RoboEagles earn world championship berth Mirror staff reports
Federal Way High School’s RoboEagles earned a berth to the FIRST Robotics 2013 Championship, slated for April 24-27 in St. Louis. FIRST Robotics is dubbed a “sport of the mind” because it combines the competition aspect of sports with the disciplines of science and technology. The goal is to foster the next generation of engineers and innovators by having them dream, design and build a robot. As a rookie team, the RoboEagles will compete at the St. Louis championship against thousands of students YOUR RECIPE: The Mirror seeks great recipes for the inaugural edition of the Let’s Eat restaurant guide. This new section will tell visitors and residents where to eat. Your recipe can be included in this guide. A local gift certificate will be awarded to all recipes picked for this section.

from around the world. Throughout the six-week build period in January and February, the Federal Way students applied the skills and concepts they learned in the classroom to build a robot that shoots discs into goals. At the Seattle FIRST Robotics Regional Competition on March 30, the Federal Way team earned the Highest Rookie Seed and Regional Finalist honors with a fifth-place overall finish. Teams from Decatur and Thomas Jefferson high schools also competed at regionals. Organizers of FIRST Robotics say that high school students who participate in the project are 50 per-
cent more likely to go to college and twice as likely to major in science or engineering. “Let’s inspire these kids to be big thinkers the way Shaquille O’Neal inspired them to spend dozens of hours a week bouncing a ball,” said founder Dean Kamen in a 2011 promotional video. “The only difference between this sport and all the others is every kid on our teams can turn pro. There’s a job out there for every one of these kids.”

Light rail may be decades away in Federal Way and other cities, but one program encourages the region to seize today’s opportunities for transit-related development. The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) — which encompasses King, Pierce, Kitsap and Snohomish counties — shared its vision for the region’s transportation future with the Federal Way City Council. Growing Transit Communities (GTC) is funded by $5 million in federal grants. The program identifies and develops transit strategies throughout the region — especially in cities that either already have light rail service, or like Federal Way, are slated to receive such service in the future. “Our coalition, locally, has as its mission to promote what we call ‘thriving and equitable transit communities’ throughout the region,” said PSRC senior planner Michael Hubner during the council’s April 2 meeting.
FYI: LIGHT RAIL In 2008, voters approved the ST2 plan to build light rail to South 272nd Street, linking the city with Seattle and the airport. However, Sound Transit has delayed the extension to Federal Way until at least 2040, citing a 31 percent shortfall in tax revenue from South King County. According to the original plan, Federal Way was supposed to see a station at South 272nd Street by 2023. The ultimate goal for Sound Transit is to eventually connect the King County system with Tacoma. Plans are in the works to make light rail “shovel ready” in Federal Way for when funding is available. Sound Transit is looking at pursuing federal funding to meet the tax revenue shortfall caused by the economic downturn that began in 2008. The region is investing $15 billion in transit during the next two decades, which presents an opportunity for community development around transit stations and hubs, he said. “We already have solid regional and local plans in place,” Hubner said. “This is [ more TRANSIT, page 10 ]

Prisoner’s DNA linked to 2011 rape and burglary Mirror staff reports
A state prisoner accused of raping a Federal Way woman during a 2011 burglary may end up spending the rest of his life behind bars. King County Prosecutors charged Daven Lee White, 39, with first-degree rape and first-degree burglary. His arraignment will be April 4 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. He has not entered a plea. White is already incarcerated and faces a possible mandatory life sentence under Washington’s persistent offender law, also known as the “three strikes law.” He has past convictions related to burglary, robbery and controlled substances. On Oct. 18, 2011, a middle-aged woman reported that she had escaped from an intruder at her home on SW 353rd Place. According to charging documents, an unknown black male suspect ransacked the woman’s home, then beat and raped her. The victim fought her way free, jumped out the bedroom window
April 5, 2013 [3] and called 911 at a neighbor’s house. The victim reported that during the assault, the suspect also poured liquid detergent on her and smeared potting soil from a plant over her. DNA evidence was collected from the victim, but no suspect matches were found in the CODIS data bank at the time. Nearly 18 months after the rape and burglary, in February 2013, the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab matched White’s DNA to evidence collected from the crime. In an interview with Federal Way detectives at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell, Wash., White denied committing any burglaries in Federal Way, but did say that he was involved with a group who had committed burglaries in October 2011. White also denied knowing the victim when shown her photograph, according to the police report. At the crime scene, police had found a key with a plastic keychain. In March 2013, a Federal Way detective matched the key to a room at the Daffodil Motel in Milton after White said in an interview that he was staying at the motel in October 2011.

