ormer Advancing Leadership Executive Director Teri Hickel filed with the Public Disclosure Commission as a Republican for the 30th Leg-

islative District, Position 2 seat on March 17.

And according to 30th Legislative District Republican Chairman Rob Barrans, she announced her bid at the District 30 Republicans meeting on March 19.

At the meeting, Barrans said she asked for their support.

Several former and current elected officials were in attendance, including Federal Way City Councilman Martin Moore who, according to Barrans, also made an announcement: He will

withdraw from the race.

Barrans said it wasn’t in his position to comment on Hickel’s or Moore’s decisions to run.

Neither Moore nor Hickel responded to the Mirror’s requests for comment.

However, Barrans confirmed

Hickel left on vacation last Friday and wouldn’t return until next week.

The position is currently occupied by Rep. Carol Gregory, D-Federal Way, and was filled after voters chose late Rep. Roger [ more SEAT, page 6 ]

Federal Way Public Schools officials introduced the top three superintendent finalists to the public this week to give them an opportunity to answer questions and engage in the community.

The finalists — current Interim Superintendent Sally McLean, Assistant Superintendent for the Renton School District Tammy Campbell and chief accountability officer for the Highline Public Schools Alan Spicciati — answered questions ranging from, “What would you do in your first 90 days as superintendent” to, “How will you create a culture of competent administrators” as the immigration population grows all over the world.

Consultant Ray and Associates was the search firm who contracted with the school district to find qualified applicants.

About 50 people attended the Wednesday meeting.

Here are some of the responses the candidates gave:

TAMMY CAMPBELL First 90 days as superintendent: “’You can’t speak to be understood unless you first seek to understand,’” she quoted an unknown speaker.

The first thing Campbell will do is be out in schools, listening and learning. But before she does, she will pull together a transition team who can give insight.

“And then I will talk to staff to ask what’s working, meet with different community groups, reach out to community voices that aren’t typically a part of district,” she said.

She will reach out to local officials and community groups to get a sense of current partnerships, and then talk to students about what works and doesn’t work for them.

“After doing all of that, I would then collect that information and share it out to our internal and external stakeholders and school board,” she said.

Federal Way moves forward with Town Square Park redesign, upgrades

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council recently approved the first design of Town Square Park presented by Parks Department officials at a recent council meeting.

The “30 percent” park design includes a larger lawn, a children’s play area, spray park, restrooms, basketball courts and a walking path — all encompassed in four acres for an estimated $1.5 million budget.

Parks Director John Hutton and Parks Deputy Director Steve Ikerd were directed to take on the project in February after Mayor Jim

Ferrell terminated contractor Nakano Associates because their designs for the park exceeded the city’s budget by about $1.7 million for a total of $3.4 million.

“I think the budget is important to us and it wasn’t obviously as important to them,” Hutton said about the switch, noting city staff plans on staying as close to the $1.5 million budget as possible.

“We understand that there’s a finite amount of dollars and we had to get as much as we could within the budget as possible.”

There’s currently $1.585 million in the downtown redevelopment fund, the only source of funds for the park at this time.

Hutton believes Nakano Associates is a “very good firm” and has done some

“beautiful work” but they didn’t make the city’s budget their No. 1 priority.

He said the Parks Department was able to cut costs on the new design by axing the terracing and strong “amphitheater feel” Nakano Associates proposed in their designs presented at the Jan. 31 City Council retreat.

Instead, Hutton said the city’s design incorporates the

natural slope of the park to create a similar space.

Ikerd said a lot of Nakano’s features were very “high end,” which included concrete retaining walls, plazas and dramatic features.

“We kind of made it more functional and a little less flamboyant,” he said.

The city also plans to reuse elements from the current park. [ more PARK, page 2 ]

Up to 10 tables, umbrellas, barbecues, benches and planters will all be repurposed as well as the current lawn grass and basketball court material, known as slurry seal.

Hutton said the new basketball courts — two half-courts, one regularsized and a smaller one for children — will be created by cutting the current slurry seal to form the arched shapes for the courts.

“Basketball’s really popular there,” Hutton said. “It’s not meant to be an athletic park driver but we do want to leave them because

The grass on the current half-acre lawn will be cut up and reused along areas on South 320th Street, while new hydroseed is planted to create a “great lawn” three times the size of the current one. The new lawn will be over one-and-a-half acres, but Hutton said grass will also surround the play area, basketball courts and south end of the park.

The city will also save money by tying in the catch basins currently at the park.

retain two driveways but open a main walking entrance to the east for people who come from the Transit Center. And although the parking lot will be reduced by 40-50 spaces, Hutton said the Transit Center will be available for parking when the city hosts events such as movie nights in the summer or the holiday tree lighting in the winter.

Because the city hopes to break ground around June 22 and doesn’t anticipate reopening until the summer of 2016, Hutton said there’s a 50/50 chance this year’s holiday tree lighting will be at the park.

“We already have a live tree reserved, it’s 28-feet tall, and we’re hoping for growth,” he said. “It would be planted on-site, and there’s a possibility we could actually do [the tree lighting] there but I’m hesitant to say.”

Hutton said it’s all a matter of whether the site will be ready for people, given that it will still be under construction.

One of the most costly, yet exciting, proposed design features is the spray park.

Between the play area

and lawn will be a spray park somewhat similar to the water area at Town Square Plaza near Kent Station, but with a Federal Way twist.

“Steve has been working really hard on cool concepts that would involve a cool experience, visually, as well as with a huge fun factor,” Hutton said. “An interactive fountain, if you will.”

Hutton said there may be a cascading water feature where “say mom or dad brings their little kid to the park on an 85-degree day and the parents want to feel mist or regulate their experience on how wet they want to get. Adults can control their dampness at their own degree.”

Hutton said they haven’t released the details yet but said there’s an opportunity to incorporate some art into the design.

And because there’s a spray park, restrooms come with the package as they are required by King County Public Health.

Near the restrooms and spray park, there’s space for a potential cafe in the future, however, it’s not represented in this phase.

Ikerd and Hutton also identified two areas for a potential veteran’s memorial, which various veterans advocacy groups and local service groups will fund.

Councilman Bob Celski envisions the memorial to be a place where veterans will be able to rest and reflect.

