Council approves $8.2 million purchase of downtown property Former-Target site to complete 21 acres of “Town Center” BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Federal Way City Council voted 6-1 on the $8.2 million purchase of the former Target property on Tuesday. The 7.48 acre space is one of four properties the city is proposing for “Town Center,” 21 acres that will make up the core of Federal Way’s downtown. The area is already home to Town Square Park, the Transit Center and the future Performing Arts and Conference Center. Several Council members echoed Mayor Jim Ferrell’s reasons for the purchase in that it will take away the city’s “blight,” revitalize the downtown and stimulate the economy. “I think this is a really smart thing to do,” said Councilman Martin Moore. “One of the reasons I ran
A 3D model of the potential plan for the 7.48 acre site where a Target once was. The city of Federal Way purchased the property on Tuesday for $8.2 million. Courtesy of the city of Federal Way for office is we need to do something with downtown. This will create jobs in the future … We’ve all seen it here for the last several years, the empty storefronts and that’s a concern I hear. I think by investing and being proactive and being smart and strategic about this, it will allow us to start moving in the direction of filling up our storefronts, investing in our downtown and providing jobs for our community and the people in here.” Scott Clark, a partner
with Clark Design Group, presented a hypothetical plan to show the potential of the site during the Council meeting, which included buildings 3-7 stories high with apartment or condos on top and commercial retail on the bottom. “You have the absolute luxury of opportunity” for the site, Clark told the Council, with the mayor adding it could also serve as a college branch campus.

woman with the Federal Way Police Department, said it appears the man was shot during a home invasion robbery in Lakewood and was “dumped” by his associates at the apartments at around 11 p.m. The Lakewood Police Department identified the suspect as Taijon Voorhees, 19. The apartments are located in the 2200 block of S. Star Lake Road in Federal Way.

Police initially received reports that a witness heard gunshots, looked outside and saw a person fall to the ground before a vehicle drove away. Voorhees received immediate aid from officers after they arrived but was pronounced dead at the scene. Lakewood Police say Voorhees is one of three male suspects from a home invasion robbery that
occurred in Lakewood around 9:34 p.m. that same night. Lakewood Police said they learned the identity of one of the other suspects because he confessed his involvement to the crime with a few people. Detectives also learned he previously served time at the Regional Justice Center on a Department of Corrections hold. He is now serving time at the Pierce
County Jail and expected to appear in court Nov. 27. The third suspect is still unknown. Lakewood police responded to a 911 call claiming a home invasion robbery occurred and shots were fired at a house in the 11000 block of Briar Road Southwest. The victims reported three black males knocked on their door and forced their way into the home.
One of the males had a handgun and another carried a knife. The husband was hit on the head with the gun and the wife was cut on the hand by the knife. They were then tied up as the suspects searched the house for valuables, according to a Lakewood Police report. When the suspects stepped outside, the husband freed himself and [ more SHOOTING, page 9 ]

PSE to share $59.2 million from sale FROM STAFF REPORTS
Puget Sound Energy announced this week “that customers will notice a pleasant surprise on their winter power bills: a one-time credit applied to December and January bills that will save the average residential electric customer about $40.” The bill credit is the mechanism to be used to distribute half of $109 million that resulted from the sale of the company’s util-
ity operations in Jefferson County, to all Puget Sound Energy customers. A Sept. 11 news release from the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission said that the company was ordered to credit customers after the utility had initially wanted to retain all but $15 million. The company proposed that that portion be “returned to customers as a ‘voluntary sharing’ for the proceeds of this sale.” However, that figure was contested by state regulators. The utility was ordered to return one-half of the sales proceeds plus interest, to customers via the bill credit mechanism.
The total amount to be paid to Puget Sound Energy customers is $59.2 million, which includes interest that has accrued since the sale was finalized in 2010. The distribution will include every current Puget Sound Energy electric customer. Customers will not need to request the credit; it will automatically appear on their billing statements. Because of varying billing cycles, most customers will see a portion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill. Puget Sound Energy provides electricity to more than 1.1 million customers in Washington.

Mayor’s Memo…
November 21, 2014 [3]
Welcome to Town Center - the Heart of Federal Way
The community’s Town Center vision became a reality this week with the City’s Jim Ferrell, acquisition of a Federal Way 7.48-acre parcel Mayor adjacent to the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) site. Together with Town Square Park, we now have 21 acres to create a sparkplug for growth and revitalization of Federal Way’s downtown. On behalf of the City Council, I want to thank everyone in the community who is encouraging and supporting our strategy to revitalize downtown Federal Way. The assembly of these properties – the new parcel, the PACC site, Transit Center property, and the Town Square Park – lays a cornerstone for achieving that strategy. Citizens tell us they dream of a thriving local economy with a great quality of life, and a place where families want to live, work, attend school, and play.
The 21-acre Town Center is the heart of a growing downtown – connecting the Town Square Park, PACC, and Transit Center with 8 acres of commercial, residential and public space opportunities.
Town Center will be the catalyst for an economic renaissance in the downtown that transforms the core of our city. We’ll actively recruit investors and new businesses, and we’ll work to retain existing businesses. We’ll create new
public spaces and smaller retail spaces along with arts and entertainment venues. There are, of course, many competing demands for scarce City financial resources. It is important to know that the financing plan for this acquisition assures that no City services will be affected and no taxes will be increased. It’s also important to know that the City is not in the business of buying or speculating randomly in land. Town Center is unique. City control of the Town Center parcels gives us – all of us as a community – the opportunity to create a catalyst for downtown revitalization – in a planned, coordinated, coherent manner. We expect there will be development, leases, financing and investment in the projects on the sites and elsewhere. Already, we are receiving encouraging inquiries from investors with interest in our plans. For years, citizens have asked: “When is downtown going to be revitalized?” The answer is now. Now is the time. We are taking bold action – and prudent risks – to make good things happen. As the Japanese proverb goes, “Vision without action is just a daydream”. We are taking action and we are charting our future. Acquisition of these parcels is the first step. We’re just getting started. We have a long way to go, much work to do. There will be opportunities for every citizen of Federal Way to play a role in realizing Town Center. I hope you join us on this exciting journey to the heart of Federal Way.

