Reach Out prepares women’s shelter

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

A local charity that helps homeless men every winter is about to open the region’s first winter shelter for women.

Program coordinator Nancy Jaenicke said Reach Out Federal

Way hopes to have the women’s shelter program up and running before the end of the month, or early next year. Reach Out’s information coordinator, Laurie Fiorito, said the women’s shelter program should be operational sometime between Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.

According to Jaenicke, another

homeless shelter was recently shut down in Seattle, and the only other shelter available to women has a strict timeline of being open for 90 days. That shelter, she said, houses nine women as well, and on average, turns away about 40 other women a month from its doors.

She said this highlights the need

for more programs, a need Reach Out is hoping to fill.

The Federal Way City Council makes an effort each month to honor a local volunteer group, and bestowed December’s recognition on Reach Out Federal Way. Jaenicke was on hand to give [ more SHELTER, page 10 ]

Christmas House: 27 years and counting Effort collected gifts for 2,287 children last year

BY TRICIA SCHUG Special to The Mirror

Rose Ratteray knows that there are plenty of Federal Way parents who struggle to provide gifts for their children during the holidays.

That is why she is doing what she can to help them.

Ratteray is one of dozens of volunteers who staff The Giving Tree, the gift donation arm of Christmas House, a communitywide program pairing needy Federal Way children with donated gifts.

“I know there are families out there who are really suffering, people who because of low wages cannot make it out of poverty without some help,” Ratteray said.

“As blessed as I am, I feel it would be meaningless if I did not give back.”

Each day until Dec. 18, shoppers at The Commons Mall can stop

by The Giving Tree located in the center aisle of the mall near Target.

Volunteers Rose Ratteray and Billie Paddock help an interested shopper at The Giving Tree in The Commons Mall.

Shoppers select tags with gift ideas, purchase them and donate to local children in need. Mall shoppers choose a tag with a specific gift suggestion, buy the gift, then donate to Christmas House for local children in need. PHOTO COURTESY OF TRICIA SCHUG, Multi-Service Center Shoppers can select a gift tag with a suggested item, purchase the gift and donate it to the Christmas House program. These gifts, along with gently used items that have been collected all year, will be the “store” that makes up Christmas House, held in the gymnasium of Steel Lake Presbyterian Church.

Parents are screened for need [ more CHRISTMAS, page 20 ]

Ten teachers at Mirror Lake Elementary are now officially National Board Certified teachers, adding to the Federal Way school’s established group of NBCTs. According to the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), about 40 percent of Mirror Lake’s teachers have attained the demanding professional standard of national board certification.

The teachers to join the ranks of NBCTs are Melinda Jenkins, Marilyn Anderson, Benita Slaeker, Linda Craft, Hayley Mathis, Patti Clemons, Christie Galinat, Jill Phillips, Kate Kuper and Carrie Hendrickson.

Mirror Lake principal Maggie O’Sullivan said a teamwork-oriented attitude helps Mirror Lake staff, a school that faces a unique set of challenges: 72 percent of the students are on the free or reduced lunch program.

Report: King County’s credit rating remains ‘stable’

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

King County’s bonds were restored to “stable” by the Moody Investor’s Service last week, a move that shields the county from any adverse effects if Moody’s makes another downgrade to the federal government’s credit rating as a whole.

“We can be proud of today’s decision by Moody’s because it recognizes our prudent management to create efficiencies, set aside savings, and partner with our employees to reduce costs,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine in a prepared statement.

In addition to the Moody’s decision, the county shared that Standard and Poor’s (S&P) assigned a “AAA” long-term rating to the county’s “upcoming limited-tax general obligation Series 2011D bonds” and also reaffirmed King County’s “AAA” long-term rating on previously issued General Obligation bonds. The county indicates that S&P felt confident in affirming those ratings because of the “county’s strong financial management and willingness to make necessary budget adjustments.”

On top of the S&P reaffirmation, another credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings, also listed King County’s bond outlook as stable and “reaffirmed its high marks

Holiday camp at Community Center in Dec. FROM STAFF REPORTS

With extended holiday breaks approaching for Federal Way students and children, there’s a Holiday Camp available at the Federal Way Community Center. The camp is geared for kids ages 5 to 15, and runs from Dec. 19-30.

