Family fights retinal disease Federal Way brothers are slowly losing vision

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Imagine being told that you are slowly losing your sight. Imagine being told that one day, you will be completely blind because of a genetic defect in your eyes. Imagine knowing what the world looks like, and imag-

ine having that taken away from you.

Those hard thoughts are some that brothers Matt and James Hoag, and their parents Mike and Mary, have had to contemplate in the past few years. Matt and James were diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a retinal degenerative disease that slowly contracts the field of vision for those affected by it.

The family raised awareness and money for research for RP and other retinal degenerative diseases on Oct.

9 in Seattle’s Magnusson Park as part of the Foundation Fighting Blindness VisionWalk.

Mike Hoag attempted to explain what his sons are experiencing. He said RP means those affected end up seeing life through a gradually narrowing hole.

“The boys have limited night vision and limited peripheral vision,” the elder Hoag said. “The progressive means it gets narrower and narrower [ more HOAG, p. 4 ]

Calling all sculptors: temporary park will open downtown

BY ANDY HOBBS editor@federalwaymirror.com

Federal Way seeks local artists to contribute sculptures for a temporary downtown park.

Slated for a grassy parcel near the Federal Way Transit Center, the future park will feature four to six sculptures for outdoor

display.

The park will be located at the corner of 21st Avenue South and South 316th Street. A sign will mark the park’s entrance, with small signs identifying the artists and sculptures. The city will also build a wheelchairaccessible trail.

The park will stay open until that city-owned land is redeveloped. For now, the city is committed to doing two six-month cycles, said spokesman Chris Carrel.

This means another set of sculptures will be sought six months after the park opens.

“This interim sculpture park came about as one way to create some culture and a different flavor for the downtown that encourages people to be out and about in downtown,” Carrel said.

“We’re trying to do this in a very cost-effective way.”

Applications are being accepted through Oct. 28, with the park set to open

in early 2012. The project is sponsored by the Federal Way Arts Commission and 4Culture, the cultural services agency for King County. Selected artists will receive a $250 honorarium for their works.

“Our target artist is someone who has a piece made and is looking to showcase it,” said Alexa Heidrich, planning intern with the city. Heidrich said the competition is open to [ more PARK, p. 4 ]

This land adjacent to the Federal Way Transit Center will become a temporary “sculpture park.” ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror

Q: Why are you running for the South King Fire and Rescue board of commissioners, and what kind of impact can you make on the board?

t .BSL 5IPNQTPO QPTJUJPO 4): The fire service was my career path that started in Federal Way as a resident volunteer in 1969 while attending Bates Technical College in Tacoma. While a volunteer, I served as a lieutenant and captain.

I want to give back to the community and to continue the path of providing top quality fire and emergency services by dedicated and professional staff and get the best bang for our tax dollars through the continuing use of our Strategic Leadership Plan, which is the blueprint for the district’s future. I understand the fire service issues and the need to be involved at the local, county and state levels so as to be better informed and to share my knowledge and experience with other fire department commissioners and leaders. t +BNFT 'PTTPT QPTJUJPO It has been my honor and privilege to have served in the fire service for more than 40 years.

According to a Wikipedia article on RP, the condition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a group of genetic eye conditions that leads to incurable blindness.â&#x20AC;? RP starts with night blindness and then progresses to the tun-

above. Some RP patients do not go legally blind until their 40s or 50s, and retain some sight all their lives, according to Wikipedia.

Others go completely blind from RP, in some cases as early as childhood.

RP attacks the photoreceptors in the eye, the rods and cones, by causing abnormalities in those structures.

www.federalwaymirror.com James, 28, is affected especially by RP because of his job as a video game tester. Matt, 30, is a faculty member in the accounting department at Cal-State Sacramento. Matt graduated from Federal Way High School in 1999, while James was a 2001 graduate of FWHS. Both of his sons have made Mike Hoag proud in the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with this difficult

and eventually debilitating disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just amazed at the courage my two boys have in dealing with this because I know the courage it takes in dealing with this every day, as they face new challenges like giving up driving a car or realizing new challenges in a profession youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pursuing, because now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to do it with limited eyesight,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patient care involves commitment, integrity and sensitivity.â&#x20AC;?

Federal Way brothers Matt and James Hoag were diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a retinal degenerative disease that slowly contracts their field of vision. COURTESY PHOTO said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess for me...itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling of sadness for them, but really, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m amazed at their courage through all of it.â&#x20AC;?

Hoag said that both Matt and James still have enough vision to not require aides of any kind. However, he said Matt has been thinking about turning to such things.

According to Hoag, RP is a genetic condition, but that there was no history of it in the family until Matt and James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people like my son Matthew, self-diagnosed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knew something was going on and kept pursuing that.

Mary and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much about it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a genetic condition and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of it in either of our families. So, we still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have any clear traces beyond our two boys.â&#x20AC;?

