WACKY WEATHER By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

An unusually powerful and wet storm has drenched Western Washington last weekend, leading to record rainfall amounts throughout the state, including Seattle. According to the National Weather Service’s (NWS) measurements on Saturday, Sept. 28, the region saw the wettest day recorded since 1948, with 1.71 inches of rain. The previous record of 1.65 inches in a day had occurred twice, in 1978 and 1953. Federal Way experienced the torrential downpour with impressive figures itself, with NSW spotters recording rainfall levels of 2.48 for that same day. According to one published report, a “spotter near Potlatch in Mason County reported an estimated 7 inches of rain — an estimate because that’s all the gauge could hold and it overflowed.” Monday saw perhaps the most bizarre manifestation

Mayor under investigation again By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest is under investigation for possible criminal theft after he was caught removing cityconfiscated campaign signs late at night. The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. Sept. 24. A

Federal Way police officer had stopped by the auxiliary building on South 333rd Street, across from City Hall, when he observed Priest removing campaign signs from the socalled “sign jail” at the side of the building. The sign jail is where the city stores confiscated campaign signs that are illegally placed in

the city. Sign owners must pay a fine to get the signs back. The officer advised his supervisor because it appeared the signs were being stolen. The officer was suspicious because the activity was taking place at night. In a letter dated Sept. 30, Chief Brian Wilson asked the Washington State Patrol to in-

vestigate the incident and “determine if prosecutorial and/or other review are warranted.” Priest told The Mirror he received an invoice for the campaign signs Sept. 24 and wrote a check for $120 that same day. The city issued Priest “This is the silly a receipt at 11:06 a.m. Sept. 25. political season.” Priest provided copies of the Mayor Skip Priest [ more PRIEST, page 26 ]

New retailers and restaurants coming to Celebration Center By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Business is buzzing at Celebration Center, located at the southwest corner of S. 320th Street and Pacific Highway in Federal Way. The site is anchored by Black Bear Diner, Rite Aid, Party City, Michael’s and a newly renovated Ross Dress for Less. Several new developments will arrive in the coming months, including a wine store and a “mystery” fast-food franchise. The recent activity reflects an upturn in people’s spending habits, said Jordan Schnitzer, president of Portland-based Harsch Investment Properties. Retailers are getting ahead of the curve as the economy shows signs of recovery, he said. The recession and its aftermath were more prolonged than anything Schnitzer had seen in 45 years. At Celebration Center, the renovation of Ross has helped increase the store’s sales due to a stronger visual presence and updated layout, he said. The entrance and parking lot were also realigned. “We’ve spent a lot of money on that corner,” Schnitzer told The Mirror. “It’s important for us to put the right tenants in to create new employment in Federal

3D mammography technology available at St. Francis Hospital From staff reports

Franciscan Health System has introduced 3D mammography as part of its comprehensive and advanced breast care services for women in South Puget Sound. The new technology, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis (or tomo), improves the early detection of breast cancer by up to 30 percent and reduces the need for additional breast screenings. Traditional 2D digital mammography continues to be the standard of care for breast screenings. The new 3D mammography technology combines with conventional 2D mam-

in the past. During the 3D part of the exam, an X-ray arm sweeps over the breast, taking multiple images in seconds. There’s no additional compression. The extra imaging only takes a few more seconds. The American Cancer Society recommends that women 40 years and older should get a yearly screening mammogram. Women do not need a written referral for a routine annual screening mammogram.

Get screened for breast cancer — it might save your life COURTESY OF Franciscan Health System

You’ve heard the statistic before: One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. So chances are you know someone who has been affected by the disease, and you may be wondering what you can do to stay cancer-free. One of the most important things you can do is get screened annually. “If you develop breast cancer, the earlier it’s detected, the easier it is to treat,” said Richard Gould, MD, division chief for Surgical Services, Franciscan Medical Group. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends

annual mammograms starting at age 40. If you have a family history of the disease or other risk factors, your doctor may suggest starting mammograms earlier. The ACS also recommends clinical breast exams every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, and annually for women ages 40 and older. It’s important that women perform regular breast self-exams. Research shows that you don’t have to follow any specific method — just get familiar with what’s normal for your breasts. Check your breasts about once a month so you’ll be able to know if something doesn’t feel right. If your mammogram shows an abnormality, you

may be called to have a second clarifying mammogram, or your doctor may recommend a biopsy. “We’re often able to schedule the biopsy within a day or two to minimize the amount of time patients wait,” Dr. Gould said. Every patient and every lump is different, so the diagnostic tests a person receives may vary, and may include an ultrasound or an MRI. The Women’s Health and Breast Center in Federal Way — a designated NQMBC Center of Excellence — gets high marks for excellent patient care and treats women with a holistic approach offering: • Alternative medicine and therapies

• Bone density testing • Digital and screening mammography • Incontinence and pelvic pain • Oncology skin care therapy • Ultrasound • Access to support groups Franciscan surgeons offer different surgical procedures for treating cancer, including a lumpectomy (removing the tumor and some tissue around it) or a mastectomy (removing the entire breast). For women who choose a mastectomy, general surgeons work alongside plastic surgeons who reconstruct the breast either during the same procedure or in a later one. Patients may also un-

dergo chemotherapy before or after surgery, depending on the type and size of the tumor. Patients who have a lumpectomy often receive radiation to eliminate microscopic cells that may remain after the surgery. Screening is important, and learning that you have

breast cancer can change your life in an instant.

