Teen tries to rescue greatgrandfather from burning house

Hickel leads House race in 30th District

Parker Ewing was asleep in bed when he felt heat on his face. He opened his eyes and saw black smoke.

“I tried to get under it but I was inhaling more and more black smoke,” the 15-year-old recalled of when his family’s Federal Way home burned in a fire on Friday morning.

Parker managed to crawl out the front door, across the porch and down the front steps.

That’s when he heard his great-grandpa screaming for help.

“My instinct told me to go run back in there and try to save him,” he recalled, noting he went back into the burning home, found his grandpa and put him over his shoulder. The family’s American bulldog named T-Bone pulled at the boy’s pant leg and tried to pull Parker down the hallway as the boy lugged his grandpa toward the front door. “We got him almost to the door and I collapsed because I was inhaling too much smoke,” Parker said. “I woke up in the hospital with tubes down my throat.”

South King Fire and Rescue firefighters rescued the two from the house, located in the 2600 block of SW 332nd St., at approximately 8:30 a.m. Capt. Jeff Bellinghausen said witnesses screamed that there were people inside. The smoke had completely filled the house to where it was [ more FIRE, p. 5 ]

Mark Koppang looked intense during the final minutes leading up to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, when King County Elections released initial general election results.

After he saw the voting results during a party at Billy McHale’s, he hugged Republican supporters and celebrated.

Koppang received 4,132 votes or 55.2 percent and challenger Julie Hiller received 3,325 votes or 44.5 percent for Council Position No. 5.

“I’m excited obviously to serve the city of Federal Way,” he told the Mirror. “I just want to congratulate [ more COUNCIL, p. 4 ]

epublican supporters at Billy McHale’s cheered just past 8 p.m. on election night, when early results showed that candidate Teri Hickel is leading the mostwatched state House race for the 30th Legislative District Position 2 against incumbent Carol Gregory.

“I am honored to have won the majority of the votes tonight,” Hickel said in a statement. “Seven months ago, when we began this campaign, I set out to share my optimistic vision for the future of our district. It is clear that voters share my goals of creating good-paying jobs, growing our downtown core and finding more funding for our schools while lowering our local property taxes with a levy swap.”

Initial results showed Hickel is leading with 6,664 votes in King County and 446 votes in Pierce County for a total of 53.8 percent of votes. Gregory had 5,703 votes in King County and 372 votes in Pierce County for a total of 46 percent of votes on Tuesday.

Hickel thanked Gregory for her service to the Federal Way community.

“She has served in place of the late Rep. Roger Freeman with grace and we are fortunate to have her continued leadership on the Federal Way School Board,” she said, noting she looks forward to rolling up my sleeves and doing the job my neighbors elected me to do down in Olympia.

But Gregory still held on to hope on election night.

At the 30th District Democrats office, her Democratic supporters hugged Gregory and praised her for her dedication to the community.

“It’s not over,” Gregory said, noting that voters [ more HICKEL, p. 4 ]

Chipotle shut down 43 of its restaurants this week, including the Federal Way location, as health officials investigate 19 cases of E. coli illnesses that are linked to restaurants in Washington.

Three more cases were reported from Oregon, also associated with Chipotle restaurants. Seven of the Washington patients and one Oregon patient were hospitalized; there have been no deaths, according to the Washington state Department of Health. Four cases were reported in King County, nine in Clark County, one in Cowlitz County and five in Skagit County.

While the outbreak appears to be linked to food served at Chipotle restaurants, the food or other source of contamination hasn’t yet been deter-

Chipotle shut down 43 of its restaurants, including its Federal Way location, this week due to an E. coli investigation. Contributed photo mined and remains under investigation.

Restaurants in Washington state have voluntarily closed until further information on the cause of the outbreak is available. Some types of E. coli

can cause bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and vomiting. Those illnesses can sometimes result in severe, life-threatening illness and may be fatal. “Anyone who thinks they may have become ill from eating at a Chipotle restaurant in the past three weeks should consult their healthcare provider,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Scott Lindquist. “The elderly and very young children are more likely to become severely ill from this kind of E. coli infection.”

Local and state health officials in Washington and Oregon are investigating, working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Washington State Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is important to handle food safely. Thorough cooking will kill the bacteria and prevent illness.

Students at Todd Beamer High School were placed under lockdown on Oct. 31 after rumors that a school shooting would take place at 10:30 a.m.

Federal Way Public Schools spokeswoman Ann Cook said after having police and security investigate, the status of the lockdown changed at 11 a.m. to a modified lockdown so that students could grab lunch, supervised, and move throughout the building. All exterior doors were still locked at that time.

Several students and some parents reported seeing the rumored threat on social

media and text messages but at this point the information is hearsay and secondhand. “‘I heard there would be a shooting today at school,’ ‘I heard someone’s going to bring a gun today at school,’” Cook said, as she gave examples of the rumor. “That’s really what the principal, security and police right now are trying to work through, that conversation that’s happened on social media and texts, to see if they can identify a source for that. Is there a threat somewhere or is it simply rumors?”

News of the initial lockdown went out to parents at around 10 a.m. with an update to the modified lock down sent out at 11 a.m.

All after-school activities were canceled.

Eye diseases may go unnoticed in people with diabetes

THE BASICS OF DIABETES AND THE EYE

Diabetes is a disease that interferes with the body’s ability to use and store sugar.

It can affect all ages and is associated with many health problems. Excess sugar in the blood can cause damage throughout the body, including the eyes. In fact, according to the American Optometric Association, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults ages 20 to 70.

Over time, diabetes can

Dr. Thomas Saunders

damage the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive lining of the back of the eye, a condition called diabetic retinopathy. This damage can cause the blood vessels to leak and bleed, or even trigger the growth of new blood vessels, all of which can have a negative impact on vision.

Unfortunately, early stages of diabetic retinopathy may cause no visual symptoms.

For this reason, it’s recommended that if you have diabetes or are at risk for developing the disease, you have yearly dilated eye examinations. When the eyes are dilated, an eye doctor is able to examine the retina for signs of diabetic eye disease and prescribe a treatment course to help preserve sight.

