Standards Based Education (SBE) and the attached grading methodology, continues to be a hot topic in Federal Way schools.

The new system was implemented by Federal Way Public Schools this year.

SBE is aimed at creating standardization for teachers and students regarding grading, class content and other important areas.

During the Nov. 22 school board meeting, board members and Superintendent Rob Neu once again heard from a number of staff from throughout the district, with the staff detailing the issues and

problems they continue to encounter with SBE and its grading system.

However, a few voices in support of SBE were heard, with two principals from the district giving their full support to the idea.

Marin Miller, principal at Twin Lakes Elementary, said he feels SBE is working, even if it’s been a painful process so far.

“Over the last year, I’ve seen a lot of good things,” Miller said. “Change is hard. And it truly is. But, ultimately, when I look at this system, I ask myself, ‘Are we moving in the right direction? Are we doing what’s best for kids?’ And [ more STANDARDS, page 13 ]

UPDATE

Two levy proposals set for Feb. ballot

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way Public Schools will ask voters to approve a $60 million construction levy in February in order to rebuild Federal Way High School (FWHS).

The district has begun the first conversations around what the new high school should be like.

Facility services director Rod Leland shared that he and staff, along with a bevy of architects, sat down with FWHS students Oct. 31 and

Nov. 2 to hear their desires and vision for the new school. Leland shared what he heard with the school board during its Nov. 22 meeting. He related his own history in building large scale projects.

“In my career, I’ve had a lot of different jobs. For a while, I built boats. For a while, I built houses.

For a while, I helped build and design airplanes,” he said. “And here, I help get schools built. And I realized out of all those, is that they all had a vision.”

Establishing a vision for a new FWHS, Leland said, was begun with two eight-hour sessions on the

aforementioned dates.

Leland talked with students from the science club, ROTC, cheer team, wrestling team, Pacific Islander dance club, AP art students, the jazz band and [ more SCHOOLS, page 9 ]

Couple spreads positive message of protection

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

“Lord, send guardian angels around them, and place a hedge of protection over them today.”

Fifteen simple words — but fifteen words that a local couple, Mike and Carol Garcia, hope will be used to protect law enforcement officers, firefighters and members of the military.

The duo hopes to distribute small cards with the above prayer (or a positive affirmation for people who don’t pray) to local churches and groups. It’s an attempt to help create positive energy for those who put their lives on the line every day. Called “Voice of the City: Enough is Enough,” both Garcias hope to see their idea become something positive in the world, especially when it seems like there’s so much negativity.

Mike Garcia said the idea came to him after a number of police officer deaths in the Puget Sound area, most notably the four Lakewood officers who were killed

in 2009, and other officers who gave their lives in the line of duty.

“I was watching TV when the news came on and they announced another police officer had died,” Garcia said. “I said, ‘Wow, that’s sad,’ and then my spirit jumped inside of me, and I was surprised, and it said, ‘Enough is enough.’ I was surprised, I said, ‘I agree with that, but what can I do, I work at Boeing.’”

Garcia said he really took that moment of self-reflection to heart, and decided that his prayer/affirmation cards were the solution. He explained his reasoning behind the cards and wanting to give people an avenue for saying a prayer or a message of support.

“When you and I drive down the street, and we see a police officer pass us, we say, ‘OK, speed is good, seatbelt is on, phone is down.’ We’re good.

They pass us, we don’t say anything negative, but we don’t say anything positive either,” he said. “All of us citizens, we do what we do, we pay our taxes and think

The cards distributed by the Garcias include images of police officers and this prayer: “Lord, send guardian angels around them, and place a hedge of protection over them today.” that’s enough. I want to go one step further, and that is, when we see that police officer…I want to do step four, which is to say, ‘Lord, just put a hedge of protection on him, protect him for this day.’”

Garcia says he believes the police, firefighters and military all could use more positive energy directed their way in today’s world — especially the police.

“We know, if they drive in different directions in town, people want to harm them (the police), they

want to kill them, throw rocks at them, they want to shoot them,” Garcia said.

“They even have music to back up their belief system…Everyone always says positive words are good, so if positive words are good, then negative words are working as well, so we have to overcome the negative words.”

The hope is for this idea to become viral, with it spreading from here in Washington across the country to Washington, D.C., Garcia said.

