8 arrested during undercover prostitution sting at hotel BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way police arrested seven prostitutes and one man suspected of promoting prostitution at a hotel during a multijurisdictional undercover operation on June 17. The Federal Way Police Department’s Special In-

vestigations Unit assisted the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force and the Seattle Police Department with an operation targeting child prostitution and sex trafficking to recover juveniles being prostituted in the area. However, they did not locate any juveniles. Police arrested seven women, who all admitted to placing ads offering sex in exchange for money on backpage.com. They also denied working for any pimps. Six of

the prostitutes were later released and not charged with any crime, while one of the women was booked into jail on an unrelated charge. The prostitutes were from various cities around the region, including Burien, Bellevue, Seattle and one was from Las Vegas, Nevada. Police also arrested a 29-year-old Tacoma man, who faces charges of promoting prostitution in the second-degree.

The suspect went to the Comfort Inn Hotel with his homeless girlfriend of four months, who arranged to meet a client at the hotel. The woman met the supposed “John” — actually an undercover police officer — in a hotel room, where she agreed to have various types of sex with him for an hour, at a rate of $275. The officer notified her she was under arrest. The woman later told police she was addicted to

heroin and she had been staying in hotels with her boyfriend. She admitted that her boyfriend drove her to her dates and that he knew she was prostituting herself. The suspect went to her hotel room after he became worried that she didn’t come out of the room in an hour. He was arrested and told police that the money his girlfriend makes from prostituting herself pays for their food, their heroin

habit and the hotels they stay in. Police also found texts on the girlfriend’s phone between her and the suspect discussing prostitution, such as money, offer and agreements and making sure his girlfriend didn’t give the Johns extra time, according to the police report. The woman had a $2,600 city of Puyallup warrant for drug paraphernalia, so she was transported to SCORE jail.

and mobile home parks are encouraged to attend the city’s recycling ambassador training from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 30 at Federal Way City Hall, 33325 Eighth Ave. S. to become their complex’s on-site recycling expert. This recycling ambassador training was developed by the city of Federal Way and Waste Management following a “train the trainer” model. This program teaches multi-family recycling ambassadors the dos and don’ts of recycling, how recycling works, tips for sharing information with neighbors and also provides resources to keep their recycling program tidy. After completing the training, the recycling ambassadors are given recycling flyers, tote bags and other supplies to share with their neighbors. Waste Management will provide $20 gift cards to the first 20 who complete the ambassador training, then $50 gift cards for those who put the training into action by helping their neighbors become better recyclers. Last year, 20 residents and management staff from 13 different Federal Way multi-family complexes attended the training and helped increase recycling at their properties. These ambassadors were recognized at a City Council meeting for their outstanding efforts.

Residents and staff of Federal Way apartments can get paid to spread the word about recycling as ambassadors.

ecently, on my way home from yoga class, I began to ponder the proper etiquette for hurling when driving. Do I pull over and vomit at Celebration Park, or do I “suck-it-up” and toss my cookies in the car hoping I will be spared the humiliation of public puking? Always my father’s daughter, also known as a valiant warrior, I opted to drive on. I threw up three times, bam-bam-bam, projectile vomit. The debris was everywhere including dribbling down my chin, in my purse, soaking the carpet and my clothes. Always the optimist, I decided to continue my journey and mop up at home when, “What to my wondering eyes should appear?” but a child crossing against the light just as I sped up to catch the green-means-go signal. It was lucky for him, he was wearing a helmet. When I was growing up, we didn’t have helmets, but we knew better than to cross a busy intersection on a red light. The sign says: “DON’T WALK” in blinking red. Perhaps that’s what confused him. So, I stopped on a green light with drool on my chin. The boy stopped, in the middle of the street, just short of my left front killer bumper and waved me on. Really? He’s going to ride his bike against a red light, stop in the intersection and wave a crazy lady with vomit on her face to cross in front of him? He was so vulnerable, so innocent, so precious and so in need of guidance. I wanted to protect him, pull over and talk to him about safety. I wanted to know where his parents were and why he didn’t know better than to dart out in front of a car? But, what could I do with the contents of my stomach in my lap? I waved him to the curb safely with a smile and a prayer. I just love a good barf story, don’t you? So, summer is here. Children are out of school and the weather is perfect for bicycling. Wrapped up in the fresh air and sunshine, with the freedom to imagine, they expect adults to watch out for them. I’m wondering if the citizens of Federal Way can commit to driving slower, especially in the neighborhoods? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could Judith Magruder

Public service or insiders club? Over the past few years there has been a significant amount of discussion, some of it critical, about South King Fire and Rescue. Residents and the media have raised questions of nepotism, fiscal accountability and the seeming lack of independence of the elected board of commissioners from the staff they are responsible for supervising. One Commissioner, Mark Freitas, challenged the situation and was isolated by the board in another situation when the chief filed a complaint against him. The investigation didn’t show any misbehavior on anyone’s part but did underscore the level of apparent coziness between some of the board and the administration. Freitas decided not to seek re-election. His position will be on the ballot this year. South King Fire is a special purpose district that serves as the fire department, and provides emergency medical services for Federal Way and Des Moines. They have their own elected board of five commissioners, and a chief to manage the department. Like all government agencies, they receive

their funding from taxpayers. I haven’t written much about them lately so I was surprised when I was approached by two commissioners and the fire chief recently. The chief approached me in my capacity in another organization. He was concerned about the failure of the fire district’s request of the public for more financial support. The request needed 60 percent passage and only received 57 percent. It was a very positive meeting as he seemed eager to look for ways to engage the public in discussions about the department’s needs. At the Flag Day ceremony, a South King Fire commissioner approached me who didn’t like something I had written regarding nepotism. Quite some time ago, the chief ’s son, who is employed in the department, had a disciplinary issue come up. As a general rule, I think it is bad public policy for relatives to be employed by the same taxpayer supported agency. No matter how well intended or careful everyone involved in the Bob Roegner

