an Ann Cook. “It’s always difficult, it’s always hard and this [incident] has been so high profile,” said Cook, who was at the school Monday morning and noted some students came to the library to speak with counselors. She said Decatur teachers personally called family
members over the weekend, who were “very devastated.” “Staff and the principal are reaching out to the family to provide whatever assistance they can,” Cook added. “The school will monitor and support kids as needed throughout the week.” [ more STUDENT, page 2 ]

King County prosecutors recently charged the suspect who a Federal Way police officer shot on March 30. Federal Way resident Christopher Leroy Roberson, 19, was charged with second-degree assault and attempted robbery on April 1. His bail was set at $100,000. Court documents allege Roberson approached a man waiting at a bus stop early one morning and demanded money. The two were near the park and ride in the 27200 block of Pacific Highway S. According to court documents, the victim refused to hand over his cell phone or money and the suspect punched him.
Roberson allegedly grabbed the man’s cell phone but the victim was able to get away by using the bus shelter to escape. During this time, court documents state Roberson began punching the shelter with his fists. The suspect ran after the victim as he called 911. Federal Way police officer Benjamin Tseng, a 17-year veteran, and another officer responded to the call. Court documents state Roberson confronted Tseng with a “kitchen, or steaktype, knife” in his fist. “The defendant refused repeated commands by the officer to drop the knife and refused to cooperate with the officer’s directives,” the documents continue. “The defendant ran at the officer [ more SHOOTING, page 3 ]
Graffitied fence prompts city’s first volunteer-based beautification day BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
A 2,000-foot fence in Federal Way has been catching eyes for years but not for the right reasons.
The fence along 21st Avenue Southwest, just south of Southwest 325th Place on the east side, divides a busy street from residential homes, but the white fence has also been home to taggers and graffiti artists for years. Although city maintenance crews are diligent about painting over the
very public markings, the fence has been “looking blotchy” lately and was in great need of a makeover. “Right now, most of it is covered up,” said city Code Compliance Officer John Fairbanks about the graffiti. “When the weather starts to get nice, there will be an uptick.” In an effort to help keep

The accident occurred at about 7:50 p.m. in the 20200 block of 148th Ave. SE near Lake Youngs, when a Ford sedan crossed the centerline and collided with a Honda Civic coming the opposite direction. The Ford driver was alone in his car. Two passengers in the Honda were seriously injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Sheriff ’s Office said the two passengers were each in their 20s but it has not released their sexes or hometowns. The driver of the Ford, who investigators believe took his eyes off the road to look down at his phone, had no reported injury.

The car accident last Friday forced the closure of all but one lane on I-5, and caused a 12-mile backup from South 288th Street in Federal Way to the Tacoma Dome, said Washington State Department of Transportation officials. Tacoma police were unclear what caused Morales to swerve off the overpass. According to the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, her cause of death was due to multiple blunt force and crush injuries. Known as a “delight” to Decatur teachers and students, Morales was a student in the Federal Way Public Schools since the first grade, Cook said. She attended Decatur for the last year-and-a-half and, prior to that, was enrolled at Federal Way High School. She also

attended the Washington Youth Academy in Bremerton during her first semester this year. “Heidy started her sophomore year at Lincoln High School in Tacoma and transferred to us during her sophomore year,” said Rex Tucker, assistant principal at Decatur. “She worked very hard and was willing to do anything she could to graduate on time, even though Decatur was her third school in a year-and-a-half because her parents were moving around for jobs.” Tucker said Morales’s parents were supportive of her when she came to Decatur and they spoke with him about how Morales could catch up on credits. This is why she attended the Washington Youth Academy, where she was able to obtain several extra credits
in one semester. “She did really well there,” Tucker noted, adding that Morales was a “fighter” and “tenacious.” “She was never afraid to do the extra work to try and stay caught up on credits to graduate on time because she had plans after high school.” Morales planned to participate in the Running Start program her senior year at a community college and eventually transfer to a four-year college after high school. Principal David Brower and Tucker met with the school’s yearbook class during first period on Monday to speak with them about their fellow classmate, who was enrolled in the class. The students, mostly juniors, spoke about potentially creating a memorial page for Morales in this year’s
yearbook, Tucker said. The school will also have a banner available for students to sign and write comments in Morales’s memory to her family. Tucker added that this is another tough year for Decatur Gators, as this is the second year in a row that they’ve lost a student midyear. Last year, senior Dom Cooks died of brain cancer. Brower said news of this kind can affect students in a variety of ways, “ranging from disbelief, to anger, to deep sorrow.” He encourages parents to speak to their students and watch for signs that they may need additional support in understanding this loss. Parents who feel their students would benefit from extra support can call Decatur’s main office at 253945-5200.

