Chick-fil-A, TV studio coming to Federal Way

Bride mourns fiancé in memorial photo shoot

aybe Economic Development Director Tim Johnson was on to something when he said the filming industry could benefit Federal Way’s economy this past January.

According to the former California resident, a husband and wife are in the process of opening up “Hong Kong Market” on the northwest corner of South 356th Street and 21st Avenue South.

But the market isn’t an ordinary grocery store — it will be a television studio.

“They have a relationship with Food Network, so this is going to be one of their operations where they’ll be doing that kind of shooting,” Johnson said at the Federal Way City Council meeting on Tuesday.

Johnson stood before the council not only to share the interesting news of Hong Kong Market, but to update the community on several other key areas of economic development.

Lisa LaManna, the senior vice president of retail operations with Harsch Investment Properties, said Federal Way is about 5 percent vacant when it comes to retail spaces, a good

Finding the right gifts or [ more CHICK, page 3 ] the perfect food for a family dinner and braving the traffic and lines at crowded venues can take a toll on anyone.

Lauren Reynolds found a baker for her wedding cake, picked out a dress, a DJ for entertainment and had plenty of decorations ready to go for her special day.

Most of all, her heart was full.

“I just felt happy, I felt peace,” the Federal Way resident said. “Everything was just going in the right direction.”

But it all came crashing down one day in October 2014, a month before her wedding, when Reynolds had a strange feeling about her fiancé Tristin Woods.

“I was at a family activity and I hadn’t heard from him that morning yet, which was weird,” Reynolds said. “Then I got a text from his mom, asking if I had heard from him and I started to worry.”

Woods was in California, where he had family and had lived off and on.

Trying to figure out what was going on, Reynolds started calling around and got a hold of his aunt.

New alliance gears up to serve 1,200 low-income students for the holidays For others, such as Federal Way resident Katie Lang, the reality is a bit different. Simply knowing that they will have any gifts to give and dinner to provide for their family is a struggle.

She has four children, all of them boys. The eldest son is 12-yearsold and currently attends Lakota Middle School. There are also a pair

of 9-year-old twins and a 5-yearold, who currently attend Lake Grove Elementary.

Lang’s family lives off the commission that her husband Christian earns from his job at a moving company.

“It gets really tight around this time of year,” Lang said. “People mostly move during the sum-

mer, not the winter. It really slows down.”

Four years ago, Lang was contacted by a counselor at Lake Grove Elementary who informed her of the Adopt-a-Family program, which was run by the Federal Way Police Department. The program was created to help low-income [ more HOLIDAYS, page 2 ]

“It makes you sad when you can’t provide more things for your family. I was excited to know that we could receive these blessings. We’re in the holiday spirit now and we’re not stressing out.”

Lang says that when they last participated in 2013, they were able to get a full dinner for Thanksgiving and plenty of gifts for the children on Christmas. The kids were also able to go make gifts for the parents while the parents selected

other gifts.

“That year, my youngest was into farm stuff, so we got him a lot of farm animals,” Lang said. “We got the older boys ninja stuff because that’s what they were into at the time.

They also wrap the gift for you. We didn’t even have to worry about wrapping them.”

She has also seen the joy the event has brought to other families. Many of them have looked both excited and relieved because of the gifts they are able to give and receive.

The Adopt-a-Family program has increased this year and is set to serve 1,200 Federal Way students and their families this year.

At the beginning of this year, the Federal Way Police Department, South King Fire and Rescue, Grace Church and Communities in Schools headed the program.

It was there that they formed a new coalition, Federal Way Cares For Kids, and were joined by Multi-Service Center, Heritage Bank, Life and Health Chiropractic, St. Francis Hospital, Alaska Airlines and Americorp.

School counselors worked to find the families that were most in need of a helping hand for the holidays.

They will be able to take a family photo with Santa and will also be given a Christmas ham.

“It means so much that they can give my kids a real Christmas,” Lang said. “I really don’t have the words to express it properly.”

Federal Way Cares For Kids is hoping for contributions and volunteers from the community for

the event. They hope at least 300 volunteers will come out and help during their Holiday Family Support program on Dec. 18 and 19.

They are also accepting monetary donations online, new and unwrapped toys and $20 Walmart gift card donations at the Federal Way police station, City Hall, The Commons mall and any South King Fire and Rescue station.

and Pavilions’, all shopping centers in Federal Way. LaManna said one of the biggest retail trends across the country, and here in Federal Way, is “fast casual dining.” So much so, in fact, she says the investment company is about to sign a lease with fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A for the Celebration Center.

SeaTac Village will soon welcome a new tenant in June called Cafe Rio Mexican Grill, a retailer with 72 locations already. Cafe Rio will take the place of the Umpqua Sterling Bank merger location off of South 320th Street.

And LaManna said Harsch Investment Properties is negotiating to get the “little Arby’s building” that looks “pathetic and vacant” filled.

Jeff Strafford and Less Guillory with Seattle Pacific Realty are working to fill the former Alberton’s site at Campus Drive and 21st Avenue South.

Strafford said his firm

represents national tenants such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, PetSmart, Total Wine & More and Target, and he’s been working closely with Balboa Partners of California.

“These guys have tremendous contacts and investment in institutional and private equity,” he said, adding that he is marketing the building to get quality tenants. “We are very excited, it’s a great property and we believe in it and believe it will lease up very soon.”

Councilman Bob Celski said he was pleased that area is being focused on.

“I personally go to get my haircut at the Ivy’s right next door and I have a friend who owns the Allstate in that same strip mall just around the corner,” Celski said. “And I know they were all hurt, their businesses were hurt when that Albertson’s closed so I’m excited about the idea of bringing somebody in there to spur more business in the local area as well.”

Brynn Estelle Telkamp,

ing, he said he would like to meet individually with each council member to discuss the dramatic change he hopes to bring to the center in a short period of time.

“I would like to link the center to the park and performing arts center with restaurants and epicurean delights in an effort to enhance visitor experi-

ence,” MacDonald said in a statement Johnson read to the council.

City Center Plaza was sold for $14.2 million in July and is home to three strip mall buildings, which includes Subway, Total Vape, Starbucks and Red Lobster.

Moore, Celski and Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge thanked Johnson for the

update and the work he’s done and expressed hope for the future of Federal Way. “With our reinvention of the city’s center and Town Square, I’m hoping that brings more prospects for the businesses you guys all represent,” Celski said to LaManna, Strafford and Telkamp. “… We really are at an exciting time.”

a broker, sales and leasing agent with JSH Properties, is helping her client, the owner of Metropolitan Market, backfill the space the grocer occupied before it moved to Tacoma.

The 36,000 square feet the market left behind will be broken up into multiple spaces (ranging from 5,000 square feet to 10,000 to 18,000 square feet) to host a variety of different tenants.