EYE HEALTH

A

s a doctor of optometry, I help care for the eye health of hundreds of Puget Sound-area residents each year. With more than 9 percent of Americans having been diagnosed with diabetes and millions more still undiagnosed, many of the patients who come to our office are concerned with the potential complications of this disease. Since November is Diabetic Eye Disease Month, it’s a good time to consider the importance of regular dilated eye exams in the prevention of vision loss.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

As early warning signs of diabetic eye and vision disorders are often subtle or undetected, the American Optometric Association recommends that high-risk individuals monitor closely for changes and contact an eye care provider if they

experience any of the following symptoms: seeing spots or floaters in your field of vision, blurred vision, having a dark or empty spot in the center of your vision or difficulty seeing well at night.

PEOPLE WITH DIABETES AT GREATER RISK

In addition to diabetic retinopathy, people with diabetes are at higher risk for developing eye diseases like cataracts and certain types of glaucoma.

Cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, which blocks light and interferes with normal vision. Many people without diabetes will get cataracts, but those with the disease are 60 percent more likely to develop this eye condition. People with diabetes also tend to get cataracts at a younger age and they may progress more quickly. Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve, which may lead to permanent vision loss. People with diabetes are more likely to suffer from certain forms of glaucoma than people without diabetes. A comprehensive vision examination, including dilation, is important in early

detection and timely treatment of these conditions.

PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION

In addition to having a yearly, comprehensive eye exam, I encourage all patients with diabetes to follow these tips to help prevent

Julie on a good race. As a first-time candidate, she did a great job and I think my experience and my involvement in the community is something that really carried me over.”

Koppang said he’s committed to moving Federal Way forward and “excited about the prospect of working with the council and the mayor to move forward on a number of different things that are going on between the Performing Arts and Event center, the park, attracting businesses, to neighborhood safety and being fiscally responsible. Those things are a bedrock for me and I’ll be working on all those things.”

At another election night party at the Coldwell Banker Danforth offices where Hiller works, the candidate said she was “disappointed” and conceded defeat to Koppang.

“I think that she would have made a great council person, so hopefully she’ll get a chance to serve some other way,” said Hiller’s husband Byron.

Hiller said she is keeping her options open as far as running again, but for now will focus on being a mother.

Using the department’s new thermal imaging cameras, firefighters found the grandfather in the front room, unconscious, and the teenager in the hallway on the floor. Both had heartbeats but were unconscious from smoke inhalation.

They were transported to Harborview Medical Center, where the grandfather, Thomas Finckel, later died of his injuries. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

While firefighters were able to save the family-ofseven’s two hamsters, two snakes, one dog and four cats, two pets didn’t make it — including T-Bone and the family’s three-legged cat Bob. “Our thoughts go strictly to the family,” Bellinghausen said, noting they helped give the boy’s mother a ride to the hospital after she arrived on scene. Parker’s mom Tiffany Ewing said four generations of her family lived in the house, including her mother, sister, husband, daughter, her grandfather Finckel and Parker. Her son stayed home from school that morning after the school district alerted families there were rumors that a potential school shooting

Ewing and her mother “snuck out” of the house to buy Halloween candy, while Parker and Finckel were asleep. “All of a sudden we just get to Target and my husband is calling me on the phone,” Ewing recalled. “He said, ‘Get home now — the house is on fire’ … That’s when I lost it and said, ‘Oh my God, Parker is home from school today.’” When Ewing and her mother returned home, fire officials held them back from the scene as they tried to resuscitate her son and grandfather. After Parker woke up at the hospital, he told his mother how he tried to save his great-grandpa. “I’m just in complete awe that a 15-year-old would risk his own life to go back in,” she said, noting her son is small in stature, weighs only 99 pounds and still managed to carry Finckel through the burning home. “It totally baffles me … I don’t know if I would have that type of bravery to go back in there.”

She had to deliver the bad news to Parker that Finckel died.

“He is doing amazing,” Ewing said, noting that her son recovered so quickly that “he was literally running laps in ICU” on Sunday.

She attributes his speedy recovery — and his ability to lift his great-grandpa during the fire — to his athleticism, as he plays select baseball at Diamond Sports. Ewing said her son’s baseball team has been very supportive. Her mother’s company that she works for, Bellevue-based North Coast Lighting, also stepped up and paid for the entire family to stay at the Comfort Inn in Federal Way for two weeks. “It’s horrible; we lost everything,” she said. “The house is completely gone.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe.com account to help offset their expenses at www.gofundme.com/ FamilyFire7.

“After a long hard process, I’m blessed to announce that I’m committed to Oregon State University!” Hughes-Murray said in a tweet.

He had also received offers from the Air Force, Army, Eastern Washington, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada-Las Vegas and Utah State.

Hughes-Murray was recruited as an inside linebacker.

Tahoma tops Federal Way, Eagles eliminated from playoffs

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

T

he second meeting between Tahoma and Federal Way this season had high stakes with a playoff berth on the line. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the end result was the same as they lost 26-22 to the Bears on Friday at Bill Maxwell Stadium.

Heavy rain fell throughout much of the game, but it didn’t stop the teams from taking to the air.

The first half was nearly all Tahoma. They scored on the first drive of the game on a 19-yard pass from Amandre Williams to Aidan Harmon.

A 30-yard reception by Jerrel Chapman helped push them down the field on the drive.

The Eagles didn’t have much going offensively in the first quarter. Their third drive was their best, but quarterback D’Jimon Jones was picked off on a deep pass by Tahoma’s Caleb Brown on the Bears’ 17-yard line.

Federal Way’s first drive of the second quarter proved more fruitful for the Eagles.

They drove from their own side of the field in a drive that culminated in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Jones

to Jaeger Steckler.

Andrzej Hughes-Murray ran the two-point conversion in to give the Eagles an 8-7 lead.

The rest of the first half was not too kind to the Eagles. Penalties and discussions between the referees caused the first half to drag on for much longer than usual, breaking up the rhythm of the game. Federal Way seemed to be affected more.

