Investigation of mayor ends
Ballot item targets citizen initiatives
By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
The city has released an investigation of a complaint against Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest over his alleged behavior during a meeting with a city councilmember. The formal complaint was filed May 9 by Councilmember Kelly Maloney after a conversation she had with the mayor the day before. The complaint describes a nearly 30-minute meeting in which the mayor was angry, pounding his fist on the desk and “lacing the ‘F’ word throughout his statements as he was yelling.” The complaint alleged the mayor was trying

Woman accuses police of brutality By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
Camelot Elementary hosts Green Festival One year ago, Camelot Elementary School became the first public elementary school in Washington to receive the Department of Education National Green Ribbon Award. Now, the students and teachers at Camelot have made it their mission to educate the community on what it means to be green. On May 30, the school held its first ever Green Festival. Activities included student-made science fair projects, arts and crafts, demonstrations on how to cook healthy and green from chefs at St. Francis Hospital, and a dozen booths ranging from Puget Sound Energy to local vendors with organic food samples. Two guest authors made an appearance: Rick Swan, who wrote “Our School Garden,” and Katherine Pryor, author of “Sylvia’s Spinach,” met the kids and read from their respective books. At the end of the night, volunteer students were split into two groups and all of the remaining trash from the festival was divided into two piles. The kids worked together to sort the garbage into recycling, compost and trash bins, relay style, before the other team could finish. Camelot sent a powerful message to the community with its two slogans: “Being Green is Cool” and “Act Like Every Day is Earth Day.” See more photos from the event at federalwaymirror.com.

SPECIAL OFFER:
The Federal Way City Council, in a 5-2 vote during its June 4 meeting, sent a ballot proposition to King County Elections that will let Federal Way citizens decide whether citizen-backed initiatives will be restricted only to the November general elections in any given year. As it currently stands, if a citizen-backed initiative gains enough signatures and is certified by the county, the city must either hold a special election or wait until a general election if the initiative is certified within 120 days of a general election. According to city attorney Patricia Richardson, the proposed change should have a two-fold effect. “The basis for the change is that historically more citizens vote in the general elections than in special elections, and it would save hundreds of thousands of dollars by avoiding [ more BALLOT, page 12 ]
to intimidate Maloney and claimed the mayor cried. To investigate the complaint, the city hired attorney Eileen M. Baratuci of Arbitration, Investigation and Mediation (AIM) Services based in Port Townsend. Released on Tuesday, the 10-page report summarizes the attorney’s interviews with Priest, Maloney and people who may have witnessed the initial confrontation or the mayor’s “direct mode.” The attorney reported that the difference between accounts of the conversation between Maloney and Priest is how the mayor’s behavior was characterized.

A Kirkland woman who faces a felony assault charge is accusing Federal Way officers of police brutality during her arrest. The arrest occurred about 7:15 p.m. May 27 in the parking lot of Forest Cove Apartments. The complex is located near SW Dash Point Road and SW 312th Street. Megan Graham, 36, said she pulled into the parking lot to visit a friend when a Federal Way police cruiser drove up behind her with its lights flashing. She believed the officer saw her using a cellphone while driving.

‘21st Century Curriculum’ for new FWHS By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
798653
The Federal Way High School Curriculum Committee (FWHSCC) seeks to determine the best curricu-
lum and programs that will give students of the new Federal Way High School (FWHS) the best education in this ever-changing world. The committee is facilitated by Vince Blauser,
Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) Executive Director for Secondary Education and Athletics. Blauser gave an update to the school board on May 28. The committee is formed of parents, students, staff members, and secondary high school experts. The goal is to inform the district and the FWHS design team of the curriculum and programs the committee wants in the new school. The input is intended to influence the design to support successful delivery of programs, Blauser said. “It’s…important for this committee to be represented by a cross-section of expertise,” Blauser noted. The committee began its work by trying to “ground” itself in the culture of FWHS, Blauser said, taking a deep look at the demographics of the students, parents and staff. The committee also tried to discover what it is about FWHS that creates the unique family community that so many current students and alumni refer to when speaking of the school. “It was from this foundation that the committee began to look to the future,” he said.