“We need to think creatively about who to bring in to the space and how to demise the space,” Telkamp said, adding that they will add an extra entrance at the 10,000-square-foot space.

Telkamp said a reputable, family-oriented retail tenant has written a letter of intent for the space but didn’t disclose who it was.

She hopes to fill the center space with a fitness operator and the smaller space with a restaurant and is currently working on bringing Pot Belly Sandwiches and 85C Bakery Cafe, a popular Taiwanese cafe with 17 locations in California, to Federal Way. “It is fantastic news to hear about what’s going on with the Metropolitan Market,” said Councilman Martin Moore. “I know some of us on the Council and myself have talked to business owners in the Metropolitan area, like Splish Splash Doggie Bath, and all of them are affected

by Metropolitan Market, so I’m just really pleased to see that we’re doing stuff and we’re moving forward.”

Local espresso bar hosts Perk Up & Paint

ong after the morning caffeine buzz has lulled into lunch time, B&R Espresso Bar awakens again – but not until after-hours.

On those evenings, owners Russhele Arreola and Brian Todd host Perk Up & Paint, a painting class paired with coffee or wine and beer now that they have the license.

“We wanted to do something different as far as getting people entertained,” Arreola said, adding that she loves to draw and recently started painting. “I thought this would be fun at the shop.”

Arreola hosts the classes at her coffee shop, moving all of the furniture to make room for tables and miniature easels. The public classes are held twoto-three times a month for anywhere between $30-50 an adult and $25 for children. The price includes the instruction, canvas, paint and all materials and the class usually lasts anywhere from two to five hours, depending on if painters choose to paint a simple piece or a more complicat-

ed one, such as art all over an entire Seahawks helmet.

Arreola and Todd started Perk Up & Paint two years ago when they first opened B&R Espresso and Bar. Since then, its popularity has grown but they are hoping to expand the number of locations where the events are held.

“I’ve been trying to talk to other restaurants,” Arreola said. “There’s a restaurant down in Tacoma with a cowboy theme and line dancing. We’re trying to do more of their theme and now I’m starting on cowboy boots, hats and guitar [paintings].”

Last year, they hosted a private event at Victory Fitness and often throw birthday parties, bachelorette parties, church and corporate parties.

Arreola said the parties are catered to women, men and children. If she knows she’ll be hosting a children’s birthday party, she typically has them paint what they like but Olaf the snowman from “Frozen” has made an appearance a time or two.

“A lot of the girls like My Little Pony,” Arreola said, noting there’s a 10-year-old girl’s birthday party coming

Meet Federal Way Rotarian Jack Butcher. Originally from Tacoma, Jack and his wife Linda moved to Federal Way in 1972, where they founded what would become Industrial Bolt and Supply, now located in Auburn. He and Linda retired in 2007, and today IBS is operated by their two adult children, Michelle and Derek. The company operates in nine western states and employs 47 people.

ROTARY: Jack joined Rotary in 1988. He was looking for an opportunity to add value to the community and internationally, and Rotary seemed like a good fit. As a polio survivor, Jack admired Rotary International’s Polio Plus campaign – an initiative to eradicate polio worldwide through the mass vaccination of children. Before long, Jack and Linda found themselves on their first of two trips to Ethiopia, administering vaccine drops to children and helping to build international good will.

In addition to his involvement in various scholarship programs, school-related projects and other charitable endeavors, Jack is a “Team Captain” for FWR’s February 27th, 2016 Gala, and is presenting the series “The Purpose of Rotary” at FWR’s weekly lunch meetings. Jack has been a FWR Board Member and was Club President in 1999-2000.

INTERESTS: Jack and Linda are very active in their church – Church of the Good Shepherd in Federal Way. Over the years, Jack has held nearly every position in the church except priest! Linda is involved with the Women’s Shelter, and with Federal Way Care Givers, which is operated from the parish.

FAMILY: Jack has been married to his wife Linda for 52 years. They have two adult children, Michelle St. John, and Derek Butcher.

Find the expected and uncharted at Toyoda Sushi is a simple but powerful composition; a Noguchi sculpture in a bowl.

Next, perhaps, there may be kind of a combination plate, which in early winter may contain a cross-section of lightly cured Mackerel; a hunk of baby sanma sharing a skewer with a cube of dense tofu; a teaspoonful of slivered squid piled into a hollowed-out yuzu; and a few stalks of rice plunged into hot oil until the grain pops like rice krispies.

A tiny teapot turns out to hold the first miso broth of the day. You pour a bit of the soup into a saucer and inhale the fragrance: forest floor, wet trees, a sulfurous hint of distant fireworks. You squeeze a drop or two of juice from a Robert Colbert

the sushi can sometimes remind you less of fresh fish than of delicate, exquisitely scented Japanese charcuterie. The aim is sushi without compromise. The diverse menu and a proclivity towards omakase, or chef ’s choice, gives Toyoda a throwback feel that is just right.

So to begin, there is nabeyaki udon, a gilded celadon bowl holding steaming udon noodles with tempura prawns, chicken, boiled egg and vegetables and a few dots of yuzu zest. Quite possibly the specialty of the house!

You discover a single strand of pickled gobo root, which with powerful earthiness slices through the marine richness of the delightful Seaweed salad.

A TASTE & A SIP

S

ince the day it opened, Toyoda Sushi has attracted mobs to their campus highlands neighborhood location, a non-descript façade in a non-descript shopping center on First Avenue.

On sunny weekends, the wait for a table can last a half-hour or more. This restaurant is small and only now accepts reservations.

It also happens to serve the best sushi, sashimi and ramen soup in our sushicrazed town. Toyoda Sushi is a solid version of a classic edomae-style sushi bar, intimate and stunningly inexpensive, specializing in fish prepared using century-old techniques developed to preserve seafood as much as to flavor it, curing with seaweed, salting and pickling.

The chef, as well as most of the seafood, comes from Tokyo. Here at Toyoda,

sudachi, Japanese lime, into the saucer, and the scent transforms into pure pine; a truly magic aroma.

And then the sushi comes, perhaps tekka maki, a Japanese tuna seasoned with yuzu and a little salt; the green river roll, unagi, cucumber and avocado; or yellowtail belly, crosshatched with deep cuts, with a dot of the pepper paste yuzu kosho, or kohada, pickled to the exact point of succulence with a little soy. This is followed by the effable toyoda sashimi, chef ’s choice of the freshest ash pick of the day. Today just happens to be a cube of fish jelly, garnished with crunchy skin and a small sashimi platter with Santa Barbara sea urchin and a few cubes of ahi.