“The governor can’t do anymore, the Legislature can’t do anymore, the police officers can’t really do anymore, so I decided, enough is enough,” he added.

FWPD and Grace Church will also partner with Federal Way Public Schools for 2011’s Adopt-a-Family program, with the district providing information on local families in need.

Grace Church will hold a holiday meal for 30 families from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 16 at Adelaide Elementary. The meal will include family activities, entertainment, presents and stockings for the children. Each family will also receive a Christmas ham for their own family meals.

The public can donate new unwrapped toys or food items to Grace Church, 1232 SW Dash Point Road, or at the police headquarters located in City Hall.

The suspect left through a back window and was on foot, according to the report. While searching an adjacent greenbelt, an officer was confronted by the 33-year-old male suspect.

It’s an honor: New councilman Celski thanks the voters I am humbled to be elected to the Federal Way City Council, and honored to represent the citizens of our fine city on the council.

You, the citizens, have entrusted me to help our city continue to move in the right direction, and I take this responsibility seriously.

I thank you for your confidence in me. I promise to be a good steward of our resources. I will devote my time and energy to

Let’s talk turkey in Federal Way Editor: Welcome back to the show. Our special guest is Tom, a local turkey. Thank you for joining us during this holiday weekend to discuss life in Federal Way. Turkey: No problem. I feel lucky just to be here. As you know, Thanksgiving isn’t a safe time to be a turkey.

Editor: There is a movement brewing in Federal Way to build a monument for U.S. veterans. What do you think?

Turkey: The U.S. military is important to me, even more so after my father made the ultimate sacrifice this year in Iraq.

Editor: Did he die in battle?

Turkey: No. He was this year’s Thanksgiving dinner for a squadron of Marines. But my father wanted to give those overseas troops some of the comforts from home because they are so far away from their families. As Americans, we have a moral duty to support the military and those who put themselves in harm’s way. It is refreshing to hear that several Federal Way citizens support a veterans monument. The city already hosts an annual Veterans Day observance.

A monument would be the cherry on top.

Editor: I was talking with State Rep. Katrina Asay, who formerly served as mayor of Milton.

She said Milton residents got their veterans monument built after about a year of regular meetings and fundraising. Have you seen it?

Turkey: Yes, it’s impressive. I hear citizens can purchase engraved bricks for it.

Editor: Asay said volunteers maintain the site, and there’s almost always someone at the memorial at any given time.

Turkey: What did it cost?

Editor: Including all the in-kind donations,

the cost was around $250,000.

Turkey: Gobble gobble! That’s a lot of cabbage. Regardless of what Federal Way pursues, the city needs a bold monument, whatever it takes.

Editor: Absolutely. Refill your wine?

Turkey: Thank you. Cheers! Why are you always writing about a veterans monument in Federal Way? Editor: Such a monument will add cultural value to the area and become a point of pride. Plus, I believe in the power that comes from creating something new.

The more we do that for Federal Way, the better.

Turkey: This won’t be a financial savior.

Editor: I know. But it gives visitors one more reason to spend their money at downtown restaurants and businesses.

Turkey: With that in mind, maybe you should start writing about how the city needs a big electronic billboard on 320th Street near I-5 to announce local events and news.

Editor: Good idea. More wine?

Turkey: Sure, fill ‘er up! If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to get me drunk. By the way, something in the kitchen sure smells good. What’s cooking?

Editor: We’ve got mashed potatoes and gravy, sourdough bread stuffing, Grandma’s famous green bean casserole, deviled eggs, sweet potatoes, cranberry dressing and pecan pie. Only thing missing is the main dish.

Turkey: (gulps) What’s the main dish?

Editor: Follow me into the kitchen and I’ll show you...

BOARD

GUEST

If you haven’t started your holiday shopping, you might want to hold on to your wallet.

Gov. Chris Gregoire wants the state to dig deeper into your pocket to help bail out the state budget. Gregoire’s plan is two-fold: 1. Boost the sales tax by a half-cent, and 2. Have it “sunset” in three years.

We have two concerns with that: 1. It’s another half-cent tax on what already is nearly (.095) a 10 percent tax on just about every dollar you spend, and 2. Does anyone really expect that a tax, once in place, will ever go away?

