Approximately 180 Federal Way residents and businesses received checks from the city in September, with amounts ranging from about $34 to more than $23,000. In total, Federal Way paid out approximately $188,000 in September, as part of a routine process for property mitigation projects that were unable to be completed by the city within a five-year time frame. Chris Carrel, spokesman for the city, said this is something that happens about once or twice a year, and is prompted mostly by the fact that the city itself often ends up being short of funding for these mitigation projects. “We collect transportation impact mitigation fees on a regular basis, and refund fees on a regular basis,” Carrel said. “The refunds happen one to two times a year, typically. We’re allowed to collect the fees for projects that are part of the city’s six-year Transportation Improvement Plan. If a project doesn’t go forward…there’s not enough money to fund the project, or any other reason, we have to refund the fees from the parties we collect [ more REFUND, page 10 ]

Sand sculpting championship seeks new location Organizer says event will return to FW in 2012 BY ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
The annual sand sculpting championship is expected to return in 2012, likely at a new location in Federal Way. Nearly 11,000 people attended the 2011 Sand Sculpting Tour of Champions, which ran Aug. 18 to Sept. 5 at the former Toys ‘R’ Us parking lot on 20th Avenue South. As the city moves forward on plans for a performing arts and civic center at that site, organizers are searching for a permanent home.
“The idea is to keep it in the downtown core,” said John Hatcher, organizer and head of a nine-member Federal Way Community Council board. “We need to build on that window and make it one of our premier summer events. It’s kind of in a nice place on the calendar.” The World Championship of Sand Sculpting came to Federal Way in 2010 after spending nearly 20 years in Harrison Hot Springs, B.C. Although this summer’s weather was more reliable, [ more SAND, page 10 ]

State auditor race opens doors Heads up political fans: another race in 2012 just got a lot more interesting and a lot more local. Recently, State Auditor Brian Sonntag announced that he will not run for re-election next year. Sonntag had been considering a run for governor, but pulled out a few weeks ago. He then sounded like he was planning to run for re-election. So his surprise retirement caught many unprepared. How is the decision of a state official from Pierce County considered local? Because state auditor is the job District 30 Democratic State Rep. Mark Miloscia has always wanted. He announced his candidacy within days of Sonntag’s statement and is already raising money. Republicans have never been successful in defeating Miloscia. The vacating of his position will make things exciting. Previously, Democrats had been looking for a candidate to run against first-term House member Katrina Asay. Now they will also have to defend Miloscia’s position. While it is early and only speculation, if Miloscia does follow through and run for auditor, there are several well known possible candidates for his House seat. The logical Republican names are Federal Way City Councilman Jim Ferrell, who ran for the House before; Councilwoman Linda Kochmar; Councilman Jack Dovey; Federal Way School Board President Tony Moore, who ran for the Senate last year; and fellow school board member Ed Barney, who ran last year. Also, if his run for the South King Fire and Rescue board of commissioners comes up short,
Jerry Galland could be interested. He also ran for the Legislature before. The Democrats do not have a deep bench to pull from, but Federal Way City Councilman Roger Freeman could be a possibility. Or would Carol Gregory give it another try? If he doesn’t get elected to the city council, could Roger Flygare be interested? Or Keith Tyler, if he doesn’t defeat Dini Duclos for the council? And regardless of whether she retains her council seat, could Duclos be interested? If so, which party would she represent? At one point, the Democrats thought Amye Bronson-Doherty might have a future in higher office. She is stepping down from the school board and says no. Some thought Liz Drake might be interested, but she stopped her campaign for the school board to take a job with the school district. So, probably not. Although, if Drake’s contract with the district is not renewed next spring, then who knows? What if two or more council members get in the race? Won’t that make council meetings more interesting? And if one of the council members runs and wins, then that would set up an appointment for a new council member. Or, what if Moore and Barney run and and one of them wins? Then there would be a school board vacancy to fill. Since other Democratic names being floated for state auditor are former political powerhouse Brian Ebersole and current House member Chris Reykdal, what happens six months from now if Miloscia changes his mind and all these [ more ROEGNER page 5 ] Bob Roegner

