Woman grows 70, 80 pound pumpkins BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

Dani Clement has lived in Federal Way for 34 years but this is the first autumn she’s been able to grow a 68.5 pound pumpkin and a 78.5 pound pumpkin. “We’ve been planting pumpkins forever,” Clement said, noting she started when her first grandchild was born. While a nearly 80-pound pumpkin won’t win her a Washington State Fair award for largest pumpkin — those fruits can be up to 1,600 pounds, she said — the trick is to make sure the pumpkin has a continuous water supply. She said she planted her two pumpkins this season from a selfstarter kit meant for giant pumpkins using two pumpkin seeds. “One seed germinated and took off,” she said. “The starter pot was planted in July.” When her grandchildren were younger, she would often incorporate “pumpkin Sundays” where they would come to her and her husband’s backyard and pick pumpkins. Clement’s backyard is also filled with giant sunflowers, tomatoes, rhubarb, a fig tree and several other fruits, vegetables and flowers. [ more PUMPKIN, page 2 ]

Candidates talk education, transportation District 30 hopefuls sound off at Federal Way forum BY RAECHEL DAWSON

istrict 30 candidates didn’t deviate much from the script as

they addressed top issues facing the state this next legislative issue. Fully funding education (also known as the McCleary decision) dominated the political rhetoric with a transportation package and providing well-paying jobs as other top concerns. The packed banquet room at Twin Lakes Golf

and Country Club listened to the six candidates’ opening remarks before they answered how they would find the funds for education and what their top three priorities were. A lightning round of five questions as well as some from the audience marked the end of the forum before each gave [ more FORUM, page 3 ]

Twin Lakes residents concerned about toxic algae BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

Gary Darcey looks out in frustration over the green grime on Lake Lorene that has become a Loch Nesstype monster of its own. The toxic blue-green algae bloom separates like a stream of water through thick pea soup as a pair of ducks swim through the lake in Darcey’s backyard.

Lake Lorene was also a mess six years ago, when Darcey first moved to Federal Way’s Twin Lakes area. “The issue back then was milfoil — underwater weeds that grow up and kind of mat over and algae wasn’t a problem,” he recalled. He complained enough to the Twin Lakes Homeowners Association that four years ago they made him president of the association.

Now, he’s in charge of managing the private lake. Darcey first saw the algae two years ago and persuaded the nearly 1,400 homeowners in the association to pony up $40,000. “We spent a lot of money for a product called Phoslock that’s supposed to go down and sequester the phosphorous in the bottom of the [ more ALGAE, page 16 ]

Washington’s Largest Halloween Event

Federal Way police arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the fatal Seattle shooting that occurred Sept. 24. A 58-year-old woman, said to be the man’s grandmother, called police at approximately 2 a.m. on Tuesday stating she overheard him talking on the phone to someone about a shooting in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle and that he was not going to turn himself in, according to a Federal Way police report. After the tip, police arrived at Crestview West Apartments in Federal Way and located the suspect sleeping on a couch in the front room. After confirming his identity with a Texas identification card, birth certificate and social security card, police dispatch contacted the Seattle Police Department, inquiring whether they had a warrant to arrest him. At first investigators did not have information [ more POLICE, page 2 ]

on the suspect and he was let go but, according to the report, about 10 minutes later Federal Way police officers were notified there was probable cause to arrest the man for homicide. The man’s grandmother said he had gone to her brother’s apartment at Mariposa Apartments, where several officers responded. Police told him he was under arrest, to which he complied but inquired the reason why. Both his grandmother and her brother said they “did not really know” the suspect. He was transported to Tukwila police and then to Seattle police before he was advised of his Miranda rights. He was booked into King County Jail at around 8 a.m. on Tuesday. Several local news outlets reported on Sept. 24 that a 22-year-old man was walking on Yesler Way and Second Avenue in Seattle the morning when he was suddenly shot by two men. The victim later died at the hospital.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ PUMPKIN from page 1] What’s unusual about Clement’s and her husband’s pumpkins, Dani Clement she said, is that they have traveled up an arbor and prefer to hang as they grow. Although last year they didn’t grow any pumpkins, in 2012 their garden produced five to six pumpkins with four “turning out beautifully.” That year, the heaviest came to 56 pounds. But because they prefer to hang from the arbor, what goes up

must come down. Clement’s approximately 70 pound pumpkin fell last Friday with her near80-pound pumpkin plopping to the ground that weekend.

www.federalwaymirror.com closing remarks at the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce candidate forum luncheon on Wednesday. While all acknowledged the court mandate to fund education needed to be accomplished, several had different ideas on how that should be done. “We’ve been mandated that McCleary has to be budgeted, it has a big number — $46 billion,” said Jack Dovey, a Republican running for Position 2. “It’s anywhere from 7-8 percent of our budget. The Legislature must fund it first before anything else because anything else you will be on sand, it won’t have a strong foundation if you fund it second or third or fourth. And that’s what I would do.” Dovey said he would vote for ways the Legislature could take funds out of the current budget and the levies transfer fund. Incumbent and opponent Roger Freeman, a Democrat, said last session the Legislature looked at ineffective tax breaks and inefficiencies that he believes should be put back into the budget. “We may have to cut some services that are offered by our agencies,” Freeman said. “Then I have a bill proposed that would use revenue from marijuana sales to go back to education. We have to get new revenues …” Greg Baruso, a Democrat running for Position 1, said he agreed that tax loop holes should be closed and reforms should be discussed but that ultimately the government should “audit, audit, audit.” Shari Song, a Democrat who is running for the Senate seat, agreed with Freeman in that the Legislature needs to find a new way to collect more funds. “It’s not just tax loopholes, it’s not just working with the money we have, there’s just not enough,” she said. “Yes, we do have to make those

tough choices but we also have to find new revenue sources — leave no rock unturned. And we will be looking at taxes, we will be looking at creative ways to get new revenue sources and we will be making the hard choices.” But Mark Miloscia, a Republican running for the same Senate seat, said he believes taxes are not the answer and compared the budget issue to running a business. “Expenses are growing at 7 percent, revenue is growing at 4.5 percent,” Miloscia said. “You’ll never balance that budget by raising taxes. You’ll have to be committed on a path of raising taxes every single year. Does that seem like a winning strategy? Or you’re on a path to cut programs every single year. The thing is, we have to get our cost under control.” Incumbent Linda Kochmar, a Republican running for Position 1, said compromise is the key to funding an amount that nobody quite knows, adding that it’s estimated the Legislature will need to fund between $3-7 billion in the next four years. “One of the things we need to realize is that we do have new revenues coming in,” she said. “When we say close the corporate tax loophole, it’s only $300 million for all of the corporate tax loopholes. That’s nowhere near how much we need.” Kochmar said the Legislature needs to encourage business but keep business and homeowners from getting taxed. “So what we’re going to be asking for is some of us are going to be asking for reform,” she said. “We’re going to be asking for some compromising and, yes, we’re going to fully fund education.” Every single candidate listed funding education, improving transportation and creating more jobs/ improving the economy