A cancer diagnosis brings up emotions — and questions. “How will I care for my ailing husband during treatment?” “Can I afford to take time off from work?” “What will treatment be like?” “How will I tell the kids?” If you’re diagnosed with cancer at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way, you don’t have to face these or any other questions about your treatment alone. A Franciscan cancer nurse navigator is available to support you from diagnosis through survivorship. “When you’re diagnosed, you don’t know what to expect,” said Tricia Sinek, RD, co-manager of Franciscan Community Cancer Program. “You’ve been given information that sounds like a foreign language.” A nurse navigator helps explain what each of your appointments and tests mean, why they’re important, and why it’s critical to make sure they’re completed within a specific period of time. “All our nurse naviga-

tors have many years of oncology experience,” said Sinek. “They are instrumental in supporting and advocating for the patient.” Nurse navigation is an important part of cancer care. “I provide insight into what a patient’s treatment journey might look like,” said Susan Nixon, RN, Franciscan nurse navigator. Nixon serves breast cancer patients across the Franciscan system. However, there are nurse navigators for every type of cancer diagnosis. There are many areas where your nurse navigator can help ensure your needs are being met including social support, transportation, community programs and nutrition resources. If you have financial concerns or difficulty understanding complex treatment recommendations, your nurse navigator will also help address these issues. Anyone diagnosed with cancer can call for help from a Franciscan nurse navigator, regardless of where you received your diagnosis.

You know that eating fruits and vegetables is important for your overall health, but did you know eating lots of produce can also reduce your risk for cancer? The key is filling your plate with many different colors. “The same plant chemicals that give different fruits and vegetables their colors also help protect your body against cancer,” said Tricia Sinek, RD, a Franciscan Cancer Care expert. “Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds and they protect your cells when you eat them.” Different types of phytochemicals protect your body in different ways, so consuming a variety of produce colors is key for reaping as many benefits as you can. For instance, some phytochemicals suppress the growth of cancer. Others help your cells unload toxins that otherwise may damage the genetic material inside of your cells, thus contributing to cancer. Others strengthen your cell walls so they’re less prone to form harmful compounds in your body. “Ideally, you want to consume a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day with at least

one food from each color plants that provide lots of group,” Sinek said. Color aromas and flavors because groups include: they often • Purple and contain cancer“The same plant blue foods: grapes, chemicals that give preventing propbeets, berries and different fruits and erties, Sinek said. eggplant Examples of these vegetables their • Red and plants include colors also help orange foods: garlic, onions, protect your body tomatoes, pepherbs, spices, against cancer.” pers, apples, horseradish and oranges and sweet olives. potatoes One of the best • Green and yellow foods: ways to increase the variety kale, spinach, broccoli, of colors, odors and flavors string beans and squash in your diet is by starting In addition, consume slow.

PACC proposal isn’t in city’s best interest I write this letter not for any benefit of my own, but to express my concern over the idea of creating a Federal Way Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC). Though I only provide three points here, I could go on for about 15 more. 1. I grew up as a resident of Federal Way, attended Thomas Jefferson High School and subsequently studied drama at New York University. Many of my professors had designed, performed and directed on the Broadway stage. It was here that I learned early

Council race is full of contrasts The race between appointed incumbent Diana Noble-Gulliford and candidate Martin Moore should be the closest of the three city council races, and provides some interesting contrasts. While both have a commitment to the community, they are very different people. Noble-Gulliford is female, Republican, moderate-conservative, and has played a part in almost every civic issue for several decades. The cityhood committee, Friends of the Hylebos, the Historical Society of Federal Way and the City Planning Commission are just a few of her areas of involvement. Her background also includes banking and real estate. Supporters describe Noble-Gulliford as a “doer” who doesn’t seek the spotlight. Although she ran unsuccessfully for the council before, her appointment is the culmination of a lifelong journey of community participation. While politically active, higher office seems unlikely for her. And don’t be fooled by her quiet unassuming manner — she can be firm in pursuing goals that she feels are best for the city, and she can hold her ground even when pressured. That background has provided Noble-Gulliford a seasoning that usually only comes after several years in office. She has been endorsed by School Board President Tony Moore, and fellow Councilmembers Susan Honda and Kelly Maloney. She will get support from much of the Republican establishments. Her Municipal League rating was “very good.” While Noble-Gulliford has been part of the

community fabric for years, Martin Moore’s visibility is more recent and, in some ways, more representative of a “newer” Federal Way. Moore has lived here most of his life after being adopted by a Federal Way couple as a child from his native Bulgaria. He may lack Noble-Gulliford’s lengthy experience, but his time with AmeriCorps and personal background provide cultural awareness, and his knowledge of City Hall includes time on the Parks and Rec Commission. While this is Moore’s first run for elected office, he is far from a beginner, as he has managed several local campaigns. He is an active Democrat and has the endorsement of many Democratic officeholders. But he also ran Bob Celski’s successful campaign for the city council. Since Celski is viewed as a conservative and likely a Republican, some Democrats weren’t happy about Moore’s participation. However, the Democrats did endorse Moore, and his assistance to Celski yielded an endorsement from Celski, which might have typically gone to fellow conservative council member Noble-Gulliford. That’s a gain for Moore in seeking crossover voters, but a big risk for Celski if Moore doesn’t win, especially when his own re-election comes up in two years. Moore also got the support of Len Englund, who is a former Republican district chairman. Moore is described as a “hard worker” and is supported by Congressman Adam Smith, [ more ROEGNER, page 12 ]

