A 2,000-foot fence in Federal Way has been catching eyes for years but not for the right reasons.
The fence along 21st Av-enue Southwest, just south of Southwest 325th Place on the east side, divides a busy street from residential homes, but the white fence has also been home to tag-gers and graffiti artists for years.
Although city mainte-nance crews are diligent about painting over the
very public markings, the fence has been “looking blotchy” lately and was in great need of a makeover.
“Right now, most of it is covered up,” said city Code Compliance Officer John Fairbanks about the graffiti. “When the weather starts to get nice, there will be an uptick.”
In an effort to help keep
Federal Way looking nice and rally the community together, Fairbanks orga-nized Let’s Paint Federal Way, a day-long volunteer-based event to paint the long fence on April 25. The event will be the first beautification/action day in the city’s history.

King County prosecu-tors recently charged the suspect who a Federal Way police officer shot on March 30.
Federal Way resident Christopher Leroy Rober-son, 19, was charged with second-degree assault and attempted robbery on April 1.
His bail was set at $100,000.
Court documents allege Roberson approached a man waiting at a bus stop early one morning and demanded money.
The two were near the park and ride in the 27200 block of Pacific Highway S.
According to court docu-ments, the victim refused to hand over his cell phone or money and the suspect punched him.
Roberson allegedly grabbed the man’s cell phone but the victim was able to get away by using the bus shelter to escape. During this time, court documents state Roberson began punching the shelter with his fists. The suspect ran after the victim as he called 911.
Federal Way police officer Benjamin Tseng, a 17-year veteran, and another officer responded to the call.
Court documents state Roberson confronted Tseng with a “kitchen, or steak-type, knife” in his fist.
“The defendant refused repeated commands by the officer to drop the knife and refused to cooperate with the officer’s directives,” the documents continue. “The defendant ran at the officer

Decatur High students grieve loss of student who died in crashBY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Decatur High School counselors were on hand this week to
help students grieving the death of a junior who died in an unexplained car ac-cident last Friday.
Heidy Morales, 18, drove
her SUV through a guard-rail and off the L Street overpass into rush hour traffic on Interstate 5 near the Tacoma Dome on April 10.
The crash killed Morales but her vehicle did not hit any other cars.
“Our hearts go out to the family and to all who are suffering with this loss,” said Decatur Principal David Bowers in a phone message the district sent out to Decatur families on Saturday notifying them of Morales’s
death. “As Gators we stand together, mourn together and comfort one another through this difficult time.”
The district’s crisis re-sponse team was at Deca-tur throughout the week, providing grief counseling for students at the school library, said Federal Way Public Schools spokeswom-
an Ann Cook. “It’s always difficult,
it’s always hard and this [incident] has been so high profile,” said Cook, who was at the school Monday morn-ing and noted some students came to the library to speak with counselors.
She said Decatur teachers personally called family
members over the weekend, who were “very devastated.”
“Staff and the principal are reaching out to the family to provide whatever assistance they can,” Cook added. “The school will monitor and support kids as needed throughout the week.”

King County Sheriff ’s Office investigators suspect distracted
driving is responsible for a fatal collision Monday night in unincorporated Kent.
Police believe a 25-year-old Maple Valley man
looked down at his phone as his vehicle drifted into on-coming traffic and crashed head-on into another car, whose driver — a 25-year-old Federal Way woman — died at the scene, according to a Sheriff ’s Office media release.
Sherri White died from injuries suffered in the acci-
dent, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, which identified White on Tuesday.
The accident occurred at about 7:50 p.m. in the 20200 block of 148th Ave. SE near Lake Youngs, when a Ford sedan crossed the centerline and collided with a Honda Civic coming the opposite direction. The Ford driver was alone in his car.
Two passengers in the Honda were seriously injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Sheriff ’s Of-fice said the two passengers were each in their 20s but it has not released their sexes or hometowns.
The driver of the Ford, who investigators believe took his eyes off the road to look down at his phone, had no reported injury. The Sheriff ’s Office major accident response and re-construction detectives are investigating. No arrest has
been made at this time.“We at the Sheriff ’s Office
urge drivers to minimize distractions while driving, as this sad incident reminds us of the potential cost,”
the Sheriff ’s Office stated in its media release. “No text message, phone call or so-cial media update is worth the damage done by taking your eyes off the road.”
The Kent Fire Depart-ment Regional Fire Author-ity, King County Medic One and the Renton Fire Depart-ment also responded to the accident.

The car accident last Friday forced the closure of all but one lane on I-5, and caused a 12-mile backup from South 288th Street in Federal Way to the Tacoma Dome, said Washington State Department of Trans-portation officials.
Tacoma police were un-clear what caused Morales to swerve off the overpass. According to the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, her cause of death was due to multiple blunt force and crush injuries.
Known as a “delight” to Decatur teachers and students, Morales was a student in the Federal Way Public Schools since the first grade, Cook said. She attended Decatur for the last year-and-a-half and, prior to that, was enrolled at Federal Way High School. She also
attended the Washington Youth Academy in Bremer-ton during her first semester this year.
“Heidy started her sophomore year at Lincoln High School in Tacoma and transferred to us during her sophomore year,” said Rex Tucker, assistant principal at Decatur. “She worked very hard and was willing to do anything she could to gradu-ate on time, even though Decatur was her third school in a year-and-a-half because her parents were moving around for jobs.”
Tucker said Morales’s parents were supportive of her when she came to Decatur and they spoke with him about how Morales could catch up on credits. This is why she attended the Washington Youth Acad-emy, where she was able to obtain several extra credits
in one semester. “She did really well there,”
Tucker noted, adding that Morales was a “fighter” and “tenacious.” “She was never afraid to do the extra work to try and stay caught up on credits to graduate on time because she had plans after high school.”
Morales planned to participate in the Running Start program her senior year at a community college and eventually transfer to a four-year college after high school.
Principal David Brower and Tucker met with the school’s yearbook class dur-ing first period on Monday to speak with them about their fellow classmate, who was enrolled in the class. The students, mostly juniors, spoke about potentially creating a memorial page for Morales in this year’s
yearbook, Tucker said.The school will also have a
banner available for students to sign and write comments in Morales’s memory to her family.
Tucker added that this is another tough year for Decatur Gators, as this is the second year in a row that they’ve lost a student mid-year. Last year, senior Dom Cooks died of brain cancer.
Brower said news of this kind can affect students in a variety of ways, “ranging from disbelief, to anger, to deep sorrow.”
He encourages parents to speak to their students and watch for signs that they may need additional support in understanding this loss. Parents who feel their students would benefit from extra support can call Decatur’s main office at 253-945-5200.

