Primary election results rolling in BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
he first wave of primary election results were released at about 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4 and have been updated each afternoon since. In the Legislative District No. 30; Representative Position 2 race, Teri Hickel, a Republican, takes the lead with 5,914 votes or 50.85 percent of total votes. Incumbent Carol Gregory, a Democrat, will move forward to the general election on Nov. 3. Her total votes were 5,704 or 49.05 percent of all votes. Because this is a partisan position, the candidates were put on the primary ballot regardless of the amount of candidates. Each candidate has to receive more than 1 percent of the primary election votes or their name won’t appear on the general election ballot, according to King County Elections. In the Federal Way City Council Position No. 1 race, Incumbent Lydia Assefa-Dawson takes the lead with 3,465 votes or 44.81 percent of all votes. Candidate Mark Greene will also move forward to the general election. His votes were 2,342 or 30.29 percent of all votes. Candidate Anthony Murrietta received 1,891 votes or 24.46 percent of all votes. Voters will vote on the following council candidates on the November ballot: Mark Koppang and Julie Hiller for Council Position No. 5, and Incumbent Dini Duclos and P.K. Thumbi for Council Position No. 7. Incumbent Susan Honda is running unopposed for Council Position No. 3. [ more PRIMARY, page 15 ]

Federal Way police arrested a 21-year-old man on Wednesday evening for his connection to the drive-by shooting that left one dead and two others injured in Federal Way on July 30. Detectives are investigating Maurice L. Oatts of Tacoma for the murder of Muldhata U. Dawud, age 20. They are currently conducting search warrants on Oatts’s vehicle and home.

“The investigation is ongoing to determine additional facts and circumstances surrounding the crime,” said Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock in a news release. “The suspect has been booked into King County Jail for investigation of murder in the first degree and assault in the first degree.” Residents living near the 32500 block of First Ave. S. called police to report sounds of gunshots at approximately 1:05 [ more SHOOTING, page 15 ]

City, Centerstage Theatre reach tentative contract agreement BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
After rolling up their sleeves — twice, as the mayor pointed out — Centerstage Theatre and city of Federal Way officials reached a tentative contract agreement on Friday. “We started on the footing: How can we come out of this in a win-win situation,” said Centerstage
Theatre’s board of directors President Bob Dockstader, the lead negotiator for the theatre. “How can we find a way that works for both of us to do that? From the getgo, it was pretty much, each quickly came to understand what the two needs were.” Pending City Council approval on Aug. 11, the city agreed to pay Centerstage a management fee of $82,000 a year from October 2015
through April 2016. Starting May 2016 and running through June 2018, that fee will increase to $100,000 a year. The management fee goes towards the upkeep of the Knutzen Family Theatre at Dumas Bay Centre, which Centerstage has operated since 2009. In turn, the city will acquire the ability to rent out the space in front of the
theatre area, the rehearsal hall and lobby area of Dumas Bay Centre to generate revenue and save money for future capital expenses, such as a new heating and air conditioning system for the center. However, Centerstage will keep rental income from current tenants until April 2016. Then in May 2016, the city will manage and retain rental income

from non-performance based renters. The deal between the regionally-acclaimed theater production company and the city took nearly three months to reach after a 90-day contract extension was granted in June. But this round of negotiations was different from the first. On May 20, city officials

building, the scorched structure and ensuing debris still remains due to legal delays. The building in the 29200 block of Pacific Highway S. housed businesses Sin on Skin Tattoo and Body Piercing, Awards by Wilson and unoccupied business All Martial Arts Supplies, before an illegal marijuana grow operation caught fire and damaged the building in October. Police confiscated 500 marijuana plants from the building’s basement during the investigation. City officials hoped to demolish the building by May. However, the property owner is pursuing legal means to halt the demolition until he can resolve some insurance issues, said Michael Morales, director of the city’s Community Development Department. “If we could move faster, we would. But we have to follow the letter of the law to do that,” Morales said. “The good news is, yes, we are following every step in
the process. The last thing we want to do is to make a technical error on the process and his due process and rights that allows him to leave that building as it is for another year because we’ve got to go back and start things over again.” Neither the property owner Pete Sikov of Columbia City Associates, LLC, nor his attorney Douglas Hiatt responded to the Mirror’s request for comment. Morales said the illegal marijuana operation that caused the fire is also causing complications with the Sikov’s insurance coverage. “At least that’s been cited to us in the hearing and that they’re still negotiating on what they may be willing to pay or not as it relates to abatement and a rebuild,” Morales said. However, the city has yet to see any of Sikov’s documentation from the insurance company, he said. “So they’re being nonresponsive and that doesn’t bode well going into (the
next) hearing,” Morales said, noting another appeal hearing for the property is set for Aug. 13, when the city’s hearing examiner will decide on whether to carry out the abatement process. Nevertheless, Morales said it doesn’t matter whether or not Sikov’s insurance will pay for a rebuild because the building’s foundation doesn’t meet city code. “So the whole place needs to go. That building’s got to go, the foundation’s got to go, it’s all got to be out of there and if you want to list the lot for sale then you can go ahead and do that,” he said. He said trash and other debris have also accumulated on the site and the city is “at a point where we may just start to stack up violations. Let’s open a new case on the trash, let’s open a new violation order on the things that weren’t there when we started this process and make him pay. That’s just the bottom line.” Morales said he is hopeful the hearing examiner will rule in the city’s favor and “we will not grant anymore than the minimum time required to have the building abated.” If the city wins the appeal, Sikov would have up to 30 days to demolish the property. “At that point, it’s up to us,” Morales noted if the property owner does not demolish the property himself. “We can go back in and get a judge’s order following that timeframe and be ready to go.” The city would then have the authority to pursue the owner to recover the cost of demolition, which costs approximately $25,000.

What would you do if you were in mayor’s shoes? I generally do not respond to Federal Way Mirror opinions but two recent editorials in the July 17 edition should have us all asking what is going on in our community. The Mirror’s lead opinionator Bob Roegner chose to write a 1,000 word matronly scold of Mayor Jim Ferrell’s reaction to a City Council candidate’s revelation that he was encouraged to run for council by the Federal Way mayor’s office. While I was not at the candidates’ event, I ask everyone in Federal Way: “What would you do” if you were in the mayor’s shoes? Would you stand up and try and correct the record or let it slide? It is obvious, based on the Mirror’s reporting and the Mirror’s lead columnist’s opinionating
2016: Let the back alley knife fight begin This year is the warm-up act for 2016, which will be a significant year in politics. While there is a presidential race to keep us reading the front page, the statewide elections in the local section will have a much bigger impact on our daily lives. All statewide offices and Patty Murray’s United States Senate seat are up for election and control of the state Legislature will be an issue. Some pundits think Gov. Jay Inslee could be in trouble. Much has been made of the recent Elway Poll where 41 percent said Inslee’s performance was “good” or “excellent.” In January of 2014, it was 45 percent. However, there has been only a 1 percent dip since January of this year and that is after a very hard and very political legislative session. Republicans also note Inslee only got a “C” in the poll. However, in the same poll legislators got a “D.” And 30 percent said they would vote for Inslee and only 25 percent said they would vote for a Republican.
Only Seattle Port Commissioner Bill Bryant has officially announced he will run against Inslee. Bryant is a moderate, and well respected, but needs to increase his name familiarity. He was here in Federal Way for an economic development meeting and was well received. The other possible Republican candidates to run against Inslee? State Sens. Andy Hill from Redmond and Steve Litzow from Mercer Island. Both are from Republican territory and have some skills that will make them serious opponents if they decide to run. Other names include Congressman Dave Reichert from Auburn and state Sen. Joe Fain also from Auburn. After redistricting, Reichert is now in a safe seat and seems unlikely to run and Fain could be a good candidate in the future. Inslee has done an outstanding job of appealing to his base of seniors, people in need on social issues, educators and environmentalists. Bob Roegner

