You’ve Gotten Rid of Your Winter Coat … Now It’s Time for Your Dog to Get Rid of His!

2010 & 2011

Federal Way has produced a TV commercial aimed at bringing more businesses to the city.

The 30-second advertisement features the slogan “Think smart. Move fast. Think Federal Way.” It begins airing today on ESPN, Fox News and CNBC.

Recruited as pitchmen for the

city were Wild Waves Theme Park CEO Jeff Stock and former Seattle Sounders soccer pro Lamar Neagle, who at-tended Thomas Jefferson High School. Stock is a former Seattle Sounders player, and Neagle has since been traded to the Montreal Impact.

The commercial’s main goal is to help fill the Federal Way’s vacant

commercial real estate. Nearly 750,000 square feet of office space

(30 percent) sits empty.“We’re scoring big in Fed-

eral Way,” Stock says in the commercial, which praises the city for lower business costs and positive business

environment. In the ad, Stock and Neagle exchange friendly

banter about their age differences — and their career success.

“The genesis of all of this is related to bringing businesses to town,” said Patrick Doherty, the city’s director of economic develop-ment, in a December 2011 report.

The commercial was filmed in December 2011 at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila where the Sounders train. The project cost about $10,000.

With gun sales around the country at an all-time high — and with Federal Way Police Department Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter one of the final five contestants on The History Channel’s shooting competition show “Top Shot” — it seems as though the time is ripe for a firearm range to be built in Federal Way.

Local entrepreneur Robert Piel, who’s lived in Federal Way since 1996, is cautiously optimistic that he’ll be able to provide the range for local shooters.

“I hope it works out, but I can’t promise anything,” Piel said. “I’m ready to go. We just need a building.”

Piel said he envisions a facility that would be approximately 20,000 square feet. He hopes to include three classrooms for instruction, two “shop” areas for buying and selling firearms, and an area for a

metalsmith to make parts.He’s hoping to have 16

lanes for firearms, which would make it one of the largest shooting ranges in the state. Piel also hopes to welcome non-firearm weapons to the facility.

“We’re trying to offer some different aspects to a range that hasn’t been done in the past. We’re hoping to have five archery ranges for people who want to practice with their arrows. They’ll have retrievable targets,” he said.

The name of the pro-posed range has already been determined: Eco Fam-ily Range, LLC. Piel said he’s gathered a mountain of permits already, includ-ing seven federal firearm licenses and 10 others from local, state and federal agencies.

The lack of a range in Federal Way has led lo-cal shooters far afield to practice their craft. For Piel, a retired police officer who

Federal Way resident Otis Clark, age 109, is the world’s oldest traveling evangelist. This week, a Pentecostal Christian church leader from Nigeria visited Clark to discuss a revival in Africa slated for January. The event is expected to draw one million people, according to the Rev. Mosy U. Madugba, who said Clark’s presence “will kickstart a wave of revival across the continent of Africa.” Clark was born Feb. 13, 1903, and is considered a key Pentecostal figure.

The city and Federal Way Public Schools are join-ing forces in the name of salmon.

Storming the Sound with Salmon is aimed at enhanc-ing science education and environmental awareness.

Eleven schools in Federal Way will feature the pro-gram by 2013. Federal Way hopes to create a model for other schools across the region and state. Cities such as Gig Harbor, Brier, Marysville and Puyallup have already shown an interest in Federal Way’s template.

One of the program’s goals is to emphasize stormwater education and its role in the environment — including stormwater’s

effects on the health of Puget Sound, which is the lifeblood of the state’s economy. A $73,000 grant from the Department of Ecology will help develop the curriculum and train teachers.

The salmon project is a hands-on method for fos-tering environmental stew-ardship among students. On April 23, more than 100 students from Panther Lake and Camelot elementary schools released baby coho

salmon into Hylebos Creek. Standing in 18 inches

of water in the muddy creek, Federal Way surface water manager William Appleton and Ken Miller of the public works depart-ment released the salmon fry from their temporary plastic cups. Students had fun naming their salmon while watching from the safety of the boardwalk bridge at West Hylebos Wetlands Park. Dozens of juvenile salmon with names like Jack, Superman and Weirdo will begin their new lives in the Federal Way creek where they will grow, spawn and die.

Aside from the salmon release, students learned about the life cycle of salmon through an interac-tive game. The students also got to see — and smell — a dead dissected coho salmon. Across the park, students planted cedar trees.

The salmon released on Monday were raised in a giant water tank at Federal Way City Hall as part of the Salmon at City Hall program, which began in 2011. The City Hall project led to Storming the Sound with Salmon.

Eventually, Federal Way students will raise their own salmon hatchlings. Federal Way school officials say the Storming the Sound with Salmon program suits the district’s science learning standards.

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.

To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning � rm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new of� ce and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-ef� cient of� ce building in the Paci� c Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certi� cation and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and of� ces — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed.

Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

School district needs long-term bonds

Not only does the public want and deserve more information before they are asked to vote on funding for a replacement high school, but Federal Way Public Schools need to look at long-term bond funding, not a short-term levy.

Funding for long-life facilities like schools are normally funded by long-term bonds of 20 years or more. Now is a particularly good time to go to the bond market,

given the historic low interest rates.

The long-term bonds are a more equitable way to spread the cost to the taxpayers over the longer term while reducing the annual cost now. Reducing annual costs will make voting yes more palatable.