Advice to parents from a baseball umpire I am a baseball umpire with over 15 years of experience. I’ve worked everything from Little League to high school to college to semi-pro ball. I’ve seen thousands of baseball players. I’d like to provide a little advice to the parents of

ball players from the very youngest to those going on to college. This advice is meant to help you know how much of your time and treasure to spend on pursuing your dream of having your child “play at the next level.” First and foremost, you must understand whether baseball is something your child really enjoys or if the parents are the ones driving the activity. A lot of kids get burned out trying to pursue the dreams of a parent. There’s also an undeniable reality when it comes to baseball (and all other sports): The vast majority of Little Leaguers never play on their high school varsity team. The vast majority of high school ball players

never play beyond high school. The vast majority of college players never play professionally. Baseball should be a fun activity for the ball player and the parents need to keep their perspective. Almost certainly, junior isn’t going pro. Even playing college ball is very rare. Given the above, be careful how much money you spend on traveling teams and select ball. It can cost thousands of dollars over a summer. Some parents pay over $10,000 when the fees, travel, uniforms and other costs are added up. Big bucks for sure! I’m not against these teams at all. I umpire their games all summer long. Kids have fun, stay fit, learn the important

life lessons of sports and improve their skills. They make friends and they’re busy so they avoid some of the trouble that comes with too much time on their teenage hands. The problem comes when mom and dad spend money they really don’t have chasing a futile dream of getting junior a college scholarship or noticed by pro scouts. If you are spending your child’s college fund, or getting into debt financing this, you are making a poor decision. It is a very poor bet thinking the money you spend on high-cost summer ball is going to come back to you with college scholarships or big bucks professional contracts. On the other hand, if you have the

money and you enjoy it, it is a wonderful way to spend a summer. Just remember, it is easy to get “carried away” and be stuck with the financial wreckage. Don’t worry that your child’s baseball skills won’t be noticed. If your child is clearly a far better athlete than anyone else on the team, the scouts will find them. I promise. If your high schooler hits .450, leads the league in RBI, strikes out an average of 10 hitters per game, has five times as many strike outs as walks, or has an ERA of 1.00, the college and pro scouts will find them. These kinds of players are clear standouts at every level. They are one in 100 or one in 500 or one in 1,000. This kind of athlete gets noticed. Why? Think about it: There are scouts scouring the U.S. [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

make it through the entire summer with no bicycle-related accidents? Who would we be as we accomplished that? Perhaps we would be the safest city in the state to raise children. City Councilman Martin Moore (the go-to guy for childrens’ protection), is currently working on a bicycle safety program with South King Fire and Rescue for Federal Way children to begin in the summer of 2016. But, for now, it’s up to parents to explain what the red hand means on a red light. Namaste.

situation is, it will always create an appearance of favoritism and therefore suspicion from other employees. Being the chief ’s son makes the issue even more visible. Without regard to the question of the appropriateness of time and place, the commissioner is entitled to his opinion. As you might expect, the commissioner had a different view than mine and said nepotism was everywhere and made reference to Nordstrom’s. I pointed out that Nordstrom’s was a private sector company, but the fire district is supported by taxpayers and shouldn’t be considered a family business. Right or wrong, the public will think favoritism exists. The commissioner went on to say that no one who hadn’t actually worked in a fire department was qualified to comment on one. I think he may have been including Mirror political writers in that opinion, but I could be wrong. He went on to say that it was always harder on the relative, not easier. Since the commissioner’s voice was getting louder, I excused myself from further discussion. But his thinking is exactly what concerns me, as it seems to reflect the board majority thinking. Even if it is harder, and it may be, that is just another reason not to have relatives work together. It shouldn’t be easier or harder on an employee related to another employee. It should be the same for all employees, and must also “appear” to be the same for all employees to any independent third party. That is simply impossible when relatives work in the same place, particularly in visible taxpayer supported departments. Also, under the commissioner’s theory, no one could serve on the fire district’s board unless they had worked in a fire department. Baloney. While some learning would be necessary, as with any new job, any citizen who is willing to study and ask questions could serve on the board. It is a policy board not a technical board. Again, the commissioner’s thinking seems to embody a “big brother knows best” syndrome that may lie at the heart of the public’s continued questions. At the city’s 25th anniversary celebration, another commissioner approached me who said someone contacted him and he was concerned about some questions I had included about the fire district in a recent column. The commissioner’s interpretation seemed to be they weren’t appropriate questions. I suggested he actually read the column himself and I would be happy to meet him for coffee if he still had concerns. The questions were provided in my June 12 column for citizens to ask when they meet candidates for all of the offices up for election this year. The questions pertaining to South King Fire and Rescue were: “At South King Fire and Rescue, there are two major questions that commissioner candidates need to answer that are intertwined. Why should the public support additional funding? And when will there be some serious oversight of the department that gives the public the confidence that they need to provide that support?” Both are very valid questions for voters to ask commissioner candidates. The commission works for the taxpaying public, not the fire district. They supervise the fire district. A system of checks and balances is inherent in that responsibility. But since the chief is reaching out to the community trying to learn answers, maybe the commissioners should be as well. And since there are three candidates running to replace Freitas and all other incumbent commissioners and the chief have endorsed the same one, asking the candidates to articulate how they will ensure a system of checks and balances seems to be a pretty good idea. The endorsements suggest the newest member of the insiders club has already been decided. My intent in this column is not to reopen old wounds, but to remind voters that they have a chance to engage the commissioners and the candidates in an open dialog on policies, operations and costs of their fire department. But I also want to give a nod to Chief Allen Church for his interest in finding answers. I hope he is successful. But he may want to look a little closer to home for some of the answers.

Q&A with Mr. Federal Way: Handling panhandlers and fireworks : Mr. Federal Way, there are a lot of panhandlers out these days. If panhandling cannot be controlled/banned because it is a right to free speech, can people who contribute to panhandlers at busy intersections be fined or ticketed for obstructing traffic? If people are discouraged from giving them money and their revenue stream suffers, the panhandlers will go away, right? A: Mr. Federal Way would first like to say thank you for looking at the panhandling issue from a different angle than is usually presented when talking about panhandlers. Earlier this year, Mr. Federal Way was asked if the city was just going to get rid of them and that just seems somewhat mean. There always seems to be an increase in people outside when the weather gets nice, so it should be no surprise that panhan-

dlers show up more as well. While Mr. Federal Way is not a fan of some of the safety issues they can cause, it shouldn’t be held against them for trying to find some way to get money. Still, when in a vehicle, Mr. Federal Way believes that drivers should be courteous to everyone else on the road first and foremost. Stopping in the middle of the road is rarely the best course of action in any situation, but it’s the one that Mr. Federal Way often sees people do when giving to panhandlers. If you cause an accident because you wanted to give out your $5 on a freeway off-ramp, there’s a good chance Mr. Federal Way would not be on your side. It’s one thing if you were already stopped when the

light changes, but if you’re one of the people who slams on their brakes, you can bet you’d be paying whatever it takes to get Mr. Federal Way’s car fixed (or better yet, why not a new car? Mr. Federal Way could use one). Mr. Federal Way doesn’t believe people who give should be fined for giving to the needy, but they should be much smarter about it. Instead of trying to drive the homeless elsewhere by just not giving to them, people just need to be encouraged to give to services that help the homeless more. They’ll likely get more from those organizations than the little bit of change you or Mr. Federal Way might have on them. We shouldn’t try to just drive panhandlers away

