Despite claiming that he

He acknowledged the five federal tax liens and seven state tax liens against BlueWater Wireless that he was part owner of, one of which totaled approximately $103,700.

Grand opening a homerun Kirsten Collingwood and her daughter Jennifer were the first in line at 6:15 a.m. to see former Seattle Mariners right fielder Jay “Bone” Buhner’s appearance in Federal Way on Sunday. The duo, along with Chris Baldwin and Calaya Ruoff waited more than six hours before Buhner was expected to sign autographs during DICK’s Sporting Goods’ grand opening at The Commons mall. At 12:30 p.m. when Buhner arrived, over 150 Mariners fans stood in a line that wrapped around the entrance of the store. Buhner is among the most recognizable players of his time, well known for his shaved head, thick goatee and patch of pine tar on the right hip of his uniform, according to the Mariners’ website. DICK’S Sporting Goods’ sixth store in Washington is located at 1819 S. Commons, Federal Way.

Police find baby in street several houses away from home CRIME
This week’s…
ALERT
Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Pants-less man injured in alley: At 7:19 a.m. on Oct. 5 in the 32000 block of Pacific Highway S., a victim was found lying in an alley behind a business with head injuries. The victim was conscious and treated by firefighters at the scene. The victim had no pants or shoes on but his clothes were located nearby, soiled. There were also several empty bottles of alcohol nearby. When asked what happened, the victim said he was not injured and denied any assault. Drive-by shooting: At 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 5 in the 2200 block of S. 344th St., two witnesses were attending to their storage spaces at Garage Town when they heard six to seven gunshots. One of the witnesses looked toward the east of the property and saw a newer model Nissan Altima speeding away from the dead end and turn around near 2200 S. 244th St. The witnesses were too far away to see inside the vehicle and could not see a license plate. The responding officer located an empty .40 caliber shell casings on the street near the north edge of the turn-around. Man appears to be police officer: At 1:22 p.m. on Oct. 5 at the 4700 block of SW 320th St., a motorcyclist was stranded in the roadway and two good samaritans assisted to help. A red Ford Taurus pulled up with two flashing blue lights on the front bumper and a male driver exited. He had a handgun
holstered to his hip and he kept his hand on the gun while he approached the motorist. The male behaved in a way that led the witness to think he was a police officer. When one of the samaritan’s husband arrived, the male got back into his vehicle and sped away. Felon runs from police: At an unknown time on Oct. 4 in the 33200 block of Pacific Highway S., a man was arrested for second-degree assault, a weapons offense, a traffic offense, obstruction of justice and burglary. Just before he was contacted by police, he tossed a stolen handgun. Police arrested him on a traffic stop but connected him to a previous assault. He ran from police and during his escape attempt he forced his way into a room at New Horizon Motel to elude capture. Police arrested the man and confirmed he is a convicted felon who cannot own or possess firearms. A handgun and ammunition were recovered from the scene. Man arrested on warrant: At 11:45 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the 31600 block of Pacific Highway S., a man was arrested in the parking lot of Sleep Country USA. A name check through dispatch revealed he had a $5,000 warrant out of the Fife Police Department for indecent exposure. When officers began to detain him for the warrant, he resisted. The suspect was cleared by South King Fire and Rescue at the scene before he was booked into SCORE jail. Officers seized a backpack and knife. Burglary at Rite Aid: At 2:10 a.m. on Oct. 4 in the 32000 block of Pacific Highway S., officers responded to an alarm call at Rite Aid. When they arrived, they saw a shattered, pushed in
window leading to the pharmacy. A K-9 track was conducted but unsuccessful. Video surveillance shows an unknown man broke in and removed an unknown amount of cigarettes and fled out the fire exit. Woman shoots ex-boyfriend: At 7 a.m. on Oct. 4 in the 34500 block of Ninth Ave. S., a woman shot her ex-boyfriend once in the torso and then drove him to St. Francis Hospital for treatment. Police determined the incident occurred in the city of Des Moines at the woman’s residence. Des Moines police have since taken over the investigation. Baby found in roadway: At 1:21 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the 200 block of S. Third St., an officer was dispatched to the roadway where he found a child who was approximately 18 months old. He located the mother a few houses down, who stated she was in the bathroom and other children who were about 10 years old were supposed to be watching her. No criminal charges were filed, however, the case was forwarded to Child Protective Services. Fraudulent callers dupe elderly woman: At 7:47 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the 2600 block of S. 288th St., an elderly woman’s son reported that over the last several months, unknown suspects had been contacting her via phone claiming she owes them money in various amounts and requesting payments via Western Union. He said his mother will send payments and he estimates she’s paid around $50,000 out over the past several months.