Tahoma added touchdowns on a 1-yard run by Dylan Stewart and another Williams-to-Harmon connection from 11 yards out.

The latter touchdown was particularly deflating for the Eagles as it appeared they had an interception deep in their own territory. Instead, a hands-to-the-face penalty was called prior to the turnover. The flag was thrown late and the referees had a long conference with each other to discuss the penalty.

In the end, the number they called the penalty on was a Federal Way player who does not play on the defensive side of the ball.

With the ball back in their possession, Tahoma drove down the field as halftime neared.

They were called for a late hit along the Tahoma sideline.

The Bears were subsequently hit with a penalty during the aftermath on the sideline.

The referees conferred for over five minutes before marking off the penalties.

A pass interference call on the play after the delay put Tahoma in the redzone.

Federal Way caught a break on the last play of the half as the Bears returned their punt for a touchdown, but it was called back for a block in the back.

Halftime finally arrived at 8:40 p.m., an hour and 40 minutes after kickoff.

Federal Way’s defense found its groove in the second half. An interception early in the third quarter led to a 44-yard pass from Jones to Brian Parker to bring the game to 20-14 in favor of Tahoma.

Their only major defensive lapse of the second half proved to be the game-winner for Tahoma. Williams found Austin Brown for a 64-yard touchdown pass with just under five minutes left in the quarter. Brown

raced by a Federal Way defender and juked past another on his way to the end zone.

The Eagles added one final touchdown with just over a minute left in the game. The ensuing onside kick was recovered by Tahoma, ending the playoff hopes for Federal Way. “I’m proud of the way the kids fought,” Federal Way head coach John Meagher said. “We had a lot of adversity thrown at us in terms of injuries and different things.

The kids fought hard all the way to the end. We’ll just have to put things together and go win next week.”

The loss was the fifth of the season for the Eagles where they were within two scores. Three of those were within one score.

Tahoma earned the South Puget Sound League North’s fifth seed with the victory and will face Lake Stevens in the first round of the playoffs.

Federal Way (2-7, 2-2) faced Puyallup (5-4) after the Mirror’s publishing deadline on Thursday, Nov. 5 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium for their final game.

TODD BEAMER FALLS TO KENTWOOD

The Titans will be the fourth seed out of the South Puget Sound League North after falling to the Kentwood Conquerors 14-0.

Chavez Kalua-Fuimaono’s 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was the only offensive touchdown of the night as both teams struggled to move the ball.

Devonte Sanchez picked up a Beamer fumble and ran in for a 30-yard touchdown in the third quarter to give the Conquerors a 14-0 lead that held.

Beamer will face the Skyline Spartans (8-1) — winners of the KingCo — in the week 10 playoff crossover tonight at 7 p.m. at Skyline High School. The winner will be District Two’s No. 1 seed for state playoffs and will face the winner of Gig Harbor/Mariner.

THOMAS JEFFERSON EARNS SECOND SEED

Thomas Jefferson added another impressive win to their resume as they topped the Kentlake Falcons 36-14. [ more PLAYOFFS, page 33 ]

Beamer volleyball advances to district playoffs

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

I

t wasn’t as pretty as they would have liked, but the Todd Beamer Titans girls volleyball team advanced to the West Central District Tournament after finishing with the 10th seed from the South Puget Sound League Tournament, which took place on Oct. 29 and 31.

The Titans entered the tournament as the fifth seed out of the North division.

They were slotted against Puyallup, the

fourth seed from the South, in the first round.

The first set was evenly matched with both teams battling back and forth throughout. Eventually, the set was tied at 24. Beamer scored the first point to break the tie and went up 25-24. The next three points went to the Vikings as they took the set 27-25.

The loss of the first set deflated the Titans, while Puyallup was ignited.

They took the next two sets 25-12, 2512. Beamer’s chances to qualify for the district tournament were put on hold.

Their next opponent was Kentlake who lost 3-1 to Mount Rainier in their opening match. Kentlake previsouly defeated Beamer 3-1 on Oct. 22.

The day of rest in between games seemed to help the Titans. They cruised against the Falcons 3-0, winning each set 25-15.

The win clinched their spot in districts, but they still had an opportunity for the ninth seed for the district tournament. Going into the tournament, the Titans’ goal was to win at least two [ more DISTRICTS, page 33 ]

Watch for drooldripping beasts I was driving to Tacoma via Norpoint hill and the Tide Flats when I witnessed a nightmarish scene.

First, as I started descending the hill, I saw the flashing lights of an animal control vehicle. As I passed the slow moving vehicle that was occupying the middle of the road, I saw the reason the animal control was there. There were four very large pit bulls running in a pack, owning the street.

Animal control was there to monitor the pit bull’s activity — there was no way anyone in their right mind would attempt to herd these muscular beasts with drool dripping from their jowls.

Q&A: Why didn’t mayor ask for public PAEC vote?

Mr. Federal Way is far more entertaining than I am. But here are some of the questions I get.

Q. You have raised questions about whether or not the Performing Arts and Event Center will be an economic stimulus. What do think the city should have done to stimulate economic development downtown?

A. The quickest way to both stimulate and invest in downtown would have been to sell the current City Hall building and move City Hall, the courts and police department downtown near the current parking garage. That would give you an immediate infusion of over 400 city employees who would work, shop and eat downtown.

Add in the citizens who visit City Hall everyday. Then increase your shopping options with infill development that emphasizes small interesting shops. A passive park would help the new layout become a true city center. It would also cut down on fuel consumption. A circulator shuttle bus could run shoppers between the different shopping areas that would reduce the need for an overpass.

With the police station in close proximity, the city could close the police precinct. Next, build a Senior Center and partner with a private sector

company to develop something similar to Kent Station. Done correctly, Pete von Reichbauer Way becomes your new center of town and perfect for parades and celebrations. The Performing Arts and Event Center could then be considered.

