Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) will offer all-day kindergarten (ADK) at 10 more schools for the coming year, thanks to an expanded state budget.

While district financial guru Sally McLean had originally only budgeted for Valhalla Elementary to receive ADK this coming year, a small blessing came from Olympia after the Leg-islature’s budget fight ended earlier this summer.

“I did not expect that the final budget would include funding for almost all of the governor’s proposal,” McLean said, referencing Gov. Jay Inslee’s budget proposal, which had been the most ambitious in some regards to education fund-ing. “This was a pleasant surprise.”

The 10 schools that will now offer ADK include the aforementioned Valhalla, Panther Lake, Silver Lake,

Rainier View, Adelaide, Brigadoon, Camelot, Lake Dolloff, Nautilus and Star Lake.

The existing programs at Mark Twain, Olympic View, Sunnycrest, Wildwood, Mirror Lake and Lake Grove will remain in place, according to FWPS.

The district also notes that students who were already signed up for ADK tuition programs at Camelot, Brigadoon, Panther Lake, Nautilus or Star Lake will no longer be required to pay tuition. It’s anticipated that with the expected increases in state funding, ADK programs will continue to expand until 2017, when the state hopes to have all schools throughout the state offer-ing ADK.

The first full day of kindergarten at the afore-mentioned schools will be Monday, Sept. 9. All other students in the school district will start school Sept. 4.

Federal Way’s city at-torney has apologized for blocking a citizen from commenting on a city-funded investigation during a public meeting.

At the July 16 city council meeting, Federal Way resident Norma Blanchard spoke during the citizen comment period. As soon as Blanchard mentioned the recent investigation

of a complaint about the mayor, City Attorney Pat Richardson interrupted her to prevent a potential viola-tion of state law:

Blanchard: “In the recent investigation by the city, first it was for - “

Richardson: “Point of order. I’m sorry, this is an election year. You can’t talk about individuals.”

Blanchard: “I’m not talk-ing about an individual. I’m talking about a situation, Pat.”

Richardson: “Point of order. You can’t use a city facility for this.”

The investigation stemmed from a complaint filed by City Councilmem-ber Kelly Maloney regard-ing Mayor Skip Priest’s behavior. The investigation was conducted in May and cost taxpayers about $5,700, according to the city.

Richardson had stopped the investigation after “the investigator became concerned the complaint

was being used for political objectives.” According to this interpretation, moving forward with the investiga-tion would violate state law.

This law prohibits the city from using or authorizing public facilities — in this case, the council chambers at City Hall — for com-ments that address candi-dates and ballot measures. Both Maloney and Priest are running for election this year.

Blanchard followed up

with a phone message to the city attorney’s office to voice her concerns about the investigation. The city attorney’s office then fol-lowed up with the Public Disclosure Commission.

On July 19, Richard-son issued an apology to Blanchard.

“I learned that it would not violate state law for you to address the topic of the investigation as long as you avoid delving into the

Sharon Morehouse collected this garbage in about 20 minutes during her morning walk July 22 along Redondo Beach. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror

By ANDy HOBBS

Sharon Morehouse walks daily along the Puget Sound. When the tide is low, she starts from her home in the Woodmont area of Des Moines and turns around at Blanket Rock near the end of the boardwalk in Redondo.

On each of these strolls, Morehouse picks up gar-bage — and on some morn-ings, lots of garbage.

She is saddened by the glass beer bottles and mis-cellaneous litter that pollute the rocky seaweed-coated shore. She often finds piles of yard waste such as grass clippings and ivy trimmings that surely came from homeowners who live along the beach.

On Monday, Morehouse once again combed the stretch of beach along the boardwalk in Redondo with her walking stick in tow.

She pointed out a tree stump where people place plastic bottles and garbage for her to collect. Hanging off the ledge of the board-walk was a white garbage bag, which Morehouse

A South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) firefighter was disciplined and charged with professional miscon-duct after contacting a

patient he treated during an emergency response.

According to a person-nel file, firefighter Brandon Church treated, evaluated and transported a patient to St. Francis Hospital while on duty Feb. 22, 2012. Two

hours later, Church sent the patient a friend request on Facebook that was “per-sonal and included sexual innuendo.” The content of the message has not been disclosed.

SKFR learned about Church’s action from a friend of the patient who is a firefighter at another fire department, according to documents. This was a violation of SKFR’s code of ethics because it involved using privileged informa-tion — in this case, the patient’s name — to initiate contact with the patient.

As a result, firefighter Church was placed on dis-ciplinary probation for one year. He was also suspended for one shift.

Church is the son of SKFR Chief Allen Church. The chief told The Mirror via email, “I have not been involved in this matter at all.” The chief also referred inquiries in this matter to Assistant Chief Ed Plumlee.

Plumlee, who is Brandon Church’s direct supervisor, said the discipline was ef-fective and the fire depart-ment has moved on.

“He made what I con-

sider a mistake,” Plumlee told The Mirror. “I think Brandon’s doing great. This has happened, it’s done. He’s responded well to (the discipline) and it speaks well to the department’s handling of the case.”

In a letter dated March 13, 2013, Plumlee notified firefighter Church that he had successfully completed the terms of his probation, which included:

• Not having additional disciplinary misconduct charges

• Monthly evaluations completed by his company officer and reviewed by his battalion chief

• Studying several bylaws for the fire district, includ-ing SKFR’s mission and values statement

• Completing a five-page paper to demonstrate his understanding of the viola-tion and the material he was required to study

• Limited personal on-duty cellphone use, which was restricted to business or emergency calls

• An appointment with Dr. Lem Stepherson of the Employee Assistance Program

Other disciplineAfter nearly five years

with SKFR, firefighter Church has three other dis-ciplinary notices on file.

In July 2009, Church was confronted about spending excessive time on the com-puter while on duty, and was asked by supervisor Lt. Scott Ervin whether he was checking or posting to Facebook. Church denied it. When caught posting on Facebook again while on duty in August 2009, Church admitted he made a false statement about the July incident.

The same disciplinary notice reports that in July 2009, Church was caught cheating on a mapping test that covered main response routes. According to the report, on two occasions, “Church got up to look at a map and came back to his test to put down the answers.” Church was retested in a “more formal atmosphere.”

According to the report’s conclusion, “Church will discontinue lying or cheating, and will work on rebuilding the respect

and trust he has lost with his peers. Further viola-tions could result in formal charges.”

In response to the 2009 reprimand, Church wrote that “the mistakes I made were inexcusable and will definitely not be repeated in the future.”

On June 19, 2010, Church was reprimanded for insubordination after violating an order to not send text messages on his private cellphone while on duty. “Your company officer is concerned about your attention to detail and learning while at work,” ac-cording to the disciplinary report.

On June 28, 2010, Church was reprimanded for giving a false and misleading statement. Ac-cording to the disciplinary report, Church was asked if he was qualified to drive a fire engine. He answered in the affirmative, the report said, even though Church was told by his company officer that he wouldn’t be qualified to drive until that officer “signed off on his ability to drive and operate the pump.”

Federal Way Police Chief Brian Wilson honored a diverse collection of indi-viduals during the Federal Way City Council’s July 16 meeting.

A Washington State Pa-trol trooper, three longtime FWPD officers, and a long-time volunteer all received praise from Wilson.

The first honoree was Trooper John Pierce.

