Man accused of threatening Obama heading to trial BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
A
Federal Way man charged with threatening President Barack Obama has been
ordered competent to stand trial after two years of competency tests and involuntary medication. Anton Caluori, now 33, was arrested for threatening to kill the president in
an email sent to the FBI in August 2012. His jury trial is scheduled for Oct. 20. Caluori was at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield,
Missouri undergoing forced medication but was deemed competent to stand trial on July 11 at a competency hearing, when he also pleaded not guilty to the threat against the president

Council issues moratorium on city center BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com
The Federal Way City Council recently enacted a six-month moratorium aimed at halting any proposed expansions or creation of a “retail establishment providing entertainment, recreational, cultural services or activities” within the city center. At the June 3 Council meeting, assistant city attorney Amy Jo Pearsall explained what the moratorium means for the city. “A moratorium is an emergency measure designed to preserve the status quo,” she said. “It would suspend the right of applicants to submit applications and obtain approval as well, while the City Council considers and adopts development regulations as the city responds to new or changing circumstances, like we have in our downtown core and frame at this time. It would also provide an opportunity to thoughtfully address the issue. It’s sort of like a timeout so more research can be done.” In recent months, the city approved the Performing Arts and Conference Center

They wanted to build something like a spa/sauna, with some kind of service activity and water park component. That was the initial idea, but later it was redesigned, and is now more like a spa and a wellness center.” Kim said the project he’s working on would make Federal Way “more dynamic, vibrant,” and would make
Federal Way’s downtown a “landmark cityscape.” “It will be like an urban oasis, or a meditative space. Instead of a bunch of office buildings, it’s a bit more variety, a bit more fun, and will help the city differentiate itself from others.” Kim said he and the interested parties he was representing would be “willing and happy to work with the city,” so their project could fit more closely with the city’s vision for the city center. With the June 3 approval of the moratorium, the zoning code amendments for the city center and core were transferred to the Planning Commission Work Plan, and assigned a high priority.
Police arrest suspect in connection with 5 robberies BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way police have arrested a suspect in connection with five bank robberies, including the July 18 robbery at Umpqua Bank in Federal Way. The 23-year-old male was a Federal Way resident. Pierce County Sherriff ’s detectives are looking for two other suspects who may have been accomplices. Together, the three are allegedly responsible for a series of bank robberies in Pierce and south King counties. Between July 14 and July 22, the three suspects allegedly pulled off five heists, according to Tacoma/Pierce County Crime Stoppers. The male suspects are all in their 20s with slender builds. Footage shows them wearing baseball hats and sunglasses. The suspects worked as a team to either rob multiple tellers at the same time or to act as a lookout, according to police. The suspects allegedly gave the tellers notes, demanding cash and threatening violence, saying they were armed. Once they received the money, they fled the banks. According to a Federal Way police report, at 5:25 on July 18 at the 1900 S. 320th St. Umpqua Bank, one suspect gave a teller a note saying to hand over all the $50 and $100 bills and not to include any GPS tracking devices. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash, accord[ more ARREST page 2 ]

Several witnesses were shown a montage, all identifying the same suspect, who police arrested on Monday, according to the report. Post Miranda, the suspect denied any knowledge or complicity of the robberies. Other banks robbed include: America’s Credit Union in Spanaway on July 14, Heritage Bank in South Hill on July 18, TAPCO Credit Union in Tacoma on July 21 and Umpqua Bank in Spanaway on July 22. Anyone with information on the remaining two suspects is asked to call anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tips leading to arrests and charges can earn up to $1,000 reward. The Mirror does not name suspects until they are formally charged.

which was ordered by Judge Marsha J. Pechman on Aug. 7, 2013. Because nearly all of Caluori’s court documents are sealed per his request, it is unclear what his mental illness was. But on Aug. 21, 2012, prosecutors allege Caluori sent an email with threats such as, “I will kill the president!!!!!” and “I Don’t give a [expletive]… But You Know That [sic]!!!!” He told the FBI that they had seven days to get him to Alcatraz and that they couldn’t afford to call his bluff. He also threatened a “Cop killing spree … just over the hill [sic].” Federal Way police officer Andy Hensing was the responding officer to the Secret Service request for assistance for the threat. Hensing has since earned the Federal Way Police Department’s Medal of Distinguished Service for his role in the investigation. Hensing checked Caluori’s records and corresponded with the apartment manager of where he was staying before he and the Secret Service made their move to contact him. After knocking on the door with no answer, the officers and agents got to the back door. And just as it opened, they were confronted by Caluori, who had a bandolier across his chest with shotgun shells and a pistol grip shotgun in his right hand, according to police officials in a previous report. Hensing then grabbed the shotgun and got the suspect to the ground with help from a Secret Service agent. Charging documents also state Caluori informed the officers that his apartment was full of “things that go boom.” However, a search from a bomb squad revealed no explosives. Threatening the president is punishable by up to five years in prison. Assault of a federal agent is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