without helping, but we shouldn’t be creating dangerous situations by trying to help them. Be smart in these situations people. It’s not that hard. Q: Mr. Federal Way, the Fourth of July is over a week away and my neighbors are already setting off fireworks all night long. I’m sick and tired of people using this annual holiday as a license to make noise, keep those of us who work during the day up at night and agitating my dogs. What are police doing to curb this issue and what can I do as a watchful citizen to help out? A: Some would say that Mr. Federal Way has a license to make noise with all the feathers that have been ruffled by yours truly as of late. But enough about Mr. Federal Way. First off, citizens are encouraged to attend the city’s upcoming Red, White and Blues festival. There

you will find all of the entertainment you need over the holiday weekend. Some of the festivities include music (Mr. Federal Way is looking forward to that Spike and the Impalers group all the young kids are listening to), plenty of food vendors, face painting and inflatables for the kids and, of course, fireworks. Mr. Federal Way won’t pretend to know what Zorba is, but they’ll have that too. It should be a good time for everyone. But as for fireworks being launched by citizens of Federal Way, Mr. Federal Way agrees, keep them on the Fourth of July and out of the city. Your wallet will probably agree as well if you receive a fine for launching them in city limits. The first offense is $100, the second is $200 and the third is $300. It’s not worth it. Besides just being a noisy racket, which in turn causes the pets in Federal

high school and the money you spent isn’t going to come back to you. Think of it like a family vacation. Money well be spent having fun together. It is NOT an investment.

Have fun. Play ball!

the flag of the Confederacy flying in front of the state Capitol of South Carolina. As citizens of Washington state, we have no voice in South Carolina. We can, however, make our voices heard in Federal Way and King County. I call on the city and King County to stop flying the state flags of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi within Parade of Flags outside of the King County Aquatic Center on Southwest Campus Drive. This is the 21st century and we live in a diverse community. Remove the flags of treason and suppression fostered by the mis-guided nods to the histories of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. As Americans, we must own our past mistakes, regret them and

ask for forgiveness — not make excuses. The flags of the confederacy belong in museums, not flying in public as an affront to our ethics and morality.

It is not a new consideration, nor a new project for the loan. Much has happened since that vote two years ago, including the Blue Ribbon Panel’s determination that the center is an extremely viable project. The panel’s findings were a pivotal turning point in the long process of support for this complex facility. Many new ideas for uses for the center have been developed, and it is now recognized as the economic development stimulus for the surrounding area, which the city now owns. For the loan application,

and other countries looking for these players. They find them in big cities, small towns, Latin America, Asia and all over the world. If your child is that good, they will be found. Remember that these select teams are a business. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. They want your child to participate because they want your money. No problem with that either. They want your child to commit to year-round baseball workouts. If you can afford it, and your kid enjoys it, then go for it. Just don’t kid yourself: unless everyone who has seen your ball player recognizes them as clearly the best of the best, your child isn’t likely to get past

Way to become a noisy racket, it’s dangerous to launch them. Considering the extremely dry weather we’ve had, Mr. Federal Way thinks your neighbors would be happy if you didn’t set their backyard on fire. Feel free to buy fireworks and use them where they are legal, but be mindful of everyone else who doesn’t want to hear them at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday. Most importantly, do not wake Mr. Federal Way with your fireworks. No one will like Mr. Federal Way when Mr. Federal Way gets angry.

Email mrfederalway@federalwaymirror.com it was suggested that more than one project that related to economic development be included, but the Performing Arts and Events Center was the prime focus. Research shows similar projects have been awarded funds in other cities. The block grant funds are one of several potential sources for the arts center. Additionally, in June 2014, when the council voted unanimously to move forward and authorize the arts center, the $3-plus million from the block grant Section 108 loan was clearly counted in the $19 million that the city planned on getting for the project. Those funds have been consistently included in the potential monies raised, and mentioned in numerous presentations to the council and the public. To claim this is a new direction by council is to ignore the facts.

Federal Way Little League all-star teams finding success BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

he Steel Lake Little League 10/11 all-stars are headed to the District 10 championship after beating Federal Way National 3-1 on Wednesday. Steel Lake’s Chase Cretti may have been the star of the game with his stellar play at shortstop. He was 2-3 on the night, but it was his defensive efforts that wowed the crowd in attendance. In the bottom of the first, he set the tone with a diving catch on a line drive that looked like it would find the gap. Later in the game, he twice turned 6-3 double plays on grounders that looked as though they might find center field. Cody Gaerttner pitched all six innings of the game for Steel Lake, giving up one walk and seven hits. Gaerttner was also responsible for two RBIs when he hit a double in the fourth inning to bring home Drew DeLaCruz and Trevi Vo to break open the 0-0 tie. Tyler Harries brought home Elijah Morales for Federal Way National’s lone run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Luke Dalrymple tried to start a rally in the sixth as he singled to open the inning, but Steel Lake

retired the next three batters to end the game. Federal Way National will play again at 6 p.m. Friday at the Federal Way National Complex against either Auburn or Kent. Steel Lake will play in the championship on Saturday at 3 p.m. against the winner of Federal Way National versus Auburn/ Kent. The Federal Way National/Steel Lake Majors all-star softball team won the District 10 championship at advanced to the state tournament. They defeated Auburn on Wednesday. With the score 11-5 in the fourth inning in Federal Way National’s favor, Anna Swanson stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded. Her teammates yelled for her to hit a grand slam; she obliged. Swanson hit a walkoff inside-the-park grand slam to bring the 10-run rule into effect and give Federal Way National/Steel Lake the 15-5 win. The girls will play the District 2 champions in the first round of the state tournament on July 5. The tournament will run through July 12. The Federal Way National 9/10 all-star baseball team is also going to the state tournament after winning

Federal Way brush fire chars backyards, narrowly misses homes BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com

ire investigators are trying to determine the cause of a brush fire that started along a small dirt road and quickly spread along a wooden fence, narrowly missing several Federal Way homes on Monday. One South King Fire and Rescue engine responded when someone called 911 at 3:37 p.m., noting there was an explosion, followed by a fire behind the BPA trail that was moving quickly in the 34000 block of 12th Ave. SW, said Lt. Jeff Bellinghausen, South King Fire spokesman. He said the fire occurred along a small dirt road off the BPA trail near Sherwood Forest Elementary.

However, once firefighters saw the fast-moving flames, they initiated a full response and called for additional help from Tacoma Engine 3 and beyond. Bellinghausen said the fire scorched a 150-by-75feet area of brush, from the dirt road to a wooden fence, where piles of tree trimmings and brush fueled the flames. “As the flames came through the grass and the brush along the BPA trail, it hit those piles that lit the brush on fire,” he said. He noted some homeowners sprayed their backyards with garden hoses, attempting to keep the fire at bay until firefighters doused the flames. Fire marshals were on site Tuesday afternoon still trying to determine the official cause of the fire.

