ep. Roger Freeman has died at the age of 48. According to a Franciscan media relations manager, Freeman passed away at 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way. He had been in the hospital since Tuesday night. Freeman (D-Federal Way) was running for representative Position 2 in the 30th Legislative District against Jack Dovey (R-Federal Way). In April 2013, Freeman disclosed he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and that doctors said the cancer had spread to his liver and his lower lungs. At that time, he endured three chemotherapy sessions with nine more to go. “Roger was a dear friend and colleague,” said Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell. “We worked together as lawyers, as City Council members and in our current roles. He was a true champion, an advocate for everyone and this community has suffered a great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.” City officials said staff is mourning the death of Freeman, who was a former Federal Way City Council member. Officials said the mayor has ordered flags at city facilities and the new 60-foot flagpole at South 320th Street be flown at half-staff to honor him. Freeman began representing

Staff at Life Care Center in Federal Way have stepped up to help a coworker in need. Christine Alcala has been out of work for two weeks watching over her 15-year-old daughter who lies in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. Her daughter, Juzreel Alcala, was hit by a Federal Way Public Schools bus in front of Federal Way High School Oct. 16. Juzreel was in the crosswalk at South 308th and Pacific Highway South when she was hit, according to police. The district is investigating the incident and the bus driver was placed on administrative leave during the course of the investigation. Federal Way police are investigating the incident and examining all evidence, including details from the bus, video from the street and witness statements, according to Cathy Schrock, police spokeswoman. “Right now there is no obvious fault of the driver or pedestrian,” Shrock said in an email following the accident. “The only question to answer is who had the right of way and this will not be determined until all the evidence can be until all the evidence can be [ more BUS, page 3 ]
Man crashes vehicle into home, truck BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
A man went to St. Francis Hospital after crashing his vehicle into a house and a SUV.
The crash occurred at around 1:55 p.m. Monday in the 2700 block of Southwest 337th St. in Federal Way. South King Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Chuck Kahler said the man looked to be in his 40s. He clipped the corner as he turned onto South-
west 337th Street and crashed into a one-story single family house and a parked truck. It appears the driver suffered a serious medical condition, the suspected cause of the crash. Kahler said the man was found not breathing and without a pulse but after 30 minutes of aid
his heart started beating again. Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman for the Federal Way Police Department, said the department would not launch a major accident investigation because it was a medical incident. The homeowners have since been notified.

examined.” “Hospital staff are unaware of what her exact injuries are because she is sedated right now,” said Danni Orne, executive director at Life Care Center. “We won’t know for a month minimum of what damage has been done. Life Care Center staff put together a GoFundMe page for the Alcala’s, which is a do-it-yourself fundraising website to raise money online. So far, they have raised approximately $3,700 of their $50,000 goal. They are also putting on a benefit concert from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Nov. 7 at Lolli’s Broiler and Pub. “We are coming together to make things happen for them,” Orne said. “The event is open for anyone that wants to come and the venue is even open to minors at a specific time so that Juzreel’s high school friends can be there too.” Donations for a raffle are sponsored by Cakes are Fun Grocery Outlet, Jimmy Mac’s Roadhouse, Marlene’s Market, Mary
Kay, Poverty Bay Cafe, RJays, Sub Zero and IHOP. Local artists Ghost Tribe Fires, Jordan Biggs and Rachelle of Dr. Luna will perform at the benefit. “It’s been really hard to watch your coworker and your friend go through something like this,” Orne said. “Getting together to help makes us feel better.” The Alcala’s also received help from other community members. Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell and police Chief Andy Hwang drove to Harborview Medical Center on Monday and delivered a care package to the girl’s family. “We did so because we just have heartfelt concern and best wishes for the family and we wanted to show support for the family,” Ferrell said. “This is a really tragic situation and when something like this happens, I think it’s important for the family to know that City Hall and our entire community stand beside them and wish their daughter a speedy recovery.” Christine has worked as
an environmental services assistant at Life Care Center for six years. She has already used up her vacation and sick days. “Christine has no family here in Washington, so we are all she has,” Orne said. “We have been bringing food to the hospital and showing as much support as we can. A few of us have given her our sick and vacation days, but with her husband taking off work to be with their daughter too, it just won’t be enough for them to survive.” Juzreel has a younger brother attending a Federal Way school. His birthday is Oct. 29. “We asked him what he was going to do for his birthday and he said that he just wanted to be in the hospital with his sister,” Orne said. “We thought it would be neat to get a basket together and get him a present.” Lolli’s Broiler and Pub is located at 32925 First Ave S. in Federal Way. To donate, visit Juzreel’s GoFundMe page at www. gofundme.com/fysuc0 or call Orne at 253-946-2273.