According to the city, activities at the Holiday Camp will include swimming, rock climbing, holiday crafts, gym games and silly songs. Field trips are held on Wednesday, with ice skating and IMAX movies on the agenda.

Registration costs $155 per week, $40 a day, or $280 for the whole two weeks.

Also email gina.shaw@ cityoffederalway.com.

for nearly $1.8 billion worth of outstanding bonds.”

According to the county, these ratings allow the county to borrow money for projects at a lower cost

to taxpayers. The high marks will allow the county to “obtain an interest rate on its long-term borrowings of at least .20 percent less than comparable

government borrowers with a credit rating just one category lower, and .80 lower for borrowers with a credit rating two levels below King County’s.”

The county notes that the “ratings and outlooks issued by the various credit agencies come ahead of the county’s planned $20 million bond sale on Decem-

ber 12.” A large portion of that $20 million will apparently be used to purchase 250 acres on Maury Island as part of a conservation effort.

Light rail: Sound Transit shortchanges Federal Way citizens I just read Andy Hobbs’ article “No light rail in sight despite Federal Way’s payment.�

Thanks for good public service At this time of year, most of us pause for the holidays and rightly focus on our family. Elections can be far from our thoughts.

However, for others who are planning to run for office in either 2012 or 2013, the campaign has already started. The public just won’t see it for a while.

But before we look ahead, we need to look back for a moment.

The year saw changes in Federal Way’s city council and school board. Two longtime council members will be leaving as will two school board members who each served one term.

Mike Park announced in June that after 16 years on the city council, he would not run again. Jack Dovey was defeated in his bid for re-election.

Park is Korean and Dovey is a businessman.

Many citizens tend to think of them as advocates for those constituent groups. Park is involved in the Korean community, and his local and international contacts have been helpful to city interests. But, it would be a mistake to view his contributions so narrowly. He owns a small business and has been a strong proponent of senior needs, parks and recreation in addition to economic development. He was elected mayor twice by his colleagues. He was a leader in establishing the Federal Way Police Department.

The same applies to Dovey. He isn’t just a representative of business, although he was a leader on the medical business incubator. He also took City Hall into the neighborhoods during his time as mayor to try and connect with their needs.

Federal Way has a City Hall, low taxes, low crime rate, Celebration Park and a Community

Center at least in part due to the efforts of these two men. They are thoughtful, deliberate and consensus builders. More importantly, they actually understand government, and avoid superficial answers to complex problems, a temptation of many in today’s political climate. They will be missed. They have been good public leaders.

Amye Bronson-Doherty and Suzanne Smith will be leaving the school board after only one term. That’s too bad, as they brought a sense of stability to the board at a time when it was desperately needed. They eased the transition from longtime Superintendent Tom Murphy to new Superintendent Rob Neu. They were able to avoid issues that caused previous boards problems, and focused on improving our children’s educational opportunities. Neither was interested in self-promotion or political gain. They were school board members like you would like to think you would be if you were elected.

Mike, Jack, Amye and Suzanne, thanks for your hard work. You served your community well.

Lastly, former State Sen. Frank Warnke recently passed away. Many think of Warnke as more closely associated with Auburn, but he looked out for Federal Way’s interests as well.

He worked with many legislators in South King County to make sure the whole regional area was protected and represented during his 20 years in the Legislature. Thank you, Senator Warnke.

Here are a few things I think about Christmas. t 8IFO EJE $ISJTUNBT become a season of asking?

I thought it was a season of giving. I think I’ll rename it a season of fleecing. It’s a brave new world out there. People invite you to a party and ask that you donate to their charity — after you are there. My kids give me a list of their Christmas needs on Facebook.

I suggested they text it. Too many wasted key strokes with Facebook. Wouldn’t want to put them out. I want a fleece shirt for Christmas to protect me from all of the fleecing. I’m making a statement. t * IBWF OFWFS TFFO UIF FBSMZ T Ę JDL i" Christmas Story.� All I know is that every year I have to listen to my wife mention that she wants some leg lamp and the boys want some Red Ryder BB gun. Perhaps to shoot the lamp with.

