Federal Way receives application for seafood warehouse to occupy portion of former Weyerhaeuser property BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
T
he city of Federal Way has received a notice of master land use application to construct a 7.2-acre warehouse for Orca Bay Seafoods on the former Weyerhaeuser property. If approved, the 68-foottall, 314,424-square-foot building would include office and food processing space with parking for 310 cars and 35 truck-trailers. There will also be “associated site work including wetland filling” on the 19acre site. Currently, the acreage
is home to a forested area to the east of the former Weyerhaeuser building. The proposed site is located on two parcels with the addresses 33700 32nd Ave. S. and 3120 S. 344th St. in Federal Way. “I think that it’s hard to give up the trees, and I’m hoping [the applicant will] develop the property with minimal impact by preserving some trees that will shield the property,” Federal Way City Councilman Mark Koppang said, stressing that he was speaking for himself and not on behalf of the City Council. “To clear-cut and put in a parking lot and
a building would not be a good thing.” Koppang said it’s a matter of redeveloping the land with the least amount of impact, as he’s positive about the opportunity to bring new jobs to Federal Way. “Hopefully they’ll buy lots of food and commerce will be good,” he said. “It’s one of those things: Things are going to change, we just didn’t know how.” Mayor Jim Ferrell said the proposed development falls under current zoning uses, and any new construction on the property will follow the normal permit[ more ORCA, page 12 ]

‘BFF Club’ promotes inclusion, looks to expand Beamer grads,
others, make app for stroke survivors
BY EVAN ELLIOTT
eelliott@fedwaymirror.com
In September 2014, Gwen Gabert and some friends came to Juliana Martin and asked if they could take Martin’s self-contained special education class to the Homecoming dance. In just two years, that gesture has evolved into a 60-plus member “BFF Club,” a club designed to promote inclusion among the special education and general education students at Federal Way High School. Gabert and Martin aren’t satisfied, though, and they want to see their message of compassion and friendship spread like wildfire to other schools. “I think you want every child to grow up feeling liked, loved, having friends, being included,” Martin said. “The earlier you can start that, the easier it will be. Our goal would be, by the time you get to high school that it’s no big deal there’s a BFF Club because you’ve always been friends with someone that’s different than you.” Martin and Gabert each had lifechanging experiences, or circumstances, that separately led them to their vision and the creation of BFF Club. For Martin, meeting with Devin from the special education department as a senior at Kentridge High School was about getting Starbucks once a week — until it wasn’t. Martin and

The duo’s friendship paved the way to Martin’s calling in life working as a Functional Core Teacher — but Devin was the real teacher, teaching Martin about unconditional love. Gabert found the meaning of unconditional love through her brother Joe, who’s affected by a mitochondrial disease that delays his development and makes it so he’s unable to swallow, speak or move voluntarily. But the infectious smile on his face on a daily basis suggests he’s no different from anyone else, and Gabert looks to him
for sunshine in her life. The desire to take Martin’s class to homecoming came from Gabert wondering where Joe would fit into the fabric of high school life and a desire to make sure he was just as included as she was. “I realized when Joe gets to high school he’s not going to get to go to homecoming. It made me want to take [all] the special education students because they don’t get to go to homecoming,” Gabert said. “Joe doesn’t get to play soccer or do [ more BFF, page 25 ]

t was one of those days. Nicole Bostic was having a flare-up, which left her foggy-minded and struggling to walk. “Sometimes I forget where I leave my keys,” Bostic said, explaining a symptom of her spinal disorder, that occurred on July 30. “I forget where I leave my phone. I forget things. So that day in particular, I forgot to lock my vehicle.” In her vehicle was equipment she uses for her service dog, Goji, and other dogs she trains through her business Priceless Pets: Behavior Modification and Canine Training. The next day, Bostic discovered that everything except a Chuckit dog toy had been stolen from her car, which was parked inside a carport at her Federal Way apartment complex. The dog training equipment is estimated to be worth about $800. “It’s like somebody taking your security blanket,” Bostic said through tears.

After finding her equipment stolen, Bostic gave Goji the command to track, but something strange happened. “He knew,” she said. “The smells were familiar.” Although Bostic’s vehicle was unlocked, her equipment for training dogs was locked in the trunk and there weren’t any “bait” items inside that would entice a thief. “I never leave anything visible inside the car [ more THEFT, page 12 ]
The Violence Prevention Coalition steering committee, made up of 13 members, met for the first time on Tuesday to discuss their goals going forward. The coalition was formed in response to the three murders in 48 hours that occurred in Federal Way this past May. The members, which range from community representatives to service providers, are tasked with providing recommendations on curbing violence in the city to Mayor Jim Ferrell by Nov. 1. The group chose Doug Baxter, the violence prevention coordinator for CHI Franciscan, as its chair, and it selected Lawrence Garrett, the executive director for Advancing Leadership and AL Youth, as its vice chair. After taking care of introductions and formalities, the committee agreed that, in order to get started,
they wanted feedback from the June 2 Violence Prevention Coalition meeting and they needed access to crime statistics. Some during the meeting expressed that narrowing the scope of the committee’s work should be first priority, with many unsure whether there should be a focus on youth violence or overall gun violence in Federal Way. The meetings, which are open to the public, will be held from 3-4:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, with the exception of the
next meeting which will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. on Aug. 16. All of the meetings will take place in the Hylebos Conference Room at City Hall. In addition to their regular meetings, the steering committee will engage with the community in other meetings or events, which are to be scheduled at a later date.

Federal Way residents celebrate inaugural Friendship Day About 60 friendly folks braved a heavy afternoon downpour on Sunday to attend Federal Way’s first unofficial Friendship Day celebration at Town Square Park. Residents Nick Wilson and SkyMan (Skyler Nichols) spent more than a month working to have the Federal Way City Council recognize the holiday, and the Council proclaimed the second Sunday in August Friendship Day in the city on July 19. Wilson and SkyMan, aided by Federal Way residents Susan Honda and Sharry Edwards, conceived and executed the low-key celebration in about two weeks, pulling in donations to mark the occasion with ice cream, yellow roses, friendshipthemed greeting cards and bubble-making tools. Organizers are already planning for a followup event next year, and some envision Friendship Day becoming a lighthearted observance that’s unique to Federal Way. Photos courtesy of Bruce Honda

City holds PAEC beam signing
step up to a part-time job at Amazon in Kent
Several city of Federal Way officials gathered together on Aug. 4 for the Performing Arts and Event Center’s beam signing. The “topping out” or “topping off” ceremony celebrated construction of the highest point of the building, and as is tradition, a tree and a flag were placed on the beam that would complete that point. The tree comes from Scandinavian tradition dating back to 700 A.D., according to Theresa Yvonne, the Performing Arts and Event Center executive director, when builders would place a fir tree atop the wooden beam to “appease the tree spirits.” The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, founded in 1896, started the tradition of using a flag instead.