Who is providing FWPS capital funding advice? Why aren’t long-term bonds being proposed?J. Herold, Federal Way

South King Fire levy failure: The minority has spoken for us all

The South King Fire and Res-cue Levy did not pass. With 59 percent of our community voting in favor of it, it failed. In any other election, a 19-point margin would be a landslide victory. Here, we call it a “loss.” The minority has spoken. Something’s wrong.

In a country that champions representative government and “one person, one vote,” we have somehow managed to enfran-chise a minority to speak for the majority.

The majority has said that we should resource SKFR and enable them to do the job with which they have been entrusted. The majority has affirmed their per-formance and appreciated their sacrifices to ensure our safety. But

the minority has spoken. Unreal.Because SKFR is committed

as an organization to protect and improve our quality of life, they will now endeavor to do more with less. The impacts of this vote may not be felt for a year or two, but they will be felt. Education programs have already been cut. Response times will go up. But more importantly, we have said to the men and women who serve us faithfully, “We aren’t behind you.” What does that do to department morale?

Jim Ferrell has been one of the most visible and intriguing public officials in Federal Way for over a decade.

Like most people, he has many sides that contain different and sometimes competing thoughts and goals. It was that inner conflict over public policy, and his own future, that likely led Fer-rell to officially switch to the Democrat Party this month.

It is a switch that could dramatically alter local politics.

Ferrell brings the intelligence and preparation to the public debate that you would expect from a prosecuting attorney. His skill was particularly evident in leading the questioning of Sound Transit staff on light rail. Ferrell can also be occasionally confounding to his peers — and those that lean toward the comfort of predict-able stability — with his Huey Long populist streak that has sought to remake city govern-ment and suggests an ambition beyond his membership on the Federal Way City Council. This is most recently evident in his Quixote tilt-ing of the windmills over term limits.

The former University of Washington football player can be bold and assertive as he was in leading the effort to change the form of city government from a city manager system to one led by a strong mayor.

He can also be surprisingly cautious, as he was when he ran for mayor against Skip Priest. Even though Ferrell felt the city needed a more active leadership model than Priest’s status quo style, he never really drew the hard stark lines of difference that are part of today’s political climate. This might have made the difference in the race. Ferrell and Priest came from the same

party, had many of the same friends and sup-porters, and those relationships appear to have weighed heavily on the strategy Ferrell chose.

Even in his new role as deputy mayor with a ready-made pulpit, his policy disagreements with the Priest administration — and there are several — have been low key, understated and even hesitant.

Ferrell started his political career at a young age by serving as a White House intern. He earned his political stripes

as a local precinct officer and as a county party vice-chairman. He was a candidate for appoint-ment to a vacant state Senate seat, and later ran for the state Legislature. He attended national conventions and considered running for Con-gress. He did this all as a Republican.

But last week, it all changed as Ferrell acted on an emotional pull some had seen unfolding for more than a year. He resigned from the Re-publican Party and became a Democrat. Switch-ing parties isn’t as uncommon as it once was and might have been treated with a shoulder shrug if it involved most other members of local non-partisan city councils. But Ferrell isn’t just another office holder. He has been elected to the city council three times, and is the second high-est ranking official in one of the largest cities in King County. Jim Ferrell is perceived by many to have ambitions that far exceed the Federal Way city limits.

In switching parties, Ferrell was moving to resolve the inner conflicts he felt in how Repub-licans and Democrats approached our na-tion’s needs in energy, the environment, global climate change and women’s rights.

Do you dread talking to teens about puberty?

Many parents dread talk-ing to their children about the puberty part of growing up.

Perhaps it’s because we remember so fondly the rapid, strange and sometimes un-wanted changes in our bodies. Or maybe it’s remembering the awkwardness involved in navigating increasingly complex social situations, the pressure to be a certain way, the absolute certainty no one else felt the way we did and the conviction that everyone was staring at us.

How do you, as a parent, prepare your child for all that in a loving, positive way?

Enter Great Conversations. Since 1988, founder Julie Metzger has been helping Seattle area parents navigate the murky waters of body changes and emotional shifts with their 10-12 year-old girls. Her business partner, Rob Lehman, MD, heads up the program for boys and their dads.

Julie, Rob and their faculty (which I’ve recently been invited to join) help normalize the enor-mous changes that going through puberty brings to young people, their parents and families. They manage to do this with an informative, warm, humorous program that leaves parents and chil-dren feeling normal, listened to, and more often than not, laughing. Their programs also model the importance of parents, guardians and children talking together about these important topics, and open the door for future conversations.

This spring, their signature program, “For Girls Only: A Heart to Heart Talk about Growing Up,” is coming to Federal Way.

“Our primary goal is to provide important information helpful to understanding the experi-ence of adolescence in a fun and engaging format with parents and youth,” says Metzger.

“We believe that equipping families with the resources and tools they need to engage in conver-sations together will strengthen communication, provide a base of important health information for decision making, and encourage healthy relationships.”

The two-part class is recommended for girls ages 10-12 along with a parent or trusted adult. The first class covers puberty changes, what girls experience during puberty, practical ideas and problem-solving common concerns of puberty, and tips on staying close through healthy commu-nication in families.

Class two, which happens about a week later, covers social, emotional and cognitive changes of puberty, how boys experience puberty, how babies are made, decision-making, relationships with friends and peers, and finding trusted resources to answer questions on growing up.

In Republican politics, the moderate view has been drowned out by trite conserva-tive slogans, leav-ing little ground for compromise and unity Ferrell felt necessary.

