Mark Twain Elementary teachers win money for classroom supplies The Federal Way Wal-Mart store on South 314th Street awarded $50 gift cards to 20 teachers from Mark Twain Elementary School. The honor was part of the company’s Teachers Reward Program. “A lot of teachers dig into their own pockets for classroom supplies,” said store manager Josh Proctor, noting that the program has contributed $4.5 million total to schools nationwide. Mark Twain teachers/staff who received gift cards: Natasha Yanez, Parvin Strong, Lorraine Comery, Colleen Richardson, Dianna Sullivan, Angela Forbes, Alexandra Hernandez, Marla Claffey, Melissa Brooks, Taylor Stafford, Katie McEachern, Janet Genord, Ashley Maxwell, Anne Wolfrom, Jessica Gibbs, Mary Whitley, Barbara Egan, Melanie Wetzel, Margaret Bourgette, April Moffett.

Illahee needs streetlight Concerns surface over safety and crosswalk at school By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

The Federal Way Mirror hosted a public forum for mayoral and city council candidates on Oct. 9 at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. General election ballots will be mailed Oct. 16. Deadline for voter registration is Oct. 28. The election is Nov. 5.
Federal Way staff and city council members discussed the possibility of installing a streetlight near Illahee Middle School to increase safety in the school zone and associated crosswalk. The issue was brought to the attention of Parks and Recreation, Public Safety and Human Services committee chair Susan Honda by a local resident. Senior traffic engineer Rick Perez and Public Works
Director Cary Roe outlined the possibilities to try and make the area safer. Concerns were raised about inadequate lighting at the existing crosswalk at Illahee, 36001 1st Ave. S. Students are also crossing away from the existing crosswalk, Perez said in a brief presentation Oct. 8. “There’s one streetlight that’s on 361st… that’s not intended to light the crosswalk,” he said, noting there is no mechanism to properly light the crosswalk. Perez said the crosswalk issue is mostly driven by where parents are able to drop off their students. Children cross the street where they’re dropped off, which is [ more ILLAHEE, page 10 ]
Skip Priest is the city’s first elected mayor, which is a position Jim Ferrell (the city’s deputy mayor) created through a ballot initiative in 2009. Priest is a former state representative. Ferrell is a King County prosecutor. At Wednesday’s forum, Priest and Ferrell clashed over the direction of the city, both in terms of public safety and economic development. Priest consistently said that he presided over the city during a recession and had to make difficult cuts. When a city allows its parks and roads to go downhill, he said, it starts a “down-
ward spiral” from which recovery can be impossible. “I make no apologies for our commitment to frugal innovation,” said Priest, noting a mantra he adopted upon his election. “I didn’t get us into (the recession). I was the one who got us out of it.” Ferrell said Priest’s “frugal innovation” came at the expense of a properly staffed police department, and said the city can do a better job of addressing crime. One example Ferrell cited was that on Sunday, seven officers were on duty for a city of 90,000 when that number should be 10 officers. “Frugal innovation is a cruel hoax,” Ferrell said. “We are cutting to the bone and calling it innovation.” Priest said a lot of positive things are happening in Federal Way, such as the reduction of empty office space by nearly half, and a reinvestment in The Commons mall by its corporate owner. Ferrell said the current administration lacks a [ more CANDIDATES, page 14 ]

Sacajawea Middle School and Todd Beamer High School were placed on temporary lockdown Tuesday morning after a threat of violence. The threat stemmed from a domestic protection order that was served by Federal Way police on a non-custodial parent, according to police. The mother notified police that the father had called to say he was going to pick up one of the children at school, but was not specific on which child. When the mother told the father that he could not do so, he implied that he had a handgun and would have a “shootout with police,” thus prompting the lockdowns. Police sent additional officers to both schools. The father was interviewed by police.

The suspect was arrested. • Shots fired: At 1:59 a.m. Oct. 6 in the 2300 block of SW 336th Street, police responded to a call about a fight at a bar.

Police hunt for suspect in attempted abductions Federal Way police seek a suspect involved in the attempted abduction of two young children over the weekend. The first incident occurred around 5:20 p.m. Oct. 5. According to police, an 8-yearold female was crossing the play field at Brigadoon Elementary School, 3601 SW 336th St., when an unknown male asked her if she wanted candy. The girl told him no and attempted to run away. The male grabbed the girl from behind when she stumbled. She escaped after scratching and biting the male’s hands, police said. The male was described as Hispanic, between ages 30 and 50. He was wearing a sideways “reddish/purple” baseball hat, along with a red bandana around his neck. He was also wearing a blue T-shirt, tight tan-colored pants and black shoes. The composite sketch of the suspect is based on the girl’s descriptions to police. The second incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. Oct. 6. According to police, a 7-year-old boy reported that a similar male suspect attempted to grab him near the same location as the previous incident. The boy reported that the male fled the area on foot. A K-9 unit search turned up negative. Federal Way detectives are investigating the incidents to see if they are related, according to police. Police are reviewing video surveillance to assist in the investigation, and are working with school security and Brigadoon Elementary staff.

Detectives were notified Saturday, interviewed the first victim’s mother on Sunday, then began working on the sketch of the suspect. The sketch was released to the media on Monday afternoon. “Public safety is always the number one priority,” Schrock told The Mirror in an email. “There is a critical balance between immediately distributing information, and taking the necessary time to evaluate facts to prevent unnecessary panic.” Anyone with information can contact Detective Michael Coffey at (253) 835-6777 or michael.coffey@cityoffederalway.com.