Hoag said the University of Washington is currently conducting some cutting edge research, and that funds raised from Vision-

Walk could help further similar efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The UW has some very interesting programs where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually looking at stem cells, where they can take your own cells, create stem cells for your body and make them into a retina, and then start testing different medications to see those that might stop the progress, or actually, even reverse the progress,â&#x20AC;? he said.

While his boys face a tough road, Hoag said he and wife, Mary, find a silver lining in many ways for the condition affecting their two sons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I derive hope from looking at some of the research that is going on being supported by the Foundation Fighting Blindness. I guess hope is very important to both Mary and I,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gain hope by keeping informed about all the good research thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, and then we support those efforts by trying to give personally and by raising money for the VisionWalk.â&#x20AC;?

City council, position 5 For Federal Way City Council position 5, The Mirror endorses Jack Dovey.

It must be noted that his opponent, Bob Celski, should have run for position 3. He would have won it hands down. Celski brings notable business and management experience to the table. He is an intelligent individual who deserves a spot on the council.

The Mirror recommends Dovey because of his demonstrated ability to turn ideas into reality in Federal Way. He is credited with co-launching the Cascadia MedTech business incubator, which will help generate jobs. Dovey’s open-mindedness is also an asset. For example, Dovey initially opposed the future performing arts and civic center. However, once it passed, Dovey got on board and is willing to make the project the best it can be. That sort of political humbleness is a good character trait for a local elected official.

With economic development and job creation being the city’s top priorities, Dovey’s entrepreneurial spirit benefits Federal Way. Voters would be wise to grant him another term.

City council, position 7 For Federal Way City Council position 7, The Mirror endorses Dini Duclos.

Duclos’ business acumen and no-nonsense work ethic are assets. She is also a key player in Federal Way’s quality of life as CEO of the MultiService Center, one of the area’s top charities.

Her opponent, Keith Tyler, has a lot of good ideas but hasn’t really put up a fight in this race.

Duclos is engaged at multiple levels of city life, from human services to zoning and planning.

With the performing arts and civic center apparently coming to fruition, her leadership will be a welcome ingredient in the project. When it comes to matters of economic development and job creation, Duclos needs to be in the conversation. Duclos brings an analytical voice that enriches the city leadership pool. She has earned another term on the council.

Susan Honda emerged from the August primary with a commanding lead over Roger Flygare in the race to succeed retiring Federal Way City Councilman Mike Park.

Honda believes her experience in City Hall as chair of the arts and diversity commissions have prepared her to be an effective council member. She has been endorsed by council members Linda Kochmar, Jim Ferrell and Roger Freeman. While she is not partisan, she acknowledges leaning toward being a Democrat.

She anticipates spending about $18,000 on her election.

She favors “responsible development” and believes the city business climate could be healthier. She would like to look at the sign code and permits. While not challenging any office holder directly, she does raise the issue of “ethical accountable government” and has a concern that the council doesn’t always listen to its advisory boards. Some of her supporters were surprised at the “message” when Mayor Skip Priest hired her opponent’s son to work for the city as a lobbyist on the Sound Transit issue.

She only says it was “interesting.”

Honda doesn’t want to raise taxes and plans to go through the budget and look for any areas to cut. She is also concerned that the city may be cutting too deeply and is reluctant to cut city services deeper. She believes Federal Way’s regional image is a significant concern and would like to improve it. Her Municipal League rating was “very good.”

Her opponent, Roger Flygare, has a difficult task in trying to make up significant ground after the primary. Flygare is a local businessman who has been involved in Democratic politics

for many years. He has worked on state issues in Olympia and has been endorsed by Sen. Tracey Eide, Rep. Mark Miloscia and Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis. He believes his business background and political experience prepare him for the city council better than his opponent.

He also feels the neighborhoods need a stronger voice. He notes that many want speed bumps due to traffic problems and that crime continues to be a concern. He says: “I saw Federal Way changing and not in a positive way… I want to help.” He recognizes the challenge he has in front of him and plans to doorbell 10,000 homes and do direct mail. He also feels a good turnout

by Democrats will help him. Flygare’s campaign has raised $7,200 so far and he expects to raise more. His Municipal League rating was “adequate.”

Both Honda and Flygare say they would consider taxes, but only as a last resort. Both supported the $20 license tab fee as a way to help people who need that service.

Incumbent council member Dini Duclos is the frontrunner in her race with challenger Keith Tyler. As deputy mayor of Federal Way, Duclos has a higher profile and her campaign was the first to get organized. She anticipates a budget of $15,000 and has been endorsed by Mayor Skip Priest, council members Ferrell and Kochmar, and King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer. Although she does recuse herself on votes involving her employer, the Multi-Service Center, that experience combined with her previous position as chair of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce would seem to provide a balanced political resume.

For Federal Way City Council position 3, The Mirror endorses Roger Flygare.