Questions about Town Center purchase
T
he Federal Way City Council voted on Tuesday to purchase the former Target property for $8.2 million. City officials expressed they are confident in the project’s future — whatever that may be — and expect the property will help spur economic development, along with other nearby key projects, including the Performing Arts and Conference Center. The purchase raises several questions, including: • What is the city really planning? • Is the issue control? • Is the city going to put in a parking lot near the Hylebos? Underground? • Why didn’t the city buy the property for $6 million? • Is a land swap planned to include Dumas Bay? • If the purpose of the Performing Arts and Conference Center is economic growth and there was a private sector buyer for the Target lot, why is the city buying it? • Does the city believe they can do a better job of development than the private sector? • Is the plan for the city to develop the site? If so, what is the total anticipated cost of development? • Is $8 million just the beginning? If not, then why is the city interfering with private sector development? • What is the investment plan for existing properties that are in need of repair, such as Dumas Bay? • What is the primary success metric for this investment? Return on investment? Appreciation of surrounding properties? Decreasing vacancy rates? Or is this an expense for community members to enjoy, like a park or community center? These are important questions that we need answers to. We invite Mayor Jim Ferrell and City Council members to provide the community with answers as the project moves forward.
In and outs of 30th District decision What do Carol Gregory, Shari Song, Greg Baruso, Roger Flygare, Richard Champion and Martin Moore have in common? First, they are all Democrats; second, they are the names mentioned most frequently as likely candidates to fill the legislative position won by the late Roger Freeman. The sad, but necessary, task of appointing a replacement for Freeman, who passed away just a few days before his successful re-election to a second term in the state House, has begun in earnest. The maneuvering has been going on for several weeks but until recently had remained discreetly behind the scenes. Democratic precinct committee persons, who are elected by fellow Democrats as “neighborhood” representatives, will meet Dec. 1 to vote on the candidates. But there have already been disagreements over when to have the
meeting and which group of precinct officers, old or recently elected, can vote on the candidates as the maneuvering to win the seat starts to unfold. Since there are only 37 precinct voters, 36 King County and one in Pierce County, every vote is important. However, the bigger stumbling block to the Democrats getting their best candidate appointed may be Republicans. The 30th District Democrats will recommend three names in preferential order to the County Council, who shall appoint one of the three to the post. However, since the 30th District includes part of Pierce County, the Pierce County Council, which has five Republicans and two Democrats, will join with the King County Council in making the appointment. The King County Council is by voter approval non-partisan. But their party affiliations look like five Democrats [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Keeping the PACC conversation positive I read Mr. Federal Way’s column in the Nov. 14 issue of the Federal Way Mirror with a great deal of interest and some trepidation. I hope I can clear up some misunderstandings and help bring about a positive consensus no matter what your position on the Performing Arts and Conference Center might be. I was the emcee for
Shindig! and as such I was not a performer (I should be so talented). I noticed that I did not see anyone from the Federal Way Mirror in the audience, so at one point I asked if there were any staff members present that I did not recognize. Hearing no response, I suggested that people might want to write to the Mirror so that we might be sure that the community became aware how successful and well attended the event was. I did not intend to imply that the Mirror had taken any stance for or against the Performing Arts and Conference Center, I merely wanted to be sure the event got some publicity after the fact. I do not recall Rob McPherson mentioning letters to the editor of the Federal Way Mirror, but if he did it was only after I made the suggestion first. Thank you for the articles
you printed about Shindig! prior to the event. I am sure you helped to fill the house. I am afraid Rob McPherson missed a wonderful opportunity to obtain some local publicity for himself if he did not follow through with the request to contact you, but I do know that his international performance schedule has kept him busy. For whatever it is worth, Rob would make a wonderful human interest Federal Way success story for you. He was raised in Federal Way by his grandmother, graduated from Federal Way High School after participating in their vocal music program, and has moved on to an operatic career that includes performances in Europe, Israel and around the United States. He is presently performing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. I would hope we can keep
the tone of the discussion about the Performing Arts and Conference Center positive regardless of anyone’s position concerning it. I am confident that both you and I feel that it is everyone’s business to make Federal Way a better place for future generations. Smiles are free and easy to give.
Jim Burbidge, Federal Way
Sellout crowd at Shindig The Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts would like to thank all who were part of the sellout crowd at Shindig! The performers were marvelous and it was so incredibly generous of them to donate their wonderful talents. Each of them, Robert McPherson, John B. Cooper, Maria Valen-
zuela, Dohee Kim, Leon Christiansen and their accompanist Glenda Williams provided something so special, it was definitely a night to remember and treasure. Imagine if we could have held it in our planned Performing Arts and Conference Center! Even more people could have enjoyed such great entertainment. The coalition hopes to raise $1 million toward construction. To date, we have raised over $673,000. The number of people contributing shows strong community support, which is important for some grant requests we are pursuing as well. For more information about the project, visit federalwaypacc.com or www. fwcpa.org. Many thanks again from the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts. We will start planning another event soon.

Q&A with Mr. FW: questionable city purchase and apartment crime Q
: Mr. Federal Way, I just read about the city paying $2 million more than the initial asking price for the Town Center property. What’s up with that? A: Mr. Federal Way is also scratching his head over this recent finding. The first thing Mr. Federal Way considers concerning is the city’s seeming lack of transparency in financial matters surrounding this property purchase. For those unaware, the Federal Way City Council voted Tuesday evening on an $8.2 million purchase of a 7.48 acre property, which will reside next to the proposed $32 million Performing Arts and Conference Center. However, the Commercial Brokers Association told the Mirror the owner of the former Target site was asking for $6-6.5 million only four-and-a-half months ago. On July 14, the status of the listing price changed to $8.5 million, a little over a month after the Council approved the Performing Arts and Conference Center. This seems a little fishy to Mr. Federal Way, who wonders if the city cut some kind of a deal with the previous property owner. Or did the property owner get wind of the city’s interest to buy the property and get someone to
[ ROEGNER from page 4]
and four Republicans. That would seem to suggest a nine-seven Republican voting majority of the two councils. However, that split into a high profile appointment such as this is likely to be highly political and fluid. The appointment will be good for one year and then the winner has to stand for election for the remaining year of Freeman’s two-year term. Technically there are two positions vacant. The first is the remainder of Freeman’s current term, which runs until the end of the year and the new term that Freeman was elected to, beginning in January. The Democrats will want the same person appointed to both positions, while the Republican County Council members may have other ideas. Despite the majority of the district being located in King County, each county will have three votes. Both counties will split their three votes equally among their council members. An adding machine that can accommodate tenths of votes will likely be nearby. If the council’s can’t agree, then the appointment is made by the governor. Now, if you think this whole process will be rational and everyone just “wants the best candidate,” then think again. The “best” candidate to Democrats is one strong enough to hold the seat in next year’s election when big, really big, money will be provided to the Republican candidate to try and defeat the appointee and cut the house Democratic margin.
The appointed Democrat, as a seated legislator, will be prohibited by law from raising money for their campaign while the Legislature is in session. The “best” candidate to Republican County Council members will be the one they think is the weakest and most beatable by whomever the Republican candidate is. And Republicans haven’t been waiting for Thanksgiving. They have been actively looking for candidates to run next year and planning strategy for the appointment process and the election. While the Democrats will want to have the appointment process done quickly, Republicans may be in no hurry to appoint another Democrat to office. Democrats do have choices. Gregory is one of two current elected officials who may be in the running. She is in her first year as a Federal Way school board member and is the chair. She has run for the Legislature twice, losing both times, before her election to her current position. If appointed, she may want to keep her school board job just in case she doesn’t win election to the legislative position next fall. However, that idea opens the door to political maneuvering. In the past, the public has reacted negatively to one person holding two offices, even for a short time. Republicans are more likely to put pressure on her to resign the school board so they could run someone for that position. However, Democrats may also consider requesting her to step down from the school board post
bid up the price? The fact that the city is playing realtor with the public’s money is also concerning. Mayor Jim Ferrell said the market was responsible for driving the price change and that the city didn’t have a serious conversation about the acquisition of this area until about seven weeks ago. You can bet Mr. Federal Way will be watching the city for any more red flags as they move forward on this project. Q: Mr. Federal Way, Crestview and Palisades apartment complexes seem to be in the news weekly for crimes being committed there. Residents are getting fed up with this. I hear many families talking about moving out of Federal Way because nothing is being done to stop this. Are the Federal Way police doing anything about this? A: Mr. Federal Way also noticed this and it made him think twice before attending a house party he was invited to recently at Palisades. He decided beautiful women and free whiskey were not worth a potential parking lot stabbing. So he stayed home. Just this week, it was suspected that a dead man was dumped in the parking lot of Crestview Apartments. Police believe the people responsible for dumping the body
called 911 before taking off. The dead man is supposedly involved in a robbery that occurred in Lakewood. The fact that these criminals thought of coming all the way from Tacoma to drop off a body at this specific complex is something Mr. Federal Way doesn’t want to ruminate on for long, but this fact further adds to the dire situation at these apartment complexes. The one thing to have faith in is the Federal Way Police Department. Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman for the police department, said the Crime Prevention Unit has an active relationship with most of Federal Way’s multi-family housing communities, including Crestview and Palisades. Schrock said the department directed extra emphasis as a result of several incidents that occurred in that area. Hopefully the police are successful in ending all the crime and violence occurring at these two complexes. Q: Mr. Federal Way, were you at the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce event held last Saturday? I saw someone eating half a chocolate cake and I thought it might be you. A: None of your business.
if it increases her chances of winning in the fall and because it gives Republican Council members a reason to not appoint her. Businesswoman Song developed a lot of contacts and name recognition in her recent losing race for the state Senate. She has a campaign team in place and knows the issues. She might be a stronger candidate as an incumbent than she was in the open Senate race. If not appointed she would be well positioned to jump in the race anyway. Baruso is a firefighter who also made valuable contacts in his first race for public office as he ran a losing race for the other House seat in the 30th District. Some insiders would rather see him run for the City Council. Business owner Flygare has experience in running for both the state Legislature and the City Council. He lost both times but has remained visible. He has been active in politics for a long time. He could be appealing to rank and file democrats. He has been working hard behind the scenes trying to line up votes. Champion holds a leadership position in the local Democratic organization and while he has not run for office, he has been a candidate for appointment to office. He was recently a finalist for a vacancy on the school board. Like Flygare, he has been doing a lot of the hard behind the scenes work courting voters. Moore has been Freeman’s assistant and is also just finishing his first year on the Federal Way City Council. However, Moore may be the most controver-
what if Moore switches parties and runs next fall as a Republican? This is political Democracy at work and it may not be pretty. But, if the Democrats goal of getting the most “electable” candidate appointed is realized then it has been effective. However, if the Republicans believe they have
sial option, as he has publicly supported Republican candidates, which might be appealing to Republican County Council members, but has angered many Democrats. Some believe he may be considering a switch in parties. Since the County Councils can choose any one of the three nominees, Democrats are likely to ask all candidates to support the No. 1 choice as voted on by the party. That might work, but recently in a nearby district, it didn’t and there are still hard feelings over it that may affect how this election is handled. Who will the Democrats recommend and in what order? Who will the County Council members appoint and will they appoint a different person to the short and long terms? Will one or more of the Democrats who are not appointed run for the job in the fall election anyway? Who will the Republicans recruit as a candidate? And

appointed the weakest candidate, then they will have been successful. But only one party can actually achieve their goal.

