Mayor reports crime down, business growth at State of the City BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
F
ederal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell assured a packed banquet room at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club on Wednesday that the state of the city is strong. His indicators? Progress in city-led development downtown, a
6 percent decrease in crime throughout Federal Way, increased revenue at community centers and new retail and office businesses. “In the last two years, we have moved Federal Way forward with vision and a deliberate sense of urgency,” Ferrell said. “The people of our community deserve no less.” In 2015, the city be-
gan Town Square Park’s $1.7 million redesign and construction crews broke ground on the city’s $32.7 million Performing Arts and Event Center. Ferrell said the city has secured two-thirds of the center’s construction funding, with $800,000 from the Federal Way Coalition for the Performing Arts fundraising campaign, and there’s work
underway to fill that gap. City officials also completed a Hotel Feasibility Study for a hotel to be located at the former Target site the city purchased for $8.2 million in November 2014. “The results were positive for Federal Way,” he said. “We are now entering a Request for Proposals [ more CITY, page 8 ]

Federal Way police recently arrested a man for violently raping a woman after he broke into her house Sunday morning. Although he has not been formally charged yet, the man could face first-degree rape, seconddegree assault, first-degree burglary and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle charges. According to probable cause documents, the woman fell asleep at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday at her Federal Way apartment. She awoke at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday to send a text message to a friend, but receiving no reply, she fell back asleep. Some unknown time later, the woman awoke again but this time it was because she was being strangled and beaten. “She felt tremendous pain to her face and was unable to breathe,” the documents state. As she grabbed the suspect’s hands, she realized he had gloves on. He squeezed her neck and she [ more RAPE, page 2 ]

N’Guy Hughes has been homeless multiple times in his life. At 41, he’s been forced to sleep in shelters during the holidays. He’s paid health and fitness club membership dues just so he could use the facilities’ showers, and he’s slept on county buses. “Whatever in life has come into your hand, you just have to deal with it and keep the faith that something is going to happen to you,” Hughes said. Hughes has housing now, but stories like his have increased dramatically in Federal Way within the last year. This year, volunteers with One Night Count – an annual, community-organized count of people sleeping on one winter night – tallied 263 people sleeping outside in Federal Way on Friday, Jan. 29 – a 150 percent rise from the 105 in 2015. The count doesn’t take into consideration the amount of people “couch surfing,” sleeping in overnight shelters or transitional housing. Countywide, volunteers counted 4,505 people outside, a 19 percent increase from last year. “The figures went up tremendously,” said Multi-Service Center Housing Director Manuela Ginnett. “In Federal Way, part of the problem, last year we had a low count because we weren’t able to get as many police [volunteers]. There was an incident that happened that night so they couldn’t spare the normal amount of police officers.” This year, officers supported the 60 Federal Way volunteers as they ventured a little bit deeper into the woods to count those sleeping on the ground or in tents. “They participate every year,” she said. “It’s a very helpful partnership. Not all communities have the police involved but [ more COUNT, page 3 ]

A
bank robber is on the loose after robbing a Federal Way Wells Fargo on Saturday. At about 6 p.m., the suspect walked into the bank, located at 914 S. 348th St., and went to the only teller working at the time. According to the police report, the suspect handed the teller a note that said, “This is a robbery, remain calm, lay out all your 20s, 50s and 100s.” The teller read the note
and looked back at the man, who replied that it was OK and to “just give him the money.” The teller laid out several bills and the suspect calmly walked toward the front door. Another bank employee saw the suspect but didn’t realize what had just happened. Because the employee was getting ready to close the bank, he followed the suspect to the door and told him to have a good day. The suspect replied, “You too.” The employee turned

lost consciousness. The woman awoke in a compromising position as the man attempted to rape her. As she begged him to stop, she saw that he had a grey scarf or bandana over his face and a black sweatshirt she recognized as belonging to someone she knew. When she called him by his name, he proceeded to rape her. After he was done, he sat on the floor of the woman’s bedroom questioning what he did and stating that he could have killed the victim, police documents state. The woman assured the suspect that
around and only then realized it was a robbery when he saw the teller upset. The suspect is described as a white man in his 40s or 50s, 6-feet tall and skinny. He was wearing a grey hoodie and a black or grey beanie. He also had a dirty, bloody bandage over his right eye.

it would be OK and he left. The woman then promptly called police, who found him in an apartment complex at about 3:40 a.m. Officers attempted to arrest him but the suspect got into his vehicle and fled before abandoning it near another apartment building and running away. Later that day, at about 1:30 p.m., police received a call from the suspect’s friend stating that the suspect was at his house. The Mirror will update this report as more information becomes available.

Dan McDougall-Treacy, a clinical services director at Valley Cities, said 26 percent of homeless people have mental health issues. “Good availability and good access to mental health services will help a lot of people maintain housing,” McDougallTreacy said. “We know that housing equates to health and helps a person maintain recovery.” An organizer for Au-
for about eight years, McDougall-Treacy said that in the wake of the shooting at a Seattle homeless camp called “The Jungle,” it’s important to realize that homeless people who have mental health issues are “10 times more likely” to be victims of violence or commit suicide. Only about 3-5 percent of violent crimes can be attributed to those with mental health problems.

they’re helpful here, very supportive.” Each year from 2012 to 2015, volunteers have counted anywhere from 77-118 homeless people in Federal Way. Multi-Service Center has helped organize the local count since 2007. From 2-5 a.m., volunteers were broken up into seven groups to search specific areas. They searched cars, looking for fogged up windows or sleeping bodies. They searched doorways, bushes and bus stops – all while keeping in mind they were “walking through people’s bedrooms.” Longtime One Night Count volunteer Doug Johnson said he participates in the count because it’s an important part of understanding the problem of homelessness in the community. This year, Johnson’s area included looking in parking lots along Pacific Highway. “Every year it’s a little bit different,” he said, adding that some nights it’s so cold people don’t have an opportunity to sleep because they have to move around “just to survive.” Luckily, this year’s count was dry and fairly mild.

Don’t publish gang names In the Jan. 29 police blotter there were a couple of posts that referenced gangs. The first involved the name of a gang being tagged on a fence. Instead of using the name of the gang, it could have been replaced with “[gang name withheld].” The second was a quote of a suspect who said “Crips for life.” Again, “[gang name withheld] for life” could have been substituted. Let’s avoid giving these poxes on society any more attention if at all possible. Naming them in publications simply provides positive reinforcement for negative behavior. We need to be discouraging this type of activity, not rewarding it.

