DESCRIPTION
May 31, 2013 edition of the Federal Way MirrorTRANSCRIPT
By GREG ALLMAIN
The Federal Way City Council entered into a memorandum of under-standing with the Fed-eral Way Coalition of the Performing Arts (FWCPA) with a 7-0 vote during the council’s May 21 meeting.
The memorandum established guidelines for
the relationship between the city and the FWCPA re-garding fundraising efforts for the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), said Patrick Doherty, director of economic and community develop-ment.
“Naming rights, grant writing and the local capital
campaign are where we and the coalition have a relationship, as described in
the memorandum of understanding,” Doherty said.
The memoran-dum of understand-ing is a vehicle to allow the coalition
and the city to collaborate on the capital campaign and raise money for the
project.Doherty outlined the
roles described for the FWCPA and the city in the memorandum. For the FWCPA, responsibilities will include:
• Researching and writ-ing of grant applications;
• Managing the local capital campaign;
• Submitting funds to a city managed account;
• Collaborating with the city on informational/pro-motional materials;
• Collaborating with the city on securing any nam-ing rights funds;
• Provide donor infor-mation to the city on a monthly basis and indem-nify the city.
The city’s role will mostly be oversight, Doherty said.

FW schools will see more moneyBy GREG ALLMAIN
Federal Way Police Department (FWPD) Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter is back on the History Channel this spring as a competitor in the show “Top Shot All-Stars” competi-tion. The all-star compe-tition brought back 16 of the show’s finest marksmen — those who, while not winning the title of Top Shot, made it to the later stages of the competition and came up just short.
Along with Sumpter, Kent resident and Sea-son 1 competitor Kelly Barchand was selected for the all-stars com-petition. Sumpter is a competition marksmen and a longtime veteran of FWPD, while Barch-and is considered one of the best long-distance marksmen in the world, having competed inter-nationally with the U.S. National Rifle Team.
All-star competition is structured differently than previous seasons, as host Colby Donaldson said before the first com-petition in this week’s season premiere.

The Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) superintendent’s budget recommendation has staved off significant cuts for the first time in
a number of years, and actually saw money being added back into the district’s coffers for the first time in a while.
Sally McLean, assistant super-intendent of business services for FWPS, had some good news to
share with the school board during the May 28 meeting.
As a result of the State Supreme Court’s McCleary decision to fully fund education, Federal Way will see an increase in money to pay for Materials, Supplies and Operat-
ing Costs (MSOC). According to McLean, the district will receive $1,850,000 toward the amount that’s used from local levies to offset supplies and operating costs.

A mock DUI crash scene was staged Thursday morning at Todd Beamer High School to send a powerful reminder before this weekend’s prom. Rescue personnel assisted the students in a scene involving two cars and two fatalities. Minutes before the presentation, Decatur High School alum Mike Bowles told seniors about two of his best friends - Nick Hodgins and Derek King - who were killed by a drunk driver in 2010, just days before graduation.

Beloved music teacher
and community volunteer Donald M. Barrows died peacefully at home May 25
after battling brain cancer. He was 76.
Barrows was the first choir teacher at Thomas Jefferson High School when the school opened in 1969. He was also a choir director at Fos-ter, Lincoln and Kentridge high schools. His musical ties in the community ran deep. He helped start the Federal Way Chorale and the Puget Sound Musical Theater, and was a legend-ary 30-year choirmaster at St. Vincent de Paul Church.
The City of Federal Way recognized him with a proclamation for Don Barrows Day on May 20, 2006. He received the Gov-ernor’s Award in 2012 for Excellence in Service with Kiwanis International.
The funeral service will begin at 1 p.m. May 31 at St. Vincent de Paul Parish, 30525 8th Ave. S. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Don Barrows Cancer Relief Fund at gofundme.com/barrows. The fund will offset the out-of-pocket costs of $76,481 for cancer treatments not covered by insurance.

investigation uncovers unusual fraud scheme involving used car salesBy GreG aLLMaiN
The Preventing Auto Theft Through Regional Operational Links (PATROL) task force, headed up by Federal Way Police Department Lt. Tracy Grossnickle, announced that an investigation uncov-ered an unusual fraud scheme involving the sales of used cars.
According to PATROL and the Wash-ington State Department of Licensing (DOL), Antonio Lopez Miranda, 56, and his son Antonio Lopez, 36, who own T&C Auto Sales in SeaTac and T&C Wrecking in Seattle, are alleged to have forged the necessary documents for used car sales by making the sales appear as “gifts.” This sidesteps the need to pay the state excise tax on such sales.
Along with that, two employees of the White Center DOL Licensing Subagent center in Seattle, 49-year-old Karen Sim-mons and 54-year-old Lou Ann Myer of Tukwila, are alleged to have allowed the processing of these fraudulent documents in their work at the licensing business.
“The owners of T&C are Hispanic, and they speak fluent Spanish,” Grossnickle said in a press conference May 23 at Federal Way City Hall. “The vast major-ity of these transactions were conducted with Hispanic (immigrants). Basically, they would come to (T&C), and bring the paperwork to them. The employees at (T&C) would request their information and the title information and then tell the people…(the necessary paperwork would) get back to them. As far as they
were aware, they’d get their registration, tabs and plates. Everything appeared legitimate. Several people we talked to had no clue and in no way had ever given their consent to have the car gifted.”
Grossnickle said T&C would charge those people a fee. The suspects are then alleged to have forged power of attorney paperwork and the gifting paperwork.
While the extent and duration of the fraud is unknown at this time, Gross-nickle gave an example of a $5,000 car. In that instance, the excise tax would be approximately $400 to $450. With a thou-sand such sales, the potential for the state being defrauded of significant amounts of money is high.
“(They) were making quite a bit of money,” Grossnickle noted.
In a turn of events, the two women accused of allowing the processing of the fraudulent paperwork do not appear to have been working in concert with the other two suspects, Grossnickle said. Instead, their motivation was a simple bo-nus system at their place of work, where they would be rewarded for the number of transactions they’d process.
“The subagents were not taking money from the father/son (team),” he said. “Initially, we thought that was what was occurring. According to the subagent employees, they were just taking bonuses from their employee. In an indirect way…they were conducting fraud for monetary gain, on both sides.”
According to Grossnickle, the investi-gation is still ongoing and may take some time, as investigators pore over records dating back as far as 2007. All suspects were interviewed and released from the Kent Jail on May 22, pending official charges. A third suspect from the DOL subagency business is still at large.