ince being selected as Federal Way Public Schools superintendent in April, Tammy Campbell has spent hundreds of hours getting to know our community. This has included meeting with every principal, essentially every community leader and dozens of concerned parents, teachers and staff members. Campbell has also visited most of our schools and attended several community events. While this outreach has included the usual list of movers and shakers, Campbell has also made an effort to reach out to members of the community whose voices often go unheard. This includes scheduling community meetings in low-income apartment buildings, as well as meeting with church congregations and doing a ride along with the police chief. The only outreach effort she hasn’t tried is going door to door (though I wouldn’t put it past her). One could be tempted to label these efforts as simply being part of her job description. However, Campbell invested hundreds of hours into our community before she was even on the payroll. Both before and after her official first day of July 1, Campbell has spent dozens of evenings and weekends meeting with groups that aren’t available during normal business hours. As a reminder, Campbell doesn’t get overtime pay, which to me says that she is going well beyond her job description. As a further example of her commitment to our community, Campbell and her husband Kyle are in the process of moving to Federal Way and are planning on buying a home here in the near future. In addition to being committed to our community, Campbell is simply a delightful person. I have had the opportunity to meet with her on several occasions and each time I was impressed

F E D E R A L WAY
[4] August 7, 2015
[ more ROEGNER page 7 ]
● LETTERS- YOUR OPINION COUNTS that Ferrell took offense to the substance of a statement made by a council candidate and our mayor channeled his inner impression of Gov. Chris Christie. If the mayor had said nothing, the story would have been about his silence and being too meek to publicly correct an inaccurate statement. Truth is, regardless of how either the Mirror reported the incident or opined and lectured the mayor on his actions, the part of the story that got lost is a potential lack of ethics or willingness of the candidate to overstate what he perceived to be an endorsement. Personally, I’d rather have a fully engaged mayor who is willing to express himself on what he knows to be incorrect than someone who smiles at the odd predicament, walks away and
waits for local news hawks to come to his defense. Would you let it go or try and correct misinformation knowing that any news media outlet may portray your efforts negatively regardless of your actions? The mayor may or may not have been eloquent in the moment but he must have felt he was being misrepresented. The real take-away is that we should all be on notice of how we present ourselves in the shared public space. The Mirror’s go-to opinion Czar, when a little confusion is needed to spin a story, did his best to be negative about the Performing Arts and Events Center. The substance of his column paraphrases into: this is a bad investment, will not pay for itself and will cost the city millions of dollars. Let’s look at Mr. Jarvis’ logic and try to understand
his idea of governmental purpose. His sentiments, broadly expressed, are a desire for each cost center within our municipality to be self-funding. My two speeding tickets since I moved here are my contribution to the police department. It is worth understanding that the business of government is to facilitate building a community. This includes a full range of opportunities and tools to enable growth and quality of life. I guess the concern is, and the request is, for the city to quantify its return on investment? It may not be able to do so at the moment but according to the nonprofit organization Americans for the Arts and their Arts and Economic Prosperity III Report the arts generate $7 in return for every dollar invested in
the arts. Also from the same report is this quote from Ken Fergeson, chairman and CEO of NBanC, and past president of the American Bankers Association: “As chairman of the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce, I have visited businesses in almost every city and town in Oklahoma. There is a visible difference in places with a vibrant arts community. I see people looking for places to park, stores staying open late and restaurants packed with diners … the business day is extended and the cash registers are ringing.” I choose a vibrant city and thank the members of City Council who voted unanimously for the Performing Arts and Events Center.

Teri Hickel has track record of success Teri Hickel has lived in our community for more than 20 years, and that’s important, but I’d like to suggest to the voters that they find out what Teri Hickel has accomplished during her time here. The one topic I’ll focus on is the Advancing Leadership program she developed and directed for 15 years. Advancing Leadership is a nine month course that has become the key platform for community leaders to connect and impact positive growth. As the executive director of Advancing Leadership, Teri Hickel connected people, agencies, human services, nonprofits, government, business, faith communities, education, economics and innovation into an organized, systematic meeting of the minds. When people actively listen to each other, see others’ perspectives and their challenges, there is a synergy that can happen. Something new is created and growth occurs. There are now 850 graduates of Advancing Leadership who are creating growth where they live and work, through their Advancing Leadership skills. Teri Hickel is responsible for putting the people together, connecting the dots and challenging minds to find solutions wherever their passion drives them. She led this small business through the tough economic times and kept it successfully afloat. Teri champions achievement and personal responsibility. Teri is a trusted voice in our community. Meeting her, you come away with
After chess club one day, I asked them, “You guys come down to Federal Way every weekend. What would it take for you to just live here?” They both smiled and replied, “Education.” They have a good thing going with their kids. Alden was chosen via lottery to attend the Chineseimmersion Jing Mei Elementary School in Bellevue. His sister will be able to attend without the lottery. Yae explained, “Jing Mei is academically rigorous and what a wonderful opportunity for our kids to learn Chinese. I’ve seen the ratings for Federal Way schools and they don’t seem very good.” So what if there was a language immersion Don Hyun
oe and Yae Young Rigby are the mom and dad of a young family with four kids who live in Bellevue. Every Saturday, they wake up early and drive down to Federal Way for two activities. Their oldest son, Alden, participates in the Federal Way Chess Club at 9 a.m. Alden is currently one of the top two players in the state among kindergartners. Joe and Yae also sometimes help run the chess club. After the club, they take their weekly shopping trip to H-Mart. Once a month, they also attend the Korean branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Federal Way. Yae is a Korean American and Jo is halfKorean. Jo works at Amazon in the South Lake Union area of Seattle.

renewed optimism for life, and yourself! She brings out the best in people, with her “can do” attitude. Does that sound like someone well-equipped for the challenges in Olympia? Isn’t it about time we get things done? Never choose a leader whose policies create dependency. Choose the person who believes in you and fights for your opportunity to succeed. Because of her knowledge, track record of success and her vision, I’m voting for Teri Hickel for our state representative.
Maureen Bernardy, Federal Way
Hit pieces say nothing positive about Hickel Teri Hickel and her team obviously admit that she can’t run on her own positive achievements and qualities – they’ve immediately jumped to trashy hit pieces spouting nonsense about her opponent. I received one of these pieces, which says nothing positive about Hickel, opting instead to smear our current representative with doctored quotes and B-movie-quality altered photos. It’s the kind of scaremongering we’re all exhausted by. It’s shameful and ugly and it’s absolutely beneath the dignity of someone wanting to represent us. I hadn’t decided who I’ll vote for come November, but it’s hard to imagine voting for someone who so gleefully rushes to lowest-commondenominator tripe that’s more at home on a shrill cable news show than in my mailbox. Hickel needs to get her harpies in line. Barring an apology, I’m pretty sure a vote for her is a vote for
louder, dumber grandstanding in Olympia that makes getting things done even harder.