City council pos. 2: Mark Koppang Both candidates in this race promise to focus on job creation and economic development. Both are intelligent public servants with a history of community involvement. Mark Koppang gets the edge because he presents a more realistic approach for addressing the city’s immediate short-term needs. Kelly Maloney has good ideas such as a “college initiative,” but right now, the proposal to build a college is a tall order that may take years to materialize. Koppang wants to make the most of what the city has today and leverage those amenities to attract more businesses. The city needs a pragmatic approach at this time, and Koppang comes across as more of a consensus builder. That said, the public can’t go wrong with either candidate.
City council pos. 4: Jeanne Burbidge Jeanne Burbidge’s experience and history of service are hard to beat. As a highly visible public figure, Burbidge consistently represents Federal Way on the local and regional stages. Her opponent, John Fairbanks, has good intentions, and makes the argument that Burbidge has served too long (16 years). However, there’s a reason why voters continue to re-elect Burbidge. She builds relationships and is engaged in all facets of Federal Way — from business to arts to policies to transportation. Burbidge is the quintessential Federal Way advocate, and as long as she’s willing to serve, voters will benefit by electing her.
City council pos. 6: Diana Noble-Gulliford Diana Noble-Gulliford brings insight, maturity and specific solutions to the table. One clincher for this endorsement is her advocacy for a full-time economic development director. A business and real estate background allow Noble-Gulliford to approach decisions with more foresight. She knows where the city came from, and she knows where it’s going. Her opponent, Martin Moore, has a contagious passion for public service. Federal Way needs more young leaders like Moore to step up, and Moore should definitely run for office again. However, voters are best served by NobleGulliford’s experience and attention to detail.
City sparks Nixon-era question “What did the president know and when did he know it?” That Nixonian query has been the bane of politicians for over 40 years. It serves as a stark reminder to politicians who might forget: the cover up is always worse than the act, and stonewalling only invites more questions. Did it happen in Federal Way? You be the judge. A few months ago, the community and city council were embarrassed in the regional media when it was discovered, by The Mirror, that the city council had appointed a local chiropractor to an advisory board. Just a few months earlier, the chiropractor had been arrested on a felony sex charge and was scheduled for trial. The arrest was front page news as the chiropractor was very visible and well known in the community. He treated Olympiccaliber athletes, and frequently ran large color ads in the newspaper. The council quickly called an emergency meeting and rescinded the appointment on the grounds that the chiropractor had not been fully forthcoming in his application. Since his trial had not been held, he would be assumed innocent until proven guilty. But that legal nicety could have gotten lost in the media coverage, so the council was careful in how it took back its appointment. The council both appoints and confirms candidates to boards and commissions. However, the application process is handled by the mayor’s staff. Some council members were
inclined to blame them. However, they backed off and took responsibility. The public and the media asked the question: how could seven members of the city council not recognize the name, and since some council members knew the chiropractor very well, how could they not connect the dots regarding his arrest? It was a significant embarrassment to the city council, and that might have been the end of it. But some in the community kept asking a different question. How could the three most knowledgeable, powerful and well connected public safety officials in city government — the mayor, police chief and city attorney — not recognize the name and move to intervene and keep the council from embarrassing themselves and the city? I was at the council meeting where the appointment was made. I sat in stunned amazement and disbelief when the Mirror publisher and a reporter, who were also in attendance, confirmed the name. I immediately looked at the police chief and city attorney to see if they were going to interject. I expected a request for a recess from one of them so they could alert the council. No one moved. And there was no comment from the mayor, who was chairing the meeting. Were seven city council members, the mayor, police chief and city attorney all fully aware of what was occurring — and approved it? If so, it was going to be a major problem for [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ]

In the hotly contested mayoral race, The Mirror endorses Jim Ferrell, the city’s current deputy mayor. Ferrell will bring a much-needed sense of urgency to the office, along with a willingness to acknowledge the city’s problems and recommend solutions. Ferrell vows to strengthen public safety and police presence, both of which contribute to residents’ overall well-being and quality of life. Ferrell’s vision for developing the former downtown AMC site, with a park and retail complex, presents a more realistic short-term solution that will strengthen the city’s economy — and reduce long-standing blight in the downtown core. Ferrell is willing to hire a staff member to run the day-to-day operations of the city, with the intention of freeing up the mayor to recruit new businesses and pursue long-term goals for Federal Way. Ferrell’s tenacity helped create the office of mayor in 2009, and in 2013, that tenacity is what the office needs. The incumbent, Skip Priest, deserves praise for his years of community involvement and the guidance he gave the city during the economic downturn. However, Priest lacks the urgency to move the city forward. Priest tends to paint a picture of a rosy Federal Way while glossing over what needs to be fixed. At this time in the city’s history, voters should go with a candidate who’s keeping his eye on the ball and is ready to lead Federal Way forward. That candidate is Jim Ferrell.