Federal Way’s Kuhnly finds joy in being first BY EVAN ELLIOTT eelliott@fedwaymirror.com
F
ederal Way resident Gail Kuhnly is a woman who’s driven by the “firsts” in life — it only makes sense she spends a lot of time running track. As a competitor in the National Senior Games, Kuhnly is the owner of several national records in the 50-55 year-old age division. In her first meet in the Senior Games, she broke a 15-year-old meet record as she dominated the 50-meter, 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter dashes. “I was the fastest woman on the track that day,” Kuhnly said. “The meet director came over to me and [jokingly] said, ‘You know, we’re going to have to drug test you.’” Her drive has earned Kuhnly the honor of being a Humana Game Changer for her success on the track and for her efforts in serving as a role model for healthy living. The award is given annually by Humana, a sponsor for the National Senior Games, and Kuhnly felt honored to be held in such high esteem by her peers. “Being distinguished as an athlete that’s worthy of recognition is exciting,” Kuhnly said. Her excitement is matched by an exciting
life worthy of Humana’s recognition. Born in Michigan, Kuhnly moved to California at the age of 5 and ended up going to four different high schools. She primarily focused on basketball in those years and earned a scholarship to play at Pepperdine University. Her athleticism didn’t go unnoticed by track coaches, who told her she didn’t have to practice but they wanted her to compete in meets. She dominated those as she does now, and was named most valuable track athlete. After a year playing basketball at Pepperdine, Kuhnly went to Biola University and played for Athletes in Action, a Christianity-focused traveling basketball team. She then moved on to the University of California-Davis, where she played one year before deciding to hang up her sneakers. She stopped because she felt herself becoming more focused on her schoolwork — Kuhnly managed to find a way to be first in academics, too. “My claim to fame was I was the first African-American woman to get a degree in the genetics department at UC Davis. That was a big deal to me,” Kuhnly said. Kuhnly wasn’t done with school, earning her doctorate from Stanford University after six more years in the
classroom. With degrees in hand, Kuhnly went to work as a laboratory scientist and worked at gene splicing, genetic manipulation and being the first to make many new discoveries. The work was just as fulfilling for Kuhnly as life on the basketball court was. “I love being the first — I love having my name on patents, being the first to discover something… being a part of drugs that made it to the market, that made people [feel] better as opposed to sick; that was amazing,” Kuhnly said. Genetics could only keep her so long, with her next chapter of life involving home-schooling her three children after moving to Federal Way with her husband and their church. Kuhnly said all three of her daughters keep her motivated because they’re all so different, and she enjoys knowing exactly what is being taught to them. It was with her eldest daughter, who received a full-ride academic scholarship to the University of Washington, where she found another passion — the track. Nothing in life is unreachable to Kuhnly, and seeing her eyes light up with passion talking about the littlest details of track — for example, how
Gail Kuhnly is a Humana Game Changer for her success on the track and serving as a role model in the community. Photo courtesy Stephen Brahear jumping rope leads to better technique and faster times — dares you not to believe her. “I love the running and the technique because there’s still more mastery to come,” Kuhnly said. “There’s records that aren’t broken; there’s times I haven’t run that I can run [and] that I want to run.” Kuhnly is “an inspired performer,” as her grandmother would say, and that has trickled into her coaching life. Kuhnly has coached at Pacific Lutheran University, Green River Community College and Federal Way High School, the latter of which saw her win a state championship. She admits she prefers running and is excited to
break new records in the 55-60 year-old division, but Kuhnly still loves coaching — it’s basically a mixture of the work she does teaching her daughters and her love for track. Her love has taken her toward becoming a level three-certified coach, the highest level possible attained in track. It’s a level of coaching that allows recipients to coach anyone in any location around the world. When she’s done, it will (of course) come with another first. “I realized that there are no female sprints, hurdles and relay coaches [with level-three status] in the state of Washington, period. I will be the first.”
Penguins strike back with record performances BY JEROD YOUNG jyoung@fedwaymirror.com
The Twin Lakes Penguins swim team chose the right theme this year: In honor of “Star Wars,” the Penguins went with the mantra “The Empire Strikes Back.” It couldn’t have been more appropriate. After a tough 0-7 regular season, the Penguins struck back at the all-city meet last Wednesday with two first-place finishes and two record-breaking performances. By the conclusion of the meet, Twin Lakes finished seventh out of the 16 participating teams, including four teams it had struggled against during its regular season. “This is quite an accomplishment for a team of newer summer swimmers,” Penguins co-manager Melanie Muscutt said. “My comanager Charis Tucker and myself were so incredibly proud of our team and the
outstanding sportsmanship they showed throughout the entire season.” While the numbers show it was a down season for the Penguins in terms of wins and losses, the swim program itself at Twin Lakes is flourishing. Over the last two years, the Penguins have grown to 154 swimmers, a 22 percent increase since 2014. The reason for the struggles this year, Muscutt said, was due to some age group gaps that prevented Twin Lakes from producing its maximum amount of points. “We still had some gaps in age groups that hurt us when it came to scoring,” Muscutt said. “The good news is that our program is on fire, and we continue to add more swimmers each year, so hopefully we’ll be able to round out some of these gaps.” Its regular season record may not reflect it, but Mus-
cutt said the team came into the all-city meet meet with confidence. Though they were missing participants in certain age ranges, Muscutt said the Penguins believed in themselves in the team’s individual and relay events, and Twin Lakes didn’t disappoint. Ashlea Liljar led off those individual events, and she broke the girls 13/14-yearold 50-meter butterfly record. “We knew we had some really great relay performers,” Muscutt said. “We also knew we had individual events that we could score in at all-city, and our swimmers performed.” Kaycee Simpson followed Liljar and broke the girls 15-and-over 100 Individual Medley record. Simpson followed that performance by taking first place in the 50 butterfly. [ more PENGUIN, page 12 ]

y introduction to Federal Way came in the form of the reception I got when I was offered this incredible position. And it wasn’t a good one. “Wait, you’re going to work and cover sports in ‘Felony Way?’” a mentor and friend from a much larger Seattle paper asked upon receiving my excited text message. “You know they just had like three shootings in 48 hours not long ago, right?” Wait – what? That can’t be right, can it? It was, much to my surprise. As someone who recently transplanted their way to the state – yes, I’m one of those – on a whim from a small, safe, upper-middle class bedroom community in Arizona, where the most egregious crime was shops and restaurants that lined Gilbert Road not opening until 10 a.m., it appeared as though I was entering into yet another complete unknown. As it turns out, though, new and unknown is exactly what I need at this point in my life. In terms of sports writing, I’ve had the privilege of covering MLB, NFL, NHL, MLS and NCAA sports in Arizona, all before the age of 30, which my sports-writing mentor said was something I shouldn’t plan on happening because the industry makes that near-impossible today. Prior to making the move to the Evergreen State, I hit a “career crossroads” of sorts. I left the paper I was at because I’d accomplished everything I could and was no longer challenged, and I did the popular reporter thing to do and transitioned into copywriting for a public relations company. It was miserable. I was miserable. And as a result, so was my writing. I missed working in a newsroom. I had never [ more YOUNG page 9 ]

320th problems far bigger Unfortunately, the writer of the recently published letter complaining about traffic congestion exiting southbound I-5 onto South 320th Street is too focused on their own particular experience. The congestion problem in that area is far bigger and also includes vehicles coming up from Peasley Canyon and exiting from northbound I-5. I usually avoid this area like the proverbial plague, but several weeks ago I gave it a try. Silly me thought
Democratic sweep looks possible The storyline for the primary election sounded familiar: When King County voters turn out, those voters will decide elections in this state. Statewide, the turnout was 33 percent, with 30 percent in Pierce County, 29 percent in Snohomish and 34 percent in King, with the latter’s bigger base underscoring the higher percentage. Republicans will win almost every other county in Washington, but unless they find a way to cut the margin in King County, Democrats could sweep all but one statewide elected office race this year. Two cases highlight the Republicans’ problem: In the race for governor, Republican Bill Bryant won every county in eastern Washington and was down by only 1 percent in Pierce County and by 6 percent in Snohomish County. But Democratic incumbent Gov. Jay Inslee was approaching 64 percent to Bryant’s
27 percent in King County, giving Inslee an 11 percent lead overall. The other illustrative race is for Secretary of State, where popular Republican incumbent Kim Wyman is leading her Democratic challenger, former Seattle City Council member Tina Podlodowski, by two points statewide: 48 to 46 percent. Wyman won Snohomish County by 6 percent and won Pierce County by 12 percent, but she lost King County by a 60 to 38 percent margin. A Seattle address has an impact. In most contests, the combined Democratic vote was above 50 percent, further adding to the Republicans’ November dilemma. In the race for State Auditor, Federal Way Republican state Sen. Mark Miloscia is leading with 37 percent, followed by Democratic Piece County

Fortunately I was paying attention, because traffic exiting from northbound I-5 was backed up on the shoulder halfway back to the Weyerhaeuser headquarters. It took over 45 minutes just to get onto South 320th Street. The problem was that only two or three cars were making the left turn on each cycle of the light. When I did finally get onto 320th I expected to see an accident or a traffic signal out of order, but instead it was simply too many vehicles in the same place at the same time. No tweaking of traffic lights can fix the problem when the road is simply over capacity. It’s hard to imagine how much worse this will get when the new bus barn apartments reach
full occupancy. Several years ago the city staff, to their credit, saw this issue coming and developed plans to better distribute traffic over multiple arterials and presented the options to the community. Sadly, our city leaders at the time caved to pressure from a single neighborhood, leaving the rest of us with the mess we have today. Perhaps it’s time to resurrect those plans? Maybe our current city leadership could hitch up their drawers and make it happen? It would take years to complete, but what other solution is there to an overcapacity road? Oops, I forgot: That will never happen. It’s an election year.