People kill people, not guns
Keeping an eye on Olympia this session I was in Olympia last week talking with legislators, and what a week it was! There was a lot of politics, some policy and behavior you wouldn’t believe. The real issue continues to be each party trying to score points on the other and get out of town with no political baggage. At the beginning of the week halls were still buzzing from earlier events. As expected, the Republicans were doing their own investigation into the Department of Corrections earlyrelease computer problem. They want to try and tie Gov. Jay Inslee and Attorney General Bob Ferguson, both Democrats, to the issue over a document that seemed to minimize the urgency of fixing the problem. However, the document was authored in 2012, before either official even took office. Superintendent of Public Schools Randy Dorn had walked out on the Governor’s State of the State address; a King County Superior
Court Judge had struck down Tim Eyman’s latest initiative, I-1366, saying it was really a constitutional amendment in disguise; and State Rep. Mary Dye (R-Pomroy) had caused a stir when she asked a group of Planned Parenthood students visiting her about their virginity. Frequent visitors are used to odd behavior when the legislature is in town, but the comment caused even the old pros to raise their eyebrows. Dye apologized, but it was an embarrassment when other legislators were looking to score positive political points. But there was some cooperation with legislators working across the aisle to make it easier for women to obtain access to birth control at pharmacies. State Sens. Joe Fain (R-Auburn) and Steve Hobbs (D-Lake Stevens) have been working on legislation along with House members. With bipartisan support, passage seems [ more ROEGNER page 24 ] Bob Roegner

ederal Way is not a city I was supposed to like. I moved here via Phoenix a couple years ago, my wife and I having agreed to relocate with a widower friend whose son, my godson, we’d help with. The journalist in me had already researched Federal Way through data and phone calls to Washington locals, and it sounded like any other bedroom community in exurb-pining America. It looked sterile. Safe. Short on excitement and wanting for the culture of Seattle or Tacoma. We planned to move to a “real city” as soon as possible. Then, much to our collective surprise, “as soon as possible” came and went and we found ourselves still here. And we were happy about it. I blame my godson. He’s 9 and, as 9-year-olds so effortlessly do, had made a lot of friends at Lakeland Elementary. I had also made friends, connected with neighbors, and begun to see the intricacies of my supposed-to-be-temporary waystation: the happy harmony of blue-collar workers and hightech Seattle refugees; the mix of long-established families and recent Washington transplants; the close electoral partisan split; the low-key tenor that looks dull from without and pleasant from within. I took the 9-year-old and his growing roster of pals to Wild Waves and Trampoline Nation, attended political functions at Steel Lake Park, got ironically serious about my bowling prowess at Secoma Lanes (and wondered sarcastically if their cash-only business model meant they were a front for organized crime), and took part in the communal giddiness of Seahawks fandom at RAM and Time Out Ale House even if I never quite got into football (I’m an NBA fan; when we first crossed into Washington on our move I instinctively and deeply started resenting Oklahoma City).

Karen Hedwig Backman seems have an obsession with guns. Every time she writes to the Mirror, it’s about guns. This time (Jan. 29) it was about Michelle Maliare being shot in a Renton theater. Backman said that the gun belonged to Dave Gallion. He had a concealed-pistol permit and she added that he had an alcohol problem. She did not say that this was apparently an accident. I would like to change this story a bit. Let’s assume that Gallion has a car. He gets a drivers license. Oh, yes, he also has an alcohol problem. He drives down the freeway. He is not drunk. He has an accident. Michelle Maliare is injured. Guns kill people. Cars kill people. Let’s make both illegal.

Support the schools technology levy There is a joke about a teacher who asks students to identify the most amazing example of technology in their lives. A student quickly responds, “A thermos! It keeps hot things hot and keeps cold things cold.” The teacher asks what is so remarkable about that and the student just as quickly replies, “Well, how does it know?!” That’s my segue into education, technology and the ability to know what you have to do. Federal Way Public Schools is seeking your approval to extend the technology levy for our schools. As many of your readers have stated in their letters of endorsement, it is not a new
tax, but a continuation of a tax that is expiring. Expiration of the tax would not stop the advance of technology, but it would most certainly hinder our children’s ability to keep pace with technology and their ability to leverage technology for the advancement of their education. Students made the effort to address the Board of Education and made clear the value of technology in being able to do homework, research subject matter, and get assistance from parents through better awareness of class requirements. Technology is also what the teachers and administrators need to keep track of student progress and adjust educational strategies to ensure the student succeeds. Technology is how the system knows that a student needs more academically challenging work or
academic assistance in particular subject areas or has special needs to be accommodated for the student to be successful. As technology changes the teachers must be ahead of the curve, and that means training to teach what is new so student knowledge does not stagnate. Technology enables students to succeed, and when government fails in its duty to properly resource public education it falls upon local communities to step up and carry the load to enable our children to succeed. That is what the voters in Federal Way did in 2010, and they are being asked to do this again this February. We are all hoping that the citizens of Federal Way will once again show their support for continuing the technology levy to keep the futures of our children bright.

Intoxicated man arrested for striking pedestrian FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way police arrested a man who hit a pedestrian in Federal Way on Jan. 24. Witnesses told officers the suspect, who police later determined was intoxicated, struck a pedestrian with his vehicle’s side mirror in the 1400 block of SW Dash Point Road at approximately 5:35 p.m., according to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock. The pedestrian was transported to Harborview Medical Center with broken ribs and non-life-threatening internal injuries. The suspect failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for vehicular assault. Schrock said a warrant for blood was obtained and he was later booked into SCORE jail.

Highline College among nation’s leading community colleges FROM STAFF REPORTS
Highline College was recently named one of the nation’s top 150 community colleges by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program. The honor gives Highline the chance to compete for the 2017 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence and $1 million in prize funds. The Aspen Prize is the nation’s signature recognition of high achievement and performance among America’s community colleges. It recognizes institutions for exceptional student outcomes in four areas: student learning, certificate and degree completion, employment and earnings, and access and success for minority and low-income students. Started in 2011, the Aspen Prize is awarded every two years. Washington two-year colleges have fared well in past competitions. In 2015, Renton Technical College was one of 10 finalists. In 2013, Walla Walla Community
College was a co-winner with California’s Santa Barbara City College. Highline, along with the other 149 community colleges, was selected from a national pool of more than 1,000 public two-year colleges using publicly available data on student outcomes in three areas: • Performance: retention, graduation rates including transfers, and degrees and certificates per 100 full-time equivalent students. • Improvement: awarded for steady improvement in each performance metric over time. • Equity: evidence of strong completion outcomes for minority and low-income students. Nearly half of America’s college students attend community college, with more than 7 million students—youth and adult learners—working towards certificates and degrees in these institutions across the country. Ten finalists will be named in fall 2016. The Aspen Institute will then conduct site visits to each of the finalists and collect additional quantitative data. A distinguished Prize Jury will select a grand prize winner and a few finalists with distinction in early 2017.

‘Red Wolf’ artist shares personal story at luncheon BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
J
effrey Veregge wasn’t always the famous artist who helped resurrect Marvel Comics’ first Native American superhero “Red Wolf.” In fact, he said that for most of his life he felt like Sheldon Cooper from the “Big Bang Theory.” Part of it was because he used to wear Vulcan ears to school at his Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe in Kingston. But he also struggled with fear and anxiety. “It was something that has troubled and plagued me,” Veregge said to a crowd at a Greater Federal Way Chamber of Commerce luncheon in January. “It prevented me from doing a lot of things. It didn’t prevent me from doing art.” While art was a “great escape” for him, Veregge was bullied throughout high school and lived with that anxiety until he was 38
years old. Kids, he said, also tended to grow up fast on “the rez.” Finally, after years of hesitation, Veregge tried antidepressants. “It was like going from regular television to an HD movie,” he said. “Everything just seemed so much clearer to me. I wanted to be around people and I didn’t worry any longer if they were going to like me or if they were going to reject me.” His new perspective also caused him to look at what he was doing in his career. Although he had a successful career working for a great company, it “wasn’t what [he] went to art school for.” Veregge, who is also of Suquamish and Duwamish descent, contacted a pop art gallery that does annual Star War shows and sent them his portfolio. However, it wasn’t until he said he could infuse Coast Salish design with Star Wars art that they became truly

added, the gallery was sold out of his work. A piece called “The Bat,” which depicts Batman with Salish wings and designs throughout his body, won several awards. Veregge soon put his twist on a wide array of comic book icons and other characters that included Spiderman,
a Xenomorph, Super Man, and many others. Each gig was better and better. “When I got my first gig at Marvel, about two years ago… the head of Marvel contacted me through Facebook,” Veregge recalled. “He said he’d like for me to