The report notes unknown suspects have been throwing rocks at the car, totaling $800 in damages.• Storage units burglarized: At 12:37 p.m. May 26 in the 34000 block of Pacific Highway South, a storage business reported that 11 of its units had been burglarized.• Man claims he was robbed: At 4:43 p.m. May 26 at an undis-closed location in Federal Way, a man reported being robbed at gunpoint of $700. According to the report, the man said he was walk-ing in some local woods when this happened. When pressed to give an official statement, or provide further details, the man refused.• Mother slaps daughter: At 8:22 p.m. May 26 in the 32000 block of 2nd Avenue SW, an adult woman was slapped by her mother during a drunken argument. The mother was arrested for assault.• Thwarted burglary: At 12:05 p.m. May 22 in the 900 block of SW 361st Street, a neighbor observed an adult male climbing the fence into his neighbor’s backyard.

FW man, 18, dies in one-car crashMIrror STaFF rePorTS
A Federal Way man was killed in a single-vehicle crash about 5 a.m. May 25 in Auburn.
Pavlo L. Myronets, 18, was traveling northbound on State Route 167 when his silver 2006 Scion TC left the roadway, struck the right-side barrier and came to rest in the bushes. The incident occurred near the South 277th Street exit.
The vehicle left several feet of skid marks before leaving the roadway. Dur-ing the crash, Myronets was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported to Harbor-view Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Drugs and alcohol were not involved, according to the Washington State Pa-trol. Reports say the driver may have been racing other cars on the freeway.
State troopers are looking for anyone who may have witnessed the crash. Con-tact (425) 401-7719.

I’m disgusted by article on mayor’s private conversation
My friends and neighbors and I were dismayed at the article on the front page of the May 24 issue of the Federal Way Mirror.
It concerned a private conversa-tion between Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest and an interim council member. We lamented over the obvious attempt to discredit the current mayor during this election year. The article was based on a public records request prompted by a tip from an anonymous informer, although the article had no real substance. This piece certainly wasn’t “a big scoop” deserving front page coverage, and quite frankly,
showed a shameful lack of discre-tion and integrity on the part of the newspaper and the faceless person who “leaked” the tip.
Let’s get real here: Community newspapers are unique and valued tools of communication that func-tion solely to keep residents and businesses updated on issues and events that build, encourage and support their communities. They demonstrate higher values, even though often the news is mundane. Their purpose is to pull together, not to tear apart.
Community newspapers avoid the temptation to print bottom-feeder articles; they leave that func-
tion to the “rags.”I’m disgusted with all parties
involved in getting this tawdry ar-ticle into print in our community’s Federal Way Mirror. Let’s see news on a higher plane from now on.Sandy Pettit, Federal Way
Make streets safe for biking and walking
May was Bike to Work Month, and Federal Way joined the rest of the region to celebrate on Friday, May 17. Perhaps you’ve seen the uptick of bikes on the road in your neighborhood. There are many great places to ride in Washington,
and the League of American Bicy-clists recently named us the “Most Bicycle-Friendly State” for the sixth time. But despite the designation, there is still a lot of work to do to make our streets safe everywhere and for everyone.
Sadly, this is evidenced by the recent deaths of Federal Way residents Lance David, who was killed biking in Seattle on May 1, and 8-year-old Wayde Rodrigues-Fale, who was killed biking on 24th Avenue South in Federal Way in July 2012.
The Federal Way community is already taking action to make streets safer for bikers and walkers.
In March 2012, the Federal Way City Council adopted a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that
In a season that has already seen several twists and turns, we now have another one.
A big one.Newly appointed Federal Way City
Councilmember Kelly Maloney has filed a complaint against Mayor Skip Priest alleging that he yelled at her, cursed at her, pounded his desk with his fist, cried when discussing Jim Ferrell’s candidacy for mayor, and at-tempted to intimidate her.
She says this happened during a meeting with the mayor to discuss a downtown project and the performing arts and conference center (PACC), about which she felt misled. She also said she will provide additional details.
Maloney further alleged that Priest told her in a previous conversation she shouldn’t have sent him an email that questioned his integ-rity because now it was in the public domain and subject to public disclosure — and that he would delete his copy. If he did, that could constitute destruction of public records, which is against the law.
Not surprisingly, the allegations have cap-tured public attention. And with both officials up for election, it would be naive to think the episode won’t be part of the election discussion. Their relationship prior to the incident would seem to have been cordial, as Maloney had served on an informal citizens group that met with the mayor to provide feedback.
Casual readers with little understanding of human resources and legal criteria would be advised not to jump to conclusions because you
happen to know either party. There are always unexpected twists in any investigation, and things may or may not be what they seem. Unfortunately, many have already made conclusions, and rumors abound.
In a press release accompanying the public release of the complaint, Priest said he was disappointed with her
inaccuracies and her version of events.The press release caught many by surprise,
but as a seasoned public official, and one who may be facing a difficult re-election, Priest was likely trying to get ahead of a story he knew was going to be a difficult political problem.
The press release allowed him to put his view in the public arena to try and shape public opinion. However, it also provided quotes that could be an issue later. Maloney responded that she was concerned the facts had been mischar-acterized by Priest.
In the complaint, Maloney did provide names of possible witnesses and names of other individuals she claimed had a similar interac-tion with Priest that she witnessed. She also said this was the second time Priest had treated her in this manner. The first time was prior to being appointed to the council. She said it

In an effort to improve our fair city (which is always my goal), I am proposing the 1 percent solution.
Too often, citizens of Federal Way feel disconnected from our local government employees.
While unfortunate, many citizens only interact with government employees on negative terms (e.g. paying taxes, getting a ticket, code enforcement, learning about employee benefits unheard of in the private sector, etc.).
While I cannot speak for local government employees, I can only imagine that they often feel unappreciated by the very citizens they are trying to serve.
The lack of positive experiences reduce our col-lective productivity and create animosity between two groups of people who share the same goal: improving our city.
I propose that local government employees be strongly encouraged to spend 1 percent of their time each month, working alongside our citizens at local non-profit organizations (approximately two hours monthly based on a 40-hour work week). In a perfect world, these employees (and everyone else), would simply donate their time to the community. However, we do not live in a perfect world. As such, I propose the two hours of monthly service be done “on the clock.”
Community organizations in need of volun-teers include FUSION, Communities in Schools, Multi-Service Center, Centerstage Theatre, St. Francis Hospital, Boy Scouts of America, Federal Way Chamber, Boys and Girls Club, Federal Way Community Garden Foundation, Federal Way Se-nior Center, Advancing Leadership, Little League sports, Federal Way Public Schools and countless others. I understand that this proposal is not with-out cost, and that there are a number of logistical issues that need to be resolved. Despite this, I offer three thoughts:
1. At least in theory, the entire purpose of local government is to improve the lives of its citizens. Working together in the trenches reminds both government employees and citizens that we are all in this together.
2. Without implying a lack of productivity, I am certain government employees can squeeze two hours monthly out of their busy schedules without negatively affecting public services.
3. Many of these non-profit organizations already receive funding from the various govern-ment agencies. The 1 percent solution is another way to support these organizations, especially as