There were no injuries. “These types of fires burn so quickly,” said Bellinghausen. “It went from a little spark to really getting into peoples’ backyards very quickly.” King County and other area jurisdictions enacted burn bans on Monday due to the unusually dry weather. Bellinghausen said South King Fire and Rescue responded to 26 brush or vegetation fires last week and 11 the week before that. “We expect these instances to increase as the weather gets hotter,” he said, noting people should take precautions, including to make sure to extinguish cigarettes properly and obey the law and don’t use fireworks.

Man jumps off I-5 overpass onto semi-truck The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Bike dispute: At 11:10 a.m. on June 21 in the 2000 block of S. 281st St., police responded to a residence for a report of a domestic disturbance. The owner of a bike stated that a roommate put a lock on his bike because the roommate didn’t think it was safe for him to ride the bike. The bike owner has a significant leg injury and has trouble walking. He was upset and wanted police to cut the lock off his bike, which police advised him they would not do. No crime occurred. Man strips in store parking lot: At 4:20 p.m. on June 21 at 1207 S. 320th St., police contacted a man after Safeway staff reported he was taking off his clothes in the store parking lot. He appeared to be heavily impaired due to an unknown substance, so police determined he was unable to care for himself. He was involuntarily committed. Suspects rob pizza delivery driver at gunpoint: At 10:17 p.m. on June 21 in the 35000 block of 25th Ave. SW, two suspects robbed a pizza delivery driver at gunpoint. The suspects stole his cell phone, pizza and miscellaneous receipts. The driver was uninjured. Suspicious vacuum salesmen: At 2:50 p.m. on June 20 in the 1100 block of SW 311th Court, a woman reported that two unknown males contacted her at her home. The males stated they were associated with Kirby Vacuum Services and offered to clean a small section of her carpet for free. She let them into her home and showed them around and to an area she believed needed cleaning. She stated the males informed her they would be back in 30 minutes with equipment to clean the carpet. However, the males did not return, which made her suspicious so she called police. She said the males did not leave any contact information, nor was she able to get a vehicle license plate. She described one of the males as white and the other is either Hispanic or Asian. Both are under 6 feet tall and medium build. Suspect shoots at house while family sleeps: At 5:49 a.m. on June 20 in the 34000 block of 14th Place SW, an unknown suspect shot at a home while a family of

four was inside. One of the family members found a bullet hole in her bedroom wall and told police she believed someone was trying to shoot her husband. The husband said he associates with approximately 15 people who are involved in criminal activity, ranging from mail theft, fraud, burglary, vehicle theft and selling narcotics. He could not ID anyone in the group particularly, but said they do most of their crime up and down I-5 from Tacoma to Seattle. He recently told the members he was done and trying to get out of “the life.” He said several days ago he destroyed some documents they wanted and know they are angry. He said he believed the shooting was a warning. Police located two bullet holes in the bedroom wall and recovered 10 bullet casings from the street from a .22 caliber gun. Thief steals from security company working for U.S. Open: At 4:14 p.m. on June 20 at 32124 25th Ave. S., the owneroperator of Security Detection, a security company, was in Federal Way working for the U.S. Open. His work truck was parked in the Best Western parking lot with an expensive computer X-ray detection machine inside. He left the truck parked in front of the hotel for several days while he was working. He found that someone damaged the driver’s side door and stole his computer. The cab of his truck was also ransacked. The suspected pried open the toolbox attached to the truck and stole a variety of tools, worth approximately $1,000. There was no suspect information. Escaped convict lies to police: At 2:04 a.m. on June 20 in the 32000 block of Fourth Ave. SW, a man was sitting in a vehicle in front of a known drug house. The man provided police a false name but police discovered there was a felony warrant for a man with a similar name. The man admitted that he lied about his name and he was indeed the suspect with a felony warrant. Dispatch confirmed that he had a Department of Corrections escape warrant. The suspect also admitted that he was at the house with two others to buy heroin. He was booked into SCORE jail. Dog digs up gun: At 9:33 a.m. on June 20 at 2111 SW 352nd St., while a man was walking his dog at the West Pointe

Apartment’s dog park, his dog dug up a semi-automatic .45 caliber gun buried at the southwest corner of the enclosed dog park. The man reported to office staff that he found the gun and maintenance staff retrieved the gun from the resident. Office staff notified police of the gun. Fireworks perpetrator turns himself in: At 3:48 p.m. on June 20 in the 1900 block of SW 352nd St., a witness reported someone was lighting fireworks, which started a small fire within a fenced retention pond. He identified himself as the person who lit the fireworks. Police find escaped convict on motorized shopping cart: At 8:45 p.m. on June 20 at 31800 Pete von Reichbauer Way, police stopped a suspect riding a motorized shopping cart off the 314th Street Walmart property. Police discovered the suspect had several outstanding warrants, including a Department of Corrections escape warrant. He was booked into SCORE jail and trespassed from Walmart. Serial shoplifter trespassed from mall: At 9:06 p.m. on June 20 at 1928 S. Commons, a man stole Beats headphones worth approximately $200 from Kohl’s. He was also arrested on June 16 for shoplifting at Macy’s and trespassed for previous thefts at Target. During his most recent arrest, police issued the suspect a permanent trespass notice for The Commons mall. He was also found in possession of drug paraphernalia associated with smoking heroin. Police catch thief stealing tires: At 3:30 a.m. on June 20 in the 29805 block of Pacific Highway S., police responded to a reported burglary in progress at Western Auto Recovery. A woman called 911 after she heard a car alarm sounding on the property, looked outside her home and saw two unidentified males climbing through the chain link fence surrounding the property. Upon arrival, officers discovered that a hole was cut in the fence and observed a male, later identified as a 28-year-old Des Moines man, rolling a tire and rim through the yard. The man noticed police and fled the area on foot. With the aid of a police canine, police found him hiding in a nearby wooded area. His accomplice was never located. An investigation revealed that the suspects gained entry by cutting through three