When Ferrell was young, his father died, and government sup-port made a difference in his family’s ability to manage. Programs that Republicans now want to end or alter had benefited his family, and him, and he felt he could help others as well. This put a strain on his relationship with the party. Ferrell feels like his party has left him, more than he left the party. He has found himself more in line with Democratic viewpoints.

The reaction from local Re-publicans was mixed. Anger, betrayal, shock, disbelief and disappointment were common terms of comment. But others were more circumspect and felt Ferrell had made a deci-sion based on principle. Still, others were suspicious. One

high ranking Republican, who noted he personally likes and respects Ferrell, said he “was disappointed, but it had all the markings” of a decision that

would benefit Ferrell politically. Some Dem-ocrats were pleased, others wary.

There appears to be an element of truth in the view that this move was to some degree considered in the bigger picture of

Ferrell’s political career, even though it is not linked to any immediate goal.

His political metamorpho-sis now complete and behind him, Ferrell can choose a path based on a new reality that provides different future options. By making the deci-sion now, Ferrell somewhat reduces, but doesn’t eliminate, the “political motivation” charge in any future run for office.

Though rarely coy, Ferrell wouldn’t confirm any specific game plan, but others have openly speculated about his options:

• Another run for mayor? This time he wouldn’t have to split Republican voters with Priest and could pick up Democratic voters.

• A run for Congress in the new strongly Democratic dis-trict if Democratic incumbent Adam Smith were to retire or join President Obama’s cabinet in a second term.

• Or what if State Sen. Tracey Eide decides not to run in two years? That could be a possibility.

All three, of course, have notable hurdles to surmount. Or Ferrell could be thinking of something else.

No matter what direction Ferrell chooses, he has altered local politics. Whether that is good, or whether it hurts or helps him, only time will tell.

At the beginning of the year, Jim Ferrell was predicted to be one of Federal Way’s 2012 key newsmakers. What hap-pens next may be even more newsworthy.

I will never vote for Ferrell again

It was interesting to read the column by Federal Way City Councilman Jim Ferrell in The Mirror (April 20). He gave us the news that he is switching from the Republican Party to the Democrat Party.

He also tried to tell us why he is making this switch. Frankly, I think his reasoning is a bit fuzzy. He made a couple of critical comments about the Re-publican Party, but he had no comments about what was so much better in the Democrat Party. I wonder if there might not be some hidden reason that he is afraid to tell us about.

It seems his major concern is the position of

the Republican Party on the issue of environment. He also complains that the “hard right” is influencing the party. Has he not heard that Mitt Romney will be the Republican presiden-tial candidate and he is certainly not “hard right.” Has he not heard that the “hard left” has taken over the Democratic Party? Has he not heard that this “hard left” now controls the White House? Has he not heard that this “hard left” is making shambles out of our Constitution?

Several years ago, I wrote a letter titled “The Day I Became a Republican.” On that day, I was 12 years old. I am now 90. In all those 78 years, there were many times that I was disappoint-ed in the Republican Party, but there never was a time when Democrats presented a choice so much better that I would want to change par-ties. For me the choice be-tween parties is simple. The Republican Party stands for capitalism. The Democratic Party stands for socialism. I prefer capitalism.

I am glad that Jim Ferrell wrote that column. Now I know that I will never, ever vote for him again.Leo Thoennes, Federal Way

FW Symphony beats Seattle’s

I’m no music critic, but have pretty good knowl-edge of what’s good and bad, and the Federal Way Symphony’s performance of Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony on April 1 was just that: Ti-tan. Interestingly, I attended the Seattle Symphony’s performance of the same piece a week later, April 7 at Benaroya Hall. Compar-ing orchestras probably is not fair either, but I have to admit I enjoyed the Federal Way performance more than Seattle’s, principally because the Federal Way orchestra played with soul, real feeling — while, as good they are, I had the feeling that to the Seattle players, it was another day at the office.

When I first read the Federal Way ensemble was to perform the “Titan,” I was a bit skeptical that a community orchestra could do it justice. It’s a gigantic and complex composition requiring a large orchestra. Justice they did. While

Maestro Brian Davenport may have imported a few key players and tweaked the score a bit to accommodate that to which he had to work, the overall effect was terrific. I particularly was impressed with the French horn section (all eight of them). As a former horn player, I know how difficult some of the passages are, and your guys and gals were every bit as equal to Seattle’s.

Even more impressive was the work of Maestro Brian Davenport, who conducted the entire sym-phony without a score — an incredible feat, something Gerard Schwarz, the Seattle Orchestra Laureate

Conductor, chose not to do. Bravo, Brian. Not to nitpick, but I wish Davenport had chosen not to interrupt the mood by splitting the four movements with an intermission, but that is a relative minor infraction.

As I was leaving St. Luke’s church, I thanked a passing orchestra member for the performance. She turned and said with feeling, “It’s a beautiful piece,” which indeed it is, but seldom ex-pressed by typical orchestra professionals. But then the Federal Way Symphony is not typical.

Your community de-serves a venue fitting a fine orchestra.George Krusz, Olympia

Kent police officer shoots Federal Way suspectFrom staFF reports

A 46-year-old Kent Police officer shot and wounded a 35-year-old Federal Way man after responding to a report of a man in a stolen car at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Arbor Chase Apartments, 1615 W. Smith St. The driver started to leave the area and was confronted by an officer, ac-cording to a Kent Police media release. At that time the officer attempted to stop the man and shots were fired by the officer.