Todd Beamer takes playoff victory; loses to Gonzaga Prep BY AARON LOMMERS The Herald
T
odd Beamer High School’s offense managed to run just 13 plays after halftime, but it proved to be enough for the Titans to get their first playoff victory, 17-13 over Kamiak in a 4A Quad-District game on Nov. 7. The victory moved Todd Beamer into the state playoffs while ending Kamiak’s season. But the Beamer Titans football team lost Saturday’s away playoff game against Gonzaga Prep by a score of 23-0. The Titans rolled to the district victory with the same philosophy that has led to their success all season. “Running the ball and playing defense,” Todd Beamer head coach Darren McKay said. “That’s what we’ve done all year long. I think we came in No. 5 or 6 in 4A for fewest points allowed and we were No. 1 for a couple of weeks there.” Trailing by four, Kamiak had an opportunity to take the lead in the fourth quarter, but the Knights’ drive stalled on the Titans’ 27-yard line with 5:34 to play in the game. Kamiak’s offense never touched the ball again. Behind junior Andrew Tofaeono and senior Chris
Kamiak quarterback Tyler Becker barely escape the pass rush of a Todd Beamer defender in a playoff game on Nov. 7 at Goddard Stadium in Everett. The Knights lost 17-13. Kevin Clark, The Herald Fa’amalele, the Titans were able to get two first downs and run out the clock. Tofaeono finished with 21 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown. Fa’amalele had nine carries for 55 yards, but made the biggest play of the night rushing for 24 yards on a 3rd-and-16 play with under two minutes remaining that sealed the victory. “They do such a good job running the football and they’re so big up front that we had to take our opportu-
nities to score when we had the ball and we stumbled a few times,” Kamiak head coach Dan Mack said. “I thought overall our kids played with a lot of heart and a lot of determination, we just came up a little short tonight.” Things started well for the Knights, who forced the Titans into a three-and-out on Todd Beamer’s first possession of the game. Offensively, Kamiak had little trouble moving the ball on its first possession,
but after allowing a few big runs, the Titans’ defense clamped down on Jo Jo Binda Jr. and forced the Knights into a 4th-and-6 from the Todd Beamer 43-yard line. At that spot on the field, Kamiak head coach Dan Mack elected to go for it and take a shot down the field. Senior quarterback Tyler Becker’s pass was intercepted at the 10-yard line by Christian Stafford and returned to the 17. It wasn’t the first big play
Stafford made. Todd Beamer’s offense continued to struggle on its next possession, with the exception of a 57-yard run from junior Isaiah Lard on the second play off the drive. The Titans ran six more plays on the possession before settling for a 29-yard field goal by junior Sean Van Earwage to take a 3-0 lead. Kamiak was able to answer with an 11-play, 80yard drive that was capped off by Binda Jr. 19-yard touchdown to take a 7-3 lead over the Titans. It was the only time the Knights held the lead and it lasted less than two minutes. On the ensuing Todd Beamer drive, senior quarterback Taylor Davis completed his only pass of the game on a 3rd-and-10 from the Titans own 27yard line. Unfortunately for the Knights, Davis found Stafford for a 73-yard touchdown and the Titans regained the lead at 10-7. “Our guys were right there, he just out-athleted us on that one,” Mack said of Stafford’s catch. Todd Beamer forced a Kamiak punt and quickly got the ball back. The Titans milked more than nearly two-thirds of the second quarter marching 53 yards and scoring on a 1-yard [ more BEAMER, page 7 ]
Federal Way prepares for Newport after win over Union
The Eagles will face the Knights at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22 for their quarterfinal game at Newport High BY TERRENCE HILL For the Mirror
In their first game of the football season, Federal Way High School hosted the Union Titans at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The Eagles lost 34-27 after struggling in the second half. Last Friday, they avenged their seasonopening loss with a 23-14 win over Union. For the Eagles, revenge was not on their mind. They simply wanted to advance in the playoffs. The game was somewhat the opposite of the last game. Federal Way struggled to put points up in the first half and found themselves behind 14-10 late in the game.

The Titans didn’t gain a ton of yards, but they did control the tempo and time of possession in the first half. The second half was a different story. Kamiak ran 17 of the first 20 offensive plays after halftime. Becker found junior receiver Donte Hamilton for a 19-yard touchdown on the Knights’ second possession
of the half and after a missed extra point, trailed just 17-13. “In the third quarter we only got three snaps (on offense), and that’s not what we want because we want to keep (Becker) off the field,” McKay said. “He’s really gifted athlete.

Kamiak’s one chance to take the lead was foiled by an incompletion by Becker just off the fingertips of junior receiver Brock Merkley. “Losing some of our weapons…that changed the tempo a bit for us,” Mack said.

Character comes first for Decatur cheer team BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@fedwaymirror.com
T
he 19 girls on Decatur High School’s cheerleading squad are more than just pretty girls dancing in uniforms at school games. The cheer program requires them to read books on leadership, volunteer and strive to become wellrounded individuals. “To me, it’s always been so much more than just their talent; it’s about their character, leadership and integrity,” said Laurie Beaver, cheer coach. “And it’s about more than just high school, I want to prepare them for the real world. I want to give them the tools to go out there and be leaders and be strong women.” Beaver requires the girls to go out in the community to serve. In the past, the cheerleaders sang Christmas carols at a senior living center and this year they’ve done a pet food drive and are gearing up to do a sock drive. They also go to Federal Way elementary schools to volunteer at times. “It feels good to give
back,” said Maranda McGeough, senior. “I love working with the younger kids because often they will tell us they want to be cheerleaders when they are older, so I feel like I am inspiring them.” Unlike cheerleaders at most high schools, this team cheers for every sport at their school. “The reason we do it year round is because it is hard to break in a team for only one season,” Beaver said. “The girls and I start together, stay together and we become a family. I think this is the reason the program has stayed strong over the years.” The girls just finished cheering for football, golf, volleyball and soccer. This winter they will cheer for boys and girls basketball, gymnastics and wrestling. “We are one of the only squads around here that cheer for every game,” said Kayla Sanborn, senior. “Wrestling is actually my favorite sport to cheer for because it’s kind of cool that we are cheering for one individual person at a time instead of a whole team.”

Todd Beamer students’ awarded for pollution project FROM STAFF REPORTS
A group of 11th grade students at Todd Beamer High School was awarded an honorable mention and a $250 cash prize for their entry in the From the Bow Seat’s 2014 Ocean Awareness student contest.
For the past three years, From the Bow Seat’s annual contest has asked students to consider major ocean issues ranging from the plight of the right whale, to seabird restoration projects, to the role of forage fish. In 2014, students examined the causes and consequences of plastic pollution in our oceans. Projects ranged from essays and stories exploring the cause of plastic pollution to sculptures and
The Decatur cheer squad takes time out of practice recently to pose together. The girls practice for three hours, three times a week and cheer for every school sport. SARAH KEHOE, the Mirror The Decatur cheerleaders haven’t competed since 2011 when they won the state championship because of limited space and time. “They’d have to come in on a Saturday and practice for competition and I really want them to have a life outside of school and cheer,” Beaver said. “I think it’s important for them to be social and enjoy their high school years.” Beaver said it’s easy to get caught up in logistics instead of the love of cheer in the competition world. “In competition, they push you hard to be the best and to me the real job of a cheerleader is here in their school,” Beaver said. Beaver has strict requirements for a student to earn
a spot on the squad. Their grades and attendance must be up to par and they have to portray a positive attitude. “My philosophy in choosing who is on the team is that I will take heart over talent any day,” Beaver said. “Talent can be developed if they have the love for cheer and the right attitude, but a girl with talent that thinks she’s God’s gift to the team is poison. Good character takes people so much further.” Beaver said she’s proud of all her girls this year. “I love what I do when I have a team like this that is full of hard workers and girls that strive to become good people,” she said. “Who they become

