Airplane noise: Is relief in sight?
Traffic nightmare on SW 336th St. By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
The city recently began a traffic safety improvement project at the intersection of SW 336th Street and 21st Avenue SW.
According to the city, the work is expected to be finished in December 2013. Drivers will need to tolerate the current snarls in traffic in the area throughout the summer. Right now, the city is busy putting in the temporary changes to
SW 336th Street and 21st Avenue SW, which include: • Shifting lanes along SW 336th Street and 21st Avenue SW to allow for construction work along the north side of SW 336th Street, and also on 21st Avenue SW, north of
336th. This configuration is “excepted to last through the summer months,” according to the city’s project update report. • Sidewalk closures may occur, due to the removal of sidewalks [ more TRAFFIC, page 10 ]

The traditional approach to land an airplane is called the “step approach,” where airplanes drop down, throttle up to maintain altitude, then fall again. The Greener Skies program is updating computers so that planes will be able to fly a “continuous descent,” gliding down in one straight motion. This will save fuel and is more environmentally friendly. It will also concentrate the noise to areas along the SeaTac runways. This is good news to Federal Way residents, especially those living in the Marine Hills neighborhood, who should see an improvement in the noise level within the next few years. Longtime Federal Way resident Scott Chase bought his house 23 years ago. He never could have predicted that the airplane noise over his house would become such an issue. “I’m 50 years old, and I won’t be able to retire [ more NOISE, page 11 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Councilwoman files complaint over mayor’s behavior By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
The city hired an investigator to look into a complaint filed against Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest. In response to a public records request by the Federal Way Mirror, the city released a five-page document that was submitted on May 9 by Federal Way
City Councilmember Kelly Maloney. The document details Maloney’s account of a meeting that took place with Priest on May 8. The city also issued a statement to the media to coincide with the release of the document. “It is standard city practice to investigate any internal complaints lodged against employees or of-
ficials,” said city spokesman Chris Carrel. “An independent investigator has been hired to look into the matter, interview witnesses and issue findings.” In the document, Maloney conveys from her point of view a conversation with the mayor in his office at City Hall. The original topic of the meeting was an initiative to bring a college
to Federal Way. The document describes how during their nearly 30-minute meeting, Priest was angry, pounding his fist on the desk and “lacing the ‘F’ word throughout his statements as he was yelling.” According to the document: “I told him he had better back off and stop talking to me that way. (I did not raise my
voice because I wanted to be firm and not escalate the situation.) I told him I wasn’t afraid of him, though clearly he was trying to intimidate me. He sat down. He started crying.” Later in the document, Maloney wrote that Priest said he had gotten angry with her during this meeting because Priest was [ more COMPLAINT, page 11 ]

City reports more crime, liquor theft By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
With the privatization of liquor sales in Washington, liquor theft has skyrocketed in the 11 months since the massive change began in the state. For Federal Way, there’s been an increase of more than 340 percent in liquor theft between the first quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012, according to Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson. Wilson told the Federal Way City Council on May 21 that there were 51 incidents in 2013 vs. 15 during the same time period in 2012. He said these numbers may actually be underreported. “This is a major issue, and it is something that is going to require working with our retailers, and certainly on a state level, in terms of putting initiatives forward to address this,” Wilson said. Wilson said Federal Way police will try and combat liquor theft by the aforementioned partnering with retailers. Police will focus on enforcement of youth alcohol offenses, and apply pressure at the state level to combat the problem. Mayor Skip Priest said he agrees with Wilson that liquor theft is likely underreported. “I’m hopeful there will be continued emphasis… to push our legislators (to recognize) the importance of getting this issue of liquor theft under control,” Priest said, adding that liquor theft could become a “tipping point” for more retail theft by young men

and women. Wilson touched on overall crime and a few other areas the city has been focusing on in recent years. Overall crime was up about 12 percent between 2011 and 2012. Overall crime between first quarters of 2013 and 2012 is pretty much static, with 2,212 incidents reported in 2013, compared to 2,220 for 2012. Metal theft continues to be an issue that plagues the city, according to the data. “Metal theft has been flat in 2012 over 2011. We had 56 incidents in both years,” he said, noting there were three incidents in 2010. “In 2013, for the first quarter, we’ve had 30 incidents.” Another area that showed increases in first quarter from 2013 to 2012 was weapons offenses, with 23 in the first months of 2013 so far, compared to 12 in the first part of 2012. The police chief noted that weapons offenses include everything from illegal possession of a firearm to having other weapons, like knives or brass knuckles. Wilson said gun purchases and concealed pistol license purchases have increased by 30 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Wilson said that in 2013, the police department will continue to integrate the use of the SafeCity camera program, continue its push to combat metal thefts, work on trainings for officers and personnel, and look to hire four new officers this year.