The park design incorporates more shade than the current park by adding more than 100 trees that “will provide shade and color two times a year” with spring cherry trees and a mixture of maple, dogwood and serviceberry trees, according to the plans.

On the northeast corner of the park will be an area for a covered shelter when it rains or when the sun beats down and there’s also space for a future stage for concerts or other events on the southwest corner.

“On the drawing there’s a future band shell,” Hutton said. “That may be something that would come in later.”

Hutton said in the meantime, the Parks Department has a mobile stage that Ikerd built himself that will suffice.

The city chose the park features based on feedback from 450 respondents from a survey the city recently conducted.

The Parks Department will present the next phase of the park’s design, the 85 percent design, at a council meeting on April 21. If that’s approved, then city staff will begin the master plan process and take it back to the council.

Because they’re on a tight deadline, the city hopes to have a bid acceptance for all of the various park elements by mid-May. If all goes according to plan, Hutton said the goal is to break ground on Monday, June 22, just after the city’s 25th anniversary celebration on June 20. The strict deadline is based on the small window of time they have to lay down the lawn’s hydroseed so that there’s enough grass grown by the summer of 2016.

“We want that great lawn to be just that, a great lawn,” he said. “That’s the rush, hydroseed is a much more affordable option than sod.”

Citizen of the Month offers hope to those in need

BY RAECHEL DAWSON

rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

A

resident of Federal Way before it was officially a city, Hope Elder has spent her time volunteering and serving the community for more than 20 years.

Most recently, she and her group of giving friends recently completed the nearly 800 Easter baskets for children whose families might not be able to afford the gifts this spring.

“I could not do any of this stuff if it wasn’t for all the people who helped,” she said, noting the Christ group and Soroptimist club each donated 700 eggs.

Karen Edwards, who nominated Elder for the Mirror’s Citizen of the Month, said she deserves to be recognized because she has been a force in the Federal Way community for many years.

“For the past seven or eight years, she and her daughter Ruth have prepared 700 to 800 Easter baskets, which are passed out at the food bank,” Edwards said.

“Much of what goes into this

Student poets earn recognition FROM STAFF REPORTS

“Dreams of Blue” earned Daylen A. Nguyen of Tacoma first place in Highline College’s 2015 Student Poetry Contest. Nguyen was one of 43 writers who submitted 80 poems during the contest, which is a prelude to Highline’s third annual celebration of National Poetry Month in April.

“The judges were attracted to the poem’s strong imagery and concise language. Nguyen’s ability to investigate a mood — in this case one of forward-thinking nostalgia — impressed all of us,” said Susan Rich, who serves on the Poetry Month committee and is a Highline faculty member.

A lifelong resident of Tacoma, Nguyen is enrolled at Stadium High School and is in his second year at Highline College as a Running Start student. He plans on transferring to the University of Washington

is donated by them and fills up one room of her house.”

The Easter baskets will go to the Multi-Service Center and will include two eggs, toys, candy, toothbrushes and a book.

Elder has been collecting, organizing and crafting the Easter baskets for about 20 years and first started in 1994 when she was on the Federal Way City Council.

“I saw they were giving one basket to a family of five,” she said, recalling she asked why that was. “They said they’re aren’t enough baskets and I said, ‘There will be.’”

Elder was the chair of the Federal Way Community Council before she would eventually serve as deputy mayor to former Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest. She’s currently on the advisory council for FUSION, the city’s Planning Commission, the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network and is the coordinator for the Monday Night Community Supper at Steel Lake Presbyterian Church — a 14-year commitment so far.

“Everything I do, I do

forever,” she joked.

Elder said serving on the Planning Commission is important to her because she believes it’s critical to prevent property loss for owners.

Also, she’s a great environmentalist, she said.

“It breaks my heart when trees are removed,” she said.

“I want to see open space.”

Throughout her life, Elder has stayed politically active. Most recently, she was nominated in December to fill late Rep. Roger Freeman’s legislative seat in the 30th Legislative District. She ran for City Council twice after she served her time in the 1990s and has taken stances on topics, such as the inclusion of a day shelter.

“I want this day shelter so bad,” she said, noting that many homeless people have nowhere to go to take showers, clean up and do laundry.

“We’ve got money for other things, we have money for this.”

Elder said she’s learned from her time giving that there’s some “really neat people” out there and that dire situations “could happen to any of us.”

Tacoma in the fall to study computer science. Winning the contest earned Nguyen a $125 cash prize.

Second place, with a prize of $100, went to Linda Malnack of Normandy Park for her poem “Apple/Evening.”

This is Malnack’s second time around at Highline. She earned her associate degree in 1978 and went on to the University of Washington, earning a bachelor’s degree in English. She’s back at Highline for an associate of science degree in administrative management.

Third place and $75 went to Anthony Constantino of Des Moines for his poem “Federal Way.” “I sometimes live with my dad down in Federal Way, which is where the ideas for the poem came from,” said Constantino, who has been at Highline for the past three years.

Honorable mention, along with a cash prize of $25, went to seven students: Shari Douglass of Auburn for “The Question,” Keoni Giauque of Federal Way for

“Gelastic Seizure,” Danielle Jordan for “The English Student’s Disclaimer,” Rebecca Judkins of Kent for “Winter Blossom,” Hector Rendon-Garcia of Kent for “The Woman with the Red Obi,” Kat Varela for “How

Hope Elder sits in front of the hundreds of Easter baskets she helped prepare for children this spring. The baskets will be donated to the Multi-Service Center. Courtesy of Karen Edwards She said all of the people she helps have a story and while many people wonder why the homeless don’t just have families to take care of them, she said they often have nothing or no one. But despite all of that, she’s come across people who will give so much, such as helping sweep, setting out chairs, cleaning and other helpful

gestures.

“It gives me such personal satisfaction,” she said about why she spends her time helping. Also, there’s a chance to connect with the giving community.

“I’m thankful for the kind of friends I have to help,” she said. “They just do so many things.”

A native Nebraskan,

Elder moved to Federal Way before it was incorporated 34 years ago. Both of her children attended Federal Way High School and graduated in the mid-to-late 1980s.

She’s worked in the medical field for 45 years doing various jobs, but most recently as a clerical employee for the South Auburn Medical Clinic.