you face budget cuts ahead.
Based on my own experi-ences of giving far more than 1 percent of my time to charity, such a policy could forever change the dynamic of our city.
City Hall (including po-lice), South King Fire and Rescue, Lakehaven Util-ity District and the school district (excluding teachers) should have little difficulty implementing this solution.
I would also ask every one of my fellow citizens and/or business owners to do the same. I will lead the effort by offering to pay my employees to give 1 percent of their time to charity. If we each gave just two hours each month, together we could forever change Fed-eral Way.

identifies and prioritizes necessary improvements. City staff have started implementing these, in-cluding improvements at Lakota Middle School late this summer that will add sidewalks and a peak time traffic signal on 14th Avenue SW.
The city has also added 13 flashing crosswalk bea-cons to alert drivers to the presence of people crossing the street. Dedicated bike lanes, sidewalks, traffic signals and other infra-structure are what we need to make the safe streets we know people want and use for biking and walk-ing as transportation. But without dedicated funding sources, it will be difficult to complete all the projects we need in Federal Way.
Advocates, community groups and nonprofits fac-ing similar financial con-straints in other cities have developed a new model called “neighborhood greenways.” Greenways are designated pedestrian and bike routes typically built on low speed neigh-borhood streets – instead of on high-traffic major streets. Signs and paint on the road help guide people along the route. Greenway projects are often commu-nity-led and are typically less expensive than major road projects. They will be an important part of a Federal Way transportation network that allows people to get from their homes and to work and to go shopping in town.
The Seattle Neighbor-hood Greenways group has successfully improved streets throughout Seattle. Now, the regional conserva-tion and community-build-ing organization Forterra is exploring the possibility of starting a greenways group in Federal Way. Contact Becca Meredith ([email protected]) for more information.
As a first step, Forterra and partners Bicycle Alli-ance of Washington, Cas-
cade Bicycle Club, the City of Federal Way and Phil’s Bike Shop hosted a Bike to Work Day Commute Station in the morning on Friday, May 17. The station was at the north end of the BPA Trail (11th Place South and South 324th Street) and we had a great turn-out. Forterra staff was on hand to give out snacks and coffee and chat with bikers who stopped by. Mayor Skip Priest was in atten-dance to talk about making streets safer in Federal Way. Thank you to all the bikers and walkers who made this celebration a success.
Lance David’s and Wayde Rodrigues-Fale’s untimely deaths were a tragedy. It is time now to do the work necessary to make our streets safe for everyone.Becca Meredith, Forterra Community Engagement Project Associate, and Phil Meyer, owner of Phil’s Bike Shop
Maligned mayorWe are writing to support
Skip Priest. We’ve known Skip for almost 20 years and have always found him to be the utmost example of what a public servant should be and he has always served this community very well. He has been a good friend not just to us but also to Federal Way and the whole 30th District. His leadership in helping to form Federal Way as a councilmember and then as a state representative and now as mayor has enabled us to be the great commu-nity that it is today.
Recent attempts to ma-lign his character are just the sort of ugliness that give “politics” a bad name and further debase the reputa-tion of Federal Way as a regional leader.
This city is full of won-derful community leaders, elected and appointed of-ficials and citizens that care. We proudly endorse Skip’s re-election campaign and wish him well.Karen and Tom Vander Ark, Federal Way
Traffic bluesAs a resident of Twin
Lakes, I would like to reply to Ann Caughey’s letter from May 17 in which she questioned the construction in the vicinity of 21st Av-enue SW, SW 336th Street, and Campus Drive. Yes, the current re-striping and initial construction and re-signalization is a total mess and backs up traffic real bad. It is going to become much worse.
The City of Federal Way will be taking property from various merchants and widening 336th and
Campus Drive in the vicin-ity of 21st Avenue SW, in order to provide enough width to handle the scheme of things they have planned.
According to city traffic engineer Rick Perez, there will be a dedicated lane for making right turns, two straight through lanes and two lanes for making double left turns.
When completed, this should speed up the traffic flow considerably. Rick states that this intersection is the worst one in the city west of Highway 99.Ken Shattock, Grouse Point Meadows HOA