King County Metro bus service faces 17 percent cut By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
It was only two years ago that King County enacted a $20 “congestion reduction charge” on vehicle tabs in order to stave off service cuts and reductions for King County Metro bus service. With the charge set to expire in 2014, the county is again looking for ways to combat a potential $75 million annual budget shortfall for Metro beginning in 2014. If no solution can be found, Metro is indicating that a 17 percent cut to overall services — or 600,000 hours of service — will be necessary. If some measure cannot be found to alleviate the anticipated budgetary shortfall, Metro is already outlining the routes that might be eliminated entirely or will see significant changes. According to King County Metro’s data, about 6,000 people are served on a daily basis in the Federal Way area. For Federal Way, a total of 11 of the 19 routes that serve
the city could be either eliminated or reduced/ revised. Those Federal Way-area routes facing potential elimination include: • Route 173: Federal Center South, Duwamish Boeing, Midway, Star Lake Park and Ride (P&R), Redondo Heights P&R, Federal Way, and the Federal Way Transit Center. • Route 179: Downtown Seattle, Federal Way Transit Center, Twin Lakes P&R • Route 190: Downtown Seattle, Stadium Station, SODO, SODO Station, Star Lake P&R, Redondo Heights P&R • Route 192: Downtown Seattle, Kent-Des Moines P&R, Star Lake P&R • Route 197: University District, Kent-Des Moines Freeway Station, Star Lake Freeway Station, Federal Way Transit Center, SeaTac Mall, Twin Lakes P&R Several other routes in Federal Way face revision/ reduction.

We want more good restaurants in FW I read your article about pho restaurants with interest, since I like Vietnamese food. I looked up the three you mentioned on the King County Restaurant Inspection site and was sorry to see that all three had serious violations in their records. I usually check the inspection records before eating at a new place. We’ve lived in Federal Way for nine years now, and are disappointed at the lack of choice when we want to eat out. We usually have to go elsewhere. We wish the city would do more to encourage the establishment of good restaurants and cafes. We have so many fast food places and chain restaurants.

The slow developing field of candidates for mayor and city council is now set. And there will be some good races in Federal Way. We have incumbent Mayor Skip Priest being challenged to a rematch by Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell. We have one longtime city councilmember, Jeanne Burbidge, being challenged by political newcomer John Fairbanks. And the two new appointed councilmembers, Kelly Maloney and Diana Noble-Gulliford, will both have two opponents. Maloney is joined by Mark Koppang, who has run before, and Anthony Murrietta, who has not. This will also be Maloney’s first election. Noble-Gulliford is being challenged by Martin Moore, who has managed several races for other candidates, but has never been the candidate himself, and by Ryan Miller, who will be making his first attempt at local office. Now that we know the field, what issues do you care about most? And what are you going to ask some of these candidates when he or she arrives on your doorstep? What is your reaction to Priest’s record of accomplishment as mayor? Did he actually initiate programs that made a difference, or did city government move along on its own inertia? Has he stepped up as the city leader, or is the council still the stronger leader? Is the city better or worse for his efforts in the last three years? And if he is re-elected, will he do any-
thing differently, or is his pattern established? What are his specific measurable goals for a second term? And Jim Ferrell? How is he any different than Priest? He will have to demonstrate why he would be better than the incumbent. What are his goals for the city? He has been on the city council for 10 years and in a position to impact city policy and the city budget. What has he accomplished? In 2011, the city had relatively low crime statistics. But in 2012, the crime statistics were much higher. And with the Pinewood Apartment murders, 2013 isn’t starting out very well. The cost of police is already high enough that sustainability is debatable. What do you expect the mayor and council to do to bring down our crime rate? Are ideas proposed by the opponents achievable? Should the incumbents and the challengers be adding police officers, or should the mayor and police chief be utilizing the current staff more efficiently? A police officer can cost $100,000 a year. Should the city’s elected officials submit gun control options to the state Legislature? Which ones could save lives and tax dollars? The regional jail (SCORE) is so expensive that officials in other cities have questioned whether it should be mothballed and whether there are other places to house lawbreakers.

EDITORIAL
Recent publicity about Plan B and other generic emergency contraception products has been controversial. This whole controversy is politically motivated, not scientifically based, and mired in misinformation. In the midst of it all comes a voice of reason. My friend and colleague, Amy Lang, runs a business called Birds + Bees + Kids. We both present workshops for parents about how to — gulp — talk to your kids about sex. Amy Lang said: “Bothered by Plan B? How about Plan A — that would be you getting over yourself and talking to your kids about sex. All of it. Seriously… quit freaking out about your child being able to get this very safe drug that will prevent you from becoming a grandparent when you aren’t ready and start talking to your kids about sex. Plan A. It’s what’ll make the difference.” We can argue like the federal government, the Reagan-appointed judge, and the FDA, about the safety and availability of Plan B. We can argue about how pregnancy is determined. We can argue about if this medication should be available and at what age young women should be able to access it, and whether it should require a prescription or be available over the counter. But actually, I’m not interested in arguing with you. What’s really important is Plan A. Talk to your kids about sex. By early elementary school, if they aren’t asking, tell them how babies are made. Tell them how babies get into a woman’s body and how babies get out. Use proper terms, like uterus, vagina, penis, sperm, and egg, so that when they are approaching middle school, they don’t still think a baby grows in a stomach. This isn’t wrecking their innocence. This is helping them understand the miracle of life. Before they enter middle school, tell them about different types of sex that people have: oral, anal, and vaginal. Let them know this so they don’t think they aren’t having sex if they have oral or anal sex, or that they are safe if they do so. Sexually transmitted infections can be spread whether the sexual activity is oral, anal, vaginal, or even manual. They should also know there are ways for people to prevent STD/STI transmission and prevent pregnancy. Talk about abstinence and make sure they know what that means. Let them know they can choose abstinence at any point in their life, whether they are in a relationship, married, or have engaged in certain activities before. [ more JOHNSON, page 5 ]