separate sections of the chain link fence surrounding the property and were in the process of removing the aftermarket wheels and rims from several vehicles that were parked inside when police interrupted them. The fair market value of these tires and rims was estimated to be several hundred dollars. The suspects also forced entry into the company’s GMC Sierra by breaking a side window and stole a mounted laptop computer worth $1,000. Police also discovered they forced entry into a Ford Explorer and damaged the indash GPS navigation system in an apparent effort to steal it. Post Miranda, the Des Moines man refused to identify his co-defendant. However, he admitted he was in the process of stealing the tires and rims, explaining that he planned to conceal them in some nearby bushes until he could sell them on the secondary market. He said he needed the money because he was unemployed and homeless. He was arrested and is facing charges of second-degree theft, malicious mischief and trespassing. Police nab mail thief: At 3:14 p.m. on June 19 in the 28900 block of 19th Ave. S., a witness observed the suspect opening other neighbors’ mailboxes and stealing their mail. Police contacted the suspect, located his backpack containing the stolen mail and arrested him. Godmother’s good deed leads to godson’s arrest: At 5:42 p.m. on June 19 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., a godmother called police on her godson’s behalf to report someone harassed him. Police were unable to reach the godmother by phone, so an officer spoke with the godson, who said at around 3 p.m. on June 19, a random person wanted to fight him. When he refused, the suspect broke out his window. Upon further investigation, the godson admitted the suspect was a former friend. He never called 911 to report the incident. The former friend left a note on his car overnight stating “stay off the highway.” The godson refused to cooperate with the investigation and only wanted the incident documented. He also lied to police about his name and police discovered the godson has a felony larceny warrant out of Las Vegas. Kool-Aid conflict leads to son’s arrest: At 5:16 p.m. on June 19 in the 100 block of S. 330th St., a mom told police she

had been letting her son stay at her house. Her son became upset and started throwing Kool-Aid in the kitchen, causing quite a mess. Police found the son had a confirmed Department of Corrections escape warrant and booked him into SCORE jail without incident. Homeless suspects steal from resident: At an unknown time on June 19 in the 2200 block of SW 334th Place, two homeless people contacted the victim and asked him if they could clean up his apartment as they are currently homeless. The man agreed and let them inside his home. He went into his bedroom and closed the door. When he went back into the living room area of his apartment, the suspects were gone. The victim noticed several items were missing from his apartment. He provided police with the serial number of his laptop, which police entered as stolen into the Washington Crime Information Center database. Juveniles rob, assault man: At 9:32 p.m. on June 18 in the 32000 block of Pacific Highway S., a police officer was dispatched to a possible fight or robbery in the area. The officer observed a man holding a bicycle in the parking lot at Chase Bank. He explained he was at the corner waiting to cross when he was surrounded by numerous black males who told him to give them his belongings. He refused and they began to advance on him. He was wearing a backpack that was holding an Old Spice gift box he had just purchased at Target for his father. As they fought him, he dropped the items and began backing out into the street to get away from them. He fought back and they began to take swings at him. He eventually fell and several of them kicked at him and stole his backpack before fleeing the area. Police saw a small contusion above his eye and a laceration behind his ear and the man said he would go to the hospital on his own. Police obtained video surveillance of the robbery from Target Loss Prevention, which shows two juvenile black males walking behind the victim when he exited the store. Two days later on June 20, a police officer was in his car patrolling the city’s 25th anniversary carnival, when a man walked up and asked for help. The man identified himself as the victim of the robbery on [ more BLOTTER, page 26 ]

Artist fills a niche market with colored pencil drawings Ann Kullberg helps promote color pencil as a growing area in art world BY ANH HUYNH UW News Lab

uch like how the wand chooses the wizard in “Harry Potter,” veteran artist Ann Kullberg feels that color pencil chose her. “We were supposed to be together,” Kullberg said. With a charismatic laugh and a steady voice, the 59-year-old artist discovered color pencil in 1986 at a relative’s home, where she found herself intrigued by a drawing that used a material unlike any medium she had drawn with before. After reading Bet Borgeson’s “The Colored Pencil,” Kullberg bought her first set of 24 colored pencils and created her first drawing with the medium. “Once I picked [a colored pencil] up, I was just in heaven,” Kullberg said. “I loved it instantly.” She ended up winning first place for that drawing in a local county fair, gained

gallery representation within a year, and soon began receiving portrait commissions. But her career didn’t take off until she was asked by North Light Books, an art publishing company, to write a book published in 1999 called “Colored Pencil Portraits: Step by Step.” The book — the only of its kind on colored pencil portraits — was sold all around the world, catapulting Kullberg to a prominent place in the colored pencil realm. She has since created a monthly magazine, her own website, and various other products, ranging from drawing kits and portrait tools to books and workshops. The road to her current success hasn’t always been easy. Because colored pencil drawing is such a slow and painstaking process, Kullberg said the most she could make from 100 hours worth of work in the beginning was a mere $400.

“I was pretty much broke for about eight years,” she said. “It’s hard to make a living at art. Very, very hard.” But Kullberg said it was either art or welfare. On top of caring for her autistic son, she didn’t have the means to go back to school to obtain certification for teaching in Washington, despite having been a junior high English teacher in Oregon. So colored pencil was the only viable path for Kullberg to pursue. And pursue it she did. Fast forward decades later, Kullberg is now holding workshops to share her expertise in colored pencil with others across the United States and beyond. She also runs a publishing company that publishes books by her fellow colored pencil artists. Two of these books have come out within the past five months and half a dozen more are currently in the works, according to Kullberg. “Because I’ve written three books for other publishers, I felt like I knew what made a really good instructional book,” she said. “That’s when I started taking on authors and sort of shaping them so that they could write books that were really popular.” Artist Gemma Gylling authored the second book published in February, titled “CP Cats: A Complete Guide to Wild & Domestic Cats in Colored Pencil.” Kullberg approached Gylling a few years ago and suggested that she write a book, which Gylling said served as a testament to her initiative as a businesswoman. “Not only is she a terrific artist and a terrific individual, she’s a real entrepreneur,” the California-based artist said of Kullberg. “She’s not afraid to try something new like ‘OK, why don’t you write a book? Let’s do that. I’ll be your publisher.’” One important aspect Kullberg insists on is that her authors show in their books why they do what they do. She strongly believes providing the rationale behind the use of different methods really helps teach readers what they set out to learn. That’s exactly what Kullberg did when she assisted artist and author Cynthia Knox with her book called “CP Horses: A Complete Guide to Drawing Horses in Colored Pencil.” Published last December

by Kullberg’s company, the book offers instruction on how to photograph horses and how to create beautiful works of equine art with colored pencils, along with stand-alone artworks of the four-legged animal. “For each step [of instruction], there must be text and a corresponding scan of the art in process. Ann worked with me to help me explain not only what I was doing, but how I was doing it and why I was doing it,” Knox said. “She encouraged me to use many steps and be somewhat chatty about the pencils, pencil strokes, and reasons for each step.” Even without many competitors, Kullberg said she’s motivated to promote colored pencil purely because of her love of the medium and her drive to champion other colored pencil artists like Knox and Gylling.

