Driver charged in death of bicyclist By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
Vehicular homicide charges were filed against a driver who struck and killed a bicyclist last month in Federal Way. SeaTac resident Dara Keo, 30, was arraigned Sept. 12 at the Cronister Regional Justice Center in Kent. Keo pleaded not guilty. He is being held on $250,000 bail. The fatal collision occurred just before 11 a.m. Aug. 30 in the 28600 block of Military Road South. Keo was driving on the shoulder of the road when he slammed into a bicyclist, according to police documents. The impact knocked the victim off his bike and into the middle of the center two-way turn lane. Kent resident Craig B. Cronister, 44, suffered severe injuries to his head, neck and body. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center and died at 1:03 a.m. Aug. 31. A memorial service was [ more BICYCLIST, page 16 ]

The cracks on the rock resulted from the impact of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a field on Sept. 11, 2001. The rock, along with a steel beam from the World Trade Center, will be part of a 9/11 memorial at South King Fire’s Station 64 in Federal Way.

The most expensive project in city history, if it’s built, could add about $500,000 to the price tag. The Federal Way City Council held a special meeting on Sept. 5 to discuss the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) envisioned for the city center. Lead member of Lorax Partners on the project, P.J. Santos, was on hand to give an update to the council. Santos shared an interesting addition to the PACC: a “patron room” that he had hinted at in a presentation to the council in February. As envisioned now, the patron room would be situated on the upper floor of the PACC, and would be like a “members only” room, where those wishing to go inside would pay a small fee, likely through donations. “That patron room cost…was $500,000 for our project,” he said. “This was not in our original program. A key piece here is about the operations of the future facility. It’s not just affording (the construction)
ONLINE POLL In a poll on The Mirror’s website, we asked readers: “If a vote were held today, would you support construction of a Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) in Federal Way’s city center?” Participants answered yes or no to the question and were allowed one vote each. Results: • Yes: 32.7 percent (18 votes) • No: 67.3 percent (37 votes) of the building and then letting it go, it’s having (the PACC) be built and become its own self-performing piece so it can handle all its costs and revenues itself.” Santos had some eightyear averages for the potential benefits of the patron room. His projections showed that it could generate $18,000 a year in average patron rental, and that its estimated average patron donor revenue would be approximately $46,000. This would, under his projections, work out to an average return on investment of 12.5 percent per year, and the room itself could pay itself off within [ more PACC, page 27 ]
State allows 3 marijuana stores, but city says no By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Up to three recreational marijuana retail stores will be allowed in Federal Way, according to rules announced last week by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. However, marijuana stores are still banned in Federal Way. “We are in the process of review-
ing the Liquor Control Board’s proposed rules. However, the city’s position on business licensing remains the same,” city spokesman Chris Carrel told The Mirror in an email. “The city code prevents the city from issuing business licenses for activities that are illegal under local, state or federal law. Since marijuana sales remain illegal under federal law, should the city
receive an application for a business license for a marijuana store, the city would not issue a business license.” In 2011, Federal Way issued moratoriums on three medical marijuana dispensaries that opened in city limits. Despite the passage of Initiative 502, which legalized marijuana in Washington after a [ more MARIJUANA, page 16 ]

FRED, a new program that Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) rolled out this past summer as a combination of a summer academics and meals program, improved the participation rate for the meals program by almost 400 percent. FRED, which stands for “Fun. Read. Eat. Dream.,” served nearly 41 percent of the 33,470 total summer meals, according to Mary Asplund, Nutrition Services Director for the school district. That equals 13,711 meals served by FRED. “956 average meals were served each day, with 319 of those from FRED,” Asplund told the Federal Way School Board on Sept. 10.