dresses crafted completely out of discarded beach plastics. The student group comprised of Julia Ann Cook, Michelle Dong and Delcine Hackley made a project focused on sea turtles and plastic pollution in oceans. They created a mixed media mosaic that represented the detrimental effects of plastic in the oceans. “In preparation for our mosaic, we visited a handful of local reclamation stores in Seattle, Washington and purchased materials that support the recycling process,” the students wrote. “From the beginning, our goal was to represent every creature affected by ocean pollution and so we decided to use a sea turtle as the focal point. “Through our choice of mixed media using recycled tiles, plastics and glass, we hope to shine a new light on the destructive actions of human beings and provide motivation to become a catalyst
for positive change.” This year, From the Bow Seat, a national environmental education nonprofit, challenged students to consider the growing international problem of ocean plastic pollution through art, advocacy and essay projects. The nonprofit gave out more than $27,500 in prize money to students, teachers and schools. “Our goal is to engage students in issues facing the oceans,” said founder Linda Cabot. “We are working with students, teachers and other organizations to bring these issues to light through the integration of art and science. The Beamer students had also all participated in Jamie Sproul’s AP Environmental Science class. “After the AP Exam in early May, my students spend five weeks on a final project,” Sproul said. “I have designed this final project to be a service-
based project in which the students choose a topic we have learned about during the year. Last year, I had a few groups of students choose, as a part of their final project, to participate in a nationwide contest focused on awareness of ocean pollution. Although it is important for me that my students leave my class with an in-depth knowledge of environmental science, I think it is extremely important for them to also leave with the understanding that they can make a difference going into the future.” Through the contest, From the Bow Seat hopes to encourage STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education, which emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to learning and engaging students. The 2015 Ocean Awareness Contest will run through June 2015. Visit www.fromthebowseat.org for more information.

of the site isn’t set, the Council agenda packet says the project may include a new City Hall. “The city is in need of land for city purposes, which may include building a new City Hall (the ‘Project’),” according to the project’s description in the packet. “The City Council therefore finds that it is in the best interests of the city to carry out the project.” Ferrell said they’re not contemplating putting a City Hall there “at this point” and it’s premature to be talking about a City Hall. “We’re going to have a conversation in the future but we need to engage in the public,” he told the Mirror. “We’re not buying this property to put City Hall on it and that’s not the immediate purpose, there could be a branch campus, but City Hall is not what’s driving this conversation.” What is driving this conversation is the price tag. About four-and-a-half months ago, the owner of the former Target site was asking for about $6-6.5 million and had been since 2011, according to the Commercial Brokers Association. But on July 14, the status of the listing price changed to $8.5 million, a little over a month after the Federal Way City Council approved the Performing Arts and Conference Center. “To say the market drove the price is completely accurate,” Ferrell said in a recent interview. “The PACC is going to cost $32 million but the amount of money spent on the PACC and hotel will represent just shy of $60 million.” Although the city had been interested in the property for years, Ferrell said there wasn’t a serious conversation about the acquisition until about seven weeks ago.
“We were very concerned and worried about losing this opportunity because in real estate, for decades, the property in the downtown core has been tied up and you see really the bi-product of that — this is stifled growth in downtown,” Ferrell said. And the city may have lost that opportunity because Ferrell said there was another offer on the table. Another company offered former owner Byung C. Park, the president of Pal-Do Company Inc., $8 million and had already signed the Jim Ferrell papers, Ferrell said. Chief of Staff Brian Wilson said during the Council meeting the city requested a rescission of the offer after their real estate broker informed the city that a “firm offer” was on the table and the buyer had signed an agreement with Park. “That was a written offer that was signed and observed,” Wilson said about the rescission. While Ferrell couldn’t disclose what company made the other offer, he did say they didn’t have immediate plans to develop that property or on other property they own. To ensure the key piece of property didn’t sit idle for “10 to 12 years,” the city jumped at the opportunity, Ferrell said. “But we didn’t know that,” Councilwoman Susan Honda said in an interview, adding that she’ll be asking to see the rescission documents. “Maybe the guy was going to do that, maybe he wasn’t.” Honda cast the only “no” vote on the ordinance and said the rescission

seems “unusual” and has spoken to community members who feel the same. “All I can say is I haven’t seen anything written so I just have to trust … the mayor says it exists, it exists,” she said. Ferrell asserts the city did not pay for the rescission and that it was “completely between the seller and the potential buyer.” An agent with John L. Scott, the broker for the property, said there were actually three offers on the former Target site and one of the companies was a big, well known, prestigious company with assets worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Ferrell did confirm the company wasn’t interested in creating a downtown spa — the type of business the City Council banned in the downtown core at the same Council meeting the purchase was approved. Chris Carrel, the city spokesman, said the city will pay for the project with cash reserves before they are able to acquire an $8.5 million bond from Key Bank. From then on, they’ll be faced with paying the 1.51 percent interest rate for three years, which could be up to $385,050.

Estate, he said taking the time for ample input from the community is key. “This is going to set the course of direction for what our town will look and feel like,” Ferrell said. The city will publish a request for qualification for the development and consider temporary leasing to cover the interest cost. “I can see both pros and cons of purchasing this property,” Honda said at the meeting. “And my major concerns are we have some major commitments we have already made this year that cost quite a bit of money.” Honda said the city is still looking for money to fund the rest of the $32 million Performing Arts and Conference Center and a 4.4 acre site where the city wants to put a “world-class park.” Honda said she’s also had people ask her why the city would pay $8.2 million when the property was listed at $6 million in June and was appraised at the same amount by a third party the city hired. When asked why the city didn’t put an offer in for the property when Park was still asking for $6-6.5 million, Ferrell said it’s “easy to look in the rearview mirror and ask
why not do this, why not do that.” “We had just gone through a lengthy process of green lighting the Performing Arts and Conference Center,” he said. “You immediately pivot, and it would have a been a real premature decision and it really wasn’t until we realized that the Target property was in play and there was a potential it could be land banked.” Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge and Councilman Bob Celski agree the time to act was now. “This is a smart investment by the city,” Celski said in a news release. “This area of the city
suffers from blight and underutilized properties. Securing the site now provides an anchor for the new Town Center and builds momentum for future redevelopment opportunities in partnership with the private sector.” Ferrell said he’s confident in the future of this project, whatever that may be, because developers have seen Town Square Park and the investment in the Performing Arts and Conference Center as a “game changer” and “sparkplug” for the rest of the downtown core. “Where is Federal Way’s downtown?’ will no longer be a question,” Ferrell said.

Silver Lake Elementary – Sara Klaas, P.E. Specialist, has once again organized a walk-athon for the students, staff, and families. Students raised money for the PTA and had a lot of fun walking and running to accomplish their goal. Lakeland Elementary – Teacher Katie Weichert enabled her 4th grade students to connect with other cultures outside of Federal Way. She was inspired by her mother, Nancy Helm, who spent two weeks serving the people of Niger with free medical care through the Cure Hospitals program. Niger is the second poorest country in the world with over 80% of its land covered by the Sahara desert and nearly half of the population under 15. Students used the school library with assistance from clerk, Debra Ono. They read books, gathered facts, and asked questions; they gained new knowledge and wrote a letter to Mrs. Helm. Mrs. Helm will be the guest speaker next week visiting the class, sharing photos and stories, and answering questions. “My students were amazingly engaged during this research project and learning was made personal while broadening their world view.” Visit http://cure.org/hospitals for more information Todd Beamer H.S. – Jamie Sproul and her Environmental Science students are involved with a service-based project where the students select a topic to learn about during the year
with the goal of having a positive impact on the issue outside the classroom. Students might teach lessons at elementary schools, participate in trail clean-up and fundraise for different environmental issues. Last year, a few groups of students chose to participate in a nation-wide contest focused on ocean pollution awareness. One group won honorable mention for their mosaic art piece. “I want to make sure that when students leave my class they not only have an in-depth knowledge of environmental science but they understand they can make a difference in the future.” Teacher Mentor Hired – Retired ESP member, Mary Ellrodt a former Illahee staffer, has been hired by the district to support and mentor current employees. It is an awesome opportunity for new staff to learn from a talented, positive leader that has done the job well for many years.