I don’t know and I don’t care. If I’m going to watch a classic flick, it’s going to be “Hoosiers� or “Rudy.� Now those are good Christmas stories. t 4USBJHIU /P $IBTFS JT UIF CFTU $ISJTUNBT music on the planet. Their renditions of “The 12 Days of Christmas� and “The Christmas CanCan� are spot on. Following closely is the “12 Pains of Christmas.� Look it up on YouTube.

When you can include Archie Bunker and hanging Christmas lights in the same song, you can’t go wrong. For someone with my pathetic lease on life, this is manna from Heaven. “Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer� is a close third. I would like Straight No Chaser to take a swing at this song. That could be worth the price of an iTunes download. t * UIJOL KPMMZ PME 4U /JDL HPU JU SJHIU XJUI BMM of his ho, ho, ho’s.

Forget about bells and angels getting their wings and all of that sappy stuff. Clark Griswold, while getting locked in the attic, gets dressed up in his wife’s old clothes and watches old home movies and then falls through the ceiling. This is as classic as it gets. If I die and go to Heaven and this movie isn’t in the gated library, I’ll ask to leave. t "O BOBHSBN JT B XPSE UIBU XIFO NJYFE VQ forms another word. So, if debit card is an anagram for bad credit, does this mean that Father Christmas is an anagram for he’s fat, smart, rich?

that just is “totally unacceptable.�

That is equivalent to saying “thanks for your money, we’ll think about it (building the line to your area) and get back to you sometime next century.�

Hello? They obviously need a “wake-up call� because that is not what we agreed to. The line needs to be built to at least as far south as 272nd Street at a minimum —

no ifs, ands or buts about it. Don’t give us “excuses.� Give us results.

There is no excuse that the rich residents of Bellevue can get what they want while Federal Way gets the shaft.

Kudos to city spokesman Chris Carrel and Mayor Skip Priest for sticking to their guns. Sound Transit must be held accountable.

Upset by gay Santa I like reading The Mirror. I am a paid subscriber. I don’t always see eye to eye with everything I read, but I was extremely upset by the article “What if Santa Claus were gay?� printed in the Dec. 7 issue.

Yeah, yeah, I get Ms. Johnson’s point, but why did she have to

bring Santa Claus into it? The holidays are about family, friends and religion. I don’t see why we have to drag sexual orientation into the holidays. Santa Claus has been a friendly spirit of Christmas, beloved by children and adults. This article spoils the images we all have of Santa.

Ms. Johnson would be better served finding a more appropriate platform for her lesson on acceptance.

On Nov. 20, Loiland was among a crew assessing the scene of an earlymorning one-car rollover accident on southbound I-5 near 272nd Street in Federal Way. According to the fire district, a Chevrolet Blazer traveling on southbound I-5 apparently hit an icy spot and lost control while approaching the scene. The vehicle struck Loiland on the road’s right shoulder and narrowly missed another firefighter and a lieutenant, according to the district. Loiland suffered severe head and

facial injuries, a collapsed lung and a broken arm.

The accident is under investigation by the Washington State Patrol. There was no alcohol involved and no criminal findings have been reported.

Members of International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2024 and South King Fire and Rescue personnel remain committed to supporting Loiland and his family, according to a news release from the fire district.

Well-wishers have come forward from across the country and from overseas.

KNUTZEN FA M I LY T H E AT R E

The Philippine tradition of Simbang Gabi, which means getting up early, walking through town carrying brightly-colored starts or lanterns called “parols� and gathering together for mass at early dawn for nine consecutive days to prepare for the coming of Jesus.

This tradition, except for the mass at early dawn, is being carried on here in Federal Way Catholic churches, St. Theresa’s and St. Vincent.

The original Simbang Gabi was called the “Misa de Aurea� or the “Angels’ Mass.� In 1587, Fray Diego Soria, prior of the San Agustin Convent, petitioned the Pope for permis-

sion to hold Christmas Masses outdoors because the church could not accommodate the multitude that attended the services.

