Mark Freitas won’t seek re-election
Murder suspect released, case dismissed

King County prosecutors recently dismissed murder suspect Bernard Bellerouche’s case after attorneys determined they couldn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bellerouche was responsible for the May 2014 shootings that killed two Federal Way men. Bellerouche was released from jail after being locked up for a year on unlawful possession of a firearm and first-degree murder charges. King County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Dan Donohoe said prosecuting attorneys believe this case warranted a dismissal because of some information that came to their attention after Bellerouche was charged. “There’s still an ongoing investigation, so I think we’re going to hold off on elaborating at this time,” Donohoe said when asked what that information was. With a $2 million bail because of Bellerouche’s criminal history, the then-28-year-old faced accusations that he shot and killed 27-year-old Demario Washington at the Silver Shadow Apartments in Federal Way on May 7, 2014. Federal Way police believed he was also con[ more SUSPECT, page 3 ]

serve the community of Federal Way, Des Moines, unincorporated King County for the past 17-and-a-half years,” Freitas said in an interview. “I’ve always done the best I could to provide good fire service for the community.” When asked why he decided not to run for re-election during this
November general election, he simply said, “It’s time.” When he joined the fire commission, he had many ideas and plans to provide better fire service to the community, he said, and since then the department has gone from a Class III [ more FREITAS, page 3 ]
300 kids storm the Sound for salmon, science BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com
Most of the fourth and fifth grade students in Kristin Puu’s class at Panther Lake Elementary enjoy eating salmon. During an art project at the West Hylebos Wetlands Park on Monday, the students learned how to protect salmon to maintain an abundant supply, as 300 Federal Way elementary students gathered to release salmon and learn about science and the environment. During the art activity, Bert the Salmon interacted with students, helping them select caps from over a dozen tubs that held various colors and sizes. “How many of you like to eat salmon,” said Skyler McVaugh, a water quality intern for the city’s Surface Water Management Division, as the majority of students raised their hands. “We’re making sure there’ll be plenty of Berts left to eat by protecting what they eat.” McVaugh instructed students to use caulking guns to place adhesive material onto the back of the caps and place the caps onto a large rainbow mural. “These caps cannot be recycled and, more often than not, they end up in streams, which they become food for animals,” McVaugh said, noting the city may hang the mural at City Hall. “So we’re trying to keep them out of the streams, out of the landfills by making an exciting, cool art project out of it.” Throughout May, over 900 Federal Way students from 26 elementary, middle and high schools will flock to the West Hylebos Wetlands Park.

about the impacts of surface water pollution and what they can do to help prevent it. The program began in 2012, when the school district and city obtained a $73,000 grant from the Department of Ecology. During the first year, 13 schools participated. “It’s a nice celebration and culmination of the students’ work,” said Megan Walker, the school district’s K-12 science specialist, noting the district is working on integrating the salmon program more into its science curriculum. “I think it’s really valuable for them to actually release the salmon into the streams, see where their salmon are going and understand that piece of the life cycle and see how that all works.” During the event, students stood on the bridge over the Hylebos Creek as city staff released the salmon fry from plastic cups into the water that will eventually carry them to Puget Sound. “We’ve been learning how they move upstream to spawn and that it’s a life cycle of where they get eaten or survive,” said Panther Lake student Terra Ghilerick. She said her favorite part about helping to raise the salmon inside her classroom was seeing the salmon hatch. “It was amazing,” Terra recalled. Her classmate Justin Nguyen pointed out the salmon’s odds of completing the life cycle. “Only like two out of 3-5,000 salmon that are laid survive to actually become spawners and lay more eggs,” he said. “That means that spawners actually lay up to three to five thousand eggs at once, which is probably like — too much to count.” Justin enjoyed learning about the various stages that salmon go through. “They’re just an egg, then they still have their yolk sac to feed them, and they go to fry and that’s where they start loosing their yolk sac,” he noted. “When they start becoming adults, they go back to fresh water and lay eggs.” During the event, members of the Federal Way Historical Society taught students about some of Federal Way’s history, including the restoration of the David T. Denny Cabin. In addition, Mayor Jim Ferrell addressed students during their lunchtime.

CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, the Mirror Students also got a lesson on sea creatures, including whales, sea anemone, sea urchins, hermit crabs, seals and moon snails from the Highline Marine Science and Technology Center staff. Eugene Disney, an education coordinator for the center, held up a moon snail as Woodmont K-8 students touched its slimy shell. He said the moon snail is the largest predatory snail in Puget Sound, using its radula to scrape the top of other shells until the snail bores a hole in the shell and eats its prey. The moon snail is four times bigger than his shell, so when it’s in danger “stuffing himself back into that tiny shell is really hard to do.” Therefore, he asked students to promise not to poke a moon snail until it wants to go back inside its shell. Disney said the Highline Marine Science and Technology Center’s main goal is to foster a sense of marine stewardship within coming generations. “So showing them all these awesome animals that live right in their backyard is super important and if there’s even one kid that says, ‘Man, marine science is so awesome, that’s what I want to do,’ then we’ve done our job,” he said.