A small bowl of rice topped with salmon roe and sea urchin. An oldfashioned spider roll sushi,

pressed and cut as if sliced from a log, and the usual fried soft shell crab, cucumber unagi and shrimp.

There is tempura shrimp, cucumber and sriracha tuna, known here as the “Sex in the City” roll, or my personal favorite, the Mexican roll-crabmeat, avocado, jalapenos in a sweet sauce.

You will eat a lot here.

If you are fortunate enough to be joined by a few companions, the Lucky Boat may be for you.

Eighteen pieces of sushi, 14 pieces of sashimi (all 32 pieces chef ’s choice) alongside 16 pieces of everyone’s favorite, the California roll, and two pieces of inarisweet tofu.

On a single occasion, I was blessed to eat sea cucumber roe at Toyoda Sushi, a delicacy rare and expensive even in Japan (not on the everyday menu). The egg sacs were

cured, layered and dried into flat triangles the size, shape and alarming orange color of nacho cheese Doritos. Toasted, crowned with a few grains of fried rice and served warm, the chip was earthy and chewy, slightly briny, with a faint aroma of grilled hazelnuts.

It is unlikely I will ever taste anything quite like it again. Sea cucumber roe is not large — it may take thousands of eggs to make a single chip. It was like taking a bite out of the 19th century. So be prepared to find the expected and perhaps even the completely uncharted at Toyoda Sushi, and that joyful smile will grace your countenance for long after your meal has ended.

Toyoda Sushi is located at 32911 First Ave. S., Federal Way. For more information, call 253-838-1476.

Budget Blinds announced a system-wide push to further educate consumers about child-safe window covering products, including offering window covering safety audits to homeowners and providing child safe retrofit kits that modify blind or shade cords in the home to reduce the risk of strangulation.

“Child safety has always been a top priority for us,” said Cassy and Paul Moorhead, owners of Budget Blinds of Federal Way. “ … We take pride in being product experts, especially in window covering safety, and our goal is to help educate consumers on products, options and features to keep their home safe while still enjoying beautiful window coverings.”

Budget Blinds requires its manufacturing partners to comply with safety regulations as determined by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association and Health Canada. Manufacturing partners also participate in the association’s new “Best for Kids” program, a safety program in which products must be submitted to a Window Covering Manufacturers Association-recognized third party testing laboratory. Products that meet stringent criteria will be eligible to be listed and labeled on packaging and materials as “certified” Best for Kids.

“Parents should know it’s not so much the window treatment itself but the cords that operate the window treatment that pose a strangulation hazard,” Cassy Moorhead said.

TCC, the largest Verizon premium wireless retailer in the U.S., will open a new store in Federal Way on Friday.

Located at 35007 Enchanted Parkway S., the new store offers guests the ultimate experience in interactivity while shopping for wireless devices, accessories and home solutions and is designed as a destination for guests to get hands-on with the latest wireless devices.

TCC will hold a grand opening event for the Federal Way community with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Nov. 20. During the event, guests can enjoy free food from Subway. In celebration of the new store, TCC will make a charitable donation to Pacific Bonsai Museum.

“We’re excited to welcome the Federal Way community to their newest local wireless store,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of TCC. “Shopping at TCC provides customers the opportunity to receive exemplary customer service from our expert staff.”

TCC was recently recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the fifth consecutive year. To learn more about the company, visit www.tccrocks.com.

The SD Reiki Practice/Gentle Birth and Rebirth Reiki Sanctuary recently opened in Federal Way. “While some local massage therapists offer reiki to their clients that is not their primary service,” said Leah McDuffie, owner of Gentle Birth and Rebirth and a certified child birth instructor. “At our new offices, SD Reiki Practice and Gentle Birth and Rebirth have created a dedicated Reiki center, offering healing and classes as well as sharing and mentoring for other Reiki practitioners.”

Reiki is a Japanese word that is generally thought to mean “life‐force energy.” Fully trained and attuned Reiki practitioners can improve the flow of Ki (or chi) to encourage tranquility, induce a relaxed state, reduce pain and accelerate emotional and spiritual healing. SD Reiki Practice is operated

by Stephanie Davisson, Reiki master/teacher. She has been offering healing to her clients since 2009 and has been teaching since 2013. The new practice is located at 1305 S. 312th St., Suite 101. For information, call 206‐719‐0546.

Last week, Federal Way Mirror editor Carrie Rodriguez disclosed that the city’s highest paid employee — Mayor Jim Ferrell’s Chief of Staff Brian Wilson — has been seeking to supplement his city salary of $147,888 with an additional $82,524 in retirement income.

This news may have come as a surprise to some city employees and certainly the public at large. However, the City Council should have been aware, as Wilson was already receiving two retirement benefits from the city, one of $6,000 in a 401(a) retirement plan and the city was also paying part of his $19,620 in deferred compensation.

Wilson has sought the retirement benefits from the Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters (LEOFF) Plan for his time in the Police Department. He was denied the benefits by the state Department of Retirement Systems on two occasions and is appealing again. While Wilson is entitled to his appeal, based on the record to date it seems unlikely a different decision will be made when the verdict is announced in January.

But the bigger problem for City Hall may be a political one. Fair or not, and it might not be fair, citizens will judge Wilson’s salary and benefits against the backdrop of City Hall political actions and community standards, and it could become an issue when Ferrell and three members of the City Council are up for re-election in 2017.

Federal Way is not a wealthy community and the average annual income is approximately $40,000. Over half of the students that attend Federal Way Public Schools receive free lunch based on income criteria. This is also a conservative community that doesn’t like taxes, or high salaries for public employees. There has already been a division among the citizens about priorities and City Hall spending. The city just broke ground on the controversial Performing Arts and Events Center priced at over $30 million dollars. They spent $8 million on buying the former Target building.

After a lengthy process, the city finally put up some money toward a homeless shelter at $50,000 this year and $50,000 next year. But that still left the project $30,000 short, and again raised questions about priorities.

Can you hear the comparisons being made by voters, or future candidates for office?

But then add the reason Wilson’s request was turned down. He requested retirement benefits because he was retiring as chief of police. The state rejected his request because they said he wasn’t really retiring. He was changing jobs to be chief of staff.

Retirement systems are for retirees, and the state Legislature has tightened the rules on retire-rehire positions to avoid double dipping [ more ROEGNER page 8 ]

A

s a child, I remember the lone Christmas my family celebrated when I was 4 years old.

My younger sister woke me up early on Christmas morning and the two of us ran downstairs into the family room, where we stared in awe at the colorful tree. Stacked underneath the tree were wrapped gifts and we tore open one of the packages — a yellow dump truck for our younger brother — before our mother came downstairs and stopped the tyranny.