Is this a typical white elephant for the city? Critical question: What is the Federal Way City Council’s $32 million performing arts and conference center (PACC) based on? Quick answer: Hope.

But, economic and financial prudence demand that analysis of it begin with a proposed schedule of events, reasonable ticket sales and prices, and other uses as well as
We need more Booth Gardners Recently we lost one of the finest public officials of the last generation when Booth Gardner passed away from complications of Parkinson’s. I had the opportunity to work with Booth, as his time in public office paralleled much of mine as mayor in Auburn. Booth also became a friend. He was unknown to the public outside Pierce County, and so low key as Pierce County’s first executive that “Booth Who” became part of his strategy when he ran against incumbent John Spellman for governor in 1984. It was later the title of his biography. I tried to talk him out of running for governor because I thought Pierce County really needed to have his stability for two terms to ensure that the new executive-council structure, which had replaced the board of commissioners after a series of scandals, was fully in place. And, I thought Spellman had been a pretty good governor. But run he did, and won. He served two terms and could have easily won a third. One publication wasn’t reaching when it referred to him as beloved. He had an unusual charisma, and his ability to connect with individuals was so strong that if you met him, you became a fan. He was the best politician at working a crowd one person at a time I ever saw, but surprisingly he was uncomfortable giving speeches to large groups. When he spoke to the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) and its 1,200 luncheon guests, I would meet him at the entrance and walk with him to the podium. He
delivered an outstanding speech every time. It’s well known that he had a fondness for Frisko Freeze burgers. One year, we had a fast food burger at his place at the luncheon rather than the salmon everyone else was eating. He relaxed much faster. One of his grandchildren even joked that Gardner couldn’t remember his daughter’s phone number, but always remembered the number to Frisko Freeze. Gardner left an undeniable mark on our state’s history. He was smart, well read and had a passion for improving education and social services. He initiated a Basic Health Plan, and implemented the Growth Management Act to protect our environment from urban sprawl. He was also ahead of his time, as he championed equal pay for women and supported gay and lesbian couples long before it gained public acceptance. He was a Democrat, but with a CEO style gained from his private sector experience, he brought business ideas into state government, and it helped him to work across party lines. Booth encouraged many of us to learn MBA — “management by walking around” — as he felt talking to the people who actually did the work was the best way to find improvements. He was right. There are a lot of public employees that will tell you about the time the governor sat at their desk and asked them about their job. He valued people and they worked all that much harder for him. Part of his popularity was based on his image [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

City leaders believe a performing arts and conference center (PACC) will become a cultural and economic catalyst for downtown Federal Way. Last month, the city council voted to move forward on designs for the project. The Mirror’s editorial board supports this first step. It is important to recognize that Federal Way is pursuing a vision for economic development. The public elected the mayor and council to make these decisions. Let’s help them move forward. That said, there are a few concerns with the strategy. The PACC would become the city’s most expensive project with an overall price tag of nearly $32 million. But if you can’t pay for it, you can’t build it. Consider the following as the process unfolds: • First things first. The biggest public project in Federal Way history requires faith and patience as it moves forward, one glacial step at a time. Communication with residents will build trust. Can the public trust the city’s projections? More specifics would bring peace of mind. • The more private investment, the better. Despite the city’s intentions to sell the naming rights and raise money through grants, none of this money has been guaranteed. The lack of a clearcut business model — such as who will operate the completed facility — creates uncertainty among taxpayers who foot the city’s bills. • Rebrand the project. The public hears the “performing arts” part of PACC, but they may not hear the “conference center” part. A rebranded but functional name could expand public support beyond the circles of arts supporters. • As for the future of downtown Federal Way, consider that light rail should be here, we hope, by 2040. By the year 2040, the region is expected to grow by 1.7 million people. Light rail is the next catalyst for development, especially on property surrounding transit stations. Is the city putting all of its eggs into one basket? Not quite. Another project in the mix is a proposed town square park at the former AMC Theatres property, located next to the site for the PACC. The plan is to surround a two-acre park with private enterprise and condos. The PACC plus redevelopment of the adjacent AMC site would be the centerpieces of an economic revitalization of Federal Way. Both projects are two pieces of the same pie. Today, Federal Way faces the challenge of planning ahead. The PACC is neither the savior nor a danger to Federal Way’s struggling downtown core. The PACC is only one piece of the big picture, but at least it’s a start.