and shots were fired.”Tseng broadcast on his
radio at 6:51 a.m., “Drop the knife.” Several radio transmissions, such as com-mands to drop the knife and get on the ground, fol-lowed over the next several seconds.
“I was able to review the audio recording of the incident,” said Steven Ivey, a detective of Port of Seattle Police Department, who is involved in the investiga-tion. “Officer Tseng can be heard ordering Roberson to drop the knife three times in the first eight seconds of his broadcast. As officer Tseng is giving orders, his voice sounded elevated and
stressed, each command is louder and more forceful than the previous one.”
Officer Sederberg arrived on scene after the suspect ran across Pacific Highway South. As he approached the two, he drew his firearm and stopped 10 feet away. He could not see the sus-pect’s right hand but heard Tseng ordering him to drop the knife. Roberson, who was seated, allegedly raised his right hand as he held the knife. Sederberg also ordered him to drop the knife as Tseng deployed his Taser.
“Roberson screamed, stood up, started to run south, changed direction and then ran north,” the
documents state. “Roberson turned west and ran down into the parking lot and ran straight into a wooden fence.”
The fence split and the suspect’s foot became caught between two sec-tions. According to the de-tective, Tseng caught Rober-son’s foot as he attempted to flee and tased him again.
The suspect yelled that he would drop the knife and then he threw it onto a grassy area on the other side of the fence.
Roberson was treated for one gunshot wound to the left hip and one to the lower left leg at the scene and taken to Harborview Medi-cal Center.
Roberson has two juve-nile offenses — possession of illegal drugs in 2010 and
third-degree theft in 2011.The officer-involved
shooting component is still
being investigated as the of-ficer is on paid administra-tive leave, a standard policy.
[ SHOOTING from page 1]
Q: Mr. Federal Way, could you list the sala-
ries of major city employ-ees? The salaries might help to explain why our property taxes are so much higher than they were in the early 1980s. This request was prompted by the article about the communications coordinator being “let go.”
A: Mr. Federal Way couldn’t say if city salaries are linked to property taxes. Mr. Federal Way does know that King County property owners have until April 30 to pay the first half of their 2015 property taxes. But Mrs. Federal Way already took care of that for the Federal Way household.
To answer your question, Mr. Federal Way obtained the salary information for the city’s major employees.
Here are the 2015 salaries for the city’s eight directors:
• Performing Arts and Conference Center director, $117,996
• Community develop-ment director, $130,008
• Finance director, $138,036
• Parks director, $138,036
• City attorney, $140,076• Economic development
director, $142,104• Public Works director,
$150,216• Police chief, $157,920The city also
employs five support staff positions for the mayor’s of-fice, including:
• Adminis-trative support (temp posi-tion), $12 per hour
• Community outreach coordinator, $31.25 per hour
• Executive assistant to the mayor, $59,340
• Communications and government affairs coordi-nator, $101,592
• Chief of staff, $157,920Several staff salaries, un-
like Mr. Federal Way’s, also went up substantially from 2013 to 2015. So who got raises? The city attorney now makes $7,392 more this year; the finance director, $16,188 more; the police chief, $22,536; the communica-tions coordinator, $19,452; and the executive assistant
to the mayor, $3,728. That equates to $69,296 in raises for five positions. Mr. Fed-eral Way imagines that the raises have something to do with the city ensuring mod-
ern day salaries keep pace with and are comparable to the market. But the raises are a drop in the bucket com-pared to the cost of the new positions the city is funding this year.
Keep in mind that several years ago, former Mayor Skip Priest cut staff positions in response to the economy. For example, he combined planning and economic development responsibilities under one director. But May-or Jim Ferrell dug into city coffers and restructured the Economic Development and Community Development departments last June, which included hiring two new directors to oversee each de-partment. In addition, Fer-rell split up Parks and Public Works responsibilities under two different directors. He also created two new staff
positions, including chief of staff and the Performing Arts and Conference Center director.
Mr. Federal Way is not a mathematician, but these positions amount to increased salary costs of over $543,000. That doesn’t in-clude the re-addition of four positions in the Community Development Department the council approved last April. The city estimated that the developmental specialist position would cost the city $63,586 annually; the associ-ate planner position, $77,485 a year; building inspector, $79,240; and code compli-ance officer, $73,757. That’s a grand total of $294,068 for the four positions.
This list is not exhaustive of all raises and new posi-tions and is only a glimpse of what Mr. Federal Way has garnered rom reading the Mirror and compiling information from staff. But a hefty new $1 million in spending for the city this year better amount to more benefits for the community. Mr. Federal Way will watch to see if these new faces at
City Hall will rake in more businesses, crack down on code violators and ensure things such as our parks are in top-notch condition.
Q: Mr. Federal Way, did Federal Wayans donate enough money to make you leave the Mirror?
A: Last month, Mr. Feder-al Way challenged residents to oust the Mirror’s most beloved columnist, and Mr. Federal Way is not talking about Mr. Bob Roegner.
Mr. Federal Way asked all 91,000 Federal Way residents to each donate a buck, which the Mirror will donate to Sound Alliance, who are trying to build a day shelter for the home-less in Federal Way. Mr. Federal Way pledged that if the Mirror collects $91,000, this columnist would stop writing in these pages. Did the Mirror reach their goal? Not even close. But Mr. Federal Way is touched that several people donated to the cause and asked him to keep writing, while others said they wouldn’t donate money because they don’t want to see a talented columnist go.
“Please, please don’t go away,” wrote one resident who mailed in $1. “Your words grate on the black-board every now and then. But, we do need them!”
In total, the Mirror raised $24 — $21 of which came from two elected officials. This doesn’t surprise Mr. Federal Way, as 99 percent of his words are critical of elected officials.
So Mr. Federal Way is here to stay. And if you still want to donate to the cause, the Mirror’s editor will keep a jar on her desk for a couple more weeks in case you want to come into the office, throw a dollar in the jar to benefit the homeless or throw more encouraging words Mr. Federal Way’s way.
Q: Mr. Federal Way, do you plan to help paint Federal Way on April 25 to make up for all of the sly innuendos you’ve smeared across these pages?
A: None of your business.
Email your question to [email protected].