Highline College named as Leader College FROM STAFF REPORTS

Achieving the Dream recently announced the recertification of Highline College as an Achieving the Dream Leader College, a national designation awarded to community colleges that commit to improving student success and closing achievement gaps. Leader Colleges have demonstrated how data can inform policy and practice to help community college students achieve their goals, resulting in improved skills, better employability, and economic growth for families, communities and the nation as a whole. Highline was one of 16 community

as their top three priorities, although some weren’t necessarily in that order. Baruso only stated two as his priorities — transportation and education, which “go hand in hand,” and Freeman specifically noted that it was important to invest in the city of Federal Way to make sure it is the economic center that drives the 30th District. All candidates in the lightning round answered that they would vote to support a transportation plan, even if it meant more taxes. They also all agreed that they would support additional funding for the state’s two to four year colleges. But not everyone agreed when it came to the gun initiatives that will be on the November election ballot. Dovey voted “no” on whether he would vote for Initiative 594, while Freeman, Baruso, Kochmar and Song voted “yes.” Miloscia did not vote and told the Mirror he would not be taking an official stance on either gun control initiative. Initiative 594 seeks a background check for firearm sales and transfers, including those at gun shows and online. But when asked if they would support the near opposite initiative, Initiative 591, Dovey and Kochmar voted “yes,” while Freeman hesitantly voted no with Baruso and Song to follow. If passed, I-591 ensures it would be unlawful for any government agency to confiscate guns or firearms from citizens without due process and it would make it illegal for government agencies to require background checks on firearm recipients unless a uniform national standard is required. For more information about the District 30 candidates, attend the next candidate forum hosted by the Federal Way Mirror at 6 p.m. on Oct. 22 at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club.

colleges recognized during the recertification process, which institutions must undergo every three years. Highline has been active in Achieving the Dream since 2006 and was first named a Leader College in 2011. “The work of improving student success is critically important to our education and economy,” said Carol Lincoln, Achieving the Dream senior vice president. “These 16 institutions have demonstrated that better student outcomes are possible when institutions focus on policies and practices that help students learn at high levels and overcome challenges life throws at them. These colleges are working hard to move the needle for whole cohorts of students, and deserve recognition ...”

On a recent morning, I took my 2-year-old daughter to Celebration Park — nothing out of the ordinary. I usually take her in the evenings, when it is packed with other parents, kids and occassionally some young relgious people spreading the good word. So I was surprised when we got to the playground and I saw what appeared to be a homeless woman. She was sitting up but her head was hunched over as she slept. Even the sound of my daughter squealing didn’t seem to bother her. She had a worn baby stroller near her that carried an overstuffed backpack. Her legs were wrapped in a blanket and I was glad that she was warm. My first reaction was to grab my daughter and go. I worked in a homeless woman’s shelter in downtown Seattle long ago and saw some of the factors that led people to homelessness, including drugs. As I looked over at the sleeping homeless woman, I wondered if she was under the influence of anything. As soon as I was comfortable with her presence, my daughter moving from the slide to the swings, I saw the men’s bathroom door swing open. A man rushed out, both hands full of plastic bags carrying his belongings. His clothes were sullied and I can only imagine he probably slept in one of the stalls for the night. The birds chirped, the sun came out and I looked up, wondering where this man and woman will go as the weather gets colder. Before me and my daughter left the park that day, my daughter ran up to the woman, whose eyes were now open. My daughter said, “Hello.” She smiled. One local organization, Reach Out, offers homeless winter shelter for men and women. Their shelters will re-open on Nov. 3. I recently attended the organization’s fundraising breakfast and learned about their efforts in our community. For more information, visit www.reachoutfederalway.org.

Marijuana politics in Federal Way

When does an election not decide an outcome? Several months ago that seemed like a much simpler question. In the near future, the Federal Way City Council will have to decide whether or not to allow the sale of marijuana, with some guidelines, or ban it outright. Statewide 53 percent of our voters approved the legalization, taxation and sale of marijuana. Here in Federal Way the results were the same, with a majority voting in favor of legalization. There was some controversy prior to the election as previous city leaders expressed concern about marijuana sales in the city. But after the election, supporters thought the controversy would be behind them. The state followed the election with a long process to identify who would be awarded licenses for marijuana sales and it was assumed that cities would guide the location, distribution and production through zoning codes.

The Federal Way City Council passed a moratorium last fall to give city staff time to review codes and make a recommendation. But then the city of Fife decided to ban the sale of marijuana outright, rather than provide stricter zoning laws as most observers would have expected. Other cities followed suit after a Pierce Country judge ruled that Fife was within its rights. Courts have typically given cities wide latitude in controversial siting issues, such as liquor stores, strip clubs and pornography shops, to zone their jurisdictions in a manner that protects communities’ standards by isolating certain businesses away from schools, churches and residential areas. But outright bans on a particular type of business, just because it might be offensive to some community members, has not been viewed as favorably by the courts. The state Supreme Court will make the final decision but that may not be until next year. And legislative intervention [ more ROEGNER, page 6 ] Bob Roegner

Freeman is a leader for all I am strong supporter of re-electing Rep. Roger Freeman to the House of Representatives in the 30th Legislative District. I’ve known Roger and his family for a number of years. He’s a strong and wonderful family man and leader for his family as well as for the people he serves. I was a supporter and active participant in both his campaigns for state representative and City Council. Some of Roger’s legisla-

tive accomplishments include securing job-creation money to help build the Performing Arts and Conference Center in Federal Way’s downtown business core, a Community Center in Algona for senior and youth programs, important repairs to the Senior/ Activity Center and Police Department in Milton, and important updates to Triangle Park to assist people with disabilities. Supporting first responders has also been a major focus for Freeman. Last session, he passed legislation to ensure firefighters and police officers who are catastrophically injured in the line of duty receive the necessary ongoing medical treatment that they deserve and this session he is working for tough new penalties for drivers who put the public at risk by eluding

police. Roger is a leader for all. He understands our issues. He has even had his own challenges over the past year but that has not stopped him from going to Legislature to keep promises that he made and to pay his supporters back 10-fold by working hard and standing up for the people. As a strong supporter, I strongly recommend that we re-elect Roger Freeman based on his outstanding service and on his commitment to do the right thing.