Educational disease in the school district The Federal Way School Board and its superintendent, who was recently given a hefty pay raise without much public discourse, seem to have forgotten some simple everyday medical advice: when your patient is deathly ill, you “bring in” the specialists. You don’t take the suffering
patient’s chart of symptomatology as you travel from hospital to hospital or clinic to clinic — or in this case, country to country — to find the treatment. The school board must perform thorough research and locate the specialists who possess a successful track history and are known to provide a workable academic cure, then bring the specialists to our schools where they will properly diagnose and imple-
ment a recovery strategy. The state of education in Federal Way is on the decline. Some say it’s on life support. And our team of supposed local clinicians (school board members) are country hopping and not with their patient. And the leader (superintendent) of this so-called board of education is someone who doesn’t even live in the school district. That ought to have been a [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]
www.federalwaymirror.com [ LETTERS from page 4] a clue and a concern to all of the Federal Way parents with children in Federal Way Public Schools. I would ask that a log be provided of who the board visited, a report of what they discussed and learned, a financial disclosure of all money spent and reimbursed, and all expenses of the board’s global-hopping adventure. A more serious concern is that before departing on their glorious travel to points around the world, there was a disclosure of making our children ready for a global future and ensuring that all students upon graduation have a firm grasp of a second language. Surely this was a humorous gesture. This is a request being made in a school district that has over 112 different languages being spoken. The focus should remain on teaching all of those children with English as a second language better English skills as they live in a country where English is the national language and considered as the essential and international global form of communication.

Politics over police work In the “great sign flap,” I would encourage people to read the TNT’s professionally written version of the story. It was objective and non-biased reporting. The Mirror’s sensationalized reporting starts in the headline, which stresses the word “again” in referring to the investigation. Then in the first sentence, The Mirror refers to “possible criminal theft” when the mayor was seen and identified by the police officer as the person removing signs from the “sign jail.” Since the police officer identified the
[ ROEGNER from page 4] everyone involved when the public found out. How could the three administrators just sit there? As expected, the public wasn’t happy, and the city looked bad in the local and regional media. The questions were mainly directed at the council. A Seattle television station tried to interview Mayor Skip Priest, but was referred to Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell, who took the lion’s share of the criticism on behalf of the council. But other questions were just below the surface. Were the mayor, police chief and city attorney aware of the circumstances and possible implications, and decided to leave it alone and stay out of the council’s business? Or were they simply asleep and missed it? As unlikely as it seems, is it possible they didn’t recognize the name? They had the council agenda for several days prior to the meeting, as it was available to them in the council packet, and their schedules show briefings on the council agenda along with meetings with each other for the days leading up to the council meeting. It was city staff who pro-
person taking the signs as the mayor, why on earth didn’t he walk up to the mayor and ask what the heck he was doing? Mayor Priest would have said that he had signs in the “sign jail” and that he had written and turned in his check to the city to get the signs back. End of story. No need for calling the Washington State Patrol and starting a colossal waste of time. How did this very logical step get missed? The officer knows it’s the mayor, yet calls a supervisor because it “appeared to be a theft.” Think of it this way. I look out my window at night and see a family member backing their car out of the driveway. Do I call the police immediately to report that a family member may be stealing their own car? Or do I go outside and ask my family member what the heck they are doing? They tell me they are going to the store for some cold pills. End of drama. Wait…the police are endorsing the mayor’s opponent in the mayor’s race. Can this also be how a non-story got “leaked” to The Mirror? The Mirror story goes on to report the facts of the issue, and indeed there is an explanation for the whole episode. No need to sensationalize all the brouhaha about “possible criminal theft” in the lead sentence. But if the point is to inflict damage on the mayor’s campaign, it makes sense. Once the goofiness gets started, Chief Wilson is almost required to include the state patrol. Can’t fault him for that. The mayor is right: “This is the silly political season.” This whole thing is nasty politics, pure and simple. The “investigation” more than likely will determine that it is much ado about nothing. Just like the last investigation concluded that there were political overtones to that investigation. Federal Way deserves better.

cessed the paperwork, and they report to the attorney and the mayor. Most everyone in town knew the chiropractor’s name and the arrest circumstances. But, some suggested a more sinister reason for silence. Did they let it happen because Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell, who is also running for mayor, would be the one who would have to face the media and take the political heat? I emailed the police chief and asked, in my usual overly wordy fashion: What did he know and when did he know it? When did he realize that the candidate for appointment and the arrested chiropractor were the same person? I mistyped the name, which the chief pointed out, and so I corrected it and sent a follow up. No answer. Over the next few weeks, I sent two more emails with name spelled correctly. I also sent the question in two emails to the mayor and three emails to the city attorney. No answer from either. I was surprised. Why would they keep silent? It was a very simple question. I emailed the communications manager to seek his assistance. He fussed about me not going through him in the first place. I had pur-
posely gone directly to the “big three,” as I wanted the comment to come directly from them and didn’t want any political spin on the answer. When I started this little query about who knew what, I thought it a waste of time. I felt the people who were raising the question were just conspiracy thinkers, or maybe they had an issue with the three administrators. Or maybe they were Ferrell supporters. Frankly, I thought I’d send an email to the mayor, police chief and city attorney, and they would give me an answer and that would be the end of it. In all likelihood, they just missed the chiropractor on the agenda and are too embarrassed to admit it. But after a few more weeks of no answers, I began to wonder what the truth was. Why won’t they answer some simple questions? If they did just miss the connection, stonewalling only makes it look worse. Or is there something more to the story?