EDITORIAL

It seems everywhere I go in town, people are mad as hell about Federal Way Public Schools. This year there is something for everyone. Blood is boiling over the superintendent’s $42,000-per-year “performance” raise, the school board’s $80,000-plus travel budget, the poor grades given to our schools by the state, and finally, the arrest of the school board’s president. Last but not least, I recently learned that the Wildwood Elementary staff are, understandably, upset that I suggested their school be closed after receiving an “F” grade. Unless you’re willing to take action, being mad as hell is only going to result in high blood pressure and maybe an ulcer. Before we form a lynch mob, let’s first get some perspective. Community ire with FWPS started when it was announced that the superintendent received a $42,000 raise, putting his salary (not including benefits) at $240,000. Rob Neu is now tied for second highest paid superintendent in the state, despite being the eighth largest district and ranking 129th in test scores. While Neu’s salary may seem absurd, you would be hard-pressed to find a CEO of a company with $204 million of revenue who isn’t being paid significantly more than Neu. On the other hand, the governor oversees a budget of $32 billion for a “mere” $166,000 salary. Just as this fire was getting started, the community realized that the superintendent and school board will be spending some $80,000 to travel the world. Ignoring that one of the country’s top education consultants lives in Federal Way, or that the Gates Foundation is just up the road, the school board decided that the grass was greenest outside of the U.S. In fairness to the school board, $80,000 represents just 0.04 percent of the district’s annual budget. This would be similar to a family earning $100,000 and spending $40 on a couple of selfhelp books. On the other hand, you could almost hire two teachers with the school board’s travel budget. If these two items weren’t enough to sharpen the pitchforks, school board president Tony Moore was arrested on charges of felony theft. In my mind, this is a non-issue. If he is found guilty, I’ll be the first to demand his resignation. Until proven guilty, Moore is innocent and should be treated as such. If you’re still mad as hell, I suggest one or more of the following actions: • Volunteer at your local school • Write a letter to the editor • Actively support school board candidates who are running against an incumbent [ more JARVIS, page 12 ]

Due to limited print space, more letters are available online at federalwaymirror.com. and often about the mechanics of running a “successful” arts organization. For beginners, it takes a complete and full-time staff, both in development and in marketing — people who will tirelessly work for something they believe in that is bigger than themselves. But more importantly, there needs to exist a desire for that culture. As you might imagine, New York City is one of the premiere spots in the world for people seeking culture. Even still, organiza-

tions with far less than $31 million (which Federal Way hopes to pour into the PACC) fight for survival. It pains me to read this week that the New York City Opera will be filing for bankruptcy. That is the top opera in the United States. These are companies with established season ticket holders, borderline celebrity talent, and legacies we can only dream of in our dear city and still, they falter under today’s economic climate and cultural interest. 2. What is additionally concern-

ing is the PACC website stating that “Lorax Partners of Seattle engaged an expert in performing arts center management to provide an independent operational pro forma analysis of the proposed PACC.” An expert that manages a facility? This study hardly seems comprehensive to me. If a private business were investing $31 million, they would certainly do extensive research across multiple centers in many, many cities with a diverse group of experts before ever laying the first stone. We as a public should hold the decision makers in our community to that standard. 3. While at Thomas Jefferson [ more LETTERS, page 12 ]

Q&A with Mr. Federal Way: Politicians and pumpkin love Q: Mr. Federal Way, impressive couple weeks for the mayor of Federal Way and the president of the school board, right? A: For some reason, Mr. Federal Way thinks you are being just a little bit sarcastic with that question, and that made Mr. Federal Way chuckle. Federal Way School Board President Tony Moore and Mayor Skip Priest have both provided “front-page news” across Western Washington within the past week. And not the “good” kind of frontpage news. Intentional

or not (and that will be determined at a later date by people other than Mr. Federal Way), Moore and Priest have brought attention that the city of Federal Way didn’t need. Obviously, we live in America and people are innocent until proven guilty. But Moore being arrested for allegedly stealing more than $150,000 worth of semi-truck tires, and Priest being under investigation for possible criminal theft after he was caught removing city-confiscated campaign signs late at night, just doesn’t look good.