out his impressions of what is happening in the city, and particularly city government, he should be talking to the horses. The city again had to take the time to correct his misstatements, this time about the Edmonds Center for the Arts funding.
It was amusing to note the know-it-all Czar, declaring “it is time for PACC supporters to get organized and start a capi-tal campaign,” wasn’t aware the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts (FWCPA) has been organized for months, has a team of grant writers investigating a long list of potential donors, and has three members who have recently attended two South Sound Grantwriters Association funders forums at their own expense. They were able to meet and identify those funders that support capital projects. The Czar and other may be interested to know that many who do not support brick and mortar aspects do fund equipment, operation, maintenance and programs.
The city and the FWCPA just signed a memorandum of understanding, so now further development of the fundraising campaign can continue. For over a year, an advisory committee that includes several members of the business community as well as an engineer, an FWPCA member, three council members and city staff have been discussing the fundraising aspects of the project, plus ways to approach likely donors interested in major contributions, and naming rights.
There will be public meetings to invite everyone interested to participate on various campaign committees. The FWCPA is an all-volunteer organization, with members of the board representing Federal Way’s performing arts groups. Rather than the $1 million the Czar suggests, we will have a goal of more than that. We will also create an endowment fund to help support the facility in future years.
So, dear Czar, so much is going on in a very positive way toward this project. You’re welcome to join us in bringing the PACC to fruition. For some of us, it has taken more than 20 years to get this far, and we are willing to work hard and invest our own money to make it happen. So please stop assuming nothing constructive is going on. Much groundwork is being down by several individuals already. We will be reporting soon on our progress.
Joann Piquette, Federal Way Coalition of the Performing ArtsNote: This letter reflects the view of the author and was written independently of the paper’s editorial board, of which the
writer is a member.
City rebuts Czar againIn Matthew Jarvis’ column last month on the proposed performing arts and conference center (PACC), he mixes apples and
oranges and comes up with a red herring.In the process, he errs in characterizing the financial status of the Edmonds Arts Center, as well as its relevance to the Fed-
eral Way project.In the 2012 Washington State Audit report on which his column focuses, one need only read to the report’s first page to see
the error (though reading the entire report is also informative).On that page, the Auditor includes a table with basic financial information over the 2008-2011 period. Looking at the opera-
tional costs and revenues over the four-year span cited, the facility lost $497,000 the first year, $260,000 the second, $43,000 the third, and by the fourth year, 2011, was in the black, with a $1,500 positive operational balance.
Basic financial principles assert that when a facility makes more than it spends during a year, it is making a profit, or in other words, is in the black.
Where Jarvis begins mixing apples and oranges is with the facility’s debt. Edmonds financed the renovation of an existing building into an arts center, using bonds and received capital funds loans from the city to cover operating expenses during 2008-2010.
The Auditor’s report found that, with the recessionary decline in sales tax, the City of Edmonds had not identified sufficient resources to continue paying debt service on the facility. These are two separate financial issues: operational performance and facility debt service.
While debt service is a very real issue for the City of Edmonds, it is a red herring in the discussion over the Federal Way performing arts and conference center, because the city’s proposed strategy avoids creating any debt for the proposed facility. Should the project move forward, the funding plan requires that construction funding be raised up front. There would be no debt involved.
It is unclear how Mr. Jarvis felt that suggesting one city’s issues with facility debt service would affect a Federal Way project proposed to be built without debt. Nonetheless, it is important to correct the record so that residents get a clear picture of what is actually being proposed.
Where the Edmonds facility is relevant to the discussion is in the review and development of the operational business plan for the Federal Way facility. At this point, the Federal Way City Council has only commissioned the development of schematic design plans, as well as a pro forma analysis of the operational business plan. This will take the current concept-level design to a permit-ready set of plans.
In addition, the pro forma analysis will review anticipated expenses and revenues of the operational plan to a level of detail necessary to inform the community discussion about whether moving forward to construction will achieve the community goals of spurring downtown development and providing desired cultural amenities.
Only at that point will the city council evaluate whether to move forward. It is a conservative approach; one that is designed to improve project design, and generate sufficient detail to inform the community conversation.
The pro forma analysis team includes professional experts in the performing arts, conference and hospitality industries and includes the director of the Edmonds Arts Center. As I noted to Matthew Jarvis in the email he referenced in his column, the importance of involving the Edmonds facility director includes gaining lessons learned from a similar performing arts facility (the Edmonds facility does not have a conference center component) that has opened and steadily improved its financial op-erations during the worst recession of the last 80 years. We believe there is valuable insight to be gained there.
While the Edmonds Art Center’s indebtedness is a red herring issue for a project to be built without debt, Edmonds and other facilities with similar performing arts and conference amenities will provide valuable information to the city council and community in evaluating the operational feasibility of the proposed performing arts and conference center project.

wasn’t as bad the first time and she was the one who cried.
The city attorney has hired an outside investiga-tor to look into the allega-tions and report back. We don’t know what direction was given to the investiga-tor. Was the investigator told to just investigate the specific complaint, as the press release seems to sug-gest? Or was the investiga-tor given the latitude to look into other behavioral
or legal issues that are also included in the complaint? What about the additional information Maloney said she will submit? She said she is concerned city em-ployees may be in a hostile work environment, as she is aware of other incidents. If so, why wasn’t it reported earlier? She needs to turn in all the information she has and let the investigator follow the trail of facts.
The city’s press release said no sanctions or re-quirements could originate from this type of complaint
for either party. It is too soon in the process to know for sure, but that may be true for Maloney as the complaining party. But the statement is likely based on the interpretation that the mayor, unlike a city manager, is not supervised by anyone who would have direct authority to disci-pline him if he were found at fault. That does not mean the mayor couldn’t face sanctions. If the charges are found to be accurate, the council could suggest sev-eral remedies to the mayor,
such as training. They couldn’t force any discipline on him, but public pressure might make a difference. The council could censure him, and although it has no substance, a censure would be an enormous political problem for him. However, these options have political risks for the council as well.
We will have a better idea when we see the results of the investigation.

Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club turns 50By SARAH DIMAKIS
For The Mirror
The Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club had its season opening on May 11. As a tradition, the club paraded through the neigh-borhood on decorated bikes dressed in 1960s clothing. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the club.
The club is hosting a block party from 1 to 4 p.m. June 22 to celebrate 50 years of service to the Federal Way community. The party is located at the Marine Hills pool in Federal Way on 600 S. 302nd St. and is open to the general public at no cost. The day’s activi-
ties include an open swim, a water safety booth and speaker, community safety information, a carnival and water games for kids, a raffle, and an ice cream so-cial. This will be a fun and informative day that the community won’t want to miss. This summer, the club offers competitive swim-ming, water polo and tennis teams as well as swimming and tennis lessons for kids of all ages and ability levels. The swimming team has won the all-city champion-ship for the past two years.
The pool is open to members seven days a week starting on June 19. Hours are 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 8 p.m. on weekends. For more information about hours and memberships, visit marinehillspool.org.
PowellsWood Garden to re-open: The newly renovated PowellsWood Garden, 430 S. Dash Point Road, will re-open its doors to the public with a celebration on June 22 and 23.