“Our officers have the privilege of working with the State Patrol and Trooper Pierce on an ongoing basis,” Wilson said. “And we often work together on serious and significant calls. Earlier this year, there was a call of a man on 320th over I-5, who was contemplat-ing suicide. This was a very tricky call.”

The distraught man actu-ally had one leg over the rail and was set to jump from the 320th overpass onto I-5 below — until Pierce’s quick actions.

“Trooper John Pierce was with our people, but he put himself at risk and grabbed this guy from going over,”

Wilson said. “He saved this guy’s life, and others.”

Pierce was honored with the FWPD Lifesaving Award for his actions on the 320th overpass.

Longtime officer Lt. Tracy Gross-nickle was given a police chief ’s commendation for his work on the PA-TROL Auto Theft Task Force.

Five years ago, Grossnickle was selected as the first supervi-sor for the PATROL Auto Theft Task Force. This was a new task force for the South King and North Pierce county region, a state funded task force to address the prolific problem of auto theft.

“He started this new task force from the ground up. He has been recognized by the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority for outstanding achievement and coordination,” Wilson said.

According to Wilson, Grossnickle’s leadership has led to 221 arrests on 651 charges, and 355 recovered vehicles valued at ap-

proximately $2.5 million. Grossnickle has had six federal cases so far in the task force’s history, only one of which went to trial.

“(Most) of these cases resulted in guilty pleas. They are just rock solid cases that this task force generated un-der Tracy’s leader-ship,” Wilson noted.

Lt. Brett Hatfield and Cmdr. Chris Norman were also

honored with the police chief ’s commendation. Hat-field’s work with a special operations unit in the city’s downtown core has led to a reduction of crime of nearly 50 percent, Wilson said, and that reduction has stayed stable since the unit’s inception.

“From Memorial Day to Labor Day during the last three years, we have not had one serious assault in the downtown area. I firmly believe that’s attributable to this unit,” Wilson said.

Norman was honored for his work with the Valley Civil Disturbance unit, a multi-agency unit aimed at combatting any serious

disturbances in the region. Norman led the unit for the past six years, Wilson said, making him the longest tenured leader of that unit. Along with this, Wilson said Norman’s presence on FWPD is invaluable.

“If there’s anything inno-vative or creative going on, he’s got his fingerprints on it in some form or another,” Wilson said.

Finally, Wilson honored longtime volunteer Dave Peterson with the Police Chief ’s Citizen Commen-dation. Peterson, who’s been a FWPD volunteer since 1997, has worked with the property/evidence department and the vehicle maintenance department, according to Wilson.

“He has safeguarded and transported 10,000 pieces of evidence to and from the Washington State Crime Lab or the King County Sheriff ’s AFIS Lab. 10,000 pieces of evidence,” Wilson said. “I can’t say enough about him and what he means to us, to my staff, to our city. He is just a pleasure to be around and he contributes in so many ways.”

A jailed man has confessed to a murder that allegedly occurred in April over a heroin deal at a secluded Federal Way park.

On July 13, police detectives searched for the victim’s body in the wooded areas near Pali-sades Park, 5039 Dash Point Road. Part of the road was closed as police relied on four cadaver dogs and assistance from King County Search and Rescue.

The confession came from Adam Christensen, 21. According to court documents, Christensen was locked up at Clatsop County Jail in Oregon when, on June 5, he told a law enforcement officer that he wanted to talk “about somebody I might have killed.”

Sometime after April 16, Christensen and a drug dealer set up a meeting with the victim to sell heroin. According to documents, the victim was described as a black male who was possibly a member of the Hilltop Crips gang.

The three men were attempting to make a drug deal inside the dealer’s vehicle, which was parked at Palisades Park, located down the road from Dash Point State Park. The victim grabbed the heroin and tried to flee, according to documents. That’s when Christensen claims to have shot the victim once in the chest, then a sec-ond time in the back, all while inside the dealer’s vehicle. Christensen fled the vehicle and later

Man confesses to murder over heroin deal at Palisades Park; police search for body

phoned the dealer about the victim.

“Christensen was not aware of the victim’s welfare,” the investigation notes, “although believed after shooting him twice that he would not have survived.”

According to documents, the dealer was from Milton and drove a GMC Yukon, but Christensen would not identify who his dealer was.

The alleged murder weapon was a .38 Special revolver, and according to documents, Christensen broke into his father’s home and stole .38 ammunition. His father is an Auburn police officer, and the bul-lets were kept in a black gun safe that was labeled as the property of the Auburn Police Department. Chris-tensen said he was able to pry open the safe and retrieve the ammo.

Federal Way Police Lt. Tom Robinson told The Mirror that several details from Christensen’s confes-sion have been confirmed. However, no charges have been filed because police

have yet to find a body or the vehicle where the shoot-ing allegedly occurred. Very few murder cases involve a conviction without a body and more concrete physical evidence, he said.

“The whole idea is to find the drug dealer who drove the Yukon,” Robinson said, noting that the alleged dealer is believed to be a white male in his early 20s.

Robinson said Palisades Park is a relatively problem-free park. In fact, the police department is holding its annual picnic at the park in

August, he said.“These are drug-dealing

criminals,” Robinson told The Mirror about the suspects who are under investigation. “They’re not doing it when you’re there (at the park) with your kids playing.”

Christensen is currently locked up at Kent City Jail on unrelated theft and DUI charges, according to KIRO 7 News. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Richard Kim at (253) 835-6744.

Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:• Chicken killed: At 2:08 p.m. July 21 in the 600 block of SW 299th Street, the owners of a chicken claimed their neighbor’s dog killed the chicken.

The report notes that the dog owners were issued a warning regarding “the dog’s violent propensities.”• Last call turns rowdy: At 2:11 a.m. July 21 in the 35000 block of 21st Avenue SW, a group of men became disgruntled when last call was announced. According to the report, the group tried to force their way behind the bar and got into a confrontation with security personnel. During the confronta-tion, one of the men from the group is said to have brandished a handgun. The report notes the group of men had dispersed by the time the police arrived.• Sexual assault of a child: At 12:22 a.m. July 21 at an undis-closed location, the suspect was arrested for “digitally and orally penetrating” a child.• Target card fraud: At 12:27 a.m. July 21 in the 28000 block of 20th Avenue South, a woman re-ported that unknown suspects had opened a Target card in her name and had made several charges to it.

According to the report, this hap-pened during a massage the host father had convinced the student to get from him.• Bicycle and bag of books ap-pear in man’s yard: At 5:48 p.m. July 21 in the 1400 block of South 308th Street, a man reported that an unknown person had left a bicycle and a bag of books on his property. The man requested the items be removed. The report notes that police took the items into custody and booked them into evidence.• Generator stolen: At 8:56 p.m. July 21 in the 34000 block of 16th Avenue South, a man parked his camper trailer in a store parking lot in order to walk his dog.

The Federal Way School Board heard more good news from Assistant Superintendent of Busi-ness Services Sally McLean during the board’s July 23 meeting, with McLean say-ing that the district received approximately $4.4 million in additional funding for the upcoming school year.

“There were two fairly significant revenue streams that we weren’t counting because often they were ‘strings attached’ money,” McLean said. “We’re getting $2.6 million to reduce class size in high poverty schools in kindergarten and first grade classrooms only…The other piece of fund-ing, that is also addition-ally strings attached, that we’re very unclear about how we’ll be able to spend that, is for (the) conditional learning assistance program (LAP), which totals almost $1.8 million.”

