Founder of Marlene’s Market & Deli dies at age 85 after battle with cancer

Memory of Marlene Beadle lives on By Olivia Sullivan osullivan@fedwaymirror.com

Marlene Beadle had the ability to see all the finer details of the big picture. The founder and namesake of Marlene’s Market & Deli died on June 16, but the legacy she pioneered in the natural foods industry will live on. Beadle was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 79 and endured a fierce six-year battle, family members say. “She beat the cancer, but complications

from some of the treatments caused issues and exhaustion, and eventually her body said it had enough,” said Jennifer Lehman, Beadle’s youngest daughter and the business’s finance manager. In 1968, Beadle read the book “Know Your Nutrition” by Linda Clark and then “Twinkies disappeared from our home at that time,” said Lisa Gebhardt, Beadle’s eldest daughter and the general manager of Marlene’s Market & Deli, which has locations in Federal Way and Tacoma. “She was a visionary, no doubt about

that,” Gebhardt said. “She saw that natural foods were what was important for health — whether it’s people’s health, environmental health, mental health, just all aspects.” Beadle worked for a natural foods store before purchasing it from the original owner on April 1, 1976. She changed the name to Federal Way Health Foods to reflect the community connection, but the store ultimately settled on Marlene’s Market & Deli. See MARLENE, Page 21

The city of Kent jail will house at least five inmates per day for the city of Federal Way under a three-year interlocal agreement expected to go into effect on Dec. 23. Federal Way leaders approached the city of Kent after deciding to leave a seven-city interlocal agreement with the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) regional jail in Des Moines, which opened in 2012. Federal Way officials say the city will save more than $2 million per year because of higher costs at the regional facility. Kent operates its own jail. The Kent City Council approved the contract Tuesday. The council’s Public Safety Committee on June 11 recommended that the full council adopt the agreement. The initial term would start Dec. 23, 2019 and remain in effect until Dec. 31, 2022, according to city documents. “Federal Way came to us, they do not have their own facility, and asked if we could house some of their inmates,” Assistant Kent Police Chief Jarod Kasner said to the committee.

CITIZEN OF THE MONTH

Four decades working for the community By Haley Donwerth

hdonwerth@fedwaymirror.com

Sharon Boyle loves to give back to her community. She finds her work with the special needs community rewarding, and while she is retiring from her positions at both the Federal Way Community Center and the Federal Way Public Schools District, she still wants to continue working with them as long as she can. Boyle, who worked as the Special Olympics unified sports coordinator, has been working with special needs individuals for over 30 years, starting with her involvement in the Rainbow Club in Burien. The director of the program at the time, Donna Oster-Dahl, thought Boyle would do well coaching special needs athletes. Boyle jumped at the opportunity. “I started coaching

citizen of the month sponsored by

bowling and from there, I’m here now,” Boyle said. The most rewarding part of the job was the growth Boyle saw in the athletes she worked with. “You watch somebody that comes out and is a little shy at first and doesn’t know where they fit in, and for them to actually come out of their shell and start fitting in and participating… to see that whole thing happen just because you brought them together for a sports program, that’s fabulous,” she said. While Boyle enjoys all of the sports she coaches, her favorite is softball, she said, because that’s what she grew up playing. Boyle also said she’d like the community to know the athletes she works with are no different than anyone else. “Sometimes they’re limited physically or challenged mentally, but they

still have the same feelings you have,” she said. “They just may be going through them at a different pace of their life than you are.” Boyle also does a lot of work with Friendship Theater, which puts on productions for the community every June. She works as the producer, director and choreographer for the theater, as well as anything else it might need for

productions. She is thankful for everyone else who works to make Friendship Theater possible. “I have a lot of great people that help me in so many areas,” she said. “Otherwise I couldn’t do this huge of a program because it is a huge undertaking.” They just finished performing “Mary Poppins,” and Boyle said next year’s production will start work

in September. Friendship Theater started over 20 years ago after several special needs individuals wanted to put on a show for the community. “From there we just decided, let’s just do a regular performance,” she said. Of her retirement, Boyle said she is leaving with a heavy heart. “It’s hard,” she said. “This program has grown so

much over the years and gotten so big… it’s a big job, and you get a little older and you don’t have quite that energy, so it’s time for somebody young that has that passion that I had when I was that age to get in here and keep that program going.” The school district has found a replacement for Boyle, and she said that helps ease her heart more. Boyle has had a rewarding career, she said, and is taking many memories with her. One of the biggest memories is seeing parents watch their children grow and come more out of their shell. “Just to see an athlete go from starting out barely knowing how to kick a ball and at the end actually getting the idea that, oh if I kick it and it goes in [the goal] people are going to cheer for me,” she said. As for being nominated for this month’s Citizen of the Month, Boyle said she was honored. “This community is fabulous,” she said. “Everybody within it has just been so supportive of my program and me. It feels good.”