Q&A with Mr. Federal Way: Attempted abductions Q: Why wasn’t the media alerted earlier about two separate abduction attempts of little kids last weekend at Brigadoon Elementary School? I would have kept a closer eye on my children had I known. A: This one has Mr. Federal Way dumbfounded. As you all know, Mr. Federal Way has children and Mr. Federal Way is having a real hard time coming up with a good reason why the Federal Way Police Department waited so long to notify every news outlet in the country regarding the incidents on Saturday and Sunday. That notification wasn’t sent to the media until around 3 p.m. Monday, almost two days after the first abduction attempt by an unknown male suspect. This has Mr. Federal Way baffled. According to the police department, the reason for the late notice is because “the process of obtaining facts is slower than with more mature victims/witnesses. This is especially true in this case. There is a critical balance between immediately distributing information and taking the necessary time to evaluate facts to prevent unnecessary panic.” Mr. Federal Way can’t speak for everyone, but Mr. Federal Way would have been fine with creating “unnecessary panic” in a case like this. Had Mr. Federal Way known about these two separate abduction attempts of an 8-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, Mr. Federal Way would have kept a closer eye on the kids — and an even closer eye out for this scumbag of a human being. In cases like this, there is no better way for police to catch these weirdos than to get information, however limited, out to the general public as soon as possible. Just look at the effectiveness of those nationwide Amber Alerts. The department said the initial report “was taken late Saturday afternoon, detectives were notified, who contacted the mother and arranged for a Sunday afternoon forensic interview. The sketch was worked on later into Sunday and made available for release early (Monday) afternoon.” Q: Each time when there is an election in Federal Way, a group called the Municipal League of King County gets into the act by rating candidates. Who are they? How many are in the group? What are their qualifications? How does one join? A: The Municipal League of King County gets a lot of publicity around election time with the group’s name adorning political fliers and signs (even the ones held captive in city’s “sign jail”) all over Federal Way. The group’s rating system also carries a lot of weight with the candidates and voters. But, like you, Mr. Federal Way doesn’t
know much about what it actually means to receive a rating from the Municipal League. Here’s what Mr. Federal Way found out. The Municipal League of King County is a member-driven, non-partisan, non-profit organization that works toward better government. The actual ratings, which range from “not qualified” to “outstanding,” are done by the Municipal League Candidate Evaluation Committees, which are made up of volunteers “interested in maintaining good government and willing to get involved.” To be eligible for the Municipal League, a person must be a registered voter in King County and must be able to “examine candidates fairly and without prejudice.” You also have to refrain from actively supporting, endorsing, making monetary contributions or attending campaign events for any candidates. Raters are also screened based on their willingness and ability to be unbiased in their evaluation assessments. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, contact the Municipal League at (206) 622-8333 or email cec@munileagueratings.org. Q: Safeway speaks of loyalty, however they do not promote loyalty, they promote disloyalty. One example is their gas rewards. You buy 100 bucks worth of product from them, you get 10 cents a gallon off a future gas purchase. Well Mr. Federal Way, a year ago Safeway discontinued their 3-cents-a-gallon discount for Club Card holders. They said that they had no guarantee that they were having loyal customers purchase gas. Mr. Federal Way, yesterday I went to Safeway and made a $25 purchase, which would have put me well over the 100 bucks needed for a 10-cent discount, and the 80-points-plus I had built up were gone. Is that building customer loyalty? I don’t think so. I feel less loyal to them. If you want to build loyal customers, don’t take away their hardearned points. After all, their groceries are over-priced to cover the program. Mr. Federal Way, if this happened to you and Mrs. Federal Way, would you feel like you were treated like a loyal customer? Maybe you can tell Safeway that this Federal Way Mirror reader doesn’t. It is time for them to revisit the meaning of loyalty. A: The answer to your super-duper long question is simple. We live in America. If you are unhappy, find another station to buy your gas. There’s plenty of them out there. You’re welcome. Sincerely, Mr. Federal Way