Not at all. It makes Federal Way seem like the wild, wild west or something. The perception outside of town is that Mr. Federal Way lives in a place where people in charge can do whatever they want. Mr. Federal Way will take on the Moore case first. If convicted, the school board president faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, which is a very, very big deal. One thing Mr. Federal Way has learned over the years is that Mr. Federal Way never wants to spend one minute in prison. Mr. Federal Way loves his freedom, to say the least. Moore was arrested at SeaTac Airport as he boarded a plane to Amsterdam on a $50,000 trip sponsored

within the school district. Mr. Federal Way, who has kids going to school within the district, could come up with a very long list of different ways to spend all that cash. Neu was quoted as saying that the global travel “will ensure our students are prepared for a more competitive, diverse and interconnected world than the one we grew up in.” Mr. Federal Way would like our students to be prepared for life in Federal Way before worrying about China or Amsterdam. How does going to a physical classroom in Asia and Europe help students in Federal Way? If you want to visit a classroom across the world, set up your smartphone and

Skype each other. Wouldn’t that accomplish the same thing and cost a grand total of $0? Skype is a free app. As Neu said, we need to ensure our students are prepared for an interconnected world, and nowadays, it’s very, very easy to be interconnected. And it doesn’t take jumping on a Boeing 747 to do that. All you need is an iPhone or a laptop. Mr. Federal Way can sit at the computer and surf blogs and other websites that describe, in detail, the nuances of the educational system in Amsterdam, pros and cons. That’s being interconnected, folks. The case of Mayor Priest is different than Moore’s predicament. That’s not saying Priest shouldn’t get into [ more MR. FW page 12 ]

by the school district. He was released from King County Jail on Sept. 20 after posting a $50,000 bond. But the arrest isn’t what has everybody up in arms on The Mirror’s comment board. It was the Federal Way School Board’s taxpayer-funded trip to Europe that created most of the venom, which is weird. Mr. Federal Way tends to not see the point of taking my tax dollars and sending elected officials to Europe. Moore, along with Superintendent Rob Neu, also made a trip to China in April at a cost of $33,350. What’s the point? Mr. Federal Way has no idea. From the outside looking in, the trips seem like a giant waste of money that could be diverted elsewhere

In addition to these actions, perhaps it is time to start our own charter school. With no disrespect to the fine teachers and administrators in our district, our current system is broken. While charter schools are hardly a miracle cure, we might get better results than the trips to Europe. Either way, posting on Facebook doesn’t do a damn thing. If you’re angry about Federal Way Public Schools, do something about it.

High School, I participated in three of the yearly musicals that consistently received recognition from the 5th Avenue Awards honoring high school musical theater. In my senior year, our production of “The Secret Garden” was nominated for eight individual awards while also receiving five honorable mentions. It was truly an incredible piece. Yet even still, our Little Theater of just over 100 seats remained unfilled during a couple of performances. The PACC will not be a case of “if you build it, they will come.” My opinion? Give even 1 percent of the PACC’s total cost to Laird Thornton over at TJHS and watch the magic he can create with a whole army of “theater moms” to run promotion. That kind of attention will draw arts-minded families to Federal Way. Give Alan Bryce over at Centrestage Theatre a strong marketing budget to drive traffic to the fantastic shows he puts on. That kind of attention will draw crowds whose kids aren’t part of the school system. Hire someone to drive all of this proposed traffic to the Knutzen Family Theatre and Dumas Bay. Create summer programs that help engage the youth from a cultural standpoint. Federal Way is a city of families. Like Federal Way’s sports clubs, the community will get behind what their kids are passionate about.

trouble if he really snuck into a gated area where illegally-placed campaign signs are stored. But, if found guilty of sneaking into Federal Way’s “sign jail,” Priest won’t be spending any time in prison. A Federal Way police officer had stopped by the city’s “sign jail” near City Hall when he observed Priest removing his campaign signs. The officer advised his supervisor because it looked like the signs were being stolen, and because the activity was taking place at night. According to Priest, the whole sign debacle is a big misunderstanding because of the “silly political season.” Priest claims he wrote a check for $120 the same day he was caught taking the signs from “sign jail,” and a city employee gave a statement that the mayor paid for the signs prior to retrieving them. However, that employee’s statement was withheld from release due to the investigation, according to a police spokeswoman. Pretty crazy stuff. It’s also stuff that doesn’t make the city of Federal Way look very good. Q: How about them Seahawks? Can you get me tickets? A: The Seahawks are good. Really, really, really good, actually. Super Bowl good. And, no, Mr. Federal Way cannot get you any tickets. But your question did make Mr. Federal Way check out how much getting tickets to a sold-out Seahawks game would be. Let’s just say it costs a lot. The cheapest tickets Mr. Federal Way could find to the Seattle-New Orleans game Dec. 2 at CenturyLink Field was $194.50 per seat. Pretty aggressive. Mr. Federal Way will stick to watching the games on

Mr. Federal Way’s high-definition TV and not paying $10 for a beer. Go Seahawks! Q: Hey Mr. Federal Way, why does the pumpkin only get “love” during the month of October? A: That is a great question and something Mr. Federal Way has never thought about until now. Thinking a little more about it, Mr. Federal Way would love to eat and drink pumpkinflavored delicacies all year long. Who doesn’t like a big piece of pumpkin pie with a scoop of homemade whipped cream on the top? It’s perfect. Starbucks also sells an amazing amount of pumpkin spice lattes during the fall every year, but they are off the menu after Halloween. Mr. Federal Way thinks the extremely short pumpkin window exists because the pumpkin is only “in season” during the fall. But that can’t be the case because Mr. Federal Way can buy corn and avocados all year round. Can’t you grow everything in a greenhouse or something? It kind of reminds Mr. Federal Way of the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s. The fast-food king only sells the mintflavored shake around St. Patrick’s Day every year, and people can’t get enough of them. It would seem like a good business decision to offer the Shamrock Shake year round. So, in conclusion, this question has got Mr. Federal Way thinking about a possible business venture to occupy one of the seemingly hundreds of empty storefronts in town. Mr. Federal Way will call it “The Pumpkin Patch” and it would sell pumpkinflavored everything, plus a similar version of the Shamrock Shake.