McLean mentioned that for the class reduc-tion money, there are no strings attached in this first year, which the district has “flexibility to address some other outstanding one-time needs.” For the LAP money, McLean said the district is still looking for some guid-ance from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) on how

the district can use that money, but that it also af-fords the district the chance to “do some long-term planning with those funds.”

“It’s good news. The su-perintendent’s recommen-dation to you as presented and as adopted, we’ll be able to support next year,” she said. “And we have a couple more opportunities now to figure out how to better support our students.”

Even with the unexpect-ed largesse from Olympia, McLean did note that state legislators had managed to sneak a bill by during the last hectic days and hours of the second special ses-sion earlier this summer.

“In addition to making a down payment on the Mc-Cleary decision, (there) is a 43-page policy bill related to K-12 instruction, and that impacts school districts in a variety of ways,” she said. “(It covers everything from) ways to support students, to the numbers of instructional minutes in a school year. So that bill has a lot of cost implications.”

McLean said that Federal Way Superintendent Rob Neu and his leadership team would be meeting in early August to begin to di-gest this new bill and what it means for the district.

“I would say this 43-page bill is a new unfunded man-date,” McLean concluded.

More money in school coffers - plus a surprise

State awaits health care changesFRoM StAFF REpoRtS

Gov. Jay Inslee was joined by state and federal health care leaders and a coalition of more than 100 local or-ganizations on July 16 for the “Coverage is Here” enroll-ment summit. The summit resulted in a “plan to educate Washington residents about new opportunities for health care coverage under Medicaid expansion and Washington’s health benefit exchange.” The state will save an estimated $280 million by the end of 2015, and add 10,000 new jobs as a result of the health care reform changes, Inslee said.

With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Oct. 1 and associated reforms to Medicaid, large swaths of Washington residents will be eligible for insur-ance. The state’s Health Care Authority expects to add more than 300,000 new clients to the 1.2 million current Medicaid caseload in the first years of health care reform.

• Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest recom-mended, and some of the council members agreed, to consider a different newspaper of re-cord. The political issues aside, it makes you wonder if they read the local news-paper. Sometimes there is information in there that would be helpful to elected officials in performing their duties. If they did read it, maybe they would have noticed that one of the candidates the council appointed to a city board was a chiropractor going to trial on felony sex charges.

• Harvard University, the home of many of our country’s leaders, was embarrassed recently by a student cheating scandal. The class they were cheating on: Government 1310, Introduc-tion to Congress.

• Get even politics? Last January, the State Supreme Court found that the Legislature was not fulfilling its constitutional duty for fund-ing basic education. Then a few months ago, the court angered conservatives — and Sen. Michael Baumgartner (R-Spokane) — when it ruled the two-thirds voter approval to raise taxes was unconstitutional. Baumgartner then introduced a bill to help finance basic educa-tion by cutting the Supreme Court from nine justices to five. He said he expected the judges to support the bill. They didn’t.

• If you’re an attractive female who wants a career, you might want to steer clear of Iowa. On the other hand, if you’re a male who can’t

control himself, Iowa is the place for you. Or at least that’s what the all-male Supreme Court says. A male dentist fired his hygienist of 10

years because she was too pretty and was too big of a temptation. The court ruled it was legal to fire her because she was a threat to his marriage. The Supreme Court recently announced it will reconsider its previous position. Since about half the voters in Iowa are women, that seems prudent.

• As our congressional leaders argue over billions of dollars of debt and how to manage our government more responsibly, they might want to look a little closer to home. According to Cox Newspapers, last year the Senate Hair Care barbershop/salon ran a deficit of $401,000. The reason: $20 haircuts to Sena-tors, staff and members of the public. What do you pay for a haircut?

• Have you thought that most criminals aren’t very bright? You’re right. One Portland, Ore., criminal accidentally placed a call to 911 while in the middle of a drug deal. The police traced the call to right around the corner from the police department. Note to drug dealers: Don’t carry your phone in your back pocket, and remember to consult a city map when setting the meeting location. It’s best to avoid areas near police stations.

• Donald Trump: “When it comes to im-migration, you know 11 million illegals will be

Local post office branch is an eyesore

I drove down Pacific Highway the other day to purchase stamps at the post office.

When I drove up, I wondered if the post office had closed, since there were tall weeds and litter and a general look of abandoned prop-erty. There were cars in the lot, so I stopped to purchase my items.

I went down Pacific Highway again a few days later, thinking the situation would be different, but sadly no.

I don’t know who to complain to about the total lack of respect for the property and the shabby exte-rior, etc., but I am hoping The Mir-ror will investigate and find who is

responsible to see that maintenance and upkeep is completed. A federal building should not be an eyesore for the city.Kristine McKell, Federal Way

Editor’s note: The Mirror contact-ed Ernie Swanson, the region’s U.S. Postal Service spokesman. “I checked with the person who is in charge of the Federal Way Branch Office about this issue,” Swanson wrote in an email. “He says he is in the process of awarding a contract to have the area in front of the Federal Way Branch Office cleaned up. He hopes this can be accomplished within the next week.”

State Rep. Kochmar’s vote was penny-wise and pound-foolish

This year’s state legislative session was extended into double over-time ending Saturday, June 29, in the early evening. Gov. Jay Inslee signed the $33 billion budget into law the following day.

On the Thursday before the end of the session, former Federal Way mayor and now 30th District legislator Linda Kochmar took to the House floor to passionately argue against a transportation bill

that would enhance transportation on two fronts and preserve current levels of Metro Transit service.

And what was she arguing about? A proposal of 10.4 cents a gallon tax to the price of gas.

This tax would fund major needed transportation projects including the long overdue con-necting of Highway 509 to I-5 and Highway 167 to I-5 near Fife, thus creating a corridor for the move-ment of freight to and from the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma.

The other project would replace the aging outdated I-5 drawbridge between Vancouver and Portland. The part that would affect us in Federal Way directly was reducing Metro Transit service.

Mirror’s editorial board: Rudi Alcott, publisher; Andy Hobbs, editor; Joann Piquette, retired and community advocate; Bob Dockstader, retired attorney; Joan Tornow, author, school volunteer and mentor; Bob Case, journalism trainer and former news announcer; Don Hyun, tech industry consultant.Contact the board: [email protected]

Recently, I wrote about Hobby Lobby and their federal case re-garding not offering emergency contraception to employees because of the religious beliefs of the owners.

Some people were thrilled to know this and vowed never to shop at Hobby Lobby again. Others defended the right of a business owner to restrict the benefits he or she offers to employees.

What if those benefits are more than emergency contraception? What if the health care you are able to receive at a hospital is dictated by a set of religious beliefs in which you don’t believe? What if you are actually denied services that are legal in our state due to religious mandates by one denomination?

Nearly 40 percent of hospitals in Washington state, including our local hospital, St. Francis, are run by Catholic organizations. Franciscan Health System, of which St. Francis Hospital is a part, functions under the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. This means that as a condition of employment, employ-ees must adhere to these policies.

I am not anti-Catholic, or even anti-religious freedom. I am questioning the balance between religious rights and rights of the general public under the law.

You see, these hospitals also use public funds — your tax dollars — to provide services. Anytime Medicare or Medicaid is billed, the hospitals receive payments, and it is likely they could not continue to function without these funds.

You may think, “Well, if you don’t believe in these religious directives, then don’t work for Franciscan (or Ascension or Peace Health or Providence). Don’t even get your medical care there.”