Marine Hills Garden Club to dedicate Blue Star Marker to Federal Way BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
I
t took three years worth of planning, donations and team effort but this Saturday the Marine Hills Garden Club will finally dedicate a Blue Star Marker to the city of Federal Way. “It’s been a labor of love,” said Penny Merriman, the Marine Hills Garden Club president. “I’m guessing many of these women who have donated lots of hours have veterans in their families. When we decided to do this, everyone was really excited.” The garden club will donate the Blue Star Marker at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 16 at Celebration Park. May 16 is Armed Forces Day and the marker will honor past, present and future armed forces. Former club president

Gabriel was at the Mariposa Apartments in Federal Way at the time of the shooting and was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he later died. There was also speculation that Bellerouche was responsible for the shooting injuries of a 28-year-old Des Moines man on May 12, 2014.

to a Class II department and has increased firefighters, with help from resident firefighters, from two firefighters to three full-time firefighters on a truck. “We had strategic reserves, we paid cash, we saved and we paid cash for our vehicles and repairs and maintenance and things like that,” he said. “We’ve done well to serve the community.” Freitas said he always tried to provide an atmosphere for people to vote based on research and education. He thinks the greatest challenges for the fire department in the future are the same challenges for any type of governmental service, which includes ensuring there’s an educated electorate in addition to acknowledgement of the service they have to provide to the community. “Talking with the constituents or the special interest groups allows you to make better decisions and the openness with
Police identified Bellerouche after interviews with “numerous witnesses,” according to charging documents. U.S. Marshals found Bellerouche in Kennewick on May 24, 2014, allegedly attempting to flee. He pleaded not guilty to the charges on June 12, 2014 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman with the Federal Way Police Department, said
which it happens is the key to success,” Freitas said. “This government, this fire department belongs to the public and they will make intelligent decisions and it’s critical that, it’s just critical. It’s their department, it’s their money, it’s their special interest.” Freitas said he has a lot of good memories with the fire commission as the board hired chiefs, merged departments, got public
recognition, insurance recognition and helped labor to do their job. For his last year as a commissioner, Freitas said he will continue to call it the way he sees it by listening to all sides of an issue. “That’s all I ever promised to do,” he said. Freitas views his life after the commission as “returning back to the community” when his term expires at the end of 2015.
“[Penny] wanted it in a recognizable place,” Celski said, noting that Blue Star Markers are often found on freeways, cemeteries and parks. “I’m real proud of the Marine Hills Garden Club for joining this effort.” Celski, an Army veteran, said the marker is important because it recognizes the sacrifice armed forces have made not just for their service but for their families as well. “It’s like with my son and daughter-in-law, she had to stay home by herself while pregnant, which is not uncommon for people in the military defending our country,” Celski said, referring to his son who recently got back from serving overseas. Merriman said Celski will help unveil the Blue Star Marker at the ceremony, which is expected to draw about 100-150
people. Angel, the current Chinook District director for the 10 garden clubs Marine Hills Garden Club is a part of, will give a speech at the event followed by song “America the Beautiful,” a Veterans of Foreign Wars Color Guard and Todd Beamer Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps presentation and refreshments served by Girl Scouts with Boy Scouts also in attendance. June Willard, the state’s Blue Marker chairman, will also speak at the event. The Blue Star Marker originated after World War II when national garden clubs were looking for ways to honor the nation’s service men and women. In 1944, the Garden Club of New Jersey president and a Roadside chairman came up with the idea to plant 1,000 Dogwood trees along five
police department’s goal in every criminal case submitted to the prosecutor’s office is to have a successful prosecution. She said the department submitted a “complete and thorough investigation” recommending the first-degree murder charge against Bellerouche but recognizes the “delicate balance between establishing probable cause” and the tremendous task of a successful prosecution. “The Federal Way Police Department With a background as a parent, soccer coach, former policeman, former Army officer, Planning Commission member, school district committee(s) member, Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce chair, Sister City Association president, condominium board owner president and current real estate broker, Freitas said he plans on staying active in Federal Way.
miles of highway, which the Legislature designated as Blue Star Drive. After the National Garden Clubs adopted the program in 1945, by 1951 the mission had spread and finally included all men and women who served, were serving or would serve in the armed forces. Now, there are close to 2,500 Blue Star Markers in the United States, with 45 in Washington state, according to the Marine Hills Garden Club. The local club meets the third Tuesday of every month at Foundation House. In addition to their plant sale, they plant greenery at the Federal Way Historical Society, donate vegetables to Nautilus Elementary and a local food bank, and donate scholarship money to go to a college student who is going into the horticulture field.
strongly believes Bernard Bellerouche committed this crime and the department will continue to work this case in an effort to identify additional witnesses to support the established facts,” Schrock said. “We encourage anyone that has information pertaining to this case contact Federal Way police.” Because the investigation is ongoing, Schrock said the department will not elaborate on specific details of this case.
He is also not planning to file for any open candidate position elsewhere in the city. “I’ve always stepped up and tried to step up where some skills and talents might help the community,” Freitas said. “Make it the old motto from the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, ‘We have it all in Federal Way, make it a good place to live, work and play.’”
Freitas has worked in Federal Way since 1977 and moved to the city in 1985 to raise a family with his wife. So far, Jerry Galland and Roger Flygare have filed for Position 2 on the Fire Commission, Freitas’s seat, while commissioner John Rickert, whose term also expires at the end of the year, is currently running unopposed. Candidates have until this Friday to file for the election in King County.

hat would you put in a time capsule to be uncovered in 100 years? I’ve given this some thought as it is an item on my bucket list. The possibilities include: 1. A written ode to cats and their intrinsic value to society. 2. A Super Bowl program to illustrate the 21st century creation of a new feasting holiday rivaled only by Christmas and Thanksgiving. 3. A copy of George W. Bush’s Yale report card as proof that our nation elected a president with a 2.0 grade point average. Anything is possible in America. 4. A Charlie Sheen bowling shirt as an explanation for Adonis DNA. 5. A student loan bill to show how we encumber our children with debt and then offer few or no living wage jobs when they graduate. 6. An X-ray of Kim Kardashian’s butt. 7. A copy of the Baltimore Catechism as evidence of a pre-computer era when people could and did memorize an entire book, word for word, one book for each grade, first through eighth. 8. A written salute to David Letterman: “I wouldn’t give his troubles to a monkey on a rock” 9. A reminder from former City Councilman Joel Marks that there is something or someone buried beneath the old Federal Way Airport runway. 10. A Starbucks coffee card along with a Microsoft Xbox.