arlier this month, I stepped into another woman’s shoes and experienced what her life felt like leading up to her murder. Her name was Lena Petrovich. For about half an hour, I was Petrovich, a 23-year-old Ukranian. I fell in love with my pen pal’s “beautiful, thoughtful” letters — something right out of a romance novel. I could barely speak English when I came to the United States, so when my husband raped me, it was difficult to communicate with police, doctors and homeless shelter staff. Sometimes I went back to my husband after he beat me. But he quickly became angry and accused me of flirting with other men. On one particular Thanksgiving night, I made an effort not to put on any make-up. I didn’t want him to think that I was going out of my way to look nice for other men who were gathered for a dinner party. I did speak with one of his relatives and later, during our drive home, my husband yelled at me. I told him I didn’t want to ignore his relative and be rude. He shot me in the chest seven times. My experience was part of a role-playing workshop called In Her Shoes. The event was hosted by the Federal Way and Tukwila Municipal courts, The Supreme Court Gender and Justice Commission and St. Vincent de Paul Parish. A community education tool, In Her Shoes is designed for learning about domestic violence and its impacts on the community. Each participant during the event picked a card that included information on a particular domestic violence survivor or victim. As we roamed around the room at the St. Vincent de Paul Parish, selecting different cards for different scenarios, some of us were given Bandaids or slings to put on. Some of us [ more EDITOR, page 5 ] Carrie Rodriguez
Predictions for general election
As always, I have sought out the best advice possible to make my annual predictions of the winners in the key political races. However, since I’m too cheap to pay professionals, my experts this year were two guys standing on a corner with brown paper bags. I also asked for political guidance from Mr. Federal Way, however, he told me to mind my own business. The biggest unknown in any election is always turnout. At the beginning, Republicans seemed more energized to vote, but more people vote Democratic than Republican, so it isn’t just about getting your base voters to vote but more about getting independents that lean your way to also remember to cast their ballots. Who will do the best job of getting out the vote? It appears that all incumbent congressional representatives in this state will be re-elected. The open position in Yakima, with Doc Hastings’s retirement, has Dan Newhouse and Clint Didier as the finalists. Both are Republicans.
Newhouse is more moderate than Tea Partyleaning Didier and will get enough Republican votes, combined with Democratic votes to win the election. Nationally, the Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives and it looks like they could take the Senate as well. Closer to home there are several key Senate races that will decide control of the upper House. One of those is right here in Federal Way in the 30th District. In a hard fought battle, Republican Mark Miloscia seems like the winner over Democrat Shari Song. The race turned into allegations of carpetbagging against Song and charges of opposition to women’s rights against Miloscia. In other key Senate races, the Democrats would like to defeat one of their own because conservative Democrat Tim Sheldon in Mason County caucuses with the Republicans. He is being challenged by fellow Democrat, Irene Bowl[ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Superintendent responds to Marysville high school shooting Editor’s note: The Federal Way Public Schools interim Superintendent Sally McLean sent the following letter to local families on Friday, following the shootings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School that left two dead and four wounded: “This morning we learned of a shooting at a high school in Marysville. We do not yet know the details about the
circumstances, but we do know that this incident, like all shootings, is troubling. We struggle to understand why tragedies such as this occur. You may also wonder if our schools are prepared for such an event. Our district, and every building in the district, has an emergency preparedness plan. Our plans have been developed in coordination with the King County’s First Responder system and the state’s Department of Emergency Management. They are continually finessed as we learn from others’ experiences. We have been briefed by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, the governor’s office and emergency services. And we have practiced and trained to respond with confidence. Ultimately, the safety of our schools depends on all
of us. It will take all of us — parents, teachers, community members — working together. We want our children to develop the knowledge, skills, and encouragement to resolve conflicts in a nonviolent manner, using words instead of fists or weapons. Here’s one place we can start. Encourage your student to be part of the solution by practicing the 3 SAFE T’s: TELL - Emphasis to your student that “telling is not tattling” and encourage him or her to report weapons and other instances of campus crime, violence or bullying that threaten the schools’ environment. TALK - Explain that if he or she starts to feel unsafe at school, talk to a trusted adult. That person could be a teacher, parent, school counselor, or religious leader TIP – Studies show that
students who commit violent crimes at school share their thoughts with someone. Make sure your student knows that if they have information regarding a potentially dangerous situation, they should call or text the School Safety Tip Line, 253-945-7233 (SAFE). It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reports can be made anonymously if they choose. Finally, school guidance counselors remind us that as caring adults, we can make the difference for children between being overwhelmed by circumstances they cannot control and developing critical life-long emotional and coping skills. Here are a few suggestions for helping our children feel safe: • Turn off or monitor the television and other electronic devices. Endless
news programs are likely to heighten anxiety, and young children cannot distinguish between images on television and their personal reality. • Maintain a normal routine. • Stick to facts. Answer questions factually. • Remain calm and reassuring. Children take their cues from their parents and adults. • Be optimistic. • Be a good listener and observer. Pay attention to changes in behavior. • Take care of yourself. You are better able to help your students if you are coping well. If you are anxious or upset, your children are more likely to be so as well. As terrible and frightening as incidents like these are, they are rare. Schools remain a safe place for children. Parents should reach out to childrens’ school and request support, if needed.

