Council approves tall memorial flagpole

Police officer who struck suspect with vehicle back on duty

BY GREG ALLMAIN

3 robbery suspects arrested; 2 charged

The Federal Way City Council unanimously approved the installation of a 60-foot memorial flagpole on South 320th Street between Pacific Highway and 20th Avenue South. The project was approved with a proviso to not exceed $35,000, and city staff estimates they should be able to keep the project under that price tag. There is also current discussions about renaming the stretch of 320th Street on which this project will be placed “Veterans Way Boulevard” as a way for the city to have a “permanent reminder and memorial to the people that have given their life for their country,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell, although he noted the renaming idea is one that’s still being “bandied about.” Regardless, Ferrell said he was a “firm no” before sitting down and talking with Federal Way resident Bob Kellogg about the project. The mayor said the project’s aesthetic appeal was what eventually won him over. “Now when I first heard this, I was a little skeptical,” Ferrell said during the Council’s Aug. 12 meeting. “I had some concerns when I sat down [ more FLAG, page 2 ]

Federal Way police officer who was placed on administrative leave after he struck an armed robbery suspect with his vehicle in July has returned to duty. According to documents the Mirror obtained of the police department’s internal

investigation, Officer Justin Wilson reacted appropriately when he hit the suspect. An administrative memorandum from Commander Steve Neal stated Wilson’s force against the suspect was “within the accepted practices and in compliance with Federal Way policy and procedures.” “It is impossible to predict [ more POLICE, page 2 ]

27YEARS OF SERVICE

After one year of controversy, a public meeting, two project appeals, one Hearing Examiner hearing, 18 days of deliberation and one decision, it appears the 308 apartment units that make up the proposed High Point mixed-use project will eventually become a reality. On Aug. 15, Phil Olbrechts, the city of Federal Way’s Hearing Examiner, issued a 19-page decision on two High Point project appeals that were heard together on July 28. Olbrechts ruled the initial approval of the mitigated determination of non-significance and Process III permit were sustained but with three modifications. Developer Jack Hunden of DevCo, Inc. is now required to keep several tall laurel trees on the northern side of his property where single family homes abut his property line. He’s also required to prepare a dust

control plan that ensures the contaminated dust will not affect the neighboring properties during clean up of the contaminated site. Before he can obtain his grading permit, he must follow the recommendations of a third party report, which includes investigating the southwest corner of the site for contamination, prior to receiving a grading permit. Hunden declined to speak with the Mirror about the High Point project until midSeptember. More than 80 Federal Way residents opposed the 15-building apartment complex proposal that will cater to low-income tenants because of its close proximity to their neighborhood and its large scale. The developer proposes the buildings range from three to six stories, which is within zoning code but contrasts with single family homes that abut the north side of the 9.8 acre property, [ more APPEALS, page 22 ]

all circumstances that an officer might encounter in the field at any given time,” the memorandum states. “Officers are trained to react to circumstances and behaviors and to make decisions that will accomplish the mission of the police department and earn the public’s trust.” The memorandum states the main lesson learned in the incident is that officers should better communicate with each other. “Responding officers are able to be more efficient if they have valuable information to front load them prior to their arrival,” the memorandum continues. The two suspects were recently charged with first-degree robbery and a third suspect faces the same charge in the July 14 incident, when Wilson happened to be in the area by coincidence and stopped the drug-deal-gone-bad. According to court documents, Wilson saw a man wearing a black mask crossing the road at the Dumas Bay Centre. He said the man dropped a handgun out of his hand and Wilson struck him with his vehicle. The suspect, later identified as 18-year-old Antonio Godfrey, of Federal Way, was transported to Tacoma General Hospital with minor injuries. Godfrey later told police his friends asked him if he wanted to go pick up an ounce of marijuana with them. He said one of his friends drove the three to the Dumas Bay Centre area to buy the pot. Godfrey said his friends supplied him with the mask and a handgun, which he said fell out of his pocket onto the roadway before Wilson’s vehicle struck him. He told police the trio didn’t rob the victim as they had enough money to buy the marijuana from him. However, the victim told police that Godfrey, whom he knows, wore a mask and pointed a gun at him, demanding the three half-ounce bags of marijuana, according to court documents. The victim said Godfrey took the marijuana and ran, and 15 seconds later was hit by the police car. Officers subsequently located Champell Johnson, 19, after a short foot pursuit. He denied involvement in the robbery. Godfrey pleaded not guilty to the charge on Aug. 13 and his bail was set at $50,000. He has one prior conviction for assault and is prohibited from possessing a firearm. Johnson’s arraignment is set for Aug. 27 in King County Superior Court.

with Mr. Kellogg, frankly, he won me over. What it was that won me over, was this idea of our city and the view that will forever be associated with our city, is this beautiful panorama of flags and the American flag in the center.” Kellogg said he was inspired by wanting to create a space in the city that all residents can share together. “I’ll say something about why I believe the flag is important. It’s common ground. It’s common ground for all Americans. When it comes down to it, whether Republican or Democrat or whatever … when it comes down to it, you’re an American and you’re proud of it,” Kellog said during the meeting. “I think it’s important to our citizens to become emotionally tied to [the project]. I think this is one way of doing it.” This idea was presented to the Land Use Transportation Committee earlier this summer, and at that meeting, Councilwoman Kelly Maloney and others raised some practical concerns regarding potential safety issues. Public Works Director Marwan Salloum researched those concerns and found that most were easily addressed. One concern was having a large flag flying over one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, and what kind of issues