ome residents say keep them for school zone safety. Others say the city couldn’t get rid of them soon enough. Traffic cameras garnered mixed results in the Mirror’s recent Federal Way Forum survey, which asked residents six questions on the topic. We received 78 responses, including five print responses and 73 online. The majority of responses — 82 percent — came from people who live in Washington, but some people in eight other states also responded, from New Jersey to Texas. We asked the community if they have ever received a ticket from Federal Way’s Traffic Safety Photo Enforcement Program and, if so, at what intersection. Sixty-five percent — or 51 people — have never received a ticket, while 35 percent, or 27 respondents, have. The biggest hot spot, according to this survey, is at the intersection of 312th Street and Pacific Highway South, where 14 people received one or more tickets. Others were ticketed mostly in schools zones, including five at Panther Lake Elementary. Of those who received tickets, many said they sped through a school zone, performed a “California stop” at a red light or made a right hand turn before coming to a complete stop in front of the white line. The survey also asked residents if the city needs photo enforcement. Participants’ answers were nearly split down the middle, with 38 saying “yes” and 36 “no.” “No, the city does not need photo enforcement,” wrote one participant. “It is a violation of constitutional rights and assumes guilt, violates privacy and harms kids.” “No, because people end up slamming their brakes on a yellow light because they fear getting a ticket.” Others disagreed, noting Federal Way needs traffic camera enforcement. “[There are] too many lead-footed idiots racing through intersections and around in school zones,” one person wrote. “They ignore any posted signs, so perhaps a fine will get their attention.” Another wrote, “Absolutely, collectively we seem to think that traffic laws are suggestions. We will never get traffic under control until we put the ‘old west, sheriff must run down and apprehend the bad guy’ mentality behind us. We could never afford enough [ more TRAFFIC, page 9 ] Carrie Rodriguez
Women, protect your rights and vote for Shari Song In the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision by the five inquisitors on the U.S. Supreme Court, it is very important that the women of America act on a local level to protect their rights to comprehensive health care, accurate and medically correct sex education, as well as defending marriage equality. In other words, women, vote for the 21st century values that now define your lives, not for the 16th century values that the U.S. Supreme Court wishes to impose upon you. Women who care about their rights, as I do, can vote
Money matters in heated Senate race You can tell the race for the 30th District Senate seat between Democrat Shari Song and Republican Mark Miloscia is of statewide significance as the gloves came off this week. This race is one of four that has special interest groups on both sides very concerned about the outcome. It could determine control of the state Senate and could get brutal before it’s over. The seat has been held by Democrat Tracey Eide for several years. However, the forecast is Republicans will control the Senate by one vote and Miloscia will win the Federal Way seat, moving it to the Republican column. But that could change — it’s all up to the voters and money will play a big role. Song recently returned to Federal Way after several years living in other areas. When she lived here previously, she was very active in the community. She ran for the King County Council on the Eastside last year and lost. Protecting the Senate seat and keeping it in the democratic column is so important, she was recruited by state Democratic leaders because of her ties to the area. She has relatives here and moved into their neighborhood. She has spent a considerable amount of money on ads and mailers trying to overcome Miloscia’s lead in name recognition. Much of the money has come from
out of the area, another sign of this race’s significance. Miloscia’s supporters say she is a carpetbagger and the money is more a sign of her lack of connections to the district. Even though Miloscia has served as a substitute teacher in the Federal Way school district, Song has emphasized her commitment to education and accused Miloscia of cutting funding for K-12 and colleges and universities when he previously served in the Legislature. Miloscia not only held office for 14 years, he has been active in many local organizations. As a result, Song needs a wedge issue to separate herself from Miloscia, and her newest mailer highlights her support for women’s health issues such as “choice,” in contrast to Miloscia, who she describes as “anti-choice.” She also highlights her endorsements from women’s groups. Her supporters remind voters that Miloscia switched parties and is now a Republican. In fact, Miloscia is running as a Republican after representing this area for many years in the state Legislature as a Democrat. Local political observers say that some of Miloscia’s beliefs were inconsistent with Democratic views and he never appeared comfortable in the Democrat Party, [ more ROEGNER, page 8 ] Bob Roegner

Performing arts center letter full of misinformation It is disappointing when someone writes a letter full of
misinformation and makes charges based on that. Marie Adair’s July 16 letter is full of erroneous statements in her “City should be ashamed of gimmick to fund performing arts center.” First, she obviously doesn’t understand the New Market Tax Credit funding. Congress has nothing to do with what projects are funded. They fund specialized financial institutions called Community Development Entities that provide funding to the projects. The Performing Arts and Conference Center project was not “ready” for this first set of allocations this year. Community Development Entities favor projects with
construction permits issued and for which the shovels are literally suspended inches above the ground in readiness to move forward. We weren’t quite to that point. It was not unexpected that we might not receive funds on this first go-round. There will be allocations available later this year from Community Development Entities with remaining funds, based on earlier commitments that didn’t materialize. With the demolition of the former Toys R Us building and the planned groundbreaking in September, we will be “ready” and can hope to compete for those funds. If the funds are not forthcoming in the fall, the city will
seek New Market Tax Credit funding for next year’s cycle, when we will be well underway, more than just “ready.” These are scarce resources but they are definitely worth applying for. She is again incorrect in stating that the city shouldn’t apply for Community Development Block Grants for the performing arts center. While a maximum 15 percent of those funds may be used for human services, and up to 20 percent for administration, that leaves a healthy 65 percent earmarked for community and economic development. The performing arts center is just the kind of project that fits that description; it will enhance and improve the whole area, provide jobs during construction and

at the facility, plus benefit restaurants and other businesses in the area. The project will help Federal Way become a destination city. Use of block grants for the performing arts center would still leave more than half of the 65 percent available for other community and economic development projects. Ms. Adair predicts inevitable new taxation, yet the detailed funding plan has been studied by experts (including the Blue Ribbon Panel) who agree it will be unnecessary. Her opinions are totally negative, without any foundation. She is wrong again about the city constructing Dumas Bay Centre. It was already in existence as a Visitation Retreat Center. The city was able to purchase it with a combination of state and county grants, at a remarkably low price, because the Sisters of Visitation did not want to sell it to developers. The Dumas Bay Centre is currently doing very well financially, attracting many retreats, meetings, weddings, small conferences and nonprofit functions. It is also a beautiful waterfront park that many enjoy visiting. It contributes to the quality of life here. The Knutzen Family Theatre, remodeled from the original chapel, is managed by Centerstage, but any other organization or individual that utilizes it pays rental fees. Another misstatement, that “local arts groups who were friends of city leaders felt no need to pay rent.” All paid the fee. Centerstage is deadbeat? Obviously, Ms. Adair has not attended the fine variety of offerings there. And Dumas Bay Centre was never “pitched as sure-fire magnets for commerce and prosperity.” It was an opportunity to own an incredible piece of property and enlarge on its usage and value to the city. She focuses on the theater aspect of the performing arts center without recognizing the great potential of the conference center space. A long list of activities that can finally be held in Federal Way is already compiled, and there have been inquiries from touring companies (travel presentations, political events, hobby shows, science fairs, etc.) wondering when the facility will be available. While anyone is welcome to an opinion, it is disheartening to read those consisting of untrue suppositions. For those of us who have been involved for years, we are dedicated to offer the facts, donate our time and, yes, our money to this proj-
ect, even if Ms. Adair thinks private money is stupid. Please check out the website www.federalwayPACC. com for additional information.

Vote for Mark Miloscia, who has experience I am voting for Mark Miloscia for District 30 senator. I am a lifelong registered Democrat but am voting for Mark because he actually lives here in Federal Way and raised his family here. He has experience as a legislator and he is an honored veteran. Fiscally, he is conservative, he watches his pennies (read our money). Makes sense to me.