ing, who led coming out of the primary. However, crossover Republican voters are likely to give Sheldon the victory. Senators Doug Erickson, R-Ferndale; Steve O’Ban, R-Tacoma; and Andy Hill, R-Redmond, all have been challenged by good Democratic candidates but seem likely to win re-election and keep the Republicans in control of the state Senate by a close margin. Another local race of interest is next door to the east in the 47th District, where incumbent Republican Senator and current floor leader Joe Fain appears headed to victory.
District awards FWHS construction contract FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Federal Way Public Schools board of directors voted Oct. 28 to award the contract for Federal Way High School construction to Spee West, a general contractor based in Edmonds. The company most re-
Next door to the north in the 33rd District, Democratic Senator Karen Keiser will be re-elected. One of the most exciting, controversial and unusual races ever is taking place for the Senate seat in the 31st where long-time lightning-rod incumbent Republican Senator Pam Roach is in the fight of her career against Republican house member Cathy Dahlquist. After almost 30 years in office, and past comebacks against long odds, this may be the time the combative Roach finally loses. Dahlquist should get enough crossover Democratic votes along with moderate
Republican votes to score the upset. The House of Representatives also has some interesting races this year. The two incumbent House members in the 47th District, Democrat Pat Sullivan and Republican Mark Hargrove are likely to win re-election. Sullivan is one of the leaders in the House and it was a surprise that his primary numbers were closer than expected. In the 30th District House races here in Federal Way, Republican incumbent Linda Kochmar appears headed for a comfortable win over firsttime candidate Greg Baruso,
a Democrat. The other race between the late Democratic incumbent Roger Freeman and Republican challenger Jack Dovey has been the closest local race since election season started. But it has only been in the last few weeks that the race has become controversial. Dovey’s business practices and Freeman’s health became big issues. While close, my prediction was that Freeman would win. His passing on Wednesday throws the race into question, although he could still win, as many voters have already cast their ballots. If Freeman wins, his seat would be filled by
appointment from a list of candidates provided by the local democratic organization. In the 33rd District, incumbent Democratic House members Tina Orwall and Mia Gregerson should win reelection. Democrats will retain control of the state House, and with a split Legislature, Gov. Jay Inslee’s job will continue to be difficult. The battle over guns, Initiative 594, which would add background checks to sales and transfers of guns at gun shows and between individuals, has led in polling throughout the election. Gun
cently successfully completed a complex high school rebuild for the Shoreline School District, Shorecrest High School, as well as a number of other school projects. The board voted 4-0 in favor of accepting the bid; board member Hiroshi Eto was not in attendance. Bids were opened and read aloud at the district Support Services Center on Oct. 21. In accordance with state law, the district awarded the contract to the
lowest qualified bidder. Six contractors presented a complete bid, with Spee West submitting the lowest bid. With selected alternates, the total amount awarded is $65,519,000. “We are very pleased with these bid results, as they are lower than the cost estimates prepared by the independent cost estimators, and will allow an adequate contingency as we move through construction over the next three
years,” Superintendent Sally McLean said.

[ EDITOR from page 4] were given flowers after our batterers wooed us back to them. The most challenging part about being a domestic violence survivor was navigating the different obstacles that women face, from language to transportation barriers. I reflected on those barriers at the end of my journey in Petrovich’s shoes, when I sat in an area labeled as a funeral home and held a candle alongside other “victims,” including Federal Way Deputy Mayor Jeanne
Burbidge. It’s not as simple as asking a woman to leave a man who hurts her. I also listened to Judge Dave Larson cite statistics, including that there were 1,245 domestic violencerelated crimes in Federal Way in 2012. But it’s difficult to sum up such a broad issue in one newspaper article. So next month, the Mirror will launch a domestic violence series, also entitled In Her Shoes. While

Mirror staff will interview survivors, local police and judges, as well as experts involved in treating offenders. I hope this series will shine a light on domestic violence and the families the issue impacts. I hope you will take a walk In Her Shoes to help prevent others from becoming domestic violence victims.
rights activists favor Initiative 591, which would undermine I-594. They recently changed their strategy from trying to defeat I-594 to just trying to pass I-591. If both pass, the issue goes to the Supreme Court where they think they have a better chance of winning than with the voters. You have heard the speeches, seen the hit pieces, looked at your mail and read the newspaper. Now it’s up to you.