Jail From Page 1

“We would provide to book a set number of inmates with the possibility of more. There will be an impact to our population, but we are able to mitigate it, and will collaborate with our neighbors to help them out.” Kent expects to make about $115,445 per year from the deal, with estimated revenue of $666,125 and expenses of $550,979, Kasner said. Federal Way would pay $750 per day for the five inmates ($150 each) which would bring in $273,750 per year. Kent figures it will free up another five spots per day at a cost of $180 per inmate to bring in another $328,500. A booking fee of $35 for every inmate would produce about $64,000 per year. The expenses include hiring two full-time corrections guards at a cost of $142,224 for salaries and $49,778 for benefits as well as paying $98.35 per day ($358,977 per year) to the Yakima County Jail to house as many as 10 inmates for day. Kent has a contract with Yakima to send inmates to that county when the Kent jail population overflows. “We would send our

long-term inmates to Yakima and allow us to facilitate Federal Way,” Kasner said. Yakima covers the travel costs of transporting inmates for Kent, Kasner said. Federal Way will arrange and pay for travel costs to Kent and reimburse Kent for medical transportation and medical supervision costs for inmates. Federal Way must release its inmates in the city of Federal Way unless the inmate is a Kent resident. The city jail, 1230 Central Ave. S., officially called the City of Kent Corrections Facility, opened in 1986. It houses misdemeanor offenders arrested by police as well as those sentenced to less than one year in Kent Municipal Court. The crimes include drunk driving, domestic violence, minor assaults and petty theft. Felony cases are handled by King County’s Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent or the downtown Seattle county jail. Kent’s jail has 98 beds on the hard side with a dormitory that can hold another 30-plus inmates who are on work release and return at night. The average daily population in the jail was 92 for 2018. The average daily population had hit 99 in 2017, but Kent has

kept the population down with diversion programs, including electronic home monitoring. Kent also houses at least two inmates per day for the city of Maple Valley, an agreement that began in 2015 and expires in 2020. Council members wanted to make sure Kent still has enough jail space for Kent inmates. “You don’t see this hurting our ability to handle inmates with giving up five spaces?” Councilmember Toni Troutner asked Kasner at the committee meeting. “Our jail commander looked at it, and five was a workable number based on the jail population at the time of the request,” Kasner said. Federal Way joined the cities of Auburn, Renton, Des Moines, SeaTac, Burien and Tukwila in 2009 to build the regional jail, which was expected to be less expensive than contracting with jails in other cities or counties. But the costs at the regional jail have been much higher than projected. Federal Way plans to contract with several cities or counties to handle its 50 to 60 inmates per day starting in January. Federal Way contracted with other jail facilities prior to joining the regional jail program.

Healthy Living

Beat the Summer Heat DOUG NELSON Community Center Manager

As long-time residents of the Pacific Northwest, we can’t wait for our warm, sunny days. You can also say that we suffer through all the different types of weather that fall, winter, and spring can throw at us just so we can enjoy three months of beautiful weather. And if memory serves, a Northwest icon used to sing, “The bluest skies you’ve seen are in Seattle.” Sometimes our summertime weather can get extremely hot. We don’t

experience it often, so we don’t always know what to do to stay safe. I’d like to share a few tips for staying cool when summer temperatures rise to dangerous levels. Research suggests that it can be dangerous to work out when temperatures rise above 90 degrees. Therefore, if you are an avid exerciser that refuses to let a little heat slow you down, consider getting your workout in before 8 AM. Choosing locations that offer plenty of shade or a cool breeze would also be a great option. There are many great parks and trails in Federal Way

with ample shade, and a few beach locations where a cooling breeze is likely. Temperatures are usually lower at higher elevations, so hikes, runs and bike rides in our beautiful mountain areas would be ideal. Air conditioning is your friend when the temperatures go up, and many home owners choose to go without. If this is the case at your home, then plan your day or activities around places with great air conditioning; most community centers and fitness gyms, the mall or indoor shopping areas, movie theaters, indoor sports venues, and automobiles. One note of caution though – air conditioning will dehydrate the body, so bring extra drinking water along. That leads to my next point – be sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to keep your body hydrated and functioning well. If you are exercising in warmer temperatures, plan on doubling the fluids you would usually drink before, during, and after exercise.