the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), although both support it. Both place public safety as a high priority. NobleGulliford wants more focus on economic development, and Moore emphasizes better connection to the neighborhoods. Moore came out of the primary with a slight lead. However, the third-place finisher Ryan Miller is a Republican who has endorsed Noble-Gulliford, and their combined vote total was higher than Moore’s.

Linda Kochmar (R) is supporting NobleGulliford. Even though the vote is still weeks away, some political observers think Kochmar might also be playing defense. If Moore wins, he would be well positioned to run against her in the future. But first things first. City positions are non-partisan, but party politics will play a role in who wins. Republicans have more issues,

candidates and reasons to vote. Even with an expected low turnout, the Republican base will mail their ballots. The bigger question is, will Democrats do the same? And how much will the Federal Way mayoral race, the school district’s controversies and the PACC affect turnout? A big turnout helps Democrats, but a small turnout helps Republicans. The upcoming debates could change it, but for now, a slight edge goes to Noble-Gulliford.

Federal Way senior has won three individual state titles, Tia Thomas finished third in 2012 By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way High School girls swimming and diving team isn’t lacking for individual talent this season. Longtime head coach Carla Boone brings back two of the better athletes this year in Kenna Ramey and Tia Thomas. Ramey pulled off the rare double at last season’s Class 4A Girls Swimming and Diving Championship inside the King

County Aquatic Center. Ramey repeated her state championship swim in the 50-yard freestyle and also won the 100-yard butterfly gold medal. Both winning times were personal bests, which is the goal of any swimmer. Ramey swam a blazing 23.44 to easily outdistance Wenatchee’s Hannah Bruggman (23.68) in the 50 free. Ramey’s time was good enough to earn automatic AllAmerican honors. Ramey also went wire-to-wire in the 100 fly final, finishing in a time of 56.00. The swim was good enough to earn All-American consideration. Thomas also had an impressive performance at the state meet. As a sophomore, Thomas garnered a bronze medal at state by scoring

349.7 points in the 1-meter diving event. Joining Ramey and Thomas as returners for the Eagles will be junior Kolby Blake, senior Lynsey Yunker and sophomores Jenin and Karen Um. Federal Way is hoping to improve on the 5-2 record they compiled in the South Puget Sound League last season. “Their ability to get along with each other and help each other whether it is in the pool, at school or outside of school is a strength of this team,” Boone said. “The success of this team is not counted in wins or losses. The success for FWHS is how well they work as a team and see themselves as a family. From our state champion (Ramey) to our newest members that [ more swimming page 14 ]

The Todd Beamer golf program was left on the outside looking in. Just a month before the fall high school season was set to begin, the Titans were informed that their home course, Sumner Meadows, would be shutting down. But that’s when Beamer’s head boys coach, Brent Brilhante, and girls Dax Wallat coach, Justin Mentink, along with the Titans’ athletic director, Jerry Peterson, contacted Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. After sitting down with Twin Lakes head pro Chris Johnson, a pair of country club board members and Decatur head coach Kevin Olson, the Beamer staff came up a plan to make Twin Lakes Beamer’s new home course. Twin Lakes already is the home course for Decatur, where Brilhante and Mentink graduated. “We worked out a schedule that day and it has worked out perfectly for our kids,” Brilhante said. “We are so thankful for Twin Lakes saving our season and hope to continue having this awesome club as our home course.” [ more golf page 14 ]

Wrap up: Eagle football back on track Federal Way uses big plays to outrun Bethel, 45-18, and Beamer outlasts TJ in non-league football matchup; Titan golfers squeak past Jefferson By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way High’s Piper Hutchinson goes after the ball during the Eagles’ game against Puyallup Thursday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. casey olson, The Mirror

The big plays were back for the Federal Way High School football team Thursday night. A week after dropping the program’s first South Puget Sound League South Division game since 2010, the Eagles dominated the Bethel Braves Thursday, 45-18, at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Federal Way’s dynamic offense tallied five touchdowns in the first three quarters of 49 yards or longer against Bethel (1-3). The victory comes after

Graham-Kapowsin beat the Eagles, 39-21, last Thursday. Federal Way has won the last two SPSL South Division championships. The Eagles (3-1) bolted out to a quick 19-0 lead after the first quarter on a 49-yard touchdown pass from senior Keenan Curran to Chico McClatcher, a 72-yard Curran run and a 52-yard touchdown pass from McClatcher to Max Lautalo. After a 44-yard Bethel field goal made it 19-3, Federal Way tallied the next three touchdowns to take a commanding 38-3 lead into the fourth quarter. McClatcher scored on a 67-yard run, Curran had a 96-yard touchdown run and Travis Martin caught a 5-yard pass from D’Jimon Jones. Curan added his third touchdown run of the night in the fourth quarter from 19 yards out to finalize Federal Way’s scoring barrage. Bethel tallied a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. The Eagles will travel to Sparks Stadium on Friday [ more wrap up page 15 ]