Susan Honda, his opponent, has earned her stripes in community service. As a council member, Honda would be engaged and present in community life. However, today’s economic climate calls for experience in the real business world. As a small business owner, this experience gives Flygare an edge. Economic development and job creation are the city’s top priorities. The public and council will benefit from Flygare’s straight-forward communication when it’s time to take a stance or pitch an idea. Honda’s timid approach to a minor issue like term limits, for example, raises a red flag as to how decisive she will be whenever more pressing issues are on the line.

Had this been otherwise, she might have earned The Mirror’s endorsement.

Flygare has also honed an understanding of the government process, especially at the state level, during his career in the court reporting business.

This experience will serve the city well. For city council position 3, The Mirror recommends voting for Roger Flygare.

School district should explore informed consent Recently there has been some passionate discussion about “academic acceleration” at Federal Way School Board meetings. All of this “passion” seems to be coming from Thomas Jefferson High School

parents, which might suggest that parents of the other three high schools are not that involved in their children’s education, or this process isn’t happening at these schools.

There are certainly good intentions in what the district is trying to do. But I think they have missed an important step.

I would like to use a medical analogy to explain my point.

Suppose your child was not feeling well, so you decided to take him/her to the doctor.

The doctor would perform tests that might pinpoint the problem. Schools do this also.

Suppose that some of the tests the doctor performed suggested that surgery was the best solution. In this case the doctor would likely provide [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

[ LETTERS from page 4] you, the parent, with a list of the options, risks and probable results. The doctor would then ask you to sign a release form if you elected to have surgery performed.

This in the medical field is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;informed consent.â&#x20AC;? This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what the school district has done.

They have given the tests and then started surgery without the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; consent. If a doctor were to do this, he would probably face loss of license to practice medicine and a lawsuit.

Suppose you agreed with the doctor and signed the informed consent form and the surgery was performed.

When you then visited your child in the recovery room, you found that not only the surgery had been performed, but the child now has a tattoo of â&#x20AC;&#x153;SpongeBobâ&#x20AC;? on his forehead!

You ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;? The surgeon explains that when

your child was recovering, he/she was asked if they would like this, and they said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cool!â&#x20AC;? and so they complied. You might get just a little upset and feel that there was no â&#x20AC;&#x153;informed consent.â&#x20AC;? Your child now has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;chronicâ&#x20AC;? disfigurement that is likely to have lifelong implications. The lawsuit shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long.

Something similar to this is taking place in schools, not just in Federal Way, but in most schools. Your child is tested and then a â&#x20AC;&#x153;planâ&#x20AC;? (like a surgery) is undertaken. Informed consent?

Probably not! Possible longterm (chronic) implications? Certainly!

If your child believes that this â&#x20AC;&#x153;planâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right for them, can they change it to make it more â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun,â&#x20AC;? or make it â&#x20AC;&#x153;easier,â&#x20AC;? or to get in the right lunch period, or avoid a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard teacher?â&#x20AC;?

The school will probably be willing to do this.

Herein lies one of the

www.federalwaymirror.com greatest weaknesses of our [ ROEGNER from page 4] education system. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking at what goes on in schools with the same level of seriousness that we look for in a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, yet the implications can be as serious to our children as medical neglect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chronic bad educational outcomesâ&#x20AC;? (CBEO) is a disease that is in epidemic proportions in America.

The solution here in Federal Way is to insist on informed consent. There are school districts in America that have done this and the results are spectacular.

Remember that our children entering high school are minors and therefore are not legally allowed to make major decisions.

Decisions made by them, without vested adult consultation, can lead to CBEO. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stamp out CBEO in Federal Way by insisting that all parents have full â&#x20AC;&#x153;informed consent.â&#x20AC;?

She believes the council was â&#x20AC;&#x153;listeningâ&#x20AC;? when it stopped the Steel Lake street project and changed the gambling tax to help local business. She opposed the cuts to the Federal Way Police Department proposed by the city manager, and wants to contain city employee health costs. Her Municipal League rating was â&#x20AC;&#x153;outstanding.â&#x20AC;?

Keith Tyler knows he has an uphill battle to defeat Duclos, but he believes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;city needs new ideas.â&#x20AC;? He is a software tester and plans to doorbell 2,000 homes.

He feels the city has not reached out to all its residents for their input and is concerned about the lack of check and balance between the mayor and council.

October 12, 2011 [7] While he supports the proposed performing arts/conference center, he also says â&#x20AC;&#x153;we need a fresh perspective in our land useâ&#x20AC;? and suggests â&#x20AC;&#x153;clustering development in a decentralized manner in the neighborhoodsâ&#x20AC;? to reduce residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; travel and bring services closer to them.

This is Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first run for public office and he, like Flygare, is hoping for a large Democratic turnout. His Municipal League rating was â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate.â&#x20AC;?