Good intention, bad advice in column The Aug. 5 Mirror contains a column titled “Why I Do What I Do” by Liz Word, which attempts to address the problem of under-performance by blacks and Hispanics in post-secondary education, but it does so in a peculiar way. Word starts by highlighting her own broken family background and eventual adoption by a loving, supportive, white, uppermiddle-class college-educated couple who provide her with a nurturing, safe and healthy home environment. From there the author gets right down to the crux of her article: the reason why she successfully
completed a college education was that her adoptive parents provided her with the gift of “white middleclass privilege” and all the “social capital” attached to that privilege. In other words, professor Word was given (inherited) special socioeconomic rights and advantages not generally afforded to non-white people. No mention was made of her hard work, grit and determination to succeed, or how exactly her adoptive white parents happened to achieve their own educational success — presumably, her parents were also given their privilege, handed down from generation to generation like an inheritance or a birthright. Only after reminding us five or six more times of her “privilege” does Word provide us with her remedy for educational underachievement (and I [ more LETTERS page 30 ]

Q&A with Mr. FW: Back to school and PAEC beam signing Q
: Mr. Federal Way, do you have kids? If so, are they about ready to go back to school? A: Mr. Federal Way has, indeed, passed his superior genes to the future leaders of the next generation, so be on the lookout for some brilliant, charismatic, insightful and inspiring candidates for president in the next couple decades. You’ll know who I’m talking about, since by then the feeling of having a presidential candidate you proudly vote for will feel like a novel experience you’d forgotten you could have. Anyway, Mr. Federal Way is sending the kids back to
school the way any self-respecting parent would: with a lush and elaborate fete featuring a Hannibal-esque number of elephants, seven vestal virgins riding seven white tigers and holding aloft the chosen children’s school supplies on golden plates, and an appearance by the reformed ’80s rock superstars the Scorpions. It’ll be a treat. It’ll rock you like a hurricane. Actually, Mr. Federal Way will toss the stuff from the please-bring-us-classroomsupplies-we-can’t-affordthem list into a backpack, toss together a sack lunch that looks healthy but probably isn’t, and wish his

experienced something so inspiring and exhilarating, and I wasn’t the same without it. I did the only thing that felt right: I reached out to my “slow your roll” mentor. But I knew with his commitments to ESPN and his paper, it would likely prompt no response. “Any chance you’ll be in AZ?” I asked. To my surprise, he was headed down the following week to write his once-aseason NBA column. We met at a local hotel coffee shop and I explained my dilemma. After pausing for a couple autographs and a moment to think, the master of language replied, “Get over it.” Huh? That’s it? I turn to my writing hero for critical advice about my future and that’s all I get? Thankfully, he expounded on his short reply. “It’s something we all go through at some point,” he said. “I was 25 when your same quandary hit me. I wasn’t covering sports, I was covering courts and crime at that point. I remember calling my dad when I was at the edge and we had the same conversation you and I are having now.” What he went on to tell me is something I carry on a piece of paper in my wallet. I look at it each day before walking in the Mirror door: “If you love sports, buy tickets. But if you love writing, if you love language, if you love words – be a writer.” It’s my love for all things writing that has me back in reporting, where I belong, and has me inspired to do it right here in this young, vibrant city. I don’t write because it’s my mission to win awards. I do it because writing is what I love to do. It’s my job to bring the citizens of Federal Way the news as it happens, written in a style that hopefully has residents wanting to read this paper. I hold my writing standards extremely high and I expect our readers to do the same. I don’t see Federal Way as “Felony Way.” I see it as a great community with so many stories to tell, and I look forward to finding them. So please – feel free to send me story ideas and introduce yourselves. Get to know me so you can have the confidence in knowing that, if something’s out there, I got you.

spawn a good day. Going back to school can be an ordeal and it can send your little ones for a spin, but it’s something they have to do and in the history of kids not wanting to go back to school – all of it – said kids almost always get over their anxieties and promptly fall into the swing of things. School’s a routine, and kids are all about that. Maybe Mr. Federal Way’s advice is only applicable to him, since the perfect and awesome DNA continuers he calls his kids
are so easy to raise compared to the dark-spawned hellions you squeezed out, but parents everywhere can probably just take a deep breath and safely assume the first day of school will be fine. Federal Way Public Schools has some pretty great teachers and campus staff around, and they’ll make sure your own genetic line gets to carry on throughout the school year. For better or worse. Q: Mr. Federal Way, did
[ ROEGNER from page 8 ] Executive Pat McCarthy at 30 percent and Seattle attorney Jeff Sprung at 24 percent. But the combined King County Democratic vote, 54 percent, actually makes McCarthy the front-runner going in to the fall. Republican Steve McLaughlin will be in the final for Commissioner of Public Lands after he garnered 38 percent of the statewide vote. But Democrat Hillary Franz will be the front-runner: she beat McLaughlin 35 to 22 percent in King County, and more importantly the total Democratic vote was over 53 percent. Franz will get all of that while McLaughlin won’t really have much room to expand his vote total. The lone exception to a possible Democratic sweep is in the State Treasurer race. Even though Democrats out-polled Republicans at 51 percent, they split the result three ways. In a huge surprise, Republicans split their votes only two ways, and both of the Republican candidates will advance to the general election. There is a chance for Republicans to avoid drowning in a big blue wave, but that hinges on several factors. They have to hope Donald Trump’s sinking numbers don’t keep Republicans from voting. Additionally, while they’ll continue to win all of eastern Washington, they’ll need to have a stronger showing in Snohomish and Pierce counties while reducing the Democratic margin of victory in King County by several points. Otherwise, the only statewide office they may hold in
you attend the Performing Arts and Event Center’s beam-signing ceremony? A: Mr. Federal Way appreciates your shot at a joke, but he’d like to remind you that there’s only room in our fair city for one unfunny jester. And, sadly, Mark Greene is busy figuring out what statewide office he wants to run for next. No, you third-rate Bill Hicks, Mr. Federal Way was not invited. That slight, however, puts him in some pretty exclusive company, as a whole bunch of people weren’t invited. Take a look at the photo of the luminaries who attended – they weren’t the only people who
January is Treasurer, which would be a hard race to lose with two Republicans as the only candidates. This storyline has a big impact here in Federal Way. Our two Republican incumbent state representatives, Linda Kochmar and Teri Hickel, are both locked in very close races that could go either way. Hickel and her opponent, Democrat Kristine Reeves, were running even with each other; Kochmar was trailing her Democratic opponent, Mike Pellicciotti, by a 48 to 52 percent margin. Reeves and Pellicciotti needed to work hard and have a good showing, as neither candidate is well-known to the average voter. Had their totals been in the low 40 percent range, donations would have dried up. But doorbelling, newspaper ads and some well-timed mailers from the challengers regarding the incumbents’ voting records made a difference. Kochmar and Hickel had less pressure on them as incumbents, and both know their financial supporters will be there in the fall. Still, the two tight races have put Republicans on notice that they’ll need to defend two more seats than they planned if they want to gain control of the Washington House of Representatives. In other races, Democrats again split their votes and will send state Sen. Cyrus Habib to the November finals in the Lieutenant Governor race. Habib will be joined by Republican Marty McClendon. But if either of the other Democratic state senators, Steve Hobbs or Karen Fraser, had not run, there would have been two Democrats
could be there, they were, for the most part, the only people who had any idea the ceremony was taking place. If Mr. Federal Way was one of the throngs of folks who’d worked his tail off and still takes crap for making that thing happen then he might be a little miffed. Q: Mr. Federal Way, are you watching the Olympics? A: None of your business.

in the general election, not one. In addition to losing King County by 25 percent, McClendon lost his home county, Pierce, by 3 percent. The most interesting race may be for the non-partisan Superintendent of Public Instruction. Chris Reykdal won Pierce County by 4 percent and Snohomish County by 8 percent, but he lost by 20 percent to Erin Jones in King County. Reykdal is a Democratic state legislator but is not as well-known in King County as Jones, who previously worked in Federal Way and has the support of several well-known local educators. Jones got many votes that could have gone to Reykdal, so watch the debates on charter schools and school funding to see where Republicans and independents line up to vote. Those two issues lead to a subplot in the State Supreme Court races, where the Republican strategy was to try and defeat some of the incumbent justices to force a different outcome in a Legislature split on school funding. That didn’t work in the primary, and Chief Justice Barbara Madsen won big. Now that everyone knows their score, and now that those behind know how much ground they have to make up, the gloves will come off. It will not be pretty, particularly in several of the legislative races.