“He was shot once in each leg,” said Stan McCall, spokesman for Federal Way Police, which has taken over the shooting inves-

tigation since the incident involved a Kent officer. Paramedics transported the man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was treated for a broken leg but is expected to recover, McCall said.

After the officer fired shots, the man drove away and crashed into an occupied car near the apartments. The two people in that car were treated and released at a local hospital. The driver then headed about 1 mile north and abandoned the vehicle behind a warehouse in North Kent. Officers found the man and took him into custody.

A records check showed the man has felony warrants for two counts of posses-sion of a stolen vehicle. McCall said the man is under guard at the hospital by sher-iff ’s deputies because of the warrants.

“Best thing I’ve ever done for

myself.”q Debbie Charlotte, North Carolina

By GreG AllmAin

gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Saghalie Middle School is transitioning from a traditional middle school to a Math and Science Preparatory Academy. For 2011-12, the first phase of this transition was rolled out. According to Saghalie administrators and staff, it’s been a success so far.

“For the 2011 and 2012 school year, we started our fist cohort of students, with 150 students coming into the academy in the sixth and seventh grades, and that reflected probably a third of our student popula-tion in the building,” said Saghalie principal Laura Davis-Brown, during the Federal Way School Board meeting on April 24.

Davis-Brown said seven teachers were brought in for this new program, with an aim at blending subject ar-eas like humanities, science, engineering and technology into a comprehensive expe-rience for the students.

“The students follow an integrated standards basis, using those standards from multiple disciplines,” Davis-Brown said. “The kids have a way of taking their learn-ing, and demonstrating it in an authentic way, and making sure they’re able to apply the learning they have within all of the core content.”

A number of the staff in-volved with this transition were present, chief among them Stephanie Haegele and Anna Knuth. Haegele is the lead for the project on the humanities side of things, while Knuth is the lead on the project for the

science/math/engineering portion of the program.

Knuth shared the team’s mission statement for Sa-ghalie, which is a recogni-tion of the importance of joining the humanities with the sciences.

“We exist to connect our students to pathways that advance technology, engineering and math-

ematics, using effective reading, writing and

communication skills,” Knuth said. “What does that look like at Sagha-

lie? We decided we really wanted to build

a community at Saghalie. Inquiry based. Everything we do in class, we strive to lean toward inquiry, and student-centered. What do the kids want to do, and how does that connect to their learning targets?”

Some of the projects that the students at Saghalie have participated in this year as part of this shift of focus include projects where students studied and presented possible solutions for climate change. Other projects included hav-ing students study health epidemics of the past and today and how those affect society and how science and technology could pos-sibly combat them going into the future. They also participated in projects studying the health of the Puget Sound.

For next year, the pro-gram is set to expand to all of the sixth grade students at Saghalie. A $10,000 grant from the non-profit Wash-ington STEM will help expand the program.

“Our academy is really going to take on new forms and shapes,” said Haegele.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...

Ada Francis has been an active, independent person, enjoying life and her 11 great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, in February 2012, Francis was hospitalized for congestive heart failure, and suddenly found herself totally dependent on others to care for her. Prior to returning home, Francis selected Garden Terrace of Federal Way for further nursing care and physical rehabilitation.

In the beginning, the list of physical limitations seemed daunting for Francis. The need for oxygen to stand for even 10 seconds made her feel debilitated. Her inability to move out of bed without using a sliding board or

sta� help was discouraging for this independent lady. With a weakened heart, progress was slow, but with her tenacity there was

no letting up on her goals. Standing upright for � ve minutes without taking a break, getting in and out of bed by herself, walking 15 feet with a walker, putting her socks on, all done without the aid of oxygen, were milestones she joyfully celebrated.

Francis wishes to thank the nursing and therapy sta� for all their help and never-ending encouragement. Returning home as an independent woman just in time to celebrate her 83rd birthday with her family meant everything.

Camelot Elementary wins Green Ribbon awardBy GREG ALLMAIN

gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

Federal Way’s own Camelot Elementary School was named as one of four winners from Washington for the U.S. Depart-ment of Education’s Green Ribbon Schools Award. The award recognizes “schools that excel in the areas of environmental impact and energy efficiency, healthy school envi-ronments, and environmental and sustain-ability education.”

Camelot was joined by Tahoma Junior High School, the Northshore Second-ary Academy for Success, and Redmond’s Overlake School. They were the only four in the state to be nominated. 78 schools from 29 states received a Green Ribbon Award from the Department of Education.

“Science and environmental education play a central role in providing children with a well-rounded education that prepares them for jobs in the future,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Dun-can. “Green Ribbon Schools demonstrate compelling examples of ways schools can

expand their coursework while also helping children build real worked skill sets, cut school costs, and provide healthy learning environments.”

The Green Ribbon Award is based on three “pillars.” The first looks at whether a school has an “net zero environmental impact,” which deals with a school’s efforts to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, reduce waste production, and find alternative forms of transportation for the school. The second pillar is focused on improving the health and performance of students and staff, which includes an “integrated school environment health program” and having “high standards of nutrition, fitness and quantity of quality outdoor time.” The final pillar is aimed at making sure all of the students in a school are literate in the environment and the ideas of sustainability. This pillar is aimed at making sure a school’s curriculum is proficient in a number of areas regarding environmental education.

Nancy Sutley, chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, says these schools are leading the way in educating students and staff on environ-mental conservation and preservation.

Federal Way preacher Otis Clark, the world’s oldest traveling evangelist at age 109, has been tapped to lead a revival that could transform Pentecostal Christianity across Africa.

