Council awards bid to construct Performing Arts and Events Center BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Federal Way City Council voted 5-1 to award the construction bid for the Performing Arts and Events Center at a council meeting Tuesday night. The bid contract was awarded to Garco Construction, a company based in Spokane with offices in Tacoma. Garco was the lowest
responsive contractor of seven others who bid for the project. Garco bid $24.15 million, including sales tax, for construction of the 41,000-square-foot facility. With a contingency of 7.4 percent or $1.78 million, the total comes to about $26 million of the $32.7 million project budget. “This is an historic night,’” said Mayor Jim Ferrell. “I am pleased with the council’s
decision to award this bid. We are in good shape financially and will continue to pursue multiple means of funding. From public-private partnerships, to our continued pursuit of New Market Tax Credits, I truly believe the [events center] will not only serve as a catalyst for economic development, but will be a place to connect our diverse community through the performances and events
that will be showcased there.” Last June, the City Council approved the budget for planning and construction of the events center after decades of public support for the project. “It’s been a long, long journey to get to this point,” said long-time supporter Joann Piquette, adding that she’s been involved [ more PAEC, page 19 ]
Disabled ‘local celebrity’ dies in Federal Way house fire BY RAECHEL DAWSON

Marie Elaine Adair did what she loved to do — wave political signs in front of WinCo Foods — the morning before she tragically died in a house fire on Oct. 1. Despite being wheelchair bound, the 73-year-old would often take an Access bus early in the morning to meet political candidates, wheeling herself with one foot to go up hills. Once there, she’d stick a sign in the side of her wheelchair and use her only working hand to wave it back and forth. And she did that for Federal Way City Council candidate Julie Hiller hours before South King Fire and Rescue firefighters found her old two-story house, located in the 28800 block of 19th Ave. S., engulfed in flames with no way to
get inside. “I was told that I was the last person she knew that had seen her,” Hiller said, adding that she had only known Adair for a few weeks. But Adair’s impression was lasting. As a new candidate, Hiller said Adair inspired her. “I was just in awe this woman would schedule the Access bus and spend time supporting people because she wanted Federal Way to be a great Federal Way,” Hiller said. “What a gift. She helped me realize why it is that I’m doing this.” Adair’s daughter Jennifer Foster said when her mother was 45, she suffered a brain aneurysm, which led to a stroke that left her hemiplegic. But her hardship didn’t stop her from caring about community issues, such as, most recently, her perceived lack of funding for the Performing

She was in accounting and [miss-expenditures] were alarming to her more so than the average person. She was very sharp, fiscally.” Foster said Adair believed there was insufficient demand for the events center, that it would be a
hardship for taxpayers and that the money would be better spent elsewhere. “[Adair] was actively involved with community issues and politics,” Foster said. “A hard-working contributor to Republican party efforts that she felt were truly sensible and conservative in nature.” Adair advocated not only for Hiller, but council candidate P.K.

Woman, 82, struck in crosswalk, seriously injured BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@fedwaymirror.com
A
n elderly woman was struck and seriously injured in a Federal Way crosswalk on Tuesday afternoon. The pedestrian’s son relayed to police on Wednesday that her injuries are serious but doctors expect her to have a full recovery. Police were dispatched to Pacific Highway South and South 312th Street at approximately 1:44 p.m., after an 89-year-old driver making a left turn from westbound South 312th Street to southbound Pacific Highway South struck the 82-year-old woman. The pedestrian was crossing east to west on the south end of the intersection in the crosswalk, according to police. The woman was transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition, said Cathy Schrock, Federal Way Police Department spokeswoman.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ FIRE from page 1] and caring person who really cared about the community. He wishes his condolences to her family and friends. Miloscia said Adair was an “institution” in speaking for plain folks. She was a prolific letter writer with a strong voice. “When I ran for Senate last year, it was good to have her working for me,” he said. “I really got to know her as a person. She would come out in all weathers and help me out in her wheelchair in the rain. Talk about a champion …” Miloscia first heard her of her activism in the 1990s but only really got to know her last year. “If you really want to get to know a person, chat with them for two hours in the rain,” Miloscia said, adding that Adair cared about real people versus big government, labor or power. “She was amazing, she was so passionate,” Ferrell recalled. “The first word that comes to mind is patriot. She was passionate, patriotic and idealistic.” Ferrell said it was fitting that she spent her last day waving signs for what she believed in — a “rough-ribbed conservative, who truly believed in limited government” and the government working within its means. Adair campaigned for Ferell in 2002, 2003, 2010 and 2013. “She told it like it was,” he said. “She spoke her mind, I always appreciated that about her. You never got a softened version. She was my friend and I’m going to miss her.” Rob Barrans, chair of the 30th Legislative District Republicans, said Adair investigated both candidates before she made a decision who to support. “She was full of life,” Barrans said, noting that she was against Proposition 1, the advisory vote seeking direction on whether or not to allow marijuana retail shops in Federal Way. Kochmar said she was in the neighborhood when she saw the smoke from Adair’s house. “I stood outside her house with neighbors, hoping she’d come around with her wheelchair but she didn’t,” Kochmar said. The initial 911 call at came in at around 3:10 p.m. “Crews pulled in and there was fire literally coming out of every window and door until we got here,” Capt. Jeff Bellinghausen said as crews were still fighting the fire. “They couldn’t go inside. The house, you can see, is covered with a lot of trees, so it was probably burning for quite awhile before anyone noticed it.” But crews couldn’t get inside because of the dangerous conditions. Once they were able to put out a few flames, gaining entry was difficult because the house had a lot of
debris inside. “We heard right away that there might be someone inside, so we made every effort we could but we just couldn’t get inside,” Bellinghausen said. “And it had burned for quite awhile before we got there.” Bellinghausen said they don’t see fatality fires very often and that they’re still investigating the cause of the fire. “We’re just sad for the family and the political community,” he said. “She was a very popular lady.” Kochmar said she’s known Adair for many years through Republican party events and happenings. And although many political candidates would offer to help her, she was adamant in her independence. “We asked one time to get someone to clean up her yard but she wouldn’t have it, she didn’t want help,” Kochmar said. “And we have many people in Federal Way who are living alone … they’re very proud, they don’t want help but they do need help.” Because Foster lives in California, she said her mother would often get help from her good friend Steve Jeffus. “She really loved her house and was determined to live out her days in her home,” Foster said, adding that she’s been there since 1965. When she wasn’t sign waving, Adair spent her time at the Federal Way Senior Center. “She was an active member of our senior center and will be greatly missed,” said Kelley Tanner, the senior center new executive director. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1942 to a Russian mother and Polish father, Adair moved around as a child before her family settled in the Pacific Northwest. She attended Washington State University and married in the early 1960s. Although she was a fulltime accountant, who also worked another job, she was very domestic and found time to cook, sew and knit. She was raised Catholic but she identified as Christian later on. “[She was] very fond of her animals; a home filled with animals has been her M.O. since I can remember,” Foster said. Adair’s daughter is the only surviving immediate family member as her brother passed away on Mother’s Day at the age of 19. “My mother, by her example, formed much of who I am today,” Foster said. “It is hard to conceive my life without her strong and loving support. I am very grateful for all she imparted to me during her time on earth. I will miss her deeply and fondly remember her for the beautiful woman she was, and I very much look forward to our reunion again on the other side of eternity.” Adair’s family is planning on burying her at the Mt. View Cemetery in Auburn.