Why women should support Shari Song Nov. 4 is critical for our community, our families, our children, for women. Recently we’ve witnessed

an extreme swing to the right regarding women’s health. From Todd Akin to Rick Santorum, Republican candidates are signing Personhood pledges, vowing to declare a zygote a person and even making IUDs and some forms of birth control potentially punishable as murder. Don’t think that just because it’s Washington and not at the national level, we don’t have to be concerned. In our own Washington state Senate district, the 30th District, we have our own cause for alarm: Senate candidate Mark Miloscia. Miloscia stands with his buddies Akin and Santorum in wanting to outlaw abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. He sponsored a bill in 2012 that would have done just that. Women of Federal Way and the surrounding 30th

District should be alarmed. Abortion should be safe and legal and rare, made so because women and girls have access to truthful sex education and access to reliable contraception. Miloscia is opposed to responsible, comprehensive sex ed and contraception. These personal and private decisions regarding health care should be between a woman and her medical caregiver, it is not a decision to be made by extreme right wing politicians. Shari Song is fully committed to faithfully serve the interests of all in our community. She is a candidate who understands that women and their families are the best ones to make their own personal and private medical decisions and she is challenging Miloscia on these issue. She is working very hard to make sure every single voter knows what the stakes are in our district.

Karen Hedwig Backman, Federal Way

Why re-election of Kochmar is a necessity I take this opportunity to endorse and humbly support the re-election of Rep. Linda Kochmar to the state House of Representatives, Pos. 1 in our 30th District this November. Having seen Linda serve as a Council member in our city of Federal Way before and for many years, and now as our state representative for the past two years, has been a real interesting adventure. Her resolve and commitment to public service has just been outstanding. Linda has engaged in all the issues that matter to the residents of the 30th District with much interest, precision and knowledge. We have thus seen her build bridges among leaders of all political parties, interest groups living in our cities and neighborhoods all over the district, as well as the numerous diverse communities that call the 30th District their home. Linda’s passion to listen and work with the youth within our communities has been unrelenting, hold-

After officials investigated the source, students and staff were authorized to go back inside at around 9:30 a.m. Sixty students from two classes were evacuated to the school library while South King Fire and Rescue and Puget Sound Energy arrived

on scene to assess the situation. Federal Way Public Schools spokeswoman Deb Stenberg said it appeared the smell came from the boiler, which can “occasionally burp,” she was told by security.

“It’s likely a pretty minor deal but we take the precautions that are appropriate,” she said. Lt. Jeff Bellinghausen with the fire department said they cleared the area at 8:41 a.m. after gas levels decreased from shutting off the natural

gas throughout the school. Stenberg said the para-educator who noticed the smell felt the need to go outside and clear her head. Bellinghausen initially said one student was feeling lightheaded but declined aid. He later clarified no students

ing to the belief that the future of our communities and leadership must be nurtured and safeguarded. On the issues of growing small businesses in the 30th District, her position has remained consistent: Strengthening our families and encouraging our working communities and bringing more businesses to our communities, to provide more jobs to our people. These assets of Linda are at stake this November and must be safeguarded by our votes come election day. A vote for re-election of Linda Kochmar is a vote for continued vision, witnessed knowledge, tried experience and committed leadership for our great district’s continued growth and prosperity.

graduation rates, scores on state standards, college entrance exam scores, college entrance rates, career entry rates, etc. At a recent meeting with representatives with Franciscan Health Services who have an initiative within some of our Federal Way schools aimed at curbing violence, they presented how surrogate measures can give indicators of program success. Managers always like to see direct linkages, like an accelerator pedal; if you press this the car will move faster, but in real life some things are more complex. As an example, if we hired people to remove weeds and ready a field for planting and hired another to plant seeds and nurture the plants, if the crop yield is low who do you blame? On the other hand, if the crop yield is exceptional, then who should get most of the credit? The takeaway I got from the conversation is that you need to assign things to do that you have a high degree of certainty will positively influence the outcome you are looking for. The logic flow for curbing violence examined rates of referrals and rates of expulsions. The program that was put into play involved the schools and the community. A soccer field was established in conjunction with support from a local homeowners association, while a local

youth club came in to operate a free soccer league. This put youths out of harm’s way and away from mischief. It put youths under engaged adult supervision and provided mentoring opportunities. 140921_CL_KC HOLIDAY ROP

on anything controversial in the 2015 session starting in January seems unlikely. In Federal Way, Mayor Jim Ferrell and his administrative staff recommended approval of the marijuana business to the city Planning Commission, along with some rules to tighten and guide the process. Both former Mayor Skip Priest and Ferrell, prior to his election as mayor, had expressed concern a few years ago about the crime potential

www.federalwaymirror.com for marijuana facilities. Since Ferrell is a former King County prosecutor, political observers were interested to see what policy position his administration would take. Would he follow the public vote, which he did, or propose a ban? But then things got complicated. The Planning Commission voted 5-1 against the administration’s proposal and recommended to the City Council a ban on marijuana. Now, legal and political questions have become

intertwined as pro-marijuana forces claim foul. They say the voters have spoken and it feels like the Planning Commission is trying to overturn the election. Marijuana proponents also point out that they followed the rules and should be treated like any other business trying to open up in town. Planning Commissioners, and others, say there are too many unknowns about community impacts of legalized sale of marijuana to approve them at

this time. And in the middle sits the City Council. Some Council members lean toward following the public vote. Others believe that even though the public voted in favor of the legalization of marijuana, they were confused about whether or not the city would get some of the tax money, and they call into question the legitimacy of the vote. Still others are likely pleased with the Planning Commission position as it gives them

political cover to oppose implementing marijuana sales, but use the argument that the Council should be supporting its citizen advisory boards. And right beneath the surface is next year’s city elections where seats held by Council members Dini Duclos, Susan Honda, Lydia Assefa-Dawson and Bob Celski will be up for reelection. Duclos may not run, but the others are likely to be candidates. And lastly, will Ferrell be a strong advocate in support

of his administration’s position and the voters, or will he defer to the Council? Where do you stand? Shouldn’t your Mayor and city council follow the voters’ direction as the last word? Or do you expect them to reflect their own judgment rather than simply mirror public opinion?