Gregoire says her new tax would bring in close to $500 million annually and be largely used to help fund education. Before you applaud, recall that this is the same person who just recently proposed cutting your kid’s school year by four days.

Apparently schools — and our kids’ education — are only important if we pay more for them.

Gregoire, of course, knows the fallacy in this.

The state constitution says clearly that education is the paramount duty of the state. It doesn’t say anything about having to raise taxes to do this.

The state may or may not need an extra $500 million, but schools aren’t the place you cut when money is tight.

That’s the same problem with her earlier plan to cut the school year by four days. Doing so would save the state $99 million in the 2012-13 school year by not having to pay teachers for those four days. But that means that our kids get cheated out of four days of instruction. Does anyone really think our kids can get by with less education?

The state faces some tough financial questions.

Legislators are due back in Olympia on Monday to deal with a $2 billion hole in the state’s budget.

But that doesn’t mean that higher taxes are — or ought to be — the first choice for a solution.

After all, it’s not as if taxpayers’ money is burning a hole in their pockets. Quite the opposite.

Consumer prices in the Seattle area have risen 3.8 percent over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, take-home pay has gone up 1.7 percent. Do the math and you’ll see we’re falling behind.

Drive to work? You’re even worse off. The price of gasoline in the Seattle area is up 26 percent since last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And that means energy prices are up 16.5 percent. There are more — lots more — things that cost more today than they did since October 2010.

We’re not saying the task facing the Legislature is an easy one. Far from it. But higher taxes should only be considered as a last resort.

The state isn’t there yet.

this position, and of course, will continue listening to you.

There are many people I would like to thank for the time and effort put forth on my campaign.

First and foremost, my wife, Sue. Many of you saw her on the busy corners leading the sign-waving charge, waving her sign, her pompom (just as she did years ago as a Federal Way High School head cheerleader), and yelling with excitement at every honk and wave

from passers-by. Her core team of sign-wavers, Nancy Combs and Elaine Bergstrom were there too, rain or shine, working hard to get our name out there. Martin Moore is a professional advisor with whom I spent many hours — including late hours — figuring out our next move. Judith Madden Magruder did a great job leading the letter-writing campaign.

Jack Dovey has graciously served our community with dignity, foresight and professionalism. I have known Jack for many years, and respect him for what he

has done for us all. I consider Jack a friend, and thank him for running a campaign that was above board and fair. For some reason, I don’t think Jack is done serving the public in one way or another.

I congratulate Jim Ferrell and Dini Duclos for re-election to the council, and Susan Honda for her first-time election.

Lastly, I look forward to working with Mayor Skip Priest and all city council members on behalf of our well-deserving citizens.

No more rhetoric for education It may have been due to the freezing cold rain, but I was sorely disappointed by the Federal Way Public Schools education rally, “No More Cuts,” Nov. 22 at Federal Way High School.

One by one, community leaders gave rousing speeches about the importance of education while the crowd cheered.

Ignoring the foolishness of meeting outside in the rain instead of inside the empty high school, I was shocked that not one of our community leaders offered a single solution to the budget crisis. Mayor Skip Priest rallied the crowd, but he didn’t offer to exempt the district from city taxes. Sen. Tracey Eide spoke to the importance of education, but she didn’t offer another area of the state budget that should be cut to spare schools. Superintendent Rob Neu, School Board President Tony Moore and local teachers all got the crowd cheering, but not one of them offered to have the park near their homes closed, or police cut from their neighborhoods, or their taxes be raised in order to save school funding.

While I respect each of these community leaders, I kindly request that they replace their slogan of “No More Cuts” with “No More Rhetoric.” Our schools, city, state and nation need viable solutions, not campaign speeches. When you are ready to find solutions, please give me a call.

said that he had harmed his Democratic Party for at least two decades. The legislation was passed by Northern Republicans and Northern Democrats. Seeing an opening to gain the South, Nixon and the GOP quickly put their “Southern strategy” into place. After securing his party’s nomi-

nation for the presidency, Ronald Reagan made his first campaign stop in Philadelphia, Miss., where three civil rights volunteers had been brutally lynched and stated “I believe in states’ rights.” (wink, wink).