School board will discuss Europe trip at rescheduled meeting
By ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com
The Federal Way School Board has rescheduled its public meetings in October because of the board’s controversial trip to Europe. The next public board meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Educational Service Center (ESC), 33330 8th Ave. S. The board, which usually meets across the street at City Hall, will also meet at 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the ESC. On Oct. 15, Superintendent Rob Neu and three board members — Ed Barney, Claire Wilson and Angela Griffin — will discuss their recent trip to Europe, which was part of the district’s Global Learn-
ing Initiative. Starting with an initial flight to Amsterdam, the school district officials traveled to nearly 20 schools in Finland, Scotland and England. The 19-day trip cost taxpayers about $60,000, according to the district. Several community members have criticized the trip as a junket, with some saying the money should have funded more urgent matters such as classroom expenses and staffing. Neu has vigorously defended the Europe trip, along with previous overseas trips in 2013, as necessary for gaining insight from foreign schools and students. He said the trips could lead to sponsorships and revenue sources that
fund the initiative. “I know this appears to be a lot of money,” Neu told The Mirror. “But it really is a small investment in moving our district forward to prepare our students to be successful in an everincreasing competitive and global economy.” During these travels, Neu has observed how Asian countries are trying to move away from the negative impact of standardized testing, and how European countries eschew standardized tests in favor of a holistic approach to education. “Finland looked like the schools that I grew up in,” said Neu, noting how students study art, home economics and more in what he called a broad and
holistic curriculum. “The American system has been designed from the beginning to select and sort and develop winners and losers. … We have a tremendous challenge ahead of us.” Neu recently wrote in an essay that the Global Learning Initiative “will ensure our students are prepared for a more competitive, diverse and interconnected world than the one we grew up in.” According to the district, goals for the Global Learning Initiative include: • Learning from international educators. • Developing international partnerships through sister schools and exchange programs. This includes hosting more international students in Federal Way. • Expanding foreign language studies in elementary schools to include Chinese, Korean and others. Sunnycrest Elementary has a dual-language program in
which students study in Spanish and English. To prepare for the initiative, Neu and school board members have embarked on “study missions” to learn from other educators and build relationships abroad. From April 1 through May 1, Neu and school board president Tony Moore traveled to China at a cost of $33,350. As a result, a delegation from Beijing’s Northeast Yucai Experimental School toured two Federal Way schools in August. Neu and Moore had visited the Beijing school during their trip. Neu also traveled to Indonesia from June 20 to July 3. The total cost was $4,082.97. Neu paid about $1,400 for hotel costs during that trip, according to the district. Neu took a short trip to South Korea from July 6 to July 12. The majority of the costs were paid by the South Korean
government. The district contributed $679.12. All costs for these trips came from the district’s general fund. No more overseas trips are planned for this school year, according to the district. The district’s overall budget is about $213.3 million. The combined cost of these trips reflect about 0.04 percent of the total budget.
FYI: Tony Moore
School board president Tony Moore was scheduled to attend the trip to Europe. However, deputies arrested Moore on Sept. 17 at SeaTac Airport as he was about to board the plane. Moore, a small business owner, faces felony theft charges related to an alleged stolen tire scheme in Oregon. Moore said he is innocent and will remain on the school board. Moore will go to trial in Oregon. His next court appearance is Nov. 25.
...obituaries •Ted B. Haskell Jr.• Ted B. Haskell Jr. 7/16/1933 - 10/3/2013 born in Tacoma to Evangaline Pederson and Theodore B. Haskell Sr. Beginning his journey in Tacoma, in the third grade his family moved to Midland to live on a five and a half acre farm, raising his own horses, chickens, geese, rabbits, pigs and cows. In 1947, Ted and his family moved to Spokane, where he learned what the ethics of working were all about. Graduating in 1955 from North Central High School, he jumped right into the working world. His biggest accomplishment was working at The Eureka Company, where he oversaw a five state area and three million dollars in annual sales. He devoted 27 years of his life to The Eureka Company, and enjoyed every moment of it. Ted had a little brother Rodney J. Haskell, who he took under his wing after their parents’ passing, to care for him, and show him the ropes about life. A short time later he ran into a woman named Shirley J. Anderson, little did he know that this woman was the love of his life, and the woman of his dreams. In 1958, they said their vows and the same year had a bundle of joy on the way. On October 14, 1958 their first and only child Ted B. Haskell III was born. Ted’s passion for boats and cars, especially his Austin Healey and his Corvette, were something him and his son Ted III could share. Ted and his son were closer than close, they were best friends, almost brothers in a sense. His son Ted III looked up to his father as a hero, someone he wanted to grow up to be just like, and many would say he did, even calling him his “mini me.” Ted, Shirley and Ted III moved to Twin Lakes in 1966 to have a fresh start. Then in 1994 Ted’s world was going to change even more. On April 14, 1994 his only grandchild was born, Miranda M. Haskell, his little nickname for her was Andie. Anyone who knew Ted knew he was a rock, a tiger per sé, on the outside, but had such a kind, and gentle heart. Once his granddaughter was born, she just melted his heart right from the start. Always excited to see her and spend as much time together as possible. He always pushed Miranda to be the best person she could be, and no matter what he’d always be proud of her. Unfortunately 2001 brought heart ache onto many, when Shirley lost her battle against lung cancer. Ted was unsure if he’d ever find someone to love like he did Shirley, which a couple years later he did. He met Carleen Ulland, they shared an undying bond and strong love for one another. Ted lost his battle against lung cancer on October 3, 2013, he fought extremely hard and showed us a new meaning of what it meant to be strong. He was a loving husband, dad and grandfather, and the love he brought to our lives will burn in our hearts forever. As Ted would say “this is just another trip.” To those who wish to give their condolences a funeral will be held on October 19th at Price Helton Funeral Home in Auburn at 1:00pm.

City finance director leaves for Lakewood By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com
Tho Kraus, the City of Federal Way’s finance director, is leaving the city to become an assistant city manager with the City of Lakewood. In Lakewood, Kraus will be in charge of the city’s finance and accounting functions, information systems and human resources, according to Lakewood’s city manager, John Caulfield. Kraus began her new job on Oct. 7. Kraus will still lend an advisory hand as Federal Way continues to work on budget adjustments. City spokesperson Chris Carrel said the search is already under way to replace Kraus and her financial expertise. “The city is contracting with a professional recruiter for an interim director as well as the permanent replacement process,” Carrel wrote in an email to
The Mirror. “We anticipate evaluating candidates for the interim position shortly. The permanent position will be announced soon, and will likely remain open until mid-January. That would likely put us at midFebruary or thereabouts for a final hiring decision.” Kraus’ replacement will require confirmation by the city council. Kraus is credited for helping the city navigate the difficult economic waters of recent years. The city saw a drastic drop in tax revenues that required the shedding of a number of positions and reorganizations within the city. Kraus and her staff ’s work led to yearly recognition by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada, with the city receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting throughout nearly all of Kraus’ tenure in Federal Way. Kraus has been involved in municipal/public finance for 21 years — 19 of those with Federal Way.

