City Council approves funds for temporary day shelter BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

packed City Hall gave a standing ovation to the Federal Way City Council after they unanimously approved $100,000 of city funds for a day shelter on Tuesday. Divided into $50,000 for 2015 and another $50,000 for 2016, the money will be used by the Federal Way Day Shelter Coalition to open the project this winter. “We hear too many stories in

this country about how divided we are, how broken our politics are, how little we are able to get done addressing the common problems we share, our most challenging problems,” said Reverend James Kubal-Komoto of Saltwater Unitarian Universalist Church and member of the coalition. “But your action this evening will help Federal Way tell a different kind of a story, a story that can be a model for the rest of King County, the state of Wash-

ington and even our nation.” The day shelter will provide a shower, hot meal, Internet access and mailing address to people who are homeless looking to make a better life for themselves. The 2,000-square-foot space near the Multi-Service Center will also be a resource for other services that help those in need. “We can tell a story about what can happen when members of various faith traditions, commu[ more SHELTER page 2]

Valley Cities puts brakes on disputed recovery center development BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

Valley Cities officials recently announced they will slow down on the development of the Woodmont Recovery Center after receiving backlash from legislators and the community in August. “Our state elected officials and the county said, ‘OK, let’s be sure this is the very best site that’s available,’” said Valley Cities CEO Ken Taylor. “They said, ‘Let’s look at other potential sites in the county’ and we said, ‘Yeah, OK we can do that with you.’ We’re cooperating.” The evaluation and treatment center would serve the mentally ill and those addicted to drugs or alcohol through inpatient psychiatric treatment. It was scheduled to break ground this fall with completion in late spring 2016, but Taylor requested the city put the project on hold until Dec. 31. “I’m pleased that Valley Cities is responding to community concerns and working with local leaders to explore other locations for these much needed services,” said Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines, in a news release. “It’s important to include residents’ concerns in the discussion. I

have been, and will remain, fully engaged in this process.” Although five buildings are planned for the entire 8-acre campus, including a methadone dispensary, Valley Cities said they only have funds for the evaluation and treatment center, which will house 16 involuntary beds and eight voluntary beds. The center’s proposed location sits at the Pacific Highway and South 272nd Street intersection in the Des Moines neighborhood, Woodmont. And it’s less than 1,000 feet from Woodmont K-8, a school in the Federal Way school district — the biggest point of contention. “I’m so cautiously optimistic,” said Kelly Carlile, a Federal Way resident whose children attend Woodmont K-8. “My emotions were so raw in August, I’m afraid to feel relieved at all.” About 20-25 percent of Woodmont’s students live in Federal Way due to school boundaries. Carlile said she’s optimistic because of legislator support but, as a parent, she is cautious because she didn’t find out about the project until right before it was supposed to break ground. “I support the services but my job as a parent is to limit my kids exposure to that,” she said, adding that she’ll have to prepare her children to leave the school if [ more RECOVERY page 10]

Apartment fire displaces 9 BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.co

outh King Fire and Rescue responded to an apartment fire located at Club Palisades Apartments on Wednesday. After returning home from an appointment, the residents were greeted with the sound of a fire alarm and smoke billowing out their front door. They grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and tried to extinguish the blaze, however, Capt. Jeff Bellinghausen said South King Fire and Rescue “highly” discourages this action. “Dry chemical fire extinguishers are designed to be used on a small fire that you can walk up to safely and use the extinguisher as protection as you are exiting the structure,” Bellinghausen said. “A fully-involved room fire that has been burning for an unknown amount of time should be left to the professional firefighters.” One resident was treated at the hospital for smoke inhalation injuries. A total of four extinguishers were discharged. The fire marshal determined that the cause of the fire was items stacked too close to a wall heater, Bellinghausen said. These items caught fire while no one was home. The fire spread through the room as smoke and heat clouded the apartment. The residents of the damaged unit, as well as occupants of the unit directly above them, were referred to Red Cross for shelter. This included six adults, three children and one dog. Bellinghausen said the apartment building is repairable and other nearby units were not affected.

[ SHELTER from page 1] nity organizations, human service providers, government institutions and elected leaders listen to each other, work together and make a difference in this world we share,” Kubal-Komoto added. The coalition is made up of community members from Sound Alliance, Catholic Community Services, MultiService Center, City Vision, Valley Cities, HealthPoint, King County Public Health, the Federal Way Community Caregiving Network and several churches. “The tireless efforts of the day shelter coalition and our faith-based community to locate day shelter services in our community is remarkable, greatly appreciated and is directed to those most in need in our community,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell. “The city is pleased to support this effort as the real work begins to bring these services to fruition.” The day shelter will be a three-year pilot project that could lead to a permanent day shelter in Federal Way and act as a model for the rest of South King County based on

During the event, Lion’s Club to classrooms $50 member Dick Mayer said, “We know that teachers spend approximately $1,000

out of their own pocket to help some students get equipment and supplies during the school year. At Wal-Mart, we are dedicated to supporting our nations teachers by providing support and resources needed to continue educating the future leaders of our community.” Contributed photo

the information they collect. “I’m sure a lot of you know this issue is dear to my heart,” said an emotional Councilwoman Lydia Assefa-Dawson at the council meeting. “… You did mention dignity and I know homelessness is very very hard when you have no place to stay and no place to shower. It’s hard to keep that dignity so it’s very important that we try to support people just so they have that.” Having been homeless for a brief time herself, AssefaDawson said there are stories after stories of why people are homeless and that it’s important not to judge. “This is what makes Federal Way so impressive and special to me, is people caring for other people,” Councilwoman Susan Honda said. Every other council member had positive feedback for the coalition, including Councilman Martin Moore who announced he was “fired up” and enthused to vote for the project funding. But the coalition isn’t done yet. The day shelter still needs about $55,000 to retrofit the

building. With the goal of raising $30,000 of that, the coalition launched a non-event fundraiser called “Bags of Hope.” Retrofitting will include a new bathroom with an additional shower, a laundry facility, kitchen and open-floor concept for Catholic Community Services to monitor. The coalition has also been filling out grant applications for $100,000 in state planning funds but doesn’t expect it to be available until next year. The annual One Night Count estimates Federal Way’s homeless population to hover around 105 people but with approximately 40 in other shelters and 40-50 more estimated by the Church of the Good Shepherd, that brings the total closer to 200 people in need of a laundry facility, shower, hot meal and resources this day shelter will provide.

FORMER EAGLE LEADS COMEBACK WIN FOR WWU

Gabriela Pelogi, who was a senior at Federal Way High School last year, helped lead the second-ranked Western Washington University soccer team to a comeback victory over Saint Martin’s University on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Trailing 2-0 at the half, Pelogi scored a pair of goals in the second half to tie the game at 2-2. Her teammate, Catherine Miles, scored the game winner in the 80th minute. Pelogi has six goals this season, tied for second most on the team, despite starting in only three games. The Vikings are 14-1-0.