Seattle Times went too far to try and subvert legal system Innocent until proven guilty. Do we still really believe that? Or is that an outdated concept of a simpler era? Once charged, is someone so guilty in the court of public opinion that they should lose their rights before we know all the facts? A better question might be, have we become a mob mentality culture, and did the Seattle Times go too far in encouraging legislative intervention to remove Troy Kelley as state auditor before his trial even starts? Kelley’s trial was scheduled to start in June, but has been rescheduled to start in January. Kelley asked for the new trial date but so did the federal prosecutors who want to disqualify Kelley’s attorney. The judge set the new date. Politically, voters are not very forgiving. Kelly’s political career is likely over no matter what happens at trial. It is hard to rebound from weeks of front page negative news coverage. And Kelley hasn’t made many friends in Olympia. That state elected officials, including the governor and attorney general, would recommend Kelley resign isn’t surprising. Kelley probably should have resigned. It was good advice. But he chose not to. He decided to fight the charges, as is his right. But rather than allow the legal process to unfold as it should, as most people would want if it were themselves on trial, the behavior of many politicians became unseemly. Some legislators
have been openly gleeful regarding Kelley’s plight and searching for ways to impeach him, even though Kelley hasn’t been charged with a crime or conduct relating to his public office. Some legislators invited Kelley to attend a committee meeting knowing it would make him look bad when he didn’t. They also knew he couldn’t and wouldn’t attend. Kelley likely perceived it was a setup to ask questions that could be used against him. This is hardball, Olympiastyle, and the questions could have been framed to see if Kelley would commit perjury. Kelley is entitled to avoid self incrimination. And he would be foolish to help others who want to make themselves look good while making him look bad. He was wise to not take the bait. Unsurprisingly, the press demanded he comment. Again he had absolutely nothing to gain by talking to the press. Anything he said would have been providing his opponents ammunition. Would you talk to the press under those circumstances? That a publicity-seeking former legislator would mount a recall effort was not surprising either, nor was it a surprise when the allegations didn’t pass judicial muster and were denied. But the tipping point of behavior in this Bob Roegner

amounts of hypoglycemia. The “munchies” effect of smoking cannabis is a sign of this adrenal disruption. In a double-blind study it was found that THC (the main active chemical in marijuana) could be used successfully as a “hypnotic” in cases of insomnia. That should give us a clue. Marijuana puts you to sleep rather than elevating consciousness. Many studies are coming out now about the effect of marijuana on the brain, especially the developing brains of our children. While THC and other chemicals in marijuana can
reduce pain and nausea, they do this by destroying very sensitive brain cells related to perception and coordination. The drug is highly toxic and literally destroys the brain. Given the importance of brain health for concentration, meditation and spiritual growth, marijuana use threatens the integrity of all aspects of our health and spiritual well-being. The symptoms of THC brain damage include distorted perception, impaired coordination, difficulty in thinking and problem solving and memory difficulty. These are short-term side
effects, but long-term marijuana use has been shown to increase the activity of the stress response and to alter the activity of dopamine containing nerve cells. In short, this diminishes motivation and perseverance in work, relationships and on the spiritual path. While some people mistakenly believe this to be a more evolved state of nonattachment or emptiness, it is in reality “a numbness to life that inhibits our full expression,” according to Gabriel Cousens, MD, in a blog post about health and wellness. Cannabis smoke also
contains 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke, Cousens said. Studies are ongoing and more data is coming out on the toxicity of marijuana smoke. Marijuana legalization and pot shop proponents deny the health harms of marijuana just like the tobacco industry did, which brings to mind the first advertisements peddling cigarettes. They featured doctors endorsing tobacco as a health tonic! Denying harm was a tactic used by tobacco companies for 50 years to keep people smoking — and buying —cigarettes.