Man extorted by Skype sex video: At 12:45 a.m. on Oct. 2 in the 35900 block of 14th Place S., a victim used an instant messaging service to meet a female. According to the police report, the female suggested the use of Skype video messaging. The female sent a friend request on Facebook to verify the victim was an adult and then encouraged him to expose his genitals and

[4] October 10, 2014 his Federal Way home and [ FLYER from page 1] lien for unpaid unemployment insurance contributions with the same business. The nearly $46,915 tax lien for back taxes against Wilkinson Enterprises Inc. AKA Wireless Advisors that he is shareholder of is true, Dovey said, as well as the shareholder’s failure to pay industrial insurance taxes, and a lien on unpaid worker and community right to know fees. Democrats allege two of his businesses he was part owner of, Triple Jag and Tropical Touch, were also issued warrants for unpaid taxes, although Dovey could only confirm the warrant for Tropical Touch. And he states that his former companies BlueWater Wireless and Wilkinson Enterprises he partly owned have faced a total of seven lawsuits. He could not corroborate the allegation that claims he owed $2,857 for not paying radio advertising on Wilkinson Enterprises.
PROPERTY TAXES
King County and Pierce County Department of Assessment documents show Dovey was four months delinquent on property taxes for his homes in Federal Way and Tacoma. A September report indicates Dovey owed $3,538 on
$2,169 on his Tacoma home. Records also show Dovey has a recent history of paying taxes late. In 2013, he had a negative balance of approximately $1,162 that carried over to 2014. But he said those have been taken care of. “My wife’s a real estate agent, she manages our properties,” Dovey said. “I called her, yeah, she missed making a payment on the last quarter of our [Federal Way] house. It got paid last week.” He said he also paid the property taxes for his Tacoma home, including the 2013 balance. “So if you go back and look at the different properties, you know, I don’t manage the real estate; my wife does. She manages a few houses and she didn’t pay it. She paid now,” he said. “Have you ever missed a payment on anything? Everybody has.” However, Burns said Dovey’s late payments also point to fiscal responsibility. “I would guess, and I don’t know the figure exactly, that there are a significant number of people who pay their property taxes either through escrow or themselves and do so on time,” Burns said, noting that Dovey didn’t handle his property taxes responsibly “and he’s in the midst of an election cycle. It doesn’t bode well for the responsibil-
www.federalwaymirror.com ity we’re looking for in the Legislature.”
STATE, FEDERAL TAX LIENS
The mailer outlined, and the Mirror confirmed through records, that at least five federal and 12 state liens have been placed against three businesses that Dovey was a shareholder of. Dovey listed himself as a 33.33 percent owner and a sales manager of BlueWater Wireless in 2011 and years beyond. BlueWater Wireless was located in Federal Way on Pacific Highway South. The IRS filed five tax liens, four of which Dovey is listed as a party on, against the business in 2011 with a Washington state warrant for unpaid taxes against the business for $68,889 from 2005-08. Include penalties and interest, and the total comes to approximately $103,700. In 2012, two state Department of Labor and Industries tax liens were issued against the business, totaling $2,163, according to documents from the department. That same year, the business received a warrant from the state of Washington Employment Security Department for approximately $4,686 in unpaid unemployment insurance contributions. In 2013, the business got another three Department
of Labor and Industries tax liens totaling $1,717. Dovey was also a 50 percent owner in Wilkinson Enterprises, DBA Consolidated Cellular, according to 1999 financial disclosure documents, but was the only governing person and president of the business when it closed in 2005. The next year, the state issued the company Wilkinson Enterprises Inc. AKA Wireless Advisors a $46,915 tax warrant, with $1,369 owed in industrial insurance taxes, according to the documents. However, King County Superior Court and Department of Labor and Industries documents show the warrants were paid in 2001 and 2002. Opened in 1996 in Federal Way, the owners of Triple Jag were issued their first tax warrant a year later for $2,005. Dovey owned the business with two other associates, however could not confirm that warrant allegation. Regarding the state liens, Dovey said one of the shareholders decided to leave the business. “Our account we had already set up before. The B&O tax comes in, we pay ours; he pays his,” Dovey said. However, when the company was audited, “they found that because we paid our B&O tax and he paid his, I had to pay his B&O tax
also. So we got double taxed.” He said as a result of the audit, he also had to pay approximately $17,000 for some sales tax issues, even though he had already paid the sales tax. He said BlueWater Wireless shareholders also missed filing some quarterly federal taxes. “There were some 941 taxes that were due,” he said. “We worked out with the federal government a payment program and they’re almost paid off. It’s the company [BlueWater Wireless], but I took it on personally to get it paid off.”
LAWSUITS
Dovey’s business, BlueWater Wireless, that he was a shareholder of was sued for approximately $253,755 in 2008 for failure to pay bills in Whatcom County Superior Court. Dovey said his business partner in that case left the business and was elected as a commissioner in Whatcom County. “He wanted to get out of the business, there was a whole bunch of reasons, so my other shareholder and I offered him his money back,” Dovey recalled, noting they wrote him a check for approximately $76,000. However, the partner said they owed him $253,755. Through arbitration, a
stipulation and forbearance agreement was finally reached on Oct. 11, 2013. Dovey and his other partner paid the exiting shareholder approximately $100,000. A year after the aforementioned lawsuit was filed, a landlord filed another suit against BlueWater. The plaintiff and landlord Triad Center claimed BlueWater owed $9,232 for skipping out on two months rent. But the case was dismissed after no action was taken. However, a different landlord company, Bonney Lake Plaza, LLC, came after the business in 2010 for $94,640 for, again, not paying rent. Dovey said the company was expanding stores and he found a good location in Puyallup to build a cellular store and coffee shop. However, he said the landlord of that property did not disclose that the business was not hooked up to the sewer. They would need to drill through cement and 20 feet of sand to hook it up — a costly endeavor. King County Superior Court judges dismissed the case on Sept. 14, 2012 because the plaintiff didn’t comply with the case scheduling order and “failed to advance for trial on Aug. 27, 2012,” according to court documents.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Clean up parks and Ebola epidemic : Mr. Federal Way, I am a volunteer and I often clean up trash along the BPA trail and Celebration park. During my walks, I have picked up numerous dog poop bags with feces inside that have been thrown into bushes, shrubs and the grass areas along the trail. Mr. Federal Way, why do you think some dog owners make the effort to pick up after their dog but don’t go the extra step in actually taking it to the trash cans? A: Well there could be any number of reasons but lack of garbage cans or pure laziness sounds like the most plausible. In a previous Q&A with Mr. Federal Way, a resident asked about park upkeep and Mr. Federal Way discovered the 30-plus parks don’t get enough love because there’s not enough maintenance crews to clean, prune and
manicure every park Federal Way has to offer. Mr. Federal Way commends your voluntary efforts to pick up the poo. Federal Way should be so lucky to get more people like you (points for rhyming). Mr. Federal Way suggests the short-term plan would be to hire more park cleaneruppers. But the long-term should look something like a local legislator touting the environmentally friendly use of BioBags, the biodegradable alternative to plastic pet poop bags. Mr. Federal Way thinks that legislator would win at least the August primary. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I heard Harborview Medical Center announced it