I used to laugh at blonde jokes. Really, I did. But lately, I’ve been looking through a different lens, and have begun to wonder why we think it’s OK to stereotype any set of women and girls as stupid and ditzy, and why anyone would think that’s funny. In a video produced by Global Girl Media, girls talk about why their voices are important. I am struck by the fact that there were people who knew it was important for girls to own this truth — that their voices are important — and that there are so many girls who need to be reminded that is true. One visual in the clip proclaims, “Don’t see only the physical. What we carry within is far more precious than the eye could see.” We live in a culture that, for all its progress, still provides an uneven playing field in regards to gender. Women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar men earn in our country (infoplease.com). U.S women are more likely to live in poverty than men (census.gov). And in fully 92 percent of all domestic violence incidents, crimes are committed by men against women (aardvarc.org). Unhealthy gender roles for both men and women are exacerbated by media. Two of my biggest pet peeves are: 1) sitcoms that portray men as well-meaning oafs, and women as long-suffering superwomen; and 2) reality TV. The latter was recently the subject of research by the Girl Scout Research Institute, with thought-provoking findings. For instance, in a report titled “Real to Me,” findings show that girls who watch reality television on a regular basis think gossiping is a normal part of a relationship between girls. In addition, about 38 percent of regular viewers think that a girl’s value is based on how she looks, and that being mean earns you more respect than being nice (girlscouts.org). To be fair, this research also showed that 75 percent of girls said that watching reality television inspired conversation with parents or friends, and that diverse populations were depicted in the shows. So, if your daughter — or son — is watching this stuff, be sure to have conversations, especially about what is real and what is not. (See the “Real to Me Tip Sheet for Parents” at girlscouts.org) And remember, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder and so much more than skin deep. Keep your attention on those attributes that make people who they are on the inside, regardless of gender or hair color. Pay attention to the conversations you are having with your children. Make certain to counter media messages you don’t agree with by questioning superficial, staged performances. Encourage them to think critically about personalities

The good, the bad and the ugly Unfortunately, the good news ended over three or four years ago when the housing and banking crisis hit during the Bush Administration. Since then, it has been all bad news as we keep going downhill. The economy is suppose to be in a “recovery mode” and the stock market made some impressive gains in October; unfortunately, it hasn’t translated into job gains as the unemployment rate is stuck around 9 percent. While European nations like Greece and Italy try to deal with their mounting debt crisis on an almost daily basis, our country also struggles with our burdening economy and mounting debt crisis. To deal with this issue, a super-committee of six Republicans and six Democrats (co-chaired by our own Sen. Patty Murray) must come up with a plan to deal with this problem or automatic cuts will take effect, which will be bad news for everyone. Like our country, our state (and the Legislature) continues to face an ongoing budget crisis as tax revenues from the sales and property taxes continue to decline due to economy and falling house prices. And like our state, each time this happens, not only our state but our school district has to make painful budget cuts. But now it is just getting plain ugly as we are “scraping the bottom of the [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

And just to keep you thinking through the endless possibilities, what if one of the candidates decides to run for Miloscia’s seat, but switches from one political party to the other? Far-fetched? Maybe not as much
So what will happen? Jim Ferrell could have looked like the front-runner, but in a surprise, he says he definitely won’t run for the House. With that announcement, Ferrell’s political options are dwindling. We’ll check on him later. Most likely to run at this point are Republicans Tony Moore and

We now have no other choice but to face the inevitable question of “do we balance the equation by adding tax revenues as part of the solution and if so, where do those tax revenues come from?� At the national level, the poor can’t afford any more tax hikes and the middle class are struggling given the state of our economy. So the obvious choice is to tax the rich even more because it will impact them less. The problem is the Republicans adamantly oppose that and they control the House of Representatives; hence, you have a stalemate in Congress. At the state level, the problem is the Washington state voters who already rejected a state income tax on the rich. Although Gov. Chris Gregoire’s budget cuts did not include all-day kindergarten funding, Federal Way schools could take another major hit in levy equalization funding, which the governor did cut. Those cuts would have to be determined by the school board if the Legislature does not reinstate the funding. The biggest item in our school district is staffing, and any cuts in staffing will impact the ability of our district to meet its mission. That is a given. Think twice before you vote against another measure to add revenue for our state’s coffers. Ask yourself the $64,000 question: “Am I willing to accept the disastrous consequences it will have on our children/students and the residents of this state if we do not have the vital revenue we need to support our most basic and essential programs?� If your answer is yes, then prepare for the “worst of the worst� because it will get ugly.