“I love what people do with [colored pencil]. I find it very exciting,” she said, talking animatedly about her most recent workshop cruise in Alaska, where one of the participants showed her handmade metal jewelry adorned with colored pencil. Drawing with colored pencils allows users the most control, according to Kullberg. Further, the medium calls for a clean, efficient, and environmentally-friendly working space as it requires no set-up or take-down that other mediums like watercolor or oil would. Not to mention that colored pencils are more affordable than their counterparts, which Kullberg said is how she was able to get started in the first place. Despite these positive qualities, Kullberg said col[ more ARTIST, page 17 ]

helping kids straighten their teeth and have a better smile,” Loflin said. For all of those 56 years Loflin practiced in Browns Point. His wife Diane of 38 years, was his office manager and an integral part of the staff. “She was the boss,” Loflin chuckled. Following retirement, Loflin and his wife moved to Village Green. Sadly, Diane passed away last January. Living in a single bedroom unit in Village Green’s Fairfield building, Loflin said he’s made many friends. He stays active as the vice president of the Resident’s Council, a board

composed of Village Green residents who organize activities and events for their peers. Though his dentist days are past, Loflin said he continues to help people smile. “I like to make people laugh,” Loflin said. And it’s hard to not smile and laugh, maybe just a little, when Loflin exclaims, “Hot Dog!” whenever he agrees with something someone said. Lisa Valdes, the general manager at Village Green, said Loflin is a character and a funny guy. Staying positive is center to Loflin’s core. “I think you should be very happy every day,” Loflin said. “Always think positive. Try to enjoy every day.”

City offers ‘cooling center’ for heat wave FROM STAFF REPORTS

The city of Federal Way is offering citizens a place to find relief in advance of a forecasted heat wave. The Federal Way Community Center, located at 876 S. 333rd St., will be available as a respite from possible high temperatures and will remain available as necessary until the forecasted high temperature situation has eased. The National Weather

Service issued an excessive heat advisory with high humidity and temperatures in the 90s over the next several days. During the forecasted period of possible extreme hot weather, the community center will be open to citizens of all ages who need some air-conditioned relief. Weekday hours of operation are 5:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. Weekend hours of operation are Saturdays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Citizens are reminded that special services will not be available (such as free use of the swimming pools, workout equipment, showers, etc).

concern for those who are vulnerable to extreme temperature variations, such as the elderly, the very young, or those with other medical conditions that could lead to heat stroke or other problems. Because many homes in the region do not have air conditioning, there is a significantly greater risk of heat-related illnesses, especially for older adults, infants and young children, those with mental illness and chronic diseases, disabilities, people who are overweight, those who work or exercise outdoors, people experiencing homelessness and people who take certain medications, especially those taken for mental disorders, movement disorders, allergies, depression, and heart or circulatory problems. Ways to stay safe: • Watch for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Seek medical care immediately if you know someone who experiences symptoms.

Setting off fireworks in Federal Way is illegal FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way Police Department and South King Fire and Rescue wants to remind residents that fireworks are illegal within the city limits of Federal Way. The Federal Way Police Department will issue civil infractions for fireworks violations. The two agencies are collaborating and cooperating on community education and enforcement initiatives regarding illegal fireworks. The police department will have special enforcement teams patrolling the city for violators before, during and after the Fourth of July holiday. Emphasis patrols will cover Celebration Park, Steel Lake Park and other parks, as well as neighborhoods throughout the city. The police department reminds residents that: • Fireworks have been illegal in Federal Way for 22

years. • The department is committed to ongoing education and enforcement efforts. • Police will respond to citizen complaints regarding noise, safety and noncompliance with the law and regulations. • Specific neighborhoods and residents with ongoing or repeated violations will be targeted. • Civil infractions will be issued with an emphasis on enforcement and confiscation of illegal fireworks. Firework infractions carry a $100 penalty for the first violation, $200 for the second and $300 for the third violation. In all cases, police officers will confiscate fireworks. “Besides fireworks being illegal in our city, recreational fireworks can be dangerous, resulting in serious burns and eye injuries,” said Chief of Police Andy Hwang. South King Fire and Rescue Chief Allen Church said, “On behalf of the fire department, we want to wish everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July. This is a great opportunity to rejoice in our independence by attending a community celebration, such as the Red, White and Blues festival at Celebration Park, or one of the many other venues in our area. With the forecast predicting dry and hot weather, we want to remind everyone living within the cities of Federal Way and Des Moines that fireworks are banned for private use. “In the unincorporated, fireworks are only supposed to be of the safe and sane variety. In either case, we urge everyone to be safe, smart, and very careful this year as we have already seen an increase in the number of fires due to the dry conditions. Remember that together, we can celebrate our nation’s independence without anyone getting hurt or losing their property to fire. Fireworks pose a significant risk to health and safety. Federal Way residents are encouraged to call 911 to report fireworks violations, or non-emergency calls to 253-835-2121.

Federal Way Symphony offers free music instruction FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Federal Way Symphony announced a new music education program offering free music lessons to local students in need. The Masters and Mentors program pairs music educators with students who would be otherwise unable to afford individual music instruction, helping them hone their technique, refine their sound and prepare them for auditions and ensemble playing. Students “pay” for the lessons through mentoring another younger student, fostering a culture of philanthropy. As part of the program, students will have the opportunity to experience a Federal Way Symphony dress rehearsal, learning how professional orchestras prepare for a performance. They will also receive free tickets for their whole family to attend a Federal Way Symphony concert. Federal Way Symphony invites applicants for free musical instruction in guitar, piano, keyboard, flute, voice and percussion. Instructors for the initial program year have generously discounted their services in an effort to include as many families as possible, and thanks to individual donations from local supporters along with matching funds from ArtsFund Power2Give and Little Big Show partners Starbucks, STG, and KEXP, lessons are being offered at no cost to the students. Summer and fall instructors include Jean Balogh, Kitt Bender, Leon Christian, Kara Cooper, and

[ ARTIST from page 12] ored pencils are still viewed as holding less weight than other art mediums. She has been trying to help change that perception, in part by featuring the masterpieces of other colored pencil artists in her publications such as the CP Treasures book series to get more people interested in the medium. The first volume in the series, Kullberg said, included artwork from 11 countries, the number of which jumped to 16 in Volume III two years later.

“If there’re more people doing it, there’ll be more respect for it,” Kullberg said. Regardless of whether it’s colored pencils or not, she believes there’s a misconception about art overall that you have to be a good artist to engage in artistic endeavors. “To me, that just sounds crazy. You might not be the best artist, but anybody can become an artist. I wish that people would just get over that idea that you have to be an artist to do art,” she said. “Just go do art. Just go do it.”