Once in office, Reagan spoke of Cadillac-driving welfare queens and his

followers knew who and what he meant. Trent Lott, Richard Shelby and a host of Southerners soon fled to the GOP and the South has been a racist stronghold for the GOP ever since.

Since the GOP consistently votes against minorities and the middle class, only a handful of blacks be-

long to the party. When Republican commentator Ann Coulter recently said “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” she must have been referring to Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, J.C. Watts, Allen West, Ken Blackwell, and ... ? In the Democratic Party, the aforementioned

would be lost in the shuffle of a vast pool of minority talent. Within the GOP, they have been rewarded handsomely.

In closing I ask, what piece of legislation have conservatives passed that benefits the middle class?

Name one if you can.

A Federal Way resident contends that it is hard being a black conservative.

Actually, it is very lucrative for the small number of profiteers who choose that position while it is deleterious to their race.

There was a time when many blacks voted Republican. In fact, when I arrived in Federal Way in 1975, I was a “Rockefeller Republican” who worked for and voted for a number of Republicans. Dan Evans, Slade Gorton, Ralph Munro and Sam Reed remain among my favorite Washington state public servants.

But at the national level, something ominous happened in 1964-65.

BY GREG ALLMAIN

Federal Way had initially planned what’s known as a “Michigan left� or a “median U-turn� at the intersection of SW 336th Street and 21st Avenue SW, However, the city revised its plans after an extensive study of the intersection.

Instead, the city will proceed with a traditional widening of the intersection, after the council gave the go-ahead Nov. 15 for the widening plan.

Rick Perez, city traffic engineer, gave a presentation to the council on the approximately $5 million project. Perez said the traditional widening, median U-turn, a roundabout and a hybrid alternative were all examined before the city staff settled on the traditional widening method.

For the median U-turn method, Perez said the extended study discovered that right-of-way issues would arise from the project, and accordingly, so would the cost.

A significant issue would have been access to local businesses if the median Uturn project had been given the go-ahead. “In order to make that work, you would be eliminating all left turn access between the intersection of 21st and 336th and the Uturn locations,� Perez said. “This impacts the shopping center on the southwest corner of the intersection, which is the one that has Safeway and Rite Aid and Chase Bank among others. Roughly a third of the

volume that comes into that shopping center, comes in through that left turn movement.�

Perez said the three lane roundabout alternative had some positives, namely increasing safety with minimal impact to local business access. The alternative also would shorten traffic delays for drivers.

Perez said the roundabout required a significant rightof-way purchasing element, increasing the cost to the city and throwing a snarl into the established business that would have to give up buildings and property. “The right-of-way impacts were very significant.

It would require buying the buildings at Bank of America, Chase Bank and Taco Bell,� he said.

The traditional widening project still improved safety and capacity at the intersection, Perez said.

That’s something the state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) needed to see — in order for the TIB to fund $3.4 million of the $5 million project.

Councilman Jim Ferrell was pleased with the work of Perez and city staff, and said this was an example of government working well. “We had a really good idea, creatively, that was being used elsewhere, but then we applied it to our scenario‌I’m glad to see we moved in this direction,â€?

Ferrell said.

Councilman Jack Dovey said the original intent of significantly improving safety at the intersection was being betrayed by cost considerations and inconvenience to businesses. “It almost seems like we’re stepping back,� Dovey said. “You came to us with this great way to make it really safe, and now you’re coming back to make it somewhat safe, and now we’re changing it.�

Mayor Skip Priest said if access is cut off to the businesses affected by the projects, then safety would also increase. “One point is, if nobody’s going to the businesses, it’s a lot safer,� he said. “It’s the staff ’s responsibility to balance the priorities, which I think they’ve done.�

FWHS wrestlers shared their thoughts on the importance of wrestling and the discipline it instills in students, and shared how they need more space for their team.

The district’s facilities services director noted that these two days of conversations didn’t result in concrete results, but that they were a starting point for the

district as it moves forward on trying to replace the aging school.

“Did we design a Federal Way High School? No. Did we design a floor plan? No. Did we have lots of discussion about what kinds of spaces will be important in a school for the next 50 years? Yes. Did we have an understanding we can carry forward as we go out in the community, as we go deeper in the school, as we search further for answers about what a school building should look like? Yes.”