Q. Why is Mr. Federal Way picking on Mayor Jim Ferrell about using his city car to stop at Fred Meyer on his way home?

A. Lighten up on Mr. Federal Way. He did the mayor a favor. If the Mirror hadn’t provided the mayor a place to let the public know what the rules of use on his city car were, anyone who saw him using a city car that said “for official use only” parked at Fred Meyer would be mad at him, and think he was cheating. But by a citizen raising the question, the mayor was able to set the record straight and help the public understand. Because it is very likely there were many more people who saw his car than the one who contacted Mr. Federal Way. The paper did the mayor a big favor.

Q. Isn’t the fact that the mayor changed his mind about the Performing Arts and Event Center old news?

A. No. He spent several years cultivating the Bob Roegner

e’re finishing up our three part series on “Sexual savvy during Seahawks season.” Part one focused on how to keep your offense strong. Part two reminded you how to put up a good defense. Part three shows you how to kick it up a notch with special teams.

9. A truly savvy Seahawks fan is going to have goals in their life. Where do you want to be in a year? Five years? Ten? How will being in a relationship impact that?

What risks are involved in the behavior you are planning? How can you reach your goals, while respecting yourself and others? Take it from Steven Hauschka — focus and determination are important in order to reach your goals.

10. Practice makes things better. Even the best players practice, practice, practice. They practice in the off-season and during the football season.

Take a page from their playbook and take some time with a friend (or trusted adult) to roleplay some scenarios. It’s important to do this with situations that might make you uncomfortable, so you can practice what you might say or do. Think of something that could happen, or maybe already did happen to someone you know or someone you read about.

What are some feelings you have about this situation?

What are at least two options a person has in this situation?

What are the potential consequences of acting on each of those options?

Who’s got your back if things don’t go as planned?

Practicing dealing with pressure ahead of time can give you a big advantage when the clock is ticking.

11. Show pride in who you are. Not everyone in the Land of 12 plays on the same side, but it takes every one of us to make up the whole team. Claim your identity, and be as honest about it as you safely can. If you need support, look up Gender Alliance of the South Sound, the Tacoma Rainbow Center, PFLAG or teens in the south end can check out Proud! Out! Won[ more JOHNSON page 34 ]

Two of the dogs were jogging down the sidewalk and two were following in the street holding up traffic.

The two in the street were directly in front of my car, so I had a clear view of the massive power of these animals. If they chose to attack my tires I have no doubt they could flatten them.

Recently, there was a media report a few weeks ago about a person who was attacked by a pack like this at a convenience store at the top of the same hill. I also know a woman who was severely mauled by two pit bulls not more than a couple of blocks away from this location. The sight of these powerful dogs running in a

pack as if they were in the wild is chilling. Please alert your readers who live in this area to be on the lookout.

Matt Sato, Federal Way

Wrong location I was alarmed to learn Valley Cities chose to locate the proposed Woodmont Recovery Center in such close proximity to a school, library and an under-served residential neighborhood.

Over the last several weeks, I have monitored the response of local, state and Valley Cities officials to the public outcry and would like to add my concerns to your consideration: this is the wrong location for this

project.

As vice chair of the Human Services, Mental Health & Housing Committee in Olympia, I know there is a long-standing need for more human services in South King County, particularly psychiatric and chemical rehabilitation. Drug addiction and mental illness are on the rise and creating a crisis of homelessness and poverty in our community.

However, we must not create a new crisis by placing this center in the middle of a vulnerable population.

It is in the best interest of all parties to make sure the placement of the facility is beneficial to everyone if we want to succeed in fighting

homelessness and growing a healthy community.

I applaud the attention being paid to this issue at all levels of leadership and I am pleased the voices of the many residents in the Woodmont and surrounding communities are being heard. We cannot stop there.

We need a solution that does not put our children and safe public spaces at risk.

I commend Valley Cities for listening to the community and being open to exploring other sites. I will continue to monitor the progress of this project and offer my help and support for a new location that balances the growing needs of the ill with community safety.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Marijuana businesses and more moist Mirrors

Q

: Mr. Federal Way, I’m disappointed that Federal Way voters shot down the city’s Advisory Proposition 1 measure. I don’t smoke marijuana but didn’t voters already say “yes” to marijuana?

A: Contrary to popular belief regarding Mr. Federal Way’s alleged lack of brain cells, Mr. Federal Way doesn’t smoke the stuff either — or at least has never inhaled.

Unfortunately, it looks like

Federal Way voters do smoke marijuana.

So why did 6,449 Federal Way voters (62 percent) say “no” to marijuana businesses in Federal Way, while only 3,959 (38 percent) said “yes?” It appears as though all of the rest of the “yes” voters were too high and too lazy to get off their couches to mail in

their ballots on Nov. 3. Or perhaps they were too busy munching on their loads of Halloween candy.

This general election’s voter turnout was sorry to say the least.

Only 10,827 voters out of 42,778 registered voters in Federal Way, or 25.31 percent, even bothered to vote.

In King County, only 306,377 voters out of 1.2 million reg-

home, auto, property, restaurant, investment professionals

istered voters, or 26 percent, turned in their ballots as of the Mirror’s publishing deadline.

Perhaps people were arguably too busy working two jobs, caring for their half-dozen children or too sick to fill out their ballots.

Even the busy Mr. Federal Way himself mailed in his ballot and filled it out with his birthgiven name. If you want to verify whether this columnist did in fact vote, you may search the voter rolls for any name with an

“r” in it — that’s as close to identifying Mr. Federal Way as this columnist has ever come.

But if 53 percent of Federal Way voters approved Initiative 502 that legalized pot-smoking statewide, then what changed this time around with the Advisory Proposition 1 vote? And how will the council handle that disparity?

Mr. Federal Way suspects the council will play a game of [ more MR. FW page 11 ]

Mr. Federal Way implores the council to do their homework, take a field trip to a nearby pot shop, speak with law enforcement in that area and find out if crime is really an issue surrounding those shops or not. And listen to the voters who did vote in favor of legalizing marijuana three years ago. They

Q: Mr. Federal Way, here we go again. In addition to all of the wet trickor-treaters who showed up on my doorstep, so too did a soggy Federal Way Mirror last week. There were literally dozens of 10 pound piles of mush throughout my neighborhood that were the end result of your newspaper being thrown in our wet driveways without a plas-

advertisers think about this?