I remember holding up little pink teacups and playing tea with my sisters, before we gathered around the TV and watched actor Dick Van Dyke, playing an eccentric inventor, turn an old Grand Prix into a fancy car for his children in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

It was a time of spending meaningful moments with my siblings. It was a magical Christmas and one I will always fondly remember and cherish.

Our family stopped celebrating the holiday after that for religious purposes.

Years later in the seventh grade, my English teacher assigned my class to write a short story about the mystery of Christmas and Santa Claus.

Our local newspaper had launched a contest calling on kids to write on this topic.

As a child who grew up with nearly no Christmases, I was all-too-familiar with the mystery of Christmas. My younger sister and I even wrote a letter to Santa one Christmas Eve and placed it on our bedroom windowsill that included a drawing and description of where we lived, in case Santa had forgotten. We were heartbroken to see the letter still sitting on the windowsill the following morning and wondered why his reindeer still couldn’t find us.

But when I wrote my story for that newspaper contest, I didn’t include any of these sad details. I used my lone happy Christmas experience to fuel my story, which included a group of sisters sneaking up the stairs on Christmas Eve to see a mysterious glare under our parent’s bedroom door. The dazzling light was a metaphor for Santa and all the warmth and happiness the holiday brings.

My story won first place and the week of Christmas, it was published in the local newspaper and I received a $50 cash prize.

Now I’m bringing this contest full circle as the Mirror launches our holiday contest for students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade.

Credit to local hero, sex columnist Go Parker Ewing! Your bravery and love for your great grandfather inspires

us all!

Go Amy Johnson! She actually got around to a more sensible part of her “sexually savvy” strategy: know the risks, make a plan and be careful. Thank you, Amy. But she left out the part that goes: “Teens, you really shouldn’t be behaving like married adults here.

You’re brains aren’t even finished developing, but if you insist on pursuing this foolish course, at least learn about the risks and take these precautions. You’ll have a higher chance of being physically protected,

but all bets are off when it comes to your heart and soul in future relationships.”

Too bad her column couldn’t have been presented all at once. Her message is more balanced with the whole thing in place. Yet beyond myself, I bet all sane parents and probably the entire church-going population in this city would say it differently, but I’ve got to give credit where it is due.

Thank you Auburn for Veterans Day event I would like to thank the city of Auburn for the wonderful Veterans Day celebration on Nov 7. Even though the weather was not good, there were still over 5,000 participants and more than 20,000 spectators.

Highlights of the day began with a rememberance and lighting of the flame in Veterans Park. Then

there was the parade. It was huge. It took more than two hours to pass the reviewing stand. There were many veterans groups and military vehicles. High schools had large groups of ROTC marchers. Most impressive were the high school bands.

There were large numbers.

Their uniforms looked great and they came from as far away as Grants Pass, Astoria and Spokane.

And I had the honor of riding in the first car with Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus. Thank you, Auburn.

after several high profile cases resulted in public outrage. Could this shine additional attention on the issue when the Legislature convenes in January?

Ferrell, Wilson and Wilson’s attorney maintain that no decision on Wilson becoming chief of staff was made prior to Jan. 1, 2014 when Ferrell officially took office because Ferrell had no authority to make an agreement. However, the state maintains that a deal was made in December and points to a press release from the city announcing Wilson’s appointment and internal documents from the city attorney and Human Resources director to verify the deal and supply support for the state’s deci-

www.federalwaymirror.com sion. They believe Wilson took an unpaid four-day break in service before starting his new job and that does not constitute a retirement. And the mayor-elect’s authority?

If the mayor-elect says in December that he wants a particular event, such as a hiring to take place in January, it is going to happen.

And it did.

The law allows former police and fire officers, many of whom retire at a younger age, to collect their retirement and still take another job elsewhere in government. The key phrase being “retire.” Had Wilson been retired for an extended period of time the state might have allowed the double dip. But four days doesn’t really look like a retirement.

Wilson and his attorney say a city staff

person talked to the Department of Retirement Systems and that they were following the rules as prescribed. To a point, that may be true, but did the city staff person disclose all of the particulars, including the four-day break? If they had, the state would have told them Wilson wasn’t eligible. Also, nowhere in the documents does the city identify the state employee who was contacted. If you were the city, documenting “who” you talked to on Wilson’s behalf would seem like an important piece of information.

However, after the first denial, when all the facts were known, it might have been more prudent for Wilson to drop the appeal.

The public may not always understand the particulars of the retirement system, but they do understand numbers and they are

likely to view Wilson’s current package, let alone his desire to add another $82,524, as extravagant and out of step with community expectations of public salaries.

Mayor Ferrell backed his chief of staff as you would expect. He really doesn’t have much choice, as he was part of the decisions. But the public has already started to weigh in, as the story went to the top of the “most read list” at the Mirror overnight.

Most citizens will be afraid to criticize Wilson, Ferrell or the situation. But how will the rest of the local politicians react?

Q&A with Mr. FW: Batting averages and the mayor’s strikeout

Q

: Mr. Federal Way, what did you think of all of the election results?

A: Well, Mr. Federal Way for one is glad it is over. Mr. Federal Way knows about as much about politics as the interior workings of the human digestive tract, though, they both produce about the same results.

All in all, there weren’t

too many surprises. Teri Hickel defeating incumbent Carol Gregory was probably about the biggest and even that wasn’t a huge surprise as she led by two points coming out of the primary.

Perhaps the biggest issue Mr. Federal Way sees is the lack of good talent available. A good majority of all of the politicians was a

recycle of previous elections or not even worth the vote. One was so unqualified he doesn’t even have transportation. Hard telling how that was going to work. “Hey mayor, if I vote with you at tonight’s City Council meeting, can I bum a ride home?”

Another has shoes older than Mr. Federal Way. Seriously. He said so at the

debates. For the 16 of you who did take the time to vote, thank you for that.

Go find the candidates you voted for. They should buy you a drink. You’ve earned it.

Q: What is the deal with the Mirror’s editorial board and all of their endorsements? Do they ever get any of their endorsements correct?

A: Not really. Their batting average is lower than the Mariners.

Perhaps some of them should be traded also.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, these things are notoriously hard to predict. No one knows what the general public will do.

Case in point. The public picked candidate Mark Greene over Anthony Murrietta in the primary election. Who saw that one?

If you said you did, you’re lying? Not even Greene was foolish enough to pick himself.

Mr. Federal Way consulted the paper’s political guru Bob Roegner on this and posed this same question. He said, in a nutshell — that boy likes to hear himself talk — that the Mirror’s editorial board usually picks who should win, not who will win. This is where the politics come in and the board doesn’t like to play politics. This is probably more true than not.

Mr. Federal Way can attest to this as I like politics about as much as that 50-year-old “men’s exam” I have coming up. The board has quite a few older men.