Do You Tell Someone You’re Happy?” and Yanyun Yu of Federal Way for “Converse World.”

The winning poems will be turned into broadsides.

Loosely defined as single sheets of paper printed on

one side, broadsides were the most diverse form of brief, single-occasion publishing before the Civil War. Later, Harlem Renaissance, Concrete and Beat writers claimed the broadside as a below-the-radar way to get

their words out onto the streets.

Highline will honor the winning poets with a reception and poetry reading at 1:30 p.m. on April 8 in the Library Exhibits and Art Gallery.

o one but Troy Xavier Kelley knows how long he will be the state auditor of Washington.

But for those who roam the corridors of power on the Capitol campus in Olympia, the first-term Democrat can’t leave soon enough.

Kelley, whose post puts him fourth in line to succeed the governor, has become a pariah in just two weeks.

He’s been abandoned by his Democratic Party. None of his former colleagues in the Legislature have offered public support. Some Republican lawmakers think he should take a leave of absence, while state GOP leaders want him to resign immediately.

That’s what happens when employees of the federal Department of Justice search your home, subpoena your work records and investigate the intersection of your personal, professional and political lives.

The feds aren’t saying a word about their motivations. They aren’t saying Kelley is the target of a probe. But because federal authorities don’t typically search the home of a statewide elected official on a whim, it’s evoked public shunning of Kelley.

Kelley faces the choice of trying to ride out the storm or leave on his terms.

His salvation, if you can call it that, is that he’s pretty much unknown to the public. While 1.5 million voters elected him in 2012, few would recognize him if he passed them on the street, and most are unaware of what the fuss is about.

For now, Kelley seems resolved to serve a term that runs through the end of 2016. As unlikely as that seems, it could happen if he manages to ignore the noise and nothing comes of the investigation in the next year or so.

But Kelley can’t win a second term. Neither Jerry Cornfield

Legally the state Legislature is partisan; you’re either a Democrat or a Republican. The City Council is non-partisan.

However, you would be naive if you actually believed party politics didn’t play a significant role in the behavior of both incumbents and candidates for jobs in both venues. In fact, who belongs to what party and how their actions conflict with their membership loyalty was a major point of contention the past few weeks as political maneuvering resulted in an almost humorous series of circular inconsistencies.

Put this column on your refrigerator next to your children’s drawings so you can refer to it later this fall. By then, a lot of relationships won’t be the same, and some bruised feelings may not heal for a long time.

Remember when Democratic Councilman Martin Moore was pro-choice and said he would support the public’s will by voting to implement the sale of marijuana in Federal Way? Here we are, a few months later, and now he is a Republican, anti-choice and against marijuana. He also announced several weeks ago he was candidate for the state Legislature against appointed incumbent Democrat Carol Gregory.

The Democrats are mad at him, as are some Republicans who would like a “real” Republican in the field to challenge Gregory. At least two council members considered the race before declining. However, former Advancing Leadership Executive Director Teri Hickel has filed the paperwork and will run against [ more ROEGNER, page 16 ]

Joann Piquette, Federal Way​

What does Martin Moore believe in?

I write to voters of the 30th District to warn them about state representative candidate Martin Moore. I have been an active member of the 30th District Democrats for several years and during that time I came to know Martin well.

The entire organization recognized his intense ambition that, at the same time, came with essentially zero policy interest, but I personally was willing to support a young, enthusiastic Demo-

crat who I hoped would become more knowledgeable as he matured. My husband and I even contributed to his City Council race in 2013.

I should not have had such hope in Martin. As others have noted in the pages of the Federal Way Mirror, he is still not at all interested in policy, but his overriding ambition remains.

One cannot identify a single achievement on the City Council that Martin can be credited with, but for some reason he feels he’s ready to represent us in the state Legislature.

As the Seattle Times has pointed out, Moore’s conversion to a pro-life stance, as well as his allegiance to the Republican Party, is extremely recent. In his 2013 King County Democratic questionnaire he stated he supports “women’s absolute right to reproductive freedom.”

Now he apparently opposes women having autonomy

over their own bodies. One might be thinking, “Okay, so he flip-flopped on a single issue,” but that’s not the end of the story.

The same questionnaire asks if the candidate supports the King County Democratic platform.

Martin Moore stated that, without qualification, he did. A quick analysis of the platform finds a mountain of policy positions that it’s hard to imagine any Republican supporting.

The platform calls for an income tax, aggressive governmental action to reverse climate change, a single-payer healthcare system, abolishment of the death penalty, a $12 state minimum wage, universal background checks on gun sales, a mandatory gun registry, real-estate developers to pay impact fees to mitigate the effects of growth, and comprehensive immigration reform, including greater legal immigration and amnesty for undocu-

mented immigrants.

You might be able to find a Republican who supports one or two of those positions, but none that support all of them. Personally, I don’t know a single Republican that endorses a mandatory gun registry. But apparently Martin Moore does, or at least he did. The cynic in me thinks that he would tell Democrats anything to earn their support.

On the basis of his questionnaire, Democratic organizations gave him $1,000 in direct contributions, to say nothing of thousands mailers sent out on his behalf, newspaper ads and all of the Democratic individuals, like me, who contributed to his campaign.

I write to warn 30th District voters, including Republicans. Martin Moore will tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear to get your support. The public is already weary of phony politicians; we don’t need another one in the form of Martin Moore.

Wild Waves to host job fair FROM STAFF REPORTS

Wild Waves Theme Park, the largest seasonal employer in the region, will host its annual job fair on March 28 at Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way. The job fair looks to fill over 900 seasonal positions from May through September in departments such as lifeguarding, ride operations, food service, retail, security, admission, park services and more.

As a testament to the fun and energetic work environment, an average of 40 percent of the park’s workforce returns year to year.

“Every spring, our seasonal job fair allows us to meet with talented, passionate individuals ready to add to our park dynamic,” said Todd Suchan, Wild Waves Theme Park’s general manager. “The staff is the heart of the park; our team members are the foundation we build upon for a great season.”

The job fair will begin at 9 a.m. in the cafeteria at Todd Beamer High School, located at 35999 16th Ave. S., Federal Way. Attendees will enter through the main entrance. Parking is available in the main student parking lot. Attendees are recommended to bring a completed application, which can be downloaded at www.wildwaves.com/jobs/.

political party would embrace him, nor could he raise enough money to conduct an effective statewide campaign.