Federal Way Mirror circulation manager Eddie McClain worked on Saturdays be-cause he loved people.
If readers didn’t receive their newspaper on Friday, many knew to call Eddie, who freely gave out his cell phone number so that he could personally deliver people’s newspapers on Saturday.
Eddie passed away on March 26 from natural causes at the age of 40.
“All of his work family at the Mirror will miss Eddie tremendously,” said publisher Rudi Al-cott. “The tender age of 40 is much too young. Your smile, generous laugh and personality will never be duplicated. Godspeed, my friend, Godspeed.”
He said that shortly after Eddie started at the Mirror a few years ago, he came into his office and plopped down in a chair, all dejected.
“I asked him what was up and he said that he checked his voicemail and had a complaint from a subscriber,” Alcott recalled. “I asked him how many and he said, ‘just one boss.’”
He told Eddie that just one complaint wasn’t too bad and to go take care of it.
“That was Eddie in a nutshell. One or a thou-sand complaints was simply not good enough for him,” Alcott said. “One was as bad as a thousand and he strived for complete accuracy … This is a quality in an employee that you automatically come to admire. One that Eddie did without remiss.”
Everyone at the Mirror and those in the com-munity who met Eddie knew him as a kindred soul.
I remember one afternoon I was chatting with the editorial staff about the community groups who hope to build a day shelter for the homeless in Federal Way. Eddie — who was rarely at his desk, as he was usually out in the community
No excuses for not exercising
We all have observed people with arthritis or other medical issues that make exercise painful, so they stop and end up sitting too much.
Once, having a physical disability meant you couldn’t do so many things, like use playground equipment. That’s why the Federal Way Rotary’s contribution of a wheelchair “merry-go-round” at Steel Lake Family Funland was such a good idea; it provided a way for kids in wheelchairs to par-ticipate with the others.
People who might not think they can exercise may find there are also opportu-nities for them at the Federal Way Community Center. Observe the recreation pool in the mornings and you will see people with leg problems or arthritis able to water-walk, letting the water’s buoyancy take some of the stress off of their sore joints and let them get some exercise. This pool has one portion with a beach-like slope, so those who have problems walking can get into the water without using stairs or ladders. With cor-rect equipment and proper preparation, even folks in wheelchairs can get in the pool, and the users have looked pretty happy when floating and swimming in the water. How freeing it must be for them to not have to rely on a wheelchair to move around.
Last week, I noticed that there was a brand new piece of equipment upstairs, an
exercise machine with a wheelchair ramp. A few days later a sight-challenged man who needed a white cane to find his way around was riding a stationary bike after the weight room attendant told him how to use it. This sort of event negates any excuses you might have for not exercising.
I applaud the Federal Way Community Center’s work to ensure people with dis-abilities can use some, if not all of, the equipment and features there. I hope those who would like to get some exercise, or know people who might not ask for themselves, will contact the community center and see if they can be accommodated.Margaret Nelson, Federal Way
Vote ‘yes’ for firefighters
I am asking you to join our community in voting
“yes” for Proposition 1 to continue to support our firefighters. As your elected official, my No. 1 priority is that we take care of our fire-fighters and our police of-ficers. I believe that in order for them to do their job in the best possible way, they will need the best tools.
I want to thank the Fed-eral Way Mirror editorial board for endorsing the measure.
“Federal Way’s popula-tion is expected to rise, as three apartment complexes, two senior living centers, one town home complex, a school and two businesses are currently in the works …,” according to the edito-rial board. “In addition, the district needs upgrades to its existing fire stations. Most of the agency’s sta-tions are over 40 years old, and because they are not retrofitted for earthquakes, the facilities could collapse during such a disaster. A ‘yes’ vote would ensure
that the fire district has top-notch equipment and facilities to be able to pro-vide us with the best service as possible. Not only do firefighters respond to calls for fire, they also provide emergency medical help.”
This is exactly why I am voting yes for Proposition 1. The need is there and for a growing commu-nity, it is vitally important that we are able to offer the best quality service to our residents. We need to ensure that our firefighters are equipped with the right tools. We are bound to grow and that will happen. As we look towards the future, we must start to prepare for it right now by voting yes on Proposition 1 to improve emergency response for cardiac and fire, firefighter safety, technology upgrades, vehicle facilities moderniza-tion and new engines and aid cars. Please join me in voting for Proposition 1 by April 28. Martin Moore, councilman
Mayor Jim Ferrell is fond of accomplishing historical firsts. If the City Council follows through on banning marijuana-related businesses in the city, Ferrell may veto the motion. It would be the first mayoral veto in the four years we have had a strong mayoral form of government.
But Ferrell also faces the prospect of being the first mayor to have his veto overridden. History aside, what does Ferrell gain by that action? And, why would the council want to ignore the wishes of a majority of the people who elected them?
When the issue was on the ballot, 53 percent of city voters voted to legalize mari-juana. The council motion in favor of the ban passed 5-2, with Deputy Mayor Jeanne
Burbidge and Councilwoman Lydia Assefa-Dawson, Kelly Maloney and Councilmen
Martin Moore and Bob Celski in the majority. Councilwoman Susan Honda and Dini Duclos voted against the motion. The issue will be before the council for a second reading and another vote at the April 21 council meeting. The same 5-2 vote to ban marijuana businesses in the city is expected.
If Ferrell does veto the council action, the council would need five votes at the first council meeting in May to override his veto and move the ban into law. Since five voted for it, it would appear an override is likely. Most council watchers thought the issue would pass 4-3, with Moore following his

bustling about helping to deliver newspapers — asked if we knew any of the regu-lar homeless folks who line Pacific Highway South.
One of the those home-less people, Eddie explained, is a pregnant woman who regularly stands at the cor-ner of Enchanted Parkway South and 320th Street.
The first time Eddie saw the woman, he parked his car, walked over to her and handed her a sandwich. He told us the woman was so happy that she cried and told him how hungry she was and how difficult it was to find something to eat.
Eddie said he went back several times to check on her, and to bring her bagged lunches or dinners.
This is how I will always remember Eddie — a man with a heart of gold.
“He was universally liked by all that had the pleasure of knowing him,” Alcott said. “He had that teddy bear quality, with the persona to match that all of us hope to achieve and very few do.”
Eddie was born in West Virginia as the oldest of four children and grew up in North Pole, Alaska. He also spent time in northern California, and Hawaii with his grandparents before eventually residing in Wash-ington, where he lived for the last several years.
With a love of the out-doors, Eddie often dreamed of owning a cabin by the lake. He enjoyed fishing,
camping, building fires and sitting outside to enjoy the stars, his family said.
He loved children and was a mentor to many.
Eddie is survived by his mother Kim McClain, sis-ters Michelle Colborn and Jenney McClain, brother Judah McClain, three neph-ews and two nieces.
A celebration of life service will be held for Eddie from 11 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. on Saturday, April 18 at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Auburn.
The Mirror and many in the Federal Way community will greatly miss Eddie.
There is a picture that will forever be fixed in our minds of him standing on the beach on a recent trip that he took to Hawaii.
The picture is shot from behind and Eddie, with his hands in his pockets, is
looking out over the Pacific to a beautiful sunset.
This is Eddie at his finest — taking it all in and loving life.
“He came back from that trip energized and ready to enjoy life,” Alcott recalled. “No one knows when our time on Mothership Earth will be due up. I only hope that my life will be as fulfill-ing as what Eddie showed us his was to him.” Eddie McClain with his relative. McClain died at age 40. Contributed photo