Federal Way and Thomas Jefferson split points in draw BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

s the soccer season winds down, both Thomas Jefferson and Federal Way are still in contention for a playoff spot. On Saturday, the two teams played to a 2-2 draw in a pivotal game. The Raiders knew going into the match that they would be looking up at the Eagles in the standings regardless of the outcome. They also knew that a loss would leave their playoff hopes in the hands of the South Puget Sound League Northeast’s final standings. For Federal Way, they were hoping to clinch a playoff spot and not have to worry about how they fared in the crossover matches that took place over the last few weeks. A win would guarantee them at least the fourth seed from the SPSL North’s two divisions and would also give them a small chance at overtaking Todd Beamer for the division

crown. The Raiders got off to a quick start with Makaylie Moore scoring within the first 10 minutes of the game. It was her 13th goal of the season. The rest of the first half was filled with back-andforth play for both sides. Federal Way’s goalkeeper, Piper Hutchinson, had one of the best saves of the day on a free kick. With Moore’s shot looking like it would find its way just underneath the crossbar, Hutchinson stretched out just enough to tip it over the top of the net. The teams looked even, though it was Jefferson that took a 1-0 lead into the half. The second half scoring chances happened quickly for both teams as they stayed aggressive. Federal Way struck first in the half. Julian Johnson took the ball just inside the left corner of the box before launching a shot at the goal. It beat Jefferson’s keeper, Samantha Simundson, to tie the game in the 47th minute.

Minutes later, Federal Way had another scoring chance when Cayla Wells got past defenders and a one-on-one opportunity with Simundson. Simundson read the shot perfectly and deflected it just outside the net. Just eight minutes after Federal Way tied the game, Jefferson answered back. Jasmine Pleasants found Kiersten Madsen in the crowd on a corner. Madsen headed the ball high into the net and past Hutchinson for the Raiders second goal and the lead. Another defensive breakdown gave Federal Way another one-on-one opportunity in the 71st minute. Team captain Hannah Kimura put on a few moves before sinking the ball into the back of the net from close range. The 2-2 tie held until the end. Jefferson’s playoff chances took another hit on Tuesday when they lost to Todd Beamer 1-0. They now have

TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror to hope that Kentlake can claim the third seed in the South Puget Sound League Northeast. They defeated the Falcons 1-0 on Oct. 9 and therefore hold the tiebreaker for the fifth seed. Currently, the Falcons trail Kentwood by four points with two games left,

including one against the Conquerors. Kentwood has only Kentlake remaining on their schedule. Jefferson will face Decatur in their final regular season game at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Federal Way clinched a

West Central District Three playoff spot with the Jefferson loss. They tied with Mount Rainier on Tuesday. Their final game is against Todd Beamer at 3:30 p.m. today at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. The West Central District playoffs will begin on Nov. 3.

Volleyball: Beamer falls to SPSL North leading Mount Rainier BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

odd Beamer and Mount Rainier were both sitting near the top of the South Puget Sound League North’s standing when they faced off on Tuesday. It was the Rams who went home victorious as they won 3-2. Comebacks were the theme of the night. The first set saw Beamer fall behind 19-23. Beamer head coach Pat Taitano called a timeout to try to refocus his team and the call paid off. The Titans stormed back with the next six points, taking the set 25-23. Beamer once again fell behind in the second set. They trailed by five points midway through the set and once again made a run, but the Rams were able to hold them off as they took the set 25-22. It was Mount Rainier’s turn to make a comeback in the third set. Beamer led for much of the set, building a 23-20 lead. They failed to capitalize and Mount Rainier took the final five points in the set to win it 25-23 and take a 2-1 lead. The fourth set was

the most back and forth set of the night. Neither team was able to establish dominance until the very end. With both teams tied at 24, Beamer took the next two points for the 26-24 win. Mount Rainier jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the final set. Once again, the Titans went on a tear, scoring seven of the next eight points. Despite the scoring run, Mount Rainier pulled off the final comeback of the night as they took a 9-8 lead and never looked back. They took the final set 15-12. “Our team showed a lot of resilience,” Taitano said. “We fought all the way through. We fell short in the end and we had a lot of mistakes, but I felt good that we were competitive. We had a chance to win that game.” Mount Rainier’s Megan Houston had a game-high of 27 kills in the match. She also had three blocks. Alex Wilhite led the Rams in digs with 24 and also added 2 service aces. Ally Hardy had a game-high five service aces and also added 17 kills. Todd Beamer’s Renee Tiumalu had a game-high

25 digs. Camryn Skari led the team in kills with 13 and also had 18 digs. Jordan Willingham had 10 kills and 14 digs. The loss was the third straight for the Titans as they fell 3-1 to both Tahoma and Kentwood a week prior. They are now 8-4 overall and are 4-3 in conference play. They currently sit in fifth place in the league standings. “I’m still hoping for us to continue to improve,” Taitano said. “We’ve come a long way. I think this team has shown that we’re a good team, a team that people have to take seriSpanaway Lake High School

ously. But I think there’s lots of room for us to grow and be better. We have to be better with our ball control. But I think we’ll be fine.” Mount Rainier improved to 8-5 overall and 6-1 in conference play. The win kept them from falling in consecutive games. They are currently the top seed in the league for the South Puget Sound League tournament. Beamer faced Kentlake (2-8, 2-4) on Thursday after the Mirror’s publishing deadline.

Vote yes for fire, marijuana measures

he Mirror’s editorial board endorses the following measures in the 2015 general election:

YES: SOUTH KING FIRE PROP. 1

South King Fire and Rescue is asking voters for a $39 million capital bond measure that will replace critical fire vehicles that are aging. It’s one of several reasons that the bond merits a yes vote during the general election. The $39 million capital bond measure asks taxpayers owning a $250,000 home to pay on average of $40 in property taxes per year or $3.33 per month. Equipment and fire apparatus that were paid for with the 1992 capital bond, including fuel storage tanks, are coming to the end of their life and need to be replaced. The district also needs to upgrade equipment, including lifesaving and cardiac response equipment and firefighter safety and breathing equipment. In addition, the fire district needs new aid cars, engines, earthquake upgrades to its fire stations, as well as renovations to eight fire stations. Passage of the bond will help the fire district prepare for the future and serve residents with the best service and equipment possible. It will help the district maintain its fast response and the measure will invest in the safety of our community. But this endorsement comes with conditions. The fire district cannot ignore the vocal opposition to this bond measure we the community have heard during the campaign. The fact that the previous $53.7 million capital bond measure failed last April points to a leadership issue with the fire district. We urge South King Fire and Rescue to use the funds from this bond measure to the best of their ability and take a deep look at their leadership if district officials hope to pass a [ more EDITORIAL page 12 ]

Thank you city for helping feed hungry We would like to thank the city of Federal Way for another amazing Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hungry. The drive this year netted 8,522 pounds of food and $670 in cash donations. A special shout-out to Jeri-Lynn, who did a fantastic job of organization. All the businesses involved were welcoming and helpful. The volunteers collecting at each site were awesome. Laura Moser and the team from Waste Management were a pleasure to work with. We look forward to them coming to the food bank and dropping off daily collections. It’s great to have such terrific partners in the Multi-Service Center’s efforts to feed the lowincome residents of our

What’s riding on the Gregory-Hickel race outcome The marquee race this election season, both locally and statewide, is the battle to fill the remaining year on Roger Freeman’s term in the state House of Representatives. Freeman passed away and Democrat Carol Gregory was appointed to his position. Gregory is currently on the Federal Way school board, has worked in Olympia for Gov. Booth Gardner, handled education issues for former King County Executive Ron Sims and was a teacher. Gregory is being challenged by Teri Hickel who recently retired after 15 years as executive director of Advancing Leadership, and worked with Communities in Schools prior to that. Hickel filled in as acting Chamber of Commerce CEO after the previous CEO took the Tacoma Chamber job. Hickel has been active as a volunteer in school levy issues for many years.