Thank you, Rep. Kochmar, for listening Several years ago we began a quest to receive a newlyissued prisoner of war medal for my good friend’s father, James R. Hayden. His story is an amazing one. At 19 years old, when James was fighting in World War II, he entered a tunnel and the enemy threw a hand grenade at him, destroying his rifle. James then left and retrieved a new rifle and re-entered the tunnel and killed two, injured four and captured 12 prisoners. For this gallant effort, he did receive the Silver Star Citation. (By today’s standards, we felt he should receive a Medal of Honor.) He later went on to be shot in the leg, but still managed to enter into the Korean War where he was captured and held as a prisoner of war for almost three years. His family did not know for certain whether he was dead or alive the entire time. When I found out that the Army had released a brand new medal honoring prisoners of war, I decided to apply for it in his name. We sent in all the correct information, only to receive a letter six months later stating because of a big fire that destroyed all the military records years ago, they could find no proof that James R. Hayden was indeed a prisoner of war. Our duty now was to write to obtain other types of records that would prove this fact. Our mission to obtain this medal turned into a two year project and we still came up empty-handed. I was about to give up and one day I was at one of Rep. Linda Kochmar’s Friday afternoon coffee meetings to

discuss concerns and issues. I explained the prisoner of war medal issue and also explained that in talking with James, I found out he never received his Korean War medal. When Linda heard all that we had gone through, she asked me to get her all the information. Linda and her legislative assistant Joe Atkinson began immediately working on this issue. In less than two months, they got results. Today, I received a phone call from Congressman Adam Smith’s office stating they have received the Korean War medal and are expecting the prisoner of war medal very soon. We are waiting now for the formal presentation of these medals to this true American hero. James is now 88 years old and his health is beginning to fail, so we are very excited for this to happen soon. I would like to extend sincere gratitude to Rep. Linda Kochmar for her invaluable assistance in obtaining both the Korean War and the prisoner of war medals that were well deserved. Without her invaluable assistance with this effort, one of our nation’s World War II and Korean War heroes would go unrecognized for his valor and bravery in both wars. Thank you, Linda for your hard work and determination on behalf of James R. Hayden. It is a fact that we are now losing all of our World War II veterans at an alarming rate. Knowing that, it is fantastic news to know we can present these medals before James is gone. As an extra note, Atkinson told me that he has not yet given up on obtaining a Medal of Honor for James. That dedication to this effort is admirable. Thank you for listening. It is great to know we have the right people in office.
Ken Donner, Federal Way, Belmor Park
Do you have feedback for Federal Way Public Schools? I hope the Federal Way Mirror can continue to be a vehicle for communicating issues expressed by concerned members of the community to generate thoughts from the commu-
nity at large. Only through public response can we gauge whether comments and concerns are indicative of broadly supported views. Over 15 years ago, there were seminars about treating complaints like they were made of gold. They gave new meaning to the phrase, “being behind the eight ball.” It was like a “Rule of Eights” that went like this: one person courageous enough to complain to an organization usually had eight others who remained silent. Every person who had a bad experience generally told eight more people about it. On the other hand, a person who had an excellent experience usually told only three people about it. Given how bad news travels faster, the eight people told about somebody’s negative experience told another three about what happened to that person. So from one bad experience resulting in a complaint, the bad news spread eight times greater than anything good done by the organization. The last piece was that it took eight great experiences to erase the one
bad experience. The moral to the story was to treat complaints like gold because they tell you for free what is going wrong in the organization. Why is this relevant? The community was provided a district-wide survey and it only received a 30 percent response rate, but of those responding there were 20 percent who were dissatisfied. One could say 80 percent are happy, but it could also mean that the 20 percent represented concerns that are eightfold in magnitude. If there is a silent majority of dissatisfied community members out there, we need to understand what the issues are through our lines of communication with the community. Once we identify the issues, then we can all collectively work toward solutions. It really does need collective participation to solve problems because it is often all too easy and completely unrealistic to put every problem at the door of teachers and the schools. If a child lacks adult supervision and good role models, the teacher cannot become a “shape shifter”
who transforms into a police officer or military veteran of a particular ethnicity, or with that unique and compelling story of success relevant for that child. But we can certainly find members of the Federal Way community who might be that person who can visit a classroom, community function or place of worship and show this child that by self-determination and latching on to all the ropes and ladders that our community offers them, they too can truly succeed, despite what they may believe to be an impossible situation at home. The issues in education are complex and take strong community involvement to create great results. Thank you for the opportunity to reach out to the community at large. It would be a wonderful time in Pollyanna if Federal Way Public Schools was perfection in itself, but that is highly unlikely, so I hope the Federal Way community starts to send great nuggets of gold our way.

RESIDENTS MAKE IT OUT OF HOUSE FIRE; DOG DIES
BY ALISA GRAMANN
agramann@fedwaymirror.com
Three Federal Way residents safely escaped a house fire early Tuesday morning in the 33700 block of 37th Avenue. The family dog, however, did not make it. “We brought him out afterward, but he was dead,” said Lt. Jeff Bellinghausen, community affairs officer for South King Fire and Rescue. The house sustained significant damage to the attic and roof, as well as the back section of the house. There was also significant water damage, Bellinghausen said. The fire was contained to the one house. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Rotary Club raises money for Christmas shopping BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com
C
hristmas is five months away and the Federal Way Rotary Club is getting ready. The club has raised enough money so far to take 57 elementary and middle school children Christmas shopping this year. The club’s Christmas shopping program was instituted 20 years ago and for every $100 raised, one underprivileged child is selected from the school district to go Christmas shopping, with an average of 15 to 20 children per year. Since then, the club has been able to up the allowance, giving each child selected $150 to spend, said club secretary Brian Ailinger. The school district identifies children eligible for
the program and recommends them to the Rotary Club. Club members or guests of club members are paired with children and sent to the store — often the Federal Way Target or Walmart, Ailinger said. Shopping chaperones try to ensure primary needs are met, such as warm winter clothes or school uniforms, before turning the children loose in the toy aisles. When Ailinger accompanies children, he tries to help teach them responsibility, he said. If children rely on their parents to wake them up, he will suggest they buy an alarm clock. Children often want to purchase Christmas presents for their family also. If purchases exceed $150, the chaperone is responsible for making up the difference, which isn’t uncommon,
Ailinger said. On shopping day, the Rotary Club hosts all the children for breakfast. Last year the club had to take its 45 kids to the store in three shifts. During the nine years Ailinger has participated, he recalled shopping last year with a timid Eastern European boy. By the end of the trip, the child — and his sister who was accompanied by Ailinger’s wife — were talking and laughing openly. “You almost couldn’t get them to sit down and be quiet,” he said with a laugh. While the gifts are nice, the program is a way for the community to connect with kids at a young age and be supportive. “It’s a different way of giving back,” Ailinger said. “It’s really about giving the time, not so much the stuff.”
Federal Way Rotarians and volunteers met up with 45 students from several local elementary schools at the Walmart on 312th Street to take them shopping for Christmas in 2012. The club’s Christmas shopping program was instituted 20 years ago. Contributed photo Donations to the club are tax deductible and can be earmarked for specific programs. Funding for the program comes from the club’s an-