They can relate and based on the relative age of the people calling into the front desk, so can most of you.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I was disheartened to see the Federal Way mayor was not at the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards gala on Saturday.

Isn’t this a major event?

A: The bigger question is why didn’t Mayor Jim Ferrell bother to attend this major event? Mr. Federal Way gets sick from time to time, especially of Federal Way’s politics. So if the mayor truly was sick and couldn’t attend, then it better have been due to a major flu or E. coli.

Mr. Federal Way also knows how important it is to attend his kids’ soccer and football games, but checking the local sports schedules, Mr. Federal Way is unaware of any sports happenings between 6-9 p.m. on Saturday. So “spending family time” is not a good enough excuse either, Mr. Mayor.

Why should the mayor attend the Chamber’s gala?

One of the organization’s core goals is to improve the economic vitality not only for its members, but for the entire community and region.

And, coincidentally, one of the mayor’s main goals is to improve economic vitality for Federal Way. This is why he built, re-built and re-rebuilt a downtown park that, along with the Performing Arts and Events Center, will create an actual downtown for Federal Way and serve as a catalyst for downtown development.

“Federal Way will be a city in which the economic recovery takes full root and takes off, we’ll actively recruit new businesses and retain existing businesses, we’ll stimulate an economic renaissance in the downtown that transforms the core of our city …” Ferrell said in his 2013 state of the city address that the Chamber hosted.

In that same speech he said the city would “link arms with our business community to strengthen our economy …”

Apparently, the mayor’s arms were too tired on Saturday.

During the event, Chamber CEO Rebecca Martin recognized three businesses for their leadership in the region, including St. Francis Hospital, the Federal Way Farmer’s Market and the Northwest Seaport Alliance. These are prestigious local awards and certainly deserving of the mayor’s applause.

But perhaps his hands were too tired as well on Saturday.

Business leaders in Federal Way should feel the mayor ignored them on Saturday as they were not important enough to draw him to Tacoma for a few hours. What does that say about our fair city of Federal Way that our own mayor was absent at the event, but Milton Mayor Debra Perry was present to show her regional support for the business community? Tsk, tsk.

Mr. Federal Way thanks all, err, the two council members who did bother to show up — Councilwoman Susan Honda and Jeanne Burbidge. There were also [ more MR. FW page 18 ]

CHRISTIAN FAITH SCHOOL TAKES THIRD IN VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS Christian Faith School took third place in the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association 1B volleyball championships last Friday and Saturday.

The Eagles opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over Odessa/Harrington. They won 25-12, 25-15, 25-11.

They again won in straight sets in the second round, defeating Providence Classical Christian 25-21, 25-17, 25-22.

Their third match saw them fall 3-1 to eventual state champion, Oaksdale. They won the first set 19-25, but dropped the next three 25-18, 25-13, 25-17.

The Eagles rebounded against Mount Vernon Christian by winning in straight sets once again. They took third place with the 25-19, 25-19, 25-15 win.

Ciera Zimmerman led the team with 91 kills during the tournament. Dacey Limon led the team in digs with 30.

Federal Way second grader excels in NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition

events. The total distance is based on both accuracy and distance in feet and inches.

If a contestant throws the ball 50 feet, but throws the ball 10 feet to the side of the measuring tape, their score is 40 feet.

The city of Kent competition on Sept. 14 was the first stop for Patrick this year. He excelled that day, finishing with a total distance of 149 feet 9 inches. Second place finished with a total distance of 73 feet 1 inch.

The results were not instant for Patrick. His grandfather, John Ansotigue, says they followed the advice of Patrick’s favorite player, Russell Wilson.

“The preparation creates separation,” John Ansotigue said. “Last year his tee kick,

with no preparation, was 8 feet. This year, he kicked 53 feet off the tee. We just practiced. Good practice creates good results.”

Patrick practices with his grandfather every other day. He decided that he wanted to get better and took up practicing each of the events.

“My favorite is punting,” Patrick said. “I like being able to kick the ball really far. It’s easier than passing and [kicking]. That’s why I like it the most.”

His hard work paid off with his second win of the year in the sectional competition held in Kent on Oct. 25. Competitor locations ranged from Federal Way to the Canadian border.

He won the event by 20

feet. It was held outdoors in rainy conditions. He and his family waited, hoping that the rain had not cost him a chance at competing at the Seahawks Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

They had to wait for the results of 10 other sectional competitions across the four states. On Nov. 11, they finally received word that he did have one of the top four distances.

“I felt OK,” said Patrick when asked about how it felt to make it. He then changed his answer to “very good” while giving a thumbs up sign. His mother then stated that he was downplaying his excitement.

“It’s been fun watching him,” said John Ansotigue.

“As long as he’s having fun

doing it, we’ll keep doing it.

It’s all dependent on him.

We won’t push any agenda.

We want him to take it as far as he wants to take it.”

Patrick is hoping to meet some of his favorite players like Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman and KJ Wright when he goes to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

If he is able to win the competition, he will get a sideline experience at an upcoming Seahawks game as well as a possible opportunity to represent the team in the national competition, depending on his distance.

“I would be 1,000 times a million excited [to go to the game],” Patrick said.

“He’s a huge football fanatic,” his mother said.

“He just keeps winning and having fun. We’re proud of him.”

When he’s not practicing for the competition, Patrick likes watching sports and playing his sports video games.

His favorite sport is baseball and he is also a soccer fan. Along with Wilson, Clint Dempsey tops his favorite athletes list.

Wilson topped his favorite player list because “he’s nice, he’s good at football and he’s good at throwing.”

Patrick will compete alongside three other children in his age group at the Seahawks Virginia Mason Athletic Center practice facility on Nov. 28.

Federal Way secondgrader has been channeling his inner Steven Hauschka, Russell Wilson and Jon Ryan as he recently dominated the competition in the NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition.

Patrick Fleming, 7, was recently announced as one of the top four competitors from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana in his age group.

The Christian Faith School student will have the opportunity to win the region and possibly represent the Seattle Seahawks in the national competition if he wins the next phase of the competition.

Patrick’s mother, Staci Ansotigue, was the first person to suggest that he participate in the competition.

“I just tried it out and then I liked it,” Patrick said.

“I kept on winning it and kept on going.”

“He didn’t really know much going into it,” Staci Ansotigue said. “This is his second year. The first year, we went for soccer and he saw it and said let’s try it out, let’s do football too. He’s never played on a team or anything before. He tried it and he finished third. So we tried it again this year.”

High school girls swimming and diving champions crowned in Federal Way The Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association 2A, 3A and 4A Swimming and Diving Championships were held at the Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center on Nov. 12-13.

