The Attorney General’s Office is not planning to file criminal charg-

es against former Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest, who was caught removing city-confiscated campaign signs last September.

“The actions of the sus-pect, while perhaps viewed as suspicious to the report-ing officer given the time of evening when the suspect chose to retrieve his cam-paign signs, do not amount to a crime,” said Scott Marlow, assistant attorney general, in a letter he sent to the King County Prosecu-tor’s Office on Jan. 9.

He noted the Washington State Patrol’s initial investi-gation revealed a “complete lack of criminal activity in this matter.”

Priest said the outcome of the investigation “confirms what I’ve said all along … that I acted legally and ap-propriately when I picked up the signs.”

Movers and shakers’ oral history of cityBy CARRIE RODRIGuEz

When Phil Eichholtz scouted the Federal Way area 60 years ago, he saw a cluster of businesses along Pacific Highway South.

There was a service for nearly every need, includ-ing a grocery store and meat market across the street that sold everything from beef to appliances. There was a drug store and a hybrid post office that also sold books. He saw an electrical hardware store, an insurance company and three gas stations.

And a lumber store.A Pennsylvania na-

tive, Eichholtz served as an officer in the Army Air Corps during World War II and became interested in merchandising, before transferring to Spokane, where he met his wife. While they were looking for a place to settle down, he turned to his father-in-law for advice, who was a representative of a lumber magazine and familiar with lumber yards and manufacturers.

“My father-in-law said, ‘Phil, if you’re interested in merchandising, you ought to get into the retail lumber business,’” recalled Eichholtz, 91, during an interview with the Histori-

School district seeks participants for Grading Advisory CommitteeBy GREG ALLMAIN

[email protected]

One of the outcomes over the most recent uproar con-cerning Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) grading system is the formation of a

“District Grading Advisory Committee.”

The district began advertising this committee on Monday, with Assistant Superintendent of Teaching for Learning Marie Verhaar giving a brief report to the

FWPS board of directors during the board’s Tuesday meeting. Verhaar says the applications were already rolling in the one day between posting the notice for the committee and her presentation.

“The openings have been advertised widely, and we have 37 applications already,” she said.

Verhaar touched on some of the goals of this commit-tee, saying the “purpose of the committee is to share

research and to provide input and to continuously improve the effective grad-ing practices for all students in Federal Way.”

Priest said he appreci-ates the work that the state agencies did during this investigation, “unfor-tunately, the completion of the review comes two months after the political damage was done.”

The investiga-tion was launched after a Federal Way police officer observed Priest removing cam-paign signs from the so-called “sign jail” across from City Hall just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 24, 2013.

The city stores confis-

cated signs at the sign jail that are illegally placed in the city. Sign owners must pay a fine to get the signs back.

The police officer said it appeared that Priest

was stealing the signs because the activity took place at night. Video surveillance shows Priest remov-

ing the signs from the unlocked area, wip-

ing each sign down and placing them in his car.

However, Priest paid the appropriate amount for the signs and received authorization to retrieve the signs after hours, the

Attorney General’s Office concluded.

“The individual respon-sible for administration of the sign policy in the city of Federal Way set the suspect’s signs aside for the specific purpose of them being picked up af-ter hours,” Marlow wrote. “This arrangement was clearly not passed along to the police officer who witnessed and reported what he believed to be suspicious activity.”

The matter was eventu-ally referred to the attor-ney general in November, due to potential conflict of interest.

search the committee gath-ers will be communicated to Superintendent Rob Neu, who will forward that information to the board as policy recommendations.

The committee is slated to be made up of eight high school students, 16 parents, eight teachers, up to two community members and six district/school admin-istrators. Committee mem-bers are expected to serve two (school) years continu-ously, and are expected, to the best of their ability, to attend every committee meeting. Meetings will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month at the Educational Service Center (ESC). The meeting schedule for the remainder of this school

year is: Feb. 20, March 20, April 17 and May 15.

Verhaar said there are a variety of options to apply for anyone interested in joining this committee, including an online applica-tion or a PDF printout on the district’s website. Every school office also has hard copies available in various languanges.

“All completed applica-tions will be considered,” Verhaar said. “We welcome, encourage, families, com-munity members, whose first language may not be English. We will make sure there are translators/inter-preters on staff at each of the meetings.”

The online application, and more information about the committee, can be found at fwps.org/blogs/

gradingcommittee. The application deadline closes at 5 p.m. on Jan. 27. Ap-plications will be reviewed by Neu and staff, and those chosen will be notified by Jan. 31.

Board president Danny Peterson asked if there would be a place at the table for board members on the committee, with Verhaar saying they would gladly welcome any board member to participate in the meetings. Verhaar also added that district adminis-trators are making sure that the student voices will be an important and valuable contribution to the com-mittee’s work.

“Student voices are very important to us and to this process,” she said, “and so (Vince) Blauser has worked with each high school principal to come up with a unified process for the high schools. They’ve already advertised it and will have interested kids come together so they can talk about it and fill out the application … We’ve asked that they look for students who really have a voice, who really want to be heard and have some great information to share.”

Board vice president Geoffery McAnalloy said he was happy to see a quick response from the district on this issue.

Follow the rules of the road

To the single occupant of a Volkswagen, with a license plate ending in “WTS”: please don’t speed in the carpool lane on Highway 99 in the fog without your headlights on while texting.

I generally see one of these things several times a day in Federal Way, along with several red light runners.

Running red lights, speeding in residential/arterials where red lights

are sure to stop you any-way, texting, and driving without your lights in the fog is dangerous to others. Let’s face it, it is lazy not to

follow the rules and laws of the road. Please be consider-ate. I don’t really care if you wreck,

but other drivers don’t need the hassle

of a wreck.Using the Volkswagen

driver as an example, once they sped by me, they were then stuck in slow traffic.

If you don’t consider oth-ers, think of the extra gas and brakes you are using to accomplish the same thing you could by follow-ing simple rules.

Following the rules of the road and our laws is easy and saves everyone time, money and hassle.Scott Webb, Federal Way

Police should do their jobs

Who do you go to when the police don’t do their

job? During the Thanksgiv-

ing holiday, my fiancé and I were brutally assaulted by a gang of seven people after a very minor traffic accident. We called the Federal Way police and expected the officer in charge to make an arrest and at the very least make a report of the assault so the prosecutor could investigate.