Saying no – a change in meaning Keeping those two reflective ideas in mind, what better way to create awareness of life in our community than by including these inspirations in our everyday lives through the written medium? This is a chance for all to convey ideas and information. Every one of us can benefit by listening to those that are seldom heard. If projected in a careful and positive manner, this thought-provoking section can sustain the test and scrutiny of some that believe otherwise. Author and leadership expert Dave Logan travels the United States and lectures on how each of us can change the world by rewriting what he calls our “default future,” which he explains are the futures we already have and at times, pre-written. Mr. Logan says each of our default futures contain our hopes, our dreams and our aspirations. He also includes an answer to one important ques-
tion – what’s likely to happen if nothing unexpected comes along? How can we rewrite our future for us, our children and the next generations to come? Imagine yourself vacationing on a tropical island, laying in the sun on one of its beaches, enjoying a warm breeze as it gently blows onto your skin and through your hair. What if nothing unexpected came along? Like any human being you probably would order another drink, fall asleep, or even start daydreaming about what you want to do the next day. These are actions we would take because they are default. They don’t require any thinking and, as Logan states, “They are hardwired into that moment.” Our default future determines our actions unless we decide that we want to do something to rewrite it. It requires no thought and is basically automatic. The question is, do we want to continue with a scripted default future or can we reasonably opt for something different? If we
I was extremely happy to see the Federal Way Mirror take an active role in reaching out toward an ever-broadening segment of our community by initiating a Diversity section in their publication. I took the question raised by Mr. Greg Baruso about what diversity means, and what follows is my personal view. My views are shaped by the words of Jorge Agustin Nicolas Ruiz de Santayana y Borres: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” No more fitting words were selected to be placed prominently on a plaque at the Auschwitz concentration camp. We have thousands of years of history to learn from and yet my memories amounting to less than half a century show a stubborn disregard for the past. Many Americans of Japanese descent have direct family histories associated with the unconstitutional roundup of their families from the homes and businesses they had worked so hard for by a shameful act of government overreach and disdain for due process under the law. My family history has a bit of a twist. What was deemed right for Americans was deemed right for families of Japanese descent living in Peru. My grandparents had worked
hard to establish a grocery store in Peru, only to be rounded up and sent through the Panama Canal for an eventual train ride to the concentration camp at Crystal City, Texas. There they lived in a split camp with Japanese people in one half and people of German descent in the other. How distasteful it is to see polls today that show some still believe that it is right that we rounded up people on the basis of race in World War II and should again today based on race or religion. Many of those same people profess a great love of former President Ronald Reagan, who happens to be the one who signed the law issuing reparations to be paid to Japanese-Americans along with an apology on behalf of our government for the lawless act of racist hysteria. My grandmother’s reverence was for Colorado Gov. Ralph Carr, a great American politician who fought with personal courage against the internment order issued by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It kept her older brother a free man so that years later he could reach out to offer a place to live when our government sought to deport my grandmother and her children back to Peru after World
War II had ended. Her brother fought against the deportation order and, in this case, the rule of law prevailed and our American journey began. Great Americans continued to shape our lives. The employer and union that saw my father as a human being trying to raise a family provided him the opportunity to live the American dream. He eventually bought a dry cleaning business in South Central Los Angeles. He used to tell us never to get into a business that involves another person’s property because of the headaches with complaints, but in the aftermath of the Watts Riots it proved that by being the neighborhood closet, his business only suffered a random bullet hole in the storefront window while businesses next door and across the street were looted or burned down. Believing that racial tensions had been addressed with courageous laws put into place by President Lyndon Baines Johnson on the strength of the vision put forth by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I once again saw the disregard for history play out as Americans of Hispanic descent were beaten for “looking Iranian.” This was during the Iranian Hostage Crisis – a much more serious prequel to recent
events. American virtues like “never kick a person when they’re down” were tossed aside with horrific disregard as Mr. Rodney King was violently beaten and kicked on national television and the subsequent denial of justice brought us a sequel to the Watts Riot, as well as King’s plea, “Can’t we just get along?” I don’t deny that we live in relative comfort, but it would be extremely difficult to be so out of tune with current events to believe that there are no people who still act on the diversity among people with ill intent. I view diversity as nothing more than a statement of fact. It is just variety among fellow human beings. We have philosophical differences (religion, origin of life, etc.). We have cultural differences (language, clothing, food, etc.). We have differences in physique and abilities (gender, age, physical strengths, mental strengths, etc.). We have visual differences (skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and differences in gender preference along with so much more. Ultimately what I think is important is how we respond to the variety we see. I feel it is so much more important to act on good intentions and find what we can do for our fellow human beings than to take a self-destructive path in finding what we can do to people who

GUEST COLUMN
Before deciding to include a Diversity section in its paper, the Federal Way Mirror sent out a survey on whether or not the citizens of our great city thought that this type of journalism was needed. If you read the report you would have seen that 38 percent – 22 people of the 59 people that participated in the 10-question survey – stated that our community would not benefit from such a section. Someone even commented that this might show that the Mirror is “coddling special interest groups,” and several of the survey participants think that the Mirror covers too many diversity issues already. The Federal Way School District always includes an inspirational theme in their ads stating, “a commitment to educating every child – All Means All,” and around the banner of our city’s 25th anniversary logo reads, “Celebrating our past, building our future.”
choose to stay the course then it will win. It will win because of stagnant thoughts and beliefs, and it will keep us sheltered from understanding our community, one that is rich with the tradition and culture that has made Federal Way a city to live and be proud to live in. How do we change our course? We change it by taking a stand and saying no to doing nothing, no to complacency, and no to keeping the status quo. In his lectures, Logan states that when we collectively say no to the default future we put ourselves in the category of being leaders. Both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks rewrote the future of the United States in regards to racial relations when they stood up and said no, redefining methods and actions in a time when the default future of our country was that of inequality. In determining to include a Diversity section, the Mirror has said no, choosing to rewrite our city’s future. This section will serve as a method in which our focus on building a future is assured and that committing to educate our children is carried
toward that same future. Will including a section on diversity shape how we all feel about each other? Will it teach us to be more tolerant toward our neighbors? We can all sit back and do nothing about the future because, ready or not, here it comes – or we can rewrite and reinvent our future and we can paint a masterpiece to test the hands of time, leveraging and embracing what we have before us today. Now is the time to say no. Together we can change the future to articulate our needs and not accept what is coming toward us. Others may disagree, but it is my belief that we need this section to not only stay a part of the Mirror, but most of all a part of our community.

have done nothing but show us that they are part of the variety among us all. I know that the vast majority of people in our community show they embrace diversity as embracing humanity. They volunteer and initiate random acts of kindness by finding things they can do for people. Unless the vast majority stands strong against the few who go out of their way to find something to do to people that don’t match their range of acceptable variation, we will continue to see the disregard for even the short history I have lived through, and we will continue to watch innocent people suffer again through unjust deportation orders, unjust incarcerations, unjust seizure of property and unjust loss of life. Thank you for the opportunity to communicate my views on diversity to members of our community.