She quickly learned that the laundry program was only offered once before, eight months prior. “I went to the second laundry event in December and I met Mary,” Edwards said. “She told me she was newly homeless.” Edwards learned that Mary lived in the woods and discovered that she couldn’t get all her clothes to the laundromat, so Edwards went with Mary to help her pick up her clothes. “There was story after story; I wanted to do more,” Edwards said. “I went to the Caregiving board and asked if we could (do the laundry program) more often, and if so, I would take it on as a regular project. (The board) unanimously agreed.” Edwards quickly dispersed invitations to the

Through invitations and word of mouth, the laundry program since January has averaged 15-20 guests. “Most of our guests live in their vehicles. Some live in the woods; some live in shelters. They’re underprivileged,” Edwards said. “The only times they get their clothes washed is at this event, which is why I wanted to push it to once a month.” Edwards said the Caregiving Network is very appreciative to be partnered with Dash Point Laundry. “We have the capacity of the huge washing machines,” Edwards said. “For every $60 I spend, they add an additional $15 for us.” Individuals and businesses have donated soaps and fabric softeners.

Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell also attended to talk with the homeless guests. Ferrell said Edwards’s work with the laundry program dovetails nicely with the city’s efforts to build a day shelter, a regional hygiene center where homeless guests could bathe, shower, check their mail and use the Internet. “I think Sharry is fantastic,” Ferrell said. “She has a real good heart for the less fortunate.” Mark Cowans, 54, has come to the laundry program twice. Two months ago, his unemployment ran out. He said he’s been proceeds from their auction amongst several entities, depending on the nominations they receive, Ackerman said. Nominations should include the recipients name, a brief introduction and what their need is.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

With anticipated temperatures reaching in excess of 90 degrees in the coming days, there will be a significant increase in customers visiting Wild Waves theme park, resulting in traffic congestion and potential gridlock on some of Federal Way’s main arterial streets and intersections, as well as Interstate 5 and Highway 18. A detailed traffic operation plan is in place, through cooperation with Federal Way police, Wild Waves Theme Park, Washington State Patrol, Federal Way Streets, Public Works, and the state Department of Transportation. Additional officers have been specifically tasked with traffic control in critical areas leading into and out of the theme park, in addition to officers inside the park throughout the weekend. A number of intersections will be monitored or modified beginning 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. on Friday, and again on Saturday and Sunday. The city urges drivers to avoid these high volume areas, and South 348th Street, during the peak hours. If you must be in the area, please review affected intersections and the city’s traffic plan accordingly. • Milton Road/Enchanted Parkway (Priority 1, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday-Sunday:) Southbound lanes of Enchanted Parkway will be separated by cones from the south end of the I-5 overpass to Milton Road and the

right southbound lane of Enchanted Parkway will be coned as a right-turn only onto southbound Milton Road, providing continuous right turn traffic for Wild Waves. • Milton Road/South 369th Street (Priority 1, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. FridaySunday) Northbound traffic will be directed onto eastbound South 369th Street. Detour signs will direct traffic onto 19th Avenue South and then to Enchanted Parkway. Exceptions will be for emergency and large truck traffic. Officers will be at Wild Waves entrance and intersection to monitor. • Southbound I-5 ramp/ Enchanted Parkway (Priority 1, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday-Sunday) Reader boards will be positioned on ramp and two locations on Enchanted Parkway advising “Wild Waves right lane only.” An officer will monitor traffic. • South 356th Street/Enchanted Parkway (Priority 2, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. FridaySunday) An officer will monitor traffic and pedestrian flow, if needed. • 19th Avenue South/Enchanted Parkway (Priority 2, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. FridaySunday) An officer will monitor traffic, if needed. Those planning a trip to Wild Waves Theme Park are encouraged to visit their website and twitter feed, where updates will be posted periodically throughout the weekend.

Wild Waves prepares for busy weekend during heat wave FROM STAFF REPORTS

Wild Waves Theme Park, an ideal summer attraction for families looking for a fun way to cool down this summer, is gearing up for a busy weekend as temperatures are predicted to be some of the hottest of the year. The local weather forecast is sunny with temperatures reaching 80-90 degrees ranging from Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28. When the sun comes out, so do Wild Waves fans — so the park is taking special measures to accommodate visitors, including sharing tips with the public to ensure visitors enjoy their experience at Wild Waves Theme Park. “Now that summer is officially here, we’re excited to welcome visitors to enjoy the exhilarating rides and

refreshing water activities at the park,” said Todd Suchan, Wild Waves Theme Park’s general manager. “When the sun comes out and the temperature rises, Wild Waves is particularly popular. We want our guests to be prepared and plan accordingly so they can have the best possible experience.” In anticipation of an increase in visitor traffic, Wild Waves Theme Park has been working with the city of Federal Way to develop and deploy a traffic control plan to manage a potential increase in traffic. The plan includes hiring additional off-duty officers to manage traffic flow and key intersections. Additionally, in order to ensure visitors inside the park are able to fully enjoy themselves, park operators may temporarily restrict entry to new visitors if necessary. Those planning a trip to Wild Waves Theme Park are encouraged to visit the website and social channels, where updates will be posted periodically throughout

the weekend. In the meantime, the park has a few helpful tips for visitors this week (in addition to remembering sunscreen). Tips and tricks to enjoy the weekend at Wild Waves: • Buy tickets online at WildWaves.com to save time and money. There are a limited number of discounted tickets available online. • Arrive early to beat the crowd. The parking lot opens at 9 a.m., one hour before the park opens. • Carpooling is encouraged. Parking is limited, so carpool if you can. • Go cashless in the park with a MoneyBand. Load a MoneyBand at the front gate ticket booths before entering the park to avoid carrying a wallet to purchase food and beverages inside the park. • Bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated. Outside food and coolers are not allowed in the park, but bottled water (no glass) is permitted. • Check online for updates. If gates close, updates will be available on WildWaves.com and social media channels. Federal Way Police will also be providing updates on Twitter: @FedWayPD. Wild Waves Theme Park is located at 36201 Enchanted Parkway S., Federal Way. For more information, visit www.WildWaves.com.

Heat wave triggers blood shortage FROM STAFF REPORTS

Bloodworks Northwest has issued an urgent appeal for donors today after collections began to dip sharply as a result of the mounting heat wave and reduced collections caused by summer vacations. “Even though summer just started, we’re already at the point where inventories of the most-needed blood types are approaching critical level — meaning we have only a two or three day supply,” said Clint Kendrick, senior director of collecReach

tions and recruitment. “With record-breaking heat forecast over the next two weeks, we face serious shortages if donors do not come in to donate.” Blood collections usually go down by about 15-20 percent during summer with schools and colleges on break and donors on vacation. “But extremely hot weather disrupts our mobile drives at locations without climate-control— because we suspend collections when temperatures go over 80 degrees to ensure the comfort and well-being of donors,” Kendrick said. “All our donor centers are air conditioned, but attendance still falls off as people stay home to avoid the heat.” The need for blood is often higher in summer from patients undergoing surgeries, ERs treating traumatic injuries, people receiving cancer treatment and surgeons performing organ transplants. It takes about 900 donors per day to maintain a sufficient blood supply for the 90 Northwest hospitals served by Bloodworks. “To avoid a crisis we’re asking donors who have not donated recently to schedule an appointment at one of its 12 centers, or to find a mobile drive in their community close to where they live or work,” Kendrick said. “First-time donors are certainly welcome. There is a special need for O-positive, O-negative and A-negative blood types.” The Federal Way center is located at 1414 S. 324th St., Suite B101. For information, call 253-945-8660. Information about other locations and times can be found at bloodworksnw.org. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Appointments can be made online at schedule. bloodworksnw.org or by calling 1-800-398-7888. “Stay cool, support your community blood supply and enjoy a cookie and cold juice afterwards,” Kendrick urged. “That will get us through this supply shortage caused by the record heat wave.”

