After World Vision offi-cials announced changes to its hiring policy on Monday that would allow Christians in same-sex marriages to be employed at the agency, the organization reversed its decision on Wednesday
following wide-spread criticism.
“We are broken-hearted over the pain and confu-
sion we have caused many of our friends, who saw this decision as a reversal of our strong commitment to Biblical authority,” wrote Richard Stearns, president of the Federal Way-based Christian humanitarian re-lief giant, and World Vision board chairman Jim Beré in a letter to supporters.
They noted the board “acknowledged they made a mistake” and chose to return to the agency’s long-standing conduct policy requiring sexual abstinence for all single employees and “faithfulness within the Biblical covenant of mar-riage between a man and a woman.”
Stearns announced on Monday the organization would hire Christians in legal same-sex marriages in a letter he sent to more than 1,100 employees.

Locals assist in mudslide rescueBY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Federal Way firefight-ers and volunteers are part of a search effort
underway to find 90 people who are still missing after a massive mudslide in Oso, Wash. that killed at least 25 people.
Snohomish County de-clared a state of emergency on March 22, followed by Gov. Inslee’s proclamation of emergency late that night.
South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) deployed five firefighters with specialized training on Monday night to help in the rescue and recovery efforts in Snohom-ish County.
Firefighters Gary White, Paul Mernaugh and Travis McKenney, along with Lieutenants Roy Smith and Shane Smith are all a part of a specialized FEMA Puget Sound Task Force that is sent to emergencies throughout the country, said SKFR Lt. Jeff Bellinghausen with the department’s Community Assistance Office.
“They left during the night with two semi-trucks and several trailers laden with equipment and 76 firefighters from the region,” Bellinghausen wrote in an

Student with inoperable tumor garners national attentionBY CASEY OLSON
Decatur High School senior Dominique Cooks continues his battle with an inoperable brain tumor.
Cooks, 18, was diag-
nosed with the tumor in the spring of 2012 and his infectious attitude has become a staple throughout the halls during the school year.
The former football, basketball and track athlete
makes numerous morning announcements, which include some type of inspi-rational message.
He was also appointed as an Associated Student Body officer by the Decatur students and named Home-
coming King in the fall.“Dom is still inspiring
Decatur,” said the school’s principal, David Brower. “His battle continues and he continues to battle.”
But Cooks’s inspiration is now going national.
The Decatur senior has been selected as one of the 2014 Air National Guard USA TODAY High School Sports Inspirational Athletes of the Year. Cooks is one of 100 finalists

King County Coun-cilmember Pete von Reichbauer hosted
the CEO of Seattle Chil-dren’s Hospital, Thomas Hansen, at his monthly Good Eggs Breakfast at Twin Lakes Golf and Coun-try Club in Federal Way on March 19.
Hansen discussed the specialty care Seattle Chil-dren’s South Sound clinic in Federal Way will offer.
He also discussed how he is working closely with the hospital’s board members, physicians, and staff, as well as the community, to significantly expand
the hospital’s clinical and research capabilities.
This expansion will enable Seattle Children’s to continue providing the growing region with the specialized services it needs.
“Seattle Children’s is lead-ing the way in research and treatment from childhood Lupus to pulmonary and cardiovascular care; we are lucky to have this world-class facility opening in our South King County com-munity,” said von Reichbau-er. “Dr. Hansen understands the need to follow where his patients live, and I am pleased to welcome Seattle Children’s new clinic to South King County.”
Hansen joined Seattle Children’s Hospital in Oc-tober of 2005 as CEO, and also serves as a professor of
Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Under his leader-ship, Seattle Children’s has
been rated by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best children’s hospitals in the nation.

Weyerhaeuser top business recyclerFROM STAFF REPORTS
The city of Federal Way recently named Wey-
erhaeuser the business recycler of the year for 2013. The Leadership in Recycling Award recog-nizes local businesses that increase recycling, reduce waste generation and adopt other sustainable practices.
Staff and administra-tion at Weyerhaeuser have embraced waste reduction, recycling and food com-posting. The Corporate Headquarters and Tech-nology Center currently recycles 55 percent of the waste it generates, and
continues to implement new recycling efforts.
Weyerhaeuser has an active green team known as “The Sustainables” that focuses on environ-mental improvements. One accomplishment is their annual “waste-free”
company picnics where “The Sustainables” made extraordinary efforts to ensure everything was reused, recycled or com-posted. Last summer, they served over 700 employ-ees and created just five pounds of trash.

Cary Roe has seen Federal Way through a lot in the
last two-plus decades. From the formation of the city itself, to being tasked with implementing some of the largest infrastructure proj-ects required for the city and all the headaches that entailed, to surfing through the last several years of budgetary issues, Roe has seen it all as Public Works director.
The next chapter in his life and career are set to be-gin, though, when he heads for Kennewick, Wash., to take over that city’s Public Works Department in April. Roe said he’s both excited and a bit bittersweet about leaving Federal Way.
“The city has grown a lot in the last 20 years, and I think it’s really grown up,” Roe said. “I know having been here from the very start, and to sit here today 23-plus years later … I think it’s acuity that’s recog-nized in the region, I think it has standing. I think the folks who had the vision of creating a city, I think I can look back 23 years later and say we accomplished that.”
Roe got his start with the city when he was hired as a surface water manager. That job had him creating the city’s facilities for sur-face water - something Roe said he still looks back on with pride. He recalled how various locations through-out the city would flood to the point of impassability, including 320th in front of The Commons Mall, Southwest Campus Drive, and Highway 99 and 324th, and that it was a major issue to get under control when Federal Way first incorporated.
“We built some sig-nificant projects … and the first challenge was getting that flooding under control,” he said, “and I’m proud to say we’ve done it. You generate great pride when you know (some-thing) did this before, and now it doesn’t do that any-more, and it’s because of the efforts you put forth.”
In fact, one of those flood control projects netted the city a national award, an honor that Roe says he still has framed in his office to this day.
From surface water management, Roe was promoted to deputy Public Works director and then to department director. Roe has overseen approximately $226 million in infrastruc-ture projects throughout the city in his time.
“It was very nice to get the second key to the city award, it meant a lot,” Roe said in reference to when the City Council awarded him the Key to the City on March 18. “On the plaque, it (indicated) my legacy is infrastructure in Public Works. And I agree with that.”
Among those infrastruc-ture projects Roe has pride in include the improve-ments to Federal Way’s stretch of Pacific Highway, along with the well main-tained city streets.
“I think our Council, and our community and the Public Works Department, take great pride in the condition of our streets,” he said. “It’s not by accident, it’s because the Council has elected to invest in them.”
Roe remembered how he made a presentation to the Council in the city’s early years regarding the city streets, and how the Council had the foresight to set aside a specific funding
stream to maintain them throughout the years.
“One of my arguments, and I think they got this, and still get this, (is that roads are) the city’s most valuable asset,” he said.
In the time that the city’s parks have been within his purview, Roe said he felt his greatest contributions were in turning around the Federal Way Community Center and Dumas Bay Centre. Both were strug-gling financially when he inherited them, and Roe said he did what he always does when presented with a new challenge: roll up his sleeves and dig in.
“I went to work,” he said of the Federal Way Com-munity Center. “I tried to understand the pro forma that was done, that I had kind of inherited. Why wasn’t it performing, where was it performing … I sat down with then-Finance Director Tho Krause. She didn’t give me more money, we simply reworked the pro forma and tried to figure out where we could perform, where we were performing, where we weren’t and why.”
A marketing study, along with increased oversight of the center, helped turn the facility around to the posi-tion it’s in today, Roe said.
“When the center is do-ing like it is today, it’s hitting it out of the park. For the first two months of 2014, our revenues are exceeding our expenditures,” he noted.
Roe also faced the same issues with Dumas Bay, and was able to right that ship by doing much of the same: giving those who run Dumas Bay a better picture of who their customers are and increased financial oversight.
“It was a lot of hard work, paying attention and hold-
ing everyone accountable,” he said.
Roe said his move to Kennewick has been done with a “measured ap-proach.” Family, workload, and other considerations all played a big part, he said.
“I’ve got a little guy that’s four … I got a new chance with this little guy,” he said. “I’m big into sports, and got a big chunk of my college paid for with a football scholarship. I hope the pace slows down, and maybe I can coach little league foot-ball, or whatever it may be.”
As far as workload is concerned, Roe said the shift to Kennewick should slow down his hectic pace, having only to (hopefully) attend meetings on Tuesday nights. As it sits right now, his schedule is so busy he has an administrative as-sistant take care of it for the most part. Those meetings range from full City Coun-cil meetings to sub com-mittee meetings, to internal meetings during any given workday.
“It’s a fast pace, I like the pace, don’t get me wrong, but it wears me down,” he said.
At Kennewick, the Public Works Department is sig-nificantly larger, Roe said, like taking Federal Way’s department and “plug-ging in Lakehaven Utility District into it.”
The budget for the Kennewick Public Works Department actually rivals Federal Way’s entire city budget, he noted.
“It’s not a step back-wards, this is going to be a challenge, I look forward to that challenge,” he said. “I’m going to go over there and do the same thing I did here. Work hard and hope-fully make a difference over there, and enjoy the ride there, as I have here.”