All four candidates bring skills and passion, and would contribute to the Federal Way City Council in different ways. Voters, do your homework.

[ GRANTS from page 1] Two projects through Highline Community College also faced uncertainty because of their connection to the South Sound Regional Business Incubator (SSRBI), Enge said. That uncertainty applied to a project being proposed by the SSRBI itself, Enge said Deputy Mayor Dini Duclos asked for clarification of the uncertainty around the SSRBI, which already receives $100,000 a year from the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rule is basically this: if the city has funded the program, then the city basically needs to continue to fund the program and then (Community Development Block Grant) dollars can be used for new programs over and beyond existing services,â&#x20AC;? Enge said.

In order for the business incubator to receive $100,000 in CDBG money, Enge said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we would have to continue to give $100,000 that we had given it in 2011.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my understanding at this time, we have not budgeted that $100,000 in 2012 for the SSRBI. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the uncertainty is.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Skip Priest explained that the continued funding of SSRBI, and therefore any additional funding available through the CERF money, is contingent upon SSRBI developing a detailed plan, which the city had previously requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the current budget, there is not $100,000 currently in the budget for that purpose. There is a small pot of money, approximately $150,000 that may be available for it and other uses. It has been our intention and our understandingâ&#x20AC;Ś there are discussions ongoing in terms of their mission and how they hope

to achieve that mission,â&#x20AC;?

Priest said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before coming to the council, we are working with SSRBI to understand clearly, exactly, what their direction is as well as whether or not the council and the city can provide resources to be utilized in an effective manner.â&#x20AC;?

Enge said the final request came from Dynamic Family Services, which asked for funding to help revitalize a building in Burien. Because the service is not directly located in Federal Way, Enge said, that request failed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;accessibilityâ&#x20AC;? requirement the city used when looking at the proposals.

Because of all this, Enge said the human services department and city staff decided to sit on the money, for the time being, and break it up into a number of categories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The human services commission and staff recommend that CERF funding be allocated in three unique categories,â&#x20AC;? Enge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic development, micro-enterprise technical assistance and housing repair.â&#x20AC;?

The staff recommended $300,000 toward economic development, $100,000 toward micro-enterprise (small business) technical assistance, and $150,000 toward housing repair. That would leave $173,000 of â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncommittedâ&#x20AC;? funds with a purpose yet to be determined, Enge said.

The council voted unanimously to accept the staff recommendation for CERF funding allocation.

Further discussion on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement will take place at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Finance Economic Development Regional Affairs Council (FEDRAC) meeting in the Hylebos Conference Room at City Hall.

40 Years of History Filling a Need

Few human services organizations existed in South King County in the 1960s and early 1970s. Those that did were scattered across a wide geographic area, making it difficult for people in need to access help. Several Federal Way residents created a solution.

Their vision was a kind of onestop umbrella organization that would house multiple services in one place. Fueled by a grant from the Seattle King County Economic Opportunity Board they formed the South King County Multi-Service Center (now called Multi-Service Center), which opened its doors in August 1971 to low-income families.

Multi-Service Center (MSC) was one of many grassroots agencies called Community Action Agencies that arose throughout the country during the decade after President Lynden Johnson declared “War on Poverty.” To this day, Multi-Service Center is one of nearly 1,000 designated Community Action Agencies providing real solutions to poverty at the local level.

With this mission in mind, Multi-Service Center aimed to help people become as selfsufficient as possible, and offered services that met community needs as they arose. In the early days local residents could receive

food stamps, credit counseling, child care, medical and dental services, education, employment security and counseling. Two years later, the agency started a public transportation service for the elderly and disabled (a service which would later be called DialA-Ride).

to offer home energy assistance; helping 232 households that first year keep their heat on in the coldest of months. That same year, MSC also added services to address domestic violence.

When homelessness increased

Establishing Community Presence

In 1979, the Multi-Service Center received a federal contract

in the 1980s, MultiService Center leased motel rooms to offer emergency shelter to families in crisis.

However, it didn’t take long before staff learned that providing only a roof over one’s head was not enough to foster

Multi-Service Center…40th Anniversary independence. Adding case management support and accountability proved to be more successful at building stability. Additionally, the agency continued to develop more “wrap-around services” by adding an adult education component to programming.

Remaining open and flexible to other program opportunities as they presented themselves, the agency was awarded a contract in 1989, to operate the statewide LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program when it was first privatized by the State Legislature. Tasked with ensuring the rights and dignity of elderly and disabled adults living in long-term care facilities across Washington, the program fit snugly within MSC’s mission to empower people, particularly those without resources to act on their behalf. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman program has successfully operated out of MSC since that time.

Late in the decade and into the 1990s, MSC committed more fully to housing individuals and families, first by leasing 15 former military houses in Kent for emergency family shelter, and then by starting a transitional housing program in downtown Kent. The agency also began to lease additional low-income housing units.