A Bigger Picture

any of us assume that domestic violence isn’t much of a problem. We think that it doesn’t happen in our communities or that we don’t know anyone who has been impacted by an abusive relationship. But, the numbers suggest otherwise. One in three women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. And, an average of one million people in the United States is physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year. Odds are someone you know has been impacted by domestic violence. With such a daunting problem, it can be difficult to believe that we can address the issues at hand. We aren’t all police officers, judges, hospital employees, or domestic violence advocates. But, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t all able to step in to intervene or to prevent violence in our community. It starts with acknowledgment, willingness to help, and a conversation about solutions. We can talk to our friends and family members about what healthy relationships look like. We can learn about the red flags of abusive relationships. And, in Washington State, we can contact a local domestic violence program in every community, like DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women’s Network) in South King County. Contacting a DAWN advocate is free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn more about intimate partner violence. DAWN Advocates and professionally trained volunteers are available 24/7 to talk about your concerns regarding safety and resources and to offer support. These services are available to those who are interested in supporting a family member or loved one who is experiencing abuse as well. To find support and to learn more about DAWN’s services, please visit dawnonline.org or call us at 425656-4305 or toll free at 877465-7234. We also invite you to join us on October 3rd, 2015 for DAWN’s annual Evening of Promise auction event. You can participate by volunteering, making an in-kind donation, or through sponsorship. Visit dawnonline.org/ get-involved/evening-of-promise.

Six late-start half days added to 2015-16 school calendar FROM STAFF REPORTS

June 18. The man said he saw part of the group of the teen boys who had robbed him. He said he was playing carnival games when the juveniles came up behind him and

www.federalwaymirror.com Schools Board of Directors voted at the regular May 26 board meeting to approve six late-start days during the 2015-16 school year at all district schools. The late-start days are designed to support student learning by providing teachers with time

for Professional Learning Communities. Bell times for the 201516 school year for both regular school days and late-start half days will be posted on the district’s website. Bus transportation will be adjusted on those days to accommodate the

late start, and lunch will be served. The following dates are scheduled as half-day late starts. All are on the last Wednesday of the month: • Sept. 30 • Oct. 28 • Feb. 24 • March 30

• April 27 • May 25 The new late-start schedule allows for the following: • Addition of six half-day late-start days, which provide 3.5 hours for teachers to collaborate. • An increase of two student school days, up from

173 to 175. Student-led conferences continue in the fall and spring. Professional Learning Communities are school improvement models aimed at improving student learning for each individual student.

started to threaten him as they made fun about how they beat him up. The boys also slapped the man’s father as he tried to call 911. Police found the group of juveniles and asked the victims if they could

identify any of them, but they could not. Toddler wearing only diaper found at theater: At 3:59 p.m. on June 17 at 2501 Gateway Center Plaza, a witness called to report

she found an abandoned 3-yearold boy near the Gateway Theatre without his parents. An officer arrived and a woman took him into one of the theater rooms where her friend was caring for the found child. The toddler was wearing only a diaper. The woman said she and her friend were walking towards the theater when she saw the boy walking alone. He could not speak any words. A passerby advised police that she saw the boy coming from the apartment across the street. While en route to the Chelsea Court Apartments, the boy’s mother walked up to the officer’s patrol vehicle while on her cell phone and she told police she was missing her child. The officer asked her why her son was walking around by himself. She stated she was asleep on the second floor with her other child when the toddler left the house. The boy apparently opened the front door on his own. The mother said she had placed a childproof cover over the door knob, but he somehow managed to open it. A background check on the mother revealed there was a previous report on similar circumstances.

The boy had left on his own and was located near the Federal Way police sub-station. The mother said a Child Protective Services agent instructed her to purchase a door knob protector. The woman who found the child also notified the officer that she saw some red marks and a bruise on the boy’s shoulder. The mother said she did not know how her son incurred those injuries. She showed the officer her residence and the officer observed the cover over the door knob. He forward the case to Child Protective Services for review. Man jumps off I-5 overpass onto semi-truck: At 8:03 p.m. on June 17 at South 320th Street and the Interstate 5 overpass, a 21-year-old Federal Way man jumped off the 320th Street overpass, landed atop a semi-truck on I-5 and then fell off onto the freeway in an apparent attempted suicide. The man was transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. The truck driver stopped and told police he thought someone threw a rock off the overpass. It is unknown whether any other vehicles struck the man after he landed on

the pavement of the freeway. The man’s mother told police she thought maybe someone was chasing after her son and he was forced to jump. However, a witness told police she saw a man walk on the overpass, climb over the railing and jump down from the north side of the overpass towards the slower traveling lanes of traffic. Returning razor thief arrested: At 2:19 p.m. on April 6 at 2201 S. Commons, a man stole $668.97 worth of electronic razors from Target. He returned on June 17 and stole $309.97 worth of electronic razors from the same Target. Police arrested him and also found he was in possession of drug paraphernalia associated with smoking heroin and three counterfeit bills. Panty raid: Between 7-7:30 p.m. on June 16 at 1919 S. Commons, an unknown suspect or suspects stole approximately 60 pairs of Very Sexy and Cheeky panties from Victoria’s Secret valued at $750. There were no witnesses nor suspects. Corporate Loss Prevention advised police they would determine if there is any security video footage of the incident and, if so, would turn that over to police.

Missy is a 3-year-old female pit bull terrier, brindle in color, about 55 pounds (ID No. A449169). This sweet girl loves to meet new people. Missy is good on a leash and takes treats gently. She loves a good scratch, especially at the base of her tail. She knows how to sit on command and is also learning how to lie down on command. Missy’s former owner is a homeless veteran who had to give her up when he realized he could no longer care for her. Missy can jump over a 5 foot fence and so she will need to be supervised in the yard. She would do best in a home with children 15 years and older. She doesn’t like to have her paws touched, so she would need to be around children who will understand that. Missy can be noisy when she wants attention and would do best in a home rather than an apartment. Missy is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped.