Q&A with Mr. FW: City salaries and paying enough to keep Mr. Federal Way Q
: Mr. Federal Way, could you list the salaries of major city employees? The salaries might help to explain why our property taxes are so much higher than they were in the early 1980s. This request was prompted by the article about the communications coordinator being “let go.” A: Mr. Federal Way couldn’t say if city salaries are linked to property taxes. Mr. Federal Way does know that King County property owners have until April 30 to pay the first half of their 2015 property taxes. But Mrs. Federal Way already took care of that for the Federal Way household. To answer your question, Mr. Federal Way obtained the salary information for the city’s major employees. Here are the 2015 salaries for the city’s eight directors: • Performing Arts and Conference Center director, $117,996 • Community development director, $130,008 • Finance director, $138,036 • Parks director, $138,036
• City attorney, $140,076 • Economic development director, $142,104 • Public Works director, $150,216 • Police chief, $157,920 The city also employs five support staff positions for the mayor’s office, including: • Administrative support (temp position), $12 per hour • Community outreach coordinator, $31.25 per hour • Executive assistant to the mayor, $59,340 • Communications and government affairs coordinator, $101,592 • Chief of staff, $157,920 Several staff salaries, unlike Mr. Federal Way’s, also went up substantially from 2013 to 2015. So who got raises? The city attorney now makes $7,392 more this year; the finance director, $16,188 more; the police chief, $22,536; the communications coordinator, $19,452; and the executive assistant
[ SHOOTING from page 1] stressed, each command is and shots were fired.” Tseng broadcast on his radio at 6:51 a.m., “Drop the knife.” Several radio transmissions, such as commands to drop the knife and get on the ground, followed over the next several seconds. “I was able to review the audio recording of the incident,” said Steven Ivey, a detective of Port of Seattle Police Department, who is involved in the investigation. “Officer Tseng can be heard ordering Roberson to drop the knife three times in the first eight seconds of his broadcast. As officer Tseng is giving orders, his voice sounded elevated and
louder and more forceful than the previous one.” Officer Sederberg arrived on scene after the suspect ran across Pacific Highway South. As he approached the two, he drew his firearm and stopped 10 feet away. He could not see the suspect’s right hand but heard Tseng ordering him to drop the knife. Roberson, who was seated, allegedly raised his right hand as he held the knife. Sederberg also ordered him to drop the knife as Tseng deployed his Taser. “Roberson screamed, stood up, started to run south, changed direction and then ran north,” the
to the mayor, $3,728. That equates to $69,296 in raises for five positions. Mr. Federal Way imagines that the raises have something to do with the city ensuring modern day salaries keep pace with and are comparable to the market. But the raises are a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the new positions the city is funding this year. Keep in mind that several years ago, former Mayor Skip Priest cut staff positions in response to the economy. For example, he combined planning and economic development responsibilities under one director. But Mayor Jim Ferrell dug into city coffers and restructured the Economic Development and Community Development departments last June, which included hiring two new directors to oversee each department. In addition, Ferrell split up Parks and Public Works responsibilities under two different directors. He also created two new staff
positions, including chief of staff and the Performing Arts and Conference Center director. Mr. Federal Way is not a mathematician, but these positions amount to increased salary costs of over $543,000. That doesn’t include the re-addition of four positions in the Community Development Department the council approved last April. The city estimated that the developmental specialist position would cost the city $63,586 annually; the associate planner position, $77,485 a year; building inspector, $79,240; and code compliance officer, $73,757. That’s a grand total of $294,068 for the four positions. This list is not exhaustive of all raises and new positions and is only a glimpse of what Mr. Federal Way has garnered rom reading the Mirror and compiling information from staff. But a hefty new $1 million in spending for the city this year better amount to more benefits for the community. Mr. Federal Way will watch to see if these new faces at
City Hall will rake in more businesses, crack down on code violators and ensure things such as our parks are in top-notch condition. Q: Mr. Federal Way, did Federal Wayans donate enough money to make you leave the Mirror? A: Last month, Mr. Federal Way challenged residents to oust the Mirror’s most beloved columnist, and Mr. Federal Way is not talking about Mr. Bob Roegner. Mr. Federal Way asked all 91,000 Federal Way residents to each donate a buck, which the Mirror will donate to Sound Alliance, who are trying to build a day shelter for the homeless in Federal Way. Mr. Federal Way pledged that if the Mirror collects $91,000, this columnist would stop writing in these pages. Did the Mirror reach their goal? Not even close. But Mr. Federal Way is touched that several people donated to the cause and asked him to keep writing, while others said they wouldn’t donate money because they don’t want to see a talented columnist go.

documents state. “Roberson turned west and ran down into the parking lot and ran straight into a wooden fence.” The fence split and the suspect’s foot became caught between two sections. According to the detective, Tseng caught Roberson’s foot as he attempted to flee and tased him again. The suspect yelled that he would drop the knife and then he threw it onto a grassy area on the other side of the fence. Roberson was treated for one gunshot wound to the left hip and one to the lower left leg at the scene and taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Roberson has two juvenile offenses — possession of illegal drugs in 2010 and
third-degree theft in 2011. The officer-involved shooting component is still
being investigated as the officer is on paid administrative leave, a standard policy.