(MSC) and Communities in Schools (CIS) also helped increase the reach of the summer meals/education program between 2012 and 2013, Asplund noted. “That resulted in an almost 400 percent increase in meals served,” she said. “In 2012, there were 8,449 meals served at school sites only. In 2013, there were 33,470 meals served between FRED, our vended partners (MSC and CIS), and school sites. FRED has staying power with our children.

breakfast, lunch and a lateafternoon snack. Initially, FWPS had planned to only run the program through Aug. 1, but the response was so positive that the program was extended beyond the initial dates, Asplund said. Besides serving meals during the summer, FRED also focused on education for children who participated, Asplund said. “These kids were quietly eating and visiting. They were coloring, playing games, they were on the computers,” Asplund said. It was this combination, Asplund believes, that gave FRED such drawing power. Asplund said that 50 percent of FRED is funded
from a U.S. Department of Agriculture program, while the remainder came from donations by community groups, district funds, and partner organizations like United Way-Seattle/King County, the City of Federal Way, the Franciscan Foundation, CIS, South King Fire and Rescue, the Federal Way Rotary, Federal Way Lions and others. Asplund said those involved with FRED have ideas that include putting another bus into service, extending the days of operation to Monday through Friday or even into the weekends, running the program during the school year after school, and expanding the areas it serves.

School board wastes our money on trips It is disheartening to read how our school board is wasting our district’s funds. Superintendent Rob Neu seems to be doing a respectable job, but can anyone point to something he’s done to earn a $42,000-a-year raise? Has our graduation rate risen above 70 percent during his tenure? Is every student passing standardized testing? Beyond this, I am appalled at the money being thrown at expensive overseas trips. Does our district really have $83,000 lying around for vacations to Asia and Europe when we don’t have enough textbooks in our classrooms?
Amy Johnson
Priorities of your school district However, board and superintendent trips to China, Australia, Korea and Indonesia this summer — along with a planned trip this month to Scotland, England and Finland — raise that question to a new level due to the election. The trip to Europe has four board members going, and includes Angela Griffin, who is not seeking re-election. In a budget of $215 million, the trips and salary increase are small line items for the school district. But to the candidates and the public, they open the door to question priorities. Ed Barney is seeking another term on the board and is its most senior member. He has served as chair and currently serves as legislative liaison. His supporters point to his long service and believe his experience is critical to the board. He is active in the Republican party and other organizations. Barney is supportive of the board’s current direction and the superintendent’s salary increase, as were all board members. He supports the Global Initiatives Project and is listed as going on the trip to Europe. Barney is well known in the community and has previously run for the Legislature. Barney is being challenged by Geoffery McAnalloy, who believes it is time for fresh ideas. He has three children in Federal Way schools and has been active in PTSA. He was honored as volunteer of the year at his children’s school. He is active in the Democratic party. [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ]
INSIDE POLITICS
The races for school board may be the most interesting in several years. The economy is improving, the Legislature is stepping up with additional funding for education, there are new issues to debate, and there are good candidates. With the improved economics also comes more discussion over priorities and more pressure on the candidates. Although likely not intended, the Federal Way School Board’s travels — and the pay raise they gave the superintendent — brought increased public attention. Test scores, grading standards, charter schools and graduation rates hovering at 70 percent were already high on the list of issues. But now, money and travel have captured public attention because they set an understandable symbolic tone. What should the priorities of your school district be? Everyone wants a good superintendent, and the board was expressing its view that Rob Neu fits that description when they raised his salary by 22 percent. And most people want to pay a fair salary for a job that may be the most important in the community. But what is fair? District observers countered that classroom supplies, transportation and pay raises for teachers and other staff are just as important. Most people in our multi-cultural community recognize the need to prepare our students for a changing future.