A: The Mirror’s advertisers will first of all be glad that your newspaper made it to your doorstep, as you mentioned. Kudos to the 16-year-old delivery driver who managed to throw well and aim correctly.

Mr. Federal Way has opined on moist Mirrors during past wet seasons.

As Mr. Federal Way has suggested before, assuming you have been a resident of the Pacific Northwest

months, Mr. Federal Way is sure you realize it rains a lot here.

Mr. Federal Way even offered tips to readers to resolve your wet-weeklypaper-problem, including fetching your periodical from your driveway as soon as it’s delivered instead of waiting until Saturday morning to retrieve it. The Mirror’s delivery window is Friday between 2-6 p.m.

But Mr. Federal Way received backlash in the past

for placing the burden on Mirror readers. One reader was so outraged he wrote a letter to the editor, stating, “… I sell advertising for a living and I wouldn’t feel comfortable selling ads in a wet newspaper. I’m glad I have a recycle bin and your plastic bag is very useful when I walk my dog in the morning. It’s nice to give a snarky answer, when it’s not your money being wasted.”

Point taken.

But time is money and Mr. Federal Way spends a lot of time every week writing columns for the Mirror and getting paid circus peanuts. And the aforesaid letter writer’s argument holds true with Mr. Federal Way’s weekly Q&As as perhaps people are unable to read their favorite columnist (sorry, Mr. Roegner) if the pages are laden in rain water.

So Mr. Federal Way is shifting the onus to the Mirror’s publisher, who has

always said he is fair game for criticism. Mr. Alcott, what say you? The next time it rains, Mr. Federal Way will start his own paper mâche project.

Please look for him scouring your neighborhood and scooping wet papers, which he will take back to the Mirror office and mold into a life-size statue of Mayor Jim Ferrell. Mr. Federal Way will set up this paper mâche mayoral statue in front of the publisher’s desk, which will serve as a newspaper watchdog until the publisher can solve this moist mess.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I heard the Mirror office has become a marijuana destination of sorts.

What’s that all about?

A: None of your business.

Arsonist leaves suspicious note by homeless camp CRIME

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Man forces woman in car, beats her: At 2:18 a.m. on Nov. 1 in the 28700 block of Military Road S., a 29-year-old woman entered a convenience store and a man approached her. The suspect made up a story and coerced the victim into his vehicle.

He pointed a gun at her and demanded that she get in. After they drove a few blocks away, the suspect beat her, resulting in obvious injuries. He stole her cell phone and $300 in cash before forcing her out. The victim called police after she returned to the convenience store, where medics treated her.

Police located the suspect’s vehicle. The video surveillance was not available at the time of this report. Police described the suspected as African American, in his 20s, 6 feet tall with a heavy build and wearing a black hoodie and black sweat pants.

Driver arrested for hit-andrun: At 1:32 a.m. on Nov. 1 in the 34800 block of Enchanted Parkway S., a driver was arrested for striking another vehicle and fleeing the scene. The suspect was arrested for the hit-and-run and for physical control.

Man in boxers found wandering on road: At 1:11 a.m. on Nov. 1 in the 32300 block of First Ave. S., two passerbys found a man walking on a road in the

pouring rain wearing only boxers and a shirt. The man was by himself and had minor injuries from falling on his knees. South King Fire and Rescue personnel treated him at the scene for his skinned knees. He was also very cold. He was then transported to St. Francis Hospital for evaluation.

He appeared dazed and confused and stated he had Parkinson’s disease, for which he took heavy medication. He also said several males were chasing him. But police checked his apartment and it appeared neat and in order. A message was left for his nurse.

Teen reports man raped her: At 4:41 a.m. on Nov. 1 in an unknown block of 20th Ave. S., a 17-year-old girl reported that while staying at a relative’s house in Federal Way, a 27-yearold family friend living in the home sexually assaulted her.

Her mom picked her up from the house and drove her to valley Medical Center in Renton.

The mother called 911 to report the incident. A rape kit was accomplished and the victim provided a written statement and is willing to cooperate with prosecution. The case is still under investigation.

Business burglar cuts hole in wall to gain entry: At 12:49 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the 29100 block of Pacific Highway S., the victim’s business was burglarized. The suspect cut a hole in the back wall to gain access.

Once inside, the suspect disconnected a video camera and then moved another camera toward the ceiling to avoid identification. The suspect also stole $200 from the cash register. Police at-

tempted to lift fingerprints from several locations in the business, however, they only found a partial print on the front of the cash drawer that is likely unusable.

Someone steals unattended car: At 1:31 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the 2300 block of SW 334th Place, an apartment resident left her car running with the keys in the ignition as it was parked in front of the apartment complex office. The resident went inside her apartment for a moment but returned to find her car missing.

Police have no known suspects at this time.

Suspect douses men with gas: At 5:24 a.m. on Oct. 31 in the 1600 block of SW 312th St., a man was assaulted as he was filling up his vehicle at a gas station. He was doused with gasoline on his clothing, face and mouth and believed he was going to be lit on fire. A witness saw the assault and as he approached the men, he too, was doused with gasoline. The suspect was arrested and booked into SCORE jail.

Convict who wants to go back to jail assaults officer: At 2:27 p.m. on Oct. 31 in the 2200 block of S. Commons, a police officer was bit by a man as he was being detained. The policeman, who was assigned as a mall officer and was in full police uniform, responded to Target to assist in removing a shoplifting suspect who refused to leave.

Squatter sentenced for breaking into and renting out homes

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

An Oregon man was sentenced to 60 days in King County Jail on Oct. 30 after being found guilty of residential burglary and first degree criminal impersonation for renting out a home he did not own in Federal Way. Chad Eichenberger, 37, broke into an empty Federal Way home and listed it for rent on Craigslist.

He gained access to the home by breaking into the realtor key box and taking the key inside.

On April 19, police were alerted by the home’s owner when he returned to the residence to find the renter moving furniture into the home. Police contacted both men.

The owner stated that he was renovating the home in order to sell it. He had placed the locked key box on the

front door.