Roger Flygare best person to serve as commissioner South King County Fire and Rescue is one of our most valuable assets. No neighborhood goes a full year without a life saving emergency response from South King and some of the senior care facilities have emergencies almost each week. In order to help maintain its high degree of efficiency, we need to elect Roger Flygare as one of the commissioners. Flygare has served our area with passion and dedication for years. During the Vietnam era, he was awarded a Purple Heart. His court reporting businesses employ over 40 people that provide services throughout the state. He has worked with the Legislature to help pass legislation to stop human trafficking. He also serves as president of the Washington Generals, which is an organization formed by the Legislature to act as ambassadors of trade tourism and goodwill for the state of Washington. This is only a partial list of Mr. Flygare’s impressive qualifications that make him easily the best person to serve us as fire Commissioner.

A world I want to live in I had the unfortunate experience of witnessing the accident of Federal Way
program in Federal Way? “We would want an Asian language,” Yae said. I told them we have a Korean school on Saturdays in Federal Way. But what if that eventually became an immersion program throughout the week? “That would be interesting to us, but the test scores in Federal Way dont seem good,” they replied. I asked them if they knew about the Federal Way Public Academy, which has stellar test scores — among the best in the state. They didn’t know about the academy. For those who rate schools by test scores, the Federal Way Public Academy is the answer in Federal Way. The problem with the academy is that it’s by lottery (where only one-third of the applicants are accepted) and it only goes up to 10th grade. Police officer Grant Bassett recently. I watched as his body flew through the air in a very brutal accident. I was relieved to hear that, despite being in incredible pain, officer Bassett is going to get through this one. It was a truly brutal accident. In this time of national police scrutiny over the treatment of African-American people, I also witnessed something incredibly beautiful. The civilians who first responded to the accident – out of concern for the officer – were predominantly AfricanAmerican and Latino. It was a bit of a crazy experience, but I believe the man behind me on the phone to 911 was Latino. He was relating his observations on the condition of officer Bassett. After Bassett rolled himself onto his back, I proceeded to the other vehicle involved in the accident, which contained a mother and her three sons. The airbags had deployed, and the mother and one of her sons were still stunned from that impact. The mother had visible facial scrapes. I helped her out of the car and onto the ground. Once she was sitting on the ground, she was able to see Bassett lying on the ground. She was instantly devastated and in panic. An African-American woman was there and she noted Bassett’s computer sitting on the ground. By way of question, she suggested that I make sure that the computer didn’t disappear: “Can you get the officer’s computer?” she asked. The police still hadn’t arrived, and there were people milling about. Though I did disturb a future investigation scene, I placed his computer and keys out of sight until of-
Rating schools by test scores is controversial to some, as it is typically a direct correlation to socio-economic demographics (or income level). With that said, a lot of outcomes are directly correlated to socio-economic demographics, including graduation rates, crime, college entrance rates, etc. Some parents may argue that test scores are a proxy for income levels, which are a proxy for peer groups. Other options for families interested in a rigorous preparatory education in Federal Way include the Cambridge Program for junior high students at Sacajawea and the International Baccalaureate high school program at Thomas Jefferson High School. “If there was a great education option for you in Federal Way, what else would keep you from Federal Way,” I continued to ask. Joe chimed in, “Well, the housing prices [ more HYUN, page 7 ]
ficers arrived. I believe the AfricanAmerican woman then went to the aid of the Latino family who were also involved in the accident. About this time, the first police officers began arriving at the scene. However, there were some restless idiots in the northbound lanes of 16th Avenue South who, at that same moment, decided they wanted to cross the intersection and get on their way. I held back one car that was about to obstruct the arrival of the police, with a second car behind her. An alert African-American gentleman saw what was happening and proceeded to stop everyone else from attempting to cross the intersection until police arrived to secure the situation. (Yeah, crossing over an accident scene and potentially disturbing an investigation is not a very smart move to make!) This, to me, was all a beautiful thing. It didn’t matter that the officer lying on the ground was white, nor that the family in the car was Latino. What seemed to matter to everyone was that the scene remained safe and secure until emergency responders were on the scene to take over. Isn’t that the type of world we should strive to live in? A world where race, religion, sexual orientation is not a cause for discrimination, but a cause for celebration and understanding – that’s the world I want to live in. I think I saw something close to that during this accident. None of that mattered to anyone. The only thing that mattered was that people were injured, and the situation
needed to be contained until emergency responders were on the scene. My thoughts and prayers remain with officer Bassett, his family and the family involved in this terrible accident.

Never give up; God has his plan It’s a small world! Charlene Turnbull was doing her Monday morning routine at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Federal Way. She was using the computer and putting in the weekly prayers. In walks Lydia AssefaDawson, who was orginally from Ethiopia. Charlene knew a person from times back who stayed at the house when she was on furlough. Charlene asked Lydia Assefa-Dawson if she knew a Mary Nell Harper. Her eyes lit up and she said, “She is my mom.” Well the railroad train ran over all of us and we just marveled at how things happen in God’s plan. Charlene and I are retired teachers and both are connected to Lydia through Mary Nell. I went on a drive one year to get soccer balls for the school in Ethiopia and raised almost $300 through the kids I had in class. There was a nice note from the school stating the recess was full of games. We lost contact with Mary Nell. She retired in Everett and the connection became blank. We are hoping to regain the times we had together playing the organ and trumpet during her visit. Never give up because God has his plan and provides the train to get to the station.

Seattle Children’s South Clinic to open in Federal Way BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
When families walk into the new 32,000-square-foot Seattle Children’s South Clinic, they’ll see elements of home. “The color scheme for this building is based on Dash Point Park,” said Seattle Children’s South Sound clinic Director Katherine Flynn, noting that a designer took photos of the water, sand, weathered wood of bridges and trees and forest for inspiration. Like all Seattle Children’s facilities, the atmosphere is catered to children. “As you come through the doors you’ll see our beige brown, color of sand and starfish that helps our families line up to get checked in,” Flynn continued. “The artwork has elements of sky and birds and water and then, as you come across the waiting area, you’ll move on to what looks like the boards and the carpet that mimics weathered wood.” Images of animals, flowers and plants are also abundant. But the apparent northwest theme of the Federal Way-based South Clinic, set to open Aug. 18, is not what makes it special. The new clinic will provide 26 exam rooms and four treatment spaces with a capacity of 204, excluding the capacity of the therapy gym. This is compared to the current Seattle Children’s South Clinic on the St. Francis Hospital campus, which has six exam rooms and a capacity of 48. That clinic will close on Aug. 12. Located at 34920 Enchanted Parkway South in Federal Way, the clinic will offer an urgent care open Monday through Friday from 5-10:30 p.m., weekends and holidays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with no appointments or referrals needed, and 15 departments specializing in specific treatments and services. “Much improved access,” Flynn said when asked what this means
for families. “It’s a clinic that brings to the community the same things that we’ve been asked for in our smaller clinic to date.” Flynn said there will be more gastrointestinal services, adolescent medicine, infusions and a pediatric lab with a phlebotomist compared to the smaller clinic. “Much improved access to therapies, our occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and sports therapies,” she said. “We have a huge rehab and functional gym at our facility. This is the first time. This particular space is larger, in terms of our therapy area, than the floor space and the equipment than we have in our other regional areas.” Flynn said families throughout the years have said more Children’s services are needed in South King County. “As one of the regional managers, the regional managers meet very frequently and we would all talk about what the needs were in our area, meaning that families are saying, ‘There’s not enough G.I.’ or ‘it’s really hard to get into see adolescent medicine, can we get more service here?’ and that’s happened over and over.” Flynn said they paid attention to those requests and started to “lobby up the chain” to ask for more access to providers and space. “A lot of things begin and end here,” she said, referring to Federal Way. “It’s a huge transportation corridor here, so this is a great location to help our families who are coming from east and west on [Highway] 18 as well as the commute sometimes from West Seattle or South Seattle, it can be easier to come here than go through downtown.” Other clinics are located in Everett, Bellevue, Olympia, Mill Creek, Tri-Cities and Wenatchee, in addition to Seattle Children’s Hospital in Seattle. A huge request was moving infusions south of the Seattle Children’s