center in the state. Not to mention, it’s near the coast, which makes sense from an international standpoint. Local and state health officials say that all hospitals should know how to evaluate and manage Ebola cases. But if St. Francis Hospital, the Virginia Mason Medical Center or the Seattle Children’s Hospital branch in Federal Way starts accepting patients, maybe it might hit home a little more. Mr. Federal Way hopes to never find out. Q: Mr. Federal Way, will you be attending the Chamber Gala on Nov. 15? A: None of your business.

ext week, the Mirror will welcome a new reporter, Sarah Kehoe. Kehoe will replace former reporter Greg Allmain, who has moved on to new endeavors. Before joining the Federal Way newsroom, Kehoe was a reporter at the bi-monthly Bothell/Kenmore Reporter. During her time with the sister-newspaper, she covered stories on various topics from crime, breaking news, city government to education. Kehoe grew up in Washington state, attending high school in Olympia and college at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, where she graduated with a journalism and psychology degree.
Political trick or treat in Federal Way The candy is on the shelves, children are all talking about what kind of costume they will wear and parents are deciding whose turn it is to walk the children around the neighborhood. It’s time for the ghosts and goblins to come out. It’s the Halloween season. But to candidates running for office, “trick or treat” has a whole different meaning. Historically, the Halloween “October Surprise” has always been feared by every candidate. Many will even take down their signs for a couple of days just to avoid the expense of replacing them, either due to vandals or political opponents. Of course, the big worry for candidates isn’t really their signs. It is whether or not their opponent will hit them with an allegation or last-minute mailer that can change the outcome of the election by turning a possible victory into a loss. Some candidates go to the extra expense of sending out an inoculation card, which tells voters not to believe
anything they get in the mail around Halloween. On the other hand, if your election is close and you want to increase your chances of winning, what better time to send out a mailer telling the voters something awful about your opponent then a few weeks before the election? The bigger the race, the harder the politics. Control of the state Senate could hinge on one of four contests being waged around the state. With long-time Democratic incumbent Tracey Eide not running in the 30th District, the race between Democrat, Shari Song and Republican, Mark Miloscia could be critical to who controls the Senate in January. If you watched television last week or checked your mailbox, you know Halloween is near and the end of the campaign season is not far behind. Independent special interest groups that are affiliated with the Republican party have been mailing literature over the last few weeks attacking Bob Roegner

Song and accusing her of being a carpetbagger by moving here to run for office. They also say that she ran for the County Council on the east side of the county last year. That part is true, she did run for office in another community, but she didn’t just move here. Song actually moved “back “ here, into the same neighborhood where her relatives live. Her opponents fail to mention that she is a former Federal Way resident and was very active in the community before she moved away. But in political terms, the allegation has stuck and made winning a long shot for her. Republican Miloscia was elected to the state Legislature from this area several times as a Democrat and switched parties. His previous elections have given him name familiarity and experience. He would be difficult to beat under any circumstances. Groups that provide “independent” support for candidates are not supposed to coordinate with the candidates campaign that they are trying to help. Miloscia’s campaign has only raised the residency issue indirectly, but the allegation while only partially accurate, has clearly hurt Song.