Pit bull goes on the attack CRIME
This week’s…
alert
Police Blotter Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: • Aggressive pit bull: At 11:28 a.m. June 1 in the 300 block of South 304th Place, a woman reported that every time she attempted to step outside of her residence, a neighbor’s loose pit bull would attempt to attack her. Animal Control officers were dispatched, and the report notes the dog also attacked them. The report is unclear on the dog’s fate. • Care home residents spar: At 1:21 p.m. May 31 in the 1000 block of South 308th Street, a care home employee reported that two residents had been in a brief scuffle, where one slapped the other in the chest. According to the report, both of the residents involved are wheelchair bound and have dementia, and neither could recall the incident when they were interviewed by police. • Mail theft: At 6:38 a.m. May 31 in the 2900 block of SW 337th Street, a resident of a neighborhood reported that his mailbox, along with 17 others in the neighborhood, had apparently been burglarized by unknown suspects. • Attempted mail theft: At 1:59 a.m. June 1 in the 36000 block of 6th Avenue SW, a man interrupted two suspects attempting to steal his mail. The suspects fled, and police were unable to locate them later. • Abusive boyfriend: At 11:26
a.m. June 1 in the 27000 block of 24th Place South, a man struck his girlfriend repeatedly across the back with a belt after she failed to properly do his laundry. According to the report, the suspect said he felt the physical punishment was needed so the woman would learn respect. The man was arrested for fourth-degree assault. • Teens dine and dash: At 10:25 a.m. June 1 in the 1400 block of South 324th Street, a group of teenagers ate at a buffet restaurant and walked out on their nearly $100 tab. • Welfare check: At 11:29 a.m. June 2 in the 28000 block of 26th Ave. S., police were called for a welfare check on an individual. According to the report, the individual was passed out in the roadway, and was extremely intoxicated. • Attempted paint theft: At 1:43 p.m. June 2 in the 33000 block of 21st Ave. S., a man was arrested for attempting to steal approximately $69 worth of paint. • Thief writing big checks: At 4:25 p.m. June 2 in the 35000 block of Enchanted Parkway S., a woman reported that someone is fraudulently using her checking/ banking account. According to the report, the woman had reported her purse stolen in Tacoma at the beginning of May. Since then, the unknown suspect has written checks at the Federal Way Costco totaling almost $2,600. • Malicious mischief: At 9:24 p.m. June 2 in the 34000 block of 11th Ave. SW, a construction site security worker reported seeing three teens “wearing ties” exit a vehicle and tip over a Port-A-Potty on the site.
Man, 19, drowns in Lake Easter By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
A Federal Way man died May 30 after rescue crews pulled him from Lake Easter, located off South 308th Street. South King Fire and Rescue responded to a call at 2:55 p.m. May 30 from a resident who saw Deon Winters, 19, take off his shirt, enter the lake and struggle. The witness guided rescue swimmers to the northeast corner of the lake where Winters had gone under. At 3:25 p.m., rescue swimmers found him submerged in 6 to 8 feet of water. He was located about 50 to 75 feet from the shore, according to Assistant Fire Chief Gordie Olson. Rescue workers pulled Winters to shore and revived his heartbeat. The victim, a resident of a nearby apartment complex, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition where he later died. The cause of death was listed as accidental drowning. “We don’t know the circumstances that caused him to go out into the lake or what ultimately caused him to struggle,” Olson said.