Seahawks’ Wagner expects to play against Cardinals on Sunday he said, “It sucked,” watching from the sideline for five weeks. “I hate watching football when I can’t play, but I can play now, and I’m going to make some noise.” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Wagner might not be an every-down player if he gets back this week so as to ease his transition after more than a month off, but the linebacker wasn’t buying the idea of a limited role. “If I’m suited up and you see a 54 jersey, I’m playing,” Wagner said. “You’re not going to see me on the sidelines.” While an injury called “turf toe” may not sound that bad, it’s a very serious injury; one that at times can be season-ending — Max Unger missed 15 games after suffering a similar injury in 2010. “What I did was tore the ligament that connects my big toe to the ball of my foot, and I broke my SesaJohn Boyle

T
he Seattle Seahawks have played five games without Bobby Wagner, one of the most important players on their defense. But while that layoff was longer than the Seahawks or their middle linebacker would have liked, it could have been worse. When Wagner suffered a turf toe injury against Dallas, doctors told him it was likely an eightweek injury. But Wagner returned to practice Wednesday and it appears he has a good chance to be back in action this weekend for a big NFC West showdown with first-place Arizona. “I feel like I’m ready for the most part, all things considered,” Wagner said. “I’ve been running, I’ve been doing my best to stay in the best shape I can without actually being out there on the football field. I’m going to take this week one day at a time and play in the game.” Even if Wagner gets back this week ahead of schedule
moid bone,” Wagner said. Wagner didn’t have surgery, but doctors put a cast on his foot that curled his big toe down and at an angle that would allow the injury to heal. “How fun is that?” Wagner said sarcastically. And considering how serious Wagner’s injury was, it’s worth remembering that he finished the game after suffering the injury in the first half. Wagner got a shot to numb the injury and asked team doctors “if I go out there, can I do anymore damage.” Since the ligament was completely torn, their response was no, “because there’s nothing left to do damage to.” Wagner’s return doesn’t just mean the Seahawks will improve at middle linebacker, it also makes them better at weakside linebacker. K.J. Wright can go back to his natural position rather than fill in for Wagner in the middle, something he has done in three of the last five games (Brock Coyle has also played in Wagner’s place). “He’s coming back,”
Wright said. “Knowing Bobby, he’ll be back and be in the middle. I’m glad he’s back. He was definitely headed towards a Pro-Bowl year. … He goes back to the middle, I go back to the Will, everything is natural and fitting up the way it should.” Wagner’s likely return also means the Seahawks’ defense could be as healthy as it has been since the start of the season, with defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, who is out for the season with a torn hamstring, possibly being the only absence. “At this point we could start ten guys that started on defense early in the season,” Carroll said. “That’s about as good as we could hope for. We miss Mebane, but it’s still not a bad number if Bobby gets out there and (Byron Maxwell) and those guys are all back out, then we’re pretty fortunate in that regard so there’s an upside to that as well.”

Lemuel Jeanpierre could start at center against Cardinals JOHN BOYLE The Herald
The Seattle Seahawks signed Lemuel Jeanpierre on Tuesday. He could start Sunday. It’s likely Patrick Lewis starts at center this week in place of an injured Max
Unger. But Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he is open to the possibility of Jeanpierre winning the job. Jeanpierre, who started three games for the Seahawks last year, went on injured reserve with a neck
injury in September, then was released with an injury settlement. “We’ll see how Lem does and just let those two guys compete it out and see how it goes,” Carroll said. “I’m open to him playing this week. I have no problem
with that, it just depends on how he feels about it.”

Carroll said James Carpenter, who has missed two games with an ankle injury, has a good chance at returning this week, as does linebacker Brock Coyle,
who sat out last week with a gluteus injury. They were both limited in practice Wednesday, as were guard J.R. Sweezy (thigh) and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner. Not practicing Wednesday were Unger (knee/
ankle), cornerback Byron Maxwell (calf), running back Marshawn Lynch (back), linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (shoulder), defensive end Michael Bennett (rest) and defensive end Demarcus Dobbs (knee).

Seahawks visit Marysville Pilchuck; Lynch and Lockette return a wallet JOHN BOYLE The Herald
A handful of Seahawks players paid a visit to Marysville Pilchuck High School Tuesday, including Marshawn Lynch, Ricardo Lockette, Bobby Wagner and Luke Willson. But what might be more interesting than that visit was something else that
happened while the players were in town. This is how Seahawks fan Jason Lynch (no relation, at least not that we know of) told the story on Facebook: “Crazy! So I’m at the Shell station in Marysville. I’m getting in my car when I see a giant Mercedes van pull up playing music super loud. Marshawn Lynch jumps out and walks into the store.
I thought about asking for a picture but was in my work clothes and decided not to bother him. I leave to go pick up Junior.... What I didn’t know was that I dropped my wallet. When I got home about 10 minutes later my neighbor knocks on the door. She told me I would never guess who brought this to her.... I had no clue, but when she said
Marshawn Lynch I was shocked! I guess I was so distracted by the van pulling up that I dropped my wallet. My neighbor said Marshawn, Ricardo Lockette and a cameraman were headed to Marysville Pilchuck and decided to bring it to me on the way there. My neighbor tried asking for a pic but they politely refused and their only con-
cern was that I got my wallet back. I can’t thank them guys enough for bringing it back and for making my neighbor a very happy lady for getting to a chance to meet them.” Guess you could say Lynch is all about that Good Samaritan action, boss (sorry, that was bad. I’ll show myself out). On a related note—well,
related only in that it has to do with Lynch—read the recent column on the running back and what his halftime locker room absence might say about his future, online. Search: “‘Wear and tear’ will be major factor if Seahawks don’t bring Lynch back.”

Local artists draw up plan to build live art venue BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@fedwaymirror.com
I
t was three years ago when Matthew Johnson, 28, decided to stop working at minimum wage jobs that weren’t making him happy and focus solely on acting. “I had just come from making people laugh on stage to this job in the kitchen of a restaurant washing dishes and thinking about it made me start getting mad,” Johnson said. “I started yelling about it and my girlfriend said, ‘well, lets do something about it.’” Johnson and Lauren Scoville developed an idea to create a live venue designed to showcase all types of art and entertainment, including, comedy, theater, painting and photography. They want their venue to be a restaurant, bar and theater. “We want it to be a one-stop cultural hub for Federal Way residents,” Scoville said. “We want to display work from our local artists here in Federal Way, but also other areas such as Oregon, Idaho, Eastern Washington, Seattle and Tacoma. We want to expose

local talents to a newer market and create a popular hangout spot for college kids.” Johnson and Scoville said their venue would be the only business of its kind on this stretch of Pacific Highway and Interstate 5. “If you’ve been to The Commons mall you might have noticed our wide selection of corporate bar restaurants and movie theaters,” Johnson said. “There is not one establishment there that actually houses artistic expression and real entertainment; we want to end that drought.” So far, the couple has raised $450 from their fundraising page at RocketHub.com. They said they need around $100,000 to build a bar, restaurant and theater, but will move forward when they receive $15,000 to start building a bar and theater, then work up to their full dream. “We wanted the community to have the chance to support us so they could feel ownership of our place and feel an attachment to it,” Johnson said. “Our goal is to build from the ground up. With a loan from both SBA (Small Business Association) as well as local sources, we are hoping to open early next year.” They plan to use the facility to give back to the community as a thank you for
Matthew Johnson and Lauren Scoville hope to raise money for their art-centered restaurant, bar and theater to be located in Federal Way. They need at least $15,000 to get started. SARAH KEHOE, the Mirror helping them with funds. “We decided that each week all leftover, non-cooked food will be donated to local shelters as well as any clothing that sits on our shelves for more than six months,” Scoville said. “We want to be just as giving to our customers and community as they have been to us.” The venue will also be designed to give back to the artists they feature. “We can produce merchandise for our talent and artist on-site for a very little cost,” Scoville said. “Around 25 percent of the monthly revenue from these sales

will go to the artists.” Scoville and Johnson said they aspire to do this because of their own humble experience as artists. The two both tried working at corporate jobs to make a better living, but turned away to pursue their love of music and the arts. Scoville has loved theater all her life and acted in so many plays in high school that she received two letters. “I went to college and got a ‘real degree’ even though I really wanted to pursue music and the arts,” she said. “After a while I decided to pursue my true passion and started acting in local productions.” Scoville and Johnson met at Highline College where they both pursued music
and drama degrees. It was acting in a play that brought them closer. “It took a year for her to agree to go out with me,” Johnson said. “I had to just be her good friend for a while and show her I had the drive to make something of myself.” The two said they were not cut out for corporate life. “I have always been a questioner, always asked authority, ‘why,’” Johnson said. “This got me in trouble in school and at jobs, but I think it will be instrumental in helping me be a successful business owner.” Johnson and Scoville said the community needs to have more of an artistic presence.