After we could not locate a police report, I then contacted the officer’s

supervisor, who told me that the officer in charge was on a SWAT mission and would be addressing the case when he returned.

Well it’s been almost two months now. No report, no charges, no nothing. Just swept under the rug. My fiancé and I are bi-racial, but I thought the law was supposed to work for everyone.

Maybe if more of these types of cases where known, the Federal Way police would do their job more often without bias.Tim Browning, Federal Way

The Legislature opened this week. Trans-portation needs will lead the way in debate, along with higher education, mental health and pensions.

Marijuana rules might be interesting. But other than adding more money to K-12 educa-tion under court order, don’t expect much to happen. This is an election year, and with the Republicans in control of the Senate, and the Democrats in control of the House and Governor’s Office, every one can kill each other’s bills.

There will be plenty of bills intro-duced, but they will be designed to either make legislators look good at home, or make the other legislators look bad at home. Most bills will only pass their house of origin and will be used to score points with each party’s political base. Legisla-tors, with few exceptions, are neither as good or as bad as you will hear.

Everyone wants to do a good job and most mean well. But both sides have strong convic-tions and significantly different points of view. There will be villains and there will be heroes. But they will be determined by your own view and who wins the message battle.

Both parties believe they have a good chance of controlling both Houses. That will be the battlefield. Who will control the two Houses?

The big winner this session may be Gov. Jay Inslee. There isn’t a budget crisis, his legislation requests and expectations are modest, he’s not up for re-election and he had a pretty good off

season. Think bridge replacement. Republicans seem likely to retain control

of the Senate and since they only need to gain another seat for complete control, look for them to demote current majority leader Rep. Rodney Tom (D) as soon as the election is over. In the sometimes cold world of politics, he will have served his purpose. Of course, the Democrats

want to defeat him at the ballot box and save the Republicans the trouble.

Closer to home, the speculation continues.

Rep. Roger Freeman is running and Republicans are being careful about challenging someone who is fighting cancer. However, Freeman has kept up a steady meeting pace and looks ready

for the race. Rep. Linda Kochmar is running as well. She has joined Freeman at many local meetings, including the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce, city government and schools.

The race everyone remains interested in is whether or not Sen. Tracey Eide will run. She has said yes previously, but many think that is to avoid lame duck status so she can still produce for her district during the session. Only time will tell, but the possibility of her not run-ning is what has apparently led Republicans to encourage former Mayor Skip Priest to consider running. Although they believe the numbers suggest Priest could defeat Eide, others say it would be hard for anyone to beat her with the current district demographics. There is also

Legislative outlook for 2014 session

How we can fix the city

INSI

DE P

OLIT

ICS

What can we fix? What needs fixing? As Americans, we have a culture of being builders. We build and fix things. Since

moving here from Texas, I have read multiple articles and letters on what needs work in Federal Way. We have a new mayor who ran a campaign

on the slogan “we can do bet-ter.” What will he fix?

I too have expressed a desire to see certain elements of Fed-eral Way improved. I know it is easy to have an opinion but it gets far more complicated when someone asks the simple ques-tion, “how?” That question adds details to the equation. Most

people believe where they live can be improved and they are good at stating what they believe needs work.

The question of “how” begins framing the chal-lenge. I know when I take my car in for repair, I describe the symptoms and the mechanic takes my ideas and diagnoses the problem. Generally, this means I get a call a few hours later telling me they have found problems and have solutions. This is when I learn if the repairs are new-car expensive or I am able to keep the current ride a little longer.

As car owners, we appreciate when our trans-portation works flawlessly and costs little to oper-ate. But at the same time, most of us are not skilled enough or have the tools to repair a car. We often need help and have to trust others to do work for us.

The best friends we have at the city of Federal Way and governmental entities in general are not our elected officials, but their staffs. The elected officials are there to assure accountability and describe symptoms of what needs fixing. Their staffs develop and articulate solutions. Officials also listen to the staffs’ point of view of what they believe the needs are. Feedback is provided and collaboration occurs on what is possible.

I know from having been a staff person at a city, the majority of decisions made by elected officials are mundane and keep the wheels of work and serving the public turning. Our elected officials become the face and voice of the community and their value to us is they suggest what needs fixing and ask the “how” questions, while directing staff to find and articulate solutions.

If our elected officials are big thinkers, skilled at asking “how” questions and choose to play nice in the sandbox, generally we are well served. The better the personnel, the better the solutions and the same for elected officials.

I have heard from some in the community that our elected officials need to tap into the wealth of local knowledge we have to improve our gov-ernmental operations and services. To me this is

an interesting misnomer. Our elected officials are our window into accountability and managing the challenge of fixing problems by working with staff at an executive level.

Expertise and public opinion are always welcome, but just because it is offered from the public or a local source is respected, it does not mean they are correct or the solu-tions offered will work.

It is never that simple. I know public dialogue and ad-vocacy are necessary for change. It is best expressed, as an idea, opinion, or a concern with the intent of benefiting the community.

As a person who has offered ideas and opinions, I appre-ciate they will be debated, rejected, revised and if accepted may take years to become reality.

The exchange of ideas, learning the depth of the challenge and using the best resources and consultants available to facilitate long-term benefits and steady im-provement for the community are what I expect from our leadership to keep this city functioning like new.

Federal Way resident Keith Livingston: [email protected]

some doubt that Priest will actually run. But if Eide were to drop out, Priest

wouldn’t have the field to himself. Some Democratic names mentioned include Roger Flygare, Anthony Murrietta and Councilmember Martin Moore.

Councilmember Kelly Maloney’s name has also come up from both par-ties, as she has never declared a party affiliation, so both would like to recruit her.

However, Maloney and Moore both say they just got elected to the Council and anything else is a long ways off. Flygare and Murrietta’s names are also being mentioned as possible candidates for appointment to Jim Ferrell’s vacant Council seat.

To take the speculation one step farther, what if Eide does retire and Free-man steps up and runs for the Senate? Then the dominoes would fall a little different. In that case, Councilmember

Bob Celski’s name comes up as a pos-sible candidate to run for Freeman’s seat. Celski is a Republican. Or what if former Republican state Rep. Katrina Asay wants to run again, as some would like.