Fantastic, Fitness & Fun!

Last, and certainly not least – proper use of sunscreen and specifically designed workout clothing will help keep the body cool in the most extreme conditions. It is recommended that you apply sunscreen about 30 minutes prior to sun exposure, and continue to apply every 1 – 2 hours. White clothing is recommended because it reflects the sun, while darker clothing will absorb heat. You can also find exercise and outdoor clothing with built-in UV protection. Hopefully I’ve given you some helpful summertime recreation options that won’t blow your top!

POLICE BLOTTER JUNE 19 Welfare check: At about 3:28 a.m. near the 31600 block of 23rd Avenue South, a male subject was on the outside of the railing at the top of the transit center at the listed address. The male was allegedly displaying some concerning behavior, possibly intending to jump from the top of the transit center. A Federal Way police officer maintained a dialogue with the subject and was eventually able to be walked back to the parking lot by two officers.

JUNE 20 Suspicious persons: At about 4:50 p.m. near the 2600 block of SW 332nd Street, the female reporting party said both she and her husband have noted suspicious individuals going through their and their neighbor’s unsecured mailboxes. A security camera captured a male approaching the mailboxes and trying to go through them, but he was not seen taking anything. It’s unknown if this male is associated with any past thefts. The reporting party was not sure how much of her mail may have been taken.

JUNE 21 Protection order violation: At about 1:36 a.m. near the 2400 block of South 273rd Street, police witnessed a suspect actively violating a protection order at the listed location while at the front door of the protected party’s address. The suspect fled from police on foot, but was arrested shortly after pursuit began after the suspect fell into sticker bushes. Suspicious activity: At about 1:46 p.m. near the 2300 block of SW 339th Street, officers were called to

the area of 2900 SW 336th Street after a passerby reported seeing a female fall out of a truck and start running toward Fred Meyer. Officers were unable to locate any of the involved parties after they arrived on location. None of the involved parties called 911. About 15 minutes later, another passerby reported verbally arguing near the 2300 block of SW 339th Street. The females fit the description given in the first call. There were no reports of assaults. Officers checked the second location but could not find the subjects.

JUNE 22 McDonald’s assault: At about 12:40 a.m. near the 34800 block of Pacific Highway South, officers responded to a possible assault at a McDonald’s at the listed location. The caller reported being in a verbal dispute with a customer at the drive-thru window, being verbally accosted for a card-reader error. The caller confronted the suspect in the parking lot after believing he was talking disrespectfully. After attempting to photograph the car’s license plate, she believes the suspect tried to run her over as he was leaving. The suspect vehicle was not located. Officers are still waiting for video surveillance of the incident. Possible handgun threat: At about 2:18 a.m. near the 31800 block of Pacific Highway South, a female reported that she was standing somewhere near the listed location when an unknown male approached her and pointed what she believed to be a handgun at her. She then drove to Comfort Inn and called the police. She said the suspect was wearing dark clothing, possibly with a backpack. Traffic accident: At about 1:03 p.m. near Weyerhaeuser Way South and 33rd Place South, officers received two very different calls about the same traffic accident, according to the

police report. One party called 911 saying they observed a vehicle swerving behind them before it collided with their vehicle at a Weyerhaeuser roundabout, pushing their car forward. There was no reported damage to their car’s bumper, however. When the caller exited their vehicle to speak with the driver of the other car, the suspect car sped off. The caller was able to obtain the vehicle’s license plate. A short time later, according to the report, the driver of the swerving vehicle called to say he was involved in an accident at a Weyerhaeuser roundabout after the car in front of him “brake-checked” him. After that, the male said the people in the first car got out and started beating him up, giving him a swollen lip. The male refused to come to the station so his injuries could be verified, and hung up angrily on officers when they tried to question him further. When officers contacted the occupants of the first vehicle and confronted them about what the second driver had said, they confirmed they did punch him in the face and try to pull him out of the car. An officer completed an exchange of information and traffic incident form, which was provided to the occupants of the first car.