Apple’s App store for apps that would help, but the few out there were either $50 or were too complicated. “So my dad and I, we decided… maybe we’ll just make an app for him to use that’s easier – that can help him,” Maddie Rogers said. “We found a few other people my age in computer science and we decided to make the app.” Maddie Rogers, a 2015 Todd Beamer High School graduate, teamed up with students who are children of her father’s coworkers and have similar interests in computer science. The initial team consisted of Maddie Rogers; Gary Yost III, a 2015 Stadium High School graduate; Maddy Fletcher, a 2014 graduate of Aviation High School; and Nathan Wacker, who will be a Mercer Island High School senior in September. They then added Kevin Lee, a 2016 Todd Beamer graduate, because Yost and Maddie Rogers worked with him during their time at Northwest Nuclear Consortium and “knew his work ethic was stellar.” “I was pretty excited because I’m doing computer science in college next year, and I thought it would be a good experience before I go off to college,” said Lee, who will attend the University of Washington in the fall. The Northwest Nuclear Consortium is an “independent educational laboratory in Federal Way” with a mission to “educate high school students and the community about about nuclear technologies in energy and medicine,” according to their website (lobby.nwnc.us.com). In January, Maddie Rogers’ dad created lessons and tutorials for the kids to work on to learn programming while the majority were away at college. They also started a business called Sharp Synaptics, LLC. When they came home from college for summer break, they got to work.
HOSPITAL STAY: STROKE
Maddie Rogers and Yost worked on the first app, which they called “Hospital Stay: Stroke.” “The first one was a lot harder than the second one,” Maddie Rogers said. “The first app, the main idea is it’s used when the person is in the hospital and they just need to communicate their basic needs.” “Hospital Stay: Stroke” greets a user with a screen showing six images that can communicate “yes,” “no,” that they’re in pain, that they need help rolling over in bed, that they need to use the restroom or that they need hygiene help. The app uses large icons that, once pressed, has the app speak a command and highlight the needed icon for three seconds. Usage of the app is fairly straightforward, although stroke survivors may need an explanation by their caregiver to get started. “Hospital Stay: Stroke” is available for 99 cents and is compatible with iPhones and iPads. Maddie Rogers said she showed her grandfather their first app and was surprised when he picked German as the language to practice on. “We have a few languages that you can select on it, and he was speaking in the German words,” she said. “I thought that was really funny, and he was smiling the whole time and [was] able to say the words and stuff when he was clicking on them.” Her grandfather also tested out the Japanese version of the app, Dee Rogers added, laughing. “It’s a super shock at first, and then you just kind of deal with it,” she said.” And you’re thankful they’re still there and, you know, their mind’s still there – they just can’t talk.” Dee Rogers, fighting back tears, said she can see how proud her father is of her daughter, and it makes her proud to see “what a great kid she’s grown into.” When the first app was being created, Lee joined the team and got to work on creating their company’s website,

After Apple accepted it in late June, the team got to work on creating two other apps.
APHASIA THERAPY
In a “girls against boys” manner, Maddie Rogers and Fletcher began work on a second app designed to re-learn names of places, pictures, objects – anything, really – because it personalizes practice. “You can take a picture of any object,” Maddie Rogers said. “Like, you can take a picture of my mom and type in a name and have whoever’s taking care of the patient record audio of them saying ‘mom.’ And then you’ll have a long list of different images you can take pictures of and you can practice all of those.” If the user gets the answer correct, they can move on to the next image. If they get it wrong, they can practice again. There are also hints that explain the first letter of the person, place or thing in the object. “Aphasia Therapy” is $4.99 in the App Store and is much less expensive than similar products. It was released Aug. 6.
SPEAK FOR ME
Yost, Wacker and Lee are still working on “Speak For Me,” an app that takes the ideas from the first and second app and expands their use for communication. Speak For Me allows users to take their own photos and link their own recordings to those photos so that when a stroke survivor presses the photo, the audio will begin. The user can then communicate with others in a more detailed way than what the first app presented. “Once you get home from the hospital you’re going to need to say, ‘Hey, I want a sandwich,’ or ‘I want this,’ or ‘I have to go to the doctor,’” Dee Rogers said. “It’s more detailed.” Wacker said he contributed to the design of the app, has done some translations for different languages, and has helped write code. “This is purely for getting through your day,” Wacker said, noting a use for the app would be to have a picture of a restaurant with audio indicating the user wants to go to that restaurant. Wacker said he taught himself how to code but plans to take an AP computer science class in the next school year. Lee said he and his teammates are planning to finish “Speak For Me” on Friday and hope to submit it to the App Store next week. It, too, will be $4.99. “I personally don’t have any family members [that have had a stroke], but I imagine how hard it is to communicate,” Lee said. “This app will really benefit those victims of stroke.” While Lee isn’t sure if he wants to continue to put his coding skills toward the medical field as a career, he said he wants his work to help people. “I want to go to Silicon Valley and work in a start-up or a big technology company like Google or Intel,” he said. As for the future of Sharp Synaptics, LLC? “We hope to keep enhancing these to make them more usable, and I could see these apps being useful to not only stroke patients, but maybe little kids that want to practice saying stuff or people that have speaking disabilities,” Maddie Rogers said, adding that feedback and app reviews are welcomed.

Federal Way Symphony opens summer concerts Aug. 20 FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Federal Way Symphony will kick off its summer chamber music series on Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Knutzen Family Theatre. Two chamber music works will be performed: Borodin’s String Quartet no. 2 and Schuman’s Piano Quintet in E-flat. Both are major works in this repertoire and represent two distinct musical periods and sensibilities from the 19th century. Borodin’s work was composed in 1881 and belongs to a movement in St. Petersburg dedicated to uniquely Russian Romantic music. The work was composed by Borodin for his wife on their anniversary, and themes from the piece Maestro A. Brian Davenport were adapted and used conducts the Federal Way in the Broadway musical Symphony. Photo courtesy of the Federal “Kismet.” Way Symphony Schuman, meanwhile, is considered one of the greatest composers from the Romantic era and lived in Germany in the first half of the 19th century. The Piano Quintet in E-flat was composed in 1842 and is widely considered to be one of Schuman’s best works, as well as one of the most well-known works in the chamber music repertoire. This is the second of the symphony’s summer chamber music series and will feature Marjorie Kransberg-Talvi, a nationally recognized violinist and current Concertmaster of the Federal Way Symphony, and her husband, Ilka Talvi, an internationally known violinist an émigré from Finland. Tickets are $35. For more information, visit www.federalwaysymphony.org or contact Kari Wade at 253-2522693 or kari@federalwaysymphony.org.

But because of the nature of the case, they reached out and they did,” Bostic said. “So I’m very thankful for them for doing that.” Federal Way Police Department spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said apartment complexes in Federal Way are the No. 1 threat for theft because of the high concentration of vehicles in one location. “Theft from vehicles is a one of the most prolific crimes of opportunity throughout the country, and Federal Way is no different,” Schrock said. “The only way to prevent this type of theft is always to remove valuables from your vehicle. Locking valuables in the trunk of your vehicle is an excellent prevention tool, however, it is not theft-proof.”

I wanted to do something to help her.” Lance set up a gofundme.com account on Aug. 1 to raise enough money to replace the equipment Bostic lost. As of Aug. 9, friends, family and some anonymous donors have donated $565 toward the $1,000 goal. “I think, to steal someone’s medical equipment – her dog is basically her medical equipment – that, to me, is just the lowest of the low,” Lance said. “I mean, that’s just a horrendous crime. I just couldn’t let myself just sit idly by and do nothing.” Bostic said she was thrilled when she learned what Lance had done and is grateful for the donations. But that didn’t stop her from becoming consumed with searching for any trace of her equipment. She’s searched websites like Craigslist and OfferUp and has visited several local pawn shops with the police report inhand.
A service dog training vest, Goji’s harness, collars, leashes, reward balls and an expensive training device was stolen. “A huge investment that I saved up money for that was taken was a remote training device, and not only do I use that with some client dogs, I also use that with Goji when we’re on trails for, basically, for protection, because we go hiking,” Bostic said. “He’s a dog. He has a prey drive, and if we’re out there with bears and stuff, he needs a remote [vibration] collar.” That $300 collar also gives her more than protection – it gives her freedom. Bostic said for people who need mobility assistance, service dogs allow them to stay active instead of being bound to a wheelchair or attached to a cane. As for whomever stole her equipment? Bostic has one thing to say to them. “Good things do come from things that are bad, and I just pray they feel they had a better need than he and I, and that their need was bigger than ours.” The site raising funds for Bostic’s new service dog equipment can be found at www.gofundme. com/2hf43rw.

and breaking the girls 13/14-year-old record in the 50 breaststroke. “We had several team records broken and personal best times achieved at the all-city meet,” Muscutt said. “It was phenomenal to see that our swimmers were peaking at the right time.” The postseason surge of success for the Penguins possibly came from a premeet pep talk Muscutt had with the team. In essence, Muscutt and the coaches sat the team down and told them to put the regular season struggles behind them and treat the all-city meet as if it’s the only meet of the year. The words worked, and Muscutt said it was evident the team put the nerves of competition behind them and remembered the aspect of sport that’s supposed to be fun. “I told them it’s easy to be on a team that wins all the time, but when you’re on a team that doesn’t win, you really see the true character of your swimmers,” Muscutt said. “I was so incredibly proud of all of our swimmers’ sportsmanship and attitude throughout the entire season.”
The preparation, pressure and excitement of the allcity meet is over. Like many athletic programs, many athletes will return next year and some will go on to their next chapter. But the work continues on for Muscutt and the coaching staff. There are positions on the team to be filled and fundraising for the upcoming year to be done. The Penguins’ season kicks off each year prior to Memorial Day and concludes the first week of August. The team is part of the Greater Seattle Summer Swim League, which stretches from Federal Way to north Seattle. With the Penguins’ rebound into the Cinderella story of the all-city meet, the only direction for the program and quality of swimmers to go is up. “I think one of the most rewarding aspects about working with ‘summer-only swimmers’ is that you see the huge improvement they make in such a short period of time,” Muscutt said. “I am so excited for us to continue to grow and bring in many more talented swimmers.”