email, noting the firefighters will be deployed for 10-14 days and will stay at the base camp at Darrington Bluegrass park, about 10 minutes from the mudslide area. “They drove through the night and arrived at the base camp near the slide at 5 a.m.”
SKFR firefighters went directly to a briefing about their roles, were sent straight to work searching for victims and did not return to camp until late Tuesday night, Bellinghausen said.
On Wednesday, the fire-fighters searched with more than 200 other volunteers
through more than one square mile of mud and debris that overwhelmed roads, houses and cars that is up to 15 feet deep in areas, he noted.
Bellinghausen said he receives daily updates from the firefighters, who “are contending with rain, mud, MRES (Meals Ready to Eat) for all meals, sleeping on cots in an open shelter and, of course, the physi-cally and psychologically tough work.” The federal government maintains 28 highly trained search and rescue teams throughout the United States that are made up of local firefighters; 12
teams are on call at any time, he noted. SKFR has nine members who participate in the Urban Search and Rescue team.
Derek Stephani, of Federal Way, drove to the site to vol-unteer to find slide victims Tuesday morning when he heard the call on the radio. Stephani, an electrician who mountaineers and has been helped by search and rescue personnel in an emergency in the past, wanted to come up and do whatever he could to aid the effort.

Praying, not protesting to end abortion
A couple of weeks ago I submitted to the Federal Way Mirror my photo from the 40 Days for Life prayer Vigil in front of Planned Parenthood. This weekend I found the photo in the Mirror next to an article by Amy Johnson called “40 days to pray for pro-choice,” where it was used to show-case the 40 Days for Life movement as a “protest.”
During 40 Days for Life we pray for the end of
abortion. There are never any derogatory or negative signs with this campaign and we do not stomp, rage or scream. Every person at the vigil has signed a peace agreement, promising to be prayerful, respectful and law abiding. We are quietly praying and very much keeping to the guidelines of the movement in a prayer-ful, peaceful 40 day vigil. We are not protesting; we are witnessing, and we ask others to stand with us.
The astounding facts
are that 125,000 unborn children die each day in the world due to abortion. More than 3,300 of those children die per day in the United States alone, totaling 40-50 million worldwide each year.
The argument always comes up “what about rape victims?” Accord-ing to world statistics, this would affect 1 percent of abortions. Incest is always another argument, and it too accounts for a very small percentage of abor-
tions. Mostly, abortion is used as a form of birth control in women between the ages of 18-25 years old (51 percent).
The fact that 40 Days for Life people stand on the street asking you to pray to end abortion is much dif-ferent and much more com-plex than “it’s legal” and a “choice.” These people are trying to stop the damage that is happening world-wide to innocent victims. The end of abortion would not only impact the 40-50
million children that die at the hands of physicians every year, but it would impact the 80-100 million parents and grandparents who suffer and will suffer life-long depression, addic-tions, suicides and broken hearts because of their “choice.”
The fact is that the statistics are very slim that women have abortions because it is a “choice.” More often than not, it is because they feel they have no choice, i.e. finances, un-planned pregnancy, affairs, abuse, trafficking, rape,
“He was looking at me,” said the sixth grader to the teacher recently. While childish, those words are pretty close to one of the complaints contained in South King Fire and Rescue (SKFR) Chief Al Church’s allegations of “harassment and the cre-ation of a hostile work environment” against one of his bosses, Commissioner Mark Freitas.
There has been considerable speculation about what bombshells were in the complaint since rumor leaked of its existence.
Church is a seasoned chief, having worked at the department for 36 years, with 15 years as chief. He is a highly edu-cated man and well respected. Conversely, Freitas has been a commissioner for 17 years, was an Army officer, deputy sheriff, chair of the Chamber of Commerce and is a real estate broker. These are two com-munity heavyweights presumably not prone to childish behavior and with skins thick enough to support their leadership mantles.
An allegation at this level is significant and is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Since I have done several investigations on those topics over the years, I, along with others, was concerned about what would cause such a highly charged allegation to be made.
Anyone who follows the election cycle knows that there has been several episodes of political upheaval over the years with questions on expen-ditures, staffing, taxes, the chief ’s son’s disciplinary and legal matters and questions around the chief ’s contract.
There used to be an undercurrent of “insiders”
and “outsiders” in these disagreements. But more recently, the divide has become much more open, obvious and contentious. Church is an insider supported by the other four commissioners and Freitas is an outsider who asks too many ques-tions the insiders don’t like. Some in the commu-nity have suggested that the insiders are so cozy as to raise questions about whether or not any true
check and balance on behalf of the public actually exists between the board and its employee, Church.
Some who have raised questions or been critical of SKFR have found them-selves on the receiving end of negative personal comments from SKFR officials.
But even with those caveats, for the chief to file a complaint, Freitas’s treat-ment surely must have been outrageous.
I was stunned when I read Mr. Federal Way’s column and comments calling the report a soap opera not worthy of the approximately $28,000 in taxpayer funds it cost to produce. I assumed Mr. Federal Way had overstated the lack of substance in the report. Unfortunately, he didn’t.
Other complaints included Church’s feeling of being stalked because Freitas drove through his neighborhood to see a friend a few blocks away, of “tolerating” Freitas driving through the fire department parking lot checking to see if the chief was there and then stopping in at odd times, like 5:30 p.m., to visit about department issues.
Other complaints included that Freitas suggest-ed after 36 years the chief might want to consider
South King Fire’s elementary school parody
Social justice’s return on investment is fast disappearing
INSI