Federal Way man connected to two armed robberies was arrested Nov. 17 after he barricaded himself in his apartment. A victim called Federal Way police around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday and stated a male had just approached him near the library on South 320th Street and said the man had a gun and tried to rob him of his wallet. The victim fled and called police. After taking this report, a

police officer said he saw a man matching the suspect’s description. This subject fled on foot through some woods, according to Cathy Schrock, civilian operation manager for the police department. “Then we received a call of a second robbery that had occurred in the same area approximately five minutes earlier where the suspect had his hand in his pocket stating he had a gun,” Schrock said. “He stole the victim’s cell phone.” The suspect descriptions matched a suspect that is
known to live in the area and had an active theft warrant. Police set a perimeter around the building located in the 400 block of South 321st Street and police dogs tracked the man from the robbery sites to the building. An officer went to the suspect’s apartment and saw the man in the window. Montages were shown to the victims and the suspect was positively identified by the victims. Police warned the man to exit the residence but he would not comply. Officers obtained a war-
rant for the suspect and the apartment. CIS detectives, SWAT and BDU responded to the scene. Police entered forcibly through the front door and took the suspect into custody without incident. The victim’s cell phone was recovered inside the apartment. The suspect also has a warrant for theft and he is a suspect in a recent aggravated assault against an elderly male. The man was booked into Score Jail and is awaiting filing of formal charges, according to Schrock.
A man is recovering from a gunshot wound after he attempted to sell an item to someone at a duplex, located at 33000 22nd Place South on Nov. 17. Officers responded to the listed location on a report of a possible gunshot victim. An anonymous caller stated she believed someone had been shot, but all involved parties fled the scene, according to Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman with the Federal Way Police Department. Officers surrounded the residence and called for the homeowners to exit the building. A female exited the residence and confirmed that her husband had been shot and was inside the residence. The husband was able to walk out of the house and confirmed that he had been shot in the back, according to police
reports. Police said the victim met a man as his residence to sell him a cellphone, but the suspect attempted to steal the phone and run away. The victim followed the suspect, caught up with him and the two men fought. The suspect fired several shots. One of the shots struck the victim in the back. Fire responded and eventually transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. The victim then called 911. He told police he was selling a cellphone, but interviews with other witnesses revealed that the sale was not of a cellphone but of a firearm, however, that was not confirmed by the victim, according to Schrock. Police say several witnesses and the victim are working with police to
identify suspects.

Movember movement raises awareness of men’s health Amy Johnson
com). This world-wide movement started in Australia back in 2003, in order to help fund men’s health projects, specifically promoting awareness about prostate cancer. One of the ideas behind this increasingly popular event is that, traditionally, guys feel pressure to be strong and invincible, so being aware of their health needs isn’t always seen as aligned with being cool, strong and manly. But too many men suffer from prostate cancer, testicular cancer, depression and other mental health issues and they wait too long to get help. What is Movember? Here are the rules:
1. Once signed up at movember.com, each “mo bro” must start with a clean shaven face. 2. For the entire month of November, each “mo bro” must grow and groom a moustache. 3. Don’t fake it. No beards, goatees or fake mustaches. 4. Use the power of the mustache to create conversations about men’s health, and raise funds for prostate cancer awareness and treatment, testicular cancer awareness and treatment and mental health awareness and treatment. 5. Each “mo bro” must conduct himself like a true gentleman. Yes, it’s well into November this year, but you can still help. Guys, start growing now. Challenge a group of friends to participate, or simply support someone who’s already doing the challenge. Talk about it and celebrate. For more ideas, visit www.movember.com.

e don’t usually talk about testicles and prostates in public, but this month, many guys are. Enter Movember (www.movember.

Federal Way school named School of Distinction for third consecutive FROM STAFF REPORTS
Thanks to outstanding and ongoing improvement in reading and math, TAF (Technology Access Foundation) Academy was named a School of Distinction of 2014, the Puget Sound Educational Service District recently announced. This marks the third consecutive year that TAF Academy has earned the honor. The School of Distinction award is given by the Center for Educational Effectiveness in partnership with the Association of Educational Service Districts, the Association of Washington School Principals, Washington Association of School Administrators, Washington State School Directors’ Association, and the Washington State Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. TAF Academy is a sixth through 12th grade public school with a mission to prepare every student for college and for life through a science, technology, engineering and

TAF Academy was started in 2008 with a partnership between the Federal Way Public School District and the Technology Access Foundation. Results are calculated using state test scores. TAF Academy was among 101 schools throughout the state to receive the award this year, 50 of which are part of the Puget Sound Educational Service District. “The School of Distinction award is reflective of our dedicated teachers, students and parents,” said TAF Academy Principal Paul Tytler. “TAF Academy has created a community of learners striving to do their best with the support of teachers and parents.

Domestic violence perpetrator speaks about abuse, treatment Panel, task force aim to prevent domestic violence through education and raising awareness CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com
Editor’s note: This is the final story in the Mirror’s In Her Shoes three-part series about domestic violence. amantha Cavin woke up in jail last year and couldn’t remember how she got there. Her friend later told her exactly what happened. Cavin, then 22, was drunk and got into an altercation with her boyfriend at their home. “I got mad and I took my head and head-butted him,” the Kent resident recalled. “My friend told me I went into the room and he was screaming for someone to help him and I took my cell phone that he had broken and hit him several times in the head with it. At the time, he was very scared.” Cavin said her boyfriend, who has cerebral palsy and is disabled, was bleeding from his head so she took him into the bathroom and began cleaning him up. “I apologized over and over again, ‘I didn’t mean to hurt you,’” she recalled. “Then I was handcuffed and went to jail.” Cavin was charged with domestic violence assault and a judge ordered her to complete 30 days of domestic violence treatment, attend a panel and do an alcohol assessment. She didn’t comply. So when she got into another altercation with her boyfriend on July 23, she was booked into jail for 16 days on her warrant for being non-compliant. “They said I needed to do everything I was supposed

this person for resisting control, according to the city’s website. She also teaches them non-violent ways of dealing with issues that triggered the violence and to confront their belief systems that justify and support violence. Hicks asks her clients what their goals are and to look at what the stress factors are in their lives. She said she is seeing a lot more financial burdens that are creating more stress in families. Social media has also created more forms of control for perpetrators through Facebook and texting. “When needs aren’t being met, people put their abuse towards others. We have them look at, why are you still angry? What are you holding onto? Resentment I think is big.” Cavin said she knew she was abusive — but she was scared to admit it, until she began treatment in August. “I was scared what people would think if they knew I treated somebody so low, it wasn’t even just physical abuse, it was verbal,” she said. “I belittled my boyfriend a lot. I made him feel he was stupid and I was better than him and if things didn’t go the way I wanted, it wasn’t good enough.” Cavin also learned that she intentionally set her boyfriend up for failure. “I knew he couldn’t do something, but I tried to make him do it anyway so I could start a fight. I’ve learned a lot of tools to let go of the little things and it’s helping my relationship tremendously. I wish I could’ve taken these classes sooner.” Cavin has learned to “bite my tongue, let it go and walk away,” when something is bothering her.

INSHOES HER
Am I in an abusive relationship?
How can I tell if I’m in an abusive relationship? Dating violence can be the physical or verbal abuse that happens between partners in a casual or serious dating relationship. Read through the following checklist to see if abuse is happening in your relationship. If you check three or more items, you might want to look at your relationship more carefully and find out more about teen dating violence. Do I fear the person I am going out with? Do I feel responsible for my boyfriend/girlfriend’s feelings and behaviors? Do I feel cut off from my friends and family? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend ever shake, grab, hit, pinch, hold me down and kick me? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend call me names, tell me I’m stupid or put me down? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend tell me how to dress? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend text me more than I like? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend question me a lot about where I am, who am I talking to and what I am doing during my day? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend check on me frequently? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend say it’s my fault when he/she hurts me? Do I give in easily to my boyfriend/girlfriend, because I am afraid to “upset” my boyfriend/girlfriend? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend use or threatens to use a weapon against me? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend force me to have sex against my will? Is my boyfriend/girlfriend really nice sometimes and really mean at other times (almost like having two different personalities)? Does my boyfriend/girlfriend drive crazy to scare me? Am I afraid to end the relationship because my boyfriend/girlfriend threatens to commit suicide, hurt me, or hurt my family? If three or more red flags appear on your quiz, please talk to someone about your relationship! This quiz is from the Federal Way Domestic Violence Task Force’s pamphlet “Dating Violence: A Resource and Information Guide for Teens.” She is currently separated from her boyfriend, who she has a 5-month-old son with who they share custody. Cavin is attending alcohol classes and Alcohol Anonymous meetings each week and is working hard to provide a better life for her son. “I don’t want my son to grow up and be like me and abuse a girl. I don’t want that. I’m not proud of anything that I’ve done in the past two years. I’m very ashamed. I’ve learned to take the guilt and forgive myself,” Cavin said, adding that treatment has changed her life.

