How to fight photo tickets

Even in summer, homeless shelters prepare for winter

Helpful hints for the next time a city camera catches you

For The Mirror

A young man, Aaron, came wandering in from the cold, looking for a roof and a hot meal.

Only 19 years old, this boy had lost his father, and been forced out of the home by his stepmother.

During Federal Way’s last winter, more than 200 men, women and children were forced to endure the elements — facing hunger, cold, violence and hopelessness. It is in the kindness of strangers that people like young Aaron would find their solace.

Since opening in the winter of 2009, Reach Out Federal Way has served nearly 50 men each season, finding them housing, providing job training, and helping them reconnect with loved ones.

Nancy Jaenicke, Reach Out’s program coordinator, said the organization started with just a single Federal Way church, a [ more HOMELESS, p. 10 ] NEWSPAPER RACKS: To see a list of rack locations for the print edition of The Mirror, visit federalwaymirror.com/about_us.

What’s the best way to avoid paying a ticket from a Federal Way traffic camera?

Fight it.

The automated enforcement system is set up for people to pay, not to argue — and citizens can use that flaw to their advantage.

“When you pay, you’re doing exactly what they want you to do,” said Herman Brewer, a Federal Way traffic attorney. “Everybody has their right to a fair hearing. Make them do their work.”

Federal Way’s first four red light photo cameras went active in 2008. Today, there are 14 cameras at 11 locations. Eight cameras capture red light violations,

and six cameras target school zone speeders.

A photo ticket can cost between $124 to $250, depending on the violation. In the first six months of 2012, Federal Way generated about $1.2 million in net revenue from the controversial cameras.

For drivers who receive a photo ticket, Brewer advises to request a court hearing.

“The last thing they want is for you to show up and request a continuance,” Brewer said.

Most residents are intimidated by the system and just want the ticket to go away, Brewer said.

Each ticket is reviewed by Arizona-based American Traffic Solutions (ATS) and Federal Way police before being sent to the registered owner of the vehicle.

The city actually loses money when a ticket goes to court. The court must go [ more TICKETS, page 27 ]

Agencies plead for human service grants

Volunteers spruce up Lake Dolloff station

Members of the PAWS (People Helping Animals) team spruced up the King County Sheriff’s Office substation, 4950 S. 298th St., in the Lake Dolloff neighborhood east of Federal Way. King County Sheriff Steve Strachan and King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer were on hand to thank the volunteers for their hard work at a rededication ceremony Aug. 16 for this volunteer-driven project. Capt. Greg Thomas, the officer in charge of the Lake Dolloff substation, said volunteers like the members of PAWS are a positive for the community. “The citizens of this area have been so supportive of the sheriff’s office that they wanted to show their support by having the local ‘Cop Shop’ looking as good as possible,” Thomas said. “We are very fortunate to have such wonderful people on our side who care about their community.” GREG ALLMAIN, The Mirror

Evelyn Castellar puts it: ‘I didn’t start my organization — it started me.’”

Castellar and her husband, Jose, launched Projecto Honduras to deliver critical health care and save lives in remote villages of the Central American nation — where some children are so poor and hungry, they resort to eating dirt before an early death.

Long before Projecto Honduras became official in 2008, the Castellars were helping children in the Honduran cloud forests.

They opened a small free clinic in 2002, and eventually were seeing hundreds of Hondurans daily.

Through donations and volunteers, Projecto Honduras has expanded to battle malnutrition and unsanitary conditions.

Castellar said she leads two missions a year in Honduras, connecting people with everything from prosthetic legs to treatment for rare diseases and worm infestation.

One of those diseases is kwashiorkor, a devastating illness resulting from malnutrition and protein deficiency. The disease causes children to stop growing

Federal Way resident Evelyn Castellar received a 2012 Classic Woman Award from Traditional Home magazine, announced in the September issue.

Castellar founded a charity that helps the poor in Honduras.

Their liver and feet enlarge, and they develop anorexia.

Once the children with kwashiorkor receive food and treatment, Castellar said, their recovery is dramatic. Their hair returns to black, and the children start smiling again. Castellar said she has shown children before and after pictures, and the children don’t recognize their former selves.

Projecto Honduras recently connected with volunteers from Calera High School in Alabama.

The volunteers built two basic utility vehicles for villagers in the underdeveloped areas of Honduras.

Driver injures teen on skateboard Mirror staff reports

Federal Way police are looking for the driver in a hit and run incident that injured a 14-year-old boy. About 5:30 p.m. Monday, the teen was riding a skateboard down the middle of South 304th Place near 3rd Avenue South when he was struck by a vehicle and knocked off the skateboard. The teen recalled few details, according to the report. The teen told police that all he could remember was landing on the hood of the vehicle and falling onto the street. The teen could not remember which direction the vehicle came from, nor could he provide a description. The victim was alert and conscious, and complained of pain in his right knee, both arms and hip.

The officer at the scene was unable to locate any skid marks, vehicle debris, physical evidence or witnesses.

Gun control laws won’t fix the problem (Re: Bob Roegner’s Aug. 10 article on gun control) Every once in a while, Mr. Roegner gets it right. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times.

Mr. Roegner is like a number of liberals who believe that we can fix any problem with just another law or regulation. The problem that we have is there are already numerous laws and regulations pertaining to gun purchase and use. Unfortunately, many of them are not enforced or just completely ignored by our elected officials.

Saying that all we need to do is simply pass another law would

Big surprise in primary election Much of the primary went as expected, but there were a couple of big surprises.

The biggest one was in the governor race. For the past year, Republican Rob McKenna has run an almost textbook campaign, and at one point led Democrat Jay Inslee by double digits. McKenna easily claimed the mantle of front-runner, and many newspaper stories wrote that McKenna would be the first Republican governor since John Spellman was elected 30 years ago.

“Jay who” was a familiar question in voterrich King County. But then a couple of weeks before the primary, Inslee ran two outstanding commercials to introduce himself to the public.

Neither of McKenna’s commercials seemed to connect as well as Inslee’s. The polls tightened up, though McKenna continued to lead.

Before the primary, McKenna was rated higher on economic issues, and Inslee rated higher on social issues. They were rated even on concern for education. But in “likability,” Inslee ranked higher in the polling.

McKenna was expected by many to come out of the primary with a slight lead. But in a surprise, it was Inslee leading 47 percent to 43 percent statewide, even with 4 percent going to another Democrat.

The shocker was Inslee’s margin of 59 percent to 35 percent in King County. McKenna was previously on the King County Council and has run several points above the Republican

base in past races. Even though both parties said typical primary voters favored the other side, independent analysts said primary voters tend to be older and slightly more conservative. That would have favored McKenna.

Last spring, some leading Democrats felt McKenna would be hard to beat, particularly with his King County ties, and were thought to be looking for a stronger candidate to lead the Democratic ticket. But with Inslee exposing a possible McKenna weakness in King County, this could be a very close race.