Courtesy city of Federal Way that might present in inclement weather. One response would be to fly a smaller flag, or to take the flag down in such circumstances. In the case of needing to fly the flag at half-mast, Salloum discovered that technically, the flag can be lowered its own height, and still be considered at half-mast. Another concern was installing a large pole on 320th Street, and what liability the city could be in if a motorist were to hit the pole. According to Salloum, the projected placement of the flagpole in a large median on 320th would

leave acceptable buffer zones around it and cover the city. Salloum provided a lineitem breakdown of project costs. According to the city’s projections, the flagpole and accessories are expected to cost $8,800; the installation of the pole, along with the needed traffic controls, will be $5,500. An item listed as “lighting systems, including the crossing of South 320th Street” is set to be $15,000, while the mounting brackets and flags for the streetlight poles are anticipated to cost $2,700. Finally, a line item for any

potential re-landscaping of the island was included at $3,000. “I like it very much,” said Councilwoman Dini Duclos. “I like anything better than what we have now coming off I-5 on 320th.” “I do think [the project] will change the look of the community as you’re driving in,” Maloney added. The project joins the growing list of improvements in the city’s downtown core, including the Town Square Park and the Performing Arts and Conference Center.

Public records reveal more in alleged racism at Federal Way school White teacher reprimanded for improperly handling black student BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

A Federal Way Public School investigation revealed a Sacajawea Middle School math teacher inappropriately touched a male student when she sent him to an in-school suspension room last year. This past June, the Mirror reported on an alleged case of racism at the middle school after it came to light that a white teacher allegedly put her hands on a 12-year-old African American male student when he disrupted class in November 2013. The boy’s mother, also a cafeteria worker at the school, told the Mirror that since that incident her son has been the target of retaliation from other teachers, also a form of racism, she said. Gloria Butts filed a complaint with the school district on June 16 addressing the issues. The investigation into her claims, which were submitted to the superintendent, is ongoing. According to public records that the Mirror obtained, Butts filed her first complaint on Nov. 20, 2013 against seventh grade math teacher Jennifer Hooper when she learned the teacher had allegedly “grabbed” her son and “shoved him across the room, into another room and then pushed him into a chair.” The school district immediately launched an investigation and put Hooper on paid administrative leave that day. Hooper filed a report on the student on Oct. 3, 2013 and on Nov. 19, 2013, the day the alleged assault took place, according to a Sacajawea Behavior Intervention Summary. Back in October, she wrote the boy repeatedly disobeyed instructions to work with a specific partner and continued to gravitate to the back of the room where his friends were. “To date he has completed three assignments since the beginning of school and his current grade in class reflects this,” Hooper wrote in the Oct. 3 report. “[His]

hen I was 19 years old and pregnant with my first baby, a kind nurse visited me at my Des Moines home each month. She measured my growing belly, tracked my weight gain, discussed my nutritional needs and answered my questions. She spoke with me about my apprehension as a young, low-income mother, what childbirth would be like and how I could adjust to a new baby. Her help was invaluable. During that time, I was a freshman at Highline College and working full-time as a cashier at a department store, so I qualified for the Women, Infants and Children nutrition program. I received health screening, breastfeeding support and vouchers for nutritious foods, such as milk, peanut butter, cereal and dried beans. Without the help of the King County Public Health’s maternity support services, my son — who is now a Running Start student at Highline College — may not have turned out as healthy as he did. There are many people in Federal Way who also rely on services they receive from the local Public Health Clinic. As the Mirror has reported in recent weeks, the Federal Way clinic, and three others in the area, could be shuttered due to the county’s growing budget deficit. King County and city officials have discussed the numbers, statistics and price tag of $1.1 million annually that is needed in Federal Way alone to keep the clinic here open. But the most important number I see is 13,700 — the number of people who need essential health care services in Federal Way each year and low-income people who could become very sick without them. Some of these people hit the streets in Auburn — where another clinic is set to close — last week to protest the proposed closures. There are many other stories like mine, including mother-of-four Nadia Bucio’s, who stood outside the Auburn clinic trying to make her voice heard. [ more EDITOR, page 7 ]

What is most important to our city leaders? At its last meeting, the City Council, along with Mayor Jim Ferrell’s support, passed a resolution opposing King County’s plans to close Federal Way’s Public Health Center, along with three others. King County plans to balance the budget for the Department of Health by closing Public Health centers in Federal Way, Auburn and White Center, all communities with historically diverse and lowincome populations that need county health services. An additional clinic could also be shuttered in Bothell. With the Federal Way clinic’s closure in January of 2015, maternity support services and infant case management, along with Women, Infants, and Children’s nutrition services and family planning clinical services for low-income families would be eliminated. Approximately 13,700 Federal Way clients would have to find help outside the community. However, getting to another city isn’t easy if you are poor, and recent transit cuts won’t make it any easier. Allowing approximately 15 percent of our

population, particularly women and children, to potentially lose access to necessary services shouldn’t be an acceptable alternative to our city leaders. This action has rekindled the debate of city priorities. Talking to the county executive, as Ferrell is doing, is a start, however over the years the county has tried to get the cities to pick up more and more county services, so this is an area to have some caution. But the mayor’s spokesperson says the city can’t afford to put in any money and said it would be difficult to get support from other suburban cities to oppose the county decision. That is shortsighted. Ferrell may want to remind other mayors that their services could be the ones at risk in the future if the cities don’t stick together now. Health services are a county wide responsibility and people who are least able to defend themselves should not be put at risk. But the city can’t just walk away and say it isn’t [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