Social justice is one of those catchphrases that we’re all familiar with these days. What it means, no one really seems to know, but it
sure does sound nice and makes whoever is saying it seem sophisticated and compassionate. Based
on the also never-quite-defined ideas of equality and diversity, social justice has been a driving force in academia and society for at least the last 30 years or so.
But, it appears as though social justice seems to be hav-ing some serious problems
these days. Two recent stories, one here in Fed-eral Way, and another a little further south in the Puget Sound, seem to be pointing to the fact that the “return on investment” in social justice is fast disappearing, and may, in fact, have reached a point where it’s a negative return.
Locally, the Mirror’s Mr. Federal Way recently spent some time trying to figure out why junior varsity and/or C-squad soccer isn’t offered for boys in Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS). As the hot-bed of soccer talent that Federal Way seems to be, it was certainly an interesting question and one that I hadn’t even contemplated needed to be asked.
As Mr. Federal Way discovered, the reason there is no lower-level soccer teams for boys is because of Title IX, the federal law that mandates equal oppor-tunity for boys and girls in athletics. As the Director of Secondary Schools for FWPS, Vince Blauser, informed Mr. Federal Way in an email:
“We have worked diligently to provide a more balanced opportunity for girls to participate in sports, adding girls wrestling and girls bowling to our sports selections over the past two years,” Blauser wrote. “This has helped close the gap. But we continue to see a decline in girls’ participation in the sports already provided district-wide. By solely providing a JV boys soccer program, we would drop further out of compliance. In doing so, we risk losing federal support dollars.”
So, a social justice construct if there ever was one, Title IX is creating an imbalance here in Federal Way that one could certainly argue is a negative return on investment. As Mr. Federal Way correctly pointed out, and Blauser alluded to, the situation is even more frustrating because district data shows that girls’ participation in sports has been lower in recent years, with 40.6 percent girls participating in school athletics at the four Federal Way high schools, and 59.4 percent boys participating in athletics in the 2010-11 school year.

retiring. Freitas suggested the chief might be taking too much time off. Being critical of Freitas for having coffee with an employee that some thought might be disgruntled. Saying Freitas stares at him in meetings, and that Freitas shared the departments strategic plan with a member of the media, and “with those who were totally opposed to our attempted ballot measure (i.e. Jerry Galland).”
From another point of view, these issues could also be a commissioner trying to do his job. But Church went even farther, saying Freitas’s friendship with Jerry Galland is the most “heinous.” “He (Freitas) is consorting with an outside member, whom he refers to as a constituent.” The chief goes on to say “that Freitas and Galland have been sighted having lunch and coffee.”
If you’re an adult reading this, think through those statements. Does the chief or anyone else get to decide who Freitas can have coffee or lunch with or talk to? Galland is a constituent, and the strategic plan should be a public docu-ment available to anyone. And heinous?
It is certainly likely that Freitas and Galland share similar points of view on issues related to SKFR and may be politi-cal allies. That’s politics.
That is not to say Freitas has been perfect in this little melodrama. I have watched Freitas over the years. Some-times I agree with him, sometimes I don’t. And his style can be a little direct and it might offend some people, although he generally conducts himself appropriately. But I have also seen high ranking SKFR officials treat him in a less than courteous or inclusive manner in public settings. The word snub comes to mind.
And at the debates last year between commissioner Bill Gates and challenger Galland, SKFR commissioner James Fossos interrupted Galland twice and was admonished by the moderator. Whether you like Galland or not, we live in a democracy where he is entitled to ask questions and run for office. He shouldn’t be interrupted by another commis-sioner, he should be able to obtain public documents and Church shouldn’t treat Galland as an enemy because of who he has lunch with.
With strong support from the rest of the board and no visible reason to feel insecure or vulnerable, one has to wonder why Church had to file a complaint over such small issues?
As a public agency, the leaders of SKFR should listen to all points of view, and be inclusive of all residents, not just those they agree with. They have sometimes acted with thin skins and a self-righteous attitude that has allowed simple differences of opinion on policy questions to degen-erate into name calling and formal complaints. That is not constructive to the public they serve.
The investigator does a good job with little or no sub-stance to work with. And he prods Freitas to work on how he approaches people.
But a reader might also find room to question the behavior of several others in this little elementary school parody. And you are left with the feeling that the public interests might have been better served if SKFR had just hired a good third grade playground teacher to shape up everyone’s behavior.
Lastly, don’t blame the hardworking men and women of the SKFR for this episode. Some of them are probably just as embarrassed by this as we all should be. Let’s hope all concerned can put this issue behind them and find a way to work together.

Federal Way native Hoan Do has spent the last four years of his life moti-vating high school and col-lege students around the country to make more of themselves, and now he’s putting his beliefs to the test as he prepares for one of the biggest challenges of his life.
Do is auditioning for the sixth season on G4TV of “American Ninja Warrior,” an intense obstacle course that challenges the contes-tant’s strength, agility and mental fortitude.
When contestants aren’t running up walls, they’re leaping across pits using circular rings or navigating a 20-foot lateral peg wall. If he’s selected, competing on the show is just one more entry in Do’s list of accomplishments.
Do, who now lives in
Kent, is an inspirational speaker, acclaimed author, student success coach, and the recipient of the Verizon Wireless Motiva-tor Award.
Raised by poor immi-grant parents who nearly lost their lives to escape the Vietnam War, Do understood at a young age the importance of sacrifice and hard work.
Do was accepted to Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., after graduating from Decatur High School in 2003, and concentrated on succeed-ing so he could in return take care of his parents.
With the tremendous pressure Do placed on himself, in addition to the stresses of being a col-lege student, he found his self-esteem reaching an all-time low. Refusing to settle and give up, Do used this experience as a turn-
ing point to learn practical skills that would help him to succeed in school and in life.
Do eventually beat out candidates who were con-siderably older and vastly more experienced than him to work with the No. 1 personal development company in the world. As a national speaker and cor-
porate trainer, he conduct-ed training sessions for distinguished audiences that included 21, Bank of America, Honda, Toyota, UBS Financial, Chambers of Commerce, and the U.S. Army.
Recognized as the best youth mentor by the International Examiner, Do travels across North
America speaking at col-leges, high schools, and as-sociations to help students to succeed on the topics of college success, leader-ship development, stress management, and personal motivation.
Running a speaking business out of the house demands a great degree of coordination and disci-pline, but also requires motivation and dedication to an idea. All of these skills have helped Do as he trains for the show.
Do decided to audi-tion for the show after his crossfit trainer tagged him in a photo with the Twitter hashtag american ninja warrior.
“In that moment I thought, ‘Why not?’” he said.
Training to become a Ninja Warrior and training at a crossfit gym are two different tasks, which Do
has taken to with a certain zeal. Do’s athletic back-ground as a wrestler and triathlete have kept him in shape but the tasks on the show require different skills. To compensate for this, Do has incorporated a training program into his daily routine, including 6 a.m. workouts and visiting two gyms.
In the mornings, he vis-its Ronin Training Center to prepare for the obstacles on the course. Many of the Ninja Warrior obstacles are oriented around the urban sport Parkour, or free running. Among its other obstacles, the gym features a wall climb with one-inch wood slats to grip and a salmon ladder where the user must throw a bar up a notched wall.
The grand prize for completing all courses on “American Ninja Warrior” is $500,000 in cash.