The globetrotting bishop was visited earlier this week by the Rev. Mosy U. Madugba, a Nigerian church leader and founder of Global Harvest Missions. Madugba invited Clark to speak at a revival this January in Lagos, Nigeria, in front of 10,000 church leaders from across Africa. It is possible that 1 million or more church adherents will gather to see Clark, Madugba said — and Pen-tecostalism may never be the same in Africa.

“It will kickstart a wave of revival across the continent of Africa,” Madugba said, noting that the heads of Af-rica’s Pentecostal churches all want to meet Bishop Clark. “I was ready to make any sacrifice to come see him and discuss this with him.”

Clark is seen by many as the modern spiritual leader for Pentecostalism. He is also a living witness of the denomination’s roots, which date back to the early 1900s in Los Angeles with the Azusa Street Revival. This revival, led by African American preacher William J. Seymour, is credited as the main catalyst for the Pentecostal movement.

Clark converted to Chris-

tianity at age 25 while in a Los Angeles jail for selling bootleg whiskey during the Prohibition era.

While in Los Angeles, Clark was heavily involved in the Azusa Street Mission and the first Pentecostal church in America. He was later given power of attor-ney to the Azusa mission, and worked to keep it open after Seymour died.

Clark said he looks for-ward to the Africa revival this January, which will take place shortly before his 110th birthday.

“I just want to wait and see how it works out,” Clark said of the revival’s poten-tial impact. “I am blessed to see young folks taking over (Pentecostalism).”

Nearly 11 percent of Africa’s population of more than 1 billion identifies as Pentecostal, according to a report by Glopent, a research firm on global Pentecostalism. The Hart-ford Institute for Religious Research estimates a world-wide Pentecostal following of 500 million.Healthy and well

Otis Clark was born Feb. 13, 1903, in pre-statehood Oklahoma. He left Oklaho-ma after enduring the 1921 race riot in Tulsa, consid-ered the worst race riot in U.S. history.

At age 109, Clark is in excellent health. Clark still has all of his teeth except one, which he claimed was accidentally pulled by a dentist. He wears glasses when reading, but does

not use hearing aids — and he takes no medications. Clark occasionally drives a car, and does not require a walking aid or cane.

For several years and counting, Clark criss-crosses the nation and world with his daughter, Dr. Gwyneth Williams, and granddaughter, the Rev. Star Williams. Upcoming trips include London in May, Ottawa in August, Dallas in September and Russia in the autumn. They recently finished stints in Texas, New York and New Jersey. Clark and fam-ily also preach around the Puget Sound region and ordain local pastors.

It’s no surprise that Clark’s faith plays a key role in his longevity. Those who believe in their Christian faith, and have been bap-

tized, are on the right path, he said.

“If you’re on God’s side,

you’re on the right side,” he said. “Your soul gets in on the deal. … If you don’t do

right, you can’t see. Then the devil will give you a whooping.”

served for 26 years, that lack of a range was always apparent to him.

“I spent 26 years in and out of gun ranges, and my primary concern was to make a family-friendly and safe environment to learn,” said the husband and father of three daughters. “This is an opportunity to do something with my family that would be a family business and a chance to give back to the community.”

Piel said the proposed range would have a state-of-the-art ventilation system. A bullet disposal system will be the same one used by the Sno-homish County Sheriff ’s Office. The disposal system is automated and ensures that users and staff avoid exposure to any potentially harmful metals/chemicals that may come from spent shells.

He also hopes to set aside one day a month where local groups, such as Boy Scout troops or Police Explorers, can come to the range and practice. With the number of tragic stories regarding firearms lately, Piel feels a range is the best place to teach safety.

“Making people safe with (firearms) is about the best thing we can do,” he said.

Along with safety, Piel said he hopes the proposed project would be a place for families to use.

One of the groups that has been advocating for a local range is the Armed Defense Training Asso-ciation (ADTA) in Fed-eral Way. Mark Knapp, an ADTA founding member and its current president,

is hopeful that Piel’s vision can be realized.

“We have met with Rob-ert to discuss his plans and are very impressed with the way his plans dovetail with the vision the ADTA board has for shooting activities in Federal Way,” said Knapp, who contributes a firearms-

themed column to The Mirror.

In generating support for the range, another need that both Piel and Knapp have worked on trying to meet is to provide a place for Federal Way police to practice their shooting skills.

“We didn’t have a range to shoot at, we used what was available, and

sometimes that meant long drives,” Piel said. “A lot of the officers, along with my-self, always wished some-one would come in and put a range in.”

Knapp agreed. He hopes strong partnerships can be formed in making this idea a reality.

“We all share a commit-ment to facilitating more convenience regarding training for the Federal Way Police Department,” Knapp said. “There will also be various opportunities for armed citizens to obtain more training and (we’ve) discussed a team concept that is similar to a partner-ship in regards to develop-ing training opportunities.”

Check it outThe ADTA is holding

its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. May 3 at Genesis Realty (32014 32nd Ave. S., Federal Way). Scheduled to speak is the aforementioned Sumpter, who will share his experiences regarding being a contestant on “Top Shot.” The public is invited.

Federal Way Police Department Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter was eliminated from “Top Shot” this week, falling one round short of the finale in The History Channel’s popular shooting competition show.

Finally coming to the end of his run was bittersweet, Sumpter said. He was still proud to have acquitted himself well in the high pressure situations so com-mon to “Top Shot.”

“That is also the beauty of the competition. There are no do-overs or second chances,” he said. “You step up and give it your best.”