The pieces of the controversial High Point puzzle How do you put together a puzzle when three parties are holding the pieces? At a hearing on July 28 at the Federal Way City Hall, we heard from a developer, a group of Federal Way residents and the city of Federal Way. They were meeting to discuss specific points on the proposed High Point development on the old bus barn property located at South 320th Street and 11th Avenue

South. Whether you are for or against this development, let’s take a look at the pieces of the puzzle each party is holding to put together a bigger picture. 1.) The property is just shy of 10 acres and absolutely prime real estate. 2.) The developer wants to put in 15 buildings that include 308 residential units, 517 parking spots and retail. 3.) This property is the last link in the infamous Federal Way “Ring Road.” A little history first, the “Ring Road” proposal has been on the books for upwards of 30 years. The Bus Barn has been there for 50 years. The road is meant to run from Interstate 5 onto 320th westbound, turn south by Red Robin and travel behind The Commons. Cross over Pacific Highway South, turn north onto 11th Street,

continue across 320th Street, through this new development to the street behind Best Buy to 312th Street, turn east onto 312th Street back around to I-5. The city states that their traffic study shows there will be no significant impact but that it was done with the assumption that the “Ring Road” is in place. Wait. What? Even the hearing examiner picked up on that. He asked, “What is the timeline for the ‘Ring Road’ to be built?” The city’s representative stated, “Well, it’s currently on the 20 year plan, but if there is a need, it would get bumped up to the six year plan.” Ah, now there’s the crux. The city wants this high density residential compound to be built in order to show a need for the “Ring Road.” There are a few key points in this picture:

1.) The traffic on 320th Street will become a nightmare, at least long enough to show the city a need to fix it, and then there will be a funding issue and probably more taxes to pay for it. 2.) The neighborhood that shares a fence with the bus barn property has been there for 50 years. It is the only place in Federal Way where the city frame abuts single family homes. The developer has proposed three to six story buildings near their back fences. 3.) A pedestrian gate is proposed to allow the kids to walk through the neighborhood to get to Mirror Lake and Federal Way High School. Those kids will have to cross “Ring Road” to get to the pedestrian gate to walk to school. The city’s position is that it’s up to the school district on how to transport the kiddos.

Really? The city should be helping build up the schools. Work in partnership, help our kids, not just look for a means to an end to build your road. The city just issued a moratorium on new buildings in the city frame but they did not include this part of city frame. Why? I have lived in Federal Way since 1998. I love it here. It’s beautiful; however, there is a tarnish that has come over this city. The citizens do not have a voice in what is happening, specifically, the homeowners in the little neighborhood that will be most affected by these insider deals and political maneuvering. That property should be developed, but in a more productive and positive manner with something that benefits the city, not just the developer, which as I see it, is the only one who will benefit from this proposal.

: Mr. Federal Way, I am outraged that there is a glaring endorsement of Shari Song on the front cover of the Mirror’s Back to School section in the Aug. 15 print edition. If the Mirror is going to fairly cover the 30th Legislative District race, then don’t publish one-sided information and be sure to include both candidates the next time. A: Actually, Mr. Federal Way feels compelled to let you know it was an advertisement and insist you look up the difference between an advertisement and an endorsement. In case you don’t bother with a simple Google search, an advertisement is paid for and reserved ahead of time, while an endorsement is freely given through an editorial board vote. An editorial column is then published, explaining why the Mirror’s editorial board chose that candidate to endorse. Endorsements won’t happen until October. Shari Song paid extra for prime position on the Back to School section cover and was the first to do so. Also,

according to the sales team at the Federal Way Mirror, word around the office is that Mark Miloscia was, in fact, one of the last ones to purchase advertising in the Back to School section. If you have a problem with fairness, please write a letter to Miloscia explaining why it’s important to purchase advertising as soon as possible in your local newspaper. Q: Mr. Federal Way, the Mirror recently included a very nice article about the blueberry farm in Auburn, near Federal Way. Why is the Blueberry Park on 356th Street in Federal Way not maintained? A: Assuming you’re speaking of the Hylebos Blueberry Farm located at 630 SW 356th St., Mr. Federal Way heard from Parks Deputy Director Steve Ikerd that the city doesn’t have the staff or resources to maintain the blueberry plantings. “We mow the grass around the large plantings as we can fit it in but maintenance of the plants and rows has been performed by volunteers and groups,”