Business rallies to help quadriplegic girl’s family BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com
F
or Halloween, 8-yearold McKenzie Harris will wear a blue dress like the character Elsa from Disney’s “Frozen.” The snowflake skirt her mother Sara Harris sewed will cover up her wheelchair and help her feel like other girls. These are the moments Sara Harris relishes after a New Year’s Day crash rendered her daughter paralyzed from her chest down earlier this year. “For the most part, she’s been pretty resilient,” she said of her daughter’s recovery during a phone interview. “But we have those down moments. She was talking about PE the other day and she got excited and said, ‘Mom, tomorrow’s PE,’ and then she began thinking about it and then said, ‘Oh, I guess I will have to watch them hula hoop.’” The most challenging thing for her is watching her daughter in bed, unable to move. “Like you can just see it in her eyes that she wants to be up and playing with [her brother], or anything like scratching her nose or giving me a hug. She can’t do any of that without assistance.” On a recent afternoon, McKenzie and her parents visited Keller Williams Puget Sound employees in Federal Way, who are rallying to help the Eatonville family buy a new van to transport McKenzie to doctors’ appointments. Keller Williams will host its fourth annual charity auction and community dinner, Diamonds and Denim, on Nov. 8 at Emerald Downs in Auburn. McKenzie sat in her
new wheelchair with a pink-flowered headband wrapped around a brace that keeps her head from moving around. Her smile showed two missing front teeth. Sara Harris began to tell their horrific story to a room of over 40 employees. “On the 31st of December — “ she paused and cried. “Doug and I went on a date, which we never do, and we took the kids to their cousins’ house. We didn’t want to drive at 2 in the morning with our kids on New Year’s Eve.” She and her husband Doug picked McKenzie and their then-3-year-old son Wyatt up, as well as their two nieces the next morning. Sara Harris drove alongside of her daughter and husband in the front seat; the other three children sat in the back. About 100 feet from their driveway, a truck swerved in their lane on State Route 7 and hit them head-on. “We didn’t really have a lot of time to swerve or anything,” Doug Harris said. “I was having a conversation with the kids about breakfast and taking down the Christmas tree and what not. Sarah was driving and all I heard was her saying, ‘Oh my God, Doug.’ By the time I looked up, he was already crossing the center lane.” All six were transported to various hospitals and it’s been a long recovery for the entire family. Doug Harris suffered from a head injury, a rib fracture and lost partial vision in one eye. His wife suffered a lumbar displacement, rib fractures, liver and spleen lacerations, among other injuries. But McKenzie’s traumatic brain injury kept her in the hospital for nearly five
months. During that time, she got a special visit from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and, on a separate visit, she got a near miss with Wilson and her favorite singer — Macklemore. Wilson was visiting Children’s Hospital with Macklemore when they passed McKenzie’s hospital room. However, the nurse sent the duo on their way as she figured McKenzie had already previously met Wilson and probably didn’t know who the singer was. “So I said, ‘We just missed Macklemore!’” Sara Harris recalls telling her daughter. “And she said, ‘Did he have his fur coat on?’” Now back at home, McKenzie requires 24-hour care that a nurse provides. She went back to school last month at Nelson Elementary and attends for two-anda-half hours per day. McKenzie cannot regulate her own temperature, something that Doug Harris finds most challenging as they constantly must watch her cheeks for signs that she is overheated. Her parents transport her three times a week from Eatonville in Pierce County to Seattle for physical therapy and counseling sessions in their older mini-van. It once broke down on their way to an appointment and an ambulance had to transport McKenzie back home. Sarah Harris noted that Graham Auto repaired the van and Keller Williams paid for the bill. “I just started crying and I’m so thankful,” she said of the company’s good will. “I don’t know how I’m ever going to repay everybody for everything they’ve done for us.” She said the family is

Cari Franklin, a Keller Williams realtor and chair of their auction committee, said the business chose McKenzie’s family to help when one of their agents brought the family to the committee’s attention.

teeth, pig tails, this darling little girl who’s not able to move much at all. That was heartbreaking.” She said the mom is not one to ask for help but was very thankful and appreciative. “That’s what makes it so nice too,” that nothing was expected. The Harris’s are also suffering financially, with medical bills topping $2.5 million. But everyone’s “prayers and positiveness” towards the family has helped them move forward, Sara Harris added. “Without them, we’d be in not as good a place as we are now.” The family embraces small signs of McKenzie’s recovery, including the movement in her right arm. Her mother pulls out a pink marker. “Ooh,” McKenzie said in a soft voice, smiling. “She does really well with her right arm and she’s starting to have more feelings down towards her legs,” her mother said as Keller Williams employees cheered McKenzie on, who drew on a piece of paper with the marker as her mother held her wrist. “As
long as we hold her wrist and move it for her, she can write.” There’s also a possibility that McKenzie may not need a ventillator in the future, Sara Harris said. Her diaphragm muscles aren’t strong enough for her to breath on her own fully and the weak muscles prevent her from speaking above a faint voice. Her mother hooks up a microphone so the audience can hear her speak. “Testing,” McKenzie said. “On my birthday we were supposed to go to American Girl but I was sick, so we went to Seattle for my appointment.” While there, she got a doll. “Zoey,” she said of her doll that sits in a wheelchair and looks just like her.

Seahawks roll out red carpet for Marysville-Pilchuck football team BY DAVID KRUEGER The Herald
I
n the wake of a tragedy, the Seattle Seahawks made Tuesday a very special occasion for Marysville-Pilchuck High School’s football team. The Tomahawks spent Tuesday afternoon practicing at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center — the Seattle Seahawks’ practice facility. Tuesday is generally the Seahawks day off, so head coach Pete Carroll invited Marysville-Pilchuck — and Oak Harbor — to practice at his team’s facility. Oak Harbor couldn’t make it. The Wildcats, who graciously gave the Tomahawks the Wesco 3A North title after the teams’ game was postponed last Friday because of a deadly shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High, hope to practice at the Seahawks’ facility at a future date. The Tomahawks, however, were able to bus down for what MarysvillePilchuck coach Brandon Carson called an exciting “field trip.” “The Seahawks really rolled out the red carpet for us and did a great job
of taking care of us today,” Carson said. “We’re really appreciative of them. It was really great. It was really helpful.” Carson said he reached out to the Seahawks, who quickly responded with the practice invitation. Then it was up to the MP players to accept. “I talked to my captains and asked if that was something they wanted to do,” Carson said. “They looked at me like, ‘Is that even a question?’” So, the Tomahawks held a two-hour practice at the Renton facility as they prepare for Friday night’s Wesco 3A championship against Meadowdale. “It was crazy! And upped our practice tempo!” Marysville-Pilchuck senior Austin Joyner said in a text. Carson said it was surprisingly easy for the team to remain focused in the home of the defending Super Bowl champions despite the Lombardi Trophy being housed in the same building. “Once we started practice, for the kids and the coaching staff, just being able to practice in the facility where the world
champions did, I think we had a great practice,” Carson said. “We got stuff done. We’re heading toward getting fully prepared for Meadowdale.” A few Seahawks players, including cornerback Richard Sherman, safety Earl Thomas and tackle Russell Okung, were on hand to greet the Tomahawks along with the Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll. “Our hearts just opened immediately to try to help in any way that we can,” Carroll said in his press conference on Monday. “... We hope that we can do whatever we can in our support, our fans’ support. “You feel so helpless, but we wish that we could do something to ease the pain of all of the people that have been troubled.” After Tuesday’s practice, the players took to social media to thank the Seahawks for the experience. “One of the best practices I’ve ever had,” senior running back JJ Valencia tweeted, along with a picture with former Seahawk wide receiver Sidney Rice. “So grateful for being able to practice in the VMAC