Strategic plan ready to go for Federal Way Public Schools Dear Federal Way Public Schools parents and families, We are looking forward to greeting your child with a smile and warm welcome on Sept. 7, the first day of school. We are committed to providing learning environments in which your child, and each of our approximately 23,000 student-scholars, can learn at high levels with the academic and social-emotional supports they need to graduate college- and career-ready. This past school year, over 2,500 students, teaching and classified staff, district and union leadership, parents, community members, city leaders, and the greater Federal Way community provided valuable input to our strategic plan through community forums, committees and a student voice focus group. This plan will guide our work at the school and district level. Throughout the year, you will hear more about the strategic plan and what it means for the goals and measurable outcomes for your child’s school. Each school will have two goals: One shared by all schools across the district – Goal 2: Whole Child: Thriv-

ing, Confident, Responsible Individuals – and one additional goal chosen by each school. Our strategic plan goals are: 1. The Early Years: Building the Foundation 2. Whole Child: Thriving, Confident, Responsible Individuals 3. Active Learners: Engaged, Empowered Critical Thinkers 4. Content-Area Competence: Mastery of All Subjects 5. Persistence to Graduation: High School Graduation through Successful Transitions As mentioned, the district goal is goal two – Whole
Child: Thriving, Confident, Responsible Individuals. We will have multiple ways we will measure this goal, including attendance, participation in student-led conferences, meeting expectations on non-academic behaviors on the report card, student perception of a safe and welcoming environment, and completion of 24 hours of community service before graduation. Want to learn more about the strategic plan? Check it out on our website at fwps.org. We will also be asking our parents and community members to partner with us to help our scholars meet these important goals to ensure they are college- and career-ready. One immediate way to start the new school year in this partnership is to encourage your child’s/ children’s attendance. Attendance is extremely important as it can impact your child’s academic success in school, as well as their path to graduation. Did you know that a student who misses 10 days or more during a school year is 20 percent less likely to graduate from high school and 25 percent less likely to
ever enroll in college? Also, good attendance is important in the working world, and future employers want employees who consistently show up and give their best effort. Check out our website for more information on helping your child prepare for the first day of school. Important back-to-school information, including school supply lists, can be found on the district and individual school websites. Assistance with school supplies can be requested by contacting your child’s school directly. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for being an integral part of your child’s success. The Federal Way Public Schools team of professionals, including teaching, classified and administrative staff, are committed to ensuring your child thrives academically and social-emotionally. We are excited for the year ahead. In partnership,
Tammy Campbell, Ed.D. Superintendent

New Federal Way High School building largely ready for 2016-17 school year Classrooms and administrative sections of the new Federal Way High School building will be in use by students and faculty when the 2016-17 school year commences. The new building’s theater, gymnasium and cafeteria still has construction to get through, with the theater scheduled to be finished later in the year. The gymnasium and cafeteria will be completed in time for the 2017-18 school year, meaning the original building’s gymnasium and cafeteria will be in use for the coming year. Once staff fully moves into the new building in preparation of the school year, portables will be taken out and demolition on the original building can continue. As construction and deconstruction occur during the 2016-17 school year, a path has been planned so students and faculty can navigate the campus safely.

Boys & Girls Club a prime option for after-school fun BY JEROD YOUNG jyoung@fedwaymirror.com
F
ederal Way is booming and growing faster than ever. A new school year looms, and there are a multitude of new families moving to the city, which means new kids are attending new schools in the district. For full-time working families this can be a challenging time, not knowing the options parents and students have for after-school care and activities here in Federal Way. Mark Hendricks, executive director of the Federal Way Boys & Girls Club, insists there is a pleasant and inspiring list of activities available for new kids in the area. “Parents have lots of options,” Hendricks said. “It all just depends on the age of the child.” For the older kids in the middle to high schoolrange, Hendricks said the Federal Way Community Center is a great place for after-school activity. For
elementary school kids, Hendricks recommends parents check with frontoffice administrators because many can provide school-specific activities. Hendricks said he’s helped the occasional family get their kids involved with their local church, which can also provide after-school care or activities. Through the Boys & Girls Club, which Hendricks naturally advocates as an after-school option, he said he is working with the Federal Way school district to provide additional programs for kids throughout the school year. “We’re lucky that the Boys & Girls Club has two locations in Federal Way,” Hendricks said. “We have a licensed child care program and all-around sports programs. If there are sports programs, like tackle football or other interests that we can’t offer for a new family here, we have a list of resources that can steer you in the right direction.”
The Boys & Girls Club allows early-working parents to drop kids off in the morning, and the club provides kids breakfast, games, assistance with homework if it’s needed, and can even deliver kids to school. When the school day ends, the clubs repeat the cycle. Parents have the option to sign up for the “before school program,” the “after school program,” or both. If families work with the Department of Health and Human Services, Hendricks said the Boys & Girls Club has a working relationship with the Department and can accept the assistance. What’s happening It’s just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday. The lunchroom board game area is empty and quiet. The badminton and basketball courts — empty. The weight and computer rooms are desolate as well. All the kids at the Boys & Girls Club can be found sitting in the “meeting room” at tables and chairs lined in
Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club, Mark Hendricks, ushers in the summer sports camp for the club. The camp caters to children in third grade through eighth grade. Contributed photo a rectangle. The kids are one-by-one sharing their experiences on the local field trip they recently returned from. “This gives them an opportunity to talk about their experience today,” Hendricks said. “A chance to share what they liked, didn’t like. It’s kind of a chance for the kids to get to know each other and also practice open communication skills.” In addition to the field trip, the kids are also wrapping up their final week of sports camp. This week’s topic is the Olympics.
Hendricks said the mission is all about helping kids, whether that means academic assistance or helping with something as simple as providing them a positive activity to do after school while their parents are still at work. Whether it’s before or after school, the club is always there. Doors open at 7 a.m. and close at 6:30 p.m. during the summer months. During the school year they open when school gets out and stay open until about 6:30 p.m. “We’re here when you need us,” Hendricks said.
“We have full-time staff, but unfortunately we can’t be a 24-hour service. But we do the best we can to make sure the community knows we are here for them.” Producing the next generation It’s not just about child care, sports and games for the Boys & Girls Club. Hendricks and the staff at the club work with high school-eligible students moving toward their next step by helping them prepare to enter the workforce.

... BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 Federal Way schools close inaugural summer STEM camps FROM STAFF REPORTS
Federal Way Public Schools and Camp Invention wrapped up their four-week summertime STEM camps at the end of July, saying goodbye to more than 900 elementary-aged students who were interested in expanding their knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math. Eight elementary schools in the district offered a Summer STEM Learning Academy for students entering grades 3, 4 and 5, according to a district release. A similar program was offered at Federal Way Public Academy for up to 90 students transitioning from eighth to ninth grade. Each of the camps were held four days per week from June 20 to July 21. For students attending the camp, a typical day involved time spent reading about a specific science subject and then discussing it with other students in “Socratic Seminars” before moving into a variety of science stations. Literacy was woven into the math and science instruction over the course of the four weeks – district and
Camp Invention officials worked together to select materials from the district’s new English Language Arts curriculum that aligned with the science lessons. Students were able to engage in different areas of STEM learning. Circuitry lessons let them make and adopt a robotic cricket fueled by a solar cell and started with them learning about the biology of a cricket; designing and modeling a hypothetical eco-friendly park let them explore entrepreneurship and physics principals; experience with gears, motors, magnets and 3D printing let the kids employ authentic STEM tools before learning about patents, trademarks and copyright principles related to innovation; and a series of diverse one-off experiments – from demolition and cup tower explosions to programming and coding to the chemistry of polymer slime and spinning disco ball circuits – rounded out the camp. “In support of the strategic plan goal No. 5 – Persistence to Graduation: High School Graduation through Successful Transitions – many of our scholars received enrichment activities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math with literacy skills integrated throughout at multiple sites,” Federal Way Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Tammy Campbell said in a statement.