In 1994, MSC’s domestic

violence program opened its own shelter and stepped out from under the agency umbrella to form its own independent agency.

Now known as DAWN, it is still a successful program today.

Stabilizing the Agency Leads to More Growth

Financially floundering in 1995, and on the verge of collapse, Multi-Service Center hired a new executive director, Dini Duclos, whose first order of business was to extricate the agency from debt.

Dial-A-Ride, which had grown so popular that demand exceeded funding, was returned to King County Metro (still in service today as Access). Freed from that financial burden, MSC began a capital campaign to purchase and renovate the former Federal Way Elks building. Today, this building serves as Multi-Service Center’s headquarters.

Around this time, increased numbers of people turned to MSC’s Federal Way Food Bank for help to feed their families. Fortunately, the addition of the agency’s new onsite warehouse built a few years earlier allowed storage space for an increased supply of food.

However, it became increasingly apparent that this spike in need revealed a need for additional services, particularly jobs and housing, to stem the growth of poverty.

MSC followed with an adult [ more HISTORY, p. 3 ]

Thank you to Dini and all the people at the Multi-Service Center who have contributed greatly to the well-being of our community over the past 40 years!

job skills and find steady employment. Over the years the agency honed its employment program so that it has become a model replicated by other agencies. Employment assistance now extends to at-risk youth participants as well.

With sustainable housing particularly difficult to find in the late 1990s as Puget Sound real estate prices escalated, Multi-Service Center increased its affordable housing commitment. First, the agency purchased more transitional and permanent housing for individuals and families, and then followed with the

construction of three apartment complexes for seniors of low to moderate incomes.

Now with more than 500 units

of housing in its portfolio, MultiService Center remains a leader in bringing affordable housing options to both South King and Pierce Counties.

Looking Toward the Future With more than 40 years’ experience working with individuals who strive to make lasting change in their lives, MultiService Center continues to offer fresh and innovative resources that help people increase their self-sufficiency and stability.

The more than 200 organizations and businesses that partner and collaborate with MSC not only extend the agency’s reach in the community, but also bolster MSC’s fulltime staff of 75 employees and its cadre of several hundred volunteers. Together, these partnerships allow nearly 60,000 people a year to receive the help they need to build pathways out of poverty.

Today, Multi-Service Center looks to the future from a position of financial health, with a new $3 million program services building in Federal Way, plus additional offices in Kent and Burien. Longtime CEO Dini Duclos retires this year, leaving a fiscally strong agency with a solid reputation for meeting and exceeding outcomes while making a valuable impact on the communities it serves.

Volunteer and Community Support Multi-Service Center could not serve nearly 60,000 people a year without the help and dedication of hundreds of volunteers and the support of countless community members who stage food drives, raise money and donate products and services to help people in need.

Last fiscal year, volunteers donated 81,219 hours to people in need through Multi-Service Center. There are many ways to volunteer at MSC, including helping in the food bank to sort and distribute food.

Haircuts that Help

Yesenia knows what it’s like to not have enough money for necessities like haircuts.

Before she got her current job, she had to use MSC’s Food Bank to help stretch her family’s grocery budget.

When you don’t have a job, paying $15 or more for a haircut is more than you can afford. Now that she has steady work, she gives back to the food bank by cutting hair for parents and children at the food bank once a month.

We put our money where our heart is: the community. ) ) )

Community minded, community made.

We volunteer in the communities we serve.

Our employees are empowered to give back.

Congratulations Multi-Service Center for 40 years of service!

Community Impact 40 Years of Impact…Housing Mitchell Place apartments in Federal Way was MSC’s first senior housing complex constructed for seniors of low to moderate incomes

Homeless family shelter. MSC’s shelter is one of only two area shelters that allow entire families to stay together. Families live here for up to 90 days, and nearly 70-percent of them go on to stable housing.

500 low-income units. With nearly 500 low-income units in the agency’s portfolio and more in development, affordable housing is increasingly more accessible in South King and Pierce Counties.

Affordable senior apartments. Seniors also have affordable options thanks to MSC’s construction of three complexes for older adults with low- to moderate-incomes: Mitchell Place in Federal Way, Radcliffe Place in Kent, and Rainier View in Fife.

Sobriety-supported housing. Drug and alcohol addictions are often a key contributor to homelessness. MSC offers transitional housing specifically geared to help women and men in recovery continue the path of sobriety in supportive community.

A Journey of Good in Four Years For nearly ten years, Stacey lived only to get high.

“I was basically homeless, living wherever I could in some very nasty places, scared and afraid,” she says.

All that began to shift 12 days shy of her 27th birthday when, in a moment of clarity and strength, Stacey decided to get sober. Now, four years clean and sober, gainfully employed and stable in her own apartment, Stacey can’t believe how far she has come. “I’ve done a lot of good in four years,” she says.

Stacey credits her time in MSC’s Titusville program for giving her the strength and confidence to create a more meaningful life.