“Please, please don’t go away,” wrote one resident who mailed in $1. “Your words grate on the blackboard every now and then. But, we do need them!” In total, the Mirror raised $24 — $21 of which came from two elected officials. This doesn’t surprise Mr. Federal Way, as 99 percent of his words are critical of elected officials. So Mr. Federal Way is here to stay. And if you still want to donate to the cause, the Mirror’s editor will keep a jar on her desk for a couple more weeks in case you want to come into the office, throw a dollar in the jar to benefit the homeless or throw more encouraging words Mr. Federal Way’s way.

ederal Way Mirror circulation manager Eddie McClain worked on Saturdays because he loved people. If readers didn’t receive their newspaper on Friday, many knew to call Eddie, who freely gave out his cell phone number so that he could personally deliver people’s newspapers on Saturday. Eddie passed away on March 26 from natural causes at the age of 40. “All of his work family at the Mirror will miss Eddie tremendously,” said publisher Rudi Alcott. “The tender age of 40 is much too young. Your smile, generous laugh and personality will never be duplicated. Godspeed, my friend, Godspeed.” He said that shortly after Eddie started at the Mirror a few years ago, he came into his office and plopped down in a chair, all dejected. “I asked him what was up and he said that he checked his voicemail and had a complaint from a subscriber,” Alcott recalled. “I asked him how many and he said, ‘just one boss.’” He told Eddie that just one complaint wasn’t too bad and to go take care of it. “That was Eddie in a nutshell. One or a thousand complaints was simply not good enough for him,” Alcott said. “One was as bad as a thousand and he strived for complete accuracy … This is a quality in an employee that you automatically come to admire. One that Eddie did without remiss.” Everyone at the Mirror and those in the community who met Eddie knew him as a kindred soul. I remember one afternoon I was chatting with the editorial staff about the community groups who hope to build a day shelter for the homeless in Federal Way.

Mayor Jim Ferrell is fond of accomplishing historical firsts. If the City Council follows through on banning marijuanarelated businesses in the city, Ferrell may veto the motion. It would be the first mayoral veto in the four years we have had a strong mayoral form of government. But Ferrell also faces the prospect of being the first mayor to have his veto overridden. History aside, what does Ferrell gain by that action? And, why would the council want to ignore the wishes of a majority of the people who elected them? When the issue was on the ballot, 53 percent of city voters voted to legalize marijuana. The council motion in favor of the ban passed 5-2, with Deputy Mayor Jeanne
Burbidge and Councilwoman Lydia AssefaDawson, Kelly Maloney and Councilmen Martin Moore and Bob Celski in the majority. Councilwoman Susan Honda and Dini Duclos voted against the motion. The issue will be before the council for a second reading and another vote at the April 21 council meeting. The same 5-2 vote to ban marijuana businesses in the city is expected. If Ferrell does veto the council action, the council would need five votes at the first council meeting in May to override his veto and move the ban into law. Since five voted for it, it would appear an override is likely. Most council watchers thought the issue would pass 4-3, with Moore following his [ more ROEGNER, page 6 ]

OPINION
[4] April 17, 2015
No excuses for not exercising We all have observed people with arthritis or other medical issues that make exercise painful, so they stop and end up sitting too much. Once, having a physical disability meant you couldn’t do so many things, like use playground equipment. That’s why the Federal Way Rotary’s contribution of a wheelchair “merry-goround” at Steel Lake Family Funland was such a good idea; it provided a way for kids in wheelchairs to participate with the others.
People who might not think they can exercise may find there are also opportunities for them at the Federal Way Community Center. Observe the recreation pool in the mornings and you will see people with leg problems or arthritis able to water-walk, letting the water’s buoyancy take some of the stress off of their sore joints and let them get some exercise. This pool has one portion with a beach-like slope, so those who have problems walking can get into the water without using stairs or ladders. With correct equipment and proper preparation, even folks in wheelchairs can get in the pool, and the users have looked pretty happy when floating and swimming in the water. How freeing it must be for them to not have to rely on a wheelchair to move around. Last week, I noticed that there was a brand new piece of equipment upstairs, an
exercise machine with a wheelchair ramp. A few days later a sight-challenged man who needed a white cane to find his way around was riding a stationary bike after the weight room attendant told him how to use it. This sort of event negates any excuses you might have for not exercising. I applaud the Federal Way Community Center’s work to ensure people with disabilities can use some, if not all of, the equipment and features there. I hope those who would like to get some exercise, or know people who might not ask for themselves, will contact the community center and see if they can be accommodated.

Vote ‘yes’ for firefighters I am asking you to join our community in voting
“yes” for Proposition 1 to continue to support our firefighters. As your elected official, my No. 1 priority is that we take care of our firefighters and our police officers. I believe that in order for them to do their job in the best possible way, they will need the best tools. I want to thank the Federal Way Mirror editorial board for endorsing the measure. “Federal Way’s population is expected to rise, as three apartment complexes, two senior living centers, one town home complex, a school and two businesses are currently in the works …,” according to the editorial board. “In addition, the district needs upgrades to its existing fire stations. Most of the agency’s stations are over 40 years old, and because they are not retrofitted for earthquakes, the facilities could collapse during such a disaster. A ‘yes’ vote would ensure
that the fire district has top-notch equipment and facilities to be able to provide us with the best service as possible. Not only do firefighters respond to calls for fire, they also provide emergency medical help.” This is exactly why I am voting yes for Proposition 1. The need is there and for a growing community, it is vitally important that we are able to offer the best quality service to our residents. We need to ensure that our firefighters are equipped with the right tools. We are bound to grow and that will happen. As we look towards the future, we must start to prepare for it right now by voting yes on Proposition 1 to improve emergency response for cardiac and fire, firefighter safety, technology upgrades, vehicle facilities modernization and new engines and aid cars. Please join me in voting for Proposition 1 by April 28.