The Liberty Patriots of Renton repeated as the 2A state champions, finishing ahead of Squalicum by a score of 310-283. They finished in the top three in eight out of 12 events, including wins by Ellie Hohensinner in the 500-yard freestyle event and their 400-yard freestyle relay team.

Another repeat took place in the 3A championships when the Lakeside Lions of Seattle edged out Mercer Island by a score of 297-266. Lakeside picked up wins in the 200 and 400-yard relays to go along with Amber Chong’s victory in the 1-meter diving event. They had eight top three finishers in the 12 events.

The Skyline Spartans of Sammamish took home the 4A state championship, their second in five years. They topped second place Newport of Bellevue by a score of 293-257. The Spartans picked up wins in the 200 and 400-yard freestyle relay events. They had a top-three finisher in seven of the 12 events.

Decatur’s Meghann McLaughlin was the lone representative from the Federal Way school district to compete. She competed in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events. McLaughlin finished eighth in the 500-yard freestyle event. Her efforts were enough for Decatur to tie Mountain View and Union for 32nd place. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror

CITY LOWERS FLAG TO HALF-STAFF IN HONOR OF PARIS VICTIMS

The U.S. flag was lowered to half-staff in Federal Way and at federal buildings across the country at the direction of President Barack Obama to show support for France following the recent terrorist attacks.

Mayor Jim Ferrell ordered the flag to be flown at half-staff until sunset on Thursday, Nov. 19.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of France and the families of those who have lost loved ones as a result of this terrorist attack,” Ferrell said in an email to city staff on Monday. In his proclamation, Obama said the “terror attacks were not just an attack on Paris; they were an attack on all humanity ...”

Group Health, Boy Scouts collect sleeping bags, tents for homeless

Simon Edwards and Kyle Olsen, right, with Boy Scout Troop 336, accept a donated sleeping bag from Debra McGlothlen of Windermere Real Estate.

Sleeping pads are critically important to keep homeless insulated from the cold

BY ANDREW FICKES For the Mirror

W

ith more wet, rainy weather and the possibility of snow in the forecast for the coming winter months, individuals who find themselves homeless in Federal Way are grappling with the ability to stay warm and dry.

Sharry Edwards, a nurse at Group Health in Federal Way for more than 20 years and who last January made the Caregiver’s Network laundry program a once-amonth service to the homeless, is once again showing compassion for the less fortunate via putting forth a month-long donation drive through Nov. 30, to collect tents, tarps, sleeping bags and sleeping pads for the homeless.

“There are many reasons that people are homeless, but our place is not to judge that right now with winter quickly approaching,” Edwards said. “Some homeless live outside and some in their vehicles.

People can find themselves homeless very quickly, and it’s important for any city to have emergency supplies such as these available to folks that might be in sudden need.”

Edwards’s idea to launch

a month-long donation drive was inspired by her colleagues at Group Health who asked her how they could help the homeless more. After the Mirror’s June article about Edwards’s laundry event at Dash Point Laundry, Group Health’s management team contacted Edwards and asked if they could write a story about her volunteer work in Federal Way. The story was read by Group Health’s 8,000 statewide employees over a two-week span.

“I started getting messages right away about how the work I was doing was inspiring others,” Edwards explained. “Some of my coworkers in the Federal Way clinic asked me what they could do and what do the homeless need more than anything.”

Over the past several months, Edwards took that question to the homeless individuals attending the monthly laundry event and the weekly community suppers.

“Most responses were tents, tarps and sleeping bags,” Edwards said. “They explained to me that a tent is worthless without a good tarp or two.”

The homeless Edwards talked with also said having

Courtesy of Sharry Edwards

a two-person tent is best for one person, because it allows enough space for sleeping and storing belongings. Edwards said larger tarps are recommended.

“One homeless woman named Mary explained to me that she had two tents stolen in the last year,” Edwards said. “(Mary) said that she is really worried about going into this wet and cold winter, because last year the Multi-Service Center did not have a supply of these types of donations as they have had in the past.”

To enlist the help of Group Health and get her colleagues involved, Edwards has made the Group Health clinic in Federal Way as one of the drop-off locations for donated sleeping supplies.

Edwards said her 13-year-old son Simon, a Tenderfoot in Boy Scout Troop 336, has been a constant source of inspiration for her as she’s helped the homeless. Simon, she said, always wants to help in any way he can.

With that in mind, Edwards naturally approached Troop 336 Scout

Master Guy Olsen if he and his Boy Scouts would like to partner on the donation drive. Right away, Olsen quickly took to the opportunity to serve the homeless.

“The theme for us over the last few months has been helping the homeless,” Olsen said. “In October, we served dinner to the homeless through Project Reach Out. (The donation drive) is a natural fit for us.

“We spend a lot of time camping,” Olsen added.

“Our motto is ‘be prepared.’

People who are in that situation—they become experienced campers. They’re literally in a survival situation. Service for the scouts is what we’re called to do.

Our slogan is ‘do a good turn daily.’ We keep our eyes peeled for these opportunities and the projects come to us.”

Olsen encouraged Edwards to add sleeping pads to the requested donation items. He explained to Edwards that it’s critical to keep the body at least two inches off the ground to stay warm.

“A tent is nice, but a sleeping pad will insulate you from the ground,” Ol-

sen explained. “The ground will pull the heat right out of you. It’s just as important to have insulation under you, as over you. If you can stay dry, that’s like 70 percent of the job. The whole point is keeping your temperature at 98.6 degrees.”

Meanwhile, Simon Edwards is one of more than 20 boys in Troop 336, ranging in age from 10 to 17.

He said it’s important for his Boy Scout troop to help the homeless, especially this time of year.

“They shouldn’t be in the woods this time of year,” Simon said. “I think they really need to have sleeping bags this time of year.”

County Council to vote on funding for performing arts center

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

The King County Council is expected to vote on an ordinance next Monday that would provide a $2 million 4Culture grant to Federal Way’s Performing Arts and Events Center.

The council budget committee unanimously recommended Ordinance 20150471 to the council on Nov. 12. The council took public testimony on the legislation on Monday and plans to take action Nov. 23.

Mayor Jim Ferrell said the city has been hoping and planning for the grant, which has been outlined as pending funds in the Performing Arts and Events Center budget for some time.

“What’s really exciting about this is the total money we can count on now is $18.5 million,” Ferrell said, noting the city had previously secured $16.5 million with $4 million of that coming from the Legislature when the project is expensed.

The city is still looking for funds to close the multi-million dollar gap of the $32.75 million events center, which will be covered by an inter-fund loan if the city cannot sell the naming rights to the project, obtain New Market Tax Credits or other fundraising efforts.

Ferrell said the city will likely know at the end of the year how much Community Development Block Grant money they’ll acquire (the hope is for $3 million), and whether or not New Markets Tax Credits

are available or not.