Multi-Service Center’s Titusville program in Kent is a clean-and-sober, transitional housing for women, who live in communal-style housing while supporting one another in sobriety.

MSC has operated the program since 1991, maintaining a consistent 80-percent rate of success in helping participants maintain longterm sobriety and obtain stable permanent housing.

Stacey is stable and living on her Stacey now works two own after spending two years part-time jobs, one as a in MSC’s Titusville transitional manager of a retail store, housing program and the other as a forensic peer specialist with a counseling agency. In the counseling job she works with clients in the court system, helping people in positions similar to the one she found herself in years ago.

“I love working with people now and giving back in the way I do with my job. I hope to impact lives the way that Multi-Service Center impacted my life,” she says.

40 Years of Impact…Food and Clothing Federal Way Food Bank. MSC opened the first food bank in Federal Way, which now feeds more than 16,000 people annually with more than one-million pounds of food.

Our warehouse also serves as a distribution point for other food banks.

Increased food capacity. Last Volunteers from Shannon & Associates help year’s purchase of staff the food bank line. a large capacity

Multi-Service Center…40th Anniversary More than one-million pounds of food come through MSC’s food bank warehouse and are distributed each year

People in need can get free donated clothing at MSC’s clothing bank freezer allows us full participation in the Grocery Rescue Program giving families improved access to frozen meats and other perishable foods donated by supermarkets.

Free clothing. MSC operates the only clothing bank serving all residents of South King County with free, donated clothing for adults and children.

40 Years of Impact…Energy Assistance Energy bill payment. MSC runs the federal energy assistance program to help residents pay delinquent heating bills. Last year, more than 10,000 households kept their heat on through this program.

PSE partner for local help. In 2002, Multi-Service Center helped Puget Sound Energy develop a local program called “PSE Help” to assist low-income households with their fuel bills to avoid collections.

When people have to choose between heating their home and feeding their families, often the heat is left off [ more COMMUNITY IMPACT, p. 5 ]

40 Years of Impactâ&#x20AC;ŚJobs Jobs for homeless. Multi-Service Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment program pairs homeless adults with training and paid internships to give them current, marketable job skills. For every $1 put into the program, more than $3 is returned to the community after one year in the form of wages and benefits.

Help for at-risk youth.

Last year, in MSC youth At risk youth get training in programs that combine construction trade through an MSC job help with education, partnership with Tacoma Goodwill 90-percent of participants succeeded in getting their lives back on track and reducing recidivism with the criminal justice system.

Partner for more jobs. MSC helped the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce start its Small Business Incubator which creates sustainable businesses and more local jobs.

Since 2010, 23 new businesses have been created.

Boost to local economy. In 2010, thanks to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus dollars, Multi-Service Center created and/or saved 90 local jobs, helping to boost economic stability at a precarious economic time.

Thriving in Self-Reliance Homeless and recovering from a hospitalization, Kelly turned to MultiService Center to get help learning new skills to prepare her for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workforce.

While enrolled in MSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment program, Kelly was placed in a paid internship where she did general office work for a nonprofit agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The job helped me to believe in myself; it gave me confidence,â&#x20AC;? Kelly says.

In the meantime, she flooded the market with her resumes, and finally, her persistence paid off. She was hired to do work that she feels particularly suited for - helping chronically homeless women get back on their feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love

it,â&#x20AC;? she says with a wide smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Multi-Service Center has the philosophy of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;let me help you to help yourself,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that was what I needed,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were patient with me, supportive and encouraging.â&#x20AC;?

40 Years of Impactâ&#x20AC;ŚEducation Individually tailored support. When traditional learning environments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, one-on-one support often does. MSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education programs are tailored to helping students reach their specific goals.

Personalized ESL. Multi-Service Center brought the first non-community-college ESL program to South King County and now offers 11 small-sized classes and one-on-one tutoring to help immigrants strengthen their command of English.

After-school homeless program. At MSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family shelter in Kent, homeless children get a weekly boost with reading, tutoring, and social-skill development in the HEART program, where learning is fun GED classes at MSC are small and and nonthreatening. students get individualized help Latino Night School partner. MSC partnered with Federal Way Schools to create the first program in the area to help immigrant parents learn English as it relates to school policies, parent teacher conferences and school jargon. Latino Night School was named a â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practiceâ&#x20AC;? in 2009 by regional Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESOL).

How Multi-Service Center Helps Finally, a Graduate When Jackie didn’t have enough credits to graduate with her high school class, she had always expected to go back and finish school.

It was nearly 30 years later when she decided the time was right to finally get her GED. “I felt horrible about not getting by diploma. Even though I’ve always had jobs along the way, I wasn’t always truthful about my lack of diploma,” Jackie says, “But I decided it was time to finally be truthful to myself.”