This week’s main chal-lenge revolved around the Browning M-1919, a fully automatic .30-caliber chain-fed machine gun. The M-1919, throughout its long history, has usually been mounted on vehicles. For Sumpter and his competitors, the M-1919 was placed on an M2-A1 halftrack vehicle that had actually seen combat in World War II. The shooters’ task was to hit 15 targets, 15-25 inches in size, that were 25-100 feet down-range. The largest issue the competitors had was either running through their ammo too quickly, or in Sumpter’s case, conserving too much ammo.

“Their objective was to spray at the targets and hope for the best,” he re-flected. “I tried to be more precise. You see the round count at the end. I didn’t even use half of my ammo, while three of them used all of theirs. ... I shouldn’t have been so precise and sparing with the ammo.”

Sumpter’s score after hitting five targets had put him in the danger zone for elimination. While it ap-peared that the consensus was to send contestants Gary Shank and Augie Malekovich to the elimina-tion range, Malekovich de-cided otherwise, and forced Sumpter into another tiebreaker round.

“During Season 4, there were only two tiebreakers, and I was involved in both of them,” Sumpter said.

For Sumpter, the ironic thing about being forced to the tiebreaker against

Shank was the fact that Shank had not made a single bullseye at the nomi-nation range leading up to this nomination round and the subsequent tiebreaker.

“Gary had not hit the bullseye the whole season.

He missed one by six inches, once. Until this nomina-tion. He steps up there and cracks a bullseye. Then it comes down to a tiebreaker between me and him. Can he hit that twice? I

bet not. Here’s a guy who hadn’t hit the bullseye the whole time, but when it matters the most, he hits almost dead center. He left me about a quarter inch, and I expected to improve on it,” Sumpter said.

His shot against Shank in the tiebreaker is the only shot Sumpter said he wished he could try again.

For the elimination challenge, Sumpter and Malekovich faced off in a variation of what’s known as the Keep In Memory game, or K.I.M.’s Game. In this challenge, they were using the FN PS90 carbine to shoot 10 targets. The K.I.M. part came from the fact they had to memorize 10 specific targets that were scattered among a field of 30 targets. Along with the memorization, they were required to climb across a 20-foot rope bridge and at-tempt to hit the correct tar-gets, all within 75 seconds. They got a point for every correct target they hit, and minus one point for every decoy target they hit.

“I could only remember seven of the 10 objects, but not remember them with enough specificity to distinguish them from the decoys,” he said. “I just had to go with what appeared the most familiar.”

Even with not winning, Sumpter said his time on “Top Shot” was fun.

“I was extremely fortu-nate to be selected for this show, and forever grateful that I had the opportunity. I met a bunch of new friends, and got to shoot all those challenges. I’ve had a great time watching it on TV with my family and friends and co-workers,” he said. “It’s been a fun ride, and I’m sorry it’s over.”

The season finale airs at 10 p.m. Tuesday, May 1, on The History Channel.

The newly-developed Sound-ers FC U-23 soccer club will have a big-time Federal Way feel dur-ing their inaugural season, which kicks off next month.

So far, four Federal Way school district graduates will suit up for the under-23 squad, includ-ing Beamer’s Sean Ugo Okoli, Brandon Brock-way and Troy Peterson, along with Jefferson’s Chase Hanson.

The foursome will be coached by TJ graduate and former Raid-er head coach Darren Sawatzky, who is also the director of youth development for the Major League Soccer (MLS) Sounders.

“Coaching the Sounders FC U-23s is an exciting opportunity for me,” said Sawatzky. “It will be great to watch these players grow and compete at this level and chase the dream of playing at the top level. I look forward to getting started.”

“Darren grew up in Federal Way and he has strong ties to the local soccer community,” said the team’s co-owner Lane Smith.

Sounders FC U-23, which was formerly the Tacoma Tide, have partnered with the Sound-

Federal Way Parks’ Swim-a-thon is raising funds to

ensure that family income doesn’t prevent young people

from learning basic water safety skills. Swim-a-thon

scholarships will enable children from low-income

families to take swim lessons at the Federal Way Community

Center. The Swim-a-thon will take place from May 1 to 6 at

the Community Center. The goal is to raise a minimum

of $2,500, which would pay for 50 scholarship lessons.

Organizers are aiming to recruit 50 participants and hope to raise a minimum of $50 per

person. The average cost of a swimming lesson for a child

is $50.For more information, contact Christie Welsh at (253)

Matt Bower has been virtually unhittable all season long. But the Beamer senior was literally unhittable Friday afternoon dur-ing a 5-0 Titan win over the Cur-tis Vikings in South Puget Sound League South Division baseball

action.The 6-foot-5

University of Washington-bound left hander didn’t allow a hit during the win, while strik-ing out 15 and walking only

one. Beamer sits 9-6 in the SPSL South and 11-6 overall.

“He had a great game,” said head coach Jerry Peterson. “He has been lights out.”

Lights out to say the least. On the season, Bower has a minus-cule 0.56 earned-run average and has given up just three earned runs in 37 1/3 innings. To further illustrate Bower’s dominance, all you have to do is look at his last three starts, all complete-game victories.

Along with the Curtis no-hitter, Bower also beat Graham-Kapowsin, 6-0, on April 12 and Emerald Ridge Wednesday, 10-2. He gave up just four hits in both starts.

Despite the ultra-impressive stats, Bower is only 4-2 on the year. Bower lost to Curtis on March 30, 5-1, after giving up

five unearned runs and Rogers shut out the Titans April 5. That is when Bower gave up his only earned run of the season.