KING COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM STARTS STUDENT LIBRARY ACCOUNTS PROJECT
The King County Library System’s new student library accounts project will let students open library accounts that won’t ever be blocked for overdue fines. The library system is working with the White House ConnectED Library Challenge project through the Urban Libraries Council, the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences, and the American Library Association toward a nationwide goal of providing every child with a public library card so they can use library resources in conjunction with their classroom lessons and academic pursuits. For personal library cards, excessive fines will automatically block the individual’s access to all library resources beyond library walls until the fines are paid: no checkouts for books or other physical materials, no database access, no computers or printing on library equipment. At the end of 2014, the library system offered a one-time fine waiver for all kids’ cards so they could get a clean start on 2015.

stage to solicit a hotelier to build a hotel between the Performing Arts and Event Center and the former Target building.” While no one answered a Request for Proposal for the remaining property at the former Target site in February, Ferrell said the city plans to put forward another request this fall. “It is our goal to create an urban village in our downtown, promoting walkability and giving our residents a reason to stay right here in Federal Way,” he said. “Families will be able to enjoy world-class entertainment, shopping, a fine meal, and not have to be stuck in traffic for 30 minutes in order to do so.” Since the city opened a police substation downtown and added new officers, Ferrell said the city is now beginning to see “dividends.” He reported police saw a 6 percent decrease
in 2015 in comparison to 2014’s crime statistics. Dramatic reductions included a 30 percent drop in residential burglary, a 25 percent drop in fraud, auto theft is down 19 percent, larceny is down 6 percent and commercial burglary dropped 5 percent. “In order to change the paradigm in our city, we needed to first invest in ourselves,” Ferrell said, adding that those investments can be seen throughout the business community as well. Kirkland-based developer MJR purchased multiple office buildings in Federal Way this year and has leased to companies, such as Prominence Health, which opened a facility that is projected to employ nearly 100 people. “Celebration Center will soon see the opening of Legendary Doughnuts, Chick-fil-A, and a new fitness center… which ironically is near the doughnut
shop,” Ferrell joked. “Well played, fitness center. Well played.” Mark McDonald will likely spur more economic development with his $14.2 million purchase of Center Plaza, formerly known as the Cratsenberg property. According to Ferrell, McDonald has entered into an agreement to build new establishments, such as Mod Pizza. Ferrell said Cafe Rio is on its way, Honor Coffee will replace the former Starbucks in the Commons Mall, and Red Robin will demolish and rebuild at their current location. “This past weekend we saw the grand opening of Hong Kong Market, and I am pleased to announce the 7-Eleven Corporation has relocated their regional offices to Federal Way, citing our low cost of business and prime location,” he said. But one area of economic growth isn’t quite so clear. While Ferrell said the
city has worked closely with Heartland, the company responsible for marketing and selling the Weyerhaeuser property, he told the community to “stay tuned” to what exactly will replace the 425 acres and 800,000 square feet of office space. The community can also anticipate the results of a city-funded needs assessment that will analyze the “viability” of bringing a university or branch campus to Federal Way. “This is an incredibly important step and builds on the momentum and interest we have received from schools like Washington State University and University of WashingtonTacoma,” Ferrell said. “We are confident that Federal Way is a perfect location, and a university would be wise to expand to our city.” In 2015, the city allocated funds toward a temporary day shelter, and with recent state funding secured, Ferrell said Sound Alliance and
its partners are now on a “pathway to turn that commitment into a reality.” “We will never reach our full potential in our country until we arrest the downward cycle and desperate situation of homelessness,” he said. “We must continue to help people claw a way back to self-sufficiency and dignity.” Ferrell concluded his remarks with the unveiling of the city’s new website, a move that coincides with the city of Federal Way’s re-branding effort. The city has hired Rusty George Creative to assist in this endeavor. “Whether you are seeking a permit to build, pay court fees, or are simply looking for information, our new website is much more user-friendly and streamlined,” Ferrell said. “I am proud of the direction our community is headed, and I am truly excited for the progress we will continue to make in 2016.”

‘DON’T DRIP AND DRIVE’ CAMPAIGN WINS NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
King and Pierce counties have won the National Association of Clean Water Agencies’National Environmental Achievement Award for Excellence in Public Information and Education with their jointly-managed “Don’t Drip and Drive” campaign. The regional public awareness campaign, www.fixcarleaks.org, which started in spring 2013 and continued into summer 2014, encouraged Puget Sound-area drivers to identify and fix vehicle leaks to reduce the amount of oil and other petroleum-related products that pollute nearby bodies of water, including Puget Sound. The campaign team partnered with the Automotive Service Association Northwest, AAA Washington, EnviroStars and individual auto repair shops to offer free visual leak inspections and discounts to repair leaks. In addition, the team held free leak check events with nonprofit partners in communities throughout the region. The ‘Don’t Drip and Drive’ campaign was managed by King County in 2013 and Pierce County in 2014. The program leadership team was made up of representatives from Pierce, King, and Snohomish counties, Washington State Department of Ecology and Futurewise, with PRR, Inc. managed regional advertising, and Cascadia Consulting Services managed program evaluation.

Federal Way woman spreads passion for health and wellness BY ANDREW FICKES For the Mirror
O
n a Saturday morning in January, Kimberly DeMile is on stage doing what she loves. Twenty-five women are taking her direction as part of a 60-minute Jazzercise class at DeMile’s new Federal Way Jazzercise. “When I’m up there, I feel like I’m doing what I was meant to do,” DeMile said. DeMile opened Federal Way Jazzercise on Jan. 1 at 2016 S. 320th St., Suite C. Inside is a spacious 1,900-square-foot dance space for members to spread out and move their body to a variety of Top 40 music. Jazzercise promises members the potential to burn up to 800 calories per hour. “We remember (Jazzercise) from the 1980s,” DeMile said. “People think Richard Simmons and leg warmers. They don’t think it still exists. I want to make Jazzercise cool. We’re not just old ladies and leg warmers. The challenge is getting people to come and try it out.” DeMile discovered Jazzercise in Scottsdale, Ariz., in the mid-1990s. After moving to Washington, she became a certified Jazzercise instructor and franchise owner in 1999. For the past 15 years, DeMile taught classes in public spaces, including the Federal Way Community Center. In 2015 she moved her classes to The Center at Norpoint and, when she was pushed out of her lease there, she decided to open

a storefront. DeMile said many of her clients stayed with her because of her longtime presence in Federal Way. “Now that we’re visible and we’re here, I can’t help but be successful and share my passion for health and wellness with others,” DeMile said. Part of sharing her passion for health and wellness extends beyond her Jazzercise instruction. DeMile is also a certified coach of The Healthy Edge, a program that offers eight-and 12week intensives that serve to educate people about how to eat healthier and changes people’s mindset to set them on a path of success. “Within The Healthy Edge, there are miniseries on emotional eating, secret eating and metabolism,” DeMile explained. “We don’t do weigh-ins. It’s education and mindset.” The Healthy Edge is a separate business from DeMile’s Jazzercise. However, many of the women who are in Jazzercise classes also take courses in The Healthy Edge. For DeMile, it was her personal journey that brought her to believe in the power of The Healthy Edge. “I found The Healthy Edge five years ago,” DeMile said. “I found I wasn’t eating right. I wasn’t drinking enough water. I was binge eating.” Despite being an experienced Jazzercise instructor, DeMile struggled with her weight, gaining 50 pounds following her pregnancies. DeMile said The Healthy Edge got her on a low-

DeMile lost the 50 pounds and credits The Healthy Edge family for helping her to stay on track. DeMile’s Federal Way center includes a classroom space where The Healthy Edge classes will be held. A new Healthy Edge accountability group started
in late January and will go through mid-April. “I’d like to see 50 people in here doing Healthy Edge,” she said. DeMile would also like to open the center to children. “We’re gearing up for kids’ classes,” DeMile said. “We want to have kids’ birthday parties. They can come and do a workout, have a dance party with disco lights. We have a stage and big open floor,
and kids really love that.” Also, starting in March, DeMile’s husband Ken, who has a martial arts and fitness background, will lead boot camp classes that incorporate martial arts defense moves.