Woman pleads guilty to kidnapping girls, attacking pregnant woman BY RAECHEL DAWSON
rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
A
50-year-old woman recently pleaded guilty to kidnapping two girls, assaulting a pregnant woman and stealing a family car in a Federal Way store parking lot last February. Natalie Merriam Hulme of Lakewood entered the guilty plea on Oct. 29 in front of King County Superior Court Judge Richard F. McDermott. State prosecutors are recommending Hulme serve 50 months — four years and two months — of jail time. McDermott is expected
to sentence Hulme on Nov. 21 for the two counts of second-degree kidnapping, attempted theft and theft of a motor vehicle, thirddegree assault and seconddegree malicious mischief charges. On the evening of Feb. 28, Hulme approached a woman in the parking lot of We Buy Gold, located in the 33600 block of Pacific Highway S. in Federal Way. The woman thought Hulme was trying to talk to her so she turned her truck’s engine off but left the keys in the ignition and got out. As she stepped closer, Hulme opened the store
door for the woman and asked if she was going in. But then Hulme stepped around the woman, ran towards the truck and quickly backed out of the parking lot with the woman’s two daughters inside. In a later interview with the 5-year-old daughter, she told police Hulme yelled “bad things” at her. Charging documents state Hulme screamed at the girl to get out of the vehicle as she was driving. The child told police she threatened to tear off her ears after dismembering her new toy zebra. Hulme told the girl to get out of the truck once in
Kent but she said she didn’t want to leave her 2-yearold sister with the “mean woman.” She left the truck with the girls inside near 2019 Meeker St. in Kent. The girls were alone until a “nice gentleman” came up to ask her if she was OK. Hulme had started to run up Meeker Street, pounding on windshields in an attempt to get into cars sitting in traffic. She opened a pregnant woman’s rear passenger door and climbed in the back seat and then into the front seat. “Hulme elbowed [the woman] in the stomach causing pain,” the

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Forcible rape: At 5:37 a.m. on Nov. 17 in the 2300 block of SW 336th St., a 15-year-old reported she was sexually assaulted by an unknown black male who she met at a party at the Pavilion Apartments. The girl reported the man offered to give her a ride home, but instead took her to a secluded place where he threatened to kill her and raped her in the back of his vehicle. Police contacted the suspect at his apartment, identified him and arrested him. Attempted suicide: At 5:38 p.m. on Nov. 17 in the 1700 block of SW 357th Court, officers were called to

check on a disabled resident who told his parents he wanted to kill himself after getting into a dispute with them regarding his cellphone. Police officers took the resident into custody because they reported they had reasonable cause to believe he was suffering from a mental disorder and presented an imminent likelihood of serious harm to others or himself. Woman finds husband dead: At 6:57 p.m. on Nov. 17 in the 900 block of SW Campus Drive, police responded to a call from a woman that said she found her husband unresponsive in her home. The woman said earlier in the day, her husband had fallen between the bedroom door and the bed and required assistance getting up. She said he had a history of liver problems due to alcohol, but he was not currently taking any medications. She told police he was seen at the American Lake veteran’s medical facility for care but he did not have a primary physician assigned. She

The victim related he feared for his safety, but refused to surrender his property. This victim also stated he did not personally see the suspect display a weapon. The victim said after he refused to release his belongings to the suspect, he fled the area on foot. Later that evening, a police officer noticed a man matching the description of the suspect, but the man fled. The officer reported he knew the identity of the suspect in this case upon viewing the robbery suspect in close proximity as he fled. The officer stated he recently investigated a robbery case involving a suspect associated with the West Green Condos. Officers responded to this apartment complex in an effort to locate the suspect.

said when she found him, he was sitting on the bed on the opposite side of the room from the door and slumped forward. She called 911 and the call receiver directed her to put him on the floor and begin CPR. She told police he was heavy for her and by the time she got him on the floor, the fire personnel arrived and determined he was deceased. Police reported there was a small amount of blood on his left arm and on his left nostril, as well as an abrasion on the top of his head. Customer attempts to shoplift: At 8:58 p.m. on Nov. 17 in the 33700 block of 21st Ave. SW, an unknown suspect attempted to shoplift a Sony Playstation 4 from Fred Meyer by trying to pull it from the employee’s hand and striking him in the face. Robbery suspect arrested: At 2:58 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 800 block of S. 320th St., police responded to a report of a robbery.

documents state. “Hulme climbed on [the woman’s] lap and started to push back on [her]. [The victim] became trapped between the seat and Hulme.” The woman was later taken to the hospital with abdominal pain after golfers from Riverbend golf course witnessed the assault and helped her out. The golfers then restrained Hulme until she was arrested by Kent police and taken to SCORE jail. Hulme was held on $200,000 bail and has a history of possession of stolen property, forgery and illegal drug felony convictions. She’s also been convicted of
a hit-and-run, third-degree theft, shoplifting, obstructing false charge/statements and failure to transfer a title. The guilty plea states Hulme has agreed to pay for all damages to the trucks she stole/attempted to steal, the medical expenses for the pregnant woman and costs associated with mailboxes she ruined on Pacific Highway during her getaway. She’s not to have contact with any of the victims and will be required to go through a drug and/or alcohol evaluation within 30 days of her release from prison.

She was transported to St. Francis Hospital for evaluation. Police are continuing to investigate. Involuntary committal: At 11:33 a.m. on Nov. 15 in the 31500 block of 28th Ave., a woman reported her son attempted to cut himself during an argument over a cellphone. When he was detained, police noticed small cut marks to the back of his neck and arms. He denied trying to harm himself and confessed he was not suicidal, but was addicted to meth and cuts himself when he is desperate for drugs.

Seattle Children’s Research Institute brings study to Federal Way schools BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@fedwaymirror.com
A
round 20 students from Mark Twain Elementary School walked from home to school instead of taking the bus two weeks ago. Federal Way City Councilman Martin Moore, Blitz from the Seahawks and parents came to walk alongside the students. The students agreed to participate in a fouryear study called Walking School Bus done by Seattle Children’s Research Institute. The purpose of the study is to learn about parent’s attitudes about their children walking
Police urge pedestrian safety after recent incidents FROM STAFF REPORTS
Pedestrian and bicycle safety are important to the city of Federal Way. To facilitate pedestrian mobility and safety throughout the city, efforts are continually made by providing proper engineering practices, continued law enforcement and proper guidance to pedestrians. Pedestrian safety is not a seasonal concern. However, during the months of September and October, Federal Way had three significant car versus pedestrian collisions, two fatal and one involving the critical injury of a high school student. In each of these cases, the pedestrian was within a crosswalk or crossing legally in an unmarked intersection. Police Chief Andy Hwang said, “Inattention is the leading cause of traffic collisions for drivers and pedestrians. People are far more likely to get hurt or killed in a traffic-related incident than any other way, yet it is quite often overlooked because driving a car is something most people
to school and to address injury and obesity prevention in children, explained Alan Waite, clinic research associate at Seattle Children’s. Walking School Bus has gained popularity in various parts of the nation and worldwide. They are also an integral part of Safe Routes to School Programs and are endorsed by city, state, federal and health authorities. “Walking School Bus has been around for a while and normally they are a volunteer run version of a carpool, where parents have worked out having a group of people walk kids to school and
walk them home at end of the day,” Waite said. “Most of these programs are in higher economic schools, so we wanted to also study how these programs could work at Title 1 schools where children are from low income homes.” Seattle Children’s plans to conduct the Walking School Bus every day at Mark Twain until the end of the year. They are also planning to start it at Lake Grove, Valhalla and Olympic View Elementary. “We reached out to ask Federal Way Public Schools to partner with us because we’d worked with Todd Beamer High School in the past and had a great
experience with them,” Waite said. The students seemed glad to participate in the study that morning. “They seemed excited, it was a cold, but sunny day,” He said. “We hope it will be a positive activity for the kids and it will make them want to be healthier and more active as well.” Seattle Children’s staff defined stops the children will make on their morning route each day, with the help of parent and Seattle Children’s volunteers. Lake Grove Elementary School started their Walking School Bus last Monday.
take for granted. We should be constantly scanning our surroundings and looking out for potential dangers whether you are driving or walking near traffic.” The city of Federal Way is concerned for citizens’ safety, both drivers and pedestrians/bicyclists. Officials urge residents to take the time to evaluate the risk in your family and take this opportunity to educate and plan to improve your safety. Following are some important safety tips to avoid pedestrian versus vehicle collisions: • Crosswalks and traffic signals do not guarantee that vehicles will stop. • The WALK symbol only means it is the pedestrian’s turn to cross the road, not that it is safe to cross. • Always look both right and left before starting to cross. Do not expect drivers to obey all traffic laws concerning pedestrians. • If you have not made eye contact with a driver that possesses a potential threat to your safety, assume that driver does not see you. • Avoid all things that distract you as a pedestrian or driver. That includes clothing that restricts your sight (hoodie), ear buds, cell phones, etc. • Be alert and consistently
watch for turning vehicles. Pay particular attention when crossing driveways (entering/exiting vehicles). • During hours of darkness, plan ahead and have a flashlight to improve your visibility. “Pedestrian and traffic safety is something we all need to be active participants in,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell. “It’s about watching out for our own safety as well as that of our students and neighbors so that everyone safely gets to where they’re going.” The city operates a number of programs to improve pedestrian and traffic safety. The Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program is designed to provide existing Federal Way residential neighborhoods with opportunities to control traffic speeds, reduce cut-through traffic and improve documented pedestrian and vehicular safety issues. This program is making a noticeable difference in many areas of the city,
officials said. For example, beginning in the summer of 2013, the city began installing additional safety enhancements in all school zones to raise driver awareness of the need to drive safely when school children are present. The upgrades include larger signs, locating speed warning signs to provide drivers with earlier warning, and variable speed limit signs to heighten driver awareness. The city is providing
Students from Mark Twain Elementary School walked from home to school instead of taking the bus last Wednesday morning, as part of a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute. Contributed photo safer pedestrian crossings of major roads through installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons across the city. Eighteen of these pedestrian crossing features have been installed over the past two years. Public Works will be installing another 18 beacon crossings in the next two years. The Federal Way Police Department continues its commitment to traffic and pedestrian safety through a number of initiatives, such
as the Nick and Derek Project, which concentrates on distracted driving, school zone safety and jaywalking emphasis/enforcement. To learn more about the Neighborhood Traffic Safety Program or to submit your application to improve your neighborhood, visit www. cityoffederalway.com/NT. There you will also find a detailed school zone safety brochure and pedestrian safety brochure that can be used as an education guide for family.