Miloscia is not the right choice for Federal Way As a breast cancer survivor and someone who has been through the painful process of receiving chemotherapy cancer drugs, I watched with heightened interest to the CBS 60 Minutes, Oct. 5 segment on the high cost of cancer drugs and how a family in crisis and retirees can end up in severe financial difficulty paying exorbitant prices
for essential life saving treatment. As 60 Minutes pointed out, the drug costs have nothing to do with research and development; the pharmaceutical companies charge whatever they want. The show specifically highlighted Novartis Pharmaceutical and PhRMA, the drug industry’s lobbying association. Why is this so important to me and how does this affect us in Federal Way? Let me tell you. Mark Miloscia, Republican, is running for state Senate in the 30th District. He has taken over $9,000 in donations from the drug industry and companies Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, McKes-
son, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, Express Scripts and Caremark RX. He has received almost $2,000 from PhRMA, the drug companies’ lobbyist in Washington, DC. Who do you think will be on the side of the drug companies? Who will do their bidding? Miloscia is not for the working class and retirees. Shari Song is on the side of Federal Way families. Vote Shari Song for state Senate in the 30th District. She cares about you not the out-of-state special interest groups.
Madelyn Grayson, Federal Way
Shari needs a new song
It seems there was a lot of passion written in last week’s letter to the editor. Thanks for giving Mark Miloscia more press time. The truth is that Mark is not against family planning. However, he is certainly against the killing of innocent life in any form and yes, especially in abortion. However, this does not make Miloscia a woman hater. Actually, quite the opposite. Miloscia respects women and families and knows that our country is struggling as the traditional family unit falters. Statistics prove this over and over. Women are disrespected when their bodies are violated and sold a bill of goods when they are told that abortion is a “choice.” When in fact given the
“choice,” most women would never choose to abort their child. Generally speaking, this happens when women feel like they have no choices, i.e. financial support, husband, family etc. Miloscia stands for much more than this issue alone. He knows how to be fiscally responsible. He knows how to help the marginalized in our communities. He has been a teacher at our schools and takes education very seriously. He has served our country not only in the military, but as our state representative. I ask you, do you want someone that opened a pre-school, or someone that can run it. Let’s find some real issues to target here and change the tune of the Song.

close, is the one between incumbent Democratic House member Roger Freeman and Republican businessman Jack Dovey. The Democratic Central Committee recently sent out a mailing that raised questions about Dovey and his business practices, including alleging a failure to pay property taxes, Internal Revenue Service tax liens and lawsuits involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. It questioned whether Dovey could be trusted to handle the public’s money. The governmental records referenced give the allegation political weight, and they appear to be accurate, although some don’t have dates included and one appears to be over 20 years old. Dovey says most of the issues have been cleared up. How accurate the allegations are, and how Dovey answers the questions will be critical to how the public reacts. But with two well known and well liked candidates, like Freeman and Dovey, just one error or allegation that isn’t
well explained to the public could spell the difference between winning and losing. Song has done a good job of explaining her long attachment to Federal Way, but it may not be enough. Dovey’s situation is more complicated and will require a far more detailed explanation. But keep in mind, we still have three weeks to go! Expect to see more. And how much will these Halloween “trick or treats” hurt or help the candidates? That’s up to you as a voter. But maybe at a minimum you should ask the legislative candidates, if they are elected, to vote to require expenditures to be made directly to the candidates in the form of donations so we hold them accountable. Third party attacks by groups some voters don’t know allows candidates to avoid accountability. Transparency in government and elections should be all candidates’ goal.

McKenzie and the Titans are meeting expectations BY TERRENCE HILL
For the Mirror
D
o not tell Chad McKenzie that he is undersized. The senior cornerback and wide receiver for the Todd Beamer Titans does not believe that description holds any truth. “I can compete with anybody on the field,” says McKenzie. “I don’t listen to what they say. I just know what I’m capable of and do what I can.” McKenzie stands at around 5 feet 8 inches and 150 pounds, but that has not stopped him from making big plays for the Titans this year. Against Mount Rainier in
School district to induct Athletic Hall of Fame honorees FROM STAFF REPORTS
their fourth game of the season, McKenzie intercepted the first pass of the game. He would intercept another before the half, and early in the fourth quarter he would catch Beamer’s first touchdown of the night. They would go on to win 24-0. “He’s a tough kid,” says Beamer head coach Darren McKay. “His teammates respect him even though he’s a little guy because he’s as tough as anyone else.” Last year McKenzie began earning playing time on special teams and defense. By the end of the season he was being inserted as a nickel back on defense. McKenzie is now one of the team captains that Beam-
er rotates in and McKay believes he has easily earned that role. “He’s a smart kid too,” says McKay. “You usually don’t have to tell him things more than once. He’s also a film study guy. He’s always one of the first ones here during our film sessions.” McKenzie, who had four interceptions through the first four games of the season, believes that the film study has helped him tremendously this year. “I study all of the receivers I’m covering, so I know what route they’re running when they get to the line,” says McKenzie. Beamer was projected as a playoff team before the
season by many. So far they have met those expectations with their 4-1 record. It is the best start in school history. Before the season began, McKay told his players to not focus on what the media was saying about the team. McKenzie quoted his coach saying, “Publicity is poison.” McKenzie and his teammates have played at a high level since their opening week loss to Rogers. In their four consecutive wins, they have held their opponents to eight points or less. Two of the wins were shutouts. “We’re playing completely different than probably 90 percent of the teams in our league,” says McKay. “Some of the games in our league
look like basketball scores. We’re trying to shut opponents down and we’re not afraid to run the ball and run the clock.” Beamer will now finish off its conference schedule against the three other schools in the Federal Way school district. McKay calls these the money games. “Our goals are to finish strong,” says McKenzie. “We have to go out there and play the way we can, win the last three games, have momentum in the playoffs and keep it rolling.” If Beamer does keep things rolling, their week eight matchup against Federal Way may be for the top seed in the SPSL Northwest.
Federal Way Public Schools will celebrate the induction of its seventh Athletic Hall of Fame class at Todd Beamer High School the evening of Oct. 22.
The honorees represent the finest in athletic administration, coaching, program development and have made a significant impact on the district’s athletic program, school district officials said.
The inductees will be presented during the Decatur vs. Thomas Jefferson football game the next evening on Oct. 23. The Hall of Fame class of 2014/2015 features four coaches who left a lasting mark on the district’s athletic programs and enriched the lives of their athletes. Tom Eilertson graduated from Decatur High School in 1979 and started teaching at Illahee Middle School in 1984. Eilertson has coached wrestling for 25 years and football and track for 30 years and is still going strong. His impact on the Illahee athletic and P.E. program is immeasurable. He has coached 85
teams over 30 years and all bear his trademark of doing things correctly and working the hardest. His enthusiastic support of all athletes and programs is the cornerstone of Illahee’s phenomenal success. Mike Grady grew up in Federal Way, graduating from Decatur. He started his career at Totem Middle School where he coached track and boys and girls basketball for 11 years. His first Totem track team had 22 participants and his last had 185, demonstrating Grady’s tremendous ability to get students involved. His teams won three district championships in track and two in basketball. Grady went on to coach girls basketball at Thomas Jefferson High School for six years where his teams won at least 10 games every year culminating in Jefferson’s first appearance in the state tournament. Grady finished his Jefferson career as athletic director, initiating several facility improvements and starting the Raider parent booster club. Ron Mattila has been an elementary P.E. specialist for over 30 years. He has coached elementary and high school track, often volunteering as an official at middle and high school meets. Mattila is largely responsible for developing the district elementary track “play-day” into a nationally recognized program that has all 23 district schools with over 2,000 participants competing in four meets during the spring. Mattila’s commitment to the program is legendary – he is known as Mr. Elementary Track, officials said.