Ikerd wrote in an email. “We haven’t had many volunteers lately, [which] is why it is overgrown more than previous years.” Ikerd said while there are a few special interest groups who have tried to adopt the five-acre farm, it hasn’t worked out. The Parks Maintenance and Operations crews also have 30 other parks and two major trails to maintain — 543 developed acres and 551 open space acres. According to the city’s website, the maintenance division is also responsible for City Hall, Steel Lake Annex, Steel Lake Maintenance Facility building and grounds, the Dumas Bay Centre and the Kuntzen Family Theatre. Talk about a full plate. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what’s so difficult about dumping an ice bucket over your head? Enough already with these ice bucket challenges. A: The ice bucket challenge you are referring to is the most recent trend on the Internet but it’s meant for a good cause. The idea is the videos of people getting ice water dumped on their head will become viral with the goal of raising awareness of ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS is a progres-

sive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and can lead to death. At first, Mr. Federal Way thought people dumping water over their heads during a drought to avoid donating to the cause (the undertaking of the challenge) and then calling out others to do the same was really, really stupid. But Mr. Federal Way has since had a change of heart. It’s because the ALS Association started reporting a surge of donations after celebrities such as Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Adam Sandler, Iggy Azalea, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Kerry Washington, to name just a few, joined the bandwagon. On Wednesday, the association reportedly had $31.5 million in donations compared to $1.9 million during the same time period last year, sans ice bucket challenge. Additionally, there’s 637,527 new donors to the association. Mr. Federal Way thinks that’s well worth enduring silly Facebook, Instagram and Twitter videos of people suddenly getting dumped with ice cold water for a few more weeks this summer. Q: Mr. Federal Way, did you do the ice bucket challenge? A: None of your business.

money up to help keep the clinics open while they negotiate with the county for a long-term solution. The city has already demonstrated it is willing to spend money on projects it likes. It can certainly afford to help mothers and children. And as one community member stated, “(The city) has been spending money like a drunken sailor since the first of the year. Cost overruns on the downtown park, more staff, more department directors, pay raises and the new Performing Arts and Conference Center.” At a meeting a few weeks ago a resident asked, “If the city is going to spend $32 million dollars on the Performing Arts and Conference Center for the rich, how much are they going to spend on the poor?” The question hit home

with some who have questioned the city’s priorities. According to the Finance Department, the city spent $2 million on those in need in our community in 2013 and will spend $1.72 million in 2014. City staff correctly point out that the Performing Arts and Conference Center is a one-time project and the annual cost of paying the debt service would “only” be about $600,000 per year. But some of that $600,000 could go a long way toward solving the current $1.15 million dollar problem in health services if it were not already earmarked for the Performing Arts and Conference Center. But the numbers simply underscore the difference. What is most important to our city leaders? Passing a resolution isn’t enough. Maybe the county noticed

that Federal Way and Auburn have new mayors and they may not know how to pull the regional levers of power yet, and White Center has no city government to look out for its citizens. Elected city leaders made a policy choice to support the Performing Arts and Conference Center, along with a new downtown park. And maybe, many years from now, that will prove to be a good decision. But what are they going to do right now about the mothers and children who live right here in this community, that may not be able to afford a bus ticket to Kent, let alone a ticket to the Performing Arts and Conference Center?

the county’s plans to close the clinics during its recent meeting. It’s a great first step and I look forward to watching our elected leaders back that up with action. During that Council meeting, one council member also asked what elected officials should tell residents

if the clinic closes. That’s premature and defeatist. The right question is, what should we do to prevent the closures? For city leaders, I anticipate part of the answer to that will be having conversations with county and neighboring city leaders and residents.

our problem, or we can’t afford it. According to a staff briefing paper, the amount of money saved by closing the Federal Way clinic is $1.15 million. In the county budget, that is a rounding error. It is small. And the $12-15 million total shortfall ought to be manageable as well. These are not new issues and the suburban cities should oppose the cuts as a group and task their collective finance directors to dig into the county budget to identify other options. If the suburban cities, and specifically Federal Way, don’t show leadership, then the county will pass along other services. It’s time for strategic strength not weakness. If necessary, the city of Federal Way could put some

Madi Kat brings cupcakes, custom cakes to Federal Way BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

aving just opened in May, the young owners of Madi Kat Cupcakes are already experiencing success here in Federal Way. Currently operating a small kiosk in The Commons mall near Starbucks, owners Kevin and Kathrynne Clark say the response to their burgeoning business has been enthusiastic. “People are giving us a really good response, better than we ever imagined,” said Kevin Clark. “The biggest thing is, people come in and go ‘Oh, wow, I’m glad you guys are here, there isn’t anything like this in Federal Way.’” The idea for the business came after he was injured working on a construction job in California. Kevin Clark, 21, and Kathrynne Clark, 22, met while down there, and decided that after that work injury, they were “going to do our own thing,” he said. Kathrynne Clark had been working at a custom cake shop in California

Foster Kids Day at Wild Waves Theme Park Many foster children experience a sudden change of homes, which

for some years already, and had gained valuable experience in that time. The pair had some money saved up and used that to start their business without needing to take out any loans, a strategy they hope to continue into the future. Currently, the pair has access to a fully licensed commercial kitchen, which is where their creations take form. Whether it’s the ever-present red velvet cupcake or more complex projects like custom-ordered wedding cakes, the duo is happy to be in Federal Way and have the chance to give back to the community. “Eventually … we’ll be doing a storefront cafe as well with the cake shop in the back, and that offers a bit more to the community as well,” Kevin Clark said. Kathrynne Clark is originally from the south Puget Sound area and attended school in Tacoma while she split time between her dad in Federal Way and her mom in Tacoma. The business

is named in honor of the couple’s daughter Madison. Currently, Madi Kat Cupcakes will take part in the K-9 Karnival this weekend, with plans for delicious treats for both humans and animals.