Perhaps this would be easy enough for those of us in Federal Way. Many of us could, with minimal hassle, go to Valley Medical Center, or MultiCare, or Tacoma General.

But what about those Washingtonians in the 25 percent of counties where no other hospital care other than a Catholic hospital is available?

For instance, a planned merger between Har-rison Hospital in Bremerton and Franciscan Health System would require someone to take an hour-long ferry ride to access the next closest non-Catholic hospital, should they choose not to have their health care restricted.

voting Democratic. I say to myself, why aren’t we letting more people in from Europe?” Isn’t that where the rest of us came from?

• Sarah Palin: “Todd’s got the rifle, I’ve got the rack.” Trump-Palin in 2016.

• In 2012, many Republican Sena-

tors said Obama’s health care plan would bankrupt the state. The 2013 budget passed by the Republican-dominated state Senate included Obamacare because it “saved” the state several million dollars.

• A friend and I were planning to play golf at the Auburn municipal golf course. I called about a tee time and gave them my name. “How do

you spell that?” asked the assistant pro. Good reminder that we’re all just passing through. Current office-holders … they forget quickly, so try to do good while you are there.

• Isn’t it strange how Congress always says there’s no money? That is until they are inconvenienced. When the air traffic controllers went on strike and inconvenienced 500 mem-

bers of Congress, suddenly there’s money to put the controllers back to work.

• Headline in regional newspaper: “Deceased singers needed.” Turns out it was for auditions for a play. Thank goodness!

Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, a former mayor of Auburn: [email protected].

The House passed their end of the bill, 52 to 40, and sent it to the fractured Sen-ate, where it was killed.

So why was this bill’s pas-sage needed?

1. Just the construction jobs alone would have been an economic stimulus to the local economies.

2. The bill would have made the Port of Tacoma more competitive on the world trade market and again improving the region’s employment and economic situation.

3. The replacement of the I-5 drawbridge would have provided safer and more efficient crossing of that segment of highway and there was a proposal of expanding Portland’s MAX into Vancouver, further reducing traffic flow.

This bill would have also maintained current levels of Metro bus service which 17 percent of the service is now on the chopping block that equals more cars on the roads for your com-mute. State Rep. Kochmar tried to conduct a short “economics” class on the House floor on how she implemented city planning while mayor. She used a flawed example of someone who owns an SUV that uses 80 gallons a week which would be $8 a week multi-plied by 52 weeks.

First off, if you buy 80 gallons of gas a week, I don’t think $8 is going

to hurt your bottom line much. The local gas sta-tions play with the price with far more variables than 10.4 cents a gallon. Just last week there was a 15-cent fluctuation right here in Federal Way. I think that gas prices alone should be more of a concern than

a 10.4 user tax. Studies indicate that for ev-

ery nickel gas goes up, it takes a billion dollars out of the economy daily.Thinking about

what State Rep. Kochmar said, it is a good argument for riding the bus if 10 cents a gallon would create an economic burden. I think Ms. Kochmar needed to think about her example before she spoke. It did not add any credibility to her stance on this issue.

What has just happened is a loss of future tax dollars to better fund education, provide better social ser-vices and assist with future road improvements. The list is long. Thank you, State Rep. Roger Freeman and State Sen. Tracey Eide, for not exercising penny-wise, pound-foolish economics.Randall Smith, Federal Way

Young students who like Moore

Martin Moore is a phenomenal person. When observing the upcoming position he is running for, I cannot fathom a better can-didate for the spot. Martin has faithfully accompanied

me throughout my school career.

Martin was my AVID teacher during my eighth-grade year. He was very committed and dedicated to his duties as an Ameri-Corps volunteer and prides himself in what he could do for me and the students in my class. He was very involved in his community and gives back to the city of Federal Way as much as he can. So I implore you to elect this prodigious young man into Federal Way City Council Position 6. Martin has a large following of young students like myself, and we are the future of Federal Way, so what we have to say is definitely essential.Jevaughn Palmer, Federal Way

Essential traits of Noble-Gulliford

My parents moved to Federal Way in 1946, a year before I was born, and this has been my home except for two years military service and a four-year job transfer. I have increased my activities in Federal Way over the past 20 years and have become more aware of the importance of our elected officials and the impact they have on all aspects of our community. This is my first letter to the editor of the newspaper.

A city council position that was open late last year was filled by an individual that I have had the good

Q: Mr. Federal Way, why are you so anti-Federal Way? If Federal Way is such a bother to you, why don’t you move to a different city? Why don’t you have to put your real name on your column like everyone else? I doubt you will answer these questions in the paper, but if you do, I am sure you will print my name as the questioner.

A: Mr. Federal Way will gladly answer your questions. First off, Mr. Federal Way is nowhere close to anti-Federal Way. This is home. This is where Mr. and Mrs. Federal Way are raising Federal Way’s Royal Family (see later in the column).

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Mr. Federal Way is just pointing out where these improvements can be made. In the “real world,” that’s how a lot of things get accomplished.

In case you didn’t know, not everything in the city is perfect. Things don’t improve when people just sit around the fire sing-ing “Kumbaya,” hoping things get better. Change — good or bad — occurs when some people in the general population question things.

That’s just what Mr. Federal Way is do-ing. So, in the future, if Mr. Federal Way sees something in town that doesn’t make sense, Mr. Federal Way is going to write about it, hoping it leads to some type of change.

In conclusion, Mr. Federal Way is Mr. Federal Way’s real name, obviously. What makes you think otherwise?

Q: What kind of attire should men wear as a guest to a summer wedding? The wedding is early evening. No indica-tion was given to dress code (formal, ca-sual, etc). Would khaki shorts and a nice button-down-style shirt be appropriate? Or should I play it safe with a jacket and tie? It will be mostly outdoors, so I am pretty sure a jacket and tie will have me sweating like a pig. Any advice?

A: If there is nothing on the wedding invitation, Mr. Federal Way thinks a button-down shirt and some shorts are just fine. In Mr. Federal Way’s opinion, you can wear whatever you want, within reason. That doesn’t mean jean shorts (aka jorts) and a tank top.

It’s up to the bride and groom to determine the dress code on the wedding invitation. The only thing Mr. Federal Way would suggest is a nice pair of shoes and no socks. Nothing looks lazier than bright white socks and tennis shoes with a button-down shirt.

Mr. Federal Way has gone with the short/button-down look plenty of times at weddings. Not only is it a lot more com-fortable in the heat, but it also allows for more movement on the dance floor and

to the bar later in the evening. Q: Why is it that when a police officer

flashes their lights to pull someone over, someone thinks it’s OK to stop right in the middle of the road? And why does the officer allow them to sit there while they’re running the plates or presumably writing a ticket? Why doesn’t the officer direct them to the nearest side road and just continue their business there?

A: It’s not really up the police officer where you pull over. It’s the responsibility of the driver to pull over in a safe area. According to Mr. Federal Way’s research staff, the only reason why a police officer would get on the loudspeaker and tell you to move your car is if the officer is in danger of getting run over.

Mr. Federal Way suggests that if you see flashing lights from a cop behind you on busy roads like 320th or Pacific Highway, don’t panic. Pull over into a well-lighted parking lot or side road.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, were you on the edge of your seat awaiting the arrival of the “Royal Baby?”