However, like always, there could be another twist. A new name being circulated is Democrat Kristina Reeves, who is on U.S. Sen. Patty Murray’s staff and thought to be a possible candidate against Kochmar.

Eide’s potential departure would change the playing field and possibly Reeves’s direction.

The big domino is Eide. She is a very powerful senator, who has built up a lot of chips with her ability to bring home projects. What will she do?

More speculation to follow as the field takes shape.

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

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I see January is

School Board Recognition Month. I would like to rec-ognize Federal Way Public Schools for getting to see the world during 2013. That’s more of a statement than a question. Thanks.

A: Mr. Federal Way ap-preciates the statement, as well as your sarcasm. It isn’t lost on Mr. Federal Way.

By thanking the school board for “getting to see the world,” Mr. Federal Way knows that you are refer-ring to the district’s Global Learning Initiative, where the school board has racked up nearly $100,000 on trips to Europe, China and Africa, among others.

Superintendent Rob Neu and the five-member school board have defended the trips, saying they are mak-ing sure students are “inter-nationally minded, with the skill sets to ensure success in the new global economy, is absolutely essential.”

While they were taking trips around the world, there were a lot of people in Federal Way, including Mr. Federal Way, complaining that there weren’t enough textbooks in classrooms and district employees have not had cost-of-living pay raises in recent years due to the economy.

But, Mr. Federal Way is going to save that criticism for a later day. January does mark School Board Recognition Month across the state. It’s the 19th year of the annual observance, initiated by the National School Boards Association in 1995.

And, despite the trips all over the world, the mem-bers of the Federal Way school board do volunteer a lot of time and seem to have the best interests of the students in mind.

“There is no more impor-tant elected office when it comes to our children’s future,” said Washington State School Directors’ Association President Mari Taylor. “School board members put in long hours to guide public education in their communities. This recogni-tion is well deserved.”

They have to make the tough decisions on numer-ous complex educational and social issues. And it’s not like they are school board members in Medina or Redmond.

So, Mr. Federal Way says give the members of the

Federal Way school board a quick pat on the back for all their work. But, if you feel the need to start the criti-cism back up after that pat, that’s your right.

Q: We have spent a great deal of time waiting for the traffic lights to be responsive to the traffic flow from the intersection of Pacific Highway South onto Dash Point Road. Try driving from Pacific High-way onto Dash Point Road at about 4:30 to 6 p.m. and you have the perfect storm

for a night-mare of driv-ing. What can the tax-paying citizens do to get someone’s attention about this traffic mess? What do you think?

A: There are basically three traffic lights in a one-block area on Dash Point Road off of Pacific Highway. Those three traffic lights located so close together have obviously created a traffic nightmare, as you said. And Mr. Federal Way doesn’t think there is really anything substantial that can be done to alleviate the problem, outside of constructing a raised via-duct from Pacific Highway

to 320th with no traffic signals.

There’s just too many people who are not using Dash Point Road during the day. There are a lot of Federal Wayans who work north of the city, who are using Pacific Highway South in the mornings and evenings. People who live in Twin Lakes and northeast Tacoma use Dash Point Road as a shortcut, so they don’t have to get on Interstate 5 or deal with the congestion on 320th around the mall and all the restaurants.

That’s just the way it is. But, you asked Mr. Fed-

eral Way a question, and Mr. Federal Way will do the best Mr. Federal Way can to answer it. Obviously, Mr. Federal Way is not a traffic engineer and is just spit-balling here. But, it seems pretty excessive to have three separate traffic lights in, essentially, a one-block area.

It’s also not ideal that Sacajawea Middle School is located smack dab in the middle of the three traffic signals and the speed limit goes down to 20 mph in that stretch during the morning and afternoon.

What about using those flashing-yellow signals on Redondo Way and 11th like

are used at other inter-sections around Federal Way? This would keep the traffic on Dash Point Road flowing, but would cause backups on the side streets for people coming out of Marine Hills and up Re-dondo Way.

In short, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, I work out all the time, but every January my gym, all of a sudden, gets packed. Any advice on how to get through dealing with the people that make New Year’s resolutions to work out?

A: Just give it a couple weeks, the crowd will thin out at the gym, like it al-ways does around February.

Every year, millions of Americans make a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier and exercise more. And, in a shocking develop-ment, most of those people only keep that promise for a month, maybe two.

Some University of Washington psychologists even completed a recent study that concluded that “most people keep their main resolution for no more than two months, which explains why gyms are always busiest between January and March.”

Wow, impressive use of public money for that study. That would be like Mr. Federal Way coming up with a study that concluded it rains quite a bit and the sky is pretty gray during the winter months in Federal Way.

If Mr. Federal Way were any type of businessman, Mr. Federal Way would rent one of the numerous, va-cant storefronts in town for just January and February of each year, throw in a few treadmills, elliptical ma-chines and maybe a bench press or two and watch the money roll in.

Mr. Federal Way would call the gym something like “A New You” or “Keep That Resolution.” If anyone has some financial backing and they want to partner with Mr. Federal Way on this business venture, let Mr. Federal Way know.

As always, Mr. Federal Way’s email address is at the end of this column. We could be millionaires.

Q: Why do you feel the need to always be so sar-castic in your columns?

A: None of your business.

Q&A with Mr. FW: School travels and traffic lights

[ LIVINGSTON from page 4] [ ROEGNER from page 4] Put brakes on fast track trade authority

I fervently urge Adam Smith to vote “no” on fast track trade authority. It is imperative that the House reject this bill and maintain its constitutional authority over trade deals.

Negotiations on this treaty have been suspicious-ly secret; the U.S. public and the press are locked out. However, leaked texts have provided insight into what the negotiating parties have agreed upon. Among other troubling provisions, there are the special privileges and benefits for firms that take offshore investment and jobs away from the U.S.