School district, FWEA reach new contract agreement BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

ederal Way Public Schools and the Federal Way Education Association recently reached a new contract agreement that will be effective through August 31, 2017. The new contract provides some slight pay increases for Federal Way teachers, the first in a number of years since the battle over education funding began when the 2008 economic downturn hit. “We are happy to have reached an agreement that addresses the needs of all parties involved, and we look forward to the start of another great school year in Federal Way,” wrote Sally McLean, interim superintendent, in a press release. According to district spokeswoman Debra Stenberg, the first year of the contract will see a 2.25 percent pay increase for Federal Way teachers, followed by either a 2 percent increase or a “market midpoint”

increase in 2016 and 2017. “In addition to the five paid training days the district already pays over and above what the state provides, in the teachers’ contract we agreed to an additional day of compensation that teachers can use for workload compensation. This brings the pay increase in year one closer to 2.75 percent,” Stenberg noted in an email to the Mirror. “This is paid out of local dollars, not state.” The starting base salary for a first year teacher will now be $40,188, while a teacher with 10 years of experience can expect a base salary of $51,504. Both of those starting salaries reflect greater than a 2.25 percent increase than the amounts in the previous contract, Stenberg added. The association currently has 1,582 members. The district is the largest employer in Federal Way, with nearly 2,700 employees total that serve the district’s 22,000 students. To learn more, visit www.fwps.org. Interested residents may speak during the hearing for or against parts of the budget, which includes the general fund, the transportation vehicle fund, the capital projects fund, the debt service fund and the associated student body fund. The meeting will be held at Federal Way City Hall, 33325 Eighth Ave.

ederal Way middle schoolers Kayla Johnson and Brett Ellingson brought home hardware from the Hershey’s Track and Field Games in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Aug. 2. Johnson took first place in the 9-10 year old girls softball throw, and Ellingson brought home a secondplace finish in the same event on the boys side. Johnson earned her first place finish with a throw of 135.00 just besting the second place finisher’s throw of 133.04. On the boys side, the race was more contested, with Ellingson’s throw of 143-07 falling just short of the winning throw of 146-10. Johnson’s dad, Mike, said his daughter’s performance at the Hershey’s national meet was indicative of the special athletic gifts she’s been able to develop so far in her young life. “Obviously as her dad, I am her biggest fan,” he wrote in an email to the

Kayla Johnson with her first place medal from the Hershey’s National Track Meet earlier this month in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Contributed photo Mirror. “She is a special athlete and a special kid.” He added that as the competition heated up, he started to feel a little worried about his daughter’s chances of succeeding. “One of the girls threw it 133, and for her state record throw, Kayla threw it [approximately] 129. But Kayla got up there, she was one of the last to go, and with her last throw, she

threw it 135, right on the money.” He said he asked his daughter how she managed her personal best throw in the final rounds of a national competition. “She said, ‘Dad, I wanted it really bad,’” he said. Johnson made it to Hershey with the record breaking throw earlier this summer at the state meet. At that meet, she posted a

throw of 128-9, breaking the previous state record that had stood for 12 years. Ellingson made his way to Hershey with a throw at the state meet of 136-06. Johnson’s athletic skills extend beyond just track and field, as her father pointed out in an email to the Mirror. She also plays boys baseball as a pitcher and plays catcher and third base for the Federal

Way Knights organization. She was recently named that team’s Most Valuable Player. Johnson and Ellingson are on that Knights baseball team. Johnson also plays club soccer, where she minds the goal and also plays in the midfield. This year marked the last year that the Hershey’s Track and Field Program was run under that particular name and held at Hershey, Pennsylvania, according to hersheystrackandfield.com. Next year, the program will be operated under the name “Run, Jump and Throw,” with the main event now being shifted to the “U.S. and Canadian National Youth Championships” of which Hershey’s will now be a main sponsor. The shift, according to the website, is so “the program [can] focus on skill development and improvement of fundamentals — running, jumping and throwing, instead of competitive advancement.”

Senior celebrates life with adventure By Raechel Dawson rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

On her 92nd birthday this past July, Monica Mary at Village Green Retirement Center went zip lining. On her 91st birthday, she went skydiving and on her 90th birthday she sailed across the sky in a hot air balloon. “Age is not a criteria for what you can do and what you want to do,” Mary said. For her 93rd birthday, Mary hopes to parasail. “They lift you up and you scoot across the water,” she said, noting she’d also like to go mushroom hunting. Mary’s zeal for an adventurous life stems from her love of books. “My mind to me, a kingdom is,” a poem by Sir Edward Dyer, is written in her high school yearbook and for a good reason. Mary had goals of reading every book in the library but her macular degeneration made it hard to see the tiny text so many books have. Fortunately, Mary was about to get audio books

provided by the Washington Library. “Without them, I would be completely lost,” she said. For two years, Mary sat in her Village Green home and listened to the books. Curious, Mary requested a list of all the books she had read throughout the years. “Most are nonfiction and stories about women and how they conquered sailing the ocean and things like that,” she said. “I thought, you know what, I can do some of those things.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ... [ SENIOR from page 12] World War II. Although she went to junior college to learn typing and shorthand for a job in Washington, D.C. with the Department of Revenue, has married, had children and lived a full life, the one thing she regrets not doing is attending a university and obtaining her bachelor’s degree. When asked what she would have wanted to study, she simply replied, “To be an astronaut. I want to go to the moon.”