Some coins have great presidents’ faces imprinted on one side:
Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Then there’s the coin for Washington Youth Soccer with the face of a man who made local soccer history - Karl Grosch.
The Washington Youth Soccer organization recently created the coin to honor Grosch, who co-founded the Washington State Youth Soccer Referees Association. Referees will now use the commemorative coin for the coin toss before soccer games.
While Grosch’s coin doesn’t have any monetary value, the work he’s done bringing youth soccer to the area, and his contributions to Federal Way, are priceless.
This is why Federal Way resident Charlotte Larson nominated Grosch for the Mirror’s Citizen of the Month for March.
“It came as a surprise to me,” said Grosch, in a strong German accent. The 89-year-old immigrated from Darmstadt, Germany to the U.S. in 1952. A retired Boeing engineer, he has lived
in the Twin Lakes for 47 years with his wife, Helga.
“Credit must be given to an ordinary citizen doing ex-traordinary achievements,” said Larson, who first met Grosch while playing bridge at the Federal Way Com-munity Center years ago. “He has given unselfishly and modestly to his adopted country and community of Federal Way.”
On a recent morning at the community center, Grosch pulls out a planner stuffed with paperwork and lays it out on a table in the activity room he plays bridge in twice a week.
“You don’t need to write anything down,” said Gro-sch, pulling out his creden-tials, including his resume, nine awards from the city of Federal Way, press releases and numerous newspaper clippings illustrating his volunteerism with the city.
Grosch served as a Parks and Recreation commis-sioner from 1993-2002 and a Civil Service commissioner for 11 years.
He helped plan for the city to become Federal Way before incorporation, and it was even his vision to have the various pools for differ-ent types of swimmers at the community center.
But of all of his accom-plishments, it was his volun-teerism for the local soccer community that he is most passionate about.
The city recognized his long-time youth soccer ad-vocacy by naming the soccer field at Steel Lake Park after Grosch in 2003.
When he first came to the U.S., he couldn’t believe the lack of opportunities for American youth to get in-volved in soccer. Soccer was a big deal in Darmstadt.
This prompted him to get involved in the local soccer scene, eventually brining youth soccer to the forefront of Washington and the United States.
He coached his sons’ soc-cer teams, was a member of the Federal Way Soccer As-
sociation board and served as the president of the Wash-ington State Youth Soccer Association from 1971-77. During that time, he moved the association from a volunteer-run organization to a professional agency. He is also a member of the as-sociation’s Hall of Fame.
He also co-authored the first United States Youth Soccer Association’s constitution, by-laws, rules and regulations. He recalled how he and two others spent three days at a hotel, crafting the first handwritten draft of the bylaws. They wanted to provide a democratic struc-ture to create uniform rules and guidelines to facilitate intrastate, interstate and international play.
He said he also helped
bring girls soccer to the area, after some outraged parents threatened a lawsuit against him for disallowing girls to play on the boys team.
At age 89, Grosch is still active and says he can’t seem to sit still for too long.
“If you were retired, would you want to sit 24 hours at home?” He said. “You’ve got to do something — be active.”

March 31 deadline to purchase health insuranceFROM STAFF REPORTS
Under the Affordable Care Act, residents are required to enroll in health coverage by March 31 or face a penalty.
Opportunities to acquire insurance after that date will be limited. (Exceptions: low-income individuals eligible for Medicaid may enroll year-round, and anyone expe-riencing a qualifying event, such as getting married or losing a job, may enroll).
To enroll, people should first try the Washington Healthplanfinder website, and the state’s help-line, at 855-923-4633.
Washington Healthplanfinder is increas-ing outreach efforts to help residents sign up for new health plans. Washingtonians who are still seeking coverage should enroll as soon as possible to ensure they meet the deadline. Those who qualify for Washing-ton Apple Health (Medicaid) may enroll throughout the year.
Customers may enroll by 11:59 p.m. on March 31 for coverage effective May 1. To help people successfully enroll, Washington
Healthplanfinder developed these helpful tips and guidelines:
• Enroll online: Washington Healthplan-finder was designed to lead consumers through the entire application process on-line at www.wahealthplanfinder.org. Utiliz-ing the online application is the fastest way to receive an eligibility determination for free or low-cost coverage.
• Find help if you need it: Customers are strongly encouraged to enroll online at wahealthplanfinder.org, but those needing assistance to complete their application should contact the customer support cen-ter at 1-855-923-4633 as soon as possible.

is a multi-denominational organization that welcomes employees from more than 50 denominations, and since a number of these denominations in recent years have sanctioned same-sex marriage for Christians, the board — in keeping with our practice of deferring to church authority in the lives of our staff, and desiring to treat all of our employees equally — chose to adjust our policy,” Stearns wrote in the letter to employees. “I want to be clear that we have not endorsed same-sex marriage, but we have chosen to defer to the authority of local churches on this issue. We have chosen not to exclude someone from employment at World Vision U.S. on this issue alone.”
Stearns said he and the board initially made the pol-icy change to prevent this “divisive issue from tearing World Vision apart and potentially crippling our ability to accomplish our vital kingdom mission of loving and serving the poorest of the poor in the name of Christ.”
The agency reversed its decision after many do-nors posted on World Vision’s Facebook page that they would no longer fund the organization’s hunger programs. Many same-sex marriage supporters also criticized World Vision on its Facebook page for its reversal on Wednesday.

Federal Way High School graduate Travis Ishikawa is
making a push to be on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ opening-day
roster, which is a little bit of a surprise for the 30-year-old. Ishikawa, a left-handed first
baseman, spent most of 2013 in the minor leagues, though
he played six games for the Baltimore Orioles and one game
for the New York Yankees. But Ishikawa is having an impressive
spring training for the Pirates. In 25 plate appearances, he is hitting .320 with three home
runs and six RBIs.The journeyman signed a
minor-league contract on Dec. 13 with an invitation to the
Pirates’ major-league spring training.