debate may have been an editorial opinion in the Seattle Times on May 4 that recommended the Legislature amend the law to vacate Kelley’s office because he took “a leave of absence” to prepare for and attend the trial and defend himself. While the Times did suggest a narrow interpretation, it was still wrong to try and subvert our legal system by legislative maneuver just because someone “may” be guilty or “appears” guilty or the media “thinks” they “could” be guilty and they don’t like Kelley’s “brazen refusal to resign.” Kelley may very well “be” guilty, but that isn’t the point. It’s up to the court system to make that determination, not the Legislature. Think through what could happen if the Legislature, with media endorsement, started changing laws to unseat duly elected public officials they didn’t like. Most of what we have read isn’t new information and was available during his election as auditor, and he still won. What would happen to our democracy if changing the rules after the election started to become an accepted practice. The media is supposed to be the watchdog of the public interest when politicians try to manipulate our judicial system for their own gain. In fact, the media shouldn’t condone mob mentality, let alone encourage it; they should be outraged by it. Their concern should be about the unintended consequence of reactionary self-serving legislation. Fortunately, the media’s endorsement to apply laws retroactively to get rid of Kelley is likely illegal. Whether you like Kelley or not, he is entitled to his day in court to try and clear his name if he can. If you felt you were not
guilty of a charge against you, wouldn’t you expect your rights to be protected? Would you want politicians in Olympia treading on your rights to enhance their own position? According to our Constitution, we are a “government of laws, not of men.” Disregarding the gender objection, it means you don’t get preferential treatment because you’re rich or famous or important. It also means you shouldn’t be treated to less than your full rights just because you are rich or famous or important either. It means everyone is treated the same. We are all equal under the law. Ask yourself, what would happen if the Legislature did find a way to remove Kelley from office and then he is found not guilty? Now that there has been an extension in the trial date, the rhetoric by all the politicians demanding Kelley be removed has predictably increased. Fortunately, House Speaker Democrat Frank Chopp and Republican leader Dan Kristiansen are more interested in finding solutions to our education, transportation and homeless problems than pursuing Kelley’s impeachment. Hopefully they will show the same seasoned judgment on any other proposed legislation. Keep the branches of government separate and let the process work. Let the facts come out. Don’t encourage or tolerate those who would deny you or your neighbor or Kelley the rights to which we are all entitled. Don’t let us became a society ruled by mob behavior.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Rubber stamps on the South King Fire board It must have been hard for Church to keep track of all the stares since he himself said he made it a point to look away from Freitas. Mr. Federal Way just hopes that he doesn’t look in the mirror too long in the mornings if that’s all it takes to feel threatened. The worst part of this whole thing is they spent taxpayer money on this frivolous investigation. It was all a bunch of malarkey. At least board member John Rickert was sane enough to point out how ridiculous the situation was when they tried to censure Freitas. Mr. Federal Way applauds Freitas for leaving so he can go look in every direction and sit wherever he chooses in peace without being publicly shamed.

But to answer your question, two candidates have filed for Freitas’s Position 2 seat: Jerry Galland and Roger Flygare. There’s no question the district sees Galland as the fly in their political ointment, as the outspoken fire district critic shows up at most of the commissioners meetings, even going so far as to (gasp) video record the meetings (www.federalwaymirror.com/ news/112201389.html) Given his track record, Galland will most likely not rubber stamp a single decision the other commissioners make, if he’s elected. As for Flygare serving as a rubber stamper, it remains to be seen. But Mr. Federal Way knows that endorsements can be very telling, and, so far, all of the current South King Fire and Rescue
commissioners (with an exception of Freitas), plus Church have already endorsed Flygare. Voters need to decide what is most important to them with this election: Voting for a candidate who could bring harmony to the board but serve as a potential rubber stamp, or someone who could cause discord but ask the hard questions. Mr. Federal Way does not endorse either candidate. You be the judge. Q: Mr. Federal Way, there’s been a lot of talk about Seahawks draft pick Frank Clark recently. You’re a big Seahawks fan, what are your thoughts on the team drafting him after saying they would not sign anyone that has hit a woman? A: Mr. Federal Way was shocked a few weeks ago when it happened, considering the statements that Seahawks general manager
John Schneider previously made in 2012. It seemed like Clark would be the last person they would draft. The police report seemed to paint a pretty awful picture of what took place in that Sandusky hotel room on that day. Mr. Federal Way does not condone that type of behavior from anyone. The Seahawks have claimed they did their own investigation and came to the conclusion that he did not hit the woman. That seems pretty hard to believe based on the police report, but somehow the prosecutor came to the same conclusion, so who’s to say? Mr. Federal Way would truly like to believe that Clark did not strike her, but it’s still pretty hard to do so. The victim has been somewhat uncooperative, which makes things even tougher. Sadly, this isn’t uncommon in domestic violence cases. But should we really be
surprised that one of these sports executives may have lied regardless of Clark’s innocence or lack thereof? This isn’t the first time the Hawks have signed someone with a questionable past since Schneider’s comments, as the Seattle Weekly reported (www.seattleweekly. com/home/958312-129/ seattleland-with-frankclark-the-hawks). No one but Clark and the victim can truly say what happened in that hotel room and having the prosecutor on your side is a big deal. Mr. Federal Way believes in second chances, but this one is hard to forgive. Clark is walking a very thin line. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what did you do for your mom on Mother’s Day? A: None of your business.

She was preceded in death by her sister Anita who passed during her youth. She showed her devotion to her family and friends who supported her in her in struggle as she remained a brave, determined woman, even throughout her final days. Rita was born on November 22, 1961 in Hermiston, Oregon to father Everett Olson and mother Jean Olive. She grew up in a loving family with two brothers and one sister. Rita graduated from Decatur High school in 1980, and went on to North Seattle Community college to complete her Associate of Applied Science degree in Accounting in 1990. She later completed her Bachelors in Accounting in 2004 from Central Washington University. Rita is survived by her father, Everett Olson and spouse Carolyn Olson; mother, Jean Olive; brothers, Jim Olson and Robert Olson; Nieces Kim and Brad Clark, Heidi Olson, Haley and Eric Schmidlin, and Jamey Olson; Sister-in-law Kris Olson; Her great nephew Carter Clark, great niece Paige Schmidlin, and Goddaughter Christina Lindh. Rita will be remembered for her zest for life, boisterous laugh, unending sense of humor, dedication to work and family, and her commitment to always strive to be better. Rita loved children and they were always drawn to her. Although Rita never had children of her own, she was a mother, an aunt, and a grandma to so many in her life. Although Rita is no longer with us, her spirit will live forever in our hearts. Services for Rita were held at Bethel Evangelical Church on Friday, March 27th. Rita's ashes will be released from her 2008 mustang as this is where she felt the most free since having cancer. Please visit our online guestbook at www.islandfuneral.com