The renter stated he had agreed to pay Eichenberger $500 a month for rent. He stated that he paid Eichenberger $1,200 to cover the first and last month’s rent and part of the security deposit.

He knew Eichenberger as a landlord named “John.”

The victim gave officers the address that he had met Eichenberger at earlier. When officers arrived at the address, they found another man whom Eichenberger had rented a room out to.

The man packed his belongings and left after suspecting the house did not belong to Eichenberger.

Officers returned to the house later in the day and arrested Eichenberger. He told them that he was hired by banks to maintain houses in foreclosure until the sales were final.

He was found in possession of several house keys.

A week after his arrest, Eichenberger contacted the victim whom he tried to rent the home to in order to try to convince him to drop the charges.

The victim, now homeless, called police instead.

Eichenberger had no prior felony convictions and could have been sentenced to restitution and community service.

The prosecuting attorney recommended 30 days in jail, but the judge decided on 60 days of work-release instead.

He was credited with serving 18 days at the time of the sentencing.

Eichenberger was also ordered to serve 240 hours of community restitution.

He is currently under investigation for breaking into and renting out other homes in Federal Way and may face additional charges.

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership

B

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone.

They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work.

Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area.

Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region.

Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support.

The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District.

Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service.

For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide.

The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites.

Boeing also supports military personnel and families. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month.

Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support.

With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

Is Boeing the largest building on earth?

TRUE. Guinness World Records list the Boeing Everett factory as the largest manufacturing building in the world by volume at 472 million cubic feet (13.3 million cubic meters).

Is Boeing a city?

TRUE. The Everett factory is like a small city, requiring its own fire department, security force, fully equipped medical clinic, electrical substations and water treatment plant.

The Boeing Factory employs 100,000 people.

FALSE. There are about 35,000 employees working at the Everett facility, and they work in three shifts around the clock.

The Boeing Factory is so big that it rains in the factory.

FALSE. Although the factory is the world’s largest building, it does not rain nor does it create any cloud/rain inside the factory building. However, when the factory was first built, clouds actually formed near the ceiling.

The weather cleared when an aircirculation system was installed.

Is there a maze of walkways running below the factory?

TRUE. There are 2.33 miles or 3.7 kilometers of pedestrian tunnels running below the factory. The tunnels are also utilized for operating the utilities and comes in handy during winter when getting around in the cold and snow can be a challenge.

Boeing employs more than 165,000 people worldwide.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth

C

hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial airplane market by 2030, creating opportunities worth billions for the Puget Sound region.

The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, including apples, cherries, hops and wine.

Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing.

China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release.

Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion by 2034, making them the company’s largest potential customer.

While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus.

The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the

competition with its Sept. 23 announcement to open a similar facility in China.

The company’s 40-year business relationship with China, which helped develop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advantage to come out on top.

An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework

Boeing Mechanics giving President Xi an airplane tour in the Everett factory.

for broader investment in U.S. and Chinese economies, according to previous reports.

Supporters say, if signed, an agreement with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” according to The Daily Herald. The agreement would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonetheless, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement.

With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be reduced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal announced Sept. 23 also involves delivering 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China.

Despite the competition and obstacles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamentals as in others: relationships, patience and investment.

For Boeing, all three are covered.

Q&A on

Boeing and China

Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others - in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.

Q:

What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?

A:

Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.

Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs

T

he Seattle metro area has experienced an impressive 15.5 percent growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a September report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth during that same time period.

Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a long-established presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are re-

sponsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employers over the past five years has been directly linked to the addition of thousands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, ensuring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintaining a healthy regional economy.

Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing production and employment in the United States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we produce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes valued at nearly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the entire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.

Q:

The Chinese economy seems to be struggling. Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?

A:

Our forecast for airplane demand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period. We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong growth over the long term.

Q:

What are the factors that determine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?

A:

First and foremost, Boeing has to deliver the best and most fuelefficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business

plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth. This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.

Q:

Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and delivery center in China?

A:

China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chinese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and delivery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese customers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will enable our planned production-rate increases in Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to collaborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.

Q: Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound?

A:

No. This facility in China increases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers combined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 production rates on the 737 program in coming years.

Once hired, employees participate in a five-day enhanced orientation focused on quality and safety followed by hands-on training with Airplane Programs or Boeing Fabrication. The second wave of more than 30 new hires from high schools and skills centers start the program this month.

“The goal of the Pierce County Skills Center is to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Michelle Ledbetter, director, Pierce County Skills Center in Washington state. “Our aerospace manufacturing students are excited about the opportunity to start their careers in manufacturing at Boeing. These are viable, well-paying jobs with great opportunities for professional development and advancement.”

Shevchuk echoed that sentiment. “I’m looking forward to starting my Boeing career and taking on some new challenges. And, at some point, pursue a college degree on the company.”

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

B

oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million.

The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack

of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education.

“This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,” Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.”

The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future, officials said.

“It allows us to reach more kids, allows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dramatically to reach underserved audiences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s investment. “What we find in our immer-

sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up going into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.”

Meanwhile, June Boeing represented her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match.

“He cared so deeply about the educational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

“Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing is really a special way for us to recognize local students like you who are committed to school, demonstrating leadership, are active in your local communities and are setting a great example for your peers,” Conner said in the video. “That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that the youth-focused organization you are part of has been selected as one of our 2015 Legion of Youth recipients.”

During each of the eight regular season games at CenturyLink Field in Se-

attle, 25 young people each will receive four game tickets and the opportunity to meet a former Seahawks player. They also are given concession vouchers and a Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing sweatshirt while at the game.

“Legion of Youth is an outstanding program that recognizes students who make positive contributions in the classroom and in the community,” Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin said. “We are pleased to partner with Boeing to provide tickets for deserving youth to be among the 12s on game day at CenturyLink Field.”

The Seahawks and Boeing select the community groups that receive the tickets.

Giving Back...

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community.

GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand

SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for homeless women. Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigerators replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support additional night shelters.