Levy proposals Federal Way Public Schools will put two ballot propositions before the voters on Feb. 14, 2012.

The first, known as the

Education Programs and Operations (EPO) levy, is a continuation of a current levy Federal Way taxpayers approved three years ago, but is set expire in 2012.

The second will be a capital levy to help with the renovation/rebuilding of Federal Way High School.

For the EPO levy, the district seeks a two-year levy that asks for somewhere between $45 million and $53 million. That number depends on the outcome of a special session in the state Legislature, and whether the state cuts Federal Way’s share of $7.7 million in Local Effort Assistance (LEA).

For the capital levy, the district plans to ask for $60 million over six years. This levy’s primary purpose is

to rebuild the aging Federal Way High School. The district has already saved $50 million for this project.

“We get to pay as we go, rather than borrowing,” said Sally McLean, assistant superintendent for business services. “Because with a bond, we sell those bonds, but we’re borrowing money.

Overall, doing a capital levy will be less costly to taxpayers because there will be no interest payments involved.”

The district anticipates the tax rate for the EPO levy would be $3.50, while the anticipated tax rate for the capital levy would be 85 cents.

The Feb. 14 special election for both levy proposals will cost the school district about $200,000, according

The special election is necessary because teachers must be notified by May 15 if they will have a contract for the next school year, and teachers’ salaries are wrapped up in the EPO levy, according to

the district. If Federal Way voters reject either levy, the district can present the proposals to voters on one more ballot in 2012, likely in April. Both proposals need a simple majority (50 percent plus one) to pass.

SENIOR LIFESTYLES ...

Resistance Turns to Success at Garden Terrace “I was pushed to my limit.” That was Margaret Long’s thoughts while participating in 3 months of physical and occupational therapy at Garden Terrace of Federal Way. Following recent corrective surgery on her left foot, and given her complex medical history, Margaret knew her recovery hinged on a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program. While waiting for her left foot to heal enough to bear weight, the therapist and the prosthetist were able to correct Margaret’s ill-fitting prosthesis for a previous below the knee amputation on her right leg.

Now, instead of always using a power wheelchair, Margaret is able to walk short distances with the aid of a walker.

Turns out, the limits Margaret was pushed resulted in her much desired 15 pound weight loss and passing a home physical safety evaluation, which gave her the green light to return home.

Currently Garden Terrace has multiple physicians who manage the patient’s medical care. Beginning December 1st, Dr. Harpreet Kaur will provide full-time-on-site physician services at Garden Terrace.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ ALL-CITY GIRLS SOCCER from page 10] During her career, Dahl scored a grand total of 63 goals for Jefferson, including nine as a freshman and six as a sophomore.

Dahl is also very accomplished in track and field. As a sophomore and junior, she qualified for the state meet in multiple individual events.

JENNY HOEFEL, BEAMER

The junior burst onto the scene this season for the SPSL South Division champion Titans. She led Beamer in scoring and was named the Most Valuable Player in the SPSL South.

Hoefel finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists for the Titans. She had seven multi-goal games and seemed to get better as the season progressed. In Beamer’s first-round state tournament win over Issaquah, Hoefel finished with a pair of goals. She also had multiple goals in fourstraight matches in the middle of the season for the Titans.

Hoefel should be one of the top recruits in the area during her senior season.

GABRIELA PELOGI, FEDERAL WAY

The freshman led the Eagles in scoring this season with seven goals. Pelogi also contributed two assists, which both came in the same match. She had one multigoal game, when she tallied two during a 5-0 win over Bethel on Sept. 27.

Pelogi also scored at least one goal in four of the Eagles’ five victories during the SPSL South regular season. She was a firstteam, All-SPSL South selection by the league’s coaches.

BREANNA STRAUS, BEAMER

The Beamer senior had another strong season for the Titans in leading the team to another SPSL South championship. Straus finished with seven goals and five assists for the Titans. The forward scored in six different games for Beamer, including two goals and two assists in a win over Spanaway Lake on Sept. 29. Straus also scored two goals during the Titans’ postseason run.

ASHLEY GRAVES, DECATUR

The senior forward was the

Gators’ offensive stalwart during the entire season. Graves tallied 13 of Decatur’s 24 goals and led the Gators into the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs after finishing just 6-4-0 in the SPSL 3A Division.