The request was granted through a rescript in the 17th Century.

The Misa de Gallo or Simbang Gabi became a Filipino spiritual tradition thereafter. Vatican II encouraged the church in the Philippines to continue the tradition and uphold its significant role in the life of the people. Filipino Americans brought the Simbang Gabi to the United States and other countries and found it to be an effective way to build a community faith.

Simbang Gabi is a wonderful opportunity to [ more SIMBANG GABI p. 10 ]

If you want to drink, stay off the road The holiday season is well under way. The weather is cold and damp, the shoppers out in force, and parties are aplenty. Alcohol plays a big part as revelers abide.

A word to all the happy people of Federal Way and beyond: don’t even think about drinking and driving. Pretty simple. It’s stupid and it’s illegal. Sure, the same message goes out every year and for some, goes in one ear and out the other. But until it stops (as if it ever will), it’s a message that bears repeating.

This year I’m yelling it a little louder than normal. It’s been about a year since my friend and co-worker Emmanuel Franco was hit by a drunk driver and died at the corner of 320th Street and Pacific Highway, the center of “downtown� Federal Way. As with all cases of this type, it affects too many people to count.

Bottom line: if you’re gonna drink, stay off of the freakin’ road.

Jeff Shaw, Auburn

Who decorates this Christmas tree?

I’m not sure if you travel on South 336th Street through the meadow at Weyerhaeuser very often.

The last two or three years,

Someone has decorated this little evergreen tree for Christmas on South 336th Street at the Weyerhaeuser campus. COURTESY OF BEVERLY TRIPLETT someone has decorated this little evergreen tree for Christmas.

Last year, it was decorated, then undecorated a couple of times, but again this year it has appeared decorated quite pretty.

I took this picture to show you.

Perhaps it would make a little story in the paper about how the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in the meadow.

The tree usually sits there along South 336th Street all alone, but some mysterious person has chosen to decorate it for the holidays.

I think it’s quite a statement, in a very nice silent way.

Bally closes: Passion of the tennis players I’d like to thank you for coming to our end of an era party at Bally Total Fitness on Dec. 8.

I hope it left you with an understanding of how deeply passionate our tennis players are. People of all ages and walks of life played on those courts. For some, who have lost spouses, it was the center of their social life. Many of us suffer injuries that would stop most people from playing, but we grit out teeth returning to the courts to play the game that makes us

3UHSDUH IRU D 1HZ &DUHHU DV D 0DVVDJH 7KHUDSLVW

feel alive, happy and vital.

As we played until the very last minute, most of us were still numb after the crushing blow that left us bereft of a tennis home.

Corporations hoping to corner the fitness market by creating a monopoly should be held accountable under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which makes it illegal to have a monopoly.

Their real accountability should be to the nearly 1,000 members and all other teams in the South Washington USTA league who are

now affected because the league has vanished.

I can promise you that the people you saw today will not be victims of corporate greed for long. We will find a way to play together again. Yes, we will do it for the love of the game, but the underlying reality is we do it for the love of each other. As for LA Fitness, their clubs are cold buildings with workout equipment.

They have no heart and to that I say “no thanks.�

The Federal Way Football Club under-12 Miyahara Strikers girls soccer team won the state championship of the 2011 Sports Authority Washington Youth Soccer Recreational Cup title Saturday.

The team beat the Mukilteo Strikers in the state championship game at the Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, 2-0. The FWFC Strikers earned the berth in the title game with a 1-0 win over the ISC Pumas Sunday morning at Starfire.

The Recreational Cup is Washington Youth Soccer’s only state recreational tournament. Held in the late fall/winter seasons, a philosophy of player participation in a low-stress, fun filled environment is promoted to recreational players only, U-11 through U-19.

Throughout this year’s Rec Cup, the Strikers were 5-0-1.

The team includes Elise Adkisson, Deniese Baker, Larissa Caldera, Olivia Chong, Madi Combs, Isabelle Hall, Katlyne Hewlett, Tori Johnson, Michelle Kim, Morgan Kreckman, Bryn Mader, Ange Menchu-Lopez, Marissa Miyahara, Jillian Ory, Crystal Rivera, Hannah Togia, Sydney Victor and Hannah Wolf.