Arthur Hopkins, Federal Way
Let’s support city’s long-term interest The alchemy of making a community, city or major metropolitan area serve its residents and business well in the present while striving to be economically attractive for growth is a challenge all cities face. I’d like to believe we elect our leadership with the goal of creating a superior quality of life for our residents, businesses and visitors
while keeping a clear eye on building a solid foundation to the future. To achieve this goal requires leadership, insight, and an open dialogue with the community, while conveying a positive vision for growth. If all cities face the same challenge, why do some succeed and others stagnate? Is Federal Way a growth-oriented city with an eye toward the future, or a city built on a 1960s suburban model that wants to maintain the perceived benefits of suburban isolation? Change can be hard, but change is a constant. Our leaders have many challenges on their plate, and
while most seem to focus on the present, the most important aspect of their service on behalf of our community deals with transitioning Federal Way from a suburban city with an abundance of strip shopping centers for retail to a mixed business, residential and retail center core. Very doable, but will Federal Way citizens support such a transition? The reason I ask my questions is that recent letters and commentary in the Federal Way Mirror seem to favor a greater focus on law enforcement and negativity toward the city’s effort to revitalize its core retail district with the development of a performing arts and conference center (PACC). When I see a shift in dialogue [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]
[ LETTERS from page 4] to include a greater focus on law and order, it must be the start of election season. Yes, Federal Way recently experienced a horrible incident of domestic violence that ended with the death of five people. Truly tragic, but the act of one misguided individual is not a reflection on the overall decency of this city’s residents. We as a community must find a way to have the discussion about our public safety needs, and not make it fear based, while we focus on coming together as a community to have a full discussion about our cultural and business infrastructure needs. Economic development is critical for any city. However, economic development is more than adding new retail or poaching jobs from other cities by offering incentives and less expensive office space. They may come, but will they stay, and will their employees invest by purchasing homes and sending their children to our schools? Cities that are succeeding tend to have top quality schools, several core businesses that create an economic synergy, good housing stock, easy access to art and cultural events, decent mobility resources, recreation opportunities, health care and quality retail. We all need to support what is in the best longterm interest of Federal Way, and as citizens make every effort to help our community leaders invest in the aesthetic, cultural and business infrastructure to make this city economically viable and the city of choice in the south Puget Sound Region. Keith Livingston, Federal Way
Mirror publisher misses the boat Not just a “stringer” for The Mirror but the publisher himself, Rudi Alcott, seems to have gotten way off track in the “post tragedy breakdown” he has manufactured in his recent comments in The Mirror. Anything to stir up dust, it seems. He feels a need to dictate who should have led a community meeting, in what order they should have spoken, what they should have said, and, by the way, that they should have had a follow-up meeting. The meeting did not take an unusual turn at all, as Alcott alleges. At the beginning of the meeting, it was explained that there were two purposes for the meeting. The last part of the
meeting was set aside for just the Pinewood Village Apartment residents. This was done specifically so the residents could have some private time with clergy and others there specifically to help in the “healing process.” Why is that so hard for the publisher to understand or grasp? Alcott complains “…the city kept the press and the public from hearing any questions and answers the residents may have asked.” Really? Why can’t the residents have some private time? In an effort to “sensationalize” the whole situation, Alcott sadly and ineffectively tries to draw an analogy to the recent Boston tragedy. If anyone is creating divisiveness out of this situation, it is Mr. Alcott. To use Mr. Alcott’s own words, I, too, am appalled. But I am appalled by Mr. Alcott’s negativity. Unlike Mr. Alcott, I don’t feel a need to apologize to all Federal Way citizens for Mr. Alcott’s misunderstanding of what happened at the meeting. I’m guessing the more prudent people “got it” and weren’t upset at all. I feel offended that the publisher of The Mirror is involved in “digging up dirt” and being so transparent about his obvious distaste for the city. Hopefully people will be able to see through that.