Among the thousands of posts about Miley Cyrus’ actions at the MTV Video Music Awards, there are judgments of her, kudos for her, wonderings about her mental health, people weeping for her and still others praying for her. There are also a much smaller number of posts about Robin Thicke (who was singing part of “Blurred Lines,” already mired in controversy over its misogynistic lyrics and video). So what are smart parents to do? Parents have been concerned about musical performances since Elvis and the Beatles, right on up through Madonna, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. We haven’t succeeded in changing the behavior (no matter how sensational and inappropriate) of rich, famous, media-driven, entertainers in the last century. What makes us think that venting on social media will change anything now? It won’t. What we can do is talk about it, in person, with our kids. Here are some tips. 1. Use your parental power. Check www.commonsensemedia.org for the scoop on movies, games, TV shows, websites and more. What ages are they appropriate for? What will your child see if he or she watches it/plays it? What questions might you ask? Remember: MTV is not a network, and not subject to the same restrictions network channels are. 2. Monitor computers, phones and social media. Even if you don’t allow your child to watch the music awards on TV, it’s very likely many of them have at least seen pictures or part of Miley’s act on someone’s smartphone, tablet, or computer. Find out if they’ve heard about it and keep talking. 3. Watch with them. Refrain from judging and lecturing during a performance. Instead… 4. Engage their brains. Having a conversation with questions that require more than yes or no answers engages the part of the brain that needs the most practice — the thinking and decisionmaking part. News flash: this part doesn’t fully develop until age 25. If you want it to be strong in your child, it needs to work out on a regular basis, which means it needs the kind of exercise that comes from thinking and deciding how to answer questions and deciding how to behave — not the kind that comes from blowing off your parents because (eye roll) here they go again with their judging. 5. Ask questions. (Hint: choose a few from below and be curious, not judgmental, while asking) • Do you see any differences in the behavior of the male and female performers? [ more JOHNSON, page 5 ]

Due to limited print space, more letters are available online at federalwaymirror.com. In a world connected by technology, surely we can discover how the Scottish school system runs without most of the school board and the superintendent taking a taxpayerfunded trip there. It seems that when the district wants more money, they portray the students as suffering from our district’s poverty, and yet when it comes to the wants of the administration and board, there’s plenty of money to be spread around. In my eyes, every dollar in the district represents the hard work of those who live in our state and our
district, and should be treated with more respect. I will not vote for any incumbent school board member as they come up for re-election, and I encourage others to do the same.
Shelley Mooth, Federal Way
Flawed approach to government surveys I was delighted to see Matthew Jarvis’ column encouraging greater participation by citizens in local government, schools and utilities in last Friday’s Federal Way Mirror. His proposed approach was
through surveys — and while initially this approach seems appealing, it does have some flaws. First — we already have multiple easy ways of citizens putting views to government. For example, all citizens can attend and speak at city council meetings. Matthew is aware of this, since he attended and spoke at the Federal Way City Council meeting the evening before his column was published. Oddly, he makes no mention of this open channel to expressing our views. Further, email addresses and phone numbers for the mayor, city council members and staff are available through the city’s website — and similar access is available for the school district and other public [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

• Are there different rules for guys and girls? If so, what are they? Why do you think they are different? Is it fair? • Do you think this is cool? If so, why? • Re: the public’s reaction to this year’s Video Music Awards — why are some people criticizing the 20-year-old woman and celebrating the older man (Robin Thicke, in this case)? • Do you think drugs or alcohol had a part in shaping Miley’s or Robin’s judgment or behavior? • If you were friends with either of them, what would you have told them before or after this? • What values do you use to help you decide if something is right or wrong? Even the best parents can’t protect their children from ever seeing a shocking media performance. Children and teens need to practice skills to help them think through situations and decide what they will do, despite the inappropriate behavior of others. Rather than disparaging celebrities, engage your kids’ brains and talk about it. It’s the right thing to do. Special thanks to Alex Mackenzie, friend and therapist in the San Francisco area, for sharing some question suggestions.
McAnalloy felt it was not appropriate to give the superintendent such a high raise prior to pay raises for district teachers and staff. He also feels that while the Global Initiative may be valuable, sending four board members and the superintendent to Europe is too many people. He also disagrees with sending a retiring board member along. He wants to see more emphasis on classrooms and graduation rates. In the race to replace retiring board member Angela Griffin, there are two candidates — Carol Gregory and Medgar Wells — who have worked in the education field. Gregory’s resume is impressive and includes classroom work, the state superintendent’s office and the governor’s office. She has previously run for the state Legislature and will probably run the best campaign. She is a Democrat. She wants to improve the graduation rates, ensure all students have access to a quality education and increase public participation. She feels that Superintendent Neu may have de-
[ LETTERS from page 4] entities. In contrast, for private companies it is often difficult or impossible to find email addresses for the CEO, board members or staff. Second — surveys are costly to run, typically have very low response rates, and then must be followed up if to be respected. There is a cost to all of this, more so in Federal Way where our diversity will probably require us to produce surveys in multiple languages. While Matthew preaches efficient government, he makes no mention of how these costs should be funded — extra taxes or reducing services like police perhaps? Third — surveys done
by private sector organizations are not quite the palliative he suggests. Very infrequently, I see feedback and changes to practice. More often the survey is a marketing ploy to make consumers feel they are being listened to, or to find consumer contact details so that they can be contacted with future offers. As with government, much the best way of registering concerns and achieving change is to do it in person in a timely manner. There is little point about complaining about the bad bed in a hotel two weeks after the visit — complain while there, and often the room is changed. So, all credit to Matthew for raising the issue that our public representatives and