This smells: Paper’s report on the mayor I have read the initial story by Andy Hobbs (May 24) and the complaint filed by Councilwoman Kelly Maloney, as well as all the online written comments generated by that article. I have known Skip Priest as my state representative and as mayor of Federal Way, first as a citizen of Federal Way and then as a Republican Precinct Committee Officer for District 30-3088. In all my dealings with Skip Priest, he has always been courteous and responsive to any questions I might have and always willing to meet with me regarding any concerns I might have. Councilwoman
Amy Johnson
There are always some surprises during filing week, and this year was no exception. King County Executive Dow Constantine will face minimal opposition and appears a lock for re-election. Federal Way’s own King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer did him one better and has no opponent at all. Over on the Eastside, it was a little different story, as King County Councilman Reagan Dunn could have his hands full with two challengers. Coming off a long battle in the Attorney General’s race, it may be difficult for Dunn to marshal all his resources again. He still looks like the favorite, but watch Shari Song. Many people had expected that Julia Patterson would step down from the county council, and she confirmed that during filing week. State Rep. Dave Upthegrove filed for her position and should have the inside track. Rod Dembowski was appointed to replace Bob Ferguson, who was elected Attorney General. He drew two opponents, but should be able to hang onto the seat. The most important state race will be in the 26th District in Port Orchard. Nathan Schlicher was appointed to the state Senate to replace Derek Kilmer when he was elected to Congress. Schlicher is a Democrat. He will be opposed by Rep. Jan Angel (R). Given that the 25-24 Senate Republican control includes two Democrats,
this race is big. The incumbent mayor of Kent, Suzette Cooke, will be challenged by former councilman Tim Clark, who is well known and will make the race competitive. In Pacific, the recall election of Mayor Cy Sun is set for June 25. Sun has gotten a disproportionate share of the blame for the circumstances, and he got some bad advice. He has also been his own worst enemy and has simply made too many mistakes. The recall will be successful. Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis stepped down after three terms and is running for the Port Commission. He is challenging incumbent John Creighton. Creighton does have some political problems, but he has raised about $80,000 and Lewis hasn’t. It would be good for South King County to have someone on the commission, but running for mayor of Auburn and running countywide are two different things. It is possible, but it looks like an uphill battle for Lewis unless he gets key Seattle endorsements and raises a lot of money. With the mayor’s job open in Auburn, Councilmember Nancy Backus is running and has the support of Lewis. Her campaign manager is one of Lewis’s staff and is an insider in city government. Backus has been involved in activities in Auburn for many years and is well liked. She [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ]

EDITORIAL
I was out of state at a conference when I got a text from my father in Canada that his prayers were with us following April’s shooting in Federal Way. I didn’t know Dennis Clark or Justine Baez, but I know too many people who have been in domestic violence scenarios. I have worked with too many youth who have endured dating violence, and intimidation by friends who ignored boundaries. I know men in upscale Federal Way neighborhoods whom I used to count as friends who have abused their wives by pushing them, throwing things at them, purposefully breaking personal belongings, calling them ugly and demeaning names, financially exploiting them, and more. I have a dear friend who is currently fighting the justice system, which should be protecting her family. Death threats to her and her daughter involving a gun were sent by her daughter’s ex via text. Even with felony harassment charges filed by the prosecuting attorney on the young man, the judge denied a protection order and the principal of the school refuses to separate the students, who share classes and free time. Domestic violence transcends socio-economic status, neighborhood, race, age, sexual orientation, and more. Unfortunately, language is part of a victimblaming culture in which we reside. We say things like: “Why do these women stay with these men?” and “What attracts them to this type of man?” We also need to be asking: “Why did he beat her?” “Why do so many men verbally, physically, and sexually abuse children and women?” “How can our society and institutions in it contribute even more to producing more men who are not violent?” In the above scenario involving my friend and her daughter, the school argues that her thenboyfriend locking her in a closet at school wasn’t a big deal, since she walked into the closet willingly. Notice the implication that this was her fault. But is it wrong to walk into a closet? No. Is it wrong and intimidating to lock someone in the closet while they are pleading to get out? Yes. In this scenario, the boy needs to be held accountable for his actions, not the girl. We need to recognize the problem and call it what it is before we can transform it. We need to move beyond talking only about women and what [ more JOHNSON, page 5 ]