Information is available at the Educational Service Center. Sally D. McLean, Superintendent Published in Federal Way Mirror On August 8, August 15 and August 22 FWM 2155 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 orders: 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.

Cemetery Plots

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

www.nw-ads.com 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.

Construction worker injured during police pursuit of stolen car This week’s…

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Car prowled: At 8:25 a.m. on Aug. 17 in the 32000 block of 11th Place S., the victim reported his or her car was parked in a parking lot while the victim went for a walk on the BPA trail. When the victim returned, he or she discovered the passenger side window was broken out and that $50 was taken from inside the vehicle. Shed pushed over: At 10:42 a.m. on Aug. 17 in the 18000 block of Pacific Highway S., unknown suspects pushed over a storage shed belonging to a business. The business estimated that about $1,000 in damage was done to the shed’s structure.

Batteries stolen in attempt at return fraud: At 10:51 a.m. on Aug. 17 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway S., a man and a woman stole approximately $100 in batteries from an Albertson’s store. The duo returned to the man’s mother’s house and asked her to try and return the batteries. The mother refused. The report does not mention if police ever tracked down the duo. Vehicles prowled: At 1:22 p.m. on Aug. 17 in the 1700 block of S. 369th St., two vehicles were prowled while their owners were at Wild Waves. Rocks thrown at apartment units: At 2:11 p.m. on Aug. 17 in the 1800 block of S. 281st St., a resident of an apartment complex reported that unknown suspects threw a rock through her bedroom window.

The juveniles were released to their guardians, while two of the men were taken into

custody on active warrants. Swords discovered near dumpster: At 7:18 p.m. on Aug. 16 in the 34000 block of Second Lane S., a woman reported finding three swords next to the dumpster at her apartment complex. She took possession of the swords so children in the complex didn’t stumble upon them and potentially hurt themselves with them. Police took the swords into custody for destruction. Copper wire stolen: At 8:11 a.m. on Aug. 15 in the 33000 block of 43rd Ave., unknown suspects stole over $1,000 worth of copper wiring from a house currently undergoing renovation.

Multnomah County Judge Thomas M. Ryan allowed the rescheduling to give both parties enough time to prepare for the hearing. Moore, 50, was convicted of scheming with a tire company employee in Portland, Ore. and stealing $150,000 worth of tires in 2011. The judge allowed Moore to return back to Federal Way, pending his sentencing. Moore could face up to 10 years in prison.

Public Health closes tamales food vendor FROM STAFF REPORTS

A Federal Way tamales vendor located at South 288th and Pacific Highway South was closed by Public Health officials on Aug. 13 due to lack of a valid food business permit. Public Health spokesman Keith Seinfeld said the woman selling tamales was selling them out of an ice chest. Also, the business

The Grant County Sheriff ’s Motor Traffic Unit said drinking and driving played a role in the crash, in addition to driving too fast. “We’re looking at it as a DUI but nobody has been charged at this time,” said Kyle Foreman, the Grant County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman, noting the investigation is ongoing.

didn’t have a name. “It’s a story of a woman who was trying to make a few extra bucks, tried to sell some tamales by the side of the road and got busted for it,” Seinfeld said. The health inspector found the woman selling the homemade tamales at a little table next to a pickup truck in an empty lot and told her she couldn’t sell food to the public without a food permit, to which she complied. The vendor has been instructed on how to obtain a valid permit, officials said.

At 6:03 p.m. on Aug. 15 in the 300 block of S. 325th St., officers attempted to detain a known stolen vehicle. At one point in the pursuit, police deployed spike strips. The suspect vehicle was able to bypass

these, but in doing so, injured a construction worker that was in the general vicinity of the chase. The suspect vehicle was eventually detained by using a precision immobilization technique.

ment. The report states she did not file a police report sooner because she thought the district would file the alleged assault charges. Butts also said she could see fingernail marks on her son the day the incident occurred. The responding officer contacted the school’s principal and learned they had not filed assault charges because,

although they knew the boy was grabbed and pushed into a classroom, he allegedly did not sustain injuries nor did he complain of any pain. “Upon reviewing [the report] and Landis’s investigation, I consulted with the city prosecutor,” the officer wrote in the police report. “Upon further discussion, the prosecutor’s office advised the assault charges will not be filed.”