Republicans control the state Senate, while Democrats, with Jay Inslee, hold the Governor’s Office. Democrats hold a slim 51-47 lead in the House of Representatives. A Gregory win helps Democrats maintain a legislative balance going into the 2016 session. A Hickel win puts that balance in question as Democrats have a couple of conservative representatives who could side with Republicans on some policy questions. That means every politician, lobbyist and special interest group in the state has money and endorsements riding on the outcome of the Gregory-Hickel race. In the fall of 2016, the full House, half the Senate and all statewide offices including governor are up for election. The January session could be a critical opportunity for either party to advance their goals. Because of the significant stakes involved, Bob Roegner

Life’s greatest treasure “I love these little people, and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us,” Charles Dickens.

Think of it — mankind is entrusted with one of God’s very own creations, a little baby, lying so contentedly in its mother’s womb, completely trusting her to protect him or her. Instead, more and more frequently, in our world the mother makes a choice to end this innocent life. We can no longer deny that this is a human being, a life, a baby, a child, possessing all that is internally required to grow and develop into a mature adult. Abortion destroys human life. Simply stated, before abortion there is life. After abortion there is death. In the earliest days of America, Thomas Jefferson made this point: “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.”

So, what has happened to us since then? We began to listen to the “Language of Illusion,” or, in other words, the abortion slogans such as: “Every Child a Wanted Child.” This sounds loving, doesn’t it? Yet, at the heart of it is a self-centeredness that makes the value of children dependent on the emotions and feelings of others. This reduces children to objects who have a right to exist only if someone “wants” them more than other “things.” This makes the aborted child a victim of those who would try to solve social, economic or personal problems by sacrificing children. The measure of our humanity is not that there are no unwanted among us. The question is shall we care for them or kill them? Let us look at the slogan of “Every woman has a

right to control her body.” This sounds sensible, doesn’t it? Not when it is used to defend abortion, because common sense and modern science both recognize that in pregnancy there are two bodies and two lives. Woman, by definition, means; “female human being.” Since sex is determined at conception, and over half of those aborted are “female human beings,” then obviously, not every woman has the right to control her own body. Rights of individuals, because of the interrelation of life, are limited when they infringe on the rights of others. Apart from abortion, when else may a woman, in lifestyle or personal interest, have the legal right to kill an innocent, defenseless human being? When it comes to control, abortion seeks to replace self-control (before [ more LETTERS page 14 ]

Residents split on marijuana retail in Federal Way

takes it out of the hands of gangs and drug cartels. And I would like my friends and family who prefer weed to wine on a Friday night to be able to shop for their preferred product in a safe and regulated environment.” Another participant said, “I’m sick of Draconian drug laws that imprison racial minorities, promote black market activity and steal taxable income from our society that could be put to good use.” Another 47 participants, or 47 percent, said they voted against I-502. The majority of those respondents cited that legalizing marijuana encourages usage amongst youth and sends a negative message that pot smoking is OK. “Children would have even easier access. Children would get into their parents’ stashes. Children would accidentally ingest edibles,” one person noted. The survey also asked residents if they would support marijuana-related business in Federal Way. Participants’ answers were split down the middle, with 50 percent saying “yes” and 50 percent “no.” Those on both sides of the debate cited similar

reasons for supporting marijuana retail shops as they did for supporting I-502. The top two reasons why survey participants do not support marijuana retail in Federal Way are that they believe the shops would be detrimental to youth and create a negative image for the city. “It introduces the message that we support drugs in our community and sets a bad example to our youth and requires another level of law enforcement, which is not worth the costs,” one person wrote. Another said, “Marijuana-related businesses have a very negative image and clientele. They are magnets for crime. Federal Way needs to polish its image not attract any negative elements.” The top two reasons why survey respondents want marijuana retail in Federal Way are that they would bring new revenue to the city and would be convenient as they could stay in town to shop for marijuana. “I use marijuana for my rheumatoid arthritis,” noted one respondent. “I want to be able to buy locally! Sometimes it’s hard to get

Q: Mr. Federal Way, we both know there was a music teacher who was fired by the Federal Way school district. I want to know why his case was plea bargained down to fourth-degree assault and that he has been charged twice and he still doesn’t have to register. How does that happen? Now, I have seen he is advertising to do private music lessons. So how long before there is another victim and then the courts will be liable because they didn’t protect the community from this threat?

A: Let’s layout the facts: The music teacher you are referring to was charged in May 2007 with communicating with a minor for immoral purposes after police recommended he be charged with firstdegree child molestation. This was because said music teacher, who taught at Twin Lakes Elementary and cannot be named because he wasn’t charged with that

crime, allegedly touched and squeezed the bum of an 11-year-old student. She alleged he kept his hand under her as she sat and left it there until she finished a song she was playing. The girl’s mother found out after reading the girl’s diary, which mentioned she was scared of the teacher, she was afraid of being transferred to another school and worried no one would believe her. After the then-52-year-

ome say keep marijuana businesses out of Federal Way to avoid creating a negative image for the city. Others say pot retail would generate more tax revenue for the city. Marijuana retail resulted in a dead heat between those who support the retail in Federal Way and residents who want to keep the shops out of the city, according to the Mirror’s recent Federal Way Forum survey that asked residents about the issue. The survey generated 110 responses, although some participants didn’t complete all answers. We asked the community how they voted on Initiative 502, a statewide measure voters approved in November 2012, which legalizes the possession of marijuana for adults age 21 and older. Fifty-four respondents, or 53 percent, said they voted in favor of the measure. The majority of survey participants cited new taxes and marijuana regulation as reasons why they voted for the measure. “Prohibition rarely solves problems and often creates more,” one person wrote. “Marijuana has negative side effects, but no more than many other legal substances.