To submit an item or photo for publication: email editor@federalwaymirror.com. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length. Maloney’s complaint was shocking in that her description of Mayor Priest’s behavior during a one-onone meeting runs counter to any that I have had with him. Councilwoman Maloney states the meeting with Skip Priest took place at 4:30 p.m. May 8, 2013. She filed the complaint on May 9, 2013. As is the city’s customary practice, an independent investigation was begun per the city’s press release that addressed the release of Councilwoman Maloney’s complaint. I find it curious that word of an internal investigation was leaked to the editor of the Federal Way
Mirror, which prompted him to file a request for public records as of May 15, and upon receipt of those records, he filed a story that is based on one woman’s viewpoint that clearly portrays Skip Priest in the worst light possible for a city official. Councilwoman Maloney’s complaint details the conversation of a meeting that was requested to discuss a project she has been working on. It was a 30-minute meeting that, according to Maloney, ran the gambit from discussion of the project to emails between the mayor and herself, to arguments about the
previous night’s City Hall meeting, and to Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell running for the office of the mayor against Skip Priest. She states in her complaint that Skip Priest lost his temper, pounded his desk, tried to intimidate her (but she held her ground bravely, never once raising her voice), cursed and then cried. “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. I’m equally concerned that the facts were mischaracterized,” Maloney told The Mirror. “The reason I started the investigation was not for myself, but for staff whom I believe might be in a hostile work environment, [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

We need to move the national, regional and local conversation toward helping more boys and men have more role models who are not violent, who treat all genders with respect, and who know how to communicate in non-violent ways. I’m reminded of a story that illustrates the adaptability we have to really horrible situations. According to this story, if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will jump

However, she is being challenged by Councilmember John Partridge along with political newcomer Scot Pondelick. Partridge will pick up support from residents who are concerned that a vote for Backus is like voting for another term for Lewis and the status quo. Partridge will advocate change and could also pick up support from the public safety interests. Pondelick is earnest and trying hard, but is running against two candidates with more experience. We’ll see if Pondelick’s efforts strike a chord. The early advantage goes to Backus. Most people have felt that Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn was so vulnerable that he might not make it through the primary. However, the field became so crowded that it actually helped McGinn.

Then the race got a jolt when the main contender to McGinn, Tim Burgess, suddenly pulled out saying the campaign wasn’t going well. I’m not sure what the real story is yet, but that isn’t it. Suddenly, McGinn doesn’t look as vulnerable. Also in Seattle, former Federal Way City Councilmember Dean McColgan is running for the Seattle School Board. The Federal Way School Board will see a change as Angela Griffin is stepping down. Three candidates have stepped forward to replace her. Carol Gregory has previously run for the state Legislature, and that gives her an edge in how to organize a campaign. Medgar Wells and Kenneth Barton also filed, and Wells has been making the rounds.

his impressions of what is happening in the city, and particularly city government, he should be talking to the horses. The city again had to take the time to correct his misstatements, this time about the Edmonds Center for the Arts funding. It was amusing to note the know-it-all Czar, declaring “it is time for PACC supporters to get organized and start a capital campaign,” wasn’t aware the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts (FWCPA) has been organized for months, has a team of grant writers investigating a long list of potential donors, and has three members who have recently attended two South Sound Grantwriters Association funders forums at their own expense. They were able to meet and identify those funders that support capital projects. The Czar and others may be interested to know that
and would make a significant down payment on our problem. The $9.5 billion, 12-year package would make key investments across Washington. Included in this package are projects that will help ease our transportation problems here in Federal Way. The Gateway Project will help two critical highways, SR 167 and SR 509, into the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle. These projects will increase freight mobility and help create jobs, and will also ease freight traffic along I-5. Funding is also included to complete the “Federal Way Triangle” where I-5, Highway 18 and SR 161 meet. Our state is literally at a crossroads. We can either do nothing, or we can make a down payment to create and grow jobs and the economy — and more efficiently move people and goods. The situation won’t improve unless our elected officials in Olympia act this year. Let’s get this done.
Federal Way Chamber CEO Patricia Mullen: pmullen@federalwaychamber.com.
many who do not support brick and mortar aspects do fund equipment, operation, maintenance and programs. The city and the FWCPA just signed a memorandum of understanding, so now further development of the fundraising campaign can continue. For over a year, an advisory committee that includes several members of the business community as well as an engineer, an FWPCA member, three council members and city staff have been discussing the fundraising aspects of the project, plus ways to approach likely donors interested in major contributions, and naming rights. There will be public meetings to invite everyone interested to participate on various campaign committees. The FWCPA is an all-volunteer organization, with members of the board representing Federal Way’s performing arts groups.
Rather than the $1 million the Czar suggests, we will have a goal of more than that. We will also create an endowment fund to help support the facility in future years. So, dear Czar, so much is going on in a very positive way toward this project. You’re welcome to join us in bringing the PACC to fruition. For some of us, it has taken more than 20 years to get this far, and we are willing to work hard and invest our own money to make it happen. So please stop assuming nothing constructive is going on. Much groundwork is being done by several individuals already. We will be reporting soon on our progress.