Federal Way hammers Decatur for first win of the season BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
F
ederal Way and Decatur both entered Friday’s game winless and looking for the spark that could turn their season around. Federal Way found their spark in their 50-12 South Puget Sound League Northwest win over the Gators. The Eagles’ rough start has been compounded by a tough schedule and injuries. They lost starting quarterback and receiver D’Jimon Jones to a broken foot in their loss to Camas and the following week they lost backup quarterback Gabe Togia to a broken leg against Tahoma. “Five losses in a row, four from this year and one from last year,” Federal Way head coach John Meagher said. “That wears on you. We’ve been dealt a tough hand, but you gotta play it. The thing we talked about this week was to get better every day.” The rain began to fall at the start of the game, so both teams came out throwing the ball. After stopping Decatur’s opening drive, Federal Way took over on their own 46-yard line. Three plays later, Marcus Tate streaked towards the endzone on a perfectly-placed pass from Ben Koler for a 52-yard

TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror touchdown. “[Koler]’s a tough kid,” Meagher said. “He can play quarterback; he just hasn’t done it in a long time. He throws some great deep balls and we got some kids out there that can run by people and go get it. That’s one thing we can rely on in the passing game right now.” The Gators responded with a nice drive the second time around. They made it to the redzone, but ultimately the drive ended with a missed 30-yard field goal that went wide right. After stopping the Eagles
ensuing drive, the Gators once again drove down the field. They had a little help from Federal Way, who kept the drive alive with a penalty on third down after making a stop. Federal Way once again helped out with an encroachment penalty on fourth-and-one when Decatur lined up for a field goal just outside the 10-yard line. Decatur capitalized on the mistakes and Denny Toso scored from five yards out. They went for two, but the play was sniffed out immediately by Federal Way’s

Andrzej Hughes-Murray. He was a factor on numerous defensive plays the rest of the night. The 7-6 deficit was the closest the Gators got to the Eagles. The remaining 10:41 of the second quarter belonged to Federal Way. Jovan Vongsaveng took the following kick-off 84 yards to the Decatur 5-yard line. Decatur’s defense responded by holding the Eagles to a 35-yard field goal. Federal Way then got to Decatur quarterback Josiah Talai twice on their next drive. They forced another
punt. One play later, Koler found Bobi Sims behind the defense for a 43-yard touchdown pass, giving Federal Way a 17-6 lead. Another quick three-andout gave the Eagles the ball back. Koler found Brian Parker in the corner of the endzone for a 14-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked, giving Federal Way a 23-6 lead. With the end of the quarter nearing, Federal Way forced a third consecutive three-and-out. The first play of their following drive went 63 yards for a touchdown. Vongsaveng took the handoff up the middle and went untouched to the endzone. Federal Way led 29-6 at the half after another botched extra point. The Eagles were forced to punt on their first drive of the second half, but a muffed punt gave them the ball back at the Decatur 17-yard line. Koler fumbled two snaps on the drive, but recovered both and even picked up yards on the second. On fourth-and-goal from the two, Hughes-Murray pushed his way into the endzone, giving the Eagles a 36-6 lead. Federal Way scored another touchdown later in the third quarter. Koler found Sims again for 65 yards. Their final touchdown [ more FOOTBALL, page 5 ]

Soccer: Federal Way comes up short against Kentlake
BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
A
matchup of two-loss teams went Kentlake’s way as they defeated Federal Way 1-0 on Friday, Oct. 2. It was expected to be a tightly-contested match and it lived up to expectations. Federal Way entered the game with a 4-2-0 record overall and a 4-1-0 record in league games. Kentlake entered with a 5-2-1 record and was 4-2-1 in league play. The Eagles outshot the Falcons in the game, but Kentlake’s Karley Babcock shut down anything that was on target. The only score of the game came in the 11th minute for the Falcons. Kentlake’s Ny’Yana Pickle charged towards the right side of the Federal Way goal, but Federal Way midfielder Larissa Caldera was able to dispossess her before she could take a shot. The ball crossed over the back line, awarding the Falcons with a corner kick.

[ FOOTBALL from page 4 ] came with just over 12 seconds left in the third when Chris Williams scored his first touchdown of the season from a couple yards out, giving the Eagles the 50-6 lead. Christian Siva scored the final touchdown of the night for Decatur. Koler finished with four touchdowns on the night. Sims finished with 108 yards receiving and two touchdowns. It was a vast improvement for an offense that was held to just 89 yards a week prior in their 31-6 loss to Jefferson. Decatur has had their share of offensive struggles. Since scoring 28 points against Spanaway Lake in week one, they only managed 35 points in the following four games.
Decatur (0-5, 0-1) will face Mount Rainier (0-5, 0-2) at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. “I hope we come out and execute [on Saturday],” Decatur head coach Levi Suiaunoa said. “We gave up early touchdowns tonight on mental errors with guys just blowing the coverage. At the same time, we still can’t score
On the corner, Kentlake’s Amanda Price found her teammate Jordan Engman for the header, despite the crowd around her. The ball was placed perfectly into the back of the net. From there, it seemed as though the chances for Kentlake were few and far between. It did not matter as the team was more than content to keep the play in midfield and the quality chances down for the Eagles. A nasty scene occurred when a Kentlake player was given a yellow card after colliding with Federal Way goalkeeper Piper Hutchinson. Trainers checked her out and she was cleared to return to play. Federal Way earned their best chance of the first half in stoppage time. They were awarded a corner, but repeated attempts were blocked by defenders and the goalkeeper for Kentlake. The second half saw much of the play take place in midfield and on Kentlake’s side of the field. The Falcons had an early chance at a corner, but it was caught by Hutchinson. Shortly thereafter, Federal Way’s Sammy Cheever almost beat Kentlake’s Kasey Haren, but missed the net by inches on the left side. A problem for Federal Way in the second half was winning the ball on throw-ins and free kicks. In doing so, they missed out on possessions in opportune spaces and allowed Kentlake to keep the pressure off. Junior midfielder Brynn Ward was a bright spot for the Eagles as she controlled midfield and continued to try to create chances. She attempted a couple of long-range shots that barely missed the Kentlake goal as well. Even with a larger quantity of chances, the Eagles were unable to net any goals and Kentlake earned the clean sheet. The Eagles (4-4-0, 4-3-0) fell 1-0 to Tahoma (8-1-1, 4-1-1) on Tuesday in another crossover game with a South Puget Sound League Northeast team. Federal Way played at Kentwood (5-4-0, 5-2-0) on Thursday after the Mirror’s publishing deadline. They will take the field again at home against Kentridge (9-0-0, 7-0-0) on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7: 30 p.m. offensively. We still can’t move the football. We limited the turnovers. We’re not as far along as I wanted us to be. We want to come out and have a complete game.” Federal Way (1-4, 1-1) will face Kentwood (4-1), currently tied for the lead in the South Puget Sound League Northeast with Kent-Meridian, at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Federal Way Memorial

Mirror endorses council, Lakehaven candidates
T
he Mirror’s editorial board endorses the following candidates in the 2015 general election:
COUNCIL, POSITION 1
In the race for Federal Way City Council, Position 1, the Mirror endorses incumbent Lydia Assefa-Dawson. Her opponent, Mark Greene, needs more experience before running for the City Council and should better understand the position he is running for. Assefa-Dawson, who was appointed to the council in 2014 to fill a vacant position, is human-services oriented, works well with others and is a reasonable voice on the council. Born and raised in Ethiopia, she suffered a tragic accident as a baby, which resulted in her legs being amputated. She has faced tough challenges throughout her life and has developed a positive approach to handling problems — an attribute that is helpful in local government. She came to the U.S. 30 years ago, earned her master’s degree and raised three sons who currently attend college. Assefa-Dawson works for the King County Housing Authority, where she offers financial services for survivors of domestic violence. Now that she has been on the council for over a year, we encourage her to develop a deeper understanding of the issues and be more involved in the community. Assefa-Dawson has the ability to be an exceptional council member and we hope she’ll put more work in during her next term to become even more seasoned. The Mirror recommends voting for AssefaDawson for City Council Position 1.