The public should be provided with the results and only then should the $355,000 schematic drawing be considered. The $32 million price tag demands that, after comments and adjustments, it be followed by a 100 percent survey of all Federal Way residents (and a well thought out way to gather information on other areas from which the council
expects attendees). Why a 100 percent survey and not just a sample size one? Isn’t this just wasting money? The answer is that the additional cost is trivial considering the huge amount of money involved. The standard “oops, looks like we guessed wrong…” should not be an option. Shoving a very expensive schematic on a $32 million potential white elephant down our collective
throats without a relatively simple economic/financial study based on a reputable survey providing quantifiable information on which to base their answers is unconscionable. That is because the demographics of a heavily low income and financially challenged populace in Federal Way strongly suggest the probability the PACC will not have enough use to even justify a schematic plan.

Federal Way candidates are finally coming out of the woodwork for the 2013 election season. For Federal Way City Council position 2, newly appointed Kelly Maloney has announced she will run to keep her seat. Mark Koppang has announced he will run for the seat. Koppang and Maloney were among 20 applicants for the two council seats vacated in January by Linda Kochmar and Roger Freeman, who were elected to the state House. Maloney and Diana Noble-Gulliford were selected for the two positions. Noble-Gulliford has not yet announced plans for re-election.

The NMTC program is designed to provide gap financing for local projects like this that provide strong community benefits and has funded many projects in our region, including the Tacoma LeMay Car Museum, projects at the Pike Place Market, the Wing Luke Museum and White Center Square. If the project is successful in attaining NMTC eligibility, it would zero out the funding gap in both the low and medium fundraising scenarios, cited above. In the most conservative estimate, it would leave a $3 million gap. Those are the correct numbers as they now stand. It is important to note that this is a preliminary funding plan that will be further refined as we progress in this current step of developing the schematic designs. When the schematics are presented to council, in roughly four to six months, both the public and the city council will have the opportunity to review those numbers and discuss whether moving forward to the construction phase will achieve our shared community goal of catalyzing further downtown redevelopment.

FW Symphony presents Mahler’s Resurrection By MAUREEN HATHAWAY Special to The Mirror
On Sunday, April 7, the Federal Way Symphony will perform its season finale of Mahler’s “Resurrection Symphony No. 2” under the direction of Maestro A. Brian Davenport. This performance can be considered a home run with the full symphony orchestra, along with participation by soloists and a 50-voice chorus featuring the Federal Way Symphony Singers and the Boeing Employee Choir. “It’s like a religious experience…this masterwork is one of the most important pieces of music ever written,” Davenport said. Symphony board member Glenna Cameron said “this monumental production will leave the audience inspired, and moved with maybe a tear in their eye and a lump in their throat.” Gustav Mahler was a late-Romantic Austrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. Mahler’s oeuvre is relatively small, as much of his life composing was necessarily a part-time activity while he earned his living as a conductor. It is important to note that his works are designed for large orchestral forces, symphonic choruses and operatic soloists. Most of
his 12 symphonic scores were often controversial when first performed, with the exception of his Symphony No. 2, Symphony No. 3, and the triumphant premiere of his Eighth Symphony in 1910. The title “Resurrection” has led to the conclusion that Mahler composed this symphony on a religious impulse. To those unacquainted with the work, its presentation at this time of the year suggests even more pointedly a celebration of the Easter theme. This was not a factor in Mahler’s composing the work, and it is not part of the substance. While it is certainly true that the choral finale came to Mahler in the course of a church service he attended, he specified that the symphony is actually an extension of, or sequel to, the personal narrative represented in his first symphony. The characteristic of his own vision of human aspiration and idealism informs us in so many of his works. Symphony No. 2 was written between 1888 and 1894, and it was his first major work that would eventually mark his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and “Resurrection.”

...obituaries •Ralph Edward Spencer• Ralph Edward Spencer went to be with the Lord on March 19th 2013 just seven days before his eighty-first birthday. Ralph was born on March 26th 1932. He is survived by his wife, Shirley, daughters Kim Gerardi (Don) and Julie Gamble (Troy), sister Ida Mae Evans (Cliff), six grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He will be missed by many. A Memorial Service will be held at Southminster Presbyterian Church on Saturday April 6th at 1 PM. (19834 - 8th Avenue South, Des Moines, WA., 98148). Please see www.bonneywatson.com for full obituary and to sign the online memorial guestbook.
“While we know this is partially a result of pets either dying, disappearing, moving out of the Puget Sound region, or being given away, many pet owners simply forget to renew their pet license. This amnesty program gives people a chance to get caught up without having to pay extra fines that can add up to hundreds of dollars.” In Federal Way, all cats or dogs over five months old must be licensed with the city. Licensing also requires a current rabies vaccination. Federal Way residents can register their animals online at license.cityoffederalway.com/pets or apply in person at City Hall, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those wanting more information can also call (253) 835-7387.