The agricultural provi-sions of North American Free Trade Agreement, which removed Mexican tariffs on corn imports and eliminated programs supporting small farmers but did not discipline U.S. subsidies, led to widespread dislocation in the Mexican countryside. Karen Backman, Federal Way

Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:Story-telling thief: At 2:35 a.m. on Jan. 12 in the 30000 block of 13th Place S., the victim reported that the suspect knocked on their door and expressed concerns about an alleged burglary in the area. During the conversation, the suspect also told the victim that the vic-tim’s dogs had upended some garbage cans in the vicinity. The victim went to investigate the garbage can claim, at which time the suspect stole the victim’s purse from the victim’s residence. License plate stolen: At 10:13 a.m. on Jan. 12 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., the victim reported that unknown suspects stole the rear license plate from their vehicle. Counterfeit $100 bills: At 12:37 p.m. on Jan. 12 in the 1900 block of S. Commons, two suspects were arrested for attempting to pass off counterfeit $100 bills in two different locations. A search of the subjects resulted in further counterfeit bills being discovered. Fight: At 8:02 p.m. on Jan. 12 in the 2500 block of SW 334th St., police responded to calls regarding a fight between two men. Upon arrival, only one of the men involved was located. According to the report, that man was knocked unconscious and suffered visible injuries to his head/face. The report

notes the man was uncooperative with police and would not provide any information on his assailant. Fight leads to arrests: At 12:21 a.m. on Jan. 11 in the 2600 block of 288th St., police responded to reports of a fight. Upon arrival, police contacted several people still in the vicinity. One of the people police contacted gave a false name to police. The false name the person gave came back with warrants, so police placed the person under arrest. The person eventually admitted to giving the incorrect name, at which time police learned the person also had active warrants. The per-son was kept under arrest. Shoplifter caught: At 10:33 a.m. on Jan. 11 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway S., a man was arrested for attempting to shoplift $100 in shrimp from a grocery store. Man brandishes gun: At 2:48 p.m. on Jan. 11 in the 35000 block of Enchanted Parkway, a man was arrested for an unlawful display of a firearm. According to the report, the man’s girlfriend was involved in a minor pedestrian/driver incident in the parking lot of the store. The suspect brandished his firearm after the incident, in an attempt to intimidate the driver who was in the incident with his girlfriend. Recovered car offers up stolen mail: At 7 a.m. on Jan. 10 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., police discovered an unattended car in a parking lot. A check of the car’s plates revealed the vehicle was stolen. According to the report, an examination of the car revealed what was believed to be stolen mail in the car’s trunk. The report notes the mail belonged to 24 separate individuals.

More counterfeit bills: At 9:43 a.m. on Jan. 10 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway S., an employee reported that an unknown suspect had attempted to pass off two sepa-rate counterfeit $50 bills in an attempt to pay for their meal. The report notes the suspect had left the area by the time of police arrival. Forged check: At 1:04 p.m. on Jan. 10 in the 1400 block of S. 312th St., a man attempted to cash a forged check in a bank branch. Ac-cording to the report, the man left behind his valid ID card at the bank. Robbery with firearm: At 1:35 a.m. on Jan. 6 in the 2400 block of S. 315 Lane, a police officer was dispatched to a residence for a robbery. Three unknown subjects hit the victim in the head with a handgun. They also stole cash, office supplies, a cell phone and other items. Police said the victim’s injuries were not life threatening and the investiga-tion is ongoing. Assault with a knife: At 2:05 a.m. on Jan. 6 in the 31000 block of First Ave. S. A man called police to report that his girlfriend held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill him. The woman was contacted at their apartment, arrested without incident for first-degree assault and transported to the SCORE jail. The children inside the residence were unharmed. Domestic dispute: At 11:18 a.m. on Jan. 6 in the 2100 block of SW 336th St. Police were called to a domestic dispute between a male and female. Police located the male inside the bank and arrested him for a misdemeanor warrant from the King County Sheriff’s Office. The female told police that three subjects she had never met before chased her from a bus stop to the bank.

A Federal Way man was struck and killed by a car after he ran into traffic on an Everett highway for un-known reasons on Jan. 9.

Witnesses reported that the man, later identified as 30-year-old Dahai Guan, had left a nearby casino be-fore the accident, said Keith Leary, a Washington State Patrol trooper.

Leary said Guan ran into traffic at approximately 9:51 p.m. at 13010 State Route 99 at Manner Way in Everett.

A Lynnwood driver

traveling southbound struck Guan with his 1999 Chevro-let Metro when he stepped in front of the vehicle, according to the state patrol report.

Medics transported Guan to Harborview Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

The Lynnwood driver was uninjured.

The report continues that the cause of the accident was that Guan was not us-ing the crosswalk. Drugs or alcohol were not involved in the accident, the report notes.

Kent Reporter

A 25-year-old Kent man received a prison sentence of nine years after he crashed a car last May along Interstate 5 in Seattle that killed a Federal Way woman riding in the vehicle and injured three other pas-sengers.

Aneet Chandra was sentenced Jan. 10 in King County Superior Court to one count each of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and reckless endanger-ment, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Chandra pleaded guilty to the charges in October.

Chandra drove at speeds of more than 80 mph when he lost control of his car and crashed into a guardrail May 1 near the West Seattle exit while southbound on I-5 near downtown, accord-ing to charging papers. He was driving from the Uni-versity District to Federal Way with six passengers in his 1992 Cadillac Eldorado. He was reportedly speeding and weaving around traffic before the 11:50 p.m. single-

car wreck.Chandra pleaded guilty

to one count of vehicular homicide for the death of Asha Salim, 20, of Federal Way. Salim sat on the lap of a man in the back seat and was ejected from the car. She died at the scene.

As Chandra drove along the freeway, a front-seat passenger reportedly passed or showed a cellphone to Chandra that had a photo of a scantily clad woman. That distracted the driver and he lost control. The front-seat passenger suffered serious head trauma.

Chandra told State Patrol troopers he didn’t think he had that much to drink. Troopers noted they could smell a strong and obvious odor of intoxicants coming from Chandra’s breath. The group had been at a house party that included some drinking of alcohol. Wit-nesses saw Chandra take at least of couple of shots of vodka.

Two passengers were seated on the laps of other passengers in the back seat, according to charging papers.

People magazine is featuring a Federal Way woman on the cover of its Jan. 13 issue as the publica-tion celebrates the incred-ible weight-loss transforma-

tions of real people who went from heavy to healthy.

At her heaviest, 24-year-old Sharee Samuels of Federal Way weighed 256 pounds. Her turning point came in 2010 after study-ing abroad in Scotland, where she learned what eating healthy meant. Now, at a healthier weight, she teaches Zumba and follows a vegan diet.