Q
: Mr. Federal Way, South King Fire and Rescue board commissioner Mark Freitas announced he wasn’t going to seek re-election. Do you think this means whoever runs for his seat will be the new rubber stamp the rest of the commission is hoping for? A: First off, Mr. Federal Way does not hold anything against Freitas for not seeking re-election after the way the district treated him with their seemingly silly investigation last year. The district accused him of stalking fire Chief Al Church because he drove down a street on business and tried to touch bases at a time he knew they were both likely available. And accused him of age discrimination for a comment that didn’t mention anything age related. But perhaps the worst thing he was accused of was the threatening stares.

have to take responsibility for grossly misleading the public about the health harms of pot. To persuade people to legalize, they have to perpetuate the myth that marijuana is harmless. It is not harmless as I sadly learned when I partook of marijuana. I experienced the effects: no motivation, complacency, lack of sharpness in thinking and all that I mentioned at the beginning of my statement. The potent, toxic smoke injured my lungs and there has been some regeneration but they are still extremely sensitive. Think what it does to the delicate lung tissue of our children. The real insidious and dangerous thing about marijuana is that when you are a user, you can’t see or feel yourself degrading. I was duped and fell for the myth that marijuana is harmless. Just like Big Tobacco duped the American people (and our children) that tobacco was harmless and not addictive. Despite the misinformation you hear, marijuana is also addictive. I was addicted and in the grips of marijuana with a kind of mechanical habit. Finally, after many prayers I experienced a spiritual conversion and was cut free. Many people are waking up to the fact that they have been harmed by marijuana and they are angry with a society that has told them it is harmless. One last point — the most important point. Statistics show marijuana use is up in our middle schools since marijuana was legalized in this state. Besides the physical harm of the drug to developing brains, the apathy, the lack of drive and motivation, the “pot lifestyle” can cause our children to miss the normal and orderly cycles of marriage, family, children and career. The full flowering of their mission and contribution to society can be compromised. As the decades of a lifetime accelerate, it’s hard to recover from those lost years of non-productivity. I was well into my 40’s when I embarked on my chiropractic degree. That’s what I mean by missing your cycles. It’s really about the children, isn’t it? They copy what the adults do. Let’s put our children before profit and stop this expensive advisory vote to people who have been sold the myth of harmlessness. Do you think it would be an accurate, thoughtful vote of an informed populace? No! That’s how it unfortunately
became legalized. And this experiment in retail marijuana is making merchandise of our children. Medical marijuana has some benefits, but at what cost. We are adjured not to do evil that good may come. I counsel you to do your own investigations, educate yourself and assert the “local
control” you still have and to ban the sale of marijuana from the beautiful city of Federal Way. We are the guardians of our precious children and our choices will affect their future. We are the role models and children have an inherent trust in their parents and teachers. They depend
on us for protection and to see that they have a safe and healthy environment. Let us keep this bond intact. Do not allow the promise of city coffers brimming with new income to take us down the wrong path. I went down that wrong path. I wish someone had warned me.

Abandoned, dirty children found in store parking lot CRIME
This week’s…
ALERT
Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Electronics, jewelry stolen in burglary: At 9:19 a.m. on May 10 in the 29200 block of Military Road S., a man returned to his apartment to find his $1,600 Sony
laptop, iPod, computer case, dive compass, dive knife, money, brass plate, $5,000 worth of gold jewelry, another $2,100 worth of gold and diamond jewelry, medications and .225 caliber handgun stolen. The man left his residence at 6:30 p.m. the night prior to spend the night at a friend’s and returned in the morning to find his stuff missing. There were no signs of forced entry, however, police were able to locate some fingerprints. Patron frauds pizza place: At
11:15 a.m. on May 10 at 2132 SW 336th St., a man tried to pay his restaurant tab at New York Vinny’s Pizza with a counterfeit bill. Before the transaction was finished, a restaurant employee used a counterfeit detection pen to test the bill. The mark appeared brown, indicating it was fake. The suspect fled before he could be detained but he did leave the bill behind. All evidence was forwarded to the U.S. Secret Service. Hitchhiker caught: At 12:55
p.m. on May 10 in the 33600 block of Pacific Highway S., a man was arrested on an active fourthdegree assault warrant out of Kennewick after police observed him trying to hitchhike. Teens take golf cart for joy ride: At 5:13 p.m. on May 10 in the 900 block of SW Campus Drive, police responded to reports that a group of teenagers were riding in a golf cart through the Pavilion Apartment complex and on streets. After driving around the area, a
police officer was approached by apartment staff who told him the car was stolen from their property but they had recovered it. The golf cart had removable graffiti on the front windshield. None of the teenagers were identified. Dirty children found in parking lot: At 4:22 p.m. on May 10 in the 1900 block of S. 314th St., witnesses reported two young children running around unattended in the Walmart parking lot while their parents slept in a
vehicle nearby. One woman said she saw them near some bushes with no adult supervision and was scared that someone would abduct the children or accidentally hit them with a car. After she called police, she took the children to the Walmart bathroom to clean them. She said there was so much dirt on them that the water in the sink turned black. She also changed the younger child’s diaper. [ more BLOTTER, page 9 ]