JUNE 23 Domestic violence: At about 5:15 p.m. near the 33700 block of 40th Court SW, a boyfriend and girlfriend were allegedly involved in a domestic violence incident while driving home from a funeral. The boyfriend pulled the girlfriend’s hair, punched her in the face and then pulled off the center console and started to beat her with it. The girlfriend bit her boyfriend on his face in defense. The boyfriend allegedly grabbed the wheel of the car the girlfriend was driving and on several occasions tried to turn the vehicle off and pull out the key. All of this took place while a frightened witness was in the back seat.

Witnesses sought in hit and run Mirror Staff Washington State Patrol is seeking witnesses to a hit and run after a semi-truck caused a collision on June 19 that injured a Federal Way woman on State Route 18. At approximately 6:57 p.m., WSP received a report of a collision near the Raging River, milepost 26. When troopers arrived they found a Nissan Rogue and a Tesla Model S blocking both eastbound and westbound of the highway. They determined an unknown semi-truck had caused the collision but failed to stop, according to WSP. The semi and the Nissan were traveling westbound on SR 18 and the Tesla was traveling eastbound when

the semi struck the Nissan, forcing it into the eastbound lane and causing it to collide with the Tesla. A third vehicle traveling westbound struck the Tesla. A 70-year-old Federal Way woman who was a passenger in the Tesla, and a 52-year-old Snoqualmie man who was driving the third vehicle involved in the collision, suffered minor injuries. Both were transported to Overlake Hospital. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were involved in the collision. WSP detectives are seeking any witnesses that may have information who will assist in identifying the semi that caused this collision. Contact Detective Ruth Medeiros at 425-4017788 or email at Ruth.Medeiros@wsp. wa.gov.

Time to question transparency at City Hall O

ne of the pieces of advice I gave Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell, when he was a brand new mayor and sought my opinion, was “don’t do dumb things.” Despite that pearl of wisdom, the mayor’s office just can’t seem to grasp the concept. Logic says if you do something dumb, then stop doing it. However, Ferrell’s style seems to be: if you do something dumb, deny it, then try and make it worse. Several weeks ago, the Mirror printed a front page story that cast considerable doubt on whether the city of Federal Way was following the law regarding a new court ruling from BOB Boise, Idaho, on how the ROEGNER homeless should be treated INSIDE according to the Eighth POLITICS Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” Ferrell’s office denied the Mirror staff, and my request, for more information on how protocols were being implemented to ensure compliance. Ferrell said they had reviewed the case and were fine and would not answer further questions, nor provide any additional detail on the specifics of how the law would be interpreted. Bad decision. This new ruling was front page news in two regional newspapers and of significant importance to all the cities and towns in the state. Ferrell stonewalled us and the public. Separately, we both took him to task for his continuing lack of transparency. I cited examples covering several years. Mirror staff even printed some of the questions the public was asking us. After a discussion with Ferrell, and his again denying our request to meet with the

city attorney, Ferrell agreed to let us meet with the deputy police chief and another officer to get our questions on the Boise case answered. His communications coordinator even encouraged us to hold off on other questions that had come up and ask them during the meeting with the deputy chief. Progress? Yes? No.

Two days before the meeting, Ferrell canceled the meeting without discussing it with us, saying they were not going to talk about the Boise case anymore. As readers can appreciate, each denial simply raises more questions of “why not” and contributes to making the situation worse. Ferrell has said he is afraid of being “the

poster child for the next homeless lawsuit.” I understand his concern. But that should not be a problem if they are telling the truth, and the Mirror publishing their protocols might actually help him. So why not tell us what the protocols are? Why work this hard to not See ROEGNER, Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Frightening incident in FW parking lot I am a 78-year-old woman who, on April 25, went out to dinner with 18 of my friends. After dinner my husband told me to wait while he brought our car around. I watched people go in and out of the restaurant and noticed a man with a “stove pipe” haircut and a heavy black beard enter the facility. I decided to move into the parking lot and wait for my husband. I got to the second to last car (blue) when behind me I heard shouting of “Get down, run, hide, he has a gun.” It was the man with the stove pipe haircut and he was waving a gun in the air around the parking lot. I began to look for someplace to hide. There was none. Then I noticed the last car (black) had its