Prepare for Healthy Fun in the Sun(NewsUSA) - Cold weather is in the rear-view mirror, and families are gearing up to get active outdoors. Now is the time to get familiar with a few helpful tips to ensure a safe and stress-free season for the entire family: • Avoid insect bites. Take precautions, such as wearing insect repellent, tucking pants into socks or shoes when hiking in the woods, and avoid scented soaps and lotions that can attract bugs. • Always wear sunblock. Limit exposure to the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when sun rays are at their strongest. Apply sunblock that o� ers UVA and UVB protection with an SPF of 15 or higher, 15 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun; reapply frequently a� er activities. • Avoid heat stress and heat stroke. It’s easy to get caught up in the fun of outdoor activities, but in extreme heat conditions it’s important to not push beyond your physical limits. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and be on alert for symptoms, such as thirst, cramps, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fever. • Get your physical. If children are planning on participating in camp or sports over the summer, it’s important that they have an exam to ensure they’re physically ready to be active.
Historical Society honored for restoring Denny CabinBy MAUREEN HATHAWAy
For The Mirror
On April 23, the AK-CHO (Association of King County Historical Orga-nizations) awards were presented at the Museum of History and Industry by King County Executive Dow Constantine.
The Historical Society of Federal Way was awarded the AKCHO award in the long-term project category for the restoration of the Denny Cabin.
The Historical Society serves the public through
researching, preserving, educating, and displaying the history of Federal Way to build a sense of commu-nity identity and heritage.
The David T. Denny Cabin restoration began in 1966, and has continued off and on for years with soci-ety volunteers and fundrais-ing activities (including recent 4Culture assistance) until the completion of restoration in May 2012.
A restoration celebra-tion was attended on May 12 by community leaders and members. The Denny Cabin and the restored Barker Cabin now grace the entrance to the West Hylebos Wetlands Park on South 348th Street. The Denny Cabin, the Barker Cabin and the Wetlands
Park are definitely a part Federal Way’s hidden jewel.
A new brochure (funded by a Federal Way tourism grant) encourages people to visit the two historic cabins and observe our past and how we lived.
David T. Denny came from Illinois by covered wagon in 1851. He was arguably the first perma-nent non-native settler in what was to become Seattle. By 1870, Denny controlled a lot of real estate in North Seattle. In 1889, he built the Denny Cabin as an office on Queen Anne Hill. After his land business went bankrupt, the building had many uses (a kindergarten class, a men’s church group, and personal residences). From the late 1920s until it
closed in the 1950s, the cab-in housed Green’s Tavern.
In 1966, the cabin was relocated from the base of Queen Anne Hill to the Federal Way Shopping Center to become part of the pioneered theme Heritage Village. The cabin was moved to its present lo-cation at the West Hylebos Wetlands Park in 1992.
In 1992, a few years after the Historical So-ciety was organized, and two years after the City of Federal Way was incorpo-rated, funds were organized to begin restoration with volunteer labor. A roof structure was installed on the Denny Cabin and the door and window openings were covered with sheets of plywood. In 2010, funds
On April 23, Bert Ross, Lou Olmstead, Vernon Jenkins and Jerry Knutzen accepted the AKCHO award on behalf of the Historical Society of Federal Way.
became available from orig-inal fundraising activities. Windows and doors were fabricated by a craftsman and stored inside the cabin, awaiting installation.
In early 2010, a com-prehensive plan for final restoration of the cabin was developed under the direc-tion of Historical Society board member Bert Ross. A major grant of $15,000
from 4Culture was received, and during the last half of 2011, and into early 2012, about 700 volunteer hours and $15,000 in Historical Society funds were incurred to complete the project.
The Denny Cabin roof is relatively new and some of the logs have been replaced due to deterioration, but most logs are original and over 120 years old.

...summer fun!“The city’s responsi-
bilities are to provide financial oversight and administration, provide technical assistance and documentation, to collabo-rate on informational and promotional materials, and collaborate on the capital campaign efforts,” Doherty said.
Business communityCouncilmember Diana
Noble-Gulliford wondered that if there would be any similar agreement reached with the business commu-nity for fundraising efforts, citing the fact that it seems the “conference center” portion of the PACC con-tinues to get overlooked.
Doherty said that while there is no independent group from the busi-ness community like the FWCPA, the naming rights for the facility would likely provide an opportunity for the business community to contribute to the project.
Mayor Skip Priest said Noble-Gulliford’s question was “well asked,” and that the city “cannot afford to avoid the business com-munity in being part of this process.”
Councilmember Jeanne Burbidge said the business community has expressed strong interest in support-ing the PACC.
“We have had business people from our commu-nity come forward and say they would assist in fund-raising in a very significant way,” she noted.
Doherty recognized
Noble-Gullford and others’ concerns, but reiterated that the memorandum of un-derstanding with the FW-CPA was for the relation-ship between the city and that organization only, and that to try and co-opt the FWCPA to include business interests would probably be an inappropriate move on the city’s part.
“It may not be entirely appropriate ask an orga-nization that’s focused on the arts to pursue fundrais-ing through the business community, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do that on our own,” he said.
New websiteLast week, the city
launched a website for the PACC project at www.federalwaypacc.org.
The site provides concept drawings of the proposed PACC, along with a sum-mary of the project’s con-struction costs, amenities and mission.
The project has been estimated to cost nearly $32 million. This 41,000-square-foot building is slated for the former Toys R Us site on 20th Avenue South (near the Federal Way Transit Center). Plans include a 700-seat two-tiered auditorium, 125-room hotel, a kitchen, and 8,000 square feet of confer-ence space.
On May 23, the city hosted a public forum at The Commons Mall to discuss details of the project. At least 30 people attended, in addition to all seven members of the city council.

Women’s Club supports charities
for any basic education funding increase were the salary increase through Initiative 728 and its ac-companying Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), which were passed in 2001.
Some other areas that will see increases in state funding include Special Education/Basic Educa-tion Allocation, which will see an anticipated bump of $660,000. Transporta-tion funding will see an expected increase of about $1.6 million.
“That (transportation funding increase) will re-lease those funds that we’ve been using out of our local levy to support transporta-tion and allow us to support
something different,” McLean noted.
Another increase is the addition of all-day kin-dergarten for students at Valhalla Elementary. The total estimated McCleary increase for the district is $4,435,000.
“This represents about 50 percent of the I-728 fund-ing we lost two years ago,” McLean said. “It’s really exciting to talk about resto-rations and enhancements, but we’re still far from being whole.”
McLean noted that with freeing up of some of the local levy/local equaliza-tion assistance monies, the district hopes to eliminate approximately $735,000 in fees it collects from students/parents for various
classes, clubs and activities.“That might be for
student planner (books), it might be for an art class, it might be for an instrument rental,” she said. “We’re looking to remove all of those barriers to students who may not enroll in classes that have associated fees with them.”
The district anticipates it can now absorb the costs of athletic transportation in the upcoming school years. The district had moved to have those costs absorbed by schools’ Associated Student Body clubs with fundraising drives, but can now eliminate that need.
One increase in expen-ditures was a 2.25 percent increase into retirement/pension funds for FWPS
employees. That 2.25 per-cent increase will translate to approximately $1.7 mil-lion, McLean said.
Other areas that the district has restored or plans to restore are elemen-tary school counselors and custodial positions. The elementary counselor positions that were reduced two years ago have been restored, and so have three custodial positions.
“It’s so much nicer than times gone by,” board presi-dent Tony Moore said. “I love what I’m seeing.”
The first public hearing for the 2013-14 budget is scheduled for the board’s June 11 meeting, with final adoption of the recom-mended budget slated for the board’s June 25 meeting.