previous position of opposing the ban. But he switched sides, providing the crucial fifth vote.
Ferrell is in an awkward political position. He switched parties to become a Democrat when he ran for mayor, and the Democrats have been strong in support of marijuana legalization. Also, Ferrell has upset some key Democrats by, among other things, giving the key to the city to a Republican candidate for the state Legislature. Had he waited until after the election, it might not have been a problem. But right now it is a serious problem.
Additionally, Ferrell was not a leader supporting marijua-na. That’s unsurprising since he is a former county prosecu-tor. But he is up for re-election in two years and needs to show that he listens to the voters.
Honda and Duclos are up for election this year and want to follow the voters’ wishes. Celski isn’t running for re-election and most City Hall watchers don’t expect Burbidge to run again in two years. They can vote however they want with no political repercussions.
Democrat Assefa-Dawson supported some Republican candidates last year, which provided an opening for fellow Democrat Anthony Murietta to run against her. Marijuana provides a key difference between the two candidates for voters to consider.
Maloney isn’t up this year and Moore has withdrawn from
running for the Legislature, so neither face immediate voter reaction. Both are Republicans and their party generally op-poses marijuana anyway.
Both Moore and Maloney have commented that they believe if a vote were held today, legalization would fail. How-ever, others argue that, unlike golf, we don’t get mulligans and the majority voters’ wishes are how we decide elections in a democracy.
From Ferrell’s point of view, if he vetoes the council’s ban, he keeps faith with the voters and his new party, the Demo-crats. And if the council overrides his veto and the ban is up-held, he may also think he wins again, because that is closer to his personal belief and it helps him with some conservative voters. Right? Wrong!
Not only would that look like duplicity to the voters, but any mayor whose veto is overridden looks weak as a leader. Generally, it isn’t good for the city’s top elected official, who also has aspirations for higher office, to look weak to 53 per-cent of his own voters, let alone the rest of the region’s voters.
If Ferrell does veto the action, it becomes critical that his action is not overridden. He needs a win in the “listening to voters” department. He ran on a platform of wanting a public vote on the Performing Arts and Conference Center. The issue divided the community for a decade and still does because many voters feel they never got their chance to vote on such a big issue. Many voters feel ignored and left out
because once in office, Ferrell never put a resolution in front of the council to call for a public vote and allow the voters to put closure to the issue.
And if Ferrell was willing to look out for voters, he should have chosen the performing arts center public vote, not mari-juana. If Ferrell loses this issue, rather than solve his political dilemma, it actually multiplies his problems.
He also can’t just let the council action on the ban stand without his signature or he also looks weak. Ferrell only wins if he can find one of the five council members who will not vote to override his veto. If it passes 4-3, Ferrell’s veto stands and he wins. Every mayor faces a “must win” event early in their tenure. This is such a moment for Ferrell. Establishing his leadership for the long run is that important.
Some council members are gaining a reputation for ignor-ing the voters and feel justified in setting the election results aside on this issue, as they they think voters might feel differ-ently now than they did last fall. They believe an election “do over” would show that. Interesting idea. Assuming they don’t want to redo their own elections, but really want to demon-strate that they do listen to, and trust voters, then let’s put their theory to the test.
Put both marijuana and the performing arts center on the fall ballot at the same time. Then follow the voters’ wishes. What do you think the result would be?

Voice your displeasure of council’s ban on pot stores
At the last council meeting, I sat and observed in stunned silence as a handful of individuals yielded to their personal preferences and not their duty to represent their constituents.
More than two years ago, voters by a wide margin both across the state and in the city voted to approve Initiative 502, which legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes and directed the state to regulate its production and distribution. Despite this unambiguous statement from the people they represent, the Federal Way City Council has felt it appropriate to usurp the public’s right to self-governance and ban retail marijuana stores in the city.
Western states, including Washington, established initiative systems to combat the political elite’s intransigence and the lack of responsiveness, as seen on the East Coast. More than a century ago Washington voters overwhelmingly chose to empower themselves and future Washingtonians to take an active role in determining the future of their state.
Despite, and perhaps in spite of, the will of their constitu-ents, five of our City Council members effectively chose to nullify their votes due to a personal aversion to marijuana. I share their aversion, but don’t confine it to only marijuana. I’ve never consumed marijuana, nor have I smoked a ciga-rette, nor drank a beer, but don’t wish to push my teetotaling
ways on the rest my community. I, and the majority of voters, decided that decades of marijuana prohibition worked as well as alcohol prohibition; a system that turned citizens who only mildly harmed themselves into criminals and opened the door to a pervasive unregulated and untaxed black market administered by homicidal organized crime organi-zations. It was time for change. And the council’s response? Mealy-mouthed platitudes about values and image. Is it the contention these city council members have cornered the market on values and, without them, the city’s voters would elect to descend into self-destruction? They’re saving the city’s residents from itself — at least in their minds.
With more than two-thirds of Americans living in a state with legalized marijuana for recreational or medical pur-poses, the council’s actions to ban both recreational or medi-cal stores in the city looks more like a backwards, quixotic crusade than a prudent action by level-headed caretakers of the community’s aims and vision for itself.
Not only have they voted to create a hardship for residents in seeking access to markets they voted for, but they have also created a hardship for their residents in accessing needed medicine by banning medical marijuana stores despite it be-ing approved by Washington voters more than 16 years ago. I’m left wondering if callousness to the suffering of others is also considered a “value.”
I ask that all readers of the Mirror who oppose the council’s decision to subvert the democratic process to join me in voic-ing their displeasure at next Tuesday’s meeting, when it again
will be up to a vote.Richard Champion, Federal Way
Smoke weed all you want, councilwoman says
I voted to ban recreational marijuana businesses from the city of Federal Way because of a host of issues that have not yet been resolved by the state and federal governments. But smoking marijuana in the city is not part of the ban.
Under Initiative 502, residents over 21-years-old are legally permitted to own and use marijuana within city limits, provided they adhere to the rules of the law, such as owning no more than one ounce at a time and using it in non-public places. There has been a lot of confusion about what I-502 provides for, leading to a great deal of community debate. Some people believe this is prohibition. It is not. It is legal to smoke recreational marijuana in the city.
Some people believe the vote was idealogical. For me, it was not. I voted based on pragmatic reasons, which I list below. Some people believe this could be an undue hardship on those seeking to purchase recreational marijuana. Because of the locations of the zones that have been identified for these businesses, a good portion of the population is probably located closer to recreational stores in other cities than they would be if Federal Way were to have them here.

have already committed to helping.
“When I started doing
this project, people came out of the woodwork,” Fair-banks said. “Hopefully this is the first of many.”
Fairbanks said he has about 40 volunteers from the Korean American Parents Association, many
from the Army recruits on delayed enlistment, Key Clubbers, church-goers and even a police officer. Mayor Jim Ferrell will also attend, he said.
“My fear now is there’s too many volunteers,” Fair-banks said.
But longtime volunteer Shel-ley Pauls and her husband had the idea to bring lawn mowers and take a group of volunteers to the West Way park.
“It’s really important for Federal Way because I totally believe that beautifi-cation is a wonderful thing for any city,” Pauls said. “… It’s just an old fence that needs some TLC.”
Pauls has also helped with the event by calling a KIND snack bar represen-tative to donate treats for the volunteers in addition to helping Fairbanks pro-mote the event.
“We’ll have something for everybody to do,” he said, adding that a lot of pre-planning went into this
project.Ski’s Painting in
Kent donated 27 five-gallon pails of paint for the fence at no cost.
A five-gallon pail of paint can cost anywhere from $100 to $150, Fair-banks said, noting
Ski’s Painting donated paint to the cities of Kent and SeaTac in the past also.
Fairbanks said his coworker’s husband works at the company and helped assist in the donations that will last the city mainte-nance crews well into the future.
“Once this fence is painted, if it’s re-graffitied, we can cover it with the same color,” Fairbanks said. “Taggers will then move on to another area.”
Fairbanks said while
many people think graffiti and tagging is gang-related, it’s not.
“Mac and DZERT are not gang associated,” he said, referring to various styles of graffiti. “We get more gang tags over by the Dollar Tree.”
Fairbanks said Advanc-ing Leadership has helped donate painting supplies and the Federal Way Costa Vida will donate 200 tacos for volunteers for lunch.
Water and snacks will also be provided. Fairbanks recommends wearing painting clothes, sturdy shoes or boots and a paint brush.
The day will be broken up in two painting shifts. The first shift will go from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the second shift will begin at 12:30 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. Volunteers are encour-aged to meet at the Federal Way Public Schools build-ing, located at 33250 21st Ave. SW in Federal Way. Each volunteer will need to sign a liability release waiver for safety reasons.