staff need more feedback from citizens. However, let’s encourage more use of the channels that already exist rather than creating more work and cost for government.

rection of the school district. Barney and the current majority of board members have established a policy direction that has resulted in several awards and many positive acknowledgments. But grade standards, graduation rates, salaries and travel have raised other questions. Political observers note that McAnalloy and Gregory, while not promoting dramatic change, could align with incumbent Claire Wilson to look at policymaking in a more critical way. Wells, although he also expressed concerns about travel and salary, seems more likely to follow current board’s direction. The superintendent isn’t likely to be part of any change in direction as he seems to have the support of all the candidates. But in what may be a pointed message to the board, the Federal Way Education Association (FWEA) has endorsed McAnalloy and Gregory. The key question to voters: Which way do we go from here?

For example, the Mayor’s Food Truck Fiesta in Tampa, Fla., kicked off last week with a bunch of wheeled restaurants doling out everything from tacos to burgers to sandwiches.” My wife Karla and I had the fantastic opportunity to drive back from Florida in a “hot” merlot colored Nissan 350Z, or I should say the weather was hot, so hot in fact that we couldn’t put the top down at any point in trip. The coolest temperatures were found here in Federal Way, of course, on the day we pulled into our driveway. It was 96 degrees and screamingly beautiful. On the trip, we used our smartphones to find
interesting places to visit, restaurants to tickle our palates, and hotels to rest our weary heads. But, as we were closing in on Portland, Ore., Karla was checking out places for lunch on her iPhone. Portland has more than 500 food trucks/carts situated in what they call pods, as small as three and as large as 15 or more. We stopped at one that had roughly 12 dining opportunities clustered around a large lot. There were all kinds of selections from pizza to some pretty fancy Asian plates. The prices were very economical, but the flavors were astronomical — or perhaps that should be “gastronomical.”
What a great opportunity for Federal Way to maximize the AMC Theatres site for something many residents have been asking for and something that will definitely set Federal Way apart from its sister cities. It will easily fit within the scheme of development, and it’s extremely flexible in operation. And with the proposed fountain in that area and Mount Rainier as a backdrop, it will be enchantingly funtastic.

served a raise, but felt it was too high for only three years of tenure. She also feels the board needs to be more sensitive to the needs of employee groups who haven’t had pay raises. She doesn’t feel the Global Initiative project has been fully explained to the public, and she was surprised that four board members including Griffin were going on the Scotland trip. Wells is principal at Overcomer Academy, a K-6 private school of 140 students. He has not been involved in the district prior to running for office, although he has a professional and personal history of education involvement. His departure from the Seattle school district seems unclear. Wells is supported by Tony Moore, who is Federal Way’s current board President. Like Gregory, Wells would have supported employee raises before considering the superintendent’s raise, and would oppose Griffin being included in the Scotland trip. He does believe that sharing experiences and professional development have value. This election will provide a community pulse on the di-