A: At first, your question gave Mr. Federal Way a big-time scare. All this talk about a “Royal Baby” made Mr. Federal Way think that Mrs. Federal Way had a “bun in the oven,” so to speak.

But, after a panicked phone call to Mrs. Federal Way, it was made clear that the cookie sheet inside the “oven” was void of all buns and the baby in question was in reference to the Royal Family in England, and not the Royal Family of Federal Way.

Phew!So, in terms of the baby boy of Prince

William and Princess Kate, Mr. Federal Way is very happy everyone is doing well. It’s like a modern-day fairy tale that everyone in the world gets to read. If the Royal Baby’s birth can make people forget about all the bad things happening in the world, then Mr. Federal Way will raise a pint in celebration.

The only question Mr. Federal Way has is — what is the baby’s last name? Do the “Royals” have a last name or is it just (title) followed by (first name), i.e. Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth? Mr. (title) Federal Way (first name) is having a tough time figuring it out.

Q: Must you discuss things in third-person always? It’s annoying.

A: Yes. Mr. Federal Way likes using the third-person because Mr. Federal Way thinks it’s funny and Mr. Federal Way is writing this column, not you.

However, Mr. Federal Way thanks you for the question.

Got a question for Mr. Federal Way? Email [email protected].

Q&A with Mr. Federal Way: Royal baby, wedding fashion

The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services con-flict with several Wash-ington laws and policies, including the Washington Constitution, Reproductive Privacy Act, the Anderson Murray Anti-Discrimina-tion Law, the Death with Dignity Act, and Marriage Equality. To be more clear, here a partial list of services that are affected by the di-rectives:

• Fertility treatments• Birth control• Limited options for

abnormal pregnancies • Advance directives

regarding end-of-life care

• Recognition of same-sex marriages

• Transgender health careWhile these hospitals and

medical centers provide needed care in many areas, they simply don’t offer a long list of treatment op-tions due to the mandates in the Religious Directives.

As a result, an increasing number of patients are not allowed to make their own health care decisions, either because services are denied, or because the options are omitted from what is avail-able to be provided.

It comes down to this: whose rights are more important? Those of the religious organization run-ning the service, or those of

the patients receiving care?Should these hospitals at

least be required to provide informed consent about this information to patients — in a format other than information buried in a link on a website? Legislators, religious institutions, the governor, the ACLU and others are battling this out right now. Until there’s a resolution, when it comes to accessing hospital care in our state, it’s buyer beware.

fortune of being well acquainted with. Diana Noble-Gulliford and I have served together on the His-torical Society of Federal Way board of directors for the past several years, alter-nating as presidents.

Since she first became involved in the Histori-cal Society, she has been a leader in many of our accomplishments includ-ing the book about Federal Way, the completion of the Denny Cabin, the installa-tion of new historic road signs, the move to our new location at Steel Lake, and many other items.

Her leadership style is to become well informed on all aspects of the project, get others involved in completing the project, and not worry about who gets the credit. There are some important traits that Diana has that are essential to my endorsement:

• A vision for a new and improved Federal Way community.

• A demonstrated com-mitment to improvements to our community based upon prior activities.

• A commitment to serv-ing by spending substan-tial time over the past six months getting up to speed on current issues facing the council so she could make informed decisions.

• Commitment to public safety.

• Fiscal responsibility.• Personal integrity in all

activities.I encourage your support

of Diana Noble-Gulliford.Gerald C. Knutzen, Federal Way

Koppang is a leader we need

I have known Mark Koppang for over 20 years and have always admired his work ethic, his ambi-tion and his integrity. I have seen Mark start a volunteer program from the ground up and when he stepped down from the leadership role a few years later, there were over 100 people cover-ing a variety of volunteer tasks.

Mark spearheaded the move of Life Academy of Puget Sound from Burien to its Federal Way location where it has been operating for 15 years. Prior to the move, he investigated the community, made contacts and ultimately found an appropriate location for children to learn and grow in a park-like setting.

In his position as a national accounts manager,

he has been able to build consensus, beginning with understanding his clients’ issues, providing options and working with his customer until solutions are reached.

Mark has mentored countless young adults, helping them with per-sonal goal setting in their respective careers and development as well as pre-marriage counseling for numerous couples. This, along with his consistent volunteerism for Habitat for Humanity’s Westway neigh-borhood project where they have renovated approxi-mately 15 homes, shows me that he not only talks about improving our community, but he willingly puts forth effort to get the job done.

Mark is the kind of leader we need to transform Fed-eral Way into a community of prosperity and influence. Please vote for Mark Kop-pang for Federal Way City Council Position 2.Suzanne Leon, Federal Way

Will a Teamster hijack election?

Voting is in high gear right now, and it’s obvious there are some shenanigans going on from some of the candidates.

Has anyone else noticed that Anthony Murrietta, city council candidate, placed the majority of his signs the day the ballots dropped and that the signs are placed illegally?

They are all over the city in very prominent places.

That’s a high-impact strategy that is not only ille-gal, but is being allowed to perpetuate because the city isn’t enforcing its own sign code. They are allowing the signs to stay up, even though they directly impact two other candidates’ cam-paigns.

And, who is Murrietta anyway? Does anyone even know him? All we know is he’s a Teamster. Other than that, he hasn’t attended a single city council meet-ing (that I’m aware of), he didn’t bother to go to the Municipal League endorse-ment interview, he didn’t participate in the Red, White and Blues Fourth of July celebration, and no one I know has ever heard of him.

Yet, he has enough money to drop a high-end mail piece on the eve of ballots coming out, and to place these signs illegally all over the city.

It’s like he’s trying to steal the election. I hope others can see what’s going on. We don’t need a person who

tries to hijack an election and isn’t involved coming in and taking over. We have enough problems.Erika Dahring, Federal Way

Maloney is good for businesses

I have been in business in Federal Way since 1981, and have seen a long list of political candidates come and go. This city tries to be friendly to business. How-ever, there are important business issues that we face that are making progress in surrounding communities and could spread to Federal Way.

One such issue is a B&O (business and operations) tax that is being promoted by some in Federal Way. Another is the ballot issue in the City of Seatac to raise the minimum wage on some but not all jobs. What about the mayor of Seattle keeping businesses from entering the city by playing politics with alleys?

City Councilmember Kelly Maloney will not always do what I wish a politician would do when these issues come to Federal Way, but I trust her to be fair and look at all sides of the issue before making a decision.

Many of our local politicians jump on the bandwagon on issues that have the words “green” or “transit” in them, but their policies just cost us more and don’t solve the issues intended.

Kelly Maloney is looking at a specific proposal to bring actual jobs to our city, such as her educa-tion initiative. She knows that government does not create jobs. Strong busi-nesses in Federal Way will expand and add the jobs we need locally. If the govern-ment weakens businesses through higher taxes or bad policies, businesses leave the community. I could list dozens of cases where this has happened.

All we can do is look at each candidate carefully and measure their experi-ence, ideas and actions against what we know Federal Way needs to grow and be successful. Kelly Maloney has the experi-ence, ideas and, as a current city councilmember, the ac-tions I know will be of great value to all of us who care about this community.Byron Hiller, Federal Way

Candidates for vacant FW School Board positionMirror StaFF reportS

Three candidates are competing for Fed-eral Way School Board position 4, which is being vacated by current board member Angela Griffin. The Mirror sent two questions each to candi-dates Carol Gregory, Medgar Wells and Kenneth Lance Barton. Below are their answers. Barton has not responded. The candidates were in-vited to participate in a forum at 6 p.m. July 31 at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club. Gregory is unable to attend; Wells and Barton both RSVP’d.