State auditor Troy Kelley indicted on 10 chargesFROM STAFF REPORTS
A U.S. Grand Jury in Seattle has returned a 10-count indict-ment on Thursday against state Auditor Troy X. Kelley for his alleged scheme to keep stolen money and hide it from both the IRS and those due a refund related to their purchase of a home or refinance of a home mortgage, announced acting U.S. At-torney Annette L. Hayes.
The majority of the criminal conduct detailed in the indictment spans years prior to Kelley’s election to statewide office.
However, some of the criminal conduct detailed in the indict-ment occurred following his election. The 50-year-old Tacoma resident was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Tacoma on Thursday, after the Mirror’s publishing deadline
“Mr. Kelley spun a web of lies in an effort to avoid paying his
taxes and keep more than a mil-lion dollars that he knew did not belong to him, but instead should have been returned to thousands of homeowners across this state,” Hayes said. “I commend the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation for their diligent work to piece together the voluminous records that form the
basis for the charges in this case.”
According to the indict-ment, between 2003 and 2008, Kelley operated a business that was paid by real estate title compa-nies to track documents related to real estate sales and refinancings. Kelley had agreements with
those companies for the fees he could charge in connection with the document-tracking work.
While the title companies withheld $100-$150 on each loan to pay the fee, the bulk of the money was to be returned to the borrower with Kelley’s company being paid $15-$20 per transac-tion. However, the indictment alleges, in most cases, Kelley kept the entire amount withheld on each loan resulting in more than $2 million in stolen money.
This conduct is the basis for count one of the indictment: Pos-session and concealment of stolen property. When the amount with-held by title companies became the subject of civil litigation, the indictment alleges Kelley obstructed the litigation, repeat-edly lying in a declaration and in depositions while under oath. For this conduct, Kelley is charged with four counts of false declara-tions and one count of attempted obstruction of a civil lawsuit.
Further, the indictment alleges Kelley failed to pay federal taxes and obstructed the IRS in its efforts to collect taxes from him. He was charged with corrupt in-terference with Internal Revenue laws and two counts of filing false income tax returns. He was also charged with making false state-ments to Internal Revenue Service agents who questioned him about his scheme in April 2013.
“Today’s action demonstrates our collective efforts to enforce the law,” stated special agent in charge Teri Alexander of IRS Criminal Investigation. “IRS [Criminal Investigation] is com-mitted to unraveling the complex financial transactions individuals might use to attempt to conceal
their taxable income. To build faith in our tax system, hon-est taxpayers must be confident that everyone is paying their fair share.”
“The public deserves integrity and honesty from elected offi-cials,” said special agent in charge Frank Montoya, Jr., of the FBI’s Seattle Division “For that reason, identifying and investigating public corruption is a top priority for the FBI.”
Possession and concealment of stolen property is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Attempt-ed obstruction of civil litigation is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. False declarations and false statements are punishable by up to five years in prison. The remaining charges are punishable by up to three years in prison.
King County teams with used clothing collectorsFROM STAFF REPORTS
King County and Seattle Public Utilities have launched Thread-cycle, a new joint effort to reduce the estimated 40,000 tons of clothes, shoes and linens that area
residents and businesses send to landfills each year.
The campaign, which partners with eight area organizations that collect used clothes, shoes and linens for reuse or recycling, aims to educate the public about the wide range of conditions in which those items are accepted.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the average person throws away 70 pounds of clothing per year; up to 95 percent of the used clothes, shoes and lin-ens thrown in the garbage could have been reused or recycled.
To give new life to these materi-als and decrease the amount of textiles that end up in landfills, the Threadcycle campaign is partnering with nine organiza-tions and businesses to educate the public. Campaign partners who accept clothes, shoes and linens in any condition except wet, mildewed, or contaminated with hazardous materials are: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound, Seattle Goodwill, North-west Center, Salvation Army Fam-ily Thrift Stores, SightConnection, TexGreen, USAgain, and Value Village.

Police recognize volunteers FROM STAFF REPORTS
National Volunteer Week (April 12-18) is meant to inspire, recognize, and encourage volunteerism. The Federal Way Police Department looks forward to this week each year as an opportunity to say thank you and show apprecia-tion to the nearly 50 police department volunteers by hosting a luncheon at City Hall.
These volunteers put in thousands of hours each year helping to provide a higher level of service to the Federal Way commu-nity — everything from fingerprinting to picking up shopping carts to greeting and assisting visitors at City Hall.
Once a year during Na-tional Volunteer Week, the police department holds a luncheon to show apprecia-tion and recognize individ-ual achievements. This year two volunteers, Don Elya and Michael Redling, were awarded the Community Policing Partnership Award for reaching 500 hours of
volunteer service. For additional informa-
tion regarding the many volunteer opportunities with the Federal Way Police Department, contact vol-unteer coordinator Laurie Jackson at [email protected] or 253-835-6788.

FORMER FEDERAL WAY ATHLETE MAKES
NATIONAL NEWSMeron Simon, a former student-
athlete at Federal Way High School and current student-
athlete at the University of Washington was in the national
spotlight this week after winning a 3,000 meter steeplechase
event in Oregon. Simon raced by a University of
Oregon runner, who celebrated prematurely, to win the race. The highlight was shown on multiple
news outlets, including ESPN.
Todd Beamer softball closing in on postseason againBY TERRENCE HILL
A year after finishing 12-5 and earning their second trip to
the state playoffs, the Todd Beamer softball team is looking like a solid pick to make it three years straight.
The Titans cruised to a 12-0 win over Kent-Merid-ian on Tuesday bringing their record to 8-2 overall and 7-1 in league play.
The game was well in hand for Beamer quickly as they jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first inning.
Starting junior pitcher Kenzie Palmer struck out five of the six batters she faced. Senior Madison Rogers added another three strikeouts in relief.
The game ended after the fifth inning due to the mercy rule.
As the Titans close in on the halfway mark of their season, they look like a team ready to go further than
the teams from the last two years.
Their two losses have come to Tahoma and Woodinville this season. Those teams also have one thing in common: They’re both undefeated.
The two losses came by
scores of 4-3 and 4-2, mak-ing it hard to believe that the Titans aren’t capable of winning against the top competition in the state.
Beyond those two games, the Titans’ wins have all come by at least three runs, besides a 10-9 win over a
feisty Federal Way team on April 7 and Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Decatur. In that time, they have shut out four opponents.
Rogers has a 7-2 record on the season as a pitcher as of April 14. She also cur-rently has an ERA hovering
near 2.5 and over 50 strike-outs on the season. Rogers also is currently batting over .400 and leads the team in RBIs.
Jourdin Hering, daughter of Beamer head coach Brian Hering, is second on the team in RBIs and has a bat-ting average near .600.
Collectively, the team is batting well over .300.
The team will face each South Puget Sound League North school once more to close the season. They com-pleted the second of their two games against Kentlake for the year on Thursday, after the Mirror’s publishing deadline.
While every game is important, the April 28 rematch against Tahoma might determine the division and give another glimpse of just how far these girls can go. The Titans will take the field again on April 21 at home against Ken-tridge, whom they beat 7-4 on March 30.
Madison Rogers pitched two innings for Todd Beamer against Kent-Meridian and struck out three of the batters she faced. She also homered in the fifth inning. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror
Brilhante back at Todd BeamerFROM STAFF REPORTS
Brent Brilhante was hired as the boys basketball
coach at Todd Beamer High School on April 15.
Brilhante previously coached the Titans from 2008-2010.
The Titans reached the state playoffs for the first
time under Brilhante in 2008-09. He resigned after the 2009-10 season due to personal reasons.
Brilhante takes over for Winston Bell, who helped lead the Titans to the state
semifinals in 2014.That team would have the
highest placing in school history after finishing fifth in 4A. Beamer finished 12-12 with a 6-2 record in league play this season.
They placed second in the SPSL Northwest.
The Titans made it to the West Central District Tour-nament this past season where they were eliminated by Bellarmine Prep.