Courtesy of Seattle Children’s Hospital Hospital and Bellevue clinic, as they “didn’t have anything at all,” Flynn said. Also new? The ability to conduct an electroencephalogram, a test that detects electrical activity in the brain using small electrodes attached to a person’s scalp. “Our kids who were seen in our neurology clinics and needed an [electroencephalogram] had to go to Seattle or go to Everett or Bellevue and now they can stay south,” Flynn said, adding that ultrasounds, an on-site nutritionist and social worker are also new to the South Clinic. Oncology patients will continue to go to Seattle Children’s Hospital, but Flynn clarified, “We don’t say if you’re not more sick you go here or go there. That’s definitely not the case.” However, the acuity of the patients who walk into the clinic will be similar, she said. And, for those who do walk in, registration is easily accessible at the front of the clinic with the lab at the front and radiology nestled between two team rooms. “The team room concept allows our clinical team to spend time together talking about patients and their needs, understanding how we

uperman, the Hulk, Batman and Spiderman, err, Spiderwoman showed up to the Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce’s State of the Chamber community impact luncheon on Wednesday. The chamber CEO Rebecca Martin emphasized that business leaders are heroes who “get up every day and unlock their doors and tell the world that Federal Way is open for business.” “You have the super power… and it’s the chamber of commerce,” she told a room of about 80 at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. “Because we believe in you and we believe in truth, justice and the Federal Way.” Keeping with the superhero theme, Martin announced the chamber’s new membership event coming this Sept. 2223 as a way to expand the chamber.

can help the care team each day, how they will help support these families and then there’s room in our team rooms now to have nutrition and social work join us,” Flynn said. The clinic will also feature a play room but Flynn said it won’t be completed by the clinic’s opening. She anticipates it will be finished in a couple of months. “That’s a space where, our kids who are here frequently, their siblings can come and play while they’re in their visit or they’re in their therapy,” she said. “We put some healthy snacks and machines up front and there’s a little homework area with tables and chairs.” Although the clinic will open Aug. 18, the annual community open house that’s typically at Seattle Children’s Hospital will be hosted at Seattle Children’s South Clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 12. The free event will include several booths, fun activities for children, live music and a tour of the new clinic.

Several perks of becoming a member include a new Office Depot Discount Card, Investor Packages, a prescription drug card, which can be used for discounts on most brand and generic medications – up to 75 percent off and early bird luncheon passes, which are open to all members. Martin also announced there will be a new venue, the LeMay Car Museum in Tacoma, for the annual Chamber Gala, which will be on Nov. 14 this year. In March 2016, chamber members, and non-members, will take a trip to Ireland with a possible golf excursion in Bunratty, Ireland, which is known for its iconic Bunratty Castle. Also in the future will be the chamber’s work in addressing issues that affect business leaders. “As the voice of business, the chamber’s advocacy objective looks to supporting our regional economy,” Martin said. “… The chamber did a great deal of work with you on the Sound Transit light rail project. As we look forward in the next few months, advocacy events include the candidates forum, King County Metro’s long-range transportation plan and ST3 (Sound Transit 3).” The chamber will develop a work plan that spans 18 [ more CHAMBER page 17]

Also, he set aside the death penalty, and made sure state government responded quickly to the Oso slide and Interstate 5 Skagit River bridge collapse. That’s what governors do. Inslee has protected his home base and will put a Democratic fence around Seattle. However, one vulnerability could be turnout. Murray is up for reelection to her Senate seat and so far no one is planning to run against her. It will be very hard to defeat Murray and if the Republicans field a creditable candidate, Murray loyalists, of which there are many, will help increase turnout. That in turn helps Inslee by bringing more Democrats to the polls. If the Republicans back off from a race they are likely to lose anyway with Murray, it may help suppress Democratic turnout and in turn help the Republican nominee for governor. The bottom line is this is a blue state. If Democrats turnout, Inslee is likely to win barring any major surprise. Lt. Governor Brad Owen is not expected to run, nor is Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn. Right now, Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland appears the most interested in running to replace Owen and was in Federal Way to give a speech recently. However, about half the state Senate is also interested, so stay tuned. And at least four candidates are eyeing Dorn’s job, which is non-partisan. Democratic Representative Chris Reykdal from Tumwater has already announced his plan to run. Former state Rep. Larry Seaquist and Tacoma school official Erin Jones of Lacey are also interested. Jones has a local tie as she used to work here in Federal Way. The field could change after Dorn makes official his intentions. Other intrigue to watch is our own state Sen. Mark Miloscia. He lost to incumbent state Auditor Troy Kelley last time around and is expected to run again next year. Some in Olympia are also wondering if he could be interested in the state lands commissioner job after his questions surrounding a land deal the incumbent commissioner made with the Navy. It seems more likely he will stay with his first plan and run for the auditor position. The big race in Federal Way this year is between Democrat Carol Gregory and Republican Teri Hickel for the House seat currently held by Gregory. The winner will have a big impact on future control of the state House and on the 2016 legislative session. Whichever one wins, there still could be a rematch next year. If not, other candidates will be recruited and it will be another expensive race. Some names of local office holders are already being floated. Everything in Olympia will be wrapped in the politics of who is made to look good and who is made to look bad. Promotions and job vacancies are created in this kind of environment. The pursuit of retaining, or gaining power, is never pretty and rarely polite. The 2016 legislative session will look less like the dignified debate of competing political ideals and more like a back alley knife fight.

I heard Federal Way has a high crime rate.” I didn’t know if this was true, so I looked up statistics on city-data.com. Between 2000-2010, Bellevue had 7 murders per 100,000 people. Federal Way had 44 per 100,000 people. I also asked them if their commute would be an issue. “Honestly, it’ll probably be a wash. It’s about 45 minutes from Bellevue to Amazon’s South Lake Union offices,” Joe answered. Yae added, “But I think I-90 is a little less congested than I-5 usually.” What keeps the couple coming to Federal Way when there’s an H-Mart in Bellevue and plenty of chess
options on the Eastside? “The H-Mart in Federal Way is much better. It’s like a little Korea town vibe in there with all the little shops. Federal Way’s H-Mart is not as good as the H-Mart in Lynnwood, but Bellevue doesn’t have the variety of shops. Also, chess is expensive on the Eastside. In Federal Way, it’s free. On Saturdays, we come for the free chess club, then go to H-Mart, do our shopping and eat.”