Soccer: Defending state champs looking to repeat
Jefferson senior Brandon Madsen led the SPSL in scoring last season with 20 goals for the Raiders, who finished with the program’s state-record eighth Class 4A state championship with a 3-0 win over Union. CASEY OLSON, The Mirror
Preview: Jefferson won program’s eighth title last season and return SPSL’s leading scorer in MadsenBY CASEY OLSON
It’s pretty obvious to anyone in the know, that the best high school soccer in the state is currently played in Federal Way. That was evident last year when the Thomas Jefferson Raiders won a state record, eighth 4A championship with a win over Union in the final.
The Raiders enter the 2014 season as the team to beat once again. According to the polls, Jefferson is the top-ranked 4A team in the state and should be right in the mix for a ninth state title at TJ.
But the Federal Way Eagles aren’t far behind. The Eagles won the South Puget Sound League South title last season with a 15-1-0 league and are the favorites to do it again. Also, Beamer and Decatur are primed to contend for playoff berths.
A state-championship repeat for the Raiders will have to come without several key components from last season, including Class 4A Player of the Year Isidro Prado-Huerta, who finished with 14 goals and 16 assists a season ago. Also gone is fellow midfielder Luis Alvaro Osornio, who finished with 15 goals and eight assists.
But the Raiders do return their leading scorer in striker Brandon Madsen. The senior has led the SPSL in scoring the last two seasons and tallied 20 goals during TJ’s championship run. Madsen scored at least one goal in 16 of Jefferson’s 22 games a season ago.
“He is looking to do it again,” head coach Dave Hanson said.
Madsen will be one of only four returning starters for the Raiders, along with defenders Glenn Carpenter and Nigel Hall and midfielder Andrew-Paul McCleary. Carpenter, along with Mad-sen, were named first-team, All-State last year and McCleary was a second-team, All-State selection.
“We will be successful if we battle every game like it is our last,” Hanson said. “Every team wants to beat the state champs. So every game is tougher.”
According to Hanson, the loss of guys like Prado-Huerta and Osornio will hurt the technical and creativity ability of this year’s team. But the 2014 edition of the Raiders might have a bigger desire to win than last year’s more talented group.
“They know how to win and have a never-give-up attitude,” Hanson said.
Senior Samuel Vargas, a transfer from Tyee, should provide the scoring punch to go along with Madsen up front for TJ. Var-gas didn’t play during the Raiders’ season-opening 1-0 win over Tahoma last week, but should be back from a little injury this week. Madsen tallied the only goal during
the victory. Jefferson sophomore Hunter Bowman re-
places McKay Owsley in goal and picked up the shutout against Tahoma. Also provid-ing depth will be defenders Garrett Dahl, a sophomore, and senior Jalen Bond.
Federal Way enters this season as the second-ranked team in Class 4A behind Jefferson and have dominated their first two games this year. The Eagles beat Graham-Kapowsin in their opener, 9-1, and downed Beamer, 4-2, Friday.
Federal Way’s offense is being led by Devin Pegues, who has five goals and two assists during the first two games of the year. Fernando Sanchez netted a hat trick against Graham-Kapowsin and also has three assists.

Baseball preview: Decatur hoping for return to state, Beamer is also loadedBY CASEY OLSON
Baseball at the four high schools around Federal Way is the best it’s been in a long time this season. The rosters at Decatur, Federal Way, Beamer and Jefferson feature some of the best individual talent in the area and playoff berths for all four aren’t out of the question.
Leading the list might be the Deca-tur Gators, who qualified for the Class 3A State Baseball Tournament for the first time since 1989 a season ago. Third-year head coach Korey Sites returns most of the starting lineup
from 2013 and the Gators might have one of the best pitching staffs in the state, led by Chris Carns, Janson Junk and transfer Jake Kolterman.
Carns and Junk have both already inked their national letters of intent to pitch in the fall at Seattle University.
Carns finished 7-3 with a 3.00 earned-run average and threw four complete games last season. He threw a complete-game shutout during a 2-0 win over Mountainview at the West Central District Tournament. Carns also struck out 73 hitters in 58 1/3 innings and allowed only 47 hits all season. He also hit .262 with 22 RBIs, 20 runs and two home runs at the
plate.Junk was 4-3 for the state-bound
Gators with an impressive 2.77 ERA, with two of those losses coming to state champion Auburn Mountain-view. The right-hander threw three complete games and 53 innings. He was a second-team, All-SPSL 3A selection and struck out 47. Junk also hit .308 with six RBIs and six runs at the plate.
But Kolterman might be the best of the bunch. At Hazen High School last season, Kolterman was named first-team, All-State after a 5-1 record

despite playing his junior season with a torn labrum and broken bone in his non-throwing left arm.
“This years team boasts an incredible amount of pitching depth,” Sites said. “We have three frontline starters in Carns, Junk and Kolterman and three other quality pitchers behind them waiting for an op-portunity.”
The Gators’ offense should also be pretty potent this season. Sites brings back all-league players in second baseman Brandon Zimmerman and shortstop Isaiah Hatch. Zimmerman finished with a .367 bat-ting average and scored 23 runs with 15 RBIs. He also had eight doubles and two home runs.
As a sophomore last season, Hatch hit .374 with 24 RBIs, five doubles, two triples and 23 runs. Hatch also finished with three home runs, including two during Decatur’s heart-breaking defeat in the state quarterfinals to Auburn Mountainview, 9-8.
“Our returning players state playoff experience should also help when play-ing in crucial, high pressure moments,” Sites said.
The Todd Beamer Titans also have a pair of Division-I commits on their roster and return plenty of talent from a team that finished 14-9 overall.
The Titans are led by senior Scott Sunitsch and junior Taylor Davis. Sunitsch has already signed
to play at Washington State in the fall and Davis has given a verbal commitment to Seattle University.
Last season, Sunitsch hit .362 with 15 RBIs, 12 runs, three doubles and two home runs and was 2-3 in seven starts with a 4.24 ERA on the mound. He struck out 42 in 34 2/3 innings pitched.
As a sophomore, Davis finished the year 5-1 with a 1.62 earned-run average on the mound. He threw four complete-games and three complete-game shutouts. One of those was a 2-0 no-hitter over Curtis. Davis also hit .319 with 11 RBIs, 10 runs, four doubles and one triple at the plate as a shortstop.
“If our pitching staff stays healthy and we play good defense, we should be a playoff team,” longtime head coach Jerry Peterson said.
Also back for the Titans are second baseman Ben Arata, center fielder Lawyer Braun and catcher Kepa Sharpe.
Last year, as a sopho-more, Arata hit .423 with a team-best 18 RBIs. He also scored 15 runs and struck out only once during the season in 83 plate appear-ances.
As a leadoff hitter, Brau-an hit .395 with a team-leading 20 runs, 13 doubles and 18 stolen bases. He also finished with 13 RBIs and two triples.
Sharpe led the Titans a season ago with a .456 bat-ting average and also had
17 RBIs, five doubles, 11 runs and one home run.
The future looks super bright for the Federal Way Eagles and head coach Danny Graham. The Eagles feature a very strong group of underclassmen and started the season with a pair of impressive non-league wins over Enumclaw and Decatur. Leading the list are freshmen Gabe Togia, sophomores Ben Koler, Eduardo Peraza and Christian Jones.
Things are also looking up at Jefferson.
The Raiders have started the season with a perfect 3-0 record with wins over Pasco, Lindbergh and Auburn after finishing 9-11 a season ago.
Head coach Joseph Townsend brings back a strong group of seniors in Niko DeLaCruz, T.J. Byrne, Gunnar Schubert and Caleb Wallen.
Byrne, a center fielder, hit .362 last year with 17 runs, nine RBIs and one home run and DeLaCruz, a shortstop/pitcher, led the team with 15 RBIs and five doubles. He was also 4-3 on the mound with a 3.41 earned-run average. Wallen finished 2-1 with an impressive 2.59 ERA.
Also helping will be junior Michael Zicca-relli (outfield), sophomores David Jaquish (C/P) and Garrett Shubert (1B/P), along with freshman Mason DeLaCruz (2B/P).
“The team will be suc-cessful if they play for one another,” Townsend said.
“They have great team chemistry, but the true test will be how they hold together when the times get tough.”