Should Kelley resign, Gov. Jay Inslee, a fellow Democrat, will appoint a successor. While the governor will be under pressure to replace him with another party member, the state constitution doesn’t require the successor to be a Democrat, said Dave Ammons, spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office.

Whom the governor might choose could depend on when Kelley departs.

If he leaves office before May 11, the first day of candidate filing for the November election, the position of state auditor would be on the ballot this year. Thus Inslee’s appointee would serve until a choice of voters is sworn in this fall.

If Kelley were to resign after May 11, Inslee’s appointee would serve the rest of the term through 2016.

Under the first scenario, Inslee might be inclined to install a caretaker who won’t run this fall, someone like the last state auditor, Brian Sonntag, or the former secretary of state, Sam Reed. Both are experienced at guiding state agencies and maneuvering Olympia politics — handy skills if the Legislature is still in session.

There are obvious drawbacks to both men, though.

Though Sonntag won five terms as auditor as a Democrat, his party credentials literally got revoked when he joined the conservative anti-union Freedom Foundation as a senior fellow. Reed, meanwhile, is a moderate Republican who has been trying to drum up support for a challenger to Inslee in 2016.

If the appointee needs to serve through next year, Inslee is more likely to seek a Democrat who could win a statewide election.

That could ace out Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, who is said to be interested in the gig if it opens up. He ran unsuccessfully for state auditor in 2012 as a Democrat, then switched parties to win his Senate seat.

the school district community in terms of being culturally competent,” McLean said. “Every time I have an opportunity to work with our high school students, whether it’s through Advancing Leadership Youth, Advancing Leadership 2.0, students who attend the Minority Student Achievement Network or students who are serving on various district committees, the grading advisory committee and the work that students are serving to define what it means to be a global citizen, our students are collaborating together and working together. They’re culturally competent. It’s the adults in this system that are far behind.”

McLean said there’s training available but working on race and culture competency is something the district has been “deliberate about.” Most recently, her team is working to define what it means to have educational equity so “we can help move this district in the right direction.”

Helping the LGBTQ youth who have the highest rate of suicide: McLean wasn’t aware that the gay and lesbian, bisexual, transgender youth were at the highest risk for suicide.

“I don’t know that I have an answer to that question at this point in time,” she said, adding that it was a great question and it was something to think about.

Thoughts on leadership style and problem solving: McLean believes she’s a fixer and most of her work at the district centers around problem solving.

“I’m only interested in being a superintendent here in Federal Way Public Schools because I’m committed to the work we’re doing here,” she said. “I’m not trying to do anything other than maintain the reputation that I have, being trustworthy and honest and willing to share the good news with the bad news.”

Background: McLean has worked in public education in the state of Washington for almost 30 years. Over the last 14 of those have been in Federal Way. Until she was appointed interim superintendent last May, she served the district as an assistant superintendent and had the ability to do a wide variety of activities, ranging from boundary changes, levy proposals and implementing a student information system.

She is a a new grandmother of a 13-month-old. McLean received degrees in decision sciences (statistical analysis) and human resource management from the University of Oregon. She also attended the Harvard Institute of Educational Leadership.

She also worked as an interim CEO for the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce in 2011 and has a history of being engaged in the community.

Q

: Mr. Federal Way, there are rumors on the street that Federal Way City Councilman Martin Moore may be considering withdrawing from his pursuits to fill the seat of his late boss Rep. Roger Freeman now that Teri Hickel has filed with the intent to run.

I guess it will be confusing to the voters since, after all, Moore said that his late boss has ordained his pursuits for his old seat.

Can you ask Councilman Moore what his intentions are and let’s get it on the record if he is still serious or is he going to flip flop again?

Need Clarification in Federal Way A: Dear Need Clarification in Federal Way, 30th Legislative District Republican Chairman Rob Barrans confirmed with Mirror staff that Moore announced he would withdraw from the race last week at a District 30 Republican Party meeting.

However, Moore hasn’t yet confirmed this himself.

Mr. Federal Way thinks we ALL need clarification here in the 30th Legislative District, but especially us Federal Wayans because Moore is a Federal Way City

Councilman and owes it to his constituents to be honest about his intent.

Last week, Mr. Federal Way opined on Moore’s wishy washy “let me appease my new Republican Party by changing core values on marijuana” mentality. This week, it’s clear the rumors that he might back out show more of Moore’s character.

But the next move is his.

Will young, ambitious Moore cave to Republican pressure because Hickel is viewed as the stronger candidate? Will he take a deal and end up door-belling for her like he’s done so many times before for other hopefuls in the race?

Or will Moore stand up for his ambition and pride and put his heart into a race he doesn’t know he can win?

Will he show Americans that an immigrant from Bulgaria can have a real impact if hard work is applied?

Mirror staff has told Mr. Federal Way they have attempted to reach out to Moore to get the on the record response we all deserve to know, yet he, like many other politicians, has simply not replied to the two calls (voicemails included) and two emails.

Mr. Federal Way, like so

many others, is waiting, Mr. Moore.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I see that you have a new Facebook account. Succumbing to peer pressure, are we?

A: Mr. Federal Way is almost as surprised as you are. But to be honest, Mr. Federal Way’s kids kept pestering and ultimately Mr. Federal Way thought it would be a good idea to utilize this medium to garner more questions.

People seem to spend a good portion of their work day, let alone their lives, on social media these days so maybe while they’re distracting themselves, they’ll think of an interesting question to ask.

And Mr. Federal Way will be right there waiting to answer. Now, you have to friend Mr. Federal Way, it’s not one of those pages people “like” or whatever it’s called. Either way, look Mr. Federal Way up on Facebook or don’t be surprised if you get a friend request.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I heard you’ve already received $21 after you put out the call for donations to oust you, in which you’d donate the funds to a day shelter for the homeless. Is this true?

A: None of your business.

Renton man who shot and killed an 18-year-old as he ran from the scene of a failed drug robbery was sentenced to 10 years last Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

David Steven Ross, 36, pleaded guilty to three federal felonies: conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and unlawful possession of a firearm.