On the local front, many were disappointed with State Rep. Mark Miloscia’s third-place finish in the Democratic primary for State Auditor. Sen. Craig Pridemore had been projected as the front-runner, but House member Troy Kelley came on strong toward the end of the race to win and will face Republican James Watkins in November.

In reviewing newspapers published by Sound Publishing throughout the state, Kelley started spending for news print several weeks ago, and it appears to have paid off. Miloscia will be out of office for the first time in almost a decade, and it will interesting to see if he has any future political plans. Kelley has the resources and will be considered the front-runner.

Also on the local front, Federal Way City Councilwoman Linda Kochmar pulled a mild [ more ROEGNER, page 7 ] Bob Roegner

INSIDE POLITICS

EDITORIAL

First Aurora, Colo., shocked the nation and now a shooting at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin is creating an international furor over U.S. gun laws.

An active shooter in suburban Milwaukee murdered six people and three others were critically wounded, including Oak Creek Police Officer Lt. Brian Murphy.

Lt. Brian Murphy ran to the scene of the shooting at the Sikh temple and was helping a victim when the gunman shot him. Another police officer engaged the killer and stopped further loss of life by ending the life of Wade Michael Page.

Page played in white supremacist heavy metal bands with names such as Definite Hate and End Apathy. The Southern Poverty Law Center described Page as a frustrated neo-Nazi.

Sikhism is a 500-year-old religious faith known for tolerance and regard for the sanctity of life. It’s the world’s fifth-largest religion with about 27 million adherents. The Seattle Times reports 80,000 to 500,000 Sikhs live in the U.S. — possibly 25,000 in Washington, mostly living in nearby Renton and Kent with other concentrations in Seattle, Bellevue, Marysville, Bellingham and Spokane.

The New York-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 hate crimes in the U.S. since Sept. 11, 2001. Ironically, many folks confuse Sikhs with followers of Islam because the men wear turbans and beards.

Authorities are not sure what Page’s motive was. With so many people in and around South King County that practice the Sikh religion, I am planning to reach out and provide classes on the laws of armed defense to any local gurdwara — or mosque, synagogue or church — that wishes to work with us to provide such legal training for their people at little or no cost.

One pastor in Kent asked me to provide a onehour legal segment for a class on personal protection in the home. This is normally a two-day NRA class. The NRA requires that an attorney or officer of the law provide the legal segment that is part of each class. So many people signed up for the class that I taught my one-hour portion three times in one week and attended one of the three classes through the entire day, including an intensive livefire event.

Many local churches are quietly encouraging a few volunteers to be armed at church because of all the mass shootings that have occurred in churches nationwide. Seattle has already experienced a shooting at the Jewish Federation that resulted in mass fatalities and casualties.

The President of the Sikh temple near Milwaukee, Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65, had to grab a butter knife in the temple to defend his flock. He stabbed

Mr. Roegner suggests that the people concerned with guns and gun control should meet with our elected officials to discuss this problem. Does that mean that we will include other communities who may be bringing guns into Federal Way, or will we just assume that if Federal Way has certain gun

controls that everybody within the surrounding area will respect those laws. I think not.

Mr. Roegner suggests that certain guns (semi-automatic) or certain types of ammunition be banned or restricted.

Obviously Mr. Roegner has never fired a shotgun which is not semi-automatic and does not have any type of large clip. A shotgun that can be purchased anywhere without the required waiting period. As much as I hate to admit it, if the shooter in Colorado had been armed with a shotgun loaded with

large caliber buck shot, there could have been more casualties than there were.

The one area that I do agree with Mr. Roegner is that, being a gun owner and gun advocate, I do believe that there should be a waiting period for the purchase of any gun regardless of its type or caliber.

At present, there is a sevenday waiting period to purchase a handgun. If more time is needed to properly complete a significant background check to include a mental health screening, I have no problem. If someone is in such a hurry to purchase a gun, they probably shouldn’t be allowed to purchase it. [ more LETTERS, page 5 ]

During my work life, I contributed to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax from my wages to help pay for my parents’ (and their peers’) Social Security income, as well as to contribute to my own accruing Earned Benefits.

I also helped to pay for the Social Security benefits of Ayn Rand, who was collecting them under an alias, Ann O’Connor.

Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan raided my Social Security account to balance the nation’s books because Reagan was borrowing a lot of money to make our economy look good during his administration.

I also paid into the fund for my parents’ and peers’ Medicare, as well as into my own accruing account of Earned Benefits. Of course, I also paid for the Medicare of Ayn Rand, aka, Ann O’Connor.

George W. Bush tried to scuttle that fund by loading it up with an unpaid-for Medicare Part D to make it look like Medicare was costing too much money.

Despite the thefts of Ronald Reagan and the nasty work of Bush, there is still a lot of money left in the Social Security Fund and the Medicare Fund and Wall Street wants this money.

It’s frightening that Mitt Romney chose the most anti-senior Representative Paul Ryan (worshiper of Ayn Rand) as his vice presidential running mate this week. If those

Letter writer Ann Sandt exhibits specious reasoning and relies on a frightening number of logical fallacies in her recent letter “Only humans have a problem with gays” (Aug. 10).

First, she alludes to the historical practice of the arranged marriage and how this enterprise devalued women as mere possessions to suggest that “marriage has been used to develop bonds for reasons other than love and holy matrimony.” Sandt is correct.

However, she points out a flaw in the institution of marriage only to insist that if such atrocities have occurred in the past, society should permit homosexuals to marry each other now because they actually love each other.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, Ann. If “love” is the only component of a marriage, cannot one woman marry two men, or a man marry his dog?

Next, Sandt queries, “How can (those who are religious) say that God created everything in the universe and it was good, and then pick out one segment of this creation and say it is bad and defective?” This is an important question, and it undoubtedly poses a great difficulty to many believers today.

Indeed, God did create everything good. However, humans themselves introduced evil into the world when they first sinned

around.”

I also helped pay Homosexuality is a disorder just for Ayn Rand’s like alcoholism govt. benefits

against God. Hence, evil abounds in the world today not because God created evil beings, but because those good beings chose to pursue evil rather than good.

Like the inclination to suffer from alcoholism, homosexuality is an intrinsic disorder. Obviously, the individuals who suffer from both should be treated with the love and respect they deserve as humans. However, others must not enable them in their disordered behaviors.

Sandt continues, citing examples of members of the animal kingdom who exhibit homosexual tendencies to further her argument that only humans “have a problem with homosexuality.” Yes, this appears to be true.

However, arguing from the behavior of the animal kingdom can be dangerous.

Several animals, including the wolf spider, polar bear, and hyena, consume their offspring. Does this mean the strong human aversion to doing so is absurd or irrational? Of course not.

But, frighteningly, by the reasoning of the aforementioned editorial, one could also argue that humans eating their children is a “balancing piece in creation, not a blight to be scorned and abolished.”