bustling about helping to deliver newspapers — asked if we knew any of the regular homeless folks who line Pacific Highway South. One of the those homeless people, Eddie explained, is a pregnant woman who regularly stands at the corner of Enchanted Parkway South and 320th Street. The first time Eddie saw the woman, he parked his car, walked over to her and handed her a sandwich. He told us the woman was so happy that she cried and told him how hungry she was and how difficult it was to find something to eat. Eddie said he went back several times to check on her, and to bring her bagged lunches or dinners. This is how I will always remember Eddie — a man with a heart of gold. “He was universally liked by all that had the pleasure of knowing him,” Alcott said. “He had that teddy bear quality, with the persona to match that all of us hope to achieve and very few do.” Eddie was born in West Virginia as the oldest of four children and grew up in North Pole, Alaska. He also spent time in northern California, and Hawaii with his grandparents before eventually residing in Washington, where he lived for the last several years. With a love of the outdoors, Eddie often dreamed of owning a cabin by the lake. He enjoyed fishing,

camping, building fires and sitting outside to enjoy the stars, his family said. He loved children and was a mentor to many. Eddie is survived by his mother Kim McClain, sisters Michelle Colborn and Jenney McClain, brother Judah McClain, three nephews and two nieces. A celebration of life service will be held for Eddie from 11 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. on Saturday, April 18 at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Auburn. The Mirror and many in the Federal Way community will greatly miss Eddie. There is a picture that will forever be fixed in our minds of him standing on the beach on a recent trip that he took to Hawaii. The picture is shot from behind and Eddie, with his hands in his pockets, is
looking out over the Pacific to a beautiful sunset. This is Eddie at his finest — taking it all in and loving life. “He came back from that trip energized and ready to enjoy life,” Alcott recalled. “No one knows when our time on Mothership Earth will be due up. I only hope that my life will be as fulfilling as what Eddie showed us his was to him.”

ways on the rest my community. I, and the majority of voters, decided that decades of marijuana prohibition worked as well as alcohol prohibition; a system that turned citizens who only mildly harmed themselves into criminals and opened the door to a pervasive unregulated and untaxed black market administered by homicidal organized crime organizations. It was time for change. And the council’s response? Mealy-mouthed platitudes about values and image. Is it the contention these city council members have cornered the market on values and, without them, the city’s voters would elect to descend into self-destruction? They’re saving the city’s residents from itself — at least in their minds. With more than two-thirds of Americans living in a state with legalized marijuana for recreational or medical purposes, the council’s actions to ban both recreational or medical stores in the city looks more like a backwards, quixotic crusade than a prudent action by level-headed caretakers of the community’s aims and vision for itself. Not only have they voted to create a hardship for residents in seeking access to markets they voted for, but they have also created a hardship for their residents in accessing needed medicine by banning medical marijuana stores despite it being approved by Washington voters more than 16 years ago. I’m left wondering if callousness to the suffering of others is also considered a “value.” I ask that all readers of the Mirror who oppose the council’s decision to subvert the democratic process to join me in voicing their displeasure at next Tuesday’s meeting, when it again
Voice your displeasure of council’s ban on pot stores At the last council meeting, I sat and observed in stunned silence as a handful of individuals yielded to their personal preferences and not their duty to represent their constituents. More than two years ago, voters by a wide margin both across the state and in the city voted to approve Initiative 502, which legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes and directed the state to regulate its production and distribution. Despite this unambiguous statement from the people they represent, the Federal Way City Council has felt it appropriate to usurp the public’s right to self-governance and ban retail marijuana stores in the city. Western states, including Washington, established initiative systems to combat the political elite’s intransigence and the lack of responsiveness, as seen on the East Coast. More than a century ago Washington voters overwhelmingly chose to empower themselves and future Washingtonians to take an active role in determining the future of their state. Despite, and perhaps in spite of, the will of their constituents, five of our City Council members effectively chose to nullify their votes due to a personal aversion to marijuana. I share their aversion, but don’t confine it to only marijuana. I’ve never consumed marijuana, nor have I smoked a cigarette, nor drank a beer, but don’t wish to push my teetotaling

previous position of opposing the ban. But he switched sides, providing the crucial fifth vote. Ferrell is in an awkward political position. He switched parties to become a Democrat when he ran for mayor, and the Democrats have been strong in support of marijuana legalization. Also, Ferrell has upset some key Democrats by, among other things, giving the key to the city to a Republican candidate for the state Legislature. Had he waited until after the election, it might not have been a problem. But right now it is a serious problem. Additionally, Ferrell was not a leader supporting marijuana. That’s unsurprising since he is a former county prosecutor. But he is up for re-election in two years and needs to show that he listens to the voters. Honda and Duclos are up for election this year and want to follow the voters’ wishes. Celski isn’t running for reelection and most City Hall watchers don’t expect Burbidge to run again in two years. They can vote however they want with no political repercussions. Democrat Assefa-Dawson supported some Republican candidates last year, which provided an opening for fellow Democrat Anthony Murietta to run against her. Marijuana provides a key difference between the two candidates for voters to consider. Maloney isn’t up this year and Moore has withdrawn from
running for the Legislature, so neither face immediate voter reaction. Both are Republicans and their party generally opposes marijuana anyway. Both Moore and Maloney have commented that they believe if a vote were held today, legalization would fail. However, others argue that, unlike golf, we don’t get mulligans and the majority voters’ wishes are how we decide elections in a democracy. From Ferrell’s point of view, if he vetoes the council’s ban, he keeps faith with the voters and his new party, the Democrats. And if the council overrides his veto and the ban is upheld, he may also think he wins again, because that is closer to his personal belief and it helps him with some conservative voters. Right? Wrong! Not only would that look like duplicity to the voters, but any mayor whose veto is overridden looks weak as a leader. Generally, it isn’t good for the city’s top elected official, who also has aspirations for higher office, to look weak to 53 percent of his own voters, let alone the rest of the region’s voters. If Ferrell does veto the action, it becomes critical that his action is not overridden. He needs a win in the “listening to voters” department. He ran on a platform of wanting a public vote on the Performing Arts and Conference Center. The issue divided the community for a decade and still does because many voters feel they never got their chance to vote on such a big issue. Many voters feel ignored and left out