Letter wasn’t fair to students This is in response to Douglas Brooks’ letter, “Ask kids about rebranding city?” Did you know that our high schools have jazz bands that meet at 6:30 a.m.? Did you know our middle school jazz bands meet at 7 a.m.? To generalize that all high school kids care about is “cellphones, social media, gaming” and that “hip-hop” is their music, not jazz or blues, is just crazy. Did you know that the Decatur baseball team is in the 3A state tournament? Decatur just put on an amazing “Grease” musical. The Federal Way boys track and field team is the 4A SPSL champion and on its way to state as well. The Todd Beamer Dance Team won another state championship. Every high school in Federal Way has very hard working, smart and talented kids. Let’s not forget that at the fourth high school in Federal Way, the Thomas Jefferson boys soccer team is in the 4A state tournament. Let’s not group them

Do the majority of people want to antique shop and go to over-priced specialty stores? Not necessarily. Federal Way’s average household income is not that of Carmel, Calif., or the neighborhood of the Proctor District in Tacoma. You need to consider that when you want to bring in certain businesses into the community.

Preserve legacy of the old FWHS It’s never too early to plan for the fall of 2014. Fall. A time to take stock. A time to celebrate one’s bounty and plan for one’s future. A time to give thanks for all of one’s blessings. Fall of 2014 will be all that and more at the home of the Eagles. Fall of 2014 is the projected date to break ground on the new Federal Way High School. In anticipation of this exciting groundbreaking event, Federal Way High School is forming a “Legacy Committee.” Like the fall season, this group will identify ways to celebrate the life and times of the 18,000plus amazing graduates who have roamed the halls of this school since 1938. Tasks of this group will include identifying legacy items to be moved and integrated into the new building — like the majestic Eagle, the Victory Bell, and Athletic Hall of Fame. This group will identify the beloved traditions and events at Federal Way High School that need to continue during the construction process and be reintroduced into the new building. This group will plan ways alumni can share their memories of Federal Way High School. This group will plan an organized event for current students and staff, former staff, alumni, and community members to celebrate these cherished memories of the building and an organized way to say goodbye to the building. If you have any ideas or suggestions for this committee, please email lgriebel@fwps.org. We are excited for our new building, but want to respect and preserve the memories of all who have experienced high school life at Federal Way High School since 1938.

What do the candidates think? Do you support the proposed performing arts and conference center (PACC)? If so, do you have conditions? Do you think it is the best answer? If the only way to build it or operate it was by tax support, would you still support it? How do these candidates feel? Will they be bold or cautious? Will they lead or be led, and which do you prefer? The city has had a mixed record on economic development. Should the city be doing anything differently? Or are you happy with the current direction? Do you know what the current direction is? More importantly, do the candidates? Three years ago, the public voted to change to a strong mayor form of government in Federal Way. Several citizens have questioned the commitment and the depth of the implementation, and feel it
is pretty much what we had before. How do you feel about it? Are you getting what you expected? Some neighborhoods have complained about crime and traffic and that there is too much focus on downtown and the central business district at their expense. Do you agree? What would you change? Managing in government is about making choices. How do you feel about the choices the incumbents have made? Could the candidates do any better? Do the incumbents and challengers actually understand how the government works and what their roles are? Some will try and give you superficial answers to complex issues. Don’t let them — they need to earn your vote. Do your homework. This is what democracy is all about.

[ JOHNSON from page 4] and hormonal method of Sexual activity should always be their choice, and if it’s not, it’s illegal. That’s called sexual assault or rape. Tell them condoms or other latex barrier methods are the next best thing to abstinence for preventing disease transmission. Let them know there are many forms of birth control, and that sexually active people need to use both a condom
birth control if they want to prevent pregnancy and disease. Again, this is not destroying their innocence. This is giving them potentially life-saving information from a trusted source (you) to help them when they are facing tough and tempting decision points, or to help them advise friends who don’t have trusted adults like you who will tell them the real
scoop. Talk with them — more than once. In fact, a few hundred shorter conversations are much better than one big one. Parents, I urge you to put your time, energy, and arguments into Plan A. The more we do that, the less any of us will need to worry about Plan B.

Jena Krantz (left), Kimberly DeMile (center) and Jeanette Hunt (right) lead Jazzercise classes at the King County Aquatic Center and Federal Way Community Center. GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror
Free Jazzercise open house By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
Local Jazzercise class owner Kimberly DeMile will host a free open house at the King County Aquatic Center (KCAC) Banquet Hall at 7 p.m. May 31. DeMile, who’s been involved with Jazzercise in some form or another for the better part of 15 years, is hosting the open house of the popular workout program as part of celebrating her eighth year as a Jazzercise franchise owner. DeMile hopes the open house will help people experience the community of Jazzercise and the positive effects it has on people’s lives. “What I’m trying to do is impart to people that Jazzercise is not old ladies in leg warmers,” she said. “It’s kick-butt music. It’s sound instruction and a lot of fun in a non-pretentious environment. We change things up enough that people don’t get bored. And our program allows people to feel successful because of the consistent nature in which it’s taught.”
DeMile herself had to overcome that perception of Jazzercise when she first started, she said. Following a fatal car crash in which she was a passenger, DeMile said she felt an impetus to try new things in the aftermath of the crash. Jazzercise originally started in the late 1960s, and has been one of the most successful group workout programs in America, with corporate growth/profits steadily increasing every year since its inception. For women like DeMile, it’s also an opportunity to be selfemployed while still being family-oriented. For the open house, DeMile said anyone decides to sign up for class that night will have their signup fee waived. Sign-up fees range between $25 to $45. The theme of the open house will be rock music, DeMile said, with the emphasis for the open house on just having fun and getting a good workout. “The reason I can make it in Federal Way for eight years, is because I have a really good base of customers,” she added.