During the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said, “The fact that you brought that firearm to a volatile situation, knowing it was suspicious…. You should have walked away.”

According to the records filed in

King County Superior Court and federal court, Ross and an associate arrived at a Federal Way apartment complex on Oct. 17, 2013 to sell two pounds of marijuana to two men — Lenny Brikn and his brother Deshawn Boykin.

Ross was armed with a stolen gun, despite having two previous felony drug convictions that prohibited him from possessing a firearm.

Brikn and Boykin drew “Mac 10” style semi-automatic pistols, ordered Ross and his associate to lie on the ground and attempted to rob them of the marijuana.

Ross claimed to be an undercover police officer and scared Brikn and Boykin into running away.

As the two would-be robbers fled, Ross drew his gun, aimed and fired

multiple times at the men.

Boykin was hit twice in the back and died of his wounds at St. Francis Medical Center.

Lenny Brikn, Jr., 20, of Federal Way was sentenced last September to seven years in prison for possession of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime and a drug trafficking crime.

“This case is a grim reminder that drugs and guns don’t mix,” said acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.

“No matter what the drug, we will not allow the violence that comes from this dangerous combination to go unpunished. That is especially true when — as in this case — the gun is in the hands of a convicted felon.”

Woman robbed after exiting bus: At 12:46 a.m. on March 22 in the 31800 block of Third Place SW, police responded to a strongarm robbery. A woman was walking after exiting a bus when four people attacked her and stole her belongings.

One male grabbed her by the hair and slammed her to the ground, while two females took her belongings before running away.

The victim had cuts on her hand and above her lip. She attempted to chase them but was unable to locate her attackers. Police were unable to locate the suspects as well.

Property broken into: At 2:17 a.m. on March 22 in the 2600 block of S. 272nd St., a neighbor reported the front door to a condo had apparently been kicked in. The neighbor neither saw nor heard anyone. The condo has been unoccupied for over two months.

The condo was cleared and it appeared to be a storage unit with no signs of anyone living inside.

It is unknown if anything was missing. There was no contact information for whoever owns the condo. The neighbor provided a phone number for a possible previous resident, which police called and left a voice mail.

Shotgun shell found: At 7:10 a.m. on March 22 in the 31200 block of 28th Ave. S., police located a spent shotgun shell while they were assisting on a recovered stolen vehicle case. The shell was later booked into evidence.

Business burgled: At 10:03 a.m. on March 22 in the 34200 block of 16th Ave. S., police responded to a burglary. When they arrived they found that someone entered a business and stole cash and two TVs. No suspects or evidence at this time.

Stolen checks not cashed: At 12:34 p.m. on March 22 in the 31600 block of Pacific Highway

S., a woman called 911 to report fraudulent activity involving checks that were stolen from her vehicle a week before. A suspect entered Money Tree, provided ID and was identified by the teller.

The suspect fled on foot and police were unable to locate him or her.

Girlfriend vandalizes boyfriend’s car: At 10:18 a.m. on March 21 in the 100 block of SW 312th Place, a man called 911 to report his 17-year-old stepdaughter keyed her boyfriend’s car and slashed his tires. The boyfriend was not in the area.

Two windows were broken out, all sides of the car were keyed and all tires were slashed. The female juvenile was contacted and interviewed.

Man steals enhancement: At 3:24 p.m. on March 21 in the 2100 block of SW 336th St., police responded to a reported shoplift that had occurred approximately four hours earlier.

Loss prevention stated at 10:54 a.m. an unknown adult white male entered the store and selected two boxes of Extenze and two boxes of Astro Glide worth $70.56. The male left the store entrance without paying for these products and left in a gray Nissan with unknown license plates. There were no leads or suspects.

Gunshots heard near Billy McHale’s: At 4:53 p.m. on March 21 at 1320 S. 324th St., police responded to a call from the manager at Billy McHale’s, where patrons reported hearing gunfire outside around 1:15-1:30 a.m.

No signs of persons or vehicles involved in the shooting were located. Because of the lack of persons involved at the time, they did not call 911. A customer said they located a shell casing in the 1400 block of S. 324th St., which is across the parking lot directly east of the restaurant entrance.

Two men arrive at hospital after being shot: At 2:15 a.m. on March 20 at 34515 Ninth Ave. S., two men entered St. Francis Hospital with reported gunshot wounds. Staff called 911 im-

Neither injury was life threatening. Both men refused to speak with police and tried to deny photos.

Man stops mail thief: At 11:43 p.m. on March 19 in the 34600 block of Fourth Place S., a man returned home from work and drove from the main street to his home with his headlights dimmed.

As he pulled in, a male in his 20s was removing items from his mailbox. The male dropped the items and fled on an unknown type of bike.

Eagles’ track teams look solid against Kentridge in opening meet

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

F

ederal Way High school is looking for its third consecutive girls and boys track and field championship. They looked the part on March 19 against the Chargers of Kentridge.

The girls team put forth a dominant effort, winning the meet 122-28. The boys won 86-58.

Mariyah Vongsaveng, last year’s state champion in the girls 100-meter hurdles, looked ready to repeat as she posted a time of 14.8 seconds in the event. That time places her in second in the 4A classification. She only trails the leader by 0.06 seconds as of March 25.

Vongsaveng was also the winner of the girls 300 hurdles event, winning by nearly five seconds over Kentridge’s Madison Ibale, who finished second.

Gabriela Pelogi was another strong performer as she finished the best time in the girls 100 event with a time of 12.78. Her time is currently the tenth best among girls in the 4A classification.

Last year, Pelogi took home fifth in the state championships and is looking to match her former teammate and current Oklahoma Sooner, Hannah Cunliffe, who won state last year in the 100.

Pelogi also won the long jump event with a distance of 15-4.

While she finished second behind Pelogi in the 100 with a strong 13.06 time, senior Karis Cameron was able to take home the top spot in the 200 with a time of 27.03 seconds.

The girls 4x100 meter relay team once again looks to be a top contender as well. Against Kentridge they posted a time of 50.12, good enough for second best in the 4A classification at the moment.

Julian Johnson and Rachel Arnold posted one-two finishes in both the 800 and 1600. Johnson won the 800, while Arnold won the 1600.

