boys received an on-field experience, and met several players, as well as manager Lloyd McClendon and Mariners General manger Jack Zduriencik. They also received a pep talk from Seattle Seahawks legend Jim Zorn.
Earlier this year, von Reichbauer met with the Thomas Jefferson team and made a promise that he would take the team to a Mariners’ game if they made the playoffs. Both sides kept their promise and are looking forward to success in the upcoming season. “There are seven high schools in my district, but only one in unincorporated King County,” von Reichbauer said. “I am impressed with the work head coach Joseph Townsend has done with his team. These young men represent our community well on and off the field.” To learn out more about the athletic program at Thomas Jefferson High School, visit schools.fwps. org/tj/student-life/athletics/.

A
sk Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright about studying film of his team’s Super Bowl win over the Denver Broncos, and his eyes light up. “We actually watched some clips today,” Wright says with a grin as he remembers Seattle’s 43-8 victory. “Just the way we out-hit ’em, man. Every time they touched the ball, the check downs, we were smacking them left and right.” In Denver, Broncos players are studying the same film this week in preparation for Sunday’s game at CenturyLink Field, but reliving that game obviously elicits a slightly different response for the Broncos. “It’s not an easy film to watch, but you try to watch it, try to learn from it and try to find a way to be better from it,” quarterback Peyton Manning said on a conference call. It has been seven months since that lopsided Super Bowl, and both teams come into this game with slightly reshaped rosters and an eye on what lies ahead, not what happened in New Jersey last February. Nonetheless, it’s impossible for the Seahawks and Broncos to play this year, and particularly this early in the season, without Super Bowl XLVIII being a topic of discussion this week. The question then becomes this: does what happened last year have any effect on Sunday’s game? Depending on who you ask, this is a chance for revenge for the Broncos, or a chance for the
“Obviously, we still have a bad taste in our mouths from the Super Bowl, but it’s a new season and we want to get back to that point and obviously win it.”

“We have a terrific matchup this week coming up,” he said. “I know a lot of people [are] interested in this one because of how last season ended … A lot of people want to see what’s going to happen, and so do I. I want to see how we play. So, we’ll get revved up and should be a great matchup.” But great matchup or not, Super Bowl rematch or just another game, Carroll and his team will try to stick with their normal approach, which is what helped them win a title in the first place. Carroll knows that if his team is too focused on the hype surrounding the game, or if his players don’t put Sunday’s loss in San Diego behind them
and let that affect their preparation this week, they won’t be at their best come Sunday. “Whether you win or whether you lose, I’ve said it a lot of times, it can factor either way,” Carroll said. “That’s why we go right back to our routine and we do the things that we do and we use the language and the expectations of this day and we just try to crush it on this day and have a hell of a day and we come back the next day and do it again. I think it’s a really good challenge in that regard and because of all of the stuff from before.” And whatever happens Sunday, the Seahawks are certainly expecting a tough challenge from the

Broncos, who fell behind on a safety on the game’s first play and never recovered. “A lot of things went our way,” said linebacker Malcolm Smith, who earned Super Bowl MVP honors after returning an interception for a touchdown. “Sometimes that happens, and we don’t expect it to happen again like that this week. We expect a tougher game from them. Obviously they’re going to be better than they were on that day, so we’re looking forward to it.”

When the manager opened the store that morning, he observed a back door wide open. There were no signs of forced entry, the police report states, but approximately 50 new tires were stolen. The used tires that are usually stored against the rear of the business were also stolen. The manager believes the door may have been left unlocked the night before.