“We’re ready to go and we’re ready to jump in if funding becomes available,” Ferrell said, adding the city does plan to apply for the tax credits next year if they don’t get the funds they need by the end of this year. “I think we’re in really good shape down the road for these [community development entities], even if it doesn’t come in this year.”

The 4Culture grant the city expects to receive comes from a partnership between King County and 4Culture for the implementation of the “Building For Culture Program.”

The program will use bonds backed by the hotel-motel tax to build, maintain, expand and preserve new and future cultural

facilities.

According to county documents, the program was proposed by King County Executive Dow Constantine after the county was able to pay off Kingdome bonds early this March. The program would be funded through the $20 million bonds (with the final amount to be determined based on updated revenue forecasts).

Several other cities and organizations around the county are slated to receive funds from the program. These include $1 million to the Highline Historical Society, $200,000 to the city of Auburn and $33,000 to the city of Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department, among 130 others.

said, ‘I’m sorry honey, but Tristin died in a car accident during the night,’” she said.

“I just fell to the ground and started screaming. I just lost control.”

Reynolds said she was overcome with darkness on the worst day of her life.

Woods was a passenger in a vehicle that had an intoxicated driver, who wrecked after driving 110 mph on the freeway. Woods, strangely, was the only one who wasn’t wearing his seat belt and the only one who died.

“The hardest part about that is Tristin never ever got into a car and didn’t put his seat belt on, so it just didn’t make any sense,” she said.

“His grandfather had died in a car accident and he was so cautious about that, so it’s just the weirdest thing.”

That was just about a year ago. Reynolds would have celebrated her first year anniversary with Woods on Nov. 8, the wedding date they had planned.

Instead, on the one-year

Lauren Reynolds found a baker for her wedding cake, picked out a dress, a DJ for entertainment and had plenty of decorations ready to go for her special day.

Most of all, her heart was full.

“I just felt happy, I felt peace,” the Federal Way resident said. “Everything was just going in the right direction.”

But it all came crashing down one day in October 2014, a month before her wedding, when Reynolds had a strange feeling about her fiancé Tristin Woods.

“I was at a family activity and I hadn’t heard from him that morning yet, which was weird,” Reynolds said. “Then I got a text from his mom, asking if I had heard from him and I started to worry.”

Woods was in California, where he had family and had lived off and on.

Trying to figure out what was going on, Reynolds started calling around and got a hold of his aunt.

“It was such a fun girls weekend and it just felt, just being in my wedding dress made me feel so beautiful and we were walking around this park in Seattle and this man took his hat off and bowed as we walked by,” Reynolds recalled. “It was happy and it felt good and that was a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time.”

Good friend Stephanie Jarstad, a Federal Way photographer, took the photos while other friends helped with make-up and hair.

“I was honored and humbled to photograph such a sweet tribute,” Jarstad said. “With only a few short weeks before Lauren’s wedding day, you could imagine the excited anticipation any bride feels. Losing her sweet fiancé couldn’t have been

further from her mind. My heart completely broke for Lauren, at a time when they should have been starting their lives together she was saying her goodbyes. This photo shoot was held for Lauren to express her love for Tristin and the goodbye they never had.”

Reynolds said she felt

close to Woods that day.

Although short, their love story was deep.

Reynolds, a Decatur High School graduate, met Woods through his father, who attends her church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Federal Way. Reynolds said she fell in

Board considers replacement technology levy FROM STAFF REPORTS

Technology skills have become an essential for nearly every job available today.

The state requires schools to teach technology curriculum and to use technology to assess students’ learning.

While the state provides some funding for technology, it’s not enough to meet the requirements of the 21st century classroom, according to Federal Way Public

Schools.

A proposal for a six-year $24.4 million replacement technology levy for the February 2016 ballot was presented at the school district’s Nov. 3 board work study session. At that session, the board heard an in-depth presentation on the use of the current technology levy funding, and plans for the next six years. On Nov. 10, a ballot measure and resolution went before the board at their regular meeting.

A local technology levy has been in place since 2005. Most recently, voters approved a replacement

technology levy in 2010 to continue supporting the technology needs of both students and staff. Specifically, it provides funding for the infrastructure—the network, both hardwired and wireless—as well as hardware such as computers and tablets.

Federal Way schools are able to keep computers up to date and introduce new technology because of the support of the district’s voters, district officials said.

The board will take action at the Nov. 24 meeting to put the measure on the February ballot.

Kent O. Arney Kent O. Arney (KO) age 70, passed away peacefully at his son's home surrounded by family on November 16, 2015 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. He was born May 10, 1945 in Tacoma, WA to Cliff and Betty Arney. His parents owned and operated Arney's Market near Mirror Lake. Kent graduated from FWHS in 1963 and attended college at Columbia Basin in Pasco, WA before joining the Navy where he served on the USS Yorktown as a Machinist Mate.

After leaving the Navy Kent became a lineman for Seattle City Light and enlisted in the Naval Reserve eventually becoming a 1st Class Diver for the Mobile Diving & Salvage Unit at Sandpoint Naval Base in Seattle. His diving unit took him to many exotic ports for salvage work. His line of work eventually took him to Alaska where he purchased a commercial fishing boat and fished for halibut & salmon during his off time from his job.

In 1967 he married Donna VanDusen and they had two sons Clint and Kurt; and a step-daughter Lori Chappell.

He is survived by six grandchildren, Ryan, Kailey, Zachary, Caitlyn, Kelso and Keaton and a sister, Sue Fosbre, nephew Kevin Hanson and niece Carrie.

Always an adventurer, he visited many foreign countries and after retiring he was fulfilling his dream of sailing the seven seas. His nickname was "Popeye." He purchased a sailboat which he named "The Tramp" and spent a season in Alaska before sailing to Mexico and his port of call, LaPaz. Sadly he was planning a sailing trip to New Zealand and Australia when his illness brought him back to the NW. His greatest love was the water and his family. We visualize him sailing away to new shores and adventures. He will be forever in our hearts and his witty humor and sense of adventure will be greatly missed by his friends and family.

Soap for Hope donation drive to benefit Federal Way charity FROM STAFF REPORTS

As the holiday season approaches, AAA Washington is teaming up with the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network to provide an opportunity for those in need to have a

fresh start to their day.

AAA Washington’s eighth annual Soap for Hope donation drive to collect unused travel- and full-size toiletry items for local shelters, food banks and other charitable organizations across Washington and northern Idaho goes through the end of the year.

“Soap for Hope has given us the opportunity to make an impactful difference in our community,” said Denise Ligman, AAA Federal Way store manag-

www.federalwaymirror.com er. “For families struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, our charity partners tell us these donations make a big difference.”