Contributed photo “We know the importance of our scholars continuing their learning in the summer months, and this opportunity gets kids excited about science, technology, engineering and math, better preparing them for STEM college and career pathways.” The district’s partner in all that, Camp Invention, bills itself as “the only nationally recognized summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problem solving and the spirit of invention.” Since 1990, the nonprofit’s education programs have reached more then 1 million children and 125,000 teachers.
ship with Wild Waves, where the waterpark helps kids get their first job. “That’s what we want,” Hendricks said. “Working with Wild Waves has been fantastic. They love the kids, and the kids have really benefited from the experience and learned valuable life lessons.” What it’s all about While Hendricks has only been with the Federal Way Boys & Girls Club for four years, he’s worked in the organization for nearly 30. And although he’s been at it for a long time, his mission remains the same: Inclusion for all. Hendricks said he makes it a point when crafting new games, programs or ideas, to make it special and keep it a surprise for the kids. Though it can be harder with the high school kids, the staff tries their best to keep ideas and events a complete secret until they’re revealed. “Any parent or kid thinking about the Boys & Girls Club, I invite them to come down when we’re busy like this,” Hendricks said. “When do you want your child here? Come here and visit us during that time and see what it’s like.”

As the new school year begins, I would like to wish each student success and adventure. Receiving an education is not just what you learn from a textbook. It’s also what you learn from the wonderful Jim Ferrell, interactions you will experience Federal Way Mayor between your friends, coaches, teachers, and fellow students. Starting a new year truly means you have the opportunity to expand your horizons. My advice to you is to reach for the outer limits of what you believe is possible. Keep an open mind and above all, enjoy each moment. I look forward to hearing of your successes throughout the year! Jim Ferrell, Mayor

Make ahead meal for the back-to-school season FROM STATE POINT
When the school year starts, the hours in the day become more precious. With time spent ferrying the kids to soccer practice, making sure homework gets done and simply relaxing, cooking family meals can sometimes get short shrift or you succumb to takeout temptations. Mornings are often rushed, but don’t skip the most important meal of the day. Consider nutrition-packed breakfasts that can be prepared in the evening and reheated in the morning. “Make-Ahead-Breakfast-Bakes” is an idea to help create a tasty, nutritious breakfast in a flash. The recipe that follows is from Heather Tullos, the author and photographer behind SugarDishMe.com.
Highline College High School Programs provide opportunities to complete or enhance your high school education. Many of our programs allow you to take college courses that, with careful planning, apply towards both your high school graduation requirements and college degree.

3. Drop a tomato into each cup. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and then bake for 5-6 minutes. 4. While the potatoes pre-bake, whisk together onions, bell peppers and egg, making sure to lightly beat the eggs. Note: basically any ingredient that works in an omelet will work here! 5. Take the muffin tin from the oven, pour the egg mixture into each cup, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 12-14 more minutes. The eggs will puff up in the oven. When they are done, the center won’t jiggle. 6. Remove from oven. After they cool for a minute, loosen around the edges with a knife and lift from the pan. 7. Serve immediately or let them cool completely before wrapping and freezing. Microwave to reheat.

... BACK TO SCHOOL 2016
School’s back, and more expensive, in 2016 BY JEROD YOUNG jyoung@fedwaymirror.com
If numbers show one thing, it’s that school isn’t cheap these days. It’s rough to be a parent with school-aged children, with the cost of classroom supplies and extracurricular activities on the rise. According to the Backpack Index, the cost of supplies and extracurricular activities has increased astronomically since 2007, and it’s hit the Federal Way school district particularly hard. Tracy Oster, Executive Director of Communities in Schools of Federal Way, said the numbers are very alarming, but a goal of her organization is to provide the district with as much support as it can. “These numbers are very concerning,” Oster said. “If poverty is increasing in Federal Way, that means free and reduced lunches are increasing. It’s unfortunate some families will have to choose whether or not they buy groceries. While we have no control over the costs, we try to do everything we can to provide support, such as our school supply drive.” Below is a “by the numbers” report on Federal Way Public Schools, with numbers accurate as of the conclusion of the 2014-15 school year: Number of students in the district: 22,511 Number of staff members in the district: 3,085 Number of schools in the district: 39 Graduation rate: 76.2 percent, which is up 3.4 percent from 2013-14
The following numbers come from up-to-date research conducted by Communities in Schools of Federal Way: 25 percent of Federal Way students don’t graduate on time. 59 percent of Federal Way students live in poverty. 30 percent of high school students and 20 percent of middle school students in Federal Way were chronically absent in 2015-16. Though the numbers look bad, Oster says they’re nonetheless heading in the right direction. “Believe it or not, these numbers are an indication of improvement,” Oster said. “These numbers are actually an indication of how the state is doing, and we are doing something right. I know the district has a high focus on student absences because they are noticeably high. We are working any way we can to help provide any kind of outreach and help.” Through the Backpack Index, Communities in Schools of Federal Way anticipates there to be a “decrease this year in classroom supply costs, but a spike in school extracurricular activity fees.” Since the 2007-08 school year, the index has also estimated the cost of supplies and extracurricular activities has increased from 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle school students and 68 percent for high school students. For supplies and extracurricular activities in the upcoming 2016-17 school year, the Backpack Index
and Communities in Schools projects that parents can expect, per child, to pay: $659 for elementary school students, a 1.5 percent increase compared to 2015. $957 for middle school students, a 1.6 percent increase compared to 2015. $1,498 for high school students, a 6.8 percent increase compared to 2015. According to the report, from 2015 to 2016 high school supply costs decreased 1.8 percent, but there was a 10 percent increase in combined extracurricular and college prep activity costs, due primarily to increasing sports participation fees. Middle school supply costs for the coming school year decreased 6 percent, but fees increased 6 percent. Because elementary schools don’t typically offer school-sanctioned sports and clubs, fees at those grade levels saw a slight stabilization with an increase of 2.9 percent. “It’s unfortunate that these costs will be seen as a barrier,” Oster said. “But I know the state is working to change its funding and Federal Way is doing everything it can to support that.” Federal Way multi-sport athletes can expect spikes as well. Athletes participating in more than one sport can expect to pay up to $375 in pay-to-play fees, which is an 87.5 percent jump from 2015. The large cost increase represents schools moving away from previous caps on sports participation fees for student-athletes involved in more than one sport.
How families and teachers prep for school FROM STAFF REPORTS
(StatePoint) It may be summertime, but parents and educators alike are beginning to look ahead towards the 2016-2017 school year. Here are three ways they are getting prepared. Check-Up The school year brings with it a lot of contact with a lot of kids. An annual physical, scheduled before the school year begins is an excellent way to make sure children are up-to-date with vaccinations and in good general health. Parents of young athletes may want to speak to their pediatrician about injury prevention and other related concerns. This is also an ideal time to schedule an appointment with an optometrist if kids are complaining of any near or farsightedness. Whether it’s the blackboard, a book or a projected image in the classroom, wearing needed glasses on day one will make the transition to a new school year much smoother. New Tech Tools New technology has the power to create strong engagement in learning this fall and beyond. Educators are busy securing tools that aid students in learning key skills needed for their futures, while benefiting the school. For example, Casio’s portfolio of LampFree classroom projectors combine a laser and LED light source to provide a unique, high-brightness, mercury-free tool that uses half the power per unit than its traditional lamp-based counterparts. A 20,000-hour lifespan, the
equivalent of approximately 18 years of school use, means that schools can save nearly $2,500 when compared to traditional mercury lamp projectors. Reading Season Whether poolside or on a road trip, all those hours of free time make summer the ideal season to squeeze in recreational reading — even in the late days leading up to the new school year. While summer reading should definitely be fun, ideally it will also supplement the curriculum ahead. Whether choosing books early or late in the summer, check out age-appropriate summer reading lists published by your school and library that can keep kids entertained, and help them get a leg up on classroom learning. Parents, students and schools alike are using the summer wisely to get prepped for a productive school year ahead.
Back-to-school time is vaccination time FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Washington State Department of Health is urging parents to ensure their kids’ immunizations are up-to-date prior to going back to school this fall. “Summer is a busy time, and immunizations are often overlooked,” State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy said in a statement. “Vaccines are critical protection for our children and help keep other kids around them safe from many diseases such as whooping cough and measles.” Requirements for various age-level immunizations can be found at www.doh. wa.gov — most notably, chicken pox vaccination requirements have changed.