Jonarra Swanson’s distance of 33-8 1/4 was the top mark in the triple jump event and currently is the 10th best distance in the 4A classification.

In all, the Federal Way girls team took two of the top three spots in all events but pole vault and the long and triple jumps.

For the boys, it was a close race between Alex Taylor and Jason Palmer in the 100-meter event.

Taylor, who won the event, finished with a time of 11.19 and Palmer with a time of 11.22. The times are good enough for eighth and ninth in the 4A classification currently.

Palmer would also go on to post a time of 22.44 in the 200. That time currently only ranks behind one other in the state. Last year Palmer finished third in the 400. He did not run it at this meet.

Marcus Tate won the 400 with a time of 53.71. He was also a part of the boys 4x100 meter relay team that posted a time of 43.88, the fourth best time in the 4A classification currently.

Another standout performer was D’Jimon Jones who quarterbacked the football team to the state quarterfinals and was the sixth man on the statechampion basketball team.

Jones, who is participat-

Vongsaveng was also the winner of the 300 hurdles event and on the 4x100-meter relay team.

Vongsaveng is looking to win her third straight state championship in the women’s 100 hurdles event.

Right, Alex Taylor finishes the men’s 4x100-meter event as the team’s anchor. The 4x100 relay team currently has one of the top marks in the state.

Taylor also won the men’s 100 with a time of 14.8 seconds, which is also currrently one of the best times in the state. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror

ing in track for the first time this year, posted a jump of 6-9 in the high jump event. Currently, that is the top height in the 4A classification.

He also posted a jump of 21-8 1/2 in the long jump event, which is good enough for fourth in the 4A classification. He may

prove to be a great replacement for Tyson Penn, who won state in the triple and high jump events last year, but has since moved to Bellevue.

Chico McClatcher and Jared Pulu are well-known track and field athletes who did not participate in this event due to not meet-

ing the minimum practice requirements at the moment. They should be present from here on out.

Federal Way had a meet at Tahoma on Thursday after the Mirror’s publishing deadline.

Their next meet is on April 2 against Thomas Jefferson.

Sophomore the hero for Thomas Jefferson soccer

homas Jefferson High School won the state soccer championship just two years ago. A year later they found themselves missing the playoffs for the first time in five years.

Now the team is young and hungry to get back to the state playoffs. A school with a rich soccer tradition such as theirs never stays down too long.

Jefferson junior goalkeeper, Hunter Bowman, is beat by the free kick from Beamer junior Christian Guzman. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror In their way on Tuesday night stood a Beamer

team eager to prove their worth in the South Puget

Sound League Northwest division. They sported a 1-1-0 record coming into the game.

Jefferson had a 1-1-1 record coming into the game. They suffered a 3-0 loss in their previous game against Mount Rainier, while Beamer had a 3-0 win against Lincoln.

Early in the game, Beamer dominated possession and created a few chances. As the first half went on, the Raiders settled down and possession began to even out.

Both keepers — junior Omar Duenas of Beamer and junior Hunter Bowman — were solid early, stopping multiple shots and disrupting breakaway chances.

Jefferson had a few early chances called offsides.

Set pieces ended up being key in the game for both teams. In the 40th minute, the Titans would finally break through on a free kick by junior midfielder, Christian Guz[ more SOCCER, page 11 ]

man, from 24 yards out.

The kick sailed over the four-man Thomas Jefferson High School wall and past a diving Bowman.

Beamer would take the 1-0 lead into the half.

The second half saw more physical play from both sides, which kept the play closer to midfield.

In the 55th minute, Jefferson scored its first goal on a free kick by junior Justin Yoon from 28 yards out that beat Duenas.

Nick Hall, a junior for Thomas Jefferson, almost got his head to the ball on the kick, but missing it turned out to be beneficial.

As the game wound down to the final 10 minutes, both teams struggled to find enough room to shoot.

After forcing Beamer to play the ball out of bounds to stop the pressure, Jefferson was awarded possession just outside the box.

On the ensuing throw in, Raiders sophomore Jose Ramirez found his way to the ball and headed into the top right corner to take a 2-1 lead and complete the comeback.

and I needed to be back there to head it in,” said Ramirez of his goal. “It felt good. It felt really, really good.”

The Titans increased their attack in the final minutes, but it was to no avail. They earned a couple late corner kicks, but could not capitalize.

Jefferson earned the 2-1 victory and begins conference play with a win.

“It was a good win for the guys, we’ve been struggling,” says Raiders head coach Dave Hanson. “We’re trying to get them to get that Thomas Jefferson fight, because every game is going to be a war.”

Though they were dis-

appointed with the late goal, Todd Beamer head coach Brett Lucas was able to take one positive away from the game.

“We’re just as good as TJ,” Lucas said. “We need to work harder at practice and figure some things out.”

Beamer fell to 1-20 overall and 0-1-0 in conference play on the season. Jefferson is 2-1-1 overall on the season and 1-0-0 in conference play.

Beamer will face Federal Way at 5:30 p.m. tonight at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Jefferson’s next game will be against Decatur at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

ederal Way high school had a longer wait than most other fastpitch teams to start their season, but it started off well for them with a 13-3 win over division rival Decatur.

The runs came early as the Eagles opened the game with five runs in the first two innings, jumping out to a 5-0 lead.

Decatur would answer with a threerun third inning, bringing the game to a score of 5-3. The runs were brought in on a bases clearing triple by sophomore Sophia Musiak.

They would be the only runs Decatur would score.

The Gators struggled with errors throughout the game committing five total.

The errors in the fifth inning caused the most damage.

Junior Jaclyn Gillis pitched a complete game and struck out seven batters. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror

Decatur quickly managed to get the first two Federal Way batters out, but a couple errors extended the inning on what would have been the third out.

The Eagles managed a two-out rally and scored four runs in the inning, pushing the lead to 12-3.

“Errors killed us this game,” said Decatur head coach Sara Steinmetz. “We had one big inning with multiple errors and with the girls understanding that those can’t happen, our season should get better.”

Eventually the Gators would succumb to the mercy rule in the sixth inning after allowing one run to cross the plate.

Eagles junior pitcher Jaclyn Gillis had an excellent game as she only allowed five hits and walked three batters. She struck out seven batters total.