Richard Champion, Federal Way
Smoke weed all you want, councilwoman says I voted to ban recreational marijuana businesses from the city of Federal Way because of a host of issues that have not yet been resolved by the state and federal governments. But smoking marijuana in the city is not part of the ban. Under Initiative 502, residents over 21-years-old are legally permitted to own and use marijuana within city limits, provided they adhere to the rules of the law, such as owning no more than one ounce at a time and using it in non-public places. There has been a lot of confusion about what I-502 provides for, leading to a great deal of community debate. Some people believe this is prohibition. It is not. It is legal to smoke recreational marijuana in the city. Some people believe the vote was idealogical. For me, it was not. I voted based on pragmatic reasons, which I list below. Some people believe this could be an undue hardship on those seeking to purchase recreational marijuana. Because of the locations of the zones that have been identified for these businesses, a good portion of the population is probably located closer to recreational stores in other cities than they would be if Federal Way were to have them here.

because once in office, Ferrell never put a resolution in front of the council to call for a public vote and allow the voters to put closure to the issue. And if Ferrell was willing to look out for voters, he should have chosen the performing arts center public vote, not marijuana. If Ferrell loses this issue, rather than solve his political dilemma, it actually multiplies his problems. He also can’t just let the council action on the ban stand without his signature or he also looks weak. Ferrell only wins if he can find one of the five council members who will not vote to override his veto. If it passes 4-3, Ferrell’s veto stands and he wins. Every mayor faces a “must win” event early in their tenure. This is such a moment for Ferrell. Establishing his leadership for the long run is that important. Some council members are gaining a reputation for ignoring the voters and feel justified in setting the election results aside on this issue, as they they think voters might feel differently now than they did last fall. They believe an election “do over” would show that. Interesting idea. Assuming they don’t want to redo their own elections, but really want to demonstrate that they do listen to, and trust voters, then let’s put their theory to the test. Put both marijuana and the performing arts center on the fall ballot at the same time. Then follow the voters’ wishes. What do you think the result would be?

State auditor Troy Kelley indicted on 10 charges
This conduct is the basis for count one of the indictment: Possession and concealment of stolen property. When the amount withheld by title companies became the subject of civil litigation, the indictment alleges Kelley obstructed the litigation, repeatedly lying in a declaration and in depositions while under oath. For this conduct, Kelley is charged with four counts of false declarations and one count of attempted obstruction of a civil lawsuit. Further, the indictment alleges Kelley failed to pay federal taxes and obstructed the IRS in its efforts to collect taxes from him. He was charged with corrupt interference with Internal Revenue laws and two counts of filing false income tax returns. He was also charged with making false statements to Internal Revenue Service agents who questioned him about his scheme in April 2013. “Today’s action demonstrates our collective efforts to enforce the law,” stated special agent in charge Teri Alexander of IRS Criminal Investigation. “IRS [Criminal Investigation] is committed to unraveling the complex financial transactions individuals might use to attempt to conceal

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the average person throws away 70 pounds of clothing per year; up to 95 percent of the used clothes, shoes and linens thrown in the garbage could have been reused or recycled. To give new life to these materials and decrease the amount of textiles that end up in landfills, the Threadcycle campaign is partnering with nine organizations and businesses to educate the public.

Police recognize volunteers FROM STAFF REPORTS
National Volunteer Week (April 12-18) is meant to inspire, recognize, and encourage volunteerism. The Federal Way Police Department looks forward to this week each year as an opportunity to say thank you and show appreciation to the nearly 50 police department volunteers by hosting a luncheon at City Hall. These volunteers put in thousands of hours each year helping to provide a higher level of service to the Federal Way community — everything from fingerprinting to picking up shopping carts to greeting and assisting visitors at City Hall. Once a year during National Volunteer Week, the police department holds a luncheon to show appreciation and recognize individual achievements. This year two volunteers, Don Elya and Michael Redling, were awarded the Community Policing Partnership Award for reaching 500 hours of
volunteer service. For additional information regarding the many volunteer opportunities with the Federal Way Police Department, contact volunteer coordinator Laurie Jackson at laurie.jackson@ cityoffederalway.com or 253-835-6788.