Bower has already inked his national letter of intent to pitch next season at Washington with head coach Lindsey Meggs.

“Matt is a 6-foot-5, left-handed pitcher who has not yet even begun to develop,” said Meggs. “Matt is only going to get better and once he begins to add more size and strength to that 6-5 frame, well the sky is the limit. Matt’s best days are truly ahead of him and if all goes right, he could be a monster before it’s all over.”

The Titans’ offense was led by Jarred Prather and Sam Kosbab against Curtis. Both finished 2 for 3 with a pair of RBIs for Beamer. Richie Apigo also finished with a pair of hits and scored two runs. Drew Hoefel also tallied a pair of runs for the Titans.

SOFTBALLJefferson — The Raiders won a 10-inning nail-biter

Monday over the Kentwood Conquerors, 2-1.Jefferson scored early and held onto a 1-0 lead until

the bottom of the seventh when Rachel Burr hit the ball between first and second base that drove in the tying run for Kentwood.

But, the pitching duel between Conqueror freshman Kendall Goodwin and Raiders hurler Rocky Hale contin-ued, as the Jefferson defense was able to hold Kentwood.

The Conks struggled to put down bunts in the bottom of the 10th when international tiebreaker rules come into play — a runner is on second base at the start of the inning — while an errant throw to third base at the top of the 10th pushed the Raiders into the lead.

Bailey Rundle’s bunt moved Michaela Patton over to third base for Jefferson. Katie Jackson, who pitched the final inning in relief for Hale and picked up the win in the circle, bunted and was able to reach when a throw to third base went over Bailey Marshall’s head, which allowed Patton to score. Jackson finished 2 for 4 with an RBI and double.

While everything came together for Jefferson, it all fell apart for Kentwood, explained Conks head coach Jason Wisor in an email interview.

“I think yesterday was the perfect storm of what has been the perfect storm season,” Wisor wrote. “With all the rainouts and in-game cancellations this team has been frustrated that more games have not gotten in. The girls are working hard and getting better, it just so happens that yesterday we could not execute.”

He credited Hale and Goodwin for pitching well. Wisor said with nine games left on the schedule, the team will need to focus.

“Yesterday both pitchers pitched well and both teams struggled to adjust to the zone established by the umpire,” he said. “Our goal will be to continue to play the best game we can. We need to eliminate the errors and execute in situations when they happen. Our goals are still in reach and we fully intend to accomplish them.”

The win moves TJ into third place in the South Puget Sound League North Division standings with an 8-3 record. Tahoma and Kentlake both sit with only one league loss.

TENNISJefferson — The Raiders secured the SPSL Central

championship with a pair of wins earlier this week. The wins moved Jefferson to 9-0 in the division, three matches clear of second-place Beamer with one match remaining in the SPSL regular season.

The Raiders swept Auburn Riverside Tuesday, 5-0, and downed Auburn Monday, 3-2. Michelle Lee remained unbeaten in singles’ competition this season with a pair of wins. Lee (6-0) beat Riverside’s Carson Heilborn, 6-3, 6-2, and Auburn’s Nacole Schwoch, 6-0, 6-3.

Jefferson’s other singles player, Cindy Park, lost her first match of the season Monday to Auburn’s Lauren Thorn-quist. The Raiders’ top doubles team of Breanna Ziccarelli and Krista Nakamura moved to 6-1 on the year with wins in the two matches, including a three-setter against Auburn.

The girls tennis postseason will kick off Saturday with the first two rounds of the SPSL Tournament. The league tournament will continue on May 5.

[ prep wrap up from page 14 ] Trout beware: Lake fishing opens on Saturday around washingtonFor The Mirror

Time to pull out that over-stuffed tackle box inside the shed and untan-gle the fishing line on your rod and reel. Saturday marks the opening day of the 2012 lowland lakes season and anglers can expect to reel in trout that are decidedly bigger this year.

With opening day approaching, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has released 3 million hatchery-reared trout averaging 11 to 13 inches – three inches longer than the fish that were released last year.

Those fish will join millions of other trout that were stocked last year and have grown to catchable size around the state. Many of those lakes have also been stocked with triploid and jumbo trout weighing a pound and a half to 11 pounds apiece.

“We have made some changes in our trout hatchery rearing programs in response to the feedback we heard from anglers who really enjoy catch-ing larger fish,” said WDFW Director Phil Anderson. “With these fish, our state’s biggest fishing day of the year just got better.”

At least 300,000 anglers typi-cally turn out for the first day of the lowland lakes season, which remains open into the fall. Although many state waters are open year-round, the April opening marks the start of the state’s most popular fishery.

To participate, anglers must have a current Washington freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2013. Licenses can be purchased online at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov, by telephone at 1-866-246-9453 or at hundreds of license dealers across the state. For details on license vendor locations, visit wdfw.wa.gov/licens-ing/vendors/.

Freshwater fishing licenses cost $27.50 for resident adults 16 to 69

years old. Fifteen-year-olds can buy a license for $8.25, and seniors 70 and older can buy an annual fishing license for $5.50. Children 14 years of age and younger do not need a fishing license.

“Our license fees are lower this year for youth, seniors and people with disabilities,” Anderson said. “So, whether you fish from the bank, a pram, or a boat, this fishery is tailor made for a great family outing.”

Because of the popularity of trout fishing in Washington, WDFW put a higher priority on its trout-rearing program over the past year, said Chris Donley, the department’s Inland Fish Program Manager.