[ BLOTTER from page 8]
Police asked the children where they lived and they pointed to the car where their parents slept. The boy, age 2, had no shoes or shirt on. He had long, unkept hair and his feet and body were covered in a fine layer of dirt. The 5-year-old girl was also dirty and had dried discolored snot under her nose. The witnesses took the children to McDonalds while police went to speak with the parents. The mother told police she worked a graveyard shift at McDonalds and met her fiancé at Walmart. She said she told her fiancé to watch the kids while she took a nap and that her
$78,000 last December. In addition to the 90 days of home detention, Dararath Mok, 35, has agreed to pay back $79,838.63. King County prosecutors agreed that 30 days of his confinement can be converted to 240 hours of
community restitution. He is also not to have any contact with Home Street Bank, the bank he robbed on Dec. 24, 2014. Mok was an employee when he entered the bank through an unlocked door,
used his personal code to disarm the alarm system and taped the cameras so that he could steal thousands of dollars from a vault. Police arrested Mok on Dec. 29, 2014 after discovering he used his own code to
gain access. According to court documents, he confessed to police he stole the money by himself because he had some family medical issues and was concerned about being unable to pay for them.
His family consented to a search of their residence and police found a box of money. At that time, they recovered $44,494 of the $77,994. He later told police $8,00 to $9,000 was missing because he gambled at a casino days after he robbed the bank. Mok has no prior convictions or criminal history.
whooping cough vaccinations wear off over time, but they are still the best protection against the dangerous disease. The study, released in the
May edition of the Journal of Pediatrics, used data from the 2012 whooping cough epidemic in Washington. Tdap Vaccine Effectiveness in Adolescents During the
2012 Washington State Pertussis Epidemic, is one of the first studies to test how long the adolescent and adult (Tdap) whooping cough vaccines are effective.
The investigation analyzed vaccine histories of 11- to 19-year-olds who contracted whooping cough during the 2012 epidemic. While whooping cough
vaccines are the best form of defense against the disease, the study found that much of the protection from the Tdap vaccine may wear off after two to four years.
mother was on the way to help her out when police arrived. She also said she lived in a friend’s trailer at a mobile home park. Police forwarded the case to the prosecutor’s office for a review of an abandonment of dependent persons charge. People trespassed from thrift store: At 6:23 p.m. on May 10 in the 2200 block of S. 320th St., several people were trespassed from Deseret Industries, and one was arrested. An employee requested the trespass order on suspicion they were taking items from the store. The responding officer discovered
one man had a Kent warrant for hit and run. Four arrested in fight outside bar: At 1:19 a.m. on May 9 at 35509 21st Ave. SW, police arrested four men ages 21-25 for getting into a fight with four other people at Jersey’s Sports Bar. The initial report stated there were possible gunshots. When police arrived, they discovered four to five men laying on the sidewalk outside of the bar. One man appeared to be unconscious, however, as police arrived, all fled in different directions. Police contacted a couple who said they, and two others, were assaulted by the men. They had left
the bar when they encountered the group. Most of them were wearing red and yelling, “I’m blood” and profanities, the police report states. The female victim was knocked down and bumped her head as a result. When her boyfriend went to help her up, he was “immediately punched with a closed fist.” The woman turned around and saw two other men on the ground being kicked and punched. She told police they didn’t know the men, nor was there a gun present. After alerting other officers in the area of the suspects, police located the men. The police report states it was a high risk stop as one of the
detained suspects said there was a shotgun in the trunk of the car. As the officer with the victims interviewed the two other men, he noticed blood on the driver’s seat. One victim’s face was swollen and covered in blood. The two victims were taken to the hospital and the woman went with police to positively identify the four suspects. While initially thought to be a misdemeanor, those charges were dropped after police learned one of the victims was transferred to Harborview Medical Center from a complication due to a prior head injury. Because of this, the suspects could face felony assault charges, which are pending. Paranoid woman committed: At 7:21 a.m. on May 9 in the 32700 block of 19th Place S., a 25-yearold woman was involuntarily committed because of her paranoid thoughts that the government was poisoning her food. She stood at the edge of her third story balcony and threatened police she would jump to “end it.” She called for help because she felt the government was out to get her. Woman finds substance on TV: At 10:01 a.m. on May 9 in the 32700 block of Third Place S., a 51-year-old woman called police to report a suspicious smelly substance on the back of her TV. She described it as strong smelling and “gritty.” According to the police report, she believes her neighbor broke into her residence and urinated on the back of her TV. She stated several years ago a similar situation with her washing machine. She noticed a slippery substance on the lid and believed it was her neighbor. She had no reasons why she suspected the neighbor other than she thinks she always gets in other’s business. There was no evidence the woman’s house was broken into. Shoplifter caught with drug paraphernalia: At 12:34 p.m. on May 9 in the 1900 block of S. Commons, a man was arrested
for stealing $190 worth of clothing from Macy’s. During a search, police found he had drug paraphernalia associated with methamphetamine. Jewelry stolen from open house: At 5:29 p.m. on May 9 in the 900 block of SW 365th Place, a woman reported several pieces of jewelry missing after she hosted an open house earlier that same day. She told police about eight families attended the open house from noon to 3 p.m. Later that day, she noticed her jewelry box was open, which was unusual. She checked and discovered her 24K gold earrings, white gold wedding band, pearl earrings, purple stone earrings and gold graduation ring were missing. But police deemed the case inactive, pending further leads. Alleged sexual assault in Seattle: At 12:16 p.m. on May 9 in the 2400 block of S. 320th St., police responded to Wildwood Elementary School for a report of sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl. The victim’s friend’s father said the alleged crime took place at a house in Seattle. The case was forwarded to Child Protective Services and the Seattle Police Department. Father accidentally leaves baby in car: At 2:14 p.m. on May 8 in the 2100 block of SW 336th St., a 19-year-old father called 911 immediately after he realized he accidentally locked his 6-monthold infant in the car. South King Fire and Rescue arrived and forced their way in via the driver rear window and retrieved the baby. The baby was in distress and was sweating due to heat but sustained no injuries. Police do not suspect negligence by the parent. Girl alleges molestation: At 11:18 a.m. on May 7 in the 30300 block of 14th Ave. S., a girl told police she was molested by a family friend when she lived in Auburn last year. The case is still under investigation.