Carol GregoryQ: If elected, what will be the first thing you try to fix in the Federal Way Public Schools?a: Let me say first that I am very proud of the work of the Federal Way Public Schools. I think we have outstanding school personnel that have a commitment to ensure that all children succeed. My question is, how do we increase our support of that work through the policies adopted and the guidance given to the super-

intendent by the school board? The two areas I would want to focus on as a new school board member are: • To ensure that we are wisely spending our resources and providing quality supports to students and teachers to ensure that all students can achieve their potential. We need to continue to focus on lowering the achievement and opportunity gaps for all children. • To ensure that the community is heard and their

interests are being represented at the school board level. As a school board member I would commit to being in the community listening to concerns and successes. I want to also invite representatives of the community to participate in school board meetings. Televised meetings are a good way to com-municate with the public, but they only communicate one way. I want to see more two-way communication at the school board level.

Q: Why should voters elect you to the school board? What sets you apart from the other candidates?a: I am the only person in the race who has had an extensive and solid career in public education. I have been a successful teacher and administrator. I have also worked on education policy at the state and national levels and have been a union leader. As an administrator in the Highline School District, I focused on community engagement. This allowed me the op-portunity to work with very diverse communities as we see in Federal Way. I am a good listener, collaborator


Robert Raymond SADLER Robert (Bob) Sadler, 93, passed away quietly in his sleep at

home early the morning of July 11, 2013. Bob had a full and productive life which re� ected his strong values for family and country.

Bob was born outside of Couer d’Alene, Idaho on November 7, 1919. Raised in northern Idaho, he graduated from St. Maries High School in 1937. In 1940 he left Idaho and joined the Army at Fort Lewis and was accepted into the inaugural 10th Mountain Division Ski Troops (87th

Mountain Infantry Regiment) which trained at Mt. Rainier and other U.S. posts. His company fought in the Aleutians, the Po Valley and the Apennine Mountains of Northern Italy. As a Platoon Sergeant he earned

the Bronze Star for meritorious service. When the war ended he started his career in surveying; working for the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads on projects from Montana to New Mexico. In 1947 while in charge of a crew at Yellowstone Park he met his future wife Shirley, a summer park employee. They were married in Sitka, Alaska where he became City Engineer and served in the National Guard of Alaska (rising to Major). In 1955 they returned to the Seattle area where he worked for many years for several surveying and civil engineering companies. Eventually he started his own surveying business in 1973 in Federal Way.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Ed and Lorraine Sadler, his brother Dick and sister Edna. He is survived by his wife Shirley, his brother Roger (Nancy), his daughters Robin (Brett Bence), Sydney (Dave Olausen), sons Mark (Martha), Bruce (Ingelaurie Lisher), and seven grandchildren.

Bob had an enthusiasm for life, held learning in high regard and went out of his way for others in need. He set high standards for himself in all that he pursued. Bob will be remembered for his immense pride in his family, his dedication and service to his country, his surveying signature throughout the Northwest, his love of Dixieland jazz, his charm and sense of humor.

On Monday, July 29, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. at Tahoma National Cemetery a military service will be held. Afterwards, there will be a celebration of Bob’s life and barbeque. Memorial bequests can be made to the 10th Mountain Division Foundation and/or the 10th Mountain Division Descendants Scholarship Program ([email protected]).

King County Council pays tribute to local Korean War veteransFrom staFF reports

With the 60th Anniversary of the end of the Korean War this week, the King County Council recognized the local veterans who fought in what is now commonly known as the “Forgotten War.” According to the county, about 10,000 veterans of the Korean War live in King County, and 55,000 veterans of the war live statewide.

Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, who represents South King County and the large Korean population that lives here, said this recognition is well deserved.

“The legacy of joint service forged between the American veterans of the Korean War and the Korean people has fostered a special relationship between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America, which unites us not only through our common values, but economically and militarily as well,” von Reich-bauer said in a news release. “As a councilmember who represents a large Korean-American population, I am especially pleased to recognize the 60th anniversary of the Korean Armistice, and the incredible sacrifices made by our veterans.”

Young Wan Song, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle, said his country owes a deep debt of gratitude for the sacrifices made 60-plus years ago by America’s fighting forces.

“Today, on behalf of the Korean people and govern-ment, I have the honor to present Ambassador of Peace Medals to Korean War Veterans,” Song said. “They went to rescue South Korea during the Korean War and fought heroically against North Korean aggressors. These heroes are living testimony to our 60 years of alli-ance. ... I sincerely hope that our heroes stay strong and healthy in order to witness a reunified Korea, a dream to be realized in the near future.”

GreGorY cont.: and decision maker. I under-stand the complexity of today’s school systems and the issues they face. My background affords me the skills and knowledge to be an effective member of the Federal Way School Board and I would be honored to represent you in that capacity.education: Bachelor of Education, University of Washington, post graduate work at several universitiesoccupation: Director, Burst for Prosperity, an initiative of Children’s Home SocietyCampaign money: Raised $2,782.78; spent $112Contact: [email protected]: www.facebook.com/CarolGregory-ForFederalWaySchoolBoardPosition4

Medgar WellsQ: If elected, what will be the first thing you try to fix in Federal Way Public Schools?a: Keeping our children safe and providing all our children, not just a few, with a qual-ity education will be my top two priorities as school board director. It’s unfortunate that some children in our district are continually being underserved as evidenced by our low gradua-tion rates. By being on the school board, I hope to stop this injustice because our non-graduates directly impact the health of our community. I believe Federal Way’s strength is its rich diver-sity. We must make it a priority to figure out how to better serve the academic needs of our diverse population of English language learn-ers and students who have been traditionally underserved. Prioritizing the maintenance of our school buildings would also be on my to-do list. In my mind, it is unacceptable for our class-rooms to have worn out carpets and buildings

that are in obvious need of maintenance repairs. The Federal Way School District must play a leading role in early learning. I believe we have a moral obligation to invest in early learning. By investing in early childhood education, the district will inevitably improve student achieve-ment and graduation rates in the years to come. Lastly, I will address the common sense issue of providing more technol-ogy in our classrooms. Our children should be leading the way in the field of technology so they can compete in this global market. This is especially true being that the Northwest is the birthplace of technology and the headquarters of internationally known companies.Q: Why should voters elect you to the school board? What sets you apart from the other candidates?a: Voters should elect me because I have worked with diverse communities my entire career as an educator. I have served in public schools as a principal, assistant principal, elementary and middle school teacher and maintenance worker. These leadership roles and employment experiences have equipped me with a unique and integral perspective of how school districts function. What sets me apart from the other candidates is the fact that because of my recent experience as a school administrator, I bring rel-evant and practical knowledge in addressing the issues facing our schools today. In addition, as a doctoral student, I am abreast of the research, obstacles and pitfalls facing our educational system. This along with my proven record of improving academic achievement as an admin-istrator distinguishes me from my opponents. My passion to see all students maximize their God-given potential is at the crux of why I am running for the school board. Serving others is a mantle handed down to me by my father and mother who were actively involved in the civil

rights moment alongside Medgar Evers. This passion to serve is why I volunteer by teaching life skills class to youth inmates at King County correctional facilities. I also teach an employ-ment skills class to the Federal Way community at my local church. I believe strongly that the children of Federal Way are our future and in-

deed our community’s most valuable asset. Our students deserve the best therefore please join with me in mak-ing our district better. Thank you.education: B.S. (Alcorn State Univer-sity); M.Ed.

specifics that concern candi-dates,” Richardson wrote to Blanchard in an email obtained by The Mirror. “I spoke too quickly as you may have in-tended to discuss the investiga-tion in a general way without discussing specific candidates or allegations. I apologize.”