Q&A with Mr. FW: Fatal car accidents and unwanted party crashers Q

: Mr. Federal Way, there seems to be a lot of news in the Mirror lately about cars striking and killing people. Are drivers just groggy due to the weather change? What’s the problem? A: While Mr. Federal Way is sure that vintage automobiles possessed by supernatural forces are not driving around killing

people per se, Mr. Federal Way has noticed the headlines lately. In the past three weeks alone, there have been three vehicle-related fatalities. A 75-year-old woman was walking in a marked crosswalk in the intersection of Southwest 340th Street and 35th Avenue Southwest, when a Bon-

ney Lake driver struck her with his vehicle on Sept. 12. She died of a head injury several days later. Two weeks later, a 59-year-old woman was struck and killed by a car outside of a crosswalk in the 32200 block of 21st Ave. SW on Sept. 26. Most recently, a 31-year-old man’s motorcycle collided with a

car on Pacific Highway South on Saturday. The force threw him from his motorcycle and a northbound vehicle struck him. He later died of his injuries. So as the two crosswalk cases illustrate, perhaps you’re damned if you do use a crosswalk and you’re damned if you don’t. But Mr. Federal Way

‘Matriarch of music’: St. Vincent honors organist of 50 years BY ALICE DAY UW News Lab

irst came Lois Hanson, and then came the church. A musical pillar of the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Hanson has played the organ and piano for the congregation over the past 50 years. Her dedication and talent were honored last Saturday at the church with a concert and reception, which drew close to 200 people. With more than 2,500 multicultural and diverse families, St. Vincent de Paul is the largest Catholic Church in Federal Way. The mixture of young and old, and nationalities from across the globe form the diverse base of this welcoming and musically talented community. The concert featured organ pieces played by Hanson and Joseph Adam, a world-renowned organist who also happened to be Hanson’s most recent teacher, from 1998 to 2003. At the concert, Hanson played four songs, one of which, “Song of Praise,” was her own composition. St. Vincent’s adult choir hosted the reception afterward and there was no shortage of apple pie as the community shared some of their favorite memories. “She has a history here that spans so long that there is probably nobody here that she doesn’t know,” said Joe McQuiston, pastoral associate for Adult Faith

Formation. “She just has such a great love of music.” Prior to the establishment of the parish in 1961, Hanson joined the St. Vincent community, which at the time met in nearby schools and halls. There she played the organ for the choir. “When the church building was finally built, I continued on as an organist. And now we have a new building and I continued to play in that also. So it’s been a total of 50 years as of this month September,” Hanson said with a laugh. This year, Hanson will be stepping back from her duties as the director of music ministry to focus on directing the children’s choir, teaching piano in her home studio and continuing as an organ and pianist at the church. Nan Merlich, who last year worked part-time as the choir director, will be replacing Hanson and overseeing the music ministry at St. Vincent de Paul. “Lois was here before the church was even built,” said Merlich, pastoral assistant for music and liturgy said. “We call her the matriarch of the music of St. Vincent. She’s carried the torch. She’s very nurturing and helpful. She’s very strong in her musical ability. But also in her ability to get music across to the congregation.” St. Vincent is nicknamed the crown jewel of the south end, simply because of its great selection of music and the multitude of op-

portunities to get involved. “It’s this attitude of support that our parish has, that has allowed us to draw good musicians and people that want to be involved in the ministry and that has made things work,” Hanson said. “It’s been a real pleasure to do what I do best. I feel like part of a family in our parish. This is my family. There’s real support there. It’s a good place there.” Hanson first met her husband, Lee, when they were school teachers in the suburbs of Chicago. After getting married and hav-

ing a child, the Hanson’s decided to move to Federal Way. Her love of music started at a young age because her dad was a piano tutor and was “very anxious for me to learn the piano.” She started playing the piano in the second grade, taking lessons from the Sisters of St. Francis and eventually learned to play the organ. For Hanson, music is more than an art form. “It’s something that people can express by themselves through their own creativity, joy, or sorrow —something that

words wouldn’t have,” Hanson said. “Especially when I play the organ, I experience those voices along with what I’m doing.” When asked about her faith and the importance that music plays in it, Hanson said, “I truly believe that music is an important expression for people, and that God has made us with many gifts. “We can take those gifts and give them back to him in ways that serve others and help others and give us opportunities to love and care for all those around us.”

4-year-old girl falls from window, airlifted to hospital BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

4-year-old girl is in stable condition after she was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center for falling out of a two-story window on Sunday. The girl and her 6-yearold brother were playing in her brother’s bedroom with the bed pushed up to the open window at 5 p.m. in their home located in the 32100 block of 33rd Ave. SW. Her brother told police his sister was playing too close to the window so he asked her to get down, according to the Federal

Way police report. But he became angry when she didn’t get down and he “might have pushed her at/towards the window,” causing her to fall out, the report continues. The girl’s mother was talking on the phone in the kitchen at the time but could hear her children playing. After she got off the phone, she went to check on them but couldn’t find them in the backyard. She walked upstairs and then turned back around to go out the front door when her son burst out of his bedroom and told her

what happened. The mother immediately went to the front of the house and saw her daughter laying on her side, unconscious in the driveway. The police report states she picked up her daughter and ran to neighbor’s homes, screaming for help. When police arrived,

the responding officer saw the girl’s mother with two other women. The mother was holding her daughter with her head resting on her shoulder. The officer said the girl was unconscious and bleeding from her head but was breathing. After stabilizing the girl’s neck, the officer opened her eyelids but

only saw a “blank stare.” Additionally, there was a large contusion and soft spot on the back of her skull. The officer kept pressure on her wound until medics arrived. “[The mother] said there’s no way [her daughter] would have jumped out of the window on her own doing as she is scared of heights,” the report

continues, noting that she believes her son may have pushed her out of the window. Her son has been diagnosed with ADHD and sometimes acts out but otherwise has a typical relationship with his sister, according to the report. The girl was found to have a fractured skull and a ruptured lung.

the ball in the end zone with Decatur pummeling Kentridge 72-54 on Sept. 20.