Q&A with Mr. FW: Con committee and office babies : Mr. Federal Way, did you find it odd that South King County Fire and Rescue sent a request for con committee members in their announcement to the Mirror? Must have already filled the pro committee seats. But then, I am sure you were at the candidate forum when Roger Flygare announced he had been asked to be on the pro committee? A: Mr. Federal Way did find it somewhat strange that South King Fire and Rescue was only looking for the con committee. But perhaps there was another reason for that besides it already being filled? Perhaps from their perspective they believed it would have been harder to find a con committee than the pro committee. That is unlikely, however, as it is probably easier to find en-

emies than it is friends for them currently. Their last attempt at a bond measure might attest to that fact. It just seems as though it’s another one of those recent issues that Mr. Federal Way has touched on that have caused many to be skeptical of the district. They also may have possibly already asked around and not found any takers. If they were willing to jump the gun looking for the committee publicly, Mr. Federal Way thinks it is very possible they may have done so privately as well. Mr. Federal Way cannot attest to whether or not Mr. Flygare is on the pro committee or not, but it would not surprise Mr. Federal Way considering
with not only her passion, but also her desire to ensure everyone (including yours truly) has a voice in making our schools a better place to learn. This passion, however, should not be confused with some kind of naive bliss. Campbell is quick to acknowledge the many challenges facing our district, including high poverty levels and below average test scores. While these challenges alone will be enough to keep her busy for years, she is already be-
how friendly he and the fire district seem to be. When asked about nepotism, he mentioned that he did not believe there was any because the chief told him it wasn’t a problem. Taking things at face value like that is exactly what the fire district wants. Maybe it’s a good thing that Flygare seems to have good enough ties to the fire district that they would like him to be on the pro committee if he truly believes the bond is best for them. Mr. Federal Way supposes that’s for the people to decide in the primary and possibly the November elections. So far, they seem to trust him
ing faced with a budget crisis, courtesy of the state Legislature. In their recent budget, the state finally included a raise for teachers. Unfortunately, the state’s budget allocation only covers raises for about two-thirds of our teachers. Though it might be tempting to suggest that only the best two-thirds of teachers be given raises, the district doesn’t have a method for identifying best or worst teachers, nor would the union allow them to even consider such a move. Therefore, the district is
decently. Right now it looks as though everyone involved still needs work on dotting those i’s and crossing those t’s. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I saw that the state Department of Health has a new policy that allows infants at work. What do you think about babies being in the workplace? A: Mr. Federal Way believes that this is very admirable of the state Department of Health to allow babies in the workplace. With all the whining that bosses can do at their employees these days, what’s the real difference? Infants need their parents to be around for more than just feeding them. They need to bond with their parents and feel loved. It only helps the child. It’s also very helpful to mothers who breast-
stuck paying for the remaining one-third of teachers from their own budget. This unfunded raise represents $4.8 million annually and is certainly more than the district can “squeeze” out of their budget. It will instead require either deep program cuts or some kind of increase in tax revenues. Both are ugly choices and present Campbell with a difficult challenge that probably wasn’t on her plan for her second full month on the job. This will prove an early test
feed. If you can fit more of that quality time into your day and still get your work done, why not have babies in the office? Obviously no one is taking the baby to their job at a fast food joint to sit next to the deep fryer (or at least Mr. Federal Way hopes not), so usually there can be a safe space for the child in an office setting. The children are also only allowed from six weeks old to six months, so unless they’re a quick learner, like Mr. Federal Way was long ago, they’re not going to be running around the office getting into trouble. There’s not real harm that an infant could cause in the office. Even a dirty diaper can’t smell much worse than whatever mystery dish coworkers are warming up in the
of her ability to make difficult decisions while maintaining the support of the community. To their credit, instead of making an executive decision, Campbell and the school board have already been reaching out to community members to solicit feedback. They are also working diligently to communicate with every possible community group as well as ensuring that school principals are also able to share the how, what and why with families. Whatever their ultimate decision, Campbell and the school

microwave that day. Mr. Federal Way also believes it gives parents more of a choice on when they return from maternity leave. It allows them to the opportunity to ease back into work and not just leave their kid for hours on end, which is probably good for no one. So Mr. Federal Way does support babies in the workplace as long as it is a safe environment and the parents pay attention to them enough. They just will never be Mr. Federal Way’s babies. Mr. Federal Way is too old for that. Q: Mr. Federal Way, just how much salmon did you eat at the Salmon Bake?

More teen boys getting vaccinated against cancer causing disease FROM STAFF REPORTS
Significantly more teen boys in Washington are getting vaccinated against HPV, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Centers for Disease released data for teen immunizations this week in the 2014 National Immunization Survey. Washington immunization rates for teens rose for every vaccine and dose, except for the third dose of HPV for teen girls. The HPV vaccines protect against human papilloma virus strains that cause 75 percent of cervical cancers; the vaccine is the best tool for HPV-related cancers. The data also showed significant increases in HPV vaccine coverage for teen boys. The Department of Health
[CENTERSTAGE from page 1] told Centerstage they made the decision to let their current contract expire on June 30, and, when it did, Centerstage would need to vacate the city-owned Knutzen Family Theatre. However, Centerstage supporters, even some from around the world, made it clear that could not happen. “We heard from literally hundreds of residents and non-residents about how important Centerstage was to them,” Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell said of
is launching a statewide campaign in August aimed at improving HPV vaccine rates. The campaign encourages parents of teens to get the facts about HPV and talk to their child’s health care provider about the vaccine. The campaign will reach parents through digital and radio advertising, as well as through partnerships with community organizations. HPV immunization rates are just one of the rates that are on the rise in our state. More teens in Washington are getting important immunizations. Yet, rates also show they’re not completely protected. In 2014, immunization rates for Washington teens that protect against whooping cough and meningitis were higher than the national average, while rates for measles, hepatitis B and chicken pox protection were lower. “Despite the rise in immunization coverage, overall protection is not where it should be,” said Scott Lindquist, state communicable disease
the 800 emails that were sent to the city in May. “I’m not sure we recognized, initially, how important this contract was to Centerstage’s ongoing ability to move forward as an entity.” Dockstader, Centerstage’s artistic director Alan Bryce, the city’s director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department John Hutton and Dumas Bay Centre’s manager Rob Ettinger had met twice in the spring to negotiate the terms of the agreement. Centerstage was getting $75,000 a year from the city to maintain the theatre,