Q&A with Mr. FW: City staff. To write, or not to write again – that is the question Q
: Why are local businesses/educational facilities/nonprofits so determined to get free editorial content and so reluctant to place paid advertising, which in fact makes the local community paper possible? Do people realize that the Mirror is a business that depends on revenue? And… do Federal Wayans who want to “Shop Local” realize that, along with spending their dollars with the loyal advertisers who run in the paper, purchasing ads in the Mirror is also a way to “Shop Local?” A: Wow, you sure got your money’s worth with this question. There’s like six questions embedded in here. This must have come from a woman; no man could string together this many consecutive words without coming up for air or using a period. This includes yours truly, and Mr. Federal Way has been exceptionally blessed with the gift of gab. Mr. Federal Way appreciates the community looking out for the paper in the financial department. I know about as much about
this part of this business as I do about how hummingbirds mate. Think about that for a minute. That must be a “delicate” dance with the devil. Talk about giving new meaning to a “quickie.” Mr. Federal Way does know about human behavior though, and getting something for nothing is an intricate part of free enterprise. Even the basis of our economy has the word “free” in it. Since Mr. Federal Way received this question, I have been listening intently to the marketing gals and how they operate. I’m convinced after a few days of this, that, one, they never quit talking. Ever. And two, that not many free ads get past them. My guess is that the businesses in Federal Way also realize this and so they pull the old “ask your mother” trick and try to approach the weaker parent, in this case the editorial team, for a different answer. It obviously doesn’t work, hence the reason this lands on my desk.
Mr. Federal Way always tries to shop locally. Except for marijuana. Can’t find that locally even though it’s legal. The Federal Way Clean-Living Cabal has apparently decided that I am not qualified enough to make that decision for myself. Which may be true, but I still don’t like being told what to do. Q: What are the two letters to the editor in last week’s paper, from city talking head Steve McNey, complaining about your writings? Why is he responding with a letter to the editor instead of to you personally? A: I think the bigger question is why he’s spending taxpayer money calling on an opinion writer to follow Society of Professional Journalism rules. Then he ends his tirade with a statement that, as a columnist, I am not required to follow these rules but should anyhow. Not even in the world of city
government, where almost nothing makes sense, does this statement make sense. This is like saying that a golf announcer can’t call a golf game because he has never won a professional tournament. Frankly, I got a little lost in what was occurring there. His first letter said that I had to become a better writer and follow journalism rules for a question that came in that I spent time saying I couldn’t even answer as it would take too much time. I punted on the question, really, since I’m too lazy to look into all of the questions that the writer wanted to know. So I got taken to task for a question I didn’t even answer. Then, his second letter proceeds to answer all of the questions that the writer had that I didn’t answer. So, to sum this all up: The Mirror received two letters from the Mayor’s office to admonish Mr. Federal Way for answering a question that wasn’t answered that they in turn answered themselves… for a question they didn’t want answered. Back when Mr. Federal Way was a youngster he
used to say some inappropriate things – no, really. For example, there were a bunch of skinny girls in class that I would call fat. It never bothered them, since they weren’t. I continued to do this, as it didn’t seem to hurt the twiggy ones’ feelings. Then one day I called a fat girl fat and she tackled me and beat me to a pulp. So, in short, it seems that maybe the writer that sent in the question found the fat girl and she attacked back. Perhaps the truth was a little too close to home for them. Q: I see the Mirror is without an editor. Has this position been filled yet? A: Great timing on this question. I am sure the publisher considered hiring Steve McNey for this position but gave up after he found his writing too confusing. Next in line was Jason Ludwig, who just filled the position. He started on Monday and is quickly starting to realize that Mr. Federal Way is the top of the class of this organization’s writers. Ludwig is a resident of Federal Way that hails from Arizona. Let’s see how long he sticks

coverage got me the job. I’d also like to think the same attributes will keep the Mirror a resource that my fellow Federal Wayans can use and enjoy. Toward that effort, I’d love to hear from you; from anyone in the community who wants to share their thoughts on the city, the Mirror, the issues we face, or the pretenders in Oklahoma City. The responsibility of overseeing the only truly local newspaper in a city of 90,000 is not one I take lightly, and I’m anxious to read your suggestions, complaints, and tips. In the meantime, Federal Way, thank you for welcoming me, and thank you for being a home I never knew I desperately wanted.

Eagles top Raiders, finish undefeated regular season BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
T
he Federal Way High School boys basketball team lost 80-58 to Bellevue on Jan. 19, 2015. It’s been a year and they haven’t lost since, capping off an undefeated season on Friday with an 80-67 win over Thomas Jefferson High School. A raucous Jefferson crowd was in attendance, but a flurry of points for Federal Way to start the second half proved to be too much for the Raiders to overcome. The Eagles ended the first half with two straight Jalen McDaniels dunks that pushed their lead to 35-30. Ferron Flavors had the hot hand in the second half, starting the third quarter by scoring the first 10 points and extending Federal Way’s run to 14-0 and their lead to 15. Darius Anderson made a 3-pointer to end the run. Alex Sommerfield would add another 3-pointer to close the gap back to nine points. Jefferson twice came within eight points in the third quarter, but that was the closest they would get. Another 8-0 scoring burst late in the third brought the lead back to 16 points, with Federal Way up
57-41. Federal Way switched to a trap scheme on the defensive side of the ball in the second half, making it difficult for the Raiders offense to get anything going. “I thought we gave [Jefferson] too many points in the first half,” Federal Way head coach Jerome Collins said. “Give them credit; they shot well. But I thought we gave them too many open shots without pressure. I thought we clamped down [in the second half].” The Raiders ended the third quarter with a 7-0 run of the own, but Federal Way answered every shot they had in the fourth quarter to keep the lead wide. “I think we stagnated a bit offensively,” Jefferson head coach Kyle Templeton said. “It was a 15-point game, and then we hit three 3s in three possessions and it’s back to an eight-point game. I was proud of the way we weathered it. That’s what happens when you play against the number one team in the state. They’re good for a reason.” Federal Way hit 19 of their 23 free throws in the second half to keep the gap between the two teams wide as they cruised to victory. The first half was more

Thomas Jefferson holds off Todd Beamer rally in league tiebreaker BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com
T
homas Jefferson High School’s boys basketball team looks like it’s finding its groove at the right time. The Raiders took down the Todd Beamer High School Titans on Jan. 29 for the second time in two weeks with a 51-45 win on Tuesday. The game was a tiebreaker to determine seeding for the South Puget Sound League tournament being held this Thursday and Saturday. Jefferson and Beamer finished tied in the league standings with 5-3 records. Beamer took the first game between the two schools 58-54 on Dec. 18. The Raiders defeated Beamer 62-57 in their second matchup on Jan. 26. Tuesday’s game was another tightly contested battle between the two schools. The Raiders faced a familiar scenario against Beamer as they struggled in the third quarter. They built a 30-21 lead at the half, but saw it evaporate immediately once the second half began. Beamer started the third quarter with a 15-0 run, taking a six-point lead, and the Titans spread the ball around to allow four players to score during the run, led by Abraham Murray’s six points. The Titans outscored the Raiders 17-5 in the
third quarter and took a three-point lead into the fourth. The third has been the worst quarter for Jefferson in their last three games, and Friday’s matchup was no different. Beamer opened the third quarter with a 10-0 run, taking the lead and conjuring up memories of Jefferson’s previous rough third quarters against West Seattle, Kentlake and Puyallup in their season opener. “We need to come out with more energy in the third quarter,” Jefferson head coach Kyle Templeton said. “I don’t know if that means I need to keep them in [the locker room] shorter for halftime and let them go out and shoot layups and free throws or whatever, but we need to find more energy.” Jefferson made up for their third quarter shortcomings with a strong fourth quarter. Beamer opened with the first four points, but the Raiders defense clamped down after that. The next 12 points were scored by the Raiders. With the game tied at 42, Kobee Mendoza zipped a pass through a crowded lane to find Kendell Harris, who put the Raiders up for good with a layup with just over 2:30 to go. “I’ve got to give a huge shoutout to Kendell who struggled in the third quarter, but he came up with some big plays,” Templeton said. “I am