City ponders policy for private development on public land By Greg Allmain gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
As Federal Way considers building a Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) and a possible mixed residential/commercial project in the downtown core, concerns have been raised about private development on public property. The Parks and Recreation, Human Services and Public Safety Committee heard a brief report Oct. 8 on the city’s
home, auto, property, restaurant, investment professionals
need to develop a written policy for private development on city-owned land. Both of the aforementioned projects have private developers heavily involved, which seems to be spurring the city’s desire to establish the policy. City attorney Pat Richardson had written a memo that touched on some of the concerns regarding private development on city property. Those concerns ranged from federal regulations, city zoning requirements, the type of groups the city would be entering into an agreement with, and the possibility of a project having to be abandoned by the private developer. Assistant city attorney Amy Jo
Pearsall said one viable option is to establish a policy with standards and use those standards to review projects as they come. “It really depends on the project,” Pearsall said. “It’s hard to know what all the issues are, until we have (a project) in front of you.” Pearsall noted that even if the city’s involvement is strictly limited to simply being the property owner, that still creates a raft of potential complications for the city. “If anything happens, we’re an obvious target as far as a lawsuit or a claim,” she said.

away from the existing crosswalk. “(The idea is) it’s not safe to cross there, and I think the notion is that having another crosswalk farther south may aid safety,” Perez said. “I’m not sure I agree with that.” Councilmember and committee member Kelly Maloney asked Perez to elaborate on why he thinks an additional crosswalk may not increase safety. “The assumption is that crosswalks always make things safer, and that depends on a variety of things,” Perez replied. “First off, that it actually channels people to that crosswalk, and I don’t know that the behavior that exists right now is going to change, just because you put a crosswalk someplace else. Secondly, there has to be enough (usage) that the drivers respect it. If it doesn’t get used, then it doesn’t help anybody.” As far as the streetlight issue at Illahee is concerned, Perez said the city would need to work with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to get the light installed. An early cost estimate puts that project somewhere in the range of $6,000. There are funds available for that, Perez noted. Roe said that city staff was already leaning toward the installation of the light. “We were heading in that direction with the light request itself,” Roe said. The issue of street lighting may need to be addressed more comprehensively, Perez said, referring to the fact that the city has an already existing School Zone Safety Enhancement Program — although that program only focused on signage and flashing lights for school zones. “We didn’t really address lighting in any of these. And so that’s something that’s new territory,” he said. “There’s about five
Illahee Middle School is located at 36001 1st Ave. S. in Federal Way, near S. 356th St. COURTESY PHOTO schools where we didn’t have any street lighting within the vicinity of the school.” Roe again reiterated the city’s agreement that a streetlight should be installed at the Illahee school zone. The area around Illahee is dark during the early morning hours in the winter months. “There’s no streetlights on 1st Avenue, basically, through this segment. We think the light makes a lot of sense,” he said. “I think (installing) the light at the existing crosswalk makes a lot of sense, and I’m prepared to make that decision. It’s within my authority and I have the budget for it. I think it’s a safety-related issue, and should make that happen.” According to Perez and Roe, the installation time on a new streetlight through PSE can be anywhere between two and six months. Roe said he’d be willing to “go up the food chain a little bit and press the safety perspective,” to try and make it happen quicker. There was no direct action taken at the Oct. 8 committee meeting, although Perez was scheduled to meet with Federal Way Public Schools representatives on Oct. 9 to discuss the issue.

The Washington Newspaper Publishers Association (WNPA) held its 126th annual conference Oct. 3-5 in Olympia. Sound Publishing newspapers won a total of 218 awards in the 2013 Better Newspaper Contest. The contest, which was judged by members of the Tennessee Press Association, recognized excellence in advertising and editorial efforts between April 2012 and March 2013 in four circulation categories. The Mirror earned 12 awards, including the following: • General Excellence, second place (Group IV, largest circulation category). Judge’s comments: Respect the mix of news and features, especially heading into the Christmas news dead zone; police blotter well done; photos were a surprise — loved the washing machine cases wreck pic; opinion pages are timely, well written. • Best Education Story, first place, “Students study nuclear reactor in man’s garage,” by Greg Allmain. • Best Online Photo Gallery or Slideshow, first place
(all circulation groups), “May Day protest turns violent,” by Greg Allmain. • Best sports feature, third place, “Mat Classic: Federal Way’s wrestling couple,” by Casey Olson. • Best topical column, third place (all circulation groups), “Sidelines,” by Casey Olson. • Best editorial pages, third place (all circ. groups) • Best editorial, third place, “Public deserves open discussion on council seats.” Judge’s comment: The Federal Way Mirror did an excellent job of getting ahead of a potential “government sunshine” issue by astutely pointing out the foolishness of having a secret meeting to discuss candidates for two vacant city council seats. The paper could have waited and “viewed with alarm” the use of executive session to transact public business, but the Mirror did not. • News writer of the year, finalist (all circulation groups), Andy Hobbs. • Best Special Section Cover, first place, “Explore Federal Way,” by Marcie Shannon, Marcie Shannon, Rudi Alcott, Cindy Ducich, Mary Lou Goss. Judge’s comment: Great photo — uncluttered invitation to visit this community. • Best Promotion of Newspaper — Single House
Ad, second place, “Waiting on Christmas,” by Rudi Alcott, Marcie Shannon, Cindy Ducich, Karen Henry. • Best Multiple Advertiser Ad (one to two full pages), third place, “Father’s Day,” by Rudi Alcott, Mary Lou Goss, Cindy Ducich, Marcie Shannon. • Best Use of Clip Art in Ad, third place, “Federal Way Farmers Market Chili Cook-Off,” by Marcie Shannon, Cindy Ducich. 884544