At age 44, Jackie enrolled in Multi-Service Center’s GED program. She felt daunted by learning to study again, but her MSC tutors encouraged her to look at one exam at a time and to focus on taking small steps forward. When life got in the way of her studies, Jackie kept to what she called her “study and steady process”. Finally, two years after she started, Jackie passed all five tests and earned her GED. “It was hard, really it was. But I had to accomplish this for myself,” she says.

Now, her 26-year-old daughter is following in Jackie’s footsteps, working on her own GED at Multi-Service Center. Jackie has hopes that all five of her children will graduate and go to college. She has proven to them that, despite great odds, educational success is possible.

MSC’s Education program offers individualized tutoring to help each student learn at their own pace and to reach their specific goals. Currently, 134 people are enrolled in Multi-Service Center’s GED program.

Making Sense of Finances

Nicole was thrilled when she found a new job, hoping she could finally support her children and get ahead. But she quickly learned the money she made wasn’t enough.

“My money is gone before I know it,” she says. “People tell me I need to do a budget, but

Multi-Service Center…40th Anniversary

I don’t make enough money for that. I barely make enough to meet all my expenses.”

Georgene Miller, a Multi-Service Center staffer who leads financial management classes for MSC, has heard comments like Nicole’s many times before. “I tell people that budgeting is about getting in control of your money and seeing what your life requires. The reality is that when people take a look at their finances, they see where the money is going,” Miller says.

Miller leads financial management classes for Multi-Service Center clients, and offers one-on-one support for those who need individualized help. Her program, Show Me the Money, helps clients get educated about money, credit, taxes and more.

A key component of the program is tracking expenses. “I ask people to keep track in a little notebook every penny they spend. It’s a very eye-opening experience,” Miller says. “Then we talk about goals and create action plans for them to reach those goals.”

Many of the people she works with don’t have an adequate amount of money for everything in their lives.

“Your finances may all be in red, but once you see it, you can begin to make decisions about what needs changed and what doesn’t,” Miller says. “It’s so they won’t wait until the power is shut off before they ask for help. If you keep a budget, you’ll know before then that you need to do something proactive to keep the power on. Awareness is powerful.”

Advocating for Elderly

Dorothy, age 85, believed she was coming to Washington to help her daughter recover from surgery. Once here, however, she quickly discovered that her daughter had other plans – admitting her mother into an assisted living facility because of Dorothy’s early stage Alzheimer’s. Shocked and betrayed, Dorothy called her son to intervene. A family tug-of-war over Dorothy ensued, prompting assisted living facility administrators to ask a certified ombudsman with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program to mediate.

“The children really did have their mother’s best interests at heart. It was a conflict of security versus dignity,” says Dorothy’s ombudsman. “Dorothy really needed to feel empowered about making the decision of where she lived.”

In the end, Dorothy was allowed to return home, and her son arranged for in-home health care.

Through the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program operated by Multi-Service Center, cases like Dorothy’s are handled by hundreds of volunteers across the state. These volunteers are trained and certified to help elderly and disabled residents of long-term care facilities understand their rights to live with dignity.

Last fiscal year, our ombudsmen helped 3,488 people resolve complaints. 80% of those complaints were resolved without the need for litigation.

Advocating for Critical Services After he had a stroke, Quincy, who lives in an assisted living facility, relied on adult day health services to manage his nursing and therapy needs during his recovery. At the same time, the state legislature decided they would not pay for adult day health services, and Quincyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care was terminated.

MSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program stepped in and prevailed in a class-action lawsuit. Services were restored not only for Quincy, but 900 other elderly and disabled adults who need vital services.

TJ pays homage to Peace One Day

BY CASEY YAMASAKI Thomas Jefferson High School student

In September 1999, Jeremy Gilley founded the film project Peace One Day to document his efforts in creating an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence with a fixed calendar date â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sept. 21. Through years of hard work, Gilley and ambassador Jude Law traveled to Afghanistan to lead a campaign that has resulted in 4.5 million children being vaccinated against polio in formerly inaccessible areas.

This movement inspired the International Baccalaureate students of Thomas Jefferson High School. On Sept. 21, the school celebrated with peaceful sayings chalked on the halls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;free hugâ&#x20AC;? signs traveling from student to student, white ribbons rewarding those who pledged to be

active on Peace One Day (and received over 1,000 signatures), and an evening potluck. Last year the event didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to extend past the IB seniors, but this year the students were adamant in involving the whole school. The main student crew included Ashley Park, Dasom Kim, Bailey Bonaci, Ryan Lee, Brendon Siow, Leslie Ojeaburu, Yunah Kang and Casey Yamasaki with guidance from the IB advisor, Carol Lee, and the Theory of Knowledge Teacher, Gretchen Mahon.

With a lot of help from other students, this team pulled of TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest Peace One Day. Payton Dzurcanin and Morgan Folsom also designed Peace One Day shirts while most of the school wore white to symbolize peace.