Ian Terry, the Herald with the team. #MPStrong.” “The 2nd best day of my life only behind winning the Super Bowl!!” Daryl Cerdino, a junior running back and linebacker, posted on Instagram. “Thank you @seahawks [for] letting us practice in the V-Mac. It means a lot to this team and community #MPstrong #GoHawks.” The trip came a day after Marysville-Pilchuck’s first practice since the shooting.
Carson said it helped lift his team’s spirit as it gets back to focusing on football and making a deep run in the postseason. “We were together today for close to six hours and that’s part of the healing process,” Carson said. “Just being together and riding the bus. Sharing in this experience together.” The Marysville-Pilchuck players and coaches thanked the Seahawks for
welcoming them to their practice facility, with Carson even getting a chance to talk with another head coach in Carroll. “I just thanked him profusely for what this means to us and our community,” Carson said. “He said, ‘No problem. Anything you need you know how to get a hold of us.’ He told the guys they’re thinking about them and they care about them.”
Seahawks to start rookie Coyle at middle linebacker against Raiders John Boyle
the team is at full strength. So when Wagner went down with a turf toe injury against Dallas, the Seahawks were able to move Wright from his usual spot at weakside linebacker to the middle, a place he has started in the past, and plug Smith into the starting lineup. But on Tuesday night, Coyle’s agent said via Twitter that his client will start against Oakland this weekend, and a day later Wright let it slip in an interview with Sports Radio 950 KJR that he is moving back to outside linebacker, both pretty strong indicators that the Seahawks are preparing to play without Smith this week.
MY TURN
Brock Coyle, an undrafted rookie out of Montana, is about to go from feel-good training camp story to starting middle linebacker for one of the NFL’s top teams. At least that’s the plan for now for the Seahawks, who are still missing starting middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, and now might also be without Malcolm Smith, who suffered a groin injury in Sunday’s win at Carolina. The Seahawks came into this season feeling like they had four starters for three spots at linebacker in the form of Wagner, K.J. Wright, Bruce Irvin and Smith, the Super Bowl MVP who isn’t a starter when
Wright’s interview happened after Pete Carroll’s Wednesday press conference, so the head coach did not comment on the linebacker situation other than to say they don’t yet know Smith’s status, but linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. confirmed after practice that Coyle is likely to start this week. “Well, it’s his position to lose,” Norton said. “He’s in there right now. He could mess it up with a bad week, we could change our mind, but we were pleasantly surprised with Brock and his performance this summer throughout camp, throughout the preseason — he stepped in when Bobby was out then, he’s going to do the same thing now. We know exactly
what we’re getting, and we’re very pleased with what we have. That’s why he’s here.” While Coyle has primarily been a special teams player this season, playing just eight snaps on defense, including three last week, he did play extensively with the first team in the preseason while Wagner was recovering from an hamstring injury, so Norton is confident in the rookie. “That’s why depth is so important,” Norton said. “Brock’s work that he had with Bobby out during the summer was very important. We know exactly what we’re getting. He’s a guy who we have a lot of faith in. He’s really tough, fast, smart, reliable, fast. He fits in really

well with K.J., they work really well together. He, K.J. and Bruce and a really good tandem.” As Norton notes, the base defense would likely be Wright, Coyle and Bruce Irvin. Presuming Smith is out, but that doesn’t mean others won’t be involved and most notably rookie Kevin Pierre-Louis, who played well while filling in for Smith on Sunday would also be the base defense. The Seahawks use Irvin as an end at times in pass rushing situations, and Carroll said they want to rotate as many players in as possible.

Todd Beamer swimmer makes record time at meet BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@fedwaymirror.com
T
odd Beamer High School junior Morgan Vance worked hard for three weeks to make league time in her 100 yard breaststroke and she finally made it, winning her event. Her previous best time was 1:27.65 and she beat it with a time of 1:26.78, dropping almost a full second, as well as getting under league time, which was 1:26.86. “We are all extremely proud of her and are excited to see her compete again,” said Jennifer Larsen, swim coach. Vance said reaching her goal felt really good. “I have been building up for that time pretty much
the whole season, so when I reached that goal, I got really excited,” she said. “I feel accomplished.” Vance first learned how to swim when she was 2 years old and starting competing at 5. “Swimming has always been a part of my life,” Vance said. “I like swimming better than any other sport, like running, because you don’t get sore, you don’t feel like you do if you run. But it gets me in great shape.” In addition to swimming, Vance also plays softball competitively. “I feel like playing two sports is a good idea because when I’m not swimming I am still working out hard and staying active through softball,” she said. Vance works all year to

keep her body strong for swimming. “I work out my arms a lot and work to improve my upper body strength for my breaststroke and things like that,” she said. “It’s all about doing what you can to drop those seconds.” In addition to breaststroke, Vance also competes in the 200 medley relay, the 100 meter freestyle and the 200 individual medley. She contributes her success this season to her 14 teammates. “We are all really close and it helps me when I am competing to know that my team is there for me, cheering me on,” she said. “During the match, I was really nervous and I heard them yelling for me and it made me calmer and just made me feel really good.”