For this season, the competitors will not be broken out into teams, and the “Nomination Range” has been taken out of the competition.
“(This season is) all about skill,” Donaldson informed the competitors before the first competition of the season. The all-stars are fighting for $100,000 and a Tahoe Q5i speedboat, and of course, the pride of win-ning from the best of the best that the show has so far
assembled.Sumpter said he was a
little saddened to not have the team competition for this season, but, as a com-petitive marksman, was also happy with the fact that the “Nomination Range” had been taken out of the show.
“It’s all skill-based. You shoot straight, or you’re gone,” he noted.
For the first competition, Sumpter and Barchand and their fellow competi-tors navigated an obstacle course to three shooting stations. The three firearms
for the first competition were the SVT-40, a Russian gun that was popular dur-ing World War II; the Larue Tactical OBR; and the FAL ISS, a firearm preferred by United Nations peacekeep-ing forces.
Sumpter, who came into the season nursing a hip injury, said the obstacle course as the first challenge was daunting.
“The very first challenge is going to involve running, climbing, crawling?” he said wryly in a phone interview. “Everything I had hoped to not do was involved in the very first event.”
For Barchand, the ob-stacle course was interest-ing, especially the part that required a belly crawl under barbed wire.
“There’s an explosion, there’s a fireball, this is crazy,” he said on the show.
Even with the various elements of the obstacle course, both Sumpter and Barchand had respectable finishes, with Sumpter finishing in 2:21, and Barchand taking first place at 1:26.
The two competitors who had to fight for their survival in Episode 1 were Sumpter’s fellow competitor from Season 4, Greg Little-john, and Gary Quesen-bery, one of the final three competitors from Season 3. In the end, Quesenbery won a challenge involving grenade launchers, sending Littlejohn home as the first competitor eliminated for the all-star season. For Sumpter, seeing Littlejohn eliminated was bittersweet.
“I hated to see anybody from Season 4 go. When we got there, it was like a fam-ily reunion,” he said.
However, the viewing audience was apparently happy to see Littlejohn go, Sumpter said, because of the reaction of the viewing party Wednesday night at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Federal Way.
“When Littlejohn was eliminated, the place erupt-ed in cheers. Obviously he was the guy the audience loved to hate,” he said.
Heading back down to California and the “Top Shot” camp was something that Sumpter said he was happy to relive, espe-cially when the competitors learned they were part of the all-star competition.
“I felt so privileged to be back, that was the overall feeling I had,” he noted.
Check it out“Top Shot” airs at 10 p.m.
Wednesdays on the History Channel. For more infor-mation and content, visit www.history.com/topshot.
[ TOP SHOT from page 1] Fitness Evolution will take empty Big Lots siteMirrOr STaFF rEPOrTS
Fitness Evolution is slated to open this fall at the former Big Lots store, 1211 S. 320th St., next to Safeway. The announcement was confirmed by Merlone Geier Partners, which has owned the site since 2011. Fitness Evolution has fran-chises in eight states and bills itself as “a premium fitness club without premium prices.” Big Lots closed on April 15. A company spokeswoman said the store is looking for a new location in Federal Way.
• Top building: Top Food and Drug closed last month, leaving behind an empty building at 31515 20th Ave. S. The city’s department of economic develop-
ment has reached out to the build-ing’s owners to help recruit a new business to the site, said city spokesman Chris Carrel. Finding a tenant is a challenge because the
60,000-square-foot building was meant for a grocery store, and few
grocery stores are expanding, Carrel said, likening the challenge to the former Met-ropolitan Market on Dash Point Road. “If the owner brings potential tenant projects through the permitting system, the city stands ready to work with them to see that the space is filled,” Carrel said.

Fairytale finish: Eagles sweep track titles
By CasEy olson
It was safe to say that the Thomas Jefferson boys soccer pro-gram is the cream of the crop in the state of Washington. It’s even
safer to say now. The Raiders won their state-
record eighth title Saturday night with a 3-0 thrashing of the Union Titans at Puyallup’s Sparks Sta-dium. And all eight of the cham-pionships have come in the last 30 years and all have come in the largest classification in the state.
“There is nobody even close in the state, 1A, 2A or 3A,” said TJ head coach Dave Hanson. “No-body. That’s a title pretty much every four years. That’s pretty amazing.”
Saturday’s win capped a perfect 19-0-4 season for Jefferson and comes 30 years after the program’s first state championship in 1983.
“I think being TJ soccer helps our mentality,” senior Matthew Cruz said. “It makes us want to win that much more.”
“This feels amazing,” said senior Luis Alvaro Osornio after the win. “There are no words to even describe it. It’s what we’ve been fighting for. I just don’t have the words.”
Raiders outscore two opponents, 6-0, during the weekend, finish the season unbeaten
By CasEy olson
Mitch Stewart capped a busy week-end by standing on top of the podium once again.
The Federal Way High School ju-nior won his second consecutive Class 4A singles championship Saturday at the Columbia Basin Racquet Club in Richland.
Stewart dominated the competition during the State Boys Tennis Tournament. He didn’t lose a set in his four matches and beat Gonzaga Prep’s Alex Marchinkowski in the champi-onship match, 6-2, 6-1. The win also completed Stewart’s second unbeaten season in a row. His only loss came in the state title match during his fresh-man season.
The doubles team of Zach and Cameron Martin led the way for the Jefferson Raiders. The Martin brothers finished up in fourth place. Singles player Alex Chan ended up in fifth place.
The performances led Jefferson to the school’s highest-ever team placing of third place. Despite the rich tennis history at TJ, the Raider boys have never placed at a state tournament, until Saturday. Newport won the team

Federal Way boys set state-meet record, girls slip by Curtis to claim championship; Curran, Vongsaveng win state titlesBy CasEy olson
It was a very historic weekend for the Federal Way High School track and field team. For the first time in the long and rich history of the program, both the boys and girls proved to be the best of the best in Washington.
The Eagle boys, who were dominant all season long and the prohibitive favorites entering the weekend, set a meet record with 90 points during the Class 4A State Track and Field Championships at Mount Tahoma High School.
It was far more dramatic for the Federal Way girls. The Eagles won the state team
title by the slimmest of margins, 42-41, over division-rival Curtis.
The Federal Way girls got a huge performance from Mariyah Vongsaveng, who was responsible for 33 of the Eagles’ 42 team points. The sophomore won the individual state title in the 100-meter hurdles by running a 14.55 Friday night in Tacoma and also finished fourth in the 300 hurdles (44.51).
Vongsaveng ran on a pair of relays for Federal Way, including the state-champi-onship in the 4x100. The team of Gabriela Pelogi, Ta’Mara Richey, Vongsaveng and Karis Cameron won the title in the 4x100 relay in a time of 47.85 over second-place