back door behind the driver open. I contemplated jumping in, but at that time, his two passengers climbed into the car on the other side and the driver gunned the car. He hit me with the open door and knocked me to the ground and hit the rear of my car in which my husband had just arrived. My husband got out of our car and helped me up. While this was happening, I saw the driver of the car reach under the front seat and retrieve his gun, which he stuck in his waist band. My husband climbed into our car and said “I’ll move our car and then get his insurance information.” I said “he hit me with his car and he has a gun.” Husband thought I was talking about the first gun. He backed our car up and the black car gunned it out of the parking lot. Meanwhile the first gunman jumped over the wall and into his car and also sped away. His car was backed in, so none of the cameras

got his license plate number, and in the hysteria we did not get the black car’s number. My hand was broken and my ribs bruised. I have had surgery to put a plate and screws in my hand. It will be six more weeks before I will get the full use of my hand, if I ever do. Now for my plea: if you know anything about this incident and anyone involved, please contact the Federal Way police. Thanks and God bless. Sarah Baer, Federal Way

moved forward still by electing council member Johnson. Council member Dini Duclos pushed us forward by fighting to change a badly worded moratorium that seemed to imply apartment complexes were somehow responsible for a crime wave. Our choices matter. As former President Obama said, “We get the leaders we deserve.” Could you imagine South Africans freed from apartheid voting in a past oppressor instead of their hero Nelson Mandela? After the “Black Lives Matter” movement had begun, did you notice who the mayor and police chief were in Ferguson, Missouri? It was inconceivable given the demographics of that city. Our votes matter. We need a city council that will represent our path forward, not backward. One thing is clear, whether we vote or not, we will justly get the leaders we deserve.

Pride flag I’m a 30-year resident of Federal Way and a Vietnam veteran. I want to thank our Mayor Jim Ferrell for standing his ground pertaining the flying of the gay pride flag over City Hall. This political correctness is getting entirely out of control. Now, Pride Month, and Black History Month. What next? Anglo-Saxon Month? If we do, then don’t you think they’ll want their flag up at City Hall also? And believe me, if they don’t have a flag, they’ll come up with one. Only the three that fly now should fly. Thank you mayor! Timothy Bailey Auburn

Committee forms to implement affordable housing By Aaron Kunkler akunkler@soundpublishing.com

Elected officials and private companies have formed a committee to examine ways to address a lack of affordable housing in King County following the release of a task force report late last year. The Affordable Housing Committee held its first meeting on June 21. The meeting was attended by local government leaders as well as representatives from corporations like Microsoft and Puget Sound Sage. The committee is chartered for at least five years and will develop ways to create, preserve and enhance affordable and low-income housing in the county. “There’s 100,000 families, working people, who are one bad incident, one broken down car, one injury away from losing their homes,” said committee member and King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci. The committee will be working along several broad guidelines that range from increasing collaboration between local and regional organizations,

While it is a public-private endeavor, committee business is subject to public disclosure requests and members were asked to use or copy their official county email when discussing relevant information. City representatives at the meeting were also asked to return to their municipalities and see if local governments were interested in utilizing the recently approved HB 1406. It provides municipalities with a state sales tax credit to encourage investments in affordable and supportive housing. A portion of the sales taxes will be retained or a local levy can be created to fund affordable and supportive housing for people at or below 60 percent of the county median income. Larger cities and counties can only spend funds on affordable and supportive housing while cities with populations less than 100,000 can additionally

A Note From the Fire Chief The warm spring created a perfect growing season for grass and brush in our area and the expected hot dry summer just around the corner is a recipe for brush fires. We need your help. These types of fire are very preventable. Discarded smoking materials and fireworks are common a cause of brush fires. Please be mindful of what you are doing and call us immediately if you see a fire or if you inadvertently cause one. These fires burn rapidly and unpredictably. Protect your home this fire season by trimming back bushes 3 feet from the house, avoid storing combustibles next to your home and clean pine needles and leaves from your gutters. If you won’t be home this fourth of July be sure to run the sprinkler, wet down your shake roof, and ask your neighbors to keep an eye on your property.

A brush fire can quickly become a house fire if it’s not stopped in time.