However, on June 16, days before school was let out for the summer, Butts filed another complaint against a Sacajawea teacher, the assistant principal and the principal. In the complaint she stated her son was removed from class on June 9 for not complying with the dress code and had been asked to change but when he went back to class the teacher sent

him out again because he changed too fast. That same day, she said her son was singled out when he was made to take his exam in the library while the other students stayed in class. On June 11, a teacher removed her son from class because he wasn’t following the dress code. After meeting with the teacher and administration, Butts recounts in her com-

Snohomish County. “The average parking demand established from both the [Institute of Transportation Engineers] and the comparable parking site study was well below the 503 parking stalls proposed by the applicant,” the decision states. “However, the city rejected the applicants reliance upon average numbers and insisted required parking demand be based upon the much more conservative 85th percentile of parking demand.” Residents still fear that with the open pedestrian access to their neighborhood, apartment tenants will park along the neighborhood streets and simply walk over if they can’t find parking. Boehm-Brady said it’s unlikely she and her fellow appellants will appeal the hearing examiner’s decision because the City Council ruled earlier this year that such appeals are to be heard in Superior Court instead of with the Council and they can’t afford it. “If the deck wasn’t stacked against us then we would appeal the decision,” she said. “… It feels like they threw a dog a bone. They threw us a tiny little bone that’s already chewed up.” Chief of Staff Brian Wilson said the reason the City Council did this is because it prevented Council members from taking a position, talking to residents and having input on issues such as this. Wilson said if an appeal to a hearing examiner’s decision goes directly to Superior Court, it frees up the Council so that they don’t have a quasi-judicial role. “There’s certainly a lot of emotion with neighbors pertaining to this project and how it moves forward but there’s also a group of people within the city that think this is a good project,” Wilson said. “It fits the Comprehensive Plan, it’s an enhancement and improvement in the area than what’s currently there.” The next steps for the developer, if there are no further appeals, will be to submit the engineering report and the terms of the cleanup plan, which is anticipated to be complete in the coming months.

plaint that she believed the staff only use the dress code to target children. “On June 11, another student that was white had on a brown t-shirt under his blue polo shirt,” she wrote. “[A staff member] stated if he buttons it up, then he is not out of uniform. Now the policy changes when applied to white students.” A week prior to that incident, Butts said a girl hit

the decision states. But several of the appellants’ assertions were brushed aside. The residents want the proposed pedestrian access point closed off because they say it will encourage foot traffic through the neighborhood and detract from their neighborhood character. While Olbrechts saw some merit in that claim, he said the connection would facilitate a safer walking route for children to and from school. “On balance, the safety benefits of the required connection outweigh the minor adverse impacts associated with the proposal and the condition to require the connection will be kept in place,” the decision stated. Several appellants testified on the overall scale of the project, stating that the bulk and scale of the buildings is not compatible with their neighborhood and the roads could not serve the drivers, pedestrians and tenants expected to arrive once it’s finished. Nevertheless, the city zoned this property for this type of use before the developer proposed the project. Once the City Council enacts those policy choices into law, state law is clear that those choices cannot be revisited during permit review, Olbrechts noted. “This was never the intent of the city of Federal Way to demolish this neighborhood, which is what this development will do,” Boehm-Brady said. “I thought when I moved here it seemed to me it had great zoning and attractive areas … I hate to be so negative but we did a lot of work. We really tried.” Another significant area of concern was whether there would be enough parking for those who live at the apartments and frequent the businesses proposed for the ground floor. The previous director of the Community Development department authorized a reduction from 586 parking stalls to 517 after the developer asked for 503. The developer prepared a parking study showing the parking demand created by nine multi-family sites in King County and

her son and he hit her back but only he was removed from the classroom. And a month-and-a-half prior to that, staff allegedly took her son’s phone away even though “there were two white females, as [her son] stated, on their phone all the time” and nothing happened to them. “The district is very unkind to minority children in all aspects,” she wrote. “I can honestly say that there is a lot of racial discrimination that has played a role in the education of my son.

residents say. The project will also include 27,337 square feet of commercial and amenity space with 517 parking spots. The property is currently owned by Federal Way Public Schools and was once a transportation center for school buses. Federal Way resident Leah Boehm-Brady filed an appeal on May 1 on the city’s environmental threshold determination and an appeal on June 19 on the land-use decision for the High Point project. Ultimately, appellants wanted the Department of Ecology to take the lead on the cleanup action plan so that they could include a public participation plan. Many worried the current plan failed to identify all of the contaminants, which include benzene, toulene, ethyl benzene and xylene and that the developer has too much self-interest to objectively do its own cleanup plan. Because the appellants’ expert witness Greg Wingard was unable to attend the hearing, his testimony was thrown out and deemed hearsay. Wingard works with King County Councilman Larry Phillips and alleged the contamination is likely worse than the initial data. However, Olbrechts said “the appellants do raise a troubling issue regarding the potential for undiscovered contaminants located below impervious surfaces.” “When the examiner asked the applicant’s expert Thomas Morin about this issue, he simply responded that it was very unlikely that any additional contaminants would be discovered,” the decision states. “This is not very reassuring testimony.” Because of this, the hearing examiner ruled the city’s third party reviewer Jon Sondergaard’s recommendation report should be added as an additional SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) mitigated measure. Additionally, it was ruled the Department of Ecology’s oversight would be no more intense than a third party reviewer and requesting a public participation plan was outside of the SEPA appeal’s criteria. “The only thing I can be pleased with is