Bethel (48.25). The same foursome was second be-hind Curtis in the 4x200 in a time of 1:41.95.
But Vongsaveng’s best performance at the state meet might have come Friday morning during qualifying rounds of the 300 hurdles. During the race, Vongsaveng tripped over a hurdle on the first turn, falling to the ground and well behind the other seven runners in the heat. But Vongsaveng got up off the track and went on to snag the third, and final, qualifying spot to Saturday’s final before collapsing just past the finish line from exhaustion.
The Eagles’ also got points from Richey, after

The future is very, very bright for the Todd Beamer softball program.
The Titans finished up their first-ever trip to the Class 4A State Tournament Saturday with an eighth-place finish at Merkel Park in Spokane. Beamer (23-9) ended up 2-2 during state with wins over Bothell and Lake Stevens.
And the Titans did it with only one senior seeing playing time during their run. Head coach Brian Hering will return eight starters next season, including All-South Puget Sound League South Division pitcher Madison Rogers.
Rogers won all 23 games for Beamer this season, throwing 204 innings and striking out a school record 301 hit-ters. She finished with a 2.26 earned-run average. Also back will be six hitters who topped .300 this year, including Analee Scott (.461, 33 runs) and Megan Jewett-Chan (.398, 33 RBIs).
Against Bothell in their opener, the Ti-tans took a 5-0 lead with single runs in the first, third, fourth and two in the second. Beamer then tallied four runs in the bot-tom of the sixth to put the game away.
The Titans got home runs from Maddy Colson and Halle Colson and two RBIs each from Kelsey McDonnell, Scott and Jewett-Chan. Rogers allowed only three hits and struck out 11. Both runs were also unearned.
Beamer then ran into the eventual state champions in the quarterfinals. Arlington shut out the Titans, 12-0. Beamer had only
three hits and also committed five errors in the field. Maddy Colson, Scott and Jourdin Hering had the only hits for the Titans.
After falling into the consolation bracket, Beamer assured themselves a trophy with a 4-0 shutout of Lake Stevens. Rogers allowed only four hits and struck out six. Offensively, the Titans got another home run from Taylor Weimern-Pierce, who finished with two RBIs. Halle Colson ended up 3 for 3 and McDonnell and Her-ing had the other two RBIs for the Titans.
Against Newport, Beamer fell behind 7-2 after the second inning, but fought back before falling 9-8 Saturday. McDon-nell finished 3 for 5 with two runs, two doubles and an RBI, and Jewett-Chan and Hering both knocked in a pair of runs for the Titans. Rogers and Scott both had a pair of hits. Rogers threw all seven innings and allowed only two earned runs, while striking out eight.

title with 19 points and Skyline was second with 14. Jefferson finished with 13 team points.
Federal Way, on the strength of Stewart’s state title, took fourth place as a team with 10 points.
After losing to a Lewis and Clark team in the quarterfinals, the Martin brothers won two-straight
matches to finish in fourth place. They beat Jackson’s Everet Wang and James Okubu, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, in the fourth/seventh match Saturday.
After losing his opening-round match Friday, Chan won three in a row in the consolation bracket to finish in fifth. The fresh-man beat Cascade’s Patrick Chung, 6-3, 6-2, in the
fifth/eighth match.In other singles’ action,
TJ’s Alex Lee and Federal Way’s Alex Lewis both lost two-straight matches Friday.
On the girls’ side, TJ’s Cindy Park and Crystal Lee, along with Beamer’s Jenny Hoefel and Kiele Bowman both failed to place. Both teams finished 1-2 during the tournament.