Federal Way head coach Carl Peters believes that his team is capable of a post-season berth this year as he thinks that going to districts is a big possibility with the talent the Eagles have.

Steinmetz remains positive about the Gators chances of improving this year.

The team is full of seniors and she expects them to provide leadership in their final season.

Federal Way’s record improved to 1-0 overall and in conference with the win.

The Eagles played Kent-Meridian on Thursday after the Mirror’s publishing deadline. Their next game is a home game against the Kentlake Falcons at 4 p.m. today.

Decatur fell to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in conference on the season with the loss.

The Gators’ next game is at home against Kent-Meridian today at 4 p.m.

Volunteers needed to drive seniors in King County FROM STAFF REPORTS

Geraldine Mensink, 89, does not know what she’d do without Volunteer Transportation. When she decided it was time to give up her keys two years ago, the program saved her from feeling helpless and stuck. She uses the service regularly to get to appointments and said, “I love all of the volunteer drivers. They are wonderful.”

Since 1975, Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation drivers have accumulated “miles and miles” of positive impact throughout King County. Using their own vehicles, volunteers pick seniors up, take them to their doctors and drive them home again — offering valuable transpor-

tation with a personal touch. Clients of the program often refer to them as their “heroes,” “guardian angels” or “life-savers.”

In a very tangible way, volunteer drivers make a difference in the lives of vulnerable members of our community.

Volunteer Transportation currently faces the grim reality that it cannot serve all seniors in need of rides to important medical care. More volunteer drivers are needed. If you have a reliable vehicle, a clean driving record and some weekday availability, this is the role for you. Visit the program’s blog to read more of its stories; contact Hilary at 206-748-7588 or hilaryc@seniorservices. org to find out more; or fill out an online volunteer driver application to sign-up.

Help more seniors get “on the road” to improved health and peace of mind.

New PACC director hopes to make memories for Federal Way

heresa Yvonne didn’t get a “B” in biology because she liked dissecting frogs.

“I got a ‘B’ in biology because my mom would have never let me audition for a show if I didn’t keep my grades up,” Yvonne said on a recent afternoon at Federal Way City Hall. “So that became my hook and she knew it and she used it wisely as a good parent should.”

She started working for the city two weeks ago following a nationwide search as the new executive director for the Performing Arts and Conference Center. Though the $32.7 million, 700-seat facility will not be complete until late 2016, the city brought Yvonne on board a year early to set up programming and to get things ready before it opens.

“I’m settling in,” said the California transplant. “I’m still carrying an umbrella, which I’ve figured out in a very short period of time that no one carries an umbrella out here, so eventually I’ll get there.”

Yvonne grew up near Redding, California as a “theater kid,” playing roles such as a dancer in “Fiddler on the Roof ” in high school.

When she was 15 years old, she saw Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee’s “Inherit the Wind”

“So that first year is going to be creating those collective community memories for the creative community when everybody comes and uses it,” Yvonne said. “Those are pivotal moments in people’s lives and we get to be a part of that in a sense. We get to facilitate that and make that happen.”

She is also confident that the performing arts center in Federal Way will spur economic development for the city. Similar to the city of Lancaster’s revitalization plan that centered on the Lancaster Performing Arts Center, the Federal Way facility is also expected to bring businesses to the city center.

“Let me put it to you this way, and you can look this up on Americans for the Arts, every person that comes to a performance spends $24 on the average on auxiliary spending, when they buy a ticket,” she noted. “So every single person that comes in here is either going to go out to dinner, they’re going to buy dessert, they’re going to buy gas, they’re going to pay for a babysitter … The arts are just a huge economic driver and that’s one of the things that’s exciting about this facility is it has all the right elements to make that successful.”

She also believes the new Federal

March 27, 2015 [15] Way facility will add to the arts in the region, not create competition, as some opponents have expressed.

“I don’t think any other performing arts facility is competition.

You have to work together. The more restaurants you have on a boulevard, the better they all do,” she said. “So the idea that any other performing arts center is competition, I don’t subscribe to that.”

She said the Lancaster facility was 30 miles from another performing arts center in Santa Clarita and she regularly worked with them so that certain performers could maximize their stay in the region.

She also plans to be sensitive to the large low-income population in Federal Way and will offer different ticketing prices. In Lancaster, for example, she helped develop an arts for youth program where they offered kids and families $5 shows during the day.

“There’s ways to do that; companies will underwrite that,” she said. “There’s ways to have a range.

Everything isn’t going to be a top dollar ticket and everything isn’t going to be $12 either. It’s going to run the gamut. That’s my job, that juggling.”

She looks forward to meeting with the community and has already met with members of the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts, many of whom said they are happy to have a “place they can call home.”

Gregory. That caused Moore to again change his mind and decide he was not a candidate and will support Hickel.

And remember when current Democratic Mayor Jim Ferrell was a Republican, then switched to be a Democrat between his first and second mayoral races with Skip Priest so that he wouldn’t have to split Republican votes with Priest? Several Democrats aren’t too happy with Ferrell because he just gave the Key to the City [16] March 27, 2015 www.federalwaymirror.com to Hickel, even though her candidacy has been rumored for many weeks. He could have chosen to hold the presentation after the election. By going through with the presentation, he gives Hickel publicity now and fodder for her campaign.

www.soundclassifieds.com won’t get an endorsement from too many Democrats.

Both parties are watching Ferrell on the marijuana issue. Democrats, like the majority of Federal Way voters, favor allowing marijuana to be sold in the city.

Republicans tend to be against the idea.

The City Council is pretty conservative and their recent votes suggest a majority is against implementation.

And while Ferrell’s official recommendation to the council was to implement its www.soundclassifieds.com availability, he didn’t seem to step up and try to lead on the issue. Some political observers believe that the former prosecutor — who received significant support from the Police Guild and whose chief of staff is the former police chief — might want it both ways. That would make his new party, the Democrats, happy by appearing to support implementation, but also make Republicans happy by not attaching himself too closely to the issue when the council votes it down.

To add further intrigue, Moore has been looking for a job for several months. He became unemployed when his boss state Rep. Roger Freeman passed away and was replaced by Gregory. Moore was quick to announce his candidacy to challenge Gregory and raised over $12,000. But with his sudden decision to drop out of the race and support Hickel, some political observers are wondering if Moore believes a government job might open up for him some place. Moore says he didn’t make any deals.