The announcement of a new program at Truman High School next fall recently left district officials and community members confused about the
changes set to take place at the district’s alternative high school.
Ron Mayberry, director of instructional technology for the district, was asked to provide some clarity on the changes planned for Truman next fall during the Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) board of directors meeting on Tuesday. He said the situation at Truman will be an either/or change and that no programs will be eliminated completely.
“This coming fall, we’re looking at two options happen-ing at the Truman campus,” Mayberry said. “We have the Career Academy … and Life Flex Prep is the new option that’s coming. It’s a fully blended model that will bring many extra opportunities for students to close the gap in credits and skills, and also have the opportu-nity for students to take courses they previ-ously had not been able to take due to the size and scale of the current program.”
Mayberry stressed a number of times throughout his brief presentation that what will take place at Truman next fall is just the addition of a new program, while the Career Academy will remain in place. What the new Life Flex program will offer, and to a lesser extent the Career Academy will take advan-tage of, is an opportunity for students to have “access to previously unaccessible resources, such as advanced placement programs” and a “wider selection of (Career and Technical Education, CTE) electives and additional fine arts” programs.
Mayberry said he’d spoken with a number of Truman students and found that 20 will take advantage of the Life Flex program, while 11 will stay within the reworked Career Academy program. Six indicated they plan to move on to the Skills Center to pursue their CTE interests, while eight are planning to take advantage of the Running Start program.
He also noted that two parent meetings are scheduled for April 2 and April 16, and that Truman principal Adam Kulaas has opened his doors to all concerned, schedule permitting. Mayberry closed by sharing a letter from a former Truman student who heard about the planned changes and initially felt it was going to be detrimental to the positive experience he had taken away from the school. After meeting with Kulaas recently, this student changed his mind, according to Mayberry.
“I had a chance for Mr. Kulaas to explain the new system to me, and much to my chagrin, I agree with (him) on this,” Mayberry read from the letter. “The new system is taking Truman in the direction it needs to go. The system will allow students who need to go faster, go faster. And to allow those who need things explained to them, to get their questions answered. This change needs to happen, because it’s going to allow Truman to flourish, instead of diminish.”
FWPS Superintendent Rob Neu, who was absent at the last meeting when the new changes were first presented, took the time to address the situation, saying FWPS still needs to improve at communication when making these changes. But Neu also noted that the educational modeling Life Flex is based off of is top-notch.
“First of all, process. It’s something we’ve been talking about this last year. We’ve got to get better at it. Better at
engaging our community in conversations, in particular our students,” he said. “Our research (shows) this is a proven strategy, a proven and effective pedagogy. It’s going to be a change in teaching strategy, they’re going to be more of a facilitator. But in the classrooms we visited, we saw that in action. And it’s powerful.”
Neu related how he and other district officials, Mayberry included, visited schools in Detroit, Mich. recently to see examples of blended learning. He noted the contrast of Detroit’s deterioration with the 21st-century learning that’s taking place in schools there.
“You’re going through neighborhoods with unbelievable blight, broken windows, boarded up houses, burnt out houses. And then you go into these classrooms and these beautiful children are engaged and learning is alive. The bastions of hope are their schools. It was an unbelievable experience,” he said.
The superintendent also stressed that the Life Flex pro-gram allows for more choice for Truman students, saying it wasn’t a change that’s going to be “implemented upon
anyone” but rather students are going to have the chance to “choice in.”
Board member Claire Wilson said that she felt blindsided by the proposed change at the meeting two weeks ago, and reiterated the need for district administrators to make sure everyone is included in the loop when a change like this is on the horizon.
“It’s very difficult to respond in a way and maintain positive support, when you want to have been able to ask the questions before the presentation comes,” she said. “I think it’s also impor-tant as we go through a change process to understand how we work with staff to help them understand what the change is, and then help them work within that (change) or help them prepare to make
some other decisions … The process piece is critical before it ever happens.”
Board vice president Geoffery McAnalloy, who was the most forceful with his questions of the situation at the meeting two weeks ago, said he feels reassured about the process after having the chance to have further discussions with administrators and staff, which was aided by a recent visit to Truman.
“I can tell you that I was really concerned the last time that it was a replacement or had the feeling of a replace-ment,” he said. “When we walked in with Adam (Kulaas, principal of Truman) the slide that was shared is it’s an either/or choice. So that took care of part of my concern.”
McAnalloy said he was told that the teachers who could potentially be displaced by the change in programs will not experience too great of a disruption to their careers and lives.
“This impacts everybody. I’m totally with you that it’s student-centered always, but these teachers give their lives and their hearts to us and we need to make sure we’re taking care of them as well,” he said. “It’s a partnership, and I think we’ll all work together, but we need to work on pieces that go into the process.”
Board president Carol Gregory said this situation will hopefully be a learning experience for all involved.
“You make some mistakes, you move on and learn from them,” she said, “and that’s what we’re into too. We really appreciate all of you that are concerned about this issue and hope you’ll continue to communicate with us.”

April 5th ~ 6thQ: Hey Mr. Federal Way, did you hear
that World Vision moved into the 21st century and agreed to hire people who are in same-sex marriages only to reverse that decision two days later?
A: Mr. Federal Way was all ready to lay a big hunk of praise on World Vision’s new policy to hire Christians in same-sex marriages in the United States. But that all changed Wednesday afternoon when, after facing a ton of protest, the Federal Way-based relief agency caved in and reversed a two-day-old policy and will not be hiring any homosexuals.
On Monday, World Vision announced that, after years of prayer about how to handle the issue of same-sex marriage, they had agreed to hire them. But, like with most things in life, the money started talking.
Just two days later, World Vision sent a letter to supporters saying the board made a mistake and was returning to its “old” policy requiring celibacy outside of marriage “and faithfulness within the Bible covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.”
“We have listened to you and want to say thank you and to humbly ask for your forgiveness,” the agency said in the letter, signed by World Vision president Richard Stearns and board chairman Jim Beré.
It’s too bad. It looked like World Vision was ready to make a statement about not discriminating as an employer. But it didn’t end up that way. Now, World Vision just looks like the spoiled-rotten kid, who gets to do whatever they want to do.
World Vision currently has an operating
budget of nearly $1 billion and conducts economic-development and emergency-relief projects around the world. There’s no questioning the work that World Vision does around the globe. They provide ap-proximately 100 million people in nearly 100 countries hope and assistance.
World Vision doesn’t discriminate when serving the poor and oppressed, giving un-conditional love to all people, and shouldn’t
discriminate who can work for the organization.
“We are brokenhearted over the pain and confu-sion we have caused many of our friends, who saw this decision as a reversal of our strong commitment to Biblical authority,” wrote Stearns and Beré. “We ask that you understand that this was never the board’s intent. We are asking for
your continued support.”In short, there are a lot more donors who
don’t condone same-sex marriage that give money to World Vision. The organization obviously found this out in just two days.
It’s too bad, World Vision. The poverty-stricken men, women and children that your organization assists without prejudice could care less who their benefactors are married to. Why do you?
Q: Mr. Federal Way, is it just me or does it seem like there’s a lot more kids smoking these days around town? I drive down 320th and always see multiple kids smoking at the bus stops.
A: It’s not just you. Mr. Federal Way has

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...