out and go to another town to make my purchase. Plus, let’s keep our tax dollars in Federal Way!” The survey also asked if participants would shop at a marijuana business in Federal Way. Sixty-four percent said “no,” while only 36 percent said yes. Seventy-one survey entrants, or 72 percent, said they do not currently shop at marijuana businesses, while 28 people, or 28 percent, said they currently shop at pot shops. Of those who shop at marijuana businesses, eight respondents said they shop at marijuana shops in Tacoma, seven shop in Seattle, six in Des Moines, three in Auburn and two in Renton and Kent. Four respondents also mentioned Prosser, Covington, Bellevue, Alaska and Oregon. Regarding frequency, five respondents said they shop at marijuana businesses bi-monthly, four said weekly, two monthly, two a few times a month, one answered every four months and another said twice a year. Residents also sounded off on other concerns about marijuana retail in Federal Way. Those opposed to marijuana retail in the city predominantly cited crime,

a negative image and the impact to youth. “Federal Way will turn into the next Spanaway, which is the armpit of Washington,” one person wrote. “Federal Way has a bad enough reputation already and if the City Council really wants to attract better businesses and visitors by building the Performing Arts and Event Center, allowing marijuana retail is ridiculous.” Another wrote: “The youth will think it’s not harmful and they will get it. Destroys still forming brain and nervous system leading to apathy, sloth and inability to make executive decisions, which will have a huge negative impact on their success in the future.” Others who want pot retail here disagreed. “I think that the legal sale of marijuana products to adults would eliminate most of the illegal sales to minors, which occur far too frequently in Federal Way as matters now stand,” one pot shop supporter wrote. Another wrote: “Marijuana is already in our community. If kids want it, they can get it. A licensed marijuana dispensary may drive out some of the competition, i.e. drug dealers. It’s possible that illegal drug activity may actually go

old was fired from the school district because of the charges and for lying about marrying a former student at a former high school he worked at, he pleaded guilty to fourthdegree assault. So, why were

the charges dropped down to fourth-degree assault, you ask? Mr. Federal Way wondered the same thing. According to King County Prosecutors Office spokesman Dan Donohoe, “prosecutors assessed there were

down.” Many who support marijuana retail in Federal Way said their biggest concern was that the City Council could vote to keep the businesses out of the city, despite the passage of I-502. “I hate the fact that local government is banning a voter-approved statewide initiative. The intent of the voters is obvious, local politicians should follow the will of the people.” Many also offered caveats should the council approve of marijuana retail, including: • It needs to be in a nice location and have high standards with good prices. • The taxes could go towards helping the schools. • The Federal Way police should be allowed to issue strict enforcement of anyone caught smoking or using in public. There should be a tip hotline to inform police of such activity. Police should reap 35 percent of the tax profit from legal marijuana stores to help support strict age enforcement. Any store caught selling to minors should be immediately shut down, with a permanent ban on said perpetrators. • The city should ensure any dispensaries are not unsightly. An advisory vote on the general election ballot also asks voters whether the city should allow marijuana-related businesses in Federal Way. some risks in proceeding to trial” for that charge. “Our goal was to hold the defendant accountable for his conduct and felt that a guilty plea would achieve [ more MR.

You may have noticed that your mailbox is full of campaign literature, and some of it isn’t nice. In fact, it has gotten downright nasty and inaccurate from both sides of special interest supporters. Third party groups that typically support either Democratic or Republican candidates have spent a combined $375,000 opposing each others’ candidates and $325,000 supporting the candidate of their choice. Gregory and Hickel have both raised $250,000 and spent $200,000. With final reporting still several weeks away, the race will easily pass the $1 million threshold. The two candidates participated in the Mirror debate last week and the Chamber of Commerce debate the week before. The debates gave a good picture of where similarities and differences were evident with the two candidates.

a politician, but a volunteer.” Gregory countered that, “I have actually worked on education issues. I have the experience.” On the issue of paid sick leave, Gregory said she supported it, while Hickel proffered flexible options. In response to a question from the audience asking whether Gregory serving as both a legislator and a school board member was a conflict of interest, Hickel said yes, suggesting that information gained as a board member could be used for partisan purposes. Gregory responded that it was not a conflict, and she felt it was crucial she stay on the school board while holding the legislative seat to ensure a smooth transition to new Superintendent Tammy Campbell after the chaos of the Rob Neu years. She emphasized that she was able to clean up a lot of leftover problems as chair of the board. Both candidates were

the Supreme Court’s ruling against charter schools. Gregory said she agreed with the court and wanted money to go to public schools. Hickel disagreed with the court and said people should have options. Both said they liked Federal Way’s approach with public schools and academies. Gregory said she believed we need more money to reduce class size. Hickel said she did not support more money for smaller class room size. On the topic of money for schools, Hickel said, “We pay too much,” and she supports a levy swap. Gregory says there is not enough money and more is needed. Gregory has also said the levy swap is complicated and would not fully solve the problem anyway. When asked about the state’s regressive tax system, Hickel says she is opposed to taxes but would have voted for the transportation package gas tax because she sees

Gregory said she was not supporting an income tax. Gregory did say she might support a capital gains tax as a way to raise additional revenue. A citizen asked if the candidates had received any money from the National Rifle Association and what would they do about stopping all the shootings? Neither candidate had received any donations from the association. Hickel responded, “Enforce current rules and support mentally ill.” Gregory said we need to find a way of keeping guns out of the hands of mentally ill people and expand support for the mentally ill. But there are issues of agreement. Both candidates are pro-choice and favor equal pay for equal work for women. Whether you are the

October 23, 2015 [9] challenger or incumbent in a political race, each has advantages and disadvantages. As the challenger, Hickel does not have a public record to defend and can run on all her community work over the years. Her views tend to follow typical Republican positions, but she does break from her party on abortion and equal pay. Also, she was not forced to be in Olympia for several months, as Gregory was, and was able to get a significant head start on her campaign. She is smooth in public and her volunteer experience shows. She has had to go through a crash course in state public policy and if elected will need to refine her positions. Gregory has worked on public policy most of her adult life and her knowledge and experience are obvious, particularly in education. Her views generally coincide with Democratic positions but she did break from her party on some of the tax questions last session. But in a demonstration of the advantages of the incumbency, Gregory announced at the Mirror debate that she was working with legislative leaders to find an alternative location for the treatment center proposed to be opened near Woodmont Elementary School. While not a big issue to the majority of the district, her announcement served several purposes. It is a reminder that her party is in power and she has the ear of the Speaker of the House in helping her with an important issue in her district. But it also provides defense and blunts any attack from her opponents about not doing anything. Hickel is a good candidate and Gregory was wise to make her point on the Woodmont issue. It may have headed off another third party mailer. Hickel led out of the primary, but Gregory has made up ground. This is a toss-up that may be decid-

ed by voter turnout. Big turnout favors Gregory, smaller favors Hickel. Projections are for a small turnout. In county races, incumbent Assessor Lloyd Hara is being challenged by his former Chief Deputy John Wilson. It is a nonpartisan position but both men are Democrats. There is a slight advantage to Hara as the incumbent. In the race for elections director, current Deputy Director Julie Wise held a big lead over state Rep. Zach Hudgins coming out of the primary. Wise still has the advantage. She has worked in the department for several years and knows how to run an election. Her weakness is knowing how to handle the politics of the state and King County. Hudgins doesn’t know how to run an election but his advantage would be his knowledge of Olympia. Advantage is still with Wise. In city politics, there will be an advisory vote on whether to allow retail marijuana shops in the city. The public legalized marijuana but the City Council has used its landuse authority to keep a moratorium in place. Although the council agreed to abide by the public vote, some of the council may be rethinking that commitment. The “no” campaign has been more visible than the “yes” campaign. Low turnout favors the “no” supporters. The county also has a charter amendment on the ballot that would strengthen the civilian oversight of the sheriff ’s office. With all of the publicity surrounding several police “use of force” actions nationally, it may gather some strength, though it has not been a big issue in the suburbs. If you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the result!