For Federal Way City Council Position 5, the Mirror endorses Mark Koppang. Julie Hiller, his opponent, is very professional, exhibits determination, has strong fiscal experience, dares to challenge issues she thinks are wrong and offers a thoughtful alternative. [ more EDITORIAL page 8 ]
Races to watch: Fire district and school board Next week is the Mirror’s second debate. Though typically low key, the race for the Federal Way school board between Claire Wilson and Angela Griffin, along with the race for the South King Fire and Rescue board of commissioners between Bill Fuller and Roger Flygare are worth watching. The candidates themselves are interesting, but what the winners’ election signals may be even more significant. Both Wilson and Griffin have chosen to do mini-reporting and will spend no more than $5,000 each on their race. School board positions are determined by geographic representation, although the election is district-wide. Wilson is the incumbent in this position and Griffin was previously on the board from a different area. Griffin moved into Wilson’s district. Wilson is finishing her first term, and is the board vice chair. If re-elected, she will be the board’s most senior member with four years of experience. Professionally, she works in the education field and is knowledgeable about current and historical education issues. Wilson believes the district needs to improve its graduation-on-time rates and its
math scores. She is a strong advocate of early learning programs and family engagement in education. She was recently endorsed by the Federal Way Education Association. During the challenging days after former board chair Tony Moore’s departure, Wilson served as president for a short period of time. However, internal board disagreements led to her replacement. Insiders say Wilson has worked hard to move beyond that and build consensus. She appears to have succeeded, as all her fellow board members, other than Danny Peterson, who is leaving the board, have endorsed her reelection. When Griffin served on the board she also served as vice chair and brought a community awareness view. She was an articulate spokesperson for the needs of the district’s ethnically diverse population. Different students may have different needs whether in a vocation or in higher education. She has stayed current on education issues. Both of these candidates bring knowledge and passion to the educational debate, and Bob Roegner

Alarmed by Woodmont Recovery Center letter I was startled and annoyed when I read John Castronover’s Sept. 8 letter to the editor regarding the meeting at Woodmont El-
ementary School on Aug. 18 about the planned Woodmont Recovery Center. The statement that the citizens of Des Moines “are faced with the biggest battle that they have ever seen” seemed particularly hysterical since I actually sat through that entire meeting. I also read Raechel Dawson’s Aug. 20 report in the Mirror. It seemed like good journalism, cogent and even-handed. I don’t know if the gentleman was there; he doesn’t say. I heard much shouting and bad behavior from the audience and patient responses from the represen-
tatives of Valley Cities, who ended the meeting pleading for citizens to join a panel to consider the issues. It seemed to only inflame the audience to have it pointed out that the addicts and mentally ill are already their neighbors and forcing them to continue to travel to Seattle for treatment only does more harm.

Vote for Angela Griffin Angela Griffin is a proven leader in the Federal Way
Public Schools—as a parent and former school board director. High on her priority list is supporting students’ access to learning opportunities that will propel them into their future after high school, be it a college education, or technical training for high paying jobs. To be successful, students need the support of the adults in their school, at home, and in the community. Angela is back, and ready to roll up her sleeves and get the community more involved in our public schools. I urge you to vote for Angela, Federal Way

Regarding airplane noise I live less than five blocks from those complaining of the noise. However, in the summer I hear the planes because of being outside but, in the winter it isn’t noticeable. One person was upset as it knocked her ironing board over. My suggestion is to buy permanent press clothes and call the airport I’m sure they would send you ear plugs. By the way, I’m not deaf.

both also attended the controversial European trip with former Superintendent Rob Neu. Griffin was leaving the board when the trip occurred and Wilson remained on the board. But the central difference seems to be which candidate will help move the district forward. Some school board watchers believe that all the controversy has finally settled down and new Superintendent Tammy Campbell seems to have reinvigorated the district. They question whether now is the time to change the board and superintendent chemistry. Others say Griffin will bring a needed perspective. Both candidates were part of the Neu tenure but Wilson played a role in hiring Campbell. Watch to see how each candidate handles the chemistry topic. It may make the difference in the race. The other race that suddenly became hot after the primary election is for a seat on the South King Fire and Rescue board. Flygare has previously run for the state Legislature and for the City Council. He became controversial in an earlier election when it was discovered that he had embellished his military service. However, in this race he was easily considered the early front runner. He had the support of the fire district power structure, including the endorsement and donations from three fire board commissioners. One commissioner gave
him almost $400. He was also endorsed by the fire chief and was pictured with several firefighters in campaign literature. Flygare has good name recognition, is active in democratic politics and could raise the most money. As of early September he had raised almost $20,000 for the race, most of it from labor sources, but also from Democratic friends and a $5,000 loan he made to his campaign. That’s big money for a fire commissioner race. But something went wrong with all that political wisdom, as newcomer Fuller not only knocked frequent fire district critic Jerry Galland off the ballot, he finished ahead of Flygare. Fuller is not well-known, is following mini-reporting and will spend only a quarter of what Flygare will spend. Fuller won’t be able to afford much literature, newspaper ads or very many signs. He is the classic underdog. While he has both fire and business experience, it was his apparent independence from the current board that seemed to catch the voting public’s attention. Fuller was open to taking a closer look at making the board more transparent and reviewing some controversial policies that allow nepotism. The fire chief ’s son was the most high profile employment issue. But we now know that there are three relative duos among the permanent staff and the children
of three other current employees were hired for summer jobs. In addition, current Commissioner John Rickert has a son employed as a firefighter. Fair or not, Flygare’s comfort level with current policies, and support from the commissioners, chief and union doesn’t suggest an independence nor an ability to provide a check and balance that Fuller might provide. Fuller, despite his low campaign cash, is now a legitimate contender. But there is an overriding issue in this race. South King Fire has a measure on the ballot for additional funding that was defeated earlier. They are requesting a lower amount this time but the issue to voters is really one of credibility. The chief and his staff have been reaching out to the public to try and help pass the levy but they haven’t addressed any of the policy and employment issues that have raised concern. Or will simply lowering the amount be enough to get the issue passed? Things to watch for — will Flygare try to distance himself from the fire district power structure and his own “insider” tag to gain ground in his race and help the levy? How would the voters react? Will Fuller maintain his current voter-supported independence or try and soften his image to establish a relationship with the other commissioners in case he does win?
A potential problem for Fuller might be Galland, who finished third in the primary. Galland is running as a write-in candidate and is urging people to write his name in for both the Fuller-Flygare seat and in the Rickert seat where Rickert is unopposed. Winning either seat as a write-in is highly unlikely,

although Rickert’s lack of an opponent would seem to open the door. Any votes for Galland in the Fuller-Flygare race will help Flygare, as both Galland and Fuller are seen as candidates for change. Four very interesting candidates on the ballot, two very important races, along with an early test of the school district’s

We strongly encourage Hiller to run for the City Council again in the near future after she gets more involved on city boards or commissions. Koppang has prepared himself well for a seat on the council through all of his involvement. He was chair of the Federal Way school district’s Citizens Superintendent Search Committee, and is currently chair of the Parks & Recreation Commission, chair of the Independent Salary Commission, and current member and
former chair of the Civil Service Commission. Koppang will be valuable to Federal Way residents as he vows to focus on bringing family wage jobs to Federal Way. He is determined, well-organized and has shown a strong commitment to service, which will serve the city well. For City Council Position 5, the Mirror recommends voting for Koppang.
COUNCIL, POSITION 7
For Federal Way City Council Position 7, the Mirror endorses
Dini Duclos. Duclos has brought her business acumen to this seat since 2007 as the former CEO of the Multi-Service Center. She has vowed to watch the costs of the Performing Arts and Events Center closely and said she will task the city with making monthly budget reports available to the public. Duclos knows the issues very well, is committed to moving the city forward and has shown herself to be a hard working, thoughtful and effective City Council member.

Her opponent, PK Thumbi, also has the potential to be an asset to the city with more experience, training and help. Duclos brings a wealth of knowledge about the city and has earned another term on the council.
LAKEHAVEN
In the race for Lakehaven Utility District Position 3, the Mirror endorses Peter Sanchez. Richard Peterson, his opponent, has a firm grasp of budgeting and has experience managing a business. However,
he needs to demonstrate more community engagement before he runs for political office again. Sanchez has direct knowledge of sewer operations as an employee of the Southwest Suburban Sewer District and exhibits a sound understanding of water and sewer issues. He has shown his commitment to serving the community as he regularly attends Lakehaven board meetings and would serve the community well as a Lakehaven commissioner.