The following Saturday, students also participated in [ more PEACE page 10 ]

Thompson, cont.: from fire and providing emergency medical services to its constituents. Fire districts do not have to share their dollars with maintaining parks, roads and other public works projects, police services and city government functions. The fire districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only focus is to provide quality fire and emergency services based on a strategic plan, not based on how much money can be scratched out of the city budget and have to fight with other competing city fiscal requests and constraints. If the fire department was a city department, the funding, staffing and response times would be compromised to the bare minimum required, and funding for those minimal services would be mixed in with funding for parks, public works and police services and other city government functions.

Such action would put citizens and local business properties in jeopardy during an incident. Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives would be greatly affected due to minimal service levels that would be provided. Firefighter safety would be compromised due to minimal staffing and longer response times. t +BNFT 'PTTPT QPTJUJPO The main reason that the fire district should not be incorporated into Federal Way is that South King Fire and Rescue actually serves two cities, Federal Way and Des Moines, as well as a portion of unincorporated King County. Federal Way makes up approximately 60 percent of SKFR. Both Federal Way and Des Moines annexed into the fire district many years ago, as the citizens determined that a standalone fire district would provide a high level of

the time to actually think about how important it is to have peace in our daily lives and the positivism that comes along with it.â&#x20AC;?

The IB seniors of 2012 hope to have set a precedent for the rest of the students and involve more schools in the future.

service with fire commissioners elected to oversee fire and emergency services alone, not the myriad other departments and functions contained within each of the two cities. Further, the cities annexing into the fire district provided them with an increased levy capacity, and allowed them to receive fire department services without having to find ways to fund them. The relationship between South King Fire and Rescue and both cities we serve has been extremely supportive, and has worked for many years. The proposition of a city wanting to take this responsibility back on in this time of declining revenues simply makes no sense whatsoever. t +FSSZ (BMMBOE QPTJUJPO No. For the past 60 years the district carefully formed what we have today.

Consideration was given to best serve the community with the best use of taxpayer resources and the overall geography of the region served. Separation would put undue burdens on residents in Des Moines and the unincorporated areas presently served, forcing them to incur additional administrative costs. Shedding areas not currently inside one city limits to neighboring districts would unduly create geographic obstacles and service time difficulties. Division would require interlocal agreements and the new department would still be first to respond. Look at the proximity of Station 65 to the city of Auburn for example. There would be no realistic reduction in administrative staff for duplicity, the stations are well situated and the community is better served by keeping this district separate from the city. Elect Jerry to continue protecting your investment in fire district services.

Eighth-ranked Federal Way scores two defensive TDs and two safeties in 45-0 win; TJ upends ARiverside

BY CASEY OLSON

sports@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way High School defense is obviously the strength of the unbeaten and eighth-ranked Class 4A team in the state of Washington. The Eagles (6-0) showed off that impressive unit Oct. 7 inside Federal Way Memorial Stadium, shutting out cross-town rival Beamer, 45-0.

The stifling Federal Way defense ran back an interception and fumble for touchdowns and also collected a pair of safeties during the first half Friday night against the Titans (1-5).

Senior D’Londo Tucker got the scoring going by returning an interception 35 yards to give Federal Way a quick 7-0 lead. Tucker followed by catching a 23yard touchdown pass from Evan Elliot, and the Eagles added their first safety later in the first quarter to lead 15-0.

The second quarter started with Federal Way’s second safety of the game. Elliot followed with his second touchdown pass of the game, this one a 27-yarder to Mike Tate. Marcel Morris then added a 32-yard TD catch on a pass from Tucker and senior Albert Havili ended the firsthalf onslaught with a 20-yard fumble return to give the Eagles a commanding 38-0 halftime lead.

The only points of the second half came on a 7-yard touchdown run by Federal Way’s Rod Jones in the third quarter.

The Eagles will attempt to remain unbeaten in the SPSL South with a tough road test against the 4-2 Rogers Rams Thursday night at Sparks Stadium.

Jefferson 22, Auburn Riverside 12 — The Raiders (4-2) jumped out to an early 15-0 lead Thursday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium and hung on late in a key SPSL North matchup against the Ravens.

Federal Way junior wide receiver Marcel Morris runs the ball while freshman Chico McClather blocks a Todd Beamer defender during the Eagles’ 45-0 win Friday at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Morris finished with a touchdown catch. GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror The victory keeps the Raiders in second place in the SPSL North with two league games to play.

Jefferson’s quarterback KW Williams drew first blood in the contest, breaking off a 45-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Williams followed up the TD with a twopoint conversion pass to Tim Luafatasaga to KW Williams take an 8-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Williams, who finished the game with 21 carries for 164 yards on the ground and 5-of-13 passing for 48 yards in the air, found Rith Lagisetti from 10 yards out to put Jefferson up 15-0 at the half. [ more FOOTBALL page 14 ]