Richardson’s email reviewed the key findings from the investigation, and concluded with Richardson saying, “my purpose was to protect the city from violating state law.”

Previously, Richardson had also interrupted Federal Way resident Betty Taylor with a “point of order” during citizen comment at the June 4 city council meeting after Taylor mentioned a report in The Mirror about the investigation. Richardson then reiterated the city’s guidelines for citizen comment.

“Pat needs to give me an apology,” Taylor told The Mirror. “We have the right to speak. That situation with the investigation hasn’t been dealt with properly.”

At the beginning of each Federal Way City Council meeting, the mayor asks Rich-ardson to remind the audience that public facilities cannot be used for campaign purposes. The emphasis of the public meeting is to address city policy issues and city business, Richardson said.

Regarding the July 16

council meeting, Blanchard said she was dissatisfied with the investigation’s outcome and had questions regarding the specifics.

“I knew I was going to get shut down,” Blanchard said. “We need a new city attorney.”

No right to public comment?

State law gives Washington citizens the right to attend public meetings. Most govern-ment agencies like the Federal Way City Council allow citizen comments at public meetings, but are not required by law to do so.

Likewise, governments have the right to impose time limits on public comment, and can also limit “inappropriate” or “disruptive” comments.

“An irony of American free speech law is that it provides more protec tion for ranting on a street corner than speak-ing out at a public meeting,” according to a UCLA case law study, which cites a U.S. Supreme Court recognition that “such meetings are venues for administrative business and not just citizen engagement.”

Investigation infoA formal complaint was

filed May 9 by Councilmember Kelly Maloney after a conver-sation she had with Mayor Skip Priest the day before.

The complaint describes a nearly 30-minute meet-

ing in which the mayor was angry, pounding his fist on the desk and “lacing the ‘F’ word throughout his statements as he was yelling.” The complaint alleged the mayor was trying to intimidate Maloney and claimed the mayor also cried.

To investigate the complaint, the city hired attorney Eileen M. Baratuci of Arbitration, Investigation and Mediation (AIM) Services based in Port Townsend.

The 10-page report summa-rizes the attorney’s interviews with Priest, Maloney and peo-ple who may have witnessed the initial confrontation or the mayor’s “direct mode,” a term that Priest uses to describe a harsh style of communication.

The complaint became public when the city released it to the Federal Way Mirror in response to a public records request. The investigator reported a concern that the complaint “was being used for political objectives.”

According to the investiga-tor: “Although I do not make any specific findings about who notified the press of Ms. Maloney’s complaint, the fact that Ms. Maloney told Mayor Priest’s political opponent (Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell) about it raises the possibil-ity that the complaint itself, regardless of the investigative findings, could be used to elicit as much damage politically, as possible, over a single conver-sation.”

eventually filled up with more litter.

From the boardwalk, she spotted a green sphere stuck in the seaweed, and bet on whether it was an apple or a tennis ball. She plunged a hand into the muck and plucked out the latter. This moment of victory came after a moment of self-perceived fail-ure, when Morehouse saw a candy bar wrapper fluttering in the breeze along the yellow line of Redondo Beach Drive as vehicles whirred past. The wrapper was just out of reach from her walking stick. She vowed to pick it up the next day.

Morehouse feels blessed to live near the Sound, and wants others to understand the cumulative harm that comes from dumping a little garbage here and there. The final stop on our walk, before we parted ways, was a sign near Salty’s Restau-rant that said “Please do your part to

control littering.” Below the sign was a garbage can.

Litter lawsIn regards to litter and pollution,

Des Moines Municipal Code notes that state laws are applicable to the city. According to RCW 70.93.060: “No person shall throw, drop, depos-it, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter upon any public property in the state or upon private property in this state not owned by him or her or in the waters of this state whether from a vehicle or otherwise including but not limited to any public highway, public park, beach, campground, forest land, recreational area, trailer park, highway, road, street, or alley.”

According to state law, it is a class 3 civil infraction ($50 fine) “for a person to litter in an amount less than or equal to one cubic foot.” Read more about heftier penalties at federalwaymirror.com.

Sidelines: Ishikawa lives out every kid’s baseball fantasy — plays for Yankees

Everybody has dreams of being a professional athlete.

I don’t care if you were the biggest knob, nerd or dweeb in the world, when you were a kid, you dreamed of playing profes-sional sports. No exceptions.

During the fall, every little boy wanted to play quar-terback for the Green Bay Packers. In winter, you were the starting small forward for the Boston Celtics and spent hours in the driveway count-ing down for the last-second shot — 5…4…3…2…1.

But, during my time as a kid, which

was admittedly a long time ago, the biggest sporting fantasy was to play Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers

were/are the pinnacle. The “gold standard” for all profes-sional franchises to look up to.

Federal Way High School graduate Travis Ishikawa got to actually live out one of those “dreams” last week. Ishikawa got to start a game at first base for the New York

Yankees inside Yankee Stadium, the House that (Babe) Ruth Built.

“Obviously, it doesn’t matter where

you grew up, you’ve heard of the Yan-kees,” Ishikawa told MLB.com after getting picked up by New York. “Just to be a part of it, I’m excited.”

Ishikawa was on his way to church near his home in the San Francisco area on July 7 when he got a call from Yankees general manager Brian Cash-man telling him to get to New York in time for the next day’s game against the Royals. So Ishikawa took the red-eye across the country and was hitting sixth for the Yankees on July 8.

“When you get here, you play,” manager Joe Girardi said before the game. “That’s the bottom line. We’ve

Little League: national ends up in second place

It was a heart-breaking way for the season to end for the Federal Way National Little Leaguers.

The 12-under all-star team lost two-straight games to Eastlake Little League in the championship round of the Washington State Little League

Baseball Tournament Sunday in Vancouver. Eastlake, who Federal Way beat in the opening round of the tournament, now advances to the Northwest Regionals in San Bernardi-no, Calif.

Federal Way advanced to the state championship game for the first time in history after beating Queen Anne Wednesday night at Luke Jensen Park, 7-3. The win forced Eastlake to beat National twice to claim the state title.

After losing their first game of the state tournament to Federal Way, 6-5, Eastlake won eight games in a row to claim the trip to California. Eastlake

The Auburn Valley Summer Tennis League concludes with its postseason tournament on Friday and Monday and Tuesday at Auburn Riverside and Thomas Jefferson high schools.

The league includes 10 differ-ent teams and over 500 kids ages 6 to 18 years old, making the tournament one of the largest in Washington.

Team Buchan Tennis is the only team from the Federal Way area and will have about 50 participants from its team of 120 kids. All four local high schools, Decatur, Federal Way, Jefferson and Beamer, as well as many Federal Way middle and elemen-tary schools, have participants on the team.

On Friday, the boys 14-under and 16-under events will be held at Auburn Riverside, while the 18-under and mixed events will be at Jefferson. On Monday, Au-burn Riverside hosts the 10- and 12-under events and hosts the girls 10-, 12-, 14- and 16-under tournaments on Tuesday. All tournaments begin at 8 a.m. and will go until about 3 p.m. each day. Matches are one set to six games.