Camelot Elementary turns 50 FROM STAFF REPORTS
Camelot Elementary School will celebrate its 50th year anniversary from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16. The Camelot community has a lot to honor and to celebrate. Camelot was built in 1965 on the location of a former Nike missile site, according to Federal Way Public Schools officials. The building was designed by Tacoma architects Harris & Reed, who employed a “King Arthur” theme in the school’s creation. Today, Camelot is a level four Green School and has received two Blue Ribbon Awards in the last 15 years. Scrapbooks and memorabilia from the last 50 years will be gathered and put on display for the event. Camelot banners and shields made by current students
will decorate the school for the occasion. Along with celebrating the past, Camelot students have been asked to envision the future of their school. A writing assignment called “Camelot 25 Years From Now” garnered imaginative responses such as, “garbage cans will come to us,” “at recess we will go swimming” and “if it is still standing we might have [skyscrapers] a couple of stories high.” As part of the festivities, Camelot staff will open a time capsule from when the building was first constructed and prepare a new time capsule to be opened in the future. Camelot’s celebration will include tours of the school and a short program featuring previous principals. Attendees will also enjoy the presentation of shields, a memory slide show and the opportunity to greet staff and students from today and yesterday. Cake will also be served.

Great Washington ShakeOut coming Oct. 15 FROM STAFF REPORTS
For the fourth year in a row, Washington state is participating in the Great Washington ShakeOut “drop, cover and hold” earthquake drill at 10:15 a.m on Oct. 15. The drill emphasizes the urgent need for people, organizations, schools, communities and businesses to practice what to do to be safe and ready before an earthquake strikes. In addition, coastal communities will test their tsunami alert sirens at the same date and time using the real sound of the siren, not the Westminster Chimes that typically happen during the monthly tests. Last year, more than 1 million Washingtonians participated in the Great Washington ShakeOut. As of Sept. 15, more than 652,000 people have registered with more than a month to go before the big drill. People and organizations can sign up to participate at www.shakeout.org/washington. This year, residents and businesses who can’t do the drill on Oct. 15 are encouraged to register and do the drill when it’s most convenient. The important part is just to practice earthquake safety – and then do one more thing, either a communications plan, an emergency kit, map your neighborhood or even make sure you have a plan for your pets in the face of an emergency. For more information on preparedness, visit http://mil. wa.gov/preparedness. Besides residents and businesses, dozens of schools across the state will participate in the drill. Franklin Pierce School District will conduct a formal media event during the ShakeOut event at precisely 10:15 a.m, Oct. 15. The event will take place at Franklin Pierce’s Midland Elementary School. Contact the Superintendent’s Office at 253-298-3010 for more information.

Council candidates sound off on PAEC vote, more at Mirror forum BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Federal Way Mirror hosted a forum for City Council candidates Oct. 7 at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. Candidates included incumbent Lydia AssefaDawson, who is running against Mark Greene for Position 1; Julie Hiller and Mark Koppang, Position 5; and incumbent Dini Duclos and P.K. Thumbi, Position 7. Among the questions, council candidates were asked about their top issue for Federal Way. • Assesfa-Dawson: While Assefa-Dawson agreed that Federal Wayans need jobs that provide a liveable wage, she said the solution should be in education. Instead of being utilizers of services, those same people can participate as contributing members of society. • Greene: Affordable housing and providing a living wage to its citizens are Federal Way’s top issues, he said. Because low wages don’t provide a good lifestyle, Greene said the city should bring innovative solutions-based businesses that focus on the environment to help solve that issue. • Hiller: She wants there to be opportunities for career potential and the development of jobs for the Federal Way citizens but she also believes in looking after those who are in need of more basic care. She said the city is not doing all that it can to take care of its homeless population and believes there should be a balance in city government. • Koppang: Bringing family wages jobs to

in the Revived Citizens Party and supports the labeling of genetically modified foods. • Julie Hiller and Mark Koppang are competing for Federal Way City Council Position 5. While Koppang has ran for the City Council before, Hiller is a political newcomer. Koppang has served on multiple committees, including the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Civil Service and Independent Salary commissions and Kiwanis. Hiller is a businesswoman who leads the Human Care Ministry and serves onthe board of Light of Christ Community Garden. • Dini Duclos (incumbent) and P.K. Thumbi are competing for Federal Way City Council Position 7. Duclos was elected in 2007 and appointed as deputy mayor in 2010. Duclos serves as chair of finance for the Economic Development and Regional Affairs Committee and is a member of the Parks, Recreation,Human Services and Public Safety Committee. Thumbi serves on the Arts Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission and applied to be appointed to the vacant council seat last year but the seat was filled by Assefa-Dawson.
30TH DISTRICT CANDIDATES
Regarding economic development, Gregory said she is interested in looking at strategies with the Chamber. She said both the Chamber and Legislature need to focus on bringing a variety of businesses to the Federal Way area. She is specifically interested in Federal Way’s Weyerhaeuser property after the timber giant moves its corporate headquarters to Seattle in 2016. That property has potential to bring added value to the community, she said. Hickel agreed with Gregory that local legislators need to help bring more businesses to Federal Way, including more innovative jobs for people interested in fields such as technology and engineering. If elected, Hickel will also work on filling Federal Way’s downtown core. “We have room to grow, that’s one of the reasons why I’m here,” she said. “We have a great location and if we can get people in and out, then we can help our community prosper.” The Legislature also needs to pay attention to taxes and must ensure the state doesn’t overtax Federal Way businesses, she said. Hickel said one of the main issues with economic development in Federal Way is congestion and transportation. She said it’s important for the Legislature to focus on road improvements and she touted the recent transportation package that Federal Way Republicans Sen. Mark Miloscia and Rep. Linda Kochmar supported this year, but Gregory did not.
Federal Way is a key issue for Koppang. He said there’s various policies the council can focus on to do that but one way to solve that problem will be to work together with Weyerhaeuser to bring in a company that provides those jobs. Koppang also said he’s concerned about the events center’s lack of funding but since the bid was already awarded, he’s committed to solving those problems. • Thumbi: He also believes economic development is an issue in Federal Way and wants to see traffic improvement along South 320th Street. Thumbi emphasized the importance of helping small business and added he has concerns with the Performing Arts and Events Center’s current financing plan. • Duclos: The long-time councilwoman said the city’s top issue is downtown redevelopment. She said the city is starting to turn that around with the recent bid award of the Performing Arts and Events Center and the purchase of the former Target site. She also mentioned the purchase of the Cratsenberg property will be positive for the city. Members of the audience asked if candidates believe there should be a citizen vote on the construction of the Performing Arts and Events Center before approval. • Assefa-Dawson: She said it would take too long for a citizen vote, as the project is set to break ground soon, but thinks that implementing this approach for a different policy decision in the future is a good idea. “But we’re doing the right thing now,” she said. • Greene: He believes the people of Washington
The package included funding for three congestion-related projects that will support the south Puget Sound region. Gregory agrees that there are a number of important projects in the transportation package that will help Federal Way. “Where I differ is on the taxing authority for it,” she said. “We’ve got to look at other ways to fund our system … I don’t have a problem with the transportation package; I have a problem that we are only using regressive taxes to fund things and for people on fixed incomes and low incomes, that isn’t working anymore.” Both candidates were also asked what the state should do to respond to the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision to fully fund education, as well as how to fund higher education. Hickel said the state needs to fix its “unfair” and “outdated” levy structure and how the state funds schools. Federal Way is the “poster child” for districts to do a levy swap, she said. Hickel also said lowering college tuition as the state did this year is important for students so there’s more access to higher education. Gregory agreed with Hickel, but said fixing the state’s levy system is only part of the solution. She said legislators must write a plan that fully funds the Supreme Court’s definition of basic education. “And the levy swap is part of that question — I don’t disagree with that, but a levy swap is not the full answer possibly because many are saying it may cost more than what it would bring in,” Gregory said. “It also is not the same in every district, so there’s a lot of confusion about what a levy swap means. And until we actually see the numbers and a strategy for doing that, I don’t know if that’s the full solution but it’s clearly a part of that solution.” What would the candidates do to retain and attract high paying, family sustaining jobs in the south Puget Sound region? Gregory said legislators need to develop strong economic partnerships in the region “so that we fully know what we want.” She said education and bringing a state university to Federal Way is a key part of that. Hickel would also like to see a state university come to Federal Way. She said the state also needs to make sure to maintain Federal Way’s tax structures so companies will want to move to Federal Way. She would like to see legislators “create synergy” around the medical field in Federal Way, which has St. Francis Hospital, a new Seattle Children’s South Clinic and other healthcare facilities.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: COUNCIL CANDIDATES
City Council candidates were asked what specific econom-
state were some of the first who started initiatives and that any time there’s a “grand event,” that the “people ought to be part of the process.” He doesn’t support the events center because he believes the city should take care of basic needs before spending a lot of money elsewhere. • Hiller: She said there is “no good reason voters are not getting a vote.” She’s frustrated with the lack of progress in acquiring certain funds for the events center, however, noted she’s not an antiPerforming Arts and Events Center person. She believes there’s been an indication from citizens that they want a vote and it’s being ignored. • Koppang: He said he understands the desire for the vote but stated the city is too far along and has spent too much money on the project that implementing a public vote would be “devastating” for the city. “Everybody wants a voice,” he acknowledged but at this point, that voice would not serve the people. “It’s time to move forward.” • Thumbi: In spending $30 million of taxpayer’s money, he believes the least the city could do is allow those taxpayers a vote. He has concerns about the project’s funding. • Duclos: She said the events center discussion started during her first term on the council but the project was shelved after a change in government and the Great Recession. Although this caused the city to hold off on progress, the mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel’s results and her conversations with businesses provided context that going forward was the right decision. She said not everyone will always agree.
ic development initiative they would support and how they would work with the Chamber to achieve it. • Hiller: The city should maintain the elements that make Federal Way a business-friendly city, including no business and occupation taxes and ensuring smooth permitting. The city needs to partner with businesses and citizens and establish common goals of what the city should look like. • Koppang: Economic development is one of the reasons he is running for council. The city needs to clearly state and practice in policy that Federal Way is open for business. The city should also look at strategic alignment with industries that work well, such as healthcare. He wants to see family wage jobs come to Federal Way. • Thumbi: He said economic development is key and what America is all about. His main focus would be to create a desk at City Hall for businesses, which would have a database that would connect businesses in one location. • Duclos: She said it’s crucial the city develops its downtown. Weyerhaeuser would be a “wonderful place” where people could do research and train for the med-tech industry. She would also like to see a college downtown. • Greene: He thinks Federal Way should become the center of solution-based businesses that tackle societal problems, such as developing green energy sources. • Assefa-Dawson: She said all the activities and events in Federal Way will attract businesses. She said the city’s population consists of numerous cultures who she believes can start their own businesses and city officials need to encourage those businesses that everyone could benefit from. She would also like the city to attract a college campus that could cater to those who need jobs and to match student’s education with jobs located in Federal Way.
YES OR NO: COUNCIL CANDIDATES
In a lightning round, City council Candidates answered questions by holding up a sign that said yes, no or undecided. • When asked whether they were in favor of allowing marijuana businesses in Federal Way, Greene was the only candidate who answered yes. Duclos was undecided. • When asked whether they expected the proposed Federal Way day shelter to be under construction in 2016, all of the candidates answered yes. • When asked whether the city should have building height limits, Thumbi was the only candidate who answered no. Duclos was undecided. • Should the city consider having an objective, independent citizen oversight panel of the police department: Greene, Thumbi, Koppang and Hiller, yes; Duclos and Assefa-Dawson, undecided.