Former chiropractor accused of sex crime gets appointed to North Lake district
cil approved the appointment by a vote of 7-0. In light of the realization of Summers’ legal troubles, the council is calling a special meeting for 5 p.m. June 11 in the committee room at City Hall to review Summers’ application to the management district. “The council wants to discuss the lack of candor by Summers about his previous profession and his ongoing legal issues, and the fact that none of this was included in his application for this appointment,” said Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell. “I am deeply disturbed

Greg Summers, the embattled former chiropractor who’s mired in charges of alleged sexual misconduct with his patients, was recently appointed to the North Lake Management District by the Federal Way City Council. At its June 4 meeting, the coun-

The application seeks

to rezone the properties from corporate park zoning to single family high-density residential. The properties are located south of the lake near the Weyerhaeuser headquarters. Summers’ legal troubles started in 2012, when King County filed felony indecent liberties charges against him. With that allegation, one former patient alleged he groped her breasts during an appointment. The woman’s claims initially fell by the wayside until two more women came forward last year with similar stories. Last November, the state

Department of Health suspended Summers’ medical license. His practice, Summers Chiropractic and Massage, has since been sold. He has not been jailed. He pleaded not guilty at his March 21 arraignment at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. Summers was scheduled for a hearing on the felony indecent liberties charge on May 2, but that hearing was pushed back to June 28, with a trial set for July 22, according to the Washington courts website. If convicted, he would have to register as a sex offender, according to state law.

Kyle Sumpter shoots at bowling pins in episode 2. COURTESY PHOTO to hit the bottom one to make the top can fly up in the air and then hit that can in the air. Finally, and arguably the most difficult shot of all: shooting the blade of an axe to split the bullet and pop balloons on either side of the axe blade. It was that last shot that meant Sumpter and his temporary squadmates would face the “Proving Ground” because William Bethards, Sumpter’s fellow Season 4 castmate, missed every attempt — something Sumpter found surprising, he said. “I was surprised. That’s the type of shooting that William can do. That’s exactly the type of shooting he’s best at, and he was the
only competitor of all 15 who didn’t score any points for his team,” he said. “I was very surprised. It’s not an impossible shot.” At the Proving Ground, the competitors were faced with firing a Henry 1860 repeating rifle. Sumpter’s shot, which ended up 7.5 inches off the bullseye, is something he’s still mystified about. Regardless, Sumpter is moving on toward the chance at $100,000 and a Tahoe Q5i speedboat. “Top Shot” airs at 7 p.m. Wednesdays on The History Channel HD.

The committee began to examine questions like “What does 21st century education look like, feel like, and produce?” Out of that framework, the committee developed what they termed the “7 C’s of 21st Century Learning.” Those are: • Critical thinking and problem solving • Creativity and innovation • Communication • Collaboration and leadership • Cross-cultural understanding • Career learning and self-reliance • Computing and ICT (Information and Communications Technology) literacy Blauser said the committee began digging into its work last month. “Each committee member was assigned an area of study and each began to research a program or curriculum…I asked each one of the team members to lead with this thought ‘Imagine if?’” The committee will continue the work of researching throughout
the summer and into next school year, Blauser said. As part of its work, the committee plans to have a “Question of the Month” posted on the district’s website, where it will seek input from parents and community members as their work continues. Along with that, the committee hopes to have a final recommendation ready for the board and the FWHS design team by about this time next year, Blauser said. Construction of the new Federal Way High School will be funded through a levy approved by voters last November. The levy will collect $60 million over six years, and will add 92 cents per every $1,000 of assessed evaluation for Federal Way home and property owners. The levy will help fund improvements to the district’s security camera system and playground equipment at 19 elementary schools. SRG Partnership Inc. was selected to design the new school. Construction is expected to begin in 2014, and will last about three years.