EAGLES SOAR AGAINST JEFFERSON

The Eagles scored early and often against Jefferson but it was a 90-yard kick return for Federal Way that was the turning point last Friday. The Eagles started the game with a rare defensive touchdown as Andrzej Hughes-Muray scooped up a fumble on the Raider 12-yard line, running it into the end zone for the early 6-0 lead. Jefferson struck back to take an 8-6 lead to finish the first quarter of play. The Eagle offense got rolling during the second quarter, scoring three consecutive times to take a 27-8 lead. Quarterback D’jimon Jones found Chris Williams for an eight-yard touchdown pass to take the lead. Then Hughes-Muray scored on offense at running back, rumbling three

yards for a score. Chico McClatcher finished off the first-half scoring for the Eagles with a 19-yard touchdown run. Undeterred, Jefferson would score just before the half to cut the lead to 27-15. Hughes-Muray collected his third touchdown of the game on the Eagles’ first possession of the second half, a one-yard run. But McClatcher’s legs proved to be the difference in the game following a Jefferson score. The senior running back fielded the ensuing kickoff from his own 10-yard line and darted up the field. With help from his blockers, McClatcher completed the 90-yard score, giving Federal Way a near insurmountable 41-21 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Both McClatcher and Jones would cross the goal line one more time before the end of the game. McClatcher finished the contest with 142 yard rushing, while Jones had 92 on the ground. Jefferson played Mount Rainier Thursday (after Mirror deadline).

GATOR’S LOSE LATE

Decatur fell behind early at Tahoma High School on a one-yard touchdown run but made up for it during the second quarter. The Gator’s first score came via the legs of running back Christian Silva, who scrambled eight yards to cary the ball into the end zone. But the celebration was short lived as the team failed to put the ball over the goal line on the twopoint conversion. Decatur made up for it by scoring again before halftime to take the lead. Silva once again capped the scoring drive with a run in the red zone, punching the ball through the defensive line for a one-yard touchdown run. A successful two-point conversion pass play gave the Gators a 14-7 halftime lead. Tahoma came out of the locker room playing with passion and took control during the third quarter. The home team shutout the Gators and scored two touchdowns to take a 21-14 lead. Decatur tied the game to

start the fourth quarter, as quarterback Isaiah Hatch ran the ball into the end zone. Hatch finished the game with 142 yards rushing, while Silva had 73. Tahoma would break the hearts of the Gator fans with a late touchdown from one-yard out to finish off the scoring and the visiting team.

BIG FOURTH QUARTER FOR BEAMER

The Beamer High School football team came up with a big fourth quarter against Mount Rainier for a 24-0 victory Friday. Beamer took the first lead of the game during the third quarter with a field goal and then scored three fourthquarter touchdowns to put the game out of reach. Quarterback Taylor Davis threw two touchdown passes, one to Isaiah Lard and the second to Christian Stafford. Lard also put the ball into the end zone on the ground and finished with 82 rushing yards. Beamer will host Kentlake for a 6 p.m. kickoff Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Seahawks’ Willson ready to replace injured tight end Miller BY JOHN BOYLE Herald Writer

uke Willson went home to Ontario, Canada, during the Seattle Seahawks’ bye week, but the tight end knew he wasn’t on vacation. By the time Willson and the rest of his teammates were set free last week, he already knew that Zach Miller needed ankle surgery, which meant that for the time being, Willson is Seattle’s starting tight end, beginning with Monday’s game in Washington. “I went home — it was the first time I was home for my dad’s birthday in about seven years — I went home, laid low, kind of refocused, and I’m ready to go now,” said Willson, a fifth-round pick in 2013. “... I was home taking care of myself, kind of mentally getting ready.” Willson knows he has big shoes to fill replacing Miller, but feels like he’s ready,

both because he started two games last year in place of an injured Miller, and because he feels like he has grown a lot since his rookie season. “It’s one of those things where, when you’re the backup guy, you kind of always want to prepare for it,” Willson said. “I’ve been here practicing and we rotate so it’s one of those things where, I don’t really feel like I’m entering new territory.” Willson, who is lighter but much faster than Miller, was drafted to be a receiving threat, yet he has just one catch through three games, but he’s not concerned about his lack of production this far. “Some of the games have worked out that way,” Willson said. “I’ve just got to be patient. I always feel like my time’s coming. That’s the thing about our offense; it’s really never one guy. One day it’s Percy, one day it’s Doug, one day it’s Kearse,

that’s just kind of how we operate as an offense.” And ultimately, with Miller out, Willson’s pass catching will be less important than his ability to block both in the running game and in pass protection. Willson credits Miller with helping him improve significantly, and adding a bit of weight in the offseason helped as well. “I think from when I first got here I’ve made a lot of strides,” Willson said of his blocking ability. “For me, it’s one of those things where I’ve just got to run my feet after contact. I feel like I’ve really improved and I’ve done a pretty good job.” Of course Willson won’t be asked to fill the void alone. Cooper Helfet, who spent last year on Seattle’s practice squad, should play a role this week, and the Seahawks can also use rookie tackle Garry Gilliam at tight end, the position he played for three years at Penn State

before switching to offensive line as a senior. “He’s a guy that has really been working hard,” Willson said of Helfet. “... He’s able to do a lot of things so it’ll be kind of cool to see Coop out there really contributing.” As for Gilliam, he actually ran routes as a tight end in Tuesday’s practice, and says he’s ready to go back to his old position if that is what’s needed Monday night. “Actually, pretty good,” Gilliam said when asked how it went dabbling at his old position Tuesday. “I didn’t feel like I was away that long. Obviously I weigh a little bit more, but I still have the quickness to run the routes they want me to do.” Gilliam said that when the Seahawks talked to him during the scouting process, they saw his future at tackle, but also discussed the idea of him being a tight end in a pinch, and now he might get the chance to show that