so pleased with how he bounced back.” Both teams traded turnovers and missed shots for the next minute. With under a minute to go, Jefferson’s Darius Anderson came up with the biggest shot of the night when he nailed a 3-pointer, giving the Raiders a five-point lead. “Their kids did not panic,” said Beamer coach Brent Brilhante. “When we went on that 17-2 run, I saw the body language of our kids was great, but those TJ kids did not panic. They were digging in. Darius’ 3 that put them up five was a dagger. For a senior to knock that shot down in that kind of game is huge, and I’m happy for him.” Beamer’s Gio Jackson was fouled moments after Anderson’s 3-pointer, but he converted only one of his free throws to keep the Raiders’ lead at 4743. Beamer grabbed the rebound on the free throw, but a lane violation gave Jefferson the ball. Harris knocked down two free throws bringing the lead to 49-43. Patrick Kennedy would drive into the lane for a basket to cut the lead back to four, but Anderson responded with two free throws to close out the game. Anderson led the Raiders with 14 points. Alex Sommerfield had 12. Kennedy’s 16 points and Murray’s 11 paced the

Titans. The win for the Raiders means they will do something they have not done for at least three decades when they host a game in the West Central District tournament. They claimed the SPSL North’s fourth seed for the SPSL tournament and are guaranteed to be the SPSL’s fifth or sixth seed in the district tournament. “Before I got the job, the school hadn’t made districts since ‘85,” Templeton said. “This is the third time we’ve made it in four years. So three out of four years, this senior class had made it to the West Central District tournament.
Making districts without having to play in is a new experience for the school. I don’t even know if TJ has ever hosted a playoff game before.” Even with the loss, Beamer still has a guaranteed spot in the district tournament. They finished as the SPSL’s fifth seed and will be either the eighth or tenth seed to the district tournament. “Seeing our guys playing with such effort, I’m surprised that we didn’t come out on top tonight,” said Brilhante. “We get a few days of rest before our next game, and that game is not do-or-die. “We’re either gonna go

RAECHEL DAWSON, the Mirror get in touch with their talent liaison.” After sending Marvel a few covers and corresponding back and forth, Veregge finally got a call to do a show last April for the “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” “It was my first official Marvel gig where I could actually put Marvel’s little copyright trademark [on my work]. “It was one of the greatest highlights of my life.” Another highlight? Having Robert Downey Jr. share his art on Facebook. “My wife was, we were driving that day and she goes, ‘Oh my god!’ and started crying,” Veregge said. “I thought, ‘Oh, no.’ I thought somebody had
died.” As Veregge braced himself to ask what was wrong, his wife showed him a picture of his art, not realizing at first who had shared it. “It was really, really cool, and I don’t think that hurt me having him share that,” he said. Veregge started to work on “Red Wolf ” last July, not only as the cover artist but as a script consultant. “It’s one of those things that’s a lifetime dream that just got fulfilled, and to me it’s still not even real,” he said. “Red Wolf ” debuted in December. Veregge is currently working on his own comic book and hopes to have a preview by the Emerald City Comicon in March.
“We’re all special; we all have something unique that we have to offer,” he said. “Whether it’s cooking, whether it’s drawing, whether it’s painting, it doesn’t really matter what it is that you’re great at. You find out what it is that you love and see if you can combine the two.” In addition to his work with Marvel, Veregge has worked with Nike, Valiant Comics, Viacom and IDW Publishing. His work are part of collections at Yale University, Washington State Historical Society, University of Washington Burke Museum, Tucson Museum of Art and the Seattle Art Museum.

Women sing during a choral performance at the annual Korean American Day celebration. RAECHEL DAWSON, the Mirror
[ CELEBRATE from page 6] was projected to be about 4,760 in 2014. Federal Way’s current population hovers at around 90,000. But whatever the statistics, Korean-Americans have made a huge impact in Federal Way and throughout the state of Washington. Park, who will celebrate his 40th anniversary since coming to the United States from Wongu, South Korea, in 1976, has been a force in the Korean-American community. Park was appointed to the City Council in 1995 and would go on to become deputy mayor and eventually mayor in 1998. “I was the first KoreanAmerican mayor in the state of Washington,” he said. “It was quite an honor. I believe, truly, America is the land of opportunity, so I say that the American dream is
still becoming true.” Park said that when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1976, he never would have dreamed that he’d make it to where he is today. After serving two terms as mayor, he left city government in 2011 and founded the Korean School of Federal Way. The school, which teaches Korean language and culture, initially had 80 students enrolled and now serves almost 200 (60 of whom are not of Korean descent). Korean American Day not only recognizes the cultural and economic influence Koreans have had in Washington, but also Korean War veterans. “Many Washingtonians have sacrificed to provide the freedom South Korea enjoys today,” said Kim Jun Bae, Board Chair of the Washington State Korean American Day Celebra-
tion. “We appreciate your sacrifices, love and standing for our freedom. We could not be where we are today without your care for peace in the world.” Park said Korean American Day is important because it marks the day that more than 100 Koreans landed in Pearl Harbor. “We are continuously celebrating that day,” Park said, noting that KoreanAmericans are not an isolated group of people and have always tried to become part of the community. “We have a very strong presence, one of the most KoreanAmerican-concentrated in the United States.” Owen, whose two sons are from Korea, said the turnout at the event was an indication of the “strength, influence and respect” that the Korean community is held in by Washingtonians. “We have a lot to celebrate, not only here in Federal Way but throughout the great state of Washington,” he said. “The state that is known far and wide as being a very diverse, very welcoming state. We are so fortunate in this nation, but also in this state, that we open our doors from people around the world, we don’t close our doors to people from around the world.” Federal Way Police Chief Andy Hwang said he was honored to join the celebration. “Korean-Americans have
played a pivotal role in improving and contributing to all aspects of American life, and they add to the richness and diversity of our great state,” he said. “I am proud

to be part of a thriving and vibrant Korean-American community, and it has been an honor for me to serve as a law enforcement officer for more than 28 years.”