ney “was being used for political objectives.” The investigator cited a state law (RCW 42.17A.555) that prohibits the use of city resources “directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition.” The investigator said the law applies to this case, especially if the investigation were to continue or expand while supported by city resources. The report noted that Maloney was offered a mediation opportunity with Priest after the May 8 conversation as an alternative to filing a formal complaint and requesting an investigation. The same week that Maloney filed the complaint, Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell officially announced his candidacy for mayor. Ferrell was one of the people Maloney told about the complaint before she filed it. The complaint became public when the city released it to the Federal Way Mirror in response to a public records request. According to the investigator: “Although I do not make any specific findings about who notified the press of Ms. Maloney’s complaint, the fact that Ms. Maloney told Mayor Priest’s political opponent about it raises the possibility that the complaint itself, regardless of the investigative findings, could be used to elicit as much damage politically, as possible, over a single conversation.” Read the complete investigation at federalwaymirror.com.
[ ARREST from page 1] “How dare you even touch me,” she told the officer on the recording. The recording captured audio of a police officer repeatedly saying “You are under arrest,” “put your hands behind your back” and “stop resisting.” Graham faces a felony charge of assaulting a police officer. Her arraignment is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 10 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. According to Federal Way police, the officer made the traffic stop and was completing the infraction when Graham, the driver, began walking away with her dog and refused to get back in her vehicle. The officer attempted to detain her, and according to police, was met with resistance. The officer advised Graham she was under arrest, and a second officer arrived to assist. “Force was used to affect the arrest,” according to Federal Way police. “The incident and the force used to affect the arrest is under review.” According to a report filed by Officer Justin Antholt, Graham had “bladed her feet and balled her fists in a fighter’s stance.” The report said Graham attempted to strike Officer Ashley Crispin, who had arrived for backup. “Crispin then responded with closed fist strikes to Graham’s face, which brought her to the ground where she was handcuffed,” according to the police report.
South King Fire and Rescue treated her for soft tissue injuries at the scene, according to police. Graham was then booked into the SCORE Jail for third-degree assault of a police officer, obstruction and resisting arrest. Graham said she told the officer she was hard of hearing, and that she wanted to take her dog to a friend’s apartment. That’s when the officer grabbed her hand, she said, and she reached for her phone. “The moment I pulled the phone out, he pulled a taser on me,” Graham said. “I’m explaining to the operator what’s going on. … All of a sudden I’m in a lock hold, he’s got me down bent over like in wrestling. Every time he said ‘stop resisting,’ at the end of ‘resisting,’ he punched my face.” Graham said she was punched three times in the face. “I could taste the blood going into the back of my sinuses,” she said. “Once I was on the ground, I was hurt. … All of a sudden there’s all these cops on top of me pushing my face in the ground. … It was just so unbelievably horrific and upsetting.” Despite a black-and-blue face and a concussion from the incident, Graham was quick to praise police for their role in public safety. “I don’t want people to take anything out on the police department. I want to hold the officers accountable for what they did,” she said. “I didn’t assault anybody. I didn’t do anything.”

www.federalwaymirror.com also the general election turnout, but in my mind, the voters’ rights come first as far as the initiative process goes.” Councilmember Dini Duclos explained some of the history behind this change in response to Noble-Gulliford’s comments. “As a matter of fact, we increased the amount of time that people had to get an initiative out there. It was a very short time period and people had asked for it to be increased and we did increase
the costs of special elections,” Richardson said. The two dissenting votes were Councilmembers Kelly Maloney and Diana Noble-Gulliford. Maloney didn’t offer an opinion on her vote, but Noble-Gulliford explained hers. “I do not like the concept of restricting the initiative process and the voters,” she said. “I understand the budget issues and
it,” she said. “We also felt it was important that the most people, on something like this that makes changes, that the most people should be voting on this. And that’s why we went to the November election.” With the proposition heading to the county, the city is now looking for three individuals each to craft the pro and con side for the proposition for the voters pamphlet. Those interested can send their
name, mailing address, email address, telephone number and which committee they want to be on to the City Clerk at carol.mcneilly@cityoffederalway.com. The information can also be mailed to City Clerk, City of Federal Way, 33325 8th Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98003. The deadline to apply for the committees is July 8. Committee members will be appointed at the July 16 council meeting. Special elections tend to cost more because fewer jurisdictions
place items on the ballot. A ballot measure can often cost $100,000 or more. For example, the city paid $140,000 to place the elected mayor issue on a February 2008 special election ballot following a citizen-backed initiative (the public voted to keep the council/ manager form of government). That same year, Federal Way’s cost to participate in the regularly scheduled general election was $90,000.