TJ grad wins Golf Channel tournament Oakley Murphy finished off a clutch performance last week to win the top flight of the Golf Channel Amateur Tour National Championships at PGA West in Palm Springs, Calif. The Thomas Jefferson High Oakley Murphy School graduate defeated Colorado’s Paul Erdman in a playoff to win the title. Murphy overcame an opening round of 82 to record rounds of 71, 68 and 73 at PGA West. He sunk a 5-foot par putt on the final hole to force a playoff with Erdman. The two finished seven shots clear of the rest of the field. Murphy prevailed on the first playoff hole, the par-4 10th hole, to win his first national championship crown. Murphy, 21, was an allleague baseball player during his time at Jefferson, but

never made it to the state tournament as a golfer. He currently works at Riverbend Golf Course in Kent. Murphy credits his grandfather for introducing him to the game when he was in high school. He said the championship victory was his top golf achievement. “I like the pressure,” Murphy told GolfChannel.com. “I like playing the game. Next year I’m going to play some bigger tournaments, try to qualify for stuff.” Murphy and the rest of the field had to deal with a high-wind advisory during the final round at PGA West. Before the wind picked up, Murphy managed an eagle on the par-5 2nd hole. But the back nine was a far different story, playing well over par. “It’s hard to go low when it’s windy, Murphy said. “So I just tried to hang in there and make par.”

Northshore GC won’t be developed It looks like the long road of saving the Northshore Golf Course is finally, officially over. The state Supreme Court decided this week not to review a ruling by a lower court, therefore ending the multi-year battle fighting an 860-home development of the golf course.

Neely will also be counting on newcomers Morgan Vance (breaststroke and butterfly) and sophomore diver Nadia Testroat to score points, along with senior Sem Vandenbusch, who is an exchange student from the Netherlands. “Everyone must challenge themselves daily in practice by working hard and concentrating on proper technique,” Neely said. “Teammates need to support each other all season.” No information was provided to the Mirror regarding the Decatur and Jefferson girls swim and dive teams.

ruling because the developer of the proposed Point at Northshore filed land-use paperwork two days late that meant the entire case should be dismissed. The developer asked the state Supreme Court to review that decision, but the court denied the request Tuesday. Everything began back in 1981, when the Northshore Golf Course was rezoned as part of a 341-acre planned residential district, when the North Shore Country Club Estates development was approved for construction, then built around the fairways of the then-private course. Fast forward to 2006, when the golf course’s owners, Northshore Investors LLC, agreed to sell the property to developers, who then claimed that the 1981 rezone should be thrown out because the owners couldn’t continue to operate the golf course. But, in 2010, Pierce County Hearing Examiner Wick Dufford ruled against several aspects of the development. He denied the preliminary plat and site plan and recommended the denial of an application for a rezone modification, which was needed to construct over the golf course. The developers sued, and the case made its way through the courts until Tuesday, when the Supreme Court decided not to review it.

The Titans (2-2) outlasted the Raiders (2-2) in a non-league battle Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. After pulling out to a commanding 15-0 lead at halftime, Jefferson scored a pair of touchdowns in the final two quarters to tighten the game up. In fact, the Raiders had a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Zach Grayson scored TJ’s second touchdown of the night on a 73-yard run to cut the Beamer lead to 15-14. But the Raiders failed on an attempt at a 2-point conversion, which would have given TJ the lead. Beamer’s first-half touchdowns came on a 3-yard pass from quarterback Taylor Davis to Christian Stafford and a 51-yard fumble return by Adrian Shocks. The Titans also added a safety in the second quarter to make it 15-0. Jefferson’s other score came on a 1-yard run by Tyrell Williams in the third quarter. The Raiders took on Auburn Riverside last night (after press time) and Beamer hosts Curtis tonight.

Federal Way High School graduate D.J. May had a very impressive freshman season at the University of Wyoming. The 5-foot-11, 196-pound running back played in 11 games last season for the Cowboys and led the team in rushing. May, as a true freshman, ran for 374 yards and averaged nearly five yards per carry. Things were only going to get better for May and the Cowboys this season. But his sophomore year will have to wait until 2014. During the summer, May tore his left pectoral muscle while lifting weights, forcing him to sit out the entire season. May is currently red-shirting for Wyoming, who are 3-1 on the season with wins over Idaho, Northern Colorado and Air Force. The Cowboys’ only loss came to Nebraska, 37-34, in Lincoln. “It sucks. It’s always going to suck, but you can’t keep thinking like that. You still got to get better somehow,” May told the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune. “So I have to work on my legs, get in the film room and help the new guys. That’s really my role now.” As a senior at Federal Way in 2011, May rushed for 1,320 yards on 139 attempts, scored 18 rushing touchdowns, one receiving TD and returned two interceptions for touchdowns. He also caught 13 passes for 140 yards.