even though he was a strong supporter of several Democratic policy positions. Miloscia says, “I don’t care much about political parties,” and he has highlighted his “Independent” views on several occasions. Given that he shares some political beliefs with each party, that may be accurate. However, Miloscia knows the district leans Democratic and there are some Democrats who aren’t happy about Song being recruited from outside the district to run. As a result, his “Independence” might be calculated to appeal to Democratic voters, who previously voted for him. And he apparently cares enough about political parties that much of his literature is paid for by the state Republican Party, and groups affiliated with the Republican party. All those years in office provide Miloscia with a significant name advantage. Just as Song supporters have attacked Miloscia for switching parties, not supporting education or women’s
issues, Miloscia supporters have struck back with a mailing piece calling Song a carpetbagger for only moving here to run for office. And Miloscia’s recent mailer makes a point of including all his local service on boards. Both candidates will have a lot of money to spend but will benefit by third party expenditures who will likely do most of the “hit” pieces. These independent expenditures are not supposed to coordinate with the candidate, and it is harder to track who they represent. In most cases, they are funded by special interest groups and will spend significant amounts of money to elect the person that will support their legislation. And as I said earlier, this race will get nasty even if the candidates stay within normal boundaries. As a suggestion, every time you get a mailer, read a newspaper ad or watch a television commercial, check to see who paid for it.
home, auto, property, restaurant, investment professionals
On television they will tell you and in written material it will be printed on the ad or mailer. If it didn’t come directly from the candidate, ignore it, unless you recognize the sponsor and believe them to be credible. If the candidate puts their name on it, there is some accountability if you have questions. A good rule of thumb, don’t believe everything you hear about each candidate. Good or bad. Both candidates are nice people to talk to and they will know the issues. But they are very different in their policy positions. Miloscia is the frontrunner and Song has to make up for the lost time she has been out of the community. Will this turn in to a close race? Money could make the difference.

police officers for proper traffic control.” The survey also asked if the city should consider placing cameras in all school zones. The majority of entrants, 42, said no, while 28 said yes and seven were undecided. “No. School zones are already the safest streets in the city. Where are the stats to show that school zones are more dangerous than other locations?” Another wrote, “No, I think the schools should have their own flaggers and one school patrol car out during the times kids are being let out of school. What are we paying the school administrators for?” Most of those who answered yes were motivated for an obvious reason — student
safety. Thirty-five people said the city’s biggest benefit of having traffic cameras is revenue generation, while 22 said safety. “The city earns a lot of revenue at the expense of taxpayers who are already broke,” one person wrote. However, another person strongly feels it’s not about the money: “Restraining the behavior of drivers who think that traffic laws exist to keep other drivers out of their way. We, Federal Way, Washington, USA have a problem on the roads. We need to put the specious money grab argument behind us to recognize and deal with the issue.” Residents also sounded off about their concerns with traffic cameras. They ranged from fighting a camera photo versus a police
officer in court, the duration of yellow lights at intersections with cameras appears to be shorter, to potential camera malfunctions and the cost of a traffic ticket. “[Traffic cameras] increase the likelihood of small collisions because people passing through intersections are paranoid about getting a ticket, so they will stop suddenly if a light turns yellow,” one person wrote. “The City Council is making money off of poor people who cannot afford a ticket well over $100,” another wrote. “That is a whole day’s salary for most people. Plus if they protest the ticket they have to take off work without pay. Shame on you, City Council.” The final question asked residents if they would fight a ticket in court. Forty-two

people said yes, 17 said no and 19 were undecided. Many who answered no said it’s easier to pay the fine due to the inconvenience of having to go to court. Others said they want their time in front of a judge: “I want to face my accusers who made me feel like a criminal,” wrote one respondent. “I have lived in Federal Way over 35 years and am a contributing taxpayer. You are making me a stressful driver in Federal Way as I try to plot out routes that avoid cameras. Shame on you for treating me like this.” But others wrote they would pay the ticket if it was justified: “If I was guilty, I would pay the fine and figure it’s a lesson learned.”

Author describes life as a dancer for the Germans during WWII
Elfi Hornby sits in her “Bavarian corner” at her Federal Way home. Hornby has written three books detailing what it was like to dance for German soldiers at the Russian front during World War II and the events to follow. RAECHEL DAWSON, the Mirror
Fearful that she may be pregnant and also that she would get in trouble for pretending she was Hungarian, Hornby went with him back to Omaha, Nebraska in 1949. Her husband was the son of a prominent, churchgoing family in Nebraska and found her, a German dancer, to be scandalous. “Every German was a Nazi,” she said, sarcastically. “They were socially conscious of everything. I couldn’t buy into it.” Although her husband “adored her from the outside” he had no respect for her in their marriage. He didn’t have a job and got bigger and bigger, “Nothing attractive,” she said. But because Hornby was forced to find a way to make money, she was able to find her joy in life. She opened a ballet school and founded the Children’s Dance Theater, which would be later known as the Omaha Dance Theater. She directed and choreographed original ballets, such as Esmeralda, River Gold, The Little Match Girl, The Lonely Crowd and classics, such as Firebird and pieces of Swan Lake. “I’m very proud of [my students],” she said. “Half a dozen made it to Hollywood, the American Ballet theater, New York, the Opera. That was my joy.” But Hornby’s world came crashing down when a work problem and a personal problem collided. During that time, her Jewish friend’s husband alleged Hornby had a “Mein Kampf ” and Bible together on her bookshelf. Her busi-
ness was “dissolved overnight.” Hornby said it was her husband’s signed copy as a “souvenir” of his time there, but her businesses ceased, nevertheless. At the same time, she was battling one of the worst things any mother could.
Her husband had been sexually abusing their daughter as a child. With no help from police, some council members agreed to have someone send her husband away to a psychiatric ward for two to

trench, you would get a bullet,” Hornby said. “It’s a paradox.” Hornby and her dance team went to the south of France after that but she got sick and had to be sent home. It was then that she saw the true devastation war had caused. To survive, she thought she had to dance for the Americans, as an agent was there organizing shows. But with no costumes from her ballet company and no money to buy something on the black market, Hornby found herself desperate for a costume. People plundered the Nazi warehouses for food, whatever they could find. But by the time she got there, there was hardly anything left. “The only thing they left was gigantic Hitler flags on the walls,” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh, that would make a terrific costume. So I tore down that Hitler flag and brought it home and mother said ‘Get the heck out of here, all this time we never had a flag and you come home with the biggest one ever made, they’re gonna kill us!’” Hornby’s neighbor seamstress helped her make a red Spanish costume from the flag. It had a lot of ruffles with black trimming and some sequins. Although she was able to get the job dancing for the Americans, it didn’t last too long because some threatened to kick them out during the curfew Americans had in Germany if they did not perform topless, and also because there wasn’t stable housing in the American tours. She soon met a Hungarian circus-like group that traveled as a family. She became one of them and describes the experiences as “great.” But then she met a man who would her become her first husband. The man courted her, almost stalked her, she said, until he eventually took her sarcasm to be married seriously. After discovering a pastor in the hotel lobby, she ran up to her hotel room and locked the door. But the man would eventually bribe the clerk to let him in. “It was a rape,” she said. “I was a trophy to bring back.”