epidemiologist for the Department of Health. “As a parent, you can protect your kids from cancer and serious diseases like measles or meningitis by getting your teens vaccinated. Getting everyone up to date on recommended vaccines, including HPV vaccines, keeps families healthy.” Chicken pox vaccination rates increased since 2013, though Washington rates remain lower than the national average. Washington teens saw an increase in Tdap vaccinations from 2013, with current coverage rates at about 89 percent. Schools in Washington have immunization requirements for kids to attend class. Parents should use the next several weeks to make sure their kids have all the shots they need to return to school. Kids who aren’t fully vaccinated may be sent home if there is an illness outbreak at the school. Parents should also schedule a yearly well-child checkup to get kids any immunizations that are due.
in addition to a tourism enhancement grant a couple of times a year, about $3,000, as well as a third source of funds from production. But, according to Bryce, throughout the six years of maintaining and operating the space, the city never took into account inflation. So, they asked for $8,900 more a year. Hutton countered with a request that Centerstage take on more maintenance responsibilities. Not knowing what that would entail, as they already had many responsibilities, Dockstader asked for a comprehensive list and that they would meet again in two weeks. After some miscommunication about whether Centerstage would or would not take on extra maintenance responsibilities, a request of an additional $15,000 a year from Centerstage is what made Hutton kill the deal after consulting the mayor, Chief of Staff Brian Wilson and Finance Director Ade Ariwoola. Instead, the city would
The school year may seem far away, but visits with healthcare providers are getting booked up now. Unvaccinated teens can easily spread diseases to younger kids who are more vulnerable to illness. Recent outbreaks of whooping cough and measles in Washington show the importance of getting more kids fully vaccinated for the best protection against diseases that can be prevented and could cause illness or death. Washington provides all recommended vaccines at no cost for kids through age 18, and they’re available from healthcare professionals across the state. Although healthcare providers may charge an officevisit fee and an administration fee for the vaccine, a family that can’t afford to pay can ask that the administration fee be waived.

manage the Knutzen Family Theatre and bring in more money. It was Bryce and Dockstader’s understanding they were still negotiating when the city made that decision. They had even drafted a new proposal that asked for $10,000 more a year with the caveat they would pay $3,000 to the city each year to help repay any maintenance costs they incur. They thought it was over until the emails flooded City Council and staff inboxes. “In a sense, it was a blessing in disguise because I think neither side had really thought it through,” Bryce said. “The impasse required both sides to think about it in much more detail.” Bryce likens the situation to a time when Coca Cola decided to try a new recipe. “What happened as a result, the new Coke bombed,” he said. “Nobody bought it and sales of the last Coke [increased] and they decided to hell with that and stayed with the same recipe.”

Bryce said people asked the CEO of Coca Cola if this was his plan all along. “He said, ‘I’m neither so smart nor so stupid,’” Bryce said. “It was to both sides advantageous.” Ferrell said it’s important to listen when the people government represents reach out. Having initially underestimated the commitment Centerstage would bring to making this agreement work, Ferrell said “once we heard their full-throated assurances that this was important to them, then it was just about working out the logistics of what we need to get out of it.” “In the end, I know we got there in an initial clumsy way, this really is a win-win-win,” Ferrell said. “A win for the city, a win for Centerstage and a win for the public.” Ferrell said he followed wise words spoken by his position coach Chris Tormey when he played for the University of Washington Huskies: “The definition of commitment is removing the option to
quit.” “I think that once we realized how important it was to get a good facility operation from us and how important this was to Centerstage, there was a mutual commitment,” he said. “We removed the option to quit.” Dockstader said, alternatively, he believes city officials came to appreciate how valuable Centerstage is to the city through its economic benefits as its shows attract audiences from beyond Federal Way. “We are pleased that Centerstage and the city were able to reach agreement on a new contract,” Dockstader said in a news release. “The negotiations were conducted in a courteous and cooperative manner, and we believe that the new agreement will provide great benefits to both the city and Centerstage.” The agreement will be presented to the City Council for ratification at 7 p.m. on Aug. 11 at the regular council meeting at City Hall.

Sallee takes home bronze BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
M
ason Sallee made it clear that he was one of the best triple jumpers in the state when he won the 4A state championship in May. Last week, the Federal Way resident proved he was one of the best in the nation. Sallee took home the bronze medal in the triple at the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics 17-18 year old men’s division. The event was held from July 27-Aug. 2 at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. He began qualification for the event at the Pacific Northwest Track and Field Association Championships at Chief Sealth High School in June. The top eight competitors qualified for regionals. He won the event.
Next up for Sallee was the Region 13 Track and Field Championships at Jesuit High School in Beaverton, Oregon. He finished second at the event, making him one of five competitors to qualify for the Junior Olympics from the region. The men’s triple jump event took place on July 31. Out of the 50 jumpers who qualified, 45 participated. The participants were grouped into four different flights. “I was in the fourth flight so I was one of the last people jumping,” Sallee said. “I was mentally preparing myself while the first jumpers went. My nerves kicked in when it was my turn. I didn’t jump as well as I could have on that one.” His first jump was 44-2 1/2, well below what he
expected. “I loosened up on my second jump,” he said. “It ended up getting me the bronze. I feel like my last jump was my best, but I just barely scratched.” His second jump went 47-7, the same distance that won him the state championship. Datavian Bush of Texas and LeSheon Strozier of Georgia finished ahead of him with distances of 49-2 1/2 and 49-1. Sallee did finish ahead of fellow Washingtonians Keshun McGee and Elijah Williams who placed fourth and fifth. “I was hoping to PR (personal record),” Sallee said. ” I jumped 47-9 at the association meet. I know what my potential is and I know that I can jump farther.” Initially, Sallee was disappointed with his perfor-

I learned not to always expect to PR and that I just have to work harder to get what I want.”
The indoor track season in the winter is the next big event he is focusing on. In the meantime, he will continue to train with the Flying AJ’s track club. His plans for next year are to defend his state title and return to the Junior Olympics to win the national championship.

and water sales that Lakehaven charges. They planned in advance for those fees to cover plant the plant upgrades. Upgrades will increase the capacity and efficiency of the wastewater treatment facility and allow Lakehaven to stay within future regulations. Phase one has already begun. Sludge pumps, digesters and the washer/compactor at the plant are currently undergoing improvements. The cost for these improvements is $7.5 million. The rest of phase one is scheduled to take place over the next five years. Phase two, also known as their mid-term projects, will take place between 2020-2030. Phase three, known as their long-term projects, will take place after 2030. “While they’re not out of compliance now, in a few years, if we keep putting more things into the sewers, we’re gonna outgrow it,” Nowicki said. “We’re looking to do this thing
way ahead of time. We’re trying to stay five to 10 years ahead all the time.” Some improvements may not be necessary depending on what the new regulations for the plant will be. If they are not necessary, Lakehaven could save nearly $3 million during phase two of the improvement plan. The majority of the costs from the improvements will come during phase three. Those upgrades will have a total cost of just under $40 million. Lakehaven will be conducting a rate study throughout the fall to determine future fees. Their current increase in sales will keep rates low for citizens, even with the improvements being made. “Those fees are set to cover everything,” Nowicki said. “We’re some of the lowest in the state, which makes us some of the lowest in the nation. We’re keeping the rates down.”