Miloscia announces bid to replace state auditor FROM STAFF REPORTS
State Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, announced Thursday he will run to replace embattled state Auditor Troy Kelley in 2016. A federal grand jury handed down a 10-count indictment against Kelley last April that accused him of theft between 2002-2008. In September, eight new federal charges were filed against Kelley, including allegations that he laundered money and paid himself from funds he allegedly stole from clients of his former real estate business. He has been on unpaid leave while fighting the federal charges. Milosica said he will “bring back respect and leadership” to an office that has been “plagued with scandal and embarrassment” since Kelley was elected nearly three years ago. “Troy Kelley has brought shame and embarrassment to our once well-respected state auditor’s office,” Miloscia said in a news release. “The office has been rudderless since Kelley’s predecessor, Brian Sonntag, retired. As the next state auditor, I will critically examine all government spending in a fair and nonpartisan manner in the same way Auditor Sonntag did for 20 years. As we look to invest in critical programs that suffered devastating cuts during the recession, state government must improve its performance. I have a proven track record in both the public and private sectors, rooting out waste and improving performance.” Miloscia served in the state House of Representatives from 1999-2013. After being elected to his first Senate term in 2014, he was named chair of its Accountability and Reform Committee, which oversees improving performance of state programs and audits of agencies. He is a recognized state and national leader in government accountability and ethics reform since he was first elected. “We can’t afford to waste money. Every dollar wasted is one dollar less for schools or highway improvements,” Milosica continued. I learned how to get the most out of the taxpayer’s hardearned dollar by auditing Boeing programs for the Air Force, and during my tenure in the state House
and Senate. People that have forced are sick of seeing the Department of incompetence in Social and Health their state governServices to pay out ment. Departmental over $160 million in mismanagement has the last eight years. led to problems like We need to hold Mark Miloscia costly overruns with these people acprojects such as the countable, and stop Highway 99 tunnel further waste.” and preventable lawsuits Miloscia is also regarded
as a fierce social justice advocate. He championed a bill in 2005 that aimed to cut the state’s homeless population by 50 percent, and was honored with an award from the King County Family Coalition/Arc of King County for his support for individuals with developmental disabilities in 2015.
He has served as both a Democrat in the state House and Republican in the state Senate. He says he believes the state auditor’s office should become nonpartisan. Miloscia said his goal as state auditor would be to help make local governments more effective so that they can provide better
services for middle class families and our state’s most vulnerable. Miloscia currently works as an emergency substitute teacher in the Auburn School District. He has been married to Meschell for 35 years and has three children, two children-in-laws and six grandsons.

Q&A with Mr. FW: Mr. Federal Way endorses candidates | Part 1
Q
: Mr. Federal Way, who do you endorse for Federal Way’s local political races and why? A: As Mr. Federal Way has said before, the best way to know a candidate is to find out what his or her favorite reality TV show is, what flavor of ice cream he or she would be and, let’s face it, what he or she thinks about Mr. Federal Way. So this columnist sent out a questionable questionairre to all of the local candidates for 18 opens seats, including all candidates who are running unopposed. This week, Mr. Federal Way will present the answers from the City Council and Lakehaven candidates who returned their questionairres. Here are Mr. Federal Way’s endorsements: For City Council Position 1, Mr. Federal Way endorses Lydia Assefa-Dawson. While Mr. Federal Way is saddened that she couldn’t find anything admirable about this columnist and she likes pistachio ice cream, Mr. Federal Way appreciates the headline of her life (see answers below). Her opponent Mark Greene didn’t bother to respond to Mr. Federal Way’s questions
so Mr. Federal Way won’t bother to vote for him. Susan Honda is running solo for the Position 3 seat on the council. Mr. Federal Way thinks she is well-deserving of his endorsement because she had the most unique response for the flavor of ice cream she’d be and Mrs. Federal Way also loves to watch “Real Housewive’s of Beverly Hills.” City Council Position 5 was tough for Mr. Federal Way to choose, but ultimately the Federal Way’s will vote for Julie Hiller, who so candidly admitted what she thinks of drivers when she’s alone in her car. Her opponent Mark Koppang was kind enough to name a local business in his choice of ice cream flavor, but Mr. Federal Way is not big on healthy food. For Position 7 on the council, Mr. Federal Way recommends voting for Dini Duclos, who has the most unique way of unwinding after work. Her opponent PK Thumbi did not respond to these questions, therefore
Mr. Federal Way will not bother to respond to his name on the ballot. Finally, for Lakehaven Position 3, Mr. Federal Way endorses Peter Sanchez, who has the most keen eye for detail as he pointed out that a cow is not a “he.” Richard Peterson, his opponent, also did not respond to the questions, so he’s out. Mr. Federal Way will now kick back his feet and let someone else answer some questions this week. Here are the candidate’s responses and Mr. Federal Way hopes you will find an ice cream flavor, a tap-dancing cow or a time machine answer that will sway your voting decision: What would Mr. Federal Way find in your refrigerator right now? Hiller: Milk, eggs, butter, cheese, veggies — pretty much stuff to throw together sandwiches, salads and easy breakfasts. Also beverages, condiments and a science experiment or two. Koppang: Healthy food! Assefa-Dawson: Milk,