Man charged with stealing rifle from Walmart By Raechel Dawson rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
A Federal Way man faces federal charges for stealing a rifle from a Walmart in Montana and possessing a stolen firearm. Schuyler Stewart Zwar waived his preliminary hearing this morning at his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Billings, Montana. Federal prosecutors allege Zwar, 38, entered the Walmart in Billings, Montana at around noon on Sept. 7 and stole a firearm by attempting to assault a clerk. Captured on video surveillance, the suspect looked at the firearms display case and requested help from the clerk, who laid about five guns out to show the suspect. After the two went to look at ammunition, video footage shows the man, alleged to be Zwar, take a knife out of his left pants pocket and bring it to the clerk’s neck from behind. “The clerk reported that it was at this time that the male held a knife to the clerk’s throat and that the male tried to cut the clerk several times,” the affidavit states. Although the clerk was able to “calmly” get away while the man left the area, the suspect returned swinging a large yellow crowbar. Two other Walmart employees joined the clerk and they all witnessed the man smash the glass out of the display case, take a Bushmaster, model M-16, .223 caliber semiautomatic rifle and flee. At one point the clerk had to distance himself from the suspect with a shopping cart,
according to the affidavit. Witnesses stated they saw the suspect drive off in a white passenger car, similar to a Subaru. More than three hours later, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper in Jefferson County (Montana) began pursuit of a driver in a white 2000 Saturn going 85 mph in a 75 mph zone. “The vehicle then led troopers on a pursuit for approximately 20 miles,” the affidavit continues, noting it was stopped after troopers used spike strips to disable the suspect’s tires. The driver was identified at Zwar and he was arrested for the traffic crime. An immediate search revealed a Wyoming Home Depot receipt for a 36 inch DeWalt crowbar. Later on Sept. 9, a state of Montana search warrant, executed on Zwar’s car, turned up the stolen rifle from Walmart, three boxes of ammunition and the yellow crowbar. Because the rifle was not manufactured in the state of Montana and traveled through interstate commerce, the case is being tried in U.S. District Court. Zwar’s last known address is on South Star Lake Road in Federal Way, according to Montana police. Lt. Mark Cady with the Billings Police Department said Zwar is currently being held at the city jail for the federal charges. It is unknown at this time what his bail amount is.

p.m., Sept. 12 and is manic-psychosis, bi-polar and schizophrenic. The daughter told police her mom was off her medication and was last seen at Twin Lakes Grocery by store employees. She also said, if found, her mother will likely need immediate medical attention but will refuse to cooperate. Daughter runs away after fair: At 11:23 a.m. on Sept. 13 in the 2200 block of S.

Man shot twice in Federal Way; police searching for suspect from staff reports
A man in his early 20s was found shot twice Sunday night at a Federal Way apartment complex. Federal Way police were called to the Crestview West Apartments located in the 27900 block of Pacific Highway South at 10:50 p.m. Sunday for a shooting that had just occurred, according to a Federal Way police news release. The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. The extent of his injuries are unknown at this time, however, Commander Steve Arbuthnot said he was in stable condition as of Monday morning. Police officials say there is no suspect description and anyone who has information should contact the Federal Way Police Criminal Investigations Section at 253-835-6780.
Enterovirus 68 suspected in King County From staff reports
King County Health officials are working to confirm the presence of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) in King
on Sept. 12 in the 34000 block of 35th Ave. SW, a pedestrian entered the road from the southeast corner and was struck by a man in a vehicle. There were no visible injuries but he was transported to Harborview Medical Center. Son throws DVD player, upset he can’t smoke marijuana: At 5:26 p.m. on Sept. 12 in the 30100 block of Third Place S., a 51-yearold father and his 20-year-old son got into a verbal argument over the son refusing to comply with house rules and a recent Pierce County probation court order to stop using marijuana. The son grabbed a DVD player from the living room and threw it into a greenbelt behind the house. Police suggested the father should start the eviction process should his son continue the “non-compliant behavior.”
County, looking at a group of patients in Seattle Children’s Hospital who have “severe respiratory illness” and “tested positive for a possible enterovirus infection.” At this time, additional testing is also being preformed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in an attempt to figure out if it’s the strain of EV-D68 that has recently struck several Midwest states. Health officials are stressing that at this time, there are no confirmed cases of EV-68 in King County. “Although we can’t currently say that these cases are definitely due to EVD68, it would not be surprising if the virus is confirmed on further testing,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, chief of communicable diseases and epidemiology at Public Health-Seattle and King County. According to the county, large numbers of children could develop respiratory infections in a short time period if EV-D68 appears locally. The virus spreads in a fashion similar to the common cold, and the county notes that an EV-D68 infection leads to “the vast majority of children [having] a mild illness that does not require medical attention.” However, children with respiratory issues are more susceptible to the virus. According to Public Health, there is no vaccine for enterovirus. It’s recommended that people follow common sense hygiene rules to limit exposure to the virus.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