Seahawks’ Wagner, Mebane have been overlooked and underrated
N
played such a big role in last year’s Super Bowl winning season. Wagner, of course, is used to it by now. He has spent his NFL career losing out on individual honors given to fellow class of 2012 linebacker Luke Kuechly, who beat Wagner for defensive rookie of the year honors and is a big reason why Wagner has yet to make the Pro Bowl. And the snubs go much further back than that. Wagner received just one Division I offer out of Colony High School in Ontario, Calif., then he came into the draft having to prove a player out of Utah State could play in the NFL. “It’s nothing new,” Wagner said. “Coming out of the draft, ‘He’s a nobody because he went to Utah State.’ It’s nothing at this point, it’s just a chip on the shoulder that’s always going to be there.” Yet in spite of all of this, Wagner probably isn’t even the most overlooked player on his own defense. Just ask hype man Richard Sherman about defensive tackle Brandon Mebane. “C’mon, this is probably a three-years-running Pro Bowl snub,” Sherman said. “Brandon Mebane is like the engine that helps our
defense go.” And it’s fitting that Wagner and Mebane, who in his eighth season, “may be playing the best he’s played,” according to Pete Carroll, are co-captains of the good ship Pro Bowl Snub. Fitting because both make their biggest impact when the other is on his game. While Mebane doesn’t put up big stats as a defensive tackle — though his 163 tackles since 2011 are fifth most in the NFL by an interior lineman over that span — his ability to occupy blockers and create havoc are a big part of why Wagner is one of the league leaders in tackles. “He’s the reason I play as good as I play,” Wagner said. “He does a great job keeping guys off of me. I’m surprised nobody notices how great he’s been playing.” Or as linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. puts it: “We’re linebackers; we back the line. So when the line does their job, it makes our job a lot easier.” And if Wagner and the rest of the linebackers aren’t making plays, the efforts of Mebane and the rest of the linemen goes for naught, and they don’t get the credit they deserve. That symbiotic relationship between line and linebackers, between Mebane and Wagner, is a big reason why the Seahawks have

duties, Davidson was the assistant junior varsity basketball coach and eventually head wrestling coach. He was always available to help out at athletic events whenever needed. He also found time to be the football game timer, the starter for track meets and the assistant starter for the junior high district track meets. He was someone coaches could count on to help them with the extra duties and tasks required for their respective sports. Davidson spent two years as athletic director and the assistant principal
at Federal Way High School from 1988 through 1990 and spent many nights supervising evening activities and events. Davidson returned to Kilo Middle School from 1990 through 1998 to serve as assistant principal and later, principal. He continued to support athletics in those roles. In 1998, Davidson moved to the district offices, where he continued his support of athletic programs. In 1999 he assumed responsibility for overseeing athletic programs for the entire dis-