He has been a varsity golfer all four years he has attended Decatur. He also has been the top ranked golfer on the team.
Clapp has been a South Puget Sound League all-league golfer since he was a freshman at Decatur. He has made the first team in each of the past three seasons. This year he finished ranked as the number two golfer in 4A South Puget Sound League.
At the 2014 South Puget Sound League Medalists Tournament, Clapp finished in fourth place, improving on his fifth place finish at the 3A South Puget Sound League Medalists Tourna-ment in 2013.
He has competed in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association state tournament the past two
seasons and has finished tied for 17th and ninth, re-spectively. He will compete again this year from May 27-28 in Spokane.
Outside of the Gators golf team, Clapp has partici-pated in numerous tourna-ments in Washington, California and Arizona.
His most recent tourna-ment was a Rocky Moun-tain Junior Golf Tour event at the Trophy Lake Golf Club in Port Orchard on April 4-5. Clapp won the event with a two-day com-bined score of 146 (72 on day one, 74 on day two).
Since July 2013, Clapp

Four Federal Way schools win state’s highest honorFROM STAFF REPORTS
Four Federal Way schools were among a total of 401 schools that earned Washington Achievement Awards for 2014. Award-winning schools were notified last week via email by state Superintendent Randy Dorn and state board of education chair Isabel Muñoz-Colón.
The Washington Achievement Award recipients are the highest performing schools in the state based on three years of academic information as reported in the Wash-ington Achievement Index. The index was approved for use in 2014 by the State Board of Education.
Schools were recognized for being top performers in six categories, includ-ing overall excellence, high progress, reading growth, math growth, extended graduation rate (only awarded to high and comprehensives schools) and English language acquisition.
In the Federal Way school district, Decatur High School was recog-nized for high progress. Three other Federal Way schools were recognized for English language acquisition, including Mirror Lake Elementary, Nautilus K-8 School and
Olympic View Elemen-tary.
The award-winning schools will be honored during an award ceremo-ny on April 28 at Span-away Lake High School in Bethel School District, itself an award winner for “high progress.”
BY RAECHEL DAWSON
Tina Morelli grips a pole and is quickly upside down as she
climbs the 11-foot appa-ratus.
The 44-year-old over-turns her body, making it perpendicular to the pole and parallel to the floor, with upper arm strength that would make even the most muscular of body builders envious.
Morelli, a former Deja Vu exotic dancer, is in her natural element — the studio of her business, Pole Fitness Northwest.
Going strong eight years in Federal Way, Morelli moved her business a few blocks south on Pacific Highway. Her new studio is now located at 30315 Pacific Highway S., Suite B in Federal Way and offers 15 poles instead of 12. Each golden pole is 11 feet tall instead of the restricting eight feet her old studio once had.
“Location is key for busi-ness, right?” Morelli said. “Pacific Highway is a busy
street. It’s halfway to Seattle, halfway to Tacoma, kind of right in the middle.”
Although Morelli com-mutes from Maple Valley, she said she’s had students travel from as far as Gig Harbor and Bellingham — a vast difference from when she began Pole Fitness.
Interest in getting fit with pole dancing is at an all time high “now more than ever,” Morelli said.
“When I first started, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t make any money for, like, three years,” she said. “It was so taboo. People were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s teaching people how to strip.’”
She even had a self-proclaimed born-again Christian protest her busi-ness in the parking lot for a week when her business was new.
“She had this bullhorn and all this stuff taped to her car saying I was teach-ing little kids how to be strippers,” Morelli recalled.
But that’s exactly what Pole Fitness doesn’t do.
“It’s funny because people see it visually and
they go, ‘that looks so easy, I could do that,’” she said. “But when they leave, they always say, ‘I have a total new respect for strippers. I thought their job was easy.’”
With the motto, “You are the weight,” a typical fitness session includes 15 minutes of sit-ups and push-ups on an exercise ball, an hour on the pole and lunges at the end. Morelli said the hour on the pole is a full body work out and newcomers are often sent home with Epsom salt.
The workout is open to just about every woman age 18 and older and can be modified for an individual based on weight, age or whether that person has a body injury.
As one of the first pole dancing fitness studios to open in Washington, Morelli wondered if the workouts would actually provide results.
“I had a student who was almost 400 pounds, she was 372 and she liked coming but her husband had lost his job and she couldn’t af-ford to come,” she said.
Morelli made her a deal: If she attended Pole Fitness three times a week and let Morelli measure her weight loss, the student could at-tend for free.
The woman lost almost 60 pounds in six months but had to quit after she got pregnant.
Helper and student Lisa Blessing has also reclaimed her health by losing about 35 pounds. Blessing suf-fered from an aneurysm in 2008 and had to relearn how to walk and talk. After starting in February 2012, she described the workouts at Pole Fitness as “total
therapy.”Morelli said Pole Fitness
is different from other studios because she doesn’t have weight restrictions and allows students to progress through the various levels once she sees they’ve ac-complished each trick.
“People can come one time a month, one time a year, whenever they want, the classes never expire,” she said. “You don’t have to get through five weeks of something and then move to the next thing, I feel like if you’ve got five tricks we do in that first class down, we’ll take you to the next level. Everybody’s different.”
Although some may be more experienced than oth-ers, she said it takes about six months of going twice a week to progress to the highest level. The levels in-clude beginner, intermedi-ate and advanced. She also offers private instruction and extra practice called “play time.”
Packages are between $125 to $180 for four les-sons, however, new students can pay $215 for unlimited monthly lessons at all levels. New student pricing also includes discounts for vari-ous packages.
Morelli was able to start her own business after she won a $20,000 prize and did a nationwide tour for the Pole Olympics. Each club she went to paid about $3,000 a night. Every two days she would move to an-other club, which added up to about 60 clubs that year.
“They said we’ll pay for you to go around the country as a feature per-former so I did that for an entire year,” she said. “They paid for my nanny and my
daughter to go.”With nowhere to spend
the money, she saved. When she was done for the year, she came back and bought two houses and a studio.
Prior to working at Deja Vu, she worked at Little Darling’s downtown. Often, her coworkers asked her to teach them tricks and, soon, patrons did too.
Morelli said pole dancing is on its way to becom-ing an Olympic sport but in order for the Olympic Academy to recognize it as a sport, it has to be consid-ered one for 12 years. So far, it’s only been five years.
“Maybe in 2020,” Morelli said, noting performers on America’s Got Talent often perpetuate the negative stigma. “People don’t want this to be stripping but then they go on that show and dress like a stripper.”
With one instructor out of town for the military and another in training, Morelli keeps busy during the week with classes and on the weekend with private par-ties.
“Bachelorette, birthday, we have a party almost every weekend,” Morelli said. “We’re just a support-ive environment. I want everybody to know it’s fun, don’t be scared.”
And even though Pole Fitness is all about fitness, Morelli believes her work-outs bring everyone out of their shell after a couple of classes.
“I think there’s a little stripper in every woman,” she said, “You just got to bring it out of her.”