Affordable housing strategies are aimed at identifying financial tools, developing data and determining best practices. Finally, demonstration projects are examples of the GTC program at work. Outside of that, Hubner mentioned that one of the steps going forward would be to have all the various cities under the GTC program enter into a compact in the near future. The regional transit communities compact is a high-level, non-binding statement of support for the work of the GTC program, Hubner noted. “This is a statement that we will be doing outreach to each of the cities
and organizations that are a part of our consortium for the remainder of 2013,” he told the council. “And we would be asking for your endorsement of that, once it’s approved by our oversight committee in July.” Hubner said PRSC thinks there are five benefits for all communities, agencies and organizations participating in the GTC program: • Developing tools and resources that don’t yet exist. • Allowing the program to target investments regionally. • Raise regional competitiveness. • Build public support for transit communities and development. • Enhance the quality of life throughout the region, especially in areas where growth is needed.

really about implementing those plans and leveraging transit investment.” Hubner said the work for the GTC program has been going on for the past three years, with 2013 the final year of this phase of the work. That plan was composed of four parts: corridor action strategies, regional equity network, affordable housing strategies, and demonstration projects. Corridor action strategies is the two-pronged plan for developing transit options and also leveraging money for transit opportunities in local communities. The regional equity network is a coalition of local communities and

FWHS student Caleb Dawson honored by Reps By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
Caleb Dawson, a Federal Way High School senior and student leader, was honored at the April 2 meeting of the Federal Way City Council for his extensive volunteer work throughout the community. State Rep. Linda Kochmar, a former council member, was on hand to read a proclamation from the State House of Representatives honoring Dawson’s commitment to service in his community and his selection as a Prudential Spirit of Community Award honoree. “It’s really my pleasure to be here to recognize one of our high school students,” Kochmar said. “And it’s just not any student. He’s the president of the student body at Federal Way High School, he’s been very involved in activities in our community, far and above of just being in high school.” Kochmar read the House proclamation, citing Dawson’s selection for the aforementioned award, and the reason for that selection. “Mr. Dawson earned this award by giving generously of his time and energy to his community by coordinating a food drive that collected nearly 12,000 pounds of food, and rallied our young people for the greater cause,” Kochmar said from the proclamation. Dawson also had the opportunity to speak at the recent We Day event in Seattle. He said the Prudential award, and the recognition by the House, are both significant honors to him. “I’ve had a lot of opportunities to serve the community, and it’s been a privilege,” Dawson said. “I really appreciate all the positive feedback from the city council, the school board, and from representatives such as Linda Kochmar. It’s been a really positive experience.” Dawson credited the Advancing Leadership Youth program for being a major influence on his community involvement. “I was in that program, and they really gave me an

The FWHS senior related his experiences about his event, “253 Scares Hunger,” which brought together 19 schools from six districts, along with three private schools, to collect food for local charities. According to Dawson, the grand total ended up being 12,562 pounds of food, which went to Federal Way’s MultiService Center, Saint Leo’s Church in Tacoma, and the Puyallup Food Bank. “It was an incredible experience,” Dawson said. The Prudential Spirit of Community Award, according to the website for the award, is the United States’ largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. The program was created in 1995 by Prudential in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to honor middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state and national level. The program’s goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities. Over the past 17 years, more than 345,000 young Americans have participated in the program, and more than 100,000 of them have been officially recognized for their volunteer efforts, according to spirit. prudential.com.

[ PACC from page 1] this positive snowball, that really creates an exciting, vibrant Federal Way downtown…I think it’s very visionary, and I’m excited about it.” Stanley-Lee mentioned a recent Kiwanis meeting where the PACC was being discussed, saying someone brought up a valid point about Federal Way’s students needing a nice home for their performing arts activities. “How many young people, when they want to perform and show their talents to us, have to go to Auburn, Kent, or Tacoma?” she asked. “They have to go somewhere else because there’s no venue for them to stand up and share their talents. I think it would be really important for kids to be able to keep that at home. For kids to be able to feel that Federal Way is their home.”