Q&A with Mr. FW: Coupon craze and citizen journalists Q
: Mr. Federal Way, I heard that in addition to the fine news the Mirror provides, the newspaper is also stuffed with great coupons. I generally only read your online version for the news, but how can I get my hands on those coupons every week? A: You are correct. In fact, the coupon inserts are so highly coveted our publisher has limited the amount one person can purchase to 20 newspapers. Mr. Federal Way has seen droves of professional couponers file through the Mirror’s office on any given Friday to get their hands on the week’s deals. Several of the regulars have confessed to Mirror staff that they use private Facebook groups, Instagram and various blogs to track which items are on sale that can be matched up with current coupons to maximize savings. For example, if a tasty snack item is on sale for $1 at the grocery store and one of our inserts includes a coupon for $1 off that tasty snack item, the item becomes free. Frozen vegetables, paper towels, deodorant, shower gel, soap and lunch snacks are among the items Mr. Federal Way has heard these bargain hunters stockpile at no cost. Mr. Federal Way once used a fistful of $1 off coupons when his favorite BBQ sauce was on sale, which reduced the price of each bottle to 25 cents. Although it was quite a rush,
you won’t find Mr. Federal Way toting a baseball card organizer full of coupons around the grocery store. Mr. Federal Way leaves the deal seeking and regular grocery shopping to Mrs. Federal Way. Mr. Federal Way hasn’t even figured out how to set up a Facebook profile yet, so private groups, tweets, hoots and snaps are pretty much out of the question. If you are thinking of joining the couponing craze, Mr. Federal Way recommends dropping by the Mirror office on a Friday afternoon and investing in a stack of newspapers. The papers usually arrive by 2 p.m. and the super charming staff member at the front desk will happily take your cash in exchange for a bundle of bargain laden newspapers. The cost is 75 cents per paper and well worth it if you are into saving money, stockpiling or excessive showering. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I saw the Mirror staff got shiny new press pass badges. What sparked this after years of no badges? A: Although Mr. Federal Way is still waiting for his badge (hint, hint Rudi Alcott), Mr. Federal Way has seen the newly laminated photo identification tags and they are quite the bees knees. It’s often a misconception that reporters, editors and the rest of those with the media are no more privileged than your aver-
age citizen journalist or photographer. But typical reporters these days are required to earn their bachelor’s degrees in communications and undergo countless hours of free labor, also known as internships that provide credit, to be hired. Listen, reporters and editors can’t be everywhere at once, which is why the community’s help in taking photos is so important. However, if at any point in time photographers or contributing writers try to pass off that they’re with the newspaper (and not really contributing to it), it can have serious ramifications if something were to go wrong. Sound Publishing, Inc. is a fairly large company that backs the Mirror and employees are held to a high standard. In turn, we’ve got lawyers to protect us against potential lawsuits. Citizen journalists and photographers don’t always know the rules when it comes to liability or privacy laws. Heck, often Mr. Federal Way has to look those up in his big-book-of-everything. It’s a fine line. Just know as a community, you have the right to ask where a photo or piece of information may be published. Q: Mr. Federal Way, I heard that someone took your photo at the recent Salmon Bake event and it made it in the slideshow on the Mirror’s website. A: None of your business.

It was 1963. Hornby said she knew one family in the west but the area attracted her because the mountains and woods reminded her of her homeland. “These were things I needed,” she said. Hornby was hired at Reed College in Portland, Oregon as an artist in residence for minimum salary. But the dance department grew and she was able to make a life for herself. “I worked the hell out of my students and they would go around the campus ‘Ahh, she worked us out again,’” she laughed. “That was advertisement, then all the other students came. Reed was a fun place, a funny place. It was during the hippie era and they came in all kinds of getups and stuff.” Eventually, she stopped teaching dance at 42 years old in 1968 because she needed to have a spinal fusion to fix injuries from a car accident. During that time, she met her husband, Jim, and they moved to the Seattle area. Her first book was published in the 1990s after having started it as a 16-year-old. “What 16-year-old girl would have an experience, how many women at that time would have the experience to know and live like soldiers did, up in front, see it from

While she hopes to have the chance to write one last book explaining this concept, she doubts she’ll have the time. “I get tired and I’m slow, I don’t remember things like I used to,” she said. “It took so many turns, but you just go with the flow. You have to change course when it doesn’t work. Then you have to take another road. I’m glad and proud of my accomplishments. I’m not proud of all the mistakes I made, hopefully I learned from them. But I did. And I still have the urge to write my last word, a summation of what I have learned because times have changed so much … The world has changed but nothing has changed in the human condition.” For more information on Hornby’s books, visit www.elfihornby.com.

Knights little league baseball wins state competition FROM STAFF REPORTS
The 13U Federal Way Knights are the 2014 state champions of the Washington State National Sandy Koufax division, bringing home the title with a 12-3 win over the (Mercer Island) Islanders on July 21. The Knights didn’t lose a game in the tournament and outscored their opponents 44-19. The team finished their regular season with a 22-8 record, putting them in fourth place overall and earning them a berth in the tournament. They started the tournament out with a 9-1 win over Stod’s Outlaws
career in the District 6 tournament, finishing 5 under par, which put him ahead of second place by eight strokes. He started the District 6 tournament off with a one-under par 71, and finished with a four-under par 68. According to his mother, Clapp finished his tournament “with a dramatic 18th hole birdie.” “Sixty-eight is the best he’s scored in any tournament,” she added. “He was feeling pretty good about that.” Clapp will be joined by Wallat in the 62 player field. The tournaments will be played from Aug. 6-8 at three courses in Spokane: Manito Golf and Country Club, Hangman Valley Golf Course and Wandermere Golf Course. The two also had recent success,
when Clapp, who will be a senior at Decatur High School this fall, took ninth place overall for the state prep tournament. Wallat, who will also be entering his senior year at Todd Beamer, recorded a 38th place finish for the state prep tournament in May. Beyke and Yi may have an easier time of it in next weekend’s tournament, with the Girls 16-17 tournament only having 24 competitors. Beyke, who will be entering her senior year at Decatur this fall, also had a strong showing in the prep state tournament in May, finishing 15th place overall. Yi will be a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School next fall, and has had plenty of state-level experience on the prep side. To learn more, visit www.wjga.net.