All five Fullerton (6-3) starters scored in double figures, led by the 25 points of Umipig and a double-double by Cal transfer Omondi Amoke with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

“I have great confidence in watching Zeke (Umipig) shoot it,” said Fullerton head coach Bob Burton. “They wanted to stop D.J. Seeley (leading scorer at 16.8 ppg held to 10) and that opened things up for Umipig and Chin (17 points in the first half).”

There is still hope that the three Class 4A Federal Way high schools will be in the same division of the South Puget Sound League.

The 18-team league is in the midst of a two-year reclassification cycle and are exploring options that could put Federal Way, Thomas Jefferson and Todd Beamer into one division. Currently, Federal Way and Beamer are in the SPSL South, while TJ plays in the SPSL North Division. The Federal Way schools are the only district in the SPSL who play in different divisions.

“As of right now, we are looking at a number of options,” said Beamer athletic director Jerry Peterson. “Our goal has always been to be together.”

The league’s athletic directors met recently and forwarded four recommendations to the league’s principals regarding the league’s alignment during the next two-year cycle, according to Peterson. The SPSL’s principals, who have the final say in the realignment process, should make a decision after the New Year. The new cycle begins during the fall season of 2012.

The first, and most likely, recommendation calls for the two Class 4A divisions to remain the same, which would keep the three Federal [ more REALIGNMENT page 16 ]

Wrestling: Gators win Hurricane Harris Memorial Tournament

BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Decatur High School’s Nick Karis (right) won the 160-pound championship at the Hurricane Harris Memorial Tournament Saturday at Decatur. CASEY OLSON, The Mirror

It was only fitting that the Decatur Gators win the inaugural “Hurricane” Harris Memorial Tournament Saturday.

The Gator wrestling team not only tallied 208.5 points to win the 17-team tournament inside the Decatur gym, but also crowned four individual champions. Tristan Dawson won the 113-pound title, Nick Karis

won at 160, Rowland Gaydosh at 170 and Spencer Smith took the 182-pound championship Saturday.

Robert “Hurricane” Harris was a Decatur wrestler before drowning in September in Lake Tapps. Harris had been at a family barbecue when he went into the lake to retrieve a football that was floating on the water. He then began to struggle and disappeared into the water, according to the reports. Family members swam

out to where he was last seen, but couldn’t find him.

Dive units from the Pierce County Sheriff ’s Office began a grid search for Harris and located his body 54 minutes after he had been underwater, reports said.

Efforts to resuscitate Harris were unsuccessful.

“The main thing is he was just a heck of a good kid,” said Decatur’s longtime head wrestling coach Mike Bressler earlier this year. “A [ more WRESTLING page 16 ]

Ishikawa signs minor league deal with the Brewers

BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

Federal Way High School graduate Travis Ishikawa will be with a new organization for the first time in his professional baseball career next season.

After spending nine seasons with the San Francisco Giants, the first baseman signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. Ishikawa was a Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; draft pick out of Federal Way in 2002 and was a key reserve on San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Series team back in 2010.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound left hander will attend the Major League spring training camp with the Brewers, but is not guaranteed a spot on Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-man roster.

Ishikawa is coming off shoulder surgery in June on his non-throwing arm. He suffered the injury while playing right field for the Fresno Grizzlies, the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AAA affiliate.

Ishikawa was hitting .251 with three home runs, 18 RBIs and 14 doubles in 56 games for the Grizzlies before the shoulder injury. Ishikawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last game was June 12.

He was designated for assignment by San Francisco following spring training last year after spending the previous two seasons and parts of two others, on the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Major League roster.

After clearing waivers, Ishikawa was outrighted to Fresno. Ishikawa was hoping to sign with another Major League team after being cut from the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 40-man roster. But there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of interest in the veteran first baseman before the 2011 season.

During San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Series season, Ishikawa hit .319 (15-for-47) as a pinch-hitter and was regarded highly enough to start Game 4 against the Texas Rangers.