in their purchases. “It’s never a good feeling to buy your child new clothes, only to find a favorite color, pattern or style has changed,” says Shawn Redman, senior buyer and kids’ fashion expert for Zulily. com. “This back-to-school season, our ’Kids’ Trend Report’ uncovered that now, more than ever, it’s important to involve kids in the shopping process to lessen potential power struggles and inspire smiles on the first day of school.” Redman recommends planning ahead to avoid stress. Start by cleaning out your kids’ closets so you can see what still fits and
create an accurate checklist of needed items. Then, look for the best deals to help you stay within budget. Online retailers like Zulily. com can be a go-to destination to discover great deals on back-to-school shopping, including a variety of shoes, apparel, accessories and school supplies. Daily, the site features a new assortment of unique looks at great prices. To help parents shop for kids, Zulily is offering key survey findings from kids ages five to 12, in its inaugural ‘Kids’ Trend Report.’ • Girls go against gender norms while embracing the combination of comfort
and style, with their top look being athletic (40 percent), followed by boho (33 percent). Boys, however, are looking to a more adultinfluenced approach for fashion inspiration, preferring city chic (48 percent) and preppy (33 percent) for their back-to-school wardrobe. • The classic, yet cool, color of blue is the top choice among all kids (26 percent). However, for girls, pink (29 percent) and purple (25 percent) reign supreme. Boys still prefer blue (42 percent), with red (15 percent) and black (12 percent) coming in as second and third choices.
• Sorry mom, girls say you are not their number one style icon. While many moms use their own style as the main source of inspiration when shopping for their kids (38 percent), girls are more likely to turn to friends (41 percent) first for inspiration, then to mom (26 percent), followed closely by television (22 percent). Boys continue to go with the flow and frequently turn to parents for style inspiration first (38 percent), followed closely by friends (34 percent), with television being the smallest source of their style inspiration (14 percent).
• Style inspiration isn’t the only thing moms and daughters may not see eye-to-eye on, with 36 percent of moms admitting to disagreeing on clothing choices with their daughters. To beat the wardrobe wars, a majority of moms (58 percent) recommend giving their children choices and letting them ultimately pick their own outfits. “The back-to-school season is a perfect opportunity to inspire kids to express their individuality and boost their confidence,” says Redman.

At Federal Way Public Schools, we are ensuring each scholar has a voice, a dream, and a bright future.
THE EARLY YEARS: BUILDING THE FOUNDATION
Our strategic plan is our roadmap to guide our student-scholars’ journey towards a bright future, from the early years to post-secondary pursuits.
ACTIVE LEARNERS: ENGAGED, EMPOWERED CRITICAL THINKERS
Every student-scholar will enter kindergarten ready to learn with the social/emotional skills that will propel each student to meet or exceed grade level standards in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics by the end of 3rd grade.
WHOLE CHILD: THRIVING, CONFIDENT, RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS
Every student-scholar will be empowered and prepared to develop personal responsibility in order to be positive, productive members of society.
Every student-scholar will be empowered with ownership of their education and be fully engaged in becoming critical and creative thinkers.
CONTENT-AREA COMPETENCE: MASTERY OF ALL SUBJECTS
Every student-scholar will receive equitable opportunity for success, and will meet or exceed standards of performance in all subjects by the end of each grade.
PERSISTENCE TO GRADUATION: HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION THROUGH SUCCESSFUL TRANSITIONS
Every student-scholar will successfully navigate the critical transitions in their schooling, and will graduate from high school ready for college, career, and post-secondary experiences.

applause accompanied by nary a dry eye in the house. As the club has moved along — creating Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to consistently spread the word and promote friendship — it has presented what Gabert calls a “teaching moment” for people who might not be comfortable around people with disabilities. Martin has seen perspectives shift, stereotypes shattered and the “R-word” used less, which is especially important for students to be taught at a young age. It’s how allies are made and barriers are broken down. “It’s really important for their peers to know they’re high school students too, they’re people too; they have the same hopes and dreams as everyone else,” Martin said. “Somebody’s disJoe and Gwen Gabert share a smile. Photo ability does not courtesy of Gwen Gabert define them.” Martin has of students, faculty and seen her students’ social administration. In the two skills develop through the years since, the club has club and their ability to put on dances, played Just respond well to peer-toDance, held pizza parties peer connection, saying and a carnival. A video creher students treat everyone ated by the club highlighting they meet like rockstars. the joy of BFF Club and She highlights one instance all its members was shown where a girl in her class was at an assembly this past often reluctant to speak, school year, and according but then BFF Club came to Martin, there was raucous around and she began talkthings every other student can do to make more friendships, so BFF Club gives him and all the other special education students a chance to make more friends like every other student in high school.” After the dance, Gabert and her friends were repeated guests in Martin’s class any chance they could get, and the idea to become more was born. Two months after that, they were a club armed with the support
ing everyone’s ear off about some of her favorite things. She even made it into the video shown at the assembly — something Martin never thought would happen. To Martin and Gabert, that’s where the magic of BFF Club lies — everyone gets something positive out of opportunities to promote and create long-lasting friendships. The love shown in the club’s motives all come back to one powerful, simple ideal: inclusion. Or, as Martin puts it, “Can you imagine not having friends?” The duo hope the impact Federal Way High School’s BFF Club has made will encourage other schools — elementary to college — to embark on a similar path of creating inclusive schools. Martin and Gabert are willing and able to help any school interested as they hope word-of-mouth and BFF Club’s social media presence reaches as many people as they can. Or, in Gabert’s words, “We want to expand to the world.” That may be a lofty goal, but Gabert has already made connections at Todd Beamer, Decatur and Thomas Jefferson high schools, and she has no plans of stopping her pursuit of increasing awareness to the fact that what makes people different is what makes them great. Gabert gets tripped up on her words as her mouth attempts to keep up with the passion fueling her thoughts, something doubt-

lessly based on the impact the students of Martin’s class had on her last two years of high school and the person her little brother helped mold her into. “I just want to make the world a better place and a better place for Joe,” Gabert said. “BFF Club is one of the many things that is such a positive thing to have [in his life].” Or, as the header of the club’s Facebook page writes, “Everyone needs a BFF.” Martin, Gabert and others affiliated with BFF Club are happy to help start similar organizations.

[ LETTERS from page 8 ] agree it is a real problem). Firstly, to her credit, she leads by example and is “paying it forward”; that is, she is sharing with others some of the resources that God provided her with. Secondly, she is leading the effort to make college curriculum more culturally relevant to black and Hispanic students, which may or may not work in the Arts and Humanities but is irrelevant to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curricula. I applaud Ms. Word’s attempt at starting a discussion, but I profoundly disagree with her assessment of, and prescription for, the problems our educational system faces. I think she is sending the message to our youth that they are prisoners of their circumstances

Police care for policy over safety On Aug. 1, returning from our daughter’s house about noon, I noticed a rather full, unattended, backpack lying in a parking lot at the intersection of SR161 and South 342nd Street. I could have stopped and examined it myself, but I thought that the police (or the bomb squad) would be better qualified for the job. City Hall is about halfway home, so I made a slight detour there to make a report in person to the police department.
“Garage sale” benefits animal shelters FROM STAFF REPORTS
On Friday and Saturday Aug. 12-13, the King County Pet Adoption Center (21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent) will host Regional Animal Services of King County’s “Garage Sale Fundraiser.” Donated household goods and pet items will be on sale. All proceeds go toward a cat colony room and “catio” to be made at the Pet Adoption Center. The sale will begin at 7 a.m. and go until 5 p.m. on both days.
Entering the main entrance, I found “Police” on the first door on the left. Entering a small lobby, a uniformed police officer approached from behind bullet-proof glass and asked what I wanted. I gave my report about the unattended backpack. The officer said, “We don’t do dispatch here. You’ll have to call 911.” “But I came here in person to give you this report.” “Sorry, but it is police policy.” I turned on my heel and drove home to make my report by phone, wasting another 10 minutes, with a possible bomb lying in a public parking lot. Is this bureaucratic intransigence what we should expect from our FWPD?

His initiative during the event spread the word and made his name a hot commodity. “That really widened the audience of who I got to lead and who I got to work with,” Dawson said. “From that, people got word of the work I’d been doing and I got connected with more people, and from there it was just connecting the dots to things I was already doing that allowed me to share things throughout the Federal Way community.” Since leaving the city for Spokane, Dawson said it’s the normality and inclusion of diversity he misses most about his home town. Since starting school at Gonzaga, Dawson has returned to his alma mater on multiple occasions to visit some of his favorite classes — despite his hectic schedule, he found time to return as recently as May. During that visit, he visited a former class, which happened to be a personal favorite, and was met with an immediate sense of that inclusion.