Lockette leveled Burse immediately after he caught a 58-yard punt. Just about every NFL punter is capable of hitting a big punt if he wants to, but one of the biggest mistakes a punter can make is out-kicking his coverage, allowing for an easy 10- to 20-yard return, or worse, a big, game-changing play. Ryan, however, doesn’t seem to be able to out-kick his coverage thanks to the hang time he puts on those big kicks along with the speed of Lockette, a former NCAA Division-II 200-meter champion at Fort Valley State. “I don’t know,” Ryan said when asked how far is too far for Lockette to cover. “It hasn’t happened yet.” There are a lot of pieces involved in Seattle’s punting game, from long snapper Clint Gresham to the blockers to the rest of the players covering the punt, but the combination of Ryan’s leg and Lockette’s speed, in

particular, has allowed for the Seahawks to dramatically flip field position at times this season. “Ricardo’s speed is really showing up and it really is a factor,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “At times in coverage, you get worried about out-kicking the coverage; we haven’t been able to do that with Ricardo when he gets off the ball so that’s a very big positive in the punt game. So hopefully that will continue to show up. Other guys do really well too at the gunner spots, but he seems to be unique. So we’ll allow Jon to kick away as long as we’re covering them.” What’s even more encouraging for Seattle is that Jeremy Lane was one of the best gunners in the NFL last season. When he returns from a groin injury, he and Lockette could combine to give the Seahawks a punt coverage unit that’s almost impossible to beat, even if Ryan is booming 60-plus

yard kicks. “A lot of times you hit a ball 60, 65 yards, your net is sometimes 15, 20 yards back,” Ryan said. “But Ricardo always says to me, ‘kick it farther, kick it farther.’ When he has that confidence in me, and I have that confidence in him to get down there, I can just let it go.” A season ago, the Seahawks usually asked Ryan to control his kicks to minimize return opportunities, and he did that so well that for much of the season Seattle was on pace to allow the fewest punt return yards in league history. This season, in no small part because of Lockette’s continued development as a gunner, Ryan gets to “let the leg out” as he put it after the Denver game. While Ryan is often easy to overlook because of the position he plays, Carroll said he might have been the MVP of Seattle’s Week 3 win over Denver. And

Seahawks’ Luke Willson will replace injured tight end Zach Miller for Monday’s game. Contributed photo versatility. “Obviously tackle is going to be the future, but I’ll help the team out right now,” he said. But while Gilliam is ready for whatever is asked of him, and while Helfet will

certainly play a role, the bulk of the responsibility will fall to Willson until Miller is able to return. “He’ll be back this year,” Willson said. “But I’ve got to hold down the fort until he’s back.”

Seahawks’ Ryan and Lockette form formidable special teams duo BY JOHN BOYLE Herald Writer

Following a three-and-out after the Seattle Seahawks’ first possession against the Denver Broncos two Sunday’s ago, a remarkable thing happened. And what made the play so remarkable was just how routine it all seemed, right up until you did the math and realized it shouldn’t have happened. After Russell Wilson missed Marshawn Lynch on a third-down pass, Jon Ryan came onto the field and boomed a 61-yard punt. Broncos punt returner Isaiah Burse, seeing Ricardo Lockette closing fast, had no choice but to call for a fair catch. Yes, he fair caught a 61yard punt. Later in the quarter, Lockette would get to Burse right as he fielded a 66-yard punt, though Burse was able to break the tackle and gain 15 yards. In the third quarter,

even if Ryan doesn’t always get his due, he does have the distinction of being the second-longest tenured Seahawk behind Brandon Mebane, having signed with Seattle early in the 2008 season. Ryan, along with Mebane and Max Unger, is also one of just three players who predates the Carroll and general manager John Schneider era in Seattle. And a nice long, and yes, sometimes anonymous life as a punter suits Ryan just fine. After all, growing up in Regina, Saskatchewan, Ryan estimates he was “the only 8-year-old in the country who dressed up as a punter for Halloween.” Dressing up as a punter involved Ryan’s mother hand-making a Bears jersey for him, but sadly he couldn’t get his hands on a helmet with a single-bar facemask. But while Ryan dreamed of punting from a young age, it’s safe to say Lockette didn’t always envision making a

name for himself as a gunner on special teams. And when Lockette first signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2011, he was too raw as a receiver to make an impact, despite his speed, and didn’t contribute on special teams to earn a roster spot. Now he is a big-play threat in Seattle’s offense, scoring two touchdowns on three catches, but more importantly, he has turned himself into an essential player on special teams. Part of Lockette’s pregame ritual now involves finding an opposing team’s punt returner in order to warn off his ill intentions. He won’t get into specifics about what’s said because, “I don’t want to get fined,” but it’s probably safe to assume it isn’t nice. “It’s different things depending on what’s going through my mind,” he said.

31-year-old Federal Way man whose motorcycle collided with a car on Pacific Highway South on Saturday morning died of his injuries. Federal Way police responded to the collision at approximately 9:56 a.m. at the intersection of South 279th Street and Pacific Highway South. A 79-year-old Des Moines driver entered the highway southbound from South 279th Street, when the motorcyclist, William Pleau, traveling in the same direction had just changed lanes from the HOV lane to the inside lane, according to the Federal Way police report. The car driver moved directly into the inside lane and collided with the motorcycle, forcing him into the

Elderly woman loses gold, diamonds, coin collection in burglary CRIME

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Man punches woman: At 1:57 a.m. on Sept. 28 in the 30600 block of Pacific Highway S., a man was arrested for punching a woman multiple times at View at the Lake Apartments. Prowler caught in act: At 5:52 a.m. on Sept. 28 in the 33800 block of 38th Place SW, a man was arrested after he was caught prowling a man’s vehicle. He was detained by the victim until police arrived and sent him to SCORE jail. A tool grinder and steel wire were recovered as evidence. Police find heroin: At 5 a.m. on Sept. 28 in the 3800 block of SW 338th Place, a 23-year-old

man was arrested after a man detained him for breaking into his trailer. The man told police he was sorry and that he was not a bad person. Police later searched him and found a syringe and a small bag of .32 grams of heroin in his front pants pocket. Doctor reports sex offense: At 11:47 a.m. on Sept. 28 in the 2200 SW 337th Place, a doctor called to report a possible sex offense against his 16-year-old patient that may have occurred over the summer. Paraphernalia found on man: At 1:23 p.m. on Sept. 28 in the 1900 block of S. 314th St., a 20-year-old man was arrested for possessing a glass and plastic pipe. Loss prevention reported the man was acting destructive in the office, throwing things and using aggressive profanity. After police detained him, they found the paraphernalia and he later admitted to using drugs. Elderly woman burglar-