If you are on the Celebration trail look for the 911 markers, every 1/10th of a mile that help us locate you on the trail. Just tell us the number (2.3 in the example) and we can drive right to it.

Todd Beamer basketball to host first youth Hoop Camp It’s designed for students to learn fundamental basketball skills

Champions on the basketball court are made in the off-season. This summer, youth in Federal Way can hone their skills at the first Todd Beamer Green and Blue Hoop Camp at Todd Beamer High School. The three-day camp is designed for students entering fourth grade through eighth grade to learn fundamental basketball skills such as ball handling, dribbling and shooting as well as individual and team defense techniques. The camp will be led by Todd Beamer’s head boys basketball coach Brent Brilhante and associate head coach Collin Sawyer. Brilhante is in his seventh year coaching at Todd Beamer High School,

and has coached in the Federal Way Public Schools district for 16 years. Sawyer is in his tenth year coaching at TBHS, and has spent a total of 26 years coaching in the Auburn, Tacoma and Federal Way school districts. “The coaches at Todd Beamer High School have seen an increased passion for basketball in our community,” Sawyer said. “We wanted to be able to assist in the growth and development of our student athletes.” At camp, young hoopers will compete in friendly dribbling and shooting contests, along with other games because basketball is also about having fun, Sawyer said. The camp registration costs $75 and includes a camp T-shirt and basketball, prizes and awards,

Learn more For more information or to register, contact Collin Sawyer at 253-243-5454 or collinsawyer@yahoo. com. and the opportunity to hear from guest speakers. Space is limited, so hopeful participants are encouraged to sign up before the price increases on July 5. In addition to the head coaches, Hoop Camp will be led with assistance from the current Titan basketball student athletes, Sawyer said. Todd Beamer Green and Blue Hoop Camp takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 22-24 at Todd Beamer High School, 35999 16th Ave S. in Federal Way.

TJ basketball hosting fourth-annual kids camp By Olivia Sullivan osullivan@fedwaymirror.com

Thomas Jefferson Basketball Skills and Competition Camp is right around the corner. From July 8-11, this camp will help athletes in fourth through eighth grades improve their basketball skills and creating lasting memories on the court. Athletes will perfect their skills with fundamental drills in the morning, then break out into competition games in the afternoon, said TJHS head basketball coach Sudon DeSuze. The camp, open to boys and girls, will provide each athlete with a T-shirt, a

basketball, and personal evaluations at the end of the camp. Kids are encouraged to bring water and a sack lunch — and don’t forget athletic shoes and a positive attitude. The four-day camp is priced at $100 for day-of registration. Single days of camp are available for $30. High school coaches will direct the camp with former and current players serving as the hands-on counselors and assistant coaches for the participants. This will be summer camp number four led by DeSuze. A Thomas Jefferson alumni himself, DeSuze has been coaching high school

DeSuze has been head coach of the Raiders for three seasons. Also coaching at camp is TJHS assistant coach and JV coach Mo Anderson. Deemed a “Federal Way legend” by DeSuze, Anderson began the Federal Way-based AAU program Pure Athletic Training and Mentoring. As a Federal Way High School alum, Anderson also played at Highline College, Western Washington University, and has continued to play in semi-pro leagues and pro-am events over the years. “This is a fundraiser for the program, but it gives us a chance to connect with the boys and girls within our community,” DeSuze said. “It also is cool to see the high school players connecting with the youth, and creating relationships and memories.” Financial scholarships as well as multi-family or sibling discounts are available upon request. TJ’s basketball camp will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 8-11 at Thomas Jefferson High School, 4248 S. 288th St., Auburn.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE FOR NEWSPAPER The City of Federal Way received a petition to reform the North Lake Management District Number 2 (District), and passed a resolution of intention to do so. The resolution (No. 19-758) set a public hearing date to consider putting the formation of the District to a vote of the affected property owners and proceeding with the formation of the District. The public hearing will take place on July 16, 2019 at 7:00 P.M. in the City of Federal Way City Council Chambers at 33325 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA. 98003. The nature of the proposed activity to be undertaken by the District is the continued implementation of the North Lake Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan (IAVMP) that supports water quality monitoring, noxious weed control, and community involvement and education. The proposed rate structure is based on equal charges for similar parcels. Annual assessments are proposed as follows: undeveloped parcels with lakefront footage, $0.85 per lakefront foot; single family developed parcels, $125.00; single family developed parcels with deeded lake access, $90.00; commercial property with lakefront footage, $1.00 per lakefront foot; and the Department of Fish and Wildlife parcel with a public boat launch, $4,000.00. The annual assessment collected for the first year of the lake management district will be $15,288.00. An automatic inflation increase based upon the Seattle Consumer Price Index, not to exceed five percent in any given year, is proposed for each type of assessment beginning in the second year of the district. The proposed assessments will be collected annually for the duration of the lake management district. The proposed duration of the District is ten years from the date the District is actually formed by ordinance.