It’s All About
SERVICE
Fast. Professional. Friendly. Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating
Q
“How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-
ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
Q
:
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :
A
: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.
“In an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on the weekends?”
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years. - Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.

From May 20-24, crews began curb, sidewalk and pavement removal along SW 336th Street, starting on the east end of the project and moving west, as well as along 21st Avenue SW on the east side of the street, north of SW 336th Street.

Just wish it had been done sooner when the city made intersection changes in past years. This on going construction in FW is not helpful for small businesses. • Josh Haglan: The makeover snarls traffic during the busiest hours of the day.

It’s sad.” Complaints regarding airplane noise from the SeaTac Airport have been around for almost half a decade, but residents have seen no obvious improvement. “If anything the noise problem has gotten worse. It’s more frequent,” said Kim Springer, who lives just outside Redondo. Chase expressed a similar sentiment: “Monday mornings are ridiculous. Starting at 5 a.m., planes fly by every 60 seconds. There is
no way you can sleep through it.” According to the revised Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study, the number of passengers flying through the SeaTac Airport has doubled since 1990 and is predicted to increase another 30 percent in the next 10 years. Because of the third runway completed in 2008, more planes are able to fly out than ever before. SeaTac Airport gives planes a “preferred route” that makes flying as efficient as possible, saving time and money. “That’s where I think their priorities are a little mixed up,”
said Chase. “Most of us who live in Federal Way use the SeaTac Airport to travel. It’s our airport, our noise.” Many other airports around the world have already taken initiative to reduce the noise. For example, London Heathrow Airport in England, surrounded by residential communities, has implemented night flying restrictions. From midnight to 6 a.m., the airport prohibits noisy jets in favor of newer, quieter ones. In addition, Heathrow Airport encourages jets to gain altitude as quickly as possible. When planes are higher up, the noise is less
noticeable. Chase has another solution. He thinks that the “preferred route” should be moved over I-5 and away from houses. Unfortunately, the way it is now, the “preferred route” cuts right through Federal Way. Chase encourages other residents to get involved. “We shouldn’t ever have to compromise on our quality of life. I’m just one voice. Port of Seattle is giving citizens a chance to have a voice.” Not everyone will see relief from airport noise. The Seattle area of Beacon Hill might see an
increase in noise, according to a report by Crosscut.com.
Comment period
The 45-day comment period on the revised Part 150 Study is from April 15 to May 30, 2013. Comments and suggestions can be emailed to SEApart150comments@landrum-brown.com or sent to Rob Adams, Part 150 Project Manager, at Landrum & Brown, 11279 Cornell Park Dr., Cincinnati, OH 45242.

[ COMPLAINT from p. 1] angry that Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell had filed to run for mayor in the upcoming Skip Priest election after previously announcing he wouldn’t run. “Skip then said, ‘You Kelly Maloney have experienced my direct mode twice now. I don’t do that very often. I’m usually in my Cary Grant mode with staff,’” according to the document. Maloney told The Mirror that she filed the complaint because it was her responsibility to do so as a member of the city council. “I was surprised and disappointed that the mayor’s office has decided to respond by way of press release to something that is an ongoing investigation,” Maloney told The Mirror. “I’m equally concerned that the facts were mischaracterized.” According to the city, Priest had yet to see the complaint until its release to the media. “I am disappointed with the inaccuracies in Councilmember Maloney’s version of events, as I understand them from my conversation with the investigator,” Priest said in a written statement. “I’ve interacted with countless numbers of public officials throughout my twenty-plus year career as a city councilmember, legislator and mayor and I am surprised at Councilmember Maloney’s reaction.” The city will decline to comment until the report is issued, according to the spokesman. The city spokesman noted that “there are no potential sanctions or requirements on either the mayor or the councilmember that could originate from this type of complaint.”