FEDERAL WAY SWEEPS MEET WITH BEAMER, WINS LEAGUE TITLE
N
either team had lost a league meet coming into their May 7 showdown at Federal Way Memorial Field, but it was the Eagles who were victorious over the Titans. The boys won the meet 94-42 and the girls won 86-55. A top performer on the day for the girls was Federal Way’s Karis Cameron. Cameron won the 100-meter event, the 200 and the long jump. She had a personal record in the latter event when she jumped 18-0. The distance puts her in fifth in 4A currently. She is also currently seventh in the 100. Mariyah Vongsaveng continues her quest for a third state title in the 100-meter hurdles. She won the event with a time of 14.87 seconds. She also won the 300 hurdles with a time of 46.04. She currently sits at fourth and sixth in those events in 4A. Julian Johnson had a strong showing for Federal Way as she won the 800 and placed second in the 1600 behind teammate Rachel Arnold.

He placed second behind teammate Mason Sallee in the triple jump with a distance of 44-5 1/2. Sallee, the current 4A leader in triple jump by nearly a foot, jumped 45-1 1/2. Pickens is currently in the top 10 in 4A in all three events this season. Federal Way’s Sergio Rojas Luna picked up the win in pole vault with a height of 11-6. The 100 had a thrilling finish as the top three runners finished within 0.09 seconds of each other. Alex Taylor of Federal Way won the event with a time of 11.23. His teammate, Damani Thomas, finished third with a time of 11.32. Beamer’s Reeve Normandia finished second with a time of 11.30.

“I’m this close to getting that 10,” Decatur senior Isaiah Diggs yelled to his teammate. “I’m right there and I know I’m faster. I’m about to get it.”
Diggs won the 100-meter event at the meet with a time of 11.14 seconds, a new personal record for him. The rest of the event would go Diggs’s and Decatur’s way as the Gators boys topped rival Thomas Jefferson 77-68 and the girls won 90-59. The 100-meter event was not the only event that Diggs excelled in. He also was apart of the men’s 4x100 and 4x400 winning relay teams and long jump event. His jump of 21-7 was his second longest in the long jump this year. Currently, his jump of 22-2 against Todd Beamer on April 16 is the fifth longest in 4A. The 4x100 relay team consisting of Diggs, Kemuel Santana, Kaos JamesBlackwell and Chris McCray posted an impressive 43.55, their best time of the season. Diggs once again echoed his statements about being faster after the event. The time is only .35 off being a top 10 time in 4A this year. Santana also won
the 200 and placed second in the 100. Jefferson had wins in the 110 and 300 hurdles by Henry Yon. Rajesh Gill and Austin Miller scored them first place finishes in the 1600 and 3200. Anthony Nguyen took the men’s triple jump for the Raiders with a distance of 42-5 1/2. On the girl’s side, Parris Watson had another strong performance. She won both the shot put and discus events. Her shot put distance of 38-10 was actually her worst since April 16 against Beamer. That distance would still be good enough for seventh in 4A. Her season high is currently 39-9 1/4, the third best in 4A. In the discus event, she won with a distance of 1239. That was also her worst distance since the Beamer meet and would still be good enough for fifth in 4A. Her best distance in the event this year is 134-6, the second best in 4A.
Samyra Waters and Janai Curtis won the 200 and 400. Yhadira Gallardo won the 100 and 300 hurdles. The Decatur relay team edged Jefferson’s by .34. For Jefferson, Dakezhane Davis and Jenna Appleton won the 100 and the 800. Taura Vastakas won the 1600 for the Raiders. Kellie Twitchell won both the long and triple jump events. Jefferson’s boys team finished at 1-3 in the league and in fourth place. Their girls finished at 0-4 in the league and in fifth place. Decatur’s boys team finished at 2-2 in the league and in third place. Their girls finished at 1-3 and in fourth place in league. The South Puget Sound League 4A Championships started on Wednesday, featuring athletes from all four schools . The finals are scheduled to take place today, May 15, starting at 3:30 p.m. They are being held at French Field in Kent.
Now in its 43rd season, the Federal Way Public Schools Elementary Track and Field Program continues to expand. It’s easily the district’s largest athletic program, with approximately 2,000 students
in grades kindergarden through the fifth grade participating each year, according to the district. The district boasts the program is one of the most unique of its kind in the state. It’s offered free
of charge, thanks to the many hours volunteered by administrators, athletic directors, teachers/coaches, school staff, students, parents, service organization and community members who help make the pro-
gram successful. There are no tryouts for the teams. All elementary students attending schools in the district are welcomed and encouraged to participate. [ more TRACK, page 17 ]

eamer went into their May 12 West Central District playoff game against Timberline on Tuesday looking to clinch their second consecutive berth in the state playoffs. Instead, the Blazers handed them their worst loss of the season. Beamer lost 9-0 in a game that got out of hand
quickly. After a somewhat quiet first inning that saw a run come home due to a couple of passed balls, the Blazers erupted for five runs in the second. The biggest blow in the second for the Titans was the two-run inside-thepark home run given up to Timberline’s Tony Ortiz. Beamer pitcher Taylor Davis threw 67 pitches in the two innings. He was also