water, fruit, bread, butter, Ethiopian food. Duclos: My food, dog food, chocolate ice cream, my Sunday shoes, etc. Honda: Fruit, milk, cheese, orange juice, pumpkin pie. Also eggs. Also whipped cream. Sanchez: Just what you’d find in any refrigerator, absolutely nothing to shock or amaze. What is your favorite reality TV show? Hiller: Love lots of the HGTV shows, especially “Fixer Upper,” “Property Brothers” and “Flip or Flop.” Koppang: “The Voice” Assefa-Dawson: “America’s Got Talent” Duclos: “American Pickers” Honda: “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” I love watching how people act. Sanchez: “Deadliest Catch” How do you unwind after a long day at work? Hiller: Read, spend time with my family. Koppang: Catch up on the day with my wife and read. Assefa-Dawson: Read short stories. Duclos: Counter clockwise but it confuses the dog. Honda: I like to walk my dogs or ride my exercise bike. Sanchez: Watch the news, read, work on hobbies. What did you eat for dinner last night? Hiller: Tylenol Cold, followed by ice cream.
Koppang: Stir fry. Assefa-Dawson: I didn’t. I ate a late lunch at Black Bear Diner. Duclos: Looking at the crumbs on the counter either pizza or biscuits or toast or maybe a dog biscuit. Honda: I had a root beer float for dinner last night. It was really good! Sanchez: Chicken pot pie. Where would you go in a time machine? Hiller: Back to 2001, the year our daughter was born. I’d especially want to spend time with her and my parents (who are now deceased) together. She was their only grandchild and watching them interact was magical. I would love to have another chance for us to all be together. Since I would be time-traveling and apparently would have superpowers, I would make sure we experienced 2001 in a lovely, tropical locale. Koppang: Sept. 10, 2001. Assefa-Dawson: 1994, to be present to experience President Mandela’s inaugural speech of hope. Duclos: I would go to 2067 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Performing Arts and Events Center. Honda: I would like to go back to high school. Now that we have grown up it would be fun to see how and what we did back then. Sanchez: Back to the late ‘40s, early ‘50s to stand track-side to see, hear and feel steam locomotives at
work. What would you do if you won the lottery? Hiller: Well, first I would have to play the lottery. Koppang: Invest it and keep working and serving the city of Federal Way. Assefa-Dawson: Pay my debt off, make sure my kids are taken car of, buy a condo/house, give to my church and to charities Duclos: Pay for the Performing Arts and Events Center, of course. Honda: Give most of the money to a deserving charity. I could not tell you which one but children would be involved. I would have a family vacation for all of my family, sisters and their families, and my children and grandchildren. I don’t need anything. Helping others would be what everyone will say. I mean it. Sanchez: Pay off everything that I owe and make sure my grandson will get a good education. Other than that, I have no clue. If you were an ice cream, what flavor would you be? Hiller: Tillamook Oregon hazelnut and salted caramel. Koppang: Sub Zero coffee with pecans. Assefa-Dawson: Pistachio. Duclos: Chocolate — no questions about it. Honda: If I were ice cream I would be vanilla. It goes with everything and can be plain or dressed up. Sanchez: Cookie dough. If you were shipwrecked on a deserted island, but all your human needs — such as food and water — were [ more Mr. FW, page 25 ]

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Gear Up For Fantastic Holiday Party Planning This Holiday Season Tired of the same holiday routine, and looking to get out of your rut? A new outlook this holiday season could begin with an entertainment intervention. Try these festive ideas from eHow.com’s entertaining expert Allana Baroni. Rise to the occasion. Before you begin planning your fete, make sure you’re in the right frame of mind. You don’t even have to call it a party - that word can carry too many expectations. Just think of it as group therapy with a party twist. Look “dishy.”Leave the dishes in the kitchen, but do look “dishy.” Dressing up used to be a competition, but casual is the new fabulous. So, lose the head-to-toe bling and embrace a fresh, simple and festive ensemble. Don’t be afraid to seek out help. It’s OK to use ideas you’ve seen before, after all, it’s the interpretation of the inspiration that makes the dif-
ference. To help get the party-planning juices flowing, visit www. GetSocial.com or www.eHow.com. Keep it simple. Start with your party space. There’s no need to completely makeover your place. Rather, work with what you have, to create a casual and comfortable environment. A good example is to create a cozy, cushy seating area on the floor. Place a plush rug and fluffy pillows in front of the fireplace for a fun night of storytelling and gift swapping. So, happy party planning! Remember, the key to planning a great event starts with being a fantastic host. Who knows, your event may even become an annual tradition that will have your friends talking all year long.

The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Man shoots BB gun at dogs, breaks glass: At 10:43 a.m. on Oct. 4 in the 2700 block of S. 276th Place, police arrested and released a man after he shot a BB gun at some barking dogs who were tied up in front of a house. The suspect struck the homeowners’ sliding glass door, shattering the glass. It was estimated that the glass would cost somewhere around $400 to have replaced. The suspect admitted to doing it and was apologetic and said he has talked to the neighbors before and they refuse to keep the dogs quiet. Graffiti found on walls: At 11:39 a.m. on Oct. 4 in the 2100 block of S. 314th St., graffiti artists tagged several characters with the tags ‘”CASPER,”“JAVELIN,” and “FWPK” on some walls.

City code enforcement was on scene and made arrangements for cleanup. Police deemed the case is inactive, pending further developments. Man committed after ingesting drugs: At 3:51 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the 2100 block of SW 336th St., police responded to reports of a man standing in front of Rite Aid, obstructing traffic and staggering. It appeared he could not balance and stepped onto the roadway. The officer turned on his lights and the man didn’t acknowledge his presence. The officer had to yell to get the man’s attention. He was unable to balance as he walked. He told police he ingested spice (synthetic marijuana) and methadone. He had to be physically escorted to an ambulance stretcher. Police found him in possession of spice, which was seized and booked into safekeeping. Wife assaults husband: At 6:05 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the 33500 block of 39th Ave. SW, a man called police to report his wife had assaulted him. They got into an argument about her drinking and she left to get into their van. The victim entered the van to take the keys from her to prevent her from driving drunk. The wife allegedly kicked and hit her husband, causing pain to his head. The suspect locked herself inside the van until police arrived. She told police she had scratches on her forearms, but did not answer followup questions. She was arrested for assault and booked into SCORE jail.

Oregon shooting triggers call for blood donors FROM STAFF REPORTS
The tragic mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg has resulted in numerous injuries, many of them critical, making major demands on the blood supply. Lane Blood Center in Eugene has issued an urgent appeal to blood donors to help meet those critical needs. Lane Blood Center is part of Bloodworks Northwest – a regional network of blood centers that ensures a safe, ample blood supply in the Pacific Northwest. “To avoid a crisis for the local blood supply we’re asking donors who have not donated recently to schedule an appointment as soon as they can at the Lane Blood Center, or to find a mobile drive in their community close to where they live or work in the days ahead,” AuBuchon said. “There is a special need for O Negative and O Positive blood types.” Their Federal Way center is located at 1414 S. 324th St., Suite B101 in Federal Way. Appointments are strongly encouraged. Appointments can be made online at schedule.bloodworksnw.org or by calling 1-800-3987888.