“I’m very pleased that a greater effort is going to be made to site the recover center in a different location,” said Rep. Carol Gregory, D-Federal Way. “I think it’s a critical service to South King County but so close to that school is not a good location.” Rep. Linda Kochmar, RFederal Way, is also pleased they’re looking at a different location for services, in particular the methadone dispensary and the “lockdown” clinic. “Anything I can do to help the residents, I’m going to do that,” she said. Jim Vollendroff, the mental health and substance abuse director for King County, said officials have identified a number of alternative locations for the center but was unable to disclose where those are. “As we get closer to having some more definitive sites, we’ll have a series of community conversations,” Vollendroff said, noting the first one is expected in midNovember. “We plan to talk about the needs and present the data.” He said there are essentially three options: Find an alternative site for the entire project, keep the plan as-is and stay in Woodmont or adjust what services will stay at Woodmont and either cut them or find a new location. “We started this because we wanted to build an evaluation and treatment center because there’s a crisis in this county that hardly anybody seems to be speaking about,” Taylor said, referring to the lack of inpatient beds for psychiatric patients. More than 3,000 patients, who were involuntarily committed the first half of this year, were turned away from emergency rooms with no place to go because of this shortage. Last year, Valley Cities served 7,500 people needing mental

health counseling or chemical dependency treatment in King County. Other services include domestic violence services, homeless outreach and housing programs, family support and specialized services for veterans and families. Putting the center in South King County is especially important because there are currently 500 people who travel from the area to Seattle to get treatment every day. Valley Cities applied for the project’s Conditional Use Permit on Dec. 2, 2014 in the city of Des Moines. On Feb. 2, the city issued eight mitigation measures under their determination of non-significance under State Environmental Policy Act review. Based on several comments and letters that were received from the community, the city extended the deadline to appeal that decision from Feb. 27 to March 16, however, no one appealed. The permit hearing before the hearing examiner was April 3, which many citizens attended and testified. The examiner issued a findings of fact and conclusions of law with project approval on April 15. Instead of the eight mitigation measures, the project would now have 11. But no one asked the examiner to reconsider the decision and the deadline passed on April 26. The appeal deadline passed on May 6 but neighbors were still upset, so the city held informational meetings on Aug. 18 and Sept. 16. A legal analysis by city of Des Moines attorneys indicate the conditional use permit “processes were proper and timely,” the project was accurately described and there is “no legally justifiable basis for a moratorium involving this project or property.”

Question: My 86 year old mother was changing her bed sheets, tripped on the throw rug and had a fall. She couldn’t get up on her own as she had broken her hip. I happened to come by 3 hours later to find her on the floor. She is now in rehabilitation and coming home in a few weeks. How can I ensure she’s safe alone in her own home? Answer: Safety is a primary concern for seniors living alone and their concerned families. Preventing another fall is critical to her maintaining her independence as long as possible. Having a caregiver in her home with her for a few weeks following discharge to help her and observe her care needs will ensure her safety.

Flu vaccines now available for all ages FROM STAFF REPORTS

Fall brings crisp mornings, colorful leaves, pumpkins on porches and an unwelcome visitor: flu. Thankfully, the flu vaccine has also arrived and is now widely available for everyone in the family for protection throughout the season. “We’re seeing some flu cases in Washington,” said Washington Department of Health officer Dr. Kathy Lofy. “Getting a flu shot every year is the best way to protect yourself and your family from this very serious illness. Medical providers and pharmacies in Washington have flu

that and facilitate getting the defendant to participate in sexual deviance [treatment],” he said. Although he was alleged to have had inappropriate behavior with students at a previous school (the one where his former student he married attended), those allegations were never substantiated and he was never charged. And because the law is that you only register as a sex offender if you’re convicted, not charged with a sex offense, Mr. Music Man has been able to live life without the big red “S.O.” over his head. But still, wouldn’t assault against a child be enough to keep the man away from children? After all, he did

vaccines to protect you from this year’s flu strains. Anyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated.” Young children, pregnant women, people 65 years and older and those with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes are at a high risk for flu complications. Anyone can get flu, including healthy young people. Flu is a highly contagious and serious disease that can cause moderate to severe illness. Washington provides all recommended vaccines at no cost for kids from birth through age 18, and they’re available from health care providers across the state. For help finding a health care provider or an immunization clinic, call the Family Health Hotline, 1-800-322-2588.

write this in his fourth-degree assault guilty plea statement: “On April 16, 2007 in King County Washington with intent to create in [the victim] apprehension and fear of bodily injury, I did an act which created in [the victim] reasonable apprehension and imminent fear of bodily injury.” His sentence was a mere 30 days of community service hours, no jail time (it was suspended) and two years of probation. He couldn’t have contact with the girl, isn’t allowed to have contact with minors if he isn’t accompanied by an adult who knows the conviction (but his own children are OK) and he had to undergo a sexual deviancy evaluation from

a state-provided treatment center. Oh, and some thousand dollars in restitution. What was interesting is that during this sexual deviancy treatment for that case, he admitted in a polygraph to touching a relative’s genitals several years ago when she was 6 years old. However, prosecutors threw out the case because the court granted the man’s motion to suppress the victim’s trial testimony. Court documents indicate the request was granted because when the suspect was first charged, the victim’s mother asked her children if he had inappropriately touched them, which they replied “no.” And after advice from a counselor, the suspect called the victim and asked

YES: FEDERAL WAY ADVISORY PROP. 1

The Federal Way City Council has passed three temporary marijuana business bans since voters approved statewide Initiative 502 in November 2012. Now, the city is asking voters whether the council should allow marijuanarelated businesses in Federal Way.

The defense claimed the state “has not produced evidence that it would have inevitably discovered [the victim] regardless of [the suspect’s] described disclosures,” the documents state.

Marie Elaine Adair Marie Elaine Adair left this world Thursday, October1st, 2015. Born to Leo Sowinski and Elena Sabinsky in 1942, Marie is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Foster (Mark), and grandsons, Matthew and John Foster. Marie died at the age of 73 in her home of 46 years. Marie was a very colorful woman with a great passion for politics and policy, championing various candidates and causes over the years. Marie’s keen sense of right and wrong were not her only passions however. Because of her great heart for animals, her home became a loving refuge to many a cat and dog. Marie’s generosity was also extended to various friends, family, and foreign exchange students whom she welcomed into her household over the years. Besides these attributes, Marie will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends for her great strength of mind and character, her sharp intelligence and sensibility, her indomitable spirit, her humor, and her kind and generous heart. Marie’s acute sense of duty and service to her country and fellow man marked her life with a great many labors and accomplishments. She is now at rest from her life’s toils and labors. May Marie now enjoy the peace and joy of heaven’s welcome, and continue to abide in the hearts and minds of those of us who love her and will miss her.