ized: At 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 28 in the 1000 block of S. 302nd St., a 77-year-old woman hysterically reported her home was burglarized with more than $5,000 worth of items stolen. The burglar broke in through her bedroom window while she was at church and stole a TV, her gold jewelry collection, a coin collection, four diamond watches, five diamond rings, a diamond necklace, a gold pocket watch, a checkbook, a friend’s iPad and some of her medication. Her bedroom had also been ransacked with two bloody shirts left on her bed. The woman’s neighbor said she saw two men in their early 20s with dark skin run from the house. She also said the vehicle was an early 90s Chevrolet Cavalier with two tones — turquoise on top and silver on the bottom. Police seized the bloody shirts and the piece of glass with fingerprints as evidence. Dog bites woman: At 3:26

p.m. on Sept. 28 in the 30500 block of Eighth Ave. S., a dog was put on home confinement for 15 days and issued a written warning after it bit a woman outside of St. Vincent de Paul church. The woman, who spoke little English, and her friend walked past the dog owner and his two dogs as he held them away for them to pass. But one of his dogs pulled free and lunged at the woman, biting her. The woman sustained a scratch and puncture wound on the inside of her arm. Police determined the dog had been up to date on his rabies vaccinations, was licensed and had received obedience training. Animal locked in car for hours: At 2:51 a.m. on Sept. 27 in the 34800 block of Pacific Highway S., police responded to a report of an animal locked in a blue 2012 Honda for four hours at a McDonalds parking lot. Police seized the animal when the owner could not be located and placed it in a kennel. The pet will

go to Animal Control. Money stolen from paralyzed man: At 1:11 p.m. on Sept 27 in the 33300 block of 18th Lane S., a 57-year-old paralyzed man reported $300 missing from his wallet, which initially had $600 in it. Although he doesn’t have proof, he believes his aid workers, who are the only ones with access to it, stole the money. Stepmom calls cop on biological mom: At 9 a.m. on Sept. 27 in the 33900 block of Ninth Ave. SW, a stepmother reported that her 11-year-old stepson and 8-year-old step daughter were being abused by their biological mother. In July, Child Protective Services had responded because the girl disclosed to a counselor that she was being chased and belted by her mother and that her brother had intervened to prevent the assault. But the stepmother recently called police because she saw their mom swearing

and pushing her son in the parking lot of Saghalie Middle School park after they watched a soccer game. The mother denied the assault and the children appeared fine when a welfare check was performed at their home. Witness calls out child molestation: At 6:20 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the 2200 block of S. Commons, Target employees mistakenly reported a man was molesting a child. He initially shoved a man, thought to be a child by a witness, because he believed he threw money at him. The witness shouted that the guy was “assaulting a child” and was overheard by several people, which caused the inaccurate belief. Girl abused: At 7:44 p.m. on Sept. 26 in the 20th block of S. 338th Place, Child Protective Services was called to a home for child abuse against an 11-year-old girl.

NEIGHBORS MEET WITH MAYOR

Darcey recently contacted Mayor Jim Ferrell, who engaged his staff and they put together an action plan to help address the issue. On Tuesday evening, over 40 residents met with Ferrell, city staff and officials from the state Department of Ecology at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club, which owns Lake Jeane. City officials outlined some actions they are taking to help address the issue, before residents had the opportunity to ask questions and express their concerns — from questionable management to goose poop. Tricia Shoblom, environmental specialist for the Department of Ecology’s Water Quality program, said thanks to a warmer than average summer, toxic algae has bloomed across the state. She said phosphorous materials — including excessive fertilizer and fecal matter — feeds the algae. Dan Smith, a water quality specialist for the city’s Surface Water Management, got residents’ attention when he noted that a Canada goose defecates 3 pounds per day. “If you’ve got 30 geese, do the math. That’s 90 pounds per day of fecal matter, so that’s an issue,” Smith said, adding that lakes act as a sink and collect everything in an urban environment. Shoblom noted that bluegreen algae is a liver toxin and can kill a dog within hours. “It’s a very odd animal,” she said of algae, noting Ecology is working with the city to understand where the sources of pollution in the lakes are coming from. “We don’t understand exactly how it behaves or why it behaves a

certain way in one lake versus another.” So what can city officials do to help the issue? “This is an important first step to making sure that we can get this addressed,” Ferrell said. “The key thing is, we need to find out exactly what’s causing this. We’re not going to pass the buck; we’re not going to pre-judge this. We’re going to get down to the heart of what’s happening.” City officials have proposed a plan to monitor the water at five different locations along the watershed. Two of these stations will be located upstream and downstream in Joe’s Creek to monitor flows coming from Northeast Tacoma and Sleepy Hollow in Federal Way. Smith said the city has received complaints in the past that these two sites may be a source of contamination in Twin Lakes. He noted the city recently did “sort of a reconnaissance” and went to Sleepy Hollow, which has 24 parcels with onsite sewage systems. Twelve homes there are also in close proximity to Joe’s Creek. “We went down there to look and at first glance, I didn’t find a whole lot, there’s a couple baby goats down there,” Smith said. “There are some RVs with people living in them but I didn’t see any discharge pipes. We’ll con-

tinue to look at these things and make sure everything is on the up and up from a water quality standpoint.” The city will set up a third water sampling station near the Stonebrook development in Federal Way and two more in the inlet and outlet of Lake Lorene. Smith said every two weeks for the next year, city staff will look at identifying phosphorous concentrations in Joe’s Creek to get an idea of what is typical for the general land-use in the area. The city will be able to detect illicit discharge from sources such as detergents, chlorine and fluoride. The city will reach out to city of Tacoma officials to find out what they’re doing to address water issues with Joe’s Creek. In addition, the city will conduct targeted workshops to educate residents about what people can do to prevent water pollution and will seek funding from Ecology for a $50,000 freshwater algae grant. If the city is awarded the grant, Twin Lakes residents would be asked to match 25 percent of the funding. Finally, city staff said they could assist lake residents in forming a lake management district, similar to the districts residents created at Steel and North lakes.