one of two Titans with a hit in the game. Another three runs were added in the fourth inning during a two-out rally for Timberline. A chopper that never left the infield but bounced high enough to render Beamer unable to make a play defensively kept the inning alive and the Blazers capitalized. The Titans were unable to get anything going offensively as well, as they could not solve the sidearm pitching of Timberline’s Zach Owens. Owens completed the game with two hits, two walks, one hit batter, no runs and nine strikeouts. The pitching settled in for Beamer when Cameron Naden took the mound in the fifth. He only allowed one hit and struck out two. Prior to this game, the Titans had only allowed more than five runs twice all season and had been shut out only twice. It was

Redfin recently published its March housing market tracker, showing a 3.4 percent bump in Federal Way home prices and a 7 percent increase in home sales year over year. In addition, 25.6 percent of homes sold were bought by buyers who paid in all cash. Here is a snapshot of the numbers in Federal Way compared to the same time last year: • The median price for
child pornography on the Internet on March 12. Kelly-Scholz, a Federal Way resident, had already served 232 days in the Department of Corrections at the time he was sentenced on April 17. In addition to registering as a sex offender, Kelley-Scholz will undergo
sexual deviancy evaluations, HIV and DNA testing. He is also barred from having contact with minors without the supervision of an adult who knows of his conviction. Detectives from the Washington State Patrol Missing and Exploited Children’s Task Force
arrested Kelley-Scholz in January 2014 after they traced him back to large amounts of child pornography. During the arrest, detectives seized electronics from his house and saw illegal photos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Police chief promotes Brett Hatfield, Brigham Schulz
Warfare Specialist pin, and was honorably discharged as a second class petty officer in August of 1999. Schulz was then hired as a police officer by the Honolulu Police Department, where he spent most of his tenure as a patrolman in Waikiki. He learned of the Federal Way Police Department through a Federal Way lieutenant who was vacationing in Hawaii. The Federal Way department hired Schulz in 2002. While working in patrol he became a member of the Civil Disturbance Unit and served as acting lieutenant. He was a field training officer and is an FBI-trained hostage negotiator. In January 2010, Brigham was selected to the Traffic Unit as a motorcycle officer, collision investigator and traffic school instructor. He has a passion for sports and physical fitness and is always motivated to help family, friends and co-workers improve their fitness level. He is a Cross Fit coach and has competed in many local Cross Fit competitions.
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Chief of Police Andy Hwang held a promotion ceremony on Wednesday to recognize and celebrate the achievements of two outstanding individuals — Commander Brett Hatfield and Lieutenant Brigham Schulz. Hatfield began his police career in 1989 as a reserve police officer with the city of Normandy Park; he was hired there full-time in 1991. He became a founding member of the Federal Way Police Department in July 1996. Because Hatfield grew up in Federal Way, he was tasked as the geography coach to other officers, many of whom came to Federal Way from around the country. After working the graveyard patrol shift for two years, Hatfield was selected for the crime prevention unit, where he was the public information officer. He was selected in 2000 to teach criminal law at the basic law enforcement academy. While there, he taught criminal law and patrol tactics to over 1,000 Washington law enforcement officers. Upon his return to Federal Way, Hatfield was a field training officer. He was next selected to work in the professional standards unit where he conducted recruiting and background investigations. Hatfield was promoted to the rank of patrol lieutenant in 2007. In 2010, he was selected as the first supervisor of the newly formed Special Operations Unit, which is a three-year rotation. As a result of his hard work and that team’s success in the downtown core, Hatfield was named supervisor of the

Only persons who submit written comments to the Director (address below) or specifically request a copy of the decision, may appeal the decision. However, any interested party may appeal the environmental threshold determination. Issuance of Final Environmental Determination: The final DNS may be issued without a second comment period, unless timely comments identify probable significant adverse impacts that were not considered by the Notice of Optional DNS. A copy of the DNS may be obtained upon request. Availability of File: The official project files, existing environmental documents and required studies are available for public review at the Department of Community Development, 33325 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003.

Brooklake Christian Schools part of pilot technology program FROM STAFF REPORTS
Brooklake Christian School is participating in two pilot programs that have made various advanced technology available to their students. The use of iPads, Bluetooth keyboards and other technology tools are enhancing instruction, discovery, review and assessment at the school. Head of Schools Keri Ingraham and Kyle Ferguson, technology director, are providing the leadership and staff technology training for the increased technology training. Ferguson recently returned from an iPad Summit with educators from around the country exploring ways to use iPads. The focus on increased reading and math skills was of particular emphasis
Kyle Ferguson (right), technology director at Brooklake Christian School, assists students with technology the school offers. Contributed photo for equipping students as tomorrow’s future leaders. As a result, Brooklake is participating in a pilot program with the Tiggly Company, which builds physical manipulatives that interact with iPads and other tablets to enhance student learning related to math and reading. The school is also partnering with a company called Motion Math. The school received 25 kits that included software, each kit is valued at $30, Ferguson noted. “It’s not simply about placing new technology
in students’ hands for technology’s sake, rather it is about giving students a perspective as to how everyday tools and technologies from tablets to smartphones can help them learn,” Ferguson said. “Student interest in math, science and English has soared by adding this interactive technology element.” Brooklake Christian School will be hosting an open house from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 16. The school is located at 629 S. 356th St., Federal Way. C