Let’s just stick with our human rationality and strive to preserve true marriage as a sacred institution between one woman and one man. After all, to do anything less degrades the inherent dignity of the human being.

Harold Geno, Federal Way

Protection from predators This fall, when your kids go back to school — back to sports and drama and band and scouts and everything else — be a savvy parent.

Let’s review some key happenings this summer: • In June, Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of 45 counts of child sexual molestation.

• In July, an FBI report showed that Sandusky’s superiors at Penn State knew about the abuse for 14 years, yet those who knew did nothing to stop it. They were, apparently, more concerned about the football program than children being molested.

This is not a call for parents to freak out about every adult with whom your child comes into contact. Not every coach (or youth leader or band director or teacher or neighbor or person who loves kids) molests them.

Yet, it can be a difficult task to distinguish predators from those really great people that you want to be in your village and help raise your kids.

Here are some things that should raise a red flag and cause you to take extra care with your child: • Does this older teen or adult prefer to be around children, rather than people his or her own age?

• Does this person have poor boundaries? Do they refuse to stop wrestling or tickling when a child says stop?

• Do they shower your child with praise and gifts and offers to chaperone that are consistently above and beyond what would be expected in their role?

• Are they attached to just one child, as opposed to showing equal care and concern for all the children they are around?

• Do they prefer alone time with one child as opposed to group activities with that child?

• Do you have an uncomfortable feeling, anxiety, or questions when you see this person interact with children?

If any of these signs are present, keep an extra alert eye out with your children.

Do not leave your child alone with some-

one with these characteristics, and watch your child’s behavior. Here are some common signs of child sexual abuse: • Nightmares • Sudden changes in behavior • Regression • Withdrawal • Acting out sexually with other children • Sexual knowledge beyond what is appropriate for their age • Detachment from peers or not wanting to be around a particular adult Many of these signs are also indicators of other issues, like physical abuse and bullying, so be cautious in jumping to conclusions. If you start seeing multiple issues on both lists, you may want to consider consulting a professional.

About 90 percent of the time, the child knows the abuser. It can be a relative, family friend, or someone in the community the child has contact with at school or through an activity.

One of the best defenses to sexual abuse is educated kids. Children are less likely to be victims when they are aware of their bodies and body parts, have information about private areas and boundaries, and are taught to pay attention to that funny feeling inside that says something is wrong.

Children should also be taught the difference between secrets and surprises.

A surprise is something that a person will find out, and is good, like a birthday present or party. If someone tells a child to keep a secret from a parent, that child should know to immediately tell you.

Predators often manipulate children into thinking you will be upset or they will get in trouble if they tell.

www.federalwaymirror.com [ ROEGNER from page 4] upset in defeating Federal Way School Board President Tony Moore and Jerry Galland, and will represent the Republican party against Democrat Roger Flygare in November.

Kochmar had good name identification after 14 years in public office, and was named “Outstanding City Official” twice in the annual Mirror poll. Being the only female in the race may have also helped.

But the reason for her win goes deeper.

The shocker wasn’t Kochmar winning, but Tony Moore barely finishing third in total vote, just slightly ahead of first-time candidate Thom Macfarlane.

In a previous column, we projected that Galland might play a role in deciding who won. It appears that may have been the case. The numbers suggest that Galland may have taken enough votes away from Moore to help Kochmar. Although all three candidates are conservative, Kochmar had sought to position herself to the left of both Moore and Galland. Also, some election watchers thought Moore’s visibility as president of the school board during the controversy over standards based education may have hurt him. There was some possible residual effect from his previous race with Sen. Tracey Eide.

Thom Macfarlane had a very respectable showing gaining 20 percent of the vote.

But Roger Flygare had the money to do at least three mailings the past two weeks, and that combined with significant labor support appears to have made the difference.

Flygare vs. Kochmar should be a great race to watch.

As expected, incumbent Republican State Rep. Katrina Asay had a good showing and was also able to save much of her war chest for the general election, where she will get additional support from Olympia. Latestarting Roger Freeman defeated fellow

[ KNAPP from page 4] the lone gunman before being shot twice. FBI agents reportedly told Satwant’s son that Satwant was a hero because he died giving some women in the gurdwara time to take cover.

The ability of the Islamic community to defend its members will also be critical, especially if there is ever another major attack like 9/11 or atrocities against children in a school in which Middle Eastern terrorists are involved.

Certain terrorist groups are aiming to target schools in hopes that some Americans will retaliate against Muslims, thus radicalizing American Muslims who tend to be moderate.

With so many hate groups out there, however, it is difficult to predict who will attack next or what the weapons may be. We have seen box cutters, airliners, fertilizer and all kinds of improvised weapons of mass destruction deployed by different groups within the United States and abroad.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the

Democrat Rick Hoffman and will face Asay.

Interestingly, there were 1,300 more total votes cast on the Republican side in House race number one. But there was over 1,000 more that voted Democratic in House race number two. Those are the “true” independent voters who may hold the key to victory in November.

Both parties were watching those numbers to see if the garbage strike would affect the election. Though brief, it was thought the strike might affect independent voters and tilt them toward Republicans.

While that may have been true elsewhere, it doesn’t appear to have been the case here. Flygare and Hoffman were the candidates most closely aligned with labor.

Flygare advanced with numbers very close to Kochmar, and Hoffman showed well for a first-time candidate as his numbers were similar to Macfarlane, who was the other first-time candidate.

But the primary may have provided an unexpected opening.

The Republicans had thought they could take position one, and that Asay was safe in position two. They appeared to have the Democrats on the defensive, as House Democratic Speaker Frank Chopp got involved. But the vote totals have changed that thinking, and the Democrats may think they have a chance to claim both seats with Flygare and Freeman. Watch to see if the Democrats put more money into the race and if the Republicans respond.

The turnout was about 6 percent under projections and the Democratic Get Out The Vote program appeared stronger than the Republicans’ effort. Since this is a presidential year, the turnout could double in November.

Fasten your seat belts — it’s going to be a great election!

Sikh shooting because it is viewed as domestic terrorism and a hate crime.

But even if taxpayers could afford to station an FBI agent or uniformed officer at every church and school in the nation, it would be important to have at least a few specially trained men and women who are prepared to react with deadly force as volunteers.

A woman that volunteered to protect a church in Colorado stopped a man that had already killed four

other people, including two sisters right outside the church.

She took aim and fired while many others, including armed security, froze when they saw the killer coming into the church armed with a rifle and pistol. Uniformed officers are often the first people shot by someone twisted enough to carry out such an atrocity.

Crystal meth: State battles production

By GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@federalwaymirror.com

A new statewide tracking system monitors the sale of over-the-counter medicines that can be used in the production of methamphetamine. The system has stopped 13,300 sales of such medications in under nine months, according to the Washington State Department of Health.

Pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine, the three ingredients often found in powerful cold medicines, are also among the primary ingredients needed to create meth.

According to the DOH, the tracking system that watches the purchase of medicines containing the aforementioned chemicals is run by the Washington State Board of Pharmacy. Known as the National Precursor Log Exchange, the system was activated in October. Washington was one of the early adopters of the new system.

From October 2011 to last month, the new system recorded 1,023,929 purchases and blocked 13,391 of those purchases.

The number of blocked sales has risen monthly, according to the DOH. State Secretary of Health Mary Selecky sees the new system as a powerful tool for combatting meth production.

“Our state was once called the ‘poster child for the meth epidemic’ and now we’re recognized as a success story,” Selecky said. “A decade ago, there were thousands of meth labs and dumps in our state. We can thank community action and legislation, including the new rules that created our tracking system, for turning the tide.”

The use of the new system seems like a no-brainer because of an earlier Washington law passed at the height of the meth epidemic in the state.

That law required pharmacies and other retailers to record the name and

address of the purchaser, along with a description of the product sold and the quantity of the product.

Previously, this information was recorded and not entered into a centralized database. Now, with the new tracking system, such information is recorded into a shared database in real-time, and is able to alert cashiers and pharmacists as to whether the person purchasing the products has exceeded the limit on purchases.

Those limits include no more than 3.6 grams of any of the substances in one purchase, or nine grams over a 30-day period. The new system alerts pharmacists and cashiers to whether the purchaser has bought any of the marked medications in another state.

Federal Way police detective’s perspective Locally, the real-time tracking system and the stricter purchasing laws have made a huge impact, according to Federal Way Police Det. Bryan Klingele.

Klingele works in the Special Investigations Unit, where his job focuses on narcotics.

“I would definitely say the methamphetamine labs are almost non-existent now because of the tracking system and having to have valid identification to buy those products,” Klingele said. “They’ve definitely made a huge impact on methamphetamine production.”

As a member of law enforcement, Klingele said he’s aware that many view the ID requirement as onerous, but he feels it’s an acceptable inconvenience.

“I realize it’s an inconvenience to present identification to buy over-the-counter cold medication, but you have to realize the safety of the community is the driving force behind these statutes,” he said. “The big picture is, the community is safer on a daily basis.”

...obituaries JoAnn B. (Roberts) Keeney JoAnn B. (Roberts) Keeney, born 8/03/1943 to Bruce J. and Martha A. (Heitsmith) Roberts in San Francisco, CA, passed from this life July 28, 2012 with her loving family by her side.

Sexual assault victims from FW

Mary Ellen Stone, executive director of KCSARC, touched on the number of Federal Way residents they’ve seen pass through their doors in the first half of 2012.

“There were 115 victims of sexual assault (in Federal Way) in the first six months of 2012,” Stone said. “That’s a lot of people. Almost 80 percent of them are children and youth. That’s a lot of families.”

Stone said KCSARC is the only organization of its kind to provide these types of services for victims.

“If you think about our services in terms of health care…There are times you want a generalist, and there are times you want a specialist,” Stone said. “We’re the only organization that offers specific therapy for PTSD. We’re the only ones that provide services for the families.”

The Human Services Commission had decided to reduce funding to KCSARC by $5,000 — from $30,000 last year to $25,000 for 2013-14. Stone said that loss of $5,000 would translate to about 50 man-hours.

Pregnancy Aid Pat Noecker, representing Pregnancy Aid-South King County, had a similar argument to make for funding.

She said relatively sizable numbers of Federal Way residents seek help from her pro-life organization.

“We have 252 families from Federal Way coming to Pregnancy Aid. They come as much as once a month, and they take what they need,” Noecker said.

“We need your help, and since you take up about a quarter of the people who come into Pregnancy Aid daily, we need some help from you.”

Noecker noted that the Pregnancy Aid organization has seven locations throughout Western Washington, including offices in Auburn and Kent.

Unfortunately for Federal Way residents, those offices in Auburn and Kent only serve residents of those two cities. Because of this, Federal Way residents find their way to her office more often than not.

Reduced funding Ron Secreto, the chair for the Human Services Committee, addressed both Stone and Noecker’s concerns. He said that the number of requests for funding for 2013-14 was

remembered it being.

“We had three teams of commissioners, each taking one-third of the 76 applications that we had, which I think is the most we’ve ever had,” he said, describing the commission’s rating system for applicants. “It’s very difficult to decide who is going to be on that funding list.”

Secreto said the commission also prioritizes applicants by their proximity to Federal Way, and also on what could best be described as tenure.

“With the reduced amount of money we had, we tried to look first at agencies that are in Federal Way, or in very close proximity, that are serving the most Federal Way people.

And ones that had been with us for a long period of time that we know are doing the job and can do the job,” Secreto explained.

There were two total amounts the commission worked with for the grant funding — one figure of $516,000 and the other figure being $430,000.

The difference comes in the commission’s uncertainty on whether the city council will maintain the funding level from last year ($516,000) or scale it back to what it had been before 2012 ($430,000).

What to cut?

While there was not much help for either Stone or Noecker forthcoming, council member Roger Freeman did find one agency he thought could use less funding: The King County Bar Association.

That group was slated for $6,500 from the city.

“I can tell you right now who doesn’t need your money is the King County Bar Association. They have wonderful fundraisers that lawyers go to, and charge a lot of money to donate,” Freeman, a lawyer himself, said with humor. “I’m not sure what they said to come to Federal Way and say, ‘We need your money.’”

City staff explained to Freeman that the Bar Association had made similar arguments as Stone and Noecker, with the lawyers indicating that a large number of Federal Way residents take advantage of the Bar’s pro-bono services.

The council members and the commission members agreed to take $1,500 off the funding request from the Bar. The recommendations were sent back to the Human Services Commission so the fate of that $1,500 could be decided by Sept. 4.

He attended Mirror Lake and Twin Lake elementary schools, Sacajawea Middle School, and Federal Way High School.

Uuph’n! Uuph’n! Uuph’n!

An all-star sportsman and stellar student academically, Tope competed among some of the best in the district, state, and nation. He became freshman president, and middle school football and basketball captains, among other noted appointments.

Uuph’n! Uuph’n! Uuph’n!

Were he not to become a star at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, Tope would have definitely found cushy positions in government, academia, law, or the diplomatic corps.

The coroner’s report will perhaps state that the charismatic boy died of drowning on the evening of Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012. But what the report is unable to tell you is that the 6-foot3, 186-pound Tope had permanently changed lives near and far.

Nobody was ever too old or too young to evade Tope’s attention. There was nothing fake about him.

What you saw was what you got. He will be best remembered for his encouraging words, bear hugs, megawatt smiles, and great sense of humor.

His cousin, Wole, showed me Tope’s last text to him, less than three hours before his passing. I knew of no other teenager who composed his text messages in perfect English.