Howl-O-Ween: Dogs and humans party together BY JOANN HUGILL For the Mirror
On Oct. 29, the French Lake Off-Leash Dog Park in Federal Way is where the second annual HowlO-Ween party was held for the dogs, sponsored by Park Pals. The party had a variety of events. There was the bone hunt, and the most popular event, the costume contest. Another event was to jump the through the hula hoop and run through the tunnel in a timed event. We had contests for the best bark, the best kiss and the best trick. The bone hunt was more of a treat to the black crows. The best bark and kiss and trick were fun to watch, since it was judged by the audience’s loudest clapping. There were some great barkers; a Husky won that one. The best trick went to a Border Collie mix, who loved to dance and dance.
The best kiss was won by an Irish Wolfhound. Quite a slurp! There were a variety of dogs that entered the costume contest, from the smallest to the largest. Cute, scary, funny, most original. The dog and owner pairs were great too. The costume contest brings out the kid in us. We all look forward to what we are going to see. There were cameras shooting everywhere. The party brought people and dogs together to have a good time. The sun helped
The second annual Howl-O-Ween Party at French Lake Off-Leash Dog Park had plenty of sun, dogs and humans dressed in all kind of costumes. Park Pals calendars were also on sale and were quite a success with the park patrons. COURTESY PHOTOS the mood very much. Park Pals sold the 2012 calendars at the event for $10 each and they will be available at different
locations around town this week. To learn more, visit www.parkpals.org for the location nearest you. Thanks to all of you for
your donations. Park Pals is dedicated to the French Lake Off-Leash Dog Park in an effort to help with improvements and expenses

Way Police Department’s volunteer coordinator. “We provide fingerprint services for citizens. CPLs, employment services, and volunteers provide that service,â€? she said. “So without volunteers providing that, we’re unable to provide fingerprint services. But, it really takes the right person. It’s (a position) that’s during the day‌ you have to have dexterity to roll the fingerprints, and the visual acuity to see if you captured the detail.â€? Jackson said that previous volunteers have come and go for this particular position, something that is detrimental to the detail-oriented nature of the position. Norman noted that this position does not require the volunteers to fingerprint people who have been arrested, but rather is focused on the technical and legal needs of people. “It’s people applying to be teachers, or applying for a concealed weapons permit,â€? he said.
ECAT The ECAT (Empty Car Auto Theft) program is a behind the scenes program that requires volunteers to move semi-retired police vehicles around the city, Norman said. It has a slightly different schedule than most.
www.federalwaymirror.com Volunteers move the vehicles at one point in the day, and then come back and move them again later in the day. If the volunteer help isn’t available, Norman said, then those vehicles stay at police headquarters and lose their usefulness.
Shopping carts The Shopping Cart Recovery Team is a program that roams the city looking for abandoned shopping carts. Volunteers return the carts to their business of origin, or have unidentified carts broken down into scrap metal for recycling and other uses. The team has recovered 3,456 carts and returned them to their proper owners. The effort has saved those businesses more than $483,000 in replacement costs. “The Shopping Cart program is currently staffed with five people,� Norman said. “And that works, and it’s a functioning program. But, that’s pretty tenuous.� With just that small force of five, Norman said the effectiveness of the shopping cart team could be greatly reduced if just one or two members were to leave the team, or were unable to participate on the days needed.

projects. In 2011, that five-year mark was reached for many projects. For the most part, Carrel said, the projects were unable to be completed because of financial shortfalls. City finance director Tho Kraus echoed Carrel’s comments, saying the money paid in September was for projects that were unable to be completed. “The city collects fees to mitigate the impacts of develop-

Even with the recent budgetary shortfalls the city has experienced, the city is bound by its own laws, and state laws, to keep local roads usable and safe for residents.

contests and an array of sand art to complement the main sculptures. “We’ve had some good vendors who have carried the debt on to the next year,� Hatcher said. “The business community has helped us foot the bill through the tough times.� Hatcher said the search for revenue and fundraisers has already started for 2012. One of the bigger challenges is raising awareness. He suggested some sort of banner that spans 320th Street to alert residents and visitors of the championship. Organizers would also like to see 50 or 60 local vendors and more artists participating. “It’s just a building process,� Hatcher said. “The initial project that was brought to us was out of proportion for the demographics (of the Federal Way area). We brought it much closer to being completely successful.�
signals, the city would not be able to maintain these mandated standards, and congestion would worsen in the city, and would be in violation of city and state law.� One of the most illustrative examples of the city’s TIP in action, and the mitigation fees needed, is the long and extensive work that has been taking place on Pacific Highway South for a number of years.