Innovative support for our small businesses Index, the Puget Sound region ranks 16th out of 40 for small business startup activity in a metropolitan area. Together we have fostered the right conditions for growth and the U.S. Small Business Administration stands ready to keep this momentum going. Working with our resource partners, the adminstration manages the largest local network of free small business advisors. We’ve
also eliminated borrower and bank fees on small-dollar loans, so more local entrepreneurs can get the working capital they need to hire and grow. Last year, the Small Business Association achieved record lending of $718 million under our flagship 7(a) loan program, with loans up 17.1 percent for women, 26.6 percent for minorities and 31 percent for veterans.

have had much choice, and it wouldn’t be a normal session unless Roach was in the middle of some controversy. Roach has always been one of the legislature’s most unique personalities. On the one hand, she marches to her own drummer. On the other hand, she has outlasted and outmaneuvered most of her critics and is President Pro Tem of the Senate. She is also running for the Pierce County Council, and many people in both parties in Olympia seem to want her to win. The topic of the week was K-12 and higher education, following the previous week’s high-visibility discussions on charter schools. The most articulate point I heard all week was a frustrated education leader’s
lament that “so much effort over 1200 charter school kids and we can’t solve the problem of a million public school kids.” It seemed to capture the emotion and the different views of priorities. But at least the debate was about policy. However, there were other, less cordial discussions as Republicans want to stretch out the time frame for reaching a solution on the court-ordered McCleary funding problem to 2018. Democrats screamed as they thought there had been agreement to reach a solution by 2017. The next distraction was Rep. Graham Hunt (R-Orting), who was questioned about the accuracy of his military record on his Facebook page. His description
of his service, medals, and a photo that wasn’t him were in dispute. Hunt was the state chair of the Ted Cruz presidential campaign and stepped down from that position following similar questions. By the end of the week, House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen (R-Snohomish) was telling Hunt to clarify his record or resign from the legislature. Kristiansen wasn’t making an idle suggestion: the Republicans didn’t want to lose the seat to a Democrat this fall. Hunt resigned this week. Another issue that stirred controversy was a new rule established by the state’s Human Rights Commission that would allow transgender people to use the bathrooms and locker rooms
likely. Federal Way legislators were also busy. Sen. Mark Miloscia (R) was in a hearing scolding Western State Hospital officials about the institution’s problems. Rep. Linda Kochmar (R) has been working on legislation regarding Elder Isolation, and new Rep. Teri Hickel (R) introduced her first piece of legislation on extending benefits for the Nutrition Assistance Program. But the search for dignified agreement and progress didn’t last long as Lt. Gov. Brad Owen kicked Sen. Pam Roach (R) off a committee on sex trafficking for some comments she made. Given the seriousness of the topic, Owen may not

he Puget Sound economy has added 106,618 jobs since January 2010. These jobs are made possible thanks to our local small businesses. Besides being the engines of our economy, they are the unique fabric of our community. Recently, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation published a Main Street Entrepreneurship Index comparing entrepreneurship rates among different demographic groups. According to this
our services across the community, we are offering increased services with some unique and innovative programs: The Small Business Association launched the My Brother’s Keeper Millennials Initiative to promote youth entrepreneurship in the nation’s underserved communities. We are partnering with community colleges to expose young people to innovative pathways to start a business, and we’re promoting a Business Smart toolkit to train nonprofits and faith-based organizations to teach financial literacy.

Small Business Association’s Boots to Business initiative gives post-9/11 transitioning service members a tutorial on the basics of business ownership. The program has introduced 32,000 service members and spouses to potential careers in entrepreneurship as they rejoin the civilian workforce. Boots to Business: Reboot has been launched to open up the innovative Boots to Business curriculum to veterans of every era. Small Business Association is partnering with local cities on Startup in a Day to create an easy-to-use of the gender they identify with in public buildings. Sen. Doug Ericksen (RFerndale) is sponsoring SB6443 to overturn the rule. Big turnout and not much agreement. Much of the legislation was introduced by legislators to either help their re-election or harm other people’s. It’s how the game gets played in Olympia during an election year when control of both chambers is at stake. But there was a thoughtful moment of reflection during the week when many with gray hair and long memories, myself included, recalled thirty years ago when history and education joined hands and the

Christa McAuliffe, a teacher, was on board. She wanted to learn so she could better teach her students.

A woman called police claiming that her husband had jumped on her. When police arrived, the husband waved them down and began to talk to them. The wife exited the house and began to yell at the husband, but police intervened. While interviewing the couple separately, the officers noticed that the male was covered in scratches and blood. The female was uninjured. The husband stated that he did not want his wife arrested but he wanted to get her mental help. Police arrested the wife for assault.

A male and female were working in the pharmacy of the business. The male noticed the female searching through prescriptions that were ready for pick up. When he asked what she was doing, the woman said she was just looking for two prescriptions. The male decided to check on the bag she was looking through and found that a prescription for 90 Percocet pills only contained 73. Store staff checked security footage and observed the female employee taking pills from the bag. The woman also threw some of the pills into a trash bin before coming back to get them. She then left towards the women’s restroom where she flushed them
down the toilet. She told police that she had intended to put the pills back, but her coworker became suspicious of her so she decided to get rid of them. She wanted the pills for personal use for an injury that she had not yet been to the doctor for. She was arrested.

5 priests assigned to Federal Way abused children over decades BY ALLISON DEANGELIS For the Mirror
F
ive priests who served in Federal Way and were accused of sexually abusing children over nearly four decades were among the names on a list released by the Archdiocese of Seattle last week as part of their self-proclaimed commitment to transparency. “This is an ongoing effort for us. The disclosure of this list was determined to be a step that would contribute to our accountability and transparency,” said Greg Magnoni, spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Seattle. But some say the list is too little, too late. “At least the archdiocese, ostensibly, released the list in an effort to be transparent. But it raises the questions of why now and why did it take so long to release this?” said Seattle attorney Michael Pfau, who has represented over 150 plaintiffs in cases of sexual abuse by priests. Federal Way priests Barry Ashwell, Theodore Marmo, James McGreal, Harold Quigg and Stephen Trippy were identified in the archdiocese’s list of 77
priests in Western Washington. They served in Federal Way for anywhere from one to nine years between 1972 and 1988. According to the archdiocese, the allegations against the 77 individuals were either admitted, established or determined to be credible. The allegations Allegations against many of the priests were brought forward over the last three decades. Several of them were sued in civil cases, some multiple times. In one of the lawsuits, a former Whidbey Island resident alleged that he was staying overnight at the Sacred Heart parish when he awoke to find Ashwell molesting him. It is also alleged that the archdiocese had received numerous reports of the priest sexually abusing children prior to the incident, but did nothing. After bouncing around parishes throughout the region, including St. Vincent de Paul in Federal Way from 1976-1978, Ashwell was assigned to St. Augustines for 22 years. “Barry Ashwell is a very, very interesting story. That there were problems as early as the seminary …
I’ve represented a number of Ashwell victims, so he molested a number of kids,” Pfau said. Others alleged that the priest molested them at Catholic Youth Organization camps, gave them drugs or alcohol and made them watch pornography, the documents continue. It has been reported that Ashwell also adopted or fostered adolescent boys during this time period, one of whom accused him of molestation. The archdiocese placed him on administrative leave in 2002 after the allegations surfaced. He was formally laicized, or “defrocked,” in 2005. His current location is unknown. Quigg, who is now deceased, was assigned to Sacred Heart in Bellevue during the period in which he maintained a sexual relationship with an unidentified teenager. In a May 2014 statement in response to community concerns over Quigg, the archdiocese said that they take the abuse of power and exploitation of the vulnerable, whether minors or adults, very seriously. But, the information about Quigg’s actions in