Q&A with Mr. FW: Hard-hearted campaigners and Halloween spooks Q
: Mr. Federal Way, have you noticed the flag on South 320th Street is at half-staff? Why is that? A: Mr. Federal Way has noticed and the reason is that Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell has ordered flags at city facilities and the new 60-foot flagpole at South
320th Street be flown at half-staff to honor a special person and an influential man in Federal Way, Rep. Roger Freeman. Freeman passed away Wednesday morning at the age of 48 at St. Francis Hospital. Freeman told the public he was diagnosed
with stage 4 colon cancer and that it had spread to his liver and his lower lungs. Mr. Federal Way usually refrains from being sappy, but he must confess that watching Freeman bravely work and run for office while battling cancer made him respect and admire Free-

man. Freeman was running for representative Position 2 in the 30th Legislative District against Jack Dovey, and constantly promised the public his illness would not get in the way of him representing our city well. He fought cancer diligently and always seemed to remain in good spirits. Mr. Federal Way had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions and found him to be a kind and genuine person. Now that Freeman has passed, Mr. Federal Way wonders how the people that wrote snarky comments during his campaign feel now. Especially those that said he was “too sick” or “might die soon.” Talk about putting your foot in your mouth. And the beauty of it all is that those published comments are out there forever, for everyone to see. Will this cause the public to be nicer to candicates? Probably not. And how will challenger Dovey react now? While never shooting down his opponents health issues directly, Dovey did make a
few underhanded comments alluding to his cancer. In reaction to the allegations about his business dealings, Dovey made a comment about Freeman’s lack of door-belling, intended to hint toward Freeman’s health. Mr. Federal Way highly suspects that now Dovey will state that he and Freeman were BFFs . Nevertheless, Mr. Federal Way sends condolences to Freeman’s wife and children. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I’ve read many articles about how some parents in many states are worried their kids might come home with marijuana-infused candy after trick-or-treating this Halloween. Do you think parents in our city should be concerned? A: Mr. Federal Way wonders why people would waste their marijuana by giving it away to kids? You can’t go to Costco and buy a giant jar of pot for $15.99. Although it’s nice now for avid smokers to not have to fake anxiety or backaches to receive medicinal marijuana, Mr. Federal
Way thinks smokers will still consider it to be a nice “treat” for themselves. The issue of marijuanainfused candy for kids stemmed out of Colorado. On Jan. 1 the state legalized the sale of recreational pot, and foods like chocolates, mints and gummy bears infused with marijuana quickly became best-sellers, accounting for as much as 45 percent of sales at some pot shops. The candies are hard to tell apart from their non-infused counterparts, and that is why some people are worried. The Denver Police Department and a marijuana store owner teamed up to film a public service video about this. Mr. Federal Way thinks that if parents are worried, they should simply insist on eating a majority of their kids’ candy, then waiting 30-45 minutes or so before deciding if it’s acceptable for their children to eat the rest. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what are you going to be for Halloween? A: None of your business.

hen Bob Wroblewski retired from Weyerhaeuser in 2006, he didn’t take up traveling or any new hobbies. Instead, Wroblewski continued to dedicate perhaps as much as 70 percent of his time to working with some of Federal Way’s community service organizations. He serves on the boards for Federal Way’s Communities In Schools program, FUSION, Advancing Leadership and the MultiService Center. Wroblewski is also a human services commissioner for the city of Federal Way and has served as president of his homeowners association for 13 years. The rest of his time is spent reading, spending time with his wife and three grandchildren and enjoying sports.

Bob Wroblewski is the Mirror’s Citizen of the Month. Contributed photo many great volunteers, Wroblewski stands out to her for his work with several nonprofit organizations and his high level of commitment to all of them, she said. Wroblewski was one of the founders of the Education Foundation within the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, which eventually grew into Communities In Schools. That he has stuck with the program through the years is impressive, Oster said. “This is kind of a legacy
for him,” she said. Wroblewski and his wife moved from Indiana to North Carolina and finally ended up in Federal Way, where Weyerhaeuser asked him to represent the company in the Chamber of Commerce. This gave him opportunities to serve the community and grow connections
among other community volunteers. Wroblewski’s personal philosophy is that the health of a community can be seen in how resources are shared. “I think Federal Way has a big heart,” he said. Wroblewski was part of the Chamber’s committee that started Communities In Schools over 20 years ago. Five years ago the committee officially became affiliated with the nationwide dropout prevention program. Wroblewski has served as president several times, and currently serves as head of the fundraising committee. “We’re really having an impact, I think,” he said. Wroblewski helped found the Advancing Leadership program over 20 years ago to provide leadership opportunities for both high school ju-

working in a community,” he said. Helping community members who are disadvantaged or are facing hardships is a benefit to the community as a whole, helping to promote business and increase safety, he said. [ more CITIZEN, page 15 ]