Titans qualify for first state tournament with third-place finish at district tournament By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
For the first time in the history of Todd Beamer High School, the softball team is headed to the state tournament. The Titans secured the berth Friday afternoon with a pair of victories at the West Central/Southwest District Tournament at the Sprinker Recreation Complex in Spanaway. Beamer (21-7) completely shut down the Puyallup Vikings in its opener Friday morning, 6-0,
Golf: Raiders, Gators finish in fourth place By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
The Jefferson and Decatur girls golf teams brought home some hardware for their respective trophy cases from the state tournaments, which were held Tuesday and Wednesday in the Vancouver area. Both the Raiders and Gators finished in fourth place in the team standings. Jefferson, led by Alexus Song and Hanna Yi, tallied 69.5 points at the Club Green Meadows Golf Course during the 4A tournament. Decatur, led by Celia Beyke’s fifth-place individual Alexus Song finish, ended up with 49.5 points during the 3A championships at the Lewis River Golf Course. Song, a senior who has qualified for the state tournament in all four of her seasons at TJ, led the Raiders with a fifth-place finish Wednesday with a two-round total [ more golf page 14 ]
thanks to the pitching of sophomore Madison Rogers. The Titans then battled back with an exciting win over the South Kitsap Wolves in the quarterfinals, 3-2, securing the trip to state. Beamer eventually finished the 16-team tournament in third place after splitting a pair of games Monday. After getting rained out Saturday, the Titans were shut out by Camas in the semifinals, 8-0, before bouncing back to beat Skyview, 6-1, in the third/fourth game. Beamer will open up the Class 4A State Softball Tournament at 10 a.m. on Friday against the Bothell Cougars. The tournament is being played at Spokane’s Merkel Sports Complex. Bothell (17-7) finished in fourth place in the five-team
KingCo Conference Crest Division, but finished second at the league tournament. The Cougars lost to second-ranked Woodinville in the KingCo Tournament, 5-0. The Titans’ first-ever state appearance came in a heart-stopping game against South Kitsap, the champions of the Narrows League. Beamer fell behind 1-0 Friday afternoon and trailed 2-1 before a Rogers RBI-single in the sixth inning tied the game at 2-2. The Titans plated the winning run in the seventh inning when sophomore Maddy Colson scored on a ground ball to shortstop by Megan Jewett-Chan, who slid under the tag. Beamer finished with six hits against the Wolves, includ[ more softball page 16 ]
It wasn’t as easy as everybody thought it would be for the Federal Way High School track and field teams. But both the Eagle boys and girls won titles at the Class 4A West Central/Southwest District Championships, held Friday and Saturday at Kent’s French Field. The Eagle boys, who entered the postseason as the prohibitive favorites to win the state team title, struggled with injuries. Their state-championship Ezekiel McNeal caliber 4x100 relay team was disqualified during a preliminary heat during the district meet. But, to illustrate the amount of depth on Sam Beesley’s roster, Federal Way still ran away with the district championship with 105.5 points. Gig Harbor finished in a distant secondplace with 77 points. In total, the Eagles had 10 individuals qualify for the Class 4A State Track and Field Meet, which kicked off last night at Tacoma’s Mount Tahoma High School. The meet will run through Saturday. Beamer will be represented in Tacoma by Jamare Davis (400 meters) and Adrian Shocks (triple jump), along with its 4x400 relay team. Jefferson’s Yohan Gebrehiwet (800) will be the lone Raider at state and Decatur’s contingent at the 3A meet [ more track page 15 ]
Late Madsen goal sends TJ into semis Raiders looking to add eighth state title to trophy case, battle Snohomish Friday By Casey olson sports@fedwaymirror.com
It was a game that seemed destined to wind up in overtime and eventually a penalty-kick shootout. The Thomas Jefferson Raiders and Inglemoor Vikings were locked in a classic scoreless tie at Federal Way Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon in the Class 4A Boys Soccer State Tournament quarterfinals. But just when the game seemed to be headed to extra time, Raider junior Brandon Madsen banged in
the game-winning goal with just 4:31 left in regulation. The left-footed volley gave TJ the 1-0 win and sends the most successful boys soccer program in Washington state history back into the state semifinals for the first time since 2005. “That is one of the craziest goals I think I’ve ever scored,” said Madsen, who has 18 of them this season. “It was just so exciting for me to put it in. Coach (Dave Hanson) said that we just need to get the ball into the net and I’m glad that I [ more soccer page 15 ]