Priest said the PACC sense of urgency and is “running in place,” and that the city is missing opportunities for economic development due to a reactive approach. Here are highlights from questions that showed differences in the candidates. Would you send the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC) to the voters? Ferrell said that at nearly $32 million, an investment this large deserves a public vote. He also expressed reservations with the cost and the potential loan against Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. Ferrell likened the project to a risk that “puts all the chips at the center of the table” and leaves the city “on the hook for millions.” If the city does move forward with the project, “we better do it right.” Priest did not answer yes or no, but said there’s no project to vote on. The project is in the design phases, and the city has taken a pragmatic “step-by-step approach.” He noted that the city would owe the state $5 million if the project doesn’t move forward. Through continued public involvement, the city can craft a “thoughtful plan,” and Priest said he is committed to a “thoughtful vote.” Later in the forum, an audience member asked if there were any viable alternatives to the PACC. Ferrell said a better project would be a development similar to Kent Station, featuring restaurants and retail, at the former AMC Theatres

a $24 million plan to get Federal Way “shovel ready” for light rail. Ferrell said Priest falsely took credit, and that it was King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer and State Sen. Tracey Eide who made the “shovel ready” plan a reality. According to a city spokesman, Priest and city council members were unaware of the shovel ready plan until it was announced at a press conference in February 2012. Priest also pushed for failed legislation that attempted to dismantle Sound Transit. Ferrell said this showed Priest was not a good partner on this issue. • Would you hire a city administrator to run the day-to-day operations? Ferrell said he is growing concerned that the city needs the mayor to recruit capital and jobs. The city should make sure the dayto-day operations don’t bog down the chief executive, he said, adding that hiring a city administrator was “highly possible.” Priest said the mayor of the city is elected to manage operations, and that’s what he is doing. He also touted past experience in the corporate world (real estate and finance) and also as a former business owner (dry cleaning and garment manufacturing companies).

Question for position 2: Kelly Maloney and Mark Koppang both say that job creation and economic development are their priorities. Why is your plan better than your opponent’s plan, and better for the community? Koppang said that he would look for more immediate solutions to recruit businesses on the regional and national level. He said Maloney’s “college initiative” wasn’t a short-term answer to Federal Way’s economic issues. Federal Way has the inventory (office space, undeveloped land) to present a solution to companies today. Maloney said bringing a college campus to the downtown core is a longterm solution. She said the city should continue recruiting businesses as Koppang suggests, but that there needs to be a longterm plan. A college, she said, will attract businesses while helping the businesses that are already here. Question for position 4: One strength of Jeanne Burbidge is her experience as a public servant in the city and region, while one strength of John Fairbanks is his experience of owning and running a small business. Why is your particular strength more beneficial to the council and the community? Burbidge said she owned a small business for 12 years, which complements her experiences at the city and regional levels. She has served on a variety of boards at these levels, from PTA to transportation to [ more CANDIDATES page 17 ]

www.federalwaymirror.com economic development, all of which are pertinent to the daily operations of the city. Fairbanks said he doesn’t see the city council as a career, and said his business experience includes dealing with multiple government agencies alongside a wide variety of customers. Through this business experience, he learned a lot about sign codes. Fairbanks also has experience serving on boards such as the Civil Service Commission. Question for position 6: Diana Noble-Gulliford says she brings experience to the table, while Martin Moore says he brings a fresh voice. Why are your strengths better than your opponent’s, and better for the community? Moore said that by working in Olympia as a legislative assistant, he discovered that it’s critical to have relationships there. He will ensure Federal Way is represented properly, and said there’s a disconnect between the council and citizens. He said the council needs someone new who will represent the future and bring voters’ voices to City Hall. Noble-Gulliford said she is “fresh and new enough” to know the concerns of citizens, and not to label her as an old-timer. She said her experience with the city’s history, budget and
perspective. She said “if you don’t know where you’ve been, you don’t know where you’re going.” Did the candidates review the PACC budget pro forma (a detailed Maloney analysis of a project and its anticipated costs from construction to maintenance and operations), Burbidge and do they think it’s fair and accurate? • Maloney: She said the numbers are not accurate. She feels Noble-Gulliford the initial proposal lacks perspective on financial solvency for the project. She said that comparisons to similar projects in other cities include mismatched data related to demographics and socioeconomics. • Koppang: He said a pro forma represents a best guess, and said “you’ve got to start somewhere.” He said there are obstacles to any project, but that the city must see the end goal and make it happen. • Noble-Gulliford: She said there is more work to be done to fine-tune the cost of the PACC, along with questions such as “can
PINK THE RINK
we afford it in the long run?” She said the proposal to have a non-profit organization run the facility is worrisome, especially if the city wants to “create that spark” downtown. • Moore: Koppang He has read the pro forma and supports the PACC as an opportunity to generate excitement downtown. Fairbanks He said the project is an investment in the city’s future. “Something has got to change,” he said, adding Moore that he will listen to the professionals who did the pro forma. • Fairbanks: He said the pro forma was put together by the seller/developer, and noted the comparison to the Edmonds arts center, which still requires a subsidy. He feels the pro forma is not accurate. • Burbidge: She has trust in the pro forma, which was put together by the Edmonds facility manager who has a lot of experience with similar facilities. She noted the demographics of Federal Way, in regards to households with incomes over $100,000, for example,
are comparable to the demographics of the other cities with arts centers. How can Federal Way change its perception? • Burbidge: She would promote the natural beauty of Federal Way, she said, noting the waterfront, parks, lakes and West Hylebos Wetlands. “We need to share this with the public to a greater degree,” she said, and that there needs to be more of a “cheerleading process for our city.” • Fairbanks: He would build a sense of community by focusing on block watches, for example. Block watches would result in criminals moving away. • Moore: He would be proactive and encourages the city to elect someone new who would get the positive messages out to schools and newspapers, and also create partnerships. • Noble-Gulliford: “We are all ambassadors,” she said, noting that the city needs to promote its beauty and positive elements. She relayed a story in which she corrected a car salesman who referred to the city as “Dreadful Way.” • Koppang: He would promote more pride in the city and its amenities. He supports developing consensus around ideas “when doing big things,” and that things will get done with more consensus and twoway communication.
• Maloney: She said the city needs to focus on branding and taking control of its image. There’s a process under way at City Hall, and she wants to see a survey of residents to deter-
mine the branding message that the city will promote. ELECTION LETTERS Due to limited print space, all letters supporting local political candidates can be found online.