attendance for the 2011 event fell below the goal of 20,000. The 2010 competition attracted 19,848 paying guests. Although still a work in progress, the goal is to make the championship a signature attraction for Federal Way. The event draws sculptors from all over the world as well as visitors from across the region and country. “It’s still considered by the artists as one of the premier events of the year-long circuit,� Hatcher said. In June, the Federal Way City Council extended an additional $25,000 in funding, on top of an already earmarked $23,000, for the 2011 sand sculpting competition. The additional money will come from the city’s lodging tax fund, which is designed to create a financial source for tourism. Despite garnering regional and nationwide media attention over the course of a month, the 2010 event finished nearly $50,000 in debt; organizers vowed to repay vendors without city assistance. The 2011 event, which also depended heavily on community volunteers and service clubs, came very close to breaking even, Hatcher said. This year’s championship featured fewer contestants but more daily activities, such as the “Quicksand� speed-sculpting

ment,� Kraus said. “The refunds totaling (approximately) $190,000 were made to current property owners due to the city not being able to spend the mitigation fees collected within the five-year window for specific transportation projects. Because the fees were not spent, per state law, the city must return the fees with interest.� The city has a six-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for determining where best

at (253) 835-7688. Anyone in the region is welcome to apply. Residency in Federal Way is not a requirement. Applicants will undergo a background check, then submit to a polygraph examination. Jackson said these more stringent requirements are needed because of the nature of the volunteer work. The average time commitment is two to four hours per week, but many volunteers give much more of their time. An added benefit of volunteering for the police department, Norman noted, is the fact it’s good resume fodder and opens up avenues to possible employment with the city from time to time. Both Norman and Jackson feel the volunteer program is an excellent resource for Federal Way’s residents and police. “The more the community is involved in the police department, and vice versa, the more the police department is involved in the community, I think leads to greater success overall,� Norman said. “Our volunteers help to make the most of what we’re able to do in our community, to really augment and support our mission to make the most of our resources,� Jackson said. “That really helps us do a better job for the community to provide more.�

Veterans Day honors military veterans
V
eterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on Nov. 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on Nov. 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. Congress amended this act on Nov. 8, 1954, replacing “Armistice� with Veterans. It has been known as Veterans Day since.
A day to honor our veterans is like none other. Many of these folks gave their life, limb and sometimes sanity to maintain a free democratic existence in this country and many others. Without these veterans, a number of rights we have as U.S. citizens would simply not exist. Following are some of their stories. We encourage the Federal Way community to support veterans and all that they have given so that we may continue to lead our lives as a free country.

The first is to make sure that these proud warriors are remembered Ray correctly for their service. Stewart, stewart in Vietnam 74, said the “ultimate goal is to write a comprehensive history of Marine armor.” The second, and perhaps more important part, is to make sure the friends and families of these men know what it was their fathers and grandfathers did in Vietnam. Stewart said the MCVTHF has approximately 800 members spread across the United States at this time.

Are you a hoarder? BY JASON COLEMAN Special to The Mirror
This decade has given birth to numerous reality television shows. Most of us have watched “Survivor,� “The Amazing Race� or one of the dozens of other reality shows. Shows depicting tattoo artists, pawn shops, storage unit wars, fishermen and singers give viewers a wide range of choices. These shows have come a long way from what is known as the granddaddy of the reality TV genre, “Candid Camera,� which made its debut in 1948. One of the reality shows that grabs my attention is “Hoarders.� According to the “Hoarders� website, this show takes a fascinating look inside the lives of two different people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of personal crisis. Each story features a house filled with personal belongings and garbage that has been hoarded for years. These houses are cluttered with possessions, trash, human and animal waste, and even dead animals.