From staff reports
Todd Beamer
The Todd Beamer Titans were the only successful Federal Way football team last week, blanking Vancouver’s Evergreen 33-0 on Saturday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The Titans intercepted the Plainsmen’s first play from scrimmage, and it was a done deal from there. Beamer scored its first points of the night shortly after, when Andrew Tofaeono ran for the first of three touchdowns on the night. Beamer is 1-1 and is the only team with a win so far this season in the SPSL 4A Northwest. The Titans will kickoff at 7 p.m. Friday against Kent Meridian at French Field.
Federal Way
The fourth-ranked Eagles ran into the buzz saw that is Camas on Friday night, falling 49-6 to the Papermakers
on the road. Star running back Chico McClatcher was the lone Federal Way score, taking it in from three yards out in the second quarter. McClatcher ended up with 109 yards on 22 carries, with the bulk of those yards coming in the first half. In the second half, McClatcher was held to just seven yards by the Papermakers. The Eagles kicked off this week on Thursday at home, hosting 2-0 Tahoma.
Thomas Jefferson
The Raiders fell to Graham-Kapowsin 35-14 on Sept. 12 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The Raiders quarterback Mason Delacruz connected on pass plays once in the first quarter and once in the fourth quarter for all of Thomas Jefferson’s points on the evening. The loss puts the Raiders at 0-2 with the rest of the SPSL, looking up at the Todd Beamer Titans who are sitting at 1-1 with the win against Evergreen. The Raiders face off at 7 p.m. on Friday in Federal Way, when they take on 2-0 Kentwood.
Decatur
The Gators fell in a barn
burner to Kentlake, 56-36 on Friday night at French Field. Quarterback Isaiah Hatch came up big again, with two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns. The early season star sprinted for a 49-yard score in the first quarter, and followed it with a 54-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Decatur sits at 0-2 on the season and kicks off at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Federal Way, when they host 0-2 Kentridge.
TJ outlasts Beamer 3-2 in tennis From staff reports
The Thomas Jefferson High School boys tennis team scratched out a hard-fought win over Todd Beamer on Sept. 11, toppling the Titans 3-2 in an SPSL 4A league match. Number two singles player Justin Park came from behind to give the Raiders the decisive point in the match. Park lost the first set to Andy Lee, 1-6, before battling back 6-3, 6-4.

Federal Way author of JFK Book to speak at Tacoma Library From Staff Reports
John Kennedy: the Man, Myth and Legend will be the topic of a presentation at 7 p.m. on Sept. 23 at the main branch of the Tacoma Public Library. Admission is free.
Dean R. Owen, author of “November 22, 1963: Reflections on the Life, Assassination and Legacy of John F. Kennedy,” will be the featured speaker. The book was published last year by Skyhorse Publishing. Owen, a Federal Way resident, interviewed nearly 100 people for the book, including White House staff, civil rights leaders, family members and journalists
www.federalwaymirror.com who covered Kennedy. Veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas, who died last year, wrote the foreword. “Dean Owen did what a lot of reporters seem to have forgotten how to do these days: he asked the people who were there that awful day what they saw and how they felt,” said Bob Schieffer, anchor of “Face the Nation” on CBS News, whose
comments are in the book. “This is a must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of what happened on the weekend that America lost its innocence.” Owen was 7 years old when JFK was assassinated in 1963 and says the tragedy prompted his 30-plus career in journalism and communications. The main branch of the Tacoma Public Library is

Highline earns national diversity award from staff reports
Highline College received the 2014 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. “Highline is honored to receive this award for the second year in a row and to be recognized for the work we do every day on our campus with enthusiasm,” said Highline President Jack Bermingham. “Diversity is more than a program or an initiative at Highline; we want it to be our institutional identity.” As a recipient of the annual award — a national honor recognizing U.S. colleges and universities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion — Highline will be featured along with 82 other
recipients in INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine’s November 2014 issue. Highline also received the award in 2013. INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine selected recipients based on exemplary diversity and inclusion initiatives, and ability to embrace a broad definition of diversity on campus, including gender, race, ethnicity, veterans, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBT community. “We hope the HEED Award serves as a way to honor those institutions of higher education that recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion as part of their everyday campus culture,” said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. Highline is the most diverse college in Washington and was the only community college in the state to receive the 2014 HEED Award. Diversity is one of the college’s core themes and its current success was also validated when Highline won the 21st Century Colleges’ National Award of Excellence for Advancing Diversity in 2014 from the American Association of Community Colleges.
pet of the week Pet of the Week Ellie the cat is looking for a home. She is a very outgoing, affectionate young girl that loves her people time. As soon as you sit down she wants to be on your lap. She would like to have another kitty to play with since she still has a lot of kitten energy and it should help keep her out of trouble. She still needs to play with humans too, so make sure she has a lot of interactive toys, scratching posts and room to play. Ellie was raised around two chihuahuas and one pit bull, so she is comfortable around dogs as long as they are kitten friendly. She is very good with all ages and