Federal agency sues Northwest Territorial Mint for sexual harassment BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
The owner of Federal Way-based Northwest Territorial Mint was summoned on Thursday for a federal lawsuit filed against him, alleging sexual harassment in the workplace. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the claims on Sept. 30 against Ross Hansen, the owner and founder of the largest private mint in the country. According to the suit, Hansen allegedly subjected three female employees to “lewd sexual comments, offensive jokes, derogatory terms for women, remarks on women’s breast sizes and body shapes, questions about intimate matters and screaming and namecalling.” Patricia Hoffman, a former receptionist for the company from August 2013-June 2014, filed the complaint with the commission on June 11, 2014 after “yet another screaming incident against her by Hansen.” During her year there, she alleged Hansen held up his pet male dog along her desktop, exposing its genitals and then causing it to leave a trail of
discharge. The suit involved two other women, Jennifer Gue, a former warehouse manager from January 2008 to September 2014; and Lauren Bailie, a lead generation specialist from March to October 2014. Gue said Hansen called her a “fat cow,” a “c***” and a “f****** bitch,” while Bailie said he asked her if she was planning on getting pregnant and if she would sleep with men of other ethnicities. The women claimed Hansen also poked their bodies and touched their breasts. The lawsuit says the company’s policy offers no way for reporting misconduct from the president and that the employees were too afraid to complain about him because he “bullied and insulted those who disagreed with him.” But still, Hoffman reported the alleged sexual harassment on more than one occasion to her supervisor. However, she was told there was nothing that could be done. “Sexual harassment laws apply to everyone in the workplace, especially the head of the company who has a duty to keep all
employees safe,” said Nancy Sienko, Equal Employee Opportunity Commission, Seattle field director. “When harassers rely on their unchecked authority to abuse their victims and keep them silent, [the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] takes up the fight to ensure workers’ rights to have a workplace free from discrimination and harassment.” The commission states sexual harassment and forced resignation violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “[The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] seeks monetary damages and other affirmative relief for the three former employees, as well as injunctive relief to remedy and prevent future sexual [ more LAWSUIT, page 18 ]
pet of the week Flynn is a 10-12-year-old male cat,
American Curl, domestic short hair (ID No. A472340). This sweet boy is affectionate and loves to be petted head to tail, especially the sides of his neck. He will rub against you and purr in appreciation. He likes being held and will settle in your arms, but will perk up if you walk him by a window. A nice window perch in his new home will make his day. Flynn is feline immunodeficiency viruspositive and will need to be indoor-only, and either an only kitty or live with other virus-positive kitties, which can live just as long as other kitties. He also has chronic otitis, which means he keeps getting ear infections in his outer ear canal. He also has had some recent dental issues that may require special care in the future. Flynn is litter-box trained, neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped. Flynn is happy and ready for his forever home. Find out more about Flynn

harassment in the workplace,” according to a news release. When asked to respond to the commission’s lawsuit, Hansen questioned whether one was ever filed. “There’s absolutey no validity to this,” Hansen said, adding that sexual harassment complaints are typical when an employee is fired and looking for retaliation. In fact, Hansen said the allegations are just that. “We caught a lady stealing here,” he said. “There was a lady with her best friend and the lady who we caught stealing admitted to it and is being prosecuted for theft. Her best friend quit and filed a claim against us and we answered that but we’ve never been sued that we know of.” The Mirror confirmed prosecutors have charged a woman named Stacy Butler with first-degree theft, a felony, for allegedly stealing precious metal worth more than $5,000 from Northwest Territorial Mint. According to charging documents, Butler was hired as a receptionist in May 2004 and was terminated in March 2014 after an auditor discovered she was defrauding the company with false orders. “She confessed to the theft, went out and produced some of the stolen items out of her car. Her best friend was sitting next to her and was very upset when her best friend got fired,” Hansen said, noting the “best friend” was the one who filed the complaint with the commission. “It’s being vindictive.” Hansen said the commission has “never met a sexual harassment case” they’ve turned down, and that they issue press releases in an attempt to get companies to settle out of court. “I’m not going to settle with them, I’m going to take them to court,” he said. “… It makes me angry when you have an abuse by a federal agency like this.” Northwest Territorial Mint employs around 300 people and operates in eight other locations.-

www.federalwaymirror.com in-hand. [ PAEC from page 1] since it was first included in a comprehensive plan 26 years ago. “… A bit of history about our neighbors to the north: Back in 1899, the city of Seattle purchased 200 acres known as Woodland Park for $100,000. Many citizens criticized the move. Among other things, they complained that it was too distant from the city center. Would anyone criticize that purchase now? The zoo and park are considered one of the top 10 in the nation.” But a few have criticized that the city is moving too fast in constructing the events center. Councilwoman Susan Honda was the only one to vote against awarding the bid. Councilwoman Kelly Maloney, who has voiced similar concerns as Honda, was out of town. Honda said during her time on the Arts Commission for six years, she went to many meetings about the events center. “I couldn’t understand why not all of our council members supported this great idea because it’s a great idea,” she said. “And then I was elected to City Council and realized how complicated it is running a city.” Honda said securing all of the construction funding — the city is still millions short — was supposed to be the “easy part,” while finding the money to continue to operate the center would be more difficult. “And we haven’t talked about that at all tonight,” she said. “We need to know how to operate and maintain it and how it will fit into this city.” Maloney wrote in a letter that the center’s construction was the “single-most expensive project the city has undertaken in its 25 years” and it generates many questions, opposition and a call for a public vote. “Questions about financing for construction and ongoing operations costs, challenges to the reported economic impact and the multiplier effect, and requests for a public vote have all been valid inquiries and points for further examination,” Maloney continued, adding that she believes a public-private partnership should be explored if the bid was awarded. Federal Way resident Matthew Jarvis said the city should not “count its chickens before they’ve hatched,” referring to pending grants, the sale of naming rights and a hotel pad, and other unsecured funds, such as the New Markets Tax Credits the city hoped to acquire. Jarvis said he supports the bid approval but simply wants the city to delay construction until they have all the money
October 9, 2015 [19]
The city’s finance director Ade Ariwoola said the city has $12 million with a commitment from the state for $4 million. The other $10 million would come from a 4Culture grant for $2 million, a $3 million Community Development Block Grant section 108 loan, $1.5 million from the sale of the hotel pad (now located at the former Target site) and $3.5 million from the naming rights to the center. Ariwoola said the city still has time to close the $6.27 million gap, which will go towards construction and the contingency. Having already approved a three-year interfund loan for $13 million back in July 2014, Ariwoola said the city won’t have to start using that until November 2016 and it won’t require repayment until November 2019. That gives the city time to re-apply for the New Markets Tax Credits, fundraise on top of the $700,000 already raised, and potentially secure more grants. Still, if they come across the “worst case scenario,” the interfund loan would be repaid with a 20-year bond with a 3 percent interest rate. Based on the current funding gap, Ariwoola estimated that would cost the city $421,443 a year, which would be drawn from current general revenue, utility taxes and sales tax. The majority of feedback during the public comment section of the hearing was positive and in favor of constructing the events center. Shari Song thanked the city for having the vision and foresight to support the center because “not only will it be a catalyst” for economic development, “but a vehicle for cultural development and community building.” Paul Levy, a Federal Way resident representing the Washington District of Metropolitan Opera National Council, said he wishes the facility was already built as he and his wife are “venue shopping.” “This year, we will be auditioning 30 kids,” Levy said. “They’re singers between the ages of 20-30 and they come not only from all over the state. We’ve got a singer coming from Alaska, we’ve got Hawaii, Australia, Philadelphia. They come here, they need a place to stay, they don’t just lie out in the street. We bring judges in throughout the country. This year, two judges are from New York. And we book hotel rooms for them, they need a place to eat…. When you start to add these numbers up, and begin to recognize the impact that our event will have on the community, it’s just a microcosm of what’s possible.” Promoter of Northern Classic Bodybuilding show Mi-
chele Mayberry also expressed a desire to use the center. “We have such a hard time finding a venue of around 700-900 seats in the Puget Sound area that has an opening for us,” Mayberry wrote in a letter to the city. “Everything is booked for years in advance. We would love to be able to use the Performing Arts and Events Center, as it is the perfect location and size as well as having the hotels nearby.” Mayberry explained the 200 competitors and 700-plus supporters would benefit the city’s tourism and economy during their all-day events. She even expressed interest in discussing a five-year contract if they could secure the dates they need. Phil Wamba said he supports building the center now because construction costs will only rise as time goes on, while Pam Smith, the managing director of the Auburn Performing Arts Center, affirmed the current need is also now. “I see this more as a collaboration than a competition,” she said, noting she turns away clients because there’s not enough dates, parking or time slots for groups that want to utilize the Auburn facility. A resident in Federal Way since 1962, Dana Turcott thanked the city for taking care of the community as did Keith Livingston. “Some of us recognize that Federal Way has been in a slow economic decline for many years, building the Performing Arts and Events Center is an opportunity to begin to reverse that trend,” Livingston said, adding that the naysayers’ concerns about money are being used as a fear tactic. Yet Honda questioned whether the city is expecting a little too much from this building “because it’s just a building.” “Federal Way should not be defined by a single building but by the people who work and live in Federal Way, the people who call Federal Way home,” she said. Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge said the vote signifies the construction of more than a building – a community. “It will be a place for the people who use it, it will be all of what happens there, truly the heart of our city,” she said. “… Coupled with other redevelopment plans in Town Center, including the park and Target site, the [events center] will animate the environment during the day and evening, greatly improve the quality of life in Federal Way, increasing local pride, contributing to an improved brand image. It will create a more vibrant community.” Garco Construction is expected to break ground on the Performing Arts and Events Center on Oct. 21.