“I want to tell you something, and this will perhaps hurt our friendship. But I must get it off my chest,” Tope began his missive. Wole read the long text, wondering what had he done to jeopardize their relationship. Having been worked up for nothing, Tope’s question in the end was simply asking: “Which soda do you prefer, Coke or Pepsi?”

Uuph’n! Uuph’n! His funeral service at Christian Faith Center last Friday saw another great outpouring of support. The church was packed with his family, principal, teachers, and fellow schoolmates.

Some looked down on the printed program as they fought back tears. Others reflected on the video montage of his life. And still others had a hard time believing that he was gone despite the gray metal casket ominously reminding them that it was so.

Less than two miles away, at the Christ the King Bible Fellowship, another Federal Way funeral service was under way — that of Marques Weekly. It is estimated that more than 700 people attended that memorial as well.

What are the odds that two young men that I knew would drown on the same day and have their funeral services at the exact time and city?

Tope and my two younger boys ran track together, while Marques and my oldest boy sang together in the same choir, and grew up in the same youth group.

We had all fellowshipped together at various times.

Death can come across as being cold and lonely. For that mile-long motorcade from Federal Way to Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Renton, there were other movements that changed the direction of the symphony.

I strongly doubt there’s any power on Earth that can ever subdue a mother’s primal scream for her deceased child. The boy’s mom wailed, and the music crescendoed. Ten minutes after the pastor committed Tope’s remains to the Earth, it was all over. Yes, just like that.

Uuph’n! That afternoon, the lifeless body that once possessed the hope and dreams that had changed our world, was ensconced in a shallow grave. Student pallbearers stared in belief, some throwing flower petals onto the casket, and seemingly refused to budge.

According to relatives, Tope means “Thank God for giving us this child.” Let it be known that not only his parents will be singing this paean.

It has been our collective joy to celebrate Tope’s sharing nearly 16 years of his life with us. Replacing uuph’n with hahahahaha will be a long time coming.

city grant, and the help of volunteers.

Now celebrating its fourth season of operation, Reach Out can boast more than 8,000 hours of volunteer work and more than $140,000 of donations.

“Our money is tabulated as in-kind dollars,” said Jaenicke. This means that donations of food, clothes and other goods can be given a certain dollar amount.

Although Reach Out began strictly as a men’s shelter, Jaenicke and her team successfully opened a women’s shelter in the Federal Way area.

“The next closest South King County women’s shelter is in Burien,” said Jaenicke. “And that shelter is always filled to capacity.”

Reach Out reports that 21 women were assisted during the last winter season, with eight of them finding permanent housing.

“There was a worry that the women wouldn’t interact with each other, that they wouldn’t be social,” said Jaenicke. “But they became a family, they would talk to each other, laugh, do each other’s nails. And the pastor at the shelter told us it was like supervising a teenage summer camp.”

Even though the women’s

operating for one season, Jaenicke is enthusiastic about the results.

“Our first two seasons we relied heavily on donations from area churches and a small grant from the city,” she said. “But during our third season we became a part of Catholic Community Services (CCS).”

CCS provides screeners and case managers for those seeking shelters and has brought a new level of professionalism to Reach Out. Previously, Federal Way’s Multi-Service Center was responsible for screening and casework.

When the men and women enter a Reach Out shelter, they are checked in and given a hot meal for dinner.

The men and women go through background checks to ensure there are no prior felonies or predatory acts.

At its heart, Reach Out spawned from the compassion of a select few people.

It now thrives due to the efforts and actions of those just as dedicated.

Jaenicke is assisted by Willa Gaines, who coordinates meals and secures hosts for the Reach Out shelters. Laura Fiorito is Reach Out’s information coordinator.

Charity breakfast To make sure Reach Out continues successfully helping the less fortunate in Federal Way, there will be a fundraising breakfast on Sept. 25 at the Christian Faith Center.

Although Reach Out has access to more funds through CCS, the majority of the organization’s money comes from fundraising and area church volunteers.

The breakfast is crucial to Reach Out’s next winter season.

If the breakfast proves a success, Reach Out will be able to continue helping those less fortunate in the Federal Way area. People who need a helping hand.

People like 19-year-old Aaron, who is now working toward a GED and has stable housing thanks to finding winter shelter through Reach Out. It is important to note that Aaron is not the young man’s real name.

“The problem with these people being candid with the media is if people recognize them when applying for a job, they automatically have this negative stigma that comes with being homeless,” said Jaenicke.

In the Puget Sound region, 67 percent of the available jobs require a post secondary degree. We are committed to equity and excellence for every one of our students, in every classroom, every day to improve every life.

Over the past two years, Federal Way Public Schools has increased student enrollment in our most rigorous academic courses, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge, by a staggering 76 percent. These classes are the most important classes students can take to ensure their success in college.

SUPERINTENDENT

Welcome to the 2012-13 school year!

I am sure our students are experiencing mixed emotions.

They are excited about reconnecting with their friends, looking forward to meeting their new teachers, and curious about what they will learn this year. Some may wish summer vacation could continue indefinitely.

As the year begins, I am filled with excitement and pride — pride in what we’ve accomplished as a district, and excitement for the direction in which we are headed.

Federal Way Public Schools is challenging students to reach new heights, expand their foundation of knowledge and skills, and prepare for their success after high school in an increasingly competitive world.

Never has education been as important as it is now in the globally competitive economy of the 21st century. A high school diploma is the minimum our students must have to suc-

the nation.

Not only are Federal Way students stepping up to the academic challenge, but they believe they possess the ability to succeed in the most demanding courses.

Last year, we took a bold step and implemented standards-based education (SBE) throughout the district. It was a challenge our education community faced together. Through various working committees and input from students, parents, staff and community members, I am excited about the SBE system improvements we are making this year. With SBE in place, not only are we expecting excellence, we have a fair and equitable way to measure progress.

In November, a capital levy will be placed on the ballot asking voters to approve funds to rebuild our flagship school, Federal Way High School. It’s a chance to create a 21st century educational environment that meets the changing needs of our students and embraces technological innovations. The

levy will also improve safety on our playgrounds with new playground equipment and improve security with updated and integrated security cameras.

My family was watching the London Olympics one evening and I was struck by a Nike commercial featuring the “Find Your Greatness” campaign. The voice on the television said, “Somehow we’ve come to believe that greatness is reserved for the chosen few, or the superstars. The truth is, greatness is for all of us. This is not about lowering expectations, it’s about raising them for every last one of us. Because greatness is not in one special place, or one special person. Greatness is wherever someone is trying to find it.”

Federal Way students are finding their greatness every day.

I welcome back our students, parents, teachers and staff, and wish all of you an excellent school year.

Time to think about college Charlie Hoff

COMMENTARY

District offers some of the most highly regarded academic programs in the nation, but many parents don’t seem to understand how important these programs might be to college admissions and college success.

Guidance counselors in our schools have more than 400 students and less than 180 days to meet with them.