The next step for the Knights was a 5-4 win over Outlaws Black. The Knights closed out the tournament and secured the state title in a rematch against the Islanders. The Knights next step will be a game against City Navy in what’s dubbed as a “Super-Championship Game.” If the Knights win that game, they’ll bring home the Sandy Koufax Cup, according to team organizers. The Knights are made up of Malachi Afework, Ben Ray, Brandon Locke, Brandon Niksich, Tommy Davis, Branham Ponce, Nicholas Orr, Tate Wallat,
Travis Miller, Josh Mears, Gavin Knapp, Tyler Tribble and Blake Beck. The team is managed by Bob Beck, and is coached by Tom Wallat and Jim Knapp.

The Eastside Football Club G98 Red GU15 fell short in their national title defense at the 2014 US Youth Soccer National Championships this past week, ultimately taking third place in one of the premier youth soccer competitions in the country. “I am very proud of the effort the girls put forth,” coach Tom Bialek said. “Every game was very demanding and required everything we had to give. We played our best game overall in the semifinals, and while we created many good chances and controlled play to a large degree, we never could break through with a goal, though we did hit the

Jacksonville is a very good team.” In fact, the Eastside Football Club squad was three minutes away from going to a penalty kick shootout with the eventual champion Jacksonville team, when Jacksonville put home a diving header to give them the 1-0 win. The loss in the semifinal marked a strong run of soccer for the girls. The team took first place in the “prestigious US Youth Soccer National League,” when the team traveled and competed in North Carolina and Las Vegas, Nevada. In that competition, the G98 Red girls dominated, tallying six wins, one loss, which put them easily ahead of the 15 other teams in their age group. That performance qualified them for the national championships. The team also finished first in Division 1 of the Washington Youth Soccer Regional Club League, and notched a state title from their participation in that league. Up until the national tournament, the team played 37 matches, won 30, lost three and tied four. They recorded an astonishing 25 shutouts, with a breathtaking 92 goals for, compared to only 16 goals against. Federal Way’s Mikaylie Moore, who attends Thomas Jefferson High School, played an important role in the run-up to the teams eventual semifinal loss. Moore netted the first goal in the team’s opening game against Alliance Academy
99 Black, a team from Michigan. According to the team, in the 32nd minute, Moore “dribbled around the keeper and calmly slotted the ball into the net to get things started.” Alliance pulled one back four minutes later, leaving the teams tied at halftime, 1-1. Moore scored the decisive goal in the 59th minute, “with an ESPNhighlight-reel-worthy diving header.” In their second match, the Eastside girls faced off with their competition from last year’s national title game, the YMS Premiere Xplosion from Pennsylvania. Eastside opened up the scoring in the seventh minute, but the Xplosion responded with three goals of their own in the first half. The final line on the game was 3-1, but according to the team “created opportunities right up until the final whistle.” Moore was again integral in the third game of the tournament, which was against Legends FC from California. Moore sent a pass into Legends’ goal, which deflected off their keeper and found Moore’s teammate, Jojo Harber, waiting to put the ball home. Legends equalized on a corner in the 60th minute, and Legends’ excellent goalkeeping kept Eastside from the win, when the goalie successfully saved a penalty kick in the 81st minute. The G98 Red team has girls from Federal Way and elsewhere. To learn more, visit eastsidefc.org.