Chico is the man for Eagles Football: Federal
Federal Way junior playmaker, who already has seven scholarship offers, will be one of the nation’s top recruits
Junior Chico McClatcher 1,357 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns for the Eagles this season in just five games.
By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Labels are for soup cans, not for football players like Chico McClatcher. The dynamic Federal Way High School junior doesn’t really care what position is listed next to his name on the pre-game program. McClatcher’s sole attention on the football field is to make plays — and the 5-foot-8, 175-pounder is making plenty of them for the Eagles. “I’m just a play-maker,” McClatcher said with a wry smile. “I’m just an athlete that makes plays out there.” McClatcher isn’t just any kind of playmaker. He is the ultimate big-play playmaker. McClatcher can reach full speed on his first step, which is a rare trait for a football player. He is a threat to score a touchdown every time he touches the ball, no matter where he is on the field. “There are times where I Chico McClatcher catch myself sitting back and watching Chico and being in awe,” said longtime Federal Way head coach John Meagher. “Last week, he made one guy miss him, made another guy fall down, then leapt over him with a Donkey Kong jump, and when he landed, he spun away in another direction. I took my headset off and just said, ‘Wow.’ We are obviously blessed to have him on the team.” To illustrate McClatcher’s ability to make defenders miss, all you have to do is review his statistics for the 4-1, sixth-ranked Eagles. This year, McClatcher has 610 yards rushing, 298 yards receiving, 264 yards in kickoff returns, 133 yards in punt returns — and has also thrown a 52-yard touchdown pass. In all, McClatcher has accounted for 1,357 yards of total yardage in just five games, which averages out to an amazing 291 yards a game.
Way runs over Viks By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
He has accounted for 12 total touchdowns, with nine of them being 50 yards or more. Federal Way senior teammate Keenan Curran, a Division-I football recruit himself, gave McClatcher the ultimate compliment earlier this season when he called him the best he’s ever seen. And that’s saying something. Curran has been associated with the Federal Way High School football program since he started as a ball boy at 7 years old. In short, Curran has seen plenty of talent roll across the turf at Federal Way Memorial Stadium in the past 11 years. “He’s the best athlete I’ve ever seen,” Curran said. “He has put on some weight and he’s even more explosive than last year. I didn’t think that was possible. He’s just an amazing athlete.” McClatcher burst onto the high school scene as a raw, 150-pound freshman running back. [ more mcclatcher page 19 ]
The sixth-ranked Federal Way Eagles and junior Chico McClatcher did what they do Friday night during a 4925 win over the Puyallup Vikings at Sparks Stadium. The electric Keenan Curran Eagles tallied five touchdowns of 46 yards or more and McClatcher finished with three of them, including one rushing, one receiving and one kick return. McClatcher ended up with 303 all-purpose yards on only seven touches to lead Federal Way to a 4-1 record in the South Puget Sound League South Division. Puyallup (3-2) took a 7-0 lead on a 31-yard pass from Brendan Illies to D.J. Winter. But McClatcher took a screen pass from Keenan Curran 63 yards for his first score and then Ryan Gnoinsky caught a 74-yarder from Curran to give Federal Way a 14-7 lead. After the Vikings tied the score at 14 midway through the second quarter, McClatcher took the ensuing kickoff [ more football page 19 ]

Blue Wave Aquatics wins club of the year By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way-based Blue Wave Aquatics Masters Swim Team was recently named the Local Club of the Year by United States Masters Swimming (USMS). “Great clubs provide strength to United States Masters Swimming,” according to a USMS press release. “The Club of the Year Award seeks to recognize clubs that exemplify the core objectives of USMS — to serve, educate, and build the membership. A Local Club is comprised of swimmers who represent their club at all levels of competition. The Club of the Year Award honors a club for more than a single year’s accomplishments.” Blue Wave Aquatic’s history dates back to 1984 when 15 swimmers banded together to form Federal Way Masters. Membership bumped up in 1990 with the opening of the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center. By 2010, the team had grown to 150 members with practice venues in five cities. The expansion meant that Federal Way Masters no longer seemed
a good fit, so the name was changed to Blue Wave Aquatics. Today, the club’s membership has swelled to 290 swimmers, ranging in age from 18 to 65-plus. The club offers free swimming lessons to adults during the year and its members volunteer at local triathlons and other swim events. It welcomes swimmers of all abilities, from world-class to fitness enthusiasts to novices. Wendy Neely is the head coach of the swim team and Mike Murphy is the club’s president. Other coaches include Rachel Turley, Ann Bettencourt, Hailey MacConaghy, Sharon Wright, Jenn Mesler, Kate Allen and Malcolm Neely. Swimming venues include KCAC, Federal Way Community Center, Evergreen Community Aquatic Center, Fife Swim Center, Covington Aquatic Center and Sumner/Bonney Lake Aquatics Pool. U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) is a national organization that provides organized workouts, competitions, clinics and workshops for adults aged 18 and over.