Mayoral candidates Priest made a case for the city being on the right path, while Ferrell argued that the city could do better. Both candidates displayed a passion for serving their city. Both championed the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location in the region as an asset in doing business. A question asked was what each candidate would do to improve Federal Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall economic climate. Ferrell said he would hire a full-time economic development director, clean up downtown, focus on a downtown park/development, actively recruit businesses, and reach out to existing businesses with an ombudsman.

Priest said he would keep the city in a position so that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to implement a business and occupation (B&O) tax, and cited his experience as a business owner 30 years ago as an asset to understanding what it takes to retain businesses today. One point of contention came when the candidates were asked about ensuring the arrival of Sound Transitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light rail in Federal Way. Although approved by voters, the light rail project was delayed indefinitely in Federal Way because of a tax revenue shortfall in South King County. Priest said his vocal outrage â&#x20AC;&#x153;sent a messageâ&#x20AC;? that resulted in a $24 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;shovel readyâ&#x20AC;? plan implemented by King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer and State Sen. Tracey Eide. However, Ferrell correctly pointed out that Federal Way was out of the loop on that deal, and noted how Priest â&#x20AC;&#x153;frayed relationshipsâ&#x20AC;? in attempting to dismantle Sound Transit at the state level.

By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council agreed to send a letter to the King County Council outlining concerns regarding the now proposed exclusion of a new garbage/recycling trans-

fer station in South King County. Late last year, the Federal Way council voiced its displeasure toward the possible placement of the transfer station on the borders of Federal Way on South 320th Street. At the time, the county took that option off the table. Since that first scuffle over the transfer station,

[ CANDIDATES from page 24] Another question asked whether the candidates would hire a city administrator if elected. Priest said he didn’t need a city administrator. He cited his experience managing a small business, and said he was capable of managing a city budget (nearly $40 million). Ferrell said he was open to the Skip Priest idea of a city administrator, and said the position of mayor could be better used to recruit businesses, capital and investment. Another difference was shown in a question on whether the candidates would support a public Kelly Maloney vote for the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), a proposed $32 million project in downtown Federal Way. Ferrell said he strongly supports a public PACC vote. Hundreds of people have told him they want a vote, he said, adding that Jeanne Burbidge with a public investment this massive, “Why not?” Priest noted that the city is already on the hook for $5 million, and is working on a plan to pay for the operating cost. The project is still in the planning stages. “We’re not ready to go to Diana Noble-Gulliford voters because we’re not ready ourselves,” he said.

Council candidates: Yes or no In a “lightning round” of sorts, city council candidates answered questions by holding up a sign that said yes or no. Notable highlights: • When asked whether Federal Way needed additional apartment complexes, all candidates answered no. • When asked whether Federal Way should adopt a business and occupation (B&O) tax, all candidates answered no. • When asked whether Federal Way should allow marijuana dispensaries, all candidates answered no, except for Moore.

Action items for FW Among the questions, city council candidates were asked about their top “action item” for Federal Way. • Maloney: The city should implement her “college initiative” to bring a research and/or higher education facility to the downtown core. Such a facility will attract more businesses and create jobs. • Koppang: Jobs are his top priority. The city should proactively recruit Seattle and Tacoma businesses and bring them to Federal Way, which has a lower tax burden.

one option now being proposed is to not build a new transfer station in South King County at all. This will have a ripple effect on costs to the cities and residents in South King County, according to Ken Miller, deputy director of public works in Federal Way. “Without transfer station access, service costs will increase for our rate

payers,” Miller said at the council’s Oct. 1 meeting. Waste Management has estimated a $2 million to $3 million increase in costs for the whole of South King County, which includes Au-

That strategy will create more opportunities for businesses. • Burbidge: The city is missing “a downtown we can be proud of.” She said the city can bring more businesses and broaden tax revenues through the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC). • Fairbanks: The city needs to work on its infrastructure, such as roads and sewers, to bring in more Jim Ferrell businesses. The downtown should be redeveloped and rezoned to allow wider usage beyond “retail and fast food.” • Noble-Gulliford: The city needs more living wage jobs right now. She wants to organize a strategy for Mark Koppang economic development with input from organizations such as the Federal Way Chamber to ascertain what it would take to bring more jobs to the city. • Moore: The city lacks a long-term vision. The city should focus on the future, John Fairbanks including support for STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education. Developing downtown will create an environment that promotes job growth.

Attracting new businesses to FW • Maloney: She cited her college initiative, and said the city must continue to streamline its permit process, while acknowledging there is still more work to be done. • Koppang: He believes there will always be a need for improvement, but the key is to compete for businesses in the regional marketplace by ensuring that the city is business-friendly and proactive. • Burbidge: Public input is the key, along with communicating and getting together to overcome any obstacles to being a successful business. • Fairbanks: The city needs to keep up with technology and recruit tech-related businesses. Every person represents a learning experience, which can contribute to meeting the needs of businesses and bringing more to the city. • Noble-Gulliford: She wants to make sure everyone knows that Federal Way is open for business, and cited a local developer’s satisfaction in working with the city at the Celebration Center, which is bringing in new retailers and restaurants. • Moore: He wants to identify inefficiencies in city government, improve the permit process, and regularly meet with business leaders and Chamber members to find solutions.