Denice Anne (Brewer) Davis 12/21/52 - 07/25/13
Denice was born a tiny, 3 lb. 9 oz. first child Christmas present to John L. and Lois N. Brewer. She was a delight to the family and a caretaker to all of her siblings born after her. Denice always loved children and was a devoted babysitter to many of her cousins and neighbor children. She was a Girl Scout and member of Job's Daughters Bethel #72. She graduated from Federal Way High School in 1971 where she was a member of the drill team and orchestra, and soon after married Richard (Bruce) Kimball. Together, they had two daughters, Jennifer and Lisa. Later, Denice married Jack Davis and together they had a daughter, Lindsey. During her professional career, Denice was a highly valued employee of Pacific Northwest Bell/Qwest and worked extensively in the company’s community outreach program, Choices. In recent years, Denice resided in the adult family care home owned and operated by Marcela Pop and her family in Renton, WA. There she was loved and cared for by this warm family who welcomed her and delighted in her company. Denice was predeceased by her mother, Lois and is survived by her father, John Brewer (Lura), siblings, Steven (Dori), Cindy McKitrick (Doug) and Craig, and her children, Jennifer Rodriguez, Lisa Papez (Peggy) and Lindsey; and grandchild, Selena. Many cousins, nieces and nephews will miss her. Special people in Denice's life include Dennis and Karen whom she “adopted” when they were young children living across the street, a dear friend Denise, the entire Davis family, and many others who always remained in her heart. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

The Federal Way Police Department (FWPD) lost one of its K-9 officers. The dog known to friends, family and fellow officers as “Fax” died on Sept. 3 after battling cancer. According to a biography put together by Fax’s handler, Officer Matt Novak: “Fax, born Fax von den Herbstzeitlosen in Frankenburg, Germany, and was imported to the United States for police work at the age of one. Initially destined for a career with a Canadian police department, FWPD’s K-9 unit was the first to evaluate him.” According to Novak, Fax immediately stood out because of his exceptional drive and work ethic. Fax became a member of FWPD shortly after coming to the U.S. Novak and Fax underwent the required rigorous training, and were certified as a generalist K-9 team. Novak and Fax were tasked with the protection of his fellow officers and the community, and were most often deployed to track down and apprehend felons on the loose in the community. According to Novak’s bio, Fax assisted in the apprehension of 95 criminals in his lifetime/career, most of whom were wanted for serious, violent crimes. The German shepherd was also responsible for locating 30 pieces of evidence instrumental in criminal prosecutions, and

One of Fax’s most important apprehensions came when Fax was called to track a homicide suspect in freezing temperatures and snow. Fax was able to locate the suspect, and the suspect’s murder weapon was also recovered, which resulted in a guilty sentence and a 31.5-year prison sentence for the suspect. The loyal K-9 officer was also a mainstay in the community, joining Novak as a goodwill ambassador for the police department by attending dozens of safety fairs and similar events throughout his career and lifetime. “Fax was a loyal partner, friend, family member and protector of the community. His loss leaves a hole within the department and he will be missed by all,” Novak concluded in his bio of Fax.

BOYS TENNIS: Raiders ready to dominate Thomas Jefferson aims for state title
SEASON PREVIEW
By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Since taking over the Thomas Jefferson High School program 23 years ago, head coach Andrew Buchan has compiled a record of 235-42. Last year, the Raiders finished 10-0 in the SPSL Central, won the West Central District title and finished third at state. The program’s last loss in the SPSL came in 2008, a streak of 45 consecutive matches. “We have three goals this year: win the SPSL, win WCD, win state,” Buchan said. “We have the talent and experience to make a run and will definitely give it our best effort. Winning state is uncharted territory for TJ tennis, but we are encouraged by last year’s finish at state and the veteran returners.” Alex Chan returns for his sophomore year after finishing fifth at state last year. The four players who finished ahead of Chan are not returning to the court this season. Also back will be state veterans Cameron Martin and his older brother, Zach Martin, who finished fourth in doubles’ action at state. Also back are seniors Hakeem Clark and Vivek Ramanujan, who will play doubles. Rounding out the varsity roster will be juniors Donavon Gomez and Michael Ziccarelli. “TJ’s greatest strength this year are the state vet-

Although the top eight are very solid, the players below No. 3 doubles lack match experience.” The Raiders also added another title last year when they won the Class 4A State