Ishikawa also drew a key walk in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Atlanta that fueled a ninthinning rally.

During the entire 2010 postseason, he played in a total of 10 games and finished 2 for 10 at the plate with two runs, a double and an RBI during the playoffs.

The 28-year-old Ishikawa appeared in 116 games in 2010 for the Giants during the regular season when he hit .266 in 128 at-bats with 42 hits, 11 doubles, three home runs and 22 RBIs. Ishikawa spent a bulk of the 2009 season as San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyday first baseman after an impressive spring training. In 2009, Ishikawa hit .261 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs in 120 regular season games.

He also spent time with the Giants during the 2006 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;08 seasons. Ishikawa has a lifetime batting average of .265 with 15 home runs, 80 RBIs, 30 doubles in 603 at-bats during his four-year Major League career.

Ishikawa was a 21st round draft choice by the Giants out of Federal Way in 2002. But he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the normal 21st rounder. The Giants dished out $955,000 to sign the first baseman. It was the highest bonus awarded for a player drafted after the first round at the time.

Karis then started the Gatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; streak of threestraight weight-class titles by outclassing Sumnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.J. Atoigue in the 160-pound title match, 4-2. Karis, who finished in sixth place at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mat Classic, earned the championship berth with three-straight falls in preliminary-round matches.

[ REALIGNMENT from page 14 ] Way schools in different divisions.

The three other options recommended by the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic directors would all have the three Federal Way schools in the same divisions.

Two possible options would include Jefferson moving into the SPSL South and Curtis into the North or the two Auburn schools (Auburn and Auburn Riverside) moving South and Beamer and Federal Way into the North.

The last, and least likely, of the four recommendations would be moving to three divisions in all sports. Currently, sports like golf, swimming, tennis and track feature three divisions.

But the alignment would make it difficult for scheduling and postseason berths in sports like football, basketball and baseball/softball, according to Peterson.

The move of the two Auburn schools to the South and Beamer to the North Division seems to make the

last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mat Classic state tournament, won both of his matches Saturday by pin. Williams needed only 1:31 to beat Bonney Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jordan Schultz in the championship.

The Raiders also got a second-place finish from 113-pounder Michael Roybal.

Jefferson finished eighth in the 13-team tournament, which Bonney Lake won.

BEAMER The talented Todd Beamer Titans finished second at the prestigious Battle at the Border 2011 invitational Saturday in Blaine. The Titans finished just three points behind Mount Baker in the 22-team tournament.

Kentwood up in third place.

Beamer won a total of 52 matches during the tournament and lost only 15.

The Titans crowed five individual weight class champions during the tournament. Beamer actually won four titles in row, starting with Brett Dykman at 113 pounds and running through Aron Set-Hiet at 132. The Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other championships came from

most sense.

In terms of geography, Auburn and Auburn Riverside are located south of the two Federal Way schools and closer to Highway 167, which is the main freeway leading to a bulk of the SPSL South schools in Graham, Spanaway and Puyallup.

But officials in Auburn and Kent, which has four schools in the North Division, have cited the tradition of the two cities competing against each other as a reason for not moving Auburn and Auburn Riverside south.

The four high schools in the Federal Way school district, which also includes Decatur, havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in the same division of the SPSL since the 2005-06 school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played TJ in football in years,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want those inner-city rivalries resumed. Our message has always been consistent. We would like to be in the same division.â&#x20AC;?

Decatur will remain in the SPSLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

FEDERAL WAY The Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jessy Leifi led the way by winning a title in the 285-pound division at the 2011 Wilfong Classic at Puyallup High School Saturday. Leifi beat Marysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skylar Hatch in the final, 10-2, after earning two pins in earlier matches.

Federal Way also got a second-place finish from Anthony Pena at 113 pounds and finished ninth in the standings during the 15-team tournament.

3A Division, according to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director Rex Tucker. The 3A Division will remain the same during the next two-year cycle with Decatur, Auburn Mountainview, Lakes, Peninsula, Bonney Lake and Enumclaw.

During the last two-year reclassification cycle in 2009, Federal Way High School appealed the SPSL principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision that forced either Federal Way or Thomas Jefferson to move from the SPSL North Division into the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Division.