Philip W. EichholtzLongtime Federal Way resident and businessman Philip (Phil) Eichholtz lost his battle with cancer on December 31, 2013, at the age of 92. Phil was born March 28, 1921, to Frederick W. and Olivia I. Eichholtz in Portland, Maine and raised in Western Pennsylvania.Phil graduated from Penn State University after serving in the Army Air Corps as an officer during World War II. His military journey led him to meet his wife and best friend, Margaret

(Peggy), also an officer in the Army Air Corps. They married in August 1947 and settled in the Pacific Northwest. Phil and Peg opened New Lumber and Hardware in Federal Way, WA in May 1954. New Lumber is now owned and operated by sons Jim and Bill. Phil was active in many service organizations including The Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club and The Elks Club. He was an avid golfer and traveler who also enjoyed playing bridge, reading, walking and dancing. These talents afforded Phil and Peggy the opportunity of sharing their love of dance as instructors and Assistant Cruise Directors aboard ship. In retirement, he and Peg spent many winters in Yuma, Arizona and loved entertaining at the family beach cabin at Key Center, WA in their summers. Phil will be remembered as a loyal husband and father, successful businessman, and civic leader. Phil often expressed how fortunate he felt to have been a part of the growth of Federal Way - from a “one stoplight wide spot” on Route 99 to the vibrant and diverse city it is today.Phil is survived by his four children, Jim (Angie) Eichholtz of Tacoma, Phil (Irene) Eichholtz of Los Angeles, Libby (Kirk) Williams of Walla Walla, and Bill (Ramona) Eichholtz of Federal Way as well as his eight grandchildren and three great-grand children. He was preceded in death by his wife and four sisters.

The family would ask that in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society or the Federal Way Historical Society. A Celebration of

Life will be held January 19th at 2:00 at Village Green Retirement Campus.

Popular retailer Target announced that the data breach it experienced late last year was larger than the company first expected as it discovered that more customer data was stolen than they first believed.

It’s now believed that those responsible for the data breach got away with 70-110 million customers’ data.

Target’s initial admis-sion was that hackers only got away with sensi-tive card information of customers who actually shopped in Target stores.

The new revelation on Friday had Target admit-

ting that information the retailer collected about customers over time, including mailing and email addresses, phone numbers and names, was also stolen.

“I know that it is frustrating for our guests to learn that this information was taken and we are truly sorry they are having to endure this,” said Gregg Steinhafel, Tar-get’s chairman, president and CEO. “I also want our guests to know that understanding and shar-ing the facts related to this incident is important to me and the entire Target team.”

The breach has had a significant impact on Target’s financial outlook, with the company noting that the announcement of the breach caused “mean-ingfully weaker-than-

expected sales.” Before the breach, the company had touted a positive outlook for the last quarter

of 2013. Locally, Federal Way

residents seemed mostly indifferent to the issue, with only one person responding to The Mir-ror’s Facebook page as of Jan. 10.

For Melodie Hard-wick, the issue is mostly a non-issue because the only interaction she has

with Target is through her Target card, she wrote.

“This isn’t the first com-pany I’ve done business with that had a major data breach. I do wonder what the nature of the breach was though, and hope to hear more about how it was pulled off. I only use my Target card there any-way, so I feel like the risk to me is pretty minimal. It will be easy to notice any unauthorized purchases,” she wrote.

Mirror reader Joan Hammond said she stopped shopping at Tar-get a while ago, although for different reasons, cit-ing the company’s cutting of ties with the Salvation Army. Aileen Calor wrote

simply, “I love Target.” For those who have

been affected by the breach, Target is offering a variety of services, includ-ing one free year of credit monitoring and identity theft protection to all cus-tomers who ever shopped in U.S. Target stores.

Those who believe they may have been affected are asked to call 1-866-852-8680 for more information or can visit www.target.com.

With these measures, Washington State Attor-ney General Bob Ferguson is already sounding the alarm that scammers are on the loose, trying to gain personal information from Target customers.

In a Jan. 10 press release, Ferguson’s office warned that “phish-ing emails have already appeared offering ‘free’ Target gift cards and Target-related credit card monitoring.”

These emails “typically mention ‘Target’ in an email that directs con-sumers to a website with ‘Target’ in its URL.”

Ferguson’s office is advising consumers to “not give out personal information to someone who wants to contact you before going directly to Target’s website to confirm the presented information is correct.”

The hometown Seattle Sounders FC have added another

Federal Way school district graduate to its roster. The Sounders announced last week that they have inked Todd Beamer High School grad Sean Okoli to a Home-grown Player contract.

Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms were not disclosed. Seattle has now signed three Home-grown Players in the past two seasons. The Sounders also signed Aaron Kovar on Jan. 8. Kovar played at Se-attle’s Garfield High School and Stanford University and was a teammate of Okoli’s on Sounders FC Academy teams throughout the years.

“It’s exciting to have two more Academy kids join our team,” said Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid. “Being able to add two young and talented players is a good thing. It’s also very

important that Academy kids can see a pathway onto the first team.”

After graduating from Beamer in 2011, Okoli spent three seasons playing at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. During his career with the Demon Deacons, Okoli scored 24 goals and had nine assists in 61 appearances. He earned First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in 2013, registering a team-high nine goals with three assists.

In 2012, Okoli led the team with a career high 11 goals, and was named Second Team All-ACC and earned NSCAA Player of the Week honors in Octo-ber. In his first collegiate season, he finished third on the team with 11 points (four goals and three as-sists) and was named to the All-ACC Freshman Team in 2011.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,”

said Okoli. “I can’t wait to play at CenturyLink in front of all of the fans. I am excited to help the team win games, score goals and re-ally get my career started.”

During his senior season at Beamer, Okoli, 20, scored 19 goals and dished out 14 assists. After playing for the Sounders FC Academy, he joined the Sounders U-23 team in 2012, where he played for two seasons. Okoli has also played for the United States at the youth levels.

Kovar and Okoli were the first Sounders FC Academy players to appear in a MLS Reserve League game for Sounders FC. Kovar played the final nine minutes and Okoli played the final 12 minutes in a 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers on May 30, 2011.