The unbeaten Eagles will host Eastlake at 7 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Stadium Saturday, Nov. 12. Third-ranked Eastlake, who spent a lot of the season as the top-ranked team in 4A, demolished Jefferson Friday, 48-0. The Wolves’ only loss came in the KingCo title game two weeks ago to Woodinville, 17-14. Eastlake features an explosive offense led by tailback Ryan Lewis. Lewis finished the regular season with 1,299 yards on only 120 carries for an average of nearly 11 yards a touch. The 6-foot, 185-pound Lewis also tallied 20 touchdowns. He added 146 yards and three TDs during the win over TJ before sitting out a bulk of the second half to rest for the Eagles. Eastlake’s senior quarterback Keegan Kemp has thrown for over 1,000 yards with eight touchdown passes this season. But most of Kemp’s damage was [ more FOOTBALL page 19 ]

a 22nd-place finish; Beamer boys end up 13th in team standings BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The 5-kilometer course over the hills at the Sun Willows Golf Course have become very familiar to the Thomas Jefferson High School girls cross country team over the years. For the 10th time in the last 11 years, the Raider girls made the trek to the Tri-Cities to compete at the Class 4A State Cross Country Championships. Jefferson finished
up in ninth-place overall in the team standings with 249 points. Tahoma, who the Raiders beat to win the South Puget Sound League North Division championship, won the Class 4A team title with 88 points. Jefferson was led by the 22ndplace finish by senior Leah Kiyohara in 19:07.4. It was the second year in a row that Kiyohara has been the Raiders’ leading finisher at the state meet. A season ago, she finished 24th overall as a junior. Senior Amanda Ditzhazy ended up in 73rd place and senior Vanessa Church was 83rd to help the Raiders finish with 249 team points. Bellarmine Prep was second (99 points), Redmond was third (100) and Lewis and Clark finished fourth (140). Despite the impressive team [ more X-COUNTRY page 19 ]

done on the ground. He finished the season with over 500 yards rushing and 10 touchdown runs. The Eastlake defense has also been a very good group this season. The Wolves have allowed just 73 points during the first three quarters in their 10 games this year and have been extremely tough against opposing teams’ run games. Eastlake is allowing less than 100 yards on the ground, which is the Eagles’ bread and butter. “They are good,� said Federal Way head coach John Meagher. “Their tailback is fast and pretty good. They have some good athletes and they are big up front. They try to muscle
you around a little bit.� But the Eagles will be playing in front of a raucous crowd at Federal Way Memorial Stadium again. The Eagles earned the home-field advantage throughout the state playoffs by winning the South Puget Sound League South Division. “I think it’s big to play here again,� Meagher said. “We haven’t been behind yet on this field this season. It makes a big difference knowing you have a home game with your home fans and your band and everything. It makes a difference.� Friday night’s win over the Panthers (4-6) was the first postseason win by any Federal Way school district football team on the turf at

performance by Jefferson, it was Decatur’s Tori Zellerhoff who had the best finish of any individual runner in the district. The senior ended up taking 12th-place overall in the Class 3A race Saturday at Sun Willows. Zellerhoff finished the 5-kilometer race in 18:55.5. North Central’s Katie Knight won the 3A race in 17:10.6. On the boys’ side, the Todd Beamer Titans finished up in 15th place in the team standings with 366 points. Gig Harbor won the Class 4A title with 55 points. The Titans were led by the 58thplace performance of sophomore Haftom Tafere, who ran the 5-kilo-
1976, according to Meagher. During that season, Federal Way High School advanced to the state championship game, where they lost to Snohomish. “I have never played in a playoff game on this field,� May said. “We are just on to the next one and making history.� The Eagles are hoping to make history against Eastlake with their best lineup on the field. Federal Way played against Snohomish without the services of its 6-foot, 310-pound defensive tackle Uso Olive.