Ask David Schmidt about the mystery tour, and he is tight-lipped.
“I’ve told some people that a passport is not required for the trip,” Schmidt laughed, reluctant to disclose any more information about the Marvelous Mystery Tour in August that the Federal Way Community Center will host for seniors.
But all other trips were fair game, said Schmidt, senior and teen services coordinator for the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department.
The Federal Way Community Center - which serves more than 930 active seniors - is always brimming with trips and other activities for seniors to do, with a new line-up of fun this spring and summer.
The center, which hosts between 110-120 trips every year, will host a new excursion next month to the Grand Canyon National Park. The 10-day adventure runs from April 21-27 and spots are filling quickly, Schmidt said.

More amusingly, to me at least, and also indicative of the negative return on investment that social justice generates these days, came from South Puget Sound Community Col-lege (SPSCC) recently. According to various reports from the Seattle broadcast media, a staff group at SPSCC sent out an email for a “Diversity Happy Hour,” inviting staff mem-bers of color to get together and “’build support and com-munity’ for people of color.” The only problem? White staff members weren’t invited, and were actually told in that same email that they were more than welcome to “create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves.”
One of the great social justice buzzwords of our time, diversity, and its implied foundation of inclusiveness, has reached such a point to actually become exclusionary, i.e. less diverse.
To use the kids’ shorthand language of today: LOL. While this idea of a diminishing return of investment
is usually only for economics and finance, I do believe we are seeing this process play out today with various groups mandated adherence to, or voluntary and distorted inter-pretations of, social justice constructs. Both our story here in Federal Way, and the story at SPSCC, seem to imply a system out of whack, at best, and, at worst, a system that is fast approaching a terminal limit.
Ain’t this modern world of ours grand?

incest, along with a myriad of other reasons. When given a true “choice,” almost always, women will choose life. Ac-cording to the Local Crisis Pregnancy Centers, 96 percent of women who receive an ultrasound within the first seven weeks of pregnancy will “choose” not to abort.
When you see 40 Days For Life people praying on the sidewalk, they are not only praying to end abortion, they are praying for the lives of women, men, children, grand-parents, doctors, nurses, clinic workers, government, clergy and much more. While I agree with Amy Johnson regarding we “have choices” and “empowering” our chil-dren to “make mostly responsible ones,” taking the life of an innocent child who has no voice or “choice” should be neither responsible or acceptable.Lisa Tinsley, pastoral assistant, Federal Way St. Vincent de Paul
[ LETTERS from page 4]
BY GREG ALLMAIN
Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) are once again cultivating
a somewhat positive outlook as the district prepares its upcoming budget, which is scheduled to be first pre-sented by Superintendent Rob Neu on May 13.
Assistant Superinten-dent of Business Services Sally McClean shared a brief report on budget pos-sibilities during the FWPS board meeting on March 11, saying that while still not the best of all worlds, the fund-ing situation from Olympia is improving after five years of stagnation.
“We get to make choices about what to add this year, instead of choices about how to subtract,” she said. “I hope I remember how to add.”
The Washington state Legislature approved its mid-biennium budget the
same week that McLean gave her update, and some of those projections held true, McLean wrote in an email with The Mirror.
“K-1 high poverty will be funded at a class size of 20.3, as presented in each of the budget proposals,” McLean wrote. “This funding goes beyond the typical revenue allocation, and requires that building by build-ing, we achieve an average class size of 20.3.”
This presents a unique and probably chal-lenging opportu-nity for FWPS, as McLean touched on in her March 11 presentation.
“Currently, we have 20 of our 23 elementary schools that qualify as high poverty,” she said. “What is unusual about this funding stream
… typically our funding formulas are allocation for-mulas. They take all the fac-tors …and voila, that’s how much money you have to work with to figure out how to use in your instructional programming. What’s hap-
pening with this class size money is … there will be a compliance measure-ment attached to that. If you think about some of the challenges of max funding, if you think about some of our small elementary
schools, with two kinder-garten classes and two first grade classes … Well, when you have 20 in one class and 21 in another, your average is going to be 20.5, so you’re not going to achieve max
funding because you can’t get to 20.3.”
“Quite frankly our schools are neighborhood schools and students don’t come nicely bundled in increments of 20.3,” she added.
Another increase in funding that the Legisla-ture approved is in MSOC (materials, supplies, and operating costs) funding. That increase will be a boon for FWPS, McLean wrote.
“OSPI estimates an increase of $2.2 million to provide opportunities for strategic investments in cur-riculum and instructional materials, technology and building maintenance,” she noted in her email.
McLean also noted that there was some negative news out of Olympia after the Legislature adjourned, writing that there was no state allocation for a cost-of-living-adjustment for K-12 employees. What McLean titled the “Supplemental
Capital Budget,” which would have provided $700 million to “create space to reduce K-1 class size and accommodate full day kindergarten” failed to pass. This is important because one of the long-term goals for schools set by the Legis-lature is to reduce K-3 class size down to 17 students per every teacher.
“To give you some idea of the magnitude of the need for us to take our current K-3 population size to 17 in our high poverty schools, we need 109 classrooms,” she said. “That is prob-ably equivalent to five new elementary schools, and would probably mean we need $150 million (to build those schools). I don’t know where we’re going to get
$150 million when we’re only one district out of 295 in the state.”
One other time bomb that districts will now have to deal with is the state’s non-adherence to its No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waiver. Arguments between various factions prevented the state from being able to act on this, and will result in districts reverting to NCLB requirements, which will have some “financial sanc-tions,” according to McLean.
Neu is set to present his first budget recommenda-tion on May 13, and will hold two public hearings on June 10 and June 24, with adoption by the board scheduled for June 24. For more information, visit www.fwps.org.