“It is a proud moment when players that have significant history in the Sounders programming sign with the first team,”

said Darren Sawatsky, a Jefferson grad and the Sounders U-23 Head Coach and Sounders FC Direc-tor of Youth Development. “After watching them both

play last summer with the Sounders U23’s and then this fall in college, it is exciting to see them take the next step.”

Everything seems to point toward all four Federal Way high schools playing in the same division of the South Puget Sound

League (SPSL) in the fall. The athletic directors at

the current SPSL schools have already voted in favor of realigning the two Class 4A divisions, with Federal Way, Beamer and Decatur

joining Thomas Jefferson in the SPSL North. The league’s principals will vote on the proposal at their next meeting, which has been delayed to next month, according to Vince

Blauser, the executive direc-tor of secondary schools in Federal Way.

“It’s just logistics,” he said. “It was just getting everyone together. I hope it’s just a formality. It’s now

in the principals’ hands. But we are definitely moving in that direction.”

The new 10-team Class 4A North Division is set to include the four Federal

Way schools, along with the four Kent high schools (Kentridge, Kentwood, Kentlake and Kent-Merid-ian), Mount Rainier and Tahoma. Both Auburn and Auburn Riverside, cur-rent members of the North Division, have opted to move down to Class 3A in the fall.

Federal Way officials an-nounced their intentions to have all four schools in the same division in October when Decatur declared it would “opt up” to the 4A classification prior to the 2014-15 school year.

Currently, Decatur competes in the SPSL’s 3A Division, while Jefferson plays in the 4A SPSL North Division. Federal Way and Beamer compete in the 4A SPSL South. Next year, the 4A SPSL North will include seven schools — Puyallup, Emerald Ridge, Rogers, Spanaway Lake, Bethel, Curtis and Graham-Ka-powsin.

The Washington Inter-scholastic Activities As-sociation (WIAA) finalized its classification figures Tuesday for the upcoming 2014-16 two-year enroll-ment cycle and Beamer (1,315 students) and Jef-ferson (1,281) both fell into the 4A class, which ranges from 1,252 to 2,099 stu-dents. Federal Way (1,139), along with Decatur (1,032), will also have to officially “opt up” to 4A during the next two years.

With each reclassifica-tion cycle, the WIAA strives for 17 percent (roughly 64 schools) in each of the state’s six clas-sifications (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B and 1B).

Having all four schools in the same division of the SPSL has been a long-standing battle between Federal Way and the rest of the league. Every other school district in the SPSL has always been grouped together in the same divi-sion.

The last time the Beamer, Federal Way, Thomas Jefferson and the Decatur athletic programs played in the same division was during the 2005-06 school year, when they competed in an old configuration of the SPSL North.

“We need to be the ones that are in the same divi-sion, like everybody else,” Blauser said. “The SPSL has been great through this whole process. The leaders have embraced it and people have been really supportive. Everything has really worked out.”

Voters might be surprised to know that the upcoming

Educational Programs and Operation (EP&O) levy helps support the district’s United States Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs that currently run at Todd Beamer and Federal Way high schools.

The EP&O funds help support the pay for the pro-gram’s instructors, among them Beamer’s Major Barry Jones and Federal Way High School’s (FWHS) Lt. Col. Randy Long. These two men, and their programs, probably provide a lot more than most people think, especially when they picture what a JROTC program is likely all about.

“Our program is divided up into three areas: aero-space/science, leadership and then physical fitness,” Jones said. “It’s really an all-encompassing program, and a good fit in (the district’s) Career and Technical Edu-cation program.”

“From a standpoint of what we bring in, and what the kids get out of it, it’s a flexible curriculum,” Long agreed. “The Air Force gives us a lot of latitude over the things we can bring in to augment our program, and some of the extra curricular things we feel are impor-tant to developing better citizens, to meeting that mission of making better citizens.”

For Jones and the Beamer JROTC students, the Cyberpatriot program is one of those programs that helps enrich their education outside of the classroom.

The Cyberpatriot com-petition is dubbed “the National High School Cyber Defense Competition,” and tests students on their knowledge of computers and cyber security. Students are given a virtual “image” of a computer system, and are tasked with finding anomalies and other securi-ty-related issues within that image.

Beamers’ JROTC teams have acquitted themselves honorably, advancing

through the early rounds a number of times. Jones said they felt like they were do-ing really well in one of the more recent year’s competi-tions, when their computer apparently crashed, forcing them to recover their information and try to replicate all the steps they had already taken. Unfortu-nately, they were unable to pull it off. Jones said they’re still uncertain whether that particular hiccup was part of the competition or not. Either way, Jones sees the Cyberpatriot competition as a boon for all involved.

“It’s a really cool team building exercise, a STEM exercise,” he said, STEM referring to the push for (S)cience, (T)ethnology, (E)engineering and (M)ath courses in public education in recent years.

Long’s JROTC program at FWHS has participated in Cyberpatriot as well, although he noted that for FWHS, one of the compe-tition teams they’re most proud of is their Academic Bowl team.

“One of our real spear-

heads we like is the Aca-demic Bowl. We’ve fielded a team each year, and have since we started the pro-gram,” Long said. “In 2012, we had a national level team that placed in the top 16 in the country. They went to Washington, D.C. for a week, and competed at the national level.”

Both instructors empha-sized that JROTC is not a recruiting program for the Air Force. Jones noted that, at the national level, which encompasses nearly 900 programs and more than 21,000 students, only about 5 percent enter the military. Instead, JROTC is really just another avenue for students to learn about careers, lead-ership, community service and any other topic that enriches the students and gives them usable skills.

“We’re very big on com-munity service,” Jones said of Beamer’s program. “The last few years, we’ve talked about 3,500 hours of com-munity service. Our goal this year is 3,200 hours, and we’re over halfway there.”

Long noted that one of

the most effective extra cur-ricular activities that he feels JROTC provides students is the chance to participate in leadership camps.

“We traditionally go to two or three a year that teaches kids about how to be a follower, how to be a leader. You can’t always get that in the classroom,” he said. “We can read about it, we can study it, but until you get out and practice it … go out to a camp and put kids in different situations, you don’t get that real life experience.”