Last week, the Gators beat Kennedy Catholic in a loser-out game. Kennedy downed Decatur, 6-0, in both teams’ season opener in September. “This team has faced many obstacles this season and they have continued to battle despite them all,� said head coach Christy Overby. “It would have been easy for them to pack things up and call it quits after the first few weeks, but they haven’t. They keep fighting every week.� Decatur and Capital played to a 2-2 tie Ashley Graves during the 80-minute regulation and 10-minute overtime session, necessitating the shootout. The Gators’ goalkeeper, Ericka Budinich, came up big during the penalty-kick shootout. Senior Ashley Graves tallied both of Decatur’s goals during regulation in the 10th and 66th minutes. Graves leads the Gators with 13 goals this season. The win over Capital sets
www.federalwaymirror.com up a first-round matchup with Everett at 7:30 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 9, in the Class 3A tournament. Everett (17-1-1) lost its first game of the season Thursday in the District 1 Championship game to Meadowdale, 2-0. The Gators have turned their season around since starting the year 0-3-0, winning eight of their last 10 games. “To be honest there is no simple answer (to the better play),� Overby said. “The girls are the key and getting healthy, of course, helps a great deal. But we have battled with getting healthier than losing a player again so the key is again truly in the hearts of the players. The core of this team continues to battle.�
Beamer 1, Curtis 0 The Titans struck fast and made it stand Saturday during their victory at Art Crate Stadium in Graham. Beamer senior Breanna Straus tallied the only goal of the game just one minute in against the Curtis Vikings in the winnerto-state, loser-out West Central/Southwest District Tournament. The victory earns the
Titans (14-1-3) a matchup against the Issaquah Eagles in the opening round of the Class 4A State Girls Soccer Tournament. Beamer will host Issaquah at 5:30 p.m. at Federal Way Memorial Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 9. Issaquah (9-5-2) finished second in the KingCo Conference, losing to Skyline in the league’s championship game, 2-1, in overtime. Saturday’s Breanna Straus win over Curtis was Beamer’s second of the season over the Vikings and Straus’ goal was her fifth of the season. Junior Jenny Hoefel leads the Titans with 16 and Jasmine Brilliante chipped in 11. The shutout was Beamer goalkeeper Meghan Graf ’s 12th of the season.

Bellarmine, the champions of the Narrows League, Lindsey Dahl jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first seven minutes of the contest. But TJ came back thanks to the two goals from Dahl and another one from freshman Chentay Warnes to pull within one goal of sending
the game to overtime. The loss ends TJ’s season after finishing fifth in the SPSL North Division. The Raiders needed to win their final game of the regular season to even qualify for the postseason. It also ends the brilliant career of Dahl. The two goals Saturday was Dahl’s ninth multi-goal game of the season. The senior had a grand total of 28 goals in Jefferson’s 18 matches this year and 48 in the last two years.

With Bellarmine leading 4-3 with just over a minute left to play in regulation, it looked like TJ senior Lindsey Dahl had tied the game up with her third goal of the day. But the referee ruled that Dahl pushed off against a Bellarmine defender before scoring, much to the chagrin of the TJ coaching staff, fans and players.

Thompson beats Willis at Battle at the Boat BY ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
Who’s the best boxer in the Northwest? Federal Way heavyweight Vincent Thompson is making his case. The undefeated Thompson won a unanimous decision after a controversial main event in Battle at the Boat 84. The Nov. 5 bout at Emerald Queen Casino pitted Thompson (10-0, 2 KO) against Tacoma boxer Jonte Willis (8-2-1, 3 KO). The fight was called in the eighth round after two minutes. Willis signaled that he was hurt and was wobbly. The fight was stopped, the doctor got involved, and Willis was unable to continue. Thompson was penalized two points for an alleged hit to the back of Willis’ head. The crowd booed furiously, many jeering Willis. Thompson also had a few detractors. The penalty made little difference, however, as all three judges scored the fight 78-72. Thompson was dominant through
[ FOOTBALL from page 19] street clothes Friday night. Federal Way also lost Washington State-commit Jordan Pulu during the first quarter with a high ankle sprain. The 6-foot3, 230-pound middle linebacker was the Eagles’ leading tackler the last two seasons. Starting lineback/ fullback Rod Jones also had to leave the Snohomish game with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. Meagher hopes to have all three back Saturday night against Eastlake. According to both Olive and Pulu following the Snohomish game, they are both planning on being on the field in the state opener. “I’ll be back,� Pulu said while walking on crutches. “I will do a lot of rehab.� “It was definitely a mental hit having those guys hurt, but we had guys step up,� said May, who missed two games with a rib injury during the regular season. “We have a lot of depth.� May was pretty much unstoppable against Snohomish Friday night. The four touchdowns give the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder 21 on the season, despite missing the two games. The 220 yards give the speedy May 1,288 yards on just 123 carries. “Snohomish was definitely coming up and hitting,� May said. “But for some reason, I just kept on popping out. There was nothing special to it.� The game actually looked like it was going to be a grind-it-out type of contest. The first quarter was basically made up of one drive each from each team. Snohomish started the game
every round of this intense and high-energy fight. Both boxers had to be broken up at the bell a few times. In the victory, Thompson applied consistent speed and pressure from the start.