Other programs in the league are the Ravens from Auburn Riverside, AuSum from Auburn Mountainview, Reality Sports and

Sumner from the Bonney Lake/Sumner area, the Boeing Tennis Club, Gregory Seahurst Swim and Tennis Club, Kent Swim and Ten-nis Club, Olympic View Swim and Tennis Club and Arbor Heights Swim and Tennis Club.

Team Buchan Tennis is coached by longtime Jefferson tennis coach Andrew Buchan. The team includes seven nephews and one niece of Buchan — Jacob Buchan, Elden Buchan, Jonah Buchan, Kaden Buchan, Evan Buchan, Mia Rosa, Pona Rosa and Kana Rosa are all playing in the tournament this year. Buchan also has another nephew coaching, Makoa Rosa.

• The 13-under Federal Way Knights won the state champion-ship in the Sandy Koufax Baseball League playoffs Wednesday with a 16-8 win over the Snohomish Sox in five innings.

Federal Way fell behind 7-0 be-fore staging a big-time comeback. Eli Graham connected on a grand slam home run in the third in-ning to bring the Knights within three runs and then the Knights scored 10 runs in the fourth with three doubles, four singles and four walks. Garrett Morris hit a walk-off sacrifice fly to win the game and they got great pitching by both Ayden Adams and Tim Hughes.

The Knights earned the berth into the state championship game by winning the National Division

title at Island Crest Park in Mercer Island. The Knights finished 5-0 in the playoffs, which were held July 19-22.

The Knights include Kirin Peterson, Quin Hanson, Jordan Haworth, Tim Hughes, Garrett Morris, Luke Tedrick, Eli Gra-ham, Bodi Tisch, Connor Keene, Tyler Muller, Ayden Adams and Trey Hunt. The team is managed

by Scott Keene and coached by Danny Graham and Joe Haworth.

acquired so many people over the course of the season out of need. When you do that, you need them to play.”

But Ishikawa’s New York Yankee fairytale didn’t last very long at all. In fact, his New York career might have been the shortest in the history of the storied franchise.

Ishikawa got only two at-bats for the Yankees after starting at first base July 8 against the Kan-

sas City Royals. He was designated for assignment by the Yankees on July 11 in order to create a roster spot for Derek Jeter, who, on the other hand, has the most career plate appear-ances as a New York Yankee (10,551).

Since being dropped by the Yankees, Ishikawa has since signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox and is currently playing for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Ishikawa has played in four games in Charlotte and is hitting

.133 with two hits and three RBIs.

New York claimed Ishikawa off waivers after the Baltimore Orioles des-ignated him for assignment on June 29. He batted .118 in 17 at-bats with Baltimore this year, and hit .316 with seven home runs and 31 RBIs for the Orioles triple-A affiliate, Norfolk, this season. Ishikawa is a career .260 hitter over six Major League seasons.

Ishikawa signed the minor-league deal with Bal-timore in the offseason after

a solid year for the Mil-waukee Brewers in 2012. The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder didn’t play a single Major League game in 2011 after a shoulder injury.

Ishikawa mostly served as a pinch-hitter and de-fensive replacement at first base for the Brewers last season after spending nine seasons with the San Fran-cisco Giants’ organization. On the season, Ishikawa hit .257 with four home runs, 30 RBIs and 19 runs in 152 at-bats.

Ishikawa was a San

Francisco draft pick out of Federal Way in 2002 and played 281 games for the team since 2006. He has a lifetime batting average of .264 with 19 home runs, 110 RBIs, 40 doubles in 740 at-bats for San Francisco and Milwaukee.

Ishikawa spent a bulk of the 2009 season as the Giants’ everyday first baseman after an impres-sive spring training. During that season, Ishikawa hit

.261 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs in 120 regular

season games.

• The big news in baseball this week was the suspen-sion of Milwaukee Brewers’ outfielder Ryan Braun for the remainder of the season for using performance-en-

hancing drugs. A baseball player using

PED’s is about as surprising as finding a Starbucks or

McDonalds on a random corner. What is interesting about the Braun case is the fact that he straight-up lied to everyone.

He publicly blasted Dino Laurenzi Jr., the hard-work-ing dude who collected a tainted vial of Braun’s urine 19 months ago and kept it at his house over a week-end. After the assault on Laurenzi, Braun’s 50-game suspension in 2011 was reversed and he was able to play without penalty.

It was during that time that Braun vowed to “bet my life” that the synthetic tes-tosterone in his urine hadn’t ever entered his body.

“I’ve always had tremen-dous respect for the game of baseball,” Braun continued. “I’ve tried to handle the entire situation with honor, with integrity, with class, with dignity and with profes-sionalism because that’s who I am.”

Actually, you are not pro-fessional at all, Ryan. You are exactly what is wrong with pro sports.

[ sidelines from page 18] • Quarterback Laurel Creel

threw three touchdown passes to help the Kent-based Seattle Mist defeat the Las Vegas Sin 52-14 last Saturday in a women’s Legends Foot-ball League game in Las Vegas.

The victory clinched a 4-0 regular season for the Mist and a berth in the playoffs as the Western Confer-ence champion. Seattle opens the playoffs Aug. 24 in Los Angeles against an opponent to be deter-mined.

Mele Rich returned an intercep-tion for a touchdown for the Mist and had two short touchdown runs.

She rushed for 68 yards on nine carries. LaShaunda Fowler had two touchdown receptions.

Las Vegas finished the season with a 1-3 record.

• Emerald Downs will host the EmD 3-On-3 basketball tournament, a two-day hoops extravaganza on 30 courts in the north parking lot.

The inaugural EmD3-On-3 is scheduled for Aug. 10 and 11 – the week before the Longacres Mile – and is expected to attract players from throughout Washington and possibly beyond.

The event is modeled after the successful Hoopfest in Spokane,

which began with 2,000 players in 1990 and has grown to one of the city’s biggest events with nearly 28,000 players and 3,000 volunteers in 2012.

To be held on 30 side-by-side half-courts in the parking lot north of the grandstand, EmD3-On-3 is open to teams and players of all ages and abilities. Cost per team is $120 with each team guaranteed at least three games.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...Phil was born in Portland, Maine, and grew up in

Western Pennsylvania until he enrolled in Penn State University. After three years he was drafted in the Army Air Corps and was shipped o� to Miami Beach. He graduated from O� cers Candidate School and was then stationed in Spokane, Washington. It was there that he met, courted then married Lt. Peggy Austin. At the time she was a dietician in the Air Corps.

After the war, Phil went back to Penn State to � nish his degree in management all the while making several trips to the west coast. He and Peggy married in Seattle and he became a “North Westerner”.

He got hooked on the retail lumber business, moved around a bit, � nally owning his own lumber yard in Federal Way on Hwy. 99 near Federal Way High School.

During his sixty year marriage with Peggy,

they did many things together. Their greatest achievement was three sons, a daughter and six grandchildren plus two great grandchildren. All who are successful in their own right.

Phil and Peggy worked hard to make their business prosper allowing them the time for community activities, golf, bridge and dancing. In their later years, they enjoyed their beach home in Key Center as well as spending many months in Yuma, Arizona and traveling the county. In November of 2011, Phil moved to Village Green Retirement Campus where he currently lives.