I’m a CarePartner because... We partner with CarePartners because every day is a celebration and every resident is special. When it was time for a family member to move to assisted living the first place I thought of was CarePartners. I knew that the care he would receive would be stellar, but it was more than just that. I knew that he would be honored for the life he led, and who he is today. Also, CHCServices is privileged to be the company CarePartners turns to when they need assistance in their staffing needs.

The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Transient man tased by police: At 6:56 a.m. on Aug. 1 in the 32000 block of 1st Avenue South, a man arrived to work and found “an unwanted transient male” sleeping in the parking lot. After being told to leave by the man, the transient male became angry and charged at him — prompting him to call 911. Officers responded to the scene and found the transient male armed with a metal object and taking actions to resist arrest, including positioning himself “as if he was going to assault officers.” Officers responded by tasing the man and subsequently booked him into SCORE jail. Cyclist claiming to be on heroin arrested: At 9:55 a.m. on Aug. 1 in the 900 block of South 344th Street, a man was stopped by an officer for “riding his bicycle down the middle of the roadway with no helmet.” The man was found to have a misdemeanor theft warrant out of Federal Way and was detained. Upon being detained, the man claimed to have ingested heroin; he was cleared medically and taken to SCORE jail. iPhone stolen at LA Fitness: At 8:07 p.m. on Aug. 1 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway South, a man reported his vehicle’s driver’s side door window had been broken and his iPhone 5C stolen while his vehicle was parked in an LA Fitness parking lot. No cameras were pointed at the victim’s car, and nothing else was stolen. No evidence or suspects could be obtained. Man angered by cold pizza, aggressively takes off shirt: At 8:14 p.m. on Aug. 1 in the 1700 block of South 281st Place, a pizza delivery driver called 911 over a verbal confrontation with a male customer. The man was upset when the delivery driver arrived with a cold pizza and proceeded to take off his shirt and yell at the driver “as if he wanted to fight.” No one was injured in the confrontation. “Baggie” of heroin found: At 3:48 p.m. on Aug. 2 in the 31000 block of Pacific Highway South, police were called when individuals found “a baggie of drugs.” The bag was booked into evidence and tests eventually came back “presumptive positive for heroin.” Domestic violence lands man in jail: At 10:52 p.m. on Aug. 2 in the 3000 block of South 288th Street, an adult male was booked into SCORE jail after allegedly punching his wife three times. Yelling, barefoot woman disrupts office complex: At 8:09 a.m. on Aug. 3 in the 31000 block of 23rd Ave South, a barefoot woman inside an office complex was reportedly disrupting business by yelling loudly and rapidly speaking in a language that responding officers couldn’t understand. Officers described the woman was “very agitated and aggressive in nature” and found attempts to speak to her unsuccessful. Officers concluded the woman was “unable to care for herself” and “in danger of becoming gravely disabled” and had her involuntarily committed. Subject throws rocks at vehicles, urinates when officers attempt contact: At 11:41 a.m. on Aug. 3 in the 34000 block of Pacific Highway South, witnesses called police to report someone was throwing rocks at passing vehicles. Upon police contact, the subject (no gender recorded) ran across six lanes of traffic, disrobed, urinated, then “spread liquid upon self and officers attempting contact.” Subject was transported to St. Francis Hospital for mental and medical evaluation. Jewelry, electronics stolen: At 2:06 p.m. on Aug. 3 in the 1200 block of Southwest 301st Street, officers investigated a suspected forced entry into a first-floor window of a residence that led to “approximately $1,800 of jewelry and electronics” being reported stolen.

along a ditch reported noticing “where someone had possibly dumped human waste” on Aug. 1. The man said there was about three inches of moisture emitting a foul smell and said a nearby RV could have dumped the waste but said he didn’t actually see anyone dumping anything. The responding officer noticed some moisture “but no odd smells” or signs of anyone dumping human wastes. Attempts to contact owners of the RV were negative and the case closed. Boys harass woman at her residence: At 6:26 p.m. on Aug. 3 in the 33000 block of 26th Avenue Southwest, a woman reported ongoing issues with four 11- to 12-year-old males, including throwing trash on her residence, taunting her and throwing a rock that nearly hit her. The reporting officer conducted an area check for the juveniles but didn’t find anything. There were no injuries or property damage, but the incidents were documented by police. Thrown rocks, can of food break windows: At 6:57 p.m. on Aug. 3 in the 600 block of South 348th Street, unknown suspects threw rocks and a can of food at a building, breaking both panes of the sliding glass front door and one pane of a large window in front.

Officers say a male and a female were “having relations” in a bathroom; friends of the female believed she had been attacked in the “relations,” prompting a fight among both parties.

Facebook threats made over vehicle impound: At 6:13 a.m. on Aug. 5 in the 27000 block of Pacific Highway South, a man reported “vague threats on Facebook” in regards to a homeless man with whom he once worked. The reporting man said the homeless man was arrested for DUI after the reporting man allowed him to sleep in his car, which caused the vehicle to be impounded. The homeless man had personal documents in the car and wanted the car out of impound, but the reporting man refused to pay the fees. Through Facebook, the reporting man said the homeless man “threatened to come to his house and, ‘one of us are going to jail.’” Officers determined no crime had thus far been committed, but the reporting man was encouraged to dial 911 if the homeless man came to his residence or work.

full scholarship based on leadership, academics and commitment to service. It was the university message of “education for the whole person” that sold Dawson on Gonzaga as opposed to schools on the west side of the state. He said it resonated with him because he felt university officials wanted him to develop in every way possible. Dr. Judith BiggsGarbuio, the university’s vice president of student development, said it’s
languages. “That someone could come to our school from a different community that doesn’t speak English and feel included, but to also have other students who can translate to their peers… that’s that metropolitan diversity that I cherish most about Federal Way.” Dawson found his way to Gonzaga through the Act 6 Scholarship, which is given to emerging urban
www.federalwaymirror.com evident with Dawson that, once he educates himself on something, he always makes sure to share that knowledge with others. “Caleb is really good about finding something that is missing and developing a program to fill that need,” Biggs-Garbuio said. “And for him, there is no reward required. It’s to help strengthen the student experience.” Once on the Gonzaga campus, Dawson’s star rose swiftly. He got connected with student development
to help promote campus diversity by launching the Gonzaga Scares Hunger food drive, where Dawson gathered a group of students to go trick-or-treating for canned goods to donate to families in need. The event was a success, and the group raised upwards of 400 pounds of food. Dawson was appointed by Gonzaga President Thayne McCulloh to serve on the University Council for Equity, Inclusion and Intercultural Awareness,
which works to “help ensure students, faculty and staff feel affirmed and valued.” His resume, in addition to his infectious personality, won him the student body presidency in the spring of 2015. “I think the students resonated not just with his overall personality, but with his campaign platform,” Biggs-Garbuio said. Dawson also spent a month studying abroad in Chile in 2015. Initially, Dawson said he was pre-
pared to experience the country as just a vacationlike paradise, but he said he learned to appreciate the Pacific Northwest through all the breath-taking sites in the South American nation. “It prompted me to think, ‘Wow, why don’t I do things like hiking or skiing here?’” Dawson said. “It reminded me of how blessed I am with the opportunities I have here and that I should take advantage of them.” The experience also [ more LEADER, page 35 ]

www.federalwaymirror.com [ LEADER from page 34 ] forced him to adjust his perspective. Dawson noticed how patient and encouraging Chileans were when his Spanish was a little off or even entirely incorrect. “I was concerned with how articulate or intelligent people thought I was since I couldn’t communicate as well in Spanish as I could in English,” Dawson said. “But then I realized, ‘Wow, how often do I judge people based on how well they speak when that’s not necessarily indicative of
their intelligence, like it was in my case?’ Making sure to give people grace in the way people express themselves.” After returning from Chile, others could readily see the changes in Dawson. “I really noticed a difference in him,” Armstrong said. “It had a real impact on him and his ability to connect with diverse students.” When Dawson graduates in the spring of 2017, he said it’s likely he’ll continue on to graduate school. First, though, he’ll spend five months in the
Emerson National Hunger Fellows Program, which addresses poverty in the context of social inequality. Dawson will then be placed in the field to gain experience before doing consulting and policy analysis work in Washington, D.C. What he does after graduate studies and the fellowship is still up in the air. Dawson said he’s leaning toward a career in civic engagement or community organizing, but added that working abroad or on student development in higher educa-
tion is not out of the question either. While he has yet to set a specific career path in stone, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find Dawson making difference normal in Federal Way. “That’s home. That’s my community,” Dawson said. “I definitely have a strong affinity to continuing this work in Federal Way, since that’s home and that’s what sparks my consciousness about these issues. So I see Federal Way as the place I could do that long-term.”