It was a heart-breaking way for the Decatur High School baseball team to end its most successful season in 24 years. The Gators led rival Auburn Mountainview by two runs entering the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday in a Class 3A quarterfinals at Wheeler Field in Centralia. But it wasn’t meant to be for Decatur. The Lions tallied three runs in their final at-bat to beat the Gators, 9-8, for the fifth time in six games this season and earned a spot in the state semifinals next weekend in Pasco. Auburn Mountainview (24-3) sent seven hitters to the plate during the seventh inning. The game ended on a bases-loaded single by Nick Brooks to left field with the score tied. Decatur (17-11) earned the Final Eight berth after beating O’Dea earlier in the day, 6-4. It was the program’s first state tournament win since the 1988 season. The last time the Gators played at state was in 1999. The Gators actually led the game against Auburn Mountainview, 7-2, into the fifth inning and 8-5 after six, thanks to a huge offensive game from sophomore shortstop Isaiah Hatch. Hatch connected on a pair of home runs and finished 3 for 3 with three RBIs for Decatur. Chris Carns, who pitched into the seventh inning for the Gators, finished 2 for 4 with an RBI, double and a run. Against O’Dea, the Gators got a solid pitching performance from junior Janson Junk. The right-hander allowed two runs through 5 1/3 innings and also connected on an RBI triple during the 6-4 win. Decatur led 6-2 into the seventh inning before O’Dea (13-9) tallied a pair of runs. Hatch picked up the save for the Gators. Senior Derik Bontempo was 1 for 1 with a triple and two runs.
[ golf from page 13 ] of 161. Song followed up a first-round 80 Tuesday with an 81 Wednesday. Bellarmine Prep’s Olivia Benzin won the 4A girls individual state title with rounds of 78 and 73 (151). Song will play next season at Seattle University after helping TJ win three consecutive South Puget Sound League Central Division titles. Individually, Song won one league title and finished second twice. Yi finished up right behind Song in seventh place at the state tournament. Yi fired a first-round 80 and followed with an 83 Wednesday. Bellarmine won the team title with a total of 168 points, followed by Kentwood (92.5) and Eastlake (91.5). In the 3A girls tournament, Beyke led a group of three Decatur golfers to make the cut. Beyke, a sophomore, shot back-to-
back 81s at Lewis River. Taylor Trembly finished in 33rd place with a tworound total of 194 and Miranda Lehman ended up in 35th with a total of 196. Hanford won the team title with 109 points, followed by Mount Spokane (68) and Enumclaw (57). Columbia River’s Chloe Bartek won the individual crown with an impressive total of 143. On the boys’ side, Decatur’s Spencer Clapp ended up in a tie for 17th-place overall at the 3A boys tournament at the Tri-Mountain Golf Course. Clapp shot a pair of 79s for a two-round total of 158. Clapp’s teammate, Tyler Finnseth, shot an opening round 86 and failed to make the cut. In the 4A tournament, TJ’s A.J. Seo failed to make the cut by one stroke after shooting an opening-round 81 at the Camas Meadows Golf Course. Beamer’s Tyler Martinez also missed with a round of 87 Tuesday.

will be Noel Maafala (shot put) and Kevin Young (long jump). On the girls’ side, the Eagles also used their depth to take the district team championship with 65.5 points. Federal Way finished just in front of the Curtis Vikings (62), the defending Class 4A state champions, and Gig Harbor (61).The Eagles qualified five individuals, along with a pair of relay teams, for the state meet. The Federal Way boys picked up five individual district championships, including a pair from Vongseveng senior Ezekiel McNeal in the 100 meters (10.82) and 200 (22.01). Other event victories came from Keenan Curran in the triple jump (45-11.5), Albert Havili in the discus (167-1) and freshman Tyson Penn in the high jump (6-4). Federal Way also got a second-place finish from D’Londo Tucker in the high jump (6-2) and third-place finishes from McNeal in the 400 (48.77), Tremaine Rambo in the 800 (1:56.32), and Mitch Stewart in the 1600 (4:18.51). Other Eagle qualifiers were Mike Tate (long jump), Jason Palmer (400), Aaron Persinger (110 and 300 hurdles), Jared Pulu (shot put), Mathias Forward (pole vault) and Mitch Stewart (1,600). Stewart will be attempting a rare double this weekend. The junior ran the final in the 1,600 last night (after press time) and then made the four-hour drive to the Tri-Cities to defend his Class 4A singles’ state tennis championship. On the girls’ side, the Ea-
gles got only one individual district championship from sophomore Mariyah Vongseveng in the 300 hurdles in a time of 44.67. Vongseveng won the 4A title in the same event last season as a ninthgrader. But Federal Way also swept the 4x100 and 4x200 relays Saturday in Kent. The foursome of Gab Pelogi, Ta’Mara Richey, Kris Cameron and Vongseveng teamed up to win both events. Vongseveng also finished second in the 100 hurdles, Pelogi was third in the 100 (12.64), and Richey finished second in the triple jump (36-7.5) and fourth in the long jump (17-8). Other Federal Way state qualifiers were Julian Johnson (800), Audrey Shin (high jump) and Ta’Mara Richey (long jump, triple jump). The Beamer girls were led by Chante Sposter, who won the district title in the 400 meters in 57.04. Sposter’s time during Friday’s qualifying session (56.02) was the second-best 400 in Class 4A this season, behind Kamiakin’s Elie Heiden (55.26). She will be Beamer’s lone female representative at state. Jefferson’s Cheryl Hong finished third in the 400 (59.45). Jefferson also got top-three placings from Kaya Warrior in the discus (second, 119-10) and shot put (fourth, 37-11), and Montana Pellegrini in the pole vault (third, 10-0). Allison Arthur also qualified for the state meet in the pole vault with a fourthplace finish. The Decatur girls will have a large presence at the 3A state meet. Anna Paradee (100 hurdles, pole vault), Ericka Budinich (100, long jump), Leah Johnson (100), Jenalta Yates (400) and Parris Watson (discus), along with all three relay teams will be in Tacoma.