Look before you lock to prevent tragedy BY MULTICARE HEALTH SYSTEM
It only takes 10 minutes for a car to reach deadly temperatures for a child or pet trapped inside. With Western Washington in the middle of a heat wave, it’s especially important right now to be vigilant. A parked car can reach 125 degrees in just a few minutes, even with the windows partially open. Even on a cooler, 60-degree day, the temperature inside your car can hit 110 degrees. Children are especially vulnerable to heatstroke, as their body temperatures rise three to five times faster than an adult’s, according to child advocacy group KidsandCars.org. A child dies when his or her body temperature reaches 107 degrees. Leaving or forgetting a child in the backseat of a car on a hot day might be hard to fathom for many parents, but it happens more often than you might think. KidsandCars.org reports 32 children died in 2014 because they were left unattended in a hot vehicle. On average, 38 children die per year in cars from heat-related deaths. Eight children have died in hot cars so far this year. One of those victims was an 18-month-old girl in Panama City, Fla, left inside a car outside an elementary school for nearly eight hours. Her mother forgot she was in the car when
she went inside that morning to teach. The majority of vehicular heatstroke deaths are caused by a parent unknowingly leaving their child in the car, according to KidsandCars.org. A change in routine, lack of sleep, stress or distractions are contributing factors. Rear-facing car seats look the same whether or not there’s a baby inside, and children often fall asleep on car rides, eliminating visual and auditory reminders that a child is in the car with you. KidsandCars.org and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offer safety tips to help parents prevent tragedy: Look before you lock: Get in the habit of always opening the back door of your vehicle every time you reach your destination to check to make sure no child, or pet, is left behind. Create a reminder to check the back seat: Keep a large stuffed animal in the child’s car seat. Right before the child is placed in the seat, move the stuffed animal to the front passenger seat as a visual reminder that your child is in the back seat. Put something you’ll need such as your cellphone, purse, employee ID or brief case in the back seat to ensure you open the back door of your vehicle to retrieve your belongings. Know the signs of heatstroke: Red,
hot and moist or dry skin; no sweating; strong, rapid pulse or slow, weak pulse; nausea; confusion or strange behavior Make arrangements with your daycare provider or babysitter to call you within 10 minutes if your child does not arrive as expected. Never leave children alone in or around cars, not even for a minute. Instead, use drive-thru services when available and pay for gas at the pump. Keep vehicles locked at all times, even in the garage or driveway, and keep car keys and remote openers out of reach of children. When a child is missing, call 911 and check the inside of vehicles and car trunks immediately. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, get involved. Call 911. If the child seems hot or sick, get them out of the vehicle as quickly as possible. Spray the child with cool water. If the child is responsive, stay with them until help arrives and have someone else search for the parent. To prevent injuries and deaths of children left alone in hot cars, KidsandCars.org and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration named July 31 National Heat Stroke Prevention Day. The goal of this day is to raise awareness and encourage conversation about the dangers of leaving children in hot cars.
Nominate a company that gives back to the community FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Office of Secretary of State is accepting nominations for a 2015 Corporations for Communities Award, and the deadline to nominate a company is Aug. 31. Nomination forms can be found at www. sos.wa.gov/corps/corpsforcommunities/ on the Secretary of State’s website. Secretary of State Kim Wyman said the Corporations for Communities program is a great way to salute deserving businesses that help their communities. Wyman will choose at least one large and one small corporation from among the nominations. (Companies with more than 100 employees are considered a large corporation, while those with 100 or fewer employees are considered a small corporation.) Her selections will receive a National Association of Secretaries of State Medallion, the highest
civics honor that the state awards. Winners for this year’s award will be announced in early October, and the awards ceremony will take place in late October in Wyman’s office. Anyone is able to nominate businesses for the Corporations for Communities Award. Any sized for-profit corporation, limited liability company, or limited partnership is eligible for the award. Nominees need to be registered with the Office of Secretary of State and must be in compliance with state and federal laws. The Corporations for Communities program began in 2009 as a way to recognize exceptional Washington businesses that demonstrate a commitment to giving in order to improve local or regional social and environmental conditions. The award program is run by the Corporations and Charities Division, which is part of the Office of Secretary of State.

...obituaries In loving memory of Patrick Arthur Thiel Patrick Arthur Thiel passed away on Friday July 24th. Patrick was born on February 10, 1936 to Floyd and Irene Thiel in Spokane, Washington. He grew up in Ritzville, and was a proud member of the Bronco football and basketball teams. An all-around sports lover, he also enjoyed swimming and golfing. Pat’s family owned a wheat farm and he spent many hours on the tractor, working alongside his father. After high school, Pat attended Gonzaga University, where he majored in Electrical Engineering and graduated in 1958. After college he met the love of his life, Janet Louise. The two were united in marriage on February 9, 1963, and went on to share 52 years together. Patrick was a kind and devoted father to their three daughters, Ellen, Colleen and Patricia. He was also the loving grandfather of Joel, Eric, Nicholas and Katherine. Always intelligent and steadfast, Patrick was a principal engineer at Boeing from 1958 to 1998, all the while managing the family wheat farm and keeping a beautiful yard. He also graduated from Seattle University in 1978 with his MBA. Pat was a faithful member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. He supported countless charity organizations and was a steadfast volunteer for the weekly Federal Way Community Supper. He was also a big fan of the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks, rarely missing a game.
A funeral mass was held at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church on Wednesday, August 5th.