Per state law, the city is allowed up to four marijuana retail shops — businesses that would contribute to muchneeded tax revenue for the city. We urge the City Council to consider appropriating a portion of those revenues toward law enforcement and policing in and around the marijuana businesses, and using some of the remaining funds for education to keep marijuana out of the hands of our youth for which I-502 was not intended.

musical instrument lessons for strings, woodwinds and more. He also offers web designing services.” When Mr. Federal Way clicks on Mr. Music Man’s offering, it simply takes the viewer to a web page offering his web design, logos, graphics and business skills. Looks to Mr. Federal Way that Mr. Music realized he probably shouldn’t be advertising music lessons online. Hopefully not to children. Mr. Federal Way thinks this man needs to stay away from any services. People don’t want them. What good did it do for his defense lawyers to work so hard at keeping his name off of the sex offender list? Shame on them and shame

on the prosecutors for allowing him to plead guilty to fourth-degree assault instead of the crime his victim claims he committed, which was sexual assault. Parents, if you want music lessons for your children, all Mr. Federal Way can advise is to read the Aug. 30, 2008 article titled “Ex-FW teacher accused of molesting child” and take note of his name when searching online. Q: Mr. Federal Way, did you cry when the Seahawks lost to the Panthers? A: None of your business.

[14] October 23, 2015 who oppose abortion do so [ LETTERS from page 6] conception), by demanding instead, the right to control the body of someone else. “Her own body” does not describe a pregnant body, since science shows that in pregnancy there are two different heartbeats, brainwave patterns, blood types and even two different sexes. Another slogan in the “Language of Illusion” is “No one should impose their religious morality on others.” Now this sounds democratic, right? But, while it is said that those

because of religious beliefs, the evidence says otherwise. History shows us that long-standing anti-abortion legislation was initiated by the medical establishment in an attempt to protect the unborn. Even Planned Parenthood once held the view that “An abortion ends the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health. It may make you sterile so that when you want a child you cannot have it.” Religion did not discover when life begins; biologists did. Reli-

www.federalwaymirror.com gion did not establish that at the moment of conception a unique and separate individual exists; geneticists did. Because some who oppose abortion do so on religious grounds does not make abortion a religious issue anymore than the opposition of religious people to driving after drinking makes drunk driving a religious issue. Thus, as we examine and begin to unravel the “Language of Illusion,” it will be difficult, if not impossible, to justify the taking of another human life for any reason. It will be

unfeasible for us to support an organization such as Planned Parenthood that not only destroys the live of the innocent, but then also turns around and dissects and sells the tiny human body and her or his parts for financial gain. There is absolutely no “good” that this entity can accomplish that could ever justify or undo the evil that is being carried out on its premises. Purporting that if we speak out against abortion, then we must be personally willing to adopt every child that is on its way to the “killing chambers” is

like saying that we must not report a neighbor who is abusing a child, unless we are willing to take that child in. Preposterous! And, speaking of adoption, there are many couples struggling with infertility in our country who would love to adopt a tiny baby. I know several couples personally. One couple (my cousin and her husband) would even love to adopt a handicapped child. In conclusion, no, I don’t find any courage at all in stating a pro-choice stance for any cause or motive. The courageous are those

who stand to defend the defenseless, and speak out for the rights of women, all women, even and especially the voiceless unborn, our tiniest ones. The brave are the ones who are willing to speak out for their right to life. “Today I invoke heaven and earth as witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live,” the Bible.

A plan to fix our education funding mess

As a former teacher and a current school board member, I couldn’t agree more that education should be our top priority. Our schools need to focus on the two most important elements in education: Teaching and learning. That is the core work of our schools. First - we need a great teacher in each and every class room. Secondly, for our students to learn we must focus on ensuring the learning environment supports today’s students. We need to support personalized learning, not standardized learning. During the last ﬁve years, we’ve had ﬁve different graduation requirements. That’s unacceptable. We spend too much time testing.

Our No-Nonsense Representative who gets results. Paid for by Friends of Carol Gregory, PO Box 3438 Federal Way, WA 98063

Third, Federal Way collects less funding per student compared to wealthier districts. Federal Way is a great place to live, work and learn but we do not have the financial assets of Bellevue or Mercer Island. That’s wrong. Our students deserve the same as any other student in this state. Fourth, Every teacher and parent knows, large class sizes are not optimal for learning. Voters have spoken and they want lower class sizes. Finally, the school funding and teacher compensation must be fully addressed by the legislature. As policies develop, I will fight to protect the middle class from increased taxes. We must level the playing field for working families and small business by ensuring big corporations and the super wealthy pay their fair share.

Part 2: Top 12 tips to stay sexually savvy during Seahawks season

Police department offers Halloween tips for safety FROM STAFF REPORTS

Halloween is a fun holiday for children, but for parents, trick or treat time can be a little scary. Concerns about children’s safety and the load of goodies

“no” with enthusiasm. If you hear a “no,” you need to listen and respect it. Furthermore, it’s a good idea to be educated about this off the playing field — know what consent means and what the policies are at work, school and other places you hang out.

come back from an injury — it takes so much extra time and work to get back to where you were! If you decide to engage in sexual behavior, be smart and know your risks. Know what types of behavior are most likely to transmit diseases and then, be responsible: either avoid those activities or use a condom.

6. PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION

7. ABSTINENCE

PROPER ATTIRE: Ensure that costumes fit properly, reflect light and are fire resistant. The costume should complement the current weather conditions. Avoid cumbersome masks. Do not carry fake swords, knives or guns that look authentic. Children should go out during daylight hours unless accompanied by a responsible adult.

Plan your route. Always trick or treat in groups with an adult. Take a flashlight. Stay on sidewalks, in lighted areas. Obey traffic signals, use crosswalks and do not jaywalk. Drive slowly all evening; be alert to creatures that may cross your path. FAMILIAR AREA: Visit familiar neighbors, avoid the unknown. Only visit well lit houses. Never

The Hawks may sport green and blue, but a savvy fan needs to know for sure when they’ve given or gotten a green or red light regarding touching. If you’re back to dating after a hiatus, it’s important to know that the old play books have been updated. Keep yourself from being ejected by being smart and asking for consent. Don’t assume someone has given it, and don’t assume your behavior clearly tells someone to back off. Use the words “yes” and

By following a few safety tips, you can ensure that Halloween will be a great time for all. There are four areas of concern for citizens to consider as Halloween approaches, according to the police department.

Amy Johnson

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY:

Speaking of prevention, using abstinence or contraception are a good idea for male and female couples who want to avoid pregnancy. Kids are great — they look really cute in

those Seahawks jerseys — and it generally works out better for both parents and children if the children are planned and wanted.

8. STAY HEALTHY.

Regular checkups should be a key part of your defensive strategy. Knowing you are healthy is important, and catching anything that could be a problem early is the next best thing. Remember, the most common symptom of a sexually transmitted infection is no symptom at all. Make sure you’re cleared for play before getting on the field. Next time: Special teams. enter a home of a stranger, or accept a ride from a stranger. If the area looks scary, stay away. Let your children know not to cut through alleys or fields. Stay in populated places.