lake; other folks don’t think they have a management responsibility for the other lake. Perhaps the city can help us manage both lakes better. Now, what I’ve just said is sort of controversial. But it is part of the undercurrent difficulty that we are having and dealing with the management of our collective both lakes.” Appleton said residents could create a lake management district consisting of both lakes. Lake Jeane resident Mary Jo Reintsma agreed with Wooley. “My plea would be to the club people,” Reintsma said. “We pay $75 a month, 12 months a year because we have to belong to the club because we live on the lake. It may be $36,000 a year that we give to the club and this year, to my knowledge, they would not spend one penny on our lake.” She said it “seems reasonable” that the club could contribute some of those fees to a lake management district that would incorporate both lakes. However, Paul Richter, who is a member of the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club’s board of directors, said they have applied treatments to the lake periodically throughout the years. “We did not do anything this year and the reason is we’re following the lead of what the homeowners association was doing on Lake Lorene,” Richter said, noting the association wasted their money because the algae grew back. “From our perspective, we’re a downstream victim, if you will, of what’s upstream and that’s why we are following the lead of Lake Lorene management.” He said the club is willing to work with homeowners and the city if the city identifies a viable solution. Other residents, including Kim Paustian and Tom Moehlman, were concerned about goose excrement and how to control geese, if they are contributing to the pollution. Appleton said the Steel Lake Management District is currently vetting this very question, which go before the Council in November.

water manager for the city’s Public Works department, said management districts are a “stable funding mechanism that show solidarity that homeowners are willing to invest in the lake.” But not all residents were persuaded that a lake management district is the answer.

Darcey said. “I’m scratching my head.”

Here’s what the monthly loan payment would be on a home mortgage loan using the following programs at prevailing interest rates:

“You talk a lot about a lake management district, which makes a lot of sense, but until we really know who’s at fault and what’s the prognosis, by forming a district you’re asking a very small number of property owners to address a problem that we don’t own,” one resident said during the meeting. Ferrell said he understood his sentiment, however, “this may be a great proactive step to make sure you’re the captains of your own destiny.” During one of the most controversial comments of the evening, the room silenced as Bob Wooley spoke. “In the discussion that we’re having is that there’s one lake — but there’s two lakes,” he said. “You said your action plan had five stations. There is no station on Lake Jeane, unless you call the outlet to Lake Lorene the inlet to Lake Jeane. My suggestion is that you broaden your five stations to at least six.” He suggested adding a sixth sampling station to Lake Jeane. “I don’t see any reason why we can’t,” Smith said. Several residents also pointed to questionable management of Lake Jeane. “We all have great praise for Gary leading the homeowners association on behalf of Lake Lorene,” Wooley said. “Some of us who live on Lake Jeane don’t have that same type of orientation from the owners of Lake Jeane, which is the club. We have to wrestle through the fact that we’re dealing with two lakes owned by two different [managers] and two different paths of current short-term activities. “It says to me that somewhere in this mix, perhaps led by the management system, some people accept that they have a management responsibility for their

lake,” he said of the plant nutrients that cause blue-green algae blooms. The product was last applied to the lake in 2013 and homeowners were assured that algae would not be a problem for at least five years. “So you can imagine my shock this year when I saw it and it was back,” Darcey said, noting this year is the worst he’s seen the problem. “How can that be? It took me two weeks to finally say, ‘That’s blue-green algae.’ I mean, I couldn’t believe it. I think I was in shock because I had convinced the board to spend all this money.” He took a sample of the lake eight weeks ago and found out it was toxic. Since then, both Lake Lorene and Lake Jeane — collectively called Twin Lakes — have been closed. “You’re supposed to stay out of the water,” he said. “So I have two kayaks and can’t use them. We have signs next to the lakes telling people to keep your dogs out of the water, stay out of the water.” He said he’s heard from many residents, who are “obviously upset. I feel like it’s the [association’s] obligation to maintain a reasonable lake for people to use because we’re paying dues and part of the dues go towards maintaining that lake. We’re just not able to do it. I don’t know why it’s doing what it’s doing.” For the homeowners and city officials, the source of pollution in the lakes is a mystery. But after some sampling, Darcey and others believe that Joe’s Creek may be part of the culprit as it contains phosphorous. The creek, which flows through the cities of Federal Way and Tacoma, feeds into the two private, manmade lakes. “I don’t know what we’re

Federal Way receives funding for four new police officers FROM STAFF REPORTS

The U.S. Department of Justice, office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) recently announced funding awards to seven cities and counties in the Western District of Washington, aimed at creating, and in some cases protecting, 33 law enforcement positions. Federal Way received funding for four new officers. Nearly $121 million will be awarded nationally, including $6.2 million for Western Washington. “This essential program will put more officers on our streets and in our schools to improve community safety,” said former U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “It was a competitive process for grants, and today’s announcement is a tribute to these departments who demonstrated how they will serve their communities.” In addition to Federal Way, the Seattle Police Department and Tacoma Police Department each received funding for 10 new officers. Auburn is funded for five officers and the cities of Fife and Aberdeen one officer each. The Skagit County Sheriff ’s Department was awarded funding for two officers. “The COPS office is pleased to assist local law enforcement agencies throughout the country in addressing their most critical public safety issues,” said Ronald L. Davis, director of the Community Oriented Policing Services office. “Funding from this year’s program will allow many cities and counties to apply new sworn personnel to issues related to violent crime, property crime and school safety.” The Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Program offers grants to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to hire or rehire community policing officers. The program provides salaries and benefits for officer and deputy hires for three years. Grantees for the 2014 hiring program were selected based on their fiscal needs, local crime rates and community policing plans. Community Oriented Policing Services is a federal agency responsible for advancing community policing nationwide. For more information, visit www.cops.usdoj.gov.

County Council cancels February Metro service reductions FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Metropolitan King County Council this week tabled — until completion of the county’s 2015-2016 budget — any further service reductions on Metro Transit. This action canceled the proposed bus cuts and service changes slated for February 2015. Following the defeat of Proposition 1 in April of this year, the county executive asked the Council to approve legislation that would reduce Metro bus service by 550,000 hours between September 2014 and September 2015. A majority of the County Council sought a different approach, and on June 9 passed an ordinance approving the service reduction for September, totaling 161,000 annual service hours on bus routes that were below the 25 percent productivity threshold as part of the county’s adopted transit service guidelines. The remaining cuts were tabled. The county executive vetoed the ordinance. In July, the Council adopted an ordinance laying out a process that would account for Metro’s finances when assessing future cuts.

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. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