Federal Way 62, Rogers 42 The third-ranked Federal Way Eagles got a scare in their season-opener Friday night at Puyallup’s Sparks Stadium. But, like they have done for the past two years, the Eagles found a way to win the South Puget Sound League South Division game. Federal Way exploded and scored 34 points in the second half to beat the Rogers Rams, 62-42. The Eagles, who have won the last two SPSL South titles with unbeaten records, trailed by 15 points during the second quarter. Their last league loss came in 2010. Federal Way leaned on its star players against the Rams. Keenan Curran and Chico McClatcher led the Eagles to the victory. Curran, the Eagles’ quarterback, finished with a career-high 274 yards on just 18 carries. McClatcher rushed 11 times for 102 yards. The pair also hooked up on a 53-yard pass.
The Rams bolted out to a 15-0 lead and led 29-28 at halftime. Rogers extended that lead when quarterback Grayson Madland hooked up with Kyler Ooley on a 71-yard touchdown on their opening possession, extending the lead to 36-28. But it was all Federal Way from that point on. The Eagles tallied four consecutive touchdowns to put the game away. James Black scored on a 15-yard run, David Tiumalu ran back an interception 20 yards, McClatcher caught the 53-yard TD and Curran bolted 60 yards. Curran added another 51-yard touchdown run late in the game. Federal Way’s first-half touchdowns came on a 19-yard McClatcher run, a 3-yard Eric Ah Fua run, a 37-yard fumble return by Charlie Taumoepeau and a 10-yard TD run by Curran. The Eagles hosted the Emerald Ridge Jaguars on Thursday (after press time) in another key SPSL South contest. [ more FOOTBALL page 12 ]

Head coach Kevin Olson brings back an impressive group of four in senior Carsten Olufson, juniors Spencer Clapp and Nick Brainard, and sophomore Devin Martinez. Clapp finished 17th at state last year. Newcomers Nick Zellerhoff, Danny Klein and Dalyn James should also provide some depth for the Gators. “We have four strong returning players, but because of our lack of depth, we are asking some inexperienced young players to develop quickly and play under varsity match pressure,” Olson said. “We should be competitive in our league if Spencer and Carsten play well. Our top players should be making a run at qualifying for the state tournament.” The Beamer boys will be leaning on Dax Wallat to lead the way during the SPSL Central season.

[ FOOTBALL from page 12] with Wilson dominating touchdown pass. Puyallup battled back with a pair of touchdowns to take a 14-7 lead. Davis and Stafford hooked up again, this time on a 75-yarder to tie the game. Beamer’s Brody Martinez then scored on a 13-yard run to put the Titans back in the lead in the second quarter, 21-14. It was all Puyallup from there. The Vikings tallied a pair of touchdowns before halftime to take a 28-21 lead into the locker room. The Titans couldn’t stop Puyallup quarterback Brendan Illies and receiver Levi Jordan. Illies finished with more than 400 yards passing and four touchdowns, and Jordan caught nine passes for 257 yards and three TDs.

the second half to run away with the non-league win. The game actually started Thursday night, but was suspended in the second quarter because of thunder and lightning in the area. Decatur scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 20-12 lead into halftime. But the second half was all Wilson. The Rams outscored the Gators, 20-0, in the third and fourth quarters to get the win. Decatur got a pair of touchdowns from Isaiah Diggs. The first came on a 42-yard pass from junior quarterback Isaiah Hatch and the second was a 10-yard run. The Gators’ third touchdown came on a 15-yard run from Devin Brown. Wilson’s Isaiah Simpson tallied three touchdown runs in the second half. Decatur traveled to Renton on Thursday night (after press time) for another non-league contest.