Federal Way was eventually forced to move in the South.

Recently, there had been some talk about five of the six 4A Narrows League schools applying for membership in the SPSL, according to Peterson. But it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like that will happen, he said. Bellarmine Prep, Central Kitsap, Gig Harbor, Olympia and South Kitsap applied for membership to the SPSL, but are now expected to withdraw their applications.

Basketball wrap: Eagle girls lose first SPSL game

BY CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com

For the first time since nearly two years, the Federal Way girls basketball team suffered a loss during the South Puget Sound League regular season. The Emerald Ridge Jaguars needed overtime to beat the Eagles Thursday night, 88-82.

Federal Way (2-1) rolled through last season with a perfect 16-0 record in the SPSL South and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost an SPSL game since February 2010. But the Eagles couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Emerald Ridge point guard Taylor Buie Thursday.

The senior scored a career-high 47 points, including all 12 of the Jaguarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; points in overtime.

But the most Huertas-Vining amazing shot of the night came at the end of regulation. With Federal Way leading by three points, Buie forced overtime with an improbable 3-pointer that bounced around before going through the hoop at the buzzer.

Buie needed all 47 of her points because Federal Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darah Huertas-Vining finished the game with 31, including all six of the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; points in overtime.

Emerald Ridge led 38-36 at halftime, but Federal Way outscored the Jaguars, 23-14, during the third quarter to take a seven-point lead into the final eight minutes of the contest.

The Raiders downed the 2010 Class 4A state champions, 64-58, Thursday night. It was Jeffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea the last time that happened,â&#x20AC;? said TJ head coach

Small Works, Big Presents

Kyle Templeton about TJ beating Kentwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a big-time effort by our kids.â&#x20AC;?

The Raiders (2-3 overall, 2-2 SPSL North) controlled a bulk of the game against Kentwood, jumping out to a 20-12 lead after the first quarter. But the Conks came back during the second and third quarters to pull to within three points entering the final eight minutes, 41-38,. But TJ outscored Kentwood, 23-18, in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

The Raiders were led by senior guard Jacob Thoreson, who finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

Jefferson also got 14 points and eight rebounds from Joshua Duckworth and 10 points and six assists from Daniel Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were doing it short-handed as David Luafatasaga got hurt in the first two minutes of the game,â&#x20AC;?

Templeton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the only guy who has any size for us and Kentwood has three guys 6-foot-5 or bigger. Thoreson and Kendall Green were awesome defensively.â&#x20AC;?

The Raiders won their second SPSL North game in a row Saturday, 61-56, over Tahoma. Park led three TJ players in double figures with 17 points. Daryon James chipped in 14 and Green finished with 13.

The Gift of Art Through December 18

Kaczor Berry honored as a top assistant MIRROR STAFF

Former Federal Way High School graduate Jodie Kaczor Berry was honored in a recent article by Jason Belzer, currently posted on collegeinsider.com, as the fourth-ranked assistant coach in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midmajor college basketball.

Kaczor Berry is in her seventh year as a member of the Gonzaga womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coaching staff and fifth year as an assistant coach. She served as the coordinator of basketball operations for the Bulldogs for two seasons prior to being promoted to an assistant coach role in the summer of 2005. Kaczor Berry was promoted to GUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top assistant two years later.

Kaczor Berry played at Western Washington University, where she finished her career as WWUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career leader in three-pointers (210) and free-throw percentage (81.9) and earned AllGreat Northwest Athletic Conference honors in 2001 and 2002. Western Washington posted a 95-24 record during Kaczor Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-year career and four trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament with a final four appearance in 2000.

Kaczor Berry led Federal Way to the 1996 state girls basketball championship.

Giving â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about spending money The holidays are here again and you may be faced with buying for people who have everything they could want and more. Here are some unique ideas: Charitable gifts: Select a charity dear to the recipientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and make a donation to it in their name. Or, instead of contributing money, you can buy a goat or sheep for a family in need in a thirdworld country, in the recipientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

Artisan & Fair Trade Crafts: Several organizations offer handmade gifts from artisans in developing countries around the world. You buy the gifts, and the artisans receive much of the profit.