Federal Way for some reason. It’s also possible that it could have been the lingering effect of some past head trauma. Mr. Federal Way is unsure, but these seem to be the only plausible reasons. It’s obvious the staff wanted everyone to notice as they put it next to the main attraction of the paper. Mr. Federal Way is humbled by the gesture. As for the clocks, Mrs. Federal Way does not let Mr. Federal Way touch them after the snooze button was mysteriously taped down one week. Mr. Federal Way claims no responsibility for that incident. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what’s in your refrigerator? A: None of your business.

taken care of, what two items would you bring with you? Hiller: 1) An iPad with perfect Wi-Fi access available, loaded with all the apps I would ever need, and of course a complete library of e-books. 2) Some kind of all-encompassing personal care device (think Swiss Army knife, only for grooming). It would include toothbrush, hair brush, maybe a solar-powered hair dryer, nail file, tweezers, etc. Koppang: A fully charged satellite phone and GPS locator beacon. I would enjoy a brief island vacation but would want to get home. Assefa-Dawson: My Bible/an inspirational book and pen. Duclos: My little dog Dwight and a copy of the Federal Way Mirror (without the ad pages). Honda: My phone (as long as I had service) and my family, which includes my dogs. Sanchez: My wife (even though she’s not a thing), music. If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time? Hiller: Spend time with my closest loved ones — traveling to new places would be great if health allowed. Most of all I would want to make sure to make the most of every moment with my daughter. Koppang: That’s easy, spend time with my family and friends. Assefa-Dawson: Visit friends far and near, continue to volunteer. Duclos: I would walk the beach with Dwight and scuba dive in all the places I have not gone but always wanted to. Honda: I have thought of this. I have a friend who may be facing this issue. I would spend every possible minute with my grandchildren. Of course, their parents and my husband would be around. Sanchez: Drag my wife and grandson on a road trip to visit all the railroad museums and tourist railroads that I could. In the news story of your life, what would the headline say? Hiller: “Julie Hiller is a very blessed woman� Koppang: “Mark Koppang is committed to Federal Way and its future� Assefa-Dawson: “Triumph through tragedy� Duclos: “Governor Duclos moved legislation through to fully fund Federal Way’s special project before her untimely demise� Honda: I had to do this in 10th grade English. Mrs. Harvey made us write our obituaries. Let me tell you some of our parents were very upset at this assignment. I wish I could find that paper. My headline now would be that I loved to serve others. I hope that I am remembered that way. Sanchez: “Average Joe weds, said to be luckiest man alive� What do you think about while you’re alone in your car?
state 5 not moving. Koppang: What great roads we have in Federal Way! Assefa-Dawson: I assess my day to see what I have contributed. Duclos: Where is the next red light camera? Honda: Where I am going and do where I need to be? Sanchez: Not much other than where I’m going. A cow walks through that door right now wearing tap shoes. What does he say and why is he here? Hiller: “Hi - I’m seeking asylum.â€? He picked our front door because my husband is a vegetarian. Koppang: He comments on how easy my yard signs are to read and thanks me for eating ground turkey! Assefa-Dawson: Really? He’ll say, take these tap shoes off. I have no use for these. Duclos: Got milk? Looking for milk. Honda: I would tell the cow we don’t wear shoes in the house. He would leave. Sanchez: Well if it were a cow it would be she ‌ What movie, no matter how many times you’ve seen it, do you have to watch when it’s on? Hiller: “Sound of Music.â€? It’s a classic. Koppang: “Gladiatorâ€? or “Ground Hog Dayâ€? Assefa-Dawson: “Documentariesâ€? Duclos: “JAWSâ€? Honda: I don’t watch movies. They take up a lot of time. Sanchez: “MASHâ€? What do you admire most about Mr. Federal Way? Hiller: His humility, of course. (See his signature line). Koppang: His humility. Assefa-Dawson: Admire? Duclos: Let me think, still thinking, still thinking. Can we get back to that later on? Honda: I admire that even with constant criticism, you still come back every week. Sanchez: Never really thought about it. Boxers or briefs? Hiller: None of your business! (C’mon‌what did you think I would say?!) Koppang: None of your business! Assefa-Dawson: Neither. Duclos: None of your business. Honda: None of your business! Sanchez: None of your business. Q: Mr. Federal Way, how can the Mirror editor allow a notice to be placed on page 12, next to Mr. Federal Way, telling everyone daylight saving was this month and to set our clocks back? Did Mr. Federal Way set his clock back? A: Oct. 4 was supposedly national vodka day, perhaps the staff got an early head start or they needed the extra hour for their soon-to-come hangovers. They did not invite Mr.

Top 12 tips to stay sexually savvy during Seahawks season | Part 1 1. STAY EDUCATED
Even though he plays defense, it’s important to remember that cornerback Richard Sherman graduated from Stanford. Education is important. Parents, if your kids come to you with questions about bodies, babies, relationships and romance, answer them honestly with age-appropriate information. Research has clearly shown that giving accurate information does not increase sexual behavior. This is especially true if
you do so in the context of your family values. If you don’t know the answer, look it up. Get some books to have around and read together. If you need help knowing where to look something up, or what to read, go here www. DiligentJoy.com/ resources.php. Amy Johnson

you do or don’t engage in this behavior? • What are the potential risks or benefits? • What is important enough to you that you are willing to wait for? Kam Chancellor has certainly been willing to wait this season for something he believes in. It doesn’t matter if no one else knows or cares why you believe what you do.

3. PLAN AHEAD
Quarterback Russell Wilson has a plan when he steps out onto the field. It may not always go as he envisioned, so he’s got back-up. Think ahead about scenarios that could happen — at a party, on a date, with friends — and make a plan. And don’t leave home without your back-up. Teens, do you have a parent or other safe adult you can call if you get into an uncomfortable situation who will come get you, no questions asked?
You can use a special phrase like “I’m not feeling well” or even Wilson’s favorite, “Go Hawks!” to signal you need help. You can also make a plan with a friend to back each other up if one wants to head out from a party or other social situation. These simple tools increase your chances of avoiding penalties or injuries.

4. BE MEDIA LITERATE
One Seahawk with serious media savvy is running back Marshawn Lynch. He knows when to pay attention, when to be the center of attention and when not to bother. You, too, need to be savvy about the media and what’s portrayed in it. Parents, use teachable moments. Discuss what you see your kids watching and listening to. Ask a question like, “Do you know anyone who’s found themselves in a similar situation?” or “What do you think