This week’s…
ALERT
Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Massive shoplifting effort: At 5 p.m. on July 27 at 29625 Pacific Highway South, a man reported that about 40 male and female juveniles came into the Shell gas station and began stealing drinks, candy and other foodstuffs en masse in a massive shoplifting effort. He tried to intervene and managed to grab one jacket from a female. One male threw a can of soda at the victim but missed. All subjects were gone and dispersed prior to police arrival. The total estimated loss was $70. Group of shoplifters steal alcohol: At 1:50 p.m. on July 27 at 28719 Military Road S., a witness reported that a group of about 10-15 juvenile males and females entered the 711 and some of them took alcohol from the store without paying. The group left the scene prior to police arrival. The witness could not say for sure exactly what items were taken, but estimated the loss to be approximately $60. While the responding officer was on scene, a group of
Police seeks comments for reaccreditation FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Federal Way Police Department is pursuing its fourth reaccreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. This commission has been accrediting law enforcement agencies since 1979. The Federal Way Police Department is one of only eight law enforcement agencies currently accred-
10-15 males and females came walking through the parking lot from the north. The officer took the witness outside to see if he could identify the suspects who stole the items. However, he could not say which ones took the items, nor could he identify them. He only stated he knew they took cans of Four Loko and some bottles of wine. Couple uses ruse to steal parrot, cockatoo: At 3:44 p.m. on July 27 in the 31800 block of 54th Ave. SW, officers responded to a theft in progress. Further investigation revealed that a couple, who own a parrot rescue organization in Graham, Washington, arrived at the victim’s Federal Way home under a ruse to provide service to the woman’s bird’s beak. However, they seized the woman’s two birds, according to the police report. They told the police officer they had actually come to the residence to do a welfare check on two birds, a green parrot and a white cockatoo, that they had adopted out to the resident earlier this year. They said the parrot had not been properly maintained with beak trimming, so they confiscated the parrot, per their contract with the woman. Police examined the parrot and noted its beak bottom and top were long and un-maintained and did not line up with one another, giving the bird a “scissor
bite,” the report continues. The couple said the bird could not eat or drink like that, had lost weight and needed veterinary attention. Police spoke with the victim, who was distracted because she was looking for a second bird, the cockatoo. She said she got into a physical altercation with the couple and the bird went missing. The bird owner told police that she neglected the bird’s beak because the couple did not follow through with training her how to trim its beak. She was under the impression that the couple came to her home to train her how to trim the beak. The woman told police the couple attacked her physically to get the parrot from her grasp. Police removed the birds from the couple’s possession and arrested the woman who owns the rescue organization. Police also advised the bird owner to have a veterinarian check both birds within 24 hours. The woman’s neighbor told police she would help her trim the bird’s beak in the future. Father accuses mother of child neglect: At 7:34 p.m. on July 27 in the 1900 block of SW Campus Drive, A father reported that he picked his 4-year-old son up from the child’s mother’s house and he noticed the boy had a black eye. He asked his son what happened to his face and he replied, “I fell on fire,” the report notes. He
said he called his ex-wife and she said she did not know how the injury occurred. The father was concerned that his ex-wife was not monitoring their child during visitation. Police interviewed the boy and determined that the injury was accidental. Disabled grandmother, grandchildren living in deplorable campsite: At 9:21 p.m. on July 27 in the 1400 block of S. Dash Point Road, police officers responded to a report of a welfare check on a 71-year-old woman in a wheelchair and her three grandsons, ages 6, 9 and 11. All were found to be camping in the tree line area around Sacajawea Park. The boys’ mother, a Renton resident, was recently booked into jail on a warrant and left her children with their grandmother. The woman, who was in an electric wheelchair, told police she could not care for the children. She said they were living in a tent because the family was recently evicted from their apartment. According to the report, the children’s clothing was soiled and had holes. They were only being fed once a day and the tent they were living in was small and cramped. Police took the children into custody, fed them and were unable to locate relatives. Child Protective Services took custody of them, placing the two youngest boys into
the same home, and the oldest into a different home. Clean sweep: At 9:20 p.m. on July 26 in the 1900 block of S. 314th St., a woman was apprehended for trying to do a “cart push” of cleaning supplies. She attempted to steal $279.59 of supplies, the report notes. Man wields machete at Burger King: At 11 a.m. on July 26 at 34819 Pacific Highway S., a 28-year-old Auburn man was arrested for exhibiting a machete inside Burger King in a manner that alarmed an employee. The employee told police that the man, who was talking to himself, ordered some food. He bent down to get money out of his backpack, which had the machete tied to it. He opened the backpack and she also saw another knife inside. He told the worker he did not have enough money, while holding the machete out in his hand towards his side. Another employee came to the front counter and grabbed the machete from the man’s hand. Police located the man, who had a large buck knife taped to the frame of his bicycle. An officer asked the man if it was normal to walk inside a busy fast food restaurant at lunch time and display a knife, and he replied, “Everyone’s normal is different. What might be normal for me, might not be normal for you.”
Forcible fondling: At 1:15 p.m. on July 26 in the 31700 block of Gateway Center Boulevard, a woman reported to police that an older male co-worker forcibly fondled her breasts. The investigation is ongoing. Man passed out in drive thru: At 3:03 a.m. on July 25 at 34814 Pacific Highway S., police contacted a man after he was found passed out in the drive thru, with the vehicle in drive and the engine running. He blew a .128 and was arrested. Forcible sodomy: At 6 p.m. on July 25 in the 2200 block of S. Star Lake Road, a woman reported that her 4-year-old daughter disclosed that her father’s friend touched her inappropriately on her buttocks. The case is under investigation. Sex offense: At 6:19 p.m. on July 24 in the 30000 block of Third Ave. S., a 15-year-old reported that while she was jogging from Sacagawea Middle School back home, she passed a male who was tying his shoe on the side of the road. After a short ways, she slowed her pace to a walk and the man tapped her on the her shoulder to get her attention. He asked her how old she was and when she replied, he touched her buttocks. She slapped his hand away and ran home. Police could not locate the suspect.
ited in the state of Washington. A team of assessors will be conducting an evaluation of the police department from Aug. 10-13. The Gold Standard Assessment is a new methodology for assessing agencies seeking reaccreditation, which focuses primarily on processes and outcomes associated with standards specific to agency policies. In short, it works to measure the impact of accreditation, as opposed to simply confirming compliance through a file-by-file review. The team is made up of police professionals from around the country
who have been trained to thoroughly assess police departments seeking reaccreditation status and ensure that each meets the commission’s state-of-theart standards. As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session at 6 p.m. Aug. 11. The session will be conducted in the City Hall Council Chambers, 33325 Eighth Ave. S. The public may also call 253-835-6800 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25 to provide comments via
telephone. Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with the commission’s standards. A copy of the standards is available for review at the police lobby during business hours. For information, contact Commander Stan McCall at 253-835-6715. To submit written comments, write to: Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., 13575 Heathcote Boulevard, Suite 320, Gainesville, Virginia, 20155.

FROM STAFF REPORTS
The city will host a free showing of “The Lego Movie” at 9 p.m. Aug. 9 at the Town Square Park in downtown Federal Way. “This is a great event for families to enjoy a nice evening in the downtown under the stars and watch a family movie that is a hit with kids and adults,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell in a press release from the city. “We want to invite everyone to join us.” Free popcorn will be available for all, but families should bring their own refreshments. Seating will be on the lawn area and guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs to sit on. The city also said guests should take note of the weather and dress appropriately. Movie night is officially put on by the Federal Way Parks and Recreation department, and looks to be a regular part of the “growing option of activities at the city’s newest park.” The city has already put on group fitness classes at the park, along with yoga classes and basketball clinics. The city is planning on hosting a 3-on3 basketball tournament
Apple Festival funds to help wildfire victims FROM STAFF REPORTS
Organizers of the annual Federal Way Farmers Market Apple Festival & Run have committed to donating $5 per participant to those affected by the eastern Washington wildfires. The event will be held on Aug. 2 and the funds will be directed to the Red Cross. Monetary donations will also be accepted that day at the market’s information booth. The Washington wildfire is the largest recorded fire in our state’s history. Some 200 homes have been lost. Many in the affected communities have been without power and water, and smokey conditions have reduced air quality. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. and the festival will run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Federal Way Commons Mall parking lot near Sears.

LEGAL NOTICES DevCo, Inc., 10900 NE 8th Street, Suite 1200, Bellevue, WA 98004 , is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, Kitts Corner Multifamily is located at 33701 Pacific Highway S. in Federal Way, in King County, Washington. This project involves approx. 11.0 acres of soil disturbance for grading, roadway, storm drainage, utility, and dwelling unit construction activities in support of a new Multi-Family development. Stormwater will be discharged to the Kitts Corner Regional Stormwater detention facility which provides flooding protection for the West Hylebos drainage system. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173-201A-320. Comments can be submitted to: Department of Ecology Attn: Water Quality Program, Construction Stormwater P.O.