Todd Beamer softball closing in on postseason again
the teams from the last two years. Their two losses have come to Tahoma and Woodinville this season. Those teams also have one thing in common: They’re both undefeated. The two losses came by
scores of 4-3 and 4-2, making it hard to believe that the Titans aren’t capable of winning against the top competition in the state. Beyond those two games, the Titans’ wins have all come by at least three runs, besides a 10-9 win over a
feisty Federal Way team on April 7 and Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Decatur. In that time, they have shut out four opponents. Rogers has a 7-2 record on the season as a pitcher as of April 14. She also currently has an ERA hovering
near 2.5 and over 50 strikeouts on the season. Rogers also is currently batting over .400 and leads the team in RBIs. Jourdin Hering, daughter of Beamer head coach Brian Hering, is second on the team in RBIs and has a batting average near .600. Collectively, the team is batting well over .300. The team will face each South Puget Sound League North school once more to close the season. They completed the second of their two games against Kentlake for the year on Thursday, after the Mirror’s publishing deadline. While every game is important, the April 28 rematch against Tahoma might determine the division and give another glimpse of just how far these girls can go. The Titans will take the field again on April 21 at home against Kentridge, whom they beat 7-4 on March 30.
coach at Todd Beamer High School on April 15. Brilhante previously coached the Titans from 2008-2010. The Titans reached the state playoffs for the first
time under Brilhante in 2008-09. He resigned after the 2009-10 season due to personal reasons. Brilhante takes over for Winston Bell, who helped lead the Titans to the state
semifinals in 2014. That team would have the highest placing in school history after finishing fifth in 4A. Beamer finished 12-12 with a 6-2 record in league play this season.
They placed second in the SPSL Northwest. The Titans made it to the West Central District Tournament this past season where they were eliminated by Bellarmine Prep.

A
year after finishing 12-5 and earning their second trip to the state playoffs, the Todd Beamer softball team is looking like a solid pick to make it three years straight. The Titans cruised to a 12-0 win over Kent-Meridian on Tuesday bringing their record to 8-2 overall and 7-1 in league play. The game was well in hand for Beamer quickly as they jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first inning. Starting junior pitcher Kenzie Palmer struck out five of the six batters she faced. Senior Madison Rogers added another three strikeouts in relief. The game ended after the fifth inning due to the mercy rule. As the Titans close in on the halfway mark of their season, they look like a team ready to go further than

Four Federal Way schools were among a total of 401 schools that earned Washington Achievement Awards for 2014. Awardwinning schools were notified last week via email by state Superintendent Randy Dorn and state board of education chair Isabel Muñoz-Colón. The Washington Achievement Award recipients are the highest performing schools in the state based on three years of academic information as reported in the Washington Achievement Index. The index was approved for use in 2014 by the State Board of Education. Schools were recognized for being top performers in six categories, including overall excellence, high progress, reading growth, math growth, extended graduation rate (only awarded to high and comprehensives schools) and English language acquisition.
In the Federal Way school district, Decatur High School was recognized for high progress. Three other Federal Way schools were recognized for English language acquisition, including Mirror Lake Elementary, Nautilus K-8 School and
Olympic View Elementary. The award-winning schools will be honored during an award ceremony on April 28 at Spanaway Lake High School in Bethel School District, itself an award winner for “high progress.”

Pole Fitness moves location, business in full swing BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
ina Morelli grips a pole and is quickly upside down as she climbs the 11-foot apparatus. The 44-year-old overturns her body, making it perpendicular to the pole and parallel to the floor, with upper arm strength that would make even the most muscular of body builders envious. Morelli, a former Deja Vu exotic dancer, is in her natural element — the studio of her business, Pole Fitness Northwest. Going strong eight years in Federal Way, Morelli moved her business a few blocks south on Pacific Highway. Her new studio is now located at 30315 Pacific Highway S., Suite B in Federal Way and offers 15 poles instead of 12. Each golden pole is 11 feet tall instead of the restricting eight feet her old studio once had. “Location is key for business, right?” Morelli said. “Pacific Highway is a busy
street. It’s halfway to Seattle, halfway to Tacoma, kind of right in the middle.” Although Morelli commutes from Maple Valley, she said she’s had students travel from as far as Gig Harbor and Bellingham — a vast difference from when she began Pole Fitness. Interest in getting fit with pole dancing is at an all time high “now more than ever,” Morelli said. “When I first started, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t make any money for, like, three years,” she said. “It was so taboo. People were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s teaching people how to strip.’” She even had a selfproclaimed born-again Christian protest her business in the parking lot for a week when her business was new. “She had this bullhorn and all this stuff taped to her car saying I was teaching little kids how to be strippers,” Morelli recalled. But that’s exactly what Pole Fitness doesn’t do. “It’s funny because people see it visually and