Special Olympics: Local soccer players head to Costa Rica By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Team USA, which included three local players, recently returned from Costa Rica, where they finished sixth in a 12-team tournament . courtesy photo
Three Federal Way soccer players got the chance of a lifetime. Cody Peterson, Jowell Figueras and John Emmitt just returned from Costa Rica, where they represented the United States at the 2013 Central American and Caribbean Unified Soccer Invitational. The 12-country tournament included teams from Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Paraguay and Costa Rica. Peterson, Figueras and Emmitt were a part of Special Olympics Team
USA, which was made up entirely of Washington and Oregon athletes. The Federal Way trio’s Team USA finished in sixth place, with Ecuador winning the championship. The tournament was organized by Special Olympics Latin America and Special Olympics Costa Rica, along with the Costa Rican Football Federation. Peterson, Figueras and Emmitt were among eight Special Olympians who were combined with eight Unified Partners from the Sounders FC Pre-Academy program. The three Federal Way residents were picked by Special Olympics Wash-
ington Vice President of Program Development Joe Hampson, who hand-selected the best players in the region. The tournament was played May 9-16 in San Jose, Costa Rica. “I’m very impressed with how well the group has come together. Both sides have done well adjusting to each other’s strengths,” said Sounders FC team operations assistant Dennis Sanchez, who served as coach for the tournament, on SoundersFC.com. “You can see where the athletes have improved, just by being around the Pre-Academy players.” [ more soccer page 14 ]

Special Olympics Unified Sports brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities, who train and compete on the same teams. Throughout the year, in a variety of sports ranging from basketball and soccer to golf and skiing, Unified athletes build their bodies, sharpen their skills, challenge the competition and have fun. It’s a physical workout that builds friendships and character, and also inspires greatness in all who participate. Unified programs have existed for the past two decades, born from the idea that athletic events can be especially transformative when they include individuals with special needs who play alongside those who don’t. During matches, teams must play six Special Olympics athletes and five Unified Partners at a given time. On the 16-man roster, each player was required to play 60 minutes or more during the group stage, with each match made up of two 30-minute halves. Team USA finished strong in the highly-competitive tournament despite going to Costa Rica at a disadvantage, according to Sanchez. Most of the teams involved had trained together for a year or longer, while Team USA began training together in March. The squad only had eight training sessions and one practice game before departing for Central America. “For us, it was trial and error from the beginning,” Sanchez said. “I think we’ve turned some heads here. It’s the American spirit. We’re going to work harder than you. We like the underdog role.” While this tournament was used as a World Cup qualifier for the Central American countries, Team USA will enter into the North American championships next summer in New Jersey with a trip on the line to Brazil for the Special Olympics Unified World Cup in 2014. Peterson, Figueras and Emmitt have all been part of the Federal Way Public Schools’ Special Olympics/Unified programs, which are open to any student, as well as students in transition programs. Federal Way’s high-school level Unified soccer team, which included Peterson and Emmitt, finished fourth at the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games in Nebraska. The team received a $12,000 grant from the United States Department of Education. The school district has always been on the cutting edge of Special Olympics. Federal Way Public Schools is one of a few districts in the state that offers students with disabilities a chance to get out and play. There are currently about 100 student-athletes participating each season. The program is free for students attending kindergarten through 12th grade in the district. Participants build selfesteem and fitness while gaining the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities and meet new people. Aside from soccer, Federal Way also offers bowling, basketball and track.