Joint Volunteering: If the recipient regularly volunteers, find out where and join them in their activity. It may be making up care packages for soldiers abroad or delivering meals to seniors.

You might enjoy it so much that you end up volunteering more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a gift that will keep on giving!

Handcrafted by You: Make gifts using things you already have

on hand. Bake some cupcakes or cookies and package them in cheerfully decorated containers from the dollar store.

Photo Share: Make a family CD or calendar from your digital photos. There is also the option of using the many web-based photo sharing and printing services that offer a plethora of personalized photo gifts.

Recipe Book: Most families have special recipes and traditions that go along with the recipes. Gathering your favorite recipes into a homemade book makes a wonderful gift and preserves your family traditions.

Mommy Time: Offer to watch the kids or run errands for a harried mother. She will be forever grateful for the thought and for a little extra â&#x20AC;&#x153;mommyâ&#x20AC;? time.

Gift of Time: Spend some time with an elderly neighbor. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy the companionship â&#x20AC;Ś and you may learn a thing or two!

Re-gifting Controversy: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with re-gifting when possible. Take a look around your home and you may be surprised to find items you rarely use or have yet to use. This may even include gifts you bought and forgot about, or ones you received and never opened. Think about the people in your life who will love, appreciate and use them!

They come to Christmas House the week of Dec. 19 and shop for each of their children, ages 14 and under. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really makes Christmas House unique is that the parent actually picks out the gift for their child. They can feel more control that way, more a part of the giving,â&#x20AC;? said Debra Hansen, a Christmas House volunteer.

Now in its 27th year of serving Federal Way children, Christmas House was started by Betty Long, a local resident who saw a need

Christmas House has blossomed into a huge effort that reaches across Federal Way to involve hundreds of community members, area churches, Multi-Service Center and The Commons Mall. Last year, Christmas House served 2,287 area children. Organizers expect the need to be just as great this year.

Lana (who asked that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use her last name), a mother of three young daughters, will be one of the parents coming to Christmas House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for Christmas House, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any presents,â&#x20AC;? Lana said.

There is no budget for Christmas House. Everything is donated. And because of that, Gibson said, there is a balancing act each year to have enough gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow, every year we have managed to have enough. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing, really,â&#x20AC;?

[ TEACHERS from page 1] According to OSPI, the teachers at Mirror Lake were part of 945 new NBCTs, a number that puts Washington second in the nation, behind only North Carolina. The state is fourth overall in total number of NBCTs, with 6,242 teachers statewide having achieved the distinction.

The teachers at Mirror Lake will receive some generous compensation for taking the time to achieve the NBCT status, with OSPI indicating that teachers receive an extra $5,000 for the certification. If, like Mirror Lake, they teach in a challenging school (which is 70 percent or more on free and reduced lunch at the elementary level), they receive an additional $5,000 bonus. OSPI notes that most teachers bonuses are used to pay back â&#x20AC;&#x153;conditionalâ&#x20AC;? loans they take out to go through the certification process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefits of having so many teachers working on their certification together were amazing,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Mirror Lake, we see ourselves as a team. The wonderful effort on behalf of the teachers and their cohort leader resulted in all teachers receiving their board certification. I know that we are a better school today because of this pro-

cess. They were supported by the state, by the district and by their cohort leader, but most of all, by each other.â&#x20AC;?

While their reliance on each other was critical to their success, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan noted that support from Federal Way Public Schools and the state were also important in helping these 10 teachers achieve their certification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The) support through the district and through the state was critical in the success of our teachers,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a monthly support group. Whereas at another school it might have been just the monthly meeting that promoted the understanding of the national board, with our school it was part of the daily conversation. The National Board process gave us a unified vocabulary to talk about student achievement and helped us continually ask the question, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How is this impacting student achievement?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Board certification requires teachers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;submit a four-part portfolio and six-exercise content and pedagogy assessment.

The 10 entries document a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in the classroom as evidenced by his or her studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning. The portfolio is then assessed by a national panel of peers.â&#x20AC;?