Unfortunately, a lot of their time is spent in scheduling and dealing with issues other than getting your child into the right college.

Finding the right college can make a great deal of difference in the likelihood for success in college as well as determining the cost of college. There are thousands of choices.

College admission is becoming much more complex and competitive than it used to be. The learning curve can be quite steep if this process starts too late.

Often, I hear that planning for college at such an early age is too soon. Kids, and their parents, seem to

think that it is too early to be thinking about what courses they might want to study in college. Often, this is just a matter of learning what topics your child is interested in, or is not interested in, and focusing on developing these strengths.

Sometimes this requires asking the questions more than once. Many colleges are now offering programs to assist with this decision making process for ninth-graders.

In Seattle, every year, there is a College Fair where more than 100 colleges will be looking for students, not only for next year but for succeeding years. Will you take advantage of this? It could be a major help for your child.

How soon will colleges that you think might be desirable for your child know of your child’s existence? The sooner the better. School is about to start. Will the campaign for your child’s success in college be starting soon?

When should you start thinking about college for your child?

Unfortunately, many parents either aren’t thinking about this or waiting until their child is either a junior or senior in high school.

If you have an eighth-grader, should you be doing something about college? Almost all of those involved in college admissions would say yes.

Why so soon? In Washington, only about 16 percent of ninth-graders graduate from college in 10 years. Many would suggest that one of the primary reasons for this is that planning for college graduation did not start soon enough.

Is your child taking the right courses to even be considered for admission? I recently talked to a parent of a future ninth-grader.

The parent clearly had views that might not be well received by those who might read their child’s application for college in a few years.

The transition to middle school: Tips for parent-student survival Courtesy of Sylvan Learning in Federal Way

While it may be summer now, school will begin soon enough.

For Federal Way area students who said goodbye to elementary school earlier this year, this fall represents the start of a critical transition to middle school.

Middle school means new beginnings, experiences and challenges. And while these changes — new friends, new teachers and new school environment — can be exciting, they also can be a bit unnerving for new middle-schoolers.

Here are some of the most daunting changes local students will encounter during this year of transition — and some tips on how to work through them.

• The locker scare: One of the biggest concerns incoming middle-schoolers have is the locker. Instead of lugging their stuff around in one bag, students now have a place to store everything safely. The best part about the locker is being able to personalize it with photos, drawings, magazine clippings, and anything else that makes it feel comfortable. Ease locker fears and purchase a combination lock and practice before school starts.

• New campus: If your student has to go to an entirely new school, it may seem overwhelming at first.

Explore the school’s website with your child and better yet, explore the new campus. The better your child understands the school

layout and rules, the more at ease she’ll feel on the first day. Ask the school if there are any campus tours or orientations available to parents and incoming students. Get a map of the campus and take your child to explore.

• New schedule: With different classes in different rooms on different days, middle school schedules can seem confusing and scary at first. If your student needs help finding something or keeping track of where he has to be, encourage him to ask a teacher or other school staff for help.

• Time management: Work together on a schedule and develop an organizational system with your student. Acknowledge and make allowances for anxiety.

• General skills preparation: Summarizing, paraphrasing, and identifying main or important ideas and details are three skills that are essential in all content areas. After reading a book or watching a show/ movie, have kids summarize what happened orally.

Or have them recount the most important events.

• Taking notes: The workload and pace really pick up in middle school, so note-taking is going to be critical for them to keep up. Start encouraging your child to develop a method of shorthand to prepare for note-taking. Writing grocery lists and directions are simple ways for kids to practice. Show them your own writing shortcuts.

Note-taking is not auto-

matic. The more examples kids see, the quicker they’ll acquire the skill.

• Build their problem solving skills: Common Core State Standards outline the knowledge and skills K-12 students need to acquire for post-high school success. Included in the CCSS are Standards for Mathematical Practice, many of which focus on academic behaviors and attitudes such as perseverance, constructing viable arguments, critiquing others’ arguments, and paying attention to precision. As a parent, you can do your part to help a student acquire these key behaviors and attitudes. Encourage perseverance by having your child work through problems — rather than you stepping in to fix them.

Encourage your child to formulate opinions and back them up with sound reasoning. Encourage your child to do things correctly rather than just finish them.

• New friends: One crucial area of worry for middle-schoolers is the social scene. You can help ease their trepidation by opening lines of communication and providing a sympathetic ear. Kids’ worries and concerns about fitting in and making friends may seem trivial to adults, but for kids, these worries often trump worries about academics. Listen to their concerns and advise them on basic social skills. Encourage your child to join group conversations. Discuss how to join in without interrupting, to add something

Become a Mentor—Make a Difference!

One hour, one day a week. That’s all it takes to be a mentor to a student in Federal Way and change the life of a child.

What does a mentor do? ✓ Listen (most important)

relevant to conversation in progress, etc.

• Socializing online: Online use of social media will ramp up during middle school. In fact, the average teenager sends more than 3,000 text messages a month. Make sure your kids understand that what they say and do online may come back to hurt them — or hurt others. Set guidelines for use of social media on both computers and handheld devices. Make sure you are able to regularly monitor your child’s access to text messaging and social media sites like Facebook. Increased awareness allows parents to talk to their children before issues spiral out of control.

FEDERAL WAY HIGH SCHOOL AM P/U #1

Representatives of SRG Partnership, the architectural firm tasked with the redesign of Federal Way High School (FWHS), will be available to the public again from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 23.

The Meet and Greet will be held at the district’s Support Services Center, 1211 S. 332nd St., just south of Celebration Park.

The intent of the Meet and Greet is to ensure that the community’s voices are heard regarding what they’d like to see in the new Federal Way High School.

A few questions the district asked residents in an official press release included: • What kind of learning spaces will students need? What kind of technology will teachers use in five, 25 or 50 years?

• Should the building be closer to

Pacific Highway, or farther back on the campus? Should it be one story, or two?

• How can the community create a school that’s ready for the 21st century, but also holds on to the proud traditions of FWHS that have accumulated over the last several decades?

Federal Way voters will be asked to approve a $60 million capital projects levy in November for the rebuild/redesign of Federal Way High School. Money from that levy will also be used to upgrade playground equipment throughout the district, and also standardize the district’s security camera systems.

Voters rejected the district’s first attempt to get the levy approved in February, with about 55 percent of local voters saying no to the proposed project. The total cost of the project for rebuilding FWHS is expected to be $110 million, with the district picking up $50 million of that cost through savings it accrued.

UFC: Henderson still lightweight champ with win over Edgar

nouncer Bruce Buffer said, “still lightweight champion of the world, Benson Henderson.”

“I felt I improved from last time, and I think I did enough to win,” Edgar said. “A lot of people told me they thought I’d won, but it doesn’t matter. The judges didn’t. The decision is not going to chance, and it is what it is.”