$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, oneday event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medical screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

REVISED DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENTS ON SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Proponent/ Lead Agency: King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, Solid Waste Division (the Division) Description of Proposal: The Algona Transfer Station was built in the mid-1960s. It is over-capacity, has no space for recycling, and uses outdated technology. The Solid Waste Transfer and Waste Management Plan (the Plan), which was the result of a regional, multi-year planning effort, recommended replacing the Algona Transfer Station with a new south county station. The Plan was approved by the King County Council in 2007 and reviewed again by the Council and King County cities in 2014. The Plan review reaffirmed the need for a new South County Recycling and Transfer Station which will serve the communities of and areas surrounding Algona, Auburn, Federal Way and Pacific for the next 50 years.

Determination of Significance/Scoping Notice(s):

On October 30, 2012, the Division issued a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Determination of Significance and Request for Comments on Scope of Environmental Impact Statement (DS/Scoping Notice). The DS/Scoping Notice identified two potential sites as “Action Alternatives” for the location of a new transfer station to be built on an alternate property that would be evaluated in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS): 901 C Street SW, Auburn, WA 98001 35101 West Valley Highway S., Algona, WA 98001 The DS/Scoping Notice also identified a “No Action Alternative”, which would retain the current Algona Transfer Station (located at 35315 West Valley Highway S., Algona, WA 98001). Agencies, Tribes, and members of the public were given until November 30, 2012 to provide comments on the scope of the EIS, with a public scoping meeting held on November 15, 2012.

On February 7, 2013, the Division issued a Notice of Revised Scope of Environmental Impact Statement and Extension of Scoping Comment Period.

That document identified a third potential site to be evaluated in the EIS: 28721 West Valley Highway S., Auburn, WA 98001, with public comments due February 28, 2013.

On March 8, 2013, Notice of Second Extension of Scoping Comment Period and Public Scoping Meeting on the third site was issued. A public scoping meeting was held on March 27, 2013, with public comments due on April 5, 2013.

Revised Scope of EIS and Renewed Scoping Comment Period: Subsequent environmental review has determined that the third potential site, located at 28721 West Valley Highway S., Auburn, WA 98001 and including the two parcels immediately adjacent to the west, is not a reasonable alternative, cannot feasibly attain the proposal’s objectives, and will be eliminated as an alternative for the location of a new transfer station.

An EIS, required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c), will be prepared for the two “Action Alternatives” and the “No Action” alternative listed in the DS/Scoping Notice issued on October 30, 2012. The EIS will cover aspects of the built and natural environment including, but not limited to, the following areas: earth, air, water, plants, animals, energy, natural resources, environmental health, land use, transportation, public services, and utilities.

Agencies, Tribes, and members of the public are invited to comment on the scope of the EIS. Comments will be accepted on the alternatives, mitigation measures, probable significant adverse impacts to the environment, and licenses, permits or other approvals that may be required. The Division will consider new comments, as well as comments received during the previous scoping periods.

Comments may be submitted via email to SCRTS.project@kingcounty.gov. Comments sent by mail should be addressed to King County Solid Waste Division, 201 S. Jackson Street, Suite 701, Seattle, WA 98104-3855, Attn: Tom Creegan, Project Manager.

Comment Deadline: The deadline for submittal of comments is November 24, 2015.

www.federalwaymirror.com anti-event center image and defeated former Mayor Skip Priest in large part on that position, along with his support for a public vote.

He now has adopted a new position and will have to stand for election in 2017 on that position. Accountability counts. After that, then it becomes old news.

Q. Why do you think Ferrell didn’t give the council a resolution asking for a public vote on the event center? What would they have done?

A. Ferrell knew if he gave the council a resolution asking for the event center to be placed on the ballot for a public vote, the council would have voted it down.

Ferrell didn’t want to start his term as mayor by losing a vote to the council.

However, what he failed to consider, if the council

had turned it down Ferrell would have kept his word to the public, and he could have then done what he is doing now. He could have maintained his campaign position and his integrity, and still built the building.

And he would have won both sides.

In this way, one side will never believe him again and the other side still isn’t all that sure about him. However, the reason the council would have turned down a public vote at that time is the public would have voted “no” on building the event center. A majority of the council wanted to build it.

So far there have not been any repercussions.

Q. You have been critical of City Hall and some of our leaders for being bullies. What do you mean by that?

A. Using your position to belittle or attempt to intimi-

date your citizens. The most recent example was a statement the mayor made after two residents, Matthew Jarvis and Byron Hiller, filed an initiative to try and control city spending on the event center. Ferrell disagreed with some of their comments.

Rather than respect the right of citizens to disagree or even have contrary position, the mayor allowed himself to get into a situation where he was calling one of his citizens a liar.

Then he made it worse by comparing the citizen to a

law breaker. Regarding their disagreement, the mayor said, “These are facts and facts matter. As a prosecutor for 19 years, I put people in prison based on facts.”

The disputed facts are less important than how the mayor addresses one of his citizens. Our right to free speech should be respected not ridiculed. Remember the quote, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Ferrell knew the initiative wouldn’t pass legal scrutiny with the city attorney.

Respect your citizens’ rights to speak openly, even when you disagree with them.

Man sentenced for drug conspiracy involving hash oil blast

Read us online 24/7 with regular updates www.federalwaymirror.com

FROM STAFF REPORTS

A Federal Way man who led an illegal marijuana “medibles” manufacturing operation was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to six years in prison and three years’ supervised release, announced U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.

Kevin Weeks, 25, directed others to use highly flammable butane gas to make hash oil.

On May 20, 2014 one operation at a Puyallup residence exploded and caught fire. The evidence showed that after the explosion, Weeks threatened an associate to keep him working and to hide Weeks’ own involvement. Weeks pleaded guilty in April 2015 to endangering human life while manufacturing controlled substances, maintaining a drug involved premises and manufacturing hash oil and marijuana.

“What disturbs the court about this case is the disregard for human life,” said a sentencing U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton. “The process of manufacturing marijuana into hash oil is dangerous and stupid. Threatening other people to do your bidding makes it a perfect storm.”