TREAT INSPECTION:

Children need to know not to eat treats until they get home. An adult must inspect all candy in a welllit area. Discard any candy that has loose wrappings, unwrapped or punctured. Avoid homemade treats. Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the Federal Way Police Department by calling 911. Alternatives for trick or treating include to organize

She gave the keynote address with her parents at the World Down Syndrome Day conference at the United Nations in New York City in March. She entertained countless people as a threeyear varsity cheerleader during her high school years in Seattle. Most of us won’t do any of those in our lifetime, but 19-year-old Devon Adelman accomplished them all before beginning her first year at Highline College. And she did it all and more as a person with Down syndrome. Adelman said going to college is yet another way she can prove what differently abled people are capable of, if given the chance. “My greatest obstacle was other peoples’ doubts and I overcame it,” she said. Adelman was drawn to Highline for its marine biology program. With a passion for marine life, she has volunteered as a docent at the Seattle Aquarium, educating visitors about the ocean’s inhabitants. Another benefit of attending Highline is its strong ACHIEVE program, which is a comprehensive postsecondary transition program for students with intellectual disabilities.

The ACHIEVE program’s goal is to create an inclusive, postsecondary education experience for its students and to provide career preparation and internships based on a student’s interests and skills. “This is an amazing opportunity for our students and our community. Studies have shown that nationally only about 34 percent of people with intellectual disabilities are employed. Research also shows that paid work experiences while in school lead to better post-school employment outcomes for all students,” said Jennifer Sandler, who directs Highline’s ACHIEVE program. “This new funding will help us increase access to paid employment experiences for students with intellectual disabilities while in school, expanding the kind and quality of career opportunities available to them in the job market.” For students like Adelman, the additional funding will provide paid internship opportunities on and off campus. After she settles into the routine of college life, Adelman will most likely pursue an internship at Highline’s Marine Science and Technology Center, which has an aquarium of its own, just on a much smaller scale than the Seattle Aquarium. Adelman also spoke about her experiences on Wednesday as part of Highline’s celebration of Disability Awareness Month. to the district tournament. They are joined by the team of Bradley Hoefel and Charlie Wong, who advanced with the 11th and final seed. The postseason tournaments began with the South Puget Sound League Central tournament on Oct. 16. Area high schools sent 36 athletes to the tournament. Ten athletes from the area advanced to the South Puget Sound League tournament that took place on Oct. 24 and Oct. 26. Decatur’s TaeHyung Kim, Beamer’s Taesan Nguyen and Jefferson’s Kyle Mann also advanced to the district singles tournament. The other doubles team to advance to the district tournament was Matthew Arnold and Alex Argyle from Jefferson.

Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.” Americans are living longer. Home values are up. And for many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth. With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson. “You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Thompson. NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Thompson. FACT: In 1988 Pres- Although today’s HECM ident Reagan signed reverse mortgages have the FHA Reversebeen greatly improved Mortgage Bill. to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life. A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

U.S.A.’s No.1 Reverse Mortgage Company

*If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. Borrowers must also occupy home as primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan must be paid off when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or does not comply with the loan terms. Call 1-800-792-0309 to learn more. **Client image was changed to stock photography. A HECM Reverse Mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). American Advisors Group (AAG) works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.

Firm recommends upper midscale hotel in Town Center 3 BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

consulting firm the city hired recommends the development of a 93-unit hotel on the 7.5 acre former Target site the city purchased in November 2014. The recommendation from HVS Consulting and Valuation Services Division of TS Worldwide, LLC is based on findings from a $10,000 market study the city deployed over the summer in an effort to attract hoteliers and development partners to the site now called Town Center 3. “An adjacent hotel to the Performing Arts and Event Center was identified as an important complementary asset to the [event center], its operations and the redevelopment of our downtown,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell in an email. “The results of our commissioned hotel study confirms the viability of a hotel adjacent to the [event center]. We look forward to the further exploration of partnerships and development of a quality hotel adjacent to our signature [event center] facility now under construction in our downtown.” The construction of a hotel is part of the city’s vision for the development of a mixeduse project at Town Center 3. The city sent out a request for qualifications for a master developer to lead that project in February but didn’t receive any applications. Ferrell said in an August Mirror report that two developers were interested but didn’t apply because he believed it wasn’t the right timing, noting that the Performing Arts and Event Center’s bid hadn’t yet been awarded. The center has since broken ground as of

City urges residents to rake leaves FROM STAFF REPORTS

When it rains in the Puget Sound region, it pours, and with millions of leaves falling from the trees, the combination has the potential to cause localized street flooding. The city of Federal Way’s Surface Water Management division is urging residents to help Federal Way prevent flooding by keeping neighborhood storm drains clear of leaves and debris. Surface Water Management crews work throughout the year to remove leaf litter and debris from the city’s 12,000 catch basins. However, one wet and windy storm can quickly drop enough leaves to clog street drains all across the city. Adopting a catch basin in your neighborhood can help the city’s five Surface Water maintenance staff keep up with the winter storms. All it takes is periodically checking neighborhood storm drains and removing leaves and debris that accumulate on the grate. The material can

Wednesday. Located at 2141 S. 314th St., the firm estimates an upper mid-scale hotel with limited or select services will be profitable in downtown Federal Way. Services may include a breakfast dining area, 2,500 square feet of meeting space, indoor swimming and whirlpools, a fitness room, a business center, a market pantry, guest laundry and vending areas. The site was inspected by TS Worldwide, LLC Vice President Matthew Melville on July 23 and the study was prepared Aug. 12. The 2.15 acre hotel pad sits on the Town Center 3 property, however, that parcel will be subdivided to create a separate taxable parcel for hotel development, the study states. The firm’s findings project a hotel such as a “Holiday Inn Express and Suites or similar affiliation” would be a good fit. Because Federal Way is nestled between Seattle and Tacoma, hotel occupancy levels will be influenced by events in both cities. “In subsequent years, occupancy trends have remained positive, surpassing the 60 percent mark in 2014 for the first time in seven years,” the study states. “Data for the first half of 2015 reflect continued occupancy improvement for the market, prompting market operators to increase average rates substantially.” Ten hotels were analyzed for historical supply and demand trends. The firm anticipates it will take about three years to reach a “stablized level of operation” if the hotel opens in June 2017. This finding was based on projected occupancy of 74 percent and and average rates of $161 by 2019/20.

easily be disposed of in your yard waste container or compost bin. Homeowners can also reduce storm-related flooding by raking up leaf litter around the yard and off sidewalks and placing it in a compost pile or yard waste bin. Remember never to rake or blow leaves from your property into the street, city officials said. The city offers the following safety guidelines: • Clear your drain only if it is safe. • Clear only drains next to the curb. Clear from curbside, not out in the street. • Don’t clear drains that are in the middle of a street. • Be careful of standing water to avoid slipping or stepping on sharp objects. • If children are helping, make sure adults are supervising. • Don’t try to lift storm drain grates. • Let city crews handle garbage or any hazards inside the catch basin. If flooding is severe and/or you are unable to clear the storm drain, call Public Works at 253-835-2700 during business hours or at 800-4000749 after hours.

Apply for Steel Lake committee FROM STAFF REPORTS

The city is accepting applications for five seats on the 2016-2018 Steel Lake Lake Management District Advisory Committee. Committee membership is limited to those who own property or represent government bodies that own property in the district. Membership is based on the types of parcels around the lake and is comprised as follows: four seats for single family and vacant parcel property owners, one seat for multi-family parcels, one seat for city of Federal Way Parks Department, and one seat for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Federal Way City Council will conduct interviews and appoint four residents to serve two-year terms on the committee. For an application, contact the City Clerk’s office at 253-835-2540. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2016.