HEATH L. BAKER, ESQ., (SBN: 276802) LAW OFFICE OF HEATH L. BAKER 4009 BROCKTON AVENUE RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 92501 T: (951) 222-2228 F: (951) 222-0283 hb@heathbakerlaw.com Attorney for Petitioner, Diana Makhlouf SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE DIANA MAKHLOUF, Petitioner, vs. RAMEZ, MAKHLOUF, Respondent Case No.: RID 1305053 AMENDED NOTICE AND PETITION OF GRANDPARENT VISITATION, PURSUANT TO FAMILY CODE SECTION 3104, MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF PETITION TO RESPONDENT, RAMEZ MAKHLOUF, AND TO HIS ATTORNEY OF RECORD: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Petitioner, Diana Makhlouf, seeks an order for visitation with her biological grandchild, Donna Makhlouf, pursuant to Family Code, section 3104 et seq., which provides, “On petition to the court by a grandparent of a minor child, the court may grant reasonable visitation rights to the grandparent if the court does both of the following: (1) Finds that there is a preexisting relationship between the grandparent and the grandchild that has engendered a bond such that visitation is in the best interest of the child. (2) Balances the interest of the child in having visitation with the grandparent against the right of the parents to exercise their parental authority.” PETITIONER, Diana Makhlouf, alleges the following: 1. Petitioner is the paternal Grandmother of the minor child, Donna Makhlouf, (born September 24, 2001), hereinafter referred to as “the child” or “Donna.” Donna is the daughter of Petitioner’s son, Ramez. 2. The mother of the child is Christine (Cruz) Makhlouf; the father of the child is the Respondent, Ramez Makhlouf. The parents of the child are not currently married to each other; they were divorced on October 25, 2007, pursuant to California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, case number YD047233. 3. On or about October 25, 2007, a judgment was entered in the Los Angeles County Superior Court under case number YD047233, awarding the parents the following or-
ders: JOINT legal custody to mother and father, and SOLE physical custody to father. 4. The child is currently in the custody of the father, and is residing in the City of Corona, California, within the County of Riverside. 5. Within the judgment filed on October 25, 2007, case number YD047233, the Court ordered the marriage of the parties to be terminated on October 25, 2007; mother and father are not married to each other. 6. There is a preexisting relationship between Grandmother and Donna that has engendered a bond such that visitation is in the best interest of the child. Since birth the child has remained in the care and custody of Petitioner / Grandmother, on a daily basis, until the recent conflict between Petitioner and Respondent (see Declaration of Petitioner, dated 12/6/13). Donna was born with a rare genetic disorder that leaves very few infants living. From birth, Respondent left Donna with Grandmother to be cared for, fed, bathed, dressed, and medically watched over. Donna’s mother left when Donna was very young, and Respondent requested Petitioner continue parenting Donna for him, during the most difficult times of a child’s life (newborn, infancy, toddler, preschooler, and school age years). Shortly after Donna was born and released from the hospital (year 2001), she moved into Grandmother’s home. Donna remained living with Grandmother from the year 2001, until the year 2009. In 2009, Respondent remarried and moved out of Petitioner’s home; but, Donna continued to visit almost every day and spent the night twice each week. Donna is now twelve (12) years old, and up until last year, she and Grandmother have enjoyed the relationship and companionship of each other without interference or issue. Over the course of eleven (11) years, the child and Petitioner have established a bond much like a parent and child would establish - starting at birth and growing over a lifetime (a twelve year life). 7. In or around the month of May 2013, was the last time Grandmother was permitted to visit with the child. Father stopped allowing the child to visit with Petitioner, and unequivocally denied Grandmother from ANY and ALL visits with Donna. Father informed Petitioner that he disapproved of the ongoing interaction between the child and Petitioner and would no longer permit Petitioner to have any contact or visitation of any kind with the child. Father went as far as to obtain a restraining order against Petitioner, to keep Petitioner away from father and to keep Petitioner from locating the child. The child was no longer allowed to visit her grandmother, eat meals, spend the night, do homework, interact with play dates, or share stories about the family and her recently deceased grandfather. In or around July 2013, Petitioner commenced an action for visitation with Donna in Los Angeles County, only to have the action moved to Riverside County. Petitioner has been diligent in this matter, making every effort to see this child. Petitioner has not been dilatory in her attempt to obtain an order for visitation and makes her request based on the best interest of Donna, considering the past practices of all parties involved. There are competing interests between Respondent’s right to parent the child and the interest of Donna in having ongoing visitation with Grandmother, based on the afore-stated information. Based on the fact that Respondent encouraged the visitation between Donna and Grandmother, Respondent has created the competing issues himself and the Court should look first to the best interest of the child. 8. A completed declaration under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act is attached or has been filed with this instant action. PRAYER FOR RELIEF 1. For an Order of this Court granting visitation between the child and the Petitioner, for reasonable times and durations, as to be determined. 2. For any such other relief as the Court deems proper and equitable. Respectfully submitted, LAW OFFICE OF HEATH L. BAKER Dated: By: HEATH L. BAKER Attorney for Petitioner, Diana Makhlouf Published in the Federal Way Mirror on August 1, 8, 15, 22, 2014. FWM2154

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

vindicated by the June 30 Supreme Court decision that sided with the company. But before you go too “holier than thou” on me, how about a reality check rant? Reports abound about the hypocrisies involved in this ruling. The Supreme Court
decision was 5-4, and split along gender lines. Seriously, guys? That was so 1960 of you. Listen up, women of America — if you think sexism isn’t what is used to be, you’re right. This is what it looks like in 2014. Hobby Lobby’s plan,
which denies coverage for emergency contraception and other birth control methods for women, still covers the male condom, erectile dysfunction treatments and vasectomies. Apparently, it’s OK to get an exemption to the Affordable

of Representatives. 2. Support organizations who work to protect women’s health in America, like Planned Parenthood and NARAL. Contact Federal Way Reps. Linda Kochmar and Roger Freeman in our state Legislature to tell them how important it is not to close Public Health clinics, especially now. 3. Speak up. Ninety-nine percent of women in our country use birth control at some point in their lives. Imagine what your life might be like — and the lives of your sisters, mothers, wives, aunts and daughters — if access to birth control continues to erode. Stay tuned. Right now, it looks like we’re headed toward rounding out this action-packed trilogy with Hobby Lobby 3: Price of the Slippery Slope.
SEX IN THE SUBURBS
Hobby Lobby 2: The holy hypocrites
Care Act mandates not only for religious beliefs, but for sexist, discriminatory and hypocritical religious beliefs. But wait — there’s more! Hobby Lobby has millions and millions of dollars invested in companies that manufacture emergency contraception, that produce components of the dreaded IUD and that produce drugs used in the abortions they have been so pious and vocal about abhorring. Evidently, the critical reading skills involved in dissecting the Affordable Care Act and Religious Freedom Restoration Act did not extend to awareness and integrity in their financial plan. Looks a lot like greed to me. At a time when our local Public Health center is in danger of closing due to budget cuts, the fact that at least one local employer is now free to discontinue birth control coverage (and goodness knows what else in the coming weeks) based on the discriminatory religious beliefs of its owners is disturbing. If you find this troubling, too, here are a few things you can do: 1. Support the Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act, introduced today by our own U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Colorado’s Sen. Mark Udall. Companion legislation is being brought in the House