Driver threatens victim with machete CRIME
This week’s…
ALERT
Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Man awakes to burglar in home: At 7:05 a.m. on Aug. 2 in the 27000 block of 23rd Avenue S., police responded to a residence for a reported burglary. The homeowner said he awoke to a strange noise upstairs. He got out of bed to check on the noise and observed a male standing in the hall. He described the suspect as a Hispanic male in his early 20s, 5-feet 10-inches tall with thin, black bushy hair, a thin mustache and wearing a blue striped shirt. The homeowner confronted the male, who replied he thought the house was his friend’s. The victim followed the suspected outside and the male walked away southbound. The back door was unsecure and undamaged. Nothing was missing from the residence and police were unable to locate the suspect. Police question woman sleeping on couch display: At 1:17 p.m. on Aug. 2 at 1701 S. 320th St., a Sears representative told police that someone was laying on a display couch in the store’s lawn and garden section. It appeared that person was suffering from a medical condition and had two small dogs with her. Police said the woman was unresponsive to verbal commands and it appeared she was suffering
from a medical condition or emergency. She was transported to St. Francis Hospital and her two dogs were taken to the Federal Way Police Department kennels. A woman later came back to the home and garden section and told police she was there to pick up her mother, who had completed a full day of traveling and was tired. They had arrived at the mall to take care of some personal business and visit with other family members and her mother did not feel like walking around the mall so she waited in the home and garden section. The daughter retrieved the dogs from the police department and said she would head to the hospital to pick up her mother. Tequila shoplifter arrested: At 1:47 p.m. on Aug. 2 at 32095 Pacific Highway S., police arrested a man for shoplifting $259 worth of Patrón Añejo tequila. He faces third-degree theft charges. Dogs attack female: At 5:49 p.m. on Aug. 2 in the 2200 block of S. 333rd St., a woman called police and said her daughter was attacked by some dogs. When police arrived, an officer saw the daughter had marks on her face consistent with scratch marks from a dog. The mother said she was walking with her daughter when her daughter ran over to pet the dogs. The dogs “attacked” her daughter, knocking her to the ground. The mother ran over and the dogs retreated. Police photographed her injuries and contacted the dogs owner, who said she was cutting their hair and thought her dogs were still tied up in the back.
Woman arrested after clawing boyfriend: At 1:31 a.m. on Aug. 1 in the 35000 block of 13th Place SW, officers responded to a domestic assault between a girlfriend and boyfriend. The girlfriend said they were at the movies and her boyfriend spilled a drink on himself and became upset. He took a cab home but instead went to some bars. When they both finally got home, they began to argue about the boyfriend’s drinking. The boyfriend grabbed a bottled water and sprayed her; she grabbed onto his shirt and ripped it. Police noticed the boyfriend’s shirt was hanging off his body and he told police that when he tried to walk away during the fight, his girlfriend grabbed his shirt and scratched his neck. He told police that he grabbed the water bottle and “I told her to cool off as I sprayed her.” Police arrested the woman for fourth-degree assault and booked her into SCORE jail. Would-be bank robber punches cop: At 2:29 p.m. on Aug. 1 in the 1400 block of S. 320th St., police contacted a man who had called Wells Fargo a day prior and threatened to rob the bank if employees did not give him his money. The bank had trespassed the man from the property following the threat. He was not allowed to access his account because he did not have a valid ID. The next day the man informed the bank he was on the way there in a taxi. An officer went inside the bank and tried to detain the man, who swung and punched the police officer on the side of his head. The officer’s
knees buckled but he was able to regain his balance. He deployed his Taser and ordered the suspect to lay on his stomach and keep his arms stretched out at his side. The Taser was effective and the suspect complied, however he continued to yell that he wanted his money and he was going to rob the bank. The officer called for back-up and they arrested the suspect. During his arrest, he told police, “I just want my money. I’m going to come back and rob this place. Someone’s going to die, it might be me, but I don’t care.” The suspect was booked into SCORE jail and the injured officer was treated at St. Francis Hospital and released. Man upset over neighbor’s trash: At 12:30 p.m. on July 31 in the 2400 block of SW 306th Place, a man advised police that his neighbor’s trash accumulates on their porch and deck. Crows then pick through the trash and deposit food items as well as trash on the victim’s roof. The complainant has filed a code enforcement complaint with the city, however, he stated that a code enforcement officer has yet to meet with him to investigate his complaint. He was upset with the level of service he has received. The officer submitted an online code enforcement request. Son upset mother looked through belongings: At 3:47 p.m. on Aug. 1 in the 1400 block of SW 312th St., police responded to a home for a domestic dispute between a mother and her 16-yearold son. The son was upset his mother had looked through his belongings. The son also alleged
his mother did not provide him with “appealing food.”The son did not allege any crime occurred. The mother admitted to looking through her son’s property and confiscating a knife she located. The mother allowed police to check the pantry, which was stocked with plenty of food. Driver threatens victim with machete: At 2:25 a.m. on July 31 in the 34000 block of 16th Ave. S., the victim reported that a driver of a Scion was taking photos of license plates in the Walmart parking lot. The victim confronted the driver of the Scion, who brandished a machete or machete sheath and then sped out of the parking lot. The victim also reported that the Scion driver had approximately five large gas cans in the vehicle. The victim thought the driver was trying to siphon gas. Man attempts to abduct female: At 6:25 p.m. on July 31 in the 34000 block of 16th Ave. S., the victim stated that a known male attempted to get her into his vehicle. The victim stated on a prior occasion, the suspect attempted to force her into his vehicle and assaulted her. Police did not locate the suspect. Suspect smears feces on car: At 10 p.m. on July 31 in the 100 block of S. 340th St., police responded to a residence for a malicious mischief report. Upon police arrival, an officer contacted the victim, who advised police that someone smeared feces on her vehicle. She said this is the third time that someone smeared feces on her vehicle. The officer checked the vehicle and saw feces smeared on the driver’s door handle, door area and rear driver’s door window. Police were unable to identify any suspects or witnesses.
Victim finds burglars in home: At 4:30 a.m. on July 30 in the 31000 block of 18th Ave. S., police were dispatched to a home for a residential burglary. The victim told police he heard a commotion in his living room and came out to see an unknown male had entered his house armed with a machete. The male was holding the machete to the back of his friend’s neck. An unknown female was walking out of his bedroom holding two of his guitars. The couple left the house with the guitars. Police arrest homeless man living in woods: At 6:37 a.m. on July 30 at the Federal Way Library. Police contacted the suspect in the woods to the east of the library. The suspect was with three males and stated they lived in the woods. Dispatch advised police a records check showed an unconfirmed $5,000 warrant out of Fife Police Department for his arrest. Police arrested the suspect and Fife Corrections took custody of him. Police investigate vehicle arson: At 4:19 a.m. on July 30 in the 34000 block of 14th Place SW, South King Fire and Rescue investigators determined a vehicle fire was arson and requested police to respond. The victim stated she didn’t know who set her car on fire. The vehicle was parked on the street near the curb of the victim’s residence. Police observed extensive damage to the inside of the vehicle that appeared to originate from the driver’s seat. Pit bull charges at woman: At noon on July 29 in the 2000 block of S. 317th St., a pit bull charged at a woman walking her dog.

Police found over 1,000 videos and photos of minors involved in various sex acts BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
A Federal Way man was sentenced on Monday in U.S. District Court to 19 years, 10 months in prison and lifetime supervised release for receipt and possession of child pornography. Andrew Mark Salazar, 66, pleaded guilty to the crimes in April, admitting that he directed women to perform sex acts on children while he watched the rapes via webcam. The victims were all from impoverished families in the Philippines whose family members were paid to produce the videos and images, according to court documents. Federal Way police arrested Salazar on May 28, 2014 when employees of a Sprint store called police after finding multiple photos of small girls involved in sex acts while transferring his phone data to a new phone. During a search of his residence, located on Southwest 336th Street near Brigadoon Elementary, police found a suitcase
containing explicit photos of children who appeared to be between the ages of 1 to 12 years old. Police also found approximately 80 videos and more than 990 digital photos depicting minors, according to court documents. Salazar directed several of the videos through the Yahoo chat service as he watched on a webcam. He arranged payment through Western Union and PayPal through the chats as well. He threatened to stop payment if they did not follow his directions. A chat also revealed that he intended to fly to the Philippines to sexually assault the victims at some point. “This defendant thought he could hide behind a computer screen while he reached across the world and horrifically damaged young children,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. “Stopping this kind of child exploitation is a top priority whether the victims are here at home or halfway around the world. I commend those who reported the crime to law enforcement, and the agents and officers of the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Way Police Department who fully investigated and put an end to this criminal conduct.” Salazar has a prior conviction for the rape of a 13-year-old girl in Texas in 1975.

Momma Lynch, Wilson the Pony featured at benefit car wash The wash crew kept a continuous line of trucks, vans and cars coming out from behind Jersey’s Sports Bar, spic and span at the benefit car wash for Kaylin Burns on Sunday. Momma Lynch had a smile for everyone and Wilson the Pony posed for snapshots during the event, which raised money for Kaylin, who was born with two hemangioma tumors. Wilson the Pony also “signed” the donated 12th Rocking Horse for the raffle. Photos courtesy of Bruce Honda