For the Mirror
F
ederal Way political candidates are advertising ahead of the Nov. 4 general election. Below are fact checks on claims made by the 30th Legislative District candidates in their campaign literature. This list is intended to clarify both positive and negative claims made by candidates and campaign flyers from each political party and not necessarily label them as correct or incorrect. Although Rep. Roger Freeman is on the ballot, the Mirror did not include claims relating to his race as the candidate passed away on Wednesday.
SHARI SONG, SENATE
Claim: Shari Song was called a carpetbagger, which is a political candidate who seeks election where they have no local connections. This stems from the belief that she simply moved to Federal Way for political gain, to be elected, according to flyers put out by the Washington State Republican Party and political action committee Working Families. Clarification: Song said
she and her husband lived in Federal Way 28 years ago when they were first married in 1986. Her two sons attended Federal Way Public Schools and she was actively involved in a Korean church. Her real estate career began in Federal Way in 1993 and she led the city’s Diversity Commission. Song thinks being called a carpetbagger is an exaggeration because while she has moved to other places, she’s always kept strong ties in Federal Way. Furthermore, she doesn’t own a primary home at this time. “I own two small rental homes in Kent and Bellevue,” Song said. “When my kids graduated high school, we sold our primary home. Then when they needed to come back home, they moved to Bellevue. Our older son is still living with us.” Claim: “Song supports a state income tax. She wants to make it easier to raise taxes and she opposes our voter-approved twothirds requirement to raise taxes. Song supports higher property taxes, which makes homes more expensive for families and seniors,” states a pamphlet created by Working Families.
Clarification: Song denied all allegations and said she is fighting to lower taxes. “As a small business owner, I know how hard these last few years have been for everyone,” Song said. “One thing I will focus on is giving our local companies first chance to bid on state contracts. Our tax dollars should be creating good jobs in our state.”
MARK MILOSCIA, SENATE
Claim: Flyers paid for by the Friends of Shari Song and a Planned Parenthood flyer stated Miloscia is pro-life and would restrict access to most forms of contraception, specifically the pill. The Planned Parenthood flyer also said Miloscia would “make abortion illegal, even if the woman’s life is in danger and even after a rape.” Clarification: Miloscia agrees Song’s campaign ads are right in stating he’s prolife and he leans that way because of his Catholic beliefs, however, he doesn’t oppose abortion if the woman’s life is in danger. “I’m Catholic and the teachings that I follow are that all human life is precious and you don’t make the decision when you’re juggling between one person and an-
GREG BARUSO, POS. 1
LINDA KOCHMAR, POS. 1
Claim: “As a firefighter captain, he’s put the needs of others ahead of his own — saving lives and helping those in need,” according to a campaign flyer paid for by the Committee to Elect Greg Baruso. Clarification: The Port of Seattle Fire Department Human Resources confirmed that Baruso was employed
Claim: Some of these results she’s obtained include, “improve [sic] services to the most vulnerable in our community, including the homeless,” according to a campaign flyer paid for by the Citizens for Kochmar. Clarification: Kochmar is working with Auburn Youth Resources to try to create housing for homeless teens.

as a firefighter but could not provide more information. Baruso said this is his 29th year working as a firefighter and his 10th year working for the training division. “It’s my responsibility to stay up-to-date on the current training and to train folks to keep up with the current skills,” he said. Baruso stated he helps others outside of work too. “I’m never ‘off-duty,’” he said. “If I am not working but I see someone in need or a fire needs to be put out, I am there.” Claim: “On the Diversity Commission he’s promoted opportunity and has been an award winning community volunteer,” according to a campaign flyer paid for by the Committee to Elect Greg Baruso. Clarification: Jeri-Lynn Clark, the executive assistant with the city’s Diversity Commission confirmed Baruso’s time on the Commission and stated he has been the chair for the last two years. Baruso said he received an award for FireFighter of the Year in 1999 and he was named Volunteer of the Year in 2005 at the Northwest Burn Foundation. “Every day I live my life to keep people safe and protected,” he said.