that we were able to save part of the hedge, part of the buffer,” said Boehm-Brady. Olbrechts ruled in favor of the 50-plus appellants in their assertion that the developer keep the trees between the proposed project and the neighborhood to the north as a way to retain some privacy. The hearing examiner described this as the most “significant and complicated issue” of the application because the city has detailed tree retention and landscaping requirements. The developer was originally allowed to remove trees on the property as long as he replanted some along the property line. “Given the city’s Comprehensive Plan policies that strongly encourage the protection of the city’s neighborhoods, it is reasonable to conclude that the City Council did not intend its regulations to preclude a vegetative buffer retention requirement,” the decision states. “… Planting new 16-25 foot trees cannot be reasonably required of an applicant. Retaining existing trees of that height, however, is eminently reasonable. The conditions of approval require retention of the laurel trees within the 11.25 to 15 foot buffers located along the northern property line.” Boehm-Brady said many of her neighbors whose houses abut the property are pleased. “The people who back up to it are very grateful for the little bit that they’ll have,” she said. “Their property values would have been stripped.” The arborist’s report indicated 23 trees behind the neighbor’s property were either dead, dying or in poor condition and needed to be removed for safety reasons. However, the report didn’t state why those specific trees were selected for testing or if others were also involved in the evaluation. The appellants also had a bonsai artist inspect a portion of the vegetative buffer, who found the cherry laurels to be healthy. “The arborist’s comments about the laurel plants creating an ‘impenetrable’ visual barrier with the majority of the plants being 16-25 feet tall, establishes the significance of these laurel plants as a visual buffer to the applicant’s multistory buildings to the south,”

Internships: The stepping stone to a successful career I mentor them. When given that opportunity, interns gain valuable time and experience in a field of interest, and the employer benefits from having extra help with his/her business. It is a mutually beneficial relationship that can increase the prosperity of our local economy and prepare the way for the next generation of young professionals who will inherit it. Consider my story. I first met Federal Way traffic attorney Herman C. Brewer IV when I was in the Advancing Leadership Youth program in 2012. Advancing Leadership Youth is a program that focuses on developing and equipping young leaders to be successful professionally and be effective leaders in the community. When we met during a combined program day with the adult class, I told him I wanted to run my own business and at some point pursue a career as a lawyer. He gave me some excellent advice about things I could do that would help me achieve my goals. Over the course of the next two years we emailed back and forth periodically, he answered my questions and recommended some reading material that helped further my understanding of how the legal system worked. Then, just this last spring as I was finishing up my first year of college at Western Washington University I emailed him and asked if there was a way I could help out in his office this summer. He ran me through an interview and application process that he told me was on par with any law firm in the country, and welcomed me in as an intern. During my time at his office I have been filing legal documents with the court system, working with clients, networking with other professionals in the community, attending court hearings, Jordan Crahan

COMMENTARY

n the time following my graduation from Decatur High School in 2013, my eyes have been opened to this unexpected ideal of what college is like today. In one word I could describe it — competitive. At Decatur I was an active participant in extracurricular activities and focused on my studies. I thought I was set. However, what I’ve seen in my first year of college at Western Washington University is that it simply isn’t that easy. The competition to get into the great schools and land desirable jobs is increasing, and young adults are facing more pressure than ever before to differentiate themselves from the competition and beef up their resumes. Now it is the norm to join multiple clubs, volunteer, work a job and do it all while excelling in academics. While all those are good things, and things that are worth doing, people often miss out on the experience that could differentiate them the most from their competition and propel them into a successful career that they want. Internships, according to research conducted by U.S. News and World Reports (2010), are the No. 1 thing that can make a young adult stand out from the rest. University officials and employers almost universally maintain that partaking in an internship — or several, which sets a student apart from his or her peers even more — before graduation is integral to finding meaningful employment in today’s seemingly impenetrable job market. The value of internships cannot be oversold, and we as a community need to make sure that we are fostering an environment where young people are empowered to seek out internships and business professionals are eager to hire, train and

developing a marketing plan, and learning the ins and outs of running a small business. These experiences have been incredibly valuable for me, and I am excited to see where my experiences here will lead me next. My advice for the young people in this community is to seek out professionals who work in areas that you find interesting. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share and the time you spend with them could be exactly what you need to take that next step — be it furthering your education or competing in the job market of your dreams. I would encourage the business professionals in Federal Way to see that our community is full of talented and driven individuals who want to work for you. They want to learn from you and help your business succeed. Any opportunity you can provide to further someone’s pursuit of their goals is an opportunity that can secure their future, and ensure this community continues to grow and prosper. To those of you reading this that already provide opportunities for interns, I want to thank you for your investment in the people of this community. To those of you that do not, I would encourage you to look into it. The positive impact for your business and the people you mentor is something that is hard to imagine unless you experience it. This community has incredible potential in its youth and it also has business leaders with years of experience and advice to share. Let’s ensure the future of our community by connecting those groups.

Help tally state’s cyclists and walkers this fall FROM STAFF REPORTS

During a three-day survey last year, volunteers counted nearly 66,000 bicyclists and pedestri-

ans across Washington. As another survey cycle approaches, about 400 volunteers will be called upon again this fall to tally the number of people who ride a bike or walk to their destinations. For the seventh annual survey, WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting volunteers and organizations, such as Feet First and Washington Bikes to help count the people they see bicycling and walking along paths, bike lanes, sidewalks and other facilities Tuesday, Sept. 30, through Thursday, Oct. 2. Counts will be taken at assigned locations in nearly 40 cities throughout the state, including Federal Way. For more information, call 206-861-9890.