ot long into his usual Wednesday media session, Richard Sherman transformed from football player to politician with an agenda. Specifically, the Seattle Seahawks cornerback was campaigning for a couple of teammates he feels aren’t getting the recognition they deserves. “Bobby Wagner is having an incredible year,” Sherman said of Seattle’s thirdyear middle linebacker. “Obviously the last couple years, our linebackers have been a little bit over shadowed; K.J. Wright also ... So voters, everybody out there, Bobby Wagner is a Pro Bowl player. He should be in the Defensive Player of the Year race as well.” And if you can get past the fact that Sherman has to stump for his overlooked middle linebacker because his middle linebacker is overlooked, at least in part, due to the well-deserved attention given to the secondary, then you’ll realize that the man has a point. Wagner has been the team’s leading tackler during the past three years, yet the player taken a round ahead of Russell Wilson is regularly overshadowed by Seattle’s star-studded secondary, as well as the pass rush that
Seahawks’ defensive tackle Brandon Mebane strikes a pose at a recent football game. Courtesy of the Herald what is currently the stingiest run defense in the NFL, allowing just 62.3 rushing yards per game. Mebane rarely talks about himself or his play. Instead, almost every time a reporter approaches, he breaks into song: “I’m just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, about somebody, who can save anybody.” “I don’t do nothing but come to work,” he says after a few lines of the Williams Brothers song. “I don’t do nothing. I’m not the guy y’all want to talk to. But Mebane will jokingly
note that, “I’m not All-Pro, I’m not All American ... I mean, that’s (Sherman’s) opinion, but if you look at Wikipedia, it’s not on there.” Perhaps after this season those honors will be next to the name of Seattle’s longest tenured player, or its tackle-machine at middle linebacker. For now, however, two of Seattle’s best, and yes, oftentimes overlooked players will just have to be content playing big roles on the NFL’s best defense. “It doesn’t (bother me),”
trict and continued in that position until 2012. Today, as deputy superintendent, Davidson continues to be a strong supporter for athletics in Federal Way Public Schools. Randy Kaczor began working with Federal Way Public Schools in 1974. He taught for one year at Lakeland Elementary, two years at Kilo and 13 years at Illahee. He became the assistant principal at Illahee in 1991 and continued in that position until 1996 when he became Illahee’s principal - a position he
held from 1996 to 2002. At Illahee, Kaczor coached girls basketball and strongly supported and supervised all athletic events and student activities. He became the principal of Federal Way High School in 2003 and continued in that position through 2006. At the high school level, Kaczor was a strong believer and supporter of the district’s athletic programs. In 2007, he became the interim principal at Sacajawea Middle School and continues in that job at the present time. He served on the WCD III
Wagner said of being overlooked. “As long as these guys in this locker room recognize what I do, that’s all that matters to me. As far as the outside, the outside will come eventually.” If Sherman, one of the NFL’s most visible players, keeps this up, eventually could come soon for two players who have been huge parts of Seattle’s defensive success.
Herald Columnist John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet. com Executive board for three years, from 2010 through 2013. Kaczor has always been a strong advocate for athletic programs in the Federal Way School District and has worked hard to improve and expand Federal Way athletics.

Amputee Advocates rekindle adventure BY ASHLEY WALLS UW News Lab
D
an Huntley, a Spanaway resident, drives 22 miles twice a month to attend Federal Way meetings for Amputee Advocates, which he describes as a blend of a prayer group mixed with a “can-do” support system. “Sometimes, people just need to know that there are others who are in a similar situation — see how they’ve overcome similar challenges in their lives,” he said. After a motorcycle accident in 1984, Huntley’s right leg was amputated below the knee. He had the option of skin grafts, but due to the high risk of infection, chose to have his leg amputated and begin the long road to recovery. Small everyday things like getting out of the shower and driving have required the biggest adjustments, Huntley said. “Your routine is completely different, and those are the things that people are scared of adjusting to when they’re in the hospital, faced with becoming an amputee.” Jay Weil began Amputee Advocates in 2001, wanting
to create a support group for amputees within the community. “We want to be able to network, address concerns and hail each other’s triumphs,” he said. After a car accident in 1982 left him with a disabled left leg and a crushed ankle, doctors fought to help Weil keep his leg. But, after years of pain, surgery and no increased functionality, doctors finally recommended that it should be amputated. He had his lower left leg removed in 1999. Huntley joined Amputee Advocates in 2003, after a member of the group approached him at an annual amputee golf tournament held at Riverbend Golf Club in Kent. “I basically didn’t have a group to start with. I learned on my own,” Huntley said. “Being a part of Amputee Advocates shortened the learning curve and gave me a support group.” The annual golf tournament is one of many activities members attend. The group also provides dancing sessions, tai chi and yoga classes, potlucks and outings to Mariners games. A certified scuba instructor in the
group has also provided diving lessons. After contacting a group in England that uses ski-bikes to assist military amputees to regain their sense of adventure, Weil and his prosthetist, Greg Davidson, built customized ski-bikes to teach amputees at the Snoqualmie Summit. “We want people to see that amputees can live a normal life,” Weil said. Some of the amputees that have attended the ski-biking sessions have been military amputees as well. “My heart is overjoyed when I witness these young men bravely ride down the hill and shout with enthusiasm.” The group also does home visits for patients recovering from recent surgery. Trained visitors can provide information and assistance to other amputee patients, and help them and their families adapt to a new lifestyle. At age 76, Weil is currently on his sixth prosthetic leg model, this one known as a “Cheetah leg.” Davidson specially modified this completely carbon-fiber model to allow a greater range of motion, balance and comfort level of patients. “I was leg number 13,” Weil joked, adding that
Davidson is one of the only prosthetists in the region to use his technology from an Icelandic prosthetic manufacturer. He added that only a few dozen amputees are using this model. Amputees for 15 years, Weil and Huntley have seen medical technology rapidly change. Both described their first prosthetic legs as clunky and difficult to use. “It’s amazing what bioengineering technology can do now,” Weil said. This is part of the reason why members of Amputee Advocates are encouraged to participate in prosthetic research studies. They frequently volunteer for research studies at the University of Washington’s Bioengineering Lab as well as the Veterans Hospital. The studies vary from testing new materials of prosthetics to testing the efficacy of prosthetic adaptation. Members also volunteer to assist with the UW Medical School’s prosthetist program, allowing students to practice skills such as creating and molding a prosthetic limb for an amputee. “We feel as though we’re contributing to future amputee’s quality of life by helping with this type of research,”
Jay Weil founded Amputee Advocates in 2001, and encourages
members to continue to lead active lives. Weil is seen here cleaning his roof, even with his prosthetic leg. Contributed photo Weil said. Only a few core members attend meetings, but Huntley says that the numbers aren’t important. “We want to be a revolving door,” Huntley said. “Our goal isn’t to have the biggest group. We just want people to know that there are other people like them, missing limbs, and living their lives successfully. They come in once or twice, and that’s all they need.” Weil’s advice to those faced with amputation, whether due to a progressive disease like diabetes or the result of an unforeseen
trauma, is to “create a support group, educate yourself on all of the options that you have, and look for a mentor.” Spouses and significant others also play a huge role in the recovery process. “They have to adjust and learn right along with you,” Weil said. “Everyday routines have to change, and you require a lot more assistance — it’s like raising another child.” Amputee Advocates meets every second Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Education Room at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way.