Also, the King County Democratic incumbent Assessor Lloyd Hara will be challenged by fellow Democrat John Arthur Wilson, who is also Hara’s former chief deputy.

And to think the election season is just starting!

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Sherwood Forest has abundance of books thanks to teachers, parents Preschool FROM STAFF REPORTS information fair coming April 2 Sherwood Forest has a robust reading program, thanks in large part to English-language learners teacher Yelena Alexander and resource room teacher Alicia Rogers, and a group of parent volunteers.

Alexander is a grantwriter extraordinaire, according to Federal Way Public Schools officials. She is able to acquire grants for books, iPads and then more books.

“We are wonderfully blessed with an abundance of books,” said Principal Alisa DeSart.

Most recently, Sherwood Forest received a donation of 81 books from author Mo Willems, who partnered with First Book to provide brand new books to children across the country.

And it’s not the first time.

King County Council member Pete von Reichbauer organized a county recognition of the Federal Way High School Boys Basketball coach and team at a recent King County Council meeting. Von Reichbauer presented the recognition to the coach and players for their success in winning the WIAA 4A Boys State Championship.

Coach Jerome Collins led his team to a 65-46 victory over Davis High School at the Tacoma Dome on March 7. Coach Collins was joined by members of the championship team: Timoney Buckley, Troy Conley, Viont’e Daniels, Ferron Flavors, Eli Graham, Mykael Henry, Christian Jones, D’Jimon Jones, Jalen McDaniels, Malik Montoya, Leon Njama, Marcus Stephens and Jovon Vonsaveng.

Councilmember von Reichbauer hosted the team at a lunch and reception prior to the Council meeting.

“In Jerome Collins’ 31 years of coaching, he has always emphasized the importance of the hard work necessary to be successful on the court and in the classroom,” said von Reichbauer. “Leaders like Coach Collins empower the youth in our community to lead successful lives long after they have played the game.”

it,” DeSart added.

Many of the books are provided in multiple languages, and they aren’t all fiction. This helps Sherwood’s students meet the new state requirements that children do a significant amount of nonfiction text reading, as well as fiction.

In addition to the books, Alexander has pulled together a team of parents, many of whom don’t speak English, to manage a book exchange program. Once or twice a week, the parent volunteers bring a book cart from room to room and call on children to exchange books — something like a rolling library. At the end of the summer, Sherwood students go home with a bag of books to enjoy throughout the summer.

DeSart feels that the program has helped students who may not have been on track in reading originally develop a real love for it and an appreciation of books.

pet of the week Widdy

has the cutest personality to go along with his adorable lanky looks.

Widdy was rescued from a shelter recently in another state, where they don’t have very many adoptions.

He had to have his left eye removed but hasn’t affected him at all.Widdy has a sparkling demeanor, an overall enjoyment of other dogs and he totally ignores kitties.

As loving and sweet as can be, this laid back loving 6 year old German shepherd is super smart, very playful, totally willing and wanting to do everything with you.

He weighs about 70 pounds and can’t wait for you to throw a pack on his back and head outdoors.

He will make a great exercise partner as he loves being outside and the mountains and the beach will be right up his new alley. Widdy is crate trained, house trained and knows some basic commands. Widdy is great on the leash and super in the car.

Retired Army Master Sgt. James Hayden and his family with Rep. Linda Kochmar. Contributed photo

Kochmar sponsors resolution honoring veteran FROM STAFF REPORTS

The state House honored Retired Army Master Sgt. James Hayden on March 2 with a resolution sponsored

by Rep. Linda Kochmar, R-Federal Way, in recognition of his sacrifices during World War II and the Korean War.

Several months ago, Hayden’s family contacted Kochmar to inquire about the possibility of Hayden receiving his Prisoner of War medals for his service during the Korean War, which he had never received.

“After hearing James’ story, the sacrifices he made and the torture he endured on behalf of our country, I wanted to ensure he was properly honored for his service,” Kochmar said. “It’s important we continue to honor and remember the sacrifices so many brave men and women make on our

behalf.”

Kochmar added, “Military servicemen and servicewoman have such a special place in my heart as my late husband and brother both served in the Vietnam War.” Hayden began his more than 18-year service in 1944, and received a Purple Heart for his heroism in World War II. During a ceremony in September at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Hayden received his Prisoner of War medals. On Dec. 1, 1950, Hayden was captured during the Korean War and was not released until Sep. 5, 1953

following the signing of the armistice.

It was discovered during the ceremony Hayden had also not received his Silver Star for his heroics in Germany during World War II. In March 1945, after investigating a tunnel and participating in battle with enemy troops, Hayden single-handedly killed two German soldiers, injured four and captured 12, earning him a Silver Star.

It has been more than 61 years since Hayden was imprisoned during the Korean War. For more information about Kochmar, visit www. representativelindakochmar. com.

Student serves as page in state House FROM STAFF REPORTS

Caleb Bryant, a student

from Todd Beamer High School, traveled to Olympia Feb. 23-27 and served as a page in the state House of Representatives. He was sponsored by 30th District Rep. Linda Kochmar, RFederal Way. “Civic education is an important aspect of our state’s curriculum, which is why the page program is an excellent way for students from around the state to learn firsthand how our state government operates,” Kochmar said. “I hope he had a great time in Olympia this week, and I am grateful for his service.”

Caleb is a pitcher on his school’s baseball team and he is also a part of the school’s Skills USA Club.

During his time as a page, Caleb attended page school every day to understand the operations and actions of the Legislature. His time at the Capitol culminated with the presentation of his mock bill to address the issue of school

start times, and how starting classes at a later time will improve overall test scores.

As part of his page duties, Caleb learned to navigate the many buildings on the Capitol campus and delivered messages and documents to legislators and staff.

Each year, students from around the state apply to participate in the legislative page program. Students spend a week attending page school, learning the inner workings of state government and assisting legislators on the House floor. Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program.

To become a page, applicants must have a legislative sponsor, be between the ages of 14 and 16, and obtain written permission from their parents and school. For more information about the legislative page program, visit www.leg.wa.gov/House/ Pages/HousePageProgram. aspx.