[16] September 13, 2013 number of retail locations [ MARIJUANA from p. 1] statewide vote in November 2012, the city’s ban stands. The liquor board approved a total of 334 marijuana retail outlets statewide, with 61 slated for King County. Seattle was approved for 21 stores, with 11 “at large” stores approved for the county. A formula based on population determined the
for each municipality. Other cities such as Kent — which was approved for three stores by the liquor board — have maintained moratoriums on recreational marijuana outlets. “If there’s a moratorium in the city, it’s not going to stop us from granting a license for a location, but we do want them to be in compliance with local regu-
www.federalwaymirror.com lations,” said Brian Smith, liquor board spokesman. Smith reiterated the board’s focus of creating a “tightly regulated market with emphasis on public safety and restricting youth access.” Although licensed and regulated by the state, the stores will be private-sector businesses. The first stores are expected to open in June 2014 with the state’s
first legally grown and processed marijuana crop. The stores could generate up to $2 billion in tax revenue statewide during the first five years, according to the liquor board. I-502 does not address medical marijuana outlets, which are exempt from the regulations applied to recreational outlets. In August, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum that
recognized the autonomy of states like Washington and Colorado to enforce their own laws related to legal marijuana cultivation, sales and regulation. The memo noted that federal enforcement priorities will focus on preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors; preventing revenues from benefiting criminal enterprises; preventing marijuana from being used as a cover for criminal activity; preventing cultivation and use of marijuana on public lands and/or federal property; preventing drugged driving; preventing violence related to cultivation and distribution; and preventing the spread of marijuana to other states.

9/11 memorial set for 2014 dedication in Federal Way By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
A steel beam from the World Trade Center, along with a rock from the crash site in Shanksville, Pa., will form the centerpiece of a future 9/11 memorial in Federal Way. The memorial will be built at South King Fire and Rescue Station 64, located on South 320th Street, just east of I-5. Originally scheduled to open this year, construction on the project was delayed
due to funding and changes in design, said Lt. Chris Burdyshaw. A committee is finalizing plans for the memorial and seeks a building permit. Burdyshaw anticipates a dedication for the site next year on Sept. 11, 2014. The memorial will also include a stalwart pear tree in tribute to the only tree that survived at Ground Zero in New York City. Nearly 3,000 people — including 343 firefighters — died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

A moment of reflection and remembrance, co-hosted by King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer, was held Wednesday at Station 64 on the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror On that date, members of the Islamic group al-Qaida hijacked four passenger jets and crashed them into both World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania. Two years ago, South King Fire’s Lt. Scott Mahlen and firefighter Sven Schievink drove to New York to retrieve the steel beam, which was stored in a warehouse at JFK International Airport. Inside the warehouse was evidence from the suicide attacks on the twin towers. There were rows of fire trucks and smashed police cars, along with a piece of jet engine from an airplane that crashed into one of the skyscrapers. Mahlen and Scheivink loaded the steel beam
onto a trailer with running boards that listed all the victims in the attacks. When they parked at Ground Zero, random people came up to the trailer to point out family members and share stories. “Ten years later, the feelings were still just as raw back there as if it had just happened,” Mahlen said of the 2011 journey. As the firefighters drove the steel beam back to Federal Way, the trailer caught the attention of passing motorists on the interstate, Mahlen said. Even at 60 mph, other vehicles would crowd around the trailer to get a glimpse of the beam. During the 2011 trip, the firefighters also picked up a rock from Shanksville, Pa., with help from the National Park Service. The cracks on
A steel beam from the World Trade Center, as seen during a remembrance in 2012, will be part of the 9/11 memorial. FILE PHOTO the rock resulted from the impact of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a field, killing all 44 people on board including the four hijackers. One of the passengers aboard that flight was Todd Beamer, who helped lead a revolt against the hijackers with the battle cry, “Let’s roll.” Beamer is the namesake for Todd Beamer High