1980 were kept private at Quigg’s request and also because the archdiocese concluded that the incident did not constitute sexual abuse of a minor under canon and civil law at the time. While the thenArchbishop Alex Brunett restricted Quigg from participating in any public priestly ministry, presenting himself publicly as a priest or wearing clerical garb in 2004, it was later discovered that Quigg did not comply with these rules. The person whom Quigg had sexual relations with in 1980 was 17 years old at the time. Parish leadership were not made aware of the allegations until 2014. Quigg was a priest at St. Vincent de Paul from 1972-1981. Quigg died last year. He was eventually defrocked, according to Magnoni, who stressed that call is made by the Vatican. The allegations on Marmo, McGreal and Trippy are unknown at this time. Marmo was assigned to St. Vincent de Paul from 19761978 and was laicized. McGreal was assigned to St. Theresa in Federal Way from 1987-1988 and Trippy was assigned to St. Vincent de Paul from 1978-1979. Both are deceased. Reviewing the crimes After victims began speaking up, the archdiocese created the Archdiocesan Case Review Board to assess allegations of sexual abuse and advise the archbishop, according to the board’s documents. The board consisted of 11 former judges, sexual assault specialists, attorneys, Catholic officials and more, and met over 18 months. In a report they presented to the archdiocese in June 2004, the board reviewed 13 cases of sexual assault and made several recommendations, including that the archdiocese release the names of all priests found to have sexually abused minors. Then-Archbishop Alex Brunett did not take the report well, according to one of the board members. “There was resistance to our work,” attorney and former board member Michael McKay said. “Before the report was finalized, they tried to get us to rewrite the report. The archbishop and his staff did not want to publicize it.” Magnoni said that the archdiocese has taken all
recommendations made by different boards into serious consideration. Shortly after the report was finished, Brunett disbanded the case review board and created a new board. None of the members of the case review board were asked to join the new entity. Nearly six months after the report was given to Brunett, McKay and five other members of the review board joined together and wrote him a letter expressing concern over the archbishop’s response, or lack thereof. Despite the board’s recommendation, the archbishop had initially declined to make the report public and the names of priests accused of sexual assault. It was only after the review board threatened to resign that the archbishop did the former. Only just last week — more than 11 years later — did they do the latter. Some question whether the list goes far enough. “If the release of the names did anything, I am glad it is finally causing people to talk about this. But what I would really like to see is the archbishop release the files on these priests. If you really, really want to talk transparency,” Pfau said. As the archdiocese moves forward, if additional measures such as releasing files are determined to be the right path, they will consider them, Magnoni said. Also notably absent from last week’s release were any names of employees of the archdiocese against whom allegations of sexual abuse had been made, he said. In 2012, Pfau represented a victim in a case against a vice principal at St. Benedict’s in Seattle. Additionally, one of the victims in the 2002 Marsh lawsuit stated that he turned to an employee of the archdiocese named James Walsh and asked him to stop Marsh from sexually abusing him. Walsh then allegedly proceeded to serve the minor alcohol and sexually abuse and molest him, according to the court documents. The archbishop also reportedly responded to the report and said that they had already implemented most of the recommendations and that there would not likely be any further incidents of child sexual
abuse in the church. “We are especially concerned because your position is that all of the issues have already been remedied,” the letter, dated Dec. 20, 2004, read. “We believe that to imply or state otherwise as you have is misleading to the public and the Catholic community. It is just such a position that has come back to haunt many an organization that believed the risk is gone.” The penalties (or lack thereof) Given the delay in both the victims coming forward and the archdiocese taking action, most men never faced penalties for their crimes. Victims of abuse often do not come forward for decades. By that time, the statute of limitations on criminal cases has often run out and the only recourse is to pursue civil litigation. The majority of those cases are settled and never make it to trial. Victims are profoundly affected and often have their whole lives altered by the abuse, according to Pfau. In a letter to the community released Jan. 15, the current archbishop J. Peter Sartain said that one of his first priorities when he became archbishop in 2010 was to end the sexual abuse of minors. The archdiocese’s work is far from over, and training and prevention efforts are ongoing, he added. “Many of us, certainly me, did that out of love for the church,” McKay said of his time on the board and his hopes for the archdiocese. “The church is an organization of human beings, and human beings are going to screw up. What you can do is put into place tools and procedures to reduce the chances of that happening and increase reporting.” The archdiocese is committed to taking further action, Magnoni said. “It’s easy to stand on the other side of this coin and suggest that things should have been done, but if you’re on this side of it, you realize it’s not possible in every single case,” he said. “If anyone has ideas about how we can address things of this nature, believe me, we are open.” Reporter Raechel Dawson contributed to this article.

Gender identity focus of restroom legislation BY IZUMI HANSEN
for the Mirror
A
bill to repeal a rule allowing people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with drew a substantial crowd at its first and only public hearing Wednesday. Senate Bill 6443 passed 4-3 through the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee later that day, four Republicans in favor and three Democrats opposed. A companion bill, HB 2935, has not been scheduled for a House committee public hearing. The Washington State Human Rights Commission created a rule based on a 2006 non-discrimination law for sexual identity passed by the legislature. The rule says people must be allowed to use gender-segregated places that match their gender identity. The new bill would prevent the commission from creating further rules concerning gendersegregated locations. Sen. Doug Ericksen (R-Ferndale), the prime sponsor of the bill, described the rule as “men in the women’s locker room.” He said the rule was problematic because of the implementation process, the content of the rule and that “nobody heard about it. “There’s an expectation that parents have with regards of when they take their kids to school of who will use which locker room, who will use which bathroom,” Ericksen told
the committee. He also said businesses would be negatively affected by the rule, but that this was a compromise bill since it allowed individual businesses to institute the rule for their business. Laura Lindstrand, a policy analyst for the Human Rights Commission, said in an interview that the rule was put in place to clarify the 2006 law. Proponents of the bill said the rule opens doors for sexual predators and human traffickers and that the rulemaking process was unsound. “It’s an attack on our process of democracy,” Angela Connelly, president of the Washington Women’s Network, said of the rule and rule-making process. “This did not go through a legislative process. This is a group of unelected officials. “We need to make sure that everyone is safe and everyone is protected. We need to go back and rethink this.” The Washington Women’s Network is a women’s advocacy group that walked in the March for Life at the capitol earlier this month. Paul MacLurg, owner of Thrive Community Fitness in Lacey, said he could lose business because of the rule. He also said he should be able to protect people within his business. “Before this rule was in place the law allowed me to use my best judgment,” MacLurg said. “Now I have no good choices; [ more BILL, page 38 ]

no protection from the law. This is not a gender issue. This is common sense, safety, decency and a privacy issue.” Opponents said repealing the rule would put transgender people, who are at a higher risk of sexual assault than other people, in more danger. They also said the 2006 law has not resulted in problems that proponents are worried about. “Trans people are already a part of your community,” said Jennifer Popkin of Seattle. “It is understandably easy to fear the unknown, but we must appeal to our better nature and confront fear with facts. “Transgender women like me are women. On a personal level I can’t imagine using a men’s bathroom.” Ryan Trainer of Federal Way said his young daughter is transgender. “She is who she is, and she arrived this way whether we knew it or not,” he told the committee. “She is deserving of respect and protection just like all of the children in Washington state. My transgender child is not a threat, nor will she be when she grows up into a beautiful transgender woman.”

Lindstrand said the commission held four public meetings and one publiccomment meeting to create the rule. By law, the commission is required to hold one public meeting and one public-comment meeting before registering rules. A question-and-answer document created by the commission said, “The rules do not protect persons who go into a restroom or locker room under false pretenses…. The rules do not prohibit asking legitimate questions about a person’s presence in a gender segregated facility.” At an executive session later Wednesday, Sen. Michael Baumgartner (RSpokane), chairperson of the Labor and Commerce Committee, said, “This is a very challenging subject matter. I do think everyone in our state deserves rights and protections. The challenge here is how to protect everyone” Sen. Steve Conway (D-Tacoma) said, “The bill you’re passing here basically is prohibiting this commission from ever taking up this issue again. I find we are running at an issue because of people’s fears. We should all be cautious when moving too quickly with issues like this. We should really be careful with what we’re doing.”