The EP&O levy, which is asking for $53 million over four years, is up for a vote on Feb. 11. The levy sup-ports a significant portion of what the district views as “basic education” needs, including classroom materi-als and teacher salaries. The EP&O levy helps pay for approximately half of the JROTC instructors’ salaries. The district terms it a “re-placement” levy, because it is set to replace the expiring levy that voters approved in 2012. For information, visit www.fwps.org.

The Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) board of directors unanimously approved the schematic design for the new Federal Way High School (FWHS) during the board’s meeting on Tuesday.

Rod Leland, the former facilities director for the

district and who is now in a “consulting” role for the district, took some time during the meeting to ad-dress questions members of the board had raised at a recent board work study session. The questions dealt with the student population the new building is being designed to support, and also with general storage concerns throughout the

district. “In the beginning,

our charge was to house programming for 1,600 students, and that we’ve accomplished, and that we demonstrated last week in our work study,” Leland said. “That number is a choice. The building … has flexibility to increase in size and capacity, by about 13 percent. (That additional

capacity), it’s approaching 30,000 additional square feet.”

Leland said this addition-al capacity could poten-tially house a total of 2,100 students, “depending on choices the district makes in programming.”

As far as the storage issue is concerned, Leland noted that the former building that housed the district’s

central kitchen is still onsite at FWHS, and presents an opportunity to be taken ad-vantage of, if district leaders so choose.

“It’s convenient, it’s on campus,” he said. “That takes care of big storage, which I heard was part of the question.”

Leland also added that the current schematic design has a number of

rooms on each floor of the new school dedicated to computer technology/connectivity needs. He said the number currently planned for, six, probably isn’t needed, and that those rooms could be repurposed to storage uses if the district decides to.

“We’ve determined we only need three, one on

cal Society of Federal Way in November of 2012 as part of an oral history project. “If there’s any organization that needs merchandising, that’s it. So I looked around and I could see that he was absolutely correct.”

He learned the lumber business “real quick” and in 1954 he settled in Federal Way, purchasing the lumber store and renaming it New Lumber and Hardware, which still operates today.

“I remember taking inventory on a Sunday and I saw what kind of a mess I got into and I said, ‘Eich-holtz, what did you do? You made another big mistake,’” laughed Eichholtz, who died of cancer on Dec. 31, 2013 at the age of 92. “Anyway, it all worked out very well.”

Eichholtz was one of 10 notable locals that Historical Society members recently interviewed as part of an oral history project funded by the 4Culture organiza-tion.

“We wanted to catch early movers and shakers,” said Maureen Hathaway, project manager. “We missed two or three, who we were really interested in interviewing, because they passed away. But that was our idea, trying to get this information from people before they became ill … ”

“While they were still responsive and receptive and could still remember way back when,” added Diana Noble-Gulliford, who wrote a grant proposal for the project.

The first phase of the project included research-ing, interviewing, taping and transcribing.

The Historical Society is now looking for fund-ing for the second phase

of the project, which will include editing the video footage and distributing the final DVDs to libraries, schools and service groups. That could cost between $5,000-$10,000, says Noble-Gulliford.

In the meantime, the soci-ety’s board may consider to have the raw video footage available for the public in the future.

Project participants began the interview process in August 2012 and it took about 18 months to compile the oral histories.

“I think what amazed me about these people is that they happened to be at the right place at the right time,” said Noble-Gulliford. “Phil Eichholtz saw a need where this was going to be a growing community … and now they are in the third generation of Eichholtz be-ing at the same lumber store. I just think in the early days of Federal Way, it provided opportunities for individu-als and families to strike out on their own and become successful.”

During an interview with Roy Miller, who owned Miller’s Oil and Heating, she learned that he had a unique way of filling a need in Federal Way.

“He’d take a plane and fly over and take pictures of where the new develop-ments would be and the foundations because those are the places where he would go next to see if they wanted oil delivery,” Noble-Gulliford said.

Interviewees ranged from early business owners and arts enthusiasts, to news-makers, city officials and activists. They also gave glimpses of Federal Way before it became a city and after.

“We wanted to touch all

aspects of Federal Way and part of it was availability,” said Noble-Gulliford of their interviewee selections.

The society’s interview with Rick Johnson, also known as “the mayor of Redondo,” gave them insight into Redondo, where Federal Way started, said Noble-Gulliford.

“He’s a retired railroader but he lives in the house he grew up in his whole life,” she noted. “The inside of his house is like a museum on Redondo. It’s incredible. He has captured and he’s still looking for things to capture Redondo’s history, postcards or memorabilia.”

Hathaway said early log-ging at Redondo was the “whole start of this area.”

Johnson spoke about the early history of Redondo, such as the bootlegging that occurred.

“Everything was by boat because there were no roads,” Hathaway said.

During the process, she said she learned interesting snippets of Federal Way’s history, from former Mayor Mary Gates’s work with the city to develop the city’s Police Department and City Hall, to Celebration Park,

which had underground gas tanks used to fuel airplanes when it was formerly Ever-green Air Park.

The 10 interviews were done “on location,” and project participants tried to set the scene as accurately as they could to reflect the interviewees.

They interviewed Sharon Muncey, founder of Center-stage Theatre, at the Knutzen Theatre, where actors were performing “The Turn of the Screw.”

A community activist, Dave Kaplan was filmed in the very same seat in the Council chambers he has sat in for the past 20 years.

Other notable residents who were interviewed include Jim Chambers, who described his family’s history of logging in Federal Way; Marlene Beadle, owner of Marlene’s Market and Deli; and Jerry Robison, founder of the Federal Way News.

As for Eichholtz, he said during his interview he was proud to be a part of growth in Federal Way over the years, as many homes in the area were built using lumber and other material from his store.

He also said he was proud

of his sons Jim and Bill, who currently operate the business. It is because of his sons that New Lumber and Hardware has survived as they grew up in Federal Way and know many people who have become their custom-ers, he said.

Over the years, he has also watched as nearly a dozen lumber yards have shuttered as the “big box” stores have moved in to the area.

However, he said in a big-ger store “it takes you a long time to get around to what the hell you want to do and parking may be a block away

from the front door.”And at small businesses,

like New Lumber, you get face-to-face service.

“It may not be a good looking one, but it’s a face,” Eichholtz laughed.