Mirror accepts award in memory of employee BY ALISA GRAMANN For the Mirror
N
ot a single dry eye remained as Mirror publisher Rudi Alcott accepted an award in honor and memory of Mary Lou Goss, a former Mirror employee who lost her lung cancer battle in February. “Here was a fine lady, with the sunset of her life approaching, who cared more about the people she touched than herself,” Alcott wrote in an acceptance speech, which was read during the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association award ceremony on Friday.
In Support Of Cancer Awareness Bob Roegner
The association awarded Goss the Dixie Lee Bradley award posthumously. The award comprises an engraved clock and $500, which will be used for the scholarship the Mirror set up in Goss’s honor. It was a touching moment and a fitting tribute to the beloved wife, mother and coworker, Alcott said. “As her time was coming to an end, you would never have known it,” he said. Goss, only 57 when she died, worked at the Mirror for seven years, continuing her work throughout her battle and weekly rounds of chemotherapy. Goss

worked through her pain because she was a dedicated employee who enjoyed her work. “She left nothing on the table,” Alcott said. Goss was the kind of employee who only needed to be asked once to complete a task. An employer could rest assured it would be done, Alcott said. “The Mirror, Mirror staff and the Federal Way community became the focus Mary Lou needed to stay positive and live out a purposeful life,” the Goss family wrote in a statement, which was also read at the award [ more AWARD, page 12 ]

How to examine your breasts BY AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Lie down on your back and place your right arm behind your head. The exam is done while lying down, not standing up. This is because when lying down the breast tissue spreads evenly over the chest wall and is as thin as possible, making it much easier to feel all the breast tissue. Use the finger pads of the 3 middle fingers on your left hand to feel for lumps in the right breast. Use overlapping dime-sized circular motions of the finger pads to feel the breast tissue. Use 3 different levels of pressure to feel all the breast tissue. Light pressure is needed to feel the tissue closest to the skin; medium pressure to feel a little deeper; and firm pressure to feel the tissue closest to the chest and ribs. It is normal to feel a firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast, but you should tell your doctor if you feel anything else out of the ordinary. If you’re not sure how hard to press, talk with your doctor or nurse. Use each pressure level to feel the breast tissue before moving on to the next spot. Move around the breast in an up and down pattern starting at an imaginary line drawn straight down your side from the underarm and moving across the breast to the middle of the chest bone (sternum or breastbone). Be sure to
In Support Of Cancer Awareness Karen & Steve Pritchett
check the entire breast area going down until you feel only ribs and up to the neck or collar bone (clavicle). There is some evidence to suggest that the up-and-down pattern (sometimes called the vertical pattern) is the most effective pattern for covering the entire breast without missing any breast tissue. Repeat the exam on your left breast, putting your left arm behind your head and using the finger pads of your right hand to do the exam. While standing in front of a mirror with your hands pressing firmly down on your hips, look at your breasts for any changes of size, shape, contour, or dimpling, or redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast skin. (The pressing down on the hips position contracts the chest wall muscles and enhances any breast changes.) Examine each underarm while sitting up or standing and with your arm only slightly raised so you can easily feel in this area. Raising your arm straight up tightens the tissue in this area and makes it harder to examine. This procedure for doing breast self-exam is different from previous recommendations. These changes represent an extensive review of the medical literature and input from an expert advisory group. There is evidence that this position (lying down), the area felt, pattern of coverage of the breast, and use of different amounts of pressure increase a woman’s ability to find abnormal areas.

ceremony. “We are sure she is continuing to smile down right now, beaming at your thoughtfulness for awarding her for, in reality, what she simply perceived as the proper way to act in the business world.” Alcott renamed the newspaper’s conference room in honor of Goss, and the paper also started a scholarship foundation to further the challenge she regularly posed: “What would you do better?” Goss’s question wasn’t suggestive of any slacking or wrongdoing, but was meant to encourage introspection and personal improvement. The annual scholarship requires Decatur High School seniors to answer that same question. The winning essay receives $500 to help the student pursue higher education. The money can be used for any expenses. “Mary Lou, even in death, continues to give,” Alcott wrote in the acceptance speech. The scholarship is managed by a board of directors, many of whom are current Mirror employees. The foundation has enough money to provide the annual scholarship for five or six years, though Alcott hopes to build a reserve of 10 years, he said. Donations can be sent to the Mary Louise Goss Educational Scholarship Fund c/o Federal Way Mirror, 31919 1st Ave S., Suite 101, Federal Way, WA 98003.