“For one thing, we invested in more hatchery feed to grow our fish larger,” he said. “We hope anglers see the increase in the quality of our catchable trout on opening day.”

Hatchery crews also spent the past year stocking lakes across the state with more than 10 million fry and fingerlings, which have grown to eight to 12 inches in length.

“With all of these fish ready and

waiting in statewide lakes, everyone has an excellent chance of catching some nice fish,” Donley said. “Come on out and join the fun of opening day.”

The fishing should be solid at lakes around Federal Way starting Saturday. Steel Lake was stocked with 8,500 rainbow trout eight- to 12-inches long earlier this month, Lake Geneva got 5,500 rainbows, Five Mile Lake got 3,200, Lake Killar-ney received 3,500 and Lake Fenwick was stocked with 2,000 trout. Other area lakes that will be open Saturday will be North Lake, Lake Holm and Star Lake.

Anglers parking at WDFW water-access sites are required to display on their vehicle the WDFW Vehicle Access Pass that is provided free with every annual fishing license pur-chased.

The passes are transferable be-tween two vehicles. Anglers who use Washington State Parks or Depart-ment of Natural Resource areas need the $30 annual or $10 daily Discover Pass.

Saturday marks the opening day of the 2012 lowland lakes season. At least 300,000 anglers typically turn out for opening day around Washington. file photo

Orion Industries earns awards from Boeing, Seattle MagazineMIrrOr Staff repOrtS

Orion Industries in Federal Way has been selected as the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Boeing Supplier of the Year Award from more than 17,000 companies worldwide.

The awards ceremony was held April 18 in Chicago.

Orion also received recogni-tion from Seattle Business Magazine as the recipient of the 2012 Washington Non-Profit Manufacturer of the Year Award, which will be awarded April 26. Attorney General Rob McK-enna will be the keynote speaker at the awards banquet in Seattle.

Located on 9th Avenue South in Federal Way, Orion specializes in aero-space products, including aircraft parts for Boeing. The non-profit company’s mission is to find permanent jobs for local people with disabilities or per-sonal troubles.

Annually, Boeing assesses its sup-pliers in several categories, awarding the suppliers that meet their highest standards in quality, on-time delivery, innovative technology and customer support.

Orion was nominated for the award by both Boeing Commercial Aircraft and Boeing Defense and Space.

Seattle Business Magazine’s 2012 Manufacturing Awards honor manu-facturing organizations across the state

in six judged categories: Company of the Year, Manufacturing Executive of the Year, Innovation of the Year, Emerging Manufacturer of the Year, Food Processing Manufacturer of the Year and Nonprofit of the Year.

“One element that makes these awards even more rewarding is Orion’s workforce is made up of highly skilled and professional permanent staff who provide training and employment services to people with disabilities. We are proud that we are able to provide

exceptional products and service to our customers while also serv-ing this community,” said John Theisen, Orion CEO, in a news release.

Orion’s Manufacturing Divi-sion, Orion Aerospace, is a preci-

sion manufacturer and supplier to the aerospace and defense industries. They are one of the top 20 aerospace employ-ers in Washington State and have been recipients of numerous prestigious awards.

The Training and Employment Services Division provides training and job placement services to more than 300 individuals with disabilities each year. Orion partners with a variety of organizations in this effort including school districts, Washington State De-partment of Vocational Rehabilitation, Labor & Industries and the Veterans Administration.

Orion has also been awarded the coveted Boeing Performance Excel-lence Award for 2011; and was a Boeing Performance Excellence Award winner in 2010. Approximately 5 percent of Boeing’s suppliers receive this honor.

ers to serve as a development platform for the professional first team. The Sounders U-23 will compete in United Soccer Leagues’ Premier Development League (PDL), the top U-23 men’s league in North America that fea-tures 64 teams across the United States and Canada.

The team will play against other PDL fran-chises from Vancouver, Victoria Fraser Valley, Portland and Washington Crossfire, among others. The Sounders U-23 home field will be at Franklin Pierce High School. The team will also take on Bremerton’s Kitsap Pumas on June 15 at Cheney Stadium.

Okoli, Brockway, Peter-son and Hanson all were highly-recruited players out of high school fol-lowing 2011, and all four of them played for the Sounders FC Academy program as preps.

“We expect these players to build on the successful college seasons they had this year and we look forward to getting them back in Sounders rave green for the summer,” said Sawatzky.

Okoli played in every match as a freshman for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the fall. The forward also has extensive experi-ence with the U-18 United States National Team.

Brockway, a defender, redshirted this past season at Oregon State before transferring to the University of California Santa Barbara during the offseason.

“We are excited to have Brandon’s size, athleticism and passing ability to comple-

ment our back line,” Santa Barbara head coach Tim Vom Steeg said.

Pederson, a central midfielder, played this fall at The College of Charles-ton where he was named to the All-Freshman Team in the Southern Confer-ence.

Hanson joins the Sounders U-23 after his freshman season with NCAA Division II pow-erhouse Barry Univer-sity. Hanson played in 19 matches and helped Barry reach the third round of the NCAA Division II Tournament.

The Miami-based uni-versity finished 2011 with a 12-3-6 record.

“I remember Chase when he was a 10-year-old spark plug,” Sawatzky said. “It is great to see him grow into a quality college player and we look

forward to him contributing to the group this summer.”

Season and single match tickets are on sale at SoundersU23.com. Their first home match in the PDL is May 25 against the Victoria Highlanders. The kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. at Franklin Pierce.