receipt and check, but did not have a copy of the invoice. Priest, who is running for re-election, said he had previously asked city staff about the process for retrieving confiscated campaign signs. As for the receipt being issued the day after taking the signs, Priest said the city may have been waiting for his check to clear. Wilson said a city employee gave a statement that Priest paid for the signs prior to retrieving. However, that employee’s statement was withheld from release due to the investigation, according to a police spokeswoman. “I paid for (the signs) before I took them,” Priest told The Mirror, and said that he even waved at a police officer while retrieving his signs. “I honestly have no understanding of what this is about.” Priest said he didn’t know who “leaked” the investigation to the media. “This is the silly political season,” he said, noting that the police are rightfully looking into this incident. Except for portable signs, all private signs are prohibited in Federal Way rights-of-way, according to city code. A right-of-way is defined as the area of public property that contains roadways, planting strips, sidewalks, landscaping, streetlights and utility infrastructure. It is the sign installer’s responsibility to place signs in compliance with the city code. The non-compliant signs are confiscated by city staff. According to the city’s rules, confiscated signs are held at City Hall for a period of 14 days, then will be disposed. To retrieve a confiscated sign, a person must make an appointment with city staff. There is a fee of $5 per sign, which is paid at City Hall. Surveillance footage shows Priest backing up to the sign jail’s gate in his Volvo sedan. He opens the gate, enters the sign jail and looks around. He returns to his car to retrieve a towel, then walks back into the sign jail, where he wipes off one

FYI: Another investigation Priest was subject to another investigation in May. A formal complaint was filed May 9 by Councilmember Kelly Maloney after a conversation she had with Priest. 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 to intimidate Maloney and claimed the mayor also cried. To investigate the complaint, the city hired attorney Eileen M. Baratuci of Arbitration, Investigation and Mediation (AIM) Services based in Port Townsend. 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,” a term that Priest uses to describe a harsh style of communication. The investigator concluded that the mayor “may have irritated or upset some of his colleagues, but he’s done nothing that would warrant pursuing this investigation any further.” The investigator also reported a concern that the complaint “was being used for political objectives.”

submitted a completed land use application…Patrick Doherty and I personally met with the CEO of DevCo to tell them we were extremely disappointed that the housing would be lowto middle-income and not mixed levels (of income), and (that we were) disappointed they informed the city so late in the process.” DevCo is a private for-profit company whose president, Jack Hunden, has specialized in building affordable multi-family rental housing for nearly two decades. DevCo has built 15 low-income housing developments all over the state. Just like previous projects, DevCo is applying to the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC) to secure funding for the Federal Way apartments. DevCo projects that have utilized the commission’s housing credit program include The Seasons Apartment Homes at Lea Hill Village in Auburn, which opened in 2008, and Heatherwood Apartments in Mill Creek, which opened in 2004. The Housing Finance Commission will hold public hearings for each project funded. The city intends to “submit a letter to the Housing Finance Commission describing in more detail the city’s comprehensive plan policies,” and also would “describe the city’s

efforts for redevelopment of the downtown and describe the cumulative effect of the four recent proposals (the city has) received,” the mayor said.

City’s report The city prepared a report to outline some of its concerns regarding DevCo’s proposed projects in Federal Way. Some of the points include: • Because of DevCo’s efforts to seek funding from the WSHFC, units are required to be “made available to households earning no more than 60 percent of the median household income in the county.” According to the city, this is about 90 percent of the median household income for renters in Federal Way, which would roughly translate to $900 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. • Federal Way already has 14,121 renter-occupied housing units. According to the city, “Countywide planning policies do not distinguish rental or owner occupied housing. The City of Federal Way should supply 16 percent of housing units for those citizens earning 51-80 percent of the area median income in King County ($36,000-$56,450).” The city already “exceeds the Countywide Planning Policy and provides 35 percent of housing units for those earning moderate incomes for a total of 11,996 housing units.” • Because of the already well established stock of housing for low- to moderate-income owners and renters, the city feels it is “far in excess of its required level of affordable housing within this bracket … such

a large additional influx of housing within this bracket would be detrimental to the long-term needs of the city.”

FYI: Affordable Housing Council Mayor Skip Priest, who is running for re-election, has been endorsed by the Affordable Housing Council. The council is a political action committee by the Master Builders Association of Seattle and Snohomish Counties. The council has also donated $900 toward Priest’s campaign, according to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC). The council consists of 21 members who are builders in King and Snohomish counties. The aforementioned DevCo Inc. is not a member. The Affordable Housing Council interviews candidates for endorsements. Priest was also endorsed by the council during his days as a Republican state representative. As the name suggests, the Affordable Housing Council assists housing-friendly candidates. The term “housing” refers to single-family and multi-family developments, according to council president Jim Potter. Potter noted that “affordable housing” has developed an elastic definition in recent years because the term is sometimes seen as a negative euphemism for low-income housing. The council defines the term in its literal sense as “all housing that is affordable.” Priest told The Mirror that DevCo’s proposed project doesn’t meet the city’s vision for housing in the downtown area, but that there is nothing the city can do to stop construction.