Henderson (17-2 overall, 5-0 in the UFC) won the February meeting by unanimous decision, but Edgar was granted an immediate rematch by UFC President Dana White. Edgar held the 155-pound lightweight championship for nearly two years before the loss to Henderson and granted B.J. Penn and Gray Maynard rematches.

“I’m not a judge,” White said. “Ben Henderson won the fight, he retained his title, and that’s the end of it. That’s why I always say, if you don’t want to be sitting in here going, ‘I think I won that fight,’ you cannot leave it in the hands of the judges. Don’t let it get there.”

The win over Edgar (14-3-1) means Henderson will defend [ more henderson page 22 ]

DENVER — The second time around was much like the first time for Benson Henderson and Frankie Edgar.

Saturday night in front of a sold-out crowd inside Denver’s Pepsi Center, Henderson retained his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight championship with his second-straight decision win over Edgar. The Decatur grad won 48-47 on two of the judge’s scorecards and Edgar won 4946 on the third judge’s card in the main event at UFC 150.

And just like the first time Henderson and Edgar got together in Japan at UFC 144, the judges’ decision was controversial. A large portion of the Pepsi Center crowd booed the final verdict when ring an-

Briefs: Seniors win big softball title

[ radford from page 19 ]

• The Seattle Sounders Women soccer team played a huge role in the United States’ gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. The Sounders provided starters Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Sydney Leroux to the American team.

The foursome came to the Sounders Women after Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) permanently suspended operations in May. The league’s owners had lost several million dollars during its three-year run.

The end of WPS marked the second time in nine years that a women’s professional league has failed despite the popularity of the U.S. women’s national team. In 2003, the Women’s United Soccer Associa-

But there is a new professional women’s league is in the works, with plans to begin play in as many as eight U.S. cities next spring.

Knowing this, the Seattle Sounders Women issued a long statement this week about the possibility of a team being located in Seattle.

“The Seattle Sounders Women, coming off an incredibly successful 12th season as a franchise in the USL W-League, will absolutely return to the pitch for a 2013 campaign. We are aware of the possibility to move to a different league or evolve with our current league. At this point, the Sounders Women are open to all options and evaluating what is best for women’s soccer in the United States as well as what is best for the Sounders Women and our unparalleled fans.

Whether we are dealing with our

own league or outside interests, women’s pro soccer deserves a fair shot at surviving. What survival means is a dogged restraint to costs in such a way that can compel future franchise growth nationwide. Our league and owners must agree on realistic player salaries and franchise fees and conjoin them with knowledgeable soccer people and business infrastructure.

The Sounders Women encourage our fans and all supporters of women’s soccer to be patient in order to ensure a stable, sustainable, and prosperous model is chosen for the women’s game in the U.S. so previous unsuccessful models are not repeated.”

• The Federal Way Football Club (FWFC) G99 Strikers went 3-1 during the Blast Off Soccer Tournament. The team’s only loss came in the championship to RVS 99 White Slammers. Federal Way lost 2-0 and those were the only two goals scored against them during the tournament.

The Northwest-80’s senior softball team won the 2012 SSUSA Western Nationals AAA age 80 Championship at the tournament held last week in Aurora, Colo. The team includes players 80 and older.

The NW-80s, from Federal Way, played against strong competitive teams, both from the AAA and Major divisions. The team had to fight back through the loser’s bracket to beat both Scrap Iron and the Texas Classics to be awarded the AAA championship.

According to the team’s coach, the guys played like warriors contending not only with the strong competition but also battling the mid-90’s temperatures, oppressive humidity and the effects of the mile-high altitude outside of Denver. One game was interrupted by thunder and lightening strikes and the team had to retreat to their cars.

Cagefighting (WEC). He won all three by unanimous decision over Mark Bocek, Jim Miller and Clay Guida.

In the past seven years, former and current UFC champions have become millionaires many times over from fight purses alone. Guys like Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Georges St. Pierre have grossed well over $3 million in purses alone, according to mmamanifesto.com. That doesn’t take into consideration things like sponsorships, appearances and fight bonuses.

It was just announced at UFC 150 that current light heavyweight champ Jon “Bones” Jones will be sponsored by Nike, the gold standard in sports with clients like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Jones’ Nike deal was actually facilitated by Henderson’s agent, Malki Kawa, who also represents Jones.

“It legitimizes the sport in such a big way,” Kawa said. “It opens the door for every other fighter out there because now, if you’re an intelligent manager or marketing guy, you go to people and say, ‘Hey, look, Nike’s

Other opportunities that Henderson can take advantage of, as long as he keeps winning. Henderson is an advertiser’s dream. He is a proud Christian, who uses his fighting to share his beliefs. Henderson has never even sipped alcohol.

Henderson’s next title defense will come against Nate Diaz sometime in 2012. The fight is already shaping up to be a barnburner. Early reports have the title fight possibly taking place Dec. 8 at the network-televised UFC on FOX 5 card, according to USA Today.

Diaz, who was ringside at Saturday’s win over Edgar, questioned the judges’ decision to UFC President Dana White and also went to Twitter with a message that read “????” moments after Henderson’s hand was raised.

“He walked up to me and said, ‘Frankie Edgar won that fight,’” White told reporters after the split decision.

According to unofficial numbers, Henderson made a cool $60,000 Saturday night when he defended his UFC lightweight championship belt with a split decision win over Frankie Edgar in Denver. That’s far from the couple hundred bucks Henderson made when he started his MMA career in 2006.

It was his second win over Edgar in the past seven months.

Henderson won the lightweight belt when he beat Edgar at UFC 144 in Japan, where he made a reported $125,000. The payout included $30,000 to show, $30,000 for winning and a $65,000 fight of the night bonus.

Things are only going to get better for Henderson, assuming he keeps the lightweight championship belt around his waist for a while. Despite being at the pinnacle in the loaded 155-pound division of the UFC, Henderson is still known as an up-andcomer.

During 2011, Henderson reportedly made $193,000 fighting in the UFC. Last year, Henderson fought three times in the UFC after moving over from World Extreme

Being a professional fighter is a tough existence. Nobody is ever going to question that.

Getting your face beat in day after day in practice, losing 20 pounds in two days to “make weight,” and the inevitable case of cauliflower ear are just things that go along with making your living as a fighter.

That living usually doesn’t last very long.

Most guys realize that making a few hundred dollars per fight isn’t worth all the effort.

Federal Way native Benson Henderson has bucked those odds and is making a healthy living as a professional mixed-martial arts (MMA) fighter.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the NFL, NBA and MLB all rolled into one in the MMA business. Henderson is one of only seven UFC champions. The elite of the already elite.

Being the best 155-pound MMA fighter in the world has brought well-deserved rewards for the 2001 Decatur High School graduate. Henderson is now making a good living in the rough-andtumble business of professional fighting.