The hash oil manufacturing operation first came to the attention of law enforcement on May 20, 2014 when a large explosion shook a Puyallup residential neighborhood. Weeks’ co-defendant Seth M. Cleek was working for Weeks when he manufactured hash oil in the yard at the home and the explosive gas ignited. canisters 280945_4.75_x_6 4/7/15 Butane 11:05 AM Page 1 were hurled in every direction – put-

ting those living near the scene, and first responders at risk. One canister was driven through a plastic planter – demonstrating the force of the explosion. Fortunately Cleek’s family, including an 18-month-old child, was not injured in the blast.

“No one signed off on the use of dangerous manufacturing methods in residential neighborhoods when they voted to legalize marijuana,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. “Not only did the hash oil manufacturing process that this defendant used risk explosions, the final marijuana product was packaged to appeal to kids using an iconic logo from a children’s breakfast cereal. We will continue to investigate and prosecute these types of cases in coordination with our state and local partners.”

According to records filed in the case, Weeks was paying Cleek $10 for each “tube” of marijuana he turned into butane honey oil. The process, which involves forcing butane gas through marijuana clippings packed in a tube, and then boiling off the solvent, can prove highly explosive.

The fire resulting from the May 20, 2014 explosion melted the siding on the Puyallup home, damaged a parked car, and destroyed a plastic basketball backboard.

The investigation revealed that Weeks was the operator of the marijuana “medible” company ‘Cap’n Cosmics. The company had no state license to make marijuana products, and used marketing that mimics the look of the children’s cereal, “Cap’n Crunch.” Even after the explosion at the Puyallup residence, Weeks continued his hash oil manufacturing at a different location. About 1,800 pounds of marijuana and marijuana laced food products were seized in the investigation.

Graham-Kapowsin stood in the way of their goal in the third and final game of the tournament. The Eagles finished third in the South Puget Sound League South in the regular season. They were beaten by Kentridge in the first round of the tournament, but defeated Rogers in their second match.

The first set was back and forth as both teams struggled to break free of one another.

Neither team managed to get more than two points ahead throughout the set.

Ultimately, Beamer came out on top in the first set, winning 25-21.

The second set was much of the same.

With Beamer taking a 23-21, GrahamKapowsin head coach Loni Parks called a

Unlike in their game against Puyallup, the Titans continued to play hard even after a deflating blow. Despite their efforts, they fell in the next two sets by scores of 25-15 and 25-18.

They had difficulty stopping G-K’s Ayla Carpenter’s kill attempts. She finished with 26 kills in the match.

Even with the loss, Beamer head coach Pat Taitano expressed optimism for the team in the district playoffs.

“We talked about [the Puyallup loss],” Taitano said. “We worked on it at practice and made sure we were pretty focused on bouncing back. If a team beat us or played

Tyson Sonnenfeld added a touchdown as well on a 57-yard run.

The Raiders earned a home game with the win. They will play the KingCo’s third seed, Mount Si (6-3), tonight at 7 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Stadium in their week 10 crossover playoff game. The winner will face the winner of Graham-Kapowsin/Snohomish in the first round of the state playoffs.

A sluggish first three quarter saw the Raiders fall behind 14-9, but a monsterous fourth quarter led to 27 unanswered points.

An ill Kenny Turner led the way with four touchdowns and 200 yards rushing. A Statue of Liberty play at the end of the third quarter was the turning point.

On third and 16 from their own 14, Turner took the ball 68 yards down to the Kentlake 18-yard line. The Raiders took the

Beamer will take on one of the state’s best teams in Bellarmine Prep today at 1:45 p.m. at Kentwood High School. They are hoping to be one of six teams to advance to the state tournament.

The winner will play the champion of Kentridge and Kent-Meridian, while the loser will play the loser of that same matchup.

Beamer’s second match will take place at 5:30 pm on the same day, regardless of the outcome of the first match.

“I’m looking to see us suprise them,” Taitano said. “If we’re playing as a team and we’re super focused and things go our way,

Seattle settles with man for wrongful arrest

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

The city of Seattle recently settled a lawsuit with a Federal Way man for $35,000.

Randy Leshon Stevens sued the city in December 2014 for damages after a Seattle police officer wrongfully arrested him for kidnapping, robbery and attempted human trafficking.

“Mr. Stevens is satisfied with the resolution of his claims against the city of Seattle,” said Frank Cornelius, Stevens’s attorney with Cornelius Law Firm. “We believe it is unfortunate that his claims could not have been resolved sooner, without litigation. We hope that this case will lead to investigation and procedural changes by the city of Seattle.

Mr. Stevens should not have been wrongly accused and incarcerated. Mr. Stevens is looking forward to putting this awful experience behind him.”

Stevens was arrested in December 2012 after police thought he was involved in

the kidnapping of a then-22year-old woman in November 2011.

The Seattle woman went into a bar and woke up on the floor of a house in Seattle. She had no memory of what happened.

She was greeted by Tariq Shabazz, who has since been convicted, and discovered he had her cell phone and would not return it. A woman with a tan SUV showed up at the house and Shabazz ordered the victim to get into the vehicle.

The three drove around Seattle toward the Capitol Hill neighborhood until Shabazz saw a black SUV and said he thought they were the victim’s pimps and that she was probably a “good ho” and that he thought she earned “good money,” according to court documents. After threatening the victim that he was going to force her into prostitution and take her to Las Vegas, a second man got into the vehicle. Seattle police alleged that man was Stevens, which was determined later

November 6, 2015 [35]

www.federalwaymirror.com to be false.

The second man went through the victim’s purse and stole her driver’s license, passport, debit card, keys and ordered her to call her bank to verify the balance.

As they were in a parking lot to get copies of the victim’s keys, the second man took

out a switch blade and threatened the victim.

Fearing for her life, the woman jumped out of the moving vehicle. Although she struck the back of her head and sustained brain trauma for several weeks, the suspects fled the scene and she was able to get away.

A Seattle detective investigated the case and discovered Shabazz was her kidnapper early on in the case.

But the second male suspect’s identity was less clear. The detective tracked a telephone number he believed to be Stevens to a man

named Randy Stevens, an African-American man. Because Randy Leshon Stevens, also African-American, was in the booking database, the detective prepared a photo montage to show the victim.