Tina Morelli, a former exotic dancer who owns Pole Fitness Northwest, shows off her moves on a pole at her business, which recently relocated a few blocks south on Pacific Highway. RAECHEL DAWSON, the Mirror they go, ‘that looks so easy, I could do that,’” she said. “But when they leave, they always say, ‘I have a total new respect for strippers. I thought their job was easy.’” With the motto, “You are the weight,” a typical fitness session includes 15 minutes of sit-ups and push-ups on an exercise ball, an hour on the pole and lunges at the end. Morelli said the hour on the pole is a full body work out and newcomers are often sent home with Epsom salt. The workout is open to just about every woman age 18 and older and can be modified for an individual based on weight, age or whether that person has a body injury. As one of the first pole dancing fitness studios to open in Washington, Morelli wondered if the workouts would actually provide results. “I had a student who was almost 400 pounds, she was 372 and she liked coming but her husband had lost his job and she couldn’t afford to come,” she said. Morelli made her a deal: If she attended Pole Fitness three times a week and let Morelli measure her weight loss, the student could attend for free. The woman lost almost 60 pounds in six months but had to quit after she got pregnant. Helper and student Lisa Blessing has also reclaimed her health by losing about 35 pounds. Blessing suffered from an aneurysm in 2008 and had to relearn how to walk and talk. After starting in February 2012, she described the workouts at Pole Fitness as “total
therapy.” Morelli said Pole Fitness is different from other studios because she doesn’t have weight restrictions and allows students to progress through the various levels once she sees they’ve accomplished each trick. “People can come one time a month, one time a year, whenever they want, the classes never expire,” she said. “You don’t have to get through five weeks of something and then move to the next thing, I feel like if you’ve got five tricks we do in that first class down, we’ll take you to the next level. Everybody’s different.” Although some may be more experienced than others, she said it takes about six months of going twice a week to progress to the highest level. The levels include beginner, intermediate and advanced. She also offers private instruction and extra practice called “play time.” Packages are between $125 to $180 for four lessons, however, new students can pay $215 for unlimited monthly lessons at all levels. New student pricing also includes discounts for various packages. Morelli was able to start her own business after she won a $20,000 prize and did a nationwide tour for the Pole Olympics. Each club she went to paid about $3,000 a night. Every two days she would move to another club, which added up to about 60 clubs that year. “They said we’ll pay for you to go around the country as a feature performer so I did that for an entire year,” she said. “They paid for my nanny and my
daughter to go.” With nowhere to spend the money, she saved. When she was done for the year, she came back and bought two houses and a studio. Prior to working at Deja Vu, she worked at Little Darling’s downtown. Often, her coworkers asked her to teach them tricks and, soon, patrons did too. Morelli said pole dancing is on its way to becoming an Olympic sport but in order for the Olympic Academy to recognize it as a sport, it has to be considered one for 12 years. So far, it’s only been five years. “Maybe in 2020,” Morelli said, noting performers on America’s Got Talent often perpetuate the negative stigma. “People don’t want this to be stripping but then they go on that show and dress like a stripper.” With one instructor out of town for the military and another in training, Morelli keeps busy during the week with classes and on the weekend with private parties. “Bachelorette, birthday, we have a party almost every weekend,” Morelli said. “We’re just a supportive environment. I want everybody to know it’s fun, don’t be scared.” And even though Pole Fitness is all about fitness, Morelli believes her workouts bring everyone out of their shell after a couple of classes. “I think there’s a little stripper in every woman,” she said, “You just got to bring it out of her.” For more information, visit www.polefitnessnorthwest.com.

Comfort Inn celebrates $1.4 million major renovation BY ANDREW FICKES For the Mirror
H
otel guests at the Comfort Inn in Federal Way, 31622 Pacific Highway S., will have much to love when they return for a night or an extended stay. The four-story, 117-room hotel, is on target to complete a $1.4 million top-tobottom renovation. “This hotel is built to cater to sports teams and groups,” said owner and operator Richard Song, who purchased the property July 1 of last year. “We would also like to cater to the corporate clients.” Renovations included new tile flooring in all bathrooms; wallpaper in the common areas, corridors and rooms; new carpeting throughout; complete renovations to the lobby, breakfast buffet area, swimming pool and hot tub. “We went above and beyond and purchased the pillow top mattress covers, the high speed Internet and good television packages,” Song said. All rooms come complete with a 40-inch flat screen television, microwave and refrigerator. “We’re one of the most popular hotels for sports teams,” Song said. “We have all the top amenities. We’re newly renovated but rates are a lot lower, so we’re more economical. Teams are usually on a budget, and they like us a lot. We provide a full complimentary hot breakfast.” Sunday through Thursday corporate guests will benefit
from the two computer stations, faxing and copying. There is also an 874-squarefoot meeting space with new recessed lighting, new projector and screen, new wallpaper and carpeting and new granite countertops and cabinetry. For guests’ convenience, there is also a laundry room on site and fitness gym. Jessica Christensen, assistant general manager, said corporate guests will also like the additional outlets built into the lobby tables to power up their laptops. High speed Internet and Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Hotel guests have a variety of room configurations to choose from. These comprise of five handicap king rooms; 10 king rooms; 23 king rooms with a pull-out couch; six king rooms with a jetted tub; 72 queen rooms; and three two-room suites that include a king bed and pull-out couch. For a king or two-queen room, rates start at $104 and vary depending on the season. Rates for the twosuite room range from $129$179, depending on the time of year. Room discounts are available. Christensen and sales manager Samantha Downing are excited to show off the new look. “(Richard Song) put a lot of thought into this and a lot of money,” Christensen said. “And we still have more to put in.” Song said the remodel is about 95 percent done. Some remaining bathrooms are planned to have granite countertops and framed

ribbon cutting from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on Thursday, April 23. Mayor Jim Ferrell, Federal Way Chief of Police Andy Hwang and other business owners and hoteliers are expected to attend. Appetizers, raffle drawings and hotel tours will be included.