Hotel guests at the Comfort Inn in Federal Way, 31622
Pacific Highway S., will have much to love when they return for a night or an extended stay.
The four-story, 117-room hotel, is on target to com-plete a $1.4 million top-to-bottom renovation.
“This hotel is built to cater to sports teams and groups,” said owner and operator Richard Song, who pur-chased the property July 1 of last year. “We would also like to cater to the corporate clients.”
Renovations included new tile flooring in all bathrooms; wallpaper in the common areas, corridors and rooms; new carpet-ing throughout; complete renovations to the lobby, breakfast buffet area, swim-ming pool and hot tub.
“We went above and beyond and purchased the pillow top mattress covers, the high speed Internet and good television packages,” Song said.
All rooms come complete with a 40-inch flat screen television, microwave and refrigerator.
“We’re one of the most popular hotels for sports teams,” Song said. “We have all the top amenities. We’re newly renovated but rates are a lot lower, so we’re more economical. Teams are usu-ally on a budget, and they like us a lot. We provide a full complimentary hot breakfast.”
Sunday through Thursday corporate guests will benefit
from the two computer stations, faxing and copying. There is also an 874-square-foot meeting space with new recessed lighting, new projector and screen, new wallpaper and carpeting and new granite countertops and cabinetry.
For guests’ convenience, there is also a laundry room on site and fitness gym.
Jessica Christensen, as-sistant general manager, said corporate guests will also like the additional outlets built into the lobby tables to power up their laptops. High speed Internet and Wi-Fi is available through-out the hotel.
Hotel guests have a vari-ety of room configurations to choose from. These com-prise of five handicap king rooms; 10 king rooms; 23 king rooms with a pull-out couch; six king rooms with a jetted tub; 72 queen rooms; and three two-room suites that include a king bed and pull-out couch.
For a king or two-queen room, rates start at $104 and vary depending on the season. Rates for the two-suite room range from $129-$179, depending on the time of year. Room discounts are available.
Christensen and sales manager Samantha Down-ing are excited to show off the new look.
“(Richard Song) put a lot of thought into this and a lot of money,” Christensen said. “And we still have more to put in.”
Song said the remodel is about 95 percent done. Some remaining bathrooms are planned to have granite countertops and framed
mirrors. Christensen said the $1.4 million investment in renovations is remark-able for a hotel of this size. The Comfort Inn opened in Federal Way in 1998. Song said this is the first major remodel.
Song and his staff will host a grand reopening and
ribbon cutting from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on Thursday, April 23. Mayor Jim Ferrell, Federal Way Chief of Police Andy Hwang and other business owners and hote-liers are expected to attend. Appetizers, raffle drawings and hotel tours will be included.

Federal Way students shine at state science fairFROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools students from Todd Beamer High School, Federal Way High School, Thomas Jefferson High School and TAF Academy par-ticipated in the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair on March 28 in Bremerton, and all brought home top honors in their categories.
Todd Beamer’s Rosemichelle Marzan and Thomas Jefferson’s Hyrum Bock teamed up with a third student from Snohomish High School to take first place in the physics and astronomy category with the project, “Opti-cal Ion Reflector: Investigating the elastic collision relationship between ions and fusor chamber walls during nuclear fusion in order to enhance neutron output by focusing a plasma beam.”
Their accomplishment earned each of the students a $20,000 four-year renewable college scholarship, Mathematica software and an all-expenses paid trip to represent the state of Washington at the Intel Interna-tional Science and Engineering Fair May 10-15 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Beamer students Madison Rogers and Julia Kim teamed up with Federal Way High School’s Jack Bull to also take first place in their category for a project
involving boron neutron capture therapy, a cancer treatment used to treat glioblastomas and malignant melanoma. They each won Mathematica software and a free quarter at Evergreen State College.
Thomas Jefferson’s Brianna Ashing and Beamer’s Kevin Lee took first place in their category with their project, “Multiple Gas Reactor.” Lee won first place in his individual category as well by creating a programmable thermo-nuclear reactor.
Darryl Worcester took first in his category with the project, “Parallel Ring Poisser;” Bradley Hoefel did the same with his project, “Utilizing Web Services in Industrial Automation and Controls.” Hoefel and Worcester are both Beamer students.
In addition, TAF Academy sixth-grade students brought home the Washington State Sci-ence Fair Overall School Award.
Many, if not all, of these students are part of the North-west Nuclear Consortium founded by Carl Greninger, a Federal Way resident. Read more about Greninger’s program at www.federalwaymirror.com/news/183085141.html.
School district seeks parent feedback on surveyFROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools is seeking feedback from families
through a family partnership survey that runs through April 24. The survey asks parents about parent engagement, school resources, influence on school decision-making and other key topics.
Interim Superintendent Sally McLean said, “Every family has a voice in Federal Way Public Schools’ ongoing pursuit of educational excellence. Engaging in an ongoing two-way dialogue is critical as we work together to provide our students with the best possible education.”
The survey is accessible via the district’s Your Voice Counts page at www.fwps.org/yourvoice. The survey can be taken in English, Spanish, Russian, Korean and
Vietnamese.All feedback will be confiden-
tial and anonymous to district staff, so parents can feel comfort-able answering openly. Results will be delivered collectively only, and no individual data or identifying information will be in any report.
Once the survey closes on April 24, the district will share the findings.
Federal Way High School changesFROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools sent a letter to Federal Way High School families and neighbors
this week, notifying them of changes at the school that begin on Monday.
On Monday, April 20, most traffic to and from Federal Way High School will be routed onto 304th Street.
Drivers will not be able to drive onto campus from 308th Street, except to park in the Memorial Field lot.
These changes directly impact student and staff parking and student drop-off locations.
Starting on Monday, Lot D (between the school and Memo-rial Field) and the small gravel lot on the south side of 308th Street are no longer available for student, staff or visitor parking.
These parking areas are needed for staging construction equipment during the construc-tion of the south wing of the new high school.
Students will have two options for parking on campus: The new lot on 304th Street (the site of the old swimming pool) or the gravel parking lot south of Memorial Stadium.
Staff can park in the lot north of the portables and also in the lot on 304th Street.
To drop off students in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon, parents and guardians will now enter cam-pus from 304th Street.
For more information on how to access Federal Way High School during construction, visit www.fwps.org, hover over the district tab, select highlights, then construction updates.