A celebration of life for Phil Eichholtz will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19 at the Village Green Retire-ment Campus in Federal Way. To read his full obitu-ary, see page 9. For more information about the His-torical Society, visit www.federalwayhistory.org.

Sea-Tac Airport self-serve kiosksFRom STAFF REPoRTS

The Port of Seattle and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intro-duced 14 “Automated Pass-port Control” (APC) kiosks at Sea-Tac Airport on Thursday, with the agencies touting that the self-serve kiosks should “cut the entry process in half for eligible U.S. and Canadian citizens.” According to a press release from the Port, Sea-Tac is the fifth U.S. airport to install the kiosks.

“This is the latest in our cooperative effort with CBP to provide simple, easy-to-use and customer friendly solutions to make the traveling experiences as positive as possible,” said Charles Goedken, manager of international services for

the Port. “This is necessary to meet the demands of the rapidly increasing number of international flights we are seeing at Sea-Tac.”

According to the Port, APC doesn’t require pre-registration, is easy to use and maintains the highest levels of protection when it comes to users personal data and/or information. The Port believes the kiosks will allow international travelers to “experience shorter wait times, less con-gestion and faster process-ing upon arrival at Sea-Tac.”

The kiosks allow travelers to side step the need to fill out a declaration card and interact with a CBP officer. Instead, the kiosks allow travelers to “scan their U.S. or Canadian passport, answer the customs dec-laration questions, receive a receipt and proceed to (a) CBP officer to finalize processing.”

each floor to provide security and con-nectivity,” he said.

Board member Tony Moore asked Le-land if the design/architecture team, and their district counterpoints, were plan-ning to continue having meetings with the community as the process moves forward.

Leland replied that they were, but that they needed to get to the approval of the schematic designs before they began plan-ning concrete details for more community meetings.

“We haven’t generated mass crowds, but we get 35-50 people out each time, and that tells us things we need to know,” he said.

Board president Danny Peterson, before the vote on approving the designs, pressed Leland to commit to making sure “por-tables” wouldn’t become a permanent part of the scenery on campus, even after the building is completely rebuilt.

“For a long time, for me, (I get) a nails-on-the-chalkboard (feeling) see-ing portables brought into a brand new school,” Peterson said. “I want to know, in approving this, that I can be assured that in five years time, I’m not going to be seeing semis pulling up and rolling in portables.”

Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Sally McLean replied that she was willing to make that commitment, but reminded Peterson that FWHS will still see the portable units when construc-tion is underway.

“You have to remember we’re rolling 20 portables on that site in order to do the construction,” she said.

As the project moves forward, Leland said he’s happy to be part of this process.

“I feel so lucky to be part of the design process for this school. As a resident of Federal Way, I’m sure it will be a signifi-cant place for Federal Way.”

Public invited to High Point project meetingFrom staFF rePorts

The city of Federal Way is hosting an open house and neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed High Point develop-ment application that is currently under review with the Community and Economic Development department.

The purpose of the meeting is informa-tional and is not an official public hearing on the matter.

The event will take place on Tuesday, Jan.28 at the Mirror Lake Elementary School gymnasium at 625 S. 314th St. in Federal Way.

The open house will begin at 6:30 p.m.,

followed at 7 p.m. by presentations from city staff and the project applicant, Devco. The meeting will close with a question-and-answer session.

The High Point development application proposes 308 multi-family dwelling units and 18,440 square feet of ground floor commercial space at the former Federal Way School District transportation facility, also known as the bus yard, located at 1066 S. 320th St.

The proposal also includes surface park-ing, public streets, stormwater treatment/detention, recreational amenities and landscaping.

For more information about the project application, contact city of Federal Way associate planner Matt Herrera at (253) 835-2638 or [email protected].

PUBLIC NOTICE 2014 SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASES

In accordance with RCW 35.21.157, the City of Federal Way provides this notice of upcoming solid waste rate increases for Waste Management of Washington customers located in Federal Way. The City of Federal Way manages a contract with Waste Management of Washington that regulates solid waste and recycling collection services and pricing. This contract allows annual rate adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, as well as periodic adjustments based on King County’s disposal fees. Individual refuse collection fees generally consist of two components: ‘Disposal’ + ‘Service’ = Cur- rent Rate:‘Disposal’ is based on average container weights, factoring in disposal fees set by King County, which for 2014 remain at $120.17 per ton, plus ap- plicable taxes and surcharges. This applies only to the ‘Disposal’ component of rates, and covers transfer of solid waste delivered to King County facilities and disposal at the County’s Cedar Hills Landfil l . For more information, contact King County Solid Waste Division at 206.477.4466, or visit http://your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste/index.asp.The ‘Service’ rate component is Waste Manage- ment’s compensation, and adjusts by a CPI factor every March 1st. This annual CPI adjustment is set by Bureau of Labor Statistics data. This CPI factor increases the ‘Service’ components of residential and commercial rates by approximately 1.1%, effective March 1, 2014. A temporary 0.3% increase in the State Business & Occupation Tax has ex- pired and will no longer be factored into rates, which partly offsets this annual adjustment. For example, the monthly fee for a 32-gallon garbage can will increase at total of $0.08, from $16.90 to $16.98. Customers may reduce the impact of rate increases through waste reduction and recycling options. For example, Residential customers can:Increase recycling cart size (at no added cost) and recycle more, and/or Start or increase yard debris/food scrap recycling (a lower cost option than garbage), and then Reduce garbage container size to reduce combined fees. Upon request, City Public Works staff will assist customers with options that can offset these 2014 rate increases. Commercial customers are encouraged to request limited no-cost recycling service (up to two 96-gallon carts per individual business). Multi-family customer rates include complete recycling services at no added cost. Increasing recycling and downsizing garbage service should help to reduce costs. To make changes to service levels, contact Waste Management of Washington at (253) 833-3333, or (800) 592-9995.Over 200 individual rates are calculated through this annual process. A complete set of 2014 rates is available for inspection at the City of Federal Way, Dept. of Public Works, 33325 - 8th Avenue South, Federal Way, WA 98003. For more information, please call the Public Works Department at (253) 835-2770 or (253) 835-2771.Published in the Federal Way Mirror 1/17/2014 and 1/24/2014FWM 2094