Despite the victory, Henderson wasn’t totally happy with his performance against Edgar. “The biggest thing I was disappointed in myself with is that I didn’t push the pace enough,�

Henderson said. “I didn’t do a good enough job of capitalizing and getting on top of him when he was off balance. My coaches were yelling at me to push the pace, but I was lethargic and didn’t push it as much as I should have.�

The height and weight disparity between Henderson and Edgar was more than noticeable. Henderson is listed at 5-foot-9 and has stated before that he “walks around� at nearly 180 pounds before cutting weight before a fight. On the other hand, Edgar is listed at 5-foot-6 and doesn’t have to cut weight to make the 155-pound limit.

The first round started with both fighters feeling each other out. Henderson landed a couple leg kicks before catching him with a guillotine choke hold late in the round. Edgar was able to withstand the choke before the bell ended the round. “That was a part of the original game plan, going forward and targeting that to get him off-balance and then capitalize,� Henderson said

www.federalwaymirror.com www.federalwaymirror.com of the leg kicks. “I didn’t do a good enough job of capitalizing and getting on top of him when he was offbalance. I think I landed it three or four times where he was off-balance and stumbled a little bit and I wasn’t able to quite do what we wanted to do with it.�

The second round was dominated

by Edgar, who connected with a right hand two minutes into the round, knocking Henderson to the ground. The Toms River, NJ native then stayed on top of Henderson for most of the round.

The third round proved to be the decisive one of the match. Henderson won the basically non-eventful five minutes on two of the judges’ cards and Edgar was given the round by the third judge.

Henderson turned up the heat again in round four, landing a head kick from the ground that was similar to the kick he landed during their first bout in February.

The kick broke Edgar’s nose and basically won the fight for Henderson.

The fifth and final round was a close one, as well. But in the end, all three judges scored the round for Edgar. “I thought I was ahead heading into the fifth round,� Henderson said. “Maybe, at worst, it was even and I had to win the fifth round. But anytime you leave it in the judges’ decision ,even if you beat the guy up, you never know.� “I came in here and laid it all on

the line,� Edgar said. “I thought I won, but congrats to Ben.� “All of Frankie Edgar’s fights seem to be controversial,� Henderson said. “It doesn’t really matter what I think,� Edgar replied. “I could be pissed off, but it’s still the decision and it’s never going to change, so it is what it is.�

The crowd was buzzing before Henderson and Edgar entered the Octagon after hometown boy Donald “Cowboy� Cerrone knocked out Melvin Guillard in the co-main event. Cerrone is the guy Henderson beat to win the World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) title. He also won another rematch with Cerrone at WEC 48 in Sacramento.

Henderson, 28, began wrestling during his time at Lakota Middle School and continued at Decatur, where he competed under head coach Mike Bressler.

His prep career culminated with a second-place finish at the 2001 Mat Classic state wrestling championships inside the Tacoma Dome, losing to University’s Tommy Owen in the 135-pound title match.

After Decatur, Henderson went on to wrestle at Dana College in Nebraska, where he earned NAIA All-American honors as a senior after finishing in fifth place at 157 pounds in 2006.

Henderson’s performance helped Dana College win the NAIA national championship that year.

He actually started MMA fighting a year after after a dare from a

A common problem cited by many seniors is their inability to get a good night’s sleep, which not only leads to daytime grogginess but has also been linked to some potential health problems. Sleeping fewer than seven hours a night can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and type-2 diabetes.

This should be a concern to people who sleep less than seven hours nightly.

Primary care physicians typically do not ask patients about their sleep problems; therefore, people experiencing sleep problems are encouraged to bring the subject up with their doctors. Sleep problems lasting more than three nights usually have underlying causes that sleeping pills do not address.

We are pleased to bring you interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we treat our senior residents like family members. We provide a caring, nurturing environment that encourages our residents to achieve their personal best. To learn more about us, contact us today at (253) 939-1332. Let us schedule a meeting and tour of our unique senior community at 2902 I Street N.E. We offer both independent living apartments and an assisted living facility. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972. We will exceed your expectations!

“God bless him,” Henderson said. “It’s going to be a fun fight. I know going into this fight he gets guys worked up in the head and stuff. He’s a tough fighter. I’m anxious to get into that also.”

Henderson is also anxious to collect the paycheck that will go along his network-televised title defense. The last time there was a UFC championship on the line on FOX, heavyweight Junior dos Santos walked out of the ring with $290,000 for his first-round knockout of Cain Velasquez at UFC on FOX 1.

Unlike a lot of fighters, Henderson had the work ethic and talent to make it in the cut-throat business of professional MMA fighting, and his bank account is reaping the benefits.

Federal Way residents Ken Morris and Paul Thomas Evers recently created their second coloring book, “Paul and Friends: Again,” to help raise money for Alzheimer’s research.

The book, set to be released Aug. 18, will help benefit the University of South Florida’s Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute. That organization is aimed at helping “heal the mind, body and soul of those affected by Alzheimer’s.”

“I believe in bringing people together through the arts. What you do isn’t as important as why you do it,” said Morris, the editor and producer of the book.

Evers, who is the artist and illustrator for the book, has been personally affected

by Alzheimer’s.

Evers and his family cared for his ailing grandmother during her battle with the disease, until she passed away last year.

“My grandmother has always been my inspiration to be an artist. She used to always tell me, ‘You’re the best one.’ We’re donating the earnings from Volume 2 so that everyone’s grandma can say that to them,” Evers said.

The dynamic duo are roommates here in Federal Way. They plan to sell their book at local farmers markets, events, fairs and the like. The book will also be available for purchase directly from Amazon.com.

To learn more about the book and see some sneak previews of the art, visit www.facebook.com/paulandfriends.

To learn about the University of South Florida’s Health Byrd Alzheimer’s institute, visit http://health. usf.edu/byrd/partner.htm.

Outside of the Paul and Friends books, Evers and Morris have also created an award-winning film named “Obselidia.” They have written a half-dozen scripts, and have shot several short films.

They plan on releasing future volumes of the Paul and Friends coloring books, and plan to donate the proceeds to other charities.

The intersection of South 320th Street and Pacific Highway is equipped with traffic enforcement cameras. ANDY HOBBS, The Mirror eted by a camera at South 348th Street in Federal Way? “I fought it,” he said, “and I won.”

Dollars and sense Federal Way pays $4,750 per month per intersection to ATS to cover processing. That total cost to the city, per month, is about $53,000.

In 2011, the cameras generated $945,606 in net revenue. So far in 2012, the city reports a net revenue of nearly $1.2 million through June — about $552,000 more than the same yearto-date total from the previous year. One factor for the

increase in citations is the school zone cameras.

Revenue from the cameras goes into the city’s traffic safety fund.

In July 2010, the city council extended Federal Way’s contract with American Traffic Solutions for enforcement cameras through 2013.

In May 2011, a glitch at ATS resulted in the dismissal of 137 infractions from Federal Way. The glitch involved faulty notification of the alleged violations.