A Federal Way man died June 20 after he was pinned under a car at a San Diego campground, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Marlene From Page 1

At this time, Marlene’s was one of the first natural food stores to open in the South Puget Sound. Her business plan was always natural, instinctive, and right on target, Gebhardt said. In 1989, it moved into a storefront on the west end of Gateway Center Plaza, finally moving into its permanent home in 2004 — a two-story storefront on the east end of Gateway Center Plaza, the former REI building, near I-5 in Federal Way. In 1996, Beadle decided to expand to Tacoma and opened a then-12,000-squarefoot storefront at 2951 S. 38th St. In 2014, the store was expanded another 3,000 square feet. “One of the hardest things is to come in here and not see her every day,” Gebhardt said. Gebhardt, now 62, began working at the store when she was 19 years old. Beadle’s natural foods journey started at age 42, an age where most people wind down, said Lehman, who began working at Marlene’s as a teen. Beadle’s son, Tim Beadle, also works at the store as the maintenance manager. “The store was her fourth baby,” Lehman said with a laugh. “And we’re pretty sure it was her favorite,” Gebhardt added. A few of Beadle’s grandkids work at the store, too. The intention was never to make it a family business as “she didn’t expect us to be, but was thrilled that we were,” Gebhardt said. After starting with just three employees, Marlene’s now has 182 employees between both store locations and celebrated 40 years of business in 2016. While some people may say she was a micromanager, her daughters agree it was just Beadle’s way of keeping up with the store’s happenings and striving for excellence in all aspects of the business. The common memory most employees share is Beadle’s instructions on how to wring out wet towels. There was a specific way to fold and twist the towels to make them barely damp and also stop bacteria from growing, Beadle would explain. “People still remember that,” Gebhardt said. “Even when she was ill and had caretakers, that was the first thing her caretaker learned.” Beadle also made her own trail mix, Marlene’s Merry Mix. The ingredient precision is still practiced to this day: almonds hand-sliced down the middle to ensure all pieces are the same size, thus making it easier to eat. “She checked on her store all the time

… she just loved being here. She loved this whole environment. She loved helping people,” Gebhardt said, noting Beadle would often share updates of her health journey through employee newsletters or in her daily chats with regular customers. Beadle was happiest when she saw customers with shopping carts filled with colorful produce and the basics for fresh, healthy meals, her daughters agreed. She was a family-oriented person with three kids, six grandkids, and two great-grandkids. In 2016, the entire 18-member family went to Hawaii to celebrate Marlene and Irv Beadle’s 60th wedding anniversary. As high school sweethearts married for nearly 64 years, Gebhardt remembers the couple saying “we love each other more every year.” Beadle enjoyed traveling all over the world alone and with her husband. She went on hiking trips, biking trips, and had a knack for gardening. She learned to sail. She ran her first marathon at age 50. “People say ‘live life to the fullest,’ boy… she really did,” Gebhardt said. Both a community and outdoor aficionado herself, Beadle was active in environmental matters and various organizations throughout King County, such as Federal Way’s West Hylebos Wetlands, senior sports teams, and the Federal Way Historical Society, among others. She served on various executive boards, such as the Northwest division of the Natural Products Association (previously known as the National Nutritional Foods Association) and other grassroots organizations focused on non-GMO product advocacy. Beadle’s passion for the arts was also honored through the naming of “Marlene’s Mezzanine” at the Performing Arts and Event Center in Federal Way. Lehman said she will miss seeing her mother’s touch throughout the community. “‘What would you have done next?’ or ‘How much more would you be involved with the Hylebos? Would you be on a board somewhere still?’” Lehman said. “When I think of mom, I think about … [how] she was with family and how she wanted to make this world healthier.”