Want to be a part of supporting your local community? Scan your cabinets and gather items from your last trip, including unused and unopened hotel shampoos and soaps.

Donations of new, fulland sample-size toiletry items such as conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes are accepted

at all AAA stores in Washington and northern Idaho.

“Many of us don’t have to think much about hygiene, it’s something we take care of every morning,” Ligman said. “But if you have few resources, these toiletry items make a big difference.

They can make you feel confident, especially as you head into a job interview for example.”

Donations may be dropped off at the AAA Federal Way store, located at 2122 S. 314th St. Donations made at the AAA Federal Way store will benefit the Federal Way Community Caregiving

Man surrenders dogs after they kill neighbor’s chickens CRIME

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Suicidal man threatens hotel staff: At 10:49 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 33000 block of Pacific Highway S., a man showed signs of drug use, as his jaw was tight when he spoke, his pupils were dilated, he had no saliva and he babbled.

He was also argumentative and threatened hotel employees. After police removed him from the property, he called 911 and stated he was going to kill himself by running into traffic. Police located him on a sidewalk about to step onto the road.

Man claims girlfriend struck him: At an unknown time on Nov. 16 in the 29000 block of 18th Ave. S., a man called 911 to report a physical domestic dispute between him and his girlfriend. The male had left Federal Way before calling the police and requested phone contact. He reported to police that he and his girlfriend were in a verbal altercation and she was drunk.

He said she struck him in the face, causing swelling. He refused to come to Federal Way to meet officers to provide a written statement of the incident or allow examina-

in a friendly manner, but would not get into the vehicle. The woman said the same thing happened a week ago. The officer retrieved a dog catch pole and went to the coop and saw two chicken carcasses and 13 live ones.

The dog’s owner said they had escaped from their kennel door after he fed them and had already spoken to his neighbor, offering to pay for the two chickens. Additionally, he told the officer he didn’t want the dogs anymore and offered to surrender them to Federal Way Animal Services. After rounding up the dogs, the officer spoke to the victim who agreed to press charges. She was also informed she could only have four chickens and would need to get rid of some to be compliant with municipal code.

Woman arrested on warrant: At 9:35 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 2700 block of SW 314th St., a 26-yearold woman was arrested on a warrant after a woman reported lewd conduct at Jack in the Box. The woman initially reported a man had undressed in the restaurant’s lobby and then went into the women’s restroom. There were clothes laying all over the restroom floor and the woman thought the suspect was high. The woman came out of the restroom fully clothed to speak with officers and they recognized her from a previous incident. She was trespassed [ more POLICE page 24 ]

tion or photographs of the alleged injury. Police provided information regarding a court order.

Ex-boyfriend breaks into woman’s house: At 6:55 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 1400 block of SW 306th St., a 36-year-old woman called police to report her exboyfriend broke into her home. She said she was at home when she heard the man pounding on the front door. He then went through the garage and she heard a loud crash; he had kicked in the door.

She said he appeared to be high on cocaine and was very angry. Thinking he would do something “crazy,” such as light the house on fire, she called 911. But the man had said he wanted to talk to her — she had broken up with him two weeks prior. Refusing, the two ran around the kitchen island counter but the man left once he realized she was on the phone with 911 dispatch.

The man has served seven years in prison for gun charges and the victim said she believes he’s dangerous.

Three dogs kill two chickens: At 7 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 2600 block of S. 284th St., a 28-year-old woman reported that her neighbor’s three dogs had broken into her chicken coop and were eating her chickens. As police arrived, they noted her children were frantic.

Three German Shepherd-type dogs were pacing back and forth in front of the coop. The officer whistled at the dogs, who came running over

Bruce is very curious and playful, and even gets along with his foster mom’s big dog.

He purrs when being handled and loves to cuddle on the couch.

Clark is also very playful, although a little more shy than Bruce. Once he warms up, however, he will be your best friend for life. He loves to snuggle and play with toy mice and likes to sit on his foster mom’s lap while she’s at the computer.

Clark has a crooked little bob-tail that wags when he plays and is super excited.

You can contact Bruce and Clark’s foster mom for more information at gabriellenpatterson@gmail. com or call/text 979-2009190.

Federal Way church employee charged with child rape as the audio producer at Brooklake Church when he first met the victim. He was supposed to mentor her as she wanted to learn about production and video streaming.

The victim first told church officials about interactions with Clark that were making her uncomfortable in June. She stated that he was hugging her for extended periods of time and grabbing her hips.

Church officials confronted Clark on the accusations, but he stated that it was the victim who initiated the contact and agreed

not to hug her anymore, the documents continue.

Church staff decided that a member of the church should be in the room with the two. However, the court documents only note one occassion when that church member was present, when the girl allegedly gave Clark a neck massage.

“We are heartbroken over the allegations that have been made and our prayers are with everyone involved,” said Jo Gibbons, communications director for Brooklake Church, in a statement to the Mirror, noting church officials are unable

to make any comments at this time due to the nature of the investigation.”We can say, however, that the allegations are made against an individual who was not in a ministerial or leadership role and did not happen within our Kids Ministry, Student Ministry or in our private pre-school or elementary school. Additionally, the court has ordered the accused to remain off church premises while the investigation is open. Again, our hearts and prayers go out to all those involved.”

Patient threatens hospital chaplain: At 1:02 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the 34000 block of Ninth Ave. S., a woman reported she was threatened while on duty at St. Francis Hospital where she works as a chaplain. She stated that a patient made vague threats of bodily harm to her while in the hospital chapel

and in his hospital room. She said he told her that he was “psychotic” and that he was “a danger to her.”

She said the man also told her he would find her and hurt her by unknown means. She said hospital security staff advised her to make a police report for documentation purposes.

Aggressive panhandler: At 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 in the 4600 block of SW 320th St., a 7-Eleven employee called 911 to report a male who had been on location for the last four hours. The male was loitering in front of the store and asking customers for money. The employee requested the male be trespassed.

The male was described as African American, 24-25 years old, medium build, goatee and wearing a blue hoodie and black pants. The male left the area prior to police arrival.

Employees believe the male resides somewhere near a park at the Dash Point Apartments. The employee does not know the male’s name or address. He was advised to call 911 sooner in the future so the male could be trespassed. Officers conducted an extensive area check for

Eventually, the victim began to accept his advances.

Clark allegedly told the victim that “he could not leave his wife, but they could have this secret between them.”

Federal Way police contacted Clark on Nov. 4 and asked him to come to the station before he went to the church.

He told police that he knew the victim and knew that she wrote about him in her journal. He also stated he received notes from the victim.

He also told police that there were witnesses to a kneetouching incident where the victim touched him, but later stated that no one saw it. He declined to take a polygraph test.

Clark’s arraignment is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 23 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.