[ soccer from page 13 ] could put it in.” Jefferson, who have won a staterecord seven titles, will take on either Camas or Snohomish at 6 p.m. at Puyallup’s Sparks Stadium Friday evening. The state title match will be played at 4 p.m. Saturday. The third/ fourth game will take place at noon. “He’s just clutch,” Hanson said about Madsen. “He is just a good solid finisher. I couldn’t be prouder of him. He is just so dang clutch.” The winning goal really came out of nowhere for the Raiders (15-0-4). Senior midfielder Rodrigo Robles lobbed a perfect pass over the top of the Inglemoor defense and Madsen controlled the ball and struck a perfect left-footed shot past Viking goalkeeper James Takami from just inside the 6-yard line. The goal ended a back-and-forth
match between the champions of the South Puget Sound League and KingCo 4A. Both teams had opportunities to tally the first goal of the game, but Takami and TJ senior goalkeeper McKay Owsley made several key saves. “We just kept playing and we knew that the goals would come, eventually,” TJ senior midfielder Luis Alvaro Osornio said. “We had our chances, but their goalkeeper played great. It was a good battle.” Osornio and fellow senior midfielder Isidro Prado-Huerta both controlled a lot of the possession of the ball for the Raiders. The pair, who both play for the Sounders FC Academy, were bounced around by the much bigger Inglemoor defense and were knocked to the ground several times during the match. “Isidro was sicker than a dog today,” Hanson said. “We actually
had a bunch of kids sick today, but they just kept battling. Inglemoor is a good team and I’m just so proud of our kids. The fought hard all day.” The last time the Raiders advanced into the state semifinals came during their last championship in 2005, when they were led by current Seattle Sounders FC forward Lamar Neagle. “No words can even describe this feeling,” Osornio said. “The first thing I did when the final whistle blew was thank God.” Despite the emotional win over Inglemoor, the Raiders aren’t going to Puyallup to play out the season. They are going to Sparks Stadium expecting to bring home the program’s eighth Class 4A state boys soccer championship, according to Osornio. “We are not going to be satisfied with this. We are always going to keep playing hard and we want to win this.”

Against Puyallup, who the Titans split with during the SPSL South regular season, Rogers allowed five hits and got home runs from Maddy Colson and Jewett-Chan, who also tripled. On the second day of the district tournament, Beamer couldn’t get anything going against Camas in the semifinal. The Titans finished with just three hits, including two by Kelsey McDonnell. But Beamer bounced back with the 6-1 win over Skyview later in the day. Rogers got the win on the mound and was also 4 for 4 with a triple. Analee Scott also tripled.

during the fall season to earn the top seeds into the Class 4A state tournament. The Martin brothers’ title led the Raiders to the West Central/Southwest District championship in October. The Martins won all four of their matches in straight sets, beating the champions of the Greater St. Helen’s League and the top seed from the Narrows League en route. The district title was the third in a row for Stewart. The defending state champion has lost Mitch Stewart only one match during his high school career, which came to Jackson’s Michael Chamerski in the 4A championship during his freshman season. Stewart, who is ranked fifth in the country by the USTA and 9th on the AthleticDNA College Recruiting List, has already committed to playing for the University of Washington. Joining the Martins and Stewart at state on the boys’ side will be Jefferson’s Alex Chan and Alex Lee. Chan finished in third place in singles action and Lee snagged the district’s seventh seed to state. Also playing at state will be Federal Way’s Alex Lewis, who finished eighth at districts during the fall.

Belmor Park makes sandwiches for homeless
The first thing you will notice upon entering Belmor Park Golf & Country Club is the large club house that accommodates a beautiful indoor pool, which the residents take advantage of throughout the year. The main room is used for many social activities during the year and one such activity is the Sandwich Mission. The Sandwich Mission is a beloved volunteer group at Belmor. This group generously donates their time and money to make as many sandwiches as their resources will allow and gives them to St. Martin’s Mission who feeds the homeless on Seattle’s waterfront. Prior to the actual sandwich making, the volunteers are busy with trips to the grocery store and food preparation. Shortcuts, such as using pre-sliced meats, are not in this group’s repertoire. “We slice Jeanne Paris and Barbara Brandt, sisters and residents of Belmor Park, volunteer our own meats and make our own fixings, and they look forward to for the Sandwich Mission which makes sandwiches to feed the homeless. This our sandwiches because we load them up good.” says Jeanne Paris and Barbara Brandt, sisters and organizers of the Sandwich Mission. month the group made 734 sandwiches.
“We’re the only group that makes such a variety of sandwiches and we’re referred to as the ‘Smorgasbord Brigade.’ Just this month we made 734 sandwiches, 112 of which were made by 2nd graders who volunteered to help us out!” All of this is made possible by the generous donations of Belmor Park’s residents and friends. The sandwich assembly line consists of approximately 15 residents - all of which have their own responsibilities - from preparing, to wrapping, to labeling and lastly, to packaging them for delivery to Seattle. At Belmor there is always something to keep active at. In addition to the Sandwich Mission, there is the golf course, Dazzling Dames (Red Hat Society), crafters, ceramics, spite & malice, canasta, yak & yarn, community dinners, dances and more! As George Bernard Shaw once said, “You don’t stop laughing when you grow old; you grow old when you stop laughing.”