Federal Way resident Del A. Carlino is known as the unofficial “Mayor of Lake Dolloff.” The 95-year-old World War II Army Air Corps veteran shared his stories of war and roller skates on a recent afternoon. Carlino was born and raised in Seattle, prior to enlisting in the Air Corps

at age 17; his father signed for him to join, he said. A first-generation Italian Catholic, Carlino attended Franklin High School in Seattle before his service. He was deployed in the Southeast Pacific theater, specifically to the C.B.I., or China-Burma-India Triangle. Throughout his more than 25 missions, Carlino flew Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber planes and a Douglas C-47 Skytrain for military transport. In the Second World War, Carlino also flew his C-46 Twin prop cargo plane “over the hump.” Traveling from India to China, this terminology describes flying over the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains. Throughout his career, Carlino and his plane were escorted by combat pilot Greg “Pappy” Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron. Boyington was the recipient of a Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. When Carlino was in the service, he was given the opportunity to select the type of gun he wanted to carry. He chose a .45-caliber automatic handgun. He often kept his gun in an inner pocket of his leather jacket with strips of bullets strapped around his waist. He also wore a second belt around his midsection for currency safekeeping. “I wore two belts

underneath my clothes. In one I had $500 bills in there,” he said. “A lot of them.” Eventually, Carlino was transferred to a ship traveling from China to Seattle, which he was aboard for more than a month. “That boat… we had all kinds of trouble coming back to Seattle because the Japanese had sowed mines around the islands in the South Pacific where we had to go through,” he said. Trailing an outfit on floaters, there were two or three explosions that reminded the crew of the dangerous waters below. The trip did bring one sweet surprise: Carlino tried ice cream for the first time during this voyage. “Now I’m nuts about ice cream,” he said with a smile. Upon arriving in Seattle, “they said ‘by the way, you’re the only one that’s getting off here,’” he recalled. Bounding down the gangplank as the boat pulled into Seattle around midnight, Carlino was met with a five-piece band and, in the crowd, his sister, whom he had not seen in nearly four years. “There was music there. Everybody was yelling and screaming on our boat … I’ll never forget that as long as I live,” he said of the joyous welcome home. See STORY, Page 23

Story From Page 22

The first thing he had in mind once he was out of the service was roller skating. “I really loved to roller skate, I always wanted to own a rink,” he said. Carlino and Gino, his friend and eventual business partner, were roller skating champions, especially in the sport of skate dancing. Carlino and his then-girlfriend, Doris, were stars of the rink, he said. To enter the rink, he would often lift his partner up in the air for their signature move “the Statue of Liberty.” “I was a ham,” Carlino said with a laugh. He and Doris eventually got married. Carlino and Gino opened up a skating rink in Kirkland, which they operated for two years. Then Carlino opened up a roller rink near Lake Sammamish for four years. He also operated a third rink in Birch Bay near Bellingham. At this time, Carlino was also building custom skates for dance skaters that included a slipper-style boot of the skate. He also invented a new toe piece, which improved spinning while dancing and made for safer, easier stops. These upgraded skates sold all over the United States, and also to Italy and Germany, he said. “He’d make the shoe, I built the frames, we put them together and sold them,” he said of his collaboration with

Friday, June 28, 2019

an Italian shoemaker. Carlino found his start in his day job when a manager from Huntington Rubber Company in Seattle reached out to request a pair of customized skates for his daughter. Carlino agreed, and later went on to work for Huntington and Beloit Corporation, working his way up to be vice president of the company after 39 years. Carlino moved to Federal Way in 1957. “I’ve been all over paper mills throughout the world,” he said. Carlino traveled the whole world with the Huntington business and saw “whatever I didn’t see in the army.” In Federal Way, Carlino built a home for his mother adjacent to his home near Lake Dolloff. His neighbor is a friend of more than 50 years, Don Amundson. Amundson attended Federal Way High School and, standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall, was a star on the basketball team. The two met and remained friends when Amundson received a full-ride scholarship to play basketball at Seattle University in 1959. Carlino and Amundson now live three houses away from each other and have lunch every Tuesday together at the Federal Way Senior Center. The two share stories, advice, and life lessons with the company of their partners over the weekly meals. According to Carlino, the secret to a long life is to let things go. “Just ignore a lot of the stuff people throw at you,” he said. “Just let it pass by, it isn’t worth the stress.”