other,” he said in a previous article from the Mirror. He also said Song was wrong in stating he’s against contraception, specifically the pill. “I’m obviously against abortion pills but other than that there’s really no issues,” he said. “I’ve never been on record saying I’m against the pill.” Claim: Miloscia claimed that he was a substitute teacher for Federal Way Public Schools. Yet many Democrats, including letter writers, have questioned his credentials as a substitute teacher and they’ve noted that he was an emergency substitute. Clarification: Federal Way Public Schools staff confirmed Miloscia was a substitute teacher in the district from December 2001 through August 2011. The Mirror requested public records regarding which school or schools Milsocia taught at, however those records will not be available until Nov. 7, after the general election. Miloscia said his goal was to serve on every school at every grade level. “I subbed for every high school and middle school and most elementary schools,” he said. “When you never turn down an assignment, you get called a lot.”
She said the city of Federal Way doesn’t have a Teen Drop-In Center, other than EX-3 and that the community needs a place for teenagers who have been kicked out of their homes to “have a place to go to shower, sleep and receive community services.” She has co-sponsored (with Rep. Tina Orwall, a Democrat) human trafficking legislation House Bill 1291, to provide funding to help victims of trafficking. There was also an amendment that authorized the state-wide human trafficking committee, as well as bills such as 1292 (vacating prostitution convictions). And she also supported all-day kindergarten and “Breakfast After the Bell.” Both bills will help working families with limited funds. Claim: Results on, “A package of incentives to bring more high-wage jobs to Federal Way,” according to a campaign flyer paid for by the Citizens for Kochmar. Clarification: Kochmar said she has “consistently requested for over a year now” that the city of Federal Way work with her office, the Chamber of Commerce, Highline College, University of Washington, Tacoma and St. Francis Hospital to create an Innovation Partnership Zone in medical clustering through the Department of Commerce. She said following her introduction of this idea to the CEO of Seattle Children’s Hospital and to the CEO of St. Francis, Children’s purchased the old Circuit City building by Costco and plans to open a clinic soon that will serve approximately 4,500 patients/ year, she said.
REPUBLICAN JACK DOVEY, POS. 2
Claim: “We elected him to the City Council and he helped build Celebration Park and create the Federal Way Police Department,” according to a campaign flyer paid and authorized by the Washington State Republican Party. Clarification: Dovey said he served on an action committee that helped bring the park to the city. Chris Carrel, a city spokesman, said the action committee was likely not a city-sponsored group and was formed in the early 1990s, therefore he couldn’t offer any further information about the committee. However, a 1995 Seattle Times article states Dovey was one of the founders of the Celebration Park Action Committee before he was elected to Council.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ FREEMAN from page 1] Way) said she was “so shocked” when she went to the hospital to see Freeman. “He was a wonderful man,” she said. “He had a beautiful heart and we’ll miss him terribly. He was a really good person and I think now is the time to pray for him and his family.” Kochmar said his wife and children are going to need a lot of support from friends, their church and the community. “[My husband passed away] when I was 36, and, having been through it, the first couple of weeks you’re in a whirlwind of activities and then after that everyone leaves and the wife is left alone and it’s traumatic,” she said. “Most of the time I felt I just wanted to die. It’s a very difficult time in your life.” Kochmar remembers Freeman’s
“sweet giving nature” and that he had “quite a sense of humor.” “There are certain issues he stood up for that were very important to him,” Kochmar said, adding that he believed in protecting foster children and the right to life. Sen. Tracey Eide (D-Federal Way) said the 30th Legislative District “lost a great man today.” “I’m heartsick and I feel for his family, his children and his wife,” Eide said. “He’s done a phenomenal job the last couple of years. He’s a very fine man and will be missed.” She said he tackled tough problems “without blinking” and he faced stressful challenges “without losing the positive, can-do attitude we came to count on from him.” King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer said in a statement that Freeman was a “man of deep faith and I know he is now with his Lord. I appreciated working with
Roger when he was a member of the Federal Way City Council and as a member of the Washington state Legislature. I especially respected his independent approach to public policy issues. My prayers and thoughts are with his wife, Sonya, his two children, his family and friends.” Mark Miloscia (R-Federal Way) said Freeman was a “courageous and faithful” friend whom he looked up to. “He and his wife Sonya are a model Christian family here in Federal Way,” Miloscia said. “No matter the difficulties he faced, even up to the very end, he was a joyful person full of love for the Lord and always thinking of those around him. He will be missed.” Federal Way City Councilwoman Susan Honda recalls working with Freeman on the Diversity Commission.
“He was instrumental in bringing the Martin Luther King celebration back,” she said. “We didn’t do it for a couple of years and he helped get funding for it … He has two teenage children and I can’t imagine what they’re going through right now.” Washington 30th District Democrats Chair Tim Burns said he’s worked on Freeman’s campaign since 2009 when Freeman ran for the Federal Way City Council. Although Burns said he’s still processing the news, he said the Democratic Party is going to need to take some official action but anticipated it wouldn’t be until later. According to Burns, in the case a legislator cannot fulfill his seat, all of the precinct committee officers are called to a special meeting where they select three candidates in ranked order. The names are submitted by the county organizations to the County Council in which
they choose one of those three people to fill the position. Because the 30th Legislative District overlaps Pierce County, both counties would have to come to an agreement on the candidate, Burns said. But because it’s right before election day, Nov. 4, they likely wouldn’t start until after the election and only if voters choose Freeman for the Position 2 seat. “As a legislator, he was passionate about social justice, strong families and educational opportunities for all,” House speaker Frank Chopp and Democratic Caucus Chair Eric Pettigrew wrote. “We will miss him greatly. Our focus in the coming days will be making sure his wife, Sonya, and their children are cared for. They are his greatest legacy.” To help Freeman’s family, donate at www.gofundme.com/rogerfreeman.

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

Despite the missing unit, the employee told police all the video surveillance footage from the location was uploaded to a central server and he would be able to access it that Monday. As the employee was speaking to police, a male and female approached them. The woman said they had found the DVD recorder laying in the roadway on South 310th Street as they were walking their dogs in the area. The DVD recorder appeared to be severely damaged as though a vehicle had run over it. Several of the wires were also cut in the back.