This is the single-largest individual display in the RSBG devoted to a single group or theme in the entire garden. With an almost complete collection of “the big-leafs” (members
of rhododendron subsec-tions Falconera and Gran-dia) on display beneath a grove of proportionally massive native conifers (Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western red cedar), this will be a fantastic educational and aesthetic presentation.
Each of the species is represented by numerous specimens representing collections from as many different provenances as possible.
Many of these rhodo-dendrons are already 25 or more years in age and are reaching heights of 10 and 12 feet. As a bonus, visitors can see the greatest number of different big-
leaf species in flower ever witnessed at the RSBG.
The big-leaf blooming season is kicking off with semnoides, rothschildii, watsonii and the very rarely seen pudorosum in early March, followed by hodgsonii, galactinum, basilicum, arizelum, coria-ceum, rex ssp. fictolacteum, sinofalconeri and kesan-giae, and wrapping up with rex ssp. rex in early May. Many of these plants are blooming for the first time.
In addition, a new path has just been punched through the native forest to maximize the full extent and reach of the garden’s irrigation system in the back portion of the big-leaf
garden. This has added a completely new section for planting and display that has increased the overall size of this particular sec-tion of the garden by at least one-third.
Not only is the new Big-Leaf Garden blooming, but a spectacular floral display is taking place as the largest number of different rho-dodendrons in bloom at any one time in their entire history is now happening.
The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden is located at 2525 S. 336th St., Federal Way.

for the award, which is awarded from fan votes on the na-tional newspaper’s website. He needs to be in the top-two vote getters in his region to move him on in the competi-tion. “We can vote as often as we want,” Brower said. “This is a wonderful gift that we can give to Dom in return for all that he has given us this year.”
A panel from USA TODAY High School Sports nar-rowed the submissions down to 100 athletes based on the stories and profiles. From there, contestants have been split into seven regions to compete for votes. Cooks is part of the Selfless Service Region, which has athletes whose last names fall between C and D.
There will be three rounds of voting, with the first round running until March 31. The top-two finishers in the first round advance into the semifinals. Also, the next 21 high-
est vote getters, regardless of region, will receive a wild card berth into the semifinal round. There will be 35 total athletes who will advance. The semifinal voting will run April 2 through April 5.
The 10 highest vote-getters will advance into the final round, which will run April 10-15.
Prizes for the 2014 Army National Guard Most Inspirational Athlete will be a feature article on USA TODAY High School Sports, an inspiration trophy and an in-school presentation, and a $1,000 donation to the school’s athletic department.
According to Cooks’s profile on the USA TODAY’s website, “Although his body did not allow him to play anymore, his mind continues to inspire his teammates, his school and his community. He was on the sideline for every football and basketball game this year. He has be-come a motivational force in our school — even perform-ing a speaking engagement at a neighboring high school. He is the most optimistic person I have ever met. When once asked, ‘what are you thankful for?’ Dom replied, ‘My tumor — for teaching me how to fight.’ And Decatur — for teaching me how to love.’ Even though his health is deteriorating, he is teaching his teammates and his school how to live.”
Cooks is actually already a Decatur High School graduate. The school organized a special commence-ment ceremony last month after he was given three to six months to live earlier in the fall. Cooks and his twin sister, Diamond, received their diplomas in front of a packed audience at Decatur, which also included a special appear-ance by Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin.
The cancer is sitting on Cooks’s brain and doctors can-not surgically remove it because of its location. Therefore, chemotherapy and radiation is the only option for killing and shrinking the tumor.
Cooks played football for Leon Hatch as a freshman and sophomore on the Gators’ defensive line. But every-thing changed during the spring of 2012 when doctors discovered the tumor. The diagnosis has changed Cooks’s perspective on life, as well as sports. The left side of his body is now pretty much useless and he spends a lot of his time in a wheelchair.
But Cooks got the honor of getting back on the football field during the fall. After a lot of communication between Decatur and Auburn Mountainview, Cooks was able to score one last touchdown for Decatur.
On that October night, the Gators’ offense lined up, with Cooks split out on the right side of the line in front of the Auburn Mountainview defense. Decatur quarterback Isaiah Hatch, the son of the head coach, then hit junior re-ceiver Isaiah Diggs with a pass, Diggs then pitched the ball to Cooks on a hook-and-ladder play. Cooks did the rest, completing a few juke moves before scoring his “dream” touchdown.
After he crossed the goal line, Cooks completed his spe-cial “touchdown dance,” which included finger-rolling the football out of his right hand, before both teams, coaches, cheerleaders and fans surrounded him, yelling his nick-name, “Cookie, Cookie, Cookie.”

also noticed what looks like underage kids smoking heaters. With that in mind, Mr. Federal Way’s research staff did some research on the subject and came up with some interesting tidbits.
The key is always stopping kids from getting the ciga-rettes to smoke. It’s pretty similar to going after drug dealers. But, when it comes to cigarettes, the dealers are the retailers that sell them to minors.
And for the second year in a row, stores in Washing-ton shows about 15 percent of tobacco retailers sold tobacco to minors in 2013. As recently as 2009, that rate was much lower, at about 9 percent.
“It’s unacceptable that more than one in seven retailers in our state illegally sells tobacco to minors,” said Secretary of Health John Wiesman. “Stopping youth from buying tobacco is one of the best prevention tools we have. It only works when retailers follow the law. They must do better. The health of Washington’s youth is at stake.”
You’ve all heard the stats about youth who smoke are way, way more likely to die prematurely.
But kids who smoke are also more likely to have other challenges, such as poor grades and illegal drug use. About 85 percent of Wash-ington adult smokers start at or before age 18.
In addition, if the rate of retailers selling tobacco to minors exceeds 20 percent, Washington could lose $13.5 million dollars in federal funding for drug, alcohol and tobacco prevention and treatment.
Q: You are obviously a “big hitter” around Federal Way. The sort of fellow who, by simply ask-ing a question, can make something happen. Here is today’s opportunity. I think this would be directed to the city of Federal Way Public Works Department. What possible reason exists for the delay in the road widening project at 348th and 21st Avenue? It was supposed to be complete before Christmas, yet it lingers.
A: Mr. Federal Way appre-ciates the compliment. Mr. Federal Way obviously likes to think of himself as a big hitter around the city. Hence the title of Mr. Federal Way.
According to the city, the project was suspended in the fall due to weather, which
shouldn’t shock anyone. The weather is bad every fall and spring and Mr. Federal Way assumes everybody knows this tidbit.
The city and contrac-tor are now awaiting the needed weather conditions to complete asphalt overlay and striping. The end result of this project will be a wid-ened Southwest 336th and Southwest Campus Drive to construct dual left-turn lanes eastbound and west-bound and a right-turn lane westbound.
This project will include access control along South-west 336th Street and also install a new traffic signal west of the intersection to allow for left turn access into the businesses north and south of the roadway.
The original timeline stated that all the asphalt overlay and striping would be completed by Oct. 1, 2013. However, there was a manufacturer delay in the delivery of key signal equip-ment parts and, in turn, that delayed the paving past Oct. 1.
Subsequently, the work was suspended for the win-ter. According to the city, the contractor on the project,
SCI Infrastruc-ture, is not owed any additional money during the work suspen-sion. Which is something Mr. Federal Way could honestly care less about.
Mr. Federal Way would have much rather had the project com-
pleted during its original timeline. Driving around that intersection has been a hassle since work started almost a year ago.
Mr. Federal Way and his fellow drivers who use this intersection on a daily basis are still frustrated that they have to dodge orange cones, drive over bumpy asphalt and sit through very poorly-timed and confusing traffic signals.
Let’s hope the sun comes out, which will likely be sometime around the Fourth of July.
Q: The Seattle Mariners open their 2014 season Monday night on the road against the Angels. I think the addition of Robinson Cano makes us World Series contenders. What is your opinion, Mr. Federal Way?
A: None of your business.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