Federal Way students shine at state science fair FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools students from Todd Beamer High School, Federal Way High School, Thomas Jefferson High School and TAF Academy participated in the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair on March 28 in Bremerton, and all brought home top honors in their categories. Todd Beamer’s Rosemichelle Marzan and Thomas Jefferson’s Hyrum Bock teamed up with a third student from Snohomish High School to take first place in the physics and astronomy category with the project, “Optical Ion Reflector: Investigating the elastic collision relationship between ions and fusor chamber walls during nuclear fusion in order to enhance neutron output by focusing a plasma beam.” Their accomplishment earned each of the students a $20,000 four-year renewable college scholarship, Mathematica software and an all-expenses paid trip to represent the state of Washington at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair May 10-15 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Beamer students Madison Rogers and Julia Kim teamed up with Federal Way High School’s Jack Bull to also take first place in their category for a project
involving boron neutron capture therapy, a cancer treatment used to treat glioblastomas and malignant melanoma. They each won Mathematica software and a free quarter at Evergreen State College. Thomas Jefferson’s Brianna Ashing and Beamer’s Kevin Lee took first place in their category with their project, “Multiple Gas Reactor.” Lee won first place in his individual category as well by creating a programmable thermo-nuclear reactor. Darryl Worcester took first in his category with the project, “Parallel Ring Poisser;” Bradley Hoefel did the same with his project, “Utilizing Web Services in Industrial Automation and Controls.” Hoefel and Worcester are both Beamer students. In addition, TAF Academy sixth-grade students brought home the Washington State Science Fair Overall School Award. Many, if not all, of these students are part of the Northwest Nuclear Consortium founded by Carl Greninger, a Federal Way resident.

Federal Way Public Schools is seeking feedback from families
Left to right, Madison Rogers and Julia Kim (Todd Beamer High School) and Jack Bull (Federal Way High School) at the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair. Courtesy of Federal Way Public Schools
through a family partnership survey that runs through April 24. The survey asks parents about parent engagement, school resources, influence on school decision-making and other key topics. Interim Superintendent Sally McLean said, “Every family has a voice in Federal Way Public Schools’ ongoing pursuit of educational excellence. Engaging in an ongoing two-way dialogue is critical as we work together to provide our students with the best possible education.” The survey is accessible via the district’s Your Voice Counts page at www.fwps.org/yourvoice. The survey can be taken in English, Spanish, Russian, Korean and
Vietnamese. All feedback will be confidential and anonymous to district staff, so parents can feel comfortable answering openly. Results will be delivered collectively only, and no individual data or identifying information will be in any report. Once the survey closes on April 24, the district will share the findings.
Federal Way High School changes FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools sent a letter to Federal Way High School families and neighbors
this week, notifying them of changes at the school that begin on Monday. On Monday, April 20, most traffic to and from Federal Way High School will be routed onto 304th Street. Drivers will not be able to drive onto campus from 308th Street, except to park in the Memorial Field lot. These changes directly impact student and staff parking and student drop-off locations. Starting on Monday, Lot D (between the school and Memorial Field) and the small gravel lot on the south side of 308th Street are no longer available for student, staff or visitor parking. These parking areas are needed for staging construction equipment during the construction of the south wing of the new high school. Students will have two options for parking on campus: The new lot on 304th Street (the site of the old swimming pool) or the gravel parking lot south of Memorial Stadium. Staff can park in the lot north of the portables and also in the lot on 304th Street. To drop off students in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon, parents and guardians will now enter campus from 304th Street. For more information on how to access Federal Way High School during construction, visit www.fwps.org, hover over the district tab, select highlights, then construction updates.

The victim returned home after staying at a friend’s house and found that his house was broken into. Among the things missing were a Eureka vacuum, checkbooks and $3,000 worth of clothing. The burglar used a sliding door on the second-floor balcony to gain entrance to the home. The door was left open a couple inches to allow fresh air in.

Woman gets too friendly: At 4:31 p.m. on April 9 in the 32900 block of 19th Place S., police received a radio call from a male who said a female, who is an acquaintance, punched him on his shoulder for no reason. She said she was sorry then gave the male a hug. The female then kissed the male on the neck, patted him on his buttocks and walked away.

he Federal Way Public Schools board of education signed new superintendent Tammy Campbell’s employment contract at a school board meeting on Tuesday. The agreement outlines that Campbell’s term, starting on July 1, will end on June 30, 2018. She will be paid $225,000 a year with opportunities for a raise increase on a yearly basis. In comparison, former Superintendent Rob Neu’s base salary was $240,000 for the 2013-14 school year. This was a $42,000 raise from his base salary of $198,000 he made for the two years prior to that. “The board of directors has come to agreement on a contract with Dr. Tammy Campbell, our top choice for superintendent,” said school board president Geoffery McAnalloy. “As a board, we feel very confident we have the best person for the job.

pet of the week Henrietta
is an 8-year-old female cat, tortiseshell, domestic short hair (ID No. A450155). This beautiful feline likes to lounge around her home, oftentimes in front of windows watching the world go by outside. She can also be playful as a kitten, leaping and running after her toys, especially her feather-on-a-stick toy. Henrietta loves her treats and her people, and will greet family and strangers at the door. She did have her left eye removed due to cancer, but it healed nicely and she’s doing great. While not cuddly, she will lie next to you on the couch and may just sleep with you at night. She won’t do what she doesn’t want to, so she would do best in a home without small children. Given patience and love, Henrietta will reward you with her own love and growing trust in return. You can find out more about Henrietta on her Pet Finder profile at www. petfinder.com/petdetail/31920742/.