Part 3: Threat of riot, violence ends 1974 school strike BY CHRIS GREEN Special to the Mirror

“The community we represent has just been made the victim of legal extortion.” This was the verdict in a letter to the Federal Way News by two of the five members of the Federal Way school board — Richard Schoon and board president Rol Malan — regarding the settlement that ended the Federal Way teachers strike on Sept. 17, 1974. The two men claimed that the school board had been forced to agree to a “financially unsound” strike settlement to protect lives and property from an impending riot by members of the Federal Way Education Association. According to Schoon and Malan, about 400 of roughly 900 education association members had gathered at Steel Lake Park on the morning of Sept. 17. These members “appeared intent on violence” and to backup this claim, the board members cited a mediator from the federal government’s mediation and conciliation service, unidentified newspaper reports and unnamed board “intelligence sources.” Earlier that morning, education association members had engaged in civil disobedience at the school district bus yard on South 320th Street, using their bodies to prevent school buses from leaving the premises. They left apparently after receiving a judicial injunction to leave the premises. The association’s officially-announced plan was that after meeting at Steel Lake 280945_4.75_x_6 4/7/15to11:05 AMback Page 1 Park, members planned march

to the bus yard and resume their civil disobedience. Malan and Schoon implied that this planned march back to the bus yard — canceled after the strike settlement was reached — would actually have been the beginning of a riot. Thus hearing of imminent violence, the school board moved to reach a settlement, which included a “financially unsound” teacher salary raise of 8.5 percent. The first display of civil disobedience that morning had apparently been without violence and there is no conclusive evidence that Federal Way Education Association members planned a riot. However, a Seattle Times article quoted association president Patrick Dunham as stating that he had called the Steel Lake Park meeting in order to cool down tempers because “there had been some discussion of violence among teachers.” If true, it is not clear how many teachers, amongst the hundreds of association members, seriously intended to carry out a riot. A week after Schoon’s and Malan’s letter, Dunham dismissed claims by the two men. He argued that they based their claims of thuggish picket line acts by teachers — such as verbal harassment, vandalism of the cars of strike-breaking teachers and spitting — on an “overgeneralization of the few incidents we all know did occur.” He attacked Schoon and Malan as “paranoid and out of touch.” The association president insisted that that the strike settlement was not the result of extortion but a fair compromise between both sides.

Federal Way Education Association President Patrick Dunham addresses teachers on the last day of the 1974 strike when they were supposedly set to launch a riot. Courtesy of the Historical Society of Federal Way Meanwhile, board member Vera Fredrickson led a delegation of parents to a King County Council meeting to berate members for allegedly showing a blithe attitude about association violence. Fredrickson and the parents demanded that the council call a grand jury to investigate alleged teacher atrocities during the strike but were informed that the council had no authority to do so. Fredrickson also claimed that the King County Sheriff ’s Department was unprepared for the “massive violence” the

teachers allegedly threatened on the last day of the strike and pursued a “hands off ” policy toward illegal teacher activities on the picket line. In response, in his official report on the strike, King County Sherrif Laurence Waldt admitted that his deputies may have missed teachers’ illegal actions as they monitored picket lines. He protested that his department had been given no clear guidelines by political and judicial authorities as to how to handle picket line situations. He claimed [ more STRIKE, page 25 ]

identified newspaper reports and unnamed board “intelligence sources.” Earlier that morning, education association members had engaged in civil disobedience at the school district bus yard on South 320th Street, using their bodies to prevent school buses from leaving the premises. They left apparently after receiving a judicial injunction to leave the premises. The association’s officially-announced plan was that after meeting at Steel Lake Park, members planned to march back to the bus yard and resume their civil disobedience. Malan and Schoon implied that this planned march back to the bus yard — canceled after the strike settlement was reached — would actually have been the beginning of a riot. Thus hearing of imminent violence, the school board moved to reach a settlement, which included a “financially unsound” teacher salary raise of 8.5 percent. The first display of civil disobedience that morning had apparently been without violence and there is no conclusive evidence

point: At 11:14 p.m. on Oct. 16 at The Commons mall, a male called 911 to report that he had been robbed at gun point an hour prior. He and a female friend were in the Target parking lot when two males wearing ski masks approached them. One of the males brandished a silver pistol and demanded any “bling” the two had. The robbers stole the male’s watch, wallet and cell phone. They took his car keys and opened the trunk of his car and stole his backpack full of school supplies. They stole the female’s cell phone and $10 from her wallet. They then threw the car keys across the parking lot and told the friends not to pick them up until the robbers had left the scene. The male panicked and called police once he returned home. Man threatens wife in front of police: At midnight on Oct. 15 in the 1000 block of SW 339th St., police were called to a verbal domestic dispute.

Robber pepper-sprays male: At 9:12 p.m. on Oct. 15 in the 32000 block of 23rd Ave. S., a man responded to an ad on Offer-Up for an iPhone 6. The victim met the seller at Azteca.

During a search of the suspect, police found drug paraphernalia associated with heroin. Man’s ex assaults current girlfriend: At 10 p.m. on Oct. 14 in the 28600 block of 16th Ave. S., Federal Way police officers arrived to an apartment complex for a report of a physical assault that occurred. A female victim stated she had just arrived home from work and her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend assaulted her in the parking lot. Witnesses said the suspect had something taped over her license plate so they could not view it as she fled the scene. The suspect was known to the victim and officers found her information in their records. They attempted to contact the suspect at her address, but she was not

home. The suspect remains at large. Man found in bathroom with needle: At 5:34 p.m. on Oct. 13 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., police arrived at a business and found a man passed out in the bathroom with a tourniquet around his arm and a drug kit with a needle close by. It took several minutes for police to wake him up. South King Fire and Rescue arrived and confirmed heroin use. Firefighters told him he would need medical assistance but he refused and continued to fall asleep. Firefighters decided that he would not be able to care for himself, so he was transported to St. Francis for treatment. Argument leads to pillow violence: At 9:25 p.m. on Oct. 13 in the 31500 block of First Ave. S., a man reported that he was in an argument with his roommate over a set of keys.

Used condom found in mailbox: At 11:01 a.m. on Oct. 13 in the 30200 block of Seventh Ave. S., a person filed a report saying that they came home the previous day and found a used condom closed into the door of their mailbox. The condom had fluid in it that appeared to be bodily fluids. The condom was discarded into the trash. Clerk calls girlfriend to threaten customer: At 12:23 a.m. on Oct. 12 in the 31200 block of Pacific Highway S., a woman reported that she got into an argument with a clerk after he refused to give her a refund for a bag of chips. She said he then called his girlfriend who came to the store and began to threaten her. She waited 12 hours to call the police and stated that she would contact the manager of the business at a later date. She insisted on a police report being made. Building tagged again: At 2:37 p.m. on Oct. 12 in the 2100 block of S. 314th St., graffiti tags were found again on a building they were previously removed from. The tags “JAVEX,” “HWS,” “SKORE,” “CORAS,” and “KORAS” were spray painted on the building. Damages and clean-up were estimated at $500.