The Federal Way Public Schools board of education signed new superintendent
Tammy Campbell’s employment contract at a school board meet-ing on Tuesday.
The agreement outlines that Campbell’s term, starting on July 1, will end on June 30, 2018. She will be paid $225,000 a year with opportunities for a raise increase on a yearly basis.
In comparison, former Super-intendent Rob Neu’s base salary was $240,000 for the 2013-14 school year. This was a $42,000 raise from his base salary of $198,000 he made for the two years prior to that.
“The board of directors has come to agreement on a contract with Dr. Tammy Campbell, our top choice for superintendent,” said school board president Geoffery McAnalloy. “As a board, we feel very confident we have the best person for the job. Dr.
Campbell’s strong belief that every child can learn is well matched with the board’s vision for our district.”
The district agreed to pay Campbell an annual 403(b) tax-deferred annuity in the amount of $20,000 every March.
Campbell is to receive 30 days of vacation each year, however, the school board must approve that vacation time. She is re-quired to take a minimum of 10 days of vacation a year and receives one day of sick, injury and emergency leave each month.
The superintendent will receive New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas and a “floating holi-day” (either the day after Christ-mas or the day before or after the Fourth of July) off, according to
the contract. She’ll receive a mileage allow-
ance of $800 a month, and will be compensated for up to 10 supple-mental days per year, as she is expected to attend community
functions and activities. After five years on the
job, Campbell will get a 2 percent annual raise of her base salary.
Campbell will be reim-bursed for professional meetings at the local, state and national level.
“The district expects the superintendent to be
involved in professional organiza-tions …” the contract states. “The board also expects the super-intendent to be involved in the community and agrees to pay for the superintendent’s membership dues in the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce and such other organizations the superintendent elects to join.”
Campbell may take up to five days a year of “consulting work, speaking engagements, writing,
lecturing or other professional ac-tivities which don’t conflict with her duties as superintendent.”
The district also requires Campbell to have a medical examination every year, in which case she has to arrange for the doctor to send a statement to the president of the board “certifying the medical fitness of the superin-tendent to perform her duties.”
Campbell will have an annual performance evaluation before July 1 and two board meetings will be dedicated to discussing her performance — one no later than Feb. 28, 2016 and another before June 30, 2016.
“Throughout the term of this agreement, the superintendent shall be subject to discharge or termination of employment for cause pursuant to applicable stat-utes,” the contract continues.
As superintendent of Federal Way Public Schools, Campbell’s job entails working under the direction of the school board by implementing its policies and directions. She will have authority
over administration and supervi-sion for the business affairs of the district with the assistance of staff.
“The superintendent will have the freedom to organize, reor-ganize and arrange the admin-istrative and supervisory staff in such a manner she judges best to serve the district’s interests,” the contract states. “The responsibil-ity for selection, placement and transfer of personnel shall be vested in the superintendent sub-ject to approval by the board.”
McAnalloy said the contract negotiation was a transparent and inclusive process. Speaking on behalf of the school board, he said they appreciate the work of Interim Superintendent Sally McLean and the district’s leader-ship team during the search process.
“We are excited to have Dr. Tammy Campbell as the next superintendent of Federal Way Public Schools, and look forward to the great things ahead for our students,” McAnalloy said.

Senate passes Roger Freeman Act to help families in needFROM STAFF REPORTS
The late Rep. Roger Freeman’s influence still echoes in the Legislature with a bill passed unani-mously in the Senate on Wednesday.
The bill will help fami-lies struggling to pay for court-ordered services and began under the leader-ship of Freeman last year.
Legislators named the bill the Roger Freeman Act.
“I am honored to do my part to continue Roger’s work on behalf of families in need,” said 30th District Sen. Mark Milos-cia, R-Federal Way, and legislative seat mate to Freeman. “This bill is just a part of the legacy of compassionate leadership Roger embodied and it is im-portant that we finish this work — for Roger and the families he fought for.”
House Bill 2140 would
stop parental rights from being stripped from individuals going through chemical dependency
treatment or de-termined to be financially unable to afford services required by the court. Advocates sought these pro-tections for paren-tal rights in order to keep families together when go-
ing through difficult times. The bill has already passed unanimously in the Senate and awaits concurrence with the House before be-
ing signed into law.Miloscia added, “I know
Roger would be glad that the work he started contin-ues today and we honored his efforts today by passing this bill.”
Freeman, state represen-tative for the 30th Legisla-tive District, passed away in October after a battle with cancer.
SAT/ACT prep open to all FWPS studentsFROM STAFF REPORTS
Thomas Jefferson High
School Distributive Educa-tion Clubs of America (DECA) and the Princeton Review are sponsoring a low-cost SAT/ACT prep night.
For $25, Federal Way Public Schools students will take the test from 7:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Satur-day, April 18 and come back at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5 for their results. Students in grades eight and up can participate. Test results will not be re-ported to colleges — that’s the fear-free part. SAT and ACT tests have differently-timed sessions and will be held in separate rooms.
Best of all, the results session includes coach-ing for students on how to improve their scores. Helpful advice will be of-fered to students on where questions were missed, how to pace themselves, how to score well on the
essay portion and more. The Thomas Jefferson club has sponsored the fear-free SAT/ACT for years, and parent feedback indicates it’s appreciated.
Proceeds from this event help send Thomas Jeffer-son’s Distributive Educa-tion Clubs of America to the international career development conference this year.
To register, visit Thomas Jefferson’s finance office to pay in person with cash, credit or debit. You may also send a completed registration form and pay-ment to Thomas Jefferson High School.
Thomas Jefferson is located at 4248 S. 288th St., Auburn. You may also email your registration information and call with credit/debit payment. Questions can be emailed to Connie Davolt at [email protected].

pet of the weekHenrietta is an 8-year-old female cat, tortiseshell, domestic short hair (ID No. A450155). This beautiful feline likes to lounge around her home, oftentimes in front of windows watching the world go by outside.
She can also be playful as a kitten, leap-ing and running after her toys, especially her feather-on-a-stick toy. Henrietta loves her treats and her people, and will greet family and strangers at the door. She did have her left eye removed due to cancer, but it healed nicely and she’s doing great. While not cuddly, she will lie next to you on the couch and may just sleep with you at night. She won’t do what she doesn’t want to, so she would do best in a home without small children. Given patience and love, Henrietta will reward you with her own love and growing trust in return. You can find out more about Henrietta on her Pet Finder profile at www.petfinder.com/petde-tail/31920742/.
You may also meet Henrietta, and other additional animals available for adoption,
seven days a week at Regional Animal Services of King County’s Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave. S. For more information, email [email protected] or call 206-296-PETS.