Graves had four multi-goal games, including a hat trick during a 4-0 win over Timberline on Sept. 15. She also had two goals during a 3-2 win over Capital in a state-clinching, West Central District game.

Defense KASSANDRA CARREL, JEFFERSON

Midfield LINDSEY RICHOU, BEAMER

The senior was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection after another impressive season for the Titans. The defensive midfielder finished the year with two goals and four assists, but was vital in the holding role for Beamer. All of Richou’s points this season came during Titan victories.

JASMINE BRILLIANTE, BEAMER

Another senior on head coach Joel Lindberg’s roster was the leader of the Titans’ ultra-talented midfield. Brilliante was a firstteam, All-SPSL South selection by the league’s coaches after finishing second to Hoefel in scoring for the Titans. Brilliante tallied 11 goals and had two assists.

She had a hat trick during a 7-0 win over Bethel on Sept. 20 and also had two other games with at least two goals.

JENNA FLOYD, BEAMER

The junior was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection after finishing with five goals and five assists for Beamer. Floyd’s best offensive game came during a lateseason, 4-0 win over Spanaway Lake. Floyd finished with two goals. She also had the only assist during a 1-0 win over Emerald Ridge on Sept. 15 and an assist in the Titans’ opening-round win over Issaquah at the state tournament.

ABBY MCFAUL, DECATUR

The Decatur senior was a huge factor in leading the Gators into the Class 3A state tournament for the second year in a row. McFaul

The senior defender had another solid season for the Raiders.

Carrel was a second-team, AllSPSL North selection and finished with two goals and five assists.

Both of Carrel’s goals came during a 7-0 win over Kent-Meridian on Oct. 20. She also had an assist in TJ’s 4-3 loss to Bellarmine Prep at the West Central District Tournament.

SYDNEY ROGALLA, BEAMER

The senior was the definition of a defender for the Titans this season. Rogalla didn’t tally a single goal or assist during the year, but was responsible for holding opponents’ offense in check.

During their unbeaten regular season in the SPSL South, Beamer’s defense allowed only eight goals in 16 matches and Rogalla was a huge part of that.

She was a first-team, All-SPSL South selection.

MAGGIE HALE, DECATUR

The sophomore was the key defender for the Gators all season long, according to head coach Christy Overby. Decatur finished the year with six shutouts and Hale was a big part of that defensive success.

MEGAN ANDERSON, BEAMER

The sophomore was more of an attacking defender for the Beamer Titans. The sophomore was third on the team in points with seven goals and five assists despite playing in the back. Anderson had a pair of multi-goal games, including two goals during a 4-0 win over Graham-Kapowsin on Oct. 11. She was a second-team, All-SPSL South selection as a

Goalkeepers MEGHAN GRAF, BEAMER

The senior was a brick wall in the back of the Todd Beamer defense. Graf, also a star basketball player for the Titans, pitched a total of 12 shutouts during the year, including 11 during the 16-game SPSL South regular season. Graf

ERICKA BUDINICH, DECATUR

The sophomore was a key to the Gators making a late-season run into the state tournament.

After finishing in fourth place in the six-team SPSL 3A Division, Decatur won three-straight loserout matches to advance into the opening round of the Class 3A state tournament.

Budinich helped the Gators beat Kennedy Catholic and Capital in back-to-back games, allowing only three goals to the powerhouses. The two teams combined to score nine goals during early-season wins over Decatur.

Neagle had a breakout rookie season with Sounders FC. Neagle, a winger, finished third on the Sounders with seven goals, including the only hat trick in club history against the Columbus Crew. “Given the fact we’ve lost three players to expansion drafts the past two seasons we are bracing ourselves for the possibility of losing someone,� said Sounders FC general manager Adrian Hanauer. “Despite those losses we have developed a deep squad and grown stronger. We couldn’t protect everyone, so some of those who contributed significantly to our success are bound to be exposed.�

Each current MLS club has had the opportunity to protect 11 players from their 2011 roster.

Generation adidas players (who did not graduate at the end of the 2011 season) and Homegrown players are automatically protected and do not count against a team’s 11 protected roster spots.