Woman walks, raises money for cancer research BY ALISA GRAMANN
For the Mirror
W
hen Lisa Lewis’s friend told her about Alex’s Lemonade Stand Childhood Cancer Foundation five months ago, she’d never heard of it. But once the opportunity to walk in support of a cure for cancer was presented, Lewis decided she wanted to walk 120 miles and raise $400 in support of her 12-year-old nephew. Alex’s Lemonade Stand was started by Alex Scott in 2000, when she was 4 years old. The girl was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to raise money to find a cure. The mission — to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer treatment and cure research — was continued on by others. Each year during the month of September, national childhood cancer

awareness month, the foundation hosts Alex’s Million Mile – Run. Walk. Ride., encouraging people nationwide to help walk one million miles to raise awareness for childhood cancer. Lewis decided also to participate in the Susan G. Komen three-day event in Seattle, which started her out with 60 miles. She decided to make a personal goal of reaching 120 miles in the month of September, she said. She exceeded her goal by a few miles. “Probably the best moment I had in September was when I crossed the finish line for the Susan G. Komen three-day event in Seattle,” Lewis said. “It meant I walked 60 miles for two incredibly worthy causes, and gelled in my mind that I really could walk 120 miles in one month.” Lewis’s team, spread across the U.S., also had a goal to raise $400 to help
fund a day of childhood cancer research. The team exceeded the goal by $5. Though the team couldn’t physically walk together, they were still able to join together to support their cause, Lewis said. Participants set their own goals and have the whole month of September to meet them. Miles logged in workouts, recreational walks, runs or rides or even other events can be also counted toward the million miles. “It’s a very easy event to participate in,” Lewis said. The event is important to Lewis because her family has a history with cancer and since her nephew was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that often develops around the age kids enter puberty. It is the most common type of bone cancer, and sixth most common cancer in children, according to kidshealth.org. “It was important to me to fund a day of cancer research,” Lewis said. She made personal donations both in general to the foundation, as well as specific donations toward osteosarcoma research, she said. Though the work is national, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation isn’t as well-known as other can-

They provide doctors with a 3D image of the breast and a view of the different layers within the breast. For women under 50 and women with dense breast tissue, 3D mammography can be especially useful. But 2D and 3D mammography are both effective ways for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.

Death rates from breast cancer have declined since 1989, with the decrease believed to be the result of earlier detection of the cancer. Annual breast health screenings can help detect breast cancer early on, before the cancerous cells spread to other parts of the body. Breast health screenings have come a long way.

too small to detect by selfexamination. If a mammogram shows an abnormality, you may be called in to have a second mammogram or to have a biopsy. If breast cancer is detected early, before the cancerous cells have the opportunity to spread to other parts of the body, and treated in a timely manner, the five-year survival rate of breast cancer is 98 percent. Women age 20 to 39 aren’t recommended to have yearly mammograms unless other non-age-related factors are present, such as a history of breast or ovarian cancer in the family. However, monthly breast self-examinations are recommended by the American Cancer Society and by CHI Franciscan Health for women ages 20 and up. Even

if you don’t follow a specific way to self-examine your breasts, becoming familiar with what feels and looks normal for you and knowing what doesn’t seem right for yourself can be helpful. All women are at risk for breast cancer; however, there are things that can put women at higher risk for it: • A personal history of breast or ovarian cancer • A family history of breast or ovarian cancer • An abnormal breast biopsy • Radiation therapy to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30 • Having three or more relatives with breast cancer October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and a great time to begin, or continue, your regular

HOW CANCER SPREADS
Cancer cells often travel to other parts of the body where they can grow and form new tumors. This happens when the cancer cells get into the body’s bloodstream or lymph vessels. The process of cancer spreading is called metastasis. No matter where a cancer may spread, it’s always named based on the place where it started. For example, colon cancer that has spread to the liver is called metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer. In this case, cancer cells taken from the liver would be the same as those in the colon. They would be treated in the same ways too.
HOW CANCERS DIFFER
Different types of cancer can behave very differently. For instance, lung cancer and skin cancer are very different diseases. They grow at different rates and respond to different treatments. This is why people with cancer need treatment that’s aimed at their kind of cancer.

it directs all its actions. In a normal cell, when DNA is damaged the cell either repairs the damage or dies. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired, but the cell doesn’t die like it should. Instead, the cell goes on making new cells that the body doesn’t need. These new cells all have the same damaged DNA as the first abnormal cell does. People can inherit abnormal DNA (it’s passed on from their parents), but most often DNA damage is caused by mistakes that happen while the normal cell is reproducing or by something in the environment. Sometimes the cause of the DNA damage may be something obvious like cigarette smoking or sun exposure. But it’s rare to know exactly what caused any one person’s cancer. In most cases, the cancer cells form a tumor. Over time, the tumors can replace normal tissue, crowd it, or push it aside. Some cancers, like leukemia, rarely form tumors. Instead, these cancer cells involve the blood and blood-forming organs and circulate through other tissues where they grow.

In my mind, the diagnosis was one of the worst I could have received because of the high reoccurrence rate. Because there is no targeted therapy with triple negative breast cancer, trying to find information at the beginning was scary, with online message boards and forums offering little in terms of positive news. That is why I am lucky to have a wonderful circle of friends. They reached out to me and were there with meals, helping with my kids, offering to accompany me when I had chemotherapy, sitting by my bed for hours while I was stuck in the hospital and helping my husband get our kids from soccer

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.