Bethel (48.25). The same foursome was second be-hind Curtis in the 4x200 in a time of 1:41.95.
But Vongsaveng’s best performance at the state meet might have come Friday morning during qualifying rounds of the 300 hurdles. During the race, Vongsaveng tripped over a hurdle on the first turn, falling to the ground and well behind the other seven runners in the heat. But Vongsaveng got up off the track and went on to snag the third, and final, qualifying spot to Saturday’s final before collapsing just past the finish line from exhaustion.
The Eagles’ also got points from Richey, after she finished third in the triple jump Thursday. Richey jumped 38-7 to finish behind Garfield’s Nhautrey Brown (39-0) and Gig Harbor’s Courtney Jost (38-8.75). Richey was also 11th in the long jump (17-1.75). Freshman Audrey Shin finished in sixth place in the high jump with a leap of 5-2.
The championship by the Federal Way girls comes a year and a half after former head coach, Jean Licari, died of a rare form of can-cer. Licari spent her entire 21-year teaching/coach-ing career at Federal Way. Current head coach Marcus Yzaguirre replaced Licari.
It was also the third state team title for the Eagles. They also won the champi-onship in 1976 and 1993.
It was a fairy-tale ending for the coaching career of Sam Beesley. The Federal Way boys’ state champi-onship is the first-ever in the long coaching career of Beesley. The 2013 State Track and Field Champion-ships marked the final meet of his 44-year run as a track and field coach.
Beesley has led the program to six consecutive South Puget Sound League
titles and haven’t lost a dual meet since the 2007 season.
During the state meet, the Eagles got individual state championships from a pair of underclassmen and numerous top-eight finishes to rack up the state-record 90 points as a team.
Junior Keenan Curran snagged the Eagles’ first individual state champion-ship of the meet Friday morning.
Curran, who will be one of the higher-recruited football players next fall, won the 4A championship in the triple jump under cold, windy and rainy weather at Mount Tahoma. Curran, who already has scholarship offers to play defensive back at such places as Yale, Army, Air Force, Idaho, San Jose State and Wyoming, jumped 46-1.25 inches to outdistance teammate D’Londo Tucker, who was second at 45-1.5.
The Eagles’ other state title came from freshman Tyson Penn in the high jump. Penn cleared 6-8 to equal his all-time, ninth-grade record in the state of Washington. Camas’ Grayson Anderson finished second at 6-6.
Senior Ezekiel McNeal ended his stellar career at Federal Way with a silver and two bronze medals in the three sprint events. Mc-Neal finished second in the 200 in a time of 22.11 and was third in the 100 meters (10.94) and 400 (48.61).
Fellow seniors Albert Havili and Michael Tate also had top-three indi-vidual finishes. Havili was third in the discus with a toss of 167-5 and Tate finished third in the long jump with a leap of 22-5.25. He was also sixth in the 200 meters (22.46).
Senior Aaron Persinger bounced back after suffer-ing a hamstring pull at the district meet to snag a pair of fourth-place finishes in the 110 and 300 hurdles. Tremaine Rambo was fifth in the 800 (1:55.12)
The Eagles’ 4x400 relay team of Persinger, Rambo, freshman Jason Palmer and Tate finished second behind South Kitsap in the 4x400 relay Saturday.
In other state champion-ship action:
• Beamer’s Chante Spotser came very close to claiming the 400-meter state championship Satur-day. The Titan sophomore finished just three-hun-dreths of a second behind Bellarmine Prep’s Hannah Derby in the final. Spotser ran a 55.87, compared to a 55.84 by Derby.
• Decatur’s Franky Siliga was ultra-impressive and dominated the throwing events in the wheelchair combined division Friday morning. Siliga set three state meet records in win-ning the shot put, javelin and discus. Siliga threw the shot put 24-4, won the javelin with a toss of 79-1 and took the discus with a throw of 67-9.
• Jefferson junior Kaya Warrior ended up fourth in the 4A girls discus with a toss of 123-3 Thursday. Moses Lake’s Sadie Nelson won the event with a throw of 136-0. Warrior was also sixth in the shot put at (38-10.25).
• Federal Way junior Mitch Stewart started his long weekend Thursday night by finishing in sixth place in the 4A 1,600-meter run. Stewart finished in a time of 4:18.72, just four seconds behind Mead’s An-drew Gardner, the winner of the race.
Following the race, Stew-art and his parents drove to the Tri-Cities, where he won his second-straight Class 4A state singles tennis championship.
Stewart has lost only one match during his high school career, which came to Jackson’s Michael Cham-erski in the singles champi-onship during his freshman season.
• Federal Way senior
Mathias Forward finished seventh in the pole vault with a leap of 13-6.
• Jefferson’s Montana Pel-legrini and Allison Arthur finished 10th and 13th overall in the 4A pole vault. Pelligrini cleared 10-6 and Arthur vaulted 10-0.
• The Decatur girls 4x100 relay team of Leah Johnson, Ericka Budinich, Desi Kamm and Sierra Shugarts finished fourth in a time of 49.05. The Gators also ended up fourth in the 4x200 relay. The team included Jenelta Yates, Kamm, Samyra Waters and Shugarts.
• Decatur junior Anna Paradee was fourth in the pole vault with a leap of 11-3. Mount Spokane’s Courtney Bray set a state record with a vault of 12-7.
• Budinich finished eighth in the long jump with a leap of 17-1.
• Decatur freshman Par-ris Watson ended up sixth in the 3A discus with a toss of 116-3.

The Raiders dominated posses-sion for the entire game Friday against Union, the champs of the Greater St. Helen’s League and a winner over Roosevelt Friday night. But Jefferson had trouble finding the back of the net in the first half, despite numerous op-portunities.
The Raiders’ first goal came from Cruz with 19:35 remaining in the first half. Senior Isidro Prado-Huerta, the Player of the Year in the South Puget Sound League, thew the ball into the penalty box, where senior Rodridgo Robles bounced it onto Cruz’s right foot. The senior calmly put the ball past the Union goalkeeper to give TJ the 1-0 lead.
“This is the best feeling in the world,” Cruz said. “And scoring just makes it that much better for me.”
But Cruz’s goal was the only score of the first half and the Titans still had hope of tying the game early in the second 40 minutes. But that belief all changed with 25 minutes left in the match.
That’s when Osornio dribbled through the teeth of the Union defense and hit a one-timer that bounced off the Union goalkeeper right onto the right foot of striker Brandon Madsen. The junior banged the ball into the back of the net for his 20th goal of the season, tops on TJ.
“This just feels awesome,” said Madsen, who scored in every post-
season game for the Raiders. “We were pretty relaxed coming in. We knew we were going to play well.”
Jefferson put the game away with 4:02 remaining when Osor-nio took a long pass over the top of a stretched Union defense and dribbled up the left side of the field and left-footed a shot into the goal to finalize the score, 3-0.
According to Hanson, he knew that this team was special a season ago, but the results just didn’t come. The 2012 edition lost in the opening round of the state playoffs.
“We had the talent last year,” Hanson said. “We just didn’t do it. So I changed my focus and how we played and how we compete. I just kept it simple with repetitions and the mental part of the game. Noth-ing was going to defeat us.”
The Raiders returned plenty from last year’s squad, which also won the SPSL North Division championship. But Hanson and the team got a huge lift when Prado-Huerta decided to quit his club team, Sounders FC Academy, and play high school soccer for the first time since his freshman season.
“We got a gift at the beginning of the season with Isidro leaving the (Sounders FC) Academy and coming on,” Hanson said. “He is unbelievable.”
Prado-Huerta, along with Osornio and Cruz, dominated possession of the ball for the Raid-ers in the middle of the field all season long and especially Saturday against Union. The trio’s on-ball
ability allows others, like Madsen, to roam free in the middle of the field.
“I won a lot of titles as a club coach,” Hanson said. “But this is an achievement. This didn’t start this year. It’s just an attitude and a willingness to work. It’s almost scary how quiet it is in the locker room with these guys. They just pay attention.”

The Raiders remained unbeaten on the season with an ultra-impres-sive 3-0 win over the Snohomish Panthers Friday at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup in the state semifinals. Jefferson used their opportunistic offense to reach the semifinals for the first time since winning 4A in 2005.
Cruz opened up the scoring Friday night against the top-ranked and unbeaten Panthers with a putback into the corner of the net. The goal was set up by a blast from Osornio, which was deflected by Snohomish goalkeeper Ryan Peters.
Jefferson held the 1-0 lead until 12 minutes after the halftime break when Osornio scored on a free kick in the 52nd minute.
The lead grew to 3-0 four min-utes later when Madsen connected after nice pass from Prado-Huerta. It was Madsen’s 19th goal of the season and Prado-Huerta’s team-high 16th assist.
The shutout in goal was senior McKay Owsley’s 10th of the season.