pet of the week Sterling is a 1-year-old spunky chihuahua who was found running on a busy street. He was thin and dirty and had been on his own for a while. Now he is safe and in need of a loving home. He loves to be with people and is a perfect lap warmer. He is great with other dogs and is curious about cats but would never hurt them. Sterling is easily entertained with small stuffed animals and loves to be engaged in play with toys, as well as on his own. He is good with kids who are big enough not to accidentally injure him. Sterling loves car rides and going for leashed walks and hikes outdoors. He is also very good in his crate at night.

unanimously approved the county’s 2015-2016 biennial budget this week. This budget includes over $10 million directed towards public health, community services and employment and education resources in Federal Way and South King County. “I am happy that South King County will benefit from the 2015-2016 budget,” said King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer, who represents South King County. “Federal Way is experiencing robust growth and these funds will continue to help our community and provide job training and educational services for our most vulnerable citizens.” “Our youth will benefit with the funds allocated for the Boys & Girls Club and funds for our local schools. Contracts with great local programs like FUSION, which provides transitional housing services to homeless families; Reach Out, which provides winter shelters and job training to those in need; and Valley Cities, which provides outpatient services to help residents with mental health issues and chemical dependency recover to their optimal health,” said von Reichbauer. “These funds will help empower those working to affect positive change in our community.” In addition to the funds allocated for community services and education resources, the Federal Way Public Health Clinic stands to receive $9.1 million over the biennium to continue its services.

Longtime Federal Way resident Clement "Clem" Joseph Gregurek passed away peacefully in Burien and went to be with the Lord on 11/19/2014; his wife, daughter and granddaughter were by his side. He is survived by his wife Sharon Gregurek of Federal Way; daughter, Jeanne Webster of Des Moines; grandchildren: Jill Payne of Federal Way, Glen White of Tacoma and Mark White of Lynnwood; 4 great grandsons: Jacob Wittman, Daniel Payne and Westin Payne of Federal Way and Dominic White of Tacoma. He is preceded in death by numerous siblings and his grandson, Adam Wittman. Clem was born in Texas as the 9th of 10 children to immigrants from Czechoslovakia. He joined the US Navy at 17 and served in the Korean War. He later spent his career at Boeing. Clem loved music, playing the guitar and fishing in Westport, the Green River, Puget Sound and hunting. He was a member of the Des Moines Yacht Club and St. Vincent Catholic church in Federal Way. Clem was well known in the community frequenting the old Top Foods, Trader Joe's and dinner every Saturday at McGrath's Fish House, most of the time with the whole family in tow and a glass of Merlot in hand. He was known for always having a good joke on hand and was very well liked, generous and a great listener. In his retirement he loved to travel, garden, watch old westerns, spend time with family and cook a great dinner. His sense of humor stayed with him until the end. We were all so lucky to have him in our life. A memorial service will be held for him on 11/21/2014 at Yahn and Son in Auburn,WA at 11:00 am with a graveside service at Gethsemane Cemetery thereafter.

The Federal Way Domestic Violence Task Force created this dating violence guide that was distributed to local schools and libraries last year. The guide helps students to determine if they are in an abusive relationship. Contributed photo
[ ABUSE from page 17] “first inkling” of what domestic violence is. As a mediator between couples, she would meet with parents going through custody battles at the courthouse when they exchanged their children. “So I saw the conflict and especially the hurt in the kids’ eyes,” she said. “Some were crying that they didn’t want to leave mom; some
were crying that they didn’t want to leave dad and I thought something’s got to be done, this is absolutely ridiculous.” She also noted one woman, who constantly hit her elderly husband with an umbrella. The court was next to the ferry terminal on Bainbridge Island, so one day ferry personnel approached her about the couple and asked what
they could do to about the violence. Schneider-Chance spoke with the prosecutor and they eventually charged the woman with domestic violence assault. She noted the elderly man would speak with her whenever he got a chance. “Finally one day I said, ‘Why did you allow her to do that to you.’ And he said, ‘You know, I was in the Navy and I cheated, so I feel worthy of her hitting me like this.’ That was his belief,” she recalled. When she later worked for the city of Fife, she got together with a group of counselors, court administrators and other professionals to try and tackle domestic violence. They were familiar with DUI panels, where people who were involved in DUIs come and speak to individuals who have been charged with DUIs. “I remember one gentleman had his leg broken off — he was his own victim — he’ll take off his cast and throw it on the table to make an impact,” she said. “I thought well maybe that would be an impact for domestic violence, so that’s how it began. We modeled the panel off of the DUI panels.” For two years, SchneiderChance advocated for courts to use the panel, speaking with judge associations about ordering perpetra-
tors to attend a domestic violence panel. “So because of that, judges here, particularly (Federal Way) judge David Larson, all the courts in the state of Washington, part of a convicted perpetrator’s sentence is to attend the Domestic Violence Impact Panel.” She stressed that the panel is not offered in lieu of counseling. Part of the stipulation for attending the panel is incarceration, so there’s an incentive to attend the panel, she noted. Perpetrators are charged a $35 fee to attend and that money all goes towards victims. The Federal Way Municipal Court holds the panel about twice per month in the courtroom, where a panel of domestic violence victims and perpetrators offer a real look into the issue. The presentations include graphic stories and images — including a dead baby in a crib — of domestic violence victims. She said one convicted perpetrator who attended the panel came up to her afterwards and said the panel should be a prerequisite for marriage. “I had another individual draw me a rose while he listened to the panel and he gave that to me. So we are making a difference, I know we are,” Schneider-Chance said. The Federal Way Domestic Violence Task Force, which she is involved in, is
also making a difference. The task force, created in 1999, consists of a group of professionals who represent the Federal Way Police Department, prosecutor’s office, local counselors, City Council officials and citizens who create a coordinated community response to domestic violence. Last year, the task force created a resource guide for teens to protect them from dating violence. The guide, which took them four years to produce, is now offered in every high school in the Federal Way school district and in local libraries. The goal of the pamphlet teaches students how to identify whether they are in a domestic violence situation, how to handle it and provides resources for assistance. “That’s where it starts,” she said of domestic violence. “Kids learn, what they see,
what they hear, that’s why it’s so important.” She said the mission of the task force is to educate the public what to look for with domestic violence and how to get help. Seeing the task force making a difference is what drives her. But it’s also seeing the victims of domestic violence. “Just seeing so many people hurt, particularly the kids,” she said, crying. “They’re so confused. Just the hurt. I know the world will never be completely 100 percent peaceful and loving … but that’s why I do it. We are helping. I truly, truly believe we are helping.”