• The Federal Way City Council recently voted 6-1 to approve moving forward with a schematic design for the proposed PACC. Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell was the only dissenting vote.
Artist rendering of a proposed performing arts and conference center (PACC) for the former Toys R’ Us site on 20th Avenue S. COURTESY IMAGE Ferrell said he’s troubled by the potential of the PACC’s maintenance and operation costs. Other council members have reservations about the price tag. • At the council’s March 9 retreat, Dini Duclos said the funding is achievable: “The money is out there, you just have to get it. $31 million is not that much in the scheme of things when you’re doing a project like this.” Duclos also said that for the city to have a clearer picture of what kind of money to ask for, and from whom, the city needs to be able to at least show something to potential investors. • In 2010, the city bought the 4-acre site on 20th Avenue South with a state grant worth $5 million. As a condition, the PACC must
be built within 10 years, or the city must pay back the money with interest. • Seattle-based developer Lorax Partners estimates that a 700-seat arts center with a 3,000-square-foot conference space could cost about $31.7 million. Preliminary designs include green landscapes and up to 170 parking spots, along with an option for a hotel. • The city reports the “total cost of the schematic design development is $950,000, with the balance coming from previously approved design funding and existing grants.” • The completed project may require a city subsidy of up to $200,000 a year. • For more projections and info on the PACC, visit cityoffederalway.com/pacc.

Benton had a huge season for the Eagles. The 5-foot-10 wing averaged an eye-popping 26.6 points a game and had nine games of 30 or more points. Benton was joined on the 4A first-team by Mount Rainier’s Brittany McPhee, Lake Stevens’ Brooke Pahukoa, Skyline’s Haley Smith and Mead’s Jade Redmon.

Nick Tanielu — The Federal Way High School grad is playing his redshirt freshman season for the Washington State Cougars as a third baseman. Tanielu is leading the Cougars in several offensive categories this season. He is hitting .424 with 11
doubles, three triples, two home runs and 19 RBIs. Tanielu has also scored 28 runs in 26 games. The Cougars are 16-10 overall and 3-3 in the Pac12 Conference. Tanielu has started all 26 games, which includes wins over 14th-ranked Arizona State and a win over No. 23 Stanford. Matt Bower — The Beamer graduate is play-

Sophomore Taylor Davis was unhittable Monday afternoon — literally. Davis led the Todd Beamer baseball team to a 2-0 win over the Curtis Vikings in South Puget Sound League South Division action by throwing seven no-hit innings. Davis struck out 11 Curtis hitters Monday and walked only three, while throwing just 93 pitches. It Taylor Davis was his second shutout of the young season. The win moves the Titans to 6-5 overall and 4-3 in the SPSL South. “He was very strong with good command,” said head coach Jerry Peterson. “Taylor has a hard slider that is tough to hit.” Offensively, it was senior Drew Hoefel, who finished 2 for 3 with both of Beamer’s RBIs. Ben Arata ended up 2 for 3 with a run and Jarred Prather tallied the Titans’ other run. Kepa Sharpe finished with three stolen bases. It was also the second year in a row that a Beamer pitcher has thrown a no-hitter against Curtis. Last season, then-senior Matt Bower no-hit the Vikings. Decatur — The Gators won back-toback games over the Lakes Lancers on Tuesday and Wednesday to remain on top of the SPSL 3A Division. The Gators (9-3 overall, 6-1 SPSL 3A) beat the Lancers, 5-2, Tuesday and blew out Lakes the next day, 20-7, in five innings. On Wednesday, Decatur got another huge offensive day from Derik Bontempo. The senior finished 4 for 5 with three runs and two RBIs. Senior Jim Sullivan was 4 for 4 with two runs, four RBIs and a double. [ more wrap up page 20 ]

worried about when I made the jump was dealing with parents. That is the sole reason I have stayed away from coaching my kids’ teams for a long, long time. I have watched countless games from the time they started playing T-ball. I have seen, and heard, the ugly side of parents in the stands.

It’s official: I’ve taken the plunge into coaching my son’s baseball team. It’s not something that I entered into lightly. I have resisted the idea of being a youth coach for a long time. I had no problem with the actual “coaching” aspect of being a coach. That’s the fun part. Teaching kids the sport of baseball — a game that I love and has given me so much — is a dream I have had for a long time. I wanted to take on the responsibility of coaching the sport. The responsibility I was a little more
seems like the entitlement of some parents, as well as some players, is a recent phenomenon. But that is probably an exaggeration. As with everything in life, you seem to remember things from your childhood a little differently than they actually happened. My parents told me the proverbial walked-insnow-uphill-to-school-everyday story when I was young. Now I catch myself telling my kids something similar. The fact is there always seems to be that one parent or even a group of parents who always let the coach know just how bad of a [ more sidelines page 15 ]