PACC: Public weighs pros and cons By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
The Federal Way City Council held a special meeting on Sept. 5 to review the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) and the project’s progress to this point. The meeting included a public comment session after presentations by city staff and the development team from Lorax Partners and LMN Architects. A variety of concerns — from those both for and against the PACC — were raised. Concerns ranged from culture to parking to the proposed project’s costs. Resident H. David Kaplan said he was wholeheartedly in favor of the PACC, believing it could be an economic catalyst. “The breadth of activities that could be held at such a facility extends beyond the basic needs of the city itself,” he said. “For example, the Lynnwood convention center is currently holding a week-long bridge tournament attended by people from all over the country. I know of Federal Way people who are staying there for the entire week, eating in (Lynnwood’s) restaurants, and shopping in (Lynnwood’s) stores.” Resident Byron Hiller said his concerns mostly focus on running the facility. “I don’t fear building the facility, I fear running it. The facility management, I don’t think it’s reflected in the numbers,” he said, referencing a pro forma budget outline provided at the Sept. 5 meeting. “Either the numbers are dumbed down, or they’re missing key elements…If you were to get this facility built, it’d be a great thing for Federal Way, but…operating it (is) going to be a little more of a challenge. Let’s look at our Federal Way Community Center as one example of that.” Norma Blanchard raised the question why this project isn’t being put to a vote of Federal Way citizens. Mayor Skip Priest said one reason why the issue has not been put on the ballot is because of the council’s intent to not seek traditional methods for funding large public works, like Federal Way Public Schools did last year with its levy to rebuild Federal Way High School. Priest also said citizens
[ PACC from page 1] eight years. “When you come into our facility, you’re going to see that room, and you’re going to want to come in. So there’s an element that helps us in terms of cash flow for this project,” he added. Santos noted that cost projections for the project had lowered since the last presentation, from $31,750,000 to $31,350,000. If the patron room is included in the project, that total price tag would be approximately $31,850,000. “This was driven with great rigor to make sure that we’re building the appropriate facility for the project,” Santos said. “We’re not trying to gold-plate it, but also (want to) make it a special place.” There is no timeline for building the PACC, which

COURTESY IMAGE still have power over the process when it comes to voting for the council. “To some extent, there’s always a vote,” he said. “It’s called electing city council members. ... At least up until now, because there were going to be no additional funds needed from the taxpayers, because of other devices, that has not been an issue that’s been raised.” Lynda Jenkins, a 51-year resident of Federal Way, said the PACC would be out of place in the city’s blue-collar environment. “I look around Federal Way, I walk around picking up beer cans. I see a lot of trashy places, really trashy. And places that are vacant, that don’t have a lot of business,” she said. “And yet, we have people wanting this now for everybody. I don’t think everybody wants this….I just don’t think you’re going to fill it up with the average person. I don’t think they want it, I don’t think they care about it. How many people are here? Is this representative of the average citizen(s) of Federal Way? I don’t think so.” Jim Burbidge, husband of Councilmember Jeanne Burbidge, said he supports the PACC, but is concerned that local performing arts groups might be left in the cold. “One of my concerns is that this performing arts facility remain economically viable for the performing arts groups in our community,” he said. “I see the total revenue for the theater rental is $147,750 for a year, the first year. I belong to the Federal Way Chorale. How much is it going to cost the Federal Way Chorale to have two concerts in there in the fall and in the spring? How much is it going to cost for the symphony to have a concert there?” (Read more at federalwaymirror.com)
is slated for the abandoned Toys R’ Us site on 20th Avenue South. The city has promised to build the project without debt. With the addition of the patron room bumping up the total price to $31.85 million, the city would still need to make up a difference of approximately $12.9 million, according to figures provided by Patrick Doherty, economic development director. Doherty said that as it stands, the city envisions it could make that difference up with the Federal Way Coalition for the Performing Arts’ (FWCPA) capital campaign effort, and through the federal government’s New Markets Tax Credit Program. The city is hoping FWCPA can raise approximately $5.75 million, while the New Markets program could cover $7.2 million. There’s
hope that the New Markets program will be an effective source of money for the project, Doherty said. The next phase of the project will likely be a land use permit at a cost of about $65,000, Doherty said.
Fundraiser FWCPA’s Joann Piquette was also on hand to present to the council on the group’s fundraising efforts. She said the group has gotten pledges worth approximately $477,500 and has been working on grants that could potentially total out to $1.5 million or so. FWCPA is also planning on a concert/fundraising drive soon, she added. The fundraising rally will begin at 2 p.m. Nov. 23 at Saghalie Middle School and will feature six local performing groups, she said. (Read more online at federalwaymirror.com)
